Episode Synopsis

Chinese Military Drills Send ‘Stern Warning’ After U.S. Arms Sales to Taiwan. China launched major military exercises in the waters and airspace around Taiwan Monday in what it called a “stern warning” against outside interference in Chinese affairs, as tensions grow with the U.S. and Japan over the security of the island. Pete Hegseth Thinks Boot Camp Got Too Soft. If the trainees expected to be chewed out as they formed lines and awaited orders, they were disappointed. There were no Hollywood theatrics. No screaming, red-faced drill instructors. No unprintable insults. The mood was calm, professional, business-like. Now, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth wants to turn back the clock.  Guest: Nick Richardson  Please Like, Comment and Follow 'Philip Teresi on KMJ' on all platforms:   ---    Philip Teresi on KMJ is available on the KMJNOW app, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever else you listen to podcasts.    --  Philip Teresi on KMJ  Weekdays 2-6 PM Pacific on News/Talk 580 AM & 105.9 FM KMJ    | Website  | Facebook | Instagram | X | Podcast | Amazon |   -  Everything KMJ   KMJNOW App | Podcasts | Facebook | X | Instagram   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
