What final blow? 22 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,720 Speaker 2: I mean, we've come to the place where we keep 23 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 2: hearing this is the last draw, This is the last moment. 24 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:47,120 Speaker 3: Oh no, wait, I'm gonna give you a chance to 25 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 3: talk to us. 26 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 2: Is this Trump in a level of magnanimous like I 27 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 2: don't want to have to do this, or is this 28 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 2: Trump just playing a game and knowing that it's all 29 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 2: going to have to come to quite literally ending the IRGC. 30 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 4: I think it's the latter, and I think that the 31 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 4: delay that you've seen in the ultimatum regarding the Strait 32 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:09,240 Speaker 4: of Hormuz has been to allow him to assemble enough 33 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 4: assets to do this final this final blow plan. This 34 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,840 Speaker 4: is from Axios's Barackravid, who is reporting on this at 35 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,080 Speaker 4: about the same time that they were doing the televised 36 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:23,679 Speaker 4: cabinet meeting today the live cabinet meeting, and he's reporting 37 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,240 Speaker 4: that there's probably going to be boots on the ground. 38 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 4: It will probably not be in the mainland, though it 39 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 4: will be on either carg Island or other islands that 40 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 4: are actually within the Strait of Hormuz are very close 41 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 4: to it that Iran uses to control the traffic that 42 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,919 Speaker 4: goes through the strait. Some of these are disputed islands 43 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 4: by the way UAE claims sovereignty over a couple a 44 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,079 Speaker 4: couple of these islands but Iran still controls them at this. 45 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,160 Speaker 3: Point, and the question is. 46 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,800 Speaker 4: Which island will we actually land on, will we actually 47 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 4: put boots on the ground, or we just simply going 48 00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:00,200 Speaker 4: to destroy all the facilities on a particular island. Going 49 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,959 Speaker 4: to see Carg Island, which is a long term strategic 50 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 4: target because that's where the Iranians export their oil, or 51 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,800 Speaker 4: are we going to focus on the street itself and 52 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 4: try to make sure that they can't impact traffic. 53 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:14,919 Speaker 2: So let's talk Carg Island, because we had talked about 54 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 2: this on the show a couple of weeks ago and 55 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,960 Speaker 2: what the moves were, and we talked about it separately, 56 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 2: and you actually wrote about our conversation. I appreciated that 57 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 2: if that they're going to send the USS Tripoli, which 58 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,240 Speaker 2: right now we're told based on Justice Search, is at 59 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 2: Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean and making its way, 60 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 2: it might have already left and be closer. Now, if 61 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 2: you're going to send twenty five hundred troops with the 62 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 2: USS Triple, if you're going to send four thousand troops 63 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 2: on these amphibious warships, it seems odd to me at 64 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 2: the time that you would be talking about sending troops 65 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 2: that would take you ten to fourteen days to get there. 66 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 2: If you want to take carg Island, it's a sealed team. 67 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 2: It's something else Boom you take carg Island. Now, Steve 68 00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 2: Yates of Heritage Foundation has been very clear that you 69 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 2: can't just take it. There might be some entrenched interest 70 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 2: there that'll be a little more difficult than we may realize. 71 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 2: What that doesn't mean, it's not insurmountable. It was the 72 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 2: idea of I'm not going to buy into it's going 73 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 2: to take you fourteen days to send troops over. 74 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 3: There, and you're not going to make a move earlier. 75 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 2: The Deception game. It didn't work out that way. That 76 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,159 Speaker 2: was my thought process at the time. But they really 77 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 2: are setting them and it really is taking this level 78 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,360 Speaker 2: of time, and no matter how you slice it, whether 79 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 2: it's carg Island or something else, it is now officially 80 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 2: a boots on the ground conversation. 81 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,239 Speaker 3: So somewhere someone has to do the math. 82 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 2: I do the math of what do you do to 83 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 2: get rid of the IRGC, because that's my take on winning. 84 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 2: They do the math of what can the American people tolerate? 85 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 2: What is the appetite for such a thing. So walk 86 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 2: me through what it is you're hearing and where you 87 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 2: are on what is the appetite for boots on the 88 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 2: ground in a foreign conflict. 89 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,719 Speaker 4: Well, I think they're trying to stretch out Iranian defenses. 90 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 4: I think Cargiland is so obvious that probably whatever defense 91 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 4: assets they have right now, the Iranians are probably focusing 92 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:10,920 Speaker 4: on defending card by opening these things up, and it's 93 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 4: not like these are mysteries. I mean, the islands are 94 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,799 Speaker 4: there and everybody knows that they're there. But by opening 95 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 4: these up as potential targets, the Iranians now have to 96 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 4: stretch whatever depends is they have across multiple potential landing points. 97 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 4: This is sort of similar to what we did with 98 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 4: the Germans in World War Two. During D Day we 99 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,479 Speaker 4: kind of fainted at the the at Klay and ended 100 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 4: up in Normandy and and froze there. Not just their 101 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,920 Speaker 4: frontline units, but also the reserve units were held in 102 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:46,280 Speaker 4: reserve for Klais because Hitler was convinced that we were 103 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:52,120 Speaker 4: coming in in Kalais. The the issue here, I think 104 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 4: is that the Raan justice simply doesn't have a whole 105 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 4: lot of defensive assets. Israel says that They killed most 106 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 4: of the naval command which was controlling these assets at 107 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:08,480 Speaker 4: a meeting overnight last night, including the the IRGC naval 108 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,600 Speaker 4: commander who was actually doing the Strait of Hormu's operation. 109 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 4: And so I think what you're seeing is this sort 110 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 4: of ramp up. Now. You talked about whether or not 111 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,719 Speaker 4: Trump was trying to get a deal or trying to 112 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 4: are just trying to stall. He's probably trying to do both, 113 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 4: you know. I think that it would be great if 114 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 4: he could just get the IRGC to quit, and so 115 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 4: he's been doing that. But most of this I think 116 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 4: has been a stall, and I would say that looking 117 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 4: at it today, I would expect them to try to 118 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 4: go after the smaller islands first. I don't know the 119 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 4: smaller but the ones that are closer to the actual 120 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,720 Speaker 4: strait because Trump has been doing sort of an escalation. 121 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 4: Trump and Israel, we should say both has been doing 122 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 4: a sort of escalation as this war has gone on. 123 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:59,160 Speaker 4: They have been taking out military targets. The IRGC has 124 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,599 Speaker 4: been aiming at, you know, everybody in the region and 125 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 4: going after commercial assets. So we started going after commercial assets, 126 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:08,160 Speaker 4: say went after more commercial assets, and I think what 127 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 4: he's doing is he's saying, every time you escalate, we're 128 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 4: going to escalate more, and we're going to escalate on 129 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:17,680 Speaker 4: your directly at your interests. And I think that this 130 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 4: is another thing. Maybe carg Island is the ultimate target here, 131 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 4: but he may hold that in reserve for yet another 132 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 4: escalation after whatever it is, it's going to come at 133 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 4: the end of the ultimatum that expires a lot. 134 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:33,280 Speaker 3: It's more night. 135 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 2: Talking to Ed marscif hotair dot com. Grab yourself a 136 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 2: quick drink. Let me ask the question as I as 137 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 2: I do.

Some of 139 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,960 Speaker 2: these people we used to work with, and then they 140 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 2: have taken on a whole new, interesting and unique persona. 141 00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,680 Speaker 2: At Marcie talking at Marcia hotair dot com. 142 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 3: There's this. 143 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 2: There's definitely a piece, a large piece of the political 144 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 2: left that wants Trump to fail. They are they are 145 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 2: engaged in a full on demoralization of American troops.

I concern myself that there are people 170 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,600 Speaker 2: who pay attention to this, specifically twenty to twenty nine 171 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 2: year old men, that younger male Demo. I concern myself 172 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:31,080 Speaker 2: that this is what they're following. If they were following 173 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 2: Nick Point to the extent that they were, and they're 174 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,720 Speaker 2: following this, this is bad stuff for the future of America. 175 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 4: It is, and I mean this is I had a 176 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:49,560 Speaker 4: conversation with Professor Gerald Steinberg earlier today about international law 177 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:54,960 Speaker 4: in American law in regards to wartime, and basically international 178 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,040 Speaker 4: law is a myth. But this is the basis of 179 00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 4: what all this is. Well, Trump is, this is tr 180 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,400 Speaker 4: illegal war, and we have to make sure that you 181 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,679 Speaker 4: don't do illegal wars. There's plenty of room to discuss 182 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:09,959 Speaker 4: the wisdom of this choice. But there's no there's this 183 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 4: isn't an illegal war. There's no such thing really as 184 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:18,680 Speaker 4: international law. There is just simply agreements between nations about 185 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 4: how they want to operate, and most of those don't 186 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 4: have the force of law because they aren't in treaties 187 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,559 Speaker 4: that have been at least in terms of the United States, 188 00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:30,000 Speaker 4: they are in treaties that have been ratified by the Senate, 189 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,959 Speaker 4: so they don't have a force of law inside the 190 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 4: United States either. They certainly don't have There's no there's 191 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,600 Speaker 4: really no legal basis for any of this, and if 192 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 4: there were, if there was such a thing as international law, 193 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 4: Iran would have been in violation of it for the 194 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 4: last several decades because it was a signatory to the 195 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:51,960 Speaker 4: Non Proliferation Treaty and pursued nuclear weapons anyway. So in 196 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,520 Speaker 4: one sense, this is law enforcement. This is a law 197 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:59,240 Speaker 4: enforcement action. It's about twenty years overdue, and it reached 198 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 4: a critical man. Yes, at this point in time, Donald 199 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 4: Trump saw Iran as a clearing person danger, which is 200 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 4: the quasi illegal standard here for initiating military action. And 201 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,880 Speaker 4: he's not the first president to put Iran in that position. Fact, 202 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:17,240 Speaker 4: every American president has talked about the threat that Iran 203 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 4: poses to America and America's interests. Donald Trump is simply 204 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,440 Speaker 4: the first president who's actually done something about it. 205 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:29,920 Speaker 2: The other people who seem to want to see a 206 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:33,160 Speaker 2: loss here is because they hate I argue that the 207 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 2: political left hates Trump more than they love their country. 208 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:40,200 Speaker 3: I don't know where I'm off face in that argument. 209 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:43,959 Speaker 2: Trump losing means their power, Trump losing means their opportunity, 210 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:44,880 Speaker 2: and we see. 211 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,079 Speaker 3: It in a multitude of ways. 212 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:52,640 Speaker 2: But the left's response to this is that let's bring 213 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:56,240 Speaker 2: back no Kings, which was successful for them when they 214 00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:59,080 Speaker 2: did it the first time, and now their plan is 215 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 2: to bring back No Kings. They're gonna have the big 216 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:06,120 Speaker 2: rally in Saint Paul, a place where you used to live, 217 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:11,000 Speaker 2: and they're going to bring out Bruce Springsteen, Joan Biaz. 218 00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:12,320 Speaker 3: And Jane Fonda. 219 00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:16,720 Speaker 2: This is the Octinigerians or the Octagerians fight back. 220 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 3: This is uh. 221 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:22,959 Speaker 2: You know, everybody has to bring not only their own 222 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:24,559 Speaker 2: lawn chair, but their own oxygen. 223 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 3: This is. 224 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 5: These are the people who mocked us because Kid Rock 225 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:35,559 Speaker 5: did a halftime show and you're bringing out Joan Biaz 226 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:38,840 Speaker 5: because Peter, Paul and Mary were already too busy playing 227 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:40,400 Speaker 5: the local home. 228 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:41,680 Speaker 4: Already too dead. 229 00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 3: Actually think only one of them is still around. I 230 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:46,480 Speaker 3: didn't know which one, so. 231 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:48,480 Speaker 4: I just I don't know which one of you is either. 232 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,920 Speaker 4: Only one of them's still extant at the moment. And 233 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 4: by the way, what are the ticket prices for Bruce 234 00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:59,160 Speaker 4: Springsteen's concerts, Because of late, it's been in the high 235 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:03,600 Speaker 4: three digit category amid the high three digit category to 236 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 4: get tickets to his you know, ordinary average guy concert populous. 237 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 4: He's very much populist, except when it comes to his 238 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:16,120 Speaker 4: ticket prices, and this has been actually an ongoing issue 239 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:19,959 Speaker 4: with Springsteen's concerts. Anyway, only the rich, only people who 240 00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 4: are wealthy can actually afford to attend these things so 241 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:26,760 Speaker 4: they can feel, they can feel like they've put on 242 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 4: their dongarees and you know, have a working man experience. 243 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,760 Speaker 4: I mean, it's the whole thing is you know, it's 244 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 4: a it's a fougasy. It's it's this is it's a 245 00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,440 Speaker 4: it's a pretense. It's a conceit. I think conceit is 246 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,520 Speaker 4: actually the best word for this. It's a conceit. And 247 00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 4: the idea that you're going to drag Jane Fonda last 248 00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,600 Speaker 4: scene complaining that she didn't get a chance to do 249 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:53,119 Speaker 4: the Robert Redford, uh you know memorial at the Oscars 250 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:56,320 Speaker 4: because she did four films with him and Barbara Streisan 251 00:13:56,400 --> 00:14:02,360 Speaker 4: only did one. These people are have become caricatures of themselves. 252 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,680 Speaker 4: I guess I think they're gonna have Bernie Sanders there. 253 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 2: Right, Oh yeah, I mean, if you're gonna have Thegenarians, 254 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:11,640 Speaker 2: you gotta have you gotta have Bernie Sanders. 255 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,640 Speaker 4: He's the second youngest of the people that are appearing 256 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:18,040 Speaker 4: in these In these events, the. 257 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,520 Speaker 2: Event runs from two thirty to three forty five, and 258 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:22,080 Speaker 2: jello will be served. 259 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:25,120 Speaker 4: It's gonna be a country kitchen buffet, which is just 260 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:27,520 Speaker 4: which is just on the four ninety four loop, by 261 00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:29,400 Speaker 4: the way, folks, and you just get yourself over on 262 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 4: the four ninety four loop, and the Country Kitchen Buffet 263 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 4: is the after show. 264 00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:35,800 Speaker 3: Don't forget to try the green beans now with fresh 265 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 3: new sauce.

You pales can be in the retirement home, 270 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:55,200 Speaker 4: but you're hitting the point. 271 00:14:55,640 --> 00:15:01,080 Speaker 2: They're engaged in a retrospective of what they think made 272 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:06,040 Speaker 2: them valuable instead of actually doing something valuable. 273 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 3: One hundred thousand people show up. 274 00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:13,080 Speaker 2: Do we believe that this translates to power come November. 275 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:18,280 Speaker 4: I don't think so. I mean, it's hard to say. 276 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:21,440 Speaker 4: It won't be this. This will not be the catalyst 277 00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:23,640 Speaker 4: of this. This is going to be all the old 278 00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 4: showing up for one last hurrah of the of flower power. 279 00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:31,600 Speaker 4: And maybe a few people who are you know, have 280 00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:33,200 Speaker 4: an interest in older music. 281 00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:34,080 Speaker 3: But that's it. 282 00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:38,880 Speaker 4: I mean, this is a this is a demographic that's 283 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:43,880 Speaker 4: already set, crystallized, fossilized. I guess at this point it 284 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 4: is not an expanding demographic. This is This is a 285 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 4: nostalgia tour for old revolutionaries who are bitter in the 286 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,120 Speaker 4: fact that they've basically wasted their lives on it. 287 00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,200 Speaker 2: I didn't have it on my bingo car that no 288 00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:02,440 Speaker 2: Kings would be brought to you by Prune Juice, Insure, 289 00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 2: brought to play Insure.
