Longtime insider critic Col. Doug Macgregor schools us on what the military's real motives are as it continues to hype up the threats and build up for WWIII in the South China Sea. He talks about how the generals — there are way too many of them — turned out to be far less capable, less competent, and over-estimated than anyone gave them credit for in the last 20 years. In the first segment, Dan and Kelley talk about Afghanistan on the verge of economic and social collapse, and why the Biden Administration is still refusing to work with the Taliban to avoid it.
