Maryland Governor Wes Moore joins Paul Rieckhoff on Veterans Day for a no-BS conversation about what comes next after Tuesday's election. Moore refuses to let Democrats spike the football — Elon Musk's DOGE fired 31,000 federal workers in Maryland alone, one in four of them veterans, and on January 1 up to 680,000 kids could lose food assistance. They talk through Trump's remaining two years of power, the looming post-9/11 veteran showdown for the presidency between figures like Vance, Hegseth, DeSantis, Moore, Buttigieg and Sherrill, and what it actually means to honor veterans beyond a Hallmark holiday. Veterans are not a charity. They're an investment — and the country still needs them in the fight.
