Maga Pete Hegseth is struggling to stay afloat after a second scandal has hit the headlines. This breaking news article from CNN reads, exclusive, watchdog finds Hegseth risked endangering troops by sharing sensitive war plans on signal. We need accountability for this ASAP. Remember the signal scandal a few months ago when Pete Hegseth and Mike Walts accidentally added a journalist into a private signal group chat where they were coordinating strikes on our enemies, And if it were any other journalist, if it were Tucker Carlson, for example, they could have leaked it to our enemies in advance. I use the example, Tucker Carlson, because that is something that he would do. Well, an investigation into the Signal Group chat just ended, and it's so much worse for Pete Heggsett than any of us thought. At the same time, Pete Hegset is being doubly investigated because of his recent strikes in the Caribbean on September 2nd where he allegedly double-striked non-combatants who were clinging to a shipwreck.

Donald Trump in the Oval Office moments ago was asked by reporters if he will release the second strike or the footage of it, he said. Mr. President, Mr. President, you release video of that first boat strike on September 2nd, but not the second video. Will you release video of that strike so that the American people can see for themselves what happened? I don't know what they have, but whatever they have would certainly release. No problem. You know, we stopped. Every boat, we knock out. We saved 25,000 American lives. That's right. I've never heard of it. We never heard of it.

Following Donald Trump's logic, if every boat that he knocks out saves 25,000 lives, this calculation that he's using that's completely wrong, then the drug kingpin that he just pardoned, who was the former president of Honduras, cost five million U.S. lives because he ended up trafficking hundreds of tons of cocaine into the United States. This is all BS, but I don't want to get sidetracked from the main point that Donald Trump's said he's willing to release the footage of the second strike. Now, we've heard this before. He said he would release the Epstein files and he didn't, but this is not bearing well for Pete Hexseth. None of it is for a few reasons. First of all, the amount of different variations of

this story that they've gone through over the past 72 hours should have Pete Hegset's sweating. Here's the timeline. At first, the Washington Post article said there were two strikes. Pete Hexseth immediately came out and said, this is not true. We apply maximum force, but this is fake news. Donald Trump then got asked on the plane and said, Pete Hexat said it was fake. We wouldn't need a second strike. No one needs a second strike. The first one's fine.

Then the next day, we find out that there's footage of it. Caroline Levitt then comes out and says, yes, there was a second strike and we all stand by Admiral Bradley. Then Pete Hexeth makes a statement and says, we all stand by Admiral Bradley's decisions, the decisions that he made, that he made. Then Pete Hexed does an interview and says he wishes Admiral Bradley well. It is so easily them throwing him

under the bus. And listen to this video of Pete Heckseth just a few years ago. I do think there have to be consequences for abject war crimes. If you're doing something that is just completely unlawful and ruthless, then there is a consequence for that. That's why the military said it won't follow unlawful orders from their commander-in-chief. There's a standard. There's an ethos.

There's a belief that we are above what so many things that our enemies or others would do. So, Senator, what do you think of that? Well, Aaron, I think he's correct, and it's exactly what we said. But when we said if Pete Heggseth now, it's it eight years later, or nine years later, he says what we said was false and reckless. I mean, it's crazy how these people switch up. Look at what somebody who knew Pete Heggseth said. This guy worked with Pete Heggseth on Fox News.

It gives me no pleasure to say what I'm about to say because I worked with Pete Heggseth for seven or eight years at Fox News. this is an act of a war crime ordering survivors who the law requires be rescued instead to be murdered. There's absolutely no legal basis for it. Everybody along the line who did it, from the secretary of defense to the admiral to the people who actually pulled the trigger should be prosecuted for a war crime for killing these two people. Let's go back to Trump being asked about this again in the Oval Office, then we'll talk about Pete Heggsat's other scandal signal game.

Mr. President, if the vote strikes, if it is found that survivors were actually killed while clinging on to that boat, should Secretary Hegseth, Admiral Bradley, or others be punished? I think you're going to find that this is war, that these people were killing our people by the millions, actually, if you look over a few years. I think last year we lost close to 300,000 people were killed. That's not mentioning all the families. Have you seen what happens with the family? Ventinol does not primarily come from Venezuela.

Not only the people kill, the people that are trying to get their son or their daughter off of this poison that they've been fed, I think you're going to find that there's a very receptive ear to doing exactly what they're doing, taking out those boats. And very soon we're going to start doing it on land, too, because we know every route, we know every house, we know where they manufacture this crap, we know where they put it all together. And I think you're going to see it very soon on land. I'll say, yeah, please. So to be clear, you support the decision to kill survivors after the event. No, I support the decision to knock out the boats.

And whoever is piloting those boats, most of them are gone. But whoever are piloting those boats, they're guilty of trying to kill people in our country. Yeah, please. Okay, so Donald Trump essentially just concede that this happened and he's okay with it happening. He has no actual moral standard. Over the past 48 hours, he's gone from, it didn't happen. A second strike wouldn't be needed to, this is war, this is war. I mean, there's already a primary due process problem with these strikes, where we don't know exactly who is on these ships.

There's been no due process. But even beyond that, there is now a secondary question that is almost more pertinent regarding whether or not this double-tap strike was against shipwrecked non-combatants, which is a straight-up illegal war crime. Nobody is saying that more drugs should come into the country, but we're saying that if there isn't some sort of due process held international, the global order collapses. The only reason Donald Trump is president right now is because he was afforded due process in his day in courts and due to that he was able to

regain power. Due process is important. If we did what the Pete Hexeth model was, we would have I mean, this is fucked up to say, we would have just struck Donald Trump or whatever. That's what Pete Hexed is doing. They're striking first, asking questions later. Donald Trump also just pardoned

somebody who smuggled drugs into the U.S. So I don't want this high horse bullshit. Well, let's go on to this other Pete Huckset scandal. This is really some important stuff. The American populace cannot forget that the Secretary of Defense was plucked off of Fox News into a very, very important executive position overseeing the Pentagon, right? Like, that is very, very hard stuff. Listen, I oversee a team, like maybe five or six people at this point.

We've got an editor, some people that do research, some people that work on the channel, work on merch, you know, just a few different people that I employ. And it's hard to keep a team together. So imagine, imagine how hard it is for, Pete Hegseth to run the Pentagon with like hundreds of thousands of employees, while he's half drunk most of the time, or mostly drunk half of the time, whatever you want to say, Pete Hegseth is not equipped to run this type of mechanism, this type of machine. That's why he's making so many mistakes. Secretary of Defense Hegseth risked compromising sensitive military

information, which could have endangered American troops and mission objectives when he used signal in March of this year to share highly sensitive attack plans targeting Houthi rebels in Yemen, according to four sources familiar with contents of a classified Inspector General report. The repercussions of Hexat's actions, two sources told CNN, are less clear, since the Inspector General concluded that the Defense Secretary has the authority to declassify information, and Hexat asserted he made an operational decision in the moment to share that information, though there is no documentation of such decision. So he's claiming, oh yeah, I intentionally decided to declassify that in the moment to this journalist. an unclassified version of the report will be released tomorrow.

Messages from Hexat's signal account to the group chat included documents marked classified at the time that they were sent and offered specific real-time updates about military plan strikes. Plan military strikes. They were so specific that one even read, this is when the first bombs will drop. It remains unclear if Hexeth properly declassified that information. Hexeth refused to sit down for an interview.

with the Inspector General and submitted his version of events in writing. The IG's findings are memorialized in a broader report produced after its months-long investigation. They said it should not have used signal that they need better training on protocols. They put U.S. troops at risk, and the release of the investigation could compound existing concerns voiced by lawmakers about Hexeth's judgment. Listen to this report right here. Pete Hexseth. The Signalgate report contradicts Pete Hegseth's claims that he did nothing wrong.

It shows that he violated policy. He failed to preserve records. The report says Pete Hexseth put the operations and service people at risk. He failed to preserve any sort of records. He's legitimately hiding from this. Legitimately. Pete Hexeth refused an interview request from the Pentagon Inspector General's investigation into Signal Gates. We have no transparency.

I have no confidence that they will release any footage from this second strike because there's no transparency right now. I'm going to leave it there. I love you all. Make sure you subscribe below. I'll see you on the next one and peace out.
