00:00Do you believe that the president is mentally stable enough to be the
00:03commander-in-chief? Did you ask the same question of Joe Biden for four years? Mr.
00:09Secretary, Joe Biden is not the president. Mr. Trump has been president for a year
00:13and a half and I'm asking you right now. You did not and I won't even engage with the
00:16level of disparagement that you're putting on the commander-in-chief. We
00:19have never seen a secretary at the Department of War who has been as
00:23innovative as you have so I can't say enough good things about you right now.
00:28Secretary Hex have those soldiers told the truth. Those soldiers are braver
00:34than you are. They are asking for accountability. They deserve
00:38accountability and I'm asking for the same starting with you and as I said a year
00:43ago you need to resign immediately. I don't believe in my lifetime I've witnessed this
00:49level of rebirth and and hardcore focus that I'm witnessing out of the
00:58Pentagon right now and I just commend you for driving that and please know that
01:06you have a great deal of support not just in this body and on this committee but
01:11across the country. Mr. Hexeth can I ask you do you know what what the average cost
01:17of a gallon of gas was in this country on on February 28th? Well it depends on where
01:23you live if you live in California it's eight bucks. $2.83. Do you know what the
01:27average cost of a gallon of gas is today? Much higher in California. $4.23. I got
01:34to say Mr. Hexeth you said you've got a crack economic team that's looking at the
01:39impacts of this war on the American taxpayer and you can answer this basic
01:43question that should shock the conscience of every American.
01:53moral reference to the record beginning to get to the audience.
01:54I think you've got a lot of confidence in your audience with the audience but
01:55also wants to add guys about that or two or three or three or maybe one or three
01:56So a lot of confidence inığım yes it's step one of the свободnan
01:56the fact that we want to but don't want toidez to have to do the action
01:58That's a lot of confidence.
