We'll let 51 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 1: you guess which one. I guess it's because the bridge 52 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,359 Speaker 1: of the week to the pot of gold of the week. 53 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,239 Speaker 1: I guess it's because my weekend is roughly the same 54 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 1: amount of work as my weekday. A right, maybe that's yeah. 55 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 1: Cocktails and golf mostly for me these days. My children 56 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 1: are grown. 57 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:13,960 Speaker 2: Uh uh. 58 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 1: I have to buy it, drive to LA and back 59 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:17,520 Speaker 1: to pick up my son from the boy Scout camp. 60 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,919 Speaker 1: So well, I'm not looking forward to that. A lot 61 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 1: of beautiful scenery. 62 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:26,239 Speaker 2: Actually find it. I was. 63 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 1: I was talking to my son and I said, people 64 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,239 Speaker 1: complain about this all the time. I think it's gorgeous, 65 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 1: But I like open fields and stuff like that. That 66 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 1: I'm from the Midwest and that's what we have, open fields. 67 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 1: I think it's beautiful. And oh, it's such an ugly drive. 68 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 1: If it's the time of year where it's all dust 69 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 1: and smog, it's not very nice. But when it's clear, 70 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 1: I think open fields are beautiful. Anyway, nobody tuned in 71 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 1: to hear that he's old enough to hitch you put 72 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 1: your thumb in the air, just keeping shack. He doesn't 73 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 1: care about it getting too b Wednesday. And he likes 74 00:03:58,680 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 1: ugly scenery. 75 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 2: Okay, it's not ugly. 76 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 1: It's beautibjectively ugly if you don't like feelings. But a 77 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 1: lot of stone A lot of people I know, lots 78 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 1: of people like driving through Iowa, Missouri open field just ugly. 79 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 1: I find it gorgeous for some reason. People go to 80 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 1: Ireland or someplace and see open fields and they find 81 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 1: it beautiful. But in the United States it's ugly. I've 82 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,840 Speaker 1: never quite understood that we gotta get more stone fences here. 83 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:27,039 Speaker 1: Maybe it's quaint. My other favorite thing I've come across today, 84 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:31,280 Speaker 1: Politico is reporting that Donald Trump was in sensed when 85 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 1: he saw that Tulsi Gabbard video last week and was 86 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,359 Speaker 1: really pissed off and thought she was out of line 87 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,719 Speaker 1: and how dare she which would have something to do 88 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,039 Speaker 1: with maybe him yesterday on the plane saying, I don't 89 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 1: care what she thinks. That was his own dn I 90 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:50,720 Speaker 1: several months ago. That's odd that he would react that way. 91 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:56,279 Speaker 1: But to the Hiroshima video, Oh I touch you meant 92 00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,600 Speaker 1: that the audio everybody's playing yesterday now, the video that 93 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,280 Speaker 1: they she put out last week. He was incensed when 94 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,239 Speaker 1: he saw that, thought she was incredibly out of line. 95 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 2: I don't understand. I can't see how he wouldn't. 96 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,920 Speaker 1: React to it right, and that would way into him 97 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,160 Speaker 1: being smacked by it, and that would play into him 98 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 1: yesterday saying I don't care what she thinks the way 99 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 1: he did so dispensively. I'm telling you this is the classic. 100 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,320 Speaker 1: I'm not going to be forced into firing somebody. I'm 101 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 1: gonna wait till the dust settles, then I'm gonna fire them. 102 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:26,800 Speaker 2: She's gone. 103 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:33,039 Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, the Daily showed joke on Tulci Gabbard, and 104 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:34,720 Speaker 1: I know some of you don't agree with this at. 105 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 2: All, but was. 106 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:41,160 Speaker 1: That's the advantage of hiring somebody crazy and completely unqualified 107 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 1: is when they make some sort of comment, you can 108 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:47,599 Speaker 1: just say, well, she's crazy unqualified, which he basically said. 109 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 1: You know, he said, I don't care what she thinks. 110 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 1: She's the director of National Intelligence. She's got, in theory, 111 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 1: the most information of anybody on planet Earth to give 112 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:03,920 Speaker 1: to you on any given object. I wonder how forthcoming 113 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:08,279 Speaker 1: the higher levels of safe CI are because she remember 114 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 1: that's a coordinating post. Sure to some extent, it ensures 115 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 1: that information is being shared between agencies and and their 116 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 1: their turf isn't jealously guarded like it used to be 117 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 1: in the past. 118 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 2: Terrible detriment to avoid stove piping. What now stove piping? 119 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,240 Speaker 1: That's what got us in the nine to eleven You 120 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,800 Speaker 1: had you had one intelligence agency that had information and 121 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,240 Speaker 1: their stove pipe, and then another agency that had their 122 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 1: information their stove pipe, and they didn't work together in 123 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,920 Speaker 1: any way. And that's and we could have seen nine 124 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,480 Speaker 1: to eleven comings so that the DNI is actually. 125 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,279 Speaker 2: Hamming up their chimney. That's what she got. 126 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 1: It to the DNI is a reaction to that. But 127 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 1: I'll bet you're right. I'll bet a lot of the 128 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,040 Speaker 1: intelligence people are holding back stuff from her. But you're 129 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 1: right about that. Yeah, I would guess that because they 130 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 1: don't trust her and or agree with her. Now there 131 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 1: are more people I feel like making me this is 132 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 1: Iraq all over again. Weapons of mass destruction argument, partially 133 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 1: with the help of Telsea Gabbert because he got some 134 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 1: people screaming out there, no, they aren't close to a 135 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 1: bomb and bbe says they are. Pete Hegseeth says they are. 136 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 1: I was picturing Colan Powell at the UN with his 137 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 1: little vials. 138 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, the parallels are there. Absolutely. 139 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,240 Speaker 1: I think the facts are different, but that's not a 140 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:31,440 Speaker 1: crazy question to ask, at the very least, also worth remembering. 141 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 1: I think this gets left out of some people's conversation 142 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 1: about Iraq. Satam Mussein's own generals believed they had weapons 143 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:43,040 Speaker 1: of mass destruction? Correct, wasn't just our government making this 144 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 1: crap up in all of his enemies to get oil 145 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 1: or something which we somehow didn't end. 146 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 2: Up with, right right? 147 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 1: There were many moronic arguments on that side of the 148 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 1: page too. So here is your bunker buster fact of 149 00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 1: the day. 150 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 2: Cool. It's designed to. 151 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 1: Blast through two hundred feet of solid rock before it explodes. 152 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:09,680 Speaker 2: Wow, how does it do that? 153 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 1: Just its weighte And then you got a thirty thousand 154 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:17,600 Speaker 1: pound bamuth about to go Kurt blue. Its design is 155 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:21,560 Speaker 1: really interesting, fascinating. It's propulsion systems, Bubba. I've got quite 156 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 1: a bit of information on it. I'm looking forward. 157 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:24,120 Speaker 2: To sharing it. 158 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 1: Although something that weighs thirty thousand pounds falling at maximum 159 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 1: of asault velocity would go quite away down. I would 160 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:36,080 Speaker 1: think on its own, that's heavy, Michael. What weighs more 161 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 1: a pound of lead or a pound of feathers? 162 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 2: A good one, that's a classic. I'd say, lead childhood class. 163 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 2: That's correct. 164 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,719 Speaker 1: Okay, let's start the show officially. I'm Jack Armstrong, He's 165 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:52,079 Speaker 1: Joe Getty on this It is Wednesday, June eighteenth, the 166 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:53,320 Speaker 1: year twenty twenty five. 167 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:55,960 Speaker 2: We are armstrong in getting we approve of this program. 168 00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 1: Let's begin then, officially, according to FCC rules and regulations. 169 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:00,720 Speaker 2: Here we go at Mark. 170 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:02,960 Speaker 3: The Iatola is saying that he's not going to surrender, 171 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:06,320 Speaker 3: even though President Trump has publicly stated that the Pentagon 172 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 3: has him and it's crosshairs.

Ending to that, do you think we and 195 00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:21,080 Speaker 1: or Israel actually know where the Aetola is? They've known 196 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:24,559 Speaker 1: where all these generals are and the scientists. I was 197 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 1: going to say at this point, I would not cast 198 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 1: dispersions towards the Israeli intelligence services. Ability to know where 199 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,680 Speaker 1: anybody is at any given moment is the son of 200 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:38,280 Speaker 1: the Shaw. If you're old enough to remember the Shaw 201 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,319 Speaker 1: by Ryan, who was in charge before the Iranian revolution 202 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,480 Speaker 1: in the Aetola took over in nineteen seventy nine. Is 203 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 1: the son of the Shaw going to end up back 204 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,840 Speaker 1: in charge of Iran. That's the push over the last 205 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:51,800 Speaker 1: twenty four hours. It's an interesting one. So we can 206 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:55,360 Speaker 1: talk about that. We got Ky's headlines. We've got a 207 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:57,440 Speaker 1: bunch of stuff owned. Another thing, Oh, one thing I'm 208 00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:01,680 Speaker 1: actually excited about is our move toward nuclear power. 209 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:03,040 Speaker 2: That Trump's pushing. 210 00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 1: But it's not getting any attention, obviously because we've got 211 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 1: a number of wars going on. 212 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:09,440 Speaker 2: But I do want to talk about that. That's an 213 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:11,000 Speaker 2: interesting story. Love that. 214 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,079 Speaker 1: Yeah, we're some developments in the Diddy trial, a lot 215 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:18,720 Speaker 1: on the way. I hope you can stay here. If 216 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 1: you just look at mainstream media coverage, the cable news anyway, 217 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 1: their big story is the clash between mega isolationists and 218 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,160 Speaker 1: GOP hawks, the Civil. 219 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:34,440 Speaker 2: War and the Republican Party. Okay, funny, you should bring 220 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:34,839 Speaker 2: that up. 221 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:38,600 Speaker 1: I have a recent poll that would suggest that's a 222 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 1: silly headline. Cool, because I'm silly narrative. I assume it's 223 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 1: way more one side than the other. So I can't 224 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,560 Speaker 1: wait to hear that. We've also got Tucker Carlson had 225 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:51,680 Speaker 1: Ted Cruz on his show and got into a little 226 00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,720 Speaker 1: debate with him. And I don't know if Tucker Carlson 227 00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 1: was aware that Ted Cruz was a college debate national 228 00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:59,920 Speaker 1: debate champion, but he was. And Ted Crews doesn't mind 229 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,440 Speaker 1: arguing with anybody. And it's very sprightly. I mean, it's 230 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,680 Speaker 1: it's a good little argument. Excellent final thought before we 231 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 1: get into the headlines. It's just useful let these things out. 232 00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:14,239 Speaker 1: We will have human beings on Mars before my pharmacy 233 00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,160 Speaker 1: is able to coordinate having all three of my prescriptions 234 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,760 Speaker 1: ready at the same time. Humans will colonize Mars and 235 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 1: be playing NBA games before they can get that s together. 236 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 2: Tough, isn't it. It must be beyond the canon of 237 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:31,079 Speaker 2: human kind to figure that out. All right, I'm done. 238 00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 2: Don't get me started on the whole pharmacy thing. 239 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll bet all right, here we go. Let's figure 240 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:36,320 Speaker 1: out who's reporting what. 241 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:40,320 Speaker 2: It's the lead story with Katie Green Katie. 242 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:44,680 Speaker 4: Starting with ABC. War will be met with war. Iran 243 00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,320 Speaker 4: warns the United States. 244 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 2: And what are you gonna use?

Let's just call it the bunker buster. 347 00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:12,000 Speaker 1: Jennifer Griffin of Fox News to tell us a little 348 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:13,920 Speaker 1: bit more about the weapon the decision. 349 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:17,600 Speaker 5: All eyes now on Whitman Air Force Base in Missouri, 350 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:21,040 Speaker 5: home to the B two stealth bombers, which are designed 351 00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:25,560 Speaker 5: to carry two thirty thousand pound GBU fifty seven bunker 352 00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:30,800 Speaker 5: buster bombs. The Massive Ordnance Penetrator or MOP, the only 353 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:35,159 Speaker 5: conventional munition capable of reaching deep underground and into mountain 354 00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:38,760 Speaker 5: sides and hitting the main nuclear site at FORDO, one 355 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:41,800 Speaker 5: hundred and twenty miles south of Tehran and three hundred 356 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:46,040 Speaker 5: feet underground. Usually, the way this works, each B two 357 00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:49,119 Speaker 5: can carry two of these bunker busters, these thirty thousand 358 00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:52,119 Speaker 5: pound bombs. They drop one, then they circle back, or 359 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:55,240 Speaker 5: a second bomber will circle and drop in the same spot. 360 00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:58,680 Speaker 5: So usually it is a two bomb process. 361 00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:00,360 Speaker 2: If you will, a. 362 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,840 Speaker 1: Plane carry sixty thousand pounds of bombs. 363 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:05,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, it's astounding. 364 00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:11,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, the B two stealth bombers are just a spectacular achievement. 365 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:15,920 Speaker 1: But yeah, as we mentioned earlier, this bomb, the Bunkerbuster, 366 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:18,720 Speaker 1: is designed to plummet through two hundred feet of mountain 367 00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:24,960 Speaker 1: rock before it explodes and then it's a massive, massive explosion. 368 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:28,320 Speaker 1: So are we under the impression that there are scientists 369 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:29,960 Speaker 1: down there working right now? 370 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:32,800 Speaker 2: I would schedule my vagation. 371 00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:38,159 Speaker 1: I yeah, I suspect that they're going as fast as 372 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:41,239 Speaker 1: they possibly can, definitely trying to develop a nuclear Well, 373 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:43,080 Speaker 1: I'm going to use my personal day or my spirit 374 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:45,560 Speaker 1: day or whatever the company allows to take the next 375 00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:49,640 Speaker 1: couple of days off. Yeah, not feeling real good. Surelby 376 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:51,080 Speaker 1: right his reign by next Tuesday. 377 00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:51,800 Speaker 2: Yeah. 378 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:54,760 Speaker 1: Military analyst said the large bunkerbuster has the best chance 379 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:56,920 Speaker 1: of getting through to targets like the four to oh 380 00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:01,120 Speaker 1: uranium and Richmond facility, which are on buried under a mountain. 381 00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:03,480 Speaker 2: Good idea on their part. 382 00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:09,359 Speaker 1: And honestly, Mark Kansion, whose job with the military and 383 00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:12,600 Speaker 1: later as a civilian at the Pentagon was matching bombs 384 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:16,439 Speaker 1: to targets, I didn't know that was a gig, but 385 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:19,440 Speaker 1: it makes perfect sense, sure. I mean, you wouldn't shoot 386 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:24,080 Speaker 1: a nine millimeter a bullet at a tank, for instance, 387 00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:26,239 Speaker 1: and you wouldn't try to take out a hut with 388 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:28,040 Speaker 1: something on this sarily large. 389 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:30,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's a good point. Right. 390 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 1: Anyway, He says that the FOIDOH is essentially what it's 391 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:40,440 Speaker 1: designed for. Before bunker busters, the military figured that could 392 00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:44,080 Speaker 1: turn to nuclear weapons to blast through mountains, but that 393 00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:48,960 Speaker 1: is obviously unpalatable for global political reasons. Nobody wants to 394 00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:52,720 Speaker 1: use them for anything, and so the US worked on 395 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:55,679 Speaker 1: a new conventional alternatiment, spent four hundred million dollars to 396 00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 1: develop and define refine the MOP. We now have around 397 00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:03,440 Speaker 1: two twenty of them designed to be delivered once again 398 00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:08,840 Speaker 1: by the B twos. It's quite the tool. Speaking of which, 399 00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:14,600 Speaker 1: turning to the free the tool, what are you supposed 400 00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:17,440 Speaker 1: to just leave that lane there? Yes? 401 00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:19,960 Speaker 2: Among adults go on. 402 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:24,760 Speaker 1: So apparently if we even if we gave that bomb 403 00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:26,879 Speaker 1: to anybody, there isn't anybody else that could drop it. 404 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:28,600 Speaker 1: There's nobody else that's got the plane that could pick 405 00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:31,000 Speaker 1: it up, cary and drop it correct and the pilots 406 00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:34,080 Speaker 1: that know, you know how to do that. I mean, 407 00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:37,760 Speaker 1: I'm not a pilot, but can you imagine flying an 408 00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 1: aircraft and in an instant being suddenly thirty thousand pounds lighter, as. 409 00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:47,000 Speaker 2: In right, right, right, gotta know what you're doing. 410 00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:49,919 Speaker 1: I thought this was an interesting perspective from the free 411 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:53,480 Speaker 1: Beacon should President Trump decide to join Nuclear's military I'm sorry, 412 00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:58,480 Speaker 1: Israel's military campaign. An attack on photo could eradicate decades 413 00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:02,480 Speaker 1: of nuclear no how crippling Taran's ability to build a nuke. 414 00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:05,879 Speaker 1: According to a bunch of analysts and officials they talked to, 415 00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:11,879 Speaker 1: only we possess the advanced bunker busters could wipe out 416 00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:14,120 Speaker 1: a complex underground where Tranto is believed to store its 417 00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:18,280 Speaker 1: most sensitive nuclear equipment. The heavily guarden site contains five 418 00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:22,080 Speaker 1: above ground entrances. According to recent satellite images, they lead 419 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:26,200 Speaker 1: into labyrinthine passageways that reach up to three hundred feet 420 00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:30,040 Speaker 1: below ground, fortifying the site against most conventional weapons in 421 00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:35,720 Speaker 1: Israel's Arsenal three hundred feet So thirty stories underground, I'd 422 00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:37,360 Speaker 1: be a little ooged out having to go to work 423 00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:38,920 Speaker 1: thirty stories underground. Yeah. 424 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:41,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, I've been down in a coal mine, and. 425 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,760 Speaker 1: If you're not prone to freaking out about it, it's 426 00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:49,359 Speaker 1: an uneasy feeling. But well, if you're all prone to 427 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:51,160 Speaker 1: freaking out, you'd freak out. Of course. I've been under 428 00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:56,080 Speaker 1: the ocean a submarine too, and but yeah, it's it's scary. Yeah, certually, 429 00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,800 Speaker 1: if the US is raining down the largest bomb ever built. 430 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,960 Speaker 1: The subways in Russia are super deep like that because 431 00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:06,960 Speaker 1: they're supposed to be a bomb proof for nuclear war. 432 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:09,480 Speaker 1: And when I would go down those escalators, I think 433 00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:11,920 Speaker 1: gees were way down underground, it would freak me out. 434 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:13,320 Speaker 2: Yeah. 435 00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:17,600 Speaker 1: Interesting, So yeah, the plan would be depending on you know, 436 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:20,240 Speaker 1: the particulars the engineers I'm sure are studying the question. 437 00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:27,040 Speaker 1: You'd you'd hit a particular point with the first bunker buster. 438 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:30,120 Speaker 1: It burrows two hundred feet through solid rock, then goes 439 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,960 Speaker 1: kerk Lewis. Then you hit that very same spot with 440 00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,760 Speaker 1: a second one, and then perhaps a third and fourth 441 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:38,879 Speaker 1: and that's how you you know, like like the world's 442 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:43,359 Speaker 1: most explosive mole, you get way way underground to do 443 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:45,040 Speaker 1: catastrophic damage. 444 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:48,160 Speaker 2: The world's most explosive mole. That's right. 445 00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:52,720 Speaker 1: And it's been pointed out that this sort of physical damage, 446 00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:56,159 Speaker 1: on top of the mysterious depths of a number of 447 00:23:56,160 --> 00:24:01,040 Speaker 1: Iran's leading nuclear scientists, it would really set them back 448 00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 1: a very long time. 449 00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:03,679 Speaker 4: You know. 450 00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:07,240 Speaker 1: If I was going to steal man the other side's argument, 451 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:11,800 Speaker 1: part of it would be the argument that this is 452 00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:17,960 Speaker 1: a war of choice and not necessity. I don't agree 453 00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:21,760 Speaker 1: with it. But it would be that they have been 454 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:25,159 Speaker 1: claiming that Iran is like a week from getting a 455 00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 1: nuclear bomb. 456 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:28,120 Speaker 2: It's similar to. 457 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:33,040 Speaker 1: The US debt can't continue to be this, we like this, 458 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:35,840 Speaker 1: It just it can't go on. I've been saying that 459 00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:38,720 Speaker 1: my whole life, and it keeps going on. And they've 460 00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:41,359 Speaker 1: been saying Iran is this close to there, just a 461 00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:43,199 Speaker 1: week away or a month away or whatever they are 462 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 1: from getting a nuclear. 463 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:48,880 Speaker 2: Up and forever. What gives there. 464 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:52,640 Speaker 1: Is somehow get pushed back all the time or were 465 00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:58,200 Speaker 1: they exaggerating then but not now, particularly the particularly BB Yeah, 466 00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:05,120 Speaker 1: oh yeah, yeah, he has an existential motivation to maximize 467 00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:09,879 Speaker 1: the threat, of course, because if he airs five minutes 468 00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:13,280 Speaker 1: to the overly comfortable side of things, ah, they won't 469 00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:16,639 Speaker 1: get one anytime soon. Israel could cease to exist. So 470 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,160 Speaker 1: you know, I'm going to leave him aside. I would 471 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:22,240 Speaker 1: say that, having followed this for years and years, it 472 00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:25,040 Speaker 1: depends who you listen to, what the estimates are, And 473 00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:28,119 Speaker 1: there's a lot of could be because Iran worked very 474 00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:31,480 Speaker 1: hard to keep secrets as well as it could. And yeah, 475 00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:35,119 Speaker 1: there would be agreements and treaties that would slow them down. 476 00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:38,280 Speaker 1: They would give up certain capabilities in return for the 477 00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:40,919 Speaker 1: heat being off. And then you'd try to think, Okay, 478 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:44,000 Speaker 1: how much did they really give off? What are they 479 00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:46,879 Speaker 1: doing behind the give up? Rather, how much are they 480 00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:50,479 Speaker 1: doing behind the scenes to accelerate you know, and we 481 00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:54,080 Speaker 1: don't know about it in violation of the treaty. It's 482 00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:57,200 Speaker 1: a tough tough number to come up with how close 483 00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:59,600 Speaker 1: they actually are. But Ian Bremer, who's a friend of 484 00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:01,560 Speaker 1: the Arms and Getty shows, going on a bunch of 485 00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:05,359 Speaker 1: shows this week saying that bib Net and Yaho's doing 486 00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:06,959 Speaker 1: this because he's in political trouble. 487 00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:10,160 Speaker 2: That's ridiculous. 488 00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:14,080 Speaker 1: Ian Bremmer also tweeted out yesterday, I expect Trump goes 489 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:17,520 Speaker 1: forward with direct military strikes. It's an unnecessary risk. In 490 00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:21,640 Speaker 1: my view, I would advise against it. It's an unnecessary 491 00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:25,800 Speaker 1: risk to try to take out the nuclear weapons facility, 492 00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,920 Speaker 1: as opposed to its unnecessary risk to let it go 493 00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:31,800 Speaker 1: and let them get a weapon. Or does Ian Bremmer 494 00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:34,399 Speaker 1: think they won't. Of course, he's a guy as a 495 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:38,320 Speaker 1: as a you know, more international globalist than I am, 496 00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:41,280 Speaker 1: that you can always make all these international deals that 497 00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:45,640 Speaker 1: international organizations will enforce, and I yes, I just don't 498 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:47,440 Speaker 1: believe that that plays out quite that way. 499 00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:49,160 Speaker 2: Yeah. I really like Ian. 500 00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:53,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, He's a very global think tanky guy. 501 00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:54,280 Speaker 2: Definitely. 502 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,880 Speaker 1: And then one more thing from Ian Bremer's twitter feed, 503 00:26:57,920 --> 00:26:59,600 Speaker 1: which I thought was good because this just came out. 504 00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:03,560 Speaker 1: A poll asks if Americans think the US military should 505 00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:06,280 Speaker 1: get involved in the conflict between Israel and Iran. 506 00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:10,879 Speaker 2: I don't know if I like that wording. You could 507 00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:11,840 Speaker 2: word it should. 508 00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:15,800 Speaker 1: If you worded it, should the United States States help 509 00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,840 Speaker 1: Israel stop Iran from getting a nuclear weapon? 510 00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:21,920 Speaker 2: I think the answer would be a lot different. 511 00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,800 Speaker 1: Then should the US military get involved in the conflict 512 00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:30,359 Speaker 1: between Israel Iran? But currently it's no, sixty percent, yes, 513 00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:34,720 Speaker 1: sixteen Only sixteen percent of people said yes. 514 00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:39,760 Speaker 2: I find that now we should get quote unquote get involved? 515 00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:44,560 Speaker 1: Should the US military get involved in the conflict between 516 00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:46,560 Speaker 1: Israel Ran? Like I said, I think if you worded it, 517 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:50,880 Speaker 1: should the United States help Israel stop Iran from getting. 518 00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:55,440 Speaker 2: A nuclear weapon? Yeah? I think you could flip those numbers. Yeah. 519 00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:58,600 Speaker 1: Interesting. I'm looking at a couple of polls right now. 520 00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:02,000 Speaker 1: They're not poles I'm really familiar with. Here's the gray 521 00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:09,040 Speaker 1: House Poll, the League of American Workers Poll. According to 522 00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:12,000 Speaker 1: this gray House poll whatever that is. Was this about Iran? 523 00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:14,199 Speaker 1: Or is this what's your favorite pie? Is that what 524 00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:17,879 Speaker 1: you're in? Well, I'm getting to that found that eighty 525 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:21,080 Speaker 1: three percent of those voters support the strikes on Tehran's 526 00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:26,159 Speaker 1: nuclear programs Israel's strikes, and ninety five percent approve of 527 00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:30,680 Speaker 1: Trump as the president rallies behind the Jewish state. That's 528 00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:34,760 Speaker 1: a I'm not comfortable commenting on polls I know nothing about. 529 00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:35,440 Speaker 2: Yeah. 530 00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:40,480 Speaker 1: The same poll shortly after, conducted shortly after Israel began 531 00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:42,600 Speaker 1: its war effort, shows that sixty seven percent of those 532 00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:45,400 Speaker 1: who voted for Trump strongly support the attack on Tehran's 533 00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:49,560 Speaker 1: nuclear facilities sixteen percent so they somewhat approve. Well, this 534 00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:52,040 Speaker 1: is this you Go poll, which is a pretty respected organization. 535 00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:54,600 Speaker 1: Only sixteen percent you say yes. But again it's I 536 00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:58,800 Speaker 1: think it's worded in such a squishy way. But that's 537 00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:03,920 Speaker 1: in the indication of how we how let's not get 538 00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:09,800 Speaker 1: involved the Middle East again? We are as a population, right, Yeah, yeah, 539 00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:11,920 Speaker 1: I need to see more poles come out. Honestly, it's 540 00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:14,480 Speaker 1: it's easy to get a distorted sense of who believes 541 00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:17,840 Speaker 1: what through a the mainstream media and B you know, Twitter, Also, 542 00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,920 Speaker 1: this is definitely though, the sort of thing that this 543 00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:22,640 Speaker 1: is why you get paid the big money. Though you 544 00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:24,320 Speaker 1: don't really get paid the big money as president of 545 00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:26,440 Speaker 1: the United States. This is why you get paid the 546 00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:30,120 Speaker 1: big historical value. You're not supposed to do this based 547 00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:31,880 Speaker 1: on the poles. Is this a good idea? 548 00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:32,120 Speaker 2: Not? 549 00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:34,400 Speaker 1: The President's going to make the call. Maybe he already 550 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:37,120 Speaker 1: has in the next day or so. Quick question, what 551 00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:38,080 Speaker 1: is your favorite pie? 552 00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:41,480 Speaker 2: Michael? That's my poll? Banana cream? Banana cream? 553 00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:47,480 Speaker 1: Interesting? Oh, Katie's favorite pie fringe pie. I call it 554 00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:51,800 Speaker 1: forest fruit. But just like a very berry, well you know, BlackBerry, 555 00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:58,360 Speaker 1: multiple berry piek berry. Choose a berry? Joe getty, wishy washy? 556 00:29:58,840 --> 00:29:59,760 Speaker 1: This is so hard? 557 00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:00,520 Speaker 2: Is it? 558 00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:02,480 Speaker 1: Make it your mind? 559 00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:04,640 Speaker 2: It absolutely is? 560 00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:08,120 Speaker 1: She you shut up, berry girl. The powerful tool can't 561 00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:09,280 Speaker 1: come up with his favorite pie. 562 00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:12,240 Speaker 2: It's like beetles or stones. I don't know. Why do 563 00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:14,320 Speaker 2: I have to choose? Why are you making me choose? 564 00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:14,720 Speaker 2: All right? 565 00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:19,479 Speaker 1: Key Lime? I freaking love key lime pie. Oh, says 566 00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:22,320 Speaker 1: you pick a berry. I'm an American, so I'm gonna 567 00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:24,600 Speaker 1: go apple. We've got mail bag on the way. 568 00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:27,120 Speaker 2: Stay here. Thank you for your attention to this matter. 569 00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:34,480 Speaker 1: Yes, Oh my god, I think I'm gonna go to 570 00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:36,800 Speaker 1: Florida with the kids for vacation. We're on vacation week 571 00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:41,160 Speaker 1: after next to Florida when it's super super hot. I 572 00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:45,160 Speaker 1: will go when places are unpleasant to avoid crowds. Kind 573 00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:47,400 Speaker 1: of speaking of that story yesterday about Europe being so 574 00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:49,840 Speaker 1: crowded and people are hating it. Yeah, some of my 575 00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:54,240 Speaker 1: favorite travel memories are exactly the same. You throw on 576 00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:56,080 Speaker 1: a jacket, or you drink a little more of water 577 00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:59,800 Speaker 1: or whatever. It takes, right, and it's the huge throngs 578 00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:04,680 Speaker 1: are not there. Got a lot to talk about. First 579 00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:06,240 Speaker 1: of all, your freedom loving quote of the day. This 580 00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:09,480 Speaker 1: is from the Great Salmon Rush Team. I'm a big 581 00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:12,360 Speaker 1: Rushdie fan. L the way he's a weirdo. He is weirdo, 582 00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:15,160 Speaker 1: and it's a responsive Yeah, he's a brilliant weirdo. 583 00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:16,160 Speaker 2: But that's fine. 584 00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:19,240 Speaker 1: The response of anybody interested in liberty is that we 585 00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:21,960 Speaker 1: all have a say and the ability to have an 586 00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:27,800 Speaker 1: argument is exactly what liberty is, even though it may 587 00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:31,240 Speaker 1: never be resolved. Again, I read that poorly. We all 588 00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:34,200 Speaker 1: have a say and the ability to have an argument. 589 00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:37,760 Speaker 1: That's what liberty is. And in any authoritarian society the 590 00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:40,360 Speaker 1: possessor of power dictates, and if you try to step outside, 591 00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:43,800 Speaker 1: he'll come after you. When Iran decided they wanted to 592 00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:46,880 Speaker 1: kill him for the book, he wrote the number of 593 00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:48,720 Speaker 1: people from. 594 00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:49,880 Speaker 2: Margaret Thatcher too. 595 00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:53,280 Speaker 1: I mean just people you can't imagine who like kinda 596 00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:56,560 Speaker 1: you know, I kind of understand where a Ram's coming from. 597 00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:58,080 Speaker 2: Is just amazing. 598 00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:01,120 Speaker 1: We have been too soft on ra Islam for a 599 00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:03,160 Speaker 1: long time, I would agree. 600 00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:04,080 Speaker 2: Don't get me started. 601 00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:09,160 Speaker 1: That was an early sign of the accommodationist to impulse 602 00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:14,040 Speaker 1: the uh they what they call it appeasement crowd. 603 00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:17,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, mailbag apparely have any time, but we'll squeeze some. 604 00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:19,840 Speaker 1: In drop us note mailbag at Armstrong egetty dot com. 605 00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:24,080 Speaker 1: Next hour, a couple of emails from loyal listeners against 606 00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:28,680 Speaker 1: any involvement in the US helping Israel. We will let 607 00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:31,920 Speaker 1: them steal man their own argument and hash it out 608 00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:36,480 Speaker 1: for we. Here first, this from Aaron.

Looks like this 612 00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:49,680 Speaker 1: sheite is really hitting the fan. Your seventy two virgins 613 00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:51,280 Speaker 1: are all awaiting your chain of command. 614 00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:54,280 Speaker 2: Okay, I'm done your flights. I told you this was 615 00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:56,960 Speaker 2: gonna happen. Wow. 616 00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:00,760 Speaker 1: On the topic of returning to the old bait, we 617 00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:05,240 Speaker 1: talked about yesterday, renaming them for a different guy named Bragg, 618 00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:08,640 Speaker 1: not the Confederate general, a different hero named Bragg. 619 00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:09,600 Speaker 2: He mentioned this. 620 00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:11,760 Speaker 1: About thirty years ago. In my hometown in Louisiana had 621 00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:13,880 Speaker 1: a similar issue. People want to rename the main street 622 00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:15,800 Speaker 1: in the city because the namesake was a slaveholder. 623 00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:18,360 Speaker 2: Too expensive for a little town. So the compromise was 624 00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:19,240 Speaker 2: that the street. 625 00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:21,440 Speaker 1: Was renamed for the man's grandson, who had none of 626 00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:28,400 Speaker 1: the baggage. Solved the pr quandary minimal cost. It's silly 627 00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:32,120 Speaker 1: to me it does. There's more on this topic. Mike 628 00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:34,560 Speaker 1: in Northern Minnesota rights grown up. I had no idea 629 00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:36,840 Speaker 1: who the Armed Forces forts were named after until we 630 00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:39,080 Speaker 1: never brought it to light. Then, as much as I 631 00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:41,160 Speaker 1: hated the Wolke reasoning, it did seem odd that they 632 00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:44,440 Speaker 1: were named after Confederate generals. On a similar note, most 633 00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:47,760 Speaker 1: Northwestern cities are named after prominent officers. 634 00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:48,280 Speaker 2: From Indian Wars. 635 00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:54,080 Speaker 1: Miles City, Montana's General Nelson Miles Sturgis, South Dakota Major 636 00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:57,520 Speaker 1: Samuel Sturgis. Yeah, I did know that. That hang how 637 00:33:57,560 --> 00:33:59,360 Speaker 1: long before the left wants to change those names. I'm 638 00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:01,120 Speaker 1: sure they want to change right now. Yeah, I didn't 639 00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:03,960 Speaker 1: know who the various bases were named for repeating the 640 00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:07,000 Speaker 1: names my whole life. Of course, those generals were not 641 00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:10,600 Speaker 1: in open rebellion against the United States. This is a 642 00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:14,880 Speaker 1: great point from Steve and Everett Washington. The callback to 643 00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:17,560 Speaker 1: previous names of forts like Fort Bragg is important for 644 00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:21,680 Speaker 1: the following reasons. Seventy to eighty percent of new recruits 645 00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:25,600 Speaker 1: have family ties with the military within two generations. According 646 00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:28,920 Speaker 1: to a recent Pentagon report, family history in the military 647 00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:32,120 Speaker 1: is the greatest predictor of whether a candidate will join. However, 648 00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:34,880 Speaker 1: according to a study by Blue Star Families, the likelihood 649 00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:37,400 Speaker 1: that a family member with prior service would recommend the 650 00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:41,319 Speaker 1: military to their children dropped from fifty five percent to 651 00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:45,600 Speaker 1: thirty two percent in seven years. Recently, it is clear 652 00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:48,320 Speaker 1: that the Biden presidency had a negative effect on recruitment. 653 00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:50,440 Speaker 1: I believe part of that is the result of renaming 654 00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:54,000 Speaker 1: the bases for what many veterans perceive as woke reasons. 655 00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:57,279 Speaker 1: If my grandfather and father served at Fort Bragg, I 656 00:34:57,320 --> 00:34:58,760 Speaker 1: want nothing to do with Fort Freedom. 657 00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:00,480 Speaker 2: I want to serve whatd of my family you serve 658 00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:01,120 Speaker 2: Fort Pragg. 659 00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:04,040 Speaker 1: Imagine if your father and grandfather played for the Ohio 660 00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:06,319 Speaker 1: State Buckeyes, but somebody change the team name to the 661 00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:10,719 Speaker 1: Sparkle Ponies. Odds are you'd be less enthused and matriculating 662 00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:12,799 Speaker 1: to that school. The title of his email is the 663 00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:15,799 Speaker 1: Fort Freedom Sparkle Ponies.
