Ken argues that Trump's ridiculous bluster, including his UN threat to "annihilate" Iran, has destroyed America's credibility, and that Pete Hegseth's gutting of the Pentagon is compounding the damage. He then talks with retired Army Brigadier General Leela Gray, a 30-year veteran now running for Congress in Florida, about the threats facing the country at home and abroad, and about how the purge of experienced leaders at the Pentagon makes America less safe.
