Welcome to another edition of the Schmidt Storm. You have questions? I've got answers, so let's get started.

0:06.0

And the first one has to do with the unprecedented scheduling of every general being recalled to Washington, D.C. for a meeting with Pete Hagseth.

0:18.0

And the question is, what's going on with the 800 generals coming to Quantico, Virginia,

0:24.4

the Marine Base? I don't know, but it is frightening. It's unacceptable, and it's a major story.

0:31.1

There are 800 general officers in the U.S. military. That's about 150 to 200 too many. One of the inflations we don't talk enough

0:41.4

about is the inflation in the ranks. An incredible statistic is that there were more generals in Baghdad

0:49.0

in 2007 than there were in all of Europe on VE Day, victory in Europe 80 years ago, and at that time,

0:58.5

the U.S. forces had 16 million men and women under arms. At any rate, removing from their

1:05.7

that no professional military officer has any respect whatsoever for Pete Hegeseth because when

1:38.8

they look at him, they recognize that standing in front of them in a nation of 340 million people is one of our greatest dipshits.

1:47.0

The tattooed Christian nationalist freak show with his third wife Jenny trailing about,

1:53.0

taking him to his makeup room in the Pentagon, to the TV room here and there, bouncing around like a rubber ball on the Fox Newsroom wall,

2:03.1

third wife Jenny helps Pete with his makeup and sits in on all the meetings with the generals.

2:09.2

And no doubt Jenny will be in the room with the Secretary of War, Pete Hagseth.

2:15.7

Truly there are no words other than the words of prayer that this nation

2:21.0

not fight a war, because there has never been a moment in American history, not a single second,

2:27.7

where the men under arms have been more preposterously led by the commander-in-chief and by this buffoon.

2:36.7

There are no words for the National Guard Major, field marshal Pete, Secretary of War.
