Michigan Senate candidate Mike Rogers Hugh to assess the ceasefire with Iran

Is it part of the rearmament of America? Needs to be. It's not yet. And one of the reasons I'm doing this, Hugh, is for that very reason.

The naval sub tracking station in the upper peninsula no longer there. We used to have a bigger role in building submarine components in the west side of the state. (04:58–05:07)
