joining us now is democratic senator mark kelly of arizona. ate armed services committee. senator kelly, what i've been noticing in the defense of pete hegseth in response to this affidavit is that senators are getting it wrong. joni ernst, senator joni ernst said the ex-wife has denied the allegations. she has sworn that multiple times. so i think we need to take her at a word. but the ex-wife never said there was physical abuse. and your republican colleagues seem to be leaning on the idea that there was no physical abuse. therefore there was no abuse. but his mother and his former sister in law say the abuse was not physical. it was all those other things that the mother listed. >> yeah, lawrence, that's pretty clear. it was clear to me when we had the his confirmation hearing about ten days ago or so. >> and lawrence. >> there's no job in the federal government that's as serious as being the secretary of defense. i mean, this is the guy that has to wake the president up in the middle of the night and make very quick decisions when something

meanwhile, this was senator mark kelly, the democrat from arizona sharing his concerns about pete hegseths not meeting with any other democrats on the committee other than the ranking member. more information is better. if he wants to be confirmed to do this job, i think it is in our best inference to have everything put out on the table. >> he said he was ready to meet with anybody. we know his confirmation hearing starts tomorrow. what is your preview of that? >> first and foremost, there are words we use all the time and politics. balance of power, checks and balances. that is exactly the purpose of these hearings. this is fundamental to our democracy and our constitution. this is our people chance through the senate to nail every nominee. it doesn't matter what party you are with hard questions. the ones who are able to answer the hard questions are going to get through. the ones who cannot, we all need to say why couldn't answer that question? i have total faith that pete hegseth, kash patel, they are going to be able to answer the hard questions. i want to see those hard questions p

not only about his past, not getting direct answers to questions, i thought senators tim kane and mark kelly did an effective job at getting him to say yes or no answers about his past and also whether he's qualified for the position. in a place where republicans have the majority, it doesn't really matter. >> this is for the role of secretary of defense, beyond the questioning about the sexual assault allegations and women in the military, i kn he was also questioned about president-elect trump's recent comments around taking control of greenland and what did he say? >> the question was really asked by democrats, to see how far hegseth would be willing to go, would he ever pushback against trump, for example, they raised how trump's secretary of defense for a while, have said no when trump asked him to do something that he thought was inappropriate and in this case hegseth replied, president trump would be commander in chief and he would follow his command and i think unlike the nominees and the people who worked around trump in the first administration, something that trump tried to do was

and mark kelly tried to get to that. first of all, tim kaine, did you know he came, you know, loaded with the questions he wanted to ask? he has a son who served in the military. so obviously he takes a lot of this very seriously in terms of the expectations that the expectations we have of our service members should be the same expectations and standards we hold the secretary to. i don't think he was wrong on that, but i thought mark kelly did a little bit of a better job kind of teasing some of that out and trying to get more underneath some of the substance of that question. in terms of, you know, he said, well, you've said you have made mistakes, but you're not willing to tell us what the mistakes are. i thought that was another way to kind of go at that question. and scott, before i let you guys go, did you have any concern about the sort of lack of answers on some of the really important policy issues that he will have to face as defense secretary, or even information about treaties like asean? >> no, i don't have

>> that when mark kelly asked him over and over again, it wasn't no, this is false. >> it was. these are smears. and so sort of no one is denying this. and also who doesn't cheat on their wives before asking for a divorce. i think he actually got the timeline inaccurate wrong in that. but that i think was the essence of it. and it goes to this notion that, like republicans sanction the bad behavior and now are openly, openly embracing it. and it has become sort of like a foundational value in this neo sort of trad family structure that they seem to be embracing. >> i think part of the promise of donald trump, and it wasn't even that much. >> it wasn't even that subtextual was the promise of impunity was the promise that, you know, after the metoo era, we're going to go back to a time where this behavior won't be punished, where it won't be an impediment to your career. >> and so and what's interesting is that on the one hand, you know, pete hegseth is this avatar of christian nationalism from this extremely right wing church. >> but i think the innovation here, the part that ma

senator reed said, you know, it's pretty unusual not to have a second round of questioning because mark kellyed for one, and he said that is a breach of protocol. and roger wicker basically said, thank you. noted. and that's it. that's that's all he had to get through. he doesn't come back for another day. chuck hagel went through three rounds. ashton carter went through. two senators are sent. when a senator asks for this. it should get more than a shrug. but i think everybody just understood he's not qualified. he's got a lot of baggage. get through this four hours and then just, you know, ram him through as quickly as possible. now that may not happen. there may be those four republican votes. i'm not as sanguine as some as you were or ryan are. you know, at this point that he's headed for a nomination, but that may just have been his thinking. just get through it and don't answer these questions. >> yeah. listen, there is a there is time. it's going to be a vote by the full senate. so there might be some republicans who we haven't heard from who have enough reservations putting pete hegse

now, the senator that you just saw questioning hegseth democrat mark kelly of arizona, he sits on thearmed services committee. of course, the center of this decision that is so crucial for this country whether pete hegseth will be the defense secretary for the united states, senator kelly pete hegseth, convince you to vote for him. >> well, erin, i walked into that hearing this morning very concerned about his experience to do the job. defense department is a huge organization, $850 billion a year budget 3 million people. he didn't seem to have the requisite experience to do this. when i walked out of the hearing i have to say i was more concerned about his transparency. he talks about personal issues without specifying what those were. and then, when asked about what i think the personal issues might be, and some of the things he's had to try to overcome, he talks about that these are just smears. and it can't be. you know, it's got to be it can't be both at the same time. so i have significant concerns. i'm going to meet with him tomorrow and talk further
