WEBVTT - Somebody Is Rich & It's Not Me 0:00:01.880 --> 0:00:06.120 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George 0:00:06.200 --> 0:00:10.880 Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong and 0:00:11.000 --> 0:00:17.239 Jetty enough He Armstrong and Getty. 0:00:24.680 --> 0:00:27.720 The US will take over the Gaza Strip and we 0:00:27.800 --> 0:00:30.520 will do a job with it too. We'll own it 0:00:30.840 --> 0:00:34.720 and be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous unexploded 0:00:34.760 --> 0:00:38.200 bombs and other weapons on the site. Level the site 0:00:38.240 --> 0:00:42.040 and get rid of the destroyed buildings, level it out, 0:00:42.159 --> 0:00:46.640 create an economic development that will supply unlimited numbers of 0:00:46.720 --> 0:00:50.200 jobs and housing for the people of the area. 0:00:50.440 --> 0:00:54.040 Worth pointing out. As you can tell he's reading there. 0:00:54.120 --> 0:00:56.880 This wasn't like just something he shot off the top 0:00:56.920 --> 0:00:59.720 of his head. Somebody wrote that, correct, and he walked 0:00:59.760 --> 0:01:01.920 into read it the whole The United States is going 0:01:01.960 --> 0:01:02.920 to take over gozele thing. 0:01:04.360 --> 0:01:07.759 He's half serious about this. 0:01:08.160 --> 0:01:11.280 We're joking last hour about how everybody's freaking out when 0:01:11.319 --> 0:01:13.960 Trump he just he indicates what direction he wants to 0:01:14.000 --> 0:01:17.080 go by making outrageous demands or statements or whatever, and 0:01:17.120 --> 0:01:20.640 then the negotiations begin and it's gonna be fine. It's 0:01:20.680 --> 0:01:22.760 the only thing that keeps HIMSNBC on the air is 0:01:22.800 --> 0:01:25.360 freaking out over what Trump says, for instance, but not 0:01:25.480 --> 0:01:26.000 around here. 0:01:26.120 --> 0:01:27.960 We try to bring you what's happening, then help you 0:01:28.040 --> 0:01:28.840 understand it. If we can. 0:01:30.120 --> 0:01:33.119 I will tell you this as insane as the idea 0:01:33.200 --> 0:01:38.319 of US owning Gaza is. It's been what was described, 0:01:38.319 --> 0:01:42.759 at least in the Wall Street Journal as a closely 0:01:42.880 --> 0:01:47.080 held idea among a small group of senior advisors. 0:01:50.600 --> 0:01:52.320 Now I listened to Trump talk. 0:01:52.200 --> 0:01:54.320 And all like he as a real estate developer, like 0:01:54.400 --> 0:01:57.800 Dick Cheney and some of though there's other names I've forgotten. 0:01:57.960 --> 0:01:59.960 Want to take over a rack that crowd. I mean, 0:02:02.120 --> 0:02:04.000 I can't remember if they named names. I read this 0:02:04.000 --> 0:02:08.359 a couple of hours ago. Taking control of the hotly 0:02:08.480 --> 0:02:10.679 contested territory would put the US at the center of 0:02:10.680 --> 0:02:15.120 the world's most complicated diplomatic and national security conflicts, raising 0:02:15.160 --> 0:02:18.000 the prospect that Trump is signing up for exactly the 0:02:18.080 --> 0:02:20.359 kind of foreign entanglement he told voters he would avoid. 0:02:21.440 --> 0:02:22.919 Well, that is absolutely self happening. 0:02:23.160 --> 0:02:26.600 Taking Gaza and holding it would make a rack seem 0:02:26.720 --> 0:02:28.120 like taking over Nebraska. 0:02:29.880 --> 0:02:33.160 It would certainly be the bet. The best case. It 0:02:33.160 --> 0:02:37.440 would be very similar. Yeah, although it's a much smaller area. 0:02:38.040 --> 0:02:40.720 Definitely that that that's an advantage. But oh my god. 0:02:41.880 --> 0:02:45.000 So it's funny, and it's funny since he said yesterday, 0:02:45.080 --> 0:02:47.600 I didn't even contemplated it in reality because I just 0:02:47.639 --> 0:02:49.399 assume that's not on the table. 0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:51.720 Right and I am. I don't know. 0:02:51.800 --> 0:02:55.440 I'm gonna say two thirds, one third, two thirds is 0:02:55.560 --> 0:02:59.680 all right. He's signaling directionally that the time for farting 0:02:59.760 --> 0:03:05.040 around is over right the Arab Muslim neighboring countries, you're 0:03:05.040 --> 0:03:07.280 not going to turn your back and say it's Israel's 0:03:07.280 --> 0:03:09.800 problem in the US is anymore, you're gonna help us, 0:03:09.880 --> 0:03:12.200 or I'm gonna hurt you, or we're just gonna start 0:03:12.240 --> 0:03:14.080 taking over giant swath's land. 0:03:14.160 --> 0:03:17.440 Yeah, no, I definitely think that's the message. Yeah, that's 0:03:17.480 --> 0:03:18.320 two thirds of it. 0:03:20.120 --> 0:03:22.840 So when the other third of it is that he 0:03:22.919 --> 0:03:26.280 and his advisors have been talking about this, wrote out 0:03:26.280 --> 0:03:29.720 that statement and he was like, you could hear the 0:03:29.919 --> 0:03:33.560 lust in his voice as a real estate developer, because 0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:35.440 you know, if you're not familiar with this, the Kaza 0:03:35.480 --> 0:03:40.840 Strip is an astonishingly valuable piece of land. 0:03:41.120 --> 0:03:42.160 Globally speaking. 0:03:42.640 --> 0:03:46.760 It is a beautiful, temperate, La like climate right by 0:03:46.760 --> 0:03:50.120 the Mediterranean with nice hills and everything. I mean, it 0:03:50.440 --> 0:03:53.120 would be You can't even imagine the value of that 0:03:53.240 --> 0:03:56.760 land if you could get crazy Islam out of it. 0:03:57.760 --> 0:04:00.560 And a third of me here's Trump talking about that, 0:04:00.680 --> 0:04:04.400 and I can hear the excitement in his voice, and 0:04:04.440 --> 0:04:06.160 there's about a third of me that thinks he's at 0:04:06.240 --> 0:04:07.080 least half serious. 0:04:07.480 --> 0:04:10.080 Well, let's hear some more of the Trump stuff so 0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:11.280 we can discuss it all. 0:04:11.360 --> 0:04:13.680 Let it just roll on in order there, Michael. 0:04:13.720 --> 0:04:16.960 This was not a decision made lightly. Everybody I've spoken 0:04:17.000 --> 0:04:20.440 to loves the idea of the United States owning that 0:04:20.520 --> 0:04:23.640 piece of land, developing and creating thousands of jobs. If 0:04:23.640 --> 0:04:26.400 the United States can help to bring stability and peace 0:04:26.400 --> 0:04:27.520 in the Middle East, we'll do that. 0:04:28.080 --> 0:04:29.720 A quick question, where are the people going to be 0:04:30.640 --> 0:04:34.560 when we have it? Somewhere somewhere else? He kind of 0:04:34.600 --> 0:04:35.920 sort of gets to that, doesn't he. 0:04:36.800 --> 0:04:41.520 We should go to other countries of interest with humanitarian hearts, 0:04:41.520 --> 0:04:43.719 and there are many of them that want to do 0:04:43.839 --> 0:04:48.080 this and build various domains that will ultimately be occupied 0:04:48.120 --> 0:04:51.600 by the one point eight million Palestinians living in Gaza. 0:04:52.400 --> 0:04:56.800 Ending the death and destruction and frankly bad luck. This 0:04:56.839 --> 0:04:59.640 could be paid for by neighboring countries of great wealth. 0:05:00.240 --> 0:05:04.720 It could be one, two, three, four, five, seven, eight, twelve, 0:05:04.880 --> 0:05:06.800 It could be numerous sites, so it could be one 0:05:06.920 --> 0:05:09.920 large site, but the people will be able to live 0:05:09.960 --> 0:05:11.120 in comfort and peace. 0:05:12.839 --> 0:05:16.320 To me, that my takeaway yesterday was he's telling Egypt 0:05:16.320 --> 0:05:19.760 and Jordan particularly, you don't get to rile up your 0:05:19.760 --> 0:05:23.400 people anymore about how awful it is for the Palestinians, 0:05:23.720 --> 0:05:27.200 while at the same time not allowing a single Palestinian 0:05:27.240 --> 0:05:29.200 into your country when you're right next door. 0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:33.520 That game is over. Here's the rub. They're smart to 0:05:33.560 --> 0:05:37.720 not let them in. The countries that have tried, you know, Lebanon, Jordan, 0:05:38.360 --> 0:05:39.520 Kuwait at one point. 0:05:39.640 --> 0:05:40.360 You know what they get. 0:05:40.400 --> 0:05:44.880 They get angry Islamist revolutionaries in their country screws up 0:05:44.880 --> 0:05:47.000 their country. Look at the Beirot Civil War if you 0:05:47.040 --> 0:05:50.320 want to, you want to see bloodshed, sectarian bloodshed. So 0:05:50.480 --> 0:05:54.320 that's the rub. There's and it's funny. We have a 0:05:54.360 --> 0:05:57.160 lot of new folks listening new radio stations. Thank you 0:05:57.279 --> 0:05:59.479 very much for being here. Give it a little while 0:05:59.480 --> 0:06:00.880 you get used to it. It's not like a lot 0:06:00.880 --> 0:06:02.640 of talk shows that always try. 0:06:02.560 --> 0:06:07.320 To New Hampshire Hello for Oklahoma City, Yes, and others. 0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:11.840 Oh, from the country, Hello Tulsa, Fort Collins, Colorado? Love 0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:12.880 Fort Collins? Anyway? 0:06:13.200 --> 0:06:13.880 Oh? 0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:15.080 Or were we? Oh? 0:06:15.240 --> 0:06:17.160 A lot of talk show hosts are constantly trying to 0:06:17.200 --> 0:06:19.240 sell you certainty. They know everything all the time, every 0:06:19.240 --> 0:06:23.200 single second. There are times that there is uncertainty. For instance, 0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:26.560 I'm looking through some of the specifics that Trump said, 0:06:26.920 --> 0:06:33.320 and a top advisor said, and and and I don't 0:06:33.320 --> 0:06:39.120 want to be inflammatory, I do, but if you were 0:06:39.160 --> 0:06:43.560 to momentarily take seriously the idea that, Okay, the US 0:06:43.640 --> 0:06:47.640 is gonna quote unquote take over Gaza temporarily, We're gonna 0:06:47.800 --> 0:06:51.719 relocate all the Palestinians, temporarily, find them nice places to 0:06:51.720 --> 0:06:54.560 live in other lands. All right, we're gonna rebuild it 0:06:54.640 --> 0:06:58.720 into a fabulous seaside resort town with jobs for everyone 0:06:58.720 --> 0:07:01.600 and well of plenty. And then uh yeah, yeah, the 0:07:01.640 --> 0:07:05.200 plan is we'll let all the angry, militant Palestinians right 0:07:05.279 --> 0:07:08.960 back in. Now, if you heard that as a realist, 0:07:09.160 --> 0:07:10.040 what would you think. 0:07:11.600 --> 0:07:14.920 What's the last part there? Exactly? They're gonna clear them 0:07:14.920 --> 0:07:15.840 out and not let them back in. 0:07:16.680 --> 0:07:23.480 And Israel having decided post October seventh, something is gonna 0:07:23.520 --> 0:07:28.119 change fundamentally, I mean really really change. We're not going 0:07:28.160 --> 0:07:30.560 to have uneasy peace with people who want to wipe 0:07:30.640 --> 0:07:34.239 us off the map because we're Jews anymore. That's over 0:07:35.600 --> 0:07:38.800 and throughout the history of mankind. And again I'm not 0:07:38.920 --> 0:07:41.400 saying this is true. I'm just saying it's in your 0:07:41.560 --> 0:07:47.600 pie chart of possibilities in the history of mankind. The 0:07:47.640 --> 0:07:52.000 way you settled an intractable situation like that is you 0:07:52.120 --> 0:07:55.320 got rid of the people occupy in that land. 0:07:55.560 --> 0:07:57.920 Where are we supposed to go? I don't know, not 0:07:58.120 --> 0:08:00.800 here in short Israel, And. 0:08:00.840 --> 0:08:02.800 It's ally the United States are going to take over 0:08:02.840 --> 0:08:07.240 that land and assuring a fundamental change of who's in 0:08:07.240 --> 0:08:08.400 what place in the Middle East. 0:08:09.120 --> 0:08:10.480 Well, let me uh with this. 0:08:10.480 --> 0:08:13.400 This was in Mark Alprin's political newsletter this morning, in 0:08:13.440 --> 0:08:17.280 which he wrote his newsletters called the Wide World of News. 0:08:17.320 --> 0:08:20.520 He said, this from a Wide World of News reader, 0:08:21.080 --> 0:08:24.080 one of the smartest and most anti Trump people I 0:08:24.160 --> 0:08:27.240 have ever met, in a series of emails to me, 0:08:27.360 --> 0:08:29.160 and I'll just read a little bit of it. Trump 0:08:29.200 --> 0:08:30.960 made me love him. This is from one of the 0:08:31.000 --> 0:08:34.880 most anti Trump people Alprin's ever met. Wow, Trump made 0:08:34.920 --> 0:08:36.960 me love him. He spoke to the reality of the 0:08:37.000 --> 0:08:40.320 situation that a winning side must now emerge, and it 0:08:40.400 --> 0:08:43.080 must be us. The cycle of killing between jew and 0:08:43.120 --> 0:08:46.120 Arab Muslims must end, and he is Colossus, will make 0:08:46.160 --> 0:08:49.800 it happen. Quite stunning, quite obvious, quite visionary, quite outrageous 0:08:49.800 --> 0:08:53.160 to everyone but me. He's got MSNBC spinning. He stunned 0:08:53.200 --> 0:08:57.240 Bbie and left him speechless. Amazing theater. But the message 0:08:57.280 --> 0:09:01.880 is somebody needs to emerge the victor, and the time 0:09:01.960 --> 0:09:02.400 is now. 0:09:02.880 --> 0:09:05.959 This ends exactly. Yeah, And you know it's funny. 0:09:05.960 --> 0:09:08.560 I've been pitching that idea for a while and some 0:09:08.559 --> 0:09:11.920 people probably think I sound like a lunatic. But Israel's 0:09:11.960 --> 0:09:14.839 peace plan is to defeat their enemies, and defeat them 0:09:14.880 --> 0:09:17.280 to the point that they are no longer an enemy, 0:09:17.280 --> 0:09:20.920 They're not a threat in any way. It's also Homas's plan, 0:09:21.280 --> 0:09:26.440 Rand's plan the other direction. Well, and given that fact, 0:09:27.559 --> 0:09:34.880 Israel's flexibility to like have a a half solution, a 0:09:34.920 --> 0:09:39.520 peace loving patient half solution where they go back to 0:09:39.559 --> 0:09:43.280 something October Sixthy, No, they've decided they're not going to 0:09:43.280 --> 0:09:46.599 do that anymore. What does that look like in reality? 0:09:46.920 --> 0:09:48.760 This is what I've been saying for a long time 0:09:48.880 --> 0:09:51.760 it looks like the complete and total annihilation and or 0:09:51.840 --> 0:09:54.640 removal of those who have vowed to wipe every jew 0:09:54.679 --> 0:09:55.040 off the. 0:09:54.960 --> 0:09:57.000 Face of the map, particularly Israel. 0:09:57.040 --> 0:09:58.960 All Right, that's something we haven't figured out in the 0:09:59.000 --> 0:10:04.720 modern world with a when and you know, uh, video cameras, 0:10:04.840 --> 0:10:08.280 every video cameras everywhere in modern sensibilities and all that 0:10:08.320 --> 0:10:08.880 sort of thing. 0:10:08.960 --> 0:10:11.640 Is wars have always ended when one. 0:10:11.520 --> 0:10:14.040 Side wins to the point that the other side has 0:10:14.120 --> 0:10:16.839 to give up whatever they got to give up to 0:10:17.200 --> 0:10:20.680 make the fighting stop. And we've stopped doing that around 0:10:20.720 --> 0:10:22.400 the world for the most part, except for in like 0:10:22.440 --> 0:10:25.040 your god awful parts of the world where nobody cares 0:10:25.080 --> 0:10:25.600 what happens. 0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:27.079 We've stopped doing that. 0:10:27.240 --> 0:10:30.160 And the only way for this to end is for 0:10:30.200 --> 0:10:32.400 one side to just obliterate the other side. 0:10:32.920 --> 0:10:34.559 I don't know if we can stomach that. I don't 0:10:34.559 --> 0:10:35.720 know if I can stomach. 0:10:35.400 --> 0:10:39.240 That right right, Well, I just think that the Barack Obama, 0:10:39.400 --> 0:10:43.280 John carry Joe Biden, to the extent that he had 0:10:43.320 --> 0:10:47.800 any thoughts, they believe that not only could we eliminate 0:10:48.320 --> 0:10:53.040 unconditional surrender type conflicts mostly which I think is a 0:10:53.080 --> 0:10:56.040 good idea if you can do it diplomatically. Don't kill people, 0:10:56.240 --> 0:10:59.200 don't hurt people, don't wreck their stuff. But they thought 0:10:59.280 --> 0:11:01.280 you could. You could do that completely one hundred percent, 0:11:01.440 --> 0:11:08.000 eliminate wars of annihilation or total victory. It's not realistic. 0:11:08.320 --> 0:11:11.000 Human beings will not cease to be human beings just 0:11:11.000 --> 0:11:16.120 because you want them to stop anyway. Again, though I 0:11:16.160 --> 0:11:22.160 can't decide which of those options Trump is most enthusiastic about. 0:11:22.360 --> 0:11:24.200 The Other thing about Trump is that. 0:11:26.679 --> 0:11:29.720 He is he's a bullet of china shop negotiator, but 0:11:29.800 --> 0:11:31.800 he's very good at a couple of things. Number One, 0:11:32.280 --> 0:11:35.680 he understands one hundred percent where leverage is in a negotiation. 0:11:36.000 --> 0:11:38.720 He is acutely aware of that, like a like a fox. 0:11:39.880 --> 0:11:42.280 And he's also very good at understanding if you're not 0:11:42.320 --> 0:11:45.000 willing to walk away from a negotiation, you have lost 0:11:45.000 --> 0:11:49.680 a significant amount of leverage. And so he will walk 0:11:49.720 --> 0:11:52.200 into something like a bullet or china shop, and he 0:11:52.280 --> 0:11:56.200 has two, three, even four outcomes in mind that might 0:11:56.240 --> 0:11:59.720 be acceptable under certain conditions. And I'm not sure which 0:11:59.720 --> 0:12:02.000 one of these he's most enthusiastic about here, but the 0:12:02.040 --> 0:12:05.240 whole palette is available here. 0:12:06.640 --> 0:12:12.120 How's is Maga World taking him seriously but not literally 0:12:12.240 --> 0:12:15.240 when he says he was asked about we got another 0:12:15.280 --> 0:12:17.360 one here, I know where about a time, but. 0:12:17.520 --> 0:12:19.400 Yeah, I know, I keep rambling going sorry. 0:12:19.559 --> 0:12:23.679 Uh, dang it, we got the three? 0:12:23.920 --> 0:12:25.920 Maybe, yeah, I don't have the right sheet. Go ahead, Yeah, 0:12:25.960 --> 0:12:27.560 go ahead, Michael, mister president. 0:12:27.720 --> 0:12:31.319 Given what you've said about Gaza to the US and troops. 0:12:30.960 --> 0:12:33.880 To help secure the security back. 0:12:33.840 --> 0:12:37.400 There as far as Gaza is concerned, we'll do what 0:12:37.920 --> 0:12:38.720 is necessary. 0:12:39.040 --> 0:12:42.200 I mean, nothing could be less Maga than that, right, 0:12:42.800 --> 0:12:44.720 I mean, that's been his whole thing since before he 0:12:44.760 --> 0:12:49.480 even started running in to twenty fifteen, the stupid wars 0:12:49.559 --> 0:12:51.240 in the Middle East and everything like that. And he's 0:12:52.160 --> 0:12:54.080 he's talking about sending troops to Gaza. How did people 0:12:54.080 --> 0:12:58.400 react to that? I assume you are taking him seriously, 0:12:58.400 --> 0:13:00.400 not literally. You don't think that will ever act really happened. 0:13:00.800 --> 0:13:01.800 That's never gonna happen. 0:13:02.320 --> 0:13:04.600 If I was Tucker Carlson's dog, I'd run for my 0:13:04.679 --> 0:13:07.000 life because he's looking for something to kick right now. 0:13:07.360 --> 0:13:09.199 You can't believe that. What do you think you think 0:13:09.200 --> 0:13:09.560 he means it? 0:13:09.559 --> 0:13:20.720 I don't think he means text line four KFTC. 0:13:16.720 --> 0:13:18.720 That tund that the price of a Super Bowl commercial 0:13:18.960 --> 0:13:21.400 just went up from seven million dollars to eight million dollars. 0:13:21.960 --> 0:13:23.400 Here's an ad that they're planning to run in the 0:13:23.480 --> 0:13:24.120 second quarter. 0:13:24.920 --> 0:13:27.040 Oh my god, why didn't anyone tell us that a 0:13:27.080 --> 0:13:28.240 Super Bowl ad cost. 0:13:28.120 --> 0:13:31.120 Eight million dollars? We don't have eight million dollars. We're 0:13:31.120 --> 0:13:32.840 barely hanging on by a thread over here. 0:13:33.000 --> 0:13:34.920 It was the last time anyone went to a Best 0:13:34.960 --> 0:13:37.320 Buy even we just buy this crap on Amazon. 0:13:37.440 --> 0:13:41.480 Now this also counts as an ad. Oh god, oh god, 0:13:41.559 --> 0:13:47.000 turn away best fine. Imagine that. Well, they didn't really 0:13:47.040 --> 0:13:47.640 think that through. 0:13:51.920 --> 0:13:55.839 Speaking of the Super Bowl, the newest JK. Rowling release 0:13:55.880 --> 0:14:00.000 ought to be Harry Potter in The Secret Playbook. Ooh, 0:14:00.200 --> 0:14:02.200 I was just reading about how the Chiefs have a 0:14:02.480 --> 0:14:04.880 just a The reason they always look so great and 0:14:05.240 --> 0:14:08.480 whoop up on teams in the playoffs after stumbling, fumbling, 0:14:08.520 --> 0:14:12.160 bumbling their way to just barely good enough season. Well, 0:14:12.360 --> 0:14:14.640 they had a wonderful season, but like each individual game 0:14:14.679 --> 0:14:15.319 they would just do. 0:14:15.360 --> 0:14:17.679 Enough to win. Is that they keep all. 0:14:17.440 --> 0:14:21.480 Sorts of clever innovative plays secret. They don't use them 0:14:21.560 --> 0:14:25.000 during the regular season. They have an entire Now it's 0:14:25.040 --> 0:14:26.120 the playoffs playbook. 0:14:26.160 --> 0:14:30.080 Wow, that's a risky maneuver. Seems to be working for him. Yeah, yeah, 0:14:30.120 --> 0:14:30.920 it seems nuts. 0:14:30.920 --> 0:14:34.160 But anyway, speaking of nuts, so perhaps you've heard Donald 0:14:34.240 --> 0:14:36.280 Jay said, the US is going to take over the 0:14:36.360 --> 0:14:38.520 Gaza Strip, won't it. We'll be responsible for it, We'll 0:14:38.520 --> 0:14:41.120 clean it out, we'll rebuild it. Palestinians will go away. 0:14:41.160 --> 0:14:43.440 Then we'll let them back when it's all rebuilt and stuff. 0:14:43.720 --> 0:14:49.080 And it's it's I'm almost certain is straight out of 0:14:49.080 --> 0:14:52.560 the Will Invade Panama playbook. And we got some great 0:14:52.760 --> 0:14:56.400 sensible No, you're not going to be in China's back pocket, 0:14:56.720 --> 0:15:03.920 concessions from Panama, really productive negotiations. I'm pretty sure it's that. 0:15:05.720 --> 0:15:08.400 But for whatever reason, Jack, I'll let you analyze. The 0:15:08.400 --> 0:15:10.720 White House put out multiple pages. 0:15:12.040 --> 0:15:14.960 Just last night. Tonight, President Donald J. 0:15:15.040 --> 0:15:17.000 Trump announced a bold vision for the United States to 0:15:17.040 --> 0:15:19.720 secure lasting piece in Gaza. The definition of insanity is 0:15:19.760 --> 0:15:21.680 doing the same thing over and over again expecting a 0:15:21.680 --> 0:15:24.320 different result. The killing must stop, and President Trump will 0:15:24.320 --> 0:15:27.440 finally ensure there is peace. President Trump's visionary proposal and 0:15:27.440 --> 0:15:31.040 relentless pursuit Piece was immediately praised. Former US Ambassador at 0:15:31.120 --> 0:15:32.800 Israel I'm not going to name some of these people 0:15:32.880 --> 0:15:35.600 just to save time, but Trump's pose USA takeover the 0:15:35.640 --> 0:15:37.600 Gaza strip may sound out of the box, but it 0:15:37.680 --> 0:15:39.800 is brilliant, historic, and the only idea I've heard in 0:15:39.840 --> 0:15:42.000 fifty years that has a chance of bringing security, piece 0:15:42.200 --> 0:15:45.960 and prosperity to this troubled region. Former Deputy National Security 0:15:46.000 --> 0:15:49.400 Advisors said, today we heard President Trump come out and 0:15:49.440 --> 0:15:51.720 say what no American leader has had the courage to 0:15:51.720 --> 0:15:54.000 say before, which is that the United States is willing 0:15:54.000 --> 0:15:55.840 to step in here and play the leadership role we 0:15:55.920 --> 0:16:00.880 need to play. Let's see News Nations Leland. I know 0:16:00.960 --> 0:16:04.440 his act, he's a journalist, but there's a lot of appetite, 0:16:04.480 --> 0:16:06.160 especially in the US, to say the way we've been 0:16:06.160 --> 0:16:08.600 dealing with the past Palestinians for the past fifty years 0:16:08.640 --> 0:16:12.120 hasn't worked. Why not give something new a try. Senator 0:16:12.200 --> 0:16:15.760 Rick Scott A. Most terrorists murdered babies and burned people alive. 0:16:15.800 --> 0:16:17.960 They're evil monsters. Thank god, we finally have a president 0:16:17.960 --> 0:16:20.120 who's committed to standing with Israel and working with NET 0:16:20.120 --> 0:16:22.800 and Yahoo. Get the terrorists out of Gaza, bring every 0:16:22.800 --> 0:16:26.280 hostage home. The list goes on and on, pages of 0:16:26.320 --> 0:16:29.640 statements in support of this policy op including Marjorie Taylor Green. 0:16:29.840 --> 0:16:30.920 Yeah, I don't know. 0:16:30.960 --> 0:16:33.080 I heard a bunch of them, including Lindsay Graham, where 0:16:33.080 --> 0:16:35.240 they're like, yeah, that's an idea. 0:16:39.800 --> 0:16:42.760 I think it is a directional gesture. It is the 0:16:42.920 --> 0:16:44.440 chantic crazy. 0:16:44.920 --> 0:16:46.720 No, I'm not freaking out because I don't think there's 0:16:46.760 --> 0:16:48.280 any chance we're going to take over Gaza. 0:16:48.400 --> 0:16:53.040 So no, no, But what does he really want? What 0:16:53.120 --> 0:16:56.880 he really wants is a serious shakeup of the status. 0:16:56.920 --> 0:16:59.400 Quote what will that look like? If I may quote 0:16:59.400 --> 0:17:01.520 the Spice Girl, tell me what you want? What you 0:17:01.600 --> 0:17:02.400 really really want? 0:17:03.360 --> 0:17:04.320 That's where we have found. 0:17:05.080 --> 0:17:07.000 If you missed your segment, get the podcast Armstrong and 0:17:07.000 --> 0:17:07.840 Getty on demand. 0:17:10.800 --> 0:17:12.280 Armstrong and Getty. 0:17:13.760 --> 0:17:18.520 Must season control of USAID, which provides humanitarian assistance around 0:17:18.560 --> 0:17:21.320 the world, but Musk who is the world riches man 0:17:21.640 --> 0:17:25.719 posting we spent the weekend feeding USAID into the wood chipper. 0:17:25.960 --> 0:17:29.760 The State Department is now starting to evacuate all USAID 0:17:29.960 --> 0:17:34.000 staff who are on foreign assignments worldwide, some fifteen hundred 0:17:34.040 --> 0:17:36.679 to two thousand people. The goal is to bring all 0:17:36.720 --> 0:17:39.640 those workers and their families back to the United States 0:17:39.760 --> 0:17:40.680 by this weekend. 0:17:42.000 --> 0:17:44.400 All of this stuff is unfolding better than I could 0:17:44.400 --> 0:17:48.879 have imagined, a lot of it, including the reaction to 0:17:48.920 --> 0:17:50.919 some of the Doge stuff that's going on. Give me 0:17:50.960 --> 0:17:52.920 a sixty one sixty two back to back there. 0:17:52.960 --> 0:17:56.760 Michael Doze is not a real government agency. Doze has 0:17:56.800 --> 0:18:00.640 no authority to shut programs down or ignore federal law. 0:18:01.760 --> 0:18:05.560 DOJ's conduct, I said, cannot be allowed to stand. 0:18:06.000 --> 0:18:10.720 Watching Elon Musk because he's the guy who's trying to centralize. 0:18:10.160 --> 0:18:13.360 All power behind him, and he hasn't been elected to anything. 0:18:14.480 --> 0:18:18.359 So whatever the Atlantic cover story this month, are they 0:18:18.400 --> 0:18:21.320 a monthly or weekly? It's a website, The Atlantic, the 0:18:21.400 --> 0:18:25.120 Constitutional crisis is here with a picture of Elon staring 0:18:25.200 --> 0:18:26.280 up in the Capitol. 0:18:27.320 --> 0:18:28.680 Constitutional Crisis. 0:18:29.720 --> 0:18:31.520 The part of this that I love is that although 0:18:31.520 --> 0:18:33.360 this is exactly what Trump ran. 0:18:33.280 --> 0:18:37.280 On, right, the reaction to. 0:18:39.320 --> 0:18:42.679 The government and part of the country to wanting to 0:18:42.680 --> 0:18:45.280 get rid of government employees should. 0:18:45.080 --> 0:18:45.920 Tell you something. 0:18:47.040 --> 0:18:50.960 Yeah, why why would you be so resistant? I mean, 0:18:51.000 --> 0:18:53.680 unless it's your sister who's going to lose your job, 0:18:53.720 --> 0:18:55.159 and nobody owns a loser job and have to go 0:18:55.240 --> 0:18:57.280 find another job. I mean, it's not pleasant no matter what. 0:18:57.800 --> 0:19:00.600 But other than that. I mean, why would you be 0:19:00.680 --> 0:19:03.960 against the government shrinking or getting fewer employees, Why would 0:19:04.000 --> 0:19:08.200 why would your immediate reaction be so emotional and fearful. 0:19:10.080 --> 0:19:13.199 Well, that's why the progressive scam, I think is so 0:19:13.680 --> 0:19:16.919 evilly brilliant. They've convinced a large number of people in 0:19:16.960 --> 0:19:20.800 the US. And maybe people are just inclined, you know, 0:19:21.080 --> 0:19:24.280 by their psychology that they were born with to lean 0:19:24.280 --> 0:19:27.320 in this direction. But they've convinced many, many millions of 0:19:27.359 --> 0:19:31.800 people that the government is good and benevolent. It not 0:19:31.920 --> 0:19:34.800 only is meant to solve all of your problems, but 0:19:34.920 --> 0:19:37.840 it will solve all solve all of your problems if 0:19:37.880 --> 0:19:40.560 you give them enough money and enough power. And people 0:19:40.600 --> 0:19:43.920 would hear that couple of sentences, I just uttered and say, yeah, yeah, 0:19:43.960 --> 0:19:46.359 they are here to solve all of our problems. 0:19:46.520 --> 0:19:50.840 Well, for instance, this US AID thing, money we give 0:19:50.880 --> 0:19:53.399 to various countries around the world. And we've heard the 0:19:53.440 --> 0:19:56.240 list in the last week or so about how we 0:19:56.640 --> 0:19:59.080 gave you know, seventy million dollars to Ireland for a 0:19:59.240 --> 0:20:01.440 transgender play. 0:20:01.240 --> 0:20:03.359 Or something like that. But I have more. 0:20:04.720 --> 0:20:09.720 Yes, But now they're talking about recalling thousands of US 0:20:09.800 --> 0:20:13.840 eight employees from foreign countries by Saturday. 0:20:13.720 --> 0:20:16.360 Like fast, you gotta get out. 0:20:17.000 --> 0:20:19.960 Josh Rogan, who we really really like generally, but I 0:20:20.240 --> 0:20:23.040 don't like his take on this. ABC reporting that State 0:20:23.080 --> 0:20:25.840 Department is moving to recall thousands of US eight employees 0:20:25.840 --> 0:20:26.680 from foreign countries. 0:20:27.160 --> 0:20:27.520 Shame. 0:20:27.880 --> 0:20:31.320 These are people who have dedicated their careers to helping. 0:20:31.040 --> 0:20:32.640 Out blah blah blah blah blah. 0:20:32.840 --> 0:20:35.399 And one of my favorite pundits reacted, this is not 0:20:35.480 --> 0:20:39.440 a military deployment. These are jobs, not religious missions. They 0:20:39.480 --> 0:20:43.160 signed up to serve their country. Spare me right. I agree. 0:20:43.680 --> 0:20:45.920 Yeah, there's part of this that seems a little chaotic 0:20:46.080 --> 0:20:49.720 to me, like the jan and six pardons and that 0:20:49.800 --> 0:20:51.600 sort of thing. I think we could probably do a 0:20:51.600 --> 0:20:53.840 better job if we take our time. It doesn't need 0:20:53.880 --> 0:20:56.040 to be by the end of the week. It's more 0:20:56.040 --> 0:20:59.800 of the generalized squealing about reducing these programs that bothers. 0:21:00.280 --> 0:21:03.119 These are some sort of missionaries, These people that worked 0:21:03.119 --> 0:21:06.320 in government given their lives to the church, which is 0:21:06.359 --> 0:21:09.000
