But the new grooming standards 32 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 2: and fitness standards, I'm wondering if we shouldn't bring them 33 00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 2: to the Armstrong and Getty show ship. He's calling it. 34 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 3: He says, it's the broken windows policy applied to the Pentagon. 35 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:10,800 Speaker 3: So what Pete said, Yeah, I gotta start shaving, do 36 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:16,680 Speaker 3: some pushups, Michael, do something about those eyebrows. They're contributed 37 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:18,520 Speaker 3: to a complete lack of discipline. 38 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:20,400 Speaker 2: I'll work on them. I don't know. 39 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,800 Speaker 3: It looked like they could attack somebody. This is the 40 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 3: War Department. But one thing I heard mentioned today. But 41 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 3: I need to do a little research to figure out 42 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 3: what it is that he wants to uh bring back 43 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,799 Speaker 3: the policy that drill instructors can put their hands on recruits. 44 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 3: Apparently they had. I knew that they had outlawed at partially. 45 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 3: I know this because of my dad and my brother, 46 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,920 Speaker 3: so my it must have. Maybe it's when they outlawed 47 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 3: drill sergeants being able to touch recruits at all. My 48 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,079 Speaker 3: brother was talking about when he went through basic training, 49 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 3: which would have been in the eighties, they would they 50 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 3: would occasionally smack you, like on the rifle range. If 51 00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:59,239 Speaker 3: your head was too up, they come by smack you 52 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 3: on that. Might need to keep your head down. But 53 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,800 Speaker 3: my dad when he went through the well probably. 54 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 2: Worth pointing out so it doesn't get blown off in combat. 55 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 2: And your dad, right, are horribly crippled. Right, yes, but 56 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,239 Speaker 2: my dad said that when he went through basic training 57 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 2: they could punch you. That was part of the deal, right. Wow. 58 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 3: I don't know if that's necessary or not. Although you 59 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 3: do want tough people and yet yeah, I don't know. 60 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,119 Speaker 3: Do you want people that the first time they've ever 61 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 3: been punched or had any physical adversity when they're actually 62 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:32,640 Speaker 3: in a battle. 63 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know. I have no experience 64 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 2: real life experience in this area. I would say if 65 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 2: you pulled warriors over the last five thousand years and 66 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 2: asked him that series of questions, the answer would not 67 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 2: be well, woke, okay. It would probably not be the 68 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 2: kind and gentle Barney the dinosaur style of you know, 69 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 2: dealing with human beings that is in vogue these days, right, 70 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 2: because we're not taught talking about coaches hitting players well, 71 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 2: how to toughening up your players for a sport, or 72 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 2: you know. I don't know that gets pretty you wish, 73 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 2: but people are actually going to head into battle and 74 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 2: defend themselves in the country and the people around them. 75 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 2: I don't know. That's a tough one. 76 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 3: But all the coverage I've heard, outside of some Fox 77 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,920 Speaker 3: commentators and you know, people like us, has all been 78 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 3: oh boy, I don't know about this. I was even 79 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 3: listening to a news nation today and they presented some 80 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 3: of Pete's clips and he's going to He's going to 81 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:40,120 Speaker 3: hold people to one standard for physical fitness, even if 82 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 3: that means fewer women in combat. Jim, how do we 83 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 3: feel about that? 84 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:48,040 Speaker 2: If you think that is controversial, I don't even know 85 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,920 Speaker 2: how to talk to you right right, what that illustrates 86 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 2: is the unbelievable extent to which people will repeat what 87 00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 2: they think they're supposed to say and come to believe it. 88 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 2: It's absolutely I hate to use the term no brainer. 89 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 2: It makes it sound like I have no brain, but 90 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,719 Speaker 2: it is a no brainer that you don't give somebody 91 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:15,480 Speaker 2: a break in terms of physical fitness for combat based 92 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:20,160 Speaker 2: on anything. What else? Maybe they it's a congenital condition 93 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 2: he has that one of his arms doesn't work very well. 94 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 2: It's not his faults, so we're going to lower a stand. No, 95 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 2: it's about keeping people alive. It's not a jobs program 96 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:33,160 Speaker 2: or the country alive. Well right, yeah, it's a good point. 97 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 3: But the fact that anybody can present that is controversial 98 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,359 Speaker 3: to me. I don't even know where I would start 99 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 3: having a conversation with you. I feel like there'd be 100 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 3: no point. We're so far apart, there's no point in 101 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:47,600 Speaker 3: even trying to because if it isn't self evident that 102 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 3: that's a good idea, well then we're just. 103 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:52,160 Speaker 2: So far apart in our worldview. Well, I don't think 104 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 2: that being far apart is the problem, because if they 105 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 2: were to come up with a well reasoned set of 106 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 2: ideas backing up their opinion, then all right, let's get 107 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 2: it on, let's talk to each other. I'll bet this 108 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 2: will be interesting. But if they are merely parroting what 109 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 2: they think they're supposed to say, and in this case, 110 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 2: it's going to be ninety nine to one percentage wise 111 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 2: the number of people who say it's it's wrong and 112 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 2: discriminatory to hold women to the same standards for combatists men. 113 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 2: They are so clearly not a person who can think 114 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 2: independently that you're wasting your time. Yeah, I don't know. 115 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,160 Speaker 3: It'll be interesting to see if he's actually able to 116 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 3: implement some of this stuff. 117 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 2: You know, I'm hoping the mainstream. 118 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:39,719 Speaker 3: Media is an outlier in terms of people's view on 119 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:41,680 Speaker 3: this sort of thing, because, like I said, most of 120 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 3: the coverage was, well, I don't know, we're gonna have 121 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 3: fewer women because they have a different standard. They're not 122 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 3: gonna have a different standard for men and women. Women 123 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 3: aren't quite as strong. Why would we have the same standard. 124 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 3: It's like, I get it, I don't even know where 125 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 3: to start. 126 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,200 Speaker 2: Well, you are looking at a different goal than the 127 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 2: rest of us, right, Your goal is to have the 128 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 2: proper quota of women and people with a withered arm 129 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 2: or whatever. In combat, ours is to win and protect 130 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 2: the country. You know, I take back what I said 131 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 2: about you're wasting your time because they have no independent thought. 132 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 2: The simple truth is a large number of voters are sheep. 133 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 2: They don't think independently. They say what they think they're 134 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 2: supposed to say. And you know, so you have to 135 00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 2: sway a certain number of them and sit them down 136 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 2: and talk to them and explain to them, Well, if 137 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 2: somebody gets wounded and he weighs two hundred and forty pounds, 138 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 2: that gal that you're advocating for can't save his life. 139 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 2: She just can't. She might want to, and I know 140 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 2: the stories of mothers pulling cars up into the air 141 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 2: to save their baby, blah blah blah, but she just can't. 142 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I hope the implementation can go. No more 143 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 3: fat generals, that's what he said, No more fat generals. 144 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 3: Let's start the show officially, because you know it's a 145 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 3: big one, jem. 146 00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 2: Sorry, my emphasis needs to be on fat admirals because 147 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 2: a general at least is operating mostly on the ground, 148 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 2: where you have fairly unlimited space. An admiral is on 149 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 2: a ship. I mean, there's limited square footage on a 150 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 2: ship certainly a submarine. So fat Admirals are getting off 151 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 2: easy in my opinion. 152 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 3: Plus a good sink you just think it rub right, duh, 153 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 3: you have to displace more water to keep you afloat. 154 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 2: Thank you.

But it was in Trump's voice 172 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 2: to troll them, so it was both by the book 173 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:36,520 Speaker 2: and hilarious. 174 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 3: Speaking of trolling, we talked to yesterday about the AI 175 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 3: video that Trump put out about the shutdown that had 176 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:47,560 Speaker 3: Schumer there and Hakim Jeffreys there, and Schumer was saying 177 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 3: things in Schumer's voice that weren't accurate but were funny, 178 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 3: and Hakim Jefferys was wearing a sombrero and had a 179 00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:56,880 Speaker 3: big mustache with mariachi music playing in the background, with 180 00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:01,680 Speaker 3: the idea being that they're trying to get it healthcare 181 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 3: for illegals. Yes, he put out a new video today 182 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 3: that is similar with Schumer saying even more crazy things, 183 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,840 Speaker 3: but this includes Trump as the mariachi band. It's all 184 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,040 Speaker 3: a bunch of Trumps playing the trumpet and the big 185 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:17,160 Speaker 3: guitar and all that sort of. 186 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 2: On his official site. These are odd times, especially with 187 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 2: the nightmare of the government shut down. 188 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:32,120 Speaker 3: Here's my favorite stat about that whole thing. The government 189 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 3: shut down for a full month the last time we 190 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:38,320 Speaker 3: did it. Do you even remember shut down for entire month? 191 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:41,840 Speaker 3: And John even remember that it happened? 192 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:46,320 Speaker 2: Honestly, what I remember is how hard they tried to 193 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 2: make it hurt normal people, right, because without those efforts, 194 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:53,199 Speaker 2: most people would just go about their business. 195 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 1: Right. 196 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:54,400 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's right. 197 00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:56,560 Speaker 3: I was listening to some of the doom and gloom 198 00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 3: on one of the channels, and I thought, man, if 199 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,559 Speaker 3: you have to try this hard to come up with 200 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 3: something that is bad with the government shutting down, there's 201 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,760 Speaker 3: too much government. You shouldn't have to work this hard 202 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 3: to come up with anything that could possibly upset anyone. 203 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 3: You know, I have some example. Here's my example. On 204 00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:23,560 Speaker 3: the news, they said, for instance, Friday inflation numbers are 205 00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:25,240 Speaker 3: supposed to be coming out. A lot of people are 206 00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 3: looking forward to those, and those numbers will not come 207 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:27,760 Speaker 3: out on time. 208 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,040 Speaker 2: I thought, that's that's your Oh my god, the government 209 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:34,560 Speaker 2: shut down. I gotta text my wife. We're not going 210 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:36,920 Speaker 2: to feed the dog until the government shutdown is over. 211 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:40,280 Speaker 2: We can't, I mean, just not knowing the inflation numbers. 212 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:43,959 Speaker 2: It's just we've got to take precautions, honey. Turn off 213 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,319 Speaker 2: the water at the main valve outside of the house, 214 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:50,960 Speaker 2: cancel the natural gas. Uh yeah. Here's my only analysis 215 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:54,360 Speaker 2: of it. It's a very weird shutdown because it's not 216 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:59,560 Speaker 2: over anything specific. It is merely the democratic party desperate 217 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:03,559 Speaker 2: to show that they're fighting Trump because they're aware of 218 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:08,560 Speaker 2: their miserable, miserable unpopularity. And you know whether this works 219 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:10,520 Speaker 2: or not, we'll all find out together and it'll be fine. 220 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:16,800 Speaker 2: But it is a real gamble by a beast that 221 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:18,320 Speaker 2: is in its death throws. 222 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:22,240 Speaker 3: It's going to open this evening or Friday night while 223 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:25,240 Speaker 3: you're sleep, or next Tuesday, and you'll never think about 224 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:26,720 Speaker 3: it again in your life. 225 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 2: That's where it's here's the Armstrong and Getty challenge. Please 226 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:36,439 Speaker 2: note in your own life, if you'd have noticed it 227 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:40,719 Speaker 2: without being told that the government shut down and then 228 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:44,760 Speaker 2: when it opens, would you have noticed that without being 229 00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,640 Speaker 2: told on any lefl No, that's a unicorn. That person 230 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 2: will not exist. 231 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:52,480 Speaker 3: Who is a You're not a federal employee, obviously that 232 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,000 Speaker 3: you would have noticed it shutting down or starting back up.

Yeah, it's like the tension of a 247 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:57,720 Speaker 2: last second fifty yard field goal stretched over ten minutes. Yeah, 248 00:13:57,720 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 2: it was cool. Oh my god, is it in? Is 249 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 2: it in? Is it? But for ten straight?

Wow, I 338 00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:40,000 Speaker 2: don't know. I would suggest that you try really really 339 00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:41,240 Speaker 2: hard to find them. 340 00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:45,200 Speaker 3: Well, the fact that Israel is saying you lay down 341 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:48,919 Speaker 3: your arms and we'll you know, we'll forgive, forgive you. 342 00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:50,960 Speaker 2: They don't use that word, but we won't. We won't 343 00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:54,280 Speaker 2: come after you anymore. We'll call it off. 344 00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:56,520 Speaker 3: That's a heck of a thing for people that came 345 00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:59,879 Speaker 3: into your country and murdered babies and grandma's. 346 00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:09,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's an amnesty at right, right. So anyway, one 347 00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:12,960 Speaker 2: I came across two pieces of analysis that I thought 348 00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:16,240 Speaker 2: were great, won by Michael Orrin in the Free Press, 349 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:21,560 Speaker 2: and his problem with it is that there's a real 350 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:27,160 Speaker 2: lack of timetables, and he, like me, believes that Hamas 351 00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:30,000 Speaker 2: will act like it's complying or it agrees or what 352 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 2: have you. But then the foot dragging, the tiptoeing right 353 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:36,760 Speaker 2: up to the line of violating the agreement or actually 354 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:41,480 Speaker 2: violating it will begin, and they will begin sewing chaos 355 00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:44,320 Speaker 2: as quickly as possible. And he's troubled by the lack 356 00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:47,359 Speaker 2: of structure here. I have a feeling that will come along, 357 00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:54,600 Speaker 2: especially with Trump involved, if they in a Putin like way, 358 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:57,120 Speaker 2: although Trump's response to Putin hasn't been everything I think 359 00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,000 Speaker 2: it should be. But if they in a Putin like 360 00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:01,240 Speaker 2: way string him along over and over again, he's going 361 00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 2: to say, all right, you got a week to achieve 362 00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,320 Speaker 2: these three goals, or it's all off. We're going to 363 00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:10,000 Speaker 2: attack you anyway. Michael larn by the way, a badass warrior. 364 00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:12,080 Speaker 3: From the way back in the day in some of 365 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:15,000 Speaker 3: Israel's biggest wars and wrote a fantastic book called Six 366 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:15,479 Speaker 3: Days of War. 367 00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:17,440 Speaker 2: If you ever want to read about that one an 368 00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:21,480 Speaker 2: excellent tip. Six Days of War terrific. So this guy 369 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:25,919 Speaker 2: has no illusions about Hamas cooperating. His belief is that 370 00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,000 Speaker 2: they will only cooperate to the extent that they are 371 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:31,320 Speaker 2: forced to cooperate. And he says, potentially fatal flaw on 372 00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:33,840 Speaker 2: the plan is its assumption that after nearly forty years 373 00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:37,920 Speaker 2: of radical Islamism, countless terrorist attacks, and an unprecedented level 374 00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:43,119 Speaker 2: of international support, HAMAS will change its DNA, Which is 375 00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:45,800 Speaker 2: what I was saying yesterday. If their stated purpose is 376 00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:47,880 Speaker 2: to wipe the Jews off the face of the earth, 377 00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:52,720 Speaker 2: specifically Israel, becoming some sort of men's club or civic 378 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:55,639 Speaker 2: organization is going to be a difficult transition. 379 00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,040 Speaker 3: Well, I still think the hope is if they agree 380 00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:01,199 Speaker 3: to it. You get so many countries involved, including a 381 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:03,520 Speaker 3: whole bunch of Arab countries that are running that Gaza strip, 382 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:07,480 Speaker 3: and HAMAS just isn't in no position to do what 383 00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:08,480 Speaker 3: they've done in the past. 384 00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:13,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, they die for lack of you know, fertilizer support relevance. 385 00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:17,520 Speaker 2: So here's the thing I found really really interesting why 386 00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:22,520 Speaker 2: Katar changed course on Hamas. And this is written by 387 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:28,119 Speaker 2: Emit Siegel, who was is a chief political commentator in 388 00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:32,880 Speaker 2: Israeli media and the author of a book of history 389 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:36,800 Speaker 2: about Israeli politics and that sort of thing. He says, 390 00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:38,480 Speaker 2: it's too early to know if they'll only be an 391 00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:42,080 Speaker 2: agreement to the warrant Gaza and whether it'll be implemented. 392 00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:45,320 Speaker 2: But there is a reason for President Trump's optimism that 393 00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:48,119 Speaker 2: Hamas might release hostages, give up its weapons, and leave power. 394 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:53,320 Speaker 2: Change is afoot not in Gaza, but in Doha, capital 395 00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:56,639 Speaker 2: of Qatar. The government of Qatar is pressuring its proteges 396 00:21:56,680 --> 00:22:00,320 Speaker 2: to accept the deal. The regime which thwarted the last 397 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:05,080 Speaker 2: hostage deal changed its mind because the war has reached 398 00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:12,000 Speaker 2: its home. After the IDF operated in five Muslim capitals Gaza, Beirut, Damascus, 399 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:16,399 Speaker 2: Sanna and Tehran, it hit Doha the attempted killing of 400 00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:19,320 Speaker 2: senior MAAS officials in broad daylight, and Katar signaled to 401 00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:22,280 Speaker 2: the natural gas Emirate that it could not continue the 402 00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:25,080 Speaker 2: double game it has played in recent years. Despite the 403 00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 2: threats against Israel, the Qataris are now working to make 404 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:29,880 Speaker 2: Hamas except the demands from Jerusalem. 405 00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:33,280 Speaker 3: Wow, that's interesting if that's true, If that made the difference, 406 00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:36,399 Speaker 3: And that's a heck of a thing that Netanyaho called 407 00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:37,480 Speaker 3: from the oval opposed. 408 00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:45,560 Speaker 2: Sorry about that precisely. He let cutter lotterr save face. 409 00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:48,280 Speaker 2: That's why that call was made, That's why it was 410 00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:52,760 Speaker 2: done publicly. Netin Yahoo made a show of I'm sorry 411 00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:56,720 Speaker 2: I did that. I want peace between us. I'm absolutely 412 00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:02,679 Speaker 2: not pushing you or bullying you or threatening you. So 413 00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:05,640 Speaker 2: you have credibility in the eyes of your people. But 414 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,960 Speaker 2: the Katari leadership is like, holy crap, now they're coming 415 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 2: at us. This is over. Hamas, Is this guy right? 416 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,600 Speaker 2: He sure makes a convincing case. I'll bet he's right. 417 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:17,439 Speaker 2: Makes sense to me. 418 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:20,959 Speaker 3: And and and just logically, you finally get to some 419 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:25,000 Speaker 3: of those gazillionaires, they're like, I got a really great 420 00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:27,560 Speaker 3: life here. I live on the entire floor of one 421 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:29,880 Speaker 3: of the tallest buildings in the world. I got six 422 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 3: different bent leafs and a harem of women, and I 423 00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:36,280 Speaker 3: don't really want to get involved in the nitty gritty 424 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:36,479 Speaker 3: of this. 425 00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:40,480 Speaker 2: So right, and if you're the Kataris who really fancy 426 00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:44,399 Speaker 2: themselves that the world diplomats and and all, and just 427 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:47,760 Speaker 2: because they've got an enormous trove of natural gas under them, uh, 428 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:50,359 Speaker 2: the idea that they're gonna get punched in the face 429 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:56,480 Speaker 2: repeatedly to what hide Hamas, These guys are thinking, no way, 430 00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:58,240 Speaker 2: for the reasons you just enunciated. 431 00:23:58,800 --> 00:23:58,919 Speaker 1: Uh. 432 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:04,480 Speaker 2: Qatar had recently defended this gent rights Hamas's efforts from 433 00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:07,200 Speaker 2: Maiden Power and its demands for a full Israeli withdrawal 434 00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:11,840 Speaker 2: in exchange for leasing the hostages full Israeli withdrawal. Now 435 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:15,159 Speaker 2: Doah is among those threatening Hamas with destruction if it 436 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,879 Speaker 2: won't accept this deal, which is pretty much the opposite, 437 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:22,879 Speaker 2: and Prime Minister Netanya Who's telephone apology for violating Cutter's 438 00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:27,480 Speaker 2: sovereignty is lip service to devert divert attention from the Emirates. Turnaround. 439 00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:31,600 Speaker 3: I think Hamas has got no choice but to say 440 00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:34,720 Speaker 3: yes to this and then maybe they try to wriggle 441 00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:38,280 Speaker 3: out of it or whatever, but I think you know, 442 00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:40,040 Speaker 3: by this weekend they got to say yes. 443 00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:43,159 Speaker 2: Can you imagine the way. 444 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:46,320 Speaker 3: Israel is going to roll in there given what they 445 00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:49,000 Speaker 3: said the other day in the Oval Office where Netya 446 00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:50,800 Speaker 3: who said we'll do what we gotta do and Trump said, 447 00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:52,840 Speaker 3: go ahead, we got you, got you got our we 448 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:53,480 Speaker 3: got your back. 449 00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:56,800 Speaker 2: Oh my god, do what you need to do. Yeah, yeah, 450 00:24:56,840 --> 00:25:01,760 Speaker 2: I would agree. The The only question mark is how 451 00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:06,280 Speaker 2: does this unfold over time as coalitions start to pursue 452 00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:09,320 Speaker 2: their own self interest and are threatened to buy this 453 00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:14,080 Speaker 2: development at home or over how much restive fundamentalist population. 454 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:15,800 Speaker 2: In a couple of million years, the sun's going to 455 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:17,200 Speaker 2: burn out and we're all going to freeze to death. 456 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,919 Speaker 2: I mean, how much time next? Yeah, well, no, that's 457 00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:23,399 Speaker 2: what that's that's the whole point. Things are nice and 458 00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:27,520 Speaker 2: tight for three weeks. It's like, do you remember when 459 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,720 Speaker 2: who was asking the question? Was it? I think it 460 00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:33,159 Speaker 2: may have been one of the podcasts the National Review 461 00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:36,560 Speaker 2: guys do right after October seventh? Right after I think 462 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:39,840 Speaker 2: it was Rich Lowry asked the panel, all right, how 463 00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:45,280 Speaker 2: long until Israel's support starts to fracture among the Western governments? 464 00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:48,760 Speaker 2: And you know, the guy said a week, one guy said, 465 00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:53,720 Speaker 2: two weeks, one guy said three months. Whatever, will the 466 00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:57,040 Speaker 2: the solidity, the strength of will that exists right now 467 00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:01,159 Speaker 2: still exist in two months, two years? That'll be the 468 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:01,680 Speaker 2: interesting part. 469 00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:04,000 Speaker 3: I don't know, but the cratering support for Israel in 470 00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 3: the United States is a problem because we're definitely their 471 00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:10,679 Speaker 3: biggest cheerleader and. 472 00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:12,440 Speaker 2: Give them tons of money in military equipment. Yeah. It 473 00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,960 Speaker 2: seems though that the elites in both parties say, yeah, 474 00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:17,720 Speaker 2: the voters don't know what they're talking about. Are the 475 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:19,639 Speaker 2: people taking the support in our ally? 476 00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:21,919 Speaker 3: But for Now the next generation of leaders might not 477 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:23,160 Speaker 3: feel the same way. 478 00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:27,720 Speaker 2: Especially if there's some sort of Mumdani type. Yeah, it's 479 00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:30,239 Speaker 2: almost certainly going to be the mayor of New York. Now, 480 00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:31,280 Speaker 2: I've resigned myself to it. 481 00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:33,720 Speaker 3: You know, AOC is probably going to run against Schumer. 482 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:36,600 Speaker 3: Schumer will be out, you know, the old school like him, 483 00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:38,359 Speaker 3: Democrats that were in support Israel. 484 00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,960 Speaker 2: That might be the end of that.

You don't need to win, it's 506 00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,680 Speaker 2: automatic Prize Picks. It's good to be right. 507 00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:47,160 Speaker 3: Josh Allen, quarterback for one of the only two unbeaten 508 00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:49,040 Speaker 3: teams in the NFL, the Buffalo Bill. Did you see 509 00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:51,960 Speaker 3: that long run he had the other day? Someday you 510 00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:54,760 Speaker 3: gotta look that up on YouTube or something. He puts 511 00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:56,960 Speaker 3: his He did the opposite of what every quarterback does. 512 00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,240 Speaker 3: He put his head down with stiff arming people and 513 00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:01,840 Speaker 3: running people over right in the middle of the field. 514 00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:06,520 Speaker 2: Well, boy, as big as a house, right, that helps? Yeah? 515 00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:10,560 Speaker 3: And dainty little Patrick Mahomes, Wow, you've turned on him. 516 00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:12,199 Speaker 3: I haven't turned on him. He's just he shouldn't be 517 00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:13,240 Speaker 3: trying to pop people over. 518 00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:17,200 Speaker 2: Dainty is no compliment to an NFL player. Limping around 519 00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:24,200 Speaker 2: a dainty limper, says you why, I gotta just see 520 00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:28,920 Speaker 2: some gal ripped. Pat Mahomes was handing out, like his wristband, 521 00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:32,679 Speaker 2: his headband to young fans at the tunnel entrance, and 522 00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:34,800 Speaker 2: he handed his headband to a little girl who was 523 00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:37,760 Speaker 2: a Chiefs fan and a Giants fan. Lady snatched it 524 00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:40,600 Speaker 2: away from the little girl, and now, of course she's 525 00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:41,320 Speaker 2: gone viral. 526 00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:44,240 Speaker 3: And the Kansas City Karen Okay, I saw I saw 527 00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:46,400 Speaker 3: a Kansas City Karen thing up on the screen yester 528 00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:47,160 Speaker 3: day and I didn't. 529 00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:49,840 Speaker 2: Know what it was. Yeah, okay, we're supposed to be 530 00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:56,040 Speaker 2: angry about her threatener fired. Oh boy, oh boy. Yeah, 531 00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:57,400 Speaker 2: I need to know all about her. I want to 532 00:28:57,400 --> 00:28:59,920 Speaker 2: see some tweet that she put out five years ago, 533 00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:02,960 Speaker 2: lose their job, run out of her house. 534 00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:03,760 Speaker 1: You know. 535 00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:05,680 Speaker 2: It was funny. We were going over the audio that 536 00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:07,800 Speaker 2: we have available for the show today and it will 537 00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:11,080 Speaker 2: amuse and delight you, I promise, But a number of 538 00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:15,800 Speaker 2: the clips struck me as and these are fairly big stories, 539 00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:19,640 Speaker 2: so it's it's absolutely appropriate that that our fabulous crack 540 00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:22,680 Speaker 2: staff brings them. But a lot of them fall into 541 00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:24,840 Speaker 2: the category of things I think we're supposed to be 542 00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:29,240 Speaker 2: mad about or offended by. I've got a story. It's 543 00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:30,680 Speaker 2: so good. I can't wait to tell it. 544 00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:34,680 Speaker 3: And hats off to the San Francisco Chronicle for going 545 00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:40,080 Speaker 3: big on the first social equity weed store. How it 546 00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:43,280 Speaker 3: went under but everybody got rich even as it went under. 547 00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:47,640 Speaker 3: It's classic socialism. I mean, just Eric, you wanna Yeah, 548 00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:50,160 Speaker 3: And and good for the Chronicle for laying that story out. 549 00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:51,680 Speaker 3: Maybe we'll get to that how or too. I mean, 550 00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:54,840 Speaker 3: it's just it's absolutely classic why socialism doesn't work. 551 00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:59,760 Speaker 2: Yeah. And we also have a special, very special gender 552 00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:02,560 Speaker 2: Madness Celebrity edition. Wow. 553 00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:06,800 Speaker 3: Oh, and I got to talk about the lift driver 554 00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:10,840 Speaker 3: I had the other day who was from Lebanon. Great 555 00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:13,280 Speaker 3: story he told me as he drove me around, lots 556 00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:15,160 Speaker 3: of stuff on the way. We got mailbag next day 557 00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:21,960 Speaker 3: here I named the wrong s whole country. My lyft 558 00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:24,320 Speaker 3: driver was from Syria. But I do want to tell 559 00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:27,440 Speaker 3: that story, him coming to this country and raising his 560 00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:28,520 Speaker 3: kids and everything like that. 561 00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:30,920 Speaker 2: It is fantastic. Maybe we'll get to that next hour. 562 00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:33,520 Speaker 2: Love that. Here's your freedom loving quote of the day, 563 00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:38,920 Speaker 2: continuing our theme of change. This from John D. Rockefeller. Ah, 564 00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:41,640 Speaker 2: I'm a big I wrote a very large biography about 565 00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:44,840 Speaker 2: him once. One of the few Americans who still reads 566 00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:48,480 Speaker 2: according to you yesterday, don't be afraid to give up 567 00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:50,400 Speaker 2: the good to go for the great. 568 00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:51,120 Speaker 1: Mmm. 569 00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:54,840 Speaker 2: Of course, here was a man who thought big, dream big. 570 00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:57,760 Speaker 3: He ran the standard oil. He was one of the 571 00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:00,760 Speaker 3: richest people that's ever lived to justin for inflation. Gave 572 00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:03,080 Speaker 3: ten percent of his money always from the beginning to 573 00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:04,440 Speaker 3: the end, back to the church. 574 00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:09,440 Speaker 2: Because he was very religious. Man. Interesting mailbag woot woot, 575 00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,040 Speaker 2: drop us a note mail bag at Armstrong and getty 576 00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:18,560 Speaker 2: dot com. Number of comments on Pete Heggss's speech to 577 00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:23,600 Speaker 2: the troops yesterday. This is from alien anonymous. I'm so 578 00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:26,000 Speaker 2: excited to hear hegsas pep talk. My son is West 579 00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,840 Speaker 2: Point grad currently working through his service at port List. 580 00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:32,840 Speaker 2: Both senior leadership and enlisted regularly fallout when they go 581 00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:35,640 Speaker 2: on their two mile jogs because they aren't fit enough 582 00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:39,200 Speaker 2: to even run two miles. Oh my god. And he 583 00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:41,440 Speaker 2: said the average mile time for those that do finish 584 00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:44,720 Speaker 2: is twelve minutes. Not okay? Is that with a packer, 585 00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:47,720 Speaker 2: just like in shorts and T shirts? It's just pta 586 00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:50,520 Speaker 2: I think, oh man, twelve minutes and half of them 587 00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:53,800 Speaker 2: can't even do it. Yeah, yeah, or quite a few 588 00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:57,400 Speaker 2: of them anyway. Then this from a kerlonel in the 589 00:31:57,520 --> 00:32:02,719 Speaker 2: United States Air Force, Colonel Anonymous. I want to give 590 00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:05,840 Speaker 2: you some insight from those serving currently on the sec 591 00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:10,600 Speaker 2: war's speech. And the colonel is currently serving in the Pentagon, 592 00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:16,160 Speaker 2: by the way, and he says not fat I'm assuming 593 00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:20,360 Speaker 2: apparently not that we might want to hear indeed his perspective, 594 00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:23,120 Speaker 2: and we do. He said, this was the biggest breath 595 00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:25,760 Speaker 2: of fresh air I've heard in years, possibly decades, if 596 00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:28,680 Speaker 2: we follow through on it. It's all about merit, war 597 00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:32,360 Speaker 2: fighting standards, focus. These things are sorely lacking in the 598 00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:35,920 Speaker 2: department today, taken over by hundreds of hours of mandatory 599 00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:40,800 Speaker 2: online training, lowered standards, fearing retention, and a focus on 600 00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:45,520 Speaker 2: feelings not the mission. Fat, out of shape and undertrained 601 00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:48,480 Speaker 2: members litter the halls of the Pentagon. Yes, many generals, 602 00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:51,440 Speaker 2: all the way down to our combat units. Things like shaving, 603 00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:55,200 Speaker 2: waivers and fitness may seem frivolous to the public, but 604 00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:57,560 Speaker 2: they are the little standards that build a foundation for 605 00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:00,840 Speaker 2: the bigger ones. His example of broken window is perfect 606 00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:03,600 Speaker 2: for this the time of leaders fearing risk taking and 607 00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:06,200 Speaker 2: innovation is hopefully over. I have more on that too. 608 00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:10,400 Speaker 2: Until yesterday, commanders would fear any mistake because it would 609 00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:13,280 Speaker 2: probably be the end of their career. That's what I 610 00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:18,640 Speaker 2: was reading about, the one mistake culture, where if anything 611 00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:21,320 Speaker 2: goes the least bit wrong, it's a permanent blot on 612 00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:23,680 Speaker 2: your record in your career is essentially over. So nobody 613 00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:29,360 Speaker 2: dares innovate anyway, Bubba. Until yesterday, Oh, there it is 614 00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:32,280 Speaker 2: end of their career. This stifled risk taking and trying 615 00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:35,000 Speaker 2: something new. We're at the weakest we have ever been 616 00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:37,240 Speaker 2: since I've been in the military from a resourcing and 617 00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:40,840 Speaker 2: capability standpoint. This shift in mindset and standards will hopefully 618 00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:42,680 Speaker 2: help fix some of that. I have a son who's 619 00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:44,520 Speaker 2: about to join in. Many of the policies and issues 620 00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:47,120 Speaker 2: have made me double think recommending it to him. Peak's 621 00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:49,680 Speaker 2: Golden rule is exactly how we need to be fighting 622 00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:54,640 Speaker 2: and leading. And then Colonel Isle summarizes, I know this 623 00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:57,080 Speaker 2: speech will rile a lot of feathers, but everyone I 624 00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:59,479 Speaker 2: serve with that I've talked to is one hundred percent 625 00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:02,040 Speaker 2: on board with this message and ready to move out 626 00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:05,400 Speaker 2: making our military more lethal and establishing the deterrence the 627 00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:06,160 Speaker 2: world needs. 628 00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:09,800 Speaker 3: Wow, every cable news panel I saw outside of Fox 629 00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:12,200 Speaker 3: was just you know, the generals were just sitting there 630 00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:13,120 Speaker 3: hating every bit. 631 00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:15,360 Speaker 2: Of this and blah blah blah blah blah. 632 00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:18,320 Speaker 3: You know some might be and they need to go 633 00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:20,840 Speaker 3: and they should lead's and that Pete said that, actually 634 00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:23,359 Speaker 3: he said, and if you're not digging this, if you're thinking, 635 00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:25,400 Speaker 3: oh no, well and you probably should retire, do the 636 00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:27,680 Speaker 3: right thing for your country. We thank you for your service, 637 00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:30,680 Speaker 3: but retire right right amen to that. 638 00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:34,799 Speaker 2: You know, we're constantly saying, remember, the kids didn't raise themselves. Well, 639 00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:40,040 Speaker 2: the Pentagon didn't raise itself. Now you can understand why 640 00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:42,200 Speaker 2: a lot of the leadership that's been bad. You can 641 00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:44,560 Speaker 2: understand why there are some people who think I rose 642 00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:46,840 Speaker 2: up through the ranks doing what I was told to 643 00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:49,440 Speaker 2: do by making an emphasis on making sure we got 644 00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:52,680 Speaker 2: enough women and trans people and that nobody feels offended 645 00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:54,040 Speaker 2: and triggered. 646 00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:55,920 Speaker 3: And now you're gonna get rid of me. But you 647 00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:58,200 Speaker 3: know that's we can't worry about that. We got to 648 00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:01,040 Speaker 3: have a lethal fighting force. And what we see here 649 00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:05,480 Speaker 3: is the power of leadership. Marxists in particular like to 650 00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:09,080 Speaker 3: pretend that everything is the result of these uh, these 651 00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:13,600 Speaker 3: you know, shifts in humanity, these broad trends and blah blah. 652 00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:16,960 Speaker 3: Leadership doesn't really matter. It's all more or less inevitable. 653 00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:21,360 Speaker 3: No leadership matters a lot. Moving on to a different topic, 654 00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:28,440 Speaker 3: This is uh Judy from Portland reading an article on 655 00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:31,640 Speaker 3: coin six news website that's one of the big news 656 00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:32,560 Speaker 3: stations in Portland. 657 00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:33,160 Speaker 1: Uh. 658 00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:36,000 Speaker 2: The article is titled Portland We're not a war zone. 659 00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:38,520 Speaker 2: That's what you'd expect people that live close saying the 660 00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:42,560 Speaker 2: protests aren't a big deal. It's generally peaceful, blah blah blah, 661 00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:45,080 Speaker 2: we don't need the federal government blah blah blah, except 662 00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:47,319 Speaker 2: you can't really walk your dog in that area because 663 00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:50,480 Speaker 2: of the tear gas and minor inconveniences like that. But 664 00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:53,600 Speaker 2: the last paragraph was my favorite. She writes. Coin six 665 00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:56,840 Speaker 2: News contacted several businesses in the area, but all declined 666 00:35:56,880 --> 00:36:00,919 Speaker 2: to speak on camera for fear of retaliation from protest. Wow. 667 00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:05,040 Speaker 2: Nothing to see in Portland, just local business people universally 668 00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:08,959 Speaker 2: afraid of the peaceful protesters. Do these reporters not read 669 00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:13,960 Speaker 2: the words they write? Wow?
