Good morning.
It's Thursday, November 21st.

On today's show, the kitchen item you should toss out immediately.
The international criminal court issued arrest warrants for top Israeli leaders.
And the last episode for an iconic voice actor.
But first, a look at how the military could change under president elect Donald Trump.
Trump has selected Pete Hegseth as his nominee for defense secretary.
Hegseth is a veteran and most recently a Fox news host, but he doesn't have military leadership experience.
In fact, NPR reports that if Hegseth is confirmed, he would be the least experienced defense secretary in American history.
And he would come into the role with some big criticisms of the military, characterizing it as ineffective, quote, unquote woke and saying that some of the top brass should be fired.
Here's Hegseth on the podcast the Sean Ryan show, just before he was officially tapped to head up defense.
You gotta fire the chairman of joint chiefs, and you gotta fire this.
I mean, obviously you're gonna bring in a new secretary of defense, but any general that was involved, General, admiral, whatever that was involved in any of the DEI woke has gotta go.
Hegseth has also been critical of women serving in combat roles, saying that it's made our military less lethal and effective.
Here he is again on the Sean Ryan show.
You don't like women in combat?
No.
Why not?
