A lot to cover tonight. Let me just start with this. The worst secretary of defense in history,

and I think that's unquestionable, is having the worst week of his career. And that, my friends,

is saying something. I mean, do you remember how back in March VTex that somehow, somehow

accidentally added a journalist to a group chat on Signal about upcoming military strikes

in Yemen. And I mean, not just any journalist, the editor of the Atlantic who has covered

national security issues forever. Well, tomorrow, the Pentagon Inspector General report on that

incident, on Signalgate, will be released to the public. But today, sources familiar with the

findings of that report told MS now that not only was Hegsa sending of war plans over a commercial

texting app, a breach of Pentagon Protocol, of course it was, it also posed a risk to their

safety of the U.S. personnel involved in the strikes. And that, which is a big deal, is not even the worst thing we are learning about Pete Hegset this week.

Because over the past 24 hours, there have been new developments in Hegset's Venezuelan boat strike scandal.

I mean, last night, Zateo News reporter, that multiple lawyers within the Trump administration

believe the way that

strike was carried out was likely, quote, incredibly illegal. As one Trump administration lawyer

told Zateo, if the Washington Post is right, then a crime was committed. There's lots of questions

about why that lawyer doesn't know more, but maybe we'll learn more about why they don't know more.

So there is quite a lot. Here's my point. There's quite a lot of any journalist, any journalist at all, might want to

ask Secretary Hegseth about right now. He is literally at the center of many of the biggest

scandals that have lots of questions surrounding them in Washington right now, which is why it is

so notable that today, when the new Pentagon press corps got to meet

Secretary Heggseth himself and asked him anything they wanted at all, they seemed to have

not actually made any real news at all.
