0:00 well I think you also staying here know your presence really says it all

0:08 you understand we have a national constitutional problem it is I have a 0:23 serious problem because our congressional leadership has failed to 0:30 recognize they were given control to stop the fundamental transformation of 0:36 American not to facilitate and let me say a little something about this 0:43 fundamental transformation it's anti-American anti-western but pro-Islam 0:55 pro-Iranian and pro-Muslim Brotherhood you have to ask yourself why would an 1:04 American president embraced the Muslim Brotherhood whose creed is destroyers 1:12 from within by our own miserable hands and replace our Constitution wish that 1:20 draconian Shariah law the Muslim Brotherhood has been able to penetrate 1:29 all our national security and intelligence agencies they've had a 1:36 tremendous impact on not only domestic but foreign policy are restricted rules 1:45 of engagement which have caused so many American lives, that never had to happen 1:52 but in the same way we all of the fighting the very terrible cold so 2:03 with all of the problems we've had in carrying out their missions in Iraq and 2:21 Afghanistan preventing people from what we only used to be able to do to win we 2:31 also happen to have a very serious national security problem and when you 2:41 have a president who was not interest in America leading or America winning then 2:51 you understand the greatest threat to our national security resides at 1600 2:56 Pennsylvania taken down drawn from world leadership role by our own 3:16 administration you know where that many opportunities to change the course of 3:22 history as it relates to the Islamic Jihad and Islamic fundamentalism but it 3:29 has a matter the weather was a Republican or democratic administrations 3:34 they all fail going back to the carter administration when the Iranians took 3:42 over our embassy we had the capability to cut all of Islamic fundamentalism had 3:48 the needs director of political-military affairs the Joint Chiefs of Staff the 3:56 Jama called me up and said what can we do I said I'll tell you what we're going 4:00 to do we're going to take our guidelines and we coulda walked in I was only one 4:06 of the few people that have never been a guy land which is there 4:09 oil exporting devil going to go in with a bunch of Navy SEALs and we're going to 4:15 give them 24 hours ago died of our embassy and release other diplomats or 4:20 they were going to have the biggest ashtray in the Middle East next time the 4:32 marine barracks bombing and I have to tell you you know that never had that 4:37 happen in two separate a key message on September 24th, 1983 is almost four weeks 4:51 before the actual bombing and what it said was gave instructions to the 4:59 Iranian ambassador in Damascus goal in the leadership group telling the 5:06 concentrated their attacks on the multinational force but the take a 5:11 spectacular action against the United States Marines that message was put out 5:18 on the 27th of September 1983 the actual bombing took place October 23rd, 1983 I 5:28 as the divers the deputy chief of naval operations then I did not see that 5:32 message until two days after the bombing I've never been able to find out where 5:39 it was residing but nonetheless that same day when I show that message case 5:46 you called me out to langley and he said if we found out who did it would I make 5:51 up the plans to take them out with pleasure 5:56 courses one condition 5:59 whatever we give you you can share with the joint staff because you didn't want 6:06 to read about it in the next edition of the washington post for you media types 6:11 that are you agree 6:16 long story short we found out it was the Islamic amal they will hold up at the 6:21 Sheikh Abdullah barracks above all they had taken over the barracks these a 6:27 Lebanese army barracks with the help of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards on the 6:31 16th of September 1983 I had people inside that flow we had photographs we 6:39 had it nailed down we had the planes loaded what happened here we had lost 6:50 over two hundred and forty one of the finest military personnel it was the 6:56 largest loss of Marines in a single day since hiroshima why didn't we attack we 7:05 had the planes loaded we had briefed personally briefed the chairman of the 7:11 joint chiefs of staff and secretary of defense one but I'm when it got to the 7:19 key meeting with president reagan weinberger told them I think they were 7:26 Lebanese army troops in those marriage in effect he sabotaged the strike now 7:33 why would the secretary of defense do that very instant the two hundred and 7:40 forty one of our finest military personnel and it killed the strike he 7:45 did it not once but twice because the French as you recall had 55 their 7:51 barracks blown up and they lost 55 of their military and they want to do a 7:55 combined strike with us and Trojan in reagan approved it I told Jerry title 8:01 who was carry a test group 8:03 manda share our strike plans with the French now president reagan approved it 8:19 well from the USI nothing because the secretary of defense would not issue the 8:28 execute order unheard of I am personally talked to george schultz who is the 8:37 Secretary of State then he said he and but my job to both in bud mcfarland who 8:43 is the national security adviser and george and you said we pleaded with 8:48 weinberger to release the execute message and he refused to do it you have 8:55 to ask yourself what got to lunberg I've never had ok they couldn't hear me 9:09 anyway though you know I've come to the conclusion with Claire's help it was the 9:16 Iranian Washington lobby group exercise the key influence very powerful group 9:23 made up of former ambassador regretfully military military personnel and of 9:29 course was a Navy captain by the name of gary sik who was the Iranian scale for 9:37 sure but not only color but for reagan in the national security staff and this 9:43 is the guy that facilitated a lot man male better job making his speech at 9:48 Columbia University wouldn't let our walk that room speak so that should give 9:54 you his clothes so what happened 9:57 the French conducted this strike and weinberger told president reagan well we 10:03 didn't have to go it after all and you'll read this breaking story the 10:08 French totally wipe them 10:09 mount well I was pure biaz the French for up to five five hundred-pound bombs 10:16 and killed the goat you know here we go 10:23 you know when you take a country that the first thing you do is cut the 10:35 military and that's why sequestration was the perfect storm for the Obama 10:43 administration is my good friend Roger Arnold says it was really the excuse 10:49 nonetheless whatever it was here we're cutting sequestration cut made the 11:02 Defense Department absorbed fifty percent of the cuts that over a trillion 11:08 dollars and ten years but the key is defense only is respond or requires a 11:20 little more than 17 percent of our federal budget yet they were forced to 11:26 absorb over 50% so consequently lippo we wound up with a winding up with a small 11:34 ass on me since prior to World War two 11:37 we're putting well qualified combat veterans so the Obama administration can 11:44 have funds and to give away and his welfare programs seeding muslims country 11:50 and providing all sorts of goodies to illegal immigrants so here we go we're 11:57 going to have an army down to three hundred and forty 380,000 12:02 now know about ten divisions and we should have 14 divisions for the navy 12:07 you remember ronald reagan's gloria's six hundred-ship navy that Navy is now 12:14 down to two hundred and seventy three ships and to put that number in 12:18 perspective 12:19 that's the number of ships I had under my command of the pacific fleet and with 12:27 are anemic shipbuilding program we're never going to get to the level where we 12:32 have we should have 350 to 400 ships and 12 carried the media worldwide 12:37 commitments it's never going to happen 12:40 furthermore the Navy in this latest budget took a four billion over four 12:48 billion dollar it and you know you don't go anywhere in this world without the 12:59 ability to project power and key to that is our dominance of the Seas and urges 13:07 true today as it was when my hands first wrote it and i got to tell you every 13:13 Chinese naval officer sure has studied my hand keep that in mind here we have 13:22 the air force the air force's going down to the smallest Air Force history there 13:31 down twelve wins they ought to have 18 the 24 wings not only that this 13:38 thirty-five aircraft is a dog I mean I can't invent US I mean here if you have 13:49 that aircraft fully fueled and loaded with weapons if you lost your link to 13:57 the internet you can't started 14:02 he'll ever devised a system like that I would have loved to devise a system like 14:08 that for the soviets 14:11 it's because I'm making light of this an f-16 aircraft today can just outside it 14:30 out dogged it can it just would kill to change this around we're never going to 14:38 make the F 35 comfortable weapons system that we want to bank the future of this 14:45 country on and of course the Marines are suffering the same problems as the rest 14:52 of the market 15:10 kid still wet behind the ears and anything more than an officer staff and 15:27 we're ready we're talking about turning over this country to i mean this is as 15:32 bad as turning it over to hillary i mean there's Hillary the pathological liar 15:40 you know we gave it ten days advance warning of the attack on our facility in 15:47 Benghazi and this has been verified by Mike Flynn former director of the 15:59 Defense Intelligence Agency and US 13 our guys who I have to take my hat's off 16:06 to him who really came to the rescue 16:11 they could have saved Stevens had been held up and all those junk about well I 16:26 didn't say stand down it doesn't matter what terminology you use your didn't let 16:34 him respond it's in on when I first heard of Benghazi Lee this is 16:40 un-american this is not a we do not put people out in the field and not 16:47 protective wrap it up here and let me just say you know so you understand you 16:56 know and love belongs among many others finish up Benghazi frank mentioned it 17:05 earlier you know when Obama earnest for June 2009 she gave the green light for 17:12 the Arab Spring and he sent the signal their way in which said a whole bunch of 17:19 things 17:19 in motion but anyway the Libya you know we changed sides we provided for the 17:32 armament of the al-qaida militias and the Muslim Brotherhood militias and its 17:39 and the Muslim brother and I didn't mention it before 17:42 hold on you know their penetration into our systems is as deep or deeper than 17:54 the communists of the thirties forties and fifties i mean when not only that 18:00 you know the communists and harry hopkins as they man in the White House 18:05 the Islamist President Obama let me wrap up a couple things on Benghazi was our 18:23 guy in Libya what he was doing was beating down the al-qaida and Muslim 18:29 Brotherhood militias there was no humanitarian crisis in Benghazi this is 18:36 all on the right to interfere with what he was ready to abdicate my good friend 18:48 Joe Kubek retired Rear Admiral was working projects in Libya people sought 18:55 him out he incident negotiations with carter Ham the African commander they 19:00 were going on for two days he was ready to go and called him was directed cut 19:08 off negotiations 19:10 here's a president who received the Nobel Prize Peace Prize be given a 19:15 speech but he couldn't give three days to work out a truce and saved the lives 19:21 of tens of thousands of people one last point falls out of his chair 19:27 we had forces that were ready to respond 19:39 good yeah I got it I got a ride 19:46 ok we had we had the command as an extremist los 50 special forces in 19:54 croatia had their own aircraft in fact Jeremy Bush who is the chief establishes 20:01 the Department of Defense actually an email to the State Department 20:06 approximately at 19 and the night of the attack and said we've identified before 20:12 they are enroute always looking for ways where do I get the cross-border 20:18 authority he's still waiting for that answer we also had a hundred and thirty 20:26 men Marine Force Recon team at the base at Sigonella Sicily we add f-16 aircraft 20:34 at aviano
