Where I don't have a lot of confidence is in the secretary of defense and what he has done to this department. Firing JAG officers, firing inspectors general. He's decimated it, firing people in the leadership of DoD just because of the color of their skin or if they were a woman. So I have about zero confidence in the secretary of Defense. I have tremendous confidence in the chairman of the Armed Services Committee. (33:41–33:53)
