Speaker 1 (00:00):
So there's a bit of a battle over this creation
of the Space National Guard now that Space Force is
up and running. I agree with your leadership if you
want this very badly, and I agree the time has
come to create a Space National Guard as a primary
combat reserve of the US Space Force. That was from
President Trump to the National Guard Association during the annual
conference in Detroit. But the NNGAUS has pushed back against that,
(00:24):
at least pushed back against the idea of folding Air
National Guard personnel into space focused units. Let's find out
what it all means. Sewn Timmans joining US now retired
Army Captain Jack Lawyer, Houston attorney Shawn good.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Morning, Good morning, Thank you for having me on this morning.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
It's good to have you. So tell us about this
little conflict. President Trump wants a Space Guard National Guard,
and apparently some want to fold the Air National Guards
into that space force. Others do not. Can you explain
it well?
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Some states have already experimented with implementing a Space National
Guard Colorado, New York, Florida, Arkansas. I've used elements of
their Air National Guard to assist with space operations already. However,
the program designed by President Trump would be nationalizedes to
offaty states. As I mentioned, only a couple of states
(01:17):
currently have Space Force Guard units or proposed plans implement
such in place. President Trump wantson nationalized staff to make
it off with the states as part of the National
Guard Bureau reserve component of the armed forces. It's politically
delicate because a lot of states have their own syctoms
and the governor is technically the commander in chief of
(01:38):
the guard units. However, the president in a national emergency
can nationalize the guard and make that part of the
federal force and deploy Guard assets around the world. That's
necessary to augment the traditional armed forces. So I think
a lot of the conflicts you're seeing is is primarily political.
People are gaming out who's going to be in charge
of what, who's going to have response Billy or who,
(02:00):
and who's going to get the proceeds running additional funding
Congress appropriates.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Okay, space Force specializes in cyber warfare. It's not like
they're talking about being up there in space and shooting
at people. Cyber warfare, and if you have a national
Guard cyber the ability for cyber and to have some
muscle behind. It would help us with our illegal alien invasion.
(02:24):
The governors already called out the National Guard to assist
with our border. If you had the cyber warriors helping
you as well and aiding that that plan, I mean,
I can't imagine that it wouldn't be anything but good,
at least for the state of Texas.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Absolutely, a lot of these cartels use statistic technology to
implement their invasion plan to smuggle people across the border.
And it's interesting, a lot of these individuals who are
claiming asylum are not really impoverised, are showing up an
iPhones and then iPads and technology that showed they purchased
a advanced equipment. They're not necessarily the poorest people. Often
(03:03):
they're generally individuals who are paid so if they get
funds to cartels to get smuggled unlawfully into the country,
so disrupting all that this, using the technology would assist
in arresting individuals trying to unlawfully into the country. That's
that's certainly true.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
And Sean one other story here, this is a little
bit off the topic of the Space Force, but President
Trump at at the same speech talked about NATO and
the expansion of NATO's spending. He wants all of our
NATO allies to commit three percent of their GDP to NATO.
And obviously he has long been on the record as
saying we cannot continue to fund NATO on our own.
(03:41):
The left is use that to say he doesn't support NATO,
doesn't support Ukraine, and so on and so forth. But
he is simply saying they have to pay more. Will
they respond to that?
Speaker 2 (03:51):
I believe they'll have no choice. I mean they see
the results. If they don't, is we could simply remove
our assets from Europe directed to Asia, where the conflict
of China is much more prevalent and much more concerning
to US national security. Germany has one of the most
advanced economies in the world, and we have to contribute
us and two percent of the ep national defense. Same
(04:11):
with Italy, same with France, same with most of the
advanced economies over in Europe. They absolutely should contribute more
of their budget. It's unfair to the American tax payer
for US to subsidize their free healthcare and their social
welfare state whe they're not paying their own national defense.
I mean, Denmark, other DATO nations absolutely should contribute more. Finland,
(04:33):
A few other countries have contributed enough, but most of
them are not contributing three percent. So the countries aren't
contributing should pay up. I mean, it's just completely written
off American taxpayers to allow them that you neue to
get away with it.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Yeah, that's well said that one would think if there
are any unity issues, you know, for the left and
the right in the United States, this would be one
that the United States cannot fund every other nation's defense.
We have to ask them to contribute an equal amount
and or at least a minimum amount of three percent.
Like that is not outrageous and one would think that
that would bring everybody together. But then again, this is
twenty twenty four. Shawn Timmins, retired Army captain and Jack Lawyer,
(05:07):
Houston Lawyer. Thank you Sean for the analysis. We appreciate it.
