Summary

Join Jim and Greg as they react to former Defense Secretary Gen. James Mattis slamming President Trump's use of the military in response to massive protests in recent days, with Jim contending Mattis shouldn't be able to drop a rhetorical bomb like that and slip away without scrutiny. They also fire back to the fierce condemnation against the New York Times - including from Times staffers - because the editors ran an opinion piece from Sen. Tom Cotton that they don't like. And they fume as so many athletes and others invoke cancel culture against New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees after Brees suggested that kneeling during the national anthem was disrespectful.
