Back at the NRB conference, Wilkins wasn't the only one who performed. Joining her was the 101st Airborne Division's color guard, which was forced to attend the event and watch Hegseth deliver his remarks to the National Religious Broadcasters group.

Tickets for the event ran between $300 and $750, according to the Daily Beast.

Those willing to shell out hundreds of dollars were allowed to see Hegseth rant about how half the country is "godless" and run through anti-abortion and anti-trans talking points.

“Gone is godless and divisive DEI, gone is gender-bending equity and quotas, gone is climate change worship to a false god,” he said. “We are one military, one fighting force, one nation under God. We are not ‘In woke we trust,” we are ‘In God we trust.’”

He hit on abortion during the speech, claiming that “protecting the life of an unborn baby is not political, it’s biblical,” and adding that Trump is “working every day to end taxpayer support of abortion” and to end “abortion for illegal immigrants at Veterans’ Affairs hospitals and service member abortion-related travel expenses at the War Department.”
