traitor yeah but ░░░░░░░░ s a decorated veteran ░░░░░░░░ former astronaut a sitting ░░░░░░░░ senator that doesn t ░░░░░░░░ uh he s it ░░░░░░░░ okay for him to ░░░░░░░░ the interest of another ░░░░░░░░ above America okay well ░░░░░░░░ saw that and you ░░░░░░░░ you saw the look ░░░░░░░░ Brett bear s face ░░░░░░░░ mean he made the ░░░░░░░░ Musk faced widespread criticism ░░░░░░░░ calling Senator Kelly a ░░░░░░░░ which he did on ░░░░░░░░ in response to a ░░░░░░░░ where Kelly said it ░░░░░░░░ important for the United ░░░░░░░░ to stand with Ukraine ░░░░░░░░ that any deal to ░░░░░░░░ the war quote can ░░░░░░░░ be a giveaway to ░░░░░░░░ Senator Kelly is now ░░░░░░░░ front uh as as ░░░░░░░░ just heard Brett Bear ░░░░░░░░ he does sit on ░░░░░░░░ armed services and intelligence ░░░░░░░░ he is a retired ░░░░░░░░ captain and Senator Kelly ░░░░░░░░ here we are um ░░░░░░░░ heard what Elon Musk ░░░░░░░░ at defending calling you ░░░░░░░░ traitor making his uh ░░░░░░░░ at at this point ░░░░░░░░ do you say well ░░░░░░░░ don t even know ░░░░░░░░ he deserves a response ░░░░░░░░ will what I will ░░░░░░░░ is that I ve ░░░░░░░░ an entire career standing ░░░░░░░░ for our country defending ░░░░░░░░ country flying in combat ░░░░░░░░ Iraq flying in space ░░░░░░░░ the space shuttle serving ░░░░░░░░ the United States Senate ░░░░░░░░ entire life has been ░░░░░░░░ serving this country and ░░░░░░░░ always stand with the ░░░░░░░░ interest of our nation ░░░░░░░░ I will tell you ░░░░░░░░ Aon standing with our ░░░░░░░░ and standing up for ░░░░░░░░ is in the best ░░░░░░░░ of the United States ░░░░░░░░ when you consider I ░░░░░░░░ who is Elon standing ░░░░░░░░ at this point a ░░░░░░░░ of billionaires I mean ░░░░░░░░ seems to me that ░░░░░░░░ folks in the administration ░░░░░░░░ of switch sides here ░░░░░░░░ would put Elon at ░░░░░░░░ point in the category ░░░░░░░░ being much closer to ░░░░░░░░ uh on this issue ░░░░░░░░ specific issue in a ░░░░░░░░ uh against one of ░░░░░░░░ with one of our ░░░░░░░░ against one of our ░░░░░░░░ I want this thing ░░░░░░░░ end as much as ░░░░░░░░ um but he throws ░░░░░░░░ traitor word around at ░░░░░░░░ with regards to me ░░░░░░░░ freely uh I don ░░░░░░░░ think he s a ░░░░░░░░ guy and he hasn ░░░░░░░░ give this given this ░░░░░░░░ lot of thought well ░░░░░░░░ mean it s not ░░░░░░░░ serious word obviously to ░░░░░░░░ um I mean it ░░░░░░░░ a serious word but ░░░░░░░░ the context of of ░░░░░░░░ I mean it s ░░░░░░░░ understand your point about ░░░░░░░░ uncertain as to whether ░░░░░░░░ reply to it but ░░░░░░░░ you have to in ░░░░░░░░ sense that he is ░░░░░░░░ the right hand man ░░░░░░░░ the in the in ░░░░░░░░ White House right I ░░░░░░░░ he s he I ░░░░░░░░ think it s fair ░░░░░░░░ say this guy s ░░░░░░░░ second most powerful person ░░░░░░░░ the country at this ░░░░░░░░ and he s firing ░░░░░░░░ he s randomly firing ░░░░░░░░ employees who did not ░░░░░░░░ to get fired he ░░░░░░░░ Social Security a Ponzi ░░░░░░░░ he s try trying ░░░░░░░░ create some room in ░░░░░░░░ budget to give a ░░░░░░░░ giant tax cut to ░░░░░░░░ and multi millionaires I ░░░░░░░░ that s what he ░░░░░░░░ up to and he ░░░░░░░░ an unelected um unex ░░░░░░░░ uh at least when ░░░░░░░░ comes to regard to ░░░░░░░░ federal government what he ░░░░░░░░ trying to accomplish here ░░░░░░░░ he s an unelected ░░░░░░░░ and I think he ░░░░░░░░ to stay in his ░░░░░░░░ own lane making Rockets ░░░░░░░░ cars he also might ░░░░░░░░ a little upset that ░░░░░░░░ sold his car well ░░░░░░░░ know I know you ░░░░░░░░ his car um and ░░░░░░░░ you know and in ░░░░░░░░ you know in a ░░░░░░░░ by the way Ain ░░░░░░░░ sold I I sold ░░░░░░░░ I sold the car ░░░░░░░░ he called me the ░░░░░░░░ trader the first time ░░░░░░░░ right well I mean ░░░░░░░░ guess now so now ░░░░░░░░ don t only want ░░░░░░░░ make of it but ░░░░░░░░ I I will say ░░░░░░░░ that sense Senator as ░░░░░░░░ re well aware you ░░░░░░░░ you re lucky there ░░░░░░░░ a lot of people ░░░░░░░░ may feel that they ░░░░░░░░ to do that for ░░░░░░░░ their political reasons and ░░░░░░░░ can t right because ░░░░░░░░ they can t get ░░░░░░░░ car I mean it ░░░░░░░░ puts people in a ░░░░░░░░ complicated situation I want ░░░░░░░░ ask you in the ░░░░░░░░ of of who you ░░░░░░░░ your resume your record ░░░░░░░░ the Committees that you ░░░░░░░░ on about that group ░░░░░░░░ there you know a ░░░░░░░░ judge ordered the Trump ░░░░░░░░ to preserve the app ░░░░░░░░ that they had sent ░░░░░░░░ military strike plans so ░░░░░░░░ came around that they ░░░░░░░░ to preserve them now ░░░░░░░░ s speaking out about ░░░░░░░░ you know to your ░░░░░░░░ about Russia here s ░░░░░░░░ we re hearing from ░░░░░░░░ the main American Scandal ░░░░░░░░ s National Security adviser ░░░░░░░░ deliberately or accidentally added ░░░░░░░░ in chief of the ░░░░░░░░ magazine the Atlantic and ░░░░░░░░ draw your attention to ░░░░░░░░ to the work chat ░░░░░░░░ the nation s top ░░░░░░░░ we want to get ░░░░░░░░ the chat about Ukraine ░░░░░░░░ like mock and and ░░░░░░░░ was the real risk ░░░░░░░░ the reason I ask ░░░░░░░░ this senator they want ░░░░░░░░ get into that chat ░░░░░░░░ you know we know ░░░░░░░░ the cell phones of ░░░░░░░░ of the individuals in ░░░░░░░░ are compromised so maybe ░░░░░░░░ could have been in ░░░░░░░░ chat about Houthis in ░░░░░░░░ case they could have ░░░░░░░░ intercepted this and killed ░░░░░░░░ Pilots that that is ░░░░░░░░ that could have happened ░░░░░░░░ didn t thank God ░░░░░░░░ it could have so ░░░░░░░░ you think what happened ░░░░░░░░ that these War plans ░░░░░░░░ sent out so cavalierly ░░░░░░░░ American Pilots could have ░░░░░░░░ does that make people ░░░░░░░░ twice the men and ░░░░░░░░ who are getting into ░░░░░░░░ cockpits and going up ░░░░░░░░ and I have uh ░░░░░░░░ uh strikes uh from ░░░░░░░░ an aircraft carrier I ░░░░░░░░ flown off an aircraft ░░░░░░░░ 39 times on combat ░░░░░░░░ defending this country when ░░░░░░░░ plan a mission the ░░░░░░░░ closely held information is ░░░░░░░░ timing when you re ░░░░░░░░ to launch where you ░░░░░░░░ going in this case ░░░░░░░░ Yemen and when you ░░░░░░░░ going to get there ░░░░░░░░ On Target weapon systems ░░░░░░░░ re carrying in this ░░░░░░░░ Pete heg said death ░░░░░░░░ mq9 Tomahawk F18 all ░░░░░░░░ information is the most ░░░░░░░░ sensitive information we have ░░░░░░░░ any adversary would want ░░░░░░░░ get that information it ░░░░░░░░ have made its way ░░░░░░░░ Yemen it didn t ░░░░░░░░ this case we we ░░░░░░░░ a really awful potential ░░░░░░░░ sure there are pilots ░░░░░░░░ are nervous about the ░░░░░░░░ in the Department of ░░░░░░░░ and that s why ░░░░░░░░ called for the Secretary ░░░░░░░░ Defense his resignation and ░░░░░░░░ he doesn t resign ░░░░░░░░ think the president is ░░░░░░░░ his rights and should ░░░░░░░░ know fire him dismiss ░░░░░░░░ uh when he was ░░░░░░░░ for this position and ░░░░░░░░ through the confirmation process ░░░░░░░░ sit on the Armed ░░░░░░░░ Committee very quickly it ░░░░░░░░ clear to me that ░░░░░░░░ was not qualified for ░░░░░░░░ and we re about ░░░░░░░░ something days into this ░░░░░░░░ and when you put ░░░░░░░░ people in really hard ░░░░░░░░ you get a really ░░░░░░░░ outcome and that s ░░░░░░░░
