1
00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George

2
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:10,920
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. Armstrong and

3
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:17,640
Speaker 1: Getty and he Armstrong and Getty.

4
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 2: Talk about the US military and how it really does

5
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 2: it stands this is this is not cheerleading on my part.

6
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:35,480
Speaker 2: I think any any military person in the world would

7
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 2: say the same thing. The United States and its capabilities

8
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 2: and its power and in its discipline right now certainly

9
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 2: seems to be second to nine.

10
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 1: It is, Joe, It's awesome.

11
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:51,600
Speaker 3: The power of the military, the power of the people

12
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 3: in the military is incredible. We can do anything we're

13
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 3: asked to do.

14
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: The US military can do anything. I love how on

15
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,959
Speaker 1: MSNBC they have to qualify it, you know, I don't

16
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 1: want to be too much of a cheer leader here.

17
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 1: Same show on Morning Joe Today, they had David Ignatius

18
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 1: of the Washington Post and he had to qualify his statement.

19
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 1: I don't want to be you know, I don't want

20
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:14,679
Speaker 1: to be giving Trump too much credit here. But the

21
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: point of his article was this sent a message to

22
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 1: China and Russia that is going to back them off.

23
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 1: A fair amount of the United States sometimes does what

24
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: it's threatening and can do it really, really well, So

25
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 1: keep that in mind.

26
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, the whole narrative, well Trump always chickens out was

27
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 4: wildly overrated, the whole taco thing, But the question of

28
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 4: does he make blustery threats and doesn't really intend to

29
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 4: live up to him, that question was out there. I'd

30
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 4: say this changes the calculus significantly.

31
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 1: Well, and stopping Iran from getting a nuclear weapon is

32
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 1: a different topic than tariffs too, just completely different worlds.

33
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: A couple of things for you, Well, I do this first,

34
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: or this first before I get to the let's hear

35
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: from Mike Lions, and then we'll get to the breaking news.

36
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: It's not so breaking that I feel like I need

37
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 1: to get it on this second. We talked to Mike Lynes,

38
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 1: one of our favorite military analysts, this morning. He had

39
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: a couple of things to say. We thought we'd repeat.

40
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 3: Classic Iranian playbook. They sow fear within our country, saying

41
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 3: we're going to really sleeper cells. You know, they must

42
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 3: watch the same movies that made here in Hollywood, because

43
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 3: I just think that's completely overblown. They will likely try

44
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 3: to maybe target some American forces that are in the area,

45
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 3: that are close that are all that are all buttoned

46
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 3: up right now? Every one of those missiles they try

47
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 3: to fire at them has a return address, and I

48
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 3: guarantee it as soon as one of them leave the

49
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 3: tube on that side, there will be something in return

50
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,519
Speaker 3: going in the other direction. This president is not going

51
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 3: to sit back and take and take it.

52
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 1: So that's to the what could Iran do or will

53
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: they do something back as a you know, a response.

54
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 1: Fox News alert sources to Fox imminent threat of Iranians

55
00:02:54,480 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 1: Iranian strike on US You I'm going to learn to

56
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 1: install windows? How long would that take it this age?

57
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 4: Hey, you got an apprentice for a few years, really

58
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 4: get it down. But you don't need to be able

59
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 4: to talk to do that, right, So maybe the good

60
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,239
Speaker 4: morning of your your clients and.

61
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,399
Speaker 1: Maybe that'd be a better job choice for you. Your coworkers.

62
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: Sources to Fox imminent threat of Iranian strike on US

63
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 1: base in Qatar. So they have some info on that.

64
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: We'll see if that's true or not. I've been wondering

65
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 1: what the Mullahs think they would get out of an

66
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: attack and what's their endgame. Mike Lions spoke to that

67
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 1: a little bit.

68
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 3: There's no negotiation that's going to take place. They're not

69
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 3: interested in talking, They're interested in just surviving and delaying.

70
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 3: But they're in such a bad point strategically right now.

71
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 3: I just I just think they're going to do it.

72
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 3: I wouldn't be surprised if they get on planes and left.

73
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 3: I think that's gonna the only survival that the switzerlander

74
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 3: gets some other place, and that's the only thing. Wow,

75
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 3: sure they're survival at this point.

76
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 1: I don't know that I want that.

77
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 4: I thought it was notable that after the devastating American attacks,

78
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 4: the Iyatola came out with a blistering statement against Israel,

79
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 4: didn't even mention the Great Satan. Now was that a

80
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 4: faint Does he or the Republican Guard actually intend Revolutionary

81
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 4: Guard intend to go after the US directly? Boy, that

82
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 4: seems like a suicide mission to both of us. But

83
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 4: they might feel like they have to to have any legitimacy.

84
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 1: Man, I hadn't heard anybody other than Mike Lyons bring

85
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 1: up the idea of them. Maybe they jump on a

86
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 1: plane and do the whole dictator living out the rest

87
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 1: of their life somewhere else routine. But then there's nobody

88
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 1: running Iran and it could fall into you know, full

89
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 1: on Iraqi chaos.

90
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 4: Right right, that's possible. The interesting question is who's a

91
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 4: greed head inside Iran and who's an actual religious fundamentalist

92
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 4: nut job, Because if you're the part of the latter group,

93
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,839
Speaker 4: you're not going to take some sort of golden parachute

94
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 4: to live the rest of your life out in Monaco

95
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 4: or the UAE or whatever.

96
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: No way, and we haven't mentioned this for a while,

97
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 1: just in case you don't know. So everybody supporting the

98
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: Trump administration went on all the talk shows yesterday and said,

99
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 1: this is not a war with Iran, and we're not

100
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 1: about regime change. We are not interested in regime change.

101
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,600
Speaker 1: Regime change. No, if you say regime change again, I'm

102
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,280
Speaker 1: gonna slap you because that's not our thing. And then Trump,

103
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 1: like after all those people went on the shows, tweet

104
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:29,039
Speaker 1: it out it's not politically correct to use the term

105
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: regime change. But if the current Iranian regime is unable

106
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 1: to make Iran great again, why wouldn't there be a

107
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:39,559
Speaker 1: regime change Mega Miga make Iran great again.

108
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 4: It's a great example of Trump not observing the rules

109
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 4: of diplomacy and standard presidential statements, and.

110
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 1: Sometimes I think that's a mistake.

111
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 4: Sometimes I think, who doesn't think everybody wants the iatola

112
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 4: to go? Everybody wants him to go. He just set

113
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 4: it out loud. It's not that crazy. Well, that empowers

114
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 4: forces within Iran to claim that it's a US directed

115
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 4: blah blah blah. I don't know how true all that's

116
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 4: I'm not worried about that statement. Yeah, so speaking of

117
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:20,159
Speaker 4: the Revolutionary Guard, really interesting situation now. Israeli strikes have

118
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,280
Speaker 4: taken out many of their senior personnel.

119
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,599
Speaker 1: Yes, the latest MTG. I don't think you had this

120
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:26,719
Speaker 1: in what you were reading earlier from Marjorie Taylor Green.

121
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 1: Only six months in and we're back into foreign wars.

122
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 1: It feels like a complete bait and switch to please

123
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 1: the neocons. Wow, from Marjorie Taylor Green and the Tucker crowd.

124
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 1: Open warfare with Trump seems like a bad idea. Yeah,

125
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:42,599
Speaker 1: we can get back to that, man, if you will think,

126
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 1: if you won't, think you are maga and Trump is

127
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:47,799
Speaker 1: just along for the ride. Well, I guess we're about

128
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 1: to find out. Yeah, we'll see how that goes.

129
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 4: But anyway, so the Revolutionary Guard battered Supreme leader Iatola

130
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 4: Kamaneeses role depends to a large extent of loyalty from

131
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 4: the Guard. Quoting from the Journal, he has empowered the

132
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 4: military force to the extent it's likely to outlive him.

133
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,479
Speaker 4: But if Kamanie were toppled or killed, the Revolutionary Guard

134
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 4: most likely to step in and dictate a new ruler

135
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 4: and run the show. I just think these organizations are really,

136
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 4: really interesting and Americans can't relate to them at all.

137
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 4: Since its formation during the Great Brave Revolution in nineteen

138
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 4: seventy nine, the IRGC has been the most powerful branch

139
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 4: of Iran's armed forces, and it's separate from and more

140
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 4: powerful than the National Army. It has its own ground forces,

141
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 4: its own navy, its own air force, its own intelligence

142
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 4: and special forces, totaling around one hundred and twenty five

143
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 4: thousand dollars. It is also deeply embedded in Iran's economic system,

144
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 4: political affairs, and social fabric. It has an expansive economic empire.

145
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 1: The Guard dominates all major.

146
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 4: Infrastruate ructure sectors, including oil and gas, construction, and telecommunications.

147
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 4: The Revolutionary Guard is there Exxon, it's their what's a

148
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 4: giant construction company, and they're at and t it's also

149
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 4: damn near their Amazon dot Com and their Walmart, and

150
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 4: they're separate even nominate tourism, and they're separate from the army. Yes,

151
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 4: But so my question would be, since Israel has killed

152
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 4: the leaders of the army and the leaders of the

153
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 4: Revolutionary Guard, do.

154
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:38,440
Speaker 1: We know how they would react the new leaders? No.

155
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 1: I mean, you can make educated guesses, but they did.

156
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 1: But they wouldn't have the cult of personality that you

157
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 1: usually have as a military leader when you're gonna take

158
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 1: over a country. No, that's absolutely correct.

159
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 4: Although again, my point in describing this, and there's a

160
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:55,960
Speaker 4: little more to it, but is that this is a

161
00:08:56,280 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 4: giant corporation. It is much more like than it is

162
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 4: the United States Army because it has its hands in

163
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 4: so many different industries and economic activities.

164
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:09,439
Speaker 1: So is your belief that they're motivated by money as

165
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 1: opposed to bringing back the thirteenth Madi or whatever of

166
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 1: that all stuff is? Yeah, that's the super interesting part

167
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:16,840
Speaker 1: of it.

168
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 4: It's difficult to say, I have a feeling you got

169
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:24,680
Speaker 4: guys who are ninety ten greed heads versus religious fanatics

170
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 4: and guys who are ten ninety in the other direction.

171
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 1: But if they're mostly just businessmen. They're like you know,

172
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: Putin or the oligarchs in Russia. Then we might be

173
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 1: okay with that, right, It'd be like lcc run in Egypt,

174
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 1: right exactly.

175
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:42,839
Speaker 4: Yeah, That's one of the reasons I was kind of

176
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:45,840
Speaker 4: enthused about bringing this up is I think dealing with

177
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 4: the greed heads would be a great option for the

178
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 4: rest of the world because you can do business with them.

179
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 1: Now.

180
00:09:56,200 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 4: Trump one of Trump's blind spots is I think this

181
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 4: less now, I guess than I used to.

182
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 1: But he always thinks.

183
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,680
Speaker 4: The offer to make a lot of money and bring

184
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 4: prosperity to your people, whether it's Putin or the Ietola

185
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,959
Speaker 4: or whatever, he thinks that's irresistible because that's how he

186
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,599
Speaker 4: sees the world. And Putin's like, no, I'm going to

187
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:19,439
Speaker 4: restore the Great Russian Empire and I'm going to be

188
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 4: Peter the Great, So thanks anyway. And the Mullas obviously

189
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,839
Speaker 4: are like, no, it's all about Allah and and I

190
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:30,079
Speaker 4: don't need money really. On the other hand, the Revolutionary

191
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 4: Guard guys, a lot of the higher ups, they're great heads,

192
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:36,320
Speaker 4: they're mobsters, they're business people, and I think you probably

193
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 4: could deal with them, maybe.

194
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 1: Got a little tip for you, based on recent major

195
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 1: news events about how you should take in news. If

196
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 1: you're doing it the old way. If you hear something's

197
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 1: happening and you flip on CNN, man, you are way

198
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 1: behind and ain't the way to do it. Plus you

199
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 1: got to look at wolf Blitzer. I want to suspend

200
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 1: their Saturday evening looking at wolf Blitzer, not even missus Blitzer.

201
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 1: Thats mean spirited. That and other stuff on the way.

202
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 1: Stay here. So a couple of different things for you.

203
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 1: Changing times. You gotta change your You gotta adjust your

204
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 1: sales for the changing times. Man, have you ever seriously

205
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 1: considered you're an iPhone guy? I'm an iPhone guy. Have

206
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 1: you ever seriously considered abandoning the iPhone for one of

207
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 1: the other smartphones? Not seriously. I looked into it once.

208
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 1: I've never seriously done it, just because it seems like

209
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 1: could be in a tremendous pain in the ass because

210
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 1: I got everything tied into Apple. Although our friend Craig

211
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 1: did it and he squears by it. He is he

212
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:46,560
Speaker 1: a Samsung guy. Yes, yeah, but he likes the phone

213
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 1: better and says it wasn't that hard. And they've got

214
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 1: to wait yes, Katie opinion on this. Oh, I'm the

215
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 1: complete opposite. I switched for a year, and I'll that

216
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: was a huge mistake. Oh really, would you switch to

217
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,559
Speaker 1: Samsung Note? Okay? And you didn't dig it and you

218
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 1: went back. And I just came across this, And this

219
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 1: is from a consultant person who doesn't seem to have

220
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 1: a dog in this fight. But they said, Samsung just

221
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 1: ended the iPhone era. The Galaxy S twenty five AI

222
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 1: is five years ahead of where Apple is currently and

223
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,320
Speaker 1: they aren't gonna catch up in terms of their AI

224
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 1: abilities anyway. I was looking at some of the examples

225
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 1: of things you can do with pictures, video, and voice

226
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 1: on the phone with their AI, and it looks pretty

227
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 1: damned impressive. I'm not gonna switch. I just it just

228
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:32,559
Speaker 1: seems like a pain in the ass and I'm perfectly

229
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 1: happy with what I got. But yeah, any examples that

230
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 1: leap out, Well, you know that thing that you hate

231
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 1: but I enjoy is the turning into everything into babies talking, Oh, well,

232
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,960
Speaker 1: you can do that on your phone easily. And it

233
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 1: was just to demonstrate the being able to assign voices

234
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 1: to videos or edit audio inside of videos that you

235
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 1: take and then blah blah blah these different things that

236
00:12:57,840 --> 00:12:59,679
Speaker 1: they said is super easy to do, you can't currently

237
00:12:59,720 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 1: do it.

238
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 4: I could see if you're part of the hardcore, especially

239
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 4: young social media crowd, that'd be really attractive.

240
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 1: I don't have the time, but right, yeah, but that'll

241
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 1: be interesting to see if Samsung is way ahead in

242
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 1: the whole AI in the phone thing, as I've become

243
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 1: such a chat GPT guy as opposed to Google. Now

244
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 1: again to the changing times, we got a new robotaxi

245
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:28,200
Speaker 1: ladies and germs. Tesla announced over the weekend. Robotaxis are here,

246
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 1: the Tesla robo taxi. They're launched them in Austin, where

247
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:36,079
Speaker 1: Elon lives. This would be to compete with Waimo, completely

248
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 1: autonomous out there driving around on their own Tesla's and

249
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 1: their stock is up ten percent on that news today,

250
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 1: So we'll see how good they are or not. I

251
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 1: don't know.

252
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:49,840
Speaker 4: So rioters can surround Tesla's and set them on fire.

253
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know how often that's going to happen,

254
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 1: if that's a big deal or not. I don't have

255
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 1: any idea. And then I came across this. I was

256
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 1: going to mention today about how if you're not going

257
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:09,079
Speaker 1: to Twitter, or maybe you have a different social media

258
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 1: thing you go to Instagram or something. I don't know,

259
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 1: for when news breaks, you're just you so far behind.

260
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 1: I was kind of monitoring cable news while I was

261
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 1: doing Twitter as news came out that we had bombed

262
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 1: around and cable news was so far behind. And I

263
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 1: don't mean just like sixty seconds or five minutes. It's

264
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 1: like you took like an hour later before they would

265
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 1: bring you the news. You were reading on Twitter from

266
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of different sources. And if you care

267
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 1: about breaking news and big stories, that's the way to go.

268
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 1: And then I saw this from Barry Weiss, who we

269
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 1: really like, who's over at the Free Press, because somebody

270
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 1: had tweeted out with all the resources CBS, NBC, ABC,

271
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 1: CNN have to report in quote breaking news, I turned

272
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 1: to the FP live stream, the Free Press live stream

273
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 1: Saturday to night to get in depth analysis immediately, way

274
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 1: ahead of all those channels. Barry White said, thank you.

275
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 1: I'm so proud of the FP team. So I hadn't

276
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: even looked into that, But there are much better sources

277
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 1: for breaking news out there than the old cable news

278
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 1: if I was the old cable news, I don't know

279
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 1: why you don't just like, have somebody read from Twitter

280
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 1: on there better off if you had Anderson Cooper flipping

281
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 1: through Twitter and reading tweets, then whatever CNN reporting they.

282
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 4: Have, Yeah, that would that would kind of put a

283
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 4: fine point on it, though, I think that would illustrate.

284
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 4: You know, why would I have Anderson Cooper read it

285
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 4: to me?

286
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 1: I can read, so you learned when I was a

287
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 1: little kid. So you think MSNBC and CNN they're just

288
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 1: holding on to the fact that their old viewers haven't

289
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 1: caught on to the fact that they can get all

290
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 1: this an hour earlier and from better sources somewhere else.

291
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 1: Ding for what.

292
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 4: It's worth, the I heard that Free Press live stream

293
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 4: later and it was it was unbelievably good.

294
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 1: Really, I've got a JAP on that Next Time Experts

295
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,479
Speaker 1: on Tehran and Italy, Italy.

296
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 4: Israel and warfare and stuff up at three o'clock in

297
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 4: the morning where they were talking about it in depth.

298
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 1: It was really really good.

299
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 4: I mean, you gotta be really into it to enjoy

300
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 4: it because it was in depth, but it was very,

301
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 4: very impressive.

302
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 1: There is a YouTube channel our boss turned us on

303
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 1: to where a guy basically does sit there and scroll

304
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 1: through Twitter and just give you all the latest stuff.

305
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 1: And he's pretty good at which Twitter sites to go to.

306
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 1: But that's where news breaks. If there's a shooting or

307
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 1: anything happens, a protests in La you go on Twitter,

308
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 1: you will get more news. You'll get videos that they

309
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 1: won't have till the next day on your cable news channels.

310
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, la boo boos are everything that's wrong with America.

311
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 4: I'm not sure we'll have time to get to that today.

312
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 4: By tomorrow, la boo boos. So it's creepy looking freaky dolls.

313
00:16:57,520 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 4: The deep are all hot to trot for that made

314
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 4: the dumb cup looks smart.

315
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:04,440
Speaker 1: Somehow I missed the labooboo trend. Okay, you'll have to

316
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 1: bring me up speed on that.

317
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 4: But Jack, you were hot to trot to discuss the uh.

318
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:11,920
Speaker 1: Friends have morality?

319
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:12,159
Speaker 4: No?

320
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 1: Can you have morality without faith? Discussion Strong and.

321
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:20,200
Speaker 5: Getty, what was the celebration like when you guys got

322
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,120
Speaker 5: to the locker room, Because we when we got there,

323
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 5: there wasn't threwn't.

324
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 1: Bottles being put up like you normally see.

325
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:26,119
Speaker 4: Do we miss that?

326
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 5: And how much. I mean, first of all, none of

327
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 5: us knew how to do it, so so it was

328
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 5: more like, you know, like it was like YouTube tutorials

329
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:36,719
Speaker 5: and so we were just asking Ac how to do it,

330
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:40,160
Speaker 5: and so it was it was a kind of not

331
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 5: really instanc because no one know.

332
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 1: How to do it.

333
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:45,919
Speaker 5: But yeah, shout out to AC for kind of teaching

334
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,400
Speaker 5: us how to woo champagne. I guess.

335
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:50,639
Speaker 1: So that's one of the young players of the Oklahoma

336
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 1: City Thunder, very young team and uh, the younger generation

337
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 1: that doesn't drink much or doesn't drink that they had

338
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,440
Speaker 1: all the champagne bottles in there for the big pop

339
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 1: in the court spray and celebration. None of the young

340
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:05,160
Speaker 1: players knew how to open a bottle of champaigne.

341
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 4: So well, let's best they held off till somebody who

342
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:09,360
Speaker 4: knew what they were doing was on hand. You can

343
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:12,640
Speaker 4: lose an eye that way, Jack, Yeah, they're the youngest

344
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 4: team in.

345
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 1: The NBA, the champions. Maybe they needed a bunch of

346
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:22,479
Speaker 1: eight pens or something. Yeah, no, kidding, marijuanas to smoke.

347
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 1: I think the kids do.

348
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 4: Brought this up briefly at the beginning of the show,

349
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 4: and Jack expressed interest in following up on it. Frequent

350
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:34,879
Speaker 4: correspondent Pawlow talking about the question.

351
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:36,120
Speaker 1: Of morality without faith.

352
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 4: That sort of thing I believe I quoted Tokeville maybe

353
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 4: was the freedom ofving quote of the day. In fact,

354
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 4: they probably should have dug it up that you can't

355
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 4: have liberty without morality and you can't have morality without faith.

356
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 1: The first one is true, the second one is an

357
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:57,679
Speaker 1: open question. Yeah, and Poolo said, I think you absolutely can.

358
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:00,399
Speaker 4: Morality is a set of beliefs about how we behave

359
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,160
Speaker 4: that lead to the best possible outcome for humanity. Can

360
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 4: be a constitutional framework governing human behavior. For instance, faith

361
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:10,120
Speaker 4: is a mode of belief that makes the belief immutable.

362
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 4: Faith can support morality, promote adherence to it. It can

363
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:17,920
Speaker 4: also promote the dogma of Iranian theocrats, can mean the faithful.

364
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 4: It can make the faithful immune to logic and reason,

365
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 4: and that's scary.

366
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 1: Well, I've never particularly liked the argument against religion that

367
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:30,400
Speaker 1: because sometimes it's used poorly, then it's all bad. I've

368
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:35,440
Speaker 1: never bought that argument, and sometimes it is used very poorly.

369
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:41,439
Speaker 1: As we all know, lots of quotes from the Founding

370
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 1: fathers about how this whole thing doesn't work unless we're

371
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:50,680
Speaker 1: a moral people. Practically everybody was religious back in the day.

372
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 1: The question of do you need to be religious to

373
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 1: be moral, while it seems like it should be, you

374
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 1: wouldn't need to be ever been done before. I mean,

375
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 1: it's kind of kind of a new concept, fairly new,

376
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 1: like you know, last half century or something. Europe's trying it, but.

377
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 4: Right, well, and layer that experiment on top of the

378
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:20,719
Speaker 4: layer of the experiment of multiculturalism and not like multi

379
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:25,440
Speaker 4: ethnicity or multi you know, huge skins, just literally completely

380
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 4: different worldviews, cultural views. Trying to establish a secular morality

381
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 4: in that situation is really really hard.

382
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 1: Yeah what what well we won't find out for decades,

383
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 1: maybe a century or more. To find out is if

384
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 1: you have to have the underpinning of a culture that

385
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:51,200
Speaker 1: had religion through and through forever, Yes, and then we've

386
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 1: got this morality hangover even as belief in God maybe

387
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 1: disappears or church going disappears. The cultural norm of you know,

388
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 1: not lying that stealing now whatever has hung around, will

389
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,879
Speaker 1: that continue to hang around without the underpinning of religion.

390
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,640
Speaker 1: Nobody knows that to claim you know that, I don't

391
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 1: know what you're basing that on.

392
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 4: Wow, that's an interesting point, kind of a cultural half

393
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 4: life of Christian values. Yeah, well, and it is. And

394
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 4: I use the term Christian informedly or intentionally. You there

395
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 4: are very very, very different moral precepts to each of

396
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:37,680
Speaker 4: the world's major religions, although Jadaism and Christianity are very

397
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 4: very close in a lot of ways. And I would

398
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 4: argue that, you know, his citing the molahs in Ran

399
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 4: for instances, that's almost a different topic because the concept

400
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 4: of what is morality in Islam is very very different

401
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 4: than Christianity, practically unrecognizable in a lot of ways.

402
00:21:57,880 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 1: And so.

403
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:04,119
Speaker 4: I don't know where we go from here, honestly, because

404
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 4: it is like the question of organizing society. Without what

405
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 4: you were describing, Jack, a general agreement on moral principles.

406
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 4: The only thing you can go to, as Paolo pointed out,

407
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 4: was like a constitutional framework governing human behavior. Well, I

408
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:24,400
Speaker 4: would suggest Polo that it would have to be much

409
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:27,919
Speaker 4: much more widespread and specific than that. It would have

410
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:33,159
Speaker 4: to be something approaching totalitarianism, because there would be no

411
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:37,119
Speaker 4: common moral precepts that would make laws X, Y, and

412
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:43,159
Speaker 4: Z completely unnecessary anyway, or at least not necessary very often,

413
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 4: because nobody would do that except if they've lost their mind.

414
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 1: Where do most people's moral compasses come from the Bible?

415
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:57,200
Speaker 1: Maybe I went to Sunday School and church as a kid,

416
00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 1: so maybe it's that. I think it's probably more more

417
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 1: that my parents just told me repeatedly as a kid

418
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:09,239
Speaker 1: that stealing is wrong, So you know you do, and

419
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:11,239
Speaker 1: you just get that into your head and he's like,

420
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 1: what I do not not steal? How many negatives is that?

421
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:20,359
Speaker 1: Where did I end up with tracking with you? Because

422
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 1: I think I'm going to be punished by God. It

423
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 1: doesn't even cross my mind a punishment from God. I

424
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 1: just to me, it's just simple that society would break

425
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 1: down if we all just stole. So I don't you

426
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:34,919
Speaker 1: shouldn't it. I don't want my kids do. It'd just

427
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:36,399
Speaker 1: be the end of society if we did.

428
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:40,679
Speaker 4: Well, it's somebody else's work from them, right, You've denied

429
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:43,200
Speaker 4: them the fruits of their labor, which is disgusting.

430
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 1: Have you ever known anybody that didn't have that moral compass.

431
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 1: I've known several and it's always just so mind boggling

432
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 1: to me. I had a boss one time, gladys if

433
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:57,679
Speaker 1: you could tell me I had this boss. He actually

434
00:23:57,720 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 1: was the owner of this night club that I worked at,

435
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:07,359
Speaker 1: and I remember the topic came up. Somebody left assigned

436
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 1: government refund check. I don't know exactly what it was,

437
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 1: but it was in a situation where like, if you

438
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 1: had it, you could have taken the bank and cashed it.

439
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 1: Somebody left it behind, and then somebody returned it to

440
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 1: the original person because their name was on the check.

441
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 1: And he couldn't understand why anybody would do that. It

442
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 1: just didn't make any sense to him whatsoever. Well, he

443
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 1: left it behind, that's you know, finders, keepers, losers, weepers.

444
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 1: That's his problem, not mine. It just didn't make any

445
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 1: sense to him whatsoever that you wouldn't take it because

446
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 1: you could, which blew my mind.

447
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 4: But I mean, sociopathya think are just kind of from

448
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:51,680
Speaker 4: a tougher life.

449
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 1: And he wasn't. Forget to get your He wasn't from

450
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:58,479
Speaker 1: a tough life at all. They were hardcore businessmen, all

451
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:00,679
Speaker 1: of them wealthy. His family was wealthy, and he and

452
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 1: his brothers were wealthy. They were all wealthy. But it

453
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 1: was a very I'm going to get killed for this,

454
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 1: I think Trumpian way of looking at the world of

455
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:14,440
Speaker 1: just No, it's just a it's a constant battle over,

456
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:17,159
Speaker 1: you know, I got over. You should have hung on

457
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,919
Speaker 1: to your stuff, yeah, Or you should have made a

458
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:21,679
Speaker 1: better business deal, or you should have thought of that

459
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 1: before I did this. I win, you lose. That's the

460
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 1: way life is, you know.

461
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 4: I'm always going on about how a lot of politicians

462
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 4: and a lot of people ignore the fact that post

463
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 4: World War Two America was a thing that will never

464
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:43,919
Speaker 4: exist again. It was a situation that will never exist again,

465
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 4: or at least not very close. Europe decimated, a lot

466
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 4: of Asia still living in huts, except for Japan, which

467
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:55,919
Speaker 4: was decimated and under our thumb, and we had a

468
00:25:56,000 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 4: virtual monopoly on advanced manufacturing and global trade, shipping in

469
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 4: the restaurant, and that standard of living in that lifestyle

470
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 4: became the norm, even though the situation that gave birth

471
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:12,400
Speaker 4: to it was completely not the norm and never would

472
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 4: be again. Well, I think we have a similar thing

473
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:18,199
Speaker 4: going on culturally that nobody wants to talk about, and

474
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:22,400
Speaker 4: I will talk about it right now. We are coming

475
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 4: out of a period of cultural homogenitity.

476
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 1: We are homogeneous as a culture.

477
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 4: Judeo Christian principles European principles and particularly dominated by the

478
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 4: principles of the United Kingdom, were such a thick vein

479
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:49,119
Speaker 4: of what we were as a people that everybody just

480
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:52,200
Speaker 4: assumed that was so. And there's certainly spice around the

481
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 4: edges of different cultures and people and perspectives, but we

482
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 4: had such a thick vein of Judeo Christian Magna Carta,

483
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:04,879
Speaker 4: English common law declaration of independent principles. It made everything way,

484
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 4: way easier. Not that it was easy. I mean, there's

485
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:11,359
Speaker 4: plenty of terrible things that went on, but that is gone.

486
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 4: Now it is gone. We are truly becoming multi cultural

487
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 4: in a way that will be extremely difficult to manage.

488
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:22,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I was just thinking of people I've known

489
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:25,360
Speaker 1: that don't have that moral compass, at least that kind

490
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:28,439
Speaker 1: of moral compass. Like the examples I'm thinking of, they

491
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:31,400
Speaker 1: weren't gonna they weren't gonna rape or kill or anything

492
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 1: like that that certainly financially they were willing. You know,

493
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 1: it's just if I can, I should, and you should too.

494
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 1: And it's whoever wins wins. I've known several successful business

495
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:44,120
Speaker 1: people like that.

496
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:49,400
Speaker 4: Well, and there are several very very important countries where

497
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:53,480
Speaker 4: that is the cultural norm to cheat somebody successfully is

498
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:57,159
Speaker 4: not looked upon as being despicable. It's looked upon as

499
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 4: the same as winning a tennis match.

500
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 1: Yeah you were better. Yeah. Yeah. The people I've known

501
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 1: that were like, I was better than you, and you

502
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:09,200
Speaker 1: should be better next time, which is interesting. Most vast

503
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:11,160
Speaker 1: majority of business people have known have not been that way,

504
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 1: but I have known several, and then I've also known

505
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 1: just like losers who can't get anywhere of life, who

506
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 1: believe that because they're just yeah, amoral.

507
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:20,440
Speaker 4: I don't want to get angry letters and have to

508
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 4: get dragged into a meeting. Lord knows at this point,

509
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:25,720
Speaker 4: but yeah, a fellow who is an immigrant to the

510
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 4: United States from a particular land which may or may

511
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:31,399
Speaker 4: not be in the news pretty frequently, was it in

512
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 4: that whole country? No, well, it kind of is now,

513
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 4: but it shouldn't be anyway. He was explaining to me

514
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 4: the cultural norms of getting over on somebody in business,

515
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 4: and how the deception was not looked upon his fraud.

516
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 1: It's looked upon his cleverness.

517
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 4: It's one of the tools you exercise in a way

518
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 4: that is would be extremely unfamiliar to most Americans. In fact, hell,

519
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 4: we've got that, you know, thousands of pages of legal

520
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 4: codes saying you'll go to jail if you do that.

521
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 4: Not there, it's normal. I heard another giant economy being

522
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 4: described by somebody who had lived and worked all over

523
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 4: the world, had quite an auspicious career. He described that

524
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 4: large economy is a nation of thieves.

525
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 1: Huh. So, getting back to the original question, do you

526
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 1: need to have the faith to get the morality which

527
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 1: is required for us to succeed? I don't know, but

528
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 1: nobody's run this experiment as far as I know.

529
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:40,040
Speaker 4: All Right, captain metaphor, this is my final thought. Here's

530
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 4: your metaphor. The answer is faith to morality to order

531
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:50,240
Speaker 4: is a lot like water to the soil that you're

532
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 4: growing your lawn in. For instance, when you cut off

533
00:29:55,880 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 4: the water of coherent religious belief, like the Judeo Christian principles,

534
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 4: you cut that water off, the lawn will live for

535
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 4: a certain amount of time, but then it'll die.

536
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well it's a two step process. We're going to

537
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 1: find out what a powerful metaphor.

538
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:19,040
Speaker 4: Iran breaking news, breaking news, Iran has attacked the US

539
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:19,760
Speaker 4: basin cutter.

540
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 1: Oh really, let's come back with details on that. Holy cow,

541
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go to Twitter not to see an end

542
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:31,239
Speaker 1: to find out what's going on. Stay tuned. So what

543
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:33,720
Speaker 1: was it? A couple of hours ago, Fox was reporting

544
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 1: that an attack on our military base in Qatar was imminent.

545
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:44,479
Speaker 1: And then it turns out as this happened, makes you wonder,

546
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 1: does it not? What do you wonder? Well? For instance,

547
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 1: Axios reported Israel had detected UH missile launchers being moved

548
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 1: in Iran positioned it look like to attack our military base.

549
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 1: Is it possible? I think likely? Actually that Iran was, Hey,

550
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 1: moving our missile launchers just out in the open here

551
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 1: so everybody can see it, moving them here, pointing them

552
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:19,400
Speaker 1: toward the Qatar, toward your empty military base. Here we go.

553
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 1: You're ready, just want to make sure you see this

554
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 1: coming so you can shoot them down. Here we go.

555
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 1: We watched our righteous vengeance. Here we go, striking a blow.

556
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 1: Now we're launching our missiles and you shut them down. Well,

557
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 1: I'll be darned anyway. We retaliated. We save face. See,

558
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 1: we aren't just gonna take it lying down. Everything good?

559
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:43,760
Speaker 1: Here are we done? Now? Boy? You may not be right,

560
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 1: but I think you are does have that feel. Yeah,

561
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 1: now you remember, now we got everybody out of our

562
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 1: Katari military base, a bunch of our military bases. Last week.

563
00:31:56,400 --> 00:32:02,000
Speaker 1: We talked about that. But remember remember when Iran did

564
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 1: their face saving retaliation after Sulimani was killed and they

565
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:13,360
Speaker 1: scrambled the brains of some of our soldiers. And Trump

566
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 1: downplayed it too. He did try to keep the peace

567
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 1: so that we wouldn't have to respond. But I didn't

568
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 1: think that was cool at all. No, no, indeed.

569
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:28,000
Speaker 4: But it's a different time, different situation. But and I

570
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 4: remember their face saving attack against Israel turned out to

571
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 4: be hundreds and hundreds of weapons and may well have

572
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:38,440
Speaker 4: been partly face saving, but partly also just trying to

573
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:41,280
Speaker 4: exhaust their defensive weaponry, their number of shells.

574
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, so we'll see. Qatar is temporarily suspended air traffic

575
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 1: in its airspace to ensure the safety of citizens, residents

576
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:54,200
Speaker 1: and visitors. I was going to vacation. We're on vacation

577
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 1: next week and we are going, me and the kids,

578
00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 1: We're going to Quitar. But I guess we aren't now.

579
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:02,920
Speaker 1: I guess we'll have to make it to h Saudi Arabia.

580
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:05,720
Speaker 1: What are your other fun countries? To go to. I

581
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 1: was actually reading about it. What's the one of your Dubai.

582
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 4: One of those gleaming, super modern mega cities, just astonishing

583
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:20,680
Speaker 4: architecture and attractions and recreation and the rest of it.

584
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:23,360
Speaker 4: It's a hell of a long trip, but it'd be

585
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:26,280
Speaker 4: a wild experience. I know a lot of you listening

586
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 4: have probably gone to your Dubais and that sort of thing.

587
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, someday. My brother has been to all those places

588
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:35,800
Speaker 1: and they are quite spectacular. I'm actually going to Florida

589
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 1: in June. It is going to be very very hot

590
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 1: and very very humid, but not very crowded because nobody

591
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 1: wants to be there, So that's the trade off you make.

592
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:46,880
Speaker 4: You gott to warn the boys they got cocker roaches there.

593
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:48,680
Speaker 4: You could saddle up and ride to town.

594
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:52,480
Speaker 1: I'm more worried about mosquitoes. Gonna have a lot because

595
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:55,360
Speaker 1: we're going to go to the Everglades all the middle

596
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:58,040
Speaker 1: of summer. It's going to be very hot, very mosquitoed.

597
00:33:58,600 --> 00:33:59,520
Speaker 1: What do you canter bait?

598
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:02,480
Speaker 4: M Strong?

599
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 1: Tom Strong? You ready with Katie.

600
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:10,160
Speaker 4: Green and.

601
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 1: Here's your host for final thoughts, Joe Getty.

602
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:19,680
Speaker 4: How about a final thought from everybody on the crew

603
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 4: to wrap up the show.

604
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:24,120
Speaker 1: There is pressing the buttons. Michaelangelo lead us off, Michael, do.

605
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:27,600
Speaker 2: You think that if the Iranian people rise up and

606
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:30,399
Speaker 2: throughout their leaders, that the Y M c A Dance

607
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:31,280
Speaker 2: will come to Iran?

608
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:35,480
Speaker 1: That's a very good question. It is a beautiful dream, Michael.

609
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 1: Katie Green or a Steam newswoman has a final thought.

610
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:41,040
Speaker 2: I have several words that make my skin crawl, and

611
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:43,880
Speaker 2: you guys added one this morning when Jack said festering.

612
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:47,720
Speaker 1: You don't like the word faster. I don't that word?

613
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:52,879
Speaker 1: Not a good word? Uncle Fester from the Adams family. No, Yeah,

614
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:56,400
Speaker 1: I don't know fest Range Jack. Final thoughts for us

615
00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:58,840
Speaker 1: shall we went on vacation one time when nine to

616
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:01,200
Speaker 1: eleven happened, and when you came back to work, I

617
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 1: was in England. Is there anything that could happen that

618
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 1: would bring us back from a vacation At this point,

619
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:08,320
Speaker 1: I feel like we've had so many crazy things happen.

620
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:12,480

00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:13,480
Speaker 4: like tempting fate.

00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:18,160

00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:26,319
Speaker 1: Over the weekend, two rounds, both very very good.

627
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:28,480
Speaker 4: But I am old and wise now, and I am

628
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:31,400
Speaker 4: fully cognizant of the fact that I will suck again

629
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:35,120
Speaker 4: and soon such as the nature of the game.
