Transcript Highlights

The following is transcribed from the video audio:

• You fight, you go do tough things in tough places on behalf of your country, and sometimes that changes you a little bit
• And by the grace of God and my Lord and Savior, I had an opportunity to come on up out of it and do great things with great veterans organizations that fought for vets, that fought for reform at the VA, and for war fighters, and at the Fox News Channel to advocate for those very same causes
• I’m not going to back down from them one bit
• I will answer all of these senators’ questions, but this will not be a process tried in the media
• It was constructive, candid, and transparent
• I’ve always liked his attitude about kicking down doors and changing the process and disrupting the place
• I’ve always loved the fact that it has a face for peace through strength
• Pete has a great one because I always say that, you know, we talk a lot about deterrence
• And we usually reference then some sort of a weapon system
• But deterrence isn’t just a weapon system
