Pete Hegseth:

The military has been forced by foolish and reckless politicians to focus on wrong things.

This speech is about fixing decades of decay, some obvious, some hidden.

As the Chairman put it: clearing out debris, removing distractions.

Sudan: UAE-backed RSF militants today attacked a district in El Fasher.

Pete Hegseth:

We lost our way. We became the "woke department." But not anymore.

Right now, I’m looking at Americans who made a choice.

Pete Hegseth:

No dudes in dresses. No more climate change worship, no more gender delusions.

We are done with that shit.

Pete Hegseth:

Would you want your child serving with fat or under trained troops?

Or alongside people who can’t meet basic standards?

Pete Hegseth to US Army generals:

The era of politically correctness ends right now, either you meet the standards or you are out!

Pete Hegseth:

If the "Secretary of War" can do regular hard PT, so can every member of our Joint Force.

BREAKING: Trump:

Hamas has 3–4 days to respond.

If Hamas rejects deal, Israel will do what it has to do.

Pete Hegseth:

It’s unacceptable to see fat generals and admirals in the Pentagon.

You need to meet the height and weight standards and pass your PT test.

No more beards or long hair.

Pete Hegseth:

If you want a beard you can join special forces, if not then shave.

We don't have a military full of Nordic Pagans.

Pete Hegseth:

People make honest mistakes, our mistakes should not define an entire career.

Pete Hegseth on Biden's DoD:

They were told females and males are the same. Or that males who think they’re females are normal.

They were told we need a green fleet and electric tanks.

They were told to kick out Americans who refused an emergency vaccine.

Pete Hegseth to top US Generals:

If the words I’m speaking today are making your heart sink, then you should do the honorable thing and resign.

Pete Hegseth to top US Generals:

We need you "locked in" on the "M." Not the D, or DEI or DIE.

I mean the "M." The military.

Pete Hegseth:

We are drastically reducing mandatory training, giving you back real time.

Less PowerPoint, fewer online courses, more time in the motor pool and on the range.

Our job is to make sure you have the money, equipment, weapons, and parts to train and maintain.

Pete Hegseth to top US Generals:

Anonymous, online or keyboard complaining is not worthy of a warrior. It is cowardice.

Trump:

I'll be meeting with military leaders today.

If I don’t like them, I will fire them on the spot.

BREAKING: Trump says will go after cartels in Venezuela "by land."

Trump:

We are waiting for Hamas, if Hamas does not do it. It will be a very "sad end."

Trump:

Leadership of Hamas has been killed three different times, they paid a big price.

Trump on US Generals:

If we think they are not our warriors, if they are not good, we will say:

"You are fired, get out."
