Speaker 2: deeper than.

6
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 1: The bowels of the Armstrong and Getty Communications Compound. I

7
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 1: was a little late getting in.

8
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 2: I couldn't find my tank, stretching shorts to do all

9
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 2: my posts on my Bimblification fan page.

10
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 1: Hang to dry, I gotta shrink up on you if

11
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 1: you're not careful, they're already a little snug.

12
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 2: But yeah, I noticed anyway. Today, Sorry, a little left

13
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 2: to the imagination. Today we're under the tutlage of this

14
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 2: title of the show.

15
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 1: To the Moon Alice to the Moon or live updates

16
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 1: on what's being called kid Rock Helicopter Pool. Oh, for

17
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 1: God's sake Gate, the scandal that has rocked the nation

18
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 1: up and down the coast. Yes, we got a.

19
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,040
Speaker 2: Rocket ship going off tonight to the Moon for the

20
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 2: first time in a half a century, which is very exciting.

21
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,040
Speaker 2: That's today, and the President's going to speak tonight and

22
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 2: address the country and nobody has any idea why what

23
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 2: he's going to say, with lots of speculation that he's

24
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 2: going to come out and kind of announce it's over ish.

25
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 2: That's what most of the cable news channels are saying.

26
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 1: Who knows.

27
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 2: I have no idea myself. Nobody actually knows. Yes, what

28
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 2: do you suppose he's going to do?

29
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: Oh gosh, I would be making a wild guess. I

30
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: don't have any idea. We're a month and a couple

31
00:01:58,440 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: of days in.

32
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 2: He's made no address other than when he came out

33
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 2: in the middle of the night in his white hat

34
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 2: in a poorly lit room and announced it started, but

35
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 2: nothing else, And so we'll see what goes on with

36
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 2: that tonight.

37
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:16,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, the full range of options is out there, which

38
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: is a pretty good way to a place to be

39
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 1: in if you're trying to keep your opponent guessing too.

40
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,799
Speaker 1: I read a theory that, hey, the IRGC at this

41
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 1: point realizes, hey, we can survive about anything without a

42
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: nuclear weapon. So maybe we put that aside and all

43
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,079
Speaker 1: the headaches it causes, just hang on to our leptocracy.

44
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: Let's cut a deal right now. We'll clamp down on

45
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 1: the population, torture, kill as we must, but we'll stay

46
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 1: in power. Yeah.

47
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 2: I don't know who's speaking for who, or if they

48
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 2: speak with one voice or whatever. But yesterday late in

49
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 2: the day, they made threats on all kinds of American companies,

50
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 2: all the big name companies that you've heard of, We got,

51
00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:00,040
Speaker 2: you know, installations around the Middle East and Iran, that

52
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 2: they're going to start hitting them if we don't lay off,

53
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:07,519
Speaker 2: which we're not. And UAE announced last night that they're

54
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,919
Speaker 2: willing to officially get involved.

55
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,959
Speaker 1: In the war and help open the straight we'll see. Yeah,

56
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: they're yelling, go all the way, let's not stop now.

57
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:18,959
Speaker 2: I just saw the list of European countries and what

58
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 2: they've announced. I might not have all these perfectly right,

59
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,399
Speaker 2: but they're close. France said no Israeli planes can land

60
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 2: on any of their air bases. Italy said US can't

61
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 2: use any of their bases for refueling or whatever. And

62
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 2: then Spain was like, super hardcore, you can't use airspace,

63
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 2: you can't use bases, you can't use.

64
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 1: This or what is that all about? Why why would

65
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 1: you be that way? Boy, that's a complicated answer to

66
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 1: that question. Spain's a special case. They're the current leader

67
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 1: is a socialist nut job, populous dipass. But those other countries,

68
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 1: it's trouble partly. Let's see Italy is surprising to me.

69
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 1: I'd like to know more about that. Britain's under a

70
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 1: lefty labor government of run by the limp wristed Keir Starmer.

71
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 1: So they're just of that kind of weak noodle armed

72
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:20,840
Speaker 1: lefty stance right now where you don't ever do it,

73
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 1: You don't assert your national interests at all. You just

74
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,280
Speaker 1: have a giant welfare state and kind of whimper and

75
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: cower in the corner.

76
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 2: Well, the other interesting thing happened today is Trump says

77
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 2: he's going to attend the Supreme Court oral arguments over

78
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:39,159
Speaker 2: one of the big cases that he started with an

79
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 2: executive order. And that's never happened before where a sitting

80
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,160
Speaker 2: president goes and watches the Supreme Court do they're arguing,

81
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 2: So that'd be exciting. I guess it's a bad idea,

82
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 2: and I hope he doesn't do it's a terrible idea.

83
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,840
Speaker 2: It's the birthright citizenship case, though, and I've got some

84
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 2: really good perspectives on that to dive into should.

85
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: Your kid be a citizen? Just because you just flew

86
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: into lax for an hour and squatted there on the tarmac.

87
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 2: We can talk about the argument on that later. Why

88
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 2: do you don't like the idea of Trump going and

89
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 2: watching looks like intimidation? Yeah, I wondered if is at

90
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 2: his point? Is it kind of like Godfather one or two,

91
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 2: where you have somebody walk in the back room and

92
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 2: all the justices or whatever judges are like, oh, but

93
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 2: he can't threaten justices, he can't remove them or do

94
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,480
Speaker 2: anything to him or whatever they're appointing for life.

95
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true. Although you know, he said some really

96
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 1: stupid stuff last night about the justices, about the justices

97
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 1: he appointed and the Conservatives who have gone against him

98
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,599
Speaker 1: occasionally because they had principles, saying that they were stupid

99
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,840
Speaker 1: people and bad people, and it was just childish and idiotic.

100
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 1: It's one of his low moments, one of several. On

101
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,160
Speaker 1: the other hand, there's part of me that things if

102
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 1: he goes there and listens, his eyes glaze over instantly

103
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:01,480
Speaker 1: as the justices get deep in to you know, strict

104
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:05,479
Speaker 1: scrutiny versus you know, another legal doctrine and blah blah blah,

105
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 1: and you know, maybe it'll snap his eyes open. I

106
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:11,599
Speaker 1: doubt it, but maybe it will snap his eyes open

107
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 1: that it's not I'm against Trump because I will like him. Well,

108
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 1: I like Trump, and that's not the arguments. That's the

109
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:20,720
Speaker 1: way he sees it.

110
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,159
Speaker 2: Do you know what celebrity is a big Supreme Court

111
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 2: fan and goes and watches oral arguments whenever he can

112
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 2: get in, and his friends with some of the top

113
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 2: lawyers and everything like that. Comedian John Mulaney. Oh, how

114
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 2: I saw him on Colbert the other night and he

115
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:38,160
Speaker 2: was talking about he attended the tariff arguments. He's a

116
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 2: super Supreme Court nerd. He drives around listening to old

117
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 2: oral arguments cases in his car when he's commuting and

118
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:48,040
Speaker 2: stuff like that.

119
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 1: And he's and he goes and watches when he wants.

120
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 2: He's just super into Scotis blog and all that different

121
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 2: sort of stuff and the long detailed arguments, and.

122
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 1: That a funny thing for a comedian to be into. Yeah,

123
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 1: And if you've listened to these oral arguments, as I

124
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 1: do occasionally, they're often not about the parts of the

125
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 1: case that you and me, you and I can understand, right.

126
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: They're about you know, legal doctrines and precedents established blah,

127
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: blah blah. It's pretty technical.

128
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 2: In other words, yeah, aren't they going to isn't this

129
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 2: going to be deciding whether or not what the Constitution says?

130
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 2: I mean, because whether it's right or wrong doesn't come down.

131
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 2: It's whether or not it's constitutional or not. And if

132
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 2: isn't there a decent chance? Are you just say no?

133
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 1: The Constitution says, if you're born here, you're you're a citizen.

134
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 1: It's stupid. I think it's a stupid idea, but that's

135
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 1: what the Constitution says. There's plenty of ambiguity. It's almost

136
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 1: as if the writers of the Fourteenth Amendment intentionally said, hey, hey,

137
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: I got an idea, let's screw with the future, and

138
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: let's let's vague this or word this really vaguely.

139
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 2: So since the oral arguments today, do you have a

140
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 2: handle on why some people on my side of politics

141
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 2: the way I see it, I shouldn't say politics, because

142
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 2: it's not the politics on my side.

143
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 1: Of I don't know vision of the way you ought

144
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 1: to run.

145
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 2: Things, sure, philosophy of governance, say no that that the

146
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 2: fourteenth Amendment is a good idea, because I don't quite

147
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 2: understand it.

148
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 1: Interpreting it the way it's currently interpreted, it's a good

149
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 1: idea with anybody who, for instance, according to one broadcast report,

150
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 1: squats on the tarmac at lax and produces a child.

151
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 1: I don't understand why we think that's a good idea.

152
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 1: I don't either, honestly, I've read the arguments. I think

153
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:41,599
Speaker 1: they're weak. Yea, And as often at the end of

154
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 1: this discussion, I could point out, Congress could clarify it

155
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 1: if we had a Congress that was worth you know,

156
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 1: a bucket a warm spit.

157
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 2: Right, But the argument, as you point out, is going

158
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 2: to be all day in for the next several days,

159
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 2: and their decision won't come out till June. It's just

160
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 2: the arguments today. It'll be if Trump. If they go

161
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 2: against Trump, it's a setback for Trump, and if Trump wins,

162
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:08,319
Speaker 2: a BA for Trump as opposed to how about we

163
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 2: discussed does it make sense that if you're here and

164
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 2: you have a baby, and you got no other attachment

165
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 2: to the United States, your baby's a US citizen for life.

166
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:17,680
Speaker 2: I think it makes no sense whatsoever.

167
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:19,839
Speaker 1: But talk to me, he said, I didn't ask for this,

168
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 1: and I should have. I'm an idiot. Trump was talking.

169
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 1: I think it was yesterday, maybe the day before, about

170
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 1: these Chinese oligarchs who have fifty seven kids in the

171
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: United States. Yeah, I mean that's absolutely not what the

172
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 1: fourteenth Amendment was about. It was about the children of

173
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: slaves period. Now how we want to interpret that to

174
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,679
Speaker 1: me is wide open. Again. We'll get into that. You

175
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 1: will be the smartest person in whatever room you are

176
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 1: after you hear that segment.

177
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 2: Okay, we need to start the show officially. I'm Jack Armstrong,

178
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 2: He's Joe Getty on this. It is ah, it's April first.

179
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:47,199
Speaker 1: This is what you do.

180
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,959
Speaker 2: Find a trusted loved one over years, you've developed a

181
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 2: trust with them, lie to them, and then laugh at

182
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 2: them when they take you seriously because you developed all

183
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 2: that trust.

184
00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 1: Over the years, right you hilarious? Yes, all April Fool's Day.

185
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 2: It's April first, the you're twenty twenty six where I'm

186
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 2: strung in getting and.

187
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:07,560
Speaker 1: We approve of this program. Let's begin. Then officially, here

188
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 1: comes the show at according to FCC rules or eggs

189
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 1: at mark taller than the.

190
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:13,599
Speaker 3: Statue of Liberty from the base of the tip of

191
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 3: the torch, well over three hundred feet, it weighs around

192
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 3: six million pounds. But that's okay, because it can produce

193
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 3: about eight million pounds of thrust starting with those two

194
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 3: big solid fuel boosters on the side there. They will

195
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 3: both burn straight through at the beginning, giving it that

196
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,080
Speaker 3: extra boost as it gets off the ground, and then

197
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 3: they will fall away. They will have the help of

198
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 3: that big orange core in the middle. It's orange because

199
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:42,679
Speaker 3: that is insulation to keep what's inside very very cold.

200
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 3: Liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen all together, sending this well

201
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 3: up into space with a tremendous amount of power.

202
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 1: With all the moon people. Eight thousand tons of thrust

203
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 1: reminds me of my seventies and my twenties. Oh that

204
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 1: was a good joke, but I was looking at a page.

205
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 1: I just suck.

206
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 2: I suck, you suck. You're right by the way. By

207
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 2: the way, this is not an Aprilvil's joke. April First,

208
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 2: the rent is due, the rent.

209
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 1: It's too damn.

210
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 2: We've got Katy see, we've got Katie's headlines on the way.

211
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 1: Stay here.

212
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 2: I was just reading about how baseball interest seems to

213
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:26,560
Speaker 2: be up. Tickets attend, It's up three years in a row,

214
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 2: and resurgence, and nobody's exactly sure why anything like that.

215
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 2: I just bought tickets for the home openers for the

216
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 2: for the Sacramento A's for Friday.

217
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go to that game, me and the boys.

218
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 1: Cool baseball fever. Good, Yeah, I got baseball fever. Excellent, excellent.

219
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,320
Speaker 1: I've got getting on with it fever. Because we've had

220
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 1: so much great stuff to talk about today, you know,

221
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 1: I'm so excited, I can't stand it. So let's begin

222
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 1: by figuring out who's reporting what it's the least story

223
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 1: with Katie Green Katie all.

224
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 2: Right, let's start with the alphabet networks. NBC.

225
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 4: Trump said he's strongly considering pulling out of NATO, CNN

226
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:02,320
Speaker 4: the President renewed is of NATO. Meanwhile, to Iran says

227
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 4: it's prepared for a longer war, and ABC. Trump considers

228
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 4: pulling United States out of NATO sites allied reluctance on Iran.

229
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 2: That would be a bombshell if he hasn't said that

230
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,559
Speaker 2: about one hundred times starting with like the first week

231
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:19,199
Speaker 2: of his first term. So we'll see what happens, and

232
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 2: who knows what he's going to say tonight.

233
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 1: Also, you know, it could be worth reassessing NATO if

234
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 1: it's you know, includes a lot of flabby, defenseless euro

235
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 1: socialist states. I mean, what's the point. I'm pro NATO,

236
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 1: but these are tough times.

237
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 4: From the Washington Post, markets rally, oil prices fall as

238
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:43,719
Speaker 4: Trump prepares.

239
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:48,679
Speaker 2: To address the nation on Iran war, and everybody's guessing

240
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:50,599
Speaker 2: as to if he's going to say we're we've just

241
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 2: begun the ground operation, or if we're leaving because it's over,

242
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 2: or anything in between.

243
00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 4: From the Associated Press, NASA's launch direct gives the official

244
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 4: go for tanking rockets ahead of today's planned Moon launch.

245
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 2: NPR do a nice job of continuing what killed NASA

246
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 2: in the first place. I think they made it all

247
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 2: about the identity politics, the first this or that in

248
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 2: space and everything.

249
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 1: They're so obsessed. I know who looks at the world

250
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 1: that way. Well, on an individual basis, and the progressives

251
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 1: who own NPR would disagree with this, but on an

252
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 1: individ dual basis. Somebody walks into the room that I'm

253
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:32,680
Speaker 1: gonna do business with. I'm not thinking, oh, Hispanic guy,

254
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 1: Hispanic that's interesting. No, I'm thinking, all right, we're gonna

255
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 1: do business here. What kind of guy is this? Hey,

256
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,080
Speaker 1: good to meet you. Blah, blah blah. The people are sick.

257
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 4: From the New York Times, Supreme Court to hear landmark challenge.

258
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 1: To birthright citizenship. I actual wait to get into that.

259
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,599
Speaker 2: Actually, I expect to be highly annoyed by this, and

260
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:54,840
Speaker 2: it could be pretty interesting.

261
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 1: Though.

262
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 2: I'm highly annoyed by this Daily Mail.

263
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:04,959
Speaker 4: Kansas City businessman bullied into dumping plans for a new

264
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:09,680
Speaker 4: new nightclub after white liberal women told him the name

265
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 4: he chose was racist. What was the name sundown? Hi

266
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:18,199
Speaker 4: fi for a for a nightclub? And they're at the

267
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 4: term sundown just really set them off?

268
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 1: What upset the white ladies? Yeah, sundowntown. Black people got

269
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 1: to be off the streets by sundown. It's not safe.

270
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 2: So they went after a black business out there. That

271
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 2: sounds like a guay to go. White ladies, it sounds

272
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 2: like a great name for a nightclub. Yes, it's perfect.

273
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 1: Yeah. Plus it's his nightclub. Shut up? Yeah, an you

274
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 1: a black guy?

275
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 2: He has a black guy?

276
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 4: Or what? From the New York Post, Don Lemon teases

277
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 4: possible run for president and claims he'd be a lot better.

278
00:14:55,040 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 2: Than Donald Trump. Right from study fines just.

279
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 4: Six weeks of boxing outperformed running and weightlifting for lowering

280
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 4: your blood pressure, well, just playing.

281
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 1: Better cardiovascular exercise. I assume that's what that means. Yeah,

282
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 1: oh yeah. Have you ever tried to box? It's incredibly tiring.

283
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 1: I've never boxed, but I wrestled, and a similar sort

284
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 1: of thing. Leaning up against somebody and using all your

285
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 1: limbs forcefully is exhausting. Like in a minute, you're exhausted.

286
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 1: Sure well, boxing is jumping rope while doing curls and presses,

287
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 1: and if it's real, occasionally getting punched in the nose,

288
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 1: which doesn't help your concentration.

289
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 4: And finally from the Babylon B Tiger Woods awarded honorary

290
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 4: California CDL.

291
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 1: I like that one. Oh commercial driver's license. Yeah, okay, Greg,

292
00:15:59,520 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 1: I didn't.

293
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 2: His statement he put out yesterday, from his standpoint, still

294
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 2: is all about him. Nothing in there about thank god

295
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 2: I didn't hurt anybody or anything, nothing like that.

296
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 1: Now, still all about him. Now he is one of

297
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 1: the most astoundingly self centered people ever in the world

298
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 1: of sports. And that's saying something. We'll have that for

299
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 1: you a little bit later, what he said, what his

300
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 1: plans are. Also, we got to get into Christine Olms's

301
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 1: husband because We did that late in the show yesterday

302
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 1: when the news broke. If you haven't seen the pictures,

303
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 1: good lord. The balloons that rock the nations stay with us, well,

304
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 1: it certainly rock your marriage, would certainly throw a wrench

305
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 1: into your marriage. If you were unaware of that and

306
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 1: you saw the pictures for the first time, you'd have

307
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 1: to sit down.

308
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh yeah, that's my husband. Yes, that's definitely my husband.

309
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 2: And why is he dressed like that? Why does he

310
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 2: have balloons under his tight top? And why is he

311
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 2: sitting spread legged in pink Go Go shorts?

312
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 1: Right? Oh oh boy? You expect to be annoyed by

313
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 1: the birthright citizenship. I'm just questioned.

314
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 2: Maybe I've listened to too much MS now I'm afraid

315
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 2: it's going to go the direction of keeping it going

316
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 2: the way it is, which I've always found to be nuts.

317
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 1: You gotta stop torturing yourself with that garbage. It's terrible.

318
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,359
Speaker 2: With that garbage. As you heard, we've got so many

319
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 2: different topics to get to today. If you missed a segment,

320
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 2: get the podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand.

321
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 1: More on the way.

322
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 5: Armstrong and Getty and now there are new threats coming

323
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 5: down starting today they say eighteen American companies that have

324
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:36,360
Speaker 5: operations in the Middle East will become, as they say,

325
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 5: legitimate targets. They say that this is in retribution for

326
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,879
Speaker 5: all the assassinations of their top leadership.

327
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 1: And are on.

328
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:45,919
Speaker 5: You see the companies on that list, big tech names,

329
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 5: big companies in the aerospace defense sectors as well, all

330
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,399
Speaker 5: being added to this legitimate target list, according to the

331
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 5: Revolutionary Guard.

332
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:58,639
Speaker 2: So that might happen, which obviously would up the anti

333
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 2: Fhran started to attack our business interests in a whole

334
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 2: bunch of different countries. In just a few minutes, Joe

335
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 2: is going to get the latest on kid rock Gate,

336
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 2: which has rocked the nation. M it's such a scandal.

337
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:22,440
Speaker 2: Schools have closed, eating's canceled. Oh shocking stuff. So the

338
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 2: President's going to address the nation tonight.

339
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 1: What is going on.

340
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:29,359
Speaker 2: I have felt like I've been less confused than the

341
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 2: mainstream media claims to be since this war started. I'm

342
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 2: getting closer to confused though, based on a lot of

343
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:39,360
Speaker 2: the statements yesterday. So Trump said yesterday and this first

344
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 2: time he ever said this, that he was ready to

345
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 2: live with the status quo and leave it to one

346
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 2: of his successors. To deal with, he said in quoting,

347
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 2: and a fairly short period of time will be finished.

348
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 2: They will not be able to do a nuclear weapon

349
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 2: for years, and when they are ready, maybe in a

350
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:55,880
Speaker 2: long time for now able to do nuclear weapons, you'll

351
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 2: have a president that will be like me and go

352
00:18:57,560 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 2: in there and knock the hell out of them. So

353
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 2: that seems like a slightly different position than we've been

354
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 2: in previously, or is that a feint?

355
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 1: So they feel.

356
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 2: Let their guard down and we're about to the Marines

357
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 2: are about to land on that because of Iran.

358
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,119
Speaker 1: I have no idea. I wish I had a firm idea,

359
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:20,879
Speaker 1: but it is possible, as I referred to earlier, that

360
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:25,639
Speaker 1: the current leadership in the IRGC has said, look, you know,

361
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 1: through back channels, we're willing to completely abandon the nuclear program.

362
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 1: I mean completely abandon it. If you say we're in

363
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:38,200
Speaker 1: charge and you call off the dogs in charge of

364
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:41,879
Speaker 1: the Straight of horn Moves, no of Iran, and then

365
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,919
Speaker 1: we negotiate ratcheting down attentions in the Straight of hor

366
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 1: moves in the IRGC keeps their kleptocracy, would they reopen

367
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 1: the Straight of horm Moves with that deal?

368
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 2: I don't know, so, Marco Rubio said yesterday, continuing along

369
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 2: with the I'm not exactly sure what's going on, explicitly

370
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 2: defined winning as destroying Iran missile capability, with no mention

371
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 2: of the nuke's regime change or the strait.

372
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 1: Was that an oversight? Was that on purpose?

373
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:17,639
Speaker 2: So once again is this Uh, they both know that

374
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:22,200
Speaker 2: a ground invasion is set to start this afternoon, and

375
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 2: so they're answering these questions in very you know, what

376
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 2: the hell difference does it make.

377
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 1: What I say at this point sort of way? Yeah? Intentional? Uh,

378
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 1: you know, vagueness, sure, Yeah, I really don't have contradiction.

379
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 2: It's gonna be Usually when a president addresses the nation,

380
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:40,919
Speaker 2: you know exactly what they're gonna talk about.

381
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:41,479
Speaker 1: Right.

382
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 2: They may justify what they're doing or help you understand

383
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 2: their reasoning, but you know what they're gonna say. Yeah,

384
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:51,159
Speaker 2: often to the point of like really really know what

385
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 2: they're gonna say. The whole thing is laid out and

386
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:55,399
Speaker 2: the CBS is reporting the president is about to let

387
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 2: us know that blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

388
00:20:57,280 --> 00:20:59,679
Speaker 2: all the points. Because it's a way to help make

389
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 2: the art argument for people who don't catch the address

390
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:03,920
Speaker 2: to hear. Here are the arguments.

391
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 1: Get it.

392
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:07,159
Speaker 2: We're trying to make it. We're trying to win an argument.

393
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:10,160
Speaker 2: That's the point of these things. And so you get

394
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 2: the information just dispersed as you can do, as many

395
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:16,439
Speaker 2: people as you can. And that's the way it's always happened.

396
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:20,679
Speaker 2: And unless you know, maybe this afternoon information will come out.

397
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 2: I don't know, but right now, nobody has any idea

398
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 2: if he's going to come out and say it's over,

399
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 2: we accomplish our goals, or if he's going to come

400
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:29,680
Speaker 2: out and say the ground operation has begun, or like

401
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 2: I said, or anything in between.

402
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 1: So I don't know. Buckle up, How do you like

403
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:36,880
Speaker 1: these two headlines about three inches apart on my computer screen,

404
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 1: same publication. Iran is focused on defending its territory and

405
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:44,119
Speaker 1: believes the US is not serious about diplomacy, So a

406
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:47,119
Speaker 1: spokesman for the Foreign ministry down there a few inches

407
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 1: Trump claims Iran's new regime president has asked for a ceasefire.

408
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:54,720
Speaker 1: Hohe boy, you know what I think. Often I don't

409
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:55,400
Speaker 1: know if Joe does.

410
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 2: We had an agent currently we have an amazing agent,

411
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:02,159
Speaker 2: but we hadn't agent before that was so perplexing to us.

412
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 1: But he was he was a Trump guy.

413
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:07,200
Speaker 2: He was like roughly the same age, from roughly the

414
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:10,440
Speaker 2: same part of New York, and he negotiated in roughly

415
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:13,679
Speaker 2: the same style, which was always so difficult for us

416
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 2: because it was just he would just be like bewilderingly

417
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 2: difficult and confusing and never respond or say different things,

418
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,159
Speaker 2: and everybody was just like, what is happening.

419
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 1: And going to keep them on their heels, so they're

420
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 1: going to wonder what the hell hit them? And we're like, well,

421
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 1: wait a minute, we liked these people, what was it

422
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:33,160
Speaker 1: a deal?

423
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 2: And I think about that often when I hear this

424
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:37,640
Speaker 2: stuff with Trump, that that's just the way our old

425
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:40,920
Speaker 2: agent used to negotiate. It is just like confuse everybody

426
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:43,200
Speaker 2: up into the moment of and piss them off, and

427
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 2: piss them off sometimes yeah, yeah, And I just wonder

428
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:47,199
Speaker 2: if that's what's happening.

429
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 1: Here's another angle on the conflict that I found interesting.

430
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:55,399
Speaker 1: Iran is doubling, tripling, quadrupling down on their strategy of

431
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:59,159
Speaker 1: let's just bomb all of our neighbors. Let's just terrorize

432
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:02,359
Speaker 1: the region until they cry uncle and beg us to

433
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:06,200
Speaker 1: call off our dogs. And so what they've done is

434
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:10,120
Speaker 1: take a look at your UAE and your Saudi Arabian

435
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 1: what they've done to expand and diversify their economies. So

436
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 1: they're no longer just oil and gas. Now they're tech. Now,

437
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 1: they're tourism. Now they're aluminum in the case of the UAE,

438
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. And Iran is like, okay, all right,

439
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:28,399
Speaker 1: that's your hot new prospect. That's what we're bombing. And

440
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:34,360
Speaker 1: they're deliberately going after the green shoots of diversified economics

441
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 1: in the region, further angering their neighbors.

442
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:40,919
Speaker 2: There's also the possibility, and this might unfortunately end up

443
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:46,240
Speaker 2: being true, that Putin's advising the Iranians, maybe even President

444
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:50,360
Speaker 2: she advising the Iranians saying, look, the United States, particularly

445
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:52,719
Speaker 2: this president, all they care about is their fore one

446
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:56,119
Speaker 2: k's in the stock market. We keep making it difficult

447
00:23:56,359 --> 00:24:00,200
Speaker 2: with gas expensive and the stock market rocky. People will

448
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 2: turn on this so fast. They have a very short

449
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:05,439
Speaker 2: attention span. We can weather the storm. And they might

450
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:08,119
Speaker 2: be right about that. Americans are soft and have a

451
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:10,879
Speaker 2: short attention span. Yeah, true, And there's a lot of

452
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:14,239
Speaker 2: true and it's easier for especially the mainstream media who

453
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 2: hates the current president to keep hitting you with what

454
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 2: the gap price of gas is, over whether the overall

455
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:24,359
Speaker 2: strategy long term is a good one. One more angle

456
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 2: and then we'll get to the controversy that is roiling America,

457
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 2: Kid Rock Gates. So at least you can send your

458
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 2: children off to school and not be worried about it.

459
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:34,160
Speaker 1: I almost don't want to talk about it. I get

460
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:38,200
Speaker 1: so emotional around it. Sure, sure everybody does. The UAE

461
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 1: is preparing to help the US and other allies open

462
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:42,880
Speaker 1: the straight of horror moves by force Arab official set

463
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 1: of move that would make it the first Persian Gulf

464
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:47,960
Speaker 1: country to become a combatant after being hit by Iranian

465
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:51,120
Speaker 1: attacks over and over and over again. They have absolutely

466
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:54,399
Speaker 1: taken the brunt of the IRGC's anger.

467
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:55,639
Speaker 4: U A.

468
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:59,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like because Iran hit a tanker off

469
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,359
Speaker 2: the coast and could tar and Kuwait International Airport yesterday,

470
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 2: and Terrain has been unrelenting in its attacks on its

471
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:08,679
Speaker 2: Gulf Arab neighbors. According to the Associated Presses, you were

472
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 2: just saying, I feel like UAE officially gets in and

473
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 2: then Saudi Arabia is like, okay, we got it also,

474
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:17,440
Speaker 2: I think a couple more join right away, I would agree.

475
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:20,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, the UAE is lobbying for the UN Security Council

476
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 1: useless resolution that would authorize such action not going to happen.

477
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:27,240
Speaker 1: Ammiaradi diplomats have hurts the US and military powers in

478
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 1: Europe and Asia to form a coalition, a coalition to

479
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:31,119
Speaker 1: open the straight by force.

480
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 2: You can't overemphasize what a big deal it would be

481
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 2: for Arab countries to be flying alongside Israeli planes and

482
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 2: attacking one of their neighbors, right right, It's amazing.

483
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 1: Oh and as long as we're talking about this, Jack

484
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:49,399
Speaker 1: and I both referred yesterday to this piece by the

485
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 1: fabulous Gerard Baker and the Wall Street Journal about how,

486
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 1: depending on which side of this you are, you're already

487
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:58,439
Speaker 1: pronouncing that it was a disaster, this is a miserable failure,

488
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,960
Speaker 1: or this is the greatest success ever and everything's gone

489
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 1: perfectly according to Plant, both perspectives of which are not.

490
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 1: But he gets into some of the specifics and it's

491
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:14,440
Speaker 1: almost hilarious. The economist, which is just terrible, saying a

492
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:18,719
Speaker 1: month of bombing has achieved nothing. There's this famous professor

493
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 1: of political science in the University of Chicago. We say

494
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 1: that with a straight face. I know it's insane. This

495
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:27,919
Speaker 1: Robert Pape, who's a super heavyweight among political scientists, insists

496
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:30,200
Speaker 1: the war as a long time disaster and the most

497
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 1: catastrophic failure of air power we have ever seen. Unbelievable.

498
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:38,199
Speaker 1: And then you've got on the other side, this guy

499
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 1: who's the chief economist at the private equity firm Apollo,

500
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 1: who's super well known on Wall Street, dismissed the alarming

501
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:47,160
Speaker 1: fallout and commodity equity and bomb markets, saying it would

502
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:49,920
Speaker 1: ultimately result in fifty years of stability in oil markets,

503
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:54,159
Speaker 1: supply chains, and geopolitics and Mark tieson who I generally like,

504
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:57,160
Speaker 1: who's a commentator as a speechwriter for George W. Said

505
00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 1: the war would go down as possibly the greatest military

506
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 1: campaign since the American Revolution. Okay, that seems a little

507
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 1: over the top. Which side of my on signaling? Eh? Brother?

508
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 1: All right, Michael, do you have scary music or anything?

509
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 1: We really I mean, this is this is the scandal

510
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 1: is shocked America to the core. Apparently in a video

511
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:23,160
Speaker 1: summer describing as really blank and cool, Apache, an Army

512
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 1: Apache helicopter was hovering right off the deck of Kid

513
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:35,399
Speaker 1: Rock's awesome hillside Tennessee pool as he saluted it and

514
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 1: pumped their fist, and they gave him a little nod

515
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:39,640
Speaker 1: of the helicopter and flew off again.

516
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:45,640
Speaker 2: How badass would you feel if the Army flew Apache

517
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,879
Speaker 2: helicopters over to your pool just say hey, thanks for

518
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:49,400
Speaker 2: all the help.

519
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 1: Kid Rock is the American badass. But yes, in a

520
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 1: video described by every mail on the planet with any

521
00:27:56,560 --> 00:28:02,400
Speaker 1: testosterone is really effing cool. But way to the Army said,

522
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 1: The Army is aware of a video circulating online that

523
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:09,360
Speaker 1: appears to show at an age sixty four apachelach apter

524
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 1: operating in the vicinity of a private residence in the

525
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 1: Nashville area. Army aviators must adhere to strict safety standards, professionalism,

526
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:21,200
Speaker 1: and established flight regulations. Asked about the incident on Tuesday,

527
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 1: President Trump, who is the commander in chief, said quote,

528
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:28,639
Speaker 1: I'm sure they had a good time. When told the

529
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:31,359
Speaker 1: Army was investigating, Trump said, yeah, they probably shouldn't have

530
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:35,919
Speaker 1: been doing that. On the other hand, Pete Hegsath, Secretary

531
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 1: of War, declared yesterday pilot suspension oh, because the pilots

532
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 1: were suspended pending the outcome of the investigation. Secretary Pete

533
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 1: posted on social media last night, Pilot's suspension lifted, no punishment,

534
00:28:54,600 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 1: no investigation. Carry on, patriots, Acretary Harry Pete rocking the

535
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 1: coast up and down the coast with a flag that

536
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:06,480
Speaker 1: says what chilling the most?

537
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 2: So how far are you willing to go with these

538
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 2: out of control right wing apache So like SORTI strikes

539
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:21,960
Speaker 2: on eleg Generos's house, would that be too.

540
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 1: Much for Don Lemon? But let's not argue sidewinder missiles

541
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 1: launched into Don Lemon's house is probably a little too far.

542
00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 1: For instance, bunker Buster on Rosie O'donnald's house. You know,

543
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 1: here's here's what needs to happen. This is why the

544
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:43,480
Speaker 1: way adults handle this sort of stuff. You put out

545
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 1: word all your flyers, dudes, you gotta be really careful

546
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 1: not to attract too much attention. Remember the rules and rags.

547
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 1: This is not a big deal, but this could get

548
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:57,960
Speaker 1: out of hand. Everybody ratcheted back up. You yeah, a

549
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 1: little bit, and then you trust your professionals to be sfessional.

550
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:03,360
Speaker 1: We're serious people at war. No more of that end

551
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 1: of speech. Yeah, exactly, that's fine. That's fine. That is

552
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 1: there are any further violations. Look, the hammer is going

553
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 1: to have to come down.

554
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 2: I don't think Kid Rock was lacking self confidence before

555
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 2: this incident, but it's probably juiced him up pretty good.

556
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 1: Kid Rock, real named Robert Ritchie appeared to be enjoying

557
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:29,280
Speaker 1: the fly Pig.

558
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 2: I'd say he's having a drink out by his pool.

559
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 2: The coolest aircraft on planet Earth. Come over to just

560
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 2: give him a you know, hey, what's up.

561
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 1: Are you doing? Kid? Good to see it, bro, That's

562
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 1: that's not at all cool. I'm shocked and outraged. Okay,

563
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:46,480
Speaker 1: we got mailbag next to here.

564
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 2: Head threatened might not be the right word to go

565
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:58,760
Speaker 2: to sit in Supreme Court oral arguments in the past,

566
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:01,480
Speaker 2: and didn't go. He's on his way, according to reports

567
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 2: to the Supreme Court, where he will sit there and

568
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 2: watch oral arguments around this whole birthright citizenship case, which Joe,

569
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 2: who almost went to law school, will explain.

570
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 1: To us to kick off hour two. Yeah, really interesting

571
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 1: questions and you again will be the smartest person in

572
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 1: any room you happen to be in after listening to

573
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 1: that segment, So stay tuned. Would you be a crass ignoramus,

574
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,160
Speaker 1: it's up to you. Here's your freedom. Let me quote

575
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 1: of the dent from the great Winston Churchill. With all

576
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 1: due respect to those who claimed Churchill was the villain

577
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 1: in World War two, and you know how much respect

578
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 1: is due to those people. None, absolutely none, They're morons.

579
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:45,560
Speaker 1: Here's Churchill's quote, never never, never believe any war will

580
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:48,040
Speaker 1: be smooth and easy, or that anyone who embarks on

581
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:50,960
Speaker 1: that strange voyage can measure the tides and hurricanes he

582
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 1: will encounter. The statesman who yields to war fever is

583
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 1: no longer the master of policy, but the slave of

584
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:03,000
Speaker 1: unforseeable and uncontrollable events. Wooh, that's a good thing to remember, boy,

585
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 1: when he would know. Yeah, Mailbago feel free to correspond.

586
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 1: Mail Bag at Armstrong and Giddy dot com is the

587
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:15,240
Speaker 1: email address. First, this from Cascade John Curgie Guys, talking

588
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 1: about the crazy ass up roar over military helicopters flying

589
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 1: near a kid Rocks property. I just had two massive

590
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 1: Chinook choppers fly over my house. I went on the deck,

591
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 1: raised a glass of Rye whiskey to toast them best.

592
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 1: Cascade John, Well, Cascade John will be investigating that undo Google,

593
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:36,480
Speaker 1: were it NATed. Ye and yeah, if during the Biden

594
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 1: administration some helicopters have tipped their captain Katy Perry, no,

595
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have given a single pope. Let's see stand,

596
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 1: writes Trump. And I suppose others hope that military action

597
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 1: in Iran would somehow result in Iran becoming democracy with

598
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:53,760
Speaker 1: protected individual liberties for the citizens. But it's sadly impossible.

599
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:55,840
Speaker 1: Love the idea. I hate to be negative, but I

600
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 1: just don't see it. The IRGC won't let it happen.

601
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 1: Then he describes me, people from all over the Middle

602
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 1: east's been really nice people, whatever their heritage. From my prospective,

603
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 1: Israel is great. So as Iran. You name the country,

604
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:12,320
Speaker 1: nice people, They're hard work and blah blah blah. They

605
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 1: just in that region, they have nothing but a tradition

606
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 1: of kings and oligarchs, kings and dictators. That's just culturally,

607
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:25,240
Speaker 1: that's what they know. Russia is a great example of that.

608
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 1: No time to talk about that now, but we have

609
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:32,920
Speaker 1: self rule in our DNA going back hundreds of years,

610
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 1: way prior to the birth of our country.

611
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 2: Cuba is similar to those other countries you mentioned. As

612
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:41,720
Speaker 2: I've been reading this book about Fidel Castro and the

613
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 2: Cuban Revolution.

614
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 1: But yeah, they've always had strong men leaders. Yeah, it's

615
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 1: all they can relate to. Paul and sa Ranch writes,

616
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 1: my view and experience to Tiger Woods and President Trump

617
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:55,360
Speaker 1: are extremely similar, always appreciating their accomplishments, but have always

618
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 1: cringed when listening to their narcissism. I guess we can't

619
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 1: always have both accomplished. To end home and this from Rich,

620
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:05,800
Speaker 1: I'm surprised it never came up. But how about Tiger

621
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:08,440
Speaker 1: getting one of those self driving teslas with really dark

622
00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 1: tinted windows so he could sit Martiniz on the way

623
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:12,759
Speaker 1: to the gym to work out, then to the pharmacist

624
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 1: to get his doctor prescribed medications. Seems like a pretty

625
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:18,239
Speaker 1: simple solution to me. Yeah, I'm surprised.

626
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:24,759
Speaker 2: What a blind spot, No kidding, Well, it's again, as

627
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:26,759
Speaker 2: I know a lot of addicts and alcoholics, it's a

628
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:29,480
Speaker 2: he would be admitting to himself he's got a problem,

629
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 2: that is the whole thing, that is the whole ballgame,

630
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 2: and so he's not going to make adjustments to his

631
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:39,360
Speaker 2: problem because in his mind he doesn't have a problem.

632
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:42,040
Speaker 1: Wow. Yeah, that's this sort of thing I don't think

633
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:45,520
Speaker 1: most people would think of, including me, Jared and Missouri

634
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:48,320
Speaker 1: with our chilling and terrifying email of the day on

635
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:51,920
Speaker 1: the topic of armed drone swarms. China already has these.

636
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:54,799
Speaker 1: They've already developed tactics with AI driven drones and different

637
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 1: sizes and armaments, timing them to coordinate with AI efficiency

638
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:01,080
Speaker 1: and no fear of losses. I guarantee you know. I

639
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:04,400
Speaker 1: was reminded of the Olympics, and this was quite a

640
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:07,680
Speaker 1: few years ago when they had that mind bogglingly complex

641
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:11,960
Speaker 1: drone lights shown was part of the opening ceremonies. Right,

642
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:13,840
Speaker 1: I'll bet they're way ahead.

643
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:18,440
Speaker 2: Ooh, that's troubling thought if you saw sixty minutes piece

644
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:21,960
Speaker 2: Sunday night about drone swarms and about how that's about

645
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:25,799
Speaker 2: powered by AI. It's about to come to the battlefield

646
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:29,160
