It's Wednesday, January 15th. I'm Jane Koston, and this is Wadaday, the show asking Pete Higgs-F,

Hey, buddy, everything okay?

On today's show, Congress passes legislation banning trans athletes from female school sports teams.

And have you heard of Red Note?

TikTok users are migrating to the Chinese social media app.

But the big story is former Fox News host Pete Higgseth's confirmation hearing for the role of Secretary of Defense.

And while he has two decades of military

experience, he doesn't seem to have the experience needed to lead the largest employer in the United

States. He even made that clear in his opening statement. Now, it is true and has been acknowledged

that I don't have a similar biography to defense secretaries of the last 30 years. But as President

Trump also told me, we've repeatedly placed people atop

the Pentagon with supposedly the right credentials, whether they are retired generals, academics,

or defense contractor executives. And where has it gotten us? He believes, and I humbly agree,

that it's time to give someone with dust on his boots the helm.

Apparently, though, for Republicans, that's fine. Also fine are allegations of sexual assault and

excessive drinking. See, Virginia Democratic Senator Tim Kane had a lot of questions about

Hegss's marital history. I assume that in each of your weddings, you've pledged

to be faithful to your wife. You've taken an oath to do that, haven't you? Senator, as I've

acknowledged to everyone in this committee, not a perfect person, not claiming to be. But now, I just

ask the simple question. You've taken an oath like you would take an oath to be Secretary of Defense

and all of your weddings to be faithful to your wife. Is that correct? I have failed in things in my life, and thankfully, I'm

redeemed by my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Look, the Lord did not ask to get involved here.
