WEBVTT - You're Very Beard Focused Today... 0:00:09.320 --> 0:00:14.640 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:14.680 --> 0:00:16.400 Washington Broadcast Center. 0:00:16.280 --> 0:00:20.919 Jack Armstrong and Joe, Katty Armstrong and Petty and he 0:00:23.840 --> 0:00:24.760 arms wrong. 0:00:31.200 --> 0:00:35.199 To live What Why from Studio c Sea's in your 0:00:35.520 --> 0:00:37.920 a dimly lit room deepen from the bowels of the 0:00:38.000 --> 0:00:43.240 Armstrong and Getting communications compound fortified by titanium walls. 0:00:43.240 --> 0:00:45.080 And today we are toiling under. 0:00:44.920 --> 0:00:50.960 The title of the show the Straits of Horror Moves. Okay, 0:00:51.360 --> 0:00:54.280 was answering your friend's question about these traits, The Strait 0:00:54.360 --> 0:01:01.560 of Horror moves. Apple whose AI is an embarrassment wrote 0:01:01.600 --> 0:01:06.759 it as the Straits of Horror Moves not bad today, 0:01:07.040 --> 0:01:09.600 That's only one of the most discussed things in the 0:01:09.680 --> 0:01:12.560 news today. And then it had the wrong form of 0:01:12.640 --> 0:01:15.800 root when I said shipping route, but keep working on 0:01:15.840 --> 0:01:18.520 a coopertino the other alternate title to win or not 0:01:18.640 --> 0:01:18.959 to win? 0:01:19.120 --> 0:01:22.360 That is the question. We were making that point yesterday 0:01:22.360 --> 0:01:22.880 about AI. 0:01:23.040 --> 0:01:24.920 And I don't know if this has anything to do 0:01:25.000 --> 0:01:27.720 with anything, but I gotta believe if AI is going 0:01:27.800 --> 0:01:31.000 to take all our jobs, you'd be able to make texting. 0:01:31.080 --> 0:01:35.520 Figure out that if you're talking about shipping routes, you 0:01:35.560 --> 0:01:39.960 wouldn't use root. I mean, that's like something a second 0:01:40.040 --> 0:01:42.399 grader could figure out. So why can't AI do that? 0:01:43.080 --> 0:01:45.320 I really don't does it if everybody, like many of 0:01:45.360 --> 0:01:49.640 our smart Silicon Valley listeners, know, if there's any relationship 0:01:49.640 --> 0:01:51.800 between those things, Maybe there's not. Maybe they just don't 0:01:51.840 --> 0:01:56.440 care about the fixing that while they're working on coding 0:01:56.520 --> 0:01:56.919 or something. 0:01:56.920 --> 0:01:57.360 I don't know. 0:01:57.680 --> 0:02:00.000 Yeah, I'm so mystified and flabbergasted by the whole thing. 0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:04.600 I can't even imagine anyway, but to the things you 0:02:04.600 --> 0:02:06.840 were talking about there. So it was a heck of 0:02:06.840 --> 0:02:08.839 a thing middle of the day yesterday West Coast time, 0:02:08.880 --> 0:02:12.840 because I followed the Open Source Intelligence thing on Twitter 0:02:12.919 --> 0:02:16.480 on a fairly regular basis, and they had a bulletin 0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:22.000 report Iran attempting to mine the Straits of Horror Moves 0:02:22.600 --> 0:02:25.000 and that was a giant headline. I mean, holy crap, 0:02:25.520 --> 0:02:27.480 you know, because we've been talking for days about keeping 0:02:27.520 --> 0:02:30.079 that open, and then the French had announced that they 0:02:30.080 --> 0:02:33.000 were willing to send some of their ships there to 0:02:33.240 --> 0:02:36.639 escort oil tankers through there, and blah blah blah blah blah. 0:02:36.680 --> 0:02:38.560 So that Iran's going to mine the thing. Then, like 0:02:38.840 --> 0:02:43.400 fifteen minutes later, the open source intelligence headline was, never mind, 0:02:44.680 --> 0:02:49.200 the US military has bombed sixteen of those mining ships 0:02:49.240 --> 0:02:53.200 and they're sunk. Allue them to the pleasant coastal town 0:02:53.240 --> 0:02:57.400 of Smith. Areens that didn't last long, meaning things that 0:02:57.440 --> 0:03:00.440 didn't last long. You follow the whole Secretary of Energy 0:03:00.480 --> 0:03:04.000 tweet thing, the tweet that cost hundreds of millions of dollars. 0:03:04.040 --> 0:03:04.960 No, I don't know this story. 0:03:05.320 --> 0:03:08.079 Yeah, the second n who I think is doing a 0:03:08.200 --> 0:03:12.200 terrific job, tweeted that the picture of a warship next 0:03:12.240 --> 0:03:15.040 to a tanker, the US is escorting tankers through the 0:03:15.040 --> 0:03:19.880 straits of hor moves, and oil markets plunged because the 0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:21.880 futures market, it's really a cool thing in the free market. 0:03:21.919 --> 0:03:24.240 To talk about it later. But anyway, so everybody thought, oh, 0:03:24.320 --> 0:03:26.000 thank god, all right, the traits of horror moves are cool. 0:03:26.040 --> 0:03:27.600 Now we're gonna be able to ship oil just fine, 0:03:27.600 --> 0:03:29.440 all right, thank god for the US blah blah blah. 0:03:29.440 --> 0:03:31.919 And then like a few minutes later, Katie, I know, 0:03:32.000 --> 0:03:33.880 you know this story was five to ten minutes later. 0:03:34.320 --> 0:03:37.360 It was probably five minutes. Yeah, it all of a sudden, 0:03:37.400 --> 0:03:41.080 it was taken down, and the oil markets are like, uh, why. 0:03:40.880 --> 0:03:43.440 Did you take that down? Really? 0:03:44.000 --> 0:03:46.840 And the price is shot back up again, and companies 0:03:46.880 --> 0:03:50.040 that had lost and bought a bunch of oil at 0:03:50.040 --> 0:03:52.360 that price, and then that price and hundreds of millions 0:03:52.360 --> 0:03:56.600 of dollars traded hands, and the Energy Department said, eh, 0:03:56.640 --> 0:04:00.160 a staffer miscaptioned photograph. 0:03:59.680 --> 0:04:02.400 But we've correct. Wow. So that sort of thing has 0:04:02.440 --> 0:04:03.720 happened a number of times. 0:04:03.760 --> 0:04:07.680 And I don't have the slightest reason to believe that 0:04:07.680 --> 0:04:10.800 there's any malfeasance here other than maybe shouldn't have posted 0:04:10.840 --> 0:04:14.080 a picture. But how easy would it be to make 0:04:14.160 --> 0:04:17.960 millions of dollars by jerking around the stock market like 0:04:17.960 --> 0:04:18.480 that on purpose? 0:04:18.520 --> 0:04:20.599 If you knew you were going to do it? Yeah, 0:04:20.640 --> 0:04:21.039 that's funny. 0:04:21.080 --> 0:04:23.279 I hadn't even thought in terms of malfeasans, But my god, 0:04:23.320 --> 0:04:25.600 that would be an easy way to make just so. 0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:27.159 Easy gobs of money. 0:04:27.240 --> 0:04:29.120 Yeah, enough that you never have to worry about making 0:04:29.160 --> 0:04:31.280 money ever again in your life. You could make in 0:04:31.320 --> 0:04:33.880 like five and the money I'm looking for you can 0:04:33.960 --> 0:04:36.520 make in like five minutes with that sort of a tweet. 0:04:36.960 --> 0:04:37.720 The big score. 0:04:38.080 --> 0:04:40.160 So they didn't get to lay their minds across the 0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:42.400 strait of Horror Moves, which at its narrowest point is 0:04:42.440 --> 0:04:48.760 only twenty miles from Iran. But Iran did hit three 0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:52.960 ships this morning, Yeah, trying to sail through the straight 0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:56.760 to Horror Moves, and attacked Dubai International Airport, which we've 0:04:56.760 --> 0:04:58.159 all learned in the last couple of weeks is the 0:04:58.160 --> 0:04:59.480 busiest airport in the world. 0:04:59.520 --> 0:05:01.760 Did not know that, Yeah, unbelievable. 0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:04.279 So I happen to be reading about the Straits, the 0:05:04.400 --> 0:05:08.040 Strait of Horror Moves today, and indeed, as Jack indicated, 0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:11.480 it's just under twenty one miles wide at its narrowest point. 0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:15.280 But interestingly, because of the seafloor and shipping roots and 0:05:15.320 --> 0:05:18.359 blah blah blah, you've got to pass within ten miles 0:05:18.440 --> 0:05:22.200 of Iran's coast as you squeeze by, So it is 0:05:22.520 --> 0:05:23.440 it's an easy shot. 0:05:25.440 --> 0:05:25.840 Well, and. 0:05:27.640 --> 0:05:30.680 So I don't know anything about this. Maybe we should 0:05:30.720 --> 0:05:32.599 have Mike Lines on about this or something like that. 0:05:32.720 --> 0:05:36.560 I would love to understand, first of all, like we've 0:05:36.640 --> 0:05:40.839 hit I hear different numbers now eight ten thousand targets 0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:41.800 between US and Israel. 0:05:42.560 --> 0:05:43.680 What are all those targets? 0:05:43.800 --> 0:05:46.520 I mean, how are there even ten thousand targets to hit. 0:05:46.600 --> 0:05:48.560 That's kind of surprising to me as a layman. I 0:05:48.600 --> 0:05:50.560 can't imagine there are ten thousand things to hit. I 0:05:50.560 --> 0:05:52.960 realized it's a big country, but ten thousand is all 0:05:53.160 --> 0:05:56.120 large number. And then with the fact that we've hit 0:05:56.160 --> 0:05:59.960 ten thousand targets, how are they not all the stuff 0:06:00.640 --> 0:06:02.960 that would fire rockets into the straight of horror moves? 0:06:03.000 --> 0:06:05.400 Haven't we How have we not obliterated every bit of 0:06:05.440 --> 0:06:08.479 that Since they have no air defenses, there must be 0:06:08.480 --> 0:06:11.640 as they got a missile launcher hidden under every camel. 0:06:11.760 --> 0:06:14.239 I've got to assume there must be a reason. Obviously, 0:06:14.279 --> 0:06:16.279 I'm not trying to claim any incombitants or anything, but 0:06:16.279 --> 0:06:18.279 it's just surprising to me if we've hit that many 0:06:18.279 --> 0:06:21.719 targets with that being such a high priority obviously for 0:06:21.760 --> 0:06:24.400 the President of the United States, so the entire world, 0:06:24.560 --> 0:06:27.400 the entire well, yeah, but the President the United States 0:06:27.520 --> 0:06:30.080 kind of calm the shots on this whole day. Uh, 0:06:30.480 --> 0:06:32.800 since that's such a high priority, I'm surprised we haven't 0:06:32.839 --> 0:06:36.960 just like obliterated everything They've got to try to shoot 0:06:36.960 --> 0:06:40.160 at the straight or her moves on the other side 0:06:40.160 --> 0:06:43.880 of the equation. The weird beards, they understand that those 0:06:43.960 --> 0:06:47.880 missile launchers are their leverage, and so they have worked 0:06:48.000 --> 0:06:51.400 very very hard to disperse them and hide them, et cetera. 0:06:51.640 --> 0:06:52.880 The weird beards. 0:06:53.080 --> 0:07:00.440 Yes, with all due respect, I wonder because that one 0:07:00.480 --> 0:07:02.920 of our alternate titles was to win or not to win? 0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:05.279 That is the question. And what would victory look like? 0:07:05.320 --> 0:07:05.720 What are the. 0:07:05.680 --> 0:07:09.880 Various levels of quote unquote victory that would be acceptable 0:07:09.920 --> 0:07:13.120 to the Orange one. And it's a really interesting question, 0:07:13.160 --> 0:07:15.200 which we'll be digging into in a little bit. But 0:07:15.240 --> 0:07:22.040 I find myself wondering whether since the IRGC, the Revolutionary Guard, 0:07:22.080 --> 0:07:24.760 they appear to be really pulling the strings at this point, 0:07:24.760 --> 0:07:28.560 and they are pretty potent force still, you know, fewer 0:07:28.560 --> 0:07:31.280 and fewer large arms, but hundreds of thousands of guys. 0:07:31.160 --> 0:07:33.240 With small and medium arms. 0:07:34.160 --> 0:07:38.560 I wonder if we are pummeling their business interests to 0:07:38.640 --> 0:07:41.040 get them to come to the table in a serious way, 0:07:41.240 --> 0:07:45.680 because you remember, you must remember they're a they're an 0:07:45.800 --> 0:07:51.320 army and a syndicate and a corporation. As far as 0:07:51.320 --> 0:07:53.800 the coverage of this, I got a clipper going to play. Later, 0:07:54.240 --> 0:07:56.600 Mark Alprin was doing his newscast in the afternoon and 0:07:56.640 --> 0:08:01.000 talking about how for the media he is troubled that 0:08:01.360 --> 0:08:06.640 you've either got on Fox and Fox adjacent sort of 0:08:06.640 --> 0:08:12.120 media unquestioning support of this, Like there's no skepticism about 0:08:12.360 --> 0:08:13.600 you know, how's this going to end? 0:08:13.680 --> 0:08:14.400 Or what about this? 0:08:14.600 --> 0:08:17.440 None of that, Whereas he said, on all the other channels, 0:08:17.720 --> 0:08:21.240 they don't seem to be rooting for our side. Yeah, 0:08:21.280 --> 0:08:24.560 and he's really troubled by one hand, no skepticism. On 0:08:24.600 --> 0:08:27.000 the other hand, they're not even rooting for our country. 0:08:27.600 --> 0:08:29.680 Wow. So that's not the best place to be in 0:08:29.720 --> 0:08:32.160 terms of media coverage. That's very troubling. 0:08:32.200 --> 0:08:34.280 If you would like something in the middle, well, A, 0:08:34.559 --> 0:08:36.679 you found it, and B perhaps you could recommend the 0:08:36.760 --> 0:08:39.960 Armstrong and Getty Show to your friends. They can grab 0:08:39.960 --> 0:08:43.000 it via podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand anytime they want. 0:08:44.840 --> 0:08:46.520 I take in a lot of all kinds of different 0:08:46.559 --> 0:08:51.959 kinds of media, and there is a big thread smell 0:08:52.120 --> 0:08:56.400 of not rooting for success on our side, because you 0:08:56.440 --> 0:08:58.520 know that would hand Donald Trump will win. I guess, 0:08:58.840 --> 0:09:02.120 I guess, yeah, it's Trump arrangement syndrome. But you've also 0:09:02.160 --> 0:09:04.280 got to remind yourself that we've got a handful of 0:09:04.320 --> 0:09:07.880 generations of Americans who've been taught to despise their country, 0:09:08.440 --> 0:09:10.440 that the US has been a force for evil in 0:09:10.480 --> 0:09:13.640 the world, that uniquely on Earth we had slaves for 0:09:13.679 --> 0:09:18.920 a while, a little while historically speaking, and that we're 0:09:18.920 --> 0:09:21.440 an oppressor, a colonial oppressor, and so when they see 0:09:21.520 --> 0:09:25.199 US lobbing bombs, of course they think it's evil. It's 0:09:25.240 --> 0:09:28.599 the greatest failing of the Boomers and Gen X to 0:09:28.679 --> 0:09:34.480 let the Marxists take over schools. I firmly believe that, oh, 0:09:34.520 --> 0:09:37.040 in spending the country into oblivion, those two things. Other 0:09:37.080 --> 0:09:39.880 than that, we've done great though. So I'm reading this 0:09:39.960 --> 0:09:42.680 tweet from Brit Hume and then we'll start the show officially. 0:09:42.720 --> 0:09:45.679 Brit Hume senior analyst for Fox News and a very 0:09:45.760 --> 0:09:49.640 very straight shooter. So it seems that not only is 0:09:49.640 --> 0:09:52.760 the strait of horror moves not closed, it is actually 0:09:52.760 --> 0:09:58.560 accommodating more Iranian oil exports than before the war. If 0:09:58.600 --> 0:10:02.320 you're not sure what to believe, you're not alone to 0:10:02.400 --> 0:10:03.520 read into that story. 0:10:03.679 --> 0:10:03.880 More. 0:10:04.120 --> 0:10:08.480 I'm making marine face exports of oil than before the war. 0:10:09.240 --> 0:10:10.439 How are they pulling that off? 0:10:10.720 --> 0:10:12.959 What the hell? I I don't have to look into that. 0:10:13.640 --> 0:10:15.880 You can blow the beard off a mulla, but we can't. 0:10:16.280 --> 0:10:18.840 You know, take out an Iranian oil tanker. What the 0:10:18.840 --> 0:10:22.760 hell are very Beard focused today? 0:10:22.800 --> 0:10:27.720 And the shorthand I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe Getty on this. 0:10:27.800 --> 0:10:30.480 It is Wednesday, March eleventh. 0:10:30.240 --> 0:10:32.160 Or twenty twenty six, where I'm strung and getting we 0:10:32.200 --> 0:10:35.120 approved of this program on the old Patriot missile shave. 0:10:35.160 --> 0:10:37.680 All right, here we go officially according to FCC rules 0:10:37.679 --> 0:10:38.880 and regulations at mark. 0:10:39.160 --> 0:10:42.680 Yesterday on the call with the President, the Russians said 0:10:42.679 --> 0:10:43.880 that they have not been sharing. 0:10:43.960 --> 0:10:45.000 That's that's what they. 0:10:44.880 --> 0:10:48.520 Said, so, you know, we can take them at their word. 0:10:48.559 --> 0:10:55.000 But they did say that. And yesterday morning and yesterday morning, independently, 0:10:56.120 --> 0:10:59.520 Jared and I had a call with Ushakov who reiterated 0:10:59.840 --> 0:11:04.240 the same So I I, you know, that's a better 0:11:04.320 --> 0:11:07.440 question for the intel people. But let's hope that they're 0:11:07.440 --> 0:11:08.000 not sharing. 0:11:08.200 --> 0:11:13.560 Yeah, let's hope that that's mister Wikoff, the lead negotiator 0:11:13.640 --> 0:11:18.400 on everything and the Trump administration, on the story that 0:11:19.120 --> 0:11:22.320 Russia is sharing intelligence with Iran to give them targets 0:11:22.320 --> 0:11:25.800 to try to hit our troops, which obviously would be really, 0:11:25.840 --> 0:11:29.640 really bad, and Witkoff says, well, I hope they're not. 0:11:29.800 --> 0:11:31.320 They say they're not I'm going to take them at 0:11:31.360 --> 0:11:34.839 their word that they're not you're taking Vladimir Putin at 0:11:34.880 --> 0:11:39.080 his word. Well that's cute. Yeah, I don't know. I 0:11:39.080 --> 0:11:42.000 think you'd like to have that answer back. But yeah, yeah, 0:11:42.120 --> 0:11:46.040 you're probably right. I yeah, don't like that story. Any who, 0:11:48.280 --> 0:11:50.560 Spicy Times got a guy that scored what, eighty three 0:11:50.559 --> 0:11:52.480 points in the NBA last night. Break down some of 0:11:52.480 --> 0:11:54.800 the stats that are amazing in that second most in 0:11:54.960 --> 0:11:57.720 NBA history, Not what was the number of Michael not 0:11:57.760 --> 0:11:58.640 anybody you've ever heard of? 0:11:58.679 --> 0:12:00.320 Eighty three three. 0:12:00.360 --> 0:12:02.959 That's amazing, not anybody you've ever heard of, which is 0:12:03.040 --> 0:12:06.800 interesting because the top two record holders were Wilt Chamberlain 0:12:06.880 --> 0:12:09.640 and Kobe Bryant household names. And then this guy comes 0:12:09.640 --> 0:12:13.440 along and scores eighty three points in a game. But 0:12:13.679 --> 0:12:15.600 some of the stats behind it are amazing if you're 0:12:15.600 --> 0:12:16.360 a sports fan at all. 0:12:16.360 --> 0:12:19.559 And we'll get to that. We got Katie's were green. Hmm, 0:12:19.960 --> 0:12:20.400 I went. 0:12:20.360 --> 0:12:22.840 Poorly speaking of wanting a second chance, Let's lay down, 0:12:22.960 --> 0:12:25.439 lay down, some orange cones, some. 0:12:25.480 --> 0:12:30.280 Road flares and everything. Try to reconstruct this sentence. We've 0:12:30.280 --> 0:12:33.360 got yes, Katie, No, I'm just you can do it. 0:12:33.440 --> 0:12:39.079 Jack, I believe in it, dentures and whatnot. I should 0:12:39.080 --> 0:12:41.080 have gotten the ones that, so I bought them off 0:12:41.120 --> 0:12:43.079 the shelf, just like the small medium large instead of 0:12:43.160 --> 0:12:47.640 get old and fitted. I told you large, either go 0:12:47.679 --> 0:12:50.040 big or small. But if it goes, if I go 0:12:50.080 --> 0:12:51.679 to the small ones, I can't eat corn on the cob. 0:12:51.720 --> 0:12:53.160 If I go with the big ones, I can't eat. 0:12:53.280 --> 0:12:56.200 I can't talk. So it's problem anyway. We've got Katie 0:12:56.200 --> 0:13:03.840 Green's headlines coming up next. Oh yeah, another sports story. 0:13:03.840 --> 0:13:05.480 I don't know if Katie had this headline, but the 0:13:05.600 --> 0:13:08.920 United States lost to freaking Italy in the World Baseball 0:13:08.960 --> 0:13:11.719 Classic and we might be out of the tournament. We 0:13:11.800 --> 0:13:14.040 might be out of the tournament. Everybody who's looking for 0:13:14.320 --> 0:13:18.160 to US play in Japan for the title and and 0:13:18.240 --> 0:13:20.400 the and the manager of the team, I forget what 0:13:20.440 --> 0:13:22.840 his name was, it already anounce yesday. Well, we're basically 0:13:22.880 --> 0:13:27.240 into the final round already. And then they went down 0:13:27.320 --> 0:13:30.000 eight nothing to Italy and lost. The sports gods heard 0:13:30.040 --> 0:13:32.760 them say that. Yeah, you know, I didn't even dial 0:13:32.840 --> 0:13:34.320 up the game last night because I thought I'm not 0:13:34.320 --> 0:13:36.360 going to watch the US play Italy. Now they might 0:13:36.400 --> 0:13:39.120 be out if Mexico doesn't win. Mexico has to win 0:13:39.200 --> 0:13:43.640 over somebody today by four runs or more, which is 0:13:43.679 --> 0:13:46.240 a lot in baseball, to pull the United States into 0:13:46.280 --> 0:13:46.760 the tournament. 0:13:46.880 --> 0:13:49.040 Otherwise he's in Mexico. That's what I say. 0:13:49.880 --> 0:13:53.000 That's lord, I guess the national humiliation and in wartime. 0:13:53.080 --> 0:13:55.960 Michael, Yeah, we didn't have an expresso machine in there. Yeah, 0:13:56.040 --> 0:13:56.400 that's right. 0:13:56.400 --> 0:13:58.160 They had an express machine in the dugout. Maybe that 0:13:58.200 --> 0:14:01.240 works delicious. Hey, let's figure out who's reporting what. It's 0:14:01.240 --> 0:14:03.880 the lead story with Katie Green Katie Well, of course 0:14:03.920 --> 0:14:04.840 at the top of the headlines. 0:14:04.840 --> 0:14:09.120 As I ran NBC, inflation was steady in February before 0:14:09.160 --> 0:14:14.240 I ran, drove up gas prices. ABC, I ran launches 0:14:14.320 --> 0:14:18.880 quote most strikes yet, ships hit by unknown projectiles in 0:14:19.040 --> 0:14:23.480 straight of horror moves and CNN fake explosions, fake missiles, 0:14:23.560 --> 0:14:27.000 fake troops. AI videos and images of Iran war spread 0:14:27.080 --> 0:14:28.520 widely on social media. 0:14:28.720 --> 0:14:32.560 Wow, that's an interesting angle. I'll bet that's true. 0:14:33.000 --> 0:14:35.360 I've probably watched videos that were AI and I didn't 0:14:35.400 --> 0:14:39.520 know it was some sort of exciting headlinest I got 0:14:39.520 --> 0:14:41.880 got what by one the other day? 0:14:42.640 --> 0:14:43.160 Interesting. 0:14:43.280 --> 0:14:46.440 Yeah, the more we've seemed to have forgotten about the 0:14:46.480 --> 0:14:51.040 New York Times. Ukraine reaches a milestone finally making China 0:14:51.160 --> 0:14:52.239 free drones. 0:14:54.320 --> 0:14:57.160 What is that kind of free drones? No Chinese parts, 0:14:57.200 --> 0:15:01.280 no parts of products?

They continued to solve 0:16:10.880 --> 0:16:12.280 it after the food. 0:16:12.120 --> 0:16:16.720 Was gone, just because they enjoyed it. Yeah, well, they 0:16:16.800 --> 0:16:20.680 enjoy a puzzle. Raccoon's fascinating beast. 0:16:23.920 --> 0:16:28.840 Finally, the Babylon Bee Iran Morn's United states that it 0:16:28.880 --> 0:16:31.880 has a huge stockpile of supreme leaders. 0:16:33.320 --> 0:16:37.920 You better, you better? Where is he hiding? Where is 0:16:37.960 --> 0:16:40.960 that guy hiding? How much is he enjoying life right now? 0:16:41.000 --> 0:16:43.600 Does he feel like he's the supreme Leader and supremely 0:16:43.640 --> 0:16:46.880 in charge of anything? Well, he can't even pick up 0:16:46.920 --> 0:16:50.400 a cell phone there Allegedly it should be keeping them 0:16:50.400 --> 0:16:55.440 away from laptops or anything connected to the internet. Well, 0:16:55.640 --> 0:16:58.120 he can't really communicate. He like writing notes in passing 0:16:58.160 --> 0:17:01.880 them around. He's got to be a little twitchy. Hey, 0:17:01.880 --> 0:17:06.520 Supreme leader, startledly it should be hiding in a brothel 0:17:07.160 --> 0:17:10.440 or a house, considering his house. Yeah, yeah, he's been 0:17:10.440 --> 0:17:14.760 wounded in the legs too, apparently recently, the initial strike. 0:17:14.880 --> 0:17:17.520 Oh really, okay, I'd never heard of that. I wish 0:17:17.560 --> 0:17:21.919 I must speedy death. Yeah, recovery, no kidding. Yeah, so 0:17:21.920 --> 0:17:22.880 we've got more news on the way. 0:17:22.880 --> 0:17:25.720 I hope you can stay here, arm strong and getty. 0:17:27.160 --> 0:17:31.920 The way that a man viewsed vegetarianism veganism tofu reflects 0:17:31.960 --> 0:17:34.679 how they view women. I think that if you can't 0:17:34.720 --> 0:17:39.240 reduce your meat intake. You are selfish. What do you 0:17:39.320 --> 0:17:41.240 mean you can't just have a veggie burger once in 0:17:41.240 --> 0:17:44.320 a while the world is dying rainforcet is being chopped 0:17:44.359 --> 0:17:47.880 down to make warehouses to kill animals in I had 0:17:47.880 --> 0:17:50.720 a bacon sandwich this morning, but I still feel so guilty. 0:17:50.960 --> 0:17:54.520 Meat isn't that good for you? The idea of that 0:17:54.640 --> 0:17:56.920 really reminds me of toxic masculinity. 0:17:57.080 --> 0:17:59.840 Okay, eating meat is toxic masculinity, according to that person. 0:18:00.040 --> 0:18:02.399 Immediately we started playing it, I regretted it. I thought, 0:18:02.680 --> 0:18:05.119 why do we or anybody else do this? I guess 0:18:05.320 --> 0:18:10.439 you take some obscure TikToker with a hot take platform. 0:18:09.960 --> 0:18:12.159 Them and then complain about it. What's the point of that? 0:18:13.000 --> 0:18:14.080 Because people enjoy it? 0:18:14.480 --> 0:18:17.000 They do they I want these people to shut up 0:18:17.040 --> 0:18:18.639 and go away. I don't want them to be like, 0:18:18.800 --> 0:18:22.600 get more juice. I don't need more juice. 0:18:22.840 --> 0:18:23.639 You're no fun. 0:18:25.800 --> 0:18:28.600 So good for you with your hot take that eating 0:18:28.640 --> 0:18:31.720 meat is toxic masculinity. See that was twenty seconds, but 0:18:31.760 --> 0:18:33.800 don't always seemed like a year. 0:18:33.720 --> 0:18:36.200 Because she was so odd. 0:18:37.320 --> 0:18:39.720 Yeah, imagine having to have dinner with her. So if 0:18:39.760 --> 0:18:43.000 twenty seconds seemed like five minutes to me. Then having 0:18:43.000 --> 0:18:46.280 dinner with her would seem like six years of your life. Oh, 0:18:46.320 --> 0:18:48.040 I would grab my phone say, oh my god, it's 0:18:48.080 --> 0:18:49.879 my mom. She's been sick. I'll be right back, and 0:18:50.600 --> 0:18:53.080 you don't care. I'll probably grab my fork and stab 0:18:53.080 --> 0:18:54.640 her in the neck. So you're better than ever seene 0:18:54.680 --> 0:18:55.919 again anything escape. 0:18:56.200 --> 0:18:57.200 We got some. 0:18:58.640 --> 0:19:00.440 News of the day, like we've already made and we'll 0:19:00.440 --> 0:19:01.639 get into some of that a little bit later on 0:19:01.680 --> 0:19:04.040 a variety of fronts. But the Forbes Billionaire List came 0:19:04.040 --> 0:19:06.560 out and it's actually pretty interesting in a number of ways, 0:19:08.240 --> 0:19:11.120 the big picture being that the list features a record 0:19:11.200 --> 0:19:15.520 three four and twenty eight billionaires, a thirteen percent increase 0:19:15.560 --> 0:19:19.000 in one year because of the stock market going up 0:19:19.080 --> 0:19:22.840 so much, the combined networth of all your richest people. 0:19:22.880 --> 0:19:25.800 I mean, I'm not working Bernie's side of the street here. 0:19:25.840 --> 0:19:27.680 I don't think this is a horror or I don't 0:19:27.720 --> 0:19:32.440 think their money took any from me. So, but it's 0:19:32.440 --> 0:19:36.000 something a combined networth that jumped by four trillion in 0:19:36.040 --> 0:19:38.800 one year to twenty trillion dollars. It was a good 0:19:38.840 --> 0:19:40.600 year for people who were rich and in the stock 0:19:40.680 --> 0:19:44.800 market definitely. That's astonishing. It is it really is thirteen 0:19:44.880 --> 0:19:48.280 percent increase in billionaires. Part of it is inflation. Is 0:19:48.280 --> 0:19:50.399 a billion isn't the same today as it was in 0:19:50.440 --> 0:19:52.960 twenty twenty. I remember I mentioned yesterday that one hundred 0:19:53.000 --> 0:19:55.520 dollars barrel oil was seventy nine dollars in twenty twenty. 0:19:55.520 --> 0:19:57.640 That's only five years and a couple of months ago. 0:19:58.119 --> 0:19:58.320 Yeah. 0:19:58.640 --> 0:20:01.600 Shock, So a billion is you know, not close to 0:20:01.640 --> 0:20:03.640 the same as it was just five years ago. 0:20:04.240 --> 0:20:05.080 Forbes called it. 0:20:05.119 --> 0:20:07.679 Keeping in mind, just to bring this home, because this 0:20:07.800 --> 0:20:11.600 is one of my top five jehads. When the government overspends, 0:20:12.000 --> 0:20:16.600 it causes inflation, and that steals your money. 0:20:17.000 --> 0:20:19.720 It steals your savings. Yeah. 0:20:19.760 --> 0:20:22.239 This is not to depress you as the world's most 0:20:22.280 --> 0:20:25.399 depressing radio show. This is just like a wake up 0:20:25.440 --> 0:20:27.680 call to me or you or anybody else. We all 0:20:27.720 --> 0:20:29.520 need to remember this. You know, you look at your 0:20:29.560 --> 0:20:32.040 four to one k or your savings one hundred thousand 0:20:32.160 --> 0:20:34.040 or five hundred thousand or a million or whatever you 0:20:34.080 --> 0:20:36.200 got in there ain't the same as it was when 0:20:36.200 --> 0:20:39.840 you looked at it in twenty twenty. The actual buying 0:20:39.880 --> 0:20:42.960 power is a lot less. According to your figures. That 0:20:43.119 --> 0:20:47.440 million dollars is seven hundred and ninety thousand. Really, yeah, 0:20:47.600 --> 0:20:51.360
