Bonus Episode: Lunch Hour – Hegseth Grilled, Truth Unravels

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth faces his first major congressional showdown since the war in Iran began—and it gets heated fast. Lawmakers press him on the skyrocketing cost of the conflict, lack of clear strategy, and whether the American public has been misled from the start.

We break down the most intense exchanges, the moment everything shifted, and why this hearing could reshape public trust in the war effort moving forward.
