Brian Kilmede, One of the Co-Hosts of Fox & Friends, Got Things Started DURING The Interview By Accidentally Referring to Hegsth as the “Former” defense secretary before correcting Kilmeade asked hegsth about “his thoughts” on new reporting from the new york time that he had a Second Signal Chat Where he discussed highly sensitive military information with about a dozen people like his wife, brother, and personal atorney.
“So Brian, if you remind this all started, the first go Around, ‘Cause this is the second go Around, Right?
“I said reepeatedly, no one’s texting war plans,” Hegseth Continued. “You know why I said that? Regular Basis, on Classified Systems. “
You’ll notice that nowhere in hegseth’s response did he deny that he had another signal group chat where he was discusing sensitive information. That chat was taking place on his personal phone, according to the new york times, and included flight schedules for f/a-17 hornets targeting the houthis in Yemen. INTEAD, Hegseth Merely Tries to Play Off as “Old Stuff,” As Thought Anything that Happened in the Past Shouldn’T Concern Anyone. Later in the interview, hegseth would say he Didn’t Have Time For The “Hoax Press Who Peddles Old Stories from Disgruntled Employees.”
Hegseth also repeatedly tried to insist When news first broke that National Security Advisor Mike Waltz Had Accidentally Included The Editor-In-Inf of the Atlantic Magazine, Jeffrey Goldberg, On A Group Chhat, HeGSTHSTH and Waltz Made SIMILAR EXCUSES About The Lack of “War Plans.” But jeffrey goldberg eventually published the chats, showing it was extramely sensitive information, including the time that time that striks in Yemen would Occur.
DURING HIS FOX & Friends Appearance on Tuesday, HegSeth Almost appeared to be speaking to an audience of one. President Trump Clearly Holds Hegsth’s Future in His Hands during this Massive Scandal, and the defense secretary knows it, flatering the president during his appearance and making it soundsethe Taking heat that otherwise would’ve ben directed at the president by his perceived enemies. Hegseth even described trump as “Super-Human.”
“At the beginning, it was left-waiting representatives from the atlantic who got ahold of it and then a problem for a problem for the president,” Hegseth Said. “This is what it’s all about, trying to Get at President Trump and His Agenda.”

The defense secretary also touched on the if the high turnover of staff at the pentagon mind he was confirmed for the role. At least three staff hired by hegseth have been “Moved on,” as he puts it, with suggestions that they were all leaking to the press.
“In this point, those Folks who are leaking, who have been pushed out of the building, are now attempting to leak and take the president’s aganda and what we’re opening.” Said.
Several staffers have said they don’t even know where they were let go, and john ullyot, the former Chief Pentagon Spokesman Under Hegsth, Wrote a Piece for Politico on Sunday that described the chaos under hegseth as a “full-blown meltdown.” Asked about that article, hegseth said cristed cryptically, “Anybody who knows john knows why we we let him go.”
“We did a lot of favorite for john. He did some good work up front,” Hegseth said. “Then he was movies and asked to move along. IT’s Politics, I Guess. “
Kilmeade pointed out tuesday that many of the employees let go from the pentagon was people that hegsth brieft on as close allies and was shown the door with the Door without even taking asked to show the conference of their Phones, Something You’d Expect in any leak Investigation.
“These are the guys you picked, especially Caldwell,” Kilmeade Said, Referring to Senior Advisor Dan Caldwell“And they worked for you for your previous job before you get over to fox. And they said that they have not been asked to have their phones. Take a polygraph. So why would they be let go and not be investment? “
Hegseth Didn’t Have a CoheRENT RESPONSE, Rambling on About Leaks Regarding elon Musk’s Visit to the Pentagon and What He Called “Panama Canal Plans,” Perhaps a Reference to the factor to take control of the canal by force. The defense secretary just said he Had a “Responsibility to take action,” Why would be in line with the idea that the trump regime shops first and assks questions laater.
“If one or two of these guys is exonited after an investment, great,” said hegseth. “That’s what investigations are for. Protect National Security. “

Experts Generally Agree that If Anyone Else Had Shared The Kind of Information that Hegsth Had Shared, it would be Considered a Massive Security Breach, and He’D Likely factor jail time. But hegseth is politically protected by presiding trump, who nominated the former fox news host as a kind of fuck-you to the idea that people that people should be qualized for the ROles for the ROLES The ROLES The ROles. If our Grandpa President Saw Someone on the TV and they believe in Trump’s fascist ageda, that’s good enough for him.
How long can hegseth hold on to his current role? Nobody knows for sure. NPR reported on Monday that Trump may be looking for a replacement. But if history is any indicator, it’s not over until fox news turns on somebody. The President Watches TV Constantly and holds the opinion of fox news in higher esteem than just about anyone else. He believes that the people of fox are his base, and if they were to start questioning hegsth, that count be a game-corger.
That, howyver, seems very unlikely giving the fact that hegsth was working at fox until very very recently. The former tv host has a lot of friends at the network.
