    One last question. I know you've got to run. We all have to run. I don't believe that they are circling. Yes, yes. He doesn't mean the birds. I don't believe anyone's asked you on air about this yet. And so I wanted to get you on the record. Major Hassan, huge news that came out. One of these people, Jokarshanayev is another federal one who's got the death penalty that we were sort of waiting on, but he's now military. But Major Hassan, this news that came down regarding firing squad, can you tell us about how that came about and what led to that decision process? No brainer. Execution by firing squad. Army major betrays his country, radical Islamist, kills a bunch of Americans at Fort Hood. Of course, we're going to do it at Fort Hood and do it on a Thursday. We're going to do it at one o'clock, which is when he did it. And it's going to be soldiers with rifles executing the firing squad. It hadn't been since World War Two since we've done that. Well, I kind of like the mentality we had in World War II, which was win, which was understand when the enemy attacks you, you stand your ground. So it was a radical Islamist terror attack. Remember what Obama called it? Workplace violence. I mean, that's what we're up against. That's the worldview we're up against is workplace violence. CVE. We know what it is. It was a radical Islamist attack in uniform inside the ranks. And so he's going to get a firing squad of soldiers, as it should be. And we'll make sure that people are able to watch it, that it's public, because people need to understand that there's serious consequences for these types of things. Has Major Hassan made any final requests, reached out to the president, anything like that, to your knowledge? Don't care. We'll see him on December 3rd. December 3rd, Fort Hood. Ladies and gentlemen, Secretary of War, Pete Hegstead, thank you very much. Thanks for coming with us. Appreciate it. First, member of the media, whatever you want to call him, to ever do PT with us as well. I was surprised about that. Nobody's asked. Nobody's asked. Well, not everybody can cut it like Jack. Hey, I thought it was just something to do, man. I was traveling. I needed to get some reps in, you know?
