Deep U from 7 00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:38,319 Speaker 1: the bowels of the Armstrong and Getting Communications compound, And hey, 8 00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:47,000 Speaker 1: yar bowels, our bowels?

Oh great Scott? Oh by hey, we are 11 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:57,520 Speaker 1: toiling under the title of the show. 12 00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:01,200 Speaker 4: Standalone title today Jack, Because according one of the great 13 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:06,640 Speaker 4: political philosophers of our generation, Marvin Lee, a day baby, we. 14 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,440 Speaker 1: Can talk all night, but that ain't getting us nowhere. 15 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:13,440 Speaker 1: Oh wow, the great meet low Meat Loaf and his 16 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:19,600 Speaker 1: philosophy of negotiation. I think Loaf and his lover had 17 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 1: a better chance of settling the differences than Donald j 18 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:27,959 Speaker 1: and the IRGC. But talk they will, apparently, maybe sort of. Man, 19 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,960 Speaker 1: if anybody's ever been in has anybody ever not been 20 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,560 Speaker 1: in that position? The relationship thing, not the straight up 21 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 1: herd the moves saying this. Maybe we could talk all night, 22 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,200 Speaker 1: but that ain't getting us nowhere. Just keep going round 23 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,080 Speaker 1: and round and yet an impass and this is not 24 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,640 Speaker 1: gonna happen. Oh man, that's horrible. And perhaps JD Vance, 25 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,440 Speaker 1: with his list of demands, will recognize that two out 26 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 1: of three ain't bad. If the negotiations go well, the 27 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 1: snow is really piling aboutside, he might just start singing. 28 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 1: I certainly hope, so, I hope there's footage. I was 29 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 1: just listened to a think tank guy explaining how there's 30 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 1: different divisions within the Republican National Guard that speaking them 31 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 1: as one unit is a mistake. There are different power 32 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 1: centers within that thing that are speaking. I thought, okay, 33 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 1: I clearly have no idea what's going on, so I 34 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,079 Speaker 1: should probably stop even talking about it. 35 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:29,119 Speaker 4: If you were trying to have to be more complicated 36 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 4: than buying a car, if you were trying to buy 37 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:36,080 Speaker 4: a business and you were dealing with that situation, you 38 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:40,519 Speaker 4: had like three co equal vice presidents, and each one 39 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 4: would come to a. 40 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,960 Speaker 1: Deal with you, then the other one say oh no, no, no, no, 41 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 1: we're not selling any of that business. 42 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:46,400 Speaker 3: You'd be like, what the hell? 43 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:47,359 Speaker 1: All right, let's try again. 44 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 4: You talk to a couple of you'd finally decide that 45 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:51,800 Speaker 4: this is insane. We can't go forward. 46 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:53,839 Speaker 1: Yeah, if you're just talking about deal making, I mean, 47 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:55,960 Speaker 1: I've never been in sales. I'm sure we have plenty 48 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 1: of salespeople listening who you try to recognize who the 49 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 1: decision make is. If you got you know, a couple 50 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 1: or whatever you want to buy a house or a car, 51 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,080 Speaker 1: and if you had to say a throuttle come in 52 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 1: and you realize there's no agreement on who's making the 53 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,640 Speaker 1: decision here, you'd probably decide, well, it's not gonna waste 54 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:16,800 Speaker 1: my time, right, all right. 55 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 4: I've actually known companies that won't come to your house 56 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 4: to present to their goods unless both the husband and 57 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 4: wife are there because they've gone through it so many 58 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 4: times that well that's great, I really love it. But 59 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 4: I got to check with my spouse and they're like, oh, Gord, 60 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:29,240 Speaker 4: dang it. 61 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 1: Yeah. You know, I wonder if you're ever trying to 62 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 1: sell a car to a throuble or a quinin tuffle 63 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 1: in the case of Iran, I mean, how many power 64 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 1: centers are there? Please, and usually with a throttle. They're 65 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 1: not willing to kill each other if they don't like 66 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 1: the way the you know, the deal came together for 67 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 1: buying the washing machine. And of course the deadline is tomorrow, 68 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 1: and perhaps we're going to obliterate a civilization or something, 69 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 1: so we'll talk more about that later. We have a 70 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 1: new leader for Apple that was announced yesterday. I hope 71 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 1: he's more inspiring than the last one. I always found 72 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 1: Tim Cook such a wet rag after one of the 73 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 1: most you know, charismatic, you know, exciting business leaders in 74 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 1: the history of the world, to be followed by an 75 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:19,040 Speaker 1: accountant that just had the zero riz no riz unless 76 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 1: you were an Apple stockholder, because he took the value 77 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 1: of the company from like seven hundred and a billion 78 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,720 Speaker 1: a three point nine trillion or whatever it is. Yeah, 79 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 1: he was an expert at efficiency and supply chains and 80 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,720 Speaker 1: accounting and that sort of thing. What's not exciting about that? 81 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,480 Speaker 1: Did they come up with anything new under his leadership? 82 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:42,919 Speaker 1: Did they air buds? Maybe? Yeah? Maybe, I don't know. 83 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:47,039 Speaker 1: I don't know, Yeah, I don't I don't know his strength. No, 84 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 1: And that's always been a ridiculous knock anyway. You only 85 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:55,839 Speaker 1: get so many Michael Angelo, Steve Jobs, Edison's you know, 86 00:04:56,120 --> 00:05:00,479 Speaker 1: per millennium, let alone, you know, you follow one with another, 87 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 1: and anything less than that is you made a poor choice. 88 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:04,480 Speaker 1: It's kind of a ridiculous standard. 89 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:05,040 Speaker 2: Yeah. 90 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,360 Speaker 1: I was thinking about old man Ford actually as you're 91 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 1: saying that if the guy after him had said, all right, 92 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,719 Speaker 1: were re reinventing the assembly line, now we're gonna go 93 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 1: backward then sideways? No, No, it was right. They got 94 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,280 Speaker 1: it right. So he's just a caretaker or you know, 95 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,720 Speaker 1: grow it around the edges, make it more efficient. Guy. 96 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:27,600 Speaker 1: This guy's like their hardware design guru. We'll say, can 97 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 1: you do anything about spell check and voice text? Does 98 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:31,840 Speaker 1: he yes? Yes? 99 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:36,039 Speaker 4: The humiliating state of Apple's Siri yes is actually about 100 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 4: to come up. 101 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,840 Speaker 1: I think, oh, fantastic, So we can look into that. 102 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:44,039 Speaker 1: We got some more Supreme Court leaks that are getting 103 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 1: lots of attention, and we'll jump into that because we 104 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,480 Speaker 1: did that a little bit yesterday and the misreporting around 105 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 1: that story. Of course, there's some AI stuff in the news. 106 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:57,039 Speaker 1: I continue to look over texts that we get. There's 107 00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:00,920 Speaker 1: the crowd that finds the AI stuff interesting. The crowd 108 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 1: that is very head in the sand, like it's not 109 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,160 Speaker 1: real and we're all falling for something. And then there's 110 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,720 Speaker 1: the crowd that just thinks we're morons and so we 111 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 1: have to say about it is pointless, which a right 112 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 1: fair enough could always be true in my case fair 113 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 1: point Well, I'll speak for myself. 114 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:21,839 Speaker 4: Yeah, I actually I have known a couple of people 115 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,599 Speaker 4: personally who would not look at test results or would 116 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 4: not get medical tests done because they didn't want to know. 117 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 1: They were dedicated to the end. I don't want to 118 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 1: know lifestyle. Ye, and I believe that personality type is 119 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,920 Speaker 1: probably foremost among the Hey, I won't change anything, it's 120 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 1: nothing crowd.

Well. 293 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:43,800 Speaker 5: And then, but then I listened to the stories like 294 00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 5: you have where they told you that Marty whatever that 295 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:51,120 Speaker 5: movie was, I forgotten Marty Supreme didn't Marty Supreme didn't exist. 296 00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:53,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's true. That's true. Guy. I got to 297 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:55,280 Speaker 1: remember that if it tells me you don't have a 298 00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:57,280 Speaker 1: brain to umor yeah, you also told me a major 299 00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 1: motion picture didn't exist, or yeah, the Warriors didn't play 300 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,080 Speaker 1: last night, or whatever else. It's a great example of 301 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:06,600 Speaker 1: partial information. It can really look like you have X, 302 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:08,000 Speaker 1: but then the minute you go to a. 303 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,440 Speaker 4: Medical professional, they'll say, no, it can't possibly be that 304 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:12,720 Speaker 4: because of this. But that didn't come up on AI 305 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 4: because it didn't go you know, medical school, deep old 306 00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:18,280 Speaker 4: school medical school, not current DEI medical school. 307 00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:23,440 Speaker 5: And finally this one from the Babylon b Tim Cook 308 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:27,040 Speaker 5: to be replaced by Tim Cook promac seventeen. 309 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,080 Speaker 1: I've noticed at the doctor's office though, that they often 310 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,960 Speaker 1: are like plugging all your stuff into a computer and 311 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,560 Speaker 1: then reading back to you what the computer says, so 312 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,040 Speaker 1: they're basically using their version of AI too. 313 00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:43,200 Speaker 4: Tell you what, you just a more learned consumer of 314 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:45,920 Speaker 4: the AI than a simple dolt like myself. 315 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:50,280 Speaker 1: You didn't almost go to medical school. I looked at 316 00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:53,160 Speaker 1: the possibility for a minute. Yeah, a lot of bio 317 00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,760 Speaker 1: realized I was terrible at all of the classes you 318 00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,320 Speaker 1: have to take. I thought, perhaps that's not for me. 319 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:02,400 Speaker 1: You know what, maybe that's not my right right. Indeed, 320 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 1: we'll catch up on some more of the news of 321 00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,199 Speaker 1: the day in just a little bit, including why pasta 322 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:10,160 Speaker 1: sauces want to start recording our family conversations as if 323 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,920 Speaker 1: families are sitting down for dinner with mom, dad and 324 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:16,720 Speaker 1: kids anyway bound half and that's happening. And according to 325 00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,440 Speaker 1: the Journal, the Iranians take Trump for a sucker. That's 326 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:23,959 Speaker 1: the actual headline. Wow, provocative, Armstrong and Getty. 327 00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,840 Speaker 2: I think if Trump extends the deadline again, the Iranians 328 00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 2: will really feel they've got the upper hand, that he's 329 00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:35,199 Speaker 2: so desperate to avoid resuming military action that they just 330 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:38,640 Speaker 2: have to keep pressing on him, and they'll come away 331 00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:40,480 Speaker 2: with a pretty good deal from their point of view. 332 00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:45,080 Speaker 2: That's why I think this approach was fundamentally flawed. I 333 00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,040 Speaker 2: think the ceasefire itself was a mistake. 334 00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:50,760 Speaker 1: The very hawkish John Bolton, who was the National Security 335 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:53,000 Speaker 1: advisor for trump first term, I think he was something 336 00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 1: in the Trump administration. 337 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,520 Speaker 4: I'm just glad that Trump will take Bolton's opinion with 338 00:17:57,560 --> 00:17:59,000 Speaker 4: an open heart and an open mind. 339 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:03,320 Speaker 1: So must with gravitas, no doubt. I do think that 340 00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,840 Speaker 1: we might already be here. You keep pumping on these deadlines. 341 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:12,000 Speaker 1: At some point, they just don't have any effect, do they. 342 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:16,840 Speaker 1: Well known author think tanker writer Elliot Kaufman says, the 343 00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:20,119 Speaker 1: Iranians are taking Trump for a sucker. That's a hell 344 00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:20,760 Speaker 1: of a headline. 345 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:22,520 Speaker 4: How many times do they expect him to play this 346 00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:24,720 Speaker 4: game before they reopen the strait of horror moves? 347 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:25,439 Speaker 1: He wants to know. 348 00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:29,280 Speaker 4: It's a pretty good trenchant criticism if you're ready for it. 349 00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:32,720 Speaker 4: How many times, oh Andy Jason goes right after Trump 350 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,440 Speaker 4: and is his career, which he's proud of. How many 351 00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:38,320 Speaker 4: times will President Trump pay Iran for the same real estate? 352 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:41,800 Speaker 4: Twice he has announced the opening of the Strait of 353 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:44,560 Speaker 4: horror moves, and twice he's given up US leverage in exchange, 354 00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:47,680 Speaker 4: and yet the strait remains closed as Iran's regime demands more. 355 00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:51,600 Speaker 4: On April the seventh, Trump announced the two weeks ceasefire 356 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:55,600 Speaker 4: quote subject to the Islamic Republic of Iran agree to the. 357 00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:59,359 Speaker 1: Complete, immediate and safe opening. 358 00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:02,480 Speaker 4: Of the Strait of Horror Moves. This implied that Iron 359 00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:04,439 Speaker 4: hadn't quite agreed to it yet, and the two sources 360 00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:08,960 Speaker 4: familiar with no negotiations will yeah. Gaps remained, but Uran's 361 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,959 Speaker 4: foreign minister eased concerns for a period of two weeks. 362 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,840 Speaker 4: He wrote that evening safe passage through the Stratahorror Moves 363 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:18,359 Speaker 4: will be possible with in certain limits. By the next morning, 364 00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:21,280 Speaker 4: Trump was a bulliant, big day for world peace. Iaron 365 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,680 Speaker 4: wants it to happen. They've had enough, he wrote. We'll 366 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:25,560 Speaker 4: be loading up with supplies of all kinds. 367 00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:29,640 Speaker 1: When the journal's editorial board warned against declaring premature victory, 368 00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:32,880 Speaker 1: the President was dismissive. Actually, it's a victory and there's 369 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:35,520 Speaker 1: nothing premature about it, he wrote. On April the ninth, 370 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,760 Speaker 1: Very quickly, you'll see oil start flowing. The Wall Street 371 00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:42,199 Speaker 1: Journal will, as usual, live to eat their words. The 372 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 1: oil didn't flow. 373 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:46,480 Speaker 4: Tanker traffic declined even further, this is not the agreement 374 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:49,960 Speaker 4: we have, mister Trump complained, this was RAN's first swindle. 375 00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:53,440 Speaker 1: There's more. I thought i'd pause in case you want 376 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:55,280 Speaker 1: to interject. What is Iran getting out of that? 377 00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,879 Speaker 4: They're just stringing along the negotiations and jerk in the 378 00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:02,320 Speaker 4: other side around like they all do, thinking they can 379 00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:06,159 Speaker 4: get something better than the current deal if they just 380 00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:10,680 Speaker 4: keep screwing with them. I mean, the JCPOA, the Obama 381 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,480 Speaker 4: agreement with Iran is a perfect example of that. He 382 00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:17,960 Speaker 4: got Obama to drop his pants and get virtually nothing. 383 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,439 Speaker 4: I continue to wonder if it is a strategy it 384 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,159 Speaker 4: could be, or if it's you know, like I was 385 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:30,440 Speaker 4: saying yesterday, the politician said yeah, we'll agree, and then 386 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:33,000 Speaker 4: the Republican the people at the gun said no, he ain't. 387 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 1: That's the problem. Absolutely possible. Yeah, moving along. So after that. 388 00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:40,960 Speaker 4: First first, this trait is open, This trait is not open. 389 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:43,960 Speaker 4: After the ceasefire, Wren's regime insisted on a new condition, 390 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:47,479 Speaker 4: Israel would have to stop stop attacking Hezbola in Lebanon 391 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 4: before negotiations could advance. This wasn't part of the deal, 392 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,760 Speaker 4: Trump replied, Hesbela had started the war and by smashing 393 00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:56,879 Speaker 4: Around's most important terror proxy, Israel, was adding to the 394 00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,040 Speaker 4: pressure on the regime and thus to US leverage. I 395 00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:02,920 Speaker 4: agree completely and don't forget this war started on October seventh, 396 00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:06,639 Speaker 4: twenty twenty three. Moving along then again pausing would be 397 00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:10,040 Speaker 4: seen as an Israeli concession politically easier for the President. 398 00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:13,000 Speaker 4: Trump's that I spoke with bb and he's going to 399 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:15,400 Speaker 4: low key it, he said on the ninth, April, tenth, 400 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:18,320 Speaker 4: and eleventh. Negotiations followed in Pakistan, the US walked away 401 00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:22,200 Speaker 4: with when Iran resistant key nuclear concessions, Mister Trump now 402 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:24,199 Speaker 4: needed a new way to force the regime's hand in 403 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:27,120 Speaker 4: the absence of military strikes. A blockade of Iran's ports 404 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,360 Speaker 4: would be America's stickets. Carrot would be an Israeli sees fire, 405 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:33,679 Speaker 4: and Lebanon direct to Israel. Lebanon talks, previously scorned by 406 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:37,200 Speaker 4: Washington as pointless, given beiruts in action against Hesbolo, where 407 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,199 Speaker 4: hastily arranged for the fourteenth. 408 00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:40,880 Speaker 1: The spectacle could distract. 409 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,200 Speaker 4: Some from the fate of complete a smooth US negotiations 410 00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:46,240 Speaker 4: Trump that dictated Israel they give Iran the reprieve it 411 00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:49,680 Speaker 4: wanted In Lebanon that was announced on the sixteenth, Iran's 412 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:53,000 Speaker 4: foreign minister again acknowledged that what had been agreed, and 413 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 4: he more or less repeated what we just said. A 414 00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:58,439 Speaker 4: day after granting the concession, however, the regime withdrew it. 415 00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,359 Speaker 4: This was the second square swindle, and that was that 416 00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:05,280 Speaker 4: they would open the straits of Hormus completely, and again 417 00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:09,359 Speaker 4: one day after saying it will open, it closed again, 418 00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:11,600 Speaker 4: which could go back to your point, Jack, the guys 419 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:15,280 Speaker 4: with the guns versus the diplomats. Then on Saturday, Iran's 420 00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:17,560 Speaker 4: military said the Straight was closed approaching it will be 421 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:19,320 Speaker 4: considered a cooperation with the enemy. 422 00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:20,880 Speaker 1: It even attacked a few vessels. 423 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:23,680 Speaker 4: Regimes that it won't open hormones until the US ceases 424 00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:24,760 Speaker 4: blockading its ports. 425 00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:27,520 Speaker 1: This will be the Iranians third swindle. If Trump goes along. 426 00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:30,280 Speaker 4: The regime wants the Straight closed and US leverage diminished 427 00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:33,639 Speaker 4: for nuclear negotiations. They came blackmail, as Trump said on Sunday. 428 00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:36,560 Speaker 4: But they think they can. Certainly they are comfortable embarrassing 429 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:39,000 Speaker 4: the president. What's stopping them from playing the same games 430 00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:41,040 Speaker 4: over the stockpiles of enriched uranium? 431 00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:44,560 Speaker 1: He concludes, when mister Trump first suspended attacks on Iran, 432 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,240 Speaker 1: then on Hezbollah. Iran now presses him to give up 433 00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 1: US economic leverage too. Sometimes diplomacy can lock in military gains. 434 00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:55,160 Speaker 1: This time it has been set up to give them away. Yes, 435 00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:59,320 Speaker 1: this all could be true, but I always always point 436 00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:01,240 Speaker 1: out because I I read a lot of these books 437 00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:04,560 Speaker 1: that nobody reads about these events years later, and there's 438 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:08,399 Speaker 1: always so much stuff you didn't know what was happening 439 00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:11,719 Speaker 1: at the time. I mean lots of important stuff that 440 00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:15,600 Speaker 1: was going on at the time of you know, name 441 00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:19,080 Speaker 1: the big conflict over the many many years. Because this 442 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:23,160 Speaker 1: all this stuff is super secret. So for instance, it's 443 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:27,200 Speaker 1: not impossible to believe that our intelligence says they are 444 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:30,399 Speaker 1: weeks from collapsing now that we've got the blockade in 445 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:33,240 Speaker 1: place and they've run out of money, and those reports 446 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:38,160 Speaker 1: that we mentioned last week internally are true that whoever's 447 00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:40,720 Speaker 1: in charge and around is saying, look, we're about to 448 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:44,080 Speaker 1: collapse here. We got no money, and they would much 449 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:47,720 Speaker 1: rather have Iran collapse and then we try to figure 450 00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:51,280 Speaker 1: out what's going on, then then destroy all their infrastructure 451 00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:54,840 Speaker 1: and try to make a country function out of that. Right, Yeah, 452 00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 1: that's a great theory. I love it. Plus there's a 453 00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:58,480 Speaker 1: possibility something's. 454 00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 4: Going on, like the the diplomats, the civilians in charge 455 00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:06,720 Speaker 4: sort of in charge are standard Trump the twenty third, 456 00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,160 Speaker 4: I can't say anything else, wait for the twenty third 457 00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:13,040 Speaker 4: of the month, please, okay, because something is actually a 458 00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:16,240 Speaker 4: foot in that bitter, bitter struggle for leadership. 459 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:18,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, which reminds me I mentioned I was listened to 460 00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:22,560 Speaker 1: a think tanker, Fred Kagan. There's too many Kagans in 461 00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:24,919 Speaker 1: the think tank words. I think it's Fred Kagan with 462 00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:27,760 Speaker 1: one of your think tanky things, talking about how that 463 00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:35,719 Speaker 1: the Islatola Junior, weird Beard Junior, that the power center 464 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:40,320 Speaker 1: of the Republican Guard got him put in as the 465 00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:44,679 Speaker 1: supreme leader, knowing he had no power. Nobody was going 466 00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:47,040 Speaker 1: to listen to him. He's not even physically able to 467 00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:49,480 Speaker 1: do the job. They just need to have somebody in 468 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:53,320 Speaker 1: that position so that they could be in charge basically, 469 00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:55,720 Speaker 1: which was perked like half a puppet at least from 470 00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:57,840 Speaker 1: the beginning, Which was a pretty good move. That was 471 00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:01,760 Speaker 1: a good one. Why don't we go with clip forty three. 472 00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:05,440 Speaker 1: This is a commentator for the name of Shashank Jashi. 473 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:09,879 Speaker 1: We'll see if Shashank has his redemption during this clip. 474 00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:13,360 Speaker 7: My colleagues have done some excellent reporting from inside Iran, 475 00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:16,480 Speaker 7: and the picture we get is a cacophony. You know, 476 00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:18,840 Speaker 7: it depends which Irani you're talking to. If you look 477 00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:22,600 Speaker 7: at the last delegation that the Iranians sent to Islamabad, 478 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:26,480 Speaker 7: it had eighty Iranians. About thirty of them were build 479 00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:30,080 Speaker 7: as decision makers. You had some very pragmatic diplomats who 480 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:33,040 Speaker 7: had worked on the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, that 481 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:36,719 Speaker 7: deal signed by Barack Obama's administration back in twenty eighteen. 482 00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:41,760 Speaker 7: And you had effectively nationalist fire brands who derided America, 483 00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:44,800 Speaker 7: sneered at the idea of a deal. And what we've 484 00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:49,360 Speaker 7: reported is that, you know, these intra Iranian disputes were 485 00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:53,399 Speaker 7: so fractious that the Pakistani mediators at times had to 486 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:56,920 Speaker 7: spend as much time arbitrating amongst the Iranians as they 487 00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:59,480 Speaker 7: did between the Iranians and the Americans. So you can 488 00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:04,360 Speaker 7: see these huge splits even within Iran over how to proceed. 489 00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:06,679 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's interesting. I can't wait to read about this 490 00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:10,680 Speaker 1: all Someday. Maybe the lesson going out of this will 491 00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:14,560 Speaker 1: be the downside of wiping out the entire leadership in 492 00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:17,040 Speaker 1: the first five minutes of a war is then you 493 00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:21,439 Speaker 1: got nobody to talk to? Oh? Absolutely, yeah. It creates 494 00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:24,800 Speaker 1: problems even as it solves them. Here's a question for you. 495 00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:26,919 Speaker 4: How long do you think it would take me to 496 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:32,320 Speaker 4: effectively learn to speak with that man's accent?

No what he wants to that 524 00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:52,480 Speaker 4: exactly all right? So uh boy, how to the next 525 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:55,520 Speaker 4: couple of days could be interesting? I uh am committed 526 00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:58,520 Speaker 4: to my prediction that this round of quote unquote negotiations 527 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:01,399 Speaker 4: will be a complete waste still tied well a variety 528 00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:01,760 Speaker 4: of reasons. 529 00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:04,520 Speaker 1: And so if we go so he goes pedal to 530 00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:06,240 Speaker 1: the metal and does the whole wipe out all the 531 00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:10,120 Speaker 1: bridges and power plants man like you were talking about yesterday. 532 00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:12,360 Speaker 1: So maybe the Republican guards says, okay, great, you took 533 00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:14,240 Speaker 1: out all our bridges and power plants. We're still in charge. 534 00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:16,880 Speaker 1: We still got the guns, now what Yeah, we got 535 00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:20,159 Speaker 1: generators over here. It's the civilians who are suffering. So okay, 536 00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:25,119 Speaker 1: I don't know the answer to that question. This is 537 00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:31,840 Speaker 1: a vexing and very strange adversary. I'd say, well, it 538 00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:34,240 Speaker 1: gets into all the problem of modern wars that have 539 00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:40,720 Speaker 1: existed in that nobody's willing to go full on, you know, 540 00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:44,240 Speaker 1: just wipe out whoever you got to wipe out, right to, 541 00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,880 Speaker 1: including lots of civilians sometimes, you know, just to just 542 00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:54,200 Speaker 1: decimate cities, right exactly. But hey, in curious bias, Trump 543 00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:58,840 Speaker 1: hating soft heads of the media, they couldn't have a bomb. 544 00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:04,680 Speaker 1: It's always been true, it remains true. Had to stop them. 545 00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:10,880 Speaker 4: Sometimes serious problems are seriously inconvenient to solve. So we 546 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:15,080 Speaker 4: nailed down why a pasta company wants to a pasta 547 00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:18,600 Speaker 4: sauce company wants to record your family dinners and think 548 00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:21,040 Speaker 4: that you'll be on board with that, among other things 549 00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:23,000 Speaker 4: we've got And Joe's going to get the mail bag 550 00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:30,320 Speaker 4: coming up next day. Here, guess who died ten years ago? 551 00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:33,600 Speaker 1: Big, big, big deal, ten years ago. I think today 552 00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:40,440 Speaker 1: this week Prince Prince died ten years ago. Oh, it's 553 00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:46,120 Speaker 1: worth contemplating or something. Here's your freedom loving quote of 554 00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:49,840 Speaker 1: the day. I have a big, beautiful portrait of him 555 00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:52,600 Speaker 1: in my study, Georgia. 556 00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:57,360 Speaker 4: Arwell, Steve, No, no, I do not have a big 557 00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:00,400 Speaker 4: portrait of prince in my study. Steve and Eugene Oregon 558 00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:03,440 Speaker 4: say hey to my son for me, Steve. In case 559 00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:05,280 Speaker 4: you guys are interested in a perspective that could be 560 00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,120 Speaker 4: applied to the new AI generated media phenomenon well in 561 00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:09,080 Speaker 4: the media in general. 562 00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:12,160 Speaker 1: This is from Morewell. Early in life, I had noticed 563 00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:14,959 Speaker 1: that no event has ever correctly reported in a newspaper, 564 00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:17,800 Speaker 1: but in Spain he fought in the Spanish Civil War. 565 00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:20,240 Speaker 1: For a time, for the first time, I saw newspaper 566 00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:23,400 Speaker 1: reports which did not bear any relationship to the fact, 567 00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:27,000 Speaker 1: not even the relationship that is implied in an ordinary lie. 568 00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:30,480 Speaker 1: I saw great battles reported where there had been no fighting, 569 00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:33,240 Speaker 1: and complete silence where hundreds of men had been killed. 570 00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:35,320 Speaker 1: This kind of thing is frightening to me because it 571 00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:37,480 Speaker 1: often gives me the feeling that the very concept of 572 00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:41,120 Speaker 1: objective truth is fading out of the world. After all, 573 00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:43,360 Speaker 1: the chances are that those lies, or at any rate 574 00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:46,120 Speaker 1: similar lies, will pass into history. And that was in 575 00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:49,840 Speaker 1: the thirties. Oh my god, George, let me tell you 576 00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:53,760 Speaker 1: about something called the Internet. You're gonna love it. Mailbag 577 00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:59,520 Speaker 1: overwhelming response, Oh drop us, no mail bag and armstrong 578 00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:02,760 Speaker 1: and getdy ie. Where was I? Overwhelming response to our 579 00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:09,200 Speaker 1: discussion of a post AI no scarcity economy, universal high income. 580 00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:10,720 Speaker 1: We'll talk about that next time. None of us are 581 00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:12,560 Speaker 1: ever going to have to work again. It's gonna be awesome. 582 00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:17,880 Speaker 4: First of all, a very very gentlemanly, well written note 583 00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:22,080 Speaker 4: from Jeffrey. Very very unhappy Jack with your characterization of 584 00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:24,680 Speaker 4: the Pope. As I believe the term was a dick, 585 00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:28,840 Speaker 4: and I admit I went along with it. You will 586 00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:31,720 Speaker 4: not stand by it after you hear this, you belligerent bastard. 587 00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:35,880 Speaker 1: The clip of the Pope's recent comments on Warren tyrants 588 00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:38,960 Speaker 1: was played without any context. Those remarks were delivered in Africa, 589 00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:42,640 Speaker 1: addressing conditions specific to that region, and had been prepared 590 00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:46,480 Speaker 1: well in advance. As the Pope made clear, his. 591 00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:48,880 Speaker 4: Remarks had been prepared weeks in advance, were not directed 592 00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:52,560 Speaker 4: at Donald Trump or any single political figure. He explicitly 593 00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:55,480 Speaker 4: stated that it is quote not in my interest at 594 00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:57,280 Speaker 4: all to engage in a feud. Noted that much of 595 00:31:57,320 --> 00:32:00,640 Speaker 4: the media narrative surrounding his comments had been inact. His 596 00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:03,480 Speaker 4: remarks were addressing specific conflicts in Africa. 597 00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:05,920 Speaker 1: And not the United States. I hope that's true. If 598 00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:10,400 Speaker 1: it is true, then it's an excellent point and our problem, Jeffrey, 599 00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:12,360 Speaker 1: and thank you again. The note could not be more 600 00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:18,560 Speaker 1: gentlemanly and lovely. Is that good, Gully. It's tough to 601 00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:21,200 Speaker 1: figure out what's true and what's not. Now. If that 602 00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:23,840 Speaker 1: is accurate and that was the setting in what he 603 00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:28,320 Speaker 1: was talking about the context, then nice job, mainstream media 604 00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:32,560 Speaker 1: of going out of your way of presenting as if 605 00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:35,600 Speaker 1: it was obviously talking about Donald Trump when you probably 606 00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:36,160 Speaker 1: knew better. 607 00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:39,760 Speaker 4: I actually thought that fit in so beautifully with the 608 00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:44,640 Speaker 4: orwell quote unintentional art. Blind pig finds acorn moving along? 609 00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:48,959 Speaker 4: How about John from beautiful Longmont, Colorado. Nice to hear 610 00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:52,240 Speaker 4: from you, John, Gentleman. A question Many, including myself, consider 611 00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:56,120 Speaker 4: the current Iran leadership to be unnegotiable. Japan in nineteen 612 00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:58,520 Speaker 4: forty five would have carried the war on indefinitely without 613 00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:01,840 Speaker 4: Hiroshima and Nagasaki certainly agree with that. Without resorting to 614 00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:03,600 Speaker 4: that level of force, are we left with no option? 615 00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:07,280 Speaker 4: But to basically destroy Iran economically. Curious about your thoughts 616 00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:10,080 Speaker 4: on this. We kind of discussed that earlier in the Hour, John, 617 00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:11,800 Speaker 4: But that is the great question. 618 00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:16,320 Speaker 1: How do you crack this bizarre death cult nut, or 619 00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:18,080 Speaker 1: how do you crack any war in the modern world 620 00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:20,280 Speaker 1: unless you're willing to do what people used to do 621 00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:22,560 Speaker 1: in wars, which is pretty ugly, but you didn't have 622 00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:23,240 Speaker 1: cell phones. 623 00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:26,400 Speaker 4: Well, and the fastest way to end to war, the 624 00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:29,360 Speaker 4: kindest way to end the wars throughout our cruelty, according 625 00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:34,120 Speaker 4: to most military historians. I mean, not like wanton, unnecessary cruelty, 626 00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:39,040 Speaker 4: but end it quick and brutally. A wild change in direction, 627 00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:42,400 Speaker 4: but absolutely fabulous. Sent along by a frequent correspondent, AD 628 00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:44,400 Speaker 4: who's been sending us great stuff. 629 00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:46,160 Speaker 1: For Ages and ED. We appreciated, guys. 630 00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:49,320 Speaker 4: I saw an article yesterday stating that the Chicago Teachers' 631 00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:53,200 Speaker 4: Union the CTU, had declared May first, May Day as 632 00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:57,160 Speaker 4: the day of student activism, where teachers are encouraging students 633 00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:59,400 Speaker 4: to join them in a march to protest name your 634 00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:03,320 Speaker 4: omnikov cause. The socialist mayor has congratulated them for this effort. 635 00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:06,239 Speaker 4: In a school district where one in three students are 636 00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:09,759 Speaker 4: proficient in reading, which is like barely a C, and 637 00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:12,680 Speaker 4: one in five students are proficient in math. C to you, 638 00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:14,759 Speaker 4: thinks it's fine to give students yet another reason to 639 00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:18,000 Speaker 4: skip schools a school, how is this possible? Wait, I'm 640 00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:21,760 Speaker 4: having an epiphany. They are not really interested in teaching students, 641 00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:25,040 Speaker 4: but in indoctrinating them to their socialist mindset. 642 00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:27,440 Speaker 1: It's one one hundred percent true. Ed. 643 00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:30,440 Speaker 4: It's time we start a class action lawsuit against the teachers, 644 00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:33,200 Speaker 4: their unions, and the school boards and politicians that support 645 00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:36,640 Speaker 4: this crap. Oh wait, teachers have qualified immunity. Union can 646 00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:38,359 Speaker 4: only be sued for breach of its duty to its 647 00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:41,440 Speaker 4: members and cannot be held to educational standards. There is 648 00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:45,840 Speaker 4: very little on the face of the map of America 649 00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:49,880 Speaker 4: this more evil and destructive than radical leftist teachers unions. 650 00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:53,320 Speaker 4: That's one thing I like about Rama Manual running for president. 651 00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:58,440 Speaker 4: He's really into this story that Democrats lost the thread 652 00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:03,560 Speaker 4: on education and schools are performing poorly because it's going 653 00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:05,920 Speaker 4: to take a Democrat to fix it, because if it's 654 00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:07,960 Speaker 4: a Republican it's just too easy to you know, make 655 00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:10,960 Speaker 4: the argument against And finally, a delightful little note of 656 00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:14,600 Speaker 4: sarcasm from Brandon regarding the two soldiers in Alaska injured 657 00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:16,239 Speaker 4: by a bear. I cannot be the only person who 658 00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:18,480 Speaker 4: have had this thought. At least they didn't run into 659 00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:21,160 Speaker 4: a strange man in the woods. All the women I 660 00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:23,560 Speaker 4: know who will tell you how much more dangerous that 661 00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:26,000 Speaker 4: is than running into a bear. Hopefully they also pack 662 00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:28,800 Speaker 4: strange man spray and their kit next to their bear spray. 663 00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:33,160 Speaker 1: Idiots strange. Wow, it's a little harsh. We got more 664 00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:35,000 Speaker 1: coming up an hour two if you visit its podcast, 665 00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:36,280 Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getty
