Multiple teenagers, yes, and 23 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 1: an adult specifically. 24 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, so indeed that happened fast. 25 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:42,320 Speaker 1: Well, the politicians needed a and Hispanic saint to worship 26 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:46,640 Speaker 1: performatively to get the Hispanic vote, and they chose this bloke. 27 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 1: Turns out may have been a little premature. So what 28 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 1: are you going to do? Back to your headlines, the 29 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 1: gas gas gas, So holy crap, I was taken a 30 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 1: bunch of punditry today from your millity and lists and 31 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:04,800 Speaker 1: everything like that. Yesterday was the biggest escalation since the 32 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 1: war began if you aren't paying attention, and that is 33 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 1: saying something, so what are we sixteen days in or 34 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:18,800 Speaker 1: something like that. Israel attacked so the largest natural gas 35 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:25,639 Speaker 1: field in the world straddles Iran and Qatar hudder, and 36 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:29,799 Speaker 1: so both countries got part of it, and Israel attacked 37 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:34,960 Speaker 1: the Iran portion of that without apparently talking to the 38 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,680 Speaker 1: United States about it, because Trump seems angry about it. 39 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:38,239 Speaker 2: Now. 40 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,640 Speaker 1: You never know if that's performative or not, and maybe 41 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,079 Speaker 1: for good reason. When it comes to wartime, sometimes your 42 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 1: performative has perfectly legitimate reasons to not be honest if 43 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 1: you're killing people and blowing stuff up. Yes, sometimes fibbing 44 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 1: is okay, right if it helps your. 45 00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 2: Cause in the short term. 46 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:05,080 Speaker 1: But so Israel hit that, and Iran struck back on 47 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 1: Qatar side, Qatar which had been not involved in. 48 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:10,919 Speaker 2: The war up to this point, and they are very, 49 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:11,640 Speaker 2: very angry. 50 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,360 Speaker 1: And then Saudi Arabia is representative I saw this morning 51 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,960 Speaker 1: on Fox talking about we are going to do everything 52 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 1: we have to do, economically, militarily, diplomatically to make this stop. 53 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:23,800 Speaker 1: So it's quite possible the Gulf States are going to 54 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 1: get fully involved in this war like today, pounding the 55 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,080 Speaker 1: crap out of Iran, pounding the crap out of our 56 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 1: own yeah, yeah, yeah. And Trump put out a strongly 57 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 1: worded truth social last night around this whole thing, who said, 58 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 1: the United States knew nothing about this particular attack and 59 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 1: the country of a Qatar was in no way, shape 60 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 1: or form involved with it in or did. 61 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 2: It have any idea that it was going to happen. 62 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 1: I was the first one, and then the second one 63 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 1: was this will not happen again. Israel struck the gasfield 64 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 1: without us having any knowledge of it whatsoever, and Israel 65 00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 1: will not do this again. 66 00:03:57,760 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 2: I don't know if. 67 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:04,840 Speaker 1: He thinks he can tell Israel what they can and 68 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 1: can't do, or is hoping again or what. Yeah, yeah, 69 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 1: I would be fascinated the relationship. I'd be fascinating to 70 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 1: know how the relationship actually works. It's absolutely not what 71 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:21,039 Speaker 1: your Tucker Candice paranoid lunatic crowd is claiming. But Joe 72 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:25,480 Speaker 1: Kant's sure Joe Knton Tucker last night. I watched it 73 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 1: part of it. It's like three hours long, too long, 74 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,599 Speaker 1: too long, didn't watch, But yeah, I wonder what that 75 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 1: relationship is because they have, you know, overlapping goals, we 76 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 1: and the Israelis, but not you know, one hundred percent overlapping. 77 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,480 Speaker 1: But the idea of regional tit for tat, I'll smash 78 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,360 Speaker 1: up your oil fields. Yeah, I'll smash up your oil fields. 79 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 1: That's not going to do anybody any good. No, certainly, 80 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:54,600 Speaker 1: certainly not for the price of And I mean, there's 81 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,280 Speaker 1: just so many tentacles to this, because, first of all, 82 00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,720 Speaker 1: the price of oil has a lot to do with 83 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 1: Russia's ability to survive as a nation. We wanted the 84 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 1: price really, really low because it was just strangling them economically. 85 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 1: And I don't know if you remember, but there's they've 86 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 1: got a war going on against Ukraine. Now the price 87 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:14,719 Speaker 1: of oil is high which is good for Russia. And 88 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,840 Speaker 1: then he got the China thing. China gets almost all 89 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:19,920 Speaker 1: the natural gas that Iran has taken out of that 90 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,599 Speaker 1: largest gas field in the world is going to China. 91 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,320 Speaker 1: And now it's been blowed up. What point does China 92 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,240 Speaker 1: decide we got to do something. I don't know what 93 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,479 Speaker 1: we do, but I don't know whose side to be 94 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:36,560 Speaker 1: on here, But yeah, wow, which way does shishin Ping swing? 95 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 1: He has no friends, He just has, you know, carrots 96 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,600 Speaker 1: and sticks and no alliances that mean anything. 97 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 2: I don't I don't know. I don't know that. 98 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:52,719 Speaker 1: I believe in the inklings, feelings, spider scents, that sort 99 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 1: of stuff with all issues, with some issues, but not 100 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 1: all issues. But man, and maybe I've maybe I've just 101 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,159 Speaker 1: been taken in too much of mainstream media, that is, 102 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:03,680 Speaker 1: you know, often seems like they're rooting for us to 103 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 1: lose and would be happy if it happened so that 104 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:10,159 Speaker 1: they can blame Trump. Yeah, the country is the president 105 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 1: in their view, whether it's a Democrat or Republican. I 106 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 1: want to talk about that more and more later. I'm 107 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 1: having trouble getting a tissue out of my box. Sometimes 108 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 1: they stuff tissues and boxes so tightly. I need one, 109 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 1: you can't get it out. Have you ever had that? 110 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:26,559 Speaker 1: You've been spending a fair amount of time in the gym, 111 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:32,040 Speaker 1: But apparently more is needed, as they're just you pull 112 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:33,599 Speaker 1: and you pull and they won't come out. I haven't 113 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 1: never had that problem. They're all they packed them so 114 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 1: tightly in the box. I don't know if it's cheaper 115 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,920 Speaker 1: to make us small a box as possible. I remember 116 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 1: this being a problem years ago, but now they're so 117 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 1: tightly you pull one up, they just all rip apart. Well, 118 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 1: now this runs contrary to feel free. Oh lord, you 119 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:55,160 Speaker 1: could turn off your mic Co dang on jack, but yeah, 120 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:59,159 Speaker 1: no kidding, but this runs contrary to my absolutely correct 121 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:03,279 Speaker 1: theory that the shrink inflation that's affected toilet paper is 122 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:03,720 Speaker 1: that they. 123 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 2: Don't wind it as tight. 124 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:09,360 Speaker 1: Ah. Yes, I've heard multiple people say, man, we are 125 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 1: going through toilet paper quickly. That's I'm sure there's an 126 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:15,520 Speaker 1: adjustment on the winder in the factories and so you 127 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 1: know just what used to last three days to one. 128 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 2: But anyway, just on the winder at the factory. 129 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not no engineering technical terms, but jar agon 130 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 1: stop it. But so you've got some nice tightly packed 131 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 1: tissues there. 132 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:34,560 Speaker 2: Congratulations. Okay, So back to my spidy sense thing. 133 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:39,239 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, oh you know, uh, Neurologists, people who study 134 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 1: these things, would suggest that you have made subconscious connections 135 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 1: and calculations that you're not even aware of. Right, And 136 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 1: I get that with like you're walking through a parking 137 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 1: garage and that your spidy sense is telling you something's off. 138 00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 1: I believe in that one hundred percent. I'm not so 139 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:02,120 Speaker 1: sure about anything that is. You're getting information from the media. 140 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 1: Sometimes you've just been convinced by a lot of false 141 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 1: input of something. I'm thinking of some people I know 142 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 1: right now who believe various things just because of their 143 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 1: spidey sense is telling them really crazy things because it 144 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 1: takes because the inputs are very crazy. So it might 145 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 1: just be I'm taking in too much of the you know, 146 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 1: Trump Hayton media, or maybe I've had too much coffee. 147 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 1: But I just I feel like this might spin out 148 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:30,480 Speaker 1: of control, this whole War Interran thing, it just feels 149 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 1: like after yesterday. Just maybe it's because I've read so 150 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 1: much about World War One on my life started pretty 151 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:42,319 Speaker 1: pretty specific and then just spun out of control. Things 152 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 1: can spin out of control, unleash the dogs of war, 153 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 1: things can spin out of control. But man, well yesterday 154 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 1: was without a doubt. This is not spidy sense. This 155 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:55,200 Speaker 1: is just factual, the biggest escalation day of the war. 156 00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 1: I see some sort of international conference coming. I certainly 157 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:07,959 Speaker 1: hope we have learned from the past and cooler heads 158 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 1: will foresee, you know, the chance for a tescalate and 159 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 1: spin out of control. Where's you're to get together and 160 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,960 Speaker 1: get our signals together. Why you're playing no roles, that'd 161 00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 1: be because they're irrelevant. But that'd be one reason for 162 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 1: France or Great Britain or Germany to be involved, is 163 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 1: at least you'd have some say, you'd be at the 164 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:33,040 Speaker 1: table for you know, yeah, we're gonna help with some 165 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:34,839 Speaker 1: ships and we'll put some troops over here or whatever 166 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 1: we got to do. 167 00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:37,720 Speaker 2: And this is what we think ought to happen. 168 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 1: If you're not helping at all, you don't get to 169 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 1: say nothing, yeah, yeah, you want to hear something notable. 170 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 1: So Britain's airbase in Cyprus was attacked by Iranian drones 171 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 1: and the brit scrambled to send the HMS Dragon, which 172 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 1: is a ship. It's an anti aircraft and anti missile warship. 173 00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 1: It's like their best one to protect their base. But 174 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:03,160 Speaker 1: it turns out as they fired it up, it needed 175 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 1: repairs and the repair crew on that dockyard only works 176 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:10,319 Speaker 1: nine to five shifts I believe five days a week, 177 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 1: including during wartime, and so its deployment was delayed by 178 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:20,240 Speaker 1: more than a week. Wow Europe. So it's like a 179 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 1: well company. I had call yesterday and it was after 180 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 1: four o'clock, so I couldn't get ahold of anybody. This 181 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,480 Speaker 1: is kind of an emergency, but you'd think during war 182 00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:29,319 Speaker 1: time it would be like that. 183 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, we can't. I'm afraid we can't defend our bridge 184 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 2: because it's after five. 185 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:40,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly exactly. Scramble the planes. Ah, the pilots get 186 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:43,840 Speaker 1: off in ten minutes, and we can't afford the overtime 187 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:48,600 Speaker 1: because of our moribund economy paralyzed by our zero emissions 188 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:50,240 Speaker 1: garbage that we adhered to. 189 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 2: For a couple of decades. 190 00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 1: Is this Donald Rumsfeld's old Europe comment coming to life? 191 00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,679 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I think it's in full bloom. 192 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:05,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, be interesting to see what happens today if the 193 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,880 Speaker 1: Gulf States decide to join MAN. If the Gulf States 194 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:12,599 Speaker 1: join Israel in a war. That's a heck of a thing. 195 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:17,439 Speaker 1: But I don't know, maybe that ends it faster. Yeah, 196 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,319 Speaker 1: they seem to be pissed off at Iran. They wanted 197 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 1: the regime to leave anyway before all of this happened. 198 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,199 Speaker 1: But they're turning their eye or not against the United 199 00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:29,000 Speaker 1: States and Israel as far as I can tell to, 200 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:34,319 Speaker 1: toward Iron. So yeah, so far, Iran has no friends 201 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:37,320 Speaker 1: that are willing to do much other than Russia doing 202 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:41,199 Speaker 1: a little targeting of our boys, thanks Vlad. 203 00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:43,319 Speaker 2: Okay, there isn't much happening. 204 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,480 Speaker 1: So before we start to show, officially, Pete Hegzeth, because 205 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:51,160 Speaker 1: he's doing a press conference, just said the largest strike 206 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 1: package yet. 207 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 2: Is coming today in Iran. 208 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 1: So we're gonna hit Iran harder than we hit them, 209 00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:00,760 Speaker 1: and we hit them pretty damn hard, so gonna. 210 00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 2: Be quite a day. 211 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 1: Let's start the show officially.

Katie is not with 230 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 1: us for the moment, so we're going to run through 231 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:13,920 Speaker 1: some of the headlines that we've got today. I don't 232 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 1: know if this came up in Pete Hegsath's talk a 233 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 1: little bit ago, but the Pentagon is asking for two 234 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:24,880 Speaker 1: hundred billion more dollars for the war effort, which is 235 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,520 Speaker 1: going to get a lot of attention, and Mark Alpern 236 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,839 Speaker 1: writing about that headline that it is the fiscal equivalent 237 00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 1: of Harry and contractors say this renovation should only take 238 00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:34,320 Speaker 1: a few weeks. 239 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:40,560 Speaker 2: Wow. Yeah, that hit a little close to home. Yeah. 240 00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:44,360 Speaker 1: Indeed, Iranians are saying attacks by Israel and the US 241 00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:48,280 Speaker 1: are gaining intensity, moving louder and moving closer. A businessman 242 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:51,000 Speaker 1: in tron said, soon will be like Gaza. We won't 243 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:54,160 Speaker 1: have electricity or heat or food. We'll have to see 244 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 1: run by similar thinking fellas. By the way, I think 245 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 1: CBS first reported this yesterday, Now everybody is reporting it. 246 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 2: Joe Kent, the guy that left. 247 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:09,600 Speaker 1: The post of running the counter Terrorism Center and said 248 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:11,679 Speaker 1: that Israel pushed us into war and all that sort 249 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:17,080 Speaker 1: of stuff. That's how a Tucker Carlson star. He's under 250 00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:22,560 Speaker 1: investigation by the FBI for leaking classified information, multiple sources say. 251 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:27,240 Speaker 1: And this predated his departure, So it's possible that the 252 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:30,160 Speaker 1: FBI investigation about something he did that is full on 253 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:33,520 Speaker 1: traitorous and criminal had gotten pretty close and he decided 254 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:34,680 Speaker 1: to jump out as the hero. 255 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:36,280 Speaker 2: Yeah. 256 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:39,960 Speaker 1: And when Tulsea Gabbard was grilled about him and the 257 00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 1: intelligence assessment and her differences with the President, she gave 258 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:46,080 Speaker 1: non answers. We'll play that audio a little bit later on. 259 00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:47,520 Speaker 2: She did, though. 260 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:51,520 Speaker 1: At the hearing yesterday she told the Senate Intelligence Committee 261 00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:54,240 Speaker 1: that Iran was years away from developing missiles capable of 262 00:14:54,320 --> 00:15:00,400 Speaker 1: hitting the US, which contradicted statements recently from the Resident. 263 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:05,240 Speaker 1: So that should be interesting to see unfold. I don't 264 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:08,440 Speaker 1: I'm surprised Tulsey's lasted this long. I mean, she's like 265 00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:12,600 Speaker 1: never seen at critical moments in critical meetings or no. 266 00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:15,440 Speaker 1: I think Trump's play for a lot of this stuff 267 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:19,120 Speaker 1: is he puts people in charge of various things that 268 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:21,360 Speaker 1: help him politically, but he doesn't listen to him, So 269 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:23,320 Speaker 1: it doesn't make any difference to him that they're there. 270 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:24,120 Speaker 2: They just you know it. 271 00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:26,800 Speaker 1: You know you helped me get elected. I'll put you 272 00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:28,920 Speaker 1: in that position. Knock yourself out. I'm not going to 273 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:30,960 Speaker 1: be paying any attention to you, so it doesn't matter. 274 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:34,320 Speaker 1: Which has been the growing situation with our executive branch 275 00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:36,800 Speaker 1: for a long time that the President runs everything out 276 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 1: of his office with his close advisors and doesn't pay 277 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 1: attention to cabinet members. Yeah, feder Reserve held a rate 278 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:46,080 Speaker 1: steady for the second straight meeting. 279 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:48,200 Speaker 2: Blah blah blah, it's your own Powell blah blah blah. 280 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 1: Donald Trump, speaking of conflict to Pakistan, says it's going 281 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:58,720 Speaker 1: to pause air strikes against Afghanistan. And in Columbia bombed Ecuador. 282 00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:01,880 Speaker 1: Ecuador bombed Colombia. Here's something that's all over drug cartels 283 00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 1: and who's helping their cartels. And now the head of 284 00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:07,160 Speaker 1: Columbia is asking Donald Trump to get involved in that. 285 00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:11,960 Speaker 1: One LA Times headline, California's billionaire exodus is not limited 286 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:16,600 Speaker 1: to individuals, Wells Fargo announces it's relocating from San Francisco 287 00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:18,600 Speaker 1: to West Palm Beach by year's end. 288 00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:20,920 Speaker 2: LA Times. 289 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:22,800 Speaker 1: Good on you for pointing out that it's not just 290 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,400 Speaker 1: individual billionaires who are leaving, and they are lots of 291 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:28,320 Speaker 1: them because of the possibility of the weird old billionaire 292 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 1: attacks that people.

The 296 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:49,880 Speaker 1: says our chef as a rape story. Absolutely no one 297 00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:55,360 Speaker 1: is denying it.

What is this organization? 360 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:20,120 Speaker 2: Oh? 361 00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:23,480 Speaker 1: Well, actually I read a piece from Carl Rove who's 362 00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:30,880 Speaker 1: talking about the small but influential group of MAGA media 363 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:34,119 Speaker 1: figures who claim to speak for MAGA are are against 364 00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:40,040 Speaker 1: the war? Your Tucker canned yes, And the mainstream media 365 00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:44,320 Speaker 1: acts like they do speak for media for for Maga.

So it 369 00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:56,000 Speaker 1: does leave that impression with crowd that does know better. 370 00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:58,359 Speaker 1: Then these polls come out and you think, no, not 371 00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:01,560 Speaker 1: everybody's on board with Tucker, right right, And of course 372 00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:03,960 Speaker 1: the media is also rooting for America to fail because 373 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:07,120 Speaker 1: they hate their own country and if there's a Republican president, 374 00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:12,640 Speaker 1: they desire nothing more than that that person fail. Anyway, 375 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:15,399 Speaker 1: a bit from Roeve, then I'll get into the poll. 376 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:20,240 Speaker 1: I wanted to hit these podcasters, YouTubers and independent journalists 377 00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:22,840 Speaker 1: have decided President Trump's action or a betrayal of maggot. 378 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,480 Speaker 1: To them, he's an unwitting tool of the Israelis, or, 379 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,960 Speaker 1: as some on the neo isolationist rights say, the Jews. 380 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:33,920 Speaker 1: Today's Tuesday's resignation of Joe Kent as National counter Terrorism 381 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:36,880 Speaker 1: Center director will enthuse the blame it on the Jews chorus, 382 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:39,879 Speaker 1: mister Kent, blame the pressure from Israel, the powerful American lobby. 383 00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,760 Speaker 2: We all we went through that. Joe Kent is so 384 00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:45,280 Speaker 2: incredibly full of crap. It is it is. 385 00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:50,760 Speaker 1: I mean, by by the standard of people who are regularly. 386 00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:53,920 Speaker 2: Full of crap, he stands out. It's amazing. 387 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:58,680 Speaker 1: As people of unearthed old comments that he's made and 388 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,000 Speaker 1: tweets that he put out and all that sort of 389 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:06,679 Speaker 1: thing over the years, back in twenty twenty when he 390 00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:09,560 Speaker 1: was a maga guy. Israel has been at war with 391 00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:12,879 Speaker 1: us since nineteen seventy nine. When are we gonna wake up? 392 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,200 Speaker 1: Now he's a there's no women a threat. Why would 393 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:16,000 Speaker 1: we go to war with Iran? 394 00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:16,520 Speaker 2: Oh? 395 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:18,560 Speaker 1: Iran has been at war with us since What did 396 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:19,639 Speaker 1: I say Israel? 397 00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:19,879 Speaker 2: I did? 398 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:21,440 Speaker 1: Well, it's not what I was confusing. I don't know 399 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:22,960 Speaker 1: why I said that, because I thought what it says 400 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:26,399 Speaker 1: here Iran. You're working with Tucker Carlson. Now, Iran has 401 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 1: been at war with us since nineteen seventy nine. Okay, 402 00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:33,240 Speaker 1: now you're what was the reason for going to war 403 00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:35,520 Speaker 1: with Iran? They're not doing anything to us, all right, 404 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:39,200 Speaker 1: shut up, go away. Much other criticism of Operation Epic 405 00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:42,040 Speaker 1: Fury comes from the likes of the Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes, 406 00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:45,399 Speaker 1: the Israel obsessed podcaster, Tucker Carlson, and Megan Kelly who's 407 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:49,600 Speaker 1: lost her mind and the conspiracy, but bought a new car, 408 00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 1: probably bought like a brand of car. If you bought 409 00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:57,760 Speaker 1: Ford with the money they're making. Yeah, if you weren't 410 00:22:57,760 --> 00:22:59,679 Speaker 1: listening a couple of weeks ago when Joe went through 411 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:02,440 Speaker 1: the economics of Tucker and Candae and some of the 412 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:05,960 Speaker 1: people and how many viewers or listeners they have the 413 00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:10,560 Speaker 1: printing money. So you've got a survey from the Vandenberg Coalition, 414 00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:17,080 Speaker 1: which is a nonpartisan group which undeniably supports robust foreign policy. 415 00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:21,160 Speaker 2: But they pold twelve. 416 00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:24,720 Speaker 1: Hundred and thirty two self described Trump voters between March 417 00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,919 Speaker 1: third and fifth, after the hostilities had begun in the 418 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:31,200 Speaker 1: first American casualties were known. These numbers could have changed 419 00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:34,439 Speaker 1: in the interim, but it's a pretty useful snapshot. 420 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:36,240 Speaker 2: Of the sample. 421 00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:40,280 Speaker 1: Roughly thirty four percent or self identified MAGA Trump Conservatives, 422 00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:44,119 Speaker 1: about a third thirty percent call themselves moderate Republicans, twenty 423 00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:47,520 Speaker 1: four percent traditional conservatives, five percent libertarians, and seven percent 424 00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:50,560 Speaker 1: other So it's a pretty good sampling of Trump voters. 425 00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:54,320 Speaker 1: First survey asked about approval of mister Trump's decision authorized 426 00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:57,200 Speaker 1: military action against Iran for the goals of one preventing 427 00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:01,359 Speaker 1: around from acquiring a nuclear weapon, two destroying Iran's missile 428 00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:05,639 Speaker 1: arsenal and production sites, and three degrading Iran's terrorist proxy 429 00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:10,159 Speaker 1: networks and for annihilating the Uranian naval threat. Approval was 430 00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:13,840 Speaker 1: eighty four percent among all respondents. It was ninety four 431 00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:17,560 Speaker 1: percent among self described Maggi conservatives, eighty four percent among 432 00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:21,800 Speaker 1: traditional conservatives, eighty percent again among moderates, and seventy four 433 00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:27,480 Speaker 1: percent among so called libertarians. Let's see poll asked if 434 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,920 Speaker 1: Trump voters felt that eliminating nearly fifty of Iran's terrorist leaders, 435 00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,320 Speaker 1: many of whom are responsible for American deaths in the past, 436 00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 1: it made the US safe or less safe. Respondents broke 437 00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:40,560 Speaker 1: sixty nine percent safer to sixteen percent less safe. Among 438 00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:46,080 Speaker 1: Maggi conservatives eighty three percent sets safer, trad conservatives sixty eight, moderates, 439 00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:48,159 Speaker 1: sixty six libertarians fifty percent. 440 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:51,000 Speaker 2: You know this issues. 441 00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:54,560 Speaker 1: Polling is incredibly easily manipulated, as we've discussed many, many times. 442 00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:59,760 Speaker 1: But if all it takes to quote unquote manipulate it 443 00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:03,840 Speaker 1: is remind people or inform them of the rationale for 444 00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:12,520 Speaker 1: doing something. That's not much manipulation, right, am, I in 445 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:16,000 Speaker 1: favor of my wife getting stabbed by a needle. No, 446 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:21,480 Speaker 1: a needle that has you know, anti viral medicine that 447 00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:22,080 Speaker 1: will help her. 448 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:27,320 Speaker 2: Get over the flu more quickly. Yes, so who knows, 449 00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:32,280 Speaker 2: we'll have to say flip flop. Oh. 450 00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:35,240 Speaker 1: I'm told that we will not go into a recession 451 00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:38,840 Speaker 1: because of this war unless oil reaches one hundred and 452 00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:42,159 Speaker 1: thirty eight dollars a barrel and stays there for several weeks. 453 00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:44,800 Speaker 1: One thirty eight is the magic number for some reason. Okay, well, 454 00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,720 Speaker 1: that's worth keeping our right. I think it's one fifteen 455 00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:50,880 Speaker 1: ish or something today. That's your Brent crude jack, which 456 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:52,720 Speaker 1: is your your benchmark. 457 00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:53,239 Speaker 2: As you know. 458 00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:56,000 Speaker 1: I am so glad that I bought all those barrels 459 00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:59,080 Speaker 1: of crude oil last winter, and I've got them in 460 00:25:59,080 --> 00:25:59,720 Speaker 1: my garage. 461 00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:03,240 Speaker 2: Oh my god, No, you gotta keep them refrigerated, don't you. 462 00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:05,960 Speaker 2: I just have him sitting in the corner of the 463 00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:09,479 Speaker 2: garage that's not a firehead. 464 00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:11,800 Speaker 1: I plan to refine them sometime when I get around 465 00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 1: to it. I chat gpt'd how do you refine crude oil? 466 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:18,960 Speaker 1: And it was kind of complicated, so I put it 467 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,600 Speaker 1: aside for now. But I'll get to it this weekend. 468 00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:23,840 Speaker 5: I might be a little nervous as far as your 469 00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:26,520 Speaker 5: neighbor when you go to refine those things probably gonna 470 00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:29,080 Speaker 5: smell it too.

Well, I bought it at 473 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:38,680 Speaker 5: sixty dollars a barrel, so I made it killing. 474 00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:41,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, let's see. 475 00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:45,000 Speaker 1: I'm going through the cutter of the oil field or 476 00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:48,520 Speaker 1: the liquified National Gas facility.

I have 478 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:54,320 Speaker 1: to walk around them to get into bed myself. Got 479 00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:57,760 Speaker 1: one in the shower. That flame you have over your 480 00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:00,240 Speaker 1: garage to burn off the gas, it's keeping the hits 481 00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:02,080 Speaker 1: up at night. Any chance you could, I don't know, 482 00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:05,000 Speaker 1: put a shade on that or something. Then you got 483 00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:10,160 Speaker 1: to Kuwaits National Petroleum Company reported two refineries were targeted 484 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:13,719 Speaker 1: by drones. Saudist Ministry of Defense that it was as 485 00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:17,080 Speaker 1: assessing damage after a drone strike at one of their 486 00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:20,240 Speaker 1: big refineries. Well again, in case you're not paying attention, 487 00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:23,720 Speaker 1: yesterday was the biggest escalation of the war since it 488 00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:28,400 Speaker 1: started as and the question is, so is it on 489 00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:32,400 Speaker 1: is attacking the oil fields the gas fields now part 490 00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:34,960 Speaker 1: of the deal. We just have all decided that and 491 00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:38,000 Speaker 1: that's going to continue going forward or not? Or do 492 00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:41,440 Speaker 1: all sides say whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. This probably isn't 493 00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:44,080 Speaker 1: something that should happen. The problem is you've got a 494 00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:50,199 Speaker 1: caged beast the IRGC leadership. They are a desperate animal 495 00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:52,600 Speaker 1: backed into a corner. God knows what they'll do, but 496 00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:55,800 Speaker 1: if it's you know, we got to take out their 497 00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:58,200 Speaker 1: infrastructure to get them to fall. We thought they we 498 00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:00,159 Speaker 1: thought we could get them to fall without that, But 499 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:02,639 Speaker 1: now we're gonna That's one of the I'm going to 500 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:05,879 Speaker 1: get to this next hour. But one of the proposals 501 00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:09,160 Speaker 1: being banded about, apparently the White House is taking carg 502 00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:11,800 Speaker 1: Island one way or the other, either destroying it or 503 00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:16,440 Speaker 1: somehow taking it by force, to completely eliminate Iran's ability 504 00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:20,200 Speaker 1: to have any control over that. That's where they that's 505 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:25,000 Speaker 1: where their whole old oil industry comes out of. Wow, 506 00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:27,640 Speaker 1: So we'll be at a different phase in the war then, 507 00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:32,520 Speaker 1: and Iran will retaliate the way they did yesterday, striking 508 00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:35,560 Speaker 1: the world's largest natural gas field right there in Qatar, 509 00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:37,720 Speaker 1: which might bring the Arabs into the war. As we 510 00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:42,000 Speaker 1: said that could happen today, that'll be exciting, Yeah, indeed, 511 00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:46,040 Speaker 1: And I find myself wondering, all right, who's the leadership 512 00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:49,640 Speaker 1: who's escalating and calling for the strikes and running things 513 00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:51,959 Speaker 1: in Oran right now? And where are they? Which reminds 514 00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,480 Speaker 1: me of you referenced this yesterday. But I was digging 515 00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:58,640 Speaker 1: into all the various places, people and places that had 516 00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:01,640 Speaker 1: been targeted by the Israel's allegedly and it's probably true, 517 00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:05,040 Speaker 1: and how there's just nowhere they can hide. Well, the 518 00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:08,959 Speaker 1: gay Iyahtola so weird, Beard Jr. There was a report 519 00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:11,800 Speaker 1: on Fox that they said they couldn't verify, but they 520 00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:17,720 Speaker 1: didn't have a reporter say that he is footless, anesthetize loose, 521 00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:21,960 Speaker 1: you say, not footloose, footless and he gets blowed off. 522 00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:28,080 Speaker 1: He's under enough anesthesia to because of the pain, and 523 00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:30,200 Speaker 1: he's in a bad shape that he doesn't even know 524 00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:33,200 Speaker 1: he's the UH Supreme Leader at this point, and he's 525 00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:37,560 Speaker 1: in and he's in Russia. Russia got him out of there, 526 00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:39,120 Speaker 1: sent some planes and got him out of there. That's 527 00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:42,120 Speaker 1: only being reported by one place on Fox and they 528 00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:45,040 Speaker 1: haven't verified it, but that might be. They might have 529 00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,640 Speaker 1: had to get him out of there. That's probably your 530 00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:51,840 Speaker 1: only hope it's staying alive, all right, And with the 531 00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:53,880 Speaker 1: thinking that they could calm it down a little then 532 00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:56,960 Speaker 1: he comes back, that probably is probably is a pretty 533 00:29:56,960 --> 00:30:00,720 Speaker 1: good plan, of course, at for Russia's high I don't 534 00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:02,680 Speaker 1: know where that puts things between US and Russia. 535 00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:09,680 Speaker 2: I guess we'll probably pretend it didn't happen. Yeah, right, wow. 536 00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:12,400 Speaker 1: I normally have some sense of where things are going, 537 00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:14,800 Speaker 1: I know, wide open. So what I was talking about earlier, 538 00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:17,520 Speaker 1: I just have this feeling like this is it might 539 00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:19,800 Speaker 1: be on the verge of spinning completely out of control, 540 00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:21,240 Speaker 1: and who the hell knows where's going? 541 00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:22,120 Speaker 2: Well? 542 00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:25,200 Speaker 1: Right, what's well? See, this gets back to World War two. 543 00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:27,000 Speaker 1: I was gonna or World War One. Rather, I was 544 00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:29,880 Speaker 1: gonna ask what are the boundaries of how far it 545 00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:32,520 Speaker 1: can spin out of control? But that's the point you 546 00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:36,680 Speaker 1: think you know them? Yeah, and then all of a sudden, 547 00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:40,960 Speaker 1: for reasons unforeseen, you know, right, Oh, we got mail 548 00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:42,640 Speaker 1: bag on the way and lots of stuff to talk about. 549 00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:52,760 Speaker 2: Stay here waiting for the games to kick off. 550 00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:56,720 Speaker 1: Nine Eastern I think the games start today sixty four 551 00:30:56,760 --> 00:31:02,360 Speaker 1: from March Madness gambling all becoming gambling adds very nice. 552 00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:03,160 Speaker 2: Wow. 553 00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:06,400 Speaker 1: I did watch one second of college basketball this year. 554 00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:08,000 Speaker 1: That's why I think this is the year. I'm going 555 00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:11,080 Speaker 1: to do very very well. It's judging by what I've 556 00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:13,640 Speaker 1: observed through the years. You're right, here's your freedom living 557 00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:16,040 Speaker 1: quote of the day. Continuing our series about war, you 558 00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:20,080 Speaker 1: got to quote old songsu don't you The Art of War? 559 00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:22,440 Speaker 2: Baby? It's like the Art of the Deal, but with war. 560 00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:25,560 Speaker 2: Many people say it's the best book about war. 561 00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:30,840 Speaker 1: Victorious warriors win first and then go to war. Well, 562 00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:33,640 Speaker 1: defeated warriors go to war first, then seek to win. 563 00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:41,400 Speaker 1: His whole thing was preparation. Yeah, knowing your enemy, understanding 564 00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:42,080 Speaker 1: your goals. 565 00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:44,520 Speaker 2: Mail back. 566 00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:49,760 Speaker 1: I have set aside several emails on the Sage arch 567 00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:52,080 Speaker 1: of az thing because I think they would take too 568 00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:54,440 Speaker 1: long and we need to devote a little bit of 569 00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:55,040 Speaker 1: time to that. 570 00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:59,320 Speaker 2: What's going on? Why now? Let's see? 571 00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:02,160 Speaker 1: Oh I love this from Zabo Oh drop us a 572 00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:04,160 Speaker 1: note mail bag at Armstrong and Getty dot com. 573 00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:06,040 Speaker 2: Regarding Punch the Monkey and his girlfriend Momo. 574 00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:09,360 Speaker 1: This is a classic scenario of a rescue fantasy are 575 00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:12,240 Speaker 1: sometimes referred to as to as the savior complex. 576 00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:12,920 Speaker 2: And psychological terms. 577 00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:15,880 Speaker 1: It's when someone, often a woman, believes she can fix 578 00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:18,280 Speaker 1: or save a man, especially if he is struggling with 579 00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:21,560 Speaker 1: issues like trauma. While the urge to help is often 580 00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:24,720 Speaker 1: well intension, believing she can with love, repair the brokenness 581 00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:26,560 Speaker 1: of her mate, many times this turns out badly. 582 00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:29,600 Speaker 2: This works both ways, of course, of course it does. 583 00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:32,920 Speaker 1: Another dynamic is that Momo is a much older woman 584 00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:36,280 Speaker 1: than Punch the Monkey. Whether she has true motherly love 585 00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:38,280 Speaker 1: for the battered Punch or she just wants to groom 586 00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:42,520 Speaker 1: him to be her young boy toy, only time will tell. Man, 587 00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:44,800 Speaker 1: If you haven't seen the videos the way Punched the 588 00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:49,400 Speaker 1: Monkey got treated by his group before he was off 589 00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:53,000 Speaker 1: in the corner alone and was handed a doll to 590 00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:57,080 Speaker 1: play with. It's brutal. The animal kingdom is brutal. Mother 591 00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:02,480 Speaker 1: nature is a cruel biauch. Indeed, yes, final final thought 592 00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:06,440 Speaker 1: from Zabo here, it's possible she will eventually dump poor 593 00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:08,560 Speaker 1: Punch for another young snow monkey. 594 00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:12,760 Speaker 2: Wow. Okay, what happened? Let's see Do we have time 595 00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:13,760 Speaker 2: for this? Yeah? I guess so. 596 00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:18,680 Speaker 1: On the topic of Joe, Kent JT and Livermore sends 597 00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:21,080 Speaker 1: along an article about the interview with Tucker, which you 598 00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:24,720 Speaker 1: saw a good chunk of. I guess I'm torn between 599 00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:27,280 Speaker 1: two pictures of what this guy's deal is. One a 600 00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:29,880 Speaker 1: simple anti Semite, or two a guy that thinks his 601 00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:33,040 Speaker 1: expertise in one area makes him a genius in every area. 602 00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:34,720 Speaker 1: Either way it is, Corey appears to be one of 603 00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:36,680 Speaker 1: those morons who doesn't realize he's a moron. 604 00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:38,880 Speaker 2: In fact, he appears to be a megalomaniac. 605 00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:41,680 Speaker 1: He actually seems butt hurt that his isolationist anti Semitic 606 00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:44,680 Speaker 1: advice wasn't sought out before the Iran War. I don't 607 00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:47,080 Speaker 1: I don't know. He could be an anti Semite, but 608 00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:49,160 Speaker 1: I don't know that that's it. He's been so all 609 00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:51,239 Speaker 1: over the place over the years. I think he's just 610 00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:55,720 Speaker 1: a half a grifter, wants to be with the cool kids, 611 00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:56,960 Speaker 1: half a nut job. 612 00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:01,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, there's more to this. Maybe we'll follow up 613 00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:02,520 Speaker 2: a little bit later. 614 00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:05,720 Speaker 1: Palello writes, Guys, don't we have to assume that going 615 00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:09,000 Speaker 1: after Iron's leadership will compromise their ability to make sound decisions. 616 00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:11,440 Speaker 1: They're already doing stuff that seems likely not even to 617 00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:14,360 Speaker 1: be in their own best interests. Usually, taking down regimes 618 00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:17,480 Speaker 1: are replaced with worst leadership before the dust settles. What 619 00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:19,520 Speaker 1: if it happens while the fight is in progress? Who 620 00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:21,879 Speaker 1: knows what desperate, ill advised stuff they might do. Glad 621 00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:25,160 Speaker 1: they don't have nukes yet. I hope No, they don't, 622 00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:32,200 Speaker 1: absolutely do not. Let's see slip past this one. Is 623 00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:34,120 Speaker 1: he going to take boots on the ground to grab 624 00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:40,040 Speaker 1: that plutonium wherever it is? Excellent point. Yeah, that's one 625 00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:43,800 Speaker 1: of two big question marks looming over the current battle 626 00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:47,840 Speaker 1: that we'll get to next hour if we can. Let's 627 00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:51,759 Speaker 1: see somebody commenting on the junkies getting five dollars per 628 00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:59,000 Speaker 1: signature for a rigged up Cowl Unicornia election. Fergin Chattanoogas 629 00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:02,600 Speaker 1: says in Seattle, five dollars get you five fenny tablets, 630 00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:07,239 Speaker 1: not coffee. Yes, fentanyl is only a buck. I hit jack, 631 00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:08,680 Speaker 1: you were mentioning that five bucks. 632 00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:10,800 Speaker 2: What's that? It can barely get you a cup of coffee. 633 00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:15,000 Speaker 2: Fentanyl's so cheap. Now I'll get you high for three days. Wow, 634 00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:18,440 Speaker 2: that's unbelievable. It is. 635 00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:23,040 Speaker 1: Finally this congratulations to the US for hitting thirty nine 636 00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:26,400 Speaker 1: trillion dollars in debt, writes just Steve, and a path 637 00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:28,719 Speaker 1: toward fifty trillion by the end of Trump's second term. 638 00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:32,359 Speaker 1: Weirned it anyway. Oh and two Yeah, the world's most 639 00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:33,480 Speaker 1: predictable disaster. 640 00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:36,480 Speaker 2: What plans are they banding about in the White House? 641 00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:37,440 Speaker 2: Among other things to come. 642 00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:41,680 Speaker 1: If you miss a segment, get the podcast Armstrong and 643 00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:42,120 Speaker 1: Getty
