Trump’s ‘got the guts’ to do this: Pete Hegseth

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth reveals what’s ‘front and center’ of President Donald Trump’s quest to make Washington, D.C. safe and explains why he aims to bring back ‘shark attacks’ on ‘The Ingraham Angle.’

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth elaborated on what President Donald Trump has "got the guts" to do, after they announced Monday Washington, D.C.'s police force will be federalized. 

"We're going to work right alongside our law enforcement partners as force multipliers," Hegseth told "The Ingraham Angle." 

As part of the White House’s efforts to crack down on crime, Trump declared it was "Liberation Day" and officially placed the Washington D.C.’s Metropolitan Police Department under federal control. Hegseth also teased 800 National Guard troops will be deployed "in the coming week."
