Trump vs. Powell: The Real Fed Scandal Nobody Is Watching

Pete Hegseth says the U.S. military needs fewer beards, tougher standards, testosterone testing, and a renewed “warrior” culture. TJ Walker takes apart the Defense Secretary’s State of the Force speech at Quantico, and asks what those priorities mean while the United States remains locked in conflict with Iran and Americans face higher energy costs. Then, Donald Trump’s attacks on Jerome Powell collide with the Federal Reserve inspector general’s findings on the Fed headquarters renovation. TJ looks at how accusations dominate headlines, and what happens when the follow-up gets far less attention.
