Say, senor, it is a 0:00:34.200 --> 0:00:34.920 dimly lit. 0:00:34.840 --> 0:00:37.160 Room deeper from the bowels of the Armstrong and Getting 0:00:37.159 --> 0:00:41.479 communications compound.

I probably better 0:01:04.920 --> 0:01:06.440 left unsaid. Freaking yiddsha. 0:01:06.440 --> 0:01:08.120 I was trying to explain as we went through La 0:01:08.200 --> 0:01:10.720 Guardia Airport on vacation with our bags and stuff like 0:01:10.760 --> 0:01:12.360 that at the end of the day we were retired, traveling, 0:01:12.360 --> 0:01:14.800 et cetera. I was trying to explain schlep to them. 0:01:14.840 --> 0:01:18.000 Schlep is one of the greatest words. Oh that doesn't exist, 0:01:18.040 --> 0:01:21.560 you know in other ways that schlep is such a 0:01:21.560 --> 0:01:24.840 good word for just that whole trying to get your 0:01:24.920 --> 0:01:27.360 luggage out of the plane to the car, and then 0:01:27.400 --> 0:01:29.679 you gotta get to the bus that takes you. 0:01:29.720 --> 0:01:32.360 To the There's no better better words than lapping the 0:01:32.480 --> 0:01:35.240 luggage and the kids through the airport and then slapping 0:01:35.240 --> 0:01:36.920 them into the hotel and up to the room. 0:01:37.000 --> 0:01:40.240 Oh okay, I got something stuck in my craw I 0:01:40.280 --> 0:01:42.760 gotta deal with it off the bat. Otherwise, if you 0:01:42.840 --> 0:01:44.680 leave it in your craw your craw gets all red 0:01:44.680 --> 0:01:45.200 and infected. 0:01:45.240 --> 0:01:46.720 You need dinabiotics. You don't want that. 0:01:46.800 --> 0:01:50.240 Yeah, Michael, break out mister Armstrong's craw cream. Would you 0:01:50.280 --> 0:01:52.800 got it? We're gonna have to you if you administer that. 0:01:53.080 --> 0:01:55.520 Now I started it and now I'm disgusted by it. 0:01:57.040 --> 0:01:58.480 I win. You win. 0:02:01.280 --> 0:02:04.680 That is funny when somebody makes like an inappropriate job again, 0:02:04.760 --> 0:02:07.040 then you take it like further to where they are. 0:02:07.080 --> 0:02:10.359 They're the ones that feel uncomfortable, right. 0:02:12.720 --> 0:02:17.280 But the coverage of the poor, the tragedy in Texas, 0:02:17.880 --> 0:02:21.000 and we don't do tragedy on this show in the 0:02:21.000 --> 0:02:23.520 way that almost every other media outlet always has, and 0:02:23.560 --> 0:02:24.640 we never have for whatever reason. 0:02:24.720 --> 0:02:27.280 Luckily, Joe and I agree on this, But I just 0:02:29.240 --> 0:02:32.120 and I realize I'm an outlier on this sort of stuff. 0:02:32.120 --> 0:02:37.040 Maybe, But is there any benefit to society from rolling 0:02:37.160 --> 0:02:42.280 around in the awfulness of these kids drowning? Any benefit whatsoever? 0:02:42.400 --> 0:02:45.919 Is there any news value? Well, that's always the question 0:02:45.960 --> 0:02:49.000 for us. Is there a greater significance other than the 0:02:49.080 --> 0:02:53.000 horror and grief? Is there policy that needs to be changed? 0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:55.880 Does it show something that ought to happen? Or is 0:02:55.960 --> 0:03:00.560 it just an unspeakable tragedy that's occurred. And and you know, 0:03:00.600 --> 0:03:02.880 I'm for recognizing it and talking about it a little bit, 0:03:02.919 --> 0:03:04.040 but wallowing in it. 0:03:04.080 --> 0:03:05.440 And I just I don't get that. 0:03:07.280 --> 0:03:09.519 First of all, if I ever, if one of my 0:03:09.600 --> 0:03:12.080 kids ever dies tragically and you stick a camera in 0:03:12.120 --> 0:03:13.760 my face and ask me questions, I'm gonna punch in 0:03:13.800 --> 0:03:16.560 the freaking face. I don't understand that at all. I 0:03:16.560 --> 0:03:18.000 don't know how you do that for a living. 0:03:18.639 --> 0:03:21.160 I think you are an outlier in that, as several 0:03:21.200 --> 0:03:24.280 of the girls who are at the camp or camp counselors. 0:03:24.400 --> 0:03:26.680 I mean, it's twenty four hours later, the bodies are 0:03:26.720 --> 0:03:30.800 still not counted, and they're doing interviews on various news outlets, 0:03:30.800 --> 0:03:32.880 a right, I know, dialed up and looking nice and I. 0:03:32.800 --> 0:03:34.520 Was thinking about this last night, and I'm wondering if 0:03:34.639 --> 0:03:36.320 maybe some of it is because I've been in the 0:03:36.320 --> 0:03:39.640 news industry my whole life. And I know I'm not 0:03:39.960 --> 0:03:43.400 you know, I'm not. News reporters aren't callous a holes. 0:03:43.480 --> 0:03:46.040 But there is a certain amount of ooh, this would 0:03:46.040 --> 0:03:51.480 be good ratings that goes on that I find troublesome. 0:03:51.520 --> 0:03:53.400 I guess maybe having been around. 0:03:53.080 --> 0:03:55.560 Getting one of the camp counselors who survived is a 0:03:55.640 --> 0:03:58.280 good It's a great get, yeah, as they say in 0:03:58.280 --> 0:04:01.000 the news business, and it's really interest and compelling, and 0:04:01.000 --> 0:04:03.560 you'd be praised by your boss for securing that interview, 0:04:03.560 --> 0:04:06.800 so you would persuade and cajole in whatever way you 0:04:06.840 --> 0:04:09.360 thought was necessary to get that interview. And I just 0:04:10.080 --> 0:04:12.920 but yeah, having seen the sausage made it's it's gross. 0:04:13.040 --> 0:04:13.480 But the. 0:04:15.040 --> 0:04:18.160 Now when I see I saw a bunch of these 0:04:18.240 --> 0:04:20.880 yesterday and what is a now haunting vintio here the 0:04:20.880 --> 0:04:23.240 girls playing volleyball just hours before? 0:04:23.760 --> 0:04:28.360 What is that? I just don't get that. I understand 0:04:28.400 --> 0:04:31.040 they were alive and now they're not any right. 0:04:31.440 --> 0:04:35.240 And every parent in the world spends every moment of 0:04:35.240 --> 0:04:38.279 their life from when their kid is born trying to 0:04:38.320 --> 0:04:40.960 avoid this sort of trategy tragedy and thinking about the 0:04:40.960 --> 0:04:41.800 possibility of it. 0:04:41.880 --> 0:04:43.960 So I don't really need. 0:04:43.839 --> 0:04:46.120 A Oh that's what it would be like to have 0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:49.839 my cute little kid die. And we have all all 0:04:49.880 --> 0:04:53.560 parents have kind of worked through that day. We understand. Yeah, 0:04:53.600 --> 0:04:57.479 there's no doubt that there is a market for grief 0:04:57.560 --> 0:05:02.160 porn or horror porn. We just choose not to serve 0:05:02.200 --> 0:05:05.080 that market. So anyway, it's amazing to. 0:05:05.040 --> 0:05:07.400 Me, and I've always wondered does the market exist as 0:05:07.440 --> 0:05:09.599 much as the news things? I guess that's my question. 0:05:09.880 --> 0:05:12.839 Does the market for that exist as much as news 0:05:12.880 --> 0:05:14.080 outlets think it does? 0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:17.440 I think it does, honestly. All Right, Yeah, that's just 0:05:17.480 --> 0:05:18.560 an outlier. I guess. 0:05:18.800 --> 0:05:23.120 Well, the whole pulp fiction, true crime novels and magazines 0:05:24.240 --> 0:05:27.600 was seen in you know, like the early twentieth century 0:05:27.680 --> 0:05:32.000 as the entertainment of the roup, the more base instincts 0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:33.920 of humanity. 0:05:34.200 --> 0:05:36.120 Maybe I'm just an outlier and I need to accept that. 0:05:36.240 --> 0:05:39.839 And you know, you bring that up. There's a reason 0:05:39.920 --> 0:05:42.320 Dateline in twenty twenty and all those shows are so popular. 0:05:42.360 --> 0:05:42.880 That sort of thing. 0:05:44.400 --> 0:05:46.880 When you immediately hear about something like this as a parent, 0:05:46.920 --> 0:05:50.880 Your automatic evolutionary response is what happened? How can I 0:05:50.920 --> 0:05:53.039 avoid this happening to my kids? So there's interest on 0:05:53.120 --> 0:05:57.280 that level, certainly, But you don't have to dive very 0:05:57.320 --> 0:06:00.760 deep on this to me and realize it's just one 0:06:00.800 --> 0:06:04.640 of those freak things that happened for the most part. 0:06:04.760 --> 0:06:07.440 And you know, I definitely have them. 0:06:07.920 --> 0:06:10.039 I definitely have a minute or two to consider some 0:06:10.080 --> 0:06:12.520 of the incredible heroism of the people who risk their 0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:15.240 own next to save others, and that's good, and the 0:06:15.360 --> 0:06:18.520 kindness of strangers and community coming together, that sort of thing. 0:06:18.560 --> 0:06:20.160 I enjoy those stories, certainly. 0:06:20.240 --> 0:06:22.880 I do think we've got a problem being in super 0:06:22.880 --> 0:06:25.640 safe first world America whenever there is a tragedy that 0:06:25.680 --> 0:06:29.040 we've just got to figure out who's to blame, because 0:06:29.080 --> 0:06:32.440 we it's part of being so safe. I think we're 0:06:32.480 --> 0:06:35.800 not used to having just toured museums and stuff like that, 0:06:36.000 --> 0:06:39.000 and ancient Egyptians and all this. 0:06:39.160 --> 0:06:40.520 You know, the thousands of years. 0:06:40.600 --> 0:06:42.000 I was talking to my kids about this, it's just 0:06:42.040 --> 0:06:45.560 amazing how awful life was for almost everybody who's ever 0:06:45.640 --> 0:06:46.880 lived compared to us. 0:06:47.600 --> 0:06:48.480 I mean just awful. 0:06:48.640 --> 0:06:53.680 But you were so surrounded by death throughout human history, 0:06:53.760 --> 0:06:56.920 you almost certainly had a kid die. If you didn't, 0:06:57.040 --> 0:07:01.200 you know, you're an outlier and your neighbors did so. 0:07:01.279 --> 0:07:02.920 I mean, it's not unusual. 0:07:03.720 --> 0:07:06.599 We and it's worth saying you were suffering from some 0:07:06.800 --> 0:07:09.240 malady which at the time could not be dealt with, 0:07:09.520 --> 0:07:13.160 whether it was tooth decay or arthritis or some sort 0:07:13.200 --> 0:07:16.600 of fungal infection that itched. All the time it was, 0:07:16.760 --> 0:07:18.960 it was not nearly so pleasant as it is now. 0:07:19.040 --> 0:07:20.960 You get something stuck in your craw back in ancient Egypt, 0:07:20.960 --> 0:07:24.520 you're out of luck, for instance, but now they walk 0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:25.960 that way like an Egyptian. 0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:29.600 But now we're all so safe fraud, we're also safe, 0:07:29.680 --> 0:07:33.040 and we expect everybody to live to a ripe old age. 0:07:33.240 --> 0:07:37.000 And it's just so anytime there is an unfortunate death, 0:07:37.080 --> 0:07:39.120 we feel like somebody's got to be to blame for this. 0:07:39.440 --> 0:07:42.200 There's got to be somebody to blame that did something wrong. 0:07:42.360 --> 0:07:45.640 U's Trump's cutbacks, it's Doge, Doge cutting back on the 0:07:46.200 --> 0:07:46.880 FEMA stuff. 0:07:46.920 --> 0:07:47.720 That's what caused it. 0:07:47.920 --> 0:07:49.920 There has to be something that caused it, and there 0:07:49.960 --> 0:07:53.600 doesn't have to be, especially with Mother Nature. 0:07:53.840 --> 0:07:56.480 Have to be somebody to blame. It's too terrifying a 0:07:56.560 --> 0:07:59.120 notion for a lot of right. Right, That's what I'm 0:07:59.160 --> 0:08:02.280 saying us to unfortunate things happening. 0:08:03.080 --> 0:08:04.200 Boy, I'd really like. 0:08:04.160 --> 0:08:06.360 To talk more about this, but I'm super anxious to 0:08:06.360 --> 0:08:09.200 get to tariffs. I really really want to talk about. 0:08:09.280 --> 0:08:13.080 I mean, specific rates, untry by country. 0:08:12.520 --> 0:08:17.360 Trade deficit figures I just heard about to what the Bangladesh. 0:08:17.720 --> 0:08:20.160 Get ready for your underwear to be three times as expensive. 0:08:20.160 --> 0:08:24.600 Your socks and underwear come from Bangladesh, Ladies and gentlemen. Anyway, 0:08:24.600 --> 0:08:25.680 we do have a lot to talk about. We got 0:08:25.760 --> 0:08:27.920 to start the show officially. I'm Jack Armstrong.

We're gonna have a UFC fight. 0:08:43.880 --> 0:08:46.400 Think of this on the grounds of the White House. 0:08:47.840 --> 0:08:49.679 We have a lot of land there. We're gonna build 0:08:49.679 --> 0:08:52.079 a little We're not Dan's gonna do it. 0:08:52.200 --> 0:08:53.600 Dan's great, one of a kind. 0:08:53.600 --> 0:08:57.439 We're gonna have a UFC fight championship fight, full fight, 0:08:57.960 --> 0:09:01.000 like twenty eight twenty five thousand people, and we're gonna 0:09:01.040 --> 0:09:03.040 do that as part of two fifty. Also, we're gonna 0:09:03.040 --> 0:09:05.199 have some incredible events. 0:09:06.200 --> 0:09:09.200 So probably two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the Birth 0:09:09.240 --> 0:09:12.040 of the United States, because next July fourth will be 0:09:12.120 --> 0:09:16.640 that there is going to be a lawn UFC Championship 0:09:16.640 --> 0:09:17.840 fight on the White House lawns. 0:09:17.960 --> 0:09:21.120 I had missed the deterroided acrobats pretending to hit each 0:09:21.160 --> 0:09:21.760 other in the head. 0:09:21.880 --> 0:09:24.360 That's correct, Yes, I had missed that story last week, 0:09:24.679 --> 0:09:28.160 are you O? Huh? I like it? I like it. 0:09:28.080 --> 0:09:32.480 It is uncomfortably close to Adiocracy, the classic movie of 0:09:32.600 --> 0:09:34.160 yesterdayear but oh. 0:09:34.040 --> 0:09:37.920 Boy, oh man, oh man, they're gonna build the little 0:09:37.960 --> 0:09:40.520 mini stadium that will hold twenty five thousand people on 0:09:40.559 --> 0:09:41.720 the White House lawn. 0:09:43.160 --> 0:09:48.400 The Secret Service is thinking, wait, what oh that is? 0:09:48.600 --> 0:09:49.640 That's a good one right there. 0:09:49.800 --> 0:09:56.160 Yeah, oh boy, eh tariff talk, freaking tariff talk. Good 0:09:56.200 --> 0:10:01.640 lord hang you oh and uh, since Joe's general manager 0:10:01.840 --> 0:10:05.200 was Donald Trump peacemaker, why did we do a deep 0:10:05.280 --> 0:10:07.640 dive in the Nobel Peace Prize years ago? But we 0:10:07.679 --> 0:10:12.160 did it might have been when Obama won it, yeah, 0:10:12.280 --> 0:10:16.480 or did he Actually, that's right, he won, Yeah, he 0:10:16.679 --> 0:10:19.800 won when he'd been president for a couple of months, right, 0:10:20.480 --> 0:10:23.400 because of the promise of the youth, of the brilliants 0:10:23.520 --> 0:10:24.719 of the young Obama. 0:10:24.920 --> 0:10:30.200 He wasn't George W. Bush. It was Bush derangement syndrome. Yeah, yeah, exactly. 0:10:30.240 --> 0:10:33.319 So, Yeah, we looked into how incredibly easy and meaningless 0:10:33.320 --> 0:10:36.800 it is to be nominated. If you know, like a 0:10:36.880 --> 0:10:39.480 college history professor, they could nominate you. I mean, the 0:10:40.040 --> 0:10:43.400 number of people that qualify to nominate someone for the 0:10:43.400 --> 0:10:46.959 Nobel Peace Prize is it's it's amazing that way more 0:10:47.000 --> 0:10:49.760 people don't get nominated. I think more people were aware 0:10:49.800 --> 0:10:53.120 of how easy. More people It's like the star in 0:10:53.200 --> 0:10:55.480 the Hollywood Walk of Fame. I mean, you would just 0:10:55.600 --> 0:10:56.080 buy one. 0:10:56.360 --> 0:11:00.319 I'm surprised that, you know, Arnold Swarzenegger or whoever hasn't 0:11:00.320 --> 0:11:02.400 figured out I need to be nominated for the Nobel 0:11:02.400 --> 0:11:04.880 Peace Prize and those sorts of things, and you know, 0:11:05.320 --> 0:11:06.680 find somebody to do it for them. 0:11:06.840 --> 0:11:07.840 Yes, I recall at. 0:11:07.679 --> 0:11:09.679 The time it was only a twenty five dollars fee 0:11:09.760 --> 0:11:12.520 or something like that to nominate somebody. 0:11:12.559 --> 0:11:15.040 Yeah, so being nominated is not the huge deal. And 0:11:15.080 --> 0:11:18.920 then the winning is always very quite political. A number 0:11:18.960 --> 0:11:22.360 of horrible human beings won the Nobel Peace Prize. Oh yeah, 0:11:22.440 --> 0:11:25.320 but maybe Trump will. I mean, what he's done with 0:11:25.400 --> 0:11:27.160 is a few things is pretty amazing. 0:11:28.240 --> 0:11:31.160 There are a number of maneuvers going on read the 0:11:31.160 --> 0:11:34.079 Middle East that are worth talking about. Absolutely, the so 0:11:34.160 --> 0:11:38.160 called Piece deal that they're working on. The recent declaration 0:11:38.200 --> 0:11:41.160 by a high ranking US official that Hezbollah is not 0:11:41.240 --> 0:11:42.000 a terrorist group. 0:11:42.040 --> 0:11:44.440 They're a political party, let's work together. 0:11:45.400 --> 0:11:48.440 Intriguing, troubling at first, but intriguing, so that to come, 0:11:48.480 --> 0:11:49.720 among many other things. 0:11:49.720 --> 0:11:51.440 And Katie's got our headlines on the way, and there's 0:11:51.520 --> 0:11:54.560 one headline in particular that I am so excited about, 0:11:54.600 --> 0:12:01.439 and that's coming up next. Got a big self improvement 0:12:01.440 --> 0:12:03.080 thing I'm trying to work on. I want to talk 0:12:03.120 --> 0:12:04.959 about later. See if it's a stupid idea or not. 0:12:06.800 --> 0:12:09.839 But is it improving your gut health? No, I've got 0:12:09.880 --> 0:12:12.079 information on improving your gut health. 0:12:12.200 --> 0:12:13.760 I've been craze. I've been trying. 0:12:13.840 --> 0:12:15.440 Yeah, I know it is a crazy and I don't 0:12:15.480 --> 0:12:18.280 know if it's one of those you know, the latest 0:12:18.840 --> 0:12:19.800 it'll go away. 0:12:21.480 --> 0:12:22.480 Or it's really important. 0:12:22.880 --> 0:12:25.280 I've been trying to eat certain kinds of yogurt every 0:12:25.360 --> 0:12:28.120 day because people swear by it. You know, it helps 0:12:28.160 --> 0:12:34.040 your gut health. Ice plunges, right exactly. And kale and 0:12:34.320 --> 0:12:37.480 go lots of kale. Yes, yes, all right, So more 0:12:37.520 --> 0:12:39.480 on all of that stuff to come plunge into a 0:12:39.480 --> 0:12:44.079 tub of frozen kale. Oh boy, Oh you nipping's killing 0:12:44.200 --> 0:12:45.000 multiple birds with. 0:12:46.520 --> 0:12:46.760 Yes? 0:12:46.920 --> 0:12:51.200 Oh plates place. Yes, hey, let's figure out who's reporting what. 0:12:51.280 --> 0:12:52.800 It's the lead story with Katie Green. 0:12:52.880 --> 0:12:57.200 Katie, starting with Fox News, you asked, will quote have 0:12:57.320 --> 0:13:01.920 to send weapons to Ukraine? Trump's as days after Pentagon pause. 0:13:02.080 --> 0:13:02.679 Yeah, big deal. 0:13:02.720 --> 0:13:04.560 If you didn't see this late in the day yesterday, 0:13:04.640 --> 0:13:06.920 Trump said, Ukraine's got to be able to defend itself. 0:13:06.920 --> 0:13:09.319 I'm very unhappy with Putin, and we're gonna give them 0:13:09.320 --> 0:13:09.920 the stuff again. 0:13:10.559 --> 0:13:10.760 Yeah. 0:13:10.800 --> 0:13:14.160 I hope it's a steadfast policy and not on again, 0:13:14.320 --> 0:13:17.280 off again and mercurial, because you can't fight a war 0:13:17.440 --> 0:13:17.720 like that. 0:13:19.200 --> 0:13:23.520 From ABC News, Hard hit Texas County had no flood 0:13:23.520 --> 0:13:26.760 warning sirens despite years of discussions. 0:13:27.280 --> 0:13:28.360 Yeah, that's interesting. 0:13:28.400 --> 0:13:31.400 I got into a conversation with our boss about that yesterday. 0:13:31.440 --> 0:13:34.360 You know, all of the emergency alert stuff in the 0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:39.120 world of radio and everything else has been moving towards smartphones. 0:13:39.840 --> 0:13:42.640 And now we all go on vacation to places where 0:13:42.679 --> 0:13:44.760 we can't wait to get away from our smartphone, like 0:13:44.800 --> 0:13:47.000 those campers, and we want our kids to be away 0:13:47.000 --> 0:13:47.720 from the smartphone. 0:13:47.760 --> 0:13:49.839 And that's our new emergency alert system. 0:13:50.040 --> 0:13:52.240 Whereas when I was growing up, for instance, if there's 0:13:52.400 --> 0:13:55.560 a tornado warning, the town siren went off, that's how 0:13:55.600 --> 0:13:58.840 you knew, and right they got, we did away with that. 0:14:00.240 --> 0:14:03.120 I read an interesting piece about how the left will 0:14:03.160 --> 0:14:06.640 try to blame you know, the violations of the Great 0:14:06.720 --> 0:14:10.880 Green renewable energy this, that and the other, or blame 0:14:11.040 --> 0:14:13.280 DOGE or whatever, and how that's a load of crap 0:14:13.640 --> 0:14:16.600 because this happens semi regularly in that part of the 0:14:16.600 --> 0:14:19.200 country because of the geography and blah blah blah, And 0:14:19.240 --> 0:14:21.480 it's actually pretty interesting if you're in the geography and 0:14:21.800 --> 0:14:24.920 water and the rest. But if that is true, though, 0:14:25.720 --> 0:14:28.160 then you'd think they would have some sort of system 0:14:28.200 --> 0:14:31.720 in place that was reliable for issuing warnings, because there 0:14:31.720 --> 0:14:34.920 have been horrific losses of life there through the years. 0:14:35.040 --> 0:14:37.200 But it is a good point, though, If our emergency 0:14:37.200 --> 0:14:43.000 alert system is going to be our phones, ditching the 0:14:43.040 --> 0:14:44.040 phone to relax. 0:14:45.920 --> 0:14:47.960 How are we gonna do that? Right? 0:14:49.120 --> 0:14:55.560 CBS News Alvarado ice facility attack. Eleven charged in ambush 0:14:55.720 --> 0:14:56.800 on ICE officers. 0:14:59.280 --> 0:15:03.480 Yeah, the mill tent anti Ice activity by parts of 0:15:03.520 --> 0:15:06.400 the American left is getting more and more troubling. I've 0:15:06.480 --> 0:15:09.480 got more details on that. It's gone mainstream too. There 0:15:09.520 --> 0:15:12.960 are now big organizations, websites, the rest how to screw 0:15:12.960 --> 0:15:15.400 with Ice, how to follow them, when to figure out 0:15:16.120 --> 0:15:18.040 when they're doing raids, the rest of it. So now 0:15:18.320 --> 0:15:20.440 you know in La Trump has the National Guard out 0:15:20.520 --> 0:15:23.000 protecting the ICE guys, and it looks a lot like 0:15:24.160 --> 0:15:27.040 you know, the army is taken to the streets of America. 0:15:27.080 --> 0:15:28.480 I don't like the look of it. No, it's not 0:15:28.560 --> 0:15:31.280 a bad visual, no doubt from the. 0:15:31.280 --> 0:15:35.760 Wall Street Journal tsa to allow shoes to stay on 0:15:36.200 --> 0:15:40.360 for airport security screening. O, our long national nightmare of 0:15:40.400 --> 0:15:42.120 taking off your shoes is over. 0:15:42.680 --> 0:15:45.280 They've already rolled it out at certain airports. I guess 0:15:45.320 --> 0:15:49.000 not the ones I went to. And I was thinking. 0:15:48.800 --> 0:15:51.000 About this one. I was in line the other day. 0:15:50.880 --> 0:15:53.960 On how that one freaking guy tried to set his 0:15:54.000 --> 0:15:56.160 shoes on fire, and for the next quarter of a century, 0:15:56.200 --> 0:15:57.280 everybody takes the shoes off. 0:15:57.400 --> 0:16:00.840 Where's a phead. I don't know, had a bag full 0:16:00.880 --> 0:16:03.280 of food, there'd have been no more eating on plant. 0:16:04.040 --> 0:16:07.080 So it was just it was your reaction to one thing. 0:16:08.280 --> 0:16:10.760 But anyway, those days are over. Leave your shoes on. 0:16:12.000 --> 0:16:13.200 From the Washington. 0:16:12.800 --> 0:16:18.160 Post, a Marco Rubio impostor is using AI voice to call. 0:16:18.120 --> 0:16:21.400 High level officials. It's a good story. Oh boy. 0:16:21.600 --> 0:16:26.840 At least four dignitaries of foreign countries contacted by fake 0:16:26.960 --> 0:16:27.800 Marco Rubio. 0:16:28.080 --> 0:16:30.600 Yeah, oh, hilarious and troubling. 0:16:32.040 --> 0:16:36.040 Study fines young drivers are glancing at their phones during 0:16:36.160 --> 0:16:39.840 a frightening twenty one percent of every trip. 0:16:40.360 --> 0:16:43.920 That numbers low. That number is way low. It's higher 0:16:43.920 --> 0:16:44.160 than that. 0:16:46.160 --> 0:16:51.120 And finally, the Babylon Bee Iran puts McDonald's signs in 0:16:51.160 --> 0:16:54.360 front of remaining nuclear facilities so Trump doesn't think about 0:16:54.400 --> 0:16:55.000 bombing them. 0:16:55.160 --> 0:16:58.520 No, come on, sa, I doubt that would work as 0:16:58.560 --> 0:17:00.640 a ploy. K. You know your. 0:17:00.520 --> 0:17:03.920 Point about that halfwit jackass with the shoe bomb. What 0:17:04.000 --> 0:17:07.000 if you'd had like exploding headphones. So they have to 0:17:07.000 --> 0:17:09.359 banhead and sax, so everybody just has to listen to 0:17:09.400 --> 0:17:12.119 their audio out loud through the speaker on their phones. 0:17:12.240 --> 0:17:14.040 Yeah. Everything that is exactly right. 0:17:14.119 --> 0:17:17.800 We react to whateverthing happened, not anticipating something else. 0:17:18.040 --> 0:17:20.120 It is the way we do it. Anyway, we got 0:17:20.119 --> 0:17:21.960 so much to talk about. I hope you can stay 0:17:21.960 --> 0:17:25.639 with it. Armstrong and Getty. 0:17:27.280 --> 0:17:30.080 People have been pushing for this release, really for years. 0:17:30.080 --> 0:17:34.119 Fox News is told in internal memos circulated with indoj 0:17:34.359 --> 0:17:38.480 definitively states that Jeffrey Epstein died by suicide. In that quote, 0:17:38.640 --> 0:17:42.280 this systematic review revealed no incriminating client lists. There was 0:17:42.320 --> 0:17:45.720 also no credible evidence that found that Epstein blackmailed prominent 0:17:45.760 --> 0:17:47.800 individuals as part of his actions. 0:17:47.920 --> 0:17:48.320 End quote. 0:17:48.320 --> 0:17:48.359 No. 0:17:48.440 --> 0:17:51.439 Epstein, the disgrace billionaire, was charged with having sex with 0:17:51.560 --> 0:17:54.880 underage girls. He died in twenty nineteen inside his cell 0:17:55.119 --> 0:17:56.439 at a New York City prison. 0:17:57.160 --> 0:17:59.919 Okay, the Epstein thing not a story. Joe and I 0:17:59.920 --> 0:18:03.040 I've spent a lot of time talking about. Elon tweeted 0:18:03.080 --> 0:18:05.000 this out yesterday. I don't know if you're familiar with 0:18:05.040 --> 0:18:09.320 the clown meme, where you have different levels of clown makeup. 0:18:09.359 --> 0:18:11.879 The guy's applying his clown makeup as you go stage 0:18:11.880 --> 0:18:13.080 by stage by stage. 0:18:13.320 --> 0:18:15.000 I'm not familiar with it, but I like it. I 0:18:15.119 --> 0:18:15.760 like the sound of it. 0:18:15.800 --> 0:18:18.280 And here's Elon Musk's tweet about the whole Epstein thing. 0:18:18.520 --> 0:18:22.160 We will release the Epstein list, we just need more time. 0:18:23.080 --> 0:18:24.680 The Epstein list is on my desk. 0:18:24.840 --> 0:18:27.879 I remember that a month or so ago, Pam or 0:18:28.200 --> 0:18:32.000 Cash Bettel said that, and then yesterday the announcement there 0:18:32.040 --> 0:18:36.080 is no Epstein list. So I haven't been following this story. 0:18:36.080 --> 0:18:40.600 But that is a confusing. I think I have an 0:18:40.640 --> 0:18:43.600 explanation for it a little bit. But Laura Lumer, the 0:18:43.960 --> 0:18:47.919 Trump whisper that I think has more influence than she should, 0:18:48.440 --> 0:18:54.600 demands Pan Bondi resign. That's the attorney general having lied 0:18:54.680 --> 0:18:57.480 to Trump's base and creating a liability for his administration. 0:18:57.600 --> 0:18:59.960 She's an embarrassment, and she doesn't do anything to help 0:19:00.080 --> 0:19:03.080 Trump over the idea that she had been claiming, there's 0:19:03.119 --> 0:19:04.560 a lot, and we're going to give it to you 0:19:05.240 --> 0:19:05.919 for a while. 0:19:07.160 --> 0:19:10.240 And well in Cash, Mattel. 0:19:09.920 --> 0:19:13.600 And Dan Bongino had made a living, you know, speculating 0:19:13.640 --> 0:19:17.120 about that sort of thing. And although Bongino said, hey, 0:19:17.119 --> 0:19:19.440 look you made a great statement yesterday, I'm not paid 0:19:19.480 --> 0:19:22.680 for my opinion anymore. I'm paid for the facts and evidence, 0:19:22.760 --> 0:19:23.800 and there is no facts. 0:19:23.800 --> 0:19:25.120 There are no there's no evidence. 0:19:25.400 --> 0:19:29.520 Well, how about this is the headline from which newspaper 0:19:29.640 --> 0:19:33.240 Times or something. Trump administration acknowledges lack of evidence from 0:19:33.240 --> 0:19:37.679 Epstein documents after Attorney General Pambondi promised big revelations for months. 0:19:38.400 --> 0:19:41.040 Why the attorney general? I mean, why did she promise 0:19:41.119 --> 0:19:44.080 big revelations? She wasn't doing a talk show. The Justice 0:19:44.080 --> 0:19:47.000 Department noted a lack of evidence for conspiracy theories, including 0:19:47.119 --> 0:19:48.879 a client list in a jailhouse murder. 0:19:49.920 --> 0:19:53.920 Something untoward is going on here. It might just be. 0:19:54.560 --> 0:19:57.720 You know, Pam Bondi is part of the political entertainment 0:19:57.800 --> 0:20:05.240 complex that is Trump World. But it does seem odd 0:20:04.119 --> 0:20:09.360 that they're hiding the fact that Michelle Obama is a 0:20:09.359 --> 0:20:10.720
