Heg Seth uh accused of lying to Trump about the state of Iran and the war itself. Put it up. This is interesting. Hegseth has been understating Iran's military capabilities and overstating [00:00:17] how successful the war with Iran is going to Trump according to a report from the Washington Post. Keep that picture up, Jordan, because I want to tell everybody what's actually happening. Trump is about to blame this whole thing on Hexeth. Watch now, this is my speculation. [00:00:37] One administration official said, quote, Pete is not speaking truth to the president. As a result, the president is out there repeating misleading information. What? So an official [00:00:55] from the White House said this about the relationship between Hexeth and Trump. President Donald Trump has continued to describe the war against Iran as an unqualified success. Saying as recently as Monday that the United States was doing, quote, unbelievably well, end quote. While [00:01:15] Defense Secretary Pete Hicks said Tehran had been, quote, embarrassed and humiliated by US forces. But Iran's downing of an F-15E fighter jet and the high risk rescue operation that [00:01:37] ensued showed that Tehran retains the ability to threaten the United States military personnel and cast doubt on the statistics he had promoted in recent weeks, boasting about, complete control of Iranian skies, and, quote, uncontested airspace. US officials and analysts said. Now, [00:02:00] before I get into the next part of this, remember, at one point we were told that Iran had no air defense capabilities to bring down US fighters in the air. No capabilities whatsoever [00:02:18] doesn't exist there, according to an official proclamation that was proven to be completely untrue. oh Though Hexeth has claimed for weeks that Iran has quote no air defenses, end quote, [00:02:35] and could quote do nothing, end quote, about US air incursions. Trump acknowledged during his White House news conference Monday that a shoulder fired heat seeking missile downed [00:02:51] the F-15. that left two U.S. Airmen temporarily stranded deep inside Iranian territory. He got lucky, it was a lucky hit. Trump said, a major source of contention regarding Hexeth [00:03:07] war messaging. They say it's Hexeth's characterization of the US effort to destroy Iran's, vaunted missile and drone programs. The regime's most formidable threat to America or American and [00:03:22] Israeli assets and personnel in the region. Last month Hexeth said, During a Pentagon news conference that a Ross missile and drone programs are being quote, overwhelmingly destroyed. [00:03:39] So here's the code. If they use one of these qualifiers before the word, like if they say something like overwhelmingly and whatever the next word is, it's a lie. That's what I'm reading it. Every time Hexeth or Trump utilize those qualifiers, it's untrue. They're overcompensating, [00:03:58] okay? All right, so last month, just last month Hexeth said during a Pentagon news conference, That Iran's missile and drone programs are being overwhelmingly destroyed, but more than half of the country's missile launchers are still intact. And thousands of one way attack drones [00:04:17] remain in Iran's quiver, according to a recent US intelligence assessment. The contents of which were relayed by three people familiar with the product. The assessment was first reported by CNN. Another source of scrutiny emerged March 31st, when Heg Seth told reporters [00:04:35] the number of Iranian missile and drone launches had fallen to a lower level than any of the 25 period since the war began. The figure was presented as evidence that relentless US and Israeli strikes were degrading Iran's ability to sustain attacks. But administration officials [00:04:56] said, Hegset's claim was actually incorrect. And that lower 25 periods occurred March 14th, 15th and documents sent around internally contradict the claims of the defense secretary, one official [00:05:15] said. This should not come to a surprise to most, the war is going so well, why indefinitely suspend satellite imagery. We talked about this yesterday, they decided to basically order companies not to show satellite imagery. is failing to control optics externally, internally, [00:05:33] that's according to retired Major General Randy Manor said his video. I have already indications that many targets that were recommended by the Secretary of Defense were rejected by CENCOM that they were civilian targets. It is something where, again, I don't have firsthand knowledge, [00:05:52] it's secondhand knowledge, but I believe that people are already saying no to the hierarchy. The CENTCOM commander is walking a very thin line where he is trying to do the best he can to implement military objectives as he understands them without getting fired, is [00:06:10] the best way to put it. In the same way that the Secretary of Defense has already fired several other senior army officers during times of war, which is unprecedented, there is this very quiet resistance to be able to say, let's get this in military lanes, not [00:06:25] attacking the civilian infrastructure. Yesterday, this week, we reported on the fact that you can still be a conscientious objector to the war and have legal military protection from following these illegal orders. At that [00:06:52] time, I said I suspect that many people have said no to these illegal orders, but it has not been publicized. Now we're getting more information. that people are saying no, because part of being a conscientious objector isn't always the route of publicizing that objection, [00:07:14] but doing it in real time. Because unfortunately, many times when you have individuals who well, war hungry and unqualified, the Proposition is made in real time and the opportunity has [00:07:31] to be made in real time of the objection. Hexeth is failing. But Trump, as he said in his own words, Trump surrounds himself with losers because it makes him look like a winner. Hexeth is [00:07:50] failing and he knows it last week, Hexeth demanded the resignation of General Randy George, who's pictured on the right, uh Army Secretary Dan Driscoll's top aide. This is the truth behind this whole thing. Quote, this is all driven by the insecurity and paranoia that Pete has [00:08:17] developed since Signalgate. Do you all remember Signalgate? At least in Signalgate, you had some conscientious reporters who reported on the truth of what happened. But Hexseth was [00:08:36] already unqualified and incompetent when Trump picked him. So no matter what, you don't get away from Trump here. You don't get away from the guy who said he's going to pick the best, the brightest. He surrounded himself with people who were absolutely intentionally for him not [00:08:57] qualified. Because A, he could tell them what to do without any pushback, because they would compromise morally as well. And B, Trump could also blame them or their incompetence if things went sideways. Yeah, Pan Bondi, Christian Nome, Hexeth is likely next if they don't get the [00:09:22] FBI director first. All right, so here we go. Unfortunately, it is stoked by some of his closest aides who should be trying to calm the waters. An official said referring to Hexeth's March 2025 group chat with national security officials that inadvertently included a reporter. [00:09:39] Hexeth, quote, Hexeth has got a big conflict with Driscoll. And he's been told by the White House that he can't fire Driscoll, at least for the moment. A source close to the Trump administration said, Hickseth is very concerned about being what? You're fired. [00:10:03] I'm sorry, y'all, hired a game show host to be President of the United States. Okay, all right. So now, Higgs says, uh feels as if he's on The Apprentice, and he's concerned about [00:10:19] being fired. And knows that Driscoll is one of the top contenders, or a natural contender to succeed him. So what Pete has been doing is taking anyone he perceives to be close [00:10:38] with Driscoll, and going after them. This is classic apprentice modeling here, all right? And this is the latest and most spectacular example of that essentially, Hex F has frozen [00:10:55] him out and tried to sideline him behind the scenes. Hex F wants to fire him, but Vance OJD has his back. Reality shows stuff here. Unfortunately, real people have died. Individuals [00:11:14] have had their families suffer because of this war. Infrastructure has turned upside down. Power is shifting away from the United States. We're talking about power that could [00:11:31] have been utilized for good. That could have been utilized for good in the world. The power is now shifting away from us because the institution of the presidency has been significantly defiled. Not for the first time, I'm just in a more public way. But one thing to note about this [00:11:52] whole conflict, you look at this war or these conflicts and you say, well, these things are unrighteous, whatever your political affiliation may be. Yes, that's correct, because Trump in his incompetence or the incompetence of his aides. They have shown you what's behind [00:12:10] the veil, money, corruption, propaganda. But I want to say to you, this is not the first unrighteous war. And I will further that statement by telling you every war, every war has the elements of unrighteousness connected to them. No war is required. Do not fall for the framework. [00:12:28] The first casualty of war is true. All right, Jackson Thawkes. Trump is just a walking mascot of himself. And there's always somebody else to blame. On the one hand,
