## Resource

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth went before the Senate Appropriations Committee on July 21 to defend an $87.6 billion supplemental funding request for the Iran war — and left senators from both parties frustrated with the answers he gave. In this episode, Retired Navy Commander Bobby Jones breaks down some of the most contentious moments from the hearing; from the cost of the war to the demand for “straight answers”.
