3:08Now PlayingParanoid Pete / Pentagon Bans Every Journalist Except MAGA Media
Hawk discusses an extraordinary moment in American media and government oversight as the Department of Defense revokes the press credentials of every major U.S. news outlet—except two far-right organizations, One America News and The Federalist. In this episode, Hawk examines how this decision, reportedly driven by Pete Hegseth’s paranoia and erratic leadership, marks the first time in U.S. history that the Pentagon has barred the entire press corps.
Hawk focuses on the implications of having no independent journalists inside the Pentagon—the largest military institution in the world—and what it means for transparency, democracy, and accountability. He highlights how internal chaos, leaks, and mistrust have shaped this decision and what it reveals about the current state of government control over the media.
Through sharp political insight and signature humor, Hawk unpacks why this unprecedented move should concern anyone who values free press and democratic institutions.
