1
00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

2
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:10,280
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.

3
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:12,520
Speaker 2: Armstrong and Gatty and now he.

4
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:25,159
Speaker 3: Armstrong and Yetty. We are going to talk war with

5
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 3: Iran and our military analyst Mike Lyons looking forward to

6
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:31,160
Speaker 3: a huge story. But we have breaking news on something

7
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:33,479
Speaker 3: also huge. This is big.

8
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,519
Speaker 2: If we had a herd of donkeys, we would have

9
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:40,480
Speaker 2: them braying right now. The Supreme Court struck down most

10
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 2: of President Trump's are sweeping tariffs, a ruling that deals

11
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 2: a major blow to his signature economic policy, stinging political setback,

12
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:51,519
Speaker 2: and on leaching. Lord knows what logistical nightmare.

13
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 3: Supreme Court rules Trump's emergency tariffs are illegal. This is

14
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:07,679
Speaker 3: breaking news. So now I can't even imagine. Oh boy, AnyWho.

15
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 2: Welcome to the spicy times.

16
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:15,680
Speaker 3: Trump was asked yesterday about ongoing negotiations with Iran, as

17
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 3: we've got the biggest military build up there since the

18
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:19,839
Speaker 3: Gulf War, and he said, this.

19
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 4: Now is the time for Iran to join us on

20
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:26,320
Speaker 4: a path that will complete what we're doing.

21
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 3: And if they join us, that'll be great.

22
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 4: If they don't join us, that'll be great too.

23
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:32,559
Speaker 3: But it'll be a very different path.

24
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:37,040
Speaker 4: They cannot continue to threaten the stability of the entire region,

25
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 4: and they must make a deal or if that doesn't happen,

26
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 4: I maybe can understand if it doesn't happen, it doesn't happen, but.

27
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 2: Bad things will happen if it doesn't.

28
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 3: The theocracy of Iran has killed more US soldiers than

29
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:03,639
Speaker 3: any other country in the last half a century. Number

30
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 3: one global exporter of terror. We're supposed to be engaged

31
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 3: in a war on terror, if I remember correctly, number

32
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 3: one exporter of state sponsored terror in the world. Trying

33
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 3: to get a nuclear weapon, which almost everybody thinks would

34
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 3: be a disaster for the planet. And yeah, now seems

35
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 3: like a good time.

36
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 2: And finally, the strange lack of discussion of all of

37
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 2: these things in the media and the American people in general.

38
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 2: To discuss all of that and more, my clients, military

39
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 2: analyst joins us, Mike, greetings, how are you?

40
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 5: Thank you money guys, great for having me and left

41
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 5: out the greatest foreign policy failure of the United States

42
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 5: in a post World War two era as Aarana has

43
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 5: impacted so many lives since you know, since the revolution

44
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,399
Speaker 5: took place in seventy eight, seventy nine, and it's impacted

45
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,359
Speaker 5: my life. And I could go on and on, but

46
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 5: it looks like the time is now.

47
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 2: I was just going to say, I'm fond of saying,

48
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 2: Mike that there are some problems that can't be solved,

49
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 2: they can only be managed. But this does appear to

50
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 2: be a moment where maybe the Iran problem could be

51
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 2: quote unquote solved. A lot of risk there too as well.

52
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 5: No question, and you know what the military targets are

53
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 5: are remained to be seen, likely going after the nuclear capability.

54
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 5: The first strike we took a few months ago definitely

55
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 5: set them back, but it didn't actually take out all

56
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 5: of their capability. You've got three stages of creating a

57
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 5: nuclear weapon. You have you know, mining uranium ore, and

58
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 5: the second phase is that in enrichment. We took out

59
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 5: most of the enrichment facility. And then that third phase

60
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 5: is weaponizing. They have ballistic missile systems, so they're all

61
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 5: part of their process and that system there for us

62
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 5: to actually make sure it goes away, we have to

63
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 5: take out all capability in all three. Now, you won't

64
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 5: take out the drain brain. Obviously, they're going to have

65
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 5: the intellect to do this, but take away our capability

66
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 5: of trying to create a nuclear weapons the mission right now, well.

67
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 3: That's maybe the first stop for our missiles. But all

68
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 3: the reporting is this is going to be a sustained

69
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 3: campaign for weeks and look a lot more like a

70
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 3: war than a strike, which we haven't seen for quite

71
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 3: a while. Are you concerned about where this could go

72
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 3: and how they could retaliate?

73
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 5: Well, I think they have one shot. I think they

74
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 5: have capability to go after Israel, maybe some US bases

75
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 5: in the region that we've hardened down now over the

76
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 5: past few weeks, let's say one thousand to two thousand

77
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,719
Speaker 5: ballistic missiles that they could fire. Then eventually they're just

78
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 5: they're going to run out. They have run out. Israel

79
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 5: has done a tremendous job over the past six months

80
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 5: again treading their capability. So we've going to be concerned

81
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 5: about that and we'll take some losses, Commanders take losses.

82
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 5: I'm sure Israel is likely at a full war state

83
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 5: right now as they prepare for what could be an

84
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 5: onslaught of ballistic missiles coming in their direction. But the

85
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 5: upside for US is we don't have the army there,

86
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 5: so we're not invading anytime soon. There's no troops going

87
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 5: on the ground there. This is going to literally be

88
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 5: an air war if it goes in that direction. And

89
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 5: today you heard the President talk about Diego Garcia and

90
00:04:56,200 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 5: Raf Fairford. Those are strategic be to strike you know,

91
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:05,600
Speaker 5: stealth bombers, the ones that deliver that massive ord penetrator

92
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,159
Speaker 5: bombs and the like. So this is this is the

93
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 5: tell I think in my perspective, I think that this

94
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 5: is going to be an air war. And for the

95
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 5: first time again we don't see the army there being

96
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 5: a participant.

97
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 2: Speaking of Diego Garcia, I believe the brit said you

98
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 2: can't use it. And we're getting no thanks from Saudi

99
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 2: Arabia and the UAE and some other allies. So it

100
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 2: might be logistically a little more challenging to get our

101
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 2: fighters refueled and that sort of thing. Is that going

102
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 2: to be significant you think to the success of whatever operation.

103
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 5: Well, I think once the thing starts, I think they'll

104
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 5: change their minds. And once it starts to go, the

105
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 5: Saudis do not want the Ranians to have a nuclear

106
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 5: weapon as well. And if this does happen, and the

107
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:51,160
Speaker 5: Intel says and based on what you know Israel, inside Mosade,

108
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,359
Speaker 5: inside the country there that this won't be like Venezuela,

109
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 5: where well they'll take out the leader. In fact, we

110
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 5: won't target the leader. That's illegal for us to do that.

111
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 5: But if when we know about the revolutionary guards, the

112
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,160
Speaker 5: individuals that control really the government control everything right now,

113
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 5: that have their thumb over most of the people. There's

114
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 5: a generational fault line that's there in any army. There

115
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 5: is you have the older generals and the younger privates,

116
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,679
Speaker 5: and the captains and the majors and the colonels in between. Well,

117
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 5: the bottom line is, if there's a revolution and the

118
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 5: older generation gets wiped out, the people are going to

119
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,799
Speaker 5: come after that middle and younger generation, so they could

120
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 5: hold the key to this whole thing. If this could

121
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,359
Speaker 5: be one of these successful internal revolutions that take place

122
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 5: once it gets started kinetically. So that's hope, a little

123
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 5: bit of a method there, not a method, but fundamentally

124
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 5: that's what I think the planning is.

125
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 3: Saying Washington Post. The President has publicly raised the possibility

126
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 3: of toppling around Supreme Leader, a long time US adversary,

127
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 3: suggesting last week quote it would be the best thing

128
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:51,479
Speaker 3: that could happen. Are we going to try to take

129
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:53,480
Speaker 3: out the Ayatola?

130
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 5: I just don't think that's legal. I think we can't

131
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 5: target him legally. We don't want other countries doing that

132
00:06:58,600 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 5: to our president.

133
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 3: And we can't make it look like it's on purpose.

134
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 5: Are we going to Yeah, yeah, we can target the

135
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 5: outhouse next to his palace there. Look, that would just

136
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 5: not be a really good solution here at this point,

137
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 5: and allowing him to leave might be the way to go.

138
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 5: But I think I think the rains are dug in,

139
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 5: and that's why there's no negotiation. I mean, here's the

140
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 5: bottom line. From their perspective, they are close to breakout.

141
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 5: They're close to weaponizing nuclear capability, and once they do that,

142
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 5: now they're a player in the game that they have

143
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 5: the deterrens that they can that they're looking for. They

144
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 5: could if they weaponize one or two bombs and can

145
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 5: fire that at Israel and destroy, you know, kill one

146
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 5: hundred thousand people in downtown Tel Aviv. That's all the

147
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 5: deterrens that they need from their perspective, and they're very close,

148
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 5: and that's why they're trying to extend this negotiation out talking.

149
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 5: Hopefully they can get it done.

150
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 3: But they have to be reacting like the Eyetola obviously

151
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 3: and leaders of the Revolutionary Guard wherever, that this is

152
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 3: a we're gonna die situation, what the fancy people call

153
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 3: an existential threat, as in, we're going to die if

154
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 3: if this occurs. So they're going to give everything that God,

155
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 3: aren't they.

156
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, And that's likely. Like I said, there'll be this

157
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 5: one barrage that'll come and once it starts, though, I

158
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 5: think it'll be so overwhelming on our side plus Israel.

159
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 5: We need Israel at this juncture as well. Maybe other

160
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 5: allies will get involved, but once I believe it does

161
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 5: start that we will take out a lot of their capability.

162
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 5: They also have this humanitarian crisis that's about to happen

163
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 5: to around doesn't have enough water for its people, So

164
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 5: that the conditions are right for this revolution to take

165
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 5: place there kinetically from the air, that again we haven't

166
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:44,079
Speaker 5: seen historically work before. Usually it's going to take someone

167
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 5: inside the military there as well, the regular Iranian Garmy

168
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 5: Army for example. We'll have to do something because if

169
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 5: the Revolutionary Guards decides to shoot civilians, then it's going

170
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 5: to be a really bad situation.

171
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, at some point we need to talk a little

172
00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 2: more about the actual tools of kinetic warf fair in

173
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 2: place and what it's going to look like. But the

174
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 2: politics of this is just so interesting to me. If

175
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 2: I were to advise the Ayatola and his regime right now,

176
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 2: I would say, agree to everything at the negotiation. Everything,

177
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 2: we'll start violating next week, along string and along string.

178
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 2: Is there any reason they wouldn't do that? Could they

179
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:23,440
Speaker 2: possibly think that they can hold off the US with arms?

180
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 5: No, I don't think they can, and that's exactly what

181
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 5: I would do also, But they still are very brazen

182
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 5: what they're saying, and they seem to be still adamant

183
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 5: about not compliantly. I mean, what the US is demanding

184
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 5: is something that they really can't accept. It's unfettered inspections.

185
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 5: It's either ballistic missile program is gone. It really breaks

186
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 5: up the alliance. Where is the alliance? Where's the China,

187
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 5: Russia and North Korea alliance?

188
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 2: Here?

189
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 5: Or China has not helped them at all. They delivered

190
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,439
Speaker 5: some ander fence systems over the past few months. Russia

191
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 5: has no game that they could play right now, There's nothing.

192
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:56,719
Speaker 5: There's no way they can try to support this. North

193
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 5: Korea is smart to stay on the sidelines here because

194
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:01,559
Speaker 5: if they start acting up again, the United States will

195
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:03,680
Speaker 5: go after them as well. So this is a good

196
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 5: reflection of what the mission in Venezuela. Obviously gave the

197
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 5: world the signal about our capability, so I think from

198
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 5: the deterrence perspective, that's really good. But things still could

199
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 5: go sideways, and I'm sure that's what they're planning for.

200
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:19,079
Speaker 3: Is this going to be a sustained campaign of weeks?

201
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 5: I think it's I think it's going to be a

202
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 5: sustained campaign of once they're confident they've destroyed every single

203
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:31,959
Speaker 5: arrange in target, whether that's the underground missile basis, whether

204
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 5: that's revolutionary guard installations, and any last standing nuclear facilities.

205
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 5: They had about eleven of them when this whole started

206
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 5: last June, when we first attacked, really only after a

207
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 5: few of them, and so I think every single one

208
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 5: of them will be turned to ash, and we're not

209
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 5: going to stop until the satellites show that that's the case.

210
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 2: Military analyst Mike Alliance, Mike, so interesting and so much

211
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,679
Speaker 2: more to say, is the events develop can't wait to

212
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 2: talk again.

213
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 3: Thanks, thanks for remy all right, absolutely also his whole

214
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:09,680
Speaker 3: It would be illegal to take out the iatola. Uh,

215
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 3: randomn't care about I mean, Israel doesn't care about that

216
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 3: sort of thing. Like We're probably not gonna pull it

217
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:17,079
Speaker 3: and put a bullet in the back of the head

218
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 3: of some nuclear scientists, but Israel will.

219
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 2: And come on, plausible deniability. So you find out the

220
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 2: iatola is in buildings, c you take out buildings A

221
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,680
Speaker 2: through half. Oh he was in there. Damn. I wow,

222
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 2: that's unfortunate. Come on, come on, here's a quick word

223
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,680
Speaker 2: from our friends at rough Greens. And then next segment,

224
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 2: we have got to talk about the Supreme Court knocking

225
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:39,959
Speaker 2: down Trump's tariffs. I have all sorts of good analysis

226
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 2: already gathered up, so stay with us. That's big rough

227
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,679
Speaker 2: Greens not a new food for your dog. It is

228
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 2: a supplement, a live nutritional supplement you add to your

229
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 2: dog's food. It does all sorts of great stuff, natural

230
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 2: antioxidants and inflammatory compounds that help reduce oxidative stress, support

231
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 2: immune defense, and slow age related declinents. What it's all

232
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,200
Speaker 2: about helping dogs stay active, mobal and alert as they age.

233
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 3: So once again, this is not changing your dog's food.

234
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 3: You keep the same food. You just put this live

235
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 3: nutritional supplement Roughgreens on top of the food, and it

236
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:11,000

247
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 3: I want to hear the legal analysis of the Supreme

248
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 3: Court decision that these tariffs are illegal, and then what's

249
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 3: the economic analysis of unspooling this whole thing. I can't

250
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:47,959
Speaker 3: even imagine.

251
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 2: How that will work. O nightmare god, I'd say. Anyway,

252
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 2: we've got all bear on K Street, that's my title.

253
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 3: And then we've also got to get to woo you

254
00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 3: boo goo. Right if you don't know what that means,

255
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:01,599
Speaker 3: stick around.

256
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 6: The Supreme Court ruling that President Trump's use these emergency

257
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 6: tariffs that he has implemented are illegal. It's the most

258
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 6: significant economic case to reach the High Court in years,

259
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:20,960
Speaker 6: sweeping implications for the economy and of course for presidential

260
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 6: power and at stake. Here are billions of dollars in

261
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 6: revenue that have already been collected by the government.

262
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 2: The out of control Trumps Supreme Court is what.

263
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 3: So, the thing Trump has been talking about since the

264
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 3: eighties that the country needs to do to stop the

265
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 3: unfair ripping us off by countries around the world turns

266
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 3: out it's illegal. That's something All my conservative sources that

267
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 3: I look to are happy. I don't know about Trumpy sources,

268
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:04,439
Speaker 3: but conservative as opposed to Trumpy, who believe in the

269
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 3: rule of law and that one man shouldn't be able

270
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:10,559
Speaker 3: to upend the economy like this, are happy about this ruling.

271
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:16,200
Speaker 2: The Court holes that AEPA, that Emergency Executive Powers Act

272
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 2: does not authorize the president to impose tariffs. It's written

273
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 2: by the Chief Justice.

274
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, it just occurs to me if you're going to

275
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 3: follow this through Twitter or cable news today, Democrats who

276
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 3: have always wanted to use tariffs Bernie and his crowd

277
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 3: have always wanted to use tariffs. That crowd is going

278
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 3: to cheer that Trump lost. And then there's a whole

279
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 3: bunch of people that yes, Republicans have always been against tariffs.

280
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 3: And the court comes in and says no to this,

281
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 3: then a whole bunch of Republicans are going to be boo.

282
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 3: So the scripts have really flipped there.

283
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 2: Indeed, Yeah, so Roberts wrote the decision based on tourds

284
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 2: separating by sixteen others. In i EPA regulate in importation,

285
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 2: the President asserts the independent power to impose tariffs on

286
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 2: imports from any country of any product, at any rate,

287
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 2: for any amount of time. Those words cannot bear such weight.

288
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 2: It's a six to three with Thomas, Alito and Kavanaugh dissenting.

289
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 2: I'd like to big fans of all I.

290
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 3: Know and they're hardcore conservatives, or certainly Thomas, I would

291
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 3: like to read, actually read his explanation why I think

292
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 3: the president could do this. The winning opinion decision to

293
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 3: the power to impose tariffs is very clearly a branch

294
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 3: of the taxing power, which is what a lot of

295
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 3: people have been saying.

296
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 2: It's a taxing and separation of powers is a sacred

297
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 2: principle of conservatism, So I'm surprised I've got to read

298
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 2: Thomas Alito and Kavanov's descents. But just for the record,

299
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 2: Roberts wrote it, joined by Soda, Mayor, Kagan, Gorsuch, Barrett,

300
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 2: and Jackson, and then the both the concurrences and the

301
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 2: sense are long, dozens and dozens to hundreds of pages,

302
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 2: which says to me, yeah, I agree with y'all, but

303
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 2: I think you're getting this wrong. And that's not quite

304
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 2: right and very scattered decision. So I doesn't say a

305
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 2: thing about refunds, by the way, well right, the refunds thing.

306
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 2: All the people that paid, you know, X dollars more

307
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 2: for a car or truck or a microwave or whatever

308
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 2: the hell do you get your money back? All the

309
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 2: companies that ate a whole bunch of that or saw

310
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 2: their sales go down because of the tariffs, do they

311
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 2: get anything back? How does this get unspooled? About a

312
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 2: thousand lawsuits, probably significant implications for the US economy, consumers,

313
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 2: the president's trade policy. Trump said, I lost the Supreme

314
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 2: Court would force the government to unwind to trade deals

315
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 2: with other countries. Correct and potentially pay hefty refunds to importers.

316
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 3: Well, this is his big stick in a lot of

317
00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 3: cases too. What he would you know, whether it was

318
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 3: Country's about Greenland or punishing China or whatever. It's just okay,

319
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 3: one hundred percent tariff starting next week if you don't

320
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 3: come around and that tool is gone. Now.

321
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,159
Speaker 2: I have been harshly critical of that tool and the

322
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:14,879
Speaker 2: way Trump's yielded it. And like we say about a

323
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,880
Speaker 2: handful of different things these days, you go far enough

324
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:20,919
Speaker 2: down the road of a bad policy untangling, it's going

325
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 2: to be really painful, see immigration for instance. Yeah, in

326
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 2: the opposite direction, I agree with a lot of what

327
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 2: Trump's doing on that.

328
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:32,160
Speaker 3: I'm glad it was six three and not five four.

329
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 3: That's a little helpful.

330
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 2: Or all the conservatives and all the liberals just right,

331
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 2: because that makes that stupid, dishonest narrative too easy to perpetrate.

332
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:44,719
Speaker 2: We have some savvy analysts, including the great Jonathan Turley,

333
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 2: cued up and ready to go for your next segment,

334
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:48,399
Speaker 2: trying to sort out what all this means.

335
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:50,399
Speaker 3: Well, this is a big deal. In a couple of

336
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:54,199
Speaker 3: days before the State of the Union address, where he

337
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 3: was going the days before we go to war with Iran,

338
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:58,679
Speaker 3: when he was going to go up and tout the

339
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:00,920
Speaker 3: good account of me, which he's got a lot of

340
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:02,639
Speaker 3: numbers to back him up. But he probably was going

341
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 3: to credit the tariffs for the good economy, and or

342
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:11,879
Speaker 3: maybe he still is. I don't know, probably Armstrong and getty.

343
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:17,719
Speaker 3: A lot of times your big Supreme Court splashy Supreme

344
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 3: Court rulings are actually very very complicated and misconstrued by

345
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:24,919
Speaker 3: all the coverage. I don't know that this is the

346
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 3: case in this one. Everything I'm reading so far, it's

347
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 3: pretty clear cut that even a dunce like me can

348
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:35,120
Speaker 3: understand why the Supreme Court said, no, you can't put

349
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 3: tariffs in all these different countries. Call it an emergency,

350
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:41,679
Speaker 3: and do it as the president, with John Roberts writing,

351
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 3: had Congress intended to convey the distinct and extraordinary power

352
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:48,639
Speaker 3: to impost tariffs, it would have done so expressly right,

353
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 3: which is very simple to understand. If Congress wanted the

354
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 3: President to be able to do this, it would have

355
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 3: been very clear.

356
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,639
Speaker 2: One more key quote from the decision, the President SERTs

357
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:01,880
Speaker 2: the extraordinary power to unil laterally imposed tariffs of unlimited

358
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,679
Speaker 2: amount duration, and scope. In light of the breadth history

359
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:08,240
Speaker 2: and constitutional context of that assorted authority, he must identify

360
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:13,119
Speaker 2: clear congressional authorization to exercise it. The Chief Justice wrote again,

361
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:18,919
Speaker 2: the dissenters were among my fath Justices Thomas, Alito and Kavanaugh,

362
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 2: interestingly enough, can't wait to read their descents.

363
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:23,439
Speaker 3: Well, that's probably eight million pages. I'll have to have

364
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 3: AI summarized for me. But I'm interested in that too.

365
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,359
Speaker 3: There are two kinds of tariffs. One I thought maybe

366
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:31,640
Speaker 3: they'd let him slide on, because you got the one

367
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 3: kind that was every remember on Liberation Day, every country

368
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 3: on Earth, because we have a trade imbalance with them,

369
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:42,120
Speaker 3: which is nonsensical.

370
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,879
Speaker 2: But and some of those countries who got a trade

371
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 2: surplus with.

372
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 3: But that's not an emergency now, even if you buy

373
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 3: the idea that as the world's biggest superpower, of course

374
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 3: there's more trade going on one direction than the other

375
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:00,640
Speaker 3: in a lot of cases. But how do you call

376
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 3: that emergency.

377
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 2: The other one, though, less you're a mercantilist, google it.

378
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 3: Canada, Mexico, and China. The one about fentanyl. I thought

379
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 3: they might let him slide on that one, calling that

380
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 3: an emergency. But none of those kinds of tariffs. This

381
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 3: ruling says, Nope, you can't do any of this. Jonathan

382
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 3: Turley was a couple of interesting takes. Let's start with

383
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 3: thirty seven.

384
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:22,399
Speaker 7: Michael, this is what some of us predicted. This was

385
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:27,120
Speaker 7: a case where the administration was at a disadvantage. AJIPA

386
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:30,400
Speaker 7: does not refer to tariffs, and tariffs are a big

387
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 7: deal under the Constitution. It's a critical form of revenue

388
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:37,440
Speaker 7: that is left to Congress. And I thought that the

389
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:41,360
Speaker 7: administration did a terrific job in front of the Supreme Court.

390
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 7: They could not have argued this case better, in my view,

391
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:47,640
Speaker 7: but you can't really escape that language. And right out

392
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 7: of the bat when that oral argument began, the Chief

393
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:55,439
Speaker 7: Justice John Roberts said, this is a tax, and you

394
00:20:55,440 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 7: could almost hear the administration gulping because that's not what

395
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 7: they wanted the justices to take from their argument. Roberts

396
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:09,240
Speaker 7: and others clearly view this as a tax that rests

397
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 7: with Congress.

398
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 3: Jonathan Turley is good and he knows he's talking to

399
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 3: the Fox audience, so I like the way he words it.

400
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:19,359
Speaker 3: I always thought that the Trump administration was at a

401
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 3: disadvantage here. It's a nice way of saying you're wrong.

402
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:27,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, and always have been. Yeah, a little more turly now.

403
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 7: There's a lot of runway still for the administration. We

404
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 7: have to really get into this opinion, into some of

405
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 7: the weeds to see if it is prospective only. But

406
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 7: also the administration is other tools in its toolbox. It

407
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 7: can actually impose tariffs under other statutes. So this night

408
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 7: is hardly over for the administration when it comes to tariffs.

409
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 2: How about the absolutely fantastic Sarah Isger.

410
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:57,720
Speaker 1: This has been a Supreme Court that has really been

411
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 1: shrinking down executive power. We saw them do this during

412
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,880
Speaker 1: the Biden administration with his student loan debt forgiveness. The

413
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 1: reasoning here is nearly identical the idea that presidents cannot

414
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:13,440
Speaker 1: look back to old, vague statutes from Congress to expand

415
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:17,160
Speaker 1: their own power. This, as Devin said, is a huge

416
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,680
Speaker 1: shift in presidential authority moving forward and probably the most

417
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 1: important case we've seen from the Supreme Court in decades,

418
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:27,120
Speaker 1: really putting the ball in Congress's court. If presidents want

419
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:29,879
Speaker 1: to have these big policy initiatives, they will need to

420
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 1: work with Congress moving forward.

421
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 3: It's interesting that she says they're reigning in presidents just

422
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 3: getting make decisions based on, you know, vaguely worded things

423
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 3: from the past. Is that going to apply to the

424
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 3: military stuff at some point, because we've been doing that

425
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 3: for a long time. Where you use that authorization from

426
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 3: nine to eleven, from way back for anything you want

427
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 3: to do in the world.

428
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 2: Let's table at motion, put a pin in it, circle back, etc.

429
00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 2: For another day. It's a big and ah. I would

430
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 2: say this to my conservative brethren. Of course, conservatives are

431
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 2: against hers, my trumpy brethren. The last thing in the

432
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:17,200
Speaker 2: world we want is the presidency to become kingly. Our

433
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:23,960
Speaker 2: system protects us from that. Our ideas are better than theirs.

434
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 2: They work better. Now it's a fight because we're up

435
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 2: against the academy, as they say, academia and the media

436
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:37,640
Speaker 2: and entertainment. But our ideas are better. We don't want

437
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,119
Speaker 2: to veer from one king to another every four years.

438
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:44,719
Speaker 3: No, and especially if we're about to head into a

439
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:49,119
Speaker 3: you continue our populist age, socialist y populist age of

440
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:53,959
Speaker 3: speaking to the aggrieved and getting them all whipped up

441
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,439
Speaker 3: and tell them why they deserve more of other people's stuff.

442
00:23:56,600 --> 00:24:00,439
Speaker 3: You really don't want the president to be able to

443
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 3: just dole out student loans. You don't have to pay them.

444
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,159
Speaker 3: Let the rich pay them. And it's the rich that

445
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 3: took out the loans. It doesn't matter.

446
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:13,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, well that was a great episode of Jack Armstrong

447
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 2: Political Theater. Ah yeah, yeah. I've got to get deep

448
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:19,439
Speaker 2: into the rulings to figure out what this means. But

449
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 2: the there was not a word that I have seen

450
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:25,199
Speaker 2: thus far about what do we do with all the

451
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:27,680
Speaker 2: money we collected and what do we do as you

452
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:30,119
Speaker 2: pointed out, with the people who paid it and the

453
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:34,919
Speaker 2: companies who went out of business because they're materials that

454
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 2: they had to import to manufacture in the United States

455
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 2: were too expensive and they shut down.

456
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:44,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I assume there'll be some lawsuits there. The whole

457
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 3: all of us paid more for a tablet or a

458
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 3: microwave or whatever. We're just out of luck. I mean,

459
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 3: there's no way we're getting our money back, obviously. But

460
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 3: now the companies that went under or had to retool,

461
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 3: but the companies that you know are breaking ground on

462
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:05,399
Speaker 3: plants because the only way you can move forward is

463
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:07,360
Speaker 3: if you make that thing here in the United States.

464
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 3: Because the whole tariff situation.

465
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 2: I suspect very strongly that most of those companies were

466
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 2: saying that's what they were doing to please the Trump

467
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 2: administration and Trump himself, when they'd planned on doing it anyway,

468
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:23,120
Speaker 2: because that's a classic maneuver in the Trump era.

469
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:27,360
Speaker 3: Sure, yeah, you, uh, breaking ground any day. I did

470
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:29,679
Speaker 3: it rained last weekend, But next weekend, that's when we're

471
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:30,359
Speaker 3: gonna bring around.

472
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 2: And anybody who said we're gonna spend three billion dollars

473
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:36,400
Speaker 2: because thanks to Presidents Trump's tariffs, we're going to bring

474
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 2: back American manufacturer would be a fool. Number One, it

475
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 2: was still in the courts and everybody knew it was

476
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 2: not an easy day for the administration. Number two, the

477
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 2: administration is gonna be gone like it or not in

478
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:48,359
Speaker 2: a couple of years.

479
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, no matter what. And but what about all these

480
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:56,400
Speaker 3: countries that pledged all this money to try to stay

481
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 3: out of trouble. And then he'd lower the tariffs, so

482
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 3: you know, I don't remember the numbers, but they he'd announce,

483
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:04,920
Speaker 3: you know, I'm gonna hit China with a fifty tariff

484
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 3: for one hundred percent tariff, or India or whoever, and

485
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 3: then they'd pledge, we're going to we're donating, donating and

486
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:18,880
Speaker 3: basically eighty billion dollars. Yeah, five hundred million dollars whatever. Yeah,

487
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 3: is that just never really believe it was always phony anyway,

488
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:23,879
Speaker 3: So it's extra phony.

489
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, now it's well, it's a phony and hollow.

490
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:32,440
Speaker 3: Mmm. I'll be damned. That's quite the thing.

491
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:36,919
Speaker 2: Separation of powers, man, you gotta love it. You've got

492
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 2: to love it. It's kept us afloat this long.

493
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 3: Well, it's you got two powers. You got the executive branch,

494
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 3: which is doing plenty of good job under Republicans and

495
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:47,960
Speaker 3: Democrats of flexing their power and seeing who will push

496
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:52,200
Speaker 3: back Supreme Court doing something Today, You dumb bastards still

497
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 3: ain't seeing much out of Congress flexing their muscle.

498
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:57,200
Speaker 2: You gotta have muscle to flex it.

499
00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:02,680
Speaker 3: They just answer to whoever is uh uh which party

500
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:04,119
Speaker 3: has got the presidency at the time.

501
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:08,440
Speaker 2: They just raised money on TikTok. Yeah, that's Congresses. It's

502
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:10,919
Speaker 2: not there in the Constitution, but it's implied.

503
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 3: Well, I hope, I hope most people realize. I mean,

504
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 3: I really think this is good news, really good news.

506
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:25,360

00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:00,119
Speaker 4: You.

520
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 2: Uh, there are days I think if our country was

521
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 2: a family, I'd think it's falling apart, probably on.

522
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:09,479
Speaker 3: A fall apart. What was they gonna say?

523
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 2: Oh?

524
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:13,160
Speaker 3: Washington Post said Trump might be waiting until the Olympics

525
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 3: are over. Do you wait till the Olympics are over

526
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:16,480
Speaker 3: to launch a war? And if so?

527
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:20,439
Speaker 2: Why? Yeah? Wow, that's well, I mean Russia did that

528
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:24,200
Speaker 2: with the Olympics in China. But why so they could

529
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 2: have their party and not distract and cause controversy in

530
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:28,440
Speaker 2: the rest?

531
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:32,879
Speaker 3: Well, okay, they they need they need China support. We

532
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 3: don't need Italy's what do we care? With Italy thinks,

533
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:39,720
Speaker 3: we don't anybody have any thoughts on any of this

534
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 3: text line four one five two nine five KFTC.

535
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 8: It's definitely a very unusual case. The caller alleged that

536
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 8: there was a dentist practicing and showing signs of intoxication.

537
00:28:56,920 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 8: They found Kelly Buck, who did exhibit signs of intoxication,

538
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:04,440
Speaker 8: failed the field sobriety tests. She was ultimately arrested for

539
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:08,160
Speaker 8: performing surgery while intoxicated and taken to the Grayson County jail.

540
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 2: Wow.

541
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 3: So somebody calls the police and says, I think my

542
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:16,040
Speaker 3: dentist is drunk in the middle of the day. I

543
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 3: assume because that's when dental procedures usually happen. The police

544
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 3: come and do a field sobriety test on the dentist

545
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 3: and say, yep, this dentist is drunk.

546
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 2: What's a field sobriety test for dentists? Right? Still this cavity,

547
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:33,720
Speaker 2: Oh hey, hey, you went outside the lines?

548
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:37,479
Speaker 3: Well right, what's the legal limit for people? Always use

549
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 3: the legal limit for driving for everything with alcohol?

550
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 2: Right, Like there's some sort of government limitation for how

551
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 2: drunk you can get? Right? There's not? Thank god, I

552
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:48,120
Speaker 2: thought this was America.

553
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 3: Well, there's all kinds of things you can perform at

554
00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 3: an adequate level buzzed beyond what we allow for driving.

555
00:29:55,200 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 2: Sure, easily, it's an entirely different question. Yeah, you stupid.

556
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:02,600
Speaker 3: You are not out of control sitting on your own

557
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 3: couch bowing a one point zero watching a football game.

558
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 3: There's nothing wrong with that. That doesn't mean your kids

559
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 3: are in danger, or your neighbors or anything like that.

560
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 3: But it's produced that way twice the legal limit, right, Yeah, yeah,

561
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 3: of for what, idiot? Yeah, I media is so bad,

562
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 3: so do I don't know how. I don't know how

563
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:25,680
Speaker 3: drunk I want my dentist to be with their sharp tools,

564
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 3: the gouger, the poker, et cetera. What do you know

565
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 3: about this, Katie the grinder?

566
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 9: I don't know anything about it other than I don't

567
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 9: want my dentist drunk at all?

568
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, like my airline pilot low threshold.

569
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:40,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just not even a don't even sniff very low.

570
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 3: What if it steadies their hands? Maybe they're the sort

571
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 3: of person that you know, A quick a drink a

572
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 3: bracer and calms me down. Now I can do a

573
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 3: good job and concentrate.

574
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 2: I famously got better at the road test after a

575
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 2: couple of drinks. Now it degenerated quickly after that many

576
00:30:57,680 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 2: years ago. Yeah, I hear you, Jack, I'm here.

577
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 3: Yes, I'm guessing since a number of patients had complained

578
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:08,480
Speaker 3: and actually called the police, that it was more of

579
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 3: an oh still all still.

580
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 2: More like that. It's not like they have random road

581
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:20,760
Speaker 2: block checkpoints for dentists. Somebody said something clearly going around.

582
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 2: I'm not. I'm perfectly still to move around. Wow, next

583
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 2: hour when ambulance's attack. Stay with us for that?

584
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 3: Uh you?

585
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 2: Oh? Oh, that's right. There was something else I really

586
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:35,400
Speaker 2: wanted to get into, and it flitted out of my mind.

587
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:39,240
Speaker 2: What's the matter with me too drunk watching football games

588
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:40,480
Speaker 2: or something. I'll come up with it.

589
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 3: I got another dentist story for Katie because she may

590
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 3: not have heard this one. This happened in Woodland, California.

591
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 3: Maybe you did report it when you were doing San

592
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 3: Francisco radio. It was very popular around here. The dentist

593
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 3: who would convince people it was a dude. He would

594
00:31:55,400 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 3: convince women that they had TMJ, their jaws hurt, and

595
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:04,400
Speaker 3: that his cure for it was to massage their breasts. Oh,

596
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:07,440
Speaker 3: and he did this for years. He did this for

597
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 3: years where he would just rub on women's boobs, claiming

598
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 3: he was carrying their team.

599
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 9: There's two problems here. One, he's a creep. Two the

600
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 9: women that fell for it. I know, come on, that's

601
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 9: what we said at the time.

602
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 2: Like you'd think as the owner of a couple of breasts,

603
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:27,520
Speaker 2: you would have heard about that, you know at some

604
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:30,760
Speaker 2: point in your life that that was legit. Yeah, because

605
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 2: it's pretty notable that in a professional setting somebody gets

606
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:36,360
Speaker 2: to grab onto both of them, right, you'd think word

607
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:38,320
Speaker 2: would get around that. Hey, you know if you get

608
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:40,560
Speaker 2: TMG the TMJ the way they relieve it is, and

609
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:42,400
Speaker 2: the women would think geez, really.

610
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:44,960
Speaker 3: That would have been on the radar. Oh yeah yeah,

611
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 3: and plenty of women would thought, well, I'm only going

612
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 3: to do that with a female dentist or whatever, not

613
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 3: just some guy.

614
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 2: Excuse me, trust me, if they if they had to

615
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:54,959
Speaker 2: kick in the balls to cure like, I don't know,

616
00:32:56,240 --> 00:33:01,240
Speaker 2: an overbite, yeah, word would get around.

617
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:07,040
Speaker 3: Excuse me, doc, can I chat GPT this real quick?

618
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 3: It's just fine to have trouble. How these two things

619
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 3: come together.

620
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:15,680
Speaker 9: I just couldn't even imagine if a Dennis said that

621
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 9: to me, going.

622
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 3: Oh, okay, yeah, sure, I remember talking about this a

623
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 3: lot at the time, and it's it's an interesting insight

624
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:27,960
Speaker 3: into a chunk of society that will just go along

625
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 3: with things out of fear of conflict or something.

626
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 2: I guess, yeah, fear of conflict, of fear of challenging authority,

627
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 2: just being so shocked. I mean, I give some leeway

628
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 2: for wait a minute, what and people are just shocked

629
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:49,280
Speaker 2: into inaction. I tend to be shocked into action. But

630
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 2: I think that might just be genetic or something. I

631
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 2: don't know. I mean, personally, like you, Katie can't even

632
00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:59,800
Speaker 2: imagine thinking, well, he's the dentist. I suppose I'll let

633
00:33:59,880 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 2: him grope me. Yeah, not a chance, Nephie says, I

634
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 2: have to drop my pants. I'll just submit to that

635
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:06,000
Speaker 2: as well, right.

636
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:08,040
Speaker 9: Gause.

637
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:11,239
Speaker 3: That solves an over bike and that wraps up our

638
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 3: Friday segment. Rogue Dennis, We'll see you next Friday. Tails

639
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:19,360

Speaker 2: drunk idiots and taking off my stock next hour. Really

642
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 2: want to talk about this, even if you are a

643
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:46,719
Speaker 2: hardcore atheist, Judeo Christian values are what make your life livable, productive,

644
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:50,440
Speaker 2: and happy in the United States, and everybody needs to

645
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:54,640
Speaker 2: know it and say it out loud, and Marco Rubio

646
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:56,520
Speaker 2: did the other day. I want to salute him for

647
00:34:56,560 --> 00:35:01,280
Speaker 2: that and drill down a little bit into culture means everything.

648
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:05,360
Speaker 2: Culture is upstream of everything except perhaps the word of

649
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:06,479
Speaker 2: God if you believe in God.

650
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:09,640
Speaker 3: So quickly. A couple of big things if you haven't

651
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:11,799
Speaker 3: heard them. Supreme Court is ruled Trump can't do that

652
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:14,360
Speaker 3: whole terraff thing, the whole emergency tarff thing, can't.

653
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:17,080
Speaker 2: Do me out of control Trump Supreme Court.

654
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:22,160
Speaker 3: So that's a big one. All news organizations reporting sources

655
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:24,560
Speaker 3: inside the White House and Pentagon saying this strike on

656
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:28,640
Speaker 3: Iran is looking almost certain and is going to be

657
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:30,879
Speaker 3: a pretty big deal. So we got that also, Prince

658
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:36,040
Speaker 3: I haven't even mentioned we're blockading Cuba, right, What are

659
00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:36,920
Speaker 3: we trying to get out of them?

660
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:41,040
Speaker 2: We're trying to get communism out of them.

661
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 3: That'd be next source is, Yeah, we got a bunch

662
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:47,040
Speaker 3: of good stuff coming in the next two hours. I mean,

663
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:49,880
Speaker 3: the show's only half over and it's been great so far,

664
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:51,080
Speaker 3: and it's going to continue to be good.

665
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:53,759
Speaker 2: That's faint that I haven't slacked off yet as half

666
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:55,839
Speaker 2: a miracle, So stay tuned to see how the next

667
00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:56,359
Speaker 2: couple of hours.

668
00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:58,520
Speaker 3: I'm gonna be dentist. I'm gonna be dentist drunk the

669
00:35:58,600 --> 00:35:59,400
Speaker 3: last two hours.

670
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 2: But if you can't stick around, here's an idea. Subscribe

671
00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:05,279
Speaker 2: or follow our podcast, Armstrong and Getty on demand, and

672
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:07,200
Speaker 2: while you're at it, give us a glowing five star review.

673
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:11,200
Speaker 2: It helps the algorithms recommend us instead of morons and

674
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:13,600
Speaker 2: or liberals who poison the minds of our youth.

675
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:16,600
Speaker 3: The markets kind of liken the Supreme Court ruling. It

676
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:18,799
Speaker 3: looks like, among other things, we can talk about coming

677
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:18,960
Speaker 3: up

678
