1
00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

2
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe Getty, Armstrong and Jetty,

3
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:17,320
Speaker 1: and he Armstrong and Getty.

4
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 2: The origin dates to the fourth century of Rome and

5
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:32,200
Speaker 2: has been repeated ever since, including by our first Commander

6
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 2: in Chief, George Washington, the first leader of the War Department.

7
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 2: It captures a simple yet profound truth. To ensure peace,

8
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:45,520
Speaker 2: we must prepare for war.

9
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:51,560
Speaker 3: So, in a practically unprecedented move, Secretary of Pete Hegsath

10
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 3: called all your generals, admirals, everybody in charge of all

11
00:00:55,800 --> 00:01:00,279
Speaker 3: our military to come together there in DC. And for

12
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 3: some reason, and nobody knew for several days. And it

13
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 3: turned out it's a bit of a pep talk or

14
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 3: like refocusing talk that sometimes you have at your corporation.

15
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 3: You know, let's let's let's let's re let's refocus on

16
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 3: what we're trying to do here. And uh. And he's

17
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:20,400
Speaker 3: given a speech today and Trump came out and said, Wow,

18
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 3: that was a great speech. I don't want to I

19
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 3: don't want him to be so good. I hate that.

20
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 3: I almost fired him. I said, I don't want to

21
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 3: go on. After that, Trump said of Pete's speech that

22
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 3: it was too good. He wants to farm. They also

23
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 3: said Trump said, before we get back to Peach, which

24
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 3: I find is funny. Trump said, if you don't like

25
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,399
Speaker 3: what I'm saying, you can leave the room room, because

26
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 3: there goes your rank, there goes your future to the

27
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 3: generals super perfect.

28
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: I'll find with that, you know, I was just reading,

29
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 1: and then we'll get back to Pete's quotes. But I

30
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 1: was just reading about how pre Ronald Reagan are. We

31
00:01:56,320 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 1: were engaged in what was called an active defense strategy

32
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: of military management, especially in Europe, and we were weak

33
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: and drug addled and not very well armed against the

34
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: Soviet Union, and it was a very passive, flabby way

35
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 1: to run a military. And Pete, God bless him. I

36
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 1: love what he's saying because if as many pieces of

37
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: evidence reached our ears as did that our military had

38
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:32,640
Speaker 1: become a jobs program, a progressive jobs program, then it

39
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 1: needed an ass whooping. And that's what this sounds like.

40
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:36,359
Speaker 1: Pardon my French, folks.

41
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 3: And to Trump's comment, if you don't like what I'm saying,

42
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 3: you know you ought to leave. He knows there are

43
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 3: a lot of generals out there that were they got

44
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,239
Speaker 3: They rose through the ranks during the This is a

45
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:54,359
Speaker 3: social experiment times, and that's what that's their main thing. Yes,

46
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 3: and they would like to get rid of those people.

47
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 3: I would like to get rid of those people.

48
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 1: Next clip, Michael, the origin.

49
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,359
Speaker 4: Dates to them from this moment forward.

50
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 2: The only mission of the newly restored Department of War

51
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 2: is this war fighting, preparing for war, and preparing to win,

52
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 2: unrelenting and uncompromising in that pursuit. Not because we want war,

53
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 2: No one here wants war. But it's because we love peace.

54
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 2: We love peace for our fellow citizens. They deserve peace,

55
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 2: and they rightfully expect us to deliver it.

56
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 1: This reminds me, in an odd way of our discussion

57
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: about the Blue Cities policies toward junkies and how they

58
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 1: make it as easy as possible to be a junkie

59
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 1: and then are shock that they have more junkies. Pete Hegseith,

60
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 1: the Secretary of Defense of a secretary war is saying

61
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 1: we need to be so big and scary and capable

62
00:03:55,560 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 1: nobody dares make war on us self. Evidently true, and

63
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: to the extent that we straight from that philosophy, shame

64
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 1: on us well, right try to get the conversations about

65
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 1: our preparedness for fighting China as opposed to is the

66
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 1: military gonna pay for abortions if someone is pregnant on

67
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 1: a base and wants to go to another state where

68
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,279
Speaker 1: they don't allow you know, all that stuff. If a

69
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 1: man gets pregnant, will he be able to have as

70
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 1: a birthing person a government abortion in Spanish because he's

71
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,039
Speaker 1: an a legal immigrant and doesn't speak English. That is

72
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 1: my question to the General.

73
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 3: Oh Man, I love this.

74
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 1: Let's skip ahead to sixty three. Michael, I tell you

75
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 1: what some feathers are about to get ruffled. Brace yourself.

76
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:42,799
Speaker 2: We have a sacred duty to ensure that our warriors

77
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 2: are led by the most capable and qualified combat leaders.

78
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 2: This is one thing you and I can control, and

79
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:54,359
Speaker 2: we owe it to the force to deliver it. For

80
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:59,039
Speaker 2: too long we have simply not done that. The military

81
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:03,280
Speaker 2: has been forced foolish and reckless politicians to focus on

82
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:07,160
Speaker 2: the wrong things. In many ways, this speech is about

83
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 2: fixing decades of decay, some of it obvious, some of

84
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 2: it hidden, or as the Chairman has put it, we

85
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 2: are clearing out the debris, removing the distractions, clearing the

86
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 2: way for leaders to be leaders. You might say we're

87
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 2: ending the war on warriors. I heard someone wrote a

88
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,839
Speaker 2: book about that.

89
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 1: That was the wind up, Michael Nexclip here's the pitch.

90
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 2: For too long, we've promoted too many uniform leaders for

91
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 2: the wrong reasons, based on their race, based on gender quotas,

92
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 2: based on historics, so called firsts. We've pretended that combat

93
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 2: arms and non combat arms are the same thing. We've

94
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 2: weeded out so called toxic leaders under the guise of

95
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 2: double blind psychology assessments, promoting risk averse go along to

96
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 2: get along conformists instead.

97
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 3: You name it.

98
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:10,160
Speaker 4: The department did it. Foolish and reckless political.

99
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 2: Leaders set the wrong compass heading and we lost our way.

100
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:20,359
Speaker 4: We became the woke Department. But not anymore.

101
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 3: Oh that's good. Oh that is so good. That is

102
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:25,919
Speaker 3: good stuff. I can't wait to see this way this

103
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 3: is handled on the lefty media.

104
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 1: Woof all right, promoting the wrong people for the wrong reasons, gender, race, etc.

105
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:40,119
Speaker 1: Wolke Department, that was the gentle part. Now he gets going.

106
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 2: In sixty five, this administration has done a great deal

107
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 2: from day one to remove the social justice, politically correct

108
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 2: and toxic ideological garbage that had infected our department to

109
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 2: rip out the politics. No more identity months, DEI offices,

110
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 2: dudes in dresses, no more climate change worship. Yeah, no

111
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 2: more division distraction or gender delusions, No more debris. As

112
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 2: I've said before, and we'll say again, we are done

113
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 2: with that.

114
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 3: I don't know if you could hear that. It sounded

115
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 3: like there was a drone attack on Pete during the

116
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 3: speech mixer. Oh no, no, no, don't go back to

117
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 3: the pizza drinker thing. That's not fair. Michael.

118
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Michael, they did both of you.

119
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 3: Both of you.

120
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 1: Step just step to attention, both of you, or you'll

121
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 1: get drummed out of this man's army. We're done with that.

122
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 1: S No more dudes and dresses, no more DEI offices.

123
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 3: Well, the military, in my opinion, shouldn't spend a dollar

124
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 3: or a moment worried about climate change, not about China

125
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 3: and their military period.

126
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you worry about that, the rest of us

127
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 1: will worry if the ocean levels rise by a fifth

128
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 1: of an inch. We'll give you more boats, still boots.

129
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 3: You know, this is tougher because we're generally preaching to

130
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 3: the choir. I suppose although we get a fair number

131
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 3: of emails and texts from those of you tune in

132
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 3: because you don't agree agree with this, but find it

133
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 3: entertaining on some level. Do you realize if we get

134
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 3: beaten by China as the hyper power in the world,

135
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 3: none of the stuff you care about will ever happen?

136
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 3: I mean ever, you know? That's what has it great

137
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 3: point wear on Earth.

138
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 1: The only hope in hell you progressives have is for

139
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 1: the United States to continue to be strong. Think about

140
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 1: that as you try to tear it down from k

141
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:40,439
Speaker 1: through grad school.

142
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 3: If China, Russia, Iran and countries that fall into their

143
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 3: orbit get their way, climate change will become a non issue,

144
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 3: I guarantee, and nobody will say a word about it

145
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 3: for the next five hundred years. Yeah, go start in

146
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 3: pay We're done with that.

147
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:59,319
Speaker 1: S Tell Shieshin Ping about your concerns these The man

148
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 1: is rolling Michael next clip.

149
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,440
Speaker 2: Every parent deserves to know that their son or their

150
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:08,679
Speaker 2: daughter that joins our ranks is entering exactly the kind

151
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:09,479
Speaker 2: of unit.

152
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,079
Speaker 4: That the Secretary of War would.

153
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 2: Want his son to join. Think of it as the

154
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 2: Golden rule test Jesus said, do unto others.

155
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 4: That's which you would have done unto yourself. It's the

156
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 4: ultimate simplifying.

157
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 1: Test of truth.

158
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 2: The New War Department Golden rule is this, do onto

159
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 2: your unit as you would have done onto your own

160
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 2: child's unit. Would you want him serving with fat or

161
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 2: unfit or undertrained troops, or alongside people who can't meet

162
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 2: basic standards, or in a unit where standards were lowered

163
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 2: so certain types of troops could make.

164
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 4: It, in in a unit.

165
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 2: Where leaders were promoted for reasons other than merit performance

166
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 2: and war fighting.

167
00:09:58,559 --> 00:09:59,319
Speaker 4: The answer is not.

168
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 1: Just no, it's hell though.

169
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:03,719
Speaker 3: I'm on Pete's side, but I do wonder if he

170
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 3: if there's not a little bit of the I'm super

171
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 3: fit and everybody should be super fit.

172
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,199
Speaker 1: I don't understand why you're undermining it. This is this

173
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 1: is a great moment in America.

174
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 3: Well, that's fantastic, that's absolutely fantastically.

175
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 1: And your childish objections, I have no time for them.

176
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:16,960
Speaker 3: I don't know.

177
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,960
Speaker 1: Again, I thought I drummed you out like two minutes ago.

178
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 1: I'dvent two.

179
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 3: I might be right to self drum jack out of

180
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 3: the AAR again. As we discussed the last hour, I'm

181
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:30,080
Speaker 3: all for fat drone operators, if that's what it takes

182
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 3: that matter to me how fit they are.

183
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 1: But how about.

184
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 4: Don't call them a fat pig you can't get how.

185
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 1: About one hundred and thirty pound women in a infantry

186
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 1: combat situation?

187
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 3: Now, infantry combat completely different, right, I'll be right, And

188
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 3: that's I have a feeling Pete would agree with you,

189
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,599
Speaker 3: and I will be interested to hear him clarify.

190
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 1: Going forward, the technological branch of the service, however it

191
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 1: takes shape, is going to have different requirements and we'll

192
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 1: have to approach it in a different ways.

193
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:08,079
Speaker 3: Well, God, and based on what's happening in Ukraine and

194
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 3: all the writing that I've seen about this is what

195
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,559
Speaker 3: war is going to look like. Everybody pay attention. There's

196
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 3: a lot of that. There's a lot of technology involved.

197
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 1: Right right, But putting that aside for now, and I

198
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 1: think they have a common sense to do it. One

199
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 1: more clip because I'm loving this sixty seven Michael.

200
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:27,319
Speaker 4: This means at the.

201
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 2: War Department, first and foremost, we must restore a ruthless, dispassionate,

202
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 2: and common sense application of standards. I don't want my

203
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 2: son serving alongside troops who are out of shape, or

204
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 2: in combat unit with females who can't meet the same combat.

205
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 4: Arms physical standards as men.

206
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 2: Our troops who are not fully proficient on their assigned weapons,

207
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 2: platform or task, or under a leader who was the

208
00:11:55,679 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 2: first but not the best standards must be uniform, gender neutral,

209
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 2: and high. If not, they're not standards, they're just suggestions,

210
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 2: suggestions that get our sons and daughters killed.

211
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 1: The time has passed when we could have a kind

212
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 1: of fun, experimental military where we just have nice people.

213
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 1: That the first ever Eskimo woman promoted to a three

214
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,719
Speaker 1: star general, I mean, isn't that exciting. No, that time

215
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:30,200
Speaker 1: is passed.

216
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, we don't have that last portion. And if they

217
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 3: are the female Eskimo, fine, then they should be the

218
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,079
Speaker 3: three star general. But if they're not, then pick somebody else.

219
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 1: Right right. Quick word from our friends at web Root.

220
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 1: Huge breach of TransUnion. We've told you about four million

221
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 1: people effective affected. That's a wake up call and it's

222
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 1: not the first. These breaches happen constantly. That's why we

223
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 1: suggest webroot total protection. It's not just anti virus, it's

224
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 1: identity protection all sorts of different ways for up to

225
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 1: ten people, dark web monitoring, even a million bucks, up

226
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 1: to a million bucks in fraud expense reimbursement.

227
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 3: I worry about this just because I hate tasks like

228
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 3: this in paperwork. If your identity gets stolen somehow online,

229
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 3: it can take hundreds of hours to fix it yourself,

230
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 3: or you could let webroot handle it twenty four to

231
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 3: seven US based support Elder Fraud Hotline. By the way,

232
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,440
Speaker 3: all kinds of good stuff includes a VPN, cloud, backup,

233
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 3: anti virus, the whole package. It's like digital armor for

234
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 3: your entire household.

235
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 1: Get fifty percent off webroot Total Protection or webroot Essential.

236
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 1: Say webroot dot com slash armstrong. That's webroot dot com

237
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 1: slash armstrong. You remember, use our code to get fifty

238
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 1: percent off webroot dot com slash armstrong.

239
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:41,479
Speaker 3: No more fat generals.

240
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 4: Yes, we are done with that.

241
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:48,080
Speaker 3: Oh, he actually dropped an S bomb.

242
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 1: You know, I'm going into combat next to a dainty

243
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 1: little transgender fellow. But I tell you what it's worth

244
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 1: it for the equality. Mom, I'll right to you after

245
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 1: the battle's over. We're done with that. As they had

246
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 1: DEI departments in the military. Oh, that's horrifying. How long

247
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 1: did that last? Oh my god, that is horrifying. We

248
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 1: let the woke mind virus, the neo Marxist infection. Go

249
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 1: so far?

250
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:18,320
Speaker 3: Okay, we got more than we got to take a break.

251
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 3: Stay here, I get this. I read that nearly two

252
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 3: hundred thousand BMW's were just recalled over a potential fire risk.

253
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 2: Don't worry, the rest will continue taking up two parking

254
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 2: spaces at the mall.

255
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 1: Just where because yours fancy?

256
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 3: All right?

257
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 1: This story came to us via alert listener and longtime

258
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 1: friend of the Armstrong and Giddy showed Dave. He texted

259
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 1: it to me. My words crossed the line After social

260
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 1: media fire storm, Joe Bullard apologizes. Joe Bullard is the

261
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 1: band announcer for Florida A and M University. The band announcer,

262
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 1: the band announcer. Yes, apparently their band is well known

263
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 1: for their entertaining halftime shows, and they have an announcer

264
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 1: who says stuff during the show, and I read. If

265
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 1: we had time, I would like to read this entire

266
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 1: piece to you, because you have to read and read

267
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 1: and read things like social media firestorm apology blah blah blah.

268
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 1: My comments directed toward the ASU honey Bees with a

269
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 1: z or men as lighthearted banter, but I now recognize

270
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 1: that they came across in a way that was hurtful

271
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 1: and disrespectful. For that, I extend my deepest and most

272
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 1: heartfelt apologies to. Then he lists like every organization that

273
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 1: was within twenty five miles of the football field when

274
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 1: he did the horrible thing to any one who was offended,

275
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 1: I am truly start sorry. He goes on to write

276
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 1: that friendly competition and playful jesting have long been part

277
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 1: of the HBCU band culture. Blah blah blah as an

278
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 1: elder who has been blessed to serve and witness the

279
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 1: brilliance blah blah blah in her own apology earlier in

280
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 1: the day, the university president voudu blah blah blah, when

281
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 1: asked about the apology the other school said blah blah,

282
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 1: and they still hadn't gotten to what the f The

283
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 1: guy said, no, I know, you have to go and

284
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 1: go and go and go.

285
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 3: What did he say that was so horrific? What he

286
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 3: said was anouncer for the band, that's right.

287
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 1: The band announcer posted on Facebook that the ASU Honeybees,

288
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 1: which is their legendary plus sized girls dance troupe, was

289
00:16:53,560 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 1: quote unquote the new face of ozempic. What and I

290
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 1: only gave you like half of the apologizing and bowing

291
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 1: and scraping and weeping and tearing of garments and vowing

292
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:11,639
Speaker 1: to do better and shame brought to my family and

293
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 1: my school. And I've plucked out one of my own

294
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 1: eyes and shown my bitter, bitter self hatred. Blah blah blah.

295
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 1: Finally they get to the comment, which was blasted as

296
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:24,399
Speaker 1: demeaning and disparaging.

297
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 3: He plucked out one of my own eyes to show

298
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 3: how is shaped right.

299
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,400
Speaker 1: The Big Old Gal Dance Troupe was the new face

300
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 1: of Ozampic, he said online.

301
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:36,479
Speaker 3: So God, I came across a video the other day

302
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 3: of what they do at Alabama games. They play the

303
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 3: Alabama song Dixie Land Delight, and then the crowd chants

304
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,440
Speaker 3: things in between the lyrics. Have you ever seen that before?

305
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 3: It was hilarious.

306
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 1: That made me wish I was there.

307
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:53,680
Speaker 3: They did. It's a famous song if you don't know

308
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 3: Alabama as a music group from the eighties, like the

309
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 3: biggest thing in America at the time. Anyway, they sing

310
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:03,400
Speaker 3: something the whole crowd chance f Auburn and then there's

311
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:08,440
Speaker 3: another line and Georgia too. That's fantastic. I thought that

312
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 3: is great. That is some really great America stuff right there.

313
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 3: More of that, let's cat more of that. That's what

314
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 3: we need. A historic day possibly stay tuned.

315
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getty.

316
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 5: The President laying out a twenty point plan that would

317
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:30,200
Speaker 5: see Hamas release all of the remaining hostages and agree

318
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:32,920
Speaker 5: not to have any role in the governance of Gaza

319
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:33,920
Speaker 5: in any form.

320
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 6: The plan that we put forward today is focused on

321
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:41,640
Speaker 6: ending the war immediately, getting all of our hostages back,

322
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 6: getting everything back.

323
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 3: Now. I don't blame you if you kind of like

324
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 3: spaced off during that or are thinking about turning the

325
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 3: dial or whatever. Yet another how we're going to solve

326
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 3: the midd least thing. Here's what you need to know.

327
00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:01,920
Speaker 3: NPR loves this plan. Fox and Friends loves this plan. Obviously,

328
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:05,399
Speaker 3: Trump and Netanyahu loved this plan. The Arab countries love

329
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 3: this plan. Tom Friedman of The New York Times loves

330
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,399
Speaker 3: this plan. You got a group of people that are

331
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:14,440
Speaker 3: backing this idea that never come together on anything, right,

332
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 3: which is pretty damned interesting.

333
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 1: In the cynical man's bet, of course, this won't work.

334
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 1: Nothing ever works, and I'll just keep going like they've

335
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 1: always been going. The difference being Israel has vowed, with

336
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 1: the backing of the US and kind of the sort

337
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:32,399
Speaker 1: of backing of everybody else, that if they don't go

338
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:35,200
Speaker 1: for this, you get to go hogwild. Yeah, And we'll

339
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:37,719
Speaker 1: hear more about that and the rest of this reporting

340
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 1: on ABC News.

341
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 5: In exchange, Israel will not occupy or annex Gaza and

342
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 5: would slowly withdraw its military, though not fully.

343
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:49,880
Speaker 6: All parties will agree on a timeline for Israeli forces

344
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:54,639
Speaker 6: to withdraw in phases. Will be withdrawing in phases, no

345
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 6: more shooting.

346
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 5: Hopefully, Gaza would be governed by an apolitical Palestinian committee

347
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:03,120
Speaker 5: over by an international Board of Peace, with Trump as

348
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 5: its chairman. And while just months ago Trump said Palestinians

349
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:10,200
Speaker 5: would have to leave Gaza, under this plan, no one

350
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 5: will be forced to leave Gaza. We will encourage people

351
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 5: to stay.

352
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:16,879
Speaker 3: Trump's the chairman of the Board of Peace, but it's

353
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 3: going to be run by a former Prime Minister of

354
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:22,360
Speaker 3: Great Britain and then a whole bunch of Arab countries

355
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 3: right underneath him working together. So and then here comes

356
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 3: the threat.

357
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 7: Part I support your planned to end the war in

358
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 7: Gaza which achieves our warnings.

359
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 5: But Netan yahoo with this warning.

360
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 1: If a Maas refuses to accept.

361
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 7: Then as we will finish the job by itself. This

362
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 7: can be done the easy way, or it can be

363
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:49,159
Speaker 7: done the hard way, but it.

364
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 1: Will be done. Well.

365
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:55,160
Speaker 3: We ought to play a play forty three there, Michael,

366
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 3: because this is Trump on that.

367
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 6: I have a feeling that we're going to have a

368
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 6: positive answer. But if not, as you know, maybe you'd

369
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 6: have more full backing.

370
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 1: To do what you would have to do. Yeah, that's

371
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:09,439
Speaker 1: a heck of a thing.

372
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 3: Then I was saying, they don't agree to this, We're

373
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,200
Speaker 3: going to do whatever we gotta do, and Trump says,

374
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 3: you got our full backing right. So to me, one

375
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:19,879
Speaker 3: of the reasons this is such a big deal is

376
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:23,159
Speaker 3: when you've got NPR saying this is this is they

377
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:27,359
Speaker 3: get a lot Hamas should agree to this, and Fox

378
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:34,640
Speaker 3: agrees that would Hamas have any political cover at least

379
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:41,160
Speaker 3: domestically if they reject this For what happens next, Well,

380
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:41,880
Speaker 3: they don't.

381
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:45,680
Speaker 1: Depend on political cover in the same way that normal

382
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 1: societies do, because they just slaughter you if you disagree

383
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 1: with them. Here's what does not change no matter what

384
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 1: else changes. This does not change. Hamas is dedicated to

385
00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 1: the destruction of Israel period. If they agree to this,

386
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 1: it's only because it's their last option. They know they

387
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 1: won't survive not agreeing to it. But they will plot

388
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:14,720
Speaker 1: from this moment on to once again become a force

389
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 1: that can obliterate is Or. But you know, Phebe not

390
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 1: in Yahoo knows that. Yeah, but that's fine.

391
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 3: I mean, if you establish if this, if they agree

392
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:27,920
Speaker 3: to it, and you establish some sort of area there

393
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:34,680
Speaker 3: with Gaza with eight Arab countries and former prime minister

394
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:39,359
Speaker 3: camera and run in the thing and Hamas attacks that,

395
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:40,920
Speaker 3: that would be that'd be a big deal.

396
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:44,119
Speaker 1: Well, and especially if if this plan works out, and

397
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 1: my god, I hope it does. But you will have

398
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:52,359
Speaker 1: a new level of peace and prosperity in those territories

399
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 1: that the good people, you know, perverted as they are

400
00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 1: by the propaganda that they've been fed their our lives,

401
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:04,119
Speaker 1: they will start to think, hey, this is really really great.

402
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 1: And so Hamas ought to be starved of the support

403
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:12,919
Speaker 1: in the lifeline that they would need to reconstitute themselves

404
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 1: as a significant force.

405
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:17,360
Speaker 3: Okay, So here's the interesting thing here. So while you've

406
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:19,640
Speaker 3: got a peace plan coming out of Donald Trump that's

407
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 3: got the backing of left, right and center, and I

408
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 3: mean many of Trump's biggest critics that exist in America

409
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:32,199
Speaker 3: are on board saying this is a good deal. Support

410
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 3: for Israel has dramatically declined. According to this poll that's

411
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 3: out in the New York Times today, a majority of

412
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:43,640
Speaker 3: American voters now oppose economic and military aid to Israel,

413
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 3: a stunning reversal in public opinion since the October seventh attack,

414
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,959
Speaker 3: says the New York Times, it is dropped off a cliff.

415
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:54,120
Speaker 3: And we have explained that, and we'll explain it again

416
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:56,719
Speaker 3: here in a little bit. A majority of Americans now

417
00:23:56,720 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 3: a post sending money or a military aids, which we've

418
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:03,160
Speaker 3: been doing for a very long time. About six out

419
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:05,960
Speaker 3: of ten voters said that Israel should end its military

420
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:09,879
Speaker 3: campaign even if the remaining Israeli hostages were not released

421
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:14,879
Speaker 3: or Hamas was not eliminated. Sixty percent of Americans say.

422
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:17,160
Speaker 1: That you have no idea what you're talking about.

423
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 3: Forty percent of voters say Israel it was intentionally killing

424
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 3: civilians in Gaza.

425
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:24,879
Speaker 1: That's double the number of.

426
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 3: A year ago.

427
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:28,440
Speaker 1: Propaganda works.

428
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, so getting to that and the numbers are

429
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,680
Speaker 3: really high among the young. So as we were talking

430
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 3: about last hour, you know, okay, so you got all

431
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 3: your college kids or a lot of that poll and

432
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 3: that's what their college teachers are telling them, and that's what,

433
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 3: like most of the mainstream media is telling them. Then

434
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:50,399
Speaker 3: you got to wonder how many of those people that

435
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 3: have turned on Israel are Maga or Republicans or you know,

436
00:24:55,920 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 3: the right that are into Tucker Carlson and Canda and

437
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 3: Benny Johnson.

438
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:04,680
Speaker 1: In that crowd. Oh, the whole Jews are trying to

439
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 1: control America. Jews do control America. The Jews killed Charlie Kirk,

440
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:13,879
Speaker 1: that crowd, right, Yeah, speaking of which I made reference

441
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 1: to this I think a couple of days ago. But

442
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:20,360
Speaker 1: the headline from the Times of Israel is Tucker Carlson

443
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 1: appears to blame Jews for killing Charlie Kirk with his

444
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 1: story on Jesus' death. And they describe, if you heard

445
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:31,359
Speaker 1: the speech he talks about just like Jesus, a bunch

446
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:35,679
Speaker 1: of hummus eating people who didn't want to let him

447
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:37,960
Speaker 1: speak anymore, decided to kill him. That was the only

448
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:41,239
Speaker 1: way to stop his message. And you know, as far

449
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:45,440
Speaker 1: as it went directly. The idea was that they didn't

450
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 1: stop Jesus and his message, and they won't stop Charlie

451
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 1: Kirk's message either, And so that was nice in life affirming.

452
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:56,360
Speaker 1: But the whole people sitting around eating hummus deciding who

453
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 1: should live and who should die and who should speak

454
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:04,880
Speaker 1: was viewed as coded. The Jews did it in Israel,

455
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 1: in Arab countries, Muslim countries, they were celebrating it. Tucker Carlson,

456
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:15,359
Speaker 1: prominent American conservative, blames the Jews for killing Charlie Kirk.

457
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 3: Well, Tucker's not sitting around eating hummus. He appears to

458
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 3: be sitting around eating donuts, as he has gotten quite

459
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 3: round faced over the last couple of years.

460
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 1: Maybe anti Semitism slows your metabolism.

461
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 4: I don't call him a fat pick, you can't.

462
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:35,359
Speaker 1: But uh, this is this is a sideline. This is

463
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:35,960
Speaker 1: not important.

464
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,639
Speaker 3: But do you think Tucker comes by this naturally or

465
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:41,199
Speaker 3: is he just found an angle to be more popular

466
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:44,440
Speaker 3: and make money. Does he believe this stuff? I don't know.

467
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:46,639
Speaker 3: I just don't know. No way he grew up the

468
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 3: way he grew up in the Bay Area and in Washington,

469
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:52,480
Speaker 3: d C. And all the stuff he's done his whole

470
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 3: life that he believes this.

471
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, there are a list of quote unquote right wing

472
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 1: influencers and hosts and such who I would go ahead

473
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:06,960
Speaker 1: and just describe as shameless grifters preying on the weak

474
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 1: of mind. Tucker, I don't know. I don't know because

475
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 1: I admired him so much as a thinker and a writer,

476
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:16,240
Speaker 1: and he's so smart and funny. But yeah, he's either

477
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 1: lost his mind or has become completely wildly sim But

478
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 1: the cratering support for Israel.

479
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 3: Financial aid, economic aid, and military aid, that's a big

480
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:33,120
Speaker 3: political problem for Israel because you're going to have you're

481
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:36,639
Speaker 3: going to have a house, whether it drawn by the

482
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:39,880
Speaker 3: Democrats or Republicans who are under a lot of pressure

483
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 3: to not continue what we've been doing my whole life. Yes,

484
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:46,960
Speaker 3: it's a bigger problem for Republicans, no doubt, who are

485
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 3: much more staunching their support of Israel. Yeah, and whether

486
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 3: it came about through a shameless propaganda by the media

487
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 3: and the educational system or not, it's still a challenge.

488
00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 3: As I said earlier, Israel is being held to a

489
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 3: standard for protecting, feeding, nurturing the civilians of its adversaries.

490
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 1: Adversary in a way that no government or army has

491
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 1: ever been held to that standard in the history of warfare.

492
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:20,200
Speaker 1: Just completely unique, I mean, an invented. Are you out

493
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:22,199
Speaker 1: of your mind? Set of standards that the New York

494
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:26,359
Speaker 1: Times and company hold Israel to? And yet because it

495
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 1: is put forth is what is plainly clearly good and true,

496
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 1: people think, yeah, that's plainly good and true. They're right,

497
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 1: Israel's being way too mean. And I don't demand that

498
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 1: every Americans study the Middle East for their entire life.

499
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 1: They've been misled. The argument or the issue has been

500
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 1: reframed in such a way that Israel can't win.

501
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 3: But how about this coming out of last week when

502
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:52,840
Speaker 3: Israel was really you know, all those countries that came

503
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 3: out in favor of a two state solution and for

504
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 3: the first time recognized a Palestinian state and everybody bad

505
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 3: mouth and Israel were the only that stood with Israel.

506
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 3: And now here you are a week later with all

507
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:09,960
Speaker 3: the major players, Arab states, lefty journalists and people on

508
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 3: the right saying this is a good plan, a moss

509
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 3: should take it.

510
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:18,720
Speaker 1: That is something that is so What is gnosticism and

511
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 1: what does it have to do with Candice Owens and

512
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 1: hating the Jews and stuff. After being a gnostic, Oh

513
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 1: the G the G is silent, right gnostic that in

514
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:32,160

537
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 3: It's kind of become a joke in my house. Like

538
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 3: if if I like eat a lot, like I ate

539
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 3: a lot at breakfast the other day, surprising and I say,

540
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 3: oh my god, I'm having a heart attack. It's a

541
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 3: race between Sam and Henry for one of them to say,

542
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 3: I get your watch. I don't know.

543
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 1: It's like Colin shotgun exactly boy, oh exactly. Well, you

544
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 1: got a lot to keep from crime. Oh, the story

545
00:30:56,840 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 1: of Candice Owens and and blaming the Jews a gnosticism, gnostics,

546
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 1: you will recognize people in your life when I hit

547
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 1: you with this description.

548
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 3: I'm gonna check out of all of this and watch

549
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 3: baseball later today. That's what I'm gonna do. Okay, we've

550
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 3: got a lot on the way. Stay here, being human,

551
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:26,160
Speaker 3: I tell you what ain't easy. So as asking the

552
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:29,960
Speaker 3: question of so the cratering support for Israel, according to

553
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 3: this New York Times poll that is out today, a

554
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 3: lot of it is the young who've been told by

555
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 3: all of the media, practically and their college professors that

556
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 3: Israel is evil, So not surprising that they've changed their views.

557
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 3: But how about the right, you know, the Tucker Carlson,

558
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:52,480
Speaker 3: Candace Owen's crowd that think Israel is evil? Now, I guess.

559
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 1: We got this text.

560
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:56,479
Speaker 3: I kind of think Tucker and Candace at all are

561
00:31:56,520 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 3: being paid handsomely by Katar. That explains a lot. Hmmm.

562
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 1: Now, remember they are spreading tens of billions of dollars

563
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 1: around to universities and lobbyists in anyone they can get

564
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 1: to influence with.

565
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 3: Now, Bennie Johnson, who does a talk show, he is

566
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 3: not cool if Israel he was getting paid by RT

567
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:20,160
Speaker 3: Russian state media.

568
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, but hugely popular. He's shockingly popular.

569
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 7: Yeah.

570
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 1: Online. So I thought there was an interesting Wall Street journal.

571
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:33,480
Speaker 1: Would Tucker need Tucker doesn't need money. I have no

572
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:35,520
Speaker 1: idea what's going on with Tucker. I really don't. I

573
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 1: would love to know that.

574
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 3: But Josh Apple wrote a piece.

575
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:41,040
Speaker 1: The assassination to Charlie Kirk has become another battleground for

576
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:45,960
Speaker 1: conspiracy theories about Jewish influence and other nefarious forces. Just

577
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 1: as on a side, I think I mentioned this yesterday

578
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 1: on the show that as I was getting ready to

579
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:55,400
Speaker 1: kick off the Monday show. I realized that a lot

580
00:32:55,480 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 1: of the stuff from Friday was not one horrific America

581
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 1: stops and takes a look at itself act of violence ago.

582
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:10,000
Speaker 1: It was two ago. So I mean all those follow

583
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 1: ups and stuff like that that probably ought to be

584
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 1: talked about was just two out a day. We've had

585
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 1: so much horror since then three days ago probably ought

586
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 1: to move on, which is a hell of a deal anyway.

587
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:23,720
Speaker 1: So conspiracy theories about Jewish influence and other Nefari's forces,

588
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:26,760
Speaker 1: within hours, and despite evidence of the alleged shooter's identity

589
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 1: and motive online influence, just began weaving elaborate tales. Ian

590
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 1: Carroll declared within twenty four hours that quote. The Internet

591
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 1: already figured out who most likely the culprit was spinning

592
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:41,479
Speaker 1: a story of financier Bill Ackman and bb Netanyau who

593
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:45,040
Speaker 1: pressuring Kirk behind closed doors. Candace Owens spent a week

594
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 1: suggesting that Jews had been threatening Kirk because he was

595
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 1: seeing the light about Israel's influence. When others debunked these fantasies,

596
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 1: the conspiracy theorists didn't retreat. They doubled down. For instance,

597
00:33:56,760 --> 00:34:00,280
Speaker 1: of the New York Posts reporting quite specifically about the

598
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 1: shoot her and what he believed. Miss Owens wrote, you

599
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 1: don't have to listen to that because the New York

600
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:08,359
Speaker 1: Post is an outfit of the massad. Anyone rebutting their

601
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:12,160
Speaker 1: claims was accused of participating in a cover up. And

602
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:16,520
Speaker 1: here's the kind of interesting, somewhat to three hundred level

603
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 1: class part of this piece by Josh Apple. This should

604
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 1: sound familiar to anyone who studied religious history. What we're

605
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 1: witnessing is a digital form of gnosticism, a first century

606
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:30,239
Speaker 1: Christian heresy that holds the material world is evil and

607
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 1: that a special KnowledgeR Gnosis lifts us out of its

608
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 1: corruption into redemption. Salvation under its theory, requires neither faith

609
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:41,880
Speaker 1: nor action, only the recognition that you're being lied to

610
00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:46,120
Speaker 1: and that your soul belongs elsewhere. Then it talks about

611
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:48,920
Speaker 1: malevolent forces controlling the world, and they get into some

612
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:52,480
Speaker 1: fairly elaborate descriptions. But here's where the rubber meets the road.

613
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 1: Bah bah bah. Modern conspiracy culture operates on similar principles.

614
00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 1: Like ancient gnostics, today's online truth se believe malevolent forces

615
00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 1: control the visible world. Mainstream institutions, media, and government aren't

616
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:11,720
Speaker 1: imperfect human constructs but tools of a cosmic deception. Modern

617
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:15,680
Speaker 1: gnostics believe in what is deliberately hidden. Watch this video,

618
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 1: listen to this podcast, read this thread, and you'll be

619
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:22,080
Speaker 1: awakened to secret truths that ordinary people can't see. It

620
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:26,440
Speaker 1: doesn't hurt that many offerings are behind a paywall. Then

621
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:28,800
Speaker 1: they give a bunch of different examples, but it's always

622
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:34,000
Speaker 1: we have the secret knowledge other people don't have. You

623
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:37,320
Speaker 1: will be in the the Enlightenment one. You will be smarter,

624
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:40,360
Speaker 1: your soul will be redeemed because you know the truth.

625
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 1: That's absolutely that's a great description of so much of

626
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:51,840
Speaker 1: the pizza Gates, infernal Hollywood child trafficking thing of a jigger.

627
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:55,760
Speaker 3: So Cana Zones has seven point two million followers on Twitter.

628
00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:59,279
Speaker 3: Mm hmm, that's a lot. And I just looked through

629
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 3: her top tweet to the day. They're almost all about

630
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:08,320
Speaker 3: how Israel's controlling everything, including Trump. Trump is uh allowing

631
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:12,919
Speaker 3: Israel to purchase our speech and everything that he says.

632
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:15,359
Speaker 3: So that's interesting to that crowd has turned on Trump.

633
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:17,839
Speaker 1: I guess yeah, oh yeah, one hundred percent.

634
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:19,400
Speaker 3: This was some of them.

635
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:23,400
Speaker 1: Anyway, This isn't healthy political discourse, it's spiritual pathology masquerading

636
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:26,719
Speaker 1: his analysis. Still, the appeal is obvious. Nastissism offers a

637
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:30,120
Speaker 1: flattering explanation for life's difficulties. Your problems aren't the result

638
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:34,120
Speaker 1: of bad decisions, random misfortune, or complex social forces. They're

639
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:37,680
Speaker 1: the fault of shadowy puppet masters. Most seductively, you don't

640
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:40,279
Speaker 1: need to do anything difficult to overcome them. You only

641
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:43,680
Speaker 1: need to know the right secrets. Charlie Kirk, for what

642
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:46,359
Speaker 1: it's worth, saw the danger of that sort of thinking

643
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 1: and denounced it as demonic last month. And like the

644
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:55,320
Speaker 1: ancient gnostics, modern conspiracists view contradiction as confirmation. When authorities

645
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:58,720
Speaker 1: debunk their theories, it's proof that the conspiracy actually goes deeper.

646
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:03,600
Speaker 3: You know, the whole blaming the Jews has been around

647
00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:07,000
Speaker 3: forever and I don't have never quite understood it. Reading Ulysses,

Speaker 3: which is about the year nineteen oh four, they're walking

649
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:14,880
Speaker 3: around Dublin constantly blaming the Jews for everything, and they

650
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:17,200
Speaker 3: are conversations at the bars and everything like that. I mean,

651
00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:20,840
Speaker 3: it's just it's been a part of Western sieve for

652
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:25,279
