Pete Hegseth: “When we spend dollars, we need to know where they're going and why, and that has not existed at the defence department.”

We are committed in working with Congress to get $1.5 trillion. But this is not the same way we’ve funded our department in the past.

Shame on you and others who call this a quagmire and a failure, and then you want to turn around and say you support the warfighter. Either you do or you don't.

Training right now and training in the future that would have to be curtailed if we do not get our budget needs met, and met urgently.

We make sure that every ship, every crew, every captain has everything we can provide them at every single moment.
