President Trump's defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, is imploding again. We just learned that he shared still more highly sensitive data on a private signal chat. A GOP Congressman just basically called for his resignation. And a former chief Pentagon official who is a Trump supporter himself also tore into Hegseth's tenure, calling it a “full-blown meltdown.” That triggered a furious response from Donald Trump Jr., who declared this turncoat critic “exiled” from the Trump movement. Other MAGA figures raged at Hegseth's critics as well. We talked to Juliette Kayyem, a former national security official under Barack Obama. She takes us through this latest scandal and explains why the profoundly unfit Hegseth will become a much, much bigger problem for Trump—with no easy way out for the president.  Looking for More from the DSR Network?

What's the number one threat to America today? According to national security expert Juliette Kayyem, it's not what you might expect. "Violence, or the threat of violence, as the accepted extension of our policy differences," she explains, pointing to a troubling shift in our political landscape where violence has become normalized and even state-authorized.As former Assistant Secretary for Intergovernmental Affairs at the Department of Homeland Security under President Obama, Harvard lecturer, and CNN's go-to disaster expert, Kayyem brings unparalleled insight to today's most pressing security challenges. She delivers a masterclass in understanding the complex interplay between democracy, security, and power in our rapidly changing world.Our conversation explores how billionaires like Elon Musk have accumulated unprecedented control over global communication systems, creating new kinds of national security vulnerabilities. "He controls information in a way that we've never seen before," Kayyem warns, highlighting how commercial interests now intersect with critical security functions traditionally managed by governments.Perhaps most compelling is Kayyem's candid assessment of where Democrats have failed, particularly on immigration policy. "Democrats tend to convince themselves that border security is a mythology of Fox News," she says, explaining how this blindspot has consistently undermined progressive messaging with voters. Her refreshing honesty cuts through partisan talking points to offer a clear-eyed view of what effective homeland security truly requires: managing the secure flow of people, goods, and ideas rather than simply building walls.Whether discussing the strategic failures of political messaging, the reality of cartels, or the path forward for rebuilding democratic norms, Kayyem's analysis is both sobering and surprisingly hopeful. Join us for this essential conversation about securing America's future in an increasingly complex threat landscape.Support the showThe Jack Hopkins Now Newsletter https://wwwJackHopkinsNow.com
