- BREAKING: U.S. Air Force Secretary ADMITS that less than a third of F-35s built by Lockheed Martin are operationally capable!
The Pentagon has given too much power to the defense contractors that are bilking American taxpayers.
It’s not going to get better unless we demand accountability.

If you pay taxes, this should infuriate you.
59 percent dont pay taxes.
Not really. It's been known Michelle Obama is a man yeah we still do nothing over it
It does.
Nothing ever changes. More tax dollars for less.
Notice the General refuses to say anything negative against Lockheed, his future employer.
Yer damn straight on that one.
Surprised? I am disgusted, shocked, that they don't know those numbers off the top of their heads!!
Why would they know exact numbers like that off the top of their head? Sounds like you just want to be outraged about something without even knowing anything about what they do or what's going on.
@@bro9479 I sometimes wonder whether posts like OP's aren't AI simply analizing the transcript of the video to procedurally generate "outrage" posts.
Billions of dollars spents, maybe 100s of billions; 29% work that we know of… Disgusting
Billions spent to just park them.
Total System Responsibility has been the biggest mistake the military acquisition community has ever made. It started decades ago as the government experts were stripped of more and more authority over the contractor.
These geniuses are the ones stealing the $ then feigning ignorance.... brilliant performance 👏👏👏👏👏
I love you Matt!!! Keep it up.
WE PAY TO BE PROTECTED IN AMERICA
No, we pay for the illusion that we are being protected but we are actually being sold out on literally every front, look at mexico, you think they arent being allowed to do what they are doing, they are greedy turds, not brave greedy turds, old greedy turds, 100% they are not going to be the ones defending anything, they will be in a hidey hole somewhere.
Not in Biden's America. We pay for our country to be destroyed from within now.
"Government was instituted by God (Romans chapter 13) to commend those who do right and to punish the wrongdoer. Yet government does not see spiritual things clearly. At times governmental policies have supported teachings that are contrary to God’s truth, and at times governments even initiate state-sponsored persecution of Christians. These things have happened before, and they will happen again. We are encouraged to show patient endurance during these abuses of power and to recognize that the Lord is in control and has allowed such things to happen for his own purposes. In the end he will destroy those who oppose him and will take us to heaven to live with him in safety and joy.
Visible churches do not always remain true to the Scriptures but instead teach doctrines that are nothing but the commandments of men (Matthew 15:9). Faithful believers will test the teachings of all on the basis of Scripture, will warn of their false teachings, and will avoid being entangled in them (Romans 16:17). Jesus has warned us, “Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves” (Matthew 7:15)."
I genuinely had no idea that the pentagon has even one straight-talking human being working in there. Kendall is breath of fresh air.
Anyone who tells the truth or shows any remote sign of having spines tend to get fired, passed over for promotion or force retired very quickly this is top to bottom in the Air Force it's more or less go along or get out.
@@johnshackford 💯 correct. Don’t rock the boat.
Thank God Matt Gaetz shames them into admitting how shitty they are at using our hard earned tax paying dollars. We must demand better or refuse to pay taxes.
I am disgusted with them.
Parts fall apart if not off!!
Parts made in different places and don't line up from what I read!!!!
They have very SERIOUS PROBLEMS There!!!! They are a MESS!!!
Been reading that for years
@@stevenmorris3181 well apparently they haver learned one thing!! They just keep getting worse!
That's not really uncommon though. When the F-16 was first introduced, it was thought to be the same. A waste of money, totally useless until it went to war and to date has proven to be one of the worlds best military aircraft. The F-15 was thought to be unnecessarily complicated and costed way to much. Fast forward, and it's record is something like 100 air to air kills and zero losses. The A-10 however has captured the publics eye but behind the scenes, has the highest fratricide rate of any modern aircraft. Last thing, here in Canada, the Trudeau government ran against the F-35 as an overpriced useless aircraft. However now they've changed their mind and decided to replace the entire air force with these aircraft. The true capabilities of this new plane won't be listed in a congressional hearing or the public eye because it's heavily classified, however rumor has it that a pilot can look behind and in conjunction with the Aim-9X (thrust vectored missile) can literally shoot down an aircraft behind it. How do you dogfight something like that? Anyway, this has been the history of every single military aircraft as far as I can remember. It's not wrong for politicians to ask questions like these, I'd say it's their job. But given the context of previous aircraft going through the same thing, I wouldn't worry about the performance of this thing.
Probably true for the Military but that's not what this topic was about. More news will come down the road more info will too. Wait and see, thanks.
Need a refund from LM for a disaterous product with an unacceptable reliability record.
Notice what they didn't say? he blamed it on parts. Some background I'm a former A-10 Crew chief and for decades the Air Force intentionally created a parts shortage to manipulate the FMC data to paint the A-10 in a bad light but regardless of their attempts at cooking the books the A-10 community consistently produced enough aircraft to meet the Air force's need with plenty of room to spare. The problem isn't parts per se. It's people to install the parts. the Air force and Congress can throw all the parts they want at the F-35 but Ops tempo and manpower are what drives the daily/ monthly FMC rates of aircraft. So if they want to fly the shit out of the F-35 fleet and keep those FMC rates up than the Air force better find more manpower.
Look at their medals, and they can't answer a f question straight, boutique army 😂😂😂
When is the government going to be held accountable like the normal person. These people are sick out of control
Thank you Matt.
Are they employing teen girls? Maybe that’s why.
Even teen girls would be smarter than the bunch of morons running our National Defense!
Get to the BOTTOM of this, Matt.😂
Please tell me what are all the medals for? Paperwork, DEI training?
The pharmaceutical industry doesn't want an acne cream that ACTUALLY WORKS. They want it to partially work, and so repeat sales stoke up profits. The military-industrial complex wants a fighter that partially works and needs constant attention and support from the manufacturer. Cat C and D, preferably. The F35 is a turkey, anyway.
Lockheed Shame on you!
-LHM is a powerful company, nobody dares to point a finger at them.
These overpaid clowns are an embarrassment to this country
Riddle me this.... How in the F*CK does a 4 Star not know EXACTLY how many planes can go to combat right now?
People in positions of power that cannot read their own notes... BRILLIANT!
14 years in his position and his program is failed.
As a former C-130 crew and flight line chief, I’d be real upset if I had less than a 75% MC, 50% FMC
All those stars and nobody home!
Good one. Yeah I notice an entire dinner of "fruit salad" over their flabby left chest.
As an independent voter, I want more of this version of Matt Gaetz
The Pentagon is a woke joke!!
Keep doing good work CMG🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Okay sooo with UAPs. Is lockeed 100% running that then? Why no one in government can *find" anything
To distract us from the reality that none of our equipment works and no-one is allowed to complain without retaliation.
😂 Switzerland bought 36 "Lemons" (Sprey). And they argued that Lockheed provides the cheapest aircraft...😂😂😂🎉

The F35 will turn 18 years old next year, so I imagine Gaetz will lose interest in it.
And Russia has been developing their hypersonic weapons for probably a bit longer…
Nope this year but I definitely get your point.
yay Mr. Gaetz- but remember that even though we are under the gun to get this amended, this guy has a LOT of pent up frustration that needs to be heard...give him your ear.
To be fair, Gov't fails at everything they do. Lockheed, like Boeing, should concentrate on the biz instead of how many freaks to employ then tell the Gov't to pound sand.
Once again greed wreaks havoc on our country
Despicable... It's like a government that can't govern. 🤷♂
Watching US politians is like a cringe reality TV show
All that salad on those uniformed and it means ZERO!!!!
That salad means they always showed up at the chow hall on time, turned in their performance report on time, and saluted their superiors. Uniformed uninformed lifers!
They have ribbons for tying their shoes correctly and eating a banana split in one sitting,
@@DIRTYdeeds613 they are spineless traitors the entire Biden admin
@@Dr.Pepper001 don’t forget inclusivity
95% of military decorations are nothing more than participation trophies very few are worth promotion points and only the ass kissers and yes men /women get them. Take it from a vet the vast majority of them are frigging useless and just cost the enlisted folks lots of money to buy and replace every time a new one comes along. .
Congressman Gaetz, I have been trying to reach your office, to no avail.
I have reached Congresswoman Boebert’s office, trying to expedite getting critical information out to you.
Serious matter of national defense, ties into things you’ve been looking into with China.
Please reach out.
They didnt listen to US Signal Corp back in early 2000s because they already was bribed ... Dont expect any response from anyone in Congress..
I hope your email isnt jedi cloud master too lol
That is shocking.
So half if them are spare parts 😂😂
R u fuckin’ kidding me? Wow! Where exactly is the bar? Clearly, it’s 20% or less. Where did the USA go?
Matt, thank you
The F-35 is the ghost of McNamara boondoggle F-111B. Every time the services try to make one plane for all they get a mediocre one at best. Eventually, the F-11B was scrapped by the navy and they went with the Awesome F-14 Tomcat.
THANKS MATT! SHARED THIS OUT.
What are they doing with the money!!!!! OVERSIGHT OVERSIGHT
Isreal, Ukraine, bribes, politicians pockets, etc...
GAO? The words 'Government' and 'Accountability' are no longer cohesive but are more like oil and water or a contradiction in terms.
Billion spent to line the pockets of DOD and congress!!!
"Garbage in garbage out works for planes also.
They missed the keep it simple stupid memo…………….
They were too stupid to realize that in that phrase "stupid" referred to THEM!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Clowns are back! 🤡 🤡 🤡 🤡 🤡 🤡 🤡 🤡 🤡 🤡 Can we never be free of 'em!!
And guess who was a HUGE proponent of KISS? The Legendary Kelly Johnson from Lockheed.
While getting clearance, he continued to project the program? Operational space craft? And the other countries watching what we build, very dangerous.
Top Gun 2 had F-14 Tomcats and Super Hornets.
Is an F-35 better than those two?
Well first you'd have to cobble together a fully operational fart 35. 😎
Over 50 billion tax payer money lockheed martin gets a year
Hmmm......maybe it was Lockheed Martin that flew that "plane" into the pentagon office that housed
the accounting books that subsequently disappeared in the fire.
Check the 🏘 MANSIONS on POTOMAC RIVER, and you're going to 👀 where you're tax money WENT 😮
Fantastic Mr Matt Gaetz!!
Lol years ago I talked to ground maintenance Sergeant and note this was back when the F-35 couldn't shoot it's onboard cannon because the software to shoot the cannon hadn't even been coded yet. So Air force receives F-35 with I believe it was 2 hours flight time and the first thing they do is pull the jet engine and install a new engine and then send that jet engine with 2 hours of flight time to be rebuilt lol. There was no install manual for wing weapon pylons and they ended up putting them on backwards and they scratched the stealth paint which then had to be fixed.
Sheesh. Don’t tell the enemy.
The enemy already knows and they are taking us out by environment warfare, cyber warfare and physiologically unraveling our society. They know our flaws and they exploit them.
I can see why countries would cancel there orders of this plane after seeing this?
Defense contractors run our defense programs. It is all about defense contractor revenue.
They don't fly in tropical rainstorms !
There is a HUUUUGG difference between FMC and PMC and the requirements of the tasks of the mission.
Northrop Grumman builds planes that fly!
WTF is going on here?
Lawn ornaments fire lockeed
Martin Marietta merged with Lockheed to form Lockheed Martin. This is the company that made the solid fuel rockets that blew up the space shuttle and killed our astronauts. Remember?
Why have a military at this point. Fire everybody close down everything jail the finance guys that said no it's fine. This is ridiculous.
Completely bananas how openly they discuss the FMC % . IMO that's pretty sensitive information.
Logistics isn't simple. Mr Gaetz is onl taking it in a civilian perspective. Unit vehicles with FMC rates around 60% are difficult to sustain. I get what Gaetz is trying to say, but unless Congress will train its airmen/sailors to the degree of LM contractors, nothing will change. A BIG miscommunication that unfortunately the top brass in this hearing didnt catch is that they basically told Mr. Gaetz that the FMC rate is low because LM made them that way, and its all their fault. Whereas the actual issue is just the sheer maintenance hours and resources required for military vehicles and equipment arent there due to inexperience and time mismanagement. If an army unit WITHOUT contractors has a difficult time getting its JLTV fleet to at least 60%, how the hell do you think the military will fare with arguably one of the most complex systems in the world? We paid for the fancy jet and high speed pilots,but its evident that congress and the pentagon didnt plan for sustainment
NATO countries must be pissed off right now 🤡
59% is fail 60 is a d lmao...
Seriously.
Someone, please mount the gallows back up and don't forget to bring the tar and feathers for starters before the main course.
If you need them to fly, they'll fly. 😄😄😄
We're a "paper tiger" like china. smh.
A dollar paid in taxes is a dollar down the drain.
😂😂😂😂 Terrible! Let's get the solution People!!
When planes are over priced you can't service them when it costs hundreds of thousands of dollars for just a few hours of flight
The Republicans have some real stars in the Senate.
UAP questions please!!
Another example of 10% .....2 the crooked cronies ...⚔️
We may want to consider Agenda 30 out of the UN. I think included in this Agenda is a proposed halt to domestic travel for Americans, with recommendations for Americans only allowed by law to vacation using air travel maybe every third year or fifth year. Anyway, future travel for Americans will become rare. That's the plan and if the airline industry is purposefully constructing danger in the air, that certainly discourages flying.
Is just crazy that the weapons are always too expensive like how is that sustainable
In peacetime no more than 10% should ever be downchecked for full use, durring war things happen and half down may make sense.
Pierre Sprey said that it was a turkey 7 years ago , it;s all about spending money .
3:06 He missed it. The answer was given & he didn’t catch it.
List of planes built by Lockheed Martin that can’t fly- c130, f22, f104, yf12, sr71, p38, f16, and many more. None of these planes can fly. lol.🤣
The C130? Bud do you have any idea how often they use that plane? I see them in the sky on a normal basis.
F16 has been around for 50 years and fly's quite well. Don't be stupid.😜
@@mytruthslays1303pretty sure that was sarcasm
3:27 mark is scary
It would be interesting to find out how the F35 is performing in other services around the world. If it is also failing to produce a suitable product maybe there should be repercussions on LM for not holding up their end of the contract.
To be fair, MC status changes hour to hour.
Can anyone say TIME TO CUT OUR LOSES. And I got a C note ($100 bill) that LM is cashing those checks like clockwork. 18 years and still trying to drag that rotting corpse over the line. 😎

The F35 program has been fraught with difficulties and delays. The pentagon seems to be in a big hurry to retire perfectly functional aircraft and replace them with expensive, over budget solutions.
1:30 The other ones were busy.
WHAT SORT OFF MICKEY MOUSE OPERATION ARE YOU RUNNING.
Our strength and protection is an illusion
its not that theyre broken theyre just having a sleep
F35 program is 3 different aircraft in order to replace as many existing aircraft as possible. Too large too complicated and no savings realised

Very well needed for my family. Thank you
We pay our taxes to a government whom seems not to give a crap about our nation security…….DEI programs get more attention from our government than military preparedness
What is the price we pay the PENTAGON today for a hammer ? 10k...It will never end...FJB...
These comments wpuld be suprised how insane it is for any unit vehicle FMC to be even at 60%. Reality is quite jarring
It looks like the 2 guys you were asking didn't like the way these things are setup either but have little to no power to change this processes these contractors have stole the keys to the money valt and aren't giving them back this needs fixing and fast there is no excuse for this
