🚨Joint Chiefs Strikes Back at Trump in Middle of War!!!
4/4/202618 mincomplete
0:00Could this be the beginning of the dissent by top military officials against Pete Hegseth
0:06and the Trump regime that you and I and we all have been waiting for?
0:10I know you've been asking, when are our top generals and admirals, when are they
0:16going to stand up to the Trump regime and say enough is enough?
0:19We're not following your unlawful orders.
0:22We're not going down this path of destroying the United States of America.
0:28Well, an act of dissent, coded as it may be by a source that may
0:35not be expected, just took place.
0:38The Joint Chiefs of Staff, through their official social media account, sent a coded message
0:45striking back at Pete Hegseth and the Trump regime after Hegseth precipitously fired the Chief
0:54of Staff of the Army, four -star General Randy George.
1:00Randy George, General Randy George, was widely respected.
1:06I mean, he was the top guy, the top person in the Army.
1:10That's what the Chief of Staff position is, a four -star general.
1:13And Pete Hegseth, in the middle of this catastrophic war against Iran, fired General Randy
1:20George. And this firing deserves more attention as well, because General Randy George was one
1:27of the best tacticians, one of the best students of the tactics that were being
1:34used in Ukraine in order to stop Russia's invasion.
1:39And he was trying to integrate that into the Army.
1:43He played a pivotal role himself, previously being on the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
1:50And just so you all know, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, by statute, it is
1:55the principal advisory body to the President, the Secretary of Defense, and the National Security
2:02Council. And since Pete Hegseth has been confirmed as the Secretary of Defense and runs
2:09around calling himself the Secretary of War, We've already seen the former Chairman of the
2:16Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Charles C .Q.
2:20Brown, Jr. was fired. We saw the Chief of Naval Operations, Admiral Lisa Franchetti, was
2:28fired. We saw the Vice Chief of Staff of the Air Force, General James Sly
2:34fired. And now we've seen General Randy George.
2:38George, Hegseth and Trump have gutted the Joint Chiefs.
2:42Now, the Joint Chiefs have put out the following statement.
2:45And I said, you have to understand military language and military code to see what's
2:52going on here, right? So Pete Hegseth, he fires General Randy George.
2:57A lot of the reporting is, is that General Randy George would not remove from
3:02a promotion list individuals who were well -qualified to get promoted to high -level positions
3:12in the United States Army, where Hegseth and people close to Hegseth didn't want them
3:18to be part of the Army because they were either Black or they were women.
3:23And Hegseth didn't want that.
3:25That's what a lot of the reporting says.
3:27We haven't really seen denials of that from Hegseth, but we know that that is
3:32something, you know, in my opinion, I'm giving you my opinion, of course, unprotected by
3:37the First Amendment of the United States Constitution, that we've seen with Hegseth over and
3:41over again. In addition, Hegseth is deeply paranoid right now as this catastrophic war in
3:48Iran is spiraling out of control.
3:51General Hegseth believes that this guy, Driscoll, Army Secretary Dan Driscoll, who's close to J
3:58.D. Vance and who was also close to General Randy George, is trying to get
4:04his job. And Hegseth apparently is just foaming at the mouth and, you know, is
4:09just going down this crazy path.
4:11So here's the statement of the Joint Staff.
4:13Let me read it for you.
4:15Let's go through the coded language right here of the message they're sending.
4:18So Hegseth fires Randy George, forces him to retirement.
4:23The Joint Staff, which is the official account for the Joint Chiefs of Staff, they
4:28put out the following message.
4:29On behalf of the Joint Force and the Joint Chiefs, we extend our deepest gratitude
4:36to Chief of Staff of the Army, General Randy George, for his decades of steadfast
4:42service to our nation. Since 1988, General George and his family have consistently answered the
4:50nation's call with honor and dedication.
4:54We are profoundly thankful to General George and his wife, Patty, for their many years
5:00of sacrifice and devotion to those who serve.
5:04As they graduate from this distinguished chapter of service and look forward to the future,
5:10we wish them both. continued happiness and success in all that lies ahead.
5:17Now, Hegseth wanted this to be a humiliation ritual, a walk of shame, if you
5:23will. I wanted to completely and utterly humiliate General Randy George, and the joint staff
5:31had his back right away and talked about how thankful they are and what real
5:36service looks like. The coded language right here is that the clown, Pete Hegseth, who
5:43did this, does not exemplify those values right here.
5:47And we're hearing from a lot of former military leaders and others who are commenting
5:52on what just happened. Former retired General or retired General Barry McCaffrey writes, General George
5:59is a superb combat battlefield commander, integrity, courage, experience, takes care of soldiers, solid judgment,
6:08modest, and principled. D .C.
6:11Gomez writes, As someone who gave 28 years of my life to the government protecting
6:16the U .S., nothing pisses me off more than the way this administration treats career
6:22professional military and veterans. Nick Bryan writes, The chairman of the Joint Chiefs is throwing
6:28some shade at Hegseth. Don't be fooled by the Raisin Cain call sign.
6:32Cain is not a MAGA hothead that he is often mistakenly portrayed to be.
6:38More on that in a second.
6:40Craig Beam writes, Secretary of Defense has lost any support from the chain of command.
6:46It will get worse before it gets better.
6:49And may God protect our service members in peril.
6:53May God protect our service members in peril.
6:56Whether you believe in God or whether you're religious or not, you can just say,
7:01may our service members be protected who have been placed in peril right now.
7:05Because there's a catastrophic war taking place right now.
7:08And the head of the United States Army was just fired.
7:12And a lot of the reporting is because that there was an effort to inject
7:18more racism into the Army.
7:20And that general would not stand for it.
7:23I don't let the title fool you.
7:24When you're the Chief of Staff of the Army, that means you're the top position
7:28of the entire United States Army.
7:31Top Army officer, four -star general.
7:34You don't get higher than this position.
7:36And to fire your top Army officer in the middle of this war is absolutely
7:43insane. I mean, it's absolutely insane also that the Trump regime fired via a social
7:49media post last year, Chief of Staff, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, C .Q.
7:55Brown. And they replaced him with Air Force Lieutenant General Dan Raisin -Kane.
8:01And because of Lieutenant General Dan Raisin -Kane not having necessarily the appropriate qualifications, he
8:08basically had to get a waiver.
8:10Now, lots of people still say that Raisin -Kane, you know, as that comment pointed
8:14out, you know, is not supportive of a lot of the things that are happening
8:18and is looking at Hegseth like he is a clown.
8:21But Raisin -Kane is, you know, still Donald Trump's pick right there.
8:25I want to share this with you because I think this doesn't get enough attention.
8:29Who is General Randy A.
8:33George who was just fired?
8:35Let's talk a bit. I mean, I gave you his background right there.
8:39When I read what the Joint Chiefs does.
8:41But I want to share this with you.
8:43And please, please watch through the end of this.
8:46Because, again, you're not getting this on any other network or anywhere else.
8:50I want to show you a speech from 2023 that General Randy George, who's now
8:57been fired, gives. Because he gives a roadmap right here about the types of things
9:04that would be important in Donald Trump's war in Iran.
9:07I mean, this is a catastrophic war.
9:10It's an unlawful war. It shouldn't be brought in the first place.
9:12And we can all discuss whether the orders should have been carried out to begin
9:17with regarding this unlawful war.
9:19My own view is that they shouldn't.
9:21If it's an unlawful war, unlawful orders shouldn't be followed.
9:25I would like to say set that aside, but I know we can't set that
9:29aside. What I'm simply trying to state is we're in this war right now, right?
9:34And we would still want the most qualified people to be overseeing and protecting our
9:43soldiers, right? And competent, qualified people.
9:46This guy, General Randy A.
9:48George, this four -star general, the top guy in the army, he was that guy.
9:53And what we've seen is Hegseth and the Trump regime have gotten rid of 22
9:58to 26 of the top military leaders, the biggest purge in history right now.
10:05And they've gotten rid of a ton of them in the past 48 hours and
10:10throughout the past 14 months.
10:12And these are the best tacticians, the best.
10:14So let me share with you this.
10:16I'm only going to show you about five minutes of it, but you're going to
10:19want to watch the whole thing.
10:21Please watch this whole thing because you'll be like, that's the guy.
10:24Like, you know what a clown Hegseth is.
10:26I'm not even going to show Hegseth clips because it'll annoy us.
10:29But I want to show you what a real competent leader in the military sounds
10:34like. This is General Randy A.
10:36George speaking in 2023 at the...
10:39This is Touch Network. We dug up this footage here.
10:41Play this clip. So I'm going to be very straightforward with you all today.
10:45We're doing a lot of things really well, and we've got some work to do.
10:51And my goal is for all of you to understand your part.
10:58First, I am proud of our Army.
11:01Recently, I visited several of our Army formations.
11:04In Germany, I saw a 2nd Cavalry Regiment who are clearly focused on building their
11:11warfighting skills and innovating to stay ahead of the threat.
11:15Instead of a fixed tactical operations center, the 2nd Cav.
11:19Regiment commander commands and controls his formations from five strikers that are physically dispersed, yet
11:26digitally connected across the battlefield.
11:29That commander understands the challenges of large -scale combat operations and is adapting in real
11:37time to be more mobile, low signature, and lethal.
11:43And more recently, in Alaska, I met soldiers from the 11th Airborne Division.
11:50Their 2nd Brigade soldiers were out in the cold rain, working hard to earn their
11:55expert infantry and soldier badges.
11:58I've been up to Alaska in the dead of winter, and I know this unit
12:02can train and fight in the most extreme environments.
12:07Wherever I go, I consistently see soldiers of every generation willing to innovate, train, and
12:16endure hardship for the team and the mission.
12:22For my part, when Americans see our Army, I want them to see what I
12:29see. I want them to feel the pride that I feel, because their Army is
12:35the best ground -fighting force in the world.
12:47When our Army hits the dirt, our nation means business.
12:52Our allies and partners don't want to fight without us, and our adversaries are wise
12:59to fear us. Because when Americans see their Army, they see exceptional teams, tough, disciplined
13:07soldiers who are proudly serving their country.
13:11Because in the Army, they see leaders who demand excellence and hold each other accountable.
13:17They see soldiers who are fit and masters of their craft.
13:22And they see strong families behind those soldiers who are a valued part of our
13:29team. And finally, and particularly important given our interconnected world today, they see an Army
13:37that knows how to innovate, adapt, and thrive in new conditions.
13:44Hang on a second. This is critically important because the character of war is changing.
13:57It's changing rapidly because disruptive technology is fundamentally altering how humans interact.
14:04Just look at Ukraine. On the battlefield today, everything is a sensor.
14:12I recall when satellite technology brought news from the battlefield to Americans' living rooms.
14:19That, in and of itself, gave a new dynamic to warfighting.
14:24Today, every one of us has better cameras in our pockets that are connected to
14:29the cloud. No one can hide, and no formation is safe.
14:33Where we can see, we can hit.
14:36And we can see everywhere.
14:39Along the same lines, electromagnetic signature management is vital.
14:45We all leak detectable digital exhaust.
14:50Emails, phone calls, even when sending a text.
14:54Now warfighters must find ways to blend in with the noise all around.
15:00Logistics are more complex. Because the logistics tales that we have grown accustomed to are
15:05conspicuous. They can be hit, sabotaged, and cyber -attacked.
15:10And autonomous systems are changing the game for not that much money.
15:16I'm not just talking about unmanned aerial systems, but ground systems as well.
15:23But challenges are nothing new to the United States Army.
15:27In fact, they offer us opportunity to assess and get better.
15:34We just have to stay grounded.
15:37I've been reflecting on our Army's motto, This Will Defend, which was first used as
15:45a battle cry by the Continental Army.
15:47Today, it reminds us that our Army's purpose is timeless and clear to fight and
15:54win the nation's wars. That is our mandate from the American people.
16:00And it requires action in four focus areas.
16:05Warfighters, warfighters, Delivering ready combat formations, continuous transformation, and strengthening our profession.
16:16First, I'm going to focus on warfighting.
16:20Warfighting is the reason our Army exists.
16:23We are not a Europe Army or a Pacific Army.
16:26We're not a brigade -centric or division -centric.
16:30We are a global force that fights when called upon at the scale required.
16:36We have always done that.
16:38Now, that's the guy that a very paranoid Pete Hegseth has fired.
16:43Pete Hegseth, it's being reported by the New York Post and elsewhere.
16:48New York Post is getting their sources from within the White House.
16:51Hegseth is getting very paranoid about losing his job, which is one of the reasons
16:56why they say they fired Chief of Staff General Randy George.
17:03Trump administration officials say Hegseth is worried about Army Secretary Dan Driscoll taking his job.
17:09Driscoll's buddies with J .D.
17:10Vance. Hegseth on Thursday demanded the resignation of Army Chief of Staff General Randy George
17:15Driscoll's top aide for reasons that were not publicly stated.
17:19This is all driven by insecurity and paranoia that Pete has developed since SignalGate.
17:24It has really gotten under Hegseth's skin.
17:27He is trying to make everyone around Driscoll suffer for no reason.
17:31There seems to be growing tensions in that Department of Defense.
17:34I mean, he calls it the Department of War.
17:37I mean, because he's such an insecure little man baby.
17:42No offense to man babies, because he even gives man babies a bad name.
17:47But anyway, I wanted to give you that perspective right there.
17:49You tell me what you think.
