US and Russia ratchet up rhetoric over downing of drone
"As the U.S. and Russia ramp up their rhetoric over yesterday's destruction of an American drone, their defense chiefs have resumed context to discuss what happened. For the first time since October. I just got off the phone with my Russian counterpart. Defense secretary Lloyd Austin would not give details. We take any potential for escalation very seriously. This incident brought the two nations closest to direct conflicts since the Ukraine invasion began a year ago. The U.S. says it was forced to ditch a $32 million surveillance drone in the Black Sea after a Russian fighter jet hit its propeller in international airspace, while Russia denies causing the incident joint chiefs chairman Mark milley says there's no denying the Russians harassed the drone. We have video evidence of all that. But as to whether the jet actually hit the drone. That I'm not so sure. Millie says the drone likely sank in up to 5000 feet of water. It probably broke up,

Lord Conrad Black Talks Conservatives' Views of Russia
"To be an inability of some very influential voices on the right to understand why Russia's you use the phrase snuffing out Ukrainian independence is a bad thing. Is this just a neo Buchanan knight neo isolationism that's just knee jerk or do you see something darker in this? Because for me, the idea that anyone who calls themselves any kind of conservative doesn't understand why Russia invading other countries is a bad thing, kind of boggles the mind. I find that astounding. And I don't know what the basis of it is just referred earlier in general. I'm not going to name any names here. But Friends of mine who went in most respects I agree with politically and have for years when we just part company in this issue. And just taking those cases as illustrative. I think part of the reason is they're fed up with the extravagance and stupidity of The Pentagon for all the stupefying amounts of money president Trump conferred on The Pentagon to bring American defense right up to scratch. They didn't address vulnerabilities in Taiwan. We don't have an adequate defense system for the Nimitz class carriers, which are gigantic ships. And we are behind the Russians in Chinese and hypersonic missiles. And when confronted with this, they'd be more ironic in my opinion. It should have been court martialed years ago, chief of the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, general milley, said it's a Sputnik moment.

U.S. Shot Two Missiles at Flying Object After First Shot Missed
"I'm serious. The missile missed the chairman of the joint chiefs, Millie, told reporters the first shot missed the second shot hit. The missile that missed landed harmlessly in the water of Lake Huron. And was later tracked down. They tracked down the missile, they saw the track down the balloons. They're at the bottom of the Lake. They're at the bottom of the, and they're in some Arctic area that's too cold to get to. Biden's given the order now to shoot balloons out of the sky because he was so embarrassed over the first one that he waited until it got over the coast of South Carolina. Derek, can you find out how much it costs? Because I saw that on the news last night, I want to get this straight. $500,000 missile wasted on a missed shot at a balloon that now they're saying they don't think came from China. What the heck is going on? And they're not forthcoming. They're not giving answers on anything on this.

1st missile strike at aerial object over Lake Huron missed
"The U.S. confirms a first missile strike at aerial object over Lake Huron mist. Speaking to reporters at a NATO defense meeting in Brussels, U.S. chairman of the joint chiefs of staff's general Mark milley says a first missile fired at an unidentified object overlay Huron, missed the second target while the second one hit. But Millie quickly stressed that the errant strike caused no harm. So we go to great lengths to make sure that the air space is clear and the backdrop is clear out to the max effective range of the missile, and in this case the missiles or the missile landed harmlessly in the water of Lake Euron. We tracked it all the way down. And we made sure that the airspace was clear of any commercial civilian or recreational traffic. The acknowledgment by Millie comes amid questions about whether the shootdown of aerial objects that military officials say don't post a threat could create unnecessary risks. I'm Mimi Montgomery

But when I talked earlier before the break about a miracle happening, there were several advance that happened that if any one of them did not happen or a door was closed, this whole thing wouldn't have taken place. And each one of those would have been an impossibility. The first of which was several calling the joint chiefs and asking for permission for us as severe an NGO to go onto the H Chi airport, a DoD controlled airport, land aircraft, go outside the wire, evacuate civilians, put them back, put them back in that airport. That's an impossibility. For anyone around the military. Yeah, you can understand that they're going to say, sorry, no. You can't do that. You're telling me they said yes. For some reason, they said yes. Which is a miracle. And then secondly, now we have to figure out how to move them. I mean, you can't just put them on a plane and fly to the United States. I'm not the State Department. And you can't bring someone without a Visa to another country. That's human trafficking. And you can only do that and Laura, Texas. But here in the real world, you have to follow the rules. And so we said, where can we bring these people to? And we called the UAE because we had some connections with the royal family there. Talk to them for about an hour. They rolled out the red carpet, said you could use our military center. We're going to put provide doctors and medical care. So when you had connections with the United Arab Emirates and it was because of them that you figured out how we can pull this off. Where we could bring them to, that's right, yeah.

"Global news. Japan has had a warning to residents to take shelter as North Korea continues its missile launches, let's get to it best in San Francisco with all the global news edge. Yeah, really tense times Julia, Japan, Kim Jong-un is not done first report this morning of the launch of ballistic missile that came from South Korea's joint chief style. And then word that Japan warned residents to take shelter indoors. Japan says of mid or long range had a stage separation, says it did separate Japan says it did fly over the island. Now, NHK subsequently reported that it may not actually have flown over the island, so they'll clear that up for us. Bloomberg's men Jong Lee in Tokyo. Scale of the missile launches is at an alarming point.

Launches yesterday unprecedented at least 23 missiles, including the first ballistic one to fly over a nautical border with South Korea. Meanwhile, the U.S. is saying that North Korea's covertly supplying Russia with artillery shells for use in Ukraine, this in spite of the numerous previous denials that had had planned to do so.

How cheung one is managing director and head of Asian fixed income at principal asset management, joining us from Singapore. I was reading an analyst note from alpha try and they said it's as if investors came to a haunted house and got handy, but candy, excuse me, but once they unwrapped it, they saw it was soggy, broccoli. What did you view from J pal and when did we get the candy rather than the soggy broccoli? You can get away from Halloween even. Morning, Juliet. Thanks, thanks for having me today. I think we got a way two things from polyester. One is that the peak rates may have to be higher and two, we're bringing markets back to where it was previously thinking of a pass. You can see SPX is now back to where it was on the 21st of October, peak rates are now above 5%. And I think the market is taking it very clearly that Paul wants to shift from the pace of tightening to the peak rate. Okay, and in terms of getting to that peak rate, I mean the other key factor is how much of a downturn to we see do we see a global recession, your view here and if there is going to be some kind of recession, how deep is it? I mean, what we're seeing are some signs of soft data that's already turning, right? Housing sector that interests rate sensitive sectors, housing, CAPEX, investments, even some part of consumer sentiment are turning. But what we have on the hot data site in the U.S. has come in fairly strong. What we're seeing the labor markets still fairly strong for now. And we're not seeing it turn dramatically. And I think what we have here as powers mentioned yesterday was that it's becoming a narrower and narrower path as the interest rate hikes are setting in and we have more on the way. While we're bringing it to 4% now, there is still at least 75 to a hundred basis points that's being priced in the market. So I think this amount of hikes pricing will put further pressure on economy. And what else we know? Sorry to just between U.S. and outside of the world, we can already see pressures outside of the U.S.. Yeah, absolutely. And a lot of those pressures are coming in living costs right, and I know you note here about at rents and there's a long lag there too. The tightness of the labor market too, what does that mean for wages and the impact there? I think what we're seeing in the way wages, they're kind of a bipolar market. What we're seeing is that the top quartile are seeing much less increases than the bottom quarter. And this is a function of the COVID reopening. This is a function of the lower participation rate. But the fed will have to kind of take the wage increases as a whole. Monetary policy can not be that pointed. It's somewhat blunt. And it has to look at we just increases as a whole and that

"And at least somewhat policy disarray is probably relatively heartening So I think that they can take more than one message away But on the whole I think the message was one that Taiwan is not isolated That ultimately numerous states are concerned about a possible Chinese invasion into Taiwan and that doing so would certainly be an economically costly for China David the backdrop here of course is a war in Ukraine one that we are very heavily funding here on behalf of the Ukrainians The president couldn't answer the question about Taiwan without referring to Ukraine It's certainly present in the conversation here And I need to ask you about what is going on in Ukraine's war against Russia and of course our involvement we heard today not only from the Secretary of Defense he was briefing with general Mark milley the chairman of the joint chiefs and a lot of concern about what's going on in the Black Sea here as Russia essentially helps to starve a good chunk of the world by blocking off ports that would Ukraine would be using to export wheat and other grains general milley talked about the Black Sea as a very dangerous place here We've got reports at this point that we may be equipping Ukraine with more naval weapons torpedo boats and so forth to help go after the Russian fleet in the Black Sea General milley speaking to this part of the world today here he is We don't have any U.S. naval vessels in the Black Sea We don't intend to unless directed And right now it's a bit of a stalemate there between the Ukrainians wanted him to make sure that there's not any sort of amphibious landing against Odessa And right now so it's a no go zone for commercial shipping As an expert on asymmetric warfare David when you consider what's happening there and the idea of the U.S. staying in touch with an upgrading the weapons that were providing along with Russia's hope to cut off Ukraine from the Black Sea What did we see happening in the next weeks The next week is hard to predict but I want to talk a little bit about the stakes here right Because you mentioned the failure to open the ports And that's come up in a number of different contexts including being raised by the head of the UN World Food Program at Davos at the World Economic Forum Ukraine is the world's breadbasket in many ways right Farmers grow enough food to feed 400 million people And right now you have multiple people by some accounts maybe 50 million people who are knocking on the famine store across multiple countries 43 different countries have the risk of major food crises And so the ripple effect is substantial in terms of human costs So there's greater pressure to do something to be Absolutely There is Does the United States get involved more in a naval battle in the Black Sea as my question So that's the question I think the answer is a resounding note The U.S. is not in my opinion The U.S. is highly unlikely to get involved in direct military action It's likely to continue indirectly as it has been There's some unpredictability but it seems that President Biden does not want a direct military confrontation with Russia.

"Calls for things from food to electronics surged last month Consumer prices in November were up 6.8% from a year earlier leading to the highest annual inflation rate in nearly 40 years The Labor Department says the jump from October was 0.8% Inflation has been up sharply during the economy's quick pandemic recovery due in part to everything from factory supply shortages to employers who have

"Meghani reports that the nation's top military officer is defending phone calls made to his Chinese counterpart during the final days of the Trump administration In upcoming book by The Washington Post Bob Woodward and Robert cost to describe joint chiefs chairman Mark milley as worried about what Trump might do before leaving office and telling China's top officer he would warn Beijing in case of a U.S. attack Millie spokesman says the general was acting within his duties as the president's top uniformed adviser Trump says Millie should be tried for treason if the report's true At The White House President Biden was asked if the joint chiefs chair did the right thing Sagar Meghani Washington which of course if not directly responsible to the question a responsive to the question but then again that wouldn't be at first for this particular president I would simply offer a quick opinion here that regardless of what fears he might have had this was totally outside the boundaries of his authority to either be talking to his Chinese counterparts in particular or to speaker Pelosi who has nothing to do with this entire process So whether he was motivated by something good or something ill doesn't matter he stepped way outside of his authority in my view Let's get the view of all of you of course at one 8 6 6 5 O Jimbo one 8 6 6 5 O 5 four 6 two 6 with our guest retired army lieutenant colonel Daniel Davis who is a senior fellow at military expert for defense priorities dot org colonel Davis good evening Hi thanks for having me back on Jim Yes glad to have you with us tonight Regardless of motivation and I don't but for example happy to buy into the Donald Trump view that this would meet the legal definition of treason But it certainly was vastly overstepping authority and as far as I have concerned grounds for dismissal I could not agree with you more strongly This is wrong every single way you want to look at it And in fact I've written a piece today that calls for his resignation or his being relieved of duty if he doesn't want to go down that path And the reason I say that is because look the story that's come out and the one that apparently The Pentagon is defending it just doesn't hold water I mean just point blank It doesn't hold water If he actually felt that way just on the surface of it then his first obligation is not to reach out to a general of communist Chinese military forces That's not the first place you go If you feel that strongly you directly go to the president or you go to the Secretary of State the Secretary of Defense you don't go to our greatest political and military rival That's just crazy on the surface of it But look let's go a little bit below the surface too The idea the president Trump was even contemplating and much less took any action towards going to war with China It was so stark that the general felt like he had to intervene How was even less water I mean just consider that Trump actually pulled back military action in the summer of 2019 when the uranians had shot down one of our drones because he was afraid a 150 people innocent people might die Now how much less would he be inclined to start a war with the nuclear power China that will probably cause tremendous casualties on this and possibly a nuclear exchange He would never do that He didn't take any action according to what's been reported So that's even another overstep that the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff acted just because he thought maybe he would I mean there was no substance to it So in every way you want to look at it he needs to go Yeah it really does I don't know Nothing I suppose that President Biden says any more surprises me but to me the president missed an opportunity to frankly a cut loose a loose cannon and to give his generic response I have great faith in the general milley said nothing whatsoever devoted to question avoided the issue and I'm sure that for example President Biden would have felt less sanguine about the subject had general Millie tried to short change his particular control of the nuclear football And I got to say I was kind of disappointed I thought at the very least he would say well we're going to do an inquiry and an investigation and then we'll take whatever action appropriate I mean but not your first reaction to say you have complete confidence any because he has just shown that really he does not he had done earned complete confidence And look the reason why I'm so much against this invite you this is not a Republican or democratic issue This is an issue of the republic of our country because look there's melly is just as likely to do this to Biden In fact our is that he already has to some degree Besides what was talking about here he thwarted the odds of the issue of the withdrawal of Afghanistan He slow rolls the Trump administration He tried to behind the scenes push back on the Biden administration And what happens next year if there's another issue that's the chairman really Does it agree with Biden on that issue There's no reason why he wouldn't do it again So for that reason kind of to your point there.

Jonathan swan has been reporting out what he's learned about. Not just the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff mark milley but also then defense secretary. Mark esper- hi jonathan. Can you tell us what this is all about. Like many of the other trump books that have already come out and our reporting and axios. They detail very serious. Intense concerns that the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff mark milley had in the final days of the trump presidency and certain actions. He took to try and in his mind. Safeguard the republic from the commander in chief. But this two phone calls in particular which Getting a lot of attention. Day between millie and his chinese counterpart news on october thirtieth and january eighth and in the would cost her account. Milly reportedly dev's assurances to the chinese general that trump is not going to attack china and that if trump was to attack then millie would give his chinese counterpart a phone call effectively. A secret heads up. We have corroborated that he he did. Have these phone calls with the chinese general. The pot of it. I haven't been able to confirm is that he would give them a coal in advance of an attack which would have would be an extraordinary thing for a military latest or do what does your reporting show about the role of then defense secretary mark asper in all of this as well what i gathered from multiple sources who were involved in this in mid october last year top pentagon officials started to the chinese leaders were consuming really bad intelligence. That suggested that trump might do a surprise strike against china before the election. It was defense secretary. Mark s bah. Who is worried. The chinese will misreading the situation and that this could lead to an unintended war between the two nuclear powers so he tells his policy office. Listen guys go send it back channel message to the chinese reassure them. Don't over read what you're seeing in washington. We've got no intention to attack this happens.

"Is a great question because you know even the people who are the very closest to him and that we interviewed at length sometimes for seven hours at a sitting. Aren't completely sure you know. President trump gave a inkling that he knew it wasn't stolen in the early days after the election. By saying something about how you know you don't know who the next maybe the next president will be biden's essentially he used a different term like we don't know the next administration will be so. He gave a little hint. That it may be wasn't the real deal. But as time went on what phil and i learned for the book. He insisted on only listening to those people who told him what he wanted to here. Which is that you know. Thousands of dead people voted in michigan and pennsylvania or as he told us indians were paid to vote whatever that means that they had tons of evidence. That people were sent absentee ballots. Or forgive me. People voted on absentee ballots for which there was no record of those ballots. Being sent to them all of these were debunked and in fact. Bill barr told the president privately. All of this is bullshit. It's nonsense but the president wasn't listening to bill bar in december. He wasn't listening to him. In in late november he was listening to rudy. Giuliani and mike lindell and other conspiracy theorists. Who were you know. Basically becoming closer to the president by telling him he was gonna still be precedent. So what would you like to say going out the door About trump in the vaccine. And you're not the vaccine but the pandemic and your portrayal in the book before we wrap it up. You know brian. What carol and i learned in our deep reporting for ireland can't fix it. Is that the characteristics of trump's leadership that were so evident from day one of his presidency. His mismanagement his chaos his cruelty. That toolbox just couldn't work in a real crisis when corona virus arrived at the beginning of twenty twenty Trump just couldn't manage the situation and the result was downright deadly for america for the economy Race relations spiraled out of control under his watch. He vowed when he ran for office that he alone could fix it and yet he fixed nothing. He couldn't even fixed the election at the end. And that's not our conclusion necessarily based on opinion based on our reporting we talked to more than one hundred forty senior administration officials high level people in the president's cabinet and of course trump himself and max the simple truth That emerged from that deep.

Then you haven't been hearing some of the revelations from the new book by washington post reporters philip rocker and carolina called. I alone can fix it. Many know where that title comes from. It was one of trump's lines from two thousand sixteen republican convention. Nobody knows the system better than me. Which is why. I alone can fix it and you already do know some of the ways that trump tried to fix the pandemic and fix the election during the last year of his administration. But did you know that on january six during the capital riots. Vice president mike pence refused to take a secret service right to safety because he was afraid they wouldn't let him return to the capital to finish the job. Certifying the election. Did you know joint chiefs of staff chairman. General milley was afraid of trump pulling off an actual coup to stay in office and the general milley was thinking of parallels to nazi germany in the nineteen thirties. Those are just two of the new things in this book. Philip rucker and carolina. We're on this show for their previous book about trump with the title of another famous way. He referred to himself a very stable genius. Remember that book and we're glad that joining us for this one. I alone can fix carol. And phillip thanks for making this one of your stops.

And we're looking at dig in and let me just start with those anecdotes because they're so mind blowing and then we'll zoom out to a bigger picture Carol what happened with mike pence in the secret service on january sixth brian. I'm so glad you think. This is a bombshell. Because fillon i did too and we. I heard it and began digging deeper. You know what many people didn't realize is while president trump was sort of gleefully watching his followers and supporters marching on the capital and breaching the outer barricades pushing past police to get closer to the capital to quote unquote. Stop the steel inside. Mike pence was being evacuated on an emergency basis from the senate floor where he was taking his role very seriously certify. The election that biden was the future president as he was evacuated. Rioters were literally charging up the steps to the landing and were. They are seconds in the hallway. Right after pence had crossed it to a hideaway with his secret service. Detail in the hideaway. His detail leader insisted to him three times. We have to leave. We have to get you out of here. Pence resisted twice and on the third request. It wasn't a request. It was an order when he got to the basement where the subterranean safe sort of parking place where his detail had taken him. Pence was asked by his detail leader. Tim gables. I need you to get in the car. That's safer and pence responded. I trust you tim. But i'm not getting in that car. Some other agent may drive me away from here. And i'm staying in this building. That's how adamant he was about certifying the election and his feeling of duty that he was going to finish the job and not be chased off by essentially a group of criminals philip. Do you used the word kidnap in the book because it sounds like pants was afraid he wasn't being rescued. But being kidnapped by trump in the scenario the cow just laid out so he couldn't return that night to certify the election. O'brien we don't use that word. What carol just described and away you synthesized. It is exactly right. Pence was afraid That the secret service would take him away from the capitol..

Felt the danger worried about where democracy was headed was up late at night every night worried about it both in the run up to the election. Then its aftermath culminating in the january six insurrection. Even i someone very tuned into the news did not quite put all the pieces together. At the time fleetest reporting we are getting is a good occasion to revisit. It all look at it in hindsight. Now you've probably seen the news from the new book by two great washington post reporters carolina. Brooker they report that as trump ceaselessly pushed false claims about the two thousand twenty presidential election. General mark milley chairman of the joint chiefs of staffs more and more nervous telling aides fear the president and his acolytes might attempt to use the military to stay in office. Millie described a stomach churning feeling as he listened to trump's untrue complaints of election fraud drawing a comparison to the one thousand nine hundred eighty. Three attack germany's parliament building. That hitler used as a pretext to establish a nazi dictatorship. This is a reichstag moment. Billy told aides according to the book the gospel of the for now throughout this awful era. We went through with this terrible person as a commander in chief surrounded by truly terrible people. All of whom are now attempting to launder the reputations through backstabbing the press. Always you look at these stories. And there's been little hundreds thousands of them right about the trump white house through that last trying to figure out who's trying to get over on who who's trying to spin who what to believe when you take those quotes by these two very good reporters then think back to the actual public evidence. The pictures even more unnerving than it was before. So let's let's start even before the election. Donald trump of course spent the summer whipping up fears about election integrity. Right saying mail. In ballots were fraudulent. Then call the whole election rigged at the first debate at the end of september. Everybody got to ballots. This is going to be a fraud. Like you've never seen it's a rigged. I mean you have a fraudulent election. Monroe bell is annette equipped. These people aren't equipped to handle it number one number two they cheat. They cheat on october eleventh a few weeks before election. General milley chair the joint chiefs of staff right. He gave an interview to npr where he said.

This is a resolution asking Vice President Mike Pence. To act in concert with the Cabinet under the 25th amendment of the Constitution to remove President Trump. We already know that Mike Pence says he won't do that. He sent a letter The vice president did to the speaker, which was released a short time ago, saying that this was a move by Democrats to push him and that he has behaved honorably. He behaved honorably on January 6th the will in the future, and he does not appreciate this decision being Forced on him, which House Democrats, we should emphasize have no legal power to do. They can only urge him to do that. All this, of course, however, is a preliminary to tomorrow's impeachment. And after that, in a few days comes a Biden administration and a short time ago we were talking about reforms with legal scholar Kim Way Lee and Kim Help us think through this problem. We have the problem of a president who, in effect, attempted to steal an election by saying the election was stolen from him. Ah, President, who by the other party and apparently by some members of his own party is he's people are terrified about exactly what he would do to the extent that the Joint Chiefs of staff Have had to put out an extraordinary statement emphasizing to the troops that Joe Biden is going to be president on January 20th and that their job is to uphold the Constitution. It's gotten to that point after the president incited the attack on the Capitol on January 6th. You just mentioned the possibility of shortening the transition. It's been done once in history of used to be about five months all the way to March. They shortened it to January. I do want to mention though Kim The time has in some ways been up blessing. It was time to resolve the legal disputes in 2000, which were real. It was time to resolve the legal disputes in 2020, which were fake. It was time but you alluded to some other things that could be done to safeguard the process. Although I do wonder how do you safeguard the process truly against bad faith against people who simply make up things and and abuse the process? Well, I think the big one of the big elephants in the room is the fact that there's so much misinformation that is now coming through. People's phones are many computers in their hands that's planted there. To algorithms tailor to make people think certain things and unfortunately in the Trump air, we have politicians now signing on to this falsehood, so I would say You know, back to basics in terms of integrity and honor. The thing the Republican Party needs to do is to come clean and say we we do que way didn't tell you the truth. This was a legitimate election. We need to go back to fax. We need to go back. Law, but but, you know, I'm not so sure They're number things what could be done? I'm not so sure What? What's really left of the checks and balances when it comes to the presidency. One thing I think needs to happen under America. Garland is getting rid of This internal policy, saying that you cannot pardon or you can't indict a sitting president because one thing that's going to happen probably or possibly between now and the 20th. Is a self pardon that would insulate the office of the presidency. From accountability for wrongdoing in office and then again out of office. None of this is none of this is what the framers anticipated. Make you look at the Federalist Papers. Hamilton. They expected that the American people would elect people who are a measured who adhere to the rule of law who follow norms who care about Democracy itself, and that's gone by the wayside. So there's only so much rules conduce, but I do think, as I think Nina Totenberg might have mentioned. I do think Congress needs To step up to the plate and do a series. Reforms to shore up some of this stuff. Make it so that on January 6th, For example, when the Congress meets and they raise objections to certification, the law old law 18 77 7 Electoral Count Act makes clear that that's a posturing but actually up ended. You need hard evidence. You need actual verifiable facts. Things like that. That in the era of Trump on the open from now, people followed by the rules. They followed the norms President adhere to peaceful transitions of power, which really makes America democracy somewhat magical. The fact that we've worked with now crossed into a another another. You know, faith, I think of American history. Where? Yeah, Go ahead. No, I have a question. I mean, you can't legislate every single norm so some of these norms depend on self restraint. The party is simply don't do every single thing that they could do not everything is constitutional hardball. What I My question to you is if you change the rule that presidents can't be indicted. Won't every president be indicted. If there's you know, or at least impeached. If there's an opposition Congress talk that through. Why would that be the case? Yeah, well because It's already house Republicans were talking about in impeaching Joe Biden. They were talking about impeaching Hillary Clinton before the election of 2016. I'm just wondering this spiral that we're in this kind of death spiral of democracy is because people aren't willing to have mutual respect and And and mutual respect for each other. The opposing party and the rules. Father, But the rule always has. Really, I shouldn't say always certainly since Watergate when the Justice Department issued it been opinion, saying You. The president. Can't um, be indicted while he's in office..

"We've heard it from the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in the secretary the army.

Paul briefly before we move on. You have covered conflict in the Middle East. You've covered wars. When you think back to the scenes here in Washington on Wednesday. Did you ever think you'd be reporting on something like that here? No, obviously not. I think the interesting thing about what happened. The only comparison I would draw is that I think in the same way Nancy and I covered the kind of uprisings in the Middle East. Often, the protesters went along to do things and suddenly found that they were able to do something they never thought they'd be able to do for one reason or another. That Security wasn't in place or or the security gave up with melted away, and there was a bit of sense of that. I think on this'll week that basically the protesters just didn't think they'd be able to do what they managed to do. And then when they found that they could, they just went for it, And I think that's the that's. The comparison is basically a lot of this basically comes down, frankly, to the lack of security, the security failures because you were always going to get people carrying out some angry protests. On that day. We knew it. They even had T shirts printed, saying they were going to do it. And so the inability to stop them doing what they don't waste that they were going to do is one of the fundamental errors of what happened this week. It's the Friday news round up and there's still a lot more for us to discuss. We're talking with Paul Dano Heart Washington bureau chief for the BBC. Nancy uses National security.

"And so they're very, very concerned that, for instance, on Iran that you know the Trump might want to burnish his damaged legacy by a strike on their nuclear facilities, perhaps because he knows that President Biden elect President elect Biden once wants to get back another new Iran nuclear deal. Getting out of that was a big part of Trump's legacy. So there's a huge amount of concern in national security circles about what this president will do in the time he has left. We're talking to James Kit Fields, senior fellow at the Center for the Study of the Presidency and Congress. Also Paul Donna, our Washington bureau chief for the BBC, and Nancy Yusef, from The Wall Street Journal. Nancy, if you pick up where James left off there, I I know last weekend does feel like a year ago. But there was this remarkable op ed that was published and signed by 10 angry men. It was almost prophetic. Tell us a little bit more about that letter? Sure, so this was signed by all 10 living Defense Secretary's I've covered six of them, and basically the letter had three points that they election is over, and therefore the time for protests has passed and that there's no role for the military. In terms of, um Litigating the election. And it was interesting because, as I mentioned I've covered six on these. These are all 10, very different personalities, different styles, different political parties, and they described coming together in one day in the green on the necessity off this letter. Two of them were served as defense secretary under President Trump, and I think it speaks to a couple things that there is a concern about, um, the expectation that somehow that the military should intervene in somehow and I think, because the current acting secretary defense Chris Miller, um, has never really Signaled no military invention. We've heard it from the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in the secretary the army. I think there was a need that need to be stated, so it's remarkable and that they felt the message needed to be communicated both to the public but to the but also to the current acting secretary.
