Pete Hex-F and his boss, President Donald J. Trump. First of all, I want to acknowledge today is the first of the month. Okay, renting bills are due, so I want to send positive energy, love and light

to all the individuals who are struggling to pay their bills, okay? Especially our federal workers who don't know what their financial future is going to look like because the government shut down at midnight. All the non-essential government workers, the federal workers, the essential workers who have been furloughed are required to work with pay without pay, okay, required to work without pay until funding is restored. Keep your head up, okay? We are in some interesting times in this country,

and I believe it is our job in media to let you know that none of this is normal. And yesterday at a Marine Corps base in Quantico, Virginia, an unprecedented meeting happened, okay? of America's top military leaders, generals, admirals from all over the world were asked to come to this meeting and initially didn't even get told why. Okay, Pete Hex-F promoted the new name, the Department of War, even though it hasn't been changed by Congress. But who needs Congress anymore when we are running plays out of an authoritarian playbook? Okay, Pete verbally attacked what he called toxic leaders, who he said have turned the Defense Department to the woke department. He put out a bunch of new directives telling folks to get physically fit.

They needed to groom themselves a certain way. Okay, he went after fat troops. He said it's completely unacceptable to see fat generals and admirals in the halls of the Pentagon. Now, that one I agree with, okay, you should have to look the part, all right? If America has the strongest military in the world, then our leaders have to look strong to. It's the same reason I wouldn't want a fat personal trainer in the gym or a person with no shape up giving me a head cut. But let's stay focused, okay? President Trump spoke to, and he said we have to reawaken the warrior spirit.

and he said he is committing $1 trillion to the military in 2006. By the way, Pete Hex-F, our President Trump, neither one of them addressed the government shutdown, okay, and how active duty troops are going to be required to report for duty, but their money is going to be delayed until the shutdown is over. Can you imagine? I'm in the military, and you're telling me how much you need me. You want me to pledge my loyalty to you, but you are the reason I'm not getting my check. Can we listen to some of President Trump and Pete Hexsf's monologue for?

yesterday. I call it the N-word. There are two N-words and you can't use either of them. And if you don't like what I'm saying, you can leave the room. Of course, there goes your rank, there goes your future. I don't want my son serving alongside troops who are out of shape, or in combat unit with females who can't meet the same combat arms physical standards as men. It's completely unacceptable to see fat generals and admirals in the halls of the Pentagon. Being a racist has been illegal in our formation since 1948. The same goes for sexual harassment. Both are wrong and illegal. But telling someone to shave, or get a haircut or to get in shape or to fix their uniform or to show up on time or to work hard that's

exactly the kind of discrimination we want portland oregon where it looks like a war zone unless they're playing false tapes this look like world war two san francisco chicago new york los angeles we're going to straighten them out one by one that's a war too it's a war from within i told p we should use some of these dangerous cities as training grounds for our military now they're like to No. You're not allowed to use the military. Oh, that's what the oath says, foreign and domestic. Well, we also have domestic.

To our enemies, F-A-F-O. No more identity months, DEI offices, dudes in dresses. No more climate change worship. No more division, distraction, or gender delusions. We are done with that. I need y'all to know, none of this is normal for America, okay? It's normal in light of world history. not America. See, what you saw yesterday

was an attempt, probably the first to many, to get the military to pledge allegiance to the Trump administration. Not pledge allegiance to the country. Okay? No, undying loyalty to the Trump administration. It was a play straight out of any authoritarian playbook. Look, man,

I graduated from night school in Berkeley high school. All right, two years behind schedule. Supposed to come out of 96, came out of 98. But I read a little bit. Okay? Anything you have ever read about authoritarian's will show you that they understand controlling the military equals controlling the state. You saw it in Germany with Hitler.

You saw it in the Soviet Union with Stalin. You saw it with Saddam Hussein and Iraq. And it's a pattern. Okay, it starts with oaths of loyalty. All right? Then you embed your own ideology into the army. You create your own military security force. Next thing you know, you're systemically eliminating your rivals and you take complete control.

Okay, you will use the army to take power. When you have the military on your side, who's going to check you, boo? All right. Don't get it effed up. When strong men want the army's loyalty, it's never to protect the people. It's always to protect their power. History got a long list of receipts on that. Google it, chat, GPT, pick up a book, whatever you got to do. Okay? The ballot put Trump in power, but it's the bullets. And by bullets, I mean the might of the military that can keep him there. And what you saw yesterday was his first attempt at flipping the military on the enemy within. Have we figured out who that? that enemy is yet. Is it in Portland? Okay. Is it just Democrats or is it anyone who hasn't pledged allegiance to MAGA? I need America to understand this isn't normal. The president of the United States of America and the Secretary of War held a meeting with the military leaders yesterday to get them to pledge loyalty to them so they can project authority on the citizens of this country. With the military, they can suppress protest.

They can run people out of office. And most importantly, they can stay in power, meaning staying in office if they choose to. Also, let's be clear, the military is the biggest threat to their power. All right, Democrats in office on a threat, they got zero power. We know they cowards, but the military is the biggest threat because they could overthrow an authoritarian. So if President Trump keeps the generals close promises them money, promotions, he can prevent a coup. Okay, authoritarian survival often depends on buying or coercing military loyalty. I'm just here to alert you, okay, to inform you a little bit.

I know we get caught up into Nikki Minaj and Cardi B, Twitter Wars, and what's going to happen to Diddy on Friday, but I need you all to know what happened yesterday wasn't normal. The military ain't supposed to pledge allegiance to a man or a political party, only to the Constitution. When a leader wants the generals on his side instead of the countryside, that's not patriotism. That's dictatorship in training.

Please let Chelsea handle a give the Secretary of War, Pete Hex-F, and the Trump administration, the biggest he-ha. He-ha! He-ha! That is way too much, Dan Meney's. It's so crazy to hear Donald Trump talk about military and the things he thinks the military should do. And then you go back to his history. And, you know, he deferred his military five times, right? He was supposed to be in the military. Four times was for education, right?

He said he couldn't go into the draft because of education. And the fifth time is because he had a medical reason. he said he had bone spurs in his heel but you want to tell the military what you ain't want to serve you dipped out about five times I ain't even know what he's practicing what he's preaching you know what I'm saying

he don't want people in the military that's not physically fit okay he accepts that it's unacceptable to see fat generals and admirals in the halls of the Pentagon Trump understood that a long time ago come on guys

he'd be leaving all type of things they'll be following the scent following the tan spray they'll catch him immediately me. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey today. Donkey today is brought to you by the law office of Michael S. Lammonsoff.
