REPULSIVE! It Keeps Getting WORSE For Pete Hegseth! (w/ Bill Kristol) | The Bulwark Podcast

Kash Patel, who could potentially run the FBI, is a compulsive liar who can't keep his facts straight about his work experience or even where he was born. Meanwhile, by pardoning Hunter, Biden is not only putting his family ahead of the public interest, he's also giving a giant gift to Trump. Plus, more details on Pete Hegseth's disqualifying behavior, and Trump's avenue for getting around the Senate confirmation process. Bill Kristol joins Tim Miller.
