This week, Secretary of Protection Pete Hegseth summoned a whole lot of U.S. army leaders to Washington. “It’s not clear what the aim of this pretty unprecedented assembly is,” the editor in chief of The AtlanticJeffrey Goldberg, stated final evening on Washington Week With The Atlantic. Panelists joined him to debate the assembly, in addition to new press-access guidelines on the Pentagon.
To have a whole lot of generals and admirals from all around the world in the identical room, pulled off key battles and entrance traces, “poses an enormous safety danger,” Nancy Youssef, a workers author at The Atlanticstated final evening. “It’s cheap to ask if it actually stops there, or whether or not that is a part of a broader effort to allow them to know the expectations of them going ahead beneath this administration.”
In the meantime, Hegseth has introduced new restrictions that might restrict journalists’ entry to the Pentagon. “If journalists can’t ask questions—which is strictly what (the administration is) making an attempt to get the Pentagon press corps to signal on and do—how are you ever to know what these sorts of large unprecedented conferences are about?” Ali Vitali, the host of Means Too Early on MSNBC, requested final evening.
Becoming a member of Goldberg to debate this and extra: Vitali; Stephen Hayes, the editor of The Dispatch; Karen Tumulty, a chief political correspondent at The Washington Publish; and Nancy Youssef, a workers author at The Atlantic.
