1
00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:06,120
Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George

2
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:10,240
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.

3
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 2: Armstrong and Jetty and he Armstrong and Hetty.

4
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 3: Today will be yet again our most intense day of

5
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 3: strikes inside Iran. The most fighters, the most bombers, the

6
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 3: most strikes, intelligence, more refined and better than ever.

7
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 2: So that's on one hand.

8
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 3: On the other hand, the last twenty four hours have

9
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 3: seen Iran fire the lowest number of missiles they've been

10
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 3: capable of.

11
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:52,200
Speaker 1: Firing yet, so that's almost hard to believe that it's

12
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 1: going to be the most number of strikes today. Whatever

13
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 1: we are, ten eleven, twelve days into this thing. That's

14
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,279
Speaker 1: Pete Hegsitt, it's the Secretary of We're going to hear

15
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 1: from Trump. That was this morning. We'll hear from Trump yesterday.

16
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 1: Here just a little bit. Joe's gonna tell us about

17
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:12,040
Speaker 1: the new Weird Beard, Yeah, Weird Beard Junior, controversial character

18
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 1: Jack as you might guess, and a controversial moment in

19
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 1: Iron's history for reasons.

20
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 2: I will explain. Okay, looking forward to that.

21
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,479
Speaker 1: Also, forgot what was the thing I wanted to talk

22
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 1: about getting too later that flitted out of my mind

23
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 1: because cousin being old and whatnot.

24
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 2: Things flit out of my mind. It's a drag. What

25
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 2: are you gonna do? I should write down everything.

26
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 1: I should carry on noe pad in a pen, just constantly,

27
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: like for thoughts I'm gonna happen in two minutes. You're

28
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,400
Speaker 1: gonna go into the laundry room and get a pair

29
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: of socks. Oh boy, oh boy, you're going full Bruce

30
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 1: Willis over here. That would be uh exhausting. H here's

31
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 1: a little Trump from yesterday.

32
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 4: No, I don't want to brag, but you know they

33
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 4: said this about a lot of things.

34
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 2: No, at the president could do some of this shit

35
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 2: I'm doing as the president that from the Republican things

36
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 2: I'm doing. Nobody else was going to do it. They

37
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 2: say it all the time, sir, could you do this?

38
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 2: You're the only one could do it. I was of

39
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 2: long form. That was fabulous.

40
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 1: That was at the Republican retreat where they're trying to

41
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 1: figure out how the hell the not lose the mid terms. Yeah,

42
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 1: play fifty five for me. This is the one that's

43
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 1: getting all the attention because it's all about the timeline,

44
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 1: which I think he was trying to bring down the

45
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 1: oil prices on Iran.

46
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 2: You called it an excursion. You said it would be

47
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 2: over soon. Are you thinking this week it will be

48
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 2: over some days? I think so, okay, and with respect

49
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:37,399
Speaker 2: very soon.

50
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 4: Look, everything they have is gone, including their leadership. In fact,

51
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 4: there are two levels of leadership, and even actually, as

52
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 4: it turns out, more than that, but two levels of

53
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 4: leadership are gone. Most people have never even heard about

54
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 4: the leaders that they're talking about. So it's obviously been

55
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,359
Speaker 4: very very powerful, very effective.

56
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 1: So yesterday I was talking about there's a lot of

57
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: chatter among the sort of people who chatter that maybe

58
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 1: Trump's gonna pull the plug on this thing with oil

59
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 1: prices going up and decide, you know, that's good enough,

60
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: We've we've made our point, and then just stop, like

61
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,239
Speaker 1: you know sometimes he does with things major terear for

62
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 1: with a major country, and then a couple of days

63
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: in because the bond market does something, you just stop

64
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 1: and you don't really have to explain it.

65
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:24,519
Speaker 2: You just do.

66
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 1: Then, because of modern world, everybody just moves on to

67
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 1: something else and doesn't even remember it happened. So I'll

68
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 1: see you're gonna do so I don't. I don't I

69
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: really don't know how far he plans to prosecute this.

70
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: I don't know. Here's here's him talking about us blowing

71
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 1: stuff up.

72
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 2: The navy is gone. It's all lying at the bottom

73
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 2: of the ocean. Forty six ships. Can you believe it?

74
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 2: In fact, I got a little upset with that bable

75
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 2: I said, what quality of ship? Excellencer?

76
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 4: Top of the line, I said, why didn't we just

77
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 4: capture this ship? We're going to use it.

78
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 2: Why did we sink him? He said, it's more fun

79
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 2: to sink him. He said, that's a they like sinking

80
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 2: and better. They say it's.

81
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 4: Safer to think, and I guess it's probably true.

82
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Well, what are you going to board them

83
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 1: and go hand to hand conflict or combat? Yeah, I'm

84
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 1: sure I would have gone with that more fun line.

85
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 2: But it was interesting. So there you go. So tell

86
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 2: me about weird beard.

87
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:25,239
Speaker 1: This is I'm very interested in who might be in charge,

88
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 1: although to what extent he's going to be able to

89
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 1: do anything?

90
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 2: Where's he hiding right now?

91
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:29,840
Speaker 5: Yeah?

92
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: I want to spend just another minute on the question

93
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 1: of when this might end. In the press conference yesterday,

94
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 1: which was really interesting, I happened to watch the whole thing.

95
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 2: It was long. It's obvious that they.

96
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 1: Are They are ready for a number of different outcomes,

97
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,600
Speaker 1: but each one of them includes Iran cannot project its

98
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 1: power in the region, It cannot hold up shipping in

99
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:56,160
Speaker 1: the straits of horror moves because that's super important for global.

100
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 2: Oil movement and the rest of it.

101
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 1: You're probably more or less familiar with that, and that

102
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,599
Speaker 1: they can't tech our friends and allies and our bases

103
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 1: in the region.

104
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 2: That is like.

105
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 1: The the lowest level of achievement that he will settle for,

106
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: and that's still a fair ways off. By the way,

107
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 1: I was complaining about this yesterday as all the news

108
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: organizations for forty eight hours, we're talking about one hundred

109
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 1: dollars barrel oil, one hundred dollars barrel oil, one hundred dollars,

110
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:23,279
Speaker 1: the magic number, hundred dollar barre oil.

111
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 2: He's a rab down bear, ain't a rabdowt bear.

112
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 1: With nobody taking the time to say that, well, inflation

113
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 1: over the last several years, a hundred dollars ain't the

114
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:32,599
Speaker 1: same as what one hundred dollars was just a couple

115
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,559
Speaker 1: of years ago. So I did the major journalistic work

116
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 1: of asking chat GPT about inflation.

117
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 2: So one hundred dollars.

118
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: Michael Jack's gonna need a frame for his pulitzer. Can

119
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: you look into that, I will check it out. So

120
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 1: one hundred dollars oil is the same as seventy nine

121
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 1: dollars oil.

122
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 2: In twenty twenty, seventy nine dollars oil, seventy eight nine dollar.

123
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: Oil yelled and no one ever, which wouldn't have gotten

124
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:01,480
Speaker 1: hardly any attention. But that's what oil actually is based

125
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 1: on twenty twenty dollars, which is just five years in

126
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,119
Speaker 1: a couple of months ago. Folks, I think we all

127
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,919
Speaker 1: need to together take a moment, slap our foreheads and

128
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,839
Speaker 1: think about how stupid our news media is and how

129
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: ill served we are by their weak efforts. Good lord again,

130
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,280
Speaker 1: enjoy your pilitzer congratulation. Part of it is nobody wants

131
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,679
Speaker 1: to tamp down an exciting story that you don't get

132
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 1: reader's eyeballs and and you know, listeners by tamping down,

133
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:33,840
Speaker 1: here's why this story actually isn't there as exciting as

134
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 1: you think it is.

135
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 2: You just you know.

136
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 1: It's not the best way to get attention. Yeah, I

137
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,599
Speaker 1: guess we're not got in the endless the dumbest journalism

138
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: on in the world as I talking about, and they're

139
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 1: doing it again last night.

140
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 2: They'll probably do it again to night on the evening news.

141
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,840
Speaker 1: They're at a gas station talking to a soccer mom

142
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 1: or a guy you know, driving to a construction. It

143
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: cost me almost one hundred and twenty dollars a film

144
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: with Tank. I don't know how long I can keep

145
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 1: this up. That man is troubled. Yes, we know all people.

146
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 2: Dislike high gas price.

147
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 1: Yes the damned All right, let's all right, this is

148
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 1: our second coming together moment for all of us. In

149
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: one segment, you've got to vow if you're ever interviewed.

150
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 2: At a gas station like that by some.

151
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 1: Local reporter, you've got to say something really perverse, or

152
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 1: just say, you know, I enjoy paying more for gas.

153
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 1: I think everyone should pay more for a gas or

154
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 1: it's just looking at Wait, no, I need footage of

155
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 1: somebody audio, somebody saying that they can.

156
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 2: Oh no, I like it.

157
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 6: See.

158
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 1: We got to put the camera on the thing scrolling

159
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 1: from to a higher number, and then we need you

160
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 1: to say I don't know how I'm gonna afford this,

161
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 1: And then I'll say, as you can see, Jim, people

162
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 1: are troubled by the prices of gas. No, I'm gonna

163
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 1: say I blame the French. How long are we gonna

164
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 1: put up with the fringe? Well, some of it I

165
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 1: put my car, and some of it I drink in

166
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 1: the morning, right, right, spend a couple of minutes thinking

167
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 1: about it and having it in your holes. To ready

168
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,960

Speaker 1: a way to fix that. According to The New York Times, Yeah,

200
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 1: oh good. Have you tried rebooting it? Well, that's basically

201
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:34,679
Speaker 1: what you do. But how to do that all the thing,

202
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 1: because most people don't know how. I don't, so stay

203
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: tuned for all that stuff coming up Armstrong.

204
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 6: Overnight, I spoke with President Trump. We spoke about Operation

205
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 6: Epic Fury, how it's going, and his thoughts on Mushtaba

206
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 6: Kham and I e Aron's next Supreme Leader. He told

207
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 6: me he's not happy with that selection, adding I don't

208
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:57,680
Speaker 6: believe he can live in peace.

209
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 1: Nice job of learning to pronounce that guy's name there, Yeah,

210
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 1: Trey yanks the fabulous Trey yankst on Fox News. So

211
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 1: the new guy, Beard Junior, weird Beard Junior? Who is he?

212
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 1: What does this all mean? Super interesting? First of all,

213
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 1: this guy is a nothing and we'll get into that more.

214
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,960
Speaker 1: He's got like no respect as a religious scholar. He

215
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 1: may or may not have showed up at the end

216
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 1: of the Iraq War Iran Iraq War to burnish his

217
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 1: credentials for his future and that sort of thing.

218
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 2: But they're desperately now trying.

219
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 1: To pitch the idea that his father was a martyr.

220
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 1: The big announcement offered condolences on the martyrdom of your

221
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,599
Speaker 1: beloved father, who is a model of jihad and martyrdom,

222
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 1: and that, in their weird mystical clerical religious fascist society

223
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:54,319
Speaker 1: gives the guy more legitimacy because he's the son of

224
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 1: a martyr in they fifty three something like that. Yeah,

225
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,439
Speaker 1: he couldn't have fought in the Iran rock wor unless

226
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 1: he was a child in the eighties. He'd have been

227
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 1: pretty young. I mean, because we were young and he's

228
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:10,239
Speaker 1: significantly younger than us. Please don't make me do mathematics.

229
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 1: I'm told that he went to the front lines at

230
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 1: the end of the conflict. I might have been eighteen. Huh,

231
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 1: somebody do the math, anyway, do the math. Interestingly, the

232
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: WeirdBeard Junior's mother, wife, and son were also killed during

233
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 1: the recent air strikes. So anyway, in the weird way

234
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 1: that this sort of society operates, The center and expert

235
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 1: at the University in Scotland says much Daba will be

236
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:38,679
Speaker 1: helped by the fact that his father was killed by

237
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,719
Speaker 1: Netanyahu and Trump. You can all already see the mythology

238
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:47,319
Speaker 1: being built because murderdom is a central concept in Shiite Islam,

239
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,680
Speaker 1: HARKing back to the death of the Imam Hussein, prophet

240
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 1: Mohammed's grandson killed in the seventh century. Blah blah blah.

241
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 1: The split with the Sunnis. Anyway, so they're trying to

242
00:11:56,840 --> 00:12:01,680
Speaker 1: build this guy up. But interestingly came across this in

243
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 1: the New York Post. Nobody wanted impotent Nepo baby Muchtaba

244
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 1: Kameeni to be Iran's next supreme leader. Not President Trump,

245
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:15,680
Speaker 1: but not even Kameni's own father, who held the job

246
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 1: until he was blown up by air strikes earlier this month.

247
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 1: But the IRGC had other ideas, and I think I

248
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 1: underplayed when he forged connections with the IRGC, starting with

249
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 1: his youthful service quote unquote at the end of the war.

250
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 1: He was their guy in the White House as it were.

251
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 2: He'd have been fifteen when the war ended. What can

252
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 2: I tell you?

253
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 1: All right, anyway, so he had important connections with the

254
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 1: Revolutionary Guard and he was their contact, their lobbyist, their

255
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 1: connection to the old man who ruled Iran as the

256
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 1: Supreme leader. So that's his power center. But he's so

257
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 1: un impressive and impotent has unfortunately both Jack and The

258
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:06,559
Speaker 1: New York Post field necessary to point out he is

259
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:08,680
Speaker 1: in the hospital for two months for lack of erection

260
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 1: that in Komeyeny's wills, Oh weird Beard Senior, he explicitly

261
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:18,960
Speaker 1: asked that his son not be named as successor. Oh wow,

262
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 1: oh wow. This is a classic Lenin Stalin sort of thing.

263
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 1: What did they say on the dead bed death bed

264
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 1: that Lennon say, don't let Stalin take over or not?

265
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:31,440
Speaker 1: This is one of those, right exactly. So here is

266
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 1: a quote from a guy who's close to Iranian intelligence.

267
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 1: But we got winto the quote anyway through means that

268
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 1: aren't worth describing. But much Jaba is an impotent young

269
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 1: cleric who has achieved nothing in terms of political life,

270
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,680
Speaker 1: said this insider, explaining that the late Kameny felt his

271
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 1: son lacked the experience or capability to run Iran all

272
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 1: these years, he has been nothing without his father's name.

273
00:13:53,600 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 1: And they mentioned that the old man was like well Komani,

274
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:05,679
Speaker 1: the original guy was like super revered religious scholar, right comedy,

275
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 1: more of a lightweight religiously, but a master of details

276
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 1: in organization. He was a very capable administrator. This youngster's

277
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 1: got nothing but the name. So he has got the

278
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 1: problem of if he sticks his head up out above ground,

279
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 1: he'll be killed by US or Israel. In an underground

280
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 1: he might be killed by military leaders who have no

281
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 1: respect for him. Yeah, although he's got the IRGC in

282
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: his corner because they know he'll continue to steer enormous

283
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 1: profits and power their way. Here's another interesting aspect of this.

284
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 1: In the Islamic Revolution of nineteen seventy nine, it was

285
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 1: made infinitely clear, like in your top three or four principles,

286
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 1: that genetic succession of this sort, well there's a different

287
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 1: term for that.

288
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 2: What do you call it?

289
00:14:56,320 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 1: You know, the hereditary succession is dirictly forbidden. That is

290
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 1: anti Islamic. It is no way will we ever do

291
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 1: that again because they didn't want the Shaws and stuff

292
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 1: like that. Oh okay, so they've utterly betrayed that principle

293
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 1: because this seems to be the obvious guy to pick,

294
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 1: according to the IRGC, which still has triggers and fingers

295
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 1: to pull them. Another interesting factoid, because I've been digging

296
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 1: deep into the history of Ron lately, which I knew

297
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 1: a little about but not a lot. Do you remember

298
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 1: the coup in nineteen was at fifty three fifty four.

299
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 1: It kind of unfolded over that period that everybody says

300
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 1: Obama and you know, all your academics, I always say,

301
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 1: And then the US helped to start a coup that

302
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 1: overthrew a popularly elected government, and they draw a direct

303
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 1: line from that to the Islamic Revolution nineteen seventy nine,

304
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 1: as if we caused it. Well.

305
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 2: I did some digging.

306
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 1: Over the last couple of days into this, and it

307
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 1: is so much more interesting than that the popularly elected

308
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 1: prime minister at the time. Number One, the Shah had

309
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 1: the constitutional right to remove him if he saw fit

310
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 1: to do that. Number two, this guy's and his name,

311
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 1: I can never remember. This weird by Western standards, but

312
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 1: the prime minister at the time, he had lost virtually

313
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 1: all of his support because he'd gone dictator. He'd betrayed

314
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 1: all of his popular democratic principles, and he had banned

315
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 1: the free media, he had cleansed out the judiciary, including

316
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 1: the entire Supreme Court, and everybody from the clerics to

317
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 1: the communists turned against him. And they came to the

318
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 1: US and said, can you help us get rid of

319
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 1: this guy? Where we stayed out of it for a

320
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 1: long time, but then they said, look, he's totally lost

321
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 1: his mind. We can either do it with your help

322
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 1: or without your help. And so we said, yeah, all right,

323
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 1: well we'll help and tried to get a more reasonable

324
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 1: system in there. Then, of course, and this is. This

325
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 1: is repeated over and over again in Iranian history. The

326
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 1: Shaw started out pretty reformist and pretty much nine but

327
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 1: then started rolling with an iron hand and killing people

328
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:06,440
Speaker 1: and had secret prisons and the rest of it happens.

329
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 2: Over and over.

330
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 1: But the idea that we went in and they were

331
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 1: just having an iron style garden party full the democracy

332
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:18,440
Speaker 1: enjoy utterly false. So we have hit According to Pete Hegzeth,

333
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:23,399
Speaker 1: this morning, we have hit five thousand targets. Israel has

334
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 1: hit three thousand targets. Eight thousand targets have been struck

335
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:32,880
Speaker 1: with bombs from the air since the beginning of the Warrior. Okay,

336
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 1: that's hard to imagine, Yeah it is. How is there

337
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 1: anything left to hit? And today is supposed to be

338
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:43,359
Speaker 1: the biggest day yet according to Sect Deaf Pief Sect

339
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:46,679
Speaker 1: War Pete. Yeah, yeah, a country or other of ninety

340
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:50,679
Speaker 1: three million people, so any of targets and as we

341
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 1: reviewed the other day, they have hundreds and hundreds of

342
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 1: thousands of men under arms, so it's a big military.

343
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 2: Yeah. Interesting to see how it turns out. Today.

344
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:01,639
Speaker 1: They got to get that oil flowing through the street's

345
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 1: horror moves. Though oil prices have settled down today pretty well,

346
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 1: but they got to get them them tankers going through

347
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:08,200
Speaker 1: the straits somehow.

348
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 2: Market bounce back yesterday too.

349
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 1: So lot on the way if you miss anything at

350
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 1: the podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand.

351
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 7: Armstrong and Getty's a little serving wine drives base sid

352
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 7: right field.

353
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:23,920
Speaker 2: He swats it their first day slutter.

Speaker 2: Get seven stand.

356
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:33,680
Speaker 1: Aaron zuts Tuckstown or teams protecting.

357
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:36,200
Speaker 2: For the US. He does it with his arm there

358
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:37,400
Speaker 2: again see Mexico.

359
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 1: So the work of the Baseball Classic is going on,

360
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,679
Speaker 1: and I feel like, why am I not paying more

361
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,679
Speaker 1: attention to this? The big stars are playing. This isn't

362
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 1: like a lot of these sorts of things where you

363
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 1: know your big stars don't play. I was watching Japan's show.

364
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:56,400
Speaker 1: Heo Tani is just laying waste of various teams. Oh yeah,

365
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 1: and it's really some good stuff. And then you hat

366
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 1: to Aaron Judge. There our biggest start probably of the

367
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 1: American of the Yankees looking forward to US Japan. The

368
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:13,399
Speaker 1: Dominican Republic is a power as well. My favorite facto

369
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 1: it from the WBC is that Italy has an espresso

370
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:17,680
Speaker 1: machine in their dugout.

371
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:22,879
Speaker 2: I'm watching the guy using it right now. Get a

372
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 2: nice espresso as you're watching the ball game. Is great.

373
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 2: I tell you what. Another factor is caffeine.

374
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:34,399
Speaker 1: Speed super popular among baseball players because you you you

375
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 1: don't stand still. You try to keep moving, but man,

376
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:40,119
Speaker 1: there's inaction. But then when the action comes, you got

377
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,680
Speaker 1: to be instantaneous, so you got to be super twitchy.

378
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 2: So speed really helps.

379
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 1: So a lot of your the reason the Italians who

380
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 1: are swinging down the espresso. So a lot of your

381
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:51,160
Speaker 1: old timey baseball players were on some sort of.

382
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well yeah.

383
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 1: It was like the speed of trucker would take to

384
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:00,680
Speaker 1: not fall asleep at the wheel. That sort of thing's

385
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 1: been popular for ages. It's like ultra high doses of

386
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 1: a caffeine. I did it once as a ballplayer and

387
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 1: then decided I don't want to be that guy.

388
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,399
Speaker 2: But it was the best game I ever played. Really. Yeah.

389
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:20,200
Speaker 1: Wow, three hits and five scoreless innings on the mound.

390
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:20,680
Speaker 4: Wow.

391
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 1: I can't believe he didn't go back to the well

392
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 1: since it worked so well. I know I'm suffocatingly principled.

393
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:27,440
Speaker 1: It's disgusting.

394
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:29,440
Speaker 2: I guess we have a joke about the espresso machine.

395
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:29,919
Speaker 2: Let's do it.

396
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 8: The Italian team in the World Baseball Classic has gained

397
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 8: attention online because they have an espresso machine in their dugout, which.

398
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:46,159
Speaker 1: Explains why one of their players bunted a triple. That's wild. Yeah, America,

399
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:49,679
Speaker 1: different than Budweiser tap. Well, No, I was a pretty

400
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 1: good ballplayer. I mean, it's not like I was hitting

401
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 1: one twenty, couldn't pitch and it was the best game

402
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:55,680
Speaker 1: of your life.

403
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:58,880
Speaker 2: Though. Well, yeah it was, but not by like fifty percent,

404
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 2: you know, twenty percent. That's a lot. That's enough.

405
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:12,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, So shifting gears completely. This is a representative up

406
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 1: in Minnesota mocking the fact she's coming out of uh

407
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:20,919
Speaker 1: she's coming out of the room where all the legislators

408
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 1: had been talking about their bills and laws and things

409
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 1: they want to study and whatnot. And she comes out

410
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 1: and she talks to the press about how crazy one

411
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:33,440
Speaker 1: guy's idea was. This is all around the Somali fraud

412
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:35,399
Speaker 1: that they have going on in Minnesota. This is this

413
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 1: Republican woman.

414
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:38,120
Speaker 2: Go ahead, hey.

415
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:43,200
Speaker 9: Minnesota State Representative Krista Kannutsen. So today in the Labor Committee,

416
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:50,880
Speaker 9: Representative Dave Pinto requested a study for the benefits of shoplifting.

417
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:57,439
Speaker 9: There are no benefits to shoplifting for the people that

418
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 9: are being shoplifted from.

419
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:07,200
Speaker 7: I have no idea what else to say. I'm shocked. Actually,

420
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:09,959
Speaker 7: I don't even know what to say.

421
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 1: Who.

422
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:15,400
Speaker 2: I don't know what to say.

423
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 7: Who benefits from shoplifting?

424
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 9: The criminals bump again, the criminal's benefit.

425
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 1: I like her style. She's got a like sitcom sort

426
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 1: of delivery. As a state representative, probably from some small

427
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 1: area in Minnesota, I don't even know what to say

428
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,120
Speaker 1: the benefits of shoplifting. Here's a little bit of a guy.

429
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 1: I don't know if I need the whole thing or not.

430
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 1: Representative Dave Pinto with his idea.

431
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 10: It is an intriguing line of questions.

432
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 8: Several lesson on the Public Safety Committee yesterday there was

433
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:50,639
Speaker 8: a presentation of a group seeking to change how we

434
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:53,439
Speaker 8: address organize retail theft. And it actually had not occurred

435
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 8: to me to ask it probably would have been good

436
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 8: to make sure that they would study sort of the

437
00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 8: benefit of shoplifting and of retail theft. And because perhaps

438
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 8: people are relying on that and sort of using that,

439
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:04,640
Speaker 8: maybe it's you know.

440
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 10: Assisting them in some way. I mean, these folks were

441
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 10: describe people violating the law. But I suppose it could

442
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:13,399
Speaker 10: be useful to look into that. But ultimately it's a

443
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 10: policy question, right. We do want to make sure when

444
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,399
Speaker 10: we have a long place for enforcing.

445
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:20,159
Speaker 1: It, there's a techno crap for you. Organized retail or

446
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,719
Speaker 1: efforts it and it must it must be benefit them

447
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:23,200
Speaker 1: in some way.

448
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 2: Yeah.

449
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 5: Yeah.

450
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 2: If I go down to.

451
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:28,639
Speaker 1: The parking lot right now and smash open somebody's window

452
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 1: and take the purse out of there, there's a benefit

453
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 1: to me.

454
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:32,639
Speaker 2: I now have her purse.

455
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:37,120
Speaker 1: There are some ideas so ridiculous only an intellectual could

456
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 1: hold them.

457
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:41,200
Speaker 2: What the hell? Well, I want to hear that, Kristin Knudsen.

458
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 2: I don't know what to say.

459
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 1: Boy, we were talking yesterday about how the Democratic Party

460
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:53,679
Speaker 1: has a favorability net rating below like everything everything, but Iran,

461
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:58,160
Speaker 1: they're lower than Ice. Do you have any questions now

462
00:23:58,280 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 1: after hearing that, any questions? Why them?

463
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:00,399
Speaker 4: No?

464
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 1: Okay, everybody's satisfied. That is effing ridiculous. We did that

465
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 1: at the cow We did that at the very end

466
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:08,720
Speaker 1: of the show, so I should mention that again. Yeah,

467
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:14,119
Speaker 1: latest NBC poll and they do the whole your your

468
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:19,879
Speaker 1: your favorability and then your unfavorability, and what's your net rating. Like,

469
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 1: If you got more people like you than not, it's

470
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 1: a plus. If more people dislike you, you know, it's

471
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 1: a negative. Obviously, the Democrats overall are minus twenty two

472
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 1: because fifty two percent have a very or somewhat negative

473
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 1: view of Democrats versus only thirty percent positive. So they're

474
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 1: minus twenty two. Even Ice is only minus eighteen. Yeah,

475
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:46,440
Speaker 1: after all the coverage, all the coverage nationwide, they're behind

476
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:50,200
Speaker 1: the Democrats, are behind Trump, They're behind the Republicans.

477
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 2: They're behind Ice.

478
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 1: Only Iran at a minus fifty three as a lower

479
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 1: rating according to NBC's poll. Oh hey, and Michael I

480
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 1: needs thirty two another you got, Well, we're in favor

481
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 1: of crime.

482
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:03,960
Speaker 2: How about this?

483
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:07,359
Speaker 1: This is James tallerco the great White Hope in Texas

484
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 1: who's gonna take the Senate seat and turn Texas blue again.

485
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 5: Uh?

486
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:15,160
Speaker 7: Dig this exchange something that you love that's not family

487
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:19,440
Speaker 7: or friends I love.

488
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 2: And I'm just saying this because it's on my mind.

489
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 2: The trans children who showed.

490
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:28,119
Speaker 5: Up yesterday at the state capitol to advocate for.

491
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 3: Their humanity, they shouldn't have to, but it was an

492
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 3: inspiration to watch here.

493
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:39,359
Speaker 1: You anybody need anything else? What do you love outside

494
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:45,360
Speaker 1: of family and friends? Trans kids that are poor children,

495
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:50,160
Speaker 1: my god victims to this Joseph Mengelis style experimentation on them. Yeah,

496
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:52,880
Speaker 1: I feel bad for them a completely different way than

497
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:57,880
Speaker 1: you do, Sir Ikma. I like the guy in Minnesota

498
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:01,960
Speaker 1: calling shoplifters organized retail theft and then say.

499
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 2: We need to study specific thing. I know, but I

500
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 2: feel like it's an antiseptic.

501
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 1: You're going out of your way to use the most

502
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 1: antiseptic term for what's happening in our stores while everything's

503
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 1: locked up. Well, I got to get somebody with a

504
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:17,399
Speaker 1: key to get my deodorant. And then to talk about

505
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:22,120
Speaker 1: the benefits, we need to study the benefits. That's that

506
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 1: is either a soft head or a dedicated Marxist. He's

507
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:31,400
Speaker 1: part of the Democratic Farm Labor Party in Minnesota. I mean,

508
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 1: because the idea of decriminalizing crime and overloading the system

509
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 1: and breaking it blah blah blah, it's straight out of

510
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 1: Marxism and and you know Cloward, Piven and blah blah blah.

511
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 1: But yeah, he's a dedicated Marxist. See if I was

512
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 1: in any Congress, I would not be saying organize retail theft.

513
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 1: I'd be saying the scumbags who rob us blind, so

514
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 1: I have to find someone with a key so I

515
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:51,639
Speaker 1: can get deodorant.

516
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 2: At the cv AS. That's what I would be saying.

517
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:56,920
Speaker 2: I know, Reverend al.

518
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:02,679
Speaker 1: That's incredible, Like, yeah, play her again just a little bit.

519
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 1: We don't have to hear the whole thing, but her,

520
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 1: she's a ghast.

521
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:09,359
Speaker 9: Hey, Minnesota State Representative Krista Kannutsen so Today in the

522
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 9: Labor Committee, Representative Dave Pinto requested a study for the

523
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 9: benefits of shoplifting. There are no benefits to shoplifting for

524
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:28,159
Speaker 9: the people that are being shoplifted from.

525
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 7: I have no idea what else to say. I'm shopped Actually,

526
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 7: I don't even know what to say.

527
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:38,120
Speaker 1: Who.

528
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 2: I don't know what to say.

529
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 7: Who benefits from shoplifting?

530
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:53,639
Speaker 9: The criminals? Once again, the criminals benefit from shop that.

531
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:56,399
Speaker 1: Dave Pinto needs to be dragged out of the chamber

532
00:27:56,440 --> 00:28:02,640
Speaker 1: by his ears and abused by Wolds. Good lord, he's

533
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:04,800
Speaker 1: advocating for lawlessness.

534
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:09,359
Speaker 2: Seems to be drug abused by crowds.

535
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 1: Smartbaric speaking of an antiseptic way to present something.

536
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I abuse this crowd.

537
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 1: Great history podcast where they use terms like and then

538
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:24,160
Speaker 1: they were ill used by the mob.

539
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 2: Ill used. I mean I had the crap beaten out

540
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:31,719
Speaker 2: of them. Oh that was odd times, folks.

541
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:33,480
Speaker 1: If somebody had told me about them, like in another

542
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:36,240
Speaker 1: country at another time, I would have thought, wait a minute,

543
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 1: there are like representatives arguing that, well, crime has its

544
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:40,719
Speaker 1: upsides because people get free stuff.

545
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 2: I think you're come on, you're making this up.

546
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, so we uh, we got a couple other stories

547
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:48,479
Speaker 1: that we need to check in on. Oh, I'll have

548
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 1: the quick What you do if your TV is laggy?

549
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 1: Helped me out. I read it in the New York

550
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 1: Times and pass that along to you because once you

551
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 1: have your smart TV for a while, just like with

552
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 1: your phone, it gets gooped up with all the memory

553
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 1: stuff and then it doesn't work quite as well. So

554
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 1: I got that for you, among other things. On the

555
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 1: way stay here.

556
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 5: The Iranian women's national team had come to the Gold

557
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:18,720
Speaker 5: Coast to play in the AFC Women's Asian Cup. Their

558
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:21,400
Speaker 5: tournament had barely begun when the team made a decision

559
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 5: to stand in silence as their national anthem played back

560
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 5: in Tehran State TV's reaction was swift, this host calling

561
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 5: the move a pinnacle of dishonor, saying they were traitors

562
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:35,640
Speaker 5: during wartime who must be dealt with more severely. Three

563
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 5: days later, something had changed. Before their second game in Australia,

564
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 5: the players sang the anthem and saluted, prompting fears of

565
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 5: coercion by traveling Iranian minders. Earlier Monday news that five

566
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:51,720
Speaker 5: women had fled the team hotel and now seeking asylum

567
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:53,719
Speaker 5: under the protection of Australian police.

568
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 1: I mentioned yesterday that Trump called the Prime Minister President

569
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:01,200
Speaker 1: of Australia and said, can you do something to help

570
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 1: these girls out? But then the problem is they're worried

571
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 1: about their family back home.

572
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 2: Although I think that ship has sailed.

573
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 1: I mean, they can't go back, and their family's probably

574
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 1: gonna get the brunt of their actions whether they go

575
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 1: back or not. Of course that math has changed with

576
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 1: the war. But yeah, what an awful, unthinkable position of

577
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 1: being terrible. Oh god, yes, that is always so tough

578
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 1: for those countries like Iran, North Korea, Russia, where you

579
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:34,959
Speaker 1: might be brave, I mean I could bravely, especially as

580
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 1: a young person, decide, you know, what my country. I'm

581
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 1: not saluting or standing for the national anthem, but they

582
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:44,840
Speaker 1: come for me, I'll go down the guns blazing. Yeah,

583
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 1: but how about your mom and dad back home. That's

584
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 1: a little different situation, your siblings.

585
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 2: That sucks.

586
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a sucky country, a miserable fascist autocracy. Yes,

587
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,240
Speaker 1: I just got into this article about this AI startup.

588
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 1: I want to finish this before I talk about it more.

589
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 1: I didn't reel about it. Turns out they were lying

590
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 1: about their revenue, so they're not as successful as they want.

591
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 2: But their pitch was.

592
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 1: That they were going to be the AI that helps

593
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 1: you cheat at everything. That was going to be like

594
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 1: they're going to do it on purpose as opposed to

595
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 1: all these other AIS that you know. Their alignment is

596
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 1: going to be, you know, to try to not have

597
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 1: kids write their term papers or cheat.

598
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 2: On your taxes.

599
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:27,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can't go on there and say, hey, hey,

600
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:30,120
Speaker 1: chat GPT, what's the easiest way to cheat on your

601
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 1: taxes and not get caught?

602
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 2: This this AI was going to be all about.

603
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 1: It's all about cheating, how to get out of you know,

604
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:38,240
Speaker 1: how to avoid speeding tickets, out to cheat on your taxes.

605
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 1: But like you just said, it's all there anyway, you

606
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 1: just have.

607
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 2: To word it the right way.

608
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:47,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the future, though, that's it. We're all living

609
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 1: in La la land to pretend that that's not going

610
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 1: to be the dominant AI at some point.

611
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 2: Wow.

612
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:58,120
Speaker 1: Wow, I remember bringing you the story about the cheater

613
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:01,160
Speaker 1: stuff the kids. I'm sorry kids, you AI to cheating school,

614
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:04,400
Speaker 1: and how some of the big platforms mark it aggressively

615
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 1: to students with thinly veiled messages that hey, we can

616
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:11,720
Speaker 1: help you totally write a paper, and all meanwhile putting

617
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 1: out public statements and responding to pressure from school saying

618
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 1: oh we are instituting new policies and saved.

619
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 2: College blah blah blah blah blah.

620
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 1: Blah blah, then marketing more to the kids. Hey, no,

621
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:22,720
Speaker 1: don't worry about it just coming down on us.

622
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 7: Yeah.

623
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:25,719
Speaker 1: It's inevitable though, right that there'll be an AI company

624
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 1: where it's like, if you want to go there and

625
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 1: ask how do I do drugs without my parents finding out?

626
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 1: Or I mean, what effort is they got the answer

627

Speaker 1: for you? They don't care about the alignment problem, right,

628
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 1: how do I cheat my way to a victory? In

629
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 1: the Omani Camel pageant scandal rocking the Middle East details

630
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:45,640

Speaker 2: I know.

634
00:32:56,680 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 1: They're a window into Middle Eastern society. Jack Camel Beauty page.

635
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:01,840
Speaker 1: So I came across this on the New York Times.

636
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 1: I'd never thought about this before. If you ever get

637
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 1: a new smartphone, like a new iPhone, every time I

638
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:09,120
Speaker 1: get a new iPhone, I open it up and I'm like, oh, yeah,

639
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:11,200
Speaker 1: that's the way my phone used to work. Everything just

640
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 1: moves around so smoothly before it gets all messed up

641
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:19,440
Speaker 1: with apps you download or whatever happens. But your brand

642
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:21,920
Speaker 1: new technology, it's always so nice to use. If the

643
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 1: smart TV you bought a few years ago has gone

644
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:27,640
Speaker 1: from snappy and responsive to lagging and slow, there's a

645
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 1: reason for that. Like smartphones, TVs run out of storage space,

646
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:34,640
Speaker 1: become bogged down with cash sizes, and require updates to

647
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:37,720
Speaker 1: continue running smoothly. We all know about the updates, so

648
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 1: you're not imagining this. But the quickest way to do

649
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 1: it is you un Turning it on and off doesn't help.

650
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 1: You gotta unplug it. And I didn't know you unplugged

651
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:48,000
Speaker 1: it for this long I thought they. I thought everything.

652
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:49,880
Speaker 1: You unplug it for like thirty seconds or a minute.

653
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 1: It's fine, unplug your TV for fifteen minutes.

654
00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:55,520
Speaker 2: I've never heard that before.

655
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 1: Unplug your TV for fifteen minutes, then plug it back

Speaker 1: Musicians who uh are out and proud saying that they

675
00:34:55,680 --> 00:35:01,320
Speaker 1: thought they played better drunk or stoned and now fully

676
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:04,480
Speaker 1: believe that they did not. And it's like a message

677
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 1: to young people or musicians or something. Happen to hear

678
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:09,799
Speaker 1: an interview with the Great Joe Walsh the other day

679
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:11,560
Speaker 1: in which he was saying that very thing. Really he

680
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 1: had to rebuild himself emotionally because he had been sucking

681
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:16,960
Speaker 1: down vodka so long he didn't know if he could

682
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:21,719
Speaker 1: play record, perform right if he wasn't drunk, and it

683
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 1: took a while to figure out, Yeah, not only can I,

684
00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:26,279
Speaker 1: but I'm better Lots I wonder if he's part of

00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:28,920
Speaker 1: that group lots of your drunk drug addict to guitar players,

686

688

689
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:39,719
Speaker 1: convince yourself of that to stay sober. So I'm not

690
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:42,319

691
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:45,799
Speaker 1: your brain certainly functions better. I think there's probably an

692
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 1: optimal level. It's like the game of golf. Everybody knows it.
