0:00:02.000 --> 0:00:06.240
<v Speaker 1>Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

0:00:06.360 --> 0:00:10.880
<v Speaker 1>Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty arm Strong

0:00:10.920 --> 0:00:17.400
<v Speaker 1>and Getty and he Armstrong and Yetty.

0:00:25.079 --> 0:00:28.840
<v Speaker 2>My kid's school has homecoming, so he's all excited about

0:00:28.840 --> 0:00:31.479
<v Speaker 2>that tonight. I'm gonna wear one of my one of

0:00:31.480 --> 0:00:33.080
<v Speaker 2>my shirts, one of my ties, and one of my

0:00:33.159 --> 0:00:34.560
<v Speaker 2>jackets because he's the same size.

0:00:34.600 --> 0:00:39.240
<v Speaker 3>So I remember those days, those heady days of raiding

0:00:39.280 --> 0:00:41.120
<v Speaker 3>my dad's closet good time.

0:00:41.240 --> 0:00:43.240
<v Speaker 1>I was never close to my dad's size.

0:00:43.360 --> 0:00:47.200
<v Speaker 2>It's so different because my son has reached grown man

0:00:47.720 --> 0:00:51.120
<v Speaker 2>at thirteen, and I wasn't a grown man till I

0:00:51.120 --> 0:00:54.840
<v Speaker 2>was like twenty five. So it's just just a different

0:00:54.880 --> 0:00:57.880
<v Speaker 2>world than what I had. I can't even imagine.

0:00:58.000 --> 0:00:58.080
<v Speaker 4>Hi.

0:00:58.200 --> 0:01:00.600
<v Speaker 1>Hi, everybody is like a sophomore high school. It was

0:01:00.640 --> 0:01:04.520
<v Speaker 1>like ninety pounds. Wow. Yeah, very different. Yeah, my son

0:01:04.600 --> 0:01:08.520
<v Speaker 1>is shaving and wearing my clothes. That's a very low voice.

0:01:09.400 --> 0:01:13.600
<v Speaker 2>He's a dock worker, he's a doc worker. In Uh,

0:01:13.840 --> 0:01:15.479
<v Speaker 2>was that indubitably incredibly?

0:01:15.520 --> 0:01:16.680
<v Speaker 1>What was that particular?

0:01:16.800 --> 0:01:21.920
<v Speaker 2>In particularly in particularly so the thing that I need

0:01:21.959 --> 0:01:24.560
<v Speaker 2>to remember and everyone should remember about the presidential election

0:01:24.600 --> 0:01:27.720
<v Speaker 2>when we're hearing all this different stuff is nothing matters

0:01:28.800 --> 0:01:33.280
<v Speaker 2>at all except for the undecided voters in a handful

0:01:33.319 --> 0:01:33.840
<v Speaker 2>of states.

0:01:34.800 --> 0:01:38.720
<v Speaker 1>That's all that matters. So any other talk nationally doesn't matter.

0:01:39.040 --> 0:01:42.200
<v Speaker 2>Any talk about all of the voters that have made

0:01:42.280 --> 0:01:45.240
<v Speaker 2>up their mind, which is like ninety five percent of people,

0:01:47.400 --> 0:01:51.040
<v Speaker 2>doesn't matter. It's just the handful of people who could

0:01:51.040 --> 0:01:54.040
<v Speaker 2>go either way in the swing states, which is really

0:01:54.040 --> 0:01:59.040
<v Speaker 2>really interesting. And that's why maybe this storm, the Hurricane Helene,

0:01:59.160 --> 0:02:01.640
<v Speaker 2>becomes a really really big deal because one of the

0:02:01.680 --> 0:02:04.160
<v Speaker 2>swing states that could make all the difference in the world,

0:02:04.160 --> 0:02:07.680
<v Speaker 2>in North Carolina, just got pummeled. As you if you've

0:02:07.680 --> 0:02:11.280
<v Speaker 2>been watching the news, it's horrifying. God dang it. People

0:02:11.360 --> 0:02:15.200
<v Speaker 2>standing on roofs and not getting rescued, standing on roofs

0:02:15.400 --> 0:02:18.760
<v Speaker 2>waving to helicopters, but one doesn't get there in time

0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:21.160
<v Speaker 2>and they die. Next time a helicopter comes by, the

0:02:21.200 --> 0:02:22.120
<v Speaker 2>eighth there no more.

0:02:22.880 --> 0:02:27.799
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's gruesome. Off the map, just unbelievable.

0:02:27.880 --> 0:02:30.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so you're gonna hear from Joe Biden, who said

0:02:30.480 --> 0:02:33.000
<v Speaker 2>this like in the last hour or so, and then

0:02:33.000 --> 0:02:35.600
<v Speaker 2>you're gonna hear from a guy who's actually there dealing

0:02:35.639 --> 0:02:35.880
<v Speaker 2>with it.

0:02:36.360 --> 0:02:36.600
<v Speaker 1>Uh.

0:02:36.760 --> 0:02:42.040
<v Speaker 2>First, here's a reporter asking our senile old president about

0:02:42.480 --> 0:02:45.200
<v Speaker 2>how well the government's response is to the storm.

0:02:45.520 --> 0:02:48.000
<v Speaker 5>What does the states the storm zone need, mister President,

0:02:49.160 --> 0:02:50.880
<v Speaker 5>What are the states of the storm zone? What do

0:02:50.919 --> 0:02:52.600
<v Speaker 5>they need after what you saw today.

0:02:54.480 --> 0:02:57.840
<v Speaker 1>On the storm zone? Yet, sir, what stormerslving of?

0:02:59.160 --> 0:02:59.280
<v Speaker 4>Uh?

0:03:00.120 --> 0:03:01.080
<v Speaker 1>Don't have any that they need.

0:03:02.160 --> 0:03:04.000
<v Speaker 4>They're very happy off the board.

0:03:05.760 --> 0:03:09.040
<v Speaker 2>Holy gos, Oh the storm zone. I didn't know what

0:03:09.240 --> 0:03:12.640
<v Speaker 2>storm you were talking about. What how about the one

0:03:12.680 --> 0:03:16.200
<v Speaker 2>that's in the news all day every day, one of

0:03:16.200 --> 0:03:18.959
<v Speaker 2>the biggest storms probably gonna end up being the deadliest

0:03:19.040 --> 0:03:20.360
<v Speaker 2>hurricane in US history.

0:03:21.240 --> 0:03:21.760
<v Speaker 1>That one.

0:03:21.919 --> 0:03:24.360
<v Speaker 2>That's the storm the guy's asking you about. Oh, I

0:03:24.400 --> 0:03:26.880
<v Speaker 2>didn't know what storm you're asking me about. Oh, it's

0:03:26.919 --> 0:03:31.240
<v Speaker 2>going great. They're getting everything they need. Everybody's happy. Okay,

0:03:31.240 --> 0:03:34.160
<v Speaker 2>here I'm stunned. Let's hear from a guy who ain't happy.

0:03:34.639 --> 0:03:36.880
<v Speaker 4>Here's the problem. I'm gonna tell you everything that's happening

0:03:37.120 --> 0:03:39.760
<v Speaker 4>from the ground one I'm actually seeing, because what they're

0:03:39.800 --> 0:03:42.520
<v Speaker 4>telling you is complete board news, and these politicians don't

0:03:42.720 --> 0:03:45.440
<v Speaker 4>fluting their line. I'll say this now, I'll say it.

0:03:45.520 --> 0:03:46.000
<v Speaker 1>In the video.

0:03:46.120 --> 0:03:50.280
<v Speaker 4>The only thing I need from this video is helicopters.

0:03:50.640 --> 0:03:54.800
<v Speaker 4>If I have helicopters, I can save lives. Without helicopters,

0:03:54.880 --> 0:03:57.080
<v Speaker 4>I can't reach these people. It doesn't matter how many

0:03:57.160 --> 0:03:59.440
<v Speaker 4>chainsaws and trucks I got, I can't get to them.

0:03:59.480 --> 0:04:02.520
<v Speaker 4>They're ten twenty miles forty miles in the mountains. There's

0:04:02.640 --> 0:04:05.240
<v Speaker 4>no way to get with them or even communicate with them.

0:04:05.560 --> 0:04:09.680
<v Speaker 4>I am literally flying around in a civilian helicopter looking

0:04:09.680 --> 0:04:12.600
<v Speaker 4>for SOS messages carved in the mud or painting on

0:04:12.600 --> 0:04:15.360
<v Speaker 4>the ground, and we're dropping down and saving them.

0:04:15.680 --> 0:04:15.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:04:15.880 --> 0:04:18.160
<v Speaker 2>I saw a NASCAR driver who's so wealthy he has

0:04:18.480 --> 0:04:20.680
<v Speaker 2>his own helicopter who's flying around trying to pick people

0:04:20.720 --> 0:04:23.560
<v Speaker 2>up yesterday. Let's hear a little bit more from this gentleman,

0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:25.800
<v Speaker 2>and then we'll revisit Joe Biden here once again what

0:04:25.839 --> 0:04:26.520
<v Speaker 2>he had to say about.

0:04:27.000 --> 0:04:28.560
<v Speaker 4>Hey everyone, I just want to thank you for all

0:04:28.560 --> 0:04:31.400
<v Speaker 4>the support and sharing that video. That did exactly what

0:04:31.400 --> 0:04:32.680
<v Speaker 4>it was intended to do, and that was.

0:04:32.680 --> 0:04:33.320
<v Speaker 1>To go viral.

0:04:33.760 --> 0:04:35.960
<v Speaker 4>It also brought us a lot of helicopter support from

0:04:36.000 --> 0:04:38.440
<v Speaker 4>the private sector on the civilian side. So we're going

0:04:38.480 --> 0:04:40.720
<v Speaker 4>to put those helicopters to work and go save lives.

0:04:40.839 --> 0:04:42.440
<v Speaker 4>We should be out flying right now. But me and

0:04:42.560 --> 0:04:45.000
<v Speaker 4>Charlie are sitting here on the ground waiting for a

0:04:45.080 --> 0:04:46.039
<v Speaker 4>helicopters to get back.

0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:47.920
<v Speaker 1>But we won't be able to go out probably till.

0:04:47.800 --> 0:04:51.200
<v Speaker 4>Later this afternoon because Joe Biden is flying in and

0:04:51.200 --> 0:04:54.200
<v Speaker 4>they put up a temporary flight restriction in this entire area.

0:04:54.440 --> 0:04:58.120
<v Speaker 4>We had good weather, but because of politics, we can't

0:04:58.160 --> 0:05:01.080
<v Speaker 4>go do our job right now because somebody wants to

0:05:01.120 --> 0:05:03.960
<v Speaker 4>come here and shake hands and kiss babies and tape

0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:06.640
<v Speaker 4>video that he actually pretends like he cares.

0:05:06.960 --> 0:05:10.320
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, they've grounded the helicopters that are rescuing people.

0:05:10.839 --> 0:05:15.320
<v Speaker 2>Oh Lord, to protect the president flying in. Let's hear

0:05:15.360 --> 0:05:17.039
<v Speaker 2>the president again when he got interviewed just a little

0:05:17.080 --> 0:05:17.400
<v Speaker 2>bit ago.

0:05:17.680 --> 0:05:20.120
<v Speaker 5>What do the states the storm zone need, mister President?

0:05:21.320 --> 0:05:23.039
<v Speaker 5>What are the states and the storm zone? What do

0:05:23.080 --> 0:05:26.680
<v Speaker 5>they need after what you saw today? I'm how on

0:05:26.760 --> 0:05:28.239
<v Speaker 5>the storm zone get there?

0:05:28.600 --> 0:05:30.159
<v Speaker 4>I'm learning what storm you're talking about.

0:05:31.200 --> 0:05:33.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, they that never they need.

0:05:34.279 --> 0:05:36.679
<v Speaker 4>They're very happy about the board.

0:05:38.160 --> 0:05:38.600
<v Speaker 1>I just.

0:05:40.080 --> 0:05:46.520
<v Speaker 3>This ought to be a Watergate style scandal slash conversation

0:05:46.760 --> 0:05:57.520
<v Speaker 3>slash reporting frenzy. The idea that George Bush got pilloried

0:05:57.600 --> 0:06:00.640
<v Speaker 3>for saying, Brownie, you're doing a hell of a job, right,

0:06:02.080 --> 0:06:05.120
<v Speaker 3>I mean, they are so utterly dishonest and biased.

0:06:05.160 --> 0:06:08.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I know you know that, but I am

0:06:08.320 --> 0:06:09.480
<v Speaker 1>actually shocked by this.

0:06:10.120 --> 0:06:13.120
<v Speaker 2>The weird thing that I wouldn't have guessed when this

0:06:13.240 --> 0:06:18.279
<v Speaker 2>was unfolding is Joe Biden deciding not to run has

0:06:18.440 --> 0:06:28.400
<v Speaker 2>like inoculated him against the normal poll and tug of politics.

0:06:28.440 --> 0:06:31.280
<v Speaker 2>It's like, well, it doesn't matter anymore. So he's not

0:06:31.320 --> 0:06:33.719
<v Speaker 2>one of the candidates, so he can be as incompetent

0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:37.479
<v Speaker 2>or non existent or wrong or whatever's he wants to be.

0:06:37.520 --> 0:06:39.440
<v Speaker 2>It's just not really a story because he's not one

0:06:39.480 --> 0:06:42.640
<v Speaker 2>of the candidates. So why he's the president of the

0:06:42.760 --> 0:06:43.479
<v Speaker 2>United States?

0:06:44.320 --> 0:06:47.600
<v Speaker 3>Right, Well, everybody's so fixated on electoral politics for one thing.

0:06:47.640 --> 0:06:50.240
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, it's like a memo from the job that

0:06:50.279 --> 0:06:52.960
<v Speaker 3>you're going to be gone from next Friday.

0:06:53.560 --> 0:06:57.599
<v Speaker 1>You don't care whatever. That's wild. After hearing that clip,

0:06:57.640 --> 0:06:59.919
<v Speaker 1>he's not running our country. I don't even think he

0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:02.440
<v Speaker 1>what was going on at all? Well, how does he say?

0:07:02.839 --> 0:07:05.240
<v Speaker 2>I understand that he didn't hear this question quite because

0:07:05.240 --> 0:07:08.160
<v Speaker 2>it's always loud everywhere because he doesn't like do press

0:07:08.200 --> 0:07:10.760
<v Speaker 2>conferences or interviews because he can't I don't know why

0:07:10.800 --> 0:07:14.200
<v Speaker 2>he stops by helicopters to he can't hear as it is,

0:07:14.600 --> 0:07:15.560
<v Speaker 2>what's standing.

0:07:15.320 --> 0:07:18.800
<v Speaker 1>Next to a helicopter? What do the what with the what?

0:07:18.840 --> 0:07:20.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean, what does he going through this for?

0:07:20.600 --> 0:07:22.880
<v Speaker 2>But anyway, when he finally oh the storm, I didn't

0:07:22.880 --> 0:07:24.440
<v Speaker 2>know what storm you were talking about.

0:07:25.440 --> 0:07:27.280
<v Speaker 3>Uh huh.

0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:29.559
<v Speaker 1>Everybody's happy across the board.

0:07:29.640 --> 0:07:33.120
<v Speaker 2>Everybody's happy. It's everything, get everything they need. Everybody's happy

0:07:33.120 --> 0:07:35.880
<v Speaker 2>across the board, which is just why knee jerk. My

0:07:36.040 --> 0:07:39.000
<v Speaker 2>brain barely works anymore. It's it's stuck in there somewhere

0:07:39.040 --> 0:07:42.200
<v Speaker 2>for being a politician my whole life. I just regularly say,

0:07:42.320 --> 0:07:44.920
<v Speaker 2>everybody's happy and everything's great.

0:07:45.440 --> 0:07:47.800
<v Speaker 3>So why is the air Nott sick with National Guard

0:07:47.840 --> 0:07:49.200
<v Speaker 3>helicopters right now?

0:07:49.360 --> 0:07:50.280
<v Speaker 1>What is going on?

0:07:51.280 --> 0:07:53.960
<v Speaker 3>You know that the state has a responsibility there too,

0:07:54.040 --> 0:07:58.040
<v Speaker 3>But the idea that they can't get helicopters then they

0:07:58.040 --> 0:08:00.880
<v Speaker 3>finally do and they're all grounded because President's doing his

0:08:01.040 --> 0:08:02.720
<v Speaker 3>photo op is obscene.

0:08:03.040 --> 0:08:09.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean that is murderous. Well, when you have.

0:08:10.320 --> 0:08:13.800
<v Speaker 2>Private citizens who happen to have helicopters, I don't know

0:08:13.800 --> 0:08:14.480
<v Speaker 2>who you are.

0:08:17.280 --> 0:08:21.000
<v Speaker 1>Coming in. Obviously, it's something that's doable.

0:08:21.080 --> 0:08:24.800
<v Speaker 2>It's doable to bring a helicopter in and rescue some

0:08:24.840 --> 0:08:28.040
<v Speaker 2>of these people, and it's a private citizen thing.

0:08:29.280 --> 0:08:32.440
<v Speaker 3>Well, the department is under the brave leadership of this fellow.

0:08:32.480 --> 0:08:34.079
<v Speaker 3>Give us forty three, Michael, would you.

0:08:34.960 --> 0:08:39.720
<v Speaker 6>We are meeting the immediate needs with the money that

0:08:39.800 --> 0:08:44.000
<v Speaker 6>we have. We are expecting another hurricane hitting. We do

0:08:44.120 --> 0:08:46.720
<v Speaker 6>not have the funds. FEMA does not have the funds

0:08:47.320 --> 0:08:48.800
<v Speaker 6>to make it through the season.

0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:53.680
<v Speaker 2>There's still two hundred people missing in that one county

0:08:53.679 --> 0:08:54.600
<v Speaker 2>in North Carolina.

0:08:54.800 --> 0:08:57.880
<v Speaker 1>Now hopefully, you know a.

0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:02.200
<v Speaker 2>Lot of them are okay, and they just you know,

0:09:02.840 --> 0:09:07.679
<v Speaker 2>haven't been too concerned with checking in with whoever counts names,

0:09:08.080 --> 0:09:10.160
<v Speaker 2>because they're just trying to figure out what am I

0:09:10.200 --> 0:09:12.079
<v Speaker 2>gonna eat and what am I gonna wear? And where

0:09:12.080 --> 0:09:14.560
<v Speaker 2>am I gonna stay tonight? Right, But there's a decent

0:09:14.640 --> 0:09:15.600
<v Speaker 2>chance a lot of them are dead.

0:09:20.120 --> 0:09:20.360
<v Speaker 1>Man.

0:09:20.440 --> 0:09:22.760
<v Speaker 2>That was the worst answer we've had from a president

0:09:22.800 --> 0:09:23.760
<v Speaker 2>in a long time.

0:09:24.480 --> 0:09:30.560
<v Speaker 1>I mean, just a complete lack of you know, uh.

0:09:30.720 --> 0:09:33.280
<v Speaker 2>And he's he's the old Joe compassion and so much

0:09:33.280 --> 0:09:34.600
<v Speaker 2>compassion for everybody.

0:09:34.280 --> 0:09:34.640
<v Speaker 1>All the time.

0:09:34.760 --> 0:09:37.880
<v Speaker 2>He's lost that ability apparently because he didn't even he

0:09:37.960 --> 0:09:42.480
<v Speaker 2>didn't even give the It's tough what those people are

0:09:42.480 --> 0:09:44.600
<v Speaker 2>going through. I've been watching on the news. I'm following

0:09:44.720 --> 0:09:47.200
<v Speaker 2>on a minute by minute basis with this department and

0:09:47.240 --> 0:09:49.280
<v Speaker 2>that department, and you throw out some names.

0:09:49.080 --> 0:09:51.480
<v Speaker 3>Of people today, instructed them to give them blah blah

0:09:51.520 --> 0:09:52.000
<v Speaker 3>blah blah.

0:09:52.080 --> 0:09:54.560
<v Speaker 2>Right, he couldn't do the normal thing. Just what I

0:09:54.559 --> 0:09:56.600
<v Speaker 2>didn't know what Stormy you're talking about. Oh, they got

0:09:56.600 --> 0:09:57.240
<v Speaker 2>everything they need.

0:09:57.240 --> 0:10:00.520
<v Speaker 3>Everyone's happy across the board, I think, and this is

0:10:00.760 --> 0:10:04.400
<v Speaker 3>very troubling. Part of the reason people aren't taking it

0:10:04.640 --> 0:10:09.280
<v Speaker 3>seriously that a president said something so idiotic and abhorrent

0:10:09.800 --> 0:10:13.199
<v Speaker 3>is that everybody accepts he's so senile. He can't be

0:10:13.320 --> 0:10:16.760
<v Speaker 3>held to account for the things he says. The fact

0:10:16.760 --> 0:10:19.640
<v Speaker 3>that he is the leader of the free world is terrifying.

0:10:19.960 --> 0:10:25.080
<v Speaker 3>It's almost it's almost funny. It's so absurd, it's almost

0:10:25.320 --> 0:10:30.559
<v Speaker 3>funny because, I mean, his the incoherence and insensitivity and

0:10:30.600 --> 0:10:33.800
<v Speaker 3>stupidity they have answer is easily explained. He's too senile

0:10:33.880 --> 0:10:35.600
<v Speaker 3>to know better. At this point, I think you're right.

0:10:35.880 --> 0:10:37.600
<v Speaker 3>Still in the oval of office.

0:10:37.360 --> 0:10:37.959
<v Speaker 1>I think you're right.

0:10:38.000 --> 0:10:41.240
<v Speaker 2>I think that's where the media and the population is.

0:10:41.240 --> 0:10:43.320
<v Speaker 1>It's just like, well, you know, he doesn't know what

0:10:43.360 --> 0:10:43.800
<v Speaker 1>he's saying.

0:10:43.880 --> 0:10:48.599
<v Speaker 3>So I think at this point Kamala Harris ought to

0:10:48.640 --> 0:10:51.320
<v Speaker 3>be the president. I mean, she's a moron, but at

0:10:51.400 --> 0:10:52.800
<v Speaker 3>least she's compassmentous.

0:10:53.360 --> 0:10:58.400
<v Speaker 2>Well, right, I would bet money that that's what history

0:10:58.559 --> 0:11:02.440
<v Speaker 2>will decide, and maybe fairly soon is it, when all

0:11:02.480 --> 0:11:04.240
<v Speaker 2>the stories come out, it will be Oh my god,

0:11:04.440 --> 0:11:07.440
<v Speaker 2>somebody else should have been in charge that last six

0:11:07.480 --> 0:11:08.160
<v Speaker 2>months year.

0:11:10.679 --> 0:11:11.400
<v Speaker 1>That was a horror.

0:11:12.000 --> 0:11:14.440
<v Speaker 3>Three more months of this guy with the world in

0:11:14.480 --> 0:11:17.000
<v Speaker 3>the state that it's in. Anybody else feel like they're

0:11:17.000 --> 0:11:17.960
<v Speaker 3>on the edge of their seat?

0:11:18.679 --> 0:11:23.520
<v Speaker 1>Wow? Yeah, why not one more time? This is pretty good.

0:11:24.040 --> 0:11:26.520
<v Speaker 5>What do the states the storm zone need, mister President?

0:11:27.679 --> 0:11:29.440
<v Speaker 5>What are the states and the storm zone? What do

0:11:29.440 --> 0:11:34.400
<v Speaker 5>they need after what you saw today on the storm zone? Yes, sir,

0:11:34.960 --> 0:11:38.880
<v Speaker 5>I'm learning what storm you're talking about. Yeah, they don't

0:11:38.880 --> 0:11:41.800
<v Speaker 5>everything they need. They're very happy.

0:11:41.800 --> 0:11:42.520
<v Speaker 4>Golf the board.

0:11:42.880 --> 0:11:44.840
<v Speaker 2>I think I'm picking up the context. So this is

0:11:45.000 --> 0:11:49.000
<v Speaker 2>after he visited. So a reporter asked him after he visited,

0:11:49.360 --> 0:11:51.720
<v Speaker 2>what did you see today in the storm zone?

0:11:51.960 --> 0:11:55.280
<v Speaker 1>The what the storm zone? I don't know what storm

0:11:55.320 --> 0:11:56.239
<v Speaker 1>you're talking about.

0:11:56.040 --> 0:11:59.760
<v Speaker 2>The one you just spent the day visiting that storm?

0:12:00.160 --> 0:12:03.320
<v Speaker 3>Oh my god, with the devastation and the dead people

0:12:03.360 --> 0:12:04.440
<v Speaker 3>in the towns that are gone.

0:12:04.480 --> 0:12:06.160
<v Speaker 2>I'm the hole looking out the window at the water,

0:12:06.240 --> 0:12:08.040
<v Speaker 2>and then you hug some people. You remember that whole

0:12:08.040 --> 0:12:10.280
<v Speaker 2>thing today, that storm. I didn't know what storm you

0:12:10.280 --> 0:12:14.760
<v Speaker 2>were talking about. Now, everybody's happy across the board. What

0:12:14.880 --> 0:12:16.840
<v Speaker 2>an awful thing to say when people have died anyway.

0:12:16.840 --> 0:12:18.840
<v Speaker 2>I mean, he shouldn't be thrown around. People are happy

0:12:18.840 --> 0:12:21.120
<v Speaker 2>across the board no matter what.

0:12:22.280 --> 0:12:23.679
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'm sorry, I'm just stunned.

0:12:23.720 --> 0:12:26.400
<v Speaker 3>That is one of the worst things I've ever heard.

0:12:26.160 --> 0:12:28.520
<v Speaker 2>And I don't hold him accountable for it because he's

0:12:28.559 --> 0:12:31.120
<v Speaker 2>not capable of his brain don't work.

0:12:31.120 --> 0:12:33.439
<v Speaker 1>But he shouldn't be president. That is very clear.

0:12:34.679 --> 0:12:37.880
<v Speaker 3>Wow, he had such an odd situation, and I'm sorry.

0:12:37.880 --> 0:12:39.160
<v Speaker 3>We've made the point already, I guess.

0:12:39.160 --> 0:12:41.760
<v Speaker 1>But I'm not outraged in the way I would not be.

0:12:41.960 --> 0:12:44.800
<v Speaker 3>No, I'm just just shocked.

0:12:44.960 --> 0:12:47.080
<v Speaker 2>But when he's in that mode like he was there,

0:12:47.480 --> 0:12:50.600
<v Speaker 2>what does Anthony blinkoln do when when he comes in

0:12:50.640 --> 0:12:52.560
<v Speaker 2>the Oval office, mister President, he just got off the

0:12:52.559 --> 0:12:55.960
<v Speaker 2>phone with the Prime Minister of Israel. They're planning a

0:12:55.960 --> 0:12:59.600
<v Speaker 2>ground defensive, uh, and they're talking about Iran. What should

0:12:59.600 --> 0:13:04.840
<v Speaker 2>I tell him, Tell who Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister

0:13:04.920 --> 0:13:08.200
<v Speaker 2>of Israel, about what they were attacked round it was.

0:13:08.720 --> 0:13:11.040
<v Speaker 2>I mean, is it is Secretary of State Blincoln going

0:13:11.040 --> 0:13:13.640
<v Speaker 2>through that or is he just a bypassing the president

0:13:13.679 --> 0:13:17.720
<v Speaker 2>at this point? I wonder he might be and nobody knows.

0:13:17.920 --> 0:13:18.760
<v Speaker 2>It's weird man.

0:13:18.920 --> 0:13:20.959
<v Speaker 1>I'll bet they're bypassing him. I'll bet they are too.

0:13:21.480 --> 0:13:21.560
<v Speaker 4>Uh.

0:13:21.640 --> 0:13:24.840
<v Speaker 2>Here's our text line four one five two nine five KFTC.

0:13:32.480 --> 0:13:36.559
<v Speaker 2>If you're tweeting anti automation arguments instead of mailing them,

0:13:36.600 --> 0:13:38.920
<v Speaker 2>you're destroying mail carrier jobs.

0:13:41.800 --> 0:13:44.000
<v Speaker 1>About the whole straight dockworker thing.

0:13:44.840 --> 0:13:49.280
<v Speaker 2>And particularly and particularly if you're tweeting anti automation arguments

0:13:49.280 --> 0:13:52.120
<v Speaker 2>instead of mailing them, you're destroying male's carrier jobs.

0:13:53.000 --> 0:13:53.280
<v Speaker 1>Right.

0:13:53.760 --> 0:13:58.760
<v Speaker 2>So we we had called uh an end to the

0:13:58.920 --> 0:14:01.960
<v Speaker 2>funny songs and memes people had been putting together about

0:14:01.960 --> 0:14:04.640
<v Speaker 2>the eating cats and dogs because we we we thought

0:14:04.640 --> 0:14:06.959
<v Speaker 2>we'd hit all the good ones and they had, they'd

0:14:07.000 --> 0:14:08.000
<v Speaker 2>ceased to amuse us.

0:14:09.240 --> 0:14:12.800
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it felt like it had come to its natural conclusion.

0:14:13.040 --> 0:14:16.280
<v Speaker 2>But Katie, uh says she's got another good one. Is

0:14:16.320 --> 0:14:17.040
<v Speaker 2>that true, Katie?

0:14:17.160 --> 0:14:19.120
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, So I brought us a couple of the ones

0:14:19.120 --> 0:14:20.920
<v Speaker 7>that you guys aired, and I believe Joe even said,

0:14:20.920 --> 0:14:24.040
<v Speaker 7>well that sucked one time, so exactly, I'm trying again.

0:14:24.400 --> 0:14:26.400
<v Speaker 1>I was in the uncharitable mood.

0:14:26.400 --> 0:14:29.520
<v Speaker 7>I apologize, okay, well, hopefully be charitable because I like

0:14:29.560 --> 0:14:30.360
<v Speaker 7>this one a lot.

0:14:30.440 --> 0:14:40.760
<v Speaker 8>Here we go, like it already nineteen eighty six a game.

0:14:42.040 --> 0:14:45.080
<v Speaker 9>The dogs there eating the cats there, the cats suck,

0:14:45.440 --> 0:14:52.960
<v Speaker 9>geople that live there, the dogs there eating the cats there,

0:14:53.280 --> 0:14:54.120
<v Speaker 9>the cats suck.

0:14:56.600 --> 0:15:01.720
<v Speaker 1>Definitely the most danceable of these. Please don't eat my cats?

0:15:02.880 --> 0:15:04.080
<v Speaker 1>Would you do that.

0:15:05.880 --> 0:15:06.120
<v Speaker 9>Else?

0:15:06.320 --> 0:15:13.520
<v Speaker 4>There you go, Please don't eat dog.

0:15:15.400 --> 0:15:20.720
<v Speaker 1>This is a good song. Timber Lakes got to do

0:15:20.800 --> 0:15:28.280
<v Speaker 1>this on his tour. There you go. The only thing

0:15:28.360 --> 0:15:32.480
<v Speaker 1>it's missing to me is the Trump voice, the actual

0:15:32.840 --> 0:15:34.560
<v Speaker 1>the actual Trump. But that I like. I like the

0:15:34.560 --> 0:15:36.040
<v Speaker 1>way that's put together. I would the.

0:15:36.040 --> 0:15:38.200
<v Speaker 7>Reason the reason there's no Trump voice is because he's

0:15:38.200 --> 0:15:39.920
<v Speaker 7>the one playing the horn in the song and the

0:15:40.000 --> 0:15:41.480
<v Speaker 7>music video.

0:15:42.280 --> 0:15:43.880
<v Speaker 1>You can't sing and play the horn at the same time.

0:15:43.960 --> 0:15:46.680
<v Speaker 1>I can vouch for that. It's going a lot.

0:15:46.680 --> 0:15:53.280
<v Speaker 2>Did you see the Duke's a Hazard thing with Trump

0:15:53.360 --> 0:15:57.240
<v Speaker 2>and JD Vans? Spectacular? It is and I was wondering

0:15:57.280 --> 0:15:58.960
<v Speaker 2>how long it took somebody to put that together.

0:16:00.080 --> 0:16:02.800
<v Speaker 3>It was illegal in California for about three days as

0:16:02.960 --> 0:16:05.400
<v Speaker 3>lunkhead Gavin Newsom tried to outlaw parody.

0:16:05.560 --> 0:16:05.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:16:05.840 --> 0:16:07.240
<v Speaker 2>I was just wondering how long it took somebody to

0:16:07.280 --> 0:16:09.600
<v Speaker 2>put that song together, Like if it was days or

0:16:09.880 --> 0:16:13.600
<v Speaker 2>like a half an hour, I don't really know. I

0:16:13.640 --> 0:16:18.640
<v Speaker 2>was watching my son, my youngest, got Photoshop on his

0:16:19.000 --> 0:16:22.040
<v Speaker 2>computer and he's messing around with that, and he was

0:16:22.080 --> 0:16:24.000
<v Speaker 2>showing me all this stuff he was doing with AI

0:16:25.280 --> 0:16:27.720
<v Speaker 2>with photos that. Because I haven't messed around.

0:16:27.480 --> 0:16:28.560
<v Speaker 1>With AI, I've got to.

0:16:29.000 --> 0:16:31.720
<v Speaker 2>But he was just like, you know, take a desert

0:16:31.760 --> 0:16:34.160
<v Speaker 2>scene and put a volts Wagon beatle in it, Okay,

0:16:34.160 --> 0:16:36.840
<v Speaker 2>and now put a put a skyscraper behind it, and

0:16:36.880 --> 0:16:38.200
<v Speaker 2>it just would show up there.

0:16:38.840 --> 0:16:39.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:16:39.040 --> 0:16:43.360
<v Speaker 2>It make it a little smaller. Just the creative abilities now,

0:16:43.400 --> 0:16:46.240
<v Speaker 2>and it's so easy. It's stunning to me.

0:16:47.120 --> 0:16:50.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, that's interesting. My daughter, who has a couple

0:16:50.840 --> 0:16:54.400
<v Speaker 3>of cats that try to escape sometimes, sent us a video,

0:16:54.560 --> 0:16:58.600
<v Speaker 3>funny tiktoki type video of a woman holding her cat

0:16:58.680 --> 0:17:01.280
<v Speaker 3>and yelling at the thing in Trump's voice.

0:17:01.280 --> 0:17:04.040
<v Speaker 1>They're eating the dogs, They're eating the cats.

0:17:04.359 --> 0:17:06.879
<v Speaker 3>The caption is, you know how I'm scaring my cats

0:17:06.880 --> 0:17:07.840
<v Speaker 3>into staying in the house.

0:17:10.080 --> 0:17:13.480
<v Speaker 2>Warnings to sailors in San Diego, wait till you hear

0:17:13.520 --> 0:17:17.479
<v Speaker 2>this story, Armstrong and Getty.

0:17:19.000 --> 0:17:22.119
<v Speaker 10>Now everybody sees things different, and I respect your choice

0:17:22.119 --> 0:17:26.480
<v Speaker 10>as a fellow citizen, But like you, I've only got

0:17:26.480 --> 0:17:30.359
<v Speaker 10>one vote. It's one of the most precious possessions that

0:17:30.520 --> 0:17:35.800
<v Speaker 10>I have. That's why come November fifth, I'll be casting

0:17:35.880 --> 0:17:40.280
<v Speaker 10>my vote for Conwell, Harris and Tim Walls. Thanks for listening.

0:17:41.200 --> 0:17:44.920
<v Speaker 3>Born to run his mouth. Apparently that's Bruce Springsteen.

0:17:45.080 --> 0:17:47.840
<v Speaker 2>Well, he's been a millionaire since he was nineteen and

0:17:47.920 --> 0:17:51.560
<v Speaker 2>never had a real job. So good for him sitting

0:17:51.560 --> 0:17:54.800
<v Speaker 2>there in a diner and his flannel shirt and talking

0:17:54.840 --> 0:17:58.800
<v Speaker 2>about he knows who best represents the working man like

0:17:59.000 --> 0:17:59.680
<v Speaker 2>we all are.

0:18:00.320 --> 0:18:05.280
<v Speaker 3>What got a union card and a wedding colt you

0:18:05.359 --> 0:18:10.399
<v Speaker 3>did when? Although I appreciate his saying, hey, maybe you

0:18:10.440 --> 0:18:12.879
<v Speaker 3>see it differently than me, I respect that. You know what,

0:18:13.400 --> 0:18:16.000
<v Speaker 3>tip of the cap to you, jingle of the earring

0:18:16.080 --> 0:18:16.320
<v Speaker 3>to you?

0:18:16.400 --> 0:18:16.720
<v Speaker 1>Bruce.

0:18:18.000 --> 0:18:19.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I don't know how to look at these things

0:18:19.600 --> 0:18:22.240
<v Speaker 2>with the celebrities. I mean, because we don't have to

0:18:22.240 --> 0:18:25.720
<v Speaker 2>pay attention to him. It's the it's the media. Bruce

0:18:25.720 --> 0:18:28.439
<v Speaker 2>Springsteen has made his endorsement and then they play it

0:18:28.480 --> 0:18:30.119
<v Speaker 2>on you know, NBC or whatever.

0:18:30.760 --> 0:18:34.320
<v Speaker 1>Yes, so what what I mean?

0:18:34.320 --> 0:18:37.119
<v Speaker 2>You want to you want to pick human beings that

0:18:37.200 --> 0:18:39.320
<v Speaker 2>have the least real life experience.

0:18:39.560 --> 0:18:41.960
<v Speaker 3>Bruce Springsteen would be way toward the top of the list.

0:18:42.280 --> 0:18:46.040
<v Speaker 3>He might be their king exactly. Yeah, no kidding. If

0:18:46.040 --> 0:18:48.320
<v Speaker 3>he endorsed a certain guitar string, I'd listen to that.

0:18:48.440 --> 0:18:52.760
<v Speaker 3>But anyway, thanks Bruce, appreciate it. Speaking of endorsements, I

0:18:52.760 --> 0:18:56.520
<v Speaker 3>thought this was interesting. The fairly big deal is being

0:18:56.560 --> 0:18:59.800
<v Speaker 3>made over this in some quarters. Over two hundred retired

0:18:59.840 --> 0:19:04.440
<v Speaker 3>generals and admirals have endorsed Donald J. Trump for President

0:19:04.480 --> 0:19:08.320
<v Speaker 3>of the United States, saying, in part, Donald Trump is

0:19:08.359 --> 0:19:11.119
<v Speaker 3>a proven track record of success providing the most fundamental

0:19:11.160 --> 0:19:15.160
<v Speaker 3>responsibilities required of a US president, protecting national security domestic

0:19:15.200 --> 0:19:19.480
<v Speaker 3>safety in the US Constitution. Meanwhile, the current administration, led

0:19:19.480 --> 0:19:21.119
<v Speaker 3>by the President and Vice President of the lot our

0:19:21.160 --> 0:19:24.359
<v Speaker 3>nation to become insecure, our citizens unsafe, and our country

0:19:24.400 --> 0:19:27.080
<v Speaker 3>divided due to the culture war being waged across America

0:19:27.359 --> 0:19:31.520
<v Speaker 3>in the form of diversity, equity and inclusion. I actually

0:19:31.560 --> 0:19:35.119
<v Speaker 3>am in a hearty agreement with this. These two hundred

0:19:35.119 --> 0:19:36.440
<v Speaker 3>retired generals and admirals.

0:19:36.880 --> 0:19:39.320
<v Speaker 2>On the other hand, this came out as a response

0:19:39.359 --> 0:19:42.520
<v Speaker 2>to the two hundred generals and whoever that.

0:19:43.920 --> 0:19:47.119
<v Speaker 1>Wrote a letter supporting Kamala Harris a couple days earlier,

0:19:47.520 --> 0:19:48.800
<v Speaker 1>precisely my point.

0:19:48.920 --> 0:19:51.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and we can get one hundred and seventy five

0:19:51.440 --> 0:19:54.800
<v Speaker 3>different ones to endorse Trump, then Kamala and just keep

0:19:54.840 --> 0:19:57.200
<v Speaker 3>going if you want, until we're out of generals and admirals,

0:19:58.240 --> 0:20:00.280
<v Speaker 3>the same way we could come up with high No.

0:20:00.440 --> 0:20:03.480
<v Speaker 1>Fifty one intelligence.

0:20:02.840 --> 0:20:07.399
<v Speaker 3>Professionals who agreed that the Hunter lapped up bears all

0:20:07.400 --> 0:20:09.560
<v Speaker 3>the signs of a Russian information campaign.

0:20:09.720 --> 0:20:13.199
<v Speaker 2>Personally, I'm waiting until Bonjobi makes his decision and announces

0:20:13.320 --> 0:20:14.760
<v Speaker 2>his endorsement.

0:20:15.359 --> 0:20:19.440
<v Speaker 3>Least John Mellencamp has spoken out. He's broken his silence.

0:20:20.119 --> 0:20:23.440
<v Speaker 3>So anyway, I thought that was interesting. It won't get

0:20:23.480 --> 0:20:26.880
<v Speaker 3>any coverage outside of conservative media right now. Now this

0:20:27.160 --> 0:20:32.560
<v Speaker 3>is more significant, and I wish, honestly we had the

0:20:32.600 --> 0:20:35.720
<v Speaker 3>time to read the whole thing and discuss it. Maybe

0:20:35.760 --> 0:20:38.479
<v Speaker 3>we will seek out the author, one Elliott Ackerman, who

0:20:38.520 --> 0:20:42.960
<v Speaker 3>we've talked to before. He is the brilliant author, also

0:20:43.320 --> 0:20:48.840
<v Speaker 3>marine and veteran, who wrote the Fifth Act that incredibly

0:20:49.800 --> 0:20:52.600
<v Speaker 3>interesting book about the withdrawal from Afghanists.

0:20:52.040 --> 0:20:55.760
<v Speaker 2>One of my favorite audiobooks of all time, really really good.

0:20:55.800 --> 0:20:58.280
<v Speaker 2>If you want to understand warfare in the United States

0:20:58.320 --> 0:21:00.400
<v Speaker 2>and then the modern era, that is the book for you.

0:21:01.640 --> 0:21:02.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:21:02.920 --> 0:21:05.400
<v Speaker 3>Elliot Ackerman is one of those people who the Good

0:21:05.440 --> 0:21:08.159
<v Speaker 3>Lord gave many, many gifts. He's a retired marine who

0:21:08.200 --> 0:21:10.440
<v Speaker 3>was awarded the Silver Star, the Bronze Star with Valor,

0:21:10.480 --> 0:21:14.040
<v Speaker 3>and the Purple Heart during his five deployments to Afghanistan

0:21:14.040 --> 0:21:14.360
<v Speaker 3>and I rock.

0:21:14.400 --> 0:21:16.159
<v Speaker 1>He's also brilliant and a great author. Anyway.

0:21:17.119 --> 0:21:19.440
<v Speaker 3>The title of his piece for the Free Press recently

0:21:19.520 --> 0:21:22.280
<v Speaker 3>is the US is not ready for a modern war.

0:21:23.600 --> 0:21:23.919
<v Speaker 1>Today.

0:21:23.920 --> 0:21:26.320
<v Speaker 3>A three thousand dollars drone can take out a ten

0:21:26.359 --> 0:21:29.440
<v Speaker 3>million dollar tank. When will the American military learn that?

0:21:29.600 --> 0:21:30.600
<v Speaker 1>Lesson? He asks?

0:21:30.640 --> 0:21:32.359
<v Speaker 3>And I'm just going to read you a couple of paragraphs,

0:21:33.359 --> 0:21:35.000
<v Speaker 3>he says. Two years ago, I was invited to lunch

0:21:35.040 --> 0:21:38.080
<v Speaker 3>in Washington with Gilman Louis, a tech venture capitalist. He

0:21:38.119 --> 0:21:40.359
<v Speaker 3>was in town to discuss the passage of the Chips Act,

0:21:40.520 --> 0:21:44.560
<v Speaker 3>that fifty three billion dollar investment in US manufacturing our

0:21:44.600 --> 0:21:49.159
<v Speaker 3>own computer chips were not dependent on China. He believed

0:21:49.160 --> 0:21:52.520
<v Speaker 3>that offshoring of tech manufacturing was a dire national security issue.

0:21:52.520 --> 0:21:56.359
<v Speaker 3>His concerns were many, from the one I stated to

0:21:56.640 --> 0:21:59.360
<v Speaker 3>China's navy having surpassed the size of our own. If

0:21:59.359 --> 0:22:01.080
<v Speaker 3>we ever had to fight World War three, the US

0:22:01.119 --> 0:22:04.639
<v Speaker 3>would not be ready, he said. Although I shared Gilman's concerns,

0:22:04.640 --> 0:22:06.480
<v Speaker 3>I told him I wasn't quite as worried as him.

0:22:06.520 --> 0:22:09.399
<v Speaker 3>I repeated an argument had often heard from national security pros,

0:22:09.680 --> 0:22:12.480
<v Speaker 3>which was that the United States retained the upper hand

0:22:12.480 --> 0:22:16.960
<v Speaker 3>against any potential adversary because the truly exquisite technology, from

0:22:16.960 --> 0:22:19.960
<v Speaker 3>the iPhone to the chips developed by Nvidia to the

0:22:19.960 --> 0:22:23.040
<v Speaker 3>breakthroughs that open AI did not occur in China or Russia,

0:22:23.080 --> 0:22:26.000
<v Speaker 3>but right here at home, and no adversary could compete

0:22:26.000 --> 0:22:31.040
<v Speaker 3>with us in the creation of exquisite technology. Here's where

0:22:31.040 --> 0:22:34.840
<v Speaker 3>it gets super interesting. Gilman listened patiently. Then he asked

0:22:34.840 --> 0:22:37.160
<v Speaker 3>me a question. In the Second World War, which nation

0:22:37.240 --> 0:22:40.760
<v Speaker 3>produced the most exquisite technology? Because it wasn't the United States,

0:22:41.400 --> 0:22:45.639
<v Speaker 3>it was Germany, he reminded me. Back then, American Sherman

0:22:45.760 --> 0:22:50.320
<v Speaker 3>tanks nicknamed flaming coffins by GI's, who proved no match

0:22:50.359 --> 0:22:53.280
<v Speaker 3>in one on one contests, when the German counterpart the

0:22:53.320 --> 0:22:58.200
<v Speaker 3>Tiger tank the ponzer Kompfwagen, Both the fighter jet and

0:22:58.240 --> 0:23:00.800
<v Speaker 3>the long range ballistic missile and as that came later

0:23:00.840 --> 0:23:03.960
<v Speaker 3>in the war, weren't creations of the Allies but of Germany.

0:23:04.000 --> 0:23:06.320
<v Speaker 3>With a notable exception of the atom bomb, the Germans

0:23:06.320 --> 0:23:08.800
<v Speaker 3>were consistently the first to field what was then considered

0:23:08.840 --> 0:23:11.760
<v Speaker 3>exquisite technology. The problem for the Germans was that they

0:23:11.880 --> 0:23:13.600
<v Speaker 3>lacked industrial capacity.

0:23:13.880 --> 0:23:15.439
<v Speaker 1>The Allies defeated the.

0:23:15.320 --> 0:23:20.239
<v Speaker 3>Axis with inferior technology that could be mass produced, and

0:23:20.320 --> 0:23:22.600
<v Speaker 3>the conclusion, I'm sure you know where we're going with this.

0:23:22.680 --> 0:23:24.879
<v Speaker 3>Today the United States finds itself in the position of

0:23:24.920 --> 0:23:27.840
<v Speaker 3>the Germans. We have divested ourselves of much of our

0:23:28.400 --> 0:23:32.159
<v Speaker 3>industrial capacity. China, meanwhile, with thirty five percent of the

0:23:32.160 --> 0:23:35.520
<v Speaker 3>world's global manufacturing output, finds itself in the position that

0:23:35.560 --> 0:23:39.399
<v Speaker 3>allowed the US to win the Second World War. And

0:23:39.440 --> 0:23:41.679
<v Speaker 3>he goes into a bit of detail, and I don't

0:23:41.800 --> 0:23:44.159
<v Speaker 3>think you'll be paywalled. We'll post a link at Armstrong

0:23:44.200 --> 0:23:46.639
<v Speaker 3>and Getty dot com. If you're interested in the topic,

0:23:46.720 --> 0:23:48.359
<v Speaker 3>you can read the whole thing. But he supports his

0:23:48.480 --> 0:23:53.080
<v Speaker 3>argument quite thoroughly with a number of different examples, including

0:23:53.880 --> 0:23:56.560
<v Speaker 3>the one that the sub had mentioned these ten million

0:23:56.600 --> 0:23:59.359
<v Speaker 3>dollars tanks that are being taken out by three thousand

0:23:59.359 --> 0:24:04.480
<v Speaker 3>dollars drone and the Abrams M one tank, which is

0:24:04.800 --> 0:24:08.240
<v Speaker 3>an amazing piece of battlefield technology. I didn't know it

0:24:08.320 --> 0:24:10.680
<v Speaker 3>requires two million dollars an annual maintenance.

0:24:11.280 --> 0:24:13.199
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well, that was part of the argument, and I

0:24:13.240 --> 0:24:16.080
<v Speaker 2>was just reading about this last night in David Sanger's

0:24:16.119 --> 0:24:17.879
<v Speaker 2>New Cold Wars. That was part of the argument on

0:24:18.160 --> 0:24:20.800
<v Speaker 2>not getting the tanks to Ukraine when they're asking for them,

0:24:21.560 --> 0:24:24.720
<v Speaker 2>is there's just no way they could afford the maintenance.

0:24:24.720 --> 0:24:28.600
<v Speaker 2>They're very complicated to maintain. It costs a lot of money.

0:24:28.640 --> 0:24:30.480
<v Speaker 2>They're complicated to use that sort of thing.

0:24:31.760 --> 0:24:32.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:24:32.119 --> 0:24:35.520
<v Speaker 3>So anyway, like I said, that's a concerning and really

0:24:35.600 --> 0:24:38.120
<v Speaker 3>intriguing peace We'll link it under hot links at Armstrong

0:24:38.160 --> 0:24:40.960
<v Speaker 3>in getty dot com. Similar article, this time from the

0:24:40.960 --> 0:24:44.520
<v Speaker 3>Wall Street Journal at the world's largest shipyard, US courts

0:24:44.520 --> 0:24:48.080
<v Speaker 3>and ally to face up to China. South Korea offers

0:24:48.080 --> 0:24:52.240
<v Speaker 3>shipbuilding capacity know how in talent that rivals China, whose

0:24:52.280 --> 0:24:56.720
<v Speaker 3>maritime dominance is growing. And it's a similar story. We

0:24:56.840 --> 0:25:00.439
<v Speaker 3>have offshore in the name of global trade, which seemed

0:25:00.480 --> 0:25:02.480
<v Speaker 3>like a good idea for a while, and aspects of

0:25:02.520 --> 0:25:06.040
<v Speaker 3>it still are. But we had offshore the very industrial

0:25:06.080 --> 0:25:10.159
<v Speaker 3>capacity that wins wars. We can't build a fraction of

0:25:10.200 --> 0:25:13.280
<v Speaker 3>the ships we need at a fraction of the speed

0:25:13.359 --> 0:25:16.040
<v Speaker 3>we need to do it. We are on our hands

0:25:16.040 --> 0:25:20.040
<v Speaker 3>and knees begging South Korea, the number two ship builder

0:25:20.040 --> 0:25:23.399
<v Speaker 3>in the world after China, to please build us some

0:25:23.560 --> 0:25:25.800
<v Speaker 3>ships while you're building yourself.

0:25:25.440 --> 0:25:27.880
<v Speaker 1>Some ships, please, can you please?

0:25:29.240 --> 0:25:33.680
<v Speaker 2>And we have the least modern docks in the world

0:25:34.000 --> 0:25:37.560
<v Speaker 2>of advanced countries, which we all learned through the longshoreman

0:25:37.640 --> 0:25:41.560
<v Speaker 2>strike this week, and the longshoreman won their deal.

0:25:42.560 --> 0:25:42.919
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:25:43.040 --> 0:25:47.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, And I'm trying to find the figures on the

0:25:48.760 --> 0:25:51.399
<v Speaker 3>vastly greater expense of building the same ship in the

0:25:51.480 --> 0:25:55.160
<v Speaker 3>US versus in South Korea or anywhere else on Earth

0:25:55.320 --> 0:25:57.640
<v Speaker 3>for that manager for that matter.

0:25:57.760 --> 0:25:58.879
<v Speaker 1>Rather I'm sor I'm reading all.

0:25:58.920 --> 0:26:01.399
<v Speaker 3>I'm talking China, South in Japan cheer out ships that

0:26:01.440 --> 0:26:04.200
<v Speaker 3>account for more than ninety percent of the world's tonnage

0:26:04.280 --> 0:26:07.639
<v Speaker 3>ninety percent, the US bills two tenths of a percent.

0:26:08.760 --> 0:26:11.920
<v Speaker 3>Do we have the industrial capacity to win a major conflict?

0:26:12.200 --> 0:26:13.920
<v Speaker 1>No, not even close.

0:26:14.160 --> 0:26:16.480
<v Speaker 3>Well, now we might be able to fire it up

0:26:16.520 --> 0:26:18.879
<v Speaker 3>and adapt our current technology the way we did in

0:26:18.920 --> 0:26:22.840
<v Speaker 3>World War Two. You know, car plants became tank plants.

0:26:22.880 --> 0:26:24.400
<v Speaker 3>But we have at the time.

0:26:24.200 --> 0:26:24.720
<v Speaker 1>Got to admit.

0:26:24.760 --> 0:26:28.439
<v Speaker 2>That's what I'm always hoping is that just as the

0:26:28.480 --> 0:26:31.800
<v Speaker 2>third biggest population on Earth and the biggest economy by

0:26:31.880 --> 0:26:35.840
<v Speaker 2>quite a lot, we can ramp up early quickly, I hope.

0:26:36.920 --> 0:26:37.160
<v Speaker 1>Well.

0:26:37.240 --> 0:26:41.560
<v Speaker 3>The good news is this, the very dei programs that

0:26:41.680 --> 0:26:45.919
<v Speaker 3>we began the segment talking about are bearing some fabulous fruit.

0:26:46.200 --> 0:26:50.440
<v Speaker 3>The US Navy has unveiled its first gender integrated submarine.

0:26:51.400 --> 0:26:55.240
<v Speaker 3>We now have girls on our submarines. Because the United

0:26:55.280 --> 0:26:59.800
<v Speaker 3>States Military is a jobs program and a social experimentation lab.

0:27:00.200 --> 0:27:04.639
<v Speaker 2>Right, the most important thing is not being the most dominant.

0:27:04.359 --> 0:27:08.040
<v Speaker 1>Military power on Earth. It's being the fairest to everyone,

0:27:08.440 --> 0:27:09.680
<v Speaker 1>the most enlightened. Yes.

0:27:09.800 --> 0:27:13.040
<v Speaker 3>Yes, And one final note about the United States Military

0:27:13.080 --> 0:27:16.919
<v Speaker 3>and all of its awesomeness. This is outrageous to me,

0:27:17.560 --> 0:27:19.399
<v Speaker 3>and I don't want the show to be all outrage.

0:27:19.640 --> 0:27:21.680
<v Speaker 3>I don't think this segment has been an age. It's

0:27:21.720 --> 0:27:22.400
<v Speaker 3>concerned anger.

0:27:22.680 --> 0:27:24.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm angry, and I want to carry that anger over

0:27:24.440 --> 0:27:25.800
<v Speaker 2>to everyone that could listen.

0:27:26.320 --> 0:27:28.879
<v Speaker 3>Jack is outraged by my lack of outrage, Yes, but

0:27:28.920 --> 0:27:33.439
<v Speaker 3>I am so mad. I am actually outraged by this.

0:27:33.440 --> 0:27:39.080
<v Speaker 3>This is a warning to sailors United States Navy personnel

0:27:39.560 --> 0:27:44.480
<v Speaker 3>in the San Diego, California area. All of these pro

0:27:44.640 --> 0:27:49.359
<v Speaker 3>Palestinian pro Hamas Islamist tied groups and the soft headed

0:27:49.440 --> 0:27:53.040
<v Speaker 3>jackasses that support them have called for a week of

0:27:53.200 --> 0:27:56.960
<v Speaker 3>rage calls for action across the United States. Some events

0:27:56.960 --> 0:27:59.280
<v Speaker 3>may occur in the in the San Diego region. The

0:27:59.359 --> 0:28:03.800
<v Speaker 3>Navy is close involved with protecting Israel from hesbela eran Hamas,

0:28:03.840 --> 0:28:05.960
<v Speaker 3>et cetera, and some of the anger related to the

0:28:05.960 --> 0:28:09.359
<v Speaker 3>protests will likely be directed at the US military, so

0:28:09.560 --> 0:28:13.280
<v Speaker 3>members should strongly be advised against being out in uniform

0:28:13.720 --> 0:28:16.840
<v Speaker 3>in the vicinity of protest activity, or wearing things someone

0:28:16.920 --> 0:28:21.120
<v Speaker 3>could tie them to the military simply to avoid unwanted attention.

0:28:23.240 --> 0:28:27.160
<v Speaker 3>We are warning our service personnel. Don't be in uniform,

0:28:27.440 --> 0:28:30.520
<v Speaker 3>don't wear a hat, don't let anybody know you are

0:28:30.560 --> 0:28:33.640
<v Speaker 3>serving the United States, because you might be in danger

0:28:34.000 --> 0:28:37.119
<v Speaker 3>in the United States. Are you effing kidding me?

0:28:37.480 --> 0:28:38.040
<v Speaker 1>That's something?

0:28:38.720 --> 0:28:41.840
<v Speaker 3>Why are we sending out a warning to these Marxists

0:28:42.240 --> 0:28:48.040
<v Speaker 3>and Islamists and whatever the misguided college idiots are. If

0:28:48.080 --> 0:28:51.240
<v Speaker 3>you lift a hand against one of our service members.

0:28:51.240 --> 0:28:53.640
<v Speaker 3>Because they're in the service, you will see the inside

0:28:53.640 --> 0:28:58.240
<v Speaker 3>of a federal penitentiary, and the arrest process probably.

0:28:58.000 --> 0:29:00.480
<v Speaker 1>Won't be as gentle as you're used to either. Why

0:29:00.520 --> 0:29:05.480
<v Speaker 1>are we not warning them exactly, which I'm sure you could.

0:29:06.560 --> 0:29:07.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

0:29:07.040 --> 0:29:08.920
<v Speaker 2>Actually know the laws, But there's got to be some

0:29:08.960 --> 0:29:13.720
<v Speaker 2>sort of political terrorism or something, or if for reasons

0:29:13.760 --> 0:29:18.640
<v Speaker 2>of politics you're attacking people in our military, but whatever, Yeah,

0:29:18.680 --> 0:29:20.920
<v Speaker 2>the threats should be to Hey, I wouldn't do that

0:29:20.960 --> 0:29:22.920
<v Speaker 2>if I were you. Here's what will happen as opposed

0:29:22.920 --> 0:29:23.360
<v Speaker 2>to you.

0:29:23.400 --> 0:29:23.560
<v Speaker 10>Better.

0:29:23.600 --> 0:29:25.160
<v Speaker 2>If you're in the Navy, you better probably wear your

0:29:25.160 --> 0:29:27.200
<v Speaker 2>civilian clothes and kind of hide that and don't mention

0:29:27.280 --> 0:29:30.120
<v Speaker 2>that to anybody, because the angry college kids are out

0:29:30.160 --> 0:29:31.400
<v Speaker 2>and well, you know.

0:29:32.040 --> 0:29:35.880
<v Speaker 3>The Antifa types might beat you to death or certainly unconscious.

0:29:36.080 --> 0:29:39.120
<v Speaker 3>I want a poster on every light pole in San

0:29:39.200 --> 0:29:42.640
<v Speaker 3>Diego on the sailor kissing the woman, which seems like

0:29:42.680 --> 0:29:45.440
<v Speaker 3>toxic masculinity to me. By the way, I want to

0:29:45.440 --> 0:29:48.320
<v Speaker 3>sign everywhere saying if you threaten a US surface member,

0:29:48.360 --> 0:29:51.000
<v Speaker 3>you're in violation of federal code whatever it is, and

0:29:51.040 --> 0:29:52.760
<v Speaker 3>you will serve up to ten years in prison, and

0:29:52.800 --> 0:29:59.400
<v Speaker 3>we will prosecute you, prosecute you. We have lost the confidence,

0:29:59.440 --> 0:30:02.960
<v Speaker 3>the posit save energy of the need to defend this

0:30:03.040 --> 0:30:06.480
<v Speaker 3>country and Western civilization in general. We have been cowed

0:30:06.560 --> 0:30:11.840
<v Speaker 3>into this bizarre self hatred by the radical left in academia.

0:30:10.920 --> 0:30:14.320
<v Speaker 1>And I won't have it. Who's with me? I know

0:30:14.360 --> 0:30:16.239
<v Speaker 1>you probably are. I will cripple you.

0:30:17.680 --> 0:30:21.520
<v Speaker 2>Monday is the one year anniversary of October seventh, and

0:30:21.600 --> 0:30:23.720
<v Speaker 2>it will be interesting to see the op eds in

0:30:23.760 --> 0:30:26.960
<v Speaker 2>the newspapers and what politicians have to say and how

0:30:27.000 --> 0:30:28.960
<v Speaker 2>they handle it on the Sunday talk shows and all

0:30:28.960 --> 0:30:29.640
<v Speaker 2>that sort of thing.

0:30:30.320 --> 0:30:33.320
<v Speaker 3>Oh and what Yale has said about October seventh to

0:30:33.400 --> 0:30:36.280
<v Speaker 3>its Jewish students may make you want to I don't know,

0:30:36.680 --> 0:30:42.120
<v Speaker 3>rain blows upon their unholy heads. Bruce Springs, not the

0:30:42.160 --> 0:30:44.840
<v Speaker 3>Jewish students, the faculty, I should say.

0:30:44.960 --> 0:30:49.360
<v Speaker 2>Bruce Springsteen announced who he's endorsing, and they use that

0:30:49.400 --> 0:30:51.240
<v Speaker 2>at a tease going into the news. It's like the

0:30:51.280 --> 0:30:53.240
<v Speaker 2>other day when The New York Times is going to

0:30:53.280 --> 0:30:57.480
<v Speaker 2>announce tomorrow who the editorial board chooses for the presidential candidate. Yeah,

0:30:57.560 --> 0:30:58.840
<v Speaker 2>I have a feeling they're going to go with the

0:30:58.880 --> 0:31:01.960
<v Speaker 2>Democrat and when Bruce did too, I'll be darned.

0:31:02.520 --> 0:31:04.120
<v Speaker 1>Oh god, jeez.

0:31:04.240 --> 0:31:08.680
<v Speaker 2>Really, and I don't think I've heard anywhere about Elon

0:31:08.800 --> 0:31:12.040
<v Speaker 2>Musk coming out for Donald Trump other than like here.

0:31:13.520 --> 0:31:16.400
<v Speaker 1>Or you know, rightly, What the.

0:31:16.400 --> 0:31:18.480
<v Speaker 3>Hell does Elon Musk know about the world and how

0:31:18.480 --> 0:31:21.000
<v Speaker 3>it works compared to a Bruce Springsteen.

0:31:23.280 --> 0:31:25.960
<v Speaker 2>Elon out with quite the tweet today. He's going to

0:31:26.040 --> 0:31:29.640
<v Speaker 2>be in Bethel, Pennsylvania tomorrow. Trump's going back there for

0:31:29.640 --> 0:31:31.960
<v Speaker 2>a rally, first time since he got shot there, and

0:31:32.040 --> 0:31:35.440
<v Speaker 2>Elon's gonna be there, which is something. But Elon put

0:31:35.440 --> 0:31:36.960
<v Speaker 2>out quite the tweet. We ought to read to you,

0:31:37.080 --> 0:31:37.960
<v Speaker 2>among other things on.

0:31:37.920 --> 0:31:49.120
<v Speaker 1>The way Armstrong, a number of stories we haven't gotten

0:31:49.160 --> 0:31:54.320
<v Speaker 1>to yet, start with this. Elon Musk tweeted this out today.

0:31:54.600 --> 0:31:57.080
<v Speaker 2>And he gets no attention in the mainstream media.

0:31:57.160 --> 0:32:01.440
<v Speaker 1>I know they hate him, but his world's richest man, and.

0:32:04.160 --> 0:32:07.960
<v Speaker 3>That doesn't mean we have to platform him owns Twitter.

0:32:08.200 --> 0:32:08.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean, if.

0:32:11.360 --> 0:32:14.760
<v Speaker 2>What's his name, Jeff Bezos was still the world's richest

0:32:14.760 --> 0:32:19.120
<v Speaker 2>man and was getting this involved in the presidential race

0:32:19.160 --> 0:32:22.800
<v Speaker 2>on the side of Kamala Harris. His every quip would

0:32:22.800 --> 0:32:27.520
<v Speaker 2>make the evening newscast about Kamala Harris anyway, elon Musk.

0:32:27.560 --> 0:32:31.160
<v Speaker 2>Today the Dems are doing deliberate voter importation to swing

0:32:31.200 --> 0:32:34.440
<v Speaker 2>states and fast tracking them to citizenship. The only question

0:32:34.520 --> 0:32:37.360
<v Speaker 2>is when, not if, enough migrants can vote to flip

0:32:37.400 --> 0:32:40.280
<v Speaker 2>all swing states, shifting the whole country to permanent one

0:32:40.320 --> 0:32:42.960
<v Speaker 2>party rule, just like what happened to California after the

0:32:43.040 --> 0:32:46.840
<v Speaker 2>nineteen eighty six amnesty. Diabolically smart, to be honest, That's

0:32:46.880 --> 0:32:49.400
<v Speaker 2>why I keep saying that unless Trump wins and reverses

0:32:49.400 --> 0:32:52.600
<v Speaker 2>a scam, twenty twenty four is the last election in America.

0:32:53.480 --> 0:32:55.920
<v Speaker 1>That's some pretty strong talk.

0:32:58.400 --> 0:33:02.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and that is a much more more logically reasonable

0:33:02.680 --> 0:33:05.960
<v Speaker 3>proposition than Trump will declare the end of democracy and

0:33:06.040 --> 0:33:07.400
<v Speaker 3>become president for life.

0:33:08.080 --> 0:33:10.520
<v Speaker 1>How the hell would that happen? Is it not going to?

0:33:10.840 --> 0:33:11.000
<v Speaker 2>Does?

0:33:11.200 --> 0:33:13.000
<v Speaker 1>Going through tweets? Does anybody know why?

0:33:13.040 --> 0:33:17.640
<v Speaker 2>Marjorie Taylor Green tweeted today, Yes, they can control the weather.

0:33:17.920 --> 0:33:20.560
<v Speaker 2>It's ridiculous for anyone to lie and say it can't

0:33:20.560 --> 0:33:23.640
<v Speaker 2>be done. Does anybody know what she's talking about?

0:33:25.960 --> 0:33:30.280
<v Speaker 3>Blaming Biden for the hurricane? I don't know who can

0:33:30.280 --> 0:33:36.800
<v Speaker 3>control the weather though them? Okay, she said they ken.

0:33:36.240 --> 0:33:37.480
<v Speaker 1>And everyone knows it.

0:33:38.040 --> 0:33:41.920
<v Speaker 2>The Mets Brewers series is over, so this doesn't matter anymore.

0:33:42.200 --> 0:33:43.520
<v Speaker 2>But I don't know if you followed the other day

0:33:43.560 --> 0:33:46.360
<v Speaker 2>when the britt, one of the shortstop for the Mets,

0:33:46.680 --> 0:33:49.560
<v Speaker 2>got into a back and forth with the Uh he

0:33:49.600 --> 0:33:51.800
<v Speaker 2>was on base, he'd hit a triple with the third

0:33:51.840 --> 0:33:53.760
<v Speaker 2>basement for the Brewers, and they were back and forth

0:33:53.800 --> 0:33:55.400
<v Speaker 2>and they were going to meet in the parking lot

0:33:55.800 --> 0:33:58.840
<v Speaker 2>and fight after the game. Wow, And the guy for

0:33:58.920 --> 0:34:02.400
<v Speaker 2>the Mets, Willis, said, I was there. I showed up,

0:34:02.400 --> 0:34:04.280
<v Speaker 2>and that I was there. I was writing he didn't show.

0:34:05.240 --> 0:34:07.960
<v Speaker 2>So he actually showed up in the parking lot where

0:34:07.960 --> 0:34:10.759
<v Speaker 2>they had agreed to fight, and the other guy didn't

0:34:10.800 --> 0:34:14.080
<v Speaker 2>show old school. That is pretty old school.

0:34:15.080 --> 0:34:15.640
<v Speaker 1>And then.

0:34:17.520 --> 0:34:18.799
<v Speaker 2>I want to get to this, but I'm gonna save

0:34:18.840 --> 0:34:20.640
<v Speaker 2>it up. I'm gonna save it for next hour, I guess,

0:34:20.800 --> 0:34:23.279
<v Speaker 2>or a fourth hour. Don't dour Wait a minute, I know.

0:34:23.880 --> 0:34:26.080
<v Speaker 2>Should we do four hours? That seems like a lot.

0:34:27.000 --> 0:34:29.000
<v Speaker 3>If you don't don't get the fourth hour, grab it

<v Speaker 2>How about this guy running as a Republican Mike Lawler

0:34:35.560 --> 0:34:39.040
<v Speaker 2>a represented a Republican representative locked in a tight race

0:34:39.080 --> 0:34:43.600
<v Speaker 2>for re election. This story broke yesterday. The headline photos

0:34:43.640 --> 0:34:47.680
<v Speaker 2>show New York congressman in blackface as Michael Jackson in

0:34:47.719 --> 0:34:50.279
<v Speaker 2>two thousand and six as a college student. Because he

0:34:50.320 --> 0:34:52.960
<v Speaker 2>was a big Michael Jackson fan, he dressed as Michael

0:34:53.040 --> 0:34:53.799
<v Speaker 2>Jackson and.

0:34:53.800 --> 0:34:55.000
<v Speaker 1>Put black on his face.

0:34:56.880 --> 0:35:00.000
<v Speaker 2>Unreal, he says, as a big fan of Michael Jackson,

0:35:00.040 --> 0:35:01.520
<v Speaker 2>and I didn't think it was a big deal at all.

0:35:02.160 --> 0:35:04.240
<v Speaker 2>But in the New York Times it says the ugly

0:35:04.280 --> 0:35:08.440
<v Speaker 2>practice of blackface was used in the eighteen thirties to

0:35:08.440 --> 0:35:10.399
<v Speaker 2>blah blah blah blah blah blah. He said, I didn't

0:35:10.440 --> 0:35:11.640
<v Speaker 2>know anything about that at the time.

0:35:13.080 --> 0:35:15.560
<v Speaker 1>It was a first thing for my mind. Different right.

0:35:15.640 --> 0:35:17.440
<v Speaker 2>It'll be interesting to see if that has an effect.

0:35:17.440 --> 0:35:19.200
<v Speaker 2>The New York Times acted like it was a big deal.

0:35:19.640 --> 0:35:20.600
<v Speaker 1>I saw one comment.

0:35:20.640 --> 0:35:23.520
<v Speaker 3>I'd rather see the reporter reporting this hounded out of

0:35:23.600 --> 0:35:26.600
<v Speaker 3>society than this guy who is just a Michael Jackson fan.

0:35:26.800 --> 0:35:28.000
