Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty arm Strong
Speaker 1: and Jetty and.
Speaker 2: Now he.
Speaker 3: Armstrong and Eddy one of the beach to President She
Speaker 3: of Chinas.
Speaker 1: Well that happens.
Speaker 4: We look right now, and I told you before they're
Speaker 4: having tremendous difficulty because their factories are not doing business.
Speaker 4: They made a trillion dollars with biting, a trillion dollars,
Speaker 4: even a triton one with Biden selling us much of
Speaker 4: a weirder of me.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 4: Somebody said, oh, the shelves that they're going to be open, Well,
Speaker 4: maybe the children will have two dollars instead of thirty dollars,
Speaker 4: you know, so maybe the two dolls will cost a
Speaker 4: couple of bucks more than they would go away.
Speaker 5: But so I thought that was an odd thing for
Speaker 5: Trump to say. So maybe your children will have one
Speaker 5: doll instead of thirty dollars for Christmas this year? Well two,
Speaker 5: it's twice as many as you just said. What is
Speaker 5: that or did he mean on the shelves. I think
Speaker 5: he meant on the shelves, and they'd cost a few
Speaker 5: bucks more. Oh, he meant on the shelves. He didn't mean,
Speaker 5: like as a gift. That's the way I took it.
Speaker 5: I don't know, that's not the way I took it,
Speaker 5: But I could be wrong. So what an odd thing
Speaker 5: to say? Way fewer presents what one of our beloved
Speaker 5: listeners to whom I should give credit, although it'd take
Speaker 5: too long to find to think. Compared that to Jimmy
Speaker 5: Carter's setting.
Speaker 1: Your thermost at lower speech, right, the malaise speech, Yeah,
Speaker 1: as it's called.
Speaker 5: Yeah, huh, I'm not sure that's fair.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 5: I just seemed like an odd thing to say to me.
Speaker 5: So your kid'll get two dollars instead of thirty, I
Speaker 5: mean if he met on the shelves. Okay, if I
Speaker 5: were to look at all of this through the lens
Speaker 5: of Trump is doing his strategic ambivalence slash I'm crazy
Speaker 5: style of negotiating him saying so China loud enough, so
Speaker 5: China could hear it. Yeah, we're gonna have a tiny
Speaker 5: fraction of the consumer choice on our shelves, and it's
Speaker 5: gonna cost more money.
Speaker 1: What are you gonna do?
Speaker 5: She's in pings thinking, holy crap, he's willing to this
Speaker 5: is like completely slap this stuff in the face of
Speaker 5: the American consumer.
Speaker 1: To your choice is more money.
Speaker 5: Bubo, he's crazy, he's nuts. We better, we better give in.
Speaker 5: I mean, that's that's the way I would see it.
Speaker 5: If that's what's happening. Michael's gonna grab just the last
Speaker 5: part of that with the dolls, because I want to
Speaker 5: hear the wording on that, because I took it as
Speaker 5: your kid gets too many toys and they'll be fine
Speaker 5: with a few, which I thought is all of the
Speaker 5: thing to say, I don't know that you've got a
Speaker 5: persecution complex. You think Trump was criticizing you.
Speaker 1: No, everyone, not me, America, right, yeah, yeah, go ahead.
Speaker 4: The children will have two dollars instead of thirty dollars,
Speaker 4: you know, so maybe the two dolls will cost a
Speaker 4: couple of bucks more than they would be a really but.
Speaker 5: Yes, it's not clear. It's it's Trump being vague, as
Speaker 5: the often is. No, it's more defendable if it's what
Speaker 5: you took it as, and that just so you have
Speaker 5: a few less choices, quite a few less choices.
Speaker 1: But if it's your.
Speaker 5: Kids are gonna get less presents, they get too many presents, Anyway,
Speaker 5: I just thought, what an interesting what an interesting angle
Speaker 5: to go with Your kids are spoiled and dolls are
Speaker 5: too cheap. Yeah, right now, I don't think that's what
Speaker 5: he meant. Anyway, let's hear it goes on a little bit.
Speaker 5: This is kind of interesting, this serious battle between US
Speaker 5: and China.
Speaker 4: They have ships that are loaded up with stuff, much
Speaker 4: of which not all of it, but much of which
Speaker 4: we don't need, and we have to make a fair deal.
Speaker 4: We've been ripped off by every country in the world,
Speaker 4: but China, I would say, is the leading, the leading one,
Speaker 4: the leading candidate for the chief ripper offer. There has
Speaker 4: never been There has never been a country that's been
Speaker 4: ripped off more than the United States of America.
Speaker 5: Ships full of stuff we don't need. Anyway, Again, I'm
Speaker 5: not exactly sure. I mean, they're shipping it over here
Speaker 5: because people are buying it, and they're not. I mean,
Speaker 5: they're not in the business of just and stores aren't
Speaker 5: the business of filling their shelves for a little stuff
Speaker 5: people don't want, either need and want or two different things.
Speaker 5: But right exactly, we have railed against cheap Chinese crap
Speaker 5: owner tendency to buy garbage that'll just be replaced in
Speaker 5: three years, as opposed to you know, enduring quality for
Speaker 5: a little more money. Give me a sixty dollars toaster
Speaker 5: you have for twenty years and you give to your
Speaker 5: kids when you go to the Great beyond.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you tool for toast. I want to get a
Speaker 1: longer or two with I mean toast.
Speaker 5: Honey, would you like my incredibly rock solid Detroit built toasters.
Speaker 5: It is a robust toaster and weighs about forty pounds.
Speaker 5: You might want to have somebody to help you carried,
Speaker 5: but it will make four slices of toast for the
Speaker 5: next two decades. Right as I want to say, you
Speaker 5: could toast a bagel with it, then beat a knox
Speaker 5: to death with it, and then toast another bagel with
Speaker 5: it because it's still intact. But anyway, I have thought that,
Speaker 5: but I want to make that choice. I don't want
Speaker 5: the President of the United States necessarily to make it
Speaker 5: for me.
Speaker 1: On the other hand, I get his point completely. I
Speaker 1: don't think it's a silly.
Speaker 5: Argument and unnecessary, and he baited me into like arguing
Speaker 5: against it, because that's it's totally irrelevant China, even more
Speaker 5: than the most most of the world post WW two,
Speaker 5: because this describes the whole world, but especially China went
Speaker 5: from complete economic basket case that needed our mercy so
Speaker 5: their economy could get up and running and become a
Speaker 5: customer of ours and a supplier of ours too. But yeah,
Speaker 5: we took mercy on them and gave them unfair trade
Speaker 5: deals because we wanted them to develop economically. But they've
Speaker 5: gone from a basket case now to a superpower, and
Speaker 5: in the case of China, a thief, a manipulator of currencies,
Speaker 5: and just a cheater in every way that's imaginable. So yeah,
Speaker 5: it's time to change the relationship. Never mind how many
Speaker 5: dolls are out there. That'll be the title of the
Speaker 5: last chapter of my memoir to old protost, the sad
Speaker 5: chapter following the previous sad chapters. China had said this yesterday,
Speaker 5: different topic, but still our evil enemy China. China pointed
Speaker 5: its finger at the United States for the origins of COVID. Yesterday,
Speaker 5: the communist regime argued that substantial evidence suggested that COVID
Speaker 5: might have come from the US earlier than the outbreak
Speaker 5: in China, while insisting the lab League theory was extremely unlikely.
Speaker 1: In a white paper the government put out yesterday.
Speaker 5: The US government, instead of facing squarely failure in response
Speaker 5: to COVID nineteen and reflecting on its shortcomings, has tried
Speaker 5: to shift the blame and divert people's attention by shamelessly
Speaker 5: politicizing COVID two origins, tracing Chinese officials complaint and it
Speaker 5: was our fault that we financed gain of function research
Speaker 5: in there.
Speaker 1: Known to be leaky lab or grant them that.
Speaker 5: It was our fault that we didn't call out the
Speaker 5: whos clearly in the pocket of China and let them
Speaker 5: get away with the early reporting that allows China to
Speaker 5: have this sort of statement.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was just reading earlier.
Speaker 5: That the idea that the WHO is in China's pocket
Speaker 5: and lying repeatedly and egregiously back in the COVID days
Speaker 5: is more rock solid than ever.
Speaker 1: The WHO is a perverse.
Speaker 5: Corrupt organization, or certainly was as opposed to the UN
Speaker 5: which is a perverse corporate corrupt organization. And how much
Speaker 5: every other world organization that we finance almost entirely, as
Speaker 5: was the UH, the CDC, and what's the other one
Speaker 5: that's the scarflat He ran NBA all of the NBA.
Speaker 5: That's right, all of those organizations or the NIH they
Speaker 5: were all lying like lunatics during the whole COVID thing,
Speaker 5: and it's all documented now. As I said last hour,
Speaker 5: I could talk about this every day for the rest
Speaker 5: of my life. I think it's that important. But people
Speaker 5: just they I don't think they want to. Okay, they
Speaker 5: got to stop showing us on TV, or I got
Speaker 5: to turn off the TVs. Have you seen the guy
Speaker 5: fall out of the stands at the Pittsburgh Pirates baseball game.
Speaker 1: I have not.
Speaker 5: I haven't heard if he was drunkard now he had
Speaker 5: to be. No way you fall over the railing like
Speaker 5: that if you're not drunk. Anyway, he lands on the
Speaker 5: field and players start yelling, get somebody out here. Yeah,
Speaker 5: he falls from the upper deck onto the field in
Speaker 5: the outfield. How's their stadium shaped well in such a
Speaker 5: way that you fall on the field. Well, clearly, Yeah,
Speaker 5: twenty feet two stories, which is far enough, especially if
Speaker 5: you land more or less on your head. How long
Speaker 5: does it take to get to terminal velocity? You took
Speaker 5: more math at it. I think thirty feet if I
Speaker 5: remember right, So it wouldn't have been a terminal velocity,
Speaker 5: but you've been going to he was hummed. Yeah, it
Speaker 5: looks he just kind of like arms is his side,
Speaker 5: leans over the railing and then just tumbles forward all
Speaker 5: the way to the As a guy who has a
Speaker 5: fear of falling in precipices, I don't need that.
Speaker 1: Yikes.
Speaker 5: Well, they start putting seat belts in those seats at
Speaker 5: major league sports sporting events.
Speaker 1: They need to require it shoulder belts as well. Almost
Speaker 1: certainly drunk, right, I don't know it's stumble.
Speaker 5: You'd just step on like a slick hot dog wrapper
Speaker 5: that has mustard on. You could step on a slick
Speaker 5: hot dog wrapper. Yes, Katie, I'm.
Speaker 6: I'm watching this video right now. If this looks intentional
Speaker 6: to me like he was trying to kill himself, well,
Speaker 6: he was sitting and then he stands up and he
Speaker 6: launches himself over the ram.
Speaker 5: It does look like he just leans forward with his
Speaker 5: arms at his side and goes over, unless he like
Speaker 5: passed out or so drunk he fell over, which Joe
Speaker 5: and I were in a football game one time where
Speaker 5: a guy fell right in our laps completely over. If
Speaker 5: he had been going forward with a railing, he'd had
Speaker 5: tumbled onto the field.
Speaker 1: Right, or maybe you know.
Speaker 5: The Pirates had met on second and third with no outs,
Speaker 5: and he said to his companion, tell you what, they
Speaker 5: don't score a run again this inning, I'm killing myself.
Speaker 5: Sure enough, hitt into a quick double play, then a strikeout,
Speaker 5: and he said, that's it.
Speaker 1: I'm done.
Speaker 5: Executive producer Hanson has looked over the video like there's
Speaker 5: a pruder film, same conclusion. Katie thinks it was on purpose.
Speaker 5: I said, goodbye, crew, were a what I'm going to
Speaker 5: dive onto the field. That's an interesting way to go out.
Speaker 5: It's possible he's suicidal and stupid, because that's a true
Speaker 5: stupid way to do it.
Speaker 1: True.
Speaker 5: Ah, people jump off bridges.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, but that'll kill you.
Speaker 5: Throwing yourself onto an outfield, well generally, right. You know what,
Speaker 5: I want a really bad shoulder injury. Here I go.
Speaker 5: I doubt that's it, all right? Yeah, I don't want
Speaker 5: to kill myself, but I want to like cause myself
Speaker 5: pain for the rest of my life. Guys alive, so
Speaker 5: maybe they can ax him at some point when he
Speaker 5: wakes up.
Speaker 1: Yo, what was that all about? You know what I'd
Speaker 1: like to hear, Michael, what flip sixty again. Please, Hi everyone,
Speaker 1: Thank you all, thank you, thank you. And Dougie's here too.
Speaker 1: Oh man, I myself out of us tends in a
Speaker 1: ball game to stop that. Oh, it's wonderful to be home.
Speaker 1: Thank you.
Speaker 5: If I was in the second deck at Kamala Harrison's
Speaker 5: comeback speech out to put my arms at my side
Speaker 5: and divn and diving dove straight onto my head. Yeah yeah,
Speaker 5: just to end that we might have more of that
Speaker 5: later and other stuff.
Speaker 1: Stay here.
Speaker 7: Another another another troubling sign out there in the market.
Speaker 7: Strippers are reporting that customers are tipping less than half
Speaker 7: of what they used to. Yes, but what those customers
Speaker 7: lacking tips they make up for in sparkling personality. Hey hey, Cheyenne, Hey, hey, Cheyenne,
Speaker 7: you smell good.
Speaker 1: Listen.
Speaker 8: Uh.
Speaker 7: I hate to do this, but I need. I need
Speaker 7: a place to crash as you're building allaw iguanas. Full disclosure,
Speaker 7: I can't afford underwear.
Speaker 1: God.
Speaker 5: It's not a charitable view of your average strip club patriot.
Speaker 5: Although for the name the moniker Gentleman's club Jack, because
Speaker 5: everyone I've seen in one is a real gentleman. So
Speaker 5: The Washington Post has an interesting story today about Sean P.
Speaker 5: Diddy Combs speaking of debauchery right and there are I
Speaker 5: didn't realize this. He's in jail. There's a decent chance
Speaker 5: he's gonna be in jail for the rest of his life.
Speaker 5: He's got the sex trafficking and all the different charges.
Speaker 5: There are seventy different cases after this one that he's
Speaker 5: going to be dealing with. Seventy seven zero. Wow, that's incomprehensible. Yeah,
Speaker 5: it really is. So I'll just give you the opening
Speaker 5: part for the Washington Post. And really their point is
Speaker 5: everybody more or less new this was his lifestyle, but
Speaker 5: just thought, man, what are you gonna do? I guess
Speaker 5: he was like a king of Old, like a Caligula.
Speaker 5: They talk about this woman, Tania Wallace. Oh, I haven't
Speaker 5: seen a picture of but I'm guessing is very hot.
Speaker 5: That's how you end up in this situation. In late
Speaker 5: twenty twenty two, which wasn't very long ago, Sean Combs
Speaker 5: got into trouble. A man in the Los Angeles approached
Speaker 5: Tania Wallace with an offer. The man was a scout
Speaker 5: for Soft White Underbelly. That is a YouTube channel about
Speaker 5: people struggling with issues of abuse and addiction. Anyway, Wallace,
Speaker 5: an aspiring singer or model or actress or whatever you
Speaker 5: are as a young hot woman in Los Angeles. In there,
Speaker 5: thousands and thousands of them also made some money with
Speaker 5: some sex work and agreed to go get her picture
Speaker 5: taken or whatever. In the interview with The Washington Post,
Speaker 5: she recounted an incident where the Crown Prince of Brunei,
Speaker 5: once she got into this orbit, flewor from Los Angeles
Speaker 5: to Miami with the promise of helping her singing career.
Speaker 5: So if you're an out of work wanna be hotty singer,
Speaker 5: and the Crown Prince of Brunei says, yeah, I'll fly
Speaker 5: you to wherever I'm going to help you.
Speaker 1: I mean, who are you going to say no to that?
Speaker 5: Well, and you're already sharing your favors with fellas for
Speaker 5: various forms of renumeration, why not you know what the heck?
Speaker 5: Maybe you could get your singing career gone. Not that
Speaker 5: I approve, I just get it anywhere anyway, crowns Principle
Speaker 5: flies her from LA to Miami with a promise of
Speaker 5: helping her singing career. Once there, he took her to
Speaker 5: a party on Star Island, an uber exclusive man made
Speaker 5: enclave home to celebrities such as Rick Ross, retired basketball
Speaker 5: star Shaquille O'Neil, and Shawan Didty Combs, The music mogul
Speaker 5: was throwing a party. Security guards took her phone before
Speaker 5: she could wander through the property. She entered quite a scene,
Speaker 5: as she described the Washington Post, Topless waitresses served drinks
Speaker 5: by the pool. Inside woozy parter, goers were having sex
Speaker 5: and nobody was really even paying any attention. Wallace eventually
Speaker 5: encountered Sean Combs outside on a patio. At some point,
Speaker 5: she says, he started masturbating.
Speaker 1: It's got a party. Prince Abdullah Zima Brunei, who was
Speaker 1: thirty eight years old. What's really funny?
Speaker 5: As they described this as an exclusive place. Yeah, I'd
Speaker 5: rather go somewhere less exclusive, where people aren't doing that.
Speaker 5: So the ground where it's ben I says, hey, you
Speaker 5: want to go to Cuba tomorrow? I was freaked out.
Speaker 5: She got away from it and never became like a
Speaker 5: victim of any of this, but witnessed a bunch of it.
Speaker 5: So she was one of the people that had the
Speaker 5: spidy sense or good judgment or upbringing or whatever. When
Speaker 5: the Crown Prince had I says, hey, let's go to
Speaker 5: Cuba tomorrow, probably to get into a different country where
Speaker 5: they have different laws and rules. And she said no,
Speaker 5: no thanks and went back home. But she's interviewed by
Speaker 5: the Washington Postman. But and again, one of the points
Speaker 5: being there were tons and tons of people that had
Speaker 5: encountered all this, and it had been going on, and
Speaker 5: everybody kind of knew he was living this lifestyle. Was
Speaker 5: just like, again, what are you gonna do? That's Shawn
Speaker 5: Combs being Shawn Combs. On the other hand, she just
Speaker 5: released a hit record I saw did He Waxing His
Speaker 5: Dolphin by the Sea. It's number three in streaming this week,
Speaker 5: Jack till Waltz. Oddly enough, Yes, strangely so, the US
Speaker 5: military is changing its game as quickly as possible.
Speaker 1: New frontiers and warfare, drones and more. We'll talk about
Speaker 1: it in moments, Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 9: You know, we don't have a challenge with the innovation.
Speaker 9: The innovation's happening down with our soldiers. We're changing formations
Speaker 9: right now. We had an exercise where we had more
Speaker 9: than two hundred drones in a brigade combat team. We're
Speaker 9: watching what's happening. We know we need to change, and
Speaker 9: you know, if there's one thing we just can't go
Speaker 9: fast enough, we got to speed that change.
Speaker 5: General Randy George on Fox and Friends today talking about
Speaker 5: the military modernizing to try to keep up with the
Speaker 5: reality of new warfare that everybody on the planet is
Speaker 5: watching happen before our eyes in Ukraine and Russia. Indeed, Yeah,
Speaker 5: and more on that specifically in a moment, but first,
Speaker 5: in a more general look at the situation. I thought
Speaker 5: it was interesting that the Wall Street Journal editorial board
Speaker 5: was quite blunt in discussing, but I think it's good news.
Speaker 5: The House Senate Armed Services Committee has unveiled plans for
Speaker 5: a one time one hundred and fifty billion dollar increase
Speaker 5: in defense spending as part of a reconciliation bill.
Speaker 1: Whether it passes or not, who knows.
Speaker 5: But the striking part to me was that the Journal said,
Speaker 5: and I think they're quite correct, it's early good news
Speaker 5: that includes a cash infusion to arrest US military decline.
Speaker 5: They just stated as fact that our military is in decline,
Speaker 5: and they go on to say the US military spending
Speaker 5: is that historic at a historic lows. A share of
Speaker 5: the economy and America lacks the ammunition, hardware and up
Speaker 5: to date technology to prevail over an access of adversaries.
Speaker 1: Well, you could be in decline in a number of ways.
Speaker 5: You could be in decline because the current stuff you have,
Speaker 5: you know, it's breaking down and you're not replacing it
Speaker 5: or fixing it, or training is poor. You could also
Speaker 5: be just right on top of it and everything is great,
Speaker 5: but you're in decline because warfare has changed drastically in
Speaker 5: the last couple of years and you haven't changed with it.
Speaker 5: You're pretending that when you go to war it's going
Speaker 5: to be an old timy war and not the new
Speaker 5: modern war.
Speaker 1: Right right.
Speaker 5: And interestingly, a lot of the money is going to
Speaker 5: ship building, which is still important. I hope a lot
Speaker 5: of that is unmanned vessels. A future of everything is drones. Again,
Speaker 5: more on that in a second. Munitions, the Pacific Forces, homeland,
Speaker 5: missile defense, and a few other things. But I think
Speaker 5: that's overdue and necessary. But to the drone thing, well,
Speaker 5: I keep mentioning this Ukraine podcast I listened to the
Speaker 5: other day where a guy who ran Ukraine's military for
Speaker 5: a while put out a paper basically saying warfare has changed,
Speaker 5: and here's how. And he said, big ships are useless.
Speaker 5: Now Russia's super high tech warships are hiding in docks
Speaker 5: because if they go out at all, they get attacked
Speaker 5: by drones and sunk.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 5: Now the technology might be coming to deal with the
Speaker 5: drones and then the ships are a go again. But
Speaker 5: for right now, tanks and ships don't really go out
Speaker 5: and do anything.
Speaker 1: Boy, that's a.
Speaker 5: Great illustration of the challenge of the thing. Wow, yeah,
Speaker 5: ships are out. Wait a minute, we figured out how
Speaker 5: to fend off drones. Get those ships oiled up and
Speaker 5: back out on the sea.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Crazy. Oh, speaking of.
Speaker 5: Which, and I'm gonna do this just so I don't
Speaker 5: forget a handful of folks, we were discussing how that
Speaker 5: sixty seventy eighty million dollars fighter jet fell off an
Speaker 5: aircraft carrier, and we were talking about how swiftly an
Speaker 5: aircraft carrier might turn and that sort of thing. A
Speaker 5: handful of our beloved listeners sent us videos of modern
Speaker 5: aircraft carriers executing emergency turns, and it is stunning, It
Speaker 5: is mind blowing. These gigantic vessels are seriously listing to
Speaker 5: one side and turning like a speedboat.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 5: Okay, So it is possible that it was the sharp
Speaker 5: turn that caused the plane, the big one that was
Speaker 5: pulling the plane, and the plane rolled off the side
Speaker 5: and fell in. But well, obviously there's got to be
Speaker 5: a failing on some level. Otherwise every time they did this,
Speaker 5: all the planes would fall right. That was gonna be
Speaker 5: my point. Having to turn sharply in a war is
Speaker 5: a thing. That's why you made it have the capability
Speaker 5: to turn sharply. And I assume you don't want your
Speaker 5: fighter jets to roll off into the sea every time
Speaker 5: you have to make a sharp turn. Yes, that would
Speaker 5: be a rather expensive learning curve. You'd hope they just
Speaker 5: go ahead and strap them down to begin with. So
Speaker 5: the headline today is US Army plans massive increase in
Speaker 5: its use of drones. The shift to more small unmanned
Speaker 5: aircraft is based on lessons that Jack mentioned from the
Speaker 5: Ukraine battlefield and feel free to jump in, you know,
Speaker 5: obviously anytime you want. From the podcast, you're listening to
Speaker 5: the knowledge you gained. But they're calling it the largest
Speaker 5: overhaul since the end of the Cold War. There are
Speaker 5: plans to equip each combat division in the Army with
Speaker 5: around one thousand drones and to shed out moded weapons
Speaker 5: and other equipment. I love that the plan is the
Speaker 5: product of more than a year of experimentation at a
Speaker 5: huge trailing range in Bavaria and other US bases, drawing
Speaker 5: heavily on lessons from the war in Ukraine were small
Speaker 5: on men aircrafts, as I'm sure you've been following, used
Speaker 5: in large numbers and have transformed the battlefield.
Speaker 1: I'm pleased to hear this. Yeah.
Speaker 5: The interesting thing was hearing a different person on the
Speaker 5: podcast later say, well, it's it's openly known and being
Speaker 5: reported that in Great Britain they're working on a weapon
Speaker 5: they think they are going to be able to perfect
Speaker 5: that deals with these swarms of drones and will be
Speaker 5: able to disable them, So then the whole drone thing
Speaker 5: will be over and might have been a four year
Speaker 5: blip in military history.
Speaker 1: I have no idea, neither does anybody else. Probably, well,
Speaker 1: it's such.
Speaker 5: An intriguing thought that the because of you know, computers
Speaker 5: and AI and the ability to simulate this and then
Speaker 5: three D print, that these like waves of technology that
Speaker 5: transform the battlefield that often in the past would like
Speaker 5: hold sway for one hundred years.
Speaker 1: Now it might be like a week and a.
Speaker 5: Half, right, OHI they maybe we should just give piece
Speaker 5: a chance, Jack and good life. War has never solved anything,
Speaker 5: so the are I love? That's one of my favorite ones.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: The Army's ten active duty divisions would shift heavily into
Speaker 5: unmanned aircraft if this plan is indeed carried out, using
Speaker 5: them for surveillance, to move supplies, and.
Speaker 1: To carry out attacks.
Speaker 5: No truckers, you know, protected by machine gunners going down
Speaker 5: the known supply roots at incredibly high risk. Any of
Speaker 5: you guys and gals who served in Iraq and Afghanistan
Speaker 5: with the roads you know, fraught with IEDs and the
Speaker 5: rest of it. We're thinking about y'all as we discussed this. Now,
Speaker 5: a drone would hauld that crap one way or another
Speaker 5: or well, and a drone can mean a dozen different things.
Speaker 5: As we all, I think have figured out unmanned aerial vehicle,
Speaker 5: which is obviously what we're talking about here, unmanned road vehicles,
Speaker 5: ground vehicles, ocean going vessels. There I happen to know
Speaker 5: personally there are a number of companies doing incredible innovative
Speaker 5: work with the seagoing drones. There are a couple of
Speaker 5: reports out there that the Russian military is like six
Speaker 5: months from collapsing, and that might be what Trump is
Speaker 5: up to and talking to Zelensky about.
Speaker 1: I hope that's true. That'd be awesome. You wouldn't imagine, You.
Speaker 5: Wouldn't think you could sustain these kind of casualties, even
Speaker 5: as Russia for very long. They're approaching a million men
Speaker 5: taking off the field in three years a million, seventeen
Speaker 5: thousand deaths drove them out of Afghanistan. The famous Russian
Speaker 5: mothers who got so much political power, marching in the
Speaker 5: streets about you know, their sons not coming back seventeen thousand.
Speaker 5: They've had almost a million killed and wounded, to the
Speaker 5: point they're no longer on the field in a three
Speaker 5: and a half years, right, right, Well, I don't want

Speaker 1: Everything's going great, right yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5: Land warfare has transitioned to drone warfare, says Jack Keene,
Speaker 5: retired General Vice Chief of Staff of the Army. You
Speaker 5: see him on Fox News now and again with his
Speaker 5: blue eyes like a husky dog. Anyway, Land warfare has
Speaker 5: transitioned to drone warfare. If you can be seen, you
Speaker 5: can be killed. A soldier carrying a rocket propelled grenade,
Speaker 5: a tank, command and control facilities, artillery positions can all
Speaker 5: be taken out by drones very rapidly for now, unless
Speaker 5: the Brits get their thing done.
Speaker 1: So interesting, God, I'd say.

Speaker 5: aggressively seeking the leading edge, even if we're not quite
Speaker 5: at it, and we might be. You know, we do
Speaker 5: a lot of stuff that's highly classified. And where is
Speaker 5: China on this?

Speaker 5: out of the playoffs in the first round for the
Speaker 5: second year in a row, even though they were the
Speaker 5: three seed. They got knocked out for to one, and
Speaker 5: then the Timberwolves beat. Can I jump in and say,
Speaker 5: if you'd like to sound knowledgeable about basketball, but you
Speaker 5: have no time to pay attention to it, here's what
Speaker 5: you say, Yeah, because the NBA salary cap to have
Speaker 5: Lebron and look at Don Check on the same team,
Speaker 5: they had no supporting cast. Just say that and people
Speaker 5: revere you as a sage unless you're probably a Warriors
Speaker 5: fan or in Minnesota Timberwolves saying you don't care about this,
Speaker 5: but the the Wolves meet the Warriors last night, so
Speaker 5: that's three two Warriors and comes back to San Francisco
Speaker 5: Friday night. I might go to that game, but the
Speaker 5: Warriors are the Timberwolves last night said an NBA record
Speaker 5: for the worst three point percentage in any game in
Speaker 5: a playoffs with at least forty attempts. They shot forty
Speaker 5: seven threes and missed forty of them. You think you
Speaker 5: who would win? And they dominated that game. I mean,
Speaker 5: they just trouncet Worriors. But they shot forty seven threes
Speaker 5: and missed forty of them and won the game and
Speaker 5: won the game.
Speaker 1: But play, What a miserable effort by Golden State. Lucky
Speaker 1: for you to keep. That's one of the weird things
Speaker 1: about the NBA.
Speaker 5: If you've been an NBA fan, it's just there's those
Speaker 5: games where your team gets blown out by twenty.
Speaker 1: It happens right off the bat.
Speaker 5: All the players seem to recognize this is one of
Speaker 5: those games and kind of give up, and it just
Speaker 5: it happens now and then I don't know why.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, I know.
Speaker 5: I unders basketball's the most gracious sport for that, I
Speaker 5: think so. A Florida emom has announced that he's going
Speaker 5: to convert everybody into Florida to Islam. If you don't
Speaker 5: know why that's different than a baptistmant saying the same thing,
Speaker 5: you should stay tuned, and if you do know the difference,
Speaker 5: you should stay tuned.
Speaker 1: In fact, everyone should stay tuned. Uh.
Speaker 5: But we have a lot of good stuff. Anything in
Speaker 5: particular leap to your mind, Jack.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I wanted to get to I know.
Speaker 5: They've always got a campus madness update coming up next
Speaker 5: hour that's really good and interesting. Also, one of the
Speaker 5: more popular weight loss drugs, it's going to be a
Speaker 5: lot easier to get in a new way to get it,
Speaker 5: so more of us will be on that as insurance
Speaker 5: companies start to decide that it's cheaper for us in
Speaker 5: the long run for you to have that drug than
Speaker 5: to pay for all your various problems that come from
Speaker 5: being too heavy. Makes sense, So we're all going to
Speaker 5: be skinny and on medicine for better or worse.
Speaker 1: Stay tuned.
Speaker 6: Robert De Niro's twenty nine year old child, Aaron, has
Speaker 6: come out as transgender.
Speaker 1: When the press asked her for comment, she said, you
Speaker 1: talking to day then.
Speaker 5: Old timey movie reference. Good one, yeah, a good one,
Speaker 5: good one. To what extent Robert de Niro was her dad?
Speaker 5: I don't know his dad, their dad, their dad savors.
Speaker 1: So let's just go with they. It's too confusing.
Speaker 5: Uh So A lot to come next hour of important
Speaker 5: newsy worthiness. A couple of things that are aproposed nothing
Speaker 5: but enlightening and or amusing, including this. Let's not get
Speaker 5: hung up on the fact that this woman is named
Speaker 5: Lindsey Graham.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 5: Not the the somewhat effeminate what South Carolina would you
Speaker 5: need to do that? I'm sorry, the the gentle mannered, well,
Speaker 5: I don't know. There's a Saturday Night Live bit back
Speaker 5: in the day inappropriate And I retracted. He's a brilliant man,
Speaker 5: a veteran and a long running US a long time
Speaker 5: unmarried male. And this gal has what this gal has
Speaker 5: the same name, but that's apropos not of that.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 5: And she is testifying and I believe a school board meeting.
Speaker 5: Here's what she had to say. Twelve Michael, my.
Speaker 10: Name is Lindsey Graham and I am a cat. Now
Speaker 10: mayow I'm not a woman dressed as a cat. I
Speaker 10: am a cat by.
Speaker 1: Show of hands.
Speaker 10: I'm curious how many of you believe and confess that
Speaker 10: I'm a cat?
Speaker 1: No one, you are right? Why?
Speaker 10: Because you are not stupid and these children are not stupid.
Speaker 10: One look at me and you know this to be true.
Speaker 10: I am a woman posing as a cat. You may
Speaker 10: also think correctly that if I truly believe I'm a cat,
Speaker 10: I have a mental disorder. If I suffer from a
Speaker 10: mental disorder, and if I am unable to discern reality,
Speaker 10: am I safe to be around children?
Speaker 1: Would you put me in charge of.
Speaker 10: Making critical decisions about the safety and well being of
Speaker 10: children and about the direction of their education when I
Speaker 10: cannot even discern truth from fiction. No tail, whiskers, or
Speaker 10: outfit makes me a cat, just like no lipstick, high heels,
Speaker 10: or long hair makes him a woman. If you were
Speaker 10: to address me as a cat right now, it's as
Speaker 10: ridiculous as when you say miss Bixler and a grown
Speaker 10: man's voice comes thundering over this.
Speaker 5: Thank you cut her, mic I. I'm sure agree with
Speaker 5: her directionally, but I don't know if that's a fair
Speaker 5: There are not a lot of men or women who
Speaker 5: are practically the other gender for whatever reasons of humanity.
Speaker 5: I mean, there's a lot of very effeminate dudes and
Speaker 5: masculine women. There are no practically cat like dudes or women.
Speaker 1: I'm here live, I'm not a cat. That's a fair assessment.
Speaker 5: I think her point may have been a bit overstated.
Speaker 5: Let's try this one instead. Perhaps you'll like this one.
Speaker 5: This is a woman who posted the inevitable sitting in
Speaker 5: her car talking to the camera aggrieved video. She has
Speaker 5: tattoos everywhere, many of which appeared to be of an
Speaker 5: occult nature, your typical goats, horns and pentagrams and that
Speaker 5: sort of thing. She also has more piercings than a
Speaker 5: bullseye at a high school archery tournament, just all sorts.
Speaker 1: Of metal in every which way.
Speaker 5: And she posted a video and then a gal, another
Speaker 5: plucky gal.
Speaker 1: I decided to reply to it.
Speaker 8: I applied for a job at TJ Max a few
Speaker 8: weeks ago and they denied my application. They couldn't even
Speaker 8: call me, they just sent me some automated email.
Speaker 1: So I went in.
Speaker 2: Today and I was like, so, what was the reason
Speaker 2: I didn't get hired? And she was like, Oh, like
Speaker 2: you just like don't have enough experience. There was candidates
Speaker 2: that had like more experience than you, and you know,
Speaker 2: I asked her if it was about my tattoos, obviously,
Speaker 2: because I know a lot of places don't like tattoos.
Speaker 8: She said that wasn't the reason.
Speaker 1: I don't. I feel like that's true. Okay, So here's
Speaker 1: the thing.
Speaker 11: If you want to tattoo the mess out of your face,
Speaker 11: be my guess. There's no law against inking your neck
Speaker 11: with demon symbols or sprawling all kinds of occult.
Speaker 1: Imagery across your forehead, just like there's no.
Speaker 11: Law against putting forty studs through your cheeks and your lips,
Speaker 11: or dyeing your eyeballs green.
Speaker 1: If you're a dude who.
Speaker 11: Wants to strut around in fishnut stockings, or if you're
Speaker 11: a woman who wants to dress up like a cat
Speaker 11: and me out and everybody, that's not illegal. Supremely stupid,
Speaker 11: but not illegal. But please, for the love of all
Speaker 11: that is holy, stop demanding that the rest of us
Speaker 11: accommodate your insanity.
Speaker 1: You did what you did to be different.
Speaker 11: Congratulations, mission accomplished. So TJ Max doesn't want you to
Speaker 11: be the face of their store for their customers. Maybe
Speaker 11: go see if the circus has an eotase.
Speaker 1: That's a good ending. Yeah.
Speaker 5: I can do or present any way I want and
Speaker 5: you have to accept me. Yeah, not really, no, Yeah,
Speaker 5: how do you The trouble is there's just too many
Speaker 5: lawyers and everything.
Speaker 1: How do you illegally do that? Though?
Speaker 5: How do you legally? How do you write that into
Speaker 5: the law? Very state by state, you know, and where
Speaker 5: do you draw the line we don't want women with
Speaker 5: short hair working here?
Speaker 1: Can you do that? It depends on the nature of
Speaker 1: the business.
Speaker 5: But this isn't mean in reality if you get away
Speaker 5: from freaking lawyers and having to you know, get everything
Speaker 5: figured out lawwise, No, TJ Max shouldn't have to hire
Speaker 5: somebody that ninety percent of customers are going to like
Speaker 5: recoil from right or.
Speaker 1: Be afraid of. Yeah.
Speaker 5: Clearly that that collision between practical reality and civil rights
Speaker 5: is a really interesting field. And I could talk about
Speaker 5: it all day, but we're out of time. But just
Speaker 5: everybody should teach their youngster. You want to be really
Speaker 5: out there, go ahead, But there are gonna be results
Speaker 5: from this. There will be repercussions from this. Yeah, people
Speaker 5: have reaction. They make perceptions or assumptions about you. Maybe
Speaker 5: they're not right, maybe they're not fair, but they will
Speaker 5: do it.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Wow, Well they're sitting in the car selfie video.
Speaker 1: Yeah what do you be? Young people? Young people, get
Speaker 1: off my law
Speaker 5: Armstrong and Getty
