Resort to a coup to stay in power. Well, looks to me that the pentagon and the National Security state is committing a coup against trump in the last months of busy presidency by not obeying direct orders from the commander in chief. This is serious business. Go ahead, george. It is extremely serious because he is the commander in chief and he has a right to duty to implement his policy. And what were getting is that theyre bent to is explicitly just ignoring the instructions from the commander in chief. So we get in afghanistan, in which the United States has actually signed an agreement with the town of committing itself to withdrawing by early next year. And the pentagon decide whether or not that are, you know, going to him this policy. Theyre going to condition it on what the military regards as situation on the ground. Even though theres nothing in the agreement with the taliban in which the departure of the americans is condition on the situation on the ground. The only situatio

His article and what it means. Robbie, good morning. Guest great to be with you. Att your recent article reason magazine, the media had four years to figure out trump voters, they blew it. Explain to us, first of all, why you wrote this article. Tell us who you are talking about when you say the media. Guest the media is a broad category.
