00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:06,120
Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George

2
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:10,240
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.

3
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:12,480
Speaker 2: Arm Strong and Getty and he.

4
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:24,799
Speaker 3: Armstrong and Getty jump ahead a day. I just saw

5
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:26,800
Speaker 3: Senator Marco Rubio.

6
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 4: Whose confermation hearing is tomorrow for Secretary of State. We'll

7
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 4: say in his opening remarks that China has lied and

8
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 4: cheated its way to superpower status at the expense of

9
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:40,839
Speaker 4: the United States, according to.

10
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 2: The syllable truth.

11
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:46,560
Speaker 4: Absolutely man, I love a secretary of state coming in that.

12
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 4: That's his opening point of view. That's freaking awesome.

13
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 3: Time to call a spade a spade and a communist

14
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 3: a communist.

15
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 2: But for today, makeup America, grow up, stand up, get up.

16
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 4: For today it pull your socks up. As John Lennon right,

17
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:08,320
Speaker 4: Pete heggsth is trying to be confirmed as Trump's choice

18
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 4: for Secretary of Defense. And in cases they don't follow

19
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 4: this sort of stuff very closely, it's worth knowing that

20
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 4: for a lot of the media and the politicians themselves.

21
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,320
Speaker 3: It's just yar side or boo our side.

22
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 4: They just want to shoot down whoever the other side

23
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 4: nominates with some sort of feeling that if they have

24
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,759
Speaker 4: to go to their second choice, you've won something. Though

25
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,400
Speaker 4: I haven't seen that displayed in my life on any

26
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 4: level that it really has any lasting impact. But so

27
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 4: they would feel like MSNBC and the Democrat senators would

28
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 4: feel like they won something if they could stop Hezeth

29
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 4: from being nominated. Okay, fine, just more than I think

30
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 4: than the particular issues of the person that they're growing,

31
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 4: don't you think.

32
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, absolutely, it's just posting a win for our side,

33
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 2: even if, as you indicate, the wind doesn't do you

34
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 2: any good.

35
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, just go to a different choice.

36
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 4: And and and they and they are playing out the

37
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 4: president's policy anyway as secretary of State or sect deef

38
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 4: or whatever. If they didn't, they get fired by their boss. Right,

39
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 4: So where should we start on some of that? They're

40
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 4: in the third hour of the Hegxeth hearings. That would

41
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 4: be a grueling day, man, And I I don't know

42
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,920
Speaker 4: how you not lose your temper. That'd be the main

43
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 4: thing I'd be saying there, don't get angry, don't get angry,

44
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 4: don't get angry. That's I'd be saying to myself. Stay cool,

45
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 4: stay cool, stay cool. As they call you all kinds

46
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 4: of names and try to drag you into not into

47
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:39,959
Speaker 4: losing your cool.

48
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 2: That's one of their goals, right, yeah, although it depends.

49
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,920
Speaker 2: You know, some some can get that boil at just

50
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,639
Speaker 2: the right level. But it's a it's a dangerous game

51
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:52,079
Speaker 2: to play. You don't me.

52
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 4: I'd go with you, you pizza half, you mother plag

53
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 4: and try to climb over the table, and then people

54
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 4: have to hold me back. That's why I said some

55
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 4: too specific.

56
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 3: He Hanson, where do we want to start in these?

57
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 4: Okay, here we go, Here we go, Pete exit being

58
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 4: questioned by somebody.

59
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 5: So what we're talking about here specifically is women in

60
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 5: ground combat roles in jobs like infantrymen or artillerymen or

61
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 5: special forces. Until about ten years ago, that wasn't the case.

62
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,919
Speaker 5: Under Secretary of Panetta, those roles were opened up to

63
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 5: women to serve in. As President Trump indicated all that

64
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 5: he plans to rescind or alter that guidance.

65
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 6: You're correct to point out, Senator, that these are the

66
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 6: decisions that the commander in chief will have the prerogative

67
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 6: to make. He has not indicated me to me that

68
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 6: he has plans to change whether or not women.

69
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 2: Would have access to these roles.

70
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 6: However, I would point out ensuring that standards are equal

71
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 6: and high is of importance to him and great importance

72
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 6: to me, because in those ground combat roles, what is

73
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 6: true is that the weight of the ruck on your

74
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 6: back doesn't change, the weight of the one to five

75
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 6: to five round that you have to carry doesn't change,

76
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 6: the weight of the two forty provo machine gun you

77
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 6: might have to carry doesn't change. And so whether it's

78
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 6: a man or a woman, they have to meet the

79
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 6: same high standards, and Senator, in any place where those

80
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 6: things have been eroded or in courses, criteria have been

81
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 6: changed in order to meet quotas, racial quotas, or gender quotas.

82
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 6: That is putting a focus on something other than readiness, standards, meritocracy,

83
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,919
Speaker 6: and lethality. So that's the kind of review I'm talking about,

84
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 6: not whether women have access to ground combat.

85
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 3: R So, what percentage of America would agree with what

86
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 3: he just said?

87
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 2: There huge, huge, huge.

88
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,720
Speaker 4: Absolute majority, without a doubt. I'm looking at Byron.

89
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 2: York from the Washington If you were to poll people

90
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 2: who served in combat and therefore really know what they're

91
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,039
Speaker 2: talking about, it would be unanimous Byron York.

92
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 4: Washington Examiner says that Kristen's Jilibrand as her attempts failed.

93
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 4: She's the demoocratic senator from New York. Let's hear a

94
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 4: little of her.

95
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 7: Everything you've said in these public statements is politics. I

96
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 7: don't want women.

97
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 3: I don't want moms. What's wrong with a mom?

98
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 7: By the way, once you have babies, you therefore are

99
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 7: no longer able to be lethal. I mean, you're basically

100
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 7: saying women after they have children can't ever serve in

101
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 7: the military in a combat role. It's a silly thing

102
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 7: to say. It's a silly thing to say. Beneath the

103
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 7: position that you are aspiring to to denigrate LGBTQ service

104
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 7: members is a mistake. If you are a sharpshooter, you're

105
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,919
Speaker 7: as lethal regardless of what your gender identity is, regardless

106
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 7: of who you love.

107
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 6: Senator, as the President has stated, I don't disagree with

108
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 6: the overturn of Donuts Hotel Great.

109
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,840
Speaker 7: Because I don't want you thinking can't serve if your

110
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,599
Speaker 7: mom can't serve your LGBTQ.

111
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 2: He's like, who are you yelling at? And why?

112
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 4: Well, okay, then all right, So I would just say, hey,

113
00:05:56,440 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 4: Democrats keep thinking that that Twitter worldview is the winning argument.

114
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 3: Do it go, take it to the mat.

115
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 4: Just keep pushing it, cycle after cycle. That's all about

116
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 4: LGBTQ and identity, politics and everything.

117
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 3: Keep doing it. I'm all for you. I'm on your side.

118
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:20,720
Speaker 2: Kirsten Gillibrand is the classic mid wit. I think that's

119
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 2: the term we're supposed to use these days. Hl Menkin

120
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 2: would have called her a mediocrity. Whichever term searchs you

121
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:27,719
Speaker 2: suits you the best.

122
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 4: Maybe I think that's probably true. I remember when she

123
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,479
Speaker 4: ran for president and I wasn't impressed. But she's also

124
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 4: trying to get re elected in New York where a

125
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 4: lot of her constituents agree with what she just said,

126
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 4: and that's her job.

127
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,279
Speaker 3: So staying in office is her job.

128
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 2: Again, to your point, her job is not to figure

129
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 2: out who would be the best second f right. She

130
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 2: probably didn't even consider that.

131
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,720
Speaker 4: So here he is, how do you say the name

132
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 4: Herno Rono Herono? But this is where they start getting

133
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 4: into his personal life and questioning him on haven't heard this.

134
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,599
Speaker 8: Since you became a legal adult, have you ever made

135
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:07,839
Speaker 8: unwanted requests for sexual favors or committed any verbal or

136
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 8: physical harassment or assault of a sexual nature. No, Senator,

137
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 8: have you ever faced discipline or entered into a settlement

138
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 8: relating to this kind of conduct.

139
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 6: Senator, I was falsely accused in October of twenty seventeen.

140
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 6: It was fully investigated, and I was completely cleared.

141
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 8: I don't think how completely cleared is accurate, but the.

142
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 2: Fact is that.

143
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 8: Your own lawyer said that you entered into an NDA

144
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 8: paid a person who accused you of raping her some

145
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 8: of money to make sure that she did not file

146
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 8: a complaint. Moving on, as secretary, you will be in

147
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 8: charge of maintaining good order and discipline by enforcing the

148
00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 8: Uniform Code of Military Justice you see in addition to

149
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 8: the sexual assault allegations. And by the way, the answer

150
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 8: to my second question should have been yes. I have

151
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 8: read multiple reports of your regularly being drunk at work,

152
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 8: including by people who worked with your Fox News.

153
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 2: Do you know that being drunk.

154
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 8: At work is prohibited for service members under the UCMJ.

155
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 6: Senator, those are multiple false, anonymous reports pedaled by NBCD.

156
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 6: You know that directly to the dozens of men and women.

157
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 8: I worry I'm not hearing that.

158
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 2: My question.

159
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:39,679
Speaker 4: I like the question, do you know you're not supposed

160
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 4: to be drunk at work. Yeah, yeah, I know.

161
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 2: Mazy Herono is a seventy seven year old progressive crank.

162
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 4: So I just I've just looked ahead on this. This

163
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 4: gets into whether or not he'd shoot protesters in the legs,

164
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 4: So I want to hear this.

165
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 3: The next one.

166
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 8: In June of twenty twenty, then President Trump directed former

167
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:08,200
Speaker 8: Secretary of Defense Mark Esper to shoot protesters in the

168
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:09,679
Speaker 8: legs in downtown d C.

169
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 2: An order.

170
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 8: Secretary Esper refused to comply with would you carry out

171
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 8: such an order from President Trump?

172
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 6: Senator I was in the Washington DC National Guard unit

173
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 6: that was in Lafayette Square during those would you carry.

174
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 8: Out shoe protest in the legs?

175
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 6: I saw as the service agents to get injured, b

176
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:36,079
Speaker 6: rids trying to jump over the fence, se church on fire,

177
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 6: and destruyer.

178
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 8: That sounds to me that you will comply with such

179
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 8: an order, you will shoot protesters in the leg moved on.

180
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:51,959
Speaker 2: Hawaii. I've been to Hawaii. I've enjoyed Hawaii. I've talked

181
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:55,319
Speaker 2: to Hawaiians. You can do better than that half wit

182
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,719
Speaker 2: elect somebody who's got like two thirds of a wit

183
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 2: looking up at Senator Warren. Elizabeth Warren, I've been looking

184
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 2: waiting for her today. She says, I want to pick

185
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 2: up on the questioning of Senator Herono. So that's exciting.

186
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 2: So hey, take this further down the road. Well, we

187
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 2: have more Mazie Herono, who I'm actually enjoying in a

188
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 2: perverse sort of way. Uh seventy six. I think it's

189
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 2: clear what she's talking about, but this is this is great.

190
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:30,079
Speaker 8: President Luck has attacked our allies in recent weeks, refusing

191
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,479
Speaker 8: to rule out using military force to take over Greenland

192
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 8: and the Panama Canal, and they threatening to take to

193
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 8: make Canada the fifty first state. Would you carry out

194
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 8: an order from President Trump to seize Greenland, a territory

195
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:49,680
Speaker 8: of our NATO ally Denmark, by force? Or how would

196
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 8: you comply with an order to take over the Panama Canal?

197
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 3: Senator.

198
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 6: I will emphasize that President Trump received seventy seven million

199
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 6: votes to be the lawful commander.

200
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 8: Talking about the election, my question is would you use

201
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 8: our military to take over Greenland or an ally of Denmark?

202
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 3: Senator.

203
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:15,680
Speaker 6: One of the things that President Trump is so good

204
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 6: at is never strategically tipping his hand and so I

205
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 6: would never in this public forum give one way or

206
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:24,680
Speaker 6: another direct orders the president in any context.

207
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 8: That sounds to me that you would contemplate carrying out

208
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 8: such an order to basically invade Greenland.

209
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 2: Mister he says, was you shoot Greenlanders in the legs

210
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:41,840
Speaker 2: if you invaded and they protest? Senator, that's a ridiculous

211
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:46,559
Speaker 2: I can only assume you would shoot Greenlanders in their legs.

212
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 3: You know what's against the law to be drunk in Greenland.

213
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 2: But you, having shot a Greenlander in the legs, get

214
00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:58,959
Speaker 2: drunk and come on to her.

215
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:05,440
Speaker 4: Would you secu pass a drunk Greenlander who was limping

216
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:07,200
Speaker 4: along having been shot in the leg.

217
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:11,959
Speaker 3: Have you in the past answer the question?

218
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 4: I just love how she borderline sounds drunk and goes

219
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 4: you understand it against the rule to be drunk. I

220
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 4: realize that's the way she talks. But yeah, she did

221
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:21,679
Speaker 4: something a little drunk. You know you're not supposed to

222
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 4: drink the work, right, She got a just a nit

223
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 4: wit at age seventy seven. Now we're taking ridiculous grand

224
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 4: standing questions. What do we where's the greatest superpower on Earth?

225
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 2: Act like it?

226
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 4: Ninety nine percent of hearings are our grand standing performative

227
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,559
Speaker 4: bs for talk radio to mock one side or the other.

228
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 3: I do want to hear the Tim Kaine stuff. It's

229
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:47,960
Speaker 3: kind of long.

230
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 2: Uh.

231
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:52,439
Speaker 4: He's the senator from wherever he was Hitlar Glint's running mate.

232
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 4: You might remember him.

233
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,679
Speaker 2: Nobody cares Virginia maybe.

234
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 3: Or remember they featured him on Saturday Night Live a

235
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,440
Speaker 3: couple of weeks ago. It was hilarious. Nobody remembered who

236
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:01,679
Speaker 3: he was. That was the whole point.

237
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 4: Anyway, he really gets into Hegzeth's personal life.

238
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 3: And we're going to play that for you.

239
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 2: Come up.

240
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 4: The bit on SNL real quickly is they had a

241
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:18,200
Speaker 4: game show and they played a show to tweet from

242
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 4: one of the contestants that said, this is the most

243
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:22,199
Speaker 4: important election of our lifetime.

244
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:22,960
Speaker 3: Who's with me?

245
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 4: Back in twenty sixteen for a Democrat who was voting

246
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 4: for Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine, And then they marched

247
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,319
Speaker 4: out Tim Kine, the real Tim Kaine. Ones announce said

248
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 4: who is this? And they had no idea. I had

249
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 4: no idea as a political junkie. That's how quickly you

250
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 4: forget the most important election of our lifetime participants. Anyway,

251
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:45,839
Speaker 4: Tim Kaine, who's still a senator apparently was questioning Pete

252
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 4: Hegseeth about his personal life and trying to make this

253
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 4: a reason not to have him be Secretary of Defense.

254
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 3: Thank you, mister hegg Seth.

255
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 9: I'm looking forward to this opportunity to talk. I want

256
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,440
Speaker 9: to return to the incident that you referenced a minute ago,

257
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 9: that he in Monterey, California, in October twenty seventeen. At

258
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 9: that time, you were still married to your second wife, correct,

259
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 9: I believe so, And you had just fathered a child

260
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:13,199
Speaker 9: by a woman who would later become your.

261
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 2: Third wife, correct, Senator.

262
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 6: I was falsely charged, fully investigated, and completely cleared.

263
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 9: So you think you are completely cleared because you committed

264
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 9: no crime, that's your definition of cleared. You had just

265
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 9: fathered a child two months before by a woman that

266
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 9: was not your wife. I am shocked that you would

267
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 9: stand here and say you are completely cleared. Can you

268
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 9: so casually cheat on a second wife and sheet on

269
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 9: the mother of a child who had been born two

270
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 9: months before, and you tell us you are completely cleared?

271
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 6: So how was that a complete clear Senator? Her child's

272
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 6: name is Gwendolen Hope hag Seth, and she's a child

273
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 6: of God, and she's seven years old, and you cheated

274
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 6: on the mother of that child less than two months

275
00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 6: after that daughter was born, didn't you?

276
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 3: Those were false charges?

277
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 6: Well, no, fully investigated, and I was completely cleared.

278
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 3: And I am so useful in the marriage. I have

279
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 3: to decide.

280
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 9: You've admitted that you had sex at that hotel in

281
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 9: October twenty seventeen. You said it was consensual. Isn't that

282
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 9: correct anything. You've admitted that it was consensual and you

283
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 9: were still married and you.

284
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 3: Just had a child by another.

285
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 2: Wow, again, how do.

286
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 6: You explain your completely false charges against me? You fully

287
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 6: investigated and.

288
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 2: I was completely clear.

289
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 9: You have admitted that you had sex while you were

290
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 9: married to wife two, after you just had fathered a

291
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 9: child by wife three.

292
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 2: You've admitted that.

293
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 9: Now, if it had been a sexual assault, that would

294
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 9: be disqualifying to be secretary defense, wouldn't it?

295
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 2: It was a false claim?

296
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:46,119
Speaker 3: Then in a false claim.

297
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 9: Now, if it had been a sexual assault, that would

298
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 9: be disqualifying to be a secretary of defense, wouldn't it?

299
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 6: That was a false claim.

300
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 3: So you're talking about a hypothetical.

301
00:15:56,800 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 9: So you can't tell me whether someone who is committed

302
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 9: a sexual assault is disqualified from being a Secretary of Defense.

303
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 3: Senator.

304
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 6: I know, in my instance, and I'm talking about my

305
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 6: instance only, it was a false claim, but you acknowledge it.

306
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 9: But you acknowledge that you cheated on your wife, and

307
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 9: that you cheated on the woman by whom you had

308
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 9: just fathered a child.

309
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 2: You have ad met at that. I will allow your

310
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 2: words to speak for them.

311
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 9: You're not retracting that today.

312
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 2: That's good.

313
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 3: Wow oof wow.

314
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 4: So he's got a very ugly don't approve of it

315
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 4: personal life obviously.

316
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's been pretty well conceited by all he

317
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 2: ran around.

318
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 3: This isn't new information.

319
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 4: But he could have responded with, so are you arguing

320
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 4: Bill Clinton should have never have been president? Or I

321
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 4: know you went to Harvard John F. Kennedy's School of Government.

322
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 4: Should his name be taken off that building? I mean,

323
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 4: my lifestyle is not much different than their lifestyle. I

324
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 4: know you wouldn't say that, but it's true.

325
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 2: Or yeah and absolutely throw in And I regret the

326
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 2: way I acted. I was more interested in my desires

327
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:05,639
Speaker 2: than my responsibilities as the young men. I've changed completely.

328
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 3: That's some ugly stuff there.

329
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,200
Speaker 4: That his wife's business, but it's current wife didn't really

330
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 4: dig hearing it either. We had a little more of

331
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 4: this and other stuff on the way Liz.

332
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 2: Warren Armstrong and Getty.

333
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 6: I love my country, Senator, and I've dedicated.

334
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 2: My life to the war fighters.

335
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,880
Speaker 6: People see me as someone who hosts a morning show

336
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 6: on television, but people that really know me know where

337
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 6: my heart's at. It's with the guys in this audience

338
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:40,119
Speaker 6: who've had my back and I've had theirs. We've been

339
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 6: in some of the darkest and most difficult places you

340
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 6: can ever be in. You come back a different person,

341
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:47,360
Speaker 6: and only by the grace of God am I.

342
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 2: Here before you today.

343
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:53,960
Speaker 3: I'm doing this job for them, thank all of them.

344
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:57,679
Speaker 2: And I'm getting drilled and insulted by a bunch of

345
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:00,680
Speaker 2: rich halfwits who the most difficult thing they ever done

346
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 2: is accepted their phony master's degree.

347
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 4: Mark Levin tweeted out, is herono part of an S

348
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:12,639
Speaker 4: and L skit agreed, We played that a little bit earlier.

349
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 4: If you missed it, get the podcast.

350
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:18,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I wish there had been more of her.

351
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 2: She was so funny. Unintentionally speaking. Speaking of unintentionally funny,

352
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 2: you've got the beer swinging fake Indian from Massachusetts or

353
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 2: wherever she's from. Elizabeth Warren. She's a Havid academic. She

354
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 2: is in favor of all things progressive. She has a

355
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 2: problem with the actual fighting man. Pete Hagsith. I like

356
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:43,639
Speaker 2: this conversation, though, I'm glad it's taking place. Seventy nine Michael,

357
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 2: page fourty eight of.

358
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,719
Speaker 1: Your book, you claim that women should not be in

359
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 1: combat roles meant because men are distracted by women. And

360
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:56,159
Speaker 1: then ten weeks ago you appeared on the Sean Ryan

361
00:18:56,240 --> 00:19:00,439
Speaker 1: Show and said, I'm straight up just saying should not

362
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 1: have women in combat rules. Now, I presume you recall

363
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 1: making all these statements.

364
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 6: Senator, I'm not familiar with arcle you're pointing to in

365
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 6: twenty thirteen, but it underscores my argument completely. It is

366
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 6: in that twenty thirteen argument I was talking about standard.

367
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:18,119
Speaker 3: I stand up there.

368
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,440
Speaker 1: What it's always been about, you have the same fight

369
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 1: has always.

370
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 3: Been about, So did you directly.

371
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 1: We've got the video. We're happy to show it. But

372
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:28,679
Speaker 1: I want to be clear here. For twelve years you

373
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 1: were quite open about your views, and your views were

374
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:37,200
Speaker 1: consistently the same. Women are inferiors, soldiers, sailors, marines, airmen

375
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:40,959
Speaker 1: and guardians. And in case anyone missed the point, and

376
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:45,400
Speaker 1: these are your words from ten weeks ago. Women absolutely,

377
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 1: straight up should not be permitted to serve in combat.

378
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:51,879
Speaker 3: And I notice on each.

379
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 1: Of these quotes those are said without qualification. It's not

380
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:58,119
Speaker 1: by how much you can lift or how fast you

381
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 1: can run. They don't belong in combat, period, or your

382
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 1: words straight up. And then on November ninth, twenty twenty four,

383
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 1: just thirty two days after your last public comment saying

384
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:16,879
Speaker 1: that women absolutely should not be in comment, you declared

385
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 1: that quote, some of our greatest warriors are women, and

386
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 1: you support having them serve in combat. Now, that is

387
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:33,440
Speaker 1: a very very big about face in a very very

388
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 1: short period of time. So help me understand, mister hag said,

389
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 1: what extraordinary event happened in that thirty two day period

390
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:51,680
Speaker 1: that made you change the core values you had expressed

391
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 1: for the preceding twelve years.

392
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 6: Senator again, I very much appreciate you bringing up my

393
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 6: comment from twenty thirteen, because for me, this issue has

394
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 6: always been about standards. And unfortunately, because of some of

395
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:16,200
Speaker 6: the people that have been in four years, stop have driven.

396
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 4: Seen you so and I have the answer. Actually, he

397
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:22,639
Speaker 4: Pete's not going to give it. The reason why he

398
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 4: change his opinion was Jony Ernst, the female senator from Iowa,

399
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 4: who is a Republican, who was very unhappy with those

400
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 4: things that I think he actually believes, and he needs

401
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:35,160
Speaker 4: fifty Republican votes to get confirmed, and he is.

402
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:36,200
Speaker 3: Trying to get hers.

403
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 4: I think he believes that women in combat are a

404
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:41,880
Speaker 4: distraction and make it more difficult to have an effective

405
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 4: fighting for us. I don't have any way to speak

406
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 4: to that. I think it makes perfectly good sense his theory,

407
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 4: but I don't know that's true or not. I've never

408
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:52,120
Speaker 4: experienced it myself well and honestly.

409
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 2: It's it's it's at once a lazy argument an incredibly

410
00:21:55,760 --> 00:22:00,200
Speaker 2: good argument, Senator. For all of human history, mankind has

411
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 2: not put women into combat except in very, very rare circumstances.

412
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:08,439
Speaker 2: I mean, the numbers are tiny historically speaking, for a

413
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 2: number of reasons, including standards, but also because women are

414
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 2: too valuable to the society. If you want ten babies

415
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:16,440
Speaker 2: to be.

416
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 3: Had this Handmaid's tale, okay, here we go.

417
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:24,159
Speaker 2: If you want ten babies this year, you need ten women.

418
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:26,359
Speaker 2: You need a dude.

419
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 4: By the way, that's the part that made me grown

420
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 4: out loud. At Gladiator two, they're opening scene they had

421
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 4: to have a chick warrior who was kicking ass.

422
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:38,399
Speaker 3: Like, come don it, you're trying too hardier.

423
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:43,680
Speaker 2: Oh goodness sakes pre historic.

424
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:46,399
Speaker 3: Back in the Roman days, that wasn't happening.

425
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 4: It's not hard to imagine it as possibly being true

426
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 4: that to have one woman in a group of fifteen

427
00:22:56,320 --> 00:23:01,160
Speaker 4: guys presents more obstacles than it's worth. It's not difficult

428
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:02,920
Speaker 4: for me to understand even if she's.

429
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 2: Qualified, like physically can do the job right, it's just

430
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:12,200
Speaker 2: and this is the difference in orientation between Liz Warren

431
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 2: and her type and more ours and Pete Hexas's is

432
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:21,120
Speaker 2: the only thing that matters. Well, okay, let me rephrase it.

433
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 2: The first question must be effectiveness. It must be the

434
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 2: result period before we discuss anything else. We discuss the

435
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 2: result of having that woman in a combat unit, because

436
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 2: it's not always going to be disruptive necessarily, but you've

437
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 2: got to discuss in terms of combat readiness and effectiveness.

438
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:47,119
Speaker 2: How does it affect it. Now, if you say it

439
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 2: affects it significantly, well then that's the end of the discussion.

440
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 2: Even if it's it affects it significantly a smallish percentage

441
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 2: of the time we're done talking here. From my point

442
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:04,880
Speaker 2: of view, Now, if it's a very minor difference in effectiveness,

443
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:07,199
Speaker 2: then okay, I'm willing to say, all right, what do

444
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 2: we gain by doing that?

445
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 4: Well, you gain by in ferry you would double the

446
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 4: pool of people you can choose warriors from. It's probably

447
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:19,399
Speaker 4: not double because the percentage of women that can physically

448
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 4: do it would not be as high as men, but

449
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:25,639
Speaker 4: you greatly enhance the pool of potential great warriors if

450
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:26,399
Speaker 4: you allow women.

451
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 2: Well, I would suggest not to quibble, but if you

452
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 2: kept the same standards as Pete is advocating, you would

453
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 2: increase the pool slightly.

454
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know that the current standards Tom Cotton

455
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:41,120
Speaker 4: was talking about aren't very strict.

456
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 3: Running at two miles and twenty two minutes, for instance.

457
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 2: Can you get off a couch and walk swiftly? Yes? Ah? Yeah, yeah. Well,

458
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 2: putting aside the fact that a lot of this questioning

459
00:24:55,960 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 2: is is blatantly unfair or irrelevant, and not all of it,

460
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 2: but they got to figure out who this guy is

461
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 2: and what sort of character he hasn't and there are

462
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 2: gonna be some embarrassing and tough questions. I'm not gonna

463
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:11,880
Speaker 2: go full on, you know, one sided partisan on this one,

464
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 2: but I just.

465
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 4: Feel like you did a bit ago where we got

466
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 4: to keep the women back to have ten babies each.

467
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:19,399
Speaker 3: Whatever. Whatever you're talking about, it's just been discussed that roughly.

468
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:23,360
Speaker 2: That's roughly correct. Yeah. No, I'm glad these discussions are

469
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 2: being had. Anytime they can be had publicly and have

470
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:29,120
Speaker 2: America's attention drawn to them, I think that's a good thing.

471
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 2: Otherwise China is gonna whoop our ass.

472
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:32,399
Speaker 3: Well, do you agree with me?

473
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:35,720
Speaker 4: I think Pete believes women shouldn't be in combat roles

474
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 4: because it doesn't it's more of a negative than a positive.

475
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:41,120
Speaker 4: But he has he feels like he had to abandon

476
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:45,399
Speaker 4: that position for whatever reason, for Jony Ernst at least.

477
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think there could be some clarification.

478
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 2: I mean, if a woman's like a fabulous drone pilot,

479
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:58,920
Speaker 2: is that quote unquote in combat?

480
00:25:59,080 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 3: Good question.

481
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,399
Speaker 2: You're killed, folks, you're in combat. I would think, so,

482
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 2: how about a fighter pilot because Joni was a pilot?

483
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:09,199
Speaker 2: Correct or am I misremembering? I might be thinking of

484
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 2: somebody else. I apologize. But fighter pilot, okay with that.

485
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:18,639
Speaker 2: It's when you get into infantry and you know our

486
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 2: artillery groups, squads, you know that I have problems with

487
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:26,879
Speaker 2: whish we get again, but again I will leave. I

488
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:29,439
Speaker 2: will happily leave that to the experts and not just

489
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 2: civilians spouting off opinions based on their beliefs about you know,

490
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:38,960
Speaker 2: pie in the sky ideals for society. The military is

491
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:41,920
Speaker 2: not a social experiment, right.

492
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:45,680
Speaker 4: It's amazing that we still can't have these conversations without

493
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 4: just getting to the that group of twenty humans over there,

494
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:52,879
Speaker 4: are they going to be a more lethal fighting force

495
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:57,239
Speaker 4: with a woman or two or without the end? And

496
00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:00,360
Speaker 4: then somebody honestly answered that question, and then whichever gonna

497
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 4: make it the most lethal, Let's do that. If making

498
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:05,440
Speaker 4: it all women makes it more lethal, let's do that.

499
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 3: I don't care. I just wanted to beat the Chinese

500
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,160
Speaker 3: when the US HiT's the fan, right.

501
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:13,120
Speaker 2: I'm reminded of that piece I read earlier, and we

502
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:17,440
Speaker 2: were talking about about Tanashi Coats and how the romantic

503
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 2: point of view is just about your feelings and the

504
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:25,639
Speaker 2: facts and figures and effectiveness. Why are you denying my truth?

505
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 2: I know I'm right, and I don't care what your

506
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 2: facts are. We can't have that sort of person running

507
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 2: our military. That please, the grown ups are required.

508
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 3: How about that team kine stuff.

509
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 4: Another thing I'm surprised we haven't worked out by twenty

510
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:46,680
Speaker 4: twenty five where we've just decided we're not gonna care

511
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:50,920
Speaker 4: if guys cheat on their wives and that sort of

512
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 4: stuff that doesn't have anything to do with the job.

513
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 4: Or do we care? I mean, why can't we just

514
00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 4: figure that out once and for all.

515
00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 2: Oh, we have. If it's the other guys, it matters completely,

516
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:04,959
Speaker 2: it's incredibly important. If it's our guy, it's irrelevant.

517
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:08,359
Speaker 4: Seventy seven million people just dond voted for Donald Trump

518
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:10,400
Speaker 4: knowing exactly what kind of guy is when it comes

519
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 4: to women.

520
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:19,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the difference there is it's a binary choice. Probably, sure, sure, yeah, yeah,

521
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 2: I absolutely see your point. At the same time, it

522
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 2: feels kind of case by case ish to me. Okay,

523
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 2: I mean, it's not a sin to have an unhappy

524
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,439
Speaker 2: marriage and before the paperwork's done, maybe you've got a

525
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 2: girlfriend or a boyfriend. Well, according to some people, it

526
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:37,639
Speaker 2: is a sin. But you know, in my world, I

527
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 2: get that it's fine. If you're like abusive and you know,

528
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 2: I don't love If I found out a friend of

529
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 2: mine had, for instance, produced a child with soon to

530
00:28:54,760 --> 00:29:01,360
Speaker 2: be wife number three while still married to wife number two,

531
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:07,959
Speaker 2: and was stopping strangers in hotels.

532
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 4: Who was also married. The that woman was married and

533
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 4: her husband was upstairs with the kids, that's a horrible story.

534
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 2: You almost need a chart, like we're doing a murder podcast.

535
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 2: But anyway, story with her kids upstairs and her husband's

536
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:22,959
Speaker 2: in the host yeah, same hotel room. Yeah, but anyway. Uh,

537
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:25,960
Speaker 2: if I found that that about a person, I would

538
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 2: definitely think, oh boy, Okay, I know what sort of

539
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 2: fell I'm dealing with here, right, case by case basis,

540
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:36,640
Speaker 2: I don't like his chances at all for a variety

541
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 2: of reasons. Okay, but I respect Pete hegseeth, and I

542
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 2: value his voice. Well, I think, just having looked at

543
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 2: the various like modern Republican senators in which way they're leaning,

544
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 2: I don't like his chances.

545
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 4: I think Fetterman hinted he's a yes. So then you

546
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:56,160
Speaker 4: only need to get to forty nine Republican senators right

547
00:29:56,280 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 4: if yes, but there are according to Mark Alprin, yeah, yesterday,

548
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 4: a dozen pretty close to hard nos among the Republicans,

549
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:06,920
Speaker 4: which is way more than would doomi, which includes Mitch

550
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 4: McConnell and a variety of other people whoever replaced Mitt Romney.

551
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 2: You know who doesn't have a chance. I'll tell you

552
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 2: next Okay.

553
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 3: We'll finish strong next day.

554
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:23,040
Speaker 10: Here, it's looking like the Supreme Court is going to

555
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 10: uphold the ban on TikTok starting this weekend. If the

556
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:30,440
Speaker 10: band goes into effect, Americans can still see tiktoks, but

557
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 10: the apple will stop working due to a lack of updates.

558
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:37,480
Speaker 3: It's pretty much what happened to President Biden. Yeah, I

559
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 3: didn't know that till yesterday.

560
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 4: The TikTok app, it doesn't like disappear from your phone

561
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 4: or whatever, and you can still get it. It's just

562
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 4: they're not going to be able to update it or anything.

563
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 4: And over time it will work, it'll get bugs, and

564
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 4: your new phone won't be.

565
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 3: Able to use it, so it'll kind of phase out.

566
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:57,240
Speaker 4: Interesting again, as Jimmy Fallon said, they're starting this weekend,

567
00:30:57,560 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 4: but it's not a hard cut off all of a sudden,

568
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 4: TikTok dis beers this weekend.

569
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 2: No, you just can't download the app. You could still

570
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 2: access it online theoretically. I don't know how that differs

571
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 2: the experience from having the actual app. I guess people,

572
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 2: I was listening to a technical explanation of the how

573
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 2: it develops bugs and win and then eventually it doesn't

574
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 2: work at all. Stuff. But it was just it was

575
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:19,400
Speaker 2: a very dry and be over my head.

576
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 4: I'm guessing there'll be a lot of reporting next week

577
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:23,959
Speaker 4: about how well it is or isn't still working on

578
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 4: people's phones.

579
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, how about your youngsters. You get your homework done,

580
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:29,920
Speaker 2: learn to read and write.

581
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 3: To go on a date, Oh my god.

582
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, go have a couple of beers by the overpass.

583
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 2: Don't drive, just go live life. Oh my god. So

584
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 2: you gave a great it's so cool, it really is.

585
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 2: Oh that's you gave a great tease.

586
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 3: And I don't remember what it was.

587
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 2: Oh it was. Which nominee for the cabinet is absolutely

588
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:55,600
Speaker 2: not going to make it? And that would be, uh,

589
00:31:56,160 --> 00:32:01,160
Speaker 2: the perhaps highest profile guy, Robert F. Kennedy Junior. I'm

590
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:07,240
Speaker 2: looking at a pretty good list of you know how

591
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 2: many yes's and no's and maybe's probably there are in

592
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:16,959
Speaker 2: the Senate, and he has a whole lot of people

593
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:20,520
Speaker 2: who are barely even able to say, yeah, we'll give

594
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 2: him a good look. A lot of a lot of Republicans,

595
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:29,800
Speaker 2: modern Republicans are very hesitant or very skeptical about him.

596
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:31,240
Speaker 3: So you're predicting he goes down.

597
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:34,000
Speaker 2: I am. I am indeed, so how I'm not rooting

598
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:36,000
Speaker 2: for it, per se. It'll be interesting to see. And again,

599
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:38,840
Speaker 2: he is a very bright guy. So how the hearings

600
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:40,720
Speaker 2: go nobody knows, but I don't love his chance.

601
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 3: How will Maha react to that?

602
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:49,960
Speaker 2: Make America healthy? And yeah, they will react badly and angrily.

603
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 4: Practically everybody I know who's into that, the sort of

604
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 4: thing has Maga and Maha in their.

605
00:32:57,480 --> 00:32:58,680
Speaker 3: In their feeds.

606
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 2: Thought. I'm strong, I'm strong.

607
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 3: Get ready with Katie Green and.

608
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:13,520

Speaker 3: Here's your host for final thoughts, Joe Getty.

610
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 2: Hey, let's get a final thought from everybody on the

611
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:20,720
Speaker 2: crew to wrap things up for the day. Let's begin

612
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 2: with our technical director, Michaelangelo. Michael, what's your final thought?

613
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:27,840
Speaker 2: I agree with you guys. Young people, if you're listening, go.

614
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 9: Find that cute girl, take her out for ice cream,

615
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 9: Go to a square dance, Get out.

616
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 3: There, Get out there.

617
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:39,400
Speaker 2: Katie Greener esteemed Newswoman. As a final thought, Katie.

618
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:41,200
Speaker 6: I just came across an interesting fact.

619
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 4: They've now arrested forty people that were looting these fires

620
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:47,440
Speaker 4: in LA not one of them from the area.

621
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 3: They all traveled there for the looting.

622
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 2: Wow, they hang horse thieves or they used to just

623
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:59,080
Speaker 2: say stand story. Yeah yeah, indeed, My god, there can't

624
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:00,959
Speaker 2: be a sanctions severe enough Jackie.

625
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:03,160
Speaker 4: Final thought, This might be all you need to know

626
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:08,319
Speaker 4: about politics. One of the Democratic senators who's already announced

627
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:15,120
Speaker 4: he's a no vote, Senator Richard Blumenthal, for decades lied

628
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:17,879
Speaker 4: about being a Vietnam vet, then we all found out

629
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:20,640
Speaker 4: he wasn't, and he's still a US senator and gets

630
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:22,439
Speaker 4: to grill the potential sect deaf.

631
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:23,480
Speaker 3: Are you kidding me?

632
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:26,400
Speaker 2: My final thought. I'm looking at the handicapping from the

633
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:29,920
Speaker 2: various nominees, including Christy Nome, and the first thing they

634
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 2: mentioned is that she fatally shot her dog. Credit cricket.

635
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:35,880
Speaker 2: Tell you what you need to shoot your dog, Go

636
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:38,520
Speaker 2: ahead and shoot it, but don't put it in your

637
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 2: buck armstrong.

638
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:42,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's wrapping up another grueling four hour workday.

639
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:43,840
Speaker 2: I'll see it tomorrow.

640
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:47,080
Speaker 4: God bless America.

641
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:50,719
Speaker 2: I'm strong and Getty. He has to stop like the

642
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:55,080
Speaker 2: day before yesterday. Yep, absolutely, are you sure? Oh dead shure.

643
00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:58,359
Speaker 2: I've been thinking that we really all need a trendous hug.

644
00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 3: Get the hell out of here. Do you think it's

645
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:01,080
Speaker 3: a little ot?

646
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 2: It's one hundred on the crazy meter? Are you shuting?

647
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:07,040
Speaker 2: So let's go with a bang. I think our generation

648
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 2: is very aware, like a lot of us are activists,

649
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:13,200
Speaker 2: and I think that awareness influences our drinking habits. On

650
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 2: that high note, bye bye Armstrong and Getty.
