WEBVTT - Would You Shoot Greenlanders In The Legs?! 0:00:01.840 --> 0:00:06.120 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George 0:00:06.200 --> 0:00:10.240 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. 0:00:10.160 --> 0:00:12.480 Arm Strong and Getty and he. 0:00:15.360 --> 0:00:24.799 Armstrong and Getty jump ahead a day. I just saw 0:00:24.960 --> 0:00:26.800 Senator Marco Rubio. 0:00:27.040 --> 0:00:32.760 Whose confermation hearing is tomorrow for Secretary of State. We'll 0:00:32.800 --> 0:00:35.440 say in his opening remarks that China has lied and 0:00:35.479 --> 0:00:38.360 cheated its way to superpower status at the expense of 0:00:38.360 --> 0:00:40.839 the United States, according to. 0:00:40.840 --> 0:00:42.320 The syllable truth. 0:00:42.400 --> 0:00:46.560 Absolutely man, I love a secretary of state coming in that. 0:00:46.560 --> 0:00:51.320 That's his opening point of view. That's freaking awesome. 0:00:51.920 --> 0:00:54.160 Time to call a spade a spade and a communist 0:00:54.200 --> 0:00:54.760 a communist. 0:00:55.000 --> 0:00:58.160 But for today, makeup America, grow up, stand up, get up. 0:00:58.760 --> 0:01:02.320 For today it pull your socks up. As John Lennon right, 0:01:04.280 --> 0:01:08.320 Pete heggsth is trying to be confirmed as Trump's choice 0:01:08.360 --> 0:01:13.440 for Secretary of Defense. And in cases they don't follow 0:01:13.480 --> 0:01:16.160 this sort of stuff very closely, it's worth knowing that 0:01:17.760 --> 0:01:22.000 for a lot of the media and the politicians themselves. 0:01:21.360 --> 0:01:24.320 It's just yar side or boo our side. 0:01:24.360 --> 0:01:26.920 They just want to shoot down whoever the other side 0:01:27.360 --> 0:01:30.120 nominates with some sort of feeling that if they have 0:01:30.160 --> 0:01:32.759 to go to their second choice, you've won something. Though 0:01:32.800 --> 0:01:35.400 I haven't seen that displayed in my life on any 0:01:35.480 --> 0:01:40.520 level that it really has any lasting impact. But so 0:01:40.680 --> 0:01:44.360 they would feel like MSNBC and the Democrat senators would 0:01:44.360 --> 0:01:46.959 feel like they won something if they could stop Hezeth 0:01:47.000 --> 0:01:51.320 from being nominated. Okay, fine, just more than I think 0:01:51.400 --> 0:01:53.680 than the particular issues of the person that they're growing, 0:01:53.760 --> 0:01:54.400 don't you think. 0:01:54.320 --> 0:01:57.720 Oh yeah, absolutely, it's just posting a win for our side, 0:01:58.040 --> 0:02:00.000 even if, as you indicate, the wind doesn't do you 0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:00.640 any good. 0:02:00.920 --> 0:02:02.840 Yeah, just go to a different choice. 0:02:02.840 --> 0:02:05.960 And and and they and they are playing out the 0:02:06.120 --> 0:02:11.480 president's policy anyway as secretary of State or sect deef 0:02:11.560 --> 0:02:14.320 or whatever. If they didn't, they get fired by their boss. Right, 0:02:14.680 --> 0:02:16.480 So where should we start on some of that? They're 0:02:16.560 --> 0:02:22.360 in the third hour of the Hegxeth hearings. That would 0:02:22.400 --> 0:02:27.200 be a grueling day, man, And I I don't know 0:02:27.200 --> 0:02:29.920 how you not lose your temper. That'd be the main 0:02:29.960 --> 0:02:31.840 thing I'd be saying there, don't get angry, don't get angry, 0:02:31.840 --> 0:02:34.360 don't get angry. That's I'd be saying to myself. Stay cool, 0:02:34.440 --> 0:02:36.600 stay cool, stay cool. As they call you all kinds 0:02:36.600 --> 0:02:39.320 of names and try to drag you into not into 0:02:39.360 --> 0:02:39.959 losing your cool. 0:02:39.960 --> 0:02:44.320 That's one of their goals, right, yeah, although it depends. 0:02:44.400 --> 0:02:47.920 You know, some some can get that boil at just 0:02:48.040 --> 0:02:50.639 the right level. But it's a it's a dangerous game 0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:52.079 to play. You don't me. 0:02:52.120 --> 0:02:55.160 I'd go with you, you pizza half, you mother plag 0:02:55.200 --> 0:02:56.840 and try to climb over the table, and then people 0:02:56.919 --> 0:02:59.040 have to hold me back. That's why I said some 0:03:00.200 --> 0:03:01.200 too specific. 0:03:01.400 --> 0:03:03.160 He Hanson, where do we want to start in these? 0:03:03.919 --> 0:03:06.080 Okay, here we go, Here we go, Pete exit being 0:03:06.160 --> 0:03:07.120 questioned by somebody. 0:03:07.320 --> 0:03:10.680 So what we're talking about here specifically is women in 0:03:10.840 --> 0:03:16.520 ground combat roles in jobs like infantrymen or artillerymen or 0:03:16.560 --> 0:03:19.880 special forces. Until about ten years ago, that wasn't the case. 0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:23.919 Under Secretary of Panetta, those roles were opened up to 0:03:24.040 --> 0:03:28.680 women to serve in. As President Trump indicated all that 0:03:28.760 --> 0:03:31.440 he plans to rescind or alter that guidance. 0:03:32.720 --> 0:03:34.880 You're correct to point out, Senator, that these are the 0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:37.160 decisions that the commander in chief will have the prerogative 0:03:37.160 --> 0:03:40.840 to make. He has not indicated me to me that 0:03:40.920 --> 0:03:43.440 he has plans to change whether or not women. 0:03:43.240 --> 0:03:44.960 Would have access to these roles. 0:03:45.640 --> 0:03:49.600 However, I would point out ensuring that standards are equal 0:03:49.680 --> 0:03:53.040 and high is of importance to him and great importance 0:03:53.080 --> 0:03:56.360 to me, because in those ground combat roles, what is 0:03:56.440 --> 0:03:58.800 true is that the weight of the ruck on your 0:03:58.840 --> 0:04:00.960 back doesn't change, the weight of the one to five 0:04:00.960 --> 0:04:03.120 to five round that you have to carry doesn't change, 0:04:03.720 --> 0:04:06.160 the weight of the two forty provo machine gun you 0:04:06.240 --> 0:04:08.760 might have to carry doesn't change. And so whether it's 0:04:08.760 --> 0:04:11.240 a man or a woman, they have to meet the 0:04:11.280 --> 0:04:15.000 same high standards, and Senator, in any place where those 0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:19.080 things have been eroded or in courses, criteria have been 0:04:19.200 --> 0:04:25.640 changed in order to meet quotas, racial quotas, or gender quotas. 0:04:26.040 --> 0:04:32.040 That is putting a focus on something other than readiness, standards, meritocracy, 0:04:32.080 --> 0:04:34.919 and lethality. So that's the kind of review I'm talking about, 0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:38.960 not whether women have access to ground combat. 0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:40.520 R So, what percentage of America would agree with what 0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:41.080 he just said? 0:04:41.080 --> 0:04:43.600 There huge, huge, huge. 0:04:43.480 --> 0:04:46.720 Absolute majority, without a doubt. I'm looking at Byron. 0:04:46.560 --> 0:04:48.440 York from the Washington If you were to poll people 0:04:48.440 --> 0:04:51.719 who served in combat and therefore really know what they're 0:04:51.720 --> 0:04:54.039 talking about, it would be unanimous Byron York. 0:04:54.120 --> 0:04:59.000 Washington Examiner says that Kristen's Jilibrand as her attempts failed. 0:04:59.360 --> 0:05:01.680 She's the demoocratic senator from New York. Let's hear a 0:05:01.720 --> 0:05:02.240 little of her. 0:05:02.720 --> 0:05:05.680 Everything you've said in these public statements is politics. I 0:05:05.680 --> 0:05:06.400 don't want women. 0:05:06.480 --> 0:05:08.320 I don't want moms. What's wrong with a mom? 0:05:08.400 --> 0:05:10.640 By the way, once you have babies, you therefore are 0:05:10.680 --> 0:05:13.200 no longer able to be lethal. I mean, you're basically 0:05:13.240 --> 0:05:16.040 saying women after they have children can't ever serve in 0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:18.880 the military in a combat role. It's a silly thing 0:05:18.920 --> 0:05:21.640 to say. It's a silly thing to say. Beneath the 0:05:21.640 --> 0:05:25.960 position that you are aspiring to to denigrate LGBTQ service 0:05:26.000 --> 0:05:29.760 members is a mistake. If you are a sharpshooter, you're 0:05:29.760 --> 0:05:32.919 as lethal regardless of what your gender identity is, regardless 0:05:32.960 --> 0:05:33.560 of who you love. 0:05:33.880 --> 0:05:38.520 Senator, as the President has stated, I don't disagree with 0:05:38.920 --> 0:05:42.360 the overturn of Donuts Hotel Great. 0:05:42.240 --> 0:05:44.840 Because I don't want you thinking can't serve if your 0:05:44.920 --> 0:05:47.599 mom can't serve your LGBTQ. 0:05:48.600 --> 0:05:50.960 He's like, who are you yelling at? And why? 0:05:51.200 --> 0:05:56.360 Well, okay, then all right, So I would just say, hey, 0:05:56.440 --> 0:06:02.760 Democrats keep thinking that that Twitter worldview is the winning argument. 0:06:03.000 --> 0:06:05.200 Do it go, take it to the mat. 0:06:05.680 --> 0:06:09.440 Just keep pushing it, cycle after cycle. That's all about 0:06:09.560 --> 0:06:12.440 LGBTQ and identity, politics and everything. 0:06:12.680 --> 0:06:15.800 Keep doing it. I'm all for you. I'm on your side. 0:06:16.120 --> 0:06:20.720 Kirsten Gillibrand is the classic mid wit. I think that's 0:06:20.800 --> 0:06:23.520 the term we're supposed to use these days. Hl Menkin 0:06:23.520 --> 0:06:26.880 would have called her a mediocrity. Whichever term searchs you 0:06:27.040 --> 0:06:27.719 suits you the best. 0:06:27.839 --> 0:06:29.640 Maybe I think that's probably true. I remember when she 0:06:29.720 --> 0:06:32.479 ran for president and I wasn't impressed. But she's also 0:06:32.720 --> 0:06:34.680 trying to get re elected in New York where a 0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:36.800 lot of her constituents agree with what she just said, 0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:37.800 and that's her job. 0:06:37.680 --> 0:06:40.279 So staying in office is her job. 0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:43.080 Again, to your point, her job is not to figure 0:06:43.080 --> 0:06:45.560 out who would be the best second f right. She 0:06:46.000 --> 0:06:47.560 probably didn't even consider that. 0:06:48.440 --> 0:06:51.720 So here he is, how do you say the name 0:06:51.760 --> 0:06:56.000 Herno Rono Herono? But this is where they start getting 0:06:56.040 --> 0:06:59.760 into his personal life and questioning him on haven't heard this. 0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:02.599 Since you became a legal adult, have you ever made 0:07:02.760 --> 0:07:07.839 unwanted requests for sexual favors or committed any verbal or 0:07:07.960 --> 0:07:13.040 physical harassment or assault of a sexual nature. No, Senator, 0:07:13.400 --> 0:07:16.200 have you ever faced discipline or entered into a settlement 0:07:16.280 --> 0:07:18.200 relating to this kind of conduct. 0:07:19.840 --> 0:07:24.840 Senator, I was falsely accused in October of twenty seventeen. 0:07:25.640 --> 0:07:28.600 It was fully investigated, and I was completely cleared. 0:07:29.040 --> 0:07:32.680 I don't think how completely cleared is accurate, but the. 0:07:35.040 --> 0:07:36.400 Fact is that. 0:07:36.360 --> 0:07:41.200 Your own lawyer said that you entered into an NDA 0:07:41.880 --> 0:07:45.800 paid a person who accused you of raping her some 0:07:45.920 --> 0:07:49.000 of money to make sure that she did not file 0:07:49.160 --> 0:07:53.280 a complaint. Moving on, as secretary, you will be in 0:07:53.400 --> 0:07:57.200 charge of maintaining good order and discipline by enforcing the 0:07:57.320 --> 0:08:01.880 Uniform Code of Military Justice you see in addition to 0:08:01.920 --> 0:08:04.280 the sexual assault allegations. And by the way, the answer 0:08:04.280 --> 0:08:07.480 to my second question should have been yes. I have 0:08:07.600 --> 0:08:11.760 read multiple reports of your regularly being drunk at work, 0:08:12.920 --> 0:08:15.720 including by people who worked with your Fox News. 0:08:16.000 --> 0:08:17.520 Do you know that being drunk. 0:08:17.280 --> 0:08:20.400 At work is prohibited for service members under the UCMJ. 0:08:22.480 --> 0:08:28.080 Senator, those are multiple false, anonymous reports pedaled by NBCD. 0:08:28.240 --> 0:08:32.600 You know that directly to the dozens of men and women. 0:08:34.559 --> 0:08:35.800 I worry I'm not hearing that. 0:08:36.320 --> 0:08:36.800 My question. 0:08:37.320 --> 0:08:39.679 I like the question, do you know you're not supposed 0:08:39.720 --> 0:08:43.040 to be drunk at work. Yeah, yeah, I know. 0:08:45.160 --> 0:08:49.240 Mazy Herono is a seventy seven year old progressive crank. 0:08:51.080 --> 0:08:53.400 So I just I've just looked ahead on this. This 0:08:53.559 --> 0:08:56.520 gets into whether or not he'd shoot protesters in the legs, 0:08:56.600 --> 0:08:57.760 So I want to hear this. 0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:00.720 The next one. 0:09:00.920 --> 0:09:04.480 In June of twenty twenty, then President Trump directed former 0:09:04.520 --> 0:09:08.200 Secretary of Defense Mark Esper to shoot protesters in the 0:09:08.280 --> 0:09:09.679 legs in downtown d C. 0:09:10.720 --> 0:09:11.200 An order. 0:09:11.320 --> 0:09:15.760 Secretary Esper refused to comply with would you carry out 0:09:15.800 --> 0:09:18.160 such an order from President Trump? 0:09:19.559 --> 0:09:23.240 Senator I was in the Washington DC National Guard unit 0:09:23.280 --> 0:09:25.960 that was in Lafayette Square during those would you carry. 0:09:25.760 --> 0:09:29.240 Out shoe protest in the legs? 0:09:29.320 --> 0:09:32.520 I saw as the service agents to get injured, b 0:09:32.880 --> 0:09:36.079 rids trying to jump over the fence, se church on fire, 0:09:36.240 --> 0:09:36.760 and destruyer. 0:09:37.040 --> 0:09:39.200 That sounds to me that you will comply with such 0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:43.480 an order, you will shoot protesters in the leg moved on. 0:09:46.080 --> 0:09:51.959 Hawaii. I've been to Hawaii. I've enjoyed Hawaii. I've talked 0:09:51.960 --> 0:09:55.319 to Hawaiians. You can do better than that half wit 0:09:57.080 --> 0:09:59.719 elect somebody who's got like two thirds of a wit 0:10:01.520 --> 0:10:06.160 looking up at Senator Warren. Elizabeth Warren, I've been looking 0:10:06.280 --> 0:10:08.400 waiting for her today. She says, I want to pick 0:10:08.480 --> 0:10:11.640 up on the questioning of Senator Herono. So that's exciting. 0:10:11.760 --> 0:10:15.840 So hey, take this further down the road. Well, we 0:10:15.960 --> 0:10:19.280 have more Mazie Herono, who I'm actually enjoying in a 0:10:19.320 --> 0:10:22.520 perverse sort of way. Uh seventy six. I think it's 0:10:22.520 --> 0:10:24.720 clear what she's talking about, but this is this is great. 0:10:25.360 --> 0:10:30.079 President Luck has attacked our allies in recent weeks, refusing 0:10:30.200 --> 0:10:33.479 to rule out using military force to take over Greenland 0:10:34.120 --> 0:10:37.840 and the Panama Canal, and they threatening to take to 0:10:37.880 --> 0:10:41.520 make Canada the fifty first state. Would you carry out 0:10:41.520 --> 0:10:45.160 an order from President Trump to seize Greenland, a territory 0:10:45.240 --> 0:10:49.680 of our NATO ally Denmark, by force? Or how would 0:10:49.679 --> 0:10:52.880 you comply with an order to take over the Panama Canal? 0:10:54.320 --> 0:10:54.760 Senator. 0:10:54.760 --> 0:10:58.640 I will emphasize that President Trump received seventy seven million 0:10:58.720 --> 0:11:00.000 votes to be the lawful commander. 0:11:00.200 --> 0:11:03.880 Talking about the election, my question is would you use 0:11:04.480 --> 0:11:12.760 our military to take over Greenland or an ally of Denmark? 0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:14.040 Senator. 0:11:14.040 --> 0:11:15.680 One of the things that President Trump is so good 0:11:15.679 --> 0:11:18.440 at is never strategically tipping his hand and so I 0:11:18.440 --> 0:11:21.240 would never in this public forum give one way or 0:11:21.240 --> 0:11:24.680 another direct orders the president in any context. 0:11:24.679 --> 0:11:27.360 That sounds to me that you would contemplate carrying out 0:11:27.400 --> 0:11:29.880 such an order to basically invade Greenland. 0:11:32.000 --> 0:11:36.160 Mister he says, was you shoot Greenlanders in the legs 0:11:36.400 --> 0:11:41.840 if you invaded and they protest? Senator, that's a ridiculous 0:11:42.160 --> 0:11:46.559 I can only assume you would shoot Greenlanders in their legs. 0:11:46.800 --> 0:11:49.600 You know what's against the law to be drunk in Greenland. 0:11:52.200 --> 0:11:57.520 But you, having shot a Greenlander in the legs, get 0:11:57.640 --> 0:11:58.959 drunk and come on to her. 0:12:00.760 --> 0:12:05.440 Would you secu pass a drunk Greenlander who was limping 0:12:05.440 --> 0:12:07.200 along having been shot in the leg. 0:12:09.440 --> 0:12:11.959 Have you in the past answer the question? 0:12:12.600 --> 0:12:15.040 I just love how she borderline sounds drunk and goes 0:12:15.120 --> 0:12:18.000 you understand it against the rule to be drunk. I 0:12:18.040 --> 0:12:19.800 realize that's the way she talks. But yeah, she did 0:12:19.840 --> 0:12:21.679 something a little drunk. You know you're not supposed to 0:12:21.720 --> 0:12:27.400 drink the work, right, She got a just a nit 0:12:27.480 --> 0:12:32.320 wit at age seventy seven. Now we're taking ridiculous grand 0:12:32.400 --> 0:12:35.960 standing questions. What do we where's the greatest superpower on Earth? 0:12:36.120 --> 0:12:37.040 Act like it? 0:12:37.800 --> 0:12:41.760 Ninety nine percent of hearings are our grand standing performative 0:12:42.559 --> 0:12:45.559 bs for talk radio to mock one side or the other. 0:12:45.800 --> 0:12:47.480 I do want to hear the Tim Kaine stuff. It's 0:12:47.520 --> 0:12:47.960 kind of long. 0:12:48.600 --> 0:12:48.720 Uh. 0:12:49.080 --> 0:12:52.439 He's the senator from wherever he was Hitlar Glint's running mate. 0:12:52.440 --> 0:12:53.160 You might remember him. 0:12:53.200 --> 0:12:55.679 Nobody cares Virginia maybe. 0:12:55.960 --> 0:12:57.960 Or remember they featured him on Saturday Night Live a 0:12:57.960 --> 0:13:00.440 couple of weeks ago. It was hilarious. Nobody remembered who 0:13:00.480 --> 0:13:01.679 he was. That was the whole point. 0:13:01.800 --> 0:13:07.040 Anyway, he really gets into Hegzeth's personal life. 0:13:06.800 --> 0:13:07.800 And we're going to play that for you. 0:13:07.800 --> 0:13:08.160 Come up. 0:13:11.760 --> 0:13:14.160 The bit on SNL real quickly is they had a 0:13:14.160 --> 0:13:18.200 game show and they played a show to tweet from 0:13:18.200 --> 0:13:20.480 one of the contestants that said, this is the most 0:13:20.520 --> 0:13:22.199 important election of our lifetime. 0:13:22.240 --> 0:13:22.960 Who's with me? 0:13:24.200 --> 0:13:26.720 Back in twenty sixteen for a Democrat who was voting 0:13:26.760 --> 0:13:29.840 for Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine, And then they marched 0:13:29.840 --> 0:13:32.319 out Tim Kine, the real Tim Kaine. Ones announce said 0:13:32.320 --> 0:13:34.240 who is this? And they had no idea. I had 0:13:34.240 --> 0:13:36.920 no idea as a political junkie. That's how quickly you 0:13:36.960 --> 0:13:41.280 forget the most important election of our lifetime participants. Anyway, 0:13:41.720 --> 0:13:45.839 Tim Kaine, who's still a senator apparently was questioning Pete 0:13:45.840 --> 0:13:48.480 Hegseeth about his personal life and trying to make this 0:13:49.120 --> 0:13:51.480 a reason not to have him be Secretary of Defense. 0:13:52.440 --> 0:13:53.480 Thank you, mister hegg Seth. 0:13:53.520 --> 0:13:56.480 I'm looking forward to this opportunity to talk. I want 0:13:56.480 --> 0:13:59.440 to return to the incident that you referenced a minute ago, 0:13:59.720 --> 0:14:02.880 that he in Monterey, California, in October twenty seventeen. At 0:14:02.920 --> 0:14:05.360 that time, you were still married to your second wife, correct, 0:14:08.320 --> 0:14:11.240 I believe so, And you had just fathered a child 0:14:11.360 --> 0:14:13.199 by a woman who would later become your. 0:14:13.200 --> 0:14:15.160 Third wife, correct, Senator. 0:14:15.280 --> 0:14:20.080 I was falsely charged, fully investigated, and completely cleared. 0:14:20.680 --> 0:14:23.600 So you think you are completely cleared because you committed 0:14:23.640 --> 0:14:26.440 no crime, that's your definition of cleared. You had just 0:14:26.640 --> 0:14:29.280 fathered a child two months before by a woman that 0:14:29.400 --> 0:14:33.000 was not your wife. I am shocked that you would 0:14:33.040 --> 0:14:35.840 stand here and say you are completely cleared. Can you 0:14:35.920 --> 0:14:40.120 so casually cheat on a second wife and sheet on 0:14:40.200 --> 0:14:42.080 the mother of a child who had been born two 0:14:42.080 --> 0:14:44.840 months before, and you tell us you are completely cleared? 0:14:45.120 --> 0:14:48.320 So how was that a complete clear Senator? Her child's 0:14:48.360 --> 0:14:51.280 name is Gwendolen Hope hag Seth, and she's a child 0:14:51.280 --> 0:14:54.520 of God, and she's seven years old, and you cheated 0:14:54.680 --> 0:14:57.200 on the mother of that child less than two months 0:14:57.280 --> 0:14:58.840 after that daughter was born, didn't you? 0:15:00.200 --> 0:15:01.320 Those were false charges? 0:15:01.600 --> 0:15:04.120 Well, no, fully investigated, and I was completely cleared. 0:15:04.160 --> 0:15:06.800 And I am so useful in the marriage. I have 0:15:06.880 --> 0:15:07.280 to decide. 0:15:08.480 --> 0:15:12.400 You've admitted that you had sex at that hotel in 0:15:12.440 --> 0:15:15.360 October twenty seventeen. You said it was consensual. Isn't that 0:15:15.400 --> 0:15:21.000 correct anything. You've admitted that it was consensual and you 0:15:21.000 --> 0:15:22.040 were still married and you. 0:15:22.080 --> 0:15:23.120 Just had a child by another. 0:15:23.160 --> 0:15:24.480 Wow, again, how do. 0:15:24.440 --> 0:15:28.000 You explain your completely false charges against me? You fully 0:15:28.120 --> 0:15:28.960 investigated and. 0:15:28.960 --> 0:15:29.840 I was completely clear. 0:15:29.920 --> 0:15:32.720 You have admitted that you had sex while you were 0:15:32.720 --> 0:15:34.840 married to wife two, after you just had fathered a 0:15:34.920 --> 0:15:35.960 child by wife three. 0:15:36.600 --> 0:15:37.480 You've admitted that. 0:15:37.640 --> 0:15:40.320 Now, if it had been a sexual assault, that would 0:15:40.320 --> 0:15:43.920 be disqualifying to be secretary defense, wouldn't it? 0:15:43.920 --> 0:15:44.840 It was a false claim? 0:15:44.920 --> 0:15:46.119 Then in a false claim. 0:15:45.840 --> 0:15:49.400 Now, if it had been a sexual assault, that would 0:15:49.440 --> 0:15:52.240 be disqualifying to be a secretary of defense, wouldn't it? 0:15:53.560 --> 0:15:55.040 That was a false claim. 0:15:55.200 --> 0:15:56.680 So you're talking about a hypothetical. 0:15:56.800 --> 0:16:00.640 So you can't tell me whether someone who is committed 0:16:00.760 --> 0:16:04.120 a sexual assault is disqualified from being a Secretary of Defense. 0:16:04.680 --> 0:16:05.040 Senator. 0:16:05.080 --> 0:16:07.560 I know, in my instance, and I'm talking about my 0:16:07.720 --> 0:16:11.120 instance only, it was a false claim, but you acknowledge it. 0:16:11.440 --> 0:16:14.640 But you acknowledge that you cheated on your wife, and 0:16:14.640 --> 0:16:17.400 that you cheated on the woman by whom you had 0:16:17.440 --> 0:16:18.280 just fathered a child. 0:16:18.400 --> 0:16:21.400 You have ad met at that. I will allow your 0:16:21.440 --> 0:16:22.240 words to speak for them. 0:16:22.240 --> 0:16:23.520 You're not retracting that today. 0:16:23.520 --> 0:16:23.920 That's good. 0:16:24.640 --> 0:16:27.480 Wow oof wow. 0:16:27.640 --> 0:16:30.880 So he's got a very ugly don't approve of it 0:16:31.000 --> 0:16:32.560 personal life obviously. 0:16:33.200 --> 0:16:36.160 Oh yeah, that's been pretty well conceited by all he 0:16:36.320 --> 0:16:36.880 ran around. 0:16:37.080 --> 0:16:38.360 This isn't new information. 0:16:38.480 --> 0:16:42.120 But he could have responded with, so are you arguing 0:16:42.160 --> 0:16:44.400 Bill Clinton should have never have been president? Or I 0:16:44.440 --> 0:16:48.640 know you went to Harvard John F. Kennedy's School of Government. 0:16:48.760 --> 0:16:51.080 Should his name be taken off that building? I mean, 0:16:51.280 --> 0:16:54.000 my lifestyle is not much different than their lifestyle. I 0:16:54.040 --> 0:16:55.800 know you wouldn't say that, but it's true. 0:16:56.720 --> 0:16:59.240 Or yeah and absolutely throw in And I regret the 0:16:59.280 --> 0:17:02.680 way I acted.

I've changed completely. 0:17:06.400 --> 0:17:07.600 That's some ugly stuff there. 0:17:08.720 --> 0:17:11.200 That his wife's business, but it's current wife didn't really 0:17:11.240 --> 0:17:13.040 dig hearing it either.

It's with the guys in this audience 0:17:36.720 --> 0:17:40.119 who've had my back and I've had theirs. We've been 0:17:40.160 --> 0:17:42.000 in some of the darkest and most difficult places you 0:17:42.040 --> 0:17:44.600 can ever be in. You come back a different person, 0:17:45.800 --> 0:17:47.360 and only by the grace of God am I. 0:17:47.320 --> 0:17:48.920 Here before you today. 0:17:49.160 --> 0:17:53.960 I'm doing this job for them, thank all of them. 0:17:55.480 --> 0:17:57.679 And I'm getting drilled and insulted by a bunch of 0:17:57.800 --> 0:18:00.680 rich halfwits who the most difficult thing they ever done 0:18:00.800 --> 0:18:03.000 is accepted their phony master's degree. 0:18:04.560 --> 0:18:07.280 Mark Levin tweeted out, is herono part of an S 0:18:07.359 --> 0:18:12.639 and L skit agreed, We played that a little bit earlier. 0:18:12.680 --> 0:18:14.240 If you missed it, get the podcast. 0:18:15.119 --> 0:18:18.400 Yeah, yeah, I wish there had been more of her. 0:18:18.560 --> 0:18:23.240 She was so funny. Unintentionally speaking. Speaking of unintentionally funny, 0:18:23.240 --> 0:18:27.040 you've got the beer swinging fake Indian from Massachusetts or 0:18:27.040 --> 0:18:32.280 wherever she's from. Elizabeth Warren. She's a Havid academic. She 0:18:32.680 --> 0:18:35.280 is in favor of all things progressive. She has a 0:18:35.400 --> 0:18:40.520 problem with the actual fighting man. Pete Hagsith. I like 0:18:40.600 --> 0:18:43.639 this conversation, though, I'm glad it's taking place. Seventy nine Michael, 0:18:43.880 --> 0:18:44.840 page fourty eight of. 0:18:44.800 --> 0:18:47.719 Your book, you claim that women should not be in 0:18:47.800 --> 0:18:53.320 combat roles meant because men are distracted by women. And 0:18:53.359 --> 0:18:56.159 then ten weeks ago you appeared on the Sean Ryan 0:18:56.240 --> 0:19:00.439 Show and said, I'm straight up just saying should not 0:19:00.480 --> 0:19:04.800 have women in combat rules. Now, I presume you recall 0:19:04.880 --> 0:19:07.080 making all these statements. 0:19:07.760 --> 0:19:11.040 Senator, I'm not familiar with arcle you're pointing to in 0:19:11.080 --> 0:19:13.960 twenty thirteen, but it underscores my argument completely. It is 0:19:14.000 --> 0:19:17.000 in that twenty thirteen argument I was talking about standard. 0:19:17.119 --> 0:19:18.119 I stand up there. 0:19:18.160 --> 0:19:20.440 What it's always been about, you have the same fight 0:19:20.520 --> 0:19:21.280 has always. 0:19:20.960 --> 0:19:22.760 Been about, So did you directly. 0:19:22.880 --> 0:19:26.280 We've got the video. We're happy to show it. But 0:19:26.320 --> 0:19:28.679 I want to be clear here. For twelve years you 0:19:28.760 --> 0:19:31.480 were quite open about your views, and your views were 0:19:31.520 --> 0:19:37.200 consistently the same. Women are inferiors, soldiers, sailors, marines, airmen 0:19:37.359 --> 0:19:40.959 and guardians. And in case anyone missed the point, and 0:19:41.000 --> 0:19:45.400 these are your words from ten weeks ago. Women absolutely, 0:19:46.040 --> 0:19:50.440 straight up should not be permitted to serve in combat. 0:19:50.760 --> 0:19:51.879 And I notice on each. 0:19:51.760 --> 0:19:55.320 Of these quotes those are said without qualification. It's not 0:19:55.400 --> 0:19:58.119 by how much you can lift or how fast you 0:19:58.160 --> 0:20:03.240 can run. They don't belong in combat, period, or your 0:20:03.280 --> 0:20:08.720 words straight up. And then on November ninth, twenty twenty four, 0:20:08.840 --> 0:20:12.960 just thirty two days after your last public comment saying 0:20:13.000 --> 0:20:16.879 that women absolutely should not be in comment, you declared 0:20:16.960 --> 0:20:22.520 that quote, some of our greatest warriors are women, and 0:20:22.600 --> 0:20:27.320 you support having them serve in combat. Now, that is 0:20:27.520 --> 0:20:33.440 a very very big about face in a very very 0:20:33.480 --> 0:20:38.080 short period of time. So help me understand, mister hag said, 0:20:38.840 --> 0:20:44.760 what extraordinary event happened in that thirty two day period 0:20:45.520 --> 0:20:51.680 that made you change the core values you had expressed 0:20:52.280 --> 0:20:54.560 for the preceding twelve years. 0:20:56.320 --> 0:20:59.560 Senator again, I very much appreciate you bringing up my 0:20:59.600 --> 0:21:03.800 comment from twenty thirteen, because for me, this issue has 0:21:03.920 --> 0:21:07.800 always been about standards. And unfortunately, because of some of 0:21:07.840 --> 0:21:16.200 the people that have been in four years, stop have driven. 0:21:16.160 --> 0:21:19.840 Seen you so and I have the answer. Actually, he 0:21:20.480 --> 0:21:22.639 Pete's not going to give it. The reason why he 0:21:22.760 --> 0:21:26.560 change his opinion was Jony Ernst, the female senator from Iowa, 0:21:26.560 --> 0:21:29.000 who is a Republican, who was very unhappy with those 0:21:29.000 --> 0:21:32.040 things that I think he actually believes, and he needs 0:21:32.040 --> 0:21:35.160
