0:56Now Playing333. Senator Ruben Gallego. Is He Running for President? Hegseth Firing 20% of Generals. Mike Waltz is Out. Our Apologies to Canada. SCOTUS Upholds Trump’s Trans Purge. Even Trump Won’t Cut VA’s Budget. 9/11 Health Program Attacked. AGAIN. Go Knicks!!!
This show is dedicated to helping elevate the heroes and the helpers. And to identifying the people in our government and political arena that don’t live up to either of those descriptions. From the consistent cruelty of the Trump administration's attacks on our values and, now, our allies, to our national security being continually degraded by the gutting of the Pentagon ranks, the volume of outrageousness is increasing and the hits keep coming.
But every once in a while, even in Washington, there is a brave and bold individual willing to stand up for what’s right. If you’ve listened to the show you know that the Democrats will not save you. But that doesn’t mean they can’t help. That they can’t be a part of the solution. And that’s what today’s guest wants to do.
Senator Ruben Gallego (@RubenGallego) hails from the great state of Arizona. He served as a Marine, as a Congressman and now he’s a Senator—and his ambitions might even extend beyond that horizon. But for now, he’s taking a stand and making an impact. And most importantly, he’s fighting back. Against Trump, and for veterans and the good people of his state.
And before the conversation starts, Paul Rieckhoff’s gonna take you on a fun and illuminating walk through historic Union Square in NYC to run through the latest chaos at Pete Hegseth’s Pentagon, Trump firing Mike Waltz and crapping in Canada, the Supreme Court ruling on the trans purge, RFK Jr messing up healthcare for 9/11 First Responders, VA Secretary Collins spinning, and why the surging New York Knicks can teach America a thing or two.
It’s an inspiring episode that just might leave you a little more hopeful than you were before you started. So buckle up for Episode 333 folks. And enjoy the ride.
