GOD'S COUNTRY WHICH MEANS IT'S TIME FOR "FOX NEWS PRIMETIME" I'M YOUR HOST PETE HEGSETH TONIGHT AND THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK OVER OTHER NETWORK IS OBSESSING OVER YESTERDAY'S NEWS. THE CONGRESSMAN WOMAN FROM D.C., LOUISIANA CHENEY HER TIME IS UP, PIE BYE. MAYBE THAT'S THE STORY THE DEMOCRATS AND THEIR FRIENDS IN THE MEDIA WANT US TO BE COVERING. THE SHINY OBJECT DISTRACTION IS A VERY POWERFUL DEVICE AND WE FALL FOR IT OFTEN. WHAT IF I TOLD YOU INSTEAD A FAR MORE SINISTER AND DANGEROUS EFFORT IS UNDERWAY RIGHT UNDER OUR NOSES RIGHT NOW AT THE PENTAGON? SOMETHING I KNOW A LITTLE BIT ABOUT. I HAVE BEEN IN THE MILITARY FOR THE BETTER PART OF TWO DECADES. I WAS IN THE ARMY NATIONAL GUARD UNTIL LAST MONTH. WE ALL SAW THIS COMING. AND NOW IT'S HERE. THIS ♪ JUST THE WOKE MILITARY STUFF YOU HAVE BEEN HEARING ABOUT. THIS IS NOT EXTREMISM STANDDOWN OR A SOCIAL DISTANCING READING LIST OR EVEN A FOOLISH CIA RECRUITMENT VIDEO WE HAVE ALL SEEN BY NOW. THIS IS WORSE. THIS IS WAY WORSE. THIS, MY FRIENDS, IS A PURGE. A PURGE OF THE DEFENSE DEPARTMENT LED BY A NEW AND NOW POWERFUL RADICAL LEFTISTS. A 1619 PROJECT ACTIVIST, A HARD CORE SOCIAL DISTANCING DEMOCRAT. A MAN WHO BELIEVES ALL, ALL TRUMP SUPPORTERS ARE RACIST AND EXTREMISTS. AND WHAT MUST WE DO TO RACISTS? WE MUST DEFINE THEM AND THEN WE MUST PURGE THEM. SO WHO IS THE PENTAGON'S NEWLY MEANTED MAGA PURGE MAN? WELL, MEET BISHOP GARRISON, THE NEW SENIOR ADVISER TO THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE. HIS PORTFOLIO IS DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION. BUT HIS PURVIEW IS MUCH WIDER. NEVER HEARD OF HIM? ME NEITHER. THEY LIKE IT THAT WAY. BISHOP GARRISON HAS BEEN AT THE JOB AT THE PENTAGON FOR FOUR MONTHS NOW HIRED IN THE WAKE OF THE EVENTS OF JANUARY 6TH. THE ONGOING AND ULTIMATE JUSTIFICATION. THEY SENT 25,000 TROOPS TO THE CAPITOL, BUILT A WALL AROUND IT, AND NOW THE REST BEGINS. ACCORDING TO AN OFFICIAL DEFENSE DEPARTMENT MEMO SIGNED ON APRIL 9TH, LESS THAN A MONTH AGO, BY THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE, LLOYD AUSTIN HIMSELF, BISHOP GARRISON IS NOW IN CHARGE OF COUNTERING EXTREMISM WORKING GROUP. THE GROUP'S FIRST MEETING WAS APRIL 14TH. THEY MEET WEEKLY. MAYBE THEY MET TODAY. THERE IS WORK TO BE DONE. THE PENTAGON'S COUNTERING EXTREMISM WORKING GROUP, WHICH IS A TOP DEFENSE DEPARTMENT PRIORITY IS IMMEDIATELY CHARGED WITH THE FOLLOWING. GET THIS. REVIVING THE DEFINITION OF PROHIBITED EXTREMIST ACTIVITIES. CREATING A REPORTING PROCESS FOR VETS, SOLDIERS WHO HAVE LEFT THE FORCE TO REPORT EXTREMIST GROUPS. SO NOW WE HAVE A VETERAN SPY NETWORK ESSENTIALLY. AND FORMING YET ANOTHER COMMISSION TO STUDY EXTREMIST BEHAVIOR IN THE MILITARY. THERE'S MORE. THIS WORKING GROUP WILL ALSO RECOMMEND CHANGING THE MILITARY JUSTICE SYSTEM IN ORDER TO ADDRESS EXTREMISM. GOOD. WOKE JUSTICE. ENHANCE THE MILITARY'S INSIDER THREATS PROGRAMS TO REPORT CONCERNING BEHAVIORS. THIS USED TO BE FOR, SAY, FOREIGN SPIES? I'VE DONE THE TRAINING BUT NOT ANYMORE. WE HAVE NEW INSIDER THREATS. SCREENING PUBLICLY AVAILABLE INFORMATION ON NEW RECRUITS WITH CONTINUOUS VETTING TO INCLUDE ALGORITHMS INTO SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNTS. BETTER CHECK YOUR KID'S PHONE IF YOU WANT HIM OR HER TO BE A STAFF SERGEANT SOME DAY. I HOPE THEY DIDN'T TIKTOK ABOUT TRUMP OR CALL THE ELECTION RIGGED. THE RECRUITER WILL NOT TOLERATE THAT. AND FINALLY, THEY ARE GOING TO UPDATE ALL TRAINING, ESPECIALLY ON GRAY AREAS SUCH AS READING, FOLLOWING, OR LIKING EXTREMIST MATERIAL ONLINE. CATCHALL THAT? THEY ARE GOING TO REDEFINE EXTREMISM, EMPOWER VETERANS TO SURVEIL EACH OTHER, REEVALUATE HOT REAL INSIDER THREATS ARE. SCREEN THE SOCIAL MEDIA OF NEW MILITARY RECRUITS AND UPDATE ALL TRAINING MATERIALS. OH, BUT THE BIG QUESTION IS WHO IS DECIDING WHAT'S EXTREME? WELL, BISHOP GARRISON, OF COURSE, WITH THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE RIGHT BEHIND HIM. NOW, BISHOP GARRISON IS A WEST POINT GRAD, SERVED TWO OVERSEAS TOURS AND HOLD TWO BRONZE STARS IT FOR HIS SERVICE AND WE SINCERELY THANK HIM FOR THAT BUT WHAT DOES BISHOP GARRISON BELIEVE TODAY AS A CIVILIAN? IS HE REALLY RADICAL? MAYBE HE IS JUST ANOTHER, YOU KNOW, HILLARY CLINTON OR BIDEN-HARRIS STAFFER WHICH HE WAS. HOW DO I PUT THIS? THE WHITE HOUSE JUST PUT THE EQUIVALENT OF EBRAHIM X CONTENDY THE AUTHOR OF HOW TO BE AN ANTI RACIST IN CHARGE OF VETTING THE ENTIRE U.S. MILITARY. PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE. A BELIEVER THAT OUR FOUNDING WAS IN 1619 WILL NOW BE VETTING OUR ARMED SERVICES A FEW OF WHICH GO BACK TO 1776. AND SINCE WE ARE IN THE MOOD FOR VETTING THE MILITARY, LET'S CHECK A FEW OF BISHOP GARRISON'S PAST TWEETS AND THERE ARE A LOT OF THEM. JULY OF 2019, FOR EXAMPLE, THE PENTAGON'S BRAND NEW SENIOR ADVISER SENT THESE TWO TWEETS SUPPORT FOR HIM, MEANING TRUMP, A RACIST, IS SUPPORT FOR ALL HIS BELIEFS. ALSO TWEETING HE IS DRAGGING A LOT OF BAD ACTORS, MISOGYNISTS, EXTREMISTS AND RACISTS OUT INTO THE LIGHT NORMALIZING THEIR ACTION. IF YOU SUPPORT THE PRESIDENT, YOU SUPPORT THAT. THERE IS NO ROOM FOR NUANCES WITH THIS. THERE IS NO ROOM FOR NUANCES. IF YOU SUPPORT THE PRESIDENT, YOU SUPPORT EXTREMISTS AND RACISTS. YOU SUPPORT ALL OF HIS BELIEFS AS WE DEFINE THEM. CRYSTAL CLEAR. BISHOP GARRISON SAID FAR WORSE ABOUT TRUMP FOR YEARS. BUFF THAT'S NOT THE POINT. THE SCARY PART IS WHAT HE BELIEVES ABOUT ANYONE WHO SUPPORTS TRUMP. YOU ARE RACIST. YOU ARE AN EXTREMIST. THE EQUATION IS SIMPLE FOR BISHOP GARRISON. IF YOU SUPPORT TRUMP, AND SUPPORTING TRUMP MAKES YOU A RACIST AND EXTREME, THEN IN THE WORLD OF BISHOP GARRISON, TRUMP SUPPORTERS ARE DE FACTO EXTREMISTS. NO NUANCES. NO QUESTION. NO CORRIDOR. THIS ISN'T ABOUT WHITE SUPREMACY OR WHITE NATIONALISM. THOSE VIEWS AND TATTOOS HAVE BEEN BANNED IN THE MILITARY FOR A LONG TIME. IF I HAD A WHITE SUPREMACIST OR RACIST IN MY INFILL TRI PLATOON I COULD AND WOULD KICK THEM OUT. I WOULD HAVE THE DUTY. BUT I DIDN'T HAVE TO BECAUSE IT WASN'T AN ISSUE. I SERVED WITH BLACK, BROWN, AND WHITE SOLDIERS. BUT IN ALL HONESTY, ALL I EVER SAW WAS ARMY GREEN THAT'S WHAT THE ARMY TAUGHT ME AND THAT'S HOW I LED ME MAN. FOR BISHOP GARRISON ALL HE SEES IS RED. MAGA RED. BUT, PETE, THIS IS JUST A STUDY TO, YOU KNOW, COMMITTEE TO STUDY EXTREMISM. NOT POLITICAL PERSUASION. OH, REALLY? THINK AGAIN. IT ACTUALLY GETS WORSE. IN MARCH OF THIS YEAR, ELITE 17-PAGE DARPA IT IS THE PENTAGON RESEARCH LAB MARKED CLASSIFIED OUTLINED EXTREMISM AND INSIDER THREATS TO THE DID. OD. THE DOCUMENT IS VERY STARTLING AND WOULD BE RESOURCE MATERIAL FOR BISHOP GARRISON. IT'S THE TYPE OF FERTILE DOD CULTURAL SOIL HE IS STANDING ON RIGHT NOW. NOT ONLY DOES THIS DOCUMENT ASSERT THAT EXTREMISM IS RAMPANT IN THE MILITARY, SUGGESTS A NEW FORM OF EXTREMISM I HAD NEVER HEARD OF IN THE MILITARY CALLED PATRIOT EXTREMISM. THE DOCUMENT DEFINES PATRIOT EXTREMISM AS THIS IDEOLOGY HOLDS THAT THE U.S. GOVERNMENT HAS BECOME CORRUPT HAS OVERSTEPPED ITS CONSTITUTIONAL BOUNDARIES WHO IS NO LONGER CAPABLE OF PROTECTING THE PEOPLE AGAINST FOREIGN THREATS. WAIT, SO THINKING THE U.S. GOVERNMENT IS CORRUPT HAS OVERSTEPPED ITS CONSTITUTIONAL BOUNDARIES AND CAN'T DEFEAT FOREIGN THREATS MAKES YOU AN EXTREMIST? THOSE VIEWS ARE MAINSTREAM CONSERVATIVE THINKING TODAY. THOSE ARE DANGEROUS, DANGEROUS WORDS. OR MAYBE THAT'S THE POINT. WE'RE ALL RADICALS. MAY I REFER YOU, DARPA, SAY, TO THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE? THE DOCUMENT GOES ON TO NAME ANARCHISTS AND RACISTS AS WELL AND USES THIS PHOTO COLLAGE OF EXTREMIST SYMBOLS. MANY OF THESE SYMBOLS ARE RACIST OR ANARCHIST BUT COME AND TAKE IT? YOU SEE THAT FLAG IN THE UPPER LEFT CORNER THAT'S AS COMMON AS A MILITARY PHRASE OR TATTOO OR T-SHIRT AS YOU ARE EVER GOING TO SEE ON PRIVATE MURPHY. IN FACT, I HAVE TWO T-SHIRTS OF THAT AT MY HOUSE. NOT INCLUDING THIS ONE THAT WAS A LIGHTER AT THE START OF COVID-19 DON'T TAKE MY TOILET PAPER. IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT JANUARY 6TH OR PRESIDENT TRUMP. WOKE PC AND CURRICULUM TAUGHT TO KIDS THESE DAYS THE U.S. MILITARY IS REALLY FULL OF EXTREMISTS AND RACISTS. MAYBE I JUST MISSED IT. OF COURSE NOT. ON APRIL 20TH OF THIS YEAR, LESS THAN A MONTH AGO, TWO OF AMERICA'S TOP GENERALS THE HEAD OF U.S. STRATEGIC COMMAND AND THE HEAD OF U.S. SPACE COMMAND TESTIFIED BEFORE THE SENATE ARMED SERVICES COMMITTEE. BOTH WERE ASKED IF EXTREMISM IS A PROBLEM IN THEIR RANKS. >> I AM VERY CONFIDENT THAT THE NUMBER OF EXTREMISTS IN MY FORCES IS ZERO. IF THERE ARE ANY EXTREMISTS IN MY ORGANIZATION, ONE, THEY HIDE IT VERY WELL. AND, TWO, IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME UNTIL I GET TO THEM. >> I WOULD TELL YOU RIGHT NOW THAT WE HAVE DONE EVERYTHING THAT SECRETARY AUSTIN HAS ASKED US TO DO IN TERMS OF TRAINING AND AWARENESS. BUT, IN MY ORGANIZATION, I WOULD SAY THAT NUMBER IS ZERO. THROUGHOUT MY CAREER, I HAVE NOT SEEN THAT. SO, I BELIEVE IT'S CLOSE TO ZERO IN MY ORGANIZATION IF NOT ZERO. >> Pete: ZERO OR CLOSE TO ZERO. AND IF WE FIND THEM, WE WILL GET THEM. NOT GOOD ENOUGH. WHO IS DISPATCHED TO QUICKLY DISPEL THOSE FOOLISH NOTIONS? YOU GUESSED IT, BISHOP GARRISON. >> WE WOULD BE REMISS IF WE DIDN'T ADMIT TO THE FACT THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH EXTREMIST BEHAVIOR WITHIN THE MILITARY. THAT IS TO SAY THAT ONE EXTREMIST IS ONE TOO MANY. >> THE PURGE IS COMING. THEY SEE THEIR OPENING. THEY HAVE THE POWER. AND THEY HAVE THEIR MEN IN THE RIGHT PLACES. THEY SAY EXTREMISM IS A HUGE PROBLEM. THEIR MAN SAYS TRUMP SUPPORTERS ARE EXTREMISTS, FULL STOP. SO WHERE DOES THAT LEAVE TRUMP SUPPORTERS, PATRIOTS, AND CONSERVATIVES IN THE MILITARY TODAY? VETTED, CLOSETED, OR WORSE KICKED OUT. THE LEFT KNOWS THAT THE MILITARY IS ONE OF THE LAST TRADITIONAL AGGRESSIVE VALUE-BASED ORGANIZATIONS IN AMERICA. SO THEY MUST DISMANTLE IT AS WELL. IT STARTED UNDER OBAMA. NOW IT'S ON HYPER SPEED.
