Current and former top military leaders are sounding the alarm and delivering...
In the past 24 hours, we have learned the following. It seems that U.S. Army Chief of Staff, four star general Randy George, who was the most respected member of our military, who was fired in April by the Trump regime. He was launching an investigation into the Apache flyover of Kid Rock's home, and that was one of the main reasons why Pete Hegsev, along with one of his goons, an individual by the name of General Chris Leneve, a very jealous and not so respected general within the military, worked together to team up to force out the very well respected Randy George.
“The Army Chief of Staff, currently there is no Senate confirmed Army Chief of Staff, and numerous other top generals were forced out and fired by Hegsev as well.”
Heer is what the Washington Post reported, had tip to Dan the Mooth, who has been getting some incredible scoops exclusive days before, Jim Rand General Randy George was fired by Defense Secretary Pete Hegsev in April.
His advice by another officer to drop the investigation into the Apache helicopter flyby at Kid Rock's mansion. That officer is General Chris Leneve, who is now vying for the job.
Leneve is working with Hegsev to gut the cutting edge drone program that learns the lessons from Ukraine, and that was pioneered by General Randy George, and they are focusing on a back to the basics approach to focus on what they refer to as a warrior ethos fueled by testosterone and not with technology. So here is what Leneve and Washington Post report. One person familiar with the matter told the Washington Post that General Chris Leneve said directly to General George, Randy George, the former Army Chief of Staff, that Hegsev did not want the investigation to proceed into the Apache helicopters who did the flyby of Kid Rock's home.
Two others said George told colleagues about the encounter with Leneve and seemed very troubled by it. Hegsev's team intends to nominate Leneve to be the Chief of Staff and is actively coordinating with Senate partners to lock in the optimal moment to do so is what the spokesman Sean Parnell said. The Army has no confirmed Chief of Staff as of now and we do believe there are Republican holdouts, even mega Republican holdouts in the Senate because Randy George from Iowa, by the way, was a very popular general, probably the most popular general and most well respected and decorated general in the United States Army by far and in the United States military probably as well.
“Who was forced out. Now this comes at the same time that Lieutenant General Kellogg or former Lieutenant General Kellogg who was at one point in time Trump special envoy to Ukraine in Russia.”
But then Putin said we will not negotiate with you. So Trump removed him from that post and he just became the envoy to Ukraine. He's calling out Kushner and Whitkoff as being horrible negotiators as well.
Just a fact about Kellogg, I'm not a fan of Kellogg at all. I do want to note that he served 36 years though in the military and his service included the command of the 86 airborne division.
He says a lot of neocon war mungering stuff that I don't agree with, but I do think it is not worthy what he is saying right now about the Trump regime. He was a top member of the Trump regime. He says Whitkoff and Kushner have never seen war like in Ukraine.
“He may know real estate I do not, they do not understand war Russia the enemy or the human cost putting them in these talks is a mistake because this is not their skill.”
He goes on to say an independent day for Ukraine no official U.S. representative came. Finland's president came to Ukraine, Britain's prime minister came, you cannot negotiate Ukraine's future without seeing Ukraine at war.
He has a private citizen, you need to see what Ukrainians live through.
You want to talk about independent stay Kellogg on United States, independent stay, on our 250th anniversary, Trump spent 90 minutes on the phone with Vladimir Putin. I'm just giving you my opinion protected by the first amendment which you can feel free to disagree with.
“I believe Putin and Trump on that call were hatching out a plan to tap Zelensky along by having Trump pretend to give Zelensky patriot interceptors or patriot interceptor licenses which Trump promised at the NATO summit in Ankara Turkey.”
In July was concluded to say, "Oopsies, we're not going to give it to you. Sorry, we don't trust you. We're not going to give you the interceptors to allow Putin to be able to build up even more ballistic missiles and to tap Zelensky along and say, can you stop blowing up some of these tankers and other Russian ships don't you want those interceptors right?" And then, "Drags Zelensky along and then say, "Oopsies, we're not going to give it to you." Kellogg goes on to say, "Russia did not want me on the negotiating team. Washington should have told Moscow you don't choose our negotiator. We do."
Instead, they let Putin shape it and broaden his friends. I wanted to handle both Ukraine and Russia, but the president decided otherwise.
“People talking about business deals with Russia are being foolish. Putin sells them his world. They buy it. He tells them, "I'll give you a mazerati and they believe him. Some negotiators need to step back and look at reality."”
I mean, is that the former envoy to Ukraine and Russia accusing the US negotiators of taking bribes? Publicly, it sounds like that's what he's saying. And then he goes on to say, "US defense giants like Lockheed Martin, if you're giving Ukraine licenses for their IP. I think this is the wrong business call. Ukraine can move faster and build better fixes. I will tell Trump what I think he should do." "Give you Ukrainians a chance. Who do you think is telling Lockheed and Raytheon not to give the licenses? You don't think that they would give the licenses if they were able to control all of the IP and perpetuity or for at least the next 50 years? It would actually benefit them in my opinion. In my opinion, Trump is the one telling them, "Do not give those licenses. You want the billions of dollars in government contracts. Go along with what I'm saying and I'm going to blame it on you."
It's a cowardly Trump being thing to do.
“"Do you snore? Did somebody hand you a CPAP and do quietly stop using it? The mask that never quite seals the hose tugging at you every time you roll over and a machine sitting abandoned and a closet?"”
Well, excite OSA works a different way. It treats a rude cause instead of managing the noise and you use it while you're awake. It's an FDA cleared prescription device for primary snoring and mild obstructive sleep apnea.
And here's what the routine looks like 20 minutes once a day. While the coffee brews while you watch one episode of something daily for six weeks, then a lighter routine to keep it.
Most people notice a change in just four to six weeks and then when it's actually time for bed, you go to bed like a person. Nothing strapped on, nothing plugged in. In clinical studies, 90% of patients saw a reduction in snoring and getting started as simple. No sleep lab, no waiting room.

Excite OSA is an FDA cleared prescription only device for primary snoring and mild obstructive sleep apnea, not for everyone individual results. Very risks and benefits at springsleep.com. It should also be noted that MS now reporting that Pete Higgsith has faced a record number of military conscientious objectors. Troops fighting against Iran and alleged drug smugglers say they are being asked to violate international law. Organizations that help service members apply to leave the military as conscientious objectors are seeing a large increase in concerns over US military strikes against alleged drug boats targets inside Iran.
One service member is concerned the military blew up bridges in Iran that wer...
Another things Pentagon leaders are not doing enough to prevent civilian deaths during air strikes inside Iran.
“Yet another asks questions about how the military knew it was not killing civilians when launching missiles at boats it believed were trafficking drugs.”
MS now spoke to five troops who won out of the military because in recent months it challenged their moral beliefs. And it talks about how six months into this war were seeing record high conscientious objectorates. The highest that Mike Prisner who runs a hotline to help service members file as conscientious objectors at the center unconscious and war said his group has seen applications increased by six times their normal rate since epic fury.
And it's the highest at any point in the past 25 years.
“We're hearing other leaks from top military officials the Washington Post reporting how US weapon shortages from Iran war are alarming allies confronting China.”
But concerns are especially growing within the Pentagon and amongst our military leaders who are overseeing the regions and the countries in Asia and our military capabilities there. One US official says more than 30 ships that were supposed to be in the Pacific had been shifted to the Middle East during the war. Now Putin obviously sees weakness. It was reported that CIA director John Ratcliffe flew to Moscow and the Wall Street Journal says to give a warning. Not about Ukraine but about NATO countries. Don't attack NATO countries are else Putin responded by immediately hacking Norway and launching a major hack.
China responded by launching a major hack at the United States Senate, the Federal Reserve and other agencies which the US claims it stopped the China hack.
“But we know that the US lies about everything. Putin and I believe along with Belarus planning a massive strike and a massive northern front invasion of Ukraine.”
During the winter you can see the troop formations heading in that direction. There are some military officials warning that they believe that Putin may use tactical nuclear weapons in Ukraine. It's clear that both Putin and China and North Korea see the United States as weaker than ever, having run out of weapons, having run out of interceptors and tomahawks and attack guns. As this article explains, 30 ships that were supposed to be in the Pacific shifted to the Middle East during the war, not returning, and the main aircraft carrier in the Pacific, the USS George Washington was forced to leave because the logistics were so utterly awful.
I showed you general McAfrey statement as well yesterday about how the logistics of the United States military has been so crippled and Iran was able to just piece by piece surgically rip apart US logistics and the ability of the US to even provide food and mail and basic necessities to our service members. Donald Trump is someone who's bankrupt in most things he's touched in his life. He's bankrupted company after company entity and dr entity. So it's not a shocker. He's bankrupting our military and he doesn't consider it. He doesn't have the right leadership that considers real basic stuff when it comes to like logistics for Trump and headset and people like that. That's boring stuff. That's not being lethal.
Hexet yesterday did a deranged presser where he said this is the warrior ethos. The world is watching and they see how strong we are here play this clip. You see a military that downplays its frontline heroes to avoid uncomfortable political truths only projects weakness. The world watches how we treat our heroes when they see a united states that fiercely defends champions and unties the hands of its warfighters. A country that corrects injustices and honors value at the point of friction they see an iron clad resolve of an unbreakable republic.
Actually the world sees how weak we are. We've never been weaker as a country right now and that's on full display.
By the way, speaking about those conscientious objectors that follows the report by pro public two days ago about how top commanders told Hexet not to cut civilian protection programs that would avoid civilian casualties and war crimes.
Hexet ignored what the generals were saying and he cut the civilian protectio...
We saw the war crime for example in Manab 1678 little school girl slaughtered in Le Maird like 1617 young girls playing volleyball slaughtered in the first day or so of the war. That's Hexet for you.
I want to chat about this quickly, which is a west point professor was fired after pushing back on limitations to teaching climate change stars and stripes is reporting a civilian geography professor was fired from the US military academy at west point. For pushing back after department officials barred faculty from teaching that humans contribute to climate change. Adam Coxstein a climate scientist who spent 17 years teaching future army officers said he consistently received outstanding appraisals of his work when leadership last year imposed a ban on teaching that humans contribute to climate change.
We tried to comply but ultimately pushed back saying that it was a disservice to the cadets education.
We're only telling cadets part of the story. We're lying to them, deceiving them. It would be like trying to teach the law without being able to even mention the constitution.
“That's what the Trump regime wants to do. They don't want the constitution being taught Donald Trump has ripped too shreds the constitution. That's for sure.”
Lastly, I'll remind you all of the New York Times article from today's ago how Hexet's purge of top generals has left the army rudderless. The army has not had a chief of staff. The service is top officer since Hexet fired Randy George apparently for launching an investigation into the Apache flyover of kid rocks mentioned. By the way, you remember what Hexet posted at that time as well. Hexet's like, I think we have the post. Hexet posted in support of it and he's like carry on no investigation. Again, just so utterly embarrassing.
“The article goes on to talk about a lot of the other critical positions that also have been not filled.”
It talks about one measure of the vacuum at the top of the army is the number of four star generals serving in its ranks. As recently as January 2025, when Hexet took office, there were ten four star generals on active duty. The service currently has five the fewest in decades. We got rid of generational talent from the military. Our top people, our top generals and admirals pushed out. People like General Christopher Donna you, who led the command overseeing U.S. troops in Europe.
“I mean, well-respected people gone right now. There's speaking out against this regime.”
