0:43All right, a confused, disoriented, wig-wearing president of the United States last night in Las Vegas forgot who his predecessor was when he was sworn in in 2025. Play the clip. is the greatest in the world, the strongest. We inherited a terrible mess. I inherited a mess from Obama and I inherited, frankly, I rebuilt the military. But a lot of our military was badly jeopardized, badly jeopardized by sleepy Joe Biden. Okay. This is a man who doesn't give a shit about the military. He's just recently and newly discovered that he can do things with it, which is incredibly, incredibly dangerous. And he hired, I think, the most immature member of his cabinet, which is Pete Hegseth, whose mother had to write a letter begging him to quit being a piece of shit.

1:38And the military is an absolute mess right now, because these white supremacists that are running it, and I'm talking about Pete Hegseth, refuses to promote people that are qualified. In fact, he fires them. He fires people that are black. He fires people that are women, because as I mentioned before, he's the most immature, emotionally stunted person that I think has ever been this high up in the United States government. I completely agree. Pete Hexas was chosen by Trump from a headshot because he spewed nonsense on Fox News and that's what he wanted. And here's the problem with, I mean, so many problems, but a problem is Pete Hegseth loves to act like he is a big, strong, tough guy.

2:31So when he is able to bomb boats with fishermen on it and kill people, he likes it. He likes double tapping on a girl's skull. It makes him feel strong and powerful. And Trump likes it too. They both think they're playing war games with people's lives. But when you have no empathy and you're able to devalue and dehumanize people, it's easy to do. So they are running around completely destroying the military because Pete Hexeth can't have anybody in the military that's more qualified or knows more than he does. And that is a very, very low bar. And it's incredibly dangerous. But, you know, This administration, I've always pontificated that it's a really toxic work environment.

3:22And you have a lot of jockeying. You have a lot of throwing people under the bus. Again, these people are incredibly unqualified and emotionally stunted. And I'm sure they're paranoid at all times. So, of course, there's leaks out the wazoo with this regime. And here is one right here that allegedly Trump is pissed at Pete Hegseth. Pop this up. Exclusive President Donald Trump's frustration over the Iran war boiled over at Camp David last week, where he demanded answers from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on why he had apparently been misled on extreme munitions shortages that now threaten to limit military options with Iran.

4:05Now, I will point out that I read this morning that Caroline Levitt has taken to x and she's like i was there and this never happened which tells you it 100 did happen i mean the more they deny something the more i firmly believe that it absolutely did happen but this is the problem with people who think they know more than experts they are going to screw this thing up and have screwed this thing up there was first of all no need to go to war with iran Barack Obama had a nuclear agreement with the country that was working, that was successful. But no, not with MAGA. A black guy did it. So we think we can do it better.

4:45And oh, yeah, we like to blow shit up with Bibi Netanyahu. So we think we can do it better. And I think Pete Hexeth, I don't know how much longer he's going to survive as Secretary of Defense. I think it's going to offer Trump. Susie Wiles will chime in to Trump and say, hey, why don't you can him? and before the midterms and say, we're winding the war down so that this won't be such a hot topic into the midterm. So my estimation is that he's got about three months before he's shitcanned. I can't wait for that moment because I think this man ought to be in jail. I think he should be prosecuted for the war crimes that he has committed.

5:23But here's the thing on Trump. Trump is the commander in chief, as much as that pains me to say it. He is ultimately responsible. But the problem is he cannot take accountability for anything. So it has to be somebody else's fault. And Pete Hexeth is the obvious target because he is a complete dipshit. And when I read what is going on with military service members, how they're being treated, I just read an article last night about the USS Abraham Lincoln. There's food shortages, water shortages. The ship doctor is talking about mental health crisis because they've been at sea for nine months. And here's the deal.

6:05Pete Hexeth does not have the skills or the knowledge to be able to devise a plan to help service men and women. It's really stunning how this whole movement is rah-rah the military. And every single time you turn around, they are fucking them and putting a knife in their back. And this isn't new. The Republican Party for decades has exploited the service of military people, people that serve in the military. You have to realize that the recruiters go into very poor neighborhoods and recruit the poorest among us and they send them to the front lines. It's not Dick Cheney's kid. It's not Barron.

6:47It's not Pete Hegseth. It's not J.D. Vance. Ben Shapiro, who's all raw, raw, sis, boom, bah about the war with Iran. his ass isn't going to go fight the front lines and then they never fund the warrior they never fund them when they get back all of this is to fund the military industrial complex republicans have lied for decades about supporting the military they use it as a manipulative exploitation at the ballot box because so many people in america have no culture no culture in their towns they live in cookie cutter neighborhoods. There's no arts. There's no diversity. So they cling on, just like Obama said, they cling on to gods and guns and they cling on to this idea of patriotism.

7:33And the Republicans brilliantly exploit that and they exploit it to the hilt and they have for decades. It is a lie that the Republicans are good with the economy. It is a lie that the Republicans give a shit about the troops. It is a lie that Republicans give a shit about balancing the budget. It's a lie that they're patriotic. These guys are parasites. They exploit Americans for very, very, very few people. And all we need to know that the Pentagon is in complete disarray is to look no further than this rambling, psychotic truth social post. Pop this up. The U.S. has massive amounts of munitions, especially of certain types.

8:14Additionally, large amounts are being manufactured and shipped to the U.S. as needed. Defense companies are building the largest number of plants and factories in our country's history. The leakers of these treasonous statements are being hunted down. Long-term jail sentences will be sought. Okay, so, I mean, that isn't authoritarian at all. Are you serious? You're going to hunt down leakers and jail them? And then these people want to preach to us about freedom and about the Constitution? Are you serious right now? The Republican Party is a death cult. The MAGA cult is a death cult. This is utterly insane.

8:53They are ripping up every sense of decency that this country has ever had. And I'm not saying we had a lot of it, but we were on the trajectory of always trying to right wrongs and to at least progress. These people are so regressive. They are so broken. They will not stop until they break everything in an effort to fix themselves. And they'll never be fixed because that's how broken these men are. I completely agree with you. And the thing about Donald Trump is, and I've noticed this throughout the course of his political career, everybody leaks. And instead of trying to go to the source and saying, okay, how can we rebuild munitions?

9:34We have a munitions problem. How can we war game around the depleting munitions? It is all full tilt on the leakers. They never Donald Trump doesn't want to solve a problem. He just wants to talk about the people that exposed the problem because exposure may lead to accountability. And that is something that is just intolerable to him. All right. We all know how it goes. You go, go, go work, running errands, and all of a sudden hunger strikes. You open up the refrigerator. You open up the pantry. You make a really bad choice. But you don't have to.

You know, it's obvious that they're going to hunt down leakers because he doesn't call them liars. He calls them leakers. So this is 100 % true. But everything with MAGA is just a quick, they have no impulse control. It's just an impulsive decision.

12:27We're going to do this right now. And they never play the tape through as to what the consequences are. And typically you would want leaders that are big enough thinkers to think long-term. You know, I just got back from Europe and all anybody talks about over there is the heat waves and all of the climate stuff that's happening right now. We had an opportunity in the United States when Al Gore actually did win the presidency. That's when the Supreme Court first started really, really showing that they're capable of doing what they're doing now. We could be leading on all of this stuff, but we're not.

13:01We're going to appoint the people that lie to the public, that go and watch Fox News. All of these idiots, idiots that sit down and watch Fox News every day, knowing they had to pay a billion dollars for pathologically lying to their audience. And so we have a cultural problem in America where the Republicans have exploited people with information, and then they exploit their wages to get all of the worst Americans possible richer. And so on this Pete Hegseth track, there is new reporting on how Pete Hegseth is completely destroying the Department of Defense. Pop this up. Bryce Green posts, holy shit, wired reports that back in May, the U.S.

13:47military was testing an experimental GPS jammer and caused a civilian plane to crash into the side of a mountain, killing everyone on board. Of course, this isn't reported immediately. Of course, this is the same Department of Defense that double-tapped a girls' school in Iran. Of course, this is the same Department of Defense that fired the adults in the room, that looked at Trump, that looked at Hegseth, that looked at Rubio, that looked at Vance. And apparently, Benjamin Netanyahu was also in the room and said, do not go to war with Iran. We will not win. It is unnecessary. So this is where this stuff gets so dangerous.

14:28They're doing all of this stuff with RFK Jr. That's really dangerous. All of these military provocations abroad are going to have years-long impact. And I think they're lying about the number of injuries, the number of casualties. I don't think we will know the full extent of all of what I believe to be crimes that this regime has committed in the military until long after they are out of power. Absolutely. And just a secondary point to the lives lost is the lies coming from them about the damage done to the United States in terms of infrastructure overseas. And we're already talking, Pete Hegsess wants a trillion more dollars, and we're going to build ships for another$300 million.

15:19But the reality is the cost to the American taxpayer, because of the blunders by this administration led by Pete Hegseth, to bases abroad, to the munitions, all of the things, the lives lost is the most important. The loss of the reputation of the United States military is important. The loss of the shining beacon on the hill of democracy, that's lost. But the cost to the American people, to me, is going to be astronomical. Like a trillion dollars is going to be a quaint number when we look at how much damage the U.S. military has suffered because of the leadership of Pete Hexeth. I completely agree.
