Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville doesn\\u2019t appear bothered by criticism from those who say his blocking of military promotions over a Defense Department policy relating to abortion funding is \\u201cunprecedented.\\u201d

\\u201cI don\\u2019t care what they say. I was an elected senator from the state of Alabama,\\u201d says Tuberville, who won his Senate seat in November 2020. 

\\u201cAgain, if I was affecting readiness \\u2026 I do truly believe in our military and the things that we knew to be prepared. We\\u2019re as prepared now as we were last March, when I started this. It\\u2019s not affecting readiness at all,\\u201d Tuberville says, adding: 

I\\u2019ve had military personnel call me. I\\u2019ve had veterans. I had a letter from 5,000 veterans that said, \\u201cWe\\u2019re all behind you, Coach. Keep on doing this. We do not need a woke military.\\u201d

Tuberville joins today\\u2019s episode of \\u201cThe Daily Signal Podcast\\u201d to discuss why he\\u2019s against the Defense Department policy on abortion and his subsequent efforts to block military promotions; whether he has spoken with anyone at the Pentagon about the policy; and Title IX as it relates to biological males taking part in girls\\u2019 and women\\u2019s athletics.
