SHAUN KRAISMAN (HOST): I want to ask you about this too. This order that we heard from the Pentagon calling on troops to "stand down" so that they can address extremism among their ranks. What do you make of this? Is this a dangerous move?
CHRISTIAN WHITON (GUEST): Yeah, I'm very worried that this is cancel culture coming to the military. You know, I used to say that progressive left-wing baby boomers have ruined every single institution in America except for the military and the FBI. The FBI went off that list in the last administration, and I'm worried now that the military will. There is no evidence of extremism in the military. So the fact that that a new secretary of defense who himself, frankly, chosen probably for his skin color rather than qualifications, would go in and sort of cast this, you know, point a finger at everyone in the military based on nothing. What I really, you know, -- does anyone really think that they're going to go and look it left-wing extremism in the military? This will be a series of struggle sessions and confessions against conservative members of the military. That's what I'm afraid of, at least.
