Michelle Martin

Good morning.

So, you know, Mara, we've heard Trump target immigrant groups before from the first day of his first campaign for president, in fact, but calling an entire community of people garbage.

I mean, is there something different here?

So let me just say here that there's no evidence that what he said is accurate.

But having said that, what do you think he gains from this?

Could it be that he's also lashing out because he's frustrated?

I mean, his approval ratings are low.

He has not achieved a number of the things that he claimed he was going to achieve, including peace in Ukraine, etc.

And I just wonder if this part of the way he reacts to situations where he's not doing well.

So we don't know whether this is going to continue.

As we mentioned, this has gone on for a couple of days now.

The president is meeting with some African leaders today.

How do you think that's going to go?

At the start of this week, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth faced intense scrutiny over a U.S.

attack on an alleged drug boat in the Caribbean.

And here, National Security Correspondent Greg Myrie is covering this, and he's with us now.

Good morning, Greg, to you.

So where is this new report coming from?

And would you remind us who was Hegseth sharing this information with?

Did the Pentagon's Inspector General speak to Hegseth?
