On this episode of The Siren Podcast, Jo sits down with Colorado Representative Jason Crow. Rep. Crow, a former Army Ranger who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, greatly understands the severity of this moment. Under the leadership of Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth, it couldn’t be more dangerous.
Rep. Crow was one of the six members of Congress who issued a statement last November calling on members of the U.S. military to refuse illegal orders from Donald Trump. Senator Mark Kelly, one of the lawmakers in the video, said: “Our laws are clear. You can refuse illegal orders.”
The video was met by brutal pushback from Trump and his allies, who apparently had a huge issue with lawmakers asking soldiers to uphold the law. Trump then ordered an investigation into the six lawmakers, including Rep. Crow, when former Fox News anchor Jeanine Pirro tried to indict the lawmakers. Additionally, the FBI began an investigation into Rep. Crow, to which he responded: “President Trump is using the FBI as a tool to intimidate and harass Members of Congress.”
Trump tweeted that the lawmakers should be tried in court for “SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!” What actually happened, was that the indictments all failed, and Pam Bondi was fired by Trump.
Rep. Crow continues to speak out today against Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth’s illegal actions in Iran, in the Caribbean, and elsewhere. There is practically no limit to the illegality, from war crime double-tap strikes, to unconstitutional wars, to illegally using insider information to place massive bets on U.S. military activity overseas, allowing Trump and his family to massively profit off their government positions.
Jo and Rep. Crow discuss all this and more, right here on The Siren Network.
