Hegseth Defends His Record | Are Deportations Working? | Hunting Antifa | 7/22/26

Aaron McIntire breaks down Secretary of War Pete Hegseth's congressional testimony defending his record and America's more targeted approach to the Iran war, plus the Pentagon's identification of Sergeant Michael Emmanuel Swinton, killed in a drone incident at Erbil Air Base in Iraq. He covers a twice-deported illegal immigrant, Brandon Ortiz-Vite, now suing President Trump for $75 million and citizenship after being convicted of murdering Michigan's Ruby Garcia. Aaron digs into fresh ICE deportation numbers for the fiscal year, and reacts to New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill's admission that a software error registered thousands of noncitizens to vote in her state. He also covers Congressman Brandon Gill's viral grilling of a Smithsonian museum director over a document tying politeness to white supremacy. Aaron closes with journalist Andy Ngo's breakdown of how decentralized and difficult to track Antifa networks really are.
