Scott Jennings to Rampell: Why Do You Denigrate Pete Hegseth’s Service?

RAMPELL I think it ░░░░░░░░ not only about this ░░░░░░░░ flip flop on women ░░░░░░░░ in the military It ░░░░░░░░ not only about the ░░░░░░░░ that he hasn t ░░░░░░░░ something as large as ░░░░░░░░ Burger King probably but ░░░░░░░░ he could not answer ░░░░░░░░ questions not just gotcha ░░░░░░░░ Like questions like Would ░░░░░░░░ uphold the Geneva Vonventions ░░░░░░░░ you refuse an unlawful ░░░░░░░░ if the president gave ░░░░░░░░ one which did happen ░░░░░░░░ Trump before with with ░░░░░░░░ Would you ever sick ░░░░░░░░ U S Military on ░░░░░░░░ citizens You know there ░░░░░░░░ many examples of questions ░░░░░░░░ yes he was very ░░░░░░░░ and polished and he ░░░░░░░░ a TV host That ░░░░░░░░ his main qualification I ░░░░░░░░ in TV we sometimes ░░░░░░░░ confused JENNINGS Why do ░░░░░░░░ denigrate this man s ░░░░░░░░ I don t understand ░░░░░░░░ years decorated Ivy Leaguer ░░░░░░░░ Scott JENNINGS He s ░░░░░░░░ TV host That s ░░░░░░░░ he is It s ░░░░░░░░ his main qualifications Cross ░░░░░░░░ RAMPELL It is his ░░░░░░░░ JENNINGS You just said ░░░░░░░░ TV host is his ░░░░░░░░ qualification RAMPELL It is ░░░░░░░░ main qualification JENNINGS You ░░░░░░░░ denigrating this man s ░░░░░░░░ RAMPELL Not every member ░░░░░░░░ serves deserves to be ░░░░░░░░ charge of the DOD ░░░░░░░░ She said his main ░░░░░░░░ is that he s ░░░░░░░░ TV host And I ░░░░░░░░ sorry that s just ░░░░░░░░ RAMPELL It is Do ░░░░░░░░ think he would have ░░░░░░░░ chosen for this job ░░░░░░░░ His main qualification is ░░░░░░░░ he s a war ░░░░░░░░ and he s going ░░░░░░░░ be the closest war ░░░░░░░░ we ve ever had ░░░░░░░░ the enlisted people running ░░░░░░░░ Pentagon He s decorated ░░░░░░░░ s an Ivy Leaguer ░░░░░░░░ he knows what he ░░░░░░░░ doing PHILLIP To be ░░░░░░░░ Scott I hear you ░░░░░░░░ that because I remember ░░░░░░░░ Hegseth said it I ░░░░░░░░ you should recall that ░░░░░░░░ have been people who ░░░░░░░░ run the Pentagon who ░░░░░░░░ been in war Even ░░░░░░░░ they are officers they ░░░░░░░░ been in war Their ░░░░░░░░ doesn t get to ░░░░░░░░ denigrated either JENNINGS I ░░░░░░░░ not But I think ░░░░░░░░ s PHILLIP Just to ░░░░░░░░ clear JENNINGS I think ░░░░░░░░ s closer to the ░░░░░░░░ enlisted man who has ░░░░░░░░ deployed and deployed and ░░░░░░░░ than anybody that s ░░░░░░░░ up for this job ░░░░░░░░ forever PHILLIP Fair enough ░░░░░░░░ enough But do not ░░░░░░░░ RAMPELL Which is maybe ░░░░░░░░ he defended war criminals ░░░░░░░░ JENNINGS Oh now he ░░░░░░░░ a war criminal RAMPELL ░░░░░░░░ he defended them when ░░░░░░░░ them O LEARY Let ░░░░░░░░ take a shot at ░░░░░░░░ Let me take a ░░░░░░░░ at this RAMPELL He ░░░░░░░░ them O LEARY This ░░░░░░░░ killed it today He ░░░░░░░░ across as a human ░░░░░░░░ I learned that this ░░░░░░░░ the biggest meeting of ░░░░░░░░ Anonymous ever We had ░░░░░░░░ great job We learned ░░░░░░░░ every senator drinks I ░░░░░░░░ ship them some wine ░░░░░░░░ bring down the alcohol ░░░░░░░░ This was absolutely hilarious ░░░░░░░░ some moments but he ░░░░░░░░ going to get confirmed ░░░░░░░░ we can move on ░░░░░░░░ like dust on boots ░░░░░░░░ guy that went and ░░░░░░░░ saw men and women ░░░░░░░░ And I also learned ░░░░░░░░ that women are in ░░░░░░░░ shape in America than ░░░░░░░░ How about that Because ░░░░░░░░ re RAMPELL Because he ░░░░░░░░ it right Because everybody ░░░░░░░░ him on it O ░░░░░░░░ No no no because ░░░░░░░░ percentage of those coming ░░░░░░░░ and being actually allocated ░░░░░░░░ being tested physically more ░░░░░░░░ than men on a ░░░░░░░░ basis There s a ░░░░░░░░ of obesity in men ░░░░░░░░ goodness We ve learned ░░░░░░░░ lot about health care ░░░░░░░░ But don t you ░░░░░░░░ Hegseth should have known ░░░░░░░░ Allison Then why did ░░░░░░░░ say that they shouldn ░░░░░░░░ serve RAMPELL Yes Allison ░░░░░░░░ right But you re ░░░░░░░░ also trying to run ░░░░░░░░ military He is So ░░░░░░░░ would he obviously he ░░░░░░░░ t even know those ░░░░░░░░ I m not denigrating ░░░░░░░░ hosts I love being ░░░░░░░░ television you know O ░░░░░░░░ I think you should ░░░░░░░░ plus he s a ░░░░░░░░ host Allison Plus he ░░░░░░░░ a TV host right ░░░░░░░░ know he was articulate ░░░░░░░░ You think every TV ░░░░░░░░ should be running the ░░░░░░░░ WILLIAMS Being a TV ░░░░░░░░ is helpful in Donald ░░░░░░░░ s thinking because he ░░░░░░░░ Donald Trump and Donald ░░░░░░░░ s policies on television ░░░░░░░░ is apparently all that ░░░░░░░░ at this But it ░░░░░░░░ not about and this ░░░░░░░░ where I get upset ░░░░░░░░ ve known several people ░░░░░░░░ have run the Pentagon ░░░░░░░░ think back to my ░░░░░░░░ Colin Powell You re ░░░░░░░░ to tell me he ░░░░░░░░ t in war PHILLIP ░░░░░░░░ WILLIAMS Colin Powell was ░░░░░░░░ there fighting in Vietnam ░░░░░░░░ you re suggesting that ░░░░░░░░ is a guy who ░░░░░░░░ his own very macho ░░░░░░░░ about what it means ░░░░░░░░ be a warrior I ░░░░░░░░ t think that it ░░░░░░░░ necessarily in keeping with ░░░░░░░░ S policy with regard ░░░░░░░░ women or and behavior ░░░░░░░░ how we act as ░░░░░░░░ in combat which is ░░░░░░░░ we act within rules ░░░░░░░░ he s he at ░░░░░░░░ says you know what ░░░░░░░░ many rules this is ░░░░░░░░ a killing machine I ░░░░░░░░ that s very upsetting ░░░░░░░░ a lot of people ░░░░░░░░ O LEARY Okay so ░░░░░░░░ can agree you have ░░░░░░░░ be someone of service ░░░░░░░░ the military and you ░░░░░░░░ to serve on TV ░░░░░░░░ You need both qualifications ░░░░░░░░ Well it s actually ░░░░░░░░ the only qualification for ░░░░░░░░ Allison What we learned ░░░░░░░░ is that you have ░░░░░░░░ be a civilian JENNINGS ░░░░░░░░ civilian Allison Right JENNINGS ░░░░░░░░ and we have had ░░░░░░░░ waive that in the ░░░░░░░░ But he has both ░░░░░░░░ has civilian service He ░░░░░░░░ military service He s ░░░░░░░░ educated And you know ░░░░░░░░ s not too many ░░░░░░░░ in the world who ░░░░░░░░ managed whatever 3 million ░░░░░░░░ at a time There ░░░░░░░░ a whole team There ░░░░░░░░ a whole team that ░░░░░░░░ the Pentagon.”
