I'm fighting here on this issue on behalf of the constitutional rights of 2 million retired service members like myself, but really all of us, to be able to say things and speak out about this government and not face retribution.

And Jen, it's not only the freedom of speech, it's the freedom of the press as well.

He's going after Americans' constitutional rights that we've had for 250 years.

I'm not going to stand for it.

And now it seems that Tucker Carlson, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and others are realizing how unhinged this president is.

And now they're even speaking out.

Well, I think with a normal administration, yeah, sure, we could be at that point.

The problem here is the president, when he was looking through people's resumes for cabinet positions, the number one quality, my sense is what he was looking for were people that were going to be loyal to him no matter what.

He put in a bunch of sycophants and a bunch of yes people that, you know, I think I find it hard to understand how they get out of bed every day without a spine.

And I see this in the United States Senate as well, people that will not speak truth to power.

So the chance of them actually doing this is, you know, it's basically zero, little to none.

So I'm not holding my breath.

What we have to do here is win the next election.

Until then, we've got some levers of power we can use to try to keep this president in a box.

One is the defense bill.

But after that, November's coming up here pretty quickly.

I'm not surprised.

I mean, Pete Hegseth has been running around the Pentagon talking about maximum lethality, no mercy, no quarter, which I think most people realize what that is and that there would be a crime to conduct our military in that regard and kill people that are surrendering.

So it's no surprise that we're first hearing about this.

Hey, this stuff isn't new.
