WEBVTT - The Refs Hate Us! 0:00:02.750 --> 0:00:06.910 And now, broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio 0:00:07.050 --> 0:00:11.610 at the George Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. 0:00:11.810 --> 0:00:13.090 Armstrong and Getty. 0:00:13.350 --> 0:00:20.250 And now, here's Armstrong and Getty. 0:00:25.210 --> 0:00:30.300 Live from Studio C. C, I don't see you, senor. 0:00:31.420 --> 0:00:33.960 A dimly lit room deep within the bowels of the 0:00:34.020 --> 0:00:38.180 Armstrong and Getty communications compound. And today, toiling under the 0:00:38.220 --> 0:00:39.080 title of the show. 0:00:40.180 --> 0:00:47.580 Welcome the latest socialist, J.D. Vance. What? That's right. I'm 0:00:47.640 --> 0:00:48.800 accusing him. 0:00:48.900 --> 0:00:50.919 You're going to stir up some S with that one. 0:00:50.950 --> 0:00:56.410 Oh, I love it. Or alternate title, Bad News, Don. 0:00:56.430 --> 0:01:00.290 I'm afraid you have a case of the Houthis. Ha ha. 0:01:01.020 --> 0:01:02.530 Oh, wow. That's a lighthearted look. 0:01:05.010 --> 0:01:05.990 Keeps me from crying. 0:01:07.890 --> 0:01:10.710 I am just about to pull in. I had a 0:01:10.730 --> 0:01:12.729 bit of a ZEP-bound emergency this morning. 0:01:13.490 --> 0:01:14.030 Oh, my. 0:01:14.709 --> 0:01:17.789 Talking to the doctor about that the other day. Those 0:01:17.810 --> 0:01:21.440 of us on the GLP-1s, about 15% of us have 0:01:21.500 --> 0:01:26.260 a certain reaction to those wonder drugs. I seem to 0:01:26.300 --> 0:01:26.820 be one of them. 0:01:27.720 --> 0:01:30.959 I see. Rivaling the humble goose. 0:01:31.120 --> 0:01:36.880 Are you? I don't imagine many people want a lot 0:01:36.900 --> 0:01:38.899 of details on that, but it can happen. 0:01:39.720 --> 0:01:42.470 Yeah, best to delay for a moment or two before 0:01:42.569 --> 0:01:44.110 one's morning drive, yes. 0:01:46.470 --> 0:01:50.230 Especially if you've had a good four or five-day buildup. 0:01:51.250 --> 0:01:54.440 Oh, now see. No, Katie, am I wrong? 0:01:54.980 --> 0:01:58.000 It was like you were so close to not going 0:01:58.060 --> 0:01:59.320 too far with that. 0:01:59.360 --> 0:02:01.840 You know what I mean? God, I thought, wow, he's 0:02:01.860 --> 0:02:04.100 turned over a new leaf. He's grown up. 0:02:04.940 --> 0:02:07.300 So can we edit that out for the podcast? 0:02:07.880 --> 0:02:10.240 Yeah, I'm sure we can. 0:02:10.900 --> 0:02:16.169 Okay, so explain the J.D. Vance title. 0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:20.239 We'll be featuring some actual audio from Mr. Vance later 0:02:20.280 --> 0:02:23.150 on the show, but he has really gone in for 0:02:23.330 --> 0:02:28.649 central planning for the government needs to be making many, 0:02:28.710 --> 0:02:32.310 many more decisions about how the economy works and apply 0:02:32.370 --> 0:02:36.900 a heavier hand. We're all socialists now, it would seem. 0:02:37.400 --> 0:02:39.919 The Republicans are in a bidding war with the Democrats 0:02:40.440 --> 0:02:44.000 for who can hand out the most goodies. for the election, 0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:46.160 the most benefits and that sort of thing. It's just, it's, 0:02:46.200 --> 0:02:48.940 that's the new way we're becoming Britain bit by bit. 0:02:49.860 --> 0:02:53.380 I remember many years ago, Newt was running for president. 0:02:53.580 --> 0:02:56.669 I think he was running for president. It was a 0:02:56.690 --> 0:02:59.790 long time ago, but when Newt Gingrich said, I don't 0:02:59.889 --> 0:03:03.890 like Republican social engineer, a right-wing social engineering any better 0:03:03.930 --> 0:03:06.410 than I like left-wing social engineering. And it always stuck 0:03:06.450 --> 0:03:09.850 in my head, like the right-wing social engineering, but there 0:03:09.930 --> 0:03:11.769 is more and more of that happening. Definitely. 0:03:12.380 --> 0:03:18.260 Well said, Newt. Where have you gone, Newt Gringrich? Your 0:03:18.300 --> 0:03:21.380 nation turns its lonely eyes to you. Woo, woo, woo. 0:03:22.150 --> 0:03:24.739 But from what I understand, you did not invent.... 0:03:27.210 --> 0:03:29.230 Hey, it's Jack. I did not invent what? 0:03:29.990 --> 0:03:33.750 From what I understand, you did not invent the idea 0:03:33.970 --> 0:03:35.820 of Chay-D-Vance. 0:03:36.480 --> 0:03:39.720 No, I'd love to have the credit for that, but no. No, 0:03:39.780 --> 0:03:40.720 I heard that somewhere else. 0:03:41.120 --> 0:03:41.360 Okay. 0:03:42.360 --> 0:03:42.940 That's pretty clever. 0:03:42.960 --> 0:03:45.420 I have a feeling that's going to make a number 0:03:45.460 --> 0:03:48.420 of people very, very angry that are big J.D. Vance fans, 0:03:48.500 --> 0:03:50.340 and he's the most likely person by far to be 0:03:50.360 --> 0:03:51.869 the Republican nominee for president. 0:03:52.260 --> 0:03:57.430 Let me check my pockets. I'm fresh out of F. Sorry. 0:03:57.450 --> 0:04:02.390 I caused him as I sees him. You don't like it? 0:04:02.930 --> 0:04:03.830 I don't know what to tell you. 0:04:03.850 --> 0:04:05.850 Did you look in your man bag? Maybe there's some 0:04:05.910 --> 0:04:06.210 in there. 0:04:07.970 --> 0:04:10.810 I carried no man bag, sir. Let's start the. 0:04:10.730 --> 0:04:12.890 Show officially before things get out of hand and then 0:04:12.930 --> 0:04:15.810 bring it back around. I'm Jack Armstrong. He's Joe Getty. 0:04:15.930 --> 0:04:20.470 On this, it is Wednesday already, September the 16th, the 0:04:20.510 --> 0:04:22.790 year 2026. We are Armstrong and Getty, and we approve 0:04:22.810 --> 0:04:23.410 of this program. 0:04:23.860 --> 0:04:27.080 Okay, let's start officially then. According to FCC rules and regulations, 0:04:27.140 --> 0:04:29.540 enough with the preliminaries. The show starts at mark. 0:04:29.900 --> 0:04:32.599 Well, some TV news following a massive leadership change. The 0:04:32.620 --> 0:04:35.419 new season of 60 Minutes just premiered to its smallest 0:04:35.560 --> 0:04:39.730 audience in more than 25 years. For some reason, the 0:04:39.830 --> 0:04:42.960 image of a ticking pocket watch isn't resonating with younger viewers. 0:04:46.560 --> 0:04:47.000 What is that? 0:04:48.520 --> 0:04:50.380 To get more viewers, they're changing the show to 3,600 TikToks. 0:04:50.400 --> 0:04:56.510 That's pretty good. That's a funny joke. 0:04:56.710 --> 0:04:58.810 And I'm glad he went with that because there is 0:04:58.880 --> 0:05:01.880 no doubt that the younger crowd is not into anything 0:05:01.940 --> 0:05:04.240 that's on the network or an hour long or all 0:05:04.279 --> 0:05:07.260 the different sorts of things. But so that many people 0:05:07.910 --> 0:05:11.390 that were loyal 60 Minutes fans like I have been 0:05:11.750 --> 0:05:15.860 since I was like 11 years old. Got the news 0:05:15.940 --> 0:05:19.930 that Barry Weiss, the so-called conservative, even though she's a 0:05:20.170 --> 0:05:25.810 gay pro-choice woman, and fired Scott Pelley and is so pro-Trump, 0:05:25.850 --> 0:05:28.890 I'm not watching anymore. So they had their lowest audience ever. 0:05:28.970 --> 0:05:34.610 That is unbelievable. After all those years of just ridiculous 0:05:35.330 --> 0:05:39.770 liberal bias stories that were just out of bounds in 0:05:39.810 --> 0:05:41.330 terms of trying to be journalistic. 0:05:42.010 --> 0:05:42.400 Wow. 0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:43.240 That's where we are. 0:05:43.830 --> 0:05:47.669 That is the playing field on which we play on 0:05:47.710 --> 0:05:50.010 when we play. I couldn't figure out how that's the playing. 0:05:50.250 --> 0:05:52.430 That's our playing field. That's what I'm trying to say. 0:05:52.850 --> 0:05:56.180 We just the refs hate us. If the refs are 0:05:56.210 --> 0:05:58.500 the media, which is why new media is so much 0:05:58.540 --> 0:05:59.100 more important. 0:05:59.400 --> 0:06:02.200 So many people have correctly perceived that. Well, I wonder 0:06:02.220 --> 0:06:05.039 if they'll drift back over time. The viewers doesn't matter. 0:06:05.140 --> 0:06:09.460 But the New York Times had a big, prominently popular. 0:06:09.750 --> 0:06:12.250 Placed peace saying, no, it was 60 minutes. 0:06:12.310 --> 0:06:14.890 It was good. It was fine. It was good. Yeah, 0:06:14.990 --> 0:06:18.930 it was. And even handed their second story was pretty political, 0:06:18.970 --> 0:06:19.490 but it was great. 0:06:20.450 --> 0:06:25.060 So AI continues to be in the news and maybe 0:06:25.140 --> 0:06:26.740 for the rest of our lives. I can't tell if 0:06:26.800 --> 0:06:30.219 this is just a blip or we're going to be 0:06:30.260 --> 0:06:35.630 talking about this. At practically this level for a long time, 0:06:35.710 --> 0:06:38.400 like when covid hit. I don't know. But, man, there's 0:06:38.580 --> 0:06:43.460 sure a lot of heavyweight chatter among highly placed AI 0:06:43.500 --> 0:06:47.870 people and highly placed government officials and financial people yesterday, 0:06:47.930 --> 0:06:50.529 just like there has been since last. Was it Thursday 0:06:50.570 --> 0:06:52.710 or Friday when the big story dropped with the guy 0:06:52.730 --> 0:06:54.210 saying we're all going to be dead in 10 years? 0:06:55.540 --> 0:06:58.479 Yeah, yeah. You know, speaking of the New York Times, 0:06:58.560 --> 0:07:02.040 the New York Times-Siena poll just came out, and it 0:07:03.620 --> 0:07:07.330 has all sorts of results that the paper is featuring 0:07:07.529 --> 0:07:11.150 having to do with people's attitude toward AI and data 0:07:11.170 --> 0:07:14.190 centers and superintelligence and that sort of stuff. But the 0:07:14.270 --> 0:07:18.390 poll was taken 10 days ago. And they even say 0:07:18.410 --> 0:07:21.620 in the paper, you know, it's possible some people's opinions 0:07:21.680 --> 0:07:25.850 have evolved somewhat. And I was thinking to myself, In 0:07:25.870 --> 0:07:29.630 the last 10 days, there has been an enormous change 0:07:29.670 --> 0:07:32.690 in people's perception of these things. And then I thought 0:07:32.730 --> 0:07:37.890 to myself, I says to myself, I says, how do 0:07:37.910 --> 0:07:41.750 we live in a world in which people can hear 0:07:41.830 --> 0:07:47.420 about something, something complicated? I mean, like the ultimate example 0:07:47.450 --> 0:07:52.870 of they're both true. Two seemingly opposing ideas. But hear that, 0:07:52.970 --> 0:07:56.610 try to process it, understand what's actually happening, and develop 0:07:56.670 --> 0:08:00.500 a strong take that they won't budge from, probably ever 0:08:00.540 --> 0:08:02.520 for the rest of their lives, in the space of 0:08:02.560 --> 0:08:04.440 a week. What is that? 0:08:05.440 --> 0:08:05.960 Tribalism? 0:08:06.840 --> 0:08:10.040 I guess. Oh, I had one more thought on that topic. 0:08:10.380 --> 0:08:13.620 I want to express to the good people listening how 0:08:13.660 --> 0:08:17.800 much I appreciate that you are here. Not just because 0:08:17.820 --> 0:08:21.180 you're our listeners and customers. I don't need the money. 0:08:21.260 --> 0:08:25.600 I'm very wealthy. I bought 10,000 shares of Apple stock 0:08:25.720 --> 0:08:26.590 in 1994. 0:08:26.590 --> 0:08:27.220 1979. 0:08:27.220 --> 0:08:32.810 I couldn't remember when they started for my great life. Anyway, no, 0:08:32.910 --> 0:08:36.030 it's not just about commerce. It gives me hope that 0:08:36.050 --> 0:08:39.570 there are at least some people who think, hmm, there 0:08:39.670 --> 0:08:42.040 are smart people who seem to think the other thing. 0:08:42.100 --> 0:08:45.179 I wonder what their ideas are. I hope there's a 0:08:45.240 --> 0:08:46.620 market for that. I really do. 0:08:48.670 --> 0:08:50.890 Yeah, well, we'll get into that coming up. I heard 0:08:50.929 --> 0:08:56.790 the best realistic description of how AI would kill us yesterday, 0:08:57.150 --> 0:08:59.260 since that's been one of the questions for the past week. 0:08:59.660 --> 0:09:01.719 How exactly would it kill us? You keep talking about 0:09:01.780 --> 0:09:03.410 it'll kill us. Will it kill us? It might kill us. 0:09:03.660 --> 0:09:05.680 In what way will it kill us? And it turns 0:09:05.740 --> 0:09:09.800 out the answer is with a club. So that's not good. 0:09:09.820 --> 0:09:10.520 Barbaric! 0:09:12.240 --> 0:09:14.579 It's gruesome. I'm sorry. 0:09:14.600 --> 0:09:19.309 That's such a bad joke. That's not what I was picturing. 0:09:19.330 --> 0:09:23.780 Big club to death by AI. That's considerably more primal 0:09:23.800 --> 0:09:24.740 than I expected. 0:09:24.820 --> 0:09:28.439 That's not high tech at all. 0:09:28.460 --> 0:09:32.400 Okay, we will get to Katie's headlines coming up and 0:09:32.420 --> 0:09:33.160 more news of the day. 0:09:33.220 --> 0:09:34.020 Hope you can stay here. 0:09:35.620 --> 0:09:43.160 Armstrong and. 0:09:45.550 --> 0:09:45.729 Getty. 0:09:45.770 --> 0:09:47.270 The Armstrong and Getty Show. 0:09:52.230 --> 0:09:54.510 Is Saudi Arabia about to go to war with the Houthis? 0:09:54.730 --> 0:09:57.089 And the Houthis apparently are armed like a, well, like 0:09:57.150 --> 0:09:58.990 a real military, like it could be a real war. 0:09:59.190 --> 0:10:03.140 So that's exciting. to have out there as a possibility. Also, 0:10:03.179 --> 0:10:05.720 we got a story about an AI actress. I can't 0:10:05.760 --> 0:10:07.900 wrap my head around what that means. So I look 0:10:07.920 --> 0:10:12.099 forward to that discussion later. What the F type of 0:10:12.240 --> 0:10:14.340 AIS it is. No kidding. 0:10:14.360 --> 0:10:16.450 What the F type of AI shit it is. Yeah. 0:10:17.210 --> 0:10:19.950 Yeah. All right. We'll try to figure it out. But first, 0:10:19.970 --> 0:10:21.830 let's figure out who's reporting what. It's the lead story 0:10:21.850 --> 0:10:23.929 with Katie Green. Take it away. 0:10:24.270 --> 0:10:26.610 All righty. The Alphabet Network's ABC. 0:10:27.010 --> 0:10:27.370 U.S. 0:10:27.510 --> 0:10:32.179 Says Americans should, quote, reconsider travel to Saudi Arabia. 0:10:32.860 --> 0:10:33.880 I will. Yeah. 0:10:34.760 --> 0:10:35.319 NBC. 0:10:35.420 --> 0:10:38.740 Saudi Arabia accuses the Houthis of attacking Mecca, warns that 0:10:38.800 --> 0:10:41.200 Holy City is, quote, a red line. 0:10:43.510 --> 0:10:45.090 And CNN. 0:10:45.570 --> 0:10:48.250 So attacking their oil installations isn't a red line? 0:10:49.290 --> 0:10:53.109 Well, yeah, but attacking Mecca, that sounds to me like 0:10:53.510 --> 0:10:56.200 they're trying to whip up their people. Saudi Arabia is. 0:10:56.630 --> 0:10:58.800 They know they're about to go to war with the Houthis, 0:10:59.140 --> 0:11:03.200 and that's some really useful wartime propaganda. Because, you know, 0:11:03.240 --> 0:11:06.920 Saudi Arabia is an uneasy balance of modernity and, like, 0:11:07.260 --> 0:11:12.100 the year 832. with fundamentalist Muslims ooching about in the desert, 0:11:12.140 --> 0:11:13.559 and they've got to rally their support. 0:11:15.160 --> 0:11:19.760 And also this one from CNN. Iran's newfound precision in 0:11:19.860 --> 0:11:23.699 hitting United States assets may have had Russian help. 0:11:25.059 --> 0:11:31.720 And Chinese help. NPR. Iran's back to building ballistic missiles, too. 0:11:33.140 --> 0:11:33.340 Goody. 0:11:35.170 --> 0:11:39.140 From NPR, the Fed is expected to raise interest rates 0:11:39.220 --> 0:11:41.160 for the first time in three years. 0:11:43.580 --> 0:11:45.880 Trump is probably going to level a blast at that 0:11:45.960 --> 0:11:48.040 new guy Kevin Warsh like he did at the Supreme 0:11:48.140 --> 0:11:49.390 Court justices yesterday. 0:11:49.410 --> 0:11:50.710 Yeah, I'm almost guaranteed. 0:11:50.730 --> 0:11:53.030 He's not the guy I interviewed. He's a shell of himself. 0:11:53.370 --> 0:11:54.670 Interest rates going up. 0:11:55.530 --> 0:11:58.290 Moving up. CNBC. 0:11:58.320 --> 0:12:04.760 CNBC. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg sides with NVIDIA's CEO on 0:12:04.880 --> 0:12:07.120 AI safety and the slowdown debate. 0:12:08.240 --> 0:12:12.260 Yeah, we got an interesting clip or quote from a 0:12:12.300 --> 0:12:15.700 guy that runs NVIDIA about the whole AI thing. See 0:12:15.740 --> 0:12:18.660 if you agree or disagree with what his take is. 0:12:18.679 --> 0:12:20.740 That's the most valuable company in the world. 0:12:20.800 --> 0:12:24.630 Isn't it? It's damn valuable anyway. They should be proud 0:12:24.670 --> 0:12:25.130 of themselves. 0:12:25.450 --> 0:12:30.260 Yeah. This was awful yesterday from the Washington Post. Three 0:12:30.380 --> 0:12:34.790 dead after L.A. news helicopter goes down while covering crash. 0:12:35.690 --> 0:12:39.170 Oh, that's a bad story. Yikes. 0:12:39.470 --> 0:12:40.569 And all the networks. 0:12:41.190 --> 0:12:43.390 I was watching a few of them at the same 0:12:43.429 --> 0:12:45.150 time while this was happening, trying to figure out if 0:12:45.210 --> 0:12:46.130 it was one of their news. 0:12:46.220 --> 0:12:49.500 Right. Oh, yeah. 0:12:49.520 --> 0:12:50.760 And friends of theirs and everything. 0:12:50.780 --> 0:12:50.939 Yeah. 0:12:50.980 --> 0:12:51.959 I saw some of those clips. 0:12:52.300 --> 0:12:52.540 Yeah. 0:12:53.640 --> 0:12:54.280 New York Post. 0:12:54.970 --> 0:12:56.170 Forget your data privacy. 0:12:56.580 --> 0:13:00.120 AI chatbots already know more about you than your own mother. 0:13:02.040 --> 0:13:04.100 Oh, because of the information we give them while we're 0:13:04.120 --> 0:13:05.740 talking to them? Okay. 0:13:06.300 --> 0:13:07.380 Yeah, that's clearly true. 0:13:07.850 --> 0:13:10.170 Yeah, that's one thing. The new Apple Siri, if you've 0:13:10.190 --> 0:13:13.010 downloaded the new operating system that just came out, the 0:13:13.050 --> 0:13:16.250 new AI, Siri AI, it's supposed to be a leap forward, 0:13:16.270 --> 0:13:18.860 supposed to be on par with like chat GPT and 0:13:18.880 --> 0:13:21.310 stuff like that. I haven't tried it out yet. But 0:13:21.350 --> 0:13:23.290 it's going to keep track of everything you're saying and 0:13:23.350 --> 0:13:28.150 doing in one place, which could be very, very helpful. Hey, Siri, 0:13:28.190 --> 0:13:30.590 you know that meeting I have on Thursday because Siri 0:13:30.690 --> 0:13:32.770 is looking at your email and your phone and everything 0:13:32.809 --> 0:13:34.710 like that and, you know, bringing it all together. But 0:13:34.770 --> 0:13:36.980 on the other hand, it's going to have an awful 0:13:37.010 --> 0:13:37.670 lot of info. 0:13:38.220 --> 0:13:41.300 Yeah, but they're competing with things that some of which 0:13:41.320 --> 0:13:46.050 we've just mentioned that do that without Apple's. incredibly strict 0:13:46.150 --> 0:13:49.130 privacy standards. One of the things holding Apple back in 0:13:49.270 --> 0:13:52.429 AI is that it protects people's privacy so much and 0:13:52.490 --> 0:13:54.610 isn't fast and loose with sending data back and forth. 0:13:54.830 --> 0:13:57.570 But Siri being in your phone can grab all that 0:13:57.630 --> 0:13:58.350 stuff in your phone. 0:13:58.890 --> 0:13:59.170 Right. 0:14:00.370 --> 0:14:01.550 There's a funny joke about that. 0:14:01.590 --> 0:14:04.830 Go ahead, Katie. I'll find the joke. Hey Siri, snitches 0:14:04.870 --> 0:14:08.950 get stitches, huh? From the Wall Street? Yeah, mine too. 0:14:09.330 --> 0:14:09.809 Oh boy. 0:14:13.960 --> 0:14:16.600 Used to describe what will happen if someone informs on 0:14:16.640 --> 0:14:18.179 them or another party. 0:14:19.560 --> 0:14:22.160 Yeah i know what it means all right back to 0:14:22.210 --> 0:14:23.210 you katie. 0:14:23.390 --> 0:14:27.830 From the wall street journal this english village is threatening 0:14:27.890 --> 0:14:31.510 to quit the uk over planned asylum camp. 0:14:32.790 --> 0:14:36.720 Oh is that a thing Can you quit? They're seceding. 0:14:37.280 --> 0:14:40.560 Yeah, they're up in arms over a proposal to house 0:14:41.000 --> 0:14:45.540 over 1,200, quote, asylum seekers at a former military base. 0:14:45.740 --> 0:14:49.450 And this is a town that has a population of 350. 0:14:49.450 --> 0:14:52.490 Good for y'all. Fight it as hard as you possibly can. 0:14:52.870 --> 0:14:55.030 Fight it like your lives depend on it and your 0:14:55.130 --> 0:14:56.510 daughter's lives depend on it. 0:14:58.290 --> 0:14:58.910 Study finds. 0:14:59.940 --> 0:15:06.080 Where Americans want pets out. Doctors' offices, grocery stores, and 0:15:06.240 --> 0:15:07.820 anywhere food is served. 0:15:08.140 --> 0:15:12.450 Yeah, I don't particularly want them all the other places either, 0:15:12.510 --> 0:15:14.930 but I suppose that ship has sailed as we've gone 0:15:14.970 --> 0:15:17.230 from a society that has kids to a society that 0:15:17.270 --> 0:15:19.350 has pets. I was telling my kids when we were 0:15:19.390 --> 0:15:21.700 at the hotel, I went to see my mom and dad. 0:15:22.580 --> 0:15:25.040 Dogs everywhere. I said, when I was a kid, if 0:15:25.860 --> 0:15:28.820 you walked into a hotel and somebody had a dog 0:15:29.220 --> 0:15:31.900 in the elevator, you'd have thought, oh, my God, there's. 0:15:31.720 --> 0:15:32.960 A dog in the elevator. 0:15:33.440 --> 0:15:33.640 Right. 0:15:33.840 --> 0:15:37.360 Now it's always, like, more likely than not there's a 0:15:37.380 --> 0:15:38.180 dog in the elevator. 0:15:38.870 --> 0:15:41.110 My bride and I are planning a vacation, and I 0:15:41.150 --> 0:15:44.229 saw one hotel we were looking at and said, you know, whatever, 0:15:44.390 --> 0:15:50.190 Jones Hotel is family-friendly, and Jones Hotel is pet-friendly. I'm like, oh, great. 0:15:50.450 --> 0:15:54.430 The last hotel I was in, Yapping dog. Right down 0:15:54.470 --> 0:15:57.360 the hallway. Yapped for an hour straight. Then we left. 0:15:57.420 --> 0:15:58.800 It might have gone for 12 hours straight. 0:15:58.840 --> 0:15:59.160 I don't know. 0:15:59.180 --> 0:16:00.520 We left. Unbelievable. 0:16:00.540 --> 0:16:02.500 A lot of y'all look miserable to me. You're like 0:16:02.580 --> 0:16:04.640 trying to corral your dog and you're trying to get 0:16:04.660 --> 0:16:06.220 it to find some place to let it pee. 0:16:06.520 --> 0:16:07.300 It doesn't look that. 0:16:07.180 --> 0:16:07.660 Fun to me. 0:16:08.470 --> 0:16:10.229 I love dogs, but I just don't get it. 0:16:11.690 --> 0:16:13.730 And finally, the Babylon Bee. 0:16:14.930 --> 0:16:18.670 Sidney Sweeney tries to gain support of liberal women by 0:16:18.790 --> 0:16:19.950 murdering multiple children. 0:16:20.490 --> 0:16:21.390 Oh. Oh. 0:16:22.520 --> 0:16:23.120 Wow. 0:16:23.560 --> 0:16:27.700 That was a Clancy comment, not a Sidney Sweeney comment, really. 0:16:28.780 --> 0:16:29.960 I get it. That's good. 0:16:30.020 --> 0:16:32.260 Is there anything I could log into so I don't 0:16:32.320 --> 0:16:34.720 hear Sidney Sweeney's name ever again? Is there an opt 0:16:34.960 --> 0:16:39.780 out place somewhere where she never crosses my path in 0:16:39.840 --> 0:16:40.470 any way? 0:16:41.300 --> 0:16:44.670 As a heterosexual man, I will concede that Ms. Sweeney 0:16:44.850 --> 0:16:48.850 is of spectacular sexiness, but she has now achieved the 0:16:48.890 --> 0:16:53.360 level of unless she cures cancer. Or we used to 0:16:53.420 --> 0:16:55.680 say assassinates the president, but now people try to do 0:16:55.720 --> 0:16:58.680 that over and over again. So unless she cures cancer 0:16:58.960 --> 0:17:01.560 or sets foot on the moon, I don't want to 0:17:01.740 --> 0:17:06.220 hear her name again. There's actually a piece in the 0:17:06.250 --> 0:17:09.530 free press about Sidney Sweeney derangement syndrome. 0:17:09.810 --> 0:17:10.369 Oh, really? 0:17:10.390 --> 0:17:12.929 Yeah. That's pretty clever. 0:17:13.330 --> 0:17:16.010 Yeah. Well, we definitely have more news to get to. 0:17:16.590 --> 0:17:19.030 A lot going on. The whole Middle East thing. I 0:17:19.490 --> 0:17:21.080 know this sounds crazy to say. 0:17:21.810 --> 0:17:22.230 Oh, boy. 0:17:22.470 --> 0:17:25.750 Could just explode. I mean, if it's Saudi Arabia and 0:17:25.770 --> 0:17:28.750 the Houthis really go to war, how's Iran and Israel 0:17:28.770 --> 0:17:31.130 and the United States get sucked into that? I don't know. 0:17:32.340 --> 0:17:32.959 Armstrong. 0:17:41.440 --> 0:17:43.160 The Armstrong and Getty Show. 0:17:45.830 --> 0:17:49.840 Saudi Arabia is vowing to take firm measures against Iranian-backed 0:17:49.880 --> 0:17:54.109 Houthi fighters who continue to strike static oil infrastructure and 0:17:54.170 --> 0:17:58.619 threaten multiple cities, including Mecca. A drone attack last week 0:17:58.670 --> 0:18:02.900 hit the 700-mile east-west pipeline, forcing a shutdown that could 0:18:02.940 --> 0:18:06.420 last for weeks and impact the ability to transport four 0:18:06.560 --> 0:18:08.840 million barrels of oil a day to market. 0:18:09.080 --> 0:18:12.379 They've learned from Iranian training and Iranian. 0:18:12.000 --> 0:18:15.400 Support over the years how to be essentially these effective 0:18:15.460 --> 0:18:17.060 Islamist pirates in the region. 0:18:18.440 --> 0:18:22.800 So iran and saudi arabia have been avowed enemies forever 0:18:22.820 --> 0:18:26.359 right you got the whole sunni shia thing going one 0:18:26.440 --> 0:18:29.730 of them's one of them to iran's shia and saudi 0:18:29.750 --> 0:18:33.470 arabia's sunni is that right yes uh correct. 0:18:33.190 --> 0:18:35.250 Not to mention just the good old uh who's going 0:18:35.270 --> 0:18:37.590 to be the power who's going to be the top dog. 0:18:37.390 --> 0:18:40.230 Right which might have more to do with it certainly 0:18:40.270 --> 0:18:44.920 among the leadership um This is closer to them going 0:18:44.960 --> 0:18:49.430 to war, definitely, since the Houthis are full-on Iranian, created 0:18:49.490 --> 0:18:52.070 and backed. Although, I was reading a long article the 0:18:52.090 --> 0:18:54.330 other day about how they're way more independent than a 0:18:54.350 --> 0:18:57.129 lot of these other groups at this point, and very, 0:18:57.290 --> 0:18:58.090 very well-armed. 0:18:58.950 --> 0:19:02.510 Interesting, yeah. The fight in Yemen, which has been the 0:19:02.530 --> 0:19:07.450 greatest humanitarian catastrophe in whatever number of decades. It's funny 0:19:07.490 --> 0:19:10.060 that college kids aren't marching about that. It's weird. 0:19:10.260 --> 0:19:10.420 Anyway. 0:19:11.780 --> 0:19:15.629 It's long been a proxy fight between Iran and Saudi Arabia. 0:19:15.730 --> 0:19:17.850 Now it could just be a it's on. 0:19:18.310 --> 0:19:19.130 No more proxies. 0:19:19.190 --> 0:19:22.650 I want to punch you in the face situation. That 0:19:22.690 --> 0:19:24.830 report from Fox goes on. 0:19:25.890 --> 0:19:30.500 Houthi fighters are overrunning Yemen government forces, leaving chaos and 0:19:30.560 --> 0:19:33.679 death in their wake, vowing to take control of one 0:19:33.700 --> 0:19:37.060 of the most strategic waterways in the world, the Bab 0:19:37.200 --> 0:19:41.050 al-Mandeb Strait, an 18-mile strip of water at the mouth 0:19:41.090 --> 0:19:41.899 of the Red Sea. 0:19:42.570 --> 0:19:44.409 More than $ 1 trillion. 0:19:44.369 --> 0:19:47.930 Worth of cargo passes through the strait each year, including 12% 0:19:47.930 --> 0:19:48.560 of the world's oil. 0:19:50.160 --> 0:19:54.760 We are capable of closing Bab el-Mandab strait and the 0:19:54.800 --> 0:19:58.280 Red Sea maritime navigation due to advances in our missile 0:19:58.300 --> 0:19:59.560 and aerial capabilities. 0:19:59.660 --> 0:20:02.670 Well, that seems like a big deal. It's a huge 0:20:02.710 --> 0:20:04.930 deal in a lot of different ways. The war part, 0:20:04.990 --> 0:20:08.310 which you've outlined, and also energy-wise, that was one of 0:20:08.330 --> 0:20:11.470 the main bypasses the Saudis were using to get the 0:20:11.520 --> 0:20:13.980 royal out because the Strait of Hormuz is a tad 0:20:14.040 --> 0:20:17.399 clogged up, you may have heard. So, yeah, this is 0:20:17.980 --> 0:20:18.659 a development. 0:20:20.040 --> 0:20:24.139 So then we go to Trey Yankstofox, who's got our 0:20:24.200 --> 0:20:27.780 involvement in some of the violence that's going on over there. 0:20:28.400 --> 0:20:31.340 Tension remains high around the Strait of Hormuz as reports 0:20:31.520 --> 0:20:35.890 indicate multiple explosions were heard there overnight. The Iranians claim 0:20:35.910 --> 0:20:39.590 they shot down an MQ-1 Predator drone belonging to the 0:20:39.630 --> 0:20:40.409 United States. 0:20:40.770 --> 0:20:41.710 And we do know that U.S. 0:20:41.770 --> 0:20:45.280 Forces targeted a number of small Iranian boats that were 0:20:45.520 --> 0:20:47.680 reportedly trying to steal a U.S. 0:20:47.760 --> 0:20:49.240 Sea drone earlier this week. 0:20:50.200 --> 0:20:53.639 We fired off a ton of our best. We're running 0:20:53.720 --> 0:20:55.500 low on munitions yesterday. 0:20:56.070 --> 0:20:57.609 I was just going to jump in and say before 0:20:57.650 --> 0:21:01.170 we continue with Trey. Yeah, we fired 70 or more 0:21:01.320 --> 0:21:06.160
