Veterans Tony Shaffer and Blaine Holt explain why US will be at risk if Joe Biden stops working after 8 pm

WASHINGTON, DC: On Friday, July 5, during a Newsmax interview, retired US Army Lt Col Tony Shaffer and retired US Air Force Brig Gen Blaine Holt discussed the potential consequences for the US if President Joe Biden indeed reduces his work hours after 8 pm due to needing more sleep.

"This plays out very badly on the world stage," Shaffer said on ‘The Chris Salcedo Show', "We have (Russian President Vladimir) Putin, who does not believe (Biden is) in charge ... we have (Chinese President) XI (Jinping) doing things in China that are going to exacerbate their ability to do things in the Pacific.”

Shaffer continued, "And then, of course, is the domestic thing. ... Christopher Wray has said he cannot guarantee staying ahead (of), as director of the FBI, any terrorist attacks, because we have literally tens of thousands of undocumented likely operatives in the country. When you see this admission, there's no way Biden is adequately prepared to do the task."

The physical condition of the 81-year-old incumbent, who holds the record as the oldest-serving president in US history, has attracted considerable attention following his widely criticized debate performance against former President Donald Trump last month.

During the presidential debate, the Commander-in-Chief exhibited signs of confusion, incoherent speech, difficulty maintaining his train of thought, and his inanimate countenance.

What did retired US Air Force Brig Gen Blaine Holt say regarding President Joe Biden’s working hours?

During a meeting with a group of Democrat governors at the White House, President Joe Biden reportedly expressed the need to prioritize rest, limit working hours, and avoid late events.

This is a shift from previous reports suggesting that the Democrat statesman is most effective at his presidential duties between 10 am and 4 pm.

"Let me tell you what can happen after 8 o'clock at night," Holt remarked. "You could have a nuclear-tipped Kinzhal hypersonic missile launched from near Cuba. I know that's completely hypothetical."

"Your warning time is not 30 minutes. Your warning time is seven minutes. And so [it's crucial] having a national command authority that's razor-sharp, ready to go, or at least the processes in place," he continued.

"So let's play the dominoes. Let's say Israel goes to war with Hezbollah. Another big hypothetical. The domino flies. Iran is now in the war. Iran now gets its back into a corner. What do you think they do? They activate all those [terror] cells here. Who helps them? The Russians and the Chinese."

"We're very, very naive right now as a nation. It's all very funny until it's not funny that the incapacity at the top of the government is something we could all pay dearly for," Holt stated.
