Pete Hegseth’s Hellstorm and Pope Francis’ Legacy
Maggie is joined by the most reasonable guy in politics, Tom Palzewicz. They dive into the chaotic leadership of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, revealing his reckless use of unsecured internet connections and questionable judgment in handling military intel. Maggie and Tom also explore the ongoing fallout, highlighting a "Wall Street Journal" report of a rattled Hegseth threatening top military officials with polygraph tests (but at least his make-up will look good). They also discuss Pope Francis, grappling with his legacy as a progressive leader who championed the poor and challenged wealth disparity, yet faced criticism for not pushing systemic church reforms. There is stark contrast in leadership and accountability in today's political landscape.
