The Constitution assigns to the Senate the power to approve the president's nominations of officers of the United States. This includes general and flag officers at the Defense Department. But this year, Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville has held up all the promotions, including to some of the highest jobs in the military. Nick Schifrin discussed the hold with retired Admiral Mike Mullen.

There has been no shortage of confrontations between the U.S. and China this year. This week, shortly after a trip by Secretary of State Antony Blinken to Beijing, intended to thaw relations with China, President Biden likened Chinese President Xi Jinping to a "dictator" in off the cuff remarks. A spokesperson for the Chinese Foreign Ministry called that "an open political provocation." Before that there were dust ups over TikTok and a Chinese spy balloon.But one of the most intractable and volatile issues continues to be the fate of Taiwan. And a new report sponsored by the Council on Foreign Relations says that the U.S. and China are 'drifting toward a war' over the island. Two of the report's authors, former Deputy Director of National Intelligence Sue Gordon and Admiral Mike Mullen, formerly the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, argue the U.S. should take action now to prevent that outcome.In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment to help you make sense of what's going on in your community.Email us at considerthis@npr.org.

In this episode, host Dan Hesse talks with Admiral Mike Mullen, retired Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under two U.S. Presidents, about his unexpected career journey, the importance of mentors, how to lead during crises and how values shape our decision-making as a leader. Considered one of the most influential chairmen of the Joint Chiefs in history, Admiral Mullen oversaw the end of the combat mission in Iraq and the development of a new military strategy for Afghanistan, while promoting international partnerships, new technologies and new counter-terrorism tactics culminating in the killing of Osama bin Laden. That said, Admiral Mullen's first naval leadership assignment as a young officer did not go well. NOT AT ALL! Yet the lessons he learned, the leadership principles and skills he honed, and the focused persistence and perseverance he mastered as a result of that early failure—in great measure thanks to an exemplary mentor—led him to become the highest-ranking military officer in the country; Fast Company referred to Admiral Mullen as "a case study in 21st Century leadership." Now retired, Admiral Mullen teaches at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis and previously, for many years, taught at Princeton's Woodrow Wilson School of International and Public Affairs. In addition to his leadership and leader-forming mentorship, he is also known for his efforts on behalf of service members, veterans and their families. Find Show Notes below.

The 20th anniversary of 9/11 has now passed. Afghanistan remains a mess. The delta variant is ripping through thousands of unvaccinated lives. And there is new, looming domestic terrorism threat facing our Capitol this week.  It's all a painful reminder that our fun, vaccinated summer of 2021 is almost over. Fall is coming in fast. And it's definitely a time to stay vigilant. There have been 46 Presidents of the United States. There have been only 20 Chairmen of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. And you're about to hear from the best one of our lifetime.  Mike Mullen is a man who might have made a hell of a president. Mostly, because he never wanted to be one. But he's also a man who almost became a candidate for Vice President of the United States. And not as a Republican or a Democrat, but as an independent.  Independent Americans is continuing our unique, independent focus on the most urgent threats facing America. And exploring how they're all intertwined. And how we can pull them part--and fight them together. From 9/11, to the pandemic, to January 6th, to the debacle in Afghanistan, to the threats of domestic extremism--they're all a test of the fabric of our nation. And they all are made worse by how badly that fabric has been weakened since 9/11.  Is 2021 America what Osama Bin Laden would have dreamed of? 650,000 Americans dead, our international reputation in shambles, our politics paralyzed, our people divided, and literally, killing each other.  Just like 20 years ago this week, we have a choice to make. Do we stand with America and a brighter future? Or do we stand with the enemies, and the darkness that will extinguish the bright glow of the shining city on the hill?  It's another conversation that keeps it real. With tough lessons--and hard truths. The kind to help you stay vigilant. Because eternal vigilance is the price of freedom.  We're bringing the Righteous Media 5 I's: independence, integrity, information, inspiration and impact. We're going from last episode with the truth from a firefighter who stood on the pile, to this episode with the truth from the admiral, The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of staff, who was the senior military leader in the Situation Room, standing behind President Obama, watching the Bin Laden raid unfold on May 1, 2011. Admiral Mullen has been America's bodyguard. He was also the boss of every single man and woman in uniform who died in Iraq and Afghanistan. Welcome to a fireside chat with a true guardian of our democracy. An exploration of leadership--with a true patriot. A sailor, an Admiral, a warrior, a scholar...and maybe most importantly of all now, a grandfather. Our host, national security and political analyst and Army veteran Paul Rieckhoff (@PaulRieckhoff) takes you behind the scenes for candid conversations with top leaders from all backgrounds. It's a bold and blunt perspective you won't find anywhere else on the media landscape. You can support this show and join the community of listeners by joining our IA Patreon community.

Lawrence Jackson is a former official White House staff photographer for President Barack Obama, and currently serves as the official White House photographer for Vice President Kamala Harris.  When Lawrence Jackson took the job as White House photographer in early 2009, he knew he'd have a front row seat to history. What he didn't expect was the deep personal connection he would feel, as a fellow African American, with the President of the United States. Yes We Did is filled with Lawrence's intimate photographs and reflections, as well as first-person recollections from President Obama, everyday citizens, and notable personalities including Bono, Stephen Curry, Valerie Jarrett, Admiral Mike Mullen, and others. The book is a celebration of the most inclusive and representative White House in history – where in between momentous and pivotal decisions, the President and First Lady opened the doors of the People's House to schoolkids, athletes, senior citizens, hip-hop artists, and more.

Welcome to the DEFAERO Andy Marshall Strategy Series, our discussion with leading thinkers on security, business and technology. Our guest is Admiral Mike Mullen, USN (ret), the 17th Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and  Navy's 28th Chief of Naval Operations. Mullen retired from the Navy after over 42 years of service in 2012 and has been a visiting professor at Princeton University's School of Public and International Affairs and served on a number of corporate and philanthropic boards. This conversation is part of a series on strategists and strategy devoted to the memory of one of the nation’s greatest national security strategists, Andy Marshall, the former director of the Pentagon’s office of net assessment and sponsored by General Atomics Aeronautical Systems.

Philonise Floyd, brother of the late George Floyd, testified before a House hearing on Wednesday, urging lawmakers to “do the right thing” and take action on police violence. Meanwhile, coronavirus continues to rage in the U.S., spiking in 19 states, and taking a severe toll on black communities. Christiane Amanpour speaks to Mary Frances Berry, former Chair of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, about the interplay between democracy, racism and health at this crucial moment in America’s history. Then, to achieve lasting change, innovation will be needed not just in police departments, but in education, health and economic policy. Christiane speaks to Deval Patrick, former Governor of Massachusetts, about the structural reform America needs to see. And our Walter Isaacson speaks to Admiral Mike Mullen, former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, about why he chose to speak out after the National Guard were used to disperse protesters in Washington, and he gives his take on the growing militarization of America’s domestic police force.

Following the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis, spontaneous protests have arisen in all 50 states. Dave Tierney is one of the most respected attorneys in Arizona and is a sober and thoughtful voice. As a former participant in early civil rights activities in Mississippi in the early 1960s, he also has historical perspective on these issues. We pose questions to Dave about how our current situation is different from that of 50 or 60 years ago. In addition, we discuss three extraordinary written statements from military leaders, General Mark Milley (current Chairman of the Joint Chiefs), Admiral Mike Mullen (former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs), and Gen. James Mattis (former Secretary of Defense, appointed by President Trump). These unprecedented statements including the one from our current highest-ranking military officer demonstrate their concern about the possibility our military will be asked to intervene in peaceful protest or domestic affairs.

Civil-military relations can seem like daunting jargon to most civilians, but it refers to how the military engages with the public it defends. In the case of America, the largest military force in the world, it is very important what civil-military relations are like, and it is even more important when ex-military leaders talk about politics. For a traditionally taboo subject for military leaders, it is very uncommon for one, let alone two significant figures to speak out against an active president, let alone one they served under. David breaks down the messages from Mike Mullen and James Mattis while pondering the significance of these statements.

This interview is with Puck Mykleby who co-authored the book The New Grand Strategy: Restoring America's Prosperity, Security, and Sustainability in the 21st Century.  As the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Admiral Mike Mullen was immersed in two wars and wanted to know how those efforts and others fit into what ought to be America's Grand Strategy for a thriving 21st century America. So he put his staff officers, Colonel Mykleby and Captain Wayne Porter on the job to develop that strategy.  Listen to a plain-spoken, no-nonsense Marine give his take on What's America's Purpose and hear about the exciting opportunities we all have to build sustainable American prosperity.  From regenerative agriculture to walkable communities and resource efficiency, Puck has a knack for bringing the big picture down to earth.  Enjoy!

Considered perhaps one of the most influential Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in history, Admiral Mike Mullen takes a fresh approach to the most important issues of the 21st century—including America's global positioning and how business trends and the economic health of the U.S. directly impact our national security. Admiral Michael Mullen also shares his thoughts on how to eliminate fear, and why everyone needs to have a defined set of principles and moral values they should never violate.   Key Takeaways [4:25] Admiral Mullen has taken unpopular stances throughout his 42-year military career, but you have to take risks if you want to succeed. When he took command of a small ship in 1973, half of the people he knew said not to do it/it was too risky and the other half said that he should do it/it’s who we are. A few months in, he crashed the ship! It took him 11 years to recover professionally. [7:25] Admiral Mullen gets a lot of notoriety from his position on ‘Don’t Ask Don’t Tell.’ When Obama won, he knew the President required the help of the military. [10:45] Admiral Mullen taught History and the Practice of Diplomacy at Princeton for six years and has recently transitioned to the Naval Academy to teach leadership. [14:25] Admiral Mullen tries to teach young people about the importance of defining moral values and working with core principles. What do you stand for? You need to know. [17:25] There are three principles about the proper use of military force: military power should be the last resort of the state, force should be applied in a precise, principled way, and policy and strategy should constantly engage one another. [20:05] When you make a tough decision, you need constant feedback after, to understand how that decision is progressing and affecting the organization. [21:05] If a leader doesn’t give permission for their staff to fail and recover, then your team won’t be taking much risk in the first place. How do you eliminate fear? By empowering your people to fail. [28:20] People are so tied emotionally to how they’re feeling today that they put aside the organization they care about the most, the one they spend most of their life in, because of those feelings. Because of this, Admiral Mullen feels people do great damage to the military and its reputation. [32:50] Admiral Mullen would like to have a smaller army; that way if we do have to go to war and have to draft our sons and daughters for it, the American people along with Congress have to think very carefully whether doing that is the right choice. It’s way too easy to go to war today and that’s the most serious decision a president will ever have to make. [41:25] Veterans are having a tough time getting jobs and Admiral Mullen understands why. He has helped create veterans and throughout his career, he and his peers spent zero time helping veterans transition from military life to civilian life, and we need to get better at that. The transition phase is the hardest one to go through, not just for military personnel, but for their families, too. [48:15] Admiral Mullen gives a shout out to an organization that he and his wife deeply care about — TAPS (Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors).   Quotable Quotes “People who will not risk cannot win.” “In the military, even when it’s going really well, it’s a dangerous business.” “When you teach, you really do have an opportunity to reflect.” “What we do in one place affects so many other people in the organization.” “I had bosses who really encouraged me to take risks and when I fell on my face, they took care of me.”   Admiral Michael Mullen on Wikipedia Princeton University Faculty — Admiral Michael Mullen  17th Chairman of The Joint Chiefs of Staff — Admiral Michael Mullen Admiral Michael Mullen in The New York Times TAPS.org    ~~~~~ ~~~~~ Strategic Partners   The Leadership Podcast is proud to announce a new initiative with thoughtLEADERS to provide very short podcasts called Chalk Talks.

Admiral Mike Mullen, formerly the 17th Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, joins David to discuss President Trump’s decision to pull U.S. troops out of Syria, the state of our alliances today, his historic testimony in support of repealing Don’t Ask Don’t Tell, and his upbringing as the son of a Hollywood publicist.

David Axelrod, the longtime political consultant and commentator now serving as director of the UChicago Institute of Politics, has a unique perspective on civil-military relations. In 2004, Mr. Axelrod joined the U.S. Senate campaign of a young Illinois state senator named Barack Obama. Just four years later, he and his team of strategists orchestrated Mr. Obama’s historic campaign for the presidency. Then during the first two years of the administration, Mr. Axelrod served as a White House Senior Adviser, coordinating policy and communications -- where, among many other things, he observed the U.S. military and its role in a complex government. Mr. Axelrod joined Thomas and Nick for a special live episode before an audience of professors and graduate students at the Harris School of Public Policy. They discussed the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, political considerations in the national security process, the sometimes-tense relationship between the Pentagon and the White House, and Mr. Axelrod’s role as a political adviser. Also discussed: the USS JOHN McCAIN controversy, President Obama’s Nobel Prize, and the repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.

However, he/she doesn’t have operational command of troops. - A “flag officer” is any general or admiral in the armed forces. There are four levels of flag officer, each corresponding with a star that is worn on the officer’s rank insignia. - The “CNO” is the Chief of Naval Operations. The CNO is the administrative head of the U.S. Navy, but like the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, does not have operational command authority.

Admiral Mike Mullen, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has a unique qualification: He holds a master's degree in operations research, making him one of the highest placed executives - and military men – in the world with a quantitative degree.

Jonathan Alter, a Newsweek columnist and contributing correspondent for NBC News and MSNBC, joins the Council to discuss his new book, The Promise: President Obama, Year One. Providing an inside account of President Obama and his administration in action, Alter will assess Obama’s foreign policy performance so far—from sending over 60,000 more troops to Afghanistan, to the Copenhagen climate accord, to nuclear nonproliferation, to US-Israeli relations, to closing the detention facility at Guantánamo Bay, to combating terrorism at home and abroad. Among many revelations, Alter discloses that Obama reproached Admiral Mike Mullen, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, for encouraging insubordination, and pursued major healthcare reform in 2009 over the objections of his Vice President, Chief of Staff, and all of his other senior advisors. Alter will also discuss President Obama’s domestic initiatives, including the stimulus package, the bank and auto industry bailouts, regulation of the financial industry, and healthcare reform.

This is a sit-down interview with Vice Admiral John Morgan about building a community of trust in a "Pier-to-Pier" world. This relates to comments by Admiral Mike Mullen, the Chief of Naval Operations, U.S. Navy. Admiral Mullen is the top ranking Naval officer and a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and has been advocating the idea of a "1,000 Ship Navy", a pooling of the resources among nations, a community of trust that includes the sharing of information among navies of countries that may otherwise be untrusting of each other for political or economic reasons. A "...free-form, self-organizing network of maritime partners..." This is a somewhat informal relationship more like the one that grew the Internet than the command-and-control style of more traditional military or corporate relationships. Vice Admiral Morgan, interviewed here, has been speaking around the country on this topic. Recorded: 2007-03-05 Length: 19:48, Size: 9.1MB
