WEBVTT - Send the Dullards on a Long Quest 0:00:02.920 --> 0:00:07.240 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:07.280 --> 0:00:11.360 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe, Getty. 0:00:11.240 --> 0:00:18.640 Arm Strong and Jetty and no He Armstrong and Getty. 0:00:25.760 --> 0:00:26.400 Hoy, y'all doing. 0:00:27.280 --> 0:00:28.560 I want to talk about The Odyssey. 0:00:28.600 --> 0:00:32.400 It's just some stuff I've come across a reading reviews 0:00:32.440 --> 0:00:36.080 and like from actual critics and then people who went 0:00:36.120 --> 0:00:38.920 to the movie. Most people have blown away visually, but 0:00:39.240 --> 0:00:41.839 it's the first major film film that all imax. I'm 0:00:41.880 --> 0:00:44.920 going this week. I can't wait to see wait to 0:00:44.920 --> 0:00:45.279 see it. 0:00:45.920 --> 0:00:49.720 Have you heard how it translates to non IMAX screens? No? 0:00:49.960 --> 0:00:50.360 I have not. 0:00:50.880 --> 0:00:54.800 I'm sure it's still fantastic visually. Yeah. 0:00:55.200 --> 0:00:57.440 I mean, he definitely filmed it with the idea that 0:00:57.480 --> 0:00:59.600 you should see it in on the IMAX format. That's 0:00:59.760 --> 0:01:02.000 the point of the way he made it and spend 0:01:02.000 --> 0:01:03.680 a lot of money on it being that way. 0:01:03.760 --> 0:01:05.160 I don't know how I'm gonna watch it on my 0:01:05.240 --> 0:01:06.840 phone then criticize it bitterly. 0:01:07.040 --> 0:01:10.280 I've watched a lot of movies on my phone, which 0:01:10.319 --> 0:01:13.399 is really cruel to do to the director. 0:01:17.120 --> 0:01:19.959 I don't care. I just I don't think about the 0:01:20.000 --> 0:01:21.680 politics of movies. I just don't. 0:01:21.720 --> 0:01:24.640 It's not something that crosses my mind, but if it does, 0:01:25.200 --> 0:01:28.679 David Frenchen and other conservative pundits have made the argument 0:01:28.720 --> 0:01:31.040 that it's one of the most conservative movies made in 0:01:31.240 --> 0:01:33.760 years in terms of a message if you care about 0:01:33.760 --> 0:01:35.839 that sort of thing. I don't really think about those things. 0:01:35.840 --> 0:01:37.600 So somebody would have to ask me, and then I 0:01:37.600 --> 0:01:39.200 would have to think about it to come up with 0:01:39.280 --> 0:01:42.360 a was the message from this movie this or that? 0:01:42.800 --> 0:01:43.120 I don't know. 0:01:43.160 --> 0:01:44.560 I guess I just don't go to the movies for 0:01:44.640 --> 0:01:49.200 those reasons or something. But we'll talk more about that later. 0:01:49.280 --> 0:01:50.720 And then I'm going this week and I can't wait. 0:01:50.720 --> 0:01:55.040 Tickets are kind of expensive. I and then you got 0:01:55.040 --> 0:01:57.680 the giant popcorn thing that's like one hundred and fifty bucks. 0:01:57.800 --> 0:02:00.440 So yeah, the souvenir popcorn. 0:02:00.760 --> 0:02:05.680 A bold, the giant Paragian horse popcorn thing sounds kind 0:02:05.720 --> 0:02:08.640 of cool. When you say pretty expensive, what are we 0:02:08.639 --> 0:02:11.440 talking about? Twenty five apiece? So fifty bucks? I mean, 0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:16.680 you know, regular movies are like fifteen apiece, I think. So, 0:02:18.600 --> 0:02:19.679 here's a dumb guy. 0:02:21.160 --> 0:02:24.840 Standing on a street corner, college kid being asked to 0:02:24.880 --> 0:02:27.079 do a first first a dumb guy than a smart guy. 0:02:28.080 --> 0:02:32.600 Both of them are fans of socialism. One of them, Well, 0:02:32.600 --> 0:02:34.640 they're both dangerous. I guess depending on how you look 0:02:34.680 --> 0:02:37.359 at it. Here is like a college kid on the 0:02:37.400 --> 0:02:40.320 street pitching you on socialism. 0:02:41.200 --> 0:02:44.040 I know, I saw statistic amazing for you, guys, more 0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:48.880 than half of young Americans now prefer socialism over capitalism. 0:02:49.040 --> 0:02:50.360 So if you can look into the camera and give 0:02:50.400 --> 0:02:53.440 a thirty second elevator pitch on why socialism is better 0:02:53.480 --> 0:02:54.320 than capitalism. 0:02:54.880 --> 0:02:55.480 Community. 0:02:56.000 --> 0:02:58.440 Are you tired of sitting alone, being by yourself and 0:02:58.480 --> 0:03:01.840 having no one to talk to you. It's all about community. 0:03:01.840 --> 0:03:04.320 It's about laras sitting down and having coffee of random 0:03:04.360 --> 0:03:06.840 stranger and talking to them, talking about the game. Hell, 0:03:07.040 --> 0:03:09.600 I have hugged more strangers than this past summer because 0:03:09.600 --> 0:03:12.040 of the next game, because of the World Cup. Because 0:03:12.040 --> 0:03:15.120 socialism works is the watch parties at a zorround hosts. 0:03:15.120 --> 0:03:16.919 It's about the parties that we allow. 0:03:17.240 --> 0:03:20.240 You don't have cops hoogging every single site and saying, oh, 0:03:20.280 --> 0:03:22.400 you can't be here because there's too many people, instead 0:03:22.400 --> 0:03:25.120 of allowing people just being in their nature a natural 0:03:25.160 --> 0:03:27.960 element of talking each other to bond over things we 0:03:28.040 --> 0:03:30.880 love and share. So that what socialism is it ain't 0:03:30.919 --> 0:03:31.480 scary word. 0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:32.120 It ain't me. 0:03:32.240 --> 0:03:34.280 Taking your house is about me making sure your house 0:03:34.360 --> 0:03:37.480 remains in your hands and some million doesn't take it 0:03:37.480 --> 0:03:37.760 from you. 0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:43.840 That's it. How do you argue with that? Hmm, that's 0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:44.880 a child? 0:03:45.080 --> 0:03:46.040 How do you argue with that? 0:03:46.160 --> 0:03:50.560 So if he hears the candidate is a DSA candidate 0:03:50.680 --> 0:03:53.200 Democratic Socialist of America, he's going to vote yes because 0:03:53.200 --> 0:03:54.720 of all the things he just said. 0:03:54.720 --> 0:03:57.360 How do you how do you argue out of that position? Boy? 0:03:57.480 --> 0:04:00.400 That rings so beautifully though, with that piece I brought 0:04:00.440 --> 0:04:02.720 you last week about the young woman from the Wall 0:04:02.720 --> 0:04:06.360 Street Journal who went to all sorts of DSA events 0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:11.640 and said, it's all about community and contact and having 0:04:11.760 --> 0:04:16.359 fun together because all the youngsters are so lonely. But 0:04:16.480 --> 0:04:20.119 they're using that loneliness to sell them on a totalitarian 0:04:20.200 --> 0:04:25.440 form of government, which is clever and insidious. I mean 0:04:25.480 --> 0:04:27.960 to have the two thirds of what he talked about 0:04:28.160 --> 0:04:30.200 has nothing whatsoever. 0:04:29.720 --> 0:04:31.159 To do with social I don't want to be a 0:04:31.160 --> 0:04:34.480 buzz soccer viewer parties. I don't want to be a buzzkill. 0:04:34.720 --> 0:04:41.599 But socialism is not getting together with your friends watching 0:04:41.640 --> 0:04:44.120 the Knicks game. That's not socialism. 0:04:45.920 --> 0:04:50.000 The word social is in there, But don't be confused, Jenny. 0:04:49.760 --> 0:04:50.800 They're not even close. 0:04:51.640 --> 0:04:54.560 Now here's a guy I don't know as much about this, 0:04:54.680 --> 0:04:55.760 Hassan piker dude. 0:04:55.880 --> 0:04:58.919 I keep hearing his name. What is he? He's an 0:04:58.960 --> 0:05:04.480 influencer podcaster, Yeah, podcaster, influencer, one of the star talking 0:05:04.520 --> 0:05:06.560 heads in the long left, the young left. 0:05:06.640 --> 0:05:09.440 Rather, maybe I should take in some of his stuff 0:05:09.440 --> 0:05:12.280 because his name keeps popping up and young people seem 0:05:12.360 --> 0:05:16.600 to listen to him a lot. Here's him talking up 0:05:16.920 --> 0:05:17.560 Chairman Mile. 0:05:18.520 --> 0:05:20.240 I got stopped by a cop who thought it was 0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:22.880 like making fun of mause Dong, which I never would 0:05:23.600 --> 0:05:27.839 and never will. Malse Dong is a is a one 0:05:27.839 --> 0:05:31.880 of the great leaders of this world. Okay, a man 0:05:31.920 --> 0:05:38.600 who changed the entire universe, the entire planet. 0:05:39.120 --> 0:05:42.560 All right, Wow, come for the evil, stay for the 0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:44.000 What the hell are you talking about? 0:05:46.800 --> 0:05:48.480 So he knows what he's doing though, right? 0:05:48.560 --> 0:05:51.719 That first numb nut we heard from who's talking about 0:05:51.800 --> 0:05:54.120 Nick's parties being socialism just is. 0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:57.839 A Yeah, he's a numbskull. 0:05:58.160 --> 0:06:00.920 He's a numbskull, although his vote count as much as yours. 0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:04.200 This a soundpiker guy knows exactly what he's doing. He 0:06:04.279 --> 0:06:06.240 just wants to upend the system. 0:06:07.080 --> 0:06:10.600 Yeah, he's a Marxist. But you can look at now, 0:06:10.760 --> 0:06:14.000 say dong though, and say that went well. I mean 0:06:14.000 --> 0:06:17.960 you've got to seriously, seriously be delusional. 0:06:19.560 --> 0:06:22.640 Yeah, I don't know how you get there people starving 0:06:22.680 --> 0:06:25.000 to death because you're collectivized farming. 0:06:26.160 --> 0:06:29.000 Right. I think that the difference between a guy like 0:06:29.040 --> 0:06:30.560 me and a guy like him is I can tell 0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:33.160 you what Trump's done right and wrong, in my opinion, 0:06:33.440 --> 0:06:36.720 I can do the same for Ronald Reagan or you know, 0:06:37.040 --> 0:06:41.880 Margaret Thatcher or whatever else. I don't have a religious 0:06:44.160 --> 0:06:48.000 calling like these people do. That they will tell you 0:06:48.120 --> 0:06:50.919 in a candid moment. Yes, we will absolutely lie to 0:06:50.960 --> 0:06:55.520 promote Marxism because it's that important. We can't let your 0:06:55.600 --> 0:07:00.120 petty bourgeois notions of truth and honestly and dishonest he 0:07:00.360 --> 0:07:03.320 getting the way of bringing about the revolution. You think, 0:07:03.839 --> 0:07:07.919 you know, the founding, the founding oppressors of this country 0:07:07.920 --> 0:07:11.160 didn't lie occasionally. You're a fool, he would say. 0:07:11.200 --> 0:07:14.200 Probably. Well, none of the people you mentioned, you can 0:07:14.240 --> 0:07:20.520 point out their mistakes include seventy million people dying. Sure, 0:07:20.600 --> 0:07:23.800 that's a that's a heck of a mistake. Too big 0:07:24.160 --> 0:07:25.480 an admission to make. 0:07:25.600 --> 0:07:27.360 Huh wow. 0:07:28.040 --> 0:07:29.040 All right, So. 0:07:29.240 --> 0:07:34.000 Bill Maher is an old school Democrat. Nobody hated George W. 0:07:34.080 --> 0:07:37.080 Bush more than Bill Maher or Reagan or I've been 0:07:37.160 --> 0:07:39.160 following Bill Maher for many, many years, going back to 0:07:39.240 --> 0:07:43.720 the seventies. Actually he is a Democrat. He does not 0:07:43.920 --> 0:07:46.640 like conservatives, but he doesn't like the wackatoos that are 0:07:46.640 --> 0:07:48.800 taking over his party. Hears him doing an interview over 0:07:48.800 --> 0:07:49.240 the weekend. 0:07:49.560 --> 0:07:52.760 I mean, you get some Democrats marats are cowardly. Yeah, 0:07:52.800 --> 0:07:56.800 they're cowardly. Their party is being taken over now by 0:07:57.240 --> 0:07:59.360 you know, every day I hear about a new very 0:07:59.680 --> 0:08:04.960 radical I feel very good about like ten whenever years ago, 0:08:05.200 --> 0:08:09.480 like I did lose fans because you know, I wasn't 0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:12.760 going to go along with some of this crazy stuff 0:08:12.760 --> 0:08:15.480 on the left too. I didn't change really on what 0:08:15.560 --> 0:08:18.240 I thought about the right. But just I can't sit 0:08:18.520 --> 0:08:21.480 and just not notice stuff which people seem to want 0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:23.840 to do because it's all about my team or your team. 0:08:24.720 --> 0:08:27.080 But yeah, there's some crazy stuff, you know, when we're 0:08:27.160 --> 0:08:31.400 cheering for the Intavada, I got I'm out. The talking 0:08:31.440 --> 0:08:34.400 point is that it's not communism and socialism. Okay, I've 0:08:34.440 --> 0:08:41.079 read the quotes from the DSA platform from their own mouths. 0:08:41.160 --> 0:08:42.880 Don't tell me I'm not seeing what. 0:08:42.840 --> 0:08:51.559 I am seeing. He's in such a minority though his 0:08:51.600 --> 0:08:54.959 first point about the Democratic Party is cowardly. They're being 0:08:55.040 --> 0:08:59.480 taken over and they're not saying anything. I'm definitely getting 0:08:59.640 --> 0:09:04.360 hints that people are waking up and realizing, hey, we're 0:09:05.679 --> 0:09:09.560 we haven't infused our party with somewhat wacky but energetic, 0:09:09.640 --> 0:09:13.320 young lefty youngsters, and we'll bring them around now. They're 0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:16.559 serious and they're winning the game. Well, it has We'll 0:09:16.600 --> 0:09:18.720 see what the mainstream Democrats do in response. 0:09:18.800 --> 0:09:21.040 It hasn't made it to mainstream media either. The first 0:09:21.080 --> 0:09:25.480 time I see George Stephanopolis or what's your name and 0:09:25.559 --> 0:09:27.920 face the Nation, or Margaret Brennan. If I see them 0:09:27.960 --> 0:09:30.840 talk to one of these DSA candidates and say, so, 0:09:31.000 --> 0:09:35.640 your platform says you want to replace the constitution and 0:09:35.720 --> 0:09:39.880 do away with capitalism. Do you stand by that? First 0:09:39.880 --> 0:09:43.199 time I see him ask that question, I'll believe they've 0:09:43.240 --> 0:09:45.839 switched to Bill Maher's side, that we're not going to 0:09:45.880 --> 0:09:47.520 go along with this, We're going to call these people out. 0:09:47.559 --> 0:09:49.680 But so far, they're not calling them out at all. 0:09:50.280 --> 0:09:53.000 Now I'm talking about green shoots, as they say, I'm 0:09:53.040 --> 0:09:55.920 seeing green shoots, but whether that grows up in flowers 0:09:55.960 --> 0:09:57.679 into a all right, we got to hold on to 0:09:57.760 --> 0:10:01.040 our party in the face of these lunatics. Who knows 0:10:01.240 --> 0:10:03.360 these people just want power and if they think, you know, 0:10:03.440 --> 0:10:07.560 we could get power by harnessing that energy, Ellie use it. Yeah, 0:10:07.679 --> 0:10:11.760 so crazy, Oh yeah, because those will be the first 0:10:11.800 --> 0:10:14.720 people up against the wall when the revolution comes. One 0:10:14.760 --> 0:10:15.360 hundred percent. 0:10:16.600 --> 0:10:18.440 I hope you're right. I hope this is growing. 0:10:18.480 --> 0:10:20.640 And by the time we get to election day in November, 0:10:20.800 --> 0:10:24.640 all these DSA candidates have been shocked to find out 0:10:24.960 --> 0:10:28.440 that they went on ABC, talk to the New York Times, whatever, 0:10:28.480 --> 0:10:30.880 and started getting asked hard questions about. 0:10:30.760 --> 0:10:33.400 You really believe capitalism is a bad idea. 0:10:32.960 --> 0:10:35.319 You really believe the Constitution needs to go, You need 0:10:35.360 --> 0:10:37.600 to You really believe we need to get away, get 0:10:37.720 --> 0:10:41.959 rid of the Senate, for instance, to release everybody from 0:10:42.000 --> 0:10:44.760 the prisons and not have course anymore. Why didn't I 0:10:44.760 --> 0:10:47.480 start there? That's the best wide open border. Don't even 0:10:47.480 --> 0:10:49.560 get to that other complicated stuff. You really believe we 0:10:49.559 --> 0:10:53.800 shouldn't have prisons or police make am answer that question. Yeah, 0:10:53.880 --> 0:10:56.160 hopefully that like takes off. I mean, we're in the 0:10:56.200 --> 0:10:58.200 doldrums of summer by the time that we get to 0:10:58.240 --> 0:11:00.360 November and voting. I hope they've all had to answer 0:11:00.360 --> 0:11:01.040 that question. 0:11:00.880 --> 0:11:02.760 Because that's a bit. We're not making this up. 0:11:02.760 --> 0:11:05.520 It's on their website, the DSA website. 0:11:05.559 --> 0:11:07.520 All these candidates that are winning these elections to. 0:11:07.520 --> 0:11:10.559 Hear about their website says that's their platform. 0:11:11.320 --> 0:11:14.520 My life's been one big doldrum since about twenty sixteen. 0:11:15.000 --> 0:11:21.679 So anyway, one never ending doldrum, boy, doldrum.

So the thing 0:12:38.960 --> 0:12:41.200 about soccer, which is a game I love? Or do 0:12:41.240 --> 0:12:45.200 you call it football like Tom Cruise? That was interesting anyway? 0:12:45.679 --> 0:12:45.880 Oh? 0:12:46.960 --> 0:12:54.000 Is that? And I've defended soccer from Charlattan's just jackasses. 0:12:54.400 --> 0:12:58.800 I've been mocking soccer forever, criticizing it for the lack 0:12:58.840 --> 0:13:03.800 of scoring. Correct, because every goal is so impactful getting 0:13:04.080 --> 0:13:07.080 closee goal in one hundred and twenty five minutes. I 0:13:07.160 --> 0:13:10.280 will get there. I will get there. Every goal is 0:13:10.320 --> 0:13:13.320 so impactful, getting close, setting it up, crossing a ball, 0:13:13.440 --> 0:13:18.120 having a chance is incredibly exciting. And each goal matters 0:13:18.200 --> 0:13:22.160 a lot. So when a goal is scored, it's just pandemonium. Right. Well, 0:13:22.240 --> 0:13:24.839 the problem is in the World Cup final, it's a 0:13:24.880 --> 0:13:28.520 one and done thing. Both play, both teams play, like 0:13:28.559 --> 0:13:30.880 I said before, like those bike races in the Olympics 0:13:30.880 --> 0:13:33.520 where everybody goes real slow and just are watching each other. 0:13:33.600 --> 0:13:37.560 Is anybody gonna start? They are real slow, just crazy, crazy, 0:13:37.720 --> 0:13:40.160 cautious until right again. 0:13:40.280 --> 0:13:43.120 They try real hard, but it makes for dull viewing. 0:13:43.280 --> 0:13:48.520 As an alternative, I give you playoff hockey, which is intense, 0:13:48.760 --> 0:13:51.800 end to end action from the moment the puck drops. 0:13:52.200 --> 0:13:53.800 It's feverish action. 0:13:53.880 --> 0:13:57.520 It's fantastic and often a little higher scoring than the 0:13:57.520 --> 0:14:00.720 regular season because they try so hard. That's my one 0:14:00.760 --> 0:14:06.080 criticism of soccer. They've got to play so conservatively. Yeah, 0:14:06.160 --> 0:14:09.240 I got into it this year. I actually enjoyed the yesterday. 0:14:09.240 --> 0:14:11.360 I found it very exciting, even though it was one nothing, 0:14:11.480 --> 0:14:14.920 so hey, you gotta have the you get fifteen seconds 0:14:14.960 --> 0:14:17.800 to bring it over to the center line role shot clock. 0:14:18.600 --> 0:14:21.560 Do it see? You can't just go four corners kicking 0:14:21.600 --> 0:14:24.120 it around. No, you can't play keep away for forty 0:14:24.160 --> 0:14:26.239 five minutes. It's Dullsville, Daddy. 0:14:26.000 --> 0:14:29.000 Okay more all the ways there. 0:14:39.760 --> 0:14:43.120 So the Odyssey made a lot of money over the weekend, 0:14:43.160 --> 0:14:47.280 almost three hundred million dollars worldwide. And it's a very 0:14:47.280 --> 0:14:49.720 famous director and it's got big stars in it, so 0:14:51.200 --> 0:14:54.760 it's got the whole I'm filmed that Imax than that 0:14:54.920 --> 0:14:59.040 is unique. So I don't know what's drawing people to it. 0:14:59.040 --> 0:15:02.720 The fact that it's a three thousand year old I 0:15:02.800 --> 0:15:06.000 like when people say thirty centuries. That makes it makes 0:15:06.040 --> 0:15:09.080 it under It's easy to throw out three thousand years, 0:15:10.760 --> 0:15:13.200 you're right, but you say thirty centuries and you really 0:15:13.240 --> 0:15:14.800 realize how long that is. 0:15:15.080 --> 0:15:17.040 I'm doing the math and it checks out. 0:15:17.360 --> 0:15:22.600 That's stunning, how long ago that is and why it's 0:15:22.640 --> 0:15:27.640 still the story. And I like the people that are 0:15:27.680 --> 0:15:29.640 making the point that it stands up for the Western 0:15:29.720 --> 0:15:32.000 canon to a certain extent, the fact that this is 0:15:32.040 --> 0:15:37.160 being redone as a movie since the Western canon has 0:15:37.200 --> 0:15:41.640 been under attack by the Marxist crowd in academics for 0:15:41.680 --> 0:15:45.040 so long they hate it's anything that's Western civilization. I mean, 0:15:45.040 --> 0:15:49.880 this is like core Western civilization stuff. David French tweeted 0:15:49.920 --> 0:15:52.920 out over the weekend. He said, I just watched The Odyssey. Glorious, incredible, 0:15:53.160 --> 0:15:55.160 so much to unpack. I'll be thinking about it for days. 0:15:55.160 --> 0:15:57.400 But if I had to sum up the native narrative 0:15:57.480 --> 0:15:59.560 arc in one sentence, it would be this, heedless people, 0:15:59.600 --> 0:16:00.440 you will pay. 0:16:00.160 --> 0:16:01.080 For what you've destroyed. 0:16:01.560 --> 0:16:04.400 Another a conservative commentator I like, said I haven't seen it, 0:16:04.440 --> 0:16:08.760 but my favorite comment should be is that the Golden 0:16:08.840 --> 0:16:11.160 Rule is real, and you better believe it. Seems to 0:16:11.160 --> 0:16:15.240 be the story of the whole movie. I've never read 0:16:15.240 --> 0:16:17.160 the Odyssey. I'm somewhat embarrassed by that. 0:16:19.360 --> 0:16:21.400 I don't think there are half a percent of the 0:16:21.480 --> 0:16:24.560 people gathered here at this moment who've read The Odyssey. 0:16:25.040 --> 0:16:25.720 Charles CD B. 0:16:25.880 --> 0:16:29.880 Cook said the anti Odyssey crusade by some no more 0:16:30.120 --> 0:16:33.960 constitutes movie criticisms criticism than last summer's freak out over 0:16:34.160 --> 0:16:36.000 Sidney Sweeney's denim commercial. 0:16:36.760 --> 0:16:38.200 And he really liked it. 0:16:39.240 --> 0:16:41.000 There is the whole It's not as good as the 0:16:41.040 --> 0:16:44.760 book crowd, which you've always railed against. Anybody who says that. 0:16:44.800 --> 0:16:47.240 I've said it many times in my life. And sometimes 0:16:47.280 --> 0:16:48.640 I see a movie and it's not as good as 0:16:48.680 --> 0:16:49.680 the book and it bothers me. 0:16:49.760 --> 0:16:52.200 But you can't. 0:16:52.240 --> 0:16:55.560 There are certain things you can't do in a movie 0:16:55.560 --> 0:16:56.480 that you can do in a book. 0:16:56.480 --> 0:16:57.320 It's just a fact. 0:16:57.560 --> 0:16:58.000 As reading. 0:16:58.120 --> 0:17:00.520 Our friend Tim Sanderfer really didn't like the stuff that 0:17:00.600 --> 0:17:01.880 was left out of the movie. 0:17:02.080 --> 0:17:04.040 But it sounds to me like stuff that you couldn't 0:17:04.080 --> 0:17:07.320 put in a movie. It'd be impossible. I can't remember 0:17:07.320 --> 0:17:10.800 whether it was Chris Columbus or I'm bet at Directors, 0:17:11.720 --> 0:17:13.399 one of the guys who directed some of the Harry 0:17:13.400 --> 0:17:16.680 Potter movies was responding, this is early on in that series, 0:17:17.320 --> 0:17:19.359 to the criticism that there's so much not in the book, 0:17:19.359 --> 0:17:23.119 and he said, if I were to dramatize the book 0:17:23.359 --> 0:17:26.960 on the screen, this movie would be thirty seven hours long, 0:17:27.480 --> 0:17:30.400 something to that effect, because there's just so much more 0:17:30.600 --> 0:17:31.560 volume in a. 0:17:31.600 --> 0:17:33.320 Right, right. 0:17:34.080 --> 0:17:37.800 Yeah, So from that standpoint, it's always an interesting criticism. 0:17:38.000 --> 0:17:40.680 If you haven't I think it's an eight hundred page 0:17:40.680 --> 0:17:43.560 book to read the Odyssey, Well, how long did it 0:17:43.600 --> 0:17:45.639 take you to read that? And then you expect that 0:17:45.680 --> 0:17:48.680 to be not leave anything out, even in a three 0:17:48.680 --> 0:17:52.080 hour movie. Well, right, if it took you forty hours 0:17:52.080 --> 0:17:55.320 to read it, obviously it doesn't quite make sense, right. 0:17:55.359 --> 0:17:56.560 I can't wait to see it now. I we'll talk 0:17:56.560 --> 0:17:58.520 about it when I do. But if it's if it's 0:17:58.560 --> 0:17:59.960 the Golden Rule, come to the screen. 0:18:00.000 --> 0:18:02.920 I like the idea of that. Looking forward to that myself. 0:18:03.400 --> 0:18:06.679 Some more blows to land accounts against socialism, and it's 0:18:06.760 --> 0:18:08.639 time we all started doing it, because man, it is 0:18:08.680 --> 0:18:10.520 coming on like a freight train. Stay with us. 0:18:11.080 --> 0:18:17.600 And video circulating online appearing to show projectiles falling over 0:18:17.640 --> 0:18:21.600 the base, some intercepted, but others making a direct hit. 0:18:21.960 --> 0:18:24.640 Sources telling us one of those strikes hit a housing 0:18:24.720 --> 0:18:31.000 containment unit, raising questions among some military experts about Iran's capabilities, 0:18:31.280 --> 0:18:35.520 despite the administration saying the Iranian military was decimated. 0:18:35.920 --> 0:18:37.639 That's smart the rat it's reporting. 0:18:37.920 --> 0:18:40.760 Yesterday we struck around for the ninth night in a row, 0:18:40.800 --> 0:18:44.280 but they were striking back at all kinds of different stuff. 0:18:44.640 --> 0:18:48.840 Some of our military bases. We had three killed over 0:18:48.880 --> 0:18:51.240 the weekend, including they just released the name of one 0:18:51.280 --> 0:18:57.560 Private Isabella Gonzalez, nineteen year old girl from Carlton, Texas man. 0:18:58.000 --> 0:19:03.800 Small towns keep our military going. Yeah, I cannot sate them. 0:19:03.840 --> 0:19:06.720 Oh yeah, I came across some analysis that was talking 0:19:06.720 --> 0:19:09.520 about how Iran has actually uped its game missile wise, 0:19:09.520 --> 0:19:12.760 and their missiles seem more capable and sophisticated than they 0:19:12.800 --> 0:19:15.120 did even in recent memory. 0:19:14.960 --> 0:19:17.680 And where we're getting help from and their targeting is better, 0:19:17.760 --> 0:19:19.879 And yeah, that's why the reporting over the weekend was 0:19:19.920 --> 0:19:22.359 they it looks like they might be getting help from 0:19:22.480 --> 0:19:26.320 China and Russia. I don't know how we handle that. 0:19:27.240 --> 0:19:29.080 That's a pretty big deal for China and Russia to 0:19:29.080 --> 0:19:30.640 help Iran kill US soldiers. 0:19:32.320 --> 0:19:34.520 Martha Raddos goes on This. 0:19:34.640 --> 0:19:37.720 Nearly five month long war, which began with the US 0:19:37.720 --> 0:19:41.600 and Israel launching strikes on Iran, appears to have once 0:19:41.680 --> 0:19:44.800 again brought traffic through the critical Straight of Horror Moves 0:19:45.000 --> 0:19:49.240 to a crawl. Market data shows only eight vessels navigated 0:19:49.280 --> 0:19:52.960 the Straight on Friday, although Energy Secretary Chris Wright is 0:19:53.000 --> 0:19:57.119 disputing that almost all the public data I've seen is incorrect. 0:19:57.560 --> 0:20:00.000 There's flow through two routes through the Straight of horm Moves. 0:20:00.320 --> 0:20:03.840 The renewed finding spiking the cost of oil and gas 0:20:04.119 --> 0:20:06.840 a gallon of gas now four dollars. 0:20:08.880 --> 0:20:12.720 So Trump declared the Straight open. Remember that week and 0:20:12.760 --> 0:20:15.280 a half or so go. It ain't open. It's a 0:20:15.280 --> 0:20:18.159 long way from open. N Bremer made the point, and 0:20:18.200 --> 0:20:18.960 I think he's right. 0:20:19.280 --> 0:20:19.720 We can. 0:20:19.960 --> 0:20:23.560 We have the ability to blockade the Straight, which hurts. 0:20:23.560 --> 0:20:27.000 I ran, well, we don't have the ability to open 0:20:27.040 --> 0:20:30.840 the Straight, So we can blockade it and keep it closed, 0:20:32.400 --> 0:20:34.600 you know, basically blockading their blockade. 0:20:35.320 --> 0:20:36.320 But we can't open it. 0:20:37.720 --> 0:20:40.760 Not in the short term. No, it would take a 0:20:40.800 --> 0:20:44.879 war war effort to do that. It's not a task. 0:20:45.080 --> 0:20:47.439 It's part of the great task. 0:20:48.320 --> 0:20:51.119 We'll get to our capabilities. Eclient task we should do. 0:20:51.160 --> 0:20:52.080 I should say, we'll. 0:20:51.920 --> 0:20:54.680 Get to the capabilities we've got. According to the Washington Post, 0:20:54.760 --> 0:20:56.760 in just a minute. But like right at this moment, 0:20:57.840 --> 0:21:02.360 air raid sirens are going off Bahrain because Iran it's 0:21:02.359 --> 0:21:08.600 firing missiles into Bahrain. The speaking of navigation of the seas, 0:21:09.400 --> 0:21:13.600 this is new news too. The Iranian backed Houthy terrorist 0:21:13.600 --> 0:21:17.280 group in Yemen Remember Them, has announced a total ban 0:21:17.560 --> 0:21:20.800 on maritime navigation by Saudi Arabia under the principle of 0:21:21.320 --> 0:21:25.120 a blockade for a blockade, citing their full writ industries 0:21:25.359 --> 0:21:28.400
