National Security Advisor Mike Waltz appeared on Sunday Morning Futures with host Maria Bartiromo, who asked about the possibility of reaching a peace deal in Ukraine even as the Pentagon is in disarray, with five members of senior leadership resigning amid a fierce power struggle between aides to embattled Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

“Can you do this in what appears to be a chaotic, weakened Defense Department?” Bartiromo asked, “Pete Hegseth, of course, our Defense Secretary, has been threatening polygraph tests,” she said. “He's been firing people who we thought were his allies, What is the state of affairs at the Defense Department right now?” Waltz defended the administration's actions, saying that “100 days ago, we were more worried about DEI and climate change nonsense.”
