Summary

In this episode, Professors Vladeck and Chesney focus on two major developments: the Trump Administration’s sudden decision to suspend entry into the United States for persons hailing from seven countries, and a rare boots-on-the-ground raid conducted by U.S. Special Operations Forces against an AQAP compound in Yemen.

0:00.0	Hello from Austin and welcome to episode number two of the National Security Law podcast, brought to you by the Strauss Center at the University of Texas.
0:09.5	I'm Bobby Chesney.
0:10.6	And I'm Steve Lottick and Bobby, we still don't have music.
0:13.4	Oh my God, we don't have music.

0:48.6	January 31st.
0:49.9	But we thought it would be useful to, you know, maybe learn from our disagreements.
0:54.0	We do learn from each other. We often disagree, but very often we find our disagreements are much narrower than we expected.
1:01.4	And we think there's some virtue in sort of sharing some of that discussion with you guys.
1:05.1	So Steve, what is on tap for today? What are we going to talk about?
1:08.3	Well, first we're going to mock ourselves for not having any music.
1:10.6	Okay. Check. Then we're not going to talk about Steve Bannon being on the
