We\u2019re not even at the memorandum. That\u2019s what we\u2019re waiting on being signed today,\u201d she said, before going on to note that the deal described by Hegseth sounded the same as the 2015 nuclear agreement that Trump had earlier pulled out of. <\/p>\n<p>Asked for details on how the administration plans to facilitate the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, Hegseth spoke broadly and claimed, \u201cWe have controlled the Strait this entire time,\u201d prompting Brennan to interject and clarify, \u201cBut you\u2019re going to negotiate with them to reopen it.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re already doing things I can\u2019t talk about,\u201d Hegseth claimed, appearing to grow more frustrated when pushed for specifics. <\/p>\n<p>He became evasive when asked how the Trump administration plans to obtain and eliminate Iran\u2019s enriched uranium stockpile, which the president called \u201cnuclear dust\u201d while vowing to destroy it on Saturday. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf Iran does not want to comply, then they can deal with the War Department again,\u201d he said, dancing around the question of who would handle the destruction of nuclear material. <\/p>\n<p>Brennan attempted to clarify: \u201cIt\u2019s an important point for those who are members of the U.S. military to understand whether you are saying ground troops will be involved in clearing up nuclear dust.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re saying that. You\u2019re trying to put words in my mouth. You\u2019re trying to create a headline,\u201d Hegseth lashed out, with Brennan responding: \u201cNo, I\u2019m asking.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hegseth\u2014becoming more red-faced by the second\u2014managed to dodge the key question again and reverted to generalities.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=1430\">Kimmel Humiliates Trump With Grotesque Epstein Troll for 80th Birthday<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The administration has \u201cplans for everything,\u201d he said. \u201dWhatever the president decides is in the best interest of America.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Hegseth repeatedly tried to turn the interview into a love-fest for Trump, who celebrates his 80th birthday this weekend.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe has made us energy-independent at home. We are a net exporter,\u201d he said, only to be reminded by Brennan that \u201cenergy prices are pretty high right now. So I don\u2019t know that the independence is at the pump.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019re coming down. They are!\u201d Hegseth swore, before awkwardly giggling. <\/p>\n<p>After Brennan moved on to the matter of munitions stockpiles and concerns of them being depleted in Iran, Hegseth insisted the Pentagon was \u201cbuilding more, building faster\u201d and \u201csupercharging our arsenal of freedom.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is a crisis with those stockpiles right now,\u201d Brennan said, sending the defense secretary into a tizzy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo, there\u2019s not. That is a manufactured story that the media wants to peddle. Ultimately, our stockpiles are great and they\u2019ll only get stronger because of the way this president has\u2014\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But Brennan stopped him with a reminder: \u201cYou testified under oath that it would take years to rebuild those stockpiles.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hegseth took a moment to breathe, before lowering his voice and angrily saying: \u201cYou don\u2019t have to read back to me what I testified.\u201d<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cI speculated some munitions take more time than others. We\u2019ve got lots of them. We\u2019re building more than ever before,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=1428\">JD Vance Left Stumped When Asked if Trump Wants Him to Be President<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth appeared to unravel during a live TV interview on Sunday when the news anchor pushed back on the lines he\u2019d seemingly prepared to praise his boss.
