Six days after winning an election they ran on affordability, Democrats are lining up to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and Hakeem Jeffries told a reporter he is a hard yes. Stacy Washington, an Air Force veteran, tells Jenny Beth Martin why: Hegseth has been putting the warfighter back at the center of the military, and that is exactly what his opponents cannot stand. Rod Martin adds the part nobody in Washington says out loud. Hegseth is the only Secretary of Defense in his lifetime who has seriously tried to fix Pentagon procurement. Long-term contracts let companies hire and expand production lines. Anduril is building. Lockheed is talking differently than it did two years ago. Tomahawk production is going from 68 missiles a year to 1,000, and the cost-plus contracts that certain defense contractors enjoyed for decades are being replaced with fixed prices they have to meet. That, Martin says, is the man they have to stop, and it is why Chuck Schumer is furious.
Then the clip: Jeffries saying Hegseth has got to go. Jenny Beth Martin points out that Thomas Massie's resolution is part of why the House left town in September instead of doing its work, and that if Republicans had simply refused to impeach a member of their own administration, they would still be in the majority. The segment closes on what Hegseth is building next: the drones, artificial intelligence, and quantum computing that will decide how the next conflict is fought.
