we're talking about is much, much larger than about just what's happening with Iran.
It's a reflection of the neglect.
of the national security apparatus on having a strong Navy.
And as I've said on this show repeatedly, in nineteen eighty six when I was commissioned, the United States Navy had six hundred warships.
Today we have less than three hundred.
How did that happen?
How is it possible?
Go back and you played some great uh episodes with Natalie here in the last week about
Showing our senior four star officers in bed with the Chinese in front groups.
Talking about how they're gonna manage America's decline.
Well, it's those kind of people that got us in a position, this kind of thinking, not just inside the Pentagon, but uh at the Hill in the Congress.
And so we're reaping what we've sown in terms of uh you know the stresses and strains on our sailors.
I have I have colleagues that uh were on the Ranger, USS Ranger aircraft carrier 1983 off of uh uh off of the North Arabian Sea.
trying to keep the Strait of Hormuz open in nineteen eighty-three uh because of Iranian small boat and RPG rocket propelled grenade attacks against uh uh ships in the strait.
We've been doing this for a long time at various wet ebbs and flows.
And so we're gonna take the Lincoln away now and we're gonna replace it with our four deployed
aircraft carrier the George Washington and we're gonna leave a gap in the Pacific for some period of time.
I'm hearing rumors that hang
Right.
That's my concern is that we are responding to this political pressure which is from the anti-president cadre that are on TV day after day.
