Ooh baby, oh baby, Pete Hegseth is in trouble. A New York Post report is out detailing Pete Hegseth wearing a disguise to go out drinking. I guess we shouldn't be shocked because this is the man who is our secretary of defense. Really nice. That's the person making all the big decisions right now for our government. in the war that is happening. And speaking of the war that is happening, I'll tell you this. It's so funny that this New York Post story came out the same day that Iran released their latest Lego troll. This time, focused on Pete Hexad, and here it is.

Yo, Pete Hexas, this one specially for you. You punk-ass rapist bitch, straight from Iran. with that cafe ink on your arm think you were crusader nah just a drunk and fidel in the fake uniform she'd to kill all Muslims wasted in the hotel lobby sexual assault settlement in Monterey blocked the door took a phone paid her off quiet because me too was on now you secretary what a joke bro cheated on wives multiple affairs kids in the mix family man hell no handsy with women at fox drunk on the job your own team say yo this dude toxic

We see everything no. In the shadows, we ride. My oh my Hereon sending this heat Feel the math Drop the mic We're coming My oh my

Okay well How are they so good at propaganda Shouldn't that be the one thing we're good at Is making stupid videos That's literally what we do That's like the basis of our economy Is making content And you're telling me Iran is putting out

bangers like this And we're putting out Absolute slop Anyways so they kind of did the work for me there as you can see pete hexeth has a lot of allegations a lot of things that back up this new york post reporting and he showed up to work looking like this earlier last week and this i mean listen i am someone who had had a problem have i guess i have a problem with drinking i don't currently drink i haven't drink for a while but i used to have a problem i couldn't stop

and so this looks very familiar to me i guess is all i'm going to say And Pete Higgiseth was asked about his drinking during his Senate confirmation hearing, and here's what he had to say. Many of your work colleagues have said that you show up for work under the influence of alcohol or drunk. I know you've denied that, but you would agree with me, right, that if that was the case, that would be disqualifying for somebody to be Secretary of Defense. Senator, those are all anonymous false claims and the totality. They're not anonymous. The letters on the record here, they're not anonymous. We've seen records with me at names for freedom, concerned vets for America.

He's just going to keep monologuing there, but they're not anonymous. And if you have someone in your life who has a problem with drinking or is an active addict, and then they promise to stop doing it, you know that those promises quite often don't last. Pete Hacks have actually promised. He's like, I'm not going to drink starting January. And here he is being asked about being drunk on Fox News. By enforcing the uniform code of military justice, UCMJ, in addition to the sexual assault allegations, and by the way, the answer to my second question should have been yes.

I have read multiple reports of your regularly being drunk at work, including by people who worked with you at Fox News. Do you know that being drunk at work is prohibited for service members under the UCMJ? Senator, those are multiple false anonymous. reports peddled by NBCBs that run directly contradictory to the dozens of men and women at Fox News Channel who I work with who came on the record and said they never see that in your opening statement mr. Heggseth you like I guess like if it was like one time it's like one story but there's multiple stories it's hard to believe they're all lies Pete Hagseth has asked him Megan Kelly if he has a drinking problem he said no Pete Hick said also showed up drunk to the White House

to a White House party last year and look at his kids, just being totally embarrassed by his dad. This is what the media does. They take anonymous sources from disgruntled... Oh my God, it's always anonymous sources. I didn't realize he always says that. This is what the media does. They take anonymous sources from disgruntled former employees, and then they try to slash and burn people and ruin their reputation. Not going to work with me because we're changing the Defense Department, putting the pen to the had gone back in the hands of warfighters and anonymous smears from disgruntled former employees on old news doesn't matter so I'm happy to be here at the Easter egg role with my dad and my kids because you know

this is what we're doing it for these kids right here this is why we're fighting the fake news media this is why we're fighting slash and burn Democrats this is this kid is literally all of us literally all of us Pete Hux says mom actually wrote him this text message that came out on on November of 2024 saying this, son, I have tried to keep quiet about your character and behavior, but after listening to the way you made Samantha feel today, I believe that's either his ex-wife or his ex-girlfriend, I cannot stay silent as a woman and your mother. I feel I must speak out. You are an abuser of women. That is the ugly truth, and I have no respect for any man that belittles, lies, cheats, sleeps around, and uses women for his own power and ego. You are that man and

have been for years, and as your mother, it pains me and embarrasses me to say that, but it is a sad, truth. I'm not a saint, far from it, so don't throw that in my face, but your abuse over the years to women dishonesty sleeping around, betrayal, debasing, bit of littling, needs to be called out. Sam is a good mother and a good person under the circumstances that you created, and I know deep down, you know that for you try to label her as unstable for your own advantage is despicable and abusive. Is there any sense of decency left in you? She did not ask for or deserve any of what has come to by your hand neither did Meredith I know you think this one this is one big competition that we have taken her side bunk we're on the side of good and that is

not you oh my god imagine your mom texting you this absolutely devastating and I'm reading this I've read this before I'm reading it again I actually cannot believe this person was confirmed I cannot believe it this person was confirmed with a text message like this out there don't you don't you dare run to her and cry foul that we shared with us. That's what babies do. It's time for someone. I wish it was a strong man to stand up to your abusive behavior and call it out, especially against women. We still love you, but we are broken by your behavior and lack of character. I don't want to write emails like this and never thought I would if it damages our relationship further than so be it.

But at least I have said my piece redacted. And yes, we are praying for you. And don't, you don't deserve to know how we are praying. So skip the snarky reply. I don't want an answer to this. I don't want to debate with you. You twist and abuse everything I say anyway, but on behalf of all women and I know it's many. You have abused in some way I say, get some help and take an honest look at yourself, mom. Woo! Ow! Skating. So as you can see, lots of evidence building up to what I'm about to show you. So we have lots of sources saying Pete Hexeth is a drunk. We have his own mom on the record saying he's an abuser, okay? So is it any surprise that the New York Post is reporting this?

Hexeth's top aide spilled jaw-dropping claim about drunken bender. A top aide to Pete Hexeth spread a rumor that the defense secretary's drinking habits followed him to the Pentagon. A new report alleges. Hegsteth, whose wife confided in the FBI that he drinks more often than he doesn't, and whose former colleague said he wreaked of alcohol before going on air, promised to cut all booze ahead of his Senate confirmation, which required Vice President J.D. Vance breaking the tie. That made Hegsses a less drinking problem with the perfect way to weed out leakers,

at least in the eyes of Hegset's chief of stack. Burya reportedly told several Pentagon staffers he and Hegset, Don disguises, so they could go on a drunken bender last year, breaking the secretary's vow of absence. The motive for Buria's story, supposedly, a tall tale, was to see whether the recipients would leak it to the press, sources told the town. Burya's alleged ploy came at a time when Hegseth was cracking down on leakers. Burya told colleagues that he and Hegseth have passed to security detail when the latter was staying at the Ritzkarton in Pentagon City before his Washington home was ready. Sources said the paper did not describe the supposed disguise Hegseth War or the bar they went to.

Burier is a Biden administration holdover who became Hegseth's chief of staff in December. The White House had blocked his promotion for months over his past criticism of Donald Trump in However, a source told the New York Post that 44-year-old Breyer was planting a fake story about Heggseth, 45, as early as last spring. Okay. So, there you go. So that's the story, is that Pete Hexeth and this man went drinking. I believe that. I believe that. That's kind of what people who have drinking problems do. Now, he's saying they wore disguise, and he said that to a lot of different people, and it got out. Now, this New York Post story, is a cleanup story. This is someone either from the administration or someone close to the

administration doing it's a very smart cleanup saying that oh no he was just saying the story to see if any leakers would say it. Okay. Okay. So you tell a story that makes the secretary defense look bad to see if any anyone leaks a story that would make the secretary defense look bad. Does that make sense to you in your mind? Does that make sense? Is there a million different things you could say to people to see if anyone will leak rather than a story that, one, makes you look cool because you're drinking with the Secretary of Defense and you're sneaking out, and two, makes the Secretary of Defense look bad? I don't know. I don't know. It doesn't really pass a sniff test to me. Does it pass it for you? And by the way, this gentleman was interviewed by Matt Gates, and he was wasted. percentage of the F-35 are fully mission capable today?

So that's a great question, man, and I appreciate you getting after it, because not enough. Not enough. It is the... I forgot. Oh, I saw this before. I forgot. He really was wasted. What is going on?

What is going on in our country? It's a great question, man, and I appreciate you getting after it, because not enough. It is the most capable fighter that we have right now. Come on. Come on. Come on. It's the most capable fighter we ever know. Not enough. It is the most capable fighter that we have right now. When it flies.

When it flies, you're right, it is the most capable fighter. What we have right now. He's waste. All right. And you saw just last month in the acquisition speech is a department and leadership that's willing to get after it to challenge industry to produce better. There are plenty of surface air missile systems that the Iranians have. We know that. Did they shoot any of them?

No, they didn't. because we were so successful and we that platform the f-35 is an amazing platform that can go after these says it is the most oh my god pinaugza also you know has fired two top generals during the war in iran so great fantastic you know what's really interesting is of all the people that donald trump supposedly wants to fire gabbard luttnick cash fatel the act Agriculture Secretary. Pete Heggs says not on a list. I think we know why. I think as Pete Hexeth is kind of doing the job Donald Trump wanted. As long as he keeps doing that, Donald Trump doesn't care. Donald Trump is waging war against countries for literally no reason. And as long as he,

as long as Donald Trump has complete control over our military, I don't think he minds. I don't think he minds this shit. It's really interesting that Pete Hegg Seth is the one person that's not being put up when. He's actually, I think, in many ways, the most inadequate. Well, I don't know, Cashman Tells pretty bad. They're all pretty bad. So yeah, but is it, do you think, do you think Pete Hegg Seth's drinking on the job? I think I would be shocked if he wasn't. I would be shocked. Well, thanks so much for watching. It's another day in hell. And I'll see you soon. Bye-bye.
