Ryan Nobles, NBC News Capitol Hill Correspondent and Courtney Kube, NBC News National Security Correspondent join Nicolle Wallace on Deadline White House with reaction to two breaking news stories involving Pete Hegseth, Donald Trump’s nominee for Secretary of Defense. The first detailing that Republican Senators, as many as 6 have serious reservations about giving him a yes vote, and the second detailing his drinking habits at his previous employer Fox News.

1. Time for Hegseth to call Gaetz for advice.

4. Maybe Hegseth and Gaetz could Co-Secretary of Defense.

When Hegseth needed time off for his drunken stupor late night party benders - Gaetz could cover.

And when Gaetz needed personal time for drugs and under aged girls sex parties - Hegseth could cover.

Both men's extracurricular pursuits would not be inconvenienced or hampered by their job.

Party on boys,... the world is a massive Fascist frat-boy party house for your joy and entertainments.

2. Silly question: Does the Trump team do any vetting of these people they are nominating?

Do they have any idea who these people are?

3. "Do they have any idea who these people are?"

Of course they do.

It exhibits the right’s contempt for sound, responsible governance.

Trump is pandering to his ‘burn it all down’ Cult members – what better way to do that but with the likes of Hegseth.
