Hegseth SLAMMED For His DISTURBING War Updates

It kind of seems like a trend of Israel apparently pursuing their own objectives over US objectives. I'm not sure if you agree with that, but the President has said he doesn't want to hit Iran's oil infrastructure right now. As you said, the US avoided this on Park Island. Oil's nearing $120. Why are we helping Israel prosecute this war if they're

gonna pursue their own objectives? We hold the cards. We have objectives. Those objectives are clear. We have allies pursuing objectives as well. And the truth speaks for itself. I mean, President Trump was very clear about that. Iran has weaponized energy for decades. Israel clearly sent a warning and POTUS has made it clear, very clear. Iran knows when you hit Karg Island and you hit military capabilities on Karg Island, which is the only thing we hit, we can hold anything at issue, anything. The United States military controls the fate of that country.

Watching his press conferences might be one of the most embarrassing things I personally feel that I've had to go through as a citizen of this country. He sounds like a moron, he acts like a moron, he gestures like a moron.

He has no idea what he's talking about and he keeps talking about carrying out death and destruction. This is not a professional, okay? This is a former Fox News weekend host and a drunk.

So he's talking about like we control that country completely. Do you? Then why is the Strait of Hormuz

closed?

Why did they just shoot down one of our stealth fighters if we're completely in control of

the country?

So the other problem is he says, no, our objectives are very clear. Wait, are they? because just a couple of days ago, Donald Trump told our allies when they asked them,

what's your objectives? How do we know when the war is over? He said, I'll know it in my bones.

Okay.

So now our objective is getting Donald Trump to feel the right things in my bones. Okay. So now our objective is getting Donald Trump to feel the right things in his bones. And apparently that's a crystal clear objective, right?

I mean, they're all total

incompetence here. And when you try to do a war with an actual country that could fight back, and even as we decimated their Air Force and their Navy, etc. It's not like they didn't know we

were going to do that. It's not like they didn't know that our Air Force and Navy are much mightier than theirs, right? So they planned ahead, unlike the idiots like Hegseth and Trump.

And then now guys to the economics of and I told you, the $119 per barrel. Remember at 120, analysts mourn of complete economic destruction in America and the West.

This is all as Israel pretends, we are doing this to protect the West. We are your great protectors. And they told us though, it's okay because it'll never get

to $120.

It was at $119 earlier today, okay? So now it went back down a little bit, it keeps seesawing. But guys, none of the news lately is good news, it's all bad news. So this is disaster.

And to Anna's point about we think the pilot's safe, but does the American government lie?

All the time,

does it cover things up?

So for example, there's 13 Americans killed, 150 wounded. Then the next day they come out and go, okay, just kidding, 200 wounded. So wait, are you going to tell me tomorrow it's 300? They're clearly hiding the numbers because they're embarrassed at

the damage that we're taking. This thing is nowhere near over. And finally, if you're wondering, now Trump might be an idiot, but Netanyahu isn't, Israel isn't.

They know exactly what

they're doing.

So why did they want to bomb the Iranian gas field, which would then lead to Iran bombing the Kuwaiti gas field?

They want to escalate. They want to-

Not just escalate, Anna. They just opened one of the largest gas fields in Israel.

Great, I hope it gets bombed by Iran.

It's called Leviathan. Yeah. And so now that Russia is a little bit out of commission with their pipeline, and now that Israel has conveniently bombed all the gas fields in the Middle East, now when the war is over, they're going to

say, well, I guess you're going to have to buy all your gas from Israel, and we just opened up Leviathan, so what a coincidence

they'll tell us.

Given the updated degradation and strike target numbers you laid out, how close would you say we are towards achieving the President's objectives? And what is the end game of the operation without divulging any

sensitive battle plans?

Well, we wouldn't want to set a definitive time frame on that, but as we've said, we're on plan. It will be at the President's choosing, ultimately, where we say, hey, we've achieved what we need to on behalf of the American people to ensure our security. So no time set on that, but

we're very much on track.

George W Bush was a war criminal. There's no question about it. His administration was full to the brim with war criminals and neocons, the types of politicians and political figures that we hear

at the Young Turks really don't like. However, Trump is worse, the Trump administration is worse, because they add incompetence and unlikeability to the mix.

What do I mean by that? Dick Cheney was very unlikable. George W Bush was dumb and incompetent, but there was something endearing about him,

right?

And he was funny, unintentionally funny.

Yeah, he would say things like, the trick is to keep

expectations low.

And he did, he did,

he understood that trick really well.

Yeah, and our expectations were really low, and at least it was self-effacing.

Totally, right, and he-

He was very self-deprecating

at times. Yeah, and so you had a sense that at least he knew he was a knucklehead. Whereas Trump is in a shocking turn of events, significantly dumber than George W Bush, but he has no idea.

And that's actually part and parcel of being that dumb. You just don't know. It's called the Dunning-Kruger effect, where smart people don't know how smart they are, they think that they're average. And folks like Trump,

who are like the bottom of the barrel in IQ, since they're that dumb, they have no idea and they think they're geniuses. So, and that's why there's nothing

endearing about him at all. He oozes like everything that's contemptible in my opinion.

Somebody came up to me the other

day and said, where's Mandela? I said, Mandela's dead.

Saddam killed all the Mandela's. By the way, this is before Mandela was dead. Okay, so anyway, all right.

I had to put out a statement say, no, I'm not dead.

I'm very much alive still, okay. Anyway, let's get back to modern times. So, Hegseth also used dead US troops as a shield against any legitimate criticism of the Iran war.

This part of the press conference for me personally was the most infuriating. Anyway, take a look.

My 13 year old son popped into my office last night while I was editing these remarks. He asked about the war and the families I met at Dover. And I looked at him and I said, they died for you, son, so that your generation doesn't have to deal with a nuclear Iran.

The Middle East, our ungrateful allies in Europe, even segments of our own press should be saying one thing to President Trump. Thank you. Thank you for the courage to stop this terror state from holding the world hostage with missiles

while building or attempting to build a nuclear bomb.

Thank you for

doing the work of the free world.

There's a video going viral online showing the coffin of the free world. There's a video going viral online showing the coffin of one of the fallen soldiers arriving in the United States and the soldiers family members go around the coffin.

I didn't want to pull the video because it makes me emotional and I don't want to cry on the show. So when you see a video like that and you think about the pain that that soldiers family members are

going through right now, and then you hear the kinds of statements being made by our Secretary of War during these press conferences, I don't know how it doesn't make Americans angry.

Using fallen soldiers as pawns like that, it really disgusts me.

Yeah, I saw a meme online today of Netanyahu's son partying and it says Netanyahu's son. And then it's got coffins covered in American flags and says your son.

So that's because Israel won't send in ground troops. They need us to be the meat grinder for them. And so we're going to send our guys to go die for them. And so we're going to send our guys to go die for them.

And now we have to pay $200 billion for them. Meanwhile, everyone in our media lies and says, Israel, that is a very small part of this. If you say that's a large part of

our consideration, you should be fired from your job and never allowed to speak in public again, because you're a terrible anti-Semite. No, you guys are the sickest liars there is.

Every national political reporter is a piece of crap that covers for Israel nonstop, never gives you the truth. But it's not just Israel, they cover for all the donors.

They're giant liars and propagandists. Anyways, back to Pete Hegseth. He says, son, this is for you. Now remember, all of our money comes from Israel. And since I sold out this country, those dead bodies are to pay for

your tuition, and your house, and your next house. Because of all how corrupt we all are in the Trump administration, all of us have taken tremendous amount of money from Israel.

Now in Hegzith's case, I don't even know how he took it. With the politicians like Marco Rubio. At a bare minimum, he's taking $6 million in campaign contributions. Hegzeth wrote in his book that

America should work with the IDF and the IDF soldiers should be in American streets. So I don't know what his connection to Israel is, but it is significant because that is

a mental thing to say. The only way you say that is if you work for Israel. Lastly, look, people are going to look back at this and mainly the right wing, because the left wing already knows about this guy and the independents are now very clear.

They loathe this war and the polling indicates that, right? But it's going to be the right wing that feels the most betrayed. And they're going to think that this Hegseth guy is one of the very worst. As he sits there and minimizes the American casualties, and

keeps covering for a different country while he's pretending to be

our Secretary of Defense.

On top of that, Cenk, I mean, everything you just listed is

bad enough.

His boastful nature when it comes to inflicting pain, destruction, death on a population of people. It's just, honestly, it's unprecedented when it comes to the Secretary of State slash

Secretary of War, historically speaking. I'm sorry, yes, defense, my bad, Secretary of Defense. It's just, it's not a good, I mean, is that how Americans want

to be represented?

Yeah, guys, just to be clear because this is like reality warping stuff that they're doing. Normally, what America does is say, hey, listen, we don't want to go to war,

even if it's a just war. Let's say the first Persian Gulf War, we just liberated Kuwait and we got out, we didn't go and invade any other countries, whatever your feelings are about that war. Even then we were like, we're so

sorry that we have to do this, but we don't have a choice. And otherwise Saddam is going to take Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, etc. And we really are broken hearted about the people that are killed.

That's how America used to be. Now we become Israelified. So the Israelis, and we've shown you quote after quote here, hundreds of quotes, come in and go, that's right.

We brought death and

destruction to Gaza. And now we're taking it for greater Israel and for God, because God wants us to have it. And now we're going to go into Lebanon. We just gave you the quote

just a day or two ago, one of their ministers saying, now we're going to bring death and destruction to Lebanon. To literally kill every single

person, there shouldn't be a single human being moving around in the area.

So now Hegzif is talking like the Israeli government officials. Death and destruction, wanton death, who cares if we murder innocent civilians? There's 175 dead girls in

an elementary school, no remorse, no nothing. America shows remorse when we, if we accidentally hit a school, that's a terrible thing. Even Laura Ingraham said, for

God's sake, show some remorse.

Show some remorse. Right. Take accountability for it, apologize for it. 168 little girls, the total death toll was 175.

We did that, our country did that, okay? And when I say our country, I'm not talking about the people of our country, I'm talking about our government, our military. And it's just adding insult to injury when you don't take ownership of the mistake and apologize for it.

The only two people that were quite disappointed, I don't wanna say this, but I have to. I said Pete and General Raising Cain, I think this thing's gonna be settled very soon. Here they go. That's too bad. Pete didn't want it to be settled. These guys are doing a great job. That's a good attitude though, Tom, right?

They were not interested in settlement. They were interested in just winning this thing.

All right, so our Defense Department is being run by an actual clown who doesn't know what he's doing. And yesterday, Trump threw the Department of War Secretary Pete Hegseth under the bus, stating that he's the reason that we're still in this war, according to Trump. Hegseth and General Kane weren't too happy about the US's 15 point plan to end the war.

They said, you know what,

we want more war.

It's very sad that we're trying to end this now. So the New York Times has not seen a copy of the plan, but the officials who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive details, shared some of its broad outlines,

saying that it addressed Iran's ballistic missile and nuclear programs. The plan also discusses maritime routes, one official said. Since the beginning of the war, Iran has effectively blocked most Western ships from safely passing through the Strait of Hormuz, the strategic waterway in and out of the Persian Gulf, cutting the global supply of oil and natural gas and sending prices soaring.

Iran has responded basically saying the war will end on their terms, not on Trump's. And at the end of the day, Hegseth doesn't want this war to end because he gets to show off what a strong, strong man he is.

Let's watch.

The air campaign that we've conducted, that Israel's conducted alongside us was one for the history books, truly. And it's because we have a President of the United States that when he sends his warfighters

out to fight, he unties their hands to actually go out and close with and destroy the enemy as viciously as possible from moment one. And that's why we see ourselves as part of this negotiation as well. We negotiate with bombs.

You have a choice as we loiter over the top of Tehran, as the President talked about, about your future. President has made it clear that you will not have a nuclear weapon.

The War Department agrees, our job is to ensure that. And so we're keeping our hand on that throttle, as long as it's hard as it's necessary to ensure the interest of the United States of America are achieved on that battlefield.

Why is he smiling as he's saying all of this, this man is crazy. And as a reminder, yet again, Iran was never an immediate threat to the United States. And we're only in this war because

of Israel, whether or not the mainstream media wants to talk about that, that is why we mainstream media wants to talk about that, that is why we're there. An unnecessary war that we are now a part of, and all of this has led

to the death now of at least 13 US service members, and we have this man at the head of everything, who is giddy over, what did he say? Operating as viciously as possible, is he a child wise?

He sounds like a little boy.

No, but their hands are no longer tied, they could be as vicious as possible to drop bombs on the heads of school children and kill them near 200 school girls. That's what Pete Hexheff is bragging about, their ability to be

unrestrained in the violence that they unleash out in the Middle East. It's so stupid, and obviously, it's ghoulish and vicious. And these people, I mean, it's hard

to take any of this stuff serious because the bluster is so cartoonish and buffoonish, it's hard to even be mad, you look like a clown. Nobody actually watches this guy talk things wild, we really got our

head in the game and our eyes on the ball. And again, for people to understand, the fact that United States is even talking about a surrender, or excuse me, a secession of

hostilities, it just shows that we're not winning. We the, we're going to obliterate the nuclear energy. We're going to have, we're going to decapitate the regime and do regime change.

We're going to open up the strait

of Hormuz.

We're reaching none of those objectives, nothing. So if we were winning, we'd be pressing our advantages and be like, screw that. We're putting a brand new puppet regime in, God's going to love

America, love Israel. They're going to be our little lackeys over there in Iran. We're going to keep doing what we're doing. We're going to take over Iran's

oil, we're going to open up the strait. Why would we stop if we were that close to achieving those objectives? The answer is we're not, we're not winning. We're not, we're doing a lot of destruction. Our military is very good at that.

A trillion dollars, we can do a lot of indiscriminate or even targeted destruction to buildings and facilities and all of that stuff. But again, Iran has been preparing

for 25 years for this, okay?

And so they know what our

capabilities are, Yazz, they know like, all right, they're going to bomb this. They're going to bomb the hell out of that. Okay, they think they're going to

invade. All right, we know where they're going to, exactly where they're going to try to invade from. They're going to try to attack us from places like Kuwait and Bahrain and Saudi Arabia and the UAE, we'll bomb the hell

out of their infrastructure. We'll decimate their oil economy if they keep playing with us. We'll make their lives miserable. We'll turn Dubai into the freaking 4th of July and thereby ruin their

freaking tourist economy so they can start putting pressure on the US, they've thought about this stuff. And us we got Pete Hegseth, the biggest meathead doofus I've ever seen in my life.

And the American people are supposed to believe we're quote unquote winning this war.

Yeah, that is really a very accurate description of Pete Hegseth, just like a meathead doofus, just like a dude who never matured past the eighth grade. I remember kids acting exactly

this way in literally the eighth grade and at the time as another eighth grader, I was like those are bad dumb kids, that's who we have running our country right now.
