    Timestamps:Timestamp: (1:28). I know there’s a lot going on politically, and it remains a time of great division and fear. Let’s address some of the concerns out there and hopefully lift your spirits.Timestamp: (9:52). Is the bombing campaign against the Houthis in Yemen over? Possibly for now. But let’s examine the costs and the likelihood that it’s actually over.Timestamp: (23:50). Who’s the bigger threat to America? Russia? Or China? For a long time, I said the latter, same as everyone else. But I read an article this week that shook me about this.Timestamp: (43:36). The Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has survived yet another week, but how strong is his support in the military?Timestamp: (51:40). Rapid round: Steve Witkof needs to get his act together; India and Pakistan are on the brink of war; President Trump has ordered U.S. intelligence to start spying on Greenland; and finally, there are prelimary talks that the United States might send troops into Gaza to help adminsiter a post-war situation.Timestamp: (1:00:29). Let me end by sharing some spiritual encouragement.Hi everyone! Thank you for being here. If you’re new to the show, let me say this.

Truman aircraft carrier lost an F/A-18E Super Hornet fighter jet and a tow tractor when both fell overboard on Monday, the Navy said in a statement.This incident marks the second Super Hornet that the Truman has lost while deployed to the Red Sea, and it is the third major mishap that has occurred aboard the aircraft carrier in the last several months."The F/A-18E was actively under tow in the hangar bay when the move crew lost control of the aircraft," the statement said, adding the "sailors towing the aircraft took immediate action to move clear of the aircraft before it fell overboard."A U.S. official confirmed to Military.com that initial reports indicated the Truman made a hard turn to evade Houthi fire, which contributed to the fighter jet falling overboard.The Institute for the Study of War claimed that the Houthis “used a complex strike package combining ballistic and cruise missiles and drones to force the USS Harry S. Truman to take evasive action.”It seems that was a pretty sophisticated attempt by the Houthis.Back to the cost of this to date, besides losing the fighter jet mentioned above, the Houthis continue to knock out MQ-9 Reaper drones. They’ve now downed seven of them in the past month and a half.While this is approximately $300 million in losses between the jet and the drones, it hasn’t been the only cost, as we lost another plane this week. Some articles put the total cost of the attacks against the Houthis as over a billion dollars, when add in the cost of the munitions, missiles, and bombs that we used. In other news this weekend, Ukraine made history. (They had previously shot down helicopters, but never a jet.)In Hegseth news, it appears the troops aren’t buying the act as well as he’d like. A great story below on it, if you have a moment.Across military Reddit forums and enlisted meme pages, Hegseth has become a regular target of satire, often referred to with nicknames such as "DUI Hire," "Whiskey Leaks" and "Kegseth."

    Timestamps:Timestamp: (3:32). A quick reminder on why I do this show each week. And why I talk about foreign policy as the primary subject.Timestamp: (14:31). Trump hits the 100-day mark, and The Economist paints a dark picture of the Administration’s opening act.Timestamp: (25:05). As a country, we fumbled the ball on handling China. And now they have the upper hand, and they’re going to seriously embarrass us.Timestamp: (40:06). The Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has survived another week, and he’s perhaps in the clear for now.Timestamp: (43:33). Canada selects a new leader, who is defiant in the face of Trump’s claims to making Canada a 51st state. Polls show most Americans are defiant on this issue, as well.Timestamp: (49:39). Conservatives are growing tired of President Trump’s weakness toward Ukraine, and has a mineral deal been signed between the United States and Ukraine?Timestamp: (55:56). Ukrainian air power is starting to take a real toll on the Russians… Let’s talk about it.Timestamp: (1:00:29). Let me end by sharing some spiritual encouragement.Hi everyone!

(Or full name if you want to get a little famous.)Selected source notes for podcast and transcript above.U.S. news:Trump is a revolutionary. Will he succeed? from The Economist.Eventually, bad polls will impinge on elected officials. America is a federal system that is too big and has too many rival centers of power to become Hungary (whose population is about the same as New Jersey’s). Congress, too, could become a problem for Mr Trump. Republicans have a thin majority in the House and were able to pass a budget framework only because a couple of Democratic representatives had died. Betting markets give Democrats more than an 80% chance of winning back the House next year. Control would enable the Democrats to frustrate Mr Trump, even if he continued to govern by executive order. In the Senate, Republicans are seven votes short of the 60 needed to avoid a filibuster. Those constraints are real.The last source of resistance is the courts. The law moves slowly, but the Supreme Court has already handed down a 9-0 ruling in the case of a man wrongly deported to El Salvador. As with other institutions, the courts have less to fear from the defiance of an unpopular president. The administration may yet lose cases on tariffs, on the president’s ability to fire officials and close agencies without congressional backing, and on Mr Trump’s scattergun use of break-glass emergency provisos such as the Alien Enemies Act. If that happens, his theory of executive power will be discredited.Even on the most optimistic reading of the MAGA revolution, Mr Trump has already done lasting harm to America’s institutions, alliances and moral standing. And if he is thwarted by investors, voters or the courts, he is liable to lash out against institutions with even greater ferocity. Using the newly politicised Department of Justice, he may persecute his opponents and stir up the fear and conflict that give him licence to operate. Abroad, he could cause alliance-wrecking provocations in, say, Greenland or Panama. There is no going back to the way America was 100 days ago. Only 1,361 days left.China, Japan, South Korea will jointly respond to US tariffsHainan Island incidentLet me end by sharing some spiritual encouragement for you all out there.As you know, if you want true peace, I believe you should look to...

    Timestamps:Timestamp: (3:22). President Trump is pushing a peace deal that completely favors Russia, while also hinting that he’s nearly done trying to bring about peace.Timestamp: (21:32). Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has shared detailed military plans in a second Signal chat that included his wife and brother, and he appears to be in at least some danger of losing his job.Timestamp: (29:18). A number of prominent Republicans, including several former members of the first Trump administration, have blasted the President for going after two Republicans within his first Administration.Timestamp: (40:55).

(Or full name if you want to get a little famous.)Selected source notes for podcast and transcript above.It would make perfect sense for Trump to force Rubio to be the messenger on this inability to create a peace deal. Here’s a quick reminder that this won’t be the first time. This is what Trump said during the State of the Union this year.The Atlantic: Trump’s Plan to Sell Out Ukraine to RussiaThere’s been a lot happen since last Thursday’s podcast. Here’s a quick rundown on the stories you need to know about, and which I’m tracking for this week’s edition. The biggest news is Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth shared detailed military plans in a second Signal chat that included his wife and brother.As CNN reports:Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shared detailed plans about a military operation against the Houthis in Yemen on a second Signal group chat, this one on his personal phone and including his wife, lawyer and brother, three people familiar with the chat told CNN.The chat was set up during Hegseth’s tumultuous confirmation hearing process as a way for his closest allies to strategize, two of the people familiar with the matter said. But Hegseth continued using the chat, which had more than a dozen people in it, to communicate after he was confirmed, the people said.The revelation comes as some of Hegseth’s closest advisers have begun sounding the alarm about the secretary’s judgment, including his former press secretary, John Ullyot, and three former senior officials Hegseth fired last week — his top adviser Dan Caldwell, deputy chief of staff Darin Selnick, and Colin Carroll, who served as chief of staff to the deputy secretary of defense.This impossible-to-imagine news has Hegseth on the hot seat. (Or possibly his time is already finished, according to NPR.)Even before this terrible news broke, Hegseth was having former advisers and strong supporters of President Trump speak out publicly against him.Check out what John Ullyot wrote in Politico. Ullyot is a former chief Pentagon spokesman and led communications at the National Security Council and the Department of Veterans Affairs in President Donald Trump’s first term. Besides that, he was a senior communications adviser on Trump’s 2016 campaign.But last week, Ullyot resigned from the Pentagon and wrote these blistering words in Politico:The latest flashpoint (for Hegseth) is a near collapse inside the Pentagon’s top ranks. On Friday, Hegseth fired three of his most loyal senior staffers — senior adviser Dan Caldwell, deputy chief of staff Darin Selnick and Colin Carroll, chief of staff to the deputy secretary of Defense. In the aftermath, Defense Department officials working for Hegseth tried to smear the aides ...
