Pete Hegseth

Okay.

Well, I do not believe the statute would support that.

I think the 60 days runs maybe tomorrow.

underwriting the change that we've seen in our department was a laser focus on getting back to basics.

And the key word to that is merit.

We had a department that was obsessed with gender, ideology, and race, diversity, equity, and inclusion.

In fact, the mantra you would hear dripping from the lips of generals with a serious look on their face was, our diversity is our strength, which is the single dumbest phrase in military history.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth just cracked under pressure during his testimony before the House Armed Services Committee.

He was flailing, he was yelling, he was looking like a cornered rat.

Let me show you what went down during this pitch-perfect cross-examination of Hegseth.

First, you had Democratic Congressmember Carba Hall cross-examine Hegseth and also pointing out just how incompetent Hegseth is.

Here, play this clip.

Thank you.

Next, you had Democratic Congresswoman Houlihan cross-examine Hegseth as he refused to say why General Randy George, the former army chief of staff, was fired via text message by Hegseth.

Here, play this clip.

Well, as with any moves we make with general officers, first of all, I thanked him for their service.

Out of respect for these officers, we never talk about the nature of their removal, but every one of them, including myself, knows that they serve at the pleasure of the president.

Ultimately, out of respect to these officers, we don't reveal it.

However, I will note, it's very difficult to change the culture of a department that has been destroyed by the wrong perspectives.

There are many, we've gotten rid of many general officers in this administration because we need new leadership.
