Inside Trump's Chaotic Pentagon Shake Up With Kevin Baron

In this in-depth interview, Alex Griffing sits down with Kevin Baron, longtime Pentagon correspondent and former Executive Editor of Defense One, to break down the chaotic first month of President Donald Trump’s second term.

We also dive into Trump's defense shakeups, how loyalists like Pete Hegseth are redefining the Pentagon’s mission, and the global fallout from America's shifting alliances. Could NATO survive without U.S. backing? Is Elon Musk shaping the future of military spending? And what does it all mean for America’s standing on the world stage?
