"As that goes but Well and it was an all. This is a multiday. Oh yeah it was multiday campaign. You can't even. They show that in the course of two hours but in it really kind of went. I mean the drama in that you don't need to make it up the just the drama of in the morning. It didn't for the for the united states. the morning didn't look good. We were down thirty eight enough right right and then the afternoon and evening are completely different story and so it's just a different It was it was just for me. Like i really appreciate the sa- pro- appreciate scimitar cinematography in that. And just how. Like i learned like oh my i have. There is no way i could have done. I mean flying an arm and like yikes. Yeah they did a really good job with the cg to put you in the highlights. The in a lot of a lot of points like maybe not for me do you Do you ever use youtube as a like. Go back and see what other people are saying about this. From a reference standpoint or from a from a research standpoint is youtube favorable for you at all in that or is pretty much a just useless I don't watch movie reviews or anything like that If i'm doing an interview by alluded to earlier. I specifically try to avoid looking up things about the the real history. If i have a an expert that i can rely on. So i can ask that question while we're recording If it's something. I'm doing individually than yeah. There may be some some things i try to I try to stick to Reputable sources you know you know and that's us you end up being more books and things like that up. There's not reputable people on youtube. But it's also a lot more to sift through a lot of times so i do enjoy. I mean i do enjoy the history podcast or the history episode on youtube. By if i can find some good ones. There's some really well done. There are some that are out. that was just watching. You know afternoon once An account of statue liberty out. And i was like oh you know what i knew. Some you know from france and but i had forgotten about all the like. It took them forever to get the funding. This didn't have you know. Today we just pay for it but then like the government was like. Yeah there's no money for that like we're going to have to. They had boxing matches to in the united states. They will host. Boxing matches to help pay 'cause. Us agreed to pay for the foundation. Like we. okay. We'll put the pedestal up. Okay france you pay for the actual statue type thing well again. There's there wasn't money for that. It had to be raised and so they did concerts and band things and parades and you know they even toured the statue of liberty around and you were before it was erected for people to see it parts of it not the whole thing but it was just like. Oh yeah that's right. It was a completely different day. You know we just want somebody would have paid for that thing now but but the american people paid for that you know out of entertainment dollars type thing so out of auburn at all your episodes any favorite. Stand out to you as you think about like man. I really like this is it. is it Cheap to say the one. I'm currently working on. It's always what's what's what's coming up folks folks haven't listened to you before. What kind of stuff do you have coming up. Yeah well. I've got three parts pacific series episode to actually released As of to this they re released today Episode three will be out in a couple of weeks and then i've got the interview about Added trinity's gate. Which is the vincent bengo bio-pic with stephen navy And then After that i got the book interview. And i've got a couple of others that i'm that i'm close to but you know until it's actually scheduled. You sometimes timing changes. Do you think for people. Listening to your podcast. Better to come to the podcast. Having watched the movie or the series. I and then listen or the other way around I've i've heard some of both where some people are like. I don't know if. I want to watch the movie. And so i wanna kind of get an idea of it before and I i will say. I spoil every single movie. You're gonna know how it is. So there's there spoilers because we walk through the movie-star mining for sure so if you're okay with that Then cool. I try to set up in my questions and one of the reasons why i do so much. Research watching. The movie itself is i. Try to set up how what's going on in the movie. 'cause i mean we know. People usually aren't watching a movie weather podcasts. Whether you're listening to a podcast usually are out and about and you haven't seen a movie in a while or if at all so i try to set up that around the question itself to give an idea of. Here's what happened in the movie okay. How much of that actually happened. Jim shoemaker who'd chiming in before jim. Let us know chat. What do you do Do you watch the movie. I and then listened to the podcast. I think i might would watch it. Then come to the podcast. Then watch it again. I come back to it and now hearing kind of. Oh yeah okay that makes sense. I the advantage and we joked about lord of the rings a little bit earlier but when i watched lord of the rings my wife had read the book twice and so i had her whispering in my ear. The whole time like okay. This is why this is happening. You know it. I can but i like. Oh actually this is kind of helpful to get Kinda fill in some context. In and i would think watching it a second time. After listening to the podcast. You might get that historical fill in like. Oh yeah oh now that makes sense why that happened in the movie that way because of these events that were the behind the scenes or they combine them together. Don't you think yeah. I mean there's not that much history and ordering we'll say meaning maybe like in the imitation gal right. Where where you get You get. There's a way more imitation game in particular way more to it than you can possibly show. Yeah in so much that just recording. That was so much fun to to do that episode. I will say For going into imitation game. If you haven't yet either watch the movie. I listen to you episode. I didn't episode on the token bio-pic with John garth who is. He wrote the definitive book on tokyo. Talking great wars. His his book All about talking during Will one and so doing that..

He's a filmmaker is made. I put it this way. He's garnered a bunch of awards including two oscar. Nominations two grammy awards Fifteen emmy awards He has made some of the you know. Probably the best documentaries Any of us has ever watched throughout the course of our lives as From brooklyn bridge to statue liberty to bass hitting me civil war into now the new mohammed documentary. This fall john byrne kimber guys. Good lord sir. And he's in a row and he's in a booth. I love this is cool. I've seen so many of your films. It's so great to meet you. It's my pleasure. It's great to be with you today. Super cool I will say that you sir Are responsible for my addiction baseball I followed every sport a little bit for my whole life Up until about twenty years ago and Maybe it's more than that. Now maybe twenty. Five years ago. When i saw the baseball documentary Multi multi multi part and. Now that's all. I follow because you that series of documentaries Got me to see it. More as a game as opposed to a sport and all the history and the pageantry and the elegance of it. Yeah and all the people you got to speak about it Thank you for that moment. Great you know. it's it's the only it's the best game that's ever been invented. That's that's for sure but it's it's so interesting that we don't sort of think about the obvious that there's this is the only sport in which the defense has the ball. Yeah and you know. It's not the not the ball of the puck or the or the skinheads. It's it's the person. Yeah and and there's and there's no time limit in other words there till there's a winner you know what by the way while we're despairing other sports in an excuse. The shot at hockey Ken kasim such an incredible and he will climb through the mike. He's such reverence for what you do football. It occurred to me last year. That american football and i want to hear your views on this big Because you're a very learned man a American football only like three people ever touch the ball. So you can be a a guy who's alignment on either side. Pick your side by the way defensive or offensive linemen and you can have a hall of fame career. I played eighteen years in the nfl. And you never touch the ball. So are you a football player or a wrestler. Hey it's okay but you know. George will's had a great line about that in our baseball series. He said that that football has two of the worst habits in american life. Frequent committee meetings punctuated by violence Berber description now. Let me ask you. First of all i want. Say this you're standing. You're in a booth. Are you standing in the booth. I'm sitting in a booth okay on a stool honestly and you have incredible posture. You have incredible posture. The posture of of somebody. who's standing. Because i often put a book on my head. If you guys want to keep finishing school aspects of this no no but i i wanted to say that you I love that you're in a booth. It really tickles me So i i am any kind of we're gonna jump all over the place a little bit and the reason i bring it up is your films are such incredible films. And you've told so many great stories and so many aspects of an get in this little bit later a of american life you. You've dissected so many different areas that have you know represented a real cross session of kind of what makes america america or makes americans americans But in order to to tell that those stories over the end by the way jason. I hate the term storytellers. But truly you do tell. A story I in you. You use Narrators and voiceover artists. Who aren't necessarily voiceovers. And what i'm getting to is. This is two part. It's like by the way this question is twelve part. I'm familiar with that. The first voice over. I think that you use with david mccullough the first.

I didn't think it'd not great. Yeah i will say super bowl ring. It's pretty bad asses being like. Yeah russ you want. Give me your ring. Yeah no tom brady and giselle all. He is the same with russell like he. He obviously going to be there. You know normally playing because normally they drew now september right So they got other things to focus. Yeah from he's like sorry guys can't practice mecca. Yeah yeah megan fox so we talked about whether or not megan fox was going to go and we songs i mean. We forgot the machine gun. Kelly concerts in new york. Yeah we didn't think back and fox would go without machine gun. Kelly but megan fox was there and i thought she looked right. Another one beautiful. The dress is interesting. The one thing that it's a pretty dress the one thing i didn't i didn't love the the banks because i think they were like very they looked like also kind of cheap like they were so clearly clipping banks. I think it's not my favorite look hairstyle. But i understand like maybe old hollywood type of i definitely i got the idea behind it. Just i don't get like blended in with her actual hair as well as it. Maybe maybe could. In a in a different way. Verse dante versus came with melanoma. He was in red leather for saatchi. Which i love like this is know look that. That's the fringe the cowboy the red leather love. It you love when a guy comes in there and does something different and crazy and his not just wearing a black suit would love that Lord came in like this guy. Just got us jacket skirt kind of alert. Like kinda love. the she's just like in flats forget it. I'm wearing flats smart. She has like only somebody like lord could pull off something like this. I think she's the queen of a good headdresses headbands type situation. The the top of it is like wide open as another thing where someone like. You have to have the absolute perfect cleavage to pull off that words not too much. I want to give a shout. Corey gambles pink shirt. I really like it. I like his Necklaces as well. I like all his jewelry. I've been corey campbell's yet there. You go corey unless your hips though. Y'all corey show us those fucking hips. Though kris jenner wears the same thing everywhere she goes and she crushes at exactly jenner leg. I said she was like you know she was asked into the theme schwerin. Tom ford. he's american. So that's that's and she is so funny because every year she does it waits at the top of the stairs for her children's show up takes videos of them. It is always very cute. And you love to see that mary j. Blige i loved golden goddess beautiful stunning always super super. Classy as always arena shake. This is one that we saying. Big floral power. I've really liked the gardens tie really liked the top of this visually the bottom and the train but the bottom half of the dress. I didn't love love the short hair. And i get it because the dress is obviously very elaborate. But no jewelry which i thought was interesting. Like she's got no. sometimes. I think jewelry can take away from an alpha and i think in this case it would you think i totally even stop. No i totally think so. Sometimes yeah i'm not. I mean i'm not comparing myself to the cow but sometimes when i put on an outfit i usually wear the same necklaces every day. Sometimes upon alpha and be like no the this outfit needs no jewelry gonna make weird. Yeah and in this case. I feel like there's not exactly a color like silver or gold. That's going to match with their specifically fair virgil war. Turkey hat on his head will farrell. Happy thanksgiving looks. Yeah you know. Sometimes it gets gets pretty crazy. Shockingly meghan re piano was the only when i heard this theme. I thought we're going to get someone dressed like goddamn statue liberty. We're going to get someone in like a red white and blue giant cape or train or something recreating. The statue of liberty in a cool way would have been awesome a color like that and why did nobody like wrapped around. Amanda gorman was the only one who said like her she felt like her look was inspired by the statue of liberty but even but she felt like her dresses blue. It was a beautiful blue color but she was really the only one who had even had mentioned it. Williams meghan repea-. No you know when full flag the blue blue shirt with the red jacket and pants with the stars wasn't shocking. Because of the fame someone had to do so much to do is the same with like sunni lee came and she was just like in the very cute like beautiful goal. Dressers like i'm a gold medal super super fitting At that point addison right. I really liked. Addison raise hair. Yeah i thought that that was a good idea to change it up. Yeah i didn't love the dress. The i thought that she could have had a major moment. Here at the like dixie. I thought really did something different with both her outfit. At cal enter after parties. Like you really took a risk. She went out of her way as the cow. Is your first carpet. I rate i just get a new stylist. Every addison rate is so beautiful. And i just never love her outfits into each their own with their style. Yeah but sometimes. I'm just like somebody give this girl better option. Yeah like i. I saw a lot of people's and look like rexel which gotta does but nice stress but just why yet and it is something that has been seen before i mean. Everyone's saying look good courtney's worn vintage dress. Having rosie huntington. Yeah kelsey night was on her instagram story and was like i wore this. Also you gotta give her something new and add a little you know. The hair was different. But yeah as she's so young this arm sangley. She's so young. I met gala. You don't you know. I think sometimes you go in the mindset. We're like i need to look really grown up. And that's why. I liked like dixie with the mini dress in something different where it's still felt youthful but good for that Carpet specifically tracy ellis. Ross you know love her she. She always likes to be wacky with her fashion. Where something different. This is another one. I think it was like. I'm going to wear whatever the fuck i want be..

Let them recycle that right back into integrating these people in america can't argue with bert. I met a lotta immigrants in my life. And i mean they all mean mostly. We're few there are some exceptions. But they're almost all like super patriots right. They love america more. Then we'll average americans don't even think about it at all. You know what i mean. I agree i agree with you on that but afghanistan is a little bit different. A sure could be know. I mean part the hessian soldiers that were hired by the english common fight the americans. They're like man. It's nice here settled in pennsylvania. You know what i mean. Sure i think you know we. We ought to focus on perfecting our country so that everybody who comes here wants to be an american and not be sleeper cell waiting to blow up our mall. I hear you on that but we got a lot of work or stopped killing people for this is what the guy on c. span asks me. I did the c. span interview. And he's like well. How do we protect america from terrorism. Then i go look man to be perfectly honest we have to stop supporting it. I the italy province a qa p in different places where. We're actually supporting these guys. That's a first thing we have to do is not that off and then secondly we gotta stop the war against them to and we got a call off the whole policy of dominance in the middle east. I asked harry brown who ran for president. Two thousand on my show in like four. Oh yeah well. If you've been present on september eleventh what would you had done. And he says well. I wouldn't have happened. Because i would have ended all support for israel and i would have got all our troops out of saudi arabia. Completely renounced the policy of american military dominance over there anyway so they would have called off the attack. 'cause they wouldn't have gotten a mileage out of doing the thing but then if it happened anyway then whatever i would have done extremely limited mission to get only the guilty and call it all often give my statue liberty speech every day for four years or whenever it was the rest of his answer and So i think that you know is the answer right there. He start doing the right thing. Stop doing the wrong thing. Start doing the right thing as soon as possible. That is the number one. Best way to provide american security and yet look i completely agree and and i completely agree with the late. Great harry brown. I mean he's absolutely right about that. I'll say one more time. Like i always say that what harry brown wrote on september twelfth which is archived up antiwar dot com. If you wanna read it as one of the greatest pieces of american rating ever and not just because it was beautiful and to the point but because the The unbelievable courage that took on september twelfth. Two thousand one to write. That piece is just like It's just incredible But there is something to the fact that like yes you you wanna stop the killing that inspires so much hatred but there is as we know it is a reality that that killing inspires a lot of hatred. So if you were to end that and announce the american policy and stopped doing that and all of that that might be. That's the best way to go but to just stop the killing one day. Not renounce everything. Thank all servicemen. For what they've done and then say all you guys who claim to have been american allies in this country. Come on over. That is a little bit more dangerous. I want to ask you about this. Because this is a big thing and i wanted to get your your take on this. The the accusation Which is the biggest one coming that that biden is being criticized for is the idea of the stranded americans in afghanistan. I gotta say. I have some kind of mixed feelings about this I do obviously i get. Yeah it's a horrible thing to think that there are americans who want to get out of afghanistan who are unable to But i do see this being used as as an attack on biden as he's doing the greatest thing he's ever done and i think that you know i i've heard some people In the state department. Say which i gotta say sounded really fairly reasonable to me that they were like look. We've been putting cables out since january. Two to like let the americans they are. No that like this war is going to be coming to an end. You really should get out of here now and it does seem that even with the you know the weather. You went on trump's timeline or biden's timeline or frankly any real time line of actually ending this war. I don't know logistically how they're gonna get americans who are out in the countryside go to. It's not like they're just going to run a shuttle bus around and pick everybody up and shuttle them back to the airport in kabul. So i just like realistically what could have been done to to help these people or what can be done. I guess now they're saying they're going to try to negotiate with the taliban but don't is it just the fact that none of them took trump's seriously or biden seriously because it's not as if this wasn't announced months and months and months in advance that we will be leaving at this time so why have people not been when i don't understand why they haven't been trying to get out. Yeah i mean. I don't know what the state department has been telling them but they should have known. I mean if you're in afghanistan it's kind of your responsibility to keep up to date on current events and see what's going on here and i don't know who these people are. I mean i think you know. Some of them were mercenary. Some of them are people who want stay. You know who feel like they're welcome enough that they're not endanger whatever and wants to be there. There may be some people who just made bad decisions there. But i do have to say. Though that the biden government they really did screw this up really badly and that the problem is they pay themselves into a corner right they would have had to tell the whole truth. That look man. The afghan government and military is like celinda or citi group or something. It can't exist without american largest price comparison. That's all i meant to say on kennedy last night and forgot my line. I just call it a potemkin village anyway so they would have had just be upfront about that right look. There's nothing we can do. We're leaving and the government and the military. They're going to fall right. And so we're just going to completely annihilate all the equipment all the weapons everything that we've left for the afghan national army so the taliban can't get their hands on it and we're going to pull out every civilian that we can between january twenty first and may i everybody get your shit together and get ready. We're leaving all of us. We gotta go now. The thing is.

Give me your thoughts on shrek. See how much he cares about that. Here's the thing though we're going we're glossing over what i think is the these singularity when it comes to wow found okay. It's the tim allen. Joe great so martin. Short calls him up. He's like listen. I have a buyer for these stocks that we're gonna on the coffee futures. Whatever offload them. He doesn't specify mafia right away. Show which is what you wanna do because you want to get him to come to the meeting in the first place was them by saying mafia short until he gets there so tim allen is like hey little kid we have magic in my jungle to watch this. Put your arm out kid. Hails a cab right jerez. So the so this cab bulls up. There's a sikh gentlemen maybe uh-huh maybe it's a sikh gentleman hanging out the driver's side seat writing driving this automobile. If you will sure the kid goes wow magic to which tim allen quickly volleys back to this child. Yeah magical. Beefy understands english. That is every time he enters a taxi. Cab restaurant astore hospital black church any of these things. That's his first. Those first words speak english. I just can't i. I can't i just fucking can confused language jokes. I think just prior to this there was an interesting one about pussy. Now right this fuck pussy joe. There was now. The spider guess is named pushy and the spider gets long. My tikka does that but he says pucci noted. That is why i think you're talking about her vagina when her ass or vagina okay. So it's not a joke. It's an actual horror moment of this. Where he's running around the house and goes to work she she's alone asleep and all who she and like he barges in on her and like she's like that you're not gonna see anymore pushy. Around here like she's she's referencing it back so he lives up to the blanket. Oh you have a nice pushy. Pucci nights i thought he was. Just you know doing gibberish. Looking for the god damned spy gibberish. Looking for something else. Holy toledo is living in the hallway until tim allen gets. That's what do you want. It doesn't matter because she gets held hostage in the bathroom by that spider. I'm sorry this is where we're kind of jumping all over the place. But this is where he. He escapes the apartment. Because tim allen's like he you know he says like we'll go to the statue of liberty tomorrow so then we come to this day kids like. Hey let's go to the statue liberties like a tomorrow. Rough rough kids like faulk that dude. This lady and pushier locked in the bathroom. I'm going to go to the statue of liberty myself. And he goes and they're like they're not referencing this but i wish they did because of the way the original seen does and he's crawling all over the top of the statue of liberty like he crawls out of the the crown and he's on top of it and they're doing some really bad green screening rear projection shit and i was like. Oh maybe this could be the final scene. Hitchcock's saboteur kit. Yaldo fucking deaths in reality that the original has The kid climbing the eiffel tower. In of course yeah and then this is a whole fucking thing also though that kid would be shot dead. Yeah also i. You know you can't crawl out the fucking top of that. It's not like the ghostbusters where they were hanging out of the crown. Do you get up there. It's fucking four little windows and you're like fuck. I waited in line for this. And yeah you do. You put jelly on the sides of the inside of the statue of liberty. It won't dance. I tourist it. won't days mythbusters retired tax. Return on smucker's. I know what i'm talking about. Tax tax refunds. Men were out. You don't get those no more so he winds up one of the things. That's the reason these in new york is like his chief to become a man he has to like. Get the fire from the statue of liberty for all. that's right. Yeah the the the the chief of this village. Tim allen kept calling the skipper. So sketchy russian meeting david ogden steers is being scary. Tim allen's like get the fuck outta here he's we're gonna leave with martin short. Do not sell these stocks to these russian mobsters. I don't want to end up dead. One also like launder money for them or shorts like does this. Apparently he's the whole thing was like they bought these coughing users and then coffey was tanking and their china's secretly offload them without them with the mafia knowing that it's tanking yes yes and basically dividends sears buys a million dollars worth he gives weren't sure two million dollars in cash and now that's happening in this movie and i'm like what the fuck that was kind of hesitate to legitimate laugh. But when because like tim allen realizes what's going on in the scene these like not happy that they're involved in the mafia shore and the guy like sets down the suitcase and opens it and it just like lose bills everywhere and he just turns to martin short. I don't remember exactly the line is but it's cash great yet and i was like. That's how fucking tim kind of funny. He could do some stuff sometime. Most of his talents are yelling. Yes he doesn't really have jokes. He just yells different voices. His best movies. What's that Guy red belt. Oh no alex quest. Yeah gosh. I am martin. Short does does the thing. He sells all these stocks At some point. Lalita bitch gets tired of tim allen. I think it's got to do with Who she pucci and seeing that and then they they she's like we need some time alone. So like he dumps this kid off with martin short and i'm like what now martin short as a whole fucking family that i'm gonna be. What about bob. But i'm meeting the family it's insane. It's it's leelee sobieski. It's the woman from that. Episode of seinfeld were george breaks up with her. She calls her pretentious. Yeah she's doing jerry's accountings of getting audited. She goes to the nut house and she's in a bunch of stuff. But yeah you trip. She's a masters love interest in senior. Wow and manina. that's just. That's just the nineties right there. So bad for her. And there's this kid. There's a a young a young boy who plays his son who i went to high school with. Get out a champion. I knew that in advance show just asking you to please leave and get out. So what was this kid like and science class. He was younger than me going i. You bullied him though right relentless. Beat the shit out of this. I was not a bully in locker meet. It's a kid that you shelvin lockers right. He's this kid because this kid is suppressing a ferocious bronx accent. God dude that accent is yearning debris a lion roar through a mistake and get your autograph on this year pizza box. It's fucking great dude. Because people in our inner circle will know like if you get some some alcohol in steve sadek and you put them in close proximity to his brother. Yeah sure it was a great guy.

It's a starter and not a main course He also said it is saved by the fact that bano does bano better than anybody else. I love that who else is doing bonnet right. Apparently nobody anymore but so he refers to the us as a desert rose in a siren dress is torn in ribbons and bows. He certainly knows this country probably better than most americans do. Yeah and all the things that are wrong with it. The only thing that remotely felt like the statue liberty mean was the naked flame line. We wonderfully referred to the naked flame which i name a ban naked flame. That's awesome. that's a good band name right there. No song was released as the fourth single from the record and ended up at number forty four on the bill or one hundred. It's my it might not be my favorite on the record but it's still good. Yeah it's still good. Well that's the thing about a record like this. There's no bad track album there isn't. There's not even a track where i'm like. I skip this was usually. I pretty much listen to like. I said i had not listened to this album fully through until very recently. But it's one of the ones where normally when we're doing this if it's an album i haven't heard before there's a couple of tracks that after i've heard him once or twice a couple of getting this one not so much this one. I have listened to the whole thing from beginning to end pretty much every time. What is that with or without you hot gabbage trip through your wires trip through your wires so the first side of the record is just loaded with hits like i mentioned but the second side really nails the desert and more specifically the southwest imagery The song has some great blues vibes to it. A single isolated guitar. I don't know exactly why. But it feels like the south west to me that kind of dusty guitar and a super hot arid.

Is i as i trudged out to the the planes of long island to build a log cabin. Somehow i think he's not exactly telling the truth was i may speaking of not telling the truth. Yes worst security. let's talk about that was very slick. But i'm going to counter that border security the next segment. Let's talk about. I'm sure you've got strong opinions on this. Lots of reports about what mark did didn't say is chairman of the joint chiefs blocking somebody's nomination today would be director of the cia. Talking about some kristallnacht. Old reichstag moment that donald trump was engineering at this point as the most senior military officer in the united states. Wouldn't you expect a statement of no. I didn't say. Oh yes. I did jim. Yeah just a little context on why this is actually kind of a really important moment and that is there are so many issues. Bubbling up on. What's called civil-military relations. I mean something. You know a lot about the teaching years in military schools but this is how what's the appropriate behavior of military offers officers to their civilian leaders because under the constitution it's it's clearly defined that civilian officials have authority over the us military but that the us military fundamentally has an obligation to the constitution to provide safe selfless service to their nation and we have the very unusual position which is different elsewhere where the chief gyn uniform is often a commander here. He's not. He has an advise oriel possession by the constitution he advises the print doesn't command anything. The command authority goes into the president. To the sector defense to the service chiefs the pentagon tummy come on in the field right. There are so many issues where civil-military relations are are really almost any. I've been doing this forever. I haven't seen anything since the nineteen seventy s since the post era when the popularity the military. In the nuttier. We just came out of the draft. The military's in horrible shape people cus- leaders of careerism. It was just a ho awful terrible time. And i thought well i've never of course we have the reagan military. Built up the resurgence of respect for the military and when we have ups and downs trump had look. Honestly every president's had a few if you look we've had from the firing macarthur revolt of the general so it's not unusual for there to be bumps in the road but it consistent concern about. Is our military healthy. Our leaders selfless are. They are political leaders overly interfering. I haven't seen anything like this in half go ahead transgender policy and we we whipsawed between trump and biden. Now is that because we got different information or the politics just widely different Woke the critic teaching critical race theory in the military telling soldiers that are inherently racist and that their other soldiers that that feel uncomfortable around them sexual violence blah dispute about have a handle that people wanting to totally redo the chain of command on on how what about. This seems a tactical story. But i think it really illustrates this this persistent tension that you're trying to highlight the story from his texas. Us army base where the local command emails have now been leaked where they are staging these illegal immigrants in a a. Us army facility and the commander is ordering his subordinates. You must not take photographs. You mustn't talk about the illegal immigrants on this base. That's not good for the health of this civilian control of the military. All all the core is jim. Yeah sense ordering people to lie yes for for. Is there a military purpose for that or is political or is it just political at all these things together and this is some enormous tension here and now we have the story breaking work literally the claim in the book. Well here for so we we have. We haven't even seen the so. It's a claim which is allegedly in the book which is about a conversation allegedly actually took place where the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff basically insinuates. The that the president united states was planning military coup. You would think if you're the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff and this news broke everywhere. And this is a pretty sensitive issue and a pretty sensitive comment and i think people on the left and right both have a lot of questions and and concerns and issues on this. Maybe for different reasons but but they would. You would think there would be a clarifying comment from the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff and we're now over twenty four hours near the story and we have had silence so you would think for the white house. They're like no. Don't say anything because we want people to believe that that that donald trump wanted a coup against america so delight don't say but but on the other hand if you if you didn't say it what were you just ahead and say that and if you did say why wouldn't you clarify an exactly what you meant and the thing is if you really thought. Donald trump was planning a coup in the united states. Why wouldn't you resign. You should have that exactly if you wanna if it really happened But you made the point before we came on air that he still the chairman and he's going to have to testify at some point. He's he's not gonna swim. Pass this question the next time. He's on capitol hill right and so you just wonder like why wouldn't you come out and say well. This is what i. I believe i i. I think it really raises issue of of of loyalty of of of appropriate military conduct and behavior. Would you add on top of this. Another concern is we. We wanna take out extremists in the military. And then we're hiring people who are clearly political hacks to be in charge of hunting down extremists in the military. It looks an awful like political persecution of people in the rank and file And on top of that you know. We have this report that that tom cotton and dan crenshaw a few other sponsored. The mabel report basically looking at interviewing a whole bunch of people in and saying people are distracted. They're not focused on their job. They're worried about the officers being risk averse. They're they're worried they're doing bureaucracy. They're not focused on the war fighting. Cast and this is the great challenge in the seventies as we weren't focused on the mission of providing for the common defense in the american people. We were doing all this other kind of busy work. And there's two since there on the one hand. Look we understand you go from one president to next policy change. We get that the pentagon we changed the slides on but political interference in a military activities and driving political agendas that is beyond the pale.

"Today we have a guest on the podcast by the name of Solomon Schmidt. Now Solomon then Schmidt is still a kid but he's an author he's sixteen years old he's already written five books and all the books are history books he also plays piano and is a member of the Civil Air Patrol. Pretty good track. He's got going right now. Solomon Welcome to the show. Thank you so much for having me on. It's very good to meet you you too so all of the books that you've written our history books. What made you start to get interested in history? Well my mom has been reading to me from the time. I was really young For as long as I can remember she was putting books in my hands. And she's the one who taught me how to read and write and I guess there never really was a time when I wasn't has an interest in history I can remember specific children's book. It was an overview the statue liberty and how it was built was brought to America. There was a little picture book for eight eight nine year olds. But that's that's the first American history book I can clearly remember. I remember from that. I was really interesting. That titanic for the longest time so. We're not a lot of books on that. I watched the nineteen fifties sixties version of it. And like you said I just can't remember a time when I wasn't interested in history and it it spiraled into getting interested in specific topics like World War Two which I was on for the longest time Winston Churchill all the battles and generals and civil war American Revolution Revolution usually military history so what fascinates me the most. But I can't remember a time when I haven't been learning about it and intrigued to learn more on read more and study more. Know if I've heard correctly is there some connection to your family in the military and specifically Pearl Harbor. Yeah my great grandma who turned ninety eight just a couple of weeks ago he was actually at Pearl. Harbor was attacked. Is One of only a few survivors left he was. He was removed from the main area of attack. He was getting his ammunition. Inspected in officer ran into the tent. And he said grab your guns. We're at war. And he said by the time everything was got everything was pulled out and gun ready for the attack to to fight against the Japanese planes. The first wave was gone and around. He he told me that he didn't have a big part in actually fighting against the Japanese. But it's it's always something that has stayed with him and he still villas memories of being there and a fighting the Japanese in the Pacific he drove trucks around. That was his job he i. I'm not sure if he was ever actually in like battles where he shot people but he he served in the war for four years and I really think think that's something that I can look back on and that's a tidy history right there in my own family. You know one of the few people that's actually survivor. Pearl Harbor is my great Grandpa by bombs. GRANDPA and he's he's just a great guy he's He's still plays his harmonica nursing homes. You know he's almost a century old but I I just I love people who have continued to keep the legacy alive by teaching people about history by carrying about our country and knowing knowing that patriotism and a love of country especially when you're serving in the military is is so important and he did have that and he loves America and Pearl Pearl Harbor. I think is something that has always stayed with him. He's usually pretty quiet when I talk about his military service or when I want to ask him about that but Pearl Harbor is something. He opened opened up to me more. I think because it's something that I said He. He wasn't like in the main part of the attack but he was definitely impacted by it. Yet will the military is a giant into organization and the Mount of people that are actually on the frontlines. Fighting is usually very very small much smaller than what people think. But in order to get those troops on the front lines to actually be able to fight there is a massive amount of logistics. What does the logistics means? It means that people need food. The people need fuel. The people need ammunition for their weapons. They need medical supplies. There's all these things that the soldiers that are on the front lines need and so your great-grandfather you said. Greg Great-grandfather for data admit is his name. And he played the role that he played for in serving. His country was to deliver those logistics in the front lines and even though he might not feel or you might think oh he. He wasn't fighting on the front lines. Trust me as a front as a guy that was on the front lines. If you don't have those back back logistics behind you to support you. You're not going to be able to make anything anything happened. So that's why whenever somebody tells me that they served no matter what capacity they served in the military. I always thank them for their service because they were doing what their country needed him into. New -solutely yeah. So you transitioned at some point from reading about history into writing about history. How old were you you when you wrote your first book I started writing it when I was twelve and I had been struggling for a little while to kind of wonder you know? What should I do what? What should my thing be? I started by making a board game called politics power and it was a little makeshift game. Made the book. The board game politic power. I started that I think when I was eleven. That's interesting and I started putting it together just so you know when I was eleven my friends and I were throwing mud at each. Yeah I think you're you're already progressed a little bit further than me. Okay so you make the board game politics power. Yes so I mean it just had it was Kinda like monopoly. It had a board exactly like a go position. And you know you sent to jail you commit a an illegal act in in politics but it had all these pieces and I. I've got everything but of course then it comes down to actually okay. But how do you finish and actually make it a board game so struggling to not to do that and I came down to the basement one day to my dad's workbench and we started talking and he said you know Sama. What do you really love? And I said well history debt and he said well. Why don't she writes history book for Kids Your Age and other time? I think it was eleven when that happened. And I was intrigued by the idea. And we know this man who's written over over a hundred bucks and he gave me a piece of advice. He said well actually told my dad. He said never do a project if somebody else has already done and done it very well focus on. You're just wasting your time so my dad told me okay. I'm glad for you. You should do this but be sure there isn't anything already out there like it so I did my research. I looked around around and couldn't find anything in the format or for the audience targeting about US history. And I knew that's what I wanted to do. And I finished D- I worked on it for several months. Finishing the sections and I can remember one time we run vacation in the Adirondack Mountains in New York. I remember. That's where I wrote the Cuban missile crisis. This is on the way. Remember that but certain things stay in my memory from all different points of writing the books Yeah that's how. US History Bites game to be now how you kind of breezed over the fact that in a few months you finish the book now as you know I've written a bunch of books as well and it's not easy to write a book and I always tell people people the books don't write themselves you actually have to get. You actually have to do the work. What was there any particular thing that you did to to ensure that you got your project done? Well I can remember with. I don't specifically remember with us. History Bites I remember that my goal was because at the time. I didn't think I was going to be writing any other one so my goal was just okay. I just want to read this book so I didn't have a specific time. I think no of course the research process is a completely different process and takes by itself. I think I left myself six months to actually write the thirty sections and I I can remember clear with my last books though With my most recent books I would. I would figure out what day of what month I needed to be done by and I'd figure figure out. How many sections I would need to do in order to achieve that goal and how I would need to break it up and I'd get it done and it really just came to a matter of each day I'd go okay whether I have a headache or not whether I feel like it or not? I have to get this section done today. I have to get this part of research done. I have to read about Gandhi today. And that's what I need to do and kind of like you talk about your books. I went to bed feeling great and I woke up the next morning feeling ready to go onto whatever was next one of the things things that I talk about when it comes to my writing process is I write a thousand words a day when I when I'm writing a book. I read a thousand words every a single day. It takes me about forty five minutes to an hour to get that done and what it does is a couple big benefits to it. We'll number one. You're slowly chipping away at this big giant project. And if you try if you woke up today and you said I'm going to write a hundred thousand words today. That would be very intimidating. And I don't recommend doing that. And if you wake up and you say look I'm GonNa find forty five minutes today. I'm GonNa find an hour and I'm going to do what I'm supposed to do. Which is hammer out these thousand words? What's good about it? That's that's good. You Get don little bits at a time. Which is it's easier you ever heard that expression about eating an elephant? How do you eat an elephant? One limited time. What one bite at a time right one bite at a time? That's all you can do. You can't eat that you can't stop that whole elephant in your mouth. Not that I advise Edna elephants but if you were to have to eat an element elephant you'd want to do a little bit at a time so the thing is that you're taking little bites of your project the other thing that's good about writing every day in my opinion is if I skip three days Of writing when I open back when I opened a computer backup to start writing again. I forgot what the last thing I wrote was. Now I have to go back and spend twenty minutes or thirty minutes or maybe even forty five minutes to an hour reading what I wrote to get myself back up to where I can start writing again. I have to redeploy my brain and that redeployment time takes time. So that's why I always recommend you. You take that and you you do every single day and what's good the reason I'm spending a little bit of time talking about this is that this applies to really anything really anything that you you WanNa get good at. Whether it's you WanNa get good. I play guitar. I know you play piano. You don't want to try and save up for a month worth of practice at piano and say oh well going to do is just one weekend. I'm going to practice eighty nine hours. You know. I don't even know if that's mathematically possible but you don't WanNa do that you will. It's much much better and and it's better for your skill to practice that instrument every single day. If it's a sport you want to get good at. If you want to get good at dribbling a basketball don't just say okay. Well one week before basketball. Ask Ball season. I'm just going to dribble a basketball a lot for for eighteen hours a day. That's not
