See 0:00:29.120 --> 0:00:33.479 Sometimes sometimes the bison of life flips you in the 0:00:33.479 --> 0:00:36.800 air and you land on your head. Sometimes the soccer 0:00:36.840 --> 0:00:38.400 ball of life hits you in the head and goes 0:00:38.479 --> 0:00:39.760 right in the goal and you move on to the 0:00:39.800 --> 0:00:40.400 next match. 0:00:41.280 --> 0:00:42.319 That's the way life is. 0:00:44.479 --> 0:00:46.519 This week, which is going to be You don't know 0:00:46.600 --> 0:00:50.680 how y'all doing. Deep within the bowels of the Armstrong 0:00:50.720 --> 0:00:54.400 and Getty Communications Compound and today toiling Under the title 0:00:54.440 --> 0:00:57.680 of the show well Bless his Soul, Lindsey Graham's death 0:00:57.720 --> 0:01:01.680 is a Loss for Freedom or alternate title frost bitten 0:01:01.840 --> 0:01:04.080 wounded by attacks from both bears and moose. 0:01:04.319 --> 0:01:10.399 Joe Getty returns from Alaska. There you go, people will 0:01:10.440 --> 0:01:13.520 be happy. Oh my god, I was beset by I 0:01:13.560 --> 0:01:15.319 was running from a bear when I was gored by 0:01:15.319 --> 0:01:18.839 the moose. It was a bad day where fang it 0:01:18.880 --> 0:01:21.759 tossed me into the water where I nearly escape being 0:01:21.800 --> 0:01:23.720 eaten by an orca. It was a long day that 0:01:23.800 --> 0:01:26.840 guy's okay, who landed on his head? Uh? He landed 0:01:26.840 --> 0:01:28.480 on his arse. As a matter of fact, Oh, it 0:01:28.520 --> 0:01:30.480 looked like he landed on his head. Now. As I 0:01:30.520 --> 0:01:34.760 watched him flipping, I thought, oh, oh arse, excellent. Good. Yeah, 0:01:34.840 --> 0:01:37.000 I mean at his age, that makes all the difference 0:01:37.040 --> 0:01:41.560 in the world. Yeah, I think anybody's gone ass over 0:01:41.640 --> 0:01:45.479 tea kettle, whether you know, be set by bison, motorcyclerecs, 0:01:45.520 --> 0:01:48.840 sports whatever. As you're flipping around in the air, you're thinking, 0:01:48.840 --> 0:01:51.120 oh boy, I hope I don't land oh on my head? 0:01:51.320 --> 0:01:56.720 Oh not good, I am. I tweeted out a picture 0:01:56.760 --> 0:01:57.440 of a buffalo. 0:01:57.480 --> 0:02:00.360 We are that close to it, somewhere in South Coder, 0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:02.520 Montana or something like that summer before last. 0:02:03.280 --> 0:02:05.360 You think you're far enough away they're not going to 0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:05.920 run in. 0:02:06.040 --> 0:02:07.840 If they did, you could scurry off. 0:02:07.880 --> 0:02:13.680 But apparently not. Well, old Granddad, the flippy, not the whiskey. 0:02:13.960 --> 0:02:17.360 Old Granddad was not violating any of the guidelines because 0:02:17.400 --> 0:02:20.160 he was They say, be twenty five yards away. He 0:02:20.240 --> 0:02:21.560 seemed to be solid. 0:02:22.040 --> 0:02:25.200 I think so the guidelines there are guidelines for how 0:02:25.240 --> 0:02:27.000 far away you're supposed to be from a buffalo, are 0:02:27.240 --> 0:02:32.040 absolutely Apparently they're wrong. Apparently those guidelines need to be updated. 0:02:32.520 --> 0:02:38.320 Well, there are guidelines. Hilarious. Listen to the safety extremist, Michael, 0:02:38.560 --> 0:02:42.280 we're dealing with a millennial here. You want a world 0:02:42.320 --> 0:02:47.120 where you view buffalo from bison more properly from miles away, 0:02:47.200 --> 0:02:50.520 to make sure everybody's safe. Safety fuzz. He worships safety. 0:02:50.800 --> 0:02:53.600 I say, you commune with the beasts. Occasionally you get flipped. 0:02:53.560 --> 0:03:00.120 Do you worship guidelines from bureaucrats? La, it's on. I've 0:03:00.120 --> 0:03:04.720 been here for three minutes at already, he's at my throat. Hilarious, vicious. 0:03:04.960 --> 0:03:07.880 I didn't take long. Yeah, up, take those guidelines. If 0:03:07.880 --> 0:03:12.040 you're gonna have guidelines, apparently, no fifty million times that. 0:03:12.160 --> 0:03:15.400 If Grandpa gets flipped, I've never even heard of guidelines 0:03:15.400 --> 0:03:16.800 for this, I would ignore them. 0:03:16.840 --> 0:03:17.760 If I had heard them. 0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:20.040 I will get as close as I feel like getting 0:03:20.080 --> 0:03:22.360 on any given situation, looking at the buffalo and seeing 0:03:22.360 --> 0:03:26.079 how agitated he seems. This one seems fairly seemed fairly agitated, 0:03:26.120 --> 0:03:28.000 though the one I looked at them close was just 0:03:28.080 --> 0:03:32.280 laying there chewing its grass. This one looked wound up 0:03:32.320 --> 0:03:35.560 about something. Yeah, needed a girlfriend. 0:03:35.600 --> 0:03:38.680 Maybe that was it. That's exactly it. It's buffalo sexy 0:03:38.680 --> 0:03:39.320 time right now. 0:03:39.440 --> 0:03:41.560 Oh man, if you really need a girlfriend, the last 0:03:41.560 --> 0:03:43.200 thing you need is some old band staring at you. 0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:44.400 I've been the same way. 0:03:46.640 --> 0:03:48.640 What are you looking at you're really wanting someone, there's 0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:50.680 some old band staring at you taking pictures. 0:03:51.040 --> 0:03:53.240 You to worry for me, I'll chase you through the trees. 0:03:53.760 --> 0:03:56.080 I'm going to roll around in industrial ound trying to 0:03:56.120 --> 0:03:58.200 calm down. But if you were still looking at me, 0:03:58.240 --> 0:04:00.240 would not get up. I'll tell you what to be, 0:04:00.320 --> 0:04:00.720 old brot. 0:04:00.800 --> 0:04:03.040 Do you think these little trees is gonna work what. 0:04:05.160 --> 0:04:08.880 You need? That's what you need. Oh crappy landed on 0:04:08.920 --> 0:04:11.960 his butt. Boy, the things as big as a box car, 0:04:12.040 --> 0:04:16.120 though Agilus can be whoo. That's got to be a 0:04:16.120 --> 0:04:19.360 bad feeling. You got a bison chasing you. I bet 0:04:19.360 --> 0:04:21.480 that old man had moved that fast in twenty five 0:04:21.560 --> 0:04:24.039 years all but he hadn't either. He was a fat 0:04:24.080 --> 0:04:24.480 guy too. 0:04:24.960 --> 0:04:28.560 Yeah, old and fat has no situation for fighting a bison. 0:04:28.960 --> 0:04:32.240 Long beard flapping in the wind, Where were we all? 0:04:32.400 --> 0:04:33.800 Lindsey Graham, God bless him. 0:04:33.720 --> 0:04:35.960 So we're certain that he did not die at the 0:04:36.000 --> 0:04:37.960 hands of Ladimir Putin at this point. 0:04:38.480 --> 0:04:43.240 Well, it's possible of Ladd Putin, insidious monster that he is, 0:04:43.360 --> 0:04:47.719 had some sort of clever device inserted in Lindsey Graham's 0:04:47.720 --> 0:04:51.640 They ordered to dissect it, but it seems unlikely. I've 0:04:51.640 --> 0:04:54.880 shared this with the crew of via text. Over the weekend, 0:04:54.880 --> 0:05:00.000 my neighbor had precisely that same thing happened and they 0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:04.320 barely got into his house and saved him. 0:05:04.920 --> 0:05:08.159 Yeah, it does make it less likely. Although I was 0:05:08.160 --> 0:05:11.640 surprised by just tweeting out, you know, did Putin do it? 0:05:11.680 --> 0:05:14.200 The number of people who thought that was tinfoil hat stuff? 0:05:14.279 --> 0:05:15.599 Are you crazy? 0:05:16.520 --> 0:05:20.880 There's documented evidence of Putin killing lots of people. 0:05:21.400 --> 0:05:22.279 Yeah, and. 0:05:23.960 --> 0:05:28.160 There's hardly a bigger opponent on earth outside of maybe Zelensky. 0:05:28.400 --> 0:05:28.599 Man. 0:05:29.000 --> 0:05:31.800 It's possible Lindsay Gram was more important than Zelensky in 0:05:31.839 --> 0:05:34.520 terms of who Putin would want to get rid of, 0:05:35.480 --> 0:05:38.920 as Lindsey Graham was definitely the most powerful person in government, 0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:43.040 advocating for the United States to take on Ukraine at 0:05:43.040 --> 0:05:46.320 the highest level and had the presidents here, right, So 0:05:46.520 --> 0:05:49.080 it's not at all tinfoil hat stuff to think Putin 0:05:49.080 --> 0:05:51.200 would want to poison him or get something sort of 0:05:51.200 --> 0:05:52.520 nerve agent in him or something like that. 0:05:52.600 --> 0:05:54.960 But look, if he had died mysteriously and said I 0:05:55.000 --> 0:05:57.680 can't see, I can't see, and then drop dead, well 0:05:57.720 --> 0:05:58.760 then yeah. 0:05:58.360 --> 0:06:02.720 Well his his PR people didn't help with their why 0:06:02.760 --> 0:06:04.640 didn't you put out he had a massive heart attack 0:06:04.720 --> 0:06:07.240 or whatever you'd call it, as opposed to after a 0:06:07.279 --> 0:06:11.320 short illness he died unexpectedly. Okay, that's just like setting 0:06:11.440 --> 0:06:14.600 up the world for wondering what the heck got a 0:06:14.640 --> 0:06:15.880 short illness. 0:06:15.920 --> 0:06:19.320 A brief and sudden illness. He was a auditor, he 0:06:19.480 --> 0:06:22.000 was talking at a podium like an hour ago. So 0:06:22.080 --> 0:06:24.160 this looks pretty weird. Yeah, so when we found out 0:06:24.160 --> 0:06:27.960 what actually happened, it was a little bit different. I 0:06:28.000 --> 0:06:30.200 was reminded of how the modern world works. Though, in 0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:33.839 the immediate aftermath of the announcement of his passing, I 0:06:33.960 --> 0:06:35.960 jumped on the Twitter for the first time in a 0:06:36.000 --> 0:06:38.880 couple of weeks, which was refreshing at the break, not 0:06:39.080 --> 0:06:42.800 going back to it, and was immediately struck by how 0:06:42.920 --> 0:06:48.440 many grifters were trying to sell their particular twisted conspiracy 0:06:48.480 --> 0:06:51.120 theory of how he died, and how that's such a 0:06:51.120 --> 0:06:53.600 fertile field. Now you got to get your grift out there. 0:06:53.920 --> 0:06:58.280 You got to get your framework out there, and of 0:06:58.320 --> 0:07:00.440 course half of them ended up with you know, it 0:07:00.480 --> 0:07:03.119 was the Jews for some reason, of course, But yeah, 0:07:03.240 --> 0:07:06.320 that's that's such a fertile business these days, it's such 0:07:06.320 --> 0:07:07.279 a profitable business. 0:07:07.640 --> 0:07:10.320 Lindsey Graham only nine years and seven months older than me, 0:07:11.400 --> 0:07:14.760 so I got my attention. But when I found out 0:07:14.800 --> 0:07:17.960 that his dad had died heart blew up on him 0:07:18.160 --> 0:07:21.640 also at age sixty nine, I thought, oh, okay, that 0:07:21.720 --> 0:07:23.440 also makes it seem more likely. 0:07:23.560 --> 0:07:25.480 Just one of those things I've. 0:07:25.320 --> 0:07:28.400 Had a cardiologist to say to me personally, and I 0:07:28.400 --> 0:07:31.000 didn't appreciate it at the time. Joe. Often the first 0:07:31.080 --> 0:07:33.280 sign of heart disease is sudden mortality. 0:07:34.240 --> 0:07:36.120 That was something I was watching one of the speeches 0:07:36.200 --> 0:07:38.000 that Lindsay gave. 0:07:38.480 --> 0:07:40.400 Late what they did. 0:07:40.440 --> 0:07:44.600 He die Saturday night, late Saturday afternoon, and I thought, 0:07:44.880 --> 0:07:45.720 it's incredible. 0:07:45.800 --> 0:07:48.160 This guy has just only got like three hours to 0:07:48.240 --> 0:07:50.080 live watching this speech. 0:07:50.760 --> 0:07:55.840 Yeah, wild, it really could be a world history changing 0:07:56.320 --> 0:08:01.000 a orda explosion. Though Lindsey Graham was the hawk of 0:08:01.080 --> 0:08:05.200 hawks on Irand and Ukraine and had the ear of 0:08:05.200 --> 0:08:07.640 the president more than anybody on planet Earth. 0:08:08.120 --> 0:08:11.000 Though really really did I believe they're good friends. 0:08:11.280 --> 0:08:14.680 Those two things could add up to history change and 0:08:14.760 --> 0:08:16.840 sort of death there because there's not going to be 0:08:16.880 --> 0:08:19.640 another advocate that has the president's ear that way. 0:08:20.120 --> 0:08:22.360 Yeah, I wonder boy. I hope that's not the case, 0:08:22.400 --> 0:08:26.240 but it sure could be. Now. I'll elaborate on the 0:08:26.280 --> 0:08:29.560 following point later, but here's the brief version. You're seeing 0:08:29.840 --> 0:08:34.199 commentary from various quarters, including some of the rotten pieces 0:08:34.200 --> 0:08:38.080 of crap at the Lincoln Project and others. They are 0:08:38.240 --> 0:08:40.880 rotten pieces of crap, Yeah, they really are. They're awful 0:08:40.920 --> 0:08:44.040 human beings. They're bad Americans. They're bad humans. Ah. I 0:08:44.080 --> 0:08:49.040 said that twice. The analysis being Lindsey Graham, who initially 0:08:49.080 --> 0:08:53.120 criticized Trump harshly later aligned with him, showing he's a 0:08:53.240 --> 0:08:57.640 hypocrite and he became a sycophant. That's some good, stupid 0:08:57.720 --> 0:09:01.360 analysis from evil people. And if if you're stupid, enjoy 0:09:01.440 --> 0:09:06.319 that stupid, stupid analysis. Here's an alternate analysis. He kept 0:09:06.360 --> 0:09:10.080 his eyes on what mattered, He kept his eyes on 0:09:10.120 --> 0:09:12.960 the policies he cared about, and thought, damn, I gotta 0:09:13.000 --> 0:09:15.280 work with Trump now. But we've got to do what's 0:09:15.360 --> 0:09:17.520 right for America. So I gotta work with Trump best 0:09:17.559 --> 0:09:20.079 I can. There you go, oh boy? 0:09:20.240 --> 0:09:25.480 And did he influence the government the direction he wanted? Absolutely? 0:09:26.040 --> 0:09:28.560 Oh my gosh. He hadn't been in office, he wouldn't 0:09:28.559 --> 0:09:29.160 have been able to. 0:09:29.480 --> 0:09:32.640 So if you'd taken his toys and stomped off, gone home, 0:09:33.160 --> 0:09:35.240 that's a tough one, bok. Not everybody can do that. 0:09:35.520 --> 0:09:37.480 I wouldn't be able to just Okay, I'm gonna make 0:09:37.480 --> 0:09:38.720 friends with this person I hate. 0:09:38.880 --> 0:09:41.920 I don't have that in me. But yeah, if you. 0:09:41.840 --> 0:09:44.040 Want to accomplish things in politics, you need to have 0:09:44.080 --> 0:09:44.440 that in you. 0:09:44.880 --> 0:09:46.640 A couple of things that really struck me on that 0:09:47.360 --> 0:09:49.360 topic about Lindsey Graham was number one. He was a 0:09:49.400 --> 0:09:52.960 lot like me. I can't remember who's saying this, but 0:09:53.640 --> 0:09:57.320 oh Tim Scott said this. He is gay fellow senator 0:09:57.400 --> 0:10:03.120 from from South Carolina who said Lindsey just didn't hold grudges. 0:10:03.160 --> 0:10:05.280 He couldn't remember who he was supposed to be mad at, 0:10:05.520 --> 0:10:09.199 and he liked people, so he figured, oh, we'll work together, 0:10:09.280 --> 0:10:11.959 we'll find a way. He was just a sweet human 0:10:12.040 --> 0:10:14.600 being in that way. And I don't mean gay, I 0:10:14.640 --> 0:10:19.480 mean pleasant, you idiot. And the other thing was on Twitter, 0:10:19.520 --> 0:10:21.640 the part that didn't make me want to vomit immediately 0:10:21.679 --> 0:10:26.320 and smash my smartphone with a hammer. Was Several people 0:10:26.400 --> 0:10:29.360 came up and said I had a bitter disagreement with him. 0:10:29.720 --> 0:10:32.439 I said terrible things about him. Ben Dominich was one 0:10:32.520 --> 0:10:34.760 I remember. And what's the other guy's name? Doesn't matter, 0:10:35.120 --> 0:10:36.800 and they said. And I ran into him a week 0:10:36.880 --> 0:10:39.880 later and he was completely friendly and welcoming, and I said, 0:10:39.880 --> 0:10:41.560 you know, I'd said some harsh things about you. And 0:10:41.600 --> 0:10:44.200 he said, oh, everybody gets to have an opinion. That's fine. 0:10:44.559 --> 0:10:47.120 I get it. I can respect that. And he just 0:10:47.240 --> 0:10:48.440 didn't hold grudges. 0:10:49.360 --> 0:10:51.679 Remember when Trump gave out his phone number, gave out 0:10:51.720 --> 0:10:52.920 lundsy Gum's phone number. 0:10:53.400 --> 0:10:55.240 Yes, that was a funny moment. 0:10:55.559 --> 0:11:01.280 Anyway, we should start the show officially.

Already to your twenty twenty 0:11:05.960 --> 0:11:08.280 six or Armstrong, you getting we approve of this program. 0:11:08.480 --> 0:11:10.680 All right, let's start running away from the Bison of 0:11:10.800 --> 0:11:13.920 Faith as fast as we can, precisely according to FCC rules. 0:11:13.960 --> 0:11:16.160 Rags at Mark. But I just want to make it 0:11:16.200 --> 0:11:16.760 really clear. 0:11:17.400 --> 0:11:20.880 I'm in the Hitler Sucks wing of their Revolgan Party. 0:11:23.520 --> 0:11:31.240 What is this Hitler? I don't know. Anyway, he was 0:11:31.320 --> 0:11:33.040 also hilariously funny. 0:11:33.120 --> 0:11:35.679 I've got a funny quote from Al Franken, the former 0:11:35.720 --> 0:11:37.960 Saturday Night Live writer who went on to be a 0:11:38.080 --> 0:11:40.880 US Senator. He was asked who in government is funny 0:11:40.920 --> 0:11:42.920 and he said nobody except for Lindsay Graham. He said, 0:11:42.960 --> 0:11:46.199 Lindsay Graham is hilarious, like truly hilarious from Al Franken. 0:11:46.800 --> 0:11:48.160 Yeah, we'll get. 0:11:48.080 --> 0:11:50.000 To headlines with Heather Meyers coming up.

It's 0:11:56.640 --> 0:11:59.480 hard to have everybody working at the same time, or 0:11:59.520 --> 0:12:02.120 at school at the same time, or at your whatever 0:12:02.160 --> 0:12:04.360 at the same time. I've noticed with various meanings. 0:12:04.360 --> 0:12:07.120 I'm trying to have stuff like that because everybody's you know, 0:12:07.200 --> 0:12:10.280 different schedule. Anyway, we'll get to headlines other things that 0:12:10.280 --> 0:12:11.719 are going on in the world, and there's lots of 0:12:11.720 --> 0:12:14.280 stuff going on, things that Lindsey Graham cared about that 0:12:14.360 --> 0:12:18.120 will no longer have an influence on, which is interesting. 0:12:17.640 --> 0:12:21.760 All on the way, stay hear. 0:12:26.679 --> 0:12:28.480 Got two quotes for you that can tell you where 0:12:28.520 --> 0:12:30.920 we are with the Iran war. Just with two quotes, 0:12:31.080 --> 0:12:34.480 scent Com said today Iran does not control the straight 0:12:34.480 --> 0:12:37.920 of hor moves. Ran said, the straight of hor moves 0:12:38.000 --> 0:12:41.120 is our territory and we will not allow a rogue 0:12:41.160 --> 0:12:43.200 and child killing army from the other side of the 0:12:43.200 --> 0:12:46.400 world to continue its illegal interference in it. 0:12:46.440 --> 0:12:47.960 That's a real contrast there. 0:12:48.120 --> 0:12:52.040 Yeah, that's a point of difference that it is going 0:12:52.040 --> 0:12:54.400 to have to be. That bridge is good good, The 0:12:54.400 --> 0:12:56.359 space is going to get bridged. 0:12:56.040 --> 0:13:00.959 With some sort of yes, some excellent excellent now there. Yeah, 0:13:02.360 --> 0:13:05.000 ah so a handful of headlines.

It is? And in similar fashion, 0:13:35.200 --> 0:13:39.080 I can say you're an ass, Michael. I could say 0:13:39.080 --> 0:13:41.960 I dug a hole yesterday. But it's best that the 0:13:42.000 --> 0:13:44.559 two be kept. A bart or the fabulous dog, the 0:13:44.600 --> 0:13:49.959 shit zoo. Oh it's a fine breed, loyal oil.

A stabbing pain for your 0:14:12.120 --> 0:14:14.520 back to your chest and back again. That's the symptom 0:14:14.559 --> 0:14:15.800 called nine one one right now. 0:14:15.840 --> 0:14:20.040 According to Politico, on Friday evening, hours before he died, 0:14:20.200 --> 0:14:21.480 he said he didn't feel very good. 0:14:21.880 --> 0:14:24.440 He's going to go to the doctor. Right after his appearance. 0:14:24.080 --> 0:14:25.600 On Meet the Press yesterday morning. 0:14:25.840 --> 0:14:28.040 Oh, since I get done with meat the price, I'm 0:14:28.040 --> 0:14:29.480 going to the doctor.

Nothing else on that not get the attention 0:14:54.760 --> 0:14:55.320 it used to get. 0:14:55.400 --> 0:14:58.080 I watched more soccer over the weekend than I have 0:14:58.200 --> 0:15:00.600 watched cumulatively in my entire life. 0:15:01.160 --> 0:15:04.920 So soccer has entered my world, and we do have. 0:15:05.080 --> 0:15:07.200 We're down to the final four and you got France 0:15:07.240 --> 0:15:10.200 Spain today and Argentina England tomorrow. 0:15:11.240 --> 0:15:14.640 Did you hear that? That's epic Argentina Egypt battle that 0:15:14.760 --> 0:15:19.080 was lost by Egypt has launched age new anti Semitic 0:15:19.160 --> 0:15:20.800 conspiracy theory online. No. 0:15:20.920 --> 0:15:23.400 They call it one of the great games in the 0:15:23.440 --> 0:15:24.280 history of soccer. 0:15:24.280 --> 0:15:27.040 And I watched it and it was amazing. And we'll 0:15:27.080 --> 0:15:31.200 tell you about exciting, absolutely moronic attempt to blame the 0:15:31.360 --> 0:15:34.760 Jews for everything. What the hell? People? Never again is now? 0:15:35.600 --> 0:15:37.880 Later on in the show, you got your mirror of 0:15:37.960 --> 0:15:40.960 cold Never mind, nobody cares about that. Mitch McConnell showed 0:15:41.040 --> 0:15:43.840 up again. He's very old. He fell, he had the pneumonia. 0:15:43.960 --> 0:15:46.080 Well, I think that was a I think that was 0:15:46.120 --> 0:15:48.640 a Lindsey Graham died the Senates so close to fifty 0:15:48.640 --> 0:15:50.400 to fifty. I got to come out and he's been 0:15:50.440 --> 0:15:51.840 in the hospital for a long time. Come out and 0:15:51.880 --> 0:15:56.240 say I'm still alive. Money Python like, yeah, is he 0:15:56.480 --> 0:15:59.960 what's his status electorally? He's not running for reelection, is he? 0:16:00.200 --> 0:16:00.360 No? 0:16:00.640 --> 0:16:03.080 But he is in the Senate and needs to be 0:16:03.080 --> 0:16:04.840 a vote if they're going to vote on anything. 0:16:05.680 --> 0:16:09.520 Yeah. South Cakilac needs a new senator now, and there'll 0:16:09.560 --> 0:16:12.680 be a temporary one. But former Congressman I think is 0:16:13.480 --> 0:16:17.240 who's seventy eight years old, has said yes, I'll serve 0:16:17.280 --> 0:16:20.200 out the term and then I'll run for a new term. No, 0:16:20.760 --> 0:16:24.560 just no. Well, and Nancy Mace came out and said 0:16:24.560 --> 0:16:29.680 she might run. If anybody's looking for a cree'sy senator, 0:16:29.720 --> 0:16:34.480 she'd be a good choice. We'll catch up on some 0:16:34.560 --> 0:16:36.440 other stuff that happened over the weekend. Though. 0:16:36.880 --> 0:16:39.480 There's a new dating app that apparently is a caught 0:16:39.480 --> 0:16:43.440 hold among young people. Lots of stuff, hard news, soft news, 0:16:43.440 --> 0:16:44.360 and everything in between. 0:16:46.160 --> 0:16:47.280 Armstrong and Getty. 0:16:48.040 --> 0:16:50.760 This latest route of air strikes came after Iran fired 0:16:50.800 --> 0:16:52.200 on a Cypress flag. 0:16:51.960 --> 0:16:53.680 Cargo ship crossing the Strait. 0:16:53.680 --> 0:16:56.000 It was traveling outside of the route designated by Iran 0:16:56.440 --> 0:16:59.360 and following the route encouraged by the US. One sailor 0:16:59.400 --> 0:17:02.160 is now missing and the ship was disabled. President Trump 0:17:02.240 --> 0:17:04.720 says Iran triggered this round of violence. 0:17:04.880 --> 0:17:06.600 So I wanted to play that to get into a 0:17:06.600 --> 0:17:09.360 little feature I'm going to do, called me asking Joe 0:17:09.440 --> 0:17:12.040 questions since he's back from vacation. Joe was that old 0:17:12.040 --> 0:17:14.240 guy who got flipped by the bison man. 0:17:14.240 --> 0:17:15.680 If you've seen that VI hurt. 0:17:15.760 --> 0:17:22.879 Oh, Luckily he's okay and he's back from vacation. That 0:17:22.920 --> 0:17:26.240 clip there about Iran firing the ships. I can't figure 0:17:26.240 --> 0:17:29.280 out what i ran strategy is. What are they trying 0:17:29.280 --> 0:17:33.840 to do? They had like the greatest The reason everybody left, 0:17:33.920 --> 0:17:37.320 right and center hated the MoU the deal Trump made 0:17:37.400 --> 0:17:38.600 was because it was so good for Ran. 0:17:38.880 --> 0:17:39.960 You got a great deal. 0:17:40.200 --> 0:17:43.439 The money spicket was turned back on. You're dragging your 0:17:43.480 --> 0:17:48.720 feet on your nuclear negotiations. You won, So why did 0:17:48.760 --> 0:17:52.040 you start firing on ships? What is their flipping strategy? 0:17:52.960 --> 0:17:57.159 A couple of things. Number One, I've read some some 0:17:57.320 --> 0:18:02.360 learned analysis that suggests they have sided that the straight 0:18:02.920 --> 0:18:06.199 and or Straits of Hormuz is their nuclear weapon. And 0:18:06.280 --> 0:18:09.840 so they are going to control it period, and they 0:18:09.880 --> 0:18:12.680 are going to wear the US and the West down 0:18:12.680 --> 0:18:15.080 till we say, okay, okay, you can charge tolls and 0:18:15.160 --> 0:18:18.640 control it, just please let the economy function. So they 0:18:18.640 --> 0:18:21.639 wanted more than the deal. And second thing, if I 0:18:21.680 --> 0:18:25.200 was advising them, I'd say you won. Well, see here's 0:18:25.280 --> 0:18:29.440 the one, here's the I agree with you. The other 0:18:29.440 --> 0:18:32.120 part of the problem is and John Bolton, who by 0:18:32.160 --> 0:18:35.800 the way, makes Lindsey Graham look like JD. Vance. John 0:18:35.840 --> 0:18:41.200 Bolton is saying we were too successful in decapitating the 0:18:41.200 --> 0:18:45.159 Iranian leadership. They don't have anybody who can make a 0:18:45.200 --> 0:18:49.119 decision and make it stick. Across the government. They are 0:18:49.160 --> 0:18:52.040 still trying to figure out how to run the place 0:18:52.080 --> 0:18:54.520 and who's in charge. They can't make a deal. They're 0:18:54.560 --> 0:18:57.399 too weak, which I thought was interesting. 0:18:57.520 --> 0:19:00.760 Yeah, so they announced the lateen week might even have 0:19:00.800 --> 0:19:03.920 been over the weekend the government announced, Hey, that wasn't 0:19:04.040 --> 0:19:06.080 us that fired on those ships in the Strait. It's 0:19:06.080 --> 0:19:09.040 some rogue people we have no control over. Is that 0:19:09.119 --> 0:19:12.399 them just jerking the world around or is that true? 0:19:12.520 --> 0:19:13.240 Could be true. 0:19:13.400 --> 0:19:15.840 Also could just be Hey, you can't blame me, that 0:19:15.960 --> 0:19:20.360 was some crazy guy well exactly, but scenarios are entirely possible. 0:19:20.400 --> 0:19:21.720 But it accomplished what they wanted. 0:19:21.760 --> 0:19:24.200 As ships start stopped going through the strait because once 0:19:24.200 --> 0:19:28.320 again insurance companies are saying, no, no, you're not going. 0:19:28.160 --> 0:19:32.520 Through there, right. Yeah, well, god, I just I just so, 0:19:33.800 --> 0:19:34.399 since you weren't here. 0:19:34.480 --> 0:19:37.119 Last week of Wall Street Journals reporting on Friday was 0:19:37.200 --> 0:19:42.399 that zero had been had happened so far in the 0:19:42.480 --> 0:19:45.760 nuclear negotiation in the talks for a couple of weeks. Zero, 0:19:46.440 --> 0:19:49.200 No single thing had been accomplished. 0:19:49.560 --> 0:19:53.080 Nope, hadn't even like you decided how to set up 0:19:53.160 --> 0:19:55.760 chairs in the table and whether we'll have coffee or 0:19:56.119 --> 0:19:59.280 just like multiple beverages or nothing. Nothing. 0:20:00.000 --> 0:20:02.640 He had cut off the money Stickott, Secretary of Treasurer, 0:20:02.680 --> 0:20:04.640 came out and said, ducky, that's over. You don't get 0:20:04.640 --> 0:20:06.840 to trade in US dollars and sell oil and all 0:20:06.880 --> 0:20:08.440 that sort of stuff. So we're back going to say. 0:20:08.480 --> 0:20:09.600 It's scary to one on that. 0:20:10.040 --> 0:20:12.680 It struck me that nothing had changed in the last 0:20:12.720 --> 0:20:14.639 two and a half weeks, but I guess that changed. 0:20:14.760 --> 0:20:15.840 A lot happened in between. 0:20:16.359 --> 0:20:19.680 But yeah, ultimately you come back after vacation and you're 0:20:19.720 --> 0:20:20.760 in the same spot as when you. 0:20:20.840 --> 0:20:26.560 Left, which yea more of the same sort of things happened. Yeah. 0:20:28.119 --> 0:20:31.359 I thought Iran was going to get away with making 0:20:31.400 --> 0:20:35.440 lots of money and dragging their feet on the war 0:20:35.840 --> 0:20:38.280 getting a nuclear weapon thing for until they got one. 0:20:38.440 --> 0:20:40.320 But I don't know where we are now. I was 0:20:40.359 --> 0:20:43.040
