I apologize for being late, ninjas.
As you guys know, this past uh week, I've been going live every day at five.
And uh, you know, after a while, starts to really draw on you, the fatigue, and I I didn't go to sleep, guys, until like damn near 12 o'clock.
And then I um looked, and I see holy crap, I I uh man, it's 5 51.
So I was like, oh shit.
So I just like woke up, right?
Just came right over here, started the stream, and then the stream like fucked up.
Like it didn't go live on YouTube, so I had to remake it and go back in again.
So um, I apologize for that, guys.
Um, but we're gonna have a good show today.
Definitely gonna have a good show.
I really apologize for coming late.
Um I'm pretty punctual by 5 p.m. that fucking stream is starting every time.
So um, I'm a little mad at myself that I didn't uh get a starter five, but it's okay.
We got a lot to talk about, a lot of things to cover.
Um, I was up earlier watching the um confirmation hearing for P Hexeth, which we're gonna go through today.
Um, and for those of you that are unaware, PXeth is uh is a veteran, he was um Trump named him uh as the uh potential Secretary of State.
Uh sorry, Secretary of Defense, excuse me.
Which, you know, if you're not um in the United States, pretty much that's gonna be the main guy for the military for their own forces, right?
He's pretty much like second or third in command behind the president vice and vice president when it comes to um power, right?
And the Secretary of Defense is an extremely important position, right?
That guy they pretty much dictate um, you know, use the forces of the military, everything else like that, and they're over the entire military.
Of course, the the president is the commander in chief, but the secretary of defense is kind of like looking at like he's the main guy that's that's um really running things, okay.
Um so this is a very important position.
And uh obviously P. Hexeth has a bunch of uh things in his past that have come up that have been fi fairly problematic, and we're gonna watch the hearing where they grill him on this stuff and and kind of react to it.
Um, also, we're gonna be covering the Department of Justice just released the Jack Smith, or Jack Smith just released the files from the Trump investigation, right?
Or some of them.
So we're gonna be going through that as well.
And uh, and our boy Andrew Tate got released from house arrest, man.
So fucking.
It's uh got a bunch of different stuff going on.
Um, Thomas Massey just got taken off the um the rules board, if I'm not mistaken, rules committee.
So uh we got a lot of stuff to discuss.
I really apologize for coming late, but I'm going to go ahead and make it up to you guys.
Um, we're still gonna be going 5 p.m. every day.
So, yeah, but I'm here now.
We're gonna make this shit happen, and we're gonna be more punctual on the next one.
Right now, we're live streaming on all the platforms, guys.
YouTube, Rumble, etc.
Even for F and F. I'm gonna stay on the air a little bit on Fresh and Fit, and then we're gonna go ahead and do the whole switch aroo when um when I got uh as many people here as I can, and then and then we'll kind of uh get it going.
So if you're watching on YouTube on YouTube on Fresh and Fit guys, um come on over to Rumble.
Uh, because I will I won't be on YouTube much longer.
Or sorry, well, I won't be on the Fresh and Fit accounts uh much longer.
So uh let me see here.
Okay, let me go ahead and just bear with me, guys.
I'm just getting some stuff situated here.
Okay, whatever.
Yeah, I got a whole new appreciation for uh Bills and Mo, man, because uh this shit ain't easy, bro.
This shit is definitely um not easy doing it yourself.
Um, and like running the stream as well, so it gets a little challenging, but anyway, let's see here.
So uh actually, you know what?
Let me go ahead and give you guys a quick little because unless you follow a politics, you're not gonna know who this guy is really.
So here he is.
He's here's Pete Hexeth, right?
Uh American television presenter, right?
So uh Peter Bryan Hex Seth board June 6, 1980, is an American television presenter, author, and former Army National Guard officer.
President elect Donald Trump is nominated exet to serve as United States Secretary of Defense in his second uh in his second cabinet, political commentator for Fox News since 2014 and weekend co-host of Fox and Friends from 2017 to 2024.
He's private previously the executive director of Vets for Freedom and Concerned Veterans for America, right?
So this guy actually saw combat, if I'm not mistaken, uh in the Middle East.
So Hex has been active in conservative Republican uh politics since his undergraduate days at Princeton University.
Princeton University is a very good school for those who aren't aware, one of the main Ivy League schools out of New Jersey.
As National Guardsman, he served at Guantanamo Bay and in Iraq and Afghanistan.
And in 2016, he emerged as a supporter of Donald Trump, presidential candidacy, and he served as an occasional advisor to Trump throughout the latter's first term as president.
Following High Seth's encouragement, Trump pardoned three soldiers accused or convicted of war crimes in 2019.
Hexeth was considered the lead uh to lead the United States Department of Veterans Affairs in the first Trump administration, but David Schuoklin, Shulkin, was tapped instead.
Hexeth has written books including American Crusade 2020 and the War on Warriors.
Okay.
Um then November 12th is when Trump uh originally nominated him to be the U.S. Secretary of Defense, which is a very important position.
And I'll go ahead and read this real quick because I know a lot of you guys that watch this stuff might not necessarily be as politically inclined.
So, you know, uh I'll kind of do this more from a rudimentary standpoint, right?
Um defense is the head of the United States Department of Defense, DOD, the executive department of the U.S. Armed Forces, and is a high-ranking member of the federal cabinet.
The Secretary of Defense's position of command and authority over the military second only to that of the president of the United States.
See, I told you guys, he's gonna be one or basically the one, two, or three guy behind the uh president and vice president, who is a commander in chief.
This politician, uh, this position corresponds to what is generally known as a defense minister in many other countries.
Right.
So this is an enormous amount of power.
And um, you know, I would say some of the key positions, right, in any administration is gonna be obviously the president himself, the vice president, right?
That's a bit more ceremonial, the secretary of state, secretary of defense, attorney general, and I will say those are the top three.
Then from there, you can kind of oh, sneaker of the house, all that.
Um, Because that person is actually what?
Third on the succession line, if I'm not mistaken?
Let me look here.
A lot of people don't know that.
US um president succession order.
Yep.
So yeah, boom.
So a lot of people don't know that.
So the vice president is obviously number two, but third is the speaker of the house, the president pro tempore of the Senate, Secretary of Hold on, let me see here.
Yep.
Okay.
President Pro Tempore of the Senate, Secretary of State, Secretary of the Treasury, Secretary of Defense, Attorney General.
So yeah, I for oh, I forgot to mention Secretary of the G uh Treasury as well.
Oh, yeah, and Homeland Security.
Homeland Security is pretty big.
So state, Treasury, Defense, Attorney General, and Secretary of Homeland Security is in 18th place.
Now here's the thing.
The reason why the Secretary of Homeland Security is so important, especially for the Trump administration is because they're they're trying to be hard on immigration.
If you're trying to be hard on immigration, or you got immigration problems, the Secretary of Homeland Security becomes very important, right?
All right, so uh let's go ahead and look at some of the clips from this hearing today.
And for those of you that are wondering, Pete Heggseth has been plagued, right, with scandals, right?
Whether it's drinking, misuse of funds, womanizing, uh he he famously said that women shouldn't be in combat positions in the military, which I you know, I fucking agree with Monco.
I actually agree with that, right?
And it's funny to watch these like people go ahead and like say you must say misogynistic things, right?
Because he's a he's not, he thinks that us um appealing to DEI has made the military weaker, which I actually agree with.
Now, what I don't like about Pete Heggseth, right?
Obviously, I respect his background.
Um, you know, he's he's wildly popular, right?
But what I dislike about him is that he's a neocon.
Okay.
He's he he is a he is a pro-Israel neocon.
Um, you know, and and I don't know if him coming in is going to stave off wars.
Um, you guys know my political stance with with this is uh, you know, I'm very anti-war, right?
And historically speaking, um, it's always been the Democrats that were historic uh anti-war, but now it's like a shift.
The Republicans now are anti-war.
I mean, Trump campaigned on being anti-war, and um, I'm hoping he sticks that, right?
Now we all know that presidents say what they gotta say to get elected, etc.
But um, but the reality is, hold on.
Uh, but the reality is war isn't gonna benefit us at this point at all.
So it's really not.
Um between what's going on in the Middle East um and what's going on with Russia and Ukraine.
Um, I think the last thing that we could afford right now is another conflict.
I think another thing that's also very important that no one talks about, okay.
I I've been saying this shit for years, right?
Since like 2022.
I noticed, and I want all of you guys to really think hard, right?
Right?
So stop the show.
I want you guys to go back, right?
In time.
I know a lot of you guys, right?
One of the biggest complaints, and one of the biggest campaign talking points was getting inflation down, right?
You guys want to know when I noticed that the inflation started to get pretty fucking crazy?
Early 2022.
But let me ask you guys, what happened in 2022?
In February, Russia invaded Ukraine, right?
And kicked off their special military operation.
After that, I noticed a spike, right, in the cost of like food.
Why is that?
Well, because um I COVID too, of course, COVID too, right?
But I noticed uh a spike after the Russian invasion.
And the reason for that is because Russia makes a lot of, you know, natural has a lot of natural resources.
And Ukraine, on top of that, is like considered the breadbasket of Europe.
So if a country that is responsible for making a bunch of bread and wheat, right, which is basically what like food is, you know, literally the cornerstone of food.
Like bread is the main thing, right?
That's obviously gonna create bottlenecks in other areas.
Right?
So if one area suffers, that means that other places have to kind of compensate and create more of said product to compensate for an area of being compromised.
That's what I that's what I noticed happened.
Right.
So and this is kind of like the unexpected and the non-noticeable thing when it comes to um modern conflict and war is it ends up having like a domino effect and affecting other industries negatively.
Right?
But that's something that no one really talks about is um how the price of food went up.
Um after the conflict.
Uh also, by the way, guys, if you want to get involved in a show, uh, Myron Gaines X is the website, okay.
Uh, you can go ahead and tip on there.
That's the best way to support me directly.
If you're watching on Rumble, you could do a rumble ran.
If you're watching on Cast Club, you could donate on there.
Or if you're watching on YouTube, uh, go ahead and go MyronGayn's X.com, and that will go ahead and uh get your super chat read.
Um yeah, so let's go ahead and get into uh some of the fiery moments from this confirmation here.
I do not believe that you are qualified to meet the overwhelming demands of this job.
Department of Defense under Donald Trump will achieve peace through strength, and in pursuing these America first national security goals will remain patriotically apolitical and stridently constitutional.
You said in your statement you don't want politics in the DOD.
Everything you've said in these public statements is politics.
I don't want women, I don't want moms.
What's wrong with a mom, by the way?
Okay, bro.
This this woman, where's she?
I think she's from New York.
Yeah, bro.
This chick was so pissed, bro.
I might I'm gonna have to just pull up her her grilling uh for your guys' entertainment just just for that.
She was so fucking mad.
A couple of these women like were losing their fucking minds off this guy, man, for his comments about um about women and uh not serving in the military is literally fucking comical.
Um, how mad they get in these public statements is politics.
I don't want women, I don't want moms.
What's wrong with a mom, by the way?
Once you have babies, you therefore are no longer able to be lethal.
I've never disparaged women serving in the military.
I respect every single female service member that is put on the uniform past and present.
My critiques, Senator, recently and in the past, and from personal experience, have been instances where I've seen standards lowered.
Would you use our military to take over Greenland or an ally uh of uh of Denmark?
Bro, that accident is crazy, and then you look at her, she's aged, bro.
Holy will you use military to take over Greenland?
Or instances where I've seen standards lowered, would you use our military to take over Greenland?
Or she's a Hawaiian, she's sound drunk right now.
An ally uh of Denmark.
Senator, one of the things that President Trump is so good at is never strategically tipping his hand.
And so I would never in this public forum give one way or another directly what orders the president gives me in any context.
That sounds to me that you would contemplate uh carrying out such an order to basically invade Greenland.
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 in they're not anonymous.
The letters on the record here not anonymous.
On the record, people records with names.
Hey man, look.
Everybody in here showed up to work drunk before.
Come on, man.
Come on.
Come on.
I don't even know.
I don't even drink, and I know that everybody does that shit.
You know what I mean?
Let's keep it a thousand.
Chat, how many of y'all niggas showed up drunk to work before, bro?
I know every single one of y'all's probably done that shit once.
Or hung over some shit from work from uh from last the night before.
So is funny.
Senator Kane, or I guess I better use the senator from Virginia starts bringing up the fact that what if you showed up drunk to your job?
How many senators have showed up drunk to vote at night?
Have any of you guys asked them to step down and resign for their job?
And don't tell me you haven't seen it because I know you have.
Here, one long answer, yes or no?
Have you led an audit of any organization of which you were in charge?
Senator, in both of the organizations I ran, we were always completely fiscally responsible.
Yes or no, did you need an audit?
And the way you can't do that.
Yes or no, did you lead an audit?
What are you afraid of?
You can't answer this question.
Yes or no, did you lead an audit?
Do you not know this answer?
Senator of my leader.
Yo, these bitches gotta ask the car with this guy.
I told y'all that this that this hearing was gonna be fucking comedy, bro.
Very uh bro, this was very you know, okay, so yo.
I ain't gonna lie to you guys, right?
I remember a time where politics was very boring boring, very, you know, lukewarm, no excitement, no drama, no nothing, right?
But after Trump came in, right?
There's been fucking craziest shit going on in politics, bro.
Like Trump has literally been like a lightning rod for the fucking media.
Let me let me give you niggas an example real quick of like, because I don't think some of you guys are young, you might not know what I'm talking about.
Like, look what witness this.
Look, look.
This is this is a video I always show people to show people like this is what American politics used to be like, right?
Barack Obama versus Mitt Romney, right?
So you look at this debate between these guys.
Last eight years have been managed by a blind trust, and I understand they do include investments outside the United States, including in Chinese companies.
Mr. President, have you looked at your pension?
Have you looked at your pension?
I've got to say.
Mr. President, have you looked at your pension?
You know, I don't look at my pension.
It's not as big as yours, so it doesn't take as long.
Let me give you some advice.
I don't check it that often.
Let me give you some advice.
Look at your pension.
You also have investments in Chinese companies.
You also have investments outside the United States.
You also have investments through a Cayman's Trust.
We're way, we're.
See, like that would be considered adversarial back then, right?
But these guys, right?
Look how more much more professional they are.
But uh the most important one the luckiest man uh you will not be and congratulations to you, Mr. President, on your anniversary.
I'm sure this was the most romantic place you could imagine here with me.
So I congratulations.
See, even when they when they insult each other, whatever, it's way more respectful, right?
It's not, it's it's more it's calmer, it's more professional, it's not as crass.
Meanwhile, fast forward, right?
Oh, oh.
*crickets* Thank you.
right Every time I think about Trump, I get a word chick.
Oh, when you're a star, they let you do it.
You can do anything.
Y'all ready for this?
Well, guys, you gotta see this guy.
Oh, I don't know what I said.
Oh, I'm a murderer.
I would imagine it can only get worse.
They're bringing crime, they're rapists.
We have some bad ombres here, and we're gonna get them out.
And some, I assume are good people.
Oh, I remember when he said that shit.
We got some bad ombres.
Bro, everyone went fucking crazy about that shit.
Yo, this is what I'm trying to say.
After Trump came in to came in and campaigned, he literally made politics interesting again.
Let's just keep it a million.
With his fucking crazy ass comments, like this was unheard of, guys.
Like what you guys are seeing right now, the fucking political wildness, people doing wild shit.
Like, bro, I would never, ever, ever, ever, in my Wildest imaginations, right?
Think I would see a potential Secretary of Defense being grilled about coming to work drunk.
You understand?
Like ever since like prior to Donald Trump, like scandals like this and wild shit was not a thing in politics, guys.
Everyone was super clean, squeaky background.
When they debate each other, they're super uh you politically correct and polite, right?
No making fun of each other, no, you know, kicking a nuts comments.
But then Trump came in and just flipped everything on upside down.
Right now we got his nominee, the exph getting grilled by women for saying they shouldn't be serving in the military, or that he drinks alcohol, or that he's a womanizer.
Politics politics has significantly changed since 2015.
Build a wall.
Building a wall.
Who's going to pay for the wall?
And I think you can see I'm having a good time.
I really am.
Aurelia Donald's disgusting.
I mean, both inside and out.
You call women you don't like fat pigs, dogs.
Take a look at her, she's a slob.
Slobs and disgusting animals.
Your Twitter account.
Only Rosie O'Donnell.
Like you wouldn't have your job if you weren't beautiful.
You would have your job if you're beautiful.
Yo, this is craziness.
Guys, this is craziness.
For a president to be like this is fucking wildness.
It's hilarious.
It's awesome.
Right?
And I think that's why some people love Donald Trump.
But like, this is the old Trump that I miss.
Right?
This thing's crazy, bro.
Until Donald Trump, there was not another president that was this entertaining and this funny and politically incorrect.
We got some bad ombres.
Bro.
Look at my African American over here.
Look at him.
Look at my.
Look at my African American over here.
Bro.
Well, I'll tell you about y'all.
Sorry, chat.
J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States.
Oh, the Muslim baby.
Hey!
USA!
Wow.
Don't worry about that, baby.
I love babies.
So I like it.
What a baby.
Actually, I was only kidding.
You can get the baby out of here.
And you like all her choices, are you ever like?
No, not all her choices, but tonight I like it a lot.
If I get there, I may supersede my.
That's this Elizabeth Warren.
I call her Goofy.
And ISIS now is building a hotel in Iraq.
They're competing with me.
You believe it?
France, if you like.
Yo, this is Vince's Trump right here, chat.
This is this is Vince's Trump right here, man.
Alright, but anyway, I just kind of wanted to go on that little um journey with you guys to let you know that American politics has not always been this fucking crazy.
Right?
You're not these organizations.
I'm not a perfect person.
But redemption is real.
And God forged me in ways that I know I'm prepared for.
And I I'm honored by the people standing and sitting behind me.
All right.
...and literally having my back.
...who are misogynists.
Not only that, you are a Christian Zionist.
You heard that?
He's screaming you're a Christian Zionist.
If I'm not mistaken, chat, is he's an evangelical, right?
I think Pete Hexeth is an evangelical Christian chat.
I think that's why he fucking shills for Israel so hard.
Someone in the chat let me know.
Um I'm like 90% sure he's an evangelical.
I want to thank the authorities for their uh swift reaction to that outburst and uh state that that uh similar uh interruptions will be uh treated in like manner.
Mr. Heggseth, you may continue.
Well, as I'll say again, thank you for figuratively and literally having my back.
I pledge to do the same for all of you.
It's an honor to come before this committee today as President Donald Trump's nominee for the office of Secretary of Defense.
Two months ago, 77 million Americans gave President Trump a powerful mandate for change to put America first at home and abroad.
I want to thank Yeah, that means no worse for Israel, Pete.
President Trump for his faith in me and his selfless leadership for our republic.
The troops have no better commander-in-chief than Donald Trump.
As I've said to many of you in private meetings, when President Trump chose me for this position, the primary charge he gave me was to bring the warrior culture back to the Department of Defense.
He, like me, wants a Pentagon laser focused on lethality, meritocracy, warfighting, accountability, and readiness.
When are you going to stop calling me?
He's going to be a better person for the nation.
Another heckler.
You may continue, sir.
Returning the pentagon back to war fighting.
That's it.
That's my job.
Mr. Heggseth, uh suspend your remarks.
Uh let me just say this.
Um the Capitol police are going to remove immediately individuals that are disrupting the hearing.
I see a pattern attempted uh uh to um be inflicted on the committee, and and we're simply not going to tolerate that.
You may proceed.
To bring back war fighting, if confirmed, I'm going to work with President Trump and this committee to one, restore the warrior ethos to the Pentagon and throughout our fighting force.
In doing so, we will re-establish trust in our military, addressing the recruiting crisis, the retention crisis, and readiness crisis in our ranks.
President Obama: The security force will remove members.
Mr. Heseth, you may.
The strength of our military is our unity and our shared purpose, not our differences.
Number two, we're going to rebuild our military, always matching threats to capabilities.
This includes reviving our defense industrial base, reforming the acquisitions process, as you mentioned, Mr. Chairman, no more valley of death for new defense companies, modernizing our nuclear triad, ensuring the Pentagon can pass an audit.
So let's see here.
What else do we got here?
Mr. Heggseth, thank you for being here today.
Thank you for your service to the going after him for the drinking this country.
Thank you, Senator.
Few nominees come into this room with all the necessary experience to do this job to be Secretary of Defense.
We get that.
It's a reflection on just how big of a job this is.
What I want to understand is whether or not you bring any of the necessary experience that this job requires.
And here's where I'm concerned.
Senator Coleman, in introducing you, and this is a quote, he said, he has struggled and overcome great personal challenges.
Unquote.
You walk in here saying that you've had personal and character issues in your past, including heavy drinking, which he wrote about.
And you said, and this is a quote from you, that you said, I sit before you as an open book.
Yet you haven't actually said what personal challenges it is that you've overcome when you've been asked about them.
So I'm going to give you an opportunity here to be as forthright as you say you want to be.
So while leading concerned veterans of America, there were very specific cases cited by individuals About your conduct.
I'm going to go through a few of them.
And I just want you to tell me if these are true or false.
Very simple.
on memorial day 2014 at a cva event in virginia you needed to be carried out of the event for being he got wasted huh got wasted But damn, they're bringing some shit up from 10 years ago, bro.
Intoxicated.
Senator Anonymous Smears.
Just true or false.
Very simple.
Keep in mind, guys, he's under oath.
Right?
So this this is this is a big deal.
Summer of 2014 in Cleveland, drunk in public with the CVA team.
Anonymous smears.
I'm just asking for true or false questions.
True or false answers.
An event in North Carolina, drunk in front of three young female staff members after you had instituted a no alcohol policy and then reversed it.
True or false?
Anonymous smears.
December of 2014 at the CBA Christmas party at the Grand Hyatt at Washington, DC, you were noticeably intoxicated and had to be carried up to your room.
Is that true or false?
Anonymous smears.
Another time, a CBA staffer stated that you passed out in the back of a party bus.
Is that true or false?
Anonymous smears.
In 2014.
Notice how he's he's you know giving the um the ambiguous answer of anonymous smears because technically he's not saying if it's true or false.
Right.
While in Louisiana on official business for CVA, did you take your staff, including young female staff members, to a strip club?
Hey, real nigga, baby, let's go.
Absolutely not anonymous smears.
Okay, so that's one he denied.
Notice he didn't deny the others.
He denied that one.
So is it accurate that the organization reached a financial settlement with a female staffer who claimed to be at a strip club with you?
And there was a colleague who attempted to sexually assault her.
Was there a financial set settlement?
Senator, I was not involved in that.
Uh I don't know the nature of how that played out.
But you understand there was a financial set settlement for a young female staffer who accused another member of the organization, not you, of sexual assault in a strip club.
We have multiple statements on the record referring to that.
Um but you claim you were not there when that occurred.
Absolutely not.
Now, the behavior I cited, if true, do you think that this behavior of intoxication going into the Hey?
Also, guys, we got almost 4,000 of you ninjas watching between the the channels.
So we're gonna be shifting over to Myron Gaines X somewhat soon.
So do me a favor, guys, either switch on over to Myron Gaines X on Rumble or YouTube, and also like the video on YouTube ninjas.
These type of establishments, women on your staff being so uncomfortable that they have to file these sort of harassment claims.
Do you think this is appropriate behavior for a leader?
Senator Wellman, Senator, the overwhelming majority of anyone who's worked.
And just so you guys know, they did this with uh Matt Gates as well.
Um attacked him for shit like this, saying that he was hooking up with a girl being her sugar daddy or whatever.
They tried to say that she was underage, 17 years old.
This is what they do, man.
They definitely ran a smear campaign and they they forced him to number one, now take the attorney general job, and he pretty much resigned from his position.
For me, including the on-the-record statements that have been submitted to this with their and he also wasn't necessarily uh well, when I talk about Matt Gates, uh he wasn't necessarily the show for them boys.
Your name on it, on the record, men and women who worked with me every day are the overwhelming preponderance of evidence that testify to my leadership and professionalism in leading Vets for Freedom and Concerned Veterans for America.
My leadership has been completely impugned on these veterans organizations that did fantastic work.
Mr. Hexner, I'm not even going to go into the, I'm not even going to go into the accusations.
And we manage our financial books with integrity across the board.
How many people, everybody who runs the campaign.
I have limited time.
I'm not gonna get into the Yeah.
Um each each uh Senator had only about seven minutes to grill the well it it's a long time, but it goes by quick because these people obviously a lot of them had an axe to grind.
Accusations that come from Fox News.
Now you have some of your Fox News colleagues here.
There are multiple instances of accusations against you about drinking on the job and it's all false, all refuted by my colleagues who've I worked with for 10 years at 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. and everything.
The challenge here for me, Mr. Hedson.
Is when there is discussion about personal challenges, and you admittedly had issues with heavy drinking.
It's hard to kind of square this to square the circle here.
It's it's it's it's kind of a difficult thing to do.
Let me ask you if um I have about a 90 seconds left here.
If you had to answer these questions about sexual assault against you and your drinking and your personal conduct, would it have been different if this if you were under oath?
Senator.
Oh shit, he's not under oath.
My bad, guys.
My bad.
He's not that's why he was able to give those those uh those ambiguous answers.
That's interesting that they didn't put him under oath.
That's really interesting, actually.
All I'm pointing out is the false claims against me.
Okay, I take it you do not want to answer that question.
I walk in, walked into into this hearing this morning, concerned that you haven't demonstrated adequate leadership in your civilian roles.
And this is a dangerous world we're living in here.
And America cannot afford a Secretary of Defense who is unprepared for that mission.
I'm gonna leave with concerns about your transparency.
You say you've had personal issues in your past, yet when asked about those very issues, you blame an anonymous smear campaign, even when many of these claims are not anonymous.
Which is it?
Have you overcome personal issues, or are you the target of a smear campaign?
It can't be both.
It's clear to me to me that you're not being honest with us or the American people, because you know the truth would disqualify you from getting the job.
And just as concerning as each of these specific disqualifying accusations are, what concerns me just as much is the idea of having a Secretary of Defense who is not transparent.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I yield back my two seconds.
Thank you.
Shit.
Uh thank you, Senator Sullivan.
Senator Kane.
Thank you, Mr. Now they're gonna hit him with infidelity.
Heggseth, I looking for it.
Guys, they were beating him up today, man.
I ain't a lot of y'all.
They were beating up on him pretty bad today.
This this was crazy.
This opportunity.
It was like a four-hour long um session.
I want to return to the instant.
Matter of fact, let me read chats real quick.
Shout out to you guys.
Again, guys, quick uh announcement.
If you're watching the show on Rumble, Rumble Ranson.
If you guys are watching the show on Castle Club, Castle Club in.
If you guys really want to support your watching on YouTube, MyronGaines X.com is how you can go ahead and get involved in the show.
I'm gonna be reading all chats and showing them on screen.
Let me go ahead and start reading some of these right now.
Army Vet says uh he's absolutely right.
I was in field artillery infantry, and there's no way we wouldn't have uh we wouldn't have lost more men if uh we had women in our unit.
Fair.
Uh and here's the thing, too.
This guy was actually on the ground, like he actually saw combat, unlike a lot of these other policymakers.
Uh what up, Myer just thought you'd be pleased to know that my company is SS painting and decorating property uh maintenance.
Simon Scott, um is SS painting?
I don't know what you mean by that.
Um boys, New York Post, uh Okay, he's funny as president history.
Okay, that's a thing with Trump.
Alboise, all right.
Uh Real World 89 says, what's up with uh the Venezuelan president talking about invading Puerto Rico or Brazil?
Where does he get the balls to say that?
Ah, bro, he ain't going nowhere.
No one likes Maduro, bro.
Um, he's got his own problems at home.
Uh starting with my welding apprenticeship Monday, so I'm going to work hard for that six-figure salary.
Thank you, Mara, for what you do.
You're like the big brother never had no problem, prod prod.
Um we got here.
So boosted says, uh, my favorite clip when the center asked him, how many genders are there?
Oh okay.
Let's see if we can find that clip somewhere.
Yo, uh, so Blue, can you send me the link for that?
Dalfoid says this is a humiliation ritual.
Yep.
Absolutely.
Because here's the thing.
He actually went with a lot of his supporters to this hearing, because he knew that they were gonna they were gonna do this, bro.
He knew that they were gonna come for his fucking neck.
This is why I think Matt Gates that just like dropped out.
You don't want to have to deal with this bullshit.
Um says he has a votes.
The last Republican holdout is going to be voting yes after him, uh, crushing this hearing.
Yeah, I mean, um, you know, we'll see what happens, dude.
Obviously, Republicans are gonna look at it like, yeah, he did a great job, and then uh, you know, people on the left are gonna say he did a terrible job, or they drilled him.
So we'll see.
...incident that you referenced a minute ago that occurred in Monterey, California in October 2017.
At that time you were still married to your second wife, correct?
Yeah, I think he's on his third wife now.
Uh I believe so.
And you had just fathered a child by a woman who would later become your third wife, correct?
Senator, I was falsely charged.
I completely investigated and completely cleared.
So you think you are completely cleared because you committed no crime?
That's your definition of cleared.
You had just fathered a child too.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
If he wasn't convicted of a crime, what do you what is it?
What's this guy's fucking angle here?
Fuck's he's talking about.
Rewind that real quick.
Child by a woman to talk.
I want to return to the incident that you referenced a minute ago that occurred in Monterey, California in October 2017.
At that time, you were still married to your second wife, correct?
Uh I believe so.
And you had just fathered a child by a woman who would later become your third wife, correct?
Senator, I was falsely charged.
Fully investigated and completely cleared.
So you think you are completely cleared because you committed no crime.
That's your definition of cleared.
You had just uh Yeah, technically, kind of, yeah.
I mean, if he wasn't charged with a crime, like this fathered a child two months before.
I mean, if you want to go ahead and say, like, hey, that's just conduct unbecoming, that's one thing, right?
But as far as like the way they're trying to frame this as if he committed a crime, adultery isn't illegal, bro.
In a lot of uh uh in a lot of uh, I mean, some states it is still on the books, but it's not enforced that it's not enforced as a as a crime.
By a woman that was not your wife.
I am shocked that you would stand here and say you're completely cleared.
Can you so casually cheat on a second wife and cheat on the mother of a child that had been born two months before, and you tell us you were completely cleared?
So how is that a complete clear?
Senator Hurt, the child's name is Gwendolyn Hope Heggseth.
And she's a child of God, and she's seven years old.
And she was like, and you cheated on the mother of that child less than two months.
Bro, they're really coming after him, huh, chat?
God damn.
They're really coming after him, bro.
Two months after that daughter was born, didn't you?
Those were false charges.
Well, no, fully investigated, and I was completely cleared.
And I am so grateful at you for the marriage I have to the Senate.
No, you've admitted me.
You've admitted that you had sex.
Max says, Have you seen the son of Hamas's work of Israel as a spy and just threatened a politicians if they don't do what they want?
Yeah, Mossab Youssef, whatever the fuck his name is.
Bro, he's he's uh he wrote a whole book on that shit.
Um yeah, he he I did see that.
I think it was a debate that he did with um with Senk out of young Turks.
I I have seen that clip, Matt Gaety for.
I mean, I could play it if the chat wants it, but yeah.
Um yeah, that dude was a uh was a spy for Israel.
Now he's an American citizen, he got US citizenship from uh doing that.
At that hotel on October 20th.
And converted to Christianity.
You said it was consensual, isn't that correct?
Anything uh you've admitted that it was consensual, and you were still married and you just had a child by another woman.
Again, how do you explain your judges?
You you know I investigated and I was completely clear.
You have admitted that you had sex while you were married to wife two after you just had fathered a child by wife three.
You've admitted that.
Now, if it had been a sexual assault, that would be disqualifying to be Secretary of Defense, wouldn't it?
It was a false claim then and a false claim now.
If it had been a sexual assault.
But it wasn't, bro.
So what the fuck are you angling here?
It wasn't.
Could you say that there were maybe, you know, um infidelity and con the uh conduct unbecoming?
Sure.
But it was a sexual assault, man.
That would be disqualifying to be a secretary of defense, wouldn't it?
That was a false claim.
So you're talking about a hypothetical.
So you can't tell me whether someone who has committed a sexual assault is disqualified from being Secretary of Defense.
Senator, I know in my instance, and I'm talking about my instance only, it was a false claim.
But you acknowledge it was fully acknowledged that you cheated on your wife and that you cheated on the woman who by whom you had.
Look at a move in the goalpost, man.
Just fathered a child.
You have admitted that.
I will allow your words to speak for the You're not retracting that today.
That's good.
I assume that in each of your weddings you've pledged to be faithful to your wife.
Uh bad.
Guys, this is why you got to just have multiple chicks, man.
You don't deal with bullshit like this, bro.
Holy is coming after him, bro.
All right, uh so boosted gave me the link here.
All right, thank you, So Boosted.
Let me I'll put this on the um You've taken Actually entered What is this link?
I know that while I'm a she Oh the genders.
Okay, thank you.
This is a gender one.
All right, we'll play that one next.
And an oath to do that, haven't you?
Senator, as I've acknowledged to everyone in this committee, not a perfect person, not claiming to be.
But no, I just asked the simple question.
You've taken an oath, like you would take an oath to be Secretary of Defense in all of your weddings to be faithful to your wife.
Is that correct?
I have failed in things in my life, and thankfully I'm redeemed by my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
In finalizing divorces from your good answer.
Good answer.
No one's perfect.
First and second wives, were there non-disclosure agreements in connection with those divorces?
Senator, not that I'm aware of.
If there were, would you agree to release those first and second wives from any confidentiality agreement?
Senator, it's not something I'm aware of.
But but if there were, you would agree to release them from a confidentiality agreement.
Senator, that's not my responsibility.
Did you ever engage in any acts of physical violence against any of your wives?
Senator, absolutely not.
But you would agree with me that if someone had committed physical violence against a spouse, that would be disqualifying to serve as Secretary of Defense, correct?
Senator, absolutely not have I ever done that.
You would agree that that would be a disqualifying offense, would you not?
Senator, you're talking about a hypothetical.
Yeah, bro.
This is seriously like grasping here.
Like dude is literally bringing up a hypothetical like, well, if you were convicted of XYZ, you would not be qualified for this job, would you?
But he didn't.
So what the fuck are you trying to say here, dude?
This is just like, look, again, I'm not the biggest fan of this guy because he's a s um huge fucking, you know, neocon.
But this is ridiculous now.
This is starting to get ridiculous.
Come on, man.
Um I don't think it's a hypothetical.
Violence against spouses occurs every day.
And if you as a leader are not capable of saying that physical violence against a spouse should be a disqualifying fact for being secretary of the most powerful nation in the world, you're demonstrating an astonishing lack of judgment.
The incident in Monterey led to a criminal charge, a criminal investigation, a private settlement, and a cash payment to the woman who filed the complaint.
And there was also a non-disclosure agreement, correct?
It was a confidential confidential settlement agreement off of a nuisance lawsuit, right?
Uh during an interview, you claimed that you settled the matter because you were worried that if it became public it might hurt your career.
Do you maintain that you were blackmailed?
Um, Senator, I maintain that false claims were made against me.
And ultimately, your attorney's false claims you have the opportunity To attest my innocence in those false claims.
Um, but you didn't reveal any of this to President Trump or the transition team as they were considering you to be nominated for Secretary of Defense.
You didn't you didn't reveal the the action, you didn't reveal the criminal complaint, you didn't reveal the criminal investigation, you didn't reveal the settlement, you didn't reveal the cash uh but he was cleared.
I mean cash payment.
Why didn't you inform the commander in chief and the transition team of this very relevant event?
Senator, I've appreciated every part of the process with the transition team.
They have been open and honest with me.
We've had great conversations between the two of us, and uh I appreciate the opportunity that President Electric.
But you but you you chose not to reveal this, right?
Because you knew it would hurt your chances.
So you chose not to reveal this really important thing to the commander in chief of the transition team because you were worried about your chances rather than trying to be candid with the future.
Ken Rose, giving the thumbs up.
Thank you so much, Ken Rose.
President of the United States.
Are there any other important facts that you chose not to reveal to the president electing his team as they were considering you to be Secretary of Defense?
Senator, I sit here before you in open book as everyone who's watched this process.
With with multiple non-disclosure and confidentiality agreements tying the hands of many people who would like to comment to us.
Um much has been made uh of your work.
Um well, the reason for that is because a lot of these people are going to say and make up things to get a fucking book deal to make some money.
Right?
How many times has that happened where women make all accusations or are able to monetize said accusations?
Jeannie Carroll bring it comes to mind, wrote a whole book on her getting graped by Donald Trump.
Um the um Kavanoff hearing where this woman came out and said that he graped her like 30 or 40 years ago and had zero proof.
The devil's triangle, remember that?
With no proof.
Guess what?
She had a book deal that made her a million dollars at that time, too.
So I don't blame him for giving them giving these women NDAs because when you're famous, right?
This guy's make keep in mind, this guy's not like a regular politician.
The dude is like a TV personality.
Right?
He's a TV personality.
It's very common for people on TV to give people NDAs.
It's kind of a uh it's kind of a um a way of doing things.
Workplace behavior as a leader of nonprofit veterans organizations and as a Fox News contributor.
Um, were you fired from either of the leadership positions with the nonprofits?
I was the leader, I was the CEO of Consulate.
Those two directors were you fired freedom.
Were you fired from either?
I was never fired from a non-discondization.
Do you have non-disclosure agreements with either of those organizations?
Not that I'm aware of, Senator.
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 of the thing.
The letters on the record, you're not anonymous on the record, people.
We've seen records with names attached to the freedom, concern vets for America, and Fox News.
One of the colleagues working hard every day, one on behalf of one of your colleagues said that you got drunk at an event at a bar and chanted kill all Muslims.
Another colleague, not anonymous, we have this, said that.
Look, man, guarantee it wasn't that serious.
And this is coming from a Muslim guy, right?
He probably was fucking around.
You guess some dr you get drunk, make some fucking say some stupid shit.
You took co-workers to a strip club.
You were drunk, you tried to dance with strippers, you had to be held off the Hey, real digger, baby.
Hey, bitch, come over here.
Let's go.
Oh, man.
Hello, what agent, one of your employees in that event filed a sexual harassment charge as a result of it.
Now I know you denied these things, but i isn't that the kind of behavior that, if true, would be disqualifying for somebody to be Secretary of Defense.
Senator Anonymous false charges.
They're not anonymous.
And and I'll just conclude and say this to the chairman.
You claimed that this was all anonymous.
We have seen records with names attached to all of these, including the name of your own mother.
So don't make this into some anonymous press thing.
We have seen multiple names of colleagues consistently throughout your career that have talked.
Senator Gilliber.
All right, now these are gonna be the comments about women.
