WEBVTT - It Sucks To Suck

0:00:09.680 --> 0:00:13.960
<v Speaker 1>Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

0:00:14.040 --> 0:00:18.040
<v Speaker 1>Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Show Kaddy.

0:00:18.000 --> 0:00:32.519
<v Speaker 2>Armstrong and Jetty and Arms live kind of from Studio

0:00:32.720 --> 0:00:37.800
<v Speaker 2>C at a dimly lit room deeple from the bowels

0:00:37.800 --> 0:00:40.879
<v Speaker 2>of the Armstrong and Getty Communications Compound. And today on

0:00:40.920 --> 0:00:43.440
<v Speaker 2>a Friday, we are in the toilet under the title

0:00:43.479 --> 0:00:46.720
<v Speaker 2>of the show Great Scott. It's a rare triple title

0:00:46.840 --> 0:00:48.760
<v Speaker 2>day number one.

0:00:48.880 --> 0:00:53.519
<v Speaker 1>Pearl Harbor more like Cringe Harbor or March Madness is

0:00:53.600 --> 0:00:54.480
<v Speaker 1>highly upsetting?

0:00:54.960 --> 0:00:58.360
<v Speaker 2>Or why does everyone want to bust a Philly?

0:00:59.720 --> 0:01:03.800
<v Speaker 1>The lip Buster closer than ever to being done away with?

0:01:05.240 --> 0:01:07.600
<v Speaker 2>Wow, I thought that was one of your titles yesterday

0:01:07.600 --> 0:01:09.200
<v Speaker 2>and we never got around to talking about it.

0:01:10.200 --> 0:01:13.840
<v Speaker 1>More endangered than pandas the Filipbuster. That's correct, Yes, I've

0:01:13.920 --> 0:01:15.959
<v Speaker 1>held it over, but cleverly reinvented it.

0:01:18.959 --> 0:01:22.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's a good topic. I didn't follow any of

0:01:22.120 --> 0:01:24.480
<v Speaker 2>the March Madness. There were upsets.

0:01:25.959 --> 0:01:29.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Actually the Biggie was a tiny little High Point

0:01:29.280 --> 0:01:34.920
<v Speaker 1>University beat the mighty Wisconsin Badgers in the first round

0:01:35.160 --> 0:01:39.399
<v Speaker 1>on what were their seeds there? Michael, do you know offhand? No,

0:01:39.520 --> 0:01:42.720
<v Speaker 1>it's funny, Yeah, I was just being a big ten fan.

0:01:42.800 --> 0:01:44.640
<v Speaker 1>I was kind of just fixated on I can't believe

0:01:44.640 --> 0:01:46.760
<v Speaker 1>Wisconsin locked because they look like world beaters.

0:01:46.800 --> 0:01:49.040
<v Speaker 2>But on my racket in front of me, I know

0:01:49.080 --> 0:01:51.360
<v Speaker 2>that I had Wisconsin winning. So that's a bad start.

0:01:51.400 --> 0:01:54.760
<v Speaker 2>Somebody looked that up. Please, I need to know. Is

0:01:54.760 --> 0:02:02.920
<v Speaker 2>that a thirteen to four Wisconsin? Well, let's the well,

0:02:02.960 --> 0:02:05.400
<v Speaker 2>somebody's going to look it up, Katie. Is business looks

0:02:05.760 --> 0:02:07.720
<v Speaker 2>right as we speak. Look at a bracket, any bracket.

0:02:07.840 --> 0:02:12.840
<v Speaker 3>Are you talking about Wisconsin? Number twelve seed high point

0:02:13.200 --> 0:02:14.799
<v Speaker 3>total high five?

0:02:14.960 --> 0:02:19.240
<v Speaker 2>It's always twelve fives. Yes, you were the eyes of

0:02:19.280 --> 0:02:22.120
<v Speaker 2>the twelve five. And I had a twelve five upset

0:02:22.120 --> 0:02:24.440
<v Speaker 2>because there's always a twelve five upset. But it wasn't

0:02:24.440 --> 0:02:29.080
<v Speaker 2>that one done it. My back bracket has already busted. AnyWho.

0:02:31.120 --> 0:02:33.480
<v Speaker 2>I woke, uh, I got a really bad sore throat

0:02:33.520 --> 0:02:35.639
<v Speaker 2>middle of the day yesterday, and my son came complaining

0:02:35.680 --> 0:02:38.320
<v Speaker 2>to me that he had a sore throat. So that's

0:02:38.360 --> 0:02:41.160
<v Speaker 2>what maybe life has too. Seems like a heck of

0:02:41.160 --> 0:02:43.280
<v Speaker 2>a coincidence that he and I both have sore throats. Anyway,

0:02:43.320 --> 0:02:45.680
<v Speaker 2>So I started to chat gpting that and there are

0:02:45.680 --> 0:02:48.240
<v Speaker 2>a variety of diseases rolling around. Have got that, So

0:02:49.000 --> 0:02:50.760
<v Speaker 2>I hope I didn't bring anything into work to make

0:02:50.760 --> 0:02:51.760
<v Speaker 2>anybody sick, but.

0:02:52.639 --> 0:02:55.200
<v Speaker 1>Anything prominent on the list of because I'm curious what

0:02:55.240 --> 0:02:56.680
<v Speaker 1>my sweetheart has.

0:02:57.240 --> 0:03:00.359
<v Speaker 2>I thought thought it was blue but you, I thought

0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:02.400
<v Speaker 2>you had determined it was the flu. Now, well, we were.

0:03:02.280 --> 0:03:05.359
<v Speaker 1>Exposed to a guy who was coughing up along and

0:03:05.400 --> 0:03:08.480
<v Speaker 1>then was diagnosed with the flu two days later. So

0:03:08.600 --> 0:03:12.919
<v Speaker 1>that was why Sherlock Holmes, like you know, deduction, Yeah,

0:03:13.000 --> 0:03:13.520
<v Speaker 1>coffee up.

0:03:13.560 --> 0:03:15.359
<v Speaker 2>So he coughed and one of the lungs came up

0:03:15.400 --> 0:03:18.480
<v Speaker 2>out through his mouth. Briefly he sucked it back in.

0:03:20.400 --> 0:03:24.520
<v Speaker 2>That's what you gotta do quickly. Flu was on the

0:03:24.560 --> 0:03:27.799
<v Speaker 2>list the top three choices though for things that could

0:03:27.800 --> 0:03:31.320
<v Speaker 2>be a sore throat and you're feeling sick, so anyway,

0:03:31.880 --> 0:03:34.000
<v Speaker 2>maybe let me talk about that later, because there are

0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:36.800
<v Speaker 2>three particular things floating around the United States right now

0:03:36.800 --> 0:03:38.760
<v Speaker 2>that involve a sore throat, and that'd be good news

0:03:38.800 --> 0:03:41.440
<v Speaker 2>you can use in case your kids or you end

0:03:41.520 --> 0:03:45.360
<v Speaker 2>up with a sore throat. Just saw that Israel killed

0:03:45.360 --> 0:03:49.480
<v Speaker 2>another high profile dude, this time the spokesperson for the

0:03:49.640 --> 0:03:54.520
<v Speaker 2>Republican guard has been snuffed. Wow. He probably didn't have

0:03:54.600 --> 0:03:57.760
<v Speaker 2>much to report other than somebody's been snuffed anyway, So

0:03:58.320 --> 0:04:01.360
<v Speaker 2>I have a report. More of us have been Well,

0:04:02.160 --> 0:04:05.240
<v Speaker 2>my boss is dead, now I'm dead, that's right. Yeah.

0:04:05.320 --> 0:04:09.280
<v Speaker 1>I read an analysis by a actual authority on Iran

0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:13.600
<v Speaker 1>that said the idea that well, next man up. It's

0:04:13.640 --> 0:04:17.200
<v Speaker 1>just it doesn't go like that in running governments. Uh,

0:04:17.320 --> 0:04:24.080
<v Speaker 1>but there you got levels of expertise, respect, connectedness, and

0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:26.640
<v Speaker 1>man when you were remove layer after layer.

0:04:27.120 --> 0:04:31.640
<v Speaker 2>It's it's a serious thing. Yeah, I would assume that

0:04:31.720 --> 0:04:35.960
<v Speaker 2>it has to be. I think the respectedness, a word

0:04:36.000 --> 0:04:38.320
<v Speaker 2>I've never said before, has got to be a lot

0:04:38.360 --> 0:04:43.200
<v Speaker 2>of it, because you know, in a regime like theirs

0:04:43.200 --> 0:04:46.720
<v Speaker 2>as well, Yeah, but you start ended up with a

0:04:46.800 --> 0:04:49.440
<v Speaker 2>third in line in charge and then and then you know,

0:04:49.760 --> 0:04:53.920
<v Speaker 2>all of a sudden, that person's orders or decisions are like, eh,

0:04:53.960 --> 0:04:55.640
<v Speaker 2>that's a good idea.

0:04:55.680 --> 0:04:59.640
<v Speaker 1>You never been really impressed by him anyway? Yeah, Yeah,

0:05:00.200 --> 0:05:03.080
<v Speaker 1>but I don't. I really don't know, and I suppose

0:05:03.160 --> 0:05:06.120
<v Speaker 1>none of us actually know. So I taken a lot

0:05:06.160 --> 0:05:08.000
<v Speaker 1>of coverage on the war. I'm super interested in this.

0:05:08.080 --> 0:05:10.839
<v Speaker 1>It's a very very big story. It's it's hugely important.

0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:15.560
<v Speaker 2>It could it could get even more historical with a

0:05:15.640 --> 0:05:19.280
<v Speaker 2>couple of you know, zigs or zags any day now

0:05:20.760 --> 0:05:24.240
<v Speaker 2>on the trajectory of this thing. But the coverage of

0:05:25.560 --> 0:05:30.280
<v Speaker 2>like some of my favorite pundits say, this is insane,

0:05:30.520 --> 0:05:33.600
<v Speaker 2>the coverage of this war by the mainstream media. They

0:05:33.640 --> 0:05:36.920
<v Speaker 2>act like we've lost, but we've taken out this, We've

0:05:36.920 --> 0:05:39.200
<v Speaker 2>taken out that, we've devastated this. They can no longer

0:05:39.200 --> 0:05:41.200
<v Speaker 2>do that. I mean, the list of things that we've

0:05:41.240 --> 0:05:44.279
<v Speaker 2>done to them is just off the charts. But mainstream

0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:47.080
<v Speaker 2>media is treating it like we're losing. Okay, there's there's that,

0:05:47.560 --> 0:05:50.640
<v Speaker 2>and that, you know, makes an impression on me. Then

0:05:50.680 --> 0:05:56.400
<v Speaker 2>there's also the Benjamin Nettan Yah who yesterday gave a

0:05:56.400 --> 0:05:59.560
<v Speaker 2>speech saying, there's a decent chance the regime survives, so

0:05:59.600 --> 0:06:02.200
<v Speaker 2>we need to look at it this way. Okay. Was

0:06:02.240 --> 0:06:05.719
<v Speaker 2>that an admission that they took our best shot. They're

0:06:05.760 --> 0:06:07.760
<v Speaker 2>still there and we don't think we can take them out?

0:06:07.920 --> 0:06:11.600
<v Speaker 2>Is that what that is? And it could be? And

0:06:11.640 --> 0:06:15.360
<v Speaker 2>if so, then you know where are goals at that point?

0:06:15.440 --> 0:06:18.000
<v Speaker 1>I guess t weaken them to the point that they

0:06:18.000 --> 0:06:21.479
<v Speaker 1>can't disrupt global commerce and develop a nuclear weapon. It's

0:06:22.040 --> 0:06:25.000
<v Speaker 1>the I think the narrative that there has to be

0:06:25.160 --> 0:06:28.840
<v Speaker 1>one goal otherwise you don't have a goal, or that

0:06:28.880 --> 0:06:33.680
<v Speaker 1>you're aimless, is not realistic. When you're taking on a

0:06:33.760 --> 0:06:35.920
<v Speaker 1>challenge as big as Aron, you're going to reduce their

0:06:35.960 --> 0:06:40.279
<v Speaker 1>capacity to export you know, terror and chaos to whatever

0:06:40.320 --> 0:06:43.000
<v Speaker 1>extent you can. A regime change would be absolutely wonderful.

0:06:43.120 --> 0:06:44.839
<v Speaker 1>But if it turns out that would be too much work,

0:06:44.880 --> 0:06:46.359
<v Speaker 1>well then you just new to them.

0:06:47.200 --> 0:06:49.360
<v Speaker 2>Well, I guess the problem is without a regime change,

0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:51.240
<v Speaker 2>do we get the straight of horror moves open back up?

0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:53.320
<v Speaker 2>And getting the straight of horror moves open back up

0:06:53.400 --> 0:06:55.960
<v Speaker 2>is got to happen at this point.

0:06:56.560 --> 0:06:59.680
<v Speaker 1>I think so because of the incredible asymmetry of power.

0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:03.320
<v Speaker 1>It might take a while, but you know, every time

0:07:03.360 --> 0:07:05.680
<v Speaker 1>they take out a tanker, we take out a city.

0:07:05.880 --> 0:07:08.440
<v Speaker 1>I mean, after a while, they'll get tired of that.

0:07:09.120 --> 0:07:11.680
<v Speaker 1>Not to mention, we'll lop off another layer of command

0:07:11.760 --> 0:07:15.360
<v Speaker 1>and control and the political leadership every time. Yeah, they'll

0:07:15.400 --> 0:07:16.200
<v Speaker 1>they'll they'll give in.

0:07:16.840 --> 0:07:19.520
<v Speaker 2>What I hope is happening is the people that are

0:07:19.520 --> 0:07:22.360
<v Speaker 2>making the argument that yeah, they look like they've got

0:07:22.360 --> 0:07:24.400
<v Speaker 2>their act together a little bit from the outside but

0:07:24.480 --> 0:07:27.560
<v Speaker 2>they are a house of cards at this point that's

0:07:27.600 --> 0:07:30.800
<v Speaker 2>just going to absolutely crumble any moment. I hope that's

0:07:30.840 --> 0:07:34.600
<v Speaker 2>the case. And that sounds right, doesn't it Based on

0:07:34.720 --> 0:07:37.120
<v Speaker 2>just what we're talking about about taking all taking out

0:07:37.160 --> 0:07:39.480
<v Speaker 2>all the various levels of leadership, then the next guy,

0:07:39.520 --> 0:07:42.000
<v Speaker 2>than the next guy, in all these different parts of

0:07:42.040 --> 0:07:46.160
<v Speaker 2>their military capacity, that at some point it's just going

0:07:46.240 --> 0:07:48.000
<v Speaker 2>to collapse. Yeah.

0:07:48.040 --> 0:07:50.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to sound cynical or anything, because there

0:07:50.160 --> 0:07:52.760
<v Speaker 1>are actual lives at stake, but this is so interesting

0:07:52.800 --> 0:07:56.440
<v Speaker 1>to watch. You have a complete, you know, decapitation of

0:07:56.480 --> 0:07:59.960
<v Speaker 1>a regime. It's degenerated into like you know, a region,

0:08:00.880 --> 0:08:05.560
<v Speaker 1>both geographical regions and regions of power, like just no

0:08:05.840 --> 0:08:07.960
<v Speaker 1>central flow of power.

0:08:08.320 --> 0:08:11.120
<v Speaker 2>It's all kind of atomized. I guess the word would be.

0:08:12.040 --> 0:08:16.000
<v Speaker 1>What that looks like in two months, six months a year?

0:08:16.280 --> 0:08:19.960
<v Speaker 1>Is just super crazy interesting from a political science perspective,

0:08:20.080 --> 0:08:25.160
<v Speaker 1>I have no idea, particularly given the utter hatred of

0:08:25.200 --> 0:08:29.120
<v Speaker 1>the regime by huge swaths of the population, right, I mean,

0:08:29.160 --> 0:08:32.560
<v Speaker 1>how does that dynamic play out? Can you just rebrutalize

0:08:32.559 --> 0:08:34.679
<v Speaker 1>the population over and over and over again?

0:08:34.800 --> 0:08:37.360
<v Speaker 2>And who knows? It's terrible but interesting.

0:08:38.040 --> 0:08:42.640
<v Speaker 1>So Israel, thank God, you're American right now, friends, right now,

0:08:42.920 --> 0:08:45.360
<v Speaker 1>Thank whatever God you hold dear that you are an

0:08:45.400 --> 0:08:48.600
<v Speaker 1>American citizen. If you are, if not, welcome to our land.

0:08:48.600 --> 0:08:49.960
<v Speaker 1>I hope you enjoy your estate.

0:08:50.120 --> 0:08:55.280
<v Speaker 2>Learn to speak English, and don't overstay your visa. I tweeted.

0:08:55.840 --> 0:08:58.880
<v Speaker 2>I tweeted out a guy standing there reporting where a

0:09:02.000 --> 0:09:05.040
<v Speaker 2>missile felt like the block away from him. Did you

0:09:05.080 --> 0:09:07.559
<v Speaker 2>see that? And that's what I tweeted yesterday was I'm

0:09:07.559 --> 0:09:09.680
<v Speaker 2>glad I live in this country where that can happen.

0:09:09.880 --> 0:09:11.440
<v Speaker 2>There's a lot of places in the world where that

0:09:11.480 --> 0:09:13.160
<v Speaker 2>can happen. It can't happen here.

0:09:14.000 --> 0:09:16.960
<v Speaker 1>The son of the president of Iran is keeping a

0:09:16.960 --> 0:09:20.200
<v Speaker 1>bit of an online diary during the conflict, and some

0:09:20.280 --> 0:09:22.320
<v Speaker 1>of the things he said are really really interesting.

0:09:22.360 --> 0:09:25.120
<v Speaker 2>We'll get into that maybe next hour. Oh wow, that

0:09:25.240 --> 0:09:28.320
<v Speaker 2>sounds good. Israel did make a statement yesterday that they're

0:09:28.360 --> 0:09:33.640
<v Speaker 2>not going to attack any more energy infrastructure without our

0:09:35.200 --> 0:09:40.199
<v Speaker 2>going along with it. So whether they stick to that

0:09:40.320 --> 0:09:42.760
<v Speaker 2>or not, I don't know. Yeah, and it could be.

0:09:43.240 --> 0:09:44.800
<v Speaker 2>I feel like that kind of hurts the whole The

0:09:44.880 --> 0:09:48.240
<v Speaker 2>Jews are driving this and we're just their puppet narrative.

0:09:48.520 --> 0:09:51.480
<v Speaker 1>Which is idiotic. Please if you're saying that you're an idiot.

0:09:51.600 --> 0:09:54.520
<v Speaker 1>Stop saying anything. Idiots should be seen and not heard.

0:09:56.679 --> 0:09:59.120
<v Speaker 1>It is also entirely possible because the whole we knew

0:09:59.120 --> 0:09:59.400
<v Speaker 1>about it.

0:09:59.400 --> 0:10:01.040
<v Speaker 2>We didn't do a about it. We gave him permission,

0:10:01.080 --> 0:10:01.240
<v Speaker 2>we did.

0:10:01.600 --> 0:10:07.000
<v Speaker 1>That's just it's absolutely entirely possible that as we coordinate

0:10:07.040 --> 0:10:09.319
<v Speaker 1>with Israel, slightly different sets of goals. And we'll talk

0:10:09.320 --> 0:10:12.320
<v Speaker 1>about that too, But Israel said, look, we've got to

0:10:12.360 --> 0:10:15.080
<v Speaker 1>demonstrate that we're willing to take out their energy infrastructure.

0:10:15.080 --> 0:10:16.480
<v Speaker 2>That's going to be the only way to get them

0:10:16.480 --> 0:10:16.760
<v Speaker 2>to give.

0:10:17.200 --> 0:10:20.640
<v Speaker 1>And we said, all right, one sample of how bad

0:10:20.640 --> 0:10:23.600
<v Speaker 1>it could get, and then then we cool off because

0:10:23.600 --> 0:10:25.040
<v Speaker 1>we don't want to upset the world markets.

0:10:25.000 --> 0:10:26.680
<v Speaker 2>And there's you just said, okay, we'll take out this fit.

0:10:26.720 --> 0:10:28.480
<v Speaker 2>That sort of thing happens all the time in war.

0:10:29.360 --> 0:10:32.400
<v Speaker 2>Can you don't tell the New York Times, Maybe don't

0:10:32.440 --> 0:10:36.000

<v Speaker 2>This is their senior year. They're not good enough to

0:19:44.520 --> 0:19:46.760
<v Speaker 2>I got the right to kick a can in my backyard.

0:19:47.040 --> 0:19:50.240
<v Speaker 4>Use my freedom of speech, turn my bad times into

0:19:50.320 --> 0:19:51.000
<v Speaker 4>a good time.

0:19:51.359 --> 0:19:54.760
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I do. And I think I'm a sport for dealing.

0:19:54.800 --> 0:19:58.400
<v Speaker 2>So we're all on a spectrum, right.

0:19:58.480 --> 0:20:01.840
<v Speaker 3>It's just how society kind of push pushes us and

0:20:01.880 --> 0:20:04.359
<v Speaker 3>pressures us into these limiting gender roles.

0:20:05.200 --> 0:20:08.440
<v Speaker 2>And so to be able to just be roaming the

0:20:08.480 --> 0:20:12.680
<v Speaker 2>Santa Monica Mountains looking for seeds in that sacred solitude

0:20:13.080 --> 0:20:16.680
<v Speaker 2>was such a blessing. Mama has the icks so bad,

0:20:16.800 --> 0:20:19.880
<v Speaker 2>she looks like she's about to legit. I'm alive, her husband,

0:20:20.440 --> 0:20:22.800
<v Speaker 2>why do you not use capital letters? And as I

0:20:22.840 --> 0:20:26.800
<v Speaker 2>said it, I felt myself developed osteoporosis, like from how

0:20:26.840 --> 0:20:37.920
<v Speaker 2>old I was best? It's clips of the week lot

0:20:37.920 --> 0:20:42.239
<v Speaker 2>there that clip Gavin Newsom's wife. Society push pushes us

0:20:42.240 --> 0:20:45.720
<v Speaker 2>into gender roles. Oh my god. If she honestly that drum,

0:20:46.280 --> 0:20:48.120
<v Speaker 2>if she as lady, it's gonna be tough.

0:20:48.480 --> 0:20:51.280
<v Speaker 1>We have more from her. She's really speaking out lately.

0:20:51.560 --> 0:20:55.040
<v Speaker 1>She is a limousine Marxist. It occurred to me she

0:20:55.160 --> 0:20:57.320
<v Speaker 1>is the perfect example of that phrase I love for

0:20:57.480 --> 0:20:59.760
<v Speaker 1>Matt tayeebe upper class.

0:21:00.080 --> 0:21:07.840
<v Speaker 2>It's promoting revolution anyway. Uh, that whateer if there's that

0:21:07.880 --> 0:21:09.879
<v Speaker 2>would be a tough situation to be in. I mean,

0:21:09.880 --> 0:21:17.440
<v Speaker 2>because obviously Gavin could be thinking, she is not helping

0:21:17.520 --> 0:21:21.520
<v Speaker 2>me get to be president of the United States. But

0:21:21.560 --> 0:21:25.760
<v Speaker 2>how would I tell her to shut up? May That'd

0:21:25.760 --> 0:21:26.520
<v Speaker 2>be a tough situation.

0:21:26.600 --> 0:21:29.800
<v Speaker 1>Obviously, Gavy is getting a fair amount of attention online.

0:21:30.160 --> 0:21:32.199
<v Speaker 1>Over the last twenty four hours or so, he appeared

0:21:32.200 --> 0:21:35.320
<v Speaker 1>at some stupid event with I think it was criminal

0:21:35.400 --> 0:21:38.640
<v Speaker 1>Rob Bonta, the Attorney General. But Gavy's standing in the background,

0:21:38.760 --> 0:21:42.520
<v Speaker 1>just twitching NonStop and rubbing in his nose and pacing

0:21:42.640 --> 0:21:45.840
<v Speaker 1>back and forth. And I've never seen anybody behave like

0:21:45.920 --> 0:21:50.040
<v Speaker 1>that unless they are, you know, a coked up be

0:21:50.280 --> 0:21:53.919
<v Speaker 1>on meth or c like waiting to go in for

0:21:53.960 --> 0:21:55.800
<v Speaker 1>the interview that'll make or break their career.

0:21:56.400 --> 0:22:02.160
<v Speaker 2>But he is just twitchy, really interesting, interesting, right, Okay, uh, Michael,

0:22:02.160 --> 0:22:04.679
<v Speaker 2>We're gonna play clips sixty. So the setting here is

0:22:04.720 --> 0:22:08.000
<v Speaker 2>Trump is in the Oval Office with the Prime Minister

0:22:08.080 --> 0:22:10.400
<v Speaker 2>of Japan, who is a woman, first time they've ever

0:22:10.400 --> 0:22:13.879
<v Speaker 2>had a woman prime minister. She is quite a hawk

0:22:14.080 --> 0:22:17.399
<v Speaker 2>on China and protecting Taiwan and that sort of stuff,

0:22:17.400 --> 0:22:19.359
<v Speaker 2>and she is a friend of the United States. It's uh,

0:22:19.800 --> 0:22:23.600
<v Speaker 2>it's good to have her in charge of Japan. But

0:22:23.680 --> 0:22:26.280
<v Speaker 2>oh yeah, a huge step forward. Trump, as he often

0:22:26.320 --> 0:22:28.600
<v Speaker 2>does when he has world leaders there, starts taking questions

0:22:28.600 --> 0:22:30.120
<v Speaker 2>from the press, and you'll hear the question.

0:22:30.480 --> 0:22:33.960
<v Speaker 4>Let me pick a beautiful looking person from a beautiful

0:22:34.000 --> 0:22:38.960
<v Speaker 4>person from Japan, A question for the Prime minister. Go ahead, yeah,

0:22:39.400 --> 0:22:45.880
<v Speaker 4>oh he doesn't really, Oh he's just selling chet go ahead.

0:22:46.320 --> 0:22:50.600
<v Speaker 5>Of us, know Japan, and this is a very good friend.

0:22:50.600 --> 0:22:57.520
<v Speaker 5>But one question, why isn't use allence in Europe? And yeah,

0:22:57.520 --> 0:23:00.760
<v Speaker 5>as like Japan about the wol before looking out. So

0:23:01.240 --> 0:23:04.080
<v Speaker 5>we are very confused about we're telling.

0:23:04.320 --> 0:23:06.879
<v Speaker 2>Well, one thing. You don't want to signal too much.

0:23:07.040 --> 0:23:09.080
<v Speaker 4>You know when we go in, we went in very

0:23:09.119 --> 0:23:12.679
<v Speaker 4>hard and we didn't tell anybody about it because we

0:23:12.720 --> 0:23:18.000
<v Speaker 4>wanted surprise. Who knows better about surprise in Japan? Hey,

0:23:18.240 --> 0:23:20.320
<v Speaker 4>why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor?

0:23:20.880 --> 0:23:21.600
<v Speaker 2>Okay?

0:23:22.480 --> 0:23:28.520
<v Speaker 4>Right, yeah, do you believe in surprise? I think much

0:23:28.560 --> 0:23:33.760
<v Speaker 4>more sound than us.

0:23:33.840 --> 0:23:38.520
<v Speaker 2>So cringey god, And the Prime Minister is sitting there

0:23:38.560 --> 0:23:41.760
<v Speaker 2>with a blank expression in her face, like this moment.

0:23:41.800 --> 0:23:43.399
<v Speaker 2>Let's let this get past this moment.

0:23:43.880 --> 0:23:47.560
<v Speaker 1>Oh man, go to another question, right, exactly, Witch, this

0:23:47.680 --> 0:23:50.359
<v Speaker 1>is Mike Zelensky. You have no cards moment, got to

0:23:50.440 --> 0:23:55.600
<v Speaker 1>stay calm, right, right, So I'll just.

0:23:55.680 --> 0:23:57.960
<v Speaker 2>Give you a smattering of the reactions.

0:23:59.720 --> 0:24:03.159
<v Speaker 1>There are a number of people who are offended or

0:24:03.200 --> 0:24:09.720
<v Speaker 1>pretending to be offended in Japan and other you know places,

0:24:09.760 --> 0:24:12.800
<v Speaker 1>including the capitals of the intelligency in the United States.

0:24:13.640 --> 0:24:16.560
<v Speaker 2>Well, let's let's dwell on this before you move on. Sure,

0:24:16.640 --> 0:24:18.320
<v Speaker 2>let me think, Oh, yes, I hadn't thought about the

0:24:18.320 --> 0:24:24.520
<v Speaker 2>idea of being offended. As Japan it is everybody's always

0:24:24.520 --> 0:24:26.440
<v Speaker 2>everything's always got back to go back to the Hitler

0:24:26.440 --> 0:24:28.639
<v Speaker 2>in the Nazis. But like, if it was Germany and

0:24:28.680 --> 0:24:31.560
<v Speaker 2>you make some joke that like equates to the current

0:24:31.600 --> 0:24:35.720
<v Speaker 2>current Germans with the Nazis, that would definitely be offensive.

0:24:36.200 --> 0:24:38.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, if you made some comment about, oh, you're gonna

0:24:38.400 --> 0:24:40.000
<v Speaker 1>put the cake in the oven, that's not the same

0:24:40.040 --> 0:24:43.080
<v Speaker 1>ovens you used for you know, the Jews more about.

0:24:42.920 --> 0:24:45.760
<v Speaker 2>Ovens than the than the Nazis. Huh huh, yeah, all

0:24:45.800 --> 0:24:46.720
<v Speaker 2>the ovens.

0:24:47.520 --> 0:24:52.000
<v Speaker 1>It has an element of bringing up an incredibly painful

0:24:52.040 --> 0:24:55.040
<v Speaker 1>and unpleasant chapter with a friend.

0:24:55.400 --> 0:24:57.640
<v Speaker 2>Right, and it's similar. I mean, they had an out

0:24:57.640 --> 0:25:04.600
<v Speaker 2>of control an nihilist, militaristic society at the time with

0:25:04.840 --> 0:25:12.200
<v Speaker 2>enormous popular support with them. So there's that the emperor

0:25:12.240 --> 0:25:17.600
<v Speaker 2>is a god, et cetera. Uh SO TV commentator said

0:25:17.600 --> 0:25:19.880
<v Speaker 2>it shows an unpleasant side of President Trump. He doesn't

0:25:19.880 --> 0:25:21.840
<v Speaker 2>care at all that the Japanese Prime Minister is sitting

0:25:21.880 --> 0:25:24.520
<v Speaker 2>next to him. Here's A professor of Japanese politics at

0:25:24.600 --> 0:25:28.520
<v Speaker 2>University of Tokyo said that many Japanese would probably shrug

0:25:28.560 --> 0:25:30.719
<v Speaker 2>off the joke, seeing it is just another over the

0:25:30.720 --> 0:25:33.399
<v Speaker 2>top remark by mister Trump. Yeah, he added, this is

0:25:33.440 --> 0:25:36.320
<v Speaker 2>something that absolutely shouldn't be said. You might just start

0:25:36.359 --> 0:25:39.400
<v Speaker 2>saying things like Hiroshima and Nagasaki were fine, weren't they

0:25:39.560 --> 0:25:44.280
<v Speaker 2>For Japanese people, we can't accept that. I will tell

0:25:44.280 --> 0:25:45.680
<v Speaker 2>you this.

0:25:45.680 --> 0:25:49.280
<v Speaker 1>This will come and go like a summer rain already,

0:25:49.320 --> 0:25:53.439
<v Speaker 1>has I suppose Yeah, yeah, I will tell you this.

0:25:53.480 --> 0:25:55.639
<v Speaker 1>And I didn't get permission to tell the story, so

0:25:55.680 --> 0:25:59.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to keep it vague. I have a friend

0:26:00.200 --> 0:26:05.679
<v Speaker 1>who was in South Korea on business and one of

0:26:05.720 --> 0:26:10.840
<v Speaker 1>his coworkers is Japanese, and they went to a South

0:26:10.920 --> 0:26:15.560
<v Speaker 1>Korean museum and there were so many exhibits of when

0:26:15.680 --> 0:26:18.360
<v Speaker 1>Korea was sneak attacked by Japan.

0:26:20.240 --> 0:26:22.320
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it was a theme that happened over and

0:26:22.359 --> 0:26:22.960
<v Speaker 2>over again.

0:26:24.640 --> 0:26:29.879
<v Speaker 1>Perhaps one person started nicknaming the other person's sneak attack

0:26:30.960 --> 0:26:34.959
<v Speaker 1>because the Japanese were so repeatedly into that.

0:26:35.280 --> 0:26:38.400
<v Speaker 2>And how no, and how did the person of Japanese

0:26:38.400 --> 0:26:40.240
<v Speaker 2>persuasion take the nickname? I was laughing.

0:26:40.280 --> 0:26:43.280
<v Speaker 1>I didn't ask did they find that funny? Or I

0:26:43.320 --> 0:26:47.240
<v Speaker 1>have no idea. But the point is Trump was right.

0:26:47.320 --> 0:26:48.440
<v Speaker 1>He was one hundred percent right.

0:26:48.480 --> 0:26:50.560
<v Speaker 2>Not necessarily you want to bring up your friend's worst

0:26:50.680 --> 0:26:51.960
<v Speaker 2>a moment in front of them.

0:26:52.560 --> 0:26:57.520
<v Speaker 4>Probably not because we wanted to surprise. Who knows better

0:26:57.600 --> 0:26:59.080
<v Speaker 4>about surprise than Japan.

0:27:00.320 --> 0:27:02.919
<v Speaker 2>Trump was right? What does that mean? What do you

0:27:02.920 --> 0:27:03.800
<v Speaker 2>mean Trump was right?

0:27:04.359 --> 0:27:09.520
<v Speaker 1>Well, Japan and the sneak attack are practically synonymous.

0:27:10.400 --> 0:27:13.840
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, you're experts, you're experts. I don't know if

0:27:13.840 --> 0:27:16.080
<v Speaker 2>you put that in the category of right. There's lots

0:27:16.080 --> 0:27:18.920
<v Speaker 2>of things that there are gazillions of things that are correct,

0:27:18.960 --> 0:27:20.080
<v Speaker 2>but you don't save them.

0:27:20.440 --> 0:27:23.200
<v Speaker 1>That's right up there with origami and sushi. It's part

0:27:23.200 --> 0:27:26.080
<v Speaker 1>of the Japanese culture. It was just observing that he.

0:27:26.080 --> 0:27:33.359
<v Speaker 2>Was paying tribute to their culture. Oh my god, at

0:27:33.440 --> 0:27:38.199
<v Speaker 2>least he didn't bring up Godzilla. You guys said, you

0:27:38.200 --> 0:27:41.119
<v Speaker 2>guys did a very good jobagating Godzilla under control. I

0:27:41.160 --> 0:27:43.560
<v Speaker 2>took my cat to that. Tell you what a couple

0:27:43.600 --> 0:27:46.960
<v Speaker 2>of subway cars. But you know, what are you gonna do? Yeah? No,

0:27:47.080 --> 0:27:49.720
<v Speaker 2>it was terrible. It was absolutely terrible. But of no

0:27:49.800 --> 0:27:53.240
<v Speaker 2>great last No, he is so unbelievable. He's one of

0:27:53.280 --> 0:27:57.000
<v Speaker 2>the more unique people who have ever been of prominence

0:27:57.040 --> 0:27:58.320
<v Speaker 2>in the history of the world.

0:28:00.880 --> 0:28:03.280
<v Speaker 1>And I would love to know. I guess we'll know

0:28:03.320 --> 0:28:08.040
<v Speaker 1>maybe going forward. How much of it is the media

0:28:08.320 --> 0:28:12.840
<v Speaker 1>and the swamp were so brutally unfair to his first administration.

0:28:13.520 --> 0:28:15.879
<v Speaker 2>He's got an f it, f you and f it

0:28:16.200 --> 0:28:17.080
<v Speaker 2>attitude going.

0:28:17.240 --> 0:28:20.000
<v Speaker 1>Plus he's got the old man filter going away thing,

0:28:20.840 --> 0:28:23.359
<v Speaker 1>So how fasten your seatbelts?

0:28:23.480 --> 0:28:25.960
<v Speaker 2>He might here's what I like at it too. I

0:28:26.000 --> 0:28:28.480
<v Speaker 2>also need to be vague so I don't hurt anybody's feelings.

0:28:28.480 --> 0:28:32.639
<v Speaker 2>Somebody I know when I was a kid, that's bothered me.

0:28:33.440 --> 0:28:35.760
<v Speaker 2>When I got older, I understood what was happening. There

0:28:35.800 --> 0:28:40.360
<v Speaker 2>are some people that their personality is they always like

0:28:40.480 --> 0:28:44.640
<v Speaker 2>to have you uncomfortable and on your heels, even if

0:28:44.680 --> 0:28:47.800
<v Speaker 2>they're you're not liking a negotiation or anything like that.

0:28:48.440 --> 0:28:51.640
<v Speaker 2>They just want to have you a little rattled. That's

0:28:51.680 --> 0:28:54.520
<v Speaker 2>the way they live their lives. They want everybody around

0:28:54.560 --> 0:28:56.720
<v Speaker 2>them to be a little rattled. It puts them in

0:28:56.720 --> 0:29:00.560
<v Speaker 2>a position of power or comfort or I don't know

0:29:00.600 --> 0:29:03.080
<v Speaker 2>what it is as a psychological trait. I think Trump

0:29:03.120 --> 0:29:06.280
<v Speaker 2>is that he likes to have people around him just

0:29:06.360 --> 0:29:10.520
<v Speaker 2>a little off kilter in case he needs it. I

0:29:10.520 --> 0:29:11.800
<v Speaker 2>think so, yeah, one hundred percent.

0:29:13.320 --> 0:29:18.120
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, because we wanted surprise. Who knows better about surprise

0:29:18.200 --> 0:29:18.800
<v Speaker 4>than Japan.

0:29:21.200 --> 0:29:23.120
<v Speaker 2>You should have told me about Pearl Harbor, which of

0:29:23.120 --> 0:29:25.680
<v Speaker 2>course was a weird thing since nobody was born at

0:29:25.680 --> 0:29:26.120
<v Speaker 2>the time.

0:29:26.240 --> 0:29:30.960
<v Speaker 1>But little Tora torah tora reference or something. Yeah, come on,

0:29:31.360 --> 0:29:31.800
<v Speaker 1>come on.

0:29:34.800 --> 0:29:38.320
<v Speaker 2>That is so amazing of the look on the Prime

0:29:38.360 --> 0:29:41.920
<v Speaker 2>Minister's face and at this particular moment where they had

0:29:42.000 --> 0:29:44.440
<v Speaker 2>stated twenty four hours previous that they were not going

0:29:44.480 --> 0:29:46.960
<v Speaker 2>to help us out, and then they decided to sign

0:29:47.000 --> 0:29:49.200
<v Speaker 2>on to that letter with all the European countries about

0:29:49.200 --> 0:29:50.960
<v Speaker 2>helping us get the straight up war moves open. And

0:29:51.200 --> 0:29:55.160
<v Speaker 2>how does a major win for Marco Rubio or whoever

0:29:55.240 --> 0:29:57.520
<v Speaker 2>got put that together? And then Trump makes.

0:29:57.280 --> 0:30:01.280
<v Speaker 1>The boy flatter and the crap out Trump too. Yeah,

0:30:01.640 --> 0:30:03.280
<v Speaker 1>I mean, like to the point that she knew what

0:30:03.320 --> 0:30:05.040
<v Speaker 1>she was doing and she was choking down her pride

0:30:05.040 --> 0:30:06.400
<v Speaker 1>and all but figured out you got to do it

0:30:06.440 --> 0:30:12.680
<v Speaker 1>with this guy and then that thing, yeah, oh my god.

0:30:13.400 --> 0:30:16.160
<v Speaker 2>Anyway, it's just you know, and then kind of like

0:30:16.240 --> 0:30:19.000
<v Speaker 2>the person that I'm imagining who used to do that

0:30:19.080 --> 0:30:20.760
<v Speaker 2>all the time until I figured out, Oh, okay, I

0:30:20.760 --> 0:30:25.080
<v Speaker 2>get what it is. You expect it, you get used

0:30:25.080 --> 0:30:26.880
<v Speaker 2>to it. You know that's their personality. You might not

0:30:27.160 --> 0:30:29.160
<v Speaker 2>like it, but it's just it's not as shocking as

0:30:29.160 --> 0:30:30.680
<v Speaker 2>it would be coming out of somebody else where you're

0:30:30.720 --> 0:30:33.320
<v Speaker 2>not used to it. And I think Trump's definitely that way.

0:30:33.520 --> 0:30:38.000
<v Speaker 2>The Overton window for what behavior might happen in a

0:30:38.040 --> 0:30:41.000
<v Speaker 2>conversation is much different in a room with Trump than

0:30:41.080 --> 0:30:41.840
<v Speaker 2>with anybody else.

0:30:42.520 --> 0:30:44.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and world leaders have definitely caught on to it.

0:30:44.800 --> 0:30:47.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean, this guy is Japanese, so the Japanese people

0:30:47.640 --> 0:30:51.560
<v Speaker 1>are legit famed for their reserve, and you know that

0:30:51.600 --> 0:30:54.520
<v Speaker 1>they're not an effusive people. Jo, why didn't you tell

0:30:54.600 --> 0:30:58.240
<v Speaker 1>us about Pearl Harbor? Well, he said, why didn't you

0:30:58.280 --> 0:30:59.440
<v Speaker 1>tell me about Pearl r?

0:31:00.240 --> 0:31:00.720
<v Speaker 2>Wait what?

0:31:02.760 --> 0:31:07.280
<v Speaker 4>Because we surprise who knows better about surprise than Japan.

0:31:08.000 --> 0:31:10.960
<v Speaker 1>I tell you what, WTF is the universal language? Because

0:31:10.960 --> 0:31:14.400
<v Speaker 1>as her translator translates that to her, you see her

0:31:14.440 --> 0:31:15.080
<v Speaker 1>face be.

0:31:15.120 --> 0:31:19.520
<v Speaker 2>Like what he said? What? Oh Jesus. But she tried

0:31:19.520 --> 0:31:22.120
<v Speaker 2>to keep her composure, but you know that look crept in.

0:31:22.720 --> 0:31:26.600
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god. Okay, we got mail back next day here.

0:31:29.880 --> 0:31:33.600
<v Speaker 2>So does your wife, Judy have any symptoms other than

0:31:33.600 --> 0:31:34.240
<v Speaker 2>a sore throat?

0:31:35.880 --> 0:31:39.480
<v Speaker 1>Just the general malaise and sniffles and that sort of thing.

0:31:40.320 --> 0:31:42.880
<v Speaker 2>Trying to figure out what's going around the country right now.

0:31:42.960 --> 0:31:45.239
<v Speaker 2>It starts with a really bad sore throat. Since I've

0:31:45.280 --> 0:31:47.040
<v Speaker 2>got one, and my son's got one and your wife

0:31:47.040 --> 0:31:47.480
<v Speaker 2>has one.

0:31:49.120 --> 0:31:55.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, here's your freedom loving quote of the day.

0:31:55.600 --> 0:32:00.800
<v Speaker 1>M Oh, this is a great one from Churchill in

0:32:00.880 --> 0:32:04.200
<v Speaker 1>war time, truth is so precious that she should always

0:32:04.200 --> 0:32:11.000
<v Speaker 1>be attended by a bodyguard of lies. Interesting thought, The

0:32:11.080 --> 0:32:14.160
<v Speaker 1>truth is so precious should always be attended by a

0:32:14.200 --> 0:32:19.240
<v Speaker 1>bodyguard of lies. Deception is part of war. Absolutely. Mailbag

0:32:19.840 --> 0:32:20.360
<v Speaker 1>woo woot.

0:32:22.520 --> 0:32:23.760
<v Speaker 2>Let's see we'll start with this.

0:32:25.000 --> 0:32:27.560
<v Speaker 1>Barry, Oh, drop us a note mailbag at armstrung and

0:32:27.560 --> 0:32:29.680
<v Speaker 1>getty dot com. Barry said, can someone explain to me

0:32:30.200 --> 0:32:33.680
<v Speaker 1>on population decline in AI what the concern is about

0:32:33.800 --> 0:32:36.840
<v Speaker 1>nation's experience in declining populations? And it gives some of

0:32:36.880 --> 0:32:39.400
<v Speaker 1>the stats and say I will be eliminating untold jobs.

0:32:39.600 --> 0:32:41.480
<v Speaker 1>Does it really matter if the population goes back to

0:32:41.560 --> 0:32:44.280
<v Speaker 1>nineteen seventy five levels? Should also benefit the planet with

0:32:44.320 --> 0:32:47.960
<v Speaker 1>regards to climate change, excess resource extraction, pollution, et cetera.

0:32:48.000 --> 0:32:52.520
<v Speaker 2>If I'm being stupid, please inform me well from everything

0:32:52.600 --> 0:32:54.600
<v Speaker 2>I read about demographics, the problem with that is it

0:32:54.600 --> 0:32:57.479
<v Speaker 2>tends to be trends that keep going in a direction.

0:32:58.320 --> 0:32:59.800
<v Speaker 2>And if you keep going to a direction of dot

0:32:59.840 --> 0:33:04.120
<v Speaker 2>m kids, the population spiraling down really takes off. It's

0:33:04.160 --> 0:33:09.000
<v Speaker 2>exponential the way the numbers work. You know, right to

0:33:09.040 --> 0:33:11.000
<v Speaker 2>find some place to read about it, because it's amazing

0:33:11.360 --> 0:33:13.680
<v Speaker 2>how quickly it can go down to a tiny number.

0:33:14.280 --> 0:33:19.120
<v Speaker 1>And every Western democracy has a pyramid scheme welfare state, right,

0:33:19.920 --> 0:33:24.720
<v Speaker 1>and that is going to be fiscally disastrous during.

0:33:24.440 --> 0:33:26.920
<v Speaker 2>That low reproduction period.

0:33:26.960 --> 0:33:29.200
<v Speaker 1>At some point it'll probably go away in some form

0:33:29.240 --> 0:33:32.680
<v Speaker 1>or another and we'll probably have Lord of the flies, cannibalism,

0:33:32.720 --> 0:33:36.760
<v Speaker 1>et cetera. But being being concerned about people not being born,

0:33:37.840 --> 0:33:40.600
<v Speaker 1>how do you be concerned about someone who's not born

0:33:40.920 --> 0:33:44.680
<v Speaker 1>is an interesting idea agreed now. On the topic of

0:33:45.320 --> 0:33:49.240
<v Speaker 1>ses Archeves, Delors, Lauerta, etc. Tom writes, what happened to

0:33:49.320 --> 0:33:52.600
<v Speaker 1>Dolores Wuerto was terrible. She got raped by cesar Cheves,

0:33:53.360 --> 0:33:55.200
<v Speaker 1>not in a marriage, but she stayed, not in a

0:33:55.240 --> 0:33:57.720
<v Speaker 1>marriage to protect kids, but in a business relationship to

0:33:57.760 --> 0:33:59.920
<v Speaker 1>further a cause. That's a choice she gets to make

0:34:01.040 --> 0:34:03.000
<v Speaker 1>if it only affects her. But she is his right

0:34:03.000 --> 0:34:05.200
<v Speaker 1>hand lady, and it is it not possible that she

0:34:05.240 --> 0:34:07.600
<v Speaker 1>allowed others to suffer because the man was the cause,

0:34:07.640 --> 0:34:09.799
<v Speaker 1>and the cause was too important to get derailed by

0:34:09.800 --> 0:34:12.760
<v Speaker 1>her coming forward to protect them. Why only after others

0:34:12.760 --> 0:34:15.040
<v Speaker 1>came forward thirty years after his death did she say

0:34:15.160 --> 0:34:17.239
<v Speaker 1>me too. I'm not trying to tear her down, but

0:34:17.280 --> 0:34:19.560
<v Speaker 1>can we take a moment before we elevate another to

0:34:19.640 --> 0:34:24.759
<v Speaker 1>hero status. Changing names and rewriting textbooks costs money. How

0:34:24.800 --> 0:34:26.880
<v Speaker 1>about we do it only once she is in a

0:34:26.920 --> 0:34:30.440
<v Speaker 1>difficult position. Yeah, I was gonna say, I hesitate to

0:34:30.800 --> 0:34:34.920
<v Speaker 1>judge the actions and inactions of rape victims in the seventies,

0:34:35.440 --> 0:34:37.239
<v Speaker 1>victims of very very powerful men.

0:34:37.800 --> 0:34:39.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but interesting point.

0:34:40.560 --> 0:34:44.239
<v Speaker 1>Christo and Reno reminds us that sees Archives Street in

0:34:44.360 --> 0:34:47.280
<v Speaker 1>San Francisco was originally called Army Street for one hundred

0:34:47.320 --> 0:34:50.440
<v Speaker 1>and thirty years. Maybe it's time to rename it that

0:34:50.760 --> 0:34:54.560
<v Speaker 1>in honor of our fighting men and women. Let's see

0:34:54.680 --> 0:34:57.720
<v Speaker 1>great analysis here on the around thing. We don't have time,

0:34:57.840 --> 0:35:03.920
<v Speaker 1>and we particular early Jack, we're completely wrong about animal overpasses.

0:35:04.239 --> 0:35:08.680
<v Speaker 1>Late in the show yesterday, gobble some delicious humble pie.

0:35:09.160 --> 0:35:11.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah whatever, we got a lot more on the ways

0:35:11.600 --> 0:35:15.440
<v Speaker 2>to here, Armstrong and Getty
