Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:08,000
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center.

3
00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:12,640
Speaker 2: Jack Armstrong and Joe Geddy arm Strong and Jetty and he.

4
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:17,320
Speaker 3: Armstrong and Jetty.

5
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 4: Israeli jets pounded southern Lebanon, and despite US concern over

6
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:33,599
Speaker 4: Israel's bombing campaign in Beirut, there were a series of

7
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 4: strikes around the capitol. This comes a day after Hesbel

8
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:40,879
Speaker 4: avowed to strike deeper inside Israel.

9
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:45,559
Speaker 2: The Israeli military says it's targeting Hesbel as strongholds, but

10
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:49,520
Speaker 2: there have been more than two thousand casualties and nearly

11
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 2: eleven thousand wounded, many of them civilians.

12
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 5: Wow. I was just thinking, this is listening to that

13
00:00:56,360 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 5: because that's about Hesbelah and Lebanon, and news today right

14
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:06,839
Speaker 5: now is all about Hamas in Gaza, and it looks

15
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 5: like Sinwar has been killed, the leader of Amas and

16
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 5: the mastermind of October seventh. And I was going to

17
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 5: talk about the two front war or is it really

18
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 5: a one front war against Iran? And soon that will

19
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 5: be more obvious when Israel does attack Iran, which they're

20
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 5: planning to do. That's why we thought we'd bring Mike

21
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 5: Lyons in he's our go to guy anything military. We

22
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,039
Speaker 5: catch him on CNN all the time. I follow his

23
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 5: Twitter feed all the time and wanted to hear his opinion.

24
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 5: First of all, sinwar being dead, if that's true's good news,

25
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 5: Hey Mike, Hey.

26
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,960
Speaker 6: Guys, Yeah, I think so. It's not the end or

27
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 6: anything of this. It's not that thing will change. There

28
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 6: is others there within Hamas that will look to step

29
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 6: up take his place. But he's been the leader since

30
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 6: I think twenty seventeen. You know, Hamas has got this

31
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 6: you know, kind of set up where they run the military,

32
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 6: they run the political side of things, They have elections,

33
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 6: they do a lot of different things that you would

34
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 6: think of terrorist organization wouldn't do on some level. But

35
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 6: there'll be somebody to take his place. I think you're

36
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 6: looking at. There's a deputy leader. There's a guy named

37
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 6: Sally Aurora. He was the deputy head there runs the

38
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 6: West Bank operations. So he'll be the next one on

39
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 6: the target. You know. Israel is kind of like next

40
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 6: man up when it comes to this decapitation strategy. We

41
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,519
Speaker 6: saw what they did and let in the North with

42
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 6: Hesbelah taking out significant leadership with the Pajer operation. This

43
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 6: is much more difficult, much more precision strikes. But this

44
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,119
Speaker 6: is a good start, but surely not over yet.

45
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 5: Yeah. So the reason we wanted to have you on

46
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 5: was the news came out yesterday that Israel is ready

47
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 5: to attack Iran. They are going to attack Iran, and

48
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 5: it is going to be before the election, so sometime

49
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 5: in the next nineteen days. I would imagine sooner rather

50
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 5: than later, because the closer you get to a presidential election,

51
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 5: the more influence it would have on it. What do you.

52
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 6: Expect to happen, Well, I think the administration is going

53
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 6: to no longer put lines on our allies, which is

54
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 6: what they've been doing for the past few months. And

55
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 6: we saw yesterday, now what it was, we saw the

56
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 6: B two's coming from the US to drop bombs on

57
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,679
Speaker 6: the Hoofis. I think that's a good sign. That's that's

58
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,919
Speaker 6: that's an indirect message to the Iranians to stop taking

59
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:16,919
Speaker 6: our threats lightly.

60
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:18,639
Speaker 5: Just just since you you brought that up. I just

61
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,639
Speaker 5: saw that headline. So that's the first time we had

62
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 5: used our B two bombers are really big bombers in

63
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 5: quite a while. That's a fairly significant thing.

64
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 6: Huh it is, and and they go along way, those

65
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 6: are nuclear capable, not that we're going to drop a

66
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 6: nuclear weapon on anybody over there, but it just it

67
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 6: just reflects the level of weapon system that we've brought

68
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 6: into the theater now that we're prepared to use. It's

69
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 6: not just going to be these naval assets and and

70
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 6: other places. So I think that's that's a you know,

71
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 6: we're good at sending messages. That sends a big message

72
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 6: on a lot of levels. But I would take it

73
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 6: a step further. If I'm the US president or the

74
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 6: chiefest Staff, you're advising the president and you're meeting behind

75
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 6: doors with bbing net and Yahoo. Right now, Look, this

76
00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 6: is a generational opportunity to take out the Iranian nuclear capability.

77
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 6: And there's Reel has done this in the past. And

78
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 6: if if I'm aw, I'm saying, look, we're all in, well,

79
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 6: we'll go ahead and light the way for you guys.

80
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 6: We'll take out all the fea ed, we'll take out

81
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 6: all your defense platforms. But you guys got to go

82
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 6: accomplish that mission because the world will be a safer

83
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 6: place when the Ranians aren't close to having nuclear weapons.

84
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,479
Speaker 6: We're traveling about. You know, how close are they to

85
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 6: break out? We're watching internal Iranians argue about the fought

86
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:28,280
Speaker 6: while that the Iatola issue that they wonn't produced nuclear weapons,

87
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 6: that's a bunch of garbage. I mean, obviously they're moving

88
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 6: it forward. So I think this is the time, and

89
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 6: I think there's a lot of things going to happen

90
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 6: the next nineteen days before our election, and you're going

91
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,039
Speaker 6: to see this administration also come off, you know, the

92
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 6: rains a little bit because they recognize that that's what

93
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 6: most Americans want, and what they want to do is

94
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,600
Speaker 6: get re elected. This administration wants to get reelected. And

95
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 6: I think that's what you're going to see, so less

96
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 6: less red lines for Israel going to see is real

97
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 6: kind of go forward. But they were going to go

98
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 6: forward anyway. But I think you're going to see that happening.

99
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 5: Wow, that's interesting. I didn't know that would be your take.

100
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:01,279
Speaker 5: I'm happy to hear it. So you think we would

101
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:06,479
Speaker 5: actually use some of our unique firepower to lay the

102
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,159
Speaker 5: groundwork for Israel's attack, In other words, we would be

103
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:10,840
Speaker 5: involved in the attack on Iran.

104
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,359
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think so. I think we would. You know,

105
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 6: that would be a big step forward. Yeah, would for

106
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 6: us to attack, Yeah, I mean, but I think you'd

107
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 6: have tremendous support to do that. I think that they

108
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 6: would be support within our country and with our politicians

109
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 6: to do that.

110
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 5: Not great Britain and France though, yeah, you know, I.

111
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 6: Saw that, and where they are they're struggling with their

112
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 6: own you know, internal forces right now. But politically this

113
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 6: would be the right move at this point. So again,

114
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 6: they don't the Israel doesn't need them, and Israel's going

115
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 6: to have long memory about how they acted, especially in

116
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,159
Speaker 6: particularly the French. But with the French have done this before.

117
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,039
Speaker 3: I mean you look in history and sure.

118
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 6: The French haven't been the French haven't been a thing

119
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 6: militarily since what April of nineteen thirty nine, I mean

120
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 6: since then, since right before Dunkirk. You know, they were

121
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 6: the greatest military ever in the world, and then you know,

122
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 6: pretty much over a four day period that that went

123
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 6: away and they haven't recovered since.

124
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:06,600
Speaker 5: So well, what was it? I don't know, you might

125
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:10,359
Speaker 5: know it. I read the Schwartz Cough quote about France

126
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 5: the other day that going to war without France is

127
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,719
Speaker 5: like something going to something without a banjo. Or something.

128
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 5: It's pretty funny.

129
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, so again, you know, they pick a

130
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:24,720
Speaker 6: choose when they want to be in the game. And

131
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 6: you know, so I don't think, you know, Israel this

132
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 6: rolls arise, doesn't doesn't really care about it. The United

133
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 6: States is the one that's superpower in the region, and

134
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 6: Israel's acting like a superpower. Let's be clear, right, So

135
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 6: here's a well, Israel has nuclear weapons as well, but

136
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 6: so but they act like a superpower. They're going after leadership,

137
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:48,840
Speaker 6: looking to decapitate. It's all air strikes using tremendous intelligence assets,

138
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:50,919
Speaker 6: you know. So they're they're acting like a superpower in

139
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 6: that region. And what I'm seeing too is other countries

140
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 6: now Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Egypt quietly so these other

141
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 6: countries recognize the threat of iron. They want Israel to

142
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,840
Speaker 6: take out the threat as well. In the United States. Now,

143
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 6: I'm glad we're going after the houtis. It's been a

144
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 6: long time coming since since since we've had, you know,

145
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 6: done something about that situation. So you know, I think

146
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 6: you're going to see this stepped up reliance on de terrence.

147
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 6: We have as of right now, we have no deterrence

148
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 6: that I see with Iran, Israel's going to re establish

149
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 6: it and they're going to re establish it by hurting

150
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 6: them pretty badly.

151
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 5: Fantastic. I'm very excited about that. I grabbed the popcorn.

152
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 5: I'll be watching that and it's got to happen in

153
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 5: the next you know, nineteen days before we let you go.

154
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 5: I want to switch to another spot because President Zelensky

155
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:40,239
Speaker 5: of Ukraine has laid out his peace plan or plan

156
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 5: for ending the war. I guess he's calling it that

157
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 5: includes giving up no Ukrainian territory. I don't know if

158
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 5: he actually believes that or not, or if that's you know,

159
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 5: your classic pegging the negotiations. This is where we'll start

160
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 5: and go from there. But what do you think about

161
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 5: where that is?

162
00:07:57,680 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 6: I think he has to say that he has to

163
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 6: start and go from there first of all. But and

164
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 6: he'll be lucky to get some of that the coastalaria

165
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 6: back in the south there from from Russia, given what

166
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 6: it occupies, given what it has occupied since Obama was president,

167
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 6: and then when Joe Biden was president, they decided to

168
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 6: go after it again. They've got maximust objectives that it

169
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 6: still can't be accomplished militarily. I saw this morning also

170
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 6: that if the new NATO Secretary General speaking to the

171
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 6: fact of you know, Ukraine will be a NATO country,

172
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 6: that's that's not gonna help anybody. That's that's you know,

173
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 6: we should just be quiet on that. But then you

174
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 6: have Zelinski saying, well, we're going to develop nuclear weapons

175
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 6: if we're not part of NATO. So they're using nuclear

176
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 6: weapons as a way as defense mechanism. It's too late

177
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 6: at this point. Let's let's you know, Russia will take

178
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 6: some land back, primarily Crimea. They need Crimea for the

179
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 6: Black Sea Fleet. Let's hope Ukraine gets some of that

180
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,320
Speaker 6: coastalaria back, which is what it can use. But it

181
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:55,959
Speaker 6: looks like that part of the Dombas likely becomes part

182
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 6: of Russia. You have a d m Z set up.

183
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,559
Speaker 6: We have an North in South Korea. The wall is

184
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 6: up every what he's good because it's going to mean

185
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:05,079
Speaker 6: more conventional arms pouring into the Europe and the US

186
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 6: defence contractors are going to be happy about that.

187
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 5: North Korea blowing up those roads between North Korea and

188
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,439
Speaker 5: South Korea, which was an odd move. Earlier in the week,

189
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,599
Speaker 5: he got China with some of the biggest military exercises

190
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,959
Speaker 5: around Taiwan they've ever done, still running their ships into

191
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 5: Philippines navy vessels. There's a lot of hotspots around the world.

192
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 5: Kind of a global macro question for you, is this

193
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 5: are we in more of the like this is what

194
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 5: the world's always been like? Is period right now? And

195
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 5: we kind of got lolled into a weird state of

196
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 5: you know, things being calm there for a couple of

197
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 5: decades when we were the superpower really establishing a global order.

198
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 5: Was that more normal for the world or is this

199
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:54,679
Speaker 5: more normal for the world where we.

200
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 6: Are right now? We got lolled into it a little bit.

201
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 6: And it all has to do if we he's established

202
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 6: we've not established the terrence in these other countries we've allowed.

203
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 6: Look with the Iranians, how much they were able to

204
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 6: arm hesbe law and how mans you know, you see

205
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:12,440
Speaker 6: these pictures of those weapons, caches, those all those weapons

206
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 6: are a clear a result of the Obama administration sending

207
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 6: palats of cash to the Iranians to try to do

208
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 6: a nuclear deal. So we we again lost our way

209
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 6: with the terrence, and and so did Israel. Israel, Uh

210
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 6: probably will never forgive itself for what happened on October seventh,

211
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 6: because that was a tremendous lull, and in fact, they

212
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 6: got off to a very bad start as well in

213
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 6: that war. We knew that they would recover. But now

214
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 6: that's why they're not stopping. They are, you know, very

215
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 6: biblically they're at this is this is how they're looking

216
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 6: at this is his war. But I think I think

217
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 6: that in in Obama's administration, we lost our determce with Iran.

218
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 6: Trump as president for four years, he definitely acts tougher

219
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 6: and acts more afraid, kind of goes the the Reagan

220
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,680
Speaker 6: way of de terrence about speak softly, carry a big stick,

221
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 6: and that crazy every once in a while. And then

222
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,719
Speaker 6: these last four years with with with Brydon and col

223
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 6: I just don't know what's where they're going. They again

224
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,680
Speaker 6: they give red lines to our allies, which is a

225
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 6: non starter. They were telling Israel, we whip saw back

226
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 6: and forth with Israel supporting them and not supporting this.

227
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 6: And it's based on a voting block where in Michigan

228
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,079
Speaker 6: or Minnesota someplace. I mean, it's just we've got to

229
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 6: get back to what's important for the United States. What's

230
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:19,959
Speaker 6: important for our national security and how we're going to

231
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 6: project power, and I hope we start doing that again.

232
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 5: Appreciate your time to Mike today. Mike, I follow you

233
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 5: all the time and other people should at maj Mike Lions,

234
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 5: Major Mike Lines. Thanks for your time today and insight

235
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 5: on all that stuff.

236
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 3: Thanks.

237
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 6: I'll be on CNN later so hopefully cool to.

238
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 5: Ye tune it in. Yeah, the world was better when

239
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,319
Speaker 5: everyone was too scared of us to do a lot

240
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 5: of the things have been happening over the last decade

241
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:55,679
Speaker 5: or so, with as he said, Iran feeling free to

242
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 5: arm whoever the hell they want, and China feeling like

243
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 5: they can do whatever they want, and Russia feeling like

244
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 5: they can invade another country. And it ain't good. Wow,

245
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 5: he thinks we're gonna fully get involved in a war

246
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 5: on Iran. I mean, we would be at war with

247
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:13,079
Speaker 5: Iran at least briefly. We start bombing that country and

248
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 5: laying the groundwork. I'd be a heck of a move

249
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 5: out of Joe Biden. It doesn't fit his personality. I

250
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:20,719
Speaker 5: wonder who convinced him of that. I wonder if he's

251
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 5: making the decision. There's a good question. Right there is

252
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 5: Joe Biden making that decision? Or is that Anthony Blincoln?

253
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:28,679
Speaker 5: Holy cow, we got a lot more on the way.

254
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 5: I want to tell you about this. Did you see

255
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 5: they revised the crime statistics up again? Man? That whole

256
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 5: battle that's going on between the FBI and the media

257
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 5: and the administration. Ohether crime or is up or down?

258
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 5: People feel like crime is up. I certainly feel like it.

259
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:46,320
Speaker 5: And that's why you need simply Safe. With active guard,

Speaker 5: I got the censors on the windows and the doors.

266
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 5: I set it up myself from simply Safe. I went

267
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 5: online and ordered it. When I moved to a different house,

268
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,120

276
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 5: the music group One Direction died last night. Looks like

277
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 5: he might have killed himself. It's getting tremendous media coverage.

278
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 5: I want to talk a little bit about why on that,

279
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 5: even if you don't know who it is. And a

280
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:47,559
Speaker 5: bunch of other things on the way, stay here, Armstrong,

281
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 5: Hey yetti.

282
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 7: Liam Payne, a former member of the boyband One Direction,

283
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 7: has died after falling from the third floor of a

284
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 7: hotel in Buenos Aires. It's unclear if it was an accident.

285
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 7: His body was found on a patio. Liam Payne was

286
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:03,839
Speaker 7: just thirty one years old.

287
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, he went One Direction downm here's crank up the music.

288
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 3: Here.

289
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:10,839
Speaker 5: Here's the song from One Direction. That's the band he

290
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 5: was in. This is song is called Story of My

291
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 5: Life and the only reason I want to bring this up.

292
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 5: Crank it up a little bit, Michael, I actually really

293
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 5: liked this song. Yeah, this is a I like this

294
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 5: song too. My kids loved it when they were really little,

295
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 5: when they were like, I don't know four and two.

296
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 5: We would listen to this in the car all the time.

297
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 5: Here's the book here, Yes, and this has got Harry

298
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 5: Styles in it, right, Who's a giant, giant star and

299
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 5: a huge talent. What I think is interesting about this

300
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 5: is I couldn't have told you this guy's name. All

301
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 5: of these boy bands have the same thing. Happened pretty

302
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 5: much in sync Backstreet Boys, because Timberlake was an in

303
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 5: sync guy, right, Yes, And there's usually one person that

304
00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 5: emerges as a giant on going star. I remember Beyonce

305
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 5: was in.

306
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 8: Destiny's Child, right, People forget that she was even part

307
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 8: of that.

308
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 5: But the other people in the groups, and you can

309
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 5: cut the music now, Michael. Other people in the groups

310
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 5: often their lives go really bad for some reason. So

311
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 5: it's like this guy that was in one direction. So

312
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 5: I don't know how old he was. I remember I

313
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 5: saw him on Saturday Night Live as first time I

314
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 5: ever saw him sing this song. We watched that a

315
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 5: bunch of times. It was pretty cool, but you know,

316
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 5: you're like twenty years old. Chicks are throwing themselves at you.

317
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 5: You're flying around in a private jet and belmoed everywhere

318
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 5: and you're on all these TV shows, and I mean,

319
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 5: you're just you're the hot. You can't even believe your life.

320
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 5: It's so amazing, and then it completely goes away and

321
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 5: you got nothing. And they usually don't make much money.

322
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 5: I know One Direction didn't because I'd read some about it.

323
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 5: Harry Styles goes off the giant Fame, win's Grammy for

324
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 5: Best Album last year, all that sort of stuff, right,

325
00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 5: but you're you're kind of nobody anyway. Apparently the story

326
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 5: on this dude is his super hot girlfriend drumped him.

327
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 5: He dumped him, he got all drunked up, smashed his

328
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 5: computer in the lobby of the hotel there in Buenos

329
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 5: Aires yesterday. Then I think jumped off the balcony. Right,

330
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 5: the story of his life is splat really, Oh jeez,

331
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 5: I knew you.

332
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 8: I knew you were gonna just just jump right into

333
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 8: a jack. So this guy, he actually so One Direction

334
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 8: went on a hiatus in twenty sixteen, and he.

335
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 5: Pursued a solo career. Yeah, they all pursued solo careers.

336
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 5: Didn't do all that.

337
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 8: Great, all do And TMZ kind of stepped in it.

338
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 8: Yesterday they released a bunch of pictures of the guy's

339
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 8: hotel room and then deleted him like right away. But

340
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 8: there were a bunch of burnt pieces of foil all

341
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 8: over the place, which usually that's a drug.

342
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 5: Like an opioid thing.

343
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 8: He looks like he punched or put a baseball bat

344
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 8: through the TV in there.

345
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 5: And yeah.

346
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 8: The the nine one one call that was released and

347
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 8: then redacted was a guy from the hotel saying, Hey,

348
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 8: we have this guy. He is acting out of his

349
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 8: head and we're worried he's gonna hurt himself. He hangs

350
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 8: up with nine one one, then calls back and says,

351
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:08,439
Speaker 8: we just need an ambulance because it was after he

352
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 8: had Wow.

353
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, yeah.

354
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 3: So uh.

355
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:13,119
Speaker 5: The other thing I'm interested in is how much attention

356
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 5: it's getting. I was looking up at my TV a

357
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:19,119
Speaker 5: while ago, and Fox, CBS, and CNN were all covering

358
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,119
Speaker 5: it at the same time. I couldn't have told you

359
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 5: the guy's name for a million dollars, even though I

360
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 5: was aware of one direction. So, man, those boy bands

361
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:30,399
Speaker 5: are girl bands. If you're not the star, it'd be

362
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:32,160
Speaker 5: a tough transition back to real life.

363
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 4: Yeah.

364
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 5: See when that is over, I can't imagine it, would

365
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:37,680
Speaker 5: you know? The whole Is it better to have loved

366
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:40,879
Speaker 5: and lost than never loved at all? Is it better

367
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 5: to be a giant star when you're nineteen and have

368
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,359
Speaker 5: all that and lose it or to never have it?

369
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 5: I think you might be better never having had it. Yeah,

370
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 5: it would be hard to ever get back to normal

371
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:52,679
Speaker 5: after that.

372
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 3: Oof.

373
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 5: I wonder what Harry Styles thinks of it. We're to

374
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 5: talk to Joe maybe you've heard of him coming up

375
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 5: in a little bit, and we'll probably discuss the Kamala

376
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:08,200
Speaker 5: Harris Brett Baer interview or as a as a part

377
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 5: of the topic. He will be horrified that we even

378
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 5: mentioned the guy from one direction. That's all on the

379
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:15,680
Speaker 5: way stay with.

380
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 3: Us, Armstrong and Getty.

381
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 9: Not to mention how Donald Trump has has treated and

382
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 9: talked about America's military and military service people, calling accepts

383
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 9: and losers.

384
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,439
Speaker 3: Has diminished significant over each other.

385
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 9: I apologize, and I would like that we would have

386
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:40,360
Speaker 9: a conversation.

387
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 5: So that's a little bit of Brett bar and Kamala

388
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,480
Speaker 5: Harris yesterday from the Big Interview. Joe Getty joined us.

389
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:47,719
Speaker 5: I got something I want to play for you, Joe,

390
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 5: and I want you to respond to all right, because

391
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:52,879
Speaker 5: I'm guessing you have not heard this. This is Morning

392
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:56,119
Speaker 5: Joe's Mika Brazinski on her take on the interview.

393
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:59,640
Speaker 1: It was supposed to get viewers an opportunity to actually

394
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 1: hear her plans as president. Instead, as you saw, it

395
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 1: almost immediately devolved into an embarrassing bad faith effort by

396
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 1: a once respected host to play to an audience of

397
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:18,879
Speaker 1: one the hosts constant rude interruptions. We're designed to distract

398
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 1: from the issues and facts that Trump and his accolytes

399
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,920
Speaker 1: try and twist and distort every day, and on Fox

400
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 1: News they try and avoid and they couldn't.

401
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 5: How do you like that?

402
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 10: That's some fine panderin I mean, you can call her

403
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 10: a twit if you want, but that is some great

404
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:35,399
Speaker 10: a pander.

405
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 5: Did you get a chance to see well, do you

406
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:40,200
Speaker 5: want to tell people where you are?

407
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 3: Yeah?

408
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 10: Greetings from scene in Monterey, California, where I'm staying with

409
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 10: a bunch of buddies for our annual golf trip to Monterey.

410
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 10: And it is actually, in effect a fine focused group

411
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:54,640
Speaker 10: of patriotic conservative gentlemen.

412
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 5: Which of the famous courses are you going to play?

413
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 3: We will be playing the Monterey Peninsula Country Club of

414
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:03,200
Speaker 3: courses both of them.

415
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:05,639
Speaker 5: I don't know anything about that, but I assume they're lovely.

416
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,120
Speaker 3: It's astonishing. Yeah, it's amazing, Yeah, beautiful.

417
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:12,440
Speaker 5: Have you been to the aquarium with the fish this trip?

418
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 3: No, No, many, many times, but not this trip. This

419
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 3: is all about golf, beef and liquor.

420
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 5: But did you get a chance to watch Breton Kammel?

421
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 3: Oh? Yeah.

422
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:27,680
Speaker 10: In fact, one carload of the guys who was a

423
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 10: little late getting here, so we paused it waiting to

424
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 10: watch it, and all of us doing a bit of

425
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 10: a peepe dance waiting for them to get there because

426
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:37,119
Speaker 10: we were so excited to watch it.

427
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:39,879
Speaker 3: But yeah, so I watched it with athiduts and guys.

428
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:41,400
Speaker 5: Okay, so I had a bit of a focus group.

429
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 5: And what was the takeaway?

430
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:44,160
Speaker 3: Oh, a great deal of heckling.

431
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:49,680
Speaker 5: You know, I imagine you're all white men for one thing.

432
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 3: Well you imagined.

433
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:56,919
Speaker 10: Well, as it turns out, you know, nobody was a

434
00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 10: huge Kamala Harris fan, and nobody was terribly.

435
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 3: Impress my takeaway.

436
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 10: And again, I was just trying to watch it from

437
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 10: the perspective of will any undecided voters use this as

438
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 10: important data and making their decision?

439
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 3: Was the ball moved up or down the field.

440
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:16,640
Speaker 10: I just I think my main takeaway is that the

441
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:22,879
Speaker 10: Biden Harris record is terrible, disastrous on the border.

442
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:27,160
Speaker 3: And crime and inflation.

443
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 10: And I think she did not have any adequate or

444
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 10: inspiring answers to explain why that was in the past,

445
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:37,680
Speaker 10: and she would lead us to a bright new dawn.

446
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 5: Well it's because Brett behar wouldn't let her answer the questions.

447
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:43,359
Speaker 3: Because of his belligerence and misogyny. Correct.

448
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 5: Yes, I don't know if she came out of there

449
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:52,360
Speaker 5: better or worse for the audience of undecided voters, which

450
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 5: is the only audience that matters. Everybody else has made

451
00:21:56,320 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 5: their minds up. So whether she did or so, I

452
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:02,679
Speaker 5: gotta say, if I had to guess, I think she

453
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:07,200
Speaker 5: did herself more good than harm. She did get angry

454
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:11,880
Speaker 5: in a like a believable real emotion sort of way.

455
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 5: This was the first time I'd ever seen like any

456
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 5: real anything out of her, which I would think would

457
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 5: help her.

458
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:18,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was.

459
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:23,199
Speaker 10: Forceful, but not unhinged, and she avoided sounding like a

460
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:26,680
Speaker 10: complete moron. Absolutely, of course, is what I was rooting for,

461
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:29,439
Speaker 10: speaking for myself, and I was disappointed, But yeah, she

462
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:32,159
Speaker 10: came off as more intelligent than she has in the past.

463
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:34,439
Speaker 5: So, well, since you're having kind of a party weekend,

464
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:36,639
Speaker 5: maybe you haven't been able to take in all the

465
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 5: follow up. But Brett explained later she showed up seventeen

466
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:41,680
Speaker 5: minutes late.

467
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:43,920
Speaker 3: Oh it was that late.

468
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 5: She so they only had like a half hour scheduled,

469
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 5: and so they recorded it right before his show is live,

470
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:54,440
Speaker 5: and so there were time constraints and she rolled in

471
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:57,920
Speaker 5: super late. So he was actually sitting there looking at

472
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,440
Speaker 5: his notepad thinking, okay, well, I'm gonna have to scratch this.

473
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:02,640
Speaker 5: I'm going to have to scratch this if she gets here,

474
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:04,640
Speaker 5: and looking at his watch, and then she rolls in.

475
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:07,360
Speaker 5: And so that's why it ended so abruptly and weirdly,

476
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:11,320
Speaker 5: and it didn't have the flow he was probably hoping

477
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 5: for because of the you know, you know that was

478
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:15,440
Speaker 5: on purpose that she rolled in late.

479
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, of course.

480
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 10: And whether it was or wasn't, we've experienced this so

481
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 10: many times. A politician's goal is to have you ask

482
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:26,119
Speaker 10: one question, then they fil abuster as long as they

483
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 10: possibly can so as to chew up the time, and

484
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 10: she was doing that as fast and hard as she could.

485
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, I opened the show talking about that that

486
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 5: I feel like, I said, I don't want to speak

487
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 5: for Joe, but speaking for myself, I don't feel like

488
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,439
Speaker 5: I've ever had a successful interview with a politician that

489
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:42,159
Speaker 5: I was trying to challenge. It's way harder than you

490
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 5: think it is. If you think it's easy to do,

491
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 5: you're wrong, because they you've either got to be like

492
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 5: a jerk interrupting them and cutting him off, or you're

493
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:53,359
Speaker 5: not going to get anywhere. And that balance is tough.

494
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:56,680
Speaker 10: Yeah, that was actually the conversation after I was trying

495
00:23:56,680 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 10: to explain that, and especially you know the male female time.

496
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 10: If Brett, who's a fairly you know, large male leaning

497
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:06,639
Speaker 10: forward in his chair five feet away from her, is

498
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 10: just flat bullying her from the perspective you know, viewer

499
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,640
Speaker 10: in the undecided voter, that's a terrible, terrible look. See,

500
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:16,359
Speaker 10: you've gotta you know, you got to moderate it a

501
00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 10: little bit.

502
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:20,120
Speaker 5: How about your drinking. You to moderate your drinking or you're.

503
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:24,879
Speaker 3: Eating actually uh yes, no, no, you know how.

504
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:26,960
Speaker 5: Many times you live, yolo, You know how many times

505
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:29,880
Speaker 5: you live? I asked my kids this all the time.

506
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:30,920
Speaker 5: How many times do you live?

507
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 3: Let me excuse me, did you.

508
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:39,440
Speaker 10: Hear what Jack said, Oh, my liver, my liver weighing in.

509
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,440
Speaker 3: I was trying to be cool about it. Hello, God,

510
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:46,119
Speaker 3: dang it, I was.

511
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:49,120
Speaker 10: I was feeling pleasantly full after dinner and they brought

512
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:51,400
Speaker 10: out the dessert menu and I'm thinking, not, I don't

513
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 10: need that or anything. Dig this pumpkin bread pudding with

514
00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:01,639
Speaker 10: a scoop of ice cream and some sort of orgasm sauce.

515
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:05,120
Speaker 3: It was unbelievably good.

516
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 5: I wish you hadn't said that part. But I love

517
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 5: bread pudding in general. Pumpkin bread pudding with ice cream.

518
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:12,920
Speaker 3: Oh, it's tremendous.

519
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 5: I'll take the orgasm sauce on the side, or.

520
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:18,879
Speaker 3: Well I did. I'm still a little sleepy at it.

521
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:20,920
Speaker 3: I was groping for a descriptor.

522
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 5: That's not the right one. Oh sorry, Oh god, that's horrifying.

523
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 10: So yeah, broad takeaway, I think the football remains more

524
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 10: or less where it was on the field.

525
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 3: Although a couple of times.

526
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:37,160
Speaker 10: And we've talked about this more than once, I've come

527
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:40,199
Speaker 10: away from something like this, whether the debate or what

528
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:44,200
Speaker 10: have you, thinking, Yeah, no real points for scored or whatever.

529
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 10: But then they ask undecided voters and they say boy,

530
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:48,359
Speaker 10: she didn't.

531
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:48,920
Speaker 3: Give me anything.

532
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:52,439
Speaker 10: Well, because they're looking for something positive, not just for

533
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 10: her to avoid looking like a moron.

534
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 5: Well, I think we struck upon something Katie and I.

535
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:00,040
Speaker 5: Earlier in the show, I was talking about the the

536
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 5: undecided voter panels that I've been watching, and I've seen

537
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:06,119
Speaker 5: quite a few of them. I had spent my adult

538
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 5: life thinking undecided voters were probably morons, or the idea

539
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 5: that low information voters, so they just don't have much information.

540
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:17,359
Speaker 5: And that's not the case at all. On any of

541
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 5: the panels that I've seen. They're not morons at all,

542
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 5: and they are definitely not low information. So how are

543
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 5: they undecided? And we figured that as Katie brought up

544
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:28,640
Speaker 5: somebody that she used to date that couldn't make a decision,

545
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:31,440
Speaker 5: like it took what would you say, took an hour

546
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 5: forty five?

547
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 8: It took it took an hour and forty minutes for

548
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:36,199
Speaker 8: him to pick out a pair of flip flops want it?

549
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 8: And we went to a restaurant once and he looked

550
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:41,160
Speaker 8: at me with the menu in his hand and went,

551
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 8: I'm panicking.

552
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 5: So it's people who can't make decisions either.

553
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 3: It's a deal breaker that is.

554
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 5: It's the undecided voters. They're not low information, they're not dumb.

555
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:56,440
Speaker 5: They they're people that can't make decisions. It's if you're

556
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 5: one of those people. And so for the first time

557
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:02,360
Speaker 5: I understand it, And well, how you how you impress

558
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 5: those people? I can't even imagine, given.

559
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 10: The troublesome choice presented to us, we the voters this

560
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 10: time around.

561
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, unless you're a huge Trump fan or a huge

562
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:14,400
Speaker 3: Kama fan.

563
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 10: But I think a lot of people in the middle

564
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:18,920
Speaker 10: are not terribly inspired by either one. I think what

565
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 10: you're describing is even a bigger factor because you know,

566
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 10: you just you don't want to decide.

567
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:29,879
Speaker 5: Yeah, but the percentage of people that are undecided is

568
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:33,720
Speaker 5: shrinking day by day. It's down to like four percent

569
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 5: in most of the Swing states. I don't know how

570
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 5: many people that would add up to. But I don't

571
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:41,280
Speaker 5: know anybody who would be undecided, not a single human.

572
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:43,879
Speaker 5: So it's hard for me to picture them.

573
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 10: Yeah, at this late date, I wonder if that's why

574
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:47,680
Speaker 10: they percent.

575
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:49,360
Speaker 3: As you know, it's like triple what it would take

576
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 3: to win the Swing States.

577
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:54,400
Speaker 5: Oh absolutely, but uh, what was I gonna say? Oh,

578
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:58,639
Speaker 5: maybe that's why they turn to giving people stuff. At

579
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 5: the end, you're undecided, but that guy's gonna cut my

580
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:03,879
Speaker 5: taxes or she's gonna give me this, and you just

581
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:04,360
Speaker 5: go with that.

582
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 3: Well they yeah, they just flow throw a flurry.

583
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 10: Of of offers and enticements and empty promises and just

584
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 10: hope one of it, one of them sticks with somebody.

585
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 3: Sure.

586
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:18,679
Speaker 5: One other thing I mentioned to you since you weren't

587
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 5: here and listening to it had Mike Lions on earlier.

588
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:22,960
Speaker 3: Oh sorry, I missed that.

589
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:27,200
Speaker 5: Talking about Israel. First of all, Sinhar's dead, the leader.

590
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:29,960
Speaker 3: But yeah, they think that that's the case.

591
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 5: Okay, it's not think Have you seen the pictures. That's good,

592
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 5: that's clearly him and he and life. Yeah they're gruesome.

593
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 10: Oh but he eyes one blew this way, one blew

594
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:39,720
Speaker 10: that way.

595
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's a that's a tasteless joke, but I suppose

596
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 5: not bad considering it's a leader of Hamas or other

597
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 5: tasteless joke. Was the guy, uh, the singer who's dead.

598
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 5: He only went one direction down.

599
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 3: Oh lord, one direction guys.

600
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 5: This past yeah, oh yeah, it's a big story today.

601
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 8: For some reason, he jumped off a balcony and that

602
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:03,959
Speaker 8: was that was Jack's fantastic joke that he had.

603
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 3: You know, as jokes go, it's pretty good.

604
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 5: But yeah, well was it gonna bring it? Oh, so

605
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 5: we're talking to Mike Lines about Israel attack in Iran.

606
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 5: I missed this story somehow. Yesterday we used B two

607
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 5: bombers to bomb the Houthies and it's the first time

608
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 5: we've used B two bombers in forever. I mean, that's

609
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 5: a bit that's bringing out our biggest weapon, and that

610
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 5: was partially a message to the rest of the world

611
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 5: that hey, we have these, by the way, and we

612
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 5: bombed the houthis. But my client says, we are going

613
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 5: to bomb Iran and lay the groundwork for Israel to

614
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 5: do the rest of it.

615
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 10: Wow, number one. How did I missed that story too?

616
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 10: But now I know?

617
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 3: Wow, that is right interesting.

618
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 5: I don't know what he has good sources, but he

619
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 5: believes that the administration is going to for the first

620
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 5: time take the gloves off and allow, you know, get

621
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:03,560

00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 5: five k FTC. I'm taking this down.

661
00:31:58,040 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 1: I don't stare for this. There's GENNI side.

662
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 5: I don't support it. This is not okay, this is greaky.

663
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 5: Who's this?

664
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:06,960
Speaker 3: This is greeky? What greaky?

665
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 1: Oh?

666
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:08,720
Speaker 6: I know this is real?

667
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 3: My bad?

668
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:11,960
Speaker 5: So what happened there?

669
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 11: That was a woman that there was flags outside a

670
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:17,760
Speaker 11: Greek restaurant, and so she decides she turned down thinking

671
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 11: they were Israeli flags, and the owner came out and said,

672
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 11: this is a Greek restaurant, those are Greek flags, those

673
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 11: damn similar colors.

674
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 5: It is shocking how many countries have the same colors

675
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 5: for their flags. But yeah, how about you don't tear

676
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 5: down any country's flags maybe Irans, but we're China's.

677
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:41,040
Speaker 2: Uh.

678
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 5: And then I wanted to get this on And I

679
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:44,640
Speaker 5: actually just texted a friend of mine who lives in

680
00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 5: Salt Lake City to see if he has been there,

681
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:49,600
Speaker 5: because I would like an actual report. Hit me with this, Michael.

682
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:51,720
Speaker 12: Honestly, anytime I have to go to a gas station

683
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 12: for whatever reason, especially being an Amazon worker, I have

684
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 12: to use like facilities, I always.

685
00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 3: Come to Mavericks and I usually come to this one.

686
00:32:58,480 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 3: It's it's really claimed.

687
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 12: On the street where I work right now, there's the outhouses,

688
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:06,280
Speaker 12: but they're hot, stinky, and I mean covered in whatever

689
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 12: have you and stuff wife on whatever was. So it

690
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:10,480
Speaker 12: is nice to have, you know, just four minutes down

691
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:13,480
Speaker 12: the road, be able to stop by and have an experience.

692
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:14,160
Speaker 4: Pa Seed.

693
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:19,600
Speaker 5: We base it on a criteria of cleanliness, visual appeal, functionality, innovation,

694
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 5: and unique design elements. So tell us about that, Katie.

695
00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:26,400
Speaker 8: Oh, Mavericks. They my parents live in Idaho and they

696
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 8: are everywhere there. They are the best gas station on

697
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 8: the planet. So somebody named them the best public restrooms.

698
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:37,200
Speaker 8: The restrooms at Mavericks gas stations always immaculate.

699
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:40,480
Speaker 5: Yeah. Interesting, I don't. I don't pay attention to brands

700
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 5: that much when I'm traveling cross country, and I always

701
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:44,840
Speaker 5: stop at those great big truck stop things, so I

702
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:48,120
Speaker 5: wouldn't have noticed. But yeah, sometimes there they are. They're

703
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:52,160
Speaker 5: perfectly clean, smell clean, look clean, everything like that. You know,

704
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:56,240
Speaker 5: obviously that's not always the case you get to some

705
00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:59,240
Speaker 5: unfortunate situation. I'll remember that. I'll keep that in mind

706
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:01,600
Speaker 5: if I'm I had a big intersection, I'm driving through

707
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 5: the middle of nowhere, and you got a pilot over there,

708
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:06,520
Speaker 5: a Maverick's over here, all hit, the Mavericks hit, the

709
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:07,720
Speaker 5: Mavericks gotcha.

710
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:10,719
Speaker 8: Bathrooms are always clean, They've got yeah, I just I

711
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:11,360
Speaker 8: love that place.

712
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 5: Not trying to disparage pilot bathrooms. They might be perfectly

713
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:19,000
Speaker 5: clean too. Like I said, I don't remember. The whole

714
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:22,640
Speaker 5: public restroom thing drives me nuts in the modern world,

715
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:26,480
Speaker 5: particularly in California, since they are almost non existent now. Yeah,

716
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 5: they've almost done away with public restrooms everywhere. The number

717
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:32,520
Speaker 5: of times I especially noticed this when my kids were young.

718
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:34,719
Speaker 5: You know, Daddy, I gotta go and you got to

719
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 5: stop somewhere, and they just don't have them. And it's

720
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:39,279
Speaker 5: because the homeless people in the drug addicts closed them

721
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:43,000
Speaker 5: all down, and so they all these businesses just decided

722
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:45,319
Speaker 5: it's easier to not have a bathroom than than to

723
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 5: put up with, you know, having the homeless people hang

724
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:49,759
Speaker 5: around to sleep in there or shoot up in there,

725
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:51,839
Speaker 5: or wash their feet in the sink or whatever it is.

726
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 5: And it's so freaking maddening.

727
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:57,360
Speaker 8: I know I brought this up before, but when Starbucks

728
00:34:57,360 --> 00:35:00,160
Speaker 8: did that whole oh, anyone can use our restrooms, it

729
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 8: was like two months later they only had a counter

730
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:04,760
Speaker 8: you could go in an order and get out because

731
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 8: the homeless had destroyed the bathrooms and then it was

732
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:08,840
Speaker 8: spilling over into the stores.

733
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I've talked about that. I don't know if

734
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 5: it's still there, but is on the corner of like

735
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:16,399
Speaker 5: near Union Square in San Francisco, there's a Starbucks there

736
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:19,640
Speaker 5: and it is only you walk in the door and

737
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:21,800
Speaker 5: there's no place to even stand. It's just a counter

738
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 5: and one employee. Everything else happens behind a wall to

739
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:27,839
Speaker 5: keep their employees safe. It's not like any Starbucks you've

740
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:30,399
Speaker 5: ever been to anywhere. And one person there will say

741
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 5: what's your order, Then they'll go back behind the wall

742
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:35,759
Speaker 5: and bring back your coffee. No bathroom, no place to sit,

743
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:38,400
Speaker 5: no nothing. It's the only way they can make it

744
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:41,480
Speaker 5: safe enough to even have a Starbucks because it's Haiti.

745
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:43,800
Speaker 5: I mean San Francisco, isn't that crazy?

746
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:45,200
Speaker 3: And Union Square?

747
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:48,680
Speaker 8: Yeah, like Vaton yea, and all of the stores that

748
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:50,040
Speaker 8: it's like appointment only now.

749
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:53,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, Tiffany's is over there. Yeah, Saint Laurent's over there,

750
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 5: and a Starbucks that you can't go into is over

751
00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:57,360
Speaker 5: here because it's too dangerous.

752
00:35:58,360 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 3: Yep.

753
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:00,839
Speaker 5: Those stores you actually have too. If you haven't been there,

754
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:02,920
Speaker 5: you have to make an appointment to go into them,

755
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:05,120
Speaker 5: or you go to the front door. The doors are

756
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:08,799
Speaker 5: all locked and an armed guard outside looks you over

757
00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:10,360
Speaker 5: and decides whether they're gonna let you in or not.

758
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:13,959
Speaker 5: And some of the nicest shopping in America. Yeah, it's

759
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:16,080
Speaker 5: just nuts. And you know, and when you have an

760
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:18,880
Speaker 5: environment like that, obviously there are no public bathrooms forget it.
