Held America hostage literally, remember in 7980 with the actual hostages in Tehran, until the end of an administration.

In that case, it was the end of the Carter administration.

They made the Democrats pay the Iranians, and on the uh day of Ronald Reagan, the Republicans' uh uh inauguration, the Iranians released all the hostages who they'd been holding for 444 days.
voice-verified
What do you think?
voice-verified
I mean could this kind of pain?
voice-verified
be as painful as that was all those years ago?
voice-verified
So let's uh let's talk about the big issue 'cause we started by asking um
voice-verified
Is this whole thing, is Trump, is Hegseth in the Pentagon, uh, making America weaker?
voice-verified
It is still the superpower, it is still the most capable military in the world, uh, although there are these uh, you know, ammunition shortages, which is quite dangerous.

voice-verified
He's making our nation more vulnerable than it's ever been at any time since the cloudiest days of the Cold War.
voice-verified
Partly because of these wars, Jamie, but partly also, and we'll get into this, because of Hegseth, presumably at Trump's behest, completely overhauling the Pentagon to basically remove and fire and deny promotion and otherwise generally preclude some of the really important um military officers and choose those for ideological reasons.
