Why from Studio C. 0:00:36.200 --> 0:00:37.960 We're in a dimly lit room, he put in the 0:00:38.040 --> 0:00:38.640 vowels of. 0:00:38.640 --> 0:00:43.239 The Armstrong in getting communications compound. After Memorial Day weekend 0:00:43.880 --> 0:00:45.720 the unofficial start of summer. 0:00:46.280 --> 0:00:48.400 So time to ramp it down. 0:00:48.800 --> 0:00:50.800 It's time to go through the motions, time to go 0:00:50.840 --> 0:00:55.560 into summer mode. Time to just you know, kind of 0:00:56.000 --> 0:00:59.240 just pretend to be here at least for the rest 0:00:59.280 --> 0:00:59.760 of the summer. 0:01:00.280 --> 0:01:03.920 Today, today we are under the tutelage of our general manager. 0:01:04.240 --> 0:01:08.160 You know, I was gonna go with America's war dead 0:01:08.959 --> 0:01:12.160 day after Memorial Day. Must tip our cap to the 0:01:12.200 --> 0:01:15.319 true meaning of the holiday weekend. But then, of course 0:01:15.600 --> 0:01:18.839 our true general manager after that is Trump, Trump, always Trump. 0:01:18.880 --> 0:01:22.319 Fifteen different Trump stories the first account. How many is 0:01:22.360 --> 0:01:25.600 you scan your favorite to news sources? How many of 0:01:25.640 --> 0:01:29.919 the stories headline the first word is Trump, Trump declares Trump, 0:01:30.440 --> 0:01:32.320 crashs back Trump and whatever I know. 0:01:32.720 --> 0:01:35.840 I listened to NPR and they said King Charles is 0:01:35.920 --> 0:01:39.920 going to Canada today to open a session of parliament. 0:01:39.920 --> 0:01:42.119 But the first time the King of England has done 0:01:42.120 --> 0:01:44.839 that in decades. What message does that send to Donald Trump? 0:01:44.920 --> 0:01:47.560 Will be discussing later, Okay, so it's got to obviously 0:01:47.680 --> 0:01:51.520 be about Trump. Couldn't possibly be about anything else anyway. 0:01:51.720 --> 0:01:54.880 That's just the life with the world we live in Canada. 0:01:55.320 --> 0:01:58.960 We're not annexing, Yakay, It's going to be fine. And 0:01:59.000 --> 0:02:01.360 that summertime now once you did, since you mentioned the 0:02:01.480 --> 0:02:03.640 ward ed situation, my son who is in boy Scouts, 0:02:03.680 --> 0:02:06.080 they did a cool thing yesterday where he and his 0:02:06.200 --> 0:02:09.960 troop got to the local cemetery early and put up 0:02:09.960 --> 0:02:12.960 all the little flags before the big ceremony started with 0:02:13.040 --> 0:02:15.000 the band and the singing and everything like that, which 0:02:15.040 --> 0:02:17.440 I beautiful. So my shame had never been to before, 0:02:17.480 --> 0:02:20.440 even though I've lived in that town for twenty five years, 0:02:21.240 --> 0:02:24.160 I'd never been to the big Memorial Day celebration they 0:02:24.160 --> 0:02:26.760 have in the morning at the cemetery. And it was 0:02:27.320 --> 0:02:30.400 really cool, and I was glad that he was participating 0:02:30.400 --> 0:02:32.120 in that and seeing what it was all about. 0:02:32.840 --> 0:02:34.120 Yeah, that's great, Good for you. 0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:36.640 I hope everybody got a chance to do something meaningful 0:02:36.720 --> 0:02:38.800 or at least to cast their thoughts in that direction. 0:02:39.000 --> 0:02:42.040 As I was tweeting and sending around picks to the crew, 0:02:42.320 --> 0:02:45.440 Judy and I went to a historical site, a fort 0:02:46.360 --> 0:02:49.120 to think about war and peace and freedom and that 0:02:49.160 --> 0:02:51.520 sort of thing. It was absolutely fabulous. More on that 0:02:51.560 --> 0:02:51.839 to come. 0:02:52.240 --> 0:02:52.720 Awesome. 0:02:53.480 --> 0:02:55.880 The big story on NPR as I was listening on 0:02:55.919 --> 0:02:57.960 the way in just because it gets me angry, So 0:02:58.000 --> 0:02:59.679 I listened to NPR. It gets me angry, gets my 0:02:59.680 --> 0:03:01.800 blood flow and gets my heart pumping, and I'm ready 0:03:01.840 --> 0:03:02.200 to work. 0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:04.560 So in spite of that whole summer slack and off 0:03:04.560 --> 0:03:06.639 speech you gave, so you're still you know, you got 0:03:06.680 --> 0:03:08.400 your You're you're in the game. 0:03:08.720 --> 0:03:11.720 But their lead story is they're suing the Trump administration. 0:03:11.840 --> 0:03:14.919 They just announced that because Trump's trying to take away 0:03:14.960 --> 0:03:17.400 their funding and they're suing over some sort of he 0:03:17.440 --> 0:03:19.560 can't do that only Congress scan, which I think they're 0:03:19.560 --> 0:03:24.480 probably right on that, but AnyWho, So that got me 0:03:24.560 --> 0:03:28.800 going utterly shameless. That reminds me everything reminds me of 0:03:28.840 --> 0:03:33.440 something I was just reading about. How a really interesting 0:03:33.480 --> 0:03:37.000 perspective on and we're talking about the Israel Hamas than 0:03:37.120 --> 0:03:44.080 here the experts and historians cited by the nprs of 0:03:44.120 --> 0:03:47.440 the world over and over again. Historians are experts. 0:03:47.480 --> 0:03:50.920 On the other hand, dispute Israel's characterization of the tunnels. 0:03:51.120 --> 0:03:53.720 They went through some of these experts and who they 0:03:53.760 --> 0:03:56.440 are and how many times they're quoted by various news sources, 0:03:56.520 --> 0:04:02.080 and these people are cranks, but they are royal on NPR. 0:04:02.760 --> 0:04:02.960 Right. 0:04:03.720 --> 0:04:05.440 I've got one of those kind of stories coming up 0:04:05.440 --> 0:04:07.960 a little bit later too. I grilled last night, a 0:04:08.000 --> 0:04:10.840 Memorial Day tradition in my family, and I just remember 0:04:10.840 --> 0:04:13.000 when I think about Memorial Day as a kid, my 0:04:13.080 --> 0:04:16.760 dad always grilled. I hate grilling. As I've said many times, 0:04:16.800 --> 0:04:19.760 I absolutely freaking hate it. It makes me so angry. 0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:21.440 I'm bad at it. I don't want to be good 0:04:21.480 --> 0:04:23.320 at it, so don't missend me any tips. I don't 0:04:23.320 --> 0:04:24.359 want to be good at it. I don't want to 0:04:24.360 --> 0:04:25.720 do it. I don't ever want to grill again. 0:04:25.920 --> 0:04:29.240 I hate it. What are you like, transgender or something? Man? 0:04:29.520 --> 0:04:31.400 I know it is no man. 0:04:31.480 --> 0:04:34.400 It is the least manly aspect of my entire being 0:04:34.440 --> 0:04:36.120 that I hate grilling as much as I do. 0:04:36.480 --> 0:04:36.960 Oh. 0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:39.240 The problem is I never get the fire hot enough. 0:04:39.279 --> 0:04:41.640 I can always lay my hand on the grill. That's 0:04:41.680 --> 0:04:44.159 how not hot it is, and it'll take you a 0:04:44.240 --> 0:04:46.520 week to cook your steaks. And we got these because 0:04:46.520 --> 0:04:49.159 we do ads for Omaha steaks. So we got these 0:04:49.160 --> 0:04:52.640 fantastic Omaha steaks. I mean, just like the greatest quality 0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:55.359 steaks you can possibly get. Got filet mignon on there, 0:04:55.400 --> 0:04:57.160 I got tendroline on there. I got all kinds of 0:04:57.160 --> 0:04:59.679 great stuff on there. Not chicken. I don't eat chicken. 0:05:00.160 --> 0:05:02.480 Give that's my neighbors or something. Maybe you like chicken, 0:05:02.839 --> 0:05:07.840 but anyway, wow, but yeah, no, it's great chicken. We've 0:05:07.839 --> 0:05:08.560 cooked a chicken. 0:05:08.720 --> 0:05:11.080 Oh my shirt, it's fantastic. I just don't eat chicken. 0:05:11.320 --> 0:05:12.800 Barbecued chicken sandwiches. 0:05:12.839 --> 0:05:14.920 You got your chicken, you got your cheese, you got 0:05:14.960 --> 0:05:17.680 your bacon, a nice pumper nickel bread or something, a 0:05:17.680 --> 0:05:18.799 little barbecue sauce. 0:05:18.839 --> 0:05:21.080 I'm telling you, maybe if it came pre grilled, because 0:05:21.080 --> 0:05:21.599 I hate grilling. 0:05:21.640 --> 0:05:23.680 But so, But the point was my son, the boy scout, 0:05:23.920 --> 0:05:26.119 it's starting to take over the grilling. He did most 0:05:26.120 --> 0:05:28.520 of it. He got it started and everything like that. 0:05:28.680 --> 0:05:31.640 So if he can do that, I told him, I said, man, 0:05:31.839 --> 0:05:34.120 he's thirteen. I said, man, you take over this. I'm 0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:36.360 going to be so happy if this becomes your thing 0:05:36.920 --> 0:05:39.160 and he watches all these YouTube videos, he's got all 0:05:39.200 --> 0:05:40.640 these shows he watched. No, Dad, you got to do 0:05:40.680 --> 0:05:43.120 this and then go ahead, you be in charge. Perfectly 0:05:43.200 --> 0:05:45.600 yourself out that. Yeah, knock yourself out, enjoy it, make 0:05:45.640 --> 0:05:46.200 this your thing. 0:05:46.720 --> 0:05:49.320 Wow, that's great. I know, that's super. I know, I'm 0:05:49.400 --> 0:05:51.599 very excited about that. You know what. 0:05:51.680 --> 0:05:53.520 Speaking of food and barbecue and that sort of thing, 0:05:53.520 --> 0:05:55.680 we did the classic. We had friends over and we 0:05:55.760 --> 0:05:59.480 had burgers and hot dogs on the grill for attle hosteaks. 0:05:59.520 --> 0:06:03.160 Actually, burger on the grill, especially those burgers is so good. 0:06:03.560 --> 0:06:05.440 They're so great. And you know, I go back to 0:06:05.440 --> 0:06:06.000 my principle. 0:06:06.000 --> 0:06:09.760 There have been times I've knocked myself out trying to 0:06:09.800 --> 0:06:12.680 prepare an incredible meal, you know, with the basting and 0:06:12.760 --> 0:06:16.599 the marinade and then the you know whatever, you slop 0:06:16.640 --> 0:06:19.280 it on on the grill and you smoke it for nine. 0:06:19.080 --> 0:06:20.560 Hours and blah blah blah, and. 0:06:20.560 --> 0:06:23.120 By the end of the year physically and mentally exhausted, 0:06:23.279 --> 0:06:25.760 and you know, it's it's really good. Or you could 0:06:25.800 --> 0:06:29.600 have burghers and dogs on the grill and have like 0:06:30.080 --> 0:06:32.600 the highest level of deliciousness known to man. And its 0:06:32.640 --> 0:06:36.680 practically effortless for normal men who can grill anyway, grow 0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:38.599 have sun skin, or want to. 0:06:38.880 --> 0:06:40.120 That's my thing. I don't want. 0:06:40.480 --> 0:06:43.440 That's the really missing element here is I have no 0:06:43.560 --> 0:06:47.480 desire to, right, sure, but so my son does. 0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:48.359 So that's fantastic. 0:06:48.960 --> 0:06:51.080 Before we get to the opening clip, well, maybe we 0:06:51.080 --> 0:06:53.279 should play the opening clip and that'll start the conversation, 0:06:53.320 --> 0:06:55.800 because we might be at a real turning point in 0:06:55.839 --> 0:06:58.919 this whole Ukraine Russia thing. Let's start to show officially 0:06:58.960 --> 0:07:00.800 before we get in trouble with you and get our 0:07:00.880 --> 0:07:01.599 funding yanked. 0:07:01.640 --> 0:07:03.919 I'm Jack Armstrong. He's Joe Getti on this. 0:07:04.040 --> 0:07:06.880 It is a Tuesday made the twenty seventh or twenty 0:07:06.960 --> 0:07:09.480 twenty five, where Armstrong and getting we approve of this program. 0:07:09.720 --> 0:07:12.440 Let's begin then officially recording the FCC Rules of Regulations. 0:07:12.440 --> 0:07:13.720 The show starts at mark. 0:07:13.920 --> 0:07:16.760 I'm not happy with what Putin's doing. He's killing a 0:07:16.800 --> 0:07:18.640 lot of people, and I don't know what the hell 0:07:18.680 --> 0:07:21.640 happened to Putin. I've known him a long time, always 0:07:21.680 --> 0:07:25.080 gotten along with him, but he's sending rockets into cities 0:07:25.240 --> 0:07:27.720 and killing people. We're in the middle of talking and 0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:31.040 he's shooting rockets. Into Kiev and other cities. I don't 0:07:31.120 --> 0:07:31.720 like it at all. 0:07:34.720 --> 0:07:39.200 Biggest attack by Russia on Ukraine since the war began. 0:07:39.320 --> 0:07:41.560 I know, I've said that several times in the last 0:07:41.560 --> 0:07:45.000 several weeks. That's because they keep increasing their attacks to 0:07:45.080 --> 0:07:48.320 outdo the one before. I'm not exactly sure what the 0:07:48.400 --> 0:07:51.640 strategy is there from Putin, but you heard what Trump 0:07:51.720 --> 0:07:55.000 said there, and then the new Chancellor of Germany yesterday 0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:59.160 announced no restrictions. Restrictions are off on Ukraine. He announced 0:07:59.160 --> 0:08:02.680 that for NATO, including the United States. He said, no 0:08:02.800 --> 0:08:06.360 more restrictions on NATO supplied arms. You can fire as 0:08:06.440 --> 0:08:08.840 far into Russia as you can with these weapons, which 0:08:08.840 --> 0:08:09.800 includes Moscow. 0:08:10.640 --> 0:08:13.920 Wow. Wow, all right, that's big, Yes, so big. 0:08:14.680 --> 0:08:19.760 On the Trump clip five to twelve dimensional chess or 0:08:19.840 --> 0:08:24.240 had he actually flattered himself that he and Putin had 0:08:24.240 --> 0:08:25.880 a relationship and. 0:08:27.560 --> 0:08:30.360 I mean that line about what happened to Putin? Nothing. 0:08:30.880 --> 0:08:33.760 He's one of the most consistent human beings I've ever observed. 0:08:34.320 --> 0:08:36.040 What is up with Trump? 0:08:36.160 --> 0:08:38.880 Well, George Bush made the same mistakes, so did Barack Obama. 0:08:38.920 --> 0:08:41.240 Sending Hillary Clinton there with the reset button. Oh, it's 0:08:41.280 --> 0:08:44.120 just the evil Bush administration. You're a nice guy. We 0:08:44.160 --> 0:08:47.240 can reset relationships. I don't know why these people don't 0:08:47.320 --> 0:08:49.959 understand what he is, but maybe Trump does now and 0:08:50.000 --> 0:08:51.240 what that means I don't know. 0:08:51.720 --> 0:08:53.720 Well, And that's one of Putin's greatest skills too, is 0:08:53.720 --> 0:08:56.640 to flatter you into thinking that you're buds and oh, finally, 0:08:56.880 --> 0:09:00.320 finally a real leader of leader. I can talk to 0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:04.240 one who understands the world. He he's a genius of that. 0:09:04.559 --> 0:09:06.720 Putin is an evil genius. 0:09:06.920 --> 0:09:11.160 Well, what's his firing on civilians all weekend long in 0:09:11.320 --> 0:09:15.040 Ukraine and blowing up buses and schools and actual hospitals, 0:09:15.120 --> 0:09:17.559 not fake Hamas hospitals and everything else. 0:09:17.600 --> 0:09:18.839 What's what's his game? 0:09:20.720 --> 0:09:24.480 Demoralize the Ukrainians? I guess, although, as a couple of 0:09:24.520 --> 0:09:27.800 different wars have shown us, in particular World War Two, 0:09:28.280 --> 0:09:31.880 this sort of bombing of civilian populations does not reduce 0:09:31.960 --> 0:09:32.520 their resolve. 0:09:32.679 --> 0:09:34.760 It increases it, It hardens it. 0:09:35.040 --> 0:09:37.320 Whether it's the Battle of Britain and the blitz in 0:09:37.320 --> 0:09:41.000 London or the bombing of Dresden. The German people got 0:09:41.160 --> 0:09:45.920 more resolute because of that, we found out, so Germany goes. 0:09:46.000 --> 0:09:49.840 Nobody knows Germany's missiles that they've been supplying Ukraine travel 0:09:49.960 --> 0:09:53.520 over three hundred miles, which is well beyond Moscow. And 0:09:53.960 --> 0:09:56.520 as I said, he announced yesterday no more limitations on 0:09:56.600 --> 0:09:58.320 them where you can shoot those things, and they're going 0:09:58.400 --> 0:09:59.600 to send a whole bunch more of them. 0:09:59.640 --> 0:10:02.520 So this could be a major turning point in this 0:10:02.520 --> 0:10:07.319 this conflict. Where is Trump? That's well, you know, I 0:10:07.360 --> 0:10:10.280 don't forget, which analystized reading yesterday the balls and Trump's court, 0:10:10.320 --> 0:10:13.800 it absolutely is. Is he going to say, which they 0:10:13.880 --> 0:10:16.440 hinted at last week, that's it, you guys don't want peace, 0:10:16.480 --> 0:10:18.920 I'm out no more, and we back off and just 0:10:18.960 --> 0:10:20.360 get out of it, which would be a win for 0:10:20.400 --> 0:10:23.600 Russia or huge US. Or does he take this personally, 0:10:23.600 --> 0:10:25.920 which I'm hoping he does personally, because that's the angle 0:10:25.960 --> 0:10:28.160 I'm coming from. I hope he takes it personally, that 0:10:28.160 --> 0:10:31.640 that Russia's treating him like a punk, putin specifically treating 0:10:31.679 --> 0:10:32.319 him like a punk. 0:10:32.640 --> 0:10:34.120 I find it kind of scary that he's got a 0:10:34.160 --> 0:10:37.079 quote unquote ticket personally, but I think you're one hundred 0:10:37.080 --> 0:10:39.520 percent right. We'll see that there's no way to run 0:10:39.559 --> 0:10:40.760 America's foreign policy. 0:10:40.800 --> 0:10:42.880 But so we got some headlines on the way, we 0:10:42.960 --> 0:10:44.920 got some mail bag, we got some other news of 0:10:44.960 --> 0:10:46.920 the day, and there's lots of it because we are 0:10:46.960 --> 0:10:48.960 off for four entire days. 0:10:49.320 --> 0:10:55.920 Yes, and it was fantastic, mostly clarious. I'm mostly uh parented, 0:10:56.080 --> 0:10:57.720 which is fine. Yeah, that's what I signed up for. 0:10:57.800 --> 0:11:01.120 It relax. I wouldn't call it relaxing, but it was. 0:11:01.400 --> 0:11:03.959 It was satisfying. There you go, satisfying. It's a very 0:11:04.000 --> 0:11:04.760 satisfying week. 0:11:04.840 --> 0:11:08.080 That's where I'll go with had purpose right, Yes, the 0:11:08.120 --> 0:11:09.440 secret to a happy long exactly. 0:11:09.520 --> 0:11:11.360 Laid my head down on the pillow at night, feeling 0:11:11.440 --> 0:11:13.080 like I'd done what I was supposed to do, which 0:11:13.120 --> 0:11:15.680 is I on the other hand, which is what I'm sorry. 0:11:15.679 --> 0:11:16.720 I didn't mean to interrupt. 0:11:16.760 --> 0:11:19.760 There is a good thing, all right, absolutely, and I 0:11:19.920 --> 0:11:25.160 with my frivolous golf and food and cocktails and cards 0:11:25.200 --> 0:11:30.360 with friends. It was just terrible, just unsatisfying. I didnt 0:11:30.400 --> 0:11:31.319 zero for those things. 0:11:32.120 --> 0:11:33.080 So we got a lot of the way in our 0:11:33.080 --> 0:11:34.520 text line if you want to join in any time 0:11:34.640 --> 0:11:36.679 is four one five two KFTC. 0:11:45.240 --> 0:11:47.840 So Katie, Katie, the newslady is off for a couple 0:11:47.880 --> 0:11:49.400 of days. I forget what it is she doing, or 0:11:49.400 --> 0:11:52.640 maybe it's a secret. I don't know, but she is done. 0:11:52.720 --> 0:11:55.720 I just say she's off of then, don't mumble weird, 0:11:56.280 --> 0:11:58.359 but the nonspiratorial one. 0:11:58.480 --> 0:12:02.600 Rice, just something toward is happening. That is what I'm doing. 0:12:02.640 --> 0:12:05.240 I'm suggesting something on toward is happening. So Joe and 0:12:05.280 --> 0:12:06.760 I are just gonna hit you with a bunch of 0:12:06.800 --> 0:12:10.240 headlines from different sources mine or from the last four days, 0:12:10.240 --> 0:12:12.080 because there are things I want to talk about that 0:12:12.120 --> 0:12:14.360 have happened over the last four days, including gonna start 0:12:14.360 --> 0:12:18.679 with a stupid one. Ex flight attendant caught smuggling one 0:12:18.720 --> 0:12:21.200 hundred pounds of a deadly new drug. So this is 0:12:21.200 --> 0:12:26.080 the hot new drug that's made from human bones. Oh stop, 0:12:26.120 --> 0:12:28.480 it's called cush. So if your kids are talking about 0:12:28.679 --> 0:12:30.680 being on the cush, you're getting some cush. That's what 0:12:30.720 --> 0:12:33.600 they're talking about, the hot new drug made from human bones. 0:12:34.440 --> 0:12:35.920 What more on that later. 0:12:36.280 --> 0:12:41.120 My favorite stupid headline, Harvard professor I'm sorry, Harvard Fire's 0:12:41.160 --> 0:12:50.160 professor for fabricating research on dishonesty. She studied dishonesty dishonestly and. 0:12:50.160 --> 0:12:52.800 Got fired for it. That's pretty funny. What do you expect? 0:12:53.440 --> 0:12:53.800 All right? 0:12:53.880 --> 0:12:56.360 So headlines, you got Russia carrying out its largest ever 0:12:56.440 --> 0:12:59.120 drone missile struck on Ukraine. We talked about that, with 0:12:59.160 --> 0:13:01.240 more than three hundred five the explosive drones at least 0:13:01.320 --> 0:13:05.640 nine cruise missiles reigning over a Kiev. Yeah, and I 0:13:05.679 --> 0:13:07.800 already mentioned this, but just to give you the quote 0:13:07.840 --> 0:13:12.120 from the new German Chancellor over the weekend, there are 0:13:12.160 --> 0:13:16.720 no longer any rage restrictions range restrictions on weapons supplied Ukraine, 0:13:16.760 --> 0:13:19.720 not from the British, not from the French, not from US, 0:13:19.760 --> 0:13:20.160 and not. 0:13:20.080 --> 0:13:21.720 From the Americans either. He says. 0:13:21.840 --> 0:13:23.280 I don't know if he gets to speak for us, 0:13:23.400 --> 0:13:25.720 or if he'd already worked that out, but that's what 0:13:25.760 --> 0:13:26.080 he said. 0:13:26.800 --> 0:13:29.560 That is so interesting, what's going on in the White 0:13:29.600 --> 0:13:32.160 House behind the scenes. We will get more heavily into 0:13:32.160 --> 0:13:38.559 this story later, but it is amazing, horrifying. A crypto investor, 0:13:38.760 --> 0:13:41.040 this is a guy with a ton of money, was 0:13:41.160 --> 0:13:44.720 charged in Manhattan over the weekend with kidnapping and torturing 0:13:44.800 --> 0:13:47.480 a man in a bid to access his bitcoin wallet. 0:13:48.000 --> 0:13:50.360 He was over the course of several weeks. 0:13:51.160 --> 0:13:54.880 He was held in a luxury townhouse where he was beaten, electrocuted, 0:13:54.880 --> 0:13:57.720 and forced to take drugs and dangled over a high 0:13:57.760 --> 0:14:00.600 stairway at one point, And why is. 0:14:00.559 --> 0:14:06.000 This any different than like it couldna happen in any 0:14:06.000 --> 0:14:08.400 other rich dude in like saying give me your money 0:14:08.480 --> 0:14:11.400 or I'm gonna pluck your eyes out or whatever is 0:14:12.400 --> 0:14:15.520 the crypto thing and make it more likely that that happens. 0:14:15.960 --> 0:14:20.680 Yes, one hundred percent, because it's so quickly accessible and. 0:14:20.600 --> 0:14:23.040 Then untraceable you transfer it. 0:14:23.120 --> 0:14:26.280 You've got those little digits and there's not a paper 0:14:26.320 --> 0:14:27.840 trail like a bank. 0:14:27.600 --> 0:14:30.240 So you wouldn't be getting a diamond or a painting 0:14:30.480 --> 0:14:34.000 or cash that you can obviously trace. 0:14:34.680 --> 0:14:38.680 Right or you know, I think, yeah, now that I 0:14:38.680 --> 0:14:41.080 think about it, because my wife generally handles this sort 0:14:41.080 --> 0:14:42.800 of thing. But I mean, if you broke into my 0:14:42.840 --> 0:14:44.440 house and held a gun to my head and said 0:14:44.480 --> 0:14:45.840 I want your entire net. 0:14:45.640 --> 0:14:48.720 Worth, I'd be like, it's gonna take at least two weeks. 0:14:49.240 --> 0:14:52.240 I got all sorts of codes to enter and clearances, 0:14:52.240 --> 0:14:53.520 then I got to call somebody. 0:14:53.560 --> 0:14:54.760 Then they're gonna email me in. 0:14:54.760 --> 0:14:56.920 The Bible if you know how to access it, good 0:14:56.960 --> 0:15:00.960 for you, Yeah, no kidding it out for me. But 0:15:01.040 --> 0:15:04.240 with Bitcoin, I typed in the numbers. You have all 0:15:04.480 --> 0:15:09.840 of my money, so anyway, it's extremely attractive and you're 0:15:09.840 --> 0:15:12.760 seeing more and more of that. As we're discussing last week. 0:15:12.880 --> 0:15:15.040 This headline will lead to a conversation later. We have 0:15:15.120 --> 0:15:19.000 not talked about this at length. It's about the television show, 0:15:19.040 --> 0:15:21.960 the Netflix show Adolescence, and the headline from the Hill 0:15:22.080 --> 0:15:26.760 is toxic online content is poisoning boys minds. Congress must respond, 0:15:27.000 --> 0:15:29.760 this show's getting a ton of attention. I gotta watch 0:15:29.760 --> 0:15:31.440 it as a parent of a couple of boys, and 0:15:31.440 --> 0:15:34.040 I'll tell you how people are reacting to it coming up. 0:15:34.080 --> 0:15:37.360 It's something yeah, okay, I'll be interesting to hear this 0:15:37.440 --> 0:15:41.880 because my first exposure to the show and the commentary 0:15:42.040 --> 0:15:46.240 on it was saying that a lot of the criticism 0:15:46.360 --> 0:15:49.480 was coming from the left in a way that I 0:15:49.640 --> 0:15:52.200 found not compelling. 0:15:52.360 --> 0:15:55.040 Gotcha, but I don't know, I haven't seen it. 0:15:55.680 --> 0:16:00.560 And then this, I've got to admit I've been confused, perplexed, 0:16:00.800 --> 0:16:03.560 as other folks have that Trump seems to be harder 0:16:03.600 --> 0:16:08.040 on our allies than our adversaries at times in terms 0:16:08.080 --> 0:16:12.160 of trade agreements. But I read a great account of well, 0:16:12.240 --> 0:16:14.360 let me hit you with the headline. Trump delayed his 0:16:14.480 --> 0:16:18.480 unexpected threat to impose a fifty percent tariff on the 0:16:18.520 --> 0:16:21.920 European Union, pushing this decision back by a month after 0:16:21.960 --> 0:16:25.440 announcing it Friday, and so the stock market went back 0:16:25.520 --> 0:16:27.320 up again. Blah blah blahs were not going to hammer 0:16:27.440 --> 0:16:30.520 Europe with tariffs. But I read an explanation of it. 0:16:30.520 --> 0:16:34.960 It is so frustrating dealing with the EU because and 0:16:35.080 --> 0:16:36.880 if you're old enough to remember this, this was the 0:16:36.880 --> 0:16:38.080 criticism from the start. 0:16:39.040 --> 0:16:42.000 It's kind of a unit, the EU. 0:16:42.160 --> 0:16:45.040 It's kind of one thing, but it's actually a bunch 0:16:45.080 --> 0:16:48.520 of different countries with a bunch of different priorities and languages, 0:16:48.560 --> 0:16:49.120 and some of. 0:16:49.000 --> 0:16:50.760 Them don't like each other very much. 0:16:50.880 --> 0:16:54.840 And so you're trying to negotiate quote unquote with the EU, 0:16:55.280 --> 0:16:58.280 but their negotiators always have to say, I gotta go 0:16:58.440 --> 0:17:01.720 back because Germany and Frans don't agree on this, so 0:17:02.080 --> 0:17:04.520 I'll get back to you. And negotiating with him is 0:17:04.600 --> 0:17:06.919 just it's incredibly frustrating. 0:17:07.040 --> 0:17:09.680 Another headline we have to get to. Not important, but 0:17:09.920 --> 0:17:13.680 very fun. If you have a marriage where your wife 0:17:13.760 --> 0:17:16.520 physically shoves you around, don't have it caught on video. 0:17:16.680 --> 0:17:19.640 Why was French President Macron shoved in the face by 0:17:19.680 --> 0:17:22.760 his wife before they got off on the plane yesterday. 0:17:23.040 --> 0:17:25.040 Love that story, and we'll get to that among other 0:17:25.080 --> 0:17:25.640 things on the. 0:17:25.560 --> 0:17:28.040 Way Armstrong and Getty. 0:17:29.440 --> 0:17:31.040 We do have a lot to catch up on after 0:17:31.080 --> 0:17:35.919 being off for four self indulgent days, including where we 0:17:35.960 --> 0:17:39.800 are on the Big Beautiful Bill, including on where we 0:17:39.840 --> 0:17:42.280 are in the Big Beautiful cover up, as that continues 0:17:42.280 --> 0:17:44.760 to be a story of hiding Joe Biden throughout his 0:17:44.840 --> 0:17:47.120 presidency and the Jake Tapper book and all that sort 0:17:47.119 --> 0:17:47.440 of stuff. 0:17:47.480 --> 0:17:48.560 There are some new wrinkles there. 0:17:48.880 --> 0:17:53.400 It's funny, mediocre minds think alike. I have been surprised 0:17:53.520 --> 0:18:00.639 and gratified at the continued energy around that story. People 0:18:00.680 --> 0:18:03.800 are not content to let it lie and forget about it, 0:18:03.840 --> 0:18:06.760 because I think the more you hear, the more you realize, 0:18:06.840 --> 0:18:09.760 Wait a minute, we have a serious sickness in our system, 0:18:09.880 --> 0:18:11.840 our media specifically anyway. 0:18:12.600 --> 0:18:17.560 So it's graduation season, and particularly around colleges, it's the 0:18:17.600 --> 0:18:22.359 time of the year where self important liberals get invited 0:18:22.359 --> 0:18:26.440 to major universities to give speeches, and then the media 0:18:26.640 --> 0:18:30.199 covers them like a news event because they're saying the 0:18:30.280 --> 0:18:32.800 sort of thing that most of the media agrees with. 0:18:33.000 --> 0:18:33.840 That's what happens. 0:18:33.840 --> 0:18:36.800 Well described there are you know, people who lean right 0:18:36.920 --> 0:18:39.440 that go to colleges that lean right. The few that are, 0:18:39.480 --> 0:18:41.720 but they never make get a new news coverage, so 0:18:41.760 --> 0:18:45.280 you don't hear about them, including the President for instance. 0:18:45.400 --> 0:18:48.879 But here Joe mentioned this last week. I've seen this 0:18:48.920 --> 0:18:54.080 starting to burble up and get more attention. Where was 0:18:54.160 --> 0:18:57.240 which university? Was he speaking at. 0:18:58.960 --> 0:19:01.879 Wake Forest Wake Force in South Carolina, Carolina? 0:19:02.000 --> 0:19:04.760 I thought Weak Force was South Carolina and not unless 0:19:04.760 --> 0:19:10.080 it's moved, Okay, it doesn't really matter. It's you know, 0:19:10.200 --> 0:19:14.119 it's it's your your, it's your major figure of the 0:19:14.200 --> 0:19:16.359 left giving a lefty speech. 0:19:16.400 --> 0:19:17.640 But he went over the top. 0:19:17.720 --> 0:19:21.600 And one of the reasons it's so remarkable is he's 0:19:21.640 --> 0:19:25.280 on one of the most important news programs in the world, 0:19:25.440 --> 0:19:29.800 Sixty Minutes, which allegedly is trying to be you know, 0:19:30.400 --> 0:19:35.960 a nonpartisan, hit it down the middle sort of coverage. 0:19:35.880 --> 0:19:38.760 Or at the very least fair, just be fair. And 0:19:38.800 --> 0:19:40.680 a guy with this point of view can't be doing that. 0:19:40.720 --> 0:19:43.240 This is Scott Pelley speaking to college graduates. 0:19:43.520 --> 0:19:51.480 Power can rewrite history with grotesque false narratives. They can 0:19:51.560 --> 0:19:59.000 make criminals heroes and heroes criminals. Power can change the 0:19:59.240 --> 0:20:05.480 death of n of the words we use to describe reality. 0:20:06.200 --> 0:20:13.280 Diversity is now described as illegal, equity is to be shunned, 0:20:14.200 --> 0:20:16.440
