1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,000
Speaker 1: I missed. I missed the open though, because I wanted

2
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:03,560
Speaker 1: to hear Hexath FAFO.

3
00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:07,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, he'sa said it to our enemies f A f H.

4
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:09,760
Speaker 1: Well, Iran did for sure.

5
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:14,160
Speaker 3: Bleep around and find out. So long story short, this

6
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 3: was a big gathering of all the leaders of the

7
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 3: military right they were in Virginia.

8
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 1: It was a big story like what's going on? Why

9
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:24,560
Speaker 1: are they calling? You know, hundreds and hundreds of all

10
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:28,360
Speaker 1: the military leaders, generals and everything and nobody. Everybody was

11
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 1: speculating on what was going on.

12
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, it wasn't that deep. It wasn't like we were

13
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:36,559
Speaker 3: here to declare war on something. Hexath just wanted everybody

14
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 3: to know we are doing things differently than we did

15
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:43,560
Speaker 3: during the Biden administration.

16
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 4: This administration has done a great deal from day one

17
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 4: to remove the social justice, politically correct, and toxic ideological

18
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 4: garbage that had infected our department. To rip out the politics.

19
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 4: No more identity months, dei offices, dudes in dresses, no

20
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:08,679
Speaker 4: more climate change worship, no more division distraction or gender delusions,

21
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,320
Speaker 4: no more debris. As I've said before and we'll say again,

22
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 4: we are done with that.

23
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 1: Sounds like he has the same problem with his toilet

24
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 1: as we do ours, right.

25
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 3: I noticed that watching it today, there was a buzz

26
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 3: in the microphone at one point, and I'd hate to

27
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 3: be the person that was responsible for that. What HEGs

28
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,760
Speaker 3: this whole thing is, we're firing people if you don't

29
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 3: want to get on board, and heaven forbid you work

30
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 3: in the av department.

31
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:37,400
Speaker 2: Because that was not a good sound.

32
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 1: But I love that though it was incredible.

33
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 3: The message is great and it's isn't it ridiculous? Though

34
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 3: you have to say out loud, no more dudes and dresses.

35
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 3: We're done with that bleep. It's ridiculous. You have to

36
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 3: say it out loud. But here's some more examples of

37
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 3: what I'm talking about. He's adding a field combat test

38
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 3: for troops and general so, in essence, no more fatties.

39
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 4: It all starts with physical fitness and appearance. If the

40
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 4: Secretary of War can do regular hard pt, so can

41
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 4: every member of our.

42
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 1: Joint force that's him.

43
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 4: Frankly, it's tiring to look out at combat formations or

44
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 4: really any formation and see fat troops. Likewise, it's completely

45
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 4: unacceptable to see fat generals and admirals in the halls

46
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 4: of the Pentagon. And leading commands around the country in

47
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:28,119
Speaker 4: the world.

48
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 2: It's a bad look. It is bad and it's not

49
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 2: who we are.

50
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,640
Speaker 4: So whether you're an airborne ranger or a chairborne ranger,

51
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 4: a brand new private or a four star general, you

52
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 4: need to meet the height and weight standards and pass

53
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 4: for PT test.

54
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, you need to be in shape to

55
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 3: be part of the world's most powerful army.

56
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: I would hope. I would hope the troops on the

57
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 1: ground and the ones that are doing the fighting are

58
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,920
Speaker 1: the most in shape, like the generals and stuff that

59
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: are like calling the shots behind the scenes. Do they

60
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 1: have to have the same Uh? Maybe it is a

61
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: good idea. I mean, they have the same qualifications, the

62
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: same body shape as the people that are out on that.

63
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: You know, these are older guys, right, I don't know, Man,

64
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: could your military storm and Norman Schwartz calls right past

65
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 1: the same test?

66
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 2: Now, maybe he could have. I don't know.

67
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: He was kind of an egg shaped.

68
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 3: He was a little right Tommy looks sort of like

69
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 3: So it wasn't just fatties that Hegxith was targeting. Today

70
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 3: he brought a new term, and I'm shocked I hadn't

71
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 3: heard it yet weirdos with beards beard os.

72
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 4: And that's why today, at my direction, the era of

73
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 4: unprofessional appearance is over. This also means grooming standards.

74
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 2: No more beards, long hair.

75
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 4: Superficial individual expression. We're gonna cut our hair, shave, shave

76
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 4: our beards, and adhere to standards. Because it's like the

77
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 4: broken windows theory of policity. It's like when you let

78
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 4: the small stuff go, the big stuff eventually goes, so

79
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 4: you have to address the small stuff. This is on

80
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 4: duty in the field and in the rear. If you

81
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 4: want a beard, you can join Special Forces. If not,

82
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 4: then shaf no more beard doze. The era of rampant

83
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 4: and ridiculous shaving profiles is done.

84
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: Special Forces like the Sealed Team and like you know,

85
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: zero Dark thirty, all those guys had those crazy beards

86
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,679
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. But if you're just a regular

87
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 1: rank and file soldier, right time to start shaving, bud.

88
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 3: If you're doing the stuff the special Forces are, you

89
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 3: make your own rules, but until then, you go by

90
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 3: our rule.

91
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 1: And I heard something else too. I was reading something

92
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 1: about how if there is a some sort of biological

93
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: attack that if you put on a if you're a

94
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: military person. You put on a mask and you have

95
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 1: on just a crazy beard, it's not going to work.

96
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 1: I don't know if that it really has anything to

97
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,160
Speaker 1: do with that decision or not. Right, That's just one

98
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 1: of the things I read on social media which kind

99
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 1: of made sense.

100
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 3: So the big controversy, if you want to call it,

101
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 3: that was did Pete Hegsyth crap all over women in

102
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 3: his speech today?

103
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,839
Speaker 2: Not physically, metaphorically Take a listen.

104
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 4: It comes to any job that requires physical power to

105
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 4: perform in combat, those physical standards must be high and

106
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 4: gender neutral. If women can make it, excellent, If not,

107
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 4: it is what it is. If that means no women

108
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 4: qualify for some combat jobs, so be it. That is

109
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 4: not the intent, but it could be the result.

110
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:33,280
Speaker 2: So being.

111
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 1: So, look, if you're a chick and you can't able,

112
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 1: you're unable to qualify physically for a combat position, right

113
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: then there's another spot for you in the military.

114
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,679
Speaker 3: So I was talking with Casey Daniels earlier today because

115
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 3: I kind of feel like, and maybe I read her

116
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,159
Speaker 3: body language wrong. I kind of felt like she thought

117
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 3: Hexath was being disrespectful to women. I heard that this morning, Yes, so,

118
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,599
Speaker 3: which I simply asked her, if you're laying in a

119
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:06,479
Speaker 3: field and you need to be rescued with bullets flying,

120
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 3: who do you want picking you up and dragging you

121
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 3: to safety? Somebody who's strong like Guy Relford? Or do

122
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 3: you want Johnette from the news department? And I love

123
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 3: Johnette from the News department, but I don't think she's

124
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 3: picking you up, putting you on her shoulders and dragging

125
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 3: you to safety as quickly as say, Guy Relford could.

126
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: And that's all hegsit, the saying here a chick couldn't

127
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:33,479
Speaker 1: have done what Forrest Gump did.

128
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,280
Speaker 3: Most chicks And Hexith goes into some other stuff and

129
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,479
Speaker 3: I'll play this clip here in just a second, but

130
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 3: it goes the other way too, like who would you

131
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 3: rather have picking you up and rescuing you? Rhea Ripley

132
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 3: from the WWE or Clay Aiken, Like give me Rhea Ripley,

133
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 3: Like whoever can do the job, whoever passes the test,

134
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:55,160
Speaker 3: That's who I want.

135
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 2: I don't care who it is. Here's more from Pete Hexath,

136
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 2: and I would be very clear about this.

137
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 4: This is not about preventing women from serving. We are

138
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 4: very much value the impact of female troops. Our female

139
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 4: officers and NCOs are the absolute best in the world.

140
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 4: But when it comes to any job that requires physical

141
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 4: power to perform in combat, those physical standards must be

142
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 4: high and gender neutral. If women can make it excellent,

143
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 4: If not, it is what it is. If that means

144
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 4: no women qualify for some combat jobs, so be it.

145
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 4: That is not the intent, but it could be the result,

146
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 4: so be it. It will also that we mean that

147
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 4: weak men won't qualify because we're not playing games.

148
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 2: This is combat. This is life or death, as we

149
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 2: all know.

150
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 4: This is you versus an enemy hell bent on killing you.

151
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 4: To be an effective lethal fighting force, you must trust

152
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 4: that the warrior alongside you in battle is capable, truly

153
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 4: physically capable of doing what is necessary under fire. You know,

154
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 4: this is the only standard you would want for your

155
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 4: kids and for your grand kids.

156
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 2: That's it, right.

157
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 1: It's so funny because I remember reading a story about

158
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 1: how Joe Biden, under his leadership, they had a DEI

159
