YouTube Description
as posted by the channelWhat happens when the U.S. military is used not to protect the nation — but to intimidate its own citizens?
In this explosive Senate exchange, a top Democrat confronts Trump’s Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over the shocking deployment of Marines to Los Angeles — and presses him on whether similar military crackdowns are planned for other American cities. Hegseth deflects, dodges, and refuses to provide a clear answer.
