Thanks, Susan, for bringing on Bobby Jones. He's providing the most cogent and strategic analysis that I've found on what Trump has broken and the minefield in which Trump has now placed our country in the middle. I hope your interview results in a flood of Big Media appearances for Bobby. The American public needs to hear his voice.

I'm becoming a huge Bobby Jones stan! I love the way he explains complex military problems in language we civilians can understand. His point about the media's lack of military understanding - and I'll add their deliberate and inexcusable naiveté about Trump and his administration - is spot on.

Cases in point: Remember back in 2018 when Trump declared that he'd utterly defeated the ISIS caliphate? Did that turn out to be true? No. Remember later that same year when Trump declared that North Korea was no longer a nuclear threat? Was that true? HELL no! So taking his word on the 'obliteration' of Iran's nuclear sites and capability SHOULD HAVE been taken with a grain of salt. Was it? NO!

Under project 2025 project tracker there is an implementation to require All schools that receive federal funding to make the students take a military entrance exam. I think the regime is going to force people to enlist. That’s how they’ll get their army

Thank you Bobby Jones for your insight into this Iran situation. You are uniquely qualified to talk about it. You’re quickly becoming one of my favorite podcasts on Lincoln Square. Keep up the good work!

Absolutely we are at risk! Cmon. We all need to get more than a thread of a clue about what has just happened and what could happen next

Wow! Thanks to Bobby for his crisp, intelligent and well- informed analysis. This situation is dire. Indeed the key question he posed is urgent: what now?!

Bobby has been a great addition to Lincoln Project. At this moment, it appears prescient on their part.

Two commentators I used to greatly respect spoke in favor of the bombing, but neither of them mentions any of the extraneous garbage it unearths. One just accepts, without proof, that Iran was near nuclear capability, the other says they deserve it for making drones that Russia used against Ukraine. It's disappointing to hear such shallow analyses. Bebe has been making the same case since 2012, and he outfoxed Trump at every turn.

Thank you to Bobby Jones for helping me understand the importance of the situatio we find ourselves in. Donald Trump is in way over his head. He has no filter when it comes to his ability to not take everything into consideration before he decides to act without a plan. Let Bobby’s knowledge be a lesson the next time you vote. Especially when it may result in a war. Look at the character of a person before you vote. Look at whether the person has been in a conflict where we may need someone with Bobby’s expertise to lead us. Bobby you are a national treasure.
