Bonus Episode: Lunch Hour – Hegseth Grilled, Truth Unravels
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth faces his first major congressional showdown since the war in Iran began—and it gets heated fast. Lawmakers press him on the skyrocketing cost of the conflict, lack of clear strategy, and whether the American public has been misled from the start.
As tensions rise inside the hearing room, Hegseth doubles down, clashing with critics while dodging key questions. But when pressed on specifics, contradictions begin to surface—raising a bigger question: was this war sold on shaky facts?
