00:02:13.960 human events daily today is may 27th 2024 anno domini we live in a world right now where it seems as

00:02:23.320 though things are spiraling out of control and you go back 20 years ago or almost 25 years ago now

00:02:32.360 to the events of 9 11 and in many ways and i i say this as a you know gen y

00:02:40.440 i remember the 90s as a time of the outpouring of great celebrations and fun and people were making

00:02:51.960 money great economy everything seemed booming the future of humanity and the future of america seemed

00:02:58.920 to be written literally in the stars we had spaceships and somewhere along the line 9 11 happens and that

00:03:09.000 bubble just bursts and you get to a situation where suddenly troops are deploying the u.s military is

00:03:19.160 getting involved around the world wars are kicking off and that dream that dream of going to the stars that

00:03:27.640 dream of colonizing the galaxy was just lost was completely lost and instead

00:03:36.600 we were told that we have to focus on the military we have to focus on the here and now we have to focus on

00:03:45.240 these issues the issues of world politics geopolitics and we didn't realize

00:03:51.240 the instability that started that day would continue and continue escalate and escalate and

00:03:58.600 somewhere along the line that fighting force on september 11 2001

00:04:09.160 and the thousands of americans that have died since who we remember today

00:04:14.120 who joined the thousands of americans who died in all of our prior wars

00:04:18.200 somewhere along the way we decided to turn our military into a social incubator for trans ideas

00:04:29.720 and woke ideas and we started to use the military as the world police

00:04:34.600 we're the world police in the middle east we're the world police in asia we're the world police in

00:04:39.160 eurasia is this what's best for our force no and that's why along the way you've seen america's best

00:04:48.600 and brightest and our not just our military age males but our fighting able males fighting capable

00:04:57.160 males the type of people that would go on to make excellent soldiers and marines and seals and rangers 0.99

00:05:04.200 they stopped joining said i don't want to be associated with that outfit that up it's a joke

00:05:09.960 that's where you go to go die in a sandbox somewhere in some country you can't even pronounce

00:05:14.760 in a place that no one in your family has ever even heard of

00:05:19.800 and so the u.s military has degraded and the status of the force is not where it should be

00:05:30.360 could you imagine if 9 11 happened today the fighting force we have would not be able to

00:05:38.600 respond and i'm not saying that america's response was good i'm saying we wouldn't even be able to

00:05:44.360 attempt any of those things no china russia please it's a joke so today we are going to discuss

00:05:54.440 this very situation and the way forward for president trump when he wins this november

00:06:00.680 how to fix the u.s military are going to be joined by general michael flynn and senate colonel

00:06:07.160 tony shaper stay tuned human events daily world day

00:06:31.400 every single day of the week today you know they talk about influences these are influences and uh

00:06:38.200 they're friends of mine jack so like where's jack jack he's got a great job

00:06:44.920 jack so we're back here human events daily our memorial day special very honored to have once

00:06:53.160 again on the program general michael t flynn general flynn by the way i know the last time

00:06:58.040 i had you on i said i would i promised you i'd watch the documentary i have since seen it

00:07:02.520 congratulations that's fantastic obviously a very emotional piece but um i i can see why it's having

00:07:09.240 the success that it has tell me um what what's it like actually having a story out there like that

00:07:15.080 well it's a very intimate look it is a remarkable uh story of survival actually uh for my family and i

00:07:24.440 so it's it's great it's very humbling the feedback and the response we've been getting as i have uh

00:07:30.760 you know as i recently traveled around the country so um i'm honored my family and i uh feel blessed

00:07:38.360 that we have the strength of our family that we do have and uh and i do believe that if people see this

00:07:45.080 film they'll see something uh in it of themselves because the assault on me and my family was really

00:07:51.640 an assault on all of america and many americans are going through it right now so um i i do hope that

00:07:58.120 more and more people get out there to see it uh and yeah and i think that they're going to have the

00:08:02.200 same response that many uh that frankly thousands of americans have already had well general that actually

00:08:09.640 dovetails into today's theme because as we're talking about memorial day talking about the day

00:08:15.000 for those who have made the ultimate sacrifice the question that comes to my mind is that what's

00:08:21.800 happened to these institutions that have been entrusted with the lives of these soldiers we always

00:08:28.520 say you know there's that line when you sign up and join um you know you're writing a blank check

00:08:33.800 that's payable up to and including your entire life i'm sure you've heard that a million times

00:08:38.840 and so the question is what's gone wrong with the institutions that we've entrusted with that sacred

00:08:44.920 right yeah so one of the key words that you just used or a portion of one of the words you just used

00:08:51.800 is trust and i think right now we and i know this i know this in spades because i've been around this

00:08:58.360 country many times in the last number of years and people come up to me all the time moms dads a lot of

00:09:05.000 times moms and young men and young women who are contemplating serving in the in the military

00:09:11.160 there there is a lack of trust and i think that probably the the one of the greatest national

00:09:17.400 security uh threats that we can face in this country is when there is a breakdown of trust between

00:09:24.520 those who we need to serve in our armed forces and and the and the and the moms and dads principally

00:09:31.320 where we have to get these young men and young women from right this trust between the citizenry

00:09:37.880 of our country and and those that are serving in our military and i want our those those that listen

00:09:44.280 to this the the leadership of our military that today's leadership and i'm not talking about the

00:09:49.880 the civilian of you know political appointed people i'm talking about the uniform

00:09:54.520 military at the senior levels that the chairmen's the chiefs of staff the various people that are

00:10:01.160 in the you know running our services in uniform they need to understand that that type of of of

00:10:08.440 trait that we we hold so dear is trust trust is essential on the battlefield to be able to have an

00:10:14.840 effective unit trust is essential you know when we're making critical decisions about the types of

00:10:20.920 forces that we're going to deploy but the most important element is the element of trust that uh that we

00:10:27.480 must have in uh you know between the those that we are trying to get in to come into our military

00:10:33.880 and those where we're taking them from right the the families of america who are going to give up their

00:10:38.680 sons and daughters where they sign on that dotted line and you know to potentially give their lives for

00:10:45.320 this nation and the cause of freedom right that that idea of trust is such an important thing

00:10:51.480 and sadly sadly that it looks like the united states navy and the united states army are going

00:10:57.080 to both miss their recruiting goals as we go into the latter part of this uh this this year this

00:11:03.240 military year through the end of september you know this that's the way the government tracks their year

00:11:08.120 so by end of september it looks like the navy's not going to make it looks like the army's not going

00:11:12.600 to make it the downstream effect of that lack of recruiting actually hurts the training it hurts the

00:11:19.720 readiness it hurts the the preparation of future forces right the downstream effect of this lack

00:11:27.160 of trust this inability to be able to build up the kind of strength the what we call the foxhole

00:11:33.000 strength of our armed forces it really does impact on our ability to be able to to withstand some of

00:11:39.880 the potential foes that we are going to face that we are facing now around the world and it also doesn't

00:11:45.880 allow us to be this very innovative force that we need to be where we can where we can apply different

00:11:52.920 ideas in different in you know ingenious ways that we actually conduct operations but you can only

00:11:59.080 conduct those operations those types of major regional conflicts or these limited uh regional uh

00:12:05.880 engagements that we find ourselves involved in in places like central america or the caribbean or places

00:12:11.480 like east africa middle east central asia uh possibly in in east asia in a place like taiwan straits or

00:12:19.160 korea i mean all of these these geographic places are are safe only when the united states military is

00:12:27.560 strong and ready and prepared and and is at a fighting strength that is sustainable over a long period of time

00:12:36.840 and a single factor that i look for in our ability to be able to do all these things is trust that that

00:12:44.280 bond between those in the military and those we need to come in the military and the moms and dads

00:12:50.600 principally the moms and dads who are still you know producing these these brave young well uh american

00:12:56.520 patriots right so that's really to me that's that's something that i i i i i try to when i talk to

00:13:03.560 people uh jack i talk to moms and dads i talk to young people because it kills me to not be able

00:13:08.440 to say you know when they come to me and say hey i'm thinking about joining the navy or the army right

00:13:12.840 it kills me to say i don't know you know i don't do that what i do is i ask them what is it that they're

00:13:18.760 expecting what is it that they want to do and i do tell them i do tell them that you know hopefully

00:13:25.800 on the horizon on the near term horizon coming this november we can re-establish this bond we can

00:13:31.560 re-establish the right type of leadership that we need because frankly i do think that our

00:13:35.480 leadership at the highest levels in our military uniform and certainly the political appointees

00:13:40.120 are failing our country right now they're failing the men and women in uniform

00:13:45.160 and general one of the things that i've been hearing a lot lately too is and this is something i've never

00:13:50.680 heard in the history of the united states military families are starting to tell their sons and

00:13:56.920 daughters to not join talk to me about the importance of military families because this 0.58

00:14:01.240 really is the backbone of our fighting forces yeah so and and so sometimes we call that legacy the

00:14:08.280 legacy of a family legacy service service and you know i mean and i'll go back i mean both my

00:14:13.240 grandfather served in world war one uh one of my grandfathers served in world war one and world war

00:14:17.880 two my father served in world war two and korea i had a brother that served during vietnam uh you know

00:14:23.720 i have a son that's serving i have a brother who's still serving um i mean so so you know the flynn

00:14:30.360 family is a family of legacy of service to country in uniform and and what is happening is people that

00:14:38.760 served like in the korean or the certainly the vietnam war who have children that are coming of age

00:14:44.680 even the people that served in the early days of the uh the war on terror you know their their children

00:14:50.360 are now coming of age to serve and they're starting to say i don't you know i don't i'm not sure i want

00:14:55.880 you to serve in the military because of what we are seeing coming out of the you know the decisions

00:15:01.720 that we're seeing coming out of our military leadership where they're force feeding things

00:15:06.120 like sorry but critical race theory social emotional learning this whole notion of diversity equity

00:15:12.760 and inclusivity you know and jack you know this from serving on on uh ships at sea there's no safe

00:15:19.000 spaces on a ship when a ship in fact i've been on i've served on ships before in my time in joint

00:15:24.360 operations you know there's no safe spaces they're teaching this kind of stuff at the navy academy

00:15:29.000 they're teaching it at at the west point for the for the uh for those future army officers about safe

00:15:34.280 spaces when they when they feel threatened by their by their instructors or they feel you know like

00:15:38.840 they need to take a break from the problems of the day i mean when uh when there is a fire at sea

00:15:44.760 on board a united states naval warship there's there's no safe space everybody it's all hands

00:15:50.360 on deck everybody's moving at the speed of light to to put that fire out and to save lives on the

00:15:55.960 battlefield it's the same thing it is the exact same thing when you know there's no safe space that

00:16:01.080 you can go to if you're behind a wall being shot at by some enemy who's trying to kill you they don't

00:16:06.440 think about diversity they're not thinking about inclusivity or critical race theory they're thinking

00:16:11.640 about killing you and they're thinking about protecting whatever it is that they're trying

00:16:15.640 to protect so one of the things that we've got to rebuild back into our military is we got to build a

00:16:22.120 couple of things and these are really get to the values of our of our armed forces number one is

00:16:26.280 leadership i already mentioned trust i would say the whole idea about duty the sense of duty the sense

00:16:33.240 of honor of service to nation the sense of country and and loving one's country instead of

00:16:39.240 instead of you know trying to build in this whole craziness about you know racial justice inside of

00:16:45.000 this this social experiment that they're that we that we feel like the military is being uh you know

00:16:51.400 through the ringer taken through the ring around i mean the the battlefield there there is no atheist

00:16:57.320 in a foxhole is what my father used to say you know a european theater a world war ii veteran and

00:17:02.440 and he and then he went and served over two years in the korean conflict and he was a tough guy

00:17:06.600 and now there's no atheist in a foxhole and i experienced that myself in my many years of

00:17:11.480 deployments overseas in combat so we have a we have a a or we have a need to return to a set of

00:17:20.280 values and in fact what i would say is our our military and our services even though we want to

00:17:26.120 maintain the different cultures in our services because of their war fighting uh abilities and what

00:17:31.560 we expect out of them i think what we're going to need to do is return to some type of of set of

00:17:37.000 values that we all accept and those values they clearly have to do with trust they clearly have to

00:17:42.840 do with readiness they clearly have to do with leadership they clearly have to do with courage and honor

00:17:48.760 and sense of duty and to me uh the the idea of excellence excellence in uh whatever it is that you're

00:17:56.920 trying to achieve standards in the military every exactly i'm just going to say every single thing

00:18:03.560 in the military has a quick break go ahead jack quick break quick break right here but we're going

00:18:08.600 to come right back on this because this is what americans need to hear to re-establish this bond

00:18:15.400 the sacred bond between the people and the military from that when i grew up in the hood i rolled with

00:18:24.440 bloods and them boys had a saying you can't be listening to all that slappy whack trimatozala it's a 1.00

00:18:31.080 bam ship nippy bam bam like human events with jack posobic 0.98

00:18:37.800 Jeff so we're back here memorial day special human events daily we're on with general michael t

00:18:41.960 flynn general flynn i want to ask you a question that might be a little controversial but you're

00:18:47.240 you're no stranger to controversy you're happy to take the hard questions as we know

00:18:52.840 during and this is my analysis during the obama administration it seemed like so much

00:18:58.120 of the flag core president company excluded of course was promoted and put into position because

00:19:05.080 they agreed with a certain set of ideals or a certain set of values at the time we didn't really

00:19:10.440 have a word for it you might call it woke now or at least was willing to go along with it james o'keefe

00:19:15.720 had a video recently where they were talking about this and it was a recruiter but it was similar you

00:19:21.560 know the guy was saying oh we have to say this stuff if you want to get ahead you have to go along with

00:19:26.600 this stuff if you want to get ahead and my question is though for the people who are the true believers

00:19:33.400 in our flag core currently in the military and this is something where even when trump was in he

00:19:38.920 couldn't really move against them what do you do with that flag core that's out there that really 0.62

00:19:44.280 are true believers in this progressive agenda yeah so number one everybody works for the president of

00:19:51.400 the united states he is the commander in chief so i i do believe that uh and under the obama

00:19:56.360 administration there was clearly uh the the group that was sort of on the end and then there was the

00:20:01.320 group that was on the out and i you know i found myself in that latter group this this next

00:20:06.440 administration under donald j trump he is going to have to do a cleansing at the top and i mean from

00:20:12.520 the chairman the service chiefs uh and it possibly goes down even further and in fact it i know that

00:20:18.760 it will have to particularly in in some really critical uh commands that are out there we cannot have

00:20:25.560 uh the the type of you know some cases three-star but mostly four-star leaders uh that are that are that

00:20:32.760 have bought into this this uh this divert this dei concept i mean we've always been a diverse force

00:20:40.600 you know there there's there's equity in the military and has always been equity in the military

00:20:45.400 it's called maintaining a standard or achieving or exceeding the standard so you know there's always

00:20:51.080 been a very very fair system you know it's a it's its own government if you will and so the president

00:20:57.320 of the united states of america is going to have to do a deep cleansing of the leadership at the top

00:21:02.120 the rank and file in our country the rank and file i will tell you the rank and file is still

00:21:07.320 you know very much uh focused on why they initially why they came in now when i say the rank and file

00:21:13.800 i'm talking about you know our young officers our young enlisted uh our mid-grade sergeants sergeants

00:21:19.880 first class chiefs chief petty officers you know our majors you know are some of our battalion commanders

00:21:27.080 but there's going to have to be sort of a a a retraining period too and the and the retraining

00:21:33.560 period after you've done the cleansing when i say cleansing i mean i'm talking about retiring many of

00:21:38.600 these people right away like like no more we'll just let them get to their two-year term or their

00:21:43.560 four-year term no they have got to be told thank you for your service you're done and and have them

00:21:49.640 immediately uh so just just mass mass retirement you're not gonna hire a bunch of i'm sorry so

00:21:59.560 just mass retirement for a lot of these guys yeah i mean when you say mass that seems like a bigger

00:22:05.160 number and it's going to have to be there's going to have to be a selective retirement certainly the

00:22:10.680 other thing i think people need to understand is that we have uh you know we have one of the smallest

00:22:16.040 militaries we've ever had right now and they're definitely the most it's the most uh untrained

00:22:21.720 and unprepared military that we've had in a long long time untrained for the for the major regional

00:22:27.080 conflicts or the potential world war that we you know we'll find ourselves a physical world war that

00:22:32.120 we could find ourselves in we're not not ready to do that and so one of the things that has to happen

00:22:37.720 is there got to be a return to war fighting there has to be a return to leading and leading from the

00:22:43.960 front there has to be a return to readiness and and a and a high standard that's not just a standard

00:22:50.920 of knowing how to you know use your weapon system and and and and run an organization but it's it's a

00:22:57.160 moral high ground too we have to return our military back to a moral high ground which i think that we've

00:23:02.920 lost i think we've lost it because we have just like what's happening in the country right now this this

00:23:09.000 this this uh divisiveness that we all feel that is happening to our society that type of divisiveness

00:23:16.360 is happening inside of our military the people don't know it most americans don't see it those

00:23:21.160 that are really you know those that are inside they can feel it because there's a there is a just like

00:23:26.360 what's happening on the on uh you know around our country society you know in our society where there's

00:23:32.280 this racial tension in the military they're bringing that type of attitude to our military

00:23:38.440 we cannot have that there has to be one standard i don't care whether you're purple with pink polka

00:23:43.400 dots if you can meet that standard and you're ready to go to war and you're trained you know you're you're

00:23:48.760 you're focused you can achieve the standard then then you know then you're going to be okay so so this

00:23:55.720 back to this question of the leadership the leadership at the top is going to have to be changed out

00:24:01.240 there that is clear to me i mean if we're not meeting the recruitment goals and and there's

00:24:07.400 some other there are some others not just the four stars it's it's there are some other three-star

00:24:12.440 commanders out there that are in positions where they're just they're not meeting it because they're

00:24:17.560 not leading they're not they're not forcing back up right you got to force back up and meaning up the

00:24:23.560 chain of command you've got to say hey look you know we're not going to be able to do this if we're

00:24:28.120 going to have this kind of attitude coming out of the civilian leadership and it doesn't mean that

00:24:33.480 that that we got to uh disavow what our civilian leaders are telling us absolutely not just the

00:24:38.360 reverse but we as general officers as admirals generals flag officers you've got to be prepared

00:24:44.680 to throw your stars down and tell your civilian leadership look we are broken as a military and unless

00:24:51.400 we fix it i can no longer serve yeah they might have they might be they may be legal orders that

00:24:57.320 you're getting but if they're orders that you say to yourself look at this is going to ruin the

00:25:00.920 institution of the military then it's time for you to go and and you can't hang around and pretend like

00:25:06.760 well i can fix it if i just stay longer no you're part of the problem so the so the the um the president

00:25:14.440 of the united states the commander-in-chief is going to have to take a really hard look at whoever the

00:25:18.440 the secretary of defense is and then that secretary of defense is going to have to look at with with

00:25:23.320 the uh the the uh the support of the president is going to have to take a look at the leadership

00:25:28.280 at the top reconnecting to the to the american people and re-establishing that trust and that bond

00:25:34.680 and then also bringing bringing in a set of values into our military that that all of us are that these

00:25:42.840 sort of universal set of values duty honor country courage leadership ethics you know sort of the

00:25:50.200 the morality that we need this idea of of you know we are we are all in this together and there is a

00:25:57.320 brotherhood or a sisterhood or what you will that that exists inside of the the formations of all of

00:26:03.640 our units you know we we talk about we talk about things like uh foxhole strength or or battlefield

00:26:11.560 innovation or um or i would just call it you know the i don't know it's like the ability to juggle

00:26:17.800 multiple balls right in our in our leadership and and we want that from our troops as well so many of

00:26:24.680 these things we are incapable of doing right now because we have leadership that is so afraid of their own

00:26:31.480 shadows because they're afraid if they're not force-feeding critical race theory down to the

00:26:36.760 down to the foxhole level and they're going to be you know booted out well then you're not in the

00:26:41.320 right profession this is a profession of war fighting this is a profession of war right so we have a warrior

00:26:47.800 and code a warrior mentality and i mean you're you're you're sounding all the right the right terms

00:26:54.280 number one first and foremost the the purpose of the military is to hurt people and break stuff

00:26:58.600 in the defense of our nation and so the quite i guess here's my next question i know we only have

00:27:03.240 you for a couple more minutes on the program when we say that phrase in the defense of our nation

00:27:09.880 it feels like so many of the things that we're currently doing aren't in the defense of our nation

00:27:13.800 they're in defense of some uh political interest or some economic interest and yet we see our border

00:27:20.200 that's completely wide open general would would you be supportive of what president trump has talked

00:27:24.520 about in taking military action regarding these cartels operating across our border

00:27:30.120 yes and i would even go further jack we need to designate the the drug cartels as foreign terrorist

00:27:36.280 organizations and we need to use military forces and military application to destroy them

00:27:41.640 and i mean destroy them and i would have no problems positioning military forces along our border u.s

00:27:48.280 active military forces along our border to go in and just and you know once these organizations are

00:27:53.800 designated as foreign terrorist organizations because that's what they are they are caught they

00:27:57.800 are killing people in this country i mean fentanyl alone is close to 200 000 killed in action in just

00:28:03.640 the last year jack so absolutely and you know the last thing on this that i'd say on this you know

00:28:08.760 beautiful memorial day weekend and i appreciate you running uh uh you know you running this this uh this this

00:28:15.320 this testimony to our armed forces and to the men and women serving on this very important weekend

00:28:21.640 and frankly we ought to we you ought to cherish them every single day uh we we have still in our

00:28:28.840 country we still have that you know keep men and women young men and women who are willing to give

00:28:34.440 their lives for the cause of freedom i know that because i speak to many of them what they are wary of

00:28:41.640 they're wary of joining an armed forces where they cannot uh do the kinds of things that they have

00:28:48.200 that they have seen they have read about that things we that they're like we talked about earlier

00:28:52.840 the legacy of their of their uncles their their fathers and what they have talked about in terms

00:28:58.360 of service to country and what they've seen in service to country and in a variety of of ways

00:29:03.800 we want that attitude back i want that attitude back the only way that we're going to get that

00:29:08.200 attitude back you know here on this memorial day and with the new administration under president

00:29:12.360 donald j trump is by re-establishing that bond of trust between those we want to serve and those who

00:29:18.680 are serving and those where we need to get that that uh that body of strength from meaning the moms 1.00

00:29:24.520 and dads principally the moms and dads but also these days joe or jack it's also uh it's also from

00:29:31.000 the grandmas and grandpas and the uncles and and and again those who have have had a legacy of

00:29:37.000 service in uniform to our country in the past going back at least as far as let's say the korean

00:29:42.360 war although we still have a few world war ii vets with us but certainly the korean war the vietnam

00:29:47.800 war we want people to come in last thing jack is that and this is this is about attitude we have to

00:29:55.880 develop a winning attitude in our armed forces no more participating in these endless wars and that's

00:30:02.040 why uh and that was and as i as i talked about as you highlighted early on the movie one of the

00:30:08.200 things i talked about with donald j trump early on was the idea of winning and getting out of these

00:30:13.000 endless wars and ending them right ending them on our turn specific objective a definite goal

00:30:19.400 we have to bring a winning god bless you back to this thank you final word to our armed forces so

00:30:26.280 you know on this memorial day let's let's get that winning attitude back let's take that idea

00:30:31.400 of winning back and we can do that and we can do it on our terms we go we win we come home we keep

00:30:39.480 america safe and on this world day weekend make sure you go see flynn you're looking for a movie to go

00:31:09.080 about the fake news and the bad but we have guys and these are the guys should be getting

00:31:13.720 publicity all right jack so we're back here human events daily folks there's a lot to be nervous

00:31:20.520 out about there open up social media or turn on the news and all you see is crime societal decay a

00:31:25.960 lot of people just run out and buy a gun and then it sits in a safe so if there's ever an emergency

00:31:30.280 they're not going to be prepared and they run the risk of hurting themselves or others there's no way

00:32:10.440 letter i targetpro.com itargetpro.com promo code poso our next guest here very honored to have on as

00:32:17.320 always lieutenant colonel tony schaefer tony something we're just talking about here with general flynn

00:32:22.680 was this idea that our military our military force right now is not inspiring anyone to join and the

00:32:31.640 idea of using 9 11 again and again like i keep hearing from the flag corps the 18 year old of today

00:32:38.760 so so people turning 18 in 2024 were born in 2006. that means 9 11 to them is something that happened

00:32:48.680 five years before they were born now i'm not saying it hasn't affected them i'm not saying

00:32:53.240 it doesn't have resonance but it's fundamentally different than it was before you can't just

00:32:59.080 automatically get people to join and i think a lot of people say when you see things like the fall of

00:33:03.480 kabul we see things like this absolute debacle in uh in ukraine and the bloodlands of eurasia people are

00:33:11.480 saying why would i want to get involved with a organization like that so tony my question is

00:33:18.920 if and when trump gets in in november come 2025 how do we set about righting the ship

00:33:26.120 well you do it two ways jack thanks for having me for this i appreciate the opportunity to speak on

00:33:30.360 this topic um you do it two ways first um you've got to cut out the cancer which is dci um one of the

00:33:38.200 things that's pervasive and i i talk to people all the time who see it on the inside oh by the way jack

00:33:43.720 if if you so chose now if you wanted to you know get back in you wanted to become a girl just saying

00:33:50.600 that would be an incentive i am not joking about i am not remotely joking about that that is something

00:33:57.320 that they're doing and if you're a guy and you want to yeah i'll run it by my wife i'm sure it'll go

00:34:01.880 real well anyway but that's my point and then that happens and you're and you know what happened you're 0.96

00:34:07.720 not deployable you know um transgenderism is a mental uh the mental issue and you cut on people 1.00

00:34:15.160 and give them drugs that they have to take every day or else they revert back to their prior form

00:34:19.960 they're not deployable that person becomes a permanent ward department of defense it's a form

00:34:24.920 of welfare that that's not that's not raising recruiting numbers i don't i'm sorry jack a lot

00:34:29.720 of people aren't wanting to change genders join the military i think that so it's got to go it's

00:34:34.440 not working it's not a good strategy so you got to get rid of all that next and mike flint said this

00:34:40.440 too we got to get back to the point of where we have attitude of patriotism of turn for our republic

00:34:49.640 for what it is and what the founding fathers wanted it to be and then the idea that we're serving

00:34:54.600 something greater than ourselves this whole idea of joining the military to be all you can be

00:35:00.280 yeah not so much i mean i know the army use that as a saying be all you can be but i think the part

00:35:06.440 two of that is be all you can be in service to something greater than yourself god and country

00:35:11.560 we need to get that back into the mix and then as a as a tension of that winning mike said this i agree

00:35:17.560 with him over the time of my military career i served 31 and a half years there were very few leaders who

00:35:24.360 who actually exemplified winning better than storm and norman schwarzkoff general schwarzkoff

00:35:30.280 was the graduation speaker when i went to the farm uh that up there's my class picture

00:35:36.760 at the farm we have that was our class symbolism the uh of roger thornhill running in the movie

00:35:43.720 north by northwest that was our symbol anyway up for and that was a great hitchcockian 1.00

00:35:48.360 fly movie anyway my point being jack is that the idea of winning and the united states national

00:35:58.200 security policy have been distant relatives if not uh divorced for a long time we got to return

00:36:05.560 the idea of looting entanglements with some level of the victory of our choosing not someone else i think

00:36:12.840 trump's going to do that because i think he's pretty fed up with being victimized both at the

00:36:17.640 international and domestic level but those are the things get rid of dei change the attitude uh

00:36:24.600 regarding the military eliminate officers who don't get the memo that they don't understand your job is

00:36:29.960 to serve the republic serve the people and fire them if need be i i think that would be a good thing

00:36:35.720 and then get back to doing the basic things as you said also killing people and breaking things on call

00:36:40.920 that's the military's job not to be a social petri dish allowing everybody to feel good about

00:36:46.120 whatever malady may write them down well in in addition to the social engineering aspect

00:36:54.040 can we talk a little bit i'd love to pick your brain as well about the u.s military's involvement

00:36:58.760 in seemingly all of these conflicts everywhere in the world we're involved in everyone's dirty business

00:37:05.000 other than our own right right uh you could find i don't think you could find i don't think it'd be

00:37:10.520 very hard to do recruiting if you had a president up there who says we're going after the cartels i'm

00:37:16.040 sick of the fentanyl i'm sick of what they've done let's go we're going to do this you would have

00:37:20.520 volunteers like like actually for if people remember the uh the mexican-american war we had tons of

00:37:25.400 volunteers said the hunt down for santa anna all this people volunteered to go and do that

00:37:30.200 during the cold war i um i turned 18 in 1980 and um and just in time for the for the reagan

00:37:38.440 presidential election and i proudly voted for reagan because reagan was bringing patriotism

00:37:45.080 and the idea of winning back remember we just come out of well you don't remember because you

00:37:48.600 weren't there but i remember we had just come out of we well i was there but i'm not not old enough to

00:37:54.040 remember it i remember it and so my point being is that reagan struck the very chord you're talking

00:38:00.600 about the idea that we are going to have a purpose we're going to do things we're going to take on the

00:38:05.240 evil empire and do something and by the way as you know studying history you weren't there but you study

00:38:10.360 history people were upset with reagan it's like oh my how how dare you challenge the the convention of

00:38:17.240 the wisdom of all the professional bureaucracies like no uh my philosophy is uh they lose we win

00:38:24.200 that's it so we need to get back to that and yeah to your point regarding cartels regarding terrorists

00:38:29.080 regarding all that stuff trump needs to to tap into that inherent patriotism which still exists within

00:38:37.320 the midwest within those who love the country and ignore convention that is to say like reagan did

00:38:44.120 or all the nervous nelly's oh this is going to upset the card of apples with the soviets

00:38:50.120 maybe but maybe it'll destabilize and so uh another thing too i'll say this and be very direct about

00:38:55.880 it reagan never sought war with russia soviet much as they were an evil empire it led with other things

00:39:02.680 the idea was to defeat them without having to actually fire a bullet or or jeopardize blood and

00:39:08.600 treasure we need to get back to that attitude let's just find a way to win even if it's unconventional

00:39:14.440 and here's and here's my question as well is when when reagan was facing the soviet union that was

00:39:20.520 a clearly divine target with a clearly defined strategic intent clearly defined outcome clearly

00:39:28.280 defined ending right nowadays people say and i'm just going to say it and and i know i know you've

00:39:34.840 heard this before people will say so the united states took four presidents 20 plus years and how many

00:39:43.640 deaths to replace the taliban with the taliban like yeah what what was the point of all that and that

00:39:52.360 doesn't inspire confidence when you have an organization that has not done anything to the united states in

00:40:00.120 over two plus decades it becomes very hard to sell that to people but if you come over and say look

00:40:07.640 we've got these cartels on our border the same way that thomas jefferson had the barbary pirates to deal

00:40:13.400 with when he became our president and launched uh one of america's first overseas conflicts and said we

00:40:19.480 are going to go and do something about that i think if our government and our military were able to

00:40:25.400 articulate these things then people would actually start going back in again and i think that this is

00:40:31.160 a huge disconnect because you'll get these people up there that look like rachel levine saying you need

00:40:36.680 to serve america because of our glorious democracy and our diversity and our and like what this doesn't

00:40:44.200 speak to the type of people that want to join the military all right yeah maybe the peace corps or maybe

00:40:49.000 you know people looking for government jobs but it does not speak to the people who want to go and

00:40:54.760 fight and more importantly make the enemy bleed in order to protect their homeland stay tuned folks

00:41:01.400 be right back lieutenant colonel tony schaefer memorial day special this case is a joke

00:41:10.440 ashton kutcher is going to the top and left to tell us that we've been pumped

00:41:21.160 jackson back live memorial day human events daily with on with lieutenant colonel tony schaefer so tony

00:41:27.400 i'd love to pick your brain on this this idea and get your thoughts on if the american people if you

00:41:34.200 go i'm speaking specifically to young men because you know let's let's not be woke we're gonna throw

00:41:39.640 woke out here for a second the people that do the majority of the war fighting not just in the united

00:41:45.240 states today but throughout all of human recorded history have been young males okay this is your war

00:41:54.120 force and the fact of the matter is that it's predominantly young white males that the military

00:42:00.360 is not recruiting anymore or not even trying to recruit um actually funny enough um there was a

00:42:06.920 there was a joke going around on twitter that said you know how the military is preparing preparing for

00:42:11.320 war because they change the actors in the recruitment ads to young white males um so in order to go after

00:42:17.480 this group then you have to have a clearly defined target they're not just going to want to jump in

00:42:25.080 and go after when they can see things like afghanistan they can see things uh that don't inspire any

00:42:31.320 confidence whatsoever or even any any trust that our leadership has their interests at heart what can

00:42:38.360 trump and the next administration do to fix this well as i mentioned before we i there's some of the

00:42:46.680 recommendations i make to fix the military the first thing you have to do if you take power

00:42:53.640 is effectively pick deputy i would argue outside of mike flynn and a handful of others trump didn't

00:42:59.080 do a good job of that last time so i think i'd like to believe the president's learned his lesson

00:43:03.800 the the first thing that that trump has to do and i think other mike and others like myself will be

00:43:08.200 there to advise you got to take out the first three levels of leadership the people who are

00:43:14.520 currently in charge jack are supporting the very adverse and and negative and and failing uh policies

00:43:22.200 that you and i are discussing they're not going to change they're not going to change back the way it

00:43:26.920 was before you need to get rid of them because they are essentially you're not going to you're not going to

00:43:30.680 re-educate and deprogram and no no no they came through the obama biden system so they're there

00:43:36.840 they yes they belong to that be done with it move them on uh general said a uh a a cleansing of early

00:43:45.080 retirement offers and and i've i saw the reduction of force in the early 90s we can do it again again a

00:43:52.600 lot of us jack have been i've seen this movie before we know how to play the role we just have to be

00:43:56.920 given the script and allowed to go do it so well here's here's my if if i can get we have a couple

00:44:02.600 minutes left sure but but here's what i specifically want to ask you so we know that america and and you

00:44:08.600 and i talk about this on the regular you know day-to-day when we're chopping up about the news

00:44:13.400 about what's going on in the middle east or what's going on in asia or what's going on

00:44:18.760 in uh predominantly in eastern uh ukraine we say what's america's strategic strategic national

00:44:25.880 interest in these areas and should we have military involvement and it never really seems to be that

00:44:30.760 these are military moves uh many of these cases can be solved diplomatically they could be solved

00:44:35.880 economically uh or or just face-to-face meetings with presidents as as president trump had uh famously

00:44:42.920 employed when you see the military though and the use of the military for uh kinetic operations as we now

00:44:50.680 call them right actual combat operations what do you see on the board do you see anything i mean obviously

00:44:56.360 the cartels are number one should that become the new focus of a new american military the the key is

00:45:05.880 is deterrence and i let me be as clear as i can be one of the things about the reagan buildup

00:45:13.240 and let me tell you a little secret the intent was never to use it jack it's like

00:45:17.640 to prepare a military that is so uh enormous you've i'm sure you've seen the movie the hunt for red

00:45:24.040 october right the the tom clancy novel have i seen that has the navy guy seen hunt for red october come on

00:45:30.200 tom clancy was you're asking the squid tom clancy was coached by the u.s navy planners you know what

00:45:37.560 i'm talking about to have certain things embedded in that story so that was the intention was to show

00:45:44.040 the russians clancy had clearance throughout his entire career it wasn't just hunker in october he had

00:45:49.800 he had full clearance um the cia used to bring him in and they used to use those novels to talk to him

00:45:56.840 yeah send their little signals is that we were able to not only having a military force that's 0.99

00:46:03.960 mighty is to make them believe that we'd kick their ass if they did anything that's the beauty of it 0.52

00:46:09.080 so we need to get back to that because the perception of of of might is more effective than 0.99

00:46:15.000 just having might and reagan brought it trump can bring it that's where we have to go with this to

00:46:20.360 re-establish a credible deterrent system that that is like the belief is you do something you're going to

00:46:26.440 be crushed otherwise we want to be your best friend we don't want to get involved in your stuff

00:46:30.760 we want to be there to be helpful if things become difficult so that's what we should go back to i

00:46:35.160 think it worked with reagan i'm a reagan guy i espouse this idea and i think i think trump would

00:46:40.520 be another guy that would want to do the same thing well of course and and this is you know this

00:46:46.360 is clear we want the strongest military possible right want to have the best military on the planet we

00:46:52.760 ought to and we certainly have the best pool for it the question though is and this is why you get

00:46:57.880 people like i mean you people we get we get a lot we'll have to have another conversation about what

00:47:02.520 russia is doing with their new uh minister of defense and shifting into this massive economic

00:47:08.040 i mean they're turning putin's turned on the war economy over there turning on the war industry all

00:47:11.640 they never they never what do we do framework for yeah they never did and what and what do we do we we

00:47:17.800 we uh we complain about it we whine about it we write strongly worded letters and we claim that

00:47:24.040 that is actual deterrence no it turns out that it isn't so the arsenal of freedom needs to be actually

00:47:30.680 arsenalized but here's my my my biggest point though is if you tell people that they have a specific

00:47:37.800 target that is an actual threat to the united states and that you need to go and fight i i truly believe

00:47:45.880 that the young men of this country would still be willing to do so last minute what say you tony

00:47:51.080 shaver so the the cartels and the elements that are subordinated or linked to it are a clear and

00:47:58.840 present danger it's just like the movie clear and present danger you had the cartels right on the

00:48:02.760 southwest border another clancy reference i'm sensing a pattern tony yeah yeah you are and then yeah and

00:48:08.680 he had a lot of good ideas just saying based on the relationship he had with the pentagon but there's

00:48:14.280 reasons why jack we need to examine and map mexico as an adversary oh by the way not tom clancy related

00:48:21.080 the guy named blackjack pershing actually led a next uh a uh an expedition a punitive expedition

00:48:27.960 into mexico wasn't a bad idea at the time and i think it's something we need to look at again because

00:48:32.600 we do have enemies our center colon tony shafer where can people go and follow you and get

00:48:38.600 connected to all your coordinates project sentinel.com and obviously just look for me on twitter with you
