042: Committing War Crimes for God

You’ve heard a lot about WHAT Pete Hegesth is doing in the Caribbean and whether it amounts to war crimes; but nobody’s talking about WHY. Why are Trump, Hegesth, and others in this regime so willing to thumb their nose at things like the Geneva Conventions? Why are they willing to even come close to the line on things like war crimes? Andrew dives in and gives you the answer. Plus, Andrew takes a look at the Supreme Court’s decision on Texas’s gerrymandered maps, the biblical essay from Oklahoma, and more.
