“The Tom Cotton interview is a perfect example of why it’s though to have dialogue across ideologies. Jerry asked him a tough question about why some in his own party seem to be very much anti US power projection while he is laying the blame of all US military deficiencies at the feet of democrats and he literally went nowhere near answering the question. Also, why have we all forgotten about sequestration so quickly? Why not provide more than ideological assumptions to support your arguments? The problem with all political opinion programs are the same on both left and right, too much demonization of the other side and not enough analysis. We can disagree on the approach to governance but some honesty in the assessment of outcomes is necessary. I’m fairly certain that if politicians on the left and the right were so on point with there assessment of the other side, the United States would’ve failed a long time ago. Someone in government is doing a decent job. When it comes to keeping us safe, we’ve only been attacked twice and only once on the mainland, and never buy an invading army; pretty friggin solid record. I guess that’s why it’s the opinion section and not the analysis section. It’s a shame, because Jerry has the potential to be a really great interviewer, but as of now, this one is not for me.”
