The Adam Mockler Show - Trump RAGES at Cabinet as it FALLS APART

Starting point is 00:00:00 Check this out. Five years ago, on January 3rd of 2020, Trump's current director of national intelligence tweeted out, quote, we do not seek regime change. Trump declares as he escalates his regime change war against Iran. Neocons like Graham slash Bolton are cheering to all who voted for Trump because of his anti-war rhetoric. It's time to realize he lied to you. Stand with me against Trump's Iran war. Hashtaghtag Trump's war. That was Tulsi Gabbard. Trump's current Director of National Intelligence, and it feels like everybody who had once criticized Trump, like Ben Shapiro or Tulsi Gabbard, or Marco Rubio used to be anti-Trump, they all now have collective amnesia and are walking lockstep with Trump as he escalates this war with Iran. I want to talk about Tulsi Gabbard and Trump's relationship because it seems to be splintering. Not only did Trump lose confidence in Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, but we're also learning that Trump raged at Pete Hegeseth in a phone call over the birthday parade. Let's start here. Then I want to dig into Trump's splintering relationship with multiple key figures within his cabinet.

Starting point is 00:01:09 Here's the problem Trump is run into. During his first term, he had an incredibly high turnover rate with a bunch of people in his cabinet, despite choosing the best people. In his second admin, he's been trying to keep the turnover rate low because he wants there to be key, loyal people in certain positions. care how experienced they are or how, you know, skilled they are, he cares about how loyal they are. And he is so stubborn in not having a turnover rate this time around and not being wrong that he refuses to remove anybody. Like Signalgate, for example, when Signalgate

Starting point is 00:01:47 happened, any normal president would immediately gut their entire Department of Defense appointee and all the people around him and replace them immediately. But Trump does not want to do that. he cares more about loyalty than competence, and here's where the problem lies. Trump apparently raged at Hegeseth over a birthday parade where military had too much fun. President Donald Trump was mad, arguing that soldiers were, quote, hamming it up. Wolf appeared on the Daily Beast podcast saying that the president wanted a menacing show of force in honor of the Army's 250th and his 79th birthday. Instead, he got a festive parade.

Starting point is 00:02:25 Quote, he's pissed off at the soldiers, he said. he's accusing them of hamming it up. And by that, he seems to mean that they were having a good time, that they were waving, that they were enjoying themselves, and showing a convivial face rather than a military face. Social media users, and everybody noted that the soldiers weren't really walking in lockstep. Quote, he kind of reamed out Heggseth for this, Wolf said to the president. Apparently, there was a phone call, and he said to Hegsteth, the tone was all wrong. Why was the tone wrong?

Starting point is 00:02:55 Who staged this? There was a tone problem. Trump, he keeps repeating himself, and he kept repeating himself on the phone call. Why was the tone wrong? Why was the tone all wrong? Quote, it didn't send the message that he apparently wanted, that he was the commander in chief. And here lies the problem with Donald Trump. He prioritizes optics over everything else, even when it comes at the deficit or the detriment of our military. He only prioritizes optics.

Starting point is 00:03:21 That's why he's currently losing faith in Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard. Check out this clip. The IC continues to assess that Iran is not building a nuclear weapon, and Supreme Leader Kamenei has not authorized the nuclear weapons program that he suspended in 2003. The IC continues to monitor closely if Tehran decides to reauthorize its nuclear weapons program. Mr. President, you've always said that you don't believe Iran should be able to have a nuclear weapon. But how close do you personally think that they were to getting one? Because Tulsi Gabbard testified in March that the intelligence community said, Iran wasn't building a nuclear weapon.

Starting point is 00:03:58 I don't care what she said. I think they were very close to happen. I don't care what she said, Trump says, of his director of national intelligence. So if he's not doing the daily press briefings, and he's not even listening to Tulsi Gabbard, which I don't know if you should listen to Tulsi Gabbard, then that means he's just going by raw instinct or whatever Stephen Miller says or whatever the last person told him. President Trump reportedly angered by intelligence chief social media warning against war mongers. So this reads, as he weighs joining Israel's war against Iran, it seems very likely that we're joining now.

Starting point is 00:04:30 I mean, I don't want to speculate entirely, but if I personally had to place money, I would say that we will be joining in some way. We've already been providing a lot of support via intelligence. President Trump has repeatedly found himself at odds with the Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, with one White House official saying that he has, quote, just been kind of down on her in general. The president was recently incensed, according to Politico, by Gabbard's decision. to post a three-minute video on X warning about political warmongers. Let's check out a part of this video. I recently visited Hiroshima in Japan

Starting point is 00:05:03 and stood at the epicenter of a city that remains scarred by the unimaginable horror caused by a single nuclear bomb dropped in 1945, 80 years ago. It's hard for me to find the words to express what I saw. the stories that I heard, the haunting sadness that still remains. This is an experience that will stay with me forever. Honestly, the video that Tulsi Gabbard posted isn't even that bad. I mean, she talks a lot about the history of Hiroshima.

Starting point is 00:05:38 She talks about the fact that we should not be getting into wars. But Trump was pissed, according to Politico, because he took it as like an anti-war message, which it is. Inside the clashes between Trump and Gabbard, the director of national intelligence has rankled Trump with their statements about nuclear war, the president has suggested she's off message. Here's the thing, dude. Trump will only use anti-war messaging

Starting point is 00:06:01 when it benefits him politically. He'll only use anything when it benefits him politically. He is so openly transactional that he is very quickly, very radically alienated much of his voter base. I keep making videos about this, but Latinos for Trump are now pushing Trump away. Muslims for Trump are now pushing Trump away.

Starting point is 00:06:21 You can look at far. for Trump, who are mad at the aggressive deportations, Trump keeps overstepping or just blatantly going against what he promised to do. This brings me to this. As President Trump privately mulled, joining Israel's campaign against Iran, one member of his cabinet sent what he viewed as an audacious attempt to steer him in the opposite direction. At 5.30 a.m. on June 10th, director of national intelligence Tulsi Gabbard tweeted a cryptic three-minute video, warning that, quote, political elite and warmongers are, quote, carelessly fomenting fear and tensions between nuclear powers and that the world is on the brink of nuclear annihilation.

Starting point is 00:06:59 Trump saw the unauthorized video and became incensed, complaining to associate at the White House that she had spoken out of turn according to three people familiar with the episode, two of them inside the administration, and all granted an omnibity to describe sensitive dynamics. Her post came a few days after Israel Hawks met with Trump at the White House to lobby him to support Israel's attack on Iran. In the eyes of Trump and some close to it, him, Gabbard was warning him not to greenlight Israel attacking Iran. Trump even expressed his disapproval to her personally, the three people said. Quote, I don't think he dislikes Tulsi as a person, but certainly the video made him not super hot on her. And he doesn't like it

Starting point is 00:07:38 when people are off message. So the point that I'm trying to draw is Trump is increasingly angry at people, not even for like the right reasons. When he's mad at Pete Hagsath, it's not because of signal gates. It's not even because of Signalgate part two. It's not because the terrible optics of it all, but it's because the military parade wasn't up to Trump's standard. It's disgusting.
