00:00:00.000 What I'm saying about the senior military leadership is the following.
00:00:03.940 How many senior officers who knew, who knew by 1967, 68, that our position in Vietnam
00:00:10.920 was hopeless and that the smartest thing we could do is to cut our losses and get out.
00:00:16.280 How many of them actually stood up and said, I'm going to have to tender my resignation,
00:00:21.360 Mr. President.
00:00:22.600 I can't go along.
00:00:23.860 I've come this far.
00:00:24.760 I can't go any further.
00:00:26.280 None.
00:00:27.380 Nobody.
00:00:29.020 You know?
00:00:30.000 This is the problem.
00:00:31.560 This was the problem at Nuremberg.
00:00:35.200 You know, sure, many of these generals in the German military were brilliant men, and the question came up, why didn't you say no?
00:00:41.820 Well, the fear was, well, I could be shot.
00:00:44.760 Well, what happened to Germany and your obligation to the German people and to civilization? 0.96
00:00:50.140 The same thing is true now. 0.92
00:00:51.600 What about your obligation to the American people?
00:00:54.900 Where do you really stand, and whom do you serve?
00:00:57.420 The president is a temporary occupant of the White House
00:01:00.700 The Constitution is enduring, or supposed to be
00:01:03.800 So the bottom line is
00:01:05.800 How much do you believe that is in the media?
00:01:09.340 I don't know
00:01:09.940 I don't know the answer to that question
00:01:11.220 I'm simply saying
00:01:12.220 This man may not be as impressive as he thinks he is
00:01:16.320 Or others do
00:01:16.880 I'm talking about this general
00:01:18.040 But I don't think the man deserves to be prosecuted as a criminal
00:01:21.660 I think that's outrageous nonsense
00:01:23.440 Well, this is the problem, right?
00:01:25.160 When everybody's lying about everything constantly and when you when you can't even judge on the basis of rationality, as you point out, sending troops on the ground to try to take these islands would be a suicide mission.
00:01:35.460 But so was going to war with Iran in the first place. 0.90
00:01:38.460 And they did that. 0.97
00:01:39.280 So you can't even say, well, this is just ridiculous. 0.91
00:01:41.860 They would never do this. 0.87
00:01:42.660 They do ridiculous things, which is why we're looking at all of these sort of signals and just trying to piece together what's actually happening right here.
00:01:50.140 Well, I would add one thing, if I can interrupt very briefly. Remember that this man, Cain, had been a three-star in the Air Force, was retired, and he was working as an advisor on a hedge fund in New York City that belonged to one of Kushner's brothers or something.
00:02:06.600 So, gosh, go figure.
00:02:09.980 He then comes out of retirement. They make him a four-star. And do you think that he was made a four-star so that he could present opposition to a war with Iran?
00:02:20.140 No, he was made a four star because he was told, you know, this is what we want to do. Can you go along with this? Can you support it? And this is not the first time. And as an airman, every Air Force officer thinks that the Air Force can win everything without anybody else. I mean, frankly, that's the sort of mantra in air power. It's ridiculous. It's destructive. It's wrong.
00:02:41.300 But in his heart of hearts, I'm sure he believed that
00:02:44.100 So here you go
00:02:44.980 He gets in there and what does he do?
00:02:46.840 He says, we're going to go for it
00:02:48.080 Now, here's this man, Sylvia
00:02:50.600 And I guess he's an army officer
00:02:52.500 And he looks at this from a very different perspective 0.99
00:02:55.880 And says, this is a very dumb idea 1.00
00:02:57.660 He'll get lots of people killed 1.00
00:02:59.240 I don't see any easy way forward 0.58
00:03:01.080 I think we should probably cut our losses and get out
00:03:03.820 I imagine he probably said something like that
00:03:06.380 Ultimately, he was going to be attacked by Hegseth
00:03:10.820 You know, Hankseth has this very sort of boyish way about him, full of energy and enthusiasm.
00:03:17.620 He's a cheerleader.
00:03:19.400 That's not what your job is as Secretary of Defense.
00:03:22.900 Your job there is a very serious-minded, sober one.
00:03:27.000 And you don't spend your time in front of the media popularizing your position as a Fox News host, you know.
00:03:34.440 It's a mess.
