1
00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:06,120
Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

2
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:10,720
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty arms Strong

3
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:11,320
Speaker 1: and get.

4
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:12,560
Speaker 2: Katy and he.

5
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:25,439
Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getty. That's great.

6
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 3: I mean, it was interesting to see him kind of

7
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 3: walk through his thinking around this meeting, and he's clearly

8
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:31,159
Speaker 3: coming into it in a different headspace than he was

9
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 3: the last time the two men sat down. He now acknowledges,

10
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:39,159
Speaker 3: at least to some extent, that Putin has strung him along.

11
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:43,880
Speaker 3: He says, know that Putin is the reason that there

12
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,839
Speaker 3: has been no end to this crisis, and he acknowledged

13
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 3: that he's not sure what's going to come out of

14
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:49,240
Speaker 3: this sit down.

15
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,479
Speaker 1: As I liked her saying that, or I'm happy to

16
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 1: hear that. I hope it's true, and sticks that Trump

17
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 1: has acknowledged that Putin is the reason this war is

18
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 1: still going on. Because my concern is he meets with

19
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: Putin and comes out, uh, you know, Friday afternoon or

20
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,320
Speaker 1: Saturday morning, and starts really leaning on Zelensky. The reason

21
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:10,679
Speaker 1: we can't get peace is Zelensky is just too angry.

22
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:13,400
Speaker 1: He did say the other day, is Zelensky's been there

23
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 1: for three years and hasn't accomplished anything. What how what

24
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:18,680
Speaker 1: was he supposed to accomplish in terms of a peace

25
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:23,400
Speaker 1: deal as he's tell us over the last three years. Uh.

26
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,199
Speaker 4: At the same time, the Kremlin's putting on a full

27
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:29,039
Speaker 4: court press. That I mean, for instance, here's one Putin

28
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 4: aid senior aide, Neo cons and other warmongers won't be

29
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 4: smiling when the two leaders meet. The Putin Trump dialogue

30
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 4: will bring hope, peace and global security. Though the Ukrainian

31
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 4: question has been declared to be the main item of

32
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 4: the agenda, much more important global issues are going to

33
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 4: be raised, according to other senior advisors to Putin, including

34
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 4: uh da da da da duh Uh there it is

35
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 4: uh ambitious plans for economic and infrastructure cooperation in the Arctic,

36
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 4: among other things. So they are now trying to cast

37
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 4: it as oh, yeah, yeah, we'll talk about Ukraine. But

38
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 4: this is time, this is the time for the great

39
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 4: reset on all sorts of issues before the between the

40
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 4: US and Russia.

41
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 2: To my mind, thereby dangling is a.

42
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 4: Prize for Trump, the ability to do what Obama and

43
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 4: Hillary and Biden and everybody else could not do, reset

44
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 4: relations with Russia.

45
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 1: Well, we talked about this at length in our one,

46
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 1: So if you're interested in you want to catch that,

47
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:33,639
Speaker 1: you can go to the podcast Armstrong and get you

48
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: on demand. I think that maybe the one of the

49
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,399
Speaker 1: big unknowns hanging out there is does Europe find its

50
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 1: balls its testicles and decide, Yeah, this is our We.

51
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,800
Speaker 4: Know what you meant by balls. We were good, we're solid.

52
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 4: But go on place.

53
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: Cohenny's kohen Cohenne.

54
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 4: It's gonads, if you will, it's sperm producing organs that

55
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 4: generally hang on the mail.

56
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,839
Speaker 1: Go on, yes, please please? Hitler had one.

57
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 2: No, that's a myth, but go.

58
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: Does Europe decide we've gotten economy as big as the

59
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 1: United States. We've got five hundred million people here that

60
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 1: are in the backyard of Russia. How about we decide

61
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 1: what the terms are going to be for an agreement

62
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 1: with Russia instead of the United States. Fine, go ahead,

63
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: that'd be awesome. I would love that. I think Trump

64
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 1: would love that. But are they going to or are

65
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 1: they just going to sit back and passively? Let imagine

66
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 1: imagine letting some other country, even if it is the

67
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 1: dominant United States, letting some under other countries so far

68
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 1: away come in and take care of this right.

69
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 4: If we were having it just a brutal dispute with

70
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 4: say Mexico, France would fly in and say, all right,

71
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 4: here's how it's gonna be right. But to can you

72
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 4: continue your delightful metaphor? The problem with Europe is they've

73
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 4: got like twenty three different sets of gonads, of various

74
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 4: sizes and shapes, and they don't agree on munch.

75
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 2: They pretend to, but they don't really.

76
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 1: Right. So when we talk about Europe, we already said

77
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: this earlier, but were in terms of standing up to Russia,

78
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: it would really be Germany, France, England and Poland probably

79
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: it'd be the main main people.

80
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 4: But the the Baltic states as well. You don't have

81
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 4: a Sensland's always good to count on too, but.

82
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 1: I don't have a sense of their economies and power,

83
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: because well that was one thing that God. There's a

84
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,159
Speaker 1: quote from George Schultz, if you're old enough to remember

85
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 1: George Schultze, he is one of the great diplomats of

86
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 1: the Reagan era or whatever, talking about.

87
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 4: Like a cartoon bloodhound smart man, though he did look

88
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 4: like a cartoon bloodhount.

89
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 1: Didn't we meet him once and do something with him.

90
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: I think we did.

91
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 2: I think so. Yeah.

92
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: But he has a quote about this sort of negotiation

93
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 1: where unless it's just a capitulation by one side, there

94
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 1: has to be some sort of power to force the

95
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 1: agreement by one side or the other, or a third

96
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 1: party like the United States. I mean, that's what we're

97
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 1: trying to do with our you know, tariffs, penalties on

98
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,719
Speaker 1: India for their oil and that sort of thing that

99
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: would hurt.

100
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 2: Rush, arms, shipments and the rest of it. Sure is.

101
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: And so the point of this quote was, is Europe

102
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 1: going to bring to bear any forcing mechanism, any power

103
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 1: to this so they can take control of the situation,

104
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 1: with the main thing being something they talked about up

105
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,840
Speaker 1: until a month ago. Putting a hundred thousand troops in there,

106
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,720
Speaker 1: and France and Germany and Britain, we're talking about their

107
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,480
Speaker 1: own troops there in Ukraine is a trip wire. Okay,

108
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: then that's what's going to establish the peace deal. If

109
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: they're willing to do that, then they've got some leverage.

110
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 4: Trump Putin does not want that, right, and the Euros

111
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:46,279
Speaker 4: are not willing to do it. Therefore we must snatch

112
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 4: putin the moment he steps on Americas so good transition.

113
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,239
Speaker 1: So we brought up the idea or I asked, like

114
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 1: a like a dullard that I am as a why

115
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: don't we just nab the war criminals coming to the

116
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 1: United States? Why don't we just say you're under arrest,

117
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 1: you take him to Washington, zc. Or wherever you're gonna

118
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,479
Speaker 1: take him and put him on trial for crimes against

119
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 1: the globe and and yeah, lock him on arms. And

120
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,159
Speaker 1: I I was asking what would be the Well, first

121
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: of all, how difficult would that be to do? And

122
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,479
Speaker 1: then secondly you've got what what would be the repercussions

123
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,279
Speaker 1: from that? How would the world react? I feel like

124
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 1: a lot of the world would love to have Putin

125
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 1: off the stage. I feel like maybe the people below

126
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,040
Speaker 1: him in Russia would say, oh cool, now we can

127
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:32,280
Speaker 1: get out of Ukraine and go back to running our oligarchy. Yeah.

128
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,600
Speaker 4: But at the same time, the idea of snatching up

129
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 4: foreign leaders that you have invited for a visit you

130
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 4: want to talk.

131
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:40,720
Speaker 1: About no, no, no, no no no no no no. It

132
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:44,279
Speaker 1: was Putin's idea. Putin's idea was Alaska. It was his

133
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,159
Speaker 1: idea to meet with Trump, and is his idea to

134
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 1: meet in Alaska. You want to come to Alaska? Yeah, yeah,

135
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 1: I think we could work that out.

136
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, what day?

137
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 1: Friday? Saturday?

138
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 2: How about Friday?

139
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:56,480
Speaker 1: Let's make it earlier anyway. So I talked to somebody

140
00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 1: very familiar with security for these sorts of things, like actually,

141
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:02,839
Speaker 1: has you know walked the walk on this sort of

142
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 1: thing around the globe. We were wondering about the security,

143
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 1: like does Putin get to bring his own, you know,

144
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 1: Secret Service basically? And then we got our Secret Service

145
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 1: and has everybody armed to the teeth? From what I'm

146
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 1: told by an expert, Putin brings an arm to detail, Yes,

147
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 1: and we provide him Secret Service protection. That's part of

148
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: what the Secret Service does. And then given how close

149
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: the summit is in Alaska to Russia, one would be

150
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 1: rightly concerned. This is about snatching up Putin and arresting him,

151
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 1: one would be rightly concerned about a military response from Russia,

152
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 1: which is next door. They would have a security room

153
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 1: probably there at the meeting too, and would start advising

154
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 1: the military if he was apprehended. It could be done,

155
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 1: but it would, but it would obviously be beyond the

156
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: Norman would set a terrible precedent for the world. Let's

157
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 1: skip over that part. This person said, if I was

158
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 1: planning how to do it, you got to knock out

159
00:07:56,720 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 1: all the communications there, kill the security detail, putin security

160
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 1: detail immediately. You'd have to then get get him as

161
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: far away from alask as possible. That'd be the only

162
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 1: way to pull it off.

163
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 2: Wow.

164
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, yeah, I would agree, having been studying the

165
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 4: methods for dealing with foreign leaders in their security needs

166
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 4: when they come to the United States. But get him

167
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 4: as far away from Alaska as possible. Yeah, okay, all right,

168
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 4: Well we've got great jets and all. What Connecticut, I

169
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 4: don't Maine, what would that Miami Beach? Take him to

170
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 4: Miami Beach.

171
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 1: Well, you kill a security detail, you got him on

172
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 1: a helicopter, you get him to a plane, you get

173
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 1: him out of there fast.

174
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 2: And then have Dick Cheney take over you know, one

175
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 2: of those black sites.

176
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 1: Right. Somebody did point out on the text line yesterday,

177
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: and I'm happy about this. We are not a signator

178
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:51,199
Speaker 1: to the international court that declares who's a war criminal.

179
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 1: We do not sign that because otherwise these other freaking

180
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 1: weird old countries would decide Dick Cheney was a war criminal.

181
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 1: And then he shows up in Paris for some meeting

182
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: and he'd be arrested right right because of something with

183
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,839
Speaker 1: Israel or who knows what. So we don't even believe

184
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 1: in that sort of stuff.

185
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 4: So, being curious about this whole topic, Guy dug into

186
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 4: it a little bit and came up with some pretty

187
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 4: interesting information.

188
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 2: And yeah, and Jack said, when a foreign.

189
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:19,839
Speaker 4: Head of state or government visits the US, they almost

190
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 4: always bring their own security detail with them. Those agents

191
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 4: are responsible for the leader's personal safety, often travel with

192
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 4: them on the same plane. They are physically very very

193
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 4: close to the leader. The US Secret Service is still

194
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 4: in charge. They have primary responsibility for protecting foreign dignitaries

195
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 4: who or visiting. The visiting security team works closely with

196
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 4: the Secret Service, cannot operate independently. They coordinate roots, venues

197
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 4: and security perimeters together. They usually carry firearms only after

198
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 4: special permissions and credentialings. In practice, the US Secret Service

199
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 4: handles the outer perimeter like I don't know, aluminum shed,

200
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 4: with a clear line of sight to the President and

201
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 4: the and the overall security plan. Well. The foreign detail

202
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 4: stays physically close to the leader, like right at their

203
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 4: side in public. And then I was digging into this

204
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,080
Speaker 4: on chat GPT, which is a great resource except when.

205
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 2: It lies to you. Can you imagine that.

206
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,679
Speaker 1: If that ever went sideways though for some reason, and

207
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 1: you got the arm to the teeth of Russian dudes

208
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 1: with the arm to the teeth US Secret Service both

209
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 1: protecting their each of the man, that would be quite

210
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 1: the scene. As I told my source yesterday, I said,

211
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 1: somebody's got to write this movie because that is an

212
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 1: interesting scene.

213
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:34,200
Speaker 5: Yeah.

214
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 4: I saw a similar scene that happened to be a

215
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:39,319
Speaker 4: couple of criminal organizations battling it out in the drama

216
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 4: Judy and I were watching. But yeah, it would be

217
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 4: it would be a blood path anyway. But it said,

218
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 4: I can give you real example of how this plays

219
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 4: out when say the British Prime Minister visits, And I said, no,

220
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 4: I'm more interested in an example where it's a foreign

221
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:54,959
Speaker 4: leader of an adversary like China, and chat GPT told

222
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,200
Speaker 4: me when it's an adversary nation like China, the dynamic

223
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 4: it's much more sensitive, but the basic structure is the same.

224
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 4: And I probably should have read about Putin, but it

225
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 4: was funny. Shixinping was the first person to come to

226
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 4: mind because he's been recently, though. My favorite part was

227
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 4: coordination is tense but formal. The two security teams meet

228
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 4: in advance, exchange very limited plans, agree on roots, motivate structures,

229
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 4: who stands where. The Chinese security team in this case,

230
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 4: and I'm sure Russia is the same, will usually insist

231
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 4: on driving in their own armored vehicles brought from China,

232
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 4: sometimes flown in with the delegation.

233
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:34,319
Speaker 2: Wow.

234
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 4: Weapons and legal permissions are tightly restricted. Extra surveillance on

235
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:44,440
Speaker 4: both sides. US counterintelligence teams, FBI, Diplomatic Security Service, and

236
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 4: others will monitor the foreign security personnel closely, not just

237
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 4: for safety but also to prevent or detect espionage. The

238
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,679
Speaker 4: foreign team may also be running its own counter surveillance

239
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 4: to spot potential threats or track where US personnel are.

240
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 4: And they actually go into the Chinese visit to Seattle

241
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 4: and Washington, d C. In twenty fifteen, and it's, uh,

242
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 4: it's interesting, and it's certainly the stuff of movies.

243
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 1: Uh.

244
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 4: But they break down further, step by step from the

245
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 4: inside out what the security is. And I'll just hitch

246
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:19,599
Speaker 4: you with the close in the inner ring of security.

247
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:21,960
Speaker 4: In the case of China, it would be the Chinese

248
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 4: Central Security Bureau. With Russia, it would be probably some

249
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 4: branch of the FSB. I don't know, but they're within

250
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:31,080
Speaker 4: arms reach, often two to six agents who move with

251
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 4: leader at all times. Leader at all times, immediate protection

252
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:37,239
Speaker 4: from sudden attacks, physical shielding, or rapid.

253
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 2: Evacuation, you know what.

254
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 1: These are the only foreign agents who might be armed

255
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 1: in the US. My favorite question, I feel like we've

256
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:46,680
Speaker 1: talked about this before and I don't remember who it

257
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 1: was with. But how crazy. So if if Trump swung

258
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 1: on Poutin or Putin swung on Trump and they're rolling

259
00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 1: actual fisticuffs, Okay, if they're rolling around on the floor

260
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 1: ror like gouging each other's eyes and stuff like that,

261
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:07,079
Speaker 1: who does what what happens?

262
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 2: I guess?

263
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 4: Well, so unlikely we're pitting a fat, old real estate

264
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 4: developer against an old kg B assassin.

265
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 1: Trump's weight ain't nothing, though, you know. Trump's taller and heavier.

266
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 2: By a lot.

267
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't see him moving fast enough to prevent

268
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 4: Putin putting a thumb clear to the back of his

269
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 4: eye socket and his Eyeball right, it isn't gonna be

270
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:33,199
Speaker 4: like a hockey.

271
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:34,839
Speaker 1: Match, though, I think where they all just back off

272
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 1: and let him fight. I mean, I assume the various

273
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 1: security details would get involved. I just don't know how

274
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 1: it would look. They're just gonna back off and let

275
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 1: him fight, let him work it out to be like

276
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 1: hockey refs. They'll just offer and they'll wait till somebody's

277
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 1: on the ground.

278
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:52,320
Speaker 2: They're really getting hell being out of them.

279
00:13:52,360 --> 00:14:00,320
Speaker 1: Okay, we got more next, So this is the top

280
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 1: five ways people slack at work.

281
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 6: Number five we have the hour before lunch, I'm hungry.

282
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 6: All I'm thinking about is I want to get the

283
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:12,199
Speaker 6: hell out of here. Number four the hour directly after

284
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 6: a meeting. Paying attention during the meeting has absolutely cooked me.

285
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:18,319
Speaker 6: Number three the hour after lunch, I'm depressed. All I

286
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 6: can think about now is how badly I want to

287
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 6: have a nap. Number two the first hour of the day,

288
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 6: quick socialized with the colleagues. Immediately looking to get a coffee.

289
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 6: I might turn my computer on and see if I

290
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 6: got an e urge of emails. Number one the last

291
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 6: hour of the day. I busted my ass all day.

292
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 6: Now it's time for me to start wrapping things up

293
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 6: and look for the exit door.

294
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, to clarify, obviously, it's the top five hours of

295
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 4: the day out of eight that you're going to waste

296
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 4: at work.

297
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 1: So if you I don't know about the meeting one,

298
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 1: but the other one's the hour before you end, you

299
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 1: could easily get into like short timers mode every day.

300
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 1: The first hour, you know, selling there's.

301
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 4: No point in starting something that you know rises you know,

302
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 4: I'll start it tomorrow.

303
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 1: And that first hour you're settling in, you're checking some emails,

304
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 1: some of them are personal, A lot of them are personal,

305
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 1: most of them are personal. And then before you get

306
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 1: around to your work, so now you've already killed two hours,

307
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 1: and then you got that hour after lunch where oh

308
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 1: I should eat so much, I'm so tired.

309
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 2: Oh oh yeah, yeah yeah.

310
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 1: It can easily be three hours of every day where

311
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 1: you're not very productive, which leaves you five.

312
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 4: So I dug back into the whole security detail thing

313
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 4: with Russian examples, and I will tell you this practically guaranteed.

314
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 4: The Secret Service that is in charge of this sort

315
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 4: of thing is frantic right now because to have Vladimir Putin.

316
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 2: What is it?

317
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 4: Was it the bearing straight between Russia and the US.

318
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 4: I mean it's a few dozen miles separating the two comes.

319
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 1: How why is the bearing straight, Katie or how close?

320
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 4: I think they said something like they're fifty five miles

321
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 4: apart at the Diomede Islands, Russia and the United States.

322
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 1: At its narrow ast, it's fifty one.

323
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 2: Well, there you go.

324
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 4: So you got Putin's personal protection that comes from the

325
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 4: Federal Protective Service, extremely tense and careful negotiations with his

326
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 4: armed bodyguards, his advanced teams, scouting every location. The FSO

327
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 4: is highly insulurred, deeply distrustful of foreign security services, especially

328
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 4: in the US. They'd want to physically control every interaction

329
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 4: Putin has in spite of the fact that the Social

330
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 4: Security I'm sorry, the Secret Service would be in charge.

331
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 4: Heavy counter intelligence presence of the FBI in all directions, just.

332
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 2: Very tense.

333
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 1: I wonder how much nipers from both sides, the latter

334
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 1: being closely monitored in and restricted in position so that

335
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:08,920
Speaker 1: nobody could get snatched up. Wow, of course it's the uh,

336
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:10,879
Speaker 1: it's what they talk about that matters. That's going to

337
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 1: come out of that thing. Inflation numbers came out. We'll

338
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:14,640
Speaker 1: talk about those days.

339
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 7: Israeli Company Defend Solutions CEO Zohar Halajmi says even off

340
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 7: the shelf drones can now be easily outfitted to drop

341
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 7: grenades or carry explosives. It is the latest concern of

342
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 7: lawmakers on Capitol Hill as they're calling for greater coordination

343
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 7: from federal agencies to protect large events like the twenty

344
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 7: twenty six World Cup and twenty twenty eight Olympics in

345
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 7: Los Angeles.

346
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:42,359
Speaker 1: Where the hell would I get a grenade? Though I

347
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:45,359
Speaker 1: suppose the evil doers would have grenades, so now I

348
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 1: don't know. Amazon, So all you need to do is

349
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 1: get a hold of some sort of explosive. You can

350
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 1: buy a drone anywhere and then fly it over whatever

351
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 1: event drop. I mean, that's it's inevitable.

352
00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:02,679
Speaker 2: Right, what a world.

353
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 1: So inflation news came out today and there's a lot

354
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 1: of concern about back on Liberation Day that there is

355
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 1: going to be horrifying inflation because of the tariffs. Well

356
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,879
Speaker 1: a lot of the tariffs got backed off until recently,

357
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:23,679
Speaker 1: so we haven't had the inflation we thought, YadA, YadA, YadA. Anyway,

358
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 1: it's interesting how the three main newspapers in America's headlines

359
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:32,119
Speaker 1: can be different. Wall Street Journal inflation held steady at

360
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:36,160
Speaker 1: two point seven percent, and right underneath it it says

361
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:40,400
Speaker 1: now rises after inflation report, which suggests good news. Right.

362
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 1: The New York Times, however, their headline is US inflation

363
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 1: report shows effects of President Trump's tariffs. Okay, that's not

364
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 1: at all what they said in the Wall Street drumk.

365
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 2: Wow, that's a leap. Those people are shameless.

366
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 1: And then the Washington Post most fairly non committal also.

367
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:05,400
Speaker 4: But he hang on a say, how does it staying

368
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 4: the same show the effects of Trump's tariffs?

369
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 1: Because well, they didn't all know it was going to

370
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:12,159
Speaker 1: go down. Miss I complained about this earlier. But so

371
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 1: they always hit you with the main inflation number in

372
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 1: these publications, and then they say in the second paragraph,

373
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 1: of course the number that economists pay attention to is

374
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 1: the core inflation, and that actually went up a little bit.

375
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 1: And my question would be, if this is the number

376
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 1: that matters the most, then why isn't it the main number?

377
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 1: Why are you giving me some other number and then

378
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 1: telling me this isn't really important, though, here's the number

379
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:36,879
Speaker 1: that's important. And then it went up a little bit

380
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:40,159
Speaker 1: and they're blaming that on tariffs. Wow, but it just

381
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 1: went up a tiny bit.

382
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:46,879
Speaker 4: M hmm, whatever, you know, speaking of money, this is

383
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 4: one of my favorite stories of the day, and it

384
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 4: is utterly unnoticed. You probably will not hear it from

385
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 4: anybody but us. But in Texas, where they're doing a

386
00:19:55,600 --> 00:20:00,160
Speaker 4: lot of good stuff with conservative governing, they they've.

387
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 1: Past is that they've passed a law.

388
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 4: Oh, it's a priority for this month's special session of

389
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 4: the legislature, and it has to do with something we've

390
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:13,680
Speaker 4: talked about for years, and it's one of my favorite themes.

391
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:20,399
Speaker 4: That is, when the government excess itself becomes so big

392
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:25,880
Speaker 4: and powerful, it becomes its own most important lobbyist. We're

393
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:32,679
Speaker 4: doomed if the very you know, machine of government decides,

394
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:34,639
Speaker 4: you know, feeding ourselves is what.

395
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 2: We're really about.

396
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:38,120
Speaker 1: And guess what we're right laws, we're doomed. So we're

397
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:38,919
Speaker 1: probably doomed.

398
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,399
Speaker 4: And as John the excellent John Fund rates in the

399
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 4: National Review, one of the biggest obstacles to government reform

400
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:49,399
Speaker 4: is bureaucracies using taxpayer dollars to lobby for higher taxes

401
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 4: than spending in a perpetual motion of big government growth. Particular,

402
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 4: that's exactly what I'm talking about. A long time problem

403
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 4: in Texas where County cities and even universities send armies

404
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:03,400
Speaker 4: of labbyists to the legislature and stemy good fiscal policy.

405
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 4: Now we're finally seeing some progress and curbing this problem.

406
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 4: Texas Governor Greg Abbott has had enough. He's made curbing

407
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:15,119
Speaker 4: taxpayer funded lobbying a priority for this month's special session

408
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 4: of legislature. The state Senate has approved a bill that

409
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 4: would prevent cities, counties, and school districts from spending taxpayer

410
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:30,400
Speaker 4: dollars to hire outside lobbyists. Wow, there's a state senator

411
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 4: who's a former county tax assessories observed local officials abused

412
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 4: their offices. He's a key supporter of the bill, he argued,

413
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:40,680
Speaker 4: quote quote, Texans are being taxed twice, once to fund

414
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,880
Speaker 4: local services and again to fund political lobbying they may

415
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:47,159
Speaker 4: not support. He cited a report by the Texas Public

416
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:50,440
Speaker 4: Policy Foundation that estimates that in twenty twenty three, local

417
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 4: governments spent almost ninety nine million dollars to hire contract lobbyists,

418
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:58,639
Speaker 4: which is a significant increase from a couple of years before.

419
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 4: Another sponsor the bill emphasizes that it would do nothing

420
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 4: to restrict local officials' ability to lobby. The state legislature themselves.

421
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:10,120
Speaker 4: He said, we just don't need a taxpayer funded lobbyist

422
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 4: middleman between our elected local officials and our elected state officials.

423
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 2: This is.

424
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:21,360
Speaker 1: A more important version of one of our favorite things

425
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:23,359
Speaker 1: that ever happened on our radio show, when one time

426
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 1: we ran two back to back PSAs government PSAs, so

427
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:31,359
Speaker 1: paid for by the taxpayer. Those are public service announcements,

428
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:36,480
Speaker 1: one suggesting you eat less dairy because it's bad for you,

429
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:39,200
Speaker 1: and then your taxpayer money on the next PSA explaining

430
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:42,160
Speaker 1: how you should eat more cheese. So one of them

431
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:45,359
Speaker 1: eat less cheese, one of them eat more cheese for

432
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 1: prior tax money.

433
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:50,640
Speaker 4: Oh my god, Hey, you got a laugh to keep

434
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:52,239
Speaker 4: from crying. Oh that reminds me.

435
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 1: But if you got taxpayer money going out and lobbying

436
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 1: for things that are the government, I mean, it's a

437
00:22:58,320 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 1: similar sort of deal.

438
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 2: That reminds me.

439
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 4: The new trend you need to know about this hour,

440
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:06,360
Speaker 4: because there will be another one next hour is.

441
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 2: Carnivore babies.

442
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:15,160
Speaker 4: Swapping puade fruit for ribbi, the rise of animal heavy

443
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 4: diets for infants and toddlers, concerns and perplexes pediatricians.

444
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:23,440
Speaker 1: Boy, I don't remember how much meat did my baby

445
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:26,399
Speaker 1: eat anny? I don't remember. Do you feed a baby meat?

446
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,360
Speaker 1: I don't even remember you do some.

447
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:32,719
Speaker 2: You know, I can skip to the end of this.

448
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:37,639
Speaker 4: Look, if you're a diet craze person, and I've known

449
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 4: a lot that.

450
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:42,680
Speaker 1: I feel like that, like jump on the new bandwagon

451
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:43,440
Speaker 1: all the time.

452
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 4: Or at least semi frequently. M Yeah, they're very enthusiastic

453
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:50,159
Speaker 4: about diet A. Then it's B, then it's C, then

454
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 4: it's D. And I think we've all worked with multiple

455
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 4: people like that. Some of them were very bright and

456
00:23:55,600 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 4: capable people. If you want to do that eating nothing

457
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 4: but meat and then go gluten free and then have

458
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:07,880
Speaker 4: nothing but whole grains or whatever, and then.

459
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 1: Nothing bigger through the lens diet, nothing bigger than the

460
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:15,160
Speaker 1: size of your fist, or only cave man ache cards or.

461
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 4: A caveman diet or what go ahead, go ahead, but

462
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 4: you're gonna do it to your infant.

463
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 2: Come on.

464
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 4: Daria Quinnville's infant daughter was ready for solid food, but

465
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 4: she skipped the mushed up avocado and banana on the menu,

466
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 4: instead raw egg yolk and puade chicken liver. Her child's

467
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:38,960
Speaker 4: Schizandra then moved on to sardines, butter, and ice pops

468
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,960
Speaker 4: made out of bone broth. She gnawed on a leg

469
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 4: of lamb.

470
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,879
Speaker 1: She would just teeth on it and soothe herself. Freaking

471
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:48,919
Speaker 1: bone broth people, You bone broth people wear me out.

472
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 4: She isandras what her mom calls a carnivore baby.

473
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 1: Meat.

474
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 4: That's right, sir. Most of her diet is meat, along

475
00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 4: with other animal source foods like eggs and and of

476
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 4: course oh oh.

477
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 2: Some parents, Uh oh, here you go. Here's the good part.

478
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 4: With the carnivore diet rising in popularity among adults, babies

479
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 4: and toddlers are getting in on it too, like they're

480
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:20,200
Speaker 4: deciding to mom swap tips. Think directions for whipped bone

481
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 4: marrow on Facebook forums with names like Carnivore motherhood.

482
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 1: If you say bone marrow to me, I exactly know

483
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:29,440
Speaker 1: what sort of person you are. That's all I need

484
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 1: to hear is those two words. I know what. I

485
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 1: know so much about you. If you say the two

486
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 1: words bone marrow.

487
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 4: I don't know what the bone barrow does for you,

488
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 4: but it makes my ass tired.

489
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:39,440
Speaker 2: That's the effect of that has of it.

490
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 4: Some parents say they're inspired by social media stars. A

491
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 4: handful of doctors who are raising their own carnivore babies

492
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:52,120
Speaker 4: have YouTube channels with hundreds of thousands, even millions of subscribers.

493
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,119
Speaker 1: You like the bone marrow Okay, you wore a mask

494
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 1: long beyond necessary, and we're all for the schools being

495
00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 1: closed down and voting for Kamala Harrison like mom Donnie,

496
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:04,879
Speaker 1: and all kinds of other things that go with bone marrow.

497
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 4: Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Junior, a carnivore champion, has

498
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:14,159
Speaker 4: loudly expressed as affinity for beef tallo. Yeah, the inevitable.

499
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 4: Some pediatricians are very concerned. Small children need vitamin C,

500
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 4: they need fiber, they need this, that and the other

501
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 4: for a functioning gut biome that are not prevalent and

502
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 4: meat heavy diet. Here's the crazy part, and this is

503
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:29,200
Speaker 4: never going to be an effing craze.

504
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 2: Pardon me, but this sort of thing makes.

505
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 4: Me nuts because people want the super super simple. I

506
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:42,160
Speaker 4: get the appeal of it on the chalkboard. No, all

507
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 4: I eat is this, and that's the way. Because a

508
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 4: caveman used to blah blah blah blah blah. No, you

509
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 4: know what cavemen probably eat plenty of leafy greens and

510
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:54,439
Speaker 4: berries whenever they found them. Anyway, it's got to be

511
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 4: just super simple for people to get it. But virtually

512
00:26:57,080 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 4: every responsible doctor they talked to said, yeah, the protein's

513
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 4: good for the kid, but it needs this and that

514
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:03,400
Speaker 4: and the other.

515
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:09,359
Speaker 1: How about you go for a balanced diet. Yeah, and

516
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 1: your child, Schizandra, Yeah, I understand weight loss crazes because

517
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,479
Speaker 1: you're desperate to lose weight and you're hoping that this

518
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 1: new one is going to work and the other ones didn't.

519
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:23,160
Speaker 1: Reality is, most studies have shown the one you stick

520
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 1: with is the one that works. So go with whichever

521
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 1: one you can keep doing. But uh, for your kid,

522
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:30,400
Speaker 1: who doesn't need to lose weight, I don't know why

523
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:31,480
Speaker 1: you get into a craze.

524
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 4: So this this might have been my favorite part of

525
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:39,400
Speaker 4: this article. Carnivor babies tend to have carnivore moms. Lorraine

526
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 4: b was trying to get pregnant when she stumbled upon

527
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:46,360
Speaker 4: YouTube videos from doctors promoting meat based diets for fertility.

528
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:50,439
Speaker 4: As a registered dietitian, you're herself, Yeah, I'm glad they

529
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 4: make them register, you know, like sex offenders. They ought

530
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:56,639
Speaker 4: to be on some sort of registry somewhere a bunch

531
00:27:56,640 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 4: of craze, pitch and nut jobs. Not all of you,

532
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 4: not all of you. All right, go ahead write your

533
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:06,879
Speaker 4: angry email anyway. So, as a registered dietitian herself, she

534
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 4: was skeptical about the meat based fertility diets.

535
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 2: I said, that's crazy.

536
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:14,880
Speaker 4: Then she became obsessed, watching hours of videos a day

537
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:17,879
Speaker 4: and devouring comments from women who said eating only animal

538
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 4: foods helped them conceive. So she went mostly carnivore two

539
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:22,879
Speaker 4: and a half years ago.

540
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 1: And didn't get pregnant, so they adopted a kid.

541
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:29,879
Speaker 2: But she's stuck on the carnivore diet now feeding it

542
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 2: to her a kid.

543
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:35,879
Speaker 1: There needs to be a law in journalism against finding

544
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 1: a nut job and then building an entire article around it.

545
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 1: That's like half of journalism in the modern world. So

546
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 1: she got obsessed with it and watched hours of videos

547
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 1: a day. That's not normal, and then it didn't want

548
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:50,720
Speaker 1: to her any good. That's completely abnormal.

549
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 4: Top But because she's a simpleton that needs to latch

550
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 4: onto the overly simple solution, she's stuck with it in

551
00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:58,920
Speaker 4: spite of lack of results, and now has become a

552
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 4: carnivore mom. Final note, her little girl is of course

553
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 4: on a carnivore style diet too. If it makes sense

554
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 4: for adults, why wouldn't it make sense for kids? She said,

555
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 4: as a licensed dietitian. She spoke those words aloud, registered dietitian.

556
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 2: That's right, put them on our registry.

557
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:23,440
Speaker 4: Isabella eats bits of eggs, shredded cheese, yogurt, and puade,

558
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 4: ground beef and chicken liver. She licks butter off a

559
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 4: spoon bunch of butter lickors and gets bone broth in

560
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 4: her bottle. There you go, there's your bone broth. The

561
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 4: tablo has four teeth, likes to gum, ribbis and lambones.

562
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 2: All right, great, good for you. Oh my god, Sahn

563
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 2: plug the internet?

564
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:48,160
Speaker 1: Well, I think the internet might kill off trends, which

565
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 1: would be a good thing, mostly because I saw the

566
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal the other day had in their fashion

567
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:56,479
Speaker 1: section the return of skinny jeans. Now, as far as

568
00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 1: I can tell, skinny jeans left like six months ago,

569
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:02,600
Speaker 1: and they've returned already, so most yeah, so, I mean

570
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 1: it's even last week. If something returns that fast, maybe

571
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 1: it'll just be the end of trends.

572
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 4: Well, right, you'd like to be a slavish follower of

573
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 4: whatever's hot. But you literally don't have time to get

574
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 4: to the store before.

575
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 1: That trend is over this afternoon.

576
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:20,960
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, that would be great.

577
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 1: God, how many years ago was it that Chris Rock

578
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 1: said here today, gone today? But that was like twenty

579
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 1: years ago, and he said that it's way more that

580
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:29,800
Speaker 1: now than it was then.

581
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 4: Hilarious, trends are over by the time you speak the

582
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 4: sentence required to describe them.

583
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:39,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, you and your bone.

584
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 4: Bag, all right, k f y b BB, keep feeding

585
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,560
Speaker 4: your baby bone broth all right?

586
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 1: More all the way, stare.

587
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 5: I think everybody knows that how this war ends, it

588
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 5: can be a good thing or bad thing.

589
00:30:57,840 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 2: If it ends in a way.

590
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 5: It looks like that Putin's overly rewarded.

591
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 2: There goes Taiwan.

592
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 5: You can't end a war without talking. I do hope

593
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:09,240
Speaker 5: that Zelenski can be part of the process. I'll leave

594
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:11,880
Speaker 5: it up to the White House, but I come on

595
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 5: your show a good bit. I want to be honest

596
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 5: with you. Ukraine's not gonna evict every Russia Russian and

597
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:22,120
Speaker 5: Russia is not going to keep so there'll be some

598
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 5: land swaps at the end.

599
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:28,680
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, Putin's trying to have more land swap. So

600
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:32,040
Speaker 1: this is breaking news. Moscow troops make massive advance in

601
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:36,120
Speaker 1: Ukraine days before the summit. They are now six miles

602
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 1: further in than they were two days ago and have

603
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 1: surrounded three more towns that they did not have control

604
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 1: of seventy two hours ago.

605
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:52,000
Speaker 4: And they want is a master stroke by the master manipulator.

606
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 1: Well plus, if it's gonna end up being a like

607
00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:01,960
Speaker 1: the rmbassador, the US Master to NATO, to the U

608
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 1: n whoever it was one of our investors, I think

609
00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:06,960
Speaker 1: our ambassador to NATO said, you don't get to have

610
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 1: any land that you haven't fought foreign control. Well he was,

611
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:11,320
Speaker 1: He's going to fight foreign control as much land as

612
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:14,800
Speaker 1: he can before maybe some sort of offer. I have

613
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 1: no idea.

614
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, expend whatever he has to expend right now to

615
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 4: a snatch up as much land as possible, having been

616
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 4: told by our NATO ambassador what he needed to do

617
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:30,280
Speaker 4: to keep the land. Nice job, and secondly make it

618
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:33,240
Speaker 4: clear that a I'll grab it all. Look how much

619
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 4: ground I've gained in the last couple of weeks unless

620
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 4: you give it you know, these regions to me that

621
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:41,280
Speaker 4: I'm asking for, or I will go nuts and take

622
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 4: it all, and you know, Trump might say, yeah, it's

623
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:49,720
Speaker 4: better for Ukraine if we settle right now. So Putin

624
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:52,880
Speaker 4: wins a lot. This is not all the time, but

625
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:54,720
Speaker 4: he wins a lot because he's brutal.

626
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 1: He's absolutely brutal. Bullies always win a lot until somebody

627
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:00,600
Speaker 1: is willing to stand up to them. That's just the

628
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 1: history of bullies. This is one of the When has

629
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 1: there been a high level meeting with more drama than

630
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 1: this one? I can't know if I can remember one.

631
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 1: You might have to go back to the Cold War.

632
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 4: But even then, they didn't have big meetings unless most

633
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:21,960
Speaker 4: of the agenda was already set.

634
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 1: You already knew what was going to happen.

635
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 4: Right, it was just a ceremonial with maybe a couple

636
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:29,440
Speaker 4: of details to be hashed out. But I mean this

637
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 4: is like all question marks.

638
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 1: Right, and personalities or tempers or whatever could flare. I mean,

639
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 1: it could have an impact, right, absolutely could. Trump said

640
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 1: yesterday he will call Zelensky. First first thing he'll do

641
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 1: is when he comes out of the meeting, he'll call,

642
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:52,120
Speaker 1: he said, as a as a sign of respect, I'll

643
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 1: I'll call Zelensky right away. So man, So let's he's

644
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:56,960
Speaker 1: got to be waiting by the phone for that one.

645
00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 4: What if our listeners suggested a convincing bald eagle like

646
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:05,960
Speaker 4: drone flying in through a window and taking Putin out?

647
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:09,440
Speaker 4: I don't think we can rule that out.

648
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:14,680
Speaker 1: I mentioned something earlier about Dick Cheney being a war

649
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:17,239
Speaker 1: criminal according to the rest of the world. We got

650
00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:21,879
Speaker 1: this text, Dick Cheney is a war criminal. You chirping minstrels.

651
00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:24,799
Speaker 1: Oh wow, wow, chirping minstrels.

652
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:25,280
Speaker 2: That's good.

653
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:26,799
Speaker 1: That's one of my favorite insults ever.

654
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:28,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's funny.

655
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:30,840
Speaker 4: As you spoke those words, I thought, well, you know,

656
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 4: there's some argument that but chirping minstrels style points. Well done,

657
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:35,360
Speaker 4: sir or madam.

658
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:37,759
Speaker 1: Hey, do we have a time on the summit with

659
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:40,200
