On this episode of Anchor Watch, Bobby Jones tackles a week where the headlines refuse to let up, drawing a clear line between the upheaval abroad and the instability taking root at home.
Bobby takes a hard look at the Trump administration’s abrupt policy shift on Ukraine — moving from appeasing Putin to reupping weapon shipments, but only after months of hesitation that left allies and adversaries alike questioning America’s motives. Bobby asks the uncomfortable questions: Who is actually being served by these decisions, and what does this mean for America’s standing on the world stage?
On the domestic front, he discusses the resurgence of diseases like measles — which used to be eradicated, but are now back amid a drop in vaccinations — and failures in disaster response that have left people vulnerable in the wake of severe Texas floods. He also talks about how critical agencies like FEMA and the VA have been hollowed out, and the broader consequences of a regime that prizes chaos and confusion over competence and accountability.
Bobby always asks important questions like: Are you better off than you were a year ago? What does it mean to be a citizen when the system itself is coming apart?
And you always have great questions for him. Don’t forget to leave your questions for Bobby’s next show in the chat!
