| 0:02.6 | Guaranteed human. |
| 0:14.7 | Hey there, folks. |
| 0:15.9 | It is Wednesday, March 4th, and we can do this all day long. |
| 0:21.6 | So says Secretary of Defense, Secretary of War, Pete Hexif. |
| 0:26.6 | With that, welcome to this episode of Amy and T.J. Rose, people kind of chuckled and giggled |
| 0:30.6 | and said, that's ridiculous. Change it to Secretary of War. Well, I guess it's apt right now. |
| 0:34.6 | And it's a pretty tough talk from the secretary who was just a short |
| 0:38.5 | time ago given another update on the war with Iran. That's right. Among the many headlines |

| 1:31.3 | I remember those two things. You know, but the one that the mission accomplished, they know that was a mistake with the big banner that early on. |
| 1:38.2 | But he got hell for saying, bring it on, essentially challenging a fight from Al Qaeda, I think it was at the time. But it was not received well because you're like, come on, let's fight. But there are American lives at risk. Don't, you're not a badass. You shouldn't talk like that. There are lives at risk. We don't want to go to war.
