The Don Lemon Show · HOT TOPICS | Pete Hegseth Faces Confirmation Hearing - January 14th, 2025 · 14 Jan 2025 podcast

And let me read out two things to you, two sentences. voice-verified

I will always place the mission first and I am disciplined physically and mentally tough, trained and proficient in my warrior task. voice-verified

Mr. Hegseth, our troops follow these words every single day and they man up and they pack their rucksacks and they go to war and they deserve a leader who can lead them, not a leader who wants to lower the standards for himself or raising the standards voice-verified

And by the way, our troops already meet the standards. voice-verified

We ask troops to man that ship, fight that fire, fly that helicopter until their very last breath. voice-verified

And they do that every single day. voice-verified

They cannot be led by someone who's not competent to do the job. voice-verified

How can we ask these warriors to train and perform the absolute highest standards when you are asking us to lower the standards to make you the Secretary of Defense simply because you are buddies with our president-elect? voice-verified

And by the way, he has filed for bankruptcy six times. voice-verified

I'm not quite sure he's the kind of CEO you want to refer to as a successful businessman. voice-verified

Let me make it clear. voice-verified

You can't seem to grasp that there is no US military as we know it without the incredible women that we serve. voice-verified

Women who earned their place in their units. voice-verified

You have not earned your place as Secretary of Defense. voice-verified

You say you care about keeping our armed forces strong and that you like that our armed forces are meritocracy. voice-verified

Then let's not lower the standards for you. voice-verified

You, sir, are a no-go at this station. voice-verified
