Podcast appearances and mentions of Pete Hegseth

“Leave aside the cruelty of not giving these funds out,” Andrew says, reflecting on the SNAP benefits case now before the Supreme Court. “What does it say that we're not prioritizing hunger as an issue?” Then, Mary brings listeners up to speed on the dizzying chain of events since Friday and where the SNAP case stands, even as the Senate and House appear to be moving towards reopening the government. And in honoring Veterans Day, Mary and Andrew dig into several issues affecting service members, including the latest filing in Trump v Illinois, and how to think about the term "regular forces", plus Judge Immergut's final order prohibiting the National Guard deployment in Portland. And finally, Just Security's co-editor in chief, Tess Bridgeman, joins to analyze what the law says— and doesn't say-- about blowing up boats in international waters without a clear justification or congressional authorization.Further reading: Judge Wolf's piece in The Atlantic: Why I Am Resigning.

It's a farm-based food access point that strengthens food security. It has operated peacefully and responsibly for four years with full community support. Closing it would set a dangerous precedent for other small farmers and local food producers across Ohio. An appeal hearing is scheduled at Sharonville City Hall on Wednesday, November 12th at 6:30pm. I'll be there. For more info, please visit Cincy Urban Farm**Group Directory - The Visibility Brigade: Resistance is Possible**Vote Yes 836 - Oklahoma is gathering signatures**How to Organize a Bearing Witness Standout**Indiana teacher snitch portal - Eyes on Education**Find Your Representative | house.gov, Contacting U.S. SenatorsFrom The Good Newsnhmarf.orgMutual Aid HubCincy Urban FarmAndrea GibsonLaurelwood Golf CourseDana Goldberg Outrageous Tour - November 14th Chicago Our Donation LinksNational Security Counselors - Donate, MSW Media, Blue Wave CA Victory Fund | ActBlue, WhistleblowerAid.org/beansFederal workers - email AG at fedoath@pm.me and let me know what you're going to do, or just vent.

In this explosive episode, Tara examines the intersection of military, political, and law enforcement failures in America. She discusses Pete Hegseth's efforts to remove incompetent military leaders post-Afghanistan disaster, critiques the ideological shifts under Obama, and emphasizes the need for combat-experienced leaders in strategic positions.

Acting! The Kagro in the Morning Players, Messrs. David Waldman and Greg Dworkin, debut the first of their one-act plays: "It's Not So Bad, When You Look at It". Did Dems underreach? Will Gops overreach? Well, that is what they do. Today is for replays and takeaways. It's not over yet, and there's plenty more to come. Now, will Donald K. Trump's next move be cruel, or stupid? Of course, it will be both. Trump can't bribe himself into popularity… not in this economy. ICE'S not yet being welcomed as liberators. Russia hunts civilians with drones, while Pete Hegseth says, "Hold my beer." Trump is being forced to share his food with others, and you can imagine how that makes him feel. The goal is to herd most Americans into ghettos, and the rest into fortresses, perhaps not the future most desire. Kash Patel keeps leaving spies out in the cold. Who needs intelligence when you have loyalty? That sure works for Alexander Smirnov, who was disappeared, but in a good way. Rudy Giuliani and his gang of fake electors got fake pardons they can pin to the walls of their state cells. SCOTUS declined to revisit their same-sex marriage decision filed by OG Karen, Kentucky county clerk Kim Davis, because really, no one wants to give her any more time.

Welcome to 'Gambling Mad with Norman Chad' — the only show where NFL picks, collapsing democracies, and pizza rankings all share the same oxygen. Each week, Norman Chad delivers his signature mix of dry wit, sharp takes, and mildly unhinged wisdom about sports, politics, and the absurd state of modern life.In this episode, Norman wonders if democracy can survive another Trump run, questions whether Pete Hegseth is secretly streaming drone strikes like they're Call of Duty, and still finds time to make his NFL picks — because priorities matter. Between biting commentary on the World Series, a heated debate over the best pizza on Earth, and an existential discussion about Kim Kardashian's take on the moon landing, Gambling Mad manages to capture America's chaos in one neat, laughably tragic package.If you like your sports talk with a side of skepticism, sarcasm, and slightly burnt crust, this is your kind of madness.

Nuclear Testing, Venezuela Buildup, and Gaza Occupation. Colonel Jeff McCausland criticizes Secretary Hegseth's suggestion that resuming nuclear testing would make nuclear war "less likely," noting that the US deterrent is already credible and testing would destabilize adversaries. He highlights the excessive US military buildup near Venezuela, questioning the post-intervention mission, referencing the "Pottery Barn theory." Regarding Gaza, he suggests the potential creation of "two Gazas" leads to an indefinite, burdensome Israeli occupation and creates a breeding ground for future insurgency. 1953 NEVADA TEST RANGE

This week on Sinica, I chat with Lizzi Lee, a fellow on the Chinese economy at the Asia Society Policy Institute and one of the sharpest China analysts working today. We dig into the 4th Plenary Session of the 20th Party Congress and what it reveals about China's evolving growth model — particularly the much-discussed but often misunderstood push against "involution" in key sectors like EVs and solar. Lizzi walks us through the structural incentives driving overcompetition, from local government finance and VAT collection to the challenges of rebalancing supply and demand. We also discuss her recent Foreign Affairs piece on China's manufacturing model, why "overcapacity" is a misleading frame, the unexpected upsides of China's industrial strategy for the global green transition, and what happened at the Trump-Xi meeting in Busan. This is a conversation about getting beyond the binaries and understanding the actual mechanisms — and contradictions — shaping China's economic trajectory.4:43 – What Western reporting missed in the 4th Plenum communique 6:34 – The "anti-involution" push and what it really means 9:57 – Is China's domestic demand abnormally low?

One of the most time-tested principles in international affairs is the prescription “If you want peace, prepare for war.”  Since he became Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth has been clear about the most serious threat against which we must prepare – namely, that posed by the Chinese Communist Party.  The long-awaited National Defense Strategy reportedly will emphasize that reality. Secretary Hegseth told senior military leaders recently there would be “no rear areas” in the next war –presumably, because of the large numbers of Chinese soldiers here.  And on Saturday, Secretary Hegseth warned Asian nations of the imperative of improving “threat awareness” and maritime capabilities in the face of China's increasingly “destabilizing” and “coercive” actions in the South China Sea.   If you want “everlasting peace” with China, prepare for war – and help bring down the greatest threat we've ever faced: the Chinese Communist Party. This is Frank Gaffney.

The guest host for today's show is Brad Bannon. Brad runs Bannon Communications Research, a polling, message development and media firm which helps labor unions, progressive issue groups and Democratic candidates win public affairs and political campaigns. His show, 'Deadline D.C. with Brad Bannon,' airs every Monday from 3-4pm ET. Brad is first joined by CNN Military Analyst Cedric Leighton. Col. Leighton (USAF-Ret.) provides his expert analysis on President Trump restarting U.S. nuclear weapons testing for the first time in 33 years. They also discuss Trump and Pete Hegseth's missile attacks on fishing boats in foreign waters, the President's East Asia trip, a potential trade deal with China, and more. Brad is then joined by New York Times investigative reporter Kenneth P. Vogel. The two discuss Ken's new book, "DEVILS' ADVOCATES: The Hidden Story of Rudy Giuliani, Hunter Biden, and the Washington Insiders on the Payrolls of Corrupt Foreign Interest." The book shines a spotlight on one of the most shadowy and impactful industries in U.S. politics—the foreign influence business. Drawing on exclusive sources, thousands of documents, and on-the-ground reporting, Vogel pulls back the curtain on this billion-dollar business that spans the partisan spectrum and secretly shapes U.S. foreign policy, while often flouting American values like human rights and democracy. Col. Cedric Leighton is the Founder and President of Cedric Leighton Associates, a strategic risk and leadership consultancy serving global companies and organizations. He founded the company in 2010, after serving in the US Air Force for 27 years as an Intelligence Officer and attaining the rank of Colonel.

The guest host for today's show is Brad Bannon. Brad runs Bannon Communications Research, a polling, message development and media firm which helps labor unions, progressive issue groups and Democratic candidates win public affairs and political campaigns. His show, 'Deadline D.C. with Brad Bannon,' airs every Monday from 3-4pm ET. Brad is first joined by CNN Military Analyst Cedric Leighton. Col. Leighton (USAF-Ret.) provides his expert analysis on President Trump restarting U.S. nuclear weapons testing for the first time in 33 years. They also discuss Trump and Pete Hegseth's missile attacks on fishing boats in foreign waters, the President's East Asia trip, a potential trade deal with China, and more. Brad is then joined by New York Times investigative reporter Kenneth P. Vogel. The two discuss Ken's new book, "DEVILS' ADVOCATES: The Hidden Story of Rudy Giuliani, Hunter Biden, and the Washington Insiders on the Payrolls of Corrupt Foreign Interest." The book shines a spotlight on one of the most shadowy and impactful industries in U.S. politics—the foreign influence business. Drawing on exclusive sources, thousands of documents, and on-the-ground reporting, Vogel pulls back the curtain on this billion-dollar business that spans the partisan spectrum and secretly shapes U.S. foreign policy, while often flouting American values like human rights and democracy. Col. Cedric Leighton is the Founder and President of Cedric Leighton Associates, a strategic risk and leadership consultancy serving global companies and organizations. He founded the company in 2010, after serving in the US Air Force for 27 years as an Intelligence Officer and attaining the rank of Colonel.

In New Jersey, on the other hand, Democratic Congresswoman Mikie Sherrill is in a much closer race, with one poll even showing the election within the margin of error.

Listen to this episode commercial free at https://angryplanetpod.comThis week on Angry Planet we have returning guest and former judge advocate Dan Maurer. The last time he was on the show, Maurer walked us through the consequences of a Supreme Court ruling that asked the question: is it illegal for the President to order SEAL Team Six to kill people? It was a surreal question that now feels more pressing.A US Carrier Strike Group is moving into South American waters to support America's highly kinetic War on Drugs. Military lawyers might have advised the Trump administration that extra-judiciously executing alleged criminals in international waters is, in fact, illegal. But Secretary of War Pete Hegseth is no fan of military lawyers and fired the Judge Advocate General (JAG) of both the Army and the Air Force. The Pentagon plans to turn as many as 600 of the remaining military lawyers into immigration judges.The second Trump administration is perverting the law and sidelining anyone that might tell them it's a bad idea. Since he was last on the show, Maurer has retired from the Army and is now a professor at Ohio Northern University's college of law. He's here to tell us how bad things are and how much worse they might get.The terminal parent metaphorA story that only ends one wayWhat's a JAG?Hegseth's JAG hateLaw as perversionAre these strikes legal? “No.”“It can be lawful, but not moral.”Legally speaking, you can't be a combatant and a criminal.When Truman tried to take over the steel industry.Can state authorities arrest the feds?Life after Trump timeAre Military Lawyers Being Sidelined?Defining ‘Rebellion' in 10 U.S.C. § 12406 and the Insurrection ActOn Treason and Traitors“Anna, Lindsey Halligan Here.”Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/warcollege.

Paramount slashes 1,000 jobs and CBS makes deep cuts, too, eliminating entire news programs and terminating long time correspondents. Curious timing as polling confirms what everyone knows: Very few people trust the media. A nameless man explains the government shutdown in 3 minutes - something the media cannot do - and Trump tells Pete Hegseth to start testing America's nuclear arsenal. The flex happening hours before Trump met China's Xi and agreed to reduce Chinese tariffs to 52%. MORE missing children are found... this time in Memphis...

The bulldozing of the East Wing of the White House late last week was shocking to much of the nation, Mary and Andrew included. They begin there with concerns, not only about preserving its rich history, but the ethical and legal questions that arise from the president using private donations to fund this ballroom build, and how the Anti-Deficiency Act might apply. Next, an update on National Guard deployments in the California case and the 9th Circuit's issue of a temporary stay in Portland as they consider an en banc review. And last up, the boat strikes keep coming in the Caribbean -- and now in the Pacific, as the president continues to escalate tensions. Mary and Andrew address the thorny legal issues at play when the U.S. military kills suspected traffickers in international waters.A note to listeners: Since this episode was recorded, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced another set of boat strikes in the Pacific ocean that killed 14 people. Further reading: Here is the Letter from several Democratic Senators raising concerns about donations to the ballroom that Mary and Andrew spoke about. Want to listen to this show without ads?

It's Fun Day Monday on the Majority Report On today's program: U.S. Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent tells ABC News that he is a soybean farmer and so he feels the pain of the tariffs as well. Turns out he is just a landlord to $25 million worth of soybean farms. The American Federation of Government Employees is feeling pressure from their members to end the shutdown. In Landover, Maryland furloughed federal workers line up for food assistance in a queue that stretches down the street and around the block. The Trump administration is claiming they do not have authority to fund SNAP amidst the shutdown, which is proven to be a lie. Zohran Mamdani, AOC and Bernie Sanders held a rally in Queens, New York on Sunday Night packing out Forrest Hills Stadium with over 13,000 people. AOC delivers remarks over the immigrants, freeman, and suffragists that built New York and they are the ones that will determine our future. Zohran gives all credit to Bernie Sanders for teaching Zohran the language of democratic Socialism. Emma Vigeland asks Zohran if he believes that a large win in the mayoral race would provide him with leverage with Albany since Hochul is up for reelection in 2026. Hochul speaks at the rally and is drowned out by "Tax the Rich" chants. The next day Hochul claims to have thought the crowd was cheering "Let's Go Bills" In the Fun Half: Another patriot humiliates ICE agents in a beautiful rant after they harassed him at 26 Federal Plaza in New York. Pete Hegseth does not dispute rumors that the Trump Administration is planning on deploying the National Guard in all 50 states in 2026. On Fox News Stephen Miller tells ICE officers that they have federal immunity to do whatever they have to do to perform their duties. Kyrsten Sinema, now a lobbyist for AI, speaks at a planning commission meeting in Chandler, AZ encouraging them to build a data center before the government comes in builds it without their consent.
