TRASCRIZIONE 🔗
00:00:00
Speaker 1: He's unfit. Impeach him, try him, and remove him. This is The Warning.
00:00:08
Speaker 2: There has not been a news conference for almost 60 years that has been more lacking in credibility than the one that Pete Hegseth held this morning at the Pentagon, trying to defend himself against from impeachment. Now, in the day, during the Vietnam War, those news conferences came to be known as the five o'clock follies. They were held in Saigon. And everybody who was watching, the reporters, the military personnel, the American people, they all understood what was being said to them was lies. It was nonsense. And it all added up to 58,000 names on a wall, that Trump wants to build a victory arch looming over both the monument to that war and the graves in Arlington National Cemetery. Today, the former Fox News morning host and drunk, Pete Hegseth, issued an obscenity for us to ponder. which is that criticism of his insanity, his incompetence, his madness is an insult to the troops.
00:01:29
Speaker 3: This is not about me. Politicians in Washington have accused the sailors and the pilots who struck narco-terrorist boats of war crimes for doing their job. Senators in cute videos have suggested the same. This resolution is the next step. Put the secretary on trial today and the men and women who carried out those orders tomorrow. If they want to come for the warriors, they're going to have to come through me.
00:02:04
Speaker 2: It is a backhand to the airmen, the sailor, the marine, the guardian, the soldier, that demanding competence from the commander is a betrayal of the soldier. And of course, those are just the desperate words of a desperate man. What we saw today in real life was a performance that Humphrey Bogart would have recognized because he played the part of the psychologically failing commander, Captain Queeg, rolling the steel bowls in his hand as he hunted for who stole the strawberries first.
00:02:45
Speaker 1: On board.
00:02:46
Speaker 2: Pete Hegseth began his tenure by adding a reporter into a classified discussion over signal about a military strike. He is unfit, and the fact that he was confirmed by a Politburo is a sin. Today, Pete Hegseth talked about it being the 251st anniversary of of the formation of the United States Marine Corps. Where did the Marine Corps come from? Who is the Marine Corps' mother, if you will? It is the Congress. This moment in time demands that Congress become the master of the executive branch. It is the people's branch. It is the first branch of government, the Article I branch. And let's be clear. on this November 10th, the anniversary of the Kristallnacht in 1938, about what Stephen Miller is. He is not what Pete Hegseth says he is.
00:03:53
Speaker 3: As far as Stephen Miller is concerned, he is an incredible American patriot and a great friend of this department. We wouldn't have an ACCC, an America's Counter-Cartel Coalition, without Stephen Miller. We wouldn't have a secure southwest border for 18 months without what Stephen Miller has enabled. So he has... We've got no better friend at the Department of War than Stephen Miller. He'll be a fantastic chief of staff. He understands the president's agenda. He will stand. He will fight and defend this republic. And we're proud to be right there with him all the way.
00:04:23
Speaker 2: Pete Hegseth is what Tommy Massey says he is, though. And that is why he must be impeached. We have watched this insanity play out. We have seen the corruption. He must go.
00:04:36
Speaker 1: No member of Congress who would vote to.
00:04:39
Speaker 2: Maintain this sick man in office, including his egregious proselytizing evil as religion, a gospel that holds that blacks are less than and women have no place in the force. The remedy to Pete Hegseth is to dramatically raise the threshold of votes necessary to become Secretary of Defense. The reality is we don't have a Secretary of War in America. We just have a mentally addled drunk as the Secretary of Defense. And thank God our founders left us a remedy to get rid of him. It's called impeachment. And the standard is high crimes and misdemeanors. And if ever there was a government official that met that standard, it's this one.
00:05:28
Speaker 3: These are not high crimes.
00:05:31
Speaker 1: This is the job.
00:05:33
Speaker 3: And it's the job well done. For the first time in American history, A cabinet secretary overseeing America's military is being attacked not for losing conflicts with our enemies, but for winning them. Condemned not for defeat, but for military victory. The disgruntled congressman even admitted this himself yesterday. No failure here, just impeachment for success. As to the claim that the American military targets civilians, well, that is a lie, and that is a slander against every professional who flew, sailed, and fought on these missions.
00:06:16
Speaker 2: Pete Hegseth of Fox News. The single greatest disgrace, and I mean this, the most dishonorable man ever associated with the U.S.
00:06:27
Speaker 1: Military.
00:06:27
Speaker 2: And what played out this morning was just another layer of icing on top of that giant pile of dishonor. The disgraced National Guard major whose body is festooned with religious nationalist tattoos, he's unfit.
00:06:45
Speaker 1: Impeach him, try him, and remove him. This is the warning. Do it for your country. Do it for them. There is no obligation that anybody has that exceeds the obligation of to the 18- and 19-year-old in uniform wearing the cloth of the nation put in harm's way by the choices of the American people and the decisions of their elected representatives. None. Remove him.
