In an unexpected moment of levity during a high-stakes Cabinet meeting, President Donald Trump playfully poked fun at Pete Hegseth, calling him his "most non-controversial person." The remark, made in front of key Cabinet members, provided a rare lighthearted break in an otherwise serious session. Known for his bold statements, Trump’s light-hearted jab at Hegseth offered a contrast to the tense political atmosphere, drawing laughs and revealing a more humorous side of the President amid the ongoing discussions on crucial policy issues.

00:00On the left, because he's my least controversial person at the moment.
00:05Oh, they don't know how good he is.
00:08So we'll go around the table and you can hear it.
00:10And these are cabinet meetings where they're very open and transparent and country to do well.
00:15But they have to treat us fairly also.
00:17So with that, I think we're going to maybe go around.
00:20And we have some letters where the secretaries and people around the table are making statements about how they're doing.
00:29And what's happening.
00:30And I could start with Pete on the left because he's my least controversial person at the moment.
00:38No, they don't know how good he is.
00:40So we'll go around the table and you can hear it.
00:43And these are cabinet meetings where they're very open and transparent.
00:46And I can guarantee you Biden didn't do this.
00:49He didn't do this.
00:50Go ahead, Pete.
00:51Well, Mr. President, I think we're controversial because we're over the target.
00:55And like so many things, Mr. President, you inherited a demoralized military that couldn't recruit.
01:01That was perceived as weak after what happened in Afghanistan and elsewhere because of Joe Biden.
01:06And what we have seen since your election and the inauguration has been nothing short of a recruiting renaissance.
01:11It hasn't been decades since we've seen this kind of recruiting in the Army, the Navy, the Marine Corps, the Air Force.
01:20The men and women of America want to join the United States military led by President Donald Trump.
01:25And the police, by the way.
01:27Absolutely.
01:27And fire.
01:28I always mention the fire, but the police and fire.
01:31But the police and fire likewise are, I mean, they have waiting lists now.
01:35And six months ago was a disaster.
01:37Truly historic.
01:38We can barely absorb the volume and retention as well.
01:42Men and women in the military who don't want to get out now that they have a real commander in chief.
01:47We're reinforcing standards.
01:48We're going to be fit, not fat in our formations.
01:51We welcome back all the COVID, the folks that were forced out because of the COVID mandate.
01:57We've ripped wokeness out of the military, sir, DEI, trans.
02:02And it's Fort Benning and Fort Bragg again at the DOD.
02:07We're rebuilding the military, sir.
02:09The Golden Dome is well underway.
02:11F-47 reassuring allies and deterring enemies.
02:14We found nearly $6 billion in doge savings that we're going to reinvest,
02:18including $50 billion from the Biden administration focused on things like climate
02:22that have nothing to do with lethality and warfighting.
02:25And we'll have, as you said, sir, the first trillion-dollar budget that we plan to spend wisely
02:29on behalf of our warfighters.
02:32From day one, sir, we've helped get 100% operational control of the border,
02:37come alongside DHS and CBP.
02:39We've got 11,000 troops on the border who now, because of the new national defense area, sir,
02:44can help detain illegals at the border and hand them over to CBP.
02:49It used to be if you saw camouflage on the border, they could hold binoculars.
02:53And that's it.
02:55Now we can detain and assist, and we are.
02:57We're going to get 100% operational control of that border.
03:00Our NATO allies know they have to step up.
03:03The Houthis in the Middle East are feeling the weight of American power,
03:07and we're deterring Communist China.
03:09So because of your leadership, sir, I believe we're making the military great again.
03:12Thank you very much.
