Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty arm Strong
Speaker 1: and Getty, and he Armstrong and Yetty.
Speaker 2: The Ittems two reached two hundred and fifty two thousand,
Speaker 2: seven hundred and fifty six miles from Earth, or, as
Speaker 2: The New York Times helpfully put it this morning, if
Speaker 2: you took twenty two inch docksons and laid them nose
Speaker 2: to tail, you'd need seven hundred and twenty eight million
Speaker 2: dogs to cover the distance. If you took one of
Speaker 2: the docksoons on a brisk three mile per hour walk,
Speaker 2: you'd need to walk for more than eighty four thousand
Speaker 2: hours to get there. Man, Americans will do anything to
Speaker 2: not use the metric system.
Speaker 3: Wow, Colbert re embracing being funny. That's a good joke.
Speaker 1: I've never quite understood why everybody thinks that's a better
Speaker 1: way to give you an idea of distance. That's if
Speaker 1: you stacked pancakes, you'd take eight trillion pancakes. Cat can't
Speaker 1: wrap my head around that. That doesn't help me any
Speaker 1: more than miles.
Speaker 3: Right, more than eight I just get dizzy to eat pancakes.
Speaker 1: It is funny.
Speaker 3: If you laid dollar bills and ten stretched around it,
Speaker 3: We'll do anything to avoid the metric system. That's pretty funny.
Speaker 3: That is really funny.
Speaker 1: Hey, come up, here's your latest update. We'll get to
Speaker 1: this later. What's going on with the ceasefire? Iran has
Speaker 1: halted traffic in the straight of horse moves, according to CNN,
Speaker 1: and Trump has said no fire and on Hesbela is
Speaker 1: not part of the piece deal. That's a completely separate thing.
Speaker 1: So he's on board with Israel attack and Hesbela, which
Speaker 1: to me means this ain't going anywhere. But we'll see
Speaker 1: coming up at the bottom of the hour.
Speaker 3: A truly powerful gender bending madness update. I'll present this
Speaker 3: without comment. Colorado's free healthcare program for illegal immigrant pregnant
Speaker 3: persons and children costs seven times more than budgeted. There
Speaker 3: you have it, all right, all right, So this is
Speaker 3: an interesting story and kind of inspiring in a way.
Speaker 3: I think maybe you first need to understand the way
Speaker 3: this uh.
Speaker 1: This computer hack. It's a college student who stopped a massive,
Speaker 1: massive computer disaster. Hack hackers hackers.
Speaker 3: Hate hacks has to do with residential proxy networks, and
Speaker 3: there are dozens of companies around the world that run
Speaker 3: these networks that are made up of your phones, computers,
Speaker 3: video players. Their processing power is sometimes you sign up
Speaker 3: for this, many many times you don't. Is used like
Speaker 3: in the dark of the night by res proxy companies
Speaker 3: that rent out access to Internet connections on the devices
Speaker 3: to customers who want to look like they're surfing the
Speaker 3: Internet from a genuine home address. It's kind of similar
Speaker 3: to a what do you call it, but it's abused
Speaker 3: like crazy around the world.
Speaker 1: I didn't know that. So one of the many books
Speaker 1: I've read about AI, one of their worst case scenario
Speaker 1: chapters was AI harnessing all the power in all our
Speaker 1: computers and everything like that, right in a way that
Speaker 1: I never didn't know as possible or none that thought of.
Speaker 1: But I didn't know companies already do that. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: a great illustration of what that is.
Speaker 3: Yeah, indeed, So, so you want that anonymity. It's useful
Speaker 3: for people who want privacy, or for companies that want
Speaker 3: to masquerade as regular people to test out Internet feed
Speaker 3: for instance, for a particular region, or scrape the web
Speaker 3: for data. AI companies use the networks to get around
Speaker 3: blocks on automated traffic so they can gather large amounts
Speaker 3: of data to train their models. And then there are
Speaker 3: customers who want to hide their identity because they're ticket scalping,
Speaker 3: defrauding banks, calling in bomb threats, stalking, child exploitation, hacking,
Speaker 3: or espionage. So in other words, it can be legit,
Speaker 3: but it is just abused like crazy by really evil
Speaker 3: So that primer aside, or do you say primmer? You
Speaker 3: got this college student at the Rochester Institute of Technology
Speaker 3: in Rochester, New York, Benjamin Brundage, It sounds like a
Speaker 3: character in a movie. He was closing in on a
Speaker 3: mystery that even seasoned Internet investigators had left them baffled,
Speaker 3: and a cat meme helped him crack the case. So
Speaker 3: a network of hack devices was launching the biggest cyber
Speaker 3: attacks ever seen on the Internet, biggest one ever. It
Speaker 3: had become the most powerful cyber weapon ever ever assembled,
Speaker 3: large enough to knock a state or even a small
Speaker 3: country offline, and investigators didn't know exactly who had built
Speaker 3: it or how. And Brundage, she was a tech student
Speaker 3: and a computer whiz, had been following the attacks to
Speaker 3: between classes and was conducting his own investigation and In September,
Speaker 3: the college senior started messaging online with an anonymous user
Speaker 3: who seemed to have more knowledge than a person ought
Speaker 3: to have about the attack, as they.
Speaker 1: You're close to getting to a portion where you could
Speaker 1: just start quacking or barking and I would understand it
Speaker 1: as well, what's going on here? We need a young
Speaker 1: person to explain this story to Jack stat.
Speaker 3: Okay, So anyway, college kids aware of this giant super
Speaker 3: cyber attack and is intrigued. I want to know how
Speaker 3: they did it too, or how they were about to
Speaker 3: do it. So he's chatting on discord with a bunch
Speaker 3: of you know, hackers and programmers and computer whizzes, and
Speaker 3: he comes across a guy you've seen a.
Speaker 1: Human who wait a minute, how does he know that?
Speaker 3: Brundage started to think, but he didn't want to come
Speaker 3: He wanted more information because he thought I'm onto something,
Speaker 3: but he didn't want to come off as too serious,
Speaker 3: so he shut down the conversation. Then, every now and
Speaker 3: and then he'd send a funny jiff to lighten the mood,
Speaker 3: including a cat's owner adjusting a necktie on a cat.
Speaker 1: Just hilarious.
Speaker 3: This guy's this brandage chap his savvy, his emotional intelligence
Speaker 3: is what really impressed me about this.
Speaker 1: He'd think a cat with a necktie. I know these
Speaker 1: are odd times.
Speaker 3: Cats are so formal, but if things were starting to
Speaker 3: get serious, he'd say, I gotta go.
Speaker 1: He'd cut it off. Then he'd send a cat freaking
Speaker 1: gift for Jeff.
Speaker 3: Brundage was fluent in the memes, jokes and technical jargon
Speaker 3: popular with young gamers and hackers who are extremely online.
Speaker 3: He says quote, it was just a bit of just
Speaker 3: asking over and over again, then being like a bit unseerious.
Speaker 3: At one point he asked for some technical details. He
Speaker 3: followed up with a cat meme, a six second clip
Speaker 3: that showed a hand adjusting a necktie on a fluffy
Speaker 3: gray cat. Brundage didn't expect it to work, but he
Speaker 3: got the information. It took me by surprise. He said
Speaker 3: that the cattle wedding to go to. It's not clear
Speaker 3: to me, but the cat is wearing both the black
Speaker 3: necktie and a white collar. Eventually, the leaker hinted that
Speaker 3: there was a new vulnerability on the Internet. Brundage, who
Speaker 3: was twenty two, would learn it threatened tens of millions
Speaker 3: of consumers and as much as a quarter of the
Speaker 3: world's corporations. As he unraveled the mystery, impressed veteran researchers
Speaker 3: with his findings, including federal law enforcement, which took action
Speaker 3: against the network a couple of weeks ago. A researcher
Speaker 3: at a giant computer company that does this sort of
Speaker 3: thing joked at one point that the entire Internet could
Speaker 3: go down if Brundage spent too much time studying for
Speaker 3: his exams.
Speaker 1: Wow. Wow, so savvy as that kid. Someday the whole
Speaker 1: Internet's going to go down, or all of airlines know,
Speaker 1: a major, major attack somewhere in the world, all over
Speaker 1: the world, and it might be China, or as Trump
Speaker 1: famously said, some three hundred pound guy in his basement
Speaker 1: just knows how to do it. Yeah, especially given the nature.
Speaker 3: Of this, the adjoining together of the devices that I
Speaker 3: was talking about, the residential what do you call it.
Speaker 3: It was a couple of years ago that Nokia's sensors
Speaker 3: had picked up a series of increasingly powerful cyber attacks
Speaker 3: coming from devices that hadn't previously been considered dangerous, called
Speaker 3: a distributed denial of service or d DOOS attacks.
Speaker 1: We've all heard of those.
Speaker 3: I think there were massive floods of junk Internet data
Speaker 3: designed knock websites offline by overwhelming the data pipes that
Speaker 3: connected them, sometimes launched by extortionists or even business rivals,
Speaker 3: but Nokio saw hundreds of thousands of devices joining in
Speaker 3: these attacks. One unprecedented attack leader in the year on
Speaker 3: internet service provider cloud Fair was quote comparable to the
Speaker 3: combined populations of the UK, Germany and Spain all simultaneously
Speaker 3: typing a website address and then hitting enter.
Speaker 1: At the same second. Wow. Yeah.
Speaker 3: The network, which would become known as kim Wolf, which
Speaker 3: sounds like an anime cartoon for adolescent girls, seemed to
Speaker 3: be using residential proxy connections to launch its attacks, giving
Speaker 3: it the potential to do massive damage. The basic message
Speaker 3: was be afraid, said one computer expert. Anyway, craziness.
Speaker 1: I've got a chat GBT being sued over something. Another
Speaker 1: one of those kind of stories, this time around a
Speaker 1: school shooter who may have got advice from chat GBT
Speaker 1: on how to pull off a school shooting. Right, did
Speaker 1: that happen or not? And you got the gender bending madness.
Speaker 1: We had a lot this hour. I hope you can
Speaker 1: stick around. So Trump with a true social post just
Speaker 1: a few minutes ago that might help explain what's going
Speaker 1: on with the confusion, because a lot of the things
Speaker 1: being said about the supposed cease fire deal don't add up.
Speaker 1: So something doesn't something doesn't square right. So Trump posted
Speaker 1: this and I have lost it. Well, that is unfortunate.
Speaker 1: I will find it in seconds to you.
Speaker 3: Yet another kink in the quest for peace. Jack's misplacing
Speaker 3: of the annalymis.
Speaker 1: Trump said just a few minutes ago. Numerous agreements, lists,
Speaker 1: and letters are being sent out by people that have
Speaker 1: absolutely nothing to do with the USA Iran negotiations. In
Speaker 1: many cases, they are total fraudsters, charlatans, and worse. I
Speaker 1: don't know what's worse than a fraudster or charlatan, or
Speaker 1: what the difference between those two things are. They will
Speaker 1: be rapidly exposed after our federal investigation is completed. There
Speaker 1: is only one group of meaningful points that are acceptable
Speaker 1: to the United States, and we will be discussing them
Speaker 1: behind closed doors during these negotiations. In other words, that
Speaker 1: you know, all the stuff that you're hearing about, this
Speaker 1: is Iran's plan and this is ours plan. They don't
Speaker 1: match up everything, Trump saying that's not true. You're hearing
Speaker 1: all this kind of stuff and it's crap.
Speaker 3: But they'll be negotiating something behind closed.
Speaker 1: Doors, and Hegzev said early or Iran's lying about all
Speaker 1: kinds of different things. So I.
Speaker 3: My guess would be on this is that there are
Speaker 3: separate groups. We're dealing with some group that thinks that
Speaker 3: they're in charge in Iran, and there's some other group
Speaker 3: that doesn't agree with that group in Iran, different power
Speaker 3: center that's putting out all this information.
Speaker 1: To try to blow up the deal. Yeah, that'd be
Speaker 1: my guess. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I think the bottom line is there's just so much
Speaker 3: uncertainty and so much conflicting information. The best you can
Speaker 3: do is lay out these few possibilities might be happening,
Speaker 3: but it's impossible to choose a favorite.
Speaker 1: We just don't have enough info. Came across this the
Speaker 1: other day. I thought it was interesting in terms of
Speaker 1: the world in war and that sort of thing. Most
Speaker 1: of my life it was a fact that the United
Speaker 1: States spent more on its military than every other country
Speaker 1: in the world added together, which was always a stunning
Speaker 1: fact to me. That is how you end up with
Speaker 1: the being the supreme power on planet Earth when you've
Speaker 1: spent more on your military than any other country added together.
Speaker 1: When I was originally thinking about that, learning about that
Speaker 1: when I was much younger, it was about the understanding
Speaker 1: that Europe lives off of our military, so they don't
Speaker 1: have to, right. But China started spending more money on
Speaker 1: their military, so that is not any more completely true.
Speaker 1: But next year's budget, if we go through with the
Speaker 1: twenty twenty seven budget, it will once again we will
Speaker 1: be spending more on our defense than every other country
Speaker 1: in the world added together, including China and Russia. That's something.
Speaker 1: Is that what we need to do to continue to
Speaker 1: have the dominance that we have. I don't know who knows,
Speaker 1: all right, it's a great question. Don't forget a lot
Speaker 1: of those defense dollars go to keeping the economic might
Speaker 1: of the United States intact because there's a rules based
Speaker 1: international order more or less, more or less about as
Speaker 1: best as you can get or hope for the entire
Speaker 1: world other than us, this year spent one point one
Speaker 1: six trillion dollars, little over a trillion dollars. We spent
Speaker 1: nine hundred and twenty one billion, little under a trillion dollars,
Speaker 1: which is stunning, and China makes up about a quarter
Speaker 1: of a trillion. Lot of countries they're incredible spending. Lately,
Speaker 1: it's still that much less. A lot of countries just
Speaker 1: do not spend that much money on defense. And because
Speaker 1: I'm re listening to this book about when Eisenhower was president, man,
Speaker 1: he really you know his famous speech that he gave
Speaker 1: going out the door about the beware of the military
Speaker 1: industrial complex. He really really is a guy had been
Speaker 1: in the military his whole life and run it at
Speaker 1: the highest level. Did not trust the Pentagon to not
Speaker 1: always present the worst case scenario and try to convince
Speaker 1: legislatures that we absolutely got to have this weapon, give
Speaker 1: us the mind because you know, it's the only thing
Speaker 1: that's keeping us from the Soviet Union overrunners. And I
Speaker 1: fully didn't trust the generals to not give him the
Speaker 1: straight scoop on that sort of stuff all our Congress service, Senator.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, of course he didn't trust the politicians, but
Speaker 1: he also didn't trust the generals to not be honest
Speaker 1: with him. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Wow, that's the great pushing pull of warfare. There's always profiteering,
Speaker 3: always well, and yet not all war exists to help
Speaker 3: the profiteers, as some people would have you believe.
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, man, figuring that out as a democracy, how
Speaker 1: hard is that? Because you'd have people in the Pentagon, generals, whatever,
Speaker 1: who fully believe you need this expensive weapons program, who
Speaker 1: think we probably don't need this, but it'd be better
Speaker 1: to have it than not. And then people that absolutely
Speaker 1: know we don't need this program, but you know, my
Speaker 1: home district cares about it or whatever, and everything in between.
Speaker 1: I'm not how you deal with that.
Speaker 3: So, getting back to the total expenditure on the military,
Speaker 3: what's the dollar cost of No, it's a currency. Sometimes
Speaker 3: there's a principle in economics I can never remember for
Speaker 3: some reason, and I've got a mental block, but that
Speaker 3: one thousand dollars in China buys you the same thing
Speaker 3: as four thousand dollars in the United States, and their
Speaker 3: wages are one quarter, but their buying power is roughly
Speaker 3: equal if you measure it in this way. So it
Speaker 3: could just be that everything's more expensive in the US,
Speaker 3: including our armaments. I don't know exactly, because it's an
Speaker 3: international market. I have a feeling there's something in there,
Speaker 3: but I'm too old and lazy to relearn all those
Speaker 3: formulas they tried to teach me. Second note, there's an
Speaker 3: opinion piece written by Gillian Melchior, who what's her credential?
Speaker 3: London based member of the Wall Street Journal's editorial board.
Speaker 3: She went along with a NATO drone war exercise in
Speaker 3: Estonia and came away thinking, we're making progress, but we
Speaker 3: are nowhere near ready, especially the European militaries. And what
Speaker 3: I was going to say earlier was, you know, they
Speaker 3: depended on our security dollars, our military spending to protect them,
Speaker 3: and what really pisses me off is that they spent
Speaker 3: those savings on the magic beans of socialism and net
Speaker 3: zero climate crap, and now they're helpless.
Speaker 1: I hope we're spending our pentagon dollars wisely. We got
Speaker 1: some damn shocking stuff for you next, Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 1: Why I keep our eye on the ceasefire. If anything happens,
Speaker 1: we'll let you know. Still a lot, a lot, a
Speaker 1: lot of unknowns.
Speaker 3: But first, it's a gender bending madness update.
Speaker 1: So I kept hearing about this thing called the loco.
Speaker 1: We're a brave world, first of all, just a brief mention.
Speaker 1: That's as I said earlier today.
Speaker 3: The forces of neo Marxism postmodernism haven't paused a bit.
Speaker 3: They're forging ahead. They're trying to grow all this stuff.
Speaker 3: They're just hiding it better. Here's the University of Southern California.
Speaker 3: As a new initiative they're using men will be barred
Speaker 3: from using parts of an on campus gym to make
Speaker 3: women and non binary gym goers feel more comfortable while
Speaker 3: working out. The Student Assembly for Gender Empowerment push for
Speaker 3: the new rules in partnership with the Lion Center, a
Speaker 3: recreational facility controlled by the university.
Speaker 1: See a ban one of the two sexes from being
Speaker 1: in the gym to help the third through fiftieth versions
Speaker 1: of genders.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, you got a combination of real women and
Speaker 3: fake women saying I'm not comfortable working out among a men.
Speaker 1: So okay, all right, super great. And then you've got
Speaker 1: this human, a woman I believe, who is presenting as
Speaker 1: a man.
Speaker 3: A Leish Kazlowski is a Minnesota state representative arguing against
Speaker 3: a bill in Minnesota that would bar boys from competing
Speaker 3: in girls' sports.
Speaker 1: If you've been in.
Speaker 3: A coma, or we're in a cave, or perhaps Apollo
Speaker 3: mission and just getting back to words, Yes, some states
Speaker 3: let boys play in girls sports if they claim they're girls.
Speaker 1: Here is the representative.
Speaker 4: Talking about how gender binary was brought to these lands.
Speaker 4: Gender binary is a colonial export and not an immutable
Speaker 4: global truth. We do exist and have existence, time and
Speaker 4: memorial simple facts.
Speaker 1: It's a simple fact colonial thing. Okay, wow, Settler colonialism.
Speaker 1: It's the gender binary is part of that. That's actually
Speaker 1: how the whole neo Marxist thing works.
Speaker 3: It's you just claim each one is the other one,
Speaker 3: and it's all a web of horrors and you've got
Speaker 3: to be against all of it, the eternal omnik cause
Speaker 3: I wish you luck with your imagined view of the universe.
Speaker 3: So on a less humorous note, this is a a
Speaker 3: young man by the name of Johnny Skinner, and we
Speaker 3: will let you tell his story. Is actually testifying in
Speaker 3: front of the California Legislature, interestingly enough, trying to bring
Speaker 3: some sanity to blue state activism, trying to twist troubled kids'
Speaker 3: minds and convince them that your problem isn't that you're autistic,
Speaker 3: or you're sexually assaulted, or you just a misfit, you're alienated, whatever,
Speaker 3: Maybe you have some mental illness problems.
Speaker 1: That's not your problem.
Speaker 3: The problem is you're the wrong sex, and we're gonna
Speaker 3: help you here at school. We have somebody you'd like
Speaker 3: to talk we'd like you to talk to, and let's
Speaker 3: not tell your mom and dad about it.
Speaker 1: So Johnny Skinner is testifying against that? Or yeah, against that?
Speaker 5: Go ahead, Michael, good afternoon. My name is Johnny Skinner.
Speaker 5: I'm here representing jenspect. When I was young, I was
Speaker 5: a feminine child and I discovered trans influencers online. They said,
Speaker 5: change your body and your life gets better. Don't and
Speaker 5: it gets worse? Or is my doctor told my mom
Speaker 5: I would commit suicide. The medical and mental health providers
Speaker 5: didn't bother to ask why I felt the way I did.
Speaker 5: They poisoned my body with blockers and hormones, arresting my
Speaker 5: puberty and messing with my development. The result, I'm a
Speaker 5: twenty three year old gay man who's never had an
Speaker 5: orgasm and may never experience one. Let that sink in.
Speaker 1: And he goes on.
Speaker 5: I was rendered an orgasmic because once you say you
Speaker 5: could be trans, that's a full stop. No exploration as
Speaker 5: to why is allowed, even if you are a struggling kid.
Speaker 5: The former president OFWPATH, doctor Marcy Bauers, the California surgeon
Speaker 5: who had performed the surgery for Jazz Jennings at seventeen,
Speaker 5: admitted on video that puberty blockers followed by cross sex
Speaker 5: hormones results in no orgasms and stunted genitals. Spin nine
Speaker 5: thirty four guarantees that more people will end up like me,
Speaker 5: the walking but wounded.
Speaker 1: By the way, if you haven't seen this video with
Speaker 1: a Scott Wiener standing there watching this poor guy, talk
Speaker 1: to him, dude, explain yourself.
Speaker 3: Sick, perverse Scott Wiener, Yeah, one of the worst people
Speaker 3: in governments, certainly, mister Skinner goes on.
Speaker 5: I could have been spared all of this if any
Speaker 5: of my therapists would have explored why I felt dysphoric.
Speaker 5: But they never did. They only led me to hate
Speaker 5: my body more. The Supreme Court just ruled in a
Speaker 5: rare bipartisan decision that laws like this our unconstitutional viewpoint discrimination.
Speaker 5: This bill is an attempted workaround that will be used
Speaker 5: to silence therapists who could have helped me avoid the
Speaker 5: irreversible harms to my body and the loss of my
Speaker 5: sexual function. As is the same for many others. So
Speaker 5: today I ask you to extend some empathy to survivors
Speaker 5: like me and vote no for this bill. Thank you.
Speaker 1: Right, as I've said before, I know a therapist who
Speaker 1: says she has talked a number of young people out
Speaker 1: of going down the trans road quite quickly and easily.
Speaker 1: And she knows other therapists who immediately you're off to
Speaker 1: the doctor. Yeah, just you know, you don't you don't
Speaker 1: even question that it could possibly be anything other than
Speaker 1: trans And let's start the medical stuff.
Speaker 3: And as we discussed in the way the Supreme courtoral
Speaker 3: arguments the other day and the ruling the the activist
Speaker 3: transgender crowd call even sayings to what, like what your
Speaker 3: therapist friend would say, why don't we talk about the
Speaker 3: other things going on in your life and what's troubling
Speaker 3: you and maybe hold off on a minute for the
Speaker 3: transgender thing, and just let's talk. They call that conversion
Speaker 3: therapy and outlaw California is trying to keep it outlawed.
Speaker 1: Even getting to the bottom of.
Speaker 3: It's autism. You're a victim of something, it's a mental
Speaker 3: heal problem. Whatever they're trying to outlaw that. It's beyond sick.
Speaker 3: Why are people moving away from California? Well, it's housing
Speaker 3: is expressed.
Speaker 1: No, it's crap like that, it's unconscionable. And Gavin runs
Speaker 1: for president, He's gonna have to answer for some of
Speaker 1: that stuff.
Speaker 3: Well, I would love the conversation to continue before more
Speaker 3: kids are victimized.
Speaker 1: It's just it's horrifying to me.
Speaker 3: It's a gender bending madness update and it's sick. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it's funny, it's cute. Yeah, you're sexy. Four hundred and
Speaker 3: thirty days as a woman chilling for bud light. All right,
Speaker 3: well we can take a break now, cleanse the mood
Speaker 3: a little bit. Everybody taking a little mood cleanser, and
Speaker 3: come back with more.
Speaker 1: I feel like I need more coffee, a little a
Speaker 1: little short of mannic, So I gotta get just a
Speaker 1: little more coffee. It's my favorite feeling. Have either had
Speaker 1: too little coffee or too much. I don't know where
Speaker 1: Jack arms Trump loves coffee. I do. Okay, we'll finish
Speaker 1: strong next.
Speaker 6: But declaring victory and that we're hearing from the Islamic
Speaker 6: Republic of Iran from Iranian state media and some of
Speaker 6: these scenes of Iranians out in the streets of Tehran
Speaker 6: waving their flag, in some cases burning US and Israeli flagged,
Speaker 6: and there is still some skepticism out there. Iran's National
Speaker 6: Security Council put out a statement saying that quote, our
Speaker 6: hands remain upon the trigger, and should the slightest error
Speaker 6: be committed by the enemy, it shall be met with
Speaker 6: full force.
Speaker 1: So that's the most negative view of what happened in
Speaker 1: the last eighteen hours. According to Trump and Pete Hegzeth,
Speaker 1: those kind of statements are coming from the people that
Speaker 1: aren't in charge. I guess is the story the headline
Speaker 1: just down in the New York Times or on leases
Speaker 1: releases ten points that says are basis for ceasefire talks.
Speaker 1: But Hegsath, I'm guessing those include the well, you tell me,
Speaker 1: what are the ten points? Is that the hard line stuff,
Speaker 1: much of it consisted of maximilists demands that look difficult,
Speaker 1: if not impossible, to reconcile with US. Aims. Okay, So
Speaker 1: here's the question of the day. Who's releasing that stuff?
Speaker 1: Because Trump and eggs that are saying that's not who
Speaker 1: we're talking to. We're not talking to those people. Oh boy,
Speaker 1: We're talking to different people. That are actually in charge.
Speaker 1: I don't know whether that's true or not. Why.
Speaker 3: This is a familiar problem to anybody who studies areas
Speaker 3: of upheaval, whether Africa or the Middle East or whatever.
Speaker 3: You're talking to one faction, but the other factions get
Speaker 3: to say.
Speaker 1: I'm not suggesting I think Trump and Eggzeth are lying
Speaker 1: about that. I think they are talking to somebody and
Speaker 1: working out a deal, whether or not that entity actually
Speaker 1: has the ability to hold onto the country and end
Speaker 1: up being the government who knows well, and even if
Speaker 1: they clearly can do all those things, we're in the
Speaker 1: period where the other factions are desperate to communicate the opposite. Sure,
Speaker 1: they'll be putting out statements like I just mentioned. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: a period of upheaval for sure, some serious game throne
Speaker 1: stuff going on there, oh yeah, complete with severed heads. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And so the bad guys, the people that want to
Speaker 1: blow this cease fire up. They want they're happy that
Speaker 1: Israel's still shelling Hezbola probably, and they want this all
Speaker 1: to fall apart, either because they want to run the
Speaker 1: country someday or their actual religious nuts and think this
Speaker 1: is the end times for them, right, Yeah, weird beards well.
Speaker 3: And it's worth mentioning in this TikTok world that if
Speaker 3: this shakes out over the course of the next five
Speaker 3: years and saying people end up in power, that will
Speaker 3: be a remarkably quick and positive outcome history wise.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would say so. So as I mentioned earlier,
Speaker 1: So glad I'm an American. Oh no kidding. I was
Speaker 1: watching this video from Israel. Did you see the woman
Speaker 1: where the woman gets out of her car and a
Speaker 1: shell hits nearby and knocks her down, and then she
Speaker 1: gets up and walks on. Because you know, that's life there.
Speaker 1: There's so many parts of the world where that can
Speaker 1: just happen. And we do you talk about privilege, this
Speaker 1: privilege or that privilege we have ain't gonna get bombed today. Privilege.
Speaker 1: I never have to worry about it. Not a chance
Speaker 1: in hell some other country sends a missile near me
Speaker 1: or my loved ones.
Speaker 3: M that's some privilege. Yeah, speaking of war.
Speaker 1: I mentioned earlier on the show, I'm going to do
Speaker 1: Springsteen concert Springsteen in the EA Street Band Monday night,
Speaker 1: San Francisco.
Speaker 3: He do not hear that email I read to you earlier.
Speaker 3: That's some woman emailed simply said Springsteen sucks. Well, he
Speaker 3: doesn't the entire email, thanks for your His political speeches suck.
Speaker 1: His music, the non political music does not suck. But
Speaker 1: and he's going to do some of both. But uh uh,
Speaker 1: he's doing the West because he's doing and then a
Speaker 1: couple of show, two shows in Los Angeles, I think
Speaker 1: two shows in Los Angeles, which will be huge impact.
Speaker 1: What's your what if you go into a Springsteen concert?
Speaker 1: What song do you most want to hear? I know
Speaker 1: Born to Run is that he puts that in part
Speaker 1: of the finale. I've been looking at the setlist so
Speaker 1: far I could live without seeing hearing that again. But
Speaker 1: you know it's a classic. Yeah, I've always loved that song.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's an interesting and I'm glad my kids
Speaker 1: will get to see it. You know it played live? Yeah,
Speaker 1: music history. I mean, there are very few acts. I
Speaker 1: was trying to pitch this to my kids. There are
Speaker 1: very few acts that have been as big a deal
Speaker 1: for live concerts of Springsteen, Grateful Dead, Springsteen, maybe the Stones,
Speaker 1: I don't know, are they big for their live shows?
Speaker 1: Oh my god? Yeah? Okay, so oh maybe those three.
Speaker 1: Is there anything that's a I don't know what else
Speaker 1: would be in that category. No, No, I mean in
Speaker 1: the history of music. Yeah, yeah, I'm going back to
Speaker 1: Caveman banging on our rocks. Eh, So what songs? I'd have
Speaker 1: to think about that for a little while.
Speaker 3: I'd like freaking love Rosalite Alive. Yeah he's not, which
Speaker 3: is generally the band intros, or it was for many years.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he did that on the tour and I saw
Speaker 1: him twenty years ago and that was pretty awesome. He's
Speaker 1: not doing on this one, but he's doing a couple
Speaker 1: of the other big horn section sing along classics.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 1: He had to knock that one out so he could
Speaker 1: fit in the freaking streets of Minneapolis. That one's gonna
Speaker 1: I'm gonna actually have to leave my seat. Didn't go
Speaker 1: to the bathroom during that one.
Speaker 3: You've got to have long talk with yourself. Don't start
Speaker 3: drinking again, because it could drive you right to the
Speaker 3: edge of sanity. I'll bet it's gonna be worse than
Speaker 3: you're even picturing.
Speaker 1: He opens with war because the videos are out there,
Speaker 1: and he goes out there and he gives a long
Speaker 1: speech about peace and this and that, and the last
Speaker 1: thing we need is war and they launch into it
Speaker 1: and it sounds cool because he's got that giant horn
Speaker 1: section and you know, the whole thing. But shut up, Yeah, hippie,
Speaker 1: that's what I say. Shut up, you hippie. That's what
Speaker 1: I'll chant from my seat with all the other people who,
Speaker 1: if they bought him, you know after market, spent more
Speaker 1: than a thousand dollars for their seats. You know, that's
Speaker 1: just hilarious to me. The hippie socialists playing to people
Speaker 1: who have to spend four figures for as seat, or
Speaker 1: obviously by definition, the elite of this country, and they
Speaker 1: will walk off stage and curse capitalism to each other
Speaker 1: without any awareness of the irony. That's the amazing part
Speaker 1: to me, and get into separate private jets as they
Speaker 1: fly to Los Angeles for the next show. Yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: I just I just I look at people like that,
Speaker 1: almost like a dog. I can kind of communicate with thembody. Oh.
Speaker 1: I was showing a video of the Portland show to
Speaker 1: my oldest son. You could probably guess what he said.
Speaker 1: That's the guy from the Sopranos, the guitar player. That's right,
Speaker 1: I'd say, exactly right. It's hard to not see cyll
Speaker 1: and think, Hey, Tom, I don't know tonge. Oh boy,
Speaker 1: how happy are those guys to get to play again
Speaker 1: and make whatever money they make off of this whole thing?
Speaker 1: They Yeah, they're spending the last fifty years of their
Speaker 1: lives waiting around, sometimes for years of a time. Hey, hunting,
Speaker 1: did the phone ring?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 1: The phone did? I thought I heard the phone ring.
Speaker 1: Thought it might be Bruce announcing another tour. No, okay,
Speaker 1: I guess I'll just go back to whatever dies do
Speaker 1: when I'm not touring.
Speaker 3: Or you pick up the phone and it's Bruce and
Speaker 3: he says, hey, how you doing. Yeah, I'm gonna I'm
Speaker 3: taking a couple more years off you know. Oh yeah, boss,
Speaker 3: that's fine as I totally get that. I understand it completely.
Speaker 1: And you hang up the phone. Oh lo, back to
Speaker 1: the hall depot and put on the orange apron. Wow,
Speaker 1: you think, what's his name? The other guitar player works
Speaker 1: at home depot in between tour. Nil's Nils Gary w
Speaker 1: talent the bassist.
Speaker 7: I could go on, admit me chorus to this history,
Speaker 7: who prologue like your humble patients, prey gently to hear,
Speaker 7: kindly to judge the final thoughts of Armstrong and Daddy East.
Speaker 1: Max Weinberg had that job drumming for Conan all those years.
Speaker 3: Yeah, remember when we used to talk to his daughter.
Speaker 3: She's a reporter for ABC, was it or so? She
Speaker 3: was terrific. Never got to meet the Mighty Max though.
Speaker 1: Unfortunately. Here's your host for final thoughts, Joe Getty, Hey, Michael,
Speaker 1: lead us off. Let's get a final thought from everybody
Speaker 1: on the crew. I'm thinking about you know this whole
Speaker 1: charging a toll for ships to go through.
Speaker 2: Are they going to set up toll booths out in
Speaker 2: the sea where these ships got to line.
Speaker 3: Up, and like show you can get a fast track
Speaker 3: sort of a fast tracked type of thing, exact change only.
Speaker 3: Katie Greener esteemed Newswoman as a final thought. Katie, I'm
Speaker 3: like a broken record. But we talked about In and
Speaker 3: Out earlier, so I'm going today that can't help my.
Speaker 1: Well, you're pregnant, so you're eating for two free pass,
Speaker 1: free pass, so get a double double double yeah. Jack
Speaker 1: a final thought for us, I liked it. In and
Speaker 1: Out had a big sign on their door prior to
Speaker 1: Easter that we we I mean it was a very
Speaker 1: religious statement. A little sign on their door about you know,
Speaker 1: honoring uh Jesus and the resurrection and blah blah blah,
Speaker 1: and we're gonna get everybody the day off and they
Speaker 1: were completely closed on someday. Yeah. Yeah. My final thought
Speaker 1: is too gifted and talented and popular musicians, you bring
Speaker 1: joy and escape to people who have hard lives. When
Speaker 1: you throw politics into it, it ruins that. So don't
Speaker 1: do that. I know you want to. There's lots of
Speaker 1: stuff I want to do, but.
Speaker 5: Don't do that.
Speaker 1: Maybe for the crowd that agrees with them, they enjoy it.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't want to hear it, even
Speaker 1: if I agree with it. Shut up your hippie, I
Speaker 1: want to hear section. Shut up. Armstrong and Getty wrapping
Speaker 1: up another grueling four hour workday.

Speaker 2: I'm strong and the White House is already calling this
Speaker 2: a win for President Trump.
Speaker 1: There was the Iranian regime. President Trump forged this moment.
Speaker 1: Iran begged for this ceasefire, and we all know it
Speaker 1: what comes next, especially militarily. The President of United States
Speaker 1: is not one to mess around, So there is still
Speaker 1: this tension that exists here.
Speaker 6: Iran has been a threat to the United States and
Speaker 6: the free world for forty seven years.
Speaker 1: No longer Armstrong and Getty
