the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff has no involvement. so when you get somebody like that out there that has to have command and control, who is giving the orders? deputy secretary of defense did not know about it, how were the orders being processed, attacks in the middle east, how is that working and nobody gives a good answer. i think it's a big mistake. >> sandra: really important stuff. general keith kellogg, always good to have you join us. good to see you. >> john: those questions continue to swirl, one week until the iowa caucuses. republican candidates hoping to break through with voters there but is it really just a battle for second place? our panel, chris bedford and juan williams on what we can expect next monday coming up next. tried me felt more energy in just two weeks. -ugh. -here, i'll take that. woo hoo! ensure max protein, 30 grams protein, 1 gram sugar, 25 vitamins and minerals. and a new fiber blend with a prebiotic.

it has also created a dispute, why did the chief of the joint chiefs of staff of the zionist regime decide to finally form this group and make this appointment? see , this commission was formed very early, that is , during the 23-day war with hezbollah. yes, it was formed after the war. the commission that he formed now that we are in the middle of the war , it is a sign of how much pressure it is putting on the zionist army and it failed a very important issue. inevitably, on the 7th of october, it was an inevitable defeat after the 7th of october , when the zionist army entered gaza, this is very important for the army . the goals that determine the government of war, which netanyahu formed the war, yes, the war cabinet, 3 to the main goal, one of hamas. one of them is one of those zionist hostages , none of these three were realized, and i think it is too early. forming now, and i think this is the pressure on these issues now inside the zionist regime and the pressure on mr. netanyahu's government and that war cabinet is that , anyway, the head of this headquarters has formed the entir

authority to include notification of the white house chief of staff. and so that's the key here that the chief of staff now is saying make sure that if there is a delegation of authority or if there's one that is coming, that that information is conveyed directly to the white house chief to have staff as well as several others inside the white house. inside the situation room and inside these different agency's operations centers. the agencies were given a deadline of friday to make sure they submit these protocols and any updates that need to go with them to the white house to the office of the cabinet secretary. excuse me, the office of cabinet affairs as well as to the white house chief to have staff. this is the action that's coming now in light of obviously the reality around this information not having been conveyed to the national security adviser, to the national security council and to biden as it relates to secretary austin. >> we do wish him well. prostate cancer can be very serious. the president says he has no plans of relieving the secret

what kind of chief of staff doesn't have a desk? what does that mean when that's literally running around with his hair on fire? all didn't sit. and when you heard cassidy hutchinson testify for the january six committee, he's always on his couch, on his on his phone. so you kind of real. but yeah. okay. so january 6th, the you talk to trump yeah after and he tells you that not only did he is it true that he wanted to go he wanted the motorcade to turn around and take him right then and there after his rally to the capitol? yeah, but that when he was in the white, he was not responding to anybody for hours and hours and hours allowing that horrible riot to happen. murders right to happen. he wanted the secret service to take him to the capitol during the insurrection. yeah, so i have to confess, i didn't believe him at all. so i did. this was an interview. i did just a couple of months after he left the white house. and it was a very it was i wrote about it extensively in betrayal, because it was it was in this interview i did. he j

"the chief of staff is sick with the flu." the deputy is on vacation in puerto rico and is not coming back." you are now trying to may be asked sticky sammy to come to the situation room. that's how far down the totem pole you are going. i do not question austin's judgment. as a defense secretary, you are supposed to plan for contingencies. you are supposed to plan for worst-case scenarios. he didn't think anything could have gone wrong during a procedure at age 70? he's not telling him this. what else isn't he telling the commander in chief? i can't imagine what this would have been like if it happened during the trump administration. this would have been a constitutional crisis. this would have put all of our national security at stake. this would have been a change of command -- this would have been a chain of command -- they would have run the secretary of defense out of town by friday. they would've gone on the sunday shows and said "it's time to have the adults back in the room, this is a clown show." >> jeanine: he is a

the nato ukraine commission, chief of staff of nato and the council of chiefs of staff of nato russiai had the opportunity to work very actively on the integration of the ukrainian armed forces into democracy, so to speak. and i, i personally negotiated with three candidates for membership, exactly. with hungary, with the czech republic and poland. and after these negotiations, i came to the conclusion that russia is not against nato expansion on principle, as it is always presented. this is my personal perception. it may not be like that, but i came to this. the fact is that russia evaluates this from a strategic point of view, namely, what kind of country, due to its size. geostrategic position and military potential would change the balance of power between russia and nato to the detriment of russia, and here, of course, ukraine occupies the very first line, because of the size, because of the geostrategic position, because of the potential that this country will bring with it, and this must be understood. there is also a second point. when mr. stoltenberg says that ukraine will be

bagration's operations for the liberation of belarus, later in the defeated germany, chief of staff of occupation forces. this is all. machine tool building, production of road machines, construction mechanisms, mechanical engineering and metalworking became the leading industries in the belarusian economy, collective farms were restored everywhere, and the number of mtzs on state farms increased compared to the pre-war period. early fifties collectivization was almost completed in the western regions of belarus. so then, due to this, some kind of awareness of this process , these small collective farms began to slowly unite into a larger farm. the western region was turning into an industrially developed one: agricultural engineering, sugar industry, woodworking, energy, large enterprises producing building materials. industrial production alone has doubled here. could such a thing be imagined just recently, during the period polish occupation of belarusian lands. in general, belarus has achieved undeniable success in restoring the national economy. during that period there was a uniq

when you lay out the timeline, somebody informed the chairman of the joint chief of staff on january 2nd. why didn't that same person inform the deputy secretary of defense who is the second in command, who should have known because chain of control. it calls into some question about the relationship and who did what. who was in power, not empowered to make notifications. >> is the protocol clear? is it pretty clear here? >> it was during my tenure. my chief of staff was the interlock are between myself and the white house in most cases. also between myself and the secretary of defense. that person is a key job. one of the most important jobs in the pentagon. that person or their deputy has to be empowered and be able to make those notifications. to the president, and especially when you are in the middle of the situation in the middle east, you are constructing strikes in baghdad. that becomes a release really tricky situation. you want to be able to as the president, to pick up the phone and say what is going on? what do we need to do? the next course of action? other options? not

in the past days, the minister of war of the zionist regime, galant, as well as the chief of staff of the zionist regime, halavi, have repeatedly attacked hezbollah and lebanon. threatening large-scale attacks on southern lebanon, but at the same time, they are speaking gallantly. his words yesterday, after lebanon threatened to expand the war in the northern front of the occupied territories and southern lebanon , he said that we want to make arrangements for the settlers to return to the northern occupied territories. after announcing that the number of zionist soldiers in the north of occupied erazi is still increasing, halvi, the commander of the zionist regime's army staff, may face a big battle in the northern front of occupied erazi in the coming months , but he still said that we we are looking to return the settlers. this contradiction caused the media of the zionist regime , various newspapers such as miario, yediot aharonot, and also israel alyoun , to address these issues and announce that if the settlers can return to the north of the occupied lands, where the battle shou
