Trump Ignored This Dire Warning…
Ken Harbaugh traces the line from Trump family drone deals, defense stock trades, and oil market manipulation back to General Smedley Butler's 1935 book War Is a Racket, which warned that war too often profits the few at the cost of the many. He sits down with Army combat veteran Kris Goldsmith to discuss the book's re-release, featuring Goldsmith's introduction.

Trump Scrambles After Making Total Mess
Ken Harbaugh breaks down how Trump's bungled Iran war has left both the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab-el-Mandeb under threat, shut down a critical Saudi pipeline, and somehow left Ukraine taking the blame for rising diesel prices — all while new revelations tie a Putin-linked oligarch to Don Jr.'s wedding. Then he sits down with PBS NewsHour's Simon Ostrovsky, who's covered Russia's war since 2014, to unpack Russia's way of war and why ceding territory will never actually buy Ukraine peace.

Trump Family Scandal Just Exploded…
On this episode of Meidas Defense, host Joe Plenzler sits down with The Atlantic’s Graeme Wood to examine what we’ve learned about Al-Qaeda 25 years after 9/11. They discuss Osama bin Laden’s real strategy behind the attacks, how the U.S. response reshaped Al-Qaeda, the current state of the organization, and the major strategic mistakes America made in Iraq and Afghanistan. Wood also explains why one of the biggest lessons of the past 25 years is taking responsibility for our own policy decisions instead of overstating the strategic brilliance of our adversaries.

Trump’s Cult Movement Just Crossed a Line…
Ken Harbaugh sits down with Dr. Robert P. Jones, founder and president of PRRI and author of the new book Backslide, to examine how white evangelical Christianity has fused itself to Trump-era politics. They trace how a once-fringe strain of Christian nationalism became the movement's defining feature — and what it means for a faith Jesus himself would barely recognize.

Hegseth just made a Fatal Mistake
Twenty-five years after 9/11, the generation that fought the Global War on Terror produced two decades of hard-won lessons about how America goes to war; on authorities, on targeting, on what happens when you tell commanders that the lawyers are the problem. Those lessons were never codified into the public understanding. They stayed inside the force. And now the same failure modes are back. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has learned nothing. Retired Navy Commander Bobby Jones walks through some of the lessons the GWOT generation already paid for in full and where each one is being ignored right now at the Department of Defense.

Putin Gives Answer after Trump Envoys Le
Ken Harbaugh talks with war correspondent and bestselling author Sebastian Junger, fresh off a trip to Kyiv where he was the sole American honored at Ukraine's Independence Day celebration. They dig into Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff's tone-deaf "win-win" framing of Russia's war just as Moscow unleashed a fresh barrage of missiles on the very city they'd left a day earlier.

Pentagon Reporter Warns it's Worse than we know...
Meidas Defense host Joe Plenzler sits down with New York Times national security reporter Greg Jaffe for a sobering look at the limits of American military power and the growing culture of fear inside the Pentagon. They examine the loss of senior military leadership, restrictions on press access, and troubling parallels between Afghanistan and the current conflict with Iran. They also break down the vulnerability of U.S. bases in the Middle East, the risks of reopening the Strait of Hormuz by force, and why drones, electronic warfare and modern battlefield technology are evolving faster than the Pentagon can adapt.
