Belle of the Ranch 0:01

Well, howdy there internet people it spell again. So today we're going to talk about Trump, Heg Seth, boats, buses, and where it goes from here. When it comes to Trump's campaign down south, it's about boats, but the wheels on the bus go round and round. In days, the party line surrounding the september second strike with the follow on strike. has gone from it's fake news to a race to distance themselves. The Potomac 2 step has started, and now we're going to have to wait and see who's left without a seat when the music stops. It started with Trump saying he wouldn't have wanted a second strike on the boat. Quote.

How does Trump’s stance on a second strike influence the discussion about boats and buses?

Belle of the Ranch 0:47

No. I wouldn't have wanted that. Not a second strike. The first strike was very lethal. It was fine. And if there were two people around,

What did Hegseth say about watching the strike live and how does it affect the narrative?

Belle of the Ranch 0:57

But Pete said that didn't happen. I have great confidence in him. This is Trump trying to remove himself from the chain of command. And say he would have done it differently. He dropped Hexass name. So what did Hegseth, who said he watched the strike live have to say? Quote. Let's make one thing crystal clear.

Why does the host defend Admiral Mitch Bradley and what are the implications of his combat decisions?

Belle of the Ranch 1:22

Admiral Mitch Bradley is an American hero, a true professional, and has my one hundred percent support. I stand by him in the combat decisions he has made on the september second mission and all others since. America is fortunate to have such men protecting us. When this Department of War says we have the back of our warriors, we mean it. Got it. Hexeth didn't give the order. Admiral Bradley dead. Those were the combat decisions he made.

What is the significance of Admiral Alvin Halsey’s resignation and the tension with Hegseth?

Belle of the Ranch 1:56

You see this, right? I've never seen somebody push somebody under the bus while saying we've got your back quite like this before. When we were talking about troops disobeying unlawful orders, I said you don't know the meaning of the term blue falcon until you're watching flag rank officers cover for each other at the expense of Lieutenant Nevermet. It looks like the lieutenant never met him in this case, is shaping up to be an admiral. On october sixteenth, I recapped Trump's Venezuela posture and operations and said I've seen this one. It ends with Jack Ryan testifying before Congress. But Bradley may not be the admiral who Congress is going to want to talk to. On the second channel on the Roads Not Taken episode on october nineteenth,

I mentioned the resignation of Admiral Alvin Halsey. Who is the head of US Southern Commands? Halsey was only a year into the position, and resignations like that are pretty uncommon. That led me to say there's a lot of things that suggest things may not be as Trump claims. Reporting has come out saying there were tensions between Halsey and Heggseth over the Admiral's concerns about the strikes. Halsey may end up being the roadblock to the bus. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries called on Hegseth to resign and said quote It is my understanding that Pete Hegseth, the so called Secretary of Defense, was absolutely involved. I think he may have even recently acknowledged that, because the facts are incapable of being disputed.

What future inquiries, probes, and training changes are expected after these events?

Belle of the Ranch 3:46

At this point, it's pretty clear there will be inquiries, probes, and hearings about this. And after all of that, regardless of the outcomes, there's probably going to be a little section added to the bit of training about unlawful orders that Republicans were just weeks ago saying was unimportant. Anyway, it's just a thought. Y'all have a good day.
