They Want Hegseth Gone Because He Won’t Serve the Global Order

Get our FREE Newsletter at https://www.PrometheanAction.com — On the eve of Veterans Day, House Democrats and Rep. Thomas Massie tried to impeach Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, and the House voted 211–204 to send the resolution to committee. Susan Kokinda shows why they want him gone: as Secretary of State Marco Rubio put it in Paris, "We work for America. We don't work for the global order." Hegseth reminds us what that global order has cost: tens of thousands of Americans killed in Korea and Vietnam, and thousands more in the Middle East wars. Two former Secretaries of State, Mike Pompeo and Antony Blinken, shared a stage and offered only more war or the status quo on Iran. President Trump chose a third way: a blockade backed by the Gulf states, with the region's nations, like Saudi Arabia and Syria, starting to build their own security and rebuild. 🔗 ALL PAID subscribers get access to all the citations, links and resources used to write this script https://www.prometheanaction.com/#/portal/account/plans 👉 *Make a one-time donation to Promethean Action* https://donate.prometheanaction.com/donate_social_otm?recruiter_id=139893 00:00 The Midweek Update - They Want Hegseth Gone Because He Won't Serve the Global Order - November 11, 2026 01:37 We Don't Work for the Global Order 04:38 The Body Count the Global Order Wants You to Forget 08:09 The Trump Alternative Credits Photos (public domain) - Rep.
