WEBVTT - His Tear Fell Down His Cheek! Live Team Coverage! 0:00:01.840 --> 0:00:06.080 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:06.200 --> 0:00:10.240 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. 0:00:10.160 --> 0:00:21.200 Arm Strong and Getty and now he Armstrong and Getty. 0:00:23.040 --> 0:00:27.680 Israel is not stopping saying it's attacks have inflicted significant 0:00:27.760 --> 0:00:32.080 damage to Ron's nuclear facilities, that they are just getting started. 0:00:32.360 --> 0:00:33.680 We paved the way to Tehran. 0:00:33.800 --> 0:00:37.720 At are pilots over the skies of Tehran will deal 0:00:37.880 --> 0:00:41.519 blows to the Iteonal regime that they cannot even imagine. 0:00:41.760 --> 0:00:42.280 Good morning. 0:00:43.000 --> 0:00:45.560 I'm hoping you can get Mike Lillions on the show today. 0:00:45.560 --> 0:00:48.800 I think he'd be a great sounding board. And if 0:00:48.800 --> 0:00:51.519 he is on, can you ask him or can the 0:00:51.520 --> 0:00:52.360 guys ask him? 0:00:52.400 --> 0:00:52.800 Please? 0:00:53.280 --> 0:00:58.640 Who in Iran is helping the masade? What internal factions 0:00:58.640 --> 0:01:03.400 are there that are helping to work against the mullas? 0:01:03.440 --> 0:01:07.080 Excellent suggesting getting Mike Lions on to discuss this, if 0:01:07.080 --> 0:01:10.160 you weren't following. Over the weekend, Israel and Iran exchanged 0:01:10.280 --> 0:01:13.240 strikes now for four days in a row where Israel 0:01:13.319 --> 0:01:18.320 hits Iran hard, Iran hits Israel attempts to hit them 0:01:18.360 --> 0:01:21.520 really hard, but about fifteen percent of the drones and 0:01:21.560 --> 0:01:24.759 everything missiles do get through and there have been deaths 0:01:24.840 --> 0:01:28.120 in Tehran for instance, I mean in Tel Aviv in 0:01:28.160 --> 0:01:29.760 a way that we haven't seen in a long time. 0:01:30.840 --> 0:01:33.000 True enough, I was going to say exchanging blows like 0:01:33.120 --> 0:01:36.559 Mike Tyson and my daughter would exchange blows, though proportionately. 0:01:36.840 --> 0:01:36.920 So. 0:01:37.600 --> 0:01:39.720 Yes, we did not need to be prompted. We couldn't 0:01:39.720 --> 0:01:43.920 wait to talk to Mike Lions military analyst about this. Mike, welcome, 0:01:44.000 --> 0:01:48.200 always good to talk. What are your initial impressions. 0:01:47.720 --> 0:01:51.200 Hey, guys, great to be on. Look, this conflict is 0:01:51.480 --> 0:01:53.680 long time coming. This was something that should have been 0:01:53.720 --> 0:01:58.640 anticipated for years at this point, and Israel and I 0:01:58.720 --> 0:02:01.680 was just taken advantage complete and gotten the Iranians out 0:02:01.720 --> 0:02:04.720 of this gray zone of having proxies fight their war 0:02:04.760 --> 0:02:08.400 against them. They've all been wiped out. Israel was not 0:02:08.480 --> 0:02:12.000 going to stand by and watch anybody negotiate a deal 0:02:12.120 --> 0:02:15.920 with the Iranians that would potentially take away their nuclear capability. 0:02:15.960 --> 0:02:18.120 They were taking care of us. This starts back in 0:02:18.200 --> 0:02:21.760 nineteen eighty one when they take out the Iraqi facility 0:02:21.800 --> 0:02:24.080 in osuric in O seven, when they take out the 0:02:24.080 --> 0:02:28.000 Syrian capability, and we had the stucksnet with the Americans 0:02:28.000 --> 0:02:30.760 in the United States going after Scentifugiay. Israel's been at 0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:33.720 war with Iron since then, and this is a generational 0:02:33.720 --> 0:02:36.080 moment and I think we've got to take advantage of 0:02:36.080 --> 0:02:38.840 it in the United States right now. And I understand 0:02:38.880 --> 0:02:41.800 about America First policy, but it clearly, as the President 0:02:41.840 --> 0:02:44.480 has now said, this isn't our best interest to make 0:02:44.520 --> 0:02:48.399 sure the Iranians have nowhere near any kind of nuclear capability. 0:02:48.919 --> 0:02:51.320 And Israel's just not satisfied with just kicking the can 0:02:51.360 --> 0:02:54.160 down the road, which everything before this seemed to be 0:02:54.600 --> 0:02:55.160 driving at. 0:02:55.320 --> 0:02:59.679 What's your concerns with the forty thousand US Service people 0:02:59.720 --> 0:03:02.240 we have in the area at like a dozen different bases. 0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:08.880 Well, the limited capability that Iran has to strike would 0:03:08.880 --> 0:03:11.880 be more lucky if they hit anything at this point. 0:03:12.360 --> 0:03:17.080 I think they're you know, there's maybe some fiber attacks, 0:03:17.080 --> 0:03:19.760 I guess, and you know, the sleeper cells and all 0:03:19.760 --> 0:03:22.840 those kinds of things, but nothing from a strategic perspective. 0:03:23.480 --> 0:03:25.880 Right now, you can see what they're launching at Israel 0:03:26.080 --> 0:03:29.560 has has got tremendous circle era of probable airs. They're 0:03:29.560 --> 0:03:31.839 not they're not even trying to you know, they can't 0:03:31.880 --> 0:03:34.080 hit targets that they're like to hit their hitting civilian 0:03:34.160 --> 0:03:36.160 built up areas and nothing the like. And right now 0:03:36.560 --> 0:03:38.600 the focus that Israel is doing is going after their 0:03:38.640 --> 0:03:40.560 capability to do that. So they're gonna They're gonna run 0:03:40.560 --> 0:03:43.520 an animal pretty soon, run out of capability. And so 0:03:43.760 --> 0:03:46.560 I'm not concerned, and I'm sure those American forces are 0:03:46.560 --> 0:03:49.160 on high alert. But if the Iranians were dumb enough 0:03:49.200 --> 0:03:53.080 to go after the any American forces there, well, then 0:03:53.080 --> 0:03:56.240 now the President's got an open lane to bring in 0:03:56.320 --> 0:03:59.160 B two bombers and F sixteen's and everything else. That would, 0:03:59.320 --> 0:04:01.080 you know, pretty much speed up what's going to be 0:04:01.120 --> 0:04:02.640 the end of this Iranian regime? 0:04:03.280 --> 0:04:06.880 Mike? To what extent has Israel controlled the air over Iran? 0:04:07.000 --> 0:04:08.960 And how important is that? Yeah? 0:04:09.000 --> 0:04:11.440 One hundred percent of air of supremacy now at this point, 0:04:12.280 --> 0:04:15.000 and look that some of these missiles are going to 0:04:15.000 --> 0:04:17.000 get through. There's no such thing as one hundred percent 0:04:17.600 --> 0:04:20.599 air defenses that can lock. And I want to be 0:04:20.600 --> 0:04:24.599 glib and say commanders expect losses, but the amount of 0:04:24.680 --> 0:04:29.160 damage that the Israeli militaries exist is exhibiting right now 0:04:29.200 --> 0:04:33.240 against deep targets in Iran, against their drone sites and 0:04:33.600 --> 0:04:36.560 ammunition dumps. And now if you can see, they're kind 0:04:36.600 --> 0:04:38.840 of almost going away from the nuclear facilities first because 0:04:38.839 --> 0:04:41.800 they want to make sure they maintain this air superiority. 0:04:41.839 --> 0:04:45.440 So they're hunting for those missile sites and missile platforms 0:04:45.640 --> 0:04:48.480 that I think within the next few days or so 0:04:48.560 --> 0:04:50.760 we'll really start to diminish, and then they go back 0:04:50.800 --> 0:04:53.880 towards hitting those the nuclear facilities there. It's going to 0:04:53.920 --> 0:04:56.520 take a while though. They're very deep, that one in 0:04:56.600 --> 0:04:59.520 Fertal for example, potentially up to two hundred and fifty 0:04:59.520 --> 0:05:03.039 feet deep concrete reinforced bunkers. For that to go, they're 0:05:03.040 --> 0:05:04.800 going to have to bring in the United States to 0:05:04.800 --> 0:05:06.160 be too bomber, They're going to have to bring in 0:05:06.200 --> 0:05:09.680 a different weapons systems, and I do believe that will 0:05:09.680 --> 0:05:10.480 eventually happen. 0:05:11.160 --> 0:05:13.719 So we're not directly involved right now, like like our 0:05:13.760 --> 0:05:16.680 planes and pilots are that sort of thing. But from 0:05:16.680 --> 0:05:18.440 what I understand, we've got a lot of assets in 0:05:18.440 --> 0:05:20.800 the area. We've moved some assets to the area to 0:05:20.880 --> 0:05:22.800 be ready for this. How how I don't want to 0:05:22.880 --> 0:05:25.200 use bogged down as overstating, but how how much of 0:05:25.200 --> 0:05:29.880 our attention is on this And for instance, if putin 0:05:29.920 --> 0:05:33.200 decided to use a tactical nuke in Ukraine thinking that 0:05:33.279 --> 0:05:35.880 you know, NATO's busy with this, or China did something right. 0:05:35.960 --> 0:05:38.920 I mean, how much of our attention is this Iran 0:05:39.320 --> 0:05:42.000 Israel thing taken? Well, two different. 0:05:41.720 --> 0:05:46.200 Combat commands, Sentcom is running this one here, so they're 0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:50.119 you know, well leaning forward, making sure naval assets for example, 0:05:50.160 --> 0:05:53.080 the Mediterranean, we've we've maintained assets. I think the concern 0:05:53.080 --> 0:05:55.760 would be if the Ranians again do something dumb like 0:05:55.839 --> 0:05:58.240 try to shut down the straits of our moots or 0:05:58.400 --> 0:06:01.760 do something where it impact, you know, the world economy. 0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:05.160 I think that's where there are some risk there. They're 0:06:05.160 --> 0:06:08.039 going to eventually get desperate, as this regime is going 0:06:08.080 --> 0:06:10.320 to try to negotiate its way out of it eventually. 0:06:10.360 --> 0:06:11.880 But I don't think the Israelis are going to let 0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:13.640 them there, and this is war. They're not They're not 0:06:13.680 --> 0:06:18.000 stopping until around says we surrender, and they're not. They're 0:06:18.320 --> 0:06:21.560 no longer looking for diplomatic solutions. And from my perspective, 0:06:21.560 --> 0:06:23.839 and you have the Israeli's kind of as the bad 0:06:23.880 --> 0:06:25.880 cop right now the United States, Donald Trump playing a 0:06:25.880 --> 0:06:27.800 good cop who knew that this was going to happen. 0:06:27.880 --> 0:06:29.159 But that that's. 0:06:29.000 --> 0:06:32.599 Really you know, this administration has been handed too tremendous 0:06:32.640 --> 0:06:35.520 gifts in the last six months. You've got the Ukrainian 0:06:35.520 --> 0:06:39.360 military destroying what's left of the Russian military in play 0:06:39.440 --> 0:06:41.520 still and then you have this situation where Israel is 0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:45.120 about to almost you know, redo the entire Middle East. 0:06:45.120 --> 0:06:47.520 The entire environment is completely going to be different. Now 0:06:47.800 --> 0:06:51.720 there's opportunity for us to get Lebanon resettled, Syria to 0:06:51.839 --> 0:06:54.360 join the League of Nations and the like. You'll see 0:06:54.400 --> 0:06:58.160 Saudi and Israeli deals that will make down. So this 0:06:58.160 --> 0:07:00.640 this has been a long time coming, and getting this 0:07:00.680 --> 0:07:03.200 problem resolved, it's been the number one foreign policy failure 0:07:03.200 --> 0:07:04.960 in my lifetime. I know we've talked about this before 0:07:04.960 --> 0:07:08.320 in a post World War two US foreign policy perspective, 0:07:08.320 --> 0:07:10.960 and I'm just glad it's coming because this was just 0:07:11.000 --> 0:07:11.680 a matter of time. 0:07:12.280 --> 0:07:16.280 Talking to military analysts, Mike Lyons, Mike, speaking of alliances, 0:07:16.320 --> 0:07:19.560 have you seen any signs that the I'm sorry for 0:07:19.640 --> 0:07:24.120 the lighthearted characterization here, but the axes of a holes 0:07:24.720 --> 0:07:27.840 in Russia, China, anybody rallying to her on support in 0:07:27.880 --> 0:07:28.960 any material. 0:07:28.560 --> 0:07:33.200 Way, not in the least and it speats. It's winners 0:07:33.200 --> 0:07:35.480 and losers, right, I mean, there's side, there's no one 0:07:35.640 --> 0:07:38.160 to come to their aid, and Russia has got no 0:07:38.240 --> 0:07:40.760 capability to do anything. The Chinese are smart enough to 0:07:40.760 --> 0:07:45.040 stay out of this, so no, there's no The entire 0:07:45.240 --> 0:07:49.640 proxy defenses have been stripped away. In the past, Israel 0:07:49.760 --> 0:07:54.040 would be concerned about militia brigades organized in Syria attacking 0:07:54.080 --> 0:07:58.000 on the Golden Heights or rockets coming in from Gaza 0:07:58.280 --> 0:08:01.520 and Hesba. Those guys are gone and everyone's done, like 0:08:01.960 --> 0:08:05.400 their entire force, their entire force. So again, gray zone over. 0:08:05.600 --> 0:08:09.520 This is war on war between two countries. I'm watching 0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:11.320 people talk about you know this is going to de escalate. 0:08:11.360 --> 0:08:13.000 It's not going to de escalate for a second. This 0:08:13.120 --> 0:08:18.040 is not stopping until Israel is completely satisfied that their 0:08:18.200 --> 0:08:21.200 nuclear capability is done with the implied task that this 0:08:21.280 --> 0:08:24.000 regime is out too. I know that we saw the 0:08:24.040 --> 0:08:27.119 report that the President denied Israel going after the leader 0:08:27.160 --> 0:08:30.480 of the committee there, which is fine. I think decapitation 0:08:30.680 --> 0:08:33.200 is always an issue. I hope we're working on what 0:08:33.360 --> 0:08:35.560 takes over, because that's going to be the issue. If 0:08:35.640 --> 0:08:38.959 hardline Republican Guard units take over the country. That's not 0:08:39.000 --> 0:08:41.199 going to be very good at all, But Israel will 0:08:41.480 --> 0:08:43.680 keep going until they find somebody that they can negotiate with. 0:08:43.880 --> 0:08:46.520 So we played a collar asking the question, you know, 0:08:46.800 --> 0:08:49.840 who's in Iran working with Masad? So the Masad was 0:08:50.080 --> 0:08:54.040 in Israel, it would seem for a month and a 0:08:54.080 --> 0:08:56.360 half getting that whole drawing set up going and everything 0:08:56.440 --> 0:08:59.400 like that. Do you think there are people within Iranian 0:09:00.120 --> 0:09:02.480 high levels of the military or whatever that are working 0:09:02.480 --> 0:09:04.800 with Israel. Yeah, no question there are. 0:09:04.880 --> 0:09:07.880 And the level of infiltration that MESAD has in the 0:09:07.920 --> 0:09:11.640 high levels of the Iranian government is just staggering, considering 0:09:12.000 --> 0:09:14.440 the fact that when the war started they were able 0:09:14.480 --> 0:09:17.920 to take out pinpoints specifically where some of those leaders were, 0:09:18.000 --> 0:09:19.719 the head of the chief of staff, the head of 0:09:19.720 --> 0:09:23.640 their rocket program, the nuclear scientists. You know, if you're 0:09:23.640 --> 0:09:27.600 a college professor teaching a nuclear course in Tehran right now, 0:09:28.040 --> 0:09:30.680 what look up because you might want to find yourself 0:09:30.720 --> 0:09:33.400 in a bunk or someplace because you're you're the next target. 0:09:33.800 --> 0:09:36.520 So the level of intelligence that Israel has to this, 0:09:36.600 --> 0:09:38.760 but it's been years in planning. This is again not 0:09:38.960 --> 0:09:42.760 something that they decided to do very quickly. They waited 0:09:42.800 --> 0:09:46.040 for this exact moment, and a lot of things went right. 0:09:46.080 --> 0:09:48.360 The this administration being in place, I think is another 0:09:48.400 --> 0:09:51.640 thing that that's helped Israel at this point. But starting 0:09:51.640 --> 0:09:54.520 on October seventh, when when not in YEAHO said this 0:09:54.640 --> 0:09:57.040 is a time for peace and time for war. That's 0:09:57.080 --> 0:09:58.679 where they're at. They've been on a war footing ever 0:09:58.760 --> 0:10:02.319 since they stripped out, took Hamas out, they took Lebanon out. 0:10:02.360 --> 0:10:05.120 You saw what happened in Uh in Syria, that that 0:10:05.559 --> 0:10:08.400 those militias are done, A rock is quiet, So now 0:10:08.520 --> 0:10:10.880 is the time to go after the Iranians. They were 0:10:10.920 --> 0:10:12.880 always going to do this, It's just a matter of time. 0:10:13.360 --> 0:10:15.319 Uh and now that it's started, it's not going to 0:10:15.320 --> 0:10:16.320 stop until the tennised. 0:10:16.800 --> 0:10:19.680 Well, yeah, Mike, you've you've partially answered this question. But 0:10:19.720 --> 0:10:21.640 what do you expect to see next in the last 0:10:22.040 --> 0:10:23.679 in the next several days. 0:10:24.760 --> 0:10:30.040 Well, I'm going to be concerned about civilians inside of 0:10:30.080 --> 0:10:33.240 Iran as as information starts getting out about their lack 0:10:33.280 --> 0:10:35.840 of services, as these Raelis are going after some critical 0:10:35.840 --> 0:10:39.280 infrastructure there, and what what what a revolution would look 0:10:39.320 --> 0:10:41.160 like and what it would take place and who takes over. 0:10:42.040 --> 0:10:46.280 I'd like to see again more military targets uh be acquired, 0:10:46.400 --> 0:10:48.320 especially on the nuclear side. They they they have not 0:10:48.480 --> 0:10:52.560 been as they've not gone after them as well as 0:10:52.640 --> 0:10:55.840 much as I thought in Florida and Thomas and Istrahan. 0:10:55.880 --> 0:10:58.760 It was another place where they're refining and doing things, 0:10:59.200 --> 0:11:01.360 and I think they've ad on those in order to 0:11:01.520 --> 0:11:04.480 ensure this air superiority. But I think it's going to 0:11:04.520 --> 0:11:07.120 go on for for many days, possibly many weeks, and 0:11:07.600 --> 0:11:10.160 to see what the Ranians try to do. But there'll 0:11:10.200 --> 0:11:13.040 be no deal. There'll be absolutely no The Iranians will 0:11:13.040 --> 0:11:15.040 try to buy time, they'll try to like like they've 0:11:15.040 --> 0:11:18.719 done with Hamas. They just want the Israeli military to 0:11:18.760 --> 0:11:20.720 stop because they think if they can stop that the 0:11:20.760 --> 0:11:22.720 rest of the world will come in on israel side. 0:11:23.040 --> 0:11:25.840 Everyone's very quiet about that right now. Everyone is fairly happy. 0:11:26.280 --> 0:11:28.520 In Saudi Arabia, for example, they put this memo out 0:11:28.559 --> 0:11:31.560 saying we're concerned about what Israel's doing. They're dancing inside 0:11:31.600 --> 0:11:34.120 the palace there knowing full well at Israels kicking out 0:11:34.160 --> 0:11:35.840 this nuclear capability. 0:11:35.400 --> 0:11:37.079 And before we let you go, would you think of 0:11:37.120 --> 0:11:40.720 the big army parade on Saturday. Yeah, I thought it 0:11:40.760 --> 0:11:41.040 was great. 0:11:41.160 --> 0:11:42.360 I thought it was too bad that a lot of 0:11:42.400 --> 0:11:44.720 people through beer from the bleachers. I read Peggy Unions 0:11:44.840 --> 0:11:46.720 op ed that, you know, tried to compare it to 0:11:47.480 --> 0:11:49.080 you know, North Korea and Russia. It was never going 0:11:49.120 --> 0:11:50.960 to be that way. I have faith in my army 0:11:51.480 --> 0:11:53.000 that they were going to put on a great show 0:11:53.760 --> 0:11:57.839 regardless of who was president. You saw the best of 0:11:58.160 --> 0:12:00.199 our country there two hundred and fifty years and the 0:12:00.200 --> 0:12:03.560 greatest fighting force that's ever been known to mankind. So 0:12:04.160 --> 0:12:06.080 I'm proud of my army and I'm so glad. 0:12:06.480 --> 0:12:07.560 It went off the way it was. 0:12:07.600 --> 0:12:10.839 There was no politics involved, and again all the people 0:12:10.880 --> 0:12:13.080 with the cognitive dissidents that couldn't kind of figure out 0:12:13.120 --> 0:12:15.160 that it's possible that we can have that and still 0:12:15.360 --> 0:12:18.800 have a president like Donald Trump. Well, you know it, 0:12:18.960 --> 0:12:21.720 Mayson be seeing you saw what I think was the 0:12:21.720 --> 0:12:24.400 best of the best on display and Saturday. 0:12:24.559 --> 0:12:28.200 Well, said military analyst Mike Lyons. Always a pleasure. Thanks 0:12:28.200 --> 0:12:30.719 a million, Mike, Great guys, thanks for having me. Yeah, 0:12:30.800 --> 0:12:32.480 on the parade. I just was looking up and they 0:12:32.480 --> 0:12:36.160 had a little coverage on ABC News and they showed 0:12:36.360 --> 0:12:39.120 the various old timing uniforms. They had people in Revolutionary 0:12:39.120 --> 0:12:41.600 War uniforms in World War One and all this different 0:12:41.600 --> 0:12:42.720 sort of stuff, and then all the way up to 0:12:42.720 --> 0:12:46.480 the most modern guys decked out in the coolest modern 0:12:46.520 --> 0:12:49.280 stuff with the robot dogs marching along next to him. 0:12:49.280 --> 0:12:52.840 Didn't you see that? No idea, Wow, the robot dogs. 0:12:53.000 --> 0:12:55.800 That's terrifying. Yeah, I've got a good to find A 0:12:55.800 --> 0:12:59.840 good highlight package was it was our wedding anniversary on Saturday, 0:12:59.840 --> 0:13:03.240 and we had room. So when you're having your wedding anniversary, 0:13:03.320 --> 0:13:05.640 you won't won't sit around watching cable news. Well, aren't 0:13:05.679 --> 0:13:09.120 you precious? Pipe down, honey, I'm busy watching news. Yes, 0:13:10.600 --> 0:13:12.959 I didn't go with that strategy. I have many more 0:13:12.960 --> 0:13:16.040 comments on what Mike Lyons said around a certain areas, 0:13:16.040 --> 0:13:17.480 but I'm sure we'll get to it later because this 0:13:17.559 --> 0:13:20.559 is a big topic for the day. A different story, 0:13:20.679 --> 0:13:23.960 A man known as the Superminator has hung up his 0:13:24.120 --> 0:13:29.720 gonads after many years of service. Friends and how you 0:13:29.720 --> 0:13:33.959 look at it, among other stories, we have to stay here, 0:13:35.440 --> 0:13:40.559 armstrong and welcome to la where something is always on fire? 0:13:44.760 --> 0:13:48.000 Why always? Guess we've had a little unrest, you know, 0:13:48.840 --> 0:13:51.120 a little you know, let's not over do this Okay, 0:13:51.240 --> 0:13:54.640 it's a few blocks downtown. It's downtown. We've in downtown. 0:13:54.679 --> 0:13:56.840 The authorities told the people who live there in that 0:13:56.920 --> 0:13:59.480 area just to be on the safe side, remain in 0:13:59.480 --> 0:14:05.400 your tent. Tru Dad. I walked around downtown on my 0:14:05.480 --> 0:14:08.200 sixtieth birthday. Remember I was staying downtown, and I went 0:14:08.240 --> 0:14:10.079 to that big church and walked around in Hey. It's 0:14:10.160 --> 0:14:13.120 a lot of people living in tents, lots lots of 0:14:13.600 --> 0:14:20.520 rundown hotels that occupied by homeless people. AnyWho, a camping 0:14:20.600 --> 0:14:23.520 weather in La. We have some developments in the war 0:14:23.560 --> 0:14:25.280 in them at least. But we'll leave that alone for 0:14:25.320 --> 0:14:27.080 a second and get back to it a little bit later. 0:14:27.120 --> 0:14:29.800 But there are new things happening as the bombing goes on. 0:14:30.600 --> 0:14:34.160 Happy Father's Day. It was Father's Day yesterday. In whatever 0:14:34.200 --> 0:14:37.160 way you honor that, I got a number of really 0:14:37.240 --> 0:14:42.440 nice texts from various people, which I appreciated. A guy 0:14:42.560 --> 0:14:49.800 named dubbed the Sperminator is decided to hang up his testicles, 0:14:50.160 --> 0:14:53.920 and he announced it yesterday on Father's Day, after he's 0:14:54.120 --> 0:14:56.800 turning fifty. Do you don't know this guy? You're wrinkling 0:14:56.840 --> 0:14:59.600 your eyes there as Katie riddling in my eyes at 0:14:59.640 --> 0:15:02.240 a lot of thanks at this story down. Yeah, I'm 0:15:02.520 --> 0:15:05.760 I'm taking a wait and see a posture on this 0:15:05.800 --> 0:15:08.240 last secon. He was dubbed the Sperminator by the New 0:15:08.320 --> 0:15:13.200 York Post due to his prolific sperm donations. He uh, 0:15:13.360 --> 0:15:19.240 after more than seventeen years of donating his swimmers to 0:15:19.440 --> 0:15:24.520 complete strangers and generating one hundred and eighty one kids 0:15:25.120 --> 0:15:29.040 across five continents, He's finally retiring. For some reason. He's 0:15:29.040 --> 0:15:32.040 a math professor from New York. I think that makes 0:15:32.080 --> 0:15:35.800 you an incredible weirdo. But you know people need that. 0:15:36.160 --> 0:15:42.040 So I suppose you being the guy who shows up 0:15:42.200 --> 0:15:46.960 like every other day with a sample for some weird reason. Well, no, 0:15:47.160 --> 0:15:50.280 there's demand for him. Is probably a tall, good looking 0:15:50.320 --> 0:15:53.440 math professor, right, Yeah, that's part of it. Yes, the 0:15:54.720 --> 0:15:59.880 industry that says to him, you know, see you Monday. 0:16:00.080 --> 0:16:03.000 You know we're going to need more for more moms 0:16:03.040 --> 0:16:05.040 around the world, or are looking for tall, good looking 0:16:05.120 --> 0:16:08.760 kids who are good at math, the whole things. But 0:16:08.840 --> 0:16:11.120 then they and I know there is a need for 0:16:11.160 --> 0:16:13.280 that and all that sort of thing. But the idea 0:16:13.280 --> 0:16:15.280 that I got one hundred and eighty one kids out 0:16:15.280 --> 0:16:17.840 there that are not going to have any of my 0:16:18.120 --> 0:16:21.680 parenting or any stories about my dad and mom, or 0:16:21.880 --> 0:16:25.080 just none of the you know, and none of that. 0:16:25.240 --> 0:16:28.200 I just I think that's I hate that. So are 0:16:28.200 --> 0:16:30.320 you against sperm donation in general? 0:16:30.480 --> 0:16:30.680 No? 0:16:31.200 --> 0:16:33.200 I don't know that. I mean, because if I had 0:16:33.800 --> 0:16:38.200 one kid out there answering the description you just gave, 0:16:38.760 --> 0:16:42.680 that's a tragedy. Although I know people who do have 0:16:42.760 --> 0:16:46.040 that information about the sperm donator. When it's you know, 0:16:47.280 --> 0:16:50.920 a person who do you know pass along that information 0:16:51.040 --> 0:16:52.800 or allow them to get in contact, you're not going 0:16:52.840 --> 0:16:54.360 to get in contact. Is he going to get in 0:16:54.400 --> 0:16:57.680 contact with one hundred and eighty one different kids? No, 0:16:57.720 --> 0:17:00.400 I don't know. That's not the nature that though, as 0:17:00.440 --> 0:17:03.160 long as you have the medical information, I don't. I'm 0:17:03.160 --> 0:17:05.520 just saying I wouldn't want that. No, I hear you, 0:17:05.960 --> 0:17:07.720 I hear you. I hate Do you have a whole 0:17:07.760 --> 0:17:10.359 bunch of little mees out there with me in no 0:17:10.520 --> 0:17:16.480 role in whatsoever? We all hate that idea armstrong and 0:17:16.560 --> 0:17:18.760 getty authority. 0:17:18.840 --> 0:17:23.160 Say, a suspected gunman impersonating a police officer targeted two 0:17:23.200 --> 0:17:27.439 Democratic lawmakers and their spouses in their homes, killing former 0:17:27.560 --> 0:17:32.040 Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark. State 0:17:32.119 --> 0:17:35.440 Senator John Hoffman and his wife Yvett were critically wounded. 0:17:35.800 --> 0:17:39.199 A list of additional targets was found in the suspects vehicle, 0:17:39.520 --> 0:17:43.560 as well as no kings flyers. Minnesota Governor Tim Wallas 0:17:43.640 --> 0:17:47.400 denounced the political violence and vowed to bring those responsible 0:17:47.440 --> 0:17:48.320 to justice. 0:17:48.400 --> 0:17:52.399 And that has happened. He got caught. Here's that report. 0:17:54.280 --> 0:17:55.880 The shooter is now in custody. 0:17:55.880 --> 0:17:58.640 The Ramsey County Sheriff's office calling fifty seven year old 0:17:58.720 --> 0:18:01.840 Vance Bolter the faith of evil after he was caught 0:18:01.920 --> 0:18:04.760 last night crawling in a field near his home in 0:18:04.800 --> 0:18:09.000 green Isle, Minnesota, southwest of Minneapolis, and this morning, police 0:18:09.040 --> 0:18:12.560 documents reveal that inside the car that Bolter ditched near 0:18:12.600 --> 0:18:16.280 his home, they found three AK forty seven assault rifles, 0:18:16.560 --> 0:18:20.520 a nine millimeter handgun, a list of other public officials, 0:18:20.760 --> 0:18:23.680 and outside of the car they found another gun, a mask, 0:18:23.920 --> 0:18:27.879 and a gold style police badge. Police say Bolter dressed 0:18:28.040 --> 0:18:30.840 like a police officer. He wore a Halloween style mask 0:18:31.200 --> 0:18:33.480 and drove what looked like a squad car. 0:18:34.320 --> 0:18:37.320 So the guy seems completely nuts to me. He murdered 0:18:37.320 --> 0:18:40.080 a couple of Minnesota state lawmakers tried to kill a 0:18:40.160 --> 0:18:45.000 couple of others. His what we've heard so far, and 0:18:45.080 --> 0:18:49.159 I'm not trusting of the media and that they're not, 0:18:49.920 --> 0:18:54.600 you know, only giving this information that helps their narrative. 0:18:54.720 --> 0:18:57.760 But because I'm not hearing enough about how crazy he is, 0:18:57.800 --> 0:19:01.199 he's got to have all kinds of other indications of 0:19:01.200 --> 0:19:07.280 his nuttiness. Well, yeah, I agree, although nuttiness can mean 0:19:07.480 --> 0:19:10.800 like psychosis, he's got serious mental illness, or could just 0:19:10.880 --> 0:19:14.200 mean an angry loser who wants to take his angry 0:19:14.280 --> 0:19:17.440 loserdom out on others. I think it's more that one, right, 0:19:17.440 --> 0:19:22.720 But the only anger toward government we've heard is all national, 0:19:22.880 --> 0:19:25.200 you know, with the no kings and not liking Trump, 0:19:25.240 --> 0:19:27.320 and you see it kill a couple of state lawmakers 0:19:27.320 --> 0:19:31.000 in Minnesota. I mean that's pretty freaking crazy. Yeah, he 0:19:31.080 --> 0:19:34.280 had a well, he had a history of being hardcore 0:19:34.400 --> 0:19:38.439 anti abortion. He believed abortion was murder, and the lawmakers 0:19:38.440 --> 0:19:43.640 in question were abortion rights advocates. According to people who 0:19:43.680 --> 0:19:51.480 know this guy, his best friend said he'd done a 0:19:51.520 --> 0:19:56.160 three year stint in Africa. He fancied himself the head 0:19:56.200 --> 0:20:00.160 of a security company that never really got up and running, 0:20:00.240 --> 0:20:04.560 and his friend and sometimes roommates said that the company 0:20:04.640 --> 0:20:08.560 really never existed and he's had troubles since he got 0:20:08.600 --> 0:20:16.560 back from Africa. He had a LinkedIn, uh you know, 0:20:16.760 --> 0:20:21.240 page that had the Red Lion Group was a security company, 0:20:21.280 --> 0:20:24.280 but it had no employees. Other nobody can find that 0:20:24.359 --> 0:20:27.679 it really existed. He just he's an He seems to 0:20:27.720 --> 0:20:37.440 be an angry loser, you know, underachiever par excellence. It 0:20:37.480 --> 0:20:40.840 was a semi delusional I hired a couple of loser. 0:20:41.000 --> 0:20:43.800 I hired a couple of news outlets over the weekend, 0:20:44.160 --> 0:20:47.600 national news outlets who did not mention the party affiliation 0:20:47.840 --> 0:20:53.199 of the lawmakers that were killed. And I thought, you know, 0:20:53.920 --> 0:20:56.320 I wish there was more of that because it shouldn't 0:20:56.320 --> 0:21:02.040 make any difference. Political violence isn't whing and dollarate, right, 0:21:02.280 --> 0:21:05.200 so breaking it down by party is doesn't make any difference. 0:21:05.280 --> 0:21:08.600 You can't do it. We can't even think it's possible. 0:21:09.160 --> 0:21:11.120 You know, if you float around social media, you would 0:21:11.119 --> 0:21:13.480 certainly get the idea that plenty of people think it's okay. 0:21:14.560 --> 0:21:19.080 Uh yeah, that's sick. I was pleasantly surprised. Lisa Lehrer, 0:21:19.080 --> 0:21:21.119 whose work I don't know, was writing for The New 0:21:21.200 --> 0:21:23.800 York Times, and the headline is like school shootings, political 0:21:23.880 --> 0:21:31.040 violence is becoming almost routine, and to my delight, she leads, 0:21:31.200 --> 0:21:34.840 after the shock and horror of the assassinations in Minnesota, 0:21:34.920 --> 0:21:38.719 just one sentence, horrible news, said Representative Steve Scalise, who 0:21:38.760 --> 0:21:42.160 was shot at a baseball game in twenty seventeen. Paul 0:21:42.160 --> 0:21:45.240 and I are heartbroken, said former Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband 0:21:45.320 --> 0:21:49.640 was bludgeoned with a hammer. Gabby Gifford's comments, then Josh 0:21:49.680 --> 0:21:54.880
