- Coast Guard Rear Admiral David Barata:Yes, yes, I recognize that.
Eli Crane: Do you recognize that the president made direct maritime interdictions when enforcing sanctions or national security measures, Admiral?
-
Coast Guard Rear Admiral David Barata: Yes, I do. We follow that.
-
Eli Crane: Okay. So one of the things that's concerned me as a former service member myself is a video that was made by Senator Mark Kelly and several other senators who just a couple months ago, they made a video to tell service members that they don't need to follow unlawful orders.
Admiral, are you familiar with this video?
-
Coast Guard Rear Admiral David Barata: I have not seen the video itself.
I was following the news story, obviously, and the escalation of the decision.
-
Eli Crane: It made national news, did it not, Admiral?
-
Coast Guard Rear Admiral David Barata: It did, indeed.
-
Eli Crane: Did you or any of the other high-ranking Coast Guard officers that you work with fear that a video like that might undermine your chain of command?
