Did y' all see it? Listen to this. On day nine of the war, the incompetent Pete Hegseth guaranteed Iranian surrender. On day 14, he claimed Iran's military had been destroyed. On day 40, he said every single objective had been achieved. That was four months ago. They've lied non stop about this war like they lie about everything. And they know they're lying, but they lie and they keep lying anyway. (07:26–07:32)
