Replay | Donald Trump Runs the Military & The Role of Militias | Jordan Klepper Fingers the Conspiracy

Originally aired in 2022, when Donald Trump wasn't president, again, yet... But, if Donald Trump (who wasn't currently president) is still allegedly the president, does that also mean he’s in charge of the military? According to MAGA rally goers, yes. Jordan Klepper dives deeper into conspiracy theories surrounding the military with Paul Szoldra, the editor of The Ruck, a weekly newsletter focused on defense and national security. They discuss theories like Jade Helm, how servicemembers react to conspiracy theories, and how high-ranking officials like General Michael Flynn abuse their credibility to spread them. They are joined by Dr. Amy Cooter of Middlebury College who breaks down her research on militia groups like the Oath Keepers, the overlap between members and veterans, and how militias approach “defending” their country.    More of Dr. Amy Cooter’s work: https://www.middlebury.edu/institute/academics/centers-initiatives/ctec    More from Paul Szoldra: https://www.theruck.news/ Learn more about your ad choices.
