Pete Hegseth EMBARRASSES HIMSELF in Congressional Testimony! - Glenn Kirschner



Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth completely embarrassed himself during his congressional testimony with laughably transparent, inconsistent statements about the need to have launched a war against Iran.

As our friends to the north - the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation - put it in their headline: "Hegseth accused of lying to the American public about war in Iran during intense congressional hearing."

This video discusses the absurd inconsistency of Hegseth saying the United States "completely obliterated" Iran's nuclear program and capabilities with US strikes in 2025, but then saying we had to go to war 60 days ago because the nuclear threat Iran posed to the US was "imminent." - Glenn Kirschner - 05/02/2026.
