Excuse me.
I'm having a pretty hard time believing that a four star admiral said, you know, what all Hans Gruber here and said, hit it again, unless he was doing so in accordance with an order from the secretary of defense.
Right.
Possibly innocent human beings, too, which I want to emphasize, even if these guys were drug dealers, even if everything that the Trump administration said was true and these guys had boats and they were full of fentanyl and they were, you know, hoping to get to from 1,400 miles away, they were hoping to get to some port near the United States.
You still can't kill them.
You cannot just execute them at sea.
It doesn't work that way.
But yeah, the original sin in all this are these people are completely unqualified, all of them, almost every appointee in this administration.
It was chosen for loyalty and telegenic ability.
Trump lives his life.
Everything in Donald Trump's world is mediated through a screen.
So when he sees you on TV, if you look the part, you get the part.
As I've said many times, the part of the fanatical loyalty these people show is because he has given them positions that...
On no planet would they ever get without their loyalty to Donald Trump.
That's why I call him, and I think I did it on your show once, I always call Donald Trump the patron saint of the third string.
That this is the guy who takes somebody that could never qualify and says, you're the new Secretary of Defense.
And so, of course, you know, Hegseth, it was bad enough that he was in way over his head.
And of course, all of them are arrogant because they think the only person to answer to is the president.
So they don't listen to their advisors.
They don't listen to people around them.
