**Dive Deep into America's Defense: Pete Hegseth's Controversial Tenure as Secretary of War**

In this episode of the Secretary of Defense podcast, host Mortimer delves into the fascinating and tumultuous tenure of Pete Hegseth, the first U.S. Secretary of War since the department's renaming in September 2025. We explore Hegseth's impactful keynote address at the 2025 Reagan National Defense Forum, where he outlines his bold national defense strategy focused on "peace through strength," rearming the nation, and countering global threats, particularly from China.

However, it's not all smooth sailing. We discuss the fallout from Hegseth's military actions targeting alleged drug traffickers in the Caribbean, which have sparked investigations and calls for his removal by some lawmakers. Adding fuel to the fire, the episode unpacks the Franklin meme controversy and its implications for his role in national security, as well as the ongoing Signalgate incident that has raised significant operational security concerns.

Join us as we dissect these critical issues that put Hegseth in the spotlight and examine the potential impacts on U.S. defense policy.
