00:00Well, a whole bunch of news stories breaking over the weekend showing how completely incompetent Pete Hegseth is the Secretary of Defense.
00:08All his senior officials are in a pissing match.
00:11And then the revelation that he not only took this classified information about the attack on the Hooties and shared it on a Signal Chat with senior officials,
00:21but he actually did it on his private phone with his family.
00:24This guy's got to go. The question is, will all of my Republican colleagues who love to say they support national security,
00:30will any of them raise their voice and say this is a bridge too far? We'll see.
00:36Hey, folks, if I had a nickel for every time Pete Hegseth was sharing operational information on separate signal chains, I'd have two nickels.
00:45And I know that's not a lot, but this is really serious.
00:49It's against the rules in the Department of Defense, which he heads.
00:53And there needs to be an investigation and accountability for this.
00:57We can't have a Secretary of Defense sharing operational information to people he shouldn't.
01:03Ultimately, this Secretary of Defense needs to either resign or be fired.
