00:00Do you believe that that's what's happening? Perhaps Trump is surrounding himself with people who tell him what he wants
00:06to hear?
00:07So I don't know. I mean, there's certainly some element to this that the president gets to choose who his
00:11advisors are if they have the ability.
00:14And I would know, for example, if the current chairman, General Cain, has the ability to push back.
00:20If he does, that's that's his job. If the president chooses not to accept his advice, that's also well within
00:28his wheelhouse.
00:28It's just the ability to do so without being forced out.
00:33I don't know if that's the case, but that's certainly what people are looking at with this level of people
00:38inside the Pentagon, I should point.
00:40That's where this issue is probably most pronounced.
00:42And that's probably more so having to do with the secretary of defense's stance on these issues.
