Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty arm.
Speaker 2: Strong and Jack Katie. I know he Armstrong and Yetty
Speaker 2: I read that.
Speaker 3: Ahead of the debate, Tim Walls has been nervous that
Speaker 3: he was going to let Kamala Harris down. Harris was like,
Speaker 3: don't worry if Joe Biden could be replaced, so can you.
Speaker 2: He's not a big deal.
Speaker 4: Tim Walls is fighting off in case the nerves ahead
Speaker 4: of his debate with Senator Jady Vanski is said to
Speaker 4: be nervous that you might let Kamala Harris down.
Speaker 5: And we know he did Warren Harris during the vetting process.
Speaker 2: But he's a bad debater.
Speaker 6: Oh okay, that might be louring expectations too much, Tim,
Speaker 6: you want to be more like my opponent is a
Speaker 6: slick talker, not me talk bad disappoint pretty late.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, Tim Wall's uncomfortable in his own skin.
Speaker 1: He is the bald headed Sarah Palin. He did damage
Speaker 1: to the ticket last night. Just vibes. Man vibes. Vibes
Speaker 1: were bad, angry and nervous.
Speaker 5: My take is, I don't think it mattered at all.
Speaker 5: But there is a old old thing. Maybe you've heard
Speaker 5: this before, that the guy who's the guy who ran
Speaker 5: Fox started Fox a Ales Roger Ales. His belief on
Speaker 5: debates was, you don't need to have the sound up.
Speaker 5: You can leave the sound down and tell by looking
Speaker 5: at the TV who won, just by you can just tell.
Speaker 2: And I would say I just because we.
Speaker 5: Got TVs in here and they're just running clips of
Speaker 5: the debate. And based on that measure, jd Vance looks
Speaker 5: like the Winter. He just looks like a confident guy.
Speaker 5: And the other guy looks kind of old. And it's
Speaker 5: even though he's not that old. He's fifty nine, but
Speaker 5: he looks like he's seventy five. He looks like World
Speaker 5: War two generation for some reason. But anyway, he looks
Speaker 5: old and.
Speaker 1: Shaky off the right that he's had too too many
Speaker 1: cups of coffee. And while my co host is a
Speaker 1: lovely fellow, Jack, you're completely wrong. In a election where
Speaker 1: people are desperate for an excuse or reason to vote
Speaker 1: for one candidate or another because nobody's happy with it,
Speaker 1: the one guy came off as extremely bright and self assured,
Speaker 1: and the other guy is a near a crack up,
Speaker 1: and I think that matters in the Swing States.
Speaker 2: But we'll say, I is shocked if anybody remembers in
Speaker 2: five weeks. But we will see, so.
Speaker 1: I thought, But they don't have to remember, That's my point.
Speaker 1: It's a feeling of all right, I think that's a
Speaker 1: better choice for reasons. I can't even put my finger
Speaker 1: on Trump and Vance.
Speaker 5: So once again, the media did their thing, and it
Speaker 5: just it was so annoying to me right off the bat. Oh,
Speaker 5: so you're not going to fact check, but you came
Speaker 5: up with this weird workaround where you throw in an
Speaker 5: extra question for Vance that is a statement of something
Speaker 5: that he has to defend, but you're not going to
Speaker 5: fact check. Okay, that's your work around anyway. So this
Speaker 5: was from Mark Alpern's newsletter this morning. I thought some
Speaker 5: of you might like this. One can pretend is most
Speaker 5: I'm sorry, that's the wrong part. That's funny that I
Speaker 5: read the wrong part. Okay, here we go. It's the
Speaker 5: other one can pretend. One can pretend, as most of
Speaker 5: the dumb up media does, that the performance of the
Speaker 5: CBS News moderators was less outrageously biased than their ABC
Speaker 5: News counterparts, but in their topic selection, tones, selective fact checking,
Speaker 5: and time management. This was another three on one night
Speaker 5: that brought massive dishonor onto a pair of resistance warriors
Speaker 5: who apparently decided to forfeit any claim to treating the
Speaker 5: two sides with anything approaching equality. A further confirmation, as
Speaker 5: if anything were needed at this point, that the dominant
Speaker 5: media feels its highest calling is not journalism, but to
Speaker 5: be part of a collective effort by blue cultural institutions
Speaker 5: to make sure Donald Trump never gets near.
Speaker 2: The Oval office.
Speaker 5: Again, Well said, that's a pretty strong critique from a
Speaker 5: guy who really really goes out of his way to
Speaker 5: be nonpartisan. But it's just because it's true. It's clearly
Speaker 5: what has happened. The dominant media has decided this is
Speaker 5: so important. Our role as journalists is to make sure
Speaker 5: Donald Trump loses.
Speaker 2: So we're all in.
Speaker 5: This together because it's just freaking outrageous. The question choice again,
Speaker 5: the way they handled the time, the fact, all of it.
Speaker 5: It's just it's unbelievable that this that you don't care
Speaker 5: more about the idea of journalism.
Speaker 7: Than that.
Speaker 2: I would agree, it's it's outrageous.
Speaker 1: I'm I'm it's important to talk about because it's so
Speaker 1: important to a republic, but I'm just exhausted by it
Speaker 1: as well.
Speaker 2: But yeah, it was awful last night. Awful.
Speaker 1: It was only a shade better than ABC, and not
Speaker 1: by much either. For example, I thought that it was
Speaker 1: most egregious, most obvious during the immigration portion of the discussion,
Speaker 1: We'll start with the clip number fifty.
Speaker 2: I think it explains itself.
Speaker 4: Your campaign is pledging to carry out the largest mass
Speaker 4: deportation plan in American history, and to use the US military.
Speaker 2: To do so.
Speaker 4: Could you be more specific about exactly how this will work?
Speaker 4: For example, would you deport parents who have entered the
Speaker 4: US illegally and separate them from any of their children
Speaker 4: who were born on US soil.
Speaker 7: You have two minutes, So first of all, Margaret, before
Speaker 7: we talk about deportations, we have to stop the bleeding.
Speaker 7: We have a historic immigration crisis because Kamala Harris started
Speaker 7: and said that she wanted to undo all of Donald
Speaker 7: Trump's border policies ninety four executive orders suspending deportations, decriminalize
Speaker 7: illegal aliens, massively, increasing the asylum fraud that exists in
Speaker 7: our system. That has opened the floodgates, and what it's
Speaker 7: meant is that a lot of fitanol is coming into
Speaker 7: our country. I had a mother who struggled with opioid
Speaker 7: addiction and has gotten clean. I don't want people who
Speaker 7: are struggling with addiction to be deprived of their second chance.
Speaker 7: Because Kamala Harris led in fitanel into our communities at
Speaker 7: record levels. So you've got to stop the bleeding. You've
Speaker 7: got to re implement Donald Trump's border policies, build the wall,
Speaker 7: reimplement deportations.
Speaker 1: And Margaret Brennan actually then followed up repeating the incredibly
Speaker 1: prejudicial and out of nowhere. Yeah, but what about separating
Speaker 1: parents from their children? And Vance said, look, we're going
Speaker 1: to start with the criminals, and then we're going to
Speaker 1: make it harder for people who don't have any right
Speaker 1: to be here to work, and they'll self deport There's
Speaker 1: going to be no tearing of parents away from Where
Speaker 1: the hell did that question come from?
Speaker 5: Well, and immigration is a top two issue, and that
Speaker 5: particular aspect of it is not something most people are
Speaker 5: worried about.
Speaker 2: It's the number of people that are here illegally. What
Speaker 2: are we going to do about it? Oh?
Speaker 1: Yeah, you've got to go far Afield to bring in
Speaker 1: the whole ripping, weeping children from their parents' bosoms angle,
Speaker 1: what the hell? And then they got into the Springfield Oha,
Speaker 1: Iowa rare situation. Oh boy, huh, come and get your
Speaker 1: cat while it's hot, kids. So why don't we go
Speaker 1: ahead and lead up to it. We'll play fifty six
Speaker 1: and fifty seven back to back.
Speaker 7: I think Michael now Governor waltz bro brought up the
Speaker 7: community of Springfield, and he's very worried about the things
Speaker 7: that I've said.
Speaker 2: In Springfield.
Speaker 7: Look in Springfield, Ohio and in communities all across this country.
Speaker 7: You've got schools that are overwhelmed, You've got hospitals that
Speaker 7: are overwhelmed. You have got housing that is totally unaffordable
Speaker 7: because we brought in millions of illegal immigrants to compete
Speaker 7: with Americans for scarce homes.
Speaker 2: The people that I'm most worried.
Speaker 7: About in Springfield, Ohio are the American citizens who have
Speaker 7: had their lives destroyed by Kamala Harris's open border. It
Speaker 7: is a disgraced him, and I actually think I agree
Speaker 7: with you.
Speaker 2: I think you want to solve this problem.
Speaker 7: But I don't think that Kamala Harris does just to clarifice.
Speaker 5: For our viewers.
Speaker 1: Sit here on second, Michael, I'm sorry, you know what,
Speaker 1: and we should have played Waltz's uh floundering attempt to
Speaker 1: hang the dead cat of controversy around around the neck
Speaker 1: of Jade Vance because it was it was a very
Speaker 1: waltzyan uh moment last night where he it was it
Speaker 1: was kind of Trumpian actually in that he didn't explain
Speaker 1: what he was talking about. He just had a couple
Speaker 1: of catchwords and references. And if you've followed this story,
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, oh, he's talking about the cat eating things.
Speaker 1: But it was, it was, it was fractured and floundering,
Speaker 1: and then jd.
Speaker 2: Vance came back with that extremely.
Speaker 5: Wisely did not mention the topic because he probably realized
Speaker 5: a lot of people don't know what he's talking about,
Speaker 5: so I'm not gonna let him know, and he didn't
Speaker 5: make it.
Speaker 2: Clear, so I'm just going to let that go.
Speaker 1: But yeah, he in a way that you know, for
Speaker 1: the millionth time Trump can't do, said no, the real
Speaker 1: issue is the impact of the people, and that he
Speaker 1: went through the schools, in the emergency.
Speaker 2: Rooms and social services. I thought that was.
Speaker 1: Great, But here's another egregious momentary.
Speaker 2: This is not this is not fract checking. I don't know.
Speaker 5: This is just a moderator jumping in with an important
Speaker 5: point to make, just.
Speaker 4: To clarify for our viewers. Springfield, Ohio does have a
Speaker 4: large number of Haitian migrants who have legal status temporary
Speaker 4: protective maura.
Speaker 2: But thank you, senator. We have so much to get
Speaker 2: to Margaret. I think it's important the economy. Thanks Margaret.
Speaker 7: The rules were that you got tore in a fact check,
Speaker 7: and since you're fact checking me, I think it's important
Speaker 7: to say what's actually going on. So there's an application
Speaker 7: called the CBP one app where you can go on
Speaker 7: as an illegal migrant, apply for asylum or apply for
Speaker 7: parole and be granted legal status at the wave of
Speaker 7: a Kamala Harris open border Wand that is not a
Speaker 7: person coming in applying for a green card and waiting
Speaker 7: for ten years. Thank you, the senatoration of a legal
Speaker 7: immigration Margaret bye.
Speaker 4: Thank you senator for describing the legal process.
Speaker 8: Have so much to get the senator the book since
Speaker 8: nineteen ninety.
Speaker 4: Thank you, gentlemen.
Speaker 7: We want to have map has not been on the books,
Speaker 7: and the.
Speaker 4: Gentlemen, the audience can't hear you because your mics are cut.
Speaker 4: We have so much we want to get to thank
Speaker 4: you for explaining the legal process, Nora.
Speaker 2: That was Margaret. That was.
Speaker 1: Margaret Brennan jumping in to help Tim Walls for clearly obviously, and.
Speaker 5: I like, this is being wrong. If you want to
Speaker 5: make your spouse or coworker or whatever really angry, this
Speaker 5: is a good technique I think most people are aware
Speaker 5: of or have been on one end of. You make
Speaker 5: a really strong statement and then say I don't want
Speaker 5: to talk about it anymore. That's a classic of the
Speaker 5: world of arguing. And that's what Margaret Brennan did. She
Speaker 5: jumped in with a really strong statement, misleading spin then said,
Speaker 5: but times up.
Speaker 2: No more. Wait a second.
Speaker 5: You gave yourself time to add to the discussion with
Speaker 5: something that's misleading and then set no more time.
Speaker 1: That's not having vowed that you wouldn't do that at all.
Speaker 5: The great argument again, you want to really you want
Speaker 5: to sleep on the couch or get punched in the face.
Speaker 5: That's a good one. Oh yeah, well your blody body body.
Speaker 5: But I'm not talking about this anymore.
Speaker 2: What right?
Speaker 1: You're a rotten piece of crap. But we could talk
Speaker 1: about this all night, so let's just sleep on it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: thanks you too, ah boy.
Speaker 2: And so obvious.
Speaker 5: But again, I think, I think maybe the bias is
Speaker 5: so deep in these people they don't realize they're doing it.
Speaker 5: They actually, in their minds feel like there's a there's
Speaker 5: a there's a good there's a good side here and
Speaker 5: a bad side here, and there's a there's a side
Speaker 5: of truth and a side of evil, and lying and
Speaker 5: jumping in on the side of good and truth to
Speaker 5: stop the even lying is not is not wrong or
Speaker 5: biased or out of.
Speaker 2: Bounds or anything.
Speaker 5: Let Tim Walls jump in if he wants to correct
Speaker 5: that point. That's that's what a debate is, right right, Well,
Speaker 5: I just think I think their main problem is that
Speaker 5: they can't help themselves. They are such advocates for one
Speaker 5: side of the political spectrum that they hear that JD
Speaker 5: winning the point and Walls sputtering and floundering looking like you'
Speaker 5: said three too many cups of coffee by this point,
Speaker 5: and uh, and she had to jump in.
Speaker 2: And help him. How about her tone? Thanks for explaining
Speaker 2: the law to me.
Speaker 1: Yes, the audience can't hear you because your mics have
Speaker 1: been cut, so thank you for explaining.
Speaker 2: Oh you you.
Speaker 1: You wenches, you you serpents, evil temptresses.
Speaker 5: I think that's when Joe sent the the private text
Speaker 5: with a naughty word about one of the moderator women.
Speaker 1: Look, I'm an anglophile. Brits frequently used that word to
Speaker 1: describe you.
Speaker 2: Don't even hint at it? What what? What says you?
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 1: All right, yes, we got to take a break a
Speaker 1: couple of we can't hear you Jack and Joe because
Speaker 1: your MIC's have been cut.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you're a more. There's a lot to discuss.
Speaker 2: We have.
Speaker 3: Duncan Donuts and has their new fall menu which includes
Speaker 3: a Halloween Munchkins bucket, fifty munchkins in a bucket. Take
Speaker 3: that o zempic. Whether it's donuts or fried chicken. You know,
Speaker 3: a meal is healthy when it's served in a bucket.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 5: I like the idea of America's need for that kind
Speaker 5: of food, fighting back against ozempic.
Speaker 2: It's also against ozempic. I think we can win. That's
Speaker 2: that's funny.
Speaker 1: It's it seems obvious, but what other country has meals
Speaker 1: served in buckets?
Speaker 2: I mean, like we're beasts.
Speaker 5: Well, you don't want the grease to slop out onto
Speaker 5: your pants. Just makes it easier. We're going to get
Speaker 5: into a little bit of what happened in the Middle East.
Speaker 5: As Tom Friedman wrote in The New York Times yesterday,
Speaker 5: it is probably the most consequential moment in the Middle
Speaker 5: East in many, many decades, maybe a half a century.
Speaker 2: It is a big deal.
Speaker 5: It got obscured by the debate because we can only
Speaker 5: focus on one thing at a time, I guess, but
Speaker 5: that was a major attack from morn in. Israel is
Speaker 5: going to hit them back, probably the hardest they've ever
Speaker 5: been hit ever, Probably so, And I need to make
Speaker 5: a very quick correction. The longshoreman union boss, the colorful, profane,
Speaker 5: seventy eight year old I said when he was on
Speaker 5: trial for alleged mob trial of ties that one of
Speaker 5: his co defendants disappeared and was found in a shallow grave.
Speaker 2: I misspoke.
Speaker 1: His co defendant disappeared mid trial and was found in
Speaker 1: the trunk.
Speaker 2: Of a car. Oh.
Speaker 1: Wow, that is a hammer outside a diner in New Jersey.
Speaker 2: Wow, how tony soprano is that? Forget about it? Wow?
Speaker 5: Is the bottom being involved? Wow? Anybody's seen the Larry
Speaker 5: two bits. Anybody said Larry around. No, So the big
Speaker 5: union chiefs on trial and the guy that's gonna testify
Speaker 5: is found.
Speaker 2: In a trunk.
Speaker 5: That is something. Took my son to the orthodonist yesterday.
Speaker 5: He needs Brice's needs. I'll use my finger quotes needs it.
Speaker 5: If you want to have straight teeth, doesn't need it.
Speaker 5: If you just want to live life as a brit
Speaker 5: or anybody else who doesn't care about because you don't
Speaker 5: have to have straight teeth to live your life. Look
Speaker 5: at anybody who's older who didn't live in the era
Speaker 5: of everybody has straight teeth. But you know, it becomes
Speaker 5: a point that I suppose that you don't want to
Speaker 5: be the one outlier doesn't do you any good, even
Speaker 5: though it's going to cost your parents many thousands of
Speaker 5: dollars because insurance doesn't really.
Speaker 2: Cover that much of it, and I'm not sure it
Speaker 2: should since it's not necessary.
Speaker 5: It's it's mostly cosmetic about, right, and you have to
Speaker 5: be a Simpsons fan to get this. But Henry said,
Speaker 5: it's not like I'm going to be like when Lisa
Speaker 5: and they show the picture where your teeth get worse
Speaker 5: and worse and one goes up through her skulp comes
Speaker 5: out her eye exactly.
Speaker 2: That's what they tried to convince you of. Oh that
Speaker 2: too is there.
Speaker 1: It's going to go straight down through the floor of
Speaker 1: their mouth and out their throat.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 5: But the main reason I bring it up is I
Speaker 5: brought it up back in March. I actually know that
Speaker 5: because I looked it up. Remember I complained harshly on
Speaker 5: the air about this guy who tried to upsell me
Speaker 5: in front of my son, and I asked him this, Denis,
Speaker 5: I asked, I said, can we talk about this, you know,
Speaker 5: not in front of the patient. He said, oh, no,
Speaker 5: we always have this conversation in front of the patient.
Speaker 5: I said, well, maybe you do, but I don't want
Speaker 5: to since we're talking about money and comfort and that
Speaker 5: sort of stuff. Anyway, I later found out that they
Speaker 5: are well known up chargers, and it was so obvious
Speaker 5: being at this place last night on a recommendation that
Speaker 5: they don't find it to work hard to get a
Speaker 5: find a dentist that's not into upselling you because there's
Speaker 5: a huge difference in that industry.
Speaker 1: Yeah's alutely true. You find a good one, stick with them.
Speaker 5: Or her, and among the dentists in their industry. They
Speaker 5: know the ones that are good and ones aren't. Some
Speaker 5: of them are like practically crooks, they really are, So
Speaker 5: you gotta watch out for it.
Speaker 2: We're gonna talk Israel coming up and are in armstrong
Speaker 2: and geddy.
Speaker 9: Israel vowing to strike back after that massive Iranian air
Speaker 9: assault over major cities the largest ballistic missile attack on
Speaker 9: Israel ever, a senior US official saying Iron fired more
Speaker 9: than two hundred missiles toward Israel, most of those missiles
Speaker 9: shot down by Israel's triple layer to air defense system
Speaker 9: and some by the US military.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think that most of us, since we're all
Speaker 5: amateurs that following this sort of stuff, we don't make
Speaker 5: a big differentiation in our mind between rockets and missiles.
Speaker 5: And then there's a hundred different kinds of missiles. It's
Speaker 5: like you're saying about drones, we need to come up
Speaker 5: with different terms. Because that twenty dollars toy you got
Speaker 5: your kid for Christmas ten years ago as a drone
Speaker 5: that was something that looks like a fighter jet and
Speaker 5: is equipped like a fighter jet. So and missiles are
Speaker 5: kind of the same way. This is the biggest ballistic
Speaker 5: missile attack. This is a big time missile hypersonic. Iran says,
Speaker 5: I don't know if they actually are. That would be
Speaker 5: you know, the speed that it very hard to detect
Speaker 5: and stop, although these were stopped, but this was a
Speaker 5: major attack.
Speaker 2: And if this is.
Speaker 1: Hugely different than some sort of rocket attack where you
Speaker 1: have small munitions that you aim and hope. These are
Speaker 1: much more sophisticated, much more heavy destructive weapons.
Speaker 5: As I saw it described by one military analyst, if
Speaker 5: one of these had gotten through in the heart of
Speaker 5: Tel Aviv, you could have easily had a thousand people dead,
Speaker 5: which obviously would be the causes Belli if you will,
Speaker 5: to allow Israel to do whatever the hell they want
Speaker 5: at all with Iran, and they still may already have
Speaker 5: that going on.
Speaker 1: I absolutely think they have the right to the idea
Speaker 1: that that they should just endure this sort of gigantic
Speaker 1: attack because they can mostly fend it off and like
Speaker 1: some sort of you know, the geopolitical battered spouse, just
Speaker 1: take the beatings and pray, you know, one doesn't go
Speaker 1: too far. Some days is absurd, it's obscene, and the
Speaker 1: fact that the Biden administration is continually advocating for that
Speaker 1: sort of passivities is just it's it's a morally and
Speaker 1: logistically idiotic and b it's just disgusting.
Speaker 2: Can't I can't believe they advocate it.
Speaker 5: I had another point to make, but my old man
Speaker 5: brain flitted out, where are you talking about?
Speaker 2: Well, I went off on Ran as I tend to
Speaker 2: like a good Ran moral and causes bell So.
Speaker 5: Jared Kushner really wrote a good piece over the weekend
Speaker 5: that we read on the air earlier, which alerted me
Speaker 5: to the fact I didn't fully understand that this. I
Speaker 5: guess all these years, the reason Israel couldn't go after
Speaker 5: a Ran the way they would like to all these
Speaker 5: years because not a lot restraints Israel. They kind of
Speaker 5: do it they want. It's because Hesbel and Hamas were
Speaker 5: right there on their borders. And so man, we get
Speaker 5: into a war with Iran. Iran's way over there. But
Speaker 5: Hesbel is right here and Hamas right here, and if
Speaker 5: they like completely unleash on us at once, we got
Speaker 5: a big problem.
Speaker 2: Well that that's no longer a problem.
Speaker 5: Hamas is ninety percent destroyed are the numbers I'm reading,
Speaker 5: and Hesbel is getting there. So sorry, your attack dog
Speaker 5: is gone. So now it's just Israel and Iran, and
Speaker 5: this is the best chance Israel's had to really go
Speaker 5: after Iran and perhaps destroy that nuclear weapon program. They're
Speaker 5: never going to have a better chance than this, So
Speaker 5: how would you pass that up?
Speaker 2: Anyway?
Speaker 5: This gets to an exchange that I saw on wolf
Speaker 5: Blitzer yesterday on CNN.
Speaker 2: Why am I watching wolf Blitzer on CNN? Is this
Speaker 2: what my life? Is your TV broken or something? Was
Speaker 2: I strapped to a chair I'd been abduct for you
Speaker 2: ahead wolf Blitzer's house. Missus Blitzer had it on, and
Speaker 2: I felt it would be impolite to say, can we
Speaker 2: watch a different show? It'd be really awkward. Can we
Speaker 2: go to find Somehow I was watching wolf Blitzer and.
Speaker 5: They brought up the Secretary General of the UN call
Speaker 5: him for a ceasefire and wanting to de escalate, and
Speaker 5: this representative for Israel it was on.
Speaker 2: There was not having it. Here's how it sounded.
Speaker 1: The United Nations Secretary General Antonio Gutaris today posted this comment.
Speaker 2: Let me read it for you. Listen. This is what
Speaker 2: he said.
Speaker 7: I condemned the broadening of the Middle East conflict with
Speaker 7: escalation after escalation.
Speaker 2: This must stop.
Speaker 1: We absolutely absolutely need a ceasefire.
Speaker 2: I mean, sir, what's your response to him? Shame on him.
Speaker 2: This guy is a clown.
Speaker 10: He's a clown because he cannot even bring himself to
Speaker 10: utter the words I condemned the Islamic Republic of Iran
Speaker 10: for shooting two hundred ballistic missiles on the Jewish state.
Speaker 10: He's condemning the What is the broadening? Have you ever
Speaker 10: met the broadening? I've never seen a broadening walk on
Speaker 10: the street.
Speaker 2: He's a coward. It's time for him to quit.
Speaker 10: The UN is a farce if the United Nations cannot
Speaker 10: stand up and do what's necessary when one country is
Speaker 10: attacked by another.
Speaker 2: We did nothing to Iran, and.
Speaker 10: For the past year they've been making our lives miserable,
Speaker 10: not only ours, of the entire Middle East. And instead
Speaker 10: of standing up for what's right, this coward cannot even
Speaker 10: bring himself to condemn Iran.
Speaker 2: Well, it's time for him to quit.
Speaker 1: Well it's weird to hear's somebody speaking the truth right
Speaker 1: in the modern world, and on this topic in particular,
Speaker 1: I've gotten so used to the mealy mouthed obfiscations the
Speaker 1: Biden administration.
Speaker 5: Oh wow, clarity, No kidding, he's a clown. He should
Speaker 5: step down the broadening. So the statement from the Unsecretary
Speaker 5: General after Aram, since two hundred ballistic missiles at the
Speaker 5: capital of Israel is.
Speaker 2: We condemned the broadening of this conflict.
Speaker 5: No mention of Iran probably shouldn't be shooting ballistic missiles
Speaker 5: at the capital of another country, former capital, depending on
Speaker 5: the capital, financial capital, depending on what you want.
Speaker 2: To call it. But that's unbelievable.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is, It absolutely is. If you have held
Speaker 1: on to a shred of respect for the UN. I
Speaker 1: certainly hope it's gone now.
Speaker 5: That is amazing. Yeah, you're right, that's some plain talk,
Speaker 5: but you don't hear very often.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, well, they don't have the luxury of being
Speaker 1: a fat, happy superpower that's completely lost its way. I'm
Speaker 1: reminded of something I read earlier this seth Cropsy and
Speaker 1: Harry Hallam in the Wall Street Journal opinion section. But
Speaker 1: they were talking about the Masad probably attacks on Hesbola
Speaker 1: with the pagers and the walkie talkies, and then the
Speaker 1: carefully researched, super sophisticated intelligence born missile attacks that took
Speaker 1: out so many more has Bull officers and missile launchers
Speaker 1: and the rest of it. Rather than support its allies
Speaker 1: attempt to deter an enemy and return its people to
Speaker 1: their homes in northern Israel, The US reacted with dismay.
Speaker 1: Secretary of State Anthony BLINCLN warned against escalation and seemed
Speaker 1: to imply that Israel's action could make the process of
Speaker 1: reaching a Gaza ceasefire more difficult, Oh, even derail it.
Speaker 2: Agazza sea Wow, Oh you're still talking about that. Why
Speaker 2: don't we talk.
Speaker 1: About the annexation of Australia or curing the Common Cold
Speaker 1: or something else completely wildly, idiotically unattainable. I'm tired of
Speaker 1: the old one Gazza ceasefire. I'm afraid this targeting of
Speaker 1: the Hesbul operatives might make the Gaza seasfire more difficult. Seriously,
Speaker 1: what color is the sky in your world, Anthony Blincoln,
Speaker 1: Because it's a different one than the one I live in.
Speaker 1: And that plane talking Neftali Bennett, who we just heard
Speaker 1: on CNN lives.
Speaker 5: In and again. I mentioned this earlier, but I thought
Speaker 5: it was striking. I took a ton of stuff on
Speaker 5: this topic yesterday because I I'm obsessed with the geopolitics
Speaker 5: of all this. But I didn't see a single military
Speaker 5: or diplomatic expert who didn't think this was going to escalate,
Speaker 5: that thought Israel won't go really far in a direct
Speaker 5: attack on Iran.
Speaker 2: Not one that said I don't think they will. No,
Speaker 2: they all think they will. That is real will.
Speaker 1: Partly for the reasons I was ranting about, and I
Speaker 1: think we've all had situations in our lives or seen
Speaker 1: them geopolitically where you can take something very bad once
Speaker 1: and you can issue thee. If that happens again, it's
Speaker 1: going to be very very ugly. And then if somebody
Speaker 1: makes that happen again, if you don't bring the ugly,
Speaker 1: it will happen again and again and again. It's practically
Speaker 1: unavoidable at this point that there'd be a broadening of
Speaker 1: the conflict.
Speaker 5: That's why I was so surprised that they, once again,
Speaker 5: the Biden people went with the take the win. Take
Speaker 5: the win, Well, that's what you told us last time
Speaker 5: we took the win. They waited six months and then
Speaker 5: increased their attack. So why would I not think that's
Speaker 5: gonna happen again if I take the win.
Speaker 1: Well, maybe the Biden administration just doesn't want to talk
Speaker 1: about the fact that freeing up those hundreds of millions
Speaker 1: of dollars of irani and cash bought a lot of
Speaker 1: those missiles. Oh no, no, no, that was just for
Speaker 1: humanitarian food and medicine aid.
Speaker 2: Lord, I'm not a child.
Speaker 5: Here's my favorite story before we go to break that
Speaker 5: I came across This was all a lighthearted story that
Speaker 5: I needed after a day of lots of kid stuff
Speaker 5: and running around and stressful day. And then you got
Speaker 5: the debate and you got World War three, maybe breaking out.
Speaker 5: I loved this story. In the New York Times, zoos
Speaker 5: have occasionally attempted to pass off dogs as pandas, and
Speaker 5: they had examples from all around the world, mostly your
Speaker 5: totalitarian countries where you don't dare say, hey, that's no
Speaker 5: panda over there. You end up in the gulage China
Speaker 5: in the lead with various pictures and at various levels
Speaker 5: of doing a good job. I mean some of them.
Speaker 5: You know, you got a chow and you painted a
Speaker 5: certain way. I'm looking at this picture right here. It's
Speaker 5: not it's clearly not a panda, but it's panda ish,
Speaker 5: and you could certainly tell your five year old kid. Oh,
Speaker 5: look there's a panda.
Speaker 2: From a distance, it's kind of behind the bamboo. Oh
Speaker 2: look there it is.
Speaker 1: There, it is.
Speaker 5: But some of them were hilarious. I mean it was
Speaker 5: like a beagle with a black stripe on its back.
Speaker 5: That's not a panda. Oh my god, how funny is that?
Speaker 2: That? That's a thing.
Speaker 1: I love zoo's I always have since I was a
Speaker 1: tiny little kid. We went with our daughter to a
Speaker 1: zoo recently and and she said, I hope you don't mind,
Speaker 1: because she's like I am, She's totally into it. I said,
Speaker 1: you know what if I'm lucky in something, I'm old
Speaker 1: and gray and I gotta be wheeled around, wheel me
Speaker 1: around a zoo.
Speaker 2: I love it.
Speaker 1: Just love looking at the beasts and reading about them.
Speaker 1: And and now one thing they have at zoo's a
Speaker 1: lot is they show you what level of endangered the beast.
Speaker 2: Yea, yeah, I love reading the plaques. And that's elaborate,
Speaker 2: doodle shape to have a maine. I can see. Lions
Speaker 2: don't bark. I don't. I don't understand what's happening here.
Speaker 2: Lion cubs don't have manes, but it's it's what's going
Speaker 2: on there. We got more in the ways.
Speaker 4: We have a lot to get to gentlemen on many topics.
Speaker 2: We just we just went to break you. I shouldn't
Speaker 2: say that.
Speaker 8: So I've become friends with school shooters. Uh what that's
Speaker 8: I've becomes It's an odd circle of friends. Odd people
Speaker 8: are on with.
Speaker 5: Yeah, in context, it's no better. He misspoke, which you
Speaker 5: know happens all the time.
Speaker 1: That's the old coach. In the debate last night, he
Speaker 1: came off as well Sarah Peralin with a bald head.
Speaker 1: I only read this exchange. I didn't hear this one, Governor.
Speaker 8: Well, I've enjoyed tonight's debate, and I think there was
Speaker 8: a lot of commonality here. And I'm sympathetic to misspeaking
Speaker 8: on things. And I think I might have with the
Speaker 8: senator pay too maya one.
Speaker 2: I thought that was good. Yeah, I sympathetic on misspeaking. Yeah,
Speaker 2: me too.
Speaker 1: Man, the civility i'd forgotten or lost, how much I'd
Speaker 1: missed it is so lovely. They had substantive differences and
Speaker 1: then argued vociferously and chucked a couple of grenades. But
Speaker 1: it was gentlemanly.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I've seen a couple of polls.
Speaker 5: I saw some last night and now with a few
Speaker 5: more hours polls where it's it's practically fifty to fifty
Speaker 5: on people's response to who won, which is just the hole.
Speaker 5: The needle stuck. You either like Trump or you don't.
Speaker 5: So that's where we are.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, just crazy.
Speaker 1: Some debate highlights and low lights and analysis coming up
Speaker 1: next hour. Some exchanges were very, very interesting and I
Speaker 1: think significant. And the utterly egregious biased moderation. I mean,
Speaker 1: you can't even call it that. It was immoderate, so
Speaker 1: I hesitate to call it moderation, but to stay tuned
Speaker 1: for that. If you can't stay tuned, grabbed the podcast later.
Speaker 1: I'm strong and getting on demand. Better yet, subscribe or
Speaker 1: follow us so you never miss an episode. The fabulous
Speaker 1: Andrew Styles in the Free Beacon coming through once again. Hesbola,
Speaker 1: the Lebanese terrorist organization funded by Iran, has experienced an
Speaker 1: unprecedented turnover of senior leadership in twenty twenty four, recently
Speaker 1: lost its longtime leader in moral compass Asan Nosrala, to
Speaker 1: an unfortunate workplace mishap, and so they went to the
Speaker 1: Andrew Styles is ostensibly allegedly interviewing their chief recruitment officer. Hello,
Speaker 1: is this Sayid Mustafa? No, my name is Jaffar Faiad.
Speaker 1: I was trying to reach the chief Recruitment office for Hezbola.
Speaker 1: Is that you Yes? I was recently promoted. Oh congrats.
Speaker 1: May I ask what having a Mustafa? We arranged this
Speaker 1: interview with him, but he stopped returning our pages for
Speaker 1: some reason.
Speaker 2: He can't come to the phone right now. Why not?
Speaker 1: He's buried, buried like in paperwork. No, I can assure
Speaker 1: you at this moment. Our recruitment process is incredibly streamlined
Speaker 1: and involves no paperwork. That's great, but I'd feel more
Speaker 1: comfortable the Jews. I beg your pardon.
Speaker 2: That's why said Masof, I can't talk with you today.
Speaker 2: Ali al Salam, I'm sorry to hear that very well.
Speaker 1: I was wondering if you could tell me a little
Speaker 1: bit about your organization and the positions you are seeking
Speaker 1: to fill. And then he goes into a description of Hezbola.
Speaker 1: Can you talk a little more about what you're looking
Speaker 1: for in a perspective Hesbola employee, First and foremost, we're
Speaker 1: looking for people who are alive. It's something that many
Speaker 1: of our older and most senior executives have struggled with
Speaker 1: of late, So that alone will get you in the
Speaker 1: door and moving up the ranks in no time. An
Speaker 1: intense hatred of Jews is preferred, as is proficiency in
Speaker 1: Microsoft Office programs.
Speaker 5: But it's not a deal breaker. You have to hate
Speaker 5: the Jews and be able to do PowerPoint.
Speaker 1: Can you describe some of the challenges facing your organization
Speaker 1: at the moment. We are currently facing a lot of
Speaker 1: Jewish related challenges. Although ironically our media coverage has been
Speaker 1: mostly positive. Brain train, so to speak, has been an issue.
Speaker 2: Wow. Wow, uh, let's see again. I'm sorry this is
Speaker 2: happening to you. What can you tell me.
Speaker 1: About the Hesbolag headquarters? What's it like to work there? Well,
Speaker 1: our headquarters in Beirut is undergoing significant renovations at the moment,
Speaker 1: so we're pleased to offer a flexible work from home
Speaker 1: policy for new and existing employees. We'll do our best
Speaker 1: to sponsor some happy hour office in the near future.
Speaker 2: Oh boy, that's enough of that.
Speaker 1: But that's good stuff and everybody, everybody except the fat
Speaker 1: happy heads of government of the Western Powers, can see
Speaker 1: the truth of the situation. But like France, France is
Speaker 1: being hand and had with Biden. No, we don't want
Speaker 1: to Eskalai. It'd be best if we don't escalate. I
Speaker 1: just don't get it. I understand the Biden administration being
Speaker 1: desperate to get through the election and not have the
Speaker 1: pooh hits the fan, because Trump is famously, for all
Speaker 1: of his faults, a hard ass who doesn't let anybody
Speaker 1: push the US around globally speaking.
Speaker 2: I heard a report today and a half and Harris
Speaker 2: is much much weaker on that score.
Speaker 5: I heard a report today and I haven't figured out
Speaker 5: where it came from yet, that Biden and Netanyahu aren't speaking.
Speaker 5: You heard that, or they haven't spoken in quite a
Speaker 5: few days, Which is kind of interesting that given what's
Speaker 5: going on. David Sanger in the New York Times rights
Speaker 5: that behind the scenes, the White House is advising against
Speaker 5: direct attacks on Iran's nuclear facilities.
Speaker 2: Why in the hell would they not do that?
Speaker 5: I mean, what's the reasoning unless it's the election, like
Speaker 5: you said, or it's a political thing. One thing from
Speaker 5: David Sanger's book, The New Cold Wars that I'm still
Speaker 5: listening to, is you realize so much of the stuff
Speaker 5: you hear is just not true. For a variety of reasons,
Speaker 5: all kinds of differences. They need to keep things secret,
Speaker 5: or it's a domestic politics for the United States or
Speaker 5: somebody else, like a bunch of examples. I just went
Speaker 5: through the chapter about the balloon. Remember when the Chinese
Speaker 5: balloon came across. We knew before it took off. We
Speaker 5: knew their balloon program, We knew where they came from.
Speaker 5: We saw it rise up in the beginning. We wondered
Speaker 5: where it was going, you know, but we acted like
Speaker 5: it just came out of nowhere and didn't know anything
Speaker 5: about it. For a variety all the stuff that we
Speaker 5: said about tanks and Abrams tanks and stuff like that
Speaker 5: was purely for domestic politics in Germany, so they could
Speaker 5: free up their leopard tanks because of their domestic politics.
Speaker 5: So it's just a it's always so much more complicated
Speaker 5: than you realize at the time, and the reporting at
Speaker 5: the time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, hall of mirrors, and further, you know, clouded by
Speaker 1: their diplomatic speak, which is difficult to decipher if you're
Speaker 1: a normal human.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we got a lot more on the way. If
Speaker 5: you miss an hour, get the podcast Armstrong and Getty
Speaker 5: on demand.
