Sekulow | Sekulow - Critically Important Senate Confirmation Hearing | January 28, 2025

(gentle upbeat music)
00:00:00.108 --> 00:00:11.186
- pete hegseth senate hearing halted
00:00:11.953 --> 00:00:13.555
By left wing protestors.
00:00:13.555 --> 00:00:18.226
Today we are monitoring the senate confirmation hearings
00:00:19.360 --> 00:00:22.564
Of pete hegseth, and we'll be playing some comets also,
00:00:22.564 --> 00:00:26.401
But earlier in the moment,
00:00:26.401 --> 00:00:30.839
While they're talking, while they're trying to like,
00:00:30.839 --> 00:00:32.640
You know, do some real serious deep dive,
00:00:32.640 --> 00:00:34.275
And of course, you're getting a lot of bad questions,
00:00:34.275 --> 00:00:36.978
You're getting a lot of personal attacks.
00:00:36.978 --> 00:00:38.613
That's what's happening here.
00:00:38.613 --> 00:00:39.914
I mean, right before we went on the air,
00:00:39.914 --> 00:00:41.049
We were listening to the questions
00:00:41.049 --> 00:00:42.383
And they all had to do with this personal life.
00:00:42.383 --> 00:00:44.152
You didn't hear a lot of questions that were of substance
00:00:44.152 --> 00:00:46.421
That had to do with real policy.
00:00:46.421 --> 00:00:48.523
Sure, there were some earlier on in the day,
00:00:48.523 --> 00:00:50.158
But of course people are taking
00:00:50.158 --> 00:00:51.459
Some pretty big personal shots at pete hegseth
00:00:51.459 --> 00:00:54.262
Right now during his confirmation hearing.
00:00:54.262 --> 00:00:56.264
But earlier in the hearing,
00:00:56.264 --> 00:00:58.867
It of course got halted this morning,
00:00:58.867 --> 00:01:01.336
And as protestors, will, decided to make their voice heard.
00:01:01.336 --> 00:01:05.140
These were kind of extreme left wing protesters.
00:01:05.140 --> 00:01:07.375
- that's right, multiple times
00:01:07.375 --> 00:01:08.710
During pete hegseth's opening statement,
00:01:08.710 --> 00:01:11.045
So as he's delivering his remarks to the senate
00:01:11.045 --> 00:01:13.982
Before that committee starts questioning,
00:01:13.982 --> 00:01:16.951
Multiple protestors, as they do,
00:01:16.951 --> 00:01:19.621
They get ready and one goes,
00:01:19.621 --> 00:01:22.524
And as soon as they clear the room of that one,
00:01:22.524 --> 00:01:24.425
They wait 30 seconds more and another goes,
00:01:24.425 --> 00:01:26.928
And then so forth.
00:01:26.928 --> 00:01:28.429
They were able to get them out very quickly.
00:01:28.429 --> 00:01:31.633
But let's go ahead and see some of this footage
00:01:31.633 --> 00:01:34.269
To see as they're carrying protestors out,
00:01:34.269 --> 00:01:38.039
One specifically carrying out sideways
00:01:38.873 --> 00:01:41.809
By the capitol hill police there,
00:01:41.809 --> 00:01:44.245
Trying to make sure that they can continue the business
00:01:44.245 --> 00:01:48.516
Of the senate, the advice and consent role
00:01:48.516 --> 00:01:51.286
That is enumerated in our constitution.
00:01:51.286 --> 00:01:54.656
But yet protestors got up there.
00:01:54.656 --> 00:01:57.292
They said, "stop christian jihad,"
00:01:57.292 --> 00:02:00.929
Were some of the signs that were held.
00:02:00.929 --> 00:02:03.798
Also talking about pete hegseth in terms of gaza.
00:02:03.798 --> 00:02:09.070
- [logan] pro-israel, zionist.
00:02:09.704 --> 00:02:10.605
- yeah, exactly.
00:02:10.605 --> 00:02:11.906
So there's a lot that was going on there.
00:02:11.906 --> 00:02:13.541
It was a messy start to the confirmation hearings.
00:02:13.541 --> 00:02:17.278
There was technically one this morning that already started
00:02:17.278 --> 00:02:20.615
As well, but that one's not as focused on by the media.
00:02:20.615 --> 00:02:24.519
This one obviously very headline-grabbing
00:02:24.519 --> 00:02:26.888
Because it has been one of the most contentious nominees
00:02:26.888 --> 00:02:29.757
That president trump put forward,
00:02:29.757 --> 00:02:31.459
But doug collins appeared
00:02:31.459 --> 00:02:33.695
Before the veterans affairs committee this morning
00:02:33.695 --> 00:02:36.531
To lead the va.
00:02:36.531 --> 00:02:37.899
But pete hegseth today, and then when we get back,
00:02:37.899 --> 00:02:40.702
We'll also talk about some of the ones coming up
00:02:40.702 --> 00:02:42.704
As the senate moves forward with this nomination process
00:02:42.704 --> 00:02:46.574
Of these names put forward by president trump.
00:02:46.574 --> 00:02:48.409
- others, you know, there's been some news
00:02:48.409 --> 00:02:49.644
With tulsi gabbard 'cause they thought
00:02:49.644 --> 00:02:51.112
That she would be moving forward
00:02:51.112 --> 00:02:52.380
With her confirmation hearing and look,
00:02:52.380 --> 00:02:54.616
People thought in this moment,
00:02:54.616 --> 00:02:57.151
People weren't even sure if pete hegseth
00:02:57.151 --> 00:02:58.386
Was gonna make it to this,
00:02:58.386 --> 00:02:59.988
Make it to the confirmation hearing,
00:02:59.988 --> 00:03:01.789
And good for him, he made it there, it's happening.
00:03:01.789 --> 00:03:04.525
We got a packed show, so stay tuned.
00:03:04.525 --> 00:03:07.228
We got some great guests coming on.
00:03:07.228 --> 00:03:08.663
If you're watching on youtube, if you're watching on x,
00:03:08.663 --> 00:03:10.832
If you're watching on facebook,
00:03:10.832 --> 00:03:12.400
Whatever it may be, we're encourage you to share it.
00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:14.035
Obviously a lot more came out of facebook as well.
00:03:14.035 --> 00:03:16.871
Some of the more updates as you had mark zuckerberg
00:03:16.871 --> 00:03:20.441
Appearing on the joe rogan podcast
00:03:20.441 --> 00:03:21.943
Going after some of the claims
00:03:21.943 --> 00:03:23.044
That we kind of assumed happened.
00:03:23.044 --> 00:03:24.646
But the fact that he specifically started talking about
00:03:24.646 --> 00:03:26.848
That the biden administration was cursing them out,
00:03:26.848 --> 00:03:29.651
Threatening them over allowing, you know,
00:03:29.651 --> 00:03:32.854
Essentially satire, memes, you know,
00:03:32.854 --> 00:03:36.357
A leonardo dicaprio looking at the tv screen pointing meme.
00:03:36.357 --> 00:03:40.561
That's what they were trying to police.
00:03:40.561 --> 00:03:42.830
And of course facebook eventually said no,
00:03:42.830 --> 00:03:44.966
That they couldn't take it anymore.
00:03:44.966 --> 00:03:45.933
It's a very interesting time.
00:03:45.933 --> 00:03:46.334
(gentle music)
00:03:46.334 --> 00:03:51.001
(gentle music)
00:03:51.064 --> 00:03:54.334
- we're monitoring live in real time
00:03:54.334 --> 00:03:56.403
The senate confirmation hearing of pete hegseth.
00:03:56.403 --> 00:03:59.106
Again, another person who president trump picked
00:03:59.106 --> 00:04:01.675
That we weren't sure, just based on some of the backlash
00:04:01.675 --> 00:04:04.845
That came, whether he would make it
00:04:04.845 --> 00:04:05.979
To this day still as the nominee.
00:04:05.979 --> 00:04:08.115
We obviously saw matt gaetz not make it,
00:04:08.115 --> 00:04:10.617
Withdraw, and be replaced by pam bondi,
00:04:10.617 --> 00:04:13.186
So this happening, actually getting here,
00:04:13.186 --> 00:04:15.389
I think is a big deal, will,
00:04:15.389 --> 00:04:16.857
The fact that he was able to overcome a lot of that,
00:04:16.857 --> 00:04:19.159
And here's what i could say about pete hegseth.
00:04:19.159 --> 00:04:21.928
These hearings are interesting
00:04:22.562 --> 00:04:23.830
Because there's a lot of fluff questions
00:04:23.830 --> 00:04:26.133
And then there's a lot of dodgy answers
00:04:26.133 --> 00:04:27.534
And that's gonna be true for everyone who goes up.
00:04:27.534 --> 00:04:29.469
It's sort of just the nature of the beast,
00:04:29.469 --> 00:04:30.871
So you're not gonna learn all that much,
00:04:30.871 --> 00:04:32.739
Other than how they do under pressure.
00:04:32.739 --> 00:04:35.375
Take away any of his credentials as someone
00:04:35.375 --> 00:04:38.478
Who should be qualified or is qualified for this position.
00:04:38.478 --> 00:04:42.015
Saw pete hegseth about a year ago,
00:04:42.015 --> 00:04:44.084
Maybe a year and a half,
00:04:44.084 --> 00:04:45.352
Maybe closer to two years at this point,
00:04:45.352 --> 00:04:47.053
Do a live fox news event here in nashville
00:04:47.053 --> 00:04:50.424
And i went and i told even our friends at fox news
00:04:50.424 --> 00:04:52.626
And i said he was probably one of the best communicators,
00:04:52.626 --> 00:04:56.062
Best real time hosts i had seen.
00:04:56.062 --> 00:04:58.632
I said at the moment,
00:04:58.632 --> 00:05:00.033
Almost like a ryan seacrest level of being able
00:05:00.033 --> 00:05:03.270
To continue on to be improv and flow perfectly
00:05:03.270 --> 00:05:07.007
And i was very impressed with him.
00:05:07.007 --> 00:05:08.909
So from someone who can communicate
00:05:08.909 --> 00:05:10.744
With the american people,
00:05:10.744 --> 00:05:11.945
I thought pete did an incredible job.
00:05:11.945 --> 00:05:13.747
And in that moment, i wasn't thinking of him
00:05:13.747 --> 00:05:15.315
As being in this position.
00:05:15.315 --> 00:05:16.550
I was thinking of him more of being a,
00:05:16.550 --> 00:05:17.951
Oh man, he's clearly gonna be the next, you know,
00:05:17.951 --> 00:05:20.153
Mainstay on fox news.
00:05:20.153 --> 00:05:21.855
He's gonna be the one that's gonna get
00:05:21.855 --> 00:05:23.123
One of those big shows, those evening shows,
00:05:23.123 --> 00:05:25.158
Or maybe he's gonna go on beyond that
00:05:25.158 --> 00:05:26.560
'cause i thought i was just very impressed with him
00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:28.128
As a communicator.
00:05:28.128 --> 00:05:30.564
I thought he was a great communicator
00:05:30.564 --> 00:05:31.965
Of interesting information.
00:05:31.965 --> 00:05:33.600
He could break it down to where people can understand it
00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:35.902
And we kind of need somebody like that in that role.
00:05:35.902 --> 00:05:38.405
It doesn't only have to be someone
00:05:38.405 --> 00:05:39.840
Who is obviously very qualified for the position,
00:05:39.840 --> 00:05:42.709
But also someone who can communicate to the american people
00:05:42.709 --> 00:05:45.612
As he has been doing now for a number of years.
00:05:45.612 --> 00:05:47.981
- he isn't easily shaken
00:05:47.981 --> 00:05:50.150
During those opening statements of his
00:05:50.150 --> 00:05:52.352
When there were multiple protests,
00:05:52.352 --> 00:05:54.254
Calling him a christian zionist, yelling about gaza,
00:05:54.254 --> 00:05:57.824
Calling him a misogynist.
00:05:57.824 --> 00:05:59.759
There were times that that could rattle
00:05:59.759 --> 00:06:02.329
And that's the goal of these protestors,
00:06:02.329 --> 00:06:03.930
To rattle the nominee.
00:06:03.930 --> 00:06:05.632
- it's also the goal of the people asking the questions.
00:06:05.632 --> 00:06:07.767
- exactly. - if they're not friendly.
00:06:07.767 --> 00:06:08.935
- he's handled these, even tim kaine,
00:06:08.935 --> 00:06:11.304
Former running mate with hillary clinton,
00:06:11.304 --> 00:06:13.507
Senator from virginia, was pretty nasty in the way
00:06:13.507 --> 00:06:17.410
He phrased his question, asking about his personal life
00:06:17.410 --> 00:06:22.749
And trying to tie that to an oath of office
00:06:23.650 --> 00:06:25.752
To uphold the constitution
00:06:25.752 --> 00:06:27.387
And he didn't get rattled by it.
00:06:27.387 --> 00:06:29.523
Now, he may, some critics may say, give a very political,
00:06:29.523 --> 00:06:33.827
Scripted tv answer, but he's very calm
00:06:33.827 --> 00:06:36.663
And poised through this and i think that speaks volumes
00:06:36.663 --> 00:06:40.000
To also how he weathered the storm early on.
00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:44.137
He keeps his head up, he moves forward,
00:06:44.137 --> 00:06:46.406
And he focuses on the mission, which is what you want
00:06:46.406 --> 00:06:49.376
Out of a secretary of defense
00:06:49.376 --> 00:06:50.911
And i think we should play this from his opening statement.
00:06:50.911 --> 00:06:54.147
This is pete hegseth talking about the mandate
00:06:54.147 --> 00:06:56.950
That he will have in the department of defense,
00:06:56.950 --> 00:06:59.920
Should he be confirmed by the senate.
00:06:59.920 --> 00:07:02.389
Let's go ahead and play bite one.
00:07:02.389 --> 00:07:04.024
- as i've said to many of you in private meetings,
00:07:04.024 --> 00:07:06.026
When president trump chose me for this position,
00:07:06.026 --> 00:07:08.094
The primary charge he gave me
00:07:08.094 --> 00:07:10.530
Was to bring the warrior culture
00:07:10.530 --> 00:07:12.632
Back to the department of defense.
00:07:12.632 --> 00:07:15.201
He, like me, wants a pentagon laser-focused
00:07:15.201 --> 00:07:19.272
On lethality, meritocracy, war-fighting,
00:07:19.272 --> 00:07:23.109
Accountability, and readiness.
00:07:23.109 --> 00:07:25.812
- this did happen, if you are just joining us now.
00:07:25.812 --> 00:07:28.214
There were protesters broke out,
00:07:28.214 --> 00:07:29.616
People asking how'd they get in all that?
00:07:29.616 --> 00:07:31.251
Well, they have their ways of getting in
00:07:31.251 --> 00:07:32.586
And it's a public hearing.
00:07:32.586 --> 00:07:34.054
They go in organized and they're protesting
00:07:34.054 --> 00:07:36.790
Because they think that pete, not only is not qualified,
00:07:36.790 --> 00:07:39.626
I don't even know if they're actually
00:07:39.626 --> 00:07:40.860
Even talking about his qualifications,
00:07:40.860 --> 00:07:42.395
They think he is someone who they'd consider a christian,
00:07:42.395 --> 00:07:44.431
A christian zionist, a christian,
00:07:44.431 --> 00:07:46.366
What was the word they were using?
00:07:46.366 --> 00:07:47.734
- christian zionist. - christian jihadist.
00:07:47.734 --> 00:07:49.269
- christian jihadist on a sign that they were holding up.
00:07:49.269 --> 00:07:50.370
- so i want you guys to see this.
00:07:50.370 --> 00:07:53.540
Let's take a look at this once again,
00:07:53.540 --> 00:07:56.343
For those of you just joining us right now.
00:07:56.343 --> 00:07:58.244
And while you're at it, if you just saw this,
00:07:58.244 --> 00:08:00.080
Hit that thumbs up if you're watching on youtube
00:08:00.080 --> 00:08:01.615
Or on rumble, really helps us out,
00:08:01.615 --> 00:08:03.183
And throw in a comment as well.
00:08:03.183 --> 00:08:04.784
All that does an incredible amount for us.
00:08:04.784 --> 00:08:07.420
We did surpass 451,000 subscribers on youtube.
00:08:07.420 --> 00:08:10.824
Let's keep that going.
00:08:10.824 --> 00:08:12.125
Hit that subscribe button.
00:08:12.125 --> 00:08:13.660
Take a look though, here's the protesters in real time.
00:08:13.660 --> 00:08:15.695
(protestors chattering) - [security] sit down.
00:08:15.695 --> 00:08:17.297
- [protestor] i'm leaving, man.
00:08:17.297 --> 00:08:19.366
- bravo take me. - i'm leaving.
00:08:19.366 --> 00:08:21.267
(protestors chattering)
00:08:21.267 --> 00:08:24.170
- get your hands off me. - thank you.
00:08:24.170 --> 00:08:26.139
- thank you for figuratively and literally having my back.
00:08:26.139 --> 00:08:30.710
(gavel banging)
00:08:31.077 --> 00:08:33.046
- [protestor] pete, you are a misogynist.
00:08:33.046 --> 00:08:34.581
Not only that, you are as christian zionist.
00:08:34.581 --> 00:08:39.052
(protestor vocalizing)
00:08:39.552 --> 00:08:43.156
Zionist.
00:08:43.156 --> 00:08:44.824
- i love that specifically
00:08:44.824 --> 00:08:45.992
It goes from "you're a misogynist,"
00:08:45.992 --> 00:08:47.394
To the second one is,
00:08:47.394 --> 00:08:48.495
"also, you're a christian zionist.
00:08:48.495 --> 00:08:51.331
How dare you."
00:08:51.331 --> 00:08:52.732
It is like those are, you know, one in the same.
00:08:52.732 --> 00:08:54.334
We do have a comment though specifically about that
00:08:54.334 --> 00:08:56.636
Sort of claim of christian zionism.
00:08:56.636 --> 00:08:58.838
It came in, senator cotton asked specifically about this
00:08:58.838 --> 00:09:02.509
'cause he said, "hey, i heard some of the protests,
00:09:02.509 --> 00:09:04.644
I've heard people are talking about-"
00:09:04.644 --> 00:09:05.945
- the protesters were having an influence on-
00:09:05.945 --> 00:09:07.480
- they did, they inspired. - the content of the hearing.
00:09:07.480 --> 00:09:09.449
- they inspired, so maybe we should take a listen.
00:09:09.449 --> 00:09:11.651
This is just moments ago in the hearing.
00:09:11.651 --> 00:09:15.021
- the first one accused you of being a christian zionist.
00:09:16.189 --> 00:09:20.260
I'm not really sure why that is a bad thing.
00:09:20.260 --> 00:09:22.929
I'm a christian, i'm a zionist.
00:09:22.929 --> 00:09:24.597
Zionism is that the jewish people deserve a homeland
00:09:24.597 --> 00:09:30.003
In the ancient holy land
00:09:30.503 --> 00:09:31.938
Where they've lived since the dawn of history.
00:09:31.938 --> 00:09:34.474
Do you consider yourself a christian zionist?
00:09:34.474 --> 00:09:36.176
- senator, i support, i'm a christian
00:09:36.176 --> 00:09:38.445
And i robustly support the state of israel
00:09:38.445 --> 00:09:41.047
And its existential defense and the way america
00:09:41.047 --> 00:09:44.117
Comes alongside them is a great help.
00:09:44.117 --> 00:09:45.919
- thank you, 'cause another protestor,
00:09:45.919 --> 00:09:47.654
And i think this one was a member of code pink,
00:09:47.654 --> 00:09:49.489
Which by the way is a chinese communist front group
00:09:49.489 --> 00:09:52.459
These days, said that you support israel's war in gaza.
00:09:52.459 --> 00:09:57.764
I support israel's existential war in gaza.
00:09:58.631 --> 00:10:00.834
I assume like me and president trump,
00:10:00.834 --> 00:10:03.203
You support that war as well, don't you?
00:10:03.203 --> 00:10:04.838
- senator, i do.
00:10:04.838 --> 00:10:05.839
I support israel destroying
00:10:05.839 --> 00:10:08.274
And killing every last member of hamas.
00:10:08.274 --> 00:10:10.910
- so a pretty strong statement coming out of pete hegseth,
00:10:10.910 --> 00:10:13.346
Again, clearly getting questions
00:10:13.346 --> 00:10:15.782
From someone like tom cotton,
00:10:15.782 --> 00:10:17.717
You're gonna have maybe a bit more,
00:10:17.717 --> 00:10:20.320
I don't wanna say softballs,
00:10:20.320 --> 00:10:21.721
But these are questions that someone you agree with
00:10:21.721 --> 00:10:23.556
And in this moment saying, "yeah, of course."
00:10:23.556 --> 00:10:26.359
He did not use the word zionist himself.
00:10:26.359 --> 00:10:28.862
Hegseth did not use that word.
00:10:28.862 --> 00:10:30.363
I'm sure there's probably some reasons behind that.
00:10:30.363 --> 00:10:33.133
But definitely said, "i'm a christian,
00:10:33.133 --> 00:10:34.434
I'm someone who supports the state of israel,
00:10:34.434 --> 00:10:36.202
And supports israel destroying
00:10:36.202 --> 00:10:38.671
And killing every last member of hamas."
00:10:38.671 --> 00:10:41.407
Also statements being made by other palestinian governments
00:10:41.407 --> 00:10:44.944
And leadership that came out saying,
00:10:44.944 --> 00:10:46.846
"hey, we condemn everything hamas is doing.
00:10:46.846 --> 00:10:49.182
They are setting us back."
00:10:49.182 --> 00:10:50.717
So in some ways, this actually has some positive movement
00:10:50.717 --> 00:10:54.087
For israel and for the hopeful end to this entire war,
00:10:54.087 --> 00:10:58.725
And hopefully the freedom of the hostages
00:10:58.725 --> 00:11:01.194
That are still there for well over at this point,
00:11:01.194 --> 00:11:03.596
A year and a half plus.
00:11:03.596 --> 00:11:05.131
Let's go ahead and take a phone call.
00:11:05.131 --> 00:11:06.466
Let's go to robert in maryland on line one.
00:11:06.466 --> 00:11:08.735
Robert, you're on the air.
00:11:08.735 --> 00:11:10.837
- [robert] i wanted to ask the question
00:11:10.837 --> 00:11:13.439
Between the election day of donald trump
00:11:13.439 --> 00:11:16.075
Winning the election november 5th
00:11:16.075 --> 00:11:17.677
And him being inaugurated january 20, 2025 of this year,
00:11:17.677 --> 00:11:20.814
During that 75 or 76 day period,
00:11:20.814 --> 00:11:23.349
What are the most dangerous actions
00:11:23.349 --> 00:11:25.652
That president biden has taken
00:11:25.652 --> 00:11:27.987
That could derail the trump agenda in your view?
00:11:27.987 --> 00:11:30.723
- sure, robert, a lot has happened actually
00:11:30.723 --> 00:11:32.826
In the last couple of months since then,
00:11:32.826 --> 00:11:35.495
And it's still, i mean, again,
00:11:35.495 --> 00:11:36.896
You can make a lot of these moves
00:11:36.896 --> 00:11:38.464
Up until the very last second as the president,
00:11:38.464 --> 00:11:41.034
And you see that often, you see presidents making,
00:11:41.034 --> 00:11:43.503
These not only last minute moves,
00:11:43.503 --> 00:11:44.838
But you would even say last second moves.
00:11:44.838 --> 00:11:47.574
While the inauguration parties are happening,
00:11:47.574 --> 00:11:50.376
Not parties, but the festivities are happening
00:11:50.376 --> 00:11:52.612
Before the swearing in, there's usually a couple people
00:11:52.612 --> 00:11:54.647
Still back at the white house making these final moves.
00:11:54.647 --> 00:11:57.917
- that's right, i think personally,
00:11:57.917 --> 00:11:59.419
Some of the most dangerous, i mean, you see a lot,
00:11:59.419 --> 00:12:01.421
There's even like the executive orders
00:12:01.421 --> 00:12:02.989
On drilling ban for oil, offshore drilling,
00:12:02.989 --> 00:12:06.860
Things of that nature
00:12:06.860 --> 00:12:08.228
That can be quickly undone by president trump,
00:12:08.228 --> 00:12:10.129
So really while a good moment, pr moment for the left,
00:12:10.129 --> 00:12:14.868
Not necessarily long-term devastation
00:12:14.868 --> 00:12:17.670
To the american economy or energy independence,
00:12:17.670 --> 00:12:20.573
But some of the ones i think of
00:12:20.573 --> 00:12:21.808
Are actually the foreign policy moves,
00:12:21.808 --> 00:12:23.443
Which are very much at the discretion of the president.
00:12:23.443 --> 00:12:27.780
And when joe biden did things like,
00:12:27.780 --> 00:12:31.184
"i authorize ukraine now to use weapons we've given
00:12:31.184 --> 00:12:34.721
For long-distance ballistic missile strikes within russia,"
00:12:34.721 --> 00:12:39.058
I think that is, i would put up as one of the top moves
00:12:39.058 --> 00:12:43.096
That this biden administration has done
00:12:43.096 --> 00:12:45.398
That could long-term be very, very devastating
00:12:45.398 --> 00:12:49.168
To world peace, to ending a conflict in russia with ukraine,
00:12:49.168 --> 00:12:53.840
And when you look at that also, it puts us,
00:12:53.840 --> 00:12:57.577
As a nato member with other nato allies in that area,
00:12:57.577 --> 00:13:00.880
Ukraine not being one of them,
00:13:00.880 --> 00:13:02.415
But puts us in a very precarious situation if a bigger fight
00:13:02.415 --> 00:13:06.019
Breaks out because now ukraine is launching missiles
00:13:06.019 --> 00:13:09.789
Deeper into the homeland of russia.
00:13:09.789 --> 00:13:13.293
Robert, i'd put that pretty close to the top
00:13:13.293 --> 00:13:15.695
Of this lame duck session of president biden's presidency
00:13:15.695 --> 00:13:19.165
Of dangerous moves that he's done.
00:13:19.165 --> 00:13:21.367
- well, thanks to members of our aclj team,
00:13:21.367 --> 00:13:23.836
And of course, supporters like you that give
00:13:23.836 --> 00:13:26.005
And donate, aclj champions, we're able to fight
00:13:26.005 --> 00:13:28.942
For the confirmation hearings,
00:13:28.942 --> 00:13:30.643
But also you're gonna hear from someone who's been
00:13:30.643 --> 00:13:32.779
Through this themselves in the next segment.
00:13:32.779 --> 00:13:35.548
(gentle music)
00:13:35.548 --> 00:13:39.009
(gentle music)
00:13:39.009 --> 00:13:39.249
(gentle music)
00:13:39.616 --> 00:13:42.185
- monitoring the senate confirmation hearing
00:13:42.185 --> 00:13:44.588
Of pete hegseth, as well as the other
00:13:44.588 --> 00:13:46.390
Senate confirmation hearings that are coming,
00:13:46.390 --> 00:13:47.991
Protestors broke out screaming
00:13:47.991 --> 00:13:49.693
That he was a christian zionist and so on and so on,
00:13:49.693 --> 00:13:52.329
A christian jihadist, member of the aclj team
00:13:52.329 --> 00:13:55.232
And secular broadcast team, mike pompeo,
00:13:55.232 --> 00:13:57.067
Senior council for global affairs is joining us live,
00:13:57.067 --> 00:13:59.536
And we're obviously, we're all monitoring right now
00:13:59.536 --> 00:14:01.872
The confirmation hearings
00:14:01.872 --> 00:14:03.206
That are happening on capitol hill.
00:14:03.206 --> 00:14:04.808
Pete hegseth's up right now.
00:14:04.808 --> 00:14:06.343
I wanted to hear from you as someone who has been there,
00:14:06.343 --> 00:14:08.779
Who's been through this confirmation hearing twice
00:14:08.779 --> 00:14:11.548
As secretary of state and cia director.
00:14:11.548 --> 00:14:13.650
Can you tell us what it's like to be up there,
00:14:13.650 --> 00:14:15.285
Knowing the pressure
00:14:15.285 --> 00:14:16.453
And knowing the world is watching you,
00:14:16.453 --> 00:14:17.854
And knowing you're gonna be thrown questions
00:14:17.854 --> 00:14:20.390
That are intentionally made even to make you look foolish,
00:14:20.390 --> 00:14:23.493
And at least for half of them to try to do that to you.
00:14:23.493 --> 00:14:27.030
- oh goodness, yeah, it was really quite something.
00:14:28.065 --> 00:14:29.766
I must have done better the first time than the second.
00:14:29.766 --> 00:14:31.635
I got more votes to be cia director
00:14:31.635 --> 00:14:33.336
Than i did to be secretary of state.
00:14:33.336 --> 00:14:35.806
Look, the reality is, is you have to stay focused.
00:14:35.806 --> 00:14:38.909
It is a serious matter.
00:14:38.909 --> 00:14:41.044
The senate has properly the role of advice and consent.
00:14:41.044 --> 00:14:43.980
You honor them and america by doing your best
00:14:43.980 --> 00:14:47.451
To answer their questions,
00:14:47.451 --> 00:14:49.386
But you also have to recognize there's often
00:14:49.386 --> 00:14:51.588
A lot of theater going on there.
00:14:51.588 --> 00:14:53.490
So i remember the wisdom that i got from secretary baker,
00:14:53.490 --> 00:14:58.261
Which was, "keep your eye on the ball,
00:14:58.261 --> 00:15:00.230
Stay focused on the reasons that you'd said yes
00:15:00.230 --> 00:15:03.033
When the president asked you to stand for confirmation
00:15:03.033 --> 00:15:06.837
And take on these important roles.
00:15:06.837 --> 00:15:09.172
Remember the things that you know in your heart to be true.
00:15:09.172 --> 00:15:12.409
Don't ever vary from them.
00:15:12.409 --> 00:15:13.810
Do your best to answer the questions accurately,
00:15:13.810 --> 00:15:15.345
But when they ask something foolish, kind of, you know,"
00:15:15.345 --> 00:15:19.082
I almost used a bad word, "some nonsensical question
00:15:19.082 --> 00:15:21.718
Aimed at trapping you, don't take the bait,
00:15:21.718 --> 00:15:24.087
Simply go back to basic principles,
00:15:24.087 --> 00:15:26.022
And when you do that, in the end, the world will observe,
00:15:26.022 --> 00:15:29.693
American people will observe,
00:15:29.693 --> 00:15:31.161
And the senators will observe that you're a serious,
00:15:31.161 --> 00:15:33.196
Thoughtful, decent person aimed at delivering
00:15:33.196 --> 00:15:35.799
For the american people."
00:15:35.799 --> 00:15:36.733
That's what i tried to do.
00:15:36.733 --> 00:15:38.135
There's a few moments i didn't quite pull that off,
00:15:38.135 --> 00:15:40.437
But i tried my best.
00:15:40.437 --> 00:15:42.005
- mr. secretary, as we look at what's gonna be a marathon
00:15:42.005 --> 00:15:46.176
Of wall-to-wall coverage of confirmation hearings
00:15:46.176 --> 00:15:48.778
Over the next few days, weeks even,
00:15:48.778 --> 00:15:52.449
Knowing not just the confirmation process,
00:15:52.449 --> 00:15:54.918
Which you've been through, but also the importance
00:15:54.918 --> 00:15:57.787
Of getting the nominees into their positions
00:15:57.787 --> 00:16:01.825
Very early on so that they can start to carry out the agenda
00:16:01.825 --> 00:16:05.228
Of the incoming president.
00:16:05.228 --> 00:16:06.897
What do you think the biggest challenges are
00:16:06.897 --> 00:16:08.665
For the administration in getting these nominees
00:16:08.665 --> 00:16:11.668
Confirmed and ready to go?
00:16:11.668 --> 00:16:13.570
- goodness, you know, this is exactly,
00:16:13.570 --> 00:16:15.539
You hit on the central point.
00:16:15.539 --> 00:16:17.774
The first task is for the nominees themselves
00:16:17.774 --> 00:16:19.776
To get their act together and get their documents done.
00:16:19.776 --> 00:16:23.480
It's extensive, there's a lot of work.
00:16:23.480 --> 00:16:25.248
It's many, many hours of work.
00:16:25.248 --> 00:16:27.517
For some people it's really complicated financial stuff.
00:16:27.517 --> 00:16:29.653
Get it done, get that paperwork in, submit it,
00:16:29.653 --> 00:16:31.721
Don't fight the process.
00:16:31.721 --> 00:16:33.190
If you fight the process, you'll be months into it.
00:16:33.190 --> 00:16:36.026
Second, we need senate leadership.
00:16:36.026 --> 00:16:39.362
This is republican leadership in the senate
00:16:39.362 --> 00:16:41.398
To move these things quickly, to force them.
00:16:41.398 --> 00:16:43.633
If there's someone that's not gonna make it
00:16:43.633 --> 00:16:45.168
For whatever reason, fine, have the hearing,
00:16:45.168 --> 00:16:47.404
Vote 'em down, get on.
00:16:47.404 --> 00:16:48.972
But what we found so many times is they'd get hung up
00:16:48.972 --> 00:16:50.907
And we'd go months and months and months
00:16:50.907 --> 00:16:52.409
Without getting someone moved through.
00:16:52.409 --> 00:16:54.344
And then finally this thought.
00:16:54.344 --> 00:16:56.713
So we'll all be very focused on the cabinet-level hearings
00:16:56.713 --> 00:16:59.249
That'll take place over the next two weeks or three weeks.
00:16:59.249 --> 00:17:02.519
Those are obviously central, vitally important,
00:17:02.519 --> 00:17:05.488
But there are thousands of confirmed positions
00:17:05.488 --> 00:17:08.525
And the trump administration deserves
00:17:08.525 --> 00:17:10.393
To get its entire team on the field.
00:17:10.393 --> 00:17:12.696
In our first term, i became the secretary of state
00:17:12.696 --> 00:17:15.832
At 19 months in, or 18 months into the administration.
00:17:15.832 --> 00:17:19.269
We still had hundreds of people
00:17:19.269 --> 00:17:21.438
Whose confirmations were pending.
00:17:21.438 --> 00:17:23.673
Sometimes it was the fault of the nominee,
00:17:24.574 --> 00:17:26.343
Sometimes it was the fault of the senate,
00:17:26.343 --> 00:17:28.111
But in the end, we need all of those folks on the field
00:17:28.111 --> 00:17:31.314
So that president trump could do precisely
00:17:31.314 --> 00:17:32.983
What he told the american people that he would do.
00:17:32.983 --> 00:17:35.585
He's capable of that, i'm confident he will,
00:17:35.585 --> 00:17:37.354
But he can't do it with a team
00:17:37.354 --> 00:17:39.422
That's not supporting his mission, his agenda,
00:17:39.422 --> 00:17:41.691
And those confirmations have to move forward,
00:17:41.691 --> 00:17:43.426
Not in the singles, not in the dozens,
00:17:43.426 --> 00:17:46.263
But in the hundreds and thousands.
00:17:46.263 --> 00:17:48.064
- i think, secretary pompeo, it's a very interesting
00:17:48.064 --> 00:17:50.267
Point of view that a lot of people maybe don't understand,
00:17:50.267 --> 00:17:52.302
Which is the timeline of this doesn't have to...
00:17:52.302 --> 00:17:55.538
You're right, you hear the big ticket items,
00:17:55.538 --> 00:17:57.874
If you will, the big positions,
00:17:57.874 --> 00:17:59.509
But not that the others are not important
00:17:59.509 --> 00:18:01.077
And are very important, but this can go on
00:18:01.077 --> 00:18:03.980
For months and months and months.
00:18:03.980 --> 00:18:06.049
People don't really understand that,
00:18:06.049 --> 00:18:07.484
That this isn't something that you started today
00:18:07.484 --> 00:18:09.085
To get everything done by january 20th.
00:18:09.085 --> 00:18:11.121
This is a long-term effort,
00:18:11.121 --> 00:18:13.623
And if you have people who are, like you said,
00:18:13.623 --> 00:18:15.025
Who they're not trusting or they're trying to block,
00:18:15.025 --> 00:18:18.061
It can be a brutal process,
00:18:18.061 --> 00:18:20.030
And when you only have a four-year term
00:18:20.030 --> 00:18:22.232
For president trump at this point,
00:18:22.232 --> 00:18:24.134
Just 'cause it will only be four years
00:18:24.134 --> 00:18:26.102
'cause it's his second term, they gotta get moving fast.
00:18:26.102 --> 00:18:29.906
- no, it's essential.
00:18:30.407 --> 00:18:32.142
They need the first several hundred confirmed
00:18:32.142 --> 00:18:33.977
In the first 100 days.
00:18:33.977 --> 00:18:35.612
You need to get that level.
00:18:35.612 --> 00:18:36.780
That'd be your cabinet secretaries,
00:18:36.780 --> 00:18:38.148
Your deputy secretaries, and the undersecretaries,
00:18:38.148 --> 00:18:40.116
And every agency, not just defense and security,
00:18:40.116 --> 00:18:43.320
But treasury, commerce, hud.
00:18:43.320 --> 00:18:48.291
These things really matter to people's lives
00:18:48.291 --> 00:18:50.393
And to their wellbeing and to the american economy.
00:18:50.393 --> 00:18:52.562
Workers all across america
00:18:52.562 --> 00:18:54.230
Are counting on president trump's deregulatory agenda.
00:18:54.230 --> 00:18:57.067
That is not gonna happen until all of those leaders
00:18:57.067 --> 00:19:00.470
Have been put in position
00:19:00.470 --> 00:19:02.072
And can get their feet on the ground and start working it,
00:19:02.072 --> 00:19:04.007
And so, yes, we'll have these bright, shiny objects
00:19:04.007 --> 00:19:09.179
That happen here in january.
00:19:09.779 --> 00:19:11.047
February, march, and april are essential
00:19:11.047 --> 00:19:12.716
For the administration to get its work done
00:19:12.716 --> 00:19:14.317
And the senate to do its job
00:19:14.317 --> 00:19:15.785
And get these folks on the playing field.
00:19:15.785 --> 00:19:17.954
- rick grenell's joining us live.
00:19:17.954 --> 00:19:19.322
Rick, there's been a lot going on in capitol hill.
00:19:19.322 --> 00:19:20.924
Obviously the senators are,
00:19:20.924 --> 00:19:22.525
The senate confirmation hearing is happening right now
00:19:22.525 --> 00:19:24.294
For pete hegseth.
00:19:24.294 --> 00:19:25.528
It's getting a bit heated, as you'd expect.
00:19:25.528 --> 00:19:29.132
Obviously the conservatives, the republicans,
00:19:29.132 --> 00:19:31.101
Throwing him questions that feel legitimate,
00:19:31.101 --> 00:19:33.503
Some of the democrats at least pushing
00:19:33.503 --> 00:19:35.004
And asking some questions,
00:19:35.004 --> 00:19:36.373
But of course it's turning personal real quick
00:19:36.373 --> 00:19:38.041
And it gets pretty ugly pretty fast,
00:19:38.041 --> 00:19:39.976
But that is to be expected.
00:19:39.976 --> 00:19:41.978
He's not the first person for this to happen to,
00:19:41.978 --> 00:19:44.614
But of course, it keeps everyone's eye off the ball.
00:19:44.614 --> 00:19:47.784
- yeah, look, i'm just looking at what pete is doing
00:19:48.818 --> 00:19:52.455
And it's really remarkable.
00:19:52.455 --> 00:19:53.923
I mean, he's staying calm, he's staying focused
00:19:53.923 --> 00:19:56.926
On what the mission is, which is to reform the pentagon.
00:19:56.926 --> 00:20:01.731
Donald trump is a disruptor.
00:20:01.731 --> 00:20:02.999
No one should be surprised
00:20:02.999 --> 00:20:05.168
That he's gonna put nominees in who wanna disrupt
00:20:05.168 --> 00:20:09.272
And change and reform.
00:20:09.272 --> 00:20:10.640
Look, the system in washington is incredibly entrenched
00:20:10.640 --> 00:20:14.043
And i think, you know, you're gonna have people
00:20:14.043 --> 00:20:17.580
Who don't want a disruptor, and so they're gonna get ugly
00:20:17.580 --> 00:20:21.017
And personal and sling mud.
00:20:21.017 --> 00:20:23.586
I think most americans kind of yawn at this process
00:20:23.586 --> 00:20:28.558
Because politicians tend to be ugly and mean-spirited
00:20:28.558 --> 00:20:33.463
And you know, they're just looking for any way to exploit,
00:20:33.463 --> 00:20:37.167
But i think pete's doing a good job.
00:20:37.167 --> 00:20:38.802
- i don't think the goal was necessarily to, you know,
00:20:38.802 --> 00:20:42.172
Make this hearing a circus,
00:20:42.172 --> 00:20:44.974
But i think what's probably most shocking
00:20:44.974 --> 00:20:46.643
And good for pete for weathering the storm
00:20:46.643 --> 00:20:49.479
Is that i believe the initial goal was for him
00:20:49.479 --> 00:20:51.347
To not even make it to today,
00:20:51.347 --> 00:20:53.116
Was for him to not even be the nominee,
00:20:53.116 --> 00:20:55.618
That the pressure was gonna be on so greatly,
00:20:55.618 --> 00:20:57.821
And look, the pressure did come on.
00:20:57.821 --> 00:20:59.656
It still is that i think maybe one of the biggest wins
00:20:59.656 --> 00:21:03.159
Is that he is actually sitting there
00:21:03.159 --> 00:21:05.528
In this confirmation hearing.
00:21:05.528 --> 00:21:07.330
- look, i think serving in the trump administration,
00:21:08.364 --> 00:21:11.668
You have to be really comfortable with being able
00:21:11.668 --> 00:21:14.003
To take hits from people who just wanna,
00:21:14.003 --> 00:21:18.808
You know, sling mud.
00:21:18.808 --> 00:21:20.343
Whether it's the media, whether it's democrats on the hill,
00:21:20.343 --> 00:21:25.081
But you gotta just stay focused.
00:21:25.715 --> 00:21:28.384
I mean, pete has been asked to do a big job.
00:21:28.384 --> 00:21:31.087
It's to reform the pentagon to get us more ready.
00:21:31.087 --> 00:21:35.625
We all see what's been happening
00:21:35.625 --> 00:21:37.994
To our military servicemen and women.
00:21:37.994 --> 00:21:41.764
We have way too many programs
00:21:41.764 --> 00:21:43.933
That we're spending your tax dollars on that are a waste.
00:21:43.933 --> 00:21:48.738
We have a military that's not nearly as ready
00:21:48.738 --> 00:21:51.341
As they should be, and the budget yet is enormous.
00:21:51.341 --> 00:21:56.679
I mean, you think about how much money we're spending
00:21:57.780 --> 00:21:59.315
American tax dollars at the pentagon and it's shocking,
00:21:59.315 --> 00:22:02.752
And so pete's got a big job to reform the place,
00:22:02.752 --> 00:22:05.822
To try to get us back on track for military readiness
00:22:05.822 --> 00:22:09.092
And we are in a situation where it has to be done
00:22:09.092 --> 00:22:13.029
Because recruitment numbers are so low,
00:22:13.029 --> 00:22:15.298
We have to do something different,
00:22:15.298 --> 00:22:17.233
And pete understands that
00:22:17.233 --> 00:22:18.935
And i think he will make it through.
00:22:18.935 --> 00:22:21.738
He's staying calm.
00:22:21.738 --> 00:22:23.273
He understands the game of washington.
00:22:23.273 --> 00:22:25.542
But again, the rest of us outside of washington,
00:22:25.542 --> 00:22:28.811
The big yawn, big collective yawn, we're used to this.
00:22:28.811 --> 00:22:31.381
- rick, when you watch these hearings,
00:22:31.381 --> 00:22:33.816
Many times the real story of what people
00:22:33.816 --> 00:22:37.086
Are watching for though is demeanor.
00:22:37.086 --> 00:22:39.722
The questions obviously you understand
00:22:39.722 --> 00:22:42.292
The left's gonna be nasty, you understand the right,
00:22:42.292 --> 00:22:44.894
Especially, now there have been some republican senators
00:22:44.894 --> 00:22:47.096
Who have had more questions than they normally would
00:22:47.096 --> 00:22:49.832
Like senator ernst, but i believe it sounds like pete
00:22:49.832 --> 00:22:53.903
Is answering her questions that she has
00:22:53.903 --> 00:22:56.639
And taking her seriously,
00:22:56.639 --> 00:22:59.709
But he said in his opening statement
00:22:59.709 --> 00:23:02.312
That he wants a pentagon, president trump and himself,
00:23:02.312 --> 00:23:06.249
Want a pentagon laser-focused on lethality,
00:23:06.249 --> 00:23:09.218
Meritocracy, war-fighting, accountability and readiness.
00:23:09.218 --> 00:23:13.856
And to see how he has been able
00:23:13.856 --> 00:23:15.892
To be laser-focused on getting through the media storm
00:23:15.892 --> 00:23:21.197
Around his nomination, getting to this hearing,
00:23:22.131 --> 00:23:24.233
And then even multiple times during his opening statement,
00:23:24.233 --> 00:23:28.104
Not being even fazed by the protestors
00:23:28.104 --> 00:23:31.341
That were having to be drug out horizontally
00:23:31.341 --> 00:23:35.311
Through the hearing room.
00:23:35.311 --> 00:23:37.347
He kept his cool
00:23:37.347 --> 00:23:38.715
And stayed laser-focused on today's mission,
00:23:38.715 --> 00:23:41.517
Answering the questions of us senators
00:23:41.517 --> 00:23:43.686
In a respectful, honest way.
00:23:43.686 --> 00:23:47.123
I think that says more about the character
00:23:47.123 --> 00:23:49.726
And demeanor of how he would take this job,
00:23:49.726 --> 00:23:52.228
Laser-focused on lethality, meritocracy, war-fighting,
00:23:52.228 --> 00:23:55.031
Accountability, and readiness,
00:23:55.031 --> 00:23:56.466
Than anything he'll say to the senators today.
00:23:56.466 --> 00:23:59.602
- yeah, i think that, will, it's a really great point of,
00:23:59.602 --> 00:24:02.605
You know, the process is what it is.
00:24:02.605 --> 00:24:04.674
It's a circus, they're slinging mud,
00:24:04.674 --> 00:24:07.543
And they're just trying to get you off your game.
00:24:07.543 --> 00:24:10.246
They're trying to see if you care about what
00:24:10.246 --> 00:24:14.083
The media are saying or the hits that are coming
00:24:14.083 --> 00:24:17.787
And you've gotta be able to stay focused.
00:24:17.787 --> 00:24:19.389
It's kind of like an mma fighter.
00:24:19.389 --> 00:24:20.857
I love mma, the ufc, and you know,
00:24:20.857 --> 00:24:24.293
My friends who are ufc fighters, they say,
00:24:24.293 --> 00:24:26.929
"you know, when you take a hit in the face,
00:24:26.929 --> 00:24:29.832
You can't get emotional about it.
00:24:29.832 --> 00:24:31.534
You've got to stay focused to your strategy."
00:24:31.534 --> 00:24:35.805
And i think that's the same way in politics
00:24:35.805 --> 00:24:38.307
Is that you have a job to do, stay focused on the mission,
00:24:38.307 --> 00:24:43.212
And i think pete's one of those people
