WEBVTT - It's A Dirty Dish Storage Box 0:00:09.960 --> 0:00:15.240 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:15.320 --> 0:00:19.960 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Show, Katty Armstrong and 0:00:20.079 --> 0:00:36.960 Jet and Key Arms get Why from studio see Senior. Wow, 0:00:37.080 --> 0:00:39.599 it's a Columbus day off, so it's already Wednesday. We've 0:00:39.600 --> 0:00:43.800 got pamelon studio, which is disgusting but kind of a 0:00:43.880 --> 0:00:47.320 cool little gumma. Who else has the kamelon studio? Right? Nobody? 0:00:49.280 --> 0:00:51.599 Welcome to the Armstrong and Getty Show today, where you're 0:00:51.640 --> 0:00:54.720 under the tutelage of our general manager. Tempted to go 0:00:54.880 --> 0:00:58.200 with season ping because of the trade tensions. He got 0:00:58.240 --> 0:01:02.080 a strong nominee. Is that some Chinese guy? Bad Chinese guy? Yeah, 0:01:02.080 --> 0:01:04.440 he runs the place. Oh, I know what's on my 0:01:04.560 --> 0:01:08.720 mind is who's we? The word we? Who's we? Who 0:01:08.880 --> 0:01:11.479 is we? Maybe we as our general manager? Who define 0:01:11.560 --> 0:01:14.880 we for me? Wow? Help me out with this. President 0:01:14.920 --> 0:01:17.440 of the United States said, hamas will disarm or we 0:01:17.600 --> 0:01:24.440 will disarm them? Who's we? Who is we? Violently? Violently 0:01:24.520 --> 0:01:28.520 if necessary? He said, who do you think we is? Well? 0:01:28.560 --> 0:01:32.560 And they're not. They are one not going to disarm 0:01:33.480 --> 0:01:36.520 as their recent actions have proven. Who's that rough shod 0:01:36.720 --> 0:01:39.800 through we? Got some We've got some serious pronoun problems. 0:01:39.880 --> 0:01:43.840 My pronoun is he he he him. But uh, we 0:01:43.959 --> 0:01:45.680 got going to take a while if we have to 0:01:45.720 --> 0:01:47.960 break down the grammar of every sentence. Well, who's they 0:01:48.120 --> 0:01:50.760 I mean, do you mean like every single last dead 0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:52.760 ender or do you mean like just the bulk of 0:01:52.800 --> 0:01:57.080 the organization? Yeah, disarmed? The bulk of the organization's not 0:01:57.120 --> 0:02:01.520 going to disarm, right, Yeah, the military the part that matters. 0:02:02.440 --> 0:02:05.280 The fat rich guys and cutter don't matter. But the 0:02:05.680 --> 0:02:08.240 fighters on the ground, they absolutely will not disarm. They 0:02:08.280 --> 0:02:10.600 are trying to consolidate power as quickly as they can 0:02:10.960 --> 0:02:13.600 and show they are still in charge. They're rounding people up, 0:02:13.720 --> 0:02:17.400 executing them. It's fights in the streets. Well do you 0:02:17.480 --> 0:02:20.440 are for you to be satisfied, and it's all about 0:02:20.520 --> 0:02:22.919 whether or not Joe getting satisfied with right peace deal 0:02:23.400 --> 0:02:25.359 for you to be satisfied, does every dead ender have 0:02:25.440 --> 0:02:27.519 to be disarmed? Because I've just been thinking, well, you know, 0:02:27.639 --> 0:02:31.680 the bulk of them, like the you know, any organized 0:02:32.200 --> 0:02:35.359 group of them, Like I keep using the example of 0:02:35.480 --> 0:02:39.840 the Civil War. If you got random Confederates out there 0:02:39.880 --> 0:02:41.880 in the woods who still want to fight on, that's 0:02:41.960 --> 0:02:45.400 not the same as like organized militias led by a 0:02:45.680 --> 0:02:51.440 general somewhere. Right. Yeah, it's there's kind of a spectrum of, uh, 0:02:51.840 --> 0:02:54.720 you know, how well armed are they, how well organized 0:02:54.720 --> 0:02:57.280 are they, how ambitious are they? And once you get 0:02:57.360 --> 0:02:59.320 past a certain point in the spectrum, it's no longer 0:02:59.400 --> 0:03:02.079 a military problem. It's a policing problem. They're more like 0:03:02.160 --> 0:03:05.519 a violent gang. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly at that point, Yeah, 0:03:05.560 --> 0:03:08.320 you can have a functioning society. Okay, so I just 0:03:08.480 --> 0:03:12.359 you've defined they, Then who's we? What sentence are we 0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:15.840 talking about? Oh? Back to your who's way? The coalition 0:03:15.960 --> 0:03:20.880 of the welling? Well, does that include the United States? Well? See, 0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:23.239 that's the tricky part, and that's why the Trump Plan, 0:03:24.400 --> 0:03:27.120 while a great breakthrough, has got a rocky road ahead. 0:03:27.880 --> 0:03:30.919 Initially it's got to be Israel. Well, I think guys 0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:35.680 have been whooping ass already because there's no multi country 0:03:36.000 --> 0:03:39.200 Commission of Peace in place yet. I was just reading 0:03:39.280 --> 0:03:41.400 from the newsletter I read from every day from Mark 0:03:41.440 --> 0:03:43.400 Alpern and the wide world of news. Is there going 0:03:43.480 --> 0:03:46.080 to be a genuine peacekeeping force or not, which you 0:03:46.240 --> 0:03:49.800 just mentioned, Who will be in it? Under what authority 0:03:50.280 --> 0:03:53.760 and under what terms of engagement hard but essential questions. 0:03:54.200 --> 0:03:58.200 I would say, yeah, and they best realize whoever's in 0:03:58.280 --> 0:04:00.840 that force, they're there to fight. It's not going to 0:04:00.880 --> 0:04:04.520 be like, you know, the passive, stupid, useless un observers 0:04:04.840 --> 0:04:08.800 who has below is building armaments one hundred yards from 0:04:08.840 --> 0:04:11.840 their lookout towers. No, they're going to be there to 0:04:11.920 --> 0:04:15.440 fight because Hamas again, by the one hundred thousands, I 0:04:15.440 --> 0:04:16.800 don't know, they're not going to give up their arms. 0:04:16.800 --> 0:04:19.560 They're going to fight until they're dead. I just feel 0:04:19.600 --> 0:04:21.640 like if Barack Obama or Joe Biden had said we 0:04:21.760 --> 0:04:25.600 will disarm them, the part of the Fox crowd would 0:04:25.640 --> 0:04:29.400 be up at arms. If you'll pardon the expression over 0:04:29.880 --> 0:04:33.280 oh so more soldiers in the Middle East fighting other 0:04:33.320 --> 0:04:38.800 people's wars and you said we right right, Well, it 0:04:39.240 --> 0:04:43.120 absolutely deserves clarification. Your point is well taken, and we 0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:46.120 will disarm them, perhaps violently if necessary. Okay, well that's 0:04:46.120 --> 0:04:49.559 a heck of a thing. Perhaps Trump is speaking French, 0:04:49.760 --> 0:04:54.240 we is, and yes, yes, will disarm them. They probably not. 0:04:54.360 --> 0:05:00.600 They've still got twenty one bodies or twenty two. Uh. 0:05:01.160 --> 0:05:03.960 One of the bodies that Hamas turned over turned out 0:05:04.000 --> 0:05:06.680 to not be one of the hostages. My guess would 0:05:06.720 --> 0:05:09.160 be Hamas doesn't have It's not like they've got a 0:05:09.360 --> 0:05:16.080 careful cataloging of bodies system. One, they don't care. Two 0:05:16.160 --> 0:05:18.160 they've been getting the but Jesus bombed out of them 0:05:18.160 --> 0:05:21.000 for two years and moving from hole to hole. Right, 0:05:21.400 --> 0:05:23.000 they didn't care in the first place. So they got 0:05:23.000 --> 0:05:26.440 all kinds of bodies of Palestinians and Israelis from this 0:05:26.560 --> 0:05:29.560 time around and anybody else they've snatched over the many decades. 0:05:29.600 --> 0:05:32.400 They got all kinds of body parts, right, Yeah, I 0:05:32.440 --> 0:05:34.919 would agree. So Egypt's going to go in there. Egypt 0:05:35.000 --> 0:05:37.440 just offered to go in there and help them find bodies. 0:05:37.720 --> 0:05:41.280 What's that process going to be like twenty two those 0:05:41.360 --> 0:05:44.320 twenty two What percentage of those twenty two are ever 0:05:44.440 --> 0:05:46.480 going to be found and identified and brought back? I'd 0:05:46.520 --> 0:05:49.719 be surprised if it's half Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah, 0:05:49.800 --> 0:05:55.880 if five are, I would be pleasantly surprised. Yeah crazy, yeah. Anyway, 0:05:55.920 --> 0:05:58.200 So why were you why were you considering making Jijing 0:05:58.320 --> 0:06:06.400 ping the general man? The trade war preposturing, the pregaming 0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:09.160 is getting really intense, with Trump announcing one hundred percent 0:06:09.240 --> 0:06:12.600 tariff chesion being saying you can't have any rare earth minerals, 0:06:13.040 --> 0:06:15.920 and the threats are going back and forth, hot and heavy. 0:06:16.240 --> 0:06:20.920 There's you mentioned yesterday how weird this is to have 0:06:21.000 --> 0:06:24.280 an enemy that you're so economically tied into, Like we 0:06:24.360 --> 0:06:27.200 weren't economically tied into the Soviet Union or them us. 0:06:27.839 --> 0:06:30.960 It's just yeah, not a bit. But with China, as 0:06:31.000 --> 0:06:33.560 we all know, we're very tied in to the fact that, 0:06:33.800 --> 0:06:35.960 like at the time COVID hit, we got all of 0:06:36.040 --> 0:06:38.200 our drugs from there, and all our rare earth minerals 0:06:38.240 --> 0:06:40.800 and all every piece of thing you buy at the 0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:43.640 store or order on Amazon comes from China. That's not 0:06:43.760 --> 0:06:45.000 the way it was when we were at war with 0:06:45.080 --> 0:06:47.800 the Soviet Union. To that point, there is an interesting 0:06:47.880 --> 0:06:50.919 story in the Financial Times today a couple of Brits 0:06:51.000 --> 0:06:53.880 got caught spying for China. 0:06:54.720 --> 0:06:54.880 Mm. 0:06:55.400 --> 0:06:57.640 They're are British dudes with British names. It got caught 0:06:57.680 --> 0:07:02.880 spine for China, and that got dismayed because the government 0:07:03.160 --> 0:07:07.240 was unwilling to say that they were spying on behalf 0:07:07.279 --> 0:07:09.560 of an enemy. They didn't want to call China an 0:07:09.760 --> 0:07:13.640 enemy right of Great Britain. And you know that that's 0:07:14.840 --> 0:07:17.600 to the point you were talking about yesterday. They don't 0:07:17.640 --> 0:07:20.240 want to call China an enemy or the enemy because 0:07:21.120 --> 0:07:25.080 of all our economic tize. Yeah, a labor the Labor 0:07:25.160 --> 0:07:28.600 secretary sabotaged the trial of two alleged spies by refusing 0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:32.320 to brand China an enemy. The Telegraph was reporting about 0:07:32.320 --> 0:07:36.000 a week ago they were accused of passing information about 0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:38.560 the government's foreign policy to a high ranking member of 0:07:38.600 --> 0:07:42.800 the Chinese government, and Keers Starmer's spokesman said it was 0:07:42.920 --> 0:07:46.960 extremely disappointing and gravely concerning that they wouldn't face trial. 0:07:47.080 --> 0:07:49.960 But then it turns out the government with drew as 0:07:50.040 --> 0:07:52.760 star witness who had been tasked with testifying the China 0:07:52.840 --> 0:07:55.280 was an enemy of the UK, said no, we're not 0:07:55.360 --> 0:07:56.800 going to We don't want to say that out loud. 0:07:57.040 --> 0:07:59.760 If major Western the spy go free. Yeah, if major 0:07:59.800 --> 0:08:02.240 were stern powers aren't willing to call China an enemy 0:08:03.400 --> 0:08:11.200 but enemy early, that's a problem. That's something right, And 0:08:11.520 --> 0:08:13.760 the fact that they couldn't come up with a way 0:08:13.840 --> 0:08:18.040 to verbally tap dance around say well, we are friends 0:08:18.120 --> 0:08:22.400 and work with China in many different ways, but yes, 0:08:22.520 --> 0:08:26.120 by the strict definition of foreign policy, you know, Section 0:08:26.320 --> 0:08:29.960 one thirty three point eight. Yes, China is in this 0:08:30.200 --> 0:08:35.280 instance an enemy, perhaps an unfortunate word. I mean, you 0:08:35.320 --> 0:08:39.600 could fall all over yourself bowing and scraping, but still 0:08:39.679 --> 0:08:43.360 prosecuting spies. But they are so afraid of China they didn't. 0:08:43.600 --> 0:08:48.800 How shocking is that much different topic. My dishwasher, it's 0:08:48.880 --> 0:08:51.840 not really mine, I live in a rental, doesn't do anything, 0:08:52.080 --> 0:08:55.040 you know. And Trump's always complaining about modern shower heads 0:08:55.040 --> 0:08:58.920 and dishwashers and washing machines because of the green regulations. 0:08:59.400 --> 0:09:02.520 The dishwasher doesn't do anything unless you wash the dishes 0:09:02.600 --> 0:09:08.680 by hand almost completely. You haven't accomplished anything. A dishwasher 0:09:09.120 --> 0:09:12.680 that washes no dishes is not a dishwak. I appear 0:09:12.720 --> 0:09:16.439 to be the dishwasher. Yes, it is a box. It 0:09:16.559 --> 0:09:19.520 is a dirty dish storage box. It runs for like 0:09:19.600 --> 0:09:22.480 an hour to try to save energy somehow, and that 0:09:22.559 --> 0:09:23.640 doesn't really do anything. 0:09:24.040 --> 0:09:24.360 I know. 0:09:24.600 --> 0:09:27.559 It's very frustrating. Got some great stuff on the whole 0:09:28.400 --> 0:09:32.920 climate change Datebockle, and how phony it is, and how 0:09:33.080 --> 0:09:35.959 the entire world, the Western world anyway, is backtracking. Even 0:09:36.040 --> 0:09:39.040 China is from electric vehicles because it just doesn't make sense. 0:09:39.120 --> 0:09:41.760 But so did Trump roll back regulations on that can 0:09:41.840 --> 0:09:44.839 maytag now make a dishwasher like they used to make them, like, 0:09:44.960 --> 0:09:47.480 blast the crap out of them, Blast the crap out 0:09:47.559 --> 0:09:52.440 of your dishes, boiling hot water, powerful chemicals. Right, don't 0:09:52.920 --> 0:09:55.840 you open it up? Your dish has been completely dissolved 0:09:56.480 --> 0:10:00.400 to gear it back a little bit. I don't know that, 0:10:00.640 --> 0:10:03.360 I hope so Greta's unhappy about our disch. You washed 0:10:03.360 --> 0:10:06.160 your own dishes, Greta, but I want a dishwasher and 0:10:06.360 --> 0:10:09.440 wash your dishes. Blah blah blah blah blah blah. Okay, 0:10:09.520 --> 0:10:13.520 let's start the show officially. I'm Rom, I'm Jack Armstrong, 0:10:13.600 --> 0:10:15.360 He's Joe Getty on this and how did they already 0:10:15.400 --> 0:10:18.199 get to be Wednesday Houp Day, October fifteenth to R 0:10:18.240 --> 0:10:20.800 twenty twenty five, wormstrong and getting and we approve of 0:10:20.840 --> 0:10:24.720 this program R right, camel, Let's begin the show officially 0:10:24.800 --> 0:10:26.840 now according to FCC rules that well, the good news 0:10:26.920 --> 0:10:28.559 is with the piece in the Middle East, the camel 0:10:28.679 --> 0:10:31.760 rental cost has gone down a lot. So anyway, here 0:10:31.840 --> 0:10:33.720 comes the show. We start at Mark today. 0:10:33.800 --> 0:10:37.760 We're here to honor and remember a fearless warrior for liberty, 0:10:37.960 --> 0:10:43.000 beloved leader who galvanized the next generation, like nobody I've 0:10:43.080 --> 0:10:46.600 ever seen before, entering his name forever into the eternal 0:10:46.720 --> 0:10:49.280 roster of true American heroes. 0:10:49.320 --> 0:10:53.280 He's a true American hero, an amazing person, way way 0:10:53.800 --> 0:11:02.560 beyond his years. Chode's listening to Fox as a Charlie 0:11:02.600 --> 0:11:07.600 Kirk was given posthumously the American Medal of Freedom, Medal 0:11:07.679 --> 0:11:09.840 of Honor, Medal of Honor. I get the mixed Metal 0:11:09.880 --> 0:11:12.880 of Freedom, right yeah, uh yeah, Medal of Honor is 0:11:12.920 --> 0:11:16.800 what you're like your warriors get right in a battle. 0:11:17.160 --> 0:11:19.439 Metal of Freedom and uh, it was a nice ceremony 0:11:19.440 --> 0:11:21.240 and everything like that. And as listening to Fox, and 0:11:21.360 --> 0:11:24.439 I've seen a variety of stats that church attendance is 0:11:24.520 --> 0:11:29.000 up quite a bit, particularly among the young, Baptisms are 0:11:29.040 --> 0:11:32.520 way up, people getting baptized, and there's more Christian music 0:11:32.920 --> 0:11:35.760 making it on to the charts than previously that I 0:11:35.800 --> 0:11:38.000 don't I can't verify any of those things, but I've 0:11:38.040 --> 0:11:43.200 seen various stats pointing that direction. Hmm. Yeah, I've seen 0:11:43.240 --> 0:11:45.120 that denied in the liberal media. But I didn't find 0:11:45.160 --> 0:11:47.880 the case they made very convincing. They're citing statistics that 0:11:48.040 --> 0:11:51.160 kind of didn't apply. It's funny that they would go 0:11:51.200 --> 0:11:55.960 to the trouble to deny that because the why does 0:11:56.000 --> 0:11:59.920 that bother you? Yeah, it's what if it's not true? 0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:02.720 So what why don't you report on actual news? Yeah? Exactly, 0:12:03.840 --> 0:12:06.679 report on actual news, which Katie has the headlines of 0:12:06.760 --> 0:12:07.960 coming up in a little bit. And then we got 0:12:08.000 --> 0:12:09.520 more news of the day that we want to get to. 0:12:12.320 --> 0:12:18.079 The ongoing crisis that is Alec Baldwin crashing his Range Rover. 0:12:18.240 --> 0:12:23.840 The video came out yesterday. Please. I think he's an 0:12:23.920 --> 0:12:27.880 old fat man ran into a tree, just driving too fast, 0:12:27.960 --> 0:12:31.359 looking at his phone to open new tree and story.

It's the 0:12:53.640 --> 0:12:56.839 lead story with Katie Green and Katie all right, starting Katie, 0:12:56.880 --> 0:13:00.199 I do have this question for you. Okay, what the 0:13:00.280 --> 0:13:04.000 ducks say when he bought chapstick? Just put it on 0:13:04.080 --> 0:13:09.840 my bill. I'm loving this new feature. 0:13:10.000 --> 0:13:16.520 Oh boy, all right, it's more fun than anything. 0:13:16.559 --> 0:13:18.440 I'm gonna have to say here, NBC. 0:13:19.120 --> 0:13:22.839 Body that Hamas returned to Israel is not one of 0:13:22.920 --> 0:13:25.280 the hostages according to the idea. 0:13:25.480 --> 0:13:28.680 Now, like I said, the idea that Hamas was carefully 0:13:28.800 --> 0:13:34.120 cataloging each deceased body and saving it with the name 0:13:34.280 --> 0:13:36.079 and knows exactly where it is and it's in the 0:13:36.120 --> 0:13:41.640 you know, climate controlled vault.

I will never say 0:13:47.000 --> 0:13:50.320 anything that sounds anything like defending Hamas. But in this case, 0:13:51.000 --> 0:13:52.640 if they say, yeah, we don't know where they are, 0:13:53.120 --> 0:13:54.400 I think that's probably true. 0:13:55.760 --> 0:14:00.560 From CBS News, Supreme Court turns away parental rights dispute 0:14:00.679 --> 0:14:02.640 brought on by Colorado families. 0:14:02.760 --> 0:14:05.280 We got to talk about this coming up maybe next segment. 0:14:06.200 --> 0:14:08.400 What's going on there? Joe will tell us because Joe 0:14:08.520 --> 0:14:12.439 almost went to law school. That's right, very close.

Yeah, we've got 0:14:46.840 --> 0:14:48.000 some details coming up on that. 0:14:49.920 --> 0:14:55.800 From Fox News, Katie Porter says she regrets viral outbursts 0:14:55.960 --> 0:14:56.800 at reporters. 0:14:57.320 --> 0:15:00.080 Yeah, we need to get into her apology video that 0:15:00.200 --> 0:15:05.520 she put out yesterday. What people when they're a holes, 0:15:05.560 --> 0:15:07.840 they like to go with I don't suffer fools, you 0:15:07.920 --> 0:15:11.960 know that whole thing. Yeah, whatever, Yeah, she's just a 0:15:12.080 --> 0:15:13.520 horrible person. Yeah, there's that. 0:15:15.120 --> 0:15:20.480 From the New York Post, Horrifying images show how flesh 0:15:20.640 --> 0:15:26.760 eating quote zombie drug mammifies addicts and causes their limbs 0:15:26.920 --> 0:15:28.520 to auto amputate. 0:15:29.200 --> 0:15:35.640 Whoa wow, whoa wow wow.

Oh you gotta try this 0:15:40.640 --> 0:15:42.200 new drug. It gives you a heck of a buzz 0:15:42.240 --> 0:15:45.360 and your limbs will auto amputate. It's that it's that 0:15:45.560 --> 0:15:49.480 shrank stuff. Oh my god, So your arms legs say 0:15:49.600 --> 0:15:52.880 I want out of here. I'm out of here. Bye bye, 0:15:53.600 --> 0:15:54.080 oh wow. 0:15:55.520 --> 0:16:00.640 From the Hill Altman says Chat GPT will soon allow 0:16:01.000 --> 0:16:02.720 erotica for adults. 0:16:03.520 --> 0:16:05.600 Okay, yeah, I noticed that. So I was going to 0:16:05.640 --> 0:16:07.200 talk about GROC and some of the fun we are 0:16:07.200 --> 0:16:09.720 happening with Groc yesterday, making videos and some of the 0:16:09.760 --> 0:16:12.000 stuff that it wouldn't do, but Chat and GPT is 0:16:12.040 --> 0:16:14.160 saying it will do it soon. Okay. 0:16:16.280 --> 0:16:22.640 From the Independent, Tech prankster sends fifty Waymo driverless taxis 0:16:23.000 --> 0:16:25.640 to dead end street in San Francisco. 0:16:26.000 --> 0:16:27.480 Oh boy, And then what do you do when you're 0:16:27.520 --> 0:16:28.840 in the waimo? You just sit there at the dead 0:16:28.960 --> 0:16:32.600 end street and some point get out.

Then that fits 0:16:48.800 --> 0:16:50.640 in with that stat perfectly, all right. 0:16:52.280 --> 0:16:57.680 And from the Babylon Bee, Trump retaliates for Peace Prize 0:16:57.760 --> 0:17:01.840 snub with picture of the No Belt Committee wearing sombreros. 0:17:03.400 --> 0:17:05.719 Uh, that's why he's gonna do everybody. Now, if he's 0:17:05.760 --> 0:17:07.400 angry that he puts you in a sombrero in a muscle, 0:17:07.720 --> 0:17:12.320 here's a sombrero. The whole trade war between China and 0:17:12.320 --> 0:17:14.960 the United States is not getting near the attention that 0:17:15.119 --> 0:17:18.000 it should. The two biggest economies in the world are 0:17:18.080 --> 0:17:20.879 going at it, and because of the Middle East stuff 0:17:20.920 --> 0:17:22.600 and everything like that, it's been ignored. But we'll get 0:17:22.640 --> 0:17:24.560 into that among other things on the ways to stay here. 0:17:25.840 --> 0:17:26.960 Armstrong and Getty. 0:17:27.920 --> 0:17:32.320 Also attending the event Argentina's President Javier Milai, who was 0:17:32.400 --> 0:17:34.760 at the White House today to talk tariffs and a 0:17:34.840 --> 0:17:38.520 twenty billion dollar currency swap to help stabilize the cash 0:17:38.560 --> 0:17:43.280 strapped country's volatile financial markets ahead of critical elections. 0:17:43.720 --> 0:17:46.120 If he loses, we are not going to be generous 0:17:46.160 --> 0:17:46.960 with Argentina. 0:17:47.880 --> 0:17:52.359 Uh, that is not the clip I wanted. Okay, they're mislabeled, 0:17:52.359 --> 0:17:54.960 I guess because we're gonna talk about China, China trying 0:17:55.000 --> 0:17:57.960 to drive a wedge with soybeans and other things with 0:17:58.040 --> 0:17:59.800 this whole trade war thing that we got going on. 0:18:00.280 --> 0:18:03.000 And I came across this other headline that just landed 0:18:03.040 --> 0:18:07.520 from the Washington Times, China's new export export controls on 0:18:07.680 --> 0:18:10.920 rare earth minerals that they announced last week and products 0:18:10.960 --> 0:18:14.000 made from them reflect a bid to dominate world markets 0:18:14.119 --> 0:18:17.640 for the strategic material since the nineteen nineties, and they're 0:18:17.760 --> 0:18:19.680 using it in their trade war. And then the story 0:18:19.720 --> 0:18:21.520 that we did not hear China trying to drive a 0:18:21.560 --> 0:18:25.360 wedge over soy beans, which is an economic hostile act. 0:18:25.600 --> 0:18:29.399 Also Trump announcing after the Rare Earth deal, okay, one 0:18:29.440 --> 0:18:32.440 hundred percent tariff on everything from China starting November first. 0:18:32.880 --> 0:18:35.800 And that's where we are today. Yeah, shij In Ping's 0:18:35.840 --> 0:18:39.880 betting we can't take a long trade war with them, 0:18:40.359 --> 0:18:44.040 according to people close to Beijing's decision making who apparently 0:18:44.080 --> 0:18:47.840 are talking to the American media or something. Right, that's interesting, Yeah, 0:18:48.440 --> 0:18:50.879 how are people close to Jijing being talking to the 0:18:50.920 --> 0:18:54.560 Wall Street Journal? But go on. China's holding a firm line, 0:18:54.600 --> 0:18:57.760 according to the journal, because of its conviction that an 0:18:57.880 --> 0:19:01.080 escalating trade war will tank US market as it did 0:19:01.160 --> 0:19:04.359 in April after Trump announced his Liberation Day tariffs, and 0:19:04.560 --> 0:19:07.600 China expects the prospect of another market meltdown ultimately will 0:19:07.640 --> 0:19:10.560 force Trump to negotiate and an expected summit with she 0:19:10.840 --> 0:19:14.399 late this month. That's not a bad theory from China 0:19:14.640 --> 0:19:18.159 that we are not just Trump, but the whole country. 0:19:18.240 --> 0:19:23.159 We are so day by day short term thinkers with 0:19:23.480 --> 0:19:25.480 oh my god, this is terrible or oh my god, 0:19:25.520 --> 0:19:30.160 this is great. That if the market's tank, uh, there'll 0:19:30.160 --> 0:19:32.320 be all kinds of political pressure to do something different. 0:19:32.359 --> 0:19:35.399 Whereas obviously in a dictatorship, Shiji Pink can hold the 0:19:35.480 --> 0:19:38.400 line on anything as long as he wants right, yeah, 0:19:38.920 --> 0:19:41.600 orrow whatever, wait for whatever to deprive the people of 0:19:41.680 --> 0:19:45.120 whatever does. So that's a pretty good plan. China restricts 0:19:45.160 --> 0:19:48.159 a bunch of things, burn soybeans, rare earth metals. We 0:19:48.320 --> 0:19:52.240 try to retaliate the market's tank. We chicken out, and 0:19:52.280 --> 0:19:55.080 it wouldn't just be taco Trump always chickens out. It'd 0:19:55.080 --> 0:19:58.240 be the whole country would chicken out, and China would 0:19:58.240 --> 0:20:02.959 hold firm. That's not a bad theory, no, as they 0:20:03.119 --> 0:20:06.000 continue to make progress toward being the superpower they long 0:20:06.080 --> 0:20:09.000 to be and keep us on the line as the 0:20:09.160 --> 0:20:12.879 weirdest frenemy in the history of really international relations. On 0:20:13.000 --> 0:20:15.640 his Truth social platform, Trump said the US is considering 0:20:15.760 --> 0:20:19.240 terminating business with China on cooking, oil, and other elements 0:20:19.280 --> 0:20:22.520 of trade because of China's refusal to buy US soybeans 0:20:22.600 --> 0:20:26.320 a decision. Beijing has said his retaliation for Trump's own tariffs, 0:20:27.119 --> 0:20:29.920 We're gonna deny them. They're cooking oil. What'll they do now? Bake? 0:20:30.720 --> 0:20:32.920 It's often funny to me when I read these stories 0:20:32.960 --> 0:20:35.160 and they throw in terms like soybeans or cooking oil 0:20:35.240 --> 0:20:38.840 or whatever, and I, like you and everybody else, you 0:20:38.920 --> 0:20:40.960 have no concept of how big a deal that is, 0:20:41.440 --> 0:20:44.600 you know, none. You just have to assume that it is. 0:20:44.960 --> 0:20:47.040 And this is the way trade wars go. I guess 0:20:47.600 --> 0:20:50.000 one side does something, then the other side does something back, 0:20:50.040 --> 0:20:52.240 and it's just back and forth, tip for tatt till 0:20:52.240 --> 0:20:56.000 you things get crazy. Is that the way it always works? 0:20:56.040 --> 0:21:00.280 I guess so yeah. Frequently, yeah, and then they get 0:21:00.320 --> 0:21:02.920 together and talk and wind things down a little bit. 0:21:03.320 --> 0:21:05.480 But why it has to go through the initial phase, 0:21:06.720 --> 0:21:09.679 I don't know. It's the showing that we're really, really 0:21:10.000 --> 0:21:13.320 serious phase. I guess yeah. On the other hand, while 0:21:13.760 --> 0:21:15.560 Shiji and Ping doesn't have to worry about the daily 0:21:15.640 --> 0:21:18.240 stock market and cable news bad mouthing him or whatever, 0:21:18.760 --> 0:21:21.119 The Wall Street Journal says China's own economy has been 0:21:21.160 --> 0:21:25.160 in a protracted downturn, weighed down by a collapsed property market, 0:21:25.200 --> 0:21:27.440 which we've talked about a lot. There are millions and 0:21:27.520 --> 0:21:30.879 millions of empty high rises around China. Ever, rising debts 0:21:30.920 --> 0:21:34.479 and weakening consumer confidence. However, she is far less beholding 0:21:34.520 --> 0:21:36.720 the market swoons, as I just said, even though the 0:21:36.800 --> 0:21:39.520 Chinese economy faces pure a precarious outlook. Yeah, but he 0:21:39.680 --> 0:21:43.840 is beholden to other high ranking members of the Communist 0:21:43.880 --> 0:21:45.600 Party that wouldn't mind if he got a bullet in 0:21:45.680 --> 0:21:48.080 his head if the economy went down too much, because 0:21:48.080 --> 0:21:51.840 that's the way dictatorships work, right, right, One more bit 0:21:52.160 --> 0:21:55.720 of information. According to the people close to Beishing's decision making, 0:21:56.240 --> 0:21:58.800 She's hardline strategy is based on the belief Trump will 0:21:58.840 --> 0:22:02.160 ultimately fold and off for concessions rather than deployee Washington's 0:22:02.160 --> 0:22:05.640 own significant leverage. The confidence was fueled by a US 0:22:05.760 --> 0:22:08.840 China trade truce stuck in May. Trump had imposed tariffs 0:22:08.840 --> 0:22:10.720 of more than one hundred percent on Chinese products, but 0:22:10.840 --> 0:22:13.600 relented after Beijing used its leverage. Is the world's most 0:22:13.640 --> 0:22:19.280 important exporter of rare earth magnets. I think you mentioned yesterday, 0:22:19.400 --> 0:22:22.160 did you not that we actually are sitting on lots 0:22:22.240 --> 0:22:25.440 and lots of the rare earth materials we've just not 0:22:25.560 --> 0:22:28.639 been willing to mine them because of environmental concerns and 0:22:28.680 --> 0:22:31.280 that sort of thing. This is not something that I know, 0:22:31.480 --> 0:22:33.320 as I'm not an expert in this area, but I 0:22:33.480 --> 0:22:36.040 was looking at a tweet from John Stossel, which I 0:22:36.080 --> 0:22:40.080 will try to find for you right now. China recently 0:22:40.160 --> 0:22:42.680 made it harder to import rare earth minerals, metals needed 0:22:42.680 --> 0:22:46.960 to make phones, electric vehicles, all kinds of defense tech, 0:22:47.080 --> 0:22:48.879 fighter planes and stuff like that, a lot of our 0:22:48.920 --> 0:22:51.720 AI stuff. This shouldn't be a problem. America is full 0:22:51.840 --> 0:22:54.479 of those minerals. It's only a problem because our government 0:22:54.560 --> 0:22:58.520 makes mining almost impossible in this country. According to John Stotswell, 0:22:58.520 --> 0:23:01.879 who's usually right about this sort of thing, right, that 0:23:01.960 --> 0:23:06.760 one surprise me. No, no, not at all. I mean, 0:23:06.800 --> 0:23:08.840 for christ A Loud, we import oil, but we could 0:23:08.960 --> 0:23:14.680
