Oh my god, I just 4 00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:37,199 Speaker 1: gave across the story about a lip reader who has 5 00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:41,640 Speaker 1: read the lips of McCrone and his wife President McCrone 6 00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:43,760 Speaker 1: and his wife on the plane what they were saying 7 00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:46,279 Speaker 1: as she was shoving him in the face, and has 8 00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,319 Speaker 1: its justified backed up my theory that it was an 9 00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:53,800 Speaker 1: actual angry conflict. Stay tuned live from the studio, C 10 00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:56,920 Speaker 1: say signor a dimly lit room deep with them the 11 00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 1: bowels of the Armstrong and Getty Communications Compound. And hey, 12 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:01,840 Speaker 1: it's you know what you like about these short weeks. 13 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:03,760 Speaker 1: It's all ready in the middle of the week. Today 14 00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:08,000 Speaker 1: we're under the tutelage of our general manager, Vladimir Putin, 15 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:16,040 Speaker 1: author of World War three question mark hanging in the air. Jeez, 16 00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 1: you dropped to World War three right at the beginning 17 00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:20,280 Speaker 1: of the show. I figured you'd be excited about that. 18 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 2: Hey, he cats has been predicting the onslaught of World 19 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 2: War three for many years now. 20 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 1: One of our favorite lines from the Great Larry Sanders 21 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,119 Speaker 1: television show. You can't show. You can't start the show 22 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 1: with the show stopper. That's a show stopper. Yeah, don't 23 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,120 Speaker 1: start the show with a showstopper. World War three is 24 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 1: a show stopper. Holy crab. Yeah, that's some good stuff. 25 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 1: I've been reading this book or listening to it, but 26 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 1: counts as reading called appeasement about all of Europe in 27 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 1: the world, letting Hitler get more and more powerful and 28 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 1: do whatever he wanted to do because nobody wanted to 29 00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:00,559 Speaker 1: have to go to war again. And it's it's really 30 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 1: damned interesting. And while I don't constantly look for parallels that, 31 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:09,680 Speaker 1: you know, mean, this is the new Hitler or the 32 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,320 Speaker 1: new Germany or whatever, because that's all ridiculous, I usually 33 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,120 Speaker 1: think it is amazing how many of the similar things 34 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,640 Speaker 1: are happening, with the way Putin is being looked at, 35 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:22,800 Speaker 1: just little by little. Crimea was the Rhineland. I mean 36 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 1: it was the same sort of thing. Go into Crimean. 37 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,560 Speaker 1: Nobody barely does anything. Okay, cool, they don't have the 38 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:31,520 Speaker 1: DUTs to to stop me. So I guess I'll try 39 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:35,280 Speaker 1: to take all of you, great Hitler. Hitler Invaded to Rhineland, 40 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 1: Part of Germany that he was not allowed to have 41 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,119 Speaker 1: after World War One, so there's a buffer between them 42 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:44,080 Speaker 1: and France. He made up a reason, just like Putin does. 43 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 1: He just make up a reason. He went in and 44 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 1: the world went, yeah, I don't want to go to war. 45 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 1: Do you want to go to war? I don't want 46 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,240 Speaker 1: to go to worr either. Let's just let him have it. 47 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 1: He probably won't go any further. 48 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a bit of a head scratcher if you've 49 00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 2: studied this sort of thing for a while. But if 50 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 2: you do something completely horrific, just do it. The world 51 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,359 Speaker 2: will condemn you and sanctions and who knows what sort 52 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 2: of opposition will arise. But if you do that same 53 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:11,919 Speaker 2: horrific thing and float some ridiculous fish story about why 54 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,919 Speaker 2: it's justified, people rub their chins and spend a great 55 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 2: deal of time debating it, and a certain percentage of 56 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:18,920 Speaker 2: people will say, you know, it kind of has. 57 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 1: A point is if it's because you don't want to 58 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,520 Speaker 1: have to fight, yes, that you will go ahead and 59 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 1: take their excuse. And Hitler knew that, and Putin knows that, 60 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 1: and lots of people have known that. If you come 61 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,960 Speaker 1: up with me summarize offer them a threat and an 62 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 1: excuse to back down, and they will accept the Yeah, 63 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 1: offer them an excuse to do what they really want 64 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 1: to do. That's what Putin does, and the world accepts it, 65 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 1: at least so far has. And one other element of 66 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 1: this that I just wanted to throw in, this weird 67 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 1: thing that was going on in between England and Germany. 68 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 1: And I'd never heard this before, and I don't think 69 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 1: I'd have picked up on it if I hadn't lived 70 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,840 Speaker 1: through all the Tucker Carlson stuff that's been going on. 71 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 1: How England after World War One, there was a belief 72 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 1: that they're young people today, no longer you know, cared 73 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 1: about England and blah blah blah, and they really admired 74 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 1: the elites in England, really admired how energetic the Germans were, 75 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 1: how much they cared about their country, how willing they 76 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:23,040 Speaker 1: were to fight, how how much they cared about Christianity. 77 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,239 Speaker 1: Exactly the same sort of stuff that the Tucker crowd 78 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 1: says about Russia's boutin. Well, they're the manly men, They're 79 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 1: the ones that you know, they're they're reinventing manhood over there. 80 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,280 Speaker 1: Look at us, we're weak and soft and turning all 81 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 1: kinds of weird. True, and England did the exact, had 82 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 1: the same theory towards they kind of admired what Germany 83 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 1: was doing. And yes, you had that crowd also, yeah, 84 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 1: helping helping push the idea that, yeah, we were a 85 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,359 Speaker 1: little hard on Germany after that whole World War One thing. Besides, 86 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,240 Speaker 1: look at them, they're better than us. Right. 87 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,719 Speaker 2: So Trump made those ridiculous statements the other day on 88 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:03,719 Speaker 2: the tarmac of hod what happened to Putin? 89 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:05,919 Speaker 1: He's changed? I thought we were bodies. 90 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 2: I mean, I'm paraphrasing, and I said yesterday, I thought 91 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,840 Speaker 2: that was nuts, because Putin hasn't changed a bit. I mean, 92 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,720 Speaker 2: his appetite has grown with the eating, as they say. 93 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:17,920 Speaker 2: But other than that, no, he's the same cold hearted 94 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 2: KGB trained crocodile he's always been. But he is a 95 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 2: absolute genius when it comes to, you know, carrying out 96 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 2: the sort of plans were discussing. He is a student 97 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 2: of history, he is a student of human nature. He 98 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,360 Speaker 2: has been schooled at the highest level in the arts 99 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:43,360 Speaker 2: of deception and persuasion and flattery and threats. And you know, 100 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,840 Speaker 2: even as you hate him, you've got to admire seeing 101 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 2: him operate. And Hitler, who is way over referenced in 102 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 2: society these days, was likewise a somewhat mad genius. Obviously 103 00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 2: his heart was rotten with hate. But the two of them, actually, 104 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 2: what they haven't come in is incredible effectiveness. But Hubris, 105 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 2: that's just running a bit hot. I mean, Putin's whole 106 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 2: COVID fueled dreams of re establishing the Russian Empire and 107 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 2: being the new Peter the Great, little Nutty little third Reiki. Yeah, yeah, 108 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:21,719 Speaker 2: Nutty and third Reichi. 109 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,360 Speaker 1: Yeah. I'm not a fan of Hitler. But the understanding 110 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 1: that your opponents don't really want to fight. They would, 111 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,040 Speaker 1: they would, They will keep backing up and backing up 112 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 1: and backing up rather than actually fight. 113 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 2: Well, that's why this is such an incredible pivot point 114 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:40,039 Speaker 2: right right now. 115 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 1: That is exactly what the Wall Street Journal says today, 116 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,760 Speaker 1: We'll have to read from their editorial board, lady that 117 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 1: all the tweeting and talking and then theorizing and get 118 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:53,040 Speaker 1: is up like very soon, like maybe this week, maybe today. 119 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 1: Trump's gonna have to either decide to continue to arm Ukraine, 120 00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 1: support the new sanctions that Europe is signed on to 121 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,920 Speaker 1: et cetera, et cetera, or not or send a message 122 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 1: similar to not the same, as there are plenty of differences, 123 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 1: but similar to Biden backing down in Afghanistan that there's 124 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 1: disastrous running for the exits withdrawal, the signal being we 125 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 1: will not hang in for the long term. So if 126 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 1: you're an evil doer, go ahead, give it a try. Right, 127 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,680 Speaker 1: let's start the show officially because there's conversation will stem 128 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 1: from our opening clip. I'm Jack Armstrong, he's Joe Getty 129 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 1: on this. It is hopefully not the beginning of World 130 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 1: War three. I hope this isn't a date that lives 131 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 1: in infant Wednesday, May twenty eighth, year twenty twenty five, 132 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 1: were Armstrong in Getty and we approve of this program. 133 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:42,720 Speaker 1: It's probably worth mentioning when the Chinese turn off the 134 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 1: electric grid and the power grid and the cell phones 135 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:46,960 Speaker 1: in the water and the rest of it. We'll be 136 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 1: working on getting back on the air and doing a podcast. 137 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 2: It could be wild, though, just keep checking in. Okay, Well, anyway, 138 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:54,960 Speaker 2: good lock up. It doesn't come to cannibalist. 139 00:07:54,960 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 1: Thanks for three. I hope it doesn't come to cannibalism. Look, 140 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:04,600 Speaker 1: you gotta be mentally prepared. Oh god, yeah, why do 141 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 1: you drill? Why do you practice so it doesn't freak 142 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 1: out when the pooh hits the fall for the best, 143 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 1: prepare for the worst. At least put it in the 144 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 1: back of your head. You might have to eat your neighbor, 145 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 1: right right, have two weeks worth of water on hand, cash, weapons, 146 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:24,200 Speaker 1: and mental preparedness for cannibalism. Here we go, officially now 147 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 1: according to FCC rules and regulations, which will also be 148 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 1: off when the dystopia begins. Here we go at Mark 149 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:35,080 Speaker 1: medative rights. Regarding Trump's words about Putin playing with fire 150 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 1: and really bad things happening to Russia. I only know 151 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 1: of one really bad thing, world War three. I hope 152 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 1: Trump understands this. How's a response to Trump saying you're 153 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,440 Speaker 1: really playing with fire? They shot back, Oh yeah, how 154 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 1: about world War three? Drop the World War three on Trump? 155 00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 1: So what do you make of that? 156 00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 2: It's another example of Putin's posturing throughout this whole thing, 157 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:06,960 Speaker 2: that this will escalate beyond your control and cataclysm and 158 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 2: you'll be in a blame. It hasn't happened so far. 159 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,840 Speaker 2: Is it a completely hollow threat? I don't know it 160 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 2: worked on Biden. This is the reporting. There are a 161 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 2: lot of folks on the right in America, some of 162 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:20,599 Speaker 2: whom are listening, frustrated and red faced right now, who 163 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 2: think we're playing with that sort of fire for no 164 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:27,440 Speaker 2: supportable reason. We've heard your arguments. I don't agree with you, 165 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 2: but we've heard them. 166 00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:30,440 Speaker 1: Well. I do agree with you, just in a different way. 167 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:35,080 Speaker 1: I think he let Putin win, and you get closer 168 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:37,920 Speaker 1: to World War three, not further from World War three, 169 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,440 Speaker 1: as he's right on the board of border of NATO 170 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 1: countries and he is going to try to take one 171 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 1: of those little NATO countries under some trumped up something 172 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 1: or other. 173 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 2: Any if you would like to drop us a note 174 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,560 Speaker 2: saying why we're wrong, please do mail bag at armstrong 175 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:53,960 Speaker 2: in getty dot com. Again, that's mail bag at Armstrong 176 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 2: in getty dot com. You are not allowed to use 177 00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 2: the term neocon nor forever wars because though they don't 178 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:02,839 Speaker 2: mean anything, those are just catching phrase. Are they allowed 179 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 2: to use the phrase be better at the end of 180 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 2: their screed? 181 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 1: Certainly? 182 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 2: Or why don't you guys do a little studying before 183 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:11,079 Speaker 2: you shoot off your mouth? 184 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 1: Yes, that would be better. Yeah. 185 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:19,120 Speaker 2: My final thought on this is and perhaps address this thought. 186 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 2: What we're talking about is the difference between telling Sheshin 187 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 2: Ping invading Taiwan, or telling Vladimir Putin invading Estonia or 188 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:36,800 Speaker 2: going full on Nukan, Ukraine or whatever. It's the difference 189 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:41,960 Speaker 2: between this will cost you one thousand dollars or one 190 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 2: hundred thousand dollars. What will it cost them to try 191 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:48,920 Speaker 2: to realize their expansionist aims? 192 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 1: Will it cost a little or a lot? 193 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 2: If it costs a lot, they reconsider it's been true 194 00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:01,240 Speaker 2: for all of human history. Well, Richard Engel is reporting 195 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,960 Speaker 2: on NBC News what intelligence sources tell him Putin's strategy is. 196 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,040 Speaker 2: We can get into that later because I'd been wondering, 197 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 2: and this actually makes sense. So uh, one of Elon's 198 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 2: rockets blew up yesterday, and the media once again treating 199 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,720 Speaker 2: it like he's obviously a failure of a rocket engineer, 200 00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 2: which makes me insane. 201 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 1: They're stupid, stupid idiots. We got Diddy trial updates, We 202 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 1: got all kinds of stuff for it. I hope you 203 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,840 Speaker 1: can stick around. We get some oh, including let's talk 204 00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:31,000 Speaker 1: about the bond market. Ah, yeah, he wants to talk 205 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:34,880 Speaker 1: about bonds. You World War three and bond markets. What 206 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,480 Speaker 1: what the hell? Come for the horror? Stay with for 207 00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,640 Speaker 1: the snooze. I got it all, so we got a 208 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:42,000 Speaker 1: lot on the way. I hope you can stay here. 209 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:53,240 Speaker 1: Here's our text line four one FIFTC. Okay, I'll make 210 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:56,079 Speaker 1: this deal with you. We can go through some real 211 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,679 Speaker 1: headlines if you promise to leave me time to get 212 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 1: to the reader on McCrone and his wife from the plane. 213 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:08,000 Speaker 1: Somebody was reading the lips of the video. We now 214 00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:09,839 Speaker 1: know what they said to each other, according to the 215 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:12,520 Speaker 1: slip reader when she shoved him in the face. 216 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 2: I will agree to that bargain if you let me 217 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 2: talk about the bond market. 218 00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:20,720 Speaker 1: Oh my god, can we have an egg timer on 219 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:21,400 Speaker 1: that or something? 220 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:24,720 Speaker 2: Seriously, I came across an explanation of how it works, 221 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:25,200 Speaker 2: and I thought. 222 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,240 Speaker 1: Oh now I get it. Oh okay, well yeah yeah, 223 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 1: if it helps us understand, that's fantastic. 224 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:32,640 Speaker 2: Well come on, how many of us have not heard 225 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:37,240 Speaker 2: various financial the bond market reacted, yields were then you think. 226 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:41,679 Speaker 1: I guess that's bad without really getting it. And it's 227 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 1: actually quite simple. So that's coming up in a little bit, 228 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,920 Speaker 1: believe it or not. By the nip so. 229 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:51,240 Speaker 2: You got a handful of headlines about Trump at war 230 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:54,840 Speaker 2: with Harvard and foreign students and visas and stuff like that. 231 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,080 Speaker 2: A lot of this is going to get knocked down 232 00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,959 Speaker 2: by the courts. Some of it's silly. It's all about 233 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 2: the awful state of our universities, and that's fine, and 234 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:05,400 Speaker 2: we can dig into it a little bit. 235 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:06,080 Speaker 1: I was shocked. 236 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,319 Speaker 2: I was looking at the numbers of how many foreign 237 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,679 Speaker 2: students there are in the US and universities and how 238 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,880 Speaker 2: much money they're worth to the university. 239 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:15,840 Speaker 1: So foreign students, yeah, oh yeah. 240 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,880 Speaker 2: I mean everybody makes noises about well, it's diversity and 241 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:23,240 Speaker 2: different perspectives, but no, it's an efing money spigots and 242 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,440 Speaker 2: they pull that and they pay that full rate that 243 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,520 Speaker 2: practically no American kid does. So I heard a couple 244 00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:32,000 Speaker 2: of times yesterday the White House officially changed COVID vaccination guidelines, 245 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 2: with RFK Junior croaking out that healthy children and pregnant 246 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:38,560 Speaker 2: women no longer need to be vaccinated. On ABC News, 247 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,320 Speaker 2: it was reported or you know, described last night as 248 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 2: overcoming the opinions of the experts, are ignoring them. AREFK 249 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:53,280 Speaker 2: Junior changed national COVID policy? Can anybody explain to me 250 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:56,920 Speaker 2: why the hell healthy children and pregnant ladies were getting 251 00:13:56,920 --> 00:14:00,480 Speaker 2: the shot anyway, especially late date. 252 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:04,079 Speaker 1: Right, And as was pointed out only on Fox, they 253 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:07,680 Speaker 1: had an expert on said European countries gave up on 254 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 1: making kids get inoculations several years ago. So we're noring 255 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:17,079 Speaker 1: the opinions of experts, right, please. So on the financial 256 00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,400 Speaker 1: side of things, the stock market, maybe you're paying attention 257 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:22,080 Speaker 1: yesterday was up yesterday and looks like it is again today. 258 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 1: Wall Street. This is from the Wall Street Journal. Their 259 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:27,200 Speaker 1: headline wall Street BET's the worst of Trump's trade war 260 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:30,360 Speaker 1: is behind it. It looks like that's what the smart 261 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:34,960 Speaker 1: people are thinking. And also that consumer confidence number that 262 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,600 Speaker 1: came out yesterday that we didn't really talk about, up 263 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 1: twelve points or something like that in one month. Can 264 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:45,000 Speaker 1: you explain that Why did it go up so high? No? No, 265 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:48,000 Speaker 1: I cannot. Either. I need to explain why it went 266 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,760 Speaker 1: down so low or why it went up so high again. 267 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,000 Speaker 1: I mean, one of those two needs to be explained. 268 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,240 Speaker 2: The best I can offer is that those two stories 269 00:14:56,240 --> 00:15:01,000 Speaker 2: are related. It's become more clear that the we're going 270 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:06,120 Speaker 2: to become some sort of isolationist smoot Hally tariff protected 271 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:09,880 Speaker 2: fortresses of domestic economy. It's just it's not going to happen, 272 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 2: and he wasn't serious about it as posturing. 273 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:16,040 Speaker 1: That's true. I feel that way, but I guess maybe 274 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,680 Speaker 1: this makes me an elitist. I didn't assume that most 275 00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:23,000 Speaker 1: people paid enough attention to to know both of those 276 00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:25,560 Speaker 1: things happened, the threat of the whole Terraf war and 277 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:27,320 Speaker 1: then the back and off of it. I didn't know 278 00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:29,880 Speaker 1: most people paid attention to that. Yeah, I was struck 279 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:30,680 Speaker 1: a couple of times. 280 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:32,280 Speaker 2: I can't remember if we talked about it on the air, 281 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,400 Speaker 2: And it doesn't really matter, I suppose, But there were 282 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:37,120 Speaker 2: a handful of polls about the tariff policy, and I 283 00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:40,960 Speaker 2: was surprised how few no opinions there were. People seemed 284 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:43,960 Speaker 2: to be paying attention to it. To your point, a 285 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:46,640 Speaker 2: couple more headlines real quickly, US military has begun to 286 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:49,600 Speaker 2: strengthen its presence in Northern Europe in the face of 287 00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:54,520 Speaker 2: increased Russian activity. We're going to get more deeply into 288 00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 2: some of the interesting things being said by Trump. Yeah, 289 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:01,120 Speaker 2: he gets all the attention by my major figures in 290 00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:06,280 Speaker 2: his administration and by an overwhelming number of United States senators. 291 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,880 Speaker 2: There are now I believe eighty two co sponsors of 292 00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:14,880 Speaker 2: a bill to crush Rush's economy with oil sanctions, roughly speaking, 293 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:15,640 Speaker 2: more on that to come. 294 00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,520 Speaker 1: Well, that's interesting based on huge consensus. This Wall Street 295 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:20,520 Speaker 1: Journal headline, which is actually at the top of their 296 00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:25,320 Speaker 1: online right now, Putin has retooled his entire economy to 297 00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:28,400 Speaker 1: focus only on war. Right. 298 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:32,120 Speaker 2: I was going to cite as an exhibit of why 299 00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:36,600 Speaker 2: you know we must stop the killing Vladimir stop is 300 00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:37,600 Speaker 2: just right. 301 00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:41,080 Speaker 1: It's doomed right, He's put all his chips on the table, 302 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:44,680 Speaker 1: So I blame myself. We have run out of time 303 00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:47,320 Speaker 1: and we're not going to get to the McCrone wife 304 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:50,760 Speaker 1: lip reading thing. We got to guarantee we're going to 305 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:52,200 Speaker 1: get it at some point, because I know the first 306 00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:53,760 Speaker 1: thing we do next second. This is the sort of 307 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,000 Speaker 1: thing I would wait in my car to here. Yes, 308 00:16:56,480 --> 00:17:00,960 Speaker 1: it's pretty good too. Look gloom, doom and horror that 309 00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:04,159 Speaker 1: will be there afterward. Yes, get to that. But a 310 00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:07,920 Speaker 1: spat between a Russian president and his old wife, uh 311 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 1: who was his teacher when he was a kid, which 312 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:10,480 Speaker 1: is weird. 313 00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:15,000 Speaker 2: Especially the passionate French, oh you know them in their tempers. 314 00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:17,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, she shoves him in the face with both hands. 315 00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:21,480 Speaker 1: They're just a playful couple, or's a real animosity in 316 00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:23,680 Speaker 1: the air. We'll get that mere day out of here, 317 00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:27,200 Speaker 1: she said. We'll ask the lip reader some real news 318 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:32,679 Speaker 1: all on the way, So stay tuned, Armstrong and Geeddy. 319 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:37,320 Speaker 1: The video of the show quickly going viral. The President's 320 00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:40,560 Speaker 1: team initially called it a fake, but later Macron acknowledged 321 00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:42,879 Speaker 1: it was real, down playing the incident, saying he and 322 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:46,480 Speaker 1: his wife were bickering and joking. Who originally called it 323 00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:50,879 Speaker 1: a fake? Uh? The President? Did he? Cron? Did he? Really? 324 00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:55,399 Speaker 1: It is lit? Sheep say, sheep say, wow, wow wow. 325 00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:58,840 Speaker 1: All right, So you've probably seen the video by now 326 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,320 Speaker 1: of Macrone that the plane, the big plane like his 327 00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 1: Air Force one lands, door opens, whatever whatever was going 328 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:11,159 Speaker 1: on between him and his wife. She shoves him in 329 00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:13,520 Speaker 1: the face with both hands. He turns, sees the doors open. 330 00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:15,840 Speaker 1: Then it's a big smile and waven He tries to 331 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:18,000 Speaker 1: turn it around real quick and hope that nobody saw 332 00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:22,280 Speaker 1: that other part. They did, And everybody's been speculating was 333 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:25,040 Speaker 1: this an actual fighter? They did? They just being playful 334 00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:27,280 Speaker 1: and that's the way they're playful or whatever. I've seen 335 00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:32,879 Speaker 1: people do that playfully. I'm not at that age. Yeah, true, 336 00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:36,240 Speaker 1: this is more of a twenty somethings sort of plan 337 00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:42,200 Speaker 1: in face shove at age sixty or whatever. Well, anyway, 338 00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:45,000 Speaker 1: so The New York Post went to a lip reader 339 00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:47,440 Speaker 1: to try to figure out what was being said. As 340 00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:51,240 Speaker 1: the aircraft door opens, President McCrone is seen turning toward Brigette. 341 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 1: In an unexpected moment, she pushes him in the face. 342 00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:56,679 Speaker 1: After the door open, Macrone noticed that the cameras were 343 00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:59,080 Speaker 1: on him, then he said hi before raising his hand, 344 00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:04,080 Speaker 1: even if out that part saw the video. Emmanuel then 345 00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,880 Speaker 1: steps closer to his wife before composing himself and crossing 346 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,280 Speaker 1: to the other side. Moments later, he signals for her 347 00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:13,240 Speaker 1: to follow him with let's go, the lip reader says. 348 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:15,840 Speaker 1: He thanks the pilot and waves at the camera, trying 349 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:18,400 Speaker 1: to recover his public facing image, but at the top 350 00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:21,600 Speaker 1: of the stairs things turn icy again. He offers his arm, 351 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,560 Speaker 1: she ignores it, choosing to cling to the Rali instead. 352 00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:26,760 Speaker 1: We all saw that. To me, that was the indication 353 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:30,080 Speaker 1: that it was an actual anger thing. I mean, because 354 00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:35,679 Speaker 1: that was pretty evident. As she passes, she appears to mutter, 355 00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:38,359 Speaker 1: I won't try to say it in French translated in 356 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 1: English stay away you lose her. Yeah, I don't know 357 00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:48,760 Speaker 1: if I to gageous piece de loser stay away loser. 358 00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:55,080 Speaker 1: Moments later, the lipreader claims Macrone said esion silte plate, 359 00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:59,120 Speaker 1: which translates to let's try please. Oh God, I've been 360 00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:03,280 Speaker 1: there before. That's the worst. Then she responds none, which 361 00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:07,480 Speaker 1: I assume means no. We his closing expression and the 362 00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:11,600 Speaker 1: phrase lip red as javos translate in englishes. I see, 363 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:25,920 Speaker 1: al right, that's the direct translation. Alright, great, okay, oh fantastic. 364 00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,520 Speaker 1: So you're not even gonna for everybody in the cameras 365 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,199 Speaker 1: and everybody down there, even though we got you know, 366 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:34,280 Speaker 1: we're dealing with a war and peace here. Can't let 367 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:37,440 Speaker 1: this happen at home, a trumble. 368 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:39,440 Speaker 2: In economy, trying to cut a trade deal with these 369 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:42,359 Speaker 2: nice communist people, and you can't even try. 370 00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:44,960 Speaker 1: Ah, right, Of course, it depends on what they're fighting about. 371 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:49,159 Speaker 1: Maybe she's hardcore support Ukraine and he's more temperate on it, 372 00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:54,760 Speaker 1: or it's something incredibly stupid like can happen in the relationship, 373 00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:57,040 Speaker 1: or yeah, she's sick. 374 00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,000 Speaker 2: And tired of being the first lady of a country 375 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,040 Speaker 2: because he's been right, isn't it for a long time? 376 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:04,080 Speaker 1: Right? It's just like, oh my god. 377 00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:07,760 Speaker 2: Another plane ride so I can smile, dignitaries. I don't 378 00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:09,879 Speaker 2: even know who these people are. I'm gonna go off 379 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:12,440 Speaker 2: to a hotel room. You're gonna have your stupid meetings. 380 00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:16,720 Speaker 2: Our economies crumbling, our empires a one hundred years in 381 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:20,760 Speaker 2: the past. Oh ivey schlepping around the world. 382 00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:23,240 Speaker 1: I'm sick of it. I feel like she's aged out 383 00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:26,439 Speaker 1: of the incredibly short skirt. But she apparently thinks her 384 00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:29,040 Speaker 1: legs are her best feature and wants to make sure 385 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:29,960 Speaker 1: everybody sees them. 386 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:33,560 Speaker 2: Wow, listen to you judging. Plus they're French. They have 387 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:37,399 Speaker 2: different ways they do. God, if that is the translation, 388 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,360 Speaker 2: does that not fit beautifully with all the body language? 389 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:47,119 Speaker 1: No way, you lose her? Can we try? Please? No? Oh? Great, 390 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 1: get away? Well to get away, get away from me? 391 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:57,400 Speaker 1: You lose her? Oh jeez, So there you go. Eh. 392 00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:00,639 Speaker 1: I don't remember what we're gonna talk about. Next. Rocket tree. 393 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,200 Speaker 1: Oh yes, I was watching that on the television. So 394 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:07,000 Speaker 1: the SpaceX just launched some more satellites into space. Only 395 00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:10,000 Speaker 1: Fox was covering it. I think that was Fox wanting 396 00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:15,240 Speaker 1: to have something successful elonish on TV because the media 397 00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:19,000 Speaker 1: went so huge yesterday on another one of Elon's rockets 398 00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:24,440 Speaker 1: failing at a certain points. It's an experiment, it's an 399 00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:27,400 Speaker 1: effort to make the rockets better and better and better. 400 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:29,919 Speaker 1: We've talked about this a thousand times. Elon has a 401 00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:32,880 Speaker 1: completely different way of doing this than NASA ever did. 402 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,880 Speaker 1: NASA being a government program and for a variety of reasons, 403 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,320 Speaker 1: they wanted to make sure everything was perfect, and it 404 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:41,600 Speaker 1: would take many, many years before you'd ever try anything 405 00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:44,960 Speaker 1: because you couldn't handle the disaster of a mis launch 406 00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:46,880 Speaker 1: or something like that. I guess, yes, there was a. 407 00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:49,880 Speaker 2: Mishaf It was seen as a horror, an utter disaster. 408 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:53,919 Speaker 2: Whereas as SpaceX, their motto is fail fast, learn faster. 409 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:56,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, so you do it, you do it right now. 410 00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:58,040 Speaker 1: You see how far you get and then it fails 411 00:22:58,080 --> 00:22:59,840 Speaker 1: and you say, okay, so what was the failure part? 412 00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:01,359 Speaker 1: And you fix that and then you go again, you 413 00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:03,399 Speaker 1: go a little further. This one went further than the 414 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:05,960 Speaker 1: last one. It was presented on the media last night 415 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:10,560 Speaker 1: once again SpaceX rocket fails to blah blah blah without 416 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:14,840 Speaker 1: understanding the concept of what he's doing at all, or 417 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:17,920 Speaker 1: they understand the concept and like pretending that Elon is 418 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:22,199 Speaker 1: a failure. Then they mentioned the boot let me jump in. 419 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:26,359 Speaker 1: These dumb bastards if they were on the if they 420 00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 1: were on the beaches of Kitty Hawk, they'd be the 421 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:35,080 Speaker 1: right brothers failed again to launch their arrow plane. The 422 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 1: bicycle repairman who believed they could equal the birds that 423 00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:45,240 Speaker 1: fail again, right right, You could apply that to a 424 00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:49,399 Speaker 1: zillion different great breakthroughs in human history, I'm sure, all 425 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:51,840 Speaker 1: kinds of medicines and everything else where. You tried this, 426 00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:53,840 Speaker 1: it didn't work. Tried this, it didn't work. You tried 427 00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:55,720 Speaker 1: a thousand times it didn't work. But each time you 428 00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:57,520 Speaker 1: got a little closer until you figured it out. That's 429 00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:02,159 Speaker 1: why it works. You freaking morons. You did bastards. 430 00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:05,119 Speaker 2: To quote the great and crazy Pete Townshend of the 431 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:07,200 Speaker 2: WHO typewriter tappers, you're all. 432 00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:10,160 Speaker 1: Just crappers anyway. Then they mentioned on ABC Evening News 433 00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:13,520 Speaker 1: I'm watching last night about how the booster part then 434 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,040 Speaker 1: came down and was grabbed by the arms again, which 435 00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:19,719 Speaker 1: is one of the most amazing technological feats that has 436 00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:22,960 Speaker 1: ever happened on the planet. And you kind of YadA YadA, 437 00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:27,440 Speaker 1: yachta that. Yeah, shot a skyscraper into space, then brought 438 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:31,320 Speaker 1: it back and parallel parked it right any who, so 439 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:35,560 Speaker 1: there you go. Yeah. Oh, speaking of Elon Musk, Oh, 440 00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:38,879 Speaker 1: I just knocked my mouse into the garbage? Is that 441 00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:41,400 Speaker 1: a metaphor? Is that an omen? 442 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,080 Speaker 2: He used my finger now like it's I don't know, 443 00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:47,639 Speaker 2: like it's nineteen ninety here it is. 444 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:48,000 Speaker 1: So. 445 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:54,920 Speaker 2: Elon Musk, in an interview, came out strong against djt's big, 446 00:24:54,960 --> 00:25:00,200 Speaker 2: beautiful spending bill. He was being interviewed Sunday CBS Sunday 447 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:04,360 Speaker 2: Morning quote. I was disappointed to see a massive spending bill, frankly, 448 00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:07,760 Speaker 2: which increases the budget deficit, not just decrease it, and 449 00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:10,480 Speaker 2: undermines the work that the Doge team is doing. 450 00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:14,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, he's a businessman and he's big on the debt 451 00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:17,320 Speaker 1: and understands that it's just unsustainable. As Rand Paul said 452 00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:20,960 Speaker 1: on Sunday, is my favorite line on this. We spend five, 453 00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:25,119 Speaker 1: we spend seven, and we take in five trillion. We 454 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:28,960 Speaker 1: spend seven trillion, we take in five trillion every year. 455 00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:32,280 Speaker 1: We can't continue to do this. It's that simple, Ladies 456 00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:37,639 Speaker 1: and germs. Well, right, all right, Musk went on to say, 457 00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:42,880 Speaker 1: of the horrible betrayal bill, it's big but not beautiful. 458 00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:46,080 Speaker 1: I think a bill can be big or it could 459 00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:48,439 Speaker 1: be beautiful, but I don't know if it could be both. 460 00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:51,919 Speaker 1: And they talk about some of his doge goals and 461 00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:55,280 Speaker 1: how much money's actually been saved and how many jobs 462 00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:58,960 Speaker 1: have actually been cut, and he said, in the grand 463 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:00,720 Speaker 1: scheme of things, I think we've been effective, not as 464 00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,160 Speaker 1: effective as I'd like. I think we could be more effective, 465 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:06,120 Speaker 1: but we'd made progress. I'm glad to hear him coming 466 00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:09,920 Speaker 1: out against this horrific bill. And again Mike Johnson would say, dude, 467 00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:12,040 Speaker 1: the best we can get, Well, we don't have the 468 00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:14,159 Speaker 1: votes for anything more responsible. What do you want me 469 00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:16,040 Speaker 1: to do? It's our system of government, right, Well, we're 470 00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:18,240 Speaker 1: fair enough. What we need and are going to have 471 00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:20,119 Speaker 1: to have at some point, whether we like it or not, 472 00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:24,320 Speaker 1: is a new electorate. Is a big, painful bill that 473 00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:27,280 Speaker 1: is going to include all kinds of cuts to all 474 00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:30,760 Speaker 1: kinds of things and tax increases because we got no choice. 475 00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:33,240 Speaker 1: But you know, you kick the can down the road 476 00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:35,080 Speaker 1: as long as you can. I guess. Yeah. 477 00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:36,800 Speaker 2: One of the great truths of politics, and this is 478 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:38,240 Speaker 2: going to make you want to stick your head in 479 00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:43,800 Speaker 2: the oven, don't bother. The truth is, if you are 480 00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:46,439 Speaker 2: looking at say four year terms, just to keep it simple, 481 00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,280 Speaker 2: we'll go with presidents because everybody's fixating on the president. 482 00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:55,040 Speaker 2: You got the president who screams toward the cliff for 483 00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:58,080 Speaker 2: four years, and the next one of screams toward the cliff, 484 00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:00,760 Speaker 2: then the next one who streams toward the and then 485 00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:05,720 Speaker 2: on day three in office, the next guy or girl jack. 486 00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:08,200 Speaker 1: It's legal under the constitution, it could be a woman. 487 00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:11,640 Speaker 1: A woman president three days into their term we go 488 00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:16,880 Speaker 1: over the cliff. They will be blamed right or at 489 00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,960 Speaker 1: the very least, they will be tasked with fixing the problem. 490 00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:24,760 Speaker 1: And the negative effects, the punishment, the imprisonment or beatings 491 00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:27,359 Speaker 1: or fines that ought to go to the previous people 492 00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:30,080 Speaker 1: we've talked about, those will never exist. For the opposite, 493 00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:33,119 Speaker 1: historians will continue to rate them very highly for growing 494 00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:35,399 Speaker 1: these various programs over the years that put us in 495 00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:37,960 Speaker 1: the cataclysm that we got into. Back to stick in 496 00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:40,280 Speaker 1: your head in the oven, Yeah, you alerted me to 497 00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:42,199 Speaker 1: something a while back I had never thought of in 498 00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:44,880 Speaker 1: my life. So I've used the phrase makes me want 499 00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:46,679 Speaker 1: to stick my head in the oven, which is really 500 00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:51,800 Speaker 1: a pretty dark graphic sort of aside to say in 501 00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:55,600 Speaker 1: a semi humorous fashion, it's a like saying I'd like 502 00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:57,679 Speaker 1: to put a gun in my mouth. Yeah, it's a 503 00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:00,840 Speaker 1: suicide reference, and none of us take it seriously. But 504 00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:04,920 Speaker 1: thought I had never really thought about the I guess 505 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:06,960 Speaker 1: I had thought the stick your head in the oven 506 00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:10,320 Speaker 1: to make it so hot that you're you die. But 507 00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:12,040 Speaker 1: you're saying it's a gas thing because you said that 508 00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:14,480 Speaker 1: would do no good because most people have an electric oven. 509 00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:17,560 Speaker 1: Until then, I had never thought that it was a 510 00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:19,480 Speaker 1: gas thing. I always thought it was a heat thing. 511 00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:21,639 Speaker 1: So you stick your head in the oven, turn on 512 00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:23,679 Speaker 1: the gas, and then the fumes kill you. It's not 513 00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:27,520 Speaker 1: because you're cooking your head, yes, exactly, Okay, cooking your 514 00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:31,240 Speaker 1: head would be a slow and patience requiring effort to 515 00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:33,399 Speaker 1: to offer yourself. Probably want to preheat the oven, like 516 00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:36,359 Speaker 1: you're making a baked potato or something. Yes, Like turning 517 00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:39,360 Speaker 1: on your car in the garage, yeah, like I can. 518 00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:42,560 Speaker 1: It'd be be the equivalent now of me parking my 519 00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:46,240 Speaker 1: Tesla in the garage and closing the door and sitting 520 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:48,480 Speaker 1: there until I got turning it up, sitting there until 521 00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:49,959 Speaker 1: I need to pee or got very hungry, and then 522 00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,160 Speaker 1: going back in the house right till you just wander 523 00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:56,440 Speaker 1: out out of bordo. Like you know what, Now my 524 00:28:56,520 --> 00:29:02,400 Speaker 1: hope is rekindled and I'm just really bored. So that's hilarious. Douck. 525 00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:04,480 Speaker 1: You know what we're gonna do today. We're going to 526 00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:06,520 Speaker 1: leave enough time for mail bag because we never do, 527 00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:08,360 Speaker 1: and we got plenty of stuff. And man, there's a 528 00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:18,600 Speaker 1: lot of news today. Stay here. Joe Tani, who has 529 00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:24,680 Speaker 1: not pitched in almost two years, is about to pitch again. 530 00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:27,760 Speaker 1: It'll be very soon, according to the Dodgers, and he 531 00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:30,560 Speaker 1: looks fantastic as one of the best pitchers in baseball 532 00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:33,080 Speaker 1: and one of the best hitters in baseball will be 533 00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:36,200 Speaker 1: back doing both soon for the La Dodgers. So that's exciting. 534 00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:37,760 Speaker 1: I gotta get it. I gotta get to a game 535 00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:40,160 Speaker 1: at Dodgers Stadium and see him, because Eve, once in 536 00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:41,960 Speaker 1: one hundred years player, I. 537 00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:45,160 Speaker 2: Would agree, Yeah, that sounds really great. I wonder if 538 00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:46,800 Speaker 2: he just bagged I want to pitch, come on, I 539 00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:50,680 Speaker 2: really like pitch in here's your freedom loving quote of 540 00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:56,240 Speaker 2: the day. Loved this from Daniel Webster. God grants liberty 541 00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:59,280 Speaker 2: only to those who love it and are always ready 542 00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:06,240 Speaker 2: to guard. And liberty is not a marble edifice. It 543 00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:09,400 Speaker 2: is a garden. If it is not tended, it will die. 544 00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:13,480 Speaker 2: Very easy to take for granted. Oh yeah, definitely, I 545 00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:16,960 Speaker 2: think about that A lot mailbag drop us a note 546 00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:21,480 Speaker 2: mail bag at Armstrong and Getty dot com. Got this 547 00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:24,720 Speaker 2: from Sean on the topic of perseverance, which we were discussing, 548 00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:27,960 Speaker 2: I believe later in the show yesterday. I used to 549 00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:31,520 Speaker 2: tell my corporate coworkers that the healthiest way to approach 550 00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:35,840 Speaker 2: work challenges is to stop asking why are they doing 551 00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:42,000 Speaker 2: this and start asking why are they doing this to me? Yes, 552 00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:46,600 Speaker 2: make it personal, Sean, You're so. 553 00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:53,520 Speaker 1: Right about you to me right, do the same thing 554 00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:59,720 Speaker 1: like in traffic all the time. Anytime relationships, your spouse 555 00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:02,840 Speaker 1: is and you know, living their own life and expressing 556 00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:06,280 Speaker 1: their field, they're directing it towards you. It's about you. 557 00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:09,000 Speaker 1: They don't have their own stresses and needs. They're doing 558 00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:10,840 Speaker 1: it to you. Right. 559 00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:15,280 Speaker 2: Holding along Kevin the Texas Marine with the thought about 560 00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:18,480 Speaker 2: the night versus morning shower question, The answer is both. 561 00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:19,280 Speaker 1: I have a job. 562 00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:21,120 Speaker 2: Mike Crow might would approve of so I need a 563 00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:23,400 Speaker 2: shower after work. I also have a girlfriend, so I 564 00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:25,640 Speaker 2: shower in the morning, hopefully with her. Wow, well, good 565 00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:25,920 Speaker 2: for you. 566 00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:28,280 Speaker 1: There you go. Uh, but my real answer is shower never. 567 00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:30,960 Speaker 2: You want spend literally weeks in the field without being 568 00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:33,560 Speaker 2: able to do much more than rag cleaning, surrounded by 569 00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:35,680 Speaker 2: other guys who haven't been able to shower in weeks, 570 00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:36,600 Speaker 2: you will never. 571 00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:37,840 Speaker 1: Want to be stinky again. 572 00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:42,080 Speaker 2: As comedians Kevin the Texas Marine, who was stationed overseas 573 00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:44,000 Speaker 2: obviously on more than one occasion. 574 00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:45,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, I got to come in on that. As the 575 00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:48,920 Speaker 1: comedian Sarah Silverman once said, if you shower with your boyfriend, 576 00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:54,920 Speaker 1: your boobs will be very clean. Oh that's true. Yeah, 577 00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:57,440 Speaker 1: my brother went a whole month, might have been more 578 00:31:57,480 --> 00:31:59,920 Speaker 1: without a shower in Iraq. I think the first door 579 00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:03,600 Speaker 1: and has never been right since he showers like six 580 00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:06,880 Speaker 1: times a day. Yeah, yeah, who can blame him. 581 00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:10,960 Speaker 2: Moving along a different topic from frequent correspondent Pallo, guys 582 00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:13,520 Speaker 2: inspired by the story from the Wappo from the comment section, 583 00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:16,520 Speaker 2: you might consider it nutpicking finding people who spout off, 584 00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:18,360 Speaker 2: which is so easy to do. Nonetheless, I think it's 585 00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:19,240 Speaker 2: perfect in this case. 586 00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:20,200 Speaker 1: So I had to send it. 587 00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:23,360 Speaker 2: Here's what a Wappo commentator had to say about illegal immigration, quoting, 588 00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:26,000 Speaker 2: I'm happy with people that want to come here and 589 00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:28,320 Speaker 2: mow my lawn and pick my crops, whether they're. 590 00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:29,560 Speaker 1: Here legally or illegally. 591 00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:32,280 Speaker 2: I certainly don't expect you in the MAGA bigots to 592 00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:34,800 Speaker 2: be volunteering for those jobs. It just gives you a 593 00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:36,200 Speaker 2: reason to spew your bile. 594 00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:40,600 Speaker 1: That is the dumbest sentence or sentences I've ever heard. Right, 595 00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:43,680 Speaker 1: and how do you think this person feels about equity? 596 00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:44,719 Speaker 1: Paolo wants to know. 597 00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:47,320 Speaker 2: They'd probably have a big moralizing lecture for us on 598 00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:50,080 Speaker 2: the subject. Do you think he she is volunteering for 599 00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:53,720 Speaker 2: those jobs or feeling superior and relegating them to the 600 00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:56,560 Speaker 2: lesser among us. I could respond to the comment in 601 00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:58,920 Speaker 2: lots of snarky ways, but none better than you could 602 00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:00,720 Speaker 2: come up with yourself, I'm sure, so I'll just leave 603 00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:02,920 Speaker 2: it at that. Well, I don't know, Pallo, try your 604 00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:06,240 Speaker 2: hand at it. But oh my god, the great progressive 605 00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:09,800 Speaker 2: who believes in equity, who also believes in importing a 606 00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:13,640 Speaker 2: brown underclass to do the ugly jobs that we're too 607 00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:14,840 Speaker 2: good for, that. 608 00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:22,720 Speaker 1: Can't even recognize their hypocrisy. They amaze me. Yeah. 609 00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:26,840 Speaker 2: Another frequent correspondent, JT and livermore the media didn't fail 610 00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:29,800 Speaker 2: on Tuesday's final Hour, and the topic of the media's 611 00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:33,080 Speaker 2: failure probably imported on Biden's metal ink capacity. Jack said, 612 00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:34,800 Speaker 2: and I quote, oh, and there's more on this, believe 613 00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:37,720 Speaker 2: it or not. More really good info on the media. 614 00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:41,160 Speaker 2: Cover up'll cover up. But anyway, JT writes, Jack said, 615 00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:43,960 Speaker 2: it's the biggest failure of media in the nation's history. 616 00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:47,240 Speaker 2: Except from their point of view, it was not a failure. 617 00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:50,239 Speaker 2: It was the goal since the twenty twenty primaries. They 618 00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:53,120 Speaker 2: were biased against Trump and biased for Biden. Their goal 619 00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:56,560 Speaker 2: was to be political propagandists and partisans, and they succeeded. 620 00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:59,440 Speaker 1: Yeah. What's crazy about that, as others have pointed out, 621 00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:03,520 Speaker 1: is they got Trump elected. You moron, you'd have been 622 00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:06,400 Speaker 1: waiting if your goal was to stop Trump, you'd have 623 00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:10,319 Speaker 1: been way better off pointing out Biden's failures earlier and 624 00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:14,600 Speaker 1: having a longer period of time to for Kamala Harris's 625 00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:19,120 Speaker 1: campaign or for them to run somebody else or whatever. Right, Actually, 626 00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:20,360 Speaker 1: and JT disagrees. 627 00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:22,359 Speaker 2: He says, just because they weren't able to pull off 628 00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:25,440 Speaker 2: the impossible, ie get Biden reelected. Doesn't mean they failed 629 00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:28,319 Speaker 2: because they accomplished a lot. But no, I think you 630 00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:29,800 Speaker 2: win that mini argument. 631 00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:36,640 Speaker 1: They were so unwilling to let the chips fall, the 632 00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:39,880 Speaker 1: chips of democracy, which I mean, for God's sake, the 633 00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:44,520 Speaker 1: Washington Post, with their hilariously self important democracy dies in darkness. 634 00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:48,480 Speaker 1: I mean, these people are howling about democracy to constantly, 635 00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:52,600 Speaker 1: but they didn't trust it in iota. They had to 636 00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:56,319 Speaker 1: fix it in favor of Biden getting the nomination because 637 00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:59,080 Speaker 1: he was well, I guess the obvious guy. Well, yeah, 638 00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:01,640 Speaker 1: because you didn't let the prime this work. So yeah, 639 00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:09,560 Speaker 1: absolutely a miserable failure morally, ethically, and professionally. If you 640 00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:12,400 Speaker 1: may be covered in the slime of their own shame, 641 00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:16,120 Speaker 1: may be you may you be covered in slime of shame. Yes, 642 00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:21,279 Speaker 1: I like that. Well, you almost got it right. If 643 00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:24,920 Speaker 1: you miss this late in the day last night, uh, 644 00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:29,880 Speaker 1: Trump and Russia trading barbs about World War three and 645 00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:33,120 Speaker 1: threats and that sort of thing that are pretty freaking 646 00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:39,239 Speaker 1: big deal. We're at a major inflection point historically, ball 647 00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:41,319 Speaker 1: is still in Trump's court as far as I can 648 00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:43,799 Speaker 1: tell on this whole thing. We'll talk about that an 649 00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:46,120 Speaker 1: hour two. If you miss that, get the podcast Armstrong 650 00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:53,200 Speaker 1: and Getty on demand Armstrong and Getty
