[Ep. 92] The Daily AHNC News Rodeo

I hate to start the show with a downer, but we lead today with the shocking news of legendary comedian Norm MacDonald's passing at the age of 61. No one knew, but Norm has been battling cancer for some 9 years, keeping it quiet so as not to let the diagnosis "get in the way" of the audience and his comedy. RIP, Norm. The big story today is the reporting from Bob Woodward/Robert Costa's new book "Peril." According to reports, Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Mark Milley had secret communications with his analog in China' People's Liberation Army. The DoD is denying much of this, but Woodward/Costa have written that Gen. Milley promised the PLA chief that he'd prevent then-President Trump from launching an attack on China - once on Oct. 20, 2020 and again on Jan. 8, 2021. Gen. Milley is also reported to have said he'd "warn" the PLA chief if an attack was immanent. Does this count as sedition? Let the cards fall where they may, but I for one would be ecstatic if we cleaned out the entire general staff of every one of our armed forces - except maybe the Coast Guard. The *Coasties* seem to have it together. We also play the complete evisceration of Taliban Blinken by Sen. Ted Cruz. Good times!
