LAURA INGRAHAM (HOST): He's been on that issue of what woke-ifying our warriors and our warrior class has done to military morale, to recruitment. He has been on the problems we've had in our deficit and recruitment like nobody's business. And, man, that's going to be a big, big task for him to undertake when he gets into the Pentagon -- which, of course, he'll get confirmed no problem given his incredible background. But that's a challenge because we've lost a lot of great men and women in the military because of how left things have gone inside the various branches -- maybe not the Marines, but the rest.
JASON CHAFFETZ (CONTRIBUTOR): Yeah, I think it was Rob O'Neill who said, you know, we're over here arguing about who should use which bathroom and the Chinese are putting together a fighting force and building up their military. Pete understands this, and you do that by putting on the uniform and actually being out there in the combat theater like Pete Hegseth has. I think he'll get easily confirmed. I dare any Republican senator to vote against him. That is not in their best interest. And we need to get him in place as soon as possible.
