Maybe BLM needs some white organizers with a grudge to help them plan.
General Hoopla didn't know any body name or the chain of command. But he did have all the merit badges. Except for HONESTLY, MORALS, COM PITTANCE, INTELLIGENCE,& PATRIOTISM !! GOMER!
The Marines at 8th & I St Marine Barracks need to be part of the react force. Tick, tock, tick, tock... Waiting for donald's shit-sandwich to be put under oath along with a few whistleblowers.
There are a lot of shit not being answered, 8 to 10 hours what a f this was an out of this country attack. This is bull shit
I brag about military preparedness but am furious they failed when needed. In an emergency. People dying. Fought for 4 hours. Prepare in advance. Not a great job at all
Piss poorest excuse. Finding the actions acceptable is unacceptable to America. CONSPIRACY IN ALL RANKS. This was all the way up. I hear unprepared. Wow
Didn't Trump's newly appointed (on Nov 9) Sec of Defense Christopher Miller have something to do with delaying guard deployment?
The national guard takes time to ready. They need briefed they need the right equipment for the situation that they're going to be doing. The capitol has their own police!! They're supposed to be the ones doing security. Get your facts straight Jake. Why don't you talk about why Pelosi refused the chief of polices request for extra security.why was there minimal law enforcement Jake? Stop playing with yourself and talk about the important shit. Jake Fapper you're a joke
Nothing like a handy bs response. Good for Jake.
Ask the chief if WHITE supremacists and cops keeps killing us, can we install Esther's Law from the bible and we can defend our self. This evil killing spree has to Stop.
Jake let's not lose sight of the forest here by spending too much time looking at the trees. The United States not only spends more money on our military than any other nation on the face of the earth we spend more than China, India, Russia, Saudi Arabia, France, Germany, United Kingdom, Japan, South Korea, and Brazil - combined. Defense spending accounts for 15 percent of all federal spending and roughly half of discretionary spending. And yet on 09/11/01 when the Pentagon was attacked the nearest F 16 fighter jet to our Nation's Capitol was Otis Air Force Base on Cape Cod! Now we are told that when Trump and his insurrections attack our Capitol it's going to take 8-10 hours for the National Guard to make a meaningful response? Hey I'm beginning to wonder if the billions and billions and billions we are spending on the military is money well spent? Or are we just propping up the thousands of military/industrial compact corporations President Eisenhower warned us about in the 1950s via $10,000 toilet seats and $1,000 screwdrivers? I can't help but wonder, for instance, how much we are paying the guy you are interviewing here? Inquiring minds want to know!
I would guess America would be the hardest place to rob a bank, have a go heroes, good guys with guns, tooled up cops etc this incident makes me think it may not be so secure after all , not that I intend to try, those days are gone, lol
this man is one big cluster fuck, if this was a riot from minorities they would have been there in minutes.
If 8-10 hours is a normal response time, why tf weren’t the NG’s of MA & NJ & whoever else prepped and equipped for crowd control and ready to go?? Or maybe some for crowd control, some for terrorism/active shooter events & some for whatever else they might need and on standby waiting at the DC border so that whichever group they needed would be ready for deployment almost immediately after briefing. Like he is the _hundredth_ old dude defending their obviously insufficient preparations with that “normal timeline” bullshit. I’m not expecting anyone to work miracles in the middle of a riot, I understand that they’re got standard practices and procedures and chain of command and blah blah blah... but I SERIOUSLY question why multiple leaders tasked with protecting our nation’s capital didn’t think that they _might_ need extra hands on deck to monitor a large gathering of people who have proven themselves repeatedly to be 1) violent 2) armed 3) crazy & conspiratorial. Like “hope for the best but prepare for the worst” is like the essence of disaster/crises mitigation for all levels of organized society. And in a related but still independent issue to the events of the riot I would like to know: in what ways _specifically_ did the preparation for the BLM protests in the summer differ from the MAGA protests on 1/6/21?? Other than optics, what other factors played a part in these differences? How many attempts to kidnap and murder state AGs and governors were intercepted by FBI by BLM activists vs. MAGA bros? How many coordinated acts of violence by BLM activists were stopped by FBI intelligence gathering? And anti-government right wing extremists?? How much talk was there among BLM protests to overthrow the federal government?? Annnd what about those MAGA bros? Who the fuck thought that overreacting to peaceful BLM protests this summer should somehow be rectified by insufficient show of force for clearly violent and armed white people with military experience and a game plan?? And what data were they looking at when they made that decision? Did they go with their gut feeling? Or did they ever compare the violent tendencies verses use of force of either groups side by side when making these decisions? Or did they just think “yeah we fucked up in the summer so let’s not make that same mistake this time” without any tangible analysis?? Like seriously, I have lots of fucking questions!! And yeah, as a woman of science, I always like to leave room for the possibility that I might be wrong, BUT I’ve got this hunch (supported by 250 years of American history) that the people in power MIGHT have unjustifiably overreacted to the Black protesters ...and underreacted to the violent White mobs. 😐
With all the warnings on social media about the impending insurrection how come the FBI, NSA or other police agencies not react to them? Wow what a failure
Another Liar
Since DC is not a state, DC National Guard is under the Control of the President. If they where held back, thats where the buck stops. We where ready to go before 4pm.
More evidence men in uniform in the USA are the weakling sheep of the nation, something I recognized overseas fighting alongside them.
They needed a battalion from the 82d Abn . . . Div Ready Force 1, ASAP, could have been there, in DC, on the ground, ready to go in 2 hours! . . . They should have been alerted and ready to go the previous evening, Jan 5th. In DC, around the Capital at 5AM on 6th . . . that's how real Patriots would have reacted, given the intel available. HEADS SHOULD ROLL !!!
Shame shame shame nothing but shame. We can never s old others ever again until we make things right here in our own backyard in our own home. FACTS!!!
ONLY ONE REASON FOR NO IMMEDIATE ACTION...AND THAT IS, THE RIOTERS FOR THE MOST GREAT PART IS THAT...THE GREAT MAYORITY OF THE RIOTERS WERE WHITE PRIVILEGED CITIZENS. FACTS!!!
He so full of crap his eyes are turning brown before our eyes!
The poor general is now a lying coward obviously covering his asses.
Man y'all sure do miss President Trump face it Jake he's gone .
So is he saying DC can't respond quickly because the mayor didn't give the go ahead? Wow they need to get their sh#t together!
Imagine if all these people were black
It's not the number of soldiers it's a number politics
The National Guard should have been briefed and waiting
he was ordered not to lnterfere he knows moore then he said he is fool of shit
Bunch of bull, cover up they know there job don't need to have meeting you are guards guard the building that easy. keep repeating steps involved bull bull bull I call it!!!👿👿
TRUMP SUPPOSERS had absolutely nothing to do with December 6th..It was Biden SUPPOSERS
This man can lie like the best of them
Such an incompetent man...he should be dismissed from his job !!!
Laziness and half-ass work is America then is what your saying General?
÷÷
We really look dumb and confused 🤔
8-10 hours to deploy is bullshit
Funny how they had troops when BLM were at the capital. But couldn't get troops in time for a insurrection
None of these people take responsibility. Just give a strait answer
Failed to respond.
Bull shit after bull shit do these clowns think we're stupid they knew all along that a riot might happen, but they can find the national guard when blm March , the whole system is racist from top to bottom
Are we supposed to believe that if this were literally an attack on the Capitol by an external terrorist group that mobilization of the guard to protect it would take 8 to 10 hours? We’re f*cked. In this instance of domestic terrorism we clearly saw how politics played a pivotal part in deployment of our troops. Last summer there was 0 problem having RE guard surround the district and “protect” the Capitol and other federal buildings. We were told last year by Homeland Security Chief that the reason troops and DEA were deployed to Portland and Seattle was to protect federal buildings. 😳 Did I miss something or is the U.S. Capitol not a federal building! Even this general being interviewed by Jake is full of it! He knows what, when, how and why? He just won’t admit it.
Pretty sure MANY foreign powers are taking note about all this mess
The abrasive grey simplistically learn because glue monthly print against a safe representative. tall, disgusted edger
"Convict Trump"the evidence is indisputable. What makes these domestic terrorists any different than Qaeda and isis or the Taliban. Vote blue in 2022
The general is a real little weasel.
Trump ordered him to back off. Treason.
OUR MILITARY AND/OR NATIONAL GUARD IS A BIG MESS BECAUSE DEMOCRATS LET TOO MANY IN THAT WEAKEN THE ABILITY AS A FIGHTENING FORCE...
True facts : 98.5 % of trailer park residents are Trumpers and 99.3 % of Trumpers are below average intelligence !!
I thought there was a Marine barracks less than 15 minutes away?
They did everything they could Meet all the planning factors ?????? That’s it Great job???????? Hate to break it to you but you did not do a great job
Look here , they didn't even have the amount of security they should have had!!, so ask Nancy Pelosi WHY?
Ask Pelosi, she refused back up if you remember so did her assistant there , so why are you grilling this officer. And why are you asking if Trump had anything to do with all this? Your so predictable lol. No questions are being asked don't worry they will get the truth
They all need to step down
Disappointing
This guy must've studied under Kayleigh McEnany with alternative facts.
I wonder why? Two reasons, Trump appointed his own minnions, he fired the first three layers of people in charge...at pentagon, plus does the name Flynn have anything to do with it? Statehood for Washington DC, Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico, asap.....Maybe since USA has an AG, we might get some true answers. Okay he is saying, USA has National Guard Members that don't have National Guard training? They only do traffic control? Trump first tweet [ I didn't call out National Guard, Pence did. } Statehood to protect Washington DC....against ALL intruders, Foreign, and Domestic..[ Dumpsters and BLM ] I see no difference in any rioters...They are law breakers no matter who they are, if they their to cause harm, and destruction....Protesters are not rioters....
I really respect chain of command and doing things that actually help rather than create additional problems. But that was total crap and not even well thought out 💩
Every time he responds, all I hear is Charlie Brown’s teacher.
You know damned well Flynn was on that call and that decision. 😠
We will find out the king of Grifters pulled all the strings and should be guilty of treason !
Everyone and their uncle foresaw the trouble brewing for days before January 20th. This was done on purpose not to be prepared. That no one seems to know how this happened is a lie, someone knows and they are not telling the truth.
Something is very fishy. If we cannot protect our capitol then what the hell. I believe that this goes back to trump all the way.
Charles Flynn was proven to be in the same room. Stop the BS. Flynn took 2 oaths. One to Uphold The Constitution AND the other with GenFlynn & family to QAnon! We have watched THAT VIDEO MANY TIMES NOW. QAnon was the winner with Charles Flynn at The Pentagon. Unbelievable! Now what's the next step? Charles Flynn gets away Scott free?
To quote a old comedian "Whose on first?"
Those two look alike
When he first found out. How can he first find out after the fact, when everyone knew it was going to happen months before the election? Our "National Unteligence," is not that stupid.
Why delay? Simple, the insurectionalists where white, we saw how the BLM protectors where received. And to make it seem bad, trum had one of his Confederate followers set the church on fire so they could blame BLM, and justify their actions.
I started watching this and then noticed it was the king of garbage news CNN. BYE!
The dodge is laughable and sad.
He lied when he said he wasn't on the call but knew who was! Want to see the response to BLM protests in June 2020 ispast.info/losk/v-deo/o3V8YX6btajNhJI.html&ab_channel=TheTelegraph, and the thugs on Jan 6th? No excuse! A fucking disgrace!
BOGUS, their is no excuse
8 to 10 hrs. Are you kidding. The United States military can't do anything while someone has broke in the government. The ball was dropped big time. Some folk don't need jobs.
Just tell the truth about it because they were not black, and because the grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan who resided on Pennsylvania Avenue at the time he loved it
Cancel CNN this isn't necessary this is cancer harmful to America.
Yes they was on the call also trump directed it .he fired people who would do the right thing and. install his on .and knew what to do when time came.and that was nothing..
This is BS> This whole chain of command should be dismissed and EXPOSED for the deaths of Americans. BULLSHIT walks in this man's army. Friggin TRAITORS.
Jake the milirary are like big guard dogs...mainly bipartisan...few are libs, few are racist...but single minded in thinking...awaiting call to kill 24/7
How could the news man question a person who had orders from their boss everything is ok no additional help is needed
Needs to be investigated
Bull shitif BLM the military would have deployed immediately
Asking people who was in the Capital how many body language of how people walking fast or who walk normally ?
Foreign enemies are happy to hear that it takes "8 to 10 hours" to get our military ready for defense from Baltimore to D.C.
Police, unmarked police, and the National Guard were activated during the protest in Washington D.C. Cops on horses pepper sprayed peaceful protestors so Trump could do his shitty ass Bible op. But when the Capitol was breached, no security could be activated in a timely manner?! What the F???!!!
But they had warning it was going to happen
This interview was before President Biden kicked all those military members out of the Capital Building to sleep in a parking garage in the middle of winter right? That was so nice of the president to show his appreciation for the protection he received by kicking them out of the Capital Building...I don't even let my dogs sleep outside ever and especially not in the winter.
Glad to hear Jake Tapper bring up Mike Flynns brothers actions in the loop at the Pentagon that day of delay
This guy makes it clear that there was no intention to prepare the Capitol for trouble, despite FBI knowing that trouble was to be expected. Do these agencies not speak to each other or was there a darker reason?
9-11 proves that the Pentagon is Liars. They will till this day not show footage of an airplane going into the Pentagon. If they could scam the public all this time about a plane flying into the Pentagon, look at the metals on his chest of Lies.
This general is such aliar
This is a serious cluster fuck and was arranged by Trump deliberately and it is called treason!
The world watched this event just how we watch those black & white civil rights marches crackdowns.
Spoken like a true patriot...trying not to get the guard caught in politics. They should have been "equipped" when they went for "traffic control" with their 'equipment' close by. I understand the DC police didn't want a repeat of what Frump looked like storming the church. But the FBI warned everyone about right wing radicals. And the plants Frump and Co. put in the Pentagon were deliberate to gum up or stop any meaningful response if possible. It's plain Frump did anything and everything he could for a coup including considering martial law thanks to some of his crazier advisers like Powell whose radical bs got here thrown off the defense team early on. Twelve prosecutors threatened to quit on the spot to keep him from putting in a 'FLEXIBLE' acting AG to pressure Georgia to throw the election his way, which included someone else in charge of the guard and martial law. The optics were too bad as the adults in the room finally convinced him thanks to the threatened mass exit. Between Juliani, Powell and the my pillow guy, Frump was getting a substantial amount of crazy information, which seems to be the kind he prefers. Thank God he's gone...for now.
Part of the coup!!
What does "get them properly equipped" mean, exactly? What would have been the result if Maryland had went in,without being correctly asked?
This is exactly why Trump appointed Miller acting head of the DoD and replaced all the other Pentagon heads with Trump cultists. Every single second of this and every decision these scum made needs to be taken apart and investigated.
Good guys sent there to take one for the team. That's fucked
Jake you should call it quit from sharing fake news
He talking fuckery
Didn’t like the optics so whatever...
