Pete Hegseth Speaking Topics

  • The Battle for America

    This speech, which always weaves in current events, is a full-throated exhortation on the current political threats from the Left and what patriots and conservatives need to be fighting for! Donald Trump changed America’s political landscape forever, charting the course for how we should battle the Left. What does that look like today? And how do we fight to win? This speech can be tailored to particular topics or audiences.

  • Leadership/Motivation

    Pete’s work in the military, veterans advocacy, and in media have left a lasting impression of leadership – and why it’s so important. If you’re looking for a motivational or inspirational talk about hard work, leadership, and teamwork – Pete will deliver.

  • Patriotism/Heroes/Vets

    Patriotism might be passe in modern America, but not for Pete. Want to celebrate America—he’s all in! This speech can also be tailored to any event or occasion that includes a veterans, military, law enforcement or memorial aspect. Pete can also talk about his time on the battlefield in Iraq and Afghanistan and his advocacy work for vets and the military.

  • Political/Media Analysis

    If your group, company, or organization would like to stay “apolitical,” Pete can put on his political/media-analysis-hat and break down the X’s and O’s of the current political environment. What are the Democrats trying to advance? How powerful is the hard Left? How have Republicans adjusted to the Trump era? Or have they?

  • The State of American Education

    Pete co-authored the pre-eminent book exposing the Leftist takeover of America’s K-12 schools—“Battle for the American Mind.” The book reveals the secular Left’s 100-year educational agenda and outlines what parents, grandparents and patriots must do to fight back—to include full school choice, defunding unions, home-schooling, Christian schools, and classical Christian education.

  • Christianity & American Culture

    Andrew Breitbart famously said, “Politics is downstream from culture.” Pete’s pastor went a step further, saying: “culture is downstream from religion.” They’re both right! Our Christian faith—and how that plays out in our lives, families, communities, and culture—will determine America’s future viability. These topics include pro-life events, which is a passion of Pete’s.
