Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.
Speaker 2: Arm Strong and Getty and now he.
Speaker 3: Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 4: There's a three hundred billion dollar investment fund. Who cares
Speaker 4: where the money comes from if it doesn't come from
Speaker 4: the United States. I get that, of course it shouldn't,
Speaker 4: but it shouldn't come from anybody. I mean, when we
Speaker 4: recovered Germany and Japan, the Nazis weren't in charge, the
Speaker 4: Japanese imperials weren't in charge. Here, the Runnian's in charge.
Speaker 4: The killers and thugs are still in charge. They're going
Speaker 4: to take that money and recover everything.
Speaker 5: Angry General Jack Keen on Fox New is there. King's
Speaker 5: got the husky eyes. You ever notice that he's got
Speaker 5: eyes like a husky dog. Never trust anybody with the
Speaker 5: husky eyes.
Speaker 3: All right, rule a thumb.
Speaker 5: So he's blasting the agreement as many people have left
Speaker 5: right center, up, down, forward, backward.
Speaker 3: A lot of people on Fox even blasting it. And
Speaker 3: so yesterday we played a lot of clips from that
Speaker 3: press conference where Trump was talking and he had Witcough,
Speaker 3: the negotiator of her one shoulder there in France and
Speaker 3: Marco Ruby over the other shoulder. And maybe I'm reading
Speaker 3: into Marco Rubio's but he really because I feel like
Speaker 3: I recognized that face because I've been in not just bored,
Speaker 3: but like things like where I'm listening to a boss
Speaker 3: talk or something like that, where I'm a combination of
Speaker 3: angry and depressed that I just want to either scream
Speaker 3: or run out of the room.
Speaker 5: You're sangry, You're sad and angry, Yes, just like demoralized.
Speaker 3: And that's what he looked like. And I don't know
Speaker 3: if any of this behind the scenes politics matters at all.
Speaker 3: Trump actually made the joke yesterday. Yeah, I sent JD.
Speaker 3: Vance out, so if it works out, I'm gonna take
Speaker 3: the credit. If it doesn't work out, I'm gonna blame him.
Speaker 3: I don't know if that's actually going on, like if
Speaker 3: Trump has maybe decided Marco is the next iteration of
Speaker 3: Republican presidents and he's throwing JD under the bus. But
Speaker 3: either way, they sent JD. Vance out to the White
Speaker 3: House pressure room today to try to explain this whole thing.
Speaker 5: One more comment, Marco, you could read his face. I've
Speaker 5: betrayed everything I believe in for this gig, and I
Speaker 5: have no idea what to do. Meanwhile, Lutnik was shucking
Speaker 5: and jiving and laughing at all of Trump's jokes at Ah,
Speaker 5: you could tell who was on board and who wasn't.
Speaker 3: I thought it was very revealing. Yeah, books will be
Speaker 3: written about this and we'll learn what they're actually thinking.
Speaker 3: I suppose. But so I've watched some of this during
Speaker 3: the commercial breaks, JD. Vance taking questions explaining the MoU
Speaker 3: that has been received poorly by everyone Wall Street Journal, Fox,
Speaker 3: New York Post, obviously, New York Times, Washington Post, crowd, everybody,
Speaker 3: everybody thinking it's a terrible deal and that we're given Iran,
Speaker 3: you know, a path to nuclear weapon money cost us
Speaker 3: a bunch of money. They now know they can close
Speaker 3: the straight or moves on a whim and nobody can
Speaker 3: do anything about it.
Speaker 5: Just et cetera, et cetera. And before I interrupted you,
Speaker 5: you're saying they sent JD. Advance out to explain it.
Speaker 5: Let's start with sixty two and go from there.
Speaker 6: Michael, as you all know, the part of the peace plan,
Speaker 6: the part of this MoU that.
Speaker 2: I think had been most misrepresented.
Speaker 6: By certain parts of the media is the idea that
Speaker 6: the Ranians get all these benefits. You will hear things
Speaker 6: about three hundred billion dollars or twenty four billion dollars,
Speaker 6: or this or that number of money or amount of money.
Speaker 6: And the simple fact is that the only way the
Speaker 6: Iranians get any of those resources, not a single penny,
Speaker 6: by the way, from the United States of America.
Speaker 2: Under any circumstances.
Speaker 6: But the only way that they would ever get any
Speaker 6: benefit of the bargain is if they comply fully and
Speaker 6: change their behavior. And so you really have a win
Speaker 6: win situation for the United States of America. If the
Speaker 6: Uranians don't change their behavior, their military and their nuclear
Speaker 6: program is still destroyed.
Speaker 3: Maybe he's about to explain this, and somebody asked the question, Well,
Speaker 3: my question would be, doesn't the Strait of Horror moves
Speaker 3: open on Friday and they immediately start making money. If
Speaker 3: they immediately start getting revenue and the agreement they haven't
Speaker 3: done anything with the nuclear weapons yet, then what you
Speaker 3: said doesn't make sense.
Speaker 5: No, they get that revenue in return for opening the
Speaker 5: strait period, which is where we were before the war.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 6: But JD goes on the interesting thing about their system,
Speaker 6: and I think it's important for the American people to
Speaker 6: appreciate this point. In particular is that there are real
Speaker 6: divisions within their country about how exactly to proceed. And
Speaker 6: what we've seen over the last couple of months is
Speaker 6: that the pragmatists within the Uranian system, that people who
Speaker 6: really do want to transform their relationship with the East
Speaker 6: and with the world. Those people are winning the argument.
Speaker 6: The United States wants those people to win the argument.
Speaker 6: The United States wants to have a better relationship. But
Speaker 6: in order for that to happen, the Iranians have to perform,
Speaker 6: and if they don't perform, as we've said before, they
Speaker 6: don't get any of the benefits of the bargains.
Speaker 3: That might end up being this story is that the
Speaker 3: Trump administration listens to the people that they wanted to
Speaker 3: be in charge, whether they were in charge or not.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I would say if I was there and he
Speaker 5: was taking questions, I'd say, all right, JD. Devil's advocate here.
Speaker 5: I'm they are smart guys, and they understand at this
Speaker 5: point they can't beat the US militarily. So what they're
Speaker 5: going to do is try very hard to come off
Speaker 5: is reasonable and worthy of negotiating with and as soon
Speaker 5: as you call off the dogs and you have the
Speaker 5: so called negotiations will degenerate into lying and obfuscation and
Speaker 5: foot dragging and cheating like they have every single time.
Speaker 7: Why would that not happen this time? Well, and I
Speaker 7: just I get to.
Speaker 3: Tell you that, you know, back to what he said previously,
Speaker 3: the order of do you allow us to take the
Speaker 3: enriched uranium or destroy the rest of your nuclear program
Speaker 3: or all these sort of things. Do those happen before
Speaker 3: they get money or not? J D says yes, clearly,
Speaker 3: not true though, I mean it just when the strait
Speaker 3: Oh different money, Yeah, well different money, but who cares
Speaker 3: what money it was or where it comes from? Okay,
Speaker 3: the fund isn't that money isn't going to go to them? Well,
Speaker 3: when the straits open and they start making money again,
Speaker 3: they're a functioning country again, right right.
Speaker 5: I'm accusing him of it's I can't remember what logical
Speaker 5: fallacy it is, but he's answering your question with the.
Speaker 3: Answer to a different question. Let's skip to sixty five.
Speaker 8: Michael, do you think that the current Iranian leadership recognizes
Speaker 8: the leverage that the US holds over itself? Economically and
Speaker 8: militarily enough to actually go forth with fundamentally changing their
Speaker 8: behavior over the long turnemy going not based on so.
Speaker 6: I certainly think they recognized the leverage that the United
Speaker 6: States has over them. We've seen that in a number
Speaker 6: of our conversations. We've seen that just in their behavior
Speaker 6: over the last couple of days. They certainly recognized that
Speaker 6: the United States has great leverage.
Speaker 2: Will that ultimately lead to a change in behavior?
Speaker 6: I don't know, you know, I've seen skeptics of the deal,
Speaker 6: people say the Iranians will never change their behavior. Well,
Speaker 6: maybe that's true, and if so, they don't get any
Speaker 6: of the benefits of the bargain.
Speaker 2: But isn't it worth trying.
Speaker 6: Isn't it worth seeing whether this incredibly weakened position that
Speaker 6: the President of the United States has put the Iranians under,
Speaker 6: whether that motivates them to change their behavior, not just
Speaker 6: visav the West, but visa v the Middle East.
Speaker 3: You know, to be fair, the Press Corps was not
Speaker 3: skeptical like this when Obama did the jcpoa which the
Speaker 3: Iranians lied about and didn't stop. It was in the
Speaker 3: JCPO one of the lines there was line number one,
Speaker 3: actually number one was we will stop trying to get
Speaker 3: a nuclear weapon. They lied about that and then continued
Speaker 3: trying to get nuclear up in the whole time, and
Speaker 3: they wouldn't let inspectors in and blah blah blah, blah
Speaker 3: blah blah. But the press corps was not as skeptical
Speaker 3: when Obama announced.
Speaker 5: Here, they're fawning, Yeah right, yeah, peace in our time?
Speaker 5: All right, go ahead, next clip, Michael.
Speaker 6: But I tend to think that you should trust the
Speaker 6: people who know the Iranians the best and who have
Speaker 6: the most to lose. What are the golf Arab states
Speaker 6: saying about this deal? What are they saying about this
Speaker 6: deal compared to the JCPOA in twenty fifteen, This is
Speaker 6: the Obama nuclear deal.
Speaker 2: Well, back then, they hated that deal.
Speaker 6: They felt like it empowered the Iranians to be bad
Speaker 6: actors across the region.
Speaker 2: And of course that's exactly what happened. They were right
Speaker 2: about that.
Speaker 6: What are they saying about the President's peace deal. They're saying,
Speaker 6: this is an amazingly transformative thing for the region, because
Speaker 6: either way, we and the broader region win.
Speaker 2: Iran.
Speaker 6: As weekend, their nuclear program destroyed their economy in desperate
Speaker 6: straits and if they change their behavior, big things are
Speaker 6: going to happen for I ran in for the world.
Speaker 6: If they don't, no skin off our backs. Either way
Speaker 6: we win. And that's the way the President has set
Speaker 6: up this deal.
Speaker 3: I can't speak to that because I don't know if
Speaker 3: that's true or not. Due is Saudi Arabia, UAE Kuwait.
Speaker 3: Are they all happy with this deal? Don't? I don't
Speaker 3: know that JD's saying they are.
Speaker 5: They's actually looking for coverage of that, and I can't
Speaker 5: really find it.
Speaker 3: The flippant comment that Trump has made also that he
Speaker 3: said no skin off our nose. JD said, no skin
Speaker 3: off our backs if they don't follow through. It's too
Speaker 3: flippant for me that if they're not following through, part
Speaker 3: means they're trying to get a nuclear weapon, and our
Speaker 3: attempt to stop them has at work. So that is
Speaker 3: some skin off our nose or back or both.
Speaker 5: Right, yeah, yeah, So at the start of the war,
Speaker 5: you may recall Marco Rubio, the aforementioned miserable person whose
Speaker 5: wishes are being ignored at the moment, described the destruction
Speaker 5: of Iran's ballistic missiles as one of the key goals
Speaker 5: of the war. That has absolutely not been achieved yet.
Speaker 5: We've damaged it, but we have not achieved it. This
Speaker 5: is long ish, but here's JD. Vance addressing that question.
Speaker 5: Sixty seven.
Speaker 3: Michael, can you help.
Speaker 9: Us understand President Trump's shift on his stance for Iran's
Speaker 9: realistic missile program. Initially it was a key objective to
Speaker 9: discandle it. Yesterday he said it would only be fair
Speaker 9: if they had some if the countries around Iran also
Speaker 9: had some.
Speaker 2: So when and why did that change? And will the
Speaker 2: final agreement.
Speaker 9: Have any restrictions on these missiles.
Speaker 6: So we destroyed a substantial number of their ballistic missiles
Speaker 6: and excuse me, ballistic missile launchers themselves. It's not just
Speaker 6: the bullets, but it's the actual gun, and that's what
Speaker 6: we were extremely effective at in destroying during the last
Speaker 6: three months of the campaign. All the presidents said yesterday
Speaker 6: is that, of course, region, the.
Speaker 2: Countries don't give up the right of self defense.
Speaker 6: Israel doesn't give up the right of self defense of hesbilafires,
Speaker 6: rockets or drones at Israel. The Iranians don't give up
Speaker 6: the right of self defense in their country. But we
Speaker 6: do expect that as part of the final deal, they
Speaker 6: are not going to be able to build the kind
Speaker 6: of missiles that can broadly threaten the entire world. And
Speaker 6: that's what the President of United States said yesterday. And look,
Speaker 6: I mean it's very simple. You can't tell a country
Speaker 6: whether Israel or Ran they're not allowed to have any
Speaker 6: self defense. That's not what the President has asked. That's
Speaker 6: not what the President has requested. But as part of
Speaker 6: the final deal, what we want to see is Iran
Speaker 6: not funding regional instability, funding regional terrorism, and of course
Speaker 6: try to rebuild their nuclear weapons program. That's the main thing.
Speaker 6: The nuclear weapons program is destroyed.
Speaker 2: It is gone.
Speaker 6: If the Iranians decided tomorrow to build a nuclear weapon,
Speaker 6: they simply don't have the capacity in order to do that.
Speaker 6: What we're trying to ensure is they don't rebuild that capacity,
Speaker 6: not just a year from now, two years from now,
Speaker 6: but many many years from now, so that our children
Speaker 6: I ever have to worry about a state sponsor of
Speaker 6: terrorism having a nuclear weapon.
Speaker 3: So here's my take on it, and then I want
Speaker 3: to see what Joe says about this. On the rocket part.
Speaker 3: At the beginning, I think that is a blatant putting
Speaker 3: lipstick on a pig of Iran dictating the terms to
Speaker 3: us of what deal they'd be willing to accept, in
Speaker 3: US saying okay, and JD's trying to spin it as, Hey,
Speaker 3: everybody gets to have rockets. Why would we tell Israel
Speaker 3: they can have a rockets and a ram they can't.
Speaker 3: That wouldn't be fair. Is nuts?
Speaker 5: Yeah, that is unprecedented, unprecedented in the history of winning wars.
Speaker 5: The victor tells the vanquished what self defense they are
Speaker 5: allowed to have and in what foreman for how long
Speaker 5: and how it will evolve.
Speaker 3: Here's the difference. If I'm a felon and I have
Speaker 3: a history of using firearms, you know, to hurt people
Speaker 3: or whatever, I'm not allowed to have a gun. JD
Speaker 3: Vance saying, well, people can have guns, he can have
Speaker 3: a gun, he can have a gun. Yeah, Well, one
Speaker 3: guy has never committed a crime and used it offensively
Speaker 3: only defensively. One guy uses it offensively regularly.
Speaker 7: Right, there's a difference, of course.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I think they're desperately and we're searching for a rationale.
Speaker 3: And we're pretending that Iran has nothing to do with
Speaker 3: Hesbulla and Hamas who attacked Israel remember hamas Is attack
Speaker 3: on Israel, remember that in October seventh. Yeah, this is
Speaker 3: the regime that you say, Well, they get to have rockets,
Speaker 3: they have every right to self defense, just like any
Speaker 3: other country. That's crazy.
Speaker 5: My reaction to JD's screed was putting that part aside,
Speaker 5: which is difficult if you are sincere and there is
Speaker 5: a serious repercussion waiting in the wings if they violate
Speaker 5: any of that. Okay, sounds good, but that's that's the
Speaker 5: entire question and always has been with Iran. All right,
Speaker 5: next segment, Jack, do you want to hear Ukraine Bombard's
Speaker 5: Moscow with one of the biggest drawn attacks of the war,
Speaker 5: or the one surprising mistake everyone makes with pancakes and
Speaker 5: it's easy to fix.
Speaker 3: I didn't know I was making any mistakes with pancakes
Speaker 3: other than eating too many.
Speaker 7: I make that, Yeah.
Speaker 3: Or I think we can I think we can fit
Speaker 3: all those things in. Yeah sure, uh so, uh stay tuned.
Speaker 3: Ran into somebody the other day who wasn't on board
Speaker 3: with the chat bots yesterday and I said, oh my god,
Speaker 3: you gotta it's fantastic, And they just didn't want to
Speaker 3: get into the world of AI and everything and I
Speaker 3: was Joe had joined in earlier than I did. I
Speaker 3: was slow to adopt it, but God, I love it anyway.
Speaker 3: I asked chat GPT, what's the reaction been from the
Speaker 3: Gulf States on this m o U, And yes, the
Speaker 3: reaction from as jd Vance just said, your action for
Speaker 3: most Arab Gulf states has been notably positive or at
Speaker 3: least cautiously supportive. But Saudi Arabia guitar UAE have been
Speaker 3: so worried about the war expanding and devastating the entire
Speaker 3: Gulf that they're happy that this is happening, even though
Speaker 3: they're still somewhat skeptical, but definitely all kinds of positive
Speaker 3: noises around our golf allies.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I would take that with a grain of Middle
Speaker 5: Eastern sand too, because if you openly contradict Trump, his
Speaker 5: vengeance will come down upon you good, whether you're Emmanuel
Speaker 5: Macrone or anybody else in NATO, or Vladimir Zolensky, Volodomir
Speaker 5: Zelensky or whomever.
Speaker 7: So yeah, grain assault. We'll have to see.
Speaker 5: Speaking of Zelensky, one of those headlines I hit you
Speaker 5: with Ukraine Bombard's Moscow with one of the biggest drone
Speaker 5: attacks of the war shut down the capitol's airport for
Speaker 5: several hours, blew the Bjesus out of an oil refinery, awesome.
Speaker 5: On the outskirts of Moscow, hits several residential buildings, which
Speaker 5: of course is terribly ugly, but you know they're trying
Speaker 5: to bring the hurt home to Russians since, as I
Speaker 5: stated yesterday, this has become a war of punishment and
Speaker 5: cruelty toward Ukrainians by Putin, who is now just murdering
Speaker 5: civilians is wherever you can find them, absolutely disgusting and
Speaker 5: in a shocking transition that will endear us to no one.
Speaker 5: The one surprising mistake everyone makes with pancakes, and it's
Speaker 5: a transition. We can wait until I to the break.
Speaker 5: We don't eat pancakes anymore, what almost never, because that's
Speaker 5: too Carby's pancakes.
Speaker 3: Pancakes are one of the girls. Why be alive? Why
Speaker 3: be alive?
Speaker 7: I'll have an omelet plase with pancakes.
Speaker 5: As my doctor said to me, you've dipped your baby
Speaker 5: tow in the first inch of the kiddie pool of diabetes.
Speaker 5: So careful their son, They said, yeah, yeah, it's just
Speaker 5: it's the glucose test is a little high, and he said,
Speaker 5: just you don't want.
Speaker 7: To keep going down that road. So I'm lit for me,
Speaker 7: but it's a surprising mistake. Blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: Pancakes coming up, Armstrong and getty.
Speaker 9: Don't you ever ever worry about the local scope again?
Speaker 10: Okay, didn't have a good experience, so I wrote a
Speaker 10: bad review. I didn't think nothing of it until she
Speaker 10: reminded me of it.
Speaker 7: She just saw it to me.
Speaker 10: Touched my torso three times. She knocked the phone out
Speaker 10: of my hand and pretty much destroyed the back of it,
Speaker 10: kicked it under my car.
Speaker 3: She touched my torso three times.
Speaker 7: Oh, torso touched her how much?
Speaker 3: For four times?
Speaker 5: This is an Alabama business owner and her husband.
Speaker 7: Who got a couple of tour three.
Speaker 5: I think some really bad reviews for their brand new
Speaker 5: ice cream shop from some dude murdered him online, and
Speaker 5: so they sought him out and we're gonna beat him
Speaker 5: down over.
Speaker 7: It, well or something. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5: So let's see in the cell phone video, which I
Speaker 5: keep trying to watch, but it's so fraught with pop
Speaker 5: up ads and crap I never get through it.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 3: Here here's some of the video.
Speaker 5: She says, I'm mad because I busted my ass at
Speaker 5: something and you think you're gonna run it into the ground.
Speaker 5: He says, obviously you have some mental issues that would
Speaker 5: cause you to get mad that I.
Speaker 3: Left the review on your restaurant. Mallory that's the woman's name,
Speaker 3: says three times.
Speaker 5: Okay, it was a bitch move. He says, I could
Speaker 5: do whatever I want. You shouldn't, though it would be
Speaker 5: in your best interest not to do. You understand what
Speaker 5: are you gonna do about it? You'll find out soon enough.
Speaker 5: You never had your torso touched three times?
Speaker 7: Because I'll touch it.
Speaker 5: And the owner's husband, Ryan, shows up to the scene.
Speaker 5: The cell phone video shows the owner inching closer to Smith.
Speaker 5: She assaulted me, touched my torso three times, Smith said,
Speaker 5: and she knocked the phone out of my hand as
Speaker 5: we heard blah blah blah. The woman was arrested Thursday
Speaker 5: and charges of harassment criminal mischief. Her husband Ryan also
Speaker 5: arrested for a harassment. They've since been released from jail. No,
Speaker 5: I see this is who's the a hole here? Isn't
Speaker 5: that the point of this sort of story?
Speaker 3: Right? A? M?
Speaker 5: I eah t A yeah, I need to know him
Speaker 5: all more about why did she say three times?
Speaker 6: So?
Speaker 3: Was he like just hammering this business in an unjustified fashion?
Speaker 3: Well did he goday their business which they'd risked their time,
Speaker 3: money and effort into building. Well what was this complaint?
Speaker 3: Does the place suck? Well they didn't say in this crappy,
Speaker 3: crappy news article. All the questions everybody has are unaddressed
Speaker 3: in this stinking pile of this cone full of bad journalism. Well,
Speaker 3: I feel like you're so angry that if the writer
Speaker 3: was here, you'd touch their torso most.
Speaker 5: Please, I kick our cell phone right under the car.
Speaker 5: How bad was that ice cream?
Speaker 1: Well, you know.
Speaker 3: It's if the guy is only trying to hurt your
Speaker 3: business that sucks. I wouldn't fight him over it, but
Speaker 3: i'd be mad. But you get to be unhappy with
Speaker 3: a ice cream store for whatever reason you're not happy
Speaker 3: about an ice cream store.
Speaker 5: Well, you're arguing a hypothetical case because we don't know
Speaker 5: what happened thanks to this two scoops of idiocy masquerading
Speaker 5: as a news story.
Speaker 3: This is just terrible. Did it have the sprinkles of
Speaker 3: malevolence on top? We don't know, right?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 5: Or the sincere sauce of dissatisfaction, the fudge of befuddling,
Speaker 5: the tie to stop now, So if you could get.
Speaker 3: So there's a are you familiar with cold Stone and Crimery?
Speaker 3: It's of course. I've never had one of their signature things,
Speaker 3: have you? Are you familiar with those they've gotten years
Speaker 3: and years? Oh my god, they're so over the top.
Speaker 3: I mean they're away over the top. They're like thirteen
Speaker 3: hundred calories. And there's different versions you can get, like
Speaker 3: a peanut butter one and it's got peanut butter cups
Speaker 3: and chunks and thudd them. Then it's just a I've
Speaker 3: always wanted to get one, and I ever have. I
Speaker 3: was telling the kids the other day because we got
Speaker 3: a new one not far from us, that someday I'm
Speaker 3: gonna get one, but I gotta get it like middle
Speaker 3: of the day and not eat anything else that day
Speaker 3: to like, you know, come close to breaking even for
Speaker 3: the day.
Speaker 5: Oh and there's nothing that like a giant dish of
Speaker 5: ice cream to make you feel like getting in the gym.
Speaker 3: Or doing anything other than hurling yourself in front of a.
Speaker 7: Bus right just lying around moaning.
Speaker 3: Uh So, but I don't know well, okay, yeah, you're right.
Speaker 3: We need more details to make any comments on this.
Speaker 5: Right, right, it's very frustrating, very crappy. So you got
Speaker 5: a golden stack of pancakes, slick with butter, dripping with syrup.
Speaker 5: It's one of the best breakfasts you can have on
Speaker 5: a weekend. I need you know what, I just got
Speaker 5: to have a cheat day. I will, I will take
Speaker 5: an extra long power walk, I will lift some weights.
Speaker 5: I gotta have a stack of pancakes.
Speaker 3: Oh, myself, are so good.
Speaker 5: But Jack, not all those pancakes reach those burnished heights
Speaker 5: you're looking for. Note to self, use the term burnished
Speaker 5: more whatever it means. Some are flat, some are pale
Speaker 5: and spongy. Some burn on the outside and stay raw.
Speaker 7: In the middle.
Speaker 5: Secret to consistently perfect pancakes lies in a few simple
Speaker 5: but crucial moves.
Speaker 3: I've never been able to make great pancakes. I mean,
Speaker 3: because a pretty good pancakes still pretty darn good, especially
Speaker 3: with butter and syrup. Sure, but I've never made great pancakes.
Speaker 3: Here it is.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna tell you how. There's an old chestnut that
Speaker 5: I'd never heard before that the first pancake is for
Speaker 5: the dog.
Speaker 3: Oh that's a good one.
Speaker 7: That's because you haven't let the batter rest.
Speaker 5: So the first few pancakes turn out too thin with
Speaker 5: the batter running all over the pan.
Speaker 3: It's like hitting wrong.
Speaker 5: Letting the batter rest fixes this, giving the flower time
Speaker 5: to hydrate and a better chance to thicken.
Speaker 3: Oh okay.
Speaker 5: It also lets the leaveners baking soda baking powder fully
Speaker 5: dissolved and disperse, so.
Speaker 3: You get an even rise sweet spot. Now you're gonna
Speaker 3: have to hold off for a minute, ten to thirty
Speaker 3: minutes on the counter. Oh I've never done that. Okay,
Speaker 3: so that's the key. But the batter will keep in
Speaker 3: the fridge from up to forty eight hours. Not making
Speaker 3: free make your batter. Not making pancake makes steat pancakes
Speaker 3: two days from.
Speaker 5: Now or or you know the sweet spot ten to
Speaker 5: thirty minutes on the counter. So that's one second. One
Speaker 5: is you're not using acid like butter milk. A great
Speaker 5: pancake batter is a chemistry equation acid like butter milk,
Speaker 5: lemon juice or vinegar plus a bass Baking soda equals
Speaker 5: lift when baking soda comes into contact with an acidic ingredient.
Speaker 5: It produces carbon dioxide carbon dioxide bubbles, and those bubbles
Speaker 5: are what make the pancakes light and fluffy. Without the
Speaker 5: acid in the batter, the baking soda is inert. You're
Speaker 5: left wondering why your pancakes came out dense.
Speaker 3: Okay, I might try that this weekend.
Speaker 5: And yes, you can make pancakes with water instead of milk,
Speaker 5: which Judy and I try a fair amount when we
Speaker 5: were trying to lose weight. Wait, but don't the fat
Speaker 5: and protein and milk also the butter and the eggs
Speaker 5: is part what part of what makes a pancake pancake?
Speaker 3: Yep, boy, pancakes are good. I just got these pancakes
Speaker 3: from a restaurant called pancakes, egg, et cetera.
Speaker 2: It's that kind of a play on words.
Speaker 5: Thank you, Mitt, Natural comedian Bramin, So once again in
Speaker 5: this sort of jarring transition that endears us to no one.
Speaker 5: Let's go back to the mo ou wow wow from
Speaker 5: ice cream. This is the bacon of conflict.
Speaker 3: It would appear doing a little research on chat GPT
Speaker 3: that what jd Vance said is true. The Golf States
Speaker 3: have praised this deal that the Trump team has put
Speaker 3: together around Iran, and they did not like the JCPOA
Speaker 3: under Obama. I've got a bunch of quotes from various
Speaker 3: Golf states, so they did not like the j c POA.
Speaker 3: They do like this deal. What jd Vance said is accurate.
Speaker 3: There with the caveat, Joe pointed out that maybe the
Speaker 3: Golf states are saying nice things about this because they
Speaker 3: realize if you bad mouth Trump's plan, He's going to
Speaker 3: really really make your life difficult. Yeah.
Speaker 5: I came across the story recently, and I've got it
Speaker 5: around here somewhere, but it'd take too long to find.
Speaker 5: This conservative organization which has been beloved by people on
Speaker 5: the right side of the aisle for many, many, many years.
Speaker 5: They came out, Oh there it is, Damn I found it.
Speaker 5: They came out the Liberty Justice Center, came out against
Speaker 5: Trump's tariffs. They sued on behalf of a bunch of businesses,
Speaker 5: and they won, and all of their donors fled them,
Speaker 5: and they've gone into a defensive crouch because Trump. Now
Speaker 5: they're persona non grata because they went up against Trump,
Speaker 5: and it's done them terrible, terrible damage. Doing from a
Speaker 5: free market perspective, exactly the right thing.
Speaker 7: So yeah, Trump's vengeance is terrible.
Speaker 5: And I just it's like the hostage saying, no, I'm
Speaker 5: being treated well. When I hear the Gulf States say
Speaker 5: they like the agreement, I don't know whether to take
Speaker 5: them seriously or not.
Speaker 3: I just don't. I don't know how well. I guess
Speaker 3: I should know by now. It's been a decade of Trump.
Speaker 3: Trump moves the goalposts a lot, which might be just smart.
Speaker 3: Maybe that's what business guys are used to doing. Here's
Speaker 3: what I wanted to do. Here's where we are today
Speaker 3: on that effort. What's the best It's just like investing,
Speaker 3: doesn't matter what the stock was a month ago or
Speaker 3: a year ago. You don't stick with it hoping it
Speaker 3: gets back to there. What would you buy it at eighty?
Speaker 3: I bought it at one hundred? No wrong? Would you
Speaker 3: buy it today at this price?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 2: Or no?
Speaker 3: Is the only question? And that might be the way
Speaker 3: he looks at every single deal. But it's it's amazing
Speaker 3: to have said at one point unconditional surrender, have those
Speaker 3: words come out of your mouth, and then have the
Speaker 3: agreement that apparently is going to be the thing now
Speaker 3: where they get to keep their rockets. They get to
Speaker 3: enrich some uranium because they Wow, we can't tell them
Speaker 3: not to have a domestic enrichment program. That's not fair.
Speaker 3: They have violated international rules about trying to get a
Speaker 3: nuclear weapon for years. They lie. So yes, because they
Speaker 3: lied about that, you can deny them a domestic uranium
Speaker 3: I durishment program. But he's pretending you can't because they're
Speaker 3: dictating the terms in this war that we apparently lost.
Speaker 3: But I can't believe he got the words unconditional surrender
Speaker 3: to come out of his mouth and now is agreeing
Speaker 3: to this. I'd be too embarrassed. Yeah, two comments number one.
Speaker 5: The first uh, And this is long long bothered me
Speaker 5: about Trump. I think he doesn't value things. Well, I
Speaker 5: know he doesn't value various things the way I do.
Speaker 5: And so the long term need to keep her on
Speaker 5: from getting a nuke has now gotten way small and
Speaker 5: in the distance compared with the need to open up
Speaker 5: the straight and get the world economy back going. And
Speaker 5: that's too much pain. I'll be dead soon. It doesn't matter,
Speaker 5: you know. That could be his analysis. On the other hand,
Speaker 5: having thought for several minutes about all the audio, we played,
Speaker 5: a JD vance earlier.
Speaker 3: There's only one question here.
Speaker 7: Is he right?
Speaker 5: Is Trump Wright that this generation of Iranian leaderships is
Speaker 5: different and they're actually ready to do business? That's the
Speaker 5: entire question. If he answer yes, all this will work beautifully.
Speaker 5: If the answer is no, this will be an unmitigated disaster.
Speaker 3: Well. I have a feeling it wasn't an accident that
Speaker 3: the Wall Street Journal, their big Sunday front page piece
Speaker 3: was about the new leader of the IRGC. I have
Speaker 3: a feeling they saw this coming. They knew what the
Speaker 3: chatter was behind the scenes. No, no, no, this new
Speaker 3: Republican National Guard Revolutionary Guard. They're different actors. So the
Speaker 3: Wall Street Journal does a big piece on this guy
Speaker 3: and didn't I didn't read it, but from what I
Speaker 3: understand from what you said and reading about it, they
Speaker 3: portray him as more hardcore than anybody that they've ever had.
Speaker 5: He's very hardcore at least, yeah, yeah, absolutely dedicated to
Speaker 5: the cause being Islamism and taking over the world.
Speaker 3: And I don't know if you can wrap your head
Speaker 3: around this, but there's a chance he might pretend that
Speaker 3: he's a new, higher minded, more benevolent type sure, and
Speaker 3: then turn out not to actually be right.
Speaker 7: Right, so as the hammer ready to fall.
Speaker 3: You're right, that is the whole question. Is this a
Speaker 3: different crowd. I think it sounds childish to say about
Speaker 3: a regime that's been doing what they've been doing for
Speaker 3: fifty years to say no, no, no, they've decided that was
Speaker 3: a bad idea, and it's really cool. Jad said. You
Speaker 3: know what's cool about this is that they've decided it
Speaker 3: was a bad idea to chant death to America and
Speaker 3: burn you US flag is every single day for fifty years,
Speaker 3: and so now they're going to be our friends.
Speaker 5: That is cool. Stop smiling. This is serious business. He's
Speaker 5: got the.
Speaker 3: Smile of and this aluminum siding will lower your bills,
Speaker 3: it'll beautify your home.
Speaker 5: Stop smiling so much, Jadie, it's starting put me off.
Speaker 3: He says. It was a smile. No, the car's supposed
Speaker 3: to make that noise. Everything's fine. Sign right here. Yeah, Yeah,
Speaker 3: we'll finish strong next.
Speaker 1: Arm Strong and Getty.
Speaker 7: Thank you so much.
Speaker 8: Congratulations President Obama and Michelle Wow.
Speaker 3: Who was that? Christina Aguilera man, she has got a
Speaker 3: big voice. We're watching Don't Look Up the other Day,
Speaker 3: the movie where she plays the insipid pop star, which
Speaker 3: is what she is? Then she for she weighs like
Speaker 3: ninety pounds. How does a voice like that come out
Speaker 3: of her? AnyWho? Yeah? The uh the man a lineup
Speaker 3: of acts for Obama's opening of his library today, which
Speaker 3: if you if you haven't seen any of this the
Speaker 3: way they're handling it on like ms and ms now,
Speaker 3: oh it's vomit inducing. Yeah, they're just they're they're the
Speaker 3: combination of the Pope and Jesus and George Washington all
Speaker 3: coming together as the most important Maya Angelo, the most
Speaker 3: important person who's ever lived, ever in their ever in
Speaker 3: the history of the planet, is right there in front
Speaker 3: of us. It's a it's like it's a combination of
Speaker 3: that that always existed around Obama to a certain level,
Speaker 3: amplified exponentially by their hatred.
Speaker 7: Of now yeah yeah, and oh they're just.
Speaker 3: So funny Bono singing, Springsteen singing the biggest acts that
Speaker 3: still live on the planet. It's just all it's so
Speaker 3: over the top.
Speaker 7: That the worshipfulness of it.
Speaker 3: All talk and the amount of money spent on the library,
Speaker 3: like the manipulative pony the is like what you'd spend
Speaker 3: to build a football stadium an NFL stadium, it's just whatever.
Speaker 3: Speaking of presidents, So there's been a lot of knocking
Speaker 3: of the new reflecting pool. So Trump redid the pool,
Speaker 3: the bottom of the pool and everything like that. Now
Speaker 3: every news channel has got a story about how the
Speaker 3: water's green. If you own a swimming pool, you've had
Speaker 3: this happen before. Sometimes the stuff gets out of balance,
Speaker 3: the water turns green. You put in a couple of
Speaker 3: pills and it's fine. Again, it's not a big deal. No,
Speaker 3: I had my pool turned green shortly I became a
Speaker 3: pool owner for the first time in my life. He
Speaker 3: was like, oh my god. They said, no, it's probably
Speaker 3: they've thrown a couple of pills and it goes away.
Speaker 5: I don't remember when Obama used to bring people down
Speaker 5: to the water and baptize them to save their souls.
Speaker 7: Oh no, that was Jesus. Sorry, Johnny Tanks fixed up.
Speaker 3: Here's your host for final thoughts, Joe Getty.
Speaker 7: Let's get a final thought from everybody on the crew.
Speaker 2: To wrap up today.
Speaker 5: There has met Michael Angelow pressing the buttons in the
Speaker 5: control room.
Speaker 3: Michael hit it.
Speaker 8: I guess the Iranians have agreed to put a carpool
Speaker 8: lane in the Straight of.
Speaker 2: Horm moves.
Speaker 3: Diamond Lane Jack final thought for us, Yeah, well, the
Speaker 3: proof will be in the pudding. Is that what they say?
Speaker 3: Is that the same?
Speaker 7: The proof is in the pudding.
Speaker 3: Yes, And the pudding is soon when they opened the
Speaker 3: Straight of Horror moves and Iran starts getting money and
Speaker 3: they start negotiating around the nuclear weapons. So we'll know
Speaker 3: very soon whether this was a good deal or not.
Speaker 3: It's not like we have to wait a long time.
Speaker 5: Yeah, although I disagreeing that they might decide to lay
Speaker 5: low for a month or two months or six mon.
Speaker 3: Which reads it was a bad deal, which means it
Speaker 3: was a bad deal automatically.
Speaker 7: Yeah, but we do not know.
Speaker 3: If they're not negotiating in good faith. Right away, we
Speaker 3: know it's a bad deal.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'll know what they are.
Speaker 3: Trump's gonna come out and say we've agreed, We've agreed
Speaker 3: to extend it for sixty more days. Boom, it was
Speaker 3: a bad deal if that happened.
Speaker 5: Yeah, oh, that's a certainty that will happen. Nothing will
Speaker 5: be resolved in sixty days.
