joint chiefs of staff general mark milley. you will remember it was milley who talks trump out of using the insurrection act on civilians during the 2020 protests following the killing of george floyd, pushing back against trump when he reportedly told officials to "crack the skulls or just shoot" those protesters. trump then used milley as a prop for his entourage walk for a follow-up to episcopal church in washington, which upheld a bible upside down after protesters were forcibly cleared from lafayette square. milley, to his credit, peeled off before the group that also included attorney general bill barr, trump's hatchet man, got to the church. he later apologized to numbers of the military, infuriating trump. but perhaps general milley's most notable accomplishments took place in the period between the 2020 election and biden's inauguration, where he fought seemingly daily battles to protect our democracy from donald trump's determination to destroy it. milley vowed during those months that there would be no coup on his w

milley a moron. he added that the man he picked to be defense secretary, mark esper, called him a, quote, woke fool. obviously this is after what you referenced there. trump implied that general milley should be executed for treason. are those comments beyond the pale in your view? >> as i said, his earlier comments regarding general milley were inexcusable. and really have no place in the public debate. but i think it's one of the reasons why, despite what some of the national polls may show, i think republican primary voters know that we need new leadership, not just in the white house, but in the republican party. and that's why i'll be back in iowa first thing in the morning, and we're going to continue to take our case of a commitment of that broad-based conservative agenda that's defined our movement for years. but also, you know, i was inspire bid ronald reagan to become a republican and it was his conservative agenda. it was his optimism, and it was his civility, i think, that made it possible for him to lead an administration that revived the country. >> you talk about civility -- >> changed

last week that mark milley's relationship with china is so terrible that the punishment could be death. general milley retired yesterday. turkish government to meet the financial needs of reconstruction of earthquake affected areas owners of private cars and vehicles will receive higher taxes. accordingly , car owners are obliged. repay the annual tax of their vehicles even if they have already paid it. the beginning of the recurring tax scheme for cars and vehicles by the turkish government two months ago. with the application of this law, with the purpose and motivation of financing for the reconstruction of earthquake-affected areas, vehicles were obliged to pay the current annual tax once again. they take the tax from all the cars, even my 15, 20 years old cars. i cannot afford these taxes to provide after the implementation of repeated tax exemptions, the people's republican party, the largest opposition party to the government , filed a complaint with the constitutional court, requesting that this law be repealed and that the collected sums be committed to the owners of the earth

i'm not sure why mark milley is so sure.t talking to people and doing things differently than we did in 2016, why are you so confident in a different outcome? i mean, please remember, this is the third time donald trump will get the presidential nomination from the republican party in three consecutive elections. that is not a mistake. it is not an accident. it is an affirmative endorsement. and unless those conditions change, i don't see a different outcome. >> amanda, let me just respectfully push back. at least what milley hid were examples of him pushing back. what mcconnell hides are examples of subservience. what mccarthy seeks to not reveal is, you know, yes, sir, sir yes, sir, i'll shut down the government. sir yes, sir i'll do -- at least what milley sought to keep private while he was the most senior military official in the united states of america representing the country around the world were examples of pushing back against an autocratic and in his view sometimes unconstitutional leader. what mcconnell and mcca

and so, some of the stunning words after reports that mark milley made that he contacted the chinese officials to warn them that, hey, donald trump is not planning to attack china in the final weeks of the presidency. and trump said that on social media that as time gone by, the punishment would have been death for milley. and he said they should be envesenves g envest gate -- investigated for treason, and is anybody going to take him on for these un-american threats. >> in the republican party, no. this is the consistent escalation of language from donald trump. we get the language of is that the same figure from 2016, and the same president that we saw throughout the next four years and the answer is no. with these statements of milley, and the removal of the deep state, and what the second term would look like, it is someone who is escalating the language, and becoming more hardened and isolated in the way of governing, and that is reflected in the words of mark milley here, but to the point, if you are going to ask the republican voters about the statement, many of them would say

i said, "have you talked to general mark milley? have you talked to the us government?" and indeed, he did, and eventually, he gives up control of some of the starlinks. he creates this new thing called starshield, which is a military version. he sells it to the us government and now the government gets to decide. so i think that's a good resolution. - that's probably where we should have been in the first place. - right, and it would have been good if the us government satellites had worked, if the viasat satellites had worked. his was the only one that worked. at one point, musk figures out, "man, i shouldn't be in the middle of this war." and he says to me, "we created starlink so people could watch netflix and chill and play video games. why am i in this war?" and so you see this evolution where he finally becomes a contractor so the us government can take control of these things, and it took a while, but you're right. no individual should be able to decide on a given night, "let me figure out whether we should allow this attack or not." it's probably best done by th

donald trump, referring to report that general mark milley was going to warn china if trump decided toh an attack, posting on social media that this is an act so egregious that in times gone by, the punishment would've been death. let's discuss this with cnn national security analyst james clapper. he's the former director of national intelligence. director clapper, trump saying that he would execute, or that we should execute, the nation's top general, have we become numb to all of this? >> well, since that we have. this is shocking, stunning, despicable, agree just, et cetera, but not surprising. it's really reprehensible for that to have been said. general milley served this country with long and greatest nation, 43 years. like all of us, he took the oath. and it bears repeating, i solemnly swear that i will support and defend the constitution of the united states against all enemies, foreign and domestic. and that i will bear true faith and allegiance to the same, not to the president, not to a king, dictator, not to any individual, but to the constitution. now, there will be all k

speaking to the bbc, general mark milley said colder conditions would make it much harder for ukrainedrones early on sunday, with debris falling in several districts. but ukrainian officials say no casualties have been reported. at least 10 explosions were heard in the capital, as air raid sirens sounded. a short while ago we spoke to paul adams, who is in kyiv for us. he's been speaking to ukrainian officials about the g20 summit declaration. it has been praised by russia and the us. here's what he had to say. the response from the spokesman at the foreign ministry yesterday was that there was nothing for the g20 to be proud about. in fact, he reprinted the words of the g20 on the war in ukraine as if he was a teacher correcting a pupil's homework, scoring out the references to "the war in ukraine" and replacing them with the phrase "the war against ukraine" and including the word "aggression" because last year, last november when the g20 addressed this subject, they included a reference to russian aggression. that was conspicuously absent in the communique released in delhi yesterda
