Hey, everybody, Tim Miller from the Bullwark here.

A really crazy story from our friends at Mother Jones.

I wanted to highlight for you.

It is by Dan Friedman, a good reporter over there.

And the headline of that story is, I asked the Pentagon about Pete Higgs-S mentor, then

the threat started.

This story, you know, is going to get into some sexual accusations back and forth that,

you know, we're going to need to go through to kind of understand what's happening.

But I just want you to really understand why this is such an important story, why I want

to focus on it here.

The fact that a reporter could reach out to the department, ask about a high-ranking

officials' behavior, and asking questions about their past for a profile, like, that is the right

of a reporter in this country. We have freedom of the press, we have freedom of speech,

and that this administration's response to that, those requests, has ended up being the real story here.

And this is a Department of War.

Department of War!

Department of War!

The Department of War has kicked out all of the real reporters from the Pentagon.

And it's crazy we don't like talk about this every day.

Like that North Korea, USSR style coverage of our military, at least within the Pentagon

Press Corps right now.

It's just only sycophants are allowed in there.
