Swallowed By An Earth Mouth
Summary
Armstrong and Getty discuss President Trump’s UN speech threatening to "annihilate" Iran, contrasting it with ongoing diplomatic meetings and the upcoming Trump-Xi summit. Guest David Drucker analyzes the strategic implications of the China summit and confirms a critical shortage in U.S. munitions stockpiles due to decades of underinvestment. The hosts also address the 1619 Project, arguing that underfunding is not the primary cause of poor school outcomes, and cover a lawsuit against Six Flags over a roller coaster causing brain injuries.
