While Trump's pick to lead the Department of Defense, Pete Hegseth, may have righted the ship of his nomination, there's still a long way to go to get to the Pentagon.

Grant takes a look at what Hegseth wants to do with the military, why he thinks it's "woke," and what that could mean for our men and women in uniform. Plus, what it could mean for our allies and the conflicts we're in around the world.

Grant is joined by Jennifer Kavanagh from Defense Priorities to talk all about military readiness and the challenges on the horizon that could make or break the next Trump administration.
