Description

Pete Hegseth has issued a new policy to keep seasoned and professional reporters out of the Pentagon, and his fixer says it just uses "more words to say the same thing" as one a federal judge just struck down.  The New York Times called that "the definition of contempt," but will a federal judge act? The Freedom of the Press Foundation's Seth Stern discusses with Adam Klasfeld of All Rise News.

If they would start throwing some of these people in jail some of this foolishness would stop or at least be curtailed.

Evidence of contempt. Threats of contempt. When will there be contempt of Court? It's ridiculous.

Until judges ACT instead of THREATENING, Trump's DOD, DOJ and other agencies will NOT CHANGE!!!

He should've been jailed a long time ago like when he bombed those people on the boats. Contempt doesn't mean anything to these goons

No one ever holds anyone from this regime in contempt. It’s disgusting.
