Veterans Day, Vietnamβs Forgotten Heroes, and the Politics of Accountability
Keeps playing with the screen off. The episode is played from The Sanity-Cast β John Fugelsangβs own podcast host.
John marks Veterans Day by honoring the service and sacrifice of veteransβand arguing that the best way to honor them is to stop creating more. He also vents about 11 House Democrats missing a vote to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, considers what the missed vote means for Democratic leadership, and reacts to Republicans elevating Jim Jordan to lead the House. Then, Richard Chew, morning host at WCPT Chicago, joins John to discuss the election results, the work ahead for Democrats, and why party leaders need to hear from voters when they fall short. Next, historian and author Kenneth C. Davis traces Veterans Day back to the World War I armistice, explains the difference between Veterans Day and Memorial Day, and reflects on the Bonus Army, veteransβ health and homelessness, and the costs of war. Finally, Dillon Naber Cruz and former Pastor Desimber Rose (AKA The God Squad) join John to discuss Russell Brandβs conviction, performative celebrity conversions, Christian nationalism, and the progressive faith leaders finding a voice in politics.
