WEBVTT - Let's Not Become Europe Today 0:00:10.920 --> 0:00:15.240 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:15.280 --> 0:00:19.840 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe, Katty arm Strong 0:00:19.880 --> 0:00:21.840 and Jettie and Key. 0:00:24.440 --> 0:00:38.320 Arms from Studio C see signor it's the first time. 0:00:38.120 --> 0:00:38.600 In a month. 0:00:38.640 --> 0:00:42.280 I've made it through that, Doug Coffing, that's fantastic progress. 0:00:43.120 --> 0:00:44.920 We're in a dimly lit room deep with from the 0:00:44.960 --> 0:00:48.560 bowels of the Armstrong and Getty Communications Compound. Hey, y'all 0:00:48.760 --> 0:00:53.199 on little Wednesday. We're under the tutelage of our general manager, and. 0:00:53.240 --> 0:00:55.400 I couldn't decide to keep going back and Forest, do 0:00:55.440 --> 0:00:56.560 you have a favorite funny? 0:00:56.600 --> 0:00:58.120 You would say that I was just. 0:00:58.120 --> 0:01:00.360 Reading the morning newsletter I read every single day for 0:01:00.400 --> 0:01:01.960 Mark Alburn, and he said this is the first time 0:01:02.000 --> 0:01:04.720 in his career he can remember where when he got 0:01:04.800 --> 0:01:06.839 up in the morning, he checked his top twenty five 0:01:06.959 --> 0:01:08.200 news sources and No. 0:01:08.440 --> 0:01:09.960 Two had the same headline. 0:01:10.560 --> 0:01:14.920 Oh, and that was the lead story in that it's 0:01:14.959 --> 0:01:17.959 so spread out over what people think is a big 0:01:18.000 --> 0:01:20.319 story today, which obviously we get to decide what we 0:01:20.360 --> 0:01:21.200 think is a big story. 0:01:22.000 --> 0:01:28.319 Sure, sure, and there are several. Honestly, if I was 0:01:28.360 --> 0:01:31.560 gonna go with one, I. 0:01:31.520 --> 0:01:37.400 Don't even know Biden's nodule, the backlash, the nodule. 0:01:36.959 --> 0:01:40.320 On his prostate, among other things. Where are you on that? 0:01:40.840 --> 0:01:42.360 Do you what do you think happened? I was just 0:01:42.360 --> 0:01:45.600 watching News Nation today is you're flipping around the channels 0:01:45.640 --> 0:01:48.240 and everything like that. MSNBC has decided to not cover 0:01:48.280 --> 0:01:51.440 the story anymore. I'll bet they got so much pushback yesterday, 0:01:51.480 --> 0:01:53.920 I bet they got killed by a lot of their viewers. 0:01:54.520 --> 0:01:57.920 Wow to if it even in a minor way towards 0:01:57.960 --> 0:01:59.400 sanity in the center, they get. 0:01:59.280 --> 0:01:59.840 Murdered for it. 0:02:00.440 --> 0:02:02.720 They even they kind of led the way on the whole. 0:02:02.800 --> 0:02:05.840 Wait a second, this timing is beyond suspicious. They were 0:02:05.880 --> 0:02:09.600 like the lead on that yesterday. So but they were 0:02:09.600 --> 0:02:11.520 the first person to have a doctor on questioning that, 0:02:11.639 --> 0:02:14.919 but didn't cover it all today News Nation though, they 0:02:15.000 --> 0:02:19.040 just stated it flatly, like not like even analysis, just 0:02:19.080 --> 0:02:21.880 like news analysis. The guy they talked to, there are 0:02:21.919 --> 0:02:25.160 no coincidences in Washington. So the release of the medical 0:02:25.200 --> 0:02:30.679 information about Joe Biden obviously timed to, you know, throw 0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:33.600 clouds over the her tapes and the book coming out. 0:02:33.680 --> 0:02:35.800 I mean, they just stated it as fact. Do you 0:02:35.840 --> 0:02:37.440 think that that's that clear? 0:02:38.280 --> 0:02:40.079 I just happened to read an email from one of 0:02:40.160 --> 0:02:44.119 our favorite correspondents who was rejecting that idea, saying that 0:02:44.960 --> 0:02:48.359 the announcement of the cancer thing would draw more attention 0:02:48.600 --> 0:02:50.880 to Biden's decline in age and that sort of thing. 0:02:50.880 --> 0:02:53.880 And I'm not buying the argument. I think it is 0:02:54.480 --> 0:02:59.160 injecting the cloud of sympathy, right and and and. 0:03:00.120 --> 0:03:02.320 You know, here's an old fellow with a dread disease. 0:03:02.360 --> 0:03:03.120 He's near death. 0:03:03.160 --> 0:03:07.720 We can't be talking about him critically. Yeah, that fits 0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:13.519 beautifully does. And the other explanation is inexplicable. Yeah real, 0:03:13.560 --> 0:03:16.720 they just never tested him and never had any symptoms. 0:03:18.000 --> 0:03:19.000 No, come on, I. 0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:21.079 Took in so much news coverag yesterday and I'd say 0:03:21.200 --> 0:03:25.160 ninety nine out of one hundred doctors say it's impossible. 0:03:25.440 --> 0:03:28.040 But they didn't know about this earlier. I mean, it's 0:03:28.160 --> 0:03:31.160 just doesn't That's not the way it works. You don't 0:03:31.200 --> 0:03:37.680 get to the level nine whatever reading on your prostate 0:03:37.760 --> 0:03:42.640 cancer the first time you get checked, right as president 0:03:42.640 --> 0:03:45.360 of the United States. But anyway, here's one aspect of 0:03:45.360 --> 0:03:48.080 it that we should not put up with as a people. 0:03:48.360 --> 0:03:50.600 I've been saying this for years. I wish we could 0:03:50.640 --> 0:03:56.480 demand as a as a self governing country to get 0:03:56.600 --> 0:03:58.560 information back. We should have been. 0:03:58.480 --> 0:04:02.240 Able to demand yes yesterday, the media should have demanded, 0:04:02.480 --> 0:04:06.440 and people should have fell in line, knowing that voters 0:04:06.600 --> 0:04:08.160 will not put up with anything short of this. 0:04:09.520 --> 0:04:11.960 The doctor that looked at Joe Biden should have been 0:04:12.000 --> 0:04:16.640 on TV yesterday afternoon answering the question did you ever 0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:18.640 check him for prostate cancer? 0:04:19.000 --> 0:04:22.080 If not, why not? And if yes, what were the results? 0:04:22.200 --> 0:04:26.760 That should have happened yesterday afternoon. There's no reason for 0:04:26.839 --> 0:04:31.040 it to not. It's the president of the freaking United States, right, 0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:34.400 What's what's the reason to compel that? Though I agree 0:04:34.400 --> 0:04:39.400 with you, such a PARENTCYS as a governing body, everybody 0:04:39.400 --> 0:04:44.359 should have to tell us everything, all the time, immediately. 0:04:44.160 --> 0:04:47.040 About their personal medical reality. That's a stretch. 0:04:48.160 --> 0:04:51.680 I'm not saying I disagree exactly, but it's a stretch. 0:04:52.760 --> 0:04:56.800 They do it physical every single year. They talk about it. Yeah, 0:04:56.839 --> 0:05:00.120 I think it in a completely dishonest way. Yes, I 0:05:00.160 --> 0:05:02.320 think it's perfectly reasonable to ask the question did you 0:05:02.400 --> 0:05:05.520 check for prostate cancer? Okay, you want to politically say 0:05:05.600 --> 0:05:08.400 it's none of your business, Okay, roll the dice on that. 0:05:08.520 --> 0:05:10.800 Go ahead and say it's not the public's business, my 0:05:10.839 --> 0:05:11.799 own personal health's. 0:05:12.880 --> 0:05:16.560 I find this a really interesting conversation. Up where do 0:05:16.640 --> 0:05:18.840 we draw the line? I mean, if if the president 0:05:18.920 --> 0:05:21.520 has a rash on his ass, does he have. 0:05:21.440 --> 0:05:22.320 To disclose that. 0:05:23.760 --> 0:05:32.440 For instance, No, it's got a tendency toward acne, dandruff, And. 0:05:32.400 --> 0:05:35.600 So where where do you draw the line? And I 0:05:35.640 --> 0:05:40.600 don't way on the other side of you had a cancer, 0:05:40.800 --> 0:05:45.400 that the treatment causes you to have mental difficulties and 0:05:45.440 --> 0:05:46.360 trouble walking. 0:05:47.080 --> 0:05:50.560 Yes, that is one of the leading theories at this point. Yes, 0:05:52.040 --> 0:05:55.120 I would agree. I just again, it's the practicalities of 0:05:55.120 --> 0:05:56.159 it that I'm getting hung up. 0:05:56.200 --> 0:05:58.160 Think a different topic then if you're if you if 0:05:58.160 --> 0:06:00.720 the medical one is too complicated for you, pick the 0:06:01.480 --> 0:06:04.240 dog bite one, or you know, any of the any 0:06:04.279 --> 0:06:07.039 of the many things that happened, somebody should have to 0:06:07.040 --> 0:06:08.520 answer questions immediately. 0:06:09.279 --> 0:06:12.359 Yes, yeah, I absolutely agree with you in principle, the 0:06:12.440 --> 0:06:13.400 dog bite one. 0:06:13.960 --> 0:06:15.880 That comes up because I was listening, I was watching 0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:18.800 a I was watching a podcast last night with reporters 0:06:18.800 --> 0:06:22.240 with with with one reporter making the point that early 0:06:22.320 --> 0:06:25.680 on in the Biden White House there they would cover 0:06:25.800 --> 0:06:29.480 up everything. He said, they wouldn't be transparent about the 0:06:29.560 --> 0:06:32.640 tiniest thing he said. At the very beginning, there was 0:06:33.160 --> 0:06:34.800 I don't know if you remember, way back, there was 0:06:35.160 --> 0:06:38.159 a wedding. Somebody in Joe Biden's family got married, and 0:06:38.200 --> 0:06:39.680 they got married at the White House, which you're not 0:06:39.720 --> 0:06:43.200 supposed to do because that's a you're just not supposed 0:06:43.200 --> 0:06:43.440 to do that. 0:06:43.440 --> 0:06:46.680 It's people's house, taxpayer thing. You can't do that clause 0:06:47.160 --> 0:06:49.680 whatever it is. And they light about that, and the 0:06:50.040 --> 0:06:53.039 reporter's like, this is so, I mean, why are you 0:06:53.120 --> 0:06:55.080 lying about this? I mean, you're not being honest about this. 0:06:55.279 --> 0:06:58.120 The dog bites, they weren't. They weren't honest about that. 0:06:58.960 --> 0:07:01.080 From the very beginning. There was a whole bunch of 0:07:01.080 --> 0:07:04.520 different things that the guy saw. These are minor incidents, 0:07:04.560 --> 0:07:06.800 and why are you covering these up? 0:07:07.080 --> 0:07:09.840 And it's just the way they operated. They weren't honest 0:07:09.880 --> 0:07:11.280 about anything ever. 0:07:12.160 --> 0:07:12.360 Right. 0:07:12.560 --> 0:07:16.080 I just don't know how to deal with this other 0:07:16.160 --> 0:07:18.680 than yelling about it on the radio. I mean, like 0:07:18.960 --> 0:07:24.280 Trump's first medical disclosures were hilarious. 0:07:24.720 --> 0:07:26.480 I mean, he wasn't even trying. 0:07:26.960 --> 0:07:29.280 He found a guy on the street who may or 0:07:29.280 --> 0:07:31.280 may not have been a doctor, who declared him the 0:07:31.280 --> 0:07:33.920 healthiest man to ever inhabit the planet Earth. And that 0:07:34.040 --> 0:07:36.320 was it was there a political price to pay, no, 0:07:38.240 --> 0:07:40.200 or at least not measurable. 0:07:40.320 --> 0:07:42.760 So I got the Jake Tapper book last night and 0:07:42.840 --> 0:07:44.640 I started into it, and I read quite a bit 0:07:44.640 --> 0:07:47.720 to go, and I've got some highlights from Matt. 0:07:47.480 --> 0:07:51.560 With the main takeaway being, first of all, it's hilarious. 0:07:52.440 --> 0:07:56.720 It's unintentionally hilarious, really completely unintentionally hilarious. 0:07:57.120 --> 0:07:59.440 They take themselves so seriously. 0:08:00.200 --> 0:08:03.120 They're letting the world know, they're pulling back the curtain 0:08:03.360 --> 0:08:04.920 and allowing you to get a glimpse. 0:08:05.080 --> 0:08:08.760 I mean, it's just that it's hilarious. Are you kidding? 0:08:08.840 --> 0:08:11.160 I mean they open with a Shakespeare quote on the 0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:14.240 first page before they get into it. I thought, you've 0:08:14.240 --> 0:08:17.120 got to be kidding. You're going now way too self 0:08:17.160 --> 0:08:18.080 important here. 0:08:19.280 --> 0:08:22.280 This really gets to are our core question about this? 0:08:22.400 --> 0:08:27.120 Your core question about this? The answer appears to be yes, 0:08:27.280 --> 0:08:29.720 Jake Tapper and the other fellow who did some good 0:08:29.720 --> 0:08:31.360 reporting for Axios. 0:08:30.880 --> 0:08:35.280 At the time or whatever it was. But Jake Tapper 0:08:35.480 --> 0:08:39.880 is that bubbled in, that self delusional. He doesn't know 0:08:40.000 --> 0:08:40.719 that we know. 0:08:41.520 --> 0:08:45.440 New That's one hundred percent right, I'm not trying to 0:08:45.520 --> 0:08:48.800 soften that at all, because you've got the evidence of 0:08:48.880 --> 0:08:53.160 polls showing that majorities of Americans knew. So if majorities 0:08:53.200 --> 0:08:57.839 of Americans new and with zero sources inside the White House, 0:08:58.520 --> 0:09:00.800 why do you need any of those of you have sources. 0:09:00.920 --> 0:09:03.679 But and it's not like we had a vague suspicion 0:09:04.080 --> 0:09:05.760 it was denigible. 0:09:06.000 --> 0:09:11.280 But it is more than I had realized. The tightest 0:09:11.320 --> 0:09:15.720 inner circle, we're lying to everybody like at the next level, 0:09:16.040 --> 0:09:19.120 Like I don't know how they're you know, Washington, d C. 0:09:19.280 --> 0:09:21.000 Is famously if you want a friend, get a dog, 0:09:21.280 --> 0:09:23.280 there are no you have no friends. I mean, everybody 0:09:23.320 --> 0:09:25.800 just doesn't what's in their best self interest. But I 0:09:25.840 --> 0:09:29.240 can't believe that there aren't more destroyed relationships. It'd be 0:09:29.360 --> 0:09:31.960 like if you were lying to me about something important 0:09:32.000 --> 0:09:34.400 to the show for years. 0:09:34.360 --> 0:09:37.360 And because I would obviously I would believe you. I mean, 0:09:37.400 --> 0:09:39.320 that's that's the way it was. 0:09:39.760 --> 0:09:40.040 It was. 0:09:40.160 --> 0:09:43.040 It was like senators who had worked with other people 0:09:43.160 --> 0:09:45.760 who were now you know, chief of staff or whatever 0:09:45.800 --> 0:09:47.640 in the inner circle for for decades. 0:09:48.280 --> 0:09:50.600 Yeah, who would say, damn, I'm a little worried about 0:09:50.600 --> 0:09:50.959 the president. 0:09:51.000 --> 0:09:53.400 I mean he looked roughly, don't trust me behind closed doors, 0:09:53.400 --> 0:09:55.680 He's fine, you know. And you take their word for 0:09:55.760 --> 0:09:58.439 it because it's somebody you've known for years. 0:09:58.440 --> 0:10:00.000 And you go out and repeat it yourself. 0:10:00.120 --> 0:10:03.000 Yes, because they wouldn't hang out to dry. This is 0:10:03.000 --> 0:10:06.240 somebody you've known forever, your close friends, and they did. 0:10:06.880 --> 0:10:12.200 They lied to like the people that have known forever. 0:10:13.480 --> 0:10:13.680 You know. 0:10:13.760 --> 0:10:15.800 I think in DC, and Lord knows, I'm not a 0:10:15.840 --> 0:10:18.760 student of that culture. I find it horrifying in every way. 0:10:18.760 --> 0:10:22.360 But I have a feeling that the brighter the light 0:10:22.640 --> 0:10:27.200 in front of you, meaning the greater the power in 0:10:27.280 --> 0:10:30.640 front of you, the less the little lights behind. 0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:31.600 You are even visible. 0:10:32.000 --> 0:10:34.680 I mean, if you're next to the ultimate power, that 0:10:34.880 --> 0:10:37.600 senator you worked with for twenty years, I don't even 0:10:37.720 --> 0:10:39.000 see his light anymore. 0:10:39.320 --> 0:10:44.960 Irony that Best Center, baby, because they're just crocodiles, those people. 0:10:45.040 --> 0:10:46.960 I guess I got one more thing on the cancer 0:10:46.960 --> 0:10:48.760 thing I want to say, But first we should start 0:10:48.760 --> 0:10:49.440 the show officially. 0:10:49.480 --> 0:10:51.600 I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe Getty on this. 0:10:51.720 --> 0:10:55.559 It is Tuesday, May the twentieth, the year twenty twenty 0:10:55.559 --> 0:10:57.679 five or Armstrong and getting we approve of this program. 0:10:58.400 --> 0:11:01.200 Yeah, remind me, Michael's gotta give me my monthly prostate 0:11:01.240 --> 0:11:03.200 exam during the commercial break. 0:11:03.200 --> 0:11:04.199 I don't want to forget. 0:11:03.960 --> 0:11:05.760 And full disclosure, we put all the pictures up on 0:11:05.800 --> 0:11:09.079 the website. Oh yeah, if you want to see them all, Right, 0:11:09.120 --> 0:11:10.880 here we go. Here's the beginning of the show. 0:11:10.920 --> 0:11:13.800 Officially now, according to the FCC rules regulations, here we 0:11:13.920 --> 0:11:14.920 are Mark. 0:11:15.400 --> 0:11:17.680 If they came out and said, yeah, Biden knew about 0:11:17.679 --> 0:11:19.840 it five years ago, I wouldn't be shocked. If they 0:11:19.880 --> 0:11:22.040 came out and said Biden found out on Friday, I 0:11:22.120 --> 0:11:25.920 wouldn't be shocked. And I understand the excitement over an 0:11:25.920 --> 0:11:30.000 insidious democratic cover up about Joe Biden's mental decline. The 0:11:30.120 --> 0:11:36.640 thing is, though, it was a terrible cover up because 0:11:37.480 --> 0:11:40.360 we all knew. 0:11:41.880 --> 0:11:48.760 That new accept the big Foot media, and they would 0:11:49.080 --> 0:11:53.199 just such a fascinating psychological study. Yes, not only were 0:11:53.240 --> 0:11:57.400 they unaware, they were angry at the very suggestion that 0:11:57.480 --> 0:11:59.959 it was true, including the guy who wrote the book 0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:04.000 I was reading last night. Oh scream that Laura Trump 0:12:04.080 --> 0:12:09.720 for claiming it wasn't the stutter. Yeah, I'll have to. 0:12:10.240 --> 0:12:12.200 I got some excerpts from the book that are funny. 0:12:12.280 --> 0:12:15.120 I'll do my screed about the playing on their emotions 0:12:15.120 --> 0:12:17.160 from the Biden family, which I think they're doing, which 0:12:17.200 --> 0:12:21.600 is just unconscionable. It is really unconscionable what they're doing. 0:12:21.920 --> 0:12:23.880 They should be ashamed of themselves. 0:12:24.120 --> 0:12:24.680 We'll get there. 0:12:24.920 --> 0:12:29.679 They lack the capacity apparently. Yeah, we got Katie's headlines 0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:30.920 on the way. We got lots today. I hope you 0:12:30.920 --> 0:12:31.480 can figure out. 0:12:36.000 --> 0:12:36.200 Man. 0:12:36.240 --> 0:12:37.920 The NBA has got to be happy that the New 0:12:38.000 --> 0:12:40.200 York Knicks have gotten on a roll because the final 0:12:40.400 --> 0:12:46.960 four teams are Oklahoma City, Minnesota, Indiana. 0:12:47.480 --> 0:12:49.959 And New York. That is not the star power they 0:12:49.960 --> 0:12:53.600 want or the big markets that they want. Oh probably not. 0:12:53.720 --> 0:12:56.719 I got lucky. New York made it in fantastic. I'm 0:12:56.760 --> 0:12:59.080 happy for them, the good folks, and they try real hard. 0:13:00.240 --> 0:13:00.440 Man. 0:13:00.480 --> 0:13:02.840 What a crazy show we have today. Just too much 0:13:02.880 --> 0:13:05.040 to describe, So let's dive into it. Let's figure out 0:13:05.080 --> 0:13:07.600 who's reporting what it's lead story with Katie Green Katie. 0:13:07.920 --> 0:13:12.160 Starting with NBC, Trump allies shift from well wishes to 0:13:12.280 --> 0:13:18.720 suggesting Biden hid his cancer diagnosis because he obviously did. 0:13:19.360 --> 0:13:22.040 The question is for how long? Yeah? 0:13:22.080 --> 0:13:22.480 What was that? 0:13:22.520 --> 0:13:25.360 Trump allies did that? Yeah? Trump? This is from NYC. 0:13:25.520 --> 0:13:28.000 Trump like Joe Scarborough. 0:13:28.080 --> 0:13:30.480 Yeah, right, I was listening to NPR on the drive 0:13:30.520 --> 0:13:34.040 in and they said, while initially offering well wishes. Later 0:13:34.080 --> 0:13:40.120 in the day, Trump turned to conspiracy theories about Biden's diagnosis. 0:13:40.920 --> 0:13:43.280 Is it a conspiracy theory? Really? 0:13:43.600 --> 0:13:47.079 Every single doctor I heard yesterday, like one hundred doctors 0:13:47.080 --> 0:13:47.839 said no way. 0:13:47.880 --> 0:13:49.000 They just found out about. 0:13:48.760 --> 0:13:50.600 This on Friday, every single one. 0:13:51.400 --> 0:13:52.359 I feel about. 0:13:52.120 --> 0:13:55.359 The phrase conspiracy theory very much like I feel about. 0:13:55.080 --> 0:13:56.520 The phrase fact check. 0:13:57.120 --> 0:14:01.360 It's an indication that the opposite is happening, but somebody 0:14:01.440 --> 0:14:04.480 is just trying to, you know, deny without denying. 0:14:04.559 --> 0:14:04.880 Please. 0:14:06.240 --> 0:14:10.480 From the Hill, Natanya who says Israel will control all 0:14:10.559 --> 0:14:13.319 of Gaza take over aid deliveries. 0:14:16.160 --> 0:14:17.840 The old weight didn't work very well, did it. 0:14:19.920 --> 0:14:24.160 From the La Times, Palm Spring's bombing investigation turns to 0:14:24.240 --> 0:14:25.320 the explosives. 0:14:25.520 --> 0:14:27.200 How are they sourced and built? 0:14:27.520 --> 0:14:30.160 Yeah, that's what I asked yesterday. Where does this guy 0:14:30.200 --> 0:14:31.600 learn how to build a bomb and where to get 0:14:31.600 --> 0:14:33.000 this stuff?

There are parts of. 0:15:43.760 --> 0:15:47.520 The South, including Louisiana, that have a reputation for being 0:15:47.560 --> 0:15:51.320 a little fast and loose and sloppy and corrupt and 0:15:51.400 --> 0:15:55.360 old boyish, and a number of different descriptors. This would 0:15:55.480 --> 0:15:59.600 not discourage me from thinking some of those cliches are true. 0:16:00.640 --> 0:16:03.560 These guys just broke out with ease, were gone for 0:16:03.600 --> 0:16:05.800 eight hours before anybody had any idea. 0:16:06.080 --> 0:16:07.880 My favorite part is they left the message we One 0:16:07.920 --> 0:16:09.880 of them left the message behind It said too easy 0:16:09.920 --> 0:16:12.800 spelled too easy y lol. 0:16:14.440 --> 0:16:19.280 From the New York Post, French pizza chef confesses to 0:16:19.400 --> 0:16:24.720 killing reclusive man, then shopping and cooking his body in 0:16:24.800 --> 0:16:26.200 a pot of vegetables. 0:16:27.280 --> 0:16:33.120 Oh delicious, a French pizza chef.

What does this mean? 0:17:02.120 --> 0:17:06.320 Explained it at length with examples in a way that Google. 0:17:06.000 --> 0:17:06.879 Could have never done. 0:17:07.160 --> 0:17:10.440 Oh no, no, sell your stock, yes, man, if you're 0:17:10.440 --> 0:17:13.080 not using chat GPT to answer simple questions, it's so 0:17:13.240 --> 0:17:14.560 much better than going. 0:17:14.600 --> 0:17:16.800 Or one of the other ones are terrific as well. 0:17:17.400 --> 0:17:20.639 You know the way I have stock in Oh sorry, 0:17:20.720 --> 0:17:21.560 I'll get out of the way. 0:17:22.119 --> 0:17:24.160 Some of the revelations from the book, among other things 0:17:24.200 --> 0:17:24.560 on the way. 0:17:24.600 --> 0:17:27.199 So they done, Armstrong and Getty. 0:17:28.520 --> 0:17:31.439 President now claiming quote some progress in the effort to 0:17:31.520 --> 0:17:33.880 end the war in Ukraine, saying he thinks Putin quote 0:17:33.960 --> 0:17:36.879 has had enough, but Putin giving no indications Russia is 0:17:36.920 --> 0:17:39.879 any closer to a ceasefire. President Trump now saying he 0:17:39.920 --> 0:17:43.160 will leave it up to Ukraine and Russia to negotiate 0:17:43.200 --> 0:17:43.520 for now. 0:17:43.640 --> 0:17:46.399 What about the Putin call? Remember we had a clip 0:17:46.400 --> 0:17:49.600 of that. What was that about? Show years ago? The 0:17:49.640 --> 0:17:50.440 Putin call? 0:17:50.600 --> 0:17:52.399 That's from like eight years ago, so I don't remember 0:17:52.480 --> 0:17:55.160 it at the very beginning of Trump one. Yeah, any who, 0:17:55.840 --> 0:17:58.520 Trump was on the phone with Vladimir Putin for about 0:17:58.520 --> 0:18:02.480 two hours yesterday and takeaway seems to be I'm gonna 0:18:02.520 --> 0:18:06.840 let them work it out. Which where does that leave things? 0:18:06.880 --> 0:18:10.560 It leaves it as a win for Putin? I think yes, 0:18:10.640 --> 0:18:14.800 although the ball is in Trump's court because he has 0:18:14.920 --> 0:18:18.479 not said, at least as of yet, Okay, if you're 0:18:18.520 --> 0:18:20.400 going to let them work that out, does that mean 0:18:20.520 --> 0:18:24.639 them working it out while we continue to give a 0:18:24.680 --> 0:18:29.520 tremendous amount of aid intelligence aid? Maybe being the most 0:18:29.520 --> 0:18:33.159 important to Ukraine or not, because if it's or not, 0:18:33.560 --> 0:18:34.320 it's a big deal. 0:18:35.520 --> 0:18:36.000 Yeah. 0:18:36.720 --> 0:18:38.840 I feel like those of us who would like to 0:18:38.880 --> 0:18:42.960 see the US backing Ukraine are digging through about our 0:18:43.119 --> 0:18:47.879 fifteenth pile of manure looking for the pony in Trump's negotiations. 0:18:49.240 --> 0:18:53.159 Just this, maybe he's got this up his sleeve, you know, 0:18:53.359 --> 0:18:56.840 feeling or hope. It's just it's been dashed over and 0:18:56.880 --> 0:18:57.399 over again. 0:18:57.480 --> 0:18:59.320 Well, he does have to go one way or the other. 0:18:59.400 --> 0:19:02.159 We are either going to continue to back Ukraine the 0:19:02.200 --> 0:19:05.879 way we have for three years or not. And if 0:19:05.920 --> 0:19:08.040 we're not, that's a major change. 0:19:08.800 --> 0:19:11.000 I think it's more likely that one happens. 0:19:11.080 --> 0:19:14.240 Will he announce it or will it will it just 0:19:14.240 --> 0:19:18.000 become evident at some point, I don't know, after this 0:19:18.080 --> 0:19:25.440 period of Zelensky in Ukraine and Europe doing everything conceivable conceivable. 0:19:24.960 --> 0:19:27.119 To make it clear we want peace too, We're with 0:19:27.200 --> 0:19:32.639 you on this and putin never giving a single sign 0:19:32.920 --> 0:19:35.080 that he has any interest in Trump's piece too. No, 0:19:36.760 --> 0:19:40.720 if the US policy becomes well then you all are 0:19:40.760 --> 0:19:42.320 on your own. We're not going to support a Ukraine. 0:19:42.400 --> 0:19:45.119 Well then we've but it's not a nothing. We've cided 0:19:45.119 --> 0:19:46.880 with right now. In my opinion, I know one hundred 0:19:46.920 --> 0:19:47.960 that's exactly my point. 0:19:48.040 --> 0:19:51.920 Yeah, And what seemed to be the lean is indeed 0:19:52.280 --> 0:19:55.520 coming true. It was it was less than Putin showing 0:19:55.560 --> 0:19:58.159 you wasn't interested in peace right now. He gave Trump 0:19:58.240 --> 0:20:02.640 a long lecture of about why Ukraine belongs to Russia, 0:20:02.680 --> 0:20:06.080 and he said this will not end until the underlying 0:20:06.080 --> 0:20:08.879 problems are solved. Well, the underlying problems will not be 0:20:09.000 --> 0:20:11.520 solved until he has Ukraine correct. 0:20:11.600 --> 0:20:12.480 Yeah. Yeah. 0:20:12.800 --> 0:20:15.000 As Rich Lowry writes in The National Review, the play 0:20:15.040 --> 0:20:16.760 for the Kremlin is obvious here. It wants to keep 0:20:16.760 --> 0:20:19.359 pinching ahead with territorial gains, and if it continues to 0:20:19.359 --> 0:20:22.359 string along the negotiations, has to hope that Trump tires 0:20:22.400 --> 0:20:24.639 of the whole thing and cuts off USA to Ukraine. 0:20:24.880 --> 0:20:28.320 That would reward Putin's intransigent with an important diplomatic victory 0:20:28.320 --> 0:20:30.840 is split between the US and Europe, and a chance 0:20:30.880 --> 0:20:34.119 to make major advances against an increasingly hard pressed Ukraine. 0:20:35.800 --> 0:20:39.239 And the only reference really to Trump being tired of 0:20:39.320 --> 0:20:43.200 Putin and understanding that he's being played was that reference 0:20:43.280 --> 0:20:48.000 to Putin's tapping me along, But I mean to come 0:20:48.040 --> 0:20:49.920 out of the call yesterday and say, yeah, I think 0:20:49.960 --> 0:20:51.760
