Lemon Drop | Pete Hegseth Is Punishing a Senator for Telling the Military to Follow the Law
About this episode
Don breaks down the outrageous move by Pete Hegseth to censure Mark Kelly and threaten cuts to his retirement pay, all over a video Kelly made with other lawmakers reminding members of the military that they are not required to obey unlawful orders. Let's be clear about what's happening here. Hegseth isn't enforcing discipline, he's punishing a senator for telling the military to follow the law. This is dangerous, unprecedented, and part of a broader pattern by the administration to clamp down on dissent and intimidate anyone who challenges its authority. A stark look at power, retaliation, and why protecting lawful speech matters more than ever.
