    Ken being a vet brings a perspective so necessary for a full discussion on the issues in the world. Someone said that republicans love soldiers and hate vets. People like Ken don’t let them get away with it!

    Heard you on Steve Schmidt’s Pod.

    I served in VQ-2, EA-3’s 1981-1983.

    The pilot that set down that EP-3A Aries II in China should have been court-martial, not given a metal.

    The USN provided crews parachutes for a reason, not an option.

    The Chinese took that plane apart piece by piece. The back-end of the A-3’s and EP-3’s is top secret and has some of the most sensitive listening technology in the World.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Trump Family Scandal Just Exploded…
Q: Can you tell me a little bit more like some examples of where you see that at play?
Graeme Wood responds by detailing how the evolution of jihadist networks and the emphasis on local affiliates, as well as the strategic recalibrations by groups like the IRGC, create a landscape where threats are less centralized but potentially more diffuse and persistent.
Trump Scrambles After Making Total Mess
Q: What did you make of the visit by Kushner and Witkoff to Moscow and Kyiv?
The guest views it as naïve or counterproductive shuttle diplomacy that fails to account for the realities on the ground in Ukraine and may inadvertently empower Moscow's strategy rather than advance peace.
Trump’s Cult Movement Just Crossed a Line…
Q: Do you think if anyone asked Trump to recite just one of the beatitudes, he would even know what the question was about?
Robby Jones responds that the deep dive into moral questions shows a disconnect between political loyalty and foundational biblical teachings, arguing that many white evangelicals' actions align more with political power than with the core messages of Jesus as understood by scholars.
Trump's Nightmare Brews in Montana...
Q: What's going on in Montana that makes an independent candidacy appealing right now?
The host and guest suggest independents can bridge gaps between rural voters frustrated with both parties, highlighting issues like tariffs, rural healthcare, and the perception that the national parties overlook Montana's needs, proposing a coalition for the rest of us as a viable path.
Military Legal Expert: Trump Just Crossed a Major Line...
Q: What is the legal framing behind using military assets against narco-terrorists in international waters?
The guest argues there is no clear legal basis or congressional authorization for treating drug cartels as a conventional armed threat, meaning these strikes lack legitimate legal grounding under the law of armed conflict.
