Sen. Jack Reed (D-RI), the ranking member of the Armed Services Committee, on Tuesday said he could not support former Fox News host Pete Hegseth to be the next Defense secretary. “Mr. Hegseth, I do not believe that you are qualified to meet the overwhelming demands of this job,” Sen. Reed said in his opening statement at Mr. Hegseth’s confirmation hearing. Sen. Reed cited allegations lodged against Mr. Hegseth, a former Army National Guard officer, of sexual misconduct, excessive drinking, and financial mismanagement, among others. “I have voted in favor of all your predecessors, including those in the first Trump administration,” he said. “Unfortunately, you lack the character and composure and competence to hold the position of secretary of Defense.” Watch more at c-span.org #petehegseth #pentagon #dod #senate #cspan

Vice President JD Vance on Friday night cast the tiebreaking vote to confirm Pete Hegseth as Defense secretary after senators deadlocked 50–50 on the nomination. The VP was needed after Mr. Hegseth lost the support of three Republicans: Sens. Susan Collins (ME), Lisa Murkowski (AK) and Mitch McConnell (KY), the former Republican leader. It’s only the second time in history a vice president has been needed to break a tie on a cabinet secretary. The first occurred in 2017 when then-Vice President Mike Pence was brought in to confirm Betsy DeVos as Education secretary.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth arrived at the Pentagon on Monday, beginning his first official day at the helm of the government’s largest department. “It’s an honor to be here. It’s an honor to serve on behalf of the president and serve on behalf of the country. It’s an amazing job,” the new secretary told reporters upon his arrival. Secretary Hegseth said he would work to swiftly implement forthcoming executive orders from President Trump to bar transgender people from serving in the military; eliminate diversity, equity and inclusion programs; and reinstate service members who were discharged for refusing to get the COVID vaccine. “It’s an honor to salute smartly, as I did as a junior officer and now as the secretary of Defense, to ensure these orders are complied with rapidly and quickly,” he said. “We’re going to hold people accountable. I know the chairman agrees with that. The lawful orders of the president of the United States will be executed inside this Defense Department swiftly and without excuse.” The new Pentagon chief also spoke about President Trump’s directives to use the military to help secure the southern border, deport migrants and go after cartels. “He’s made it very clear there’s an emergency at the southern border,” Secretary Hegseth said. “The protection of the sovereign territory of the United States is the job of the Defense Department, and the cartels are foreign terrorist organizations.” “As a result, this Pentagon snapped to last week. We helped move forward troops, put in more barriers, and also to ensure mass deportations — support of mass deportations in support of the president’s objective. That is something the Defense Department absolutely will continue to do.” Secretary Hegseth also gave Gen. Charles “CQ” Brown, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, a vote of confidence, indicating he would not fire him. “Standing with him right now. Look forward to working with him,” the secretary said when asked whether he would dismiss the chairman as he previously indicated in November.

Pete Hegseth, the president-elect’s nominee to lead the Pentagon, promised Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA), an Iraq War veteran, that women would be able to continue to serve in combat roles if they’re able to meet “high” standards. “Yes, women will have access to ground combat roles given the standards remain high. And we’ll have a review to ensure the standards have not been eroded in any one of these cases,” said Mr. Hegseth, an Army veteran and former Fox News host. “That’ll be part of one of the first things we do at the Pentagon, is reviewing that in a gender-neutral way. The standards of readiness and meritocracy is front and center.” Mr. Hegseth said in early November, before he was nominated, that women should not serve in combat roles. “It hasn’t made us more effective. Hasn’t made us more lethal. Has made fighting more complicated,” he said on a podcast. Watch more at c-span.org #petehegseth #joniernst #pentagon #dod #troops #senate #cspan

Pete Hegseth, the president-elect’s Defense secretary nominee, called himself a “change agent” who would bring a “warrior culture” to the Pentagon during his confirmation hearing Tuesday. “As President Trump also told me, we’ve repeatedly placed people atop the Pentagon with supposedly ‘the right credentials’ — whether they are retired generals, academics, or defense contractor executives — and where has it gotten us?” he said in his opening statement. “He believes, and I humbly agree, that it’s time to give someone with dust on his boots the helm.” Mr. Hegseth, a former Army National Guard officer, highlighted his combat experience, describing how he dodged improvised explosive devices, “heard bullets whiz by” and “pulled out dead bodies.” “This is not academic for me. This is my life,” he said. “I led then, and I will lead now.” Watch more at c-span.org #petehegseth #pentagon #dod #senate #cspan
