TRANSCRIPT:
[01:12:05] Matt Lohmeier: There’s been tremendous opposition from some corners to President Trump’s nomination of Pete Hegseth, the secretary of defense. And, of course, there’s also been a tremendous show of support from the veteran community, and for good reason. President Trump has given Pete Hegseth a mandate to eliminate all distractions to lethality and war fighting in the military workplace and the American people and our veteran community and [01:12:30] our service members have seen far too much in the media over the past four years. That looks like distraction. And it has been a distraction to our troops, lethality and war, fighting and readiness, and our recruiting and retention of suffering. Also, as we’ve seen, Pete takes that very seriously. And as you mentioned, I wrote a book about cultural Marxism called Irresistible Revolution. I know the matter very well. I understand this impulse that has swept across the entire Defense [01:13:00] Department and all federal agencies. Quite frankly, it’s important at this juncture in American history that President Trump get a great pick for secretary of defense. Frankly, all of his cabinet members, he’s picked a great person to lead the Defense Department, who I think will take this mandate from President Trump to eliminate all distractions from the military workplace.
[01:13:24] Matt Lohmeier: Seriously, that’s Pete Hegseth. I know Pete personally. I’ve spent time with Pete in person [01:13:30] over the past couple of years for his program at Fox, on Fox Nation specials, and in Nashville on multiple trips. And I know firsthand that Pete takes military culture very seriously. He is outspoken about these issues as people have seen over the past couple of years. And of course, as people are talking about, he’s written at least two very powerful books that directly relate to this topic of distractions and education in the military [01:14:00] workplace. But I know firsthand that he takes this very seriously, and that he is committed to carrying out President Trump’s mandate to eliminate those distractions. And so people on either side of the political aisle might have a problem with pick your thing. But here’s someone that, in a very real way, at this juncture, where we’re trying to eliminate distractions. This should not be a Partizan issue. You should have Democrats and Republicans both lining up to support President Trump’s pick, because you have someone who’s interested in [01:14:30] focusing exclusively on war fighting. I mean, that’s what our Defense Department is all about. And Pete Hegseth will certainly do that.
