Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump met with 800 of the military’s top brass last week and it was difficult to process how demoralizing it felt. If you’re like me, you didn’t recognize your country as our president talked about bringing US cities “under control†and painting anyone who didn’t agree with him as the “enemy from withinâ€. There was a lot to be outraged about in that meeting, and plenty that felt terrifying, but the event was also just humiliating. For our country, for the brave men and women of the military who had to sit and listen, and for the speakers, who, quite frankly, embarrassed themselves. However, none of that limits the danger the event presents for nation on a crash course with dictatorship. Join me and Marine veteran and advocate, Janessa Goldbeck as we discuss.

If they dont , they should be taken out of the military
It appears the American people are glad that some military is standing up to this leader of the country period He's mad because he cannot misuse them so he mistreats them by not paying them and their families period 45/47 needs to pay the military and anyone else that works, serves, or protects in the United States period ðŸ™ðŸ™ Every American should probably want him out of office period 🙠Accountable matters and Experience leadership
A sociopath made regime that has the intention to exploit & abuse its people & innocents, will make women powerless & remove them from the military & what keep authoritarian & criminal crooked minded regime in power. Because women have a type of intelligence & wisdom men don't, intelligence of life protection. The only women who will be picked will be the ones to enforce the regime. Men will also be refocused & brought attentions on brutalizing submitting women, having their moment of powertrip & abuses
Over fighting the abusive dumb dangerous reckless regime. The regime, leaders, guilty of many awful crimes, will want to ensure its protections. As well as being obsessed with personal enrichment, no social ability/intelligence, no or poorest responsability shown. 🚨
.
Fight it, don't wait non return point, the multiple & various security issues exposed, the ongoing aggravation process or waste years of damages. This is critical. This is all destructive and dead stupidly malicious intended. It's Trump and his socipathic idiotic irrational ignorant goons making lots of the world's bad guys greater, and good in the world weaker. And that, that doesn't make America or anything great again. That isn't a plan. It's no solution but worse.

I agree with you because trump is an old, old ass man that will not be here forever. All his efforts to rule the people of America to satisfy him will be wasted and a thing of the past as he will be too. He cannot bargain with death and in time he will be gone. Until then, we need to do what’s necessary to restore our country and we all know what that is.ðŸ‘ðŸ‘ðŸ‘
I suspect it will come down to military leaders refusing to obey unconstitutional and illegal orders and issuing contradictory orders. Civil war, if it comes, will not be settled by cowboy MAGA 2nd amendment fanatics fighting unarmed liberals in the streets, but by a confrontation between military units loyal to the Constitution and those loyal to Trump.
Can you imagine the kind of fitness regime that Hegseth follows? The only part of his puny body that’s in any kind of shape is his drinking arm.
Particularly disturbing are the number of comments on the internet loudly supporting Trump's behavior.
We have to stop using this word ‘dangerous’ in connection with any actions of the Trump regime. It implies there are consequences in the future, up ahead, when in fact the consequences are already here and now. You now have a President who seems to believe in a phantasmagoria created for him by his minions. He believes Portland is a raging inferno, being burned to the ground and run by a terrifying group of Satanic lefties who’ve captured and hold the mayor and governor. They’re putting out old footage on Fox of riots in days gone by, in different cities, different countries, different hemispheres, and telling this stupid old geezer in the Oval Office ‘that’s Portland, that is, what you gonna do about it?’ And the old geezer believes them! This isn’t ‘dangerous’. It’s here, and now. They’re dismantling the country from within, imploding it, and everything that’s happening is deliberate.
Voter fraud analysts have now released their findings for the 2025 presidential election and have found evidence showing that not only was the election stolen, but many of the republican politician elections were stolen.
Who's heard of Jade Helm?
I would like to say that Janessa is lovely.
History has already answered this question.
Your military will kill you on command
Beware 🇺🇸
#kentstateU
She needs to speak to the House and Senate Democratic body.
thank you for adding to the chorus about Schumer and Jeffries. Jeffries is good behind the scenes; he held his caucus together unlike Schumer. But neither of them can do public speaking worth a damn. After the shutdown, Republican leaders were on camera first thing the next morning setting the scene about ":the Democrats' shutdown" Democratic leaders showed up mid-afternoon. The only podcasters still supporting Schumer and Jeffries (that I follow) are Simon Rosenburg and Texas Paul.
41:00 You're finally getting to MY question. I know Congress is a lost cause, and the Supreme Court is now Donald's Supine Court, but where are the military in this? If they wait around too long Trump will have removed all the military leaders who would stand up against him and hold up our Constitution. They cannot just walk away from that meeting shaking their heads like George Bush and saying "that was some weird shit." They are going to have to do something.
No way in hell would 60 year old me trust 20 year old me to do the right thing.
Speaking truth to power, yes the gender neutral standards exist for a reason, no woman is expected to pump 300 pounds of iron on a bench just as no man is expected to top every woman on a stress test in to join the airforce amongst other things, we have known for decades that its a scientific fact every gender has its strengths and both are fit for duty, that is not a question of opinion its a matter of fact, Hegseth apparently never got the memo, I mean don't color me surprised, he clearly got indoctrinated into a weird inborn machismo version of patriarchy where grooming makes him more masculine than being tolerant or disciplined or even doing proper pullups.
Oh right, Trump was there too, I guess even subconsciously I didn't think about it because I could care less if anything happened to him, but…. man…. Imagine how tempted the leaders of hostile nations felt, and how nervous their citizens and their military would be, expecting a possible conflict to start there and then.
Imagine being in a hostile military and seeing it go down and going from being scared shitless of being ordered to attack them or be on alert, to deflating entirely in a fit of laughter after Petero and the Orange Clown's "speeches".
Imagine being american n thinking the army navy or marines can touch u lmfao, no military person actual active military person will not touch an american, they know better regardless what pete or trump say they have an oath to me as an american born on this soil. They answer to me/us and ONLY us, president might get first say, but the US military knows DAMN well do not touch an american. The national guard mad they gotta even work, ish is nonsense…they bringing in natl guard to do it bc they know the real American military regardless of what pete says 😂😂😂😂 they will walk down the natl guard
Excellent as always
Great videoâ¤â¤â¤ I’m not from a military family but work in LE environment. This is informative. I also live in a red state. So glad this video was done.
I’m a veteran and I didn’t vote for bone spurs. However, most veterans voted for that clown. That’s something I can’t understand.
25:01 As an epileptic queer sub in a poly relationship with 2 black individuals and has an autistic daughter and lives in a heavily evangelical MAGA city in Texas I can tell you it is terrifying and literally soul crushing seeing what you’re describing. And when I say “literally†I don’t mean in a figurative sense the way people use the word now.
I mean “literallyâ€. I’m 40. My Domme is 38 and her other sub who I love just as much is 41. We find ourselves wondering “is this what we fought for? Is this what it’s come to? All 3 of us have lost multiple friends and family members to hatred and bigotry all our lives and we would never wish that on anyone. And yet we’re having to see the entire nation go through the stuff we had to live through (my domme and my boyfriend more than me obviously) most of our lives.
I never leave the house without my domme or somebody my domme approves of me spending time with simply because I’ve become genuinely phobic of being alone in public.
If you Americans continue to act the way you do, oh yeah what a disgrace, what a shame and so on this will bring you and the whole world in à much worse situation than in Germany…
Stop bla bla bla s!!!
Please… when are you going to stop talking ???
Trump and all he does is a distraction to those actively dismantling our government..The Ultimate goal is by The Heritage Foundation-The hate, death cult leaders of-Project Ester, Russell Voight- project 2025/currently OMB director, Palantir co-founder Peter Thiel (zionist- german born) his close buddies JD Vance-(who Thiel got elected), Elon musk-S Africa born) among many others. They are currently destroying our constitution, all gov agencies and most important our 1st amendment right, they have all of Trump's E.O. to continue destruction and crush DISSENT! Meanwhile, Palantir, Meta, Elon are building massive data bases and profiles on all americans with the personal and private data Elon/dodge stole. Palantir/Elon is gearing up to implant and track each American like a chipped dog.. These people bring darkness, they want a "white Christian nation" to take America BACK to "guilded age" before civil rights with all that evil and more.The next generation will be indoctrinated robots and this "Christian" DEATH CULT will control the lives of every American, that will live the way "THEY" see FIT, if you disobey they'll one click seize your bank accts/property to make you obey or off to a death camp, ya know, like Alligator Alcatraz!!!! It's ugly, dark- I've never seen a "religion" so hateful and BLOOD THIRSTY to DESTROY human LIVES cuz "THEY" DEEM them MEANINGLESS we have a death cult running our country in the name of "GOD" who hates everyone but them (the maga crazies)!!!
Military needs to know Americans have huge respect for Military. Americans support these highly decorated men and know that they will do the right thing and know who is tearing up our constitution
Good news. Trump has increasing dementia and congestive heart failure. â¤ï¸ 😊😅
ALL military knows their oath to constitution, PERIOD………not to a dictator!!
They better not follow illegal orders because in 3 short years they'll be sent to Leavenworth if they do
And you raise an excellent point about who this performance was really directed at. I do think that it was aimed, at least to a considerable extent, at the people in the room. I think Hegseth actually believed he could intimidate them, showing how out of touch he really is.
He needs to be deported along with hlis cabinet.
Get National Guard in Florida and Alabama. They're Republican states but punishing and targeting Blue cities is horrendous.
I agree with you that senior Democratic leadership needs to change. Schumer is from a different era, where you assumed your opponent in his own way, was interested in the good of the country. And while I respect both him and Hakeem Jeffries, neither of them exactly inspires people. Jeffries rather deliberate speaking style doesn't stand up to Trump's stream of consciousness style of emotional attack. I really like AOC but fear she might be too far left to appeal to a majority of American voters. And I think Fox News has been successful in demonizing her to right of centre voters. There are several Democrat governors who could fill the bill, but are unlikely to. I think they need to look to someone already in Congress to replace these leaders but doubt it will happen. At least yet.😊
Since J6, there will be people out there that was watching will take what hegseth and trumpy said as gospel and want to be a part of that.
He is one old demented man,stop being terrified of him and remove him,disobey all his orders sighting unsafe mental grounds,just rebel and I am including the military and stop this insanity NOW,he and his cabinet are very unwell,so frustrating.🤦â€â™‚ï¸ðŸ‡¬ðŸ‡§
I really wish I was seeing more criticism of the military tbh. Like we can (and have) talked all day about what trump is telling them to do and how horrible it is but like; they can refuse to comply. He LITERALLY can't do it without them. Without their cooperation. And tbh these are the people in some future trials who are going to be saying "I was just following orders" A LOT. That's kind of whats frustrating to me I guess as an outsider; knowing they took an oath to the constitution and are somehow not standing up as a unit, as a group, to say "we will not betray our oath".
It's the generals that we need to be on the side of Democracy. The young kids serving them are probably so brain washed they would kill their own brother if commanded to.
The Democrats have NO message period! Shame on the leadership and members for not requesting Schumer, Jefferies and the head of the DNC whoever the fuck he is to retire and step down!
Release the Epstein Files!
Excellent discussion. I have sent the link to my 17year-old grandson who's father's family is MAGA. My grandson is thinking of enlisting next year. I dn't know if he will watch this video, but I sent it to him and encouraged him to watch to the end where Janessa talks about how diversity has been a major strength for our military and helped it to be the best trained in the World. My grandson is bi-racial so hopefully this will resonate with him in this especially perilous time. Thanks to you both!
