Since taking office, President Donald Trump has made prompt promises to make a major reduction in bureaucracy and financial waste at the federal level, budgets and personnel that have influenced institutions such as the CIA and the US International Development Agency. He fulfilled his campaign promise to implement cuts. (USAID). On “Fox News Sunday,” host Shannon Bream asked Hegseth about the “rumorning list.”
“There’s no list, Shannon. I’ve heard of it. I’ve seen the rumors. But we have a very keen eye for military leaders and willingness to follow legal orders. This is what we’re saying. It’s all about defending the constitution. [Former President] Joe Biden issued a legal order. A lot of them are really bad,” Hegses said.
“It’s a shame how they erod our military ideology, Covid’s order,” added Hegses. “President Trump gives another legal order and they are tracked down. If they do not comply, and all of these orders are in line with the constitution and norms within the military.”
Since cuttings began in January, Democrats have opposed Trump’s efforts to clean up wasteful spending within the government. One division that is said to see cuts is the Department of Defense (DOD) with previous reports of taxpayer fund misuse. In April 2024, the Pentagon edited the editorial on how much the military is spending on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) training by the March 2024 date, under the leadership of the Biden Harris administration. The report was unable to be provided to Congress. The impact on DEI managers’ pay and recruitment and retention of the entire force.

By July 2024, a book was shared exclusively with the Daily Caller News Foundation, where teachers at Pentagon School who were involved in Dei’s efforts promoted materials to train students to social justice activists. Ta.
“if [lawful orders are] If they don’t follow, those officers will find the door. That’s not a difficult calculation. We feel really good about the direction the Pentagon is heading down to President Trump,” Heggs continued. “We’re going to be the most transparent pentagon that people have seen in a long time with a focus on combat, lethality and accountability, so we’re going to explain these things regularly.”

Under the Biden Harris administration, the Navy joined a pilot program with the help of active drag queen influencers, aimed at increasing recruitment numbers. I also hosted the pentagon pride LGBT month celebrations identifying service members.
In one of his first moves in his new position, Hegses suspends the procedure for sexual change for all military members and “gender identity” at the fork of “gender identity” from their sex Trump’s January enforcement order banning service.
Bream called on a Georgetown law professor who claimed Trump would “dismiss the Army, Navy and Air Force jugs,” claiming it was “what you do when you’re planning on breaking the law.” He called on a law professor in Georgetown to highlight the shaking of the department.
“In the end, we’re looking for lawyers who don’t exist to give healthy constitutional advice and not try to have obstacles to what happens in the spot. What we know about these tjags …Traditionally, they’ve been chosen by each other or have been chosen by each other. “A small group of insulators who perpetuate the status quo. So, what do you speculate? The status quo is not very good in pentagonals. Hmm. It’s time for fresh blood.”
“So we’re going to open these positions to a broader set and merit-based process to find the best possible lawyers to lead the Army, Air Force and Navy. There’s nothing about purges. Illegal. There’s nothing about things,” Hegses continued. “From the start, we made it clear that the army was ready to violate the faithfulness of the constitution and to close and destroy it with the enemy.”
On Friday, Trump announced that he had removed the first general from the DOD and rejected General Charles Brown’s co-headed chairman in a true social post. The president expressed his gratitude for Brown’s service, but he announced that he would nominate Air Force General Dan “Razin” Cain for the position.
“One thing people haven’t noticed yet is what I share. These are three-star billets. But traditionally, they have two over time. It was a billet of stars,” added Heggs. “Over time, there was a lot of inflation in the rank. We’ll return these billets to two-star billets. We’ll reduce the size of our headquarters units, and the inflation of our military generals.”
“We won World War II with seven four-star generals, Shannon. Today there are 44… Did it produce better results? We have many assumptions at the Pentagon “We’re trying to challenge ourselves, streamline what we’re doing, and get fighters as much resources as possible,” concluded Heggs.
