Go to Monday.com, start for free and finally breathe Top military leaders in the United States and abroad are issuing warnings that Donald Trump is incapable of carrying out his duties as a commander in chief, that Donald Trump pose an imminent threat to the United States and to countries countries across the world. Top military leaders, admirals, generals, foreign military leaders are leaking to the press just how bad it has gotten and how they have to keep Donald Trump out of the situation room because his erratic behavior and temperament is just getting so bad that it will get many, many more people killed by him just even being in the room. There's Wall Street Journal articles like Behind Trump' public bravado on the war. He grapples with his own fears, talks about how he's running around the White House screaming, yelling, cursing, panicking, behaving like a lunatic, talking about how he's afraid he's going to lose and then the next minute he's acting all tough. Just really odd behavior. You've got reporting out about how low the morale is of members of our Navy. You've got leaks coming out about how Iran still maintains most of ballistic missile and Shahi drone and FPV drone capability capabilities. You've got leaks coming out about the conditions aboard the USS Gerald Ford, which is close to 300 days at sea, surpassing the record for the longest deployed aircraft carrier since the end of the Cold War. You have leaks coming out about how the US Navy is now preparing to potentially board Iranian linked sanctioned cruise crude oil tankers and seize commercial ships within international waters, as we saw they purportedly did on Sunday. But the military generals, admirals and other leaders were warning about this, leaking information to the press about how that would lead to escalation and likely cause the war to really heat up yet again. You have leaks coming out about safety concerns and stress and the lack of planning and just what an absolute disaster things are within the military Right. Now, we know, of course, that Donald Trump has fired the top military leaders, top generals, fired the top general in the United States Army, General Randy George, the Chief of Staff of the Army. And when our top military leaders were forced to testify before the House of Representatives at the end of last week and they were asked questions about these terminations, they were basically like, look, we don't have any answers. You'll have to ask Pete Hegseth. We're not sure why he did that. By the way, the fact that you had the Army Chief of Staff, Randy George, fired, that added to the fact that there were several other top officers, dozens, over the past 12 to 18 months or 16 months or so. But you had the Chairman of The Joint Chiefs, General C.Q. brown Jr. He recently spoke out against the Trump regime at Harvard. I showed you that interview that he gave in Harvard. You had Admiral Risa Franchetti, the Chief of Naval Operations, who was the first woman in the role. You had General James Slife, the Vice Chief of Staff of the Air Force. You had the top JAG lawyers who were fired. It's basically been a gutting of our top military leaders. And you all remember, too, when the Joint Staff social media account made a post basically extending their deepest gratitude to General Randy George, the Chief of Staff of the Army. And one of the reasons that he was purportedly fired is that he was promoting people based on merit. And it was alleged that Hegseth didn't want certain people who Hegseth said, oh, that must be because of diversity or DEI or in my opinion, just very racist things. I'm just sharing with you, my opinion is why Hegseth didn't want certain people promoted. And General Randy George was fired as a result. And Randy George and his wife Patty, they were institutions within the institution of the United States military. And so their terminations, his termination and basically how George and Patty were treated has just pissed off the military to no end. And also, I think the military sees how weak Donald Trump is behaving. You know, in Iran, I think the military is like, make up your mind, man. Like, you know, we don't think that we should do ground invasions into Carg Island. We were warning you not to invade Iran in the first place. You didn't take our advice. Remember, there were all of those warnings going back to February. I mean, remember this article right here where the chairman of the Joint Chiefs, General Dan Kane, chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Raisin Cain, as they call them, within the Defense Department, he warned everybody within Defense, don't do this, this is going to be a disaster. The article was Pentagon flags risks of major operation against Iran. The warnings have been led by General Dan Raisin Kane, Chairman of the Joint Chief of Staff within the Defense during meetings of the National Security Council. But you know, they're like, okay, you didn't take our advice, you did this invasion. So what are you going to do now? You're just going to keep on making social media posts? I mean, that's how you're going to do this war. You're going to put in all caps. We're going to destroy the civilization. That's war crimes, by the way. And don't get us involved in your war crimes. But what are you going to do if you're going to, if you're going to go to war, go to war. I mean, that's what, that's what the military does. You want us to do it? There's going to be high casualties, lots of soldiers are going to die. Is that what you want? Okay, you don't want that? So what are you going to be mean? You think you're going to scare Iran with mean words? And so the military generals and admirals are just like leaking to the press. This guy's got no plan and he needs to be kept as far away as possible from decision making. Just think about how, what a wild thing that is, that, I mean, it's the right outcome, but that that's happening and then all this stuff is being leaked to the press. As we wrote on the Midas Touch Network account, a stunning new report in the Wall Street Journal reveals that military advisors intentionally excluded Donald Trump from the command room during the recent high stakes operation to extract a downed U.S. airman in Iran because they feared his erratic behavior could jeopardize the mission. According to the Wall Street Journal, Trump was in such a volatile state after Iran shut down a US jet that he spent hours screaming at AIDS in the West Wing, obsessing over fallout and invoking Jimmy Carter and the 1979 hostage crisis. Officials made the call to limit his access, only briefing him at meaningful moments instead of giving him real time control. Meanwhile, the operation itself nearly fell apart, with aircraft struck in desert sand and US Forces scrambling to avoid Iranian detection. The airman was eventually rescued, but the chaos didn't end there. Just hours later, Trump woke up and fired off his profoundly laced threat online, warning Iran it left living in hell and he would destroy their civilization. I just want to be clear as well. That's how Wall Street Journal reports the mission itself with these two F15 pilots. I've reported that I have a lot of questions about what really went down, because why don't we know who these F15 pilots are? They've never given their names. They've never spoken to the press. We've never seen photos of them. Also, where they were rescued was very close to the Iranian nuclear facilities. And so it seem to me that it was possible that there was a broader mission being used, whether the F15 pilots were shot down or not, whether that was part of a CIA operation or whether the fact that they were shot down allowed a pretext for a special operations mission to take place in order to try to extract the uranium, which failed. I raised a lot of issues that I still have lots of questions there, and I think we should all have questions there. You know, also in this damning Wall Street Journal piece, it talks about all of Trump's anxiety, how he, all of these threats and how he improvises things. He use insults as a tactic to bring Iranians to the negotiating table, screaming at aids, which it's not working at all. He wants to change subjects and talk about the ballroom and threatens war crimes. And it's miscalculation after miscalculation. And these generals, again, they're going to the press and it's leaking like a, like a fire hose right now at this point. Also, recent leaks, NPR reporting that cracks are forming inside the military, driven by low morale, ethical unease, and a growing number of service members choosing to retire early, declining to reenlist, or walking away from their contracts regardless of the consequences. The GI Rights hotline has seen call volume more than double since the Iran war began. The majority of callers are asking about conscientious objections, being forced to commit war crimes, and they don't want to do it. Then there was the leaks of the food that our service members were being given aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln and the USS Tripoli. You can see right here, they're basically being given poor, low quality food. I mean, just look at what you're even seeing right here. It doesn't even look edible. You know, it's like three little pieces of, of, of things, I guess. And then the leak came out that families were not able to even send their loved ones, their service members, aboard the ship. Food. While our service members had very low morale and, like, weren't able to eat the food that they, you know, that they needed.
