1
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:06,240
Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

2
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:10,880
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty arm Strong

3
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:17,400
Speaker 1: and Getty and he Armstrong and Yetty.

4
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 2: My kid's school has homecoming, so he's all excited about

5
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:31,479
Speaker 2: that tonight. I'm gonna wear one of my one of

6
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 2: my shirts, one of my ties, and one of my

7
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:34,560
Speaker 2: jackets because he's the same size.

8
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 3: So I remember those days, those heady days of raiding

9
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 3: my dad's closet good time.

10
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:43,240
Speaker 1: I was never close to my dad's size.

11
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:47,200
Speaker 2: It's so different because my son has reached grown man

12
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 2: at thirteen, and I wasn't a grown man till I

13
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 2: was like twenty five. So it's just just a different

14
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 2: world than what I had. I can't even imagine.

15
00:00:58,000 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 4: Hi.

16
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 1: Hi, everybody is like a sophomore high school. It was

17
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 1: like ninety pounds. Wow. Yeah, very different. Yeah, my son

18
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 1: is shaving and wearing my clothes. That's a very low voice.

19
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 2: He's a dock worker, he's a doc worker. In Uh,

20
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:15,479
Speaker 2: was that indubitably incredibly?

21
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:16,680
Speaker 1: What was that particular?

22
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 2: In particularly in particularly so the thing that I need

23
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 2: to remember and everyone should remember about the presidential election

24
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 2: when we're hearing all this different stuff is nothing matters

25
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 2: at all except for the undecided voters in a handful

26
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 2: of states.

27
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: That's all that matters. So any other talk nationally doesn't matter.

28
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 2: Any talk about all of the voters that have made

29
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 2: up their mind, which is like ninety five percent of people,

30
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 2: doesn't matter. It's just the handful of people who could

31
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 2: go either way in the swing states, which is really

32
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 2: really interesting. And that's why maybe this storm, the Hurricane Helene,

33
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 2: becomes a really really big deal because one of the

34
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 2: swing states that could make all the difference in the world,

35
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 2: in North Carolina, just got pummeled. As you if you've

36
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 2: been watching the news, it's horrifying. God dang it. People

37
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 2: standing on roofs and not getting rescued, standing on roofs

38
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 2: waving to helicopters, but one doesn't get there in time

39
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 2: and they die. Next time a helicopter comes by, the

40
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 2: eighth there no more.

41
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:27,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's gruesome. Off the map, just unbelievable.

42
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you're gonna hear from Joe Biden, who said

43
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 2: this like in the last hour or so, and then

44
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 2: you're gonna hear from a guy who's actually there dealing

45
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 2: with it.

46
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: Uh.

47
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 2: First, here's a reporter asking our senile old president about

48
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 2: how well the government's response is to the storm.

49
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 5: What does the states the storm zone need, mister President,

50
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 5: What are the states of the storm zone? What do

51
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 5: they need after what you saw today.

52
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 1: On the storm zone? Yet, sir, what stormerslving of?

53
00:02:59,160 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 4: Uh?

54
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:01,080
Speaker 1: Don't have any that they need.

55
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 4: They're very happy off the board.

56
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 2: Holy gos, Oh the storm zone. I didn't know what

57
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,640
Speaker 2: storm you were talking about. What how about the one

58
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 2: that's in the news all day every day, one of

59
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,959
Speaker 2: the biggest storms probably gonna end up being the deadliest

60
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 2: hurricane in US history.

61
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: That one.

62
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 2: That's the storm the guy's asking you about. Oh, I

63
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 2: didn't know what storm you're asking me about. Oh, it's

64
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 2: going great. They're getting everything they need. Everybody's happy. Okay,

65
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 2: here I'm stunned. Let's hear from a guy who ain't happy.

66
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 4: Here's the problem. I'm gonna tell you everything that's happening

67
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 4: from the ground one I'm actually seeing, because what they're

68
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 4: telling you is complete board news, and these politicians don't

69
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 4: fluting their line. I'll say this now, I'll say it.

70
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: In the video.

71
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 4: The only thing I need from this video is helicopters.

72
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 4: If I have helicopters, I can save lives. Without helicopters,

73
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 4: I can't reach these people. It doesn't matter how many

74
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 4: chainsaws and trucks I got, I can't get to them.

75
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 4: They're ten twenty miles forty miles in the mountains. There's

76
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 4: no way to get with them or even communicate with them.

77
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 4: I am literally flying around in a civilian helicopter looking

78
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 4: for SOS messages carved in the mud or painting on

79
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 4: the ground, and we're dropping down and saving them.

80
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: Yeah.

81
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,160
Speaker 2: I saw a NASCAR driver who's so wealthy he has

82
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 2: his own helicopter who's flying around trying to pick people

83
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 2: up yesterday. Let's hear a little bit more from this gentleman,

84
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 2: and then we'll revisit Joe Biden here once again what

85
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 2: he had to say about.

86
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 4: Hey everyone, I just want to thank you for all

87
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 4: the support and sharing that video. That did exactly what

88
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 4: it was intended to do, and that was.

89
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 1: To go viral.

90
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 4: It also brought us a lot of helicopter support from

91
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 4: the private sector on the civilian side. So we're going

92
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaker 4: to put those helicopters to work and go save lives.

93
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 4: We should be out flying right now. But me and

94
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 4: Charlie are sitting here on the ground waiting for a

95
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:46,039
Speaker 4: helicopters to get back.

96
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 1: But we won't be able to go out probably till.

97
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 4: Later this afternoon because Joe Biden is flying in and

98
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 4: they put up a temporary flight restriction in this entire area.

99
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 4: We had good weather, but because of politics, we can't

100
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 4: go do our job right now because somebody wants to

101
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 4: come here and shake hands and kiss babies and tape

102
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 4: video that he actually pretends like he cares.

103
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 1: Oh my god, they've grounded the helicopters that are rescuing people.

104
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 2: Oh Lord, to protect the president flying in. Let's hear

105
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,039
Speaker 2: the president again when he got interviewed just a little

106
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 2: bit ago.

107
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 5: What do the states the storm zone need, mister President?

108
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:23,039
Speaker 5: What are the states and the storm zone? What do

109
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 5: they need after what you saw today? I'm how on

110
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:28,239
Speaker 5: the storm zone get there?

111
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:30,159
Speaker 4: I'm learning what storm you're talking about.

112
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, they that never they need.

113
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,679
Speaker 4: They're very happy about the board.

114
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 1: I just.

115
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 3: This ought to be a Watergate style scandal slash conversation

116
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 3: slash reporting frenzy. The idea that George Bush got pilloried

117
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 3: for saying, Brownie, you're doing a hell of a job, right,

118
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 3: I mean, they are so utterly dishonest and biased.

119
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I know you know that, but I am

120
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 1: actually shocked by this.

121
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 2: The weird thing that I wouldn't have guessed when this

122
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:18,279
Speaker 2: was unfolding is Joe Biden deciding not to run has

123
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 2: like inoculated him against the normal poll and tug of politics.

124
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,280
Speaker 2: It's like, well, it doesn't matter anymore. So he's not

125
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,719
Speaker 2: one of the candidates, so he can be as incompetent

126
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:37,479
Speaker 2: or non existent or wrong or whatever's he wants to be.

127
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 2: It's just not really a story because he's not one

128
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 2: of the candidates. So why he's the president of the

129
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:43,479
Speaker 2: United States?

130
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,600
Speaker 3: Right, Well, everybody's so fixated on electoral politics for one thing.

131
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 3: But yeah, it's like a memo from the job that

132
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 3: you're going to be gone from next Friday.

133
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:57,599
Speaker 1: You don't care whatever. That's wild. After hearing that clip,

134
00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:59,919
Speaker 1: he's not running our country. I don't even think he

135
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 1: what was going on at all? Well, how does he say?

136
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 2: I understand that he didn't hear this question quite because

137
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:08,160
Speaker 2: it's always loud everywhere because he doesn't like do press

138
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 2: conferences or interviews because he can't I don't know why

139
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 2: he stops by helicopters to he can't hear as it is,

140
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 2: what's standing.

141
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 1: Next to a helicopter? What do the what with the what?

142
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 1: I mean, what does he going through this for?

143
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 2: But anyway, when he finally oh the storm, I didn't

144
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 2: know what storm you were talking about.

145
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 3: Uh huh.

146
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:29,559
Speaker 1: Everybody's happy across the board.

147
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 2: Everybody's happy. It's everything, get everything they need. Everybody's happy

148
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 2: across the board, which is just why knee jerk. My

149
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 2: brain barely works anymore. It's it's stuck in there somewhere

150
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 2: for being a politician my whole life. I just regularly say,

151
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 2: everybody's happy and everything's great.

152
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 3: So why is the air Nott sick with National Guard

153
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 3: helicopters right now?

154
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 1: What is going on?

155
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 3: You know that the state has a responsibility there too,

156
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 3: But the idea that they can't get helicopters then they

157
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 3: finally do and they're all grounded because President's doing his

158
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 3: photo op is obscene.

159
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that is murderous. Well, when you have.

160
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 2: Private citizens who happen to have helicopters, I don't know

161
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 2: who you are.

162
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 1: Coming in. Obviously, it's something that's doable.

163
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 2: It's doable to bring a helicopter in and rescue some

164
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 2: of these people, and it's a private citizen thing.

165
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 3: Well, the department is under the brave leadership of this fellow.

166
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:34,079
Speaker 3: Give us forty three, Michael, would you.

167
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 6: We are meeting the immediate needs with the money that

168
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 6: we have. We are expecting another hurricane hitting. We do

169
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 6: not have the funds. FEMA does not have the funds

170
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 6: to make it through the season.

171
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,680
Speaker 2: There's still two hundred people missing in that one county

172
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 2: in North Carolina.

173
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 1: Now hopefully, you know a.

174
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 2: Lot of them are okay, and they just you know,

175
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:07,679
Speaker 2: haven't been too concerned with checking in with whoever counts names,

176
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 2: because they're just trying to figure out what am I

177
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,079
Speaker 2: gonna eat and what am I gonna wear? And where

178
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 2: am I gonna stay tonight? Right, But there's a decent

179
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 2: chance a lot of them are dead.

180
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 1: Man.

181
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 2: That was the worst answer we've had from a president

182
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 2: in a long time.

183
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 1: I mean, just a complete lack of you know, uh.

184
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 2: And he's he's the old Joe compassion and so much

185
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 2: compassion for everybody.

186
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 1: All the time.

187
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 2: He's lost that ability apparently because he didn't even he

188
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 2: didn't even give the It's tough what those people are

189
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 2: going through. I've been watching on the news. I'm following

190
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 2: on a minute by minute basis with this department and

191
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 2: that department, and you throw out some names.

192
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 3: Of people today, instructed them to give them blah blah

193
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 3: blah blah.

194
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 2: Right, he couldn't do the normal thing. Just what I

195
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 2: didn't know what Stormy you're talking about. Oh, they got

196
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 2: everything they need.

197
00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 3: Everyone's happy across the board, I think, and this is

198
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 3: very troubling. Part of the reason people aren't taking it

199
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 3: seriously that a president said something so idiotic and abhorrent

200
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:13,199
Speaker 3: is that everybody accepts he's so senile. He can't be

201
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 3: held to account for the things he says. The fact

202
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 3: that he is the leader of the free world is terrifying.

203
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 3: It's almost it's almost funny. It's so absurd, it's almost

204
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:30,559
Speaker 3: funny because, I mean, his the incoherence and insensitivity and

205
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 3: stupidity they have answer is easily explained. He's too senile

206
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 3: to know better. At this point, I think you're right.

207
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 3: Still in the oval of office.

208
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:37,959
Speaker 1: I think you're right.

209
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 2: I think that's where the media and the population is.

210
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 1: It's just like, well, you know, he doesn't know what

211
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 1: he's saying.

212
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:48,599
Speaker 3: So I think at this point Kamala Harris ought to

213
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 3: be the president. I mean, she's a moron, but at

214
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 3: least she's compassmentous.

215
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 2: Well, right, I would bet money that that's what history

216
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 2: will decide, and maybe fairly soon is it, when all

217
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 2: the stories come out, it will be Oh my god,

218
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 2: somebody else should have been in charge that last six

219
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 2: months year.

220
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 1: That was a horror.

221
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 3: Three more months of this guy with the world in

222
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 3: the state that it's in. Anybody else feel like they're

223
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 3: on the edge of their seat?

224
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 1: Wow? Yeah, why not one more time? This is pretty good.

225
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 5: What do the states the storm zone need, mister President?

226
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 5: What are the states and the storm zone? What do

227
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 5: they need after what you saw today on the storm zone? Yes, sir,

228
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 5: I'm learning what storm you're talking about. Yeah, they don't

229
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 5: everything they need. They're very happy.

230
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 4: Golf the board.

231
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 2: I think I'm picking up the context. So this is

232
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 2: after he visited. So a reporter asked him after he visited,

233
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 2: what did you see today in the storm zone?

234
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 1: The what the storm zone? I don't know what storm

235
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:56,239
Speaker 1: you're talking about.

236
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 2: The one you just spent the day visiting that storm?

237
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,320
Speaker 3: Oh my god, with the devastation and the dead people

238
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:04,440
Speaker 3: in the towns that are gone.

239
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 2: I'm the hole looking out the window at the water,

240
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 2: and then you hug some people. You remember that whole

241
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 2: thing today, that storm. I didn't know what storm you

242
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 2: were talking about. Now, everybody's happy across the board. What

243
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 2: an awful thing to say when people have died anyway.

244
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 2: I mean, he shouldn't be thrown around. People are happy

245
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 2: across the board no matter what.

246
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:23,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm sorry, I'm just stunned.

247
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 3: That is one of the worst things I've ever heard.

248
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 2: And I don't hold him accountable for it because he's

249
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 2: not capable of his brain don't work.

250
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,439
Speaker 1: But he shouldn't be president. That is very clear.

251
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 3: Wow, he had such an odd situation, and I'm sorry.

252
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 3: We've made the point already, I guess.

253
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 1: But I'm not outraged in the way I would not be.

254
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 3: No, I'm just just shocked.

255
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 2: But when he's in that mode like he was there,

256
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 2: what does Anthony blinkoln do when when he comes in

257
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 2: the Oval office, mister President, he just got off the

258
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,960
Speaker 2: phone with the Prime Minister of Israel. They're planning a

259
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 2: ground defensive, uh, and they're talking about Iran. What should

260
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 2: I tell him, Tell who Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister

261
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 2: of Israel, about what they were attacked round it was.

262
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 2: I mean, is it is Secretary of State Blincoln going

263
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 2: through that or is he just a bypassing the president

264
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 2: at this point? I wonder he might be and nobody knows.

265
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 2: It's weird man.

266
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:20,959
Speaker 1: I'll bet they're bypassing him. I'll bet they are too.

267
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 4: Uh.

268
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 2: Here's our text line four one five two nine five KFTC.

269
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:36,559
Speaker 2: If you're tweeting anti automation arguments instead of mailing them,

270
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 2: you're destroying mail carrier jobs.

271
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 1: About the whole straight dockworker thing.

272
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 2: And particularly and particularly if you're tweeting anti automation arguments

273
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 2: instead of mailing them, you're destroying male's carrier jobs.

274
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 1: Right.

275
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 2: So we we had called uh an end to the

276
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 2: funny songs and memes people had been putting together about

277
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 2: the eating cats and dogs because we we we thought

278
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:06,959
Speaker 2: we'd hit all the good ones and they had, they'd

279
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 2: ceased to amuse us.

280
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, it felt like it had come to its natural conclusion.

281
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 2: But Katie, uh says she's got another good one. Is

282
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 2: that true, Katie?

283
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 7: Yeah, So I brought us a couple of the ones

284
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 7: that you guys aired, and I believe Joe even said,

285
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 7: well that sucked one time, so exactly, I'm trying again.

286
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 1: I was in the uncharitable mood.

287
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 7: I apologize, okay, well, hopefully be charitable because I like

288
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 7: this one a lot.

289
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 8: Here we go, like it already nineteen eighty six a game.

290
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 9: The dogs there eating the cats there, the cats suck,

291
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 9: geople that live there, the dogs there eating the cats there,

292
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 9: the cats suck.

293
00:14:56,600 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 1: Definitely the most danceable of these. Please don't eat my cats?

294
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 1: Would you do that.

295
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 9: Else?

296
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 4: There you go, Please don't eat dog.

297
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 1: This is a good song. Timber Lakes got to do

298
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 1: this on his tour. There you go. The only thing

299
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 1: it's missing to me is the Trump voice, the actual

300
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 1: the actual Trump. But that I like. I like the

301
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 1: way that's put together. I would the.

302
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 7: Reason the reason there's no Trump voice is because he's

303
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 7: the one playing the horn in the song and the

304
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 7: music video.

305
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 1: You can't sing and play the horn at the same time.

306
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 1: I can vouch for that. It's going a lot.

307
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 2: Did you see the Duke's a Hazard thing with Trump

308
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 2: and JD Vans? Spectacular? It is and I was wondering

309
00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 2: how long it took somebody to put that together.

310
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 3: It was illegal in California for about three days as

311
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 3: lunkhead Gavin Newsom tried to outlaw parody.

312
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 1: Yeah.

313
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 2: I was just wondering how long it took somebody to

314
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 2: put that song together, Like if it was days or

315
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 2: like a half an hour, I don't really know. I

316
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 2: was watching my son, my youngest, got Photoshop on his

317
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 2: computer and he's messing around with that, and he was

318
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 2: showing me all this stuff he was doing with AI

319
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 2: with photos that. Because I haven't messed around.

320
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 1: With AI, I've got to.

321
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 2: But he was just like, you know, take a desert

322
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 2: scene and put a volts Wagon beatle in it, Okay,

323
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 2: and now put a put a skyscraper behind it, and

324
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 2: it just would show up there.

325
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 1: Yeah.

326
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 2: It make it a little smaller. Just the creative abilities now,

327
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 2: and it's so easy. It's stunning to me.

328
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's interesting. My daughter, who has a couple

329
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 3: of cats that try to escape sometimes, sent us a video,

330
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 3: funny tiktoki type video of a woman holding her cat

331
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 3: and yelling at the thing in Trump's voice.

332
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 1: They're eating the dogs, They're eating the cats.

333
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:06,879
Speaker 3: The caption is, you know how I'm scaring my cats

334
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 3: into staying in the house.

335
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 2: Warnings to sailors in San Diego, wait till you hear

336
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:17,479
Speaker 2: this story, Armstrong and Getty.

337
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:22,119
Speaker 10: Now everybody sees things different, and I respect your choice

338
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 10: as a fellow citizen, But like you, I've only got

339
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:30,359
Speaker 10: one vote. It's one of the most precious possessions that

340
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 10: I have. That's why come November fifth, I'll be casting

341
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 10: my vote for Conwell, Harris and Tim Walls. Thanks for listening.

342
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:44,920
Speaker 3: Born to run his mouth. Apparently that's Bruce Springsteen.

343
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 2: Well, he's been a millionaire since he was nineteen and

344
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 2: never had a real job. So good for him sitting

345
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 2: there in a diner and his flannel shirt and talking

346
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 2: about he knows who best represents the working man like

347
00:17:59,000 --> 00:17:59,680
Speaker 2: we all are.

348
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 3: What got a union card and a wedding colt you

349
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:10,399
Speaker 3: did when? Although I appreciate his saying, hey, maybe you

350
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:12,879
Speaker 3: see it differently than me, I respect that. You know what,

351
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 3: tip of the cap to you, jingle of the earring

352
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 3: to you?

353
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 1: Bruce.

354
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know how to look at these things

355
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 2: with the celebrities. I mean, because we don't have to

356
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 2: pay attention to him. It's the it's the media. Bruce

357
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,439
Speaker 2: Springsteen has made his endorsement and then they play it

358
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:30,119
Speaker 2: on you know, NBC or whatever.

359
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 1: Yes, so what what I mean?

360
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:37,119
Speaker 2: You want to you want to pick human beings that

361
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 2: have the least real life experience.

362
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 3: Bruce Springsteen would be way toward the top of the list.

363
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 3: He might be their king exactly. Yeah, no kidding. If

364
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 3: he endorsed a certain guitar string, I'd listen to that.

365
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 3: But anyway, thanks Bruce, appreciate it. Speaking of endorsements, I

366
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 3: thought this was interesting. The fairly big deal is being

367
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 3: made over this in some quarters. Over two hundred retired

368
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:04,440
Speaker 3: generals and admirals have endorsed Donald J. Trump for President

369
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 3: of the United States, saying, in part, Donald Trump is

370
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:11,119
Speaker 3: a proven track record of success providing the most fundamental

371
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:15,160
Speaker 3: responsibilities required of a US president, protecting national security domestic

372
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 3: safety in the US Constitution. Meanwhile, the current administration, led

373
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:21,119
Speaker 3: by the President and Vice President of the lot our

374
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:24,359
Speaker 3: nation to become insecure, our citizens unsafe, and our country

375
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 3: divided due to the culture war being waged across America

376
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 3: in the form of diversity, equity and inclusion. I actually

377
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:35,119
Speaker 3: am in a hearty agreement with this. These two hundred

378
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:36,440
Speaker 3: retired generals and admirals.

379
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 2: On the other hand, this came out as a response

380
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 2: to the two hundred generals and whoever that.

381
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:47,119
Speaker 1: Wrote a letter supporting Kamala Harris a couple days earlier,

382
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 1: precisely my point.

383
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, and we can get one hundred and seventy five

384
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 3: different ones to endorse Trump, then Kamala and just keep

385
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,200
Speaker 3: going if you want, until we're out of generals and admirals,

386
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 3: the same way we could come up with high No.

387
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 1: Fifty one intelligence.

388
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:07,399
Speaker 3: Professionals who agreed that the Hunter lapped up bears all

389
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 3: the signs of a Russian information campaign.

390
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:13,199
Speaker 2: Personally, I'm waiting until Bonjobi makes his decision and announces

391
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 2: his endorsement.

392
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:19,440
Speaker 3: Least John Mellencamp has spoken out. He's broken his silence.

393
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:23,440
Speaker 3: So anyway, I thought that was interesting. It won't get

394
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:26,880
Speaker 3: any coverage outside of conservative media right now. Now this

395
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 3: is more significant, and I wish, honestly we had the

396
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 3: time to read the whole thing and discuss it. Maybe

397
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,479
Speaker 3: we will seek out the author, one Elliott Ackerman, who

398
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 3: we've talked to before. He is the brilliant author, also

399
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 3: marine and veteran, who wrote the Fifth Act that incredibly

400
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 3: interesting book about the withdrawal from Afghanists.

401
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 2: One of my favorite audiobooks of all time, really really good.

402
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 2: If you want to understand warfare in the United States

403
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,400
Speaker 2: and then the modern era, that is the book for you.

404
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 1: Yeah.

405
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,400
Speaker 3: Elliot Ackerman is one of those people who the Good

406
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:08,159
Speaker 3: Lord gave many, many gifts. He's a retired marine who

407
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:10,440
Speaker 3: was awarded the Silver Star, the Bronze Star with Valor,

408
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 3: and the Purple Heart during his five deployments to Afghanistan

409
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:14,360
Speaker 3: and I rock.

410
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,159
Speaker 1: He's also brilliant and a great author. Anyway.

411
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:19,440
Speaker 3: The title of his piece for the Free Press recently

412
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 3: is the US is not ready for a modern war.

413
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:23,919
Speaker 1: Today.

414
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 3: A three thousand dollars drone can take out a ten

415
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:29,440
Speaker 3: million dollar tank. When will the American military learn that?

416
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 1: Lesson? He asks?

417
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:32,359
Speaker 3: And I'm just going to read you a couple of paragraphs,

418
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 3: he says. Two years ago, I was invited to lunch

419
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 3: in Washington with Gilman Louis, a tech venture capitalist. He

420
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:40,359
Speaker 3: was in town to discuss the passage of the Chips Act,

421
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 3: that fifty three billion dollar investment in US manufacturing our

422
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:49,159
Speaker 3: own computer chips were not dependent on China. He believed

423
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 3: that offshoring of tech manufacturing was a dire national security issue.

424
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:56,359
Speaker 3: His concerns were many, from the one I stated to

425
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:59,360
Speaker 3: China's navy having surpassed the size of our own. If

426
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 3: we ever had to fight World War three, the US

427
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:04,639
Speaker 3: would not be ready, he said. Although I shared Gilman's concerns,

428
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:06,480
Speaker 3: I told him I wasn't quite as worried as him.

429
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,399
Speaker 3: I repeated an argument had often heard from national security pros,

430
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 3: which was that the United States retained the upper hand

431
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 3: against any potential adversary because the truly exquisite technology, from

432
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 3: the iPhone to the chips developed by Nvidia to the

433
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:23,040
Speaker 3: breakthroughs that open AI did not occur in China or Russia,

434
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 3: but right here at home, and no adversary could compete

435
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 3: with us in the creation of exquisite technology. Here's where

436
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 3: it gets super interesting. Gilman listened patiently. Then he asked

437
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:37,160
Speaker 3: me a question. In the Second World War, which nation

438
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 3: produced the most exquisite technology? Because it wasn't the United States,

439
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:45,639
Speaker 3: it was Germany, he reminded me. Back then, American Sherman

440
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 3: tanks nicknamed flaming coffins by GI's, who proved no match

441
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 3: in one on one contests, when the German counterpart the

442
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:58,200
Speaker 3: Tiger tank the ponzer Kompfwagen, Both the fighter jet and

443
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 3: the long range ballistic missile and as that came later

444
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 3: in the war, weren't creations of the Allies but of Germany.

445
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 3: With a notable exception of the atom bomb, the Germans

446
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 3: were consistently the first to field what was then considered

447
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 3: exquisite technology. The problem for the Germans was that they

448
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 3: lacked industrial capacity.

449
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:15,439
Speaker 1: The Allies defeated the.

450
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:20,239
Speaker 3: Axis with inferior technology that could be mass produced, and

451
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 3: the conclusion, I'm sure you know where we're going with this.

452
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:24,879
Speaker 3: Today the United States finds itself in the position of

453
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 3: the Germans. We have divested ourselves of much of our

454
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:32,159
Speaker 3: industrial capacity. China, meanwhile, with thirty five percent of the

455
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 3: world's global manufacturing output, finds itself in the position that

456
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:39,399
Speaker 3: allowed the US to win the Second World War. And

457
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:41,679
Speaker 3: he goes into a bit of detail, and I don't

458
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:44,159
Speaker 3: think you'll be paywalled. We'll post a link at Armstrong

459
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:46,639
Speaker 3: and Getty dot com. If you're interested in the topic,

460
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:48,359
Speaker 3: you can read the whole thing. But he supports his

461
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 3: argument quite thoroughly with a number of different examples, including

462
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 3: the one that the sub had mentioned these ten million

463
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 3: dollars tanks that are being taken out by three thousand

464
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 3: dollars drone and the Abrams M one tank, which is

465
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:08,240
Speaker 3: an amazing piece of battlefield technology. I didn't know it

466
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:10,680
Speaker 3: requires two million dollars an annual maintenance.

467
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:13,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, that was part of the argument, and I

468
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 2: was just reading about this last night in David Sanger's

469
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:17,879
Speaker 2: New Cold Wars. That was part of the argument on

470
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 2: not getting the tanks to Ukraine when they're asking for them,

471
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 2: is there's just no way they could afford the maintenance.

472
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 2: They're very complicated to maintain. It costs a lot of money.

473
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 2: They're complicated to use that sort of thing.

474
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 1: Yeah.

475
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 3: So anyway, like I said, that's a concerning and really

476
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:38,120
Speaker 3: intriguing peace We'll link it under hot links at Armstrong

477
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 3: in getty dot com. Similar article, this time from the

478
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 3: Wall Street Journal at the world's largest shipyard, US courts

479
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 3: and ally to face up to China. South Korea offers

480
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 3: shipbuilding capacity know how in talent that rivals China, whose

481
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 3: maritime dominance is growing. And it's a similar story. We

482
00:24:56,840 --> 00:25:00,439
Speaker 3: have offshore in the name of global trade, which seemed

483
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:02,480
Speaker 3: like a good idea for a while, and aspects of

484
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 3: it still are. But we had offshore the very industrial

485
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:10,159
Speaker 3: capacity that wins wars. We can't build a fraction of

486
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 3: the ships we need at a fraction of the speed

487
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 3: we need to do it. We are on our hands

488
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 3: and knees begging South Korea, the number two ship builder

489
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:23,399
Speaker 3: in the world after China, to please build us some

490
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 3: ships while you're building yourself.

491
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:27,880
Speaker 1: Some ships, please, can you please?

492
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:33,680
Speaker 2: And we have the least modern docks in the world

493
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 2: of advanced countries, which we all learned through the longshoreman

494
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:41,560
Speaker 2: strike this week, and the longshoreman won their deal.

495
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:42,919
Speaker 1: Yeah.

496
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I'm trying to find the figures on the

497
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,399
Speaker 3: vastly greater expense of building the same ship in the

498
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:55,160
Speaker 3: US versus in South Korea or anywhere else on Earth

499
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:57,640
Speaker 3: for that manager for that matter.

500
00:25:57,760 --> 00:25:58,879
Speaker 1: Rather I'm sor I'm reading all.

501
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:01,399
Speaker 3: I'm talking China, South in Japan cheer out ships that

502
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:04,200
Speaker 3: account for more than ninety percent of the world's tonnage

503
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:07,639
Speaker 3: ninety percent, the US bills two tenths of a percent.

504
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:11,920
Speaker 3: Do we have the industrial capacity to win a major conflict?

505
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:13,920
Speaker 1: No, not even close.

506
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 3: Well, now we might be able to fire it up

507
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:18,879
Speaker 3: and adapt our current technology the way we did in

508
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 3: World War Two. You know, car plants became tank plants.

509
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:24,400
Speaker 3: But we have at the time.

510
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:24,720
Speaker 1: Got to admit.

511
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:28,439
Speaker 2: That's what I'm always hoping is that just as the

512
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 2: third biggest population on Earth and the biggest economy by

513
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 2: quite a lot, we can ramp up early quickly, I hope.

514
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:37,160
Speaker 1: Well.

515
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 3: The good news is this, the very dei programs that

516
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:45,919
Speaker 3: we began the segment talking about are bearing some fabulous fruit.

517
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:50,440
Speaker 3: The US Navy has unveiled its first gender integrated submarine.

518
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 3: We now have girls on our submarines. Because the United

519
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 3: States Military is a jobs program and a social experimentation lab.

520
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:04,639
Speaker 2: Right, the most important thing is not being the most dominant.

521
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 1: Military power on Earth. It's being the fairest to everyone,

522
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:09,680
Speaker 1: the most enlightened. Yes.

523
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 3: Yes, And one final note about the United States Military

524
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:16,919
Speaker 3: and all of its awesomeness. This is outrageous to me,

525
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:19,399
Speaker 3: and I don't want the show to be all outrage.

526
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:21,680
Speaker 3: I don't think this segment has been an age. It's

527
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:22,400
Speaker 3: concerned anger.

528
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:24,360
Speaker 2: I'm angry, and I want to carry that anger over

529
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 2: to everyone that could listen.

530
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:28,879
Speaker 3: Jack is outraged by my lack of outrage, Yes, but

531
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:33,439
Speaker 3: I am so mad. I am actually outraged by this.

532
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 3: This is a warning to sailors United States Navy personnel

533
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 3: in the San Diego, California area. All of these pro

534
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:49,359
Speaker 3: Palestinian pro Hamas Islamist tied groups and the soft headed

535
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 3: jackasses that support them have called for a week of

536
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:56,960
Speaker 3: rage calls for action across the United States. Some events

537
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 3: may occur in the in the San Diego region. The

538
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 3: Navy is close involved with protecting Israel from hesbela eran Hamas,

539
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:05,960
Speaker 3: et cetera, and some of the anger related to the

540
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:09,359
Speaker 3: protests will likely be directed at the US military, so

541
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 3: members should strongly be advised against being out in uniform

542
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 3: in the vicinity of protest activity, or wearing things someone

543
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:21,120
Speaker 3: could tie them to the military simply to avoid unwanted attention.

544
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:27,160
Speaker 3: We are warning our service personnel. Don't be in uniform,

545
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 3: don't wear a hat, don't let anybody know you are

546
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,640
Speaker 3: serving the United States, because you might be in danger

547
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:37,119
Speaker 3: in the United States. Are you effing kidding me?

548
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 1: That's something?

549
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 3: Why are we sending out a warning to these Marxists

550
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 3: and Islamists and whatever the misguided college idiots are. If

551
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 3: you lift a hand against one of our service members.

552
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 3: Because they're in the service, you will see the inside

553
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 3: of a federal penitentiary, and the arrest process probably.

554
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 1: Won't be as gentle as you're used to either. Why

555
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 1: are we not warning them exactly, which I'm sure you could.

556
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 1: I don't know.

557
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 2: Actually know the laws, But there's got to be some

558
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 2: sort of political terrorism or something, or if for reasons

559
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 2: of politics you're attacking people in our military, but whatever, Yeah,

560
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 2: the threats should be to Hey, I wouldn't do that

561
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 2: if I were you. Here's what will happen as opposed

562
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 2: to you.

563
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 10: Better.

564
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 2: If you're in the Navy, you better probably wear your

565
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 2: civilian clothes and kind of hide that and don't mention

566
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 2: that to anybody, because the angry college kids are out

567
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 2: and well, you know.

568
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 3: The Antifa types might beat you to death or certainly unconscious.

569
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:39,120
Speaker 3: I want a poster on every light pole in San

570
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 3: Diego on the sailor kissing the woman, which seems like

571
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 3: toxic masculinity to me. By the way, I want to

572
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:48,320
Speaker 3: sign everywhere saying if you threaten a US surface member,

573
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 3: you're in violation of federal code whatever it is, and

574
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 3: you will serve up to ten years in prison, and

575
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 3: we will prosecute you, prosecute you. We have lost the confidence,

576
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 3: the posit save energy of the need to defend this

577
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 3: country and Western civilization in general. We have been cowed

578
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 3: into this bizarre self hatred by the radical left in academia.

579
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:14,320
Speaker 1: And I won't have it. Who's with me? I know

580
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:16,239
Speaker 1: you probably are. I will cripple you.

581
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 2: Monday is the one year anniversary of October seventh, and

582
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:23,720
Speaker 2: it will be interesting to see the op eds in

583
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 2: the newspapers and what politicians have to say and how

584
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 2: they handle it on the Sunday talk shows and all

585
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 2: that sort of thing.

586
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 3: Oh and what Yale has said about October seventh to

587
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 3: its Jewish students may make you want to I don't know,

588
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 3: rain blows upon their unholy heads. Bruce Springs, not the

589
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:44,840
Speaker 3: Jewish students, the faculty, I should say.

590
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 2: Bruce Springsteen announced who he's endorsing, and they use that

591
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 2: at a tease going into the news. It's like the

592
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:53,240
Speaker 2: other day when The New York Times is going to

593
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:57,480
Speaker 2: announce tomorrow who the editorial board chooses for the presidential candidate. Yeah,

594
00:30:57,560 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 2: I have a feeling they're going to go with the

595
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 2: Democrat and when Bruce did too, I'll be darned.

596
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 1: Oh god, jeez.

597
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 2: Really, and I don't think I've heard anywhere about Elon

598
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:12,040
Speaker 2: Musk coming out for Donald Trump other than like here.

599
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 1: Or you know, rightly, What the.

600
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:18,480
Speaker 3: Hell does Elon Musk know about the world and how

601
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 3: it works compared to a Bruce Springsteen.

602
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:25,960
Speaker 2: Elon out with quite the tweet today. He's going to

603
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 2: be in Bethel, Pennsylvania tomorrow. Trump's going back there for

604
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:31,960
Speaker 2: a rally, first time since he got shot there, and

605
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 2: Elon's gonna be there, which is something. But Elon put

606
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:36,960
Speaker 2: out quite the tweet. We ought to read to you,

607
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:37,960
Speaker 2: among other things on.

608
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 1: The way Armstrong, a number of stories we haven't gotten

609
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 1: to yet, start with this. Elon Musk tweeted this out today.

610
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 2: And he gets no attention in the mainstream media.

611
00:31:57,160 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 1: I know they hate him, but his world's richest man, and.

612
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:07,960
Speaker 3: That doesn't mean we have to platform him owns Twitter.

613
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:08,840
Speaker 1: I mean, if.

614
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:14,760
Speaker 2: What's his name, Jeff Bezos was still the world's richest

615
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 2: man and was getting this involved in the presidential race

616
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 2: on the side of Kamala Harris. His every quip would

617
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:27,520
Speaker 2: make the evening newscast about Kamala Harris anyway, elon Musk.

618
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:31,160
Speaker 2: Today the Dems are doing deliberate voter importation to swing

619
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 2: states and fast tracking them to citizenship. The only question

620
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 2: is when, not if, enough migrants can vote to flip

621
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:40,280
Speaker 2: all swing states, shifting the whole country to permanent one

622
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:42,960
Speaker 2: party rule, just like what happened to California after the

623
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 2: nineteen eighty six amnesty. Diabolically smart, to be honest, That's

624
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 2: why I keep saying that unless Trump wins and reverses

625
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:52,600
Speaker 2: a scam, twenty twenty four is the last election in America.

626
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 1: That's some pretty strong talk.

627
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that is a much more more logically reasonable

628
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:05,960
