3:47Rubio defends presidential authority and the administration's military and law-enforcement actions.
5:46Hawley's interview begins; he warns that Democratic control of the House could bring repeated impeachment efforts.
6:20Hawley proposes gas-tax suspension, rural hospital funding and a ban on congressional stock trading.

Josh Hawley wants Congress suspending the gas tax, funding rural hospitals and banning its members from trading stocks. Appearing on Jesse Watters Primetime after the House blocked an impeachment resolution against Pete Hegseth, the Missouri Republican presents those priorities as an alternative to further investigations.

The segment, posted by Fox News Clips, drew roughly 398,000 views in 17 hours, already far beyond the channel's usual first-day audience for regular videos.

Hawley's interview comes late in the upload. First, Watters assembles a defense of Hegseth through Pentagon remarks, comments from Marco Rubio and his own argument about presidential authority to order military action. The segment also includes Chuck Schumer calling for Hegseth to face a Senate trial.

Hegseth maintains that the military operations were lawful and authorized. "These are not high crimes. This is the job," he says in one excerpt.

When Hawley joins, he frames the blocked resolution as a warning of what Democrats could pursue with control of the House: "It's a preview of coming attractions, as you just said." That is his political forecast, rather than an announced schedule of proceedings.

His concrete legislative alternative arrives immediately afterward, including the proposal he states plainly: "We ought to be banning stock trading by members of Congress."
