Hey, welcome back to the Homefront Live.

My name is Reed Gail and I'm your host today.

It's been a while since I did one of these. And if I was going to get back in the saddle, there's nobody I'd rather do with the one and only Denver Wrigelman. Denver, welcome. Hey, doing this morning, buddy. I'm doing fine. All right. So we have a lot to talk about and a lot of things that you are more than intimately familiar with, probably more than you'd like to be. So let's start with the news of the world and the news of the week. So we are currently in a missile shooting war with the Islamic Republic of Iran. We have decapitated its government that has not stopped them from

retaliating. So give us a sense, one, of what you think generally, and two, where is it going to go

from here? You know, Reid, you know, last night I had a complex discussion about this because,

you know, what a lot of people don't know about me, Reed, is in 2006, 2007 around the counter IED operations integration center. So I was going after

roadside bomb makers in Iraq and allowed that resupply came from Soleimani and the Koods force

at that point. And between 2005 and 2008, they were deploying something called EFPs

exclusively formed penetrators. So there's no love lost for me with the Iranian leadership,

right, a difference between the Iranian people. So when Soleimani was killed in 2020 and now

Khomeini, I will tell you this right now. I have no issues with that. The problem I have is with the incompetence of

this administration and why they're actually executing this war at this time. And there is some

nuance to that. So my baseline thought is on the past performance of this administration, and they're

already saying that Iran tried to meddle in elections, I think we have this weird thing where there's a lot of people

who aren't worried at all or aren't somehow devastated that we executed, you know, Kameney or we

went after the leadership that killed so many American soldiers and had state-sponsored terrorism

and supported Shia militia groups in Iraq. I get all that, right? Even if you're talking about

going on the Lebanon, you know, we can talk about all that.

I think the issue that I have with this war is the fact that it was done without congressional

approval, number one, number two, we don't really know why we executed this work.

We already obliterated their nuclear arsenal, but they're already creating excuses to

meddle in our elections, which they tried to do in 2020 and
