Political strategist Steve Schmidt returns to The Red Letter for a live session with Tara to break down her exclusive reporting: Republican senators have "zero confidence" in Pete Hegseth as Defense Secretary. One Senate source told Tara, "Everyone regrets voting for him. There's more regret than RFK." They dig into Hegseth's combative style, why the Pentagon is blocking embedded journalists from covering the war, the mysterious retreat of the USS Gerald Ford to a Greek port amid rumors of crew sabotage, the 82nd Airborne deployment signaling major escalation, Trump's fictional conversations with the Ayatollah, and why Saudi and Israeli interests are driving American troops into a war without a plan.
