ABC News has absolutely flipped their wig over what is commonly known as the “come to Pete” speech, delivered by the Secretary of War himself in front of the nation’s top military brass assembled at Marine Corps Base Quantico (VA). So much so that for a moment, correspondent Martha Raddatz seemed to forget Secretary Hegseth's actual job.
DAVID MUIR: Tonight, the U.S. military's top brass summoned to Quantico, Virginia. 800 top officers. Secretary Hegseth outlining his vision, what’s expected now of those military leaders and talking about the highest male standard only for all of those who serve in the U.S. military. And President Trump on stage, the president saying he has told Secretary Hegseth we should use some dangerous cities as training grounds for our military. Here's Martha Raddatz.
MARTHA RADDATZ: In an unprecedented meeting which the former weekend Fox and Friends host broadcast live, Secretary Pete Hegseth warning hundreds of combat-tested generals, admirals and senior officers flown in from around the world that the military under his leadership will be dramatically changed.
PETE HEGSETH: No more identity months, DEI offices, dudes in dresses. No more climate change worship. No more division, distraction, or gender delusions. No more debris. We are done with that [ shit ].
