0:00.0	Well, if there's one scandal the media wants you to go all in on, it is clearly that they believe that Pete Hedgeseth should no longer be in charge at the DOD and that others should be fired because there was a journalist that was inadvertently put on a text thread.
0:17.0	They're also changing the definition of what, you know, classified information actually is.
0:23.4	They claimed it was war plans. Now they're also changing yet again what that actually means.
0:29.8	Now, Pete Hedgeseth has come out saying no units and no locations were shared on the signal chat,
0:36.5	fighting back about what is actually going on.

1:39.9	That's what it's about. The men and women who serve, who do the tough, difficult,
