SLOTKIN: If the president asks you to seize ballots or voting machines in states during the 2026 election, will you stand up for the Constitution and say 'no,' or will you salute and do his bidding? HEGSETH: It's yet another gotcha hypothetical, which is your speciality SLOTKIN: It's not a hypothetical. The guy you're performing for right now says he wishes he signed that executive order in 2020 for your predecessor! HEGSETH: You're performing for cable news right now. By the way, in 2024, 15 states did deploy troops to polling stations SLOTKIN: Under their governor's authority!

🚨 Senate Armed Services Committee hearing just delivered this exchange: Sen. Sen. Elissa Slotkin pressed SecDef Pete Hegseth: “If the President asks you to deploy the uniform military to our polls to collect voter rolls or machines in 2026… will you stand up for the Constitution and say no, or will you salute and do his bidding?” Hegseth called it a “gotcha hypothetical.” Slotkin fired back: “Dude, just answer the question. It’s not hypothetical. It’s never been done in our history.” The same hearing also covered the war in Iran and Pentagon priorities.

WOW! Sen. Elissa Slotkin just completely eviscerated Pete Hegseth for refusing to say he will not send the U.S. military to polling places to collect ballots or voting machines. This exchange is telling... Senator Slotkin: “If President Trump asks you to seize ballots or voting machines in states during the 2026 election, will you stand up for the Constitution and say ‘no,’ or will you salute and do his bidding.” Hegseth: “I didn’t get a chance to address your front part of your question.” Slotkin: “Just address the election issues. Please.” Hegseth: “It’s just another gotcha hypothetical.” Slotkin: “It’s not a hypothetical. You give that answer all the time. You and I have done this dance before. Get over it, OK? What are you going to do? You are the guy in the seat. Tell the American people.” Hegseth: “Are you accusing me of performing, because you are performing for cable news.”

I asked Secretary Hegseth if he would deploy the uniform military to our polls to collect voter rolls or machines. It wasn’t a hypothetical question, it was based on an executive order President Trump drafted but didn’t sign in 2020. He refused to answer.

Sen. Elissa Slotkin says she still has not heard back from Defense Secy. Hegseth after asking him to confirm troops will not be sent to polling locations during the midterms: “I just wanted them to very clearly articulate that ‘no, if I’m asked to send uniformed military into a place like Detroit to collect voting machines, ballots… I’m going to stand up.’ And we have heard nothing…”

It was a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing this past June. Senator Elissa Slotkin pressed Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on whether he authorized troops sent to Los Angeles to detain or arrest protesters during immigration enforcement actions. She got frustrated with his answers and said, “Be a man, list it out. Did you authorize them to detain or arrest?” Elise Slotkin is a typical liberal lunatic and hated among Michiganders. Her bragging of a CIA background only enhances her image of a participant in corrupt government politics. Hegseth said the troops were there to protect ICE officers doing deportations of people who came in under the previous administration, not to arrest U.S. citizens. The exchange got pretty heated.

Pete Hegseth calmly dismantles Ro Khanna's hysteria, reminding him who actually wrecked the economy: Ro Khanna: "Do you know how much it will cost Americans in terms of their increased costs in gas and food because of the Iran war?" Pete Hegseth: "I would simply ask you what the cost is of an Iranian nuclear bomb. Playing gotcha questions-" Khanna: "You're saying it's a gotcha question to ask?!...I give you that, sir." Hegseth: "What would pay to ensure Iran doesn't have a nuclear bomb?" Khanna: "I reclaim my time...Would you acknowledge the economic cost?" Hegseth: "We have an incredible economic team that's managing this better...I mean, what the previous administration did to our economy, what the previous administration did for the inflation, what the previous administration did with Covid, and you're going to lecture this administraiton about the economy? INCREDIBLE." Khanna: "But! But! YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW!!!"

Coons: Our president said that we never asked for and never received anything from our NATO allies. Was that your experience in Afghanistan? Hegseth: I've written extensively about that, and the vast majority of my experience was frustration with the limits of what those troops were able to do because of the political caveats, rules of engagement limits that came from there. Coons: But you don't doubt or question that about a third of all the combat casualties in our war in Afghanistan were our NATO partners and allies? Hegseth: I would have to go back and check that number

Senator Senator Mark Kelly asks Pete Hegseth if he stands by his statement that he would provide no quarter and no mercy to the enemy. Hegseth refuses to answer a simple “yes” or “no” question. Senator Kelly: “I’m going to give you one more chance to address a question here… Your quote was ‘we will keep on pushing, keep advancing, no quarter, no mercy for our enemies,’ and yesterday you did not clarify if you stand by this statement.” Hegseth: [non-answer] Senator Kelly: “You are the Secretary of Defense. The things you say matter and your response here, right now, makes it clear to the American people exactly why you are not right for this job.”

Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA): “Will [Iran] put tolls on the Strait?” General Dan Razin Caine: “I don’t know, sir, that’s a decision that’s a hypothetical and will depend on what happens in the future.” John Kennedy: “This is as serious as four heart attacks and a stroke… Oh, it’s not hypothetical. We come home, it’s not going to be hypothetical. You know that, Genera;, and I do too. And I appreciate your discretion, but we’re down to it. We need some hard answers and some straight talk.” War Secretary Pete Hegseth: “The likely outcome is they would try to impose their will on the on the waterways in ways that the world would not like.” John Kennedy: “Would they toll?” Pete Hegseth: “Call it a toll, call it a fee, call it an exchange, call it it control. They would do something that would try to hold that issue, yes, sir.” John Kennedy: “Would they try to commence development again of a nuclear warhead?” Pete Hegseth: “Part of the reason President [Donald] Trump had to have the courage to do what he did after Midnight Hammer is that they didn’t give up their ambitions even though their nuclear sites had been obliterated. So this is a regime hell-bent on nuclear ambitions and —” John Kennedy: “Guys, we need straight answers. We need straight answers. Do we have the ability to destroy whatever is underneath Pickaxe Mountain?” Pete Hegseth: “Senator, a lot of our capabilities are classified, but if anybody in the world can reach anything on God’s green Earth, it’s the United States military, the most powerful military in the word. It’s all about options and trade-offs.”

Kelly: Now Pete Hegseth wants even our longest serving military veterans to live with the constant threat that they could be deprived of their rank and retirement pay years, or even decades, after they leave the military, just because he or another secretary of defense or a president doesn't like what they've said. If Pete Hegseth succeeds in silencing me, then he and every other secretary of defense who comes after him will have license to punish any retired veteran of any political persuasion for the things that they say. And by that logic, a 100-year-old World War II veterans could be hauled in and censured or court-martialed because he says something that Pete Hegseth disagrees with. That's wrong. It's not the way things work in the United States of America, and I will not stand for it, because our freedom of speech, the separation of powers, and due process are not just words on a page. They are core principles of our democracy
