well let's get the thoughts of scott ritter scott a former united nations weapons inspector and former marine corps intelligence officer scott good to see you and a woman is dead after being shot how justified do you think the use of a firearm against actually bob it was yesterday. there's going to be an investigation the bottom line is a crowd of people illegally. sought to occupy and indeed occupy to a good portion of the united states capitol while congress is was in joint session bice president of the united states the number 2 man in america was was president. under no circumstances could law enforcement allow this crowd to gain access to areas where lawmakers including possibly the vice president were sheltered in place because of this this this attempt to occupy the capitol so you know under those circumstances lethal force is authorized whether or not they officer there's another video that shows that this was a very deliberate act on the part of the officer in question. the woman was surrounded by capitol police who were heavily armed they were making no effort to to stop her from moving in and she clearly had no we

scott ritter who is a former u.n. weapons inspector and former marine corps intelligence officer officer scott welcome to the program why did things come to a head over this bill double track must have known his veto wouldn't take me get very far at least been told that's what would happen. there was no chance that his veto would succeed to this the national defense authorization act is you know a bill that's very popular with the congress it gives congress a chance to you know to look patriotic to their constituencies to create the impression that they're strong on defense and if you put a lot of money in is lot of bipartisan support. and there is you know there is no way the president's veto is going to survive why the president in this new york i think the president right now is lashing out at just about. everything and everybody who is perceived as standing in his way he he thought that vetoing this he might be able to leverage sums to put some pressure on congress regarding section 230 of the communications decency act that is the part of the law that protects you know social media providers from from lawsuits the president has a grudge against twitter and he believes by getting 2 threes at section 3 to the 0 revoked that he could strike back against twitter but you know whatever the legitimacy or are not of the president's case against twitter congress does not view that as being equal to. you know legitimate national security. issues and congress is going to pass this bill there's no way congress was not going to pass this bill that was one of the tangential issues in this massive bill that donald trump issue with the what about when i mention a bit earlier he was at all this with the paul the restricts the president's authority to bring home troops from overseas the president is commander in chief why is congress moved to the fact of the name at the present and so far it seems. well there's many in congress and believe that the president's moving too fast that that his decision to withdraw troops was a politically motivated decision taken out you know without due consideration to you know legitimate national concern is security concerns and they also believe that since the president is leaving office that these are decisions that should be made by the incoming administration and so congress is seeking to slow down the president's president's ability to act on his desire to withdraw the troops requiring detailed reports to be submitted to congress prior to trans being used to withdraw troops these reports we talk about the consequences of withdrawn what the president's doing to mitigate that the hope is that you know that the time required to research and write and deliver these reports is greater than the time left to the president and that the president won't be able to act on his and his desire to withdraw troops so with that in mind that scott with the biden administration going to have to deal with the consequences of all this will any of this episode they take that the reaction that the incoming by the ministrations going to have to take. it depends on how many troops have been pulled out what the situation on the ground in afghanistan is the fact of the matter is that the trumpet ministration. has united states on a trajectory to leave afghanistan altogether by may of this year. and you know when you withdraw troops down to 2500 which is the objective you create a situation where sustaining the numbers impossible there you can stay in afghanistan with 2500 troops you either have to continue to withdraw the troops dizzy or make a decision to significantly reinforce. this level back up to $8.00 to $10.00 or even more 1000 and i think that's the decision that's going to be confronting joe biden is do we continue with the withdrawal or do we carry out what would be a politically unpopular move of sending tens of thousands of
