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

Jim Justice (R-WV) was sworn into the Senate on Tuesday after delaying his arrival on Capitol Hill to finish out his term as West Virginia governor. His swearing-in gives the upper chamber 99 members: 52 Republicans and 47 Democrats, with one vacancy resulting from Vice President-elect JD Vance’s (R-OH) resignation ahead of Inauguration Day. Sen. Justice delayed being sworn in to prevent a scenario in which the state would have had four governors over a span of two weeks due to state law that would have made the state senate’s president and his successor interim governors. Republican Patrick Morrisey, the former West Virginia attorney general, was sworn in as the new governor on Monday. Watch more at c-span.org #jimjustice #senate #cspan

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), the president-elect’s pick for secretary of State, pledged to promote “peace abroad and security and prosperity at home” during his confirmation hearing Wednesday. “How can America promote the cause of peace on earth if it is not safe at home?” he posed in his opening statement before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. The senator criticized the “bipartisan consensus” on the world order based on free-market capitalism that took hold in the 1990s, calling it a “dangerous delusion” that hurt the middle class. “Here in America, and in many of the advanced economies across the world, an almost religious commitment to free and unfettered trade at the expense of our national economy shrunk the middle class, left the working class in crisis, collapsed our industrial capacity, and has pushed critical supply chains into the hands of adversaries and of rivals,” he told his colleagues. He specifically took aim at China, saying it took advantage of that new order by ignoring its obligations and instead “repressed and lied and cheated and hacked and stolen their way into global superpower status.” “The post-war global order is not just obsolete; it is now a weapon being used against us,” he said. “And all this has led to a moment in which we must now confront the single greatest risk of geopolitical instability and of generational global crisis in the lifetime of anyone alive and in this room today.” Watch more at c-span.org #marcorubio #statedepartment #secretaryofstate #senate #cspan

Scott Turner, the president-elect’s choice to be Housing and Urban Development (HUD) secretary, spoke about the need to address homelessness and housing affordability during his confirmation hearing Thursday. Mr. Turner, a former Texas legislator who worked in the first Trump administration, pointed to the homelessness crisis, noting recent data from HUD that showed homelessness had climbed to record levels in 2023. “HUD, if you will, is failing at its most basic mission — and that has to come to an end,” he said before the Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee. Mr. Turner, also a former NFL defensive back, spoke about growing up in a broken, economically challenged home and said seeing an uncle experience homelessness provided him with a strong understanding of HUD’s mission. “I share my story because I think it’s important for you to know my heart, of who I am, and also because the challenges that HUD faces are vital to our nation as well as personal to me,” he said. “These are not just things I heard about or read about. These are things that my family and I have experienced through the years. I believe that perspective will be very beneficial to HUD as I become the leader, if confirmed by this committee.” The HUD nominee said he would focus on easing regulatory burdens and lowering building costs to get more homes built across America. Senators from both parties agree there is a housing affordability crisis, but there were disagreements about whether HUD should do more with its current budget or if new investments were needed to make homes more attainable.

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
