Matt Walsh: 我认为皮特·黑格塞思在周二的确认听证会上受到了民主党议员的不公平对待。关于女性军人在服役标准上是否较低的争议,实际上根本无需质疑,她们确实如此。民主党议员们通过拙劣的“抓住把柄”时刻和不相干的话语,不断败坏自己的名声,而那些女性议员对黑格塞思的尖声质问,更是加剧了负面影响。尽管皮特·黑格塞思并非完美,但他与前任五角大楼领导层相比,堪称圣人,因为前任领导层犯下了巨大的错误,包括政治清洗、阿富汗撤军灾难以及强制接种实验性新冠疫苗等。密歇根州参议员加里·彼得斯试图以此论点驳斥黑格塞思不适合领导国防部,因为他从未在任何组织中推动过创新,但黑格塞思成功反驳了这一说法。加里·彼得斯在质问黑格塞思时犯了两个错误:首先,他问了一个自己不知道答案的问题;其次,他表明自己并不关心答案。民主党人对黑格塞思的质疑标准与他们对劳埃德·奥斯汀的标准不一致,他们认可奥斯汀领导的两场失败战争的经验,却将黑格塞思缺乏国防行业经验视为缺点。罗德岛州参议员杰克·里德试图通过黑格塞思过去使用“JAGOF”一词来攻击他,但实际上这并不能说明什么问题。几位参议员就黑格塞思关于女性军人的立场对他进行斥责,黑格塞思认为应该对男女军人实行相同的体能标准。各个军种的体能标准对女性的要求都远低于男性,而且这种现象已经持续了几十年。军队试图设定性别和年龄中性的体能标准,但女性士兵的及格率很低,导致测试标准被降低。如果军队对男女士兵采用相同的标准,那么军队中就不会有女性士兵。将女性纳入军队必然意味着降低标准,因为女性无法达到与男性相同的体能标准。除了体能方面,女性也不适合在战场上服役,这既不符合生理条件,也不符合心理条件。 Pete Hegseth: (根据听证会内容推断) 我认为我的资格受到了不公平的质疑。我承认自己并非完美,但我的经验和能力足以胜任国防部长一职。我会努力维护军队的纪律和法律权威,并确保所有军人都受到公平对待,无论性别如何。我会努力提升军队的整体素质,并确保军队能够有效地应对未来的挑战。我会努力确保军队中男女军人的体能标准一致,但这并不意味着我会歧视女性军人。我会努力确保军队能够有效地履行其职责,并保护国家的安全。

Chapters
Pete Hegseth's confirmation hearing for Secretary of Defense saw Democrats' attempts to discredit him backfire. Hegseth, despite past failings, appeared more competent than those who previously held the position, highlighting the failures of the prior administration. Democrats' attacks often involved flawed questioning strategies and poor optics.
  • Democrats' attacks on Pete Hegseth during his confirmation hearing were largely unsuccessful.
  • Hegseth's past failings were contextualized against the backdrop of the Pentagon's previous failures under Lloyd Austin.
  • Democrats' questioning tactics were criticized as ineffective and poorly executed.

Shownotes Transcript

Today on the Matt Walsh show, Pete Hegseth endured a barrage of nagging and screeching during his confirmation hearing on Tuesday. Much of the discussion centered around the question of whether women in the military are held to a lower standard, but there isn’t actually any question about it—they are. Also, looters are descending on the opulent estates of Hollywood celebrities who evacuated because of the wildfires. And now, those celebrities have suddenly come to the revelation that looting is bad. Plus, Mel Gibson has a fascinating conversation with Joe Rogan. And, it turns out I was right about the latest viral outrage, this one centering around a dispute between fans of opposing teams at a football game.
