What’s the real story behind the rumors swirling around the Secretary of Defense? Buck Sexton breaks down the media’s failed takedown attempt of Pete Hegseth, why the left is obsessed with removing him, and what’s truly going on inside the Pentagon. From internal debates on Iran to national security leaks and the war on DEI, Buck shares insights you won’t hear anywhere else — including his personal connection to Hegseth and why Trump is standing firm. Plus, Buck dives into Trump’s tariff strategy with China and why the media’s take is, once again, dead wrong.

0:13.0 | That's a question that a lot of people are asking, given the reporting that has been so |
0:19.5 | wrong lately, but very strongly suggesting that we're going to have a change in |

0:30.5 | But something is up over there. First off, let's start with what's at issue here. The media is |

0:40.8 | The Democrat-aligned corporate media apparatus wants him gone, which is interesting because, |
0:49.4 | well, they've always wanted him gone. |
0:50.8 | They've tried to destroy him a few times. |
0:53.3 | And he has gotten more |
