The treatment of our Navy personnel by the piss poor planning of Admiral Cooper is damn near treasonous. Expecting resupply to come from Bahrain during active engagement is incompetent leadership. Just another example of the utter inability of Hegseth to do the job of the Defense Secretary. Either send him back to FOX or better yet send him to prison for malfeasance.

Or, just send him to Iran and let them deal with him as only they know how to do. His karma is long overdue.

Enjoy your content but VERY disappointed to hear you advertising a “liver cleanse” called dose. The ad implies that it’s special because it’s a liquid (?) and is supported by “randomized controlled trials”. If you look on their website, one of those studies involves 130 participants, 61% of whom reported some level of improvement in a liver enzyme. No details given but this is not a meaningful or significant result as presented. Your liver doesn’t need cleansing and I hope you won’t lend your credibility to this sort of MAHA-level wellness grifter BS in the future.

Thanks for reading.

Hi, I host the conversations. I don’t work the ads. Will pass your comment on to those that do. Have a great weekend and thank you for taking time to watch and comment.

It is frightening what Hegseth is doing. In his ignorance he has passed conservative into seriously reactionary actions. His whole bizarre concept of “warriors” seems frozen with Hollywood Rambo and Conan the Barbarian, when drone advancement demands highly skilled and intelligent developers and operators. He is deliberately crippling our total military services by his firings. And he is promoting fear in the system because he is himself a fear-based man. He is single-handedly offering America up to our first real attacker, China or Russia.

I didn't have an ad. Mine was "ad free". Am I missing something?

American Nuremberg trials: Trump, Hegseth, Vance, Miller, Vought, Patel guilty of high crimes, war crimes and treason = execution / rest of Trump's admin, cabinet & MAGA senators & congress implicated & found guilty = prison sentences (many of them life sentences). NOTHING LESS FOR ALL OF THESE VILE, EVIL, POS SCUMBAGS!!!

I wholeheartedly agree. Furthermore, all Trump family and cronies assets must be seized and returned to the US Treasury, to include forensic investigations into all offshore accounts and contracts. Any candidate that promises good old Roman damnatio memoriae of all things Trump has my vote. Overturn everything he's done and demolish anything he's built or slapped his name on. I'm 61, and hope to never see his face or hear his voice for the rest of my days.

I hope Hung Cao does not confirm. We did not vote for his policies in VA. His ads were pathetic. Just another Trump puppet!

Hi Joe watching the recording from Canada where it's still Lake Ontario on Saturday. Thanks for that great interview with Greg Jaffe. Hegseth basically wants to get rid of anyone who actually knows more about the military, how it's suppose to work and people respect them while he cosplays being a tough military leader. I can see a decline in people joining the military and people leaving when their time is up and they're able to leave. Hegseth is a dangerous joke.

Well said. I served with many fine Canadians in Afghanistan and am so embarrassed how our government is treating your country today. Know many of us are working hard to change that.

Donald Trump said today the war with IRAN is just Small Potatoes. The USA has lost 18 Soldiers and over 700 have been injured, Billions of Dollars, the USA has lost our Friends we had under Joe Biden, And all the WEAK, and Creep Donald Trump wants is to play with Trump's new play mate Nataie Harp. Donald Trump is brainless, and at 80 years old all Donnie can do with his new playmate is rub her with his hands, and WISH!

Greg Jaffe is old school in his expectations that ground troops can have a positive effect. War is fought now by drones, unmanned submersible and missiles just like General George foresaw. Lose Hegseth and install George as the Secretary of Defense ( I refuse to call it Secretary of War).

Resupply is totally possible. I lived near the mothball fleet in Suisun Bay in Northern California. Stripper fished near the anchor chains often over the course of 20 years. Several of those ships were maintained to a level that they could be easily used to do resupply from Diego Garcia to the blockade in the Arabian Sea. They are not ready for being on the fighting line, but they could be useful in provisioning duty. There must be enough military personnel to reactivate those vessels as a provisioning fleet. Just saying.

What is happening should concern all of us. The man is weakening the country and make looking inferior to the rest of the world. This net work gives us detailed and factual information. It’s valuable so it deserves our support in every way to make it stronger and stronger. Nothing but blessings and appreciation.
