Pete Hegseth STUNS with INSANE announcement | Another Day

The Trump administration goes to war. again. This time with the media. This is. just another day. [music]. While the Trump administration may have. just started their war with Iran, they. have been waging a separate war with the. media for years. And today, we got a few. glimpses of that brutal fight. This is. what the fake news misses. We've taken control of Iran's airspace. and waterways without boots on the. ground. We control their fate. But when. a few drones get through or tragic.

things happen, it's front page news. I. get it. The press only wants to make the. president look bad. But try for once to. report the reality. The reality is. exactly what they're reporting. Apologies if the placement of these real. stories about the tragic deaths of men. and women in our military isn't to the. geographical location of your liking. If. action hero Pete Hexath had his way, everyday's newspaper would just say, "Trump is crushing this shit." Yes, Pete. Haggath hates the media. Well,

not the good ones who deliver. trustworthy news in a wet t-shirt while. taking champagne straight to the dome. He hates the unprofessional ones who are. constantly pestering members of this. administration for answers. >> I heard the question about uh about four. weeks. It's the typical typical NBC sort. of gotcha type question. >> Classic gotcha question asking how long. the war will last. I'm actually. surprised he called the media out and. didn't simply respond with. >> the Dow is over 50,000.

>> because that excuse always works. Now, Hex says disdain for the press is. nothing new. I mean, who wouldn't hate. people who reported that your mother. called you an abuser of women? I'd. imagine reading reporting like that. could make you so mad that well, I don't. want to give him any ideas. But. specifically when it comes to Iran, the. Secretary of Defense has been putting up. with this for months. Uh. there's a reason the president uh calls. out fake news for what it is. And then. the instinct, the instinct of CNN, the.

instinct of the New York Times is to try. to find a way to spin it for their own. political reasons to try to hurt. President Trump or our country. So if. you want to make an assessment of what. happened at Fordo, you better get a big. shovel and go really deep cuz Iran's. nuclear program is obliterated. I. suppose after using that giant shovel to. inspect Iran's nuclear program, it was. then used to scoop up all of Mr. Hex's. Because normally you don't go.

to war over a nuclear program when. you've already obliterated said nuclear. program. That would be like punching. someone when they're already down. >> We are punching them while they're down, which is exactly how it should be. >> Okay. Yeah. No, this all tracks then. But Hexath wasn't the only member of. this administration who waged war. against the media today. was complaining that it was front page. news about these six service members who. were killed. >> That's not what the secretary said, Caitlyn, and that's not what the. secretary meant. And you know it. You. know, you are being disingenuous. There.

is not. We've never had a secretary of. defense. Who cares more? >> Get through or tragic things happen. It's front page news. I get it. The. press only wants to make the president. look bad. Did you know we of US service. members under every president? >> The press does only want to make the. president look bad. >> Well, then why do you make their job so. easy? Did the press place attacks on. American consumers? Did the press not. release the Epstein files? Did the press. sexually abuse Eugene Carol? I guess. Caroline Levit's take is why isn't the.

press talking about the millions of. women Donald Trump didn't abuse? Now, to. be fair, Caroline Levit wasn't targeting. all media, merely the network Dear. Leader despises most. If you're trying. to argue right now that CNN's. overwhelming coverage is not negative of. President Donald Trump, I think the. American people would tend to agree and. your ratings would tend to disagree with. that as well. >> That's right. CNN is total garbage and. the American public deserves unbiased. coverage in their news. Now we know why. we can't rely on NATO for Greenland.

They won't let us use their bases to. fight the number one state sponsor of. terror. The United States is doing the. world a favor and the administration. says it was now or never. This war is. going well. It's ahead of schedule. >> and President Trump knows about timing. You've worked with him. >> Your thoughts? >> Yes, he does. Um I just want to echo. >> [clears throat]. >> uh Emily's points. What what Mr. Trump. has done is brought back. patriotism.

>> We're crushing them. and you're hearing. people say, "Oh, well, the attack wasn't. imminent." Why would you wait for an. Iranian attack to be imminent so you can. justify it to Democrats like that? See, Americans don't want to watch reporters. search for facts or those callous words. like why. They want intrepid journalists. to do the job that they were trained. for. Being a cog in a 24-hour. machine and not calling an. administration out on their is.

actually quite easy. Watch. >> When President Trump makes a threat, and. I have reiterated that threat many times. from this podium to all of you over the. past year, President Trump does not. bluff, >> right? No bluffing ever. So, I will. continue being a patriotic member of the. media and not point out any of the times. Trump bluffed after making a threat. because if I play clips like these, the. terrorists win. Well, after months of. back and forth, the Trump administration. said last week that it would not try to. defend an executive order around DEI in.

schools. President Trump backs down. after his aggressive efforts to acquire. Greenland. >> 2 days after tariffs hit imports from. Canada and Mexico, President Trump now. reversing his decision. >> See, never bluffs. Americans have a. right to be informed. They have a right. to know that the man who campaigned on. rooting out corruption in Washington has. in the first year of his second term. made $4 billion. But people like Pete. Hegsath and Caroline Levit think that. headlines should just read Trump is. baller. The Trump administration's war. with the media, unlike their war with.

Iran, is rooted in strategy. When Donald. Trump, Pete Hgsth, Caroline Levit, or. anyone else sews distrust in the media, it immediately lends itself to the idea. that truth as a whole is obliterated. No. one knows what to believe. And it is in. that very vacuum where authoritarianism. thrives. Chaos is their friend. Because. when people don't know what to believe, their lies can take hold. >> ABC is a terrible network, a very unfair. network, and you should be ashamed of. yourself. NBC is equally bad. I I don't.

know who's worse. I think they're. equally bad. I think you are a terrible. reporter. I'll tell you what, CNN should. be ashamed of itself having you working. for them. You are a rude, terrible. person. You shouldn't be working for. CNN. >> That's right. There's only one place for. rude and terrible people to work. the. White House. When there is disorder and. confusion in society, people desperately. cling to promises of a solution. If. Trump can make people believe that our. elections aren't secure, then people. will get on board with his authoritarian. tactics to secure them. If he can make.

people believe our cities are unsafe, apocalyptic hellscapes, then people will. get on board with his illegal and. tyrannical moves to return them to. safety. If the president can make voters. believe that the Epstein files are a. hoax perpetuated by the Democrats, then. people will get on board with his. defying the law and not releasing them. And right now, if this administration. can convince our nation to believe that. Iran was milliseconds away from nuking. America and that every aspect of this. war is going according to plan, then. people will ideally get on board with. them breaking one of their biggest.

campaign promises. Billions of American. taxpayer dollars are being used to wage. a war that was launched with zero. strategy, zero evacuation plans, and. zero timeline. So the question is not. why are journalists being unpatriotic, but instead why is our entire. administration? But maybe that's just a. sort of gotcha type question. >> Exactly. [music].

But second, the reality is that we are. now in a political environment where. this administration can lean on any of. the social media platforms to suppress. certain voices if they don't like. critical coverage. That means my. longevity here is in the hands of a few. tech billionaires who are already making. it clear that they are willing to cater. to this administration.
