Secretary of War lights a fire under some fat asses.

James O'Keefe is on fire, exposed in corruption,

Elon's on fire trying to cancel Netflix,

and the government is on fire in a shutdown.

The week in review on the David Rutherford show.

Who ya.

What's up, everybody?

Instructor Rutt here, back on the microphone for the end of the week. And I'll tell you what,

I am super fired up, most importantly because the Secretary of War, right? Mr. Pete Hagseth did something this

week that I've been waiting to see for longer than the last administration, even before

Trump's first administration, all the way back into the Obama administration, and that was to light a fire under the asses of our leading generals, admirals, and all the other punks up there, right?

From this moment forward, the only mission of the newly restored Department of War is this.

Warfighting.

Preparing for war and preparing to win, unrelenting and uncompromising in that pursuit. Not because we want war, no one here wants war, but it's because we

love peace. We love peace for our fellow citizens.

They deserve peace, and they rightfully expect us to deliver it.

Our number one job, of course, is to be strong so that we can prevent war in the first place.

The president talks about it all the time. It's called peace through strength.

And as history teaches us, the only people who actually deserve peace are those who are willing to wage war to defend it.

Listen, one of the things that drives me nuts is we're so bloated and top heavy for these officers.

We have more flag officers now than we did during World War II.
