Pete Hegseth MELTS DOWN as Iran War Costs EXPLODE and Bleeds Billions
What was said
"You sir are the failure will showers leadership. When will you show why don't you show some leadership and stand up to your fellow Democrats who won't fund the troops who stand and play partisan politics while you don't give us the money."
The hosts play and discuss a heated exchange from a Senate hearing in which US defence secretary Pete Hegseth accuses Senator Gary Peters of “failure” and blames Democrats for not funding the Pentagon. Jessica Carlo also disputes Hegseth’s stated cost figure for the Iran war (“37.5 billion”), saying other estimates are far higher, and frames the hearing as evidence of poor leadership at the Pentagon.
