Summary

Sen. Mike Lee joins to clarify why yesterday’s congressional briefing on Iran was “the worst” he’s ever seen and why he believes Trump agrees. Meanwhile, is Prince Harry's and Meghan Markle’s step away from royal duties the beginning of the monarchy’s end? And even with all the conflict, President Trump’s approval rating might suggest a landslide in 2020. Political scientist Ian Bremmer provides a rare dose of free thinking on Congress, World War III rumors, and China. And author Mark David Hall addresses the big question in his new book, “Did America Have a Christian Founding?” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Hey, welcome to the Glendek program. It is the podcast today. We got a lot. We have very controversial Mike Lee on.

0:07.0

He's gone really not controversial, but he is today. He was very upset about the briefing that he got in Congress.

0:15.0

We talked to him about that. And also, where does he stand on President Trump?

0:21.0

It's not what you're going to hear from the rest of the media. There's...

0:26.0

This is an interview worth listening to all the way through. Also Ian Bremmer is with us the risks of 2020.

0:34.0

What are the things that he sees over the horizon this year? And was America a Christian founding?

You're listening to the best of the Glendek program.

1:10.0

We have Senator Mike Lee on the phone with us now who is either loved or hated by so many. And I think misunderstood in this particular case of Senator. Welcome to the program.

1:25.0

Thanks so much, Glenn. Good to see you with you as always.

1:28.0

So Mike, you are not saying that the president shouldn't have gotten Soleimani or that he hasn't handled this right.

1:38.0

That's correct. Right? You're for that.

1:41.0

I have not spoken out against the attack on Soleimani. What I am concerned about is where we go from here.

1:49.0

I want to make sure that any subsequent military action against Iran is carried out only through the Constitutional formula, which is through a declaration of war or an authorization for the use of military force.

2:02.0

I agree with that. And I respect him for that. Unfortunately, some of those around him seem to be coming from a slightly different place. And that worries me.

2:29.0

I was shocked because I felt exactly the same way about President Trump. I was really proud of the way he has restrained himself.

2:38.0

He didn't go in and lob missiles after they took down our drone. You know, they've captured our sailors, et cetera, et cetera.

2:47.0

And he really didn't do any of the things that I think other presidents would have done. And yet he didn't look weak.

2:56.0

And he just drew the line of you kill our people. And that's a different story. He drops the bomb. This all goes fairly well as of today goes fairly well.

3:10.0

And I talked to Mike to hear on television all of the people from the right that we're saying we got a bomb there. Oil fields. We've got to go after them. No, no, no. No. We don't want that.
