## Resource

Steve Schmidt joins "The Jim Acosta Show" with a story that has to be heard to be believed: Kash Patel snorkeling at the USS Arizona, a submerged tomb containing the remains of 1,800 American sailors. The pattern of desecration — Arlington, Dover, Normandy, and now this — never stops, and as we head into the Memorial Day long weekend, he connects it to a broader collapse of the institutions and alliances built on American sacrifice. With Trump at 30% approval and the country starting to push back, Steve and Jim both wonder how much more can be tolerated.
