Podcast appearances and mentions of Pete Hegseth

Woke is out at the Department of War, and higher fitness standards are back. Since being sworn in as secretary, Pete Hegseth has acted to “removed the distractions” from the department, including getting rid of “political correctness” and “DEI offices.”     “No more dudes in dresses,” Hegseth said during a recent speech, adding, “we are restoring a ruthless, dispassionate, and common-sense application of standards.”    Amid the Department of War's implementation of common-sense politics and higher fitness standards, more women have chosen to enlist in the U.S. military.     Over the summer, the Department of War, which was recently renamed from the Department of Defense, announced about 24,000 women were shipped off to basic training in fiscal year 2025, up from about 16,700 in 2024.     Women want to be held to high standards, and that includes in military fitness, Pentagon press secretary Kingsley Wilson says on this week's edition of “Problematic Women.”    Wilson joins the show to pull back the curtain on life at the Pentagon under Hegseth's leadership, and explain the departments aggressive strategy behind defeating narco-terrorists.     Also on this week's edition of “Problematic Women,” we discuss who “won” the government shutdown battle. Plus, is the culture shifting toward a celebration of the family, or is it only a trend among some celebrities?  00:00 Introduction 01:27 Pentagon's Anti-Drug Operations 11:36 Impact of the Shutdown on the Military 19:15 Changes at the Department of War 26:47 Women in the Military 28:47 Behind the Scenes with Secretary Hegseth 33:29 Is Hollywood Mainstreaming Parenthood? 41:59 Question of the Week and Conclusion Connect with our hosts on socials!   Elise McCue X: https://x.com/intent/user?screen_name=EliseMcCue Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elisemccueofficial/   Virginia Allen: X: https://x.com/intent/user?screen_name=Virginia_Allen5 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/virginiaallenofficial/   Morgonn McMichael: X: https://x.com/intent/user?screen_name=morgonnm Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/morgonnm/ Keep Up With The Daily Signal   Sign up for our email newsletters:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.dailysignal.com/email⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠     Subscribe to our other shows:    The Tony Kinnett Cast: ⁠https://megaphone.link/THEDAILYSIGNAL2284199939⁠ The Signal Sitdown: ⁠https://megaphone.link/THEDAILYSIGNAL2026390376⁠   Problematic Women:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠https://megaphone.link/THEDAILYSIGNAL7765680741⁠   Victor Davis Hanson: ⁠https://megaphone.link/THEDAILYSIGNAL9809784327⁠     Follow The Daily Signal:    X:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠https://x.com/intent/user?screen_name=DailySignal⁠ Instagram:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.instagram.com/thedailysignal/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  Facebook:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.facebook.com/TheDailySignalNews/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  Truth Social:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://truthsocial.com/@DailySignal⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  YouTube:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/dailysignal?sub_confirmation=1⁠    Subscribe on your favorite podcast platform and never miss an episode.

In this reflective and fiery episode of the RattlerGator Report, JB White broadcasts from home base in Northeast Florida after a chaotic morning of tech mishaps, football frustrations, and hard-earned perspective. JB dives into the deeper meaning of Veterans Day, urging listeners to see themselves as force multipliers in a historic moment where Donald Trump is acting, not just as president, but as a wartime leader on a global scale. He explores Trump's lawsuit against the BBC, the implications for foreign influence, and why Trump understands the geopolitical battlefield better than any modern president. JB also tackles the psychology of guilt used by communists to manipulate Americans across racial and cultural lines, the brilliance of Trump's “flood the zone” strategy, and the emerging America First bench with figures like JD Vance, Marco Rubio, and Pete Hegseth. With humor, candor, and conviction, he connects global politics, spiritual clarity, and constitutional duty, reminding listeners they were born for this moment.

The Army is initiating massive organizational reforms for how it buys new weapons and capabilities in an effort to drastically shorten procurement timelines and promote innovation, according to top service officials. Announced Friday, the Army's acquisition portfolio overhaul will consolidate the service's program executive offices (PEOs) responsible for buying new weapons into six new offices called “portfolio acquisition executives” (PAEs). The plan also creates a new office dedicated to rapidly injecting and scaling emerging technologies into Army formations. The transformation comes after Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth announced his intent to revamp acquisition processes across the entire Pentagon on Nov. 7, as well as an April directive from Hegseth that called on the Army to consolidate many aspects of the service — including its procurement organizations. Army Secretary Dan Driscoll told reporters Wednesday ahead of the announcement that the new structure aims to mimic best practices from private industry, creating a new system that accepts risk and streamlines capability delivery. The Defense Department's civilian employees whose pay was impacted by the record-setting government shutdown and lapse in appropriations that ended this week are expecting to receive their missed paychecks retroactively. However, questions are swirling about the Pentagon's plans as it reopened Thursday — including the timeline for that out-of-cycle backpay process, whether it will arrive in the form of lump sum payments, and more. According to a new policy memorandum from the White House Office of Personnel Management issued Wednesday after President Donald Trump signed legislation to fund the government: “Federal employees who did not receive pay because of the lapse in appropriations that began on October 1, 2025, must receive retroactive pay at the employee's standard rate of pay for the lapse period as soon as possible after the lapse ends,” pursuant to the U.S. Code. That guidance applies explicitly to the department's personnel affected by the lapse who were either furloughed or performed excepted work activities. Service members and some DOD civilians designated “essential” reported to work during the shutdown — but only military officials were paid. More than 1 million federal employees reportedly missed one partial and two full paychecks during this shutdown, which caused serious financial strain for public servants across the nation. Several reports surfaced this week regarding when the Pentagon might begin processing paychecks and how soon they could start to arrive. The DOD did not appear to publicly release final, comprehensive guidance with details on its workforce repayment schedule and plans.

In this episode of Finding Common Battle Grounds, we tackle three topics. We start with a discussion of Zohran Mamdani's election as Mayor of New York City. Josh and Tom are really disturbed that so many people were willing to elect a democratic socialist. Ryan is fine with it. When pressed, Josh and Tom seem to be okay with some of the specific actions Mamdani wants to take (e.g., free child care), though not all of them (e.g., rent control and free buses). But their bigger concern is that they think democratic socialism is a slippery slope into communism, which Ryan points out is not the case (c.f. every other developed country on the planet). Ultimately, we agree that Mamdani won't be able to institute most of the changes he wants because of the oligarchs who really run the US. Josh then dropped a surprise topic on us: White Christian Nationalism. We ignore the "white" in this label and focus on Christian Nationalism. Ryan explains what it means: that you prioritize your nation above all others AND believe that your nation should be Christian. The implication is that anyone other than Christians will be second-class citizens without equal rights to Christians. Josh and Tom seem fine with that, even when Ryan directly confronts them and asks them if they think he should not have the same rights they have. They seemed reluctant to answer that question directly. Finally, we turned to the bombing of boats off the coast of Venezuela by the US military. Ryan brought this up because it is illegal, unethical, and reflects the shocking level of moral depravity of Pete Hegseth and the Trump Administration; they are gleefully killing people without a trial to demonstrate their guilt. Josh agrees it is wrong, but only because it is really just an attempt to start a war or regime change in Venezuela. Tom thinks it's fine to send a message to drug traffickers (even though roughly 2% of drugs that enter the US come from Venezuela). Ryan cannot fathom how someone can believe they should have the authority to take other people's lives when they are not being violently attacked (perhaps he's becoming a pacifist as a result of this podcast).

Atlantikem pluje mimořádně vybavená letadlová loď USS Gerald R. Ford. Podle všeho míří do Karibiku, aby u pobřeží Venezuely pomohla bojovat s pašeráky drog. A navíc americký ministr obrany Pete Hegseth oznámil zahájení vojenské operace Jižní kopí. „Hlavním cílem operace jsou tři body. První je projekce vlivu Spojených států na jižní polokouli, druhým je boj proti narkoteroristům a třetím snaha o ukončení režimu prezidenta Madura,“ říká bezpečnostní expert Vlastislav Bříza.

– Kryzys opioidowy zabił setki tysięcy Amerykanów. Teraz administracja Trumpa chce odpowiedzieć siłą – relacjonuje korespondent Radia Wnet. U wybrzeży Wenezueli znajduje się amerykański lotniskowiec. Stany Zjednoczone są już w pełnej gotowości do dokonania powietrznych uderzeń na cele lądowe w Wenezueli– mówi korespondent Radia Wnet Tomasz Grzywaczewski. To element nowej amerykańskiej operacji przeciw kartelom narkotykowym.Południowa Włócznia uderzy a kartele?Sekretarz wojny Pete Hegseth ogłosił rozpoczęcie operacji „Południowa Włócznia”, której celem ma być walka z narkoterrorystami w całej Ameryce Łacińskiej. Grzywaczewski podkreśla, że do wybrzeży Wenezueli dotarła już grupa uderzeniowa lotniskowca USS Gerald Ford, a w regionie znajdują się amerykańskie okręty, łódź podwodna i samoloty F-35.Nie ma decyzji o bombardowaniach, ale zgromadzony potencjał wskazuje, że takie uderzenia są bardzo możliwe. Celem może być nie tylko infrastruktura karteli, ale także obalenie reżimu Nicolása Maduro– ocenia korespondent.Narkotykowi terroryściUSA uznały wcześniej kartele za organizacje terrorystyczne, co daje podstawy prawne do operacji wojskowych. Sam Maduro – jak przypomina Grzywaczewski – jest oskarżany o kierowanie „państwowym kartelem narkotykowym”. Stany Zjednoczone wyznaczyły nagrodę 50 mln dolarów za jego ujęcie.Korespondent wskazuje, że działania militarne są reakcją na katastrofalny kryzys opioidowy w USA.Fentanyl i inne opioidy doprowadziły do śmierci setek tysięcy Amerykanów. To kryzys, jakiego ten kraj nie widział– mówi.Kryzys opioidowy i Purdue PharmaPrzypomina też, że początkiem epidemii opioidowej była legalna działalność firmy Purdue Pharma, która masowo wprowadzała na rynek lek OxyContin jako „bezpieczny”, mimo gigantycznego potencjału uzależniającego.To był skandal niewyobrażalnej skali– dodaje.Według Grzywaczewskiego USA mogą w kolejnych dniach rozpocząć działania militarne nie tylko w Wenezueli, ale w całej Ameryce Południowej w ramach południowego dowództwa armii.

“Leave aside the cruelty of not giving these funds out,” Andrew says, reflecting on the SNAP benefits case now before the Supreme Court. “What does it say that we're not prioritizing hunger as an issue?” Then, Mary brings listeners up to speed on the dizzying chain of events since Friday and where the SNAP case stands, even as the Senate and House appear to be moving towards reopening the government. And in honoring Veterans Day, Mary and Andrew dig into several issues affecting service members, including the latest filing in Trump v Illinois, and how to think about the term "regular forces", plus Judge Immergut's final order prohibiting the National Guard deployment in Portland.

Closing it would set a dangerous precedent for other small farmers and local food producers across Ohio. An appeal hearing is scheduled at Sharonville City Hall on Wednesday, November 12th at 6:30pm. I'll be there. For more info, please visit Cincy Urban Farm**Group Directory - The Visibility Brigade: Resistance is Possible**Vote Yes 836 - Oklahoma is gathering signatures**How to Organize a Bearing Witness Standout**Indiana teacher snitch portal - Eyes on Education**Find Your Representative | house.gov, Contacting U.S. SenatorsFrom The Good Newsnhmarf.orgMutual Aid HubCincy Urban FarmAndrea GibsonLaurelwood Golf CourseDana Goldberg Outrageous Tour - November 14th Chicago Our Donation LinksNational Security Counselors - Donate, MSW Media, Blue Wave CA Victory Fund | ActBlue, WhistleblowerAid.org/beansFederal workers - email AG at fedoath@pm.me and let me know what you're going to do, or just vent.

Hertling offers hard-hitting analysis and real-world leadership lessons that matter now more than ever.

Tara exposes the hidden forces reshaping America's military, politics, and justice system.

On the political front, Tara dissects New York Mayor-elect Zoran Mamdani's Marxist-leaning agenda, revealing the masked truths behind his campaign persona. The investigation culminates with a shocking dive into the January 6 Capitol pipe bombing, where evidence suggests a Capitol Police officer planted the bombs and the FBI obstructed the investigation, raising alarming questions about accountability, cover-ups, and the deep state. In this explosive episode, Tara examines the intersection of military, political, and law enforcement failures in America. She discusses Pete Hegseth's efforts to remove incompetent military leaders post-Afghanistan disaster, critiques the ideological shifts under Obama, and emphasizes the need for combat-experienced leaders in strategic positions. Shifting to politics, she exposes New York Mayor-elect Zoran Mamdani's Marxist agenda and its implications for class warfare. The episode culminates with a deep dive into the January 6 Capitol pipe bombing, where Blaze News forensic analysis suggests a Capitol Police officer planted the bombs while the FBI obstructed the investigation for years—hinting at a potential inside job. Tara unpacks these interconnected events, revealing the hidden currents shaping power, accountability, and ideology in America today.

Acting! The Kagro in the Morning Players, Messrs. David Waldman and Greg Dworkin, debut the first of their one-act plays: "It's Not So Bad, When You Look at It". Did Dems underreach? Will Gops overreach? Well, that is what they do. Today is for replays and takeaways. It's not over yet, and there's plenty more to come. Now, will Donald K. Trump's next move be cruel, or stupid? Of course, it will be both. Trump can't bribe himself into popularity… not in this economy. ICE'S not yet being welcomed as liberators. Russia hunts civilians with drones, while Pete Hegseth says, "Hold my beer." Trump is being forced to share his food with others, and you can imagine how that makes him feel. The goal is to herd most Americans into ghettos, and the rest into fortresses, perhaps not the future most desire. Kash Patel keeps leaving spies out in the cold. Who needs intelligence when you have loyalty? That sure works for Alexander Smirnov, who was disappeared, but in a good way. Rudy Giuliani and his gang of fake electors got fake pardons they can pin to the walls of their state cells. SCOTUS declined to revisit their same-sex marriage decision filed by OG Karen, Kentucky county clerk Kim Davis, because really, no one wants to give her any more time.

Nuclear Testing, Venezuela Buildup, and Gaza Occupation. Colonel Jeff McCausland criticizes Secretary Hegseth's suggestion that resuming nuclear testing would make nuclear war "less likely," noting that the US deterrent is already credible and testing would destabilize adversaries. He highlights the excessive US military buildup near Venezuela, questioning the post-intervention mission, referencing the "Pottery Barn theory." Regarding Gaza, he suggests the potential creation of "two Gazas" leads to an indefinite, burdensome Israeli occupation and creates a breeding ground for future insurgency. 1953 NEVADA TEST RANGE

This week on Sinica, I chat with Lizzi Lee, a fellow on the Chinese economy at the Asia Society Policy Institute and one of the sharpest China analysts working today. We dig into the 4th Plenary Session of the 20th Party Congress and what it reveals about China's evolving growth model — particularly the much-discussed but often misunderstood push against "involution" in key sectors like EVs and solar. Lizzi walks us through the structural incentives driving overcompetition, from local government finance and VAT collection to the challenges of rebalancing supply and demand. We also discuss her recent Foreign Affairs piece on China's manufacturing model, why "overcapacity" is a misleading frame, the unexpected upsides of China's industrial strategy for the global green transition, and what happened at the Trump-Xi meeting in Busan. This is a conversation about getting beyond the binaries and understanding the actual mechanisms — and contradictions — shaping China's economic trajectory.4:43 – What Western reporting missed in the 4th Plenum communique 6:34 – The "anti-involution" push and what it really means 9:57 – Is China's domestic demand abnormally low?

One of the most time-tested principles in international affairs is the prescription “If you want peace, prepare for war.”  Since he became Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth has been clear about the most serious threat against which we must prepare – namely, that posed by the Chinese Communist Party.  The long-awaited National Defense Strategy reportedly will emphasize that reality. Secretary Hegseth told senior military leaders recently there would be “no rear areas” in the next war –presumably, because of the large numbers of Chinese soldiers here.  And on Saturday, Secretary Hegseth warned Asian nations of the imperative of improving “threat awareness” and maritime capabilities in the face of China's increasingly “destabilizing” and “coercive” actions in the South China Sea.   If you want “everlasting peace” with China, prepare for war – and help bring down the greatest threat we've ever faced: the Chinese Communist Party. This is Frank Gaffney.

The guest host for today's show is Brad Bannon. Brad runs Bannon Communications Research, a polling, message development and media firm which helps labor unions, progressive issue groups and Democratic candidates win public affairs and political campaigns. His show, 'Deadline D.C. with Brad Bannon,' airs every Monday from 3-4pm ET. Brad is first joined by CNN Military Analyst Cedric Leighton. Col. Leighton (USAF-Ret.) provides his expert analysis on President Trump restarting U.S. nuclear weapons testing for the first time in 33 years. They also discuss Trump and Pete Hegseth's missile attacks on fishing boats in foreign waters, the President's East Asia trip, a potential trade deal with China, and more. Brad is then joined by New York Times investigative reporter Kenneth P. Vogel. The two discuss Ken's new book, "DEVILS' ADVOCATES: The Hidden Story of Rudy Giuliani, Hunter Biden, and the Washington Insiders on the Payrolls of Corrupt Foreign Interest." The book shines a spotlight on one of the most shadowy and impactful industries in U.S. politics—the foreign influence business. Drawing on exclusive sources, thousands of documents, and on-the-ground reporting, Vogel pulls back the curtain on this billion-dollar business that spans the partisan spectrum and secretly shapes U.S. foreign policy, while often flouting American values like human rights and democracy. Col. Cedric Leighton is the Founder and President of Cedric Leighton Associates, a strategic risk and leadership consultancy serving global companies and organizations.
