The Story With Martha MacCallum

certainly the secretary of defense, if he is going in for cancer surgery, should have disclosed that to the chain of command, but also to the american people. the same thing when he contacted an infection and required hospitalization, again. i think we have actually covered this story pretty well, martha. i would like a little more, if i could. >> martha: i hear you. just want to add, president biden just commented on it. he said it was clearly a lapse of judgment, that just happened while you and i were speaking, in allentown, that is why we are circling back around that. let's get to the retaliation and the pentagon today just a little while ago say that they do expect that the houthis will retaliate against the united states, and kirby also said earlier that the united states is not looking for conflict with iran. what's your reaction to that discussion from the pentagon exabout expected retaliation? >> yeah, that's a great point. let me just clear something up that happened in the last

was sent to the icu. the president describing that as a lapse in judgment. i think he was also asked if he was in contact with secretary austin, which he replied yes. >> you heard the part that i didn't hear. i couldn't make that out. he did say also he has delivered a message to iran, they know not to do anything amid these questions about whether what is going on in the middle east is going to balloon to something larger, and then he said they're going to make sure to respond to the houthis, the iran backed rebels, as long as they continue their outrageous behavior. we will expect more ahead from president biden. we will be back in just a moment. >> [ music ]

we are asked acting and would expect some type of response. again, that is one missile that failed, that did and thankfully damage any ships in the red sea. we are going to continue to monitor the situation. again, we feel very confident that we were effective yesterday and being able to not only disrupt but degrade the capabilities that they have had access to. >> just moments ago, president biden was asked if defense secretary austin showed a lapse in judgment by not providing notice of his hospitalization earlier. several days passed before the president knew that the -- i'm sorry, secretary austin was in the hospital. when he was asked that question, biden said, yes. does the pentagon have that? >> the secretary did take responsibility for his actions there. he did apologize for not notifying the white house about his procedure. again, right now, what we are thinking for him, and that he

that biden is not talking to is secretary of defense every single day anyway. >> is it not common practice for the president to speak with the secretary of defense daily while two consequential wars raise? >> they do, quite often. again, we are coming off a holiday period. our staffs, i can tell you, are in touch almost on an hourly basis. again, there was no lapse in command of control. our national security was never at risk, and i would reiterate again the fact that the secretary did not only apologize, but take on stability for not notifying the white house of his own procedure that did occur. and again, i will also stress that we are doing a 30 day review to examine her own process easier to examine what worked and what did not work. and when we have those results, of course, we will be previewing those as well. >> it just seems odd to me, this is not the director of the bureau of weights and measurements. this is the secretary of defense and there are two major
