Pete Hexet wants you to get in shape, folks, and he's like sick of it, okay?
00:00:05.280
No more, you know, eating cheesecake six nights a week and putting on weight
00:00:10.140
and you can only run a two mile in 17 minutes and 58 seconds.
00:00:13.880
He wants you to get in shape, and some people don't like that.
00:00:17.260
Some people want their military veterans to be little fatties
00:00:20.280
going out there to where they get tired after jogging for two minutes,
00:00:27.220
Pete wants you to do pull-ups, push-ups, get back into masculine soldiers that we have.
00:00:32.920
And this is a speech that he gave, and some people are not happy about this.
00:00:38.760
It's tiring to look out at combat formations or really any formation and see fat troops.
00:00:44.960
Likewise, it's completely unacceptable to see fat generals and admirals in the halls of the Pentagon.
00:00:51.040
Leading commands around the country and the world.
00:01:03.560
This is him talking about him not wanting his sons to fight with overweight troops.
00:01:12.020
I don't want my son serving alongside troops who are out of shape
00:01:15.160
or in combat unit with females who can't meet the same combat arms physical standards as men
00:01:20.360
or troops who are not fully proficient on their assigned weapons platform or task
00:01:25.160
or under a leader who was the first but not the best.
00:01:32.280
Standards must be uniform, gender neutral, and high.
00:01:39.660
Sonny Hostin, Rob, if you can find out from the view, she finds this slightly, you know,
00:01:48.100
What's wrong with having fat people in the military?
00:01:51.340
He's actually really befuddled by why the optics were terrible, meaning all of our top military brass
00:01:59.180
are all in one place and we spent $6 million to get them there.
00:02:04.840
It also didn't make a lot of sense to me that he was saying that he was going to toughen physical standards
00:02:10.640
and review the anti-hazing policy by sort of implementing a hazing policy.
00:02:17.160
And then also he said he was going to return to the highest male standard for combat positions
00:02:27.840
I just, I don't understand how that was supposed to be an uplifting message for our military.
00:02:41.340
By the way, there are no gender quotas in the military.
00:02:44.140
By the way, he fired more than a dozen military leaders, many of them people of color and women.
00:02:50.220
He fired the chairman of the Joint Chief of Staff, General Charles Brown Jr., who is African-American.
00:02:55.340
He fired the first woman to command the Navy, Admiral Lisa Franchetti.
00:02:59.540
I just, I don't understand the sort of hypocrisy of firing these people,
00:03:05.880
having all these people meet together and then denigrating them.
00:03:10.000
They look like, they're looking at him like he has two heads.
00:03:14.940
Well, first of all, I absolutely love what he did.
00:03:19.760
By the way, the military, for everybody that knows out there, it's not a fashion show.
00:03:26.540
We are in the business of war, and war is having trained killers to go and fight and fight the enemy.
00:03:32.860
Okay, and we have to be war ready at every single moment.
00:03:37.480
Okay, have you seen videos of China and Russia, Brandon?
00:03:42.920
Over here, like the last four years, when Biden was in, I was watching more transgender TikTok videos of guys like,
00:03:54.560
And this is the prime example of DEI will have you D-I-E.
00:04:01.760
Because even, did you notice, the views audience?
00:04:06.720
I want my soldiers to be, because they're not stupid, Pat.
00:04:10.100
Because at the end of the day, remember Jack Nicholson in A Few Good Men?
00:04:18.600
You need a soldier like that, like Pete Hexia, Pat.
00:04:21.080
Listen, with all the stuff that's happening inside of America, we could argue, we could fight, gaze this, bathrooms, all that, whatever.
00:04:27.540
When it comes to war and protecting the country, you need a leader like that.
00:04:31.400
You need trained killers to go out there and fight for us when it comes down to it.
00:04:35.180
Thank God we haven't had anything crazy since, you know, 9-11 Iraq and all that stuff.
00:04:41.520
And I'm sorry, those generals, get your ass in shape.
00:04:48.560
We had one, and we had to take care of ourselves.
00:04:50.780
And if he's taking care of himself and he's the Secretary of War, all those other guys need to follow suit.
00:04:56.120
So it's push-ups, sit-ups, and a two-mile run, and pull-ups, okay?
00:05:00.480
And you have to do it within a specific amount of time and reps.
00:05:03.840
Because, guys, at the end of the day, if, God forbid, crap hits the fan, we're going to war.
00:05:08.840
You don't want some overweight guys or some people that are like, you know, my feelings, I'm trans.
00:05:24.440
I'm not going to, you know, if you pull up her pictures, I think she's beautiful.
00:05:29.520
Do you think you get the job that you have if you were 80 pounds heavier?
00:05:35.160
Do you think you get the show, the job that you have if you were 80 pounds heavier?
00:05:39.600
Do you think, but no, but Whoopi's actually a lot older, but Whoopi's a very, very, very,
00:05:49.320
But do you think Sonny gets the job if she's not that attractive?
00:05:53.700
Do you think Sonny woke up one day and looked like that?
00:05:58.720
How hard do you think Sonny goes to the gym and the way she takes care of her body?
00:06:04.720
So why shouldn't we have that expectation of them?
00:06:06.740
Why are you playing a victim for these other guys?
00:06:16.240
I don't know what it is, but whatever it is, $5 million.
00:06:19.220
She deserves it because she takes care of her body.
00:06:21.820
Now, do I agree with her politics and all this other stuff?
00:06:24.560
Even a guy that doesn't agree with your politics respects the hell out of you working out.
00:06:29.460
And by the way, guess what's never going to happen?
00:06:34.640
They don't care if you're going to go to war or not.
00:06:39.000
And let me tell you, I saw a lot of generals when I was in the military that were out of
00:06:42.320
My colonel, Lieutenant Colonel Peacocks, was in top shape.
00:06:49.920
It was nothing like chasing a man that was 20 years older than you that was running 13 miles,
00:06:59.000
They had the moral authority to punk you a little bit.
00:07:03.480
Don't let this old man, don't let this old man, you know, your left, your right.
00:07:07.680
It was such a great thing to see somebody doing that.
00:07:10.340
So even for Sonny, when you're going out there playing this political bullshit that you're
00:07:14.860
playing, you still work your ass off to look like the way you do.
00:07:19.740
They need to work their ass off to make sure we're protected.
00:07:22.200
I don't see any problems with that, that they need to be doing that.
00:07:27.720
There's another clip I want to play before I come to Tom and Brandon.
00:07:30.580
Rob, if you want to play the other clip by Pete Hexed and then Tom, I'm coming to you.
00:07:35.440
No more identity months, DEI offices, dudes in dresses.
00:07:44.900
No more division, distraction or gender delusions.
00:07:49.460
As I've said before and will say again, we are done with that shit.
00:07:56.180
And by the way, that's exactly how I view the leader of the military to speak.
00:08:05.680
You go back and think about in the history books where Ulysses S. Grant or some of these
00:08:09.380
guys that maybe would have drank or partied on.
00:08:11.400
But when he came down to war and Lincoln needed somebody to get the job done, it wasn't McClellan
00:08:18.120
It was Grant, who was a little bit rough around the edges, that was able to go out there and
00:08:25.000
And to me, I'm getting the vibe that he's doing this.
00:08:26.660
And by the way, you know, good for him because at first, you know, I was a little bit like,
00:08:32.140
But I'm loving the way he is going about this, the way he's driving the initiatives for military.
00:08:39.520
Well, common sense is making a comeback because you know what?
00:08:43.840
A poll of American people yesterday, two to one, two to one, believe women should be allowed
00:08:58.620
And 77% felt they must meet, if they must meet the physical requirements of the job.
00:09:08.820
So two to one says, if your daughter wants to go off in the army and wants to be a Green
00:09:16.280
But 77% said she better measure up to the requirement.
00:09:23.860
Upside down, only 25% think women should have lower physical requirements.
00:09:28.240
That means 75%, I read 77, think that they have to meet the requirements.
00:09:40.140
You can't be even a full bird colonel going, hey, here's the standards that the Secretary
00:09:44.320
of War passed on for me to you, but you're out of shape.
00:09:47.860
I want, like, other countries have to look at us, guys, and be fearful.
00:09:52.560
During Biden, bro, let me explain something to you.
00:09:59.940
You said there was an older, I don't know if you used a drill sergeant or a colonel or
00:10:03.060
somebody, that three of you needed an attitude adjustment, and he took you out to the back
00:10:12.940
So he took us to the back, and we were acting like we're gangsters and tough.
00:10:19.640
We go to the back and takes his rank off and says, okay, who wants to go first?
00:10:31.960
And he says, he wants to go for like, Joe Sarr, we don't want to hurt you.
00:10:39.920
He was one of those guys that was a black guy that talked so slow.
00:10:57.360
And he beat, but he was so smart about the way he beat us.
00:11:05.920
And he brought us back wherever he is right now.
00:11:13.760
So I look incredibly favorably upon fat shaming.
00:11:18.600
Yeah, I mean, because I think it's like, like to say fat shaming is bad is like to say smoke shaming is bad.
00:11:24.040
Like to say, if you say it's negative to smoke cigarettes, like would we say that's socially unacceptable?
00:11:30.900
So, you know, in the military, in the police department, in the fire departments, you know, you still see fat people in those departments.
00:11:36.880
And then in the military, too, I know a lot of guys in the military, and they said in 2018, it went from you would discipline people and they call them smoking them out and stuff for things.
00:11:46.580
And so higher ranking people were literally afraid to do that to newer people because they could get in trouble and lose their rank or lose their jobs and get kicked out of the military.
00:11:56.200
So literally privates were disrespecting higher rank people after 2018 because they were no longer able to discipline them because of the way that like the HR stuff got in the military.
00:12:05.220
They went from the – they called it Shark Week to the Thunder Run.
00:12:11.580
They like took hazing out of the military, and that's detrimental.
00:12:14.780
Well, as I was leaving – the great point, Brandon, as I was leaving the military 2001, 2002, they started doing forms.
00:12:24.300
Like they started giving – like if somebody yelled at you too much, you could write it and like – I'm not even joking.
00:12:35.940
It's like how are you supposed to instill fear and respect into people if you can't hold them accountable?
00:12:52.860
It was a different poll that Rob ran about being in shape.
00:13:03.260
Do you think members of the U.S. military should be in fit and in top shape?
00:13:14.300
We have a new Valuetainment future looks bright.
00:13:21.420
I'm not afraid that I'm going to get fat eating this cheesecake.
00:13:25.160
Shipping it to you right now for only 29 bucks.
00:13:29.800
Are you in favor of military being strong enough to kick the enemy's ass so the enemy doesn't kick yours?
00:13:38.300
This shirt I'm wearing, I wear the white, I wear the blue, I wear the black.
00:13:43.300
When you wear this shirt, you know what it feels like?
00:13:45.540
You ever had somebody who loves hugs you and tells you how amazing you are?
00:14:05.300
The quality of this thing I wear, like Timmy shows right here.
00:14:10.280
Rob, can you zoom in to show different features of the shirt?
00:14:12.580
Like Timmy logo right here, gold, future looks bright on the side, VT on the side, and anybody
00:14:18.880
and everybody who's bought this, this is low-key, maybe our best item we have on there quality-wise.
00:14:24.500
Low-key, if you're somebody that wears dress shirts, get the white, the black, and the blue.
00:14:33.460
If you don't like it, I want to call and talk to you.
00:14:36.480
I will literally FaceTime and say, how can you not like these shirts that you wear them?
00:14:40.900
But you've got to order all three of them, go put them on Sport'em, and leave that button
00:14:45.200
open so people see that VT logo right there to see who you're representing, especially
00:14:49.160
if you support this brand, if you love what we do here, go get yourself a polo shirt.
00:14:54.000
Rob, if you can put the link below to the business section, that would be great for people
00:14:59.180
By the way, the black is sick because it's gold on black.
00:15:07.020
Rob, can we go to see what the white one looks like?
00:15:14.720
Guys, you wear this, and your lady sees you with this.
00:15:18.860
I'm telling you right now, studies have shown 40 weeks later something could happen.
00:15:22.800
It could cost you $350,000 if you're wearing a shirt.
00:15:26.460
The quality has got a lot of special things that's going on.
00:15:30.060
That's pretty expensive for the horse rental box.
