All right, everybody. Right now, Pete Hegseth, our next Secretary of Defense, is being grilled by Angus King. In fact, it looks like it just got thrown over to Senator Rick Scott. Is that correct?
It looks like Senator Scott. I just kind of see it picture in picture. Great job there, guys. Let's see what Senator Scott has to say, and then we'll throw back here, kind of give you an update of this historic hearing. Let's see what Senator Rick Scott has to say.
He was instrumental in 2014 and 2017 in ensuring that veterans had health care choice. The second letter submitted by Mr. Cason Sparrow, Digital Media Director of CBA from 2015 to 2017 stated, Pete brought incredible energy, focus, and a clear vision to the organization and showed everything that the team accomplished together.
And I similarly asked to submit to the record a letter from Paul J. Roberts, retired Colonel, U.S. Army Special Forces, speaking to the unwavering integrity of Mr. Hegseth. Is there objection? Without objection, those three will be admitted. Senator Scott.
First, congratulations on your nomination. Thank you, Senator. And thank you for being willing to serve our nation. I served in the Navy. I'm really proud of my dad. He was crazy. He did all four combat jumps with the 82nd Airborne. He, after that, survived all that and fought in the Battle of the Bulge. And what they went through, it was hell. So I have a lot of respect for him and for everybody that puts on the uniform and serves in battle and has to lead people in battle. Because being on a ship, that didn't happen to me, but I had a lot of friends that happened to him. It clearly happened to my dad. I've served on this committee for six years, two years under President Trump and the past four under President Joe Biden.
I've seen how the Biden-Harris administration pushed the DOD to prioritize wokeness over being the most lethal military force in the world. It's our readiness, our national security, and our ability to recruit people who are willing to put their lives on the line for our country. Can you talk about some of the changes we can make to improve recruitment and rebuild our military into the most lethal force in the world?
First of all, Senator, thank you for the question. Thank you for your time. I think the first and most important thing we could have done is elect Donald Trump as the new commander in chief because past is prologue. Our warfighters understand what kind of commander in chief they're going to get in President Donald Trump, someone who stands behind them, someone who gives them clear missions, someone who ends wars decisively. And the issue of Ukraine was mentioned and ensures new wars are not started.
