1 00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:06,160 Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 2 00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:10,720 Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty arm Strong 3 00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:17,239 Speaker 1: and Jettie and he Armstrong and Yetty. 4 00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:26,440 Speaker 2: The Iranians continue to launch waves and waves of ballistic 5 00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,960 Speaker 2: missiles into this country. Overnight, we understand there were sixty 6 00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:34,280 Speaker 2: five missiles and they were targeting a variety of locations. 7 00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:36,920 Speaker 2: We could hear the explosions in Tel Aviv as some 8 00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:41,440 Speaker 2: were intercepted overhead by Israel's advanced missile defense systems. 9 00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:46,800 Speaker 3: And also Saudi Arabia and Jordan helping knock those things down. 10 00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:50,960 Speaker 3: And we're prepared to help if we have to if 11 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,320 Speaker 3: things get really ugly, including we're setting the USS Nimics 12 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:58,440 Speaker 3: Carrier Strike Group toward the Middle East right now to 13 00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:02,319 Speaker 3: bulk up our ability to help Israel if things get 14 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:04,920 Speaker 3: worse than they are now, which it's pretty warry now. 15 00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,360 Speaker 3: Iran officially declared war the other night. 16 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:11,440 Speaker 1: Right keeping in mind, and I must state this for 17 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:15,080 Speaker 1: the fellas and very few women in the Silent Service. 18 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 1: Anytime we have a couple of submarines in waters within 19 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:20,960 Speaker 1: a thousand miles, we have one of the strongest militaries 20 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:25,120 Speaker 1: on Earth poised to unleash Holy Hell. So yeah, it's 21 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 1: a real show force adding that carrier group to it. 22 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 1: It's difficult to imagine what the Mullahs think they can 23 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 1: accomplish by lobbing ordinance at Israel. I guess you have 24 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,360 Speaker 1: to do something. Are they hoping for a lucky hit 25 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:49,040 Speaker 1: that brings down high rise apartment building or something and 26 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 1: kill so many people? Israel says, oh no, nope, all 27 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 1: that stuff about we've got to deny them a nuclear 28 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,320 Speaker 1: weapon and any cost is worth it. We've changed our minds. 29 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 1: Let's have a peace treaty. I guess that's what they're 30 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 1: hoping for. 31 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 3: Supreme Leader Kamani declared war on Israel as Iran's opening 32 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 3: MISSILESAVO ranged down in television. The Zionist regime made a 33 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,799 Speaker 3: grave mistake, he said in a televised address. Life will 34 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,640 Speaker 3: become bitter for them, without a doubt. They should not 35 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 3: think they struck in. It's over. No, they started this 36 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 3: in triggered to war. We will not allow them to 37 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 3: walk away unscathed from the great crime they have committed. 38 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 3: And then the plan was apparently to unleash about a thousand. 39 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 1: Ariel. 40 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 3: This and that drones and missiles toward Israel. But turns 41 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 3: out Israel took out a bunch of the missile launchers 42 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,519 Speaker 3: and or the people who would have ordered them launched, 43 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 3: so the number in the response was way, way, way 44 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,520 Speaker 3: way smaller than the weird beard was open. 45 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 1: The Zionist regime was not content to just take that blow. 46 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 1: They As tree Yanks continues, the Empire strikes back. 47 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,680 Speaker 2: The Israelis are striking back, taking out top intelligence officials 48 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 2: from the Iranian regime, including the country's chief intelligence officer 49 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 2: and his deputy. They also took out what they say 50 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 2: are one third of the ballistic missile launching positions, despite 51 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,640 Speaker 2: the fact the Israelis say they now have air superiority 52 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:21,080 Speaker 2: over the Iranian capital of Tehran. This is expected to 53 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,079 Speaker 2: continue for a number of days, if not weeks, as 54 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,640 Speaker 2: Israeli forces are trying to weaken the Iranian regime and 55 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 2: target the country's nuclear facilities. 56 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 3: I saw Tray yingst have to run to a bunker 57 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 3: over the weekend while he was doing a live report. 58 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 3: People are dying in Israel, not in large numbers, but 59 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 3: people are dying and being injured. 60 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, Trace a terrific reporter by the way last clip 61 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 1: from him. 62 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 2: The assessment is that Iran has around two thousand ballistic missiles, 63 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 2: and the Israelis have been able to take out some 64 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,119 Speaker 2: of the stockpile. They've been able to target, like I said, 65 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 2: a third of the launching positions. But this still gives 66 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 2: around the capability to fire hundreds of ballistic missiles into 67 00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,360 Speaker 2: this country. These are not like the rockets that came 68 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 2: from Gaza or from southern Lebanon. 69 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 1: These are missiles that can. 70 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 2: Take out entire blocks in major cities like Tel Aviv. 71 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 3: Uh it's on, I mean, it is a war. War. 72 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 3: I thought this was interesting. The Atlantic was talking to 73 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 3: Donald Trump and making the argument that a lot of 74 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 3: your base doesn't like to be involved in any of 75 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 3: these wars. And you ran on America first, and America 76 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 3: first means not getting, you know, involved in things that 77 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 3: we have nothing to do with, and Trump said, and 78 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 3: I thought this was a really good answer to the 79 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:41,280 Speaker 3: Tucker Carlson crowd, or the Tulsi Gabbard or whoever. Well, 80 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,599 Speaker 3: it's now pretty clear that that Tulsi Gabbard video she 81 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:47,159 Speaker 3: put out was because she knew as the DNI that 82 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,599 Speaker 3: was all about to go down and she was trying 83 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 3: to influence her boss, Donald Trump toward you know, not 84 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:55,680 Speaker 3: getting us involved and worried about nuclear war and that 85 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,159 Speaker 3: sort of stuff, because she's a non interventionist or whatever 86 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 3: you want to call that crowd. Anyway, Rup said, well, 87 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:04,600 Speaker 3: considering that I'm the one that developed America first, and 88 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 3: considering that I invented that term, I think I'm the 89 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 3: one that decides that. Trump said, for those people who 90 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 3: say they want peace, you can't have peace if Iran 91 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 3: has a nuclear weapon. So for all those wonderful people 92 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:17,480 Speaker 3: who don't want to do anything about Iran having a 93 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:18,480 Speaker 3: nuclear weapon. 94 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 1: That's not peace. 95 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 3: So I like him just stating to that crowd, Well, 96 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,800 Speaker 3: I invented American first, So American first, so I get 97 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 3: to define it, and my definition is includes Iran not 98 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,839 Speaker 3: getting a nuclear weapon. I really like Rand Paul and 99 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 3: agree with him on practically everything except for this. 100 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 1: I think he's a kook on this. 101 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,680 Speaker 3: He was on one of your talk shows yesterday and 102 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:44,839 Speaker 3: he said, well that he has a weird way of talking. 103 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:46,040 Speaker 1: I don't know what that accent is, but. 104 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,479 Speaker 3: He said, people have been debating what is a a 105 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 3: just war for centuries? 106 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 1: You know, when do you go to war? When do 107 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 1: you not go to war? 108 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:59,479 Speaker 3: He said, But any preemptive or what was it, what's 109 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 3: the other word, preemptive or when you're trying to stop 110 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 3: something from happen, preventative? Any preemptive or preventative war is 111 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 3: not just. This war is not just. I thought, that's 112 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 3: a crazy standard. So you're gonna get your next let 113 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 3: your next door neighbor who's been vowing to kill you, 114 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 3: get the greatest weapon ever developed by man, because if 115 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,560 Speaker 3: I stopped him, that'd be a preventive war, and that's unjust. 116 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 1: Once he gets the weapon, that's when I'll go to 117 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 1: war with him, after he's killed me. That's a crazy 118 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 1: way to look at the world, like you. I love 119 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 1: rand on domestic politics, but yeah, that's a crack pot 120 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 1: point of view, honest. Interesting to point out a year 121 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 1: ago Israel was struggling, bogged down in Gaza, the earlier 122 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:52,160 Speaker 1: days of it surrounded by hesvelon Hamas, all backed by Iran, 123 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:56,360 Speaker 1: under pressure from Biden's wi A White House to stop fighting. 124 00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,479 Speaker 1: Now it's reshaping the Middle East on its own terms. 125 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 1: Quoting the Wall Street Journal, down forcing the Trump administration 126 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:06,360 Speaker 1: to play ketchup kind of Uh. With a series of 127 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 1: daring intelligence operations and fierce military campaigns, Israel's effectively disabled 128 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 1: Iranian allies Hamas and Hezbollah, while also prompting the collapse 129 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 1: of the Asad regime in Syria, an important Iran proxy 130 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 1: that people don't bring up, and it's now taking the 131 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:23,840 Speaker 1: fight directly to Tehran. 132 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, Mike Cleins brought this up an hour too, and 133 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 3: if you missed it, you should grab our podcast Armstrong 134 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 3: and Getty on demand. How this all has played out, 135 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 3: There's a number of reasons that Iran has no defense 136 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 3: for what Israel's doing right now. Somewhat it is the 137 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 3: defense they had got wiped out. But why did it 138 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 3: get wiped out? Because of October seventh. So October seventh 139 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 3: was so awful for Israel, but in the weird way 140 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 3: that history unfolds, it gave Israel the political cover on 141 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 3: the world stage to hit back. They're internal resolve too, 142 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 3: and yeah, in the internal politics to allow it to happen. 143 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:04,679 Speaker 3: And so they wiped out a whole bunch of the defense, 144 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,720 Speaker 3: and then it also allowed them to wipe out Hamas 145 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 3: and do that attack against Hesbelah, which was part of 146 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 3: the air defense that Iran had in just that. Hey, 147 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 3: if you ever strike Tehran, we got bad guys right 148 00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 3: on your border, Hamas and Hesbola that can unleash Hell 149 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 3: not anymore. So part of their air defense was Hamas 150 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 3: and Hesbel which got taken out that way. And as 151 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 3: you already mentioned, Sirius, So that's an interesting development. It's 152 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 3: so easy, you know the whole We may have lost 153 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:38,120 Speaker 3: the battle, but will win the war. Is a very 154 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,560 Speaker 3: true statement that you need to look down the road 155 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 3: of how things will play out, because October seventh was 156 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 3: a horrible day for Israel, but it has allowed them 157 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 3: to do all these different things where they might be 158 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,840 Speaker 3: able to take out their greatest enemy on the planet entirely. 159 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,600 Speaker 3: One more note this from Benjamin net and Yahoo, addressing 160 00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 3: the people of Iran. I have no doubt that your 161 00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 3: day of liberation from tyranny is closer than ever. And 162 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:06,480 Speaker 3: when that happens, Israelis and Iranians will renew the covenant 163 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:09,840 Speaker 3: between our two ancient nations together will bring a future 164 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 3: of prosperity, peace and hope. I like that tone. 165 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 1: I think it could be depending on what takes the 166 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:23,080 Speaker 1: place of the theocracy, and that's always a messy, messy business. 167 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:27,080 Speaker 3: According to The New York Times, Israel had the Iotola 168 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,959 Speaker 3: located and the ability to take him out in the 169 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,160 Speaker 3: same way that they've taken out you know, the leaders 170 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,720 Speaker 3: of all these different things and scientists and blah blah blah. 171 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:36,920 Speaker 3: They've killed a whole bunch of people.

And so everybody else 248 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:51,679 Speaker 1: had the lovely and still has the lovely luxury of 249 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:58,280 Speaker 1: saying where against violence and for diplomacy.

Actually, 256 00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:11,959 Speaker 3: Ran Paul said that among other people here we were 257 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:14,200 Speaker 3: in the midst of negotiations in Israel, did this. 258 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:17,920 Speaker 1: This is not helpful at all.

Regular correspondent to JT in Livermore, California, Guys, 346 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:21,200 Speaker 1: if China can build secret prisons within the US, they're 347 00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:25,480 Speaker 1: more like police stations with holding cells. But yeah, you 348 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:27,840 Speaker 1: know they're going to be building drone armies here in 349 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,880 Speaker 1: the US, maybe stored on those properties they're buying next 350 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:36,560 Speaker 1: to military bases. We hope they haven't already. Well, right, Obviously, 351 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,680 Speaker 1: the spring board of this is the knowledge that Ukraine 352 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,879 Speaker 1: had facilities within Russia in which they were constructing and 353 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:48,200 Speaker 1: or storing drones and waiting for the right moment to attack. 354 00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:53,240 Speaker 1: And JT helpfully sent along a link to an article 355 00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:56,440 Speaker 1: I believe we talked about at the time. Maps show 356 00:19:56,520 --> 00:20:00,479 Speaker 1: Chinese owned farmland next to nineteen US military bases, an 357 00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:04,960 Speaker 1: alarming threat to national security. Even if they hadn't come 358 00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:08,240 Speaker 1: up with that plan prior to what Ukraine did and 359 00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:13,080 Speaker 1: what Israel just did, they started a week ago, they're 360 00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:17,520 Speaker 1: doing it now. The New York Post identified nineteen bases 361 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:20,240 Speaker 1: across the US from Florida, Hawaii to Hawaii, which were 362 00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:23,280 Speaker 1: in close proximity to land bought by Chinese entities and 363 00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:25,880 Speaker 1: could be exploited by spies working for the communist nation. 364 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:29,479 Speaker 1: And if they can be, they will be. You know, 365 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:32,600 Speaker 1: get that tattooed somewhere where you can look at it regularly. 366 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:38,640 Speaker 1: If the Chinese communists can use a capability against us, 367 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:40,240 Speaker 1: they will use it. 368 00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:42,560 Speaker 3: Just the question of when I gotta admit if I 369 00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:44,480 Speaker 3: ever took off my shirt and someone said, what does 370 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:46,720 Speaker 3: that to tattoos say? And I say it says if 371 00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 3: the Chinese government can exploit a situation, they will. 372 00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:54,440 Speaker 1: That's your tattoo.

That's part 421 00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:18,840 Speaker 1: of its programming is to hide what it is doing. 422 00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:20,399 Speaker 3: Uh. 423 00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:24,120 Speaker 1: Timu also has code that quote allows it to reconfigure 424 00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:27,480 Speaker 1: itself after being downloaded. What do you use t move for? 425 00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:32,320 Speaker 1: What's it? It's a what dental hygiene? 426 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:32,560 Speaker 5: Uh? 427 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:33,719 Speaker 1: What do you use for? 428 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:34,000 Speaker 2: You know? 429 00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,120 Speaker 1: You can you can buy anything on it. It's it's 430 00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:39,840 Speaker 1: like China's Amazon. Oh okay, then why. 431 00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:41,040 Speaker 3: Do we use in the United States Because there's just 432 00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:43,480 Speaker 3: a lot of cheap crap on it, super cheap okay, 433 00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:47,000 Speaker 3: yeah wow, yeah wow. They are really hoisting us on 434 00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:50,600 Speaker 3: our own petards with the whole we like cheap crap. Okay, 435 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:52,879 Speaker 3: so we'll develop an app that can spy on every 436 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:55,400 Speaker 3: single American in the United States who wants to buy 437 00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:58,679 Speaker 3: extra cheap crap.

Temu has code that allows it to reconfigure 442 00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:15,320 Speaker 1: itself after you download it, so it becomes something different 443 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:19,680 Speaker 1: than you downloaded. Blah blah blah. This is the part 444 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:22,560 Speaker 1: I wanted to get to. The fear is that consumer 445 00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:25,040 Speaker 1: products marketed on Timu are the bait to get Americans 446 00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:27,000 Speaker 1: to download an app that gives the company and thereby 447 00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:29,960 Speaker 1: the Communist party, access to personal data, location tracking, and 448 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:34,440 Speaker 1: other sensitive information. Article seven of the National Intelligence Law 449 00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:37,919 Speaker 1: of China is the Chinese communists on their own. You know, 450 00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:41,040 Speaker 1: I'm tempted to dig up that great piece we had 451 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:45,119 Speaker 1: by was it? Oh? No, no, no, no. Who is 452 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:48,320 Speaker 1: the guy who wrote ah? His name is flitted out 453 00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:48,720 Speaker 1: of my head? 454 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:55,560 Speaker 3: An unbelievable piece quoting Chinese Intelligence Service officials on how 455 00:25:55,760 --> 00:26:00,000 Speaker 3: valuable a resource TikTok is. It quoted them chapter and verse, 456 00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:04,800 Speaker 3: quote after quote after quote from internal memorandum and meetings 457 00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:08,120 Speaker 3: where the Chinese intelligence services said, wow, TikTok is. 458 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:11,120 Speaker 1: An unbelievable boon to what we're doing. But anyway, here's 459 00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:14,320 Speaker 1: Article seven of the National Intelligence Law of China. Quote. 460 00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:18,679 Speaker 1: Any organization or citizen shall support, assist, and cooperate with 461 00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:21,840 Speaker 1: the state intelligence work in accordance with the law, and 462 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:25,120 Speaker 1: keep the secrets of the national intelligence work from becoming 463 00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:28,600 Speaker 1: known to the public. They are bound by law to 464 00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:34,719 Speaker 1: report anything that Chinese communists want to know. Well, we're fools, 465 00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:38,480 Speaker 1: we are, we want we freaking are. That's very maddening. 466 00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:44,800 Speaker 1: I know, you know, we've said enough. When when the 467 00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:48,679 Speaker 1: poo hits the fan in whatever shape or array of 468 00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:53,600 Speaker 1: flung poo results, everybody will say, how did that happen? 469 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:57,800 Speaker 1: I don't. Will I be some some sort of grimly 470 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:01,879 Speaker 1: satisfied now I want to be horror. No, just horrified. 471 00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:06,639 Speaker 1: On a cheerier note, love this, Andy Kessler, writing in 472 00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:13,160 Speaker 1: the Journal Javier Milay's gift for Pope Leo. On June 473 00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:17,240 Speaker 1: the seventh, the new Pope, the Chicago Guy, met with 474 00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:22,520 Speaker 1: Argentine President j Javier Malay at the Vatican. Malay gave 475 00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:26,879 Speaker 1: the pope a historical document from sixteen forty two cool 476 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:32,280 Speaker 1: a hand woven vicunya poncho.

You're hand woven gorgeous. And he also 479 00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:43,880 Speaker 1: gave him Friedrich Hayek's book from nineteen eighty eight, The 480 00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:48,240 Speaker 1: Fatal Conceit The Errors of Socialism. The book costs less 481 00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:50,679 Speaker 1: than nineteen dollars on Amazon, but It was the most 482 00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:54,600 Speaker 1: valuable gift, says Kessler, and he explains with some just 483 00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:57,400 Speaker 1: fabulous quotes from the book, which I need to read. 484 00:27:57,440 --> 00:27:59,120 Speaker 1: I've written quotes from it in my whole life. 485 00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:04,199 Speaker 3: But high K's fatal conceit is that quote man is 486 00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:06,960 Speaker 3: able to shape the world around him according. 487 00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:10,720 Speaker 1: To his wishes. That is the fatal conceit of humans. 488 00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:15,879 Speaker 1: It's a hearty defense of free markets and of classical liberalism, 489 00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,959 Speaker 1: and Kessler mentions that his friend and colleague Matthew Hennessy 490 00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:22,040 Speaker 1: got taken the task by Vice President Vance for defending 491 00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:25,440 Speaker 1: free markets. On these pages. In twenty twenty five, Hyak 492 00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:28,480 Speaker 1: pounds home the point that markets are about price discovery, 493 00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:32,600 Speaker 1: wealth creation. Quote is determined not by objective physical facts 494 00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:35,920 Speaker 1: known to any one mind, but by the separate differing 495 00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:40,160 Speaker 1: information of millions, which is precipitated in prices that serve 496 00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:44,360 Speaker 1: to guide further decisions. Catch that by buying and selling 497 00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:46,720 Speaker 1: in free markets to determined prices, you and I and 498 00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:50,320 Speaker 1: millions who are connected but only by signals resulting from 499 00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:54,640 Speaker 1: long and infinitely ramified chains of trade, we drive the economy, 500 00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:56,760 Speaker 1: and we do it better than self selecting know it 501 00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:58,840 Speaker 1: alls who really know nothing. 502 00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:02,640 Speaker 3: He gave that book to the pope. He did because 503 00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:04,840 Speaker 3: he thinks the pope or popes tend to lean a 504 00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:05,840 Speaker 3: little too socialist. 505 00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:08,720 Speaker 1: Yes, indeed, I think that was his purpose. Let me 506 00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:10,520 Speaker 1: hit you with one or two more quotes from Hayek. 507 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:15,160 Speaker 1: This is maybe my favorite. One's initial surprise at finding 508 00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:19,520 Speaker 1: that intelligent people tend to be socialists diminishes when one realizes, 509 00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:25,480 Speaker 1: of course, that intelligent people will tend to overvalue intelligence. Ah. 510 00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:29,080 Speaker 1: The curious task of economics is to demonstrate to men 511 00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:32,520 Speaker 1: how little they really know about what they imagine they 512 00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:37,000 Speaker 1: can design. Planners are ill informed. Quote to the naive 513 00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:40,120 Speaker 1: mind that can conceive of order only as the product 514 00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:43,680 Speaker 1: of deliberate arrangement, it might seem absurd that order and 515 00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:48,160 Speaker 1: economic growth can be achieved more effectively by decentralizing decisions, 516 00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:51,600 Speaker 1: he notes, And he notes that the fallacy because quote 517 00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:56,120 Speaker 1: decentralization actually leads to more information being taken into account 518 00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:59,080 Speaker 1: man by millions of people who don't even know they're 519 00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:01,320 Speaker 1: doing it. I'm a hyak for the wind there. 520 00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:08,520 Speaker 3: That would be Friedrich Hayek. Wrong, hyak, right, very different, hyak. 521 00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:11,920 Speaker 3: I love that love that. 522 00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:15,440 Speaker 1: Coming up. 523 00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:20,480 Speaker 3: Why are sharks falling out of the sky in South Carolina. 524 00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:24,240 Speaker 1: Order, mister chairman, how did they get it in. 525 00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:28,440 Speaker 3: This pretty interesting story and using our craziest celebrities as 526 00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:31,479 Speaker 3: a barometer for how much unrest we have in the world. 527 00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:38,280 Speaker 3: I think it might actually work. Among other things coming up, did. 528 00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:40,560 Speaker 7: You see the press conference the other day, Christy No, 529 00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:47,360 Speaker 7: our Homeland secretary was was here and one of our senators, 530 00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:50,560 Speaker 7: Alex Padia. I don't know if they knew it was him, 531 00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:53,280 Speaker 7: but he stood up to ask a question and confront her, 532 00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:57,240 Speaker 7: and they frog marched him out of there and threw 533 00:30:57,280 --> 00:30:59,520 Speaker 7: him on the ground and started to cuff him, and 534 00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:01,560 Speaker 7: got Newsom said, now do me. 535 00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:13,040 Speaker 5: Yeah, I tell you if if anyone. 536 00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:14,920 Speaker 7: Who's ready for us close up, it's Gavin. 537 00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,160 Speaker 5: I think this is his moments. 538 00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:17,480 Speaker 6: I do. 539 00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:18,240 Speaker 5: Yeah. 540 00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:21,520 Speaker 1: The era of performative politics. Yeah. I was just reading 541 00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:24,760 Speaker 1: a description of little Greta Tuneberg who was walking frelly 542 00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:27,440 Speaker 1: through the airport. Then when she saw the cameras, thrust 543 00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:30,120 Speaker 1: her hands behind her back as if she were cuffed. 544 00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:34,800 Speaker 1: Oh wow, all right, blah blah blah blah blah blah. 545 00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:38,440 Speaker 3: I concur our executive producer Mike Hanson came up with 546 00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:41,880 Speaker 3: this idea. When our celebrities, when our crazy celebrities get 547 00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:45,040 Speaker 3: crazier or peak crazy than the whole world is going, 548 00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:46,120 Speaker 3: They're like a barometer. 549 00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:51,520 Speaker 1: We can use them, I mean, said very insightful. Justin 550 00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:53,160 Speaker 1: Bieber and his wife are having troubles. 551 00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:57,360 Speaker 3: Cher's daughter's son tried to kill himself herself over the weekend, 552 00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:01,840 Speaker 3: and Brittany has released yet another crazy dancing TikTok video. 553 00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:05,360 Speaker 3: That's a barometer of how off the rails things are. 554 00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:07,520 Speaker 3: If Brittany, like you said, if she's dancing with knives, 555 00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:09,160 Speaker 3: well then we got k war in the Middle East. 556 00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:09,520 Speaker 1: Probably. 557 00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:12,040 Speaker 3: If she's calm, everything's calm, and right now things are 558 00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:13,680 Speaker 3: things are not good. 559 00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,080 Speaker 2: I'm scared of you because you're weird, because you go 560 00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:16,760 Speaker 2: into puberty. 561 00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:20,280 Speaker 1: I don't know what to say.

Please. 569 00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:46,320 Speaker 3: You think they'll demand regime change. I think they'll just 570 00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:49,440 Speaker 3: demand I don't know what would you demand to make 571 00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:51,600 Speaker 3: sure they don't get it, because they'd lie about anything 572 00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:53,000 Speaker 3: in terms of getting a nuclear. 573 00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:55,960 Speaker 1: Weapon, right, Yeah, any concession on the nuclear bomb front 574 00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:59,720 Speaker 1: has to include inspections and that's not gonna go over. 575 00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:03,600 Speaker 1: You don't think, well, even if they agree to it initially, 576 00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:05,920 Speaker 1: they'll they'll flake on it and cheat on it. It's 577 00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:07,920 Speaker 1: been demonstrated over and over again. Yeah. 578 00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:12,040 Speaker 3: I was listening to I don't remember who, somebody on 579 00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:14,400 Speaker 3: when You're a Table news channel's talking about how Iran 580 00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:18,360 Speaker 3: fought Iraq for ten years and many, many, many many 581 00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:20,680 Speaker 3: people died, but Iran finally got to a point after 582 00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:24,720 Speaker 3: vowing to never surrender where they the Ayahtola actually said, 583 00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:27,560 Speaker 3: this pains me more than anything I've done in my life. 584 00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:29,400 Speaker 3: But the you know, the war must end, and they 585 00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:31,520 Speaker 3: made all kinds of concissions that nobody thought they'd ever 586 00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:33,920 Speaker 3: make to get the war to stop. There is a 587 00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:37,240 Speaker 3: point at where you realize this has got to end. 588 00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:39,959 Speaker 3: And I don't know when you get to that point. 589 00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,960 Speaker 3: Like a whole bunch of bombs going off near government 590 00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:46,240 Speaker 3: installations yesterday in Tehran where you realize I might die 591 00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:50,480 Speaker 3: this week if I don't end this, So then maybe 592 00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:52,280 Speaker 3: you do allow them to go into four to Oho 593 00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:53,320 Speaker 3: and inspect the place. 594 00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:58,480 Speaker 1: I don't know. Well, they're going to find a robust 595 00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:01,600 Speaker 1: industry designed to produced a bomb as quickly as possible, 596 00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:04,320 Speaker 1: and very close to having done so. And then what 597 00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:08,040 Speaker 1: do you do, say, Ah, full we caught you. Then 598 00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:10,680 Speaker 1: go back to Tel Aviv. No, you destroy the place? 599 00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:14,799 Speaker 3: Well, right, but then you've also got the problem of 600 00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:17,879 Speaker 3: is this the only place there might be everybody's talking 601 00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:21,000 Speaker 3: about four to Oho the last nuclear facility that hasn't 602 00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:23,720 Speaker 3: been blown up yet. Well, they might have a facility 603 00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:27,880 Speaker 3: nobody's ever heard of somewhere. Yeah, I doubt it, but 604 00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:32,080 Speaker 3: that is possible, certainly. I thought this was an interesting 605 00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:34,960 Speaker 3: stat around that whole thing. In nineteen ninety, Israel and 606 00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:41,760 Speaker 3: Iran's gdb GDP per capita the average individual salary basically, 607 00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:46,040 Speaker 3: or what you were producing for the country, Israel and 608 00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:48,920 Speaker 3: Iran were close to each other thirteen thousand for Israel 609 00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:52,360 Speaker 3: Iran for ten thousand dollars. They were near. In twenty 610 00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:57,680 Speaker 3: twenty five, Israel's has quadrupled to fifty eight thousand, and 611 00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:00,520 Speaker 3: Iran's has been cut in more than half, down to 612 00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:05,000 Speaker 3: thirty eight hundred. That leads me to believe that there's 613 00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:06,719 Speaker 3: a lot of people on the street that would like 614 00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:07,920 Speaker 3: the current leadership to go. 615 00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:11,399 Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely, I wish I had the quote in front 616 00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:13,920 Speaker 1: of me. I thought it was great that it illustrates 617 00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:20,080 Speaker 1: the problem with giving theocrats in love with the Middle 618 00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:25,960 Speaker 1: Ages the keys to your economy. Right, yeah, just ridiculous. Yeah, 619 00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:30,400 Speaker 1: the Iranian people have been so brutally misserved by the regime, 620 00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:32,760 Speaker 1: just terrible. Do you think Iran would use a nukufa 621 00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:38,359 Speaker 1: had it? Yeah? I did too. I don't know what 622 00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:41,959 Speaker 1: context or when, but yeah, part of the whole death 623 00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:46,080 Speaker 1: to America, death to the Zionists thing is for their 624 00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:50,719 Speaker 1: radical ten twenty fifty percent of their population, but a 625 00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:53,040 Speaker 1: lot of it's sincere sure. And if you go around 626 00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:55,320 Speaker 1: vowing to wipe somebody off the face of the earth 627 00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:57,800 Speaker 1: over and over again for decades and then you achieved 628 00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:00,640 Speaker 1: the means to do that coming. 629 00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:06,759 Speaker 3: Right, And Hamas wasn't joking around obviously in October seventh, right, yeah, 630 00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:09,240 Speaker 3: and this is a this is a blood sport. 631 00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:14,520 Speaker 1: Obviously October seventh illustrated what negotiation will get Israel If 632 00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:14,839 Speaker 1: you miss 633 00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:17,320 Speaker 3: A segment and get the podcast subscribed, Armstrong and Getty 634 00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:22,480 Speaker 3: on demand, Armstrong and Getty
