WEBVTT - The Breakdown Is Right Here In The Process 0:00:01.920 --> 0:00:06.200 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:06.280 --> 0:00:10.320 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. 0:00:10.240 --> 0:00:17.320 Armstrong and get Katie and now he Armstrong and Jetty. 0:00:23.960 --> 0:00:27.720 Of the nearly two hundred missiles fired by Iran, Israeli 0:00:27.800 --> 0:00:31.159 defenses shot down almost all of them, not without the 0:00:31.200 --> 0:00:34.680 help of US destroyers based in the Eastern Mediterranean. The 0:00:34.720 --> 0:00:37.440 Israeli military has vowed to strike back. We have the 0:00:37.479 --> 0:00:40.280 capabilities to reach any point to the Middle East, said 0:00:40.280 --> 0:00:42.640 the head of the Armed Forces. Our enemies who have 0:00:42.720 --> 0:00:46.600 not understood this yet will soon understand. Israeli military video 0:00:46.720 --> 0:00:50.200 shows troops advancing through the mountains of southern Lebanon as 0:00:50.200 --> 0:00:54.040 it announced close quarter fighting with Hezbolah. Thousands more are 0:00:54.080 --> 0:00:56.480 being sent north as part of what the Israeli military 0:00:56.600 --> 0:00:58.760 is calling a limited ground operation. 0:01:00.080 --> 0:01:03.080 So that's interesting and I like a lot of people 0:01:03.160 --> 0:01:05.720 have been wondering what is the Israeli gonna response going 0:01:05.760 --> 0:01:05.920 to be? 0:01:06.000 --> 0:01:07.039 How big is it going to be? 0:01:07.080 --> 0:01:08.679 I mean, is it going to be full regime change, 0:01:08.720 --> 0:01:11.200 like try to take out the Ayatola take out There 0:01:11.000 --> 0:01:15.400 are nuclear facilities, they're oil refineries, all that different sort 0:01:15.400 --> 0:01:18.720 of stuff. Maybe not as much as I thought. We'll 0:01:18.720 --> 0:01:20.280 have that for you in just a second. But here's 0:01:20.319 --> 0:01:23.640 a CBS reporter who got a tour of a town, 0:01:23.760 --> 0:01:30.119 and they're in Lebanon, where the Hesbla people are pretty popular, apparently. 0:01:30.240 --> 0:01:34.200 Southern Bayiruk suburb of Dahia, the seat of Hesbola's power. 0:01:34.480 --> 0:01:39.039 Israeli airstrikes targeted Dahia relentlessly. We were only given access 0:01:39.040 --> 0:01:41.840 as part of a large media tour organized by the 0:01:41.880 --> 0:01:46.039 Milton Group following the Israeli assassination of its leader, custom Disrella. 0:01:46.520 --> 0:01:50.240 This man yells, we will not surrender. We followed Nosreela, 0:01:50.600 --> 0:01:53.360 this man who said we are all Norella. So if 0:01:53.400 --> 0:01:56.200 Israel was fighting one person, they are now fighting the 0:01:56.360 --> 0:01:57.000 entire nation. 0:01:57.720 --> 0:01:58.880 We are all in ISRAELA. 0:01:58.920 --> 0:02:01.000 I don't know how many people leave that sentiment there 0:02:01.360 --> 0:02:03.560 in southern Lebanon, but. 0:02:05.200 --> 0:02:05.960 There's that. 0:02:07.160 --> 0:02:10.200 Yeah, there's a great deal of resentment of Hesbala as well. 0:02:10.440 --> 0:02:11.520 It depends who you ask. 0:02:12.360 --> 0:02:15.799 So Joe Biden was asked yesterday, what do you think 0:02:15.840 --> 0:02:19.080 of Israel taking out the nuclear facilities there in Iran? 0:02:19.240 --> 0:02:19.400 No? 0:02:20.040 --> 0:02:24.320 Absolutely, no response needs to be proportional. Why we wouldn't 0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:29.120 advocate keeping Iran from getting a bomb. I guess you 0:02:29.120 --> 0:02:31.000 did want to go back to your old boss's plan. 0:02:31.080 --> 0:02:33.360 If you just keep giving Iran more money and thinking 0:02:33.400 --> 0:02:36.120 at some point they'll just decide not to want a 0:02:36.200 --> 0:02:37.400 nuclear weapon or something. 0:02:37.639 --> 0:02:39.200 I don't I've never understood that theory. 0:02:39.440 --> 0:02:42.000 Yeah, they won't take the money and keep developing the nukes. 0:02:42.040 --> 0:02:43.040 There's no chance of that. 0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:44.800 But this shocked me. 0:02:45.240 --> 0:02:52.240 From the New York Times, several senior Biden officials, speaking 0:02:52.280 --> 0:02:55.760 on a condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive conversations, said 0:02:55.840 --> 0:02:59.320 yesterday that Israeli officials have told them privately that they 0:02:59.400 --> 0:03:02.440 do not feel the need to hit back against Iran 0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:04.280 in an immediate and massive way. 0:03:04.800 --> 0:03:07.240 I hadn't heard this anywhere yet. 0:03:07.280 --> 0:03:09.519 Officials in the United States and Europe feared that Israel 0:03:09.520 --> 0:03:11.880 could hit economic tiggets in Iran that would prompt the 0:03:11.960 --> 0:03:16.640 dangerous escalatory reaction Tehran has long wouldn't I know. Tehran 0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:19.520 has long signaled that attacks on its oil and gas 0:03:19.560 --> 0:03:23.160 industry would be a red line. A senior European official said, 0:03:23.800 --> 0:03:26.799 so we're announcing we're scared of Iran. That's a good idea. 0:03:27.520 --> 0:03:31.240 Such a strike would probably prompt retaliatory attacks. From Iran 0:03:31.280 --> 0:03:35.040 on Western energy assets, potentially disrupting the global economy one 0:03:35.080 --> 0:03:36.520 month before the presidential election. 0:03:38.720 --> 0:03:42.080 Well that's there, you go, that last phrase. That's what 0:03:42.240 --> 0:03:44.560 a lot of it is about. And the rest of 0:03:44.600 --> 0:03:48.520 it is utterly dishonest. First of all, the idea that 0:03:48.720 --> 0:03:52.000 we don't want a dangerous escalation where Iran like gets 0:03:52.040 --> 0:03:56.840 really mad or something. It's already on. Okay, the war 0:03:57.080 --> 0:04:01.560 is on Iran has been defanged. Two most powerful proxies 0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:04.080 are fighting for their lives, and those are the two 0:04:04.120 --> 0:04:07.720 attack dogs they always threatened Israel with. They didn't threaten 0:04:07.760 --> 0:04:10.880 them with, and we'll fire two hundred and twelve ballistic 0:04:10.920 --> 0:04:13.840 missiles at you. They threatened them with, Yeah, we'll send 0:04:13.840 --> 0:04:16.440 our attack dogs in the region right at Israel and 0:04:16.480 --> 0:04:18.160 we're going to fight the hell out of you. Well, 0:04:18.240 --> 0:04:20.000 what are you going to do now your attack dogs 0:04:20.000 --> 0:04:20.760 are defanged? 0:04:21.000 --> 0:04:21.400 Well, right? 0:04:21.440 --> 0:04:23.200 And then in terms of launching an attack from your 0:04:23.240 --> 0:04:25.000 own country? Am I supposed to believe that the two 0:04:25.120 --> 0:04:28.360 hundred ballistic missiles were That's not our best stuff. We 0:04:28.440 --> 0:04:31.760 got way better stuff. We're just holding back for some reason. 0:04:33.880 --> 0:04:36.960 What I don't know that I buy that. I am 0:04:37.040 --> 0:04:41.640 so disgusted by Joe Biden. I disagreed a lot with 0:04:41.760 --> 0:04:45.440 Barack Obama. I thought he was wrong. I thought he 0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:48.440 not born here, oh boy. 0:04:49.480 --> 0:04:50.080 I thought his. 0:04:50.160 --> 0:04:53.800 Theory of international relations was that of an academic overly 0:04:53.800 --> 0:04:56.520 in love with his own persuasive powers and intellect and 0:04:56.560 --> 0:04:59.440 blah blah blah. But at least I felt like there 0:04:59.480 --> 0:05:03.160 was coh to it. It was wrong, it was just incoherent. 0:05:03.520 --> 0:05:06.800 I'm sorry it was wrong, but it was coherent. Joe 0:05:06.800 --> 0:05:09.640 Biden is just spineless. 0:05:10.400 --> 0:05:13.640 He is utterly unable to make a risky decision. 0:05:14.120 --> 0:05:18.799 Ever, He's one of the most gray milk toast, cowardly 0:05:18.960 --> 0:05:21.480 spineless people I've ever seen in a position of power. 0:05:22.640 --> 0:05:24.720 It's just I'm just so sick of him. 0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:27.919 And as we can't escalate, it's got to be proportional. 0:05:28.040 --> 0:05:31.120 Here's an idea for you, Joe. And this has been 0:05:31.160 --> 0:05:34.760 true since the dawn of man. You make your adversaries 0:05:34.839 --> 0:05:38.159 so afraid to mess with you, they don't mess with you, 0:05:38.480 --> 0:05:41.440 and you have peace and tranquility. And then with that 0:05:41.640 --> 0:05:46.080 power you have, you exercise it compassionately and with justice. 0:05:46.520 --> 0:05:48.120 You help the downtrodden. 0:05:48.200 --> 0:05:53.599 You send aircraft carriers to tsunami sites, You act with 0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:59.720 decency and kindness, but yes, strength, enormous, overwhelming strength. Israel 0:05:59.760 --> 0:06:02.560 has the chance to knock it around back by a 0:06:02.640 --> 0:06:06.960 decade in terms of being a regional and perhaps global threat. 0:06:07.880 --> 0:06:08.720 You gotta do it. 0:06:09.160 --> 0:06:11.320 If Tally Bennett, who we've quoted a couple of times, 0:06:11.320 --> 0:06:14.000 he's the former Israeli Prime minister, said has Boll and 0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:17.960 Hamas are paralyzed temporarily, and Iran is exposed right now, 0:06:17.960 --> 0:06:20.600 they're naked, they don't have the ability to protect themselves. 0:06:20.800 --> 0:06:23.719 Israel has the greatest opportunity in fifty years to change 0:06:23.720 --> 0:06:25.960 the face of the Middle East. 0:06:26.400 --> 0:06:30.560 The National Review editorial board has a piece today. Their 0:06:30.680 --> 0:06:35.880 editors have a piece, actually it came out yesterday basically saying, remember, 0:06:35.920 --> 0:06:38.560 this is all Obama's fault, and they're just carrying on 0:06:38.600 --> 0:06:41.320 the same strategy of you know, let's just deal with them, 0:06:41.400 --> 0:06:43.760 give them more money, loosen up money so that they 0:06:43.800 --> 0:06:46.120 won't need to get a nuclear weapon, or I don't 0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:48.080 even under I never understood. 0:06:47.600 --> 0:06:48.599 The philosophy at all. 0:06:49.320 --> 0:06:51.320 I hear it brought up on your lefty cable news 0:06:51.400 --> 0:06:53.279 channels all the time, and Ian Bremmer brings it up. 0:06:53.440 --> 0:06:55.160 I like, but all the time, just. 0:06:55.080 --> 0:06:58.719 Say Trump got out of the Iranian nuclear deal that 0:06:58.760 --> 0:06:59.719 Obama put together. 0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:05.239 Yeah, it was working, graz was it? Oh? Uh? 0:07:05.279 --> 0:07:07.479 Anyway, So they point that out and that at every 0:07:07.680 --> 0:07:09.960 turn I'll read from it. At every escalation by Iran, 0:07:10.000 --> 0:07:12.520 the response by the Biden Harris administration has been to 0:07:12.560 --> 0:07:16.239 show weakness. They always talk about their ironclad support for Israel, 0:07:16.360 --> 0:07:19.280 but it's failed to recognize that defensive measures against Iran 0:07:19.520 --> 0:07:21.840 can only go so far when they aren't accompanied by 0:07:21.840 --> 0:07:25.880 a strong offensive response to re establish deterrence. 0:07:25.920 --> 0:07:26.800 There's no deterrence. 0:07:27.120 --> 0:07:29.520 So their final paragraph is this time the response to 0:07:29.560 --> 0:07:32.440 Iranian aggression must be different. For the second time in 0:07:32.480 --> 0:07:35.360 five months, Iran has fired hundreds of projectiles at Israel 0:07:35.560 --> 0:07:37.840 thanks to the gains the regime is believed to have 0:07:37.840 --> 0:07:41.480 made in uranium enrichment under the Biden Harris administration. There's 0:07:41.520 --> 0:07:43.920 simply no way Israel can take the chance that the 0:07:43.960 --> 0:07:46.920 next time Iran launches such an attack, some of the missiles. 0:07:46.600 --> 0:07:48.280 Could be loaded with nuclear warheads. 0:07:48.480 --> 0:07:51.640 It's believed that Iran's within a couple of weeks if 0:07:51.640 --> 0:07:54.320 they decided to go to get a nuclear weapon. 0:07:54.640 --> 0:07:56.880 Why would you not interrupt that? 0:07:57.000 --> 0:07:59.720 Why wouldn't we be in favor of Israel, interrupting that 0:08:00.480 --> 0:08:04.120 it's hard to imagine the reasons I've just enunciated about 0:08:04.160 --> 0:08:08.960 the head of our government Defense Israel. Israel's Defense Minister 0:08:09.080 --> 0:08:12.760 Joev Galan, who has disagreed rather vehemently with net Nyahou 0:08:12.800 --> 0:08:16.480 on various questions in recent days, said Iran has not 0:08:16.560 --> 0:08:19.120 learned a simple lesson. Those who attack the State of 0:08:19.200 --> 0:08:23.000 Israel pay a heavy price. The heavier the price, the 0:08:23.120 --> 0:08:26.320 rarer the attacks. Well, you know, I don't know nothing, 0:08:26.360 --> 0:08:30.280 but Iran's in the weakest position it's been and we 0:08:30.360 --> 0:08:34.120 got a couple of aircraft carriers and nearly fifty thousand 0:08:34.160 --> 0:08:37.280 troops around the United States. Does when would be a 0:08:37.280 --> 0:08:39.600 better time to attack Iran than when they're weak and 0:08:39.640 --> 0:08:41.960 when the biggest bully in the world. 0:08:44.880 --> 0:08:49.320 Has got your back? I mean, is right there? Yeah, yep. 0:08:50.360 --> 0:08:54.880 But that's interesting. So you think the sources, speaking on 0:08:54.880 --> 0:08:58.160 the condition of anonymity they're quoting in the New York 0:08:58.160 --> 0:09:00.200 Times is what do you think that is? 0:09:01.000 --> 0:09:03.880 I think that's crap. I don't know what to think. 0:09:04.360 --> 0:09:08.040 It's it's shocking to me if it's true that Israeli 0:09:08.040 --> 0:09:10.200 officials are telling the Biden people we're not gonna we're 0:09:10.240 --> 0:09:12.040 not going to go very big in anytime soon. 0:09:12.559 --> 0:09:15.160 I just find that impossible to believe. It could be 0:09:15.240 --> 0:09:18.480 pre spin. They could just be turning down the heat 0:09:18.520 --> 0:09:24.920 on the burner of their American Israeli relations, and then 0:09:24.960 --> 0:09:27.080 when the attack comes, it's going to be a big 0:09:27.120 --> 0:09:30.840 and nasty get to forgiveness, not permission. They're probably thinking. 0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:36.240 That, yeah, well, they didn't alert the Biden administration to 0:09:36.640 --> 0:09:42.160 the snuffing of Azraala, And you do that on purpose, 0:09:42.400 --> 0:09:45.600 so that you know, Biden isn't put in a position 0:09:45.679 --> 0:09:47.760 politically where he says, yeah, I knew about it, but 0:09:47.920 --> 0:09:50.840 I couldn't stop them, or I didn't stop them, or whatever. 0:09:51.440 --> 0:09:54.560 You on purpose, don't tell them. It's doing them a favor. 0:09:55.040 --> 0:09:55.959 Works for both sides. 0:09:56.040 --> 0:10:02.280 Yeah, yeah, yeah, Oh, we'll see how that goes. Yeah. 0:10:02.360 --> 0:10:06.160 I worry that some of our brethren on the right 0:10:06.240 --> 0:10:11.520 who are of a more what word would they use, Well, 0:10:11.559 --> 0:10:13.720 they always go on about forever wars. 0:10:13.840 --> 0:10:15.920 If that's an argument, it's just a slogan. 0:10:16.040 --> 0:10:17.920 I don't know what you'd call it as a philosophy, 0:10:17.960 --> 0:10:21.560 but I have heard from a number of people I 0:10:21.600 --> 0:10:24.319 know enough for it to like make me think it's 0:10:24.320 --> 0:10:28.400 a wave of people that I know are are super red, 0:10:29.120 --> 0:10:31.160 super trumpy. We say we got to get out of 0:10:31.160 --> 0:10:33.400 these wars. That's the phrase I keep hearing, we got 0:10:33.400 --> 0:10:37.760 to get out of these wars. That And so I 0:10:37.800 --> 0:10:42.199 don't know how much of the right feels that way now, 0:10:42.240 --> 0:10:44.240 but I definitely feel like it's growing. 0:10:45.360 --> 0:10:49.600 Yeah, I would agree completely, And and it's one, you know, 0:10:49.800 --> 0:10:54.080 relevant and appropriate discussion. To what extent and in what 0:10:54.120 --> 0:10:56.760 way should the United States project its power around the globe? 0:10:56.920 --> 0:11:00.280 Where and when that's that's a great discussion, and you 0:11:00.360 --> 0:11:04.439 might think less than I do. But some of it 0:11:04.520 --> 0:11:10.920 becomes this simplistic, classic isolationism that was a mistake forty 0:11:11.000 --> 0:11:11.520 years ago. 0:11:12.920 --> 0:11:15.480 And now that you can. 0:11:15.360 --> 0:11:17.840 Reach out and touch someone from anywhere on the globe, 0:11:18.679 --> 0:11:20.800 the idea that we ought to retreat to our own 0:11:20.880 --> 0:11:22.880 shores and mind our own business in the world won't 0:11:22.880 --> 0:11:23.640 come looking for us. 0:11:23.679 --> 0:11:25.600 I just don't think it's true. I think it's naive 0:11:25.800 --> 0:11:28.240 a lot of it. But there are subtleties involved. 0:11:28.280 --> 0:11:31.839 And if you're of that, you know, ideology or thought 0:11:32.280 --> 0:11:35.080 that we're describing, you know, knock us out an email 0:11:35.080 --> 0:11:37.400 mail bag at Armstrong and Getty dot com if you've 0:11:38.240 --> 0:11:39.600 dissent is welcomed here. 0:11:40.040 --> 0:11:42.280 I'm sure Trump's aware of how much of his party 0:11:42.280 --> 0:11:44.280 feels that way and probably has a you know, some 0:11:44.320 --> 0:11:46.839 pretty good pulling on it. A lot of it's led 0:11:46.880 --> 0:11:51.839 by Tucker Carl Carlson and others like him. We got, 0:11:51.960 --> 0:11:55.040 we got to stay out of these wars, equating Iraq, 0:11:55.120 --> 0:12:00.000 which was practically pointless and Afghanistan, which was handled incredible 0:12:00.160 --> 0:12:04.440 poorly for many decades. With these two situations which are very, 0:12:04.520 --> 0:12:07.520 very different. Oh yeah, yeah, that's just silly. Anyway, Is 0:12:07.520 --> 0:12:09.680 it going to be fun to follow over the coming months, years, 0:12:09.720 --> 0:12:12.520 and decades, perhaps centuries, although I won't be around for that. 0:12:12.559 --> 0:12:16.560 We got a lot more on the way. Stay here. 0:12:17.480 --> 0:12:20.400 I don't know where you all are, but here in 0:12:20.440 --> 0:12:23.320 northern California where we broadcast from, it's been like one 0:12:23.400 --> 0:12:27.240 hundred and five degrees the first couple of days of October. 0:12:27.360 --> 0:12:30.880 What the hell? The climate is changing. 0:12:32.800 --> 0:12:35.960 I refuse to use individual days or weather events to 0:12:36.720 --> 0:12:38.839 confirm that, but I and. 0:12:39.360 --> 0:12:40.800 I agree the climate is changing. 0:12:40.920 --> 0:12:43.400 Yes, because from where I'm from, it used to snow 0:12:43.440 --> 0:12:44.480 and it doesn't snow anymore. 0:12:44.640 --> 0:12:46.040 I mean that's pretty major change. 0:12:46.400 --> 0:12:48.160 Oh you know, what I didn't get to the second 0:12:48.160 --> 0:12:51.679 aspect of the devastating damage done to in particular or 0:12:51.760 --> 0:12:57.600 western North Carolina, the recent hurricane that packed tremendous power. 0:12:57.679 --> 0:13:00.400 Even if it has it got far further north than 0:13:01.200 --> 0:13:02.880 hurricanes generally do any damage. 0:13:02.960 --> 0:13:06.240 Yeah, Ashville is a long way from the coast. Oh yes, 0:13:06.240 --> 0:13:07.680 it's way up in the mountains. Anyway. 0:13:08.200 --> 0:13:11.040 It's a part of it's about the Brown Ocean, which 0:13:11.160 --> 0:13:13.280 is something I had in all my years on the 0:13:13.280 --> 0:13:16.839 planet not been aware of. If there is like really 0:13:16.880 --> 0:13:21.560 heavy rainfall in a region and the ground is pretty saturated, hurricane, 0:13:21.559 --> 0:13:25.200 a tropical storm can actually pick up moisture and power 0:13:25.320 --> 0:13:29.559 out of the ground as it as it covers you know, 0:13:29.640 --> 0:13:32.760 the ground and gains strength as if it's going over 0:13:32.840 --> 0:13:35.319 the Gulf of Mexico with its warm waters. 0:13:36.000 --> 0:13:39.320 And that's what happened here. They call it the Brown Ocean. 0:13:39.360 --> 0:13:40.280 I don't like that term. 0:13:40.320 --> 0:13:44.880 It either sounds disgusting or sexual or something you're. 0:13:44.760 --> 0:13:48.800 A child, wake up and smell the meteorology. 0:13:49.040 --> 0:13:50.760 Anyway. I thought that was interesting. 0:13:50.800 --> 0:13:53.000 The other aspect of it that I brought up was 0:13:53.040 --> 0:13:56.080 that it has devastated all sorts of red towns and 0:13:56.120 --> 0:13:59.080 counties in western North Carolina, and the authorities are not 0:13:59.120 --> 0:14:02.439 sure they can get the together, the whole the procedures, 0:14:02.440 --> 0:14:05.719 the polling places, the mail out, mail in ballots, all 0:14:05.760 --> 0:14:05.960 of it. 0:14:06.160 --> 0:14:07.079 That is interesting. 0:14:07.240 --> 0:14:10.880 And also I meant to mention this, this is a 0:14:11.000 --> 0:14:14.199 burbling thing in circles on the right who take in 0:14:14.240 --> 0:14:17.880 a lot of social media. The response and a lot 0:14:17.880 --> 0:14:21.880 of this. Brit Hume retweeted this, I saw if what 0:14:22.000 --> 0:14:24.480 this man is saying about helicopters it could have saved 0:14:24.480 --> 0:14:27.400 live staying grounded because of a lack of orders is true. 0:14:27.440 --> 0:14:30.160 It is a scandal. There's a lot of that flying 0:14:30.200 --> 0:14:31.800 around on social media. I don't know how much of 0:14:31.800 --> 0:14:34.080 it is accurate or not, of people who are trying 0:14:34.080 --> 0:14:38.880 to rescue and getting thwarted by you know, mall cops, 0:14:39.360 --> 0:14:43.080 people who are really flexing their authority rightly or wrongly, 0:14:43.400 --> 0:14:46.480 and not allowing things to get fixed. 0:14:46.520 --> 0:14:48.440 And it's become a huge problem. 0:14:48.600 --> 0:14:52.600 And the multiple deaths are being attributed to this interesting 0:14:52.640 --> 0:14:58.240 and there's so much you know, mayhem going on right now. 0:14:58.240 --> 0:14:59.920 The stories haven't been able to get out. But as 0:15:00.240 --> 0:15:02.600 Hume points out, there if some of these stories are 0:15:02.800 --> 0:15:05.720 the way they sound like, somebody saying I was going 0:15:05.800 --> 0:15:08.000 to try to rescue them off the roof, but the 0:15:08.080 --> 0:15:11.360 local deputy fire chief for the county, who's never been 0:15:11.400 --> 0:15:13.480 able to tell anybody what to do before in his life, 0:15:13.680 --> 0:15:16.880 wouldn't let us do it, and then people died. If 0:15:16.920 --> 0:15:18.840 some of these story stories turn out to be true, 0:15:18.840 --> 0:15:20.000 they're gonna be quite scandalous. 0:15:20.880 --> 0:15:21.120 Yeah. 0:15:21.240 --> 0:15:24.280 I guess if it's just local authorities, I don't think 0:15:24.280 --> 0:15:25.960 it means anything except locally. 0:15:26.120 --> 0:15:29.000 But well yeah, yeah, no, I'm not making it claiming 0:15:29.000 --> 0:15:32.160 it has a presidential significance or anything like that. 0:15:32.280 --> 0:15:33.640 I'm not neither anti lar. 0:15:34.120 --> 0:15:35.840 Yeah, a lot of people are working really hard to 0:15:35.840 --> 0:15:36.640 make this political life. 0:15:36.720 --> 0:15:38.760 Yeah, surely rings true, though, doesn't it. 0:15:38.800 --> 0:15:41.440 Tavin't you had that experience, you know, the person that 0:15:41.480 --> 0:15:43.800 gets well, we saw it during COVID over and over 0:15:43.800 --> 0:15:45.400 and over again, your county health person. 0:15:46.080 --> 0:15:49.760 Yeah yeah, yeah, So completely different topic. 0:15:49.800 --> 0:15:52.680 Two Harvard students have created an eerie demo of how 0:15:52.840 --> 0:15:56.480 smart glasses, including the new ray Ban Meta smart glasses, 0:15:57.360 --> 0:16:01.400 can use facial recognition tech to instantly diex people's identities, 0:16:01.560 --> 0:16:04.400 phone numbers, addresses, relatives, the whole deal. 0:16:04.720 --> 0:16:07.240 I didn't know I knew. 0:16:07.040 --> 0:16:09.560 Facial recognition technology was pretty good. They're using it at 0:16:09.560 --> 0:16:11.480 airports and ball games. But I didn't know like I 0:16:11.520 --> 0:16:12.720 had access to it, did you? 0:16:13.800 --> 0:16:20.240 This is all currently available stuff technology public databases. One 0:16:20.280 --> 0:16:22.920 of the two students posted a video showcasing the tech 0:16:23.040 --> 0:16:26.480 in action that got picked up by other media. The 0:16:26.560 --> 0:16:29.120 tech works by using the meta smart classes ability to 0:16:29.200 --> 0:16:33.400 live stream video to Instagram. A computer program then monitors 0:16:33.440 --> 0:16:37.120 that stream and uses AI to identify faces. Those photos 0:16:37.120 --> 0:16:40.120 are then fed into public databases to find names, addresses, 0:16:40.120 --> 0:16:43.640 phone numbers, and even relatives. That information is then fed 0:16:43.680 --> 0:16:47.240 back through a phone app. Now, these are smart college 0:16:47.320 --> 0:16:50.640 kids with a great deal of computer literacy obviously, but 0:16:51.080 --> 0:16:53.840 it's using all readily available stuff. 0:16:53.480 --> 0:16:55.760 And it will be something that even I could use 0:16:56.600 --> 0:16:57.480 six months from now. 0:16:58.960 --> 0:16:59.200 Sure. 0:16:59.280 --> 0:17:02.200 Yeah, but they show him using the lasses to identify 0:17:02.240 --> 0:17:05.760 several classmates, their addresses, and names of relatives in real time. 0:17:06.720 --> 0:17:09.760 They do the same with complete strangers on public transits. 0:17:09.840 --> 0:17:11.800 Boy, that's coming. That is going to be the future. 0:17:12.480 --> 0:17:14.040 Armstrong and Geeddy. 0:17:14.720 --> 0:17:18.520 Thinking it's a bit of an administrative snaff oo. Michael 0:17:18.560 --> 0:17:20.879 wasn't actually in the room when we decided which clip 0:17:20.920 --> 0:17:22.040 to come back, right, That's. 0:17:21.880 --> 0:17:23.240 What I was waiting for the clip. 0:17:23.359 --> 0:17:25.600 But that's when I don't think we need a consultant 0:17:25.640 --> 0:17:28.679 to point out the problem with that process. I've looked 0:17:28.720 --> 0:17:31.680 over the problem, and it seems to be you didn't 0:17:31.680 --> 0:17:33.879 tell the guy who has the ability to play the 0:17:33.920 --> 0:17:37.240 clips that he needs to play the clips. The breakdown 0:17:37.280 --> 0:17:40.639 appears to be right here in the process. Michael, if 0:17:40.640 --> 0:17:43.240 you would played clip forty, we would all be gratified. 0:17:43.640 --> 0:17:46.879 The Special Council focusing in particular on Trump's alleged interactions 0:17:46.920 --> 0:17:49.840 with then Vice President Mike Pence, who had refused Trump's 0:17:49.840 --> 0:17:54.119 insistence he stopped the electoral certification on January sixth. Throughout 0:17:54.160 --> 0:17:56.600 the one hundred and sixty five page filing, Smith makes 0:17:56.600 --> 0:17:59.800 the case Trump was acting as a candidate or private citizen, 0:18:00.040 --> 0:18:02.479 not as president, but he was claiming the election was stolen. 0:18:02.640 --> 0:18:06.360 The new filing also alleges Trump allies sought to create chaos, 0:18:06.640 --> 0:18:10.800 including one unnamed Trump supporter shortly after the election, encouraging 0:18:10.960 --> 0:18:13.800 protests even to make them riot. 0:18:13.720 --> 0:18:16.040 For Trump paiding media. This is the biggest story in America. 0:18:16.040 --> 0:18:20.359 It's led every newscast the fact that Smith is still 0:18:20.400 --> 0:18:24.920 trying to bring down Trump. Around January sixth, and figure 0:18:24.960 --> 0:18:28.840 a way around that Supreme Court ruling on immunity, and 0:18:28.920 --> 0:18:32.000 they released a whole bunch of details with this many 0:18:32.040 --> 0:18:36.119 page report yesterday. The question being why did you release 0:18:36.160 --> 0:18:40.200 this in October, weeks before a presidential election. Is there 0:18:40.359 --> 0:18:43.639 any reason that you released it other than to political 0:18:43.920 --> 0:18:45.560 trying to damage Trump before an election? 0:18:46.200 --> 0:18:51.760 Well, yeah, they've unleashed the prosecutions case in a criminal trial. 0:18:53.440 --> 0:18:56.760 So does the defense now go, how do we do 0:18:56.920 --> 0:18:59.399 this when we're trying a case in public like this 0:18:59.480 --> 0:19:04.320 mister in the media, It's interesting, the learned and eloquent 0:19:04.400 --> 0:19:08.280 Jonathan Turley commenting on this forty six place. 0:19:08.800 --> 0:19:13.280 The timing is concerning. Jack Smith knows that this election 0:19:13.480 --> 0:19:17.119 will be the largest jury verdict in history, and this 0:19:17.240 --> 0:19:21.000 comes across as his closing election argument. You know, this 0:19:21.160 --> 0:19:25.560 is the argument against Trump. It's one sided, it's quite elaborate, 0:19:26.240 --> 0:19:29.560 but it is an argument that he wants out there 0:19:29.600 --> 0:19:33.159 before the election, and that will remain troubling for a 0:19:33.160 --> 0:19:34.880 lot of people. It's not going to change a lot 0:19:34.880 --> 0:19:39.040 of minds. But you know, he goes through every detail here. 0:19:40.480 --> 0:19:43.520 I can't believe this happened. It's very James Comy like 0:19:44.680 --> 0:19:49.240 in that you're you're claiming, well, if I had kept 0:19:49.240 --> 0:19:54.840 it secret, I could be blamed for being political by 0:19:54.840 --> 0:19:57.800 not allowing this information to come out. How about you 0:19:57.920 --> 0:20:01.159 air toward will of an investoration is still going on 0:20:01.359 --> 0:20:02.600 or something hasn't been determined. 0:20:02.840 --> 0:20:06.679 Yeah, keep it secret, right right, or just sit on it. 0:20:06.720 --> 0:20:10.600 You don't normally publish this sort of stuff anyway. This 0:20:10.800 --> 0:20:13.679 is an amusing aspect of this whole deal. As I 0:20:13.680 --> 0:20:18.280 said earlier, the Smith indictment is just the old indictment, 0:20:19.480 --> 0:20:23.439 but removing the stuff that's demonstrably Trump doing his official 0:20:23.520 --> 0:20:26.119 duties as president because the Supreme Court said you have 0:20:26.280 --> 0:20:30.080 immunity for that, and so Smith is figuring out, Okay, 0:20:30.119 --> 0:20:33.359 this is as a candidate, this is his private activities, 0:20:33.359 --> 0:20:34.159 blah blah blah. 0:20:34.200 --> 0:20:35.680 So this is the stuff will emphasize. 0:20:35.680 --> 0:20:38.080 But it's the same indictment, just cleansed of some of 0:20:38.080 --> 0:20:39.760 the stuff that Supreme Court said. 0:20:39.560 --> 0:20:40.040 No no to. 0:20:40.640 --> 0:20:40.880 Well. 0:20:42.640 --> 0:20:46.480 Jake Tapper, on the lead on CNN, was launching into 0:20:46.520 --> 0:20:49.840 a story and the graphic running across the bottom of 0:20:49.880 --> 0:20:55.280 the screen said Smith provides never before seeing evidence from 0:20:55.359 --> 0:20:58.040 twenty twenty election case against Trump. 0:20:58.119 --> 0:21:00.360 So that was CNN's narrative that's quite time. 0:21:00.400 --> 0:21:02.560 I would grab my eyes. I would think, wow, stuff 0:21:02.600 --> 0:21:04.919 we haven't heard yet. Well I just seen this. 0:21:05.480 --> 0:21:08.280 But clip forty five, Michael, this is how it actually sounded. 0:21:08.640 --> 0:21:11.080 With polling and our team of intrepid reporters who have 0:21:11.119 --> 0:21:13.200
