1:00Now Playing318. Dan Lamothe. Hegseth is Confirmed. J6 Insurrections Go Free & Commit Crimes. Trump’s Hiring Freeze Slams Vets at VA. 82nd and 10th Mtn Troops to the Border. Hamas Releases More Hostages. Trump and Hegseth Target Gen Milley. RFK is Still Ridiculous.
This is what blowing things up looks like. Radical, damaging and confusing for millions. With so much unnecessary stress on regular Americans. This is what chaos looks like. This is what mayhem looks like. This is what Trump 2.0 looks like.
As the country struggles to grapple with the chaotic transition your host Paul Rieckhoff rips into all of it. From Pete Hegseth’s confirmation and the lack of resistance from the Democrats to the next on the chopping block, resident kook RFK Jr. and his antivax nonsense. None of it is normal and none of it makes us safer.
And with the military and the pentagon squarely in the crosshairs, we’ve got the perfect guest to help break it all down. The Washington Post’s Dan Lamothe (@DanLamothe) is one of the best military and Pentagon reporters in America. He has written about the US Armed Forces for more than a decade, traveling extensively, embedding with each service, and covering combat in Afghanistan numerous times. He’s a voice of clarity in the turbulent times and this conversation will leave you smarter, better informed and there’s no spin, no agenda, no bullshit.
