She joins Joel to talk about the recent news around Arizona Democrat Senator Mark Kelly and his legal battle with Secretary Pete Hegseth. A federal judge granted Sen. Kelly's request for a preliminary injunction against Pete Hegseth, in a lawsuit accusing the defense secretary of trying to punish him for his political speech. Senator Kelly, a former Navy Captain, sued Hegseth in January, one week after the defense secretary moved to formally censure him for participating in a video where he and several Democratic lawmakers told U.S. servicemembers they can refuse illegal orders.
