This segment is highlighted by Hegseth being forced to guess what countries were part of ASEAN, or the Association of Southeast Asian Nations.

Fox News host Rachel Campos-Duffy let loose her inner MAGA by reveling in the idea that so many of us lost our homes in the Pacific Palisades wildfires.
Trying to get through the next hour has been challenging for thousands of people dealing with this tragedy, but the crap being vomited by these creeps is almost as nauseating.
