About this episode

The episode discusses the Pentagon's actions against drug traffickers and the implications for Pete Hegseth, alongside a look at Trump's declining approval ratings and media treatment of health issues.

Host John Stolnis, CBN News Chief Political Analyst David Brody and host of CBN's QuickStart podcast, Dan Andros, discuss the controversy over the Pentagon's "war" against drug traffickers out of Venezuela and whether Pete Hegseth ordered an illegal second hit on a vessel back in September. Also, Trump's approval numbers are trending downward, should the Administration be concerned? And, a quick discussion over how the media is approaching Trump's health. Are they being hypocrites or simply asking the kinds of questions they should have asked about Joe Biden?
