I want to dive right into it. Joining us right off of the top is Senator Mark Wayne Mullen, friend of mine, and we want to get into the news of the day. There's a lot that we need to cover, including Pete Hegseth. Pete Hegseth is a friend of both of ours who's under relentless assault, even though recruitment is up and procurement is in the right direction and military exercises are up and war games are up. And the woke stuff is gone. Pete Hegseth, by all objective outside measurements, is succeeding.
And despite that, he is under merciless assault. Senator Mark Wayne Mullen is with us now. Senator, great to see you. Thank you for taking the time. I believe Pete Hegseth is doing a great job. No one liked what happened with the Signalgate situation. To blame that all on Pete is outrageous and wrong. In fact, that is a sloppy and very shallow and politically motivated analysis. What's going on with our friend Pete Hegseth? What is the latest? And what are your Senate colleagues saying? Senator, thank you.
I'll tell you, the Senate Republican GOP is standing solid behind Pete. We understand this is this attack, another character assassination, trying to get rid of a guy because he's daring to challenge status quo. He's made some big changes inside DOD, and we know they needed to be made. And so since he's ruffling feathers, he's also made some enemies throughout the media and obviously throughout the Democrat Party. I will tell you, our support hasn't changed.

They became very risk adverse and tried to play politics. You can't win wars and you can't deter our enemies. by playing politics. And Pete is restoring the DOD's mission. And that hasn't changed.
We're going to stand strong with him no matter what type of onslaught and slander the media and the left want to throw at him.
And I want to just I want to dive deeper, though. I mean, how are your Senate colleagues thinking about this? It's no surprise that he had a tough confirmation fight, and I'm glad he survived it. And thank you for being a champion of that. Are there are there murmurs about this on Capitol Hill? How are the Senate? Let's just say old bulls thinking about Pete Hegseth's job right now. And what should our audience be aware of?
Well, I would tell you the majority of the GOPs is solidly behind him. I will say that we're having – and I don't want to talk about this one person by name, Charlie. I want to be very respectful because we have a meeting Monday afternoon when I get there in his office. But we have one member on the SASC, which is the Senate Committee on Armed Services,
