What recent actions have Democratic lawmakers taken regarding military orders?

Steve Bannon 0:00

FBI and Justice Department officials are working to arrange interviews with six Democratic lawmakers who appeared in a video advising service members not to follow illegal orders. The video enraged President Trump, who posted on social media last Friday that the lawmakers, all of whom have previously served in the military or US intelligence, should be arrested. He also accused them of seditious behavior punishable by death. The four members of the House who appeared in the video, Jason Crow, Chris Deluzio, Maggie Goodlander and Chrissy Houlihan, released a joint statement yesterday accusing the president of using the FBI as a tool. to intimidate or and harass members of Congress. They also defend their actions, writing no amount of intimidation or harassment will ever stop us from doing our jobs and honoring our Constitution.

This comes as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is accelerating his investigation into Senator Mark Kelly, now directing the U.S. Navy to launch a review of the lawmaker. In a memo posted to social media, Hegseth orders the secretary of the Navy to look into what he calls, quote, potentially unlawful comments made by Kelly. Hegseth then asked the Navy secretary, a former businessman with no prior military experience, to report any findings by no later than December 10th. Kelly's comments in question were, of course, part of that message to service members, reminding them of their obligation simply to refuse illegal orders.

Men, in women's spaces, harassing. You said it wasn't a thing. 14 times you said it wasn't a thing. So I need you to show all the women of California that you're going to protect us. I'm going to protect women. I did as a prosecutor. I will protect women. No woman should be harassed in any locker room. Are there going to be men allowed in the women's room anymore? We need to know. No woman should be harassed in a locker room. Answer straight. Are there going to be women? Are you against men in women's locker rooms and sports? That's all you need to answer. I'm telling you, I don't want men harassing you. I know.

What accusations have been made against Senator Mark Kelly?

Tish Hyman 3:09

It's happening all around America. There are 45 men in the women's prisons right now, raping them, picking them out like chicken. The trans men are not women, and they're raping women. So I don't care if you're on the Democrat side, the Republican side. We need to be on the women's side, people. It's happening to our girls. It's happening to our women. And I'm here to let everyone know that this is happening. I'm telling you. I have millions of people behind me, black people, who they're using our civil rights to push this. If you want to be the governor, you need to do something about it, because I promise you this, I will not be the last to see of Tish Heine, okay? Thank you. All right, I want to hear that.

There are no trans kids. There are just children. Stop transforming children. No one can make a decision that young. When I was 12, I would have transformed. It's wrong. It's wrong. It's abuse. Don't trans children. It's abuse. chance kids. There's no such thing. There's only men and women. Use your brains. Stop with this malarkey.

What are the implications of the ongoing investigation by Secretary Hegseth?

Unknown 4:29

Jonathan, just to unpack this briefly, the reason that these six members of Congress felt that it was appropriate, maybe necessary, to briefly remind members of the military that they should not obey illegal orders is because The Trump administration, Secretary Hegseth, back in February, essentially moved to neuter the legal advice at the Pentagon that commanders depend on. They fired the top three judge adjutant generals who were head the military lawyer group. which had the effect of intimidating all of the lawyers in the Pentagon. So there was nobody left to say to a commander who asked for legal advice, I believe that order is illegal.
