If Republicans vote this bill down, they will unleash healthcare chaos throughout the country. And finally. Finally on the Hegseth briefing of yesterday. During yesterday's Gang of Eight briefing, I asked Secretary Hegseth directly, will he let every member of Congress see the full, unedited tapes of the September 2nd boat strike? Secretary Hegseth's answer? He said, we have to study it. What the hell has he been doing for the last three months? He and DOD have had more than enough time to study. (10:35–10:48)
