Chapter 1: What are the new leaks involving Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth?
Paranoia is engulfing the White House right now. Donald Trump can't stop the leaks. Pete Hegseth can't stop the leaks like the leaks that took place on Easter Sunday where we learned that Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, who has no business being the Secretary of Defense because he has no
And he was a Fox News host before becoming the secretary of defense in any event that he was involved in more classified communications using the signal text message app, similar to what we learned about several weeks ago. There was a whole other text message thread, this time involving Pete Hegseth and his wife. His brother and his lawyer, where they were also talking about F.A.
18 strikes against the Houthis, similar to that other text message thread where they included the editor in chief from The Atlantic. Yep, there were four separate sources. Lots of people want to leak information on you there. Pete Hegseth, who told The New York Times what went down. a blockbuster story on Easter. Here's what the New York Times reported.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shared detailed information about forthcoming strikes in Yemen on March 15th in a private Signal group chat that included his wife, brother, and personal lawyer.
According to four people with knowledge of the chat, some of those people said that the information Mr. Hegseth shared on Signal chat included the fights, the flight schedules for the F-A-18 Hornets targeting the Houthis in Yemen, Essentially, the same attack plans that he shared on a separate Signal chat the same day that mistakenly included the editor of The Atlantic. Uh-oh, Pete Hegseth.
That doesn't sound too good. But also, Pete Hegseth has been firing all of his core staff recently. His chief of staff, senior advisor, deputy chief of staff, the deputy secretary's chief of staff. They were all fired on Friday. Why? because Hegseth is paranoid. He thinks everybody's leaking. But you fired those people and the leaks keep on happening, Hegseth. What in the world is going on here?
Tom Cotton, MAGA Republican Senator, wrote the following on Sunday. It seems like the leak investigation at the Pentagon needs to continue to find these latest leakers. Secretary Hegseth is busy implementing Trump's America First agenda while these leakers are trying to undermine them both. Shameful. This is what the MAGA Republicans are focusing on.
That's what's actually shameful, that they're worried about the leakers versus our classified information being sent out to the Secretary of Defense wife, brother, and personal lawyer.
As our editor-in-chief, Ron Filipkowski, correctly points out, what is shameful is that your take is to hunt down more Trump appointees and hires who dare to tell the truth about the debacle happening at the Pentagon because of Hegseth, rather than taking a principal stand against that shitshow. But sadly, that would require courage, and you don't have courage, as CNN reported last

Chapter 2: What classified information did Pete Hegseth share and with whom?
Indeed, the totality of your own writings and alleged conduct would disqualify any service member from holding any leadership position in the military, much less being confirmed as the Secretary of Defense.
So that was always his MO. And by the way, if you go back to what Hegseth had previously said when he was a Fox host about others, when he was saying, you know, if you if you are leaking, you should be held to the highest standards, you know, when he would spread conspiracies about people.
But here's what he would say about like leaking when he would talk about like Hillary Clinton and others here play this clip.
Pete Hegg said, what do you think? Well, she's got two problems here, two words, top secret. Before it was servers, it was classified. It was sort of this amorphous idea that maybe it was wrong. Everyone knows what top secret means. I've had a top secret clearance. It's big, red, flashing letters, top secret. You know when you're looking at something that's top secret or dealing with it.
In this case, the public will resonate with that. Hey, if you're hiding that on a private server, that's a very real problem and likely criminal charges to follow if they're being fair about it.
So it's obvious we all know what was going on here. Democratic Congress member Jamie Raskin was on the Midas Touch Network on Sunday. He was with our own Anthony Davis on the weekend show. And here's what Jamie Raskin had to say. Let's play this clip.
And... Speaker Johnson's chief of staff got into his car and drove at 38 miles per hour and plowed in the back of a police vehicle and staggered out. And the police found him and he was determined to have been drunk. And that was when I realized that they've replaced DEI hires with DUI hires. And you see the health secretary, Hegseth, and a lot of other people who can
who can actually be promoted to the highest levels of this government with the most irresponsible personal behavior. But they all happen to be white guys. So they pass the test of not being DEI.
Here's the thing. The Democratic senators during the confirmation hearings, We're calling this behavior out about Hegseth in advance. Like here was Mark Kelly in 47 seconds, just completely demolishes Hegseth and makes it clear that Hegseth should be nowhere near any leadership position at all in the Secretary of Defense. Play this clip.
