BONUS: EPISODE 331: Charlie Sykes’ To The Contrary with Paul Rieckhoff: The Rise of the Fake Tough Guys. Why “Secretary Chaos" (Hegseth) Has to Go.
We’ve got a great bonus pod for you to check out as Independent Americans host Paul Rieckhoff joined Charlie Sykes for a spirited, no-holds-barred deep dive into everything happening with Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, SignalGate and the danger we all face now with this inept leadership at the helm. They explore how a Fox News persona ended up with the nukes, what it means for U.S. national security, and why even Trumpworld is starting to panic. Plus, signs of resistance from Harvard, independent veterans, and the surprising impact of punching the bully in the nose.
It’s a hard-hitting no bullshit look at everything happening in and around the turmoil at the Pentagon. AND, the backstory and history you’ve probably never heard before.
From Charlie Syke’s To The Contrary Podcast:
Paul Rieckhoff: Why Hegseth Has to Go
Pity the poor parodists. How can they possibly compete in a world where this is an actual headline: “Hegseth orders makeup studio installed at Pentagon?” Or this: “Hegseth had Signal messaging app installed on an office computer”?
On today’s “To the Contrary” Podcast, Paul Rieckhoff and I discuss the witless reign of the chode installed by Donald Trump as Secretary of Defense — and speculate about his fate. Paul is the founder of Independent Veterans of America and the host of the “Independent Americans” podcast.
