At a fiery address in Quantico, Donald Trump threatened to fire senior U.S. military leaders who disagreed with him, warning they’d face demotion if they left the room. Joined by Fox News host Pete Hegseth, Trump mocked Pentagon leadership as “weak” and “woke,” vowing stricter grooming and fitness standards. He stirred further outrage by referring to nuclear weapons as the “N-word” and suggesting U.S. cities be used as military training grounds. The remarks drew silence from commanders, reflecting unease and division.

00:00We're bringing back a focus on fitness, ability, character, and strength, and that's because the purposes of the American military is not to protect anyone's feelings.
00:11I've never walked into a room so silent before. This is very... Oh, don't laugh, don't laugh, you're not allowed to do that.
00:17Thank you very much, Pete. Great job you're doing, too. Fantastic job.
00:22I've never walked into a room so silent before. This is very... Oh, don't laugh, don't laugh, you're not allowed to do that.
00:28You know what? Just have a good time. And if you want to applaud, you applaud.
00:33And if you want to do anything you want, you can do anything you want.
00:36And if you don't like what I'm saying, you can leave the room. Of course, there goes your rank, there goes your future.
00:44But you just feel nice and loose, okay, because we're all on the same team.
00:49And I was told that, sir, you won't hear a murmur in the room.
00:55I said, we got to loosen these guys up a little bit.
00:57So you just have a good time, but...
01:00We'll throw around that word.
01:04I call it the N-word.
01:06There are two N-words, and you can't use either of them.
01:11You can't use either of them.
01:13And, frankly,
01:15If it does get to use, we have more than anybody else.
01:20We have better, we have newer.
01:24But it's something we don't ever want to even have to think about.
01:26This, and I want to be very clear about this.
01:29This is not about preventing women from serving.
01:32We very much value the impact of female troops.
01:37Our female officers and NCOs are the absolute best in the world.
01:41But when it comes to any job that requires physical power to perform in combat,
01:48those physical standards must be high and gender neutral.
01:52If women can make it, excellent.
01:55If not, it is what it is.
01:58If that means no women qualify for some combat jobs, so be it.
02:02That is not the intent, but it could be the result.
02:06So be it.
02:06It will also mean that weak men won't qualify,
02:11because we're not playing games.
02:13This is combat.
02:14This is life or death.
02:16As we all know, this is you versus an enemy hell-bent on killing you.
02:21To be an effective, lethal fighting force,
02:24you must trust that the warrior alongside you in battle is capable,
02:30truly physically capable of doing what is necessary under fire.
02:33You know this is the only standard you would want for your kids and for your grandkids.
02:41Apply the War Department golden rule, the 1990 test, and the E6 test,
02:46and it's really hard to go wrong.
02:48We're bringing back a focus on fitness, ability, character, and strength,
02:52and it's because the purposes of the American military is not to protect anyone's feelings.
02:58It's to protect our republic, and it's the republic that we dearly love.
03:04It's to protect our country.
03:06We will not be politically correct when it comes to defending American freedom,
03:12and we will be a fighting and winning machine.
03:15We want to fight.
03:15We want to win.
03:17And we want to fight as little as possible.
03:18You have to count on people like me to keep you out of wars.
03:21We were a little bit threatened by Russia recently,
03:27and I sent a submarine, nuclear submarine,
03:32the most lethal weapon ever made.
03:36Number one, you can't detect it.
03:38There's no way.
03:39We're 25 years ahead of Russia and China in submarines.
03:43Russia's actually second in submarines.
03:46China's third, but, you know, they're coming up.
03:49They're coming up.
03:50They're way lower in nuclear, too, but in five years, they'll be equal.
03:53They're coming.
03:54Ones that are run by the radical left Democrats,
03:56what they've done to San Francisco, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles,
04:03they're very unsafe places, and we're going to straighten them out one by one.
04:07And this is going to be a major part for some of the people in this room.
04:10That's a war, too.
04:11It's a war from within.
04:13Controlling the physical territory of our border is essential to national security.
04:20I've never walked into a room so silent before.
04:44This is very...
04:46Don't laugh.
04:47Don't laugh.
04:47You're not allowed to do that.
04:49You know what?
04:49Just have a good time.
04:51And if you want to applaud, you applaud.
04:53And if you want to do anything you want, you can do anything you want.
04:56And if you don't like what I'm saying, you can leave the room.
04:59Of course, there goes your rank.
05:00There goes your future.
05:01But you just feel nice and loose, okay, because we're all on the same team.
05:08And I was told that, sir, you won't hear a murmur in the room.
05:14I said, we've got to loosen these guys up a little bit.
