GREG KELLY (HOST): So Pete Hegseth is the nominee for secretary of defense. And, yeah, I don't think he's qualified. And I actually don't think he's going to get that job because -- well, because of a lot of things, but mostly this - he suggested we watch the Megyn Kelly interview. So, well, I did.
...
KELLY: OK. That's blackmail. He was blackmailed, and that's a problem. And that's why he can't be secretary of defense. I'm sorry. He's a very talented guy. I said that last week. Big future doing something, but it can't be secretary of defense. It's obvious.
Donald Trump — love the guy, but he has made mistakes before. And, well, especially when it comes to the Pentagon. He picked General Mattis to be secretary of defense. Turned out to be a traitor borderline, or at least a mutineer. And General Milley selected by President Trump, confirmed by the Senate for chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
