Overview
- On her SiriusXM show Monday, Kelly said the broadcast inserted a voiceover about Benjamin Netanyahu pulling the U.S. into war before cutting to Pete Hegseth’s reply.
- The unedited interview shows correspondent Major Garrett asked Hegseth to respond to 'America First' critics, naming Kelly, Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens and Marjorie Taylor Greene.
- Hegseth’s response emphasized that President Trump puts American interests first and cited longstanding Iranian threats and attacks.
- Kelly attributed the edit to what she called a pro-Israel slant under CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss.
- CBS did not immediately comment, and the online posting of the full interview required by a 2025 Paramount settlement enabled the comparison.
