STEVE DOOCY (CO-HOST): Pete, that's what they wanted to hear. They wanted to hear that there's going to be a Republican in the big chair at the White House in four years.
PETE HEGSETH (FOX & FRIENDS WEEKEND CO-HOST): Yeah. He went on to say, I think right after that, “we may just have to beat them for the third time" --
DOOCY: Right.
HEGSETH: -- an allusion to 2016 and 2020. He talked a lot about the border --
DOOCY: Because he won last time -- they just took it away from him.
HEGSETH: There you go, exactly. Everyone in the crowd got it right away.
