For the rest of the discussion, please join us on Patreon at - https://www.patreon.com/posts/patreon-max-120655230 Katie talks with journalist Max Blumenthal about getting kicked out of an Antony Blinken press conference, about the latest in Gaza, Elon Musk's salute, ADL hypocrisy and what to expect from Trump. But first Katie talks to anti-war Army veterans Josephine Guilbeau and Greg Stoker who were arrested for disrupting Pete Hegseth’s Senate Confirmation Hearing. Max Blumenthal is the editor and founder of The Gray Zone and the author of several books including "The Management of Savagery: How America’s National Security State Fueled the Rise of Al Qaeda, ISIS, and Donald Trump" and "Goliath: Life and Loathing in Greater Israel."

Her dedication to both her military duties and her community reflects her strong sense of duty and commitment to making a positive impact wherever she serves. Guilbeau earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Criminal Justice and is currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Cybersecurity Management and Policy. Her awards and decorations include two Army Commendation Medals and three Army Achievement Medals, recognizing her outstanding service and valor in the face of adversity. Greg Stoker is a former United States Army Ranger. He has a background in special operations and human intelligence collection. He conducted 4 combat deployments to Afghanistan during the unfortunately named “Global War On Terror” and is now an anti-war activist, host of the Colonial Outcasts Podcast, and analyst at MintPress News. ***Please support The Katie Halper Show *** For bonus content, exclusive interviews, to support independent media & to help make this program possible, please join us on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/thekatiehalpershow Get your Katie Halper Show Merch here! https://katiehalper.myspreadshop.com/all Follow Katie on Twitter: @kthalps
