1:00Now Playing324. Commander Scott Kelly. Musk Called His Brother a Traitor. The Brothers Hit Back. Choose Your Fighter: Elon vs Kelly x2. SpaceX’s Big “Rescue” Mission. Trump Wants Zelensky Out. More Vets Fired. Now They’re Coming for Teachers. VA Sec’s Manipulation.
They’ve faced some of the most extreme challenges human beings have ever faced. They’ve gone through trainings that are specifically designed to make people fail–and they succeeded. They’ve watched the sun rise from the stratosphere and have spent more time in outer space than most people spend outside.
And now they’re being attacked by a deranged billionaire. For bravely visiting Ukraine to get a first hand assessment of the situation.
In last week’s episode you heard from Navy vet, Astronaut and Arizona Senator Mark Kelly. Immediately after appearing on the podcast, he and his brother and fellow American hero, Scott courageously went to Ukraine to show American support. Even as Trump pulled our intelligence sharing and blasted Zelensky. It was a dangerous and historic trip that created a huge political fight and a roar of reactions.
And now you can hear about all of it in our EXCLUSIVE interview with American hero, Navy vet and legendary NASA Commander Scott Kelly (@StationCDRKelly).
Hear what it’s like on the ground in Ukraine, what it’s like in space, and what it’s like to be called a traitor by the world’s richest man. And hear what the non-political Kelly brother thinks about politics–and why he’s an independent American.
It’s another high impact episode you can’t afford to miss. Host Paul Rieckhoff is bringing the heat, as he rips through all of the latest national security headlines. From DOGE’s attacks on veterans, to teachers being next up in the crosshairs, to March Madness basketball, when times are as crazy as these, you can’t afford to miss a minute.
