Pete Hegseth Hosting Paul Brothers at Pentagon Raises Eyebrows
The Department of Defense shared video of the brothers meeting service members and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
- Last Thursday, YouTube stars and professional fighters Logan Paul and Jake Paul visited the Pentagon to address United States military personnel, with the Department of Defense sharing footage of the brothers meeting Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
- WWE's association with the Trump administration since 2025 provided context for the visit, as the Defense Department has increasingly leveraged relationships with celebrities and influencers to reach audiences.
- Addressing service members, Jake Paul told troops, "That's what God created us for, is to lift each other up in the hard moments," while Logan Paul emphasized their role in preserving freedom; the brothers also paid respects at the Pentagon's 9/11 memorial.
- Jake Paul met with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent during the Washington trip, which the brothers funded themselves; Bessent praised Jake Paul's career path as "a distinctly American story" in a social media post on September 18.
- Critics quickly questioned the Pentagon video, posted hours after Trump threatened to "blow the entire nation up," with writer Jim Stewartson arguing the optics of promoting "grifting Youtubers vlogging from the Pentagon" were inappropriate amid escalating military tensions.
