1 00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:07,400 Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 2 00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:12,000 Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty, arm Strong 3 00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:26,560 Speaker 1: and Gatty, and he Armstrong and Getty. And even today 4 00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:29,920 Speaker 1: she still thinks her husband would have made a good 5 00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:33,960 Speaker 1: president if he had stayed in the race. Of course, 6 00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:35,839 Speaker 1: he would have made a good president. He made a 7 00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:39,440 Speaker 1: good president the four years he was there. I mean, 8 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,960 Speaker 1: to me, he was the best president. What a waste 9 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,239 Speaker 1: of freaking time. And that's doctor Jill Biden on her 10 00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:48,159 Speaker 1: interview yesterday, And she's going to do a bunch more 11 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:50,519 Speaker 1: and I hope somebody at some point presses her on 12 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,559 Speaker 1: these issues. But you know, I suppose in reality, what 13 00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:56,000 Speaker 1: is she supposed to say? What is she going to say? There? 14 00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,200 Speaker 1: As the wife of an old man in his final 15 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,560 Speaker 1: days of life, maybe she's supposed to say, Oh, clearly 16 00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:05,600 Speaker 1: he would have sucked. The brain doesn't work right, you know. 17 00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,840 Speaker 2: Come on, Well, that raises the question, though, then why 18 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,319 Speaker 2: are we going through this exercise at all? Well, I 19 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,560 Speaker 2: was gonna say, anybody who that old bad is going 20 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:15,160 Speaker 2: to lie to us? 21 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,559 Speaker 1: Why am I watching this? Anybody who buys her book 22 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:19,840 Speaker 1: and reads it never talk to me stay away from me. 23 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:21,720 Speaker 1: You're not the sort of person I ever want to 24 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:25,640 Speaker 1: engage with. I can't imagine anyone buying that book and 25 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:31,200 Speaker 1: reading it. Fine, Oh, Michael, Michael's halfway through it. Jack, 26 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,840 Speaker 1: I should have said something. He's been loving it, you know. 27 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,960 Speaker 1: So I've been debating whether to bring this up or not, 28 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 1: but it's pretty interesting. So I'd been mentioning that journalist 29 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 1: Mark Alpern, who does a TV show every afternoon on 30 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 1: YouTube or a bunch of other platforms. He has a 31 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 1: Democrat and a Republican on every day, and he has 32 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,440 Speaker 1: been incensed about this whole thing from the beginning. The 33 00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 1: media coverage. He calls it the biggest media cover in 34 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 1: our nation's history, the fact that they did not report 35 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,920 Speaker 1: on what everybody could see and acted like it wasn't happening. 36 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:16,959 Speaker 1: But the Democrat on there said, look, I fooled myself, 37 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 1: He said, I look back on it, and I think, 38 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 1: how could I be so blind to that. I saw 39 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 1: this stuff on TV and I just convinced myself that 40 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,080 Speaker 1: it's is not as bad as everybody's saying, or this 41 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 1: is you know, a Trump people trying to make it 42 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,960 Speaker 1: worse than it actually is, or he's got a stutter 43 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 1: or everybody misspeaks every now and then he said, I 44 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 1: myself don't know how I blinded myself to this. I 45 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 1: find it disturbing. And so the reason I bring that up, 46 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 1: it's not a politics thing. I just just for everybody, 47 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:55,119 Speaker 1: all human beings in their own lives. Are we apparently 48 00:02:55,840 --> 00:03:01,400 Speaker 1: that capable of deluding ourselves if we want a specific 49 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 1: thing to be true or not true. Apparently some more 50 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 1: than others. Yeah, it's disturbing that somebody who's at least 51 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 1: arguably accomplished enough and articulate enough and bright enough to 52 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 1: be on that sort of form would be self delusional 53 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 1: like that. 54 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 2: That's disturbing to me. Well, it depends how invested you are. 55 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 1: Think about if you've ever known anybody talking about their 56 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 1: husband or wife or kids and they're laying out the 57 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 1: story and you think, whoa, I mean, they're a train wreck, 58 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 1: And how do you not recognize that this is like 59 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 1: a serious problem. It's because you want an outcome so much, 60 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 1: And maybe if you're in politics, you want an outcome, 61 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 1: like you want your husband to not be as bad 62 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 1: as he seems, or wife or kids or whatever. Yeah, Yeah, 63 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 1: I just think it varies from person to person. 64 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 2: It's probably like, you know, the spectrum of virtually any 65 00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 2: human emotion or psychological function, from you know, the logic 66 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 2: to complete delusion. You have you know, self delusion and 67 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:07,440 Speaker 2: rationalization on a scale. 68 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 1: Some people don't do it at all, some do. We 69 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 1: have that Orwell quote Orwell saying that the hardest thing 70 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 1: to do is to see something that's right in front 71 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:16,719 Speaker 1: of one's nose. 72 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:23,040 Speaker 2: So all right, right, well, he famously is one of 73 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:27,479 Speaker 2: my intellectual heroes obviously, and a brilliant, brilliant man. But 74 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 2: he was a dedicated socialist and then you know, realized, 75 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:36,559 Speaker 2: oh yeah, this doesn't work among human beings. It's prone 76 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 2: to disaster and torture and totalitarianism and the. 77 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 1: Rest of it. 78 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,599 Speaker 2: So and I don't think it's a discredit to somebody 79 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:45,840 Speaker 2: like Orwell, for instance, that they fell for something that 80 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 2: could never work. 81 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 1: Well he had in spite of his brilliance. It's not 82 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:53,480 Speaker 1: a DISCREDI fit. It turns out we're all capable of 83 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,679 Speaker 1: deluding ourselves if we want a particular outcome bad enough 84 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 1: of whatever it is. And and that's a disturbing thing 85 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 1: to think about. What what do you really want? To 86 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 1: be true or not true, and you're just not dealing 87 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:08,279 Speaker 1: with the facts on I don't. 88 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 2: Know what where are you on a scale of one 89 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 2: to ten. That's what I'm trying to tell you repeatedly. 90 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 2: I think some people are not very prone to that 91 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 2: at all, and some people are very, very prone to it. 92 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 1: Well, you'd have to think that Georgia Orwell wasn't very 93 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 1: prone to it. Yet he would you im do that? Huh? 94 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,599 Speaker 1: Why would you? Why would you think that? I don't know. 95 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,359 Speaker 2: I think it's independent of intelligence. It's it's a tendency 96 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 2: like height, or being a worrier or being cheerful versus 97 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 2: being kind of a door into an introvert. 98 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,840 Speaker 1: I also think it'd probably be something that it's impossible 99 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:46,599 Speaker 1: for you to diagnose yourself. Agreed, You agree no idea 100 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,839 Speaker 1: yourself to where you would be on that scale. Well, 101 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:50,479 Speaker 1: I know I. 102 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 2: Got to disagree with that too, and I certainly I've 103 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 2: never thought about this in depth, so I stand ready 104 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,799 Speaker 2: to be corrected. I think if you're on the brutal 105 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 2: realist end of things, your diagnosis is better because you 106 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:06,600 Speaker 2: tend not to. 107 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 1: To self delude. 108 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 2: I don't know, the self delusional cannot diagnose themselves as 109 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,360 Speaker 2: delusional because they're or delusional is too strong a term, 110 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:16,040 Speaker 2: but you know what I mean. 111 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 1: So then the question would be how much of the 112 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 1: media and political class were in the self delusion thing 113 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,840 Speaker 1: because they wanted a particular outcome so bad, and how 114 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 1: many people knew exactly what they're doing but they're just 115 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:30,239 Speaker 1: flat out lying. 116 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, I assumed it was ninety eight percent cynicism by 117 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:36,719 Speaker 2: the political class who just figured they could get the 118 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 2: soft heads to go along with it. If that guy's 119 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:44,760 Speaker 2: being sincere, it's fascinating again and somewhat terrifying or at 120 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 2: least a little scary. Wait a minute, Wait a minute, 121 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 2: Wait a minute. What he was like whispery and forgetful 122 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 2: and would wander around and had to be guided and 123 00:06:55,080 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 2: his speeches were either angry, sputtering or like just slow paced. 124 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 1: You didn't notice. 125 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 2: That, Oh the line just just an articulate crazy, you know, 126 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 2: making stuff up Joe Biden and. 127 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 1: Then uh uh, Joe, you didn't notice that. So the 128 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 1: Joe Biden interview, which you probably didn't watch, was an 129 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 1: embarrassment of journalism. It's one of the most embarrassing things 130 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 1: that's ever happened. In the history of journalism, the fact 131 00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 1: that they did not bring receipts and drill down on 132 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 1: various things that she was denying. I mean, I suppose 133 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,560 Speaker 1: on one level you could. It would seem a little cruel, 134 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 1: But I mean, you are a journalist talking to somebody 135 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,559 Speaker 1: who's written a book about this, about a very important topic. 136 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 1: You could have shown clips and say this happened, you know, 137 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 1: three years before the debate, explain this on the whole. 138 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 1: You never saw him like that before or after. 139 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 2: I mean, I just I think your problem here is 140 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 2: you're asking Hockey Night in America to talk about golf. 141 00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 2: That show is an old bat talking in gentle tones 142 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,040 Speaker 2: for the entertainment of old bats who are getting ready 143 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 2: to go to church. 144 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 1: In the morning. It's not journalism. Okay. Well, let's hope 145 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,200 Speaker 1: that in the coming days, as Joe Biden continues to 146 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,239 Speaker 1: go out there and hawk this book, that she runs 147 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,520 Speaker 1: into some journalists that are gonna, like really push her 148 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 1: on that out because the most ridiculous thing she says, 149 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 1: of all the ridiculous things, is I never saw him 150 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 1: like that before or after we did. 151 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,800 Speaker 2: How come you didn't, Well, yeah, you're right, he'd have 152 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 2: been a great president his second term. 153 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,760 Speaker 1: That's pretty ridiculous too. Yeah. 154 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,720 Speaker 2: All right, hey a word from our friends, but in Cognate, Yes, 155 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 2: my biggest comment about the entire interview, that's got nothing 156 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 2: to do with our answers after this. 157 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:44,840 Speaker 1: All right, every. 158 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,200 Speaker 2: Spam call you get, every scam text, every sketchy email 159 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:48,839 Speaker 2: with your name on it starts the same way somebody 160 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:50,680 Speaker 2: found you had a dad or broker's site. Right now, 161 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 2: all your personal info is on sale on the internet, searchable, 162 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,079 Speaker 2: and every scam starts with one thing. Your personal info 163 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 2: is available to the wrong people there.

Will it come out? 333 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,240 Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal big article over the weekend about that 334 00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:29,280 Speaker 1: grand Plantner guy that wants to be the senator up 335 00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:33,480 Speaker 1: in Maine, that his wife uncovered all kinds of sexting 336 00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:38,760 Speaker 1: between her husband the want to be many other women 337 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:42,280 Speaker 1: and many other women. But the actual sects didn't come out, 338 00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:47,920 Speaker 1: and everybody assumes they will, so let's see. Wow. 339 00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:51,719 Speaker 2: I heard of one alleged sext that was quite provocative 340 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:53,840 Speaker 2: and mentioned Adolf Hitler. 341 00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:56,199 Speaker 1: Ah, so more of that coming up. 342 00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,400 Speaker 2: We haven't talked about that bloke much, but yeah, it's 343 00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 2: definitely worth discuss. 344 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:04,760 Speaker 1: But first, it's a gender bending madness update. So I 345 00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:13,480 Speaker 1: kept hearing about this thing called Loco. We're a brave. 346 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:21,600 Speaker 2: We lead with congratulations to star athlete ab Hernandez. I 347 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:25,240 Speaker 2: believe ab stands for a boy who whooped up on 348 00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:28,800 Speaker 2: the girls again at the California Track and Field State Championship, 349 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,280 Speaker 2: showing once again that boys are better girls than even 350 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:35,399 Speaker 2: girls are. Congratulations sir for your first place in the 351 00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:39,600 Speaker 2: girl's high jump and triple jump, and condolences for your 352 00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 2: third place in the long jump. Last year, Hernandez won 353 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:46,679 Speaker 2: the triple jump and high jump and finished second in 354 00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:52,359 Speaker 2: the long jump. Obviously not his strongest uh event, but 355 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:55,280 Speaker 2: you can't have a clean sweep every time, but well done. 356 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:58,679 Speaker 2: Oh and then the state of cal Unicornia, being utterly 357 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:02,280 Speaker 2: delusional and gutler us, which is a hell of a combination, 358 00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 2: went through the absurdity, the cowardly absurdity of having the 359 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:14,320 Speaker 2: girl winner in the girl's track meet share the podium 360 00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:17,040 Speaker 2: position with the boy who beat her. 361 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:24,760 Speaker 1: In the first place. It is nonsensical. The position is 362 00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:28,720 Speaker 1: either he's a girl and he finished third and is 363 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,080 Speaker 1: alone on the podium at third or first in the 364 00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:33,399 Speaker 1: case the more obviously, or as a boy and didn't. 365 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:35,760 Speaker 1: It doesn't count because you're in a girl's track meet 366 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,320 Speaker 1: and you shouldn't be on there. But to try to 367 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:40,560 Speaker 1: do both is hilarious. 368 00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:45,320 Speaker 2: It's delusion and cowardly. Yes, indeed, and further driving home 369 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:49,080 Speaker 2: the stupidity of all of it. In the events where 370 00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 2: this gentleman finished first and shared the podium with the 371 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 2: actual girl who finished first, the person who was actually 372 00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:01,560 Speaker 2: then in third place, No, in second place because the 373 00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:04,280 Speaker 2: one person is a dude. So of course I'm on 374 00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:08,359 Speaker 2: the second place platform and the third place girl is 375 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:09,840 Speaker 2: on the third place platform. 376 00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,280 Speaker 1: Could anything be more absurd? 377 00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:18,840 Speaker 2: At least they've moved beyond the utterly brutal, horrible and 378 00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:23,639 Speaker 2: in woman abusing days where you know, if you finish 379 00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,320 Speaker 2: second to a young man, you're just in second place. 380 00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:29,359 Speaker 1: Sorry. Yeah, you don't get to claim you're the state 381 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:31,520 Speaker 1: champ ever for the rest of your life because a 382 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,720 Speaker 1: boy beat you in girls track? Yes, in girls true. 383 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,840 Speaker 1: What's a bigger deal if you're an high school athlete 384 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:42,200 Speaker 1: than being state champion? Oh my god, that's a big deal. 385 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:46,520 Speaker 1: And Dady denied that because of political correctness. It's so nutty. 386 00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:50,240 Speaker 2: Ladies, If indeed, and you're already doing this, I'm sure 387 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:56,280 Speaker 2: if you quote unquote lost to a boy Hernandez and 388 00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,720 Speaker 2: you were in quote unquote second place at any point 389 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:03,280 Speaker 2: in rear years, you are the state champion with all 390 00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:07,560 Speaker 2: the rights and privileges thereof. Please feel free to claim 391 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:10,160 Speaker 2: you're the state champion because you are anyway. 392 00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:10,760 Speaker 1: Moving along. 393 00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:12,920 Speaker 2: I actually had quite a few stories, but I wanted 394 00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:15,520 Speaker 2: to keep it tight. I will say this in summary 395 00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:21,600 Speaker 2: of the several that I dropped. Your local elementary school, 396 00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:25,840 Speaker 2: middle school, high school is every bit as woke as 397 00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:29,120 Speaker 2: it was five years ago. They're just covering it up. 398 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:34,280 Speaker 2: They are still transitioning kids quote unquote against their parents' wishes, 399 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:39,440 Speaker 2: still encouraging kids into gender bending madness. They're just again 400 00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:43,200 Speaker 2: more guarded about it. So beware it's happening at your 401 00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:49,440 Speaker 2: town's schools. Moving along, this is great news. The Doctors' 402 00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:53,520 Speaker 2: Union in Great Britain has dropped its opposition to the 403 00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:57,399 Speaker 2: findings of the Cast Review of Gender Identity Services, one 404 00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:00,199 Speaker 2: we've talked about many times, the famous Cast Review. The 405 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 2: British Medical Association had previously rejected the findings of the 406 00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:10,520 Speaker 2: landmark review. In April of twenty four they said they 407 00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:13,160 Speaker 2: found that the children and young people have been let 408 00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:15,320 Speaker 2: down by lack of research and evidence. That's the Hillary 409 00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:19,560 Speaker 2: Class Report, and that NHS gender medicine was built on 410 00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:24,119 Speaker 2: shaky foundations. Well, the BMA's council at the time voted 411 00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:27,000 Speaker 2: to oppose the implementation of the review, saying its findings 412 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:30,800 Speaker 2: were unsubstantiated. Well, on Wednesday of last week, the body 413 00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:34,639 Speaker 2: published its long awaited review of cast's findings, conducted by 414 00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:38,719 Speaker 2: twelve of their members and doctor or I'm sorry. Professor 415 00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:40,879 Speaker 2: David Strain, chair of the Bord of Science, who led 416 00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:44,879 Speaker 2: the review, said the CAST reports methodology was indeed robust 417 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 2: and the British Medical Association was no longer opposed to 418 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:53,560 Speaker 2: any of its thirty two recommendations. They signed on one 419 00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 2: hundred percent to the CAST report. If you hear anybody 420 00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:01,440 Speaker 2: claimed the CAST report and the activists are still saying 421 00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:02,560 Speaker 2: this that it was unsubstanded. 422 00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:04,360 Speaker 1: No, it was not bad, it was bad science. Blah 423 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:04,960 Speaker 1: blah blah. 424 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:10,480 Speaker 2: It is rock solid scientist years of study of six 425 00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:14,120 Speaker 2: figures worth of children found there's no evidence to support 426 00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:17,840 Speaker 2: prescribing sex hormones to anybody under eighteen, the idea of 427 00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:21,880 Speaker 2: surgery utterly horrified. And finally this, on the other hand, 428 00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:27,640 Speaker 2: to my previous point, every California Democrat I think this 429 00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:31,280 Speaker 2: was last week voted to support sex changes for children. 430 00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:35,919 Speaker 2: The California Assembly passed AB eighteen seventy six, forcing insurance 431 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:41,280 Speaker 2: to cover puberty blockers, cross sex hormones, and surgeries for kids. 432 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:47,000 Speaker 2: Fifty six Democrats voted yes, seventeen Republicans voted no. Not 433 00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:50,399 Speaker 2: a single Democrat stood up to oppose it. This is 434 00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:53,480 Speaker 2: state sponsored child abuse, writes this editorialist. 435 00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:58,320 Speaker 1: How many of those votes were sincere as opposed to 436 00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:01,600 Speaker 1: just scared that they would get primaried and lose, which 437 00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:06,639 Speaker 1: they probably would if they went against it. Yeah, I 438 00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:09,440 Speaker 1: don't know. Oh, I forgot to be very many. There's 439 00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:11,960 Speaker 1: no way that there's that many adults that think that's 440 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:15,720 Speaker 1: a good idea. But what are they afraid of the 441 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:21,680 Speaker 1: transgender lobby summoning its evil forces? Just like, oh, you're 442 00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:25,560 Speaker 1: not one of us, You're not dedicated enough to stay 443 00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:28,560 Speaker 1: with the herd, Right, they're either diluted or cowardly. Oh. 444 00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:29,320 Speaker 1: I forgot to mention. 445 00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:33,760 Speaker 2: California governor candidate Tom Steyer, who's in the top three, 446 00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:38,640 Speaker 2: if not the top two, recorded a video congratulating young 447 00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:41,800 Speaker 2: boy athlete ab Hernandez for beating up on the girls. 448 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:45,160 Speaker 1: I saw that. Yeah, unfreaking believable. Let's grab the audio 449 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:45,439 Speaker 1: for that. 450 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,439 Speaker 2: At some point, Michael, and then the final thing I 451 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:50,760 Speaker 2: wanted to throw on and Jack referenced this. I've referenced 452 00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:53,680 Speaker 2: this a little bit too. It's such a troubling, troubling read, 453 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:55,439 Speaker 2: but I wanted to hit you with part of it 454 00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:59,480 Speaker 2: from Johnny Skinner, who was a confused young man who's 455 00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:03,000 Speaker 2: convinced by the activists that he was transgender. He grew 456 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:05,399 Speaker 2: up in a family in a very fundamentalist part of 457 00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:10,520 Speaker 2: the Midwest, and to be gay was utterly unthinkable, and 458 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:12,800 Speaker 2: so he was pushed around and bullied in that sort 459 00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:20,040 Speaker 2: of thing. And then he points out that he was 460 00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:23,080 Speaker 2: on the autism spectrum, as so many of these kids are. 461 00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,719 Speaker 2: He was unpopular, he was an alienated, he was scared, 462 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:31,360 Speaker 2: he was bullied, blah blah blah. And a tutor told him, 463 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:35,960 Speaker 2: you know what, you are probably transgender, and insisted that 464 00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:42,359 Speaker 2: he'd be taken to a therapist who convinced him he 465 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:45,320 Speaker 2: was transgender, when he'd never had that notion before, really, 466 00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:49,159 Speaker 2: And they whisked him along that the conveyor belt that 467 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:53,720 Speaker 2: were always talking about, and essentially led the witness and 468 00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:56,960 Speaker 2: then scored his answers to the questions, and he got 469 00:26:56,960 --> 00:27:00,159 Speaker 2: a fifty three out of sixty, which the council were 470 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:04,280 Speaker 2: described as an open and shutcase. I was definitely transgender, 471 00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:06,960 Speaker 2: she said. Then they went to work on mom and dad. 472 00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:12,680 Speaker 2: He will kill himself or he will kill himself if 473 00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,320 Speaker 2: you don't let him become a girl. And now that 474 00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:17,040 Speaker 2: he's come to terms with it, he's like, I was 475 00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:17,959 Speaker 2: never transgender. 476 00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:18,480 Speaker 1: I'm gay. 477 00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:22,040 Speaker 2: I'm autistic and gay. For God's sake, God, it's just 478 00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:26,920 Speaker 2: these stories are so similar. And you know, I'm not 479 00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:28,840 Speaker 2: going to hit you with all the tragic part. But 480 00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,840 Speaker 2: it's been terrible for him physically. He's never going to 481 00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:35,080 Speaker 2: be able to have children. He has terrible urinary problems. 482 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,719 Speaker 2: He cannot achieve sexual ecstasy. 483 00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:40,160 Speaker 1: Oh my god. 484 00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:43,200 Speaker 2: In the state of California, you just voted unanimous among 485 00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:51,399 Speaker 2: Democrats to continue this horror. It's gender bending sickness. 486 00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:54,000 Speaker 1: So we'll get to this coming up in a little bit. 487 00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:57,240 Speaker 1: I guess Florida. This is breaking news. Florida is the 488 00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:03,240 Speaker 1: first state to sue an AI an AI that it's 489 00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:06,639 Speaker 1: just generally unsafe. The suit allegis chat GPT is an 490 00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:13,280 Speaker 1: unsafe product following a campus mass shooting. I think that 491 00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:17,440 Speaker 1: was kind of ridiculous, But uh yeah, I like Rhonda 492 00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:20,760 Speaker 1: Centis and I like Florida, But no, no, no, this 493 00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:23,400 Speaker 1: is this is what brought us warnings on ladders. 494 00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:25,520 Speaker 2: If you follow off of this, you might get hurt 495 00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:27,359 Speaker 2: and lawsuits against you know whatever. 496 00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:30,120 Speaker 1: Else. This is terrible. Don't be an idiot. Don't. 497 00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:33,359 Speaker 2: If you're a homicidal maniac, you can turn anything into 498 00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:35,960 Speaker 2: a tool of the homicidal maniac man. 499 00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:39,560 Speaker 1: I use a lot AI a lot, as I've talked 500 00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:45,360 Speaker 1: about with various situations, and it's troubling to me how 501 00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:51,160 Speaker 1: easily it caves if you push back against it. You're right, 502 00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:54,360 Speaker 1: good catch. I shouldn't have said that I overstated it 503 00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:59,240 Speaker 1: or whatever all the time. And if you know, I'm sane, 504 00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:02,320 Speaker 1: at least alleged, if you're if you're not, or you're 505 00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:06,200 Speaker 1: close to crazy, God, you could really be led down 506 00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:09,440 Speaker 1: some bad paths by AI, because it really does just 507 00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:13,000 Speaker 1: kind of read you and take you a direction. And 508 00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:16,920 Speaker 1: if you don't have the either confidence or knowledge in 509 00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:20,000 Speaker 1: some cases to say WHOA, well, that's not correct, right 510 00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:23,160 Speaker 1: and push back against it, it just keeps going. 511 00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:26,479 Speaker 2: Yeah, I would agree if you have the assumption that 512 00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:29,360 Speaker 2: it is accurate and insightful and has access to all 513 00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:32,880 Speaker 2: information blah blah blah. Yeah, that could be a dangerous thing, 514 00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:34,680 Speaker 2: and if there can be a case to be made 515 00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:36,600 Speaker 2: that no, it's not safe for reasons A, B, and C. 516 00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:38,720 Speaker 2: I'll read it, I'll look into it, and i will 517 00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:42,560 Speaker 2: approach it with an open mind. I just the U 518 00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:48,000 Speaker 2: a troubled person used this to do something troubling argument, 519 00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:50,640 Speaker 2: I just don't like as a as a lover of liberty. 520 00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:52,640 Speaker 1: Well, and most of the stuff has existed on the 521 00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:56,320 Speaker 1: Internet for decades now. The sort of stuff this person 522 00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:59,840 Speaker 1: learned how to you know, various people have looked up 523 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,440 Speaker 1: to make a bomb or what's you know, what kind 524 00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:04,360 Speaker 1: of gun can kill the most people or whatever. All 525 00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:06,120 Speaker 1: that stuff's been available on the Internet for a very 526 00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:06,960 Speaker 1: very long time. 527 00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:10,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean the argument, if this was a person, 528 00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:13,320 Speaker 2: it would one hundred percent be an accessory to murder. 529 00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:17,160 Speaker 2: It isn't intriguing one. But can the same be said 530 00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:23,440 Speaker 2: of a book? Okay, not a book? Now, how about Google? 531 00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:27,720 Speaker 2: This is just like a crazy efficient Google, honestly, the 532 00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:28,720 Speaker 2: AI chatbots. 533 00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:30,480 Speaker 1: Maybe we'll get into more of the specifics of the 534 00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:32,040 Speaker 1: claims coming up a little bit later. We got a 535 00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:41,239 Speaker 1: lot today. Stay here all. 536 00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:43,520 Speaker 3: For the first time in ny eight days, Iran got 537 00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:46,880 Speaker 3: their internet back. They have been living without any internet, 538 00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,120 Speaker 3: and everybody in the country got it and said the 539 00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:51,800 Speaker 3: same thing. Spencer Pratt is going to be the mayor 540 00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:52,680 Speaker 3: of Los Angeles. 541 00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:59,560 Speaker 1: I didn't know. Uh. Bill Maher had a rant about 542 00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:04,080 Speaker 1: why is Texas beating California when it comes to solar? 543 00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:10,760 Speaker 1: A state that is against green energy is beating California, 544 00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:15,200 Speaker 1: who's spent gazillions of dollars promoting green energy. In the 545 00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:19,920 Speaker 1: whole world of producing solar and people using solar and 546 00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:21,560 Speaker 1: all that sort of stuff's pretty interesting. We'll have to 547 00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:26,479 Speaker 1: get into that later. It's all about environmental crap and 548 00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:29,080 Speaker 1: regulations and all the stuff that bogs down a state 549 00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:34,920 Speaker 1: like California. This lawsuit we just mentioned that Florida's filing 550 00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:39,760 Speaker 1: against AI open ai in particular chat GPT, is way 551 00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:42,320 Speaker 1: more interesting than I thought. It's not just that one case. 552 00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:46,080 Speaker 1: So Florida is the first state to sue one of 553 00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:48,960 Speaker 1: your big AI companies. Here it is. The eighty three 554 00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:52,640 Speaker 1: page suit alleges that open ai allowed chat GPT to 555 00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:56,520 Speaker 1: aid in a bet mass shooters, encourage people to take 556 00:31:56,560 --> 00:32:02,720 Speaker 1: their own lives to great users critical thing skills, and 557 00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:06,880 Speaker 1: addict miners to a tool that feigns human compassion. All 558 00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:10,160 Speaker 1: of those things, all right, So it's starting to get 559 00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:14,040 Speaker 1: my attention. It's not just the the mass shooter thing, 560 00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:17,720 Speaker 1: which we'd heard about because it helped the dude learn 561 00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:19,680 Speaker 1: how to load the gun, and a bunch of different 562 00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:24,040 Speaker 1: stuff degrade users critical thinking skills. 563 00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:27,080 Speaker 2: We talked about that last week, that minutes in AI 564 00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:28,640 Speaker 2: can turn you lazy and stupid. 565 00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:31,880 Speaker 1: I don't know if I buy that, but it's interesting 566 00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:41,480 Speaker 1: addict miners to a tool that feigns human compassion. Hmmm. Quote. 567 00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:45,520 Speaker 2: We're getting into gray areas here, but they are interesting 568 00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:47,680 Speaker 2: questions even if it's not a legal question. Is a 569 00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:51,000 Speaker 2: you know, parenting question, is a philosophical question? Is a 570 00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:53,000 Speaker 2: what are these things doing? Questions? 571 00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:55,040 Speaker 1: Tell you what? Like I said, I used to these 572 00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:59,000 Speaker 1: chatbots a lot for various topics, but I feel like 573 00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:02,640 Speaker 1: I trust me with it because I don't forget that 574 00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:05,400 Speaker 1: it's not a human being. Or also I am perfectly 575 00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:08,560 Speaker 1: happy with telling you you're completely wrong about that. Or 576 00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:12,440 Speaker 1: I just said bull as to one of them. Uh, 577 00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:15,440 Speaker 1: and good catch. I went too far with that, my bad. 578 00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:18,840 Speaker 1: You know that whatever it does? Yeah, wow, so annoying. 579 00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:22,880 Speaker 2: But it's like your utterly dishonest coworker. Oh yeah, hey, 580 00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:25,600 Speaker 2: you're right. I should have put that back. Sorry, yeah, yeah, 581 00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:26,280 Speaker 2: good point. 582 00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:29,880 Speaker 1: No, No, you can't. Good point me. It just busted 583 00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:32,520 Speaker 1: you for me completely wrong and dishonest. It is like 584 00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:35,120 Speaker 1: you walk into your office and your coworker has got 585 00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:37,560 Speaker 1: their hand in your purse taking stuff out of there. 586 00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:40,040 Speaker 1: Hey what are you doing? Oh good catch, you caught 587 00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:42,520 Speaker 1: me stealing. I shouldn't have done that. Anyway, what you 588 00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:48,480 Speaker 1: were saying before is correct. Yeah, that's the way chatbots act, right. 589 00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:52,440 Speaker 1: It's so annoying. But like I said, I trusted in 590 00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:55,800 Speaker 1: my I came to it late in life hands and 591 00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:58,600 Speaker 1: I'm pretty skeptical to start with. Man, if you're if 592 00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:00,320 Speaker 1: you're doing it, you know, if you're new to the 593 00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:02,800 Speaker 1: world and you're a teenager and everything like that. Oh 594 00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:07,080 Speaker 1: who knows. So this lawsuit, if it goes forward, could 595 00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:13,200 Speaker 1: get into some damned interesting questions in a courtroom. Yeah, agreed, agreed, 596 00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:20,360 Speaker 1: question is worth asking that. I'd say which direction we 597 00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:22,080 Speaker 1: want to go with the final How many minutes do 598 00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:23,920 Speaker 1: we have here? Michael, just looking at some of my 599 00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:27,920 Speaker 1: notes from the weekend. Japan's population fell by more than 600 00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:31,160 Speaker 1: three million people in the past five years according to 601 00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:35,800 Speaker 1: the leastest latest data. Well, they've gone down three million 602 00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:41,400 Speaker 1: people in the last half a decade. Ain't having babies 603 00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:45,440 Speaker 1: at all. There are places like South Korea, Japan, Italy 604 00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:49,320 Speaker 1: that are just going to be in terms of the 605 00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:54,839 Speaker 1: culture that we think of Samurai and whatever the hell 606 00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:59,040 Speaker 1: bonzi trees is that Japan it is. It'll be people 607 00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:02,480 Speaker 1: from some other culture that lived there now, that cultural 608 00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:04,880 Speaker 1: existing war because you have you gotta have the people 609 00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:06,840 Speaker 1: from that culture to keep that culture around. 610 00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:12,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, it'll be interesting. It'll contract a certain amount. Then 611 00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:16,440 Speaker 2: what happens. That's any assumption that a trend will always 612 00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:18,799 Speaker 2: continue in the same direction as a bad assumption. But 613 00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:21,280 Speaker 2: it'll be different for sure. 614 00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:22,480 Speaker 1: Why this's not happened. 615 00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:24,719 Speaker 2: How expensive is Tokyo real estate going to be in 616 00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:25,840 Speaker 2: fifty years, for instance? 617 00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:28,800 Speaker 1: I don't expect this not having babies trying to turn around. 618 00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:31,120 Speaker 1: But nobody knows why it started, so I suppose it could. 619 00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:35,640 Speaker 1: This was announced over the weekend. The UAE carried out 620 00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:40,520 Speaker 1: lots of airstrikes against Iran right next to US in 621 00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:43,080 Speaker 1: Israel at the beginning of this war, flying their own 622 00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:46,279 Speaker 1: fighter jets, dropping lots of bombs at be in the 623 00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:48,880 Speaker 1: beginning days and kept it quiet because some of their 624 00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:51,319 Speaker 1: own population or some Arabs would be very unhappy with 625 00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:56,600 Speaker 1: that flying along Israelis to bomb Uh Muslims. But that happened, 626 00:35:57,160 --> 00:35:57,799 Speaker 1: happened a lot. 627 00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:01,759 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm guessing more Iran updates coming up next hour. 628 00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:05,680 Speaker 2: As the ceasefire became more like a shooting war than 629 00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:07,160 Speaker 2: it has for several weeks. 630 00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:12,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, including firing around fire two ballistic missiles at one 631 00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:16,000 Speaker 1: of our bases that thank god we intercepted. She's imagine 632 00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:18,600 Speaker 1: what would happen if we hadn't intercepted and he'd killed 633 00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:23,200 Speaker 1: a hundred soldiers. Could happen? Yeah, absolutely, It could happen today. 634 00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:25,520 Speaker 1: It could happen any day. That's what happens in a war. Anyway, 635 00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:27,720 Speaker 1: We've got a lot more If you miss the segment, 636 00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:34,160 Speaker 1: get the podcast Armstrong and Geddy on demand Armstrong and 637 00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:34,560 Speaker 1: Getty
