Trump's Defense Secretary Sure Doesn't F*ck Around (youtube.com)
Peace through strength, the warrior ethos, rebuilding the military, re-establishing deterrence.

This isn't like politics as we've seen it. Maybe in the 50s or something a version, but maybe not then even.

He said there were 3 things that the media was misreporting and they would then speak to the public when they're misrepresented and clear things up as quickly as possible. ‘With DOGE, we’re focussing as much as we can on headquarters, and fat, and redundancies and topline stuff that allows us to invest elsewhere. ... Finding those inefficiencies is how we save taxpayer dollars. That is a good that of course is being distorted in the media, their hypreventillation, and it just goes entirely unreported for the most part.'

‘During the process [of re-making the military] we’re gonna communicate with you directly, and it's not going to be through the filter of media outlets.' ‘...Ensuring you get the real info in realtime.’

'We're not going to get everything perfect, but we're going to do it earnestly.'

Also, the comments are pretty excited.

Funny, I've stopped watching any politicians speak. Since they never say anything valuable, it's better to just listen to trusted experts and commentators about the subjects instead of the politicians. I pusposefully change the channel when a politicians speaks because it's basically always misleading (as its purpose), and it's better to not have heard the misleading information they want to put in your news. But now everything I've seen from Trump, Musk, Hegseth is good and valuable. So I guess I'll have to purposefully watch them when I see them come up for a while to get into the habit. With these guys, watching them is more valuable than watching a commentator, who becomes a mere filter for their clear information.
