1:11:35Now PlayingAnd Brings Back Firing Squads—For Real. What’s a Legal Order? AI Kills 10% of Jobs at META. Pentagon Fires Stars & Stripes’ Ombudsman. GTFO ICE. Prince Harry Goes to Ukraine —Trump Craps on Him. Friday Football: Draft Weekend.
Corruption is the top topic, and it's bleeding into the ranks. A Fort Bragg Special Forces sergeant just got indicted for using classified intel to bet and win $400,000 on Polymarket about the Maduro operation he was part of. The Acting Secretary of Culture War, Pete Hegseth, is leaking on Signal, firing 21 generals, and floating "no quarter" from the Pentagon podium. Three carrier strike groups are now stacked in the Middle East. NATO allies are being threatened with suspension. And Trump is openly contemplating federal troops in Chicago, New York, and beyond. This is what a sucking chest wound looks like — and the bleeding isn't stopping. As Trump now wants to bring back firing squads for federal executions. And, the NFL draft and NBA drama.
Paul sits down with author, filmmaker, and combat journalist Sebastian Junger for a no-BS conversation about the question every American needs to be asking: will the military follow illegal orders? They walk through the murky chain — from a tactical nuke on Tehran to American troops on the streets of Cincinnati — and highlight the few critical real circuit breakers that remain. Plus the GTFO ICE campaign, the firing of the Stars and Stripes ombudsman, the 20,000 abducted Ukrainian children, and why removing Hegseth is the winnable fight right now.
