There in is the question no one will answer! The cult of trump has blinded people to normal moral behavior we used to EXPECT from people in a position of power!!
Raging Moderates is at the top of my list. BUT Hegseth’s bad behavior far outweighs his service. Big difference being a soldier and leading 3M+ personnel. He is spectacularly unqualified. His on-camera interviews are damning.
Totally Agreed, Vicki. I love Jess and understand her loyalty but Pete Hegseth has openly advocated bombing North Korea and Iran, has never managed a team of more than 15 people and has openly renounced his Harvard degree on-air. There are hundreds of WAY WAY more qualified people for this role.
The larger risk is not the individuals chosen and their qualifications but putting all of them in place in a mass recess appointment. If these individuals are required to go through the normal confirmation process then they would actually be required to spend some time at the department they seek to run and be required to read a briefing package about the current state of the department and then appear before congress and demonstrate a basic understanding of the mission of the department and its relationship with congress. For Hegseth, Gabbard, and RFK Jr they would actually learn the reality and complexity of DNI, HHS, and DOD mission. Right now all three are operating from ignorance, innuendo, and bias
Bronze Star is the officer equivalent of an enlisted person receiving a Navy Achievement Medal--I once saw slacker receive a NAM for painting...while we were in the shipyard. Receiving the BS is barely noteworthy; definitely not a big deal.
Bullshit. A Bronze Star is the 10th highest award in the US Navy, ranking immediately higher in precedence than a Purple Heart (it literally ranks higher than being injured in combat). A Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal is 18th in precedence. Both the NAM and Bronze Star are awarded to officers and enlisted. Just do a little research for Christ's sake.
I agree with Jessica, Trump's picks will damage America's relationship with their allies. Trump's choice of team will further reduce confidence in America.
Some of these picks (Gabbard, Hegseth) also seem to be open to possible blackmail or extortion with so many skeletons in their closets that we know something about. I shudder to think what else might be there. In addition, Gabbard has too many instances of her praising and/or using the talking points of bad actors like Putin. I absolutely would not trust her with our nation’s intelligence.
I saw a bunch of people at the CVS waiting in line for vaccines after the election. CVS wanted to give me five different things and even I was like “let’s spread it out over a couple weeks fellas”.
I had just the COVID-19 booster and flu vaccinations this year. The previous year, I had 4 - the ones I just got plus pneumonia and RSV. All at once, two in each arm. I was fine and am still fine. In my personal view, there should only be medical reasons to not be vaccinated. No personal or religious reasons allowed. Maintaining herd immunity is too important.
The real question about Hegseth: Will he do the work of replacing the military command structure with loyalists to the president? Will he say yes to orders of using the military domestically to round up and detain millions of people? Will he facilitate the use of active duty troops to fire on American civilians?
I was a federal government employee for 4 years and I served in the military for 6 years. I specifically left both roles because the break even value is getting to 20 years and I have no confidence in the pension still being there 15 years later. After Trump being elected, never felt more confident in my decision.
To me the biggest issue with Hegseth is the lack of executive experience. Managing a budget of that size and that many people is a skill that needs to be learned. The lack of experience there is going to be a problem.
You know this guy who is up for Sec of Defense sells everything like grenade shaped soap? Don’t you think he is capable of graft?! Scott Johnson is a nut. He put some kind of promise ring and other things. Nutter.
Yeah. As a vet who also began his service in 2003, I get frustrated when people who have never served say things about military service in a glowing respect when they don’t seem to have the necessary context. For example, at the end of my tour in Iraq in ‘05, literally every senior NCO and officer received - at minimum - a bronze star. And junior NCOs and enlisted received blanket Army Commendation Medals. It’s just what it was. I’m not saying that he didn’t serve honorably or anything, but calling out that he received two bronze stars… that’s not indicative of individual valor or merit; it was the blanket award given for people who held his rank given to tens of thousands of officers. It sounds like he deployed twice… received two bronze stars… yeah, that checks out.
Mr. apprentice and his minions do not care if the whole thing fails. they aren’t about disruption they’re about breaking it. They truly don’t give a $####
So because Hegseth had an exemplary service career that means he's infallible like the messiah? Aside from all of his other issues, and they're substantial, I have a major problem with his repeated comments that active duty service people and veterans shouldn't use many of their benefits and that it's wrong for them to do so. My grandfather was a bronze star winner, a D-Day veteran who landed at Omaha beach and later served in combat in Korea. My Dad and Son are Army veterans. So according to him they're basically deadbeats taking handouts because they use the benefits they earned? This is the parasite we want running our military? And she thinks he's got the qualifications for the job? WTF?
He was an O-4. A junior officer in the Minnesota Army National Guard. Spare me please. "He cares deeply for veterans". Prove it. Support your claim FFS.
0-4 is not a junior officer - rather, a major is the most junior of the senior officer ranks. It takes something like 15-17 years of duty to move up from 0-4 to 0-5, and Hegseth only had 12 or 13 years. So I don't know what points you're trying to make about his service, but you're not making them very well.
@@nathanielfinley5826 You made several errors in your comment. I served as an O4. Senior officer starts at O5/Commander/Lieutenant Colonel. Also, there is no standard time required across all branches to go from O-4 to O-5 but generally it is 6 - 8 years not 15-17. That's absurd. So I don't know what points you're trying to make about his service, but you're not making them very well.
@@MichaelBrashier Good points. More importantly he simply does not have the experience to run a massive organization like DOD. He is probably the most unqualified nominee in modern history.
Hegseth is in no way comparable to Lloyd Austin and further he comes with a lot of baggage besides lacking qualifications for the difficult role of SecDef. He is in no way a role model and seriously lacks the management chops to do the job.
"Some elements of what RFK Jr. says are so powerful." Yes, him as well as many SANE people. You can't appoint based on a myopic slice among a huge body of crazyiness.
Perhaps he should be an advisor on important issues for the SCIENTISTS to address: additives, food dyes, etc. THOSE are great things to be better studied and perhaps changed.
I listened to the latest straight podcast earlier, so I found the show on TH-cam so I could comment. So far, I’d say these are two very interesting and intelligent people who have given a lot of thought to issues they discuss. I kind of want to take issue with the Moderates part. They came across in that podcast as center right, so ‘moderates’ maybe in that they seemed to land in the 10 - 20% around the median but shifted 5-10% to the right. I’ll keep listening.

21:15 Sorry Jessica, you again do not know what you are talking about. I support woman having the option to be in combat, I have no opposition at all to that, but they have different standards, which some people could argue (right or wrong) that lower standards could let in less qualified people (and I am not even arguing for gender-neutral stands, just that one needs to be accurate when speaking about this topic). here is some info from the Net, various sites have similar information which leads me to suspect that it is accurate: Due to persistently high failure rates, primarily among female trainees, the Army has decided to scrap the concept of gender-neutrality in the ACFT. Instead, exercise requirements and test scores will be gender-normed and different for men and women, with some standards lower than before. (Apr 19, 2022)
Lowering standards for women vs men is just more sexism. If the most qualified woman cannot compete at a high enough level to make the cutoff, then that's the way the cookie crumbles. Shoehorning people in to meet quotas and have nice stories is dangerous at best and destructive at worst. It gets worse when they try to add additional criteria that are irrelevant to give others a higher chance of making the cutoff just for optics.
@@joanfregapane8683 its one of the ways I measure how healthy a person is. Being able to knock out a couple sets of 30 pushups makes you more healthy than getting a flu vaccine.

Thank you Jessica for adding perspective on Hegseth for having a good military career. Many of us on the left loved Tim Walz but do not want to talk about Hegseth's service. No matter what else i think about the guy we have to give honor where it is due.

@@jsnx9067lol this response about having TWO people lead DOGE being ironically inefficient is the dumbest most knuckle dragging thing I think I’ve heard on the internet.
@@mjordo13 it's such a lazy argument. Progressive policies are far and away more popular than conservative policies. There's a communication problem, compounded drastically by a propaganda machine churning out lies faster than can be responded to...by design.
Trump's cabinet picks reminds me of that scene in Caligula when he brings a horse into the Senate and makes the animal one of the senators. It's the same type of contempt and disgust at the institutions
H5N1 is in the US and moving from birds to pigs and cows and people. Over 40 people have died. Measles can reduce your immune system's memory of past infections, making you more susceptible to diseases you've already fought off. This loss of immune memory can last for months or years.
The biggest qualification Hegseth needs to prove is that he can say "NO" to Trump if given a blatantly illegal order. Our democracy might hinge on that answer.
Speaking of the gov't efficiency: There is such a things as professional government contractors. Those are large companies usually headquartered in the Washington DC burbs that employ tens of thousands of people who gets hundreds of millions of dollars in the gov't contracts and produce absolutely nothing of value. This is the only place where you can find people with CTO, executive VP for SW Dev't, and Chief AI officer( my personal favorite) titles who never wrote a single line of code in the entire careers. Until I see this industry start losing their gov't contracts I won't take any gov't efficiency talks seriously
I think the following analogy holds - great players do not make great coaches automatically. Thankful for his service, but I don't see how the nature of his service supports his candidacy?
I have utmost respect for Scott, but what he said about women passing the same tests and being equally as strong is flat stupid. They do not and are not. Drone pilot- fine. SF - F no.(Airborne veteran here)
Pete should have told the team looking at him before it came out. I hope he doesn't get the job. It looks very dishonest to leave out the information. The entire thing is pretty disgusting. Gaetz NO, Gabbard NO, RFK should be NO...but who knows what will happen...
There can only be a certain number of potential picks tossed, so it will indeed be very interesting. I think Gaetz is a sure bet for rejection but I don't know about the others.
Someone has to explain to me why Tulsi Gabbard appears to be in the same bucket as Matt Gaetz for the majority of leftists. It feels to me like there was a packet of talking points that went out that I missed
Instead of evaluating these bozo picks on their relevant experience, we should consider their writing skills. Odds are, most of them will be fired and then write a book about their nightmare service under King Orange. Who will reveal the best dirt? That's what I want to know.
Minute 51: she just REFUSES to get it. Scott lays it out for her and again she goes off about identity politics and virtue signaling and making excuses instead of actually meeting Scott at the place where he says, "This is the battlefield." She seems hopelessly oblivious. Unbelievable.
Most of the analysis I have seen really missed why Kamala lost the election. I believe it is primarily the information bubbles we live in. Kamala had a lot of good policies, appealed to unity, a better future, expanding financial opportunities and stayed away from identity politics. Most people that votes for Trump never heard any of her ideas or proposals. None. After the election, they ran focus groups and her policies and approach was much more popular than his and people wished they had known about them. The algorithms favored rage and fear over joy and unity. Until the Dems can figure out yo penetrate that information bubble they will really struggle.
@@chrisharvey2308 the truth doesn't penetrate that, it would only come through regulation...in which the complete lack of guardrails is exactly why these social platform's leaders favor conservatives.
You're making assumptions about people who supported Trump that are absolutely ignorant. Many people understand what policies Kamala claimed to support. Mind you that she supported different policies at different times and adjusted them to whatever group she wanted to have vote for her. She lost because she's incompetent and the more people saw her the more they realized that she was as terrible of a candidate as initially thought in 2020. The team around her was just as bad. There will be a lot of change over the next four years and if Gavin Newsom runs against JD Vance in 2028, he would lose in an embarrassing election. The Democrats have lost their way and I fear they'll need to lose several elections before they realize it.
Women do not pass the same PT tests as men in the military. Was shocked when she said that. My wife was in the army and the physical standards for women were significantly lower.
4:39 - Let’s take bets on how many of these picks go all the way 4 years, I say maybe 3 top cabinet players… I don’t know which ones, idk if Rubio lasts…
Even though I don’t agree with about 25% of your views especially about Trump who is apparently the world’s center of gravity, I love your show and both of you actually.
On Tulsi…it is hilarious to see democrats so butt hurt about her….she has grown with grace and intellect and that just boggles the traditional democrat minds 😂
Tarlov tends to water down how horrible some of these selections and moves are. Most likely tied to her employer. Also, if Hegseth deeply cares about veterans he would deeply care about all of them regardless of gender.
DOGE has two unpaid co-heads- pretty fiscally efficient. Let's see how and what they cut. The gov't needs an efficiency overhaul and this is the first real effort proposed by any president in the last 50 years. Vivek proposed cutting based on ss number as a thought experiment not an actual policy. Be Better!
Not true. In 2010 Obama formed the Simpson-Bowles bi-partisan commission, which included civilians. The final votes on the panel failed to reach the threshold required by the commission, but a Democrat and Republican together put a plan based on it on the House floor and it was rejected 382 to 38. 22 Democrats and 16 Republicans supported the bill. Obama also tried to get buy-in to merge departments together to reduce head-count and improve efficiency but the blow-back was fierce.
@@archaen2321 Like he said, the first real effort. 38 votes for a bill to try to make a plan to maybe make some recommendations is not realistic. That being said, an efficiency departments with two co-heads just sounds pretty damn inefficient to me.
I’m curious about why they don’t have an episode about the 1.5 Billion that their sweetheart Kamela gave to her star-studded sinking ship of a campaign.
Jessica - "I am conflicted." Jesus, I mean; YOU THINK?!? T his is horrendous and embarrassing. You can tell she's been hanging out at FOX for too long.
Well that's the thing, you can tell she's trying to maintain good relations and access. It's like with Scarborough. I just wish these people would issue a caveat saying that for career, and also often for personal, reasons they're trying to be on Trump's good side.
RFK is the most low-key dangerous to our society, however he's unlikely to get to do most of his ideas. Trump will keep him on a leash to embarrass him.
If you're getting paid well for a federal job to do little work, you're not a public "servant"
"Why do we need morally bankrupt people in these positions of power?" ~ Jessica

Raging Moderates is at the top of my list. BUT Hegseth’s bad behavior far outweighs his service. Big difference being a soldier and leading 3M+ personnel. He is spectacularly unqualified. His on-camera interviews are damning.
He's a pure meathead. Immensely unqualified.
Totally Agreed, Vicki.
I love Jess and understand her loyalty but Pete Hegseth has openly advocated bombing North Korea and Iran, has never managed a team of more than 15 people and has openly renounced his Harvard degree on-air. There are hundreds of WAY WAY more qualified people for this role.
Trump prefers obedience to qualifications.
Agree. He’s a creepy Christian nationalist with a shit ton of tattoos, sketchy background regarding his so-called veterans organizations.
bad behavior? WTF are you talking about? He has not been charged with anything. I guess no demcrats display "bad behavior"
The larger risk is not the individuals chosen and their qualifications but putting all of them in place in a mass recess appointment. If these individuals are required to go through the normal confirmation process then they would actually be required to spend some time at the department they seek to run and be required to read a briefing package about the current state of the department and then appear before congress and demonstrate a basic understanding of the mission of the department and its relationship with congress. For Hegseth, Gabbard, and RFK Jr they would actually learn the reality and complexity of DNI, HHS, and DOD mission. Right now all three are operating from ignorance, innuendo, and bias

Those are large companies usually headquartered in the Washington DC burbs that employ tens of thousands of people who gets hundreds of millions of dollars in the gov't contracts and produce absolutely nothing of value. This is the only place where you can find people with CTO, executive VP for SW Dev't, and Chief AI officer( my personal favorite) titles who never wrote a single line of code in the entire careers. Until I see this industry start losing their gov't contracts I won't take any gov't efficiency talks seriously
The one crazy Mike Johnson can't handle is Trump
P-2025 all the way. It's a mission since Shreveport.
I think the following analogy holds - great players do not make great coaches automatically.
Thankful for his service, but I don't see how the nature of his service supports his candidacy?
ok next time your in LA I want my 5 seconds of uninterrupted eye contact lol
I have utmost respect for Scott, but what he said about women passing the same tests and being equally as strong is flat stupid. They do not and are not. Drone pilot- fine. SF - F no.(Airborne veteran here)
Scott Galloway lives in another country now. He doesn't have to live with the consequences of his opinions.
Wow seems I have a new space to get my Democratic talking points. Thanks.
Five seconds of eye contact--call it darshan. I will give you darshan.
Just tens of millions of lives? Probably a lot more than that.
Link to the feed for Raging Moderates. Doesn’t show up in TH-cam.
Pete should have told the team looking at him before it came out. I hope he doesn't get the job. It looks very dishonest to leave out the information. The entire thing is pretty disgusting. Gaetz NO, Gabbard NO, RFK should be NO...but who knows what will happen...
His history was a massive red flag. It seemed he obviously had accusers.
@@ssshar2176I agree
@@ssshar2176 innocent until proven guilty, commie
There can only be a certain number of potential picks tossed, so it will indeed be very interesting. I think Gaetz is a sure bet for rejection but I don't know about the others.
Someone has to explain to me why Tulsi Gabbard appears to be in the same bucket as Matt Gaetz for the majority of leftists. It feels to me like there was a packet of talking points that went out that I missed
So Jessica withholds moral judgment of Gaetz but not RFK?
Those people as I understand it sending in resumes are UNPAID...
Only the rich need apply
There were some sketchy finances around one of those “veterans organizations”
Agreement with most everything. The physical tests are not the same for men and women in the military. They make the women's test easier.
I came over here from Lackadaisical Extremists.
Instead of evaluating these bozo picks on their relevant experience, we should consider their writing skills. Odds are, most of them will be fired and then write a book about their nightmare service under King Orange. Who will reveal the best dirt? That's what I want to know.
Minute 51: she just REFUSES to get it. Scott lays it out for her and again she goes off about identity politics and virtue signaling and making excuses instead of actually meeting Scott at the place where he says, "This is the battlefield." She seems hopelessly oblivious. Unbelievable.
Maybe she'll get a job on The View
Both Dr Means are super smart! Get to know her and her brother
Most of the analysis I have seen really missed why Kamala lost the election. I believe it is primarily the information bubbles we live in. Kamala had a lot of good policies, appealed to unity, a better future, expanding financial opportunities and stayed away from identity politics. Most people that votes for Trump never heard any of her ideas or proposals. None. After the election, they ran focus groups and her policies and approach was much more popular than his and people wished they had known about them. The algorithms favored rage and fear over joy and unity. Until the Dems can figure out yo penetrate that information bubble they will really struggle.
Kamala had no policies......she had an occasional idea and could not verbalize why or how they would make good policy.
@@chrisharvey2308 the truth doesn't penetrate that, it would only come through regulation...in which the complete lack of guardrails is exactly why these social platform's leaders favor conservatives.
This is a very reasonable point. There was a huge disconnect on the left about where people get there information from.
I’m from the UK and was apprised of Harris’s policies. I thought they would inspire more votes and the fact that she wasn’t Trump. Sigh.
You're making assumptions about people who supported Trump that are absolutely ignorant. Many people understand what policies Kamala claimed to support. Mind you that she supported different policies at different times and adjusted them to whatever group she wanted to have vote for her. She lost because she's incompetent and the more people saw her the more they realized that she was as terrible of a candidate as initially thought in 2020. The team around her was just as bad. There will be a lot of change over the next four years and if Gavin Newsom runs against JD Vance in 2028, he would lose in an embarrassing election. The Democrats have lost their way and I fear they'll need to lose several elections before they realize it.
Women do not pass the same PT tests as men in the military. Was shocked when she said that.
My wife was in the army and the physical standards for women were significantly lower.
Raging elections would have been a fabulous title.
More like raging hemorrhoids
4:39 - Let’s take bets on how many of these picks go all the way 4 years, I say maybe 3 top cabinet players… I don’t know which ones, idk if Rubio lasts…
Yes, believe there is some sort of tax exemption if in the cabinet for over a year or so (article back when Rex Tillerson came on board 1.0).
I could not make it past Scott talking about his millionaires only retreat. I sat through it with Pivot. Not interested.
I guess part of being a good orator must be confidence.
But I wonder why I am always so bored with ignorance then, because the two go hand in hand.
Even though I don’t agree with about 25% of your views especially about Trump who is apparently the world’s center of gravity, I love your show and both of you actually.
So more moderate than Liz Chaney?
This is like listening to OJ on marriage counseling.
Two people who never served in the military, and whose children will never serve in the military, giving their expert advice.
There is no mid life crisis only mid life awareness....
Best description I’ve heard yet! Yowza!
Jess is great
Make polio measles mumps and rubella great again
I love Baja😊
On Tulsi…it is hilarious to see democrats so butt hurt about her….she has grown with grace and intellect and that just boggles the traditional democrat minds 😂
Remember what happened to Jeff Sessions during Prez previous administration? Same will happen to Gaetz, if confirmed
Tarlov tends to water down how horrible some of these selections and moves are. Most likely tied to her employer. Also, if Hegseth deeply cares about veterans he would deeply care about all of them regardless of gender.
14:00 Now show Tulsi's rebuttal to that...
I think the talk of purging the flag staff is ... where the concern is.
I know the word to describe the "Summit" group: Aristocrats.
Not hating on you, love the content...but...who is editing? Countless harsh cuts in the middle of a point
Unbelievable that you guys think that the Secretary Of Defense is a tough call. Just wow.
there is no such thing as moderates and no voter actually wants bipartisanship
DOGE has two unpaid co-heads- pretty fiscally efficient. Let's see how and what they cut. The gov't needs an efficiency overhaul and this is the first real effort proposed by any president in the last 50 years. Vivek proposed cutting based on ss number as a thought experiment not an actual policy. Be Better!
Not true. In 2010 Obama formed the Simpson-Bowles bi-partisan commission, which included civilians. The final votes on the panel failed to reach the threshold required by the commission, but a Democrat and Republican together put a plan based on it on the House floor and it was rejected 382 to 38. 22 Democrats and 16 Republicans supported the bill. Obama also tried to get buy-in to merge departments together to reduce head-count and improve efficiency but the blow-back was fierce.
@@archaen2321 Like he said, the first real effort. 38 votes for a bill to try to make a plan to maybe make some recommendations is not realistic.
That being said, an efficiency departments with two co-heads just sounds pretty damn inefficient to me.
I don't see a bronze star on your shelf there prof
I think we shouldn't go there because Scott's morally bankrupt.lol
Day 55: Please bring on Gary Stevenson (Garys Economics)! Thanks!
I’m curious about why they don’t have an episode about the 1.5 Billion that their sweetheart Kamela gave to her star-studded sinking ship of a campaign.
Jessica - "I am conflicted." Jesus, I mean; YOU THINK?!? T his is horrendous and embarrassing. You can tell she's been hanging out at FOX for too long.
Well that's the thing, you can tell she's trying to maintain good relations and access. It's like with Scarborough. I just wish these people would issue a caveat saying that for career, and also often for personal, reasons they're trying to be on Trump's good side.
pete and matt dont need qualifications all they need is a huge wrecking ball.
Women don't have to pass the same physical fitness test.
Silo sibbins? 😂 🤷♂️
When the broadcaster runs out of staff, Mr. Trump will presumably fall back on the next row: Meghan Fox, Samantha Fox, Hannah Lee Fox, Fox Mulder.
Tulsi is the worst pick of the “Dancing with the Stars” cabinet.
RFK is the most low-key dangerous to our society, however he's unlikely to get to do most of his ideas. Trump will keep him on a leash to embarrass him.
They pass the same test but not the same standard…
