00:00The Press Today, Director Gabbard testified that any

00:04information that would indicate that the U.S. or its allies are going to make an attack

00:09should be classified.

00:11The Secretary of Defense has said that the information in those messages was not classified.

00:16Are you going to ask him to review whether it should have been — should flight times

00:20and sequencing be classified?

00:21The President Sure.

00:22I would.

00:23It would be.

00:25You can view that two ways, frankly.

00:27There's a lot of ways to answer that question.

00:29But I'd certainly ask him to take a look at it.

00:31The Press Should they have a standpoint into this?

00:32In hindsight, should they have a war plan or not?

00:35The President Yeah, there may be a problem with the platform.

00:38And if there's a problem with the platform, nobody should use it.

00:41You know, they could have a basic problem.

00:43But you know, I say it again, the attack was so successful, it was so lethal.

00:50Not that I'm looking for lethality.

00:52I wish we didn't have to do it at all.

00:53But they're shooting down our ships, they're shooting down our planes, and we can't allow

00:57that to happen.

00:58So, again, this is something that should have been done by Biden a long time ago, or one

01:02or two more.
