WEBVTT - Why Hegseth's Attacks on Mark Kelly are an EMBARRASSMENT | A Conversation with Ken Harbaugh

0:00:00.600 --> 0:00:05.880
<v Speaker 1>I believe that I can say this without hypperably and

0:00:06.280 --> 0:00:11.280
<v Speaker 1>I and I've been accused of being hyperbolic by people

0:00:11.320 --> 0:00:18.000
<v Speaker 1>who have said, oh, hey, you exaggerate the threat that

0:00:18.040 --> 0:00:20.919
<v Speaker 1>Trump poses. And I think that I've been proven right

0:00:21.160 --> 0:00:27.040
<v Speaker 1>and they've been proven wrong. You know a lot about

0:00:27.160 --> 0:00:34.599
<v Speaker 1>military history and about the institutions. We have had incompetent

0:00:34.800 --> 0:00:40.080
<v Speaker 1>generals and leaders and officers in the military. We've had

0:00:40.200 --> 0:00:48.400
<v Speaker 1>corrupt officials in the military. Is there anybody who is

0:00:48.479 --> 0:00:52.440
<v Speaker 1>worse than Pete Hagsass in the whole history of the country,

0:00:53.040 --> 0:00:58.400
<v Speaker 1>who's held a position of comparable responsibility in the whole

0:00:58.480 --> 0:01:02.240
<v Speaker 1>of the two hundred and fifty year existence. At these inscritions,

0:01:03.840 --> 0:01:08.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm prepared to right now call the question, but stow

0:01:08.640 --> 0:01:13.199
<v Speaker 1>on him the all time gold medal, like Babe Ruth

0:01:13.840 --> 0:01:19.440
<v Speaker 1>generally acknowledged to be the greatest baseball player, right, maybe

0:01:19.440 --> 0:01:24.479
<v Speaker 1>Willie Mays right, But I'm talking at the next level

0:01:24.520 --> 0:01:30.200
<v Speaker 1>of dip shittery. If the United States Army makes it

0:01:30.240 --> 0:01:34.440
<v Speaker 1>to its thousand anniversary, from this mark of two hundred

0:01:34.440 --> 0:01:38.480
<v Speaker 1>and fifty years, for seven hundred and fifty years, they'll

0:01:38.480 --> 0:01:44.039
<v Speaker 1>be singing cadences about this dipshit as a warning never

0:01:44.160 --> 0:01:51.680
<v Speaker 1>ever again, do you do you you to you too much?

0:01:52.520 --> 0:01:54.040
<v Speaker 1>Or there he is.

0:01:54.880 --> 0:01:58.000
<v Speaker 2>I think that is about right. I see a silver

0:01:58.080 --> 0:02:01.240
<v Speaker 2>lining in this, which is that for all of the

0:02:01.480 --> 0:02:05.800
<v Speaker 2>enormous threats that this administration poses to the Constitution and

0:02:05.880 --> 0:02:09.440
<v Speaker 2>to the American people, the fact that they have staffed

0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:16.360
<v Speaker 2>their regime with such incompetent as you put in dipshits means,

0:02:16.560 --> 0:02:19.120
<v Speaker 2>you know, we've got to fight and chance here. I

0:02:19.120 --> 0:02:21.480
<v Speaker 2>know we're not talking about Lindsay Alligan, but look at

0:02:21.480 --> 0:02:26.600
<v Speaker 2>how that case dissolved. I mean, the level of incompetence

0:02:26.639 --> 0:02:29.440
<v Speaker 2>in this administration is really the best thing we've got

0:02:29.480 --> 0:02:31.720
<v Speaker 2>going for us. And in the case of Hegsath and

0:02:31.760 --> 0:02:34.480
<v Speaker 2>the Department of Defense, we're not calling it the Department

0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:39.280
<v Speaker 2>of War. This so called investigation of Kelly is going

0:02:39.360 --> 0:02:42.120
<v Speaker 2>to fall apart in the first week. There is no

0:02:42.520 --> 0:02:45.800
<v Speaker 2>way they're going to get anything on him. In fact,

0:02:45.800 --> 0:02:49.040
<v Speaker 2>that they should just volunteer now to do all of

0:02:49.080 --> 0:02:52.160
<v Speaker 2>his senatorial fundraising because they just put him in front

0:02:52.240 --> 0:02:54.960
<v Speaker 2>runner status for twenty twenty eight.

0:02:55.040 --> 0:02:56.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I.

0:02:56.280 --> 0:03:01.120
<v Speaker 2>Cannot imagine a more incompetent approach. The response to this

0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:03.720
<v Speaker 2>video these six patriots put.

0:03:03.560 --> 0:03:08.919
<v Speaker 1>Out Okay, so we gotta unpack all of this. When

0:03:08.960 --> 0:03:13.800
<v Speaker 1>you have an imbecile, the dimensions of a pete hag set,

0:03:15.240 --> 0:03:22.840
<v Speaker 1>their possibilities for all manner of busterfuckery exceed normal imaginings,

0:03:23.520 --> 0:03:27.640
<v Speaker 1>and their capacity to really roll a grenade and to

0:03:27.760 --> 0:03:33.440
<v Speaker 1>blow stuff up and to do something like this, which

0:03:33.520 --> 0:03:37.920
<v Speaker 1>is like ten different levels stupid, right, really incredible. We

0:03:38.040 --> 0:03:41.640
<v Speaker 1>gotta we gotta unpack it. We gotta unpack it all.

0:03:41.800 --> 0:03:46.880
<v Speaker 1>And happy Thanksgivings, Black Friday, and there's a deal for

0:03:46.960 --> 0:03:51.000
<v Speaker 1>you at the Warning Merge Store. Get your posters, get

0:03:51.000 --> 0:03:54.400
<v Speaker 1>your t shirts, get your hoodies, get your sweatshirts, get

0:03:54.440 --> 0:03:58.200
<v Speaker 1>your coffee mugs, and get it all at a twenty

0:03:58.280 --> 0:04:02.360
<v Speaker 1>percent discount for a limited time only. So let me

0:04:02.720 --> 0:04:07.680
<v Speaker 1>let me start just by saying that I can't help

0:04:07.720 --> 0:04:12.840
<v Speaker 1>but notice the similarities to the script of any given

0:04:13.440 --> 0:04:19.400
<v Speaker 1>Hogan's Heroes episode where the Stapo officer appears right with

0:04:19.560 --> 0:04:24.000
<v Speaker 1>Colonel Klank Schultz is always there, who knows nothing, and

0:04:24.040 --> 0:04:26.719
<v Speaker 1>there's always a we will caught most you, we will

0:04:26.760 --> 0:04:30.159
<v Speaker 1>send you to the Eastern Front. Right. So it's so

0:04:30.200 --> 0:04:33.520
<v Speaker 1>it's this is really like a caricature. We have this

0:04:33.880 --> 0:04:41.040
<v Speaker 1>paranoid freak show three times married, accused of all manner

0:04:41.160 --> 0:04:45.760
<v Speaker 1>of abuses, jumping onto a table drawn kill all the

0:04:45.960 --> 0:04:53.080
<v Speaker 1>Muslims for stoons with Christian nationalist tattoos. This guy derided

0:04:53.200 --> 0:04:56.599
<v Speaker 1>as you know, the major as you pointed out, by

0:04:56.680 --> 0:05:00.440
<v Speaker 1>the right, by the by the brass, this guy I

0:05:00.520 --> 0:05:03.880
<v Speaker 1>is doing the Hogan's heroes. Here. I will court martial

0:05:03.960 --> 0:05:11.400
<v Speaker 1>you right, whole thing. Here's the problem. So we have

0:05:11.440 --> 0:05:17.560
<v Speaker 1>a constitution. Constitution establishes an article one, Article two, Article three,

0:05:17.600 --> 0:05:23.320
<v Speaker 1>branch of government. All these branches are coequal. The Secretary

0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:26.000
<v Speaker 1>of Defense, and that's the title. And I just want

0:05:26.040 --> 0:05:32.720
<v Speaker 1>to say to everybody in case I die tonight, one

0:05:32.760 --> 0:05:36.080
<v Speaker 1>of the things that I want you to remember about

0:05:36.080 --> 0:05:42.520
<v Speaker 1>me is how crazy it drives me the notion that

0:05:42.800 --> 0:05:46.320
<v Speaker 1>the media in this country calls Apafoon the secretary of War.

0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:50.000
<v Speaker 1>We have no secretary of war. There is no Department

0:05:50.040 --> 0:05:54.839
<v Speaker 1>of War. In nineteen forty seven, the United States military,

0:05:54.960 --> 0:05:58.800
<v Speaker 1>which stood men under arms at about sixteen million fair

0:05:58.880 --> 0:06:03.120
<v Speaker 1>number of women, had risen in seven years time to

0:06:03.160 --> 0:06:05.920
<v Speaker 1>be the most potent military in the history of the world,

0:06:05.960 --> 0:06:09.159
<v Speaker 1>from the thirty eighth largest forces. It was reorganized in

0:06:09.240 --> 0:06:15.560
<v Speaker 1>nineteen forty seven is it was desegregated, and the National

0:06:15.560 --> 0:06:22.240
<v Speaker 1>Military Establishment, the NME under statute came known as the

0:06:22.279 --> 0:06:28.279
<v Speaker 1>Department of Defense. And so help me God, if I

0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:32.719
<v Speaker 1>had a position of responsibility in the next presidential administration,

0:06:34.279 --> 0:06:36.479
<v Speaker 1>one of the things that I would be an advocate

0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:41.640
<v Speaker 1>for is the sign that hung on the Pentagon for

0:06:41.680 --> 0:06:45.160
<v Speaker 1>seventy years has said that iconic sign Department of Defense

0:06:45.680 --> 0:06:52.200
<v Speaker 1>from the date of the dedication of the building, which

0:06:52.240 --> 0:06:56.960
<v Speaker 1>most people don't remember, but it was September eleventh, nineteen

0:06:57.080 --> 0:07:00.320
<v Speaker 1>forty one. It was on September eleventh that that was

0:07:00.360 --> 0:07:04.359
<v Speaker 1>what was pride off with HEG SAS's new signs screwed

0:07:04.400 --> 0:07:07.359
<v Speaker 1>in Department of War. I have a better idea, so

0:07:07.440 --> 0:07:10.080
<v Speaker 1>we'll pry that sign off, and what I think is

0:07:10.120 --> 0:07:15.080
<v Speaker 1>it should just lay there then shipped right Barren desecrated

0:07:15.120 --> 0:07:20.920
<v Speaker 1>for the next seventy years to remind every officer, every NCO,

0:07:21.520 --> 0:07:25.880
<v Speaker 1>and every civilian with responsibility for America's fighting men and

0:07:25.920 --> 0:07:29.560
<v Speaker 1>women about the season that that place was held hostage

0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:33.400
<v Speaker 1>by a dipshit and scumbag as big as Pete Hegg

0:07:33.480 --> 0:07:37.120
<v Speaker 1>sat right. So that's that's my view on that. But

0:07:37.200 --> 0:07:40.720
<v Speaker 1>at any rate, it's a very important concept in the

0:07:40.720 --> 0:07:44.360
<v Speaker 1>American government that I'm about to articulate again. We have

0:07:44.440 --> 0:07:56.480
<v Speaker 1>the coequality of the branches. Pete Heggsath has no zero

0:07:57.760 --> 0:08:04.760
<v Speaker 1>jurisdiction whatsoever to investigate the speech of a United States Senator.

0:08:06.120 --> 0:08:13.760
<v Speaker 1>The United States Senator, however, has absolute jurisdiction to investigate

0:08:14.640 --> 0:08:21.680
<v Speaker 1>the conduct of a lawless Secretary of Defense. Let me

0:08:21.760 --> 0:08:28.960
<v Speaker 1>say that again. He Headset has no jurisdiction, but Mark

0:08:29.040 --> 0:08:33.320
<v Speaker 1>Kelly and his colleagues do. And I want to say

0:08:33.400 --> 0:08:40.320
<v Speaker 1>something regarding the coming Democratic majority. There can be no

0:08:40.480 --> 0:08:48.640
<v Speaker 1>emptiness in the victory. I want explicit campaign promises made

0:08:48.920 --> 0:08:56.600
<v Speaker 1>in writing in plain English that are rock solid. I

0:08:56.760 --> 0:09:06.280
<v Speaker 1>want the lawless cabinet impeached. One Pete Hegseth impeached, Want

0:09:06.320 --> 0:09:13.160
<v Speaker 1>Christy Noman impeached, Wan Cash Bettel impeached, while Robert Kennedy impeached,

0:09:15.040 --> 0:09:18.960
<v Speaker 1>and then they can stand trial in the Senate. All

0:09:19.000 --> 0:09:23.760
<v Speaker 1>of them deserve impeachment. And there must be accountability and

0:09:23.880 --> 0:09:29.600
<v Speaker 1>investigation of the lawlessness of the illegal orders. I'm Steve Schmidt.

0:09:29.720 --> 0:09:33.000
<v Speaker 1>This is the warning. I invite you to join this community,

0:09:33.160 --> 0:09:37.360

0:09:37.360 --> 0:09:41.040
<v Speaker 1>what is happening in this country. America is in crisis.
