Fired Pentagon Aide Says Pete Hegseth Spends Half His Time Looking For Leakers Instead Of Working

One of the Pentagon aides that has been fired in the mass purge to cover up Pete Hegseth’s failings is speaking out, and the aide says that Hegseth is spending AT LEAST half of his time looking for leakers. When he’s not looking for leakers, the former aide says that he’s grandstanding and posting videos of himself working out with US troops. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains what’s happening.

Things at the Pentagon with Pete Hegseth might somehow believe it or not, be actually worse than most of us had even thought. Because according to one of the aides that of course was recently part of the mass firings, we have seen multiple people higher up fired from the Pentagon, either for allegedly being leakers or taking the blame as scapegoats for Pete Hesse's nonstop signal scandals. But either way, lots of people, including Hesse's, chief of staff, have been let go. And one of those people was kind enough to actually start talking to the media to let the world know Pete Hegseth doesn't do anything. In fact, according to this former aide, Pete Hegseth spends at least half of his time during the day looking for leakers. We do now have confirmation that Hegseth is of course, ordering employees to undergo, undergo, excuse me, polygraph tests. So we're making everybody take a lie detector test to find out who these leakers are.

'cause you are the bad guys, right? The bad guys in Pete, he's world are the ones informing the public of the bad, possibly illegal things he's doing. He the guy that might be doing illegal things, his hands are clean. He he is, he is the victim here, right? Those signal chats. Why did anybody know about this? How dare you talk to the press about it. How dare you talk to the press about the fact that I was gonna let Elon Musk sit into a highly confidential meeting about China. How dare you let the press know my plans for the Panama Canal? How dare you let them know about what's happening in Ukraine?

You are the bad guys, not me in Pete. He's world. So that is roughly how he's spending according to this aid, half his time. So that should mean, of course, that at least maybe the other half of the time, he's actually working, right? He's doing Secretary of Defense stuff. Well, according to this aid, and according to Pete Hegseth on social media, no. In fact, what Pete Hegseth actually spends a lot of his time doing is going to military bases and working out with US troops, like lifting weights with them and trying to show off. And if you don't believe me, go look at Pete Seth's social media accounts because he's posting the videos there for everyone to see. Look at how much I can deadlift. Oh, watch me do this bench press with a bunch of soldiers in uniform around me. They love me. I'm great. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go hit the showers and then I'm gonna put more of my employees on the polygraph machine. This ladies and gentlemen, is your Secretary of Defense. We are living in Idiocracy. I mean,

I, I don't think that comparison can be made enough. I know some people might think it's being beaten to death, but no, for the love of God, this is Idiocracy. And if you haven't ever seen that movie, please stop what you're doing right now and go watch it. I don't care. But that is where we are. Our Secretary of de defense is spending half his time lifting weights for social media and the other half of it, trying to find out who is telling the media about all the horrible things that he is doing.
