1 00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:15,320 Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 2 00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:19,360 Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe, Katty. 3 00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:31,680 Speaker 2: Armstrong and Jetty and he arms wrong man who live 4 00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:36,560 Speaker 2: from the studio c see signor on summer Eve. 5 00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:39,080 Speaker 1: We are in a dimly lit room deeper from the 6 00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:40,559 Speaker 1: bowels the Armstrong. 7 00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:41,639 Speaker 2: And Getty communications compounded. 8 00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:46,080 Speaker 1: Today we're under the tutelage of our general manager, Alexander Stubb. 9 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:49,640 Speaker 2: I don't know who that is. 10 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:58,000 Speaker 1: Alexander Stubb could be a pivotal figure in history. He 11 00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:02,440 Speaker 1: has to a large extent, convinced Donald J. Trump that 12 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:07,320 Speaker 1: Putin is a menace, a psychopath, and a liar. And 13 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:10,920 Speaker 1: part of the reason he has Trump's ear. Alexander Stubb 14 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:15,880 Speaker 1: the President of Finland. Really good golfer. Oh so Trump 15 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:19,880 Speaker 1: was playing golf with this dude, honest to god cool. 16 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 2: That's awesome. 17 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:24,040 Speaker 1: So whatever it takes, you think that played a role 18 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:29,080 Speaker 1: in Trump's a different view of Putin. It's practically guaranteed 19 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:33,039 Speaker 1: they've become buds. And if you know anything about Finland's 20 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:37,160 Speaker 1: history vis a vis the Soviet Union in Russia, the 21 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,959 Speaker 1: Finns don't play when it comes to Russian aggression. 22 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:42,240 Speaker 2: They know all about it. 23 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 1: No, As we were talking last week on the anniversary 24 00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 1: of dropping the bomb, the war in the Pacific really 25 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 1: started in thirty seven when Japan invaded China. The war 26 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 1: in Europe really started in thirty eight, is that what 27 00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 1: it was? Thirty six whenever Russian invaded Finland. They went 28 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 1: to war at a very high level, right at the 29 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 1: time that the rest of the Europe was exploding, and 30 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 1: it was a bloody, bloody battle. But you're right, Finland 31 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:14,799 Speaker 1: does not play no and incredibly tough, resilient and realistic people. 32 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 1: And this guy who he's really an interesting guy's like 33 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 1: a triathlon guy and an avid golfer, speaks five languages. 34 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 1: But he and Trump bonded and become buddies, and he's 35 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 1: been in Trump's here about Putin. Well good, you know 36 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 1: what I was thinking that I was thinking, I would 37 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:40,560 Speaker 1: love to see Trump. So there's going to be a 38 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 1: news conference. That's breaking news. It looks like there's going 39 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 1: to be a news conference after the summit. Trump and 40 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 1: Putin's standing up there taking questions. Really, that's what all 41 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 1: the reporting is. Wow, I know the Western press, Yeah, yeah, 42 00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 1: I know. My podcast I'm always talking about from Telegraph, 43 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 1: which is the best info on the war in Ukraine 44 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,520 Speaker 1: that exists on planet Earth, if you're into it. I 45 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 1: listen every day to at least part of it, and 46 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 1: I've got some really good stuff. They passed along yesterday, 47 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,519 Speaker 1: but they sent one of their reporters to be there. 48 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,800 Speaker 1: So the White House has not confirmed a press conference. 49 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 1: The belief is Trump never turns down a press conference, 50 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 1: and Moscow has said yes to a press conference. And 51 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 1: I was just thinking, you know, the things did not 52 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 1: go well in twenty eighteen when Trump was standing up 53 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 1: next to Putin. I don't know why they would lie 54 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 1: about intelligence, which was a horrible move, a horrible thing 55 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 1: for him to say. He took the side of Putin 56 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 1: over the United States, and it just I hated the 57 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 1: whole thing. But I would love it if Trump stood 58 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 1: up there and treated Putin like he treated Rand Paul 59 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 1: in the debate stad like he treated Chris Christy. I 60 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 1: would love if he did that sort of thing. I 61 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 1: would love if he turned to him and said, look 62 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 1: this guy. I've been dealing with this guy for years now. 63 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 1: Every word out of him is a lie. If he 64 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 1: told me it was three o'clock, I'd check my watch, 65 00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 1: he does nothing. I would love it if Trump because 66 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 1: we all know he's got that gear, right, treat him 67 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 1: like Rosie O'Donnell. 68 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 2: We know he's got that Wow. How careful. Now you're 69 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 2: going to start World War three? Wow? 70 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 1: I suppose that is one possibility of how it would go. 71 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 1: The other is much like the previous experience. But I'm 72 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 1: leaning more toward you know, the scenario you've painted. Oh, 73 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 1: that would be fantastic, That'd be great for the world. 74 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:28,159 Speaker 1: Just end this charade. Look, he's nothing but lies. Everything's 75 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 1: a lie. We know what he's doing here. He's just 76 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,240 Speaker 1: trying to drag this out. He kills civilians every single day. 77 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 1: He has no interest in peace. I would love for 78 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 1: somebody to stay that standing next to the guy right 79 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 1: right now. 80 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,720 Speaker 2: It's the truth. This is exciting. I know you're ready 81 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 2: to do a Saturday show. I'm ready, I'm in. I 82 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:46,920 Speaker 2: don't know. 83 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 1: I think the stakes are very, very high. I assume 84 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:54,839 Speaker 1: that national media is going for Eyeball's earballs and clicks 85 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 1: because the amount of time they're giving the cop situation 86 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 1: in DC versus the summon. 87 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:02,840 Speaker 2: I was watching ABC News last night. 88 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 1: They got cops in DC they got like four different 89 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,159 Speaker 1: disturbances on planes that are you know, one off, have 90 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 1: nothing to do with you, and a weather thing. And 91 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 1: then they get to like a one minute package around 92 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 1: Putin and Trump meeting. 93 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 2: This is a big freaking deal, the. 94 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:23,160 Speaker 1: News coming pivot point in history, absolutely a massive point 95 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 1: in history. Now some guy yelled something on a plane 96 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 1: gets gets the lead, or yet another storm somewhere, Oh 97 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 1: my gosh, life threatening heat threatens the eastern part of 98 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 1: northern Kentucky. Will go to Ginger z or chief meteorologist. 99 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:42,480 Speaker 1: What the hell if it's hot, wear a light shirt, 100 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:47,040 Speaker 1: all right, take off your jacket. There you go, training outside, 101 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 1: go inside. 102 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 2: I'll tell you what. 103 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,840 Speaker 1: If there is a press conference after that thing, whatever 104 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 1: I'm doing, I'm going to find a place to be 105 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 1: able to watch. 106 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 2: That because that'll be freaking something. Yeah. Wow wow. 107 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:04,240 Speaker 1: So here's what I learned from the Telegraph podcast yesterday. Now, 108 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 1: there is always in a war a massive operation going 109 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 1: on on both sides for obvious reasons. I think I 110 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 1: get the feeling that the first casualty of war is 111 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 1: the truth. Thing is presented like I don't know what, 112 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,599 Speaker 1: but of course it is. It's part of the job. 113 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 1: Of being at war is convincing your other enemy of 114 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 1: things that you know benefits you well and rallying your 115 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,400 Speaker 1: own side. Yeah, it would be incredibly important. It'd be 116 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:36,359 Speaker 1: malpractice if you didn't do that. But so the Telegraph 117 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 1: was reporting yesterday, the London Telegraph according to their sources. 118 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 1: Now this could be syops by Ukraine, but according to 119 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,480 Speaker 1: their sources, it's it's closer to accurate than the Russian 120 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 1: version of that whole they broke through the line and 121 00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:51,160 Speaker 1: gobbled up a bunch of land is just not true. 122 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 2: It's just not true. 123 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 1: A few guys here and there on motorcycles went through 124 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 1: the line. The line where this occurred is very poorse 125 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:01,039 Speaker 1: like the true are very far apart. 126 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 2: So you might have a mile where there's nobody. 127 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 1: So yeah, you could drive a dirt bike through there 128 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 1: and get way through there and claim you're there. But 129 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 1: Ukraine says the first group of there's three groups of 130 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:13,440 Speaker 1: two to six men. 131 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 2: That's it. 132 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 1: The first group they killed and they're hunting down the 133 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:18,840 Speaker 1: second group. But the second or third group and they'll 134 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 1: kill them too. They didn't establish anything, but it's just 135 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:25,680 Speaker 1: Russia trying to let the world know they're on the offensive. 136 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 1: They're gaining ground, so you know, we better come up 137 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 1: with something which is smart. Yeah, boy, this could go anywhere, 138 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 1: absolutely anywhere of the I don't know. You imagine five 139 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 1: different outcomes to this meeting, and in my mind, each 140 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 1: one is twenty percent likely, you know what I mean. Yeah, 141 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 1: just very very difficult to predict at all which direction 142 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 1: this might. 143 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 2: Go well, and Trump being such a wild card on 144 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 2: what he says. 145 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 1: You know, you just don't know what's going to happen 146 00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 1: there either, right, man, They're going through a lot of 147 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 1: scenarios on Morning Joe, which I watch because I know 148 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:07,720 Speaker 1: Trump watches it too. Of you know, Putin trying to 149 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 1: play Trump into a situation where they're both bad mouthing Zelensky. 150 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 2: Not impossible to see happen. 151 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 1: Right, right, But getting back to our general manager, as 152 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 1: Putin and his fellow KGB indoctrinated mind game, you know, 153 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 1: expert advisors, we're trying to figure out how to manipulate Trump. 154 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 1: I'll bet they didn't game plan. But what if you 155 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 1: like totally bonds with one of our most implacable critics 156 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 1: over the game of golf, Right, you know, it's a 157 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:46,040 Speaker 1: complicated beast that Donald j the most interesting thing I 158 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,440 Speaker 1: heard about the whole Europe thing.

Specifically, USAID reported failed to find any 338 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:43,639 Speaker 1: evidence that HAMAS engaged in widespread diversions of assistance. 339 00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:46,560 Speaker 2: Okay, here's what happened. 340 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:52,280 Speaker 1: So USAID, one of the offices that still is funded, 341 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:57,520 Speaker 1: does internal analysis tracking reports of waste, fraud, and abuse 342 00:18:58,040 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 1: of humanitarian aid in Gaza. 343 00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:02,600 Speaker 2: According to that report, over the covered. 344 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:06,639 Speaker 1: Period, which was eighteen months, they received one hundred and 345 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:11,240 Speaker 1: fifty six notifications of fraud, waste and abuse from their 346 00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:15,639 Speaker 1: NGO non governmental organization partners in Gaza, amounting to a 347 00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 1: loss of about five million dollars. 348 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:20,760 Speaker 2: The key finding was for. 349 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:24,040 Speaker 1: All one hundred and fifty six incidents, partners did not 350 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:30,080 Speaker 1: provide any information in their incident reports alleging sanctioned group 351 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:36,840 Speaker 1: or foreign terrorist organization involvement. Again, the key finding was 352 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:42,320 Speaker 1: our NGO partners did not say anything about foreign terrorist 353 00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 1: organization involvement. But when the analysis was leaked to legacy 354 00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:53,119 Speaker 1: news organizations, they reported something completely different that there was 355 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:58,240 Speaker 1: no evidence. They failed to find any evidence. There is 356 00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:01,680 Speaker 1: a world of difference. These are very different things. Oh 357 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:05,240 Speaker 1: my god, between notifications of made misuse and actual misuse 358 00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 1: and quoting Jonas do. 359 00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:08,879 Speaker 2: Here in an article. 360 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:13,960 Speaker 1: Two sources familiar with USAID and its analysis confirmed that 361 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:18,240 Speaker 1: they're the partner's failure to report terrorist involvement does absolutely 362 00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:21,000 Speaker 1: not mean there is no evidence of theft by Hamas. 363 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:21,640 Speaker 2: Quote. 364 00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:25,120 Speaker 1: The report appears to be wholly reliant on self reporting 365 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:29,359 Speaker 1: by UN agencies and NGOs who are extremely reticent to 366 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:34,080 Speaker 1: report Hamas interference out of fear of violent retribution by Hamas, 367 00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:35,440 Speaker 1: said a senior. 368 00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:37,240 Speaker 2: Official familiar with the USA report. 369 00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:40,479 Speaker 1: I was assuming it was because they're ideologically on the 370 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:45,240 Speaker 1: side of the Palestinians and Hamas and hate Israel. But 371 00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:48,800 Speaker 1: you're saying they're physically afraid. Wow, oh yeah, yeah. These 372 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,280 Speaker 1: are the NGOs that are on the ground. They do 373 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:54,600 Speaker 1: not dare call out Hamas for theft. So that's once 374 00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:56,480 Speaker 1: no matter that. The next story I'm going to do 375 00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 1: is another example of that's once more of radical Islam 376 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:03,360 Speaker 1: winning because Pete, because they threatened to hurt or kill. 377 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:06,000 Speaker 2: You, right. A couple more items. 378 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,560 Speaker 1: When the Reuters study or a story was published, quote, 379 00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:11,360 Speaker 1: nobody at the highest levels of the USAID administration had 380 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,960 Speaker 1: yet seen the report, said a senior official at the 381 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:19,440 Speaker 1: State Department. It was deliberately and intentionally manufactured and distributed 382 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:23,560 Speaker 1: to plant a deliberate false narrative. Worse yet, Hamas used 383 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:27,280 Speaker 1: Reuter's framing to fuel accusations of starvation and genocide against 384 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:31,000 Speaker 1: the US and Israel. Allegations of theft quote were reluctantly 385 00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:35,080 Speaker 1: recently refuted by an internal investigation by the USAID Agency, 386 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:39,320 Speaker 1: which confirmed the absence of any reports or data indicating 387 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:42,640 Speaker 1: the theft of aid by Hamas. Said a Hamas guy, 388 00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:47,320 Speaker 1: and that was dutifully reported by the mainstream media. If Hamas, 389 00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:50,840 Speaker 1: if there is evidence that Hamas was not stealing food, 390 00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,400 Speaker 1: it would be a very big story because that would 391 00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:57,840 Speaker 1: be incredibly out of character of their decades long reign. 392 00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,520 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, as a you know, a bunch of thugs 393 00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:04,480 Speaker 1: who steal stuff. It would be a seriously important headline 394 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 1: to say, Hummas no longer stealing aid. Yeah, as you said, 395 00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:12,480 Speaker 1: that would interrupt decades of And one more, very quick note. 396 00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:14,800 Speaker 1: We can get into this later maybe, but the UN 397 00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:20,920 Speaker 1: agency that actually declares we are in famine conditions or 398 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,879 Speaker 1: we have a proto famine, or we have a famine 399 00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:27,080 Speaker 1: quietly changed their standards in. 400 00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:31,439 Speaker 2: The last couple of months. Okay, it's unbelievable. 401 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:33,399 Speaker 1: Well, as Jonah Goldberg wrote the other day in the 402 00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:37,000 Speaker 1: La Times, famine is a plural word. To have a famine, 403 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:40,040 Speaker 1: you need lots of people starving. Why does the media 404 00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:42,320 Speaker 1: seem to be struggling so much to come up with 405 00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:44,440 Speaker 1: more than that one kid to put on their front 406 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:49,080 Speaker 1: page if there are so many people starving? Real quickly 407 00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:51,960 Speaker 1: they used to the standard was you had to find 408 00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:55,399 Speaker 1: thirty percent of children in an area suffering from acute 409 00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:58,160 Speaker 1: malnutrition is shown by comparing their weight to their height. 410 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:03,760 Speaker 1: Thirty percent comparing weight to height. The agency's July report 411 00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:08,879 Speaker 1: used another metric, mid upper arm circumference, a measure that 412 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,800 Speaker 1: can be done much more quickly and is considered less precise. 413 00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:15,960 Speaker 1: It also lowered the thirty percent threshold down to fifteen percent, 414 00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:20,120 Speaker 1: cut it in half, and changed what they measure. That's 415 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:23,280 Speaker 1: a pretty big shift in standards. One veteran eight insider 416 00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:26,680 Speaker 1: told the Washington Free Beacon, suggesting the IPC that's year 417 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:31,000 Speaker 1: Integrated Food Security Phase classification blah blah blah quote is 418 00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:32,760 Speaker 1: lowering the bar or trying to make it easier for 419 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:34,320 Speaker 1: the famine determination to be made. 420 00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:36,160 Speaker 2: The IPC report revealed. 421 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:40,200 Speaker 1: That shift through a small statement attached to an asterisk 422 00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:44,560 Speaker 1: under a graphic titled when is famine classified? 423 00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:47,880 Speaker 2: I was a very skinny kid. 424 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:51,640 Speaker 1: If you would have measured my arm's circumference in seventh grade, 425 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:54,879 Speaker 1: I'm sure I would have met the famine definition. I 426 00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:58,359 Speaker 1: had guns like Hulcoka and God Rest his soul. And 427 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:01,239 Speaker 1: then this story, here's another one of Islam winning the day. 428 00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:02,560 Speaker 1: And I had to get to the very end of 429 00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:06,119 Speaker 1: the story to understand why Toronto Film Festival it's second 430 00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:09,680 Speaker 1: only to the con Film Festival in terms of film 431 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:12,200 Speaker 1: festivals that are a big deal for your Hollywood elite, 432 00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:13,720 Speaker 1: and they all fly there and they go there and 433 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:14,280 Speaker 1: they watch. 434 00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:16,160 Speaker 2: The films that they talk about them on blah blah blah. 435 00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:19,680 Speaker 1: A new documentary about the October seventh attack on Israel 436 00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:23,280 Speaker 1: by Hamas has been booted from the Toronto International Film 437 00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:27,600 Speaker 1: Festival because organizers insist the filmmakers need the rights from 438 00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:30,920 Speaker 1: the terrorist group to use their footage in the massacre, 439 00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,640 Speaker 1: the footage that those Hamas guys got with the gop 440 00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:36,880 Speaker 1: pros on top of their heads as they raped grandma's 441 00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:39,439 Speaker 1: and shop babies and all that sort of stuff. The 442 00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 1: Toronto Film festival said, well, you don't have the rights 443 00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:44,600 Speaker 1: from them to use this, so we're not going to 444 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:47,159 Speaker 1: allow your film. And I thought, again, it was just 445 00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:51,400 Speaker 1: outrageous there on the side of hamas they hate Israel. 446 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:55,000 Speaker 1: At the end of the article they quote somebody the 447 00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:57,840 Speaker 1: New York Post said they learned that the film one 448 00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:02,920 Speaker 1: had insurance to protect its creators and festival from potential lawsuits. 449 00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:05,320 Speaker 1: On the actual legal part of it, I mean, who 450 00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:06,879 Speaker 1: is going to prosecute that case anyway? 451 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:10,240 Speaker 2: Almas and sources told. 452 00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:12,320 Speaker 1: The Post that the festival pulled the doc out of 453 00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:16,920 Speaker 1: concern that potential anti Israel protests would form in downtown 454 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:18,719 Speaker 1: Toronto and could turn violent. 455 00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:19,560 Speaker 2: Yeah. 456 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:21,400 Speaker 1: I was gonna say that rights things sounds like an 457 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:24,359 Speaker 1: excuse to me, and that's absolutely true. Yeah, the angry 458 00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:27,800 Speaker 1: Muslims will tear the place apart, so can't show it. 459 00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:31,920 Speaker 1: So once again, just keep retreating Western civilization. Keep retreating. 460 00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,240 Speaker 1: It'll be fine. And I always use the same example. 461 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:38,160 Speaker 1: The dudes that made South Park could make a musical 462 00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:42,760 Speaker 1: mocking Mormons. That was one of the biggest hit musicals 463 00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:44,840 Speaker 1: in America. Because the Mormons aren't going to kill you, 464 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:50,920 Speaker 1: go ahead, make a movie mocking Islam anyone and run 465 00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:54,200 Speaker 1: it somewhere.

Ideological? 503 00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:52,720 Speaker 2: Dam breaking, postponed confidence. 504 00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:58,360 Speaker 1: He's writing about Great Britain and how there has been 505 00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:04,399 Speaker 1: overwhelming agreement on the immigration crisis there, but people haven't 506 00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:09,320 Speaker 1: known it. They've been thinking and folks, this may sound 507 00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:11,760 Speaker 1: fairly familiar to you, particularly if you live in Blue 508 00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:16,040 Speaker 1: states where you had become a browbeaten into thinking. I 509 00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:20,880 Speaker 1: guess everybody's into this DEI stuff and the critical theory 510 00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:23,920 Speaker 1: and queer theory and men can become women. I think 511 00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:27,359 Speaker 1: it's insane, but I'm looking around and nobody's disagreeing, So 512 00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:30,040 Speaker 1: I guess I'm in the minority. Right. You joined the 513 00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:32,840 Speaker 1: pronouns on your emails just because you think you're supposed to, 514 00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:33,800 Speaker 1: not because you believe it. 515 00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:35,800 Speaker 2: Right and to avoid trouble. 516 00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:39,240 Speaker 1: Well, this guy's writing about how in Britain the powers 517 00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:42,719 Speaker 1: that be have been a straining mightily to keep people 518 00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:45,800 Speaker 1: from being able to express their opinions. But now that 519 00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:50,160 Speaker 1: it's happening, people are looking around and saying, no, I'm 520 00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:54,640 Speaker 1: not in a small minority of quote unquote bigots. Everybody agrees, 521 00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:56,959 Speaker 1: they just haven't let us say it out loud. And 522 00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,360 Speaker 1: it's a bit of a damn burst. So more on 523 00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:02,880 Speaker 1: that to come. Wow, that's pretty interesting. Yeah, yeah, And 524 00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:05,760 Speaker 1: we talked about that in another context. I think it 525 00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:13,280 Speaker 1: was the DEI thing, assumed acquiescence, assumed agreement. Where you're 526 00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:19,160 Speaker 1: sitting there in the humiliating racist Robin DiAngelo retraining to 527 00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:22,160 Speaker 1: convince you that white people are the source of all evil. 528 00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:24,960 Speaker 1: Blah blah blah, the whole dee I thing. And you're 529 00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:27,400 Speaker 1: looking around and you see one guy who looks like 530 00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:27,920 Speaker 1: he wants. 531 00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:30,520 Speaker 2: To say something, but everybody else is being quiet, so 532 00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:34,160 Speaker 2: I guess they agree. No, no, it's not. 533 00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:37,720 Speaker 1: It's the people who just can't bring themselves to standing 534 00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:41,000 Speaker 1: up and say, don't assume you know what, have more confidence. 535 00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:43,440 Speaker 1: That's what I would say. If you listen to something 536 00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:47,360 Speaker 1: and think this is looney tunes, trust yourself. You're probably right. 537 00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:48,960 Speaker 2: So we got mail bag on the way. 538 00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:52,600 Speaker 1: We'll jump back into the whole Putin Trump summit, which 539 00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:55,600 Speaker 1: I think is a huge deal that's happening tomorrow and 540 00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:57,000 Speaker 1: Alaska and a bunch of other news. 541 00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:59,520 Speaker 2: Hope you can stay here. 542 00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:04,960 Speaker 1: I just saw the video footage.

I usually just watch 615 00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:56,000 Speaker 1: for the football part, but I guess a lot of 616 00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:58,520 Speaker 1: guys are really upset over the cheerleading.
