As promised, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Dan Kean testifying now before the Senate Appropriations Committee. Let's listen.
>> immediate needs of our department.
The supplemental funding request is not a substitute for the President's full $1.5 trillion base budget request.
$1.5 trillion.
>> Mr. Secretary, please suspend until order is restored in the hearing room. We will begin the timing clock since you've been interrupted twice.
>> Thank you. >> Please proceed.
>> $1.5 trillion is what the President seeks and what we need to defend the country.
The members of this committee understand better than most that long-term strategic dominance cannot be funded through one-off supplementals.
>> We will have order in the hearing room.
Mr. Secretary, please proceed.
>> Collectively, the budget proposals submitted under President Trump follow a simple logic.
>> I would ask that the Capitol Police, whose professionalism I admire, would remove those who are seeking to disrupt the hearing.
Please proceed.
>> President Trump's following a simple logic. The military requires a generational investment to deliver on peace through strength.
We know the best way to create peace is to prepare for war, to deter it.
And that's exactly what the Department of War is doing, building a force so capable that it would have been absurd for anyone to challenge it.
As the direct result of neglected priorities and and gross negligence that ignored threats left over from the previous administration, President Trump inherited a set of global and domestic crises.
Deferred maintenance almost across the board.
Instead of steering the ship through gathering storms, former leaders let our military languish through social experiments and globalist appeasement.
Sheer weakness.
Under President Trump, we have built a different type of department.
The Pentagon is no longer run by bureaucrats. Instead, it's led by combat-tested veterans and world-class business leaders who are running the department like a business.
And tech titans who are bringing lethal innovation to the battlefield.
We're also at a different moment, and we cannot afford inaction. If we don't make critical investments right now in tech, in compute, in AI, in autonomy, in space, our adversaries who are already making these types of investments could outpace us.
>> [snorts] >> Without these funds, we face critical shortfalls that threaten our ability to also simply pay our service members,
rapidly replenish equipment and munitions, and sustain vital operations without disruption.
This supplemental request serves two purposes.
Sustain our military readiness to meet this year's new demands and accelerate critical capabilities to replace and augment those we have used in contingencies.
But, make no mistake, this is not a one-for-one replacement.
We are upgrading and we are modernizing across the force.
On the readiness front, we requested $21 billion.
This will fund military pay, replace much of equipment utilized during recent operations, sustain forward-deployed forces, and grow personnel and strength while stabilizing mission-critical fuel shortfalls, and supporting the National Guard.
On the capability side, we requested $46 billion.
These funds will expand production lines and accelerate delivery of high-demand
