Summary

This morning we come to you live with Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth's hearing before the House Armed Services Committee. He will attempt to answer questions about the Pentagon's budget but will likely complain, flounder, and become defensive. Also, did you see King Charles' remarks in front of Trump and his minions yesterday? His dry British humour perhaps went over their heads but we have some good clips to show.
