1 00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:06,080 Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 2 00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:10,160 Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. 3 00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:23,639 Speaker 2: Armstrong and get Kid and he Armstrong and Getty to 4 00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:27,920 Speaker 2: the media outlets and political left streaming endless wars. Stop. 5 00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:32,519 Speaker 2: This is not a rack. This is not endless. I 6 00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:36,279 Speaker 2: was there for both. Our generation knows better, and so 7 00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:39,960 Speaker 2: does this president. He called the last twenty years of 8 00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:45,640 Speaker 2: nation building wars dumb, and he's right. This is the opposite. 9 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:51,800 Speaker 2: This operation is a clear, devastating, decisive mission. Destroy the 10 00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:55,680 Speaker 2: missile threat, destroy the navy, no nukes. Boy, that is 11 00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 2: something for the Republican Administration's Secretary of Defense or second 12 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 2: Vitoria of War to come out and say those wars 13 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,560 Speaker 2: were dumb since they were launched, you know under Bush. 14 00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:07,360 Speaker 3: That's pretty powerful. 15 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,120 Speaker 1: Right, And there is a question, Well, there's kind of 16 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:13,959 Speaker 1: regime change in mind, but how much nobody's sure. But 17 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:17,800 Speaker 1: to discuss this in other matters, it's always great to 18 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,840 Speaker 1: talk to military analyst Mike Lyons, who joins us now. 19 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:21,759 Speaker 2: Hello, Mike, how are you. 20 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 4: Hey, guys, good to be back. 21 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, it was pretty interested in your tweet. Iran will 22 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,880 Speaker 2: attempt to execute something we have really never seen before 23 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 2: when a war of attrition in the air. 24 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:33,280 Speaker 3: Explain what you meant by that. 25 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,640 Speaker 4: So we understand regular wars of attrition. They take place 26 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 4: on the ground against industrialized nations that just you know, 27 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,200 Speaker 4: grind each other out. We're seeing it happen in Ukraine 28 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 4: right now in Russia, but we haven't seen it in 29 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 4: the air before. And it's all about air defense platforms 30 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 4: and air defense systems versus attack air capability. Because this 31 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 4: war right now is all in the air. It's all 32 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,760 Speaker 4: you know. We've launched our missiles and our planes against 33 00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,520 Speaker 4: the Ranes, and all they have is missiles that come 34 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 4: back at us. And so from their perspective, and the 35 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 4: economics of theater missile defense are not in our favor 36 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 4: because of the cost it takes to defend versus the 37 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 4: cost to go on the attack. The Iran fires one 38 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 4: hundred thousand dollars ballistic missile at Israel or at one 39 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 4: of our allies, and we spend a million dollars in 40 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 4: multiple different ways to intercept that down and we're running 41 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 4: out of those interceptors, and so the math doesn't work. 42 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,520 Speaker 4: And so what Iran's going to try to do is 43 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 4: to make multiple different targets all around the theater. We're noticing, 44 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:38,480 Speaker 4: for example, why are they hitting targets of their neighboring 45 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 4: countries in the Middle East. Well, it's because it's causing 46 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 4: the missile defense theater to spread out its defense capabilities. Okay, 47 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 4: so now now you're not You know, we stocked up 48 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,120 Speaker 4: with the Gerald Ford on the Mediterranean side, but now 49 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,920 Speaker 4: the Abraham Lincoln is now in that game, and then 50 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,359 Speaker 4: using these other countries. Russell saw a mistake. The Katari's 51 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 4: down American F thirty five's there, probably by a mistake. 52 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,119 Speaker 4: They should have recognized that was a friendly fire situation, 53 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 4: but they didn't. So they're new in the combat game. 54 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:14,079 Speaker 4: So again overall in as a result of this, the 55 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 4: Uranians are going to try to fire multiple different ballistic 56 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:21,080 Speaker 4: missiles to a trip down the allies i'll call it 57 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 4: American and Israeli defense systems and forcing us to deplete 58 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:29,239 Speaker 4: all our stocks before we've before they've gotten rid of 59 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 4: all of theirs. 60 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,359 Speaker 1: Clearly, the answer to that conundrum is to take out 61 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 1: their capacity to fire all those missiles. How optimistic are 62 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,279 Speaker 1: you that we can do serious damage? 63 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 4: Right? That's the thing that the Secretary of Heads, I 64 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 4: said yesterdays when I was going back and forth with 65 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 4: my son about that this kind of you know, arrows 66 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 4: and archers, you know, going after the arrows, and then 67 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 4: they go after the archers. You won't get the arrows. 68 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 4: I'm confident I think that that's why we use the 69 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 4: element of surprise to go after a lot of them 70 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,839 Speaker 4: in the beginning. It reminds me of scud hunting back 71 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 4: in ninety one when we did that during desert storm 72 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 4: as we had to do the same thing similar But 73 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 4: like anything else, some will get through, and you know, 74 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 4: we can't go through what we did six months ago. 75 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 4: Six months ago the United States fired about one hundred 76 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 4: and fifty THAD those high altitude air defense missiles and 77 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,160 Speaker 4: we can only manufacture about thirty of them a year, 78 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 4: and so we took five years of inventory out out 79 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 4: and use it just last June in that mission. And 80 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 4: we only you know, again we because of the complexity 81 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 4: of how their manufacturer rare worth minerals and specialized folks 82 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 4: that do that, you know, we just can't produce them. 83 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 2: We're not. 84 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 4: We just can't put another assembly line and produce it. 85 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 4: So again, the economics don't work, and so so again 86 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:48,039 Speaker 4: we've got to protect them and recognize that we're going 87 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 4: to have to do other things in order to take 88 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:53,159 Speaker 4: out their ballistic missiles and really go hunt them down. 89 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:55,600 Speaker 2: Just to back up a little bit, has there ever 90 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 2: in world history been anything like the decapitation operation that 91 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 2: happened over the weekend. 92 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,240 Speaker 4: I think sure. I mean, this is Israel m this 93 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:10,280 Speaker 4: is how they operate. This is part of their deterrence strategy. Frankly, 94 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 4: then if you decide to go to war with Israel, 95 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:16,040 Speaker 4: they respond keen x with anything that you might come 96 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 4: back at you. But the first thing they're going to 97 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,240 Speaker 4: do is go after their leadership. Now, the United States 98 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 4: can't do that. There's an executive order signed by Ronald 99 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,479 Speaker 4: Reagan going back forty years now that says the United 100 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 4: States won't assassinate heads of state. I think it's a 101 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:31,280 Speaker 4: slippery slope for us to do that. It gives a 102 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:33,919 Speaker 4: credence for other countries to try to do that to 103 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:35,719 Speaker 4: our president. That's not to say they couldn't do it anyway. 104 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 4: Obviously they're not going to necessarily abide by the wars 105 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:40,360 Speaker 4: of land warfare, but we won't do that. That was 106 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 4: one hundred percent Israel's mission. But we have seen that before, 107 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 4: but on this level probably not, probably not a country 108 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 4: with ninety million people, probably not. It's how and what 109 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 4: will be the result of that. But it's not just 110 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:55,599 Speaker 4: that the leader they took out, it's the forty others 111 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 4: that they have. But the message might be also who 112 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:02,280 Speaker 4: hasn't been taken out. We know Masad is clearly infiltrated. 113 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,160 Speaker 4: A lot of things going on inside of Iron. We 114 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 4: know that that's the case, and so they're searching now 115 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 4: for the Delta Rodrigaz. They're searching for the person that 116 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 4: that that created that Venezuela situation of Okay, everyone's dead 117 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,360 Speaker 4: except you. Do you want to play ball or not. Meanwhile, 118 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,480 Speaker 4: we know exactly where you are. We can find you anytime, 119 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:20,960 Speaker 4: so you could be the next contestant on you know, 120 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,719 Speaker 4: you're the next leader, or you can decide to you know, 121 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 4: not cooperate. You could be you won't. I mean, in 122 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:26,840 Speaker 4: this case, you won't be in the back of a 123 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,920 Speaker 4: special Force a helicopter. You're going to see the front 124 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,040 Speaker 4: side of the Tomahawk cruise missile. So that's how the 125 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:33,919 Speaker 4: Israelis operate, and that's how they're going to do, and 126 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 4: that's how they view Iran as an exidential threat. 127 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 1: I was just going to ask you what you thought 128 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 1: about the obviously awesome intelligence that we in Israel have. 129 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 1: What does that say about our capabilities and or the. 130 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:51,679 Speaker 2: The infiltration of the Iranian regime. 131 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:54,839 Speaker 4: Yeah, I saw a report too that said the CIA 132 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:58,039 Speaker 4: gave information we want to get in this game as well. 133 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,679 Speaker 4: But Israel has been doing this for you know, twenty years, 134 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 4: more than that likely, and this is how they operate. 135 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 4: It's the same thing they did with the Pager exercise 136 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,359 Speaker 4: when they you know, blew all the Hamas guys up. 137 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,800 Speaker 4: I mean, this is how they operate, and they take 138 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 4: great risks doing it. I'm sure there's been many Israeli 139 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 4: citizens that have unfortunately given their lives, have been burned, 140 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 4: and but this is all for the survival of that state. 141 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 4: That's how they operate. In theory, a country of ninety 142 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,679 Speaker 4: million should have no problem with a country of about 143 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 4: nine million. But in this case, you know, Israel continues 144 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 4: to dominate. It's just not just the military the hardware 145 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 4: side of it. It's just the the intel and the intellect. 146 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 2: Side of it. 147 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 4: Although again Iranians are smart people. They're persons, they're not Arabs. 148 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:41,760 Speaker 4: I think. I think in some way that's why they're 149 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 4: attacking those Arabs states as well. They look down their 150 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 4: nos that Arabs that they don't think they're the same. 151 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:49,400 Speaker 4: They're Persians, So I think that's that's also part of 152 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 4: their calculus. 153 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 2: It's interesting you said that. I remember, Joan, I went 154 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 2: out to eat with some at a Persian restaurant with 155 00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 2: some they'd like to call themselves the Persian these dudes. 156 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 2: It's truly nice guys we were friends with. But I 157 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 2: remember this them saying, man, those Arabs are crazy. We 158 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 2: got into the conversation about the Middle East. Yeah, they 159 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 2: had they had a certain view of all Arabs that 160 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 2: I had never heard before. 161 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 4: Yeah. I mean Persia has made significant contributions to civilization, 162 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 4: go back to the seven seven hundreds, eight hundreds, and 163 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 4: it's you know, part of the Ottoman Empire. It's it's 164 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:23,520 Speaker 4: had contributions. It's a smart civilization, which is why they 165 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 4: can create nuclear weapons. I mean they have that intellectual 166 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 4: capital and that you know that there's a reason why 167 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:30,480 Speaker 4: some of these other countries can't get there from here, 168 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 4: So they have that intellectual capability and the manufacturing and 169 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 4: the industrial base, and they do all those things. And 170 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:39,719 Speaker 4: that's that's why they're they're in the position they're in. 171 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 4: They're just led by ruthless people that want to see 172 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 4: the end of Israel and the state sponsor of terrorism. 173 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 3: So Trump said a little bit ago. 174 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,199 Speaker 2: I don't have the exact verbiage, but it was something 175 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:54,559 Speaker 2: like the big wave or the major wave or whatever 176 00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 2: is yet to come. 177 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:56,720 Speaker 3: Do you think that's true? 178 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 4: You know, if we're to show the other day with somebody, 179 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 4: it's like we can no longer be shocked about what 180 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,440 Speaker 4: Donald Trump says, right in terms of He's always going 181 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 4: to overseell something too as well. Right, so you know, 182 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 4: we we could have that might be true, but I'll 183 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 4: tell you right now, I'm sure the military. We saw 184 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,199 Speaker 4: this this thing this morning where the military came out 185 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:21,040 Speaker 4: and basically defined a military objective that can be accomplished, 186 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,560 Speaker 4: that can be eventually used to say this was our 187 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 4: endgame as well. So regime change is not something the 188 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 4: military can do. And Hesth said that today. It was interesting. 189 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:33,680 Speaker 4: So yeah, well it likely come. Sure, the next couple 190 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 4: of attacks could take place in the next few days, and 191 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:36,959 Speaker 4: Trump will say yeah, that's it. He'll point it and 192 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:38,960 Speaker 4: say that's that's what that was. Now do I like 193 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 4: my president doing that? No, I'd rather have him, you know, 194 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,600 Speaker 4: undersell somethings than over deliver on the other side. But 195 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:46,679 Speaker 4: we've just come to expect this is this is who 196 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:50,400 Speaker 4: Donald Trump is. It does maybe put more pressure on 197 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:52,079 Speaker 4: on the war fires at some level, but he doesn't 198 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,679 Speaker 4: he doesn't know any other way. He's always going to 199 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:55,480 Speaker 4: try to oversell it. 200 00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:55,719 Speaker 2: Right. 201 00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:59,080 Speaker 1: So we're talking to military analyst Mike Lines. Mike, if 202 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,520 Speaker 1: China were take this moment to move on Taiwan, how 203 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 1: bad would that be in terms of our ability to 204 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 1: do anything about it. 205 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:09,960 Speaker 4: So again, no one's talking about this, but the straight 206 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,680 Speaker 4: of remotes once it gets blocked. If it is being blocked. Now, 207 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 4: there's reports this morning China gets fifteen percent of its 208 00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:19,480 Speaker 4: oil from there. So the President's cut off Venezuela as 209 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 4: an emergency access of oil for China, and now fifteen 210 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 4: percent of it gets blocked off coming from the Middle East. 211 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:29,479 Speaker 4: China will now scramble when it comes to having reserves 212 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 4: in order to go to war. China is building underground tanks. 213 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 4: They recognize they need billions of oil in the ground 214 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 4: to make sure that they can go to war with 215 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,640 Speaker 4: tai one off. That's what they want to do. But 216 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:43,559 Speaker 4: right now this is going to put that actually more 217 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:45,720 Speaker 4: of it risk, because if they can't get the oil 218 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 4: or they try to buy it from Russia, which then 219 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,400 Speaker 4: doesn't help that cause because Russia now has more money 220 00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 4: to create more weapons to go after the Ukraine. So 221 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,640 Speaker 4: this is a vicious circle that takes place. Again no 222 00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,240 Speaker 4: one's talking about when it comes to the economics of 223 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 4: the energy trade. I think anyway, no matter what, we'll 224 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 4: have a hard time. You know two things. First of all, 225 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 4: the second that we're no longer reliant on Taiwan for 226 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 4: silicon chips, and we've created the founderies that we're building 227 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 4: right now in Texas. I just got back there and 228 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:16,760 Speaker 4: talk to some folks doing that. The second we can 229 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,400 Speaker 4: do that, then Taiwan becomes the Middle East of the 230 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:21,480 Speaker 4: nineteen nine. We're no longer relying on it for oil, 231 00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:24,360 Speaker 4: so we'll let China have it. I still have I 232 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,439 Speaker 4: know we have strategic ambiguity about it, and AOC stumbled 233 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:29,719 Speaker 4: upon didn't know how to answer it, because I think 234 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 4: deep down this president won't decide to attack China, potentially 235 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,560 Speaker 4: lose a West coast city just over Taiwan. 236 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:39,760 Speaker 1: Well, in AOC's defense, she's an idiot. Mike waians a 237 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:44,080 Speaker 1: military analyst. Mike, I'm sure we'll talk again. Thank you 238 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 1: so much for the thoughts and the expert seas and 239 00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:47,560 Speaker 1: we'll talk soon. 240 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:49,559 Speaker 4: Thany, guys, great, thanks for having me. 241 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 2: And then we mentioned this headline earlier this morning from 242 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:56,160 Speaker 2: the New York Times. If China invades Taiwan and cuts 243 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 2: off its chip exports, the tech industry in the United 244 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 2: States economy would be crippled. Yeah, so you got the 245 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:05,280 Speaker 2: oil angle, you got the chips angle. As Mike pointed out, 246 00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:07,360 Speaker 2: interesting times. 247 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,840 Speaker 1: We have released this is really distasteful. I'd like to 248 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:12,320 Speaker 1: apologize in advance. 249 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,400 Speaker 2: I know where you're going here. We have released the 250 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 2: dogs of war and they need it's. 251 00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 1: Important to keep the dogs of war healthy with rough greens. 252 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 2: Yes, the dogs of war need a live nutritional supplement 253 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 2: to add to their dog's food.

So 273 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,840 Speaker 2: the fact that they're laying the groundwork for that is something. Anyway, 274 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:30,800 Speaker 2: more on the way stay here. 275 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:38,960 Speaker 5: After launching a massive military strike against Iran, Trump announced 276 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:42,720 Speaker 5: hours ago that they officially killed the Supreme Leader Ayatoly 277 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,840 Speaker 5: Kameni and replaced him with Oh my god, the guy 278 00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:49,040 Speaker 5: from Venezuela. 279 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 2: What's an interesting joke. Yeah, that's funny. Yeah. 280 00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 1: The Venezuela situation, which is obviously not in the headline, 281 00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 1: is kind of interesting because the the kleptocrat fake communists 282 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:06,559 Speaker 1: are still in charge there, and it's not good. 283 00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:08,480 Speaker 2: I mean, Maduro's gone. He was a bastard. 284 00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:11,800 Speaker 1: But other than a little access to oil, conceivably, I'm 285 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:12,839 Speaker 1: not sure what we got. 286 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:16,480 Speaker 2: France just announced they're going to increase their number of 287 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 2: nuclear warheads from the current level of below three hundred, 288 00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:22,840 Speaker 2: first time they've increased the size of their nuclear arsenal 289 00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:26,040 Speaker 2: since nineteen ninety two. And throw this in just as 290 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,880 Speaker 2: kind of a hole, the whole world is just getting 291 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:32,760 Speaker 2: a little hotter in a little more jumpy, a little 292 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:36,320 Speaker 2: more ready to go. Oh boint don't like it. 293 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 3: I have no control over it, but I don't like it. 294 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:46,760 Speaker 1: Yipes coming up a really interesting back and forth about 295 00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:51,880 Speaker 1: the constitutionality of the attack on Iran, and I don't 296 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,920 Speaker 1: want to give too much away, but I think everybody's 297 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:59,240 Speaker 1: right in this argument, and they disagree with each other, 298 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,120 Speaker 1: so we'll talk about that. Plus, it just struck me 299 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,680 Speaker 1: last night as I was taking in all sorts of 300 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:08,800 Speaker 1: news that at that point we'd lost three of our 301 00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:12,880 Speaker 1: service people it's now up to four. And how we 302 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,520 Speaker 1: value life in the West in the United States and 303 00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:24,280 Speaker 1: are very we're very careful about not spending people's lives cheaply. 304 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 1: We cherish life in short, unless you're on the left, 305 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:32,600 Speaker 1: and it's a fetus anyway. But at the next report 306 00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:36,840 Speaker 1: was that there were protests at the American consulate in 307 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 1: oh one of your big Pakistani cities. 308 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:41,320 Speaker 2: I can't remember which one. 309 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:46,119 Speaker 1: Pakistan heights and nine people died at the protest. 310 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:50,480 Speaker 2: Wow. I mean there's a contrast for you, no kidding. 311 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,440 Speaker 1: I mean, they just spend lives like crazy in the 312 00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:57,240 Speaker 1: Muslim world because they believe, you know, you go to 313 00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,600 Speaker 1: Allah's side and have your virgins and your martyr and 314 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:01,720 Speaker 1: the rest of But yeah, they do not value your 315 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:02,280 Speaker 1: life at all. 316 00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 2: So there's Operation Roaring Lion and Operation Epic Fury. What's 317 00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:12,760 Speaker 2: the Roaring Lion part. I'm not clear on that myself. Yeah, anyway, 318 00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:14,480 Speaker 2: both are going on. Most of it seems to be 319 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:17,120 Speaker 2: Epic Fury. I'm not exactly sure why you have to 320 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:20,080 Speaker 2: have names like this for this sort of thing, as 321 00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:22,280 Speaker 2: I've been saying, this is for us, this is operation 322 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,960 Speaker 2: mediocre punditry that we've got going a weekly. You can't 323 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:26,760 Speaker 2: you can't. 324 00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:31,400 Speaker 1: Name it mediocre blooming DAFA or I'm sorry, Operation blooming Daffodils, 325 00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:33,760 Speaker 1: or anything true to have a hard ass name. 326 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,680 Speaker 2: It's just everybody knows that for sure. The fact that 327 00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:40,640 Speaker 2: Pete Heggsath didn't rule out boots on the ground and 328 00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:43,160 Speaker 2: Trump is not ruling it out, And I understand the 329 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:46,000 Speaker 2: whole not ruling things out, but I feel like they're 330 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:49,560 Speaker 2: laying the groundwork, maybe that they maybe actually think we 331 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:51,440 Speaker 2: might have to put boots on the ground to accomplish 332 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:53,600 Speaker 2: what we want to accomplish. So we got to make 333 00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:56,880 Speaker 2: sure we get out there on that. Boy, that would 334 00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:59,120 Speaker 2: be a big political story. 335 00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:02,320 Speaker 1: I would sure love to see their decision tree right now. 336 00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:04,400 Speaker 1: If this happens, then we will do this. 337 00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:04,840 Speaker 2: That and the other. 338 00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:07,920 Speaker 1: What would happen though, which branch of the tree includes that? 339 00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 2: Yeah? What would have to happen that we would actually 340 00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:16,159 Speaker 2: put soldiers on the ground. Now, the history of the 341 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,400 Speaker 2: world is I don't think there's ever been a regime 342 00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:22,280 Speaker 2: change forced through the air. But we don't have to 343 00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:25,520 Speaker 2: force regime change. That's not mandatory. We took out the 344 00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:27,480 Speaker 2: Ayatola and everybody underneath him. 345 00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:31,840 Speaker 1: As we discussed earlier, just declawing them for a very 346 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:34,439 Speaker 1: long time would be a win. Yeah, we got a 347 00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:36,439 Speaker 1: big win, but it's a win. We can pound them 348 00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:37,240 Speaker 1: for quite a while. 349 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:41,119 Speaker 2: Wait, that's stuff what Mike Lions was talking about though about. 350 00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:44,720 Speaker 2: You know how much of our super expensive high tech 351 00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:48,080 Speaker 2: gear has been expended already and at some point we 352 00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:50,800 Speaker 2: could run out of it. Now I understand why they 353 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:53,560 Speaker 2: attacked all those countries. They're just trying to wipe out 354 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 2: the capability of Israel in the United States to defend 355 00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:58,800 Speaker 2: against all these rockets and missiles. 356 00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:02,119 Speaker 3: Right, that's not a bad plan. 357 00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:05,320 Speaker 1: No, which is why we've got to pound the be 358 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,120 Speaker 1: Jesus out of them. Let's argue about the constitution next. 359 00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:10,480 Speaker 1: It'll be fun. Yeah, lotsaw on the way. If you 360 00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:11,359 Speaker 1: missed the sec made the. 361 00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:18,600 Speaker 2: Podcast Armstrong and Getty. The celebration is striking. 362 00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:23,080 Speaker 6: We got here just moments after initial reports initial rumors 363 00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:25,440 Speaker 6: of the death of iotl A. Kamm and A had 364 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:30,639 Speaker 6: just started to trickle from Iran to this diaspora community, 365 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:34,800 Speaker 6: and people were jumping in excitement, hugging each other, crying, 366 00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:38,320 Speaker 6: saying that basically they've been waiting forty seven years for 367 00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:42,040 Speaker 6: this very date. Is the reason so many of them 368 00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:43,640 Speaker 6: have come out here today. 369 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,679 Speaker 2: Celebrating, partying like crazy. Have you seen the video of 370 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:51,240 Speaker 2: all the Iranians doing the Trump dance after the news broke. 371 00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:54,879 Speaker 2: They're dancing to YMCA doing the Trump dance, American flags, 372 00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:59,119 Speaker 2: Iranian flags, Israeli flags all together. Now, I am all 373 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:03,040 Speaker 2: for the discussion about whether or not, you know, constitutionality, Congress, 374 00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:05,040 Speaker 2: all that sort of stuff. I'm troubled by it. But 375 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:09,439 Speaker 2: you can't do the long face, sad voice like they 376 00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:12,159 Speaker 2: did all week on an MSNBC while you're having the conversation. 377 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:14,199 Speaker 2: And Trump, of course, does not have the right to 378 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:16,760 Speaker 2: do this. When you got all these young Iranians who 379 00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:22,520 Speaker 2: are partying like crazy because the country that they love 380 00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:27,040 Speaker 2: has been freed, hopefully from this evil theocracy. And I'm 381 00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:29,879 Speaker 2: sure they all know people who've been tortured or killed 382 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:34,359 Speaker 2: or whatever by their own government. So MSNBC, geez, Rachel 383 00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:37,840 Speaker 2: maddowen all your democratic guesses, you gotta stop with the 384 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:41,120 Speaker 2: long faces. You're out of touch, You're on the wrong 385 00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:42,080 Speaker 2: side of history on. 386 00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:45,560 Speaker 1: This, which is why nobody watches them. They're Idio's true idiots. 387 00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,679 Speaker 1: Speaking of which, and the American left, this is so 388 00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:54,560 Speaker 1: amazing from Nelly Bowles. Zorn Mumdani, the new mayor of 389 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:57,880 Speaker 1: New York and his team are ousting military contractors from 390 00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:02,840 Speaker 1: the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Ay quote a council member celebrating 391 00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:06,560 Speaker 1: the decision, this public asset should not be leasing space 392 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,720 Speaker 1: to companies producing drones that are being transformed into weapons 393 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:13,320 Speaker 1: of war. It's part of the movement to quote demilitarized 394 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:14,680 Speaker 1: Brooklyn Navy Yard. 395 00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:18,560 Speaker 2: And of course now he asks, what the hell do 396 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:18,880 Speaker 2: they think? 397 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 1: The word navy means a shade of blue and some 398 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:23,960 Speaker 1: places authority. 399 00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:29,000 Speaker 2: That is pretty funny. I missed that demilitarizing the Navy yard. 400 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:32,160 Speaker 1: There you go, yeah, yeah, but genuinely is the idea 401 00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,399 Speaker 1: that America should not have a military, or just that 402 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:36,679 Speaker 1: people who build our air force shouldn't be allowed to 403 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:37,480 Speaker 1: live in Brooklyn? 404 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:38,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, unbelievable. 405 00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:43,080 Speaker 1: And on that topic, well sort of, Patrick said, guys 406 00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:46,560 Speaker 1: love the show, et cetera. I haven't heard much addressed 407 00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:48,960 Speaker 1: how can Trump go to war with Iran? I thought 408 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,760 Speaker 1: war was the purview of Congress, which brings us to 409 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:54,159 Speaker 1: a Twitter threat I came across which I found very 410 00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:56,840 Speaker 1: interesting and I will relate to you now. It starts 411 00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,920 Speaker 1: more or less with this, Hello Iranian here for those 412 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:04,560 Speaker 1: fixated on legality to excuse the regime in Iran. F you, No, 413 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:06,440 Speaker 1: I will not let you be my voice. You don't 414 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:08,359 Speaker 1: get to narrate my story. You don't get to claim 415 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,760 Speaker 1: moral superiority. You don't get to tell me my feelings 416 00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:16,080 Speaker 1: are wrong. It's interesting, it's a very lefty style of argument, 417 00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:20,080 Speaker 1: and it's irrelevant to the legality. On the other hand, Jack, 418 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:23,439 Speaker 1: I will say to you, if at some point you 419 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:26,000 Speaker 1: want to, we can go through it. It describes what it 420 00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:28,320 Speaker 1: was like, essentially to live under the regime, and it 421 00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:32,720 Speaker 1: is I would like to hear that chilling. But as 422 00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:34,520 Speaker 1: Tim Sander for a good friend of the Armstrong you 423 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,840 Speaker 1: get Hey points out, he says, this is understandable but wrong. 424 00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:40,320 Speaker 1: Of course, the iatolas are evil and should have been 425 00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:43,200 Speaker 1: destroyed long ago. Of course, the world's better off without 426 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:46,040 Speaker 1: these guys in it. But ignoring the constitution, letting one 427 00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:49,880 Speaker 1: person arbitrarily take the country to war is illegal, stupid, 428 00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:53,320 Speaker 1: and dangerous. As I said during the last segment talking 429 00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:56,600 Speaker 1: about talking about this, there are several people who are 430 00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:58,800 Speaker 1: disagreeing with each other, and I think they're all right. 431 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:02,479 Speaker 1: Chim witch Wi brings us to the interesting moment that 432 00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 1: we have in terms of war and Congress and presidents 433 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:06,119 Speaker 1: and the rest of it. 434 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:08,200 Speaker 2: Just in case you're a Tim fan and wondering where 435 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,480 Speaker 2: he is on this, It's all about the constitutionally of 436 00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:13,760 Speaker 2: the constitutionality of the decision. He did say in his 437 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:16,480 Speaker 2: first tweet over the weekend. If I were in Congress 438 00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:18,040 Speaker 2: and this came up for a vote, I would be 439 00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,959 Speaker 2: a hard yes, yeah on attacking Iran. 440 00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:22,640 Speaker 3: I just think Congress should make the decision. 441 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:23,120 Speaker 2: Yeah. 442 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:25,119 Speaker 1: In a system like ours, how you do things matter, 443 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:29,159 Speaker 1: So anyway, he says, this is understandable but wrong. What 444 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:32,199 Speaker 1: I just said, letting one person arbitrarily take the country 445 00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:35,920 Speaker 1: to war is illegal, stupid, and dangerous. Somebody with a 446 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,200 Speaker 1: name that certainly looks Iranian replies were not at war. 447 00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:41,920 Speaker 1: Military operations against terrorist organizations are not wars. Tim said 448 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,560 Speaker 1: that's just not true. If against him in an attack, 449 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,280 Speaker 1: they may be justified without a declaration, but that appears 450 00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:50,160 Speaker 1: not to be the case here. While entirely justified by 451 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:53,199 Speaker 1: any rational measure. The attack on Iran is obviously a 452 00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:59,320 Speaker 1: war that requires congressional declaration. And then the other person replies, 453 00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:00,840 Speaker 1: I think we have enough votes to do it. Put 454 00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:03,280 Speaker 1: the entire full force of our domestic economy behind it, 455 00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,960 Speaker 1: and this cancer once and for all. Like I said, 456 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:11,720 Speaker 1: I think everybody's right in this argument. The Constitution may 457 00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:14,080 Speaker 1: be well, first of all, it's the first and only 458 00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,280 Speaker 1: time in human history that a committee has come up 459 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:19,760 Speaker 1: with something brilliant. Because they did, the Constitution is a 460 00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:23,720 Speaker 1: miraculous success. But there are just a couple of areas, 461 00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:27,880 Speaker 1: like the declaration of war, where I think we need 462 00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:30,159 Speaker 1: to amend it or clarify it if we had a 463 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:34,119 Speaker 1: Congress that did anything. Because the nature warfare has changed 464 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 1: so much, So. 465 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:38,840 Speaker 3: Are we I think this is really interesting. 466 00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:43,920 Speaker 2: So are we assuming that, like what John Fetterman was 467 00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:45,200 Speaker 2: arguing earlier. 468 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:47,400 Speaker 3: That whatever declaration I had it in front of me. 469 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,960 Speaker 2: Under the TEA seventy three War Provision Act allowed or 470 00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:56,200 Speaker 2: power to do this. And as I mentioned earlier, Andrew 471 00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:58,800 Speaker 2: McCarthy of National Review, who I really respect his opinion 472 00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:02,440 Speaker 2: on this stuff, he said Trump was on the right 473 00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:05,399 Speaker 2: side of the law to do this, and he does 474 00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:08,760 Speaker 2: not always agree with Donald Trump by far. Yeah, I mean, 475 00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:09,800 Speaker 2: is this a war? 476 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:14,960 Speaker 1: Quote unquote, because when the Constitution was written to have 477 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:18,399 Speaker 1: a war, it always looked more or less the same. 478 00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:21,280 Speaker 1: It would take, you know, enormous amounts of preparation over 479 00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:24,280 Speaker 1: a very long time. You would send many, many, many 480 00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:28,919 Speaker 1: soldiers and ships and sailors, and everybody knew what you 481 00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:33,080 Speaker 1: meant by declare war. But now where you can launch 482 00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:37,760 Speaker 1: just devastating bombing raids from the US, refuel once or 483 00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:41,840 Speaker 1: twice in the air, then fly home without a touching down? 484 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:45,600 Speaker 2: Is that a war? Exactly? It's certainly an attack. And 485 00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,680 Speaker 2: I know this isn't a good argument because you can't 486 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:52,560 Speaker 2: change the Constitution or ignore it just because our current 487 00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:56,280 Speaker 2: climate doesn't fit with it. But there's no way you 488 00:24:56,280 --> 00:25:00,320 Speaker 2: could get Congress to approve anything ever like this, because 489 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:05,840 Speaker 2: they don't they all remember early two thousands when people 490 00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:10,240 Speaker 2: who voted for the Iraq war pretty much were blocked 491 00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:13,240 Speaker 2: out of getting re elected or ever running for president, right, 492 00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:15,199 Speaker 2: And they learned that lesson overlearned it. 493 00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:18,399 Speaker 1: Here's a response on the Twitter from a guy with 494 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:19,760 Speaker 1: an Israeli flag in his. 495 00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:21,440 Speaker 2: Id. 496 00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,720 Speaker 1: There the legislature is not trustworthy. They don't just leak, 497 00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:27,199 Speaker 1: they oppose an undermined look at all the insider trading 498 00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:29,880 Speaker 1: and trading, the grift, the fraud, the deceit, to see 499 00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:31,520 Speaker 1: how they fail to act on a build it. Over 500 00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:35,240 Speaker 1: eighty percent of Americans want they're not representing our interests, 501 00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:36,040 Speaker 1: only their own. 502 00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:39,000 Speaker 2: But yeah, I agree with that, But obviously you can't 503 00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:41,280 Speaker 2: just decide. So therefore we're just all going into more 504 00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:44,520 Speaker 2: Congress from here on out because they all suck. Clearly, Yeah, 505 00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:45,399 Speaker 2: one hundred percent. 506 00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:50,600 Speaker 1: We're in a really difficult moment for the declaration of war, 507 00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:52,560 Speaker 1: war powers, whatever you want to call it. 508 00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:53,320 Speaker 2: And I think. 509 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,600 Speaker 1: If we had the brains and the balls to do it, 510 00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:01,439 Speaker 1: we in Congress would address that in a a significant way. 511 00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:05,240 Speaker 2: I also don't because some people were arguing this before Maduro. Also, 512 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:08,639 Speaker 2: I also don't quite understand how you make it work 513 00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:10,880 Speaker 2: with a surprise attack. 514 00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:16,720 Speaker 1: Correct, that's the War Powers Act kind of addresses that 515 00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:20,320 Speaker 1: because you've got to well, although you've got to give 516 00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:22,520 Speaker 1: Congress forty eight hour heads up that you're going to 517 00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:24,240 Speaker 1: do something, and then you have sixty. 518 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:27,120 Speaker 2: Days day, you know, you don't think there are Democrats 519 00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:32,160 Speaker 2: that would leak this immediately give the heads up. 520 00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:34,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, one end that day. 521 00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:40,000 Speaker 1: The founder sure as hell didn't count on publicity, horror, 522 00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:45,600 Speaker 1: Instagram fund raising, you know, pieces of garbage. 523 00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:49,960 Speaker 2: And by the way, completely unfair to say democrats based on, 524 00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:53,160 Speaker 2: for instance, what Marjorie Taylor Green was tweeting out over 525 00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:54,879 Speaker 2: the weekend. I don't know if you saw any of that, 526 00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:58,919 Speaker 2: but and she's no longer in Congress, but if she 527 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:03,200 Speaker 2: were in Congress, she might I'd have said this, uh, 528 00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:04,960 Speaker 2: and just like that, we are no longer a nation 529 00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:06,040 Speaker 2: divided by left and right. 530 00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:07,440 Speaker 3: We are now a nation divided by. 531 00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:09,840 Speaker 2: Those who want fight wars for Israel and those who 532 00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:11,879 Speaker 2: just want peace and are able to afford their bills 533 00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:15,520 Speaker 2: and health insurance. She believes this is all just to 534 00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:19,360 Speaker 2: help Israel, and she tweeted out, my god as soon 535 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:22,200 Speaker 2: as it started, My god, these poor military members and 536 00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:24,760 Speaker 2: their poor families. I'm sorry for them and praying for them. 537 00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:29,320 Speaker 2: This is absolutely unnecessary and is unacceptable. Trump, vance Tulsey 538 00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:31,679 Speaker 2: and all of us campaigned on no more foreign wars 539 00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:34,960 Speaker 2: and regime changed. Now American soldiers are dead. So she's 540 00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:39,000 Speaker 2: hardcore against this and things it's a disaster. I think 541 00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:41,200 Speaker 2: she would have felt the same way in Congress, so she, 542 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:43,440 Speaker 2: as a Republican, might have leaked it if you get 543 00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:44,720 Speaker 2: up Za. 544 00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:48,359 Speaker 1: Sure well, the opposite party in general does whatever they 545 00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:50,840 Speaker 1: can to deny the other side. Quote unquote a whin 546 00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:53,600 Speaker 1: who called her the dumbest person ever serving the other 547 00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:54,200 Speaker 1: don't remember. 548 00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:57,359 Speaker 3: I think that was Daryl Isa. So that conversation came up. 549 00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:01,080 Speaker 2: I was watching h Isa was being interview former Republican 550 00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:07,880 Speaker 2: congressman and got hit with the Marjorie Taylor Green quote 551 00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:09,320 Speaker 2: that I just read you, and he said, I'd like 552 00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:11,359 Speaker 2: to remind you that Marjorie Taylor Green might be the 553 00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:17,080 Speaker 2: dumbest person ever serve in congrets. He's bond, bad built, 554 00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:21,440 Speaker 2: bush body. What's a hack of a thing to say? Yeah? 555 00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:24,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, the whole Israel. We're dancing to their tune. They're 556 00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:30,000 Speaker 1: pulling our strings. They're the puppeteers. Why would that be 557 00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:33,440 Speaker 1: because they've got dirt on Trump through Epstein, That's part 558 00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:33,720 Speaker 1: of it. 559 00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:40,800 Speaker 2: I can't even Yeah, So where does that leave the Jews? 560 00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:43,400 Speaker 2: In the fact that you got a lot of the 561 00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:48,760 Speaker 2: Democratic Party who doesn't care about supporting Israel and a 562 00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:53,320 Speaker 2: certain chunk of the Republican Party that thinks Israel is 563 00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:54,920 Speaker 2: controlling everything and it's horrific. 564 00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:57,640 Speaker 1: How big a chunk? That's the ever present question to 565 00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:01,320 Speaker 1: the very young. They're very low vocal, they're very online. 566 00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:04,280 Speaker 2: Enough to make Tucker Carlson and Candice Owens tens of 567 00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:07,320 Speaker 2: millions of dollars a year because they're very young and 568 00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:10,520 Speaker 2: very online. Yeah. I don't know how many they are, 569 00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:17,600 Speaker 2: but either the heck of a thing though. Yeah, I 570 00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:20,000 Speaker 2: saw a fair amount of that floating around on Twitter. 571 00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:24,920 Speaker 2: Launching another war, Israel is launching another war. They tell 572 00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:29,520 Speaker 2: us what to do. I don't understand how you can't 573 00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:34,719 Speaker 2: see this as without Israel involved at all, that this 574 00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:35,960 Speaker 2: is in the United States interest. 575 00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:38,440 Speaker 3: This is not Israel first. It's America first. 576 00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:40,880 Speaker 2: There's no benefit to the United States to Israel getting 577 00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:46,080 Speaker 2: a nuclear weapon. They've killed more Americans than any of our country. Yeah, 578 00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:49,080 Speaker 2: Iran getting a nuclear weapon.

Will of 662 00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:41,040 Speaker 2: the Washington Post conservative columnists, but his opinion piece today, 663 00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:43,840 Speaker 2: at last, the credibility of the United States deterrence is 664 00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:47,680 Speaker 2: being restored. Perhaps the thirty thousand protesters who perish in 665 00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:49,759 Speaker 2: Iran streets early. 666 00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:52,799 Speaker 3: In January did not die in vain, and he. 667 00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:56,279 Speaker 2: Talks about how important it was to re establish for 668 00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:59,880 Speaker 2: the safety of the world US deterrence. 669 00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:01,440 Speaker 3: You can't mess around with US. 670 00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:07,600 Speaker 2: A nator of post nineteen forty five US power and 671 00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:11,000 Speaker 2: its preconditioned confidence was the nineteen seventy five departure of 672 00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:13,840 Speaker 2: the last helicopter from the US embassy roof in Saigon 673 00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:16,680 Speaker 2: as the end of the Vietnam War. A second low 674 00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:20,920 Speaker 2: point was reached when Barack Obama drew in twenty twelve 675 00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:23,880 Speaker 2: and then ignored a red line about the chemical weapons 676 00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:25,960 Speaker 2: in Syria. We all know that a third was in 677 00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:28,680 Speaker 2: twenty twenty one, when Joe Biden produced a chaotic exit 678 00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:34,719 Speaker 2: from Afghanistan. Today, Vladimir Putin is watching Venezuela, Iran, and 679 00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:38,920 Speaker 2: soon perhaps Cuba joined Syria as vanished clients. The swiftness 680 00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:41,759 Speaker 2: of their downfall illustrates the hollowness of Russia's claim to 681 00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:45,000 Speaker 2: be a formal global actor today's world, where the velocity 682 00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:48,480 Speaker 2: of information and the capability of weaponry annihilate distances and 683 00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:53,080 Speaker 2: compressed time. Blah blah blah. Leads everybody to understand, because 684 00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:56,839 Speaker 2: I'm running out of time, that you can't miss around. Well, 685 00:35:57,080 --> 00:35:59,759 Speaker 2: he doesn't say this, but you can't blank around and 686 00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:02,160 Speaker 2: fire out with the United States anymore. 687 00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:05,560 Speaker 1: Right, right? How long will it last? What lessons will 688 00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:08,040 Speaker 1: be learned from this? However it plays out, Who will 689 00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:11,759 Speaker 1: be next in the White House? It all could change 690 00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:14,919 Speaker 1: depending on the answers to those questions. Of course, for now, yeah, 691 00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:17,280 Speaker 1: I would not f around. Yeah, I would take Trump 692 00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:19,160 Speaker 1: seriously if he warns you about things. If you missed 693 00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:21,800 Speaker 1: a segment or an hour, get the podcast Armstrong and 694 00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:22,840 Speaker 1: Getty on demand. 695 00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:26,320 Speaker 2: Armstrong and Getty
