00:00Mark, good morning. What exactly was the tension here? What did Driscoll and Hegseth disagree on?
00:06It is all speculation at this point because no one is saying anything publicly. But if you look
00:11at what people are saying off the record, it appears to simply be a matter of Hegseth not
00:17trusting Driscoll. Driscoll was a Yale classmate of the vice president, J.D. Vance. And I think
00:25Hegseth might have been somewhat suspicious. Driscoll has told people he's been very, very
00:30frustrated, the lack of leadership of the Pentagon. And look, if this were a one-off, if this was
00:36simply the army secretary leaving, we wouldn't be talking about it. The reason we're talking about
00:41it is because this is one of dozens of top military officials who have either been pushed out of the
00:48Pentagon or have left on their own since Secretary Hegseth came to power. Driscoll doesn't
00:55fit the same pattern.
