"You can call it loud and wrong. You're entitled to your opinion. I don't give a damn what Pete Hegseth has to say. He was never qualified for the job. When you talk about DEI and eradicating that excuse me what was he doing hosting Fox News on the weekend and all of a sudden he's the Defense secretary. Please. Give me a break! Let me get that out the way."
"When I was talking about Mark Kelly, it was military. What I did was get on the phone with family and friends who have served in the military and I said, We're not civilians. This is not the court of law. You can be implicated for implying something if you are a former military member or you are a present military member."
Co-hosts confronted Stephen A. Smith over his tirade about Senator Mark Kelly, a retired Navy captain and astronaut, after Kelly appeared in a video about troops refusing illegal orders. Smith refused to change his position, dismissing Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's comments and questioning Hegseth's qualifications. Smith said he consulted military family and friends and emphasized differences between civilian commentary and military context, warning that former or current service members could be implicated by such statements. Co-hosts cited the military code allowing refusal of unlawful orders and pressed Smith on the accuracy and implications of his criticism.
