Ex-Nuclear Football Carrier Reveals What Presidents REALLY KNOW About the Nuke Codes

Retired Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Buzz Patterson, who served as the senior military aide to President Clinton and was responsible for the nuclear football, joins Jimmy to debunk reports that Trump tried to "use the nuclear codes" and was stopped by General Dan Caine, explaining that the president carries the codes 24/7 and the chain of command goes directly from the president to the military aide to the NMCC—the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs is not involved. Patterson states that Iran has been the number one state sponsor of terror since 1979, that something had to be done eventually, and that removing the regime could lead to a democratic Iran, citing successful post-WWII reconstructions of Germany, Japan, and South Korea as examples. He argues that the Gulf States have become US allies after Iran attacked their oil fields, that Iran's military capability has been depleted, and that targeting Iran's missile delivery systems and infrastructure is justified under the rules of war. Patterson acknowledges Trump did not campaign on this war and admits he wouldn't have supported it if he had, but believes Trump lacked proper intelligence until taking office.
