Hegseth PANICS As Leak Exposes EVERYTHING

This right here is truly one of the most disgusting leaks I've seen from the Trump administration. I think every American probably feels the same way or you will feel that way after we go through this story. It's something that you should absolutely know about and it's part of the ongoing cover-up that the Trump administration is engaging in. Specifically, Donald Trump, Pete Hegseth, Marco Rubio, JD Vance, all those guys are participating in this. We are now learning that more US troops have died in the Iran War than the Pentagon has disclosed publicly. Hegseth is out there saying that the war has gone great. Donald Trump is out there saying that the war has gone great. Meanwhile, there are Americans dying that the Pentagon has not confirmed. So we're going to get into this story. We're going to talk about this exclusive from the Washington Post. Please make sure to subscribe down below, drop a like on the video, comment, let me know what you think about this story, and let's be clear about something before we get started. This is not the first time that Pete Hegseth has been caught covering something up. We know that they've also withheld dozens of US military injuries in the Iran War. And check out some of these numbers. In the week leading up to the Iranian attack, this was back in July, by the way. In the week leading up to the Iranian attack on Friday that killed two US soldiers and left one service member missing in Jordan, Iran carried out three other strikes against US forces in the country. Those attacks injured dozens of US service members and damaged several helicopters according to several US officials who spoke anonymously. The Pentagon did not disclose the earlier strikes nor the casualties and the damage they inflicted, later on Monday on social media. Its chief spokesman said that the number of US military casualties from Iranian strikes in July 7th has raised to nearly 100. So this is not new for Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth. They've done this in the Iran War. They continue to do it in the Iran War because Donald Trump doesn't want the numbers going higher. He will not honor our fallen service members, by the way, who are fallen because of a war that we did not have to be in that he got us into because he doesn't want the numbers to go up. So it is appalling, it is disgusting, it is everywhere you can possibly think of. So let's get into it. This is from the Washington Post and Pete Hegseth. I'm going to show you his response in just a moment has already raged about the report. More American service members have died in the Middle East during the ongoing war with Iran than the Pentagon has disclosed according to six US officials familiar with the Defense Department's internal casualty accounting data. Five of the officials said there have been at least 22 military fatalities, which is four more than what appears in the Pentagon's public database. Right now it's 18, according to these officials, it's 22, a six official who, like others, spoke anonymously said 23 service members have died since February 28th when the Trump administration in concert with Israel initiated the Iran War. Not all of the undisclosed deaths are directly tied to the conflict, but have involved US personnel who were in the Middle East amid ongoing hostilities. The person said additionally, the official said three US contractors who were based in the region have died since combat operations began, bumping numbers just generally in this war up even further. As a Friday, the Pentagon's DCAS database lists 18 US military fatalities, including deaths caused by hostile and non-hostile action dating to the start of the Iranian conflict. Like, think about this for a second. I always have to pause when I read stories about this because it's so easy to get numb to the many different scandals, leaks that come out about the Trump administration every day. It's really easy to just like have them be brushed over in the constant 24/7 news cycle. Donald Trump is covering up the deaths of American service members. This is a man who has never touched a uniform. None of his family members have ever touched a uniform. Matter of fact, Donald Trump has dodged the draft five times. He doesn't know what it means to serve. He has no concept of what that is, and he has no idea what it means to honor those who have served and continue to serve. And so he's focused on the politics. He's saying, "I don't want the numbers to be 22 or 23 according to that six official. Let's keep it where it is." And Pete Hegseth is right there. I mean, he's the head of the Pentagon. He's right there in covering this up. Details surrounding the undisclosed deaths, including the service members' identities, as well as when, how, and where they died, remain unclear. Officials familiar with the higher-casualty number expressed frustration that the additional loss of life is not reflected in the Pentagon's public-casualty portal, as I think every American should be. The Pentagon declined to address questions about the accounting discrepancy, but Pete Hegseth made sure to issue his response on social media, saying, "This is disgusting and fake. A complete lie, shame on the Washington Post, there worse than the Iranian state media." That is how our government is responding to concerns that they are covering up the deaths of American service members by ranting and raving on social media. Notice how there is no debunking in here. Pete Hegseth does not provide any receipts, any facts or reports, or anything backing up his claim here that it's a lie, it's completely fake and it's disgusting. He doesn't provide any of that. He just rants at the Washington Post and hits them with a, "Well, you're no better than Iranian state media," which almost is like a confirmation from this administration. Whenever Trump does that same thing, he insults a reporter, it ends up being true. And that's why, you know, this is part of the many different reasons, but one of the many reasons is to why Hegseth is on the verge of getting impeached. Democrats recently had the votes to impeach Pete Hegseth, and then in response, what did Mike Johnson do? He immediately canceled all congressional votes until after the midterm elections. That's what he did. There is a top-down cover-up in this government where they all kind of look out for each other. You know, Mike Johnson has Pete Hegseth's back. Hegseth has the back of Donald Trump and JD Vance and Mike Johnson and all these different Republicans. It's a top-down cover-up of like a "you scratch my back, I scratch yours," and that is not the way the government should be working. But it is the way that this government, under Donald Trump and these Republicans, is working, and that is really concerning. But the good news is, is that, well, they can protect each other, they can engage in this cover-up, and we can get the reporting after it's already happened, and we'll talk about it on the show when we get it. The good news is, the American people see this for what it is. And that's why Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump and all of these different officials are completely underwater when it comes to their approval ratings. For example, this is Harry N10, CNN chief data analyst breaking down just how unpopular Pete Hegseth is. And this is not good for him. Where is Hegseth's popularity right now? You know, we start off the title slide asking, "Who hates Hegseth?" And basically, everyone, if you're in the American public, no wonder, no wonder the speaker sent everybody home because just take a look here, okay, Hegseth's not approval, you know, back before the Iran War started back in January of 2026, right? It was minus nine points. You think that's, though, look at this. He's more than twice as unpopular, nearly three times as unpopular now in his net approval rating, minus 25 points. How about among independence? You think that minus nine is about minus 20 before the war started? You think that minus 20 is about minus 43 points among independence now. No wonder, no wonder, no wonder, speaker Johnson did not want his Republicans representatives to actually have to vote on this because if they voted with the president, they'd be voting against the American public because the bottom line is, Pete Hegseth is hated by basically everyone. I just got lined up with other defense secretaries, though. Yeah, okay. So, you know, all of a sudden, the wheels started turning. The wheels started turning. I went into the spreadsheets, Kate Baldwin. I said, "How does this compare to other defense secretaries?" And you know what? Go back 20 years ago because that's really the only comparative case. Look at this. Okay. There are secretaries of defenses. This minus 25 points for Pete Hegseth. You know who that matches? That matches Donald Rumsfeld back in October of 2006, just before that midterm elections in which Republicans were absolutely crushed. Of course, he was dealing with the Iraq War. These are the two who are tied for the second lowest and then Donald Rumsfeld just after that midterm election in which Republicans lost both the House and the Senate. That is the all-time low. Pete Hegseth ain't there yet, but he's certainly on the road to an all-time low based upon this Donald Rumsfeld comparison, and that is not a comparison that Republicans can possibly like. Look, I'm going to be honest. I don't think there's any area of which you want to be compared to Donald Rumsfeld. But if you're thinking like, "Torally, like, how is my party going to do?" Especially not like, "Torally." You do not. Your numbers should not be really, you know, in line with Donald Rumsfeld. And that's exactly where Pete Hegseth is sitting. And the thing is, it's not only the American people who don't respect him, who don't trust him, who no longer want him in the job. It's his own subordinates. I mean, there's been a lot of leaks within this Pentagon. There's been a lot of conversation about people not liking Pete Hegseth, about it being completely utter chaos behind the scenes. But Pentagon Pete's staff has now been mocking his wife, his wife and his family with brutal nicknames. Now, I'm not one to go after somebody's family. I try to stay away from that kind of stuff in politics. That's just not who I am. But this is pretty bad, his own staff. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is being mocked by his own Pentagon staff, who have reportedly given his wife a brutal new nickname. Hegseth met his third wife, Jennifer Roche, 49, when she was a producer on Fox and Friends. And he was co-hosting the show in 2017. The pair starred in Affair that year. At the time, Hegseth was married to his second wife, with whom he has three children. Hegseth and Jennifer had a daughter in 2017, the same year, dearing filed for divorce after marrying in 2019. Jennifer took Hegseth's surname. Jennifer Hegseth has inserted herself into her husband's professional life sitting on high-stake meetings of the Pentagon, and even appearing with Donald Trump in the Oval Office last month. Now, an explosive new report claims that Pentagon insiders are not only leaking about Hegseth's faltering capabilities, but also reveal a telling nickname for his wife. After allegedly rupping them the wrong way, staffers are calling Jennifer Yoko Ono behind her back. Quote, "Now, there's a woman with an extremely tight leash on the man that she's married according to The Daily Mail. The nickname is a dated reference to Japanese artist and musician Ono, whose protective behavior and major personal influence over John Lennon, saw her blamed for the breakup of the Beatles. So quite a throwback nickname there for Pete Hegs' wife, but that's what his own subordinates are calling him. And also, Congressional Republicans don't even want Pete Hegs' wife to be here. He had Republican Senator Tom Tillis calling for the removal of him, saying he needs to go whether it's impeachment or the most expedient route is just the president replacing him. So he wants him gone, Congressional Republicans want him gone, and I think the dagger for Pete Hegs' wife will inevitably be the fact that Donald Trump is not coming to save him. Now, we can know this for a number of reasons. History tells us this. Whenever a member of the Trump administration or somebody around Donald Trump is in trouble, what does he do? Well, you know, I didn't know them that well, you know, I didn't know about any of this. He was doing this completely separate for me. Donald Trump is quick to throw them under the bus. Donald Trump is quick to save himself and let them drown in the deep oceans. And I imagine that what that's what Trump is going to do when Hegs' wife inevitably has to come in and testify about many of these things. And Democrats hopefully, fingers crossed, knock on wood, take control of Congress back again. And I'm hoping for the House and the Senate. But we know that Donald Trump also has kind of a rocky relationship with him despite publicly claiming that it's great. We know that back in August, Donald Trump kind of lashed out at Pete Hegs' wife for lying to him about the munitions stockpile and how depleted it is right now. And then back in May of this year as well, Donald Trump called the Pegs' wife into the Oval Office into the White House to scold him for his behavior at the Pentagon. So a lot of stuff going on behind the scenes. But the main thing I wanted to talk about in this story is the fact that this administration is covering up the deaths of American service members. They do not care about them. They do not want to think about them. And that is appalling to me as an American. And I imagine it is to you at home as well. So look, I will leave the video there.
