1 00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:06,280 Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 2 00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:10,840 Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe, Katty arms Strong 3 00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:24,320 Speaker 1: and Jettie and no He Armstrong and Yetty. George W. 4 00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:28,960 Speaker 1: Bush speaking at the funeral of Dick Cheney not long ago. 5 00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:31,960 Speaker 2: I'm reminder of Renow Senator who once gave this advice 6 00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:35,519 Speaker 2: to a junior colleague. Perhaps you said you could occasionally 7 00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:44,080 Speaker 2: allow yourself the luxury of an unexpressed thought. Dick Cheney 8 00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:49,199 Speaker 2: was like there, sparing and measured with words, and a 9 00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:53,199 Speaker 2: profession that attracts talkers. He was a thinker and a listener, 10 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:56,760 Speaker 2: and when he do speak up, conveying thoughts in that 11 00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:01,640 Speaker 2: even tone of voice, that orderly, unexcited animal manner, you 12 00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:04,440 Speaker 2: knew you were getting the best of a highly disciplined mine. 13 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,960 Speaker 2: No colleague, no legislator, or no foreign leader who ever 14 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,280 Speaker 2: met Dick Cheney ever doubted that they were dealing with 15 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:13,200 Speaker 2: a serious man. 16 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:18,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, I heard you've all. Levin one of the heroes 17 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:23,280 Speaker 3: to conservative writers out there. He was a young staffer 18 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:26,960 Speaker 3: and had to bring Dick Cheney up to speed on 19 00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 3: some policy stuff way back in the day. And he 20 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 3: said it was terrifying. Everybody was terrified of talking to 21 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,040 Speaker 3: Dick Cheney. One he was so serious, and two he 22 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:37,000 Speaker 3: was so knowledgeable. 23 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:43,360 Speaker 1: Right, oh, I'm scared thinking about it. And George w 24 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,800 Speaker 1: with a little more insight into his old and close friend. 25 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 2: Dick was funny and easy going in a style that 26 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 2: his public image never caught up with. So we can 27 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 2: all agree, won't your standard issue politician. If Anny voters 28 00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 2: came hoping for a kind word in a hug, they'd 29 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:01,520 Speaker 2: have to settle for the kind word. 30 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 3: I'm always amazed by people like Dick Cheney that they 31 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:09,720 Speaker 3: got elected in the first place, because you can't picture 32 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 3: them doing the normal, raw, raw campaign speech with people 33 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:15,919 Speaker 3: cheering and hands in the air and hugging. 34 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:20,080 Speaker 1: People right right. I don't think he could get elected 35 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,240 Speaker 1: in a variety of states. I think Wyoming was the 36 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 1: right state for him, which is why he moved there. 37 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:32,240 Speaker 1: I think, yeah, yeah, perhaps, yeah. Plus it's just really 38 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:36,919 Speaker 1: nice but a fairly serious people who don't screw around. 39 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 1: They've they've you know, it's the environment is forbidding at times, 40 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,240 Speaker 1: and the work is hard and etc. Etca. So they 41 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 1: liked the cut of his jib. 42 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 3: We talked to the other day about it, and we 43 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:52,680 Speaker 3: posted it on Twitter. The Russian robot that walked out 44 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 3: on stage and fell over. Yeah, I don't know how 45 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 3: many of you've seen that video. There's a new video 46 00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 3: out today, apparently they put out to try to cover 47 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,360 Speaker 3: that one up, where putin watching this robot dance and 48 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:02,679 Speaker 3: it does it fairly successfully. 49 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 1: You're probably trying. 50 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:09,920 Speaker 3: To erase the memory of that Russian robot that teetered 51 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 3: out there right then fell over. 52 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 1: Had dinner last night with a handful of people, including 53 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 1: one gen who lived and worked in Europe for a 54 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,520 Speaker 1: number of years and he's very very knowledgeable about Europe 55 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 1: and European politics and that sort of thing. And he 56 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 1: sent me a link to this news service. It's English 57 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 1: language Russian news, but not from the Kremlin. It's I 58 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 1: think you'd call it free press fans reporting on Russia, 59 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 1: and it's so interesting. Here's one story how Swarovski Optic 60 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 1: is still sending sniperscopes to Russia despite Austria's policy of neutrality. 61 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 1: Life matters more than your wallet, MEDUSA. That's the website 62 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 1: takes a look at the Kremlin's new media guidelines for 63 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 1: spinning Russia's ax hikes really interesting. Speaking of Russia. 64 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 3: So Joe had a story last hour about Chicago's schools 65 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 3: and unions and wasted money that we got quite a 66 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 3: detailed pushback on. Can you bring us up to speed 67 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 3: on that real quick before I read the text? 68 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 1: Oh yeah. The story, which was actually from NBC Chicago, 69 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 1: was about a handful of schools, eight schools that used 70 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:29,160 Speaker 1: a tremendous amount of CPS funds Chicago Public Schools funds 71 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,479 Speaker 1: for out of state overnight travel and including some really 72 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,719 Speaker 1: impressive luxury travel to Hawaii for a four day quote 73 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 1: unquote seminar. How most of the travel they didn't even 74 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 1: start the approval process that's required by the rules. Thirteen 75 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 1: out of fifteen were not pre approved as required. One 76 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 1: trip was even rejected, but the employees went anyway. And 77 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:53,160 Speaker 1: I we suggested that there is no accountability, partly because 78 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,360 Speaker 1: the Chicago Public Schools and indeed the government of Chicago 79 00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 1: Brandon Johnson are completely mobbed up and under the rule 80 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 1: of the Teachers' union. Is that more or less what 81 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 1: you're looking for exactly? 82 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 3: And we got this text which is longer and more 83 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 3: detailed than usual. 84 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 1: So I'm reading it. 85 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:07,920 Speaker 3: Hey, I was just listening to your show because I'm 86 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,159 Speaker 3: forced to by my boyfriend. He listens to your garbage 87 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 3: propaganda every morning, and I. 88 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 1: Want job, sir, well done. She'll come around sooner or later. 89 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,360 Speaker 3: And I went and checked out that Chicago story online 90 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,599 Speaker 3: about the teachers, and it had nothing to do with 91 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,359 Speaker 3: the X. The entire district, has nothing to do with 92 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,280 Speaker 3: the unions, has nothing to do with the Democrats. 93 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 1: It was eight. 94 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 3: Schools out of one hundred and ninety seven or two 95 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 3: hundred or something. I read that a story that actually 96 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,159 Speaker 3: sounded like you were reading directly from it except adding 97 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 3: the words democrats and unions after every sentence. 98 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 1: You guys are effing hacks. You spread propaganda. 99 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 3: I can tell when I listened to you, when you 100 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,599 Speaker 3: guys know you're saying BS. I can tell when you 101 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 3: guys cut out, or change the subject or go to 102 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,039 Speaker 3: a joke so only your fans and your listeners believe 103 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 3: your s Just so you guys know that, just want 104 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 3: to fill you in. Have a great thing day, Armstrong, 105 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 3: and getdy. 106 00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 1: I hope you go off the air soon. 107 00:05:57,880 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 3: I'm thinking the only reason you haven't is because some 108 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 3: he wants you to keep spreading your BS. 109 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 1: Because radio is dead and you suck. Wow. Perhaps if 110 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 1: you'd ever attended a school, you'd be familiar with the 111 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:12,719 Speaker 1: term ad hominem attack. Are you seriously, my darling? I 112 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:16,839 Speaker 1: hope God made you pretty, sweetheart. Are you seriously disputing 113 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 1: the power of the teachers' unions in Chicago? Are you 114 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:24,920 Speaker 1: kidding me? They practically single handedly elected a union hack 115 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 1: as mayor. He's ruining the city, Brandon Johnson. 116 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,440 Speaker 3: Fun Wow, and you were reading from You were reading 117 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 3: from the local NBC news affiliate, which is correct, fairly 118 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:37,599 Speaker 3: unlikely a right wing organization. 119 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:42,680 Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, she's absolutely correct. It is eight schools in 120 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 1: particular that really really built the system. But that does 121 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 1: that does not prove because it was only eight. Therefore 122 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 1: everything else I said isn't true. That's just a logic, 123 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,480 Speaker 1: another logical fallacy. Again, I hope God made you pretty. 124 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 1: Probably did whould? Probably? Why are boyfriends with her? 125 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 3: Because obviously she doesn't agree with his politics and he 126 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 3: listens to us every single day. I think this screed 127 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:14,360 Speaker 3: was at least a little bit of a release valve 128 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 3: of how much she hates the fact that she has 129 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 3: to listen to the show when she's riding in the 130 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 3: car with him. 131 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 1: I hope you go off the air soon. 132 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 3: I'm thinking the only reason you haven't is because someone 133 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,120 Speaker 3: wants you to keep spreading your BS because radio is 134 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 3: dead and you suck. 135 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:31,880 Speaker 1: Yeah wow, so fine argument, sir. 136 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 4: Yes here, I wonder how many boyfriends are looking over 137 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 4: at their girlfriends that listen to the show in the 138 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 4: car like. 139 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:42,240 Speaker 1: You just did she? Yeah, you were you texting a 140 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 1: minute ago. 141 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, you're annoying and kind of hot, and I put 142 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 3: up with it. 143 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 1: So what it was you? Well, here's some more right 144 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:53,000 Speaker 1: wing tripe from NBC Chicago. A spokesperson for the districts 145 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 1: that it is taking the report seriously and intends to 146 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 1: ensure employees act in the best interests of students and 147 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 1: the city going forward. But no, no, that's funny. The 148 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 1: spokesperson for the district must have been misled by our 149 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,120 Speaker 1: fascist right wing nonsense. 150 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 3: I read this story that sounded like the one you 151 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 3: were reading directly. You guys are effing hacks. You add 152 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:21,120 Speaker 3: the words democrat and unions after a resentence. Oh man, 153 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 3: I enjoyed that sort of thing. I don't know why. 154 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 1: And now they've instituted a travel freeze restrictions to all 155 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 1: Chicago public schools funded employee travel, but no, again they 156 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 1: were misled that the actual school district was misled by 157 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 1: my hackery, And I apologize. 158 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 3: I'm always interested by that because I am. I think 159 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:45,840 Speaker 3: maybe I'm wrong. I think that if I was given ah, 160 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 3: what do you call that an expense card, but that 161 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 3: third party spending or whatever, I'm spending somebody else's money. 162 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:57,679 Speaker 3: And I've never really had that situation at all in 163 00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,680 Speaker 3: my career. But if I had that, especially if it 164 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 3: was tax payer money where people aren't paying that much intentional, 165 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,720 Speaker 3: I just feel like I wouldn't abuse it. I wouldn't 166 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,680 Speaker 3: stay in like nicer than I normally do hotels, or 167 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,840 Speaker 3: eat it more, buy more expensive bottles of wine or whatever. 168 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,080 Speaker 1: But I would I'd milk it like a dairy cow. 169 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 1: Are you kidding? 170 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 3: But I had a friend who when we were young, Gladys. 171 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:30,320 Speaker 3: Gladys has carpal tunnel. She hates playing that thing. Hey, 172 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:35,320 Speaker 3: read your contract, huh exactly, take some sign bad villa 173 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 3: or something and play your damn harp. But uh, So 174 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,440 Speaker 3: I had this friend and he got a job. I'm 175 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,000 Speaker 3: going to be very vague, but he got a job 176 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 3: working for an entity that was taxpayer money. He immediately 177 00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:51,120 Speaker 3: started abusing it, like immediately. We were like twenty years old. 178 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:53,439 Speaker 3: I remember the first time.

You'd pay like 183 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 3: an extra twenty cents a gallon because somebody had come 184 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 3: out and puppet for you. 185 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:06,439 Speaker 1: I said, what are you doing? He said, I'm not 186 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:08,439 Speaker 1: paying for this. I thought, wow. 187 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:14,240 Speaker 3: Immediately he thought, I'm going to live a better lifestyle 188 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:16,560 Speaker 3: than I've ever lived in my life because somebody else, 189 00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:17,920 Speaker 3: taxpayers are paying for it. 190 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:24,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, culture upbringing are so powerful.

And I had no idea. 193 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:37,360 Speaker 1: The guy had four kids. I said, wow, hey, I 194 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 1: had no idea. He never mentioned it, and another acquaintance said, yeah, 195 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 1: he doesn't live with them. It's one of those just 196 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 1: just knock swimming up. And you know, we were talking 197 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,760 Speaker 1: about how to both of us.

But for him, 204 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:09,560 Speaker 1: and the point was made, that's what he grew up with. 205 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:17,400 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's sad anyway.

That 263 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:07,160 Speaker 3: was good news. So it's bad news. Here's Trump talking 264 00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:08,559 Speaker 3: about Chairman Powell. 265 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 6: The mortgage rates are down despite the FED. I mean, Scott, 266 00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:15,240 Speaker 6: you got to work in this guy. He's got some 267 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:19,960 Speaker 6: real mental problems. No, he's something wrong with him. I'll 268 00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:22,280 Speaker 6: be honest, I'd love to fire his ass. 269 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 1: He should be. 270 00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:28,080 Speaker 3: Fine, So Powell, he's got to be thinking how did 271 00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 3: I end up in this situation in my life? He 272 00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:34,400 Speaker 3: is probably not going to lower interest rates next month 273 00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,760 Speaker 3: because the job numbers came out today twice as high 274 00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:39,080 Speaker 3: as people were expecting. 275 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:40,440 Speaker 1: So that's good. 276 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,200 Speaker 3: News, but it's bad news if you want in the 277 00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 3: interest rates to go down. 278 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:45,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, I got to take those numbers with a shaker assault. 279 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,880 Speaker 1: But yeah, that's definitely got an influence on the FED. 280 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:54,320 Speaker 1: Something wrong with that guy. Wasn't wrong with the fired's ass, 281 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 1: like talking to it, shure, not very presidential. I'm not 282 00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 1: to speaking of figures of salt, how America's hottest chicken 283 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:06,240 Speaker 1: chain keeps its secret sauce a secret going up? Do 284 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:08,480 Speaker 1: we have time for this? No, we don't. I have 285 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 1: a handful a popery jack if you will, of defense 286 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:19,960 Speaker 1: related stories, military laid stories from the United States. Which 287 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:23,240 Speaker 1: is your priority for when we come back? The lessons 288 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:29,480 Speaker 1: of Ukraine's drone warfare, m Trump, Hegzeth and the new 289 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:34,360 Speaker 1: Arsenal of Freedom. It's about Hegzeth saying this is a 290 00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:36,560 Speaker 1: nineteen thirty nine moment and we've got to be much 291 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:40,160 Speaker 1: more nimble with our military technology. That's a good one. 292 00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:43,320 Speaker 1: Kind of fits in with that first story. The Pentagon 293 00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:48,720 Speaker 1: can't trust GPS anymore. Boy, that's interesting. Is quantum physics 294 00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:49,360 Speaker 1: the answer? 295 00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,640 Speaker 3: Oh wow, I know something about that first story because 296 00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:54,520 Speaker 3: the Secretary of War was on one of the talk 297 00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:56,800 Speaker 3: shows over the weekend talking about how we're trying to 298 00:15:56,840 --> 00:16:00,560 Speaker 3: catch up drone wise, Ukraine is the world world leader 299 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:04,760 Speaker 3: out of necessity, necessity, the mother of all invention. Ukraine 300 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 3: has had more necessity than anybody on planet Earth to 301 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 3: figure out how the drone thing. And they are the 302 00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:11,640 Speaker 3: world leader. You know who's right behind them? Flip in 303 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 3: China and we are way behind China in the number 304 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:17,160 Speaker 3: of drones produced, not even close. 305 00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:20,760 Speaker 1: Yeah. I think part of the problem is, and Pete 306 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:24,320 Speaker 1: Hegswath is dealing with this, is that we are enamored 307 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 1: with the high tech, amazing device, whereas lots and lots 308 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:33,880 Speaker 1: and lots and lots of mediocre stuff is better. Right, 309 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,680 Speaker 1: So China will this particular realm. 310 00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:39,720 Speaker 3: If China at some point sends twenty thousand drones at 311 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:43,400 Speaker 3: an air base that they set up in a bunch 312 00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:45,920 Speaker 3: of containers on some land, they bought right next to 313 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:49,440 Speaker 3: the military installation. All our nuclear missiles are going to 314 00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:49,840 Speaker 3: be of no. 315 00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,920 Speaker 1: Use to stop that, right right, So why don't we 316 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:54,680 Speaker 1: touch on all of those things if we can squeeze 317 00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,400 Speaker 1: them in, including the secret sauce it. I think it's 318 00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:01,240 Speaker 1: Cane's chicken. Cane's chicken. That's my kid's favorite. I've never 319 00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:04,720 Speaker 1: eaten at Cane's chicken.

Oh yeah, the young people love the Canes. 324 00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:18,240 Speaker 1: Chicken, Armstrong and geddy. 325 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:23,399 Speaker 7: Death and destruction in Ukraine at least twenty five people killed, 326 00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:25,960 Speaker 7: eighty wounded as a Russia fire hundreds of drones and 327 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,840 Speaker 7: fifty missiles at the country overnight. A Russian drone cross 328 00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:32,120 Speaker 7: the border with NATO member Romania fighter jets scrambled there 329 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:35,360 Speaker 7: and in next door Poland. Polish airports temporarily closed. 330 00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:41,159 Speaker 3: Yeah, giant giant rocket and drone attack on Ukraine overnight 331 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:43,240 Speaker 3: from Russia killed a whole bunch of people and you know, 332 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:47,480 Speaker 3: blashed an apartment complexes and civilian structures and stuff the 333 00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:48,000 Speaker 3: way they do. 334 00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:52,119 Speaker 1: Jillian Melchior has written a really interesting piece entitled the 335 00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:56,639 Speaker 1: Lessons of Ukraine's drone Warfare, and among other things, she 336 00:17:56,720 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 1: points out that there have been all sorts of drunk 337 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:06,800 Speaker 1: incursions into the airspace of various European countries, from Spain, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Germany, Estonia, 338 00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:12,560 Speaker 1: Poland we've mentioned, and she says Eurof's response has not 339 00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,720 Speaker 1: inspired confidence. Belgium's attempts to jam and shoot down the 340 00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 1: drones were ineffective. Britain and Germany realized a lack of 341 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:22,159 Speaker 1: legal authority could hinder the police or military from taking 342 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:25,040 Speaker 1: the drones down. And in Poland allies used missiles that 343 00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:28,239 Speaker 1: cost around a million dollars or more against drones that 344 00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:33,160 Speaker 1: cost around ten thousand dollars. Meanwhile, in Ukraine, drone warfare 345 00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:37,119 Speaker 1: is evolving with astonishing speed and lethality, and she mentioned 346 00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:40,000 Speaker 1: she was talking to drone experts in Ukraine who said 347 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,359 Speaker 1: the West is so far behind they have no idea 348 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:42,960 Speaker 1: what they're doing. 349 00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:46,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, that's what US Army Secretary Dan Driscoll said 350 00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:48,840 Speaker 3: on one of the talk shows over the weekend, how 351 00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:52,320 Speaker 3: far ahead Ukraine is of everybody, but then just drone production. 352 00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,560 Speaker 3: So we promised we're going to ramp up our drone 353 00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:58,359 Speaker 3: production to about ten thousand a month, which would be 354 00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:01,719 Speaker 3: one hundred and twenty thousand a year China's currently making. 355 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,800 Speaker 3: Remember I just said we're gonna ramp up our production, 356 00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:08,280 Speaker 3: and that's an aspiration to get to one hundred and 357 00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:11,200 Speaker 3: twenty thousand a year. China is currently producing over eight 358 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:12,600 Speaker 3: million drones annually. 359 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:18,280 Speaker 1: Holy cry Yeah, you got to give me a minute. 360 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:21,480 Speaker 3: I know, I heard that number on the Sunday talk show. 361 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:23,480 Speaker 3: I was like, Holy yeah, I said the same thing, Holy. 362 00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:26,520 Speaker 1: Kron, Yeah, you got to give me the standing eight count. 363 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:30,439 Speaker 1: So here are the lessons that the Ukrainians wish the 364 00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:34,640 Speaker 1: West would learn. Number One, drones make battlefields nearly transparent. 365 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:38,280 Speaker 1: You can see everything operationally. It's really hard to keep 366 00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:41,520 Speaker 1: the catch the enemy by surprise, easier to interdict, and 367 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:44,480 Speaker 1: harder to preserve the logistics that support troops at the front, 368 00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,400 Speaker 1: and there are only limited things they can do about 369 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:51,639 Speaker 1: it at this point. With bigger, more useful drones, drones 370 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:55,160 Speaker 1: collect Another lesson, drones collect huge amounts of battlefield information, 371 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:58,439 Speaker 1: but the West needs better tools to analyze that data. 372 00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:02,160 Speaker 1: The stuff we're using right now antiquated, it's not it's 373 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:09,200 Speaker 1: not appropriate. Oh, the West process for identifying your target, 374 00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:11,240 Speaker 1: assigning someone to go after it, and carrying out this 375 00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,600 Speaker 1: strike is too centralized and too slow for the drone era, 376 00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,960 Speaker 1: among other things, says a member of the supervisory board 377 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:21,160 Speaker 1: of the nonprofit that supports the development of this drone 378 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:25,119 Speaker 1: they're talking about. Another lesson, the front line is no 379 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:28,000 Speaker 1: longer a line. Drones have turned it into a kill 380 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:32,040 Speaker 1: zone of about twenty five miles wide. Because forces can't 381 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:34,400 Speaker 1: move safely in big groups or vehicles. Troops now move 382 00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:40,280 Speaker 1: in small numbers. If you picture the Russians like invading 383 00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:43,160 Speaker 1: the Baltic States with a line of tanks. No, it's 384 00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:46,000 Speaker 1: going to be small groups of infantry. 385 00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:49,119 Speaker 3: Couple dudes on motorcys possible if you haven't seen those videos. 386 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:49,880 Speaker 1: That's what they do. 387 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:52,560 Speaker 3: And the fact I think Ukraine did this first and 388 00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:56,639 Speaker 3: now Russia's doing it. Why they're they're putting fiber optic 389 00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,639 Speaker 3: cables on the drones because everybody's figured out the radio 390 00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:02,680 Speaker 3: jam thing for drones, so you have to hardwire them 391 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:06,280 Speaker 3: so you can't interrupt the communication. So have these thin, 392 00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:09,680 Speaker 3: really long fiber optic lines that they attached to the 393 00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:13,200 Speaker 3: drones on both sides now sending them into battle. Yeah, 394 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,399 Speaker 3: it's haste for me to imagine that that works, but 395 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:16,240 Speaker 3: obviously it does. 396 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:18,560 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I've seen it done. It's an enormous rule 397 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:22,119 Speaker 1: of a role rather of a very very fine like 398 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:26,080 Speaker 1: fishing line that they just spool out. It seems crazy, 399 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:29,760 Speaker 1: seems too old school. But back to the front line 400 00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,199 Speaker 1: is no longer a line thought. Several soldiers sketched in 401 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:35,359 Speaker 1: her notebook and new geography the battlefield, marking dots to 402 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:39,480 Speaker 1: represent Ukrainian and Russian positions intermingled within the kill zone. 403 00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 1: One guy for the American Enterprise Institute is dubbed this 404 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:46,520 Speaker 1: a point to list battlefield. It's not about lines, it's 405 00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:51,200 Speaker 1: just little points. Training can't be won and done another 406 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:54,639 Speaker 1: one of the lessons. It's ongoing because drone technology and 407 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:59,720 Speaker 1: tactics can become obsolete in months or weeks. Cost is 408 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:03,920 Speaker 1: king Ukrainians where a Western procurement doesn't yet reflect how 409 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:08,119 Speaker 1: the math favors plentiful, cheap drones over scarce and costly ones, 410 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,879 Speaker 1: as the Poland example. Illustrates that's what China's up to. 411 00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:14,840 Speaker 1: They've learned the lesson tanks and armored vehicles need better protection. 412 00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:19,000 Speaker 1: They're just so vulnerable from above and don't rely on 413 00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:22,240 Speaker 1: a drone wall for air defense. That's how Europeans are 414 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:25,920 Speaker 1: describing their air defense aspirations after Russia did that big 415 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:30,960 Speaker 1: incursion into Poland. She says. The Ukrainian thing is layered 416 00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:34,360 Speaker 1: over distance and altitude, includes a wide range of kinetic 417 00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:37,880 Speaker 1: and electronic countermeasures. The idea is if one defense fails, 418 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,439 Speaker 1: the next may succeed, So it's a gauntlet. 419 00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:43,720 Speaker 3: Now, maybe the most successful drone attack of all time 420 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,560 Speaker 3: was that one that Ukraine pulled off a while back. 421 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:50,520 Speaker 3: Remember they had sent those shipping containers into Russia and 422 00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:52,000 Speaker 3: planted them there, and then all of a sudden they 423 00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:53,800 Speaker 3: opened up and the drones came out and they blasted 424 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:56,520 Speaker 3: all those planes, and it ended up being like one 425 00:22:56,600 --> 00:23:00,880 Speaker 3: hundred and ten million dollars worth of equipment damage or 426 00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:04,600 Speaker 3: destroyed for the cost of tens of thousands of dollars 427 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:08,000 Speaker 3: worth of druns. That's the asymmetry in that whole thing. 428 00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:12,639 Speaker 3: But I feel like one of these days, Russia or 429 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:15,639 Speaker 3: Ukraine or China or somebody is gonna pull off the 430 00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:19,680 Speaker 3: big Iran because they've tried it multiple times. Somebody's gonna 431 00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:22,119 Speaker 3: pull off the big we overwhelmed the system we got 432 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:26,200 Speaker 3: in thing because so far it hasn't happened. They send 433 00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:28,679 Speaker 3: the one hundreds and thousands of drones in like ninety 434 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,879 Speaker 3: percent of them are shot down. Some point, somebody is 435 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:34,240 Speaker 3: gonna get the big win, aren't they. Where they just 436 00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:39,639 Speaker 3: overwhelmed the defenses, whether it's like technologically or just in 437 00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:44,160 Speaker 3: terms of numbers of counter drones and counter missiles and 438 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:49,800 Speaker 3: just like destroy Tel Aviv or Kiev or someplace or 439 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:51,000 Speaker 3: hopefully not Omaha. 440 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:55,080 Speaker 1: Right, yeah, yeah, And we don't have nearly the air 441 00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:58,040 Speaker 1: defenses we need because partly it's such a vast country. 442 00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:01,880 Speaker 1: I mean, that system would be expensive, to say the least, 443 00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:04,480 Speaker 1: although they're working on it, I know. So speaking of 444 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:07,560 Speaker 1: working on it, the editorial board of the journal, says 445 00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:11,520 Speaker 1: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth recently made a bracing remark that 446 00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:15,560 Speaker 1: received almost no attention. He told defense executives in a speech, 447 00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:19,760 Speaker 1: this is a nineteen thirty nine moment, or hopefully in 448 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:24,320 Speaker 1: nineteen eighty one moment, a moment of mounting urgency, and 449 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:27,879 Speaker 1: he was talking about the desperate need to get the 450 00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:31,439 Speaker 1: bureaucracy to move faster in buying everything from drones to 451 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:35,160 Speaker 1: missiles to ships. They bring up this stuff we've all 452 00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:39,360 Speaker 1: heard about Pentagon, woe's late expensive new aircraft carriers, an 453 00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:43,119 Speaker 1: eight thousand percent price markup on a soap dispenser inside 454 00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:46,240 Speaker 1: a C seventeen bathroom, and all sorts of stuff. He says, 455 00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:49,720 Speaker 1: the administration is aiming to build a rebuild the arsenal 456 00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:54,639 Speaker 1: of freedom and the dysfunctions over regulation, diffused accountability, and 457 00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:58,880 Speaker 1: insufficient competition. Every process, every board, every review must justify 458 00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:05,439 Speaker 1: its existence. The Secretary said, I hope he's successful. I 459 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:06,120 Speaker 1: hope so too. 460 00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:08,280 Speaker 3: And that's one of the problems of the You know, 461 00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:12,200 Speaker 3: the Defense Department is always claiming they're underfunded, and now 462 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:14,200 Speaker 3: is the most crucial time ever. 463 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:20,960 Speaker 1: This time it's true, is the thing? Yeah, yeah, I remember, 464 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:23,879 Speaker 1: and I've mentioned this many times, but Robert Gates Fabulous 465 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:28,480 Speaker 1: Autobiography's memoir, it shocked me at the time. He was 466 00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:31,399 Speaker 1: talking about when he's the Secretary of Defense, he couldn't 467 00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:33,560 Speaker 1: get anything done in the Pentagon because it was such 468 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:38,200 Speaker 1: a giant, slow moving bureaucracy, that bureaucrats could stemy him 469 00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:40,440 Speaker 1: and prevent him from doing what he wanted to do 470 00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:43,959 Speaker 1: as the secretary, they just slow walked everything, lost memos, 471 00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:47,960 Speaker 1: didn't return calls. I thought, good lord, that's no way 472 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,399 Speaker 1: to run anything, much less the Department or Defense. If 473 00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:52,399 Speaker 1: it was the Department of the Interior, whatever they do, 474 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:56,240 Speaker 1: that would be bad defense. It's unthinkable. 475 00:25:56,359 --> 00:26:01,879 Speaker 3: Well, the big lumbering giant that is that ends up 476 00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:07,439 Speaker 3: being tied down if you follow the old allegory of 477 00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:10,320 Speaker 3: the Gulliver's travels. 478 00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:13,920 Speaker 1: Little divisions, bastards, little bastards. 479 00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:18,280 Speaker 3: And the quick, nimble, hungrier entity will end up defeating us. 480 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,600 Speaker 1: Yeah. So a final note, one of the stories we 481 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:26,840 Speaker 1: teased was in the Ukraine War, especially Russia is jamming 482 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:33,879 Speaker 1: and spoofing GPS signals so frequently that satellite navigation is 483 00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:36,560 Speaker 1: not dependable, and other potential adversaries like China and North 484 00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 1: Korea possessed similar capabilities. They can render all of our 485 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:46,200 Speaker 1: US drones, aircraft, and ship GPS systems useless. And so 486 00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:51,400 Speaker 1: we are working urgently to develop backup systems. And they're 487 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:53,439 Speaker 1: talking about this experiment at a tiny airport in the 488 00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:56,320 Speaker 1: Australian countryside. Last month, a small plane took off carrying 489 00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:59,920 Speaker 1: a device that could transform how all of our fight 490 00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:04,120 Speaker 1: machines navigated across future battlefields. The flight carried an instrument 491 00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:07,520 Speaker 1: that then, and this is it's funny every time I 492 00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:10,119 Speaker 1: come across a story like this, when you're talking about, 493 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:14,640 Speaker 1: you know, splitting atoms and hydron supercliders and the rest 494 00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,520 Speaker 1: of it, it could be one hundred percent made up 495 00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:21,480 Speaker 1: and I would never know. And then we superclide these 496 00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:24,240 Speaker 1: atoms at a million miles per hour, then measure the 497 00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:29,480 Speaker 1: quatron vector that they traveled. I'm like, duh, okay, I 498 00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:34,639 Speaker 1: get you good anyway. The flight carries an instrument that 499 00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:40,359 Speaker 1: shines lasers at atoms which behave like compass needles to 500 00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:45,520 Speaker 1: measure Earth's magnetic field in real time. Readings from the 501 00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:48,840 Speaker 1: device can be compared to a magnetic field map, helping 502 00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,600 Speaker 1: a user determine their location and offering a backup to 503 00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:56,439 Speaker 1: satellite based navigation like GPS, which is entirely dependent on 504 00:27:56,520 --> 00:28:02,600 Speaker 1: signals to and from satellites. So maybe they're shining lasers 505 00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:05,560 Speaker 1: at adams. Maybe they're not. I don't know. 506 00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:07,639 Speaker 3: Maybe they just ask a guy go up there. And 507 00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:10,800 Speaker 3: take a left turn left at the Big Tree. 508 00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:14,000 Speaker 1: Hey, where are we We're over Adelaide. I think, yep, 509 00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:19,159 Speaker 1: there's the football stadium. Okay. And I remember talking to 510 00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:24,199 Speaker 1: my brother in a completely non classified capacity, as he 511 00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:28,399 Speaker 1: was fairly high up in the United States Navy, talking 512 00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:33,600 Speaker 1: about the challenge of developing communication redundancy because all of 513 00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:36,080 Speaker 1: the you know, all of the message we used to 514 00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:38,760 Speaker 1: communicate with the folks in the field and ships at 515 00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:41,800 Speaker 1: sea can be jammed or screwed around or messed with. 516 00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:43,720 Speaker 1: So if one doesn't work, you got to go to 517 00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:45,760 Speaker 1: level two. If level two doesn't work, you got to 518 00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:49,600 Speaker 1: have a third alternative, and on down the line. And 519 00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:52,160 Speaker 1: how that's getting harder and harder is the technology changes. 520 00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:54,920 Speaker 1: Maybe it's hardwired telephones in the future, like the drones 521 00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:55,760 Speaker 1: you mentioned right. 522 00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:59,360 Speaker 3: And when I was in handwritten notes, when I was 523 00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,959 Speaker 3: reading up back in April, May and June about the 524 00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:06,720 Speaker 3: eightieth anniversary of the end of World War Two, I 525 00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:09,240 Speaker 3: was reading all about our navy, the way we built 526 00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:11,560 Speaker 3: up during World War Two. I mean, we were not 527 00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:15,680 Speaker 3: really very technologically advanced or very good at the point 528 00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:18,160 Speaker 3: when Japan attacked us, but by the end of the war, 529 00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:21,800 Speaker 3: we were so far ahead of everybody else technologically. I 530 00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:24,440 Speaker 3: mean just we're doing things in gold and places, at 531 00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:26,880 Speaker 3: speeds and in ways that just nobody had ever even 532 00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:27,440 Speaker 3: thought of. 533 00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:30,320 Speaker 1: We're so far ahead.
