Hegseth Under Fire! 'War Criminal' Chants Erupt During US Defence Department Event, Video Goes Viral

Can you explain the Arsenal of Freedom tour and how that is beginning to change the paradigm of our previous buys? Well, first of all, Owen, thank you. Thank you to the secretary for having us, for hosting us for AUSA, this incredible conference. I've been watching for a couple of days from your presentation to General Laneve casting the vision for ground warfare. It's an exciting time in the Army. We'll just wait for a second. I caught the last part. Yeah. So, minus that, I am not the best-looking man on this panel, but thank you. She thinks highly of me. The reality is I feel quite comfortable up here. These chairs and these lights, it feels like a television set. It feels like I'm outnumbered here or something. But we're here talking about a deadly serious topic. It appears we have a bit of a tactic. So back to the arsenal of freedom. The arsenal of freedom is about ensuring that this nation rebuilds its defense industrial base and manufacturing base in ways that we have not been since World War II. President Trump requires urgency. He requires scale. He requires mass, timeliness, open architectures. You name it. If we don't have the next five to ten primes, if we don't go from the ten we have right now, five we've never, ever seen before. It's because we went from drone dominance to a DERPUM to all the things that you've been a part of at the same time. We're going to get to the budget. We're going to get to $1.5 trillion. I think this is a semi-coordinated effort. Let me say something about the new entrants. I must say when you encounter these young companies, you're left with the reality that no one does it better than the United States. We have the world's best entrepreneurs, we have the world's best engineers, and our capital markets fuel this like a rocket. For those of you who want to approach Project Ashencourt, by the way, with weaponry, I'm not the operational expert. We could have come in day one. This is an idea that should have been done four, five, six years ago, or even earlier than that. It didn't. We could have declared it and said, may it be so, and we'll put a four-star in charge and grab a bunch of great headlines. Instead, we said, let's get to work first. First, we have to operationalize the acquisition only SOCOM can do. So what you know you will get from us is urgency, urgency to address threats around the world as well. So you've given you've given Agincourt a one year deadline, October the 1st, 2027, to stand up this command for Max, myself, the chairman, the joint staff and the services. I must say, by the way, the joint staff has been terrific in forming this OPT. Can you explain the Arsenal Freedom Tour and how that is beginning to change the paradigm of our previous buys?
