They're 10 00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,760 Speaker 3: pulling back on fast food and credit cards are maxed out. 11 00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:51,280 Speaker 3: But McDonald's just bounced back. They are going to announce 12 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 3: an adult happy meal though, featuring either a quarter pound 13 00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:57,480 Speaker 3: or with cheese that's my go to, or a ten 14 00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 3: piece chicken McNuggets whatever the hell those are fries, a 15 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:04,399 Speaker 3: collectible souvenir, and the new They're Chicken adjacent and the 16 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:10,640 Speaker 3: new Mount McDonald's shake, which features a mystery flavor. The 17 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:14,040 Speaker 3: companies encouraged diners to figure out, Now, that's a funny hook. 18 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 3: See if you can figure out what this flavor is. 19 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:19,360 Speaker 3: We could say that about the hamburgers. I love the taste, 20 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 3: but it don't taste like a Hamburger. It's definitely not Patty's. 21 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 1: We've dropped on the floor and had to do something 22 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 1: with So don't guess that. Okay, it's not come within 23 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:31,479 Speaker 1: a thousand miles of a cow. 24 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:32,480 Speaker 3: That's where we'll start. 25 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,120 Speaker 1: I kid, of course, it's not a flavor that occurs 26 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:36,840 Speaker 1: in nature. 27 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:38,200 Speaker 2: We'll just give you that him. 28 00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:43,280 Speaker 3: We can, of course, because McDonald's has more lawyers than 29 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 3: than the Onions. A couple of things, A little bit 30 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 3: of breaking news here. So I had the news last 31 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 3: hour that whit Coough Trump's piece deal guy that he's 32 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 3: been sending around the world world. I was over talking 33 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 3: to Putin and the Kremlin announced good news, the meeting 34 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 3: was constructive and useful, and I said, no, it wasn't. No, 35 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,960 Speaker 3: it's not. And apparently Trump reacted the same way, because 36 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 3: he announced just a little bit ago there will be 37 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:20,120 Speaker 3: an additional twenty five percent tariff on India as punishment 38 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 3: for importing Russian oil, bringing the total to fifty percent. 39 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 3: To me, that is indicating that he talked to Witcoff 40 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 3: and Whitcoff said he ain't budget, he ain't doing it right. 41 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,640 Speaker 1: Sure, Yeah, So the India thing's really interesting. I won't 42 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 1: go off on it. But they're an enormous and growing economy, 43 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,800 Speaker 1: you know, an increasingly important presence in the world, and 44 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:44,679 Speaker 1: they're not happy about getting strong armed. And there's some 45 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 1: thought that Trump will not alienate him because they're too 46 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 1: big a prize coming over to our side of the 47 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:52,240 Speaker 1: ledger and not China's. 48 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:53,800 Speaker 2: So we'll see how this all settles. 49 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 3: Well, the problem is, I can't come up with an 50 00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 3: example of sanctions doing much. They get through. It's amazing 51 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 3: to me that the news media reports sanctions as if 52 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,800 Speaker 3: because we all know the history of sanctions is it 53 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 3: always works. It stopped a ran we didn't have to 54 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,359 Speaker 3: bomb them. It stopped North Korea, it stopped Russia before 55 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 3: they invaded. It stopped I mean, you could make a 56 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 3: list of milli it stopped I raq you Coulchina. You 57 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:26,240 Speaker 3: could make an endless list of times sanctions have not accomplished. 58 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 3: But why does the media always report it like it's 59 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 3: a thing? When is it been a thing? I've not 60 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 3: seen it ever really work. 61 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 2: Well, that's a thing. It's just not much of a thing. 62 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 3: Part of the reason is if a country's really committed, 63 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 3: there will they'll know weather the storm along with the 64 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 3: fact that everybody cheats, including even our own allies cheating. 65 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 1: In December, when the son of the head of the 66 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 1: UN was getting rich on doing unsanctioned business with a rock, 67 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 1: was it or around or both of them? 68 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 3: I mean the UN itself was laughing at it. So 69 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 3: my guess would be putin this, Yeah, go ahead with 70 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 3: their sanctions or whatever. We'll get around them like we 71 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 3: have been doing for three years, or you'll back off 72 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 3: at some point or whatever. Oh no, you have seized yacht. 73 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 3: I have bought three more today. So the war between 74 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,040 Speaker 3: Russian and Ukraine. Many people have commented on this. It 75 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,720 Speaker 3: is moved us into a new modern era of warfare 76 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,279 Speaker 3: that is different from anything that's occurred in the past, 77 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,799 Speaker 3: and there'll be no going back. I mean, how effective 78 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 3: tanks are going to be in the future is up 79 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:31,159 Speaker 3: in the air. Maybe tanks will cease to be a 80 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 3: thing after one hundred years of being one of the 81 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:36,600 Speaker 3: biggest things on the planet because of drones and all 82 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 3: that sort of stuff. You know that. Here was an 83 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 3: interview with a soldier in Ukraine on whether the United 84 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 3: States is ready for modern warfare. You're at the ground 85 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,800 Speaker 3: level of this new innovative warfare. 86 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:53,159 Speaker 4: Yeah, you're saying the United States is not prepared for 87 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 4: the new era of warfare. 88 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:58,279 Speaker 3: No, that's already here. Yeah, exactly, No, it's not prepared. 89 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:04,360 Speaker 1: Doesn't see that it can be a problem. 90 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 3: And former Ambassador John Herbst was speaking to that on 91 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 3: News Nation. 92 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 4: And I think that Soldier is absolutely right that the 93 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 4: cutting edge of war is being displayed right now in Ukraine. 94 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 4: And Ukrainians have been master innovators with drones and electronic warfare. 95 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:25,359 Speaker 4: And we know that our armed services recognize this, and 96 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,280 Speaker 4: that's why they are very interested in a drone deal 97 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 4: US in Ukraine for joint production so we can get 98 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 4: some of this cutting edge technology. But this is very 99 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 4: important for American security and making sure Putin does not 100 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,920 Speaker 4: conquer Ukraine is critical for American security. 101 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 3: I hope we make that deal, and I hope we 102 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 3: get the latest technology and spend a lot of time 103 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,360 Speaker 3: thinking about it so we don't find ourselves with our 104 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:49,839 Speaker 3: pants down in the next war. 105 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 1: And in return crank out a bunch of them for 106 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 1: Ukraine to use. This is like the basis of a 107 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:56,039 Speaker 1: pretty good deal. 108 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,480 Speaker 3: This is the anniversary of dropping the atomic bomb on Japan, 109 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:04,360 Speaker 3: which they didn't believe we actually had because it was 110 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 3: the latest greatest technology at the time, and reading a 111 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 3: couple of different books over the last few months about 112 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:13,040 Speaker 3: the last few months of the Pacific War, there's all 113 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 3: kinds of things that we had developed and invented between 114 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:22,600 Speaker 3: Pearl Harbor and the end, like there's hardly anything like radar. 115 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:26,480 Speaker 3: I mean, there was so many different things that we 116 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 3: had the edge on over Japan that allowed us to 117 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,480 Speaker 3: just at the end we were just able to trounce 118 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 3: them and the technicolo the technological advantage is huge, and 119 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,479 Speaker 3: I just I hope we haven't gotten fat and soft 120 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 3: when we find out we're way behind the Chinese or 121 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 3: the Russians or whoever, when the s hits the fan. 122 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:54,159 Speaker 1: I would like to think that our creativity, capability, energy 123 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 1: as a people is just kind of on vacation and 124 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 1: that and this might be too late. Winston Churchill, I 125 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,360 Speaker 1: had George Washington talking to us from beyond the grave. 126 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 1: Now it's Winston Churchill's time. Winston would probably say, all right, yeah, 127 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 1: you'd be way smarter off waking up now, but you 128 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 1: won't until the Pooh actually hits the fan. 129 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 2: But I'd like to think we could reawaken. 130 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 1: But yeah, I've been reading fairmount about our utter horrific 131 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 1: lap lack of shipbuilding and ship repair capability right now. 132 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 1: The statistics for how long it takes a Navy ship 133 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 1: to get back on the water and operating at full 134 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,680 Speaker 1: steam is just crazy. And we've got to farm a 135 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:37,240 Speaker 1: lot of it out. We have no institutional knowledge. We 136 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 1: don't have big ship building crews in New England like 137 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 1: we used to. We've got to ask the South Koreans 138 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 1: to do it for us or whatever. In a lot 139 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 1: of cases, you know, if things got ugly with China 140 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 1: and if it was you know, costly to the Navy, 141 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 1: I think we would find ourselves in awful straits because 142 00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 1: they're building ships like lunatics. 143 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 3: One of the problems with the lessons of World War 144 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 3: One and World War II is kind of putting in 145 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 3: our minds or into the culture the idea that the 146 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 3: good guys ultimately always win. The good guys don't always win. Historically, 147 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,239 Speaker 3: lots of times the good guys lose and the awful, 148 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 3: racist or rapey or whatever they are group wins. 149 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, or even by the time the good guys do win, 150 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 1: when they win, millions of lives have been lost. Yeah, 151 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 1: all sorts of horror and hunger and the rest of it. 152 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 2: Yeah. 153 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, it reminds me. It's one of those things though, 154 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:42,960 Speaker 1: that human nature never changes. We as conservatives, believe that 155 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 1: fervently and human nature is a fat, happy society will 156 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 1: be fat and happy until somebody makes it very, very unhappy, 157 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:58,679 Speaker 1: and then we'll remember, Oh that's right, exercise, toughness, coherence, unity, 158 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:02,080 Speaker 1: I remember those things if we do remember them. 159 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:06,960 Speaker 3: So we got a serious problem in the WNBA. As 160 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 3: fans have decided it's funny. I guess I'm using my 161 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,440 Speaker 3: finger quotes. I don't know if they find it amusing 162 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 3: or edgy, but it has become a thing of people 163 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 3: throwing sex toys onto the court at WEDNBA games, and 164 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:26,560 Speaker 3: I think it's a tragedy. I'm not laughed at it 165 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 3: at all. 166 00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:30,959 Speaker 1: It's really sullying the sanctity, the purity if you will, 167 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:32,080 Speaker 1: love the WNBA. 168 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 3: I saw one of the devices that got thrown out 169 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:36,480 Speaker 3: of the court the other day. Somebody sent a picture 170 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 3: of it to me on my phone. My phone alerted 171 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 3: me this is adult content.

For a couple of different reasons. It was 224 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:32,680 Speaker 3: way over there, and he thought, there's no way it 225 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,680 Speaker 3: gets clear over here.

And he's so thankful that he did, 235 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:06,200 Speaker 3: because the fire quickly overwhelmed everything and burnt everything to 236 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 3: the ground. He has shown me pictures of stuff that 237 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:12,079 Speaker 3: he found in the In the he showed me he 238 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:13,720 Speaker 3: had a cyber truck, like I have a cyber truck, 239 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:15,560 Speaker 3: and he had a cyber truck.

I was reminded of that when I saw 342 00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:25,760 Speaker 1: a number of different reports over the incredible unrest in 343 00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:26,800 Speaker 1: Great Britain. 344 00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:28,480 Speaker 3: Right now. 345 00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:31,360 Speaker 1: Nobody in the mainstream media is talking about this, and 346 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:36,000 Speaker 1: hardly anybody's writing about it because they are intensely uncomfortable 347 00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:40,160 Speaker 1: with the themes. We are not intensely uncomfortable with the themes, 348 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:41,240 Speaker 1: as you'll soon find out. 349 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:43,679 Speaker 2: So a couple of things just very quickly. 350 00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:47,399 Speaker 1: This was a story in the Telegraph UK Sharia court 351 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:52,240 Speaker 1: job advertisement deleted from government website. Manchester in the North 352 00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:56,439 Speaker 1: of England was looking for a Sharia law administrator to 353 00:18:56,760 --> 00:19:01,320 Speaker 1: liaison with the Sharia courts that thes in that area 354 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:02,240 Speaker 1: are running. 355 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:05,880 Speaker 3: Now, uh, okay, you're already into crazyville. 356 00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:06,760 Speaker 2: Yeah. But when. 357 00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:10,440 Speaker 1: That came to the attention of people in the media 358 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:13,680 Speaker 1: and all, they quietly took it down. Sharia courts have 359 00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:15,920 Speaker 1: existed in the UK since the early nineteen eighties. In 360 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:20,520 Speaker 1: issue Islam Inspired rulings on family life and marriage matters anyway, 361 00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:27,320 Speaker 1: really good piece by Dominic Green in the Free Press. 362 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:31,280 Speaker 1: Are these mothers starting a revolt in England? After a 363 00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:34,359 Speaker 1: male migrant sexually assaulted a fourteen year old local girl 364 00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:37,160 Speaker 1: in Epping in England, the mothers of the town took 365 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:40,880 Speaker 1: to the streets. Their anger is spreading like wildfire across 366 00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:45,199 Speaker 1: the country. Did you know there were large demonstrations and 367 00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:50,520 Speaker 1: I think it was twenty two different English cities last weekend. No, 368 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,240 Speaker 1: And they go into the background of how the confrontation 369 00:19:55,400 --> 00:20:00,680 Speaker 1: because the local socialist the government is opening my centers 370 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:04,640 Speaker 1: and they got the rape gangs and the grooming gangs 371 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,359 Speaker 1: off in Pakistani men, et cetera that have become so 372 00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:11,440 Speaker 1: controversial in Britain, and the government was actively covering up. 373 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:14,760 Speaker 1: But there was a lot of violence against some of 374 00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:19,960 Speaker 1: the demonstrators, by counterprotesters and by cops, and they make 375 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,080 Speaker 1: the point in the free press this writer does, who's 376 00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:25,520 Speaker 1: a brit that if if the guy who is run 377 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:28,480 Speaker 1: over by a police van, for instance, wasn't white and 378 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,280 Speaker 1: working class, it would have led all the news in 379 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:34,959 Speaker 1: the country all day long, all week long. But it 380 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:39,600 Speaker 1: really didn't get that much coverage. So yeah, you got 381 00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:43,200 Speaker 1: more than twenty towns in cities and cities in England 382 00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:49,400 Speaker 1: and Scotland. It was started by a bunch of moms. 383 00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:51,560 Speaker 1: Now it's become much more male. 384 00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:54,480 Speaker 3: Well, I'll tell you my experience of trying to look 385 00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:56,879 Speaker 3: into stories like this. If I hear somebody talking about 386 00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:58,560 Speaker 3: them and then you try to google it or try 387 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:00,639 Speaker 3: to find it, it's really hard to find information on 388 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:01,159 Speaker 3: this stuff. 389 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:02,640 Speaker 2: Yeah. 390 00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:05,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, So anyway, he writes about this a lot that 391 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:09,200 Speaker 1: he gets to his main point. The country feels on edge, 392 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:12,040 Speaker 1: and not just because of the cost of living. Frustration 393 00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:15,160 Speaker 1: is growing about a two tier justice system that ignores 394 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:19,520 Speaker 1: crime but prosecutes the law abiding for speaking about crime, 395 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:23,879 Speaker 1: Mass immigration, and a loss of social cohesion that's accelerated 396 00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:26,600 Speaker 1: a collapse in public trust in the and in the 397 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 1: police and in the government. Serious stuff. And then I 398 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:35,840 Speaker 1: came across this in the Wall Street Journal and this 399 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:43,400 Speaker 1: was written by Dominic Green, and he sets it up, 400 00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:44,679 Speaker 1: but we've more or. 401 00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:45,439 Speaker 2: Less done that. 402 00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:52,119 Speaker 1: And and interestingly he talks about government power and howment 403 00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:55,639 Speaker 1: government rotates between parties that agree on the nature of 404 00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:59,600 Speaker 1: the regime, hence terms such as unit party, the blob, 405 00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 1: and the swamp. Then he gets a little bit into 406 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:06,960 Speaker 1: populism that tries to fight against that when labor and 407 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:07,480 Speaker 1: now he's. 408 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:08,359 Speaker 2: Talking about Great Britain. 409 00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:10,000 Speaker 1: This is a pretty good summary of what's going on 410 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:13,800 Speaker 1: when Labor suppresses free speech and bad news. And I 411 00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 1: know you've been listening and thinking about that too, Jack, 412 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:19,520 Speaker 1: So in just a second we'll get to that when Labor, 413 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:23,119 Speaker 1: the Labor Party suppresses free speech and bad news, panders 414 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:27,280 Speaker 1: to Islamists and environmentalists, and runs a two tier justice system. 415 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:31,000 Speaker 1: It exploits the legislative legacy of the Conservative's fourteen year 416 00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:33,160 Speaker 1: effort to keep the British regime afloat. 417 00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:35,880 Speaker 2: The Conservatives initiated. 418 00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:39,600 Speaker 1: Speech controls such as public spaces protection orders, under which 419 00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:43,920 Speaker 1: Christians have been arrested for silent prayer outside abortion clinics 420 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:47,919 Speaker 1: and non crime hate incidents in which Britain's who speak 421 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:54,200 Speaker 1: out receive home visits from police for posting something online 422 00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:58,240 Speaker 1: that the powers that be don't like. Both parties minimize 423 00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:01,600 Speaker 1: the systematic rape and track picking of white British girls 424 00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:06,120 Speaker 1: by gangs of mostly Pakistani Muslim origin, and both explored 425 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:11,240 Speaker 1: defining Islamophobia in law. The Conservatives also passed the Online 426 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:14,800 Speaker 1: Safety Act. It aims to protect children from pornography and 427 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:18,120 Speaker 1: pro suicide websites. But listen to this, It also includes 428 00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:22,480 Speaker 1: a new false communication offense. Social media users can be 429 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:27,680 Speaker 1: prosecuted for sending messages intended to quote cause non trivial 430 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:31,120 Speaker 1: psychological or physical harm to a likely audience. 431 00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:32,840 Speaker 3: Which of course is in the eye of the beholder. 432 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:35,679 Speaker 2: So starting in late July. 433 00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:39,840 Speaker 3: It should be speech is not violence. I don't care 434 00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:42,560 Speaker 3: what some people say, well, right, But then when you 435 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:44,480 Speaker 3: write it the way it was written there, not only 436 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:47,640 Speaker 3: is speech violence, but it's like really wide open to. 437 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:49,840 Speaker 2: Interpretation for instance. 438 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:52,679 Speaker 1: So when this part of the Act went into effect 439 00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:56,120 Speaker 1: late last month, Twitter users in Britain were blocked from 440 00:23:56,200 --> 00:24:01,679 Speaker 1: viewing parliamentary speeches about grooming gangs HM. They were blocked 441 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:05,680 Speaker 1: from sharing footage of police arresting anti immigration protesters. 442 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:11,679 Speaker 3: I can't believe that our mother country where all of 443 00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:17,240 Speaker 3: this started, you're not allowed to watch certain arguments your 444 00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:18,320 Speaker 3: government is happening. 445 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:22,760 Speaker 1: That's right, because they might be offensive to people. The 446 00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:26,080 Speaker 1: government is also creating a police unit to monitor groups 447 00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:29,760 Speaker 1: organizing protests against two issues on which the regime is 448 00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 1: vulnerable mass immigration in the asylum crisis. So they're developing 449 00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:41,680 Speaker 1: a department of the cops to monitor, surveil, harass anybody 450 00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:49,399 Speaker 1: who even tweets about an anti grooming gang march or 451 00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:50,080 Speaker 1: that sort of thing. 452 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:55,880 Speaker 3: Well as so, in two thousand and three, they passed 453 00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:00,919 Speaker 3: a law making it illegal to send electric messages that 454 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:06,680 Speaker 3: are grossly offensive, in decent, obscene, or menacing. Those are 455 00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:11,639 Speaker 3: all ores. You could be any of those indecent, offensive, menacing, obscene, 456 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:15,720 Speaker 3: I mean in the eye to beholder obviously well, and 457 00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:18,920 Speaker 3: anybody's gone through the whole woke nightmare knows that they 458 00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:22,440 Speaker 3: pretend to be offended as a weapon. And then they 459 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:25,240 Speaker 3: added in twenty twenty three to that two thousand and 460 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:32,040 Speaker 3: three law new offenses for sending threatening although sometimes they 461 00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:39,159 Speaker 3: just interpret criticizing as inherently threatening or false communications with 462 00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:42,159 Speaker 3: the intent to cause harm. You know, and we know 463 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:46,439 Speaker 3: in the United States how things can be deemed false 464 00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:50,280 Speaker 3: accusations like I don't think masks work, you know, that 465 00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:53,639 Speaker 3: sort of thing, but you do it around maybe racial stuff. 466 00:25:57,560 --> 00:25:59,640 Speaker 3: And people have been getting thrown in jail for tweets 467 00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:03,840 Speaker 3: or or Facebook postings and that sort of stuff in 468 00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:06,000 Speaker 3: Great Britain, or as Joe said, you get a visit 469 00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:10,240 Speaker 3: from people at your house, which has of course a 470 00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:11,679 Speaker 3: a quieting effect on people. 471 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:16,000 Speaker 1: Of course, the chief of the Metropolitan Police in London, 472 00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:18,399 Speaker 1: i think, threatened to use the full force of the 473 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:23,440 Speaker 1: law to come after non British Internet users who, for instance, 474 00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:27,400 Speaker 1: post things that they find objectionable, like on Rumble or 475 00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:31,480 Speaker 1: on Reddit. They made threats against Reddit because Reddit was 476 00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:36,480 Speaker 1: running comments about the rape gangs or the migrant crisis. 477 00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,560 Speaker 1: And this guy, mister Green, actually he ends up with 478 00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:46,080 Speaker 1: as in Nikolai Chiesheshkw's Romania in nineteen eighty nine, Britain's 479 00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:49,080 Speaker 1: people have turned against the regime. The regime is turning 480 00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:52,679 Speaker 1: against the people. It can't silence them all. Mister Starmer 481 00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:54,960 Speaker 1: and his friends will go down with the ship. Still 482 00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:57,840 Speaker 1: unclear what kind of regime can refloat Britain and restore 483 00:26:57,840 --> 00:26:58,920 Speaker 1: its traditional freedoms. 484 00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:00,959 Speaker 2: Still is coming. 485 00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:05,200 Speaker 1: This guy's a Wall Street Journal contributor and a fellow 486 00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:07,080 Speaker 1: of the Royal Historical Society. 487 00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:13,679 Speaker 3: So the breakdown of those speech laws or communication laws 488 00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:17,600 Speaker 3: that they passed. These laws focus on online communications intended 489 00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:22,239 Speaker 3: to cause harm or distress distress. Wow, so you've got 490 00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:28,240 Speaker 3: a law against communications that cause distress. Now that could 491 00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:30,960 Speaker 3: be interpreted as anything. And again, I don't think this 492 00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:36,320 Speaker 3: point can be emphasized enough. Pretended distress or working yourself 493 00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:40,480 Speaker 3: up into actually being distressed is like the number one 494 00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:45,200 Speaker 3: weapon of the neo Marxist woke left. Don't you remember 495 00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:47,639 Speaker 3: it doesn't matter how you intended it, it's how I 496 00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:51,439 Speaker 3: received it that makes it racist. It's a microaggression that 497 00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:54,320 Speaker 3: is their number one weapon. And then they've got everybody 498 00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:57,120 Speaker 3: so terrified of saying the wrong thing. They take over 499 00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:59,320 Speaker 3: the institution, they move their own people in. It is 500 00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:03,119 Speaker 3: their most potent weapon, and the British freaking government is 501 00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:06,200 Speaker 3: playing directly into their hands. Yeah, we're's not as far 502 00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:08,040 Speaker 3: down the road as Great Britain. But I remember when 503 00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:09,719 Speaker 3: the New York Times declared, Now, I don't know if 504 00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:12,840 Speaker 3: they still would believe this. This was back during that 505 00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:16,359 Speaker 3: weird twenty to twenty three period here in this country. 506 00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:18,640 Speaker 3: But they in New York Times they said intent does 507 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:22,080 Speaker 3: not matter, right, that which is insane. 508 00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:24,200 Speaker 2: Right. And there are. 509 00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:28,439 Speaker 1: People in prison in Britain right now for a single tweet, 510 00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:31,320 Speaker 1: for instance, having violated these laws. 511 00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:36,680 Speaker 3: Well, man, if it is against the law to send 512 00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:42,680 Speaker 3: an online communication that causes distress, yeah, that'd be tough 513 00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:45,680 Speaker 3: sight of the law. 514 00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:52,800 Speaker 1: The fight has been joined though, which is good, But 515 00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:55,880 Speaker 1: this is terrible. Listen, listen to this, would you within 516 00:28:56,080 --> 00:29:00,680 Speaker 1: you know that causing nontrivial psychological or physicalla and blah 517 00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:04,400 Speaker 1: blah blah. Within hours, British ex users were prevented from 518 00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:09,320 Speaker 1: watching Conservative MP Katie Lamb talking in Parliament about the 519 00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:12,400 Speaker 1: grooming gangs and seeing footage of the police arresting anti 520 00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:17,880 Speaker 1: immigration protesters in Leeds. Lamb posted online she's a uh. 521 00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:20,040 Speaker 2: An MP. 522 00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:24,360 Speaker 1: The British state won't protect children from mass gang rape, 523 00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:30,080 Speaker 1: but it will protect adults from hearing about it. You know, 524 00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:32,520 Speaker 1: I'm really glad I'm going to be in the UK 525 00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:36,360 Speaker 1: in a couple of weeks. I'm going to talk to 526 00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:39,720 Speaker 1: everybody i can about these laws get a bunch of 527 00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:43,560 Speaker 1: opinions I have. Don't let jitdy if you're listening, turn 528 00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:49,080 Speaker 1: it off, my wife, I have a serious, serious temptation 529 00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:54,280 Speaker 1: to deliberately and loudly violate these laws just to see 530 00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:58,280 Speaker 1: what happens. I don't care about the show, Jack, I 531 00:29:58,360 --> 00:29:59,960 Speaker 1: care about free speech. 532 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:01,400 Speaker 3: And it'd be awesome for the show and. 533 00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:03,280 Speaker 2: The show the show would be good too. That'd be great. 534 00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:06,600 Speaker 3: No, that would be great. To draw attention to it. 535 00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:11,280 Speaker 3: It's horrifying. It is absolutely horrifying, because when free speech goes, 536 00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:12,560 Speaker 3: everything goes after that. 537 00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:16,640 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we may be led silent and dumb to 538 00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:20,360 Speaker 1: the slaughter. As George Washington put it, Wow, that is wild, 539 00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:27,000 Speaker 1: Great Britain of all places. And the utter lack of 540 00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:31,000 Speaker 1: interest in covering this by our own horrifying media. 541 00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:32,400 Speaker 2: Yeap, dig it up. 542 00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:35,720 Speaker 3: Try to find these stories online. It's hard. I asked 543 00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:38,040 Speaker 3: chat GPT. I've done this a couple of times in 544 00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:40,400 Speaker 3: recent weeks, because I was listening to a podcast about 545 00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:42,040 Speaker 3: a couple of the cases where people got thrown in 546 00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:45,200 Speaker 3: jail for tweets, and they only gave me examples on 547 00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:48,440 Speaker 3: chat GPT of stuff that's pretty defensible, as throwing people 548 00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:51,400 Speaker 3: in jail, like actually inciting violence or something. They didn't 549 00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:54,640 Speaker 3: have any of the cases that were squishy, and that 550 00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:55,640 Speaker 3: was in an accident. 551 00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:59,200 Speaker 1: And it's worth mentioning that Canada is going in this direction, 552 00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:02,920 Speaker 1: as is Australia to some extent, and the fact that 553 00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:04,760 Speaker 1: we're not covering this. I mean, it's like the house 554 00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:09,240 Speaker 1: next door burning down and us saying, oh, it doesn't matter, 555 00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:10,120 Speaker 1: it's the house next door. 556 00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:15,840 Speaker 3: Yeah. A guy set a new record for speed on 557 00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:18,240 Speaker 3: the Autobahn in Berlin. I've never driven on the auto 558 00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:22,000 Speaker 3: Bahn in Berlin, and pretty exciting. This guy set a 559 00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:24,480 Speaker 3: new record. Here's going pretty darn fast. And a bunch 560 00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:28,400 Speaker 3: of other stuff on the waist here Armstrong, Hey Eddie. 561 00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:32,440 Speaker 5: Early this morning there was a somber ceremony not far 562 00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:33,760 Speaker 5: from where we are here in. 563 00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:35,440 Speaker 3: The Peace Park. 564 00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:38,640 Speaker 5: But I can tell you now it has gone evening. 565 00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:42,320 Speaker 5: There are thousands of people that have lined this river. 566 00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:48,240 Speaker 5: They are here to see the Atomic Bomb Dome, which 567 00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:52,640 Speaker 5: stands here as it did after his city was attacked. 568 00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:56,640 Speaker 3: Eighty year anniversary today of US drop and the first 569 00:31:56,640 --> 00:32:03,440 Speaker 3: atomic bomb on Japan, which some Americans believe is a 570 00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:06,120 Speaker 3: blotch on our history and an awful thing that we did, 571 00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:08,600 Speaker 3: and the rest of us with a brain realized it 572 00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:11,520 Speaker 3: was the quickest, best way for us to end the war, 573 00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:17,920 Speaker 3: and to not do it would have been malpractice and. 574 00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:21,680 Speaker 1: A war that was horrifically more costly than most Americans realize. 575 00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:22,600 Speaker 2: Yeah. 576 00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:25,320 Speaker 3: Richard Frank, writing in the National Review today, he wrote 577 00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:27,920 Speaker 3: the book Downfall, which I've been reading for quite some time. 578 00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:32,120 Speaker 3: Downfall was the name of the UH. You know, they 579 00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:35,280 Speaker 3: give names to various operations and plans. Downfall was our 580 00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:37,600 Speaker 3: plan for ending it there in Japan, and it was 581 00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:40,880 Speaker 3: going to originally include an invasion of Japan, which we 582 00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:45,320 Speaker 3: decided against because it would have cost hundreds of thousands 583 00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:52,760 Speaker 3: of US lives and probably killed eventually millions of Japanese 584 00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:56,920 Speaker 3: and might not even have been successful. We decided against that. 585 00:32:57,200 --> 00:32:59,200 Speaker 3: Then we were going to starve them out, but instead, 586 00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:01,840 Speaker 3: because the bomb was work, decided to drop the bomb anyway. 587 00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:05,040 Speaker 3: Frank makes the point in his book and in The 588 00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:08,520 Speaker 3: National Review today that the Asia Pacific War killed twenty 589 00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:13,040 Speaker 3: five million human beings. Just the Asia Pacific portion of 590 00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:16,760 Speaker 3: the war that Japan started against all these different countries 591 00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:23,800 Speaker 3: killed tons of Chinese. They were killing people by the thousands. 592 00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:30,360 Speaker 3: On the day we dropped the bomb, twenty five percent 593 00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:33,760 Speaker 3: of the dead Chinese were children. For instance. If you're 594 00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:36,560 Speaker 3: listening to any media outlets today talk about how awful 595 00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:39,680 Speaker 3: it was that Japanese civilians died in that attack when 596 00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:42,760 Speaker 3: we dropped the bomb, It is awful, but Japan was 597 00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:44,560 Speaker 3: killing people at a much greater rate. 598 00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:50,560 Speaker 1: And we're nineteen million dead civilians and Japan was responsible 599 00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:51,080 Speaker 1: for most. 600 00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:53,440 Speaker 3: Of those, and we're planning to continue it. By the 601 00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:57,600 Speaker 3: numbers across China and all other areas subjucated in Japan's empire, 602 00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:00,800 Speaker 3: which they did have an empire they were controlling or 603 00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:06,000 Speaker 3: at war with nearly half the world's population at the time. 604 00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:11,799 Speaker 3: All the areas across Japan's empire, from December forty one 605 00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:14,200 Speaker 3: to August nineteen forty five, about a quarter of a 606 00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:20,800 Speaker 3: million non Japanese civilians died every month for forty five months. 607 00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:25,000 Speaker 3: Think about that. A quarter of a million non Japanese 608 00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:28,839 Speaker 3: civilians died every month for forty five months, or the 609 00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:32,200 Speaker 3: equivalent and population of more than forty five Hiroshimas and 610 00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:35,719 Speaker 3: Nagasaki's at the hands of the Japanese military. And that 611 00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:39,120 Speaker 3: was going to continue until we defeated. 612 00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:44,200 Speaker 1: Them forty five times as many as were killed by 613 00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:49,440 Speaker 1: the bombs, and we, the United States of America, are 614 00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:53,120 Speaker 1: the bad guys for dropping those bombs to end that slaughter. 615 00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:54,520 Speaker 3: That's what so. 616 00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:57,400 Speaker 2: Many people have been taught in recent decades. 617 00:34:57,520 --> 00:35:00,200 Speaker 3: In Vietnam alone, between April and August of forty five, 618 00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:02,239 Speaker 3: so this past April to the day, if you're talking 619 00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:06,120 Speaker 3: about it, a further million Vietnamese where about two hundred 620 00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:09,080 Speaker 3: thousand each month were starving to death at the hands 621 00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:11,920 Speaker 3: of the Japanese. That ended when we dropped the bomb. 622 00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:17,960 Speaker 3: Credible misreading of history for anybody who doesn't understand that, 623 00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:20,400 Speaker 3: and talk to the kids if you miss a segment 624 00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:22,560 Speaker 3: or now, or get the podcast Armstrong and Getty on 625 00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:23,440 Speaker 3: demand 626 00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:26,440 Speaker 2: Armstrong and Getty
