00:00What was the point of Pete Hegseth's press briefing?

00:04Was it to take off the press or was it to show what the U.S. military managed to achieve

00:10during these strikes over the weekend because he really went for the media in the U.S.?

00:17Well, probably a little bit of both, actually.

00:22There have been reports in the media that, oh, well, the strike wasn't that big.

00:39There are enemies of the administration domestically that seek to minimize,

00:47whether you like it or not, the effect of the B-2 mission to Iran.

01:53Did I see you sent?
