Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty arm.
Speaker 2: Strong and Jad Tati and he Armstrong and Yetty.
Speaker 1: What do you say to the forty percent of California
Speaker 1: voters who you'll need in order to win, who voted
Speaker 1: for Trump?
Speaker 2: How would I need them in order to win?
Speaker 1: Man, Well, unless you think you're going to get sixty
Speaker 1: percent of the vote, you think you'll get sixty percent?
Speaker 1: All of everybody who did not vote for Trump will
Speaker 1: vote for you. That's what you're in a general election.
Speaker 3: Yes, you know, she's the awful human being who is
Speaker 3: Katie Porter, California politician would be governor of the biggest
Speaker 3: state in the Union.
Speaker 2: Is an awful person. But that was kind of a question.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't understand that question at all. It doesn't
Speaker 4: make any sense to me. But the viral video that
Speaker 4: has spread around America politically, and I've seen it in
Speaker 4: all kinds of national newscasts coming out of California. Where
Speaker 4: we are, this woman who was odds on favorite maybe
Speaker 4: to be the next governor of California has completely blown
Speaker 4: up her campaign by not handling that well, let's play
Speaker 4: a little bit of how that went.
Speaker 2: I'm going to try to win every vote I can.
Speaker 2: And what I'm saying to you is that, well to
Speaker 2: those voters.
Speaker 1: Okay, so you I.
Speaker 5: Don't want to keep doing this, I'm gonna call it.
Speaker 2: Oh, thank you.
Speaker 1: You're not gonna do the interview with them, not like this.
Speaker 1: I'm not not with seven follow ups to every single
Speaker 1: question you ask.
Speaker 2: And it goes on.
Speaker 4: She's a I called her a b joseahs, she has
Speaker 4: graduated from a bee to a c.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, she's done the work.
Speaker 3: Oh, she has thoroughly done the work of being a
Speaker 3: bee and deserves the sea.
Speaker 4: Yes with this new clip, So how do we set
Speaker 4: this up?
Speaker 2: There? They're doing a little video in a kitchen or something.
Speaker 3: Yeah, she's doing a video with Jennifer grand Holme, the
Speaker 3: former Secretary of Education, where they're just reading the yay
Speaker 3: yay rah rah. Joe Biden has a wonderful presidency thing,
Speaker 3: and and she says something that's blatantly untrue about electric vehicles,
Speaker 3: I mean, just like wildly inaccurate. And that was the
Speaker 3: conversation about how EV's are so clearly the future and
Speaker 3: everybody loves them and this is such an important we're
Speaker 3: going to end climate change. It's just obnoxious. But then
Speaker 3: she says something wildly inaccurate about EV's and her aide says, hey, whoa, whoa,
Speaker 3: it's actually and and and comes into the shot and
Speaker 3: the state.
Speaker 6: Could lose.
Speaker 4: Out of my shot.
Speaker 2: I wanted to tell you that that's actually correct.
Speaker 6: It's not that it's electric vehicles, it's that And you
Speaker 6: don't need to commit at any comparis climate word.
Speaker 2: Okay, it doesn't. Okay, you also were in my shot
Speaker 2: before that. Stay out of my shot. God, she seems
Speaker 2: like a horrible human being.
Speaker 3: It's a shame we had to bleep all of that
Speaker 3: out because it is quite the obscenity soaked tirade for
Speaker 3: a correcting her and b getting in her shot, which
Speaker 3: of course they just then pick up because you can
Speaker 3: edit video and they just continue on.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 4: So in the wide world of news today, that's Mark
Speaker 4: Calprin's outfit. Katie Porter's California gubenertorial campaign on the ropes
Speaker 4: after two viral videos reveal the temperament she has always
Speaker 4: put on vivid display behind the scenes. Yes, that's a
Speaker 4: reporting of people who know of her and as well said,
Speaker 4: as we have pointed out in one party states, this
Speaker 4: is the kind of monster you get because there's nobody
Speaker 4: to run against them. I mean, you frighten off people
Speaker 4: in your own party by being such an a hole,
Speaker 4: and there's the other party doesn't have a chance of
Speaker 4: beating you, and you.
Speaker 2: End up with these kind of people.
Speaker 4: She's clearly a horror, rrible human being, and there's plenty
Speaker 4: of other people that could be doing that job that
Speaker 4: aren't horrible human beings. So get her the freak out.
Speaker 4: You know, part of me pities her because she's obviously
Speaker 4: boiling with anger, obvious and can barely suppress it. But
Speaker 4: she should not be in power. The Great Matt Tayebi
Speaker 4: wrote the following, and first of all, he apologizes he's
Speaker 4: been sick and in a funk for days, and then
Speaker 4: he says, but then I saw Laurie Watt's CBS interview
Speaker 4: with California gubernatorial candidate Katie Porter and finally laughed, which
Speaker 4: in turn led to reading court filings with quotes like
Speaker 4: she then took a ceramic bowl of steaming hot potatoes
Speaker 4: and dumped it on my head, and also her screaming
Speaker 4: at her husband or are you so effing stupid you
Speaker 4: can't make jello?
Speaker 2: Among other things. My God, that poor guy who was
Speaker 2: married to her, she went.
Speaker 3: To I believe his court mandated anger counseling because of
Speaker 3: assaulting her husband. And then Tybe says, only a terrible
Speaker 3: person would watch. Oh, I'm sorry, that's different, he says.
Speaker 3: I then stayed up late last night reading her twenty
Speaker 3: twenty three memoir I Swear Politics is Messier than My Minivan,
Speaker 3: which is a.
Speaker 2: Great title anyway, he says.
Speaker 3: The book is less funny but still fascinating as a
Speaker 3: field guide to a newly prevalent personality type.
Speaker 2: This is the person who simmers with.
Speaker 3: Nuclear rage while scrupulously cataloging all of the mistakes the
Speaker 3: vast flawed universe of other people make in delaying his
Speaker 3: or her obviously deserves success. As I'm about to record
Speaker 3: America this week, one of the reasons I'm proud to
Speaker 3: be an American is that hers is a country where
Speaker 3: entertainingly crazy people get to thrive. Porter's best strategic move
Speaker 3: is to embrace the viral crazes grade by the Watch
Speaker 3: Exchange and go full DNC mathfra from here Mara.
Speaker 2: But that whole.
Speaker 3: Simmering with nuclear rage and cataloging all of the flaws
Speaker 3: of anybody who stands in her way. That reminds me
Speaker 3: so much of the Kamala Harris book, except Kamala Harris
Speaker 3: is like high on three glasses of chardonnay, and she
Speaker 3: doesn't have that Katie Porter.
Speaker 2: Rage, no.
Speaker 6: Shot.
Speaker 4: No Kamala Harris is dumb. She's not a B or
Speaker 4: a C. That's a different thing, this Katie portion. I
Speaker 4: don't like Kamala Harris's politics, and I don't think she's
Speaker 4: real smart. I hate this woman. The fact that this
Speaker 4: Katie Porter woman had any power to do anything is
Speaker 4: horrifying to me. And the fact that she was that
Speaker 4: close to becoming governor of California. Now, we did, in
Speaker 4: our pre show meeting come to the realization that the
Speaker 4: best thing for the show would be if she did
Speaker 4: get elected governor. So if we want to prioritize the
Speaker 4: show over you know, human beings in the biggest state
Speaker 4: of America.
Speaker 3: Uh, And I do, yes, I've already donated the MAX
Speaker 3: to her campaign.
Speaker 4: Her being governor would be fantastic. But it's just terrible
Speaker 4: that anybody with that temperament could rise up through the
Speaker 4: ranks of anything, and.
Speaker 3: She's well known as a monster behind the scenes in politics.
Speaker 3: Her staff turnover was sixty five percent per year, I believe,
Speaker 3: which is put quadruple the normal rate.
Speaker 4: I wouldn't last a day with someone like that. I
Speaker 4: don't care what it would do for my career.
Speaker 3: F you yeah, yeah, wow, one party state. So she
Speaker 3: took up Avin Newsom and Katie Porter. So she took
Speaker 3: a scalding hot bowl of mashed potatoes and dumped him
Speaker 3: on her husband's head.
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, man, that's.
Speaker 3: A pretty brutal assault, screaming are you so effing stupid
Speaker 3: you can't make jello at your spouse for you? Oh,
Speaker 3: I'm out that day.
Speaker 2: Please.
Speaker 3: This guy's got to have, you know, the grantitedy got out.
Speaker 3: God bless him. He had to have something like Stockholm
Speaker 3: syndrome where he was terrified of angering her, less to
Speaker 3: you know, he feeled the brunt of her verbal end
Speaker 3: or physical attacks.
Speaker 4: Well, who knows what the magros I don't know if
Speaker 4: they had kids and you know, or he could have
Speaker 4: been a climber where he realized she was a ticket
Speaker 4: to you know, maybe she's gonna be governor someday and
Speaker 4: I get to be or they got kids.
Speaker 3: Hey never know, but I have a daughter. I know
Speaker 3: because she likes to tout single mothers like me. Oh, yes,
Speaker 3: you're a single mother because you're a monster and you
Speaker 3: drove your husband away.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I got a million dollar bill. I've been on
Speaker 4: the fact that you've talked to your kid the same way.
Speaker 4: Impossible that you haven't. Oh you're a horrible, horrible human being. Wow,
Speaker 4: her career's over. I think there's no way she comes
Speaker 4: back from this, is there, Katie Porter, do humanity a favor.
Speaker 4: Pack some provisions and one of those water filter things
Speaker 4: and hike out into the wilderness and leave the rest.
Speaker 3: Of humanity alone for the rest of your days. We
Speaker 3: all thank you.
Speaker 2: I got into the wilderness right. Become a hermit.
Speaker 4: The only way she's still viable. Like, and this is disgusting.
Speaker 4: It's like you said yesterday. If for some reason she's
Speaker 4: the choice of like the teachers' union and the other
Speaker 4: big unions, then they could propel her to the governor's house.
Speaker 3: Yeah, if she makes a convincing enough case. Because this
Speaker 3: is how California politics works, and it's crazy. Nobody in
Speaker 3: the national media ever writes about this. Either they don't
Speaker 3: know it or I don't know. But if she gets
Speaker 3: the endorsement of the powerful public employee unions and the
Speaker 3: quasi public employee unions like the nurses and stuff like that,
Speaker 3: and the trial attorneys, she will be the next governor
Speaker 3: of California.
Speaker 4: No, make her governor, make her governor unions. That'd be
Speaker 4: so entertaining for the show. We would love that.
Speaker 3: So a word from our friends at web Roots. Oh
Speaker 3: this is so good. I mean, let's start with the
Speaker 3: bad news. Every day, it seems like there's a sophisticated

Speaker 3: cyber Scaries Month in confidence with webroot Total Protection webroot
Speaker 3: dot com slash armstrong.
Speaker 4: So I hadn't heard this, so in the little piece
Speaker 4: in Mark Alpern's news story today, he said this is
Speaker 4: an all time classic. Her quote in response to the
Speaker 4: political video going viral where she says, f you know,
Speaker 4: get out of my effing shot.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I have sought to be more intentional in showing gratitude
Speaker 4: to my staff.
Speaker 2: For their important work. That was her quote.
Speaker 4: I have sought to be more intentional and showing gratitude
Speaker 4: to my staff for their important work.
Speaker 2: That's such a great buzzword these days. Intentionally. You've got
Speaker 2: to be more intentional about everything you did. Oh is it?
Speaker 2: I didn't know. You've got to be.
Speaker 3: Present and be intentional and touch grass while you're being present.
Speaker 4: When you touch grass, I feel seen. So that is fantastic.
Speaker 4: Oh I'm so glad to hear that.
Speaker 3: I am intentionally listening to you right now and.
Speaker 2: I feel so seen. Oh so good.
Speaker 4: We have got a little more on the big piece deal.
Speaker 4: That's the biggest story in the world today, among a
Speaker 4: whole bunch of other things on the waist to stay here.
Speaker 5: Shot. Today it was the eightieth anniversary of the first
Speaker 5: patent for the microwave.
Speaker 4: To celebrate, they had a cake that was scorching hot
Speaker 4: on the outside and ice cold in the middle.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I'm not sure, Mike, worry, but technology has improved much
Speaker 4: since the first one we used in nineteen seventy.
Speaker 2: Seven, roughly in my house when I was a kid. Less.
Speaker 3: Likely to kill you if you have a pacemaker, as
Speaker 3: I understand it. But yeah, yeah, I just I had
Speaker 3: that exact experience last night. If it's something that can
Speaker 3: be stirred, yeah, obviously have to stir it, you know,
Speaker 3: part of the way through. But if it's not, I
Speaker 3: it's like a he's a chicken.
Speaker 2: Yeah, anyway, you're gonna.
Speaker 4: Have a cold bite, and then you're gonna have a
Speaker 4: bite that burns the top of your tongue, right exactly.
Speaker 3: Coming up Seattle's mayor saying, repeat offenders who hurt people
Speaker 3: and commit crimes over and over and over again are
Speaker 3: probably just misunderstood and putting him mit jail wouldn't help. No, unbelievable,
Speaker 3: the insanity of progressivism on display.
Speaker 2: Plus this story.
Speaker 3: He's gay, she's straight, and they're happily married.
Speaker 4: He's gay, so he likes other dude. She's straight, she
Speaker 4: likes guys, and they're happily ma.
Speaker 2: Now, okay, yes, it's.
Speaker 3: A new trend, jack, the lavender marriage they call it.
Speaker 3: Oh really, okay, this isn't just a couple you're going
Speaker 3: to tell us about it. It's a trend, the lavender marriage,
Speaker 3: or so the journalists are trying to make you believe.
Speaker 2: I don't know anybody like that. Not okay, the science.
Speaker 4: They came across the term lavender marriage the other day
Speaker 4: somewhere somebody made a joke and that was in it,
Speaker 4: and I thought, I need to google that because I
Speaker 4: don't know what that is. But all right, cool, I'm
Speaker 4: glad I'm now up to speed on what lavender marriages are.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, clear that out of your head, make
Speaker 3: room for something that matters. I just saw a video
Speaker 3: of Gossen's chanting Trump Trump Trump and Israeli's chanting Trump
Speaker 3: Trump Trump. Wow.
Speaker 2: How much does he love that? One? Two? How amazing
Speaker 2: is that?
Speaker 4: Anyway, We'll get into the Middle East peace process here
Speaker 4: in just a little bit. It's it's something else that
Speaker 4: is not the biggest story in the world. According to
Speaker 4: the Wide World of News newsletter today, the biggest story
Speaker 4: in the world long term is this comes out of
Speaker 4: the Wall Street Journal. China tightened its control over critical
Speaker 4: minerals used to make high tech products, including electric vehicles
Speaker 4: and jet fighters yesterday. Their export applications for products with
Speaker 4: military uses won't be approved, the Ministry said, adding that
Speaker 4: the licenses related to semiconductors or artificial intelligence development much
Speaker 4: of it that they have the best in the world
Speaker 4: and that we need for our jet fighters and AI
Speaker 4: stuff and electric cars their same nan We.
Speaker 2: Ain't given them to you at all. Yeah.
Speaker 3: In a related story, they China is by far by
Speaker 3: multiples the biggest consumer of American soybeans other than America,
Speaker 3: and they've ordered none.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll get back to you. We might order some.
Speaker 3: So they on both ends of the trade equation are
Speaker 3: flexing their muscles and balling up their fists.
Speaker 4: As we all learned during COVID when we found out
Speaker 4: that wait a second, every medicine I take in my
Speaker 4: life is made in China. Turns out a lot of
Speaker 4: other important stuff too, like super fast computer chips and
Speaker 4: the things you need to make a jet fighter. How
Speaker 4: in the world do you get to the point that
Speaker 4: your obvious number one foe on planet Earth is in
Speaker 4: control of the important stuff you need to make a
Speaker 4: jet plane.
Speaker 3: The pathetic naivete is that the right word of the Hey,
Speaker 3: things are fawn with China and there never be a
Speaker 3: conflict again, and we can become completely dependent on them
Speaker 3: for like the most critical minerals and the most critical technology,
Speaker 3: and there's no downside because they sell it to us cheap.
Speaker 2: It's unbelievable.
Speaker 3: It's being asleep at the national security switch.
Speaker 4: So before we take a break and get into the
Speaker 4: amazing piece thing that Trump has pulled off, it looks
Speaker 4: like in the Middle East that everybody left, right and
Speaker 4: center is hailing you said, you watch a little baseball
Speaker 4: last night.
Speaker 2: I don't How much do you care about.
Speaker 4: The amount of money teams spend in all your pro sports,
Speaker 4: I mean, because to a certain extent, the team that
Speaker 4: wins is not always definitely not always. You can't just
Speaker 4: buy a championship, but pretty regularly the best teams out
Speaker 4: there have the highest payrolls.
Speaker 2: And it's just flat, it's just flat.
Speaker 4: That So the Dodgers are the most expensive team in
Speaker 4: all of Major League Baseball by quite a bit. Then
Speaker 4: you got the Yankees who lost last night, so they're out.
Speaker 2: Then you got the Toronto Blue.
Speaker 4: Jays who beat the Yankees last night, or right behind
Speaker 4: the Yankees, and you got the Philadelphia Phillies who are
Speaker 4: playing the Dodgers. So you know, and every once in
Speaker 4: a while you have teams like this. This is one reason,
Speaker 4: you know, I could root for the Brewers easily.
Speaker 2: There.
Speaker 4: So the Dodgers payroll this year three hundred and fifty
Speaker 4: million dollars, three hundred and fifty million dollars for one
Speaker 4: year to field the baseball team of all stars. That
Speaker 4: they've got the Brewers one hundred and eleven million. Wow,
Speaker 4: And they had the best record in of all of baseball,
Speaker 4: and they are headed to another round probably, But I
Speaker 4: don't know if that should that matter should I just
Speaker 4: enjoy sports, says it is and I'll pay attention to then,
Speaker 4: or I don't know.
Speaker 2: You know it it's almost like.
Speaker 3: A plot device to me, like a plot twist, or
Speaker 3: it makes the the evil powerful guy more fun to
Speaker 3: root against. Yeah, but at the point where you know
Speaker 3: it's just six out of or you know, seven out
Speaker 3: of the final eight teams are all at the top
Speaker 3: of the payroll chart, that's kind of a fun suck.
Speaker 2: Honestly, it is a little bit, isn't it. Well for
Speaker 2: the other teams, you don't have a chance.
Speaker 4: Well, the average in Major League Baseball is one hundred
Speaker 4: and seventy five million. That's the average, one hundred and
Speaker 4: seventy five million. Your your top four teams are all
Speaker 4: around three hundred million, almost double that. Yeah, and they're
Speaker 4: the teams that are in the playoffs. So you know,
Speaker 4: if you root for a team that's that lower end, generally,
Speaker 4: you don't have a chance.
Speaker 2: Right, Right, that's no fun.
Speaker 4: Peace in the Middle East has it finally come? Well,
Speaker 4: it's closer than it's been in a very very long time.
Speaker 4: Maybe ever Armstrong and Geddy, the hostages will come back
Speaker 4: there all.
Speaker 2: Coming back on Monday. But you guys have to say
Speaker 2: to President Trump, this is amazing, mister President. We believe
Speaker 2: in you. We know you've done so much for us
Speaker 2: over the past since you became a president, even before that.
Speaker 2: Can we trust you fulfilled the mission.
Speaker 4: So that's the israelis Donald Trump is the most popular
Speaker 4: politician in Israel by far. He has the best rip
Speaker 4: relationship with Arab leaders any president has ever had. So
Speaker 4: if you have right those two things going for you
Speaker 4: and then the other angle to get this piece deal going.
Speaker 4: Here's Michael Orrin, who get sees on all the shows
Speaker 4: the last couple of days or whatever, former ambassador from
Speaker 4: Israel to the United States, War hero and Israel written
Speaker 4: lots of books. Anyway, here's how he says Trump pulled
Speaker 4: it off.
Speaker 7: The major pressure here was not on Israel, was pushing
Speaker 7: out an open door.
Speaker 2: The major pressures on Hamas. And these leaders in the
Speaker 2: Middle East have had it with Hamas.
Speaker 7: Thomas brought war to the Milife instability, destruction. And what
Speaker 7: begins with Israel Palestine never ends with Israel Palestine. It
Speaker 7: ends up with riots on the streets of Riata and Cairo.
Speaker 7: And they were fed up and they wanted it. Old
Speaker 7: and that is the extraordinary achievement here of bringing all
Speaker 7: of these charities together who don't agree with one another
Speaker 7: and certainly not with Israel, to end the war by
Speaker 7: putting pressure on Hamas.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Trump got all these Arab countries to be anti
Speaker 4: Hamas enough for Hamas to feel like, man, we got
Speaker 4: no friends right now.
Speaker 3: Through both the exercise of and as we were discussing earlier,
Speaker 3: saying hey, there's all sorts of great deals out here
Speaker 3: we can make, and you all could make a ton
Speaker 3: of money if you quit, you know, supporting the evildoers,
Speaker 3: because that's got to happen. But I saw one headline,
Speaker 3: ISRAELI celebrate the release of hostages. And I'm very cautiously,
Speaker 3: very optimistic, just because there are zero horses in barns
Speaker 3: right now. David Ignatius, Jack you mentioned earlier, said he's
Speaker 3: one hundred percent certain. Yeah, he wrote in the Washington
Speaker 3: Post he's one hundred percent certain the hostages will be released.
Speaker 2: And I pray he's right. I really do.
Speaker 3: But anyway, the headline was ISRAELI celebrate the return of hostages.
Speaker 3: But wonder why it took so long? And I would
Speaker 3: like to tell those that Israelis because you had to
Speaker 3: pound Hummas into a position where they had no choice
Speaker 3: but to submit. Probably more on that in a minute.
Speaker 3: You had to make it clear to the Arab world
Speaker 3: that yeah, we'll bomb guys in your cities if we
Speaker 3: have to. We'll take out your nuclear program Iran, you know,
Speaker 3: we'll take down a safe house Syria. And the bombing
Speaker 3: and cutter that was only semi successful. It was the
Speaker 3: application of force, absolutely. It always is that brings people
Speaker 3: to the peace tape. I know, I've heard some people
Speaker 3: make it. See, this is what you need is you
Speaker 3: need to have discussions and bring peace.
Speaker 2: The peace came. Why couldn't this happen sooner?
Speaker 4: That's from the crowd. This is war never solved anything,
Speaker 4: which is hilariously stupid. I mean, war has never solved anything.
Speaker 4: The blowing off the gonads of everybody in Hesblah, the bombing,
Speaker 4: the crap out of Iran, the pounding Gaza, the driving
Speaker 4: Assad out of Syria, all of these things played a
Speaker 4: role in getting to this point.
Speaker 3: Correct, correct, Yeah, anyway, I like this point of view
Speaker 3: from the Wall Street Journal. It's summer said, and Dove Lieber,
Speaker 3: who's been doing some good writing all through this thing.
Speaker 3: To the world, Hamas said it accepted major parts.
Speaker 2: Did we have more of a Michael Laurn we wanted
Speaker 2: to play? No? Okay, not right now? Okay.
Speaker 3: To the world, Hamas said it accepted major parts of
Speaker 3: President Trump's peace plan. Internally, HAMAS remains bitterly divided over
Speaker 3: how to proceed.
Speaker 2: Oh I'm sure, yeah, yeah, I'm sure.
Speaker 4: You got Friday nineteen year old HAMAS members who were
Speaker 4: perfectly willing to fight to the end.
Speaker 3: Right on Friday, Hamas said they were willing to release
Speaker 3: hostages and hand over Gaza, a landmark statement boosting Trump's
Speaker 3: push for an end of the war, But Hamas used
Speaker 3: hedged language that some observers saw as problematic to clinching
Speaker 3: a final peace. Big reason is that Hamas hasn't reached
Speaker 3: consensus about disarming and under what conditions to let the
Speaker 3: hostages go. Khalil al Haya, Hamas's top negotiator, who Netahu
Speaker 3: tried to drop a bomb on his head and got
Speaker 3: his son, and several other senior political officials support accepting
Speaker 3: the proposal despite significant reservations, according to Arab mediators, But
Speaker 3: those Hamas officials based outside Gaza have limited sway over
Speaker 3: the group's armed wing, which remains in Gazah go ahead,
Speaker 3: armed wing, you will be hunted down and killed one
Speaker 3: by one, guarantee. Yeah, I just oh god, you gotta
Speaker 3: get the hostages back.
Speaker 2: A return of the susigle a hostigal. Sorry did I
Speaker 2: say sausages. I meant hostages. You know.
Speaker 3: I joked the other day that we need to return
Speaker 3: to a monarchy under Prince William when he's king. But
Speaker 3: Britain is so screwed up. We really never mind Greenland
Speaker 3: and Canada. We need to annex Britain and straighten it
Speaker 3: out again. It's like your dad is a degenerate drunk
Speaker 3: and he's living on the street. Great Britain is our papa,
Speaker 3: you know. Well, Mama, a great Burton birthed us difficult
Speaker 3: birth involving Bayonets and Muskets.
Speaker 4: But they are so messed up. So I don't quite understand.
Speaker 4: I haven't been following closely. What's going to be the
Speaker 4: next step after the hostages are returned by Monday. Hamas
Speaker 4: is the elected government of Gaza, So who's going to
Speaker 4: be the government. Are they going to just be without
Speaker 4: a government for a while? I mean, if Israel pulls
Speaker 4: out who's picking up the garbage and keeping the lights
Speaker 4: on and get shoveling rubble to the side so you
Speaker 4: can start rebuilding what looks like a moonscape.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: The next step, and every single step of this is
Speaker 3: going to be really complicated and difficult, and the pressure
Speaker 3: must continue every day on the evil doers.
Speaker 2: But yeah, the next step is figuring out that very thing.
Speaker 3: If the Israelis withdraw to you the designated line, which
Speaker 3: they're still negotiating, when does this international peace commission take shape.
Speaker 2: In Hamas by the way, agreed for that.
Speaker 3: Unarmed observers could be in Gaza, but not armed forces
Speaker 3: to keep order. So yeah, what that looks like. Nobody's
Speaker 3: one hundred percent sure there's a plan, but.
Speaker 2: You know, to what.
Speaker 3: Extent it manifests itself on the ground, nobody's really sure.
Speaker 4: Yeah, here's a good one to get on. This is
Speaker 4: from News Nation where they had a reporter on the
Speaker 4: ground in Gaza asking questions. They say they're the only
Speaker 4: ones there clips forty five and forty six there.
Speaker 5: It has been a moment that they have been waiting
Speaker 5: for for so long. There has been so much hedged
Speaker 5: optimism and skepticism throughout this whole process because they have
Speaker 5: seen deals get to the finish line only to fizzle
Speaker 5: out in the end. Where you see all these photos
Speaker 5: that have been put out by the Hostages and Missing
Speaker 5: Families forum showing the moments in which they heard the
Speaker 5: news here embracing one another, the smiles, the hope, the
Speaker 5: possibility that this could all be over here, hours ahead
Speaker 5: of this deal. Here, speaking directly with Palestinians, we asked
Speaker 5: them point blank, what do they think about Hamas? What
Speaker 5: have they thought about these last two years? Here's what
Speaker 5: they said.
Speaker 2: You said, you hate Israel? What do you think of Hamas?
Speaker 6: I don't know about Hamas is a bunch of criminals.
Speaker 4: They don't think of our people's needs for seventeen years. Yeah,
Speaker 4: so there was a bunch of those news nation on
Speaker 4: the ground with the pill Gaza. They hate Jews, but
Speaker 4: they also realize Hamas has got to go so well,
Speaker 4: and Hamas was the freely elected government. But then they
Speaker 4: declared as Islamists always do at the end to elections. Yeah,
Speaker 4: and you know, things have gotten bad enough, which is
Speaker 4: what you know, getting back to the whole war never
Speaker 4: solved anything except for everything, things have to get bad. Yeah.
Speaker 2: It did sign the slaves in the US back to you.
Speaker 4: Yeah, or yeah, all of Europe house World War two. Yeah,
Speaker 4: there are a thousand examples. Things got bad enough that
Speaker 4: as much as they hate the Jews, I would guess
Speaker 4: the average Gaza is saying, I don't care. I don't
Speaker 4: care how long the stakes, I don't care. This is
Speaker 4: better than what the direction we were headed, right right,
Speaker 4: Mamoun Malman, mamen, Sorry I got your name wrong. El
Speaker 4: Natour is a guy. You don't know his name, but
Speaker 4: you may be aware of him.
Speaker 3: He was one of those unbelievably brave guys in Gaza.
Speaker 3: He's an Arab Muslim Gaza heighte who was leading anti
Speaker 3: Hamas protests last year, I think it was mostly and
Speaker 3: he had been tortured multiple times and beaten, and he
Speaker 3: mentions that he had been ordered to report to the
Speaker 3: local hospital for an interrogation that evening. And he points
Speaker 3: out that, as they do in most Gaza hospitals, Hamas
Speaker 3: maintains a torture dungeon at Al Shifa, this hospital, hidden
Speaker 3: from the regular wards and operating rooms. He'd been arrested
Speaker 3: by Hamas on twenty occasions tortured more than once. But
Speaker 3: he's written an absolutely brilliant piece entitled free Gaza's Palestinians
Speaker 3: from Hamas, and he makes it clear that there is
Speaker 3: much much more anti Hamas sentiment than you heard publicly,
Speaker 3: because they so openly slaughtered people.
Speaker 2: Would they would.
Speaker 3: Either torture them to death or they mentioned one guy
Speaker 3: who is a journalist, he joined the protest. They broke
Speaker 3: his feet, shot him in the legs. They stabbed another
Speaker 3: activist to death and hurled its body from a tower.
Speaker 3: Often they leave you on your parents' doorstep as a
Speaker 3: message to the other families in the region. And so
Speaker 3: you know, there's a lot of hatred of the Jews,
Speaker 3: whether you know, for reasonable reasons or not, in Gaza.
Speaker 3: But there's much much more resentment of Hamas than it seems.
Speaker 3: There are plenty of people who are down with the
Speaker 3: attacks on October seventh. I am not trying to ain't
Speaker 3: the quote unquote Palestinians is nice folk.
Speaker 4: But yeah, there are plenty of people who despise a
Speaker 4: us Ian bremer. No fan of Trump has some praise
Speaker 4: for him. I'll hit you right after this talking about
Speaker 4: prize picks, and you got baseball season going on right now. Obviously,
Speaker 4: the NFL is as hot as it can be, and
Speaker 4: you got basketball season starting soon. So if you've got
Speaker 4: strong opinions about various players or teams and you want
Speaker 4: to turn those opinions into money, the best way to
Speaker 4: do it is Prize Picks.
Speaker 2: Price Picks also offers injury reboots.
Speaker 3: If one of your players leaves the game in the
Speaker 3: first half and doesn't return, Prize Picks won't count it
Speaker 3: as a loss.
Speaker 2: That is so good.
Speaker 3: You just pick two players, at least two players, and
Speaker 3: say more or less on their stat projections.
Speaker 2: It's as simple as that.
Speaker 3: There's not all sorts of paperwork in keeping track of
Speaker 3: trades and being in a league against us as such
Speaker 3: for daily fantasy sports.
Speaker 2: So download the Prize Picks app today.
Speaker 4: Use the code armstrong to get fifty dollars in lineups
Speaker 4: after you play your first five dollars lineup.
Speaker 2: That coat is armstrong.
Speaker 4: You get fifty dollars in lineups after you play your
Speaker 4: first five dollars lineup.
Speaker 2: That's right.
Speaker 3: Just remember the code armstrong when you download the Prize
Speaker 3: Picks A Prize Picks.
Speaker 2: It's good to be right, so.
Speaker 4: Ian Bremer tweeted out last night if Trump certainly has
Speaker 4: my respect if this goes as planned. Credit for ending
Speaker 4: a war Biden didn't end, Europe didn't end, the Gulf
Speaker 4: States didn't end with Hamas not releasing hostages through all
Speaker 4: those efforts in Israel, still bombing, cutting off aid.
Speaker 2: But Trump was able to do it again.
Speaker 4: Because he was able to pressure Benjamin Nett Yahoo, because
Speaker 4: Trump is more popular than their own prime minister in Israel,
Speaker 4: and he is able to get the Arab States on
Speaker 4: board because to a certain extent, because all the personal
Speaker 4: business deals he's done with them and they trust him.
Speaker 2: So that's quite the deal.
Speaker 3: In answering one of your questions, and continuing a little
Speaker 3: more of Alan Natura's piece about getting rid of Hamas,
Speaker 3: he mentions that they're there are several parts of Northern
Speaker 3: Gaza especial, especially where people can access medical care, by
Speaker 3: their food at market at normal prices and are living
Speaker 3: fairly normal lives because they're not Hamas controlled territory.
Speaker 2: And a lot of people.
Speaker 3: Dismise, despise Hamas As I said, and he says these
Speaker 3: cities should not be an exception, which is why President
Speaker 3: Trump's twenty point peace plan is renewed Gazin's hope for
Speaker 3: more stable future. The power of mister Trump's plan comes
Speaker 3: from Clause seventeen. Even if Hamas refuses to sign the deal,
Speaker 3: the US, together with regional partners, will establish an independent
Speaker 3: civilian administration to manage the large areas of Gaza that
Speaker 3: have already been cleared of Hamas fighters. An international peacekeeping
Speaker 3: body consisting of Palestinian and Arab forces will support the
Speaker 3: new civil administration, ensuring that Hamas never regains control, and
Speaker 3: in turn, Israel will withdraw.
Speaker 2: Its forces from those areas. Again.
Speaker 3: Every single step of this is going to be difficult,
Speaker 3: but it's a solid plan.
Speaker 4: So watching this video the other day from Bill Clinton,
Speaker 4: and I think it was during the presidential campaign, but
Speaker 4: is Bill Clinton in twenty sixteen when Hillary is running
Speaker 4: for president. He gave this speech about Hamas and the
Speaker 4: peace deal that he tried to put together that was
Speaker 4: so good and just ignored by the mainstream media because
Speaker 4: they didn't want it to be true, where he talked
Speaker 4: about Hamas and their phony hospitals and their phony piece
Speaker 4: deals and all the things that they do and how
Speaker 4: awful they are, and you know, nobody wanted to hear
Speaker 4: that noise from Bill Clinton that.
Speaker 3: He's old, he's practically a Republican, right, He's a white man.
Speaker 3: Huh oh, an old white man telling us what to think.
Speaker 4: So I was just looking up at the TV and
Speaker 4: CBS was playing that interview from Katie Porter where she
Speaker 4: gets all angry.
Speaker 2: At the report man that she's got. I would love
Speaker 2: to be in that war room.
Speaker 4: That's always my favorite stuff, crisis control, how they deal
Speaker 4: with you know, when something bad happens. I's streaming at
Speaker 4: her staff and attacking them with her hands.
Speaker 2: So you wouldn't want to be in that war room.
Speaker 4: Yeah, she's probably boiling, boiling potatoes on their head. I
Speaker 4: guarantee her attempted to come back from this is going
Speaker 4: to be fantastic. It's gonna be hilarious. I'm gonna love it.
Speaker 4: We got more on the way to stay here. Shot,
Speaker 4: there you go.
Speaker 6: I wanted you to know that I'm not dying. There
Speaker 6: are just a lot of rumors flying around, but I
Speaker 6: figured if you heard it from me, you'd know that
Speaker 6: I was okay. So anyhow, that's what I wanted to say.
Speaker 6: And I'm not ready to die yet.
Speaker 4: So Dolly Parton's sister, who knew Dolly Parton had a
Speaker 4: sister who was still alive, tweeted out something pray for Dolly.
Speaker 4: So apparently the Dolly World fandom world went nuts thinking
Speaker 4: Dolly was dying. So Dolly had to come out, ye
Speaker 4: stay and say I ain't dying yet. I'm still here.
Speaker 4: My big giant jukes.
Speaker 2: Wow Well said.
Speaker 3: Like the star spangled banner that still flew in our
Speaker 3: national anthem, the dawn's early light. He has emerged to
Speaker 3: declare that she too still flies in the dawn's light.
Speaker 4: So we were all just laughing at these AI videos
Speaker 4: of a politician, Katie Porter of California. Not only did
Speaker 4: she say I'm done with this, I'm quitting the interview
Speaker 4: blah blah blah she had, she attacks the reporter and
Speaker 4: stumps on her in his AI video And it's the
Speaker 4: quality is amazing.
Speaker 2: It really is. It's hilarious and disturbing.
Speaker 4: Especially the last one where she shoves up poor reporter
Speaker 4: to the ground and starts stomping on her in her
Speaker 4: sensible flat you know, flat heels.
Speaker 2: Wow wow, Hey.
Speaker 3: That that monster Jay Jones in Virginia who fantasizes about
Speaker 3: shooting the Republicans in the head and watching their children die,
Speaker 3: and then, when called on it, doubles down and say
Speaker 3: you got to make people suffer physically to change their politics.
Speaker 3: And he's still being backed by all the major Democrats
Speaker 3: in Virginia.
Speaker 2: Is he single because Katie Porter is? Oh, that'd be
Speaker 2: a great couple.
Speaker 3: The two of Oh, what a power couple. They would
Speaker 3: make you holy cow oof.
Speaker 4: Indeed, Katie Porter's poor husband and kid, I'm guessing.
Speaker 3: Oh bitterly berated, verbally, assaulted physically, or staff quits and droves.
Speaker 3: She's a sieging rage machine and yet is advanced far
Speaker 3: in California politics because she has a bare knuckled crusader for.
Speaker 2: The powers that be ring.
Speaker 3: Shot, I'm not in your f and shot, get off
Speaker 3: of my f and show you monster.
Speaker 4: Oh my god, I don't know the last time somebody
Speaker 4: blew up their political career to this extent so quickly.
Speaker 2: That's fantastic.
Speaker 4: And like I said, I think her comeback is gonna
Speaker 4: be hilarious, oh and utterly and since yeah, oh yeah,
Speaker 4: it's just gonna be a train wreck. It's gonna make
Speaker 4: it worse. I guarantee it. It's gonna make it whatever
Speaker 4: attempt she makes, and she's got to do it quickly.
Speaker 4: I'm surprised it's taking this long. Yeah, because it's been
Speaker 4: forty eight hours that that video has been going around
Speaker 4: and everybody's been playing it and maybe evening newscasts nationwide.
Speaker 4: And she thought she was gonna be governor of California,
Speaker 4: which is a pretty plumb job.
Speaker 2: I'm surprised that she hasn't attempted to fix it yet.
Speaker 3: She might be going oddly enough with the Armstrong Egetty
Speaker 3: plan of something crazy is gonna happen.
Speaker 2: Everybody's gonna forget about this. I don't know that's a
Speaker 2: good plan. I generally agree with that.
Speaker 4: But Piece in the Middle East hasn't bumped it off
Speaker 4: the front page today because I'm looking up at the
Speaker 4: TVs and playing it. Oh, we've got Piece in the
Speaker 4: Middle East after a five thousand years. Anyway, here's Katie
Speaker 4: Porter yelling at someone shot.
Speaker 3: The great thing about the insincere is that they think
Speaker 3: they can come off as Since they can't, that's so
Speaker 3: she will attempt that eventually. It's like Gavin Newsom with
Speaker 3: his infamous going to lunch in Napa during COVID.
Speaker 2: And all an early dinner, and we all make mistakes.
Speaker 2: We're all human, we all fall short. Sometimes nobody is
Speaker 2: buying this. Nobody.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so I can't wait for a comeback. We have
Speaker 4: the videos at Armstrong and Getty dot com. I tweeted
Speaker 4: them out if you want to see Katie Porter stomping
Speaker 4: that poor reporter.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, we got more news on the way.
