Let's get into Pete Hexeth. He is now monitoring the erections of soldiers. The Pentagon has announced mandatory low testosterone screenings for male troops, 30 and older, including screening for symptoms such as reduced libido, loss of spontaneous morning erections, erectile dysfunction, and other symptoms. So here's my issue with all of this, a couple of things. Number one, why are Maga Man constantly thinking about cock? Okay, that's just one thing. Number two, apply all of this to the commander-in-chief. I want it applied the same.

This is utterly insane. The obsession with penises, and then Pete Hexeth, I want you to go sit across from the resolute desk and ask Donald Trump about his morning erections. If you intend to do this with other people in the military, go ask the commander-in-chief and then circle back with us and let us know how that went. You know, it really is kind of, I know it's the distraction technique, but you have, I mean, the United States under Pete Hexseth has committed war crimes, in my opinion, more than we can probably count on two hands. They have murder people. They have withheld information about deaths and injuries. And all of these things. Yet Pete Hexeth is worried about low tea.

He's worried about erection, like his day, instead of. being spent on how the fuck do I get out of a never-ending war that's costing taxpayers billions? We're losing munitions. Oh, and by the way, we've announced to the global world, we fucking are ass deep and crazy and can't run our military right now. And he's worried about low tea. That is just, to me, I find that fascinating because it shows me how fucked up he is, not like everything else doesn't but that's just a real tell for me yeah but i agree with you but remember um these authoritarian regimes are based on a brand of toxic masculinity so when you look at it in that lens this makes perfect sense right we are we are these toxic uh masculine males and we're going to be

talking about you know testosterone and erections and your morning morning wood and all this bro stuff you know this is really kind of on brand and it's devastating I think for people in your my position or a lot of our listeners and viewers because we want to be governed by serious people and and that's the thing with these autocrats is they're they're painfully unsurious and they're not very smart at all okay and then Pete Hagseth is also a huge Bible thumper so when he's not monitoring morning wood then he segues over to Bible thumping let's play the clip in what you see up on the screen right there, which we're calling the Send Me Tour. You know your book of Isaiah, chapter 6, verse 8. The Lord said, who will I send? And Isaiah says, Lord, five here, send me. Send me.

And if you think about it across the 250 years of our country, I know you've got 150 years of this great core here. I've heard enough. I just want to say to all of the Christians that, in Maga Christians, not the cool Christians that listen here that aren't psychos. I'm talking about the cultist Maga Christians that are going on and on and on about radical Islam and Sharia law and all of this stuff. For my entire life, all 52 years in the United States, I have never seen a politician ascend to power that was a radical fundamentalist Muslim. I've never seen it ever.

I've never seen a Muslim group organized in the United States. to take away civil liberties and erode civil liberties. I've never seen it. And maybe I'm wrong, but I've never seen it. Contrary to that, my entire 52 years, I have seen fundamentalist Christians organize in the most diabolical manner to erode civil liberties and to control the masses. My entire life, I've had a close-up view to it in Bible Belt, Oklahoma.

I have seen politicians talking about homosexuals in a way that could be perceived as homicidal, that they think they should get the death penalty and all of this crazy shit. And then to have a secretary of defense stand there and do this end of times quoting Isaiah, all this crazy shit, just imagine for a second if a Muslim stood in front of the military and quoted the Quran. like that. You'd lose your fucking mind. That's why the separation of church and state is so important, but we have to accept the Supreme Court wants to erode that. They want the United States to be a Christian nation, and they have these dipshit, broken, emotionally stunted people that are laser-focused on morning erections, then saying all this crazy apocalyptic stuff to these young people

that we're going to send to the front lines. You know, right over the weekend, Trump is escalating the whole Iran thing like crazy. So this is just bananas. Great news. The federal EV rebate is back. Eligible customers get up to $5,000 with the federal EVAP rebate

Having grown, first of all, I just finished a book on Christian nationalism, and I've said it before, and I'll say it again, Sharia law does not terrify me near as much as Christian nationalism does in this country, because it is terrifying. And I look at Pete Hex-Seth, and I look at the whole, the entirety of the Trump administration

and these mega-super religious Maga Christians that are so cavalier about death. They are so cavalier about throwing people in cages in concentration camps. And for me, based on my experience, I link that with this Christian nationalism, evangelical Christian idea that you are better than other people. You can demean people. You can judge other people. You can be cavalier about the consequences and the death of others because you have that divine right. and the lack of empathy that I see. It just all like the send me, send me. What Pete Hexseth is saying, I'm going to send you. I'm going to lie about you.

I'm not going to shut a tear over you because my religion told me I don't have to because I'm able to demean and dehumanize people that don't think like me, that don't have my same skin color. And it's okay. And that is, you know, looking back on my early child. and religion, that is something that shakes me to my core. The ability that that taught me that it was so easy to throw other people away. And it's a huge problem in Christian nationalism. Well, it's the only thing they can serve up, isn't it? The only thing you can serve is to hate

other people because their God is told them, you're born bad, you're worthless, you're a piece of shit without me. I'm going to constantly surveil every single thing that you say in do. And if you ask one question, that's out. And so you have these people that have been severely, spiritually and religiously abused their whole lives. And then these broken, you know, people, here's a fundamental difference between liberals and conservatives, progressives and conservatives. Number one, conservatives and right-wingers want the scope of what people can learn to be this big. This is it. These are the things that are acceptable to learn. You can't ask any questions outside of this box. You can't think outside of this box. These are the only things that

are acceptable. Progressivism, it opens the whole thing wide up. I mean, no question is off limits. Let's explore. Let's explore science. Let's explore existentialism. Let's explore human rights. Let's explore colonialism. Let's explore like recently Axios as to Sond Piker, do you think the United States is as bad as Al-Qaeda? And Hassan said pound for pound. Yeah, of course, gets cut up. It gets put all over right-wing media. Well, guess what?

My mother, during the Iraq War, when the United States was killing hundreds of thousands of Iraqis, and then we had this prison called Abu Ghraib, where they were waterboarding people, two detainees, died, one at Abu Ghraib, one in Afghanistan, so we're killing people like that. We're doing all of these complete total war crimes. And my mother said to me, and now she's 83, born in Texas, a white lady, and she's able to say this stuff without near the critique that Hassan gets. But we're no different than they are. Look at what we do. Look at what we lie to go to war. Saudi Arabia is the one who hit us on 9-11, not Iraq, and then we're going to war. So progressivism, allows all of these things to open up.

And here's what scares me the most is you have, conservatism generally has thwarted and discouraged critical thinking questions. Those are not allowed. You have to have faith. Now we see corporate media doing this to an extent as well. Why can't you have an open conversation with a streamer or a podcast or anybody who says, you know, it looks like American foreign policy if you really step back. from it. We do a lot of fucked up shit too. Why, why when we do it, it's good, but when another country does it, it's terrorism. These are things that if you grow up in a critically thinking

home, like when I hear people say that stuff, that's not foreign to me. And so I just, I think that this is the biggest pushback that I want to see is for people to resist this narrow-mindedness, both from the Republican Party, the MAGA movement, but also corporate media and like saying, oh, stay in shape. You can't listen to us on or you can't listen to I've had it. You know, these are the corporate talking points. Welcome inquiry. Welcome critical thought. Let's talk about it. Let's talk about it. Is the United States all the shit that we do all around the world bombing shit all the time? But then we want to preach to everybody. We are, we are democracy. We are all for all of this stuff, give me a break. You just gave away a woman's right to choose. We don't have

health care for people, but we go around bombing everybody and saying we're going to push democracy onto everybody. Like we're the missionaries of democracy. I can't stand that shit. And so I just think it's a super important point that there is a political party that I want to be a part of that welcomes inquiry, really control. constructive criticism about American policy and rigorously researches it and is rigorously honest about it instead of, oh, you can't say that. God, that can't seem right. America would never do that. Well, we do do a lot of that shit.

Let's learn from it and be better. And then you have the Pentagon releasing propaganda video from Jake and Logan Paul. I mean, this is just ridiculous. Play the clip. Pleasure and the privilege of getting a tour of the Pentagon. And what a cool experience. We see all the men and women here who are serving this great nation. I don't think.

Enough. I can. Yeah. Angie, go. Okay, number one, we're in the middle of a war. Now we're back to bombing people in the Caribbean. Like, just stop. We don't have time for Jake and Logan Paul, WWE, to come to the Pentagon.

But there's something, there's a little article I read over the weekend. And I just thought, if this is not the truth, it was a top 10 list, the things people call Pete Hex-F. We are in a war. People are dying. He is hiding deaths. He is lying about damages to our bases. He is lying about what's going on.

And so, and there was, here are the things they're calling him. No tab Pete. That's what they call him internally at the Pinket. No tab Pete. What does that mean? Whiskey leaks. What does no tab mean? Like he's running all this stuff and he's never going to pay a price for it is the way I interpret it.

That's what they call him internally. And then we've got whiskey leaks. That's because the signal check, and it absolutely makes sense. And then they're comparing him to Robert McNamara, Vietnam, calling in dumb McNamara. And then here's my personal favorite, DUI hire. So there is just this around Pete Heggseth internally, externally, everybody knows he's a dipshit. And what does Mike Johnson do?

When articles of impeachment are raised, when we are in a war, we will never get out of when we are committing war crimes. He shuts down Congress because he doesn't want to take a vote on impeachment. But you know what? Trump picked him because of a headshot. So Trump owns all of this, hookline and sinker. But I mean, when you put somebody that is such a dumb shit in charge of one of the world's largest military and economies, like the money that goes through the Pentagon, I would expect nothing less, although I have been surprised about the war crimes. I will say that, that just the blatant war crimes and the blatant line, and Pete Hegseth, in my opinion, belongs in fucking jail. I completely agree with that.

And this just adds to your point. Here's a video of Pete Hegseth responding to a Washington Post report that the DOD is covering up truth deaths. So, listener, go with this. On the one turn, it's Bible Thump City. And Jesus's will and send me and all of this beefed up megachurch. bullshit. I mean, Charlie, Erica, Kirk, W.W.E., the worst religion in America is this one. Moses Mike Grindr is a member of this one. Paula White's a member of this one. Pete Hexeth is a member of this religion. And here he is responding about a report that he is covering up

deaths of Americans. Play the clip. It's always anonymous sources with those jokers. The Washington Post doesn't have any credibility and hasn't had me for a very long time. I meant what I said. They hate the president more than they love the country. That's why we called them out as the fake news has been right from the beginning. We never would because of how much we cherish the lives of our service members. Here's the problem with these people. They're so dumb.

They're so dumb. There was nothing. These are serious accusations. And they respond with, you know, they hate the president more than they love the country. This stupid juvenile shit that nobody. thinks. It's so, it's so dumb. And it's just the dumbification of America via Fox News and these people. And there he is, that's all they have to offer, though, too, is, oh, the press is lying. This person, it's the shoot the messenger theme across the board. And these are real people that die,

but I'm just going to say this. The Republican Party has never given a shit about the troops, ever. It is one of the biggest lies that they have perpetrated right behind trickle-down economics. The Republicans love to fund the military industrial complex, a la Dick Cheney and the lie in the leading up to the Iraq war. He and all of his buddies, Halliburton, that made a shit ton of money. His ass never went. Dick Cheney never served. George W. Bush never served. Kangles make taco tits never served. And they love to send. The military goes into the poorest neighborhoods to recruit people.

And they recruit them in and they send them to the front lines. And then once they get home, they have PTSD. They've lost a limb. All sorts of shit for these stupid wars based on lies where we say, oh, we're so different than al-Qaeda. And we're so different from all of these places. And then the veterans come back. And I think it's something like 30% of all homeless people are fucking veterans. Right. It's just bullshit. It's bullshit that they give a shit about the troops.

Well, they want to fund the wars, but they don't give a shit about the troops personally. I mean, look at how long it took for, you know, VA hospitals are going under. Trump is cutting more funding. I just read, and maybe it was about a month ago, that Trump had pulled, there were certain loans that veterans were eligible for, for housing. He's pulled all that. And I just would say if you are looking at, look at your Republican Congress member and look at how they have voted for funding veterans causes, veterans health, veterans housing since they have been home from the war. And that will answer your questions because that's what I had to do. It's like, oh, they really don't give a fuck about the veterans. And it's easy to send them to war, send me because they don't give a shit if they die.

because they don't value their lives. They don't value their families. And now you hear Pete Hexeth is trying to withhold benefits from people that have died in Iran. Shame on him. Shame on President Trump and shame on the Republicans that continue to allow this fiasco to get on. And shame on the electorate that votes for this shit. Absolutely. That saw the way President Trump spoke about people that had died in war.

called him suckers and losers. You saw what he said about John McCain. Yeah. And then you say, oh, I'm all for national security. Oh, I'm all for support the troops. Bullshit. Bullshit. I'm so tired of providing, oh, they were so concerned about inflation to this portion of the electorate. This portion of the electorate lives and feasts in an alternate reality where they can just say, oh, I'm for family values. Meanwhile, Lauren Bobert, scissoring with her staff paying allegedly $200,000 hush money. And you can just go down the list. We support the troops.

No, you don't. No, you don't. It's just we support hocking, you know, ceding out all pedophiles and arresting them. Really? Yeah. The call's coming from inside the house. All right, that's all we have.
