WEBVTT - And Boom Goes The Dynamite! 0:00:01.840 --> 0:00:05.600 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio of the 0:00:05.720 --> 0:00:10.240 George Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. 0:00:10.160 --> 0:00:17.239 Armstrong and Jetty and he Armstrong and Eddy. 0:00:23.520 --> 0:00:26.599 So last night was a little bit quieter than it 0:00:26.680 --> 0:00:30.680 has been in recent days. The Iranians had been promising 0:00:30.720 --> 0:00:33.080 a night of fire and brimstone. They said that Iran 0:00:33.240 --> 0:00:37.760 was preparing the most intense bombardment by missiles against Israel 0:00:37.800 --> 0:00:39.200 that this country has ever seen. 0:00:39.720 --> 0:00:41.240 And it didn't really happen. 0:00:41.360 --> 0:00:44.199 There were a few explosions, there were a few missiles 0:00:44.200 --> 0:00:45.760 that were fired at this country. 0:00:46.360 --> 0:00:48.960 The Israeli Air Force says it. 0:00:48.880 --> 0:00:53.479 Now has complete freedom of operation over Tehran. But the 0:00:53.520 --> 0:00:58.400 Iranians are still firing some missiles at Israel. But last 0:00:58.480 --> 0:01:02.160 night on a relatively small scale, not this massive attack 0:01:02.400 --> 0:01:03.560 that they had been threatening. 0:01:03.880 --> 0:01:08.320 That has got to make the leaders in Iran. I 0:01:08.360 --> 0:01:11.039 don't even what your calculation is. When you have no 0:01:11.280 --> 0:01:14.920 defense and you're just at the mercy of some of 0:01:14.959 --> 0:01:20.200 the best planes and bombs that exist, I feel like it. 0:01:21.000 --> 0:01:23.440 I would suggest one thing you might do is after 0:01:23.600 --> 0:01:26.479 canceling negotiations with the US that were supposed to happen, 0:01:26.520 --> 0:01:29.240 I think over the weekend. H the ietolers are now 0:01:29.280 --> 0:01:33.360 frantically sending signals via every channel that exists that let's negotiate, 0:01:33.560 --> 0:01:36.160 let's negotiate. Lit's sen down, Kimoo. Where do you want 0:01:36.200 --> 0:01:37.880 to meet? We'll meet there, We'll be there, we'll be 0:01:37.920 --> 0:01:41.160 there early. So yeah, they understand the position they're in, 0:01:42.280 --> 0:01:59.840 especially after tuning in the news last night. Did that 0:02:00.560 --> 0:02:03.800 he took that hafern on everybody's TV or just mine? Oh? 0:02:03.880 --> 0:02:08.960 Man, the TV news got blowed up before they did sports. Yeah, 0:02:09.040 --> 0:02:10.160 who won the big soccerment? 0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:14.720 Yeah? So yeah, that's the scene in Tehran. 0:02:15.080 --> 0:02:18.160 Yeah, so Trump tweets out last night. Uh yeah, you know, 0:02:18.240 --> 0:02:21.280 I warned you, I told you so. Uh it's gonna 0:02:21.320 --> 0:02:23.560 be so much death. I suggest everyone gets out of Tehran. 0:02:23.720 --> 0:02:26.440 And everybody thought, oh, it's about to happen, like any minute. 0:02:27.240 --> 0:02:29.200 And then he leaves the G seven meeting up in 0:02:29.240 --> 0:02:31.480 Canada with all the leaders who signed off, by the way, 0:02:31.480 --> 0:02:33.440 and a proclamation Iran ain't getting a bomb. 0:02:33.840 --> 0:02:35.040 Everybody signed off on that. 0:02:35.160 --> 0:02:40.040 Germany, France, Great Britain, Italy others ain't gonna ain't gonna 0:02:40.040 --> 0:02:43.040 get a bump, and uh so Trump comes back early, 0:02:43.880 --> 0:02:46.120 but some people have speculated it's because he doesn't like 0:02:46.200 --> 0:02:48.360 meetings and it was a good excuse to get out 0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:48.880 of there earlier. 0:02:48.919 --> 0:02:50.520 I don't blame him for that at all. 0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:53.280 He comes from the real world, where you try to 0:02:53.320 --> 0:02:56.720 accomplish things, not the let's just sit around and talk 0:02:56.760 --> 0:02:59.160 and have a bunch of photos taken and stuff for 0:02:59.280 --> 0:03:02.000 days at a time, like you do in government work. 0:03:02.120 --> 0:03:03.760 I don't blame him at all for getting out of that. 0:03:04.639 --> 0:03:08.360 Yeah, especially because there's a real element of trust fund 0:03:08.480 --> 0:03:13.120 kid among the leadership of the European countries and the 0:03:13.840 --> 0:03:18.400 Canadians in the G seven. They are kept by the 0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:22.320 United States security blanket to a large extent, and our economy. 0:03:22.400 --> 0:03:24.600 They are valuable trading partners blah blah blah, but they 0:03:24.639 --> 0:03:29.120 get to indulge all sorts of high falutant, enlightened sounding 0:03:29.240 --> 0:03:33.240 talk because they haven't until fairly recently, taken a real 0:03:33.280 --> 0:03:36.200 active role in their own defense. And so I just 0:03:36.280 --> 0:03:39.720 I get tired of there. We are culling. Well. For instance, 0:03:39.760 --> 0:03:42.640 they tried to pass a resolution calling for a cease 0:03:42.720 --> 0:03:46.080 fire and a de escalation between Israel and Iran, and 0:03:46.120 --> 0:03:48.960 Trump's like, no, that's not the time. 0:03:49.200 --> 0:03:51.200 Yeah, he wouldn't sign up. He wouldn't sign off on that, 0:03:51.360 --> 0:03:54.080 so they had to change the wording. So Trump makes 0:03:54.120 --> 0:03:57.400 that announcement, get out of tran time is up. So 0:03:57.480 --> 0:03:59.520 many people are gonna die. It's too bad. Didn't have 0:03:59.560 --> 0:04:03.840 to happen. Leaves the meeting, comes back early. Word breaks 0:04:03.880 --> 0:04:07.240 that he has assembled the National security team. They need 0:04:07.240 --> 0:04:08.520 to be at the White House ready for him when 0:04:08.520 --> 0:04:10.600 he walks through the door. That had all the sounds 0:04:10.600 --> 0:04:14.800 of it's about to go down like now. And then 0:04:15.600 --> 0:04:19.480 administration officials started contacting all the news agencies who interpreted 0:04:19.520 --> 0:04:22.360 it the way I interpreted it and said no, no, no, no, 0:04:22.360 --> 0:04:24.800 we're not getting involved in the offensive like now or 0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:25.520 anything like that. 0:04:25.560 --> 0:04:26.120 Calm down. 0:04:26.360 --> 0:04:28.280 So what was Trump trying to do? He had to 0:04:28.360 --> 0:04:31.039 know how that was gonna land for the whole world. 0:04:31.400 --> 0:04:35.360 Was that just a psych Was that that? I really 0:04:35.400 --> 0:04:38.880 don't know. There are multiple layers of head fakes. 0:04:38.600 --> 0:04:44.480 Going on right now, all successful from Israel's point of 0:04:44.560 --> 0:04:47.080 view so far. Yeah, I don't know. 0:04:47.200 --> 0:04:48.960 Is that a good idea and not for the most 0:04:48.960 --> 0:04:51.239 powerful world person in the world to do the whole 0:04:51.440 --> 0:04:52.599 We're gonna get you right now? 0:04:52.960 --> 0:04:55.000 Okay, maybe next time. I mean it. It means that 0:04:55.279 --> 0:04:57.640 good or bell if the discussion was how do we 0:04:57.680 --> 0:05:00.440 get as many civilians out of Tehran as possible, and 0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:02.720 the answer is we make it seem like there's an 0:05:02.720 --> 0:05:06.599 impending catastrophic attack. That way they won't wait and see, 0:05:06.600 --> 0:05:09.320 they'll get the hell out of town. We can minimize casualty. Yeah. 0:05:09.360 --> 0:05:13.120 From for all the people who are critical of Trump, 0:05:14.240 --> 0:05:16.880 he does seem to really hate the loss of life 0:05:16.920 --> 0:05:18.120 that occurs in wars. 0:05:18.839 --> 0:05:21.520 Yeah, it's an interesting aspect of his person. 0:05:21.560 --> 0:05:21.960 It is. 0:05:23.720 --> 0:05:25.600 So for what it's worth, Saudi Arabia and the other 0:05:25.600 --> 0:05:28.600 Persian Gulf nations worried about a possible regional war. I'm 0:05:28.680 --> 0:05:30.960 quoting from the journal. Now, I've been lobbying Trump to 0:05:31.000 --> 0:05:34.159 pressure the Israelis to halt their campaign. I'm not sure 0:05:34.240 --> 0:05:38.880 if they mean it. Interestingly enough, as the Arab States 0:05:38.880 --> 0:05:44.480 have condemned the Israeli attacks on Iran in carefully cloak languages, 0:05:44.920 --> 0:05:49.080 heinous attacks, violations of international law, blah blah blah, they 0:05:49.120 --> 0:05:51.280 don't mean it. Behind the scenes, they're saying, oh my god, 0:05:51.360 --> 0:05:55.640 this is the best thing ever. Interestingly serious new government 0:05:55.880 --> 0:06:00.159 led by President Ahmed al Sharra, who was tied to 0:06:00.320 --> 0:06:05.160 al Qaeda, the affiliated organization not terribly long ago, hasn't 0:06:05.160 --> 0:06:08.760 said a damn word. He is not condemned to Israel 0:06:08.960 --> 0:06:13.320 at all. He is desperate to get support from Western 0:06:13.400 --> 0:06:19.039 countries and also despises Iran, which provided military aid to 0:06:19.080 --> 0:06:23.120 Bashar Ala Saide to fight rebel forces during their fourteen 0:06:23.200 --> 0:06:26.000 year civil war, which he was on the other side of. So, 0:06:26.200 --> 0:06:28.320 you know, just you got to be a geopolitics freak 0:06:28.360 --> 0:06:31.919 to really be wondering what's going on in Syria and 0:06:31.920 --> 0:06:33.600 what does this guy want and what's he going to 0:06:33.640 --> 0:06:37.520 turn into. But he has not threatened Israel in any 0:06:37.560 --> 0:06:40.600 way from Syria, and that's the first time that can 0:06:40.640 --> 0:06:42.760 be said in a very, very long All these countries 0:06:42.800 --> 0:06:44.919 in the Middle East are thrilled about the idea of 0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:48.279 Iran being obliterated and maybe regime change happening. 0:06:48.360 --> 0:06:50.960 David Ignatius, writing in The Washington Post, Daneman, he's one 0:06:50.960 --> 0:06:55.080 of the people that DC insiders pay attention to the 0:06:55.120 --> 0:06:57.760 most in terms of his foreign policy writing, and he 0:06:57.920 --> 0:07:03.800 is pro regime change this point, which is something given 0:07:03.839 --> 0:07:06.480 the last twenty five years of US history. 0:07:07.000 --> 0:07:11.160 Yeah, it's a horrible, evil, sucky regime on every single level. 0:07:11.520 --> 0:07:17.360 Human rights, economics, foreign relations, its priorities, while the Iranian 0:07:17.400 --> 0:07:23.840 people were having crappy and declining standards of living the Mullahs. 0:07:23.920 --> 0:07:27.200 Instead of you know, making a more conventional army, we're 0:07:27.200 --> 0:07:29.720 farming out billions and billions of billions of dollars every 0:07:29.720 --> 0:07:33.720 single year to hasblon Hamas and some other notable proxies. 0:07:34.320 --> 0:07:36.520 It's a terrible way to run a country. Anyway, they 0:07:36.520 --> 0:07:39.200 should go. But I found this very very interesting, putting 0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:42.600 politics aside for a moment. The New York Times, who 0:07:42.600 --> 0:07:46.400 I was just shaming because they're shamelessly biased. When they 0:07:46.400 --> 0:07:49.240 get away from bias, they do really good reporting. For instance, 0:07:49.760 --> 0:07:54.840 this how missile defense works and why it fails, talk 0:07:54.880 --> 0:07:57.520 about Israel and Iran and even the world's best defenses 0:07:57.560 --> 0:08:00.680 can't always stop them. And I just found this very interesting. 0:08:00.680 --> 0:08:01.360 I hope you do too. 0:08:01.480 --> 0:08:04.080 Yeah, over the weekend, about fifteen percent of the missiles 0:08:04.120 --> 0:08:05.239 and drones got through. 0:08:06.240 --> 0:08:09.640 Yeah. So, once a ballistic missile is fired into the air, 0:08:09.680 --> 0:08:12.640 and that's ballistic, remember like a ballistic report in a 0:08:12.680 --> 0:08:15.680 cop show, it's a bullet. It's a missile. Like a bullet, 0:08:15.880 --> 0:08:20.520 it travels a very predictable parabolic path. It's not a 0:08:20.600 --> 0:08:24.480 maneuverable weapon anyway. Once a ballistic missile is fired in 0:08:24.520 --> 0:08:27.320 the air, the defender has only minutes to identify its 0:08:27.320 --> 0:08:30.800 precise trajectory and try to shoot it down the target. 0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:34.040 An enemy warhead is inside an object about the side 0:08:34.040 --> 0:08:37.160 of a size of a car that typically flies through 0:08:37.200 --> 0:08:40.440 the edge of space at many times the speed of sound. 0:08:41.240 --> 0:08:43.240 I've heard it described as trying to hit a bullet 0:08:43.280 --> 0:08:47.280 with another bullet. The world's most advanced missile defense systems 0:08:47.320 --> 0:08:49.600 deployed by Israel in the US stop some of the 0:08:49.600 --> 0:08:52.840 missiles missiles, as Jack pointed out, not all of them. 0:08:53.360 --> 0:08:57.080 And here's why stopping a ballistic missile attack is so difficult. 0:08:57.760 --> 0:09:00.480 Ballistic missiles like the ones being fired by Iron escape 0:09:00.520 --> 0:09:03.120 the atmosphere and accelerate to great speeds as they fall 0:09:03.120 --> 0:09:07.079 back down to Earth. It takes about twelve minutes start 0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:09.360 to finish to fire them and get to their target 0:09:09.400 --> 0:09:12.040 in Israel from around, it's far less time to make 0:09:12.040 --> 0:09:16.439 critical decisions about how to stop them within seconds. And 0:09:16.840 --> 0:09:19.960 how these systems interlock was so cool to me because 0:09:20.200 --> 0:09:24.160 I think most of us think, all right, yeah, they 0:09:24.200 --> 0:09:27.040 shoot a missile and we've got sensors and then we 0:09:27.120 --> 0:09:31.320 send something up to shoot it down, which is essentially accurate, 0:09:31.360 --> 0:09:34.560 but this is more specific. So within seconds of launch, 0:09:34.760 --> 0:09:38.360 satellites must detect a heat signature given off by a missile. 0:09:38.400 --> 0:09:41.800 Launch radars then find the missile and try to calculate 0:09:41.880 --> 0:09:46.000 its exact course. A defensive missile called an interceptor must 0:09:46.000 --> 0:09:49.199 be fired soon after that to reach the incoming missile 0:09:49.280 --> 0:09:52.240 in time. That's all hard enough with one missile, but 0:09:52.280 --> 0:09:55.320 Iran has been firing a large volley of them. The 0:09:55.360 --> 0:09:58.920 goal appears to be to overwhelm Israeli defenses, partly because 0:09:59.000 --> 0:10:03.120 radars can only track so many targets at once, and launchers, 0:10:03.200 --> 0:10:05.880 once emptied, may need a half an hour or more 0:10:05.920 --> 0:10:09.280 to reload. Didn't know that, Yeah, yeah, so there are 0:10:09.320 --> 0:10:14.040 limits on quantity obviously. Beyond that, if they're concerned about 0:10:14.040 --> 0:10:17.120 future attacks, targeted countries may also need to make critical 0:10:17.160 --> 0:10:21.679 split second decisions to reserve valuable interceptors only for the 0:10:21.720 --> 0:10:25.320 incoming missiles that appear likely to do the most damaging. 0:10:25.480 --> 0:10:27.640 Right, you don't want to use your best stuff on 0:10:28.840 --> 0:10:31.439 some flying object that isn't going to do that much 0:10:31.559 --> 0:10:33.719 damage and miss the one that's going to wipe out 0:10:33.720 --> 0:10:34.840 an entire apartment building. 0:10:35.400 --> 0:10:38.240 Yeah, if I'm you know, if I'm the aggressor and 0:10:38.280 --> 0:10:41.880 I've got like class AB and C missile C being 0:10:41.960 --> 0:10:44.480 the most devastating ones, I'm going to send up a 0:10:44.520 --> 0:10:46.240 hell of a lot of a's and b's and try 0:10:46.280 --> 0:10:52.120 to occupy their missile defense. So, Israel's best known defense system, 0:10:52.160 --> 0:10:55.040 the Iron Dome, was built to stop short range rockets, 0:10:55.360 --> 0:10:57.840 and is too slow and limited when it comes to 0:10:57.920 --> 0:11:01.920 ballistic missiles. For that, Israel relies on several more advanced 0:11:01.960 --> 0:11:04.839 layers of defense designed to counter ballistic missiles at different 0:11:04.840 --> 0:11:08.559 stages of flight. The most advanced systems, long range interceptors 0:11:08.600 --> 0:11:13.120 like the Arrow three, operate in space, where ballistic missiles 0:11:13.120 --> 0:11:15.360 like those in Iran spend most of their time. They're 0:11:15.400 --> 0:11:17.720 the first chance to stop a missile, but high above 0:11:17.720 --> 0:11:22.200 the atmosphere there's room for error. Both an interceptor and 0:11:22.240 --> 0:11:25.480 an enemy missile shed the boosters that power them into space, 0:11:25.960 --> 0:11:30.160 and so they're just two smaller vehicles remain hurtling toward 0:11:30.240 --> 0:11:33.679 each other. The interceptor seeks a direct hit to destroy 0:11:33.760 --> 0:11:37.360 the warhead. It has sensors to track the enemy missile 0:11:37.400 --> 0:11:39.720 and thrusters to move it toward it, but by the 0:11:39.760 --> 0:11:42.400 time the interceptor senses a target a mile away, it 0:11:42.480 --> 0:11:44.680 has only a split second to adjust. 0:11:45.280 --> 0:11:48.680 It's amazingology here boggles the mine. Yeah, and it's amazing 0:11:48.720 --> 0:11:52.000 they shoot down as many as they do. And keep 0:11:52.040 --> 0:11:54.360 in mind to Ron's missiles. 0:11:54.400 --> 0:11:56.800 The ones they're sending over right now, it's like the 0:11:56.800 --> 0:11:59.800 best generation of them are only about three feet wide 0:12:00.200 --> 0:12:02.280 at the base. By the time they get rid of 0:12:02.280 --> 0:12:04.800 their booster and they're in space and they're traveling two 0:12:04.840 --> 0:12:10.719 miles a second. Try to hit that. Good lord, if 0:12:10.760 --> 0:12:13.600 that wasn't hard enough, some ballistic missiles carry decoys to 0:12:13.679 --> 0:12:16.760 trick the interceptor to brie left over from the boosters 0:12:16.760 --> 0:12:19.679 can also confuse it, and then you know, we can. 0:12:19.800 --> 0:12:21.720 We'll post this at Armstrong and getty dot com if 0:12:21.760 --> 0:12:23.560 you really want to dig into it, because there's even 0:12:23.679 --> 0:12:27.840 more the various layers of systems that interlock. But good lord, 0:12:28.000 --> 0:12:33.160 physics and science coming together in military applications, it's just 0:12:33.240 --> 0:12:35.200 it's crazy sophisticating. 0:12:35.280 --> 0:12:37.080 I mentioned this before we take a break. I was 0:12:37.120 --> 0:12:40.959 listening to the Telegraphs Ukraine podcast yesterday I usually get 0:12:40.960 --> 0:12:43.800 the update and they said, just would like to point 0:12:43.800 --> 0:12:48.880 out this was a couple of days ago. While Iran 0:12:49.080 --> 0:12:55.240 sent one hundred missiles toward tel Aviv, Russia just sent 0:12:55.440 --> 0:12:59.680 four times that many missiles toward Kiev, and nobody's talking 0:12:59.720 --> 0:13:04.760 about which is an interesting point, right because people are people, 0:13:06.240 --> 0:13:10.640 very similar dynamics involved in terms of really bad guys. 0:13:10.840 --> 0:13:15.320 Getting both conflicts could have huge pivotal effects on history. 0:13:15.440 --> 0:13:18.079 Sure we got a lot more on the way. That 0:13:18.160 --> 0:13:22.400 doctor involved with Matthew Perry is going to plead guilty 0:13:22.440 --> 0:13:24.440 in court today, So he must have been up against 0:13:24.480 --> 0:13:27.959 it to be willing to plead guilty to whatever he's 0:13:27.960 --> 0:13:30.520 being charged with. I'll look into that, among other things. 0:13:30.600 --> 0:13:33.280 You killed Chandler. You deserve to go to prison. 0:13:33.480 --> 0:13:33.960 Stay tuned. 0:13:37.800 --> 0:13:40.719 Singer Lee Greenwood perform God Bless the USA over the 0:13:40.760 --> 0:13:42.640 weekend at President Trump's military parade. 0:13:42.679 --> 0:13:43.079 Oh did he? 0:13:43.280 --> 0:13:45.360 Did anyone think he was gonna go up there and 0:13:45.400 --> 0:13:46.800 be like, here's one of the. 0:13:46.760 --> 0:13:47.679 New album. 0:13:52.360 --> 0:13:58.920 Lee's Dreams. Yes, here's here's one of my new songs. 0:13:58.920 --> 0:14:06.760 I've never met someone like two, three, four, Okay, see, uh, 0:14:06.920 --> 0:14:10.120 you get paid for that. I think most places he 0:14:10.160 --> 0:14:12.320 probably does the Trump stuff for free to keep the 0:14:12.320 --> 0:14:14.480 brand out. In the old days, you'd be willing to 0:14:14.559 --> 0:14:16.520 do it just because you'd sell a lot of the records, 0:14:16.520 --> 0:14:19.960 but you can't make money on that anymore. So uh, yeah, 0:14:20.000 --> 0:14:23.800 you must be getting paid well where it helps his concerts. 0:14:24.320 --> 0:14:25.440 I don't know, that's a good question. 0:14:25.480 --> 0:14:27.400 I think it's the latter, probably something like that. 0:14:27.880 --> 0:14:29.720 So, uh, I don't know if you know this. I 0:14:29.760 --> 0:14:31.400 speak Persian, so that's very handy. 0:14:32.120 --> 0:14:32.360 Uh. 0:14:32.440 --> 0:14:37.080 The newscaster in Iran who got blowed up while she 0:14:37.240 --> 0:14:40.320 was doing the news last night, I should have translated 0:14:40.360 --> 0:14:42.280 that when we ran it earlier. Go ahead, Michael, I'm 0:14:42.960 --> 0:14:45.520 here's the charity. The Oklahoma City Thunder took a three 0:14:45.560 --> 0:14:48.320 to two lead in the NBA playoffs last night, holding 0:14:48.360 --> 0:14:55.200 off those dollars. She was doing sports. She was doing 0:14:55.240 --> 0:14:56.880 sports when we missiled. 0:14:56.560 --> 0:15:02.320 Her from downtown and goes the dynamite. 0:15:03.640 --> 0:15:09.200 Literally, boy, coming up, what are the Because you got 0:15:09.200 --> 0:15:12.360 a lot of cops graduates out there right now, you know, 0:15:12.640 --> 0:15:16.240 dun dun, dun dud. As we look forward, while we 0:15:16.280 --> 0:15:21.200 look back, they what majors pay the most or the least. 0:15:21.480 --> 0:15:23.400 As you head out into the workplace, we'll hitch you 0:15:23.400 --> 0:15:26.360 with that list. It's good. It's fun. Every single year well, 0:15:26.360 --> 0:15:31.520 I hope gender Studies is toward the top counting on it. 0:15:33.720 --> 0:15:37.160 FBI put out a warning yesterday, urgent warning to one 0:15:37.240 --> 0:15:41.280 hundred and fifty million iPhone users. Why I'm an iPhone user? Wow, 0:15:42.200 --> 0:15:44.760 delete this text as soon as you get it. The 0:15:44.840 --> 0:15:47.840 most popular scam that seems to be working right now 0:15:48.840 --> 0:15:51.920 is all kinds of stuff claiming to be from the DMV. 0:15:52.840 --> 0:15:53.960 They look very legit. 0:15:54.160 --> 0:15:57.960 They have your whatever state you're in, the logo and 0:15:58.000 --> 0:15:59.680 all that sort of stuff telling you if you don't 0:15:59.680 --> 0:16:02.840 pay your unpaid toll or fine, he'd be subjected to 0:16:02.920 --> 0:16:06.640 having your driver privileges revoked, possible jail time, blah blah 0:16:06.680 --> 0:16:09.400 blah blah blah. And so don't fall for that one, 0:16:10.360 --> 0:16:12.760 which of course is a real drag because like I 0:16:12.800 --> 0:16:16.040 had a situation not that long ago, like the toll 0:16:16.080 --> 0:16:19.640 system around here, to drive on the tolls in the 0:16:19.640 --> 0:16:24.120 Bay Area. I got some text saying you haven't paid 0:16:24.160 --> 0:16:27.320 your tolls. Well, that was a big scam, like a 0:16:27.400 --> 0:16:30.000 year ago, so I was ignoring those. It turned out 0:16:30.040 --> 0:16:32.280 this one was real. It was behind on one of 0:16:32.280 --> 0:16:34.440 my tolls, or my thing had run out or something. 0:16:34.560 --> 0:16:37.280 The last time I drove through my electronic thing, and 0:16:37.280 --> 0:16:38.520 I got in all kinds of trouble and it was 0:16:38.520 --> 0:16:39.560 a pain in the ass to fix it. 0:16:39.640 --> 0:16:40.600 What are you supposed to do? 0:16:41.000 --> 0:16:43.080 I supposed to supposed to go to their website and 0:16:43.120 --> 0:16:45.120 try to look it up or call somebody. That's a 0:16:45.120 --> 0:16:47.480 lot of work every time he got spam, fake email 0:16:47.560 --> 0:16:47.960 or text. 0:16:48.640 --> 0:16:50.720 Somewhere in America, there's a guy who got a text 0:16:50.720 --> 0:16:53.120 that he missed jury duty and he oa fine. He said, 0:16:53.160 --> 0:16:55.200 I'm not paying that fine. This is a scam. And 0:16:55.200 --> 0:16:57.200 then the cops came and he said, you're not cops. 0:16:57.200 --> 0:16:59.360 This is a scam. Then they took him to jail, 0:16:59.360 --> 0:17:01.240 and he's saying to the other inmate, say this is 0:17:01.280 --> 0:17:01.960 all a scam. 0:17:02.080 --> 0:17:05.840 You wait and say, but he actually missie duty, right, 0:17:06.600 --> 0:17:11.240 oh man, that's a drag. Top paying college majors, least 0:17:11.680 --> 0:17:13.520 paying college majors, among other things. 0:17:13.560 --> 0:17:17.639 On the way, hope you can stay here, armstrong and getty. 0:17:19.040 --> 0:17:21.879 Otani kicks and throws, and off we go with a 0:17:21.920 --> 0:17:26.000 bouncing ball foul ninety eight on Otani's first pitch. Here's 0:17:26.040 --> 0:17:30.480 this payoff popped into center field. Pahes coming on dive 0:17:30.520 --> 0:17:32.880 in a Tempa can't get there and it's a blue 0:17:32.880 --> 0:17:34.480 pit for Tatis that. 0:17:34.680 --> 0:17:36.119 Things keep happening for Sati. 0:17:36.320 --> 0:17:38.080 This jammed on the ninety nine. 0:17:38.000 --> 0:17:40.320 Out for our fastball, but is able to dump it 0:17:40.480 --> 0:17:41.680 right in front of PA has. 0:17:41.560 --> 0:17:42.240 Eat off Man. 0:17:42.280 --> 0:17:45.439 That's enough thought inside baseball for US general fans. 0:17:45.440 --> 0:17:45.960 But show hey. 0:17:45.960 --> 0:17:50.200 Otani returned to pitching for the first time as a Dodger, 0:17:50.280 --> 0:17:53.200 pitched one inning through one hundred and point two mile 0:17:53.240 --> 0:17:55.800 an hour pitch. At one point as just reading an 0:17:55.920 --> 0:17:58.960 LA Times columnist who said that should not be possible 0:17:59.600 --> 0:18:01.800 physical for a guy of his bill to throw one 0:18:01.840 --> 0:18:05.040 hundred mile an hour pitch. And he's also one of 0:18:05.080 --> 0:18:07.600 the greatest hitters out there, and so there you go. 0:18:07.720 --> 0:18:10.160 We'll see how he You know, what's interesting is. 0:18:12.280 --> 0:18:14.919 The NBA Finals going on right now between Indiana and 0:18:14.920 --> 0:18:17.200 Oklahoma City. I realize, unless you're not an NBA fan, 0:18:17.200 --> 0:18:19.320 you're not paying attention, and even a lot of NBA 0:18:19.359 --> 0:18:21.240 fans aren't because they're tiny markets that don't have a 0:18:21.280 --> 0:18:22.600 huge national following. 0:18:22.520 --> 0:18:24.040 At least in the National League. 0:18:24.080 --> 0:18:27.000 In baseball, right now, your three first place teams in 0:18:27.040 --> 0:18:31.640 the three divisions Dodgers, Cubs, Mets. That's the exact opposite 0:18:31.760 --> 0:18:35.320 the biggest markets with the biggest national following in the country. 0:18:35.600 --> 0:18:39.200 So there you go. Boy, the Mets not sucking maybe 0:18:39.200 --> 0:18:41.640 one of the signs of the apocalypse. You think, I'm 0:18:41.640 --> 0:18:43.200 beginning to take it seriously. 0:18:45.760 --> 0:18:48.960 Yankees and Detroit Tigers also in the American League, So yeah, 0:18:49.000 --> 0:18:51.800 baseball's got the opposite situation with the biggest, you know, 0:18:51.880 --> 0:18:55.040 splashest franchises at the top. Of course, it's very, very early, 0:18:55.200 --> 0:19:00.000 and that's enough of that by far. Uh. Tucker Carlson 0:19:00.160 --> 0:19:03.040 and Steve Bannon talking to each other on each other's podcast, 0:19:03.080 --> 0:19:04.560 and we got some of the highlights of that. 0:19:04.680 --> 0:19:06.440 It's a heck of a good thought starter. 0:19:06.560 --> 0:19:08.159 Maybe we'll get to that in an hour three of 0:19:08.160 --> 0:19:10.399 The Armstrong and Getty Show. But as we all know, 0:19:10.680 --> 0:19:14.240 many college graduates are walking across the stage to get 0:19:14.240 --> 0:19:19.000 their diploma and shake hands and bad mouth Israel and 0:19:19.240 --> 0:19:21.320 hate America and a variety of other things that college 0:19:21.320 --> 0:19:21.919 graduates do. 0:19:22.600 --> 0:19:23.320 Ah good times. 0:19:23.359 --> 0:19:25.680 And this list comes out every single year. What are 0:19:25.720 --> 0:19:28.720 the highest paying majors in the lowest paying majors out there? 0:19:28.800 --> 0:19:30.520 Do you want highest first or lowest first? 0:19:30.880 --> 0:19:35.760 Come on, Queer Studies, Come on, Queer Studies, We'll count 0:19:35.800 --> 0:19:39.440 up your top five majors. Yeah, there you go. Let's 0:19:39.440 --> 0:19:41.359 start with the winners jack. 0:19:41.240 --> 0:19:45.040 Highest paying majors. Now, this has been the same for 0:19:45.080 --> 0:19:51.880 many years in my lifetime. They're all engineers of one 0:19:51.920 --> 0:19:54.439 sort of another. All of the top five chemical engineer, 0:19:54.680 --> 0:19:58.840 computer engineer, nuclear engineer, naval architecture, and marine engineer. 0:19:58.840 --> 0:20:00.400 And at the top PATROLLI. 0:20:00.160 --> 0:20:03.560 Engineer that will make an average one hundred and eight 0:20:03.600 --> 0:20:06.919 thousand dollars straight out of school with a four year degree. 0:20:07.560 --> 0:20:09.440 I don't know what kind of engineer my son's math 0:20:09.480 --> 0:20:12.200 tutor was, but he was an engineering student. Super nice, 0:20:12.240 --> 0:20:17.920 super sharp guy. But the thing with this is it's 0:20:17.960 --> 0:20:21.919 not like it's funny to la Times and their story 0:20:21.920 --> 0:20:24.840 about this, their opening paragraph was about this kid who 0:20:25.160 --> 0:20:29.680 he'd been trying to decide between art history or something else, 0:20:30.160 --> 0:20:33.880 but decided on biology because he heard that medical fields 0:20:33.880 --> 0:20:36.760 pay well. Halfway through the year, though, he got bored 0:20:36.760 --> 0:20:38.920 with some of his chemistry classes and thought, I don't 0:20:38.920 --> 0:20:40.560 know if I want to spend ten years learning to 0:20:40.560 --> 0:20:44.040 be a doctor. These aren't the kind of majors you 0:20:44.040 --> 0:20:47.520 don't choose between art history and being a doctor. That's 0:20:47.600 --> 0:20:50.679 not based on which is going to pay more. You 0:20:50.720 --> 0:20:54.800 either have the brain for being an engineer or you don't. 0:20:55.640 --> 0:20:57.320 It's not just you know, I could do a whole 0:20:57.359 --> 0:21:00.800 bunch of different things. Maybe I'll be an engineer. I could, 0:21:00.880 --> 0:21:03.040 God bless you. Yeah, I mean yeah, but a lot 0:21:03.080 --> 0:21:06.040 of people don't. So it's not it's not just that 0:21:06.119 --> 0:21:09.040 easy of a decision to become an engineer. 0:21:09.119 --> 0:21:12.359 It's also idea of me taking engineering classes at my 0:21:12.440 --> 0:21:14.120 alma mater. Hilarious. 0:21:14.400 --> 0:21:17.080 I could have, I think, but I'd have been bored 0:21:17.119 --> 0:21:17.600 to death. 0:21:17.720 --> 0:21:18.280 Is a problem. 0:21:18.320 --> 0:21:20.879 I just I couldn't. I couldn't have done that the 0:21:20.880 --> 0:21:26.159 rest of my life. I've always heard I don't know 0:21:26.200 --> 0:21:28.399 if this is still true. They've been saying forever that 0:21:28.440 --> 0:21:30.760 those a lot of those majors that start with really 0:21:30.840 --> 0:21:33.560 high salaries, they don't go up that much from there. 0:21:33.920 --> 0:21:35.760
