During an appearance on MSNBC on Saturday morning, former Naval War College professor, and current columnist for the Atlantic, Tom Nichols implored Republicans to look elsewhere for a replacement for Donald Trump's choice to be the next secretary of defense.

Speaking with host Ali Velshi, Nichols made the case that Fox News personality Pete Hegseth is fooling himself and everyone else by claiming he can handle the the job because he lacks the experience and character to make sound decisions and advise the president.

"Yes, he was a major in the Army," Nichols conceded. "I taught at the Naval War College. I taught dozens and dozens of young majors and they are fine men and women, but that doesn't make him qualified to be advising the president in the middle of a crisis or potentially even a nuclear crisis."

"The secretary of defense is a job that that is always reserved for someone who can meet both the intellectual experience and character standards that's required to be at the top of the Pentagon," he continued before later adding, "There's a real threat of real bad things happening in the world for which we need the people who have the best and most sober judgment and the most sober temperament –– and I don't mean that as a pun on the allegations of drinking."

"I mean a level and steady temperament," he elaborated. "And I don't think there's any evidence of that with Pete Hegseth who, again, other than having served in the military and been a morning talk show host and has no business being secretary of defense."

He then predicted, "I'm uncomfortable with the civilian/military relationship where the president calls the Pentagon and the secretary of defense says, ''We're not going to do that,' or in this case the secretary of defense says, 'Sure, whatever you want to do, Mr. President."

"This is really bad in every way, and I hope that some somehow sanity prevails here," he added.

Watch: KISS OF LIFE’s Belle & Shim Sin, STAYC’s Sieun & Park Nam Jung, BIBI & tripleS’s NaKyoung Show Off Family Ties In “Knowing Bros” Preview

Watch: KISS OF LIFE’s Belle & Shim Sin, STAYC’s Sieun & Park Nam Jung, BIBI & tripleS’s NaKyoung Show Off Family Ties In “Knowing Bros” Preview

Get ready for a special family-themed episode of JTBC’s “Knowing Bros” (“Ask Us Anything”)! On January 18, the popular variety show aired a sneak peek of its upcoming Lunar New Year special, which will feature three celebrity family duos as guests. KISS OF LIFE’s Belle and STAYC’s Sieun will appear together with their respective fathers Shim Sin and Park Nam Jung, both of whom are legendary singers in Korea. Sisters BIBI and tripleS’s NaKyoung will also be guesting on the show together. In the newly released preview, Sieun dances with Park Nam Jung to his iconic hit “Dreaming of You,” which is famous for its choreography. Meanwhile, Shim Sin sings KISS OF LIFE’s hit song “Sticky” together in a special duet with Belle. After BIBI enviously says she wishes she were Park Nam Jung’s or Shim Sin’s daughter, she remarks that she and sister NaKyoung didn’t fight much while they were growing up. However, NaKyoung swiftly begs to differ, insisting they fought a lot. Later, the two siblings playfully sing Block B’s “Nillili Mambo” together. The guests and “Knowing Bros” cast members then don hanbok (traditional Korean clothing) to play a guessing game together. When Sieun argues with her dad over a story about an amusement park trip, Lee Sang Min—who doesn’t have children of his own—woefully shares, “I want to argue with my daughter too.” Finally, the preview ends with a brief glimpse of Sieun and Park Nam Jung performing “A Whole New World” from the “Aladdin” soundtrack together. Check out the full preview below! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5mR_4AKcpo “Knowing Bros” airs on Saturdays at 8:50 p.m. KST.
