A Bad Time To Be At War With Ourselves

Subscribe to The Ricochet PodcastSubscribe

We can debate all we want about the Doomsday Clock's latest setting, but one needn't be a foreign policy expert to know our proximity to midnight is too close for comfort. As it happens, though, we have a foreign policy expert (and soldier) with us today. H.R. McMaster returns to discuss the dangerous moment we're in, what needs to be done with the precious time available, and why American officials need to stop fighting each other and concentrate on the enemies gathering at the gates. (Be sure to order his excellent new book: At War With Ourselves: My Tour of Duty in the Trump White House.)

Plus, Peter, Steve and Charlie marvel at the multifaceted Musk; pick apart Harris's performance in her interview with Brett Baier; and rejoice at another small sign that DEI is falling out of favor even among the sophists.

- Soundbite from this week's open: Baier presses Harris on her administration's unpopularity.

    With respect to H.R. McMaster, I am happy that the military resisted DIE nonsense but the military might very well be poisoned by DIE nonsense.

    It is quite possible. But I cannot be completely assured. I can see what H.R. McMaster says, that some high-falutin guy comes around gives a woke speech, everyone salutes and continues to be patriotic Americans.
