So my favorite pick of the day yesterday. And Trump is rolling out these picks unbelievably fast. Remember, the election just happened last week. Okay, the election was a grand total at this point of eight days ago, and Donald Trump has already

Already rolled out nearly his entire cabinet at this point, at least when it comes to the national security side. Yesterday, he rolled out Pete Hagseth, Army veteran and Fox News host, as his choice for Secretary of Defense. And the usual suspects are going absolutely insane. I think perhaps my favorite response has come courtesy of Politico, which is losing it over the fact that Pete Hagseth is an outsider. So for example, they put out APs saying qu that that it's all about how the defense industry, the defense industry lobbyists are very upset. Quote, one assessment was more blunt. Who the F is this guy? said a defense industry lobbyist who has granted anonymity to offer candid views. The lobbyists said they had hoped for someone who actually has an extensive background in defense.
Ben Shapiro 1:54
That would be a good start. Well, here is Problem, guys. The people who have been running our defense apparatus for nigh on two decades at this point have done a horrendous job. The Department of Defense has been signally responsible for the worst botch pullout in American history and Afghanistan. A completely failed response to terrorism by the Houthis in the Red Sea. A completely weak response to Russian invasion of Ukraine. That's what the Department of Defense has done. They've They've burdened the Department of Defense with a bunch of woke nonsense. Plus, they have not actually built to spec, meaning that they are not interested in the next war. They just keep building for the last war. There needs to be a tremendous overhaul inside the Pentagon, and Pete He Pete Hegseth is the guy to do that.

You can sense it from all of the wailing and gnashing of teeth from all the right people. Apparently, Elizabeth Warren is super upset. Elizabeth Warren tweeted out, quote, a Fox and Friends weekend co-host is not qualified to be Secretary of Defense. I lead the Senate military personnel panel. All three of my brothers served in uniform. I respect every one of our service members. Donald Trump's pick will make us less safe and must be rejected. So um I'm just gonna point out at this point that she says that her qualification to be on the Senate military personnel panel is that she has siblings who served. Pete Hegseth is an army major. He was in the National Guard. He served in both Iraq and Afghanistan and was awarded the bronze star twice.
Ben Shapiro 3:15
He goes in. I know Pete Hexeth. Pete Hexeth is awesome. He's awesome. He's gonna break all the right brains. He's going to go in, he's gonna clean house.
