This week, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth summoned hundreds of U.S. military leaders to Washington. \u201cIt\u2019s not clear what the purpose of this fairly unprecedented meeting is,\u201d the editor in chief of The<\/em> Atlantic<\/em>, Jeffrey Goldberg, said last night on Washington Week With The Atlantic<\/em>. Panelists joined him to discuss the meeting, as well as new press-access rules at the Pentagon.<\/p>\n To have hundreds of generals and admirals from all over the world in the same room, pulled off key battles and front lines, \u201cposes a huge security risk,\u201d Nancy Youssef, a staff writer at The<\/em> Atlantic<\/em>, said last night. \u201cIt\u2019s reasonable to ask if it really stops there, or whether this is part of a broader effort to let them know the expectations of them going forward under this administration.\u201d<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Hegseth has announced new restrictions that could limit journalists\u2019 access to the Pentagon. \u201cIf journalists can\u2019t ask questions\u2014which is exactly what [the administration is] trying to get the Pentagon press corps to sign on and do\u2014how are you ever to know what these kinds of massive unprecedented meetings are about?\u201d Ali Vitali, the host of Way Too Early<\/em> on MSNBC, asked last night.<\/p>\n Joining Goldberg to discuss this and more: Vitali; Stephen Hayes, the editor of The Dispatch<\/em>; Karen Tumulty, a chief political correspondent at The Washington Post<\/em>; and Nancy Youssef, a staff writer at The Atlantic<\/em>.<\/p>\n Watch the full episode here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This week, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth summoned hundreds of U.S. military leaders to Washington. \u201cIt\u2019s not clear what the purpose of this fairly unprecedented meeting is,\u201d the editor in chief of The Atlantic, Jeffrey Goldberg, said last night on Washington Week With The Atlantic.
