LIVE: Trump War Crosses DANGEROUS LINE as He LOSES CONTROL

Senator John Neely Kennedy delivered an "almost pornographic" display of praise for President Trump, which the host termed "glazing." This behavior is framed as an attempt to bolster Trump's ego amidst his alleged failures and historically low presidential ratings. The host suggests Trump is insulated from real news, only receiving information that makes him "feel good like a toddler."

Senator John Neely Kennedy's Fox News appearance, where he used mixed metaphors like "oranges the size of beach balls" and "eat your liver with fava beans and a nice Chianti" to describe Trump's toughness. The host cites Trump's lowest presidential ratings in history and his reliance on selectively positive polls (e.g., Enten Polls).

The Trump administration has allegedly exceeded the 60-day legal limit for military engagement in Iran without seeking a War Powers Resolution from Congress. President Trump dismissed calls for congressional approval as "unpatriotic," despite the host's 22 years of military service and belief in constitutional law.

The war in Iran reached the 60-day mark on May Day. Trump stated, "I don't think that it's constitutional what they're asking for. These are not patriotic people that are asking." The host, a veteran, directly refutes this, calling it a failure to follow the law.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is accused of lying, gaslighting, and obfuscating during congressional hearings regarding the Iran war. He failed to acknowledge that the stated objectives—destroying missiles, achieving regime change, and preventing nuclear weapons—had not been met, instead claiming "stunningly effective" military objectives.

Senator Jack Reed outlined three presidential objectives for the Iran operation. Hegseth responded by claiming "stunningly effective" military objectives and avoiding direct answers, attributing Iran's nuclear proximity to "bad deals under previous administration" (Obama's JCPOA) while ignoring Trump's role in abandoning it.

Six US reserve soldiers were killed and dozens injured in Kuwait by an Iranian drone strike due to a reported lack of adequate defenses. Secretary Hegseth allegedly downplayed the incident as a "squirter that squeaked through fortified defenses," directly contradicting the accounts of surviving soldiers who stated there were "none" for drone defense.

A CBS report detailed the lack of counter-drone, rocket, mortar, or artillery systems at the Al Shuaiba port in Kuwait. Surviving soldiers explicitly stated their unit was "unprepared to provide any defense for itself" and that Hegseth's description was a "falsehood."

The host criticizes Hegseth and the military leadership for refusing to admit mistakes or conduct after-action reports regarding the Kuwait drone attack. This contrasts sharply with the US Army's standard practice of immediate, in-battle reviews of failures to prevent recurrence, as illustrated by the host's personal experience during the march to Baghdad.

The host recounts a 2003 incident during the march to Baghdad where his unit conducted an immediate teleconference review of a sister unit's compromised mission and lost aircraft, emphasizing the military's commitment to learning from mistakes even mid-conflict. Hegseth's response to the Kuwait incident is seen as a direct contradiction to this principle.

Hegseth is accused of hypocrisy for previously stating in 2016 that "the military won't follow unlawful orders" under the Obama administration, but now dismissing the same principle as "partisan" when applied to the Trump administration's potentially illegal war in Iran.

Senator Kelly quoted Hegseth's 2016 statement: "The military won't follow unlawful orders." Hegseth confirmed agreement but immediately accused the senator of "insinuating at a partisan point," attempting to shut down the line of questioning.
