TRANSCRIPT:
[01:17:01] George Rasley: Thank you for the opportunity to appear with these distinguished warriors as an army brat. I wish my late father were here to see me sharing the stage with these men, and so thank them for their service. Pete Hegseth confirmation is absolutely crucial because we’ve got to understand that reforming the military, improving our national security, we’re [01:17:30] among the five issues that the Trump coalition of voters voted for the president elect to do. And so this isn’t something like climate change that’s way down at the bottom of the list, so to speak. This is crucial to fulfilling the mandate that President Trump was given in this last election. And Pete Hegseth is one [01:18:00] of the few guys, and I’ve read both his books and I’ve met him who I think understands that Obama and Biden didn’t just allow the US government and the EU and the United States military to be penetrated by Islamists, Red Chinese and domestic Marxists. They facilitated it and encouraged it and advanced it through their appointments and their policies. So no one should be surprised [01:18:30] at some of the events that have occurred, you know, in the past couple of days. All of our enemies are or have been represented at the highest levels of our government and our military. And even if you could fire every officer above the rank of major and start over again, that wouldn’t really fix the problem, because the rot has been has crept so deep into the service academies and the universities. And [01:19:00] Pete gets this it’s a thread in his books. It’s a thread in his Fox News commentaries. And so, you know, I personally think that you really need to do a complete security review of every one in a position of trust in both the civilian and the military sides of our government. But that’s probably a little impractical. But Pete understands where the [01:19:30] rod is and the steps necessary to remove it. And the Senate can do nothing more important to preserve the integrity, the sovereignty and the national defense of our country than confirming Pete Hegseth promptly. So I’m going to turn it back to you, Frank, because I know we’re running over.
