Summary

Marine Corps fighter pilot Amy McGrath (@AmyMcGrathKY) flew 89 combat missions. And ran one of the most-watched 2020 Senate races in America. She is a trailblazing combat veteran, a former Naval Academy professor and a mother of three. And now she’s a regular on MSNBC and leading the fight to protect women’s reproductive health and rights in the wake of the Supreme Court’s Roe decision. She’s a fighter, she’s one of our most popular guests, and she is back. Just in time to explain why the Pentagon is now the focal point for the biggest political fights in America.

0:19.0	Welcome to episode 232. I'm your host, Paul Reikoff. July is always hot.
0:29.1	Never in recorded history has it been this hot, but it's always hot. And the heat makes people do and say stupid things, sometimes very stupid things.
0:43.1	And that's why, even though lots of folks are checked out and on vacation, this July is definitely
