Hegseth issues announcement on Kid Rock helicopter fly-by | Another Day

The army was forced to investigate the. pilots who flew by Kid Rock's estate. over the weekend. Ridiculous. You pop by. one friend's house in the sky, all of a. sudden it's a whole thing. This is just. another day. >> [music]. >> This past weekend, millions of Americans. took to the streets for the No Kings. protest all across America. But it. wasn't just the streets that were making. headlines. Turns out there was some news. in the sky as well. Well, the US Army. says it is conducting a review after two. Apache helicopters were recorded doing a.

flyby at singer Kid Rock's home in. Nashville, Tennessee. Kid Rock posted. this video on Saturday where you can see. him standing near a pool while a. helicopter hovers for several seconds. He's clapping, he's saluting, and at one. point a second helicopter flies by. As. far as the second helicopter's. concerned, you know how it is when you. see your friend flying a $40 million. piece of lethal machinery outside of its. flight path, you want to do it, too. Now, it would be easy to simply get one. side of the story, but it feels only.

fair to hear from the man himself as to. how this whole event transpired. On on. Saturday, just kind of walk me through. what you saw. Man, I was I was sitting. right there just having like. kind of Saturday morning beer. Sure, like we all do. We wake up, brush our. teeth, then settle in on the couch for. our freshly poured mug of pre-noon. alcohol that is in no way a sign that an. intervention should be imminent. But, my. apologies, Mr. Rock. You were saying? >> And I seen a.

I seen a chopper start coming. I was. like, man, it looks like military. And. so, they just happened to be coming this. way. So, I walked over here and I'm. like, yeah, hell yeah. And um then they. circled back around and came out right. over here. And um and I so I just, you know, gave. them a salute. And you know, kind of a thank you. And. man, it was a level of respect that I. got that no award or record sales could. ever do. And you know, at the end of the. day, if it makes their day a little. brighter, you know, for for their. service to our country protecting us, I.

think that's a great thing. Look, I. don't want to be the uh woke white. privilege guy here, but. it's worth mentioning that you got to be. pretty confident in your own. skin to see a weaponized Apache. helicopter hovering outside your place. and think, how sweet, some folks swung. by to say hi. I mean, especially since. we have been taught that when a. helicopter suddenly appears, it always. spells bad news.

No. Little known fact, Kid Rock hates The. Matrix. He thinks there shouldn't be a. red or blue pill, there should only be. one pill. Red, white, and blue, But look, Kid Rock is no fool. Just. because a man in his mid-50s drinks. alone on Saturday mornings with his own. personal Statue of Liberty, wears fur. coats inside, and takes out his. unchecked claustrophobia on 12 packs of.

cheap beer with an AR-15, Bud Light and Anheuser-Busch. Have a terrific day. That doesn't make him out of touch. Kid. Rock knows the difference between right. and wrong, and this. was all right. The military is like. looking into this to see, you know, if. they did this for their own pleasure, I.

I guess. What do you have to say to. that? I think they're going to be all right. My buddy's a commander-in-chief. >> [laughter]. >> The man has a point. I think they'll be. just fine. I mean, sure, America's chief. law enforcement officer said last week, >> No one in this country is above the law. But what the hell does that matter when. you've got friends in high places, right? >> They have now been suspended. >> What? This is some Suspended? Okay, this is crazy. And I'm not the. only one who thinks so. I mean, what are.

they looking into? They stopped for. I don't know, seconds, a minute. You. know, maybe they were here 3 4 minutes, you know, just say what's up, went on. Uh actually, I think that's exactly what. they're looking into. Despite what Kid. Rock may think, America's multi-million. dollar a piece Apache helicopters aren't. given the same loose leash as he is on. his bike. No, sorry, the other bike. That's the one. >> These are very expensive. uh property of the federal government.

and the time and the use of these is. certainly subject to all kinds of. protocols and a a flyby would not. typically be anywhere near that. >> Yes, typically, flying by a rock star's. infinity pool to say hi during a. Saturday morning military training. exercises frowned upon. Typically. But. we are not living in typical times, which is why the Secretary of Excursions. just decided there was nothing to see. here. Right in. Thank you, Kid Rock. US.

Army pilot suspension lifted. No. punishment, no investigation. Carry on, patriots. Like I said before, No one in. this country is above the law. But. regardless of what trouble these pilots. may not be getting in, that doesn't. change the message Mr. Rock has for. members of our military. Is there really. anything else you want to say that I I. didn't ask you? Uh I think that kind of covered it. To or to the the people who serve our. country, what do you want them to know? I know you covered that, but I want to.

hear you say it again. The people that. serve our country, I mean, same thing I. said for years. Thank you for your. service and keep on Kid Rocking in the. free world. And that is the Kid Rock. way. Regardless of political party, if. you are brave enough to put your life on. the line in service to this great. country of ours, Kid Rock loves you. He. respects you. And most of all, he thanks you. You with Trump, you with me. Like I said, regardless of political party, the. reality is I find it a bit odd that we.

haven't seen anyone else from the White. House or the Republican Party speak up. about this little helicopter hiccup. considering they are the party hell-bent. on eradicating oh, what was it again? Right now, my main focus, without any. question, is to wage a war on fraud, waste, and abuse. Waste, fraud, and. abuse. Waste, fraud, and abuse. Waste, fraud, and abuse. >> We just stopped uh waste, fraud, and. abuse. Waste, fraud, and abuse. Yes, waste, fraud, and abuse. Trump loves. those three words so much, I'm surprised. they weren't the names he picked for his. kids. I guess he thought Ivanka, Don.

Jr., and uh third recipient of genetics. was much more fitting. But the point. remains, Donald Trump and the GOP have. made it their mission to vilify anyone. who dares waste a cent of taxpayer money. involved in Medicaid, housing programs, or SNAP benefits. But from what I can. see, if some of those folks had simply. tied their free groceries to the front. wheels of a $40 million Apache. helicopter and flown by Kid Rock's. mansion, they would all be fine with it. And just a reminder, this is all. happening at a time when the Pentagon is.

asking for even more money for Trump's. war with Iran. The Pentagon asked the. White House for $200 billion for Iran. war supplemental. Can you confirm this. and can you [clears throat] explain why. a package this large is necessary? As. far as uh $200 billion, I think that. number could move, obviously. Uh it it takes uh. it takes money to kill bad guys. It sure. does. And it also takes money to help. sick people. But when it comes to that. money, Republicans have other ways of.

finding it. Mostly by kicking those sick. people off of their health care. But. this is how it goes with Republicans. They are more than happy to protect any. instances of waste, fraud, and abuse as. long as the people committing those. things align with them politically. But. not to worry, if you're about to lose. your health care, your home, or your. food assistance, there is a simple fix. Just become good friends with the. president of the United States. >> My buddy's a commander-in-chief. >> [laughter]. >> See? It's that easy. >> [music].

>> Before you go, I'm very excited to. announce that I've written a new book. titled The Day After: How to wield power. in a post-Trump world. The book explores. what is, in my opinion, the single most. important theme that we're dealing with. in politics today and moving forward, power. Specifically, how Republicans. abuse it and how Democrats refuse to. wield it. This book explains how we got. here and more importantly, how we should. finally wield power if we're lucky. enough to get it back. It is the. blueprint for progressives who want to. do far more than just restore the status. quo. Please pre-order today by following.
