JUST NOW: President Trump and @JacquiHeinrich share a heartfelt moment reflecting on the shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner.
HEINRICH: "Thank you for your leadership in the moments afterward and for coming on and giving the country the strength to not let those who would wish to harm us stop us from our pursuit of our liberties."
TRUMP: "Let's not let people like this change the course of our country."

Joey Jones @Johnny_Joey - 2006 Under Bush, I had to do security for the Lt Dan Band in Hawaii, loved it. 
2008 under Bush we spent 3 days cleaning and “sprucing up” the base HQ at Kaneohe Bay for Eagles guitarist Joe Walsh to visit and he never showed. 
2009 Under Obama, I had to spend my own money updating my service uniform and driving over an hour to go unfurl a giant American flag for the Chargers 
2011 I spent an entire day driving from DC to quantico to get my prosthetic legs fitted in service alphas to go to the White House and have dinner with Obama, Biden and 34 4 ⭐️ Generals. 
The payoff on all of that was morale. And it worked. This politician is either completely dishonest or has completely forgotten this  aspect of leadership. 
The good will bought for the Soldiers getting to interact with Kid Rock and all the Soldiers knowing a celebrity supports them without partisan reservations is worth a fraction the fuel we dump in the ocean everytime a jet lands on an aircraft carrier.

Rep. Jason Crow @RepJasonCrow - Why is Pete Hegseth spending your taxpayer dollars to give Kid Rock “joy rides” on Apache helicopters?

John Konrad V @johnkonrad - Ship captain who traveled with Pete Hegseth here.
When we toured the nation’s next supercarrier together and sat down to lunch with the crew, every eye in the room tracked Pete.
It wasn’t electric. It wasn’t rhetoric. It was reciprocity.
Everyone from the seaman recruits to the three-star admiral was locked in, because he wasn’t self-conscious, wasn’t buried in his notes, wasn’t reading off a script. Every person in the room felt seen and heard, even the ones who never said a word.
Most journalists take copious notes. I soak in details and run simulations.
Or maybe that’s not the journalist in me. It’s the ship captain.
We were standing in a cavernous hangar bay and I was already running a flooding scenario. What if the ship heeled hard and water poured into the compartment?
I was working it fast: watertight integrity, tie-down points, where the water would pool, where the escape routes were.
Then a hand landed on my shoulder. 
Pete. He pulled me back into the room, and we talked briefly.
The guy is watching everything.
And not just inside his inner sanctum of four-star GOFOs and PhD advisors like Elbridge Colby.
He has rare situational awareness for what the warfighter actually needs. And he’s reading X too.
I can’t tell you how often something posted on X with real consequence gets clocked by Pete and processed inside his office.
The guy has his head on a swivel.

This is what it looks like to have a warfighter in a room full of politicians…. Never get them confused. Proud to call @SecWar a friend and even more proud to serve under him.
