Talks between Israel and Hamas continue in Qatar
When President Trump chose me for this position, the primary charge he gave me was to bring the warrior culture back to the Department of Defense. He, like me, wants a Pentagon laser-focused on lethality, meritocracy, warfighting, accountability and readiness.

Concern in Europe after Trump and Putin agree to start Ukraine talks
We recognize the incredible commitment that has been made over many years. And no country, as President Trump has pointed out, has made a larger commitment to the Ukrainian mission than the United States of America, north of $300 billion. So the United States has invested in stabilising those front lines after the aggression of Russia. There is no betrayal there.

Trump says he expects to meet Putin in Saudi Arabia
We want, like you... a sovereign and prosperous Ukraine. But we must start by recognizing that returning to Ukraine's pre-2014 borders is an unrealistic objective. Chasing this illusionary goal will only prolong the war and cause more suffering. A durable peace for Ukraine must include robust security guarantees to ensure that the war will not begin again. That said,

Trump says he expects to meet Putin in Saudi Arabia

Israel accuses Hamas of 'evil' violation of ceasefire
President Trump has said definitively that shipbuilding will be one of his absolute top priorities of this administration. If we're going to defend our interests, our allies, and put America first, we're going to have to be able to project power. That means shipbuilding. It means historic investments in our defense industrial base there.

NATO calls for unity as tensions rise with US over Ukraine
I think realism is an important part of the conversation that hasn't existed enough inside conversations amongst friends. But simply pointing out realism, like the borders won't be rolled back to what everybody would like them to be in 2014, is not a concession to Vladimir Putin.
Global News Podcast
NATO calls for unity as tensions rise with US over Ukraine
It's a recognition of the hard power realities on the ground after a lot of investment and sacrifice, first by the Ukrainians and then by allies, and then a realization that a negotiated peace is going to be some sort of demarcation that neither side wants.

Ep. 2146 - MORE WINNING: House GOP Passes BIG, BEAUTIFUL Budget!
Our challenge to House Republicans is after you pass this budget today, which cuts Medicaid by $880 billion, go home and have a town hall with your constituents. See how they feel about what you just did. If you're going to rip away healthcare from people, then you want to be able to defend your vote directly to them.

The Ben Shapiro Show
Ep. 2137 - The Trump-Musk REVOLUTION Continues!
The Defense Department is not in the business of climate change, solving the global thermostat. We're in the business of deterring and winning wars. So things like that we want to look for to find efficiencies, and many others, the way we acquire weapons systems, procurement. There's plenty of places where we want the keen eye of Doge, but we'll do it in coordination.

The Ben Shapiro Show
Ep. 2147 - HUGE: The Washington Post SURRENDERS…To Reality!

We know who invaded who. We understand the stakes of this game. America, more than any other country in the world, has invested in helping Ukraine defend itself. Now it's time for peace, and that's what the president is dedicated to.

Senator, we're going to address that. We won World War II with seven four-star generals. Today, we have 44 four-star generals. There's an inverse relationship between the size of staffs and victory on the battlefield. We don't need more bureaucracy at the top. We need more warfighters empowered at the bottom.

Senator, at Vets for Freedom, we were a small upstart. Our focus was working on Capitol Hill, going back to the battlefield, war fighters. Just the number, please. We probably had eight to ten full-time staff and lots of volunteers.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Pete Hegseth Confirmation Hearing Watch Party
I think we had... Over 100 full-time staff at Concern Vets for America, roughly, with thousands of volunteers. I was also a headquarters company commander, which would have been a couple of hundred. So nothing remotely near the size of the Defense Department, I would acknowledge that.

The Charlie Kirk Show
The Pete Hegseth Confirmation Hearing Watch Party
First of all, Senator, thank you for the question. Thank you for your time. I think the first and most important thing we could have done is elect Donald Trump as the new commander in chief because past is prologue.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Pete Hegseth Confirmation Hearing Watch Party
Our warfighters understand what kind of commander in chief they're going to get in President Donald Trump, someone who stands behind them, someone who gives them clear missions, someone who ends wars decisively. And the issue of Ukraine was mentioned and ensures new wars are not started.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Pete Hegseth Confirmation Hearing Watch Party
Could you repeat the question, Senator?
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Pete Hegseth Confirmation Hearing Watch Party
I have not been involved in international security arrangements because I have not been in government other than serving in the military. So my job has been to lead men and women in combat.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Pete Hegseth Confirmation Hearing Watch Party
You're talking about defense arrangements. I mean, NATO might be one that you're referring to.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Pete Hegseth Confirmation Hearing Watch Party
Status of Forces Agreement. I've been a part of teaching about Status of Forces Agreements.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Pete Hegseth Confirmation Hearing Watch Party
I couldn't tell you the exact amount of nations in that. But I know we have allies in South Korea and Japan and in Australia and trying to work on submarines with them. None of those countries are in ASEAN.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Pete Hegseth Confirmation Hearing Watch Party
There was a minor incursion under Barack Obama into Crimea, followed by nothing under President Trump, followed by an all out war. assault by Vladimir Putin into Ukraine under the Biden administration. That did not happen under Donald Trump. Donald Trump managed the Taliban.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Pete Hegseth Confirmation Hearing Watch Party
The Biden administration, Afghanistan collapsed tragically, ending the lives of 13 at Abbey Gate, who we remember every single day, and no one was held accountable for that. Chinese spy balloons were flying over the country. None of that happened under Donald Trump, and our warfighters understand that. So there's no better recruiter, in my mind, for our military than President Donald Trump.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Pete Hegseth Confirmation Hearing Watch Party
Senator, I think there are already, to the credit of, I believe the Army and other services have now caught up to that, which have piloted programs that have had some success that have allowed young Americans who want to serve in the military but can't necessarily pass the ASFAB or pass the APFT to get into basic training an opportunity to get caught up, a preparatory class.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Pete Hegseth Confirmation Hearing Watch Party
Unfortunately, yes, we do have a problem of obesity in our country, not necessarily something that the if I'm confirmed secretary of defense is able to address. But I do think leading from the front matters. I do think having a secretary of defense that will go out and do PT with the troops matters that has been out there and done that before.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Pete Hegseth Confirmation Hearing Watch Party
And hopefully that's a motivating factor for young people. But it. The reality of obesity and criminal backgrounds and medical problems have long been an issue of recruitment in America, unfortunately.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Pete Hegseth Confirmation Hearing Watch Party
What changed is the perception of military service because of the condition of the services and, frankly, because of, in some ways, the way our schools don't teach young people to love the country anymore. And if you don't love the country, why do you want to serve that country? That's a deeper problem.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Pete Hegseth Confirmation Hearing Watch Party
But all of those things need to be addressed to revive recruiting, and obesity is certainly a part of it. Thank you for that.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Pete Hegseth Confirmation Hearing Watch Party
Senator, absolutely. A number one from day one with a mandate from the commander in chief. who received that mandate when Americans spoke out loudly and said, we want peace through strength, we want America first foreign policy, and we don't want political ideology driving decisions inside our Defense Department. That was clear.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Pete Hegseth Confirmation Hearing Watch Party
It's an infection that the American people are acutely aware of, which the men and women in this room have lived firsthand. I've lived it firsthand. And that's why it will be a priority. And I truly believe, and I'm humbled by this, The response we've already seen from young men and women who've decided to join the military when they had said, I wasn't going to.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Pete Hegseth Confirmation Hearing Watch Party
But seeing a commander-in-chief, Donald Trump, reassured them. Seeing the possibility, if confirmed, of a secretary of defense that would have their back reassured them. And so in the first couple of months after President Trump...
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Pete Hegseth Confirmation Hearing Watch Party
My job is to come alongside him, should I be confirmed, and continue to emphasize his emphasis on warfighting, on getting anything that doesn't contribute to meritocracy outlawed.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Pete Hegseth Confirmation Hearing Watch Party
Senator, that's a very important conversation, one that I've been looking at a great deal. A lot of it, just to be clear, involves classifications and understanding precisely cost and capabilities, including capabilities of enemy systems, both not just fourth and fifth, but potential sixth generation, which we've already seen a prototype released from the Chinese.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Pete Hegseth Confirmation Hearing Watch Party
That's a dangerous development considering at least the publicly understood condition of NGAD, which I look forward to the opportunity to looking underneath the hood on that. But ensuring fourth and fifth are capable and upgraded as necessary will be a part of our contingency.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Pete Hegseth Confirmation Hearing Watch Party
But when you look at what's happening in the Indo-Pacific, say operability range is going to matter because it's such a large battle space, that will all factor in decisions that are made. And that's where I feel, frankly, a little bit liberated. is that I didn't work at Lockheed or any number of, pick a defense contractor. I didn't mean to point one out in particular. Pick any. I haven't.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Pete Hegseth Confirmation Hearing Watch Party
I don't have a special interest in any particular system or any particular company or any particular narrative. I want to know what works. I want to know what defeats our enemies, what keeps us safe, what deters them, what keeps our enemies up at night. Whatever that is, I want more of it. And I want to invest in it. And I know that's the view that President Trump has as well.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Pete Hegseth Confirmation Hearing Watch Party
I look forward to working with you on that, Senator, because unmanned will be a very important part of the way future wars are fought. Just the idea of survivability for a human being drives cost and time in ways that unmanned systems do not. But I look forward to that conversation, Senator.

Senator, veterans deserve the benefits they've earned. I have... been in many battles with traditional veterans organizations over differences of opinion about how to deliver those services, including veterans choice.

VSOs is a very broad term. We were a VSO also, ma'am. But some of those services took a traditionally bureaucratic approach.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Pete Hegseth Confirmation Hearing Watch Party
Senator, I think we should be ashamed as a nation of the amount of veterans that commit suicide because they hit a brick wall. They commit suicide because they hit a brick wall of the bureaucracy of the VA. And the reformers are not courage enough.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Pete Hegseth Confirmation Hearing Watch Party
Senator, with all due humility, I don't know that there's anyone in this room over the last 20 years that have worked harder to ensure that our veterans are taken care of. It has been a passion of my life alongside with so many on this dais to make sure that veterans receive, and it is a recruiting crisis.
The Charlie Kirk Show

It's a benefit they've earned and a hand up to the next chapter of their life. But these are your words then.

Senator, the world has had, our friends in the world have had no better ally. Our allies have had no better friend than President Donald Trump, who's reinvigorated a NATO alliance, who's stood behind Israel in every way, in ways this administration has not.

Best guidance to the president of the United States on matters like that.

Well, Senator, thank you for the question. First and foremost, up front, you have to tear out DEI and CRT initiatives root and branch out of institutions. 100%.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Pete Hegseth Confirmation Hearing Watch Party
And then you have to put in Army, Navy, and Air Force secretaries and others, civilian positions at the helm, who are committed to the same priorities that the President of the United States is, and if confirmed, the Secretary of Defense will be. Send a clear message that this is not a time for equity. Equity is a very different word than equality. Equality is the bedrock of our military.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Pete Hegseth Confirmation Hearing Watch Party
Men and women, duty positions in uniform, black, white, doesn't matter. We treat you equally based on who you are in the image of God as an individual. And we all get the same bad haircuts. You're not an individual. You're part of a group. Equity prescribes some sort of an outcome based on differing attributes that we have that divide us. What skin color are you? What gender are you?
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Pete Hegseth Confirmation Hearing Watch Party
And then infuse that into institutions which manifest in things like quotas, formal or informal, which does what to morale? sends it in the tubes, and it makes people feel like they're being judged by something other than how good they are at their job, which is poisonous inside institutions.

Senator, the overwhelming majority of anyone who's worked for me, including the on-the-record statements that have been submitted to this, with their name on it, on the record, men and women who worked with me every day are the overwhelming preponderance of evidence that testify to my leadership and professionalism in leading Vets for Freedom and Concerned Veterans for America.

The Charlie Kirk Show

Senator, all I'm pointing out is the false claims against me.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Pete Hegseth Confirmation Hearing Watch Party
I really do think it comes back to strong, clear leadership. patriotic, pro-American leadership that says we're not going to focus on all the other political prerogatives. That's why we all have political perspectives. I said this before and I'll say it again. In uniform, none of that matters. You wear green, you wear blue, you bleed red. That's it. Who you vote for doesn't matter.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Pete Hegseth Confirmation Hearing Watch Party
But when the perception of that changes, then you don't want people deciding whether to serve based on a political party in power. That's a dangerous thing for continuity inside your military. And it's fragile right now. President Trump. And if I'm confirmed with my leadership, we're going to restore the continuity of an apolitical military that acts decisively and only based on merit.

Senator, again, I very much appreciate you bringing up my comments from 2013, because for me, this issue has always been about standards.

The Charlie Kirk Show

Senator, the concerns I have and the concerns that many have had, especially in ground combat units, is that in pursuit of certain percentages or quotas, standards have been changed. And that makes the combat more difficult for everybody involved.

Rose Garden 'Liberation Day' Reaction
Here at the Defense Department, we are restoring the warrior ethos, and that means we've got to be fit to fight inside all of our formations. That starts with standards and going back to basics. So for decades, the military I joined, there were different male and female physical standards because men and women are different. And that's understandable.
The Charlie Kirk Show
Rose Garden 'Liberation Day' Reaction
But there were certain jobs, combat MOSs, that were only for men. And so you had a male standard. Then in 2015, under the Obama administration, against the advice of the military services, opened up all those combat MOSs to males and females. Fine, if that's their decision. But they never changed the standards in a lot of those roles.
The Charlie Kirk Show
Rose Garden 'Liberation Day' Reaction
So you still had higher standards for men than for women in a lot of those combat MOSs. Some changed it, but not all did. We're fixing that.
The Charlie Kirk Show
Rose Garden 'Liberation Day' Reaction
We're ensuring that any combat position across any of the services, and the services are evaluating that, has the same standard for men and women, which means anybody can join. But the standard is to meet what it takes to do that combat job. Rigorous physical standards so that your sons and daughters, those that join our military, have the best possible units, the most lethal units.
The Charlie Kirk Show
Rose Garden 'Liberation Day' Reaction
So this is a standard review looking at combat units, looking at men and women. No standards will be lowered only at the highest level. And we look forward to all our best warriors joining those units. It's a review that's important, long overdue, and the kind of thing we promised inside the Trump administration.

If these troops are deployed as peacekeepers to Ukraine at any point, they should be deployed as part of a non-NATO mission, and they should not be covered under Article 5.

And I would point out, I've never disparaged women serving in the military. I respect every single female service member that has put on the uniform past and present. My critiques, Senator, recently and in the past, and from personal experience, have been instances where I've seen standards lowered.

Senator, as someone who's led men in combat directly and had to make very difficult decisions, I've thought very deeply about the balance between legality and lethality. Sir, I'm talking about restrictive rules of engagement that these men and women behind me understand they've lived with on the battlefield, which has made it more difficult to defeat our enemies.

In many of the cases you're talking about in particular, sir, there was evidence withheld There was prosecutorial misconduct.

The wokeness comes not from the uniform ranked, Senator, but from the political class. On day one, on January 20th, when President Trump is sworn in, he will issue a new set of lawful orders. And the leadership of our services will have an opportunity to follow those lawful orders or not. Those lawful orders will not be based on politics.

They will be based on readiness, accountability, standards, and lethality. That is the process by which leaders will be judged. And accountability is coming. Because everybody in this room knows, if you're a rifleman and you lose your rifle... They're throwing the book at you. But if you're a general who loses a war, you get a promotion. That's not going to happen in Donald Trump's Pentagon.
