Trump defense pick Pete Hegseth heckled by protesters at Senate confirmationReuters
Transcript
00:00This hearing is for you. Thank you for figuratively and literally having my
00:06back.
00:24As I've said to many of you in private meetings, when President Trump chose me
00:28for this position, the primary charge he gave me
00:32was to bring the warrior culture back to the Department of Defense.
00:36He, like me, once a Pentagon, laser focused
00:40on lethality, meritocracy, war fighting, accountability, and readiness.
00:58You may continue, sir.
01:11To bring back war fighting, if confirmed, I'm going to work with President Trump
01:16and this committee to, one, restore the warrior ethos
01:21to the Pentagon and throughout our fighting force. In doing so, we will
01:24re-establish trust in our military, addressing the recruiting crisis,
01:29retention crisis, and readiness crisis in our ranks.
01:36Members of the security force will remove members.
