Okay, well, I was debating doing a video, but there's truly just too much that has happened in the past few hours for me to wait until tomorrow morning. So I'm going to bring this all to you now from my house as I do when there is news that needs to be covered immediately. And there's a few things Donald Trump posted about the fact that he's calling those senators and congresspeople seditious. Donald Trump also threw Pete Hexeth under the bus on Air Force. one, you may not have seen that. I have that coming up for you too, and he was also asked by the MRI. And then Pete Hegseth posted this insane meme that essentially confirms that he's done something super legal. And I guess he's trying to joke his way through it. This is what happens when we put into office, but we need to put into power people who have no right being there. First, let's get to this.

Donald Trump said, this is a quick thing, but Donald Trump says, there are laws that affect our nation, read, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Do what has to be done. This is about, you know, those senators and members of Congress who said that they, that the military should not file illegal orders. Turns out that was pertinent. Now that we're learning what Pete Hex theft did, we know that Donald Trump wrote this one because he can't. spell there. Are you not embarrassed? Are you not embarrassed for our nation? Are you not embarrassed for our nation? I cannot believe that this guy has so much power, so much responsibility, and he can't even proof-check his stupid posts on his blog, True Social. Now, as I said, Pete Hackseth is in a bit of controversy because he posted this meme saying, for your Christmas wish list Franklin narco targets narco terrorists and then he have this child's cartoon

killing people this is what he's decided to post now what he's essentially admitting to but she denied a few hours ago is that he's done this shit that he did this shit now they're trying to say that there was no order to kill people who survived but as I'm going to show you that is going to be very easy to refute now I also don't know like what is the joke here what is the joke I think it's gross to be good about people killing other people to be close about war not that we're in a war this a very serious thing and I think to do this I I just don't understand what he's trying to say here other than I did it and good luck trying to get me for it,

something like that. Now, Tom Mikkel said, there's something very wrong with the Secretary of Defense. And Sarah Longwell said, are we going to be a country that lets a person meme and shit post his way out of accountability for alleged war crimes? Or do some things still matter? I think they still matter because Senator Brian Shatz said this. He said, Pete Hexeth needs to testify in the month of December before we pass a defense authorization.

I think that's just the beginning, honestly. Ed Markey said this a couple days ago. He said Pete Hexeth is a war criminal and should be fired immediately. Doesn't get much more serious than that, in my opinion.

We're going to see what happens. But Donald Trump is clearly, before we did gun on Trump, actually, let me just show you this too, because a Republican who serves on the House Armed Committee said this. War experts are saying that that was illegal, that killing people who are no longer able to fight is a war crime. What is your view and what questions do you have for the Pentagon? Congress does not have information that that had occurred.

Both the chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, chairman of the house armed services committee and ranking members have opened investigations obviously if that occurred uh that would be be very serious and i agree that that that would would be an illegal act okay republican congressman mike turner said if this happened it would be an illegal act now here's the thing it's on video it's on video bitch so it's going to come out it's going one thing we know is if it's on video it eventually comes out now here is donald trump being asked about this and very clearly giving himself wiggle room to toss Pete Hexeth under the bus if necessary. All right. Well, he says he did not, Pete said he didn't not even know what people were talking about.

I wouldn't have wanted a second strike. That right there is him saying if this shit comes to light and if a video comes out showing two strikes, he's saying it wasn't me. wasn't me. That's what he's doing. Now Pete Hexeth is going to try to push this on to people blow him, but I don't think that's going to work. And Donald Trump, I believe also was, oh yes, asked about the Tim Wall's MRI result or MRI. Tim Walts earlier today said that Donald Trump needs to release his MRI results. And here is what he had to say. I just don't feel like he has a fight in him anymore. If he's saying it's okay to release it, then that means we're never seeing that shit. We're never seeing that shit. Donald Trump does not want that shit coming out. It's like my phone call.

I got it peach. It's absolutely perfect. So if you want to hear about it or if you want to release it, you want to have it release news station. Failing, failing news station is doing it allows you, by the way. But if you want to have it released, I'll release it. Absolutely. You know what they were looking at. For what release it?

No, no. That's crazy. I mean, if you get an MRI done, the doctor tells you what they're looking for. Imagine getting any type of medical procedure done and not being informed what could be wrong, what they're looking for, where they're perhaps trying to check out, what's trying to make sure is working or not working. It makes absolutely zero sense. I just want to say one final thing about the Pete Hexeth thing Because Donald Trump says he trusts Pete Hexeth and trust his word

This is a man who lied about Signalgate Until he got caught Okay So we're going to trust Signalgate Pete Hegsteth Drunken Pete Hegsteth Over reporters who have Everything to lose and nothing to gain I don't know about that

I don't know about that All right, well, we're gonna, I mean, I'm gonna, oh, wait, one more thing. I was trying to make this short. So I'm gonna say this very quickly. I also wanted to say, this is proof that journalism is still important. And that this, though we are sliding towards authoritarianism, they still have to answer for shit. So this has given me hope, too, that this has actually become a scandal. It shows that they are not invincible.

Okay? Okay. That's all I got to say. Okay. I'm gonna go to bed. I hope, or if you are maybe watching this in the morning, I hope you have a great day. Either way, I'll see you later.
