00:00Hegseth responds to Washington Post report.

00:03Another Sunday, another round of pearl clutching from ABC News and the Washington Post.

00:08This time, Jonathan Karl and Martha Raddatz are sounding alarms over War Secretary Pete Hegseth,

00:14who allegedly approved a second strike on narco-terrorists,

00:17the same groups flooding America with lethal drugs and operating with military-grade logistics.

00:23Let's be clear, Hegseth isn't accused of targeting civilians.

00:26These were traffickers tied to designated terrorist organizations.

00:30Yet Karl and Raddatz breathlessly repeated a WAPO narrative claiming two traffickers

00:35who survived the initial strike were clinging to wreckage and may have been targeted again.

00:40Raddatz dramatically asked, did those two men pose an imminent threat?

00:44As if cartel operatives, even injured ones, suddenly stop being dangerous.

00:49These networks use encrypted comms, GPS tracking, and drones.

00:53They don't become harmless because they're wet.

00:55But ABC's Global Affairs desk, staffed by people who've never faced an armed adversary,

01:00insists America's warriors should worry more about legal phrasing than national security.

01:05Karl didn't even interview Hegseth for the segment.

01:08Instead, Hegseth responded on X, slamming the story as

01:12fabricated inflammatory and derogatory reporting to discredit our incredible warriors protecting the homeland.

01:18His strategy isn't rogue freelancing.

01:21It's established Trump-Vance policy centered on lethal, kinetic strikes against operatives actively trafficking drugs.

01:28Deterrence works only when the enemy knows the U.S. will follow through.

01:32That's why the media is melting down.

01:34Hegseth embodies what they can't control, unapologetic patriotism, mission clarity, and zero tolerance for enemies of the state.

01:44So they pivot to questions about legality, optics, and consulting lawyers, as if cartels care about the Geneva Conventions.

01:51The truth is simple.

01:53The media isn't upset that narco-terrorists were hit.

01:55They're upset someone in Washington is finally taking action without asking their permission.

02:00While they dramatize, America's warriors handle real threats, and most Americans are perfectly fine with that.
