228 - Bomb, de Bomb, Bomb, Boooomb!

from Lewis Black's Rantcast · host Lewis Black

It’s time to celebrate our nation’s independence. But are we in a renaissance of military spectacular-ness? The Boss seems to think so. Because our recent non-congress approved exercise in Iran would have you to believe that all the Middle East’s issues were solved in just a day or two. It’s worth of giving the Boss a Nobel Peace Prize, right? National intelligence saying otherwise have something different to say. But Lewis is passing the holiday in upstate New York at the Chautauqua Institute where he has curated a week of comedy discussions, a couple of readings of his play The Deal, A live Rant is Due and a performance by Roy Wood Jr. This week we deliver only one rant because it’s worth highlighting, because as we celebrate our country, we want to hear from our military.
