00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 1: The President talking up his big beautiful bill today.

6
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:33,160
Speaker 3: Will deliver a record tax cut, a record spending cut,

7
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,239
Speaker 3: a record investment in border security.

8
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 1: And revealing a new trade deal with China, although with

9
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:40,479
Speaker 1: very few specifics.

10
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 3: We just signed with China yesterday, right, just signed with

11
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:47,240
Speaker 3: China in the China Deal. We're starting to open up China.

12
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:49,880
Speaker 3: Things that never really could have happened.

13
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 4: I remember when the summer was kind of slow news

14
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 4: wise back in the day.

15
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 2: It sure isn't anymore.

16
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 4: So much going on, so much talk about with Congressman

17
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 4: Tom McClintock of the fifth District of California, longtime friend

18
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 4: of the Armstrong and Getty Show. Tom, how are you, sir?

19
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 5: I'm doing fine. You're right. They've been busy little bees

20
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 5: around here.

21
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, And we will get to that in a minute.

22
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 4: I thought you might be interested to know what just

23
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 4: wrapped up A great conversation with Tim Sanderfer of the

24
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:24,320
Speaker 4: Goldwater Institute about Independence Day since we're off next week,

25
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 4: and the Declaration of Independence and in its role in

26
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 4: the nation's history and ethics and the rest of it.

27
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 4: And as you are one of the great lovers of

28
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 4: liberty I've ever met in politics are out. When you

29
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 4: think about the Declaration of Independence, what do you think about?

30
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 2: What comes to mind?

31
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 5: Well, there's this revolutionary concept that there are certain rights

32
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 5: that don't.

33
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 2: Come to us from government.

34
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 5: They come to us from what the founders call the

35
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 5: laws of nature, and of Nature's God, God creates these rights.

36
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 5: We create governments to protect these rights, and that's their

37
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:01,279
Speaker 5: only legitimate function.

38
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, I expressed to Tim, I've come to the belief

39
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 4: that the idea of liberty is just kind of background noise.

40
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 4: It's almost like wallpaper in the American scene these days,

41
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 4: and people think that the role of government is to

42
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 4: be well, is to do things for us and give

43
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 4: things to us, and liberty needs to be an ever

44
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 4: present word, I think, or idea as we're discussing the

45
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 4: politics of our time, and I think that's been lost,

46
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 4: particularly among young people.

47
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 5: Well, if you want to know the entire history of

48
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 5: human civilization and four words, it's freedom, works, socialism, sucks,

49
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:42,640
Speaker 5: you know. And I talk to young people all the time,

50
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 5: who's a whole well Socialism that's sharing and taking care

51
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:50,359
Speaker 5: of one another, and capitalism that's just doggy dog lookout

52
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 5: for yourself.

53
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:52,639
Speaker 2: And I try to explain.

54
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 5: To them, you've got it exactly backwards. The only possible

55
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:01,919
Speaker 5: way to prosper and secces feed in a capitalist system

56
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 5: is you've got to figure out what somebody else needs

57
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 5: and how to get it for them better than they

58
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 5: can get it for themselves. There's no other way. It

59
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:11,919
Speaker 5: might be mowing their lawn, it might be doing brain

60
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,920
Speaker 5: surgery on their child, whatever it is, you've got to

61
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 5: help your neighbor if you're going to succeed and prosper.

62
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 5: Socialism is taking from one person what they've earned by

63
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 5: helping their neighbor and giving it to somebody who hasn't.

64
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 2: And it's true.

65
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 5: If I take a dollar from Peter and give it

66
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 5: to Paul, Paul's got an extra dollar to spend, Paul's

67
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 5: a happy man. Peter's got one less dollar to spend,

68
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 5: So you haven't helped the economy at all. But what

69
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 5: you've really done is you've robbed from both of them.

70
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 5: A dollar's worth of incentive to help each other, Paul

71
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 5: because he no longer needs to, and Peter because he

72
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 5: no longer profits from it. And that's why socialism always

73
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 5: dissolves the bonds that hold a society together and ultimately

74
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 5: requires lots and lots of government force because you've got

75
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 5: to force people to act against their own interests.

76
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 4: All right, You've removed the incentives the reward, so all

77
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 4: that remains is the punishments. And I love your illustration

78
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 4: of capitalism too. Are the free market, as I prefer

79
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 4: to phrase it, because I've got to do whatever I'm

80
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 4: doing to your satisfaction to profit from it.

81
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 5: It's an entirely voluntary arrangement. Whereas socialism you've got to

82
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 5: apply enormous amounts of force.

83
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 2: And that's why.

84
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 5: Socialist socialism dissolves first of all, the bonds that hold

85
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 5: the society together, creates enormous misery and deprivation, and ultimately

86
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 5: has to be enforced at the point of a bayonet.

87
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 4: Right, which is why I'm so astounded by the perhaps

88
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 4: probable election of this Zorondabi character in.

89
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:52,119
Speaker 2: New York City.

90
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 4: The idea that you could run rent control up the

91
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:59,479
Speaker 4: flagpole and anyone would salute. We just we need to

92
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 4: do a better job, speaking of America's young people, of

93
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 4: teaching the basic economics.

94
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 2: If you choke off the supply of something.

95
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,720
Speaker 4: If you remove the incentives for supplying it, you don't

96
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 4: get more of it, for instance, rental properties.

97
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 5: Well, and I think young people are figuring it out.

98
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 5: You're seeing that in all the polling data. Now, this

99
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 5: young generation is turning into the most conservative generation we've

100
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 5: had since the days of Ronald Reagan.

101
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 2: And if you recall, Ronald.

102
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:28,720
Speaker 5: Reagan's success was driven by the youngest voters in the electorate.

103
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 5: They understood their futures were at stake, and they spend

104
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 5: a lot of time figuring things out, connecting the dots

105
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,479
Speaker 5: and starting to make very good decisions. That's what democracies

106
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 5: are all about. In normal times, they may go haywire,

107
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 5: but when things get tough, people start putting all of

108
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 5: their attention into their decisions. They start making very good decisions,

109
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 5: and they set things right. And I think that's what

110
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 5: happened across America in twenty twenty four. I think it's

111
00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:00,159
Speaker 5: one of the great realigning elections of American history. New

112
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:04,160
Speaker 5: York is obviously an aberration and frankly, I've developed this

113
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 5: morbid curiosity to see just how completely they can destroy

114
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 5: a city, and I think they've just got the guy

115
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:10,719
Speaker 5: to do it.

116
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 4: That may be the only way to cure people of

117
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 4: their illusion that this stuff actually works. Maybe you have

118
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 4: to hit bottom like a drunk. Anyway, in my introduction

119
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 4: to Tom, i'd meant to mention that the congressman was

120
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 4: voted the best vote for taxpayers two years in a

121
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,719
Speaker 4: row in the House of Representative Citizens against Government Waste

122
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,919
Speaker 4: recently named Tom McClintock one of only two perfect votes

123
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:36,840
Speaker 4: in the House fighting wasteful government spending. And in that spirit, sir,

124
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 4: as you keep an eye on the so called big

125
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 4: beautiful bill getting kicked around now in the Senate. What's

126
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 4: your perception of where we are and how optimistic are

127
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,040
Speaker 4: you that we will birth something worth having.

128
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,280
Speaker 5: Well, it's going to pass because it absolutely has to

129
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 5: pass without it, and average families taxes are going to

130
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 5: rise twenty two percent next year. That's about seventeen hundred

131
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,840
Speaker 5: dollars a year, and additional taxes that'll make it the

132
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 5: biggest tax increase in American history. That's already on the books.

133
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:09,479
Speaker 5: This bill stops that tax increase from taking effect, and

134
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 5: at the same time it removes taxes on tips, and

135
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 5: over time it increases the standard deduction for seniors to

136
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 5: protect their Social Security earnings. So that by itself makes

137
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 5: it absolutely imperative that it passed. But it does a

138
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 5: lot of other very good things too. I could go

139
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:32,239
Speaker 5: you know, through the list, among them increasing the border

140
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 5: patrol and securing the repatriation of the millions of illegal

141
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 5: aliens that the Biden administration led into this country, you know,

142
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 5: unleashing America's vast energy resources. But most importantly it comes

143
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 5: down to this. The only economic indicator that really matters

144
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 5: is how people answer this question next year. Are you

145
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 5: better off to day than you were two years ago.

146
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 5: You can't spend the answer to that question. Every person

147
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 5: in their own lives how they're doing. If we can

148
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 5: get this bill into effect this summer, it'll have a

149
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 5: full year to work before people will be called upon

150
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 5: to ask that question in the next election. And that's

151
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 5: why it's going to pass, because it has to well.

152
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 4: And a third reference to America's young people. I think

153
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 4: there could be no more important issue than breaking the

154
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 4: choke hold that the teachers' unions have on our government

155
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 4: schools through competition and innovation. And I know there's some

156
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 4: really inspiring or interesting things in the bill pushing school choice,

157
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 4: So I was glad to hear about that.

158
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 5: Well and well an Aeriel Durant wrote in their history Civilization,

159
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 5: what may support a good car Chevrolet competition? You want

160
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 5: to improve the public schools, restore competition, Allow parents the

161
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 5: means and the freedom to make their own decision on

162
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 5: the school that best meets their own child's needs, and

163
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 5: you will see a huge improvement in the public and

164
00:08:58,840 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 5: private schools.

165
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 4: Congressman Tom McClintock is on the line, I couldn't agree more. Hey,

166
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 4: in the time, we have left your reaction to a

167
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 4: couple of geopolitical happenings, the stunning Israeli raid on Iran

168
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:16,679
Speaker 4: and the US's role in helping out what do you

169
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 4: make of all that?

170
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 5: Well, I mean, without divulsion classified information, I think I

171
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 5: can safely say that that if you've ever seen the

172
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 5: film classic Bambi meets Godzilla, sort of.

173
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 4: Like that, the efficiency and skill of not only the

174
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:38,199
Speaker 4: United States fighting forces but our allies in Israel are

175
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 4: just awesome to behold.

176
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, and they did a splendid job. I mean, Israeli intelligence,

177
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 5: the UN, the Iran Foreign minister all agree that the

178
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 5: Iranian nuclear capability has been, in President Trump's word, obliterated.

179
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,680
Speaker 5: You know, the only people are saying otherwise are the

180
00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 5: Supreme Mola of Iran and a CNN rep order. But

181
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:04,559
Speaker 5: you know, ultimately, anything can be destroyed can be rebuilt.

182
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 5: The Iranian regimes made it clear that it intends to

183
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 5: acquire nuclear weapons and once acquired, to use them first

184
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:15,439
Speaker 5: against Israel, then against US. And until they acquire that ability,

185
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 5: they're still going to be the prime sponsor of terrorism

186
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 5: around the world. I mean, they fund and direct the

187
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 5: hoodies hezbe Lajamas, and there's no reason to believe they're

188
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 5: going to stop. The good news is that regime is

189
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,319
Speaker 5: like a rotting porch. It is just waiting to collapse.

190
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,560
Speaker 5: They've oppressed the Iranian people for decades. There is a

191
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 5: very strong resistance movement there and in the Iranian diaspora abroad.

192
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 5: And the problem was every time it was on the

193
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 5: verge of revolution, the Obama and Biden administration stepped in.

194
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 5: They sent the cargo pallets of cash to the moulahs.

195
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 5: They relaxed the sanctions. That's not going to happen under Trump.

196
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 5: So I think ultimately the only way to permanently resolve

197
00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 5: this danger short of a bloody war is to bring

198
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 5: matt regime crashing down from within.

199
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 2: And maybe now is the time.

200
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 5: To start assisting the opposition groups in any way that

201
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:07,960
Speaker 5: we can well.

202
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:11,560
Speaker 4: And it's just great to see deterrence back on the

203
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:15,960
Speaker 4: scene because serious deterrence leads to peace. Congressman Tom McLintock

204
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 4: of the fifth District of California, Congressman, is always a pleasure.

205
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 2: Thanks. Happy Independence Day to you and yours and we'll

206
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:25,959
Speaker 2: talk again soon. Thanks Joe, great talking to you. Likewise.

207
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 4: Clips of the week coming up in a moment or two,

208
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:30,559
Speaker 4: and then a report from Jack in Sunny Florida.

209
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 2: Stay with us.

210
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 4: Tower grows hungrier with the eating. It's one of those

211
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 4: principles that we have either forgotten or just been duped

212
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 4: out of ignoring in the modern day, the fantasy that

213
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 4: government will just give us everything we need and that

214
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 4: there isn't any cost for it. And I don't just

215
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 4: mean literally the cost in tax dollars and confiscations and

216
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,120
Speaker 4: the rest of it, but that it won't be in

217
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 4: love with its own power and metastasize, because it always

218
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 4: does and every example through human history, but we as

219
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 4: humans somehow lose that reality.

220
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 2: Anyway.

221
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 4: Happy Independence Day a week early to you and yours.

222
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 4: Jackie is going to be weighing in from Florida in

223
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 4: a couple of minutes where he is on vacation. Lovely

224
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 4: of him to join us in enjoying the conversations with

225
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 4: Tim Sandford and Tom McClintock and all sorts of people

226
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 4: about the declaration and the US and freedom and the

227
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 4: rest of it.

228
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 2: Hope you've enjoyed.

229
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 4: It too, if you're just joining us, grab the podcast

230
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 4: Armstrong and Getty on demand. All right, So we had

231
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 4: to put it off to accommodate the congressman schedule. But

232
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 4: it's time for the Friday tradition. Let's take fun look

233
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 4: back at the week that was. It's cow clips of

234
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:38,840
Speaker 4: the week.

235
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 3: That place was demolished, totally obliterated, obliterated, obliterated, obliteration.

236
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 2: Whips of the week.

237
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 6: Mam bom bom bomber.

238
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 7: US Central Command executed Operation Midnight Hammer.

239
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 8: Started with the decoy group of two B two bombers

240
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 8: heading west towards Guam.

241
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 2: From one world was looking the other way. Seven will

242
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 2: be twos taking off directly towards Iran.

243
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:16,080
Speaker 7: With a total of fourteen mops dropped against two nuclear

244
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 7: target areas.

245
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 2: This is not a game playing president. When he says

246
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:21,839
Speaker 2: he's going to do something, he will do it.

247
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 4: The President obliterated the Iranian nuclear program.

248
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,679
Speaker 2: Iran's response came in the form of a missile strike.

249
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:32,680
Speaker 2: They don't know what the fuck they're doing.

250
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 6: You understand that questions remain about the fate of Iran's

251
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 6: enriched uranium.

252
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 8: Everything underneath that mountain is in bad shape.

253
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 9: At least two of the Iranian nuclear facilities targeted were

254
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 9: not completely destroyed.

255
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 5: But I think CNN is a gut lists group of people.

256
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 2: I know that better than you know that, and I

257
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 2: know that that's not the case. But I'm not see

258
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 2: whether the order was given, and the people say that

259
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 2: it doesn't matter the order was given. They have everything

260
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:04,439
Speaker 2: they need to build nuclear weapons.

261
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 10: If you want to make an assessment of what happened

262
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 10: at four doh, you better get a big shovel and

263
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 10: go really deep.

264
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,680
Speaker 2: If I'm the president, we will attack iron. We would

265
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,440
Speaker 2: be able to totally obliterate.

266
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 3: Them, totally obliterated, obliterated, obliterated.

267
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 2: It was called obliteration.

268
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 4: On all midnight Hammer clips of the Week. We might

269
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 4: play the fun one later on in the hour, because

270
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 4: we have an alternate Clips of the week that Hansen

271
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 4: is prepared for US. I was reading about a great

272
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 4: piece written by Credit where it's due Dove Lieber inside

273
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 4: Operation Narnia, the Daring attack. Israel feared it couldn't pull off,

274
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 4: and my gosh, it's compelling. At midnight on June thirteenth,

275
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 4: Israel's general's gathered in a bunker beneath Israel Air Force

276
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 4: Headquarters Israeli Air Force Headquarters and watched his jets descended

277
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 4: on Tehran in an operation they called Red Wedding. Ooh,

278
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 4: anybody familiar with the Game of Thrones gets that reference.

279
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 4: Hours later, in one thousand miles away, Iran's top military

280
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 4: commanders were dead, a mass killing much like the famous

281
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 4: wedding scene from the show Game of Thrones. The combination

282
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 4: of intelligence, information, military precision that enabled the attack surprised

283
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 4: people around the world, but it wasn't the only improbable success.

284
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 2: At the outset of the twelve day campaign.

285
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 4: Another key part of the initial attack considered so fantastical

286
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 4: even by its planners, that it was called Operation Narnia

287
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 4: after the fictional C. S.

288
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 2: Lewis series.

289
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 4: It successfully killed nine top Iranian nuclear scientists almost simultaneously

290
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 4: at their homes in Tehran, the key being that pulling

291
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:59,359
Speaker 4: off the attacks, which required elaborate ruses to ensure surprise

292
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,479
Speaker 4: at the last moment they nearly fell apart.

293
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 2: But the point being both the scientists and.

294
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 4: The generals, it had to be carefully coordinated, because you know,

295
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 4: the regime is sensitive to the fact that Israel was

296
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 4: on high alert and maybe coming for them the US

297
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 4: as well, And if one general got it, everybody else

298
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 4: would have gone to ground, and if one scientist got it,

299
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 4: all the rest would have vanished into the woodwork.

300
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 2: So it all had to happen.

301
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 4: A thousand miles away, nearly simultaneously. And you know, part

302
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 4: of the untold story, well untold till now, is that

303
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 4: Israel's been conducting drills to get the skills down to

304
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 4: do this in very innocent seeming ways, flying large groups

305
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 4: of aircraft to Greece and refueling them over and over

306
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 4: again on the way without landing, in a way that

307
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 4: seemed odd to people, but they've been working on this

308
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 4: for years and years and pulled it off off against

309
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 4: all odds, and at least for now, the Mullahs don't

310
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 4: have nukes. That story will be ongoing, obviously, much more

311
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:08,680
Speaker 4: to come.

312
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 2: Stay with us, Armstrong and Geddy. A couple more segments

313
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:14,639
Speaker 2: to go.

314
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,680
Speaker 4: We're going to finish Strong if we possibly can, including

315
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:20,399
Speaker 4: with this special guest appearance by the co host of

316
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:22,640
Speaker 4: the show, mister Jack Armstrong.

317
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,879
Speaker 2: Jack, where are you now? I took my talents to

318
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 2: South Beach.

319
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:31,880
Speaker 4: Way to go? So first question, you're there in Florida.

320
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 4: Is anybody alive? Because I remember they are calling Ron

321
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:36,920
Speaker 4: de Santis ron death sentence during COVID.

322
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:41,359
Speaker 2: Are there any Floridians? Yes, they seem to be alive

323
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,200
Speaker 2: and scantily clad. Katie.

324
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:47,919
Speaker 9: Maybe Katie can explain this. Why are bikinis so expensive

325
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:51,400
Speaker 9: since they're so little material involved, especially in the modern era.

326
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:53,639
Speaker 10: Please figure that out for me, because I don't know.

327
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:58,359
Speaker 9: Good Lord, So I have two teenage boys. We're on

328
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 9: the beach in South Beach and they're both playing it cool.

329
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:01,720
Speaker 5: But I.

330
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 2: Wouldn't. I wouldn't.

331
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 9: I don't know that i'd want to be a fifteen

332
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 9: year old boy in this environment. It would be a distracting,

333
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 9: torturous I.

334
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 2: Would guess, Oh my god.

335
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 9: And I was talking to somebody before I came here,

336
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 9: and they said, man, you gotta really be careful to

337
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 9: not end up because I was explaining to my younger

338
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:28,159
Speaker 9: Henry associates like scantily clad with a with danger for

339
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 9: some reason, like you're in a dangerous neighborhood if you're

340
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 9: seeing scantily clad people.

341
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 2: And I was talking to somebody about that and they said, Oh.

342
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:36,439
Speaker 9: It's very easy to end up on a beach where

343
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:39,399
Speaker 9: you know it's topless hearing to see a lot of nudity,

344
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 9: and he will freak out if he sees that.

345
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 2: So I'm trying to try to avoid that. Wow, that's interesting.

346
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 4: I would never think of that as a concern on

347
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:51,200
Speaker 4: a trip to Florida.

348
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:55,680
Speaker 2: But there you are so much nudity. How hot is it?

349
00:18:55,680 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 2: It's freaking hot? Oh my god, Mooie Colliente. So I

350
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 2: got here last night. This is kind of funny. So

351
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:03,640
Speaker 2: I'm staying at one of those.

352
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:05,919
Speaker 9: If you've ever seen pictures of South Beach, Miami, the

353
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:10,359
Speaker 9: colorful art deco hotels that are like in every postcard,

354
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 9: we're staying in one of those. And we, because of

355
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 9: Southwest weirdness, we got here like two and a half

356
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 9: hours later than we were supposed to, of course, sitting

357
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 9: on the tarmac for an hour fifteen in Houston for

358
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 9: no explanation whatsoever, and just that sort of thing. But

359
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 9: so we get to the hotel and we get dropped

360
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 9: off at one am and the doors open.

361
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 2: We walk in.

362
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 9: There's nobody at the front desk and there's like no

363
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 9: bell to ring or anything. And I thought, oh, you know, fine,

364
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:38,920
Speaker 9: they're in the bathroom wherever. So we wait and we wait,

365
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 9: and like a half hour goes by and I call

366
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 9: the number and the phone rings there right in front

367
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:43,160
Speaker 9: of me, and.

368
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 2: Anyway pick up answer.

369
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:49,680
Speaker 9: Two hours of a waiting from one am to three

370
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,680
Speaker 9: am with nobody around, we eventually walked down the street

371
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:54,920
Speaker 9: and got some pizza because we were starving, and there

372
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 9: was nobody there.

373
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 2: And I mean the bar was there.

374
00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:59,119
Speaker 9: I could have walked into the bar and poured myself

375
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 9: a top shelf drain if I wanted to. I could

376
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 9: have stolen many many things, and there was just nobody there.

377
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 9: It was so strange.

378
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 2: Boy, it's not like you're.

379
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:12,920
Speaker 4: In some sort of village in northwestern Norway or somebody.

380
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:14,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, right right.

381
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 9: I wasn't visiting Greenland. I was in South Beach, Miami,

382
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 9: and I mean there's people everywhere, and the bars are.

383
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 2: Thumping and all that sort of stuff.

384
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 9: Anyway, so I went next door to a hotel and

385
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:26,240
Speaker 9: had even though I'd already paid for three rooms at

386
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:28,120
Speaker 9: this one, I went next door and got a couple

387
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 9: of rooms just because we needed somewhere to sleep.

388
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 2: That it was now, that was three am, and I

389
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 2: got a street. Not today.

390
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 9: I took some video, some funny videos though, that I

391
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 9: showed to the manager today, and somebody's getting fired. They

392
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 9: even left their keys sitting on the desk, like the

393
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 9: I'm the janitor keys with like eight thousand keys on it,

394
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 9: and all the keys were labeled like bar, you know,

395
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 9: a master key for the rooms, you.

396
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 2: Know, all the different stuff, and they just left it there.

397
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:54,680
Speaker 9: Whoever it was, I don't know if they passed out

398
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 9: or had a hook up in one of the rooms

399
00:20:56,160 --> 00:21:00,639
Speaker 9: what happened, But wow, good gracious, Okay, I could have

400
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 9: made I could have made quite the reality show video

401
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 9: out of that if I had been willing to break

402
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:10,159
Speaker 9: the law. Just gone into the bar and you know,

403
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 9: go room to room, Jess, good night. How are you

404
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:17,439
Speaker 9: doing in there? Yeah, get in. Everybody's sleeping. Okay, great,

405
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:19,359
Speaker 9: I'm the manager. Enjoy your stay.

406
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,160
Speaker 2: Freak like I was worrying. It's right.

407
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 9: Anybody need a foot rub or anything? Okay, it gets stabbed.

408
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 9: It is so freaking hot here though. If you're not

409
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 9: used to humidity, like I'm not, it's just absolutely ridiculous.

410
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 7: Yeah.

411
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 4: Well, Judy and I were hunting to figure out where

412
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:39,399
Speaker 4: are you know, semi golden years pad would be, and

413
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,640
Speaker 4: we're focused on South Carolina and where we ended up

414
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:45,440
Speaker 4: and uh and and somebody said to us, well, it's

415
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:49,639
Speaker 4: really hot, but it's not Florida hot. And I thought,

416
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 4: good god, there's like a whole nother gradation.

417
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:56,159
Speaker 9: You know, what I'm noticing is how I explained this

418
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 9: to the kids, because we just we just ate the

419
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 9: whole Cuban Hispanic culture is so much different than the

420
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:06,119
Speaker 9: I'm from Mexico's Hispanic culture. It's just different. It's just

421
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:08,439
Speaker 9: like a different well it's a different culture. It's like

422
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 9: and I suppose that's obvious, but you know, you think

423
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:17,880
Speaker 9: Spanish and often the people together. But the Marco Rubio

424
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:21,440
Speaker 9: Hispanic crowd is much different than the you know, California

425
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 9: Hispanic crowd in all kinds of different ways that I'll

426
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 9: talk about when when we come back. Here's the coolest

427
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 9: thing that's happened to me today that doesn't really even

428
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 9: have anything to do with my vacation.

429
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 2: It's more about AI and chat GPT.

430
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:35,359
Speaker 9: So I could not figure out an espresso machine in

431
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 9: the room, and like, I need coffee or I'm going

432
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:40,399
Speaker 9: to pull somebody's head off, you know. And it was

433
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:42,880
Speaker 9: a new kind of an espresso machine that I'd never

434
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 9: seen before, and just I couldn't get it to work.

435
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:48,440
Speaker 9: I took a picture of it on my phone, pressed

436
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 9: one button and said, how do you make this thing work?

437
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 2: It went to chat GPT and it came.

438
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 9: Back and so do you press that button to the

439
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,200
Speaker 9: left and that other one after it blink and it

440
00:22:57,359 --> 00:22:59,199
Speaker 9: just it looked at it, figured out what it was,

441
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:02,359
Speaker 9: got thet ructions and told me, how awesome is that?

442
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:03,919
Speaker 4: Wow?

443
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 2: That is great? We did Jack.

444
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 4: Perhaps you can listen to the podcast. Armstrong and Getty

445
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,200
Speaker 4: on Demand did a little ab with an article about

446
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:17,119
Speaker 4: a galoo was using AI as her career counselor, and

447
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 4: how incredibly great it was in ways that I won't redescribe.

448
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 4: But and then the b was an article about how,

449
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:27,680
Speaker 4: with very few tweaks it could give you some really

450
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 4: fine ideas for wiping out the Jews or wiping out

451
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 4: white people, or a backdoor portal into the White House

452
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:40,400
Speaker 4: it system or whatever just turned evil at the drop

453
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:40,880
Speaker 4: of a hat.

454
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 9: So yeah, I'm sure how to make a bomb out

455
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 9: of crockpot if you wanted to, or something like that.

456
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 2: Oh boobs, I see him right over there. Boobs, hair

457
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 2: boobscar boobs. There are bear boobs here. Sam's head is

458
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 2: going to pop off.

459
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 9: When I was a fifteen year old high school boy,

460
00:23:56,320 --> 00:24:00,399
Speaker 9: I never saw anything like this before. Oh my got

461
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:03,119
Speaker 9: he is going to be He's going to be texting

462
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:05,400
Speaker 9: his friends on the download.

463
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:09,119
Speaker 2: Dudes, you can't believe this. Free the nipple?

464
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:13,159
Speaker 9: What is it, hey, Katie? What is the appeal of

465
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:16,199
Speaker 9: a topless beach? Is it tanlines? Is it like feminism?

466
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:16,719
Speaker 2: What is it?

467
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:17,439
Speaker 1: Uh?

468
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 10: Probably a mixture of both. The tanlines can get really

469
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 10: tacky if you get dark.

470
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 2: So does it make you feel wild or like seen?

471
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:29,399
Speaker 2: Or I just I.

472
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 10: Don't even understand, I've never gone to a topless beach,

473
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:35,359
Speaker 10: so I don't know what they are feeling in that

474
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 10: exact moment. I would assume they feel quite free. I'll

475
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 10: go ask her a nice.

476
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 2: Breeze do it? Do it compliment? Or two? You look

477
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:46,679
Speaker 2: very fit? Do you work out?

478
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 10: Oh? My god, I just help here and tell her

479
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 10: how pretty her eyes are.

480
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:54,160
Speaker 9: Man, if it's this hot here on the beach by

481
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:56,680
Speaker 9: the water, We're going to the Everglades on Sunday, where

482
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:58,879
Speaker 9: it's supposed to be significantly more humid and hot. I

483
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:00,960
Speaker 9: can't imagine what that's going to you. Like, I'll be

484
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 9: wishing an alligator would bite my head off.

485
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:05,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, speaking of which, have you seen any of the

486
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 4: big lizards with the boys yet?

487
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 2: No? We just we are.

488
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:09,359
Speaker 6: We are.

489
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 9: We arrived, as I explained it, three in the morning, basically,

490
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 9: so we haven't done much yet.

491
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 2: Yeah.

492
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:17,719
Speaker 9: I just had a U I just had a lobster

493
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 9: onlet that was pretty fantastic.

494
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:21,919
Speaker 2: Oh, I'll bet, I'll bet so.

495
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:24,679
Speaker 4: Is there surf there or there crashing waves or is

496
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 4: it pretty placid?

497
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 2: It's I'd say it's in between.

498
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 9: It's like perfect for being out there in the water

499
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 9: and bob up and down, but not going to drag

500
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 9: you out to see and kill you.

501
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 2: I might run a jet ski and had to Cuba

502
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 2: the good Man.

503
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:41,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, the little reverse mary l boat left good idea. Yeah,

504
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:44,640
Speaker 4: they'll welcome you with open arms. H isn't it crazy

505
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:47,440
Speaker 4: how warm the Atlantic is compared.

506
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:47,639
Speaker 2: To the Pacific.

507
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:50,399
Speaker 9: And then yet but salmon henry are out there right now,

508
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 9: and sam and hates cold water, so it must be

509
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 9: pretty comfy.

510
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 2: Yeah.

511
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 4: I still remember the shock of stepping into the Pacific

512
00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 4: Ocean for the first time, having grown up is kid

513
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 4: who vacationed on the East Coast and thinking.

514
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 2: Sweet mother, God, go wrong. No, the Atlantic Ocean in

515
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:08,639
Speaker 2: the summertime is like a path. Seriously.

516
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's like so all those beach boys songs, you know,

517
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 9: all the surfing you know, they're all shrunk up underneath

518
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 9: those shorts.

519
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 4: It's freezing cool, right, or they're wearing wet suits or whatever,

520
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 4: But certainly more than.

521
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 2: The harlots of South Beach. I don't approve.

522
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:27,120
Speaker 9: I liked the way everybody on the plane last night

523
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:29,639
Speaker 9: just accepted the fact that we sat there for an

524
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 9: hour fifteen with no explanation whatsoever. Before we took off,

525
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 9: and everybody just accepts that now because it's just part

526
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:35,680
Speaker 9: of the deal.

527
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, nobody felt the need to explain. Nobody even ask.

528
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:42,480
Speaker 2: You just think, well, I guess this is just the

529
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 2: way it is flying now. Didn't used to be that way.

530
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 9: Somebody would have made a big deal out of the

531
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 9: fact that we've been sitting here for an hour fifteen

532
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:51,439
Speaker 9: before we took off and we're gonna be late for everything.

533
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:52,920
Speaker 2: That's just part of the deal.

534
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 4: Now, switching to my business reporter hat, it'll be interesting

535
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:02,440
Speaker 4: to see the evolution of Southwest airlines as they have evolved.

536
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:07,679
Speaker 4: Somewhat the late night comedians making jokes about Spirit and

537
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:11,479
Speaker 4: Jet Blue and all those other alternate airlines. That's not

538
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 4: from nothing. They didn't make that stuff up. That derision

539
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:19,359
Speaker 4: came from somewhere. Which direction does the great Southwest go?

540
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:20,120
Speaker 2: Who knows?

541
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 9: Yeah, you don't want to end up being like a

542
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 9: Spirit or a Bowling, where you're just an endless punchline.

543
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:29,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, absolutely not so obviously. Rest of today that

544
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:32,360
Speaker 4: way more boobs. I gotta gotta turn my head this way.

545
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 4: I don't want to be I don't anybody think I'm staring.

546
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:35,199
Speaker 2: I'll look this.

547
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 4: There's a cop car over there. I'll stare at the

548
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 4: cop car. That's what ill did, Jack have vacation in

549
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 4: the South of France. You'll get used to it, They'll

550
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:43,240
Speaker 4: get used to it. Everything will be fine, very very

551
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:49,840
Speaker 4: soone we have the breast arm. The breast alarm has sounded.

552
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 4: Ladies and gentlemen, head to the shelters.

553
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 9: I don't want to be old guy at the beach

554
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 9: staring at twenty year old's boobs, So I got to

555
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 9: make sure my head is going the right direction.

556
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:01,160
Speaker 4: You're not gonna stay. But you don't have to look

557
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:03,679
Speaker 4: at a cop car either. But do you have to

558
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 4: right to look in the direction you choose?

559
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:08,639
Speaker 2: Jack, this is America. That's trouble.

560
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:10,080
Speaker 9: You wouldn't You wouldn't be able to tell it because

561
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:11,920
Speaker 9: I haven't heard anybody speak English and quite some time.

562
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 2: Yeah.

563
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, Although, getting back to the Cuban culture thing, it's

564
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 4: a shame that goddamn communists are in charge of Cuba,

565
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 4: because the food is incredible, the music is wonderful, the

566
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:25,200
Speaker 4: people are hardworking and industrious.

567
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:26,639
Speaker 2: It's it's a shame.

568
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:29,160
Speaker 9: I was thinking that last night, this whole South Beach

569
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 9: vibe would be all of Cuba, and people would be

570
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:34,119
Speaker 9: traveling from all over the world to spend the kind

571
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 9: of money they spend here in Cuba. Those idiot communists, uh,

572
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 9: you know, missing out on all that.

573
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 4: Well, that's what used to happen until Chae Guovera and

574
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 4: old weird Beard Castro got the nod. But what are

575
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 4: you gonna do? Nothing's forever anything exciting this afternoon, or

576
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 4: you just chill out after your all night shirts in Miami.

577
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 4: Oh my god, punch of minute. Probably not quite as

578
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 4: cool to do. Yeah, no kidding, I guess yeah.

579
00:28:57,640 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 2: Excuse me, excuse me, you and the T shirt.

580
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, Jacob Vera and his guys they executed my grandfather

581
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 4: for no reason other than he was a school teacher.

582
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 4: So yeah, yeah, try that in South Beach beaches. Anyway,

583
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 4: go vacation, have a good time.

584
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 2: Did we lose him? That's fine, We're going to break anyway.

585
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 4: Jack weighing in from the hot, steamy beaches of Miami.

586
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 4: We'll be back and finished wrong. Next funny coincidence. There's

587
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 4: breaking news is I'm speaking these words that the University

588
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 4: of Virginia president has resigned. The Justice Department was after

589
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 4: him because he had been enthusiastically continuing illegal DEI programs,

590
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:55,480
Speaker 4: specifically racial discrimination, you know, relying on the ridiculous but

591
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 4: popular canard that the way you fix any racial problems

592
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 4: of history through lots and lots of racism. The Justice

593
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:07,880
Speaker 4: Department was looking into the schools clinging to DEI efforts

594
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 4: and good, I'm glad he quit. It's it's a step

595
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 4: in the right direction anyway, because our universities and schools

596
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 4: are hotbeds of this stuff. And also the Supreme Court

597
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 4: earlier today had ruled that yes, parents can absolutely demand

598
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:32,320
Speaker 4: that their kids can opt out of so called lgbt

599
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 4: Q plus minus over the power of three stories in

600
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 4: Maryland schools as they were teaching kids radical gender theory

601
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 4: in like third grade, and the parents are saying, you've

602
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 4: got to give us, We've got to be able to

603
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:49,959
Speaker 4: take our kids out of school and and and not

604
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 4: hear that stuff. It's it's absolutely antithetical to our religion

605
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 4: and our morals and our beliefs about the world and

606
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:01,480
Speaker 4: the rest of it. So that's that's another a great blow.

607
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 4: Oppression comes from the left and the right alike always

608
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 4: has in fact, you know, whether it's you want to

609
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 4: cite the horseshoe theory that you know, towards the you know,

610
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 4: end of the horseshoe, the left and right are pretty

611
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 4: close to each other.

612
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:18,440
Speaker 2: And who was it? Oh? Was it?

613
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:22,560
Speaker 4: Iin Ran somebody made the brilliant point that affectional that effectively,

614
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 4: there's really no difference between left and right. They throw

615
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 4: different phony academic rationales at you as to why they

616
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 4: ought to be in charge of everything, but what they

617
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 4: share is a systematic subjugation of individual rights in favor

618
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:45,200
Speaker 4: of government control. And it's funny that those two things

619
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 4: should break as I'm getting ready to finish up the

620
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 4: last show before Independence Day next week.

621
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 2: We're all on vacation next week.

622
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:55,480
Speaker 4: But after Thomas, Jefferson and Adams, mostly with some help

623
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 4: from Ben Franklin, drafted the Declaration of Independence and went

624
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 4: through Continental Congress and everything. The first paragraph is just saying, look,

625
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 4: we're breaking with England, and we owe everybody an explanation why.

626
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:11,520
Speaker 4: It's a famous paragraph, but I'm going to skip to

627
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:14,480
Speaker 4: the second one. We hold these truths to be self evident,

628
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:16,959
Speaker 4: that all men are created equal, that they are endowed
