Valuetainment - ＂No More Fatties＂ - Pete Hegseth RIPS Overweight Generals In HISTORIC Military Meeting

00:00:00.000 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,

00:00:23.960 like the people at The View.

00:00:25.820 But Pete wants you to be in shape.

00:00:27.220 Pete wants you to do pull-ups, push-ups, get back into masculine soldiers that we have. 1.00

00:00:32.920 And this is a speech that he gave, and some people are not happy about this.

00:00:36.820 Go ahead, Rob.

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. 0.97

00:00:49.620 Ooh, fat generals! 0.95

00:00:51.040 Leading commands around the country and the world. 0.91

00:00:52.440 It's a bad book.

00:00:52.740 It's called a fat general.

00:00:53.660 It is bad. 1.00

00:00:54.540 Damn. 0.99

00:00:54.820 It's not who we are. 1.00

00:00:55.560 Okay, so listen.

00:00:57.540 That's fat shaming to some people, right?

00:01:00.640 He continues.

00:01:01.520 Rob, is this another one?

00:01:02.600 Yeah, I have a bunch of clips.

00:01:03.560 This is him talking about him not wanting his sons to fight with overweight troops.

00:01:10.100 He doesn't want that.

00:01:11.360 Go ahead, Rob.

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. 0.95

00:01:36.720 Okay, so he's saying this now.

00:01:39.660 Sonny Hostin, Rob, if you can find out from the view, she finds this slightly, you know,

00:01:44.700 inappropriate.

00:01:46.020 Why would we want to do this? 0.92

00:01:48.100 What's wrong with having fat people in the military? 0.90

00:01:50.840 Go ahead, Rob.

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.

00:02:03.160 That didn't make a lot of sense to me.

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

00:02:25.120 because the troops were fat.

00:02:27.840 I just, I don't understand how that was supposed to be an uplifting message for our military.

00:02:32.780 Maybe he's referring to Colonel Sanders.

00:02:34.960 It was really a bizarre thing.

00:02:38.880 He started talking about woke DEI policies.

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.

00:03:08.760 Did you look at it?

00:03:10.000 They look like, they're looking at him like he has two heads.

00:03:12.140 Okay, Vinny, thoughts?

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.

00:03:24.780 It's not a freaking summer camp.

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?

00:03:40.580 Those people do not play games.

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,

00:03:50.040 yes, on aircraft carriers and all that stuff.

00:03:52.800 It's like, guys, that's not what we need.

00:03:54.560 And this is the prime example of DEI will have you D-I-E.

00:03:59.520 Okay, I'm sorry, and I'm not sorry.

00:04:01.760 Because even, did you notice, the views audience?

00:04:04.160 Not a laugh, not an applause, not nothing. 0.99

00:04:06.720 I want my soldiers to be, because they're not stupid, Pat. 0.97

00:04:10.100 Because at the end of the day, remember Jack Nicholson in A Few Good Men? 0.99

00:04:14.600 You want me on that wall.

00:04:16.220 You need me on that wall.

00:04:17.580 That's who you need.

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. 0.91

00:04:40.040 But Pat, that's the attitude. 0.99

00:04:41.520 And I'm sorry, those generals, get your ass in shape. 0.99

00:04:44.160 He's only having two. 0.99

00:04:45.380 How many PT tests a year did you have, Pat?

00:04:47.740 I had one.

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.

00:04:54.800 Tell people what a PT test is.

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. 0.92

00:05:08.840 You don't want some overweight guys or some people that are like, you know, my feelings, I'm trans. 0.96

00:05:12.820 You know, the thing with Sonny Hostin, right?

00:05:16.300 Yeah.

00:05:16.660 Am I saying her last and foremost?

00:05:18.060 Hostin, yeah.

00:05:18.620 Okay.

00:05:19.140 Would you say she's pretty? 1.00

00:05:20.780 I think she's a good-looking girl. 0.96

00:05:22.180 I think she's gorgeous.

00:05:22.920 Yeah.

00:05:23.420 I think, let's just say it.

00:05:24.440 I'm not going to, you know, if you pull up her pictures, I think she's beautiful.

00:05:28.260 Yes.

00:05:28.560 Okay, Sonny.

00:05:29.520 Do you think you get the job that you have if you were 80 pounds heavier?

00:05:33.720 Why not?

00:05:35.160 Do you think you get the show, the job that you have if you were 80 pounds heavier?

00:05:39.060 Well, they gave it to Whoopi.

00:05:39.600 Do you think, but no, but Whoopi's actually a lot older, but Whoopi's a very, very, very,

00:05:45.840 very famous individual and actress.

00:05:48.020 She's made it, okay?

00:05:48.840 Yeah.

00:05:49.320 But do you think Sonny gets the job if she's not that attractive?

00:05:53.000 No.

00:05:53.540 No.

00:05:53.700 Do you think Sonny woke up one day and looked like that?

00:05:56.500 How hard do you think Sonny works out?

00:05:58.380 Oh, she eats.

00:05:58.720 How hard do you think Sonny goes to the gym and the way she takes care of her body? 1.00

00:06:01.400 All the time.

00:06:01.580 She talks about it on the show.

00:06:02.540 I'm sorry, Sonny.

00:06:02.920 How hard is it to look like you?

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?

00:06:08.420 I'm feeling sorry for them.

00:06:09.600 How much does Sonny make per year?

00:06:10.800 Can you type on how much Sonny makes per year?

00:06:12.540 What does Sonny make per year?

00:06:13.900 What's her salary? 1.00

00:06:14.800 I'm going to guess $6 million, let's say.

00:06:16.240 I don't know what it is, but whatever it is, $5 million.

00:06:18.560 Guess what?

00:06:19.220 She deserves it because she takes care of her body. 1.00

00:06:21.820 Now, do I agree with her politics and all this other stuff?

00:06:24.020 No.

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? 0.99

00:06:31.720 Oh, shit, we're under war. 0.99

00:06:32.880 Or is Sonny Hudson ready to go to war? 1.00

00:06:34.640 They don't care if you're going to go to war or not.

00:06:36.660 But we do with the folks in the military.

00:06:38.540 Bingo.

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

00:06:41.760 shape.

00:06:42.320 My colonel, Lieutenant Colonel Peacocks, was in top shape.

00:06:45.860 He's a general now.

00:06:47.240 In top shape.

00:06:47.920 You respected the hell out of that guy.

00:06:49.920 It was nothing like chasing a man that was 20 years older than you that was running 13 miles,

00:06:55.460 13 a minute, two miles.

00:06:57.360 You're like, dude, that's fine.

00:06:59.000 They had the moral authority to punk you a little bit. 1.00

00:07:01.240 Hey, this old man's whooping your ass. 1.00

00:07:03.480 Don't let this old man, don't let this old man, you know, your left, your right. 1.00

00:07:06.960 Hey, get your.

00:07:07.680 It was such a great thing to see somebody doing that. 0.97

00:07:10.340 So even for Sonny, when you're going out there playing this political bullshit that you're 0.99

00:07:14.860 playing, you still work your ass off to look like the way you do. 0.99

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.

00:07:26.020 I'm so glad Hexed is doing this.

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.

00:07:33.680 I think this is the one.

00:07:34.680 Go for it.

00:07:35.440 No more identity months, DEI offices, dudes in dresses.

00:07:41.660 Good.

00:07:42.280 Bingo.

00:07:42.780 No more climate change worship.

00:07:44.280 Let's go.

00:07:44.900 No more division, distraction or gender delusions.

00:07:47.140 Good.

00:07:47.700 No more debris.

00:07:49.140 Good. 1.00

00:07:49.460 As I've said before and will say again, we are done with that shit. 1.00

00:07:55.400 Nice. 0.99

00:07:56.180 And by the way, that's exactly how I view the leader of the military to speak.

00:08:01.480 Period.

00:08:01.940 Like that.

00:08:03.040 Thank you.

00:08:03.520 You want to see him speak like that.

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

00:08:15.460 that got the job done.

00:08:16.540 It wasn't a lot of other guys.

00:08:18.120 It was Grant, who was a little bit rough around the edges, that was able to go out there and

00:08:21.660 talk to the troops.

00:08:22.400 And they respected the hell out of him.

00:08:23.800 He got the job done.

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,

00:08:30.700 you're going to go from TV to this?

00:08:32.140 But I'm loving the way he is going about this, the way he's driving the initiatives for military.

00:08:37.620 I prefer this.

00:08:38.540 Tom, your thoughts on this?

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

00:08:52.320 in combat roles, two to one.

00:08:54.800 However, there's a comma.

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 0.88

00:09:14.780 Bray, okay.

00:09:16.280 But 77% said she better measure up to the requirement. 0.83

00:09:21.120 Isn't that interesting?

00:09:22.400 And it's lead by example.

00:09:23.580 And there it is.

00:09:23.860 Upside down, only 25% think women should have lower physical requirements. 0.96

00:09:28.240 That means 75%, I read 77, think that they have to meet the requirements.

00:09:33.380 Common sense is making a comeback.

00:09:35.000 I love that.

00:09:35.420 Yeah.

00:09:35.620 And you nailed it.

00:09:37.200 Look at him.

00:09:37.840 Look at how much shape he's in.

00:09:39.040 You have to lead by example.

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.

00:09:47.280 No, bro.

00:09:47.860 I want, like, other countries have to look at us, guys, and be fearful.

00:09:51.880 You know what I mean?

00:09:52.560 During Biden, bro, let me explain something to you.

00:09:54.260 They were laughing at us.

00:09:55.800 They were laughing at us.

00:09:56.740 And now it's serious business.

00:09:57.980 Pat, you used to share a story I love.

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

00:10:07.560 corner.

00:10:08.080 He put us on a plate.

00:10:08.500 What happened there?

00:10:09.460 And he was older than you.

00:10:10.740 Of course he was.

00:10:11.380 He was 20 or 15 years older than us.

00:10:12.940 So he took us to the back, and we were acting like we're gangsters and tough.

00:10:16.020 And he says, oh, really?

00:10:16.640 You guys are gangsters.

00:10:17.300 You're tough. 0.84

00:10:17.700 No problem.

00:10:18.640 He gets into a humby.

00:10:19.640 We go to the back and takes his rank off and says, okay, who wants to go first?

00:10:24.760 And we're like, he wasn't a big guy.

00:10:27.500 He was a 5'8 guy.

00:10:28.480 5'8 and 5'8, 5'9 guy.

00:10:30.320 And we're big boys.

00:10:31.960 And he says, he wants to go for like, Joe Sarr, we don't want to hurt you.

00:10:34.720 No, no, no, I won't tell anybody.

00:10:38.400 You're like, I'm good. 0.98

00:10:39.920 He was one of those guys that was a black guy that talked so slow. 1.00

00:10:43.980 God, that's scary. 0.98

00:10:44.880 Private bit David.

00:10:46.720 I need you to drop and give me 20 right now.

00:10:49.300 He spoke like that.

00:10:50.440 Everybody else would scream.

00:10:51.860 This guy would speak to you.

00:10:53.480 Calm.

00:10:53.800 Like, you're dead.

00:10:55.560 It's even scarier. 0.99

00:10:56.640 You're dead.

00:10:57.360 And he beat, but he was so smart about the way he beat us. 0.99

00:11:00.140 He only hit us on our stomach.

00:11:01.560 Didn't hit us on our face.

00:11:02.560 No bruises.

00:11:03.100 Everything was here.

00:11:04.240 Yes.

00:11:04.720 And we were like, we're done.

00:11:05.920 And he brought us back wherever he is right now. 0.94

00:11:09.060 Because of that, I have mental issues. 0.59

00:11:12.300 Brandon, go for it.

00:11:13.480 Yeah.

00:11:13.760 So I look incredibly favorably upon fat shaming.

00:11:16.540 I think it's really good and necessary.

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?

00:11:28.960 No, it's like objectively unhealthy to be fat.

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.

00:12:09.220 So they changed all the hazing stuff.

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.

00:12:29.340 And I'm like leaving, and I'm like, bye.

00:12:32.080 It got soft.

00:12:33.200 You know it's bureaucracy if there's a form.
