Sometimes the well-liked communist Jon Stewart got that treatment because he broached the subject too much during an interview with the second-in-command of the Department of Defense.<\/p>\n<p>Stewart reportedly had a conversation with Deputy Defense Secretary Kathleen Hicks about C-SPAN. Hicks denied that the Pentagon&#8217;s&#8217;s failure to maintain its books was a sign of fraud or carelessness when Stewart brought up the issue during that discussion.<\/p>\n<p>The DoD&#8217;s&#8217;s inability to pass an assessment or its failure to do so does not imply waste, fraud, or discrimination. During the back and forth, Hicks said in a rather contemptuous voice,&#8221; That is completely unfounded, just it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>What then is it provocative of? Stewart retorted.<\/p>\n<p>She retorted defiantly,&#8221; It&#8217;s&#8217;s suggestive that we can&#8217;t- we have an accurate inventory of what we&#8217;ve&#8217;ve got where.&#8221; &#8221; We can&#8217;t do that because waste, fraud, and abuse have occurred ,&#8221; is not the same as saying&#8221; that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A keen observer would naturally wonder how she can claim with such certainty that&#8221; waste, fraud, and victimization&#8221; have not taken place when the Pentagon, by their own admission, lacks trustworthy information on the subject. Stewart, however, wasn&#8217;t done and provided a fair response.<\/p>\n<p>So, that&#8217;s&#8217;s waste in my world, he said.<\/p>\n<p>Hicks inquired,&#8221; How is that loss?&#8221; but didn&#8217;t understand.<\/p>\n<p>The previous Comedy Central network said,&#8221; If I give <em>you<\/em> a billion dollars and <em>you<\/em> can&#8217;t tell me what happened to it, that to me is useless.&#8221; That implies that <em>you<\/em> are not accountable. What am I supposed to think, though, if <em>you<\/em> can&#8217;t tell me where it went? And when there has been reporting, I&#8217;m&#8217;m not saying that this is <em>you<\/em>r fault or that <em>you<\/em> are to blame for it.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">When questioned about a picture of public corruption, waste, and abuse, Deputy Defense Secretary Kathleen Hicks becomes agitated.

He posed a fairly simple query, but it was mocked. The Biden administration&#8217;s&#8217;s incompetence and deliberate dullness were then made public. Why is it the responsibility of a comic who supports the Democratic Party and the Media Complex to expose potential fraud?<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">This game explains why marketing is the sense it is. Government representatives aren&#8217;t actually able to answer BASIC questions from other government stooges like Jon Stewart. He doesn&#8217;t pose a danger. He pampers them. However, sometimes simple doubting results in a panic.
