Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) spoke to Brian Kilmeade about her meetings with some of President-elect Donald Trump’s cabinet picks. Capito, who met with Pete Hegseth last week, says she got into questions on his vision for the DOD and a strong military along with some of his personal issues that are in the headlines. Capito feels Hegseth needs to make his case to the Armed Services Committee, adding, Hegseth is working hard on Capitol Hill with one-on-one meetings, which is what he needs to do. On her meeting with Kash Patel, Capito thinks he has a good vision for the FBI but did have questions about some of the inflammatory things in his book. When asked if she is ready to support Patel and Hegseth, Capito said she is leaning yes but wants to wait and let the process move forward, including the FBI background checks. On Tulsi Gabbard, whom Capito hasn’t met with yet, she would like to hear her talk about her position on Syria after the fall of Assad.
Plus, Senator Capito on what the GOP-led Senate can do in 2025 to stop the flow of money being released as part of the Inflation Reduction Act.
