Remember the good ol' days when a president could be talked out of his worst impulses? So do we. This week the guys had a chance to chat with one of the people our current president should have listened to: Wisconsin Representative (and Marine Intelligence Officer) Mike Gallagher.

The Congressman takes us through the poor leadership, political and operational failures, and the dangers we face now that Afghanistan has collapsed. (And if you can, please donate to this GoFundMe campaign to help the family of Rob's friend Habib.) The hosts also get a chance to chat about progressive colonialism and Peter's good feeling about the California recall.

Music from this week's podcast: Memory Motel by The Rolling Stones

    How is that "Donald Trump isn't fit to be president" working out for you, Rob?

    I thought about making it ruder, but eh. He likely won't see it anyway.

    In light of the great things being done by the French Special Forces ( As well as our own retired Special Forces), I can no longer use the term "surrender monkeys" with regards to the French. That term is now reserved for the President of the United States, joebidenstan.
