WEBVTT - A Chimp With A Loaded Revolver 0:00:01.840 --> 0:00:05.640 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio of the 0:00:05.720 --> 0:00:10.680 George Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong 0:00:10.800 --> 0:00:24.480 and Jackie and he Armstrong and Jetty, they should have left. 0:00:24.480 --> 0:00:26.079 They should have made the deal. I had a great 0:00:26.079 --> 0:00:28.600 deal for them. They should have made that deal. Sixty 0:00:28.680 --> 0:00:31.320 days we talked about it, and in the end they 0:00:31.360 --> 0:00:33.839 decided not to do it. And now they wish they 0:00:33.880 --> 0:00:37.080 did it, and they want to meet. But it's a 0:00:37.200 --> 0:00:39.400 little late to meet. But they want to meet, and 0:00:39.440 --> 0:00:41.080 they want to come to the White House. So even 0:00:41.159 --> 0:00:43.120 come to the White House. So we'll see. I may 0:00:43.159 --> 0:00:43.479 do that. 0:00:45.720 --> 0:00:49.479 So Trump asked, over and over again. He kept saying, 0:00:50.560 --> 0:00:53.720 no matter what the question was, pretty much yesterday, whether 0:00:53.760 --> 0:00:56.160 he was on the White House lawn or in the 0:00:56.200 --> 0:00:59.080 Oval office behind the desk, that Iran can't have a 0:00:59.160 --> 0:01:02.600 nuclear weapon, saying it for twenty years, Ran cannot have 0:01:02.720 --> 0:01:03.520 a nuclear weapon. 0:01:03.560 --> 0:01:05.039 Here's a little more Trump, he. 0:01:05.120 --> 0:01:09.399 Says them on Iran, if regime change does happen there, 0:01:09.440 --> 0:01:11.880 if the regime fools, do you have a plan for 0:01:11.920 --> 0:01:14.840 what you think would happen, plan for. 0:01:14.800 --> 0:01:17.320 Everything, But we'll see what happens here kind of ways 0:01:17.319 --> 0:01:19.640 to go they should have made that dea in sixty days. 0:01:19.640 --> 0:01:22.520 We talked about it and in the end they decided 0:01:22.720 --> 0:01:24.880 not to do it, and now they wish they did it. 0:01:25.959 --> 0:01:29.120 Yeah, on all the headlines yesterday where Trump has signed 0:01:29.200 --> 0:01:34.720 off on the plan to attack the nuclear facility but 0:01:34.880 --> 0:01:36.479 hasn't decided when yet. 0:01:37.840 --> 0:01:41.160 Did you see the denial from the mullas might have 0:01:41.240 --> 0:01:43.520 been even the head guy that they were willing to 0:01:43.560 --> 0:01:46.039 talk and go to the White House. He said, we'll 0:01:46.120 --> 0:01:48.720 never crawl to the gates of the White House for 0:01:49.840 --> 0:01:53.840 mercy or donag or whatever. Eating with them scumbags. You 0:01:53.880 --> 0:01:56.120 can nied it up and down, but he probably has to. 0:01:57.520 --> 0:02:05.840 Yeah, there seems like the negotiating daser passed us. Uh right, 0:02:06.400 --> 0:02:07.720 I don't I don't know if I don't know if 0:02:07.760 --> 0:02:10.160 they could pull the plug at this point, man, it 0:02:10.240 --> 0:02:12.200 would take an extraordinary statement. 0:02:13.120 --> 0:02:14.840 Well, I want to read this book when it comes out, 0:02:14.880 --> 0:02:19.160 But I could easily believe behind the scenes, the powers 0:02:19.160 --> 0:02:25.040 that be in Tehran made that overture to Trump, believing 0:02:25.080 --> 0:02:28.440 it would be top secret, and then Trump waved their 0:02:28.600 --> 0:02:32.600 uh you know, you know, waved it in their faces. Yeah, 0:02:32.600 --> 0:02:34.919 you're begging me, you want to come to the White House, 0:02:35.280 --> 0:02:38.240 and they're freaking out. They're thinking, no, no, no, this 0:02:38.320 --> 0:02:40.400 has got to be secret or will lose the support 0:02:40.440 --> 0:02:46.000 of our ultra conservative supporters. And Trump may well be thinking, yeah, 0:02:46.040 --> 0:02:50.160 I don't care. That sounds like a you problem. This 0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:51.800 is all going to be out in the open now. 0:02:52.120 --> 0:02:53.960 Yeah. I don't remember if I asked this yesterday. 0:02:53.960 --> 0:02:57.280 Do you think we we or Israel actually does know 0:02:57.320 --> 0:02:59.640 where the eyetola is, like, has his location? 0:03:01.160 --> 0:03:02.560 It's entirely possible. 0:03:02.760 --> 0:03:03.720 Wow, that'd be something. 0:03:04.639 --> 0:03:08.120 Do we have a source in the Palace guard or 0:03:08.160 --> 0:03:09.760 whatever the formal term is for that. 0:03:09.880 --> 0:03:10.240 I don't know. 0:03:10.320 --> 0:03:13.320 I was listened to a great interview yesterday with what 0:03:13.760 --> 0:03:15.560 let me find his name, because I'm a fan. 0:03:15.639 --> 0:03:18.960 I've been a fan of his for years, Ken Pollack. 0:03:20.160 --> 0:03:20.799 He was in. 0:03:22.360 --> 0:03:26.359 CIA, NSA, all those different kind of things in different administrations, 0:03:26.960 --> 0:03:30.600 and I've been reading this stuff and watching m be 0:03:30.639 --> 0:03:33.679 interviewed for years in a variety of topics. And he 0:03:34.200 --> 0:03:37.120 confirmed when I asked that, Yeah, there almost has to 0:03:37.160 --> 0:03:41.600 be a fair amount of human intelligence in Iran for 0:03:41.800 --> 0:03:44.120 Israel to have pulled off what they've pulled off. 0:03:44.560 --> 0:03:45.800 So they have. 0:03:47.440 --> 0:03:51.320 Iranians who have turned because they don't like the regime, 0:03:51.600 --> 0:03:53.160 or they're just getting paid off, or any of the 0:03:53.160 --> 0:03:55.320 reasons anybody ever turns on their own country. 0:03:55.840 --> 0:03:58.680 Maybe my sister got beat to death in the jail 0:03:58.840 --> 0:04:00.520 for showing your hair on the street. 0:04:00.600 --> 0:04:04.480 Yeah, I'm not a big fan, right, So, and you 0:04:04.520 --> 0:04:08.640 know who how close that human intelligence is to the Iyatola? 0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:11.000 And could you know nail down where he is? We 0:04:11.040 --> 0:04:13.920 don't know. But he made the point that the reason 0:04:14.000 --> 0:04:17.760 we don't want to kill the Ayatola is we have 0:04:18.120 --> 0:04:21.040 been in a unique position for a lot of years 0:04:21.080 --> 0:04:23.960 to where we're pretty much the only country in the 0:04:24.000 --> 0:04:28.360 world that has the technology to just snuff people anywhere 0:04:28.360 --> 0:04:30.560 on the planet when we decide we need. 0:04:30.400 --> 0:04:31.400 To, and then we do. 0:04:32.120 --> 0:04:34.360 And you know, sometimes you and gets unhappy about it, 0:04:34.440 --> 0:04:36.440 or some countries make some noise, But Dan, whatever, what 0:04:36.480 --> 0:04:36.960 are you going to do? 0:04:37.120 --> 0:04:38.040 We're the United States. 0:04:39.360 --> 0:04:43.240 Soon, like very soon, lots of countries are going to 0:04:43.320 --> 0:04:46.560 have the technology to be able to strike somebody anywhere 0:04:46.600 --> 0:04:49.719 on the planet with a swarm of drones or whatever, 0:04:50.040 --> 0:04:52.880 and normalizing that is not going to be to our 0:04:52.920 --> 0:04:55.960 benefit when all of a sudden, and he used the 0:04:56.000 --> 0:04:59.760 example Pete Heggzeth is walking out of a restaurant and 0:04:59.760 --> 0:05:01.920 get hit with a couple of drones and take it out, 0:05:02.360 --> 0:05:04.880 and China says, well we had to because of blah 0:05:04.920 --> 0:05:07.000 blah blah, and the world gets mad about it. 0:05:07.000 --> 0:05:08.440 But what are you gonna do? The United States has 0:05:08.440 --> 0:05:09.680 been doing it for years. 0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:15.360 Oh boy, and then never ending tit for tat assassinations, right, 0:05:16.240 --> 0:05:17.440 Doc Syndrone, Huh. 0:05:17.600 --> 0:05:19.920 I'm not against any of this, but we have been 0:05:19.960 --> 0:05:22.960 in a unique situation where you know, I never can 0:05:22.960 --> 0:05:26.960 pronounce his right name, right, Solomani, the the Iranian general. 0:05:27.040 --> 0:05:28.880 We just take him out. He's a bad guy. 0:05:29.400 --> 0:05:32.960 The other the reason other countries don't do that, they can't. 0:05:33.680 --> 0:05:35.560 They just have never they haven't been able to. 0:05:36.080 --> 0:05:39.320 Well, we're very very restrained about it, Yes we are, 0:05:39.920 --> 0:05:44.200 but it's still a heck of a thing. Imagine living 0:05:44.200 --> 0:05:47.520 in a country where somebody just all of a sudden 0:05:47.520 --> 0:05:50.520 can get vaporized by China or Russia or North Korea 0:05:50.640 --> 0:05:54.960 or whoever thinks that they're evil. Yikes, And then you 0:05:55.040 --> 0:05:59.479 got the murders of those poor legislators in Minneapolis. Who's 0:05:59.520 --> 0:06:02.240 to say, or Minnesota, who's to say? It will just 0:06:02.320 --> 0:06:06.880 be malevolent foreign actors that'll, you know, hop on the 0:06:07.160 --> 0:06:09.080 I don't like him. I'm gonna rub him out train. 0:06:09.240 --> 0:06:11.400 Yeah so, I don't know if I believe that or 0:06:11.440 --> 0:06:13.920 not in this case, that that's a good reason to 0:06:13.920 --> 0:06:17.320 not take out the iyatola or if any that's on 0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:18.239 anybody's mind. 0:06:18.360 --> 0:06:21.919 But man, every day I'm reconvinced that the Internet and 0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:23.920 AI is like handing a chimp. 0:06:23.800 --> 0:06:27.120 Or loaded revolver. That'd be a bad, bad idea. That 0:06:27.200 --> 0:06:29.240 seems like a bad idea. I mean, I haven't realized 0:06:29.279 --> 0:06:30.839 my point. I haven't thought about it for more than 0:06:30.880 --> 0:06:36.159 a couple of seconds. But a chill advise that I'm 0:06:36.200 --> 0:06:41.880 thinking it through. Yeah, yeah, you could get unforeseen consequences 0:06:41.880 --> 0:06:42.280 out of that. 0:06:42.320 --> 0:06:44.200 A chimp with a loaded revolver. 0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:48.120 And maybe a machine gun would be a more apt metaphor, honestly, 0:06:48.240 --> 0:06:50.440 given the amount of damage that could be done quickly. 0:06:50.760 --> 0:06:51.240 Yeah. 0:06:51.279 --> 0:06:54.240 So Trump said, he said he's going to make his 0:06:54.320 --> 0:06:56.560 decision at the last second. He said, because things can 0:06:56.640 --> 0:06:58.919 change when it comes to war. You know, you got 0:06:59.000 --> 0:07:00.839 to wait till the last moment to make the decision. 0:07:01.400 --> 0:07:04.080 I don't have any idea if it's gonna he at 0:07:04.080 --> 0:07:06.680 some point you said yesterday, you know, could be soon, 0:07:06.720 --> 0:07:08.359 could be a week, maybe sooner. 0:07:08.720 --> 0:07:09.520 So I don't know. 0:07:09.560 --> 0:07:11.560 For some reason, I was pictured sooner than a week, 0:07:11.880 --> 0:07:15.400 just based on the fact that we closed the embassy 0:07:15.440 --> 0:07:19.040 in Tel Aviv for the next three days, you know, 0:07:19.120 --> 0:07:21.360 all the big meetings they've been having, that sort of thing. 0:07:21.400 --> 0:07:23.040 I just I've been assuming it's going to happen like 0:07:23.080 --> 0:07:25.800 the day or tomorrow. That hint from the Israeli ambassador 0:07:25.800 --> 0:07:27.800 that you're going to see something on Thursday or Friday 0:07:27.960 --> 0:07:31.640 that makes the pager attack look like nothing. That's gotta 0:07:31.680 --> 0:07:34.480 be an overstatement, doesn't It almost has to be. 0:07:35.640 --> 0:07:36.240 I don't. 0:07:36.720 --> 0:07:38.440 I don't sell the Israeli short. 0:07:38.600 --> 0:07:42.520 So every expert that I've listened to on a podcast 0:07:42.720 --> 0:07:47.280 or interview says this, The Israelis have to have something 0:07:47.400 --> 0:07:51.080 up their sleeve to deal with Fidah. There's no way 0:07:51.120 --> 0:07:54.720 they went into this without the ability to take out 0:07:54.720 --> 0:07:58.920 Fordoh and just counting on the fact that the United 0:07:58.920 --> 0:07:59.920 States would do it for him. 0:08:00.000 --> 0:08:00.760 There's just no way. 0:08:00.800 --> 0:08:04.880 They had to have some plan to you know, destroy 0:08:04.880 --> 0:08:09.000 it with a computer virus or get you know, commandos 0:08:09.040 --> 0:08:10.280 in there or something. 0:08:10.440 --> 0:08:12.240 There's got to be something going on there. 0:08:12.280 --> 0:08:14.400 So that's what we're probably going to see in the 0:08:14.440 --> 0:08:16.000 next couple of days or a week. 0:08:16.680 --> 0:08:19.160 Yeah, but I could see, you know, both kind of 0:08:19.200 --> 0:08:22.880 sort of being true in that an enormously expensive and 0:08:23.320 --> 0:08:28.040 in terms of Live's commando attack, special forces attack, I 0:08:28.080 --> 0:08:30.440 mean lots of boots on the ground over rights and 0:08:30.560 --> 0:08:34.080 in that period of time that was so costly. Oh yeah, yeah, 0:08:34.160 --> 0:08:35.600 you could lose a lot of guys. 0:08:35.679 --> 0:08:37.680 But in so you would be hope in the US 0:08:37.679 --> 0:08:39.680 would step in Israel's mind, it would be worth it. 0:08:39.720 --> 0:08:42.000 But yeah, if the United States says we'll vomit for you, 0:08:42.040 --> 0:08:42.880 then you don't have. 0:08:42.840 --> 0:08:45.079 To do that, right, I guess is your point. 0:08:46.240 --> 0:08:49.679 Let's listen to Senator Mark Wayne Mullen. We've had him 0:08:49.720 --> 0:08:52.480 on the show, kind of interested in what he has 0:08:52.520 --> 0:08:53.480 to say. Clip sixty five. 0:08:53.520 --> 0:08:56.800 There, Michael, keep in mind, this isn't just one facility 0:08:56.559 --> 0:09:00.679 the Iranian regime had spread. It just be portion across 0:09:00.679 --> 0:09:05.480 the country and specifically five separate locations, and we know 0:09:05.520 --> 0:09:08.720 where those locations are. We have pretty good intel. The 0:09:09.000 --> 0:09:12.080 Israelis have also shared intel with US, and so if 0:09:12.080 --> 0:09:14.160 there's a reason for US to make sure that they 0:09:14.200 --> 0:09:17.640 can never achieve a nuclear weapon, then that is in 0:09:17.679 --> 0:09:18.840 the United States interest. 0:09:19.880 --> 0:09:25.080 So if you're old enough to have lived through the 0:09:25.120 --> 0:09:26.760 whole build up to the Iraq war. 0:09:27.520 --> 0:09:30.079 He is still smart a little bit from the whole. 0:09:30.920 --> 0:09:35.000 We have solid evidence mobile chemical labs moving around the 0:09:35.000 --> 0:09:39.599 country making you know, all kinds of disastrous gases, and 0:09:40.000 --> 0:09:42.760 none of that turned out to be true. But the 0:09:42.840 --> 0:09:45.439 Senator goes on here with the intelligence saying. 0:09:45.280 --> 0:09:48.360 The US intelligence community is saying that Iran is close. 0:09:48.480 --> 0:09:51.520 I'm saying the assets that we have now, the information 0:09:51.640 --> 0:09:54.600 we're receiving that we're using with our partners in Israel, 0:09:54.760 --> 0:09:57.920 and the information we're receiving from the intelligence community is 0:09:57.960 --> 0:10:00.200 that they are very close. In March, the different the 0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:03.480 information was quite different. But who told the information has changed? 0:10:05.040 --> 0:10:07.120 Who told you that about the intelligence community? Because just 0:10:07.240 --> 0:10:10.000 the ranking Democrat on this ended Intelligence Committe, Mark Warner, 0:10:10.000 --> 0:10:13.840 said that his understanding was that the intelligence community's assessment 0:10:13.960 --> 0:10:16.959 was still today what Telsey Gabberd said, and Mark, well, 0:10:17.200 --> 0:10:19.400 I will tell you, and I can't. I've got to 0:10:19.440 --> 0:10:21.040 walk careful to how far I can go with this, 0:10:21.160 --> 0:10:25.040 because obviously, if I'm getting read in on programs, or 0:10:25.240 --> 0:10:28.680 if we're getting briefed in a in a classified briefing, 0:10:28.720 --> 0:10:30.600 there's very little information I can actually come out. 0:10:30.640 --> 0:10:31.079 I'm tony. 0:10:31.120 --> 0:10:34.040 The information that we've received will tell you that they 0:10:34.040 --> 0:10:35.439 are very, very close to it. 0:10:36.160 --> 0:10:38.720 Do you have concern about this, that it's being overstated 0:10:38.760 --> 0:10:40.319 how close they are to a nuclear weapon? 0:10:40.320 --> 0:10:41.960 And then I've got a response. 0:10:43.640 --> 0:10:48.280 Not a lot, just because I've been following the various 0:10:48.440 --> 0:10:52.520 estimates and projections through the years and the full range 0:10:52.520 --> 0:10:55.280 of them, from the very hawkish to the dubvish, and 0:10:55.800 --> 0:10:58.439 this does not seem It's like, you know, a poll 0:10:58.520 --> 0:11:01.679 comes out that's an outlier that you're like, wait a minute, 0:11:01.679 --> 0:11:02.840 how does Trump all of a sudden, I have a 0:11:02.880 --> 0:11:05.880 thirty eight percent approval rating? Is it fifty two last week? 0:11:05.920 --> 0:11:08.960 And every other pole. This does not strike me as 0:11:08.960 --> 0:11:12.400 an outliner an outlier. Given everything that's happened, it seems 0:11:12.440 --> 0:11:16.320 like a logical point to have progressed too. Yeah, I 0:11:16.360 --> 0:11:18.120 have one more point I want to make about China. 0:11:18.160 --> 0:11:19.720 But if you're driving towards something, go ahead. 0:11:19.840 --> 0:11:20.280 Uh yeah. 0:11:20.320 --> 0:11:24.000 So my thinking is it might be being overstated. Now 0:11:24.080 --> 0:11:27.640 in Brimmer, among other people think that Bebe's doing this 0:11:27.720 --> 0:11:33.520 for political reasons, over emphasizing how close Iran is to 0:11:33.520 --> 0:11:35.560 get in a nuclear repon Bill Clinton, said it on 0:11:35.600 --> 0:11:38.960 The Daily Show Tuesday night, made no news. I didn't 0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:41.240 hear about it till today, So that shows you how 0:11:41.320 --> 0:11:44.000 much people respect Bill Clinton's opinion. 0:11:44.000 --> 0:11:46.040 At this point, I kind of feel like, but. 0:11:48.280 --> 0:11:51.199 My belief is yet it might be overstated. Maybe they 0:11:51.240 --> 0:11:54.160 aren't days away from a nuclear repid, maybe it's longer. 0:11:54.320 --> 0:11:58.880 What difference does it make. Ted Cruise's point to Tucker 0:11:59.400 --> 0:12:03.679 on that contentious interview was there is no disagreement anywhere 0:12:03.720 --> 0:12:06.240 in the world that Iran is trying to get a 0:12:06.320 --> 0:12:08.880 nuclear weapon and going as fast as they can. There's 0:12:08.920 --> 0:12:10.880 never going to be a better time to take that 0:12:11.000 --> 0:12:15.440 program out. So whether they're a week away or six 0:12:15.480 --> 0:12:18.360 months away, since that's their intention and it's only going 0:12:18.400 --> 0:12:20.760 to get harder six months from now, why the hell 0:12:21.160 --> 0:12:21.760 wouldn't you. 0:12:21.880 --> 0:12:25.000 Do it now? That's where I right, Well, we need 0:12:25.040 --> 0:12:27.199 to take a break. And so my point about China, 0:12:27.240 --> 0:12:29.839 which believe it or not, is tied into this, will 0:12:30.160 --> 0:12:35.760 firmly establish my credentials as a cold warrior lunatic. But 0:12:35.840 --> 0:12:38.599 I think it's it's indisputably true, and I'm going to 0:12:38.640 --> 0:12:41.720 tell you though you don't hear it anywhere else. Plus 0:12:42.320 --> 0:12:46.080 to your point, the famous Tulsea Gabbert. Iran is not 0:12:46.240 --> 0:12:51.080 building a nuclear weapon. That was half of her statement 0:12:51.200 --> 0:12:53.280 that day in Marsh. I don't know that we're going 0:12:53.320 --> 0:12:54.600 to play the other half as well. 0:12:54.920 --> 0:12:58.640 The Lakers got sold the most viable sports franchise in 0:12:58.679 --> 0:13:00.200 America or the world. 0:13:01.360 --> 0:13:03.480 Pretty billion bucks, pretty big deal. 0:13:03.520 --> 0:13:05.160 We'll talk a little bit about that, among other things 0:13:05.200 --> 0:13:07.400 on the waist to here. 0:13:09.840 --> 0:13:13.200 Keep in mind, this isn't just one facility. The Iranian 0:13:13.240 --> 0:13:17.000 regime has spread it just proportionately across the country and 0:13:17.160 --> 0:13:22.320 specifically five separate locations, and we know where those locations are. 0:13:22.360 --> 0:13:23.880 We have pretty good intel. 0:13:24.320 --> 0:13:27.280 The Israelis have also shared intel with us, and so 0:13:27.559 --> 0:13:29.600 if there's a reason for us to make sure that 0:13:29.640 --> 0:13:33.200 they can never achieve a nuclear weapon, then that is 0:13:33.240 --> 0:13:35.040 in the United States interest. 0:13:35.960 --> 0:13:41.080 So I've been reading about Israel's many year long effort 0:13:41.240 --> 0:13:46.559 to somehow prevent Iran from getting a nuke, having you know, 0:13:46.840 --> 0:13:50.160 the Iranians having vowed deathed Israel about a zillion times, 0:13:50.960 --> 0:13:56.079 and part of that has been identifying like Mark Wayne Mullen, 0:13:56.120 --> 0:14:00.360 their senator from Oklahoma, is talking about five significant nuclear 0:14:00.360 --> 0:14:03.760 facilities across the country, and is the Israelis have not 0:14:03.800 --> 0:14:08.760 only identified those five facilities, but like all the ancillary facilities, 0:14:08.840 --> 0:14:12.720 the support facilities, that sort of thing. And they've also 0:14:12.760 --> 0:14:16.640 identified who runs them, and who are the project managers, 0:14:16.880 --> 0:14:19.880 and who are the scientists in charge of X, Y 0:14:20.080 --> 0:14:22.960 and Z. That's how some of them have met their 0:14:23.040 --> 0:14:29.880 unfortunate ends recently and years ago. And they've been doing 0:14:29.960 --> 0:14:31.880 this over the course of many, many years, not knowing 0:14:31.960 --> 0:14:35.320 exactly when and how they would use that information. If 0:14:35.360 --> 0:14:39.520 you don't think that's precisely what China is doing right 0:14:39.560 --> 0:14:42.400 now to us, I was going to say, you're a fool, 0:14:42.400 --> 0:14:44.240 but maybe you're just busy with your job and don't 0:14:44.240 --> 0:14:46.680 spend a lot of time thinking about it. So, but 0:14:46.960 --> 0:14:50.960 that is unquestionably what China is doing right now to 0:14:51.000 --> 0:14:54.080 the United States. Why do I care that they collect 0:14:54.080 --> 0:14:57.280 all my data through TikTok and blah blah blah. You know, 0:14:57.360 --> 0:15:00.320 maybe it doesn't matter for you, but they are to 0:15:00.400 --> 0:15:04.840 understand who everybody is, what they do, and how they 0:15:04.840 --> 0:15:10.000 can be exploited for the communist Chinese game mm same 0:15:10.000 --> 0:15:12.240 way the Israelis do. And if the poo ever hits 0:15:12.280 --> 0:15:14.960 the fan, there are gonna be a lot of people 0:15:15.040 --> 0:15:17.240 running around saying Oh my god, Oh my god, how 0:15:17.280 --> 0:15:21.800 did this happen? Jack? I know, go ahead, you're gonna 0:15:21.800 --> 0:15:22.560 make a point. 0:15:22.360 --> 0:15:25.640 When the S hits the fan? Where does that expression 0:15:25.720 --> 0:15:26.280 come from? 0:15:26.880 --> 0:15:27.360 Anybody? 0:15:27.360 --> 0:15:29.640 And know it's a great question. 0:15:29.880 --> 0:15:32.840 I'm gonna ask while you're talking chat GPT and find 0:15:32.840 --> 0:15:33.840 out because I am curious. 0:15:33.880 --> 0:15:37.440 I think Katie may be on the task. Yeah, Katie's 0:15:37.480 --> 0:15:37.760 on it. 0:15:37.960 --> 0:15:39.400 Because I can't say the word, so I got to 0:15:39.400 --> 0:15:41.320 turn off my microphone to say it to chat GPT 0:15:41.680 --> 0:15:44.960 in like you're there in a cattle yard and indoor 0:15:45.160 --> 0:15:51.240 cattle facility, and he got big old fans, exhaust, fans run, 0:15:51.240 --> 0:15:53.120 and sometimes the cows turn their line in. 0:15:54.120 --> 0:15:55.760 I got the answer, Okay. 0:15:55.840 --> 0:15:58.400 When the S hits the fan is a colorful idiom, 0:15:58.520 --> 0:16:02.440 meaning a situation suddenly comes chaotic, problematic, or disastrous. We 0:16:02.520 --> 0:16:05.680 knew that, yes, usually because a hidden issue is exposed 0:16:05.720 --> 0:16:08.680 or something goes terribly wrong. It likely dates back to 0:16:08.720 --> 0:16:11.200 the early twentieth century, first appearing in print around the 0:16:11.280 --> 0:16:16.360 nineteen thirties. UH The literal image feces hitting a spinning 0:16:16.400 --> 0:16:21.880 fan and splattering everywhere because is meant to convey a sudden, 0:16:22.000 --> 0:16:26.120 uncontrollable mess. Once something bad is let loose, with the 0:16:26.120 --> 0:16:28.600 earliest printed version seemed to be from the nineteen thirty 0:16:28.680 --> 0:16:33.040 nine novel Singing the Blues by Hal Dobie, in which 0:16:33.080 --> 0:16:36.320 he uses the phrase then the ess hit the fan. 0:16:37.160 --> 0:16:41.080 That was pretty clever, a little expression. Wow, it caught 0:16:41.080 --> 0:16:43.960 on like Shakespeare invented a lot of expressions we still 0:16:44.040 --> 0:16:47.040 use today. But way to go Harold Dobie. 0:16:47.800 --> 0:16:50.840 Similar phrases all hell broke loose, the wheels came off, 0:16:50.960 --> 0:16:54.120 it blew up in their faces. 0:16:54.400 --> 0:16:57.680 Favorite use of the term in Warren Zevan's Lawyer's Guns 0:16:57.680 --> 0:16:58.200 and Money. 0:16:58.520 --> 0:17:00.320 Yeah yeah, yeah yeah. 0:17:01.000 --> 0:17:04.119 By the way, chat GBT is amazing. It's so much 0:17:04.160 --> 0:17:08.400 better than googling something. If you want an answer. Much 0:17:08.440 --> 0:17:09.920 on the way. If you missed a segment, get the 0:17:09.920 --> 0:17:11.399 podcast Armstrong and Getty. 0:17:11.160 --> 0:17:13.959 On demand Armstrong and Getty. 0:17:15.040 --> 0:17:17.000 I was talking to the lieutenant. I said, I don't 0:17:17.040 --> 0:17:19.560 think in twenty three years, I've ever heard of anybody 0:17:19.600 --> 0:17:23.480 who managed somehow to get married to someone who wasn't 0:17:23.520 --> 0:17:26.560 present for a ceremony. I've talked to the victim and 0:17:26.600 --> 0:17:30.080 he's going through a significant process to try to have 0:17:30.119 --> 0:17:30.600 to fix this. 0:17:30.720 --> 0:17:34.160 At this point, someone who got married to someone who 0:17:34.200 --> 0:17:35.639 wasn't present at the ceremony. 0:17:35.680 --> 0:17:38.240 What does that mean a thirty six year old woman 0:17:38.320 --> 0:17:42.840 is being held on felony stalking charges in any bizarre case, 0:17:44.400 --> 0:17:48.160 she's in jail. Yeah. Where a wedding was held without 0:17:48.200 --> 0:17:51.840 the groom present and without his knowledge, well you can 0:17:52.359 --> 0:17:56.680 call it a wedding. Isn't that like saying I held 0:17:56.680 --> 0:17:59.439 a horse race without a horse being present or the 0:17:59.440 --> 0:17:59.800 horse is. 0:17:59.800 --> 0:18:02.439 Not I had if there was no hearses racing. I 0:18:02.480 --> 0:18:07.360 had a birthday party for somebody that doesn't like me anymore, 0:18:07.400 --> 0:18:11.080 and they weren't there, all right, Well anyway, right, I 0:18:11.080 --> 0:18:13.840 can have a birthday party for somebody seeing happy birthday, 0:18:13.880 --> 0:18:16.040 get a cake, wear a little hat, but if they're 0:18:16.080 --> 0:18:18.439 not there, I'm not sure it makes any difference. 0:18:19.119 --> 0:18:22.240 So the chief of police there in Beverly Hills, Texas, 0:18:22.760 --> 0:18:25.120 said his office was contacted by a forty two year 0:18:25.160 --> 0:18:27.879 old fellow who said he found a package from his 0:18:27.920 --> 0:18:30.320 ex girlfriend at his home, which included a copy of 0:18:30.359 --> 0:18:35.000 a marriage certificate showing that he was married even though 0:18:35.000 --> 0:18:37.440 he didn't marry her and thinks she's a nut job. 0:18:37.600 --> 0:18:40.760 So she did she falsefy his name or something? 0:18:41.280 --> 0:18:44.200 Well, the cop says, at first we were really considering 0:18:44.200 --> 0:18:46.920 that it maybe some forged documents. However, once we made 0:18:46.960 --> 0:18:49.240 contact with the reverend who ended up signing the actual 0:18:49.280 --> 0:18:52.399 ceremonies showing that they were unified, he basically, you know, 0:18:52.520 --> 0:18:55.359 solidified the fact that, yeah, the groom was not present 0:18:55.400 --> 0:18:56.320 when that occurred. 0:18:56.880 --> 0:18:59.440 You know, Joe and I learned this when we were 0:18:59.680 --> 0:19:04.840 we and we've conducted a couple of weddings, been the officiant, 0:19:05.440 --> 0:19:09.680 and we got our minister license online from the church. 0:19:09.720 --> 0:19:11.640 And you look confused there, Kittie. 0:19:12.040 --> 0:19:15.399 We got our minister license online from the Church Universal Life. 0:19:15.600 --> 0:19:17.320 And then so Joe and I were ministers and we 0:19:17.359 --> 0:19:20.399 did a couple of weddings and they were actually married, 0:19:20.480 --> 0:19:23.040 because who officiates your wedding has nothing to do with it. 0:19:23.040 --> 0:19:25.560 It's the wedding license you get at the courthouse and 0:19:25.600 --> 0:19:29.080 people signing off on that. That's what makes you legally married, not. 0:19:29.320 --> 0:19:33.040 And the officiant signs it saying yeah, the two were there. 0:19:33.080 --> 0:19:36.560 They exchallenged these vows. They're doing it willingly. And here's 0:19:36.600 --> 0:19:37.920 their first, middle and last names. 0:19:38.160 --> 0:19:41.440 But the minister or the disc jockeys or whoever who 0:19:41.520 --> 0:19:43.840 say I do I now pronounce you man and wife 0:19:43.920 --> 0:19:45.640 is not the legal thing there. 0:19:47.320 --> 0:19:50.719 Let's see. Chief Martin explained how this situation has been 0:19:50.760 --> 0:19:55.440 a rare occurrence and how they've been handling it. He's 0:19:55.480 --> 0:19:58.040 been going through the Family Code looking at sections on marriage. 0:19:58.040 --> 0:20:00.399 There was only one caveat that I could locate, which was, 0:20:00.440 --> 0:20:04.679 you know, active military overseas. Unable to make it, you 0:20:04.760 --> 0:20:07.679 still had to have a proxy stand in, and that 0:20:07.800 --> 0:20:09.960 also has to be part of all the licensing stuff 0:20:10.040 --> 0:20:12.040 is part of the stuff there. So the groom should 0:20:12.040 --> 0:20:16.000 have been there. A proxy wouldn't have worked without that caveat. 0:20:16.040 --> 0:20:19.360 So anyway, the minister ought to lose his fake internet license. 0:20:19.359 --> 0:20:23.880 I'll tell you that anyway. 0:20:25.760 --> 0:20:27.280 She's a full on nut job. 0:20:27.840 --> 0:20:31.280 Oh yeah, yeah, she's yeah, absolutely full Florida. 0:20:32.040 --> 0:20:33.840 How did you think this was gonna work? Lady? 0:20:34.320 --> 0:20:36.320
