  Speaker 1: part of his Concerned Veterans group and I was working
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: with at the time Cel Bryant, and we did a
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: performance on stage with Pete here here around town. I
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: liked him then. I thought he was a sharp guy.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: I thought he had a lot of energy and a
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: lot of passion.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: I was going to say, he's got so much passion,
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: especially for this, especially for the veterans. So I'm not
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: surprised that he was here for that because if you
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: if you listen to anybody that's known him for years,
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: one thing that he loves to talk about off the record,
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: you know, one of his favorite things is veterans, military,
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: what he would do. So he was to me he
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: was born for this job. So watching this confirmation hearing
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: has been. It's actually been an eye opener number.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: Two watching it all day, Yeah, I have.
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: I've seen clips you know the day.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Yes, Okay.
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: One of the things, uh, first and foremost, he is
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: absolutely the man for the job. Any why do you
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: say that, Oh, he is so equipped, he's so knowledgeable,
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: he's so you could tell. I mean, first of all,
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: you have all the veterans, all the Navy seals, all
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: these people that showed up for him. I mean there's
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: a petition out. Yeah, the military, they want a hero,
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: they want a warrior.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Break and find military does seem to be behind him?
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: Oh, absolutely they are. And the thing that I was,
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: I'm sure that everybody else that was watching this, it
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: was I don't know if i'd say entertaining. I was
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: so frustrated because every time one of those one of
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: the Democrats senator spoke, it was they wanted that gotcha.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: You know, they were just trying to hammer him. They
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: weren't trying to get to the heart of why he
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: wants this position. They were they were doing what they
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: did to Kavanaugh, right. But what I noticed, Okay, there's
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: a couple of things. First of all, Tim Kine, that
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: man was could have been our vice president. And I'm
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: watching like his wiry hair going in every direction, and
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: I'm looking at him and I'm listening to him, and
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: he's so judgmentally. He's pounding away at him, and everything
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: he said did not make sense to me. He was
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: just trying to harm and you know I was and
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: I kept thinking that would have been our vice president.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: He was fine with Bill Clinton being who he was. Oh,
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: he was buddy buddy with Bill Clinton. He was buddy
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: buddy with m Hoff. Both of those men and the
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: records that they have with the women in their lives
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: abuse em Hoff, Bill Clinton, my god, all right, I
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: won't him go into it. He's done everything. He's terrible,
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: So you know he's okay with that, but it's not okay.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: So then you bring in Mullin from Oklahoma.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Very interesting exchange, Senator Mullen from Oklahoma. Boy, he got
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: some he got some laughlines in there.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: He was brilliant because what he did, what he brought
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: to the table was he basically a mirror. Yeah, basically
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: he brought a mirror and said, let me show y'all something.
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: All of you up there that are trying to conflate
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: things and make Pete look like he's a womaniz and abuser.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: That doesn't that can't work without a drink or whatever.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: How many of you know some liberal leaders who have
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: showed up to vote at night.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Who were drunk in the US Senate?
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, why didn't you get rid of them?
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: He accused US senators, yes, of showing up to vote.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: Drunk, and they had nothing to say.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: They didn't respect.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: They couldn't say anything about it because they know it's true.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: And then he went further. We talked about some of
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: the senators have had an affairs, ended their marriages. Ye,
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: we all know that, but we didn't recall them, So
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: what's your deal.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: He also talked about how the Democrats are trying to say, oh,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Pete Headseth, you're just working for the military industrial complex,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: and he said, we literally just four years ago confirmed
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: General Austin, who was literally working for Raytheon while he
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: was at his hearings. Yes, Pete, Hegseth, not anywhere close
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: to what we literally gave the waiver for four years ago.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: Have you guys forgotten this?
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah? You know. And it's so interesting because another thing
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: that Senator Mullen brought up that I thought was so interesting.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: He said, what why is he not qualified? What makes
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: you qualified? To the senator? The only reason you're sitting
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: in that seat is because you convinced enough people to
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: vote for you. But what have you really done to
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: be qualified for that position? And you look at all
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: that Pete has. He's got multiple Ivy League degrees two,
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: two or three, and he's very smart.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: He's been in he's too large nonprofit organization, Concerned Veterans
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: for America and I forget I'm blanking on the other one.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: And he's served in combat in two tours of duty. Yes,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: and I also like what senaer Mullin said. He said,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: I looked at the qualifications for Secretary of Defense. It
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: says shall be a citizen of the US. Yeah, that's
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: the only qualification listed.
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: Yes, he's another time we'll get into the women, because
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: I wanted to get into them, but we don't have time.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: But man, they did not. They embarrassed us. They could
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: do better. Yes, the Democrat senators from Hawaiian Oh, if
