Tim Miller: 我认为特朗普不适合在危机时期领导美国。他的自我和不称职的顾问可能会导致局势升级。此外,他对伊朗采取行动的威胁并不紧迫,而且现状对我们来说更稳定。 尽管支持以色列,但我认为美国不应该带头轰炸伊朗。短期内,这使得以色列更安全,但同时也使美国更不安全,因为美国的基地现在面临更大的风险。 此外,特朗普政府对跨性别军人的禁令是不符合美国价值观的,对跨性别者的攻击是令人厌恶的。 在移民问题上,特朗普政府的行为是疯狂的、专制的和法西斯式的,对无辜平民的暴力袭击是不可接受的。 最后,民主党全国委员会在应对特朗普的虚假信息方面做得非常糟糕,这令人担忧。 Bill Kristol: 我认为特朗普适合在危机时期领导美国。现在轰炸伊朗核设施的成本和风险远低于三四年前,而且我们仍然保留着巨大的威慑力。 此外,如果我们不帮助以色列,我们就得不到任何反以色列政权的好处。对其他独裁者发出一个信息,即武力仍然在我们的工具箱中,我们仍然是一个愿意在必要时使用武力的超级大国。 虽然承认特朗普的自我和不称职的顾问是一个合理的担忧,但我认为这次行动可能会使未来 6 到 18 个月内更有可能实现相对稳定。 至于移民问题,我并不完全反对驱逐那些犯了罪的无证人员,但对像 IHOP 园丁这样的无辜平民采取暴力行为是不可接受的。 最后,虽然民主党全国委员会在某些方面做得不好,但我认为特朗普的虚假信息对美国人民来说是一个更大的威胁。

Shownotes Transcript

Tim and Bill may have different takes on the wisdom of the U.S. bombing of Iran's nuclear sites—and on potential regime change—but they see eye-to-eye on the risks of Trump's ego and his incapable advisers in a dangerous situation. And where is the missing enriched uranium? Meanwhile, Stephen Miller's masked goons violently assaulted an immigrant landscaper and father of three Marines in Southern California. Plus, the trans military ban is un-American, local anti-trans laws are trampling all over parents' rights, and why didn't the moderate Dem establishment circle the wagons around a candidate who could've knocked Cuomo out of contention?
