Watch this 3-minute clip: SECDEF Hegseth: “The warfighters are back in charge!”

Transcript from STARRS

Laura Ingraham:
Your message to young people who may be considering a career in the military. Maybe they held back a little bit in previous years for a variety of reasons. We had some recruitment problems in the Army. You documented that. I’ve documented it.

Your message to them, if they’re thinking about this mission of protecting America?

SECDEF Pete Hegseth:
President Trump has your back. You couldn’t have a better Commander-in-Chief, and the warfighters are back in charge.

If you want to defend your nation and toughen up and be prepared for the fight or be all that you can be–whatever characterization you want–now’s the time. You’re going to have real leadership.

We’re going to make sure you got the best possible training. We’re going to treat you equally and fairly and with discipline, maintaining standards and accountability and meritocracy.

Laura Ingraham:
Is that at the Service Academies too?

SECDEF Pete Hegseth:
Service Academies, Recruitment. You know, these are not civilian universities, Laura. These are military academies crafting military leaders of the future.

We’re looking at reducing civilian professors and bringing back more military professors in these places.

It’s a back to basics moment.

So for those military families and those vets out there who have wondered whether now is the time to serve, we say welcome back. Come on back.

We’ve seen a huge surge in numbers because I think there was broken trust that’s been reestablished by President Trump.

You could not have a better Commander-in-Chief. I see it every day how committed he is.

We hope men and women of America will bestow their most precious gift to us, which is their their sons and daughters, and know that we will respect them and utilize them properly.

Not put them into fights that they don’t need to be in. Not send them to go nation-build.

We’re going to use them to defend our nation, not other people’s borders.

That’s what President Trump has charged me to do, and I think that’s energized a lot of young people.

Laura Ingraham:
You having fun?

SECDEF Pete Hegseth:
Oh my goodness, what an honor. It’s incredible. And we’re not going to stop.

I said in my confirmation hearing, this is the most important deployment of my life. And that’s what I’m treated it as.

You know, no one can keep up with the boss, President Trump, at his pace–it’s not going to happen. But we’re going to do everything we can to follow right behind and execute.

It’s a dream, and it really is–it’s not complicated, Laura…..

Laura Ingraham:
It’s back to common sense.

SECDEF Pete Hegseth:
It’s common sense. Back to basics. Peace through strength. America first. Supporting the troops…

Laura Ingraham:
But the idea that you would want to have your top generals in place that actually support the president’s agenda, that’s outrageous to people that you all would fire people who might be great people, great service–but that you didn’t believe would actually support the President’s missions. We saw that in previous administrations, in his previous administration.

SECDEF Pete Hegseth:
Every single one of us serves at the pleasure of the President to include uniformed leaders. The President deserves the uniformed advisers that he wants, and he’s been clear about that. I’ve been clear about that.

We’re building a team, that will give him the best possible advice. That will swear an oath to the Constitution and defend it. And then we’ll execute on behalf of the American people.

We need warfighters and leaders: outside-the-box thinkers, disruptors. That’s what we’re looking for. That’s what we’re bringing in. It’s a pretty exciting moment at the Defense Department.

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna Slams Biden Admin, Says Hispanic Voters Are Leaving Dems ‘In Droves’

/in , , , , , , , , , /by

Republican Florida Rep. Anna Paulina Luna slammed the Biden administration Monday on Fox News over their attempts to gain back Hispanic voters, stating that they’re leaving the Democrat Party “in droves.”

Luna appeared on “The Ingraham Angle” and host Laura Ingraham asked Luna why she thought the White House social media page had left off a Spanish translation for the administration’s post regarding International Transgender Day of Visibility.

“No, not at all – in fact it was intentional,” Luna said. “This administration has been angling to get back the Hispanic voting block, which Laura I’ll remind you that Hispanic Americans, specifically of Mexican descent, are now the largest voting minority in the country. This whole issue of Trans Awareness Day over Easter would not bode well, especially in the community, of which I so proudly represent – which is largely Catholic and Christian. So when they do this, it’s intentional. Laura, they are losing the Hispanic American vote in droves. I’m happy to say, because of that I do believe Trump will be winning in November.”

Luna went on to say the incident is not the “first time” the administration has “disrespected” Hispanic Americans, reminding the Fox host of when First Lady Jill Biden stated that Hispanics were as “unique” as tacos and when President Joe Biden played Spanish-hit song “Despacito” while speaking at a Hispanic Heritage Month event.

“It’s not the first time – remember we had Jill Biden calling us breakfast tacos. You had President Biden during his election playing ‘Despacito.’ So it’s not the first time this administration, and this president, have really disrespected Hispanic Americans. But, again, the top three issues are inflation, jobs, and the economy and so really when voters are faced with this in November they’re going to be looking at the message of the Republican Party and of President Trump versus this administration,” Luna stated.

“Frankly, they are, and by they I mean this administration, is working with Big Tech to censor that message to Hispanic Americans,” she continued. “Remember, only a few months back they actually purchased up a majority of conservative Spanish media and radio in an effort to push this and sway this election.”

In 2022, Republican lawmakers attempted to block a Soros-funded news company led by former Democratic staffers called the Latino Media Network from purchasing 18 Spanish-language radio stations for roughly $60 million. They were unsuccessful and the purchase later went through.

Former President Donald Trump has been gaining on key Democrat voting blocs, including the Hispanic vote, according to polls. In a recent New York Times/Siena College poll, Trump showed a six-point lead over Biden among Hispanic voters, sitting at 46% of the vote. While the margin of error for the poll is 10 percentage points due to the sample size not being “large enough to assess small differences reliably,” other polls have also indicated Hispanic support leaning towards the former president for 2024.

‘Almost Unhinged’: Victor Davis Hanson Lays Out Issues With Media’s Coverage On Out-Of-Context ‘Bloodbath’ Remarks

/in , , , , , , , , /by

Hoover Institute senior fellow Victor Davis Hanson detailed issues Monday on Fox News with the media’s out-of-context coverage of former President Donald Trump’s “bloodbath” remarks.

Hanson appeared on “The Ingraham Angle” to discuss the coverage of Trump’s remarks made over the weekend that it would be a “bloodbath for the country” if Biden was reelected in reference to the threat he believes the Biden Administration poses to the auto industry. Fox host Laura Ingraham asked Hanson about the “seriousness” of the issues, adding that the media has continuously taken the former president’s words out of context and claimed that he was escalating violence. 

“It’s serious because it shows you that these people are in free fall,” Hanson said. “They are almost unhinged because they have tried to destroy Donald Trump through lawfare and indictments are not working. They tried to get him off the ballot. They tried to bankrupt him and ruin him psychologically, physically, and financially – that hasn’t worked. They look at the issues that are important to all of us, Laura, the border, crime, inflation, what happened in Afghanistan, two wars that broke out on the Biden watch, energy, and they can’t run on any of them because they have been an ungodly disaster.”

“Then they look at the candidate themselves, and he is not able to function as a normal 21st-century candidate,” he added. “They look at the vice president. So this frustration builds up. And they just lash out and they – they make it worse. They are like an addict – they don’t understand that the fixation is destroying them and destroying their popularity, their theme, and message. But they can’t stop, they’re so obsessed. I’ve never seen anything like this before.”

Following Trump’s remarks on Saturday at an Ohio campaign rally, coverage of the former president’s “bloodbath” line circulated online. Alongside the corporate media’s coverage, Biden’s campaign team posted a nine-second clip of the remark without providing context to viewers that the former president was referring to the auto industry.

Trump took to social media Monday to hit back against the backlash he received, clarifying the context of the comment.

“I was simply referring to imports allowed by Crooked Joe Biden, which are killing the automobile industry,” Trump wrote. “The United Auto Workers, but not their leadership, fully understand what I mean.”
