Summary
Buck Sexton is joined by OAN Pentagon correspondent Gabrielle Cuccia to discuss major shifts underway at the Department of Defense. They break down the latest Pentagon initiatives under Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and Undersecretary Sean Parnell, including efforts to eliminate DEI policies, refocus on military readiness, and conduct long-overdue audits. Cuccia provides insight into how these changes are being received inside the Pentagon, the ongoing fallout from the Afghanistan withdrawal, and the military’s increasing role in securing the southern border.
