This is the debut episode of Left Flank, featuring veterans Dylan Blaha and Demi Palecek!

Elon Musk and other billionaires are still being targeted for roles at the Pentagon, letting them reap even more taxpayer money through military contracts. The two kick off the show by addressing these concerns, how AI is being integrated into the military, and why military enlistment is spiking.

Then, Blaha sits down with embattled Chicago School Board president candidate Hilario Dominguez to discuss the Chicago Tribune's recently resurfaced allegations accusing him of improper conduct with a minor he was mentoring at a non-profit, the Office of Inspector General publicly reopening the investigation, how he is moving forward with his campaign, and more.

Palecek wraps up the show by telling Blaha about her crazy, enriching adventure with Robby Roadsteamer, Kat Abughazaleh, and more this past weekend, including protesting Jake Lang at the Taste of Palestine in Chicago.
