Summary
Donald Trump is sending the U.S. military into cities and towns all over the country to wage war against U.S. residents…what he calls “the enemy within.” And Secretary of War Pete Hegseth summoned military generals from all over the globe to Quantico, VA, to amplify this.
Brian Becker is joined by Mike Prysner, a veteran, anti-war organizer and producer of The Empire Files, which is premiering a new feature film called Earth’s Greatest Enemy about the environmental impact of the U.S. military this month in cities around the country. Find a screening at EarthsGreatestEnemy.com.
