Summary
Joe Pags calls out reporters for throwing nonstop slanted questions at President Trump as he heads to China for talks with President Xi, saying legacy media can’t help themselves. Then, Pete Hegseth testifies on the proposed 2026 military budget and lays out why the administration says the spending is critical for readiness and national security. Pags also breaks down the War Powers Resolution and why it absolutely is law, despite confusion surrounding it. Plus, outrage grows over actions by Virginia Democrats, with Pags asking what the reaction would be if Republicans tried the exact same thing. Learn more about your ad choices.
