00:00Fox host hits back at MAGA loyalists.
00:03Fox News anchor.
00:05Brett Beyer defended the network after MAGA supporters criticized its protest of the Pentagon's
00:10new press rules.
00:11Several news outlets are protesting the Pentagon's new press policy.
00:15Several news outlets, including Fox, are protesting a policy announced by Secretary of Defense
00:19Pete Hegseth, which the Pentagon Press Association called an unprecedented message of intimidation.
00:26The policy requires journalists to seek authorization before obtaining or soliciting any information
00:31from the Defense Department.
00:33The Pentagon has warned that violating the rules could be considered a criminal act and
00:37would not be protected under the First Amendment.
00:39Nearly all outlets have declined to comply with the new restrictions, which Beyer detailed
00:48on Fox News' special report.
00:50I covered the Pentagon for six and a half years.
00:52I covered the White House for four years, he said.
00:55I covered the Pentagon.
00:57And we knew not to?
00:59Walk into the tank, and the classified areas are off-limits.
01:03We obviously were always trying to get the story from different elements.

01:10Beyer noted the boundaries reporters are expected to follow.
01:13Beyer noted the strict boundaries journalists have always followed.
01:16At the White House, I never walked into the Oval Office or the Situation Room.
01:21These are stipulations that essentially are changing the dynamic about how to get information,
01:25and how they disseminate information.
01:27Beyer responded to some of the online backlash.
01:30Beyer responded directly to some of the online backlash.
01:34One ex-user wrote,
01:35News agencies don't get unfettered access to military intelligence.
01:38Don't care who you are.
01:40Beyer replied,
01:41Never did.
01:42But, thanks.
01:43Another user commented,
01:45Sorry, Fox News, no one should have unfettered access to classified areas.
01:50Press restrictions make sense.
01:51I was shocked to learn they didn't already exist.
