RUSH TRANSCRIPT United States ░░░░░░░░ dragging me now retired ░░░░░░░░ general Randy Manner He ░░░░░░░░ Kamala Harris for president ░░░░░░░░ Thank you for being ░░░░░░░░ That phrase I wonder ░░░░░░░░ your immediate thought was ░░░░░░░░ you hear the enemy ░░░░░░░░ within I mean the ░░░░░░░░ president that on quite ░░░░░░░░ tonight talking about his ░░░░░░░░ prosecutor use take in ░░░░░░░░ so first of all ░░░░░░░░ re absolutely the vice ░░░░░░░░ is correct you re ░░░░░░░░ while he s not ░░░░░░░░ office he cannot do ░░░░░░░░ to harm Americans directly ░░░░░░░░ he was to be ░░░░░░░░ commander in chief again ░░░░░░░░ changes The Supreme Court ░░░░░░░░ given him immunity and ░░░░░░░░ threshold for turning the ░░░░░░░░ guard into his personal ░░░░░░░░ force is quite low ░░░░░░░░ long as he has ░░░░░░░░ consenting governor he can ░░░░░░░░ the funds to pay ░░░░░░░░ as the commander in ░░░░░░░░ and he can use ░░░░░░░░ national guard almost in ░░░░░░░░ way that he wants ░░░░░░░░ most Americans don t ░░░░░░░░ how very easy it ░░░░░░░░ be for a off ░░░░░░░░ unhinged president to use ░░░░░░░░ military against our own ░░░░░░░░ Could he force an ░░░░░░░░ governor to do the ░░░░░░░░ Or he would have ░░░░░░░░ have one complicit so ░░░░░░░░ s easy if the ░░░░░░░░ is complicit if it ░░░░░░░░ unwilling governor he could ░░░░░░░░ using the active duty ░░░░░░░░ are so many things ░░░░░░░░ could be done because ░░░░░░░░ are areas where sane ░░░░░░░░ don t go it ░░░░░░░░ basically the guardrails of ░░░░░░░░ democracy the rule of ░░░░░░░░ prevents civilian leaders from ░░░░░░░░ where they should not ░░░░░░░░ But President Trump is ░░░░░░░░ like any saying leader ░░░░░░░░ of the common pushbacks ░░░░░░░░ hear when anyone from ░░░░░░░░ opines about the prospect ░░░░░░░░ him using the military ░░░░░░░░ they say you are ░░░░░░░░ the military you are ░░░░░░░░ giving them enough credit ░░░░░░░░ would not perform or ░░░░░░░░ unlawful order of any ░░░░░░░░ What do you say ░░░░░░░░ that So it s ░░░░░░░░ important to understand that ░░░░░░░░ president of the United ░░░░░░░░ he or she selects ░░░░░░░░ the officers for promotion ░░░░░░░░ our military Congress the ░░░░░░░░ approves those nomination but ░░░░░░░░ s the president who ░░░░░░░░ it So under project ░░░░░░░░ it is proposed that ░░░░░░░░ s going to require ░░░░░░░░ equivalent of a loyalty ░░░░░░░░ or they call it ░░░░░░░░ interview of all three ░░░░░░░░ four star generals Well ░░░░░░░░ can imagine it s ░░░░░░░░ because we had and ░░░░░░░░ like secretary of defense ░░░░░░░░ Esper and then the ░░░░░░░░ of the joint chiefs ░░░░░░░░ Milley with their strong ░░░░░░░░ that served as a ░░░░░░░░ on the way to ░░░░░░░░ the president from doing ░░░░░░░░ quite frankly illegal and ░░░░░░░░ actions while he was ░░░░░░░░ speaking of joint chiefs ░░░░░░░░ Milley he told Bob ░░░░░░░░ who is a chairman ░░░░░░░░ that of course Trump ░░░░░░░░ now the most dangerous ░░░░░░░░ to this country I ░░░░░░░░ suspicions when I talked ░░░░░░░░ you about his mental ░░░░░░░░ and so forth but ░░░░░░░░ I realize he s ░░░░░░░░ total fascist this is ░░░░░░░░ stunning statement from somebody ░░░░░░░░ such high ranking Yes ░░░░░░░░ does it say that ░░░░░░░░ like Milley would vocalize ░░░░░░░░ and believe it Well ░░░░░░░░ m very proud of ░░░░░░░░ Milley for saying what ░░░░░░░░ did to Bob Woodward ░░░░░░░░ s important that we ░░░░░░░░ back for a second ░░░░░░░░ m so surprised how ░░░░░░░░ people do not even ░░░░░░░░ what the concept of ░░░░░░░░ is It s something ░░░░░░░░ let s back up ░░░░░░░░ second So if you ░░░░░░░░ to webster online and ░░░░░░░░ re going to find ░░░░░░░░ fascism is defined as ░░░░░░░░ s usually nationalistic It ░░░░░░░░ far right okay let ░░░░░░░░ see so that s ░░░░░░░░ the Trump campaign And ░░░░░░░░ it s going to ░░░░░░░░ in tolerant of dissenting ░░░░░░░░ okay We ve got ░░░░░░░░ check on that There ░░░░░░░░ a contempt for the ░░░░░░░░ of law or only ░░░░░░░░ laws they want to ░░░░░░░░ We ve got to ░░░░░░░░ on that And then ░░░░░░░░ unquestioning obedience to the ░░░░░░░░ leader Okay Check and ░░░░░░░░ lastly it s this ░░░░░░░░ of a supremacy of ░░░░░░░░ race or religion Well ░░░░░░░░ check white and Christian ░░░░░░░░ very are the backbone ░░░░░░░░ his of his people ░░░░░░░░ s that is actually ░░░░░░░░ definition of fascism And ░░░░░░░░ encourage our viewers to ░░░░░░░░ it up themselves and ░░░░░░░░ their own conclusions Well ░░░░░░░░ Milley extremely well educated ░░░░░░░░ s very articulate very ░░░░░░░░ man He and I ░░░░░░░░ together in the Pentagon ░░░░░░░░ years ago literally person ░░░░░░░░ person for a long ░░░░░░░░ if he as the ░░░░░░░░ of the joint chiefs ░░░░░░░░ calling the president of ░░░░░░░░ I m so proud ░░░░░░░░ him for breaking that ░░░░░░░░ to say that does ░░░░░░░░ to the truth that ░░░░░░░░ is the challenges because ░░░░░░░░ MAGA Republicans and please ░░░░░░░░ I am not referring ░░░░░░░░ Republicans in general but ░░░░░░░░ very far right the ░░░░░░░░ They don t understand ░░░░░░░░ fascism is The reality ░░░░░░░░ they are in fact ░░░░░░░░ themselves by the definition ░░░░░░░░ here s the sad ░░░░░░░░ The people who vote ░░░░░░░░ Trump they don t ░░░░░░░░ that they are also ░░░░░░░░ a fascist and that ░░░░░░░░ very bad for our ░░░░░░░░ And it s done ░░░░░░░░ of ignorance in most ░░░░░░░░ it s a very ░░░░░░░░ state of affairs that ░░░░░░░░ are We have a ░░░░░░░░ running for the president ░░░░░░░░ the United States it ░░░░░░░░ general It s stunning ░░░░░░░░ two friends on the ░░░░░░░░ hand So often we ░░░░░░░░ surprised with good reason ░░░░░░░░ military personnel and others ░░░░░░░░ talk about politics and ░░░░░░░░ s a reason there ░░░░░░░░ distance from there but ░░░░░░░░ feel so strongly to ░░░░░░░░ the way that you ░░░░░░░░ or that the former ░░░░░░░░ chiefs chairman spoke about ░░░░░░░░ very telling about how ░░░░░░░░ nervous you must be ░░░░░░░░ the prospects of Trump ░░░░░░░░ in office again that ░░░░░░░░ absolutely correct As the ░░░░░░░░ in chief is the ░░░░░░░░ president who s ever ░░░░░░░░ our military and veterans ░░░░░░░░ and losers which of ░░░░░░░░ he denies Of course ░░░░░░░░ actually respect to general ░░░░░░░░ for his integrity as ░░░░░░░░ to report it as ░░░░░░░░ actually happened backed up ░░░░░░░░ others I think this ░░░░░░░░ also very important to ░░░░░░░░ that I ve been ░░░░░░░░ I m an apolitical ░░░░░░░░ of my life I ░░░░░░░░ part of an organization ░░░░░░░░ over 1 000 generals ░░░░░░░░ admirals and ambassadors and ░░░░░░░░ enlisted leaders who support ░░░░░░░░ president Harris and governor ░░░░░░░░ We have an apolitical ░░░░░░░░ it is very difficult ░░░░░░░░ us to be able ░░░░░░░░ speak up at this ░░░░░░░░ But we must general ░░░░░░░░ you so much for ░░░░░░░░ us this evening.
