Federalist Radio Hour - Hegseth Is A ‘Citizen-Soldier’ — Here’s How That Threatens The Military Industrial Complex

Mark Lucas, executive vice president of the Article III Project, joins The Federalist's Senior Elections Correspondent Matt Kittle to discuss how the propaganda press is maligning Department of Defense Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth. Lucas, a friend of Hegseth's for years, explains how Hegseth is a "true citizen-soldier" and how that makes him a "disrupter" to the military-industrial complex.

Chapo Trap House - 892 – Talking Points Memo feat. Jael Holzman (12/10/24)

We catch up briefly on news around the arrest of the alleged UHC CEO assassin. Then, journalist and musician Jael Holzman returns to the show to discuss a new piece she has for Rolling Stone on the potential threats to trans people in the coming Trump administration. We look at the rather grim potential of massively undermining of trans medical care, the equally grim state of Democratic opposition, and the general fecklessness with which Democrats have handled what Joe Biden once called the “civil rights issue of our time” in both policy and rhetoric.
