Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth faced intense congressional questioning recently, with one representative accusing him of calling surviving soldiers "liars" after they contradicted his claim that a deadly drone attack was merely "a squirter that squeaked through fortified defenses"—with survivors telling CBS the unit had no defense against drones and was "unprepared to provide any defense for itself." When another questioner asked Hegseth how much the Iran war would cost American households in higher gas and food prices, the Defense secretary repeatedly deflected, demanding instead, "What would you pay to ensure Iran doesn't get a nuclear bomb?" before Ro Khanna interjected that the economic cost is $631 billion—"an increase of $5,000 a year for American households." Jimmy notes the contradiction that Trump officials claimed Iran's nuclear program was an "imminent threat" 60 days ago, but now claim it was "completely obliterated," yet still justify the war by saying Iran has nuclear "ambitions." The segment concludes with Khanna telling Hegseth, "You've betrayed... the MAGA base," adding that "JD Vance knows that." Plus segments on Rand Paul eviscerating his own credibility over the White House ballroom, the one fatal mistake Trump made in launching the Iran war and Trump's plan to pay Iran $25 billion to open the Strait of Hormuz.
