Turns out that what Pentagon Pete means when he says he “stands behind our troops”

Added: 2026-05-16

[00:00:00]Oh, Pete Hegsth is terrified, y'all. And just a few minutes ago, he and Daddy Dawn started the very public and very blatant process of throwing the service members who carried out the boat strikes under the bus. So, let's watch. First, Pete miraculously suddenly remembers that he wasn't even around to watch the entire strike because he's just a widow guy and he's very busy. You see, >> I watched that first strike live. As you can imagine, at the Department of War, we got a lot of things to do. So I didn't stick around for the hour and two hours, whatever, where all the sensitive site exploitation digitally occurs. So I moved on to my next meeting.

[00:00:36]>> Then he wants you to know things were just too hazy for him to see whether there were any survivors. It's the it's the fog of war. You know, >> I did not personally see survivors, but I stand cuz that thing was on fire. It was exploded and fire and smoke. You can't see anything. You got digital there. This is called the fog of war.

[00:00:54]And finally, he suddenly develops a very specific form of amnesia and is suddenly unable to recall how much time passed between the first and second strikes in question.

[00:01:04]>> And Mr. Secretary, on the second strike, you said it happened more than an hour after the first. Did I hear correct?

[00:01:10]>> The exact amount of time.

[00:01:12]>> I already stated my answer quite clearly. But hilariously, at the same time that Pete was trying to throw his subordinate officers under the bus, Daddy Dawn was likewise busy pushing Pete right back in front of those very same wheels.

[00:01:25]>> As far as the attack is concerned, I didn't, you know, I still haven't gotten a lot of information because I rely on Pete. Somebody asked me a question about the second strike. I didn't know about the second strike. I didn't know anything about people I wasn't involved in.

[00:01:38]>> They are their pants in terror over this, y'all. They know someone is going down for this. So, if Admiral Bradley and any other service members involved know what's good for them, they better start singing like canaries. The clock is ticking, boys, and you've got about 15 seconds before it's your head on the chopping block instead.
