Pete Hegseth is stupid. He's a drunk and he is a stupid drunk. And every single person around him knows that very well. And it is all beginning to come out in a not-so-small drip, drip, drip. It is like the floodgates have opened. Which really makes me think that something is coming to Pete that he is not going to enjoy. More and more resignation calls. Firing calls. Please just leave the plan. Minute earth calls are coming for Pete Hegseth. And it is because he is a drunken moron. I do not want to sugarcoat it. And nobody should. That is what he is. He is a murderer. He is a war criminal. And he needs to be removed. And if we continue to see people speak out like they have, maybe that will be the case. I want to cover the latest resignation bombshell that has been dropped on Hegseth from someone who quit. Yes, someone who left Pete. We've got a lot to talk about. But I want to get. To the heart of this issue. Why people are calling for Hegseth to be removed. To resign. To be fired. And it is because he is a broken person. There is nothing that is going to change about this man. And nothing reveals it more than the reporting I want to start with. Before we get to this bombshell news. Hegseth's bizarre selfie fixation doomed top army general. The defense secretary's ouster of a four-star general had ridiculously petty motivations. Pete Hegseth. Hegseth's crusade to oust a once-in-a-generation general stemmed from a photo that the defense secretary didn't like. Hegseth, who served in the Army National Guard and had two deployments as an officer to Iraq in Afghanistan, waged a war against General Christopher T. Donahue, a four-star general seen as a rare talent by his peers and superiors alike. According to a report from the New York Times, Hegseth, a former Fox News reporter, who was a Fox News weekend fill-in anchor, who has faced scrutiny over his drinking and alleged affairs during and between his three marriages, claimed his distaste for Donahue stemmed from one thing in particular, a photo. On August 30, 2021, Donahue, 57, was the last American soldier to leave Afghanistan during the disastrous U.S. withdrawal, which stemmed from a deal Trump cut with the Taliban during his first turn. Unbeknownst to Donahue at this time, an Army photographer used an iPhone and night-vision monocule to capture the lone general boarding a military cargo plane in a photo that would later be widely circulated, the Times reported. The photo was taken at 11.59 p.m. at the International Airport in Kabul, one minute before the agreed deadline for the Americans to withdraw from Afghanistan. When Donahue landed in Qatar, his wife informed him that the now-famous photo was plastered across every news site, according to paratroopers who overheard the conversation and spoke to the Times. This is not good, they recalled him saying, and he was right. Five years later, Hegseth fixated on the grainy, green-and-black photo that he mistakenly dubbed a selfie. The photo was captured four days after a lone ISIS suicide bomber killed 13 service members, American service members, who were not under Donahue's command, along with at least 170 Afghans at the airport, an incident that Hegseth has wrongly associated with Donahue's, according to reports. That was partly what fueled camera-loving Hegseth's determination to shove the decorated general out of the door. The other reason, of course, was that Donahue was revered, I should say, respected and admired, three attributes that reportedly aren't exactly used to describe Hegseth at the Pentagon. Hegseth told his advisors and Joe Casper, his chief of staff, that he didn't care after being listed, given a card listing reasons to keep Donahue. Republican Senator Tim Sheehy, a former Navy SEAL, threw his support behind Donahue, but according to the Times, he was told by General Dan Cain that his efforts were only making things worse. Army Secretary Dan Driscoll, a close friend of J.D. Vance from Yale Law School, also attempted to orchestrate an intervention from the vice president to keep Donahue, but when Hegseth discovered that he had set up a meeting between Vance and Donahue, he canceled it, according to a report. At his retirement ceremony, Donahue was called a once-in-a-generation general, and then when the bourbon began to flow at that very retirement party, the official said it became clear that Driscoll had reached his limit with Hegseth. Driscoll's going to resign this week, was the sentiment they told the Daily Beast, and of course this happened, that resignation, on September 2nd. Hegseth, who never achieved a rank higher than major, has fired or blocked promotions for some 80 of the nation's top officers, roughly 10%, of the U.S. highest-ranking officers. So Hegseth has picked a fight with what was described as a once-in-a-generation general because he misunderstood a photo and got his feelings hurt that he wasn't as popular, right? That is who Pete Hegseth is. Like, that is something that you cannot change about him. He is just a broken person who needs as much attention and admiration as Donald Trump, and both men know that it is certainly undeserved, they don't care, which is why Pete Hegseth's former spokesperson right now is calling for him to resign. If I'm Pete Hegseth, I would look at what's in the interest of the president and not think about yourself, but think about what is in the interest of the president. I think Kristi Noem hung on too long, and finally President Trump had to move her out. I think she would have done him a solid, and Pete Hegseth can do the president a solid by just saying, hey, you don't need more distractions at this point with two years remaining, only two years remaining in your term. So you believe that Pete Hegseth should resign in the interest of the president? I think that Pete Hegseth needs to take a long, hard look at what's happened under his tenure for the last year and a half and conclude that even though he's got the best of intentions, he's done real damage to the military by dragging the military into these culture wars and treating the military like his own personal playground in those culture wars. That's something. That's something where if you really want to get rid of or restore standards and lethality, which I've been doing for 14 years, 15 years longer than Pete Hegseth has done, then you want to do that in a quiet, measured way that doesn't, that's not a polarizing atmosphere the way he's done now. And so, for example, like Bob Gates, who was named by President Bush after the disastrous tenure under Rumsfeld, and they lost the midterms there. Right after the midterms, they replaced him, Bush did, with Bob Gates, Bob Gates stayed on with Obama, served for four years and was really low key just like Secretary Ratcliffe at CIA. We need somebody who lowers the drama and gets the job done because President Trump, if you're truly loyal to him, we know he deserves better from a defense secretary just like he deserved better from a DHS secretary. And he's only got a short period of time to enact his reforms and it's sad that we're at this point, but hey, let's pick it up. Let's change it up and get something done along the President's important reforms for the next two years. I said this when we were first talking about Signalgate because the reporting was quite interesting. Everyone resigning or leaving Hegseth, calling on him to step down during that time. These were people who were saying that Hegseth should quit. Why? Not because that they were, they were the deep state as Pete alleged or because, you know, they were trying to undermine Trump. As he also said, no, these were people who, when they left the Pentagon and left working for Pete Hegseth, said that they wanted him to step down because Pete was hurting Donald Trump, right? That these were such big fans of Donald, they said Hegseth had to go because he was causing political issues for the president. It is why when people continue to come out against Pete, you know, Tom Tillis isn't as compelling, but a spokesperson here, a general there, more and more leaks out of the Pentagon, it begins to become more compelling because they're speaking to Trump, right? They're not speaking about the dangerous threat that Hegseth is, how incompetent he is. No, no, no. They are speaking directly to Trump. And I also think it's a problem that Pete Hegseth can no longer appear on Fox because they're so pissed that Hegseth kicked all of their reporters out of the Pentagon. Remember when we covered on the show Hegseth's effort to oust from the Pentagon anyone who wouldn't truly turn over their reporting? And allow him to say yay or nay to what they were sharing in their findings, in their reporting, in their journalism on the ground? Well, Fox was a part of that, so they've held it against Pete and he doesn't go on TV anymore. So Pete Hegseth right now is withholding information at the Pentagon, they're hiding their war crimes, all the while he is a part of building out the surveillance state. Like it is terrifying and it's why when I Googled myself this week, I was honestly shocked because I found my home address, my phone number, and relatives listed on directory sites I had never signed up for. And that's the data broker economy. This is the surveillance state. Companies are selling your personal info to whoever's paying. And it's not ideal when you're trying to avoid getting doxxed.

And I think right now, making sure we are battling back against those who want to surveil us and steal our data is so important, and it especially is to me with these people hiding everything. And they are doing it because largely what they're trying to hide is their incompetence, how stupid they are, and I'm glad that's why Mark Kelly gave that assessment of Hegseth when he called them out right here. Seems to be this very deliberate attempt by the defense secretary to, I don't know, communicate some alpha male bro-style testosterone talk. Every time he speaks publicly, he seems to be invoking some version of tough guy. How do you think that lands with service members? I don't want to presume I know, but it seems to be a deliberate strategy, so I'm wondering how you think it may work. Well, I'm not sure. I mean, there's some evidence we see. I mean, he got on a stage in front of admirals and generals and senior enlistees, ran around and talked about lethality and killing people and expected this big round of applause at the end. And when there was, you know, what he got was crickets. I've got tremendous respect for the apolitical nature of the military, and he was given a political speech, and he's trying to communicate his vision for what he wants the U.S. military to be. We are the most lethal, capable fighting force this planet has ever seen. Our problem isn't lethality. You know, our problem is sometimes we put idiots in charge of things, and they make big mistakes, and they'll take this country to war for no good reason. And it's always guys like, you know, certainly Donald Trump, who avoided military service. You know, Pete Hegseth, I think he's a little bit harder to explain, and the reason is he should know better. I think he missed something when he served. I think he missed something when he was on active duty and didn't really understand the fundamental nature of the U.S. military. We are capable, we're lethal, that's not the problem. We don't need, we don't need more testosterone in the U.S. military right now. What we need is better leadership. Pete Hegseth is just a moron, flat and simple. It's that easy, it is that obvious. He is a stupid person, and he is performing like he is a smart person, or I guess a macho man, trying to go at what he believes are the parts of the military that it's keeping, that's keeping it from working at its highest level. But that's not true. Pete Hegseth can't do fake push-ups and fake pull-ups and fake bench weights that aren't real. His way into opening the Strait of Hormuz, no amount of testosterone shots are going to make Iran, I don't know, give up any concessions in this war. It's just not going to happen. He's a moron, he should resign. We're going to keep on calling him out on this. And if you want to support that, as always, you can hit that subscribe button, leave a like on this video.
