New Jersey. I'll let him tell exactly what his role was,

although I suppose the title of the episode probably gives it away, but anyway, that's the way I'm going to do it.

He's a graduate of West Point. He's been a U.S. Army captain, and he's gotten himself into a bit of

controversy recently because of his remarks on the strike on Syria by Donald Trump. So we're going to talk to him

today about what's going on here. Mike, welcome to the show. Great to be with you, Tom.

I go long stretches on this podcast talking about things that have absolutely nothing whatsoever to do

with the news. I mean, whatever it is, maybe we're talking about if Martians

And I'm not always plugged into the news, because the news half the time is depressing,

and I don't want every single episode to be depressing. But I'm so overwhelmingly crushed

about what's going on and what could potentially go on in Syria that I've got to talk about it. I almost want to devote a whole week to it.

and Governor Christie was in the race for president and most of the New Jersey Republicans

were on board right from the get-go.
