Hey, I'm Ryan Reynolds. Recently, I asked Mint Mobile's legal team if big wireless companies are allowed to raise prices due to inflation. They said yes.

So to recap, we're cutting the price of Mint Unlimited from $30 a month to just $15 a month. Give it a try at mintmobile.com slash switch.

to include 5,000 National Guardsmen from Indiana and Texas who are at the border right now allowing for border security.
So there is plenty of precedent for military members enforcing our southern border. Our U.S. military is not trained in law enforcement roles. I think you know that, right? We've seen how that mission is difficult for them in places like Iraq and Afghanistan because that's not the training a uniformed military comes with. Do you support the use of active duty military in supporting detention camps?
Senator, everything we will do would be lawful and under the Constitution, but I recognize that this administration has advocated its responsibility. President Trump is going to restore order at the border, prevent our enemies from invading, and yes, he has said, mass deportation will be a part of what happens.
That was Democratic Senator Slotkin grilling Pete Hegseth before the Senate Armed Services confirmation hearing regarding Donald Trump's nomination of Pete Hegseth to be the Secretary of Defense. Pete Hegseth has never commanded any significant group of people. He's never led an organization there have been credible accusations against him of a sexual assault in the past where he signed non-disclosure agreements and entered into a settlement agreement there have been credible accusations about him abusing alcohol and doing so in public as well Let's take you into the hearing. I want to show you some of the highlights, or I should say the lowlights, as it relates to Hegseth. Here, Democratic Senator Tim Kaine talks about some of the allegations against Pete Hegseth. Let's play it.
Do you have nondisclosure agreements with either of those organizations? Not that I'm aware of, Senator. Many of your work colleagues have said that you show up for work under the influence of alcohol or drunk. I know you've denied that, but you would agree with me, right, that if that was the case, that would be disqualifying for somebody to be Secretary of Defense.
Senator, those are all anonymous false claims, and the totality- They're not anonymous. The letters on the record here- They're not anonymous. On the record, people who work with me at- Vets for Freedom, Concerned Vets for America, and Fox News attributed to me working hard every day on behalf of my mission.
One of your colleagues said that you got drunk at an event at a bar and chanted, kill all Muslims. Another colleague, not anonymous, we have this, said that you took coworkers to a strip club. You were drunk. You tried to dance with strippers. You had to be held off the stage. And one of your employees in that bar event filed a sexual harassment charge as a result of it. Now, I know you deny these things, but isn't that the kind of behavior that, if true, would be disqualifying for somebody to be secretary of defense?
And here, Tim Kaine, Senator Kaine, grills Pete Hegseth, drilling down on the fact that this incident that took place at the hotel for which you signed a nondisclosure agreement, you still admitted that you had sexual relations, did you not? Here, play this clip.
