For the first time in years I actually feel safer, tbh.. Biden is non compos mentis. Invoke 25, please...still time, tick tock.

The MAGA Republicans are going to ram him thru. That's why no second hearing. Hedgehog is too weak to go thru questioning by the Dems again and the MAGAs are hiding him.
The one thing that all MAGA politicians have in common is their insistence that they didn’t do anything wrong, the fake news is printing lies, and they are the true victims. Whiners and complainers, the lot of them.
That was what I first noticed too. He has obviously mastered the MAGA communication technique of 'just keep talking, no matter how inane you sound, so they can't pin you down.' Watching them do that makes me CRAZY!!
@@MrMorokiatt Hedseth will be under oath for full senate confirmation hearing tho. We got a taste of where Dems will focus when questioning him when it counts.

But on the other hand there is real evidence that Joe Biden was involved in a pay for influence scheme, is that not morally vacant ? There is real evidence of the Biden administration putting overwhelming overwhelming pressure on social media companies to bury anti Biden and Covid stories, is that not morally vacant?

As a USAF veteran who worked in DC at HQAFOSI I underwent an extended background investigation to get a security clearance. This candidate is completely unqualified and could not pass the same criteria I passed. This is a disgrace to all who served and are currently serving.
Now do Hillary Clinton and her not understanding what the "C" means on the top of documents she received while Sec of State. Do you think you and she would get the same treatment?

@@MrGgabber riiiiight. You can’t even name the current Secretary of Defense, who is a 4-star general, without looking it up on the internet. The serial adulterer who knocked up another women when he was married and who has been accused by multiple women and people of excessive drinking and being repeatedly drunk, and who degrades women-who has virtually no significant leadership experience-yeah, let’s put him in charge of the million soldiers and staff and almost a trillion dollar budget. His OWN MOTHER said pretty horrible things about him in public. Yikes. What could go wrong?!
He must have some enemies! Imagine any one person being such a target over multiple years prior to Trump giving him this role. Smoke/Fire. He talks over every Democrat. Republicans LOVE him because he is a smooth liar, just like his "boss". Kelly is spot on. We're DOOMED.

Oh absolutely, that's the current state of affairs. Not a single one of these picks are decent civilians. He should have said, I do not remember (given his state at the time).
But it's no laughing matter if this guy becomes head of Dept. of Defense, though any loyalist Trump appoints will simply be acting on orders - constitutional or not - from his boss, DT. Trump learned, from his first administration, not to hire responsible, reputable people who will object or refuse to carry out his unconstitutional or illegal orders.
@@DT-ht8jnHey laughing boy, if they are not anonymous, where are they ? They should at least be willing to put their name behind such damning accusations!

He could’ve just said all true but I’ve overcome those personal misjudgments. Kelly gave him an out but he refused to take it and just deflect blame instead.
Exactly, so as Kelly said: this guy doesn't even have the moral courage to be transparent about what he himself admits was wrong. How would we EVER trust a Sec. of Defense who doesn't have the guts to be transparent when something goes wrong?? This guy is a JOKE.
It really doesn't matter what Hegseth says because like trump's SCOTUS nominees, they can say one thing in front of Congress and then just do as they please after they get the job. Integrity and honesty are relics of political days gone by. I know politicians have always fudged a bit but he out and out lying and hypocrisy these days is obscene.

Because Republicans are in the majority in the senate the only way to stop his appointment is if Republicans vote against it. Not really anything democrats can do aside from exposing how unqualified he is
Most SecDef have never even served in the military. Hegseth was a military officer that served in war. He's highly qualified. More qualified than most who have held the position.
@@TheWitness10 He was an officer who was forced to resign due to drunken antics that called his character into question - one who never got beyond the rank of major nor led any unit greater than a company! He’s barely qualified to comment on the Faux News channel…

He could’ve just said all true but I’ve overcome those personal misjudgments. Kelly gave him an out but he refused to take it and just deflect blame instead.
Exactly, so as Kelly said: this guy doesn't even have the moral courage to be transparent about what he himself admits was wrong. How would we EVER trust a Sec. of Defense who doesn't have the guts to be transparent when something goes wrong?? This guy is a JOKE.
"Anonymous smears" sounds like something we may have found on his clothing after being carried, drunk, to his room.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Priceless!
Everyone that i have seen question him is more qualified that him
DEI hire has become BRO hire.....no qualif8cations required
BRO hire is nothing new, by the way.
That was a remarkable comment.
Why is he not under oath?!
Good grief. DEI hire, needs special privileges to get a job.
Good job, Mark Kelly. Very well said. And Hegseth should be answering under oath.
It really doesn't matter what Hegseth says because like trump's SCOTUS nominees, they can say one thing in front of Congress and then just do as they please after they get the job. Integrity and honesty are relics of political days gone by. I know politicians have always fudged a bit but he out and out lying and hypocrisy these days is obscene.
THAT'S MY SENATOR! Mark Kelly is a TRUE military vet and a person of honor, and he doesn't play! (And an astronaut to boot!)
If we stand on senator; Kelly's shoulders, we can touch the moon ☯️
Better luck if you get his actually useful brother..
I love it when he says his "leadership has been completely impugned"....😆
This guy is as qualified as a toilet seat, but hey he found god.🤣😂 Your country is in so much trouble and half your citizens have no idea, simply incredible.🇨🇦
Most of us are terrified.
@arianebuckeridge7085 I'm sorry. Unlike "Eva Marie", I don't find your suffering funny at all. Canadians are in a mess with this, too. We have our own magas! And I can tell you, many people in my community are afraid, too. I stand with Americans who love democracy and didn't vote for this. 🇨🇦
TRUE, TRUE , TRUE, TRUE, TRUE, TRUE, TRUE.
Overwhelming majority of staffers did NOT complain that he raped them? He claims that should be enough? What an utterly immoral idiot.
Thank you Sen. Kelly
"Anonymous smears ' ? "Aren't you embarrassed "?!?
Hegseth is a terrible choice. And every single Republican will vote to confirm him.
WE in AZ believe you will do the RIGHT THING Senator Kelly.. vote NO!!! He is a DISGRACE 🤢🤮
Does Hegseth know the definition of anonymous?
Wow these are all true and yet he can't even look Kelly in the face. This guy has really bad karma coming for him
Kelly is the model for all public servants. He is so clear and well prepared, thoughtful, just a great man
A truly great man.
❤❤Well done Sen Kelly
Awesome job Senator Kelly!!!
America is crazy to support such people!
Truth is an unknown country that should never be visited to the MAGA Republican party.
Pls stop his appointment. Not mature enough even if you could overlook the rest of his issues…they are many. Ask his mother…pretty telling
Because Republicans are in the majority in the senate the only way to stop his appointment is if Republicans vote against it. Not really anything democrats can do aside from exposing how unqualified he is
This men don’t has qualifications to be in that position
He’s barely qualified for his current job…
Most SecDef have never even served in the military. Hegseth was a military officer that served in war. He's highly qualified. More qualified than most who have held the position.
@@TheWitness10 He was an officer who was forced to resign due to drunken antics that called his character into question - one who never got beyond the rank of major nor led any unit greater than a company! He’s barely qualified to comment on the Faux News channel…
Bravo rep. Kelly ❤
He's a Senator.
Mark Kelly is a SUPERB Senator + human being.
