[laughter] and the other reaction as well, if you're really that cool, wiry or not a navy fighter pilot like a maverick because i was on a destroyer and live ships not to be honest with you, really honest i desperately wanted to be a navy fighter pilot when i was young boy but i had a really traumatic experience at an airport that made aviation really difficult for me.

[laughing] and the other reaction is they say, you know, if you're really that cool, why would you not an navy fighter pilot, like goose and maverick? because i was just destroyer ops. to be honest with you and really honest i desperately wanted to be a navy fighter pilot when i was young boy. but had a really traumatic experience at airport that made aviation really difficult for me.po [laughing] so here's what were going to do. i'm going to do this and about 25 minutes so were going to sail fast. want to talk about the oceans. but what i really want to talk about is character. i need anyone to understand the difference between leadership, jim mattis was here a while back. i'm sure he talked about leadership. i'm not here to talk about leadership. i'm here

's navy officer.e came out of the naval academy late in the 50's, early 60's, something like that, and he served during the civil war. he found that he hated to be on a ship, which is not what you really want in a naval officer. he got seasick easily. he was much more bookish than the normal naval officer. he wanted to teach. he wanted to write books. he wanted to lecture. he had ideas. he winds up getting brought up to newport, rhode island, at a new school called the neifial war college that was 84.blished in the purposes of the naval war college was to train navy officers in a more strategic way, to think about something other than saling and moving ships. how do you move fleets, what do you do with ships, that sort of stuff. he really thrived with that, and he taught there for a while . and then he started to realize more. could actually do he could reach bigger audiences . he tried to he writes this book called "the influence of sea power upon history." it comes out of his lectures. it comes out

secretary of the navy in the obama administration, you were critical of the navy's decision to fire captainu make of their recommendation and what do you think secretary esper's calculus is on this? >> this is what should have happened in the first place, do investigation and find the facts. i said last time it's inconceivable that somebody like captain crozier, first thing he would have done is send out memo like this. specs that came out says he didn't. went through chain of command and only a last desperate act that he did. he was proven correct. 856 sailors have tested positive, lost one sailor chief that died. and what this shows is the danger of putting politics into what ought to be a purely military decision. acting secretary said he fired captain crozier because he quote wanted to get out ahead of the president and didn't want to get crossways with trump. and i hope that what secretary esper is doing is reading that report and deferring to the navy leadership, cno, to the chain of command in the navy. what i think would be incredibly dangerous is if he's checking with the white hou

and our navy personnel could not be in better hands, quite honestly. it's just a pleasure to be able to provide the federal support on the title x active-duty side of the house, and be in support of the governor in the general and the mayor in this effort to fight this pandemic war. we have a total of about 8000 of our active-duty and u.s. army reservists that are out on the augmenting as well, about eight different states across the nation. this is just absolutely unprecedented, the type of support we are providing. because normally it is in support of hurricanes or floods or earthquakes. and it impacts maybe at the most six different states, not the entire country like what we are seeing with the coronavirus. so, i absolutely want to support -- provide that support and our medical professionals. i am so proud of the medical profession or's debt iofessionals, the doctor -- am so proud of the medical professionals. i get to visit them and see them on the front lines, see the support of they are providing patients, and the much needed support. a lot of

i'm joined by democratic congresswoman of virginia a retired navy commander herself. today she called on the secretary of defense to fire the acting secretary of the navy from making those comments today. congress woman, what so disturbed you about those comments you would call for him to be fired? >> well, early this morning when i first saw these on social media, my husband showed them to me and i said you got to be kidding me. i thought this was literally something from the onion that he could not have flown half way around the world to visit the aircraft carrier, speak over the announcing system on the ship and berate the man he just fired. we saw the crew much loved captain crozier in a difficult time going through the pandemic where the crew is at risk, he put himself on the line to make sure the crew got what they needed to stay safe and the secretary of the navy flying forward to do that has so many far-reaching effects not only on the crew of the "theodore roosevelt" but i heard from dozens of my former colleagues. the people i served with graduated from the

navy you are here staffing these beds here at the midcity campus. incredibly important and making -- to us in making a tremendous difference. welcome to louisiana, each and every one of you. as i said, i'm grateful for the team here at baton rouge general. and if you look not just here in baton rouge, but across the state and the country, if you are looking for heroes today, they are our health care professionals. they are our nurses, doctors, everybody coming together to work so hard and so well to save lives and to improve lives. and when we pray to god that we will provide comfort and peace to these covid patients, and healing to them, you know, he sends health care professionals. so it really is an answer to our prayer. and so we need to pray for those individuals. too, that they will have the grace and courage and the strength to be able to do what they are doing day after day and continue making that positive difference. and the support that we are getting from the navy is absolutely invaluable, and we really would appreciate it. and look, thi

and i feel for the navy. in a very tough spot, because they're being told, number one, take care of your people. but number two, keep doing all your missions. keep being ready for anything. and that captain put it very well. in you're in a war, then yes, we're going to take a chance. we're going to take a chance on this virus spreading. but if you're not, don't do it. take the precautions. surge a marine field hospital that's got some icu beds, that can take care of people. the carrier itself has a fairly large hospital on it. not many icu facilities, but to take care of the people who don't need the intensive icu things. there are things that can be done. but they're in a very tough place, because they're being told by the secretary of defense do both these things, and he's keying off what this president is saying. you know, keep doing your normal things, but by the way, protect yourself. >> former governor of the great state of mississippi, former secretary of the navy, speaking out today about the fact tha

maybe the secretary of the navy only? >> well, no, i don't think they expected he'd send it directly up to the secretary of the navy. i think there are probably legitimate questions to be asked. and i think that's what the navy is trying to get at here. how the communication process unfolded, and the degree to which he actually did respect the full chain of command. but i don't think it's fair to say nobody in the chain of command were aware of his concerns or even aware of that memo before it leaked in the san francisco chronicle. so there may be legitimate questions about how he communicated this, and that's fair. i think they should get at the root of that. but i don't think that it rises, what he did and how he did it, rises to the level of him being removed, particularly at this very sensitive time aboard the ship. >> rear admiral john kirby, good to see you. thank you so much. be well. >> you bet. >>> coming up -- a conversation with senate minority leader chuck schumer. we'll get his thoughts on the federal respons
