1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,839
Speaker 1: Welcome back to another episode of The Michael Cohen Show.

2
00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:06,639
On our continued journey to two hundred and fifty thousand subscribers,

3
00:00:06,639 --> 00:00:10,320
Now we're about four thousand shy, so hit subscribe, watch

4
00:00:10,519 --> 00:00:13,279
the most importantly, share because there's going to be a

5
00:00:13,279 --> 00:00:17,160
lot to talk about. That's my promise to you now today,

6
00:00:17,679 --> 00:00:22,559
just moments ago, the Senate confirmation hearing of Pete Hegseth

7
00:00:22,879 --> 00:00:26,399
came to an end. I mean, it was, let's just

8
00:00:26,399 --> 00:00:30,960
say interesting to say it the least, and I want

9
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:35,920
to start by showing you how it opened with Senator Wicker,

10
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:40,679
chairman of the Armed Services Committee, and his opening comments.

11
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:41,840
Play the clip.

12
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:46,159
Speaker 2: Much has been made of both mister Hegseith's personal life

13
00:00:46,719 --> 00:00:50,320
and some of his policy pronouncements. Regarding his personal conduct,

14
00:00:50,399 --> 00:00:54,679
mister Hexth has admitted to falling short, as we all

15
00:00:54,679 --> 00:00:57,719
do from time to time. It is noteworthy that the

16
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:02,159
vast majority of the accusations leveled at mister Hexith have

17
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:08,000
come from anonymous sources. Contrast these anonymous accusations with the

18
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:12,280
many public letters of support and commendation we have seen letters.

19
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, so, first and foremost they were not from anonymous people.

20
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:20,480
They were from actually named individuals that they ultimately decided

21
00:01:20,519 --> 00:01:24,879
not to release the names on for obvious reasons. Right now,

22
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:28,159
I want to show you Jack Reid, who is the

23
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:32,719
ranking member of the committee, where he says that Hegseth

24
00:01:33,159 --> 00:01:37,319
is just not qualified to be Secretary of the Department

25
00:01:37,359 --> 00:01:41,079
of Defense. You're talking about just about a nine hundred

26
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:45,840
billion dollar department with over four million people in it.

27
00:01:46,519 --> 00:01:49,400
This is what Jack Reid had to say. Play the clip.

28
00:01:50,079 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 3: Mister Hegg said, I do not believe that you are

29
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:56,719
qualified to meet the overwhelming demands of this job. We

30
00:01:56,799 --> 00:02:01,159
must acknowledge the concerning public reports against you. A variety

31
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:05,840
of sources, including your own writings, implicate you with disregarding

32
00:02:05,879 --> 00:02:10,919
the laws of war, financial mismanagement, racists and sexist remarks

33
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:15,360
about men and women in uniform, alcohol abuse, sexual assault,

34
00:02:15,599 --> 00:02:19,919
sexual harassment, and other troubling issues. I reviewed many of

35
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:25,360
these allegations and find them extremely alarming. Indeed, the totality

36
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:29,120
of your own writings an alleged conduct would disqualify any

37
00:02:29,199 --> 00:02:32,599
service member from holding any leadership position in the military,

38
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,960
much less being confirmed as the Secretary of Defense.

39
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 1: I mean, did you hear the litany of comments misogyny, racism, sexism,

40
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:51,520
you have mismanagement of funds, you have alcoholism, violence. I mean,

41
00:02:52,639 --> 00:03:02,120
there's nothing in here that Senator Read is inaccurate about. However,

42
00:03:03,319 --> 00:03:07,960
Red doesn't stop there. He also points out that heg

43
00:03:08,039 --> 00:03:13,840
Seth refused refused to meet with any of the Democrats,

44
00:03:14,199 --> 00:03:20,280
which is standard for procedure for a guy meaning heg Seth,

45
00:03:20,319 --> 00:03:23,520
who talks a lot about process and procedure. The one

46
00:03:23,599 --> 00:03:28,520
thing about this Armed Services Committee it has always and

47
00:03:28,599 --> 00:03:35,360
needs to always remain non partisan. Why because our military

48
00:03:35,719 --> 00:03:39,039
is non partisan, it should there should be no partisanship

49
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:43,560
in our military because it is made up of Republicans, Democrats,

50
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:47,919
and independents. He points that out that for whatever the

51
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:51,199
reason is, Hegseth met with all of the members of

52
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:55,039
the Republican committee but refused to meet with any of

53
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,520
the Democratic committee play the clip.

54
00:03:57,719 --> 00:04:00,479
Speaker 3: I appreciate our meeting last week. It is unaccepted that

55
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,599
you did not meet with any other Democratic members of

56
00:04:03,639 --> 00:04:07,800
this committee before this hearing. As has been our bipartisan

57
00:04:07,879 --> 00:04:11,479
tradition during my time in the Senate, I have voted

58
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,639
for and work closely with sectors of Defense appointed by

59
00:04:14,719 --> 00:04:19,040
Republican presidents. While we may disagree politically, there was always

60
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,600
an understanding that rank partisanship should have no place when

61
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,120
it comes to providing for the men and women who

62
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,360
serve in uniform. And mister heggs that I am troubled

63
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,480
by the many comments you have made, both as a

64
00:04:30,519 --> 00:04:34,160
commentator and in your published writings. For example, in your

65
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:39,839
book American Crusade wrote quote modern leftists who represent the

66
00:04:39,879 --> 00:04:44,079
soul of the modern Democratic party literally hate the foundational

67
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:47,800
ideas of America. You also wrote the other side, the

68
00:04:47,879 --> 00:04:51,800
left is not our friend. We are not esteemed colleagues

69
00:04:52,199 --> 00:04:56,079
nor mere political opponents. We are foes either we win.

70
00:04:56,439 --> 00:04:59,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean we are not foes when it comes

71
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:03,639
to the military. Look, we shouldn't be foes regarding any aspect.

72
00:05:03,639 --> 00:05:07,600
We may not agree on specific policy, but at the

73
00:05:07,759 --> 00:05:11,199
end of the day, we need to be one America,

74
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:15,040
not two America's not a republican America, not a democratic America.

75
00:05:15,079 --> 00:05:18,560
We need to be one America. And it is concerning

76
00:05:18,879 --> 00:05:22,560
that Pete Heigseth refused to meet what happens when he

77
00:05:22,639 --> 00:05:25,839
becomes confirmed. And I say this with pretty much certainty

78
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:31,360
that the Senate members of the Armed Services, the individuals

79
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:35,079
that will be voting on the confirmation of Pete Heigseth.

80
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:40,360
Have every intention of voting him as our next secretary

81
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:44,680
for the Department of Defense. Despite everything that you heard here.

82
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:48,360
The reality is that he is going to get confirmed,

83
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:52,319
despite the fact that Red goes on to say that

84
00:05:52,399 --> 00:05:58,600
HeiG Seth lacks character and he lacks composure, and again, regardless,

85
00:05:58,959 --> 00:06:04,040
he will be confirms earned as Trump's nominee. Played the clip.

86
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,160
Speaker 3: Indeed, the challenge of the Secretary of Defense is to

87
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:12,360
remove partisan politics from the military. You propose to inject it.

88
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,360
This would be an insult to the men and women

89
00:06:15,399 --> 00:06:18,279
who have sworn to uphold their own a political duty

90
00:06:18,319 --> 00:06:21,519
to the Constitution. Mister Haggs said, you are the ninth

91
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:23,920
nominee of the Secret Defense that I've had the honored

92
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,000
consider as a member of the Senate Armed Service Committee.

93
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,240
I have voted in favor of all your predecessors, including

94
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:34,360
those in the first Trump administration. Unfortunately, you lack the

95
00:06:34,439 --> 00:06:38,120
character and composure and competence the whole position of Secret Defense.

96
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:42,560
Thank you, Thank you.

97
00:06:42,639 --> 00:06:48,199
Speaker 1: Sinator read what a comment literally, he has voted for

98
00:06:48,399 --> 00:06:53,519
every single person to be Secretary of the Department of Defense,

99
00:06:54,319 --> 00:06:58,399
but he will not vote in favor of Pete Hegseith.

100
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:04,000
Send it to Kirsten Jilibrain. She was on fire today.

101
00:07:04,439 --> 00:07:09,439
She spoke about heg Seth bringing politics into the DoD

102
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,759
and the danger of that play.

103
00:07:12,839 --> 00:07:16,639
Speaker 4: The clip detegrated members of the LGBTQ community. Did you

104
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,879
know that when don'nas don't tell was in place, we

105
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:23,680
lost so many crucial personnel, over one thousand in mission

106
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:27,360
critical areas. We lost ten percent of all our foreign

107
00:07:27,439 --> 00:07:28,839
language speakers because of.

108
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 5: A political policy.

109
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,319
Speaker 4: You said in your statement you don't want politics in

110
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:37,000
the DoD. Everything you've said in these public statements is politics.

111
00:07:37,279 --> 00:07:39,519
I don't want women. I don't want moms. What's wrong

112
00:07:39,519 --> 00:07:41,639
with a mom? By the way, once you have babies,

113
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,199
you therefore are no longer able to be lethal. I mean,

114
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,399
you're basically saying women after they have children can't ever

115
00:07:47,439 --> 00:07:50,040
serve in the military in a combat role. It's a

116
00:07:50,079 --> 00:07:52,399
silly thing to say. It's a silly thing to say

117
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:56,439
beneath the position that you are aspiring to to denigrate

118
00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:00,279
LGBTQ service members is a mistake. If you you are

119
00:08:00,319 --> 00:08:04,040
a sharpshooter, yours lethal, regardless of what your gender identity is,

120
00:08:04,079 --> 00:08:05,279
Regardless of who you love.

121
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,959
Speaker 1: So please, she's so right. I mean, we're having a

122
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,000
hard enough time putting people in the military. They're already

123
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,439
trying to figure out how to kick people out. But

124
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:18,480
HECTH doesn't take any of the responsibility for any of this.

125
00:08:19,279 --> 00:08:21,439
By the way, why should he. He knows he's going

126
00:08:21,519 --> 00:08:25,279
to get confirmed. What does he do. He goes right

127
00:08:25,319 --> 00:08:29,319
to a Trump talking point and he blames left wing media.

128
00:08:29,439 --> 00:08:32,000
This is not on him. It's not that he had affairs,

129
00:08:32,039 --> 00:08:34,480
it's not that he's drunk, it's not that he has

130
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:39,120
all sorts of issues, including mismanagement of funds in YadA YadA.

131
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,279
It's all left wing media play the.

132
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 6: Clip instead, a small handful of anonymous sources.

133
00:08:47,639 --> 00:08:48,799
Speaker 1: We're allowed to drive a.

134
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 6: Smear campaign an agenda about me because our left wing

135
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,720
media in America today sadly doesn't care about the truth.

136
00:08:57,279 --> 00:08:59,720
All they were out to do, mister Chairman, was to

137
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:03,200
destroy me. And why do they want to destroy me?

138
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:05,919
Because I'm a change agent and a threat to them?

139
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,840
Because Donald Trump was willing to choose me, to empower me,

140
00:09:09,279 --> 00:09:11,519
to bring the Defense Department back to what it really

141
00:09:11,519 --> 00:09:14,600
should be, which is warfighting. So I'm willing to.

142
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:18,559
Speaker 1: By the way, they will say that a thousand times,

143
00:09:18,919 --> 00:09:23,120
that it's all anonymous smear. One of the anonymous people,

144
00:09:24,039 --> 00:09:28,960
this is his mom. Don't forget that. Then. Senator Angus

145
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:38,120
King asks Haig Seth about his ideology regarding waterboarding. Waterboarding

146
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,559
something which the Hate Convention has outlawed, has made it

147
00:09:41,639 --> 00:09:44,039
a war crime. Play this clip.

148
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 5: In one of your interviews, you said they're willing to

149
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:48,679
do this year, talking about Donald Trump and Trump and

150
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,279
Senator Cruz, they're willing to do something like waterboarding if

151
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:54,200
it's going to keep us safe. Are you okay with waterboarding?

152
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:55,159
Speaker 7: Senator?

153
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:57,879
Speaker 6: The law of the land is that waterboarding is not legal.

154
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 5: So statements that you made you now recan't. Is that correct?

155
00:10:04,639 --> 00:10:06,759
They are willing to do something like waterboarding and it's

156
00:10:06,759 --> 00:10:09,559
going to keep us safe. You expressed that with approval.

157
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,639
Speaker 6: Senator, I'm very familiar with that as a concept, having

158
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,360
spent a year at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, guarding seven hundred

159
00:10:16,399 --> 00:10:18,320
of those that attacked us on nine eleven.

160
00:10:18,399 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 5: I just want to be clear, are we going to

161
00:10:21,399 --> 00:10:24,960
abide by the Geneva Convention and the prohibitions on torture

162
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,600
or are we not? Is it going to a circumstance.

163
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 6: As I've stated multiple times, the Geneva Conventions are what

164
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,600
we base ours. What an American first national security policy

165
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,320
is not going to do is hand its prerogatives over

166
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:41,080
to international bodies that make decisions about how our men

167
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:42,480
and women make decisions.

168
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 1: Seriously, you, there was not one Democrat or in this case,

169
00:10:48,159 --> 00:10:51,080
Angus Kingwa I believe is an independent, who got a

170
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:55,360
straightforward answer yes or no, or a straightforward answer from

171
00:10:55,399 --> 00:10:59,000
Pete Haigseth during this entire thing. But then again he

172
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:02,399
didn't have to because they already had the votes that

173
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,399
they needed. This is the danger of our system. By

174
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:09,720
the way, now you have Senator Kevin Kramer who's complaining

175
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:15,000
about Democrats going too hard on poor Pete Hegseth. I mean,

176
00:11:15,039 --> 00:11:18,480
I don't think that Senator Kevin Kramer or any of

177
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:22,399
the other Republican senators gave two shits when Michael Cohen

178
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:27,960
spent seven different nine hours, not four hours, like Pete

179
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:32,279
Hegseth did. I had nine hour sessions and seven of them,

180
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:34,679
not one of them gave a shit about how the

181
00:11:34,759 --> 00:11:41,879
Republicans treated me. Nobody cares about that. Okay, play the clip.

182
00:11:41,919 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 8: Very idea that you should have to sit there and

183
00:11:45,159 --> 00:11:50,039
answer hypothetical potential in somebody's imagination, crimes that may take

184
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,919
place at some point. And wouldn't that disqualify you if

185
00:11:52,919 --> 00:11:57,200
you were a murderer or if you were a rapist. Unfair, unfair,

186
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:02,480
And I'm embarrassed for for this behavior. But first I

187
00:12:02,519 --> 00:12:08,440
want to say thank you for your strong proclamation, unapologic,

188
00:12:08,879 --> 00:12:12,320
unapologetic proclamation of faith in Jesus Christ. I sat here

189
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,960
and listened to your opening statement and thought, Wow, this

190
00:12:16,039 --> 00:12:19,440
is a guy who, in today's culture is willing to

191
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:23,039
stand up and say the first thing is first, faith

192
00:12:23,159 --> 00:12:26,120
in Jesus Christ. And I was reminded of what Christ

193
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:29,759
said in Matthew Seek he first the Kingdom of God

194
00:12:29,919 --> 00:12:33,720
and his righteousness, and these things She'll be added unto you,

195
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,200
you are going to have a great future as our secretary,

196
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,639
and I look forward to that day.

197
00:12:38,519 --> 00:12:44,159
Speaker 1: Happening, completely ignoring the separation of church and state. Sure,

198
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,240
the first thing out of his mouth is go straight

199
00:12:47,279 --> 00:12:52,360
to the Bible, something that he has clearly straight from

200
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:58,240
with his multiple wives, children outside of marriage, and YadA, YadA, YadA. Congratulations,

201
00:12:58,519 --> 00:13:04,360
great job there to you, Senator Kevin Kramer. Because Pete

202
00:13:04,399 --> 00:13:09,080
Heggseth is exactly what Jesus would do. Right now, it

203
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,799
gets even better. You have a guy named Mark Wayne Mullen,

204
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:15,480
Senator Mullen, and I got to tell you something. He's

205
00:13:15,519 --> 00:13:20,080
actually a pretty funny guy. He's came right to the

206
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:23,919
defense of hag Seth in a legitimate way that people

207
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:27,639
could sort of understand. Mark Wayne Mullen was a former

208
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:33,559
MMA fighter who somehow managed to attract the attention of

209
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:38,399
the Republican Party and became not just not just a

210
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:41,200
member of Congress, not just the local government, but he

211
00:13:41,279 --> 00:13:46,840
became senator for his state. He asks about the different

212
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:52,080
senators who are all attacking poor Pete Haigseeth about drinking

213
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:56,200
on the job and so on, about their drinking when

214
00:13:56,200 --> 00:14:00,080
they're there in the house, play the clip.

215
00:14:00,279 --> 00:14:02,799
Speaker 9: Or I guess I better use. The senator from Virginia

216
00:14:02,879 --> 00:14:05,000
starts bringing up the fact that what if you showed

217
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,960
up drunk to your job? How many senators have showed

218
00:14:09,039 --> 00:14:13,960
up drunk to vote at night? Have any of you

219
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,759
guys asked them to step down and resign for their job?

220
00:14:17,799 --> 00:14:19,720
And don't tell me you haven't seen it, because I

221
00:14:19,799 --> 00:14:22,399
know you have. And then how many senators, do you

222
00:14:22,519 --> 00:14:25,159
know have got a divorce before cheating on their wives?

223
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:27,600
Did you ask them to step down?

224
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:28,919
Speaker 5: No?

225
00:14:30,279 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 1: But it's for show, you guys.

226
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,639
Speaker 9: Make sure you make a big show and point out

227
00:14:34,919 --> 00:14:38,720
the hypocrisy because the man's made a mistake, and you

228
00:14:38,759 --> 00:14:40,960
want to sit there and say that he's not qualified.

229
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 1: Give me a joke.

230
00:14:43,039 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 9: It is so ridiculous that you guys hold yourself as

231
00:14:45,639 --> 00:14:47,600
this higher standard and you forget you got a big

232
00:14:47,639 --> 00:14:52,159
plank in your eye. We've all made mistakes. I've made mistakes,

233
00:14:52,159 --> 00:14:54,720
and Jennifer, thank you for loving him through that mistake.

234
00:14:56,480 --> 00:15:03,519
Speaker 1: I mean he actually humanized Pete. Hegseth better than any

235
00:15:03,559 --> 00:15:06,600
better than any of the other Republicans because he actually

236
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:10,360
hit something home, which is the fact that they're awful

237
00:15:10,399 --> 00:15:12,759
of shit. And I used to work in eighty seven

238
00:15:12,799 --> 00:15:15,679
and eighty eight in the House. I worked for Congressman

239
00:15:15,759 --> 00:15:18,240
Joe Moakley, and the big joke was to see which

240
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,519
member of the House, which member of the Senate was

241
00:15:20,559 --> 00:15:22,759
going to end up throwing up on the floor today.

242
00:15:23,159 --> 00:15:26,759
And I remember that I was in college. Senator Kane

243
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:31,279
then goes ahead and asks heg Seth about his infidelity.

244
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:33,240
Play this clip.

245
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:36,279
Speaker 10: Oh, that occurred in Monterey, California in October twenty seventeen.

246
00:15:36,639 --> 00:15:39,240
At that time, you were still married to your second wife. Correct,

247
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:45,159
I believe so. And you had just fathered a child

248
00:15:45,279 --> 00:15:47,639
by a woman who would later become your third wife.

249
00:15:47,639 --> 00:15:49,039
Speaker 5: Correct, Senator.

250
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 6: I was falsely charged, fully investigated, and completely cleared.

251
00:15:54,559 --> 00:15:57,519
Speaker 10: So you think you are completely cleared because you committed

252
00:15:57,519 --> 00:16:00,399
no crime, that's your definition of cleared. I had just

253
00:16:00,519 --> 00:16:03,200
fathered a child two months before by a woman that

254
00:16:03,279 --> 00:16:06,919
was not your wife. I am shocked that you would

255
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,759
stand here and say you are completely cleared. Can you

256
00:16:09,799 --> 00:16:14,000
so casually cheat on a second wife and cheat on

257
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:15,960
the mother of a child who had been born two

258
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,759
months before? And you tell us you are completely cleared?

259
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:20,399
So how is that a complete clear?

260
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 5: Senator?

261
00:16:21,279 --> 00:16:24,799
Speaker 6: Her child's name is Gwendolen Hope hag Seth, and she's

262
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:26,399
a child of God and she's seven years old.

263
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 10: And you cheated on the mother of that child less

264
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:32,720
than two months after that daughter was born, didn't you?

265
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 5: Those were false charges?

266
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 6: Well, no, dully investigated, and I was completely cleared. And

267
00:16:38,159 --> 00:16:40,639
I am so youthful, and you've the marriage I have

268
00:16:40,759 --> 00:16:45,600
to this. No, you've admitted that you had sex at

269
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:47,519
that hotel in October twenty seventeen.

270
00:16:47,759 --> 00:16:48,919
Speaker 10: You said it was consensual.

271
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 6: Isn't that correct anything?

272
00:16:52,879 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 10: You've admitted that it was consensual and you were still

273
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,279
married and you just had a child by another woman.

274
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,879
Speaker 6: Again, how do you explain yourly false charges against me?

275
00:17:01,639 --> 00:17:02,879
So I investigated and.

276
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 1: He was completely clear.

277
00:17:03,799 --> 00:17:04,759
Speaker 10: You have admitted.

278
00:17:05,279 --> 00:17:10,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, praise Jesus. And lastly, I want to show you

279
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:14,960
what Senator Tim she making a joke about the entire hearing.

280
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:19,079
It's this is truly amazing. Play the clip, Peter.

281
00:17:19,079 --> 00:17:21,079
Speaker 7: I'm actually going to ask you questions because I want

282
00:17:21,079 --> 00:17:26,640
to hear your answer. How many genders are they tough? One? Senator?

283
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:29,440
There are two genders. I know that well. I'm a Shihi,

284
00:17:29,519 --> 00:17:36,880
so I'm on board. What is the diameter of the

285
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,640
rifle round fired out of an M four A one rifle?

286
00:17:40,279 --> 00:17:41,440
Speaker 6: That's a five five six?

287
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:43,359
Speaker 7: How many push ups can you do?

288
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,039
Speaker 6: I did five sets of forty seven this morning?

289
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:51,880
Speaker 7: What do you think are what do you think our

290
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:53,839
most important strategic basis in the Pacific?

291
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:58,680
Speaker 6: In the Pacific Guam is pretty strategically significant.

292
00:18:00,319 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 7: How many rounds of five to five six can you

293
00:18:02,279 --> 00:18:04,079
fit in the magazine of an M four rifle.

294
00:18:05,039 --> 00:18:08,359
Speaker 6: Depends on the magazine, but standard issues thirty center.

295
00:18:09,519 --> 00:18:14,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, basically, First, I'm sure he had that information provided

296
00:18:14,559 --> 00:18:16,759
to him in advance, which is fine, but I think

297
00:18:16,799 --> 00:18:19,319
he probably would have known it anyway. Listen, he knows

298
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:22,240
his military equipment that he does. That's not what this

299
00:18:22,319 --> 00:18:25,480
hearing was about. It's about his competence within which to

300
00:18:25,559 --> 00:18:29,440
be the secretary for the Department of Defense in order

301
00:18:29,599 --> 00:18:33,359
to run a nine hundred billion dollar agency. It's going

302
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:35,039
to be a lot. It's going to be a lot.

303
00:18:35,079 --> 00:18:37,759
But here's again the problem. I like to talk facts.

304
00:18:37,799 --> 00:18:40,319
I like to talk to talk accuracy, and I like

305
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:42,720
to be on point. And the point is he is

306
00:18:42,839 --> 00:18:45,880
going to be confirmed. There's no doubt about that. He

307
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,759
is going to be the Secretary of Defense. And we

308
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:51,720
need to keep our eyes in our ears open for

309
00:18:51,839 --> 00:18:55,599
everything that's coming out of the DoD because rest assured

310
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,440
there's going to be chaos, not just in the DoD,

311
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:01,400
but in the DOJ, in the Department of Education, and

312
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:05,039
every one of these departments, which is why this community

313
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:08,680
is so important for getting facts. If by chance, Pete

314
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:11,799
Heggsth does great things, I will be the first one

315
00:19:11,839 --> 00:19:15,119
to come onto this episode, to this channel and to

316
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,920
tell you he's doing a great job. I don't want

317
00:19:18,039 --> 00:19:20,960
to be hero to be thought of as somebody who

318
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:24,400
is negative towards the Republican Party and anything that goes

319
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:27,599
on bullshit. If you watch any of my episodes, you'll

320
00:19:27,599 --> 00:19:30,200
see that that's not true. I want it to be

321
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:33,960
accurate and fair, and because in twenty twenty six, we're

322
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,160
going to have to make a decision whether or not

323
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:39,559
that the chaos and the nonsense that's going on in DC,

324
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:43,640
assuming that it is chaos and it is nonsense, there

325
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:47,079
may be a need for an immediate change, and that's

326
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:49,920
going to require each and every one of us. So

327
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,759
as always, thanks for listening. Hey everyone, First of all,
