In one month, Pete Hegseth's military spent $93.4 billion dollars.

"Military" purchases include:

$98,329 for one grand piano
$26,000 for one violin
$2,000,000 for Alaskan king Crab

I like governments that spend that kind of money on healthcare.

Hegarty to millennials:

"I'll see your avocado toast and raise you $2,000,000 for Alaskan king Crab – from the public purse.
Bwaahaahaa!"
