Summary

- Gerry unloads on Joe Kent for resigning mid-conflict, accusing him of abandoning his counterterror post and handing ammunition to Trump’s critics. - He argues Kent’s “no imminent threat” claim ignores Tehran’s long record of proxy violence against Americans. - Tulsi Gabbard emerges as the loyal contrast, with Callahan praising her for backing the commander-in-chief after seeing the intelligence. - The show frames the military campaign as effective, pointing to fresh strikes, regime losses, and solid support from much of the Trump base. - Callahan closes by unloading on Texas Democrat James Talarico, portraying him as a polished spokesman for progressive excess.
