WEBVTT - It's Like A Kidney Stone On Death Row 0:00:01.920 --> 0:00:06.200 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:06.280 --> 0:00:10.920 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong and 0:00:11.039 --> 0:00:25.400 Getty and he Armstrong and Yetty. Finally, Lebron James and 0:00:25.440 --> 0:00:28.080 his son Brown yesterday became the first father son duo 0:00:28.080 --> 0:00:30.080 would have played together on an NBA team. Well, I 0:00:30.160 --> 0:00:33.000 probably haven't. With Will Chamberlain, you know, he just didn't know. 0:00:35.440 --> 0:00:35.559 Yo. 0:00:37.240 --> 0:00:43.159 Will Chamberlain FA stat stuff famously had sex with ten 0:00:43.200 --> 0:00:43.800 thousand women. 0:00:43.840 --> 0:00:48.360 I think he caimed back to the fifty thousand. It's incomprehensible. Yeah, 0:00:48.760 --> 0:00:49.800 it's fairly disgusting. 0:00:50.280 --> 0:00:52.400 Yes, exactly nothing to aspire to. 0:00:54.080 --> 0:00:58.320 So there's a gigantic hurricane bearing down on Tampa Bay, 0:00:58.680 --> 0:00:59.600 Hurricane Milton. 0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:01.319 They don't everything they need. 0:01:02.360 --> 0:01:07.679 They're very happy about the boards board getting everything they need. 0:01:07.760 --> 0:01:10.400 Yeah, they're decimated in North Carolina, and the response of 0:01:10.440 --> 0:01:13.960 the federal government has become, as it often does, pretty controversial, 0:01:15.120 --> 0:01:19.720 often politicized. On the other hand, according to many folks 0:01:19.760 --> 0:01:21.560 who listened to The Armstrong and Getty Show and have 0:01:21.920 --> 0:01:24.399 dropped us a line at Mailbag at Armstrong and Geeddy 0:01:24.440 --> 0:01:27.080 dot com. That's our email address. Mail Bag at Armstrong 0:01:27.120 --> 0:01:27.800 and geedddy dot com. 0:01:28.040 --> 0:01:28.160 UH. 0:01:28.319 --> 0:01:32.120 Dealing with FEMA has not been a pleasure at all. 0:01:32.680 --> 0:01:35.959 By the way, last hour, I used a phrase to 0:01:36.080 --> 0:01:41.679 characterize Alejandro Majorcis which was harshly critical, and I won't 0:01:41.680 --> 0:01:42.520 apologize for that. 0:01:42.600 --> 0:01:43.440 I think he is. 0:01:43.520 --> 0:01:51.280 A rotten, useless, drain on humanity, soulless bureaucrat. Yes, yes, 0:01:51.360 --> 0:01:57.800 the worst sort of ineffective taxpayer money guzzling sons of 0:01:57.880 --> 0:02:01.120 bitches Apart from me. The only thing I want to 0:02:01.160 --> 0:02:05.000 apologize for is it was inelegant. It was like a 0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:09.320 third grader. I'm better than that. I'm a wordsmith, and 0:02:09.360 --> 0:02:17.600 I went with stupid waste of skin. Just's like, you 0:02:17.639 --> 0:02:19.400 know what, I'm a major league ballplayer. I went, oh 0:02:19.400 --> 0:02:19.760 for three. 0:02:20.800 --> 0:02:21.600 They had a bad day. 0:02:22.040 --> 0:02:24.840 Anyway, I thought this was so interesting. A couple of notes. 0:02:25.840 --> 0:02:30.079 This is from UH. He signs off his four it's 0:02:30.120 --> 0:02:31.919 a nickname. I don't want to give his real name. 0:02:32.200 --> 0:02:35.280 Back in twenty nineteen, I was in a federal community 0:02:35.320 --> 0:02:38.079 service program for people aged eighteen to twenty four called 0:02:38.200 --> 0:02:41.360 AMERICRPS NCCC, which you may remember. 0:02:41.360 --> 0:02:46.560 I think Bill Clinton started that AmeriCorps. It doesn't matter. 0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:50.040 And we had responded to a hurricane in Florida doing 0:02:50.040 --> 0:02:53.080 a bunch of disaster relief stuff on the ground, work 0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:56.800 like gutting mold out of houses, tarping roofs, picking up 0:02:56.880 --> 0:02:57.840 large heavy debris. 0:02:58.520 --> 0:03:00.640 We have an and good for you. 0:03:00.720 --> 0:03:02.600 By the way, I used to do that sort of thing, 0:03:02.680 --> 0:03:05.800 especially in high school, and it was very satisfying. We 0:03:05.880 --> 0:03:09.840 have another branch of our program called NCCC FEMA. From 0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:12.960 what I understand, they do exactly what FEMA does. I'm 0:03:13.000 --> 0:03:15.640 not entirely sure if they're separate organizations. Anyway, The point 0:03:15.680 --> 0:03:21.680 is that when we AmeriCorps guys America or NCCC guys 0:03:21.720 --> 0:03:24.120 would come around, people had a really good attitude toward 0:03:24.160 --> 0:03:26.600 us because of the work we did. But the FEMA 0:03:26.639 --> 0:03:29.680 guys were normally met with annoyance and anger because so 0:03:29.760 --> 0:03:32.960 many people have been burnt by the government helped counsel 0:03:33.080 --> 0:03:37.600 canceling out private sector help. And we've heard of that 0:03:37.640 --> 0:03:43.240 phenomenon before, and I think was FEMA. The disastrous Paradise 0:03:43.280 --> 0:03:46.320 fire in northern California that killed so many and destroyed 0:03:46.360 --> 0:03:50.800 so much property a few years ago is not terribly 0:03:50.800 --> 0:03:53.040 far from the Radio ranch and a lot of folks 0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:57.880 in that area. Listen to the show, and anyway, they 0:03:57.920 --> 0:04:00.840 talked about how when the FEDS come in, they come 0:04:00.880 --> 0:04:04.120 in with a heavy hand and they take control and 0:04:04.160 --> 0:04:06.240 they shove aside the locals and the rest of it, 0:04:07.280 --> 0:04:09.800 and that really caused a lot of resentment. But anyway, 0:04:09.840 --> 0:04:13.360 the hostility to the FEMA AmeriCorps people grew so great 0:04:13.400 --> 0:04:15.480 that they actually had to take our guys out of 0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:20.320 their uniforms and dress the FEMA people in them so 0:04:20.360 --> 0:04:23.720 they wouldn't be hassled and in some cases actually assaulted. 0:04:25.120 --> 0:04:26.680 They had to hide the fact that they were the 0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:31.279 FEMA affiliated types that didn't come from nowhere. 0:04:31.440 --> 0:04:32.920 I'm from the government and I'm here. 0:04:32.800 --> 0:04:37.600 To help you exactly in Charlotte, political refugee from California Rights, 0:04:38.279 --> 0:04:40.000 I had to tell you about our encounter with FEMA 0:04:40.040 --> 0:04:43.560 in the aftermath of the Joplin, Missouri tornado several years ago. 0:04:44.120 --> 0:04:47.240 I believe that all local state VA insurance companies, FEMA 0:04:47.240 --> 0:04:50.080 and many more were located in the YMCA. 0:04:50.120 --> 0:04:52.160 Of all, FEMA was the least helpful. 0:04:52.640 --> 0:04:55.960 Two representatives dress shirts faces in their phones only to 0:04:56.000 --> 0:04:59.200 tell us go online fill out an application. I understand 0:04:59.200 --> 0:05:01.280 there's a vetting process to make sure you're truly one 0:05:01.279 --> 0:05:03.720 of the victims of the disaster. There are criminal low 0:05:03.760 --> 0:05:07.240 LIFs that take anything they can. But here's what really 0:05:07.240 --> 0:05:09.880 gets my panties in a bunch a vetting process for 0:05:09.960 --> 0:05:13.760 citizens and not illegals. Almost four years of very little 0:05:13.839 --> 0:05:17.120 vetting and given EBT, housing, medical cash, legal aid. The 0:05:17.160 --> 0:05:19.480 list goes on and on, while on the nightly news 0:05:19.560 --> 0:05:22.520 we see total devastation of homes and businesses. So who 0:05:22.560 --> 0:05:30.039 truly helps Samaritans, purse Red Cross, United Way, surrounding communities 0:05:30.080 --> 0:05:33.320 and churches, other states, neighbors, strangers. There needs to be 0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:36.400 a financial accounting of FEMA. Apologies for the long rant, No, 0:05:36.480 --> 0:05:39.920 not at all. I think it's all part of our 0:05:40.320 --> 0:05:46.479 insane practically a cult of deciding the federal government ought 0:05:46.480 --> 0:05:51.680 to be in charge of everything. There is no more bloated, inefficient, 0:05:51.920 --> 0:05:57.080 and unresponsive government entity you could possibly look to than 0:05:57.120 --> 0:06:01.520 the federal government, and yet we look to them for everything. 0:06:02.279 --> 0:06:06.520 What is wrong with us? Maybe they're very happy off 0:06:06.560 --> 0:06:09.039 the board, they're very happy across the board. What a 0:06:09.120 --> 0:06:11.039 dumb thing to say. But his brain doesn't work, so 0:06:11.080 --> 0:06:13.800 it's not Yeah, he can't blame him for that. He 0:06:13.839 --> 0:06:15.680 can blame him for staying in office or his wife 0:06:15.720 --> 0:06:17.080 allowing him to stay in office. 0:06:17.800 --> 0:06:21.520 Yeah, that's an act of treason, it really is, or 0:06:22.120 --> 0:06:24.760 terror over his aging that he can't come to terms with. 0:06:24.880 --> 0:06:27.440 I don't know to wrap that up. That's why we're 0:06:27.440 --> 0:06:30.000 pairing with a local United Way chapter and you can 0:06:30.040 --> 0:06:32.800 go to Armstrong in getty dot com if you want 0:06:32.839 --> 0:06:34.440 to donate there, and we're gonna be talking more about 0:06:34.440 --> 0:06:35.919 that in the coming days and we're hoping to have 0:06:35.960 --> 0:06:40.440 somebody on maybe tomorrow. Complete change of gears here. I 0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:42.680 wanted to get this on this is Have you heard this? 0:06:42.760 --> 0:06:46.080 Did you listen to the Elon Musk Taylor Tucker Carlson thing? 0:06:47.400 --> 0:06:50.440 I don't think so. I'm a big Elon Musk fan, 0:06:50.480 --> 0:06:53.240 as you know if you listen, A big fan of his, 0:06:53.320 --> 0:06:56.000 and a lot of different ways I like now that 0:06:56.160 --> 0:06:58.560 he's gone all in on Trump. I keep seeing him 0:06:58.600 --> 0:07:01.440 referred to as an oligarch. You don't refer to all 0:07:01.480 --> 0:07:04.000 of the you don't. I don't hear anybody refer to 0:07:06.720 --> 0:07:09.800 Soros is an oligarch or what's his name at the 0:07:09.840 --> 0:07:11.800 Washington Post. I can't think of any of these billionaire's 0:07:11.880 --> 0:07:15.920 names as Alwigars or whatever, because they're on the side 0:07:16.120 --> 0:07:18.520 on your side. But Elon Musk, since he's on Trump's, 0:07:18.560 --> 0:07:22.480 it is an oligarch suggesting it's such transparent. I know 0:07:22.760 --> 0:07:28.080 it's just dumb. But Elon I admired on one hand 0:07:28.400 --> 0:07:30.760 the fact that he's got such a powerful position and 0:07:30.880 --> 0:07:33.600 so much sway, but he still he still has no 0:07:33.880 --> 0:07:36.040 f's to give. He just says whatever he wants to 0:07:36.080 --> 0:07:38.080 say all the time, which would be a fun way 0:07:38.120 --> 0:07:39.840 to live your life. Man. I mean, he got all 0:07:39.840 --> 0:07:41.640 the money in the world, you just say whatever you 0:07:41.680 --> 0:07:45.480 want to say. From the standpoint of like accomplishing some 0:07:45.520 --> 0:07:47.280 of the things I think he wants to accomplish. I 0:07:47.320 --> 0:07:50.240 don't think he does himself any good. And I don't 0:07:50.240 --> 0:07:52.280 mean like backing Trump. I just mean some of the 0:07:52.320 --> 0:07:55.240 things he says, like this interview he did with Tucker Carlson, Like, 0:07:55.280 --> 0:07:57.280 for instance, I think, if you want to help Trump, 0:07:57.760 --> 0:07:59.680 don't sit down with Tucker Carlson. I think if you 0:07:59.720 --> 0:08:01.640 want to the most people. But he sat down with 0:08:01.680 --> 0:08:03.960 an interview for Tucker Carlson. I'm going to read this 0:08:04.080 --> 0:08:06.280 first before we play it. See, you kind of have 0:08:06.320 --> 0:08:09.440 an idea of what you're about to hear breaking. This 0:08:09.480 --> 0:08:12.640 is from a Twitter feed. Elon Musk just straight up 0:08:12.680 --> 0:08:16.239 said the reason some billionaires are supporting Kamala is because 0:08:16.240 --> 0:08:19.440 they're terrified that Trump will released the Epstein Island list 0:08:22.120 --> 0:08:24.680 and includes this guy, Reid Hoffman. I don't know his name. 0:08:24.720 --> 0:08:27.080 It kind of gets explained during the clip. And also 0:08:27.280 --> 0:08:29.560 when they refer to Gates, it's Bill Gates for Microsoft. 0:08:29.640 --> 0:08:32.000 Here's Elon tucking to talking to Tucker Carlson. 0:08:32.440 --> 0:08:35.319 You know, I think part of why Kamal is getting 0:08:35.360 --> 0:08:39.839 so much support is that if Trump wins, that fine 0:08:39.880 --> 0:08:42.080 client list is going to become public. Yes, and some 0:08:42.120 --> 0:08:44.720 of those billionaires behind Kamala are terrified of that outcome. 0:08:45.160 --> 0:08:48.120 Yeah. Do you think read Hoffman's uncomfortable. 0:08:47.679 --> 0:08:51.680 Yes at Gates? Yes, read Hoffmin was my vice president 0:08:51.720 --> 0:08:56.800 is development at PayPal? Yeah, twenty four years ago. 0:08:57.480 --> 0:08:58.520 Does he seem nervous to you? 0:08:58.960 --> 0:09:00.760 Yeah, I mean he's terrified of the Trump. 0:09:00.559 --> 0:09:03.360 Victory because of this closure that would follow. Yeah. 0:09:03.360 --> 0:09:07.040 I mean I think it is certainly ideologically not aligned 0:09:07.080 --> 0:09:11.040 with Trump anyway, but I think he is concerned about 0:09:11.040 --> 0:09:13.280 the the Stine situation. 0:09:15.240 --> 0:09:16.960 That's a hack of a thing to come out and 0:09:17.000 --> 0:09:21.680 say about two very prominent, very wealthy men. Yeah, they're 0:09:21.720 --> 0:09:24.360 just doing that because they're afraid the Epstein list that's 0:09:24.400 --> 0:09:26.000 gonna go out. Yeah. 0:09:26.040 --> 0:09:28.520 I let Jack jump in there first, not because I'm polite, 0:09:28.520 --> 0:09:30.120 but because I was speechless. 0:09:34.360 --> 0:09:36.760 Well, wow, things are getting weird. 0:09:36.840 --> 0:09:38.079 They getting weird fast. 0:09:38.080 --> 0:09:41.160 Yeah they are. Why would you say that? I mean, 0:09:41.200 --> 0:09:46.120 why would you say that about your friends, former former associates. 0:09:46.200 --> 0:09:50.600 Yeah, not everybody I've worked with in my life as 0:09:50.760 --> 0:09:55.719 my friend, but uh wow wow, Okay, all right then 0:09:58.480 --> 0:10:02.280 here here, let's let's strip this down. No pun intended 0:10:02.280 --> 0:10:08.320 to the basics, leaving out the underage sex, which is 0:10:08.360 --> 0:10:12.640 the most infamous part of the whole Epstein thing and 0:10:12.800 --> 0:10:14.199 indefensible on any level. 0:10:14.240 --> 0:10:17.720 Now, if you knowingly did that, they you should be executed, right. 0:10:17.679 --> 0:10:20.640 But putting that aside for the moment, because I think 0:10:20.640 --> 0:10:24.040 it's entirely possible that there were people who participated in 0:10:25.440 --> 0:10:28.320 the hijinks who assumed everybody. 0:10:27.920 --> 0:10:34.400 Was of age. Some were looking for teenagers. What's wrong 0:10:34.480 --> 0:10:36.200 with an eighteen and over? A freak cough? 0:10:36.240 --> 0:10:36.400 Now? 0:10:36.400 --> 0:10:40.520 And then when you're released, some stress, thank you, mister Z. Anyway, 0:10:41.000 --> 0:10:44.920 not a bit ditty, not jay z, I get rappers 0:10:44.960 --> 0:10:47.440 mixed up. Wow, Okay, jay Z has lawyers, like lots 0:10:47.440 --> 0:10:50.079 of them. Well, I just admitted my mistake. 0:10:51.000 --> 0:10:54.840 He's a fine, respectable fellow and a great American anyway. 0:10:55.440 --> 0:11:01.280 But so putting aside the underage thing, momentarily, the idea 0:11:01.400 --> 0:11:05.959 that there are guys, there's a group of guys that's 0:11:06.120 --> 0:11:09.440 so rich that they flew off to the one dude's 0:11:09.440 --> 0:11:13.600 private islands and there was all the food, drink, and 0:11:13.760 --> 0:11:16.199 hose you could possibly want. 0:11:16.600 --> 0:11:18.520 Is not a It does not take a stretch of 0:11:18.559 --> 0:11:22.880 the imagination. Wouldn't be the first time that's ever happened 0:11:22.920 --> 0:11:25.760 on planet Earth. I've known guys who are like the 0:11:25.800 --> 0:11:26.280 son of. 0:11:26.240 --> 0:11:28.960 The big car dealer in town who lived that life, 0:11:29.480 --> 0:11:35.840 never mind being a billionaire. And so if I am 0:11:36.160 --> 0:11:41.280 and I'm being charitable here, if I am. 0:11:40.240 --> 0:11:40.720 Say. 0:11:42.000 --> 0:11:47.040 Bead Bepstein, I'm a tech executive and I partied with 0:11:47.120 --> 0:11:52.000 guys like that, and I had no experience with underage girls. 0:11:52.000 --> 0:11:54.400 I had no idea or whatever. But I know I'm 0:11:54.440 --> 0:11:58.679 going to be tarred with that. I am terrified. 0:11:58.960 --> 0:12:04.120 Yeah. Wow, Well that's what Elon says. Elon, who has 0:12:04.160 --> 0:12:10.080 a dozen kids but maybe doesn't live a promiscuous lifestyle. 0:12:12.360 --> 0:12:18.240 He's an odd duck. Euylan's pretty odd all the way around. Yeah, yeah, yes, 0:12:20.600 --> 0:12:23.400 that's quite so sary all right, Yeah, and to just 0:12:23.440 --> 0:12:25.680 come out on Tucker and say that for some reason, 0:12:28.320 --> 0:12:30.880 Oh this is important. Got to get to this coming up, 0:12:31.640 --> 0:12:35.560 what Israel's plan is? In response to Iran, the New 0:12:35.640 --> 0:12:39.800 York Times says they know, oh hello, that's new and 0:12:39.880 --> 0:12:41.400 a bunch of other stuff on the way. Stay here. 0:12:45.040 --> 0:12:47.360 Kamala Harris sat down for an interview with sixty Minutes. 0:12:48.080 --> 0:12:53.600 Do we have a real close ally in Prime Minister 0:12:53.679 --> 0:12:54.480 and Yahoo? 0:12:54.760 --> 0:12:57.679 I think, with all due respect, the better question is 0:12:57.720 --> 0:13:01.839 do we have an important alliance between the American people 0:13:01.960 --> 0:13:03.080 and the Israeli people? 0:13:03.200 --> 0:13:05.280 And the answer to that question is yes. 0:13:05.600 --> 0:13:09.640 Vice President Harris not answering the question about whether or 0:13:09.679 --> 0:13:12.040 not Prime Minister Natanna, who is a close ally of 0:13:12.080 --> 0:13:12.840 the United States. 0:13:14.520 --> 0:13:16.720 Good for Jake Tapper to point that out on CNN. 0:13:16.800 --> 0:13:19.160 Here's something very entertaining. Michael just played for me. This 0:13:19.200 --> 0:13:21.400 is fantastic. You're gonna love this. So this is from 0:13:21.480 --> 0:13:24.880 Greg Guttfeld last night Fox Show at Night. It's a 0:13:24.920 --> 0:13:29.199 you know, comedy based news and the guest you're gonna 0:13:29.200 --> 0:13:34.160 hear on there is Kevin McCarthy, former speaker. Wow, old friend. 0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:37.040 So first you're gonna hear them play a clip from 0:13:37.120 --> 0:13:39.720 Kamala at a rally the other day, and then Greg 0:13:39.760 --> 0:13:43.240 Gutfeld discussing with Kevin McCarthy. 0:13:44.640 --> 0:13:48.040 Kamala's brain breaks down badly today. 0:13:48.040 --> 0:13:50.080 I went up thirty two days and till the election. 0:13:57.640 --> 0:14:03.520 So thirty two days, thirty two days, Okay, we got 0:14:03.520 --> 0:14:05.679 some business to do. We got some business to do, 0:14:06.240 --> 0:14:12.400 all right, thirty two days, and we know we will 0:14:12.440 --> 0:14:12.800 do it. 0:14:13.559 --> 0:14:18.760 Congressman, you've spent time with her. Is she as bad 0:14:19.160 --> 0:14:22.520 behind the scenes and it appears that she's in front 0:14:22.600 --> 0:14:32.200 of the scenes. Yes. Let me put it like this. 0:14:33.320 --> 0:14:35.760 I would go in to negotiate with President Biden and 0:14:35.800 --> 0:14:37.160 he'd only speak from cards. 0:14:37.480 --> 0:14:39.040 Yeah, And she'd. 0:14:38.760 --> 0:14:41.080 Come in and he was still the smartest Democrat in 0:14:41.080 --> 0:14:41.400 the room. 0:14:42.400 --> 0:14:53.200 Oh oh oh, man, I realize he's out of office. 0:14:54.000 --> 0:14:56.160 He's playing to the crowd that's going to love him 0:14:56.160 --> 0:14:58.320 saying that. But that was going pretty far from a 0:14:58.360 --> 0:14:59.560 former Speaker of the House. 0:15:00.160 --> 0:15:03.200 I want to hear everything Kevin McCarthy wants to say 0:15:03.360 --> 0:15:04.920 at this point. 0:15:04.400 --> 0:15:05.800 What he's been through and seen. 0:15:06.120 --> 0:15:11.360 I just bring it to us Kevin unfiltered, Oh my god. 0:15:11.440 --> 0:15:11.760 Can you? 0:15:11.880 --> 0:15:20.400 But again, I'm the danger of it. You've got a 0:15:20.440 --> 0:15:25.160 senile guy and a half wit. The senile guy is 0:15:25.200 --> 0:15:28.600 holding on he's still the president, and the half wit 0:15:28.720 --> 0:15:32.760 may well be the next president. Because our politics is 0:15:32.920 --> 0:15:36.000 so broken. It's all about hanging on to power as 0:15:36.000 --> 0:15:39.920 opposed to generating excellence and candidates. The Democrats could have 0:15:40.040 --> 0:15:44.520 hastily done some sort of primary thing, but they didn't. 0:15:44.720 --> 0:15:47.600 They put the emphasis on what's quick and smooth and 0:15:47.640 --> 0:15:50.200 will help us agree keep our power. 0:15:50.760 --> 0:15:55.920 The idea that well, one that will likely know who 0:15:55.960 --> 0:15:58.360 won on election day is probably wrong. It might take 0:15:58.360 --> 0:16:02.520 a month to figure that out. But the idea that then, okay, 0:16:02.520 --> 0:16:04.640 it's settled, a choice has been made, and we get 0:16:04.640 --> 0:16:07.280 on with our lives. I just bet any either way, 0:16:07.880 --> 0:16:13.800 Trump or Kamala, it's it's gonna be dang it. I 0:16:13.840 --> 0:16:15.480 don't know. I don't know what to do about it. 0:16:16.280 --> 0:16:19.160 But whatever happens on election day, we'll be here for you. 0:16:19.280 --> 0:16:22.600 We are going through a we're going through something as 0:16:22.600 --> 0:16:26.000 a country. Is it a going through something like you know, 0:16:26.080 --> 0:16:27.600 you go through tough times and you come out the 0:16:27.640 --> 0:16:30.000 other side stronger or wiser, or it's just part of life, 0:16:30.440 --> 0:16:32.360 or is it the end? Is this what it's like 0:16:32.400 --> 0:16:34.800 at the end? I don't I don't actually know which 0:16:35.280 --> 0:16:37.800 it's going to be like having a kidney stone on 0:16:37.960 --> 0:16:43.320 death row. I think if you can suffer through this. 0:16:43.600 --> 0:16:49.640 You'll get to the execution. So enjoy everyone. It's an election. 0:16:49.760 --> 0:16:53.400 Phil The New York Times says they know what Iran's 0:16:53.440 --> 0:16:56.240 plan is, our Israel's plan is for Iran, and a 0:16:56.280 --> 0:16:59.840 couple of our biggest allies say they won't help anymore 0:17:00.360 --> 0:17:04.360 if we decide to help Israel, which is interesting. It's 0:17:04.520 --> 0:17:07.120 getting complicated, but luckily we got a super smart guy 0:17:07.160 --> 0:17:09.359 in charge. All that on the way. Stay here if 0:17:09.359 --> 0:17:11.639 you miss an hour, get the podcast Armstrong and Getty 0:17:11.640 --> 0:17:13.919 on the Bend arm Strong and Getty. 0:17:15.440 --> 0:17:18.960 Demonstrations groined and the anniversary of the October seventh attacks, 0:17:19.359 --> 0:17:24.720 especially at Columbia University, pro Palestinian demonstrators, many with faces covered, 0:17:24.800 --> 0:17:27.480 calling for an end to the war. Outside the gates, 0:17:27.520 --> 0:17:30.919 pro Israel demonstrators waved flags and prayed for the hostages. 0:17:31.160 --> 0:17:35.920 Amid heightened security nationwide, universities have been bracing for protests 0:17:36.200 --> 0:17:39.280 at USC and the University of Maryland, you know, more 0:17:39.280 --> 0:17:42.359 than ten thousand anti Semitic incidents in the last year. 0:17:44.400 --> 0:17:48.440 As I said earlier, what's amazing to me is that 0:17:48.600 --> 0:17:52.280 of all the causes in the world, this is the 0:17:52.280 --> 0:17:56.000 one you've decided to dedicate yourself to. As a college kid. 0:17:56.200 --> 0:18:02.080 There's so many, like, really, just clear, you know who 0:18:02.080 --> 0:18:05.359 the bad guy is causes? Why this one? It's got 0:18:05.359 --> 0:18:08.879 to be because you've been so steeped in this weird 0:18:09.359 --> 0:18:12.760 ideology that comes out of colleges. Yeah, I don't. It's 0:18:12.800 --> 0:18:15.400 not like they got to this point and chose it. 0:18:15.760 --> 0:18:21.560 They have been indoctrinated to be concerned about whatever settler, 0:18:21.680 --> 0:18:27.280 colonialist injustice they are pointed toward. Whoever has more power 0:18:27.320 --> 0:18:29.359 is always wrong and can do no right. Whoever has 0:18:29.440 --> 0:18:32.760 less powers always right and can do no wrong. You know, 0:18:32.800 --> 0:18:38.399 there's the neo Marxists theory that these kids have been 0:18:38.440 --> 0:18:46.120 steeved in every society, whether good, just and kind or 0:18:46.520 --> 0:18:52.679 utterly evil and inhumane, attempts to spread their beliefs to 0:18:52.720 --> 0:18:56.800 the children because it's so easy to imprint children, and we, 0:18:57.000 --> 0:18:59.399 under our watch have allowed the evil doers to imprint 0:18:59.440 --> 0:19:01.240 our children these Marxist views. 0:19:01.240 --> 0:19:07.919 It's awful, so I've got a number of pieces of 0:19:07.960 --> 0:19:13.040 information around this topic. I heard a high number of 0:19:13.160 --> 0:19:15.000 Muslims and I didn't catch though, whether it was in 0:19:15.000 --> 0:19:18.080 the United States or worldwide. I assumed it was in 0:19:18.119 --> 0:19:21.040 the United States. Anyway, way too high a chunk of 0:19:21.080 --> 0:19:26.880 Muslims believe that October seventh didn't happen. So that's troubling. 0:19:28.200 --> 0:19:32.600 Got this pole, gallop pole of Americans. Do you think 0:19:32.680 --> 0:19:35.680 that a permanent piece between Israel and Palestine will ever 0:19:35.720 --> 0:19:42.920 be achieved? Two thirds of Americans say never, it will 0:19:42.960 --> 0:19:46.200 never happen. Two thirds of Americans say it will never happen, 0:19:46.640 --> 0:19:53.440 which they're right, You're all right, but it's it's hilarious 0:19:53.480 --> 0:19:56.280 that every administration has to go through the two state 0:19:56.400 --> 0:20:01.800 solution process. We're working on it thing, you know, vast majority, 0:20:02.000 --> 0:20:09.600 I mean, because it's nineteen percent say yes, So it's 0:20:09.640 --> 0:20:11.720 only one out of five people that think it can happen. 0:20:12.840 --> 0:20:15.320 You know, I could answer yes, but it would be 0:20:15.359 --> 0:20:20.320 an intellectual exercise in imagining, you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, 0:20:20.320 --> 0:20:25.120 I do. Extremely unlikely. Another headline yesterday was troubling. France 0:20:25.280 --> 0:20:27.639 and the UK told the United States they will not 0:20:27.840 --> 0:20:31.760 join any attack on Iran and ask Israel not to respond. 0:20:33.760 --> 0:20:37.280 Is that because of business ties with Iran? Financial dealings 0:20:37.280 --> 0:20:40.080 with Iran? Is that what that is all about? Yeah, 0:20:40.160 --> 0:20:41.000 I don't know. 0:20:41.240 --> 0:20:44.480 I mean it maybe partly that a lot of former 0:20:44.720 --> 0:20:54.760 superpowers that are now crumbling social democracies, since they really 0:20:54.760 --> 0:20:59.560 don't have agency anymore, they really can't lead the world 0:20:59.640 --> 0:21:04.360 anymore war, They're desperate to just have everything be okay. 0:21:04.680 --> 0:21:10.080 They're also actual former colonizers unlike the United States, and 0:21:10.520 --> 0:21:13.080 are a lot of their populations don't dig getting involved 0:21:13.080 --> 0:21:15.320 in this stuff, so they get their own domestic politics. 0:21:15.480 --> 0:21:19.199 But anyway, somebody put this quote attached to that article 0:21:19.240 --> 0:21:23.960 from Norman Schwarzkow. Remember him, He ran the Gulf War, 0:21:24.080 --> 0:21:27.560 the first Golf War for the United States. Anyway, his 0:21:27.680 --> 0:21:29.679 quote at the time was because France said they wouldn't 0:21:29.760 --> 0:21:32.159 join us in that going to war without France is 0:21:32.240 --> 0:21:36.600 like going hunting without an accordion. In other words, mood 0:21:36.640 --> 0:21:41.439 needs you, right right? I like this. This is some 0:21:41.600 --> 0:21:43.840 reporting that has been out now for a couple of weeks, 0:21:43.840 --> 0:21:46.680 but this is a little more in depth. Senior US 0:21:46.720 --> 0:21:50.200 officials have now given up on attempting to revive any 0:21:50.359 --> 0:21:53.639 kind of ceasefire deal between Israel and Hesbelah and instead 0:21:53.680 --> 0:21:56.800 of moved towards shaping and limiting the Israeli ground operation 0:21:57.119 --> 0:22:02.080 in southern Lebanon and their retaliation against Iran though conure peace, 0:22:02.200 --> 0:22:05.800 let them win. How do you like that? Though? Concerns 0:22:05.800 --> 0:22:08.320 what the Biden administration are said to be running high, 0:22:08.800 --> 0:22:12.240 as officials believe that the ongoing limited Israeli ground operation 0:22:12.320 --> 0:22:16.000 in southern Lebanon counsume turn into a full scale invasion 0:22:16.280 --> 0:22:19.320 and regional war in which we could quite possibly be 0:22:19.359 --> 0:22:22.400 sucked into. And here's more information from the New York 0:22:22.440 --> 0:22:25.320 Times which is interesting. According to the New York Times, 0:22:25.640 --> 0:22:31.280 Israel's initial retaliatory strike against Iran. This is for last 0:22:31.280 --> 0:22:35.520 week's ballistic missile attack, is expected to likely target military 0:22:35.560 --> 0:22:40.399 bases and sites linked to Iranian intelligence and leadership, with 0:22:40.520 --> 0:22:43.960 strikes against the Iranian nuclear program being reserved for later 0:22:44.560 --> 0:22:48.359 if Iran decides to respond to the initial strikes. Whether 0:22:48.400 --> 0:22:50.400 that's true or not, I don't know, but that's you know, 0:22:51.000 --> 0:22:54.479 people with knowledge on conditions of anonymity to the New 0:22:54.560 --> 0:22:55.240 York Times. 0:22:55.600 --> 0:22:58.440 Yeah, I would be so interested to hear some really 0:22:58.440 --> 0:23:01.080 good analysis of why they're going about it that way. 0:23:01.119 --> 0:23:05.920 I mean, because you've got malign regime in Iran. Their 0:23:05.960 --> 0:23:13.080 weapons are it's ballistic missiles, it's proxies, and then it's 0:23:13.160 --> 0:23:16.520 potential to become a nuclear power. Really that are it's 0:23:16.520 --> 0:23:20.760 only deterrens. Well, the ballistic missiles thing is just not 0:23:20.920 --> 0:23:24.399 nearly as fearsome as it seemed, especially visa the Israel, 0:23:24.520 --> 0:23:28.119 which can knock them out of the sky. Their proxies 0:23:28.160 --> 0:23:31.360 are defeated and humiliated, and Israel is going to keep 0:23:31.400 --> 0:23:33.119 mopping it up. As I said, you want peace, let 0:23:33.200 --> 0:23:38.760 them win, And so to me, I have assumed the 0:23:38.840 --> 0:23:42.320 mullahs in the Revolutionary Guard are desperate to speed up 0:23:42.320 --> 0:23:46.439 the nuclear program because they're otherwise. They're they're weaponless, their 0:23:46.560 --> 0:23:49.800 pants are down in public. They have very little to 0:23:49.800 --> 0:23:51.720 offer as a deterrent, all right, and look at the 0:23:52.240 --> 0:23:55.040 power it gives Russia to do whatever the hell they want. 0:23:56.160 --> 0:24:00.679 So I'm wondering what is the Israeli calculs. Do they 0:24:00.720 --> 0:24:03.320 have doubts about the stability of the Iranian regime. 0:24:03.760 --> 0:24:07.720 I can't imagine why you wouldn't take out that nuclear facility. 0:24:07.800 --> 0:24:10.560 I really, I really don't even understand the argument against it. 0:24:11.119 --> 0:24:13.240 You'll never have a better way too hard to do. 0:24:13.560 --> 0:24:17.000
