OMG: Trump Just SCREWED HIM Over

Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are having a very bad day today because they just folded under public pressure on one of their big new announcements. They were advertising this in public saying it's going to be so great and now they've backtracked because the American people hated it. So we're going to talk about all of that and more in this video and more specifically, what comes next for Pete Hegseth because this has put him in a lot of hot water and Donald Trump is clearly trying to push the blame onto him. So please make sure to subscribe down below, drop a like on the video, comment. Let me know what you think about this story. And we are talking about this public execution that Trump and Pete Hegseth were advertising of the Fort Hood shooter. Not only were they planning to have it be public, but they were also planning to live stream it, which I think a lot of people, including myself and likely you at home, found pretty revolting. I mean, the execution of a human being for everybody to enjoy, it's like taking a tragedy, the whole event is a tragedy, and making it entertainment, which just really put a lot of people off. And this is what Donald Trump said on social media today. Announcing that they are not doing it anymore. And he tried to put blame on Obama, which is, you know, so typical Trump. But he said, Obama's FBI intercepted electronic communications between Hassan and the radical Yemeni-American cleric, Anwar al-Awlaki. When reviewed by his FBI terrorism task force, investigators concluded, that Hassan's emails were not a threat. This assessment of the Obama administration's actions was later considered to be a key intelligence failure. With all of that being said, I think streaming the execution for all to see might have been a strong deterrent for the world to witness how America deals with terrorists and scum like Hassan. But many very good and well-meaning people would rather not watch him die through streaming or through any other visual device. He will die, as scheduled, by firing squad, but this event will not be streamed. That said, the execution may be viewed in person by the immediate families of the victims, if they so choose. They deserve to witness justice. Thank you for your attention to this matter. So, number one, Donald Trump backing off of it, which I actually think is a good thing. He's not backing off of it because he has, you know, had an epiphany and he's become a good person and he's found some morals. He's backing off of it because it's right before the midterm elections. Americans don't like this. He doesn't want another thing to bring him down in the polls. So, to be clear, that's why he's doing it. But I do think, overall, this not happening and at least not being live-streamed is a good thing. And the idea that he's trying to blame Obama, for the shooting is just horrific. But that's who Donald Trump is. I mean, we kind of know that. And to be clear, it was really Pete Hegseth's idea. He was the one who was advertising this first before really anybody in the administration. He spoke with Real America's Voice, which is a right-wing propaganda outlet. And he was bragging about doing the execution via firing squad for the first time since World War II. But Major Hassan, this news that came down regarding firing squad, can you tell us about how that came about and what led to it? What led to that decision process? - No brainer, execution by firing squad. Army Major betrays his country. Radical Islamist kills a bunch of Americans at Fort Hood. Of course, we're gonna do it at Fort Hood. We're gonna do it on a Thursday. We're gonna do it at one o'clock, which is when he did it. And it's gonna be soldiers with rifles executing the firing squad. It hadn't been since World War II, since we've done that. Well, I kind of liked the mentality we had in World War II, which was win, which was understand when the enemy attacks you, you need to stand your ground. It's, he's very giddy about this. He's very giddy about an execution via firing squad and, you know, restarting the public executions haven't happened really since World War II. It's kind of weird. I don't think executions really are somebody dying. Yes, a very bad man who should be realistically sitting in prison for the rest of his life, no doubt about it. But just being giddy about somebody else dying just feels a little weird to me. And it makes me very concerned, the fact that this guy is the defense department secretary. You know? He's also saying, quote, he's going to get firing squad of soldiers as it should be. We'll make sure that people are able to watch it, that it's public because people need to understand that there's serious consequences for these type of things. So he was bragging and advertising this live stream, which put the administration in a weird spot because, you know, Donald Trump then had to go on the record and talk about it. JD Vance had to go on the record and talk about it. A bunch of Republicans had to do just that, but things started to turn. Once this news got out and Hegseth was talking about it on social media, Donald Trump was talking about it, Republicans had begin to turn. For example, Bill Maher, who's not really a Republican, sometimes dabbles in Republican ideology, said their argument would be, if I could play devil's advocate is that, you know, if you want to impress these kind of people, you have to be as brutal as they are, you know, fool around and F around, and you're going to find out what happens. But Senator Tom Tillis, a Republican from North Carolina, who was on his show said, "You are putting Americans at risk and you are building a recruiting video for more people doing what they did at Fort Hood. It's stupid on stilts and he's good at that. It really makes me angry. This is not who we are. This is not the warrior ethos that the American people expect and it's certainly not what a lot of people I talk to in the DOD want." Bill Maher saying, I could see- - You're listening to a quick ad. You know what else is quick? Selling your car on Carvana. Just put in your vehicle information and we'll give you an offer. Done. No hassle, no negotiation, no guy from an online listing low-balling you, which means by the time I'm done explaining this, you could have basically done it. Still haven't started? Hey, better late than never, sell your car today on Carvana. Pickup fees may apply. - Get like burning a Quran. Like it could inflame the Muslim world. Another guest on the show saying, or make them a martyr, you know? Yeah, a propaganda video, even worse. Tom Tillis saying the execution is fine. Saying that perhaps the making it live streaming is bad, but the execution happening is fine. JD Vance also was saying that he wouldn't watch it, which was an interesting statement from the vice president. A Catholic, by the way, a bunch of Catholics like including the Pope have come out and condemned it. But this is what he said. - People don't forget that this is a guy who brutally murdered a lot of innocent people. Now that said, I mean, look, if it's ultimately live streamed, I'm not gonna be watching it. - Mr. Vice president. - And that really snowballed into other people saying that they're not going to watch it either. Trump also commented about it. And this is what he said at the White House when speaking to reporters. - Republicans believe you'll be okay. - We don't want cheating. You understand me? Go ahead. - What is a live stream, Mr. President? Have you approved? - Go ahead, ask your question. - You're a lawmaker. You're on both sides of the aisle who have criticized the idea of live streaming the execution of Nizar Hassan. They say that he could radicalize other-- - Well, you have two thoughts. He's a vicious killer, killed 13 people in cold blood, wounded over 20. Some of those people will never have their lives back in a true sense. He was vicious. He was violent. There are two thoughts. Don't show it and show it. Because you know, by showing it, maybe other people won't be doing what he did. - I'll make a decision ultimately. I know what the military would like to do, but we'll make a decision. - So he sounded somewhat interested in doing it there, but eventually the decision became not doing it. Even Mike Johnson chimed in saying that this could be used to radicalize somebody. Mike Johnson told CBS News that in some, that some members of the House of Representatives in the Republican conference don't approve. And he said he planned on bringing those concerns to the White House saying, quote, "There are colleagues who have concerns," Johnson told National Correspondent. Chief Washington analyst, Robert Costa, quote, "The concern would be that you would create a video "that would be a recruiting tool for future terrorists. "You know, we've got to think "through the policy implications of all of that. "I wouldn't be watching it if it was aired, "but there's a lot of opinions on that. "I think there's still some talk "or some time to talk about that. "I need to tell the White House "what some of my colleagues think about that. "And not everybody is in favor of the idea." And here, I think is what the, the straw that broke the camel's back in many senses. One of the daughters of a victim of, of the Fort Hood shooting went on CNN and slammed the idea of a public execution saying it just kind of adds on to the tragedy. This is what she said. - And what do you think about the idea of live streaming the execution of this man? - I think that is absolutely the worst thing you can do. I think this has nothing to do with justice. This is becoming a tragedy turning into entertainment. And, you know, I, I can't imagine with social media how horrific it would be and how widespread it would be. It is not something that you could just get away from. And I don't think that this does not bring anyone's family back. Live streaming isn't a closure for any of us. You know, I can't speak for most of the families, but I can say, you know, several of us that I've talked to, like those who are prepared and ready and want this execution for their closure, live streaming is just something that is not even on their radar that they think is okay. This is just a really horrible reaction and a way to handle this situation. - And I think, you know, whenever you're dealing with a situation like this, the victims and their families come first. They have to be number one when you're thinking about repercussions, consequences for the perpetrator. And the fact that pretty much all of them, or at least according to this daughter, that, you know, she's speaking to others and they're saying they don't want this either, that they find it to be really cruel, that should be the first thing in people's minds. And Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth didn't even consult them. Like they didn't, before making this decision, they decided what was best for the families. They didn't ask the families what they thought was best. They just said, well, we know best. And so we're gonna do this even if you guys don't want to. And I just think that's really gross. It goes to show you that really Donald Trump and Hegseth were not endorsing this idea because they thought it was a form of justice. They were endorsing the idea because it's entertainment and they want to appear tough and strong for the world. And they're just not that. They are weak, sad, pathetic men. Even Donald Trump's own voters as well. This is Fox News. Fox News said Americans are ripping the Pentagon's decision to live stream the execution. This is Fox News speaking to MAGA voters. The Fort Hood shooter who killed people on a military base in 09. If that's live streamed, that execution, what do you think about it? I think that's absolutely absurd. I think they should keep that discreet and off of the public news. I mean, it's fine to execute him. He did wrong. But to make it public and make it known and seen like that, I think that's a shame. I think that's a shame. And the American people agree. Eight out of 10 Americans. So 80% of people in this country, which you rarely see an agreement saying that this would be a very bad thing to do. And it's kind of gross. And the real repercussions are probably coming for Donald Trump. You know, in the midterm elections, they're not that far away. I think people really are just seeing all of these stories stack up against Donald Trump and they're pretty disgusted. But perhaps the worst consequences in surrounding this story in particular is coming for Pentagon Pete. Hegseth, as people like to call him. His soldiers were revolting over the live execution when it was still planned. At least 60 soldiers want to recuse themselves as potential members of a firing squad after Hegseth ordered that it be live streamed. The Military Religious Freedom Foundation, a nonprofit that advocates for service, members, constitutional rights, alleged that dozens of active duty service members have quote, religious or moral objections to being part of this execution for a variety of different reasons. Even have some former military chiefs revolting over this plan. Dozens of retired American military leaders have demanded that Hegseth scrap the plan. The extraordinary intervention by 72 former senior officers, including generals, admirals, and military lawyers comes as outrage grows over the defense secretary's decision to broadcast the killing. of Nadal Hassan. So, even former military members, high ranking military members saying this is disgusting. And here's the bad part for Hegseth. His future has kind of been in the balance for a long time. You know, Donald Trump has so far not fired him. There's been a lot of conversation that Donald Trump might do that one day. And it seems like he's gotten some bad news about his future. Donald Trump's Pentagon chief is headed for an impeachment showdown if the Democrats can make good on their thumping poll lead ahead of the November 3rd midterms. Quote, "If I were Hegseth, I'd be worried," Michigan Representative Kristen McDonald Rivette told Semaphore in a report published on Friday. "It's certainly something that needs serious consideration. I hear Democrats, yes, but I also hear some Republicans saying it as well. I think there's a lot he needs to answer for." McDonald Rivette's warning reflects growing consensus in her party that the embattled defense secretary should be an early target for investigation if they can take control of the House, which I completely agree with. I think Hegseth, I think Marco Rubio, I think RFK Jr. as well. Certainly. And of course, Donald Trump and his family. They all have to be day one targets of investigations. I'm talking subpoenas going out the very first day of Democrats taking back any chamber of government. Hopefully both the House and the Senate, but any chamber of government. We need some investigations and to look into these people, especially this most recent decision, the war crime allegations against Hegseth as well. There's a lot. There's a long list, a very long list. So look, I will leave the video there. I just wanted to break down this development for you and talk about it a little bit.
