0:00I'm Ed Donahue with an AP newsman at Stocks Finish Tire, the Dow up 790 points. On Capitol Hill, Defense Secretary Pete Hexeth clashed with Democrats over the Iran War. The Americans' people trust in our military took 250 years to build. You are dismantling it in a fraction of that time, and trust once long can take generations to rebuild. That is the ranking Democrat on the Senate Armed Services Committee, Rhode Island's Jack Reed. On Iran, Hexeth spoke of reckless naysayers and defeatist words. Defeatists from the chief seats who two months in seek to undermine the incredible efforts that have been undertaken and the historic nature of taking on a 47-year threat with the courage no other president has had to great success and great opportunity for preventing Iran from having a nuclear weapon. Hexeth seemed to emerge with solid Republican support. For more information at apnews.com, I'm Ed Donahue.
