[00:00:00]I want to read you what you said.

[00:00:04]Make sure I'm accurate.

[00:00:08]Here's what you said. President Trump is not like any sane leader.

[00:00:13]I'm very proud of General Milley for saying that President Trump is a total fascist.

[00:00:20]You think you're smarter than the American people. At first glance, this is presented as a dramatic Senate confrontation. But what stands out more is how strongly the moment is framed before any facts are even shown.

[00:00:34]We're immediately guided to see this as a showdown rather than a normal oversight hearing.

[00:00:40]The language of takedown and dismantling shapes the viewers expectations, turning a procedural congressional exchange into a perceived battle between two opposing forces.

[00:00:52]That framing matters because Senate hearings are usually structured technical questioning not performances of victory or defeat.

[00:01:00]But once it's packaged this way, attention shifts away from policy substance and toward who appears stronger in the exchange.

[00:01:13]You believe in open borders, don't you?

[00:01:16]I believe in the rule of law, sir. All right.

[00:01:20]And it makes you angry that President President Trump does not believe in open borders, doesn't it?

[00:01:31]Senator, I'm not here to discuss immigration policy. I'm here to discuss whether or not we use the military to enforce it.

[00:01:39]And it makes you angry that most Americans don't believe in open borders, doesn't it?

[00:01:48]Not in the slightest, sir. Again, I am not here to discuss immigration policy.

[00:01:53]Yeah.

[00:01:57]Duty, honor, respect, you talked about that Yes, Senator.

[00:02:02]>> opening statement.

[00:02:06]On uh October 14th of this year, you went on CNN.

[00:02:14]I want to read you what you said.

[00:02:18]Make sure I'm accurate.

[00:02:21]Here's what you said, "President Trump is not like any sane leader.

[00:02:27]I'm very proud of General Milley for saying that President Trump is a total fascist."

[00:02:34]To Bob Woodward, "If he is chairman of the Joint Chiefs is calling the president a fascist, I'm so proud of him for breaking that barrier.

[00:02:44]The challenge is because most MAGA Republicans, they don't understand what fascism is.

[00:02:56]The reality is that they are in fact fascists themselves."

[00:03:02]Did I read that accurate?

[00:03:04]Senator, I am happy to discuss my personal perspective with you separately at any time.

[00:03:09]That's not the purpose of the hearing today. Did I read that accurately?

[00:03:14]I believe so, yes. Yeah.

[00:03:18]You think you're smarter than the American people, don't you?

[00:03:22]Absolutely not, Senator. I am here to discuss the use of the military as part of this mass deportation.

[00:03:30]You think you're more virtuous than the American people, don't you, General?

[00:03:35]Senator, I am insulted by your comment.

[00:03:40]Duty, honor, and respect. You talked about that in your opening statement, didn't you?

[00:03:48]Yes, sir.

[00:03:50]Um Miss Miss said uh I wrote down her words.

[00:03:58]She said, "By their actions, you know what someone's character is like."

[00:04:04]Do you agree with that?

[00:04:06]Senator, for 35 years I served my country with absolute honor and distinction, and I will continue to do so.

[00:04:14]Do you agree with what Ms. Moran said?

[00:04:19]Of course.

[00:04:21]Mr. You got a few minutes left.

[00:04:26]23 seconds.

[00:04:28]Well, actually, you let uh Ms. Klobuchar go well over, so I'm assuming you'll extend me the same >> you the same minute I gave to her.

[00:04:36]>> You gave it a minute 20 at a time.

[00:04:39]You're using You're >> you like a hawk, Dick.

[00:04:42]>> [laughter] >> Mr. Melnick Mr. Reichlin-Melnick, you believe in open borders, too, don't you?

[00:04:47]>> I do not, Mr. Kennedy. Okay.

[00:04:50]Um On November 1st, 2022, you tweeted, "Both Texas and Louisiana have their knives out for black immigrants."

[00:05:05]Do you remember that tweet? I don't, but it's quite possible.

[00:05:09]>> Texans It's not only possible, it happened.

[00:05:15]You're not denying it, are you? No, I'm I'm saying I'm referring to the context.

[00:05:20]>> are you talking to? You don't know the context. Who are you talking to in about uh Who in Texas had their knives out for black immigrants? Um guessing the context, but my suspicion is it has to do the Attorney General Ken Paxton and the Attorney General of the state of Texas.

[00:05:37]>> have a name, do you? You don't have a name, do you?

[00:05:38]>> I I just said Ken Paxton. You don't have a name, do you? You just said it, didn't I just said Ken Paxton. I How about uh Louisiana? You said Louisiana has its knives out for black immigrants. Who in Louisiana were you talking about? Again, I'm I'm not certain. That was 2 years ago and as I'm sure you know, much has happened in the last 2 years. Well, did you say it?

[00:05:59]Again, I I do not remember the context.

[00:06:01]>> You said somebody had their knives out from Louisiana for black immigrants, but you don't know who they were. You just said it. Um I said the Attorney General of Louisiana and Texas and I believe this referred to uh specifically lawsuits brought and and arguments that were made in court that the arrival of Haitians and others >> but I want to get it on the record.

[00:06:21]Thank you very much, Senator. Appreciate your >> that the Attorney General at that time of Louisiana had his eyes not knives out for black immigrants. That's your testimony.

[00:06:31]>> Senator. What this segment does is move away from just describing a Senate exchange and instead turns it into a moral and political interpretation of what happened between Senator Kennedy and the general.

[00:06:45]From the beginning it's framed as more than questioning. It's described as a decisive accountability moment where Kennedy is portrayed as confronting the general with direct, uncompromising questions about immigration policy and prior public statements.

[00:07:01]One key moment highlighted is the question about open borders where the general responds by emphasizing the rule of law and declining to engage in a simple yes or no framing.

[00:07:13]In the commentary this is interpreted as avoidance. But in a real hearing context it can also reflect an effort to stay within institutional or policy boundaries rather than reduce complex issues to slogans.

[00:07:28]The segment then shifts to prior public remarks attributed to the general including criticism of political leadership and broader language about extremism which Kennedy is presented as challenging directly in the hearing.

[00:07:42]This becomes the emotional center of the exchange, where the focus moves from policy oversight to accountability for past statements.

[00:07:50]Ultimately, the framing pushes a narrative of exposure and confrontation, where Kennedy is shown as pressing for clarity and the general is portrayed as defensive.

[00:08:01]But in practical terms, what's actually happening is a familiar congressional dynamic: questioning, rebuttal, and competing interpretations of past public comments inside a highly politicized oversight setting.
