secretary Hegsth the president um at a press gaggle just now at the White House said of strikes against Iran Senator Shaheen’s question I may do it I may not do it I mean nobody knows what I’m going to do Um you had referred to these questions as presidential level decision Is that right um and I I I think that’s always true Advisers advise and presidents decide Um but it’s your job to have contingency plans for everything that the president may or may not decide Is that correct uh that is correct And no one should be surprised or scandalized that the Pentagon has lots and lots of contingency plans Uh Senator our job is to have contingency plans It’s like in Armageddon Billy Bob Thornton’s character Truman speaking of NASA could have been speaking to the Pentagon You you’re geniuses You’re just thinking stuff up and you got people in another room backing them up Is that right we plan Thank you Um and although it’s true in every part of the government it’s probably no more true in your department that it’s a presidential level decision This is the president’s core constitutional responsibilities as the commander-in-chief I mean it’s important what he does with labor and HUD and the rest but as the commander-in-chief it’s the most important role he has And therefore you’re the department where you take the most direct guidance from the president Everyone in the department has to support the president’s decisions once those decisions are made Correct Correct Senator As I’ve said uh there’s only one person that was elected president of the United States Yeah And the American people elected him to make these decisions on their behalf And if and when those decisions are made the department is prepared to execute The president welcomes I’ve watched it in real time views on all issues from all aspects Uh but yes once those have been represented intelligence represented options represented uh upsides downsides threats of course when the president makes a call as the commander-in-chief uh we will execute Well thank you Cuz I I know there was some controversy earlier this year inside the department and not everyone seemed to be on the same page that you and the president are um after presidential decisions had been made and you had to make some tough decisions there and I commend you for those decisions I think he did the right

Weak questions
Two stupid with nonsense smile on their stupid face. They are humiliating the nation take that smirk out of your faces . For heaven’s sakes this is serious matter not an internal joke.
Senator Cotten that quote from Armageddon was spoken by Bruce Willis, not Billy Bob Thornton’s character Truman. He's never seen the movie. Lol 😆
Despicable. Two stupid fools!!
Constitution says congress only way to declare war! Then again tRUMP crossed his fingers and left his hand hovering over the Bible when he swore his oath to the constitution (just like everyone in his cabinet)!
Predator Pete! What a fool and douchebag!
