Episode Description

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth doesn't want "fat" people in the military -- he's said so several times before. Today, he's expected to announce several changes to the military, including the elimination of 20% of admirals and generals. He's calling it the "State of the Force." Ahead of his remarks, Greg and Holly share their concerns about a push towards looks for military members and leaders instead of a push towards ability and skill.
