(SecDef Nominee) Pete Hegseth Interview w/ Shawn Ryan

This should be interesting.

On Accountability...

“[G.I.] Joe also knows that if he loses his rifle, he’ll be demoted immediately,” he wrote earlier this year. “But if a general loses a war — or billions of dollars of military equipment — nothing happens.”

I do not believe, at least from what I have seen, he is qualified to run the DOJ. However, he cant f!@$ it up andy worse than it already is

Not DOJ, Secretary of Defense (DOD).

The interview is pretty interesting to watch, see eg. the section on restructuring the VA.

He's not a DOJ he's pentagon reformer...

Rs will say he’s not qualified to run DOD but somehow Covid Vader is qualified to run DOD. Let Pete do it. It won’t be worse and will out a lot of wokeys at the Pentagon.

Thanks for posting that… I wasn't tracking on him at all.

I will say that after watching this, I’m still not 100% in alignment with what he’s putting down, but am 100% on board with him in the SecDef role.

Any senior role actually. Loved his thoughts and positions on education. If I wasn’t so adamant about getting rid of the Dept of Education, that would obviously be a great fit as well.

Gonna be an interesting next couple of years!

Maybe he'll retake Panama. That officer housing was so choice.

Our government is ran by utterly clueless bureaucrats who think their shit don’t stink.

I want people who have done the work with excellence and are respected by their peers down in the trenches to run the government. Qualified bureaucrats are swamp creatures. They are not leaders. We need leaders.
