with the top military adviser to President Trump and Biden.

After almost 45 years of service, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley

will retire at the end of this month.

I ask him about Russia, Ukraine, China, Taiwan,

plus his controversial appearance with Trump in Lafayette Park

and allegations that the US military has become too woke.

I would tell you that the military I see is a military that's exceptionally strong,

that's powerful, it's ready.

I'm talking about immigration.
