Rep. Matt Gaetz grills Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin about the possibility of U.S. troops becoming engaged in firefights with individuals in Gaza because of the Biden administration's current policies. Sec. Austin confirms this is a very real possibility while playing semantic games over the meaning of "boots on the ground" in Gaza. Following this, Gaetz presses Austin on the F-35 program and how he has overseen its failures and bloated budgets. This exchange took place at today's House Armed Services Committee hearing. ► Watch MORE BlazeTV YouTube Videos: https://bit.ly/3EVRJHP ► Join BlazeTV and Watch LIVE Shows Daily! https://get.blazetv.com/ ► Visit the 'Blaze News' Website (No Annoying Ads!): https://www.theblaze.com/ ► Sign-Up for our NEWSLETTER: https://www.theblaze.com/newsletters/… Connect with us on Social Media: http://x.com/TheBlaze http://x.com/BlazeTV / theblazetv / blazemedia #blazetv #mattgaetz #lloydaustin #secdef #secretaryofdefense #defensedepartment #dod #gaza #israel #palestine #israelhamaswar #news #politics #politicsnews #politicalnews #congress #congressnews #congressionalhearing
