07/22/26 Hat In Hand Hegseth

from Brett Breaks Things

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth went before Congress hat in hand, asking lawmakers to keep funding a war he insists is already a success—while struggling to provide straight answers about its cost, strategy, legal authority, or endgame. We break down the bipartisan grilling, Hegseth's contradictory claims about Iran's military and surrender, and the Pentagon's admission that the war has already cost $37.5 billion and is rapidly draining its budget. Plus, while warning about Iran's nuclear ambitions, the Trump administration approves a deal that could allow Saudi Arabia to enrich uranium.
