1 00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:06,760 Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 2 00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:11,440 Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe Getty, arm Strong and 3 00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:18,920 Speaker 1: Jetty and no He Armstrong and Yetty. 4 00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:27,080 Speaker 2: This week, European leaders are focused on both trade and Tehran. 5 00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:30,280 Speaker 2: US allies will meet with Iranian officials in Turkey to 6 00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:33,720 Speaker 2: talk about its nuclear program, something Iran's foreign minister said 7 00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:37,199 Speaker 2: on special report last night it has no plans to abandon. 8 00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:45,040 Speaker 1: We cannot give up our enrichment because it is an 9 00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:47,000 Speaker 1: achievement of our own scientists. 10 00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:50,680 Speaker 2: Trump posted on social media future strikes against Iran are possible, 11 00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:53,320 Speaker 2: writing We'll do it again if necessary. 12 00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:57,440 Speaker 3: What was that comment from the Iranian foreign minister? We 13 00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,880 Speaker 3: can't give up our program because it's an achievement are 14 00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:04,399 Speaker 3: of our scientists? What the hell kind of argument is that? 15 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,639 Speaker 1: That was a very odd one. I was just reading 16 00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:10,640 Speaker 1: about all of those scientists. What was that? Was it 17 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:15,360 Speaker 1: nineteen who Israel took out, Yeah, as part of the 18 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 1: big raid, and how senior they were and how they're 19 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,360 Speaker 1: in charge of everything. That was that. I think the 20 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 1: bombs in Florida were certainly significant, and Israel's other bombing 21 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 1: very significant, But I think the whole rub it out 22 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 1: all those scientists is underappreciated. 23 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 3: Probably make the next generation of smart kids. Maybe choose 24 00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 3: a different major. Also, I was going to be a 25 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,119 Speaker 3: nuclear scientist, but I think I'll study something else. 26 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 1: Can I do computers? Please? 27 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:44,759 Speaker 3: Right before we get to the main thing I wanted 28 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 3: to get to. So, Fox's number one story today, just 29 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:52,320 Speaker 3: observing Fox, is that scumbag murderer up in Idaho and 30 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 3: is sentencing today. Any idea why they elevated that to 31 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 3: the number one story? 32 00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 1: If it blades it, Lads, it's just a sort of 33 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 1: kind of low browish, clickbaity horrifying murders. You don't, I myself, 34 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,360 Speaker 1: I want to know about that because it's part of 35 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:14,400 Speaker 1: you know, our psycheist human beings. We want to know 36 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 1: more about what might kill us on how to prevent it. 37 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 3: Okay, So Brett Stevens, he's an opinion piece journalist for 38 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,360 Speaker 3: the New York Times. As a piece out today, No, 39 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 3: Israel's not committing a genocide, which I think is you know, 40 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,400 Speaker 3: good news that the New York Times is willing to 41 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 3: print that. I'm sure the newsroom was very upset about that. 42 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 3: It's also an argument that needs to be made. I'm 43 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,359 Speaker 3: gonna skip to the very end before I get into 44 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 3: some of the details, because I thought it was pretty 45 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 3: important that. 46 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 1: He said this. 47 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 3: Genocide is a word that was coined in the nineteen forties, 48 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 3: and if it is to retain its status as a 49 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:56,520 Speaker 3: uniquely horrific crime, then the term can't be promiscuously applied 50 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 3: to any military situation. 51 00:02:57,960 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 1: We don't like. 52 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 3: Wars are awful enough, but the abuse of the term 53 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 3: genocide runs the risk of ultimately blinding as to real 54 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 3: ones when they unfold, which is obviously true. Diluting the 55 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 3: meeting of genocide of the word will only make them 56 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:16,240 Speaker 3: more likely to. 57 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,799 Speaker 1: Happen, right, Yeah, it's like clearly argued for years when 58 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,919 Speaker 1: everybody was calling everybody a racist for anything they didn't like. 59 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:24,679 Speaker 1: Of course we didn't understand it was an effort to 60 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 1: take over institutions, but yeah, it's the same thing. It 61 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,359 Speaker 1: weakens the word, Oh I'm racist. Who cares you call 62 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 1: everybody a racist? You call everything a genocide. 63 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 3: He makes the argument that the term genocide does not 64 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,280 Speaker 3: fit with the facts on the ground, with what Israel 65 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 3: is doing in Gaza. He points out, for instance, if 66 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 3: Israel's intentions and actions are genocidal. If it is so 67 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 3: malevolent that is committed to the annihilation of Gozins, which 68 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 3: is what a genocide would be, why hasn't it been 69 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 3: more methodical and vastly more deadly or more successful. Why 70 00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:00,160 Speaker 3: not say hundreds of thousands of deaths after two years 71 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 3: of being at this as opposed to about sixty thousand, 72 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 3: which is the claim of the Hamas run Health Ministry. 73 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 3: And they're probably exaggerating, and they don't distinguish between combatant 74 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 3: and civilian deads. Even their exaggerated number that includes Hamas 75 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 3: combatants is sixty thousand, not hundreds of thousands. If Israel 76 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,679 Speaker 3: has wanted to commit a genocide, they're the most powerful 77 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 3: military in all of them. Add least they could do 78 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 3: it and quickly. So that's one argument. It's kind of 79 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 3: hard to get around. 80 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,160 Speaker 1: I have a comment. Just let me know when you're 81 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 1: wanting to move on from this topic, but go ahead. 82 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 1: I wanted to get to the He talks about how. 83 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:52,479 Speaker 3: Lots of civilians have died and the completely chaotic food 84 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,839 Speaker 3: distribution and everything like that, and the impossible situation that 85 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 3: Israel is in and trying to get food to the 86 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:04,839 Speaker 3: gosens without Hama stealing it and strengthening them. And he 87 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 3: also points out that the fact that over a million 88 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:12,039 Speaker 3: German civilians died in World War Two, thousands of them 89 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 3: in bombings that we were doing, and dressden in other towns, 90 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 3: made them victims of the war, but not a genocide. 91 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 3: The aim of the Allies in the United States was 92 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 3: to defeat the Nazis for leading Germany into war, not 93 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 3: to wipe out the Germans simply for being German. Same 94 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 3: as what's going here. Quite a few Gozens or Palestinians 95 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,279 Speaker 3: or whatever you want to call them could die in 96 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 3: the attempt to wipe out Hamas, but the goal is 97 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 3: to wipe out Hamas, not the Gozens. 98 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,839 Speaker 1: So that actually fits really well with the point I 99 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:50,040 Speaker 1: was going to make. And I've been saying this for 100 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:53,920 Speaker 1: a while, and I have not come across anybody who 101 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 1: has refuted it via email or text or whatever or 102 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 1: in alternate media. I think what we are seeing is 103 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 1: something close to total victory for the first time, televised 104 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,839 Speaker 1: all over the world. Everybody's got a camera, everybody's televising 105 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:17,840 Speaker 1: what it looks like for one country to say that's it, 106 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:22,160 Speaker 1: We've got to completely defeat our enemy because they attack 107 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 1: us over and over again, and we're through with it, 108 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:30,640 Speaker 1: and it's ugly and it's heartbreaking. And from the Israeli perspective, 109 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 1: and I happen to agree with them, it's necessary. I mean, 110 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 1: for instance, you loosen up the food distribution thing, so 111 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 1: Hamas steals more of it, and your guys and the 112 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 1: American contractors are at much greater risk. You let people 113 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:48,039 Speaker 1: cluster around you, some of whom have weapons, you don't 114 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 1: fire into them, et cetera, et cetera. Then you strengthen 115 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,840 Speaker 1: your adversary. And Israel's attitude at this point is no 116 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,719 Speaker 1: Anything that strengthens somemas We're not gonna do, including getting 117 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,719 Speaker 1: our hostages back. That's what we're watching. 118 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 3: In my opinion, I keep mentioning that I'm reading this book, 119 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 3: Twilight of the Gods, which is about the last year 120 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:09,360 Speaker 3: of the war in the Pacific, the very end of 121 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,360 Speaker 3: World War Two, which we're celebrating the anniversary of right now. 122 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 3: I'm surprised it's not getting more attention the eightieth anniversary 123 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 3: of Ewojima, and you know, some of those great big 124 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 3: battles leading up to the dropping of the atomic bombs. 125 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 3: I have a feeling here. In about a week or 126 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 3: so on the actual eightieth anniversary of dropping the bomb, 127 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 3: there's going to be quite a bit of talk of 128 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 3: they were on their backs, we didn't need to do that, 129 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 3: et cetera, et cetera. So all that stuff is going 130 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 3: to come back up. But man, we were just obliterating 131 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 3: Japan at the weeks leading up to this, Like some 132 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 3: of the stats are just incredible. We dropped more bombs 133 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 3: on Japan, like in the day before the atomic bomb 134 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 3: than the entire previous part of the war. I mean, 135 00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 3: it just had ramped up so much toward the end 136 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 3: to try to get hit them to your point, to capitulate, 137 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 3: to completely submit, to surrender, same way that had to 138 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 3: happen with the Germans. And imagine if that had been 139 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,240 Speaker 3: televised and reported on and Twitter in the way that 140 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:14,760 Speaker 3: it would be now, or the way it is with 141 00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,160 Speaker 3: Israel trying to wipe out a moss. 142 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 1: It's hard to imagine. 143 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,000 Speaker 3: I mean, a lot of this stuff didn't get a 144 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 3: lot of these stories didn't get told for decades. You know, 145 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 3: best case scenario was a week later in the New 146 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:28,920 Speaker 3: York Times there'd be a paragraph, But some of this 147 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 3: stuff didn't get told for years of what. 148 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 1: I And there are some people who can't deal with that. 149 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,719 Speaker 1: They think, no, there's got to be another way that 150 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,800 Speaker 1: I can't be for that, We've got to give piece 151 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 1: a chance or whatever. And there are some of us 152 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 1: who are a bit more coldly practical who say that 153 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:51,160 Speaker 1: all of those things you just described ultimately saved many lives. 154 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 1: So it was horrible, horrible, horrifying, but necessary. 155 00:08:58,040 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 3: Back to this story because I have a feeling where 156 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:01,680 Speaker 3: you ty of chance to talk about the end of 157 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:03,480 Speaker 3: World War II here in a couple of weeks, because 158 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 3: that's guaranteed mainstream media is going to go big on 159 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 3: the whether we should have dropped the bomb or not. 160 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:12,679 Speaker 3: But Brett Stevens writes in The New York Times, what's 161 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 3: unusual about Gaza is the cynical and criminal way Hamas 162 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 3: has chosen to wage war in Ukraine. When Russia attacks 163 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:23,680 Speaker 3: with missiles, drones or artillery, the civilians go underground, while 164 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,800 Speaker 3: the Ukrainian military stays above ground to fight. In Gaza, 165 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 3: it's the reverse. Harmasque goes underground doesn't allow the civilians 166 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 3: to use their network of tunnels. 167 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:33,840 Speaker 1: They're not allowed in there. 168 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:38,440 Speaker 3: Ha Mosco's underground to leave the Gazins up above and 169 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 3: suffer the consequences of Israel trying to bomb out Hamas. 170 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:48,319 Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, they're despicable. It is quite amazing despicable. Islamis totalitarians. 171 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 1: Israel said, that's enough. We can't trust you ever again. 172 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 3: How do you prosecute a war in the modern world 173 00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 3: where everybody gets to see it up close? 174 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,640 Speaker 1: I guess we're watching that. You've almost got to have 175 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,160 Speaker 1: the desperation of the Israeli people, a lot of them, 176 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:12,400 Speaker 1: and somebody like net Yahoo, who depending on the app 177 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,440 Speaker 1: who you ask, is just a very, very practical man, 178 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 1: having been a Special Forces soldier himself, or a maniac, 179 00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,079 Speaker 1: or he's holding out of power to keep himself out 180 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,040 Speaker 1: of jail or whatever. You've got to have a leader 181 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 1: who is completely resolute. 182 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:31,400 Speaker 3: Back to the end of World War Two, there's been 183 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,960 Speaker 3: a lot of controversy for the last eighty years over 184 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:39,079 Speaker 3: whether or not FDR should have demanded unconditional surrender. The 185 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 3: part that I didn't know was it was a complete 186 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:43,480 Speaker 3: off the cuff. 187 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 1: None of his aides knew it was coming. 188 00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 3: It was a very trump asque and that everybody was 189 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:52,319 Speaker 3: scrambling because the press immediately was asking questions to you know, 190 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:56,439 Speaker 3: chief of staff, everybody, unconditional surrender? Would that come from? 191 00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:56,959 Speaker 3: What does that mean? 192 00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:57,839 Speaker 1: What about this? What about that? 193 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 3: And they're all, we'll get back to you on that, 194 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 3: because nobody knew he was going to say that. 195 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 1: Hmm, interesting, yeah, it really is. Then he croaked. 196 00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 3: Then he croaked, and I was just reading the part 197 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 3: last night where they have to sit down Harry Truman 198 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 3: and let him know. Interesting story. Here we see we're 199 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 3: working on this bomb or actually just about done. It's 200 00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:24,959 Speaker 3: been to New Mexico. It's beautiful anyway, got to be 201 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:26,640 Speaker 3: the biggest weapon in the history of the world. 202 00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 1: So he is completely in the dark on that. 203 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:34,199 Speaker 3: Yeah, he was completely in the dark on practically everything 204 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 3: about the war, not just that he was just not involved. 205 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,560 Speaker 1: I had to get up to speed really quick. He 206 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:45,960 Speaker 1: was the classic balancing VP choice for FDR, Midwestern guy 207 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,960 Speaker 1: down to Earth. He attracted the ex voter and the 208 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,160 Speaker 1: Y voter, but they had nothing to do with each other. 209 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,800 Speaker 3: He was not even close to the last person in 210 00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,080 Speaker 3: the room when big decisions are made. He had no 211 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 3: idea what was going on for the strategy of world 212 00:11:58,000 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 3: War two. Then all of a sudden, it drops in 213 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 3: your lap in the final weeks and you got to 214 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,439 Speaker 3: figure out do we drop a bomb? Do we invade 215 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:07,640 Speaker 3: with The plan was significantly bigger than. 216 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:11,360 Speaker 1: D Day invasion of France for invading Japan. 217 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:15,360 Speaker 3: Significantly, this is gonna be much much bigger and bloodier 218 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:17,840 Speaker 3: and bloodier. Anyway, we'll get chance to talk about that 219 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 3: in early August. I guarantee you stay here. 220 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:28,560 Speaker 4: Hey, hi, guys, I saw the Subway just hired an 221 00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 4: executive from Burger Kinge to be their new CEO. It 222 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:33,840 Speaker 4: could be a lot of changes coming to Subway, but 223 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:35,679 Speaker 4: they just put out a new ad to reassure their 224 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:36,679 Speaker 4: longtime customers. 225 00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,720 Speaker 5: Even though we're changing management, We've promised to keep all 226 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:43,160 Speaker 5: your favorite things about Subway, like five dollars foot longs 227 00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:43,679 Speaker 5: for eight. 228 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 1: Dollars workers who clearly hate your guts, cookies that were 229 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,360 Speaker 1: made either ten minutes or ten days ago. No in between, 230 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:51,760 Speaker 1: the writer lights than an operating room, a. 231 00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:54,000 Speaker 6: Massive Jarrett cover up on the same scale as. 232 00:12:53,880 --> 00:13:02,720 Speaker 1: The Epstein cover and Tuna Subway. Yeah, who was that 233 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:03,440 Speaker 1: shot at Tuna? 234 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 3: I'm not having that lights as bright as an operating room. 235 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 3: That is true, Subway is an incredibly bright restaurant. 236 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:12,720 Speaker 1: I'm not exactly sure now. 237 00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:16,400 Speaker 3: My local subway. The person does seem to hate the customers. 238 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 1: True. 239 00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 3: My experience with the cookies are always fresh and delicious. 240 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:24,680 Speaker 3: Their cookies are damn good. They brought this hate on themselves, though. 241 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:26,959 Speaker 3: Don't claim you have a foot long sandwich and it 242 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:28,200 Speaker 3: turns out to be eleven inches. 243 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:34,200 Speaker 1: All right, all right, Speaking of the world to work, 244 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,840 Speaker 1: a couple of more stories. First of all, Judy and 245 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 1: I having a remodel done. I've enjoyed watching the process 246 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:43,600 Speaker 1: take place. Sometimes the work crewis are there, sometimes they're not. 247 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:45,840 Speaker 1: Sometimes the weather turns and they go home. At one 248 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,880 Speaker 1: point yesterday I texted her the carpenters are back, but 249 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:52,760 Speaker 1: they're not carpenting yet. And I found myself wondering, because 250 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:54,840 Speaker 1: I like words. Where the hell did the term carpenter 251 00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 1: come from. It originates from the Late Latin word carpenterius, 252 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 1: meaning wagon maker or carriage maker. Term itself is derived 253 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 1: from carpentum, referring to a two wheeled carriage, and has 254 00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:11,120 Speaker 1: been adopted from the French form of that word. 255 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:15,200 Speaker 3: I guess sharpened tear, so you're getting a bowling Lane 256 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:20,960 Speaker 3: put in that's cool, it's correct, and an archery gallery. 257 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,560 Speaker 3: My twin loves archery and bowling. I love them. Actually, 258 00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:27,640 Speaker 3: I do enjoy both of them. But anyway, Plumber's plumb right. 259 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 1: Electricians deal with electricity, but Carpenter's deal with some far 260 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 1: Latin word. Why don't we have our own word? A 261 00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:39,120 Speaker 1: good American work. I can see why you're upset. Another 262 00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:42,520 Speaker 1: note from the world of work. The w NBA All 263 00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:47,360 Speaker 1: Stars already fairly commented upon. They're showing up for their game. 264 00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 1: Nobody watched, wearing the pay us what You Owe us shirts, 265 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:55,040 Speaker 1: a demand for higher salaries and profit sharing among the players. 266 00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:58,960 Speaker 1: And I'm quoting Jeff Blair of the National Review here. 267 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:02,600 Speaker 1: From time to time, he says, then they played a game. 268 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:05,120 Speaker 1: Excuse me that nobody watched? Who won? I did? I 269 00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:07,400 Speaker 1: was reading a book at the time, he says. The 270 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:12,080 Speaker 1: reaction on social media was instantaneous and brutal. However, who 271 00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:15,520 Speaker 1: exactly what exactly is owed to whom? By whom tens 272 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 1: of thousands of online accounts asked significantly ye simultaneously. My 273 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,440 Speaker 1: first reaction was that if woh now Le's skip that 274 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,400 Speaker 1: part the Babylon b had the best headline, as they 275 00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:29,800 Speaker 1: often do. Uh oh. WNBA players demand to be paid 276 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,240 Speaker 1: what they're worth, and now they owe the NBA four 277 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:33,560 Speaker 1: hundred million dollars. 278 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:37,160 Speaker 3: Ooh good one, that's pretty good. And then he gets 279 00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:40,200 Speaker 3: into whether it's actually a woke social justice. 280 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:44,200 Speaker 1: Thing or it's just a h hum labor dispute. They're 281 00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:46,680 Speaker 1: trying to get a better deal, which is fine, trying 282 00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:50,240 Speaker 1: to get the fans on their side. Yeah, I suppose. 283 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:51,400 Speaker 1: I don't know. 284 00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:56,680 Speaker 3: I know people that I would describe as above average intelligence. 285 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,480 Speaker 3: I think it's unfair that they're getting paid less than 286 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:02,520 Speaker 3: NBA players. 287 00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:06,360 Speaker 1: They are intelligent, but they are fools. They have no judgment. 288 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:10,720 Speaker 1: Back in twenty twenty, the WNBA players union negotiated a 289 00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:14,760 Speaker 1: revenue sharing agreement guaranteeing them nine point nine percent of 290 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:20,080 Speaker 1: league revenues. Meanwhile, NBA players currently get a fifty percent 291 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:24,480 Speaker 1: share of all basketball related income distributed to them. And 292 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:29,120 Speaker 1: that's blah blah blah. That's what gets to why their 293 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:33,360 Speaker 1: complaints rings so hollow. The NBA essentially pays for the WNBA, 294 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,320 Speaker 1: which has lost money every single year of its existence. 295 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:42,960 Speaker 1: And he goes into elaborates on that. During the last 296 00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:47,920 Speaker 1: very profitable season. The NBA generated eleven point three billion 297 00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 1: dollars in revenue, the WNBA somewhere around one hundred to 298 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:59,120 Speaker 1: two hundred million, a teeny tiny fraction is Television ratings 299 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:02,120 Speaker 1: are similarly a school compared with the NBA's except for 300 00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:05,720 Speaker 1: occasionally a Caitlin Clark came right, So good luck with 301 00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 1: your labor dispute. 302 00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:10,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, and then the fact that they don't embrace the 303 00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:13,040 Speaker 3: one person that has risen them to the level of 304 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:18,480 Speaker 3: even discussing it. Risen having helped them, wrote Rosen. 305 00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:22,439 Speaker 1: We more on the ways to hear Armstrong and Getty. 306 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,679 Speaker 1: Whether it's right or wrong, It's time to go after people. 307 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 1: Obama's been caught directly. Okay, So. 308 00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:40,359 Speaker 3: I hadn't been paying close attention to this story until today. 309 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:47,359 Speaker 3: Trump making some pretty uh should be headline grabbing claims. 310 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:51,240 Speaker 3: But as David Mure on ABC News last night, led, 311 00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:53,120 Speaker 3: do you have that clip still, Michael. 312 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:55,360 Speaker 5: Tonight, we have breaking news as we come on VI air, 313 00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:57,000 Speaker 5: Ozzy Osbourne has died. 314 00:17:57,359 --> 00:17:57,600 Speaker 1: Yeah. 315 00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:01,720 Speaker 3: Never mind that the sitting pre just said that two 316 00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:07,280 Speaker 3: presidents ago committed treason in lying about intelligence to try 317 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:09,679 Speaker 3: to ruin his presidency, which seems like a pretty big story. 318 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:11,399 Speaker 1: But that probably ought to go to jail. 319 00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:16,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, And sennyj Van jail Nope on the oddsboard died, 320 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:19,480 Speaker 3: So we covered that up anyway. Here's here's the Fox 321 00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:23,520 Speaker 3: version of the story. And Obama responded to Trump's claims. 322 00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:27,520 Speaker 5: President Donald Trump in the Oval office suggesting his predecessor, 323 00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:30,480 Speaker 5: Barack Obama should face criminal charges. 324 00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:36,280 Speaker 1: He's guilty. They this was treason. This was every word 325 00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:39,160 Speaker 1: you can think of. They tried to steal the election. 326 00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,879 Speaker 5: Trump's comments come after the Director of National Intelligence Tulsey 327 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:46,679 Speaker 5: Gabbard asked the Justice Department to look into allegations that 328 00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:51,240 Speaker 5: members of the Obama administration quote altered intelligence to push 329 00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:54,359 Speaker 5: the narrative of a Trump Russia plot days before Trump 330 00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 5: took office in twenty seventeen, despite prior intelligence reportedly indicating otherwise. 331 00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:03,679 Speaker 3: So Matt Tybee, who had been quoting a lot lately. 332 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:05,639 Speaker 3: He's a journalist we both like. And one of the 333 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:09,720 Speaker 3: reasons I really believe him on this stuff is he 334 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 3: can't stand Trump. 335 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:13,479 Speaker 1: He hates Donald Trump. 336 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,679 Speaker 3: He's written books about how awful he thinks Donald Trump is, 337 00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:19,359 Speaker 3: but he hates lying in government. 338 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:24,720 Speaker 1: Even more than that. He and the journalists who kissed 339 00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:26,000 Speaker 1: the ass of power. 340 00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:29,840 Speaker 3: And particularly has been very skeptical, skeptical of our intelligence 341 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:33,199 Speaker 3: agent intelligence agencies and some of the things that they've done. 342 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 1: So Tolci Gabbert, who you know, the. 343 00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,800 Speaker 3: Messenger on this doesn't help because Telsey Gabbert to me 344 00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:40,960 Speaker 3: is a bit of a whack job. But that doesn't 345 00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,800 Speaker 3: mean everything that she does is not true. She released 346 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:48,520 Speaker 3: these documents. The documents newly declassified by her as the 347 00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:54,879 Speaker 3: D and I show that the intelligence community assessment Muller, 348 00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:57,560 Speaker 3: who was running the FBI at the time, and Senate 349 00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:05,480 Speaker 3: reports all exclude voted the intelligence community's own secretly identified 350 00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:11,639 Speaker 3: doubts about the allegation. The allegation being that Russia Putin 351 00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:18,080 Speaker 3: specifically ordered the hack of the Democrat emails, remember Hillary's emails, 352 00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:21,960 Speaker 3: that whole thing. Putin was behind that, and it was 353 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:26,000 Speaker 3: an effort by the Russians to get Donald Trump elected. Well, 354 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:30,720 Speaker 3: according to previously unpublished intelligence and this is just out, 355 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:36,560 Speaker 3: the FBI and the NSA expressed low confidence that Russia 356 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,800 Speaker 3: was behind the hack and release of the Democratic Party emails, 357 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 3: and as has pointed out here, the joint FBI NSA 358 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:47,760 Speaker 3: descent is especially significant giving their role in this. The 359 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:51,000 Speaker 3: NSA is the agency best position to assess this sort 360 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:51,280 Speaker 3: of thing. 361 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:53,280 Speaker 1: They're the best in the world of this sort of thing. 362 00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:58,760 Speaker 3: And the FBI would be the group that would lead 363 00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,879 Speaker 3: a probe the cyber theft and all that sort of stuff, 364 00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:06,440 Speaker 3: and they didn't because they had such low confidence that 365 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 3: Russia was behind the hack. 366 00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:09,960 Speaker 1: This is all new. 367 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:13,840 Speaker 3: So then why if the NSA and the FBI both thought, 368 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:17,240 Speaker 3: we don't have any evidence that Putin and the Russians 369 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:23,159 Speaker 3: were the ones that hacked Hillary's emails? Why then, in 370 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:28,480 Speaker 3: October of twenty sixteen, right before the election, did the 371 00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:33,159 Speaker 3: Department of Homeland Security put out a statement claiming that 372 00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:37,399 Speaker 3: US intelligence community is confident that Russia hacked the Democratic 373 00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:39,959 Speaker 3: Party in order to interfere with the US election and 374 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:41,320 Speaker 3: help get Trump elected. 375 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:47,320 Speaker 1: Why did that happen? According to Jessaman, one member of 376 00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:49,800 Speaker 1: the working group who I mentioned yesterday, said, we have 377 00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:53,879 Speaker 1: no intelligence to directly support the idea that they wanted 378 00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:57,640 Speaker 1: Trump to win. None in Komy and Clapper essentially said 379 00:21:57,640 --> 00:21:59,240 Speaker 1: shut up. This has been and. 380 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:03,000 Speaker 3: Reported as now for how many years? Is that nine years? 381 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:08,080 Speaker 3: And I was watching MSNBC last night. They THEYD statis fact. 382 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:11,800 Speaker 3: We all know that Russia was hoping to get Donald 383 00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:15,600 Speaker 3: Trump elected, that they hacked Tillery's emails. No, we don't 384 00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:18,399 Speaker 3: know that. At least the FBI in the NSA didn't 385 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:20,440 Speaker 3: know that. I don't know where you're getting your information, 386 00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:23,119 Speaker 3: but those are the two best organizations to try to 387 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:27,239 Speaker 3: figure that out, and their confidence was low. Notably, the 388 00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:31,080 Speaker 3: FBI objected to formally accusing Russia and refused to participate. 389 00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:34,160 Speaker 3: By that point, the joint statement had a more powerful 390 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:37,960 Speaker 3: endorser that According to testimony from Jay Johnson, who was 391 00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:41,800 Speaker 3: the DHS secretary at the time, President Obama approved the 392 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:44,600 Speaker 3: statement and wanted us to make it. That is his 393 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:49,920 Speaker 3: testimony on that statement that came out October of twenty sixteen, 394 00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:53,880 Speaker 3: that Obama was behind it for whatever his reasons were, 395 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:58,280 Speaker 3: and I think we can probably guess. And then on December, 396 00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:01,080 Speaker 3: after Trump had had been already been a lot, Obama 397 00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:04,000 Speaker 3: made another request asking the intelligence community to produce a 398 00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:07,720 Speaker 3: new version of the Intelligence Community assessment that could be 399 00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:08,400 Speaker 3: made public. 400 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:13,960 Speaker 1: The FBI and the how wow, wow, that's that's worth saying. 401 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:15,679 Speaker 1: He said, look, we got to come up with a 402 00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:18,360 Speaker 1: version of this we can put out. Yeah, because there's 403 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:20,320 Speaker 1: too much classified stuff in here. But I got to 404 00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 1: get this to the New York Times. I still my 405 00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:23,679 Speaker 1: assessment is this. 406 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:26,720 Speaker 3: I have very low confidence this will go anywhere and 407 00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:28,800 Speaker 3: anything will come of it, just because of the way 408 00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:31,600 Speaker 3: the world works. But I will for the rest of 409 00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:37,200 Speaker 3: my life believe that this was an absolute railroad job, 410 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:40,480 Speaker 3: even more than I had thought before. I assumed that 411 00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:44,320 Speaker 3: Russia probably did hack Hillery emails because they're you know, 412 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:46,399 Speaker 3: they're always they're messing it on stuff all the time. 413 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 3: And I always assumed the trying to help Trump thing 414 00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:52,840 Speaker 3: was just the Hillary had a ninety five percent chance 415 00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:55,080 Speaker 3: of winning according to the New York Times. I mean, 416 00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:58,159 Speaker 3: they were just trying to muck up our elections. It 417 00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:00,400 Speaker 3: wasn't particularly that they thought Trump was going. 418 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:01,360 Speaker 1: To help them in anyway. 419 00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:03,800 Speaker 3: They were just trying to mess with our elections and 420 00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:05,399 Speaker 3: make it harder on the person that was going to 421 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:07,840 Speaker 3: come in as president. But the fact that the NSCA 422 00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:11,280 Speaker 3: and the FBI thought, I don't know who hacked those emails. 423 00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:13,399 Speaker 1: We certainly don't know it was the Russians. We have 424 00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:18,840 Speaker 1: no reason to know that. Wow. Wow, Yeah, so much 425 00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:21,919 Speaker 1: dirty pool, so much lying, so much cover up. But 426 00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:24,360 Speaker 1: you know, you say it's not going to go anywhere 427 00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:26,359 Speaker 1: because of the way the world works, and I know 428 00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:28,280 Speaker 1: what you mean by that. I just also think there's 429 00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:32,399 Speaker 1: too much plausible deniability. I mean, like the paper trail 430 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:37,639 Speaker 1: around the Brennan decision, when he had a number of 431 00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:40,520 Speaker 1: top people saying, look, we have no evidence of this, 432 00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:44,840 Speaker 1: we cannot assert this. This is a complete violation of 433 00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:49,280 Speaker 1: our standards. And he had a lengthy meeting in which 434 00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:53,320 Speaker 1: they articulated their serious concerns and quote, the assessment will 435 00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:55,960 Speaker 1: stay the same, he reported. At the end of the meeting, 436 00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,440 Speaker 1: Brennan could get up there and say, you know, then 437 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,480 Speaker 1: the guys for a living, so he'd say under oath, yeah, 438 00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:04,399 Speaker 1: I was at that meeting, and yeah, five of the 439 00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:06,600 Speaker 1: six guys said there's no evidence for it. But that 440 00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:09,680 Speaker 1: sixth guy, man was he eloquent and he convinced me completely. 441 00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:12,600 Speaker 1: He made some excellent points that nobody else had, and Yep, 442 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,320 Speaker 1: he convinced me that it was the Russians. So what 443 00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:16,200 Speaker 1: do you got now. 444 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:22,440 Speaker 3: The FBI objected to formally accusing Russia and refused to participate, 445 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:27,800 Speaker 3: but the joint statement came out anyway from Jay Johnson, 446 00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:30,800 Speaker 3: who testified under oath that Obama approved the statement and 447 00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:36,280 Speaker 3: wanted us to make it that Russian Putin were behind 448 00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:39,040 Speaker 3: the hack. Where did that come from? That's that's made 449 00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:41,040 Speaker 3: up on a whole cloth, or like you said, maybe 450 00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:43,520 Speaker 3: there's one person that did believe it for whatever reason. 451 00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:49,360 Speaker 1: And then at what point did Obama, Brennan, Slade, Hillary 452 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:53,359 Speaker 1: get the FBI to go along with it? The infamous 453 00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:56,800 Speaker 1: you know, call me leaking that steal dossier, which is 454 00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 1: just just unforgivable. 455 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:04,040 Speaker 3: That whole thing is so awful, and there's gonna be 456 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:10,360 Speaker 3: a reverse version of that at some point where the 457 00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:17,240 Speaker 3: intelligence agencies screw a democrat or a Yeah, that goes 458 00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:21,119 Speaker 3: the other way. And don't you worry about that as 459 00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:24,000 Speaker 3: a lefty that you don't want. You don't want these 460 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:25,840 Speaker 3: intelligence agencies playing these. 461 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:29,480 Speaker 1: Games, no, because so many of them don't have principles. 462 00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:34,280 Speaker 1: They just want power, especially inside the Beltway, they pretend 463 00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:37,399 Speaker 1: to have principles. To quote for the empteenth time, that 464 00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:42,080 Speaker 1: great few lines in Mark Leibovich's book This Town, we're 465 00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:45,359 Speaker 1: both in on the joke. What's the joke? They didn't 466 00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:47,120 Speaker 1: want to tell them, They finally told them. The joke 467 00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:51,000 Speaker 1: is that we're patriots. Now they just want power because 468 00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,160 Speaker 1: then they have access to the treasury. So yeah, they'll 469 00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:56,360 Speaker 1: do about anything to get it. And if this happens 470 00:26:56,480 --> 00:27:00,040 Speaker 1: next week, the scenario you described where the sh he 471 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:02,680 Speaker 1: was on the other foot, you will see every big 472 00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:07,439 Speaker 1: foot media member you can name shouting about how the 473 00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:10,560 Speaker 1: Intelligence Committee needs to be or community needs to be 474 00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:13,040 Speaker 1: brought to heal and the spooks need to have some 475 00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:17,200 Speaker 1: serious regulation on him and this is an absolutely awful 476 00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:20,560 Speaker 1: dereliction of duty, an abuse of power, and blah blah blah. 477 00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:22,639 Speaker 1: Now they can't be bothered. Eh. 478 00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,879 Speaker 3: So the headline on that article that Matt Tayebee retweeted, 479 00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:28,440 Speaker 3: and again he's no Trump fan by any means whatsoever. 480 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:35,480 Speaker 3: He's a guy who's, as everyone should be, highly scared 481 00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:38,479 Speaker 3: of these big intelligence agencies and their ability to like 482 00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:39,919 Speaker 3: manipulate the world. 483 00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:42,880 Speaker 1: Right, But anyway, the headline was. 484 00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:48,199 Speaker 3: US Intel concealed high level doubts about Russian interference. The 485 00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:54,320 Speaker 3: whole narrative of Russian interference doesn't exist. Again, as recently 486 00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:56,360 Speaker 3: as last night I was watching all the news channels 487 00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:01,119 Speaker 3: reported is well, this one thing we do know, Russia 488 00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:03,719 Speaker 3: hacked Tillery's emails and wanted Trump to be elected. We 489 00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:06,080 Speaker 3: know that, so let's start there. No, we don't know that. 490 00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:06,959 Speaker 3: We never knew that. 491 00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:08,399 Speaker 1: Now. 492 00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:14,000 Speaker 3: How many people in America will ever hear this? Five percent? 493 00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:19,199 Speaker 1: Too few? Yeah, Yeah, it's disappointing. Democracy doesn't work. Oh, 494 00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:20,959 Speaker 1: speaking of which, I should have asked for this audio. 495 00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:26,800 Speaker 1: The Secretary of Energy, whose name is of course in Schmidkevich. 496 00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:28,879 Speaker 1: I can never remember his name. I'm the Secretary of 497 00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:31,119 Speaker 1: lack of Energy today for some reason. Wow wow, I 498 00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:33,720 Speaker 1: sorry to hear that. But whatever his name is, I 499 00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:36,240 Speaker 1: really like the cut of his Jim. He's a smart guy, 500 00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:39,520 Speaker 1: an entrepreneur. He joked with Brett Bear last night on 501 00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:42,480 Speaker 1: Special Report that he hasn't had a boss since he 502 00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:46,000 Speaker 1: was nineteen, but he's really enjoying Trump as a boss 503 00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:50,560 Speaker 1: because Trump is so into energy, developing more sources of energy, more, 504 00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:53,360 Speaker 1: a greater quantity of energy, cheaper energy, blah blah blah, 505 00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:55,240 Speaker 1: and so it's been really really fun for him. But 506 00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:59,720 Speaker 1: he mentioned, in kind of a lesser emphasized part of 507 00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:04,360 Speaker 1: the interview that their cybersecurity programs are a super high 508 00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:09,200 Speaker 1: priority because China. We know China is inside our systems, 509 00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:12,440 Speaker 1: our energy systems. Right now, they are poised to do 510 00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:14,880 Speaker 1: us damage and take our systems off grid, you know, 511 00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:18,360 Speaker 1: just screw with us any way they can. Don't trust China, 512 00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:21,240 Speaker 1: that's right, sir. I don't, but I thought that was 513 00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:24,520 Speaker 1: something secretary Energy saying, Oh yeah, they're inside our systems 514 00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:27,360 Speaker 1: already and we're trying to figure out how and looking 515 00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:29,840 Speaker 1: for them and everything. But man, if the Chinese ever 516 00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:32,480 Speaker 1: decided to pull that trigger, it's going to be crazy days. 517 00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:36,920 Speaker 1: That's frightening. Your power goes out, your cell phone goes out, 518 00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:41,200 Speaker 1: traffic lights go out, the local hospitals is running on 519 00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:42,800 Speaker 1: emergency power. Oof. 520 00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:47,080 Speaker 3: One more note on the story where we're talking about 521 00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:51,240 Speaker 3: about the whole Russian hoax thingy. This I just came across. 522 00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:54,960 Speaker 3: Even after John Brennan was told by career intel experts 523 00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:58,360 Speaker 3: that the Steel dossier was garbage, Brennan ignored them and 524 00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:02,440 Speaker 3: forced its inclusion into the Intelligent Community Assessment, the one 525 00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:07,360 Speaker 3: that Obama put out. And this testimony is claimed to 526 00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:10,880 Speaker 3: be true. Yes, but doesn't it ring true? Brennan reportedly 527 00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:13,960 Speaker 3: responded after being told the Steele dossier failed to meet 528 00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:19,840 Speaker 3: the basic requirements for being in this report. Yes, but 529 00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,760 Speaker 3: does this range your job doesn't it sound like the 530 00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:25,120 Speaker 3: sort of thing that Trump would do, so they put 531 00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:25,600 Speaker 3: it in there. 532 00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:29,720 Speaker 1: No, the intelligence agencies joined in on the oppo research 533 00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:33,840 Speaker 1: and character assassination that is, you know, characteristic big time politics. 534 00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:36,840 Speaker 1: As sure as hell shouldn't but that's exactly what happened. 535 00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:38,920 Speaker 3: And they sleep well at night by feeling like they 536 00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:40,720 Speaker 3: were patriots because Trump was the new Hitler. 537 00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:41,720 Speaker 1: So we were doing the right thing. 538 00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:45,280 Speaker 3: We're standing up for America, right, ah right, we'll see 539 00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:46,440 Speaker 3: if we ever get to the bottom this. 540 00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:48,080 Speaker 1: More on the way. We do not have time for 541 00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:49,000 Speaker 1: this kind of sillings. 542 00:30:56,520 --> 00:31:01,440 Speaker 7: Here are some other headlines tonight.

If the 602 00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:20,839 Speaker 1: temperature is below a very precise point, they figured it out, 603 00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:24,680 Speaker 1: the turtles will be females, and if it's above temp 604 00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:27,319 Speaker 1: they will be males, or vice versa. I can't remember which, 605 00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:30,600 Speaker 1: but it's thought provoking, in very very odd. 606 00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:34,239 Speaker 3: Does that work that way for people?
