The day before National POW/MIA Recognition Day, Jake and Logan Paul addressed troops gathered at the Pentagon.
From the podium, Logan Paul told those gathered that touring the building was “a cool experience.”
He added, “I don’t think there is any greater commitment to sacrifice than those who are willing to live, die and fight for their country.”
The visit was documented in a video and images posted today to the Department of Defense page on X. With swelling music, it showed smiling service members listening intently to the brothers. It also showed the duo meeting with Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.
That same day, it appears Jake Paul met with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.
In a post with photos from the visit, Bessent wrote, “Jake’s path from content creator to entrepreneur and professional boxer is a distinctly American story.”
The brothers, who are YouTube stars with experience in boxing and wrestling earlier this month landed a fight competition series at Hulu and ESPN.
The untitled series, which previously had the working title Fight Island, is a major statement from Disney and is intended to appeal to young, male audiences.
The series comes from Brent Montgomery’s Wheelhouse, which is behind series such as Netflix’s Million Dollar Secret and A&E’s Duck Dynasty reboot, and Jake Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions.
