- 0:59Speaker 3: Pete hex Seth is what did the Navy to review
- 1:01Speaker 3: the names of vessels honoring gay rights activists Harvey Milk,
- 1:05Speaker 3: Harriet Tubman, and Ruf Beta Ginsburg.
- 1:08Speaker 2: Let's go to ABC seven for the report.
- 1:09Speaker 4: Please, the Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has ordered the
- 1:12Speaker 4: Navy to take the rare step of renaming a ship.
- 1:15Speaker 4: The ship is named for murdered gay rights activists and
- 1:18Speaker 4: Navy veteran Harvey Milk. Military dot Com first reported the
- 1:21Speaker 4: timing of the announcement during Pride Month is intentional. Harvey
- 1:25Speaker 4: Milk was forced to resign from the Navy in nineteen
- 1:27Speaker 4: fifty five because of his sexual orientation. The us NS
- 1:31Speaker 4: Harvey Milk is part of the John Lewis class of
- 1:33Speaker 4: oilerships that are named after civil rights leaders.
- 1:37Speaker 3: Okay, we all know that the Trump administration wants to
- 1:41Speaker 3: purge all programs and policies and books and social media
- 1:45Speaker 3: mentions of any references to diversity, equity, and inclusion. They
- 1:48Speaker 3: are literally trying to erase anything they consider other out
- 1:53Speaker 3: of the history books.
- 1:54Speaker 2: Okay, it makes no sense.
- 1:55Speaker 3: What other reason would you have to not want a
- 1:57Speaker 3: ship named after Harvey Milk or Harriet Tubman or RBG.
- 2:01Speaker 3: It's just the racier, nothing more, nothing less, and everyone
- 2:05Speaker 3: just needs to call it what it is. By the way,
- 2:07Speaker 3: none of those three people would be considered dei highers.
- 2:10Speaker 2: Okay.
- 2:10Speaker 3: They all earned their legacies, they all earned their reputations.
- 2:14Speaker 2: Okay.
- 2:14Speaker 3: The reason they have their names on those ships, the
- 2:16Speaker 3: reason people wanted to name those vessels after them, is
- 2:19Speaker 3: simply because they're trailblazers who actually did things that people
- 2:24Speaker 3: should recognize in honor.
- 2:25Speaker 2: And you want to erase that. Why.
- 2:28Speaker 3: I need to see the signal chat about this, Pete, Okay,
- 2:31Speaker 3: I need to see what your real reasoning is, not
- 2:33Speaker 3: the politically correct reasoning you give into the media. Just
- 2:35Speaker 3: tell us the truth, because the truth is you want
- 2:38Speaker 3: to erase the legacy of civil rights leaders and gay
- 2:41Speaker 3: icons like Harvey Milk in America. We cannot heal from
- 2:45Speaker 3: what we don't reveal, Okay. Hiding our history is just
- 2:48Speaker 3: simply going to hurt our future. Now, Pete, you are
- 2:51Speaker 3: the Secretary of Defense, Okay, focusing on your job is
- 2:54Speaker 3: crucial for the safety of not only this country, but
- 2:56Speaker 3: the world.
- 2:57Speaker 2: Every American should be saying.
- 2:59Speaker 3: To themselves, Hey, Pete, don't you got better things to
- 3:01Speaker 3: be doing? Okay, Pete XCEF, you yourself just highlighted the
- 3:06Speaker 3: threat posed by China's military build up. Okay, in particular
- 3:10Speaker 3: concerning Taiwan. You could be focused on that. What about
- 3:13Speaker 3: the ongoing conflict in Ukraine? Pete, you were absent at
- 3:16Speaker 3: a recent NATO meeting on Ukraine and had people questioning
- 3:19Speaker 3: the US's engagement in the conflict. Don't tell me you
- 3:22Speaker 3: was absent from the meeting because you're too busy worried
- 3:24Speaker 3: about ships being named after Harriet Tubman. Okay, your Pete.
- 3:28Speaker 3: The Department of Defense has proposed significant budget cuts, which
- 3:31Speaker 3: I'm happy about because anytime you want to talk about
- 3:33Speaker 3: wasteful spending, you should start at the DD. But if
- 3:36Speaker 3: these budget cuts reduce senior military ranks by twenty percent,
- 3:39Speaker 3: like they are proposing, then that could impact the military
- 3:42Speaker 3: strategic and operational readiness. And y'all definitely not gonna be
- 3:45Speaker 3: ready if the Department of Defense is too busy worried
- 3:48Speaker 3: about renaming ships, Okay, Pete XF, I don't care what
- 3:52Speaker 3: a ship is named. When there are headlines in the
- 3:55Speaker 3: Economic Times that read world War three looms. Global leaders
- 4:01Speaker 3: given two weeks as the clock takes toward catastrophe. See
- 4:05Speaker 3: while we worried about the Diddy trial, others are preparing
- 4:08Speaker 3: for World War three. Okay, I was reading an article
- 4:10Speaker 3: this morning. The headline was Britain's biggest companies are preparing
- 4:15Speaker 3: for a third World War As various conflicts threatened to erupt,
- 4:19Speaker 3: bosses are taking steps to ensure their businesses survived. The
- 4:23Speaker 3: deputy chief of Russia's Security Council said last week, hold
- 4:27Speaker 3: On said, last week, I don't remember everything.
- 4:32Speaker 2: It was a blur. I don't think it was last week.
- 4:34Speaker 3: Yes, but he said, and I quote regarding Trump's words
- 4:37Speaker 3: about Putin playing with fire in really bad things happening
- 4:42Speaker 3: to Russia. I only know of one really bad thing,
- 4:46Speaker 3: world War three. I hope Trump understands this. That was
- 4:50Speaker 3: a direct quote from the Deputy Chief of Russia's Security Council.
