Trump official turns in DISASTER performance on national TV
You need to see this exchange between. Kristen Welker and Trump's UN Ambassador. Mike Waltz today because I promise you. you will not get a more. self-contradicting 60 seconds of. television than this. >> You raised assets. I want to ask you. about the assets. NBC News is reporting. the Pentagon is actually rationing some. defense weaponry amid diminishing. supplies. Is America backing away from a. larger military attack because its. military stockpile has been depleted? >> Well, look, we have to take a step back. here and that a lot of stockpiles were.
depleted not only from what we gave. Ukraine over the last however many. years, four or five years, and the. administration inherited the secretary. Secretary Hagerty inherited a depleted. situation from not only Ukraine, but. also the ongoing fight with the Houthis. under the Biden administration and a. depleted military under the Biden. administration. So, they have decided. one, they're going to new types of. munitions, cheaper munitions, new technologies, but.
also with these new defense budgets. rebuilding our great military. However, >> But you can't acknowledge that they're. depleted and then not acknowledge that. they're depleted at this moment. You. want to acknowledge that they're. depleted. >> want to be crystal clear. The US. military, and I've verified this every. which way, has everything that it needs. to conduct this campaign as effectively. as it needs to be and I have to just. tell you the people that are leaking. this nonsense deserve to be in jail. >> No, nothing. Just Mike Waltz both.
blaming Biden for a depleted stockpile. which in the very next breath he claims. doesn't exist and that anybody who. suggests otherwise should be jailed. I. um. Sorry, what? But let's actually engage. with his own excuse for a second because. even on the merits, even on its own. terms, it falls apart. So, let's just. say, for argument's sake, that Joe Biden. really did leave the stockpile in bad. shape. Okay. Trump has now been. president for nearly two years with full. control of government and with that time.
he has requested the largest Pentagon. budget in American history, 1.5 trillion. dollars for next fiscal year alone, a. nearly 44% jump on top of what he. already called a record 1 trillion. dollars this year. This isn't a White. House that's been starved for defense. funding. This is a White House that has. gotten more money for the military than. any administration in the history of. this country. So, if our stockpile is. depleted, maybe ask the president and. the Fox weekend anchor turned Secretary.
of Defense where all of the money is. actually going. Like, you don't get to. ask for 1.5 trillion dollars, brag about. record spending, and then tell us that. the stockpile shortage is still somehow. Joe Biden's fault a year and a half. later. At some point, this becomes. yours. You had the budget, you had the. time, you had total control of the. Pentagon, total control of the entire. legislative branch, total control of the. government. If the stockpile is still. thin, that's not a hangover from the. last guy, it is a management failure.
that happened on your watch, with your. money, under your Secretary of Defense. In fact, I guess we shouldn't be. surprised that Mike Waltz tries to blame. Joe Biden, considering this guy even. blamed Signal Gate, wherein he discussed. war plans in a Signal thread that he. started where he invited a reporter on. Joe Biden as well. >> One of the things that I was briefed on. very early, Senator, was by the CIA. records management folks about about the. use of Signal as a permissible work use.
It is. That is a practice that preceded. the current administration to the Biden. administration. >> I've got a series of questions. I I. Do you If you're making the statement If. you're making the statement that Signal. is a secure channel. >> No, can I can I answer that? >> It is. >> It has end-to-end encryption, so. >> It is. >> It is permissible to use to communicate. and coordinate for work purposes. provided provided Senator that any. decisions that are made are also.
recorded through formal channels. So, those were procedures that were. implemented. my staff implemented those processes. followed those processes complied with. those processes and and and finally just. please. So, >> I'll tell you what, I really hope that. Joe Biden has some good liability. insurance because if Mike Walls ever. trips going up the stairs, I have a feeling I know who's going to. be at fault here. But it's not just Mike. Walls. It is the entire administration.
having learned from Donald Trump that. you can always blame the last guy. Here's the Secretary of Agriculture just. a few weeks back on NewsNation getting. pushed back for attempting the exact. same diffusion of responsibility. >> Diesel prices now at 520 per gallon. It's about a buck 50 than before the war. started. What do you tell the ag. community right now who's who's dealing. with that? >> Well, there's no doubt that our farm. economy is is in a challenging time, right? Inputs.
under the last administration up by. about 40% even with those diesel prices. that you just mentioned and I'm not. under you know under playing that that's. not important, but that's still less. than it was during the Biden years. Now. we got it down way lower before Iran. happened, but we're still battling to. bring those input prices down not just. gas, diesel, fertilizer, seed, labor, etc. And those are all coming down also. opening up the markets, but we're going. to get there and the president's. leadership on this is paramount. The.
next year our exports are going to hit. record numbers. Our inputs are going to. keep decreasing and and we're going to. get out of this in a in a big way. >> I I hear you on the Biden. administration, but but your. administration's been in office for for. 18 months now and obviously this is a. war under this current president. The the blueprint that was just passed. calls for $12 billion. in farm aid. It's normally a. conservative principle of government. shouldn't be picking winners and losers, right? And obviously the farmers are. getting help while other industries are. not. How do you square that?
>> Well, I think that what we are looking. at, and I've really spent a lot of the. last 18 months talking about farm. security is national security. The the rural America, obviously a very. important part of keeping America free. and and and the ideas of our founding. fathers, but it's much more than that. It really is national security. >> See how convenient? Always Biden's. fault. They want all this power, but are. still falling over themselves to be. these helpless little victims in the. fetal position, powerless to affect any. change. And that right there is the real.
story, bigger than just munitions or. fertilizer. It is that nothing is ever. their fault, ever. Inflation, Biden's. fault, even a year and a half in. The. stock market, Biden's fault. A depleted. weapon stockpile in the middle of a war. that they chose to escalate, also. somehow Biden's fault. This is a White. House that has fully inverted the oldest. rule in the book of the presidency, that. the buck stops with the president, the. guy in charge. In this White House, the. buck never stops anywhere. It just keeps.
getting punted backwards forever to an. administration that left office a year. and a half ago and counting. And when. that excuse gets too thin to hold up, like it did today in real time on live. television, notice how the fallback is. never honesty, is never taking. responsibility for what they've done, it's always just threats. Walls' answer. to being caught in his own contradiction. was simply, "These people leaking this. deserve to be in jail." In other words, when the excuses run out, they don't. take responsibility, they just go after.
the people who are telling the truth, who deigned to tell the truth. First. it's Biden's fault, then it's not even. happening, and then if you keep asking. questions, maybe you belong in a cell. That's not accountability, it is the. opposite of accountability. It's an. administration that has spent a year and. a half building an entire governing. philosophy around never once saying the. words that happened on our watch, no. matter how much money, how much time, or. how much power they've had to fix it. And today, in front of a nationally.
televised audience, we got to watch that. philosophy short circuit in real time. because you cannot blame a guy for a. problem that you are simultaneously. insisting doesn't exist. So, pick one, Mike, because you don't get both. Before you go, one quick request. It's. become clear to me that this White House. is dead set on preventing me from. reaching any audience. Trump's decision. to put me as the first name on his. enemies list is a testament to that. But. I didn't quiet down then, and I won't do. it now. So, please do me a favor and.

And together, let's make sure that we. send a message to this administration. that all they're doing by attacking me. and independent media is making our. platforms all the more powerful. Thanks.
