Pete Hegseth, Fox News host, preeminent Trump fluffer and now nominated to be the Secretary of Defense, joined a Christian nationalist podcast to explain how he can turn Christian schools into boot camps tp launch an insurgency against the US.
Wasn't one failed insurrection at the US Capitol enough for him?
His ideas sound very Hitleresque in the extreme. He wants to use children to build an army.
Hegseth is not trying to hide his radical Christian nationalist extremism from view even after being a highly controversial choice by Trump to be the Secretary of Defense.
He is flaunting it in Senate Republicans' faces.
Hey Pete, you want to talk about grooming children? It appears you are the master at it.
On Monday, Hegseth appeared on the "CrossPolitic" podcast, which is hosted by Toby Sumpter and Gabe Rench, both of whom are closely tied to Wilson and his church.
During the discussion about Hegseth's book "Battle For The American Mind," Hegseth said that he is working to create a system of "classical Christian schools" to provide the recruits for an underground army that will eventually launch an "educational insurgency" to take over the nation.
"I think we need to be thinking in terms of these classical Christian schools are boot camps for winning back America," said Sumpter.
"That's what the crop of these classical Christian schools are gonna do in a generation," Hegseth agreed. "Policy answers like school choice, while they're great, that's phase two stuff later on once the foothold has been taken, once the recruits have graduated boot camp."
"We call it a tactical retreat," Hegseth continued. "We draw out in the last part of the book what an educational insurgency would look like, because I was a counterinsurgency instructor in Afghanistan and kind of the phases that Mao [Zedong] wrote about. We're in middle phase one right now, which is effectively a tactical retreat where you regroup, consolidate, and reorganize. And as you do so, you build your army underground with the opportunity later on of taking offensive operations in an overt way."
"Obviously, all of this is metaphorical and all that good stuff," Hesgeth claimed, which promoted both hosts and himself to burst out laughing.
Mad props to Kyle Mantyla for grabbing this on RWW.
