RAY MABUS, FORMER SECRETARY OF THE NAVY: He's saying, I am going to get involved. He's gotten involved, as I have said, over and over again and politicizes the military. It destroys the chain of command. It destroys military discipline when things like this happens, when you think that somebody will be punished or praised on a whim of the commander-in-chief.</s>ANDERSON COOPER, CNN HOST: In fact, the former -- the former Navy secretary ran afoul on the president because he had issues with the president getting involved in the case of the Navy</s>SEAL. MABUS: Absolutely. And I think that Secretary Spencer was trying to do what he thought the president wanted in that case, too. The president listened to evidently people in the media that said this person was a hero. So he gets involved with these things that he should not, that just destroys the notion of accountability, and just destroys of command and control, and just destroy the notion that our military ought to be apolitical and outside any sort of political considerations.</s>COOPER: Secretary Mabus. I appreciate your time today. Be careful in the days ahead. Thank you.</s>MABUS: Thank you.</s>COOPER: Coming up, the stimulus $2 trillion coronavirus relief package may not be enough to help Americans during these troubled financial times. Coming up next, I'll speak to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi about a possible face-forward stimulus plan of what she wants to have in it.
