Let's talk a bit about Hegseth, because we saw him today and he lashed out at the media for challenging the narrative.
00:08
But Hegseth himself was obviously a TV personality on Fox News.
00:14
Do you agree that the press should be able to release information that is of public interest,
00:19
even if it is a preliminary report, and have freedom to do so, or is this highly dangerous?
00:26
Look, what they did was highly irresponsible because they didn't even report the full extent of the intelligence.
00:34
They gave a one-sided characterization of it.
00:36
They did not admit that it was preliminary.
00:39
They did not admit that it was a low-confidence assessment.
00:42
And so it was done in a very calculated political effort to try to smear the president and try to degrade the military operation.
00:49
This was not responsible reporting by the press.
00:52
This was a political hack job masquerading as reporting on the public interest.
00:57
And so I think news outlets have a responsibility when they're dealing with classified information in the U.S. to be responsible.
01:05
We have a free press.
01:06
They are legally able to do everything.
01:08
But with that freedom comes a responsibility.
01:11
And I don't believe that they acted responsibly in this manner.
