WEBVTT - You're Deranged 0:00:00.960 --> 0:00:05.720 Nice broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the 0:00:05.800 --> 0:00:09.959 George Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. 0:00:10.240 --> 0:00:23.919 Armstrong and Jetty and he Armstrong and Getty. This is 0:00:23.960 --> 0:00:26.200 what a leaker is telling you. The intelligence says, that's 0:00:26.239 --> 0:00:27.360 the game these people play. 0:00:27.480 --> 0:00:30.360 We dropped twelve of the strongest bombs on the planet 0:00:30.440 --> 0:00:33.519 right down the hole in two places. Everything underneath that 0:00:33.560 --> 0:00:34.839 mountain is in bad shape. 0:00:34.880 --> 0:00:36.080 Now, anything in the world can. 0:00:36.000 --> 0:00:38.600 Be rebuilt, but now we know where it is, and 0:00:38.640 --> 0:00:40.479 if they try to rebuild it, we'll have options there 0:00:40.520 --> 0:00:44.440 as well. But all this leaker stuff, these leakers are professional. 0:00:44.080 --> 0:00:46.200 Stabbers, professional stabbers. 0:00:46.200 --> 0:00:50.239 That's the Secretary of State and the National Security Advisor, 0:00:51.720 --> 0:00:57.160 Marco Rubio. So, as I mentioned earlier in the show, yesterday, 0:00:57.160 --> 0:01:00.000 I got two dings on my phone from different news outlets. 0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:01.880 I think one was New York Times and one was 0:01:01.920 --> 0:01:04.200 I don't know what it was, Wall Street General maybe. 0:01:03.960 --> 0:01:04.880 But I got back to back. 0:01:04.959 --> 0:01:10.960 I got an alert early assessments show Iranian's nuclear programs 0:01:11.000 --> 0:01:14.280 set back years. And then while I was reading that, 0:01:14.400 --> 0:01:21.040 I got a ding assessment shows nuclear program barely damaged, 0:01:21.080 --> 0:01:23.520 could be reconstituted in a month, and I thought, Okay, 0:01:24.360 --> 0:01:26.920 what am I supposed to do with this information? So 0:01:26.959 --> 0:01:30.240 then I was taking in my cable shows last night 0:01:30.280 --> 0:01:36.520 and network news shows. I was sensing glee and excitement 0:01:37.160 --> 0:01:40.320 from the news hosts as they talked about only the 0:01:40.360 --> 0:01:44.440 intel that showed that the nuclear program was not very 0:01:44.440 --> 0:01:46.840 badly damaged, and I was thinking, why would you be 0:01:46.920 --> 0:01:49.320 happy about this? Or I actually wondered, like, am I 0:01:49.360 --> 0:01:51.960 reading too much into this? Maybe I've got Trump derangement 0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:54.040 syndrome at this point where I think everybody's out to 0:01:54.080 --> 0:01:57.279 get me. But no, I'm watching Morning Joe this morning, 0:01:57.640 --> 0:02:02.640 and Joe Scarborough actually said on MSNBC, he said, I 0:02:02.680 --> 0:02:04.200 know a lot of people on this network and others 0:02:04.240 --> 0:02:07.080 are doing touchdown dances around this intel report that the 0:02:07.160 --> 0:02:09.320 nuclear reactor was not badly damaged. 0:02:09.560 --> 0:02:14.080 And I thought, what, so I'm not crazy. 0:02:14.360 --> 0:02:20.720 I actually was accurately perceiving glee touchdown dances. You're happy 0:02:21.720 --> 0:02:25.440 that maybe we didn't destroy their nuclear program? What in 0:02:25.600 --> 0:02:28.160 the hell is wrong with you? 0:02:27.720 --> 0:02:30.600 You dislike Trump so much it makes you. 0:02:30.520 --> 0:02:33.959 Feel good that one of the worst regimes on earth 0:02:35.320 --> 0:02:36.080 might get a nuke. 0:02:36.639 --> 0:02:39.040 That's a win for them. Yes, in their heads, you're 0:02:39.200 --> 0:02:42.320 noisy heads. Yeah, it's a defeat for Trump, so it's 0:02:42.320 --> 0:02:42.880 a win for me. 0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:43.440 Period. 0:02:44.360 --> 0:02:47.320 Insane Islamists are close to getting a nuclear bomb, that's 0:02:47.320 --> 0:02:48.160 a win for you. 0:02:48.680 --> 0:02:52.200 Yes, I liked your example of That'd be me being 0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:55.919 happy if Seal Team six had not gotten Bin Laden, Yes, 0:02:56.080 --> 0:02:58.040 or in the field in. 0:02:57.960 --> 0:03:00.480 The early days before it was clear what had happened. Man, 0:03:00.480 --> 0:03:02.600 I hope they missed him. I hope they missed him. 0:03:02.600 --> 0:03:04.079 So Obama will have failed. 0:03:05.120 --> 0:03:05.960 That's sick. 0:03:06.120 --> 0:03:08.520 There's something wrong with you if you look at politics 0:03:08.520 --> 0:03:08.880 that way. 0:03:09.560 --> 0:03:12.559 Seriously, you're deranged. 0:03:12.040 --> 0:03:17.640 And national security I mean your very existence, you've passed 0:03:17.680 --> 0:03:18.400 through that filter. 0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:20.160 Yeah, you're deranged. That's correct. 0:03:20.680 --> 0:03:24.119 And then I heard David Ignatius of the Washington Post 0:03:24.200 --> 0:03:29.200 say critics of Trump should think this through because if 0:03:29.240 --> 0:03:32.920 we didn't actually wipe out their nuclear program, we're gonna 0:03:32.960 --> 0:03:37.440 have to bomb more and get more militarily involved. Again, 0:03:38.200 --> 0:03:41.800 with the premise that you're excited that they might still 0:03:41.880 --> 0:03:44.440 have the program, I just I don't even know what 0:03:44.480 --> 0:03:46.440 to do with that information. I thought I was as 0:03:46.440 --> 0:03:50.880 cynical as you could get. Apparently I'm not. It's amazing, 0:03:51.160 --> 0:03:54.600 it is amazing, and it's disgusting, and that was kind 0:03:54.600 --> 0:03:59.800 of some of the flavor of the questioning in it 0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:02.720 during the press conference that was going on at NATO, 0:04:03.760 --> 0:04:08.160 just like in the last hour, and we've got Pete Hegseett, 0:04:08.200 --> 0:04:10.200 the Secretary of Defense, wanted to jump in there and 0:04:10.280 --> 0:04:12.880 answer some of the questions and also Trump, let's hear's 0:04:12.880 --> 0:04:14.720 from sect def Pete. 0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:17.920 The instinct of CNN, the instinct of The New York 0:04:17.960 --> 0:04:21.440 Times is to try to find a way to spin 0:04:21.520 --> 0:04:24.680 it for their own political reasons, to try to hurt 0:04:24.960 --> 0:04:27.560 President Trump or our country. They don't care what the 0:04:27.600 --> 0:04:30.279 troops think, they don't care what the world thinks. They 0:04:30.320 --> 0:04:32.440 want to spin it to try to make him look 0:04:32.480 --> 0:04:33.640 bad based on a leak. 0:04:33.800 --> 0:04:34.640 Of course, we've all. 0:04:34.480 --> 0:04:36.720 Seen plenty of leakers, and what a leakers? Do they 0:04:36.720 --> 0:04:38.880 have agendas and what do they do? Do they share 0:04:38.920 --> 0:04:42.280 the whole information or just the part that they want 0:04:42.320 --> 0:04:42.960 to introduce. 0:04:43.480 --> 0:04:45.880 Obviously, by definition, you do have an agenda when you 0:04:46.000 --> 0:04:50.960 leak something. By definition, Worth pointing out that all the assessments, 0:04:51.040 --> 0:04:54.160 the ones that are more positive, and I don't think 0:04:54.160 --> 0:04:56.280 it's prejudicial to call it positive if you don't think 0:04:56.320 --> 0:05:00.839 it's a positive thing. That the nuclear grim is destroyed, 0:05:00.880 --> 0:05:04.000 You're crazy. So anyway, even the more positive ones and 0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:07.159 the negative ones all say their confidence is very, very low. 0:05:07.320 --> 0:05:09.920 How could it be anything else. They don't have people there. 0:05:10.800 --> 0:05:14.680 Yeah, anybody who says that they need to be in GETMO, 0:05:15.760 --> 0:05:16.479 we'll give them a trial. 0:05:16.520 --> 0:05:16.880 Eventually. 0:05:16.920 --> 0:05:19.200 I read the constitution once. I think they've got one coming. 0:05:19.760 --> 0:05:23.479 But yeah, yeah, ship those idiots to get MO. Second, 0:05:23.480 --> 0:05:25.040 def was worked up about this. 0:05:26.000 --> 0:05:30.799 And when they introduced that preliminary a preliminary report that's 0:05:30.920 --> 0:05:34.240 deemed to be a low assessment. You know what a 0:05:34.240 --> 0:05:36.920 low assessment means, low confidence. 0:05:36.960 --> 0:05:38.200 In the data in that report. 0:05:38.200 --> 0:05:40.640 And why is there low confidence Because all of the 0:05:40.680 --> 0:05:44.880 evidence of what was just bombed by twelve thirty thousand 0:05:44.960 --> 0:05:49.520 pound bombs is buried under a mountain, devastated and obliterated. 0:05:49.800 --> 0:05:51.760 So if you want to make an assessment of what 0:05:51.880 --> 0:05:54.400 happened at four Doah, you better get a big shovel 0:05:55.000 --> 0:05:59.440 and go really deep, because Iran's nuclear program is obliterated, 0:05:59.520 --> 0:06:03.560 and somebody somewhere is trying to leak something to say, oh, 0:06:03.720 --> 0:06:07.240 with low confidence, we think maybe it's moderate. Those that 0:06:07.320 --> 0:06:11.520 drop the bombs precisely in the right place, know exactly 0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:14.360 what happened when that exploded, and you know who else 0:06:14.440 --> 0:06:15.200 knows Iran? 0:06:16.400 --> 0:06:20.120 And I think that goes to the ancient wisdom that 0:06:20.200 --> 0:06:23.320 you never ever ever underestimate your enemy and its capabilities. 0:06:23.360 --> 0:06:27.240 So the Defense Intelligence Agency and all they're saying, all right, 0:06:27.279 --> 0:06:33.560 here's here's what we're We know there's at least minor 0:06:33.760 --> 0:06:38.880 damage that is certain, but is that all the damage? 0:06:39.120 --> 0:06:42.080 We have very low confidence in telling you that. So 0:06:42.120 --> 0:06:46.640 it's a preliminary assessment of at the very very least 0:06:46.760 --> 0:06:47.839 we dot dot. 0:06:48.520 --> 0:06:52.800 Now, Israel's Atomic Energy Commission said the US strikes on 0:06:52.839 --> 0:06:59.080 Iran destroyed in quotes, critical infrastructure at Ford Ou nuclear site. 0:07:00.480 --> 0:07:04.360 The Israelis don't have any reason to spin this that direction, 0:07:05.560 --> 0:07:07.560 wouldn't They have every reason to say, oh, you didn't 0:07:07.600 --> 0:07:10.040 get it, We need to go harder and further. 0:07:10.600 --> 0:07:16.120 Oh yeah, they are invested heavily existentially and precisely what 0:07:16.160 --> 0:07:20.320 I was saying earlier. They have every interest in being very, 0:07:20.640 --> 0:07:24.440 very conservative in their estimates of how successful our omissions 0:07:24.480 --> 0:07:24.760 have been. 0:07:26.800 --> 0:07:29.280 Now, I was watching a former senator on News Nation 0:07:29.440 --> 0:07:31.240 this morning who was on the Intel Committee back in 0:07:31.240 --> 0:07:34.280 the day, saying that was always our concern is would 0:07:34.360 --> 0:07:36.840 these bombs actually get down there and destroyed or not, 0:07:36.880 --> 0:07:38.840 And we never knew. 0:07:38.840 --> 0:07:41.080 But the fact that we dropped so many in the 0:07:41.160 --> 0:07:44.040 same spot, yeah, it'd. 0:07:43.840 --> 0:07:46.000 Be hard to imagine that it didn't do its job. 0:07:46.040 --> 0:07:48.040 But anyway, here's Trump being asked more about that. 0:07:48.480 --> 0:07:52.880 And you know, you should be proud, you especially, you 0:07:52.880 --> 0:07:55.680 should be proud of those pilots. And you shouldn't be 0:07:55.760 --> 0:07:59.920 trying to demean them. Those pilots flew at great risk, 0:08:00.240 --> 0:08:02.520 a big chance that they've never come back home and 0:08:02.560 --> 0:08:04.040 see their husbands of their wives. 0:08:04.440 --> 0:08:05.480 Let me just tell you. 0:08:05.480 --> 0:08:08.440 You and NBC Fake News, which is one of the worst, 0:08:08.880 --> 0:08:12.080 and CNN New York Times, they're all bad. 0:08:12.120 --> 0:08:13.760 They're sick. There's something wrong with them. 0:08:14.080 --> 0:08:16.600 You know what, you should be praising those people instead 0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:19.119 of trying to find something by getting me, by trying 0:08:19.160 --> 0:08:21.440 to go and get me, you're hurting those people. 0:08:21.480 --> 0:08:22.520 They were devastated. 0:08:23.440 --> 0:08:29.280 Yeah, I I don't know that the whole I mean, 0:08:29.320 --> 0:08:32.800 I'm I'm I'm glad I live in a country where 0:08:32.840 --> 0:08:37.440 our military prowesses beyond everybody else's. 0:08:37.480 --> 0:08:38.760 That's good for me and everybody. 0:08:38.840 --> 0:08:43.160 And I brother and dad who served, and blah blah blah, 0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:44.480 I'm proud of all that sort of stuff, and good. 0:08:44.480 --> 0:08:47.960 That's sort but that's not really the question here, right, 0:08:48.520 --> 0:08:48.880 Did we. 0:08:48.880 --> 0:08:52.880 Just aggressive you know, aggressive questioning by the press, even 0:08:52.880 --> 0:08:55.080 if they're completely unfair and liberal and the rest of it. 0:08:55.080 --> 0:08:58.199 It's fine, it's the hallmark of our system. But he's 0:08:58.240 --> 0:09:02.440 got to admit it's weird to be excited about it. Obviously, well, 0:09:02.720 --> 0:09:05.959 and I am thrilled that we have a president who engages. 0:09:06.080 --> 0:09:08.080 I might not like his answer to that question, but 0:09:08.440 --> 0:09:10.040 there he is answering questions. 0:09:10.080 --> 0:09:14.200 Imagine that after the last guy. You know, the two questions. 0:09:14.240 --> 0:09:16.760 As Wall Street Journal writes today, here's the two questions 0:09:16.840 --> 0:09:20.840 Trump should ask today today, and we'd find out where 0:09:20.840 --> 0:09:25.400 we are. Hey, Iran, you gonna let the IAEA inspectors 0:09:25.440 --> 0:09:30.480 in there like this afternoon. They land a helicopter near Foord, 0:09:30.520 --> 0:09:32.520 Oh and go in and inspect it, yes or no? 0:09:32.640 --> 0:09:36.720 And if they say no, war is still on. They're 0:09:36.760 --> 0:09:38.240 not giving up their nuclear program. 0:09:38.320 --> 0:09:39.160 It's that simple. 0:09:39.280 --> 0:09:41.000 I don't know why we're not doing that. Is it 0:09:41.000 --> 0:09:42.280 because we're afraid of the answer. 0:09:43.320 --> 0:09:43.840 I don't know. 0:09:43.920 --> 0:09:47.760 Trump said something ridiculously conciliatory toward Iran that we want 0:09:47.800 --> 0:09:50.360 to play for you afterword from our friends that trust 0:09:50.440 --> 0:09:53.400 and will get security and peace of mind by making 0:09:53.440 --> 0:09:54.240 an estate plan. 0:09:54.400 --> 0:09:57.760 Now, trust me when I say if you leave. 0:09:57.679 --> 0:10:00.280 Your wishes and your plans and your assets to the 0:10:00.280 --> 0:10:04.960 probate system, you will be doing a terrible, terrible disservice 0:10:04.960 --> 0:10:05.920 to the people you love. 0:10:06.240 --> 0:10:10.040 Take care of this right now, so you could get 0:10:10.080 --> 0:10:15.160 started today.

More on the way. 0:11:37.040 --> 0:11:38.839 They've had a big fight, like two kids at the 0:11:38.880 --> 0:11:39.400 school yard. 0:11:39.520 --> 0:11:41.720 You know, they fight like hell. You can't stop them. 0:11:41.760 --> 0:11:44.040 Let him fight for about two or three minutes. Then 0:11:44.040 --> 0:11:45.160 as to stap them. 0:11:46.160 --> 0:11:50.240 Sometimes strong languages, like everyone said, all you have to 0:11:50.320 --> 0:11:51.160 use a certain word. 0:11:52.440 --> 0:11:55.360 Wow, So the the one higher up and NATO said, 0:11:55.559 --> 0:11:58.680 so daddy had to use strong language. Okay, thanks for 0:11:58.679 --> 0:12:02.400 stepping in. Here is a criticism of Trump, and I 0:12:02.559 --> 0:12:06.080 will stick by it until I am talked out of it. 0:12:07.160 --> 0:12:14.480 He does not understand radical Islam. He has not internalized 0:12:14.520 --> 0:12:19.360 the idea that people will fight, they will die, they 0:12:19.360 --> 0:12:23.160 will sacrifice human lives, they will sacrifice children, they will 0:12:23.160 --> 0:12:27.520 engage in never ending war, they will throw away their wealth, etc. 0:12:27.720 --> 0:12:27.920 Etc. 0:12:28.120 --> 0:12:28.280 Etc. 0:12:28.960 --> 0:12:32.600 Based on taking over the globe in the name of Allah. 0:12:32.920 --> 0:12:34.160 Trump doesn't get that. 0:12:34.280 --> 0:12:36.240 Yeah, it's interesting that you say that, because I think 0:12:36.240 --> 0:12:38.679 you're right. But then there's also a crowd like Ian Bremer, 0:12:39.320 --> 0:12:42.920 who that crowd who just seems to think everybody's going 0:12:42.960 --> 0:12:44.600 to do what's in their best interest all the time 0:12:45.160 --> 0:12:48.960 and wouldn't sacrifice millions of people are all their fortune 0:12:49.600 --> 0:12:54.319 to do crazy s right, like clearly Putin's doing, or 0:12:54.400 --> 0:12:56.640 China is going to do, or Iran is willing to do. 0:12:57.520 --> 0:12:57.760 Right. 0:12:58.000 --> 0:13:01.840 Everybody's a rational actor, you get down to it. No, 0:13:02.000 --> 0:13:05.400 not so, not so at all. And you know, I 0:13:05.400 --> 0:13:07.480 could give you a half a dozen great examples just 0:13:07.480 --> 0:13:10.520 from the last couple of centuries where people were out 0:13:10.520 --> 0:13:13.840 of their freaking minds. Anyway, So this really bothered me. 0:13:14.320 --> 0:13:17.319 I just read a quote from it. But let's let's play. 0:13:17.440 --> 0:13:20.840 This is a reporter talking to Trump about what happens 0:13:20.880 --> 0:13:21.720 now with Iran. 0:13:22.440 --> 0:13:23.840 Thank you so much, mister president. 0:13:23.920 --> 0:13:28.840 Yesterday you said China canal continue to purchase oil from Iran. 0:13:29.400 --> 0:13:33.120 Are you giving up on your maximum pressure campaign because 0:13:33.160 --> 0:13:36.320 there's sanctions right now with on Iran. No. 0:13:36.520 --> 0:13:40.000 Look, they just had a war. The war was fought. 0:13:40.040 --> 0:13:43.319 They fought it bravely. I'm not giving up. They're in 0:13:43.400 --> 0:13:45.760 the old business. I mean, I could stop it if 0:13:45.760 --> 0:13:48.439 I wanted. I could sell China the oil myself. I 0:13:48.440 --> 0:13:50.720 don't want to do that. They're going to need money 0:13:50.720 --> 0:13:52.920 to put that country back into shape. We want to 0:13:52.960 --> 0:13:56.599 see that happen. We didn't know if they're going to 0:13:56.679 --> 0:13:58.559 sell oil. They're going to sell oil. We're not taking 0:13:58.600 --> 0:14:00.440 over the oil. We could have you know, I used 0:14:00.480 --> 0:14:02.319 to say with Iraq, keep the oil. I could say 0:14:02.360 --> 0:14:05.280 it here too, We could have kept the oil. Now 0:14:05.559 --> 0:14:08.120 China is gonna want to buy oil, and they can 0:14:08.160 --> 0:14:09.360 buy it from us, they can. 0:14:09.200 --> 0:14:10.480 Buy it from other people. 0:14:11.000 --> 0:14:12.800 But you're going to have to put that country back 0:14:12.840 --> 0:14:15.320 into shape. It needs desperately needs money. 0:14:15.520 --> 0:14:18.280 Yeah. That's an interesting take. 0:14:19.440 --> 0:14:21.960 Yeah, so I'll give me the criticism and then I 0:14:22.000 --> 0:14:26.200 will argue with myself. Just briefly. The criticism is he 0:14:26.480 --> 0:14:32.000 thinks he can flatter cajole and say, hey, hey, hey, 0:14:32.120 --> 0:14:35.040 I'm really sympathetic. I'm sorry about all that ugliness. Let's 0:14:35.080 --> 0:14:40.240 work together, and that that will change the minds of 0:14:40.280 --> 0:14:41.520 the leadership in Iran. 0:14:41.640 --> 0:14:43.680 Yeah, we will help you be We want to help 0:14:43.720 --> 0:14:46.480 you be rich and prosperous, right right. 0:14:46.680 --> 0:14:52.640 He does not get that the upper echelons, the hardest 0:14:52.640 --> 0:14:55.760 core of the leadership in Iran don't care about any 0:14:55.800 --> 0:14:57.920 of that. I mean, they care inasmuch as it helps 0:14:57.920 --> 0:15:02.600 them achieve. Islamis them, but that's the only reason they 0:15:02.600 --> 0:15:05.120 care about the economy and the people not going crazy. 0:15:06.280 --> 0:15:10.600 The counter argument to my argument is Trump is appealing 0:15:10.680 --> 0:15:15.440 to moderate elements within Iran and sending the message we 0:15:15.560 --> 0:15:19.920 could be buddies fast if you get rid of the lunatic. 0:15:20.000 --> 0:15:22.160 There's also the possibility that they've got all kinds of 0:15:22.160 --> 0:15:26.960 communication with moderate elements inside Iran, that it's teetering more 0:15:26.960 --> 0:15:29.600 than we know, or they're really ready to do something 0:15:29.720 --> 0:15:31.280 or whatever that's possible. 0:15:31.760 --> 0:15:33.920 But anyway, my last comment is I still don't think 0:15:33.960 --> 0:15:38.880 Trump gets fundamentalist Islam, but I wonder what he's actually 0:15:38.920 --> 0:15:41.520 pushing at with that statement. Here's to be interesting to 0:15:41.560 --> 0:15:42.520 see it to play out. 0:15:42.600 --> 0:15:45.240 Here's something Trump does get, and this NATO summat was 0:15:45.280 --> 0:15:52.360 supposed to be for Trump anyway, a celebration of forcing, convincing, 0:15:52.800 --> 0:15:55.600 use whatever word you want the other NATO countries to 0:15:55.960 --> 0:15:59.120 finally pay the amount that they're supposed to pay as 0:15:59.160 --> 0:16:03.760 a percentage of their for supporting the supposedly most important 0:16:03.840 --> 0:16:07.280 coalition that's ever been built on Earth. Everybody says that 0:16:07.360 --> 0:16:11.520 about us being in it, but you know, gives a 0:16:11.600 --> 0:16:13.640 pass to all these NATO countries that don't seem to 0:16:13.640 --> 0:16:15.520 care about it as much as you do because they 0:16:15.560 --> 0:16:18.600 weren't spending money on it anyway. They've all agreed to 0:16:18.880 --> 0:16:20.760 the two percent they're supposed to pay, an up in 0:16:20.800 --> 0:16:23.720 it to five percent. Everybody but Italy, I guess, has 0:16:23.760 --> 0:16:27.560 agreed to do that. Spain who cares kick him out 0:16:27.560 --> 0:16:30.720 of NATO. U And I saw one of our euro friends. 0:16:30.720 --> 0:16:34.160 I don't remember if it was a starmer or Fred 0:16:34.160 --> 0:16:36.440 Mertz from Germany or whoever it was, but in a 0:16:36.440 --> 0:16:39.480 speech today at NATO saying I'd like to congratulate Donald 0:16:39.520 --> 0:16:43.720 Trump on getting everybody to contribute more money. We've been 0:16:43.880 --> 0:16:47.720 living off the largest of the United States for too long, 0:16:47.760 --> 0:16:50.040 and we need to all come together as a coalition 0:16:50.120 --> 0:16:51.000 and pay our share. 0:16:51.240 --> 0:16:54.880 And maybe he's going to destroy NATO. Trump is destroying. 0:16:54.400 --> 0:16:56.400 NATO, and that was one of our allies, you know, 0:16:57.040 --> 0:16:58.960 praising Trump for that, for that movie. 0:16:58.960 --> 0:17:03.000 That's obviously a thing for the whole world. Yeah, one 0:17:03.400 --> 0:17:03.800 more thing. 0:17:04.240 --> 0:17:06.439 Trump was asked about Article five, in case you're not 0:17:06.600 --> 0:17:08.520 into this stuff enough to know that Article five of 0:17:08.560 --> 0:17:10.560 the NATO Charter is an attack on one as an 0:17:10.560 --> 0:17:15.240 attack on all. In other words, if Putin invade Estonia, 0:17:15.440 --> 0:17:20.800 who's in NATO, We the United States are pledged to. 0:17:20.000 --> 0:17:22.280 Fight on their behalf against Russia. 0:17:22.960 --> 0:17:25.480 Anyway, Trump was asked, can you clarify your stands on 0:17:25.600 --> 0:17:28.000 Article five? Trump said, I stand with it. That's why 0:17:28.000 --> 0:17:29.919 I'm here. If I didn't stand with it, I wouldn't 0:17:29.920 --> 0:17:32.920 be here. The reporter said, so you'd defend countries. Trump 0:17:33.040 --> 0:17:34.480 jumped in, what did I just say? 0:17:34.640 --> 0:17:37.520 Yeah? Why would I be here? Right? Right? 0:17:37.680 --> 0:17:42.480 Of course, that's worth nothing. If if Trump would decide 0:17:42.520 --> 0:17:45.600 we're not going to war to defend Estonia, and like 0:17:45.720 --> 0:17:47.919 ninety percent of Americans say, yeah, we're with you. 0:17:49.480 --> 0:17:53.400 Yeah, yeah, And I have one more point to make. 0:17:53.440 --> 0:17:56.240 But we're pressed for time, and this will probably be 0:17:56.320 --> 0:17:59.120 a story in the next well fifty years from now. 0:17:59.160 --> 0:18:00.440 Just like it was fifty years ago. 0:18:00.480 --> 0:18:01.960 I don't even know where I would be on that. 0:18:02.280 --> 0:18:04.920 Do we fully come to the defense of Estonia with 0:18:05.040 --> 0:18:07.120 all the might of the American We do? 0:18:07.280 --> 0:18:08.240 Yes, Yes, we do. 0:18:08.320 --> 0:18:11.960 Wow, Josep Jefferson, You and Lindsey Graham and h and 0:18:12.440 --> 0:18:15.760 John Bolton. Oh, the three of us were forming a 0:18:15.800 --> 0:18:18.040 barbershop quartet. We need one more gun. 0:18:20.560 --> 0:18:21.719 Armstrong and Getty. 0:18:23.200 --> 0:18:27.240 I'm actually going to use this drop off early feature. 0:18:27.480 --> 0:18:29.760 Oh awesome. Oh, we are stuck a little bit in 0:18:29.760 --> 0:18:33.880 the intersection. He is stuck. Oh okay, there it goes. 0:18:34.200 --> 0:18:36.040 So it was a few seconds. I do feel bad 0:18:36.040 --> 0:18:37.800 for him because he was definitely in the intersection. I 0:18:37.960 --> 0:18:40.480 what the car should have known? Yeah, not stop there, 0:18:40.480 --> 0:18:42.760 not stop there? Exactly what happened there? 0:18:43.160 --> 0:18:46.480 That is a Tesla Auto Taxi getting stuck in an 0:18:46.480 --> 0:18:49.040 intersection during a test. 0:18:48.920 --> 0:18:51.320 Well showing how great it was. Was it stuck for 0:18:51.400 --> 0:18:52.720 longer than it sounded like? There? 0:18:52.760 --> 0:18:54.600 I mean, was that a condensed version? Did it sit 0:18:54.840 --> 0:18:59.240 for forty five seconds? Okay? Four to five or. 0:18:59.160 --> 0:19:02.240 Forty forty five okay? Yeah, forty five seconds is too 0:19:02.240 --> 0:19:03.480 long to sit in an intersection? 0:19:03.600 --> 0:19:08.000 Yeah, right, and my understanding, And it wasn't at an intersection. 0:19:08.119 --> 0:19:10.960 It was in the intersection. It was just sitting there 0:19:10.960 --> 0:19:13.879 where the cars go to and fro. So more to 0:19:13.920 --> 0:19:15.920 be worked out. Obviously, it's an amazing system and it's 0:19:15.920 --> 0:19:19.159 going to take a while, but still more work to do. 0:19:19.920 --> 0:19:23.159 Speaking of consumer issues, that sort of thing. Really some 0:19:23.280 --> 0:19:28.439 striking economic numbers out, oh, coming up inside the petty 0:19:28.640 --> 0:19:32.959 and what was the other word, the complex and petty 0:19:33.119 --> 0:19:35.000 pre nups of the super wealthy. 0:19:37.040 --> 0:19:39.560 Wouldn't you like to be petty about the super wealthy? 0:19:40.320 --> 0:19:40.720 Come on? 0:19:40.960 --> 0:19:43.199 I saw I saw some of the pushback there in 0:19:43.320 --> 0:19:46.159 Venice about the Bezos and his wife wedding. There's a 0:19:46.240 --> 0:19:50.159 lot of protesters. They unfurled a giant sign in the 0:19:50.160 --> 0:19:52.400 middle of whatever square that was there. 0:19:52.960 --> 0:19:55.600 Did it say how much work is too much? With 0:19:55.680 --> 0:19:56.639 the picture of her face? 0:19:56.800 --> 0:20:01.800 No, Now there's a giant sign that said, if you 0:20:01.800 --> 0:20:04.320 can afford this wedding, you can afford to pay more taxes. 0:20:05.760 --> 0:20:07.080 Okay, all right? 0:20:07.600 --> 0:20:12.399 Anyway, So some fairly shocking economic numbers out about the 0:20:12.600 --> 0:20:17.760 purchasing the spending of eighteen to twenty four year old adults. 0:20:19.200 --> 0:20:24.080 It fell thirteen percent year over year, thirteen percent a lot. 0:20:24.640 --> 0:20:27.879 It's a huge drop spending. My older groups is still 0:20:27.920 --> 0:20:31.439 on the rise, but has slowed significantly. They mentioned a 0:20:31.440 --> 0:20:34.280 combination of economic challenges. Young grads are having a much 0:20:34.320 --> 0:20:38.560 tougher tougher time finding jobs. Student loan payments are restarting 0:20:38.600 --> 0:20:40.080 for millions of borrowers. 0:20:40.400 --> 0:20:41.720 That for that crowd. 0:20:41.760 --> 0:20:44.119 I know a few people in that situation, and it 0:20:44.119 --> 0:20:46.719
