18:14Now PlayingCarhlie Sykes & Molly Jong-Fast par over what they portray as a chaotic, politically driven approach to war and national security under Donald Trump, mocking a massive proposed Defense Department spending surge while arguing that the administration’s shifting public messaging appears calibrated to market reactions rather than clear strategy. They criticize Trump’s rhetoric about military action as performative and cruel, raise alarms about blurred norms around targeting foreign leaders without congressional authorization, and contrast the professionalism of the armed forces with what they describe as a “clown show” among top advisers. The discussion also focuses on an alleged strike on a girls’ school and the administration’s evolving denials in the face of evidence, along with concerns that AI-assisted targeting, internal government purges, and suppressed threat warnings could weaken U.S. readiness for retaliation or terrorism risks.
