Today Joe is out but we have Tommy Carrigan filling in. Tommy takes on one of the most controversial and least-discussed issues in America: the use of our own military on U.S. soil. As the political pendulum swings, he asks a chilling question—what happens when the same machinery of power that's been used to suppress dissent suddenly turns against the other side? Domestic military deployment isn't just a theory; it's a real possibility, and Tommy breaks down how it could reshape our freedoms overnight.
From there, he dives into the global battlefield. Billions of U.S. tax dollars have gone into developing weapons for the war in Ukraine, but the story doesn't end there. Tommy exposes how the military-industrial complex thrives on conflict, constantly innovating and testing new tools of war overseas while ignoring the crumbling security here at home.
Finally, Tommy pulls back the curtain on a story the mainstream media won't touch: President Trump's push to secure rare earth minerals from Ukraine. These resources are critical to weapons manufacturing, and controlling them could mean the difference between military dominance and dependence on hostile nations. Strap in—this episode cuts through the noise and gets to the truth behind war, power, and the future of America.
