Pete Hegseth finally SNAPS, LOSES IT in meltdown | Another Day
The Trump administration has had it with fake news, but don't worry, their fake facts are still totally intact. This is just another day. As everyone knows, the Trump administration has had quite the contentious relationship with the press. Everybody's heard the complaints that trusted, quality journalism is becoming something of
a bygone era. Well, thankfully, there are still some reputable outlets that this White House deems worthy of their time. Mr. President, what an there are still some reputable outlets that this White House deems worthy of their time.
Mr. President, what an honor.
Thank you very much.
Thank you for sitting down with me today. Is it true that you watched the Joshua fight
on Air Force One?
I watched it. I watched you and I thought you were very brave.
How big is the TV on Air Force One?
Good. It's good. Literally a year and a half ago. We had a country that was laughed at all over the world You know that they were laughing. Yeah, we were just not respected Nobody respect no one respected the leadership. You just take your say hello to your brother. Okay. I will thank you. Thank you, man Thank you for sitting down great honor
wanted just to a pick and then Cool. It was a very good interview. Yeah yeah, thank you, man. You know, for a guy, see. I only had a day and a half to prepare.
It took you a day and a half to prepare for that? Looks to me like you strung together a few sentences while pounding muscle milk in the green room. But I guess Jake Paul is as serious about his preparation as he is about his perspiration. The point is, to Trump, that's what a good interview looks like. A reporter who asks the tough questions about the size of the TV on Air Force One, echoes your talking points about the greatness of America, and doesn't push back when you
completely contradict yourself. And another one of these intrepid interviewers is Fox News' Brian Kilmeade.
Look, nobody has the technology or the weapons that we have, and the Patriots are an example of it. We have the tomahawks, we have the Patriots, we have stuff that nobody's ever been able to produce and they can't produce it like us. So we'll see how it all goes, Brian. I mean, it's going very well. We're way ahead of schedule, way ahead.
We had no idea it would be this far ahead. We've knocked out close to 90% of their missiles. How important, how important would it be to get out that besiege force, the thugs that
walk the streets?
You see, that is what a good journalist does. They respectfully let the president talk about how the United States is the only nation with tomahawk missiles instead of pulling the corrupt fake news move of pointing out that Donald Trump said something entirely different just a few days ago.
The Tomahawk missile likely destroyed that Iranian girls' school.
So will the Americans, will the U.S. accept any responsibility?

Get started freeWell I haven't seen it, and I will say that the Tomahawk, which is one of the most powerful weapons around, is used by, you know, is sold and used by other countries, you know that. And whether it's Iran, who also has some tomahawks, I wish they had more, but whether it's Iran or somebody else, the fact that a tomahawk, a tomahawk is very generic.
Yep. We're the only ones that have that very generic weapon that everyone has. Now, the reason that those interviews with our incredibly consistent commander in chief went so well is because the reporters did their job. They sat there, they nodded, and sometimes smiled. Whereas over at the Pentagon, some less experienced journalists continued to show just how little
they seemed to understand the medium. Some in this crew, in the press, just can't stop. Allow me to make a few suggestions. People look up at the TV and they see banners, they see headlines. I used to be in that business. And I know that everything is written intentionally. Pete Hexeth wants you to remember that he was also once a reputable member of the media.
And so he assumes that every journalist in that room must obviously write with the exact same intention as him. While the grades are in, and Kamala Harris last night flunked her exam. If you go by the old adage, the children are the future, then plain as day, this poll shows that the future hates America. This is not just the woke military stuff you've been hearing about.
This is not an extremism stand down or a social justice reading list or even a foolish CIA recruitment video we've all seen by now. This is worse. This is way worse. This, my friends, is a purge. I don't play golf and I don't speak German.
So Bill Hemmer has both of those on me. Yeah, it's true.
It's true.
I only speak one language, American. That's true. It's true. I only speak one language, American. That's right, the good old American language, where we write all our Fs to look like guns, our Os to have a severe weight problem, and in the American language, the meaning of our words doesn't really have much meaning.
This was an excursion that a lot of people wouldn't have done.
I guess that's why I couldn't find the American language on Google Translate, because you don't have to translate a word if the meaning is just whatever you want it to be. But sorry, Pete, you were saying? For example, a banner or a headline, Mid-East war intensifies, splashing on the screen the last couple of days, alongside visuals of civilian or energy targets that Iran has hit because that's what they do. What should the banner read instead?
How about Iran increasingly desperate? Because they are.
They know it and so do you.
Iran increasingly desperate? That's the headline you're pining for? They're a nation at war. If you're looking for someone increasingly desperate, you might want to turn to the so-called badass rocker who uses a network watched primarily by geriatrics to promote his tour dates.
But what's another headline Pete thinks really missed the mark? Another example of a fake headline that I saw yesterday. War widening. Here's a real headline for you for an actual patriotic press.
How about Iran shrinking, going underground? Did you hear those words? A patriotic press. How about Iran shrinking, going underground?
Did you hear those words? A patriotic press. Pete Hexeth apparently believes that patriotism is not about holding your leaders accountable through accurate and ethical reporting, but merely acting as stenographers and just writing down whatever they tell you to write. Because that way, Americans can hear how awesome everything is everywhere.
You know, like how they do it over in this democracy. Now, I'm not exactly sure what she said, but it sure as hell sounded like freedom. But the fake news finder still had those last arrows in his quiver. Or more fake news from CNN. Reports that the Trump administration underestimated the Iran wars impact on the Strait of Hormuz. Patently ridiculous of course. For
decades Iran has threatened shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. This is always what they do, hold the Strait hostage. CNN doesn't think we thought of that. It's a fundamentally unserious report. The sooner David Ellison takes over that network, the better. And that is what you call giving away the game. We now live in a world where the United States Secretary of Defense feels completely comfortable voicing his assumption that when

And I think Pete is confident in that assumption because that's what David Ellison promised Donald Trump. This administration does not want news, they want propaganda. Which is a surprise to no one because the entire Trump machine is organized around silencing
anyone who offers up anything but a glowing performance review of this White House or America as a whole. In fact, that is the stated mission of FCC Chair Brendan Carr.
We're launching a Pledge America campaign at the FCC which allows broadcasters to air pro-America patriotic programming to celebrate the country's 250th birth.
Yes, it allows broadcasters to do that, but let's just say that a newscaster decides not to regurgitate a bunch of MAGA talking points under the low hum of the star-spangled banner and instead point out what they see as the systemic dismantling of our constitutional democracy. Well, Carr is totally cool with that. Remember, his views on what come across America's airwaves are not mandates, but merely suggestions.
If journalists want to point out inconsistencies or falsehoods coming from this administration, that is totally fine. Or it's also more than fine if they want to say stuff like this.
You know, it's just incredible that we actually need the FCC to remind viewers and remind the people who are programming to put beautiful patriotism on their airwaves. But you're right, you've got pockets of the country that are pushing back on this, even as we know that this is the greatest country in the world and the freest country in the world.
Man, you know, technology is getting incredibly advanced because I know that Maria Bartiromo and Brendan Carr aren't even in the same location here, and yet somehow she's still able to blow him on camera. It is adorable watching people think that there is some level of fawning or currying favor with this administration that will land them in the untouchable category. That if they do Donald Trump's bidding hard enough, their organization will be free from
scorn. Remember how Washington Post owner and Amazon chief Jeff Bezos, seen here looking like he just paid $10 million to be an extra in Top Gun Maverick, tried to cozy up to the administration by backing off his criticism of Trump's tariffs and even shelling out $40 million for this illuminating piece of cinema? He thought that would be enough to get special treatment. But Bezos apparently missed the lesson.
Just this week, David Carr blasted Amazon for daring to criticize SpaceX, and not long ago, Pete Hegseth had his own choice words for Bezos' Washington Post.
Did you at any time say that everybody on board should be killed? Does anybody here from the Washington Post?
I don't know where you get your sources, but they suck.
Yeah, they suck.
Like, if you were to give those sources a rating, they'd be at something like 7%. These people hate facts. They hate truth. It's why when asked why only half of the Epstein files have been released, they respond
with, The Dow is over 50,000.
Seeking the truth is not anti-American. Holding our elected officials to account is not anti-American. And pointing out the administration's lies and falsehoods and blatant hypocrisies is not anti-American. It is necessary, not to mention a foundational element of our democracy. As foundational as
One language, American.
Sure.
