LtCOL. Karen Kwiatkowski : Trump’s Oil Delusions
Summary
Judge Napolitano and Colonel Karen Kwiatkowski discuss the resignation of Ambassador Kimberly Guilfoyle and the lack of accountability for Mike Huckabee’s doctored reports. They critique the live-streamed firing squad execution of Nidal Hassan, arguing it turns a prisoner into a martyr and exposes the administration’s hypocrisy. The conversation also addresses Trump’s contradictory stance on the Ukraine war and his economic policies, suggesting he intentionally drives up oil prices to benefit allies while propping up a struggling dollar.
