One title today. Take it 0:00:56.520 --> 0:01:00.280 or leave it, that's what she said. It's summit time. Ooh. 0:01:02.480 --> 0:01:07.240 The face off in Beijing, Donald j versus Winnie the Pooh. 0:01:07.400 --> 0:01:09.759 I don't know if you watched any earlier today when 0:01:09.760 --> 0:01:12.000 he arrived and walked off the plane and the pageantry 0:01:12.000 --> 0:01:12.399 and all that. 0:01:12.360 --> 0:01:12.919 Sort of stuff. 0:01:13.000 --> 0:01:15.520 I did not see that. Now looked like an Olympic 0:01:15.560 --> 0:01:18.240 opening ceremony or something. Wow. And they do it up 0:01:18.280 --> 0:01:20.680 right there in China. Yeah. Yeah, of churs. They're trying 0:01:20.680 --> 0:01:23.040 to get over on the world in variety of ways 0:01:23.040 --> 0:01:24.960 they have. I was just listening this is kind of 0:01:25.000 --> 0:01:26.920 a side note, but I was just listening to somebody 0:01:27.000 --> 0:01:30.880 explain on how those amazing electric cars that China has 0:01:31.000 --> 0:01:33.959 when they we've taken them apart, they're Tesla's. They stole 0:01:34.160 --> 0:01:38.720 all of Tesla's you know, intellectual property and built Tesla's 0:01:38.760 --> 0:01:41.800 for cheaper with you know, with the aid of the 0:01:41.800 --> 0:01:45.199 government and slave labor making them cheaper to build. 0:01:45.360 --> 0:01:47.440 So they just steal everybody's technology. 0:01:47.560 --> 0:01:51.639 Shocking, ass how Hey, you're never been more right, buddy, 0:01:52.360 --> 0:01:54.800 Shocking and utterly unsurprising. 0:01:54.400 --> 0:01:56.520 Right, are has that ever happened like that. 0:01:56.520 --> 0:02:00.320 In world history? Oh? Gosh no, no, not to this level. Obviously, 0:02:00.360 --> 0:02:02.680 everybody's always tried to do that, but at this level. 0:02:02.840 --> 0:02:05.760 You know, the truth of the Internet is that it 0:02:05.800 --> 0:02:11.200 has enabled wonderful things and horrible things, crimes and sickness 0:02:11.240 --> 0:02:13.600 and perversion. And you can stay in touch with your 0:02:13.600 --> 0:02:17.680 aunt more easily, so connect with your old. 0:02:17.639 --> 0:02:18.600 High school girlfriend. 0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:19.360 I mean, back in the. 0:02:19.400 --> 0:02:22.160 Day, the evil doers of the world wished they could 0:02:22.200 --> 0:02:23.760 steal our technology like that. 0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:26.880 Right, But I don't know, I think that should be 0:02:26.960 --> 0:02:30.000 pointed out more often when you have like that big 0:02:30.040 --> 0:02:32.000 Wall Street Journal story that got so much attention A 0:02:32.040 --> 0:02:34.200 couple of weeks ago. Man, if China could sell their 0:02:34.240 --> 0:02:36.160 cars in the United States, it would decimate our hisstory, 0:02:36.400 --> 0:02:40.000 that's because they're building our cars for cheaper. I mean, 0:02:40.240 --> 0:02:43.360 come on, I think this, what I'm about to say 0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:46.680 is really underappreciated, and I would love for it to 0:02:46.720 --> 0:02:48.880 seep into the popular consciousness. And it may. 0:02:49.360 --> 0:02:51.280 I noticed ephen The New York Times has a big 0:02:51.360 --> 0:02:52.480 article today about. 0:02:52.800 --> 0:02:56.840 America's public schools are terrible. We're at a huge crisis 0:02:56.840 --> 0:02:59.200 in education. The kids aren't learning. It's getting worse all 0:02:59.240 --> 0:03:02.359 the time. Oh boy, and it took them long enough 0:03:02.400 --> 0:03:03.160 to wake up to it. 0:03:03.240 --> 0:03:05.840 But anyway, here's what I'd love to see seep into 0:03:05.880 --> 0:03:07.799 the consciousness of Americans. 0:03:08.440 --> 0:03:13.040 On the left. It is absolutely obligatory to be self 0:03:13.040 --> 0:03:16.960 hating of your race, of your country, of your culture. 0:03:17.200 --> 0:03:19.600 It's obligatory in the same way you go down. 0:03:19.600 --> 0:03:24.440 You know, to some backwater Mississippi town in the fifties, say, 0:03:24.960 --> 0:03:27.360 and you've got a bunch of racists run around, a 0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:28.480 bunch of klansmen. 0:03:29.120 --> 0:03:32.079 The fact that they're don't like black folks. Of course 0:03:32.120 --> 0:03:35.600 they don't. That's what they are. And it's stupid. 0:03:35.880 --> 0:03:38.440 You're not gonna take their opinion on what's wrong with 0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:42.040 black people seriously, because you know their their minds are 0:03:42.080 --> 0:03:43.560 completely poisoned. 0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:45.960 And that's the way the American left is. They are 0:03:45.960 --> 0:03:49.400 completely poisoned against the United States of America, the greatest 0:03:49.400 --> 0:03:51.560 country on Earth, which has its sins and problems and 0:03:51.640 --> 0:03:55.920 challenges God knows, But that that knee jerk self hatred. 0:03:56.000 --> 0:04:00.160 It's so stupid. We need to all understand that. You 0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:04.320 would say, then looking at Chinese electric car industry and 0:04:04.520 --> 0:04:07.800 marveling at it like they're better than us somehow without 0:04:07.920 --> 0:04:12.000 any scrutiny. Wow, so quickly? How how are they so 0:04:12.080 --> 0:04:12.680 far ahead of us? 0:04:12.720 --> 0:04:13.280 What happened? 0:04:14.080 --> 0:04:17.240 No, it's just it reinforces your priors, as you like 0:04:17.320 --> 0:04:19.280 to say, and so you don't. 0:04:19.040 --> 0:04:19.800 Even question it. 0:04:20.160 --> 0:04:22.720 Yeah, Elon's on the plane, got off the plane with 0:04:22.760 --> 0:04:25.960 Trump today and Tim Cook from Apple and a whole 0:04:25.960 --> 0:04:28.320 bunch of other super heavyweights of business. 0:04:28.400 --> 0:04:31.080 I'd love for Elon to say, Wow, the car looks familiar. 0:04:31.400 --> 0:04:35.200 I mean like really really familiar. Like all the parts 0:04:35.560 --> 0:04:38.680 look so familiar to me. That's what he should say. 0:04:38.760 --> 0:04:41.640 He should say to somebody, do you know where the 0:04:41.640 --> 0:04:43.080 steering compressor is? Oh? 0:04:43.120 --> 0:04:44.520 You don't, I do it's right over here. 0:04:44.880 --> 0:04:47.760 Yeah, that's where I put it. No, I've never seen 0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:53.279 his car before, but I know, yeah, thieve and thieves Chin. 0:04:53.600 --> 0:04:56.680 An interesting different thing is did you see this story 0:04:56.720 --> 0:04:59.640 about Nike and how Nike's no longer cool in China? 0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:03.200 I did see that. Yeah. And for first of all, 0:05:03.000 --> 0:05:05.680 all shoe stories, to me, they always leave out the 0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:09.040 fact that styles come and go and it has nothing 0:05:09.080 --> 0:05:11.839 to do with the quality of the shoe or anything else, right. 0:05:11.760 --> 0:05:14.680 They just do do you never hang around young people. 0:05:15.120 --> 0:05:18.960 Every person under thirty was wearing Adidas Sambas three years ago. 0:05:19.320 --> 0:05:21.720 Had nothing to do with the quality or anything like that. 0:05:21.720 --> 0:05:23.279 They just became the cool shoe. 0:05:23.920 --> 0:05:26.240 And for whatever reason, Nike's were cool for a long 0:05:26.240 --> 0:05:28.680 time and they're not cool anymore. But so their brand 0:05:28.760 --> 0:05:33.000 is Alta, which they basically stole Nike's technology right on 0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:35.479 the super cool running shoes, made one that looks a 0:05:35.480 --> 0:05:38.279 lot like a Nike, but it's a Chinese shoe. Now. 0:05:38.800 --> 0:05:42.080 Part of it is nationalism. The young Chinese people now 0:05:42.160 --> 0:05:46.000 hate the United States because we're all adversaries. They should 0:05:46.000 --> 0:05:48.000 hate it to wear American brands now, it's like, what 0:05:48.040 --> 0:05:48.640 are you doing? 0:05:48.800 --> 0:05:49.839 But we should hate them. 0:05:50.080 --> 0:05:53.000 Yes, I can't believe there are NBA players that wear 0:05:53.120 --> 0:05:54.240 the Chinese version. 0:05:54.400 --> 0:05:55.640 Yes, but there are a couple. 0:05:55.920 --> 0:05:59.239 Klay Thompson, formerly of the Warriors, so one of the 0:05:59.320 --> 0:06:02.159 Hall of Famer. It's wearing the Chinese shoe. That is 0:06:02.240 --> 0:06:05.359 just a stolen Nike shoe. It's Alta, I think is 0:06:05.400 --> 0:06:08.200 the brandy. I was looking them up on Amazon when 0:06:08.200 --> 0:06:10.440 I was reading this story. They look exactly like because 0:06:10.440 --> 0:06:12.520 I have a pair of the super fancy Nike running 0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:17.599 shoes for walking, but you're old. They're so amazingly comfortable. 0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:19.400 They're unlike anything I've ever worn me real. 0:06:19.480 --> 0:06:21.080 They're like, you don't have shoes on, you got a 0:06:21.120 --> 0:06:21.680 tip of brother. 0:06:21.880 --> 0:06:24.960 They're so unreal. The first time I ever put them on, 0:06:25.000 --> 0:06:29.840 I thought this is nuts, so I sprung for him. AnyWho, Alta, 0:06:29.920 --> 0:06:32.640 the Chinese brand, makes one exactly like it, except it's 0:06:32.760 --> 0:06:35.039 ninety nine dollars instead of two hundred and. 0:06:35.080 --> 0:06:36.000 Ninety nine dollars. 0:06:36.200 --> 0:06:40.640 Yeah. Uh, and they got those on Amazon. We ot 0:06:40.680 --> 0:06:43.200 if you want to promote the communist Chinese. 0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:45.200 Yeah, we ought to treat people sporting those like they 0:06:45.320 --> 0:06:47.960 got swastika is on their feet in nineteen forty three. 0:06:48.560 --> 0:06:53.440 Come on, come on, never mind China, Come on America. 0:06:53.640 --> 0:06:57.880 Oh the self hatred. It makes me insane. How can 0:06:57.920 --> 0:07:00.480 you be so blind to do all what do you 0:07:00.520 --> 0:07:06.200 call it a gratitude exercise or write a list or something. 0:07:06.279 --> 0:07:10.240 It's just it's such a perverse, intellectual deceit, and you've 0:07:10.240 --> 0:07:14.200 got to so blind yourself to some some just mountainous 0:07:14.280 --> 0:07:18.320 truths to believe that. And yet Oliver Academia teaches that 0:07:18.360 --> 0:07:21.120 to kids since they're little kids, right through grad school. 0:07:21.480 --> 0:07:24.000 Oh, it makes me murderous. I won't murder anybody, because 0:07:24.040 --> 0:07:26.640 that's a sin. But that is all correct. Me off, 0:07:26.720 --> 0:07:27.560 that is all correct. 0:07:27.560 --> 0:07:30.040 But I think most of those business people on that plane, 0:07:30.080 --> 0:07:33.840 including Trump, they're over there to just open up that 0:07:33.960 --> 0:07:37.400 giant market of a billion people, and they're perfectly happy 0:07:37.480 --> 0:07:41.320 if they can, you know, sitting around and making nice 0:07:41.320 --> 0:07:42.960 with China and making money off of them. 0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:49.560 So there's that also, Well, if the president takes that attitude, 0:07:49.560 --> 0:07:52.320 it's hard to yell too much about bassetball players who 0:07:52.480 --> 0:07:54.600 write whose agents told them, hey, we can get a 0:07:54.600 --> 0:07:56.600 better deal over here, and they're like, okay, right, you 0:07:56.640 --> 0:07:58.640 sign a forty million dollar deal to wear that shoe, 0:07:58.680 --> 0:07:59.560 and you never think of me. 0:07:59.600 --> 0:08:01.600 Trying Yeah, otherir comfy, great, Okay. 0:08:02.880 --> 0:08:04.200 I had one more point I was gonna make. 0:08:04.240 --> 0:08:06.440 Oh, and then you got the whole Trump keeps saying, 0:08:06.440 --> 0:08:10.320 because he just landed in China that Iran's really not 0:08:10.320 --> 0:08:11.760 not on the agenda. I don't think it's gonna be 0:08:11.760 --> 0:08:14.160 a very big part of the I wonder how that 0:08:14.200 --> 0:08:18.480 works because the number one customer for Iran is China. 0:08:19.440 --> 0:08:20.920 China is their number one customer. 0:08:20.960 --> 0:08:24.120 How could that possibly not be a big part of 0:08:24.160 --> 0:08:27.480 what's being discussed here? For o soyaletically yeah, yeah, yeah, 0:08:27.520 --> 0:08:29.760 for oil. Yeah, I was reading what seemed to be 0:08:29.760 --> 0:08:33.319 a pretty even handed assessment of his Iran. The Uran 0:08:33.400 --> 0:08:36.200 situation caused more problems for the US or or China 0:08:36.200 --> 0:08:36.720 at the summit. 0:08:36.720 --> 0:08:40.880 Who's going to have leverage? And the essence of the takeaway. 0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:43.200 Was, it's kind of, you know, screwing up the US 0:08:43.240 --> 0:08:45.560 in a few ways, and China's got some challenges, but 0:08:45.600 --> 0:08:49.360 there are stockpile and oil and it's okay. Everybody's all right. 0:08:49.600 --> 0:08:51.840 Everybody's got some headaches, but not bad ones. 0:08:52.559 --> 0:08:54.080 I'll tell you what story we're gonna have to get 0:08:54.120 --> 0:08:57.840 to after we start the show. Officially. Oh, I'm Jack Armstrong. 0:08:57.880 --> 0:09:00.959 He's Joe Getty on this. It is Wednesday thirteenth, the 0:09:01.040 --> 0:09:03.800 year twenty twenty six. Armstrong, Getty. We approve of this program. 0:09:03.840 --> 0:09:06.200 All right, let's begin then officially according to FCC rules 0:09:06.240 --> 0:09:06.840 and regulations. 0:09:06.840 --> 0:09:10.600 Here we go. At Mark, I have not lied to Congress. 0:09:10.720 --> 0:09:14.000 I didn't ask that, died to Congress as you. I'm 0:09:14.000 --> 0:09:16.200 not testifying here, sir, and I don't why maybe the 0:09:16.200 --> 0:09:18.240 next time you were off a seven thousand dollars barsab 0:09:18.240 --> 0:09:20.960 we can talk about. Well see there you go line again. 0:09:21.080 --> 0:09:24.040 You suggest the report I roasted right, you suggested it 0:09:24.080 --> 0:09:26.680 was public It wasn't public money, as you know. That 0:09:26.800 --> 0:09:29.240 was for fifty members half part. So it was a 0:09:29.320 --> 0:09:33.160 seven thousand dollars bar tab. All my god. 0:09:33.360 --> 0:09:38.160 That was yet another low moment in American history. Cash 0:09:38.160 --> 0:09:43.000 Patel and Senator Dipstick Van Holland arguing about who's the 0:09:43.160 --> 0:09:48.400 harder drinker at what was passed off as a Senate hearing. 0:09:49.679 --> 0:09:52.559 But it was just a sniping fest. It was a 0:09:53.520 --> 0:09:55.640 poor George Washington rolling over in his grave. 0:09:55.920 --> 0:09:58.200 What was the point? What was the topic there? The 0:09:58.240 --> 0:09:58.720 bar tab? 0:09:58.880 --> 0:10:02.600 That they used taxpayer money for the bar tab, or 0:10:02.640 --> 0:10:04.920 they drink too much. Was it a claim that cash 0:10:04.920 --> 0:10:05.839 Hotel drinks too much? 0:10:05.880 --> 0:10:06.040 Yeah. 0:10:06.120 --> 0:10:09.520 Van Holland was saying that he had episodes of drinking 0:10:09.600 --> 0:10:11.679 and absences and his staff couldn't reach him. 0:10:11.720 --> 0:10:12.199 All that stuff. 0:10:12.200 --> 0:10:14.120 What was it in the New York Times for a minute, 0:10:15.280 --> 0:10:18.840 and cash Betel, not content to deny, went on the 0:10:18.840 --> 0:10:23.240 counter attack and accused Holland of running up a Van 0:10:23.280 --> 0:10:26.319 Holland of seven thousand dollars bar tab for some staff meeting. 0:10:26.360 --> 0:10:29.079 And he's like, well, that wasn't public money. Yeah, that 0:10:29.160 --> 0:10:32.480 was probably a campaign contributor for money and you got 0:10:32.520 --> 0:10:36.360 them a tunnel or a you know, easier regulations or what. Look, 0:10:36.400 --> 0:10:39.160 if the topic is how much we'd drink, who paid 0:10:39.200 --> 0:10:41.960 for the drinks is not the issue at this point. 0:10:42.160 --> 0:10:43.280 Which what are we talking about. 0:10:43.280 --> 0:10:45.360 We're talking about how we spend taxpayer money or how 0:10:45.400 --> 0:10:48.120 much we drink. That's what I would have said, Trunk, Kara, Trunk, 0:10:49.960 --> 0:10:51.760 We're going to the topic of who drank the most. 0:10:51.840 --> 0:10:53.000 Sounds like you drank the most. 0:10:53.760 --> 0:10:55.400 Here's the story we got to get to and you 0:10:55.480 --> 0:10:59.880 never know if it's true or not because after Russia, 0:11:01.400 --> 0:11:02.960 there are so many stories in the New York Times, 0:11:03.080 --> 0:11:05.320 Washington Post, other places that turned out to be completely 0:11:05.320 --> 0:11:08.280 bogus from unnamed sources. But New York Times got a 0:11:08.280 --> 0:11:10.400 big story out today quoting a whole bunch of people 0:11:10.440 --> 0:11:15.240 in our intelligence community that Iran has way more missiles 0:11:15.240 --> 0:11:17.840 and rockets and rocket launchers and all that sort of 0:11:17.840 --> 0:11:21.840 stuff than we were led to believe, like a lot. 0:11:22.200 --> 0:11:25.280 Yeah, their arsenal is more or less intact according to 0:11:25.360 --> 0:11:26.520 that story. 0:11:26.320 --> 0:11:29.000 Right, which, if it's true, is horrifying. What did we 0:11:29.040 --> 0:11:32.560 get for those fifteen thousand strikes? How do we not 0:11:32.600 --> 0:11:34.560 take those out? I mean, I don't know anything about this. 0:11:34.679 --> 0:11:37.360 Maybe it makes perfectly good sense, but I'm surprised that 0:11:37.440 --> 0:11:41.480 they still have that capability. Yeah, it didn't have the 0:11:41.520 --> 0:11:44.760 feel of a Russia gate pilot Capno, me, it did not. 0:11:45.200 --> 0:11:48.400 They certainly have every interest in declaring, you know, Trump 0:11:48.440 --> 0:11:51.559 of failure, and I haven't yet heard anybody come out 0:11:51.559 --> 0:11:54.800 and say that's absolutely not true. Yeah. Yeah, we'll bring 0:11:54.800 --> 0:11:58.000 you the facts and figures. They're surprising, Yeah, surprising and troubling. 0:11:58.080 --> 0:11:59.920 So we got headlines on the way and a bunch 0:11:59.920 --> 0:12:09.640 of other news. I hope you can stay here so 0:12:09.840 --> 0:12:14.480 later we'll have to get into the musk Altman Open 0:12:14.480 --> 0:12:18.280 aiy trial that's going on in Oakland. Here's my funniest, 0:12:18.400 --> 0:12:24.520 my favorite tidbit from yesterday. Altman I think himself complaining 0:12:24.600 --> 0:12:27.600 that in one key meeting, when this whole thing was 0:12:27.600 --> 0:12:31.960 coming apart, Elon wouldn't pay any attention. All he did 0:12:32.040 --> 0:12:35.040 was kept people showing people funny memes on his phone. 0:12:36.559 --> 0:12:42.120 Wow wow, which you can picture. 0:12:42.640 --> 0:12:49.360 Yeah. Yeah, So one kind of non headline is very briefly, 0:12:50.320 --> 0:12:55.880 because you don't spread news that's not yours to spread. 0:12:56.600 --> 0:12:58.680 I will just say this about this segment and the 0:12:58.720 --> 0:13:04.520 person who usually participates Senate, everything's great, everything's great, moving along. 0:13:05.720 --> 0:13:07.959 Inflation ticked up. Maybe you heard that we've got kind 0:13:07.960 --> 0:13:10.240 of a breakdown. It's a rising energy costs for a 0:13:10.280 --> 0:13:13.839 main factor. Although interestingly, and I'm not going to get 0:13:13.880 --> 0:13:15.800 into the bond markets. I mean, you could put an 0:13:15.800 --> 0:13:18.680 insomniac to sleep with a discussion of the bond markets. 0:13:19.080 --> 0:13:24.199 But the way they're acting is serious. Investors are thinking, yeah, 0:13:24.440 --> 0:13:29.200 higher inflation for an extended period like maybe years, and 0:13:29.280 --> 0:13:31.920 probably no rate cuts, so we're going to bet accordingly. 0:13:32.160 --> 0:13:34.320 Really yeah, I like hearing that. 0:13:34.480 --> 0:13:36.480 Oh I hate it here, I hate telling you that. 0:13:36.800 --> 0:13:38.360 Oh my god, I know. 0:13:38.640 --> 0:13:43.080 We're talking to a real estate expert the other day, saying, 0:13:43.200 --> 0:13:46.520 people who didn't buy like five years ago, raising both 0:13:46.559 --> 0:13:49.760 of my hands yes, thinking that, you know what, things 0:13:49.800 --> 0:13:52.959 have got to come down. Yeah, missed out and they 0:13:53.000 --> 0:13:57.320 may never get back in. And that's the way I feel. 0:13:57.480 --> 0:14:00.640 I thought, there's no way houses state is high, and 0:14:00.760 --> 0:14:03.640 with interest rates where they're I'm waiting, I'm not gonna 0:14:03.679 --> 0:14:06.160 get fulled this time, right, And I wait, I'm not 0:14:06.240 --> 0:14:09.800 going all two thousand and six again, exactly. I'm no fool. 0:14:11.400 --> 0:14:12.840 Do you know what I just missed out? 0:14:13.000 --> 0:14:15.600 I did buy in the sweet spot, thank you Lord. 0:14:16.360 --> 0:14:20.360 And that news makes me want to despair, just the 0:14:20.400 --> 0:14:25.120 wackiness of the economy. Here's my favorite economic statistic. And Jack, 0:14:25.200 --> 0:14:26.480 I know this is going to hit you hard. You 0:14:26.560 --> 0:14:30.360 might want to sit down. Breakdown of goods and services. 0:14:30.400 --> 0:14:31.120 Blah blah blah. 0:14:31.160 --> 0:14:34.640 The price of canned produce rose five point seven percent. 0:14:34.800 --> 0:14:37.320 Damn it in the previous year. My green beans. I 0:14:37.360 --> 0:14:41.240 do love canned produce. Great, Scott, this is the US 0:14:41.240 --> 0:14:43.680 of a we get it fresh here. God, I remember 0:14:43.720 --> 0:14:45.680 the veggies we had to choke down as a kid, 0:14:46.240 --> 0:14:49.240 overcooked out of God, I'm gagging thinking about it. 0:14:49.960 --> 0:14:53.600 I thought I hated vegetables. Then I started getting them 0:14:53.640 --> 0:14:55.400 fresh and I'm like, wow, this is great. 0:14:55.680 --> 0:14:57.720 I've seen them on plates at places I don't know. 0:14:59.520 --> 0:15:04.600 Oh oh boy. So the Prime Minister of Great Britain, 0:15:05.360 --> 0:15:09.280 hair Stormer may be going down. There's a possibility they're 0:15:09.280 --> 0:15:11.520 going to call for a new election, and he's got 0:15:12.160 --> 0:15:15.160 an approval rating at like fifteen percent currently ale bounce back, 0:15:15.200 --> 0:15:16.400 and so they might be going down. 0:15:16.640 --> 0:15:20.120 To whatever extent you care about that, yeah, I do. 0:15:20.360 --> 0:15:22.920 But be nice to have somebody that might be a 0:15:22.960 --> 0:15:26.480 little more friendly toward us. He's super out there, hates 0:15:26.520 --> 0:15:29.760 the United States, and yeah, he's a left wing whackadoodle. 0:15:30.360 --> 0:15:34.120 I read more into that Sweden's big free market turnaround thing. 0:15:34.680 --> 0:15:36.600 You had to read down into it. We talked about 0:15:36.600 --> 0:15:38.200 this briefly yesterday. I'd love to get into it in 0:15:38.200 --> 0:15:41.720 more detail today, but you had to read down a 0:15:41.760 --> 0:15:47.360 ways to hear people admit that, Yeah, we let all 0:15:47.400 --> 0:15:51.640 sorts of quote unquote refugees and immigrants in who don't 0:15:51.640 --> 0:15:55.680 buy into our morals or our culture or our system, 0:15:55.920 --> 0:15:59.600 and they're forming gangs and they're doing crimes, and they're 0:15:59.640 --> 0:16:03.440 ripping off our generous state welfare system in ways that 0:16:03.520 --> 0:16:07.280 we didn't realize people would. We thought everyone was like us. 0:16:07.640 --> 0:16:12.240 Everything is downstream of culture. Don't give away your culture. 0:16:13.640 --> 0:16:16.880 So yesterday we never really got into that mayor of 0:16:17.040 --> 0:16:19.400 Arcadia suburb of Los Angeles who turned out to be 0:16:19.440 --> 0:16:23.280 working for the Chinese Communist Party. And it fits in 0:16:23.360 --> 0:16:27.320 with the chick that was sexing up the billionaire owner 0:16:27.320 --> 0:16:31.080 of the Milwaukee Bucks. Oh right, she turns out just 0:16:31.520 --> 0:16:34.600 came out today she is also tied to the Communist Party. 0:16:34.760 --> 0:16:36.880 And it's just an overall story of China's done a 0:16:36.920 --> 0:16:40.720 better job of getting spies into our country and getting 0:16:40.760 --> 0:16:43.760 themselves into our politics or into our billionaire's pants or 0:16:44.320 --> 0:16:47.240 whatever they're trying to do, or our congressman's beds, or 0:16:47.320 --> 0:16:50.200 you know whatever wherever they're trying to go from China, 0:16:50.920 --> 0:16:55.280 from twenty four year old sex pots to geek scientists 0:16:55.360 --> 0:16:57.840 to her grad assistants at your local university. 0:16:57.880 --> 0:17:01.920 Yeah they have, And I remember when was it? When 0:17:01.920 --> 0:17:03.480 did we talk about this? A lot? 0:17:03.960 --> 0:17:07.520 But the whole of society campaign to undermine the United 0:17:07.520 --> 0:17:10.880 States and surpass us. Like every trade, every profession, every 0:17:10.880 --> 0:17:14.000 person is tasked with doing that. So the big explosive 0:17:14.040 --> 0:17:17.200 story about how much more capability Iran has in terms 0:17:17.200 --> 0:17:19.119 of rockets and launchers and all that sort of stuff. 0:17:19.119 --> 0:17:20.520 We can give you some of the details on that. 0:17:20.520 --> 0:17:24.280 It's troubling arm Strong and Getty. Are you aware of 0:17:24.359 --> 0:17:28.919 reports that Pakistan are are allowing their bases to be 0:17:29.080 --> 0:17:37.760 used to park Iranian aircraft? General Kane su I've seen 0:17:37.840 --> 0:17:42.120 one report on that. Was it accurate? Sorry, I think 0:17:42.680 --> 0:17:47.240 based on the variety of classific classification. Matt, let me 0:17:47.320 --> 0:17:49.159 just say, do you agree if it is accurate, that 0:17:49.320 --> 0:17:53.560 is sort of inconsistent with it being a peace mediator. Sure, 0:17:53.560 --> 0:17:55.480 I wouldn't want to comment on that based on the 0:17:55.560 --> 0:18:01.440 ongoing negotiations. Oh, I don't know why he didn't want 0:18:01.480 --> 0:18:05.600 to talk about that. The Secretary, my word, Lindsey Graham, 0:18:06.240 --> 0:18:12.080 our Senator Lindsay grand So talking to Cain. General Kin, Yeah, 0:18:12.160 --> 0:18:14.280 and General Kin didn't want to go there for whatever reason, 0:18:14.280 --> 0:18:16.280 and Lindsey Graham kind of lost his mind a little later. 0:18:16.320 --> 0:18:18.560 Maybe we'll play that later about how angry he got 0:18:18.880 --> 0:18:20.720 about You know, I don't trust these guys. 0:18:20.800 --> 0:18:21.720 No, he shouldn't trust them. 0:18:21.760 --> 0:18:24.119 They hid bin Laden from US, and they're letting Iran 0:18:24.200 --> 0:18:26.320 park their planes, so they can't be blown up and 0:18:26.400 --> 0:18:28.879 all kinds of other stuff, and they're the arbiters for 0:18:28.920 --> 0:18:31.119 this peace deal. It's ridiculous anyway, I don't want to 0:18:31.119 --> 0:18:32.800 get off on that. This is the story that's getting 0:18:32.840 --> 0:18:34.760 so much attention today. It's in the New York Times. 0:18:35.280 --> 0:18:39.520 The Trump administration's public portrayal of a shattered Iranian military 0:18:39.600 --> 0:18:42.800 is sharply at odds with what US intelligence agencies are 0:18:42.880 --> 0:18:47.280 telling policymakers behind closed doors. This is according to classified 0:18:47.280 --> 0:18:50.440 assessments from early this month that show Iran has regained 0:18:50.480 --> 0:18:54.480 access to most of its missile sites, launchers, and underground facilities. 0:18:54.920 --> 0:18:58.000 Most alarming to some senior officials is evidence that Iran 0:18:58.040 --> 0:19:02.359 has restored operational access to thirty of the thirty three 0:19:02.359 --> 0:19:05.520 missile sites it maintains along the Strait of. 0:19:05.400 --> 0:19:07.080 Horror Moves ooh by. 0:19:07.280 --> 0:19:10.000 Which of course, could threaten American warships and oil tankers 0:19:10.040 --> 0:19:13.520 transiting the Narrow Waterway. So I don't I don't know 0:19:13.520 --> 0:19:17.879 anything about this, So I can't claim incompetence or you know, anything. 0:19:18.000 --> 0:19:19.840 Really, I don't know anything about this, but. 0:19:19.840 --> 0:19:23.280 I'm just shocked with after all that bombing and the 0:19:23.359 --> 0:19:27.639 idea that we had decimated their ability to you know, 0:19:27.760 --> 0:19:30.360 fire back at us that we, you know, really had 0:19:30.359 --> 0:19:33.159 some supremacy in the skies and could do whatever he wanted. 0:19:33.680 --> 0:19:37.040 That they got thirty of thirty three rocket launchers still 0:19:37.040 --> 0:19:38.040 going along the strait. 0:19:38.880 --> 0:19:41.040 Yeah, we do have supremacy in the sky and all 0:19:41.040 --> 0:19:42.800 that sort of stuff. But it looks and we ought 0:19:42.800 --> 0:19:45.000 to talk to Mike Lyons about this. I'm going to tomorrow. 0:19:45.080 --> 0:19:50.080 It looks like they went to ground in a way, 0:19:49.880 --> 0:19:52.680 they hid their stuff and buried it or whatever, took 0:19:52.680 --> 0:19:55.080 a deep underground knowing that the attacks were coming. 0:19:55.680 --> 0:19:58.480 In general, for the whole country, Iran still fields about 0:19:58.520 --> 0:20:01.879 seventy percent of its mobile launchers across the country and 0:20:01.920 --> 0:20:05.960 has retained roughly seventy percent of its pre war missile stockpile. 0:20:06.280 --> 0:20:10.240 According to the assessments, that stockpile encompasses both ballistic missiles 0:20:10.240 --> 0:20:12.560 which can target other nations in the region, and a 0:20:12.600 --> 0:20:15.800 smaller supply of cruise missiles, which can be used against 0:20:16.000 --> 0:20:17.919 shorter range targets on land or at sea. 0:20:18.920 --> 0:20:20.440 That is pretty troubling stuff. 0:20:20.600 --> 0:20:22.800 Now. At the same time, the story came out today 0:20:22.840 --> 0:20:26.879 that yesterday the story came out that the UAE had also. 0:20:26.680 --> 0:20:30.200 Bombed Iran during this whole war. Today, the story's out that. 0:20:30.160 --> 0:20:33.800 Saudi Arabia joined Israel and US in the bombing oh 0:20:33.840 --> 0:20:37.240 and kept it quiet the whole time for obvious reasons. 0:20:37.640 --> 0:20:40.320 I mean, that could disrupt a lot of their population. 0:20:40.840 --> 0:20:42.639 I mean, if it was a big, splashy headline that 0:20:42.920 --> 0:20:46.639 Saudi Arabia joins the Jews and bobbing Muslims. Oh, you 0:20:46.720 --> 0:20:49.119 write that headline in Saudi, you get your hands chopped 0:20:49.160 --> 0:20:52.320 off if you're lucky. Yeah. Yeah. 0:20:52.359 --> 0:20:55.560 And they say they have regained access to roughly ninety 0:20:55.560 --> 0:20:59.359 percent of its underground missile storage and launch facilities nationwide. 0:21:00.040 --> 0:21:02.400 Minded of our last conversation with Mike Clients in which 0:21:02.400 --> 0:21:05.160 we were talking about the fact that given the narrowness 0:21:05.200 --> 0:21:07.840
