<v Speaker 1>Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

0:00:06.200 --> 0:00:10.720
<v Speaker 1>Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty arm Strong

0:00:10.800 --> 0:00:17.239
<v Speaker 1>and Jettie and he Armstrong and Yetty.

0:00:23.360 --> 0:00:26.440
<v Speaker 2>The Iranians continue to launch waves and waves of ballistic

0:00:26.480 --> 0:00:29.960
<v Speaker 2>missiles into this country. Overnight, we understand there were sixty

0:00:29.960 --> 0:00:34.280
<v Speaker 2>five missiles and they were targeting a variety of locations.

0:00:34.280 --> 0:00:36.920
<v Speaker 2>We could hear the explosions in Tel Aviv as some

0:00:37.040 --> 0:00:41.440
<v Speaker 2>were intercepted overhead by Israel's advanced missile defense systems.

0:00:41.640 --> 0:00:46.800
<v Speaker 3>And also Saudi Arabia and Jordan helping knock those things down.

0:00:47.640 --> 0:00:50.960
<v Speaker 3>And we're prepared to help if we have to if

0:00:51.000 --> 0:00:54.320
<v Speaker 3>things get really ugly, including we're setting the USS Nimics

0:00:54.720 --> 0:00:58.440
<v Speaker 3>Carrier Strike Group toward the Middle East right now to

0:00:58.680 --> 0:01:02.319
<v Speaker 3>bulk up our ability to help Israel if things get

0:01:02.320 --> 0:01:04.920
<v Speaker 3>worse than they are now, which it's pretty warry now.

0:01:04.959 --> 0:01:07.360
<v Speaker 3>Iran officially declared war the other night.

0:01:08.040 --> 0:01:11.440
<v Speaker 1>Right keeping in mind, and I must state this for

0:01:11.680 --> 0:01:15.080
<v Speaker 1>the fellas and very few women in the Silent Service.

0:01:15.560 --> 0:01:18.520
<v Speaker 1>Anytime we have a couple of submarines in waters within

0:01:18.560 --> 0:01:20.960
<v Speaker 1>a thousand miles, we have one of the strongest militaries

0:01:21.000 --> 0:01:25.120
<v Speaker 1>on Earth poised to unleash Holy Hell. So yeah, it's

0:01:25.560 --> 0:01:32.800
<v Speaker 1>a real show force adding that carrier group to it.

0:01:32.800 --> 0:01:36.440
<v Speaker 1>It's difficult to imagine what the Mullahs think they can

0:01:36.480 --> 0:01:41.280
<v Speaker 1>accomplish by lobbing ordinance at Israel. I guess you have

0:01:41.400 --> 0:01:44.360
<v Speaker 1>to do something. Are they hoping for a lucky hit

0:01:44.480 --> 0:01:49.040
<v Speaker 1>that brings down high rise apartment building or something and

0:01:49.160 --> 0:01:52.680
<v Speaker 1>kill so many people? Israel says, oh no, nope, all

0:01:52.760 --> 0:01:55.160
<v Speaker 1>that stuff about we've got to deny them a nuclear

0:01:55.200 --> 0:01:58.320
<v Speaker 1>weapon and any cost is worth it. We've changed our minds.

0:01:58.440 --> 0:02:01.760
<v Speaker 1>Let's have a peace treaty. I guess that's what they're

0:02:01.760 --> 0:02:02.320
<v Speaker 1>hoping for.

0:02:02.520 --> 0:02:06.320
<v Speaker 3>Supreme Leader Kamani declared war on Israel as Iran's opening

0:02:06.320 --> 0:02:09.560
<v Speaker 3>MISSILESAVO ranged down in television. The Zionist regime made a

0:02:09.560 --> 0:02:12.799
<v Speaker 3>grave mistake, he said in a televised address. Life will

0:02:12.840 --> 0:02:15.640
<v Speaker 3>become bitter for them, without a doubt. They should not

0:02:15.680 --> 0:02:18.320
<v Speaker 3>think they struck in. It's over. No, they started this

0:02:18.400 --> 0:02:20.160
<v Speaker 3>in triggered to war. We will not allow them to

0:02:20.200 --> 0:02:23.000
<v Speaker 3>walk away unscathed from the great crime they have committed.

0:02:23.440 --> 0:02:28.200
<v Speaker 3>And then the plan was apparently to unleash about a thousand.

0:02:29.600 --> 0:02:30.000
<v Speaker 1>Ariel.

0:02:30.160 --> 0:02:35.320
<v Speaker 3>This and that drones and missiles toward Israel. But turns

0:02:35.360 --> 0:02:39.000
<v Speaker 3>out Israel took out a bunch of the missile launchers

0:02:39.480 --> 0:02:42.519
<v Speaker 3>and or the people who would have ordered them launched,

0:02:43.040 --> 0:02:46.000
<v Speaker 3>so the number in the response was way, way, way

0:02:46.000 --> 0:02:48.520
<v Speaker 3>way smaller than the weird beard was open.

0:02:49.120 --> 0:02:54.480
<v Speaker 1>The Zionist regime was not content to just take that blow.

0:02:54.639 --> 0:02:59.200
<v Speaker 1>They As tree Yanks continues, the Empire strikes back.

0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:03.680
<v Speaker 2>The Israelis are striking back, taking out top intelligence officials

0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:07.720
<v Speaker 2>from the Iranian regime, including the country's chief intelligence officer

0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:10.600
<v Speaker 2>and his deputy. They also took out what they say

0:03:10.680 --> 0:03:14.720
<v Speaker 2>are one third of the ballistic missile launching positions, despite

0:03:14.720 --> 0:03:17.640
<v Speaker 2>the fact the Israelis say they now have air superiority

0:03:17.760 --> 0:03:21.080
<v Speaker 2>over the Iranian capital of Tehran. This is expected to

0:03:21.120 --> 0:03:24.079
<v Speaker 2>continue for a number of days, if not weeks, as

0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:27.640
<v Speaker 2>Israeli forces are trying to weaken the Iranian regime and

0:03:27.760 --> 0:03:29.760
<v Speaker 2>target the country's nuclear facilities.

0:03:30.040 --> 0:03:32.560
<v Speaker 3>I saw Tray yingst have to run to a bunker

0:03:32.600 --> 0:03:34.440
<v Speaker 3>over the weekend while he was doing a live report.

0:03:34.480 --> 0:03:37.680
<v Speaker 3>People are dying in Israel, not in large numbers, but

0:03:37.720 --> 0:03:39.120
<v Speaker 3>people are dying and being injured.

0:03:39.640 --> 0:03:42.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Trace a terrific reporter by the way last clip

0:03:42.320 --> 0:03:42.720
<v Speaker 1>from him.

0:03:43.040 --> 0:03:46.320
<v Speaker 2>The assessment is that Iran has around two thousand ballistic missiles,

0:03:46.360 --> 0:03:48.680
<v Speaker 2>and the Israelis have been able to take out some

0:03:48.800 --> 0:03:51.119
<v Speaker 2>of the stockpile. They've been able to target, like I said,

0:03:51.160 --> 0:03:54.520
<v Speaker 2>a third of the launching positions. But this still gives

0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:57.720
<v Speaker 2>around the capability to fire hundreds of ballistic missiles into

0:03:57.720 --> 0:04:00.360
<v Speaker 2>this country. These are not like the rockets that came

0:04:00.400 --> 0:04:02.360
<v Speaker 2>from Gaza or from southern Lebanon.

0:04:02.800 --> 0:04:04.360
<v Speaker 1>These are missiles that can.

0:04:04.240 --> 0:04:07.840
<v Speaker 2>Take out entire blocks in major cities like Tel Aviv.

0:04:10.480 --> 0:04:13.600
<v Speaker 3>Uh it's on, I mean, it is a war. War.

0:04:13.720 --> 0:04:16.400
<v Speaker 3>I thought this was interesting. The Atlantic was talking to

0:04:16.520 --> 0:04:20.560
<v Speaker 3>Donald Trump and making the argument that a lot of

0:04:20.600 --> 0:04:25.080
<v Speaker 3>your base doesn't like to be involved in any of

0:04:25.120 --> 0:04:28.760
<v Speaker 3>these wars. And you ran on America first, and America

0:04:28.960 --> 0:04:32.440
<v Speaker 3>first means not getting, you know, involved in things that

0:04:32.480 --> 0:04:35.320
<v Speaker 3>we have nothing to do with, and Trump said, and

0:04:35.360 --> 0:04:37.560
<v Speaker 3>I thought this was a really good answer to the

0:04:37.560 --> 0:04:41.280
<v Speaker 3>Tucker Carlson crowd, or the Tulsi Gabbard or whoever. Well,

0:04:41.279 --> 0:04:43.599
<v Speaker 3>it's now pretty clear that that Tulsi Gabbard video she

0:04:43.680 --> 0:04:47.159
<v Speaker 3>put out was because she knew as the DNI that

0:04:47.320 --> 0:04:49.599
<v Speaker 3>was all about to go down and she was trying

0:04:49.600 --> 0:04:53.440
<v Speaker 3>to influence her boss, Donald Trump toward you know, not

0:04:53.440 --> 0:04:55.680
<v Speaker 3>getting us involved and worried about nuclear war and that

0:04:55.680 --> 0:04:58.159
<v Speaker 3>sort of stuff, because she's a non interventionist or whatever

0:04:58.200 --> 0:05:00.960
<v Speaker 3>you want to call that crowd. Anyway, Rup said, well,

0:05:01.000 --> 0:05:04.600
<v Speaker 3>considering that I'm the one that developed America first, and

0:05:04.680 --> 0:05:07.680
<v Speaker 3>considering that I invented that term, I think I'm the

0:05:07.680 --> 0:05:10.520
<v Speaker 3>one that decides that. Trump said, for those people who

0:05:10.520 --> 0:05:12.960
<v Speaker 3>say they want peace, you can't have peace if Iran

0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:15.760
<v Speaker 3>has a nuclear weapon. So for all those wonderful people

0:05:15.760 --> 0:05:17.480
<v Speaker 3>who don't want to do anything about Iran having a

0:05:17.560 --> 0:05:18.480
<v Speaker 3>nuclear weapon.

0:05:18.279 --> 0:05:19.080
<v Speaker 1>That's not peace.

0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:22.760
<v Speaker 3>So I like him just stating to that crowd, Well,

0:05:22.920 --> 0:05:25.800
<v Speaker 3>I invented American first, So American first, so I get

0:05:25.800 --> 0:05:29.400
<v Speaker 3>to define it, and my definition is includes Iran not

0:05:29.440 --> 0:05:32.839
<v Speaker 3>getting a nuclear weapon. I really like Rand Paul and

0:05:32.880 --> 0:05:35.440
<v Speaker 3>agree with him on practically everything except for this.

0:05:35.560 --> 0:05:37.520
<v Speaker 1>I think he's a kook on this.

0:05:37.960 --> 0:05:40.680
<v Speaker 3>He was on one of your talk shows yesterday and

0:05:40.760 --> 0:05:44.839
<v Speaker 3>he said, well that he has a weird way of talking.

0:05:44.839 --> 0:05:46.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what that accent is, but.

0:05:47.600 --> 0:05:50.479
<v Speaker 3>He said, people have been debating what is a a

0:05:50.680 --> 0:05:52.360
<v Speaker 3>just war for centuries?

0:05:52.400 --> 0:05:53.880
<v Speaker 1>You know, when do you go to war? When do

0:05:53.920 --> 0:05:54.520
<v Speaker 1>you not go to war?

0:05:54.600 --> 0:05:59.479
<v Speaker 3>He said, But any preemptive or what was it, what's

0:05:59.480 --> 0:06:04.960
<v Speaker 3>the other word, preemptive or when you're trying to stop

0:06:05.000 --> 0:06:09.080
<v Speaker 3>something from happen, preventative? Any preemptive or preventative war is

0:06:09.200 --> 0:06:12.960
<v Speaker 3>not just. This war is not just. I thought, that's

0:06:13.000 --> 0:06:16.560
<v Speaker 3>a crazy standard. So you're gonna get your next let

0:06:16.600 --> 0:06:20.000
<v Speaker 3>your next door neighbor who's been vowing to kill you,

0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:23.640
<v Speaker 3>get the greatest weapon ever developed by man, because if

0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:26.560
<v Speaker 3>I stopped him, that'd be a preventive war, and that's unjust.

0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:28.960
<v Speaker 1>Once he gets the weapon, that's when I'll go to

0:06:29.040 --> 0:06:32.520
<v Speaker 1>war with him, after he's killed me. That's a crazy

0:06:32.560 --> 0:06:34.760
<v Speaker 1>way to look at the world, like you. I love

0:06:34.880 --> 0:06:37.640
<v Speaker 1>rand on domestic politics, but yeah, that's a crack pot

0:06:37.720 --> 0:06:42.400
<v Speaker 1>point of view, honest. Interesting to point out a year

0:06:42.440 --> 0:06:46.640
<v Speaker 1>ago Israel was struggling, bogged down in Gaza, the earlier

0:06:46.839 --> 0:06:52.160
<v Speaker 1>days of it surrounded by hesvelon Hamas, all backed by Iran,

0:06:52.400 --> 0:06:56.360
<v Speaker 1>under pressure from Biden's wi A White House to stop fighting.

0:06:57.000 --> 0:06:59.479
<v Speaker 1>Now it's reshaping the Middle East on its own terms.

0:06:59.560 --> 0:07:02.320
<v Speaker 1>Quoting the Wall Street Journal, down forcing the Trump administration

0:07:02.400 --> 0:07:06.360
<v Speaker 1>to play ketchup kind of Uh. With a series of

0:07:06.480 --> 0:07:11.320
<v Speaker 1>daring intelligence operations and fierce military campaigns, Israel's effectively disabled

0:07:11.760 --> 0:07:15.840
<v Speaker 1>Iranian allies Hamas and Hezbollah, while also prompting the collapse

0:07:15.840 --> 0:07:20.200
<v Speaker 1>of the Asad regime in Syria, an important Iran proxy

0:07:20.240 --> 0:07:22.360
<v Speaker 1>that people don't bring up, and it's now taking the

0:07:22.400 --> 0:07:23.840
<v Speaker 1>fight directly to Tehran.

0:07:24.400 --> 0:07:26.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Mike Cleins brought this up an hour too, and

0:07:26.240 --> 0:07:28.120
<v Speaker 3>if you missed it, you should grab our podcast Armstrong

0:07:28.160 --> 0:07:30.400
<v Speaker 3>and Getty on demand. How this all has played out,

0:07:31.520 --> 0:07:34.760
<v Speaker 3>There's a number of reasons that Iran has no defense

0:07:35.560 --> 0:07:38.040
<v Speaker 3>for what Israel's doing right now. Somewhat it is the

0:07:38.040 --> 0:07:40.640
<v Speaker 3>defense they had got wiped out. But why did it

0:07:40.680 --> 0:07:44.720
<v Speaker 3>get wiped out? Because of October seventh. So October seventh

0:07:45.000 --> 0:07:48.880
<v Speaker 3>was so awful for Israel, but in the weird way

0:07:48.920 --> 0:07:53.520
<v Speaker 3>that history unfolds, it gave Israel the political cover on

0:07:53.560 --> 0:07:57.920
<v Speaker 3>the world stage to hit back. They're internal resolve too,

0:07:58.040 --> 0:08:01.160
<v Speaker 3>and yeah, in the internal politics to allow it to happen.

0:08:02.840 --> 0:08:04.679
<v Speaker 3>And so they wiped out a whole bunch of the defense,

0:08:05.200 --> 0:08:07.720
<v Speaker 3>and then it also allowed them to wipe out Hamas

0:08:08.040 --> 0:08:12.000
<v Speaker 3>and do that attack against Hesbelah, which was part of

0:08:12.040 --> 0:08:15.720
<v Speaker 3>the air defense that Iran had in just that. Hey,

0:08:15.760 --> 0:08:19.040
<v Speaker 3>if you ever strike Tehran, we got bad guys right

0:08:19.080 --> 0:08:21.480
<v Speaker 3>on your border, Hamas and Hesbola that can unleash Hell

0:08:22.120 --> 0:08:24.400
<v Speaker 3>not anymore. So part of their air defense was Hamas

0:08:24.440 --> 0:08:27.400
<v Speaker 3>and Hesbel which got taken out that way. And as

0:08:27.440 --> 0:08:31.000
<v Speaker 3>you already mentioned, Sirius, So that's an interesting development. It's

0:08:31.040 --> 0:08:35.000
<v Speaker 3>so easy, you know the whole We may have lost

0:08:35.040 --> 0:08:38.120
<v Speaker 3>the battle, but will win the war. Is a very

0:08:38.280 --> 0:08:40.560
<v Speaker 3>true statement that you need to look down the road

0:08:40.679 --> 0:08:44.400
<v Speaker 3>of how things will play out, because October seventh was

0:08:44.440 --> 0:08:46.280
<v Speaker 3>a horrible day for Israel, but it has allowed them

0:08:46.320 --> 0:08:48.520
<v Speaker 3>to do all these different things where they might be

0:08:48.520 --> 0:08:51.840
<v Speaker 3>able to take out their greatest enemy on the planet entirely.

0:08:53.360 --> 0:08:56.600
<v Speaker 3>One more note this from Benjamin net and Yahoo, addressing

0:08:56.640 --> 0:08:59.760
<v Speaker 3>the people of Iran. I have no doubt that your

0:08:59.840 --> 0:09:03.160
<v Speaker 3>day of liberation from tyranny is closer than ever. And

0:09:03.200 --> 0:09:06.480
<v Speaker 3>when that happens, Israelis and Iranians will renew the covenant

0:09:06.520 --> 0:09:09.840
<v Speaker 3>between our two ancient nations together will bring a future

0:09:09.880 --> 0:09:14.040
<v Speaker 3>of prosperity, peace and hope. I like that tone.

0:09:14.080 --> 0:09:18.760
<v Speaker 1>I think it could be depending on what takes the

0:09:18.800 --> 0:09:23.080
<v Speaker 1>place of the theocracy, and that's always a messy, messy business.

0:09:23.360 --> 0:09:27.080
<v Speaker 3>According to The New York Times, Israel had the Iotola

0:09:27.200 --> 0:09:29.959
<v Speaker 3>located and the ability to take him out in the

0:09:30.000 --> 0:09:32.160
<v Speaker 3>same way that they've taken out you know, the leaders

0:09:32.200 --> 0:09:34.720
<v Speaker 3>of all these different things and scientists and blah blah blah.

0:09:34.760 --> 0:09:36.920
<v Speaker 3>They've killed a whole bunch of people. They knew where

0:09:36.960 --> 0:09:43.120
<v Speaker 3>the Ayatola was, they had whatever technology they needed to

0:09:43.200 --> 0:09:46.640
<v Speaker 3>kill him. And Trump said no one talked him out

0:09:46.640 --> 0:09:48.360
<v Speaker 3>of it. So I don't know if that's true or not.

0:09:48.400 --> 0:09:51.600
<v Speaker 1>But a word from our friends and sponsors a trust

0:09:51.800 --> 0:09:56.160
<v Speaker 1>and will and then back into it, including the great

0:09:56.200 --> 0:10:00.000
<v Speaker 1>Douglas Murray from yester year explaining exactly what would happen.

0:10:00.120 --> 0:10:04.960
<v Speaker 1>And just had a conversation with a young legal intern,

0:10:05.080 --> 0:10:10.040
<v Speaker 1>not my daughter, talking about the chaos that ensues when

0:10:10.080 --> 0:10:14.000
<v Speaker 1>there's not a trust and or will for your inheritance.

0:10:14.320 --> 0:10:16.840
<v Speaker 1>It can be uglier than you imagine.

0:10:16.880 --> 0:10:19.120
<v Speaker 3>Don't do that to your family and last for years

0:10:19.160 --> 0:10:21.280
<v Speaker 3>and be very expensive. This is only it starts at

0:10:21.280 --> 0:10:23.360

0:10:36.320 --> 0:10:38.320
<v Speaker 3>but you're just filling in all kinds of different information.

0:10:38.720 --> 0:10:42.560
<v Speaker 3>It's built to have to honor the laws of your

0:10:42.640 --> 0:10:48.160
<v Speaker 3>state wherever you're living, right, prevent the chaos to do this.

0:10:48.480 --> 0:10:49.680

0:11:01.800 --> 0:11:03.360
<v Speaker 3>Do you want to do, Doug Murray, because it's so

0:11:03.400 --> 0:11:05.360
<v Speaker 3>good when we come back and have time to love

0:11:05.400 --> 0:11:11.640
<v Speaker 3>that idea discuss. I think it's really interesting that Trump

0:11:11.679 --> 0:11:14.560
<v Speaker 3>came out and said, look, America first is what I

0:11:14.600 --> 0:11:15.120
<v Speaker 3>say it is.

0:11:15.160 --> 0:11:15.959
<v Speaker 1>I invented it.

0:11:16.440 --> 0:11:19.320
<v Speaker 3>So I think this is included in that that that's

0:11:19.360 --> 0:11:22.760
<v Speaker 3>a pretty good pushback against the Tulser Tulsi Tucker crowd.

0:11:23.120 --> 0:11:25.400
<v Speaker 1>Well, and I'm heartin just because I agree with them.

0:11:25.520 --> 0:11:28.160
<v Speaker 1>I say, speaking of Mike Lyons, why don't we give

0:11:28.240 --> 0:11:31.600
<v Speaker 1>him the last word? Clip fifty seven Michael from just

0:11:31.640 --> 0:11:32.360
<v Speaker 1>earlier today.

0:11:32.600 --> 0:11:35.000
<v Speaker 4>And this is a generational moment, and I think we've

0:11:35.000 --> 0:11:36.839
<v Speaker 4>got to take advantage of it in the United States

0:11:36.920 --> 0:11:39.720
<v Speaker 4>right now. And I understand about America First policy, but

0:11:39.760 --> 0:11:42.920
<v Speaker 4>it clearly, as the President has now said, this isn't

0:11:42.920 --> 0:11:45.720
<v Speaker 4>our best interest to make sure the Ranians have nowhere

0:11:45.880 --> 0:11:49.000
<v Speaker 4>near any kind of nuclear capability. And Israel is just

0:11:49.040 --> 0:11:51.200
<v Speaker 4>not satisfied with just kicking the can down the road.

0:11:54.760 --> 0:11:55.560
<v Speaker 1>This is a big deal.

0:11:55.760 --> 0:11:57.640
<v Speaker 3>This war in the Middle East is a big deal,

0:11:57.640 --> 0:12:00.680
<v Speaker 3>and it is a war and we're I'm not super

0:12:00.679 --> 0:12:05.880
<v Speaker 3>involved in it yet and hopefully we will not be. Oh,

0:12:05.920 --> 0:12:08.000
<v Speaker 3>nobody alerted Joe to the fact that he needs to

0:12:08.000 --> 0:12:12.319
<v Speaker 3>come into the studio. Hopefully we'll walk in the door here. Shortly,

0:12:13.240 --> 0:12:15.160
<v Speaker 3>Joe has walked in the door and it joins us. Now,

0:12:15.240 --> 0:12:15.680
<v Speaker 3>Joe Getty.

0:12:15.760 --> 0:12:18.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, ladies and gentlemen, what I was.

0:12:18.880 --> 0:12:20.320
<v Speaker 3>Just setting up the fact that we are at war

0:12:20.360 --> 0:12:21.960
<v Speaker 3>in the Middle East and it's a very, very big deal.

0:12:22.559 --> 0:12:26.880
<v Speaker 1>I agree with that. Douglas Murray, the fabulous British thinker,

0:12:27.360 --> 0:12:29.880
<v Speaker 1>gave this speech. I believe it was thirteen years ago.

0:12:30.160 --> 0:12:33.120
<v Speaker 1>He was right then, he is right now. Let's hit it, Michael.

0:12:33.520 --> 0:12:36.280
<v Speaker 5>When Israel he is pushed to.

0:12:36.240 --> 0:12:39.680
<v Speaker 6>The situation, it will be pushed to of having to

0:12:39.760 --> 0:12:43.600
<v Speaker 6>believe they mean it. And when every bit of jiggery

0:12:43.640 --> 0:12:46.160
<v Speaker 6>pokery behind the scenes runs out, and when the un

0:12:46.200 --> 0:12:49.760
<v Speaker 6>and distinguished figures have run out of time and Iran

0:12:50.080 --> 0:12:52.600
<v Speaker 6>is about to produce his first.

0:12:52.280 --> 0:12:54.880
<v Speaker 5>Bomb, Israel will strike.

0:12:56.120 --> 0:13:00.760
<v Speaker 6>Every single country, including this one. People from a elegant service,

0:13:01.440 --> 0:13:06.880
<v Speaker 6>people from America. Everyone will condemn Israel. Everyone in the

0:13:06.880 --> 0:13:11.920
<v Speaker 6>Middle East will condemn Israel, and they will go back

0:13:12.040 --> 0:13:15.120
<v Speaker 6>to their homes and they will say in private, thank

0:13:15.320 --> 0:13:22.280
<v Speaker 6>God for Israel. The Saudis, the Bahrainis, the Egyptians, the Libyans,

0:13:22.640 --> 0:13:26.200
<v Speaker 6>the Lebanese, everybody will say thank God they did it,

0:13:26.720 --> 0:13:28.560
<v Speaker 6>because nobody else would.

0:13:30.840 --> 0:13:35.079
<v Speaker 1>Everybody knows Israel has the most at stake in preventing

0:13:35.200 --> 0:13:39.160
<v Speaker 1>Iran from having nukes, and everybody's known for a very

0:13:39.200 --> 0:13:42.760
<v Speaker 1>long time, as Murray put it so eloquently, that they

0:13:42.800 --> 0:13:47.280
<v Speaker 1>would make sure there won't happen. And so everybody else

0:13:47.360 --> 0:13:51.679
<v Speaker 1>had the lovely and still has the lovely luxury of

0:13:51.720 --> 0:13:58.280
<v Speaker 1>saying where against violence and for diplomacy. Israel, with their

0:13:58.400 --> 0:14:01.079
<v Speaker 1>violence in the attacks I want to approve. And then

0:14:01.080 --> 0:14:02.880
<v Speaker 1>they go to their homes and say, thank God they

0:14:02.920 --> 0:14:03.160
<v Speaker 1>did it.

0:14:03.440 --> 0:14:03.640
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:14:03.679 --> 0:14:05.240
<v Speaker 3>I saw a number of people over the week and

0:14:05.240 --> 0:14:09.280
<v Speaker 3>say this really sets back the ability to negotiate. Actually,

0:14:09.360 --> 0:14:11.959
<v Speaker 3>Ran Paul said that among other people here we were

0:14:11.960 --> 0:14:14.200
<v Speaker 3>in the midst of negotiations in Israel, did this.

0:14:14.280 --> 0:14:17.920
<v Speaker 1>This is not helpful at all. You're in You're nuts. Wow, Wow,

0:14:18.000 --> 0:14:21.920
<v Speaker 1>that is just delusional. Let's go roll on with mister Murray.

0:14:22.160 --> 0:14:25.840
<v Speaker 6>The proposition being put before you tonight is that you

0:14:25.920 --> 0:14:28.600
<v Speaker 6>have a choice between war.

0:14:30.000 --> 0:14:32.440
<v Speaker 5>And an Iran with the bomb.

0:14:33.600 --> 0:14:36.000
<v Speaker 6>You have a choice, as has been said before, between

0:14:36.040 --> 0:14:38.400
<v Speaker 6>war and dishonor you'll choose disnor this evening and you'll

0:14:38.400 --> 0:14:38.880
<v Speaker 6>get war.

0:14:40.120 --> 0:14:42.760
<v Speaker 5>You have the choice between a war.

0:14:43.080 --> 0:14:47.280
<v Speaker 6>With a nuclear Iran or a war at some point

0:14:47.800 --> 0:14:51.080
<v Speaker 6>with an Iran that is not nuclear, which you stop from.

0:14:50.920 --> 0:14:53.520
<v Speaker 5>Ever being nuclear, and hope.

0:14:53.680 --> 0:14:57.520
<v Speaker 6>That in stopping that regime in embedding itself, you will

0:14:57.560 --> 0:14:59.960
<v Speaker 6>give the Iranian people the best chance.

0:14:59.680 --> 0:15:02.120
<v Speaker 5>They will have of overthrowing that regime.

0:15:02.160 --> 0:15:06.320
<v Speaker 6>But as I say, thank God, this doesn't rely on

0:15:06.360 --> 0:15:09.920
<v Speaker 6>you or any Europeans, because you've made the same mistake

0:15:09.960 --> 0:15:12.160
<v Speaker 6>before and nobody should trust you to get it right

0:15:12.200 --> 0:15:13.600
<v Speaker 6>this time.

0:15:20.760 --> 0:15:22.880
<v Speaker 3>So it was in nineteen eighty one that Israel took

0:15:22.880 --> 0:15:25.720
<v Speaker 3>out a nuclear facility. At that time was who was

0:15:25.720 --> 0:15:27.360
<v Speaker 3>it the Iraqis that were getting close to having a

0:15:27.400 --> 0:15:32.440
<v Speaker 3>nuclear weapon, and it was Prime Minister Monachem Began at

0:15:32.480 --> 0:15:35.600
<v Speaker 3>the time who made that call. And Reagan said that

0:15:35.600 --> 0:15:38.960
<v Speaker 3>that was awful and just just like Douglas morilated, the whole.

0:15:38.720 --> 0:15:40.920
<v Speaker 1>World condemned it. And then.

0:15:42.240 --> 0:15:44.920
<v Speaker 3>Prime Minister Began, after his office out of office, was

0:15:44.960 --> 0:15:48.040
<v Speaker 3>given the Medal of Freedom by Dick Cheney years later

0:15:48.120 --> 0:15:51.120
<v Speaker 3>because in reality, behind closed doors, we were happier than

0:15:51.160 --> 0:15:53.200
<v Speaker 3>hell that Israel did what had to be done.

0:15:53.960 --> 0:15:58.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'm cynical enough to get how domestic politics influence

0:15:58.760 --> 0:16:02.760
<v Speaker 1>the pronouncements you make about foreign relations, even if behind

0:16:02.800 --> 0:16:06.920
<v Speaker 1>the scenes your actual policies are very different than the pronouncements.

0:16:06.960 --> 0:16:10.320
<v Speaker 1>But it's just I get sick of it, you know.

0:16:10.560 --> 0:16:15.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm just it's so obvious. If it's obvious to Austin

0:16:15.320 --> 0:16:17.640
<v Speaker 1>Douglas Murray, I mean, it's obvious to a lot of

0:16:17.720 --> 0:16:21.680
<v Speaker 1>people what's going on now. I understand why Mohammed Bien

0:16:21.840 --> 0:16:26.120
<v Speaker 1>Solomon has to pretend for the quote unquote Arab street.

0:16:26.240 --> 0:16:28.680
<v Speaker 1>You remember when that was a popular term. Anyway, I

0:16:28.680 --> 0:16:30.800
<v Speaker 1>get why he has to pretend to condemn it and

0:16:30.840 --> 0:16:35.920
<v Speaker 1>the rest of it. But our leaders, please just so phony.

0:16:36.960 --> 0:16:39.360
<v Speaker 1>Our executive producer Mike Hanson has come up with a

0:16:39.400 --> 0:16:42.560
<v Speaker 1>good idea we start using Britney spears as a national

0:16:42.640 --> 0:16:46.200
<v Speaker 1>barometer of how crazy things are getting in what sense

0:16:46.480 --> 0:16:50.640
<v Speaker 1>We'll explain that coming up a little bit. But I think, okay, yeah,

0:16:50.680 --> 0:16:51.880
<v Speaker 1>I think it's gonna work pretty well.

0:16:51.920 --> 0:16:54.840
<v Speaker 3>Actually, it's like it's like the rainbow at Doom, you know,

0:16:54.880 --> 0:16:57.360
<v Speaker 3>where it's stage orange or something like that, where it's

0:16:57.400 --> 0:17:00.960
<v Speaker 3>stage Britney dancing. Crazy is is when things are getting

0:17:00.960 --> 0:17:02.800
<v Speaker 3>out of control. She's a national barometer.

0:17:03.440 --> 0:17:06.680
<v Speaker 1>And of course when we're at the dancing with knives, yes,

0:17:07.080 --> 0:17:09.440
<v Speaker 1>point on the scale then you know, run for your lives,

0:17:09.440 --> 0:17:11.359
<v Speaker 1>hold your deer ones close.

0:17:11.480 --> 0:17:15.359
<v Speaker 3>Yes, things have gotten really out of control. We have

0:17:15.440 --> 0:17:17.760
<v Speaker 3>much more news that we need to get to on

0:17:17.800 --> 0:17:18.720
<v Speaker 3>a variety.

0:17:18.320 --> 0:17:21.960
<v Speaker 1>Of fronts, including the fact that the President of Argentina

0:17:22.520 --> 0:17:26.080
<v Speaker 1>gave a nineteen dollars gift to Pope Leo, which might

0:17:26.119 --> 0:17:29.320
<v Speaker 1>be the best gift he could possibly give him. Ninety

0:17:29.359 --> 0:17:32.240
<v Speaker 1>brillion dollars. I can't imagine what they would be. That's

0:17:32.280 --> 0:17:37.440
<v Speaker 1>a rough figure. Check your local listings. Also Astute Armstrong

0:17:37.440 --> 0:17:41.119
<v Speaker 1>and Getty Listener pointing out and I hope our authorities

0:17:41.160 --> 0:17:45.760
<v Speaker 1>are way ahead of us on this. The nexus between

0:17:45.840 --> 0:17:54.920
<v Speaker 1>the Ukrainian built drone farms inside of Russia and China's

0:17:54.960 --> 0:17:59.080
<v Speaker 1>aggressively buying up land in the United States. What are

0:17:59.119 --> 0:18:00.480
<v Speaker 1>they doing with that land?

0:18:01.400 --> 0:18:03.320
<v Speaker 3>I saw a map of how much land they own

0:18:03.520 --> 0:18:05.040
<v Speaker 3>in the United States, agricultural land.

0:18:05.040 --> 0:18:08.040
<v Speaker 5>It was shocking Armstrong and Getty.

0:18:09.000 --> 0:18:11.119
<v Speaker 7>But Israel has had it up to here with fighting

0:18:11.160 --> 0:18:16.240
<v Speaker 7>Iran's proxies, and the giant raid on Iran on their

0:18:16.240 --> 0:18:19.840
<v Speaker 7>military facilities, on their nuclear facilities, killed their top three

0:18:20.080 --> 0:18:25.080
<v Speaker 7>military commanders. Predictably, Hesballah, that's one of Iran's proxies. They

0:18:25.119 --> 0:18:27.879
<v Speaker 7>condemned the attack and they said they were awaiting instructions

0:18:27.920 --> 0:18:28.760
<v Speaker 7>and how to respond.

0:18:29.400 --> 0:18:34.560
<v Speaker 1>Check your pagers, guys. Now.

0:18:36.080 --> 0:18:38.640
<v Speaker 3>Crowd applauds like crazy, which is kind of interesting because

0:18:38.680 --> 0:18:42.640
<v Speaker 3>I was everybody who has thought this not an original thought.

0:18:42.840 --> 0:18:44.920
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if I've ever had an original thought.

0:18:44.920 --> 0:18:48.880
<v Speaker 3>But I'd like to go to a parallel universe where

0:18:48.960 --> 0:18:51.760
<v Speaker 3>Kamala Harris won the presidential election and see how she

0:18:51.800 --> 0:18:54.879
<v Speaker 3>would be dealing with this whole thing between Israel and Iran.

0:18:54.960 --> 0:18:57.119
<v Speaker 3>You know that she would be daily lecturing Israel and

0:18:57.119 --> 0:18:58.480
<v Speaker 3>telling them they need to stop.

0:19:00.000 --> 0:19:03.919
<v Speaker 1>Responding to her wokeust you know, fifteen percent of supporters,

0:19:04.119 --> 0:19:08.119
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure. Yeah, I'm slightly ashamed that I didn't think

0:19:08.160 --> 0:19:11.280
<v Speaker 1>of this myself, But it's a lot going on in

0:19:11.320 --> 0:19:18.080
<v Speaker 1>the world these days. Regular correspondent to JT in Livermore, California, Guys,

0:19:18.080 --> 0:19:21.200
<v Speaker 1>if China can build secret prisons within the US, they're

0:19:21.240 --> 0:19:25.480
<v Speaker 1>more like police stations with holding cells. But yeah, you

0:19:25.600 --> 0:19:27.840
<v Speaker 1>know they're going to be building drone armies here in

0:19:27.880 --> 0:19:30.880
<v Speaker 1>the US, maybe stored on those properties they're buying next

0:19:30.920 --> 0:19:36.560
<v Speaker 1>to military bases. We hope they haven't already. Well, right, Obviously,

0:19:36.800 --> 0:19:39.680
<v Speaker 1>the spring board of this is the knowledge that Ukraine

0:19:39.720 --> 0:19:42.879
<v Speaker 1>had facilities within Russia in which they were constructing and

0:19:43.160 --> 0:19:48.200
<v Speaker 1>or storing drones and waiting for the right moment to attack.

0:19:49.160 --> 0:19:53.240
<v Speaker 1>And JT helpfully sent along a link to an article

0:19:53.320 --> 0:19:56.440
<v Speaker 1>I believe we talked about at the time. Maps show

0:19:56.520 --> 0:20:00.479
<v Speaker 1>Chinese owned farmland next to nineteen US military bases, an

0:20:00.520 --> 0:20:04.960
<v Speaker 1>alarming threat to national security. Even if they hadn't come

0:20:05.040 --> 0:20:08.240
<v Speaker 1>up with that plan prior to what Ukraine did and

0:20:08.240 --> 0:20:13.080
<v Speaker 1>what Israel just did, they started a week ago, they're

0:20:13.119 --> 0:20:17.520
<v Speaker 1>doing it now. The New York Post identified nineteen bases

0:20:17.520 --> 0:20:20.240
<v Speaker 1>across the US from Florida, Hawaii to Hawaii, which were

0:20:20.240 --> 0:20:23.280
<v Speaker 1>in close proximity to land bought by Chinese entities and

0:20:23.320 --> 0:20:25.880
<v Speaker 1>could be exploited by spies working for the communist nation.

0:20:26.119 --> 0:20:29.479
<v Speaker 1>And if they can be, they will be. You know,

0:20:29.640 --> 0:20:32.600
<v Speaker 1>get that tattooed somewhere where you can look at it regularly.

0:20:34.320 --> 0:20:38.640
<v Speaker 1>If the Chinese communists can use a capability against us,

0:20:38.960 --> 0:20:40.240
<v Speaker 1>they will use it.

0:20:40.800 --> 0:20:42.560
<v Speaker 3>Just the question of when I gotta admit if I

0:20:42.600 --> 0:20:44.480
<v Speaker 3>ever took off my shirt and someone said, what does

0:20:44.480 --> 0:20:46.720
<v Speaker 3>that to tattoos say? And I say it says if

0:20:46.720 --> 0:20:50.520
<v Speaker 3>the Chinese government can exploit a situation, they will.

0:20:50.720 --> 0:20:54.440
<v Speaker 1>That's your tattoo. Yes, I just don't want to forget it,

0:20:55.200 --> 0:20:59.959
<v Speaker 1>don't just Robert Spaulding retired to US State's Air Force,

0:21:00.080 --> 0:21:04.159
<v Speaker 1>Spriggadier jenneral Brigadier general, who's work focused on US gene relation.

0:21:04.280 --> 0:21:06.960
<v Speaker 1>Still the post it's concerning due to the proximity of

0:21:07.040 --> 0:21:14.960
<v Speaker 1>its strategic or to our strategic location. We are a big, rich,

0:21:15.200 --> 0:21:18.760
<v Speaker 1>naive moron as a country in a lot of ways.

0:21:20.440 --> 0:21:22.880
<v Speaker 1>Contrast that with Israel, if you will, oh, speaking of which,

0:21:22.920 --> 0:21:25.360
<v Speaker 1>on a similar theme, I was thinking of going into

0:21:25.400 --> 0:21:29.440
<v Speaker 1>this in a playful way. Uh, you know, maybe I will?

0:21:30.400 --> 0:21:36.600
<v Speaker 1>All right, go ahead? What is the app Tamu's business?

0:21:36.640 --> 0:21:39.639
<v Speaker 1>Is it Timu or tamu U Katie? Do you know

0:21:39.760 --> 0:21:42.240
<v Speaker 1>t e m U? I've heard it both ways. I

0:21:42.280 --> 0:21:47.520
<v Speaker 1>say team Timu. Okay, fire enough. What is Tmu's real business? Business?

0:21:47.560 --> 0:21:52.480
<v Speaker 3>Okay, hang on, now there's more. What is TikTok's real business?

0:21:53.560 --> 0:21:54.439
<v Speaker 3>There's one more for you.

0:21:54.760 --> 0:21:59.800
<v Speaker 1>It's Shine right, that's the cheap clothing. What is Shines

0:22:00.040 --> 0:22:02.080
<v Speaker 1>real business? I've never even heard of that one? Or

0:22:02.119 --> 0:22:07.400
<v Speaker 1>here's Pin Duo Duo. What is that app's real business?

0:22:07.680 --> 0:22:11.479
<v Speaker 3>A trick question. The answer for all of them is

0:22:11.680 --> 0:22:16.760
<v Speaker 3>collecting your data. They include a service along with that.

0:22:16.760 --> 0:22:20.560
<v Speaker 3>That's why you download the app. They are data collection

0:22:20.800 --> 0:22:26.040
<v Speaker 3>and surveillance apps for instant They all Chinese, Yeah, okay,

0:22:26.800 --> 0:22:29.879
<v Speaker 3>for instance Pindo, although certainly the Chinese are not the

0:22:29.880 --> 0:22:31.960
<v Speaker 3>only voracious collectors of data.

0:22:32.000 --> 0:22:37.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean, Mark Zuckerberg, please the data da Timu and

0:22:38.080 --> 0:22:41.280
<v Speaker 1>Pin Duo Duo represent themselves as e commerce apps that

0:22:41.320 --> 0:22:44.720
<v Speaker 1>offer in inexpensive merchandise, but they're also in the business

0:22:44.760 --> 0:22:50.120
<v Speaker 1>of data collection. The lawsuit filed by Attorney General Mike

0:22:50.240 --> 0:22:56.440
<v Speaker 1>Hilgers of Nebraska. UH says, according to an IT security

0:22:56.640 --> 0:23:00.639
<v Speaker 1>report firm report, Pinduo Duo requests is man is eighty

0:23:00.760 --> 0:23:06.240
<v Speaker 1>three permissions, including access to biometrics, Bluetooth, Wi Fi network information,

0:23:06.680 --> 0:23:14.240
<v Speaker 1>and well obviously seventy or eighty more things. As an aside,

0:23:15.119 --> 0:23:18.119
<v Speaker 1>why is TikTok still happening in America? Mister president? That

0:23:18.359 --> 0:23:21.480
<v Speaker 1>good because they gave you a big giant contribution to

0:23:21.520 --> 0:23:26.480
<v Speaker 1>your your campaign or your inauguration. Them and their lobbyists

0:23:26.520 --> 0:23:29.760
<v Speaker 1>are paying off the administration get rid of TikTok. Congress

0:23:29.760 --> 0:23:30.800
<v Speaker 1>passed the law. It's time.

0:23:32.520 --> 0:23:34.399
<v Speaker 3>Isn't there a way for since Congress did pass a

0:23:34.440 --> 0:23:39.040
<v Speaker 3>lot to force the executive to do what you're supposed

0:23:39.080 --> 0:23:39.639
<v Speaker 3>to do legally.

0:23:40.560 --> 0:23:44.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, somebody's gotta like prove standing and that they've been

0:23:44.520 --> 0:23:47.160
<v Speaker 1>damaged by it and go to the courts. I guess

0:23:47.400 --> 0:23:50.240
<v Speaker 1>you'd think there'd be kind of a blanket. The law

0:23:50.359 --> 0:23:53.800
<v Speaker 1>said that and it's not happening lawsuit that you could

0:23:53.840 --> 0:24:00.560
<v Speaker 1>file an ex post mirand or corpus loss it or something.

0:24:00.560 --> 0:24:04.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, but crazy. UH. An investigation found by

0:24:04.960 --> 0:24:07.959
<v Speaker 1>Montana found that the team app is designed to hide

0:24:08.119 --> 0:24:12.160
<v Speaker 1>its collection of sensitive information from users and from any

0:24:12.240 --> 0:24:16.000
<v Speaker 1>researcher who might be investigating the app's functionality. That's part

0:24:16.040 --> 0:24:18.840
<v Speaker 1>of its programming is to hide what it is doing.

0:24:20.119 --> 0:24:20.399
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

0:24:20.560 --> 0:24:24.120
<v Speaker 1>Timu also has code that quote allows it to reconfigure

0:24:24.160 --> 0:24:27.480
<v Speaker 1>itself after being downloaded. What do you use t move for?

0:24:28.800 --> 0:24:32.320
<v Speaker 1>What's it? It's a what dental hygiene?

0:24:32.480 --> 0:24:32.560
<v Speaker 5>Uh?

0:24:32.640 --> 0:24:33.719
<v Speaker 1>What do you use for?

0:24:33.840 --> 0:24:34.000
<v Speaker 2>You know?

0:24:34.840 --> 0:24:37.120
<v Speaker 1>You can you can buy anything on it. It's it's

0:24:37.160 --> 0:24:39.840
<v Speaker 1>like China's Amazon. Oh okay, then why.

0:24:39.640 --> 0:24:41.040
<v Speaker 3>Do we use in the United States Because there's just

0:24:41.040 --> 0:24:43.480
<v Speaker 3>a lot of cheap crap on it, super cheap okay,

0:24:43.560 --> 0:24:47.000
<v Speaker 3>yeah wow, yeah wow. They are really hoisting us on

0:24:47.040 --> 0:24:50.600
<v Speaker 3>our own petards with the whole we like cheap crap. Okay,

0:24:50.640 --> 0:24:52.879
<v Speaker 3>so we'll develop an app that can spy on every

0:24:52.880 --> 0:24:55.400
<v Speaker 3>single American in the United States who wants to buy

0:24:55.440 --> 0:24:58.679
<v Speaker 3>extra cheap crap. And uh, they're so hungry for their

0:24:58.760 --> 0:25:01.240
<v Speaker 3>cheap crap and it what is crap most of it,

0:25:02.560 --> 0:25:04.600
<v Speaker 3>that they'll allow us to spy.

0:25:04.359 --> 0:25:07.800
<v Speaker 1>On everybody, right exactly, And keep in mind what I

0:25:07.880 --> 0:25:11.680
<v Speaker 1>just said. Temu has code that allows it to reconfigure

0:25:11.720 --> 0:25:15.320
<v Speaker 1>itself after you download it, so it becomes something different

0:25:15.400 --> 0:25:19.680
<v Speaker 1>than you downloaded. Blah blah blah. This is the part

0:25:19.720 --> 0:25:22.560
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to get to. The fear is that consumer

0:25:22.600 --> 0:25:25.040
<v Speaker 1>products marketed on Timu are the bait to get Americans

0:25:25.080 --> 0:25:27.000
<v Speaker 1>to download an app that gives the company and thereby

0:25:27.040 --> 0:25:29.960
<v Speaker 1>the Communist party, access to personal data, location tracking, and

0:25:30.000 --> 0:25:34.440
<v Speaker 1>other sensitive information. Article seven of the National Intelligence Law

0:25:34.560 --> 0:25:37.919
<v Speaker 1>of China is the Chinese communists on their own. You know,

0:25:38.119 --> 0:25:41.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm tempted to dig up that great piece we had

0:25:41.880 --> 0:25:45.119
<v Speaker 1>by was it? Oh? No, no, no, no. Who is

0:25:45.160 --> 0:25:48.320
<v Speaker 1>the guy who wrote ah? His name is flitted out

0:25:48.359 --> 0:25:48.720
<v Speaker 1>of my head?

0:25:48.880 --> 0:25:55.560
<v Speaker 3>An unbelievable piece quoting Chinese Intelligence Service officials on how

0:25:55.760 --> 0:26:00.000
<v Speaker 3>valuable a resource TikTok is. It quoted them chapter and verse,

0:26:00.359 --> 0:26:04.800
<v Speaker 3>quote after quote after quote from internal memorandum and meetings

0:26:04.920 --> 0:26:08.120
<v Speaker 3>where the Chinese intelligence services said, wow, TikTok is.

0:26:08.080 --> 0:26:11.120
<v Speaker 1>An unbelievable boon to what we're doing. But anyway, here's

0:26:11.200 --> 0:26:14.320
<v Speaker 1>Article seven of the National Intelligence Law of China. Quote.

0:26:14.359 --> 0:26:18.679
<v Speaker 1>Any organization or citizen shall support, assist, and cooperate with

0:26:18.760 --> 0:26:21.840
<v Speaker 1>the state intelligence work in accordance with the law, and

0:26:21.920 --> 0:26:25.120
<v Speaker 1>keep the secrets of the national intelligence work from becoming

0:26:25.200 --> 0:26:28.600
<v Speaker 1>known to the public. They are bound by law to

0:26:28.680 --> 0:26:34.719
<v Speaker 1>report anything that Chinese communists want to know. Well, we're fools,

0:26:35.359 --> 0:26:38.480
<v Speaker 1>we are, we want we freaking are. That's very maddening.

0:26:39.480 --> 0:26:44.800
<v Speaker 1>I know, you know, we've said enough. When when the

0:26:44.840 --> 0:26:48.679
<v Speaker 1>poo hits the fan in whatever shape or array of

0:26:49.640 --> 0:26:53.600
<v Speaker 1>flung poo results, everybody will say, how did that happen?

0:26:53.880 --> 0:26:57.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't. Will I be some some sort of grimly

0:26:58.000 --> 0:27:01.879
<v Speaker 1>satisfied now I want to be horror. No, just horrified.

0:27:02.160 --> 0:27:06.639
<v Speaker 1>On a cheerier note, love this, Andy Kessler, writing in

0:27:06.640 --> 0:27:13.160
<v Speaker 1>the Journal Javier Milay's gift for Pope Leo. On June

0:27:13.200 --> 0:27:17.240
<v Speaker 1>the seventh, the new Pope, the Chicago Guy, met with

0:27:17.440 --> 0:27:22.520
<v Speaker 1>Argentine President j Javier Malay at the Vatican. Malay gave

0:27:22.600 --> 0:27:26.879
<v Speaker 1>the pope a historical document from sixteen forty two cool

0:27:27.400 --> 0:27:32.280
<v Speaker 1>a hand woven vicunya poncho. Oh that's a guard. Oh

0:27:32.480 --> 0:27:35.840
<v Speaker 1>did you got your machine woven vicunya? Please throw it

0:27:35.840 --> 0:27:40.040
<v Speaker 1>in the trash. You're hand woven gorgeous. And he also

0:27:40.160 --> 0:27:43.880
<v Speaker 1>gave him Friedrich Hayek's book from nineteen eighty eight, The

0:27:43.920 --> 0:27:48.240
<v Speaker 1>Fatal Conceit The Errors of Socialism. The book costs less

0:27:48.280 --> 0:27:50.679
<v Speaker 1>than nineteen dollars on Amazon, but It was the most

0:27:50.840 --> 0:27:54.600
<v Speaker 1>valuable gift, says Kessler, and he explains with some just

0:27:54.840 --> 0:27:57.400
<v Speaker 1>fabulous quotes from the book, which I need to read.

0:27:57.440 --> 0:27:59.120
<v Speaker 1>I've written quotes from it in my whole life.

0:27:59.119 --> 0:28:04.199
<v Speaker 3>But high K's fatal conceit is that quote man is

0:28:04.280 --> 0:28:06.960
<v Speaker 3>able to shape the world around him according.

0:28:06.560 --> 0:28:10.720
<v Speaker 1>To his wishes. That is the fatal conceit of humans.

0:28:11.200 --> 0:28:15.879
<v Speaker 1>It's a hearty defense of free markets and of classical liberalism,

0:28:16.000 --> 0:28:18.959
<v Speaker 1>and Kessler mentions that his friend and colleague Matthew Hennessy

0:28:19.040 --> 0:28:22.040
<v Speaker 1>got taken the task by Vice President Vance for defending

0:28:22.080 --> 0:28:25.440
<v Speaker 1>free markets. On these pages. In twenty twenty five, Hyak

0:28:25.520 --> 0:28:28.480
<v Speaker 1>pounds home the point that markets are about price discovery,

0:28:28.760 --> 0:28:32.600
<v Speaker 1>wealth creation. Quote is determined not by objective physical facts

0:28:32.880 --> 0:28:35.920
<v Speaker 1>known to any one mind, but by the separate differing

0:28:36.040 --> 0:28:40.160
<v Speaker 1>information of millions, which is precipitated in prices that serve

0:28:40.320 --> 0:28:44.360
<v Speaker 1>to guide further decisions. Catch that by buying and selling

0:28:44.360 --> 0:28:46.720
<v Speaker 1>in free markets to determined prices, you and I and

0:28:46.880 --> 0:28:50.320
<v Speaker 1>millions who are connected but only by signals resulting from

0:28:50.320 --> 0:28:54.640
<v Speaker 1>long and infinitely ramified chains of trade, we drive the economy,

0:28:54.640 --> 0:28:56.760
<v Speaker 1>and we do it better than self selecting know it

0:28:56.800 --> 0:28:58.840
<v Speaker 1>alls who really know nothing.

0:28:59.840 --> 0:29:02.640
<v Speaker 3>He gave that book to the pope. He did because

0:29:02.680 --> 0:29:04.840
<v Speaker 3>he thinks the pope or popes tend to lean a

0:29:04.840 --> 0:29:05.840
<v Speaker 3>little too socialist.

0:29:06.480 --> 0:29:08.720
<v Speaker 1>Yes, indeed, I think that was his purpose. Let me

0:29:08.760 --> 0:29:10.520
<v Speaker 1>hit you with one or two more quotes from Hayek.

0:29:11.000 --> 0:29:15.160
<v Speaker 1>This is maybe my favorite. One's initial surprise at finding

0:29:15.160 --> 0:29:19.520
<v Speaker 1>that intelligent people tend to be socialists diminishes when one realizes,

0:29:19.560 --> 0:29:25.480
<v Speaker 1>of course, that intelligent people will tend to overvalue intelligence. Ah.

0:29:25.720 --> 0:29:29.080
<v Speaker 1>The curious task of economics is to demonstrate to men

0:29:29.360 --> 0:29:32.520
<v Speaker 1>how little they really know about what they imagine they

0:29:32.560 --> 0:29:37.000
<v Speaker 1>can design. Planners are ill informed. Quote to the naive

0:29:37.120 --> 0:29:40.120
<v Speaker 1>mind that can conceive of order only as the product

0:29:40.160 --> 0:29:43.680
<v Speaker 1>of deliberate arrangement, it might seem absurd that order and

0:29:43.760 --> 0:29:48.160
<v Speaker 1>economic growth can be achieved more effectively by decentralizing decisions,

0:29:48.280 --> 0:29:51.600
<v Speaker 1>he notes, And he notes that the fallacy because quote

0:29:51.640 --> 0:29:56.120
<v Speaker 1>decentralization actually leads to more information being taken into account

0:29:57.040 --> 0:29:59.080
<v Speaker 1>man by millions of people who don't even know they're

0:29:59.120 --> 0:30:01.320
<v Speaker 1>doing it. I'm a hyak for the wind there.

0:30:02.160 --> 0:30:08.520
<v Speaker 3>That would be Friedrich Hayek. Wrong, hyak, right, very different, hyak.

0:30:09.760 --> 0:30:11.920
<v Speaker 3>I love that love that.

0:30:14.920 --> 0:30:15.440
<v Speaker 1>Coming up.

0:30:15.480 --> 0:30:20.480
<v Speaker 3>Why are sharks falling out of the sky in South Carolina.

0:30:20.680 --> 0:30:24.240
<v Speaker 1>Order, mister chairman, how did they get it in.

0:30:24.120 --> 0:30:28.440
<v Speaker 3>This pretty interesting story and using our craziest celebrities as

0:30:28.440 --> 0:30:31.479
<v Speaker 3>a barometer for how much unrest we have in the world.

0:30:31.720 --> 0:30:38.280
<v Speaker 3>I think it might actually work. Among other things coming up, did.

0:30:38.240 --> 0:30:40.560
<v Speaker 7>You see the press conference the other day, Christy No,

0:30:40.840 --> 0:30:47.360
<v Speaker 7>our Homeland secretary was was here and one of our senators,

0:30:47.360 --> 0:30:50.560
<v Speaker 7>Alex Padia. I don't know if they knew it was him,

0:30:50.880 --> 0:30:53.280
<v Speaker 7>but he stood up to ask a question and confront her,

0:30:53.440 --> 0:30:57.240
<v Speaker 7>and they frog marched him out of there and threw

0:30:57.280 --> 0:30:59.520
<v Speaker 7>him on the ground and started to cuff him, and

0:30:59.760 --> 0:31:01.560
<v Speaker 7>got Newsom said, now do me.

0:31:06.080 --> 0:31:13.040
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I tell you if if anyone.

0:31:12.800 --> 0:31:14.920
<v Speaker 7>Who's ready for us close up, it's Gavin.

0:31:15.000 --> 0:31:17.160
<v Speaker 5>I think this is his moments.

0:31:17.240 --> 0:31:17.480
<v Speaker 6>I do.

0:31:18.040 --> 0:31:18.240
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:31:18.280 --> 0:31:21.520
<v Speaker 1>The era of performative politics. Yeah. I was just reading

0:31:21.600 --> 0:31:24.760
<v Speaker 1>a description of little Greta Tuneberg who was walking frelly

0:31:24.840 --> 0:31:27.440
<v Speaker 1>through the airport. Then when she saw the cameras, thrust

0:31:27.480 --> 0:31:30.120
<v Speaker 1>her hands behind her back as if she were cuffed.

0:31:30.280 --> 0:31:34.800
<v Speaker 1>Oh wow, all right, blah blah blah blah blah blah.

0:31:34.840 --> 0:31:38.440
<v Speaker 3>I concur our executive producer Mike Hanson came up with

0:31:38.440 --> 0:31:41.880
<v Speaker 3>this idea. When our celebrities, when our crazy celebrities get

0:31:41.960 --> 0:31:45.040
<v Speaker 3>crazier or peak crazy than the whole world is going,

0:31:45.160 --> 0:31:46.120
<v Speaker 3>They're like a barometer.

0:31:46.640 --> 0:31:51.520
<v Speaker 1>We can use them, I mean, said very insightful. Justin

0:31:51.520 --> 0:31:53.160
<v Speaker 1>Bieber and his wife are having troubles.

0:31:53.640 --> 0:31:57.360
<v Speaker 3>Cher's daughter's son tried to kill himself herself over the weekend,

0:31:57.680 --> 0:32:01.840
<v Speaker 3>and Brittany has released yet another crazy dancing TikTok video.

0:32:02.680 --> 0:32:05.360
<v Speaker 3>That's a barometer of how off the rails things are.

0:32:05.400 --> 0:32:07.520
<v Speaker 3>If Brittany, like you said, if she's dancing with knives,

0:32:07.680 --> 0:32:09.160
<v Speaker 3>well then we got k war in the Middle East.

0:32:09.160 --> 0:32:09.520
<v Speaker 1>Probably.

0:32:09.600 --> 0:32:12.040
<v Speaker 3>If she's calm, everything's calm, and right now things are

0:32:12.920 --> 0:32:13.680
<v Speaker 3>things are not good.

0:32:14.000 --> 0:32:16.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm scared of you because you're weird, because you go

0:32:16.080 --> 0:32:16.760
<v Speaker 2>into puberty.

0:32:16.960 --> 0:32:20.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what to say. That's right, amen to that.

0:32:20.400 --> 0:32:22.480
<v Speaker 3>So she is she is at peak crazy. The world

0:32:22.600 --> 0:32:24.280
<v Speaker 3>is at peak crazy. Not a coincidence.

0:32:24.560 --> 0:32:25.080
<v Speaker 5>Just saw this.

0:32:25.640 --> 0:32:30.200
<v Speaker 3>Dow surges four hundred points, oil falls three percent as

0:32:30.200 --> 0:32:34.480
<v Speaker 3>Iran reportedly seeks talks to end Israel war. I did

0:32:34.480 --> 0:32:37.000
<v Speaker 3>not see that headline anywhere. Just came across.

0:32:38.280 --> 0:32:42.640
<v Speaker 1>Israel responds unconditional surrender and regime change. Please.

0:32:43.400 --> 0:32:46.320
<v Speaker 3>You think they'll demand regime change. I think they'll just

0:32:46.360 --> 0:32:49.440
<v Speaker 3>demand I don't know what would you demand to make

0:32:49.480 --> 0:32:51.600
<v Speaker 3>sure they don't get it, because they'd lie about anything

0:32:51.600 --> 0:32:53.000
<v Speaker 3>in terms of getting a nuclear.

0:32:52.680 --> 0:32:55.960
<v Speaker 1>Weapon, right, Yeah, any concession on the nuclear bomb front

0:32:56.000 --> 0:32:59.720
<v Speaker 1>has to include inspections and that's not gonna go over.

0:33:00.280 --> 0:33:03.600
<v Speaker 1>You don't think, well, even if they agree to it initially,

0:33:03.720 --> 0:33:05.920
<v Speaker 1>they'll they'll flake on it and cheat on it. It's

0:33:05.960 --> 0:33:07.920
<v Speaker 1>been demonstrated over and over again. Yeah.

0:33:07.920 --> 0:33:12.040
<v Speaker 3>I was listening to I don't remember who, somebody on

0:33:12.240 --> 0:33:14.400
<v Speaker 3>when You're a Table news channel's talking about how Iran

0:33:14.720 --> 0:33:18.360
<v Speaker 3>fought Iraq for ten years and many, many, many many

0:33:18.400 --> 0:33:20.680
<v Speaker 3>people died, but Iran finally got to a point after

0:33:20.800 --> 0:33:24.720
<v Speaker 3>vowing to never surrender where they the Ayahtola actually said,

0:33:25.480 --> 0:33:27.560
<v Speaker 3>this pains me more than anything I've done in my life.

0:33:27.600 --> 0:33:29.400
<v Speaker 3>But the you know, the war must end, and they

0:33:29.480 --> 0:33:31.520
<v Speaker 3>made all kinds of concissions that nobody thought they'd ever

0:33:31.720 --> 0:33:33.920
<v Speaker 3>make to get the war to stop. There is a

0:33:33.960 --> 0:33:37.240
<v Speaker 3>point at where you realize this has got to end.

0:33:37.240 --> 0:33:39.959
<v Speaker 3>And I don't know when you get to that point.

0:33:40.000 --> 0:33:42.960
<v Speaker 3>Like a whole bunch of bombs going off near government

0:33:43.000 --> 0:33:46.240
<v Speaker 3>installations yesterday in Tehran where you realize I might die

0:33:46.760 --> 0:33:50.480
<v Speaker 3>this week if I don't end this, So then maybe

0:33:50.480 --> 0:33:52.280
<v Speaker 3>you do allow them to go into four to Oho

0:33:52.320 --> 0:33:53.320
<v Speaker 3>and inspect the place.

0:33:53.440 --> 0:33:58.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. Well, they're going to find a robust

0:33:58.600 --> 0:34:01.600
<v Speaker 1>industry designed to produced a bomb as quickly as possible,

0:34:01.600 --> 0:34:04.320
<v Speaker 1>and very close to having done so. And then what

0:34:04.320 --> 0:34:08.040
<v Speaker 1>do you do, say, Ah, full we caught you. Then

0:34:08.120 --> 0:34:10.680
<v Speaker 1>go back to Tel Aviv. No, you destroy the place?

0:34:11.760 --> 0:34:14.799
<v Speaker 3>Well, right, but then you've also got the problem of

0:34:14.960 --> 0:34:17.879
<v Speaker 3>is this the only place there might be everybody's talking

0:34:17.920 --> 0:34:21.000
<v Speaker 3>about four to Oho the last nuclear facility that hasn't

0:34:21.040 --> 0:34:23.720
<v Speaker 3>been blown up yet. Well, they might have a facility

0:34:23.719 --> 0:34:27.880
<v Speaker 3>nobody's ever heard of somewhere. Yeah, I doubt it, but

0:34:28.000 --> 0:34:32.080
<v Speaker 3>that is possible, certainly. I thought this was an interesting

0:34:32.120 --> 0:34:34.960
<v Speaker 3>stat around that whole thing. In nineteen ninety, Israel and

0:34:34.960 --> 0:34:41.760
<v Speaker 3>Iran's gdb GDP per capita the average individual salary basically,

0:34:42.320 --> 0:34:46.040
<v Speaker 3>or what you were producing for the country, Israel and

0:34:46.080 --> 0:34:48.920
<v Speaker 3>Iran were close to each other thirteen thousand for Israel

0:34:48.960 --> 0:34:52.360
<v Speaker 3>Iran for ten thousand dollars. They were near. In twenty

0:34:52.400 --> 0:34:57.680
<v Speaker 3>twenty five, Israel's has quadrupled to fifty eight thousand, and

0:34:57.800 --> 0:35:00.520
<v Speaker 3>Iran's has been cut in more than half, down to

0:35:00.560 --> 0:35:05.000
<v Speaker 3>thirty eight hundred. That leads me to believe that there's

0:35:05.040 --> 0:35:06.719
<v Speaker 3>a lot of people on the street that would like

0:35:06.800 --> 0:35:07.920
<v Speaker 3>the current leadership to go.

0:35:09.080 --> 0:35:11.399
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Absolutely, I wish I had the quote in front

0:35:11.400 --> 0:35:13.920
<v Speaker 1>of me. I thought it was great that it illustrates

0:35:13.960 --> 0:35:20.080
<v Speaker 1>the problem with giving theocrats in love with the Middle

0:35:20.120 --> 0:35:25.960
<v Speaker 1>Ages the keys to your economy. Right, yeah, just ridiculous. Yeah,

0:35:25.960 --> 0:35:30.400
<v Speaker 1>the Iranian people have been so brutally misserved by the regime,

0:35:30.680 --> 0:35:32.760
<v Speaker 1>just terrible. Do you think Iran would use a nukufa

0:35:32.840 --> 0:35:38.359
<v Speaker 1>had it? Yeah? I did too. I don't know what

0:35:38.440 --> 0:35:41.959
<v Speaker 1>context or when, but yeah, part of the whole death

0:35:41.960 --> 0:35:46.080
<v Speaker 1>to America, death to the Zionists thing is for their

0:35:46.320 --> 0:35:50.719
<v Speaker 1>radical ten twenty fifty percent of their population, but a

0:35:50.719 --> 0:35:53.040
<v Speaker 1>lot of it's sincere sure. And if you go around

0:35:53.120 --> 0:35:55.320
<v Speaker 1>vowing to wipe somebody off the face of the earth

0:35:55.760 --> 0:35:57.800
<v Speaker 1>over and over again for decades and then you achieved

0:35:57.840 --> 0:36:00.640
<v Speaker 1>the means to do that coming.

0:36:00.600 --> 0:36:06.759
<v Speaker 3>Right, And Hamas wasn't joking around obviously in October seventh, right, yeah,

0:36:06.920 --> 0:36:09.240
<v Speaker 3>and this is a this is a blood sport.

0:36:09.320 --> 0:36:14.520
<v Speaker 1>Obviously October seventh illustrated what negotiation will get Israel If

0:36:14.560 --> 0:36:14.839
