You're listening to Comedy Central.

It's been two years since Donald Trump lost the 2020 election.

And although a stubbornly high number of Republicans still don't believe he lost,

they are at least coming around to the reality that he is no longer the president.

Who is running the government right now?

President Trump. Well, most of them are. For some, the truth is just too much to bear. I found this out firsthand, but I was told at Amaga rally that Trump is still in charge of the military. He's running the government. And the military. And he's running the military. So we should blame him for what happened in Afghanistan. No. Thank you for talking to me, George. Enjoy seeing President, current President Trump. It makes me think of that famous courtroom quote from a few good men. You can't handle the truth. Although, if you think about it, that's a quote from Colonel Nathan R. Jessup, who, as a member of the military,

if logic follows, still reports to Donald Trump. Damn it. Checkmate it again. This

Jordan Klepper figures the conspiracy, and today we're talking about the military. The Trump is

still in charge of the military conspiracy theory. it's just one of many military-related

conspiracy theories. And we have two people here with us today who know a lot about them

and the people who believe them, both outside and inside military ranks. They are Paul Zoldra,

a veteran who covers military issues and is the editor of the weekly newsletter The Ruck that focuses

on national security and defense.

And we're also joined by Dr. Amy Cooter of Middlebury College, who has studied and spent time with

militia groups like the Oathkeepers. Guys, welcome aboard. Nice to be here.

Thank you for having me. Good to have you guys. All right, Paul, I want to start here.

Help us understand the logic behind the theory that

Donald Trump is still in charge of the military. I mean, even with Ivanka bailing on the campaign,

I'm not even convinced he's in charge of his family anymore. Walk us through this. How is he

in charge of the military? Well, Jordan, he's the commander in chief still.

He didn't lose the election. I mean, didn't you read that? That's how it works. If you believe it,

you can achieve it and or convince a bunch of other people you have achieved it. It seems wild.
