Is that all that comes to you. It’s US colonization and slavery
What a disgrace. Pull all their cards Matt.
If that is a top general we are in trouble.
@johnmorgan834classic civilian. Thinks officers and guys who have been in 10+ years must know what they’re doing and are good at their job. FYI for all you civis it’s very easy to fail your way upwards in the military, especially if you’re an officer. The general is clearly dodging the question because he knows that there is a correlation between us military training and over throwing the govt. He gives vague answers so that he won’t get demoted and lose out on the nice govt pension coming his way.
Funny thing is The Top General's name is Charlie Brown.
Just like Austin... DEI crap
"Core values." My response: "Bull shit"
@@chiefwaukon He nor do you understand what "Core values " are. Very important to Uniformed service members. And it SHOULD be for those who serve in Congress.
@victorwilliams1304 This vid was 7 mo's ago.😂 Do you even know what part of the vid I'm talking about?
I was a marine and that general embarrassing answers are offensive
Once a marine always a marine!!! Me ten years in army!
Thank you for serving this great nation for us people to protect us . Your sacrifice is appreciated very much . ❤️🙏🙏❤️
Semper Fi. Marines are the last branch still fighting against the nonsense
Matt knows who he would put in charge: Joel Greenberg
He’s a 4 star combatant commander and those are the best answers he could provide to Congress?
UNSAT…
REP. M GAETZ...SPOT ON, LET THE PEOPLE LEARN THE TRUTH.....
MATT GAETZ IS FULL OF CRAP
This is unbelievable........!!! Speechless
a political stain in a uniform. the dems sure know how to pick them.
If that’s leading our Marines we’re in dire straits.
Looks like the general was a quota filler!
Kind of like trump, with his family.😂😂😂
Shows you have NO Clue what it takes to become a Flag Officer. Hey Congressman, the US also trained the Navy Officers who bombed Pearl Harbor.
@ to become a flag officer you have to kiss a lot of ass! That’s a fact!
@@rgarri6396 Having seen some go through the Ranks, not true. It's about thier performance at different levels of Command.
Gotta love how they talk in circles!! Gaetz is right. There are countries that do NOT want us there, Africa, especially.
One reason they don't want us there is because the Biden Administration is pushing Wike Ideology on African countries, i.e. gay marriage, abortion, transgender acceptance and many African countries aren't going along with it.
You nailed it. My comment on this topic will be disappearing again
Yup they don’t do what what is all this drama about 😂? If you want to help someone and they decided nah we good we don’t need your help, you leave now we got it under control. Why are you are getting mad 😂mdr
The defiance of the general is troubling. HE is the type of military leader who would fire on his own people. Elections have consequences.
DEI at it's finest ...
Did taxpayers pay for the General 's horrible horse teeth?
America should not be training anybody outside America🇺🇲
@@icescreamweallscream Nothing, they’re getting an export model.
Our Country's Military Weapons, as well as Aircraft, Ship, Classified Technology, Missile Designs, and Nuclear Secrets have managed to be found, seen and/or used by many Other Countries, whom We The People would like these Countries to please confirm our research findings so that we can have our Military Justice System conduct much needed Investigative Work and Justice Served to the Perpetrators, with the understanding that your Countries were just wanting to obtain knowledge and that you were helpful with catching the culprits of our Country which would greatly be taken into consideration...
But they want to stop defensive training in the state of Maine . Passing a law referring to such activities as paramilitary training !? Ridiculous ! We have a war between Russia Ukraine Isreal Palestine China Taiwan . Perversions taught in schools . Open compromised border Homelessness inflation. US just finished printing more dollars the value of the dollar is at negative . The banks are about to collapse . Of course they want your guns .
Yes a country shouldn't support it's interests by creating influence overseas. Your understanding of World politics might be non-existent.
We have always help train our allies. We have helped every army that takes over where we left off. We have been paid by other nations to train their people for weapons we sold them. You have no clue how the military works. Just like Matt and Faux news. It is like blaming your driving instructor for your life time of tickets and wrecks.
INVESTIGATE ALL RECIPIENTS ASAP
Say the fucken pledge of Allegiance please. One Catholic prayer, and if that never works out what's affiliation. I don't think I heard of that can you talk to the fire practioners please
Bot
Imo, the General's core value is "double-speak" "1984" George Orwell's warning about totalitarianism
The General sounds somewhat like Obama if one listens closely...
@@5thribroarn304 listen to ANY of the Dems these days. Almost all of them speak like Barry, he seems to be their model for how to deal with these questions by not answering them.
@@jumpupdown2556
He was taught well, by for.eign as well as do.mestic wa.di.cals, yes.
General is a bought and paid for clown. All these military medals! "Really" for what?
Well he survived the leadership purge of 2009 - 2017 so that tells us exactly who he is and what he stands for.
Matt Gaetz 2.0
another dummy. he keeps saying the same thing.
The dummy is Matt
@ronniecameron7094 you are mistaken.
@@christopherhazell420 you are out numbered
Seriously… watched a video of you saying “starts with core values” and then repeat that statement again 🤦♂️ can’t make this shit up
He is trained not to say anything to Politician that is detrimental to the Service.
This is exactly what Donald Trump was talking about. Interference in other countries might lead to WW3.
Being transparent with the public. Remember military works for the country not politicians. Politicians ain't taking bullets. Africa needs to farmers not weapons of war.
It depends who The Military take an
Oath to...
in The UK an Oath is taken to King Charles III,
previously it was Queen Elizabeth II.
The Monarchy.
Chancellor Adolf Hitler 1 February 1933-45
The NAZI GERMAN Military took an
Oath to Hitler.
@@FunnyBunny-pd5xx I do know times are changing everyday. America lost the revolutionary war with Great Britain. Landlords just make it so damn difficult. Giving any country weapons created dependency. United Kingdom all the politicians in the world or not saving the middle-class and that's police,janitor's ,babysitters and everything else in between. They work for Law & order it doesn't work the other way around. Peace will never be stop good will never ends. Who wants to live being wealthy and scared. It's a sad existence sad.
Take an oath to your family and don’t let them go hungry.
@@Lyndanet I don't take oaths I live by a code. Military does take everybody! It don't even take people that wants to die for their country. It's just a job at the end of the day.
@@LyndanetPoliticians dictators don't get shot. Wars are fought over money and to kill young boys.
This general does not serve the interests of the American people, it’s embarrassing
LOL! When was your last security briefing!??
@@Dan-sc7usdid you watch this video?
WY ARE THEY TRAINING ANYONE OTHER THAN AMERICAN CITIZENS.
To destabilize the countries and steal the resources.
Answer the question!
How does Racist America have so many High ranking military personnel???
Gaetz is brutal, I love it.
Gaetz for speaker of the house.
He should ask who sold the $160M weapons package and $120M training package that had us there in the first place, for the training and picture op? Initials are DJT, look it up.
There’s a reason why no one in DC respects Gates, although he’s loved by lonely losers on SM.
What a flat out liar this general is. Hes evasive, and either misinformed or just a flat liar! He needs to be dishonorably discharged!
These people need to go
DEI on parade.
Go Rep. Gaetz. Thank you!!!
And, Rep Jordan. These old codgers have been lying to cya. Now, we want real answers.
Just posting to see if it gets deleted.
If it doesn’t fit the NaRRatIVE it will most likely get deleted. I’ve almost given up on posting a political comment due to the fact it’s deleted so often so what’s the point.

Thanks Matt for speaking fluently to Americas Military Official directly to his face , say 20 yards away . You do reveal the truth and so does that Military Official in just how he spoke back like he`s on offense by eviscerating the issues your employing to him , directly to his face . Thanks again Matt , keep it up , more Americans need to see & watch and listen to much more like this to witness the truth !
I think it’s great that congress is calling out a lot of people who are either liars protecting the “agenda” or flat out does not know what is going on. However, every time I watch one of these videos, I feel that it only serves to embarrass the one being questioned but nothing more severe happens to them.
Stop spending our beeping money a.h.s
Our chain of command carries zero accountability and its gross.
IF YOU REALLY THINK THAT IS BAD, LOOK AT WHO IS TALKING!!! MATT GAETZ TAKES NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY OF HIS ACTIONS.
@@averydavis1708 your caps lock is on there guy.
Also, what actions are mentioning?
I have to agree with the congressman. And the way this man is going around answering questions makes me believe that he knows he's lying too
Send him to Gitmo and get him out of that uniform!!! TREASON
Exactly
Wow. This General Officer has an apparent deeply held contempt for Congress’ oversight of the military.
There's no way the coup wasn't on our radar. “Congrats, here's your diploma. Great job. What are your plans?”
"There is no syllabus for overthrowing a government."
"I'll do a follow up on that, Congressman." He said that with such faux sincerity that I broke out laughing. The hubris is staggering.
Everyone forgets The School of The Americas huh?? We been training them in our own backyard for decades
In the UK we are worried about the lack of investment in our military, we are equally worried about the calibre of your Generals!
Each are equally scary 😧🤡
PLEASE STAY WHERE YOU ARE WITH YOUR OPINIONS!!!
@@averydavis1708 for now I’m glad to, your country is falling apart quicker than ours, your government is certainly more corrupt 🤷🏼♂️
This is embarrassing.
It seems congress debating and finding people lying, stealing, and/or worse, is just theater, because I never see any consequences for anyone congress calls out. It's always, "your time is up, we recognize the next person." And then... it's over.
It's actually embarrassing.
Exhibit "A" of why the military should not be involved in politics.
General Lies his ass off.
General DEI.
The moment you see it's a "hearing"...you know it's a "show"....
I support and will obey Matt Gaetz forever!
obey? Respect him will be fine enough
Are you just itching for someone to lead you. Think for yourself bud.
Sounds exactly like something one of Gaetz’s 18yo adopted “sons” would say.
Ruzzian bot. SAD!
You're part of the problem.
Horsesh$t general
Bravo!
Democrats lol ... wow
The USMC combat veteran from Louisiana/Texas, who earned a Bronze Star and a ton of war medals?
Wtf are we training other people's armies😮
It's been done here since before the country was born.
And nobody would ask a simple question to any of these unelected people are bureaucrats whatever you want to call them why does this have to be in a classified setting so where nobody can talk about it because quite frankly I thought this administration wanted to be transparent transparent did it or did it not say that we are going to be the most transparent White House and that is the reason why they say I can only talk about this in a classified setting because then you cannot speak about what we talked about in any classified setting in a skiff
That was brutal
Dei general, didn't earn it
CLEARLY APPARENT YOU NEVER SERVED IN THE MILITARY!!!
diversity hires all around
You need them in order to negotiate with other countries. Did you forget that?
He is confused, usually you are the one behind the coup, that’s why you trained them so whenever you need to replace a leader you don’t like you can use those assets to replace the government.
You were in Niger only for your own interest that’s it! And the Nigerian decided that it’s better for them to focus on their interests instead of the us. No hard feelings at all, your presence in their country doesn’t match the interest of the Nigerian so therefore they asked you to leave. That it 😂
Wow.
It’s the smile at the end that says it all
Go get em Gaetz
Good Lord, I hate DEI appointments in the military! - MSG, Ret, USA-SF
Now that's very concerning and scary 😟🧐🤔😬
This shouldn’t surprise anyone.
I'm so sick of all the BULLSHIT going on ....
the EU and China is in Africa also.then people ask why are these countries like this bec, the rest of the world wants what they have.
God bless Matt Gaetz‼️
not just now, but always
They hand out stars like candy, these generals couldn't lead a band
Gaetz: Did we train a warlord, General?
General: Corps Values.
I don't think this is corruption - it's breathtaking incompetence.
It's nice to see a general push back for a change.
Gaetz all my respect to/you, you should be a VP , you really have power ; you really love America , 100% agree with you and all the Americans 🇺🇸
Just another typical and accursed example of promotion based on the color of the skin, but NOT because of individual's intelligence, ability and competence!!! ! IT'S EXTREMELY HARMFUL TO OUR NATIONAL SECURITY!!!!
WRONG!!!!
Exactly
Syria, Niger, Iraq, Ukraine, a lot of small African, South and Central American Countries, but no Coup attempts . Since WW2, There has been a minimum of 167 attempted Coups in which the U.S was in Charge of.
Wow
Simply question is a problem for him, Mr. Core Values
Unfortunately the Marine General is not a very informed nor talented speaker. could you imagine how this conversation would have gone if General Zinni, or Gray, or Mattis were sitting in that chair? Gen. Langley makes the Corps look inept and morally challenged. Now my statement does HOT extend to the rank and file Marines. Just saying... Langley sounds like an idiot.
The Corps keeps a few tokens around for good measure
Don't you think it is a little too late to bring this up when this is well known by EVERYONE to be going on for decades? And not just in Africa, everywhere in the world.
How can the united states help countries over throw their country
They are ordered to by stupid politicians.
Well, what happened was a $280M weapons and training package was sold to Niger under Trump in 2017 and 2019, and delivered to Niger in 2021-2022 when the photo was taken. No US personnel helped them overthrow their country, but we did sell them weapons under the agreement that we had to train them to use them correctly. Of course, when they do something like overthrow their government, they don’t receive US weapons replacement parts or ammunition, although they paid a premium.
The Gov't has been doing that for a very long time.
Side deals ? who knows
He needs to ask the elite about this one.
Wow. Core values. Core values. Core values. Someone without original thoughts.
As a military member. This is quite disrespectful. Mr. Congressmen how many elections does it take to get someone who is not corrupt. How many presidents does it take before we actually become UNITED
Including in this country!
He loves grandstanding
Are you talking about the general, since the questions seem legit.
If you want to call grand standing getting rid of a RINO named McCarthy fine with me..go Matt 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Bingo .. Now, this might explain why there is some friction in the world that could be avoided .. Ordinary Americans are oblivious to this type of stuff going on .. suspected but not aware … we do not tell our elected officials or military to cause trouble around the world unless direct aggression to us or our Allies or trade partners or even competitors
Cause friction? We sold them weapons, then sent people to train them on those weapons. The weapons cost $160M, and the training $120M, and it was sold to them under Trump.
So thats what they're calling the School of the Assassins now.
The ratio of Generals to Soldiers is very expensive, I wonder how many 4 star has the Marines ever had?
He believes if he continues to say "core values", they'll stop asking questions.
Rats are everywhere ya
So they trained them over there and flew them here? Got it. Ready to roll.
Who would serve under these embarrassing generals?!
So, we don't charge people with treason?
GET OUT!
Lol Biden promoted this dude?
Already told it’s just CSIS & OPEC
Pointless words again.
The General has no CAR !
This is the quality of senior officers in the Marine Corps??? Im glad im no longer serving then.
