With Heg Seth for months now. voice-verified

And if anyone pushes back against Hegseth and hurts his feelings, he starts he starts kicking him out. voice-verified

I mean, this is there's a huge number. voice-verified

I mean, we had Chris Donahue, the commander of US Army Europe, resigned. voice-verified

We had the biggest one was the Alvin Halsley, who was the Southcom commander, because he he resigned or he announced an extraordinarily early retirement, is what it was called, basically because he completely voice-verified

Disagreed with us murdering people in boats in the Southcom area of operations. voice-verified

So it it this this expertise um vacuum that we have, where we have generals that are really smart, it it translates to the Foreign Service as well. voice-verified

We have 98 vacant US ambassador positions out of 196. voice-verified

That's that's unprecedented. voice-verified

No one else in the history voice-verified

Of the presidency, maybe at the beginning of a presidency when they're doing the transition and people are kind of moving around, you'd see that. voice-verified

I mean, I guess nefarious ways that Trump wants to operate with these other countries, but also they he doesn't trust anyone. voice-verified

So it's a combination where we have this intellect vacuum, unfortunately, that is taking place at the top. voice-verified

And so this is why we see failed strategy after failed strategy. voice-verified

when it comes to Iran. voice-verified

And we're on now strategy number seven, I believe, out of the uh the last six all failed. voice-verified
