" Thank you please have a seat in -- for those who are familiar with this segment of our of this trio. I'm. Now playing -- present state. Quite -- who I am prison Wednesday. And this is much stricter defense. If you McFarland."

" Former deputy assistant secretary of defense you have now been promoted to Lancaster. Defense Secretary cream rises to the top it sure does and there's no more deserving of the job the --"

" Thank you Mr. President now I thought today what we might do is since you know the White House has declared war on Fox News. We have. If you'd like we could go through some of your military options military options against Fox News hits there. I think we're in discuss Afghanistan first -- like -- we could certainly discuss your options and Afghanistan as well in fact -- probably. A little better in some of your options for cancer facts and but since you since you brought it up yes -- and since it is sort of."

" On the cost. It's on everyone's mind that would start but even Jay Leno discuss yeah program and he hasn't discussed Afghanistan now but he does talk about the war -- yes. First of all madam secretary. Do you are you supportive of this -- you believe that we're moving in the right direction Mr. President -- live this war."

" But there are certain things you could do it service harsher policies that led scorcher yes that I escalation. -- definitely escalation or listen this round. Okay as a regular lost this -- how how do we escalate the war on fun OK you can do a couple of things you -- you've tried the job done everything right you've tried belittling them that didn't -- you tried freezing him out -- who worked for awhile now so now I think you gotta start -- talking stunned to learn you have to might say that it is back fire that we've solidified. Position and happily wave upon his leadership -- and -- certainly increased -- your -- show how would we fight."

" Fight this fight even even harder."

" Okay mister president time for talking is done in time for doing a surrogate parent the first option that you have and we can flash this on the screen that let me show you. Is you could do a commando -- the komando radio on -- I am sure -- can't get your feeling -- username their -- Israel vote and remember Manhattan island where Fox News is headquartered -- surrounded by water it is so if you'll remember back -- Mumbai terrorist attacks yes Allen and and -- India a few months ago and they -- commanders that -- have -- same kinds of inflatable yeah went into that area went into the city from several locations and then took over the whole -- you need to take our whole city because your most of the city actually go to -- Should they -- to take over one building in the city. The commanders could use book although like this two to storm the shores of Manhattan yeah. And then make their way uncharted. I would suggest you could do what you are good at night because they all have -- you know night vision goggles yeah. And you can have a couple of commander where it's coming in the Hudson River. -- come up but 48 street get to Fox News authorities street six cabinet take every development I. That's what I eat out metabolic okay Roger allison's office and I know you can do this January -- you know that the NYPD and Coast -- closely monitor the waterways yeah you are -- that's that's my shuttle would need some sort of diversion. Or permission from them now don't go for permission okay always been saying now it's better and aren't you better to just have a diversion -- here's a -- suggestion relegation. You thank your thank you can jump out of a helicopter there is that aircraft carrier in the Hudson River -- remember yes as a museum the intrepid intern but -- still works does the big -- You could comment on a helicopter ally George Bush for three -- inner jumpsuit and let him down a carrier -- very dramatic. Yeah and while all of New Yorkers watching the NYPD focused on any kind of potential attack against U. -- and a commander -- sneak out. -- street goes straight to examine the -- would be done before anybody at any any that you're not expect we should have them on the east side that we should have them storm the the what you the United Nations don't because here's -- thing Mr. President including seven of Fox News anywhere near you right. So factions isn't coverings. The rest of the media is so will be so that people focused on you on the carrier dash. And they want knows what -- and felt -- moving highlighted how -- balance. The next option is a slightly. We're serious option and that's an electromagnetic pulse -- the insiders. Well now I've got them here ask -- on appetite in my. This -- Manhattan island and that's an airplane. You could beam serve a laser beam of and it's called AMP electromagnetic pulse on the Fox News bill I'm a fighter jet. Well if you -- fighter jet is probably how lack collateral damage so what -- I want it helicopter. If they could focus now this president that new. But -- about a guy who wrote the defense she can't. -- and -- when you look out this week or last week and in matte black. I'm too busy reading the health plan to read well are you oriental. Governor -- He happened to I'm on page one -- a lot well don't think you even know what that looks like. Well anyway what you could -- were very surprised with a found in the have well nobody else has found it okay for the helicopter could come Albert if that's Fox News. You gonna have a helicopters and a beam like and a laser -- right to the fox news headquarters and what that does is it -- all the circuits and and secretary your suggestion that we fry in the circuits at Fox News sure. That's one option Mr. President what would that -- that paralyzed the building. Not no not yet -- Most of the people are probably wouldn't kill but it would all I'll be equipped I don't know whether we should escalate to that degree -- got another option for that the final solution. But if an electorate that thinks that way they -- yeah yeah oh yeah and EMPs burst. We'll -- all the circuits of all the electronic wouldn't -- also for these surroundings. -- At the five -- Fox News building dia and you could take it out. We we we taking out Fox News is that we're -- how -- we feel what Imus. We've -- environments -- here we could limit so that he's not here when that happens overnight that he wouldn't be the these -- wildest your breathing equipment because they have a whole lot of Fox News people with nothing to do. Okay -- if you don't like that options there let's -- fullest. Matt yeah okay oh mine. Yeah -- militant now actually about it from -- from -- okay that is a neutron bomb. Yeah now in your nuclear arsenal which of course you probably air Gant but in any event in your your your nuclear actually -- neutron bomb. Let me read from the manual what the neutron -- It is relative to other nuclear weapons damages more focused on biological material and material infrastructure who. What it means that the neutron bomb kills people not buildings there would be a lot of collateral damage. Well again you wanna focuses. Just found that Fox News building because if you took out the people. And you definitely want to do that one during the day you'd have that building would be intact. The machinery would be intact and you know you pay for MSNBC. Could just move my anger just anger and they go over and if not that -- tell -- couldn't have -- show me be very uncomfortable all the dust yeah. How about this when you really is this where mr. -- aware of what we say we're sorry we didn't mean it. We apologize. Well actually how it's not fair we shouldn't be classifying learn news network is not and we should be trying to put Mr. President -- project we're looking -- cell -- have been. And I went you're bringing apologize what Beckett should -- then went to the Middle -- and apologize what of that -- absolutely not from. Went to Russia had apologized while Beckett shed that I had -- in that should."

" You -- your specialty is defense gesture and weapons and no third war."

" So perhaps you're not that the best person to. Ask this question but I respect your been very. In -- so in your in your informed opinion."

" This war on -- yes. Misguided. Yes yes ill conceived ill conceived electrocuted. Yeah and it will have a -- Yeah. Now I was in the Nixon administration Mr. President when your predecessor. Declared war on the New York Times via and that didn't work out too well form -- I would take that leap of history and realize that this is one you want to get out as fast as you can baffling to me well."

" Now they're put on different that. Why they would OK so madam secretary. There's a story in the USA today -- today. Regarding US troops in Iraq having time on their -- you haven't seen this article yes there. Which I guess is good news that they are not out the -- indoors."

" They're meant soccer -- soccer -- I mean that's an indication that the surge strategy has worked that they are now more and more regions of Iraq. Which are under control of the Iraqis. Here are -- the Iraqi Government the Iraqi police force provided. Security."

" let little left for the American troops to do it this is true and I believe it is. Then perhaps. These troops have been deployed to Iraq. Would make sense to move them to -- yes and that's what your plan that's."

" That's one of the parts of in the crystal plan. -- not just put my ship and go from Iraq to Afghanistan but to rotate them back to the United States soon as we drive down our forces in Iraq."

" And -- redeploy them to Afghanistan and that there -- what is your feeling on the the level of troops. And general crystals. Request -- do you believe that we should fill his request."

" I think you have to answer first questions first which frankly have not answered. We and that is what's what do we do Marion and what is our mission the military works best when it has a very clearly defined mission. Such as taking out the Fox News -- you. Let's not do that. But you don't have a clearly defined mission as your mission that you want to provide time for the Iraqi mean for the Afghan democracy to develop. Is -- to buy time for the elections which which seems to be. What you wanna do as a result of that you -- that we can press conferences from your staff. Is your goal to win hearts and minds of the Afghan people. Is your goal to kill bad guys to -- cut -- to kill Taliban or tell them. And outside of the same thing can tell you answer those fundamentally basic questions about Afghanistan. The troop levels it's not it's putting the cart report -- if our goal is to stabilize the country yes to. Install. Or allow a democratic government to take hold and fly your leader for thirty years thirty years. -- out I think -- that you should go to your secretary of state. And asked the question and your National Security Adviser what your bigger picture in Afghanistan isn't all that Afghanistan. I would say that's not it is all about Pakistan and Afghanistan as a footnote to Pakistan and things in Pakistan are not looking good right now they're putting better. You think -- because precedent -- Afghan Pakistan who everyone thought with them and not be very effective he -- is taking the fight. To the Swat Valley to Waziristan he is taking the fight -- the Taliban I think you should give him every bit of support. That he -- for -- he's asked you to stop the drone attacks. For now because the -- potential for collateral damage I think -- I think you should go along with that request. -- that the drive techs have been very successful -- but I think for now while he's during this military engagement you should -- he says. He's also it needs a lot more equipment and and supplies at -- give it to them don't put American troops on the ground is afraid he has to fight and win that we can help them. And then -- third thing I would do which is more secretary Clinton's curfew. My former senate opponent -- sure yet senator Secretary Clinton. Should this should sit down with the leaders of Great Britain. And India. And say what can we do to help. Pakistan -- because Pakistan is a failed economy more than anything else. And never in the history of the world has -- a country a poor country next to a rich country like India. And which has not taken crimes -- the phone from the table Pakistan should be a more vibrant economy now how can we help that happen. You know -- schools are separate takes a generation yeah if you look at how quickly India became a strong economy you could do that with Pakistan."

" Well."

" And all right well on that note apparently -- White House situation room stick commercial break and we have some new guest coming up. Angry and I --"

" It's been a pleasure as always thank you for your guidance thank you sir they and I do think you should consider those options against bucks and I well we'll be right back."
