American Leadership Abroad

Lara is joined by former Marine and 2026 congressional candidate for Maryland’s 6th district Chris Burnett. Chris shares his experience serving in the military and compares the level of leadership, support, and operational clarity under the Trump administration versus previous administrations. He discusses the importance of strong American leadership abroad, particularly in Venezuela, where he says Chinese influence has rapidly expanded. Chris also dives into the ongoing military operations in Iran, outlining the strategic objectives, what success could look like, and why these actions matter for U.S. national security moving forward. Later in the episode, Lara speaks with activist Geno Young about the dramatic decline in education standards in Chicago and across the United States. Geno discusses the systemic issues affecting public education and shares his recommendations for President Trump on how to reform the system. He also explains why he supports abolishing the Department of Education and returning more control to states and local communities.Support the show: https://www.therightview.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
