Pete Hegseth During PT Session: As Trump Said, Iran Can Do It the Right Way or Deal with My Guy on the Left, ‘But It’s Not Me, It’s You Guys’

TRANSCRIPT:

HEGSETH: “And when you do your job, the adversaries know what’s coming for them. And that’s when they either step up and meet the fury of the American military, or back down and you create a whole bunch of options for America, the president, what he wants to execute on behalf of the American people. So, right now, Iran has a choice, meet at the table with the president, give up their nuclear program, and as the president said — I’m lost on time, two days ago now — in the cabinet meeting, I’m sitting right next to him. He looks in the camera, he says: ‘Well, Iran can either do it the right way, with a deal, across the table, or they could deal with my guy on the left.’ That happened to be me. But it’s not me. It’s you, guys. It’s what you’re ready to do.”
