WEBVTT - They Didn't Raise Themselves 0:00:07.280 --> 0:00:11.600 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:11.640 --> 0:00:15.720 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. 0:00:15.600 --> 0:00:18.000 Armstrong and and He. 0:00:20.840 --> 0:00:22.680 Armstrong and Yetti. 0:00:28.760 --> 0:00:32.160 Abolish the police, Abolish Ice, abolished borders, abolished the Senate, 0:00:32.159 --> 0:00:38.640 abolished the Constitution. It's an extreme political ideology that is 0:00:38.840 --> 0:00:43.479 gaining traction. The Democrat leadership has lost control. They know it, 0:00:43.960 --> 0:00:48.920 and people like Alexandria Ocassio Cartez Hong in Wisconsin, Abdua 0:00:49.000 --> 0:00:51.480 l Saiet in Michigan. You talked about the big tent. 0:00:52.000 --> 0:00:56.080 The Democrat Jewish Attorney General of Michigan cannot even go 0:00:56.120 --> 0:00:59.760 to her party's nominating convention because she says I won't 0:00:59.760 --> 0:01:03.680 be because of the supporters of abdul l say ed. 0:01:04.959 --> 0:01:08.760 It is not hyperbole to suggest that we are in 0:01:08.840 --> 0:01:14.800 a battle for the Constitution of the United States and 0:01:16.520 --> 0:01:20.160 the way that constitution has given us such a wonderful 0:01:20.920 --> 0:01:24.920 way of life, so much opportunity, so much safety. And 0:01:25.000 --> 0:01:28.039 nobody knows that better than our colleague Jason Rantz, who 0:01:28.040 --> 0:01:30.960 holds down afternoon Drive on one of the great conservative 0:01:31.000 --> 0:01:35.520 radio stations in America, Seattle Read seven seventy AM. Jason 0:01:35.640 --> 0:01:38.280 joins us now. Jason, how are you, my friend. I'm 0:01:38.280 --> 0:01:41.319 doing well. Thanks for having me excellent. Oh it's a pleasure. 0:01:41.360 --> 0:01:42.960 I'm so glad you had a little bit of time. 0:01:43.640 --> 0:01:46.400 You based out of Seattle. You're a man of the 0:01:46.400 --> 0:01:49.640 Pacific Northwest, which is one of my favorite places on earth. 0:01:49.920 --> 0:01:55.200 My daughter lives not very far from you. Watching the 0:01:55.280 --> 0:02:02.520 progressives damage your state and city is painful, and it's 0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:05.280 got to be painful for you, but at the same 0:02:05.320 --> 0:02:08.800 time kind of energizing. Help people understand what Washington State 0:02:08.919 --> 0:02:10.920 looks like in what direction it's headed these days. 0:02:11.639 --> 0:02:14.280 Oh, we're certainly not going in the right direction. The 0:02:14.320 --> 0:02:17.639 biggest fight right now is, well, there's actually quite a 0:02:17.680 --> 0:02:20.520 few fights coming into this election. We've got three initiatives 0:02:20.520 --> 0:02:22.960 on the ballot that have been forwarded by conservatives. 0:02:23.360 --> 0:02:25.720 One is to reverse course. 0:02:25.800 --> 0:02:28.880 For the twelfth time on an income tax that Democrats 0:02:28.960 --> 0:02:31.000 keep trying to impose on all of us. They have 0:02:31.360 --> 0:02:34.720 completely rigged the system to make it as difficult as 0:02:34.800 --> 0:02:38.720 humanly possible to get rid of this income tax. But 0:02:38.760 --> 0:02:42.160 we're obviously going to fight for that. The other two issues, 0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:44.240 one having to do with a pro bill of rights, 0:02:44.280 --> 0:02:47.520 which no longer exists in the state of Washington. After 0:02:47.680 --> 0:02:51.480 voters passed it, the Democrat legislature said, now we're going 0:02:51.560 --> 0:02:53.919 to just reverse course on what the voters wanted, and 0:02:54.400 --> 0:02:58.799 the final one would ban transgender girls from competing against 0:02:58.800 --> 0:03:03.360 biological girls in high school sports. All three poll on 0:03:03.440 --> 0:03:05.840 the side of conservatives because I don't think they're viewed 0:03:06.040 --> 0:03:09.240 as political issues, at least not inherently. That these are 0:03:09.280 --> 0:03:13.600 issues that, regardless of how one identifies politically, can say, yeah, 0:03:13.600 --> 0:03:16.920 this is not something we want in our state. Democrats 0:03:16.960 --> 0:03:19.120 continue to ignore it. So now it's going to the people. 0:03:19.639 --> 0:03:24.160 Seattle specifically, we're seeing an increase in crime again, homelessness 0:03:24.240 --> 0:03:25.840 is getting out of control, and we have a mayor 0:03:25.840 --> 0:03:28.720 who's a socialist who's never held a real job in 0:03:28.760 --> 0:03:33.320 her life, and she's not handling this position very well, 0:03:33.440 --> 0:03:35.960 to the point where even left wing media is calling 0:03:35.960 --> 0:03:37.240 her out for incompetence. 0:03:37.880 --> 0:03:40.640 Yeah, Katie Wilson, the mayor of Seattle, reminds me of 0:03:40.680 --> 0:03:44.080 Francesca Hong, the woman child who wants to be governor 0:03:44.120 --> 0:03:44.640 of Wisconsin. 0:03:44.680 --> 0:03:46.000 They're kind of cut. 0:03:45.800 --> 0:03:49.440 From the same cloth, Dreamy. I mean, at least Francesca 0:03:49.480 --> 0:03:52.280 Hong has been a cook. I mean, she's had a job, 0:03:52.880 --> 0:03:53.800 tend's bar now and. 0:03:53.760 --> 0:03:56.040 Again, but kind of that dreamy. 0:03:56.640 --> 0:03:59.000 All they know is what they learned in their social 0:03:59.000 --> 0:04:03.760 classes at college, supported by mom and dad. Still, it's 0:04:03.880 --> 0:04:06.120 just shocking to me that these people get elected. 0:04:07.200 --> 0:04:10.000 Well, the good news is, at least in Wisconsin, she'll 0:04:10.040 --> 0:04:12.520 win tonight, hok will win the primary. She's not going 0:04:12.560 --> 0:04:15.840 to get elected. There's no one, sirius, who thinks she 0:04:16.040 --> 0:04:19.840 stands a shot in Wisconsin for governor. It's the same 0:04:19.880 --> 0:04:25.120 thing in Michigan, where you know privately Democrats will acknowledge, yeah, 0:04:25.160 --> 0:04:28.040 there's no way Abdul al Sayed is going to win this. 0:04:28.160 --> 0:04:32.320 He's too extreme for Michigan. The threat for Republicans would 0:04:32.360 --> 0:04:37.440 have been Hayley Stevens. Different take in Seattle and Washington, right, 0:04:37.480 --> 0:04:40.560 I mean, we are deeply, deeply, deeply blue. We are 0:04:40.640 --> 0:04:44.960 unapologetically blue, and Seattle is the worst of the worst. 0:04:45.040 --> 0:04:47.520 So you can get someone like a Katie Wilson or 0:04:48.000 --> 0:04:52.040 el Said or Hong and they could. 0:04:51.880 --> 0:04:52.640 In fact win there. 0:04:52.640 --> 0:04:55.120 And that's the scary part where people don't look at 0:04:55.120 --> 0:05:00.080 these people at the local level where I'm from and say, Okay, 0:05:00.279 --> 0:05:02.840 I guess I agree with them ideologically, but they don't 0:05:02.839 --> 0:05:04.800 have any experience, and I don't want to turn over 0:05:04.839 --> 0:05:07.560 the reins to a major city with a huge budget 0:05:07.560 --> 0:05:11.160 to someone like that simply because I agree with them ideologically. 0:05:11.160 --> 0:05:13.960 There's got to be someone else who I can align with, 0:05:14.120 --> 0:05:17.520 who actually comes with some experience. We don't vote like that, 0:05:18.000 --> 0:05:20.320 and we suffer the consequences as a result. 0:05:21.040 --> 0:05:24.920 We've all watched San Francisco take a turn towards the sane. 0:05:25.400 --> 0:05:27.360 Daniel Lurry's the mayor there, and. 0:05:27.320 --> 0:05:30.720 He's no Conservative, but he's the sort of fellow that 0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:35.960 you're describing. He can perceive reality and tell you about it. 0:05:36.320 --> 0:05:40.000 I see in Vancouver, which is one of the great 0:05:40.040 --> 0:05:43.280 places on Earth, that the police have been ordered to 0:05:43.279 --> 0:05:47.840 stop citing shoplifting and public hard drug use. I mean, 0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:51.839 doubling down on the absolutely corrosive policies that we've seen 0:05:51.960 --> 0:05:53.640 fail so miserably everywhere else. 0:05:54.040 --> 0:05:56.320 Well, and that's the sad part about all of this. 0:05:56.320 --> 0:05:57.520 This is twenty twenty six. 0:05:57.600 --> 0:05:59.839 This is in twenty twenty through twenty twenty three, where 0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:02.520 out of the defund police and the abolition has had 0:06:02.560 --> 0:06:06.320 a whole lot of control and decided to completely redefine 0:06:06.880 --> 0:06:10.720 what policing and prosecution meant and meant, and we all 0:06:10.880 --> 0:06:15.840 saw the results of that. We saw crime skyrocket. Only recently, 0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:18.000 in the last couple of years have we seen those 0:06:18.080 --> 0:06:21.360 numbers to start coming back down to where they used 0:06:21.400 --> 0:06:22.359 to be pre COVID. 0:06:22.680 --> 0:06:24.919 Because you know, it's kind of like going on a diet. 0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:28.240 It takes a very long time to lose like ten pounds, 0:06:28.279 --> 0:06:29.800 and then you go to Vegas for the weekend and 0:06:29.880 --> 0:06:33.560 then you gain fifteen. It's really, really, really easy to 0:06:33.720 --> 0:06:38.120 destroy our communities and lead to this rise in crime. 0:06:38.440 --> 0:06:41.599 It takes a long time to go back to normal, 0:06:41.920 --> 0:06:45.960 and that's what we've seen, only for Vancouver to reverse course. 0:06:46.000 --> 0:06:48.240 And again this was all by design that not to 0:06:48.240 --> 0:06:49.680 get two in the weeds. But the reason why they're 0:06:49.680 --> 0:06:53.119 doing this in Vancouver is because the Washington State Supreme Court, 0:06:53.160 --> 0:06:58.440 which is dominated by liberals, lowered the threshold for the 0:06:58.760 --> 0:07:01.039 minimum or the excuse me, the maximum cases that a 0:07:01.040 --> 0:07:05.360 public defender can hold, and every prosecutor outside of Seattle 0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:09.000 and King County said, we don't have enough, you know, 0:07:09.240 --> 0:07:12.280 defenders for this for what you're asking, and if you 0:07:12.600 --> 0:07:16.000 change these rules, you're gonna make it so that we 0:07:16.080 --> 0:07:18.480 can't actually prosecute we're gonna have to just release people. 0:07:18.480 --> 0:07:20.440 We're not even gonna be able to charge them. And 0:07:20.560 --> 0:07:22.760 this is a direct result. They ignored all of the 0:07:22.760 --> 0:07:25.480 complaints coming from the prosecuting attorney's office because they're the 0:07:25.480 --> 0:07:28.400 ones who have to fund the public defender's offices. They 0:07:28.480 --> 0:07:30.760 just ignored all of that. They implemented the plan, and 0:07:30.800 --> 0:07:32.480 now we're seeing the results. And again, this is not 0:07:32.520 --> 0:07:35.040 just specifically to Vancouver. If you go all around the 0:07:35.040 --> 0:07:37.440 state of Washington, you're going to see similar instances in 0:07:37.480 --> 0:07:40.640 which criminals are being let go because they just don't 0:07:40.680 --> 0:07:43.120 have public defenders to handle the cases. 0:07:43.880 --> 0:07:47.400 We're talking to a Jason Rantz, you know, Jason, occasionally 0:07:47.400 --> 0:07:50.760 I'll take off my patriot and concerned citizen hat and 0:07:50.800 --> 0:07:54.040 just put on my political science, you know, analyst hat. 0:07:54.120 --> 0:07:58.720 And I've got to tell you the far left were 0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:03.120 it was in genius that they ran their candidates for 0:08:03.280 --> 0:08:06.760 district attorney, county attorney, that sort of thing, county prosecutor, 0:08:07.000 --> 0:08:09.840 and got the Marxists in and took over the school boards, 0:08:10.080 --> 0:08:13.200 while the rest of us were assuming that, well, everybody 0:08:13.240 --> 0:08:14.880 has the same values because we all grew up. 0:08:14.800 --> 0:08:16.240 With them, we were taught them. We love this country. 0:08:16.240 --> 0:08:16.960 Blah blah blah. 0:08:17.000 --> 0:08:20.680 That was a stroke of evil genius, but as you indicate, 0:08:21.360 --> 0:08:24.400 digging our way out of the holes that that's created, 0:08:24.520 --> 0:08:27.680 and we need to win back those offices and then 0:08:27.760 --> 0:08:29.680 spend years ondoing this stuff. 0:08:30.440 --> 0:08:30.720 We do. 0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:35.960 And you know, generally conservatives and independence to a degree, 0:08:36.040 --> 0:08:38.840 just by their definition of being an independent, we're not 0:08:38.880 --> 0:08:44.640 particularly organized. And the far left is they are very organized. 0:08:44.640 --> 0:08:48.360 A lot of them do this professionally, you know, sort 0:08:48.400 --> 0:08:50.840 of live in this activist space. They take advantage of 0:08:50.840 --> 0:08:54.720 younger voters who, especially during primaries when the turnout is 0:08:54.840 --> 0:08:55.720 generally low. 0:08:56.559 --> 0:08:58.120 As long as you're organized. 0:08:57.760 --> 0:08:59.679 You bring out x amount of people depending on where 0:08:59.679 --> 0:09:02.040 it is you live, it's almost a guarantee that you're 0:09:02.080 --> 0:09:04.880 going to win in the primary. That doesn't always translate 0:09:04.960 --> 0:09:08.840 to general election wins. Sometimes it does, but it doesn't always, 0:09:09.200 --> 0:09:10.360 and they've been. 0:09:10.240 --> 0:09:11.640 Able to take advantage of that. 0:09:11.920 --> 0:09:14.560 You combine in I'm glad you brought up specifically like 0:09:14.600 --> 0:09:19.760 school board races. Those also are just low turnout elections. 0:09:19.800 --> 0:09:23.040 Even in generals, you've got people who vote who have 0:09:23.120 --> 0:09:25.200 no clue who they're voting for. They look, oh, I 0:09:25.320 --> 0:09:27.360 like that name, I have an aunt named Susie, I'll 0:09:27.400 --> 0:09:29.800 vote for her. That's how they tend to vote on 0:09:29.840 --> 0:09:31.920 these races, especially if you don't have any kids, you're 0:09:31.960 --> 0:09:33.920 not paying his close attention to it. 0:09:33.960 --> 0:09:36.600 And if they vote at all, and the teachers exact, 0:09:36.679 --> 0:09:40.600 the teachers Union vote to vote every single time. 0:09:41.400 --> 0:09:44.720 One hundred percent. And that's where the organizational stuff comes 0:09:44.760 --> 0:09:47.280 into play. And that's on us, right, I mean, the 0:09:47.280 --> 0:09:49.280 people who are listening. I guarantee you there's a huge 0:09:49.320 --> 0:09:51.400 number of people who didn't even vote. And if they 0:09:51.400 --> 0:09:53.360 did vote, they didn't vote on every single election. And 0:09:53.400 --> 0:09:55.480 if they did vote on every single election, I guarantee 0:09:55.480 --> 0:09:58.719 they didn't do the enough research on all the candidates before. 0:09:58.440 --> 0:10:01.199 They decided to vote. And that needs to change. 0:10:01.679 --> 0:10:03.839 Well, we got to keep browbeating them in anyway. That's 0:10:03.840 --> 0:10:07.960 what people tune in for, a good solid browbeating. To 0:10:08.000 --> 0:10:10.840 your point about organizing, You remember when Barack Obama first 0:10:10.880 --> 0:10:13.040 came on the scene and we were told he was 0:10:13.040 --> 0:10:15.960 a community organizer, and three quarters of America said, what 0:10:16.040 --> 0:10:19.760 the hell's a community organizer? But they know on the left, 0:10:19.840 --> 0:10:22.480 and you know, the irony is what we're calling for 0:10:22.600 --> 0:10:26.040 is individualists of the world unite. I mean it's just 0:10:26.240 --> 0:10:29.120 not in our nature. But we'd better and quick. 0:10:30.360 --> 0:10:30.760 Yeah. 0:10:30.800 --> 0:10:35.840 Again, we seed power to folks who hold minority viewpoints, 0:10:35.880 --> 0:10:38.880 and yet they have control over the legislatures, they have 0:10:38.880 --> 0:10:42.439 control over the culture because we've allowed them to take over. 0:10:43.160 --> 0:10:46.880 We know when we pull individual topics. Defund police is 0:10:46.880 --> 0:10:50.240 a perfect example of that. Open borders. We know where 0:10:50.280 --> 0:10:54.360 the American people, regardless of their political ideology stand. They 0:10:54.400 --> 0:10:57.440 are against police defunding, they are against open borders, and 0:10:57.520 --> 0:11:00.440 yet they're not voting, and if we can fire them 0:11:00.480 --> 0:11:01.800 to vote. And some of that, by the way, is 0:11:01.840 --> 0:11:04.959 on conservatives in particular, who I think send a bad 0:11:05.000 --> 0:11:08.480 message about elections being stolen. I think systems can be 0:11:08.600 --> 0:11:10.400 rigged to make it difficult to win. 0:11:10.600 --> 0:11:11.480 I hope that view. 0:11:11.760 --> 0:11:14.280 But elections don't need to be stolen if people aren't voting. 0:11:14.640 --> 0:11:17.600 So even if you were to believe that the tallies 0:11:17.640 --> 0:11:21.200 are being manipulated behind the scenes, make it hard for 0:11:21.240 --> 0:11:23.439 them that go ahead and vote and make it more 0:11:23.440 --> 0:11:25.840 difficult for them to steal anything, if that's what you 0:11:25.920 --> 0:11:26.520 truly believe. 0:11:26.640 --> 0:11:27.520 And I don't believe that. 0:11:27.640 --> 0:11:29.439 I think that we are losing because we don't get 0:11:29.440 --> 0:11:31.280 out the vote, and there are too many people on 0:11:31.320 --> 0:11:33.600 our side who have decided to give up because they 0:11:33.679 --> 0:11:36.240 think the system is so corrupt that they can't win elections. 0:11:36.520 --> 0:11:39.559 But you're ganding over the election to the left. 0:11:40.360 --> 0:11:42.280 Jason, I agree with you one hundred percent. I think 0:11:42.280 --> 0:11:46.240 it's an absolutely great point. Perhaps the most corrosive force 0:11:46.320 --> 0:11:50.240 in you know, politics are running a country is a comfort. 0:11:50.280 --> 0:11:54.040 Being comfortable because you stop doing the work. In our generation, 0:11:54.320 --> 0:11:56.760 I'll take the blame. I don't think we did a 0:11:56.760 --> 0:12:00.240 good job of convincing our children how important liberty is 0:12:00.320 --> 0:12:03.760 and limited government and how sacred our rights are because 0:12:03.800 --> 0:12:07.000 we assume we got comfortable. We assumed everybody agreed. But 0:12:07.360 --> 0:12:12.000 keep keep preaching the good word. Jason, love it big fan. 0:12:12.120 --> 0:12:14.280 Jason Rants, host of The Jason Rant Show on Seattle 0:12:14.280 --> 0:12:16.960 Red seven to seventy a m. In the afternoon, where 0:12:16.960 --> 0:12:19.960 we're honored to be on in the morning. Thanks Milling, Jason, 0:12:20.000 --> 0:12:20.640 good to talk to you. 0:12:21.280 --> 0:12:22.560 Thanks for having me appreciate you. 0:12:23.000 --> 0:12:24.600 Oh yeah, absolutely yeah. 0:12:24.679 --> 0:12:26.600 Jason's also I didn't want to kiss his butt too much, 0:12:26.600 --> 0:12:31.000 but he's a terrific writer and appears on Fox News 0:12:31.040 --> 0:12:32.400 semi regularly. 0:12:31.880 --> 0:12:34.280 And that sort of thing. I don't know how he 0:12:34.320 --> 0:12:36.400 finds the time and energy. 0:12:36.600 --> 0:12:41.960 This mess is all I can take, combined with you know, 0:12:42.040 --> 0:12:45.760 family responsibilities and having something like a personal life. 0:12:45.760 --> 0:12:48.240 But anyways, terrific, terrific guy in a hell of a. 0:12:48.280 --> 0:12:52.400 Talent, so so much more to get to. Hope you 0:12:52.440 --> 0:12:54.920 can stay around if you can. As always subscribed to 0:12:54.960 --> 0:12:57.080 the podcast Armstrong and Getty on. 0:12:57.000 --> 0:13:09.440 Demand see Armstrong and Yetti shot. 0:13:16.080 --> 0:13:18.680 But we take a quick look at the situation nan Iran, 0:13:18.800 --> 0:13:21.560 the Gulf of Hormuz, I'm sorry, the Straits of Hormuz 0:13:21.600 --> 0:13:24.120 at Ceau's Kirsimmons on NBC to. 0:13:24.200 --> 0:13:27.480 The stalemate over the Strait of Hamus, Iran demanding what 0:13:27.520 --> 0:13:30.160 would amount of billions of dollars before it will stop 0:13:30.160 --> 0:13:33.600 attacking commercial ships in the strait, and President Trump now 0:13:33.640 --> 0:13:37.160 pushing back, the President pointing to decades of deadly Iranian 0:13:37.200 --> 0:13:40.800 attacks on US soldiers and what the UN calls Iran's 0:13:40.800 --> 0:13:45.160 alarming increase in executions of Iranian protesters, and Iran demanding 0:13:45.200 --> 0:13:48.720 more concessions than the previous ceasefire, including that the US 0:13:48.760 --> 0:13:52.640 military leave the region, the renewed standoff, suggesting the Strait 0:13:52.640 --> 0:13:54.960 of Hamus will not reopen anytime soon. 0:13:55.880 --> 0:14:00.319 So you had the alleged agreement and that's fine, Michael, 0:14:00.320 --> 0:14:02.520 we won't use that other clip you had, the alleged 0:14:02.520 --> 0:14:05.080 agreement that keeps getting you know, put off and rescinded, 0:14:05.160 --> 0:14:08.800 and it's just a joke. And the Iranians come back 0:14:08.840 --> 0:14:11.560 with a yeah, well, we need you to withdraw all 0:14:11.640 --> 0:14:14.199 your forces and pay us billions of dollars in reparations 0:14:14.200 --> 0:14:17.680 and never attack us again, and never attack our proxies again, 0:14:18.120 --> 0:14:21.680 and we want to air Force one and utah, I mean, 0:14:21.760 --> 0:14:27.600 just making hilarious demands. And Trump responded yesterday with yeah, well, 0:14:27.640 --> 0:14:30.960 we want reparations for every soldier you've killed, all the 0:14:31.040 --> 0:14:34.120 damage all your proxies have done, all the attacks through 0:14:34.160 --> 0:14:37.040 the years, starting with the embassy in nineteen seventy nine. 0:14:37.200 --> 0:14:39.760 And as a professional wise ass I appreciate the wise 0:14:39.760 --> 0:14:42.960 assory of it, but it's really not getting us anywhere 0:14:42.960 --> 0:14:47.200 except signaling to them that they can f right off. However, 0:14:47.520 --> 0:14:49.520 that leaves us where we were yesterday. I think a 0:14:49.680 --> 0:14:52.440 handful of headlines real quickly to give you a description 0:14:52.440 --> 0:14:57.200 of where we are. The journal says Gulf States accept 0:14:57.240 --> 0:14:59.920 a new normal and horm moves, Iran is in control. 0:15:00.280 --> 0:15:03.280 Oil and gas exporters dislike the emerging deal to reopen 0:15:03.280 --> 0:15:07.680 the waterway, but see it as the least bad option version. 0:15:07.680 --> 0:15:10.240 Golf energy producers are concluding that Iran's control over the 0:15:10.280 --> 0:15:12.720 Strait of Hormus will become permanent, disrupting their oil and 0:15:12.760 --> 0:15:16.880 gas exports and global energy supplies indefinitely. The problem is, 0:15:16.880 --> 0:15:20.640 they worded, the alternative going back to war would be worse. 0:15:22.360 --> 0:15:25.280 That's true unless the US and the Gulf states in 0:15:25.320 --> 0:15:33.840 the world decided the Islamist supremacist violence, terror exporting lunatics 0:15:33.880 --> 0:15:36.400 of Iran need to be defeated once and for all, 0:15:36.440 --> 0:15:38.960 and I don't think I see that well. Around the 0:15:39.040 --> 0:15:46.880 National Review Rights, Iran is rewiring its proxy network. They 0:15:46.920 --> 0:15:53.479 mentioned that the IRGC goons are going out into the 0:15:53.520 --> 0:15:57.920 axis of resistance, the Gulf States, you know, just all 0:15:57.960 --> 0:16:04.440 over the place, Lebanon, Iraq, Yemen, wherever their proxies ooch about. 0:16:04.880 --> 0:16:06.480 You know, Hamas is certainly on that list. 0:16:07.040 --> 0:16:12.480 And they're teaching them new methods of organization and fighting 0:16:12.680 --> 0:16:16.760 and de set. Essentially, they're teaching them how to organize 0:16:16.960 --> 0:16:22.680 into smaller, decentralized cells outside the traditional militia hierarchies that 0:16:22.720 --> 0:16:26.280 they've always used to make the network more resilient and 0:16:26.360 --> 0:16:32.800 less vulnerable to decapitation strikes. They're describing it as strategic 0:16:32.840 --> 0:16:35.560 integration in Iran. So they're trying to rewire because they 0:16:35.600 --> 0:16:39.120 want to continue to fight for Islamic supremacy all over 0:16:39.160 --> 0:16:42.840 the region and all over the globe, and harden themselves 0:16:42.840 --> 0:16:45.000 against the ability of the West to fight against them. 0:16:45.480 --> 0:16:48.440 Another headline Iran's mysterious ruler signal is a hard line 0:16:48.440 --> 0:16:52.320 on Trump with new leadership. Evidently, according to our intelligence guys, 0:16:52.640 --> 0:16:56.400 weird Beard Junior is still alive, badly injured, but he's 0:16:56.440 --> 0:17:01.640 still wasting oxygen by breathing. But he has to the 0:17:01.680 --> 0:17:08.040 extent that he's in charge. He has appointed absolute murderous 0:17:08.040 --> 0:17:13.160 hard asses in domestic security. So if anybody so much 0:17:13.200 --> 0:17:15.879 as suggests, hey, the US has kind of a point, 0:17:16.119 --> 0:17:19.840 you will get tortured to death. They've gone harder, hardcore 0:17:20.520 --> 0:17:24.760 than the folks that machine gun dollar citizens in the streets. 0:17:24.760 --> 0:17:27.600 And finally, Trump's blockade keeps the economic pressure on Iran. 0:17:27.720 --> 0:17:30.400 That appears to be our strategy. We're going to squeeze 0:17:30.400 --> 0:17:33.120 them economically till they give. But will they give? 0:17:33.520 --> 0:17:40.960 Armstrong and Getty thee Armstrong and Getty Show. 0:17:43.520 --> 0:17:44.880 Sad news from California. 0:17:45.040 --> 0:17:48.320 Jackie of the beloved bald eagle duo Jackie in Shadow, 0:17:48.359 --> 0:17:51.080 watched by millions on the Big Bear live feed, died 0:17:51.200 --> 0:17:54.160 about three weeks after being attacked by two other bald 0:17:54.200 --> 0:17:57.840 eagles and taken to a rehab facility. She raised six 0:17:57.920 --> 0:18:00.800 eaglets over the years and was believed to be fourteen 0:18:00.880 --> 0:18:01.440 years old. 0:18:03.040 --> 0:18:05.360 First of all, eagles don't have names. 0:18:06.480 --> 0:18:10.720 Secondly, if that's what happens in nature, that's what happens 0:18:10.760 --> 0:18:16.240 in nature. I could blame California being soft on crime 0:18:16.760 --> 0:18:18.240 for this horrific crime. 0:18:18.280 --> 0:18:20.399 But it was interesting. Katie was telling us. 0:18:20.440 --> 0:18:22.800 I think it was off the air yesterday that the 0:18:22.920 --> 0:18:26.440 vet center where the eagle was being cared for HM 0:18:27.280 --> 0:18:30.880 was just so inundated by calls and people showing up 0:18:30.960 --> 0:18:32.359 that they could barely do their thing. 0:18:32.800 --> 0:18:35.160 Yeah, the people were showing up, not only at the center, 0:18:35.200 --> 0:18:37.479 but at the care people that were taking care of 0:18:37.480 --> 0:18:41.679 their homes. Somehow they found there are there, you know, 0:18:42.119 --> 0:18:42.879 their residents. 0:18:43.520 --> 0:18:44.160 This whole thing. 0:18:44.240 --> 0:18:46.800 I mean, it's it's sad, and I get it, but 0:18:46.880 --> 0:18:48.960 like you said, nature took its. 0:18:48.760 --> 0:18:49.840 Course, Jackie. 0:18:49.920 --> 0:18:52.000 You here, where's Jackie? Jeez? 0:18:52.520 --> 0:18:59.160 Again? Mister president. Coincidentally, Jackie has passed. Ah yeah, yeah, yeah, 0:18:59.240 --> 0:19:02.080 I don't. I guess we need the softhearted in the 0:19:02.359 --> 0:19:05.240 overly emotional in humanity. I believe in balance and that 0:19:05.280 --> 0:19:08.800 sort of thing. But look, there is no crueler bitch 0:19:08.840 --> 0:19:14.600 on earth than Mother Nature. Pardon my frank terminology A 0:19:14.680 --> 0:19:17.720 and B. While there aren't that many bald eagles in 0:19:19.040 --> 0:19:20.160 where was Jackie? 0:19:20.520 --> 0:19:24.159 Big bear? Big bear? Okay? Beautiful, yeah, beautiful part of 0:19:24.160 --> 0:19:27.360 southern California. I've just been. 0:19:28.040 --> 0:19:31.159 I'm just back from Alaska, where I can report that 0:19:31.240 --> 0:19:32.200 they're like crows. 0:19:32.680 --> 0:19:35.159 There are a lot of them, a hell of a 0:19:35.160 --> 0:19:35.840 lot of them. 0:19:36.240 --> 0:19:39.680 So if eagles did what eagles do and Jackie's dead, 0:19:39.800 --> 0:19:40.760 that's just the way it goes. 0:19:40.800 --> 0:19:46.760 I let the mighty eagles again, I think you missed 0:19:46.800 --> 0:19:48.200 the lead. The eagle is dead. 0:19:48.800 --> 0:19:55.480 So I'm sure i'll get angry emails about how insensitive 0:19:55.520 --> 0:19:57.840 I am. No, I just I like nature and I 0:19:57.960 --> 0:20:01.879 understand human beings don't get to tell nature how to 0:20:01.960 --> 0:20:06.760 be nature. Yeah, so I'm not gonna dwell on this, 0:20:06.880 --> 0:20:14.040 I promise. The whole WNBA controversy that really heated up 0:20:14.640 --> 0:20:19.280 when this DJNA is at her name dj Na Carrington 0:20:20.440 --> 0:20:23.960 Pole axed Sophie Cunningham in the head and it was 0:20:24.000 --> 0:20:27.240 a flagrant too foul as they say in the basketball business, 0:20:27.240 --> 0:20:30.000 which meant she got ejected. And then she went to 0:20:30.040 --> 0:20:34.840 the locker room, Miss Carrington, and and messaged out on 0:20:34.920 --> 0:20:41.760 her app of choice hashtag white privilege, hashtag Indiana anyway, 0:20:42.560 --> 0:20:44.480 and everybody's like, what the hell are you talking about. 0:20:44.520 --> 0:20:47.320 You practically killed this woman and you got ejected. It 0:20:47.320 --> 0:20:48.320 has nothing to do with race. 0:20:48.359 --> 0:20:52.520 Well, she has broken her silence, Katie. Oh good, she. 0:20:52.520 --> 0:20:56.440 Said, quote, I already spoke with people who potentially will 0:20:56.440 --> 0:20:59.359 have the agency to create the change that I'm hoping 0:20:59.440 --> 0:21:02.520 comes about out from not just this incident, but ones 0:21:02.560 --> 0:21:04.760 in the past that are obviously going to be coming 0:21:04.840 --> 0:21:09.040 up in the future probably. Okay, so you talk to 0:21:09.080 --> 0:21:15.439 a bunch of awoke, you know, black supremacist, white hating 0:21:15.520 --> 0:21:18.639 people who convinced you that, yes, we're we're working to 0:21:18.720 --> 0:21:23.600 tear down the patriarchy, blah blah blah. Okay, great, oh 0:21:23.720 --> 0:21:26.560 my god, you professional racists. And then this one more, 0:21:28.200 --> 0:21:30.160 one more note on the WNBA, just because I thought 0:21:30.200 --> 0:21:34.080 this was really good writing. All it took to collapse 0:21:34.119 --> 0:21:37.720 an entire sect of gender ideology was two alpha males 0:21:37.720 --> 0:21:40.760 declaring they identify as women and entering the WNBA draft. 0:21:40.840 --> 0:21:42.840 I'm going to show you the genius of what they did. 0:21:43.160 --> 0:21:45.720 The two ex NBA players, Enis Canner Freedom and Royce 0:21:45.760 --> 0:21:49.040 White didn't argue against the absurd premise that gender is fluid. 0:21:49.280 --> 0:21:51.800 That's a losing play. The better play is to enter 0:21:51.840 --> 0:21:53.960 the illusion and destroy it by taking the illusion to 0:21:53.960 --> 0:21:56.640 the logical extreme. So that's exactly what they did. They 0:21:56.640 --> 0:21:58.720 embraced the premise that gender is fluid and took it 0:21:58.720 --> 0:22:02.240 to the logical extreme, laring for the WNBA draft. Now 0:22:02.240 --> 0:22:04.400 they are forcing liberals to face the absurdity of their 0:22:04.400 --> 0:22:07.600 own ideology. Gender ideology's core claim is that sex is 0:22:07.600 --> 0:22:11.720 irrelevant and identity is sovereign. Trans women are women. Self 0:22:11.760 --> 0:22:15.120 id is enough. Now the WNBA, which is in many 0:22:15.160 --> 0:22:19.080 ways a major liberal institution, faces a big dilemma. They 0:22:19.080 --> 0:22:21.439 have to either a allow the two to enter the 0:22:21.520 --> 0:22:25.320 WNBA draft and admit women is just a feeling and 0:22:25.400 --> 0:22:28.320 this is absurd and will destroy the product. It will 0:22:28.359 --> 0:22:31.199 just be another men's league. Or b draw line and 0:22:31.240 --> 0:22:35.399
