Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe, Katty.
Speaker 2: Armstrong, and Jettie and he arms Raw live from Studio C.
Speaker 2: See signor my shirt's wrinkled and I feel like a hobo.
Speaker 2: I hate when it happened somehow, and if you didn't
Speaker 2: know when I put it in the closet, you got
Speaker 2: banned and it was pressed it between shirts and then
Speaker 2: it looked like a hobo. Hate to start the day
Speaker 2: filling like a home you know you do. It's a
Speaker 2: dimly lit room deep with from the bowels of the
Speaker 2: Armstrong and Getty communications compounded. Today we're toiling under the
Speaker 2: title of the show. Only one title today. This is
Speaker 2: a dictatorship. This is a one party state. Your title
Speaker 2: is time to close Congress a rebooted or shut it down,
Speaker 2: or just to just you know, take a big sharpie
Speaker 2: and cross out Article one in the Constitution. It's completely useless.
Speaker 2: It's a clown show. It's a joke, it's ineffective, it
Speaker 2: doesn't do its job. I'm sure you're going to back
Speaker 2: up that title later in the program. It's like a
Speaker 2: wrinkled hobo shirt. Of an institution congress. Terrible. She hadn't
Speaker 2: mentioned that. How bad is it's? It's pretty bad. You
Speaker 2: can't see where you're standing below the desk, but the
Speaker 2: bottom part of my shirt is a Yeah, you'd have
Speaker 2: to stare at my carch, but the bottom part of
Speaker 2: my shirt is very wrinkled. It is off amazing though,
Speaker 2: how Like I noticed, sometimes I can put on certain
Speaker 2: I don't want to say the word outfit, but certain
Speaker 2: group of clothes. But why didn't you want to say
Speaker 2: outfit because of the Jason Isbell song, because of the
Speaker 2: drive by Truckers song. Yes, oh yeah, I guess it
Speaker 2: was a dry by trucker. Yeah, don't call what you're
Speaker 2: wearing an outfit. It's not manly. You're fit, as my
Speaker 2: son says, like your fit. Uh. Sometimes you can have
Speaker 2: a fit on and you're like, man, I really look
Speaker 2: good today, which at least for me, helps my entire mood.
Speaker 2: But then put exact same thing on two weeks later
Speaker 2: and like lost its zip somehow. I don't know what's
Speaker 2: going on. That's so just pointing out it's all in
Speaker 2: your mind. Really, a lot of it, not all of it,
Speaker 2: but some of it is just in your mind, certainly,
Speaker 2: how you're looking, how you're feeling. You know, you got
Speaker 2: your swagger or not well, and we all spend way
Speaker 2: too much energy of praising ourselves when the rest of
Speaker 2: the world isn't really paying that much attention. Having your swagger, though,
Speaker 2: helps with the day. Having your I don't know what's
Speaker 2: the French term you you like throw on French or
Speaker 2: a Latin. Yeah, I got zero de plume, I got
Speaker 2: I got zero nom de plume today. Yeah, that's too bad.
Speaker 2: I tell you you had their swagger was the Knickerbockers. Yeah,
Speaker 2: Game one of the NBA Finals. Man, I'd say not
Speaker 2: that I but it sounded exciting that Jalen Brunson. Dude,
Speaker 2: is he is something. He's he's he performs better in playoffs,
Speaker 2: and he does regular season more than any other player
Speaker 2: than NBA histories statistically, Like he's bored during the regular
Speaker 2: season and then he gets into the games that matter
Speaker 2: and he's a different guy more than anybody ever ever
Speaker 2: has been. It's something you see sometimes in sports speaking
Speaker 2: icewagger got to have a lot at stake to focus
Speaker 2: or he properly motivated. One more sports note, which I
Speaker 2: know is annoying to people who don't like sports show. Hey,
Speaker 2: o Tani, the greatest baseball player in the world maybe
Speaker 2: of all time, has the lowest ER at this point
Speaker 2: in the season, pretty early in the season. But he's
Speaker 2: however many innings in uh has the lowest ERA since
Speaker 2: nineteen thirteen. Lore I know it as a pitcher, and
Speaker 2: he's hitting over three hundred, which will put you in
Speaker 2: the Hall of Fame on its own. He's the great.
Speaker 2: That is ridiculous. That is absolutely ridiculous. It's kind of
Speaker 2: funny though, when you get into sports status, when you
Speaker 2: go way way way back, because the sport is so
Speaker 2: different you barely can call it the same thing. I mean,
Speaker 2: you know, the equipment and just all kinds of different things.
Speaker 2: But this is of no significance to anyone or anything.
Speaker 2: But how much of an outlier is he physically in
Speaker 2: Japan because Japanese men are famously smaller to be generally speaking,
Speaker 2: say Americans. But he's got to be like the equivalent
Speaker 2: of as eight foot tall, doesn't he. Yeah, he's an
Speaker 2: enormous man, so yeah, he's got to They got to
Speaker 2: fear him like Godzilla. I mean, please, adversity on the
Speaker 2: subway trains show. Hey, oh great show. Hey right, it's
Speaker 2: traffic in the worstly shades Japanese stereotypes. Yeah, exactly. Man,
Speaker 2: when he comes back to Tokyo, he's probably walking through
Speaker 2: the streets and they got airplanes flying around and try
Speaker 2: to stop him. Makes those noises. I've never heard it
Speaker 2: make that noise, but he might in his private time
Speaker 2: with his bookie translator Dye. They've severed ties. Yes, exactly,
Speaker 2: so this is interesting. I got a question speaking of
Speaker 2: the playoff clutch thing. I've either died emotionally or I've
Speaker 2: reached a new plateau of zen. I used two computers
Speaker 2: and an iPad for the show. I've got tabs, I
Speaker 2: got screens, i got sheets, I got updates. Both of
Speaker 2: my computers crashed today, I mean like crashed. I lost
Speaker 2: dozens of carefully arranged tabs of articles I wanted to
Speaker 2: talk about, arranged by subject and like in order of
Speaker 2: most like newsworthy to most evergreen, and everything a genius system.
Speaker 2: If I just crashed, lost it all, and yes, I
Speaker 2: know how to get it back, but it keeps coming
Speaker 2: back in the wrong way, and I don't care. It's fine.
Speaker 2: I thought, now we'll work our way around it. In
Speaker 2: the past, I would have been panicked. Second, do you
Speaker 2: have any idea why I have died emotionally? I have
Speaker 2: a friend, I guess. I have a friend who used
Speaker 2: to say, you know how I handle it? I'm dead inside.
Speaker 2: I wonder. I wonder, but we will forge you ahead. Nonetheless,
Speaker 2: if you don't care anymore? Is that it I happen
Speaker 2: to be talking about wife? I said, It's not like
Speaker 2: it was a patient on the table. It's okay, low
Speaker 2: te well that no, no tea. I have no measurable
Speaker 2: t I'm like a female feel calf as a man.
Speaker 2: It's terrible. I got to comment on an NPR story
Speaker 2: that I heard on the way to work today that
Speaker 2: it's going the right direction. Their their coverage of it,
Speaker 2: their version of it, the lefty version of it, really
Speaker 2: bothers me. It's all around. Uh, there are quite a
Speaker 2: few states in the country, they said, most mostly red states.
Speaker 2: I think it's interesting that it's not all red states.
Speaker 2: But I'll have to look into it before we discuss it.
Speaker 2: All around the topic of states that have decided Yeah,
Speaker 2: we didn't really know the county or city health commissioner
Speaker 2: had the power to do all these things in a pandemic.
Speaker 2: So what change in the rules here so that the
Speaker 2: legislature or some bigger body can decide whether or not
Speaker 2: schools are going to be closed for two years, or
Speaker 2: the parks are closed down, or you can no longer
Speaker 2: go to the beach or whatever. As opposed to one
Speaker 2: person that somehow got elected health commissioner, well, you don't
Speaker 2: have any idea who it is or what their deal is, right,
Speaker 2: their qualifications are practically nil for the county. Yeah, health
Speaker 2: commissioner and pr presented that as a horror with a
Speaker 2: bunch of quotes from doctor Fauci. I guess is part
Speaker 2: of the pushback on this across the country. Oh my god,
Speaker 2: I want to talk about that more later. Just oh
Speaker 2: I couldn't it brought back all the horrors of the
Speaker 2: whole thing and the idea that some people, like one
Speaker 2: individual who the hell no is what their qualifications are
Speaker 2: in your county, that can say you're right, parks are
Speaker 2: closed down, put yellow taper on the playground equipment so
Speaker 2: the kids can't play. Well, why doesn't matter I make
Speaker 2: those decisions. As opposed to the legislature, who would be
Speaker 2: responsible to the people making that decision. Right. For all
Speaker 2: of their constant howling about democracy, the left is extremely
Speaker 2: uncomfortable with democracy. They really want dictatorship, god Fauci saying
Speaker 2: something like, we want to strip the power of someone
Speaker 2: who's sworn duty is to protect your health and put
Speaker 2: it in the hands of a committee. That's outrageous. Yeah,
Speaker 2: if they're going to revoke our rights, hundred percent. Yeah,
Speaker 2: doctor gain of function. I want the doctor wuhan. I
Speaker 2: want the legislature who legislates, in other words, makes laws
Speaker 2: to decide the rules, as opposed to some person on
Speaker 2: a whim, one person. Right, it'll never happen in Corruptifornia.
Speaker 2: But I'd also like to see every state house around
Speaker 2: the nation rule firmly on what constitutes an emergence, how
Speaker 2: one is declared, and when one ends, quite specifically to
Speaker 2: rain in the future lunatics like Gavin Newsom. And then
Speaker 2: they ended the story. It's just so funny because NPR
Speaker 2: constantly runs promos about how you said, the place you
Speaker 2: go to get the real story with no spin and
Speaker 2: all facts, and it's just so hilarious. Anyway, they ended
Speaker 2: the story with hantavirus' cases continuing to show up and
Speaker 2: the Ebola virus not under control. This could become an
Speaker 2: issue sooner than many of us realize. Back to you,
Speaker 2: Jim Oh, I pray it does, and I pray all
Speaker 2: those red states and their legislatures take a careful look
Speaker 2: at the policy and science, actual scientific fact, not the
Speaker 2: craze that took place during COVID, but what all of
Speaker 2: the responsible health organizations had declared years before would be
Speaker 2: the response to pandemics. And follow those carefully, and then
Speaker 2: let's draw a contrast. If it happens again, God for
Speaker 2: a bid between your economy, our economy, our schools, your schools,
Speaker 2: our health outcomes, your health outcomes. That seems to be
Speaker 2: the only way to do it. The time is to
Speaker 2: strike is now, though, before people forget about it. Yeah,
Speaker 2: because the next pandemic could be in, you know, another
Speaker 2: century away. But let's say I just apparently, and this
Speaker 2: is good news. I am not emotionally dead because I
Speaker 2: hear the name Anthony Wuhan Fauci, and I get my
Speaker 2: blood starts to boil. Joe's I represent science. Here's our
Speaker 2: headline for the day, Joe's not dead. Inside, that's that's
Speaker 2: our breaking news. I'm not doing well. But not dead yet.
Speaker 2: I'm Jack Armstrong. He's Joe Getty on this It is Thursday,
Speaker 2: June the fourth of the year twenty twenty six, where
Speaker 2: I'm strong. You getting we approve of this program. Okay,
Speaker 2: let's beget officially then according to f CC rules or eggs.
Speaker 2: Here we go at Mark, I'm a drive.
Speaker 3: Spence underneath, puts it up, puts it in, chialen, prods it,
Speaker 3: does it again. It's a six point lead, but forty
Speaker 3: seven seconds left, we.
Speaker 2: Were down by fourteen late in the third quarter. Never
Speaker 2: say die, That's what I say. Timothy Chalomey was digging it.
Speaker 2: He was in the second row. He was in the
Speaker 2: second row behind what's his name, the comedian that got
Speaker 2: all the money from the car, right, Tracy Morgan. Tracy
Speaker 2: Morgan was in the front row. Chalomey was in the
Speaker 2: second room. So hey, shallow Wi, you need a little
Speaker 2: more money or something. Oh, it's twice as many rows
Speaker 2: as the first row. Heather Myers has our headlines for
Speaker 2: us and a bunch of stuff we can get into today.
Speaker 2: California is not even close to finishing counting their bouts,
Speaker 2: not even close, which is pretty crazy. Among other things,
Speaker 2: on the way, stay here. Sam Altman, one of the
Speaker 2: biggest AI guys in the world, says, Ah, this whole
Speaker 2: thing about people losing their jobs is overblown. I think
Speaker 2: it's going to be just fine, And I would trust
Speaker 2: his honesty on this topic about as little as as
Speaker 2: anybody it possibly imagine. But more on that later. Yeah, no, kidd,
Speaker 2: who asked you? I just came across a fascinating bit
Speaker 2: of American history, the farm boy, the Vermont farmboy who
Speaker 2: in the early eighteen hundreds invented something that made skyscrapers possible.
Speaker 2: What the plucky young American. Great story. We'll share that
Speaker 2: with you coming up, But first let's figure out who's
Speaker 2: reporting what. It's the lead story with Heather Meyer's Heather Joe.
Speaker 1: Jack, Good morning. Let's find out how the networks are
Speaker 1: covering the news this morning. From NBC News, House votes
Speaker 1: to rebuke Trump over war with Iran.
Speaker 2: Nobody I have to jump in just because nobody is
Speaker 2: pointing out because they want the excitement that goes with it.
Speaker 2: It's a symbolic vote. It holds no weight, it has
Speaker 2: no power. It doesn't help politically, but no, it does
Speaker 2: not signal the end of anything.
Speaker 1: Well, Foxter's covered it this way. Trump suffers rare House
Speaker 1: defeat as bipart artists and moves to withdraw troops from
Speaker 1: Iran conflict. And then the Washington Post said it like this,
Speaker 1: the four Republicans who broke with Trump on Iran and
Speaker 1: now face his wrath.
Speaker 2: No, it's interesting that in a Republican controlled House you
Speaker 2: know that it passed, But to leave out the fact
Speaker 2: that it's symbolic and does not have the ability to
Speaker 2: end the war is beyond disingenuous. I mean, you're misleading
Speaker 2: on purpose. That's a tough story.
Speaker 1: Recovering out of northern California this morning, Caseyra reporting one
Speaker 1: dead and three injured in shooting after graduation ceremony at
Speaker 1: Fairfield High.
Speaker 2: School as getting national attention. It's just down the road
Speaker 2: from us.
Speaker 1: From Forbes, Trump baselessly accuses Democrats of stealing California primaries.
Speaker 2: Well, if you allow counting to go on for days
Speaker 2: and weeks, it certainly helps the argument from people four
Speaker 2: people who want to claim theirre Shenanigan's going on. Yeah,
Speaker 2: California is vote counting system essentially puts lipstick on collar,
Speaker 2: blonde hair across shoulder of shirt and weird hotel stays
Speaker 2: that can't be explained, but then denies there's an affair
Speaker 2: going on. It sets it all up to look like
Speaker 2: electoral fraud. So if people say, wow, that looks kind
Speaker 2: of fraudulent, you can't act like that's unreasonable.
Speaker 1: Well, this headline from the La Times will backs that up.
Speaker 1: Does Nitthia Rahmans still have a chance California's uncounted votes
Speaker 1: could help Democrats?
Speaker 2: Yeah, speaking of disingenuous, A lot of the coverage around
Speaker 2: this given people totals who's ahead and whatever. With fifty
Speaker 2: some percent of the vote counted, there's no point so
Speaker 2: wait until they're got ya. Every number you hear about
Speaker 2: results in California could be flipped completely upside down by
Speaker 2: the time they're done counting.
Speaker 1: From the Sacramento Bee, Katie Porter's failed bid for governor
Speaker 1: is a loss for all Californians.
Speaker 2: What who said that?
Speaker 1: Stucker going to be their opinion page this morning?
Speaker 2: Wow, it used to be a newspaper. That's hilarious.
Speaker 1: From ABC seven, Newport Beach ceo accused of illegally selling
Speaker 1: US tech to Iranian government.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a big story we got into later. Why
Speaker 2: was this person so rich, hanging out in California for
Speaker 2: so long and selling secrets to the Iranians. What's going
Speaker 2: on there?
Speaker 1: Yeah, they nabbed him at his thirty five million dollar mansion.
Speaker 2: Yeah woo.
Speaker 1: From CNN. SpaceX sets the stage for a record seventy
Speaker 1: five billion dollar ipo.
Speaker 2: We got to talk to many somebody smart about all
Speaker 2: these IPOs that are coming out, the big tech things.
Speaker 2: What it means should you be trying to get involved?
Speaker 1: Blah blah blah from People dot Com. Service dog's extreme
Speaker 1: in flight accident sickens passengers.
Speaker 2: What happened? Oh?
Speaker 1: Oh the dog got the squirts?
Speaker 2: Oh swells that swell. Okay, that's age. But at least
Speaker 2: nobody's left wondering, Yes, what happened? So clarity points for clarity.
Speaker 1: Well, I just wanted to sum it up so there
Speaker 1: was no guessing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, That settled the issue.
Speaker 1: From the Associated Press this morning, woman sues Outback Steakhouse
Speaker 1: for one and a half million after allegedly slipping on
Speaker 1: mashed potatoes.
Speaker 2: Oh god, all right.
Speaker 1: From the AP again, The winner pays nine million in
Speaker 1: cherry auction for a private lunch with Warren Buffett and
Speaker 1: Stephan Curry.
Speaker 2: Wow, I would like to lunch with the greatest investor
Speaker 2: of all time and the greatest jumpshooter over time. Yes,
Speaker 2: together the same table, exactly, they must be together. And finally,
Speaker 2: why so many three pointers in the NBA Stefan is
Speaker 2: their growth in the housing industry? Sorry? Fifteen six.
Speaker 1: From the Babylon Bee, California announces they have finished counting
Speaker 1: the votes. Ronald Reagan has won the nineteen sixty six
Speaker 1: governors race.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's an embarrassment. I got a scenario around that
Speaker 2: to present. Oh and have you heard the Steph Curry
Speaker 2: business story Armstrong and Geddy?
Speaker 4: Sixty percent of the vote has been counted. If that holds,
Speaker 4: it means that in November, Los Angelinos are going to
Speaker 4: have to choose between a woman named Karen and a
Speaker 4: man who is one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is insane. Oh wow, we should be very embarrassed.
Speaker 4: Rocher not be a top two finalist for mayor. He
Speaker 4: should be DJing the worst New Year's Eve party in
Speaker 4: Reno right now. He's unlikely to win, and in fact,
Speaker 4: he's already filming a reality show about his run for mayor,
Speaker 4: so he definitely has his priorities over order.
Speaker 2: That is so interesting because, like I know, Bill Maher
Speaker 2: and Jimmy kimmeler friends. I've seen Jimmy Kimmel on his
Speaker 2: show a couple of different times, hanging out and talking
Speaker 2: and stuff like that, and likewise the very practical and
Speaker 2: very realistic Adam Carolla. But Bill Maher, you know, as
Speaker 2: a lifelong lefty who lives in Los Angeles, saying, look,
Speaker 2: this is ridiculous. So we got street people everywhere, you
Speaker 2: can't get anything done. Jimmy Kimmel goes with a Spencer
Speaker 2: Pratz a Karen for complaining about drug addicts in tents everywhere. Wow,
Speaker 2: that's really interesting. Are you being a Karen when you
Speaker 2: pointed out that poor woman who was chased into a
Speaker 2: furniture store and stabbed to death by a craze junkie?
Speaker 2: I mean, was that? Is that being a Karen to
Speaker 2: point out with the horror of that? Anyway, I got
Speaker 2: another thing on the California elections, but I wanted to
Speaker 2: follow up on a couple of things that Heather head
Speaker 2: Force headlines. That one about somebody paying a bunch of
Speaker 2: money to have lunch with Warren Buffett and Steph Curry.
Speaker 2: That sounds I would love to have lunch with either
Speaker 2: one of those guys alone. But I feel like if
Speaker 2: I was there with them together and you have that
Speaker 2: whole thing going where you're trying to include everybody, like
Speaker 2: at a party or something like that, it'd be really
Speaker 2: difficult to do. I mean, I have specific questions for
Speaker 2: Warn't to have specific questions for Steph Curry, but neither
Speaker 2: one of them. I don't know Steph Curry. I would
Speaker 2: like to lunch with Geddy Lee and Sam Altman. I mean,
Speaker 2: come on, ged how do you get that bass sound? Sam?
Speaker 2: Will this restructure the economy? Getty? How do you play
Speaker 2: the keyboards? Sam? What? That's an odd combo? Anyway? Steph
Speaker 2: Curry's closer to Warren Buffett than the other way around.
Speaker 2: Steph Curry just signed a four a new he's going
Speaker 2: with a new shoe is under armor shoe thing. Ended
Speaker 2: biggest sports contract at that time that had ever been signed.
Speaker 2: His new one with some Chinese shoe I've never even
Speaker 2: heard of. Oh boy, they're all kind of Chinese shoes,
Speaker 2: because I mean, Nike's an American company, but everything's made anyway.
Speaker 2: Leaning four hundred million dollars shoe deal Steph Curry signed
Speaker 2: and his career is practically over four hundred million dollars.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I think you could talk business with both
Speaker 2: of those guys. Yeah, yeah, wow, I'm super uncomfortable with
Speaker 2: that though. It's a Chinese own company. That's the difference.
Speaker 2: So you're under the influence of the communists Chinese by definition,
Speaker 2: by definition on the election thing. So we got this
Speaker 2: text people that are complaining about how slow California is
Speaker 2: in counting the ballots, and lots of different people pointing
Speaker 2: out how long it takes in different states, cities, or
Speaker 2: countries around the world. California is the worst of any
Speaker 2: like developed democracy on planet Earth in terms of getting results.
Speaker 2: And the problem is what we got this text. If
Speaker 2: they did it super quick, you guys would say that's
Speaker 2: too fast. It had to be rigged. No, I wouldn't
Speaker 2: because nobody in history has ever said that everybody does
Speaker 2: it fast. And the likelihood that you believe a fast
Speaker 2: result is obviously higher than a slow, drawn out result.
Speaker 2: Now I don't like. I was thinking about my big
Speaker 2: local measure where I live, and uh, you don't need
Speaker 2: to know the details, but it's a housing development, So
Speaker 2: I was thinking, like, how much money is involved? Here
Speaker 2: in one small town and the vote is really close.
Speaker 2: They're like five hundred votes apart, and they're forty percent
Speaker 2: of the way counting two days later. You've got how
Speaker 2: many millions of dollars would you have involved in a
Speaker 2: fifteen hundred home development of hundreds of acres? It would
Speaker 2: It'd have to be hundreds of millions of dollars, wouldn't it.
Speaker 2: That's an awful lot of money because there's a park,
Speaker 2: and there's roads, and there's whole kinds of stuff that
Speaker 2: has to happen. That's a lot of money hinging on
Speaker 2: a very tiny election. Now. I don't have any reason
Speaker 2: to think that it's going to be rigged in any way,
Speaker 2: but oh my god, there'd be a lot of people
Speaker 2: that would love to rig it if they could. And
Speaker 2: you only got to change a couple votes, right, So yeah,
Speaker 2: you got to get those results out fast. You're just
Speaker 2: asking for people to speculate when it takes you this
Speaker 2: long account votes. The problem is it's got to take
Speaker 2: this long because the Bizarro practically unprecedented in electoral history
Speaker 2: system California has. You can mail in a ballot any
Speaker 2: time before the election. You can mail it in day
Speaker 2: of it can get there a week later, it still
Speaker 2: has to be counted. There's nothing like a deadline. There's
Speaker 2: no structure to it. It's the most unstructured voting I've
Speaker 2: ever seen in terms of time. And then the blanketing
Speaker 2: of the state with mail in ballot's a state of
Speaker 2: forty million people. I mean, that's just the reason nobody
Speaker 2: else does it like that is because it's so wildly unmanageable,
Speaker 2: both logistically and security of the vote wise. But I
Speaker 2: you know, I guess I just so. It was all
Speaker 2: driven by the goal I suppose to get as many
Speaker 2: people to vote as possible, make it the easiest vote
Speaker 2: as possible. Every half wit, bum junkie, the moron in
Speaker 2: every corner of California, Let's get a ballot from them.
Speaker 2: They have no ability to manage their lives to get
Speaker 2: to the polls, to figure out when voting day is.
Speaker 2: What's your address collect all those votes? I don't know. Yes, Uh,
Speaker 2: can you tell me what your previous address was? I
Speaker 2: don't know. Well, the young woman you were talking about,
Speaker 2: Jack actually witnessed in line who didn't know her present
Speaker 2: nor former address, but was still voting. She's in like
Speaker 2: the eightieth percentile. She got herself to the pole. She
Speaker 2: knew where to go, or at least knew where a
Speaker 2: polling place was. But she's above average, well de designed
Speaker 2: to allow a collecting votes from morons and b fraud. Yeah,
Speaker 2: the whole the lot of the Save Act stuff that
Speaker 2: Trump's trying to get through. Still claiming that the twenty
Speaker 2: twenty election was stolen from him is uh, nonsensical or counterproductive.
Speaker 2: But anything that makes it faster and leans towards showing
Speaker 2: your idea is a good idea, and everybody should be
Speaker 2: on board with that one hundred percent. Practically everybody is
Speaker 2: on board with it, as we've discussed many times, including
Speaker 2: the vast majority of Democrats. A couple other headlines, just
Speaker 2: to touch on, Israel and Lebanon agreed to implementation of
Speaker 2: a ceasefire. It's so complicated and Trump oversimplified it the
Speaker 2: other day. What does that mean? So your headline right there,
Speaker 2: you talked about this yesterday. Israel's not at war with Lebanon,
Speaker 2: So calling a ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon and them
Speaker 2: signing an agreement, that's not the problem. Here's a little
Speaker 2: tip for you from your old uncle Joe say you're
Speaker 2: forming up a country and one of your political parties decides,
Speaker 2: you know, we're hardcore is Lamists and we don't want
Speaker 2: to wait around for our country to make decisions about
Speaker 2: who needs to be killed or fought. We're going to
Speaker 2: arm our giant political party and kind of do what
Speaker 2: we want most of the time. Don't do that. You
Speaker 2: don't want that in your country. So Lebanon's in a
Speaker 2: situation where they do join with Hesbela at times if
Speaker 2: they think Israel's gotten too belligerent or they're in armed conflict,
Speaker 2: and Hebela says, yeah, we'll help you out if you
Speaker 2: need it, and they'll tell all right, you know, throw
Speaker 2: some rockets at Israel. But a significant amount of the
Speaker 2: time of the legitimate government of Lebanon and Lebanese people
Speaker 2: are thinking, can we get these lunatics out of here,
Speaker 2: or at least get them to disarm, because then we
Speaker 2: can have peace with Israel. Israel has no desire for conquest.
Speaker 2: They just don't want to be attacked anymore. So what's
Speaker 2: happened now, And as you're kind of indirectly pointing out,
Speaker 2: it doesn't mean peace has come. Lebanon has just said
Speaker 2: to Israel. Look, we're not fighting each other, right, so
Speaker 2: do us a favor and be Israel, be a little
Speaker 2: restrained when you're attacking Hezbela, because don't draw us into it,
Speaker 2: because we don't want any part of it. And Israel said, okay,
Speaker 2: let's be cool and concentrate on Hesbela. So that's my
Speaker 2: nickel version of what's happening right now. But Trump said
Speaker 2: Israel's got to stop fighting Lebanon, and that's that's again oversimplified,
Speaker 2: but it's a good sign. I think at least maybe
Speaker 2: if fighting rezumes, Israel can point out to Trump and others, look,
Speaker 2: we're not fighting Lebanon. We have an agreement with Lebanon. Lebanon.
Speaker 2: Are we fighting you? No, you're not. And it's just
Speaker 2: the Islamist Iranian proxies. Again. Yeah, there's some interesting Wall
Speaker 2: Street Journal reporting on Trump's attitude about the war. But
Speaker 2: we can tell you about it right after we tell

Speaker 2: Street Journals reporting around the war with Iran, President Trump
Speaker 2: has told aids privately that he would consider surprise. It's
Speaker 2: just consider ending the ceasefire if Tehran kills American troops.
Speaker 2: US officials said, insisting that the week's long paws and
Speaker 2: air strikes remains intact despite a steady stream of violet skirmishes.
Speaker 2: So he's gonna hold on to it. The little tit
Speaker 2: for tat they call it tit for tat when you're
Speaker 2: sending ballistic missiles at each other. It's set some pretty
Speaker 2: heavy duty tit for tat. But if you kill a
Speaker 2: bunch of American troops, Trump's gonna end the ceasefire and attack.
Speaker 2: He'd consider it. They said, Yeah, beware, because the headline
Speaker 2: in the Wall Street Journals exclusive is Trump tells aids
Speaker 2: he won't resume all out war unless US troops are killed.
Speaker 2: And then you read the entire body of the article
Speaker 2: and you realize, no, that's not what he said. He
Speaker 2: said he would seriously consider ending the ceasefire if Iran
Speaker 2: killed American troops, not that that was the only trigger
Speaker 2: or that that was the only scenario. It's a terrible misleading.
Speaker 2: I see the difference you're pointing out, but I would
Speaker 2: rather he used the words hell, yeah, f yeah, if
Speaker 2: they kill US troops, we're going back to war, as
Speaker 2: opposed to a consider a much stronger language, right, and
Speaker 2: or how about yeah, we're going to go back to
Speaker 2: serious war unless they come to the table in a
Speaker 2: serious way, I'd agree to a deal. I think Trump
Speaker 2: has lost his nerve and his willingness to rattle the
Speaker 2: world economy to push as hard as it's going to
Speaker 2: take to get Iran to Actually, I have not been
Speaker 2: on board with the taco thing, through any of this stuff,
Speaker 2: tariffs or any of this stuff. He has lost his
Speaker 2: nerve on this one. He chickened out. And I'm not
Speaker 2: exactly sure why. The market. I mean, he doesn't care
Speaker 2: about people's opinions. He does care about the market, but yeah,
Speaker 2: he clearly is chickened out. We were talking to Nora
Speaker 2: Rothman yesterday. He is a journalist with the National Review,
Speaker 2: and he's got a book called Blood and Progress about
Speaker 2: left wing violence. Anyway, we did a podcast with him
Speaker 2: yesterday that you can find where you find podcasts. But anyway,
Speaker 2: we said what Joe said a couple of weeks ago
Speaker 2: to him, because I wondered what his reaction was. Iran
Speaker 2: getting a nuclear weapon would be one of the biggest
Speaker 2: developments in world history. And he said, absolutely, he agrees.
Speaker 2: I don't know how it would not. I don't know
Speaker 2: how you'd make the argument that wouldn't be with that
Speaker 2: on the table and a negative development, not like electricity
Speaker 2: is one of the biggest developments in world history too,
Speaker 2: but didn't leave to World War three? How is that
Speaker 2: the case ran getting a new clear upon to be
Speaker 2: one of the worst things that's ever happened on planet Earth.
Speaker 2: And because gas is going to be high this summer,
Speaker 2: we're just gonna not bother, not bother. Yeah, now I
Speaker 2: think it's awful. It's terrible mismanagement. I want to pay
Speaker 2: off next hour the young mount farm boy who made
Speaker 2: skyscrapers possible. It might be a slight overstatement, but it's
Speaker 2: a cool story. It's a Right Brothers esque tale, a
Speaker 2: couple of bicycle repairmen that'll never happen. Plus we've got
Speaker 2: a mailbag coming up, and Sam Holtman says, you're not
Speaker 2: going to lose your job to AI, and I would
Speaker 2: certainly believe him. Why would he lie to you? Among
Speaker 2: other things? On the way stay here, I didn't talk
Speaker 2: later about my new face. Remember I made a conscious
Speaker 2: effort to have a different face about a year ago.
Speaker 2: Maybe it's really been working for me. It's quite amazing.
Speaker 2: Maybe it could help out you know somebody who's listening,
Speaker 2: because it's extraordinary. Your jowel lift? Is that what you mean?
Speaker 2: Also have this headline we'll get to it's here. The
Speaker 2: new world screwworm has shown up in the United States,
Speaker 2: first example in Texas, and look for it near you.
Speaker 2: Flesh eating bacteria loving, gonna get into your eyeballs. Screw,
Speaker 2: it's a stake on it. May let's not frighten people
Speaker 2: so it eats your flesh and kills you think you
Speaker 2: got about a fifty to fifty chance. Here's your freedom
Speaker 2: loving quote of today. I decided, in the wake of
Speaker 2: our discussion of Trump's negotiating with it, their on apparently
Speaker 2: who everything charged to do some quotes about negotiation. Let's
Speaker 2: go with this one. Where'd that go? Oh? There it
Speaker 2: is John F. Kennedy from nineteen sixty one. We cannot
Speaker 2: negotiate with people who say what's mine is mine and
Speaker 2: what's yours is negotiable. That's a good line. Or I
Speaker 2: actually like this one. It's you know, laying out the
Speaker 2: very basics. It's from John Maynard Keynes, who u the
Speaker 2: father of Kingsey and economics, who ruined the world. But
Speaker 2: when the final result is expected to be a compromise.
Speaker 2: It is often prudent to start from an extreme position. Ah,
Speaker 2: that's a good one. Peg the negotiations way over there.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, you're dragging me off away over there.
Speaker 2: What kind of monster are you? Ogay, I'll come a
Speaker 2: little bit. Yeah. Mailbag drops a note mail bag at
Speaker 2: Armstrong and Getty dot com. Oh wow, some folks have
Speaker 2: already listened to the long form interview of Noah Rothman
Speaker 2: on One More Thing Armstrong getting one more Thing. If
Speaker 2: you subscribe to Armstrong and Getty on demand, it'll automatically
Speaker 2: download interesting Chad guys. Brilliant anyway, drops a note mail
Speaker 2: bag at Armstrong and Getty dot com. Roye Marine writes,
Speaker 2: heard your commentary about people who are bubbled don't know
Speaker 2: their bubble one music, Slow down, Joe, one musician friend
Speaker 2: of mine who goes all the way back to school
Speaker 2: days is brilliant. A grad of a major university astounded
Speaker 2: me by being unaware of the enslavement in some cases
Speaker 2: genocide of the wigers. Turns out he had a national
Speaker 2: geographic magazine on his coffee table with an in depth
Speaker 2: article about it. He just hadn't gotten around to it.
Speaker 2: He was clearly disturbed. He shook his head after reading
Speaker 2: quite a bit of it and said, I had no
Speaker 2: idea this was happening. Bah blah blah. He was in
Speaker 2: disbelief when I commented that eighty to ninety percent of
Speaker 2: homeless or drug addicts alcoholics are both, which is why
Speaker 2: they can't keep a job or a domicile. He also
Speaker 2: believes that ms now, especially Rachel Maddow or honest journalists.
Speaker 2: So yeah, well, it's has been pointed out by us
Speaker 2: and many other people. It's a lot harder to be
Speaker 2: bubbled if you lean to the right, because you're confronted
Speaker 2: with a different version of it every time you flip
Speaker 2: on the television or or go to a movie, or
Speaker 2: your kids coming home from school or whatever. Are you
Speaker 2: yourself go to school as a younger person, you're subjected.
Speaker 2: You're subjected. You're exposed to those arguments and have to
Speaker 2: learn to deal with them and confront why you think
Speaker 2: they're either right or wrong your whole life. Liberals need
Speaker 2: not do that, so they're bubbled. Thought this was a great,
Speaker 2: great summary from Jeff on the true Marxist strategy. It's
Speaker 2: a strategy of patients and persistence the Marxist strategy to
Speaker 2: infiltrate the US was a long term cultural revolution, not
Speaker 2: an armed rebellion. By methodically placing ideological sympathizers into education, media, government,
Speaker 2: and corporate power structures, the American worldview has been shifted
Speaker 2: dramatically over the past century. Today, many Americans are unaware
Speaker 2: that what they see as normal progress was in fact
Speaker 2: carefully orchestrated over decades following a playbook written by Gramsky,
Speaker 2: refined by Marcuse, and executed by a legion of activists
Speaker 2: opposing as educator's journalists and public servants. That's exactly right.
Speaker 2: If there's a lesson to be learned, it's this cultural
Speaker 2: warfare is real and fought not with guns, but with ideas, textbooks,
Speaker 2: and television screens. You know. It kind of reminds me
Speaker 2: of the way conservatives, pro life conservatives got Roll versus
Speaker 2: Wade finally overturned. That was a like half century project
Speaker 2: from the Federal Society to try to, you know, get
Speaker 2: judges in places at lower levels, let it play out
Speaker 2: over a very long period of time. To try to
Speaker 2: reverse that, you have to play a long game with
Speaker 2: some of these big ideas, and they have on the
Speaker 2: other side with Marxism in our schools and media for
Speaker 2: longer than that. Yeah. Yeah. And then finally, Kevin from
Speaker 2: Beautiful Placerville, California points out that Nate Silver talking about
Speaker 2: California's electoral system and how hopeless it is, Nate called
Speaker 2: it learned helplessness, and he says, I take issue with
Speaker 2: the characterization because it completely mixdiagnoses the issue. It's this
Speaker 2: is exactly how they want the system to function. They
Speaker 2: want a gigantic, untrackable flood of votes that they can
Speaker 2: then harvest and control. It's not a mistake, it's it's
Speaker 2: it's intentional. Yeah. And then it's got the help of
Speaker 2: it makes it seem like you're trying to count every
Speaker 2: vote out there. Seeing get a lot of people on
Speaker 2: board who lean that direction. Armstrong and Getty
