The Pentagon’s Not-So-Straight Talk
Ballot with Patrick Gutfield - Where Politics Meets Pop Culture
About
From Washington DC where apparently nobody in the military is gay, Patrick Gutfield takes you inside the latest moral panic — Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is furious about Netflix’s new gay Marine series Boots. Meanwhile, Trump’s busy scheduling imaginary peace summits with Putin, a woman at a Brewers game calls ICE on a Navy vet, and NASA discovers an asteroid just in time to tell us it almost killed us. Just another perfectly normal day in America.
