0:00.0	Hello from Austin and welcome to episode 216 of the National Security Law podcast.
0:14.0	We're brought to you by the Strauss Center at the University of Texas. It's Monday, March 8th, 2022. I'm Bobby Chesney. I'm Steve Loddick. I got nothing.
0:25.7	You got nothing. Well, we got a lot to talk about. I'm like the baseball season. I got nothing.
0:30.9	No opening day for Steve. We have obviously got a lot of weighty things to discuss. We have Ukraine topics, a number of them.
0:40.3	We've talked about that a little bit before.
0:42.3	Steve, I don't think we're going to go back to the topic of the crime of aggression that's going on.

1:32.6	rulings involving the Navy and the idea of religious exemptions and whether courts can
1:40.8	intervene in a way that overrides the judgment of the military on
1:46.5	vaccine requirements. And, uh, we've even got a, uh, House Foreign Affairs Committee
1:51.4	hearing on the 2001 AMF. So there's a lot of old school topics mixed in with some very
1:56.9	decidedly 2022 type topics. Do I miss anything, Steve?
2:03.7	Probably, but I miss a lot of things these days.
2:09.9	Well, we might be missing frivolity since, sadly, we were so kind of depressed by the state of the world as we talked about what frivolity topics we could cover.
2:13.3	We were kind of coming up short.
