Podcast appearances and mentions of Pete Hegseth

This week, the “Secretary of War,” Pete Hegseth, used his platform to criticize the media’s coverage of the Iran war. He went so far as to offer rewrites of specific headlines that he disapproved of, and said that he “can’t wait” for David Ellison to take over CNN. Billionaire David Ellison is close to Trump and recently acquired CNN (as part of the Warner Bros. Discovery deal). He is expected to make CNN’s coverage more conservative, just as he did with CBS. Meanwhile, Trump’s FCC Chair, Brendan Carr, has threatened to pull the licenses of TV broadcasters who are critical of the Iran war. Join hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers, along with guest Garrison Hayes, for this segment from episode #123 that aired on 03-19-26.

President Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth are demanding “more patriotic” coverage of the widening war in Iran. On this week's On the Media, hear how the Pentagon is cracking down on its publication, Stars and Stripes. Plus, fake AI images of the Iran war are proliferating, and they're getting more convincing. [01:00] Host Micah Loewinger breaks down the calls from the Trump administration for the media to produce “patriotic” coverage of the war in Iran. Plus, a closer look at the reporting by legacy outlets with journalist Minnah Arshad.  Arshad analyzed The New York Times' early coverage of the war, and found that Iranian victims were underrepresented. Next, Micah sits down with scholar Mahsa Alimardani to discuss fake AI images of the Iran conflict, and how AI detection tools are being used to discredit authentic footage. [22:30] Micah speaks with Samantha Gross, the director of the Energy Security and Climate Initiative at the Brookings Institution, to dissect the developing energy crisis being caused by the disruption of oil exports through the Strait of Hormuz. [37:54] Host Brooke Gladstone talks to Erik Slavin, Editor-in-Chief of Stars and Stripes, the independent, award-winning newspaper that has served the military for roughly a century, about the Pentagon's plan to crack down on their reporting and refocus their content away from “woke distractions.”  Further reading / watching: “First Draft: How the Media Manufactures Consent for War,” by Minnah Arshad and Andrew Perez “How AI Content Detection is Being Weaponized in the Iran War,” by Shirin Anlen and Mahsa Alimardani “The Fake Images of a Real Strike on a School,” by Mahsa Alimardani “Why Iran's disruption of the Strait of Hormuz matters,” by Samantha Gross, Caitlin Talmadge, and Melanie W.

The U.S. is at war with the leading state sponsor of terror, and Donald Trump appointed Markwayne Mullin—a man with no counter-terrorism experience—to help defend the homeland. At the same time, Hegseth is a meathead, and the shoe designer at the top of the FBI is preoccupied with visiting all the places on his bucket list. This is the moment for Democrats to argue that Trump has made the country very vulnerable. Plus, the administration apparently did not consider worst case scenarios vis-à-vis Iran, the Iraq War planners look like pros in comparison, Denmark was seriously preparing for an American invasion of Greenland, and is Israel's conduct contributing to the growing antisemitism problem?David Frum joins Tim Miller for the weekend pod.show notes David's podcast David encouraging Dems to get to the right of Trump on the war Tim's playlist

Jen Psaki looks at some of the happy talk the Trump administration is offering about Donald Trump's war on Iran while outward signs suggest things are not going as well as they would have hoped. Senator Jon Ossoff talks with Jen about Donald Trump's handling of the war and how constituents are reacting to the economic fallout. Rep. Robert Garcia talks with Jen Psaki about questions Democrats in Congress want answered about Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner's role representing the United States in negotiations with countries he has a financial interest in, as well as a new investigation into allegations of impropriety against Corey Lewandowski. Amos Hochstein, an expert in global energy markets, explains why the mess Donald Trump has made with his war on Iran is "the worst energy crisis the world has ever seen," and talks with Jen Psaki about how it could get worse and how long it will take to fix it.

Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson, 30-year Army veteran, former Chief of Staff to Secretary Colin Powell, and Senior Fellow at the Eisenhower Media Network, discusses the deep structural rot he believes is consuming American democracy and its military empire. Drawing on his experience from Vietnam through the Iraq WMD debacle, Wilkerson argues that the United States has become a force as much for evil as for good, and that the current war against Iran represents the most reckless and dangerous expression of that trajectory yet. He traces the unravelling of legitimate statecraft from the post-Cold War squandering of peace dividends, through 9/11 and the institutionalisation of torture under George W. Bush, to what he describes as the Caligula-like presidency of Donald Trump—whom he regards as history's most brazen grifter and the architect of an illegal war of choice. Wilkerson raises urgent alarm about Pete Hegseth's injection of Christian Zionist ideology into the Pentagon's ranks, the militarisation of domestic law enforcement, the looming threat of cancelled midterm elections, and the very real spectre of a second American civil war. A searing, unflinching conversation with one of Washington's most candid and consequential insiders. Get full access to Savage Minds at savageminds.substack.com/subscribe

This week, Scott sat down with his Lawfare colleagues Benjamin Wittes, Natalie Orpett, and Ariane Tabatabai to talk through the week's big news in national security, including:“Keeping It On the Strait and Narrow.” Three weeks into the U.S. and Israel's air campaign against Iran, ship traffic through the critical Strait of Hormuz remains at a virtual stop, sending crude oil prices north of $100 a barrel. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said last week that vessels are safe to sail through the strait, but continued attacks on tankers suggest otherwise. Some neighboring Gulf states, among others, are growing antsy that U.S. strikes won't go far enough in preventing attacks by Iran. What do we make of these developments, and how will it impact how other countries are navigating the broader conflict?“‘Nein' to Five.” U.S. efforts to secure European support for efforts to reopen the Strait of Hormuz have fallen on deaf ears, with German officials describing it as “not our war” and far outside the obligations imposed by NATO's Article 5 and other defense commitments. In response, President Trump said that he was “disappointed” in NATO and once again hinted that he might exit it. It's the latest nadir in a precipitous decline in transatlantic relations over the past three months. How much worse can things get? And what could it mean for the future of the broader alliance?“(Un)Lawful Good?” A U.S. strike on what turned out to be an elementary school in southern Iran in the earliest days of the U.S. military campaign there has put a new focus on decisions by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to scale back rules and processes meant to reduce harm to civilians in armed conflict. Hegseth has called the rules of engagement “stupid” and has said he wants to give military commanders “maximum authority on the battlefield.” He's also repeatedly called for “no quarter” in Iran and other contexts—an order that, if taken literally, would itself be a violation of the laws of armed conflict. Exactly how far has Hegseth unraveled the Pentagon's rules of engagement? And what could the real world consequences be in Iran and elsewhere?In object lessons, Natalie (or rather, her son) is cooking up a delicious recommendation for the culinarily curious kid in your life with Raddish Kids (hey there, Raddish Kids, Rational Security is looking for sponsors…). Ari is feasting on (and hoarding) the indigenous Taiwanese pepper, Maqaw. Scott is traveling in style and efficiency with his portable office kit, consisting of his fave iPad case and the Anker Power Bank (while we hate to sound like a broken record, uh, hey there, Anker, Rational Security is looking for sponsors…). And hey there, girlies, Ben is doing Ben things while getting ready for court. To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

Gerry Callahan says Joe Kent torches his credibility by resigning, then immediately echoing Tucker Carlson's claim that Donald Trump is bending to Benjamin Netanyahu.  The show argues the Iran campaign is accelerating, with Pete Hegseth promising the biggest strike package yet and mocking media efforts to paint the war as a failure.  Rand Paul hijacks a Senate hearing to confront Markwayne Mullin over past remarks about the assault that left Paul seriously injured.  Callahan ridicules Gavin Newsom's California over a massively over-budget wildlife bridge built to help butterflies and mountain lions cross the 101.  The show ends on a rare uplifting note as Colin Dorgan, whose family was murdered by his father, helps Blackstone Valley win a Rhode Island state hockey title.

It's an Emmajority Report Thursday on The Majority Report.   On today's program:   An Israeli strike on Iranian facilities in the South Pars gas field marked a significant escalation in the war, prompting Iran to attack major energy facilities of its Gulf neighbors. Trump took to Truth Social to claim the U.S. had no knowledge of Israel's plans to attack South Pars but if warns if Iran continues to retaliate then he'll blow up the entirety of the oil field.   A reporter asks Pete Hegseth why we are helping Israel prosecute this war if they are going to pursue their own objectives and Hegseth had no answer. Pete then ended the press conference with a prayer - but it's Iran that is theocratic terrorist state.   Helen Yaffe, Professor of Latin American Political Economy, University of Glasgow joins Emma to discuss her book We Are Cuba!

Chris Gallant has worn many hats. A Black Hawk helicopter pilot, an air traffic controller, a volunteer firefighter, a fiancé and now he hopes to add another one - Congressman from New York's 1st district. He's 36-years-old and running in the Democratic primary for NY-1 to hopefully unseat the current Republican. As part of our Primary Watch series, focusing on the next generation of political hopefuls around the country, we chat with Chris about how his military service informs his view on the current war in Iran, Pete Hegseth's new 'standards' for the enlisted, what 'affordability' really means, and how he's tackling campaigning in a purple district.

There's nothing remotely funny about war and yet the latest utterings from The White House are so batshit, Jemma and Marina have to laugh. Because if you don't....etc. Tune in for global chaos with a side of clownery. Trump declares victory… then immediately begs the world for help. The Strait of Hormuz turns into a geopolitical panic button, NATO says “absolutely not,” and the internet says “we told you so.”Meanwhile, Pete Hegseth appears to be auditioning for Dr Seuss Does War Crimes, Marco Rubio's shoes are having their own crisis, and somehow somehow this might all be distracting from the Epstein files.As ever, the Trawl ladies trawl so you don't have to bringing you the absurd, the infuriating, and the bits that make it all just about bearable.Pudding is served up Jimmy Kimmel style - enjoy.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth recently put Scouting America — formerly known as the Boy Scouts — "on notice." The once great organization was becoming too woke, he said, and had been tarnished by embracing DEI. On this episode, we're talking to Benjamin René Jordan, author of Modern Manhood and the Boy Scouts of America, about the Scouts' surprisingly progressive history. And we ask him about the complex relationship between scouting and the military.To manage podcast ad preferences, review the links below:See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Joe Kent Resigns Over Iran. Hegseth is Losing It. More than 200 Troops Wounded Now. Drones Hit US Embassy in Baghdad. WBC: USA vs…Venezuela. QB Dante Moore Sets A Good Example on Mental Health.  On a wild and weird St. Patrick's Day, Paul Rieckhoff breaks down Trump's expanding war in Iran and his shocking talk about “taking Cuba,” and explains why once you kick a hornet's nest, the hornets—not Trump—decide when it's over. From 50,000 U.S. troops in harm's way, growing drone threats, and a widening conflict across the Middle East, to MAGA insiders breaking ranks like Joe Kent and an unraveling Pete Hegseth, Paul calls out dangerous weakness at the top, a feckless Congress, and the newest inductees into the 2026 Chickenhawk Club. No guest, no spin—just Paul, like your political pint of Guinness, giving you the independence, information and integrity you won't get anywhere else. Paul also focuses on the human cost of war: more than 200 wounded troops in seven countries, grieving Gold Star families like Cheryl Simmons, and the vital work of helpers like TAPS and Bonnie Carroll supporting survivors long after the cameras are gone. He connects that pain to a powerful story of a young quarterback opening up about depression, using his platform to fight stigma and prove that asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.  From St. Patrick's Day in New York and Dropkick Murphys on the playlist, to mental health, March Madness and a packed slate of upcoming guests like Ken Casey, General Mark Hertling, Seth Bodner, Tim Mak and more, this episode will help you stay informed, stay engaged—and stay vigilant. -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Learn more about Paul's work to elect a new generation of independent leaders with Independent Veterans of America. -Learn more about American Veterans for Ukraine here. -Learn more about The Headstrong Project for Veterans, Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS), and Department of Veterans Affairs resources in your area.

Let's talk about Hegseth, giving quarter, checklists, and questions....

President Trump told reporters he might bomb Iranian oil facilities for the fun of it, Pete Hegseth is mad at the media for accurately reporting on the war, and the president is having trouble remembering his favorite catchphrases. Tony-winners Trey Parker, Matt Stone and Robert Lopez created an obscenity-riddled Broadway musical so funny that even the Mormon Church itself got in on the joke. GRAMMY-winner Andrew Rannells shares his personal recollections about auditioning for the role of Elder Price in the original Broadway production of “The Book of Mormon,” and says audiences never get upset by the spicy lyrics.

On February 28, 2026, the United States and Israel launched an illegal attack on Iran that has ignited the Gulf Region and sent ripples throughout the world. Clearing the FOG speaks with military analyst Scott Ritter who argues that the US and Israel lost the war on the first day by targeting Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and by throwing the rules of engagement out the window, as evidenced by the double bombing of a girl's school in Minab. Ritter explains that Pete Hegseth and others are guilty of war crimes. He describes the region as being at an existential crossroads that could weaken Israel and strengthen Iran in the end.

As a second week of war slips by without Iran's promised collapse, David French, David A. Graham, and Juliette Kayyem join Harry to assess the administration's apparent unpreparedness and growing tally of grave mistakes. The group discusses the dangers that could come with a prolonged conflict and the cold comfort provided by Pete Hegseth's rant-filled briefings. Finally, they turn to the vital news being overlooked amid the war: Trump's relentless push to overhaul voter requirements and collect states' voter data ahead of the midterms.

In this interview Jimmy and Alex Jones discuss the assassination of Charlie Kirk, with Jones explaining why he's skeptical of certain theories about who killed Charlie pushed by Candace Owens—specifically the claims about Egyptian planes and Mitch Snow—while still firmly believing there is some sort of coverup about up the murder going on.  Jones clarifies he's not "compromised" by his billion-dollar Sandy Hook judgment, is still fighting in court, and simply refuses to endorse what he considers provably false information that discredits legitimate investigation.  In the face of all the inconsistencies and dubious explanations surrounding the dominant narrative, Jones acknowledges that Israel's threats against Charlie and his outspoken opposition to the Iran war make Israel a plausible suspect, but insists on following verifiable evidence rather than getting lost in rabbit holes. The conversation highlights the tension between Jones' history of skepticism toward government explanations and his current unwillingness to entertain ideas other podcasters have floated. Plus segments on Kanye West's accurate accusations against Jared Kushner and Iranian leaders dunking on Pete Hegseth.  Also featuring Kurt Metzger, Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae. And a phone call from Al Pacino!

1. In Londinium, 92 AD, Gaius and Germanicus analyze the 21st-century conflict between a US-Israeli coalition and Iran, comparing its focus on supply chains to the 1941 oil sanctions against Japan. While the Americans expected a swift "four-day shock and awe"campaign and a leadership "decap strike" to force negotiations, Iran responded with asymmetrical warfare. By targeting the Strait of Hormuz, Iran has driven oil prices toward $120-$150 per barrel, threatening a global economic collapse. Germanicus critiques the American"siren song" of strategic bombing, noting it historically fails to win wars without ground occupation. Unlike the adaptive Romans who rose from defeat during the Punic Wars, modern US leaders—including Rubio, Vance, and Hegseth—are criticized for lacking dissenting voices and the historical perspective needed to reorganize after strategic failures.

Let's talk about Hegseth saying the strait is open (it's not)....

Pete Hegseth admonishes the media for always cheering against America. Why does the media never discuss the remarkable accomplishments of the US military? Because they will criticize anything that makes Trump look strong or smart. Is the President seeing MAGA's pushback against John Cornyn? Plus a tease ahead to Hour 3 and the liberal activism of judges whose top priority is to stop Trump.

David Waldman celebrates our return on Monday the 16th after cutting up all weekend. Greg Dworkin asks, what have we done? Really? Is that the rule? Is that the goal now? We are about sick of winning and winning and winning our massive multiplayer war with Iran and just about everyone else in the world, though for some reason as our hit points go up, our health bar continues to shrink. The problem is those kind might not understand that they've lost until the mainstream media agrees to broadcast our victory dances. How many years will we have to win this thing before the world envies Trump as completely as he requires? Some suggest nukes are in order, yet few agree on where to drop them. Trump's domestic war of vengeance is going about as well, as grand juries keep refusing to charge those that the DOJ are targeting. Pete Hegseth's Fox drinking buddy Jeanine Pirro persecutes 90% of those in her path, it's not her fault no one wants to join in. On the other hand, Trump defense attorney John Lauro is sad about everyone treating his boss like a crook. What made Minnesota such a target, and what makes it a solution? Everyone should take notes. What lessons can we learn from last Tuesday's Texas primary? A New Jersey Republican is running against Trump. Democrats might get the courage to run against Bibi. It's an easy decision to run against tariffs. Jared Qushnar adds his own hustle to Middle East peace talks once he figured out that their peace was getting in the way of his profit.

This week on SUNDAY WIRE returns with host Patrick Henningsen as we chronicle the imperial train wreck of Trump's America – putting into historical context the fall of latter day Rome, and how Israel has drained the United States of its power and influence on the world stage by leading Trump on a leash into a disastrous war. Also, we raise the alarm about Trump and Hegseth's intimidation of the press and potential arrest of Tucker Carlson as a political target by a regime in Washington that's now imploding in public view. Later in the Overdrive segment, we're joined by teammates Bryan "Hesher" McClain and Adam "Ruckus" Clark, for deeper comment and analysis on this week's geopolitical development.

On this week's On the Media, the far-reaching implications of the Department of Defense's scrapping of an initiative to protect civilians. Plus, how different corners of the MAGA-verse are metabolizing the Epstein files. [01:00] Host Brooke Gladstone interviews Wes J. Bryant, a former senior policy advisor at the Pentagon and retired Air Force Master Sergeant, about the civilian protection initiative he was working on for the Department of Defense and the deadly consequences of Secretary Hegseth's decisions to close it down.

The Trump administration is preparing to deploy a Marine expeditionary unit to the Middle East along with more warships. But that development was not Hegseth's highest priority at his Pentagon briefing. His first order of business was attacking the media—even before mentioning the six fallen service members who were killed in a plane crash supporting the war in Iran. And while the administration may have finally narrowed down its reasons for launching the war alongside Israel, it hasn't discussed the risks of the operation, or why it doesn't seem to have an issue with Putin helping Iran in the fight. Plus, JD is skeptical about the war but won't tell Trump to his face, oil prices are soaring while Russia cashes in, and don't forget that the Department of Homeland Security is still down shut down while our country is at war.Tom Nichols joins Tim Miller for the weekend pod.show notes Tom on 'victory disease' in The Atlantic  French news channel with a split screen of bombs and Trump dancing Tim's playlist Tickets for our LIVE show in Austin on March 19: TheBulwark.com/Event

Nicolle Wallace covers the breaking news that a judge has derailed U.S. Attorney for DC Jeanine Pirro's case against Federal Chair Jerome Powell. Judge Boasberg wrote that the DOJ was trying to use this case against Powell to pressure him to vote for lower interest rates or to pressure him to resign, and that there was little to no evidence presented to charge Powell with an actual crime. Later, Nicolle covers new reporting that suggests that the Trump administration underestimated the consequences of Iran retaliating to strikes by closing the Strait of Hormuz, which has caused gas prices to soar nationwide.
