1
00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George

2
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:07,680
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center.

3
00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:10,320
Speaker 2: Jack Armstrong is Joe Getty.

4
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:23,479
Speaker 1: Armstrong and Jetty, and he Armstrong and Getty. So there's

5
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 1: a giant fraud problem in California if this investigation is

6
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:32,839
Speaker 1: true that just came out. We're about to tell you

7
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,839
Speaker 1: about it in a second. And it matters to the

8
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 1: whole country because it's just an example of when government

9
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 1: gets big and programs get giant at the behest of lefties,

10
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 1: that lots of waste happens.

11
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 3: And because Gavy Newsom is absolutely dead set on being

12
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 3: the president, and there's a lot of smart democratic money,

13
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 3: semi smart behind that effort. And I feel about Gavin

14
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 3: running for president roughly the same way I would feel

15
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 3: as if like I had a neighbor who is a

16
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 3: big bully and he'd, like, you know, hit me several times,

17
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 3: but I couldn't do anything about it, and he announced

18
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 3: he was going to fight like the heavyweight champion of

19
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:10,279
Speaker 3: the world.

20
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 2: That's how I feel Kevin Newsom.

21
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 3: I can't wait to see him get battered anyway politically,

22
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 3: of course, not physically.

23
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 2: I am horror violence.

24
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 3: Here is Gavy boy before we get to the enormous

25
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 3: Medicaid fraud.

26
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 2: Here is the gov.

27
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,960
Speaker 3: Himself and he was Lieutenant governor in twenty fourteen talking

28
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 3: about the bullspit train.

29
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 4: He started with thirty three billion, it went to ninety six.

30
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 4: We valued engineered it, so it's no longer quote unquote

31
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:42,040
Speaker 4: high speed rails higher speed rail. We wildly overstated the

32
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 4: rydership projections. We manipulated some of the revenue projections. There's

33
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 4: only one true high speed rail system in the world

34
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 4: that generates real profit. I thought there were two, and

35
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 4: I remember when President France was here a few months ago.

36
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 4: I complimented him on being one of the two, and

37
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 4: he laughed. His ministers laughed. I said, what do you mean.

38
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 4: They said, well, don't believe what you read about us

39
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 4: joint grant generating profits on our high speed rail. The

40
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,919
Speaker 4: only one is Osaka that generates and that's a different

41
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 4: kind of concentration, urban concentration.

42
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 2: So this is this is going to be a.

43
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 4: Subsidy the bonds, and you double the cost of the bonds.

44
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 4: It is the actual cost of the taxpayers are repaying them.

45
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:26,079
Speaker 1: That sounds like a normal smart guy looking at a

46
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 1: ridiculous project to the bullet train and speaking the truth.

47
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 3: Where did he explaining why it's an absolute no, it's

48
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 3: a hard no. Where did he say that when I

49
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 3: was in twenty fourteen? Does anybody know the context of that?

50
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 3: I don't, actually, I mean, that's all completely true, by

51
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 3: the way, on their own website, it's no longer a

52
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 3: high speed train, it's a slightly faster regular train. And

53
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 3: the numbers he sided have ballooned one and a half

54
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 3: to two times as high as even.

55
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 2: He was talking about. Wow, yeah, it's astonishing.

56
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 1: That's highly troubling. Sorry, so this is about to explode.

57
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 1: I think the California Post editorial board with a piece

58
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:12,559
Speaker 1: about the amount of fraud and waste going on in California.

59
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 1: According to a new City Journal investigation that has just

60
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 1: come out. The investigator's writing, and this came out yesterday,

61
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 1: the best estimates suggests that on the governor's watch that

62
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 1: since twenty eighteen, you know, to be fair of that

63
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: is quite a few years, but fraudster, scammers and organized

64
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: crime rings have stolen at least in California alone, one

65
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty billion dollars from taxpayers.

66
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 3: As I said earlier, Minnesota says, hey, we do fraud

67
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 3: in California, says, hold my chardonnay. Watched this Since twenty eighteen,

68
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 3: one hundred and eighty billion dollars worth a fraud, scams

69
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 3: and organized crime rings. Shocking yet unsurprising in a state

70
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 3: that doesn't even have a mechanism for measuring whether their

71
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 3: homeless industrial complex waste is doing any good.

72
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 2: They don't even have a way to check.

73
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 1: And the numbers will make your eyes gloss over and

74
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 1: you So that's where we go with the total as

75
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 1: as you to understand. But it's unemployment benefits, subsidized healthcare

76
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: for the poor, in home healthcare benefits, welfare programs, homelessness programs,

77
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 1: all these different things that people sign up for that

78
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 1: don't deserve it, or programs that don't accomplish anything, and

79
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,360
Speaker 1: nobody's paying any attention to whether or not they accomplish anything,

80
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: and all those different things. Fraud against taxpayers has saturated California.

81
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,599
Speaker 1: Christopher Ruffo, one of the authors of the investigation, estimates,

82
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:48,239
Speaker 1: based on intel from federal officials, that twenty five percent

83
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 1: of the state's one hundred and ninety seven billion dollar

84
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 1: annual medical budget was lost to fraud. That's about fifty

85
00:04:55,960 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: billion dollars in one year in one program. Fifty billion dollars.

86
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 2: And a quarter of it is fraud every year.

87
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I'm interested to see the pushback on this,

88
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 1: if they even need to push back. I am so

89
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:19,160
Speaker 1: cynical about the modern world and people getting any information

90
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: from any source that doesn't you know, algorithms and whatnot.

91
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 1: If you're a lean left sort of person, blue if

92
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 1: you will, will disinformation from the California Post reach you

93
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:33,039
Speaker 1: at all? Probably not.

94
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 3: Two competing answers. Number One, they see the name Chris Rufohen,

95
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 3: reject it immediately in the mainstream media because Chris has

96
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:45,479
Speaker 3: been such a great writer about the idiocy and dishonesty

97
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:49,720
Speaker 3: of DEI programs. But on the other hand, the Minnesota

98
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 3: fraud got a fair amount of attention. That doesn't mean

99
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 3: because I'm thinking from the twisted perspective of lefty journalist,

100
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:03,479
Speaker 3: you might be able to sell that as Minnesota's off track.

101
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 3: But these giant social programs are overall a good idea.

102
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:10,919
Speaker 3: But if you have to admit that California is with

103
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,479
Speaker 3: that enormous volume, every bit is corrupt and wasting money,

104
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 3: that might be too big an admission for lefty journalists.

105
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 1: And it's likely getting worse or going to get worse

106
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 1: starting as of last year. So in California, April twenty

107
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 1: twenty five, we had a bill that raised the threshold

108
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,720
Speaker 1: for felony welfare fraud from nine hundred and fifty bucks

109
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 1: to twenty five thousand dollars Oh my gosh, which Republican

110
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 1: State Assemblyman Carl Demio said that if that bill becomes law,

111
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 1: it will effectively legalize welfare fraud in California, which is

112
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: likely what happened.

113
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 3: Carl's right, Well, look at what never well, lifting the

114
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 3: limit for shoplifting and then never prosecuting it.

115
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:57,719
Speaker 2: Look at that did for shoplifting. That is something. In

116
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 2: a related story, I have newsoms on drugs. Stay tuned.

117
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: I want to hear that.

118
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 2: I'm ready for.

119
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that fraud thing. I'm gonna be interested

120
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 1: to see if that explodes, if that gets legs. Like

121
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: the Minnesota welfare fraud thing, the numbers are so giant

122
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 1: it's just jaw dropping. But sometimes if something's so big,

123
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 1: it almost doesn't get attention for some weird reason, like

124
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 1: it doesn't register, you can't believe it's true or something

125
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 1: or it seems like too big a problem to even

126
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 1: deal with.

127
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 3: Well, and again, I think from the lefty journalists point

128
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 3: of view, and that's virtually all of them, this is

129
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 3: just too much of a confession about how our dear

130
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 3: programs are terrible and badly run and squandering taxpayer dollars.

131
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 2: That's too much of an indu.

132
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 1: We As it points out in this California post piece

133
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 1: from the Editorial Board, California has the highest taxes in

134
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 1: the country on almost everything, you know, gas and this

135
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: and that and everything like that. With the idea that

136
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 1: we're gonna fix the roads, fix the schools, deal with

137
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 1: the homeless program. We have the homeless people in the

138
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 1: whole country here. The road sucked, the schools are failing.

139
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: So I mean, so if you have the highest taxes

140
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 1: and the worst results, now money is going somewhere.

141
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 2: Sure of course it is. Yep.

142
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 3: So back to the gavinzan drugs thing. He had a

143
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 3: he was part of a ceremony the other day about

144
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 3: the California Service Corps and while the other speakers were speaking,

145
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 3: and this kind of went semi viral online, he was

146
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 3: doing like the you know, the equivalent of the twitchy

147
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 3: peepee dance. I mean, but for a grown man, it

148
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 3: was just moving and going to his nose and twitching

149
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 3: and looking around.

150
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 2: I mean, he was agitated.

151
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 3: I haven't seen it, and it was kind of funny,

152
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 3: but I, you know, being a charitable fellow, believe it

153
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 3: or not either I thought maybe he was just bored,

154
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,239
Speaker 3: or I don't maybe it's his allergies or something like that. Well,

155
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 3: we'd missed when he actually got up to speak, in

156
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:56,959
Speaker 3: which he was. And we'll show the video and we'll

157
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 3: post it at armstrong a getty dot com and Jack

158
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 3: you'll see. But he's sweating, he's twitchy's wiping in his

159
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 3: eyes and dabbing in his nose and stuff.

160
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:11,079
Speaker 2: And here's what he had to say, h b Avenue.

161
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 5: I mean, everything about this is I feel like I'm home.

162
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 5: You know, dyslexics are surrounded by, you know, these special folks,

163
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 5: particularly the young folks there. So I'm grateful.

164
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 1: I'm also.

165
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 5: Weird, Sean, I'm you know, I'm trying to forget what

166
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 5: this is embarrassing. He can turn all that off just

167
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 5: because all the noise, you know that we just need

168
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 5: to turn off. And this is this is this, Listen

169
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 5: to this, this is it, man, This is it? You

170
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:54,080
Speaker 5: want to fix all this stuff?

171
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,200
Speaker 2: This is it? Listen to these guys.

172
00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 5: You know, we'll just sitting there yelling and screaming at

173
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 5: each other there. Everybody's getting each other's throats and trying

174
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 5: to tear everybody down, and you know, how are we

175
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 5: going to get out of this?

176
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 2: This is it?

177
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 5: You heard these guys programs like this, community leaders like this,

178
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 5: and I just it's like, why are we so stupid?

179
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 5: Why can't we just get this? It's so obvious what

180
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 5: we need to do. And so I'm just deeply proud

181
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:25,719
Speaker 5: of this.

182
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 3: It's hard to fall he is, uh, there's something wrong

183
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 3: with him right there. He's probably a microdosing ketamine because

184
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 3: that's very hip among your NAPA Valley elite.

185
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 1: So you're doubling down there. He's on drug thing.

186
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 3: There's something very odd going on there, very odd. That

187
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 3: opening forty seconds was mystifying.

188
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 2: Okatie.

189
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 6: That video circulated on a couple of different platforms yesterday

190
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 6: and there were a lot of comments saying.

191
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 1: Hey, I was a drug app act.

192
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 2: This is drugs.

193
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 3: Like a lot of people play the first chunk again, Michael.

194
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 7: H.

195
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:11,559
Speaker 3: B Avenue.

196
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 5: I mean everything about this is I feel like I'm home.

197
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 5: You know, dyslexics are surrounded by you know, these special folks,

198
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 5: particularly young folks there, so I'm grateful.

199
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:27,199
Speaker 1: I'm also.

200
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 5: Weird tean, I'm you.

201
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:35,959
Speaker 2: Know, it's just damn it in his face. Touch give me,

202
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 2: this is embarrassing. He can turn all that off, super.

203
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 5: Touchy, just because all the noise, you know that we

204
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 5: just need to turn off.

205
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,680
Speaker 2: And this is this is all right. Look, I've done drugs, folks.

206
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 3: There is something very odd happening there, and obviously I

207
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 3: can't nail down what it is. But as Katie said,

208
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 3: drug counselors drug addicts are saying, oh dude, please.

209
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 6: Right, and it's not They're not trying to pull it,

210
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 6: size it or make it like because it's him. They're like,

211
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 6: I've definitely seen this before.

212
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: Hmmm.

213
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:21,320
Speaker 3: The difficulties stringing together coherent well strings of verbiage, thoughts

214
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 3: popping up and not being finished and bopping from sensory

215
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:29,679
Speaker 3: impression to sensory impression, just kind of reacting to it

216
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 3: and throwing out a couple of words and then uh,

217
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 3: and then the visual.

218
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,599
Speaker 6: Was he he was he was wiping his eyes and

219
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:38,680
Speaker 6: his nose in the corners of his mouth. He was

220
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:42,720
Speaker 6: looking around kind of sporadically, and then when he went weird,

221
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 6: he did that thing like trying to crack both sides

222
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 6: of his neck, and it was just there was a

223
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 6: lot going on visually with him. Wow, during that whole

224
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,680
Speaker 6: however long, that was yeah.

225
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 2: Wow.

226
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 1: For some reason me, I was watching a Bill Barr

227
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 1: comedian thing and he said, ladies, here's a dating tip.

228
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 1: If you're ever on a first date with a guy

229
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:08,839
Speaker 1: and he cracks his neck, run.

230
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 2: Wow, anti anti neck tracker. We need to take a break.

231
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 1: But uh so he cracks his neck weird.

232
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, Gavin, get the help you need.

233
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:27,320
Speaker 3: Seriously, it's not an admission of weakness.

234
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:28,839
Speaker 2: You're you're addicted to kidding me.

235
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 1: I can tell you're here to help him. That's what

236
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:36,200
Speaker 1: you're here for. What are your thoughts on that text line?

237
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:44,680
Speaker 1: Four one five nine k FTC. I just saw Kanye

238
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 1: did a what they're calling comeback concert in La last night.

239
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 1: I wonder how that went.

240
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 2: Surprised he's wearing his clan robes.

241
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 1: Was he brought his daughter North on stage to perform

242
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,320
Speaker 1: with Apparently he's.

243
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:58,839
Speaker 2: Past that hate in the Jews thing, right.

244
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 1: Apology well, I think he's passed his manic phase, unmadicated

245
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 1: manic phase for now.

246
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, it might on the men.

247
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, so the No Kings rallies continue to be a gift, uh,

248
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 1: in that a lot of the people that were at

249
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 1: the No King's rallies, it's interesting that don't really follow

250
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 1: the news that much. So you're motivated enough to get

251
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 1: out on the streets and protests, but you don't follow

252
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 1: what's going on in the news that much because and

253
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 1: you wouldn't have to follow the news a lot to

254
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 1: be familiar with the whole Strait of Hormuz Straits of

255
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 1: Hormuze situation. I mean, it's gas prices. Every gas price

256
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 1: story includes the term Straits of Hormuz. But uh, Anyway,

257
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 1: this person being interviewed by a comedian on the street

258
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 1: at the No King's rally apparently hadn't heard of it.

259
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 8: Isn't it a little bit homophobics that was so focused

260
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 8: on the straits of Homus and not the gaze of Homos?

261
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 9: I agree, yes for sure.

262
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 8: Why do you think something to leave the gaze of

263
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 8: Homus behind?

264
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 9: I think it's just history. Historically, like you know, gays

265
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 9: have always been very discriminated against, which is wrong on

266
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 9: so many levels.

267
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 1: Even in war.

268
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 9: Yeah, even in war. It just takes more reform in

269
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 9: government obviously, and then also educating society.

270
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 8: I just feel like, if we're gonna go and say

271
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 8: we can't leave to gay people behind, I don't think

272
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 8: we should go and say at all. But if we're

273
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 8: going to the moods, we could turn it into faire

274
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 8: Island for sure.

275
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 1: So she speaks with the confidence of the youth that

276
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 1: thinks they know much, quoting her professors in three or

277
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 1: four different ways.

278
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 2: I recognized all of that.

279
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you just having come across the whole streets

280
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 1: of Hormuz and seen a map and oh a straight

281
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 1: like a little area of water between two Maryland passage.

282
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, exactly.

283
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 3: It was interesting, though you're interested enough in the news

284
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 3: to be out of the protest. Yeah, But just reciting her,

285
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 3: you know, postmodernists and neo Marx's talking points, historical discrimination

286
00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 3: blah blah blah, colonialism blah blah blah.

287
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 2: That's a good one. The gaze of horror move.

288
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 3: Wow, And that Fire Island joke, if you're not familiar,

289
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 3: that's the famous island off New York that for many,

290
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 3: many many years was known with a nod and a

291
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 3: wink is where the.

292
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 2: Gay people went to get it on.

293
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 1: I wonder how many people he had to ask that

294
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 1: question before he came across somebody who bit on that.

295
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 1: Do you remember the Dugger family and they're like twenty

296
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 1: seven kids? Yeah, got an update on that horror show. Yeah,

297
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 1: oh boy, that went sideways. Anyway, we got lots of

298
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 1: stuff to talk about. We're gonna have We have a

299
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 1: great guest coming up a little bit later to talk

300
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 1: about the Supreme Court oral arguments from yesterday on the

301
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 1: Constitution and whether or not birthright citizenship should continue and

302
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 1: this and that. Based on most of the analysis I've heard,

303
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 1: they seem to think the justices are going to say no,

304
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 1: Donald Trump, you can't get around this. If anybody born

305
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 1: on our land as a citizen, it would be a

306
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:05,439
Speaker 1: big stretch. And as a strong advocate for the administration's position,

307
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:07,639
Speaker 1: I got to admit some of the logistical challenges that

308
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,239
Speaker 1: were pointed out are significant. Okay, I want to hear

309
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,159
Speaker 1: about that, among other things on the way. If you

310
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 1: missed a segment, get the podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand.

311
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:17,119
Speaker 10: Armstrong and Getty.

312
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 7: The Vietnam War lested for nineteen years, five months and

313
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 7: twenty nine days. Iraq went on for eight years, eight

Speaker 7: months and twenty eight days. We are in this military operation,

315
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 7: so powerful, so brilliant, against one of the most powerful

316
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 7: countries for thirty two days, and the country has been

317
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 7: eviscerated and essentially is really no longer a threat.

318
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:50,439
Speaker 1: Yeah. I heard somebody make the point yesterday that Iran

319
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 1: is a top twenty military in the world. They're nowhere

320
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:59,640
Speaker 1: near the United States, but they're not nothing. And we've been.

321
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:03,440
Speaker 3: At the NCAA tournament. You rarely see a twelve five

322
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:06,159
Speaker 3: upset though in the military rankings.

323
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 1: Right, But the idea that it should be over in

324
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,719
Speaker 1: I don't know what mainstream media thought or the public.

325
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:15,679
Speaker 1: Maybe I don't know what the public, how long the

326
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 1: public thought the war should last. If you go to

327
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 1: war with Iran courses a number of people have wointed out,

328
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 1: maybe you should have given the speech selling the war

329
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 1: like day.

330
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,640
Speaker 2: One absolutely legit point of view.

331
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:33,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so too. Maybe I'll do this later.

332
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:40,639
Speaker 1: But for instance, I wasn't aware until yesterday how close

333
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:46,119
Speaker 1: the whole Venezuela thing came to going completely sideways and

334
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 1: being a disaster. I mean, it came really really close

335
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:55,440
Speaker 1: to being a entirely failed effort. And if that had

336
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 1: happened in one way, just a nickel version, well I

337
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:04,200
Speaker 1: could through it here. Why it's pretty damned interesting. And

338
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 1: and the point of that being if it had. First

339
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 1: of all, all military operations, even you know, even when

340
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 1: you got the upper hand by far, can go south

341
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:19,200
Speaker 1: because they're very, very complicated, and there's lots of moving parts.

342
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:22,680
Speaker 1: And secondly, if it had not worked out, I think

343
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 1: pretty damned obviously, we wouldn't have been going into Iran.

344
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 1: There would have been no public mood for going into Iran. Sure, see,

345
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 1: if I can find this, there ain't much one now.

346
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 1: So and this is the the Army chief officer that

347
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 1: got the Presidential Medal of Freedom at the State of

348
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 1: the Union address, and Trump gave an abbreviated story about

349
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 1: what he did. But he was the lead Chinook helicopter

350
00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 1: pilot going in. If the Special Forces troops that were

351
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 1: going to run in and secure the ground and set

352
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 1: up the whole thing, they started firing on us, fired

353
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:12,160
Speaker 1: on that helicopter, he took four bullets in the leg.

354
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 1: Oh and continued to fly his helicopter on the mission

355
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:20,679
Speaker 1: landed it, got the guys off so they could secure

356
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 1: the ground so the next helicopters could come in and

357
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:27,160
Speaker 1: complete the mission. Then he went up and flew over

358
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:31,119
Speaker 1: and his gunman took out the dudes that were shooting

359
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 1: at him that almost killed him. He then said to

360
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 1: his co pilot, you need to take over. I'm about

361
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:40,400
Speaker 1: to pass out, and they got the helicopter out of there.

362
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:42,679
Speaker 1: If one of those bullets had hit him in the

363
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,399
Speaker 1: stomach or the head or the chest, he goes down.

364
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:49,119
Speaker 1: Mission's over. Mission is over. I read some analysis of

365
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 1: it by a variety of experts that it almost certainly

366
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 1: would have failed spectacularly if one of those bullets bullets

367
00:20:58,040 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 1: had killed him, or if he wasn't able to continue

368
00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 1: to fly with four bullets in his legs and everything

369
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:06,199
Speaker 1: else like that. And it's just a point that the

370
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:09,640
Speaker 1: success or failure these military missions hangs on so many

371
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:14,160
Speaker 1: tiny little things going right. Yeah, and at some point

372
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:16,639
Speaker 1: we're going to have that in Iran. Maybe we already have.

373
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:20,200
Speaker 3: Honestly, four bullets all missing, the big arteries in the

374
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 3: leg is a bit of a miracle. I find myself

375
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 3: surprised that the loss of one helicopter could have doomed

376
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 3: the mission like that, But it was a fairly small

377
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 3: hit and run mission, so I get it, I guess right.

378
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, you know, I could read the whole thing

379
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:38,439
Speaker 1: if you want to. But the military people explaining on

380
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:41,639
Speaker 1: how that helicopter getting in there, landing, the guys getting

381
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:43,680
Speaker 1: off to secure this so the next helicopters could land,

382
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. It just it all hinged on him

383
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:48,639
Speaker 1: getting through there and landing. They also didn't know, they

384
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:50,199
Speaker 1: didn't think there was any chance he was gonna get

385
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:55,359
Speaker 1: shot at again. The point being that things could go

386
00:21:55,440 --> 00:22:00,200
Speaker 1: sideways so fast, and as we get further in to

387
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 1: trying to secure various islands or chunks of land, or

388
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:08,880
Speaker 1: or or landing an expeditionary force to get the uranium

389
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 1: back or anything like that, we got a long way

390
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 1: to go on this war. And if we're already at

391
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 1: the why isn't this over already?

392
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 2: Period?

393
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 1: I don't know if you can sell a war in

394
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:22,600
Speaker 1: the TikTok world lasting very long.

395
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 3: You know, this is a bit of a tangent. I

396
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 3: think Trump may be a little complicit in that, having

397
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 3: sold the general euro escapade is a perfect flawless, easy

398
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 3: and easy out.

399
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:32,920
Speaker 2: Don't do that.

400
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 3: Tell the people all right, look, because you know the

401
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 3: phrase going sideways when you're talking about war.

402
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 2: It's it will. It's just a question of how much

403
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:42,680
Speaker 2: and in what way?

404
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,679
Speaker 1: Have you seen the thing that leaked out yesterday as

405
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 1: Trump speaking to a private group.

406
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 2: I don't think so.

407
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 1: Yeah. I hadn't heard about it until last night and

408
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 1: I started watching it. It's about an hour long. I

409
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 1: got about a halfway through it. It's pretty darned interesting.

410
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,879
Speaker 1: So he's it's not like private private, like he's at

411
00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:02,159
Speaker 1: a dinner with four other people. He's in a like

412
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 1: a ballroom little room there at the White House with

413
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 1: what looks like I don't know, sixty people, and he's

414
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:10,959
Speaker 1: standing at a podium talking to him. But it's a

415
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 1: private thing of all friends. Vance is there and Bondi

416
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 1: and then staffers, and then Erica Kirk is there, and

417
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 1: just it's all friendly. It's supposed to be behind closed

418
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 1: doors private. They recorded it because they record everything, I guessed,

419
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 1: and somehow posted it to the public site very briefly.

420
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:36,959
Speaker 1: Some journalists grabbed it, downloaded it, and then it disappeared.

421
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:40,440
Speaker 1: From the public site, so it wasn't meant for public guys. Wow,

422
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,919
Speaker 1: and it's really interesting to hear Trump talk in a

423
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 1: completely different voice. Just his manner is so different. Halprin

424
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 1: posted it on his newsletter today and he said it's

425
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:56,199
Speaker 1: both interesting how different he sounds when he's speaking to

426
00:23:56,280 --> 00:24:00,199
Speaker 1: friends privately, and how the same he sounds. I mean,

427
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,720
Speaker 1: both are true. His information was the same, the way

428
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:05,879
Speaker 1: he talks was a lot lot different. But anyway, at

429
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:08,399
Speaker 1: one point, the reason I brought this up was he said,

430
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 1: we really should take the oil. I mean, he said

431
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 1: that was my big complaint with Bush is that we

432
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:15,199
Speaker 1: went to Iraq and we didn't take the oil. Why

433
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 1: don't we take the oil? He said. I think we'd

434
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 1: take the oil and a und but I'm not sure

435
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 1: the country's got the stomach for the timetable. He said.

436
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:23,199
Speaker 1: I just don't think people are going to put up

437
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:25,639
Speaker 1: with the stock market hit and everything long enough for

438
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:27,359
Speaker 1: us to take the oil. So I guess we'll see.

439
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 1: I thought that was pretty interesting. He's aware that public

440
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:33,119
Speaker 1: opinion is not on the side of this, and that

441
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 1: the timetable is really short.

442
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:41,120
Speaker 2: Michael, let's hear fifty four from the speech last night.

443
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 7: Our armed forces have been extraordinary. Has never been anything

444
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 7: like it militarily. Everyone is talking about it. And tonight

445
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 7: I'm pleased to say that these core strategic objectives are

446
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:55,920
Speaker 7: nearing completion.

447
00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:01,119
Speaker 2: And then he continues the thought, and we are.

448
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 7: Going to finish the job, and we're going to finish

449
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 7: it very fast. We're getting very close. I want to

450
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 7: thank our allies in the Middle East, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Guitar,

451
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:14,120
Speaker 7: the UAE, Kuwait and Bahrain.

452
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:18,360
Speaker 2: They've been great and we will not let them.

453
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 7: Get hurt or fail in any way, shape or form.

454
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:24,880
Speaker 1: So what did Iran think of the speech? Well, here

455
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:25,159
Speaker 1: you go.

456
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 10: Meanwhile, Iran is responding to the President's speech last night

457
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:34,640
Speaker 10: by really doubling down, firing several missiles at Israel overnight,

458
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 10: ballistic missiles. So far, most have been intercepted. However, we

459
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:43,640
Speaker 10: do know that some injuries have been reported. Iranian officials

460
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 10: are also rejecting any ceasefire and vowing further retaliation after

461
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:51,960
Speaker 10: President Trump warned the US will hit the country and

462
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:56,159
Speaker 10: I quote extremely hard over the next two to three weeks.

463
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 1: You're going to bomb them back to the Stone Age.

464
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:01,680
Speaker 1: But you got to open the straight of horror moves

465
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 1: which came up in the news yesterday.

466
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 11: The UK Prime Minister is leading a virtual summit today

467
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 11: of thirty five countries to try to build some kind

468
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 11: of consensus on military or diplomatic efforts to reopen the Strait.

469
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 11: Obviously responds to that strong pressure from President Trump. But

470
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:20,479
Speaker 11: you heard Secretary Rubio say on Hannity the other night

471
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:22,679
Speaker 11: that you know, if these countries are not going to

472
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:26,159
Speaker 11: allow the US to use those bases when it needs to,

473
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 11: then NATO is a one way street, and the troops

474
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:32,280
Speaker 11: are only in Europe for the defense of Europe, not

475
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 11: for American interest. That's the message here from the White House.

476
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 1: Nah, we have had troops in Europe for a very

477
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 1: very long time, specifically to defend your countries from being invaded.

478
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 1: It wouldn't for all benefit.

479
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:46,639
Speaker 6: Yeah.

480
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 1: I also a reference.

481
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:52,200
Speaker 3: To the humiliation that the Brits are experiencing right now

482
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:55,120
Speaker 3: because they can't get their aircraft carrier, either one of them,

483
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:58,959
Speaker 3: up and running. They they're in such terrible shape. They

484
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 3: spend sixty percent of their time in dry dock getting

485
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:04,440
Speaker 3: fixed or in wet doc being fixed. But they don't

486
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 3: have parts. They don't have the expertise to fix it.

487
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 3: Their navy has been reduced, according to British media accounts,

488
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 3: to utterly unable to project force in any significant way.

489
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:18,400
Speaker 2: That's a quote, just sad.

490
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 1: I thought this was darn interesting because you know the

491
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:23,960
Speaker 1: conversation of is there negotiation going on?

492
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 3: Oh wait, wait before we move on for that, because

493
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 3: that's very important. Can't resist this speaking of NATO and

494
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:30,920
Speaker 3: our allies.

495
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:31,959
Speaker 2: Eighteen Michael.

496
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 7: Then I call up France Macron, whose wife frets him

497
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 7: extremely badly and still recovering from the right to the job,

498
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:52,400
Speaker 7: and I say, Emmanuel, we'd love to have some help

499
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 7: in the golf. Even though we're setting records and knocking

500
00:27:55,840 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 7: out bad people and knocking out ballistic missiles. Have to

501
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 7: have some help if you could, Could you police send

502
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 7: ships immediately?

503
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 2: No, no, no, I cannot do that.

504
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:06,879
Speaker 12: Do we can?

505
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:11,679
Speaker 7: We can do that after the wars won? I said, no, no,

506
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:14,159
Speaker 7: I don't need after the war's one, Emanuel. Many of

507
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:16,880
Speaker 7: them said, we'll be there after the war's completed.

508
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:19,719
Speaker 1: That's from that thing I was talking about, that private,

509
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 1: leaked out luncheon thing that he had. He made a

510
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:25,880
Speaker 1: joke about Macrone's old lady beating him.

511
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 2: Up, still recovering from that right to the jaw, and.

512
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 1: Then he says he sees Erica Kirk sitting there and

513
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:33,359
Speaker 1: he said, oh, hey, Eric, I didn't know you're here.

514
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 1: He said, I'll tell you what. What they're saying about

515
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 1: you is awful. I'd sue their asses off. I fire you,

516
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 1: sue their asses off.

517
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 2: That's what Trump told her. I've got some examples of

518
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 2: that for later.

519
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:47,160
Speaker 1: But back to your uh uh So, a lot of

520
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 1: mainstream media claiming that Trump's lying about this whole negotiating thing,

521
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 1: that there's not actually any negotiations going on, and who's

522
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 1: with all that, and I don't know who it's with.

523
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:56,240
Speaker 1: But this came out yesterday.

524
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 12: It was just a few hours before the address. Iron's

525
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 12: president a letter to the American people saying that Iran

526
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:05,640
Speaker 12: is not a threat. In fact, he called the United

527
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 12: States the aggressor, and he says continuing along the path

528
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 12: of confrontation is more costly and futile than ever before

529
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 12: President Trump. Earlier, he claims that the Iranian president wants

530
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 12: a ceasefire, but a spokesperson for Iran's president says their

531
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 12: country is determined.

532
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 1: He penned a letter. Did he saying that they're not

533
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 1: a threat to the United States? Can I pen a

534
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 1: letter back to him? I don't know his address. Dearest

535
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 1: President of Iran, you have been chanting death to America

536
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 1: from your podium my entire life, signed me.

537
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:39,160
Speaker 2: What do you mean actually killing Americans any chance you get?

538
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 4: So?

539
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 2: Shut up?

540
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 1: Well. I heard one of my favorite pundits talking about

541
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:48,480
Speaker 1: running into some military guys in the bar, and he

542
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 1: was interested that all of the former Iraq Afghanistan veterans

543
00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 1: of those wars were gung ho about this because they

544
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:04,760
Speaker 1: all had had friends hurt or killed by Iranians all

545
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 1: a right, so they were a.

546
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 2: Gung ho about this. Yeah, that is interesting.

547
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 1: All those roadside bombs and you know, all the lost

548
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 1: limbs and lost life and everything like that, those were

549
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 1: bombs either developed by or completely made by and helped

550
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 1: by Iran all those years.

551
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 2: Yeah.

552
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I wish there were any sort of honest discussion

553
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 3: about this going on in the way that people would

554
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 3: actually hear and think about, because you know, to say

555
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 3: this is going to happen is ridiculously premature. But if

556
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 3: this is successful, even like substantially successful, it could usher

557
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 3: in an era of peace and stability in the Middle

558
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 3: East for decades to come, decades to come in a

559
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 3: way that we've never seen before. All the stars are

560
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 3: aligned for that, and the last thing that needs to

561
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 3: be accomplished is to neuter Iran and make them cut

562
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 3: it out for what it's worth. In discussing the President

563
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 3: of Iran's letter and everything. The book may never be written,

564
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 3: but man, I would like to know what the internal

565
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:17,720
Speaker 3: power struggles are like right now, as I would guess,

566
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,960
Speaker 3: everybody is trying to come off as the hardest hard

567
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 3: ass that's ever hard assed. Meanwhile, but I still think

568
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 3: maybe we should talk to the Americans, but not a

569
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:30,440
Speaker 3: hard ass. I'm a serious hard ass. But we're getting killed,

570
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:33,960
Speaker 3: so I mean, that's got to be who vexing. I

571
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 3: don't envy them, Yeah, probably mind the bombs falling on

572
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 3: their heads. I don't envy that either.

573
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:40,480
Speaker 2: That was.

574
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 1: That was our checking on Iran, and that was all

575
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:49,240
Speaker 1: good stuff. Got something about the space flight that is silly?

576
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:50,960
Speaker 1: Before are you coming up?

577
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:51,360
Speaker 2: Oh?

578
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:54,720
Speaker 3: Okay, captain silly over here, Joe serious would like the

579
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 3: floor for a moment. We're in a serious space race

580
00:31:57,560 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 3: with China's It's a big deal.

581
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:01,080

Speaker 2: Mmm. First of all, he calls his mom bro.

592
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:42,480
Speaker 1: I think I do most of those, and that's not

593
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:45,520
Speaker 1: a so my son that we've talked about this before,

594
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 1: the young people dropping their teas. I don't know if

595
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:50,440
Speaker 1: that was a good example of it or not. The

596
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 1: way like I hear my son and some of his

597
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:57,480
Speaker 1: friends fountain Fountain. Yeah, he kind of lightly tapped.

598
00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:58,040
Speaker 2: Some of those teas.

599
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 1: Not a good I say Fountain. I don't really get

600
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:02,920
Speaker 1: the tea Fountain. I definitely say fountain.

601
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 2: I pronounced every letter, as you know. I don't believe

602
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:05,640
Speaker 2: in silent letters.

603
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I say all those words. I don't say, uh, yeah,

604
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 1: that's weird. It's just an affectation that just caught on

605
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:21,520
Speaker 1: for some reason among the young. Yeah. So I got

606
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:25,720
Speaker 1: distracted by the term sissy sub when I was reading

607
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 1: about Lydia Love. Turns out that's not her real name,

608
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 1: that's a stage name. The woman who had been talking

609
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 1: with Christy Nome's husband on the phone apparently twenty five

610
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:40,160
Speaker 1: a minute, twenty five bucks a minute, she called him

611
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:43,200
Speaker 1: a She remembered him because she said she'd never seen

612
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 1: a sissy sub that had bigger knockers than him.

613
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 2: Wow. Wow. So a little tip of the cap from

614
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:50,880
Speaker 2: one pro to another.

615
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:53,840
Speaker 1: And no, whatever turns you on, whatever turns John behind

616
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 1: closed door is that, I'm not criticizing that or whatever.

617
00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:04,400
Speaker 1: The cartoonishly large knocker are definitely outside of anything kind

618
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:08,919
Speaker 1: of normal mainstream certainly, but especially on a fella. Yeah,

619
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:12,440
Speaker 1: it's pretty interesting. This woman who recognized him when the

620
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:15,120
Speaker 1: pictures broke this week, Christy Noom's husband. If you don't

621
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:17,359
Speaker 1: know the story, I think you probably do, said when

622
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:18,759
Speaker 1: she would talk to him on the phone, he would

623
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 1: try to talk more feminine. His kink was yoga pants.

624
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:23,560
Speaker 1: He wanted to be the star of the show and

625
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:26,440
Speaker 1: really show off. I would hype him up. She described
