On the 24th episode of Big League Politics Live, host Shane Trejo was joined by Rocco Lucente, his former co-host on The Liberty Conservative Podcast, to discuss current events, including what has happened in Afghanistan.

They talked about how many in the “America First” grassroots are understanding that former Texas Congressman Ron Paul was right about Afghanistan and U.S. foreign policy in general in the aftermath of Biden’s nightmarish pullout. They also noted that the notion of “American Exceptionalism” does not seem to apply to the federal government.

“People talk about American exceptionalism, and I agree that the Bill of Rights and Constitution are certainly exceptional, but is our federal government exceptional? No, and who are the least exceptional of all of them? I would argue, the military bureaucrats, the Pentagon bureaucrats, the ones who will sell out the troops, put our heroes into the meat grinder, so they can strut around with all of their medals and get their payola from defense contractors,” Trejo said, arguing that conservatives should support the troops while holding an immense amount of disdain for military bureaucrats like General of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Mark Milley.

Lucente noted that the feds are bringing the war on terror home to be used against American patriots, and military worship from conservatives is only helping this Orwellian agenda come to fruition.

“Capitol police officers who are buying into a Soviet-style, almost Brownshirt approach to policing are disgraceful. The people who are working at the Pentagon are uniquely disgraceful,” Lucente said
