16:53Now PlayingIn this segment Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the U.S. military’s severely depleted stocks of long-range precision missiles and air-defense interceptors after supplying allies and conducting operations in Ukraine, Yemen, and Iran. They highlights concerns about dependence on China for processing rare-earth minerals and tungsten needed to manufacture replacement weapons, while questioning whether current production can replenish depleted inventories quickly enough.
The discussion also criticizes the Pentagon's spending, contracting with major defense companies, and the proposed increase in military funding, framing prolonged wars as financially beneficial to the military-industrial complex. The hosts ultimately argue that these shortages expose weaknesses in U.S. military readiness and challenge the idea that the country can sustain multiple major conflicts simultaneously.
