military promotions by senator tuberville. what does this say about u.s. military readiness? would you talk with tuberville to work out a solution? i would be willing to talk to him if i thought there was any chance of him changing this ridiculous position. i expect the republican party to stand up and do something about it. it s within their power to do that. the idea that we don t have a chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, the idea that we have all these promotions and we don t know what s going to happen, the idea that we re injecting into fundamental foreign policy decisions what, in fact, is a domestic social debate is bizarre. i don t ever recall that happening, ever. it s totally irresponsible in my view. i just think that i mean, i m confident that the mainstream of the republican party no longer does not support what he s doing, but they got to stand up and be counted. that s how it ends. reporter: you ve been working on fortifying the fence along the bord
