Ed Schultz: Thank you for being right here on The Ed Schultz Show. Daily listeners, love all of you. 1-877-934-6833. On the Hill right now, Senator Clinton is taking questions about whether she's ready to rock-n-roll as the Secretary of State in the Obama administration. She is vowing to renew U.S. leadership through a smart power mix of diplomacy and defense. For a professional take on this, General Wesley Clark, friend of mine and the program, right here on The Ed Schultz Show. General, great to have you back with us.

GENERAL WESLEY CLARK: Ed, thanks so much. It's great to be with you.

Ed Schultz: Happy New Year. It's a little late, but here we go. (chuckles)

GENERAL WESLEY CLARK: Same to you. Stay warm up there.

Ed Schultz: You bet. L-let's talk about Senator Clinton. Is this a good choice, and from what you know of interaction between Secretary of State and the military, is, is, is this, is this a good move by President-Elect Obama?

GENERAL WESLEY CLARK: I think it's absolutely an inspired choice. I think that she's going to be a great Secretary of State. She has the respect of the military. She has an enormous command of the subject matter, personal relationships, knowledge of programs, understanding of how the government works, the ability to, to bring together Congress and the Executive Branch. Ed, she's going to be phenomenal.

Ed Schultz: 1-877-943-6833. Great friend of the program, General Wesley Clark. General, Great to have you back with us.

GENERAL WESLEY CLARK: Great to be with you, Ed.

Ed Schultz: And Happy Thanksgiving to you. Looking forward to it?

GENERAL WESLEY CLARK: Oh, I certainly am. I'm out with my family out in the Los Angeles area, and we're having a great time.

Ed Schultz: Fantastic. Secretary of Defense Mr. Gates, looks like he's going to stay in that position. What are your thoughts on that?

GENERAL WESLEY CLARK: I think it's a, it's a good move. I think he's been a very effective, pragmatic Secretary of Defense. He's only been on the job a couple of years. There's some big issues that are going to be coming up for this administration right away, including both Iraq and Iran as well as a new strategy for Afghanistan. The President's clearly going to be in charge. Hillary's going to be the Secretary of State working the overall policy directions. Why not have an experienced guy who's got his, his feet on the ground for a few more months in the Secretary of Defense's position?

Ed Schultz: Has he been a good Secretary of Defense?

General Wesley Clark with Jon Elliott on "This Is America"

August 21 2008
Transcription by Melange

Jon Elliot: Welcome back with us America. I'm Jon Elliot and I'm delighted to welcome this particular guest to our program. I first had the privilege of talking to General Wesley Clark five years ago in August of 2003 and when he was ... the rumor was he was thinking about running for president at the time and I remember saying to him, ‘well I'm not going to ask you the question because Andy Card told us nobody markets a product in August' so uh, the gentleman that I really do believe is qualified to be Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Secretary of Defense, Vice President and President of the country and there aren't too many people like that. General Clark, how are you, sir?

GENERAL WESLEY CLARK: I'm fine. Thank you for those kind words, Jon.

Jon Elliot: Well, they're true sir, they really are. I've asked you on the program because I'm concerned about the sudden flair up in ... in Georgia and the response we received from John McCain and all of a sudden the focus seems to be away from Iran being the next great war frontier and uh, now there's a focus in Georgia. Are we in such a position that we are so weakened because of these two wars in Afghanistan and Iraq General, that we can't even contemplate any type of action ... and perhaps you would suggest that we shouldn't?
