In today's afternoon episode of the Rush Hour podcast, we break down the explosive hearing as Pete Hegseth faces intense questioning from senators over what many are calling an unjust war. The pressure ramps up as contradictions emerge and lawmakers demand answers the administration doesn't seem ready to give. Plus, a major political shake-up in Maine: Graham Platner scores a huge victory as Janet Mills drops out of the Senate race, sending shockwaves through the state's political landscape. What this means for the balance of power—and who stands to gain the most—could reshape the upcoming election cycle. All that and more in today's Rush Hour.
