Speaker 3: Jumping back on the Hedonic Treadmill live from studio seat

6
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 3: see sor hey, didn't we let room deep with them?

7
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 2: The bowels of.

8
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:30,480
Speaker 3: The Armstrong and Getty Communications Compound and kicking off a

9
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:33,560
Speaker 3: brand new week We're toiling under the title of the show,

10
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:38,520
Speaker 3: The Art of the Debacle more like or if you prefer,

11
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 3: Scott Pelly and whole keeps digging.

12
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 2: Yeah.

13
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 3: I just saw Tree Yankst on Fox say let's not

14
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 3: make me any mistake about it.

15
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:49,480
Speaker 2: The ceasefire is over.

16
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,479
Speaker 3: I thought that was quite a statement, since that's the

17
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 3: government's not saying that. But this has not got a

18
00:00:57,680 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 3: good look to it. It's not got a good scent

19
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 3: to it. The situation in the Middle East and Trump

20
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,919
Speaker 3: being mad at BB and BB saying he's under pressure

21
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 3: from his own people. No, I can't stop, now, come on,

22
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 3: it's just it's it's not looking good. BB's under pressure

23
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 3: from his own people. How about he's under pressure in

24
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 3: that there's a country with a major military sending rockets

25
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 3: and ballistic missiles at his capital, and one of their

26
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 3: proxies sending more missiles from the other end of the country.

27
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,759
Speaker 3: What are you supposed to do if somebody's sending missiles

28
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:30,040
Speaker 3: at your capital? What would him kill him? What would

29
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 3: any other country do? Kill him dead? Uh, we'll have

30
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 3: more on that in a little bit if you haven't

31
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 3: been following that. The hedonic treadmill, I was just reading about.

32
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 3: It's a good piece. I ordered one of those, and

33
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 3: now I just got clothes hanging from it. Hey, unfortunately

34
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 3: we all are using our holdonic treadmills.

35
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 2: We seem to be, because it seems to be human nature. Uh.

36
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 3: Interesting opinion piece in the New York Times today by

37
00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 3: a couple of economists who you know. I'm glad they're

38
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,279
Speaker 3: making this argument, and especially in the New York Times

39
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 3: that Hey, this whole disappearing middle class story, Yeah, it's

40
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 3: because so many people have moved into the upper class

41
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 3: or the upper upper middle class. It's not because people

42
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:19,640
Speaker 3: have gotten poorer. Everybody has gotten richer, including poor people.

43
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 3: So we'll get into some of the stats on that,

44
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 3: but it talked about how the problem is and then

45
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 3: it gets into the how we have such a bad

46
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 3: mood about the economy. Seventy four percent of people think

47
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,079
Speaker 3: the economy is going in the bad wrong direction, and

48
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 3: blah blahlah, all these different sorts of things, even though

49
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 3: we're way richer than we were decades ago. The hedonic treadmill.

50
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 3: No matter how much you have, you want more. Yes,

51
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:48,359
Speaker 3: there's just no getting around that. As an individual human apparently,

52
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 3: and as a society.

53
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 2: Yeah.

54
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's one of those things you just need to

55
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 3: be aware of and call upon a higher power or

56
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 3: a system of beliefs or something to try to quelling

57
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 3: you yourself. Oh, it's like sexual lust. If you're in

58
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 3: a monogamous relationship. You feel it, but you've got to

59
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 3: master it. You've got to be in charge. I told

60
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 3: a story a few weeks ago, a couple of weeks ago.

61
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 3: It embarrassed me, but I wanted to admit it. I

62
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 3: have a very nice house. I went to see my

63
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 3: neighbor who has a slightly nicer house, and I came

64
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 3: home thinking this out sucked, which is inexcusable.

65
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 2: It is, But I was aware of the impulse.

66
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 3: It was like sexual lust, and I thought, all right,

67
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 3: you've got to be better than that.

68
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 2: It really is. Well, yeah, human beings have to be

69
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 2: better than that.

70
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 3: Or you're just signing the paperwork for being miserable the

71
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 3: rest of your life. Sign here, date it initial the

72
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 3: second page, for being miserable the rest of my life,

73
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 3: no matter what happen, right, sign here here here. Uh yeah,

74
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 3: I can't remember. I wish I'd kept a diary through

75
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 3: my life. I'm a man who craves leisure anyway. I

76
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 3: don't remember the first time it dawned on me that

77
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 3: virtually everything that assaults our eyes and ears, say, except

78
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 3: for friends and family and that sort of thing, is

79
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 3: designed to make us think we are entirely economic beings.

80
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 3: The only significance we have is that a is as

81
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:21,159
Speaker 3: a buyer and or seller of goods and services. Or

82
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 3: that's a horrible way to approach your life, i'd say,

83
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 3: Or a possessor of them, certainly, yeah, just just possessing

84
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 3: this item, sure, yeah, yeah, and then you're the only

85
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 3: thing that matters is is the coming and goings of

86
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 3: money and goods and.

87
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 2: The rest of it.

88
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, So you possess various things and you're assaulted, as

89
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,720
Speaker 3: you said, with ads on why you need a newer,

90
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:48,280
Speaker 3: better one, or you're selling off this one to get

91
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 3: a newer, better one or whatever.

92
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

93
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 3: Another example of it might be, and this might have

94
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 3: been when it clicked in my head reading about very

95
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 3: statistics about women in the workplace and working moms and

96
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:02,160
Speaker 3: that sort of thing. And the fact the journalism viewed

97
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:07,280
Speaker 3: their economic their earning potential and their economic independence if

98
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 3: they're their man flaked on them or whatever. Wait, those

99
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 3: is incredibly important. And the spiritual aspects of motherhood were

100
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 3: a throwaway, I mean almost sneered at. The only things

101
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 3: that actually count is you're breathing your last We're view

102
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 3: this is like how used Kleenex.

103
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 2: You'd throw in the garbage.

104
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 3: And I thought, wow, that's the way a lot of

105
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 3: you know, media and intelligence, you know, I'll look at

106
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 3: being a human being and I'd like to reject it.

107
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 2: I'm trying to reject it.

108
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 3: It'd be nice if we could have, but it's hard

109
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 3: in this sucky, sucky house, am I?

110
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:53,159
Speaker 2: I kid? I mentioned this? God dang it.

111
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:54,599
Speaker 3: We've been doing this show for a long time, and

112
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 3: this was decades ago. It might have been twenty five

113
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 3: years ago. I remember saying on this show behind a

114
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 3: car that had a bumper sticker that said, if you

115
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 3: had enough, would you know it?

116
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 2: And it blew me away. I mean it's stuck in

117
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 2: my head.

118
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,720
Speaker 3: It really really had an effect on me because it's that,

119
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:15,480
Speaker 3: you know, it's that mindset of whoa wait a second.

120
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,599
Speaker 3: If I were to go back five, ten, however many

121
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,599
Speaker 3: years and tell that person this is what you'll have now,

122
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 3: would they be like really cool?

123
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:28,159
Speaker 2: Or would they be disappointed? Oh? That sounds miserable. Is

124
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 2: there anybody else with any more than that? That's what

125
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 2: I need to know.

126
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 3: Well, that's why it's a hedonic treadmill, and not like

127
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,160
Speaker 3: a nice walk to the headonic woods or when you

128
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 3: get there, everything's great, it's fabulous, you're super happy you're there.

129
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 2: No, it's a treadmill.

130
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 3: T I suppose it's an evolutionary thing to keep us

131
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,719
Speaker 3: grinding and striving for more, to keep us alive. The

132
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 3: people that continued to strive had enough to survive bad

133
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 3: times or whatever. But that was like, you know, completely

134
00:06:55,400 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 3: different world of luxury and most people looking at charts

135
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 3: and we'll get to him later. Very few people are

136
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 3: starving to death. I mean, so once you get above

137
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 3: starving to death and having a roof over your head.

138
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 2: Everything after that's kind of gravy delicious. Yes, anyway, we'll

139
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 2: talk about that.

140
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 3: Good for the New York Times printing that that piece

141
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 3: by a couple of economists saying, look, this old disappearing

142
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 3: middle class inequality thing is just not true.

143
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 2: And here's the charts. So we'll talk about that later.

144
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 3: The only way to drive political change is through discontent,

145
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 3: and if you.

146
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 2: Don't have it, you manufacture it.

147
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 3: I know, almost be you know, disregard, contempt, well, envy,

148
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 3: and sure I almost said I wish we could have

149
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 3: leadership that could explain this to us. But we shouldn't

150
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 3: be looking to political leadership for this sort of message

151
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 3: really anyway in our lives. So we do have leadership.

152
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 3: He was a carpenter in the Israel way back in

153
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 3: the day. It's speaking for you know, myself. But nobody's

154
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 3: going to get elected by saying, look, you look, will

155
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 3: Trump try it with it?

156
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 2: Your kid's got enough dolls? What do they need more dolls?

157
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 2: That doesn't land.

158
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 3: No, No, not the most approachable salesman for that philosophy,

159
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 3: especially given his lifestycle.

160
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 2: No kidding, Hey, how much gold plate do you need?

161
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 3: Fly?

162
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 2: Around on your own plane with your name on it.

163
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 2: I'm Jack.

164
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 3: We're starting the show officially here. I should imagine that

165
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 3: I'm Jack Armstrong. He's Joe Getty on this. It is Monday,

166
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 3: June eighth, the year twenty twenty six. We're armstrong and

167
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 3: getting we approve of this year program. All right, here

168
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 3: comes another week. Here we go officially according to FCC

169
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 3: rules and rags at Mark.

170
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 2: We can save this.

171
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 4: It's possible to land this plane. But right now, CBS News,

172
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,200
Speaker 4: in my view, is on fire.

173
00:08:55,800 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 3: Oh that's out of touch in so many ways, including

174
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 3: his belief that CBS News is still a big deal.

175
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 3: I mean, he's treating it like this is a hallowed

176
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 3: institution that matters to so many lives. I wish major

177
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 3: news outlets mattered more, but they don't.

178
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:18,079
Speaker 2: They just don't.

179
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 3: There's like, there's like eight influencers out there who you know,

180
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 3: try on who opened boxes on an Instagram feed? Who

181
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 3: get as many viewers as you to Scott Peldy back

182
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 3: when you had a job, boy, And I honestly think,

183
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 3: I mean, is he just naturally slow talker or does

184
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 3: he believe because in that clip it just reeked of

185
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:48,200
Speaker 3: I believe everyone is hanging on my yes, every yes

186
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:56,440
Speaker 3: or no, we're not well. And then so we don't

187
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 3: have time to get into this. We'll get into it

188
00:09:57,920 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 3: later this hour. But if you didn't watch sixty minutes

189
00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 3: LA last night, it was amazing. It was as if

190
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 3: they designed it to.

191
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 2: Have people attack them story one.

192
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 3: I started watching it and I thought, well, you can't

193
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 3: actually be doing this the week of this controversy. You

194
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 3: can't actually be doing this with your lead story, are you?

195
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 3: And they did, and it just kept going and going

196
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 3: and going, and I was like, wow, what a mistake.

197
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,560
Speaker 3: They did one of their classic sixty minute stories. And

198
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 3: I'm a big sixty minutes fan, but where it was

199
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 3: so incredibly biased. I mean, it was just outland. It

200
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 3: was all about violent threats against judges. And it went

201
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 3: on for fifteen minutes about all the violent threats, nasty

202
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 3: things Republicans have said about judges that have put judges

203
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 3: in fear before they ever mentioned.

204
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 2: And it really looked to me that.

205
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 3: They tacked it in on the end because somebody said,

206
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 3: probably out to mention the whole Kavanaugh thing. Fifteen minutes

207
00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:03,560
Speaker 3: in they mentioned any uh statements by Democrats about Republican

208
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 3: judges of the Supreme Court. Wow, they acted like it

209
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:08,439
Speaker 3: was completely a one sided story, which.

210
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 2: Is just ridiculous.

211
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 3: Oh my god, And I thought, I can't believe you're

212
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 3: doing this, the very weak that this story exploded.

213
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 2: Now.

214
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:19,079
Speaker 3: I don't want to get too far into the weeds,

215
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 3: but aren't they encore presentations This kind of year doesn't matter.

216
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 2: I can't believe they ran that.

217
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 3: It is it the old double reverse Barry Weiss saying, oh,

218
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 3: you're not biased.

219
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 2: Look at this. I don't know.

220
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 3: They freshen up thing to do. They freshen up their

221
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 3: stories even than in the summer. I don't know anyway,

222
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 3: we'll talk more about that later. And Scott Pelly's interview

223
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,320
Speaker 3: where he is just I mean pompous oozed out of

224
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 3: his orrify. I almost said one specific keep in general

225
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 3: general orifice. We'll we'll get to our headlines next and

226
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 3: more news of the day.

227
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:55,720

Speaker 3: Madison Square Garden and next are up to nothing, winning

230
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 3: the first two on the road, which statistically very unlikely.

231
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 3: They aren't gonna win a Nash the NBA title, but

232
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,319
Speaker 3: Trump being there could be that could be quite the newsmaker.

233
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, for a variety of reasons, the fact

234
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 3: that Manhattan is such a blue city to start with.

235
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 3: But the New York fans were really really enjoying these

236
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 3: street parties outside of Madison Square Square Garden. They've been

237
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 3: huge the first two games, and they aren't allowed tonight

238
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 3: because Trump's going to be there for security reasons. So

239
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 3: you got all the people that would have been party

240
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:49,199
Speaker 3: in the street, tens of thousands ruined their party.

241
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:51,599
Speaker 2: So there's all kinds of people that are unhappy that

242
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 2: he's showing up.

243
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 3: Oh there's gonna be some booze and chants and god

244
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 3: knows what else.

245
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 2: It'll be exciting one way or the other.

246
00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 3: Hey, let's figure out who's reporting what it's the lead

247
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 3: story with other Myers, other take it away, Joe and Jack.

248
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 5: Good morning, Happy Monday. Let's find out how the networks

249
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 5: are covering the news. Starting with this CNN, Trump's NBC

250
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 5: interview ends abruptly, same story from the La Times. President

251
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:19,680
Speaker 5: Trump storms off NBC interview after claiming California elections were rigged.

252
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:23,200
Speaker 5: And from MS Now, Trump explodes that Meet the Press host,

253
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 5: saying you're either crooked or you're stupid.

254
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 3: Now we're gonna play those clips, and it's interesting, But

255
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,440
Speaker 3: the fact that that has led so many newscasts when

256
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 3: the war is back on in the Middle East is ridiculous.

257
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,959
Speaker 5: Speaking of the war in the Middle East from CBS News,

258
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:43,640

Speaker 5: to stop shooting.

260
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:50,960
Speaker 3: I was looking at our friend Ian Bremer's feed last night,

261
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 3: and he said, the fact that a US president told

262
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 3: Israel to not fight back when their capital is under

263
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 3: attack is really quite amazing.

264
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,560
Speaker 2: It's insane. Israel should not stop shooting.

265
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 3: They should do exactly the opposite and beat Hesbola once

266
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:04,560
Speaker 3: in for good.

267
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:11,000

Speaker 3: Yeah, Spencer Pratt is not going to make the final

270
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 3: two and is just depressing.

00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 2: More on that later, hecla.

272
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 5: US attorney accuses California blocking voter roll out at a mid

273
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:34,080

274
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 5: on fire and Barry Weiss should be removed.

275
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, we will bring you some unintentionally hilarious highlights of

276
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 3: that interview as well. Scott Pelley saying there's a thumb

277
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 3: on the scale for one side.

278
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 2: Are you effing kidding me? That's how bubbly bubbly bubble.

279
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 2: If he is.

280
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 5: From Newsmax Trump on warsh, I want him to do

281
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 5: whatever he wants on race, Oh.

282

284
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 5: fight on the White House South lawn for Trump's birthday.

285
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 2: Why what's the lawsuit about?

286
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 5: They're saying that you can't have an event like this

287
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 5: on Federal parklands.

288
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 3: All right, So you could have the trans chicks dancing

289
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 3: around and doing a drag show on the White House

290
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 3: lawn for Biden, but you can't have the UFC fight.

291
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 3: I don't like either one, particularly on the White House lawn.

292
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 2: But well, in.

293
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:37,400

296
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 5: There's always the lawsuit.

297
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:42,400

00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 2: Bro I don't know that. I've got to look into

00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 2: that story.

303
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, that one's interesting. It's a person who is paralyzed

304
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 5: from the neck down and that brain ship allowed him

305
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 5: to have some use of his arms. And wow, so

306
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,480

316
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 3: Well then, yeah, we'll dig deep into some of those

317
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 3: stories coming up.

318
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 2: Hope you can stay here and we've got a lot

319
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 2: for you today. A lot happened over the we again,

320
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 2: Armstrong and Getty.

321
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 6: Looks like these sides are listening to President Trump. Aron's

322
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 6: Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps just announced they are halting attacks

323
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 6: against Israel, but maintained the ABI to fire again if

324
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:05,439
Speaker 6: the Israelis target Hesbola in Lebanon. This is a significant

325
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:08,479
Speaker 6: development and an indication we may be looking at an

326
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 6: off ramp here after a whirlwind twenty.

327
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 2: Four hours across the region.

328
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 6: I was speaking with President Trump as these missiles were

329
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 6: soaring through the skies of this country, getting his initial reaction,

330
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:23,160
Speaker 6: and the President told me what I would suggest to Iran,

331
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 6: You've shot your missiles. That's enough, get back to the

332
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:28,200
Speaker 6: table and make a deal.

333
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, well that's tree inks to Fox. So over the

334
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 3: weekend he got do you think Hesbola does anything without

335
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 3: Iran's Okay, I don't know the proper number, but I'd

336
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 3: say Iran has eighty three percent control something like that. Occasionally,

337
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 3: you know, they're miscommunications that sort of thing, but it's

338
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 3: pretty controlled. I would certainly think that if they needed

339
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,119
Speaker 3: them to stop, they have the control to say no

340
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 3: more agreed, one hundred percent control of that, I would guess.

341
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 3: So as well is firing into Israel. Iran fires into Israel,

342
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 3: including missiles and rockets and all kinds of stuff at

343
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 3: the capitol Tel Aviv, which.

344
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:13,400
Speaker 2: Is just amazing.

345
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 3: I mean, like a flurry of these things, a barrage.

346
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:21,200
Speaker 3: What do you suppose they were hoping to accomplish?

347
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:21,639
Speaker 2: I don't know.

348
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 3: Just it could be two three layers deep provoke Israel

349
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 3: into responding more harshly to get Trump pissed at BB

350
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 3: net Yaho because he perceives net Yah who is denying

351
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:37,239
Speaker 3: him the great deal that would solidify his reputation as

352
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 3: the world's greatest deal maker.

353
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 2: I don't know.

354
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:43,680
Speaker 3: And then trying to blow up some Jews is the

355
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,440
Speaker 3: you know, the kind of the first layer of analysis.

356
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 3: And sure I assume there's more strategy than just trying

357
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 3: to blow up some Jews, although that is.

358
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:55,359
Speaker 2: Their main goal in life. I'll never forget that. They

359
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:58,119
Speaker 2: get up every morning with you, Yeah, another day killing

360
00:18:58,160 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 2: the Jews. That's what I'm up to.

361
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 3: I was talking to my son Henry about that yesterday

362
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,639
Speaker 3: and why it would be in a unique situation for

363
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 3: Iran to have the bomb, because he brought up what

364
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 3: about the crazy person in North Korea. He is a

365
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 3: crazy person, but he's not crazy in the way of

366
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 3: he thinks things would be better if he was dead.

367
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 3: He's not that kind of crazy like the leadership of

368
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 3: Iran quite possibly is where they feel like the world

369
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 3: would be better if they were dead, as long as

370
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:29,879
Speaker 3: they bring about the end of Israel. Yeah, just as

371
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:31,880
Speaker 3: quick aside. I don't even know that I would agree

372
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 3: that Kim Jong un is crazy. I think he's he

373
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:36,919
Speaker 3: views the world very differently than we do. But I

374
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 3: was just reading about how North Korea, at least you know, Pyonyang,

375
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:45,920
Speaker 3: in the elite class, are experiencing a an economic surge.

376
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 3: It's doing really really well, having sold a bunch of

377
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:53,119
Speaker 3: arms and men to Russia, and China is really interested

378
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:56,199
Speaker 3: in enhancing that relationship. So they're doing pretty well for

379
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 3: a starving hermit kingdom. Just don't live in the countryside

380
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 3: or you might starve anyway. Yeah, back to Iran.

381
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:07,200
Speaker 2: I wanted to find the Donald Trump.

382
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 3: So Donald Trump, in the middle of the night posted

383
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:14,119
Speaker 3: this on truth Social Israel and Iran must immediately stop

384
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 3: shooting President Donald J.

385
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:19,200
Speaker 2: Trump. I really feel like that's got.

386
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 3: The look of the parent in the aisle of the

387
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:27,719
Speaker 3: grocery store who says you stop it right now, and

388
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:31,400
Speaker 3: they keep going and you can't, can't or don't do

389
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 3: anything else. Hey, you're better off not saying anything if

390
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 3: you're not going to do anything, because it makes you

391
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:41,879
Speaker 3: look really weak. Well, and I could certainly argue, and

392
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:47,400
Speaker 3: I am biased between Islamo fascism and our longtime all

393
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:51,119
Speaker 3: allies in Israel. But it also has the view of

394
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 3: the feel of like a progressive who will punch you

395
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 3: in the face and say.

396
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 2: Non violence, nonviolence, let's not escalate.

397
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, you got your licks in the and now all

398
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 3: of a sudden, you're a good boy, like Iron says

399
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 3: it's halting Israel attacks after Trump says both sides stop shooting.

400
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:09,879
Speaker 3: So so the freaking IRGC is trying to play to

401
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 3: Trump and say, oh, yes, sir, we agree, it's time

402
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 3: to bargain, it's time to talk.

403
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:15,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's true.

404
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 3: There is a moral relativism aspect to the president posting

405
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 3: Israel and Iran.

406
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:22,200
Speaker 2: Must immediately stop shooting.

407
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,119
Speaker 3: Obviously we're at war with one of these countries and

408
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 3: an ally of the other that we give billions of

409
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 3: dollars in military aid too, so to put them both

410
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:30,680
Speaker 3: together just.

411
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:31,160
Speaker 2: Kind of odd.

412
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 3: Well, not only that, but Israel hasn't vowed to wipe

413
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:37,119
Speaker 3: out every Lebanese person on earth if it takes a

414
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 3: thousand years.

415
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:40,439
Speaker 2: Come on, you know, maybe I'll get to that.

416
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,679
Speaker 3: Great post over the weekend by Sam Harris, the podcaster.

417
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 2: If you know him, he's a.

418
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:51,440
Speaker 3: Well known atheist, but he really really hates Islamo fascism.

419
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:53,440
Speaker 3: Got a statement on that we'll get to a little later.

420
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 3: Can you can you play that? Forget what number it was,

421
00:21:57,600 --> 00:21:59,440
Speaker 3: the one about the hoo Thi's taken over. I hadn't

422
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:03,440
Speaker 3: even heard the angle fifty three there for us Hansome.

423
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:06,399
Speaker 6: But there was an interesting development earlier today when the

424
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 6: Iran Bachhutis in Yemen got involved in the fight, because

425
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:12,439
Speaker 6: not only did they launch two ballistic missiles toward Israel,

426
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 6: the Rutis announced that they were closing the gateway to

427
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:21,200
Speaker 6: the Red Sea indefinitely. And it is known as Bubba Mundub,

428
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:24,679
Speaker 6: which translates broadly to the Gateway of tears, and that

429
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 6: is what it is referred to in the region because

430
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 6: around twelve percent of the world shipping actually passes there

431
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:31,199
Speaker 6: through the Red Sea. And so we're now looking at

432
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 6: two international shipping lanes and more levers that the Iranians

433
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:36,919
Speaker 6: are trying to pull because they're backed in a corner,

434
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:40,920
Speaker 6: they don't have much leverage at the negotiating table, so.

435
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 2: That seems like a problem. Ah.

436
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, then you've got this Trump who's doing lots of interviews.

437
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 3: I guess told the Financial Times that Israeli Prime Minister

438
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 3: Benjamin NETTINAO, who will have to accept any ceasefire deal

439
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 3: with the US brokers because quote, he doesn't call the shots,

440
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:57,200
Speaker 3: you won't have any choice.

441
00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 2: I call the shots. I call all the shots. He

442
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 2: doesn't call the shots.

443
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 3: Trump said, Yeah, Axios and others are reporting that.

444
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't know exactly what that's all about.

445
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:13,400
Speaker 3: Again, I think that since since you don't actually call

446
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:16,200
Speaker 3: those shots, and it might be very clear like today,

447
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:18,399
Speaker 3: that you don't have any control over that, I just

448
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 3: I just think that makes you look weaker rather than stronger.

449
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 3: I guess He's hoping that him saying it, Trump's hoping

450
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 3: that saying it out loud will lead to them Israel

451
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 3: doing what he said. But when you've got rockets, like

452
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 3: I said earlier, when you're being your capital is being

453
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:35,639
Speaker 3: shot at, what are you supposed to do?

454
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:38,880
Speaker 2: Just absorb it and hope the iron dome holds and

455
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 2: not fight back.

456
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 3: I was just gonna say the view within Israel, and

457
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 3: there's a great deal of pressure because you know, with

458
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 3: all due respect to their thinking, to the greater process

459
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 3: in the regional Bye and Trump wanting to make a

460
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 3: deal with Iran. They're shooting at us. We're gonna shoot back.

461
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:57,640
Speaker 3: And not only that, we're gonna beat them. They're doing

462
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:00,680
Speaker 3: exactly what the United States would do. We're not gonna

463
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 3: just barely barely. You come to a very tense ceasefire.

464
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:08,160
Speaker 3: These guys have been vowing to wipe us out. Forever

465
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 3: we're on the front foot. We're gonna crush them. That's

466
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:14,159
Speaker 3: precisely what they have to do. God history is clear

467
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 3: in this regard.

468
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 2: I so I mentioned.

469
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 3: Sam Harris wrote a piece over the weekend for a

470
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 3: sub stack. If the Palestinians laid down their arms, there

471
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 3: would be peace. There could be a two state solution.

472
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 3: There could even be a one state solution. It wouldn't matter.

473
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 3: This is for the crowd that's out there waving the

474
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,200
Speaker 3: Palestinian flag through all of these things all the time.

475
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:36,920
Speaker 2: Right.

476
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 3: If the Palestinians simply stopped killing Jews and stopped building

477
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,639
Speaker 3: a culture that celebrates pointless murder and martyrdom at its

478
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,919
Speaker 3: highest values, there could be a diverse, tolerant, and prosperous

479
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 3: society between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea. There

480
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 3: could have been one eighty years ago. But if the

481
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 3: Israelis laid down their weapons, there would be a genocide.

482
00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:59,120
Speaker 3: This was obviously true in October seventh, twenty twenty three,

483
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:01,400
Speaker 3: and for anyone who's been paying attention, it's been true

484
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:04,400
Speaker 3: on every other day since the founding of the State

485
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:09,920
Speaker 3: of Israel. This is an oft repeated refrain. But that's

486
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 3: the difference between the two sides. If the Islamo fascist

487
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:20,200
Speaker 3: Muslim fundamentalist nut jobs would stop fighting, there would be peace.

488
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 3: If Israel stops fighting, they will be killed, every single

489
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 3: one of them, right right. I think the classic saying

490
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 3: is if the it used to be the Arabs, but

491
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 3: if the Islama fascists laid down their arms, there would

492
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 3: be no war. If Israel laid down its arms, there

493
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:41,119
Speaker 3: would be no Israel. To that point, this is super interesting.

494
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:47,200
Speaker 3: Everybody's seen, I think or should have the Bill Clinton

495
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 3: clip where he describes how Yaser Arafat rejected a great

496
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 3: peace offer at Camp David, which would have given the

497
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:56,200
Speaker 3: Palestinian state ninety six percent of the West Bank Landswaps

498
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:59,639
Speaker 3: capital in East Jerusalem. Clinton says Arafat lied to one

499
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:03,359
Speaker 3: that the Palestinian leadership never actually wanted a two state solution.

500
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:06,880
Speaker 3: They wanted to destroy Israel. We've played that clip before,

501
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 3: maybe we can grab it and play it later tomorrow,

502
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:12,399
Speaker 3: et cetera. And once in a while you have like

503
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 3: an Israel hater say, well, Clinton's biased these pro Israel

504
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:19,399
Speaker 3: blah blah blah. And the interesting part of this is

505
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:25,200
Speaker 3: I did this Twitter account has this video of former

506
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 3: Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak, who's a major Arab leader who

507
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:32,120
Speaker 3: is directly involved in negotiations. He says exactly the same

508
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 3: thing from the Arab side. He talks about the Mina

509
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 3: House conference in Cairo, as well as the Camp David

510
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:41,400
Speaker 3: negotiations in nineteen seventy eight, all failed because the Palestinians

511
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 3: repeatedly rejecting any offer. The Oslo Accords were signed, but

512
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,479
Speaker 3: because Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad were not involved,

513
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 3: they derailed the accords any chance for peace by initiating

514
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 3: four years as suicide attacks in Israel. Then came the

515
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 3: second Camp David negotiations in two thousand, which Erafat agreed to,

516
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:02,400
Speaker 3: then rejected and instead initiated this second Intifada, and Mubarak

517
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 3: explains in this video how the Palestinians refused to even

518
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:08,359
Speaker 3: participate in the Mina House Conference in nineteen seventy seven.

519
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:12,199
Speaker 3: Describes repeated opportunities they were given, and he goes into

520
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 3: great details.

521
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:14,200
Speaker 2: The Israelis were.

522
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:17,119
Speaker 3: Willing to negotiate on difficult issues like who would control security.

523
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 3: The Palestinians, according to Mbara, kept saying no and wasting

524
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:24,200
Speaker 3: chance after chance. He speaks with clear frustration about how

525
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 3: for decades the Palestinian side has rejected peace initiative initiatives

526
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:30,400
Speaker 3: and realistic compromises.

527
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:35,200
Speaker 2: They don't want a two state solution. They want all the.

528
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 3: Jews to die, and so does Uren and Sodas has

529
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 3: Belah and all of our EN's proxies. So I don't

530
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:47,119
Speaker 3: know where that leaves us. I'm you know, I'm a

531
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 3: super hawk on this. I think we should just blast

532
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 3: the hell out of the Iranian military until they submit.

533
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 3: I think that's the only way out of this situation.

534
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 3: But I don't think that's what we're going to do.

535
00:27:58,880 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 3: I don't think that's what we're going to do.

536
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 2: I'd be surprised if that's what we do.

537
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:06,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, which means some sort of negotiation where they get

538
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:09,119
Speaker 3: money or continue to try to get a nuke or

539
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 3: get to charge tolls in the in the Strait where

540
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:14,399
Speaker 3: they didn't before or something.

541
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 2: Yeah.

542
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is a very frustrating time for me because

543
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 3: the administration is doing a lot of things that I

544
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:26,639
Speaker 3: think are absolutely great. The cracking down on fraud and

545
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:31,639
Speaker 3: reforming welfare are actually diminishing numbers of people's people on

546
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:33,879
Speaker 3: food stamps because of the you've got a work or

547
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:35,040
Speaker 3: volunteer requirements.

548
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 2: There's a little There are a.

549
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 3: Lot of good things happening, a lot of good directions academia,

550
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 3: school reform, blah blah blah. But boy, as I've said

551
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 3: now for several months, the whole thing the administration has

552
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 3: a feel of something that's crumbling, that's falling apart, that's flailing.

553
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 3: We'll see if you agree. The Welker Trump interview was

554
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:00,800
Speaker 3: not a good look, so we'll.

555
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 2: Get to that.

556
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 3: To kick off hour two, he walked out of an

557
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 3: interview on Meet the Press. But one of the things

558
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 3: during the interview earlier they got him all riled up

559
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 3: was her pressing him on the You know, during your campaign,

560
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 3: you kept saying no more wars, no more wars, which

561
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 3: is all about I suppose that's an interesting side conversation.

562
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 3: To me, I wish Trump would do a better job

563
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:23,760
Speaker 3: of turning it around to what do you want to do?

564
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 3: They're trying to get a nuclear weapon. Are you okay

565
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 3: with a Ran getting a nuclear weapon? I'm not so,

566
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 3: regardless what I said on the campaign trail, we found

567
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:34,320
Speaker 3: out they're this close to a nuclear weapon, I got

568
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 3: to stop it.

569
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 2: I wish he was better at pivoting to that, because

570
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:38,479
Speaker 2: that is the question.

571
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:40,800
Speaker 3: The question is not what the price of gas is,

572
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 3: or what campaign promises.

573
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 2: Were or anything else.

574
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:46,720
Speaker 3: Really, it's are you okay with a Ran getting a

575
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 3: nuclear weapon? Or let me think about this for ten

576
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 3: seconds there, I'm ready. I campaigned on no unnecessary or

577
00:29:54,080 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 3: unnecessarily long wars. This is a necessary war, and it

578
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:03,000
Speaker 3: will be as short as humanly possible. But it has

579
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:05,720
Speaker 3: to happen. That's the difference. Kristen, what's your next question?

580
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 2: Anyway?

581
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 3: So he gets he's got no ground to stand on

582
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 3: arguing about the twenty twenty election being stolen in my mind,

583
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 3: and that's the thing that got him so mad that

584
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 3: he stood up and stormed out of the interview. So

585
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 3: we'll play that for you later. I care it's exciting stuff.

586
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 3: We got mail bag on the way next day.

587
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 2: Here.

588
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, the who thies have just announced an official blockade

589
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 3: of all maritime traffic by Israeli vessels. So that's not

590
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 3: gonna stand. We'll see where that goes over the next

591
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 3: several hours. All Right, here's your freedom loving quote of

592
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 3: the day. It's a lengthy one. Quoting from Tim Sanderfer's Fabulous,

593
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 3: Fabulous book Proclaiming Liberty. He's describing Thomas the formation of

594
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:54,280
Speaker 3: Thomas Jefferson's political philosophy, and that he was a big

595
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 3: fan of the historian, the ancient Greek historian Polybius. I

596
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 3: guess he was lived a century before Caesar. He argued

597
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 3: that societies go through a cycle this will sound familiar,

598
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:10,440
Speaker 3: from freedom to tyranny that he called anapsyclosis, pointing to

599
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:13,720
Speaker 3: the violent experiences of the ancient Greek democracies blah blah blah,

600
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:16,840
Speaker 3: constant civil war that haves have. Polabius argued that the

601
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 3: pattern begins when the people, exhausted by tyranny, overthrow their rulers, and,

602
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:24,720
Speaker 3: remembering with terror the injustices they suffered, refused to select

603
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 3: a new king, but established a democracy instead. This lasts

604
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 3: quote as long as some of those who survive.

605
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, as long as some of.

606
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 3: Those survive who experience the evils of the oligarchical dominion.

607
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 3: But in the next generation, people forget what tyranny was

608
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 3: like and lose their appreciation for freedom quote. They begin

609
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 3: to lust for power instead, and the easiest way to

610
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 3: obtain power is to give people money, either their own

611
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 3: or money sees through taxes or foreign conquest. This practice

612
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:57,680
Speaker 3: ultimately wrecks the democracy because the populace quote, having grown

613
00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 3: accustomed to feed at the expense of others, seeks out

614
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 3: a demagogue who institutes the rule of violence, confiscating the

615
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 3: property the rich for redistribution to his own supporters. That

616
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 3: causes people to quote degenerate again into perfect savages, and

617
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 3: find once more a master and a monarch to control

618
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:19,360
Speaker 3: it all to keep the scam going. Human nature does

619
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:24,160
Speaker 3: not change. Mailbag, who drop us it ote mailbag and

620
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 3: armstrung A getty dot Com Paul writes, this sums up

621
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 3: your conversation this morning. Comparison is the thief of joy

622
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:37,560
Speaker 3: hedonic treadmill m don't buy it, go with a peloton instead.

623
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 3: How about this from Joseph's Joseph Scott Pelly's New York

624
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 3: Times interview, which we're going to play your highlights of,

625
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 3: is an unintended eulogy for legacy media and a portrait
