He believes this is the road to peace and prosperity.

The transcript portrays a chaotic confrontation during a congressional hearing on U.S. involvement in a war tied to Israel and Iran. The speakers push a stance that America does not want to fight this war for Israel, repeatedly asserting that “America does not wanna fight this war for Israel” and “America does not wanna fight this war in Iran, and the soldiers don't. Right?” They claim there is a war in Iran and that “our military brothers and sisters are going to die for Israel,” insisting that they do not want to die for Israel and urging to “Stop the war in Iran right now.” Throughout, Speaker 0 and Speaker 1 heckle the officials, describing the officials as robots and criticizing their focus, with expressions like “Look at you guys. You're robots. A US senator. You won't even look back” and “What is happening right now? I front robots. Shame.” They demand that those at the hearing “please cooperate with us” and “go behind the line,” while noting that the audience should be cleared and the hallways opened. A Marine veteran interrupts the hearing, drawing attention to the dissent. The veteran, identified later as Brian McGinnis, is described as interrupting the hearing because “there is a war in Iran, and our military brothers and sisters are going to die for Israel, and we are here to say no. We do not support Israel. We do not wanna die for Israel. Stop the war in Iran right now.” The confrontation becomes physical: “they pulled him out, got his arm trapped in a door, broke his arm, like, tackled him to the ground.” He is reported to have suffered a broken left arm, and there is an impassioned plea for medical attention as others note, “What did they do to him?” and “He broke his arm.” Witnesses describe the scene as “very intense” and express anger toward those at the hearing, calling them “cowards” for not facing the interruption. There is a recurring theme of opposition to intervention: “Palestine will be free,” referenced in the chant “From the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli. Palestine will be free.” The speakers repeatedly reiterate that they do not want to fight for Israel and that they oppose both the war in Iran and the broader U.S. commitment to military action in the region. The exchange ends with a insistence to move people aside to allow passage and to maintain order, while the speakers emphasize their demand that the United States should not engage in the war in Iran or fight for Israel.

The fight to defend the guard has exposed deep corruption, lies, and backroom deals. Senator Wendy Rogers introduced Defend the Guard legislation, aiming to prevent our military from being used in undeclared foreign wars. However, Brigadier General John Connolly opposed the bill, raising national security concerns, even baselessly claiming Arizona would lose funding. Despite his incoherent arguments, the bill passed committee, however Senator Kevin Payne attempted to sway Senator Dunn's vote. Fortunately, Senator Dunn stood strong, helping the bill pass the committee. We're now heading to the full Senate for a vote, so please, contact your senators, we need volunteers to help make calls, and show up when this goes to the house to get this done.

Fighting. He's fighting. They're trying to put him in jail on top of everything else. He's Nuts. He's a war hero because we work together. He's a war hero. I guess I am too. Yep.

The speaker emphasizes the need to compel Iraq to destroy its weapons of mass destruction and expresses belief that the resolution is a march towards peace and security. Another speaker criticizes Joe Biden for his role in the Iraq war, stating that he used his position as chair of the foreign relations committee to ensure the war was authorized. It is mentioned that Biden prevented experts from testifying and controlled the senate debate, leading to distorted information. Additionally, Biden opposed an amendment that would have required further authorization for the war. The speaker concludes that Biden's actions played a major role in getting the war resolution passed.

In 2004, as a National Guard veteran, support for OEF was lacking upon return. Progress has been made in mental health awareness, but more is needed. Mr. Kennedy is advancing mental health parity, following Senator Wellstone's advocacy. Discrimination against soldiers admitting mental health struggles persists due to lack of training. As a first sergeant, I understand the importance of addressing this issue.

Donald Trump’s cabinet nominee, Pete Hegseth, received a standing ovation from veterans at his hearing, despite some protests. Hegseth emphasized that military matters should remain nonpartisan and expressed a need for change in leadership at the Pentagon. He defended his qualifications and experience, highlighting his work with veterans' organizations and legislative successes. Throughout the hearing, he maintained his composure against aggressive questioning from Democrats, who attempted to undermine his character. Hegseth argued for accountability in military leadership and criticized the current bureaucratic structure. He concluded by expressing his love for the country and dedication to supporting warfighters, emphasizing that his commitment goes beyond his media persona.

Back in 2019, I was charged with war crimes and faced life in prison. While my family and teammates worked to expose the lies surrounding my case, Dan Crenshaw's name kept surfacing. Despite being a former SEAL, Crenshaw initially said he'd wait and see, then later claimed there wasn't enough information to help. While 50 congressmen signed a petition for my release, Crenshaw wrote his own petition to keep me imprisoned but allow me to see my lawyers. After I was found not guilty, I ran into Crenshaw at an event, but he ignored me. I later learned he actively worked against me, telling congressmen I was guilty and to butt out. Crenshaw's a liar, and I can prove it with emails and documents. This isn't about me; it's about the American people knowing who they're voting for. Just because someone is a SEAL or was wounded in combat doesn't automatically make them a good person.

I testified before Congress about a plan to create a veteran organization to intimidate the government and undermine democracy. I shared what I knew to protect our democratic institutions, like the right to vote, free speech, and press, which are essential for a strong democracy.

The transcript depicts a chaotic moment at a hearing where protesters voice strong anti-war sentiment and opposition to backing Israel. Speaker 0 opens by claiming, “Reason for this war. America does not wanna fight this war for Israel. Let's go. Come on. Let's go.” They assert that America does not want to stop its sons and daughters from fighting for Israel and criticize others for not naming that reality, declaring, “Your inability to name that shows you the effectiveness as leaders. Out. This is wrong. No. And nobody wants to fight for Israel.” Speaker 1 reacts with shock, asking, “Oh my god. What is happening? And you're not even looking back. Any of you four star generals.” The mood devolves into chaos as people shout, sit down, and attempt to manage the disruption. Speaker 2 expresses alarm, while Speaker 0 and Speaker 1 direct people to clear the hallways and manage the disruption, with exchanges about someone being stuck and the crowd reacting to the commotion. During the turmoil, the crowd tries to help a person who appears to be injured, and the scene escalates with phrases like, “That’s the pressure. Oh my god.” Speaker 0 insists on moving people aside and managing the situation, stating, “Would y’all just move aside then? That way people can still lay there.” In the midst of the disturbance, Speaker 1 announces, “We just witnessed a marine veteran interrupting the hearing, and they broke his arm. Why did he interrupt the hearing? Because there is a war in Iran, and our military brothers and sisters are going to die for Israel, and we are here to say no. We do not support Israel. We do not wanna die for Israel. Stop the war in Iran right now.” The accounts describe the veteran being tackled to the ground, his arm trapped in a door, and having it broken, with witnesses stating it was a “very, very intense situation.” The veteran is identified by Speaker 1 as Brian McGinnis, who is running for Senate in North Carolina, although Speaker 1 is unsure about acknowledging his affiliation with any organization. The crowd labels those who acted with the reporters as “cowards.” After the incident, Speaker 0 invites cooperation with authorities and asks the injured to move to allow passage, while Speaker 2 notes, “America does not wanna fight this war in Iran, and the soldiers don't. Right?” The closing sentiment echoes the protesters’ position: “America does not wanna fight this war in Iran, and the soldiers don't. Right?” The overall narrative centers on opposition to U.S. involvement in Iran, opposition to supporting Israel, and the violent disruption of a hearing, including a marine veteran’s injury and arrest.

Speaker 1 describes a decision to follow conscience after twenty years in the military, mostly deployed to the Middle East. He explains that after multiple deployments he realized “we weren't there for the reasons that our government told us” and that there was no vital national interest in the current fight. He made a promise to himself about twenty years ago not to send young Americans off to die on foreign battlefields if he ever had a position of responsibility. When given that opportunity, he decided to resign, stating he did not want to send others to die in wars he believed were not in the nation’s interest. Speaker 0 notes their Catholic faith and mentions recent comments by the Holy Father highlighting concerns for innocent civilians harmed by conflict, including the killing of Father Pierre in Lebanon. The question is asked whether faith community or religious leaders’ support has helped. Speaker 1 responds that the support has been huge and that the resignation gained more traction than he expected. He emphasizes that although the decision was not made lightly, faith helped him hear “God's voice” and guided him to take action, which made the act feel easy and liberating. Speaker 0 asks if Speaker 1 has hope for America. Speaker 1 affirms having a great deal of hope, calling this an exciting moment. He highlights the power of technology to connect like‑minded people and give them a voice, despite potential downsides. He notes the significant presence and enthusiasm of young people in the room, expressing optimism about the next generation. Speaker 1 outlines what he believes must happen moving forward: during the midterm season and as the war progresses, people should be on their knees in prayer, then take action once upright. He argues that leaders must hear the public’s stance against this war and the lack of a vital national security interest, calling for the troops to come home and for efforts toward peace in the region. He asserts a desire to avoid “twenty plus more years of bloodletting” and urges people from all political parties to pressure representatives to oppose continued overseas wars. Speaker 1 clarifies that he is not advocating pacifism; if the country is attacked or there is an imminent threat, actions will be taken. The core message is that the nation must not continue down the current path, and making this stance clear to leaders is essential to preserving hope.

As a US veteran, I felt betrayed by the way the US left Afghanistan after 20 years of sacrifice. Trump's criticism of Biden's handling of the situation resonated with me. The aftermath of our withdrawal allowed Iran to gain power and attack Israel. Many veterans share my feelings of anger towards Biden and support for Trump. It's clear why we feel this way if you pay attention.

Veterans are gathered to support Pete Hegseth, including Tim Kennedy and others.
