Nicky Glazer, this stunning tour. The thoughts of death I don't like to dwell on them for longer than like 10 or 15 hours a day, so... November 19th, Yamabah Theater No wonder women rushed to have kids were being trained for it since we were kids. They're like, here's a baby doll. Here's an easy-bait coffin! I got one of those, I stuck my head in it. I was like, I want out of this narrowness. Tickets on sale now at Yamabah Theater.com Don't miss Nicky Glazer, Yamabah Theater! Suffering from dry, tired, irritated eyes? Don't let dry eyes win. Use Sistine Pro. It hydrates, restores and protects dry eyes for up to 12 hours. Sistine Pro, triple action, dry eye relief. I think the generals heard the message. Those who responded positively, which is most of them, are leading newly focused and newly empowered and disciplined formations. Those generals who did not, who clung to the woke department or seemed to think civilian control of the military is simply a suggestion?
Well, they no longer work here. You see, the number crunchers say we fired 10% of the generals and admirals across the force, and that number sounds about right? And I know because I directed it, that we've also reduced the overall number of general officers slots by an additional 10%. Yes, let's keep putting people in charge of significantly important institutions who know absolutely nothing about how to run things. That, of course, was Secretary of Defense, BTECSF, who fancies himself. Secretary of War, because he's clearly compensating for maybe tiny parts of his anatomy. I'm not really sure there is so much wrong with that man.
I don't even know where to start. He gave those remarks in front of hundreds of junior officers and enlisted troops at Quantico on Wednesday. And it was an address he called state of the force. Let's keep in mind, by the way, that what he was telling these junior officers and enlisted troops is that expressing a difference of opinion is a fireable offense in this department of defense. Hexet defended major Pentagon changes, which he just made up out of whole cloth, including firing dozens of generals and admirals. Because they disagreed with him, expressed the difference of opinion or were in that idiot's mind to woke. To serve this country after having served this country for, I don't know how many decades.
Barring transgender people from serving, eliminating diversity programs. I don't know about you, but it seems like he's the one with creepy fixations here, not the people he fired. He also complained about the news media using vulgar language to describe certain groups of Americans. Hexet, of course, praised the war against Iran, which we lost on day one. Here's how hexet started the speech and I want to warn you this is really, really offensive stuff. Take a look. We are no longer the woke department or the weak department. Simple translation of that. No fatties, no trannies, no beardos, no weirdos, no wimps, no radicals. Just warriors. Just tough, ready, committed troops. The war department, as you know, is colorblind, gender neutral and merit based. Or as the president likes to say, we paint central casting. I want central casting.
The ideological clowns are out. The patriotic cowboys are in with testosterone testing on top. Now again, I'm not saying, although some people are that, uh, Pete Hexet has a microbeeness, but he certainly acts as if he does. And he is lobbying the kinds of insults that a school yard bully, who's parents didn't raise him very well with launch. At another child. That is the secretary of defense who is shaping our armed forces and the people who serve this country. That is not an audience full of admirals and generals who know better and probably feel nothing but contempt for that man. That is junior officers.
And it listed men and women. Who are being taught that it's okay. To speak like that. And to think like that. Later on in this remarks, Hexet turned to the border on. But it seems like these ways of war against a different enemy. Watch this. Take a ran, for example. Allow me to lay it out simply for the anti-American losers in our media. These Americans right here and their peers, these have destroyed Iran's navy, destroyed Iran's Air Force, destroyed their air defense systems, their leadership, and their military industrial capacity, their entire defense base. Yet our so-called press makes Iranian state media look reasonable. Our media's shameful lust for political retribution blinds them to the consequences of reckless so-called reporting.
So-called journalists, juiced up on Trump, derangements, syndrome. I think they're fighting against our president, but they're really undermining you. A free press is of course important. But partisan activism that intentionally smears the troops and the historic mission that they're undertaking is fundamentally anti-American. It's sick. It's a national betrayal. It's treason. Actually, I'm going to hate to have to say it, but it has to be said. Doesn't it have to be said? You small-minded little man. It's people like Hexet and Donald who simply cannot bear. To have facts they don't like brought to light, which is what our media supposed to do. And it is not American media that makes the Iranian regime look reasonable. It is the Trump regime that makes the cruel, theocratic regime of Iran look reasonable.

I've got thoughts of death. I don't like to dwell on them for longer than like 10 or 15 hours a day. November 19th, Yama Vaugh Theater No wonder women rush to have kids. We're being trained for it since we were kids. They're like, here's a baby doll. Here's an easy-bait coffin. I got one of those. I stuck my head in it. I was like, I want out of this narrative. Tickets on sale now at Yama Vaugh Theater.com Don't miss Nicky Glaser. Yama Vaugh Theater Then, Hegseth went on to talk about his new pet projects. Project Auto Warcom and Project Meridian. He announced Auto Warcom, which is a new command focused on autonomous and robotic warfare,
along with Project Meridian, which is a separate effort to study what future wars will look like. And helping lead Meridian in the future of robotic warfare. Well, you would think that of course he would pick the best of the best, the most knowledgeable people, people who understand war, how it's waged, how to avoid waging it. People who understand national defense and the complexities of this world in which we live. Yeah, well, watch. First, today at my direction, we are announcing the creation of autonomous warfare command or Auto Warcom. A new four-star combatant command with service-like authorities built to scale autonomous and robotic capabilities across the joint force in the fastest peacetime shift in modern military history. Under the leadership of the department's chief technology officer, Emil Michael, Project Meridian will be co-led by three of our nation's best minds.
Elon Musk, Paul Merlucky, and Newt Gingrich, all of whom are up in the audience with us today. Please stand if you would. Thank you. I think you could stick a fork in us. We're done. I mean, if that weren't so shameful and humiliating and tragic, it would I guess be funny? I mean, I have a couple of questions. Like, first of all, who the fuck is Palmer Lucky? And is Newt Gingrich actually still alive? Oh, I was another question. Who with World Things Elon Musk is smart about anything? I mean, yes, I guess he did such a backup job practically destroying our country through his doge initiatives. Let's put him in charge of anything. We want to destroy and the heads of seems help at destroying our military. On the one hand, this was a pathetic display from a preening vapid man who fancies himself the smartest person in the room, even though Pete Higgseth may be single, had to be responsible for lowering the average IQ in America.
But it's much worse than that. I mean, his stupidity is notable and frustrating and it makes everything else they do worse. But so much of what he's doing is bad. He is dismantling the United States military. He is strutting around on that stage like a man who is accountable to nobody. He can do as he wishes, as long as it speaks to his private and clearly depraved concerns, who needs more than anything to protect his ego from those who are smarter, better and more informed than he is, which is to say practically everybody.
And finally, Pete Higgseth is acting there like somebody who believes that he will get away with all of this. But the rest of us know that he is committing war crimes. He has committed war crimes and he will be held accountable for having committed those crimes. And hopefully, so too, will every single Republican senator who decided it was a good idea to confirm that guy to be sex charter defense.
