Jimmy Dore: 我认为彼得·海格塞思正面临来自各方的攻击，这与他解雇了三名忠诚的顾问有关。这些顾问曾建议特朗普不要对伊朗采取军事行动。我认为海格塞思解雇顾问的真正原因是新保守派势力发现他反对对伊朗开战，所以他为了自保，将责任推卸给了顾问。此外，海格塞思此前的强硬言论，只是为了提升个人知名度，与他现在作为国防部长所应有的谨慎态度并不一致。 对海格塞思的攻击，实质上是那些从战争中获利的利益集团对他的挑战。他们试图通过抹黑他来达到自己的目的。特朗普与将军阶层之间的冲突，也为海格塞思的困境提供了背景。解决五角大楼的混乱局面，需要清除亲华和激进左翼势力，恢复军队战斗力，并重建士兵对领导层的信任。 Mike Benz: 我认为对海格塞思的攻击，源于他对既得利益集团（如对外关系委员会和布鲁金斯学会）的挑战。这些集团从战争中获利，并反对特朗普的"美国优先"政策。海格塞思挑战了这些既得利益集团，触犯了他们的利益，所以他们试图将他赶下台。 Kurt Metzger: (没有在该主题中提供核心论点)

Shownotes Transcript

President Donald Trump is standing by his embattled Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, and brushing off concerns even as new details are emerging about the military information Hegseth shared in a second group chat on Signal that included his family and friends. Hegseth is also dealing with the fallout from a leadership purge at the top of the Pentagon as he cashiered three top advisers who have lengthy histories with the Defense Secretary.

Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss how the knives have come out for Hegseth, demanding his resignation, and why powerful interests at the Pentagon may be eager to see him go — and it has nothing to do with the so-called “Signal” controversies.

Plus segments on Trump’s berating Volodymyr Zelensky for stonewalling negotiations to end the Ukraine War, Trump similarly posting “Vladimir, STOP!” to Putin about recent Russian attacks on Kiev and new Syrian president Ahmed al-Sharaa’s recent attempts to cozy up to Israel.

Also featuring Mike MacRae and Stef Zamorano. And a phone call from Vince Vaughn!
