Sec. Mark Esper | Singing In Ukraine

CBS
About this episode

The hateful, racist theory that inspired a teenager to commit mass murder in Buffalo, NY is a popular talking point among Republican politicians and the host of “Tucker Carlson Tonight.” Elsewhere in America, parents are desperately searching for supplies of baby formula as the nationwide shortage becomes a full-blown crisis. Next, Stephen takes a look at some alarmingly stupid and dangerous ideas the former president pitched while former Secretary of Defense Mark Esper was in the administration. Then, Former Secretary of Defense Mark Esper himself joins Stephen for a conversation about his time in the T*** administration, from which he was fired, which he writes about in his new book, “A Sacred Oath.”
