Pete Hegseth is summoning literally every leader of the U.S. military to one location, which is gravely dangerous, wasteful, and frankly puts people at danger. And as this is happening, a video has just come out of Pete Hegseth drunk. And he must be drunk the way he's acting. A general pointed out, Ben Hodges, former general, said, July 1935, German generals were called to a surprise assembly in Berlin and informed that their previous oath to the Weimar Constitution was void and that they would be required to swear a personal oath to the furor.

Most generals took the new oath to keep their positions. I think that is an important piece of history. And I am afraid that's where this is all heading with Pete Hegsess meeting next week. We have new information on that, by the way. And we have learned now that Donald Trump himself is getting involved. But when this general posted that, here is what our, quote, Secretary of War said. Cool story, general. No, not a cool story.

It's literally history. And it may very well be repeating itself. As someone right here from my followers, this is your secretary of war mocking a general for providing a German military history. Someone else wrote, ah, yes, cool story, literally Nazi history that the secretary of defense is just nonchalantly hand-waving. The U.S. government is fast. Yes, I agree with that statement. And who could forget, though, the person who wants to lecture our military

and the warrior ethos did this. With the axe. Who's going to win this battle of the lumberjack? That's something about that. I'm putting my money on. Clayton. Could have killed someone. Literally, this is

one of the luckiest people alive. He could have been very, very badly injured. And I just want to show you this. I came across this. An admiral, or sorry, a captain is speaking out, a former captain is speaking out, someone who served for 13 years in the U.S. Army, a veteran who served in Afghanistan, said this to Pete Hexeth. And this message is for all U.S. military service members, especially every general and admiral meeting with Pete Hexeth on Tuesday. I'm a 13-year U.S. Army veteran who served in Afghanistan and wrote war plans while stationed at U.S. Army Europe. This morning, Donald Trump directed Pete Hexs to deploy the U.S. military to Portland, Oregon.

This is the latest illegal attempt to normalize the use of the military in U.S. city. He authorized the military to use, quote, full force. This is authoritarianism. This is fascism. The U.S. military is not a law enforcement force, and all federalized service members must abide by the Pasa Kamitatis Act. All members of the United States military must disobey illegal orders. I was just following orders is not a valid defense against war crimes.

Grow a spine and stand up for your fellow Americans. Otherwise, you are complicit in this fascist takeover. We're running out of time. Well, thank you, Captain Dylan Blahaw for saying that, and he is. I believe running for Congress? Let's just look. Yes. He's running for Congress in Illinois, 13. If you are a voter there, I suggest checking him out. He doesn't know I'm doing this. Now, as I said, there is this meeting happening and it's a very serious thing to literally bring all of the military, all of the leaders to one place. It's never been done before for good reason because it's stupid.

And there are questions about why they're doing that. But as we're working towards this, Pete Hickseth had a viral video where he's at a stadium doing what is called the gritty. Let me just show you what the gritty is supposed to look like. Yeah, so that's the gritty. Definitely not what we just saw. Our Department of War did it. It's the same thing trying to throw the axe. Just total miss.

It's just so embarrassing. I'm just so embarrassed. The stupidest people, the most evil people running our country into the ground. Here is exactly what's happening. Here's what we know so far, and there is more reporting that's come out about this unprecedented meeting with hundreds of Tom military officers. Hundreds of admirals and generals are leaving their posts from airfield at sea and at tactical headquarters around the world. Defense Secretary Pete Hegsett summoning

all U.S. general officers and admirals in command positions and senior enlisted leaders to a meeting at the U.S. Marine Corps base in Quantico, Virginia. But even those told to attend the meeting do not know what prompted Hegg Seth's call and what will be discussed. The Pentagon saying only the Secretary of War will be addressing his senior military leaders early next week. President Trump was asked about the meeting, but perhaps misunderstanding the question or unaware of the Hegsseth meeting, he seemed to think it was foreign generals who were coming to meet Hegseth. Well, I know. I love it. I mean, I think it's great. Let him be friendly with the generals and admirals from all over the world. Why is there something? No, but is there something wrong? Vice President Vance stepping in. It's not particularly unusual that generals who report to the Secretary of War and then to the President, United States, are coming to speak with the Secretary of War.

But there has not been a meeting quite like this one. And it has created apprehension among senior officers. Last May, Hegsetth ordering at least a 20% reduction in the number of four-star generals and admirals across the active duty force. It's in keeping with President Trump's commitment to achieving peace through strength. We're going to shift resources from bloated headquarters elements to our warfighters. The secretary has already fired at least. 15 senior military officers, including General CQ Brown, the then chairman of the Joint Chiefs

of Staff, and the first woman to command the Navy Admiral Lisa Franketti, also let go. Yeah, and just a reminder, the only reason they chose Pete Hexeth was because he gave the order to shoot domestic protesters. This is not a drill. It's not a drill. Donald Trump just the other day tweeted that the military are allowed to use, quote, full force. What do you think that means? What do you think that means? But the right is. not, I mean, this is a right-wing podcaster. He happens to be gay, Tim Dillon, but here's what he had to say about this meeting.

He's going to give them some talk about the core values of the whatever. What core values? Bombing these Venezuelans that we say are trafficking drugs, whether they are or not, we're just like lobbing bombs at Venezuelan fishermen.

I mean, what are we, what core values? Yeah, so this is, I just think what's fascinating about this is, I don't think anyone really likes this idea and yet they're doing it. But I think that is also part for the course for the Trump administration where they have truly enacted things that no one likes. They're becoming more and more and popular and yet they're still going. That to me speaks to the fact that they don't really care about elections or about accountability. They just want to do what they're going to do

and they don't feel like they serve us. They feel like they're just there to serve themselves. That's how it kind of looks to me. And we are learning, too, that Donald Trump is now going to, Donald Trump cannot not be the center of attention. And we're learning now that he's actually going to show up. We have confirmation from the White House that POTUS is now attending the speech on Tuesday. That was not before what was planned. But of course, he can't handle that other people are getting attention here.

He is so orange. I'll never get over it. Why are we used to it? So orange. Here's more information about what's going to be discussed. This is a showcase for Heggis. tell them get on board or potentially have your career shortened. That sounds similar to what we learned about earlier when it comes to history.

The parents of Trump who allegedly dodged a Vietnam War draft five times will do little to quell those concerns. Though the president's signal he's just popping in to tell the military that they're doing a good job. Quote, it's really just a very nice meeting talking about how well we're doing militarily, talking about being in great shape, talking about doing a lot of good things. He said, he lied to NBC. Quote, we have some great people coming in. it's not a spirit decor. We know their expression is spirit of, oh, I can't even, I don't want to pretend like I even want to talk late Trump. HECSF plans to release a speech at the moment. It is unknown

what Trump will do with his speech. I am sure it's going to be awful. All right, well, we will follow this. I do think that we will see what happens. My hope is that it's just not a big deal, that it's nothing. But history may prove otherwise. Thanks for watching. If you feel like this video, please hit like.
