I mean, these people, after all they know, war crimes, leaking classified information, war plans, after all they've seen with Hegseth, they'd still go with this guy.

I mean, that's why these people are just freaking as pathetic as possible, play this clip.

I want to ask you about the defense secretary, Pete Hexeth.

Just this week, a government watchdog report found that his use of the signal chat put American troops at risk, what he said in that chat.

Lawmakers are continuing to look at his involvement in that double tap strike in the Caribbean on an alleged drug boat.

That's a question I can't answer without as much thoughtful research as I did the first time I did that vote.

Yeah, but you know what the reality of it is?

If you go on what's in the newspapers, it's near impossible to know exactly what's going on.

We heard one day that he had put an order in to kill the survivors.

The next day we're hearing something else, and the next day we're hearing something else.

But I will tell you, I am pleased with Congress's role of oversight.

I think we're doing a really good job of demanding answers and getting answers.

You're having other hearings, and I think Congress really wants to know exactly what's happening and the real facts, not what's reported in the newspaper.

And if you go back to his confirmation, that's what I tried really, really hard to do is like separate out what we're hearing.

Let's get to the real facts and let's make a good decision.

And here's Tom Holm and here's what he has to say as it relates to Donald Trump saying the entire Somalian population is garbage played.

Mr. Homan, the president said very clearly this week that he doesn't want Somali immigrants in America.

He called them garbage.

Is that the real reason this operation is happening in the Somali community?
