BFT Podcast: Leaky Pete Is Mad
Pete Hegseth is breaking barriers in levels of being not mad at all
As an expert in being mad, I know a mad guy when I see one.
There are at least a few people who subscribe to this newsletter who had the joy of playing recreational softball with me years ago. They may or may not have it seared into their memories the sight of me throwing a temper tantrum after being caught in a rundown or flying out to right field for the third straight at-bat or failing to hit the cut-off person from deep in center field. It didn't take much to make me lose my goddamn mind and make a total ass of myself.

I once got tagged out in a lengthy rundown between second and third base, came back to the bench, and promptly punched a fence until a bone in my hand snapped. I did this in front of my wife and mother in law and sister in law. I was 28 years old. Twelve years earlier, during a junior golf tournament in Laurel, Maryland, I snapped my putter over my head after missing a four foot par putt.

Though I'm no longer a hothead at the advanced age of 41 – who has time for such nonsense? – I very much remember what it was like to be mad. My voice changed, my demeanor changed, and I became a complete mess.
I see that in Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth today. His cable news hits are the stuff of not-mad legend. The man is breaking barriers in levels of being totally, incomprehensibly mad. I felt compelled to talk about it, along with the potentially fatal flaw of the Dark Woke movement, if that's indeed what it is.
