Description: Timestamps:Timestamp: 0:15. The news out of Gaza and Israel is ugly and depressing and emotionally taxing. I talk about why we need to remember some higher-level realities, and that we should keep our our health, emotions, and families at the top of our minds. We also shouldn’t lose our self-control or react without discipline, kindness, and hope in our social media comments.Timestamp: 6:42. My plan for covering the war in Gaza and Israel and why I plan to avoid covering it.Timestamp: 18:42. An update on drone attacks against U.S. forces in the Middle East, and where I see the current threat level.Timestamp: 22:27. The most important fight in Ukraine in the coming days and weeks won’t be on their frontlines — it’ll be in the halls of Congress as the leaders of both chambers grapple and struggle with whether the United States will continue its military and financial support to Ukraine. I go into the weeds of this fight and do my best to offer some possible predictions.Timestamp: 33:10. In news I’d rather not mention, Donald Trump disgraces himself with shameful comments in a public speech, saying he would not honor treaty obligations signed with NATO if Russia invaded that country. I don’t like to cover politics, but these comments directly impact our national security posture. As such, I do my best to show in an bi-partisan way why they are so irresponsible and how we out to deal with our treaty obligations if we’re wanting to change them.Timestamp: 40:25. The Commandant of the Marine Corps had a heart attack this week, and it’s quite possible that working two jobs helped make that happen. Here’s more evidence of how Senator Tommy Tuberville is wrecking our current national security.Timestamp: 45:03. Finally, motivation and wisdom, just for you. This is a public episode.
