Pete Hegsath, Jake, has been a disaster. The most unqualified Secretary of Defense we have ever had, and it isn't even close. His plan in Iran was ridiculous. He bombed over 15 ,000 targets because he had no idea what he was doing. And it's been a complete disaster. He needs to go. Donald Trump should fire him. And if he doesn't fire him, we'll see what Republicans in the House, you know, want to do. It sounds like they want to impeach him. We'll see what happens with that effort. I would like to see him go as soon as possible because he just is unable to do this job, and he's doing significant damage to the U .S. military.
