they want to get into those kinds of fields where there is incentive to do well and p promotions will follow. so what you have with the nuke force is you don t necessarily have a whole group of dudes raising their hands, saying i want to get in this business. so you have to select very closely, and you have to train and instill these guys with this mission focus. they ve got it, but then organizationally, how do you incentivize them to really be a part of it so you can train the next generation and recruit the next generation? when you have problems like you have just described, brooke, going back to 2007, it is a crisis and it will be fixed, but it needs to be fixed. there s nothing more important, certainly nothing more deadly than the control of our nuclear weapons systems. it s a zero defects environment. thank you. a new milestone for marijuana. a poll just released reveals something new about the country s opinion on pot. it s surprising. we ll hear both sides of this debate
badly. some of these officers have their hands really close to the nuclear buttons. you would hope their conduct would be as polished as their shoes but lately, that s hardly been the case. it was on its face, disturbing, even shocking news. two military officials in charge of the nation s nuclear arsenal, sacked within days of each other. major general michael carey, the two star general responsible for the air force s land-based nuclear intercontinental ballistic missiles, fired after misbehavior on a business trip involving alcohol, a source tells cnn. and in a separate case, vice admiral tim giardina was released as the second in command of u.s. nuclear forces amid allegations including counterfeit gambling chips. there can be no tolerance at all for the world of handling and employing nuclear weapons systems. the readiness has to be at the very highest levels. you have to select only the very, very best. these are just the latest in a recent rash of firings in the
terms of nuclear weapons systems, in all serious, the american people have to be very nervous and on top of that, the fact that this president came into office and slashed our missile defense systems, the very systems we need to protect us against rogue states with nuclear weapons, one more piece of evidence. new leadership. iran, the middle east, north africa, these are all problems. thank you, sean. video of the day that you selected, coming up next, straight ahead.
solution, he s going to cut americans systems? you can t make it up. scary. you can t make it up. you know he had a bad day today, chris matthew has to make this pathetic excuse. watch this. a lot of the problem he had today was the the late afternoon sun in berlin ruined his use of the teleprompters. his usual dramatic windup was ruined. the late afternoon sun in berlin ruined the teleprompter. to have chris matthews and barack obama in the same segment is making my night. the president, clearly the best could you say, he seems to be in over his head, naive. when you think about what vladmir putin did in stealing the super bowl ring and imagine barack obama try to go up against him head to head in terms of nuclear weapons
