- New footage from Tel Aviv is shown, including videos outside windows of what sources say they are seeing, with a claim that Fox News is not covering this damage in Tel Aviv. The discussion centers on the reality of buildings being hit near City Hall, and questions why it isn’t being widely covered by Fox News. - The conversation shifts to missile stocks and interceptors. A comment references Keith Kellogg on Fox News discussing a Wall Street Journal report about running out of interceptor missiles within four to five weeks, and a claim that there is no problem because orders were placed and allies could supply missiles. The speaker notes that UAE reportedly has about a week left of interceptor missiles and says missiles from Iran are getting through “like a sieve.” - It is argued that the U.S. has a limited stockpile because many missiles have been transferred to Israel and Ukraine over the past years, leaving the U.S. inventory low. The claim is made that continuing the war with depleted missiles would heighten national security risk and vulnerability globally. - The transcript discusses potential international responses. The speaker contends that Europe’s mobilization rhetoric (France, Greece) should not be expected to deter Iran, noting that Greece does not have a major army and that NATO-funded contingents are involved rather than independent power. The assertion is made that Iran’s strikes in Tel Aviv, Tehran, Qom, and other cities show that Iran believes it can strike back effectively, signaling a preference to fight the United States and Israel rather than submit again. - The central point is that the conflict is described as 100% about missiles and air-defense missiles, not ground forces. The speaker argues Iran likely has enough offensive missiles to prolong the conflict for months, possibly longer than U.S. capacity to sustain it, especially with Hormuz potentially shut or partially shut, which could hurt the western economy. - Admiral James Stavridis is cited by Speaker 0, noting that as the U.S. and Israel expend hundreds of precision weapons, the focus should shift to logistics and stockpiles. The discussion emphasizes the need for inventory clarity, planning, and alignment between political objectives and military capabilities. - Speaker 1 asserts that the planning should have assessed inventories, timeframes, and whether the means match the objectives. The argument states that risking all resources without sufficient offensive or defensive capacity is a dangerous gamble, suggesting the current course could be a “huge blunder.” - The conversation touches on General Dan Kane, who reportedly told the president two weeks earlier that there were not enough ammunition and it would not be pretty to win. A reference is made to Trump’s Truth Social claiming Kane’s assessment was incorrect, with talk of whether Kane did or did not say the president’s characterization was accurate. The claim is made that there are concerns about integrity and whether senior leaders would publicly contradict the administration’s framing if necessary. - A follow-up question is raised about whether admitting a ground invasion would imply insufficient missiles to sustain the mission, with Speaker 1 acknowledging that admitting ground troops would signal a lack of missiles for sustained action. - The segment then shifts to a sponsorship note about depression treatment options, promoting Ataybekli and its lead program BPL-003 (a nasal spray psychedelic-based therapy) developed for treatment-resistant depression, with background on the company, its investors, and the roadmap toward Phase 3 in 2026. It emphasizes the potential for faster, more scalable treatment sessions and invites viewers to learn more at a website, with disclaimers about not providing medical or financial advice.

I understand the concerns about potential national security nominees. When considering nominees for roles like Secretary of Defense or DNI, I will prioritize their character and willingness to speak truth to power, even when it's uncomfortable. I will approach each nominee with an open mind, conduct thorough background checks, and assess their understanding of the enormous responsibility the role requires. I'm concerned that some potential nominees may value foreign leadership over American leadership. The US should maintain its leadership role in the world. Finally, to win elections we need to focus on pocketbook issues and kitchen table economics rather than obsessing over identity politics.

Is there confidence in the Pentagon's leadership after recent failures like the Afghanistan pullout and incidents involving spy balloons? The current insiders have not been held accountable for these issues. Pete Hegseth deserves a chance; he has 20 years of military service, two bronze stars, and an education from Princeton and Harvard. Critics say he’s not the typical Washington choice, but the American people have rejected the usual picks. While civilian leadership made decisions, the military executed them, leading to disastrous outcomes. With a new president, there’s hope for change by appointing non-insiders. Hegseth, as a veteran advocate, must prove his capability in the role, but he should be given an opportunity to succeed.

The weak strategic leadership of the 25-year-old staffers in the White House over the past four years is concerning. Lloyd Austin's performance is disappointing, and former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Mark Milley, should be recalled to active duty and court-martialed for his actions in Afghanistan.

Secretary Austin, are you confident in President Biden's mental capacity? Why are military members being discharged for not getting vaccinated while Hamas supporters like Aaron Bushnell are allowed to stay?

It's concerning how recent actions undermine military honor, accountability, and discipline. When a president intervenes in decisions about military qualifications, it disrupts the chain of command and the effectiveness of the military. While the president has the authority to make military decisions, exercising that right can create confusion and chaos within the ranks. Notably, Gallagher's own SEAL teammates reported him, highlighting the seriousness of the situation. Additionally, appearing on television while on active duty raises questions about maintaining the chain of command.

How many genders are there? Two. What is the diameter of an M4A1 rifle round? It's 5.56. How many push-ups can you do? I did 5 sets of 47 this morning. What's the most important strategic base? Guam is significant. How many rounds fit in an M4 magazine? Standard is 30. What does the M9 Beretta fire? A 9 millimeter. What batteries for night vision goggles? Duracell. Your qualifications show you understand the battlefield. Decisions made here can lead to the deaths of young Americans, often from lower middle-income families. When they join the military, they do so for various reasons, and when mistakes happen, they don’t come home. My priority is ensuring you support the warfighters. That’s what matters most to me, and you have my support despite the process.

It's concerning how recent actions dishonor the military, creating chaos and undermining accountability and discipline. The president's involvement in decisions about military qualifications disrupts the chain of command. While the president has the authority as commander in chief, exercising that power in this way can cause confusion and disrespect for the military. Notably, Gallagher's SEAL teammates reported him, highlighting that the concerns came from those who served alongside him, not from distant officials. Additionally, appearing on television while on active duty raises questions about adherence to the chain of command.

Donald Trump’s cabinet nominee, Pete Hegseth, received a standing ovation from veterans at his hearing, despite some protests. Hegseth emphasized that military matters should remain nonpartisan and expressed a need for change in leadership at the Pentagon. He defended his qualifications and experience, highlighting his work with veterans' organizations and legislative successes. Throughout the hearing, he maintained his composure against aggressive questioning from Democrats, who attempted to undermine his character. Hegseth argued for accountability in military leadership and criticized the current bureaucratic structure. He concluded by expressing his love for the country and dedication to supporting warfighters, emphasizing that his commitment goes beyond his media persona.

General Milley believes that documents should be shared with Congress and that General Donahue and Admiral Vaesley should testify. Transparency is important as Congress acts as the board of directors for the American government. The speaker then quotes lyrics from the song "Beyond the Sea." Translation: General Milley supports sharing documents with Congress and having General Donahue and Admiral Vaesley testify. Transparency is key as Congress serves as the board of directors for the American government. The speaker then quotes lyrics from the song "Beyond the Sea."

Representative questions General Matlock about after years of the army wrongly telling over 10,000 soldiers that someone having a pro life license plate might make them a terrorist, was anybody fired, suspended, or demoted? The official replies that "the chain of command is the responsible agent for adverse actions or, personnel actions" and won't comment on actions. He adds that "the chain of command took immediate upon receiving the report of the poorly developed training materials." The Representative argues 'eight years might be immediate' and demands to know "what the consequence was" and says if the consequence isn't public, it doesn't deter. He cites a perceived DOD-wide pattern of Christian policy/scripture-aligned actions being demonized, including Navy vaccine exceptions and Marine Corps Bible verse disciplinary action. He asks about 2017 Chief of Staff Milley and warns of withholding funding until answers are provided.

The speaker emphasizes that to understand the situation, we should consider what Jack Keane is saying. We have one aircraft carrier strike group, plus land-based air power and a lot of air defense missiles on the ground, and a lot of air power there, but there are no ground troops. Don Rumsfeld had about 300,000 total ground troops at his disposal, and we went in on the ground and defeated the regime in about a month. There was a profound amount of air power, much more air power than exists in The Gulf right now, and altogether there was a lot more air power then, yet we still underestimated them. We defeated them militarily in about a month, but then an insurgency rose up afterward because you can’t kill everybody, which is what happened. Jack Keane, Dan Raisin Cain, and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff—the man Trump has talked about—are highlighted as significant military leaders. The question is how many ground troops does he have available? Nada. And you are talking about destroying the civilian and military leadership the way Don Rumsfeld successfully did. He did...

The speaker asks for insights into the Pentagon, referencing reports of a "meltdown" and concerns about seriousness within the organization. The interviewee responds that people are bothered by a lack of seriousness, citing "signal gate" as an example of amateurish behavior. The interviewee states that the Pentagon claimed the information shared wasn't classified, but it was. The interviewee believes the real problem is that "they knew it was" and still wanted people to believe them. The interviewee emphasizes the seriousness of the Pentagon's mission to defend the nation, requiring all of America's capabilities. The interviewee states that the Pentagon is now locked in an argument about DEI.

President Biden wanted the speaker to be the last person in the room for big decisions, as he was for President Obama. The speaker confirmed they were the last person in the room for the Afghanistan decision. They also stated they feel comfortable with that.

Speaker 0 argues that military leadership requires accountability, and a hypothetical regular officer would be terminated for similar actions. Speaker 1 counters that Republicans aren't interested in lectures on military accountability after the Biden administration, claiming the bar for firing a Secretary of Defense is high, even after incidents involving casualties and going AWOL. Speaker 0 states that excusing the behavior is unacceptable. Speaker 1 clarifies that a mistake was made in communications, but operationally, things were handled correctly. Speaker 0 questions why free traffic isn't restored around the Red Sea. Speaker 1 asks why the Houthis are running wild and accuses the previous administration of using the right devices to talk about secrets, while Speaker 0 says the rebels are still harassing ships.

Following reports that Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Mark Milley secretly contacted a Chinese general to warn them of potential US action, Doug McGregor stated that he is not shocked, but wants to hear Milley's side of the story. McGregor emphasizes that the chairman of the joint chiefs has no authority over operational forces and should coordinate with the President, National Security Advisor, and Secretary of State before making foreign policy statements. If the claims are true, Milley violated the law and should be questioned under oath by Congress. McGregor notes that the President cannot independently launch a nuclear weapon; there is a consultative process. If Milley strongly disagreed with President Trump, he should have resigned. McGregor also points out Milley's previous communications with Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer, reassuring them he was in control at the Pentagon. McGregor believes the American people are not represented in Washington, and President Trump was not inclined to launch a nuclear strike.

I reject your question about why I would expect an underqualified retired lieutenant general to be the next chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Next question please.

The speaker states that military matters should not be approached politically, but that Mark Milley has become a political animal. The speaker claims they would have fired Milley immediately if they had known he spoke with the Chinese in January 2020, assuring them that the U.S. military was under control. The speaker says Milley never informed them about these conversations. The speaker concludes that Milley, along with someone else, should have left after Afghanistan.

A representative questioned General Matlock about the army wrongly telling over 10,000 soldiers that a pro-life license plate could indicate terrorism. The representative asked if anyone was fired, suspended, or demoted as a result. General Matlock stated that personnel actions are the responsibility of the chain of command and did not comment on specific actions taken. The representative expressed dissatisfaction with the response, noting the issue persisted for years. They suggested the Department of Defense demonizes those expressing Christian faith, citing instances in the Navy and Marine Corps. The representative asked who was Chief of Staff of the Army in 2017 when the issue emerged, and was told it was General Milley. The representative stated that the army's lack of transparency regarding consequences undermines deterrence and contributes to recruitment challenges. They called for answers and suggested withholding funds from the Army until the information is provided.
