I think he's going to reform the military very quickly, and I think we're going to get back to

0:14.2

having a functioning military that people can be proud of rather than counting, you know,

how many lesbian generals that wear dog collars we have. I spent more than 10 years of Fox News. I don't think I'm qualified to run the DOD. The most egregious accusation you make against him, though, is that he's an extremist because he has a tattoo. Could you tell us what the tattoo is? Oh, my Lord. Breaking news, Donald Trump has gone on his true social platform. We have a deal for hostages in the Middle East. They will be released shortly, thank you. Whether it's Trump who does it, whether it's Biden who does it. The war has to end. What did Gavin Newsom do to prevent this? He did absolutely nothing.

1:36.9

But no, I just ask the simple question. You've taken an oath like you would take an oath to be Secretary of Defense and all of your weddings to be faithful to your wife. Is that correct?

1:45.2

I have failed in things in my life, and thankfully I'm redeemed by my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
