Senate voted to confirm Tulsi Gabbard as the new director of national intelligence.
00:00:04.340
The final tally was 52 to 48, with all Democrats voting in opposition, while Senator Mitch
00:00:10.060
McConnell was the only Republican who voted no.
00:00:13.940
In a sharp statement that he released after the vote, the former leader of the Republican
00:00:17.900
Party said this, quote, the Senate's power of advice and consent is not an option.
00:00:24.380
It is an obligation and one we cannot pretend to misunderstand.
00:00:28.560
The nation should not have to worry that the intelligence assessments the president receives
00:00:32.900
are tainted by a director of national intelligence with a history of alarming lapses in judgment.
00:00:38.680
Adding, quote, Edward Snowden's treasonous betrayal of the United States and its most sensitive
00:00:44.020
law intelligence activities endangered sources, methods and lives.
00:00:50.080
Japan is among America's closest treaty allies in the Indo-Pacific and the risk of conflict
00:00:55.480
in the region is the product of Chinese aggression, not Western threat inflation.
00:01:01.980
Russia's escalation of its unprovoked war of aggression against Ukraine threatens American interests
00:01:08.480
and is solely the responsibility of Vladimir Putin.
00:01:12.640
Entrusting the coordination of the intelligence community to someone who struggles to acknowledge
00:01:26.480
Mitch McConnell unplugged, I guess you could say, Katie.
00:01:29.480
I mean, listen, this is somebody who's now voted against Pete Hegseth for defense secretary
00:01:39.740
Kennedy Jr., who, as we all know, we don't need to relitigate the whole thing, but has
00:01:43.580
been skeptical, skeptical, rather, about the efficacy of vaccines.
00:01:47.820
Mitch McConnell, of course, is a polio survivor.
00:01:50.520
I don't know how he's going to come down on that, but he's clearly not encumbered by the
00:01:57.580
He is a Republican and that he needs to vote down the line for the for President Trump.
00:02:02.400
But I mean, listen, the entire rest of the Senate Republican conference to a person is
00:02:09.000
I mean, he has got through after the the Matt Gaetz episode in which he nominated Matt
00:02:18.000
The Trump White House has moved really, really efficiently to get his cabinet in place in,
00:02:22.980
I think, ways that I didn't definitely in ways I didn't expect and a lot of people

00:02:48.760
And that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the saints.
