Pod Saves America Review

This is my 38th podcast. It is currently ranked number 29. The podcast I listened to was titled, "Trump Says War is Over, Vows to Keep Fighting." This episode was released on March 10. This was hosted by Jon Favreau, Jon LOvett, and Tommy Vietor. They talked a lot about how there was no strategic thinking for Trump's war with Iran. I agreed with many of their comments and think it is crazy that America just started a war with Iran with no discussion. I remember there was debate about the war against Iraq but I would not be surprised at all if many people in America would not even know there is a war in Iran. They talked about Trump's son's being involved with a drone company. It's definitely not good that a president who is corrupt enough to make over a billion dollars this year in his public crypto bribe business to have a son who can make money off of wars that Trump can unilaterally declare since apparently we don't have a Congress in charge of that anymore. I do have some criticisms of this podcast. First, one of them called the Department of Defense the Department of War. It is bad enough to hear those in the cult calling it the Department of War, it is even more annoying to hear critics of Trump acting as if Trump can change the name of the Department of Defense when this name is the name according to the law. It is just another example of lawlessness but I believe it is harmful that so many, supporters and critics alike, act as if there is no such thing as truth or objective reality. The legal reality is that it is called the Department of Defense. The second thing is they interviewed Congressman Ryan and praised him for not just making process arguments against the war but arguing against the war on the merits. They treated the fact that this war is unconstitutional as less important than it just being a dumb and immoral war to do. I strongly disagree with this. The Constitution is the most important thing here. The Constitution has safeguards and ignoring it because you think the merits are more important than process is some short term thinking as the process will apply to future wars as well. If we had a Congress that actually kept their oath to defend the Constitution, there would be no chance this war would have happened. I rate this podcast 3/5. I minus a point for profanity and minus another point for the criticisms I mentioned above.
