Hey folks,
Pete Hegseth apparently thinks he could be President of the United States.
Yes. Seriously.
New reporting says people in Hegseth’s orbit are encouraging him to consider a 2028 run. Meanwhile, he’s dealing with the fallout from his attempt to livestream a military execution, defending the disastrous war in Iran, and giving Trump more reasons to eventually make him the scapegoat for everything going wrong.
[00:01:05] We dig into the wild new reporting that Pete Hegseth is considering a political future, including a possible run for president in 2028.
[00:04:08] J.D. Vance gets asked about his own presidential ambitions, and I explain why a MAGA primary without Trump could become an absolute bloodbath.
[00:07:55] Hegseth’s push to livestream a military execution reportedly overlaps with his political ambitions, and completely misreads what the American public actually wants.
[00:10:46] Why I think Trump could eventually turn on Hegseth and make him the scapegoat for the war, the political fallout, and a disastrous midterm election.
[00:14:38] We get to the part that isn’t funny: reporting that the Pentagon plans to delay an internal report about a deadly school strike in Iran until after the midterms.
A Pete Hegseth presidential campaign sounds absurd. But the bigger story is what his ambition tells us about the people Trump has elevated, and how quickly they’re already positioning themselves for whatever comes next. We have an election in two weeks. Democrats need to win, start demanding accountability, and make sure this movement doesn’t simply reinvent itself with a new face in 2028. If you value independent media that keeps exposing the corruption, incompetence, and chaos, help me keep doing it.
