WEBVTT - They Didn't Raise Themselves 0:00:02.759 --> 0:00:06.560 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio of the 0:00:06.640 --> 0:00:08.560 George Washington Broadcast Center. 0:00:08.720 --> 0:00:12.640 Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty arm Strong and Jett and 0:00:12.800 --> 0:00:18.160 now he Armstrong and Jetty. 0:00:24.239 --> 0:00:27.640 Abolish the police, Abolish Ice, abolished borders, abolished the Senate, 0:00:27.640 --> 0:00:34.120 abolished the Constitution. It's an extreme political ideology that is 0:00:34.320 --> 0:00:38.919 gaining traction. The Democrat leadership has lost control. They know it, 0:00:39.440 --> 0:00:44.360 and people like Alexandria Ocassio Cartez Hong in Wisconsin, abdul 0:00:44.479 --> 0:00:46.960 L sayed, in Michigan, we talked about the big tent. 0:00:47.479 --> 0:00:51.559 The Democrat Jewish Attorney General of Michigan cannot even go 0:00:51.600 --> 0:00:55.240 to her party's nominating convention because she says I won't 0:00:55.280 --> 0:00:59.640 be safe there because of the supporters of abdul L sayed. 0:01:00.440 --> 0:01:04.240 It is not hyperbole to suggest that we are in 0:01:04.280 --> 0:01:06.039 a battle for. 0:01:08.319 --> 0:01:10.399 The Constitution of the United States and. 0:01:12.000 --> 0:01:15.640 The way that constitution has given us such a wonderful 0:01:16.360 --> 0:01:20.400 way of life, so much opportunity, so much safety. And 0:01:20.480 --> 0:01:23.440 nobody knows that better than our colleague Jason Rantz, who 0:01:23.520 --> 0:01:26.440 holds down afternoon drive on one of the great conservative 0:01:26.480 --> 0:01:31.000 radio stations in America, Seattle read seven seventy am, Jason 0:01:31.120 --> 0:01:33.760 joins us. Now, Jason, how are you, my friend. I'm 0:01:33.760 --> 0:01:36.800 doing well. Thanks for having me excellent. Oh it's a pleasure. 0:01:36.840 --> 0:01:38.440 I'm so glad you had a little bit of time. 0:01:39.120 --> 0:01:41.880 You based out of Seattle. You're a man of the 0:01:41.920 --> 0:01:45.120 Pacific Northwest, which is one of my favorite places on Earth. 0:01:45.440 --> 0:01:47.160 My daughter lives not very far from you. 0:01:48.880 --> 0:01:56.760 Watching the progressives damage your state and city is painful, 0:01:57.280 --> 0:02:00.480 and it's got to be painful for you, but at 0:02:00.480 --> 0:02:03.480 the same time kind of energizing. Help people understand what 0:02:03.600 --> 0:02:06.440 Washington State looks like in what direction that's headed these days. 0:02:07.120 --> 0:02:09.440 Oh, we're certainly not going in the right direction. 0:02:09.680 --> 0:02:13.119 The biggest fight right now is, well, there's actually quite 0:02:13.120 --> 0:02:15.480 a few fights coming into this election. We've got three 0:02:15.520 --> 0:02:18.480 initiatives on the ballot that have been forwarded by Conservatives. 0:02:18.840 --> 0:02:22.760 One is to reverse course for the twelfth time on 0:02:22.840 --> 0:02:25.960 an income tax that Democrats keep trying to impose. 0:02:25.600 --> 0:02:26.240 On all of us. 0:02:26.280 --> 0:02:29.519 They have completely rigged the system to make it as 0:02:29.639 --> 0:02:34.120 difficult as humanly possible to get rid of this income tax. 0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:36.799 But we're obviously going to fight for that. The other 0:02:36.960 --> 0:02:39.280 two issues, one having to do with a pro bill 0:02:39.320 --> 0:02:42.080 of rights, which no longer exists in the state of 0:02:42.160 --> 0:02:46.680 Washington after voters passed it, the Democrat legislature said, now 0:02:46.680 --> 0:02:48.840 we're going to just reverse course on what the voters wanted, 0:02:49.160 --> 0:02:53.960 and the final one would ban transgender girls from competing 0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:58.640 against biological girls in high school sports. All three pull 0:02:58.800 --> 0:03:00.919 on the side of conservatives because I don't think they're 0:03:01.000 --> 0:03:04.600 viewed as political issues, at least not inherently. That these 0:03:04.600 --> 0:03:09.080 are issues that regardless of how one identifies politically, can say, yeah, 0:03:09.080 --> 0:03:12.400 this is not something we want in our state. Democrats 0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:14.600 continue to ignore it. So now it's going to the people. 0:03:15.120 --> 0:03:19.720 Seattle specifically, we're seeing an increase in crime again, homelessness 0:03:19.720 --> 0:03:21.360 is getting out of control, and we have a mayor 0:03:21.360 --> 0:03:24.240 who's a socialist who's never held a real job in 0:03:24.280 --> 0:03:28.800 her life, and she's not handling this position very well, 0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:31.400 to the point where even left wing media is calling 0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:32.720 her out for incompetence. 0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:36.120 Yeah, Katie Wilson, the mayor of Seattle, reminds me of 0:03:36.200 --> 0:03:39.600 Francesca Hong, the woman child who wants to be governor 0:03:39.600 --> 0:03:43.400 of Wisconsin. They're kind of cut from the same cloth, Dreamy, 0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:46.080 I mean, at least Francesca Hong has been a cook. 0:03:46.440 --> 0:03:49.240 I mean, she's had a job, tend's bar now and. 0:03:49.240 --> 0:03:51.560 Again, but kind of that dreamy. 0:03:52.160 --> 0:03:54.440 All they know is what they learned in their social 0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:58.240 classes at college, supported by mom and dad. 0:03:58.320 --> 0:04:02.119 Still, it's just looking to me that these people get elected. 0:04:02.720 --> 0:04:05.520 Well, the good news is, at least in Wisconsin, she'll 0:04:05.560 --> 0:04:07.320 win tonight, Hong will win the primary. 0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:08.680 She's not going to get elected. 0:04:08.960 --> 0:04:12.800 There's no one, sirius, who thinks she stands a shot 0:04:13.200 --> 0:04:16.160 in Wisconsin for governor. It's the same thing in Michigan, 0:04:16.240 --> 0:04:20.960 where you know, privately Democrats will acknowledge, yeah, there's no 0:04:21.000 --> 0:04:23.920 way Abdul al Sayed is going to win this. He's 0:04:24.000 --> 0:04:27.919 too extreme for Michigan. The threat for Republicans would have 0:04:27.960 --> 0:04:33.000 been Hayley Stevens. Different take in Seattle and Washington, right, 0:04:33.000 --> 0:04:36.080 I mean, we are deeply, deeply, deeply blue. We are 0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:40.480 unapologetically blue, and Seattle is the worst of the worst. 0:04:40.520 --> 0:04:43.000 So you can get someone like a Katie Wilson or 0:04:43.480 --> 0:04:48.160 el Said or Hong and they could in fact win there. 0:04:48.160 --> 0:04:50.600 And that's the scary part where people don't look at 0:04:50.640 --> 0:04:52.479 these people at the local. 0:04:52.240 --> 0:04:55.240 Level where I'm from and say. 0:04:55.240 --> 0:04:58.080 Okay, I guess I agree with them ideologically, but they 0:04:58.120 --> 0:04:59.960 don't have any experience. And I don't want to turn 0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:02.200 and over the rains to a major city with a 0:05:02.320 --> 0:05:05.200 huge budget to someone like that simply because I agree 0:05:05.200 --> 0:05:08.280 with them ideologically. There's got to be someone else who 0:05:08.520 --> 0:05:11.400 I can align with, who actually comes with some experience. 0:05:11.839 --> 0:05:15.159 We don't vote like that, and we suffer the consequences 0:05:15.200 --> 0:05:15.760 as a result. 0:05:16.560 --> 0:05:20.400 We've all watched San Francisco take a turn towards the sane. 0:05:20.920 --> 0:05:23.239 Daniel Lurie's the mayor there, and he's. 0:05:23.040 --> 0:05:27.120 No Conservative, but he's the sort of fellow that you're describing. 0:05:27.600 --> 0:05:31.920 He can perceive reality and tell you about it. I 0:05:31.960 --> 0:05:35.919 see in Vancouver, which is one of the great places 0:05:35.960 --> 0:05:39.080 on Earth, that the police have been ordered to stop 0:05:39.120 --> 0:05:44.240 citing shoplifting and public hard drug use. I mean, doubling 0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:47.760 down on the absolutely corrosive policies that we've seen fail 0:05:47.839 --> 0:05:49.120 so miserably everywhere else. 0:05:49.560 --> 0:05:51.840 Well, and that's the sad part about all of this. 0:05:51.839 --> 0:05:53.040 This is twenty twenty six. 0:05:53.080 --> 0:05:55.400 This is in twenty twenty through twenty twenty three, where 0:05:55.400 --> 0:05:57.880 a lot of the defund police and the abolition has 0:05:57.920 --> 0:05:59.919 had a whole lot of control, and that decided to 0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:05.520 completely redefine what policing and prosecution meant and meant, and 0:06:05.600 --> 0:06:10.320 we all saw the results of that. We saw crime skyrocket. 0:06:10.440 --> 0:06:13.000 Only recently, in the last couple of years have we 0:06:13.040 --> 0:06:16.479 seen those numbers to start coming back down to where 0:06:16.480 --> 0:06:19.120 they used to be pre COVID. Because you know, it's 0:06:19.160 --> 0:06:21.440 kind of like going on a diet. It takes a 0:06:21.600 --> 0:06:24.000 very long time to lose like ten pounds, and then 0:06:24.000 --> 0:06:25.599 you go to Vegas for the weekend and then you 0:06:25.680 --> 0:06:30.640 gain fifteen. It's really, really, really easy to destroy our 0:06:30.760 --> 0:06:34.320 communities and lead to this rise in crime. It takes 0:06:34.360 --> 0:06:37.760 a long time to go back to normal, and that's 0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:41.560 what we've seen, only for Vancouver to reverse course. And 0:06:41.600 --> 0:06:43.880 again this was all by design that not to get 0:06:43.880 --> 0:06:45.320 two in the weeds. But the reason why they're doing 0:06:45.360 --> 0:06:48.599 this in Vancouver is because the Washington State Supreme Court, 0:06:48.640 --> 0:06:54.240 which is dominated by liberals, lowered the threshold for the 0:06:54.279 --> 0:06:56.520 minimum or the excuse me, the maximum cases that a 0:06:56.560 --> 0:07:00.279 public defender can hold. And every prosecutor out there side 0:07:00.279 --> 0:07:03.440 of Seattle and King County said, we don't have enough, 0:07:04.279 --> 0:07:07.400 you know, defenders for this for what you're asking, and 0:07:07.480 --> 0:07:11.160 if you change these rules, you're gonna make it so 0:07:11.240 --> 0:07:13.320 that we can't actually prosecute. We're gonna have to just 0:07:13.360 --> 0:07:15.520 release people. We're not even gonna be able to charge them. 0:07:15.800 --> 0:07:18.120 And this is a direct result. They ignored all of 0:07:18.160 --> 0:07:20.920 the complaints coming from the prosecuting attorney's office because they're 0:07:20.920 --> 0:07:23.440 the ones who have to fund the public defender's offices. 0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:26.040 They just ignored all of that. They implemented the plan, 0:07:26.160 --> 0:07:27.800 and now we're seeing the results. And again, this is 0:07:27.840 --> 0:07:30.440 not just specifically to Vancouver. If you go all around 0:07:30.440 --> 0:07:32.800 the state of Washington, you're going to see similar instances 0:07:32.840 --> 0:07:35.920 in which criminals are being let go because they just 0:07:35.920 --> 0:07:38.640 don't have public defenders to handle the cases. 0:07:39.360 --> 0:07:42.880 We're talking to a Jason Rants, you know, Jason, occasionally, 0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:46.080 I'll take off of my patriot and concerned citizen hat 0:07:46.120 --> 0:07:49.520 and just put on my political science, you know, analyst hat. 0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:54.240 And I've got to tell you, the far left were 0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:59.480 it was ingenious that they ran their candidates for district attorney, 0:07:59.480 --> 0:08:02.880 county attorne, that sort of thing, county prosecutor, and got 0:08:02.880 --> 0:08:05.840 the Marxists in and took over the school boards, while 0:08:05.880 --> 0:08:08.840 the rest of us were assuming that, well, everybody has 0:08:08.880 --> 0:08:10.480 the same values because we all grew up with them, 0:08:10.520 --> 0:08:11.720 we were taught them we love this country. 0:08:11.720 --> 0:08:12.440 Blah blah blah. 0:08:12.480 --> 0:08:16.160 That was a stroke of evil genius, but as you indicate, 0:08:16.840 --> 0:08:19.880 digging our way out of the holes that that's created, 0:08:20.000 --> 0:08:23.160 and we need to win back those offices and then 0:08:23.240 --> 0:08:26.200 spend years on doing this stuff we do. 0:08:26.320 --> 0:08:31.480 And you know, generally conservatives and independence to a degree 0:08:31.520 --> 0:08:34.320 just by their definition of being an independent, we're not 0:08:34.360 --> 0:08:39.000 particularly organized. And the far left is that they are 0:08:39.400 --> 0:08:43.640 very organized. A lot of them do this professionally, you know, 0:08:43.720 --> 0:08:45.440 sort of live in this activist space. 0:08:45.480 --> 0:08:46.920 They take advantage of younger. 0:08:46.720 --> 0:08:50.599 Voters who especially during primaries when the turnout. 0:08:50.120 --> 0:08:51.200 Is generally low. 0:08:52.040 --> 0:08:54.320 As long as you're organized, you bring out x amount 0:08:54.320 --> 0:08:56.199 of people depending on where it is you live, it's 0:08:56.200 --> 0:08:58.840 almost a guarantee that you're going to win in the primary. 0:08:58.840 --> 0:09:01.800 That doesn't always try to general election wins. 0:09:01.880 --> 0:09:05.679 Sometimes it does, but it doesn't always, and they've been 0:09:05.720 --> 0:09:06.440 able to take. 0:09:06.320 --> 0:09:08.880 Advantage of that. You combine in I'm. 0:09:08.720 --> 0:09:11.559 Glad you brought up specifically like school board races. Those 0:09:11.679 --> 0:09:16.520 also are just low turnout elections. Even in generals, you've 0:09:16.559 --> 0:09:19.760 got people who vote who have no clue who they're voting. 0:09:19.800 --> 0:09:21.520 For they look, Oh I like that name. I have 0:09:21.559 --> 0:09:24.160 an aunt named Susie. I'll vote for her. That's how 0:09:24.200 --> 0:09:26.240 they tend to vote on these races, especially if you 0:09:26.240 --> 0:09:28.840 don't have any kids, you're not paying his close attention 0:09:29.040 --> 0:09:29.400 to it. 0:09:29.440 --> 0:09:32.120 And if they vote at all, and the teachers and 0:09:32.160 --> 0:09:37.040 the teachers union vote to vote every single time one. 0:09:37.040 --> 0:09:40.800 Hundred percent, And that's where the organizational stuff comes into play. 0:09:41.120 --> 0:09:43.600 And that's on us, right. I mean, the people are listening. 0:09:43.640 --> 0:09:45.440 I guarantee you there's a huge number of people who 0:09:45.440 --> 0:09:47.560 didn't even vote. And if they did vote, they didn't 0:09:47.600 --> 0:09:49.520 vote on every single election. And if they did vote 0:09:49.559 --> 0:09:51.480 on every single election, I guarantee they didn't do the 0:09:51.720 --> 0:09:54.160 enough research on all the candidates before. 0:09:53.960 --> 0:09:56.720 They decided to vote. And that needs to change. 0:09:57.160 --> 0:09:59.319 Well, we got to keep browbeating them in anyway, that's 0:09:59.320 --> 0:10:02.480 what people tune in for, a good solid browbeating. To 0:10:03.520 --> 0:10:06.319 your point about organizing, You remember when Barack Obama first 0:10:06.400 --> 0:10:08.520 came on the scene and we were told he was 0:10:08.520 --> 0:10:11.440 a community organizer, and three quarters of America said, what 0:10:11.520 --> 0:10:15.280 the hell's a community organizer? But they know on the left, 0:10:15.320 --> 0:10:18.000 and you know, the irony is what we're calling for 0:10:18.080 --> 0:10:21.520 is individualists of the world unite. I mean, it's just 0:10:21.720 --> 0:10:24.640 not in our nature. But we'd better and quick. 0:10:25.840 --> 0:10:31.359 Yeah again, we seed power to folks who hold minority viewpoints, 0:10:31.360 --> 0:10:34.360 and yet they have control over the legislatures, they have 0:10:34.360 --> 0:10:37.920 control over the culture because we've allowed them to take over. 0:10:38.640 --> 0:10:42.360 We know when we pull individual topics. Defund police is 0:10:42.360 --> 0:10:45.720 a perfect example of that. Open borders. We know where 0:10:45.760 --> 0:10:49.880 the American people, regardless of their political ideology stand. They 0:10:49.880 --> 0:10:52.920 are against police defunding, they are against open borders, and 0:10:53.000 --> 0:10:55.920 yet they're not voting. And if we can't inspire them 0:10:55.960 --> 0:10:57.280 to vote. And some of that, by the way, is 0:10:57.320 --> 0:11:00.440 on conservatives in particular, who I think send a bad 0:11:00.480 --> 0:11:03.960 message about elections being stolen. I think systems can be 0:11:04.120 --> 0:11:06.960 rigged to make it difficult to win. I hold that view. 0:11:07.280 --> 0:11:09.760 But elections don't need to be stolen if people aren't voting. 0:11:10.120 --> 0:11:13.080 So even if you were to believe that the tallies 0:11:13.120 --> 0:11:16.880 are being manipulated behind the scenes, make it hard for them, 0:11:16.920 --> 0:11:19.440 then go ahead and vote and make it more difficult 0:11:19.480 --> 0:11:20.760 for them to steal anything. 0:11:20.800 --> 0:11:23.000 If that's what you truly believe. And I don't believe that. 0:11:23.120 --> 0:11:24.959 I think that we are losing because we don't get 0:11:24.960 --> 0:11:26.800 out the vote, and there are too many people on 0:11:26.840 --> 0:11:29.160 our side who have decided to give up because they 0:11:29.160 --> 0:11:31.720 think the system is so corrupt that they can't win elections. 0:11:32.040 --> 0:11:34.839 But you're ganning over the election to the. 0:11:34.800 --> 0:11:37.559 Left, Jason, I agree with you one hundred percent. I 0:11:37.600 --> 0:11:41.319 think it's an absolutely great point, perhaps the most corrosive 0:11:41.440 --> 0:11:44.640 force in you know, politics are running a country is 0:11:45.200 --> 0:11:48.280 a comfort. Being comfortable because you stop doing the work. 0:11:48.400 --> 0:11:51.800 And our generation, I'll take the blame. I don't think 0:11:51.840 --> 0:11:54.600 we did a good job of convincing our children how 0:11:54.600 --> 0:11:58.400 important liberty is and limited government and how sacred our 0:11:58.480 --> 0:12:00.920 rights are because we assume we got comfortable. We assumed 0:12:00.960 --> 0:12:05.720 everybody agreed. But keep keep preaching the good word. Jason, 0:12:05.880 --> 0:12:08.840 love it big fan. Jason RAN's, host of the Jason 0:12:08.880 --> 0:12:11.120 Rant Show on Seattle read seven to seventy a m. 0:12:11.320 --> 0:12:14.120 In the afternoon, where we're honored to be on in 0:12:14.160 --> 0:12:16.160 the morning. Thanks Milling, Jason, good to talk to you. 0:12:16.800 --> 0:12:18.040 Thanks for having me appreciate you. 0:12:18.480 --> 0:12:20.120 Oh yeah, absolutely yeah. 0:12:20.200 --> 0:12:22.120 Jason's also I didn't want to kiss his but too much, 0:12:22.120 --> 0:12:26.520 but he's a terrific writer and appears on Fox News 0:12:26.559 --> 0:12:29.320 semi regularly. It's that sort of thing. I don't know 0:12:29.559 --> 0:12:33.080 how he finds the time and energy. This mess is 0:12:33.600 --> 0:12:38.800 all I can take, combined with you know, family responsibilities 0:12:38.840 --> 0:12:42.319 and having something like a personal life. But anyways, terrific, 0:12:42.640 --> 0:12:45.360 terrific guy in a hell of a talent, So so 0:12:45.480 --> 0:12:48.959 much more to get to. Hope you can stay around 0:12:49.000 --> 0:12:51.400 if you can. As always subscribed to the podcast Armstrong 0:12:51.440 --> 0:13:01.800 and Getty on demand. But we take a quick look 0:13:01.840 --> 0:13:05.280 at the situation Ian Iran, the Gulf of Hormuz, I'm sorry, 0:13:05.320 --> 0:13:08.920 the Straits of Hormos et Cetera's Kersimmons on NBC to. 0:13:08.880 --> 0:13:12.200 The stalemate over the Strait of Hamus, Ran demanding what 0:13:12.240 --> 0:13:14.840 would amount of billions of dollars before it will stop 0:13:14.880 --> 0:13:18.320 attacking commercial ships in the strait, and President Trump now 0:13:18.360 --> 0:13:21.880 pushing back, the President pointing to decades of deadly Iranian 0:13:21.880 --> 0:13:25.480 attacks on US soldiers and what the UN calls Iran's 0:13:25.520 --> 0:13:29.840 alarming increase in executions of Iranian protesters, and Iran demanding 0:13:29.880 --> 0:13:33.320 more concessions than the previous ceasefire, including that the US 0:13:33.440 --> 0:13:37.360 military leave the region. The renewed standoff, suggesting the Strait 0:13:37.360 --> 0:13:39.680 of Hamus will not reopen anytime soon. 0:13:40.559 --> 0:13:45.000 So you had the alleged agreement and that that's fine, Michael, 0:13:45.000 --> 0:13:47.200 we won't use that other clip. You had the alleged 0:13:47.240 --> 0:13:49.800 agreement that keeps getting you know, put off and rescinded, 0:13:49.840 --> 0:13:53.520 and it's just a joke. And the Iranians come back 0:13:53.559 --> 0:13:56.280 with a yeah, well, we need you to withdraw all 0:13:56.320 --> 0:13:58.920 your forces and pay us billions of dollars in reparations 0:13:58.920 --> 0:14:02.360 and never attack us again, and never attack our proxies again, 0:14:02.800 --> 0:14:06.280 and we want to air Force one and utah, I mean, 0:14:06.360 --> 0:14:12.199 just making hilarious demands. And Trump responded yesterday with yeah, well, 0:14:12.240 --> 0:14:15.559 we want reparations for every soldier you've killed, all the 0:14:15.640 --> 0:14:18.720 damage all your proxies have done, all the attacks through 0:14:18.760 --> 0:14:21.640 the years, starting with the embassy in nineteen seventy nine. 0:14:21.800 --> 0:14:24.360 And as a professional wise ass I appreciate the wise 0:14:24.400 --> 0:14:27.560 assory of it, but it's really not getting us anywhere 0:14:27.600 --> 0:14:31.800 except signaling to them that they can f wright off. However, 0:14:32.120 --> 0:14:34.200 that leaves us where we were yesterday. I think a 0:14:34.280 --> 0:14:37.040 handful of headlines real quickly to give you a description 0:14:37.080 --> 0:14:41.840 of where we are. The journal says Gulf States accept 0:14:41.840 --> 0:14:44.600 a new normal and horm moves, Iran is in control 0:14:44.880 --> 0:14:47.880 oil and gas exporters dislike the emerging deal to reopen 0:14:47.880 --> 0:14:52.280 the waterway, but see it as the least bad option version. 0:14:52.280 --> 0:14:54.880 Golf energy producers are concluding that Iran's control over the 0:14:54.880 --> 0:14:57.320 Straight or Hormuves will become permanent, disrupting their oil and 0:14:57.360 --> 0:15:01.480 gas exports and global energy supply indefinitely. The problem is 0:15:01.480 --> 0:15:05.280 they worried the alternative, going back to war, would be worse. 0:15:06.960 --> 0:15:09.880 That's true unless the US and the Gulf States and 0:15:09.920 --> 0:15:18.440 the world decided the Islamist supremacist violence, terror exporting lunatics 0:15:18.480 --> 0:15:21.000 of Iran need to be defeated once and for all, 0:15:21.040 --> 0:15:23.560 and I don't think I see that well. Around the 0:15:23.640 --> 0:15:31.440 National Review Rights, Iran is rewiring its proxy network. They 0:15:31.520 --> 0:15:38.120 mentioned that the IRGC goons are going out into the 0:15:38.160 --> 0:15:42.520 Axis of resistance, the Gulf States, you know, just all 0:15:42.560 --> 0:15:49.080 over the place, Lebanon, Iraq, Yemen, wherever their proxies ooch about. 0:15:49.480 --> 0:15:52.160 You know, Hamas is certainly on that list, and they're 0:15:52.240 --> 0:15:59.600 teaching them new methods of organization and fighting and de set. Essentially, 0:15:59.600 --> 0:16:03.800 they're teaching them how to organize into smaller, decentralized cells 0:16:04.400 --> 0:16:09.160 outside the traditional militia hierarchies that they've always used to 0:16:09.280 --> 0:16:13.640 make the network more resilient and less vulnerable to decapitation strikes. 0:16:15.880 --> 0:16:18.880 They're describing it as strategic integration in Iran. So they're 0:16:18.880 --> 0:16:21.640 trying to rewire because they want to continue to fight 0:16:21.680 --> 0:16:24.960 for Islamic supremacy all over the region and all over 0:16:25.000 --> 0:16:28.440 the globe and harden themselves against the ability of the 0:16:28.480 --> 0:16:32.080 West to fight against them. Another headline Iran's mysterious ruler 0:16:32.120 --> 0:16:35.320 signal is a hard line on Trump with new leadership. Evidently, 0:16:35.320 --> 0:16:39.400 according to our intelligence guys, weird Beard Junior is still alive, 0:16:39.880 --> 0:16:44.600 badly injured, but he's still wasting oxygen by breathing. But 0:16:44.880 --> 0:16:48.680 he has to the extent that he's in charge. He 0:16:48.800 --> 0:16:56.560 has appointed absolute murderous hard asses in domestic security. So 0:16:56.760 --> 0:16:59.680 if anybody so much is suggests, hey, the US has 0:16:59.760 --> 0:17:01.960 kind of a point, you will get tortured to death. 0:17:02.480 --> 0:17:08.040 They've gone harder, hardcore than the folks that machine gun 0:17:08.080 --> 0:17:10.880 dollar citizens in the streets. And finally, Trump's blockade keeps 0:17:10.880 --> 0:17:13.240 the economic pressure on a rand that appears to be 0:17:13.320 --> 0:17:16.440 our strategy. We're gonna squeeze them economically till they give, 0:17:16.800 --> 0:17:17.720 But will they give? 0:17:18.119 --> 0:17:22.720 Armstrong and Getty sad news from California. Jackie of the 0:17:22.720 --> 0:17:26.280 beloved bald eagle duo Jackie in Shadow, watched by millions 0:17:26.280 --> 0:17:29.080 on the Big Bear live feed, died about three weeks 0:17:29.119 --> 0:17:32.080 after being attacked by two other bald eagles and taken 0:17:32.119 --> 0:17:35.800 to a rehab facility. She raised six eaglets over the 0:17:35.880 --> 0:17:39.000 years and was believed to be fourteen years old. 0:17:40.040 --> 0:17:42.359 First of all, eagles don't have names. 0:17:43.480 --> 0:17:47.720 Secondly, if that's what happens in nature, that's what happens 0:17:47.760 --> 0:17:53.280 in nature. I could blame California being soft on crime 0:17:53.760 --> 0:17:55.280 for this horrific crime. 0:17:55.320 --> 0:17:57.439 But it was interesting. Katie was telling us. 0:17:57.480 --> 0:17:59.679 I think it was off the air yesterday that the 0:18:00.119 --> 0:18:04.399 that center where the eagle was being cared for was 0:18:04.520 --> 0:18:08.040 just so inundated by calls and people showing up that 0:18:08.080 --> 0:18:09.359 they could barely do their thing. 0:18:09.800 --> 0:18:12.200 Yeah, the people were showing up, not only at the center, 0:18:12.240 --> 0:18:14.320 but at the care that people that were taking care 0:18:14.359 --> 0:18:18.679 of their homes somehow they found there are there, you know, 0:18:19.160 --> 0:18:22.639 their residence. This whole thing, I mean, it's it's sad, 0:18:22.720 --> 0:18:23.760 and I get. 0:18:23.600 --> 0:18:26.119 It, but like you said, nature took its course. 0:18:26.280 --> 0:18:31.920 Dude, Jackie, you here, where's Jackie Geez again? Mister president. Coincidentally, 0:18:32.040 --> 0:18:36.840 Jackie has passed. Ah yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't I 0:18:36.840 --> 0:18:40.240 get we need the soft hearted in the overly emotional 0:18:40.280 --> 0:18:42.800 in humanity. I believe in balance and that sort of thing. 0:18:42.800 --> 0:18:46.480 But look, there is no crueler bitch on earth than 0:18:46.520 --> 0:18:52.879 Mother Nature. Pardon my frank terminology, A and B. While 0:18:52.920 --> 0:18:57.240 there aren't that many bald eagles, and where was Jackie 0:18:57.560 --> 0:18:58.040 big bear? 0:18:58.680 --> 0:18:59.080 Big bear? 0:18:59.160 --> 0:19:04.400 Okay, beautiful, beautiful part of southern California. I've just been. 0:19:05.040 --> 0:19:08.199 I'm just back from Alaska, where I can report that 0:19:08.240 --> 0:19:09.240 they're like crows. 0:19:09.720 --> 0:19:12.159 There are a lot of them, a hell of a 0:19:12.200 --> 0:19:12.840 lot of them. 0:19:13.240 --> 0:19:16.680 So if eagles did what eagles do and Jackie's dead, 0:19:16.840 --> 0:19:17.760 that's just the way it goes. 0:19:17.840 --> 0:19:23.800 I let the mighty eles again. I think you missed 0:19:23.800 --> 0:19:26.000 the lead. The eagle is dead, So. 0:19:29.480 --> 0:19:32.960 I'm sure i'll get angry emails about how insensitive I am. No, 0:19:33.040 --> 0:19:36.880 I just I like nature and I understand human beings 0:19:36.960 --> 0:19:39.719 don't get to tell nature how to be nature. 0:19:41.400 --> 0:19:44.600 So I'm not gonna dwell on this. I promise. 0:19:46.400 --> 0:19:52.080 The whole WNBA controversy that really heated up when this 0:19:52.480 --> 0:19:53.320 Djna is. 0:19:53.240 --> 0:19:53.840 That her name? 0:19:54.840 --> 0:19:59.880 Dj Na Carrington Pole axed Sophie Cunningham in the head 0:20:00.600 --> 0:20:02.920 and it was a flagrant too fowl as they say 0:20:02.960 --> 0:20:06.199 in the basketball business, which meant she got ejected. And 0:20:06.240 --> 0:20:08.760 then she went to the locker room, Miss Carrington and 0:20:10.840 --> 0:20:16.879 messaged out on her Apple choice hashtag white privilege, hashtag 0:20:16.920 --> 0:20:20.920 Indiana anyway, and everybody's like, what the hell are you 0:20:20.960 --> 0:20:24.280 talking about. You practically killed this woman and you got ejected. 0:20:24.280 --> 0:20:26.280 It has nothing to do with race. Well, she has 0:20:26.359 --> 0:20:30.639 broken her silence, Katie. Oh good, she said, quote. I 0:20:30.760 --> 0:20:34.439 already spoke with people who potentially will have the agency 0:20:34.600 --> 0:20:38.080 to create the change that I'm hoping comes about from 0:20:38.119 --> 0:20:40.240 not just this incident, but ones in the past that 0:20:40.320 --> 0:20:45.120 are obviously going to be coming up in the future probably. Okay, 0:20:45.160 --> 0:20:51.760 so you talk to a bunch awoke, you know, black supremacist, 0:20:51.760 --> 0:20:55.160 white hating people who convince you that, yes, we're we're 0:20:55.200 --> 0:20:58.120 working to tear down the patriarchy, blah blah blah. 0:20:58.280 --> 0:21:02.600 Okay, great, my god, you professional racists. 0:21:02.600 --> 0:21:06.520 And then this one more, one more note on the WNBA, 0:21:06.640 --> 0:21:10.240 just because I thought this was really good writing. All 0:21:10.280 --> 0:21:13.480 it took to collapse an entire sect of gender ideology 0:21:13.760 --> 0:21:16.280 was two alpha males declaring they identify as women and 0:21:16.400 --> 0:21:18.800 entering the WNBA draft. I'm going to show you the 0:21:18.840 --> 0:21:21.440 genius of what they did. The two ex NBA players 0:21:21.600 --> 0:21:24.200 Enis Canor Freedom and Royce White didn't argue against the 0:21:24.240 --> 0:21:27.320 absurd premise that gender is fluid. That's a losing play. 0:21:27.640 --> 0:21:29.840 The better play is to enter the illusion and destroy 0:21:29.880 --> 0:21:31.920 it by taking the illusion to the logical extreme. 0:21:32.000 --> 0:21:33.200 So that's exactly what they did. 0:21:33.520 --> 0:21:35.640 They embraced the premise that gender is fluid and took 0:21:35.640 --> 0:21:38.679 it to the logical extreme by declaring for the WNBA draft. 0:21:39.080 --> 0:21:41.280 Now they are forcing liberals to face the absurdity of 0:21:41.280 --> 0:21:44.520 their own ideology. Gender ideology's core claim is that sex 0:21:44.560 --> 0:21:48.000 is irrelevant and identity is sovereign. Trans women are women. 0:21:48.440 --> 0:21:51.879 Self ID is enough. Now the WNBA, which is in 0:21:51.960 --> 0:21:55.800 many ways a major liberal institution, faces a big dilemma. 0:21:55.960 --> 0:21:58.360 They have to either a allow the two to enter 0:21:58.359 --> 0:22:01.719 the WNBA draft and admit women is just a feeling 0:22:02.240 --> 0:22:05.080 and this is absurd and will destroy the product. It 0:22:05.119 --> 0:22:08.120 will just be another men's league, or be draw line 0:22:08.160 --> 0:22:12.239 and say they don't qualify, that concede self id is 0:22:12.359 --> 0:22:15.399 not enough and biology matters. This would be a public 0:22:15.440 --> 0:22:19.720 abandonment of the progressive doctrine. Either path burns the ideology 0:22:19.760 --> 0:22:23.080 to the ground, which is hilarious. Take notes, everyone, two 0:22:23.160 --> 0:22:26.040 dudes literally just made one of the greatest persuasion plays 0:22:26.080 --> 0:22:28.760 of the decade, which, by the way, The Armstrong and 0:22:28.800 --> 0:22:32.480 Getty Show has been calling for for years. We've been 0:22:32.520 --> 0:22:35.560 asking somebody to do this, and they have perhaps not 0:22:35.680 --> 0:22:38.680
