3:29Top military leaders in the United States and abroad are issuing warnings that Donald Trump
3:36is incapable of carrying out his duties as a commander -in -chief, that Donald Trump
3:42pose an imminent threat to the United States and to countries across the world.
3:48Top military leaders, admirals, generals, foreign military leaders are leaking to the press just how
3:57bad it has gotten and how they have to keep Donald Trump out of the
4:01situation room because his erratic behavior and temperament is just getting so bad that it
4:08will get many, many more people killed by him just even being in the room.
4:14There's Wall Street Journal articles like Behind Trump's Public Bravado on the War.
4:19He grapples with his own fears, talks about how he's running around the White House
4:25screaming, yelling, cursing, panicking, behaving like a lunatic, talking about how he's afraid he's going
4:32to lose, and then the next minute he's acting all tough, just really odd behavior.
4:37You've got reporting out about how low the morale is of members of our Navy.
4:44You've got leaks coming out about how Iran still maintains most of its ballistic missile
4:51and Shahi drone and FPV drone capabilities.
4:56You've got leaks coming out about the conditions aboard the USS Gerald Ford, which is
5:03close to 300 days at sea, surpassing the record for the longest deployed aircraft carrier
5:10since the end. of the Cold War.
5:13You have leaks coming out about how the U .S.
5:16Navy is now preparing to potentially board Iranian -linked sanctioned crude oil tankers and seize
5:24commercial ships within international waters, as we saw they purportedly did on Sunday.
5:30But the military generals, admirals, and other leaders were warning about this leaking information to
5:37the press about how that would lead to escalation and likely cause the war to
5:43really heat up yet again.
5:45You have leaks coming out about safety concerns and stress and the lack of planning
5:52and just what an absolute disaster things are within the military right now.
5:58We know, of course, that Donald Trump has fired the top military leaders, top generals,
6:07fired the top general in the United States Army, General Randy George, the chief of
6:13staff of the Army. And when our top military leaders were forced to testify before
6:19the House of Representatives at the end of last week and they were asked questions
6:23about these terminations, they were basically like, look, we don't have any answers.
6:29You'll have to ask Pete Hegseth.
6:31We're not sure why he did that.
6:33By the way, the fact that you had the Army Chief of Staff, Randy George,
6:38fired, that added to the fact that there were several other top officers, dozens over
6:44the past 12 to 18 months or 16 months or so.
6:49But you had the chairman of the Joint Chiefs, General C .Q.
6:52Brown, Jr. He recently spoke out against the Trump regime at Harvard.
6:56I showed you that interview that he gave at Harvard.
6:59You had Admiral Risa Franchetti, the chief of naval operations, who was the first woman
7:04in the role. You had General James Slyfe, the vice chief of staff of the
7:08Air Force. You had the top JAG lawyers who were fired.
7:13It's basically been a gutting of our top military leaders.
7:17And you all remember, too, when the Joint Staff social media account made a post
7:23basically extending their deepest gratitude to General Randy George, the chief of staff of the
7:29Army. And one of the reasons that he was purportedly fired is that he was
7:34promoting people based on merit.
7:36And it was alleged that Hegseth didn't want certain people who Hegseth said, oh, that
7:42must be because of diversity or DEI or, in my opinion, just very racist things.
7:47I'm just sharing with you.
7:48My opinion is why Hegseth didn't want certain people promoted.
7:51And General Randy George was fired as a result.
7:55And Randy George and his wife, Patty, they were institutions within the institution of the
8:02United States military. And so their terminations, his termination, and basically how George and Patty
8:10were treated has just pissed off the military to no end.
8:14And also, I think the military sees how weak Donald Trump is behaving in Iran.
8:19I think the military is like, make up your mind, man.
8:23We don't think that we should do ground invasions into Karg Island.
8:27We were warning you not to invade Iran in the first place.
8:30You didn't take our advice.
8:32Remember, there were all of those warnings going back to February.
8:35I mean, remember this article right here, where the chairman of the Joint Chiefs, General
8:40Dan Kane, chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Raisin Kane, as they call him, within the
8:45Defense Department. He warned everybody within defense, don't do this.
8:49This is going to be a disaster.
8:51The article was, Pentagon flags risks of major operation against Iran.
8:56The warnings have been led by General Dan Raisin Kane, chairman of the Joint Chiefs
9:01of Staff within the Defense Department during meetings of the National Security Council.
9:05But they're like, okay, you didn't take our advice.
9:08You did this invasion. So what are you going to do now?
9:10You're just going to keep on making social media posts.
9:13I mean, that's how you're going to do this war.
9:15You're going to put in all caps, we're going to destroy the civilization.
9:18That's war crimes, by the way.
9:20And don't get us involved in your war crimes.
9:23But what are you going to do?
9:24If you're going to go to war, go to war.
9:26I mean, that's what the military does.
9:29You want us to do it?
9:30There's going to be high casualties.
9:31Lots of soldiers are going to die.
9:33Is that what you want?
9:35Okay. You don't want that.
9:36So what are you going to scare Iran with mean words?
9:40And so the military generals and admirals are just like leaking to the press.
9:44This guy's got no plan and he needs to be kept as far away as
9:49possible from decision making. Just think about what a wild thing that is.
9:55I mean, it's the right outcome, but that's happening.
9:59And then all this stuff is being leaked to the press.
10:02As we wrote on the Midas Touch Network account, a stunning new report in the
10:07Wall Street Journal reveals that military advisors intentionally excluded Donald Trump from the command room
10:13during the recent high stakes operation to extract a downed U .S.
10:18airman in Iran because they feared his erratic behavior could jeopardize the mission.
10:23According to the Wall Street Journal, Trump was in such a volatile state after Iran
10:27shut down a U .S.
10:29jet that he spent hours screaming at aides in the West Wing, obsessing over the
10:33political fall and an invoking Jimmy Carter and the 1979 hostage crisis officials.
10:39made the call to limit his access, only briefing him at meaningful moments instead of
10:45giving him real -time control.
10:47Meanwhile, the operation itself nearly fell apart with aircraft struck in desert sand and U
10:53.S. forces scrambling to avoid Iranian detection.
10:56The airman was eventually rescued, but the chaos didn't end there.
11:00Just hours later, Trump woke up and fired off his profanity -laced threat online, warning
11:05Iran it would be left living in hell and he would destroy their civilization.
11:09I just want to be clear as well.
11:11That's how Wall Street Journal reports the mission itself with these two F -15E pilots.
11:16I've reported that I have a lot of questions about what really went down because
11:21why don't we know who these F -15E pilots are?
11:24They've never given their names.
11:26They've never spoken to the press.
11:28We've never seen photos of them.
11:31Also, where they were rescued was very close to the Iranian nuclear facilities.
11:37It seemed to me that it was possible that there was a broader mission being
11:42used, whether the F -15E pilots were shot down or not, whether that was part
11:46of a CIA operation, or whether the fact that they were shot down allowed a
11:50pretext for a special operations mission to take place in order to try to extract
11:55the uranium, which failed. I raised a lot of issues that I still have lots
11:59of questions there, and I think we should all have questions there.
12:02Also, in this damning Wall Street Journal piece, it talks about all of Trump's anxiety,
12:08how he has all of these threats and how he improvises things.
12:13He used insults as a tactic to bring Iranians to the negotiating table, screaming at
12:19aides, which it's not working at all.
12:21He wants to change subjects and talk about the ballroom and threatens war crimes, and
12:26it's miscalculation after miscalculation. And these generals, again, they're going to the press, and it's
12:33leaking like a fire hose right now at this point.
12:38Also, recent leaks, NPR reporting that cracks are forming inside the military, driven by low
12:44morale, ethical unease, and a growing number of service members choosing to retire early, declining
12:50to re -enlist or walking away from their contracts, regardless of the consequences.
12:55The GI rights hotline has seen call volume more than double since the Iran war
13:00began. The majority of callers are asking about conscientious objections, being forced to commit war
13:08crimes, and they don't want to do it.
13:10Then there was the leaks of the food that our service members were being given
13:16aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln and the USS Tripoli.
13:20You can see right here, they're basically being given poor, low -quality food.
13:26I mean, just look at what you're even seeing right here.
13:29It doesn't even look edible.
13:30You know, it's like three little pieces of things, I guess.
13:34And then the leak came out that families were not able to even send their
13:40loved ones, their service members, aboard the ship food, while our service members had very
13:46low morale and, like, weren't able to eat the food that they, you know, that
13:51they needed. You know what's easier than fixing a problem?
13:54Not having the problem in the first place.
13:56Your liver is one of those organs that you don't think about until you have
13:59to. Supporting it daily is one of those small things that can make a huge
14:02difference in how you feel overall, and that's where Dose comes in.
14:05Dose for your liver is a clinically -backed liver health supplement.
14:08This isn't just another capsule or powder.
14:11Dose is a liquid supplement.
14:12It's taken in a daily two -ounce shot, and it tastes like fresh -squeezed orange
14:16juice. Here's why it matters.
14:17Your liver is your body's filter.
14:19It processes everything you consume and handles over 500 -plus daily functions.
14:24Energy production, digestion, fat metabolism, vitamin storage.
14:27When your liver is overworked, you feel it.
14:30Dose helps cleanse the liver of unwanted stressors that may be slowing your liver down,
14:34and it promotes daily liver function so that your liver can do its job.
14:39Zero sugar, zero junk, zero calories.
14:42And when you take Dose daily, you're going to reduce sluggishness, get rid of those
14:46midday crashes, support your metabolism, and even aid your daily digestion.
14:51Plus, this is the real deal.
14:53There are two double -blind placebo -controlled studies showing Dose's positive impact on liver enzyme
14:59levels. Are you ready to give your liver the support it deserves?

15:23Let me bring you into Capitol Hill right now, where we had our top military
15:28current officers being asked questions by members of Congress, like, why was General George fired?
15:34And watch as they basically say, we don't know.
15:37I mean, it's a exit thing.
15:39Here, play this clip. I've read all of the news reports about why he was
15:42dismissed, but I would like to hear from you.
15:46Why was General George dismissed?
15:50Sure, that's a question for Secretary Hegseth.
15:53I've been the vice for a couple months now.
15:56We honored the service of General George and his wife and generals that were dismissed.
16:01Well, thank you for that.
16:02I would like for Secretary Hegseth to answer the reason of why they were dismissed.
16:07And I think that the way General George and his wife Patty were treated will
16:13have a chilling effect on the way our services operate in the future.
16:21Prior to this, the Secretary of Defense removed four Army officers from the 07 list
16:28before their nomination left the DOD.
16:30Is that correct? Sir, I think the list is still moving forward.
16:36I mean, our process, the process, has been followed through.
16:41The Army provided the list to the Secretary's word's office, and it has gone forward.
16:46Whether those officers have been split from the list, you know, higher, I'm not sure
16:52at this time. There's civilian oversight of the processor, as you know.
16:56There's multiple checks as it goes.
16:59And, you know, as it goes from the White House to the Senate, there's opportunities
17:05for multiple reasons for officers.
17:07Let me respect that because I'm on a time clock here, but my understanding is
17:12that somewhere around 3 % of colonels are selected to move forward to become general
17:22officers. Is that number at least approximately accurate?
17:25Yes, sir. Approximately accurate. So, of all of the colonels out there, they're selected by
17:30their peers and by their board.
17:32It's narrowed down to about 3 % of the colonels that actually move forward to
17:35become a general officer. Yes, sir.
17:38And the reporting is that Secretary Hagseth pulled, individually pulled, four names from that list.
17:47I'm less worried about the race and the gender than if he did or he
17:50didn't do it. Did he pull four names from the list as has been reported?
17:53Sure. You'd have to ask Secretary Hagseth that.
17:56Okay. I've been the vice for a couple months.
17:59Well, if I could get anybody over there to respond, I would ask him, and
18:03I appreciate that. But I would say this, but I would like to know why
18:06those four, if those four names were removed from the list, I would like to
18:09know why they were removed from the list.
18:11There may be a legitimate reason.
18:15Let me get to why this is important.
18:18The military expects us officers to provide truthful and honest advice versus being yes men
18:25to their leadership chain. Is that correct, gentlemen?
18:28Would all of you generals agree with me with that statement?
18:31Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
18:33Yes, sir. If our top general officers are removed without justification from their positions for
18:41providing honest, objective advice, which is something that I always knew General George to give,
18:47then I fear that it's going to have a trickle -down effect that's going to
18:50be devastating to the other officers, and especially how their spouses feel about continuing to
19:01spend their lives in service.
19:03This is a team sport.
19:06The officer and the spouse are in this together.
19:09And I think that General George and his wife, Patty, I think they were very
19:13unfairly treated. And I would appreciate if the Secretary of Defense would be forthcoming with
19:18whether or not four names were removed from the list.
19:20I'm less concerned about race and gender than I am why they were removed from
19:24the list. And if he has individually changed the way we're going to handle the
19:29promotion and the selection and promotion of our general officers in the military.
19:34And what about our strategic readiness here?
19:37Let's play this clip right here.
19:39General Laniv, the Army is deploying high -demand systems like air defense systems across multiple
19:45theaters. Are these the same systems we would rely on in a large -scale conflict?
19:52Yes, ma 'am. All right.
19:53And what risk does that create for our ability to respond to a second contingency?
20:00Ma 'am, you know, my role as the vice is to man, train, equip, and
20:07certify, and to build the force that COCOM commanders will utilize.
20:12We're supporting Admiral Cooper and team.
20:16If we have to surge to another location, then we'll have to look at how
20:22we balance that to be able to provide the resources necessary.
20:25I appreciate the question. Now, former commander of the U .S.
20:30Army Europe, General Ben Hodges is also calling out the fact that we have like
20:36Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff doing these negotiations who don't know what the hell they're
20:40doing. Like, why do we have them doing anything right now?
20:44Here, play this clip. When the diplomats you have working negotiations are not professional diplomats.
20:49I mean, it was his son -in -law and his real estate friend.
20:53That's, you know, this is where mistakes happen.
20:56And then also, if you surround yourself with the sycophantic cabinet officials, particularly like Mr.
21:03Hexeth, the Secretary of Defense, they're never going to push back on the president.
21:10And then, as I mentioned, you have, internationally, you have, you know, generals in other
21:16countries like Canada's general, one of their top military leaders, calling out the United States
21:23here. Let's play this clip for you.
21:26I, like, we need to understand that, like, post -Cold War, we were asked to
21:34do different. types of missions.
21:36So militaries equip and structure themselves to respond to specific types of missions.
21:46So we were most of the time asked to do missions in like in an
21:54expeditionary fashion, in a very specific theater of operation, within limited objectives.
22:02So then you organize, structure, equip yourself to be, to deliver this type of mission.
22:11But the world has changed, as you mentioned, and we, you know, we live it
22:16on a daily basis. We're now looking at the Ukraine's lessons learned, Russian behavior, and,
22:28you know, other of their, you know, collaborators.
22:36So we have to get ready for large scale conflicts, more conventional.
22:42So we need a different, different military to do that and different capabilities.
22:49And then you have the former NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg.
22:55He's also previously leader in Norway.
22:58Here's what he has to say.
23:00Here, play this clip. Investing significantly more in defense.
23:03Some European allies, like Poland, the Baltic countries, in my own country, Norway, we're actually
23:08now spending a larger share of our economy, our GDP, on defense than the United
23:14States. So this has changed.
23:16And it's not only about resources, but also about geography.
23:20My country, Norway, is bordering Russia.
23:23Just on the other side of our land border, we see the highest concentration of
23:28nuclear weapons in the world, missiles, submarines, bombers.
23:31And these weapons are not directed at Norway.
23:34They are directed at the United States.
23:37But Norway helps the U .S.
23:39to monitor, to track the submarines, to share intelligence, and to give you early warning
23:44and to tell exactly what the Russians are doing.
23:47This is part of the U .S.
23:48homeland defense provided by a NATO ally, Norway.
23:52And there are many other similar examples.
23:55So the U .S. is safer with a strong NATO.
23:58And therefore, I expect and believe that the U .S.
24:01will continue to be committed to NATO.
24:02So there you have it, folks.
24:04Let me know what you think about all of this.
24:05But, you know, I think the military is recognizing that the commander -in -chief is
24:11no commander -in -chief. I mean, obviously.
24:14Obviously. I mean, it's like, is the sky blue?
24:18Although Donald Trump would tell you the sky is orange.
24:21It's orange. It's orange. It's orange.
