Just to note, to the point of how unpopular it is, the Washington Post is out with a poll today showing Americans reject Donald Trump's planned ballroom, I believe, by a two-to-one margin, Dan.

Reason, financial, politics, reason, law, none of it will stand in the way of this ballroom.

You know, I love these Hill hearings.

You do?

Well, just because they were, I mean, if you needed any more evidence that this is a group of idiots and stooges and corrupt actors who populate the president's cabinet.

Clowns, if you will, to tie it all back together again.

And by the way, it's like, it's a curse.

actually going up to the hill.

Because you see who's gone up, and, like, they've been summarily dismissed shortly thereafter.

And Hegseth is always on thin ice, right?

I mean, Bondi, Gnome, now Hegseth.

Amazing that this is the first testimony that he's given in the 60 days of this war, near 60 days of this war.

I was struck by his impertinence.

I mean...

Duh, but it is so galling in a moment when a war is being conducted at the expense of the American taxpayer in America's name and is killing American service members.

The idea that you as a Secretary of Defense would go up there and have an attitude towards lines of questioning about how much the war cost, that you wouldn't be transparent about how American lives have been lost and would just offhandedly mention that there was a 14th casualty as if that wasn't a big deal, a 14th American casualty, I should say.

And just utterly, you know, refuse to recognize that the people who decide whether any of this is worth it, the people who decide whether they want to pay for it are not the Secretary of War, not the Secretary of Defense.

It's the American people.

And these are their elected representatives asking legitimate lines of questions about this.

what's happening.
