EMILY COMPANGO (FOX NEWS HOST): To be frank, it's incredibly impressive, Hegseth. I get a good night's sleep, and I can't keep up with the president's schedule even reading it. This is a incredible example of his stamina, his endurance and his commitments, I argue, to those who he does represent and you put that in contrast to the current president who does anything but.
PETE HEGSETH (FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR): Yeah it is sheer fortitude, it's a willingness to say you are locking me up in a courtroom, I know it's election interference, I'm gonna tell everybody that every time that it's election interference. I'm going to remind you that I should be campaigning somewhere else but since you have me trapped I'm going to go to all the places where Democrats used to go and where Joe could never go. So reminding the world I am a different kind of candidate. You think ten years ago a Republican going to a bodega or the FDNY is getting the same reception that he gets? Or a construction site? No, the whole game has changed. so I, they think they had him trapped, but he's smarter than them.
