    Trump Forced to Comply as Ukraine Crushes Russia

    Ken Harbaugh unpacks Zelensky's delicate balancing act as MAGA warms to Ukraine's cause, and argues that forcing Putin to the table matters more than the politics of who's helping. Then, a first look at an upcoming documentary featuring Ryan Hendrickson, the former Green Beret whose organization Tip of the Spear clears landmines and unexploded ordinance from Ukrainian farmland.

    MAGA Congress Caught in Troop Scheme

    Washington will take the vote. Pete Hegseth is blocking some of the Navy's most qualified women from the top ranks, so for the first time in more than a decade, no active-duty woman is on track to make admiral. In the middle of a war, his priority is testosterone testing. And Congress just tried to cut the disability benefits earned by veterans with conditions like tinnitus and sleep apnea. Marine Corps veteran Maura Sullivan and Navy veteran Rebecca Bennett take it all on, and the throughline is simple: a country cannot demand this much sacrifice and treat what it owes in return as optional. Then they make the case for something better: rebuilding a culture of service, in and out of uniform, that could actually bring this country back together.

    Trump & Pentagon Fold as they get Caught Covering up Deaths

    Ken Harbaugh continues his conversation with Army veteran Kris Goldsmith, digging into revelations that the Pentagon quietly removed four service members from official KIA counts because their deaths occurred during a ceasefire. Together they examine why so few retired generals and admirals have spoken out against what looks like a deliberate effort to obscure the true cost of the war with Iran.

    Fed Up Navy Commander Blasts Hegseth War Demands

    Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth went before the Senate Appropriations Committee on July 21 to defend an $87.6 billion supplemental funding request for the Iran war — and left senators from both parties frustrated with the answers he gave. In this episode, Retired Navy Commander Bobby Jones breaks down some of the most contentious moments from the hearing; from the cost of the war to the demand for “straight answers”.

    Trump War Disaster Ripped to Shreds by Fed-up Vets

    Marine Corps veteran Maura Sullivan and Navy veteran Rebecca Bennett take on what leadership really means when it's responsibility for human lives — and where this administration is failing that test. The U.S. is back at war with Iran, and Congress won't take the Article I vote. The Defense Secretary is signaling that women and people of color don't belong in the military. ICE agents are killing people on American streets with no accountability. Then it gets personal — the mentors who shaped how they lead, how becoming a parent changed what responsibility means to them, and the advocates giving them hope.
