Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe, Katty Armstrong and Jettie
Speaker 1: and he arms Ranged. Oh boy, it's Friday.
Speaker 2: How excited it gets that Friday live from studio? See
Speaker 2: see you signor dimly lit room deep within the bowels
Speaker 2: of the Armstrong and Getty Communications Compound. And hey y'all,
Speaker 2: today we are under the tutelage of power general manager.
Speaker 1: God, they don't have a strong candidate. I got one, okay,
Speaker 1: great one? Alcatraz Alligators. Well, what now? Alcatraz Alligators? Is
Speaker 1: that like a soccer team?
Speaker 2: It sounds like one of those second tier.
Speaker 1: Soccer league teams.
Speaker 2: Does sound like a single a baseball team, doesn't It
Speaker 2: in the middle of Oklahoma?
Speaker 1: And you get their gear because it's really cool.
Speaker 2: There's a plan in Florida to somehow have alligators introduced
Speaker 2: into prison, into the prison situation, to try to help
Speaker 2: with keeping people from escaping.
Speaker 1: It's innovative. I say we give it a try.
Speaker 2: Take it outside the box. Right, there're no bad ideas?
Speaker 2: What else anybody else have an idea? Mots filled with
Speaker 2: hungry gators? Yeah, so that's a good any of that.
Speaker 2: In New Orleans, we're staying in jail's, you know, voluntary.
Speaker 2: So they we haven't mentioned that storing up forever because
Speaker 2: they're bigger stories, but they they at a total of it,
Speaker 2: think thirty two people arrested that were involved in helping
Speaker 2: those dudes escape.
Speaker 1: In New Orleans.
Speaker 2: Thirty two people that were willing to help people escape
Speaker 2: at that prison.
Speaker 1: What is your hiring process? Thirty two?
Speaker 2: I think a lot of those people were outside people
Speaker 2: eighty in a betting, not inside the prison, but there
Speaker 2: were a handful inside Waite A few yes, yeah, what
Speaker 2: is your hiring process? One should be too many? Having
Speaker 2: a half a dozen or a dozen seems like a lot.
Speaker 2: There are parts of the country that absolutely answer to
Speaker 2: their own stereotypes, do you know what I mean? A
Speaker 2: little fast in lisis a little good old boy, a
Speaker 2: little mobbed up, a little Yeah.
Speaker 1: Here's the most interesting thing I've heard today.
Speaker 2: You go poll that just came out with a very
Speaker 2: clear question, should the United States get involved in helping
Speaker 2: Israel attack Iran?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 2: Is sixteen percent, one six whil not a lot makes
Speaker 2: me wonder if I'm way off base.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not going to change my opinion based
Speaker 1: on the pole.
Speaker 2: But if I'm way off base and how many people
Speaker 2: are listening and thinking you're right, Jack, as opposed to
Speaker 2: everybody practically.
Speaker 1: Saying what the hell are you talking about? I don't know.
Speaker 2: The obvious follow up to that is, if you were
Speaker 2: to reword the question, are you would you support the
Speaker 2: US getting involved? As you just said, if it's limited
Speaker 2: to a very small number of critical air strikes. I
Speaker 2: think a better quow would that number? I think the
Speaker 2: best question, because I keep bringing you back to this,
Speaker 2: do you think it's okay to let Iran get a
Speaker 2: nuclear weapon?
Speaker 1: Because if it's no, then okay, how you gonna stop it?
Speaker 1: You gotta do some unpleasant things, right, I assume most
Speaker 1: people would say no. Maybe I'm wrong on that. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I come across a fair number of folks who ask,
Speaker 2: and it's a perfectly reasonable question, Well, if Pakistan has
Speaker 2: a nuke in North Korea has a nuke, I mean,
Speaker 2: why is everybody getting so up in arms about Iran?
Speaker 2: I think it's horrible that Pakistan and North Korea have
Speaker 2: a nuke. I would agree, and there are significant differences.
Speaker 2: That doesn't mean it's a bad question, but it's a
Speaker 2: question in a lot of people's minds. You married a
Speaker 2: crazy person before it got divorced. What's the problem with
Speaker 2: marying another.
Speaker 1: Crazy person getting divorced.
Speaker 2: It seems like to me, I mean, you don't want
Speaker 2: another bad outcome. Right, You're in business now with two
Speaker 2: thieving murderers. Let's add another thieving murderer.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Perhaps, even the way that question was worried, I thought
Speaker 2: sixteen percent, that's not very many people. Although, yeah, it's
Speaker 2: it's prejudicial in its vagueness, because it it almost implies
Speaker 2: in its vagueness that it is an unlimited a door
Speaker 2: has opened to an unlimited level of involvement.
Speaker 1: Well, people are going with their past experience of Iraq
Speaker 1: and Afghanistan that Afghanistan was twenty years, Iraq was nine years,
Speaker 1: nothing to show for it. Some people would argue.
Speaker 2: That, I know, if Dictane you or he did, the
Speaker 2: world is better with Sadam Mussein gone, he would say,
Speaker 2: which is probably true, but I'm not sure it's significantly
Speaker 2: different than what we got now in terms of help
Speaker 2: in the United States. Certainly, Afghanistan was like, what do
Speaker 2: we get for twenty years of that? So if that
Speaker 2: the hangover that people have gotten that's where it's coming from,
Speaker 2: I think right, But again to not make it clear
Speaker 2: that the idea, and like the unanimous idea, is very
Speaker 2: limited involvement. No nation building, no boots on the ground,
Speaker 2: no mass invasion, No we take over their infrastrution, nothing like,
Speaker 2: none of it. Again, I'm pro attacking Iran and stopping
Speaker 2: them from getting of the bomb. But my pushback on
Speaker 2: that would be they said no nation building. At the
Speaker 2: beginning of Iraq they said no, you know, so mission creep,
Speaker 2: you know, look it up right, and or.
Speaker 1: Just overtly being misled.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's interesting to hangovers from previous wars or how
Speaker 2: reticent we all are to get things. I'm continuing to
Speaker 2: take in a lot of information about World War Two.
Speaker 2: Great podcast with Lex Friedman the other day with Tom Holland,
Speaker 2: fantastic historian who's got an amazing podcast. If you're a
Speaker 2: World War two geek, you got to listen to his podcast.
Speaker 2: I mean it is a deep, deep dive and just
Speaker 2: put together so well. He walks the battlefields and talks
Speaker 2: about But anyway, there are no other podcasts. Is inaccurate?
Speaker 2: The do you watch TV shows where they promote other
Speaker 2: TV shows. No, that would be insane. Only the maniac
Speaker 2: would do that on his own show. Stop it late
Speaker 2: in nineteen thirty eight. I don't know how good you
Speaker 2: are in your World War two history, but a late
Speaker 2: nineteen thirty eight Hitler had already started invading various places
Speaker 2: he wasn't supposed to invade.
Speaker 1: It was still a year before he goes.
Speaker 2: He goes into Poland, I guess, but he was already
Speaker 2: starting to He was already eating up chunks of land,
Speaker 2: very similar to what Russia. Russia has been doing around
Speaker 2: Ukraine for years with no pushback from the world.
Speaker 1: And polling in.
Speaker 2: Great Britain was ninety two percent of people were against
Speaker 2: getting militarily involved in stopping Hitler.
Speaker 1: Ninety two percent.
Speaker 2: Right, you wonder why you were going, Well, he was
Speaker 2: going with appeasement. Ninety two percent of his country didn't
Speaker 2: want to do anything because of the hangover of World
Speaker 2: War One of we're not getting involved in that ever again,
Speaker 2: sure Iraq Afghanistan hangover. And it's also universally recognized that
Speaker 2: if the Allies had moved on Hitler in thirty eight,
Speaker 2: when he made it infinitely clear what he was up to,
Speaker 2: he was so weak and is a military was so
Speaker 2: weak they could have they could have ended it right
Speaker 2: then and there, But so go the tides of history. Well,
Speaker 2: he fooled people to a great extent. Here's a World
Speaker 2: War II story, and then I will stop. Then, oh no,
Speaker 2: this is great. Then I'll move on to the Roman Empire.
Speaker 2: I don't think I'd ever heard this story before, or
Speaker 2: I have the advantage of being old, so stories are
Speaker 2: new to me every.
Speaker 1: Time I hear them, because I forget them, like I'm
Speaker 1: Joe Biden.
Speaker 2: Hitler was showing off the Luftwaffa, his air force, his
Speaker 2: new planes to some French people, so to try to
Speaker 2: show the French how strong they were. This is when
Speaker 2: everybody was still friendly enough, right, and he only had
Speaker 2: a handful of planes, so they would go to an airstrip.
Speaker 2: He would show the representative from France they're fancy new
Speaker 2: planes and the airstrip and everything like that, and these
Speaker 2: are the best planes that ever been made in the world,
Speaker 2: which was true at the time and very scary for
Speaker 2: the rest of the world. And he said, well, we'll
Speaker 2: drive over to the outher the airfield I see show
Speaker 2: you some more of them, and then get in the
Speaker 2: car and they'd drive on the way to the airfield.
Speaker 2: Those planes would get up, flyer on, come in land
Speaker 2: on that other airfield. They would go to that airfield,
Speaker 2: say here's our fancy planes. We have thousands of them.
Speaker 2: Put on a fake mustache, just the same And it
Speaker 2: was just the same planes over and over again. Which
Speaker 2: is a good Which is a good trick. Yeah, it's
Speaker 2: like the Marx brothers running and it worked anyway. I
Speaker 2: don't know, sixteen percent of low number, No matter how
Speaker 2: you word it, youd think you'd get up a little
Speaker 2: higher than that. Yeah, so Trump might be seeing those polls.
Speaker 2: Maybe that's why he's he's slowing down and hesitating and
Speaker 2: how that's landing in Israel.
Speaker 1: Have no idea.
Speaker 2: Well, the poll numbers about some of the immigration enforcement
Speaker 2: aren't too onspiring either. There is not a will among
Speaker 2: the American people for widespread roundups of non lawbreakers.
Speaker 1: Then change the law.
Speaker 2: Immigrants then pushed to exactly put it, No, you're a hundred.
Speaker 2: The Armstrong doctrine will be recognized by historians as the
Speaker 2: correct path. It will also be recognized as the path
Speaker 2: we did not take.
Speaker 1: Right. We should start the show.
Speaker 2: Officially, and we do need to get to alligator Alcatraz
Speaker 2: because that is a fantastic idea. Whoever raised their hand
Speaker 2: at the meeting and said, Mary, I don't we put
Speaker 2: alligators in the prisons. That guy needs to start his
Speaker 2: own parking spot, because that is a really good idea.
Speaker 1: I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe Getty on this.
Speaker 2: It is Friday, June twentieth, the year twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2: We are armstrong in getting Tomorrow's the longest day of
Speaker 2: the year, and they start getting shorter again. That's a
Speaker 2: that's a half glasses half empty attitude, isn't it. We're
Speaker 2: armstrong in getting we approve of this program. Let's begin
Speaker 2: then officially according to FCC rules and regulations, leaping into
Speaker 2: action at mark, I have.
Speaker 3: A message directly from the President, and I quote, based
Speaker 3: on the fact that there's a substantial chance of negotiations
Speaker 3: that may or may not take place with Iran in
Speaker 3: the near future, I will make my decision whether or
Speaker 3: not to go within the next two weeks.
Speaker 1: Two weeks I.
Speaker 2: Think a lot of us were thinking we were hours
Speaker 2: away from the bunker Busters falling from the sky and
Speaker 2: getting getting exciting, and two weeks is pretty shocking. I
Speaker 2: wonder how shocking it was to beb net and Yahoo
Speaker 2: who is presiding over a country that is running out
Speaker 2: of missile defense as Iran continues to shoot at them
Speaker 2: and got another one through last.
Speaker 1: Night and blew up a building. So two weeks might
Speaker 1: seem like a long time to him.
Speaker 2: Super duper extra shocking. That's how shocking it is that. Yeah,
Speaker 2: they are spending a horrific amount of money every single
Speaker 2: day too, So yeah, I'm sure he's not pleased with that.
Speaker 2: Could be a faint by Trump, who knows, by the
Speaker 2: way misinformation and disinformation from Jack Armstrong. Today is the
Speaker 2: longest day of the year. It's National Pessimism Day. Today,
Speaker 2: it's the darkest day.
Speaker 1: Yeah whatever, Yeah whatever. I had another point about the
Speaker 1: putten off for two weeks.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, obviously, saying two weeks from now if you're
Speaker 2: planning to attack today is.
Speaker 1: A great idea.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, right, I mean that's a really good idea. Say, okay,
Speaker 2: unwad your beard. We got a little time here. Well
Speaker 2: was it a week ago? He's like, hey, yeah, see
Speaker 2: you Tuesday for them those talks really looking forward to that,
Speaker 2: will meet you. Then you have.
Speaker 1: Tuesday for the talks. That'll be great. And then Israel
Speaker 1: brought the thunder. Yeah, with Trump's knowledge and thumbs up.
Speaker 1: I got more on that. We'll get to that later.
Speaker 2: And we got Katie's headlines on the way clips of
Speaker 2: the week today. Oh my gosh, it's a fun Friday.
Speaker 1: Stay here.
Speaker 2: My son and I are going to the Dodgers game tonight.
Speaker 2: Seventy two degrees. First pitch, that sounds pretty nice. Perfect,
Speaker 2: Oh wow, spectacular. Three chilly dogs in me by then,
Speaker 2: maybe a milkshake. I'll be growing. Oh why did what
Speaker 2: you do that to yourself? Coming up next segment, I
Speaker 2: think we're gonna do this. It's a three way dumbest
Speaker 2: take of the week off three candidates for the single
Speaker 2: stupidest things said this week, and it's gonna be a
Speaker 2: tough choice.
Speaker 1: We'll need your help, stay with us.
Speaker 2: We got clips of the week also, so we got
Speaker 2: a lot to fit in. Oh goodness sakes, Yeah, I
Speaker 2: don't know. Well, we'll make it all work. Let's figure
Speaker 2: out who's reporting what. It's the lead story with Katie Green.
Speaker 4: Katie starting with NBC neighborhoods empty out as Israel and
Speaker 4: Iran exchange attacks.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so like all those people who left Tehran in
Speaker 2: that giant traffic jam that we all saw that looked
Speaker 2: like the Bay Area on a Friday at three o'clock,
Speaker 2: are they going to come back? I mean, you can't
Speaker 2: just stay away from home for two weeks, Kenyon, you
Speaker 2: know that's such a funny comparison. I mean in Iranian newspapers,
Speaker 2: do they have pictures of people, you know, who.
Speaker 1: Just stacked up?
Speaker 2: Americans flee Los Angeles as the threat grows.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just Friday traffic from Fox News.
Speaker 4: Trump scores major win against a Newsome in battle for
Speaker 4: National Guard control.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because he obviously, I mean, that's one of the
Speaker 2: things he obviously has the ability to do.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And the fact that a San Francisco hippie.
Speaker 2: District court U hippie judge, yeah, stepped in and just
Speaker 2: screwed this all up with his idiotic ruling that wasn't
Speaker 2: gonna last for five minutes.
Speaker 1: In front of the appeels court. Well, that's why we
Speaker 1: have appeals courts from the Washington Post.
Speaker 4: LA Dodgers block federal agents from setting up in stadium
Speaker 4: parking lot.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so there is some egging on going on.
Speaker 2: I hope this doesn't happen tonight at the Dodgers game,
Speaker 2: of trying to get a boycott going since forty percent
Speaker 2: of the Dodger fan bases Hispanic, and they're trying to
Speaker 2: get some sort of push of a boycott of the
Speaker 2: going to games to force pressure on something.
Speaker 1: So we'll see.
Speaker 2: Wow, the Dodgers are like, we're not a branch of
Speaker 2: the government. Yeah.
Speaker 1: ABC.
Speaker 4: Sherry Peppini claims ex boyfriend abducted her in twenty sixteen
Speaker 4: hoax kidnapping case.
Speaker 1: What okay, Well this is new.
Speaker 2: Yes, she's just no, no, she no, she doesn't get
Speaker 2: the first Amendment anymore. Well, did she realize just be quiet?
Speaker 2: Did she realize everything was over? They did the special
Speaker 2: and everything was over.
Speaker 1: She'd done her interview. Now nobody cares and she has
Speaker 1: to make up new stories. Now what a crack pot?
Speaker 4: From the New York Post, shocking audio reveals Cassie threatening
Speaker 4: to kill a man over a video of.
Speaker 1: A Diddy freak off. So are we into the tearing
Speaker 1: apart the witnesses stage of this track?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Okay, So if I was putting on its case or
Speaker 2: what there is this cross examination? I've totally lost track.
Speaker 2: So they're trying to claim to make it look like
Speaker 2: she's violent in the nutty too.
Speaker 1: Okay, isn't the defense.
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, study fines one and three Americans admit they
Speaker 4: wake up exhausted.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I wake up exhausted.
Speaker 2: I've woken up well rested maybe once in my life.
Speaker 2: But I'm just giving myself the.
Speaker 1: Benefit of the doubt. I don't actually remember it.
Speaker 2: Oh. I spring out of pad with a song in
Speaker 2: my heart and a twinkle in my eye.
Speaker 1: Oh.
Speaker 2: I get up in the morning, my eyes open. I
Speaker 2: take a day another one of these good lord.
Speaker 1: From the Wall Street Journal.
Speaker 4: Want a better relationship with your teen children, Yes, exercise
Speaker 4: with them.
Speaker 1: I do my thirteen year old, and I go to
Speaker 1: the gym every single day. That's cool. Yeah, it does help.
Speaker 2: But I've noticed he's been gone this week on his
Speaker 2: boy scout trip, and the walk into the gym by
Speaker 2: myself is pretty lonely.
Speaker 4: I I'm at thirty six.
Speaker 1: I still work out with my dad. Cool.
Speaker 4: And finally, the Babylon be technical foul WNBA players use
Speaker 4: Caitlin Clark's.
Speaker 1: Head as the ball. What Yeah, that league needs to
Speaker 1: decide how they want to handle their best player that
Speaker 1: gets them the most attention. The NBA changed the rules for.
Speaker 2: Michael Jordan because they thought, look what we got on
Speaker 2: our hands. They ought to do that in the WNBA. Well,
Speaker 2: I have it on good authority. She eggs players on
Speaker 2: and has it coming. Yeah great, great, go ahead, destroy
Speaker 2: your best player and see you go back to her relevancy.
Speaker 1: Enjoy that, Armstrong and Getty. Why do old people have
Speaker 1: a particular smell? Science knows? Was anybody asking that question?
Speaker 1: Old people smell don't come from Come on.
Speaker 2: Also, I must apologize. I said we would do the
Speaker 2: dumbest take of the week here. I had forgotten we
Speaker 2: have clips of the week. It was a hasty and
Speaker 2: ill advised promotional announcement, and I take full responsibility. We
Speaker 2: will kick off next hour with said featurette.
Speaker 1: And it's gonna be good. All three of the dumb
Speaker 1: dumb taps deserve conversation.
Speaker 2: Tough to pick a winner, that's right. But first, it
Speaker 2: is indeed time for the Friday tradition.
Speaker 1: Let's take a fun look back at the week. It was.
Speaker 1: It's cow Clips of the Week, City, Wheezy Feeline Way,
Speaker 1: I'm flying it. I just called it. I think a
Speaker 1: Sueezy Feline the works of the week. You're in Washington.
Speaker 2: It was a celebration officially to mark the Army's two
Speaker 2: hundred and fiftieth anniversary. Authority say, a suspected gunman impersonating
Speaker 2: a police officer targeted two Democratic lawmakers.
Speaker 4: The Supreme Court's conservative majority upholding Tennessee's ban on some
Speaker 4: gender affirming medical care.
Speaker 1: But lorn the Panthers part back to back, stayed like
Speaker 1: doc champions. Then I tried Popperman. Our prescription helps your
Speaker 1: body secrete a special pheromone that attracts puppies.
Speaker 2: And each town contains trace DNA from Ozzy's saliva as
Speaker 2: well as his hand.
Speaker 1: In signy chat, the IC continues to monitor closely if
Speaker 1: Tehran decides to reauthorize its nuclear weapons program. Paso yegoborsted.
Speaker 4: Pilots over the skies of Tehran will deal blows to
Speaker 4: the Iteota regime that they cannot even imagine.
Speaker 2: You're going to see some surprises that will make the
Speaker 2: beeper almost seem simple. He Israel identified a window to
Speaker 2: kill Ayatola Ali Hamoni. The president says, we know exactly
Speaker 2: where the so called supreme leader is hiding he is
Speaker 2: an easy target.
Speaker 3: Very simple words, a very simple unconditional surrender.
Speaker 2: Auran Supreme Leader has said unconditional surrender is effectively out
Speaker 2: of the question, and.
Speaker 4: It is a generational moment, and I think we've got
Speaker 4: to take advantage of it in the United States right now.
Speaker 1: You and I may do it. I may not do it.
Speaker 1: I mean, nobody knows what I'm gonna do.
Speaker 2: But it's also going to end, I believe Trump's presidency
Speaker 2: and effectively end it.
Speaker 1: Why are we so afraid of them? Why are the
Speaker 1: biggest threat of They're a weak country that's on his knees.
Speaker 2: Because they're trying trying to keep track, they're trying to develop.
Speaker 1: Be a little less snarky. I know you're right, that
Speaker 1: is a problem that I have. I'm sorry when you
Speaker 1: come to America, your guest and you have to behave
Speaker 1: like a guest and its handcuffed and march down a
Speaker 1: hallway repeatedly asking why am I being detained? Thank you
Speaker 1: for your attention to this matter.
Speaker 2: Oh my uh, that deserves a full play. The Senator
Speaker 2: Alex Padilla barely holding back the tails as he describes
Speaker 2: the nightmare of being wrestled to the ground just because
Speaker 2: he charged shouting at Christy Nome and then three secs
Speaker 2: later he is fine, but he's trying to make himself
Speaker 2: into a martyr. Hilarious Selby, we never made, sir. We
Speaker 2: didn't ever play the clip of Arnold Schwarzenegger on The View,
Speaker 2: saying it was on the clips of the week. There though,
Speaker 2: when you come to this country as an immigrant, you're
Speaker 2: a guest and you need to behave and everybody in
Speaker 2: the View looking at him wide eyed, Well, you're not
Speaker 2: supposed to say that.
Speaker 1: You're supposed to talk about how Trump's hitler?
Speaker 2: Who watches those hags who question? I want to know
Speaker 2: the numbers and I want to see the demographics that that.
Speaker 1: Needs to be a pejorative term somehow.
Speaker 2: Daytime TV watchers people who watch The View or Judge
Speaker 2: Judy or whatever your life is that you're.
Speaker 1: Watching network television during the day. It's always been a.
Speaker 2: Certain crowd, but especially now with all the other options
Speaker 2: out there, you're still watching what the three big channels
Speaker 2: have for you. Oh my god, you're a certain sort
Speaker 2: of person. Wow, well, your cruelty knows no bounds. You're
Speaker 2: probably an idiot. I feel sorry for those people. I
Speaker 2: feel no need tod like come up with new pejorative terms.
Speaker 2: I do put them in a chance sad certainly, don't
Speaker 2: let them vote, wow, deny them the vote. I do
Speaker 2: enjoy a good Judge show now and again. I used
Speaker 2: to get my haircut at a place there. That was
Speaker 2: all they had on during the afternoon when i'd go
Speaker 2: is Judge shows. And that's the only time I'm gonna
Speaker 2: sit still for a half hour washing key in that
Speaker 2: whole phrases now and again. Sure, I could find myself
Speaker 2: in a situation where I could kill some time watching
Speaker 2: a Judge show, perhaps, But who's tuning into these every day?
Speaker 2: How is your life? And then again, you're still watching
Speaker 2: network TV. That's your thing?
Speaker 1: All right? Okay, fine, Yeah.
Speaker 2: We mentioned the other day that May, this past May
Speaker 2: was the dawn of the age of streaming dominance. More
Speaker 2: Americans watched TV streamed, then cable and broadcast combined. My
Speaker 2: kids haven't got the slightest concept of like ABCNBCCBS not
Speaker 2: they They wouldn't know those letters. So you don't make
Speaker 2: them go and hold on to the aerial during the
Speaker 2: fourth quarter of the basketball game to make sure the
Speaker 2: reception is good.
Speaker 1: Oh, an old timey reference, folks, some of you got it.
Speaker 1: There's another clip in there. I want to do reference.
Speaker 2: Oh, just on the whole Trump delaying for two weeks,
Speaker 2: do you think there's any chance? Do you think he's
Speaker 2: just being deliberate or do you think he's getting cold
Speaker 2: feet thinking maybe he doesn't want to get involved in
Speaker 2: something that could spin out of control.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's tough to separate those two things.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I think it's a combination of those things. Honestly,
Speaker 2: two weeks is there's no need for that. I can't
Speaker 2: imagine what will happ been in the next two weeks
Speaker 2: that would further clarify the decision. Well, that seems like
Speaker 2: you're delaying it to me, unless he actually thinks the
Speaker 2: iotola might come correct. I have a possible explanation for
Speaker 2: that that I heard this morning. Okay, but first, this
Speaker 2: reporting I think from I remember who was from one
Speaker 2: of your news outlets, and.
Speaker 1: It's either true or not. Trump continues to make decisions.
Speaker 2: With only a small handful of officials within the White House.
Speaker 2: This is the group that he's got with him discussing
Speaker 2: this stuff. He'll notice some names missing, including one prominent
Speaker 2: the group that he's sitting with every day Vice President
Speaker 2: j D.
Speaker 1: Vance.
Speaker 2: I have no idea what Jade Vance's take is on this,
Speaker 2: do you I haven't heard him. I mean, he's probably
Speaker 2: you know, going along with his boss.
Speaker 1: But you think he had that statement he made on
Speaker 1: Twitter the other day was pretty much the President has
Speaker 1: earned our trust on this. We have to trust his judgment.
Speaker 1: Do you think if he was president we wouldn't be
Speaker 1: doing this? I don't know.
Speaker 2: Jamie is a slippery character. He's putting it and in
Speaker 2: a real maneuver. It reminds me a little of Josh Hawley.
Speaker 2: Trump is meeting with JD. Chief of Staff Susie Wiles,
Speaker 2: who he obviously really trusts Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller,
Speaker 2: who's probably just saying, as long as there are no
Speaker 2: illegal immigrants in Iran, that's all I care about. He's
Speaker 2: meeting with Marco Rubio, who's both the Secretary of State
Speaker 2: and the acting National Security Advisor, as we all know.
Speaker 1: And that's it.
Speaker 2: A couple of names not there, Tulsey Gabbard, you're d
Speaker 2: and I okay, that one is defendable, as we were
Speaker 2: talking about yesterday. But no Pete Hegseeth's Secretary of Defense.
Speaker 2: The second Deaf is not involved in the biggest military
Speaker 2: action of the last quarter century.
Speaker 1: What's adam Hm, I'm surprised to hear that. My guess
Speaker 1: would be.
Speaker 2: He feels like the people from the Pentagon are the
Speaker 2: when all you have is a hammer, everything looks like
Speaker 2: a nail crowd, and they're always pushing you to go
Speaker 2: to war.
Speaker 1: He might, But that's what I'll bet Trump thinks.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, And you could make the argument that it's
Speaker 2: because I would say this is the most pivotal military
Speaker 2: decision in the last twenty five years as opposed to biggest.
Speaker 2: And I'm not just quibbling, it's that it's if indeed
Speaker 2: we can limit it to a couple of bunker buster strikes,
Speaker 2: there's no need to get a lot more information on
Speaker 2: the logistics of it. He has that, well, it'd be
Speaker 2: still it's surprising the sec Deaf isn't it's going.
Speaker 1: To war with Iran. What's bigger than going to war
Speaker 1: with Iran the last fish century? I mean, that's by
Speaker 1: definition going to war with Iran?
Speaker 2: Right, sure, I don't know if you have any guess
Speaker 2: why the Secretary of Defense wouldn't be in the meetings,
Speaker 2: you know, let me go. But here's the pushback on
Speaker 2: your why would you wait two weeks? Because I wondered
Speaker 2: that too. I was watching General Wesley Clark on News
Speaker 2: Nation this morning. I don't know if you remember him.
Speaker 2: Is a half a crack pot when he tried to
Speaker 2: run for president as a Democrat many cycles ago. But
Speaker 2: he was the commander of the Allied forces during the
Speaker 2: whole Kosovo thing, so he knows something about what he's
Speaker 2: talking about with regime change and that sort of stuff.
Speaker 2: And he said it took weeks for us to punish
Speaker 2: Belosovich enough before he finally realized, I'm going to lose everything,
Speaker 2: including my life and my family if I don't come
Speaker 2: to the negotiating table.
Speaker 1: And Wesley Clark thinks that might be.
Speaker 2: What's going on here is that Iran is just Israel
Speaker 2: is going to continue to because they did overnight. They
Speaker 2: took out a whole bunch more stuff last night. They
Speaker 2: took out the factories that make the rockets, for instance,
Speaker 2: the Israel's going to continue to punish Iran, and that
Speaker 2: it might take weeks to get the mullus to realize, Okay,
Speaker 2: this is definitely not working. Yes, they have fewer and
Speaker 2: fewer options on the table. I could see that. But
Speaker 2: it sure looks like Israel's starting to get punished a
Speaker 2: little too. And at least The Wall Street Journal reported
Speaker 2: earlier in the week that Israel's running out of defense.
Speaker 1: And they're spending up to two hundred million dollars a day. Wow.
Speaker 2: Yeah, not to mention something like four hundred million in
Speaker 2: counting in repairs and reconstruction costs just from the missile
Speaker 2: strikes that have gotten through. So you know they don't
Speaker 2: have an un they don't have an unlimited time. Well right,
Speaker 2: but if you run out of your air defense capability,
Speaker 2: who things would change fast?
Speaker 1: Oh sure? Yeah? When those hundred look like yeah, when
Speaker 1: those hundred and fifty Iranian drones are headed toward Tel Aviv,
Speaker 1: then you can't shoot them down. Maybe then weekend because
Speaker 1: we got the assets in the area. I don't know
Speaker 1: some of them.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Or does Israel go with massive deterrence probably, not
Speaker 2: a mushroom cloud, probably, but like massive massive attacks on Tehran?
Speaker 1: Yeah, and go it alone because they don't want to
Speaker 1: wait two weeks. Who knows?
Speaker 2: We got mail bag on the way and then as
Speaker 2: Joe mentioned, this is one of the best things.
Speaker 1: I don't remember the last time. Is this excited?
Speaker 2: Three of the stupidest things that have ever been said
Speaker 2: in one segment that all happened in.
Speaker 1: The last twenty four hours. We have those to kick
Speaker 1: off hour two. That'll be fun. Oh I got a
Speaker 1: new one of these.
Speaker 2: So I got a picture of Gavin Newsom at a
Speaker 2: swanky wine event in Napa Valley while the riots in
Speaker 2: the way, moos, burning and everything were at their very height.
Speaker 2: He love it hanging around drinking wine and eating fancy foods.
Speaker 1: He laughed. I laughed. More on that later.
Speaker 2: Here is your freedom loving quote of the day. I've
Speaker 2: got to verify I'm a humans human yesterday when I
Speaker 2: was on your page.
Speaker 1: You idiots, oh are you?
Speaker 2: This one is controversial, I may be ai poorly constructed.
Speaker 2: Liberty cannot be established without morality, nor morality without faith,
Speaker 2: Alexis de Tokville. That's an ongoing debate question in libertarian
Speaker 2: conservative circles. Share to have morality without faith. I think
Speaker 2: you can. It's just a bit of a different beast,
Speaker 2: but that is a thick discussion for another day. You
Speaker 2: certainly can and individduals and individuals. You can have plenty
Speaker 2: of morality being a hardcore atheist, but can you culturally
Speaker 2: wide scale? I don't know, it's never been done before
Speaker 2: as it oh, not successfully. I don't think. I'm sure
Speaker 2: historians will contradict us, but that would we would all
Speaker 2: learn something so contradict away Friends, mail Bag, perhaps you
Speaker 2: can contradict us at mail bag at our strong in
Speaker 2: Getty dot com.
Speaker 1: That is our email address.
Speaker 2: John from Kansas yearns for a more lighthearted show like
Speaker 2: that of Yesteryear, the Armstrong and Getty Show.
Speaker 1: He includes some examples, very amusing. John from Kansas.
Speaker 2: We're aware, we are aware, Toms we're living in.
Speaker 1: We aren't a war footing.
Speaker 2: Moving along Airin from beautiful North Carolina Rights Jack, Joe.
Speaker 2: I keep hearing that Trump is gonna bomb fro To.
Speaker 2: What is Froto doing in Iran? He's done so much
Speaker 2: for Middle Earth. Don't bomb Frodo. Oh my god, but
Speaker 2: you gotta look everywhere for the wren.
Speaker 1: Oh.
Speaker 2: In a similar vein, Mike rights and he uses a
Speaker 2: rather explicit, well somewhat explicit reference to the act of love.
Speaker 2: Whether limited airstrike is uh a realistic estimate of how
Speaker 2: much involvement we would have in attacking Iran, his summary
Speaker 2: being if you're in, you're in you and it is you,
Speaker 2: and I answered, actually, yeah, both actions do have a
Speaker 2: history of escalation. Even if you plan on limited involvement, wow,
Speaker 2: or entry as it were, if you if you go
Speaker 2: that far in your plan is limited involvement?
Speaker 1: What kind of plan was that?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: I don't know that you plan. Are we on the
Speaker 1: act of love or bombing Iran? The act of love?
Speaker 1: How do you get the matter? My plan is limited involvement? Well,
Speaker 1: I'm good.
Speaker 2: What do you mean? You're often the plea is made,
Speaker 2: or occasionally I will only mm hmm.
Speaker 1: Well are we Are we nineteen in this scenario?
Speaker 2: Well, you're in that scenario. In this scenario, the age
Speaker 2: is immaterial.
Speaker 1: Well, how would you ever have the situation is like
Speaker 1: grown ups? Though?
Speaker 2: I know, I know, Well you wouldn't think Katie's staying
Speaker 2: out of this conversation completely?
Speaker 1: Ok? Why probably should? Oh? Yeah, I am.
Speaker 2: True of the millennial rights truck or Tom It's not
Speaker 2: actually Tom, but that that'll do. Whose email we read
Speaker 2: overtly anti Semite and woe right and the rest of.
Speaker 1: It illustrates the woke right phrase very well.
Speaker 2: They have so much contempt for the people opposite them politically,
Speaker 2: but don't realize how similar they are with the woke left.
Speaker 2: It's funny to watch. Among many other characteristics is the
Speaker 2: circular reasoning of argumentation. I'm willing to bet that he
Speaker 2: has already responded with something like see the Zionists call
Speaker 2: any criticism of them anti semitic to suppress any scrutiny.
Speaker 2: It's the same circular reasoning. What's a racist? Someone who
Speaker 2: does racist things? He'll claim he's the victim of Zionis
Speaker 2: depression of thought, claim he'll be trd for anti Semitism,
Speaker 2: for any questioning of Israel Judaism, then say something flagrantly
Speaker 2: anti Semitic, and when the obvious bigotry has pointed out,
Speaker 2: he'll claim that proves his point. To Ryan Long, Woke
Speaker 2: versus Racist video one of the best bits of political
Speaker 2: parody I've ever seen. All of these people need to
Speaker 2: hang out together, develop some self awareness. I believe Ryan
Speaker 2: Long's Woke Versus Racist belongs in the pantheon of the
Speaker 2: greatest humor.
Speaker 1: Soaked editorials in American history. Sure, it's like Samuel Johnson
Speaker 1: or any of the great thinkers.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's amazing, Mark Twain, Hunter Thompson. I think
Speaker 2: he moved millions of minds with that video.
Speaker 1: Ryan, we salute you.
Speaker 2: This from Chris in Spirit Lake, Idaho. I've never been
Speaker 2: to Spirit Lake, but it sounds fantastic. Oh yeah, Anyway,
Speaker 2: he says, I'm very skeptical of AI.
Speaker 1: It looks like more of a parlor trick than anything.
Speaker 2: Yesterday, in the third segment of Ang on Demand, Jack
Speaker 2: asked GPT about the origins of the phrase when the
Speaker 2: a s hits the fan chat, GPT spat out a
Speaker 2: response dating the earliest sited source of the phrase roops
Speaker 2: from the nineteen thirty nine novel Sing the Blues by
Speaker 2: Hal Adobe. I went to look into said novel and
Speaker 2: discovered it doesn't exist really really hallucination. Maybe I haven't
Speaker 2: looked at up myself, but that's what Chris claims. I'll
Speaker 2: look into that because that'd be fascinating. I know it's
Speaker 2: a The hallucination is a real problem, and some other
Speaker 2: good ones coming up. Nobody knows why AI does that
Speaker 2: either or if they can stop it from doing that.
