In a Friday X post<\/a>, Newsmax host Greg Kelly ripped Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over his \u201ctrash talk\u201d amid the ongoing U.S. conflict with Iran, emphasizing that he should save that type of rhetoric for his \u201cpodcast bros.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cPete Hegseth should save his \u2018trash talk\u2019 for his Podcast Bros,\u201d wrote Kelly, host of Newsmax\u2019s Greg Kelly Reports. \u201cThe reason PROFESSIONAL WARRIORS avoid unnecessary TAUNTING of the Enemy: it can come back and Bite, HARD.\u201d<\/p>\n He continued, \u201cAnd it\u2019s the PILOTS who fly over enemy territory at Risk. I served with FOUR PILOTS who got shot down and TORTURED. Lose an engine (only one in the F-35, thanks a lot Lockheed Martin!)\u2014and they\u2019ll be the ones to answer for Pete\u2019s Rhetoric. Let General [Dan] Cain talk more.\u201d<\/p>\n During a Friday presser, seemingly using some of the rhetoric Kelly mentioned, Hegseth said<\/a>:<\/p>\n We know the new so-called not so supreme leader is wounded and likely disfigured. He put out a statement yesterday, a weak one. There was no voice and no video. It was a written statement. He called for unity, apparently killing tens of thousands of protesters is his kind of unity. Iran has cameras and voice recorders, why a written statement? I think you know why. His father dead, he\u2019s scared and injured, on the run and lacks legitimacy. It is a mess for them. Who is in charge? Iran may not even know. With every passing hour, we know and we know they know that the military capabilities of their evil regime are crumbling, they can barely community let alone coordinate. Our response? We will keep pressing, keep pushing, keep advancing, no quarter, no mercy for our enemies.<\/p>\n Last week, in an interview with 60 Minutes,\u00a0Hegseth taunted<\/a> Iranians in a response to a question on whether Russian President Vladimir Putin is providing intelligence to Iran to target U.S. forces, saying \u201cthe only ones that need to be worried right now are Iranians that think they\u2019re gonna live.\u201d<\/p>\n The post Newsmax Host Greg Kelly Rips Hegseth\u2019s Iran \u2018Trash Talk\u2019: Save It for Your \u2018Podcast Bros\u2019<\/a> first appeared on Mediaite<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Credit: Newsmax and AP Photo\/Kevin Wolf In a Friday X post, Newsmax host Greg Kelly ripped Defense Secretary…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":522949,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[57],"tags":[236,235763,88,216374,801,62930,1572,235762,103390],"class_list":["post-522948","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-enemy-territory","tag-entertainment","tag-greg-kelly","tag-iran","tag-newsmax","tag-pete-hegseth","tag-professional-warriors","tag-trash-talk"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/522948","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=522948"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/522948\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/522949"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=522948"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=522948"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=522948"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
