1 小时 28 分钟If you've ever been around politicians or government bureaucrats
who are about to deliver a statement or hold a press conference or give a speech,
there's a sense in the room from the politician or bureaucrat that, like, this is really important.
The world is watching.
But when you're not in that world, you realize, like, nobody's watching.
Nobody has any idea what the Secretary of the Interior said yesterday, what he's working on, even what his name is.
People don't even know what the president says or sends out on his true social or social media or whatever.
It's like most of the stuff just kind of goes out into the ether and only Politico reporters read it.
But if there's one statement from an administration official that you might have caught
because it was a little bit jarring, it was the announcement the other day from the secretary,
well, now of war, formerly of defense, Pete Hegseth, that the man responsible for the massacre
of military personnel some years ago, Nadal Hassan, is finally going to be executed.
He's been under the death penalty for quite some time, and the process is reaching the end of its course.
And that not only is he going to be executed, The execution is going to be live streamed.
You're going to get to watch his killing.
Boy, they don't say that kind of thing very often, but Pete Hegseth did say it.
Here's exactly what he said.
Watch.
Major Hassan, there's news that came down regarding firing squad.
Can you tell us about how that came about and what led to that decision process?
