0:00.0	Welcome to Bombshell. I'm Warren, the Youngshelman, and I am solo, except not really this week, because Aaron and Rada are both on road trips, crisscrossing the country from California to probably somewhere in Utah by now.
0:23.8	And I think Erin may actually be on her way back to D.C. at this point in time.
0:27.4	But they couldn't join us.
0:28.4	So I decided to have a bombshell takeover this week with a whole bunch of different guests.
0:34.9	We have, I'll just mention their names briefly, and then we'll

1:33.7	whether it be a literal generational shift or a big kind of change in perspective in viewpoints on
1:39.3	a matter of security policy that the United States has been confronting for a while. But before we
1:43.4	get started on that, I will say that I am drinking a been confronting for a while. But before we get started on that,
1:44.4	I will say that I am drinking, as usual, a Casale Garcia vino Verde, because it's like
