YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

President-elect Donald Trump’s choice for defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, calls himself a “change agent” heading into a potentially explosive confirmation hearing Tuesday as senators question whether the former combat veteran and TV news show host is fit to lead the U.S. military. #trump #hegseth #politics #worldnews

Hegseth’s former experience in the Army National Guard is widely viewed as an asset for the job, but he also brings a jarring record of past statements and actions, including allegations of sexual assault, excessive drinking and derisive views about women in military combat roles, minorities and “woke” generals. He has vowed to not drink alcohol if he is confirmed to lead the Pentagon.
