Trump, Hegseth, and the Plan to Use the Military at Home
from Real Patriotism · host Collective Media
Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth just summoned America’s top generals and admirals to Quantico — for what Congressman Jason Crow calls a dangerous and appalling display.

Topics covered include: - Trump and Hegseth’s push to reshape the military in their image - The threat of using U.S. forces against American cities and citizens - Political purges inside the officer corps and loyalty tests for promotions - The firing of top military lawyers (JAGs) and why it chills the ranks - The government shutdown and Trump’s defiance of Congress’s power of the purse - Rising healthcare costs, broken systems, and why Americans are disillusioned - Why Crow still sees optimism in people power and democratic resilience 📺 Watch the full conversation for an unflinching look at the risks of authoritarian drift — and how everyday Americans can resist it. 👍 Like, comment, and subscribe for more independent interviews on politics, power, and democracy. #trump #JasonCrow #military #democracy #politics
