Happy Valentine’s Day, America. Tulsi Gabbard is confirmed, Elon Musk is ransacking our government, the FBI is being purged, Trump and Hegseth are abandoning Ukraine. And Putin is coming to visit America. 

What a great time for our enemies. The doors are wide open for them everywhere. Putin must be smiling from ear to ear. 

We really need that upside down American flag emoji right about now.

And we also need truly patriotic, candid, courageous and unafraid voices of reason. And we’ve got one of the best. 

Bob Kerrey (@KerreyBob) is a Navy SEAL Vietnam Veteran, Medal of Honor Recipient, former Governor and Senator from Nebraska, member of The 9/11 Commission and constant voice of conscience for America. Lots of people talk tough. Bob Kerrey’s lived tough. And he’s not holding back on Elon Musk, Trump, Pete Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard and what we’re facing as a nation. He’s got advice for Democrats on how to connect with real Americans and explains why he went against his own party to support Independent Navy Veteran Dan Osborn for Senate last year in Nebraska. 

He also shares his heroic journey of overcoming adversity, having part of his leg amputated, why he chooses happiness every day and what it’s like to have a Navy ship named after him. He’s a brilliant, honest, funny and inspiring American hero. And this is an episode you’re not gonna wanna miss.
