Full interview.
🚨 REPORT: Pentagon "stunned" and worried over Trump's selection of Pete Hegseth for Secretary of Defense - AP
"The news was met with bewilderment and worry among many in Washington."
"Hegseth’s choice could bring sweeping changes to the military. He has made it clear on his show and in interviews that, like Trump, he is opposed to “woke” programs that promote equity and inclusion. He also has questioned the role of women in combat and advocated pardoning service members charged with war crimes."Something people need to understand about the Hegseth pick.
Our navy can barely build ships anymore. Our army has squandered years of munitions on the Ukraine quagmire.
Our soldiers are out of shape and morale is low.
Our country lost in Afghanistan and is losing right now to Houthis in Yemen.
Our military purged thousands of experienced patriots for not getting a Covid shot.
Professors warn that standards at our service academies have declined precipitously.
Our military had officers pick a fight with Tucker Carlson because he didn’t want pregnant women on the frontlines.
Our military admits mentally ill people who think they are the opposite sex and pays for their unnecessary medical procedures.
Our generals leak to the media about defying orders they might not like from President Trump.
All of this happened with “experienced” establishment generals running things. It’s unacceptable, and if it continues our country will keep losing wars, until we lose one we can’t afford to lose.
We need a SecDef who understands the scale of this problem and is ready for bold, decisive action. We need a smart outsider — and Pete Hegseth is a brilliant man who has thrived in the military, in academia, in finance, and in media. He understands the nature of this crisis and is ready to attack it immediately.
The people complaining think things are fine. They are afraid of losing cushy sinecures and lavish contracts. They want to maintain a failing status quo that works for them.
They should be ignored.
