Hegseth: Politics not battlefield; Sen Cramer embarrassed; Sen Scott: Why do you want to do this job

Pete Hegseth: “Politics has nothing to do with the battlefield which is why President Trump has asked me to say let’s make sure all of that comes out. This is about warfighting capability, setting standards high, and making sure we give our men and women everything they need to be successful on the battlefield.”

Senator Cramer apologizes for the disgusting behavior of Democrats in the Pete Hegseth confirmation hearing: “I’m embarrassed.”

Senator Scott: “Why do you want to do this job? What drives you?”

Pete Hegseth: “Because I love my country and I’ve dedicated my life to the warfighters.”

Pete Hegseth: Under my leadership, we will follow all laws but we will eliminate any burdensome regulations that endanger our troops on the ground.

Democrat Senator: So… you support torture?

Hegseth: … No? That’s not at all what I said.

Transcript Highlights

The following is transcribed from the video audio:

• You find out there’s Republicans, there’s Democrats, there’s libertarians, there’s independents, there’s vegetarians
• It never mattered in how I led men and women, how I interacted with them, what missions we undertook
• Politics has nothing to do with the battlefield
• Which is why President Trump has asked me to say, let’s make sure all of that comes out
• Setting standards high and making sure we give our boys, our men and women, everything they need to be successful on the battlefield

• I’m sorry for what has been happening to you
