Gen. McChrystal on Trump’s Military Parade & the Need for National Character

Season 2025 Episode 7250 | 18m 39s

Pres. Trump is gearing up for a military parade this weekend to celebrate the 250th birthday of the U.S. Army. But many -- including Republicans -- are skeptical about the event's optics and cost.
