WEBVTT - Too Old For Toast! 0:00:01.840 --> 0:00:06.160 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:06.200 --> 0:00:10.720 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty arm Strong 0:00:10.800 --> 0:00:11.720 and Jetty and. 0:00:11.880 --> 0:00:12.480 Now he. 0:00:15.360 --> 0:00:24.960 Armstrong and Eddy one of the beach to President She 0:00:25.239 --> 0:00:26.239 of Chinas. 0:00:26.720 --> 0:00:27.600 Well that happens. 0:00:27.800 --> 0:00:29.960 We look right now, and I told you before they're 0:00:30.000 --> 0:00:34.479 having tremendous difficulty because their factories are not doing business. 0:00:36.000 --> 0:00:39.400 They made a trillion dollars with biting, a trillion dollars, 0:00:39.400 --> 0:00:44.920 even a triton one with Biden selling us much of 0:00:45.000 --> 0:00:45.519 a weirder of me. 0:00:45.720 --> 0:00:45.920 You know. 0:00:46.040 --> 0:00:48.440 Somebody said, oh, the shelves that they're going to be open, Well, 0:00:48.880 --> 0:00:51.839 maybe the children will have two dollars instead of thirty dollars, 0:00:51.880 --> 0:00:54.480 you know, so maybe the two dolls will cost a 0:00:54.520 --> 0:00:56.200 couple of bucks more than they would go away. 0:00:56.240 --> 0:00:59.760 But so I thought that was an odd thing for 0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:04.000 Trump to say. So maybe your children will have one 0:01:04.080 --> 0:01:08.199 doll instead of thirty dollars for Christmas this year? Well two, 0:01:08.880 --> 0:01:11.560 it's twice as many as you just said. What is 0:01:11.600 --> 0:01:13.920 that or did he mean on the shelves. I think 0:01:13.920 --> 0:01:17.000 he meant on the shelves, and they'd cost a few 0:01:17.040 --> 0:01:19.880 bucks more. Oh, he meant on the shelves. He didn't mean, 0:01:20.160 --> 0:01:22.800 like as a gift. That's the way I took it. 0:01:23.000 --> 0:01:24.560 I don't know, that's not the way I took it, 0:01:24.560 --> 0:01:27.520 But I could be wrong. So what an odd thing 0:01:27.600 --> 0:01:34.320 to say? Way fewer presents what one of our beloved 0:01:34.360 --> 0:01:37.360 listeners to whom I should give credit, although it'd take 0:01:37.400 --> 0:01:41.480 too long to find to think. Compared that to Jimmy 0:01:41.560 --> 0:01:43.000 Carter's setting. 0:01:42.680 --> 0:01:47.920 Your thermost at lower speech, right, the malaise speech, Yeah, 0:01:47.960 --> 0:01:48.760 as it's called. 0:01:48.880 --> 0:01:53.720 Yeah, huh, I'm not sure that's fair. 0:01:53.920 --> 0:01:55.000 I don't know. I don't know. 0:01:55.720 --> 0:01:57.960 I just seemed like an odd thing to say to me. 0:01:58.280 --> 0:02:00.800 So your kid'll get two dollars instead of thirty, I 0:02:00.840 --> 0:02:07.280 mean if he met on the shelves. Okay, if I 0:02:07.360 --> 0:02:09.640 were to look at all of this through the lens 0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:16.840 of Trump is doing his strategic ambivalence slash I'm crazy 0:02:17.480 --> 0:02:21.800 style of negotiating him saying so China loud enough, so 0:02:21.880 --> 0:02:24.640 China could hear it. Yeah, we're gonna have a tiny 0:02:24.680 --> 0:02:27.320 fraction of the consumer choice on our shelves, and it's 0:02:27.360 --> 0:02:28.280 gonna cost more money. 0:02:28.320 --> 0:02:29.080 What are you gonna do? 0:02:29.520 --> 0:02:34.000 She's in pings thinking, holy crap, he's willing to this 0:02:34.240 --> 0:02:37.840 is like completely slap this stuff in the face of 0:02:37.880 --> 0:02:39.040 the American consumer. 0:02:39.560 --> 0:02:41.399 To your choice is more money. 0:02:41.240 --> 0:02:45.040 Bubo, he's crazy, he's nuts. We better, we better give in. 0:02:45.600 --> 0:02:47.440 I mean, that's that's the way I would see it. 0:02:47.480 --> 0:02:50.320 If that's what's happening. Michael's gonna grab just the last 0:02:50.320 --> 0:02:51.720 part of that with the dolls, because I want to 0:02:51.760 --> 0:02:54.520 hear the wording on that, because I took it as 0:02:55.080 --> 0:02:58.000 your kid gets too many toys and they'll be fine 0:02:58.040 --> 0:03:00.239 with a few, which I thought is all of the 0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:03.080 thing to say, I don't know that you've got a 0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:06.440 persecution complex. You think Trump was criticizing you. 0:03:06.480 --> 0:03:10.320 No, everyone, not me, America, right, yeah, yeah, go ahead. 0:03:10.840 --> 0:03:13.480 The children will have two dollars instead of thirty dollars, 0:03:13.520 --> 0:03:16.120 you know, so maybe the two dolls will cost a 0:03:16.160 --> 0:03:18.000 couple of bucks more than they would be a really but. 0:03:19.760 --> 0:03:22.800 Yes, it's not clear. It's it's Trump being vague, as 0:03:22.840 --> 0:03:26.760 the often is. No, it's more defendable if it's what 0:03:26.919 --> 0:03:29.680 you took it as, and that just so you have 0:03:29.720 --> 0:03:32.240 a few less choices, quite a few less choices. 0:03:32.280 --> 0:03:33.760 But if it's your. 0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:36.040 Kids are gonna get less presents, they get too many presents, Anyway, 0:03:36.280 --> 0:03:39.320 I just thought, what an interesting what an interesting angle 0:03:39.400 --> 0:03:41.800 to go with Your kids are spoiled and dolls are 0:03:41.840 --> 0:03:44.600 too cheap. Yeah, right now, I don't think that's what 0:03:44.640 --> 0:03:48.520 he meant. Anyway, let's hear it goes on a little bit. 0:03:48.560 --> 0:03:51.520 This is kind of interesting, this serious battle between US 0:03:51.560 --> 0:03:52.000 and China. 0:03:52.640 --> 0:03:56.120 They have ships that are loaded up with stuff, much 0:03:56.120 --> 0:03:58.119 of which not all of it, but much of which 0:03:58.160 --> 0:04:01.680 we don't need, and we have to make a fair deal. 0:04:01.840 --> 0:04:05.080 We've been ripped off by every country in the world, 0:04:05.080 --> 0:04:08.200 but China, I would say, is the leading, the leading one, 0:04:08.600 --> 0:04:15.040 the leading candidate for the chief ripper offer. There has 0:04:15.040 --> 0:04:18.680 never been There has never been a country that's been 0:04:18.760 --> 0:04:21.640 ripped off more than the United States of America. 0:04:21.240 --> 0:04:25.120 Ships full of stuff we don't need. Anyway, Again, I'm 0:04:25.480 --> 0:04:28.240 not exactly sure. I mean, they're shipping it over here 0:04:28.279 --> 0:04:30.040 because people are buying it, and they're not. I mean, 0:04:30.080 --> 0:04:33.080 they're not in the business of just and stores aren't 0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:34.760 the business of filling their shelves for a little stuff 0:04:34.800 --> 0:04:37.839 people don't want, either need and want or two different things. 0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:42.080 But right exactly, we have railed against cheap Chinese crap 0:04:42.240 --> 0:04:45.960 owner tendency to buy garbage that'll just be replaced in 0:04:46.000 --> 0:04:48.960 three years, as opposed to you know, enduring quality for 0:04:49.000 --> 0:04:51.680 a little more money. Give me a sixty dollars toaster 0:04:52.720 --> 0:04:55.120 you have for twenty years and you give to your 0:04:55.200 --> 0:04:57.040 kids when you go to the Great beyond. 0:04:57.160 --> 0:05:00.599 Yeah, you tool for toast. I want to get a 0:05:00.640 --> 0:05:01.880 longer or two with I mean toast. 0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:06.479 Honey, would you like my incredibly rock solid Detroit built toasters. 0:05:06.560 --> 0:05:09.680 It is a robust toaster and weighs about forty pounds. 0:05:09.720 --> 0:05:11.000 You might want to have somebody to help you carried, 0:05:11.040 --> 0:05:14.160 but it will make four slices of toast for the 0:05:14.200 --> 0:05:16.960 next two decades. Right as I want to say, you 0:05:16.960 --> 0:05:19.680 could toast a bagel with it, then beat a knox 0:05:19.760 --> 0:05:22.520 to death with it, and then toast another bagel with 0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:26.280 it because it's still intact. But anyway, I have thought that, 0:05:26.839 --> 0:05:29.840 but I want to make that choice. I don't want 0:05:30.000 --> 0:05:32.680 the President of the United States necessarily to make it 0:05:32.720 --> 0:05:32.960 for me. 0:05:33.240 --> 0:05:35.359 On the other hand, I get his point completely. I 0:05:35.360 --> 0:05:37.440 don't think it's a silly. 0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:42.480 Argument and unnecessary, and he baited me into like arguing 0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:48.320 against it, because that's it's totally irrelevant China, even more 0:05:48.400 --> 0:05:51.400 than the most most of the world post WW two, 0:05:52.040 --> 0:05:54.640 because this describes the whole world, but especially China went 0:05:54.720 --> 0:06:00.320 from complete economic basket case that needed our mercy so 0:06:00.360 --> 0:06:02.720 their economy could get up and running and become a 0:06:02.760 --> 0:06:05.840 customer of ours and a supplier of ours too. But yeah, 0:06:06.040 --> 0:06:08.080 we took mercy on them and gave them unfair trade 0:06:08.080 --> 0:06:11.480 deals because we wanted them to develop economically. But they've 0:06:11.520 --> 0:06:14.960 gone from a basket case now to a superpower, and 0:06:15.000 --> 0:06:19.240 in the case of China, a thief, a manipulator of currencies, 0:06:20.160 --> 0:06:22.480 and just a cheater in every way that's imaginable. So yeah, 0:06:22.480 --> 0:06:25.600 it's time to change the relationship. Never mind how many 0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:28.719 dolls are out there. That'll be the title of the 0:06:28.800 --> 0:06:32.480 last chapter of my memoir to old protost, the sad 0:06:32.560 --> 0:06:37.719 chapter following the previous sad chapters. China had said this yesterday, 0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:40.599 different topic, but still our evil enemy China. China pointed 0:06:40.640 --> 0:06:43.480 its finger at the United States for the origins of COVID. Yesterday, 0:06:44.640 --> 0:06:48.360 the communist regime argued that substantial evidence suggested that COVID 0:06:48.520 --> 0:06:50.719 might have come from the US earlier than the outbreak 0:06:50.720 --> 0:06:54.320 in China, while insisting the lab League theory was extremely unlikely. 0:06:54.360 --> 0:06:56.640 In a white paper the government put out yesterday. 0:06:57.680 --> 0:07:01.159 The US government, instead of facing squarely failure in response 0:07:01.200 --> 0:07:04.000 to COVID nineteen and reflecting on its shortcomings, has tried 0:07:04.000 --> 0:07:07.240 to shift the blame and divert people's attention by shamelessly 0:07:07.279 --> 0:07:14.680 politicizing COVID two origins, tracing Chinese officials complaint and it 0:07:14.800 --> 0:07:18.200 was our fault that we financed gain of function research 0:07:18.320 --> 0:07:18.840 in there. 0:07:18.760 --> 0:07:21.200 Known to be leaky lab or grant them that. 0:07:21.320 --> 0:07:23.320 It was our fault that we didn't call out the 0:07:23.480 --> 0:07:26.640 whos clearly in the pocket of China and let them 0:07:26.680 --> 0:07:30.840 get away with the early reporting that allows China to 0:07:30.880 --> 0:07:31.960 have this sort of statement. 0:07:32.800 --> 0:07:36.000 Yeah, I was just reading earlier. 0:07:37.920 --> 0:07:41.600 That the idea that the WHO is in China's pocket 0:07:42.080 --> 0:07:46.520 and lying repeatedly and egregiously back in the COVID days 0:07:46.720 --> 0:07:48.400 is more rock solid than ever. 0:07:49.440 --> 0:07:52.400 The WHO is a perverse. 0:07:51.960 --> 0:07:55.800 Corrupt organization, or certainly was as opposed to the UN 0:07:55.840 --> 0:07:59.040 which is a perverse corporate corrupt organization. And how much 0:07:59.160 --> 0:08:06.240 every other world organization that we finance almost entirely, as 0:08:06.520 --> 0:08:10.680 was the UH, the CDC, and what's the other one 0:08:10.720 --> 0:08:14.000 that's the scarflat He ran NBA all of the NBA. 0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:17.880 That's right, all of those organizations or the NIH they 0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:23.080 were all lying like lunatics during the whole COVID thing, 0:08:23.120 --> 0:08:25.720 and it's all documented now. As I said last hour, 0:08:25.960 --> 0:08:27.640 I could talk about this every day for the rest 0:08:27.640 --> 0:08:30.680 of my life. I think it's that important. But people 0:08:30.800 --> 0:08:33.720 just they I don't think they want to. Okay, they 0:08:33.800 --> 0:08:35.520 got to stop showing us on TV, or I got 0:08:35.600 --> 0:08:37.320 to turn off the TVs. Have you seen the guy 0:08:37.320 --> 0:08:39.800 fall out of the stands at the Pittsburgh Pirates baseball game. 0:08:39.960 --> 0:08:40.400 I have not. 0:08:42.080 --> 0:08:43.960 I haven't heard if he was drunkard now he had 0:08:44.000 --> 0:08:46.640 to be. No way you fall over the railing like 0:08:46.640 --> 0:08:48.719 that if you're not drunk. Anyway, he lands on the 0:08:48.760 --> 0:08:52.200 field and players start yelling, get somebody out here. Yeah, 0:08:52.200 --> 0:08:55.920 he falls from the upper deck onto the field in 0:08:55.960 --> 0:09:00.760 the outfield. How's their stadium shaped well in such a 0:09:00.840 --> 0:09:06.480 way that you fall on the field. Well, clearly, Yeah, 0:09:06.520 --> 0:09:08.880 twenty feet two stories, which is far enough, especially if 0:09:08.880 --> 0:09:11.560 you land more or less on your head. How long 0:09:11.600 --> 0:09:13.640 does it take to get to terminal velocity? You took 0:09:13.679 --> 0:09:15.960 more math at it. I think thirty feet if I 0:09:15.960 --> 0:09:17.840 remember right, So it wouldn't have been a terminal velocity, 0:09:17.880 --> 0:09:22.120 but you've been going to he was hummed. Yeah, it 0:09:22.160 --> 0:09:25.440 looks he just kind of like arms is his side, 0:09:25.600 --> 0:09:28.600 leans over the railing and then just tumbles forward all 0:09:28.640 --> 0:09:30.240 the way to the As a guy who has a 0:09:30.280 --> 0:09:33.400 fear of falling in precipices, I don't need that. 0:09:34.040 --> 0:09:34.640 Yikes. 0:09:35.160 --> 0:09:37.520 Well, they start putting seat belts in those seats at 0:09:37.600 --> 0:09:40.000 major league sports sporting events. 0:09:39.720 --> 0:09:42.360 They need to require it shoulder belts as well. Almost 0:09:42.400 --> 0:09:49.000 certainly drunk, right, I don't know it's stumble. 0:09:49.160 --> 0:09:52.760 You'd just step on like a slick hot dog wrapper 0:09:52.800 --> 0:09:55.240 that has mustard on. You could step on a slick 0:09:55.320 --> 0:09:58.760 hot dog wrapper. Yes, Katie, I'm. 0:09:58.760 --> 0:10:01.840 I'm watching this video right now. If this looks intentional 0:10:01.880 --> 0:10:04.800 to me like he was trying to kill himself, well, 0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:08.080 he was sitting and then he stands up and he 0:10:08.559 --> 0:10:10.120 launches himself over the ram. 0:10:10.360 --> 0:10:12.120 It does look like he just leans forward with his 0:10:12.240 --> 0:10:14.440 arms at his side and goes over, unless he like 0:10:14.880 --> 0:10:19.160 passed out or so drunk he fell over, which Joe 0:10:19.200 --> 0:10:20.720 and I were in a football game one time where 0:10:20.720 --> 0:10:24.000 a guy fell right in our laps completely over. If 0:10:24.000 --> 0:10:26.000 he had been going forward with a railing, he'd had 0:10:26.120 --> 0:10:27.520 tumbled onto the field. 0:10:27.760 --> 0:10:28.800 Right, or maybe you know. 0:10:28.880 --> 0:10:31.640 The Pirates had met on second and third with no outs, 0:10:31.640 --> 0:10:33.520 and he said to his companion, tell you what, they 0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:35.920 don't score a run again this inning, I'm killing myself. 0:10:36.679 --> 0:10:39.040 Sure enough, hitt into a quick double play, then a strikeout, 0:10:39.040 --> 0:10:39.760 and he said, that's it. 0:10:39.840 --> 0:10:40.240 I'm done. 0:10:40.360 --> 0:10:42.760 Executive producer Hanson has looked over the video like there's 0:10:42.760 --> 0:10:45.480 a pruder film, same conclusion. Katie thinks it was on purpose. 0:10:45.960 --> 0:10:48.080 I said, goodbye, crew, were a what I'm going to 0:10:48.120 --> 0:10:51.640 dive onto the field. That's an interesting way to go out. 0:10:54.559 --> 0:10:58.480 It's possible he's suicidal and stupid, because that's a true 0:10:58.720 --> 0:10:59.880 stupid way to do it. 0:11:00.200 --> 0:11:00.520 True. 0:11:00.760 --> 0:11:04.240 Ah, people jump off bridges. 0:11:05.679 --> 0:11:06.920 Oh yeah, but that'll kill you. 0:11:08.360 --> 0:11:13.920 Throwing yourself onto an outfield, well generally, right. You know what, 0:11:13.960 --> 0:11:16.319 I want a really bad shoulder injury. Here I go. 0:11:17.040 --> 0:11:19.480 I doubt that's it, all right?

I need 0:12:35.960 --> 0:12:41.000 a place to crash as you're building allaw iguanas. Full disclosure, 0:12:41.000 --> 0:12:42.160 I can't afford underwear. 0:12:43.320 --> 0:12:43.800 God. 0:12:44.640 --> 0:12:47.640 It's not a charitable view of your average strip club patriot. 0:12:47.840 --> 0:12:54.520 Although for the name the moniker Gentleman's club Jack, because 0:12:54.559 --> 0:12:58.160 everyone I've seen in one is a real gentleman. So 0:12:58.280 --> 0:13:02.959 The Washington Post has an interesting story today about Sean P. 0:13:03.160 --> 0:13:10.120 Diddy Combs speaking of debauchery right and there are I 0:13:10.120 --> 0:13:14.000 didn't realize this. He's in jail. There's a decent chance 0:13:14.000 --> 0:13:16.400 he's gonna be in jail for the rest of his life. 0:13:16.559 --> 0:13:19.679 He's got the sex trafficking and all the different charges. 0:13:19.840 --> 0:13:24.559 There are seventy different cases after this one that he's 0:13:24.600 --> 0:13:30.440 going to be dealing with. Seventy seven zero. Wow, that's incomprehensible. Yeah, 0:13:30.520 --> 0:13:34.200 it really is. So I'll just give you the opening 0:13:34.240 --> 0:13:37.360 part for the Washington Post. And really their point is 0:13:38.880 --> 0:13:42.040 everybody more or less new this was his lifestyle, but 0:13:42.200 --> 0:13:44.559 just thought, man, what are you gonna do? I guess 0:13:45.760 --> 0:13:48.120 he was like a king of Old, like a Caligula. 0:13:48.360 --> 0:13:52.080 They talk about this woman, Tania Wallace. Oh, I haven't 0:13:52.080 --> 0:13:54.000 seen a picture of but I'm guessing is very hot. 0:13:54.040 --> 0:13:56.040 That's how you end up in this situation. In late 0:13:56.120 --> 0:13:59.720 twenty twenty two, which wasn't very long ago, Sean Combs 0:13:59.760 --> 0:14:02.839 got into trouble. A man in the Los Angeles approached 0:14:02.960 --> 0:14:07.120 Tania Wallace with an offer. The man was a scout 0:14:07.480 --> 0:14:13.120 for Soft White Underbelly. That is a YouTube channel about 0:14:13.160 --> 0:14:17.640 people struggling with issues of abuse and addiction. Anyway, Wallace, 0:14:17.720 --> 0:14:23.560 an aspiring singer or model or actress or whatever you 0:14:23.600 --> 0:14:26.400 are as a young hot woman in Los Angeles. In there, 0:14:26.440 --> 0:14:28.960 thousands and thousands of them also made some money with 0:14:29.000 --> 0:14:32.200 some sex work and agreed to go get her picture 0:14:32.240 --> 0:14:34.840 taken or whatever. In the interview with The Washington Post, 0:14:34.920 --> 0:14:39.600 she recounted an incident where the Crown Prince of Brunei, 0:14:41.120 --> 0:14:45.400 once she got into this orbit, flewor from Los Angeles 0:14:45.440 --> 0:14:47.800 to Miami with the promise of helping her singing career. 0:14:48.480 --> 0:14:50.880 So if you're an out of work wanna be hotty singer, 0:14:50.960 --> 0:14:53.040 and the Crown Prince of Brunei says, yeah, I'll fly 0:14:53.160 --> 0:14:55.520 you to wherever I'm going to help you. 0:14:55.800 --> 0:14:57.480 I mean, who are you going to say no to that? 0:14:58.200 --> 0:15:01.360 Well, and you're already sharing your favors with fellas for 0:15:01.480 --> 0:15:04.760 various forms of renumeration, why not you know what the heck? 0:15:04.800 --> 0:15:06.840 Maybe you could get your singing career gone. Not that 0:15:06.880 --> 0:15:10.880 I approve, I just get it anywhere anyway, crowns Principle 0:15:11.440 --> 0:15:13.200 flies her from LA to Miami with a promise of 0:15:13.240 --> 0:15:15.240 helping her singing career. Once there, he took her to 0:15:15.280 --> 0:15:18.720 a party on Star Island, an uber exclusive man made 0:15:18.880 --> 0:15:22.400 enclave home to celebrities such as Rick Ross, retired basketball 0:15:22.400 --> 0:15:25.960 star Shaquille O'Neil, and Shawan Didty Combs, The music mogul 0:15:26.040 --> 0:15:28.360 was throwing a party. Security guards took her phone before 0:15:28.400 --> 0:15:31.040 she could wander through the property. She entered quite a scene, 0:15:31.080 --> 0:15:35.320 as she described the Washington Post, Topless waitresses served drinks 0:15:35.320 --> 0:15:39.000 by the pool. Inside woozy parter, goers were having sex 0:15:39.040 --> 0:15:42.280 and nobody was really even paying any attention. Wallace eventually 0:15:42.360 --> 0:15:46.160 encountered Sean Combs outside on a patio. At some point, 0:15:46.280 --> 0:15:47.920 she says, he started masturbating. 0:15:49.640 --> 0:15:54.400 It's got a party. Prince Abdullah Zima Brunei, who was 0:15:54.440 --> 0:15:56.000 thirty eight years old. What's really funny? 0:15:56.040 --> 0:16:00.600 As they described this as an exclusive place. Yeah, I'd 0:16:00.680 --> 0:16:03.560 rather go somewhere less exclusive, where people aren't doing that. 0:16:03.840 --> 0:16:05.480 So the ground where it's ben I says, hey, you 0:16:05.480 --> 0:16:10.440 want to go to Cuba tomorrow? I was freaked out. 0:16:10.800 --> 0:16:14.520 She got away from it and never became like a 0:16:14.640 --> 0:16:17.800 victim of any of this, but witnessed a bunch of it. 0:16:18.160 --> 0:16:21.280 So she was one of the people that had the 0:16:21.360 --> 0:16:24.800 spidy sense or good judgment or upbringing or whatever. When 0:16:24.840 --> 0:16:27.040 the Crown Prince had I says, hey, let's go to 0:16:27.080 --> 0:16:29.960 Cuba tomorrow, probably to get into a different country where 0:16:29.960 --> 0:16:33.600 they have different laws and rules. And she said no, 0:16:33.600 --> 0:16:37.240 no thanks and went back home. But she's interviewed by 0:16:37.280 --> 0:16:40.040 the Washington Postman. But and again, one of the points 0:16:40.040 --> 0:16:42.280 being there were tons and tons of people that had 0:16:42.360 --> 0:16:43.960 encountered all this, and it had been going on, and 0:16:43.960 --> 0:16:46.000 everybody kind of knew he was living this lifestyle. Was 0:16:46.080 --> 0:16:48.480 just like, again, what are you gonna do? That's Shawn 0:16:48.520 --> 0:16:51.200 Combs being Shawn Combs. On the other hand, she just 0:16:51.240 --> 0:16:53.840 released a hit record I saw did He Waxing His 0:16:53.960 --> 0:16:58.320 Dolphin by the Sea. It's number three in streaming this week, 0:16:58.400 --> 0:17:02.120 Jack till Waltz. Oddly enough, Yes, strangely so, the US 0:17:02.200 --> 0:17:05.440 military is changing its game as quickly as possible. 0:17:05.680 --> 0:17:08.800 New frontiers and warfare, drones and more. We'll talk about 0:17:08.840 --> 0:17:11.840 it in moments, Armstrong and Getty. 0:17:13.400 --> 0:17:15.480 You know, we don't have a challenge with the innovation. 0:17:15.600 --> 0:17:19.200 The innovation's happening down with our soldiers. We're changing formations 0:17:20.119 --> 0:17:22.760 right now. We had an exercise where we had more 0:17:22.760 --> 0:17:25.280 than two hundred drones in a brigade combat team. We're 0:17:25.320 --> 0:17:28.520 watching what's happening. We know we need to change, and 0:17:28.560 --> 0:17:30.320 you know, if there's one thing we just can't go 0:17:30.440 --> 0:17:32.240 fast enough, we got to speed that change. 0:17:32.320 --> 0:17:35.600 General Randy George on Fox and Friends today talking about 0:17:35.640 --> 0:17:38.560 the military modernizing to try to keep up with the 0:17:38.640 --> 0:17:41.960 reality of new warfare that everybody on the planet is 0:17:42.040 --> 0:17:48.760 watching happen before our eyes in Ukraine and Russia. Indeed, Yeah, 0:17:48.800 --> 0:17:51.160 and more on that specifically in a moment, but first, 0:17:51.160 --> 0:17:54.640 in a more general look at the situation. I thought 0:17:54.640 --> 0:17:57.119 it was interesting that the Wall Street Journal editorial board 0:17:57.840 --> 0:18:00.840 was quite blunt in discussing, but I think it's good news. 0:18:00.840 --> 0:18:03.719 The House Senate Armed Services Committee has unveiled plans for 0:18:03.760 --> 0:18:07.000 a one time one hundred and fifty billion dollar increase 0:18:07.560 --> 0:18:10.440 in defense spending as part of a reconciliation bill. 0:18:10.480 --> 0:18:11.920 Whether it passes or not, who knows. 0:18:11.960 --> 0:18:15.720 But the striking part to me was that the Journal said, 0:18:15.760 --> 0:18:18.000 and I think they're quite correct, it's early good news 0:18:18.000 --> 0:18:21.679 that includes a cash infusion to arrest US military decline. 0:18:23.840 --> 0:18:27.600 They just stated as fact that our military is in decline, 0:18:28.400 --> 0:18:30.439 and they go on to say the US military spending 0:18:30.480 --> 0:18:34.359 is that historic at a historic lows. A share of 0:18:34.400 --> 0:18:38.359 the economy and America lacks the ammunition, hardware and up 0:18:38.359 --> 0:18:41.440 to date technology to prevail over an access of adversaries. 0:18:41.640 --> 0:18:45.240 Well, you could be in decline in a number of ways. 0:18:45.280 --> 0:18:47.239 You could be in decline because the current stuff you have, 0:18:47.320 --> 0:18:49.320 you know, it's breaking down and you're not replacing it 0:18:49.400 --> 0:18:51.440 or fixing it, or training is poor. You could also 0:18:51.520 --> 0:18:54.240 be just right on top of it and everything is great, 0:18:54.320 --> 0:18:58.760 but you're in decline because warfare has changed drastically in 0:18:58.800 --> 0:19:01.040 the last couple of years and you haven't changed with it. 0:19:01.280 --> 0:19:03.480 You're pretending that when you go to war it's going 0:19:03.560 --> 0:19:06.200 to be an old timy war and not the new 0:19:06.240 --> 0:19:07.000 modern war. 0:19:07.840 --> 0:19:08.440 Right right. 0:19:08.560 --> 0:19:10.720 And interestingly, a lot of the money is going to 0:19:10.800 --> 0:19:13.439 ship building, which is still important. I hope a lot 0:19:13.480 --> 0:19:17.480 of that is unmanned vessels. A future of everything is drones. Again, 0:19:17.560 --> 0:19:21.320 more on that in a second. Munitions, the Pacific Forces, homeland, 0:19:21.400 --> 0:19:24.120 missile defense, and a few other things. But I think 0:19:24.160 --> 0:19:27.640 that's overdue and necessary. But to the drone thing, well, 0:19:27.680 --> 0:19:31.840 I keep mentioning this Ukraine podcast I listened to the 0:19:31.920 --> 0:19:35.000 other day where a guy who ran Ukraine's military for 0:19:35.040 --> 0:19:38.080 a while put out a paper basically saying warfare has changed, 0:19:38.080 --> 0:19:41.000 and here's how. And he said, big ships are useless. 0:19:41.000 --> 0:19:45.679 Now Russia's super high tech warships are hiding in docks 0:19:45.760 --> 0:19:47.479 because if they go out at all, they get attacked 0:19:47.520 --> 0:19:48.679 by drones and sunk. 0:19:50.160 --> 0:19:50.560 Wow. 0:19:50.640 --> 0:19:53.639 Now the technology might be coming to deal with the 0:19:53.720 --> 0:19:55.919 drones and then the ships are a go again. But 0:19:55.960 --> 0:20:00.800 for right now, tanks and ships don't really go out 0:20:00.800 --> 0:20:01.439 and do anything. 0:20:01.880 --> 0:20:02.560 Boy, that's a. 0:20:02.480 --> 0:20:07.040 Great illustration of the challenge of the thing. Wow, yeah, 0:20:07.080 --> 0:20:09.399 ships are out. Wait a minute, we figured out how 0:20:09.440 --> 0:20:11.639 to fend off drones. Get those ships oiled up and 0:20:11.680 --> 0:20:12.640 back out on the sea. 0:20:13.119 --> 0:20:14.359 Yeah. Crazy. Oh, speaking of. 0:20:14.320 --> 0:20:16.160 Which, and I'm gonna do this just so I don't 0:20:16.160 --> 0:20:18.960 forget a handful of folks, we were discussing how that 0:20:19.520 --> 0:20:22.800 sixty seventy eighty million dollars fighter jet fell off an 0:20:22.840 --> 0:20:25.679 aircraft carrier, and we were talking about how swiftly an 0:20:25.680 --> 0:20:28.600 aircraft carrier might turn and that sort of thing. A 0:20:28.640 --> 0:20:33.320 handful of our beloved listeners sent us videos of modern 0:20:33.359 --> 0:20:39.399 aircraft carriers executing emergency turns, and it is stunning, It 0:20:39.600 --> 0:20:45.760 is mind blowing. These gigantic vessels are seriously listing to 0:20:45.800 --> 0:20:47.879 one side and turning like a speedboat. 0:20:48.200 --> 0:20:48.520 Wow. 0:20:48.760 --> 0:20:52.080 Okay, So it is possible that it was the sharp 0:20:52.119 --> 0:20:54.960 turn that caused the plane, the big one that was 0:20:55.000 --> 0:20:58.680 pulling the plane, and the plane rolled off the side 0:20:58.720 --> 0:21:01.639 and fell in. But well, obviously there's got to be 0:21:01.640 --> 0:21:04.080 a failing on some level. Otherwise every time they did this, 0:21:04.119 --> 0:21:05.919 all the planes would fall right. That was gonna be 0:21:05.960 --> 0:21:09.359 my point. Having to turn sharply in a war is 0:21:09.400 --> 0:21:11.600
