Pentagon Attacks Meidas Over Our USS Lincoln Reporting…We Won’t Back Down!!
Summary
The episode details the Pentagon’s backlash against reporters exposing poor conditions on the USS Abraham Lincoln, featuring interviews with sailors’ families who describe inadequate food and mental health crises. The host criticizes Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and President Trump for dismissing these reports and mismanaging military logistics, including the controversial redeployment of the USS George Washington. This move leaves the Pacific without a carrier presence amid rising tensions with China, Russia, and Iran, which the host condemns as incompetent leadership.
