Contributing sentiments towards policy:

82% : In October 2017, Trump invited Hegseth and Rauchet to dinner at the White House - a very vivid demonstration that Trump was a loyal Fox viewer and schmoozer.
55% : When Trump said in a Fox interview that "you can't have 'woke' military," Hegseth said, "he's exactly right.""The Pentagon likes to say 'our diversity is our strength.'
55% : His co-hosts felt like he was putting on a show specifically for Trump.
45% : When Fox projected Trump to be president-elect, Hegseth donned a red hat and pumped his fist in the air.
36% : His relationship with the network suddenly ended on Tuesday after Trump made the Defense Secretary announcement.
32% : I reported in "Hoax" that Hegseth would sometimes peek at his phone during commercial breaks, looking to see if Trump had picked up on something he'd said on air.
