WHO IS REALLY RUNNING AMERICA? Joe Biden clearly is not. Biden even Forgets Who He’s Talking To — Calls Australian PM ‘That Fella Down Under’ · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: There is always going to be a cause and effect
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: in politics when you have leaders that change course, whether
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: they do something it's a great thing or a terrible thing,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: there is always a cause and effect worldwide, and what
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: we are witnessing right now is the cause and effect
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: of a week. President Joe Biden has gotten to the
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: point where it's just so bad that last night he
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: actually forgot who he was talking to. And when he
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: forgot he was talking to, it happened to be the
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: Australian Prime Minister. He was forced to refer to him
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: as that fella down under. That's right, US President Joe
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: Biden appeared to forget who he was talking to Wednesday
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: night when he looked away from his prepared notes for
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: just a second and address the Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: He couldn't remember he was talking to, and so he
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: then had to figure out way to fix it, and
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: then he referred to him as that fellow down under.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: The verbal fumble came during an exchange between the two
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: leaders and UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson detailing a defense
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: still struck by the long standing allies to help Australia
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: acquire nuclear power submarines. Thank you Boris, referring to Boris Johnson,
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: and I want to thank you that fellow down under,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: Biden said, as he turned to the large screen that
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Morrison was on. Thank you very much, Pal, appreciate it,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Prime Minister. The Australian leader simply smiled back politely and
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: gave a thumbs up because it was just well so
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: awkward and clearly the present for God who he was
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: speaking with. Thank you, Boris. And I want to thank
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: that fellow down under. Thank you very much. Pal, appreciate this,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Prime Minister. And I want to thank that fellow down under.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Thank you very much, Pal, Thank you very much, Pal.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: I want to thank that fellow down under. Thank you Boris.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Because Boris just stopped talking, so he knew his name,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: but the other guy hadn't spoken a few minutes, you know.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: In Australia, kind of a big deal. Yeah, we're gonna
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: announce this historic announcement of the auk US Defense Pack.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: We're gonna do it. And I want to I want
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: to think that, uh fella, Yeah, I want to. I
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: want to thank that fella from from down Under. Obviously,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: social media lit up, especially in Australia, because people thought
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: not only was it just kindescending as hell, but also
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: showing just how weak the president actually is. Social media
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: around the world cringe at the exchange before describing Biden
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: is quote hopeless, embarrassing and clearly not up for the
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: demands of the job. The Twitter hashtag then started to
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: trend last night people were trying to figure out what
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: it even meant. Hashtag that fella down Under was following
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: as various news outlets first digested the consequences. Now jerif
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Raje said Joe Biden just an old duffer. He's not
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: up to the job, as he tweeted out the video
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: that fell down under. Yeah, that fella down Under? Thanks Pal.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Can't remember your name, but thank you Pal. Sky News
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Australia said US President Joe Biden has had addressed Scott
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Morrison as Pal and that fella down Under after appearing
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: to forget the name of Australia's national leader in a
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: joint defense address press conference. They're not happy. Others in
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: the UK and in Australia furious over the fact the
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: president United States America would address their leader this way.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: As one put it's like an old man patting a
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: dog on the head boris, I forgot your name, but
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: you know, hey, that fella down under it it's all good.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: We like that. Now, let's go back to the consequences.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: And this is just another example of what's happening because
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: of the presence decision making. I'm going to read you
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: a couple of different headlines right now, and these are
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: important headlines, headlines that are showing you exactly what is
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: happening right now because there are people now that see
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: an opportunity. South Korea has launched a rocket. North Korea
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: launches a rocket. Rival Korea's test missiles hours apart, raising
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: tensions the highest level we've seen in years. This is
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: the crap that didn't happen when Donald Trump was the
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: president United States of America. North and South Korea each
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: tested ballistic missiles on Wednesday, just hours apart, in a
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: display that is sure to exacerbate tensions on the peninsula
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: at a time when talks aimed at stripping the North
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: of its nuclear program have stalled out. South Korea's presidential
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: office said the country conducted its first submarine launched ballistic
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: missile test. It said the domestically built missile flew from
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: a submarine and hit its target. While president of the
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: country and other top officials looked on Moon set improvements
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: in the country's missile capabilities would serve as a sure
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: deterrent against North Korea provocation, Mountain, Not so much. North
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Korea fired two short range ballistic missiles into the sea.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Those launches came two days after the North said it
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: fired a newly developed cruise missile, its first weapons test
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: in six months. When did Joe Biden become president when
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: not about seven months ago? Yeah, it's amazing how fast
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: things can fall apart. That's just one headline. By the way,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: I'll give you another example of what happens when people
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: see an opportunity. When America is weak, others will do
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: things they would never do when we were strong. Chinese
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: state run newspaper is now claiming warships could soon be
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: very near to Hawaii, testing and seeing what our military
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: will actually do. Chinese warships could soon show up near
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Hawaii and Guam, according to China state run newspaper Global Times.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: The newspapers said warships could be on their way, falling
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: claims at the US Navy challenge international waters near Beijing.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: The Global Times editor in chief tweeted, hopefully, when Chinese
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: warships passed through the Caribbean Sea or show up near
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Hawaiian Guam, one day, the US will uphold the same
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: standard of freedom of navigation. That day will come soon.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: The US Navy has been forced to respond to that tweet,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: saying they continue to uphold freedom of navigation and pointed
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: out that Chinese spy ships have sailed freely near Hawaii
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: in the past. Meanwhile, the US Coastguard recently released pictures
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: of an operation near Alaska's Islands last month in which
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: crews encountered four Chinese warships operating international waters roughly just
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: sixty miles off of US soil. Quote. While these ships
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: were within the US Exclusive Economic Zone, they followed international
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: law and norms and at no point entered US territorial waters.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: The officials said, if you don't think they're testing us
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: right now to see what then get away with You're
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: not paying attention now. You have this going on, you
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: have the US Australia security partnership, as Beijing is expanding
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: their military and their influence. The French are furious over this,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: saying we stabbed them in the back and even saying
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: we haven't felt this way since Donald Trump was present,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: trying to take a dig at Donald Trump, which is hilarious.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: And Japan's defense minister has now drawn a red line
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: in the island dispute. Yeah, this coming from CNN. Japan's
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: defense minister has now said we are drawing a red
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: line in the island dispute with China. Japan says they're
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: forced to draw that red line around an island chain
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: along also claimed by China, pushing back at Beijing's increasingly
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: aggressive military posturing and setting the stage for a potential
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: showdown between the regions two biggest powers. An exclusive interview
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: with CNN, the Japanese Defense minister said that these islands
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: are unquestionably Japanese territory and would be defended as such,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: with Tokyo matching any Chinese threat to the island's ship
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: or shipments and beyond if necessary. Japan has been expanding
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: its self defense forces, as they call it, adding stay
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: of the art F thirty five fighter jets and converting
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: warships to aircraft carriers for them. It is also building
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: new destroyers, submarines, and missiles, all the while noting its
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: military expenditure still pales in comparison with China's increased military spending. Now,
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: why is this happening right now? Because when America doesn't lead,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: others do what they have to do to act out.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: And this is what happens when America is weak and
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: others are seeing an opportunity. They're seeing a president that's
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: incredibly weak. While all of this is happening, Joe Biden
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: is totally distracted. He's distracted by Millie. He's now distracted
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: by reports have come out that he's being forced to
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: deny he says, quote Biden denies advice to keep troops
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: in Afghanistan. We're now being told that there are multiple
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: people around the president. They were telling him, whatever you do,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: don't pull all the troops out of Afghanistan. Remember the
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: plan from Donald Trump was to keep a small force
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: in Afghanistan so that we could fight terrorists whenever we
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: needed to. And then you've got this other massive problem,
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: which is General Millie, a man that apparently was undermined
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: the President United States America in Donald Trump, not only
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: undermining him, but actively working with our adversaries and saying
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: we would let them know if we were ever going
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: to attack them well in advance. Democrats aren't denying any
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: of this. Right is now being basically treated as total
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: fact in this reporting from Bob Woodward's book. So, now,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: what is the White House saying about this right after
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: these calls with China, after him undermining the President Unit
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: States America virtually going rogue and taking over our government.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Here's what the Biden administration is said about General Millie,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. What I can sure
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: you all of is that the President knows General Millie.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: He has been Chairman of the Joint Chiefs for almost
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: eight months of his presidency. They've worked side by side
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: through a range of international events. And the President has
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: complete confidence in his leadership, his patriotism, and his fidelity
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: to our constitution. The President believes he's patriotic, that he
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: is his fidelity to our Constitution is unquestionable, and he
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: has complete confidence and not. The President's experience with him
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: is that he is a man of honor. He is
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: a man who's the President's confident in his leadership, his patriotism,
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: his fidelity to the Constitution, and he is a patriot.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: He has somebody who is has fidelity to the Constitution,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: and he has confidence in his leadership and the role
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: he has played in his experience with him. The President
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: has complete confidence in his leadership, his patriotism, and his
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: fidelity to our Constitution. The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: any chairman of the Joint Stee Chiefs, has channels to
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: communicate with China and Russia. That those are meant to
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: increase confidence, those are meant to prevent and deter any
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: action that would be that would be unintended. And that
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: is a good thing. I mean, you hear this and
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: it's just insane. Over and over again. They're saying the
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: same things. They're not denying that he did this. They're
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: not saying the reporting is inaccurate. They're not saying undermining
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump. They weren't. They're not saying he didn't go
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: rogue this amount of honor right after allegedly calling China
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: and going behind the presence back on China. Now, Christopher Miller,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: former acting Secretary of Defense, has put out a statement.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: This is Trump's Defense Secretary's statement saying, quote unquote, if
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: the reporting in Woodward's book is accurate, it represents a
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: disgraceful and unprecedented act of insubordination by the nation's top
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: military officer. He must resign immediately or be fired by
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: the Secretary of Defense. I couldn't agree more with that statement.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: By the way, the statement is spot on because it
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: is an unprecedent active insubordination by the nation's top military officer.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: Now Mike Pompeo, former Secretary of State, he went on
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: Handy last night and had a lot to say, and
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: I'm going to play that for you, But first I
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: want you to understand something else in the context. Handy's
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: point that he was making is you got to know
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: who your enemy is, especially if you are the chairman
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: of the Joint Chiefs, especially if you're the nation's top
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: military officer. Right, You've got to know who your enemy is.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: You have to know who all of them are. And
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: Mike Pompeo's point, which I'm going to let him make,
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: is how on earth can we trust a guy to
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: run our military who not only is doing something that's
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: totally unprecedented. Many would refer to it as treason, as
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: clearly an active insubordination at the highest level, and not
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: only that, but actually giving information to our adversaries to
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: our enemies and thinking that he's doing a good thing
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: for the United States of America. Take a listen, and
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: on radio we talk a lot about knowing your enemy.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: For example, the terrorists, the Taliban, they are terrorists, and
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: they are enemy al Qaeda and ISIS, they're terrorists. There
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: are enemies, the malignant governments of Iran, North Korea, China. Yep,
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: there are enemies Russia. Same thing in twenty fifteen, though
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: General Millie didn't seem to realize this. Take a watch.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: China is not an enemy, and I think that's important
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: for people to clearly understand. China is a rising power.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: Was seeing a significant increase in Chinese military capabilities over
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: the last ten to twenty years, and they are going
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: to develop themselves and are developing themselves into a great power.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: That is not to say, however, that they are an enemy.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: So what role did that line of thinking play in
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: Millie's phone calls with top Chinese official? Here with reaction,
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: Former Secretary of State Fox has contributed to Mike Pompeo,
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: Mister Secretary, you're actually mentioned in this and I want
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: to give you an opportunity to respond. In this excerpt,
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: that was put out by The Washington Post. It says
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: even some of Trump's most loyal advisors privately expressed concern.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: After the election, Then Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: Millie that Trump was in a dark place right now.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: Millie had just one goal in shoring the peaceful transfer
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: of power January twentieth. And he told you, Millie telling Pompeo,
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: we got a plane with four engines and three of
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: them are out. We have got no landing gear. But
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: we're gonna land this plane, and we're gonna land it safely.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: I've known you a long time, mister Secretary. I've known
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: you to be an honest and truthful man. Is that true?
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: I have no recollection of a conversation like that. Look,
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: we were all pretty down. We were about to hand
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: over the reins of foreign policy to what this administration.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: We've seen these last eight months, what that means for
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: the United States of America. So, if someone asked, was
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: I excited about January twentieth and the fact that we
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: were no longer going to have the capacity to secure
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: American freedom, account me for being a pretty dark place too.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: But what's important to know, Sean is you know, all
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: this has as a predicate that I did is somehow
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: there was this fear there was there was the cabinet
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: members running around concerned that Donald Trump was going to
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: engage in some kind of rogue activity or some kind
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: of active war to sort of lash out. This never happened.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: It's just patently absurd. And so the entire predicate for
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: all of this assessment that Woodward has now laid out
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: in his book. We'll see what turns out, but make
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: no mistake about it, during that entire time, the entire
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: time I served, all four years, we conducted orderly foreign policy.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: We had a national security team that was working hard
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: to make sure that we made the best decisions we
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: possibly could, and I think the data set would show
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: that we did a pretty damn effective job in doing that.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: You know what, we can see the difference in Afghanistan today, Sir,
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: and just the threat of obliteration kept the Taliban in line,
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: and not a single American died in eighteen months toll
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: last year the Trump presidency. Not one American citizen died,
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: and no American would have been left behind on your
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: watching Donald Trump's watch, I can say that also let's
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: talk about the hypotheticals here, the allegations that are being
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: made this serious. Number one, the role that Millie might
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: have had with other high ranking military officials to gain
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: their loyalty, that any decision must go through me. I
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: don't see. Constitutionally he's in that chain of command. It
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: would go from the president to the Secretary of Defense,
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: and then it would make its way down, but the
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: call would be the president's, not General Millie's. Number Two,
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: what is Nancy Pelosi's role in all of this? And
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: number three? We both know Russia, China, Iran, North Korea
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: hostile regimes. Nobody doubts that. My question is is it
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: wouldn't that transcript exist if he in fact called China
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: without permission of his own defense secretary and made a
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: deal that he would tip off China, if in fact
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: America felt the need to defend itself in some way
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: militarily and would do what is the word you would
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: use to describe that, unconstitutional, incomprehensible, and completely out of line.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: You listen to what Pompeo said there, unconstitutional, incompetent, completely
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: out of line. He's absolutely right. Mike Pompeio is a
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: guy that for four years dealt with our adversaries. He
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: dealt with the whole plan to get out of Afghanistan.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: He dealt with the Taliban and set down with the
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: Taliban directly negotiating with people that Joe Biden and Barack
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: Obama let out a Gitmo. Right, this guy had a
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: tough job. But in the last year of the presidency
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: of Donald Trump, not a single American was killed in Afghanistan.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: Why because they knew that, and it was very clear
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: we had a policy of conditions policy with Afghanistan and
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: pulling out its conditions based you screw with us, will
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: blow the hell out of you. You messed with any
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: of our assets, will bloil the hell out of you.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: You allow a kinder to get back in charge, will
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: blow the hell out of you. That was to the
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: Afghan government and the Taliban. All that was abandoned, every
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: bit of it. And this idea that you know, General
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: Millie went rogue against our constitution, elected by no one
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: and was telling his chain of command, you basically have
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: to pledge allegiance to me. It is funny that the
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: things that the media said Trump did right, like you
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: got to pledge allegiance him, that he was psycho, that
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: he was parano in the White House, that you know,
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: you had to pledge, allegings him at all costs, and
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: all this other you know crap that we dealt with
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: in the media for four years, which wasn't true. Is
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: literally exactly what guys like Millie actually are doing under
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: the Biden administration. You know the things that were said
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: about Donald Trump, He's gonna get some War War three.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: I gave you all the headlines about Japan, North Korea,
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: South Korea, gave of giving you all these headlines about Australia,
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: all this stuff happening the world, Russia, which one you
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: think is gonna give us in to War War three,
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden and seven months, look at where we are.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: Look at what's happening in the world. In seven months.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: You have a terrorist organization literally running an entire country
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: in the Middle East right now, And you wanted me
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: to be afraid of Donald Trump because Donald Trump was
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: a law and ordered guide that didn't screw up with
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: terrorist They killed him wherever they popped up and held
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: them accountable and went after and decimated ISIS. And everyone's like, oh,
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: he's gonna get us in War War three. If anybody's
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: gonna get us in War War three, it's Joe Biden.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: Could be in two ways, one because he does something
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: stupid that causes it, or two from walking away from
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: our standing in the world. You allow, by default at
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: War War three to break out between other countries. North
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: South Korea shooting ballistic missiles off yesterday great examp ample
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: of this. What happens if they invade Taiwan. Great example
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: of this. What about Japan and China? You know they're
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: threatening basically war with one another. What about the warships
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: coming right close to Hawaii and Guam on purpose because
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: we're weak. You go back to the former Secretary of
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: State Mike Pompeio, and his point is you cannot allow
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: a chairman of the Joints Chief Staff to basically go rogue,
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: to almost do a quiet coup against any president. And
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: that's what he pretty much did. This is a guy
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: that corroborated with China, undermining Donald Trump, the president, and
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: did it behind his back without telling him about it.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: Listen to the last part of what Mike Pompeo had
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: to say. For any military leader, certainly someone who's in
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: the role that the chief of staff is and you've
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: described great Jared described it too. He's just simply an advisor.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: He's not in the chain of command for operational activity.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: So would this would be dangerous and an usurpation of
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: authority that is historically anomalous, and we should make sure
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: that we as quickly as we can't figure out if
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: General Milly spoke to Woodward himself, we should find out
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: if General Milliy is prepared to testify, we can do
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: it tomorrow or the next day to get clarity about
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: what General Milly said. I don't know the deote's policy
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: Sean exactly on whether there would be a transcript of
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: this phone call, but I promise you there were note
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: takers in the room. I am very confident that conversation
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: could be reconstructed if if you had a senior military
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: leader who was simply an advisor tell the Chinese Communist
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: Party that they would get notice of an attack that
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: this rivals anything we've seen in our nation's history. Only
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: the President of the United States has the capacity to
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: make those decisions, and I'd be shocked if the then
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: acting Secretary Defense gave him any authority to even contemplate
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: that very conversation. It would only be those two people
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: that could have told General Milly to have that conversation
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: if in fact it took place. Let's go back by
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: the way to the White House. They're not denying General
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: Millie did any of this. They're not saying the reporting
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: is wrong, right, They're not saying that any of this
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: is wrong. You go back to the White House now
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: and you look at what the White House is saying,
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: and they're saying, this guy's amazing, this guy's incredible. We
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: love Millie. And I'm sure they do because Millie's their guy, right,
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: Millie's woke, Millie's a guy that they absolutely love. But
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: over and over and over again, the White House tells
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: you we love this man. He's a man of honor.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: I mean, we've got the talking points, right. The media
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: is going nuts at the White House. Presecretary asked him
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: questions about General Millie and as silent coup that he
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: was a part of when Donald Trump was the president,
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: and this is a guy that's helping our enemies out,
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: and what is every single time she's asked question about Millie,
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: legitimate question after legitimate question after legitimate question from the
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: media They just read you the same damn talking points.
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: They love Millie because Millie's their guy. Millie's a guy
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: that is helping make America week. Millie's a guy that
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: was willing to undermine Donald Trump. That's all they need
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: to know to give him the best job he's ever
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: had his life. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. Didn't get
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: any better than that. You undermine Trump. You went behind
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: Trump's back. Great, we'll hire you. We'd love to have you.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: You went outside the chine of command. You basically took
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: over the government in a de facto way and worked
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: with our adversary in back general talks, giving them secret information,
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: telling them that we would warn that you would warn
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: them if there was an attack. Yes, we'd love for
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: you to be the Joint Chief Chairman. In fact, we'll
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: go out on TV and we'll defend you at all costs.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: Because you hated Trump. You hated Trump. All you gotta
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: do is just keep doing your job. Keep doing it.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: We got you. Don't worry, Milly. We'll tell everybody how
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: great you are. I can sure you. All of is
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: that the President knows, General Milly. He has been Chairman
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: of the Joint Chiefs for almost eight months of his presidency,
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: they've worked side by side through a range of international events.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: And the President has complete confidence in his leadership, his patriotism,
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: and his fidelity to our Constitution. The President believes he's patriotic,
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: that he is, his fidelity to our Constitution is unquestionable,
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: and he has complete confidence. And the President's experience with
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: him is that he is a man of honor. He
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: is a man who's the President's confident in his leadership,
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: his patriotism, his fidelity to the Constitution, that he is
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: a patriot. He has somebody who is has fidelity to
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: the Constitution, and he has confidence in his leadership and
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: the role he has played in his experience with him.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: The President has complete confidence in his leadership, his patriotism,
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: and his fidelity to our Constitution. The Chairman of the
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: Joint Chiefs, any chairman of the Joint stee Chiefs, has
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: channels to communicate with China and Russia. That those are
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: meant to increase confidence, those are meant to prevent and
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: deter any any action that would be that would be unintended,
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: and that is a good thing. Again, one of the
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: points I have to bring up again, is the White
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: House is not denying any of this. They're basically admitting
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: to it. They're they're they're saying, well, it's normal, familiar
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: to do this, to talk to his counterparts. They're not
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: saying they didn't talk. They're not saying they didn't have
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: this conversation. They're trying to normalize what is referred to
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: as a treasonous act. Apparently on multiple occasions. This is
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: how you get a job with this in this White House, apparently, right,
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: this is how you get that job. You hate Donald Trump? Yes, okay,
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: you undermind Donald Trump. Yes, you're you're running a shadow
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: government in the last days of Trump's presidency for the
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: last three weeks. Yes, great, we would love to hire you.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: Come on down. You're our joint chiefs of Staff. You're
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: the guy. What happens if some of this comes out,
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: don't worry about it. We'll go on TV and say
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: over and over again, you're an honorable man. You're an
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: honorable man that we love. Is doing a great job
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: for America. Whatever's happening the rest of the world, we
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: don't care. Japan's Defenseminster draws red line and the island
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: dispute with China on the brink of a possible war.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: Don't worry about it. China sending their war their nuclear
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: war boats, whatever you want to call them. They're warships
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: right right by America, just to screw with us. See
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: what we'll do. Don't worry about it. Everything's fine. You
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: got rockets being shot off by North Koreas in South Korea.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: It's all good, right, all good. And stocks by the way,
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: if you want to know what the world thinks, what
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: America thinks. Yeah, stock market doing exactly what you would
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: expect in uncertain times dropping now if you notice day
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: after day after day, Dao's shedding points despite strong retail
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: sales because September had sluggish employment numbers because the private
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: sectors havn't compete with the United States government. And while
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: all this is happening, the worst headline of all we
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: now know just how bad it is for the people
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: we left behind in Afghanistan. US volunteers are now claiming
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: the Taliban is beheading boys between the ages of nine
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: and ten and Afghanistan. Former US Army officer he's part
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: of a volunteer rescue team seeking to save at risk
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: Americans and afghan allies still stuck in the Taliban conquered
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: country claim that the extremists have now beheaded two boys,
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: ages nine and ten in their reign of terror. An
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: Alabama resident, this man, who served in the eighty second
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: Airborne Division, joined a group of US veterans and other
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: civilians who worked for the African Rescue Crew, which is
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: trying to get Americans, Green cardholders and US allies out
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: of Afghanistan. According to this new report, he also says
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: he's disputing the State Department's characterization that there's only a
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: one hundred Americans left behind. Many have tried to get
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: the Pentagon, the State Department, the White House on the
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: record saying there's only one hundred. They say, we don't
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: know exact numbers. You want to know why they keep
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: saying that over and over again, because they know it's
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: a lie. They're trying to act like we got almost
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: everybody out, when in fact we didn't. He says, hundred. No, No,
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: Their group now figures it's closer to a thousand. The number,
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: by the way, might include Green card holders, whom the
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: State Department is listing in a separate category because their
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: lives apparently don't matter. The former officer, whose duties include
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: support work in Haiti and Bosnia, expressed her frustration with
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: a Biden administration's efforts in Afghanistan to get American and
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: US allies out. In many cases, quote, they've been called
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: her text by the Taliban with threats. They're moving from
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: place to place. Many of them are members of the
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: Afghan government. She described the case of an American child
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: as African uncle had been killed by the Taliban. We've
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: had people shot, beheaded, they're talking and they're taking the kids.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: If you're on the run and they find out where
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: your family is, they'll kill your family. They'll cut their
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: heads off. They'll put word out in the neighborhood. We've
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: got your brother, your son, your daughter. You don't come back.
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: They're beheaded. They cut off the heads of two boys
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: that were nine and ten, she told the magazine, which
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: said the description of the beheaded children could not be
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: independently verified, right, because let's not believe people on the
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: ground there. No, no no, let's not do that. Other outlets
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: are reporting now that Christians are being targeted in Afghanistan,
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: and said they've received phone calls from the Taliband promising
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: to behead them, and that a British politician said refugees
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: had told him the extremists forced people to watch their
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: relatives being beheaded just for being a Christian. They said.
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: The Taliban has been killing off Christians with alarming speed
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: in the country. We start out with three hundred three
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: weeks ago, we're down to fifty five they've been killed.
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: We had two young girls that were with Christian family
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: as the Christians had found them after their parents had
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: been killed. They were hiding together and then went to
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: the market try to get some food. The Taliban found them,
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: raped them, beat them. We did manage to get them
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: to a hospital. This is what we left behind in Afghanistan.
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: This is what the Americans are dealing with now because
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: we have a president and General Millie who said we
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: don't care about you. I hope everyone of you will
