John Oliver warns Pete Hegseth his time as defense secretary is running out

Comedian John Oliver warned Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth that his time in office is limited, saying "Tick tock, b**ch" on his show following the Democrats' midterm victory. Oliver cited growing political pressure against Hegseth. Oliver pointed to Republican Representative Thomas Massie's impeachment push and frustration with the defense chief. He also revisited the Signal group chat controversy where a journalist was included in military strike discussions, and criticized the Iran conflict's failure to meet objectives. The Iran war has left the Strait of Hormuz under Iranian control, according to Oliver's critique. Hegseth faces mounting challenges from both parties as scrutiny over his leadership continues.
