0:00.0	Today, the Matt Wall Show, the United States attacks Iran. Was this a smart move? Will it benefit American citizens or doom us to another Iraq-style quagmire or something else? And why did we launch this attack? Was it necessary? We will break everything down today as fairly and objectively as we can on the Matt Wall Show. I'm The
0:23.6	The We are going to discuss today, of course, the military operation in Iran.
0:46.0	It will not surprise any of my viewers and listeners to learn that I am quite skeptical
0:52.1	of this operation, as I am usually skeptical of military interventions
0:55.7	in far-off countries on the other side of the globe. That's my position, and I'm not going to
1:00.6	abandon it now, even as certain segments of the base become inflamed with war fever and demand that
1:07.4	the rest of us fall in line. I'm not going to do that. I'm also an American patriot.
1:12.6	I love my country. I wanted to succeed, which means that I'm not rooting for this to be a failure,
1:18.6	obviously, nor am I weeping over the poor Iranian regime and its leaders who are now scattered

1:32.2	especially X over the weekend, but there is actually a lane for people in this camp, in the
1:37.7	camp that I'm in. There is a lane for people who are skeptical of military intervention and regime
1:43.0	change wars, especially ones in the Middle East,
1:46.0	but also aren't siding with the Iranian regime and actively rooting for America to fail.
1:50.0	Not only does that lane exist in real life, but it's where I would estimate a great majority of normal Americans live.
1:57.0	Now with that in mind, I want to discuss this issue as fairly and objectively as I can.
2:03.4	One thing we know for sure is that it is never more difficult to recognize the limits of what you
2:08.6	know and to ask honest and good faith questions about what you don't know than it is during a
2:13.9	once-in-a-generation war in which millions of lives, including American lives,
2:18.2	can be potentially changed irreparably.
2:22.3	It's not natural for a political commentator or a politician to admit this, but it's true.
