RUSH EXCERPT:
CLARK: "I think it‘s going to be a real challenge because there are many in Congress, including Mitch McConnell and Roger Wicker, who believe you should double the defense budget. Now, the Democrats haven‘t supported this in the past. But if you also want to put in massive tax cuts or even extend the tax cuts that are supposed to expire next year that were put in by President Trump, uh, what about the national debt? People are worried about the debt. What about social safety programs? How is all this going to work out inside the budget? And I think that‘s one of the real challenges that Secretary Hegseth will face and also President Trump."
