What are Donald Trump's plans for the military?
Today, we're taking an unfiltered look at Donald Trump's plans for our military. Will having more parades and fewer generals keep us safe in the dangerous world we have? Also, can the administration truly make America healthy again by cutting $800 billion from Medicaid? Plus, there's trouble over the skies of Newark. Alcatraz is poised to return, and the president doesn't know if he has to follow the Constitution. This is Truth in the Barrel. I'm Amy McGrath, along with my co-host Denver Riggleman from Dubai. How's Dubai, Denver? Dubai is warm and sandy. But I tell you, the people are great. I was just in Abu Dhabi today. I'm back in Dubai. So thank you, Amy, for your patience with me broadcasting from the United Arab Emirates about what's going on. So I really appreciate that.
What is the new weekly live show by Amy and Denver?
Well, Denver, you are the international man of mystery, so you're pretty much all over the place, and it's great to do this show with you. We have an exciting announcement. We're so excited to announce our new weekly live show, which is happening starting on June 10th. It's called Cask Us Anything, and it's going to be the most distilled version of Truth in the Barrel. It's just Denver and I talking about the news of the day, answering your questions. and, of course, having a lot of fun with whiskey. So please join us on Tuesday, June 10th, from 7.30 to 8.30 Eastern Time. Can't wait. You know what it is, Amy? It's like the whiskey thief. When you put it in the barrel and draw it out, it still has the char in it. It tastes so good, but you still got that black char from the barrel. That is what it's going to be like on Cascas Anything.
But if you want to be protected from this dangerous world, as Amy said, and you want to see all this incredible stuff that we're doing, you have to subscribe. You got to go to your favorite podcast. You got to download us or you got to subscribe on YouTube. You better be following us on the socials or even on True Social. So in order to get this incredible content to see two beautiful people in action, you got to go out there and subscribe. So you better go do it now. Yeah, and if you want to participate in that live show, you're going to have to do it on YouTube because that's how it works, at least initially on the chat function there. So stay tuned. In June, we're coming at you live. Now, let's talk whiskey. That is very important, okay? It always is. So today, I am drinking one of my faves. This is Andean Black Corn Whiskey, Denver. It's from Lima, Peru.
It is Don Michael is the distillery. I love it. I love the taste of it. The water comes from 10,000 feet up in the Andes Mountains, and it's this purple black corn that they use to make the whiskey. And I just love it. That's why I wanted to highlight it. It's one of my favorites. Top five, I would say. Don Michael Andean Black Corn Whiskey. Cheers to that. I wish I was in a place where I could do the bourbon thing or the whiskey thing with you, Amy. And by the way, if the whiskey from Peru is anything like its people, it's going to be beautiful and awesome. It's great. Yeah. Because I love Perot. All right. Let's get on to this week's news. And, you know, you need to stick around, everyone, to the end of the show because there's going to be more whiskey drinking, at least on my part, while we celebrate some bright spots throughout the week. And we'll do that at the end of each show. But first things first.
Why is a military parade considered controversial?
Trump, of course, is Denver is constitutionally the commander in chief of our military. This is true. He's officially that. But, you know, he sees our military as as his toy. He sees our military as he's the owner of it. And I think what he's doing with the military right now shows you that. I mean, here's the first one, this military parade that he wants to have on his birthday. Okay, let me just kick it over to you to get your thoughts on this before I... Before you go off, Amy. Well, first of all, to have somebody who constitutionally is a commander in chief is true. But we also have somebody who's constitutionally challenged. So I think that's part of the thing that makes me very angry.
