This analysis effectively exposes the fragility of military narratives when subjected to rigorous legislative scrutiny and public skepticism. It serves as a blunt but necessary instrument for demystifying the power dynamics behind unchecked defense spending.

Pete Hegseth CRUMBLES & Gets BEAT DOWN In Congressional Hearing!!! | The Kyle Kulinski Show
Added:So the secretary of war crimes, Pete Kegs breath, he sat down in front of a committee in Congress and they absolutely grilled him to the high heavens and they beat his smug makeupwearing ass into the ground, y'all. So first, let's start with this.
Um, he's got some nerve. Listen to what he says during the hearing. Here we go.
>> As I have said before, not fully funding this department, the Department of War.
And we know what that means. That that means 1.5 trillion given the world that we live in and the disaster of what the Biden administration budgets gave us.
Not funding this department at 1.5 trillion, I believe, is the greatest threat that our nation faces.
>> The biggest threat this nation faces is not giving 1.5 trillion to the military-industrial complex where right off the rip they're going to steal 63% of that and fail another [ __ ] audit and take all the money and put it in a slush fund where the Epstein class [ __ ] steals it and the rest of it they're going to use to bomb schools and hospitals. Are you [ __ ] kidding me?
What kind of a sick [ __ ] joke is this?
Shut up and give me 1.5 trill. Are the same people that are cutting Medicaid, cutting the food stamp program, the SNAP program. The same people that are gutting the regulatory state and making it so you're getting violent diarrhea from eating salad. They got no money for all the [ __ ] for you and me, but shut up and give me $1.5 trillion or else you're with the terrorists is what he's saying here. [ __ ] you. [ __ ] you. But we're just getting started. All right, here we go.
Um, now it's Hegathth and Shaheen go back and forth. Let's get it. obviously don't agree with your characterization of that.
>> I appreciate that, but you didn't ask, but I want you to answer my question. I know you don't agree with my characterization. I don't agree with yours either.
>> Well, I one of the reason I I take issue with that characterization is something that Senator Durban said when he talked about Ukraine and he talked about winning. And I appreciate as much as anybody winning a war, but I sit in front of a committee that wants to talk about winning a war that's been going on for four years and talks about strategic defeat of a conflict that's been going on for four month month months to prevent Iran from getting a nuclear bomb. I want I I I would hope for some perspective in this town of the historic nature of what President Trump is undertaking. Do you want radical Islamist?
>> Do you want radical Islamists to have a nuclear bomb? Well, it's quite amazing then that Barack Obama was able to get a deal where they didn't have a bomb and that was proven and that was regulated on a regular basis and the issue was taken off the table and then your [ __ ] fat pedophile war criminal president boss ripped up that agreement and ruined it. Maybe you should have stayed in that [ __ ] deal. You disgusting freak.
>> Historic nature of what President Trump is undertaking. Do you want radical Islamist? I don't want to hear speech because I have limited time. If you can't answer my question, then I will move on to my next question.
>> Yeah, he's never going to answer a direct question because he's a massive [ __ ] piece of [ __ ] And by the way, I love this. Like, oh, it's all about the nuclear weapon. Well, that was one of the what, seven different reasons that he gave for the war, right? That, you know, half the time he's like, "We got to save these protesters who are being killed by Iran. We want to kill them instead of Iran killing them, but we want to save these protesters. That's what we're going to do." Actually, Iran was threatening us. They were going to attack us. Oh, actually no. It's about a nuclear weapon. It's about a nuclear bomb. Oh my days, bro. Oh my days. All right, more. Here we go. Now we get Osaf does a number on him, man. And Hegth is He crashes out. He panics. And Osaf delivers a master class here. Here we go.
>> You're requesting roughly $68 billion for the department through the supplemental. Correct.
>> 67. Yes.
And yesterday, your department stated publicly, quote, "US forces struck Iranian military command centers, maritime capabilities, missile and drone launch sites, and air defense systems to degrade Iran's ability to continue attacking commercial vessels." That was a press release from your department. Is that broadly accurate characterization of ongoing operations?
>> That sounds broadly accurate. Yes.
>> On day 14 of this conflict, Mr. Secretary, day 14, nearly 5 months ago, you stated that Iran's military had been quote destroyed and quote made combat ineffective. That was on day 14 of the war. Was that an accurate statement?
>> Um, they didn't have a navy any longer.
It was completely sunk. Uh, their missiles were buried underneath a lot of their underground facilities and their defense industrial base has been almost completely destroyed. So, as far as a military assessment of Iran's capabilities, it doesn't didn't mean by any stretch of the imagination absolute zero. But there came you stated on day 14 of this conflict in the second week of the conflict you stated that Iran's military had been quote destroyed and quote made combat ineffective. Was that an accurate statement? Yes or no?
>> Iran's ability to challenge the United States of America at the level at which we're capable of.
>> That's not what I asked you, Mr. Secretary. You said >> here comes He can't help it. He's got a [ __ ] [ __ ] [ __ ] because Assaf's got him [ __ ] checkmated. HE'S GOT YOU CHECKMATED like two minutes into this, dog. He's got you checkmated two minutes into it. This is like world record level checkmating. Okay, this is like prime Mike Tyson in the ring with a kindergarter. This is embarrassing. And again, well, actually what I meant when I said that, what happened was me and Craig and was done by the Safeway and then what when when that when I talk about the military, what I mean by the military is not actually the whole military like oh my days. Jesus, this is humiliating.
>> That Iran's military had been quote destroyed and quote made combat ineffective. Was that an accurate statement? Yes or no? Iran's ability to challenge the United States of America at the level at which we're capable of.
>> That's not what I asked you, Mr. Secretary. You said on day 14 Iran's military had been quote destroyed and quote made combat ineffective. Yes or no? Was that an accurate statement?
>> What the American military has the Iranian military is a historic military effective in that context.
>> 3 weeks later you declared victory. That was now nearly four months ago.
Three weeks after you'd already said Iran's military was destroyed and combat ineffective. You said quote operation Epic Fury was a historic and overwhelming victory. You said Iran's military had been rendered quote combat ineffective for years to come. And you stated we had quote achieved every single objective. Were those accurate statements?
>> Uh it certainly was on behalf of the men and women in uniform a historic military victory over >> he's doing the like hide BEHIND THE TROOPS. HIDE BEHIND the troops. If you disagree with me, you actually hate the troops. Senator John Oaf. How dare you?
These guy, they're such babies.
Postmodern conservatism might be the dumbest movement in human history because I would expect the Nazis, they're the horrific terrorists and war criminals and did every horrible thing under the sun. They also were logically consistent and didn't live in a [ __ ] delusional fantasy world of their own making where you say one thing the next day, the opposite the next day, one thing the next day, the opposite the next day. No, they were actually consistent with the whole [ __ ] This is like we're going to do all the the violence and the terrorism and the war crimes, but mix in with it conservative postmodernism, which is just, you know, you you come up with your own narrative and run with it as if that's the truth and then change your mind the next day and that's fine because you're allowed to change your mind and flip-flop on basic facts and it's okay. What are we supposed to do with this?
>> Iran, >> had Iran's military been rendered quote combat ineffective for years to come?
That was that you made a 160 naval vessels question Mr. Their air force is completely combat in effective and they don't have defense industrial base. So describe to me a country that doesn't have an air force, a navy or a defense industrial base. And I will describe to you a company that country that does not have an effective secretary. You can lob missiles.
>> Mr. Secretary, you stated four months ago that Iran's military had been rendered quote combat ineffective for years to come. Has Iran's military been for the last four months combat ineffective?
>> It's been set back not just years but likely decades.
At the level it did before and not even doesn't mean it doesn't have capabilities. And and let me just say this is literally at the same time that they're absolutely draxing them scouned right now. They just bombed a massive radar hub of ours. They lit up a whole bunch of our bases. We now have what 18 people killed on our side of it. Um they're they're being they're successfully fighting back here and we're running out of munitions and Trump is panicking. And so everything he said the opposite is true in every way. Like they are their intelligence is way better than we thought it was. They have way more weapons than we thought they did. Uh they're they are acting more rationally than we thought they would.
Like all of that stuff put together.
Like they've they've been surgical with it. And as I told you the other day, the Iranians were preparing for this when Donald Trump was sneaking into Miss Teen USA dressing rooms and looking at the naked girls. The Iranians were preparing for this when Donald Trump was kicking out black people from his apartment buildings, getting sued by the feds over it. The Iranians were preparing for this when Donald Trump was saying you're fired to [ __ ] carrot top or whoever the [ __ ] on his shitty show, The Apprentice.
>> Secretary, you stated we had quote achieved every single objective. Was that an accurate statement four months ago?
>> The main objective of this was to ensure that Iran never gets a nuclear weapon.
Their main sites were obliterated. We're watching over them and we're holding that issue. If they don't give them up at the table, there's other ways we can take the secretary. Early in the conflict, day three, you said one of those core objectives was to quote destroy the missile threat. and as you restated on day five to quote obliterate Iran's missiles and drones. Those were clearly and repeatedly stated core objectives of the campaign which four months ago you declared had been completed victoriously with every single objective achieved.
Were those objectives achieved four months ago?
>> No one ever stated that every single missile was gone. Ultimately combat ineffective means they're not able to dig them out of their UFS and shoot. It doesn't mean they don't have underground facilities where they put missiles in them and hold on to them because they're the the world's largest state sponsor of terrorism. So we never expected they would stop having capabilities to shoot.
The question is at scale against a opponent like the United States of America which went toe-to-toe with them and Iran couldn't handle.
>> You stated on March 8th, day nine of the war on 60 minutes you assured the American people of Iranian surrender.
Does that remain your prediction?
>> Ultimately Iran will never have a nuclear weapon to threaten the United States [laughter] of America. That has been the objective and it remains so.
>> They're literally too stupid to mock.
Have you noticed that? because they don't even recognize their own contradictions, their own hypocrisy, their own flip-flops. It's like, you know, it's like dealing with a child.
So, just to review, you will not answer whether your statement made on the 14th day of the war that Iran's military had been quote destroyed and made combat ineffective was a truthful statement to the American people as you sit here and ask for tens of billions more for the >> senator's time has a historic and effective military campaign against the largest state sponsor of terrorist senator is recognized. I just I just love how he like keg's breath thinks he nailed it. That's just that's just too great. Okay. All right. Here we go. We got some more. Let's keep getting it.
This is Reed >> completely aware that the straight of Hamus could be closed and obviously sinking their ships has not affected their ability to effectively close this race. Did you >> We had US boats that surrendered to Iranian ships under the Biden administration. Uh so their navy was affected in >> We're talking about a war you started not a situation in which oil was flowing freely. There was no conflict. we weren't losing personnel as a result of Iranian actions. So uh your fall back to the Biden administration is just a very very u obvious uh excuse for what I think is probably as you described so often gross negligence. You did not fully inform the president that you would be in a situation where the trader moves could be effectively closed. Oil prices could surge and effectively the Iranians could maintain their ability to strike back as they are right now. They just killed some of my servicemen last weekend. Um, >> this this battlefield and all the dynamics of it of which the chairman and I are responsible for ensuring the president understands every branch and sequel of what could happen and we did.
The fact that those contingencies all were part of the possibility and we understood that is all the more reason why President Trump deserves the kind of praise he should get for undertaking this effort having the courage to ensure that crazy Islamists can't have a nuclear weapon to hold us at issue and he's been willing to stay that regardless of the challenges.
>> Excuse me. So he should be praised. He should be praised for starting a war without authority, creating a situation in which the world economy is suffering tremendously. We have to have extra money for our farmers and we have no outcome uh at least no real realistic outcome in sight yet. Let me >> How about this one? Kirstston Gillibrand. She goes after him as well.
Let's look.
>> Unpopular and unauthorized war abroad is a higher priority to this administration than their ability to feed their families and provide health care to their loved ones who are sick.
Well, Senator, you're talking about political trade-offs and our job is to to to deliver for the United States military and the president of the United States. And we we look at the cost of a nuclear Iran and we want to prevent that for future generations and that requires funding and supplementals and this budget and next generation capabilities and that's why we're here today to request some of that to ensure we can ensure that Iran never gets a nuclear.
>> So, by the way, just so you know, Trump said this thing would be over in two weeks and it will cost like what a couple billion dollars, $10 billion maybe. Uh, now they want 350 billion just for the war on top of 1.5 trillion for the entire budget. Disgusting. At the same time, they're cutting every single program that helps you.
>> Essentially saying you're asking for literally $1.5 trillion for a war that President Trump said he already won.
You're asking for $1.5 trillion, unlimited money for bombs, but insufficient money in the American for the American people for their healthcare, their food, their housing, and our farmers.
Secretary Rollins who we have cut SNAP program. We are not funding the losses from uh emergencies that have happened in blue states particularly.
That's not true.
>> False. You're not funding it. But back to you, Secretary Hseth.
>> And I would like to respond to the fertilizer in your chance.
>> Secretary HGth.
>> There's no reason.
>> You are you are asking for unlimited money for bombs when people can't feed their families. And I don't know how this administration intends to defend those decisions to the American people.
And then finally, let me give you this here. CNN split splitscreen comparison of what heath was saying months ago on the Iran war and what he said today.
Listen to this.
>> Epic fury decimated Iran's military and rendered it combat ineffective for years to come. Iran's navy is at the bottom of the sea.
>> They would try to impose their will on the on the waterways in ways that uh that the world would not like. Call it a toll, call it a fee, call it an exchange, call it control. They would do something that they would try to hold it at issue. Then you've got shrinking American munition stockpiles. Last month, HEXF was dismissing concerns and it was even an issue. Today, it was a reason the military needs an urgent cash infusion.
>> There is a crisis with those stock piles right now in private industry. That is a [clears throat] manufacturing story that the media wants and ultimately we are our stockpiles are are great and they only get stronger. We face critical shortfalls that threaten our ability to also simply pay our service members, rapidly replenish equipment and munitions and sustain vital operations without disruption.
>> But there is one question where Hexath never seems to waver and it's this one.
Who's to blame for all of this?
>> The disaster of what the Biden administration budgets gave us was not a priority to fund the Department of Defense under under Joe Biden and neglected the Biden administration. I mean, the Bid administration ignored hypersonics. I I don't know what Lloyd Austin did for four years. Again, that goes back to the B administration of divest to invest.
>> Familiar names, titles missing over and over, but not the one currently in the Oval Office who decided to engage in this war.
>> There's no other takeaway except Republicans are [ __ ] baboons, right?
Like this is baboon [ __ ] They're so incompetent. It really is true. The idea of like Democrats are the adults in the room. It's sort of cliche, but like it really is true that even though there's areas of disagreement that I have, especially with your standard centrist Democrats, like these people are just completely and utterly unfit. They can't manage anything. You know, I I would never leave my kids alone with any of these [ __ ] idiots. You know what I'm saying? Like, they are they're just they're just unfit. They're just unfit.
I mean, this guy was like a a Dtier [ __ ] foxho. a weekend fox hose who literally didn't believe in germ theory and now he's the secretary of defense.
Like what are we talking about? So here we go. We're dealing with the [ __ ] hell that they created and uh the secretary of war crimes was absolutely crashing out and getting pummeled into the ground.
