Command Post: Trump Reportedly Wavering on Livestreamed Execution (w/ Margaret Donovan)

Ben Parker and Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling (Ret.) break down the latest developments in Ukraine, including Russia’s escalating attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure, the growing rift between Washington and Kyiv, and how Ukraine is imposing mounting costs on Russian forces. They also examine how the Trump administration’s approach is undermining a critical U.S. ally and what the battlefield’s evolution means for the future of modern warfare.

Then, former military lawyer and federal prosecutor Margaret Donovan joins Command Post to discuss Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s plan to potentially livestream the execution of Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan, including the legal questions, national security risks, and concerns about turning a convicted terrorist into a martyr. They also examine the case of Air Force Major Jason Watson, who faces military charges for political speech in uniform and has reportedly spent months in solitary confinement awaiting trial.
