00:00But if I may. Sure. Yeah. I didn't get a chance. I didn't see a question in the statement from
00:04the congressman. I hope you appreciate how reckless it is. When I said reckless, feckless, and defeatist of congressional Democrats
00:12at the beginning, that came after watching you say the same thing on CNN this morning, a quagmire. My generation
00:20served in a quagmire in Iraq and Afghanistan years.
00:22This thing is something bigger. Years of nebulous missions and utopian nation building that led us to nothing. What we
00:32have right now, the way you stain the troops, when you tell them two months in, two months in, congressman,
00:45you should know better. Shame on you. Oh, wow. Calling this a quagmire two months in.
00:50He said, shame on you. Damn, buddy. The effort, what they've undertaken, what they've succeeded, the success on the battlefield
00:56that could create strategic opportunities, the courage of a president to confront a nuclear Iran, and you call it a
01:01quagmire, handing propaganda to our enemies? Shame on you for that statement. And statements like that are reckless to our
01:07troops. Don't say I support the troops on one hand, and then a two-month mission is a quagmire.
01:12Dude, Navy commander confronts hexes over Iran disaster, and that's how he replied to him.
01:18That's a false equivocation. Who are you cheering for here? Who are you pulling for? Our troops are doing incredible
01:24work. They've done incredible things for the entirety of this mission.
01:28Okay. And achieved incredible battlefield successes. And you sit there and go on TV for your clickbait about quagmires. It
01:36undermines the mission. Your hatred for President Trump.
01:39Damn, buddy. Everybody knows about these things, and he's just confronting the ass.
01:46Blinds you to the truth of the success of this mission and the historic stakes that the president is addressing,
01:52which the American people support. Iran's been at war with us for 47 years.
01:57You want to talk about a forever war?
01:58Oh.
01:58For two months, this president has stared them down. He's going to get a better deal than anyone ever has.
02:03Dude, oh, oh, oh, oh, what is happening, bro?
02:06I'm sure that Iran never had a nuclear weapon. I know the American people support that mission, despite your loose
02:12talk and words like quagmire.
02:17And it'll knock out a lot.
02:18Let us watch this video, and then I'm going to talk about it.
02:22A lot of stuff. We don't knock out nothing. We knock out a lot. Pete, you want to tell them
02:27about last night?
02:28Yes, sir. Last night, as you said, a lot of small craft that they were trying to harass shipping with.
02:34So that was a big part of what we targeted. Underground facilities where they were storing drones or missiles, coastal
02:39defense sites, radar sites, surveillance sites, anything used to harass shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.
02:46That's what we all are doing on. This video from July 8th, 2026, two days back.
02:52They thought they had rebuilt their capability. They were using was a target last night.
02:58And tonight, if we need to, on your order, Mr. President, we will hit even more and even deeper, because
03:03that's the consequence.
03:04And we may put down the blockade. We may put it back, the blockade.
03:09And it'll only be a blockade for Iran. Anybody else can have whatever they want.
03:14Of course, they'll drop some mines if they can.
03:17This is the biggest ever war I've seen on America doing in this generation, of course.
03:24They can do it, but it's hard because we're taking out those little boats now with the same weapon we
03:29use to take out the drug lords and the boats coming in.
03:34Hello, Bobby Jones here for Midas Touch and Valor Media Networks.
03:39Well, we're back at it again.
03:41The United States and Iran are trading military strikes in the Persian Gulf region.
03:47Yes, this is what's happening right now.
03:49They're really trading the military all over that Persian Gulf.
03:54Getting Iran will continue.
03:57I mean, they want to end it, but it's continuing right now.
04:00Enduring the Memorandum of Understanding signed, ironically, at Versailles and Void.
04:06Now, despite what everybody is saying, despite what is recently happening, President Trump has been put in a cycle that
04:15he can't get out of.
04:17One of the main reasons he's there is because of his secretary of defense, Pete Hegseth.
04:23Hegseth, from all reports, egged the president to accept Benjamin Netanyahu's assessment of the situation and said we should attack
04:32Iran.
04:33This is what happened at that time, at the start of the war, Pete Hegseth said we should, this one,
04:42we should do to start the war.
04:45Yes.
04:45Now, mind you, this whole thing is President Trump's fault.
04:50But even President Trump, in recent interviews, basically laid the blame at Hegseth's feet.
04:57Now, all of this being said, I think there are four reasons why Pete Hegseth as secretary of defense should
05:04be fired immediately.
05:06Now, before I get into that, let's take you back to February 28th.
05:10Watch this video.
05:12What happened at that time?
05:14You see it in a 12-hour period, the United States had 900-plus strikes on Iran.
05:21This is after Operation Midnight Hammer, which Hegseth bagged about till there was no end, saying that Midnight Hammer, with
05:31the stealth bombers used, obliterated Iran's nuclear program.
05:42But on February 28th, we saw that was not the case.
05:48Yes.
05:49And this leads to the first reason I think he should be fired.
05:53Number one, before he did anything militarily, he fired two groups of people.
06:00He fired the Civilian Harm Oversight Committee that was at the Pentagon, whose sole purpose was to oversee targets and
06:08make sure that civilian casualties were kept at a minimum.
06:12That's what they have planned was.
06:14But the outcome we have right now is not what we really get.
06:20The outcome is the first ever.
06:21And then he also fired the heads of the Judge Advocate General Corps, the JAG Corps of both the Army
06:29and the Navy and including the Air Force, meaning the top lawyers were removed before any military strikes happened.
06:36Why did he do that?
06:37Because those lawyers are responsible for saying what's an ethical strike using rules of engagement and use of force and
06:44what's not.
06:45And he did not want his service members, as he put it, to be handcuffed by stupid rules of engagement.
06:54Well, those rules of engagement and the lack thereof led to the second reason he should be fired.
07:01Yes, the second reason that we're talking about right now is also have some kind of importance into that.
07:09And that's why we have doing all this thing and understand the second reason here.
07:14Be fired.
07:15And that is the Manab school strike.
07:18The all-girls school that was hit within the first 24 to 48 hours of this conflict killed over 150
07:25people, most of them school-age girls.
07:29Yes.
07:29When asked about this that next week, Hegseth basically said it was an unfortunate situation and is still under investigation.
07:37I mean, they know what was there.
07:40There was a school and a girls' school.
07:43They absolutely did.
07:45Oh, my.
07:45Under investigation for over 80 days.
07:48Where's the report?
07:49No one's been held accountable.
07:51He has not readdressed the issue.
07:53While you still have families mourning, families that had nothing to do with Iran, the United States, whatever, just families
08:00that sent their girls to school.
08:01Yes.
08:02The fact that there is no accountability, the fact that there has been no investigation report released to the United
08:07States Congress or the American press or the American people says everything you need to know about Hegseth.
08:13Right then, no integrity shown on the international stage.
08:17Yes, we really demand for that because that people whose daughters on that school died that day, they are not
08:26into biasing of Iran versus America or they just sent their daughters to school to read and study.
08:34And what really happened after that is a total mess and they are mourning till now because go on and
08:40have coming back.
08:41But if that's not enough for you, reason number three, he finally goes in front of Congress.
08:47And what is the first thing you do?
08:48He lies.
08:49He lies about how these nuclear facilities were obliterated, even though Midnight Fury or Midnight Hammer happened.
08:57Nothing.
08:57No, no obliteration there.
08:59Now we're dealing with Epic Fury.
09:00Yes.
09:01No obliteration there.
09:02We're still dealing with the same lies saying everything's been obliterated.
09:06But yet the nuclear facility, the nuclear material has not been secured and Iran is consistently still striking United States
09:15allies and shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.
09:17But of course, they've been obliterated.
09:19So like Representative Adam Smith asks, if they're obliterated, why is the war still going on?
09:25Yes, this is the main reason we never understand the thing like, how is this happening?
09:31If they are obliterated by that, how's the war still going on?
09:36I don't know anything about that.
09:39Oh, my boy.
09:40Seems like a very valid question.
09:42The Washington Post, The New York Times and other credible organizations have already said that whatever he said in Congress
09:49as far as how this war is going is a complete boldface lie.
09:53But don't take my word for it.
09:55Take the word of service members.
09:57That leads me to the fourth point of why he should be fired.
10:00Yes, yes.
10:01Okay.
10:02After these strikes started and American bases got hit, over 17 of them getting hit.
10:09In the Middle East, yeah.
10:11Iran hits the bases in the Middle East of America.
10:13He lied about the casualty reports.
10:15He basically said, hey, not many casualties.
10:18Yes, we have the 13 that were killed.
10:20But other than that, pretty much low and everybody's return to duty.
10:23Yep.
10:24That's not the case, according to the military families and the actual service members themselves.
10:29Things that have been passed off as concussions were actually shrapnel wounds.
10:33You have families who are worried that their service member will not get the care that they deserve because everything
10:40has been downgraded.
10:41That's what they're doing.
10:43That's what they're doing.
10:44That's what they're doing, man.
11:11They're actually injured.
11:12So their care is going to suffer.
11:15This is the ultimate betrayal because Pete Hexeth put them in harm's way by egging the president on to do
11:22this and then not providing proper protection for them when necessary.
11:28I mean, we saw it on the Gerald R. Ford, everything bombed out and people sleeping on floors and stuff.
11:34Yeah, we saw that.
11:36Let me tell you my experience.
11:37When I saw that for the very first time, I got so emotional watching that thing.
11:42I got so emotional watching that.
11:43It's unbelievable the state of the force as they are scrambled all over the region, but yet Iran's military has
11:52been obliterated.
11:54I don't know how else to frame this.
11:56He has zero credibility.
11:58He has zero credibility on the international stage.
12:00He has zero credibility domestically.
12:02But most importantly, he has zero credibility with the own service members he's supposed to be leading.
12:10And now, as the war re-escalates, as everything picks back up, we're seeing service members in various social media
12:19posts saying, what are we doing?
12:21Why?
12:21They really wanted that leader, their leader, the top hierarchy person, should be on their side.
12:30And right now, what's happening is not good.
12:33Are we doing this?
12:34They can't even go into their offices.
12:36Why?
12:36Because their bases have been bombed out anyway.
12:38But it doesn't seem to matter because Hegseth is going to quote something from a 1980s action film, go out
12:44there with a slick back hair and tell you everything is okay.
12:49I can't stress to you enough how hard it is to try to have integrity when everybody knows you're lying.
12:56But most importantly, when you're putting people's lives in danger.
13:01That's when you have the gratitude, that's when you have to support them, that's when you have to give them
13:08everything they want.
13:10To not make them feel that they're doing it for the sake of money.
13:15No, bro.
13:15They're not doing it for the sake of money.
13:17They're doing it for their patriotism, for the country they live in.
13:40True, true bro, this is very true.
13:43True, true bro.
