WEBVTT - That's Freakin' Weak Tea, Man! 0:00:01.960 --> 0:00:06.280 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George 0:00:06.320 --> 0:00:10.400 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. 0:00:10.320 --> 0:00:18.239 Arm Strong and Jettie and he Armstrong and Getty. 0:00:24.040 --> 0:00:27.120 Just days before the two year anniversary of the October 0:00:27.160 --> 0:00:32.520 seventh attacks, potential breakthrough one President Trump's twenty point peace proposal, 0:00:33.000 --> 0:00:36.560 Hama's agreeing to release all of the hostages, and Israel 0:00:36.680 --> 0:00:40.120 vowing to halt bombing in Gaza, but with key details 0:00:40.120 --> 0:00:43.640 still lingering, can the nearly two year war come to 0:00:43.680 --> 0:00:44.080 an end? 0:00:44.240 --> 0:00:46.559 So I was Meet the Press yesterday in which Andrew 0:00:46.680 --> 0:00:49.120 Mitchell Trump Peyton Andry Mitchell went on to say this. 0:00:49.200 --> 0:00:51.520 For the first time, we're seeing President Trump really putting 0:00:51.560 --> 0:00:54.240 pressure in at Genyahu to stop the bombing. When he 0:00:54.280 --> 0:00:57.640 said that, it was very significant. So this could be transformational. 0:00:57.840 --> 0:01:00.360 And you know, if this were to work out, and 0:01:00.880 --> 0:01:03.080 you know it was, it would be the Abraham Accords, 0:01:03.080 --> 0:01:06.319 it would be recognition of Israel, transform the whole region, 0:01:06.959 --> 0:01:11.160 and President Trump would deserve that Nobel Prize. 0:01:11.480 --> 0:01:15.640 The media coverage for mainstream media was more positive on 0:01:15.720 --> 0:01:19.520 this thing than boy, anything I've heard about a Trump 0:01:19.560 --> 0:01:20.759 idea in a very long time. 0:01:21.360 --> 0:01:23.080 Yeah, I would agree. I would agree. 0:01:23.120 --> 0:01:26.600 The other interesting, you know, aspect of the media coverage 0:01:26.680 --> 0:01:29.720 I think is that more people are embracing the idea 0:01:29.800 --> 0:01:35.840 that nothing was happening diplomatically. It was all fake until 0:01:35.920 --> 0:01:38.120 the missiles landed in Cutter, Oh. 0:01:38.200 --> 0:01:40.440 Then all of a sudden, the Arab world was like, yeah, 0:01:40.480 --> 0:01:42.680 maybe we could actually do something about this, and in 0:01:42.720 --> 0:01:45.920 fact we probably should. One really stupid thing, Andrew Mitchell said, 0:01:45.959 --> 0:01:48.840 She said, bib Met Netanya, who the big mistake he made, 0:01:50.280 --> 0:01:54.600 an unforced air of huge proportions was that strike in Qatar, 0:01:55.080 --> 0:01:58.360 which united all the Arab countries. And I thought, yeah, 0:01:58.520 --> 0:02:02.240 united all the Arab countries around what Israel wants to do? 0:02:02.480 --> 0:02:04.680 What are you freaking talking about, old lady. 0:02:04.920 --> 0:02:08.400 Andrea, You are one hundred and eighty degrees off of 0:02:08.480 --> 0:02:13.519 the truth. Congratulations, that's difficult to achieve being perfectly wrong, 0:02:13.720 --> 0:02:14.800 completely wrong. 0:02:14.880 --> 0:02:18.880 Yes, that is clearly the best thing he did in 0:02:19.000 --> 0:02:21.959 terms of galvanizing the Arab countries, like we said last week, 0:02:22.000 --> 0:02:26.800 into thinking, Okay, we can't have this happening, so let's 0:02:27.000 --> 0:02:28.680 get on board with putting an end to this thing. 0:02:28.760 --> 0:02:29.200 Somehow. 0:02:29.760 --> 0:02:32.680 They point out that Cutter was furious and demanded Israel 0:02:32.720 --> 0:02:35.880 set things right, blah blah blah. But then a kabala 0:02:35.919 --> 0:02:38.040 reporters in the Wall Street Journal points out, and Trump 0:02:38.160 --> 0:02:40.680 just decided to try to turn the crisis. 0:02:40.360 --> 0:02:41.160 To his advantage. 0:02:41.240 --> 0:02:44.080 The attack was a sobering reminder to Arab countries of 0:02:44.120 --> 0:02:47.880 the risk of regional escalation, focusing their minds on peace. 0:02:48.720 --> 0:02:53.120 Right, That's a fancy way to put it. As always 0:02:53.120 --> 0:02:54.919 with anything in the Middle East. I mean, if you're old, 0:02:55.000 --> 0:02:57.959 you've heard this sort of thing many, many, menu many times. 0:02:58.639 --> 0:03:03.000 These things rarely work out. But this has got more 0:03:03.000 --> 0:03:05.760 support from more different political quarters than anything I can 0:03:05.840 --> 0:03:08.960 remember again when NPR and Fox both think it's a 0:03:08.960 --> 0:03:11.160 good idea, that's wild and. 0:03:11.840 --> 0:03:13.239 What pundit was I talking about. 0:03:13.400 --> 0:03:18.880 Trump is the most popular politician in Israel of anybody 0:03:18.880 --> 0:03:22.240 in the world. Nobody pulls higher than Donald Trump in Israel, 0:03:22.880 --> 0:03:25.760 and he has all these Arab leaders who like him 0:03:25.760 --> 0:03:27.799 more than any president we've had in forever. 0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:30.239 How do you pull that trick off? Yeah? 0:03:30.280 --> 0:03:32.040 Were the Arab leaders like you and you're the most 0:03:32.080 --> 0:03:34.720 popular person in Israel. But anyway, this is what Mark 0:03:34.760 --> 0:03:38.400 Alpernrode wrote today. This is how it's how to uh 0:03:39.040 --> 0:03:42.520 look at the next week a deal which will lead 0:03:42.560 --> 0:03:46.839 to implement implementation challenges. Then it's going to be how 0:03:46.920 --> 0:03:50.600 BB reacts after Hamas breaks the deal, Then how Trump 0:03:50.640 --> 0:03:53.800 reacts when BB reacts after Hamas breaks the deal, Then 0:03:53.880 --> 0:03:57.160 how BB reacts to Trump's reaction when BB reacts after 0:03:57.200 --> 0:04:00.000 Hamas breaks the deal. That's probably quite accurate about how 0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:00.760 it's going to play. 0:04:00.600 --> 0:04:03.160 Out, right, which is kind of what I was driving 0:04:03.160 --> 0:04:06.440 at last week. Even if they arrive at a deal. 0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:09.080 Oh and now's an apropos time to point out I 0:04:09.080 --> 0:04:11.000 tweeted this. It's a quote from I think it was 0:04:11.040 --> 0:04:13.560 in the New York Times or journal, doesn't matter. The 0:04:13.640 --> 0:04:16.160 quote was, while Israel and Hamas have each said they 0:04:16.200 --> 0:04:19.800 accept the hostage release deal, both hinted at significant points 0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:23.400 of disagreement, and as I said, in every other context 0:04:23.400 --> 0:04:25.799 in the world, that means we don't have a deal. 0:04:27.200 --> 0:04:30.200 My goodness, can we stop pretending we have a deal? 0:04:30.240 --> 0:04:34.240 We just have significant points of disagreement on key. 0:04:34.040 --> 0:04:35.000 Aspects of the deal. 0:04:35.360 --> 0:04:38.280 But yes, we have a deal, right, And then to 0:04:38.360 --> 0:04:40.720 the if the deal ever does happen, to get back 0:04:40.760 --> 0:04:43.440 to the original thread, yeah, Hamas is going to start 0:04:43.560 --> 0:04:47.760 violating it the moment they can, so well, that's that 0:04:47.800 --> 0:04:52.120 comes with the territory though that Yeah, of course, they 0:04:52.240 --> 0:04:55.240 they're they're they're whatever they are. But if this deal 0:04:55.279 --> 0:04:56.760 gets put in place, they're going to be in a 0:04:56.839 --> 0:05:01.080 really rough position to try to really get their thing 0:05:01.120 --> 0:05:01.640 going again. 0:05:03.000 --> 0:05:05.840 Yeah, yeah, I like this couple of sentences. 0:05:06.760 --> 0:05:10.120 Uh, but the deal doesn't happen and it falls apart, 0:05:10.600 --> 0:05:15.200 Israel is going to, with Trump's backing, absolutely lay waste 0:05:15.320 --> 0:05:15.840 to Gaza. 0:05:16.400 --> 0:05:16.799 Correct. 0:05:17.240 --> 0:05:21.799 Yeah, yeah, they mentioned that Hamas bristles it fully disarming, 0:05:21.880 --> 0:05:25.839 wants better guarantees Israel withdraw. Arab governments are concerned that 0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:28.200 the deal is so tough on Hamas and so weak 0:05:28.200 --> 0:05:30.400 on a path to a Palestinian state. There's not gonna 0:05:30.400 --> 0:05:32.360 be one that they can't sell it to their citizens. 0:05:32.600 --> 0:05:34.640 The result is a risky game of chicken, where no 0:05:34.720 --> 0:05:37.520 one wants to publicly shoot down a plan that privately 0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:39.960 many don't think they can accept in full. Trump is 0:05:40.000 --> 0:05:43.640 steaming ahead, calling everyone's bluff by accepting their statements of 0:05:43.640 --> 0:05:45.720 support without acknowledging their reservations. 0:05:45.839 --> 0:05:48.320 Oh that's an interesting way to go about it. 0:05:48.880 --> 0:05:51.159 You got old Jared Kushner head into Egypt, though in 0:05:51.160 --> 0:05:55.480 fact he's probably there already with Witkoff showing real seriousness. 0:05:56.760 --> 0:06:01.279 Yeah, this is gonna be something to watch. Yeah. Yeah. 0:06:01.320 --> 0:06:06.160 Marco Rubio is on all the shows yesterday being pressed 0:06:06.279 --> 0:06:10.240 very hard, and he kept bringing it back to well, 0:06:10.240 --> 0:06:12.680 look at Hamas if they don't you know, if they're 0:06:12.680 --> 0:06:15.400 not trustworthy. We know what Hamas is. What are we 0:06:15.440 --> 0:06:18.560 supposed to do dealing with a viper? 0:06:19.480 --> 0:06:19.680 Right? 0:06:20.320 --> 0:06:21.279 Right? I would agree? 0:06:21.440 --> 0:06:24.440 Oh and a final note from me anyway, the speaking 0:06:24.480 --> 0:06:27.159 of the Journal, they had a really interesting piece where 0:06:27.160 --> 0:06:30.240 they were trying to figure out what public sentiment was 0:06:30.360 --> 0:06:35.520 in Gaza and there are no reliable public opinion surveys 0:06:35.520 --> 0:06:39.320 in Gaza, and people are afraid of Hamas. But they 0:06:39.320 --> 0:06:40.880 were able to reach out to I think it was 0:06:41.600 --> 0:06:45.160 half a dozen different people, and the interesting part was 0:06:45.200 --> 0:06:50.400 they were absolutely unanimous Hamas should accept the US Broker 0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:54.839 deal despite what they see as the shortcomings. Different people 0:06:54.839 --> 0:06:59.040 with different life circumstances and you know, different places in society, 0:06:59.360 --> 0:07:04.240 but they all said stop the killing. And I don't 0:07:04.279 --> 0:07:07.040 think Hamas cares about our suffering. I'm very upset by 0:07:07.040 --> 0:07:10.840 their statements. We've had enough of Hamas. Please end the 0:07:10.840 --> 0:07:14.640 fighting for me, anything that ends the war is good, 0:07:14.680 --> 0:07:17.160 said a mother of a day's old premature baby. I 0:07:17.160 --> 0:07:19.720 don't care about Hamas's weapons. It's leaders they're fate or 0:07:19.720 --> 0:07:22.240 their prisoners. My husband, my son and I we are 0:07:22.280 --> 0:07:23.560 the ones paying the price. 0:07:23.840 --> 0:07:27.920 Stop it the people with guns win. 0:07:28.880 --> 0:07:30.560 Did you want to get that one other clip on 0:07:30.640 --> 0:07:31.960 before we move on to something else. 0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:37.160 Uh, yeah, we certainly can. This is what I say. 0:07:38.400 --> 0:07:43.480 What Yeah, No, it's a fellow by the name of 0:07:43.560 --> 0:07:46.560 Nate Friedman. He's at and speaking of things. I tweeted it. 0:07:46.640 --> 0:07:49.760 There was a big demonstration. I can't remember what city 0:07:49.760 --> 0:07:52.120 it was, but it was one of those queers for 0:07:52.200 --> 0:07:55.760 Palestine with a bunch of like transgender and flaming gay 0:07:55.800 --> 0:07:59.000 people wearing rainbow clothes, jumping up and down and chanting 0:07:59.040 --> 0:08:02.160 in favor of Hamas and Palestine. And the caption was 0:08:02.520 --> 0:08:05.600 how insane are these effing people? They would be executed 0:08:05.640 --> 0:08:06.880 the minute they hit the ground. 0:08:07.040 --> 0:08:07.960 Yeah. 0:08:08.080 --> 0:08:11.160 And then you had this reporter going into a demonstration 0:08:11.240 --> 0:08:15.000 in favor of the permanent Omni cause, and he asked 0:08:15.000 --> 0:08:15.880 this question. 0:08:15.880 --> 0:08:19.200 What did you think of the Trump peace plan that 0:08:19.280 --> 0:08:21.480 was submitted? What did you think of it? Honestly, I 0:08:21.480 --> 0:08:23.440 haven't been paying much attention to it. But do you 0:08:23.440 --> 0:08:25.920 think that they should take the deal? I don't know. 0:08:26.000 --> 0:08:31.400 I think they should, I don't know. So they're not 0:08:31.400 --> 0:08:32.199 paying any attention. 0:08:32.720 --> 0:08:40.400 Oh no, No, so your queers for Hamas protesters. Yeah, 0:08:40.720 --> 0:08:43.360 not paying any attention to the biggest peace effort in 0:08:43.360 --> 0:08:45.640 the Middle East in fifty years. 0:08:45.640 --> 0:08:49.280 Right, that everybody on the planet is talking about.

I don't know, will delve deep. 0:11:24.800 --> 0:11:25.800 Into that or not. 0:11:27.360 --> 0:11:31.120 The whole National Guard going into cities across America, and 0:11:31.160 --> 0:11:32.719 then the court's saying, knowing all that, we got to 0:11:32.720 --> 0:11:34.120 get to that at some point. I hope you can 0:11:34.120 --> 0:11:40.079 stick around. How you're holding up with the shutdown and 0:11:40.120 --> 0:11:40.640 everything you doing. 0:11:40.720 --> 0:11:43.640 Okay, I hope so. 0:11:43.160 --> 0:11:45.160 Supreme Court is that's sarcasm. 0:11:45.520 --> 0:11:49.080 The isn't it siphoning car gas out of my neighbor's cars? 0:11:49.120 --> 0:11:54.000 Just you know, extreme times, extreme measures, et cetera. 0:11:54.280 --> 0:11:54.960 Just crazy. 0:11:55.720 --> 0:11:57.560 The Supreme Court is back in session. We'll take a 0:11:57.559 --> 0:11:59.480 look at the what the it's on their docket for 0:11:59.520 --> 0:12:01.040 this year at some point. 0:12:01.480 --> 0:12:03.920 What do you think of the whole ri Odd Comedy 0:12:04.040 --> 0:12:07.480 Festival controversy? Jack I said earlier, I don't have a 0:12:07.480 --> 0:12:09.360 strong opinion on it. The more I think about it, 0:12:09.400 --> 0:12:11.400 the more I think I do, I definitely have a 0:12:11.400 --> 0:12:14.120 strong opinion on it. I read the piece last week 0:12:14.160 --> 0:12:16.720 when we a Friday from a comedian David Cross, really 0:12:16.760 --> 0:12:19.840 blast in a lot of his friends, which was interesting. 0:12:20.240 --> 0:12:23.520 He can't believe that they're going over there. Apparently the 0:12:23.520 --> 0:12:25.560 contracts are out on the internet. Somebody leaked them. 0:12:25.559 --> 0:12:29.920 They're getting crazy money. We're talking big comedians, Dave Chappelle, 0:12:30.000 --> 0:12:34.040 Louis c k among others, but David Cross, Bill Burr. 0:12:34.360 --> 0:12:37.920 But David Cross's blast was you guys, you know, are 0:12:38.160 --> 0:12:41.160 politics lecturing the country all the time, usually on the 0:12:41.200 --> 0:12:44.800 side of you know, how awful America is on these 0:12:44.840 --> 0:12:46.640 issues or whatever. 0:12:46.360 --> 0:12:47.880 And then you go over to where country where they 0:12:47.920 --> 0:12:48.880 have freaking. 0:12:48.600 --> 0:12:53.520 Slaves and they stone women to death because they got raped. Yeah, 0:12:53.559 --> 0:12:57.319 and he said that the comedians that don't do politics, 0:12:57.360 --> 0:13:01.560 you know whatever, you don't have any it's a different deal. 0:13:01.640 --> 0:13:03.480 But and that that's what bothers me. 0:13:04.480 --> 0:13:07.520 A lot of these comedians have their act is lecturing 0:13:07.679 --> 0:13:12.080 everybody about how awful the country is. Right, Saudi Radia 0:13:12.160 --> 0:13:16.840 is a thousand times a million times worse than we 0:13:16.920 --> 0:13:18.880 are on all these issues. And you're gonna go take 0:13:18.920 --> 0:13:21.760 a giant check from these people and you're already wealthy. 0:13:21.800 --> 0:13:24.720 That was David Cross's argument. Dave Chappelle, Luisa, K, what 0:13:24.720 --> 0:13:27.880 do you need another boat? So you're really to throw 0:13:27.920 --> 0:13:30.840 away all your credibility for more money which you don't need. 0:13:31.120 --> 0:13:32.920 I think it's incredibly. 0:13:32.280 --> 0:13:36.360 Weak, right, And you know I don't care about the 0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:38.120 live golf tour for instance. 0:13:38.280 --> 0:13:39.319 Now that's different to me. 0:13:39.480 --> 0:13:43.280 Saudi's are behind that because you know, people gripe about 0:13:43.320 --> 0:13:45.800 that as they do trillions of dollars. 0:13:45.320 --> 0:13:48.600 Of business with China. Yeah, I know, and truly loathsommergime. 0:13:48.800 --> 0:13:52.040 But the nature of comedy is, you know, we call 0:13:52.080 --> 0:13:55.080 it speaking truth to power or the whole point of 0:13:55.120 --> 0:13:59.400 comedy is it gets at truth, often uncomfortable truths. 0:13:59.200 --> 0:14:01.199 But you can get away with it because it's comedy. 0:14:01.360 --> 0:14:04.959 That's why every dictator in the world they can often 0:14:05.320 --> 0:14:09.000 they can take being criticized to a certain point, at 0:14:08.920 --> 0:14:11.200 a certain point, they can take being opposed. The one 0:14:11.240 --> 0:14:14.440 thing they can't take is being mocked being laughed at. 0:14:15.480 --> 0:14:18.320 Well, how about if your comedy act is specifically taking 0:14:18.320 --> 0:14:21.760 on the idiots in this country. You don't believe in 0:14:21.920 --> 0:14:24.840 transgenderism or climate change or whatever the heck the issue 0:14:24.880 --> 0:14:26.520 is right, and you're going over. 0:14:26.360 --> 0:14:28.080 To Saudi Arabia to take money. 0:14:28.680 --> 0:14:31.760 Yeah, that's a real bird they mentioned in this one piece. 0:14:32.640 --> 0:14:36.800 Just murdered Joe Rogan for his distrust of max masks 0:14:36.800 --> 0:14:42.400 and vaccines during the COVID pandemic. He's derided America's epidemic 0:14:42.440 --> 0:14:46.720 of billionaires, gleefully ridiculed the insurance industry's terrified reaction to 0:14:47.160 --> 0:14:50.640 Luigi Mangioni's assassination of a young father who happened to 0:14:50.640 --> 0:14:54.080 be a healthcare CEO. He's had some real fun with that. 0:14:54.800 --> 0:14:56.840 But he towed the line, and he got on his 0:14:56.960 --> 0:15:00.240 leash when it came to the Saudi's telling him you 0:15:00.280 --> 0:15:03.600 can't mention, you can't make fun of our regime or 0:15:03.640 --> 0:15:04.720 religion in any way. 0:15:04.800 --> 0:15:05.360 Well, right that. 0:15:05.480 --> 0:15:09.280 I don't know if that's like written or spoken or 0:15:09.280 --> 0:15:13.560 you just know that, but oh it's part of the contract. Okay, okay, 0:15:13.600 --> 0:15:16.640 Well then forget it. I have no respect for you whatsoever. 0:15:16.840 --> 0:15:19.080 So you're gonna strut around the stage, is the big 0:15:19.120 --> 0:15:22.000 tough guy. I'll say whatever I want, nobody can stop me. 0:15:22.560 --> 0:15:24.200 And then you'll go to Saudi Arabia and sign a 0:15:24.240 --> 0:15:26.360 piece of paper where they tell you all of these 0:15:26.360 --> 0:15:28.640 things are off limits and you say sure for enough money. 0:15:29.200 --> 0:15:32.000 That is freaking week. Man, I've lost all respect. I'm 0:15:32.000 --> 0:15:35.400 like David Cross, I've lost all respect for Chappelle and 0:15:35.480 --> 0:15:38.280 Burr and Luis c K and I love those people. 0:15:38.280 --> 0:15:42.040 But that is just unbelievable. And Chappelle, my god, I'm 0:15:42.080 --> 0:15:43.120 so disappointed to him. 0:15:43.200 --> 0:15:45.720 He made the worst comment because he made some sort 0:15:45.720 --> 0:15:49.040 of crack about transgender this or that and and and 0:15:49.080 --> 0:15:52.400 he says, in Saudi Arabia, this is great. We got 0:15:52.400 --> 0:15:54.760 more freedom of speech here than we do in America. 0:15:55.240 --> 0:15:58.360 What are you talking about? Truly horrifying he's dead to me. 0:15:58.440 --> 0:15:59.280 He's dead to me. 0:15:59.360 --> 0:16:01.680 Now it's a country where this blogger, his name is 0:16:01.760 --> 0:16:06.560 Raif Badawi. He received a thousand lashes and ten years 0:16:06.560 --> 0:16:11.600 in prison recently for insulting Islam quote unquote and founding 0:16:11.640 --> 0:16:16.000 an online site for political debate. And Chappelle's over there 0:16:16.040 --> 0:16:18.560 saying you got more freedom of speech here than in America. 0:16:19.200 --> 0:16:24.080 F you. Sorry, you're brilliant, but f you eh and 0:16:24.160 --> 0:16:28.040 those comedians about Chappelle. But I know h Burr Luisk 0:16:28.440 --> 0:16:30.920 regularly love to make fun of religious people in the 0:16:31.000 --> 0:16:33.600 United States, Christians, Okay, so you want to make fun 0:16:33.640 --> 0:16:36.440 of Christians, You're gonna make fun of anybody in Saudi Arabia. 0:16:36.600 --> 0:16:42.120 No, you're not. That's a freaking weak team man. Let's 0:16:42.160 --> 0:16:44.600 let Luis c. K speak for himself. You got that 0:16:44.640 --> 0:16:48.640 Cliffhandy Michael. So, so you're going to Saudi Arabia. You're 0:16:49.200 --> 0:16:50.640 big festival over there. 0:16:50.720 --> 0:16:54.160 Yes, I mean people have been playing Saudi Arabia for years, 0:16:54.200 --> 0:16:57.720 like comedians have been going and playing Arab countries. They said, 0:16:57.760 --> 0:17:02.040 there's only two restrictions. It's their religion and their government. 0:17:02.160 --> 0:17:04.160 I don't have jokes about those two things. 0:17:04.160 --> 0:17:05.120 It used to be when you. 0:17:05.119 --> 0:17:08.000 Got When I got offers from places like that, that'd 0:17:08.040 --> 0:17:10.040 be a long list and I just say, no, I 0:17:10.040 --> 0:17:13.040 don't need that. But when I heard it's opening, I thought, 0:17:13.040 --> 0:17:16.080 that's awfully interesting. That just feels like a good opportunity. 0:17:16.400 --> 0:17:19.320 And I just think comedy is a great way to 0:17:19.400 --> 0:17:24.080 get in and start talking. And there's Saudi Arabian comedians there, 0:17:24.920 --> 0:17:27.320 and I'm going to a comedy club in Saudi Arabia 0:17:27.359 --> 0:17:29.040 the first that I get there to just see what's 0:17:29.080 --> 0:17:32.480 going on.

And and so they coughed up the ball. 0:19:01.119 --> 0:19:04.199 Who are they playing? I can't even remember. But anyway, 0:19:04.200 --> 0:19:06.760 the other lowly team was at Tennessee. It was one 0:19:06.760 --> 0:19:09.480 of your lowly teams. Yeah yeah, rallied and came back in. 0:19:09.560 --> 0:19:14.879 Won, and Eagles and Bill's Lows both lost.

On that. 0:19:17.320 --> 0:19:22.479 So we talked last week about Barry Wise, who runs 0:19:23.400 --> 0:19:26.720 Free Press, got she got offered a deal several weeks 0:19:26.720 --> 0:19:29.880 ago from CBS, and everybody knew about it, Paramount and 0:19:30.960 --> 0:19:32.720 a lot of talk in the world of media whether 0:19:32.760 --> 0:19:34.760 she would talk take it or not, because she is 0:19:34.800 --> 0:19:40.639 a hardcore honest broker, tries to be an honest broker 0:19:40.640 --> 0:19:42.160 in the media. That's why she left The New York 0:19:42.160 --> 0:19:45.120 Times in the first place, and she ended up taking 0:19:45.119 --> 0:19:47.840 the deal CBS. The story is one hundred and fifty 0:19:47.880 --> 0:19:51.280 million dollars to acquire her free press thing, which is 0:19:51.640 --> 0:19:55.000 which is quite the story, and commentary magazine writing about 0:19:55.200 --> 0:19:58.479 what an amazing media story this really is, and it 0:19:58.560 --> 0:20:02.920 is it is, and then Joe is going to talk 0:20:02.920 --> 0:20:05.639 a little bit about what the future might look like. 0:20:05.720 --> 0:20:08.680 But a couple of notes about Barry Weiss's announcement last 0:20:08.720 --> 0:20:13.760 week about the joining together of the Free Press and Paramount. First, 0:20:13.760 --> 0:20:17.160 this makes the Free Press one of the most amazing, 0:20:17.400 --> 0:20:22.440 entirely organic successes in media history. Barry didn't know that 0:20:22.480 --> 0:20:24.520 this was how it was going to turn out, or 0:20:24.560 --> 0:20:26.000 what was going to turn out when she quit the 0:20:26.040 --> 0:20:28.359
