How They Ruined California

Pete Hegseth is the first of Trump's major Cabinet picks to face a high-stakes confirmation hearing on Capitol Hill, and the attacks from Democrats show every way they've allowed the military to become a declining, woke, inept, war-losing joke. Charlie covers all the highlights and offers his own evidence of the American military decline that Pete is badly needed in order to fix. Mark Halperin joins in the second half to talk about why the right has been so much more effective at the confirmation fight in Trump's second go-round.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Then, Army Veteran Will Thibeau talks about how wokeness has rotted the U.S. military from within and lays out the Day One agenda for Pete Hegseth to turn things around before America loses a war it can't afford to lose.Support the show: http://www.charliekirk.com/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
