bit about Hegseth, which is that there has been all this reporting that he is injecting so much of his personal faith, Christianity, you know, into the Pentagon, too.

Like the Washington Post said that every month at the Pentagon, Hegseth hosts evangelical worship services that legal experts say are unprecedented.

His social media profile and public comments routinely espouse his understanding of Christianity.

He's brought clergy from his small Christian denomination to preach at the Pentagon, including a prominent pastor who says women shouldn't have the right to vote.

And then last Wednesday at the Pentagon, Hegseth prayed for U.S.

troops to inflict, quote, overwhelming violence of action against those who deserve no mercy.

We ask these things with bold confidence in the mighty and powerful name of Jesus Christ.

And then, sorry, this is still from the Washington Post.

Later that day, his department announced military chaplains

would no longer wear their rank on their uniform and instead would wear religious insignia.

You know, even that part, like the military is also supposed to be highly representative of everybody who serves in it, people who come from all different backgrounds and all different religions.

And, you know, now if you have a very clear prioritization for Christianity, you know, like you're again dividing, weeding out people.

How would you feel if you're a Muslim?

That's what Irma did all the time.

Yeah.

I just want to use this moment since you brought up our old YouTube video to –
