Two Strikes. Is Hegseth Out?

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth reacts defiantly to two scandals:
his department's decision to murder the survivors of a September
strike on an alleged Venezuelan drug boat, and a Pentagon report
that found that Hegseth's infamous Signal messages put American
troops at risk. Jon and Dan discuss what comes next for the
former Fox News host, and then jump into the rest of the news,
including Trump's disgusting comments about Somali Americans, his
insistence that affordability is a Democratic "con job," and Mike
Johnson's struggles to hold his caucus together after the GOP's
underperformance in the TN-07 special election. Then, Dan talks
to Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries about Democratic momentum
heading into the midterms, the ongoing investigation into the
double-tap strike, and Trump's pardon of embattled Democratic
Congressman Henry Cuellar.
