Tensions in the Strait of Hormuz continue to escalate as questions grow over whether the U.S.-led blockade is truly holding. Reports of vessels linked to China and Iran navigating the region have sparked intense debate over enforcement and control of one of the world’s most critical oil routes.

Amid this backdrop, U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth launched a fiery attack on the media during a Pentagon briefing—accusing journalists of biased, negative coverage of the war effort and even comparing them to “Pharisees” from biblical scripture

00:00As I just can't help but notice the endless stream of garbage, the relentlessly negative
00:08coverage you cannot resist peddling. Your politically motivated animus for President
00:14Trump nearly completely blinds you from the brilliance of our American warriors. The Pharisees
00:21scrutinized every good act in order to find a violation, only looking for the negative.
00:30Where's the coverage of the new spirit in the country, the new spirit in the ranks, the
00:35surge of Americans wanting to join the greatest military in the world? Nothing from the fake
00:40news. Speaking of choosing wisely, a note to the press, to the press corps, to the American
00:49media. As I just can't help but notice the endless stream of garbage, the relentlessly
00:58negative coverage, you cannot resist peddling despite the historic and important success
01:06of this effort and the success of our troops. Sometimes it's hard to figure out what side
01:13some of you are actually on. It's incredibly unpatriotic. This same press corps, not this
01:20exact same press corps, but at least an older press corps, bent over backwards during the
01:26Biden administration to explain away the disastrous and disgraceful Afghanistan withdrawal. You
01:34called it the greatest airlift in American history. It's almost like you're cheering only
01:41for one side. This past Sunday, I was sitting in church with my family and our minister preached
01:49from the book of Mark, the third chapter. And in the passage, Jesus entered a synagogue and healed
01:56a man with a withered hand. The Pharisees came to watch. And as the scripture reads, they came
02:04to see whether he, Jesus, would heal him or he would heal him on the Sabbath so that they might
02:11accuse him. You see, the Pharisees, the so-called and self-appointed elites of their time, they were
02:20there to witness, to write everything down, to report. But their hearts were hardened. Even though they
02:29witnessed a literal miracle, it didn't matter, they were only there to explain away the goodness
02:35in pursuit of their agenda. As the passage ends, the Pharisees went out and immediately held counsel
02:42against him, how to destroy him. I sat there in church and I thought, our press are just like these
02:50Pharisees. Not all of you, not all of you, but the legacy Trump hating press. Your politically motivated
03:01animus for president Trump nearly completely blinds you from the brilliance of our American warriors.
03:08The Pharisees scrutinized every good act in order to find a violation, only looking for the negative.
03:18The hardened hearts of our press are calibrated only to impugn. I would ask you to open your eyes
03:27to the goodness, the historic success of our troops, the courage of this president, and this historic
03:34moment for a deal that could end the Iranian nuclear threat. The incredible battlefield victory laid before
03:41your eyes. The not one, but two incredible rescue missions. Miracles, you might say. Or a locked-in
03:52blockade. Or how about historic recruiting numbers? Yesterday, we announced that the Air Force and the
03:58Space Force met new higher goals in FY26, five months in advance of the end of the fiscal year.
04:05Five months ahead of time. The Marine Corps and the Army will soon do the same. Two, three years ago,
04:09we couldn't meet lower recruiting numbers. Not even close. Where are the reports on that? Where's the
04:16coverage of the new spirit in the country, the new spirit in the ranks, the surge of Americans wanting
04:21to join the greatest military in the world? Nothing from the fake news. We sense a pattern.
04:29You see, on the battlefield, these are demonstrations of uniquely American capabilities,
04:34strength and resolve. It's all around you each and every day. But in the press, you only seek the
04:41negative, earning each and every day the fake news label. But the American people, with goodness in their
04:50hearts, see past the Pharisees in our press. They see the goodness. You watching, you see the goodness.
04:58They see the success. They see the reality. And they don't demand perfection. And perfection is not
05:06possible on any battlefield. But they see the incredible feats that our troops accomplish every single day.
