7/22 Hegseth Faceplants; Rubio Targets DSA With McCarthyite Blacklists w/ Ken Klippenstein (M)

FUN HALF: https://youtube.com/live/UN9DAHDOIeo?... Welcome back to The Majority Report On today's program: The House will vote on the National Defense Authorization Act today which includes the enmeshing of the Israeli and American militaries. Tell your Senators to block the NDAA until it is stripped of this proposal. At an appropriations committee hearing, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, dripping in flop sweat, grows increasingly defensive as he is questioned about the quagmire he coaxed Trump into starting in Iran. Hegseth tries to claim that Senator Gary Peters (D-MI) labeling this war a failure is an indictment of the troops to which the Senator clarifies that is Hegseth who is the failure, not the servicemembers. Hegseth tried to scapegoat the Biden administration, but Senator Jack Reed (D-RI) reminds him that the Strait of Hormuz never closed during the previous presidencies. Ken Klippenstein, independent journalist covering security and U.S. politics at KlipNews on Substack, joins the program to talk about the Trump administration's efforts to shut down all dissent from the left. In the Fun Half: Comedian and podcaster Francesca Fiorentini joins. If you live in Minneapolis grab tickets to see the Bitchuation Room live at the Parkway. Krystal Ball debates top house Democrat, Rep. Adam Smith (D-WA) over Israel and the DSA. Meghan McCain warns that the GOP are not taking Zohran Mamdani seriously and that he will be the kingmaker of the Democratic Party. AOC wonders if Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, or Peter Thiel would want an AI data center in their own backyards? Troy Jackson has effectively secured the Democratic nomination for Senate in Maine, and the media is already trying to slander him over his temper. all that and more.
