00:01It's long overdue. I mean, he's the guy who started the unclassified text chain when there were classified channels available.
00:06It's his responsibility, but I also think Pig Hegseth needs to be fired as well.
00:10After all, Mr. Hegseth is the person who put the classified information on that text chain,
00:14who then also shared that same classified information on a separate text chain involving his wife.
00:19We're crying out loud. These two people all need to be resigned. We're fired.
00:23What kind of impact do you think this will have with him out of the administration?
00:26Well, I think the president is getting rid of Mike Walsh that's protecting Hegseth,
00:30and I think what it's going to do is continue the upheavals that are continuing to occur within the Pentagon right now.
00:37The DOD, we're hearing from people. People are scared to do their jobs.
00:40People are concerned to share classified information.
00:43They don't trust that the Secretary of Defense knows how to manage classified information.
00:47And I think they're trying to get rid of this issue, but it is one of national security importance.
00:53Are you worried about who could come next?
00:56Oh, I hope that there's more people who will be fired next.
