Thank you both for saying out loud what I was thinking during the hearing. Hegseth should have been gone after Signalgate. Frankly, I’ve never been more frightened by the incompetence of our DOD or our National

intelligence agencies.

this is one of the best recordings I've seen in the craziness of this Regime. Thank you for calling out the immorality...in addition to a "lack of empathy" I would call lit a "lack of humanity" and I would extend the term to every supporter of the Regime, including elected Congresspeople. That all said, my favorite new knowledge is Whiskey Tango Foxtrot!

Great discussion. Always worth our time to listen and think.

And, didn't Trump say that by "comparison" the number of deaths in this war is low. What a terrible thing for parents to hear!

....this regime of comic book villains are falsifying the actual numbers of the KIA, MIA and wounded....just like tRUMP wanted to fake the number of people that became infected or died from covid....

...."Republicans in the House passed a $1.15 trillion defense spending policy bill to give Donald Trump more money to burn in a failed, illegal war with Iran that has already cost at least $38 billion $$$$"....and most likely closer to 100 Billion $$$$....after already receiving billions and trillions of taxpayer money to fuel the enormous military budget....whereas not one dime going towards helping the american people in anyway shape or form....

Thanks Cheeto’s View Of Affordability: The Billionaire Solution

According to Cheeto affordability is not a big deal. If you’re a billionaire like Cheeto, or his close circle allies like Kushner, Witkoff, Muskrat, Theil are all billionaires, and many of his corporate clowns are billionaires. So if you’re a billionaire, like Cheeto, he doesn’t really care about affordability in other words inflation. Why should one care about affordability, inflation, gas prices, grocery prices, insurance rates etc, when you’re already wealthy?

if you’re a billionaire, why should one care about the cost of living when Americans are having trouble making ends meet? Cheeto essentially says f**k off. Affordability is a hoax.

The Nazi Republicans worked a bipartisan deal to help themselves with the midterms coming up and would partially address the affordability problem. So classic for billionaire Cheeto, he refused to sign the bill that would help the Nazis in midterms. Is that what working for WE the People looks like?

And invincible narcissist Cheeto isn’t concerned about elections since he believes he can manipulate them anyway(bit.ly/44H5dng). Throughout 2024, Trump repeatedly told rally attendees that he didn’t need their votes because he already had all the votes he needed. He’s counting on his billionaire friends like Muskrat and those he’s protecting from Epstein investigation to come through for him again. What do WE hear from Democrats? Crickets.

So critical to get these repeated reminders of all this craziness. Unbelievable but true how much crap people are swallowing---or more likely ignoring because they are not following and not yet personally affected.

Hi Ken and Bobby watching the video from Canada. Hegseth has been lying about the number of dead, wounded and the damage done since day one. Scrubbing the latest 4 dead is beyond vile and disgusting, what a slap in the face to the families, friends and fellow troops.

Thanks once again Ken and Bobby for an excellent update. So many times during the week I wish you were on to explain the insanity of the choices being made. It seems to me as though hegseth and trump act as if no War Planning has taken place over the last 40 years when I have watched experts who were in those groups back 20 years ago. They are saying they always knew the strait being closed was a factor and all of the other things you have both stated. There has never been an exit strategy and I am very fearful for our service people. The US seems to use our service members and then toss them to the side when they are done with them.

Appreciating you from Whitefish, Montana.

Blue Falcons suck. If someone’s a Blue Falcon, that means they’re letting someone else take the heat for something. Blue Falcons are the snitches of the military world. While you shouldn’t be lying to superior officers, there’s a big difference between someone following orders and someone who throws you under the bus. Also known as ‘Buddy Fuckers

And isn't there something, too, about the US sending troops to Africa - to Mali? China will see this as a grand opportunity to claw back Taiwan. The US won't be in a position to help Taiwan - and the Phillipines and Japan will be less safe.

What trump and hegs are doing goes way beyond just a lack of empathy or narcissism. These two are simply serial murderers. Apparently their followers think that is okay since the majority of their victims have brown skin.

Do you think that 30% of Americans think that what Dahmer, Gacy, Bundy did was okay?

How anyone can justify what is going on now with our military is beyond me.

You two do such a great service helping voters understand these crucial issues and how the people we elect, or are appointed by the people we elect, impact the lives of our people and honor of our country.
