mit romney made the claim that simply because we have fewer total ships are
maybe than we did back in nineteen sixteen
clearly its weaker made a strong run the administration will increase the total
number of ships
regardless of what the media actually wants or needs
uh... but thankfully the monkey cage specifically to met motorcades this is
brian christie rand marked suva
did a dataset they'd actually previously dot this year i don't know why they
decide to do that but it charts total distribution of naval power
uh... going back to eighteen seventy across the world and so they figured out
uh... we what we have to go better really fast
uh... so you can see a very of nineteen sixteen marked out thankfully
we had about eleven percent of naval power and exactly and that's exactly
levin person i don't know how they came in at eleven percent
in two thousand seven months recent year that they had it for
uh... we fifty percent
world
naval power
well you can see how we need more ships alexei doesn't that's two thousand
needs to know what's happening you have been a bit more
uh... it's uh... well the couple in a playful boats yet
notebook in the reason they did that is netcom is missing this for a long time
needs to get this ridiculous talking point about all the it using to gain
and it's a bit and i've been saying advertisers wanted that saddam was fired
by the river
now it turns out here's an interesting twist of the story
or those obviously in ridiculously wrong as a concept given how much of the
percentage of naval power we have in the world at this point
there are problems real reasons to say
uh... at number one near dark huge shipbuilding
factories in their seven of the bill chichester but
fifty dockside friday
starts i'm sure we are together i thought that
in virginia and virginia's an important swing state in in fact he's running adds
a stupid ninety sixteen navy at
even though he has asked him into a mile bomb in the debate on that
they look like a full he still running that ad in virginia possesses wincing
to the people who were conscious of virginia head
story i'll build more needless ships and you'll continue to have your job
so that's part of that
rational reason for saying it and then of course there is the crooked reason
for saying yes and so uh... it turns out that one of his top political advisers
is a former secretary of the baby that's fine but nothing wrong with that under
uh... ron reagan
and happens to make
a lot of money
in the ship building this
well while coincidence
dust-up call weekend and colleagues need i couldn't see that coming
and when it when asked about it with his name is lee midnight
uh... yes as sullivan jolly min says i remember telling yes
hop except music yet whatever possessed about that
when one one project a little bit of a continuing dot
perfect that he thought he lost money on on another project this out of the whole
scheme of having a sorry seven and they are easy to get out of the birthday
buildings complicated he wound up up at least a hundred million dollars uh... on
all that and you know he's got connections that industry
he would make more money if they build more ships
and i'm sure he's not the only one intro lot of mit romney's donors also make
money
offer shipbuilding defense contractors of cetera and that's what we have a
gigantic military that we do
not because we need fifty percent of the naval power of the world
it's because
those guys grease the politicians on the politicians paperback by building things
we don't need it's a good thing that we do though because what if every other
country in the world decided to oppose us
in international waters but we can just barely maxed them but the flip side to
that is admit vice-president their is some chance we will have a war with the
rest of the above
