This is The Armstrong Getty Show live on 0:00:45.920 --> 0:00:49.880 this Friday, June the twenty seventh, the year of Our Lord, 0:00:50.000 --> 0:00:55.120 twenty twenty five, the last show before vacation. In fact, 0:00:55.640 --> 0:00:59.800 Jack is already on vacation, winging his way towards sunny 0:00:59.800 --> 0:01:05.720 flo with his voice for an Independence Day holiday. Speaking 0:01:05.720 --> 0:01:09.120 of which, Speaking of which, we have a lot of 0:01:09.160 --> 0:01:13.640 great guests today to talk about not only the events 0:01:13.640 --> 0:01:19.280 of the day, but Independence Day, the United States, our history, 0:01:19.640 --> 0:01:23.960 our Constitution. The fabulous Tim Sandefer is going to join 0:01:24.040 --> 0:01:27.120 us for an hour to talk about the Declaration of 0:01:27.120 --> 0:01:33.280 Independence and more specifically, how the Declaration of Independence is, 0:01:33.440 --> 0:01:35.240 as he put it in the title of his excellent 0:01:35.240 --> 0:01:37.040 book that came out a few years ago, the conscience 0:01:37.040 --> 0:01:45.280 of the Constitution, and how the balance of liberty versus 0:01:45.880 --> 0:01:51.680 democracy has gotten way off kilter in our country and 0:01:51.720 --> 0:01:53.840 that we need to continue to pull it back towards 0:01:53.880 --> 0:01:56.840 liberty as hard and as fast as we can, the 0:01:56.920 --> 0:02:00.520 idea being that the whole intent to this country was 0:02:00.560 --> 0:02:04.040 that the no matter what the majority wanted, you could 0:02:04.080 --> 0:02:09.240 not vote away liberty. You could not vote government control 0:02:09.320 --> 0:02:14.320 in the wet blanket, the suffocating, wet blanket of government 0:02:14.440 --> 0:02:17.520 over intervention into all of our lives and businesses. I 0:02:17.600 --> 0:02:20.040 hear what you say, too late, Joe, too late. Yeah, well, 0:02:20.360 --> 0:02:24.440 you're right. But I suppose the choice then becomes, do 0:02:24.520 --> 0:02:26.840 we do whatever we can to make it better or 0:02:28.480 --> 0:02:32.120 do we just let it become worse for our kids 0:02:32.160 --> 0:02:35.239 and our grandkids and posterity, etc. So anyway, I'm looking 0:02:35.240 --> 0:02:38.880 forward to that conversation. I'm going to talk to Congressman 0:02:38.960 --> 0:02:42.960 Kevin Kyley, one of our absolute faves from the House representatives, 0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:46.080 about a couple of different things, including cal Unicornia being 0:02:46.160 --> 0:02:50.040 busted by the Justice Department for violating Title nine, specifically 0:02:50.360 --> 0:02:55.120 letting dudes into girls' locker rooms and letting dudes whoop 0:02:55.200 --> 0:02:59.160 up on girls on the sports field, absolutely disgusting. And 0:02:59.200 --> 0:03:02.919 we're also looking forward to a conversation with Senator Roger 0:03:03.000 --> 0:03:06.520 Marshall of the Great State of Kansas about how the 0:03:06.520 --> 0:03:10.160 Big beautiful bill is coming, among other things, and specifically 0:03:11.720 --> 0:03:14.120 I want to talk to him about some of the 0:03:14.360 --> 0:03:17.560 measures in the world of education that are contained in 0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:21.519 that bill. It's flown so far under the radar, mostly 0:03:21.560 --> 0:03:26.080 because of the incredibly exciting and action packed international news 0:03:26.120 --> 0:03:30.880 these days, specifically you know, Visa, Iran and Israel. But 0:03:31.040 --> 0:03:36.600 there are some really interesting inroads being made, the battle 0:03:36.600 --> 0:03:42.119 lines being moved forward in the war against number one 0:03:42.320 --> 0:03:46.680 woke education but number two, and I was going to 0:03:46.760 --> 0:03:49.320 say maybe more importantly, but boy, they're both so important. 0:03:49.560 --> 0:03:56.520 But also the war against completely ineffective, union choked, useless 0:03:56.680 --> 0:04:01.760 government schools. What can we do to stim mulate competition 0:04:01.840 --> 0:04:05.960 and education, which might be the most important thing we 0:04:06.000 --> 0:04:09.000 can do as a country. It speaking of posterity in 0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:11.560 our kids and our grandkids. Boy, if we're serving them 0:04:11.600 --> 0:04:14.760 as ill as we've been with our government education system 0:04:14.880 --> 0:04:17.880 over the last couple of years, oh my goodness, may history, 0:04:18.279 --> 0:04:21.200 you know, dig up our graves and kick our bones. 0:04:21.320 --> 0:04:23.599 I mean, we've got to do better than that. So anyway, 0:04:23.600 --> 0:04:26.080 looking forward to that, and that's not even all of 0:04:26.360 --> 0:04:27.919 what we're doing. I just didn't want to, you know, 0:04:28.080 --> 0:04:29.760 make a list too long, so I hope you can 0:04:29.800 --> 0:04:32.520 stay tuned, Hope you enjoy it. This morning, we're tootling 0:04:32.680 --> 0:04:35.880 under the I'm sorry, we're laboring under the tutelage. I 0:04:35.960 --> 0:04:38.400 always say that. I want to say, we're tootling under 0:04:38.440 --> 0:04:42.799 the laborage, which is it rolls off the tongue. Katie, Yeah, 0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:47.360 you should change doctor Susian. Yeah, yeah, to hell with it. 0:04:47.360 --> 0:04:52.920 It's my, it's my, it's my Yogi beara esque signature phrase. 0:04:53.320 --> 0:04:56.960 This morning, we're tootling under the laborage of General Manager, 0:04:57.120 --> 0:05:04.880 Operation Narnia. You remember Operation Midnight Hammer, the very trumpy name, 0:05:05.320 --> 0:05:12.520 very trumpy name for us successfully executing that incredible, mind 0:05:12.560 --> 0:05:15.640 boggling mission of the thirty seven hour round trip the 0:05:15.680 --> 0:05:17.640 B two bombers and the bunker busters and the rest 0:05:17.640 --> 0:05:19.520 of it. And it's one of those things you know. 0:05:19.839 --> 0:05:22.320 None of us I'm well, actually some of your listening 0:05:22.320 --> 0:05:25.840 probably do know what it takes. But none of us 0:05:26.000 --> 0:05:30.560 here fully appreciated the complexity of the mission. I mean, 0:05:30.600 --> 0:05:35.760 one hundred and fifty aircraft were involved, going thousands of 0:05:35.839 --> 0:05:38.440 miles back and forth. And the more you learn, the 0:05:38.440 --> 0:05:40.640 more in awe you are of the capabilities of the 0:05:40.720 --> 0:05:44.840 United States military. Appropriately so well, Operation Narnia was the 0:05:46.400 --> 0:05:53.440 name of the Israeli mission, which included not only the 0:05:53.480 --> 0:05:59.320 bombings of the facilities, but the super targeted knocking off 0:05:59.480 --> 0:06:04.720 of the various nuclear scientists and military leaders practically simultaneously. 0:06:06.440 --> 0:06:11.960 Years in the planning. Just astounding sophistication, coordination, and daring. 0:06:12.360 --> 0:06:14.000 And I can't wait to tell you more about that 0:06:14.080 --> 0:06:15.880 a little bit later on the show, because it's it's 0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:20.200 it's just absolutely awe inspiring. But first, why don't we, 0:06:19.880 --> 0:06:22.520 uh we hate to run a foul of FCC rules 0:06:22.520 --> 0:06:25.240 and regulations right before vacation. I have to fill out 0:06:25.279 --> 0:06:27.640 paperwork qulli vacation. So here we go according to the 0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:31.200 FCC rules and REGs. Joke starts fishally at Mark, and. 0:06:31.080 --> 0:06:33.360 The President looks over at me, puts the foreign leader 0:06:33.400 --> 0:06:36.080 on mute and says this is not going very well, 0:06:36.120 --> 0:06:43.200 and he presses the red button and and my eyes 0:06:43.240 --> 0:06:45.880 get really big, and I'm like, mister President, you know 0:06:45.920 --> 0:06:48.960 what what just happened? And he's he looks at me 0:06:49.000 --> 0:06:52.160 and he goes nuclear nuclear. 0:06:54.440 --> 0:06:55.640 And two minutes later, a. 0:06:55.600 --> 0:06:57.400 Guy walks in with a diet coke and he looks 0:06:57.440 --> 0:06:59.360 back at me and he says it wasn't nuclear. 0:06:59.400 --> 0:07:01.800 It's just the diet cook button. And that's. 0:07:06.080 --> 0:07:08.800 So that's the kind of guy, my fellow Republicans, that 0:07:08.839 --> 0:07:11.000 we have as the President of the United States. 0:07:12.720 --> 0:07:15.920 JD. Vance talking about his early days working with Trump 0:07:15.920 --> 0:07:20.560 in the awful, the owful office, not the awful Opus 0:07:21.000 --> 0:07:23.360 was not a fraud instant. I'm sorry. I'm reading and 0:07:23.400 --> 0:07:26.760 talking at the same time. It's my worst habit. So anyway, 0:07:27.400 --> 0:07:29.360 glad you're here, Thanks so much for tuning in. We 0:07:29.400 --> 0:07:33.280 have an action pack show, including not only Katie's Headlines 0:07:33.440 --> 0:07:36.280 next segment, but clips of the week as well. Stay 0:07:36.280 --> 0:07:42.640 with us, looking forward to talking to a military analyst, 0:07:42.720 --> 0:07:47.400 Mike Lyons next segment about a variety of topics, including 0:07:48.640 --> 0:07:55.640 Operation Narnia, the incredibly sophisticated Israeli plan to knock around's 0:07:55.760 --> 0:07:59.280 nuclear weapons program offline for a little while or a 0:07:59.360 --> 0:08:02.560 very long while. I'll find that out together, I suppose, 0:08:02.680 --> 0:08:05.240 among other things, to talk to Mike about. Katie's got 0:08:05.280 --> 0:08:08.480 our headlines in just moments. But first, it's the Friday tradition. 0:08:08.600 --> 0:08:10.160 Let's take a fun look back at the week that was. 0:08:10.200 --> 0:08:12.360 It's cal Clips of the Week where we sold a 0:08:12.400 --> 0:08:13.440 forty year bill of good. 0:08:13.600 --> 0:08:15.800 I think that's a bunch of the biggest load that 0:08:15.840 --> 0:08:16.640 we've seen. 0:08:18.600 --> 0:08:21.880 The whips of the week. It just wasn't in the 0:08:21.920 --> 0:08:23.920 mood to hear P and T for some reason. Well, 0:08:24.120 --> 0:08:29.360 you need to wake the hell up and see the penis. 0:08:32.400 --> 0:08:36.400 That's what makes America great, right, what happened in the 0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:39.959 keys honey?

And I can't remember the 0:11:37.679 --> 0:11:40.600 author's name. I'm sure you can google it easily enough, 0:11:40.640 --> 0:11:46.120 but I'm sure they paced back and forth in their 0:11:46.160 --> 0:11:49.559 seventy million dollar mansion saying, mandad they screw up my book. 0:11:49.600 --> 0:11:51.520 It was a really good book.

So Hanson, Mike Canson exact, a producer, actually 0:12:01.120 --> 0:12:06.160 put two cows together, two beeves, as Jack would remind 0:12:06.240 --> 0:12:09.079 us if you were here, the cow we just heard, 0:12:09.160 --> 0:12:14.719 plus a midnight Hammer clips of the week completely separately, 0:12:15.000 --> 0:12:19.440 which will squeeze in when we can today if we 0:12:19.480 --> 0:12:20.880 get to it. I don't know. It's an action packed 0:12:20.880 --> 0:12:23.000 show right now. Let's figure out who's reporting what. It's 0:12:23.000 --> 0:12:24.400 the weak story with Katie Green. 0:12:24.520 --> 0:12:28.440 Katie did it starting with NBC White House to limit 0:12:28.520 --> 0:12:33.680 intelligence sharing with Congress after leak of early Iran report. 0:12:35.360 --> 0:12:37.760 Well, that certainly suggests that they think it was a 0:12:37.800 --> 0:12:42.960 congressional source. M see an end. 0:12:43.400 --> 0:12:47.920 Iran's defense minister thanks China for support on first foreign 0:12:47.960 --> 0:12:49.880 trip since Israel conflict. 0:12:50.400 --> 0:12:54.320 Oh, how desperate are they to find a friend summer anywhere? 0:12:54.640 --> 0:12:57.480 For anything? They'll take it. Oh, speaking of that that 0:12:57.880 --> 0:13:03.680 stupid super preliminary report leak thing, the Washington Post, which 0:13:03.720 --> 0:13:09.520 is just shameless, referred to that leaked report with seriousness 0:13:09.559 --> 0:13:13.680 even today, as if it's They were talking about the 0:13:13.800 --> 0:13:17.439 briefing that the senators got, and how the Democrats came 0:13:17.440 --> 0:13:20.040 out with a completely different story than the Republicans walking 0:13:20.040 --> 0:13:22.400 out of the briefing as if they'd heard different briefings. 0:13:22.840 --> 0:13:26.680 And the Washington Post, with furrowed brow observes that what 0:13:26.760 --> 0:13:31.680 the Republicans claimed was in real contrast to that leaked report, 0:13:32.400 --> 0:13:35.040 which was discredited like an hour after it came out. 0:13:35.520 --> 0:13:40.520 But the WAPO is still leaning on it. Seriously, you people, please. 0:13:41.600 --> 0:13:45.800 From the Wall Street Journal, US futures rise, dollar recovers 0:13:45.880 --> 0:13:51.120 slightly on trade optimism, as Commerce Secretary Lutnick said US 0:13:51.120 --> 0:13:53.880 has reached a trade agreement with China. 0:13:55.040 --> 0:13:56.920 Yeah, China just said, all right, we'll free up the 0:13:57.400 --> 0:13:59.600 rarer stuff, your magnets and the rest of it. Here 0:13:59.600 --> 0:14:02.240 it comes, we're gonna start shipping, so we'll see the 0:14:02.280 --> 0:14:07.880 world's weirdest frenemy relationship chugs on toward what nobody knows. 0:14:09.000 --> 0:14:14.240 From Breitbart dot Com, Republicans subpoena Jill Biden's quote work 0:14:14.400 --> 0:14:19.080 husband for alleged cover up of Joe Biden's cognitive decline. 0:14:19.920 --> 0:14:23.880 That'd be fun and interesting. I still maintain this will 0:14:23.880 --> 0:14:28.320 go nowhere. You're in the business of proving a negative 0:14:28.880 --> 0:14:32.880 that Biden was not cognizant enough to be president and 0:14:32.880 --> 0:14:35.760 and wasn't actively running the show and the rest. And 0:14:35.840 --> 0:14:38.000 then even if you were able to prove that, you 0:14:38.080 --> 0:14:39.720 never will. Now what do you do. You're going to 0:14:39.760 --> 0:14:42.880 impeach the guy. It's got one foot and four toes 0:14:42.920 --> 0:14:46.080 in the grave, flat batt capt care And I know 0:14:46.240 --> 0:14:50.000 scandal's horrible, unbelievable. Historians ought to, you know, kick the 0:14:50.040 --> 0:14:52.240 hell out of the Biden administration for that. But these 0:14:52.280 --> 0:14:53.920 hearings are just kind of show for show. 0:14:53.960 --> 0:14:58.680 I think from the shameless Washington Post, get doj enters 0:14:58.800 --> 0:15:04.120 atf with me to slash gun regulations, get some shame. 0:15:05.960 --> 0:15:08.400 So yeah, dojire going in with ATF They're gonna cut 0:15:08.480 --> 0:15:10.920 upwards of fifty gun regulations. 0:15:11.600 --> 0:15:15.160 Yeah, it might get easier to buy a suppressor often 0:15:15.200 --> 0:15:18.400 referred to as a silencer, although it doesn't silence or 0:15:18.480 --> 0:15:26.840 a short barreled shotgun. I've got to admit I'm somewhat intrigued. Yeah, 0:15:26.960 --> 0:15:29.440 the idea of people running around with soft off shotguns 0:15:29.680 --> 0:15:30.200 in effect. 0:15:31.000 --> 0:15:37.360 Did boy from Fox News Planned parent hurt hmm, Planned 0:15:37.400 --> 0:15:43.400 Parenthood encourages men to get cervical cancer screening for men's 0:15:43.480 --> 0:15:44.280 health months. 0:15:44.680 --> 0:15:47.720 Well, see that that won't be necessary because men don't 0:15:47.800 --> 0:15:49.560 have cervixes, you see. 0:15:49.960 --> 0:15:53.240 Ah, that must be why men is in quotes for 0:15:53.320 --> 0:15:56.440 this headline, because it's a woman who's pretending to be 0:15:56.480 --> 0:15:56.800 a man. 0:15:57.480 --> 0:16:02.760 Oh oh, that's weird because women do have cervixes right 0:16:03.480 --> 0:16:07.240 pretty much always, and men never ever have them. So 0:16:07.280 --> 0:16:11.200 it's weird that they would recommend that. Precisely from the 0:16:11.240 --> 0:16:15.720 Creed twisting yourselves into Nazia lunatics, radical gender theory is 0:16:15.760 --> 0:16:17.400 on its way out. It's crazy. 0:16:18.440 --> 0:16:23.200 From the Daily Mail Crisis warning as flesh eating insects 0:16:23.240 --> 0:16:27.320 are found invading the United States through the Mexican. 0:16:26.920 --> 0:16:31.600 Migrant route, oh oh, you gotta stop it, deport them? 0:16:31.640 --> 0:16:33.920 Hey did we never got to the story? Was it yesterday? 0:16:33.960 --> 0:16:38.640 We had the audio about some of the killer bees. Yeah, 0:16:38.760 --> 0:16:42.040 horrendous killer bees of a different sort. I guess are 0:16:42.200 --> 0:16:44.400 now moving into the US. Do you have that story here? 0:16:44.720 --> 0:16:47.400 Failure later? I do, I'll grab it. It was in 0:16:47.440 --> 0:16:51.720 hotlinks yesterday. Obvious solution. We need to form an alliance 0:16:51.720 --> 0:16:52.800 with the Murder Hornets. 0:16:54.280 --> 0:17:00.680 And finally, the Babylon Bee reports from CNN Hiroshima barely 0:17:00.760 --> 0:17:02.240 set back by atomic bomb. 0:17:02.600 --> 0:17:10.240 Oh geminy, that's that's dark, but a really good joke. Yeah, yeah, 0:17:10.440 --> 0:17:11.520 those are my favorite kinds. 0:17:12.000 --> 0:17:12.080 That. 0:17:12.640 --> 0:17:16.000 Yeah, yes, that is dark. The fabulous Mike Lions to 0:17:16.040 --> 0:17:20.120 talk matters Military on the Way Stay with us. If 0:17:20.160 --> 0:17:23.080 you can't grab the podcast, subscribe to Armstrong and Geddy 0:17:23.200 --> 0:17:25.879 on demand. Armstrong and Getty. 0:17:27.119 --> 0:17:29.359 The Supreme Leader has taken to the airways for the 0:17:29.400 --> 0:17:32.560 first time since the fighting ended, and he also praised 0:17:32.600 --> 0:17:35.520 Iran's military for what he calls a big victory. 0:17:39.840 --> 0:17:43.960 I would like to congratulate the Great Nation of Iran BYO. 0:17:45.400 --> 0:17:49.280 With all those claims that the Zionis regime were making s, 0:17:50.160 --> 0:17:53.720 they were almost crushed under the blows of the Islamic government. 0:17:53.880 --> 0:17:56.400 At the same time, the Supreme Leader also lashing out 0:17:56.400 --> 0:17:59.760 at the United States and specifically President Trump, saying that 0:18:00.080 --> 0:18:03.600 is it and Trump had called for Iran's unconditional surrender 0:18:03.800 --> 0:18:06.000 and that that simply isn't going to happen. 0:18:06.680 --> 0:18:10.480 Boy, everybody remember bag Dad Bob from the Iraq War, 0:18:10.720 --> 0:18:15.879 the Ayahtola, the great leaders. They're claiming victory. How lovely 0:18:15.960 --> 0:18:19.360 for him. We're joined by a military analyst, Mike Lyons, 0:18:19.680 --> 0:18:24.000 to discuss a handful of topics. Mike, how are you, sir, Hey, 0:18:24.040 --> 0:18:24.480 good morning. 0:18:24.520 --> 0:18:26.600 I thought the same thing bag Dad Bob. The level 0:18:26.640 --> 0:18:30.240 of propaganda coming out of Iran right now, I guess 0:18:30.320 --> 0:18:33.080 has to be what it is, as they're now probably 0:18:33.119 --> 0:18:35.560 fighting to make sure other information is not getting into 0:18:35.560 --> 0:18:37.639 the country. But that's exactly right. We've got a repeater 0:18:37.800 --> 0:18:39.840 history from about twenty years ago. 0:18:40.200 --> 0:18:41.720 Right you read in my mind, I was just going 0:18:41.800 --> 0:18:44.119 to say, I can't even imagine what the conversations behind 0:18:44.160 --> 0:18:46.280 the scenes are like there in the halls of power 0:18:46.280 --> 0:18:51.040 in Tehran. It's got to be a combination of you know, frantic, terror, 0:18:51.080 --> 0:18:52.800 stricken and angry. 0:18:54.520 --> 0:18:57.280 Yeah, and think about the levels of leadership that have 0:18:57.320 --> 0:19:01.240 been taken out already by the Israelis. Who's giving him 0:19:01.280 --> 0:19:03.679 advice if anything? At the eighty six years old, I 0:19:03.680 --> 0:19:06.800 mean very much isolated. But we don't know or hasn't 0:19:06.840 --> 0:19:10.040 been revealed, who's really, you know, kind of running that country. 0:19:10.720 --> 0:19:12.399 We would have thought but of in the head of 0:19:12.440 --> 0:19:15.320 some of the Republican Guard organizations, but they've been all 0:19:15.400 --> 0:19:19.480 killed off. So I'm we're still watching to see specifically 0:19:20.280 --> 0:19:22.720 what's going to evolve from this. And I know they're 0:19:22.760 --> 0:19:25.200 focusing on the military and the equipment and things, because 0:19:25.200 --> 0:19:27.159 if there's a revolution that that's going to cause a 0:19:27.160 --> 0:19:29.920 lot of problems. But there's so many unknowns right now 0:19:29.960 --> 0:19:32.280 going on. I think it's the beginning of this. If 0:19:32.520 --> 0:19:35.240 there's going to be a revolution there, we're at the 0:19:35.280 --> 0:19:36.280 very beginning stage of that. 0:19:36.840 --> 0:19:40.040 Yeah, the Israelis evidently had some idea of who might 0:19:40.119 --> 0:19:43.240 be in charge, because they had a very carefully targeted list. 0:19:43.280 --> 0:19:46.879 And I was just reading Dove liber has written a 0:19:46.920 --> 0:19:51.680 fantastic account in the Wall Street Journal today about Operation Narnia, 0:19:52.920 --> 0:19:56.679 which within it had Operation red Wetting. Anybody familiar with 0:19:56.720 --> 0:19:59.800 Game of Thrones knows what that refers to, and it 0:19:59.840 --> 0:20:05.400 is the choice of paint and the sophistication mike of 0:20:06.000 --> 0:20:10.679 that mission, those missions within a greater umbrella mission is 0:20:10.800 --> 0:20:15.760 almost mind boggling. How they simultaneously and in a very 0:20:15.800 --> 0:20:18.719 targetive way, took out a handful of very very important 0:20:18.720 --> 0:20:23.719 military leaders, very very important nuclear scientists, while right they 0:20:23.760 --> 0:20:26.600 were bombing the hell out of various critical facilities. It 0:20:26.720 --> 0:20:28.320 boggles the mind. 0:20:29.440 --> 0:20:32.280 And it's because they had planned for this eventually. You know, 0:20:32.560 --> 0:20:34.840 I still believe this was always coming. At some point, 0:20:35.000 --> 0:20:39.359 Israel was going after the Iranian nuclear threat, whether or 0:20:39.400 --> 0:20:42.040 not the Housis and has Balah and all those proxy 0:20:42.119 --> 0:20:45.080 organizations were at full strength or not. So this is 0:20:45.600 --> 0:20:48.280 in the minne of the works for a very long time. 0:20:48.560 --> 0:20:52.199 They're just more creative they you know, they just are. 0:20:52.440 --> 0:20:55.320 They Decapitation has always been part of their strategy. You 0:20:55.359 --> 0:20:58.600 go back to their DNA, go back to wars in 0:20:58.640 --> 0:21:01.720 sixty seven seventy three. They clearly go after the leaders 0:21:01.720 --> 0:21:03.280 and they believe that that's the way that they have 0:21:03.320 --> 0:21:05.240 to win these wars from a country that was what 0:21:05.400 --> 0:21:08.240 nine million people versus a country that's got ninety million people. 0:21:08.240 --> 0:21:10.000 That's part of the issue. This is the only way 0:21:10.000 --> 0:21:10.600 that they could do that. 0:21:12.000 --> 0:21:15.199 It really is quite amazing. And meanwhile, as we've discussed, 0:21:15.200 --> 0:21:19.800 our military performed very, very admirably as well. The missions 0:21:20.280 --> 0:21:22.679 that have been pretty well described at this point just 0:21:22.880 --> 0:21:26.399 absolutely terrific. What did you make of the and I 0:21:26.440 --> 0:21:29.760 shouldn't prejudice this by using the word idiotic, but what 0:21:29.800 --> 0:21:32.600 do you make of the idiotic go around with CNN 0:21:32.680 --> 0:21:37.280 and elked report and various people leaping on that was 0:21:37.320 --> 0:21:38.600 it yesterday in the day before? 0:21:39.680 --> 0:21:42.639 Yeah, no, I know. I when I had been on CNN, 0:21:42.680 --> 0:21:45.040 I had said that it was likely that it was 0:21:45.240 --> 0:21:48.400 very much destroyed. I mean, we're caveling over months and 0:21:48.760 --> 0:21:50.399 you know how long it's been put back. We just 0:21:50.400 --> 0:21:53.600 don't know until you get the battle damage assessment. I 0:21:53.640 --> 0:21:56.639 think that CNN unfortunately got out a little bit in 0:21:56.720 --> 0:22:00.280 front of themselves as well, and then now they're trying 0:22:00.280 --> 0:22:02.240 to dig out of it unfortunately in a lot of ways. 0:22:02.240 --> 0:22:06.920 But let's the fact that it was Leakes is not good. 0:22:07.080 --> 0:22:09.960 Still shows that there are enemies of this administration inside. 0:22:10.000 --> 0:22:14.440 You've been inside the wire basically, and someone Let's hope 0:22:14.440 --> 0:22:17.960 that they could figure out who that person is. But again, 0:22:18.400 --> 0:22:21.879 a preliminary report two and a half days after the bombing, 0:22:22.000 --> 0:22:24.800 saying it's only been set back two months or it 0:22:24.920 --> 0:22:26.800 just doesn't make any sense from the beginning. And that 0:22:26.920 --> 0:22:30.040 should have been what CNN concluded when they got that. 0:22:30.119 --> 0:22:32.600 They should have said, this is just too crazy and 0:22:32.640 --> 0:22:33.919 it's just not something they should go with. 0:22:34.040 --> 0:22:38.399 But unfortunately they were far from alone too. I mean, 0:22:38.440 --> 0:22:41.000 the Washington Post even this morning is taking that report 0:22:41.160 --> 0:22:45.440 seriously in the midst of a report which is just insane. 0:22:45.720 --> 0:22:49.359 But because I mean, from your perspective as somebody who's 0:22:49.359 --> 0:22:55.280 actually been involved in at least somewhat similar missions, right, 0:22:55.400 --> 0:22:59.320 you don't expect to have immediate feedback, especially something that 0:22:59.320 --> 0:23:02.160 happened on hundred of feet underground. I mean, it's going 0:23:02.200 --> 0:23:04.600 to take a long time to figure out what is 0:23:04.640 --> 0:23:06.199 what at this point. 0:23:06.440 --> 0:23:10.560 Yeah, exactly, And until someone actually goes there and figures 0:23:10.600 --> 0:23:14.760 out what, you know, brings equipment, you know, not shovels, 0:23:14.760 --> 0:23:16.840 as the second sary of event said, but seismic grafts. 0:23:16.840 --> 0:23:18.560 They're gonna have to figure out what's going on underneath 0:23:18.600 --> 0:23:21.520 and try to create images of what the situation looks like. 0:23:21.600 --> 0:23:25.400 And it's an enemy territory, so it's still literally months 0:23:25.800 --> 0:23:29.720 I think, no question. We can speculate that if those 0:23:29.800 --> 0:23:32.320 bombs made it down, and they were designed, like we 0:23:32.320 --> 0:23:34.480 talked about, that bomb was designed to do that one 0:23:34.480 --> 0:23:37.520 mission fifteen years ago. Again, I just love the creativity 0:23:37.600 --> 0:23:39.880 we have now on our side that I'm sure we've 0:23:39.880 --> 0:23:42.119 got other things in the inventory that are specific to 0:23:42.560 --> 0:23:45.679 targets that are out there, But that's exactly right. We 0:23:45.720 --> 0:23:48.159 won't know until we're out there seeing it, looking on 0:23:48.200 --> 0:23:50.920 the ground, looking for seismic equipment to find out specifically 0:23:50.960 --> 0:23:52.400 what's going on underneath the earth. 0:23:52.960 --> 0:23:55.960 We're talking to military analyst Mike Lyons, and Mike, we're 0:23:55.960 --> 0:23:58.159 taken next week off, so I wanted to wish you 0:23:58.280 --> 0:24:02.640 a happy Independence Day and just chat a little bit 0:24:02.800 --> 0:24:05.560 about And you can take this any direction you want. 0:24:05.840 --> 0:24:10.879 It's pract practically a cliche, but well worth discussing always 0:24:11.960 --> 0:24:14.639 how those who've served and fought and died for this 0:24:14.720 --> 0:24:19.520 country have ensured our freedom. And I'm ambivalent about Trump. 0:24:19.840 --> 0:24:22.440 I have some serious complaints about about him. I think 0:24:22.440 --> 0:24:25.359 there are some wonderful things going on, but it is 0:24:25.480 --> 0:24:30.800 absolutely undeniable that the spirit of not only the military, 0:24:30.840 --> 0:24:33.720 but the families that are so critical in supporting our 0:24:33.720 --> 0:24:36.760 military folks, their spirits are lifted. 0:24:38.320 --> 0:24:42.320 Yeah, no question. What he's done, from my perspective as 0:24:42.359 --> 0:24:45.040 someone whose son serves in the military, is that he's 0:24:45.119 --> 0:24:48.360
