Trump hints at military deployment in U.S. cities

Season 2025 Episode 273 | 9m 47s

President Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth spoke to nearly the entire senior officer corps of the military. It was an unprecedented gathering at a Marine base south of Washington. Hegseth announced new directives, and the president laid out a vision to use the military not against overseas enemies, but for threats he sees here at home. Nick Schifrin discussed more with Margaret Donovan.
