which combines traditional espionage activity with economic coercion and that s really what we re seeing across the board. rachel: so gallagher, maria, saying that chinese spying on the uptick really at a level we ve then rec seen before but k to the original thing in alaska, i think beijing and moscow coming togethers was kind of predictable because of the ukraine war, i mean, people were predicting that would happen if that war continued. maria: yeah. and good morning to you. it has been happening. it s happening in plain sight. and the national security concerns are real. communist china has a goal of overtaking the united states as the number one super power and it is acting accordingly whether it be these provocations in international waters or a massive spy campaign on american citizens, as well as on the american military. we ve just seen a lot of provocations around the military from a surveillance balloon hovering above our military
same kinds of statements that i cut up like cheese at the trial. so these are of no meaning. what s your take? we don t often seen the inside of a s.e.a.l. team room. this is the inside of a dysfunctional s.e.a.l. team room. it shows the breakdown of unit cohesion. i think we should take these videos seriously because these s.e.a.l.s would have faced pretty serious repercussions if they lied to investigators. they may not have been formally sworn or under oath or cross-examined, but these s.e.a.l.s weren t cavalierly making these statements. you can imagine what it takes for such well trained, elite service members to get to the breaking point where seven of them are going to go to ncis and tell them these kinds of things about their chief. now, then it becomes political. so gallagher is acquitted. he is found guilty of taking the photo in front of the dead body. they want to demote him. the president says no.
obvious, said look, these aren t sworn, these are of known meaning. what s your take in. we don t often see the inside of a seal room. this is the inside of a dysfunctional seal team s room. it shows the breakdown of unit cohesion. we should take these videos seriously because the seals would have faced pretty serious repercussions had they lied to ncis investigators here. they may not have been formally sworn or under oath but these seals weren t cavalier live making these statements. you can imagine what it takes for such professionals to get to the breaking point where they re going to go seven of them are going to go to ncis and tell them these kinds of things about their chief. then it becomes political. so gallagher is acquitted. he is found guilty of taking the photo in front of the dead body. they want to demote him.
these are interview obtained by the new york times of alpha platoon s.e.a.l. team 7 members, breaking an unwritten code of silence in 2018 by taking on their chief of their platoon, who was eventually tried for war crimes. here s a taste. he s a psychopath. the guy got crazier and crazier. the guy was toxic. we can t let this continue. it s [ bleep ] up. that s frickin evil, man. these are not from now, not sworn, not cross-examined. it was an early part of the investigation. but they re still going to hold relevance. what is also relevant is mr. gal ber was acquitted of multiple war crimes including killing a young isis prisoner. he was only convicted of a single and lesser charge in ul j, posing for photos with the body of that dead isis fighter. now, after the trial, gallagher was demoted in rank because of the photo. that s when the president intervened. why? he reversed the demotion and let gallagher retire honorably.
