How is the FDA addressing artificial food dyes?
Mr. Hegseth telling Fox News the attacks against him will not prevent the administration from accomplishing badly needed reforms within the Pentagon.
They've come after me from day one. just like they've come after President Trump. I mean, I've gotten a fraction of what President Trump got in that first term. What he's endured is superhuman. It's not hard for me to do this job. I know exactly why I'm here, to bring warfighting and the warfighting ethos back to the Pentagon, to rip out the insidious ideologies and not compromise and not back down. to bring in new press voices into the Pentagon, which we've done, to reestablish standards and accountability, to not tolerate leakers, to 100 percent operational control of our border, to get rid of trans lunacy in the military. We haven't backed down. So here's the thing. A lot of people come to Washington and they just play the game.
And it's you punch their ticket and get along to go along and, you know, start doing meet the press and and go into the Council on Foreign Relations and spending time with all the new cocktail sipping crowd. That's not why I'm here. I'm here because President Trump asked me to bring warfighting back to the Pentagon every single day. Right. That is our focus.
The Pentagon currently conducting an investigation into a series of leaks, including military plans relating to the Panama Canal and a planned briefing for Elon Musk allegedly regarding China and Ukraine. Amid preliminary results of the Pentagon's investigation, three of Secretary Hegseth's top aides fired and escorted out of the building on Friday. One aide, Senior Advisor Dan Caldwell, a longtime friend of Secretary Hegseth's, going back to Mr. Hegseth's work at Concerned Veterans for America. Mr. Caldwell telling Tucker Carlson on Monday he believes he was fired not for leaking, but because he opposes military intervention with Iran.
There are obviously specifics I can't get into, but I think it is fair to say that a war with Iran risks... being incredibly costly in terms of lives and dollars and instability in the Middle East. Lives and dollars, American lives, American dollars.
