Defense Budget Hearing: Pete Hegseth and General Dan Kane Discuss FY 2026 Priorities and Global Threats

Published | Video Starts at 20:47

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Secretary, just a quick question to clarify something. Is a full year continuing resolution bad. For the Department of Defense? Just yes or no, sir. A full year continuing resolution is never preferable for any department, especially the Department of Defense. Not preferable. And I know, General Kane, I don't need to ask you because your written testimony specifically says routinely operating under continuing resolutions lowers buying power results and less deployable capital, makes it harder for industry. (20:47–20:54)
