Chris, Zack, and Melanie sat down to talk about the new National Defense Industrial Strategy. Is this document really a strategy?

Chris has a grievance for those who couldn’t believe Donald Trump’s recent NATO comments (where have they been for the last eight years?), Zack thanks Rep. Mike Gallagher for his service, and Melanie is unhappy with the response to legislators trying to come to an agreement on the difficult issue of immigration reform.
