    Navy Commander Confronts Hegseth over Iran Disaster

    Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's handling of the Iran war is falling apart under scrutiny and we're breaking down exactly how. Since the war began on February 28, 2026, Hegseth has gutted civilian-harm oversight, presided over a school strike that killed more than 150 people with zero accountability months later, contradicted his own claims about Iran's nuclear program in front of Congress, and been publicly contradicted by his own troops after downplaying an attack on a U.S. base. Retired Navy Commander Bobby Jones lays out the receipts on which the SECDEF should be judged. Visit https://meidasplus.com for more!

    Trump Implodes at NATO Summit

    Ken Harbaugh breaks down Trump's chaotic performance at the NATO Summit in Ankara — from confusing Zelensky for Putin to threatening Greenland while attacking allies who refused to back a disastrous war with Iran. He then talks with retired Army Brigadier General Leela Gray, who is challenging Anna Paulina Luna in Florida, about the damage Trump and Hegseth are doing to the military.

    I've seen enough...

    Ken Harbaugh argues that Graham Platner never should have made it this far — the sexual assault accusations against him are credible, and it's long past time for him to leave the Maine Senate race. He's joined by veteran and anti-extremism researcher Kris Goldsmith to unpack the red flags they saw well before this week's news.

    US Navy Pilots Rebuke Trump

    A US Air Force major, Jason Watson, was arrested at the US Capitol after delivering a speech calling for the impeachment and removal of President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance. He had spoken at a Removal Coalition press conference while in uniform and identifying himself as an active-duty service member, an event also attended by Democratic Rep. Al Green. Capitol Police confirmed the arrest, citing rules that prohibit public demonstrations on the House steps unless accompanied by a member of Congress. Anthony Davis reports.

    Americans Rebuke Trump on 250th Anniversary

    Ken Harbaugh marks a July 4th shadowed by a hollowed-out MAGA spectacle on the National Mall, arguing that real patriotism is happening far from the president—in backyards and public squares across the country. He sits down with Governor Wes Moore to unpack what it truly means to love America: not blind celebration of what it is, but a commitment to what it can still become.

    Trump Attacks Come Back to Haunt Him as Vets Speak Out

    Most Americans don't picture women like Maura Sullivan and Rebecca Bennett when they picture a military veteran. Hell Cats exists to change that. In this premiere, two women veterans whose lives have run on strikingly parallel tracks — a Marine and a Navy helicopter pilot, both ROTC, both deployed, both moms — start telling the stories of women who served, led, and kept serving long after they left the uniform. The two go back further in spirit than in time: "We've had parallel lives, basically," Rebecca says — same ROTC start, same path into the military, same MBAs, same young kids at home. The first time they really compared notes, Maura's reaction said it all: "How did we not meet earlier?" This first conversation digs into Maura's journey — from a public-school kid who'd never seen a woman in the military, to a Marine officer who volunteered to deploy to Fallujah, to a presidential appointee fighting to fix veterans' health care, and beyond — with Rebecca pulling the thread as someone who's walked the same road.
