Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe Getty.
Speaker 2: Arm Strong and Getty and now he Armstrong and Yetty.
Speaker 1: I was importing a whole bunch of popsicle sticks for
Speaker 1: my popstickle art that I sell over the summer.
Speaker 2: It's exquisite.
Speaker 1: I had paid the incredibly high tariffs up until forty
Speaker 1: eight hours ago. Luckily the tariffs are canceled, so my
Speaker 1: popsicle stick. But then the tariffs are back on again
Speaker 1: as of yesterday. So it's a small business owner like myself.
Speaker 1: It's very difficult to plan ahead well.
Speaker 3: And I paid ninety eight dollars for one of your
Speaker 3: popsicle stick log cabins when the normal price had been
Speaker 3: eighty five dollars.
Speaker 2: So do I get that money? How does that work?
Speaker 1: It's eighty waundry eighty five dollars for a popsicle stick
Speaker 1: log gabin. I'm doing pretty well well. Again, they're absolutely exquisite.
Speaker 1: That's the good news. The bad news is California's crumbling
Speaker 1: upstood Michael not get the memo? Oh maybe we didn't
Speaker 1: tell the guy who runs the music I got it.
Speaker 1: This feature I guess frozen up again. No, no, we
Speaker 1: didn't tell the band. We forgot to talk. Boudy was
Speaker 1: in the room when we were talking. Be in the
Speaker 1: room when we're talking. Michael, that's your job. Hell yeah,
Speaker 1: here we go.
Speaker 2: Listen.
Speaker 3: We've got some really exciting audio about the Green New Deal,
Speaker 3: which is alive and well in California, and how that
Speaker 3: will affect normal people if you let this crap go
Speaker 3: too far.
Speaker 2: But let me throw this in.
Speaker 3: Just as an appetizer, just just to wet the palette.
Speaker 3: Who is Zara Billu? Zara Billou is an executive for
Speaker 3: a director of care in San Francisco, the Council on
Speaker 3: American Islamic Relations, which has been tied to many extremist
Speaker 3: groups that financed terrorism and their Islamic supremacists. And they're
Speaker 3: not to be trusted and I don't like them a bit,
Speaker 3: and I will stand by those statements. Zara Blue said
Speaker 3: Joe Biden's cancer diagnosis was God's wrath for his handling
Speaker 3: of the Israel Hamas war, and added that she's praying
Speaker 3: Biden's cancer will be as aggressive as Israel's military actions
Speaker 3: against Hamas. She also said she prays that his final
Speaker 3: dayser are painful, and that Trump is next. Here's the punchline.
Speaker 1: Miss Blue serves on California's Civil Rights board. That's right
Speaker 1: because she believes its civil rights. So if you had
Speaker 1: somebody make that sort of claim that was in any
Speaker 1: way associated with the right or Republicans, that would be
Speaker 1: a nationwide story.
Speaker 2: Correct.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And the god's wrath and aggressive stuff is something
Speaker 3: she said. I accidentally assigned the hope his final days
Speaker 3: are painful.
Speaker 2: That was somebody else who said that.
Speaker 1: The head of the NRA or I mean, you come
Speaker 1: up with lots of examples, had said something like that.
Speaker 2: It would be a national story.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, it is right up there with North Korea
Speaker 3: being on the you know, the Human Rights Council of
Speaker 3: the United Nations. It's practically hilarious. We're not so obsceen. Meanwhile,
Speaker 3: the fabulous Ashley Zavala, who works for probably the leading
Speaker 3: news station in the Sacramento, California area, the state's capital,
Speaker 3: did a really interesting and compelling report recently. You got
Speaker 3: thirty one up there, Michael, don't make me yell.
Speaker 2: At you again.
Speaker 4: We have alla, We have a crisis on our hand
Speaker 4: that may have been self created by the actions that
Speaker 4: perhaps have been taken by the state by regulators.
Speaker 5: Will Democratic assemblyment David Alvarez and others frustrated after they
Speaker 5: were swayed to approve some of the latest regulations put
Speaker 5: on the oil and gas industry.
Speaker 4: I think I also heard you say that another closure
Speaker 4: can lead to a significant increase in cost to consumers
Speaker 4: on the price of gas.
Speaker 5: Yes, sir, Gunda Toad lawmakers, California will likely need to
Speaker 5: have oil imported from other parts of the world by
Speaker 5: ships some boys.
Speaker 6: So we really have only one choice there today, which
Speaker 6: is increasing imports based on a work right now that
Speaker 6: will be very tight for the North.
Speaker 7: Increase in imports, which means that you have more vessels.
Speaker 7: Who in what I've heard also, if you increase the
Speaker 7: vessels that that means more emissions because we don't control
Speaker 7: those vessels and emissions in which they bring.
Speaker 2: Is that correct?
Speaker 5: But you are correct that additional marine traffic would implicate
Speaker 5: air quality issues beyond state waters that we do not regulate.
Speaker 1: So just in case you didn't follow this, that's Democrats saying, uh,
Speaker 1: let me get this straight. Gavin Newsom and our supermajority
Speaker 1: have overtaxed and overregulated oil companies out of the state,
Speaker 1: and so now we have to import oil on a
Speaker 1: ship that will do more environmental damage than if we
Speaker 1: had left the oil companies here in California, and the
Speaker 1: price of gas is going to go up a ton.
Speaker 3: And frequently we'll import that oil or gas from countries
Speaker 3: that don't give a crap about the environment and create
Speaker 3: way more environmental.
Speaker 2: Chaos than the old sources.
Speaker 1: That's right, all so we can act like where we
Speaker 1: care about the environment. So we again we made gas
Speaker 1: more expensive and the environment worse. Just to want to
Speaker 1: make sure I understand that. That's Democrats saying that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, the environmental left, the far left would say
Speaker 3: that's a win.
Speaker 2: We want to drive you out of your company.
Speaker 1: That's what you got to remember, and that's why we
Speaker 1: always pointed out there is a big chunk of that crowd.
Speaker 1: They want gas to go to ten dollars a gallon,
Speaker 1: so that you have to ride a bike or carpool
Speaker 1: or buy an electric car finally, or in any of
Speaker 1: those other things as long as you don't drive a
Speaker 1: gas park car. So they say that is good news.
Speaker 1: The normal Democrats don't want gas prices to be high.
Speaker 1: Because they know that's bad for everybody in the state.
Speaker 3: Right, and the environmental extremists also, in a style similar
Speaker 3: to Hamas loving having some good footage of a dead
Speaker 3: Palestinian child or whatever, the environmental left loves hearing oil
Speaker 3: and burning gas in California is an environmental disaster. So
Speaker 3: they're probably more than happy to engage in this hypocrisy
Speaker 3: because it makes the problem works quote unquote, the point
Speaker 3: being California's crumbling metal guy.
Speaker 2: Would you agree? I think you would, Yes, you would.
Speaker 2: Three four.
Speaker 3: Moving along the pods company out with the list of
Speaker 3: twenty cities with the highest number of move outs. Congratulations
Speaker 3: to cal Unicornia. Oh and I meant during the whole
Speaker 3: environmental discussion, that's why we call it cal Unicorne. It's
Speaker 3: where realism goes to die. You can constantly demand stricter
Speaker 3: gun laws, but then if somebody uses a gun in
Speaker 3: a crime, you let them loose, saying you know they're
Speaker 3: the victim here of white supremacy or something. Or you
Speaker 3: destroy the environment to save the environment. Anyway, let's see
Speaker 3: your top twenty cities with the highest number of move outs.
Speaker 3: Congratulations Bakersfield, Fresno, Stockton, Modesto, Santa Barbara counting up now
Speaker 3: San Diego at number five, the San Francisco Bay Area
Speaker 3: at number two, and La number one.
Speaker 2: Metro areas with.
Speaker 3: The highest moveouts according to the pods people seven Top
Speaker 3: twenty Metal guy playing a medley of the.
Speaker 2: Seven of the top twenty in the entire country. Yes. Wow,
Speaker 2: that's the biggest state in the Union by.
Speaker 3: Far, so it expects some distant I'm trying to be fair.
Speaker 2: Fairness is my home.
Speaker 1: At the same time, two years ago, California had never
Speaker 1: shrunken population.
Speaker 3: Now it has several years in a row, except balanced
Speaker 3: by illegal immigration. So the total population grew slightly last year,
Speaker 3: but it was almost entirely immigration.
Speaker 2: That doesn't count. Yeah, why would you leave La? Maybe?
Speaker 1: This chaos unfolds in downtown Las large mob vandalized the
Speaker 1: police car, train and businesses. It happened this last weekend,
Speaker 1: Saturday night. Huge mobs of people just running wild and lawless.
Speaker 2: Was there a.
Speaker 1: Sports victory or a George Floyd saying No, it's a
Speaker 1: bunch of people realizing, Hey, we're all out here, and
Speaker 1: if we're all lawless, nobody can do anything about it.
Speaker 2: So they took over the streets.
Speaker 3: Many watching and recording on their cell phones, spray painting, punching, kicking,
Speaker 3: defacing police cars with cops in it, utterly unfearful of
Speaker 3: the law.
Speaker 1: Just I was in a business yesterday and somebody walked
Speaker 1: in and said, hey, do you have a restroom? They said, no,
Speaker 1: we don't have a public restroom. And I wanted to
Speaker 1: do my screed for that guy who walked out and
Speaker 1: the person who worked there. Do you know why there's
Speaker 1: not a public restroom here? Because they have so many
Speaker 1: homeless people that you've allowed in this town that it
Speaker 1: became such a problem you decided to just close the restroom.
Speaker 1: Twenty years ago every business. Fifteen years ago, every business
Speaker 1: had a public restroom, but now nobody does because of
Speaker 1: the homeless, and everybody just accepts It's why why does
Speaker 1: everybody accept this? But I didn't do my usual rant
Speaker 1: asterisk note I have begged Jack to use the term
Speaker 1: transient drug addict instead of the homeless, because it's more
Speaker 1: to the point. That's who we have problem with. The
Speaker 1: poor old lady who had a medical bill she couldn't pay.
Speaker 1: I'm happy to help her.
Speaker 3: So anyway, moving along, a great open letter to the
Speaker 3: City of San Francisco from Richie Greenberg, who's a terrific
Speaker 3: writer and activist. San Francisco sit Hall is a cesspool
Speaker 3: of dishonesty, cowardice, and complicity orchestrating a drug crisis that's
Speaker 3: devouring our city while you are elected an appointed leaders
Speaker 3: cower behind the empty promises and half big policies and
Speaker 3: any I can't read the whole thing because it's lengthy,
Speaker 3: but he says, here's the evidence. A couple of studies
Speaker 3: just reported. Analysis new data reveals how many serious drug
Speaker 3: users at risk O overdose in San Francisco. And it
Speaker 3: isn't mere data, it's a damning indictment. Thirty seven almost
Speaker 3: thirty eight thousand San Francisco's nearly five percent of the
Speaker 3: city housed and anhaused, are confirmed hooked on drugs, eetering
Speaker 3: at death's door.
Speaker 2: Why this isn't a crisis, It's a betrayal.
Speaker 3: City Hall spinalless elite of led addiction metastasized for decades.
Speaker 3: Now we have a report by the University of California,
Speaker 3: San Francisco putting this in writing, and you're directly a
Speaker 3: part of this.
Speaker 1: I went to San Francisco for the day last week
Speaker 1: and I on Saturday for some reason, Why was I
Speaker 1: in this neighborhood or walking away? Because I couldn't park
Speaker 1: it I parked. I wasn't like staying at a hotel.
Speaker 1: I could uber around. I had to park, and I
Speaker 1: ended up parking a sketchy af neighborhood.
Speaker 2: But I was walking through.
Speaker 1: And just the number of out of their mind, asleep
Speaker 1: or leaning against the wall drug addicts, it's just stunning.
Speaker 1: You can't believe it's the United States of America.
Speaker 2: It's just shocking.
Speaker 3: Let me hit you with one more little chunk about
Speaker 3: mister Greenberg's excellent screen dwarfing the city's estimated eighty two
Speaker 3: hundred homeless. This drug addiction report exposes leadership so appallingly
Speaker 3: derelict it's practically handing out syringes with a smile.
Speaker 1: You.
Speaker 3: San Francisco's officials aren't just failing. You've been accomplices, bankrolling
Speaker 3: addiction with no strings attached, handouts and housing, watching lives
Speaker 3: collapse literally as overdoses persist. We are tired of believing you,
Speaker 3: tired of supporting you, tired of listening to rhetoric and
Speaker 3: double speak, tired of taxes upon taxes, grabbing our hard
Speaker 3: earned money in the name of compassion, dignity, and quote
Speaker 3: unquote justice. We are disgusted at your unaccountable, untraceable appropriation
Speaker 3: of our money you've been trusted to.
Speaker 2: It's outright fraud.
Speaker 3: And then you dare blame some boogeymen three thousand miles
Speaker 3: east in DC for ales actually perpetrated by you right here.
Speaker 3: Reality is each of you, individually and collectively are responsible
Speaker 3: for this unconscionable disaster. We will post this at under
Speaker 3: hot links at armstrong and geddy dot com. It is excellent.
Speaker 3: It is making an argument we've made now for decades.
Speaker 3: Who is the compassionate side? Which is the compassionate side
Speaker 3: those who ease people into death on the sidewalks by.
Speaker 1: Making it as easy as humanly possible to stay addicted
Speaker 1: to horrible drugs. You feed them, you clothe them, you
Speaker 1: give them needles in the name of compassion till they're dead,
Speaker 1: then you take them away in the body wagon.
Speaker 2: Or people like us who say no, we've got to
Speaker 2: enforce the law.
Speaker 1: We've got to save these people's lives by busting them.
Speaker 2: Who's the compassionate one?
Speaker 3: Huh? I'll let you be the judge California is crumbling.
Speaker 3: You're right, you laugh, I laugh.
Speaker 1: You are correct in pointing out that instead of referring
Speaker 1: to them as homeless, should refer to them as drug addicts,
Speaker 1: because that's what they are and that's why they're living
Speaker 1: the life that they're the living. When it is treated
Speaker 1: as a drug addiction problem as opposed to a housing problem,
Speaker 1: that's when it gets solved.
Speaker 2: And two the other thing. For the hundredth of time,
Speaker 2: we got to say.
Speaker 1: Tens of hundreds of million, hundred billions of dollars have
Speaker 1: been spent on this. That money goes somewhere, somebody gets
Speaker 1: that money. Lots and lots of people make their living
Speaker 1: off the homeless industrial complex. Absolutely true, So solving scam
Speaker 1: would ruin their jobs.
Speaker 2: Okay, a lot more on the way. Stay here.
Speaker 1: We've decided to put Michelangela in charge of setting up
Speaker 1: this clip because we're mystified and confused as to what
Speaker 1: it is.
Speaker 8: Okay, Nate Bergatzi was talking about what it would be
Speaker 8: like to fight an orangutu, but before the internet, before
Speaker 8: the Internet.
Speaker 1: Yes, I love pretty much everything Nate Bargatzi does, so
Speaker 1: I imagine I will like this, Yeah, of what significance
Speaker 1: is the development of the Internet in the field of
Speaker 1: fighting giant apes?
Speaker 2: Well, he kind of explained that, oh he does. Oh yeah, good, Well, all.
Speaker 9: Right, you could fight an orangutan out of figure. They
Speaker 9: would have an orangutan just sitting in a boxing ring
Speaker 9: and guys would pay to fight it. And I say guys,
Speaker 9: because I just can't imagine one woman ever fought this orangutan.
Speaker 2: I think you could put an orangutang.
Speaker 9: In a room with a thousand women and when they
Speaker 9: walked out, like, did anybody fight it? They could never
Speaker 9: cross their mind to fight it. But three men in
Speaker 9: that room. Two of those men will fight that orangutan.
Speaker 9: The other one would have started it going I think
Speaker 9: y'all should fight that ring.
Speaker 2: So guys get in there and the ring.
Speaker 9: In tank would just knock everybody out. Because we don't
Speaker 9: have the Internet to look up how strong's in a
Speaker 9: range attack, it's all word of mouth.
Speaker 2: Back there.
Speaker 9: You had to meet a guy to just fought in
Speaker 9: a rangutank and you're like, but the arms are skinny.
Speaker 9: He's like, I know, that's what made me get in
Speaker 9: there as well.
Speaker 1: His abilities are awesome. Yeah, he's he's brilliant. His his
Speaker 1: style is brilliant, very Mark twain ish. Yeah, I got somehow.
Speaker 1: I got by watching a lot of his YouTube stuff.
Speaker 1: I get his little short clips of all these different specials.
Speaker 1: I watch him a lot. He's freaking brilliant. But that
Speaker 1: whole topic, you know, a couple of weeks ago, is
Speaker 1: just a huge conversation of could.
Speaker 2: One hundred men beat a silver back gorilla? My thirteen
Speaker 2: year old's obsessed with this.
Speaker 1: I don't think I've come home from work one day
Speaker 1: in the last two weeks where he says, here's another reason, Dad,
Speaker 1: why the one hundred men would win.
Speaker 2: Because he's I'm big, I'm on the side of the
Speaker 2: silver back.
Speaker 1: We really have, We've had We've had to boil this
Speaker 1: down because it's an everyday conversation and I'm not exaggerating. Wow,
Speaker 1: he makes the point, and I will grant this that
Speaker 1: you have to assume the men are are motivated to
Speaker 1: fight to the death, because I'm kind of assuming. It's
Speaker 1: like Nate Bargatzi's like you're at a state fair kind
Speaker 1: of for fun thing, where my theory is the first
Speaker 1: ten guys get their arms ripped off, and then the
Speaker 1: other ninety guys say I'm out. But if you did
Speaker 1: present it, it's like to save your babies or something
Speaker 1: like that. I do think one hundred men probably could
Speaker 1: overwhelm a silver back, with some of them willing to
Speaker 1: die for the cause.
Speaker 2: And they most certainly would and they would.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, all right, But my son's big point is
Speaker 1: that they expend their energy very quickly.
Speaker 2: Most gorilla fights last like thirty seconds total. Grilla fight,
Speaker 2: gorrilla fight, Armstrong and getty.
Speaker 1: I know Mayor Pete said he wishes he could go back.
Speaker 2: In time and open the schools in twenty twenty.
Speaker 1: Dude, if you could time travel, why not go back
Speaker 1: to twenty eighteen and give thosein WU handsome gloves.
Speaker 2: That's an excellent point. That's when a gut Felt's best
Speaker 2: jokes ever a good point.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you ever started to the boy, if I
Speaker 1: could do it over again, you probably could go back
Speaker 1: significantly earlier than whatever you're talking about and do bunches
Speaker 1: of things differently.
Speaker 2: For some reason this reminded me.
Speaker 1: I just saw up on the television that freaking pompous
Speaker 1: new Harvard president speaking at the graduation yesterday.
Speaker 2: Maybe we have the audio on that.
Speaker 1: But anyway, he stood up there and did some resistant speech,
Speaker 1: We are proud of our foreign students and all the
Speaker 1: everybody cheered and everything like that, and we will be
Speaker 1: an academic freedom will be at the first one. And
Speaker 1: everybody cheered because he's standing up to Trump. Oh, they're
Speaker 1: so into academic freedom at anybody.
Speaker 2: In the meat.
Speaker 1: So they played that. That was like one of the
Speaker 1: lead stories on all the newscasts last night and this
Speaker 1: morning because it's the Harvard president standing up to Trump.
Speaker 2: Any of y'all want to mention that Harvard.
Speaker 1: Finished last last place in terms of academic freedom last
Speaker 1: year in the studies on that and their own study
Speaker 1: about anti semitism was horrific.
Speaker 2: It's rampant, is our conclusion. Yes, it's rampant. Anybody want
Speaker 2: to point that out.
Speaker 1: Well, you're playing the president of Harvard and the cheers
Speaker 1: he gets for saying how great Harvard is.
Speaker 4: God.
Speaker 3: That makes me mad. That is egregious. And I'm so
Speaker 3: glad you pointed that out. Last place in fire dot
Speaker 3: org's survey.
Speaker 2: Yeah, wow, anyway, that's stunning. Didn't mean to get off
Speaker 2: on that rant.
Speaker 1: It's a good rent worth ranting. Maybe you'll enjoy this.
Speaker 1: So Jake Tapper, you know he's got the book out.
Speaker 1: He also does a show every afternoon on CNN. He
Speaker 1: had his lowest ratings since twenty fifteen, despite the Biden
Speaker 1: book buzz that he's getting. So I'm I got to
Speaker 1: assume there was some hope that with his name being
Speaker 1: everywhere and him being on every show in the world
Speaker 1: and talking about the fact, here's Jake Tapper, host of
Speaker 1: the Jake Tapper The Lead every afternoon, the lowest ratings
Speaker 1: in a decade, and the ratings are hilariously low. The
Speaker 1: Lead with Jake Tapper averaged about a half million total
Speaker 1: viewers April twenty eight through May twenty eight, fifth, shedding
Speaker 1: a quarter of their audience from a year ago. By
Speaker 1: the way, Brett Baar in the same time slot has
Speaker 1: three point three million. MSNBC even has significantly more. When
Speaker 1: you're losing MSNBC, you're in trouble. But that's overall viewers,
Speaker 1: including a whole bunch of old people that the adversiers
Speaker 1: don't care about. In the coveted demo, that is why
Speaker 1: you get hired to be on the radio or television.
Speaker 1: Of twenty five to fifty four, he averaged ninety five
Speaker 1: thousand viewers for a nationwide television program.
Speaker 2: Right, how does he earn his money?
Speaker 1: Because I know he gets paid many millions of dollars. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know how DVRs and YouTube TV, you know,
Speaker 1: because I watch almost nothing live.
Speaker 3: I don't know how that works these days. I wonder
Speaker 3: if there's more to it than that.
Speaker 1: But the lead with Jake Tapper wasn't the only CNN
Speaker 1: offering to struggle. The network had its second worst month
Speaker 1: ever in the money demo across both total day and
Speaker 1: prime time during May, second worst month they've ever had
Speaker 1: in the advertising demo.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you seeing, it's dying. Their model of everything they
Speaker 3: do is just broken. That they're the sort of people
Speaker 3: who are in charge at the very top and throughout
Speaker 3: the organization down to the anchors and anchor ats. They
Speaker 3: all have a particular mindset and it's you know, manifest
Speaker 3: in Jake Tapper thinking that when he and Alex Thompson
Speaker 3: unleased this book, they would be hailed as truth tellers
Speaker 3: and revealers of great wisdom, and in fact they're a punchline.
Speaker 3: They are so out of touch not only with you know,
Speaker 3: the American people, but there's such an odd breed of duck,
Speaker 3: those Northeastern media elites. They just don't see life the
Speaker 3: way most of us see it. And now that there
Speaker 3: are alternatives available, people are flocking to the alternatives.
Speaker 1: So one of the headlines today is that there is
Speaker 1: a ceasefire agreement that the US is brokeered.
Speaker 2: Hopefully between Israel Hamas.
Speaker 1: Egypt is on board with the United States and are
Speaker 1: everybody's signed up onto it except for Hamas, who is
Speaker 1: not happy with the possible cease fire deal, which has
Speaker 1: been the case since the whole damn thing started, because
Speaker 1: they don't actually want to give the hostages back for
Speaker 1: one thing. Then you add the other day when Israel
Speaker 1: was dropping off a bunch of food there to the
Speaker 1: starven Palestinians, and a whole bunch of shots rang out,
Speaker 1: and nobody sure still whether it was Hamas shooting or
Speaker 1: Israeli soldiers or other Palestinians or whoever.
Speaker 2: So that's still a mess. Now.
Speaker 1: You might have seen the headlines a week ago where
Speaker 1: various Hamas adjacent news organizations were saying, I forget what
Speaker 1: the number was, it was like four thousand babies were
Speaker 1: going to die in the next forty eight hours. It
Speaker 1: was some horrific number. Yeah, did that ever happen or not?
Speaker 1: I assumed that that was. It was being taken as
Speaker 1: fact from a very sketchy organization, but reprinted everywhere.
Speaker 2: Anyway.
Speaker 1: I use all that as a setup to this the
Speaker 1: one American hostage that it was really least fairly recently.
Speaker 1: And he gives all the credit to Trump. He says
Speaker 1: he would not have gotten out if Trump had been
Speaker 1: elected president, which I'm sure Trump appreciated that. He was
Speaker 1: talking about how he was fed. He said, I remember
Speaker 1: walking by a room in the tunnel seeing a big
Speaker 1: amount of feud, huge food, huge amounts of food. I
Speaker 1: was being starved, There's no questions about it. For the
Speaker 1: majority of his five hundred and five days in captivity. Man,
Speaker 1: that's a long time when you got to think at
Speaker 1: any time they might come a rape you to death,
Speaker 1: cut your head off, whatever. Five hundred and five days
Speaker 1: he survived on one biscuit and salty water. That's all
Speaker 1: he had every day, salty water and one biscuit. He
Speaker 1: lost over fifty pounds. They were starving a week in him,
Speaker 1: so he couldn't yeah escape or die. Yeah, yep, Hey,
Speaker 1: getting back a little bit to something you said about
Speaker 1: the so called peace process and the peace deal that
Speaker 1: I think you expressed hope it will go nowhere.
Speaker 2: It's a red herring.
Speaker 3: There is no chance that will result in anything significant.
Speaker 3: Steve Whitkoff is wasting his time. Hamas is negotiating circles
Speaker 3: around him, and none of the parties are interested. This
Speaker 3: is all silly for domestic consumption.
Speaker 1: We wait couple of headlines for God, We've got two
Speaker 1: of those going on right, Russia and Ukraine and Israel
Speaker 1: Hamass articular don't actually exist.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, they're both. They're all shrades.
Speaker 3: They're they're puppet shows to amuse the domestic population in
Speaker 3: the US, I think, or something Trump wants to be
Speaker 3: seen as trying.
Speaker 2: I don't know, and I don't find puppet shows that musing.
Speaker 3: Not since I was like four, had a couple of
Speaker 3: headlines for you with Israeli in Tel Lebanon is dismantling
Speaker 3: Hesbola in the South. The progress is helping keep a
Speaker 3: fragile ceasefire intact. The question is how far will it go?
Speaker 3: If you're not familiar with the situation. Lebanon, Hezbola is
Speaker 3: a major political party with an army in Beirut.
Speaker 2: In Lebanon, i should say, and it.
Speaker 3: Has coexisted extremely uneasily with the Lebanese government.
Speaker 2: And now thanks to.
Speaker 1: Israel's help those nasty, nasty Zionist Jews, the Lebanese government
Speaker 1: is getting close to having a monopoly on heavy arms,
Speaker 1: being having the only army in their own country. Lebanon
Speaker 1: could become a peaceful, prosperous country with Israel's help. And
Speaker 1: they are squarely, if quietly, in the camp of helping
Speaker 1: Israel because they know who's a.
Speaker 2: Force for good.
Speaker 3: Israel is the Islamists in their region, for the lives
Speaker 3: of their people.
Speaker 1: Lebanon, which was once one of the great fun countries
Speaker 1: in the world. And one of my cancer doctors was
Speaker 1: from Lebanon. He had he had left there, his parents
Speaker 1: were still there, and he talked about how great it
Speaker 1: was many many years ago a route the Paris of
Speaker 1: the Levanter.
Speaker 2: I can't remain with him, could be again soon.
Speaker 3: Yeah, here's another headline, just to give you a little perspective.
Speaker 2: This is dateline tel Aviv.
Speaker 1: Netnah Who's Gaza war plan shows lack of serious intent
Speaker 1: to defeat Hamas says coalition lawmakers understand as we're hearing
Speaker 1: the American media and Locksteps saying we've got to have
Speaker 1: a peace plant, We've got to have a ceasefire.
Speaker 2: Israel's got to stop.
Speaker 3: Meanwhile, in Israel, seven lawmakers from Netanyah, who's ruling coalition,
Speaker 3: say the war plan does not reflect a serious intent
Speaker 3: to defeat Hamas and achieve victory. You're not serious enough
Speaker 3: about defeating Hamas yet, they're telling Net and Yahoo. Now,
Speaker 3: certainly there are peace nicks in Israel, leftists who believe
Speaker 3: the two state solution can work, that we can live
Speaker 3: side by side with the Palestinian slash Hamas.
Speaker 2: I think they're.
Speaker 3: Insane, but they get to express themselves. It's their country,
Speaker 3: so understand. Over in Israel, there are plenty of people
Speaker 3: saying we're not being tough enough on Hamas. And finally,
Speaker 3: this headline new US plan to pause Gaza war draws
Speaker 3: Hamas criticism. This is what Jack was talking about. Hamas
Speaker 3: is rejecting this cease fire which Israel has agreed to,
Speaker 3: because Hamas says it doesn't end the war, to which
Speaker 3: Israel says, no, we're not going to end the war
Speaker 3: until you're completely defeated. There is no peace process. This
Speaker 3: is a joke. Can we stop? I've said this many times.
Speaker 3: I have not been budged an inch from this. We
Speaker 3: are watching, for one of the first times ever a
Speaker 3: country go for what every country has gone for in
Speaker 3: warfare practically from the beginning of time.
Speaker 2: That's total victory.
Speaker 3: We've just never seen it in the internet video age
Speaker 3: in the developed world. It's happening in Africa like crazy
Speaker 3: right now, but nobody's paying any attention in Yemen.
Speaker 2: Please more Arabs.
Speaker 1: Muslims have been slaughtered in Yemen and starved and tortured
Speaker 1: than in.
Speaker 2: Gaza by multiples.
Speaker 3: But new college students are demonstrating on their behalf because
Speaker 3: it's Muslims killing Muslims. It's only when the evil Jew
Speaker 3: is involved that the college students get up in arms.
Speaker 3: It's incredibly revealing. Anyway, Israel's going to defeat Hamas completely.
Speaker 3: It's going to be extremely ugly to watch, in the
Speaker 3: way that every total victory has been extremely ugly in
Speaker 3: the history of mankind.
Speaker 1: So, as Mark Apperton said on his show this morning,
Speaker 1: the New York Times seems to be hell bent on
Speaker 1: driving a wedge between Elon Musk and Donald Trump as
Speaker 1: they just endlessly write stories and exaggerate. Everybody in the
Speaker 1: news exaggerated the whole. Elon Musk very unhappy with the
Speaker 1: Trump Administration's Big Beautiful Bill.
Speaker 2: He played the.
Speaker 1: Tape for you heard it. He laughs as well, he
Speaker 1: can be big or beautiful, but he can be both.
Speaker 1: That's your He's very angry.
Speaker 3: He'd rather under the bill was undermining you know, Doge's work.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but big deal.
Speaker 3: Well, and then Trump said, yeah, bill like this. You
Speaker 3: get some stuff you love, some stuff you don't love. Yeah,
Speaker 3: there's your big conflict anyway. Uh New York Times with
Speaker 3: a is this true or not?
Speaker 1: Elon Musk's drug use, according to people who have seen it,
Speaker 1: I've got a rundown for you. It's kind of interesting.
Speaker 1: Among other things, we can get to stay tuned.
Speaker 6: YETI this week Hailey Bieber's beauty brand road It's got
Speaker 6: a major glow up with a billion dollar deal with
Speaker 6: Elf Beauty, a cosmetics giant Wiley available at your nearest
Speaker 6: drug store. She's not the only celebrity capitalizing on the
Speaker 6: booming beauty industry, a global market estimated to.
Speaker 2: Be worth over seven hundred billion dollars.
Speaker 6: In the next three years, Riata, Lady Gaga, and Selena
Speaker 6: Gomez all launched successful beauty lines, using their star power
Speaker 6: to propel their brands.
Speaker 1: You too could be a billionaire if you're insanely beautiful
Speaker 1: and married to a very famous person. Got to quit
Speaker 1: calling Hailey Bieber Justin Bieber's wife and start calling Justin
Speaker 1: Bieber Hailey Bieber's husband, because she is now the breadwinner.
Speaker 2: He's broke. If you've been following that story, she just
Speaker 2: signed me.
Speaker 1: She just signed a billion dollar deal billion with a Bee,
Speaker 1: of which she gets an eight hundred million dollar chunk
Speaker 1: right off the bat.
Speaker 2: Was she known for something? Was she a starlet or
Speaker 2: something before she and Justin hooked?
Speaker 1: No, not that I sit all model, I think, But like,
Speaker 1: you wouldn't have known who she was until she married
Speaker 1: Justin Bieber.
Speaker 2: But yeah, so she's the breadwinner now. Interesting.
Speaker 1: They should have kids, They should have really spectacularly. You
Speaker 1: can't even look at them. They're so good looking kids. Yes, blind,
Speaker 1: you three people completely blind from looking at Bieber's kids.
Speaker 1: You never know if something's true just because it's in
Speaker 1: the New York Times. This was passed along by Noah
Speaker 1: Rothman of National Review though, so he not usually a
Speaker 1: kind of guy that's.
Speaker 2: Oh, passing along crap, agreed. Yeah.
Speaker 1: New York Times big story about Elon Musk. They had
Speaker 1: five reporters on it the day before last included this.
Speaker 1: Mister Musk's drug consumption went well beyond occasional use. He
Speaker 1: told people he was taking so much ketamine. That's the
Speaker 1: stuff that killed the chandler right maybe yeah, caused him
Speaker 1: to drown. He told people he was taking so much ketamine,
Speaker 1: a powerful anesthetic, that it was affecting his bladder, a
Speaker 1: known effective chronic use. He took ecstasy and psychedelic mushrooms,
Speaker 1: and he traveled with a daily medication box that held
Speaker 1: about twenty pills, including ones with the markings of the
Speaker 1: stimulant adderall according to a photo of the box and people.
Speaker 3: Who have seen it, I could I absolutely see him
Speaker 3: take an adderall which is you know, is for ADHD.
Speaker 1: You got thirteen kids under the age of ten, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I need something.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like they're running around this house and he's tending them.
Speaker 2: He's trying to get.
Speaker 1: Him ready for school, packing lunches, gotta drop them off.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, little laterall with sure helpt mean hilarious.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you think you think.
Speaker 1: He's able to do all this rocket stuff and dose
Speaker 1: stuff and run Tesla and everything. Being eye on mushrooms
Speaker 1: and ketamine. It would not surprise me.
Speaker 3: It does not surprise me in the least to hear
Speaker 3: that a guy with a brain like his self medicates
Speaker 3: in various ways. I'm not shocked to hear that at all.
Speaker 3: I hope I can't even imagine what it's like in
Speaker 3: his brain. I hope it's not a situation that well,
Speaker 3: it certainly could get out of control see Chandler being
Speaker 3: But I hope it doesn't get out of control. Yeah,
Speaker 3: because me, you know, I really want to see what
Speaker 3: he can pull off. Ian Bremer who hated Doge, but
Speaker 3: I was reading one of his tweets yesterday and he said,
Speaker 3: I'm glad to see Elon going back into the private sector.
Speaker 3: For anybody doesn't like Elon Musk, you can't deny that
Speaker 3: he's one of the greatest entrepreneurs in the history of
Speaker 3: the world.
Speaker 1: Sure, he absolutely is. And he's only fifty three or
Speaker 1: whatever he is. He's got a long way to go
Speaker 1: if he doesn't die Aketemy all right, Yeah, I think
Speaker 1: he's half nuts. I also think he is a combination
Speaker 1: of Galileo and JD. Rockefeller or Andrew Carnegie or somebody
Speaker 1: like that. Is an amazing human being. But it wouldn't
Speaker 1: shock me if he's self medicated. He might be closer
Speaker 1: to like a Leonardo da Vinci. I don't know, but
Speaker 1: he is absolutely something. Yeah, I was going to ask
Speaker 1: you about.
Speaker 2: Oh, you brought this up the other day.
Speaker 1: I think the new Wes Anderson film that's out called
Speaker 1: The Phoenician Scheme. If you haven't seen the trailer, the
Speaker 1: trailer looks really like, uh compelling, It's got like every
Speaker 1: movie star you've ever heard of in your.
Speaker 2: Life in it.
Speaker 3: But cast is insane, artsy. People love them or hate him.
Speaker 3: They love Wes Anderson, Anderson being in his movies. Some
Speaker 3: if you love Wes Anderson, it's like you know certain
Speaker 3: bands that either love them or you don't. I can't
Speaker 3: love his movies enough. The Hotel Budapest, you know, Moonlight, Serenade,
Speaker 3: Rushmore famously, which is breakthrough God.
Speaker 1: I love Rushmore. Yeah, what's the one with Gene Hackman?
Speaker 1: That one got mentioned a lot when Gene Hackman died
Speaker 1: a little while back. Oh, the Royal Tenant Moms. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: what a kooky movie. But anyway, it's in theaters. It
Speaker 1: seems like, because they're always so visually striking, that I
Speaker 1: might like to see this in the theater.
Speaker 2: But I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't see myself going to a movie by myself
Speaker 1: and sitting there.
Speaker 3: So I think I've come up with a perfect metaphor
Speaker 3: for AI.
Speaker 1: I don't want to rush through it though. We've got
Speaker 1: to great report on.
Speaker 3: Hey, this will leave the Rusher in an era of
Speaker 3: peace and prosperity, or we'll all be dead. So plan accordingly, AI.
Speaker 2: Where are we to kick off next hour?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it might happen within the next two years, so
Speaker 1: that's nice. If you miss a segment, gets the podcast
