1 00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:12,119 Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 2 00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:15,640 Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe. 3 00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:23,680 Speaker 2: Getty arm Strong, and Jetti and Hee Armstrong and Getty Strong. 4 00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:31,440 Speaker 3: Tag Seth said China was quote incredibly preparing for an 5 00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:35,640 Speaker 3: invasion of Taiwan, with Chinese forces staging regular drills around 6 00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:38,360 Speaker 3: the island and the use of force has not been 7 00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:39,000 Speaker 3: ruled out. 8 00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:42,080 Speaker 4: It's amazing to me what stories get attention and what 9 00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:46,279 Speaker 4: stories just don't grab people's attention. But yeah, Hexath gave 10 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:49,000 Speaker 4: a speech over the weekend to our Asian partners in 11 00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 4: the Wall Street Journal version of it certainly grabbed my attention. 12 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:58,279 Speaker 4: A little quote from Hexath to be clear, any attempt 13 00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:01,440 Speaker 4: by communist China to conquered time one by force would 14 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,959 Speaker 4: result in devastating consequences for the Indo Pacific in the world. 15 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,720 Speaker 4: We're not going to sugarcoat it. The threat China poses 16 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,679 Speaker 4: is real and it could be imminent, and saying that 17 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 4: we will allow it, it will not happen on Trump's watch. 18 00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:18,000 Speaker 4: We have repositioned some sort of anti ship killing missiles 19 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,360 Speaker 4: close by, to which China said, that's really really awful. 20 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:22,679 Speaker 2: You shouldn't be doing that, But. 21 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:26,240 Speaker 4: I mean, this is some serious bluster between the two 22 00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,839 Speaker 4: most powerful countries in the world that at some point 23 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 4: are going to go to war. I was just. 24 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 5: Reading those rating about those anti ship munitions that are 25 00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 5: so interesting. They're mounted on remote controlled trucks. They need 26 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:43,320 Speaker 5: no humans, so somebody in a bunker far away drives 27 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 5: these trucks around. They fire off missiles, then quickly relocate 28 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,880 Speaker 5: so they can't be hit by return fire. It's really 29 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 5: quite interesting. We're positioning them in the Philippines and similar areas. Yeah, 30 00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 5: the Sabers are a ratlin, no doubt. 31 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 2: As the Wall Street Journal rights. 32 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 4: In recent years, China has built up the world's biggest navy, 33 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 4: a title once held by the United States. You know 34 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:09,919 Speaker 4: who held it before the United States? Great Britain. Great 35 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:13,800 Speaker 4: Britain ruled the seas for a very long time. Then 36 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,080 Speaker 4: it's been US. Is it going to be China in 37 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 4: the next century. Well, that's what China is hoping. 38 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm not sure you'd like their placing of the 39 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:22,800 Speaker 5: seas anyway. 40 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 2: I've found this. 41 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,640 Speaker 5: I mean, I've been on this jihad for a long time, 42 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 5: but more and more open coverage of the fact that 43 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 5: we the United States and the Western world in general 44 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:39,240 Speaker 5: fell for an absolutely brilliant plan by the Chinese back 45 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 5: in the late sixties early seventies. They needed help, primarily 46 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,520 Speaker 5: financially in trade from the Western world, and came up 47 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 5: with an absolutely brilliant plan. Let's pretend that we want 48 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 5: to westernize and move away from communism at our own 49 00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 5: pace and liberalize in return for our investment from the West. 50 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 5: And this was absolutely deliberate plan. They knew all along 51 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,959 Speaker 5: that it was not sincere although there have been some 52 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 5: reformers in you know, the last several decades in China 53 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:14,799 Speaker 5: who are actually like, you know, maybe that's not such 54 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 5: a bad idea, but then a shijin thing always comes along, 55 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,920 Speaker 5: and so they duped us into opening up the relationship 56 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:25,960 Speaker 5: with China, which was bad enough, but a great deal 57 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:31,120 Speaker 5: of Left America still hasn't caught on to it, and 58 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 5: they are so motivated by the need to show openness 59 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 5: to other cultures. There's Zeno files, as I often put it, 60 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 5: they still haven't caught on the China as a dire 61 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 5: threat to the United States in our way of life. 62 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 5: For instance, on universities told the story many times. Counterintelligence 63 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 5: people came out to a university campus said you've got 64 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 5: a bunch of Chinese spies on the campus. University president said, 65 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 5: get off my campus, you racists, and that attitude persists headline. 66 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 5: Harvard has trained so many Chinese Communist officials they call 67 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 5: it their party school. Not like party school, let's get 68 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 5: wasted and get laid the Communist parties school. Oh that's 69 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 5: not as good a party not nearly. Yeah, in your 70 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:19,359 Speaker 5: rank of party schools. This is something totally different, Asu, 71 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 5: don't worry, You're safe. 72 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 4: Who is that comedian? I wish I could remember his 73 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:24,279 Speaker 4: name because I'd like to give him credit. So funny, 74 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,159 Speaker 4: But anyway, he has a thing he does on a 75 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 4: piece of paper He lists best parties. At the bottom 76 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:33,839 Speaker 4: was search party Wow. 77 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 5: The Kennedy School of Government at Hava. It is favored 78 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 5: by party cadres seeking career boosts. US schools and one 79 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 5: prestigious institution in particular, have long offered up and coming 80 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 5: Chinese Communist officials a place to study governance. Can you 81 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 5: imagine teaching Communist party officials about governance so they can 82 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 5: twist it into totalitarianism, a practice that the Trump administration 83 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:04,800 Speaker 5: could end with a new effort to keep out what 84 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 5: it says our Chinese students with Communist Party ties. But 85 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 5: for decades the party has sent thousands of mid career 86 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 5: and senior bureaucrats to pursue executive training in postgraduate studies 87 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 5: on US campuses, with Harvard University a coveted destination, describe 88 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 5: as some in China as the top party school outside 89 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:26,800 Speaker 5: the country. Alumni of such programs include a former vice 90 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:31,280 Speaker 5: president and Chinese leader, Shijin Ping's top trade negotiator these days. 91 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 5: Maybe you heard, well, we talked about it. Last week. 92 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 5: Secretary of State Marco Rubi announced US to authorities will 93 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 5: tighten criteria for visa applications from China and aggressively revoke 94 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 5: visas for Chinese students, including those with connections to the 95 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 5: Chinese Communist Party or studying in critical fields. 96 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 4: Well, remember last week that new president of Harvard gave 97 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 4: a big speech at the graduation ceremony talking about how 98 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 4: we have always educated people from around the world, and 99 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:01,839 Speaker 4: we had recorded and he got a one miss ovation. Right, 100 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:06,920 Speaker 4: Because it is absolutely a requirement of being a lefty 101 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:11,160 Speaker 4: in America that you must worship all things foreign and 102 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 4: loathe all things American and domestic. 103 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 2: Or at least most of them. 104 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:20,680 Speaker 5: It's just it's so nakedly approval seeking and so stupid. 105 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 5: American universities have played leading roles in shaping China's overseas 106 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,920 Speaker 5: training programs for mid career officials for years and years 107 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 5: and years. Other US colleges have offered executive training the 108 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:35,280 Speaker 5: Chinese Communist officials, including Syracuse, Stanford, the University of Maryland, 109 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 5: and Rotgers, where my dad taught many many years ago. 110 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,360 Speaker 2: Blah blah blah. So it's just amazing. You know, it's funny. 111 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 5: I was thinking earlier when you were talking about and 112 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:48,480 Speaker 5: Pete Hegsuths was talking about the perhaps impending invasion of Taiwan, 113 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,680 Speaker 5: and they're running those millet that Chinese are running those 114 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:55,679 Speaker 5: military exercises that are like everything but pulling the trigger. 115 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,159 Speaker 5: And can you imagine if the United States, let the Japanese, say, 116 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 5: in nineteen you know, put a bunch of aircraft carriers 117 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,160 Speaker 5: out in the Pacific and then fly planes right at 118 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:06,840 Speaker 5: Pearl Harbor. 119 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:07,920 Speaker 2: Then they said, hey, it's. 120 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 5: An exercise, just an exercise, and then they turned around 121 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 5: and went back to the you know, over and over again, 122 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 5: we'd be said, no, it's okay, they're just doing an exercise. 123 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 5: I mean, oh, good lord. And by the same token, 124 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 5: you've got a hostile communist regime and we're educating their 125 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 5: officials in how to govern. 126 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 2: All right, moving along, I think the point's been made 127 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 2: in terms of the exit speech. 128 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 4: I'm sure we'll bring that up with Mike Lyons when 129 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 4: we talk to him in hour three our military advisor. 130 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 5: Listen to this, will you the economic contributions of international 131 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 5: students that we You know, I'm primarily interested in Chinese students, 132 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 5: but the share of international students from China is twenty 133 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 5: three percent at Harvard, So about a quarter of all 134 00:07:55,760 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 5: the international students are Chinese.

I might rephrase 172 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 5: that is, don't take liberties with liberty, protect it fiercely. Yeah, 173 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 5: mailbag boot bootah. 174 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,720 Speaker 4: Kind of like you should believe in moderation, including uh, 175 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,680 Speaker 4: you know, moderation, in moderation exactly. 176 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 2: It's one of them. 177 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:41,360 Speaker 5: Yeah, he drops a note mailbag at Armstrong Egidi dot com. 178 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:46,680 Speaker 5: Jessin Wiley, Texas rites on the Supreme Court transgender ruling 179 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:51,200 Speaker 5: the other day and New York Times magazine coverage of it. 180 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,680 Speaker 5: The problem isn't the transgender folks. It's that much like 181 00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:58,320 Speaker 5: string theory and experimental jazz, most Americans can't grasp it 182 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:02,560 Speaker 5: with their dumb, cheeseburger brain. That's her characterization of the 183 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 5: New York Times characterization. That's pretty funny, and I actually 184 00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,600 Speaker 5: read part of it and I'm digging into it. I 185 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:10,600 Speaker 5: must have a cheeseburger brain because I have tried to 186 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:14,360 Speaker 5: understand string theory and quantum physics and I just cannot 187 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,440 Speaker 5: get it. Yeah, I gave up more or less at 188 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:24,000 Speaker 5: the beginning. So frequent correspondent JT and Liver war on 189 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 5: the topic of a crazy, crazy Iran. Iran has sworn 190 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:28,679 Speaker 5: to destroy Israel and all the Jews. To that end, 191 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:32,080 Speaker 5: Iran has empowered and sponsored several nation states salts attack Israel. 192 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,440 Speaker 5: Iran sanctioned tens of thousands of missile attacks from Lebanon 193 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,840 Speaker 5: and Gaza, attacked there's Raeli ships at sea, and of 194 00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 5: course all the atrocities on October seventh were facilitated and 195 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 5: condoned by Iran. Iran also pays families of suicide bombers 196 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,880 Speaker 5: a pension if their children killed Jews and a suicide attack. 197 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:50,559 Speaker 2: Many people would call. 198 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:53,440 Speaker 5: Any or all of these actions acts of war, but 199 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 5: apparently Iran didn't actually declare war. In fact, Iran claims 200 00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:01,200 Speaker 5: Israel's attacks are the declaration of war. What does it 201 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 5: say about Iran that they swear to destroy Israel, get 202 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 5: four nation states to attack Israel, culminating on October seventh, 203 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,960 Speaker 5: then blame Israel for daring to fight back. Question, how 204 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 5: do you deal rationally with people and countries that are irrationally. 205 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:16,080 Speaker 4: Saw somebody pointing out yesterday that during the Iran Raq 206 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:19,120 Speaker 4: War in the eighties and which a million people died, 207 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:23,600 Speaker 4: Iran was using children to send out into minefields to 208 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 4: try to clear minefields. That's how they would do it 209 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:27,600 Speaker 4: and tell their parents, you know, they're going to be 210 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 4: martyred and they'll be welcome by However, that whole thing works, Yeah, 211 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:35,360 Speaker 4: after the dead, So send the kids out there to 212 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 4: get their legs blown off, figure out where the mines are. 213 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 5: Nice culture. Yeah, indeed, his ps is. Following your discussion 214 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 5: about how China has so many big successful apps that 215 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,679 Speaker 5: are stealing data from every customer, I realized at least 216 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 5: one day devastating way that China could use that info 217 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,040 Speaker 5: on a coordinated attack against the US if they ever 218 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 5: decided to. China could take all the credit card information 219 00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:58,800 Speaker 5: they're supposed to be keeping safe, secret, and secure. They 220 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,160 Speaker 5: could flood the e commerce world with hundreds of millions 221 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:04,360 Speaker 5: of false charges, false money transfer requests, and other general 222 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:08,680 Speaker 5: bogus financial interactions. Imagine the chaos and confusion if, along 223 00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:11,200 Speaker 5: with our attacking our power, water, and communications, they also 224 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:13,560 Speaker 5: used all those credit cards to make bogus purchases and 225 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 5: cash advances. 226 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:15,839 Speaker 2: Don't trust China, He. 227 00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:19,040 Speaker 4: Says, that would be the most annoying attack that I 228 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:22,120 Speaker 4: can imagine. There are other attacks where I think I'd 229 00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,839 Speaker 4: rather you blew up my house or my car. Then 230 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:26,560 Speaker 4: you gave me a bunch of paperwork that I'm going 231 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,080 Speaker 4: to have to straighten out over months. Yeah, if the 232 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 4: water is shut off, the need to straighten out a 233 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 4: false cash advance is fairly minor concern. But uh, let's see, 234 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:42,560 Speaker 4: uh skip around. How about side show, Bob, I haven't 235 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 4: heard anyone mention the threat of potential terrorist attacks here 236 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:47,920 Speaker 4: linked to Iran. We've been told at large numbers of 237 00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:51,199 Speaker 4: suspicious Middle Eastern citizens across the border, So wouldn't it 238 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,240 Speaker 4: make sense that their Iranian handlers would give them the 239 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:55,720 Speaker 4: green light if they perceive were declaring war on them? 240 00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:56,839 Speaker 2: This is my fear. 241 00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:59,440 Speaker 5: Brings up another question, why haven't we heard of any 242 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 5: deporte of Middle Eastern or Chinese people? And is the 243 00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,840 Speaker 5: DHS and their leadership being too myopic about their mission. 244 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:10,800 Speaker 5: It's a discussion for another day. Tom from SoCal Jack 245 00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:14,480 Speaker 5: John the topic of Biden's military parade. I'm confused as 246 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:18,160 Speaker 5: to why the left is so outraged by Trump's military 247 00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 5: parade honoring the two hundred and fiftieth birthday of the Army. 248 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 5: After all, Biden had his own paray to US military 249 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 5: equipment in twenty twenty one. He just outsourced it to 250 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:33,040 Speaker 5: the tallyban in Afghanistan. Ooo, boom headshot. I still represent history, 251 00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:35,200 Speaker 5: Tom and sok right in the term and that one 252 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:40,600 Speaker 5: hurt right. Jay from San Jose writes on the illegal 253 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:43,640 Speaker 5: round up question, You're missing an important point. The reason 254 00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:47,440 Speaker 5: normal illegals are being rounded up in California is that 255 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 5: California is a sanctuary state. If I just could pick 256 00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:52,520 Speaker 5: up the criminals from the jails, these other raids would 257 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:56,320 Speaker 5: not be necessary. From truth to that excellent point, Jay, 258 00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,840 Speaker 5: Thanks for the note. Powlo pointing out in the New 259 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,720 Speaker 5: York Times that the Sean Hubler New York Times Reporter 260 00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:06,160 Speaker 5: wrote an article some rocks and bottles have been lobbed, 261 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 5: and there were a couple of people picked up with 262 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:12,240 Speaker 5: molotov cocktails, but the quote unquote violence has been modest 263 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:14,000 Speaker 5: and local authorities have contained it. 264 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:17,160 Speaker 2: Why do you put quotes around violence? 265 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:19,440 Speaker 5: If I smash a cop in the head with a 266 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:23,360 Speaker 5: chunk of concrete. That's quote unquote violence. This to the 267 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:25,440 Speaker 5: New York Times, Shame on you. 268 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:28,040 Speaker 4: From the same crowd that used to say words are violent. 269 00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:32,200 Speaker 4: Speech is violence. Put quotes around actual violence, that's troubling. 270 00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:35,960 Speaker 5: Let's see this from Damon and beautiful San Jose, California. 271 00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 5: Listening to the conversation about California's idiotic new ruling on 272 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,640 Speaker 5: three medals, one for boys, one for girls, and ones 273 00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:43,880 Speaker 5: for trans girls. Why not call out the need for 274 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:46,800 Speaker 5: equity and inclusion and insist on the fourth podium for 275 00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 5: trans boys. 276 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:49,720 Speaker 2: I can only assume that's because. 277 00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:53,960 Speaker 5: There aren't any newly minted boys who ever win anything 278 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,080 Speaker 5: because of the obvious. 279 00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:58,120 Speaker 2: Advantage males have over females. 280 00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:01,440 Speaker 5: In athletics, and anybody but a lunatic knows it. 281 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:03,240 Speaker 2: That is an excellent point. 282 00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 5: Nobody elected Elon Musk a big, beautiful Jack and Joe. 283 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:12,760 Speaker 5: Maybe I haven't seen it yet. Where all those angry, 284 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,800 Speaker 5: concerned citizens or are yelling about Elon not being elected 285 00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:20,440 Speaker 5: when you have undeniable evidence that during the Biden presidency, 286 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,440 Speaker 5: the duly elected president was not running the executive branch 287 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:28,240 Speaker 5: at all. He wasn't appointing powerful advisors, the powerful advisors 288 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:32,320 Speaker 5: were operating without his knowledge. But you're not worried about that, 289 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 5: are you? 290 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:35,840 Speaker 4: Another aspect of this story that just is not being 291 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:37,760 Speaker 4: drilled down enough. 292 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:42,040 Speaker 5: Jeff with a G on Natural writes, good morning, old 293 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:46,400 Speaker 5: simple Jack and Big Freedom, longtime consumer, your glorious talk product. 294 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,560 Speaker 5: Minor correspondent for subjects such as killer clowns on the 295 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:53,480 Speaker 5: Edge of the Woods updates.

But we're 298 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:02,560 Speaker 5: also not in our twenties, and we didn't start our 299 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,920 Speaker 5: journey by establishing our political beliefs. Yeah, that deside. She 300 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:07,800 Speaker 5: threw me for a loop yesterday. They were taking a 301 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:09,840 Speaker 5: trip to the zoo. She jumps in the car, had 302 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:12,040 Speaker 5: a little soft rock on the radio, and what I 303 00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:16,159 Speaker 5: heard next will shock you.

And you 313 00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:59,800 Speaker 5: see the fruit of that in things like this.

Right, Are you fundamentally changed to 472 00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:53,719 Speaker 5: a degree from that law school means yeah, because if 473 00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:55,760 Speaker 5: you get out in the world and you're practicing law, 474 00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:58,600 Speaker 5: Like if I need a lawyer for whatever I'm doing, 475 00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:01,760 Speaker 5: I can't say, now this lawyer, this lawyer, it'll take 476 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:05,040 Speaker 5: you three days to get your paperwork done.

Because the 488 00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:50,000 Speaker 5: family doctor who's an old family friend went ahead wrote 489 00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:52,000 Speaker 5: a note for a little Johnny so you could have 490 00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:54,240 Speaker 5: a leg up. I mean, come on, you got a 491 00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:58,040 Speaker 5: third of the freaking students, wow, and elite law schools. 492 00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:01,440 Speaker 5: It's ridiculous. Get to meritocracy. 493 00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:03,480 Speaker 4: Man, At what point are you not a good parent 494 00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:06,119 Speaker 4: because you didn't get your kid one of these notes 495 00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:06,760 Speaker 4: that helps. 496 00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:08,919 Speaker 2: Him gets through everything. I mean, at some point across 497 00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:09,920 Speaker 2: the line the. 498 00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:13,879 Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getty Show, yeah, or Jack Orgio podcasts and 499 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:15,080 Speaker 1: our hot links. 500 00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:22,960 Speaker 2: The Armstrong and Getty Show, you. 501 00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:26,400 Speaker 4: Could start with the question of is the DNI supposed 502 00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:30,000 Speaker 4: to spend her time producing and hosting many documentaries for 503 00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:30,960 Speaker 4: social media. 504 00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:34,320 Speaker 2: I didn't know that was a thing for some reason. 505 00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:37,920 Speaker 5: Tulsei Gabber, the Director of National Intelligence, just put out 506 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,479 Speaker 5: a three and a half or so minute video in 507 00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:45,600 Speaker 5: which she describes visiting Hiroshima and Nagasaki and how horrific 508 00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:48,680 Speaker 5: it was that the US used those weapons. You'll hear 509 00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:52,120 Speaker 5: some of it, and then moves toward her point, which 510 00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:56,040 Speaker 5: is troubling to me. Indeed, we'll give you a sample 511 00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:57,920 Speaker 5: of it. Michael, let's hear sixteen. 512 00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:02,240 Speaker 6: I recently visited her in Japan and stood at the 513 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:06,360 Speaker 6: epicenter of a city that remains scarred by the unimaginable 514 00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:10,280 Speaker 6: horror caused by a single nuclear bomb dropped in nineteen 515 00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:14,880 Speaker 6: forty five, eighty years ago. It's hard for me to 516 00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:18,480 Speaker 6: find the words to express what I saw, the stories 517 00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:22,720 Speaker 6: that I heard, the haunting sadness that still remains. This 518 00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:27,360 Speaker 6: is an experience that will stay with me forever. This 519 00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:31,280 Speaker 6: attack obliterated the city, killed over three hundred thousand people, 520 00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:36,520 Speaker 6: many dying instantly, while others died from severe burns, injuries, radiation, 521 00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:40,320 Speaker 6: sickness and cancer that set in in the following months 522 00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:46,240 Speaker 6: and years. Nagasaki suffered the same faith, homes, schools, families. 523 00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:47,680 Speaker 2: All gone in a flash. 524 00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:52,719 Speaker 6: The survivors the Hibo Kusha. They carried the pain of 525 00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:57,760 Speaker 6: extreme burns, radiation, sickness, and loss for decades. 526 00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:01,120 Speaker 5: So she goes on in that vein for a couple 527 00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:05,680 Speaker 5: of minutes and describing how today's warheads are even more and. 528 00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:08,360 Speaker 4: It is never it is like a mini documentary. I mean, 529 00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:11,840 Speaker 4: it's really really well done. The music, she looks great, 530 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:14,800 Speaker 4: it looks like a motion picture, and then all the 531 00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:17,760 Speaker 4: video behind her of the explosion and then you know, 532 00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:20,680 Speaker 4: sick and dying and injured and mutilated people. I mean, 533 00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:22,600 Speaker 4: it's like a documentary. 534 00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:24,960 Speaker 5: In art displays of the survivors, that sort of thing. 535 00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:32,560 Speaker 5: So she never mentions the brutality of Imperial Japan Pearl Harbor, 536 00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:35,560 Speaker 5: Baton Death March, tens of thousands of US troops who 537 00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:38,240 Speaker 5: died to try to win the war in the Pacific. 538 00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:42,480 Speaker 5: She doesn't mention Operation Downfall, which was the invasion of 539 00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:46,120 Speaker 5: the Japanese mainland in which our military authorities believed between 540 00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:49,280 Speaker 5: one hundred and five hundred thousand more young American men 541 00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:51,800 Speaker 5: were expected to die. It just goes on and on 542 00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:56,480 Speaker 5: about the horrors of using the nuclear weapons against japanchi 543 00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:59,080 Speaker 5: Out Obama, Obama, who did this while ago. 544 00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:02,800 Speaker 4: Or the Japanes the Imperial Armies statement they would never 545 00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:04,960 Speaker 4: surrender or any of those things. 546 00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:07,760 Speaker 5: Well, yeah, I just happened to hear a great podcast 547 00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:09,520 Speaker 5: with a historian who is talking about the war in 548 00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:12,880 Speaker 5: the Pacific and how the closer we got to Japan, 549 00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:16,800 Speaker 5: the more intensely the Japanese fought to the death there 550 00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:19,160 Speaker 5: would be. I can't remember the numbers, as like, seventeen 551 00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:23,080 Speaker 5: thousand Japanese soldiers on Iwo Jima and only two hundred 552 00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:26,120 Speaker 5: of them surrendered at the end. Everybody else fought to 553 00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:28,880 Speaker 5: the death. Pardon me if my numbers are not exact, 554 00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:30,800 Speaker 5: they don't have them in front of me. And so 555 00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:35,000 Speaker 5: the end of the war would have been horrifically bloody 556 00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:38,040 Speaker 5: for both sides. I mean casualties on the Japanese side 557 00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:42,400 Speaker 5: far beyond and the toll from the bombs. 558 00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:43,000 Speaker 2: You attacked us. 559 00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:47,400 Speaker 4: It is not our obligation to try to end this 560 00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:51,360 Speaker 4: war in a way that saves as many as you 561 00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:55,040 Speaker 4: as possible while wasting our lives. 562 00:31:55,120 --> 00:32:00,080 Speaker 5: Right exactly exactly, So what is she doing? Why how 563 00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:03,400 Speaker 5: did she make the video? Let's skip to eighteen Michael, 564 00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:05,040 Speaker 5: when it's about to become more clear. 565 00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:09,600 Speaker 6: This isn't some made up science fiction story. This is 566 00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:13,440 Speaker 6: the reality of what's at state, what we are facing now, 567 00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:16,240 Speaker 6: because as we stand here today, closer to the brink 568 00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:21,560 Speaker 6: of nuclear annihilation than ever before, political elite and warmongers 569 00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:27,360 Speaker 6: are carelessly fomenting fear and tensions between nuclear powers. Perhaps 570 00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:30,480 Speaker 6: it's because they are confident that they will have access 571 00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:34,240 Speaker 6: to nuclear shelters for themselves and for their families that 572 00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:39,240 Speaker 6: regular people won't have access to. So it's up to us, 573 00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:43,000 Speaker 6: the people, to speak up and demand an end to 574 00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:47,280 Speaker 6: this madness. We must reject this path to nuclear war 575 00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:51,080 Speaker 6: and work toward a world where no one has to 576 00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:55,720 Speaker 6: live in fear of a nuclear holocaust. 577 00:32:56,480 --> 00:33:01,360 Speaker 5: This is a mini documentary aid to convince people to 578 00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:05,080 Speaker 5: abandon Ukraine. That is the purpose of it. She is 579 00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:08,920 Speaker 5: trying to convince us that support for Ukraine will lead 580 00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:11,880 Speaker 5: to a nuclear holocaust that will get us all except 581 00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:15,240 Speaker 5: for those elites who have their own bomb shelters. 582 00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:16,320 Speaker 2: Yeah. 583 00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:21,480 Speaker 4: Ian Bremer tweeted that out and said, closer to nuclear 584 00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:26,720 Speaker 4: war than ever before possible because elites have access to 585 00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:29,120 Speaker 4: bomb shelters questionable. 586 00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:33,600 Speaker 5: Yeah, well what Noah Rothman in The National Review points 587 00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:36,000 Speaker 5: out many times we're much much, much closer to nuclear 588 00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:38,560 Speaker 5: war than we are now, so that's just wrong. But 589 00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:42,360 Speaker 5: and he also points out that, so where did this 590 00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:46,920 Speaker 5: come from? Why would Telsea gabbert In puner country's integrity 591 00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:52,160 Speaker 5: and terrorize the public as she talks about causing unnecessary fears? 592 00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:55,720 Speaker 5: It's because Moscow's not coming around to. 593 00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:57,200 Speaker 2: Donald Trump's charms. 594 00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:00,400 Speaker 5: As he put it, if you've succumbed to the delusion 595 00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:02,880 Speaker 5: that Vladimir Putin is honest and that has invasions of 596 00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:06,040 Speaker 5: Ukraine are the result of NATO's supposed aggression, then the 597 00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:09,200 Speaker 5: Kremlin should have been satisfied by now. But Trump's peace 598 00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:13,200 Speaker 5: overtures and concessions to Russia have failed to dissuade Moscow 599 00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:18,080 Speaker 5: from pursuing its territorial ambitions with violence, bigger attacks every day. 600 00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:22,799 Speaker 5: In the conspiracist's mind, Russia's stubbornness is evidence only that 601 00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:27,200 Speaker 5: American dishonesty. He is even worse than we previously knew. 602 00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:35,040 Speaker 4: I one of the many interesting things about the Trump 603 00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:38,480 Speaker 4: administration in the way he does things. You know, he 604 00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:40,920 Speaker 4: only has certain things that he's really interested in, and 605 00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,440 Speaker 4: I think the rest of it doesn't pay much attention to. 606 00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:45,880 Speaker 4: Does he have the slightest idea that she did. That 607 00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:47,880 Speaker 4: is he okay with that? 608 00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:52,480 Speaker 5: His d N There is a big internal argument in 609 00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:57,520 Speaker 5: the Trump administration the abandoned Ukrainers versus the support Ukrainers, 610 00:34:57,640 --> 00:34:59,960 Speaker 5: and this appears to be some sort of you know how, 611 00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:04,160 Speaker 5: sir blast for her side as the Director of National Intelligence. 612 00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:08,920 Speaker 4: She goes on to say, and I think this is important. 613 00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:11,320 Speaker 4: I wish more people knew this. She goes on to say, 614 00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:17,040 Speaker 4: the bombs we have now are many, many, multiple times 615 00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:21,280 Speaker 4: more powerful than those I think most people think nuclear 616 00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:23,880 Speaker 4: bomb and they think Eroshama, which is bad enough, but 617 00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:27,000 Speaker 4: it's significantly worse. It wouldn't be hundreds of thousands, it 618 00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:29,680 Speaker 4: would be millions. These bombs are so much bigger now. 619 00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:33,080 Speaker 4: If the point is to alert the world of that's 620 00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:35,239 Speaker 4: what we're dealing with in the reality if we ever 621 00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:39,080 Speaker 4: go to nuclear war, I'm fine with that. The problem 622 00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:42,360 Speaker 4: is I believe sending the message to Putin and She 623 00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:44,640 Speaker 4: that you can take land and there'll be no pushback 624 00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:47,520 Speaker 4: gets us closer to nuclear war, not further from it, 625 00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:49,640 Speaker 4: I would agree. And what the hell is the d 626 00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:53,799 Speaker 4: and I doing doing this right right? Why is she 627 00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:56,960 Speaker 4: putting out America. You have to understand how horrible nuclear 628 00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:57,680 Speaker 4: war would be. 629 00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:03,920 Speaker 1: What the hell, Jack Armstrong and Joe Gatty The Armstrong 630 00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:04,800 Speaker 1: and Gatty Show,
