and when secretary rumsfeld came out of the anesthesia, he resumed his duties. this shouldn't be complicated. the fact they've allowed this to turn into a massive news cycle, something that should be really routine, is really quite shocking. >> let me get your response to this because just moments ago, the u.s. secretary of state antony blinken, who is in the middle eastern region had this to say. let's listen. >> i wasn't aware of his medical issue. in fact, i talked to lloyd last weekend before this incident, and i know that he's put out a statement addressing it. >> all right. so, what's your point of view? i mean, the secretary of state didn't know. you just gave an example of how, when rumsfeld was being hospitalized, everyone knew. i don't know if everyone outside of dod you're talking, the secretary of state at that time as well would know. is it unusual that the secretary of state wouldn't know about the defense secretary's condition? >> it's really extraordinary to me. and now from the nfc perspective, from the national security council staff, you have

you were an aide to donald rumsfeld, good to see you, thank you for being here.tin did not disclose that he had to go to the hospital. his number two was on vacation, there's nobody running the defense department, should he be fired for this? >> good to see you, happy primary season. it is really extraordinary. if you know anything about the responsibilities of the secretary of defense and he takes an oath to fulfill the duties and protect the american people this is a shocking dereliction of duty and yes i think the president almost has to fire him, this is malpractice of anyone in the cabinet to make the president look this week and out of touch that he didn't even notice. the secretary of defense was gone for four days. they apparently had no reason to communicate during that time. it's also a huge process problem, imagine if we had a crisis in the red sea for example during the time. , the president wants to call an emergency national council meeting and he can't get either the secretary of defense or his deputy who is in puerto rico to attend. this is a big

united states of america. is which was the us secretary of defense, according to the information i have, rumsfelded for the closest cooperation between science corporation and other pharmaceutical giants in the us, with the military department of the united states of america, and specifically with the biological laboratories of the us department of defense, located at fort detrick. this is a us military base, on the territory of which research in the field of military biology is being conducted. what is noteworthy: fort detrick became famous back in the forties, when many prisoners of war of the former imperial army were taken there japan, which were directly involved in the work of detachments 731 and detachments 100. of the imperial japanese army, these detachments, i recall, were engaged in the development of biological weapons and testing them on captured red army soldiers and ordinary residents of china. in harbin, china , work continues on the creation of a museum of unit 731, which is also called the devil’s laboratory. the japanese army was developing bacteriological weapons here, and pai

defense of parmesan was important that the president to know about this an into thousand six, donald rumsfeldense secretary who underwent shoulder surgery with local indecision actually informed us deputy who took power for a couple of hours while rumsfeld was in surgery and here you have the defense secretary, in intensive care about for days and as you said, the president does not know national security council glissando as deputy does not know when the oversight committee on capitol hill, i don't know thank you so much byron york and will have you back on again soon and coming up we have former michigan candidate, dixon fired up and ready to go former president barack obama is joining going for subtopic democrats and warning president biden could lose to trump and we have house oversight year james, with a snacks on the update on holding hunter biden in contempt, fortifying a congressional subpoena, to justify biden impeachment inquiry the news all of this, and the evening edit coming up. trading at schwab is now powered by ameritrade, giving traders even more ways to sharpen their skills

i mean, remember, donald rumsfeld, for example, no one knew of rumsfeld that much. he had an opportunity as secretary of defense, he kind of defined himself. pete buttigieg had an opportunity as secretary of transportation to define himself. he has dropped the ball precipitously. he has not performed. if you are voting for somebody for vice president, that's kind of interesting, but i also would like to know who he blames for the fact that she, in his terms, has disappeared. she has been totally ineffective. dick cheney, does anyone think dick cheney wasn't effective. does anyone think mike pence wasn't effective? they played vital -- al gore reportedly had vital roles in the clinton administration. it doesn't matter whether you created policy, when you get that job, it's up to you to do something. >> ainsley: do you know what i love charlamagne said. i'm not looking for a politician to be pure. i'm looking for my politician to be effective because, if you look at both of these guys, if it's donald trump and joe biden. can you say they have their laws, whatever they

." >> you know, rumsfeld had a saying, if you can't solve a problem, make it bigger.ld that work in this case? we have a problem that has been so difficult to solve between israel and hamas. could making this conflict bigger be helpful, or is this something that is of great concern and alarm, do you think? >> there has been concern about the wider war, but it's also true that the u.s. and israel both believe that iran does not want to see a direct confrontation with either the united states or israel. so if you expand it to the point that you're near that confrontation, there is some natural pressure to begin to de-escalate it. none of the parties want it. in the short run, i think that these individual proxies will continue to act. they'll want to show, we're as tough as those houthis. you could get a spike up in violence. i think the israelis, for the moment, feel calmer than they did a couple weeks ago about their northern border. >> right. you know, i've been searching for years, susan, for the worst geopolitical advice in american history, and you just provided i

i've been saying this morning, i've been sort of tweaking the famous donald rumsfeld line. that you go to an election with the world that you have when you're president, not the world you want. >> right. >> this is not the world that any president wants, particularly one in the middle of an election year. >> without question. look, i think as you said, this is going to be a decision that is remembered without a doubt. look, if you look at the arch of joe biden's policy view, i mean, he has long been very skeptical about the u.s. involvement in iraq and the middle east, much more so than a few of his predecessors, actually. look, now, this is what he is dealt. he says, "i don't think we need a wider war in the middle east. it's not what i'm looking for." it's not what he is looking for, but he can't control what is about to happen. someone asked a question in the briefing yesterday that really touched off john kirby, who said he is not doing this because of polling. i think that's likely true. the political fallout of this is very dangerous for president biden among his demo

as secretary of defence and pleased to hear that his prognosis is good, but i worked for secretary rumsfeld secretary of defence, and there are certain things that this individual is obligated to do, certain responsibilities that only he or she can perform. so the fact that the president didn't know the secretary of defence had cancerfor president didn't know the secretary of defence had cancer for however long that has been is extraordinary, because you would think that is something you might want to share it with your boss when you're in that kind of position. that i don't think he is something that you necessarily have to share with the american people but your boss needs to know in the event that something like this happens and then you have to be prepared in the event that something like this that predictably could happen that the proper processes are in place and that exists. there's already a model for that. so this is just befuddling that nothing normal happened over the course of the last week to make sure our defences were be adequately manned. thea;r week to make sure our defence
