"Meet the Military Vets Arrested for Disrupting Pete Hegseth's Senate Confirmation Hearing" : Josephine Guilbeau and Greg Stoker

Plus Katie Helper in conversation with Max Blumenthal

Those of you who reside in the United States and/or have been following Trump’s election are likely well informed about the following information.

Although I am not a fan of Amy Goodman, her interview embedded below with U.S. Army Veterans, Josephine Guilbeau and Greg Stoker, who disrupted Pete Hegseth’s Senate Confirmation Hearing as Secretary of Defense, is very good and provides background information for each of them.

The foregoing Democracy Now interview was mentioned by Katie Helper during her excellent interviews with Josephine Guilbeau, Greg Stoker and Max Blumenthal streamed live on Wednesday, January 22nd with the following description.

Katie talks with journalist Max Blumenthal about getting kicked out of an Antony Blinken press conference, about the latest in Gaza, Elon Musk's salute, ADL hypocrisy and what to expect from Trump. But first Katie talks to anti-war Army veterans Josephine Guilbeau and Greg Stoker who were arrested for disrupting Pete Hegseth’s Senate Confirmation Hearing.
