H.R. McMaster | Full Episode 11.1.24 | Firing Line with Margaret Hoover | PBS

[@cepamor]

Thank you, Gen. McMaster for skirting around the edges and not having the balls to tell it to us like it really is. 😮

[@letstalkaboutit7734]

He confirmed all of my suspicions about him. Recommending Tom Cotton as a National Security Advisor is the most dangerous idea the world could ever receive

[@raylotfi1318]

Thank you, thank you for noticing the SELFISH DUMMY Tom Cotton name. Interesting Hoover slipped it under the rug.

[@bradleyjames1340]

What national security? We know that trump and now Musk are/have been having secret communications with Putin and nobody seems to care. The content of such communications can't possibly NOT be of a sensitive nature concerning US interests. Doubt they're chatting about sports.

[@Nunya-e4v]

Ms Hoover, the poverty of the current times cannot continue. We need Trumps presidency and cannot encourage the previous 4 years!! We are financially and morally bankrupt!! We are encouraging wars and driving the world into the ground. We need a better economy and raise the overall sense of well being for all Americans. We don’t need open borders and excess spending to support people who have not worked here. We need common sense policies!!

[@letstalkaboutit7734]

Thanks Margaret for holding him to the fire. I think it’s important that people especially advisors to politicians need to be held accountable as much as the people they are working for.

[@thomasw.5344]

True

[@raylotfi1318]

She did not. She promoted tRUMP playing the GARBAGE tRUMP is using in MEDIA. Hoover should play NEUTRAL

[@arsavarese85]

This was an interview slamming Trump the entire time. Criticizing him is fine but drawing no policy comparison to Harris is shameful.

[@marismore1690]

As a young girl studying in the U.S., I was fortunate to experience the warmth, openness, and spirit of the American people. Every day I spent there felt like being at home-the only place on this planet where I truly felt I belonged. Surrounded by a unique sense of freedom and endless possibility, America became so dear to me. It is truly a beacon of democracy, and I am hopeful that this incredible country will continue to stand as a testament to resilience, justice, and reason. 🇺🇸 I ❤️ red and blue-symbols of the strength, courage, and unity that make America so extraordinary.🇺🇸❤️&💙

[@martynedwards1092]

I don't care for her interrupting and overtalking her guests. It's rude and unnecessary.

[@stlarkins]

I pray that every voter watches and learns what H.R. McMaster is sharing in this Firing Line interview before they cast their ballot. For warned is for armed❣️

[@yanstev]

McMaster reminds me a lot of Comey when he said "If he was innocent, we would have saId so." Tells a story about someone unqualified to be President, but leaves out the punch line--avoiding the responsibility given to him to protect the country. It isn't exactly cowardice, but it is an abrogation of his responsibility to protect the country.

[@jimspa7896]

So, who was supposed to do what to "protect the country" from what or whom? Your comment is rather vague.

[@drsssssssss]

Its a shame that our generals have gone from the war fighters of the past to these political hacks.

[@thomasw.5344]

You think so?

[@bradleyjames1340]

Not exactly new for military leaders to go into politics. Eisenhower, Grant.... George Washington?

[@thomasw.5344]

@@bradleyjames1340 I migh be wrong, but I read their comment like "McMaster is no Patton. Those wokazis have been washing our uniforms with softener. I used to walk to school every day 7 miles through the snow bare naked, nowadays these cowards ride busses"

[@bradleyjames1340]

Ah, like they're weaklings for not being in the thick of world war level combat that hasn't been seen for 80+ years. Maybe.

[@thomasw.5344]

@@bradleyjames1340 :-) not sure if this the appropriate emoji. Well, at least that's how I took drssss... comment. And you gotta admit, Gen. McMaster still has both arms and can walk, unlike Dr Strangelove for example....

[@rikcoach1]

It drives me crazy that this guy won’t endorse. One way or another take a stand dude

[@bradleyjames1340]

It wouldn't matter to the election. And yeah maybe he could wedge his way back in the circle. Good. One less position going to a straight up MAGA nutcase.

[@mark-ish]

Keeping the act of being apolitical for his next book release.

[@AndyRosebrook]

Trump moved the embassy bc his top billionaire donor demanded it. HR begins the interview by saying it was a brave and good move of disruption. Seems like he thought a disruption in Israel has turned out well...geez.

[@goldstandardaviation1667]

HR is clearly afraid to call Trump the dictator he is. Alternatively he is MAGA. It was sad to hear his commentary.

[@jboy9995]

You clearly can't think for yourself and only watch the propaganda. Thank God we won 😂

[@glennr9913]

Trump needs to be punished for the rest of his days.

[@MichaelDuffy-pq6op]

[@jeremyway-ue1xq]

@@MichaelDuffy-pq6optRump said, “What we need is more hate in the world”! He has said he would terminate the constitution! He said, “You will never have to vote again if I am your president!” Would you really want that for your president, and for our country?

Hahaha by being elected again

[@Cyber_Angel_1]

Margarete, you are a Political Rock Star. Love your work. Keep on shining!

[@emilschattner3407]

When he said we ought to trust the American electorate in choosing the right person for president, somehow 2016 comes to my mind ! Therefore the last thing I trust is the general intelligence of American voters, sorry Mr. McMaster!

[@jeremyway-ue1xq]

I agree that the general population is ignorant. We need to get rid of the electoral college! The orange monster lost the general vote. But still too many voted for him.

[@AndyRosebrook]

He moved the US embassy because Donald Trump's biggest donor demanded it in exchange for his money. HR credits this to Trump's good disruptive nature. That it was a great move. The interviewer nods along and offers zero pushback.

[@halflifeproductionz]

They both work for the same masters

[@ricki-bobby]

I see Margaret Hoover and I click

[@dgaydos]

She is on the ball. And gorgeous, no?

[@barbaramartinetti]

COTTON????? He;s MAGA all the way. As one glued to the hearings on c-span, I see NOTHING redeemable about him. National Security Advisor...you've got to be kidding!!!

[@jasonmassey-sk6mp]

Thank you PBS Margaret and HR

He doesn't say anything negative about any world leaders because we can't be an enemy of every country. Common sense.

[@lho09]

Seems like Gen McMaster is trying to be vague enough to sell more books.

[@letstalkaboutit7734]

This guy is blaming the American people for Trump being a deplorable person.

[@angelinahunter182]

Perhaps he's blaming the American people because they were stupid to elect con man Trump -- we knew Trump in Manhattan and he never paid his contractors -- Trump is a sleaze bag and yet Americans elected him president -- shame on them for being so stupid -- character matters!

[@jboy9995]

Oh stop watching the propaganda and use your own brain. This is why he won!

[@angelinahunter182]

@@jboy9995 Why felon Trump won is that his "low information voters" believed all his lies and Putin probably had something to do with it too.

[@ericbecker710]

All signs of rationality point to the absolutely critical necessity of keeping the Republican nominee away from power.

[@edalvarez9020]

This guy is useless. He cannot call things how they are.

[@jzotto7971]

Hoover is a sharp reporter but McMaster pushes back on all of her questions. His message is the voters elect.

[@1952RONALD]

Trust the electorate? Explain 2016..🤔

[@brianlavigne3579]

Nice interview. I'm glad you pressed him on the Trump rhetoric not being apples to apples with that of the Democrats. Sharp catch.

[@jboy9995]

That's because only one election was rigged lol. The 2020. Thank God we made it too big to rifmg this time 😂😂😂😂😂

[@coreyjohannsen8353]

Margaret is the best there is…. McMaster sounds more like a politician than a national security advisor- TAKE A STAND like so many men and women of integrity who worked with Trump who also have strongly warned against a 2nd Trump term!

[@jboy9995]

Ha-ha

[@StoicTao79]

H.R. McMaster from General to the politician giving broad vague non-answers-fail to address the subject of a question

[@mark-ish]

Keeping his criticism tempered for his next employment opportunity. He pretends to be apolitical, although he isn't, he just proves he's not as strong as Sen McCain was.

[@JoeKenn51]

Providing mulitple options is the core of good decision making.

[@jboy9995]

All these comments are hilarious. Trump for another term ❤❤

[@danmayberry1185]

Figures like McCain, McMaster, Milley inspired a sense of security that we might have taken for granted. Private citizens shouldn't be worried on a daily basis.

[@chrisrecord5625]

McMaster is a sad example of military cowardness.

Yeah right, H.R. McMaster. Stop thinking. It's making you more bald. If you're going to think, think about the reality that Trump is more dangerous than any other President this nation has ever had. Go on, spit it out.

[@janetsanders5356]

Yes

[@ThePlan-sv4nx]

McMaster is just as much of a grifter who makes money off of their experience with Donald Trump. I have about 30% trust of McMaster - more regarding what he concludes rather than what he says.

[@dammitdan106]

Oh that was a totally fair, neutral and non-partisan interview by the frying/uptalk interviewer. /

[@danashane]

We should set an example for the political class? wtf?....

[@donniemoder1466]

He is too kind in his description of Trump. It's weird. He finds Trump's flaws amusing, not dangerous. Listen to his giddy tone as he describes Trump, as if he is a misbehaving child instead of President.
