YouTube Description
as posted by the channelPete Hegseth just tried to convince Congress that a global disaster is actually a "military success," but the receipts say otherwise. From dismissing the massive financial burden on American families as a "gotcha" to bragging about a war that has our allies running for the exits, the incompetence is on full display.
We’re breaking down the highlights from the hearing where the Trump administration’s national security "strategy" was exposed as nothing more than expensive gaslighting.
Inside this episode:
🔹 Delusional "Victory": Hegseth claims the mission is an "astounding military success" even as Iran successfully closes the Strait of Hormuz.
🔹 The $5,000 Denial: When Rep. Ro Khanna points out that the war is costing American households $5,000 a year in gas and food, Hegseth calls it a "gotcha question".
🔹 Allies Under Fire: Rep. Adam Smith grills the administration for "gratuitously insulting" NATO allies and President Macron while simultaneously asking for their support.
🔹 The Lying Accusation: Rep. Garamendi tells Hegseth directly that he has been lying to the public and calls the war an astounding example of incompetence.
🔹 Economic Sabotage: Secretary of State Marco Rubio admits the administration is deliberately targeting civilian roads and plants to destroy the Iranian economy.
🔹 Education in Shambles: While Hegseth flails on war, Education Secretary Linda McMahon admits to firing half her department and resolving zero sexual assault cases last year.
