Proven quality sleep is life, changing sleep, Brian all right, president, Brian all right, President Biden, reportedly taking secret measures, reverse some of president trumps policies overseas, eliminating the number of get this counterterrorism. Drone strikes outside of battlefield zones like Afghanistan and Syria, but after trumps, success in the Middle EAST. Is this really the right move? If we see a terrorist somewhere else, should we not take our shot here to react? Is retired, four STAR General Fox NEWS, senior strategic, an a just general Jack Keane General? Do you like this pairing back and the narrowing of drone strikes? No, it doesnt make any sense. You know. President Biden made a huge philosophical statement that America is back and what this appears to be. America is back to obamas policy here, because Obama controlled air strikes out of the White House and thats. Just a known fact.

I reviewed the Washington journals. I reviewed for the Wall Street Journal Secretary Goetzs Book and he really came on strong about the Obama administration Meddl Ing in military, tactical and operational issues. So here we are again so what is actually driving this its the guarantee that Obama tried to impose and now Biden is trying to impose of no civilian casualties and the issue is guaranteed. What that means is centralized control then, and layering of approval of strikes up the chain of command with lawyers at each level. So for our viewers to understand, we got to target the people on the ground and the people looking at. It confirm Ed as an executable target questions, an Al Qaeda organization, but now its got to go up to the chain of command and what happens is this takes hours and weve got drones, doing circles in the sky and what happens we lose the target.

This happened time and time again for command is very frustrated. What Trump came in and said, look theres, no such thing as guaranteeing no civilian casualties lets have a policy of reasonably ensuring that theres, no civilians that are going to be hurt here, its impossible to guarantee it and that led to the over centralization, and that was a policy certainly supported by a tactical commanders, and it gave them the authority to make the judgments themselves. They are very experienced. They know how to do this and do it. Brian, in concert with american values. People out there are not going to intentionally hurt civilians on the battlefield, Brian, not in america- and I will say this: he was chairman of foreign relations. He should know better, remember Ben Rhodes, telling generals what to do in Afghanistan and thats what Goet Z wrote about and lets Tatake a number of? U dot. S drone

strikes that spiked in twenty nineteen. We were using these effectively in the past and use this in a way that doesnt put our people in danger, but yet takes the enemy off the battlefield and lets talk about that. Our base has been rocketed twice over the last few weeks and we answered a few days ago and youre, seeing some of that with a strike into Syria, one of the Malitia but theres a story out today that up until the last second Joe Biden had President Biden had two sites picked out. He backed off one when reports had a spotting of a woman and a child in an open courtyard was that the right move. Well, that was recommended bisect of Defense Austin they had the targets, and now civilians in the presence of the air strike were not going to pull the trigger when thats going on the only time we would pull a trigger under those circumstances where civilians are in danger, close, so to speak. If our ground troops were being adversely

affected by military forces in the area, then we would have accepted the degree of risk to that, but this was likely the right call. I dont question that call Brian, so theres were in the nomination season and we see the confirmation season in some cases outside, and we have another controversial nominee so to speak. Hes, a top Pentagon policy planner going for this position. His name is Collin Cowl and he has a few tweets. Hes got to explain for himself that have been written about guys that you know well. For example, one of the tweets from Collin March of twenty seventeen, even Mattis cant get his people in place without and GOP are a clown show dont like government and are incapable of running one, and he writes in October the GOP used to pride themself as a party that puts values front and center in U Dot S and foreign policy and now now debates themselves as the Party of Trump and now in May, two thousand and nineteen, every Republican, senator, upheld trumps. Veto now shares ownership of the worlds

worst humanitarian crisis and Saudi Arabia trying to pushback on the rebel whose are on their doorstep and sponsored and supported by IRAN. What would you, how would you vote general? Well, I dont get into the politics of this thing, but here is what I will say. I think it serves the country better when we pick people who are going to go into policy formulation, particularly in the Department of Defense and the National Security Council, where were doing a very complicated issue who dont have a deep, partisan and passionate past for those partisan attributes that you just described. I mean Trump nominated a person like this as well and couldnt get it through the Republican, controlled Senate confirmation process. So I think its a mistake to nominate somebody like this. There are plenty of people that

are out there that dont share those kind of partisan views. The Secretary of state, for example, Tony Blinken, Jake Sullivan, the National Security advisor they dont have those kind of deep partisan views and they disagree with Trump policy for sure, and they have a difference as to what they are going to do with foreign policy and national security and thats to be expected in a democratic administration. But lets stay away from this partisan stuff, which I think just pollutes the political environment and corrupts good decision making based on policy and fact based analysis, Brian theres, a huge downside. This used to be overheard, maybe they are having a beer and someone might be in the next booth now its on public display forever, and you have to realize. If you want a political future, you might have to pay for that, and maybe he will general good point great points as usual, thanks so much yeah good talking to you.
