Hes my guest. Lets go outfront. Good evening. Im erin burnett. The Breaking News, general Milley Wasnt alone. As calls grow from Mark Milley to resign over revelations he contacted a top chinese general twice in the final months of donald trumps presidency to reassure beijing the u. S. Would not attack china, were learning Mark Esper also took extraordinary steps at the same time. A former senior Defense Official says that the chinese were so concerned about the rhetoric coming out of trumps White House last year that esper, the Defense Secretary had a top deputy, not milley, a top Deputy Back channel beijing telling them they were in no danger of being attacked. That is the exact same Thing Milley said and weve learned today that milley conducted his call to the top chinese general in consultation with and with the approval of Secretary Esper. That call from milley was on October 30th of 2020. And there was one more call after that. This a call from milley to the same chinese general on January 8th this year. Significantly, January 8th is two days after the insurrection. Now, this is according to a new book by the Reporters Bob Woodward and Robert Costa. We learned the calls were not secret. Not like milley got on the phone and called his counterpart and now its leaking out. Not at all. We learned there were 15 people on each of those two calls. During the discussion on January 8th. He said were 100 steady. Everything is fine. Democracy can be sloppy sometimes. According to the Book Milley went as far to promise his counterpart he would alert them on a strike to the u. S. In the October Call approved by esper. The white Houses Defense in high gear, the president making his support for milley clear. Sir, did general milley Do The Right Thing, sir . Did general milley Do The Right Thing . I have great confidence in general milley. Biden may have great confidence but this issue is splitting the republicans and may not surprise you to hear that some of trumps loyalists are making the case for milley to be gone. If true, general milley has broken some very good laws and we ought to make sure there is accountability for that. He does need to resign. He needs to resign. If he wont resign, he needs to be fired. Okay. So you see gates and holly and add to that marjorie taylor greene. She tweeted court marshall Mark Milley. There are many republicans urging their colleagues to take a breath and not rush to judgment. I have to say some of the allegations seem farfetcheded to me. We dont want to jump to conclusions but well vet them and see what happened. The former national Security Advisor John Bolton releasing this statement to us saying quote, Mark Milley is a staunch supporter of the Constitution And Rule of law. I have No Doubt general milley consulted widely with colleagues on the national Security Counsel and others during this period. What bolton says he believes happened appears to have happened from all of our reporting, 15 people on each call. A alex is live outfront In Washington. This shows how worried esper was about trumps behavior and how far he went with Chairman Milley to avoid a war. It goes back to how unusually concerned the chinese were at the same time. Were learning from a top former senior Defense Official that speak with our Colleague Katy Bow williams. Mark ed enter ordered a top Policy Advisor to send a back Channel Message to beijing to reassure them. That Message And Order before the October 30th call that milley made to his counterpart and that, the point of this was according to this top former official a Twostep Process to avoid any unnecessary confrontation that could lead to con conflict. Erin, you may remember esper was fired but milley continued his out reach with the chinese. The white House Today standing by the countrys top general amid accusations he had gone too far at The End of donald trumps presidency in conversations with his counterpart in china and american adversary. The president knows general milley. He has been chairman of the joint chiefs for almost eight months of his presidency. They have worked Side By side through a range of international events and the president has complete confidence in his leadership. In a new book, Bob Woodward and Robert Costa feared trump was in mental decline. He had two Phone Calls before the November Election and just after the January 6th insurrection to reassure him. I want to assure you that the american government is stable and everything is going to be okay milley told general lee on October 30th. We are not going to attack or conduct any operations against you. On the same call, milley added general lee, you and i have known Each Other for now five years. If were going to attack, im going to call you ahead of time. Its not going to be a surprise. Senator Marco Rubio quickly called for milley to be fired. This is treacherous. Its dangerous. Its unconstitutional and general milley needs to answer questions about it. He should be fired and have to face Military Justice for what hes done. A spokesman for milley said the general regularly communicates with chiefs of defense across the world including with China And Russia all calls from the chairman to his counterparts including those reported are staffed, coordinated and communicated with the Department Of Defense and the enter agency. We do not take an oath to an individual. No, we do not take an oath to a country, a tribe or religion. We take an oath to the constitution. Reporter milleys fears about trumps actions and what he could have done have been well documented in another book this summer, two Washington Post reporters wrote milley told his staff that he believed trump was stoking unrest, possibly in hopes of an excuse to invoke the Insurrection Act and call out the military. Milley has weighed into issues of racial injustice apologizing for being seen alongside trump after the brutal Lafayette Square crackdown on black Lives Matter protesters. My presence in that moment and in that environment created a perception of the Mill Taren valved in domestic politics. Reporter after trump lost, a Defense Official told cnn that milleys golfs to make sure there was a peaceful handover to joe biden. Milley was reportedly afraid trump could launch a nuclear attack in the final days so according to Woodward And Costa, he gathered top officers and said if they got an order to launch, they had to check with him. No matter what you are told, you do the procedure, you do the process, milley said and im part of that procedure. The Pentagon Press Secretary declined, refused to comment on anything that came out in this book, but he did talk about the fact that it would be what he called not at all uncommon and completely appropriate for Chairman Milley to want to review Safety Protocols like those around a nuclear launch. Erin, john kirby, the Press Secretary echoing what we heard from the White House saying Chairman Milley has the complete Confidence And Support of lloyd austin. You know, speaking of that, i know its common right in this out reach to the chinese as an example the Secretary Of Defense would know what the chairman of the joint chiefs is doing. Espers successor, because esper was as you know removed after the election says he was not told all about milleys contacts with the chinese. Is that the case . So miller took over from esper and he says he got what he described as essentially a Heads Up about the conversations that milley was having, not with no details about themes and content. He did text our colleagues today. He went on to say that i wouldnt have approved of anything of the nature portrayed in woodwards book. That could add fuel to the fire. We should note that a Defense Official did say that Millers Office was informed appropriately about the conversations that milley was having. Erin . Alex, thank you very much for your reporting from The Pentagon. And now, i want to go to leon pen nanetta, the Cia Direc under President Obama and this is the first time the secretary is speaking out about this topic. Appreciate your time secretary panetta. Let me start with the bottom line. Was what this book says Chairman Milley did appropriate or not . Look, you know, i dont think there is any question that general milley was operating in accordance with his constitutional responsibilities. We had an unpredictable president not abiding by the constitution and to concede an election, inciting a mob to go after the cab pitol. He was unpredictable in terms of what hed do and i think general milley had a legitimate concern about what could possibly happen and his ability to talk with his counterparts is perfectly encaping with what the chairman of the joint chiefs should be able to do. I think he did the right thing. So let me just go through the timeline of these calls for you so that you can explain a couple of details. Socall one from Milley To General Lee in china happens on October 30th before the election and that is the call where milley says dont worry, i would tell you if we were going to attack its important we say that because that call was made in consultation with the Defense Secretary esper. So thats important to note. Call two is where there are questions because it happens on January 8th, Ed Ensper is no lo the acting Defense Secretary is Christopher Miller Hand picked by trump. A man who oversees a purge at the Defense Department where senior posts are filled by trump loyalists and miller now tells cnn today quote, i wouldnt have approved of anything of the nature portrayed in woodwards book. Hes saying i did not know about what happened on the call when i was Defense Secretary. Does this change anything for you . Not really. Obviously, the F Call was done pursuant to the approval of Secretary Esper and i think that certainly makes that clear as to what general milley was doing. On the second call, it was obvious at that point that the president was appointing political people to key positions at the Defense Department and it was coming at a time when there was a tremendous amount of concern about the role of the military as Youll Recall every Secretary Of Defense signed a letter that indicated that it was very important that the military not be used for political purposes and we were concerned about what the president might do. So general Milley Understanding that same kind of concern i think tried to make sure that others understood that there was not going to be any kind of sudden attack or that we would not find ourselves in the middle of a nuclear war. I think he was doing what he felt was right as chairman of the joint chiefs. So secretary panetta, let me get to one part of it that seems to be raising the most questions and that is the specific quote about an attack, right . According to The Book on that October 30th call, and again, i emphasize we understand this was in coordination with esper, but milley says in Part Quote general lee, you and i have known Each Other for five years now. If were going to attack, im going to call you ahead of time. Its not going to be a surprise. Look, this is the quote that kind of makes everybody go huh . And it is the quote that trumps allies are now saying could be treason. Talk to me as a former Defense Secretary about that quote why you feel more comfortable with it. I feel comfortable with it because the chairman of the joint chiefs talks to counterparts around the whole world. He catalks to counterparts in china, in russia as well as allies throughout the world and they have these kinds of straight conversations and i think general milley in the tone of that conversation was basically saying look, you know, youre not going to face a s sudden attack. This is not, you know, were doing everything necessarily to try to make sure we do not find ourselves in a nuclear war. So i think his words frankly ought to be put into that context of having a conversation between two military leaders so that they understood that neither of their countries was on the verge of a nuclear war. Thank you. Youre welcome. Good to be with you, erin. You, too, sir. Next, pennsylvania republicans moving to subpoena the personal information of millions of voters as they obsess over the nonexist tablet wide spread Election Fraud.

Tonight, pennsylvania republicans looking to subpoena the Person Information of 9 Million registered voters in stat to the Investigate Fraud on the 2020 election. This comes as a new Cnn Poll shows nearly 80 of republicans believe that Bidens Win was not legitimate. Outfront now george, the Politzer Prize winning columnist for the Washington Post and author of The Book, american happiness and discontents. So george, i am really thrilled to have you on and be able to talk to you since obviously, like everyone i read your work so avidly. I want to start with that news out of pennsylvania today. I mean, ten months since Election Day no evidence of wide spread fraud, multiple investigations and audits. Why is this still happening . Its happening because a great many republican elected officials or those who hope to be republican elect odd officials are terrified of the next Sulfur Tweet from maralago. The elected officials are terrified of a good portion of their political base and because theyre terrified, they dont like them much and dont respect them. This is a preemptive move. I think many of them are afraid that someone else will get out in front of them for example, we saw this by the way on January 6th when Josh Hawley started the business of trying to delay the certification of the Election Results and Ted Cruz not wanting to be franked on the populous right joined the clamber. This could be people currying favor with at this moment still the head of the republican party. And so let me ask you about that because the new poll, 78 of republicans say biden didnt legitimately win the election. I understand republicans are at this Point A Quarter of the E Let electret. Some are sounding the alarm on what that means for this country. Here is liz cheney. Today we face a Threat America has never seen before. Millions of americans have been misled by the former president. They have heard only his words but not the truth as he continued to undermine our democratic Process Sewing seeds of doubt about whether democracy really works at all. And i know george that you dont necessarily think american democracy is in danger but how then do you think trumps Big Lie has been able to frankly grow anin the face of the fact that it didnt happen . Well, first, with regard to the threat to democracy, remember the point of the insurrectionists when they finally got in the capitol as they im Imp Vised their purposs to disrupt and stop a ko constitutional function, the certification of the results. They didnt stop it but delayed it but congress made a point of coming back in and saying a delay is all that happened. Now, about the american people that portion of as you rightly say a dwindling group called the republicans. It is the case that mr. Trump gets the Lions Share of the blame. Lets not equip those people who choose to believe him. These republicans are adults and have a responsibility to exercise their intelligence and be as intelligent as possible and believing this stuff, theyre not passive, theyre not clay in the hands of this man. Theyre walking around american Human Beings responsible enough to vote and they ought to be not considered passive victims of this. They are complacent and should be held accountable, ami mean, accountable by public opinion but the fact they persist in believing this after judge after judge including many Trump Nominated Judges have yet to find a bit of evidence about this indicates a will to believe that makes them lets just say appropriate physicfollowers of former president. There is sort of something about it, you know, i want to ask you one other thing to this point about how people have gotten on board with this broader Tone And Tenure from the republican party. Antony blinken was testifying about the afwithdrawal but he wanted to talk about something else. Let me play part of the exchange, george. Somebody in the White House has the authority with a button to cut off the president s Speaking Ability and sound. Who is that person . I think anyone that knows the president , including members of this committee knows he speaks very clearly and very deliberately for himself. Its been widely reported that somebody has the ability to Push The Button and cut off his sound and stop him from speaking. Who is that person . There is no such person, again. Are you saying that didnt happen. Senator, i really dont know what youre referring to. There is no such person. The reason i play that, george, the person asking this question about this Conspiracy Theory Someone can cut biden off because theyre worried he will lose Control Or Something is the senior most republican member of the senate formulations committee. Widely respected man with a long career. What does it tell you when someone like Senator Rish is pedaling Conspiracy Theories like this. He uses its been widely reported. Anything said three times In Washington becomes a fact. And im sure this has been said three times but an enormous amount of nonsense gets said three times in this town. It is December Couraging that a congressional hearing would become a supermarket for such rumors and frankly, it goes to what we were talking about on your previous segment. Were going to have to have congress exercising its oversight function, investigations into all of this coming from the Woodward And Costa book but this does not argue well for the ability of congressional committees to comport themselves in a way that augments, rather than subtracts further from public confidence and institutions. All right. George, i appreciate your time. Thank you very much. And as i said, i hope everyone will get georges new book american happiness and discontent, thank you. Glad to be with you.

The Vote Count is accurate, The One that presently exists. Is that right . I believe that unless the questions that i raise get answered, you cant be confident of what the Vote Count is, no one can. Reporter he founded the conservative group look ahead america and made it his mission to fight for the 600 people charged in connection with the January 6th insurrection. He wants their criminal charges dropped. Thats the whole premise behind Saturdays Justice for January 6th rally. Youre calling them political prisoners but these are people charged under the trump doj. These are people in some cases assaulted Police Officers and or illegally entered the capitol so why would they be exonerated . The vast majority of the nen nearly 600 people arrested have not been charged with any violence. They have been charged with expressing their first Ameant Mtd rights at the wrong place at the wrong time. These are buildings people can ordinarily walk out incident and the fact theyre being treated so harshly and being held in solitary confinement for nine months without access to medical care. Reporter these are people that assaulted Police Officers, who illegally entered the capitol. To correct you, the people who are being held in jail have violent histories or accused of violence. More than eight months after January 6th, Law Enforcement is keeping a close eye on the planning for this latest rally near the capitol. New fencing will go up to secure the Complex And Homeland security officials say they are expecting 700 people. Extremism experts have been watching the chatter online.

Reporter Matt Brainard is organizing rallies in at least 13 states. Hes calling for supporters to head to State Capitols across the country if they cant make it to washington. Weve reached out to officials in several states but many tell us they havent heard from bay ever brainard or seen him apply for permits but will be ready nonetheless. Thank you very much. I want to bring in a lawyer representing seven Capitol Police officers who are suing the former President Trump to hold him accountable for the January 6th insurrection. So ed, i appreciate your time tonight. I know that youre trying to hold Trump Accountable for the January 6th insurrection. So when you hear what is happening now, do you see his fingerprints all over saturdays rally, as well . Well, its important for people to understand that this highlights the need for there to be accountability for these responsible for the January 6th rallies. Trump certainly is one of those people we hope that the demonstrations this saturday are peaceful. But that was not the case january 6 th. People need to understand and remember that what happened on January 6th was the Come Ulmina of months of work to undermine the Election Results by violence and the people responsible need to be held accountable. So an internal Police Memo Weve obtained warns some protestors may see saturday and i quote as a justice for ashli babbitt rally. For those who do not know. Babbitt was the pro Trump Rioter that was fatally shot after storming the Capitol Being embraced by trump allies. Take a listen. Who is the person that shot an innocent wonderful, incredible woman . If this country can demand justice for someone like george floyd, then we can certainly demand justice for ashli bi babbitt. The only person that got kill that day was a Trump Supporter and her name was Ashly Babbitt. And she was murdered. Okay. Ed, to be clear, Ashly Babbitt wasnt the only person that died. A Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick and three officers died by suicide. How dangerous is this attempt to turn babbitt into a martyr . This, again, just highlights the need for accountability. The Law Enforcement officers that show up at the capitol every day to protect congress, theyre not showing up as republicans or democrats. Theyre showing up as folks who have families, who have come to work to do their job to keep the congress safe for all of us. And they did that on January 6th and i know that they will do that on September 18th no matter what kinds oF Calls are being put out by the right wing organizers of the events. They will go and do their jobs in spite of it. Thank you, ed, appreciate your time. Next, ill talk to a republican that just switched parties because of Gop Resistance to Vaccine Mandates and the head of the fbi forced to apologize after americas top gymnast testified about how his agency grossly mishandled the investigation into claims of Sexual Abuse against their daughter.

New Hampshire Statement Representative William Marsh announcing hes switching the Party Registration from republican to democrat and has a very specific reason. His reason is republicans and his state are fighting against covid Vaccine Mandates. State Representative Marsh joins me now. I also want everyone to know representative, youre also a doctor. So these objections to Vaccine Mandates obviously arent new among republicans so what led you to do this now . Erin, this started back in june. We had a bill on the House Floor that basically would have put in Place Desantis Style restrictions against what i consider reasonable precautions to control covid. I spoke out against that on the House Floor and i won the new Hampshire House did not pass that measure. Its been an interesting summer. I wont go into some of the behind the Scenes Stuff but yesterday they decided to hold a rally in support of desantis regulations prohibiting businesses from mandating vaccinations for employees and prohibiting schools from mandating masks and businesses from deciding their patrons need to be vaccinated and wear masks. We all know whats happen income states that have followed that path. People are getting sick. People are dying including an increasingly high percentage of children. I understand adult businesses take actions need to to protect patrons and employees. Business has failed when you subject them to those rules. You Engs Maniedy mentione protesters of antivaxxers. This is yesterday. They are pushing the republican House Speaker for more action against the mandates. Listen to this. You need to tell them that they have to stop this In Washington. Once it stops In Washington, it wont come into this state. Were trying to do everything we can so youre yelling at the young people. The. The speaker egging them on. They dont want mandates. How dangerous is this . This prohibits businesses from things were talking about. I Cant Sit by in silence while a policy is being put into place. Doing that would betray the confidence of my former patients that are constituents and put their trust in me for years. Thats too high a price to pay. Rather than attending the rally, i went Toclarks Office and released the Press Release im sure youve seen. Let me ask you about some of the republicans in your state are taking queues from lawmakers whether it be at the national level, you mentioned desantis and clearly hes a leader and abbott, as well. One of those is senator rand paul. Hes a doctor like you are and he said this about Vaccine Mandates. They can also tell me i cant have a Cheese Burger for lunch . Will they tell me to eat carrots only and cut calories . That would be good for me but i dont think Big Brother ought to tell me to do it. What do you think of senator paul, a doctor like you saying something like that after receiving the same medical training you did. Very much so. Senator paul is a Board Certified opt Moll Gist like i was. I since retired. The issue is not the government putting policies in place. The issue is whether were going to prevent businesses from putting policies in place. And thats a bridge too far. I did see some point with the government not mandating certain things. Im not going to fight that too much, although, in certain venues such as Health Care facilities, we do have an obligation to keep people safe but that doesnt necessarily apply universally. To prohibit businesses from putting in place the policies they need to keep themselves in business, thats not what republicans do. All right. Well, there is the bottom line. Appreciate your time. Thank you very much state representative. And next, Breaking News just coming in about the prominent south Carolina Lawyer who police say now admits he arranged for someone to try to kill him.
