WEBVTT - The Bat Boy & Space Alien Odysseys!

0:00:10.960 --> 0:00:15.240
<v Speaker 1>Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

0:00:15.320 --> 0:00:19.360
<v Speaker 1>Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Katty.

0:00:19.280 --> 0:00:30.480
<v Speaker 2>Armstrong and Jet Katie and he.

0:00:31.400 --> 0:00:36.000
<v Speaker 3>Sure button than you, buddy, live a from studio scene,

0:00:37.840 --> 0:00:40.440
<v Speaker 3>a dimly lit room, give them the bowels of the

0:00:40.560 --> 0:00:43.479
<v Speaker 3>Armstrong and Getty Communications Compound and hate y'all.

0:00:44.000 --> 0:00:46.800
<v Speaker 2>Today we are under the tutelage of our general manager,

0:00:47.400 --> 0:00:47.920
<v Speaker 2>Donald J.

0:00:48.080 --> 0:00:50.200
<v Speaker 1>Trump, the decider in chief.

0:00:51.800 --> 0:00:54.520
<v Speaker 2>He's our general manager. That's a heavy gun, you don't.

0:00:54.560 --> 0:00:56.080
<v Speaker 2>You don't do that very often? Do it with your

0:00:56.080 --> 0:00:58.840
<v Speaker 2>serious voice too, which kind of frightened me. Thanks, all right,

0:00:58.880 --> 0:01:01.160
<v Speaker 2>I did, Jack, Yeah.

0:01:01.240 --> 0:01:01.959
<v Speaker 3>And the most.

0:01:01.760 --> 0:01:05.319
<v Speaker 2>Impactful decision of his term his presidency is.

0:01:05.319 --> 0:01:08.480
<v Speaker 1>Life whether to hammer iron? Quite possibly.

0:01:08.520 --> 0:01:10.640
<v Speaker 2>I was looking at the headline of the Weekly World News,

0:01:10.640 --> 0:01:12.479
<v Speaker 2>which is a newsletter I look at every single morning

0:01:12.480 --> 0:01:15.280
<v Speaker 2>when I wake up, and said, the world holds its

0:01:15.280 --> 0:01:17.960
<v Speaker 2>breadth for Trump's a weekly world news.

0:01:18.000 --> 0:01:20.240
<v Speaker 1>Are you sure? The wide world of news? I think?

0:01:20.360 --> 0:01:21.400
<v Speaker 1>Is what I say.

0:01:21.560 --> 0:01:24.120
<v Speaker 2>A weekly World News generally reports on the bat boy

0:01:24.160 --> 0:01:26.200
<v Speaker 2>in space, alien autopsies.

0:01:27.640 --> 0:01:29.520
<v Speaker 1>To go to during these serious times.

0:01:29.560 --> 0:01:32.200
<v Speaker 2>The first thing I read every single day, I want

0:01:32.200 --> 0:01:34.240
<v Speaker 2>to know if they figured out the moon landing or

0:01:34.240 --> 0:01:38.280
<v Speaker 2>a variety of other things. Uh. Yeah, so it hasn't

0:01:38.319 --> 0:01:41.760
<v Speaker 2>happened yet. For all the Trump's a madman talk for

0:01:41.800 --> 0:01:43.840
<v Speaker 2>so many years by a certain crowds, he is a

0:01:44.040 --> 0:01:46.600
<v Speaker 2>very deliberate person when it comes to this sort of thing,

0:01:47.840 --> 0:01:52.040
<v Speaker 2>so it would seem and a manager of a tumultuous

0:01:52.040 --> 0:01:57.080
<v Speaker 2>coalition as well, which we will discuss. Does Iran pose

0:01:57.120 --> 0:01:59.440
<v Speaker 2>a threat to the United States? A new pull out

0:01:59.480 --> 0:02:02.200
<v Speaker 2>from Fox, which is a very respected polling organization, and

0:02:02.240 --> 0:02:04.640
<v Speaker 2>it's about seventy five twenty five Yes.

0:02:05.120 --> 0:02:10.919
<v Speaker 1>Those three quarters of people yes, which is interesting. I'm not.

0:02:13.280 --> 0:02:16.320
<v Speaker 2>I suppose ultimately I'd end up there, but I don't

0:02:16.480 --> 0:02:19.640
<v Speaker 2>personally feel threatened by our end today. But long term,

0:02:19.919 --> 0:02:21.560
<v Speaker 2>I hate the idea of them getting a bomb. I

0:02:21.560 --> 0:02:23.880
<v Speaker 2>think it's worth going to war to keep them from

0:02:23.919 --> 0:02:27.040
<v Speaker 2>get a bomb. Well, they and their proxies have certainly

0:02:27.160 --> 0:02:31.079
<v Speaker 2>killed a prodigious number of Americans and damaged our stuff

0:02:31.480 --> 0:02:34.239
<v Speaker 2>many many times through the years. The isolationist wing of

0:02:34.280 --> 0:02:37.080
<v Speaker 2>the Republican Party might reply, well, you know, stick closer

0:02:37.120 --> 0:02:39.520
<v Speaker 2>to home and that wouldn't happen. I have it to disagree,

0:02:39.600 --> 0:02:43.239
<v Speaker 2>but yeah, I'm looking at a map of our assets

0:02:43.240 --> 0:02:46.320
<v Speaker 2>in the Middle East. Right now, we've got more aircraft

0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:50.760
<v Speaker 2>carriers and destroyers and planes and everything gathered in that

0:02:50.880 --> 0:02:54.480
<v Speaker 2>areas the most we've had since March of two thousand

0:02:54.480 --> 0:02:56.440
<v Speaker 2>and three when we invaded Iraq. So I mean we

0:02:56.520 --> 0:03:00.200
<v Speaker 2>are really geared up for things to go crazy. They

0:03:00.240 --> 0:03:05.559
<v Speaker 2>do purely defensive or positioning forces for something more specific

0:03:06.160 --> 0:03:08.919
<v Speaker 2>and offensive. Well, if I had to bet money question,

0:03:08.960 --> 0:03:11.359
<v Speaker 2>I would think we're absolutely going to go offensive here

0:03:11.680 --> 0:03:14.640
<v Speaker 2>at any point in the next couple of days. But

0:03:15.639 --> 0:03:18.440
<v Speaker 2>I took in a number of podcasts yesterday with experts

0:03:18.440 --> 0:03:22.639
<v Speaker 2>on the whole where things could go wrong, if, if

0:03:22.680 --> 0:03:24.960
<v Speaker 2>things spiral, where it would be, and a lot of

0:03:24.960 --> 0:03:28.480
<v Speaker 2>it is the devolving into civil war. I mean what

0:03:28.520 --> 0:03:32.600
<v Speaker 2>we've been talking about. If the if the leader goes

0:03:35.000 --> 0:03:38.000
<v Speaker 2>who's in charge, and whoever's running the army might say

0:03:38.000 --> 0:03:40.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm in charge, But then whoever's running, you know, the

0:03:41.320 --> 0:03:44.600
<v Speaker 2>Revolutionary Guard or whatever the wing of military might say no,

0:03:44.640 --> 0:03:47.520
<v Speaker 2>you're not, I'm in charge, and various people gather behind them,

0:03:47.560 --> 0:03:49.080
<v Speaker 2>and the next thing you know, you got a full

0:03:49.080 --> 0:03:51.760
<v Speaker 2>on civil war. And then also religious breaks down by

0:03:51.760 --> 0:03:54.280
<v Speaker 2>those and then the idea of it's spilling into a rack,

0:03:54.360 --> 0:03:56.880
<v Speaker 2>which is not particularly stable, and there's a whole bunch

0:03:56.880 --> 0:03:59.960
<v Speaker 2>of people that are half. A lot of the country

0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:02.400
<v Speaker 2>in Iraq is half Iran already anyway, but a whole

0:04:02.400 --> 0:04:05.360
<v Speaker 2>bunch of it is not, and then just that becoming

0:04:05.400 --> 0:04:07.760
<v Speaker 2>a whole, big, giant cauldron of mess.

0:04:08.640 --> 0:04:08.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:04:09.000 --> 0:04:13.800
<v Speaker 2>The question of identity looms huge obviously in the Middle East,

0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:16.440
<v Speaker 2>because a lot of those Iraqis quote unquote you're referring

0:04:16.440 --> 0:04:19.839
<v Speaker 2>to don't see themselves as Iraqis at all. They see

0:04:19.880 --> 0:04:23.200
<v Speaker 2>themselves as Shia Muslims, for instance, and probably more specifically

0:04:23.680 --> 0:04:28.159
<v Speaker 2>this offshoot of Shia Islam. That is who I am,

0:04:28.200 --> 0:04:30.760
<v Speaker 2>and by God, I'm willing to die for it. But

0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:34.039
<v Speaker 2>is that worse than letting Iran get a bomb? That's

0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:34.760
<v Speaker 2>the whole.

0:04:34.560 --> 0:04:37.080
<v Speaker 1>Thing is, is.

0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:37.760
<v Speaker 2>That that would be awful if that happens, and we

0:04:37.760 --> 0:04:40.560
<v Speaker 2>have a giant civil war spreading across two giant countries

0:04:40.600 --> 0:04:44.279
<v Speaker 2>in the Middle East and all kinds of refugees headed

0:04:44.320 --> 0:04:46.080
<v Speaker 2>it into other countries in Europe and wherever.

0:04:46.080 --> 0:04:48.960
<v Speaker 1>But is that worse than Iran getting a bomb? I

0:04:49.000 --> 0:04:49.479
<v Speaker 1>don't think so.

0:04:50.080 --> 0:04:53.880
<v Speaker 2>One interesting perspective on that question comes from India, which

0:04:54.000 --> 0:04:58.760
<v Speaker 2>had a chance to knock out Pakistan's you know, nascent

0:04:59.000 --> 0:05:02.320
<v Speaker 2>nuclear program back in the day and didn't do it,

0:05:02.760 --> 0:05:06.320
<v Speaker 2>and now a lot of Indians believe they're suffering death

0:05:06.320 --> 0:05:10.440
<v Speaker 2>from a thousand cuts. Is militant groups from Pakistan constantly

0:05:10.480 --> 0:05:13.640
<v Speaker 2>attack Indian It's people and they can't do a lot

0:05:13.720 --> 0:05:18.680
<v Speaker 2>about it because Pakistan has nukes, right. So anyway, so

0:05:18.720 --> 0:05:20.960
<v Speaker 2>we got a lot of information on that whole thing,

0:05:21.200 --> 0:05:27.360
<v Speaker 2>and I took in the entire Tucker Carlson Ted Cruz

0:05:27.680 --> 0:05:31.840
<v Speaker 2>interview throughout the afternoon eating last night because it's like

0:05:31.920 --> 0:05:34.000
<v Speaker 2>two hours long, and it took a while to get

0:05:34.000 --> 0:05:36.880
<v Speaker 2>through it, and news quite damned interesting.

0:05:36.960 --> 0:05:42.680
<v Speaker 1>I thought, was the whole thing is fever pitched? Is

0:05:42.720 --> 0:05:44.359
<v Speaker 1>that clip we played yesterday?

0:05:45.279 --> 0:05:48.360
<v Speaker 2>Well, if the whole thing was, you'd have to know,

0:05:48.440 --> 0:05:50.880
<v Speaker 2>I don't think you'd listen to it. You know, you

0:05:51.000 --> 0:05:52.719
<v Speaker 2>drag him off of each other. Well, you can't stay

0:05:52.720 --> 0:05:57.440
<v Speaker 2>at eleven. I mean that that does. But it was

0:05:57.640 --> 0:06:00.800
<v Speaker 2>it was something. I mean, it got Tucker. It would

0:06:00.839 --> 0:06:04.200
<v Speaker 2>be hard to sit there with Tucker and talk to

0:06:04.240 --> 0:06:06.440
<v Speaker 2>him about something you disagree with him about for two

0:06:06.440 --> 0:06:11.479
<v Speaker 2>hours because Ted Cruz had kept saying, could you be

0:06:11.760 --> 0:06:15.520
<v Speaker 2>a little less condescending in your replies, so we can

0:06:15.760 --> 0:06:20.160
<v Speaker 2>have a conversation. Could you stop being so snarky every

0:06:20.160 --> 0:06:21.719
<v Speaker 2>time I say something? I mean, I don't know how

0:06:21.760 --> 0:06:23.200
<v Speaker 2>many times he said that.

0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:24.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:06:24.400 --> 0:06:27.719
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, As I said yesterday, I joked that I could

0:06:27.760 --> 0:06:29.839
<v Speaker 2>give a class on arguing unfairly.

0:06:30.200 --> 0:06:33.280
<v Speaker 1>Tucker would be the president of the university. Yeah, he is.

0:06:33.560 --> 0:06:38.359
<v Speaker 2>One of the most amazingly skilled. He is to arguing

0:06:38.440 --> 0:06:42.120
<v Speaker 2>on fairly what Ornette Coleman was to blowing into a horn.

0:06:42.520 --> 0:06:45.320
<v Speaker 2>I mean he is an artist. Yeah, he really is,

0:06:45.800 --> 0:06:47.880
<v Speaker 2>he really is. I was studying his technique. I'm gonna

0:06:47.920 --> 0:06:49.480
<v Speaker 2>try to do it later this morning. I'm gonna have

0:06:49.560 --> 0:06:53.520
<v Speaker 2>Joe say something you could say practically anything, and then

0:06:53.560 --> 0:06:56.080
<v Speaker 2>I will try to do a Tucker carls an impersonation

0:06:56.120 --> 0:06:58.760
<v Speaker 2>of how you respond when somebody says them. It'd be

0:06:58.800 --> 0:07:00.200
<v Speaker 2>a good way if you want to get out of

0:07:00.240 --> 0:07:02.160
<v Speaker 2>your marriage, this would be a good way to do it.

0:07:02.480 --> 0:07:05.360
<v Speaker 2>Learn to argue out here to make someone hate you, Yes,

0:07:05.440 --> 0:07:07.719
<v Speaker 2>by arguing Tucker Carlson's style.

0:07:08.080 --> 0:07:10.200
<v Speaker 1>Yes, absolutely is that.

0:07:10.360 --> 0:07:13.480
<v Speaker 2>And and at one time, I mean he made one

0:07:13.480 --> 0:07:17.840
<v Speaker 2>time Tucker did apologize where Ted Cruse said, So there,

0:07:17.880 --> 0:07:19.080
<v Speaker 2>there you go with that laugh.

0:07:19.120 --> 0:07:20.240
<v Speaker 1>You're famous for that laugh.

0:07:20.400 --> 0:07:23.320
<v Speaker 2>So you just you go with the dismissive laugh and

0:07:23.360 --> 0:07:25.120
<v Speaker 2>then and Tucker said, you know what, you know what,

0:07:25.200 --> 0:07:28.280
<v Speaker 2>You're right about that. I sincerely apologize for that. It's

0:07:28.280 --> 0:07:30.400
<v Speaker 2>a it's a bad habit I have. I shouldn't have

0:07:30.440 --> 0:07:37.280
<v Speaker 2>done that. That was inappropriate. Wow, exposing something resembling a soul? Yes,

0:07:37.720 --> 0:07:39.920
<v Speaker 2>how to blow up your marriage or your relationship with

0:07:39.960 --> 0:07:43.000
<v Speaker 2>your boss by arguing Tucker Carlson style. We'll get to

0:07:43.040 --> 0:07:44.960
<v Speaker 2>that a little bit later. The one thing I did

0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:47.960
<v Speaker 2>figure out, though, it's fine. Ian Bremmer tweeted out that

0:07:48.000 --> 0:07:49.360
<v Speaker 2>he had watched the whole thing and he said, you

0:07:49.360 --> 0:07:52.440
<v Speaker 2>will learn nothing from about the world from this. And

0:07:52.480 --> 0:07:55.640
<v Speaker 2>I responded to Ian, I said, yeah, Ian, but I

0:07:55.760 --> 0:08:00.720
<v Speaker 2>learned a lot about this division between the Bucker world

0:08:00.880 --> 0:08:04.200
<v Speaker 2>and the rest of MAGA, like a lot by watching that,

0:08:04.280 --> 0:08:06.400
<v Speaker 2>which seems to be a topic that a lot of

0:08:06.400 --> 0:08:09.600
<v Speaker 2>the media seem is pretty damned interested in. I finally

0:08:09.880 --> 0:08:15.560
<v Speaker 2>understand better the woke right thing. Tucker brought it back.

0:08:15.640 --> 0:08:18.160
<v Speaker 2>I don't know how many times to the I walk

0:08:18.240 --> 0:08:20.760
<v Speaker 2>past people dying on the street every day, and we're

0:08:20.800 --> 0:08:25.080
<v Speaker 2>worried about Ukraine. I step over people who are dying

0:08:25.080 --> 0:08:27.920
<v Speaker 2>from drug overdises on the way to you know, my

0:08:28.040 --> 0:08:30.520
<v Speaker 2>car and the parking lot, and we care more about

0:08:30.520 --> 0:08:34.520
<v Speaker 2>Israel than that. The amount of time he spent worried

0:08:34.520 --> 0:08:37.319
<v Speaker 2>about drug addicts on the street, that's the woke, right,

0:08:37.400 --> 0:08:41.959
<v Speaker 2>I guess, because I don't understand concerns in general. I think, well,

0:08:41.960 --> 0:08:44.280
<v Speaker 2>why do you keep using that example like five times?

0:08:44.600 --> 0:08:46.320
<v Speaker 2>Because people die? That's dramatic.

0:08:46.360 --> 0:08:46.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

0:08:47.000 --> 0:08:49.120
<v Speaker 2>I worry about drug addicts on the street only in

0:08:49.160 --> 0:08:52.360
<v Speaker 2>the fact that it interrupts my life so much, uh,

0:08:52.440 --> 0:08:53.760
<v Speaker 2>and they steal from me.

0:08:53.880 --> 0:08:54.640
<v Speaker 1>I worry about that.

0:08:54.720 --> 0:08:58.560
<v Speaker 2>Other than that, I don't know what government policy that

0:08:59.480 --> 0:09:03.400
<v Speaker 2>could be enacted if we spent less time defending Israel.

0:09:03.640 --> 0:09:05.200
<v Speaker 1>I have no idea what that would be.

0:09:06.200 --> 0:09:10.080
<v Speaker 2>Right today, at Tucker Carlson University will be studying the

0:09:10.240 --> 0:09:13.080
<v Speaker 2>false choice. What the hell are you going to do

0:09:13.120 --> 0:09:15.680
<v Speaker 2>about all the drug addicts out there who decide to

0:09:15.760 --> 0:09:19.000
<v Speaker 2>use the fentanyl and the new myth that's worse than

0:09:19.040 --> 0:09:21.520
<v Speaker 2>the old meth that ruins your brain? What the hell

0:09:21.640 --> 0:09:25.679
<v Speaker 2>is that you're blaming that on our on the government

0:09:25.720 --> 0:09:29.559
<v Speaker 2>and society. I just don't get that. Oh, and or

0:09:29.920 --> 0:09:33.200
<v Speaker 2>implying that the only way to free up funds for

0:09:33.360 --> 0:09:36.520
<v Speaker 2>whatever you have in mind, or mind to share for

0:09:36.600 --> 0:09:40.200
<v Speaker 2>whatever you have in mind. Is to not support our allies.

0:09:40.320 --> 0:09:41.760
<v Speaker 2>It's just a terrible false traths.

0:09:41.800 --> 0:09:42.520
<v Speaker 1>We know in.

0:09:42.400 --> 0:09:47.400
<v Speaker 2>California we have spent so much money on the drug

0:09:47.440 --> 0:09:50.760
<v Speaker 2>addicts on the street, which they call the homeless problem.

0:09:50.840 --> 0:09:53.319
<v Speaker 1>Just an incredible.

0:09:52.720 --> 0:09:56.000
<v Speaker 2>Amount of money, right, and with more drug addicts on

0:09:56.040 --> 0:09:59.679
<v Speaker 2>the street. So Tucker acting like or the woke, right,

0:09:59.679 --> 0:10:02.440
<v Speaker 2>I guess, acting like there's there's a simple solution to

0:10:02.440 --> 0:10:04.040
<v Speaker 2>all the drug addicts on the street, and that was

0:10:04.120 --> 0:10:08.959
<v Speaker 2>caused by our government's focus on other countries to start with,

0:10:09.240 --> 0:10:11.160
<v Speaker 2>and the government could fix that if they would just

0:10:11.240 --> 0:10:14.320
<v Speaker 2>spend some money on it. What are you talking about? Yeah,

0:10:14.320 --> 0:10:17.480
<v Speaker 2>that made me nuts. That's beyond a false choice to me.

0:10:17.600 --> 0:10:19.600
<v Speaker 2>I don't even know. I don't even know what you're

0:10:19.600 --> 0:10:21.720
<v Speaker 2>talking about. I wish Ted cruzould have pushed back harder

0:10:21.760 --> 0:10:24.440
<v Speaker 2>on that. But anyway, I want to get into that later.

0:10:24.480 --> 0:10:27.040
<v Speaker 2>The how to argue, like Tucker, and seriously, you want

0:10:27.040 --> 0:10:29.240
<v Speaker 2>to end your marriage, learn it. You could do it today,

0:10:29.240 --> 0:10:30.920
<v Speaker 2>You could do it this evening at the dinner table.

0:10:32.120 --> 0:10:34.240
<v Speaker 2>You make him or her hate you for the rest

0:10:34.240 --> 0:10:37.960
<v Speaker 2>of your life. Yeah, I I'm fascinated by the question

0:10:38.000 --> 0:10:42.880
<v Speaker 2>of what he actually, Tucker actually believes. I know, if

0:10:42.960 --> 0:10:45.920
<v Speaker 2>I were a shill for Putin, and I'm not saying

0:10:45.920 --> 0:10:47.719
<v Speaker 2>that I know he is, he just acts like one

0:10:47.760 --> 0:10:48.120
<v Speaker 2>a lot.

0:10:48.880 --> 0:10:52.040
<v Speaker 1>I would make all sorts of arguments.

0:10:52.000 --> 0:10:54.960
<v Speaker 2>About why it is good and decent and moral not

0:10:55.120 --> 0:10:58.280
<v Speaker 2>to back Ukraine, for instance, or not to back Israel.

0:10:58.880 --> 0:11:02.320
<v Speaker 2>And the one we've been describing is that would convince

0:11:02.440 --> 0:11:06.120
<v Speaker 2>a certain percentage of people. And yeah, craft other arguments

0:11:06.120 --> 0:11:07.680
<v Speaker 2>to sway other people.

0:11:07.920 --> 0:11:10.640
<v Speaker 1>It's a bad argument. Well it's logically, it's it's a

0:11:10.679 --> 0:11:11.360
<v Speaker 1>hout of cards.

0:11:11.400 --> 0:11:13.640
<v Speaker 2>It doesn't really matter to me what one Tucker Carlson

0:11:13.720 --> 0:11:15.680
<v Speaker 2>thinks are why, But it does matter to me And

0:11:15.720 --> 0:11:17.960
<v Speaker 2>the fact that he has a lot of sway over

0:11:18.000 --> 0:11:20.720
<v Speaker 2>a ton of people, including a lot of you, that

0:11:20.800 --> 0:11:22.720
<v Speaker 2>I don't quite get. So that's what I was looking

0:11:22.760 --> 0:11:25.280
<v Speaker 2>to understand. Oh exactly. I think I was trying to

0:11:25.320 --> 0:11:28.679
<v Speaker 2>imply that certainly, yeaheah, let's start the show. Officially, I'm

0:11:28.760 --> 0:11:31.680
<v Speaker 2>Jack Armstrong, He's Joe Getty on this It is Thursday

0:11:31.760 --> 0:11:35.360
<v Speaker 2>June nineteenth, known as juneteenth the year twenty twenty five,

0:11:35.480 --> 0:11:37.440
<v Speaker 2>or Armstrong and geddy, and we approve of this program.

0:11:37.720 --> 0:11:39.920
<v Speaker 2>All right, let's see get started now officially according to

0:11:39.960 --> 0:11:41.280
<v Speaker 2>FCC rules and regulations.

0:11:41.280 --> 0:11:42.520
<v Speaker 1>Here we go at Mark.

0:11:42.679 --> 0:11:47.480
<v Speaker 2>By the way, Tucker, it's a very weird thing, the

0:11:47.679 --> 0:11:49.080
<v Speaker 2>obsession with Israel.

0:11:49.080 --> 0:11:49.960
<v Speaker 1>Well, we're talking about for it.

0:11:51.080 --> 0:11:53.360
<v Speaker 2>You're not talking about Chinese, you're not talking about Japanesian,

0:11:53.520 --> 0:11:55.319
<v Speaker 2>not talking about the Brits, you're not talking about the French.

0:11:55.320 --> 0:11:57.439
<v Speaker 1>The question what about the Jews? What about the Jews?

0:11:57.600 --> 0:12:00.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm an tay semi now, Senator, you're just and uestion.

0:12:01.679 --> 0:12:05.160
<v Speaker 2>You're asking why are the Jews controlling our foreign policy?

0:12:05.440 --> 0:12:06.320
<v Speaker 1>What you just asked?

0:12:09.120 --> 0:12:11.200
<v Speaker 2>And so Tucker for the next hour and a half

0:12:11.280 --> 0:12:13.200
<v Speaker 2>kept saying, you called me an anti Semite.

0:12:13.320 --> 0:12:17.640
<v Speaker 1>No I didn't, Yes, you did a lot of that beautiful.

0:12:17.760 --> 0:12:20.160
<v Speaker 2>Well, we read a letter from somebody of a very

0:12:20.240 --> 0:12:26.040
<v Speaker 2>Tucker Carlson esque bent yesterday that was flamingly proudly anti Semitic.

0:12:26.240 --> 0:12:28.320
<v Speaker 2>The rest of that, by the way, we'll play it later,

0:12:28.880 --> 0:12:33.400
<v Speaker 2>is you're calling me an anti Semite and you know it.

0:12:33.520 --> 0:12:35.920
<v Speaker 2>Ted Crew says, no, I'm not, and Tucker says, you

0:12:35.960 --> 0:12:38.360
<v Speaker 2>did it in a sleezy, feline way, and you should

0:12:38.400 --> 0:12:41.960
<v Speaker 2>be ashamed of yourself. So then the rest of the

0:12:41.960 --> 0:12:44.559
<v Speaker 2>the rest of the argument, Ted Cruz keeps coming back,

0:12:44.679 --> 0:12:50.400
<v Speaker 2>going back to you called me a sleezy feline, A

0:12:50.640 --> 0:12:51.880
<v Speaker 2>sleezy feline.

0:12:52.280 --> 0:12:53.800
<v Speaker 1>Wow, which is quite an insult.

0:12:54.360 --> 0:13:00.040
<v Speaker 2>Wow, everybody, calm down, back to your corners. Okay, we

0:13:00.120 --> 0:13:02.600
<v Speaker 2>got Katie's headlines, we got mail bag, we got other

0:13:02.640 --> 0:13:06.760
<v Speaker 2>news of the day. I hope you can stick around.

0:13:08.160 --> 0:13:10.480
<v Speaker 2>On the East Coast, there was that trial with that

0:13:10.559 --> 0:13:12.960
<v Speaker 2>woman with her husband, the cop who died, and she

0:13:13.120 --> 0:13:16.920
<v Speaker 2>was accused of being blamed for it, and she got acquitted.

0:13:17.000 --> 0:13:18.240
<v Speaker 1>Washington with SUV.

0:13:18.360 --> 0:13:20.800
<v Speaker 2>There's a crowd outside the courtroom cheering like crazy, and

0:13:20.840 --> 0:13:23.480
<v Speaker 2>the news ever, ABC News and everybody had it last night.

0:13:23.480 --> 0:13:24.920
<v Speaker 2>And I didn't know a thing about it. So did

0:13:24.920 --> 0:13:27.040
<v Speaker 2>I miss out on a major trial? Is it an

0:13:27.080 --> 0:13:31.920
<v Speaker 2>East Coast thing? It's certainly hotter there as it was

0:13:32.040 --> 0:13:33.800
<v Speaker 2>the Boston area, right right, Yeah?

0:13:33.880 --> 0:13:34.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:13:34.280 --> 0:13:37.520
<v Speaker 2>I actually played golf with guy from the Boston area yesterday,

0:13:37.520 --> 0:13:41.200
<v Speaker 2>oddly enough, and he's been following the trial and asked me,

0:13:41.240 --> 0:13:44.559
<v Speaker 2>with the excitement, are you following this all night? It's unbelievable, right.

0:13:44.600 --> 0:13:47.120
<v Speaker 2>Apparently in the Northeast it was just like it was.

0:13:47.520 --> 0:13:49.319
<v Speaker 2>You know, it's one of those big trials that everybody

0:13:49.320 --> 0:13:51.800
<v Speaker 2>follows and talks about. And it didn't spread across the

0:13:51.840 --> 0:13:56.160
<v Speaker 2>country because I don't know anybody who brought it up. Yeah,

0:13:56.280 --> 0:13:58.760
<v Speaker 2>so maybe I we'll hit on that later. Let's jump

0:13:58.840 --> 0:14:01.400
<v Speaker 2>right into the headlines. What it's the lead story with

0:14:01.520 --> 0:14:03.480
<v Speaker 2>Katie Green. Katie hit it well.

0:14:03.520 --> 0:14:07.440
<v Speaker 4>Starting with Axios, Trump presses aids on whether bunker buster

0:14:07.720 --> 0:14:10.160
<v Speaker 4>plan to bomb Iran will work.

0:14:10.440 --> 0:14:13.719
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he had a multiple days in a row where

0:14:13.760 --> 0:14:17.120
<v Speaker 2>he's been meeting with the National Security Council and talking

0:14:17.160 --> 0:14:19.160
<v Speaker 2>all the experts, and I guess, according to Axios, he

0:14:19.200 --> 0:14:20.800
<v Speaker 2>really grilled him on the hay, is this whole bunker

0:14:20.800 --> 0:14:22.840
<v Speaker 2>buster thing going to work like we claim it's going to?

0:14:23.360 --> 0:14:27.040
<v Speaker 1>So he is being very deliberate, and he active.

0:14:27.080 --> 0:14:30.200
<v Speaker 2>The White House actively leaked, obviously the fact that he

0:14:30.240 --> 0:14:34.040
<v Speaker 2>had approved the attack plan but was waiting.

0:14:33.640 --> 0:14:36.280
<v Speaker 1>To see if the ayatolas would come around. Give him

0:14:36.320 --> 0:14:37.080
<v Speaker 1>one more chance.

0:14:38.680 --> 0:14:42.920
<v Speaker 4>From the Associated Press, United States says foreign students seeking

0:14:43.040 --> 0:14:46.800
<v Speaker 4>visas must unlock all social media accounts.

0:14:47.640 --> 0:14:50.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, if you're America hating zealots, you can't come.

0:14:50.920 --> 0:14:52.480
<v Speaker 1>That seems perfectly reasonable.

0:14:52.600 --> 0:14:57.480
<v Speaker 2>Can you imagine some sort of virulent anti French government,

0:14:58.600 --> 0:15:02.240
<v Speaker 2>American saying, come on, you gotta let me study in Paris.

0:15:02.600 --> 0:15:04.640
<v Speaker 2>They said, no, we don't want you. We got enough trouble.

0:15:04.840 --> 0:15:09.920
<v Speaker 4>Perfectly reasonable from the New York Times, fed seas higher

0:15:10.080 --> 0:15:13.600
<v Speaker 4>inflation and lower growth ahead.

0:15:14.400 --> 0:15:17.800
<v Speaker 2>Higher inflation and lower goes. I don't like that. What

0:15:17.960 --> 0:15:20.880
<v Speaker 2>I don't think that good? Katie, No, bring me bad

0:15:20.920 --> 0:15:23.560
<v Speaker 2>news for for ESPN.

0:15:24.200 --> 0:15:27.720
<v Speaker 4>Los Angeles Lakers owners sell majority of Steak in the

0:15:27.800 --> 0:15:28.760
<v Speaker 4>team at.

0:15:28.720 --> 0:15:34.000
<v Speaker 1>Ten billion dollar valuation. The Lakers were almost their general manager.

0:15:34.040 --> 0:15:38.280
<v Speaker 2>Today, the most valuable sports franchise on Earth. Ten billion

0:15:38.320 --> 0:15:40.560
<v Speaker 2>dollars sale just completed. Yeah, that's a big deal.

0:15:41.840 --> 0:15:47.560
<v Speaker 4>From brightbart dot com, leftist echo chamber, Blue Sky suspends

0:15:47.680 --> 0:15:51.240
<v Speaker 4>jd Vance's new account within thirty minutes of creation.

0:15:53.680 --> 0:15:54.040
<v Speaker 1>Wow.

0:15:54.040 --> 0:15:55.840
<v Speaker 2>Did they give some sort of rationale for that or

0:15:55.880 --> 0:15:57.440
<v Speaker 2>they just they're a bubble, We're a bubble.

0:15:57.760 --> 0:15:58.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:15:58.320 --> 0:16:02.160
<v Speaker 4>And then after they they and they reinstated his account,

0:16:02.800 --> 0:16:03.640
<v Speaker 4>and that's upset.

0:16:03.720 --> 0:16:06.280
<v Speaker 2>So they're being performative in the way that he's often performative.

0:16:06.280 --> 0:16:08.560
<v Speaker 2>And that's all we do is we perform. And we

0:16:08.640 --> 0:16:12.440
<v Speaker 2>mentioned their name on the air. Wait to go, Katie, Great, Wow.

0:16:12.440 --> 0:16:14.520
<v Speaker 4>I'm really screwing This one up from the New York

0:16:14.560 --> 0:16:20.560
<v Speaker 4>post Man with real life girlfriend and child proposes to

0:16:20.640 --> 0:16:23.640
<v Speaker 4>AI chatbot after programming.

0:16:23.080 --> 0:16:27.960
<v Speaker 1>It to flirt. Quote, I think it's actual love. Oh

0:16:29.480 --> 0:16:30.360
<v Speaker 1>this is it.

0:16:30.280 --> 0:16:32.080
<v Speaker 2>Worse If this is real or if this is just

0:16:32.120 --> 0:16:33.920
<v Speaker 2>a way to get attention, they're both bad.

0:16:35.800 --> 0:16:41.200
<v Speaker 4>And finally the Babylon Bee Ted Cruz destroyed in interview

0:16:41.320 --> 0:16:45.120
<v Speaker 4>as he's unable to name Ayatola's favorite starter Pokemon.

0:16:47.040 --> 0:16:49.520
<v Speaker 1>I was actually thinking, why is Ted Cruz doing this?

0:16:49.640 --> 0:16:54.880
<v Speaker 2>And I thought he is trying to explain to the

0:16:54.960 --> 0:16:59.680
<v Speaker 2>Tucker crowd, bring bring some of them over to his side,

0:16:59.760 --> 0:17:02.840
<v Speaker 2>because because he realizes he's going to be running against

0:17:02.920 --> 0:17:05.840
<v Speaker 2>jd Vance, among other people, in twenty twenty eight, he's

0:17:05.880 --> 0:17:07.720
<v Speaker 2>going to be running for president, and he needs that crowd,

0:17:07.760 --> 0:17:10.560
<v Speaker 2>that's my guess. Well, and if he loves this country,

0:17:10.560 --> 0:17:13.520
<v Speaker 2>he might just be explaining his preferred foreign policy too.

0:17:14.160 --> 0:17:15.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I don't know.

0:17:15.600 --> 0:17:17.720
<v Speaker 2>You have to get into a Tucker for that. But anyway,

0:17:17.760 --> 0:17:19.359
<v Speaker 2>I got more on everything on the way.

0:17:19.400 --> 0:17:20.240
<v Speaker 1>I hope you can stay.

0:17:20.080 --> 0:17:22.280
<v Speaker 4>Here, Armstrong and Getty.

0:17:23.520 --> 0:17:27.200
<v Speaker 5>We had sirens. Everybody went into the shelter, but later

0:17:27.240 --> 0:17:31.080
<v Speaker 5>we learned it was just a few Iranian ballistic missiles.

0:17:31.119 --> 0:17:33.520
<v Speaker 5>Keep in mind, in the beginning of this there were

0:17:33.560 --> 0:17:36.640
<v Speaker 5>two hundred and one night. Last couple of nights, it's

0:17:36.680 --> 0:17:41.240
<v Speaker 5>been thirty, so it's definitely a dramatic reduction. The military

0:17:41.280 --> 0:17:45.200
<v Speaker 5>announcing that they're beginning a phased reopening of the economy.

0:17:45.359 --> 0:17:49.160
<v Speaker 5>Shops are opening, people are sort of getting into more

0:17:49.160 --> 0:17:52.160
<v Speaker 5>of a new normal posture, a little bit more relaxed,

0:17:52.160 --> 0:17:53.200
<v Speaker 5>but still vigilant.

0:17:53.960 --> 0:17:56.560
<v Speaker 2>I didn't catch where a clears award. Is she in Tehran?

0:17:56.960 --> 0:18:00.480
<v Speaker 2>Or is she in Tel Aviv? Where is she that

0:18:00.520 --> 0:18:04.320
<v Speaker 2>they're having fewer missiles shot at her Israel? Probably I

0:18:04.560 --> 0:18:08.360
<v Speaker 2>haven't heard except for one guy with a written report

0:18:08.440 --> 0:18:09.800
<v Speaker 2>from Tehran.

0:18:09.880 --> 0:18:11.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I don't think. Yeah, I don't think anybody's there.

0:18:11.920 --> 0:18:17.600
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Yeah, so that's said though by her last night.

0:18:19.000 --> 0:18:23.160
<v Speaker 2>One of Israel's biggest hospitals got hit today with some injuries,

0:18:23.280 --> 0:18:26.520
<v Speaker 2>and Iran says they weren't shooting for the hospital. They're

0:18:26.520 --> 0:18:29.040
<v Speaker 2>shooting for a military target and accidentally hit the hospital.

0:18:29.080 --> 0:18:32.080
<v Speaker 2>That's either true or it's not. I don't know, but

0:18:32.400 --> 0:18:36.159
<v Speaker 2>ain't good. So I was looking at yesterday's schedule when

0:18:36.200 --> 0:18:37.840
<v Speaker 2>I asked for the clip. Michael, if you would like

0:18:37.920 --> 0:18:43.480
<v Speaker 2>to yell at me. That would be I think appropriate. Probably,

0:18:43.840 --> 0:18:47.520
<v Speaker 2>That's okay, I'll let you off, Okay, all right, fine, Yeah,

0:18:47.560 --> 0:18:50.280
<v Speaker 2>I actually had a different clip in mind, but that's fine.

0:18:50.320 --> 0:18:53.639
<v Speaker 2>It was that Netta who want wants very much for

0:18:53.720 --> 0:18:57.720
<v Speaker 2>Trump to administer the final blow to knock out the

0:18:57.840 --> 0:18:58.879
<v Speaker 2>four to Oho facility.

0:18:59.400 --> 0:19:01.920
<v Speaker 1>And on that topic, obviously the big story of the day.

0:19:01.960 --> 0:19:05.040
<v Speaker 2>There are a couple of different angles that are that

0:19:05.119 --> 0:19:06.199
<v Speaker 2>are interesting about this.

0:19:06.359 --> 0:19:06.600
<v Speaker 1>Jack.

0:19:06.640 --> 0:19:11.479
<v Speaker 2>You've been reporting on or leading the discussion on what

0:19:11.720 --> 0:19:17.240
<v Speaker 2>might go sideways if indeed the US joins in the attack.

0:19:17.960 --> 0:19:21.159
<v Speaker 2>I've just come across another poll. This is the j

0:19:21.560 --> 0:19:27.480
<v Speaker 2>L Partners poll poll of over one thousand registered voters,

0:19:27.480 --> 0:19:31.760
<v Speaker 2>including six hundred and twenty four Republicans, and the New

0:19:31.840 --> 0:19:33.600
<v Speaker 2>York Post published this one.

0:19:33.640 --> 0:19:36.240
<v Speaker 1>But man, I've come across some wacky results.

0:19:36.520 --> 0:19:39.919
<v Speaker 2>In this one, Republican voters back US strikes on I

0:19:39.960 --> 0:19:42.160
<v Speaker 2>ran by a margin of fifty eight to twenty five

0:19:43.800 --> 0:19:48.879
<v Speaker 2>and that includes sixty five percent of self described MAGA Republicans,

0:19:49.200 --> 0:19:52.200
<v Speaker 2>an even higher number than traditional Republicans.

0:19:53.480 --> 0:19:56.240
<v Speaker 1>That the result strikes me as somewhat odd. Yeah, I

0:19:56.240 --> 0:19:58.600
<v Speaker 1>don't know that poll. Yeah, I don't either.

0:19:59.000 --> 0:20:01.240
<v Speaker 2>The fact that New York Post one with it suggests

0:20:01.280 --> 0:20:06.360
<v Speaker 2>that it's not completely whacked dutally. But anyway, I thought

0:20:06.440 --> 0:20:10.120
<v Speaker 2>this was really interesting. A couple of writers in the

0:20:10.160 --> 0:20:13.560
<v Speaker 2>Wall Street Journal talking about why Iran's axis of resistance

0:20:14.119 --> 0:20:17.199
<v Speaker 2>is missing in action, and I thought, well, it's because

0:20:17.240 --> 0:20:20.600
<v Speaker 2>you know, Israel blew the junk off of a lot

0:20:20.600 --> 0:20:22.520
<v Speaker 2>of Hesbala guys.

0:20:23.359 --> 0:20:24.840
<v Speaker 1>Is more or less decimated.

0:20:24.840 --> 0:20:29.680
<v Speaker 2>And that is absolutely true, but there's a lot more

0:20:29.880 --> 0:20:33.640
<v Speaker 2>in Iraq. Your Iranian Bakshiite militias have not targeted US

0:20:33.760 --> 0:20:37.360
<v Speaker 2>military basis as they have in the past. Yemen's who

0:20:37.480 --> 0:20:40.520
<v Speaker 2>these fired a few missiles at Israel on Sunday, but

0:20:40.640 --> 0:20:44.840
<v Speaker 2>have remained silent in the five days since, four or

0:20:44.880 --> 0:20:48.840
<v Speaker 2>five days since. And they mentioned that a lot of

0:20:48.880 --> 0:20:52.000
<v Speaker 2>these groups, when they were in a fight like with

0:20:52.240 --> 0:20:57.240
<v Speaker 2>Bashira Ala Sad, Iran didn't help them. It didn't step

0:20:57.320 --> 0:20:58.200
<v Speaker 2>up to help them.

0:20:58.560 --> 0:20:58.760
<v Speaker 1>Oh.

0:20:58.880 --> 0:21:02.560
<v Speaker 2>Interesting, And so that whole axis of a hole seems

0:21:02.600 --> 0:21:04.879
<v Speaker 2>to be falling apart and has been reported by a

0:21:04.960 --> 0:21:05.560
<v Speaker 2>number of people.

0:21:06.160 --> 0:21:09.200
<v Speaker 1>Russia's not coming to Iran's aid for whatever reason. Putin

0:21:09.200 --> 0:21:11.359
<v Speaker 1>has said.

0:21:10.960 --> 0:21:15.000
<v Speaker 2>Right, right, although he has helpfully volunteered to broker a

0:21:15.080 --> 0:21:17.639
<v Speaker 2>deal between Israel and Iran. Right, Well, now that's a

0:21:17.720 --> 0:21:19.159
<v Speaker 2>tempting prospect.

0:21:18.680 --> 0:21:19.040
<v Speaker 1>Isn't it.

0:21:19.080 --> 0:21:22.040
<v Speaker 2>Well he did that and we all laughed at it,

0:21:22.080 --> 0:21:29.360
<v Speaker 2>with the whole Syria using chemical weapons, and the administration

0:21:29.480 --> 0:21:33.280
<v Speaker 2>jumped on it, and John Kerry allowed.

0:21:32.960 --> 0:21:34.960
<v Speaker 1>Putin to negotiate.

0:21:35.880 --> 0:21:38.840
<v Speaker 2>The whatever it was with the chemical weapons, which everybody

0:21:38.840 --> 0:21:40.920
<v Speaker 2>thought was a farce, but it was an off ramp

0:21:40.960 --> 0:21:43.640
<v Speaker 2>for Barack Obama who'd drawn a red line. So right,

0:21:44.520 --> 0:21:45.639
<v Speaker 2>it is a good way to get out of it.

0:21:45.640 --> 0:21:47.119
<v Speaker 2>I don't think we're going to do it in this case.

0:21:47.680 --> 0:21:51.679
<v Speaker 2>So the other aspect of why some of the proxies

0:21:51.720 --> 0:21:55.359
<v Speaker 2>haven't left to Iran's defense or started attacking US and

0:21:55.440 --> 0:22:00.520
<v Speaker 2>Israeli targets is a very simple illustration of the this

0:22:00.600 --> 0:22:05.320
<v Speaker 2>stuff works. I would I would summarize it. Well, I'll

0:22:05.359 --> 0:22:08.800
<v Speaker 2>quote this think tanker from London. For all of these

0:22:08.840 --> 0:22:12.359
<v Speaker 2>networks right now, it's about survival. They all understand the

0:22:12.400 --> 0:22:16.600
<v Speaker 2>wrath of these types of military campaigns. In other words,

0:22:17.359 --> 0:22:20.879
<v Speaker 2>they have all looked at it and said, no, the

0:22:21.240 --> 0:22:23.840
<v Speaker 2>big dogs are serious. Now we don't want any part

0:22:23.840 --> 0:22:26.520
<v Speaker 2>of your crap. We got our own problems, we got

0:22:26.520 --> 0:22:28.879
<v Speaker 2>our own little fight for supremacy in our corner of

0:22:28.920 --> 0:22:32.680
<v Speaker 2>the God forsake and Middle East and Israel in particular

0:22:33.320 --> 0:22:36.520
<v Speaker 2>is serious about putting a herd on people, so we

0:22:36.520 --> 0:22:39.240
<v Speaker 2>don't want any part of it. That's what we call.

0:22:39.520 --> 0:22:43.240
<v Speaker 2>I'll give you a hint. It's a D word, deterrence.

0:22:44.119 --> 0:22:46.800
<v Speaker 2>You if you wish for peace, prepare for war.

0:22:48.600 --> 0:22:48.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:22:48.880 --> 0:22:50.959
<v Speaker 2>David Sanger's piece in the New York Times today is

0:22:51.320 --> 0:22:56.199
<v Speaker 2>what could go wrong basically, and his main thing, in

0:22:56.240 --> 0:22:58.840
<v Speaker 2>addition to a whole bunch of obvious stuff. I mean,

0:22:59.560 --> 0:23:03.000
<v Speaker 2>one of the dealth bombers, could you know, have mechanical

0:23:03.080 --> 0:23:05.159
<v Speaker 2>problems or get shot down, you know, they get a

0:23:05.240 --> 0:23:07.920
<v Speaker 2>lucky shot with whatever defenses they got left or something

0:23:07.960 --> 0:23:08.199
<v Speaker 2>like that.

0:23:09.160 --> 0:23:10.200
<v Speaker 1>Something like that could happen.

0:23:10.840 --> 0:23:16.720
<v Speaker 2>But more likely is Iran does start firing at our bases,

0:23:17.880 --> 0:23:22.600
<v Speaker 2>kills a couple American soldiers, and then there is a

0:23:22.640 --> 0:23:25.439
<v Speaker 2>fair amount of public outcry and pressure on Donald Trump

0:23:25.600 --> 0:23:30.399
<v Speaker 2>to like really respond because now American soldiers have been killed,

0:23:30.400 --> 0:23:33.560
<v Speaker 2>and that escalates and you're very quickly to having to

0:23:33.600 --> 0:23:36.080
<v Speaker 2>take out the Iyatola because he's killing you as soldiers

0:23:36.119 --> 0:23:36.800
<v Speaker 2>that you could get.

0:23:36.720 --> 0:23:39.000
<v Speaker 1>There really quick, right.

0:23:39.119 --> 0:23:44.360
<v Speaker 2>And on another front, similar though, and I've been it's

0:23:44.440 --> 0:23:47.800
<v Speaker 2>tough to know how seriously and literally to take some

0:23:47.840 --> 0:23:50.320
<v Speaker 2>of the stuff, But I think I do to a

0:23:50.400 --> 0:23:56.680
<v Speaker 2>large extent. If the US really got involved, that could

0:23:56.760 --> 0:24:00.240
<v Speaker 2>stir anti American anger in a way that we don't

0:24:00.320 --> 0:24:03.920
<v Speaker 2>quite get as Americans. Among the Middle Easterners. I mean

0:24:04.000 --> 0:24:07.160
<v Speaker 2>even and obviously there are quotes around this, but even

0:24:07.200 --> 0:24:11.520
<v Speaker 2>the evil Jew, I mean, the Arab folks never admit it,

0:24:11.560 --> 0:24:15.600
<v Speaker 2>but yeah, the Jewish folks have been in Israel controlling

0:24:15.680 --> 0:24:19.639
<v Speaker 2>Israel on and off for thousands of years. They are

0:24:19.760 --> 0:24:22.800
<v Speaker 2>of that region. They might be the Evil Jew, but

0:24:23.000 --> 0:24:24.959
<v Speaker 2>they're you know, another one of the tribes, another one

0:24:25.000 --> 0:24:27.040
<v Speaker 2>of the religions of the Middle East, and it's.

0:24:26.920 --> 0:24:28.160
<v Speaker 1>On, we're trying to kill each other.

0:24:28.359 --> 0:24:31.920
<v Speaker 2>But when the big dog, who doesn't even live there,

0:24:32.680 --> 0:24:36.320
<v Speaker 2>starts wrecking stuff and killing people, people in that region

0:24:36.400 --> 0:24:40.040
<v Speaker 2>get get pretty unhappy about it. So there it could

0:24:40.119 --> 0:24:45.159
<v Speaker 2>trigger another wave of anti American anger, resentment, etc. All

0:24:45.200 --> 0:24:47.320
<v Speaker 2>these things to me, and I think this is what

0:24:47.440 --> 0:24:49.800
<v Speaker 2>ultimately is going to be decided. All these things could

0:24:49.840 --> 0:24:53.919
<v Speaker 2>be true at various levels or combinations. Still not as

0:24:54.000 --> 0:24:58.720
<v Speaker 2>bad as Iran haviling a nuclear weapon. And that's where

0:24:58.760 --> 0:25:00.320
<v Speaker 2>you end. You do have to boil it down to

0:25:00.359 --> 0:25:02.440
<v Speaker 2>that again and again you're right, yeah, right.

0:25:04.440 --> 0:25:05.440
<v Speaker 1>I thought it was interesting.

0:25:06.160 --> 0:25:08.120
<v Speaker 2>Well, let me let me reach just read the first paragraph,

0:25:08.160 --> 0:25:10.480
<v Speaker 2>because I thought this was pretty good. US strike on

0:25:10.520 --> 0:25:12.160
<v Speaker 2>o Rand would bring risks at every turn.

0:25:12.640 --> 0:25:12.840
<v Speaker 1>Man.

0:25:12.880 --> 0:25:14.679
<v Speaker 2>There was a great piece in the National Review the

0:25:14.680 --> 0:25:17.199
<v Speaker 2>other day that Noah Rothman wrote about how we are

0:25:17.400 --> 0:25:22.080
<v Speaker 2>so for a variety of reasons of things that have

0:25:22.119 --> 0:25:24.359
<v Speaker 2>gone bad in the past, like so scared and so,

0:25:24.920 --> 0:25:27.320
<v Speaker 2>but what if this and what if that? With everything

0:25:27.359 --> 0:25:29.920
<v Speaker 2>we do now in a way that we didn't used

0:25:29.960 --> 0:25:34.120
<v Speaker 2>to be. Yeah, there are downsides, sure, there always are,

0:25:34.800 --> 0:25:37.639
<v Speaker 2>but ultimately we don't want them to get away.

0:25:38.080 --> 0:25:38.439
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

0:25:38.480 --> 0:25:39.920
<v Speaker 2>It's not a good it's not a good way to

0:25:39.920 --> 0:25:42.320
<v Speaker 2>look at your life. Well, what, we could go on

0:25:42.400 --> 0:25:44.359
<v Speaker 2>vacation this summer, but you know what if one of

0:25:44.440 --> 0:25:48.119
<v Speaker 2>us gets sick or we run out of gas or okay,

0:25:48.280 --> 0:25:50.600
<v Speaker 2>what if a pipe breaks when we're gone and now

0:25:50.840 --> 0:25:51.520
<v Speaker 2>gets flooded?

0:25:51.680 --> 0:25:52.040
<v Speaker 1>Right?

0:25:52.119 --> 0:25:57.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, And I'm not trying to be too dismissive of

0:25:57.240 --> 0:26:01.720
<v Speaker 2>how awful like Iraq went, but you can't paralyze yourself

0:26:01.760 --> 0:26:06.040
<v Speaker 2>with every bit of things that could go wrong anyway.

0:26:06.080 --> 0:26:07.560
<v Speaker 1>The leading, especially because you.

0:26:07.560 --> 0:26:09.680
<v Speaker 2>Have to spend equal time and energy on what could

0:26:09.720 --> 0:26:12.920
<v Speaker 2>go wrong if Iran has a new Oh my god, yes, definitely.

0:26:12.960 --> 0:26:16.880
<v Speaker 2>It's easy to write those paragraphs. It sounds so surgical,

0:26:16.960 --> 0:26:19.440
<v Speaker 2>so precise, exactly the kind of air attack that only

0:26:19.440 --> 0:26:23.479
<v Speaker 2>the US Force can air Force can execute. A series

0:26:23.520 --> 0:26:27.119
<v Speaker 2>of B two bombers lifts off from Whitman Air Force

0:26:27.160 --> 0:26:31.679
<v Speaker 2>Base in Missouri. Refueled in the air, they head for

0:26:31.720 --> 0:26:35.080
<v Speaker 2>a remote mountain in north central Iran, far from civilians,

0:26:35.080 --> 0:26:38.040
<v Speaker 2>where they get Iran's most heavily fortified nuclear site, Foordoh

0:26:38.080 --> 0:26:40.680
<v Speaker 2>in their sights. They drop their giant thirty thousand palm

0:26:40.760 --> 0:26:43.920
<v Speaker 2>bunker busters, one after another, blasting a giant hole down

0:26:43.920 --> 0:26:46.200
<v Speaker 2>into the centrifuge halls that have been in the bullseye

0:26:46.560 --> 0:26:49.040
<v Speaker 2>since Barack Obama and other leaders of Britain and France

0:26:49.119 --> 0:26:53.240
<v Speaker 2>revealed their existence in two thousand and nine, destroying them.

0:26:53.240 --> 0:26:54.840
<v Speaker 1>And they turn around and they fly back.

0:26:55.320 --> 0:26:58.480
<v Speaker 2>It's something that they take off from Missouri, fly all

0:26:58.520 --> 0:27:00.560
<v Speaker 2>the way there, drop the bombs in, then fly all

0:27:00.560 --> 0:27:04.120
<v Speaker 2>the way back. Right with all our bases around the world,

0:27:04.200 --> 0:27:07.440
<v Speaker 2>we don't want those B twos anywhere but in the homeland.

0:27:07.640 --> 0:27:12.920
<v Speaker 2>I guess that's my assumption too valuable, to important and

0:27:13.160 --> 0:27:16.520
<v Speaker 2>so little used. Maybe why would you why would you

0:27:16.600 --> 0:27:18.520
<v Speaker 2>keep them anywhere but in the middle of the United

0:27:18.560 --> 0:27:21.399
<v Speaker 2>States where they're safe well, right, and if you can

0:27:21.440 --> 0:27:24.520
<v Speaker 2>get them anywhere on Earth virtually and you know, within

0:27:24.600 --> 0:27:29.040
<v Speaker 2>a day, that's pretty quick. H Wow, that's going to

0:27:29.119 --> 0:27:31.680
<v Speaker 2>be exciting to watch when it happens. What's your sense

0:27:31.680 --> 0:27:37.919
<v Speaker 2>of how much heads up will have, Like, will we

0:27:37.960 --> 0:27:41.120
<v Speaker 2>hear about it after it happened or will we be

0:27:41.200 --> 0:27:47.880
<v Speaker 2>watching it live on television? The former, I think it'll

0:27:47.880 --> 0:27:52.720
<v Speaker 2>be will be told it has happened. Although with like

0:27:53.280 --> 0:27:56.040
<v Speaker 2>open source intelligence, the Twitter account we both like so much,

0:27:57.359 --> 0:28:01.280
<v Speaker 2>people are very very good at not reading the tea leaves.

0:28:01.320 --> 0:28:04.719
<v Speaker 2>It's just seeing, all right, this refueling plane was just

0:28:04.800 --> 0:28:09.119
<v Speaker 2>moved to this base. Uh, these pilots were just scrambled bubbah,

0:28:09.280 --> 0:28:11.880
<v Speaker 2>and people figure it out. Well, have you been following

0:28:11.880 --> 0:28:14.639
<v Speaker 2>the whole pizza thing that they do a number of

0:28:14.680 --> 0:28:17.239
<v Speaker 2>websites are doing a thing. So yeah, So there are

0:28:17.320 --> 0:28:20.639
<v Speaker 2>some uh oh go ahead sorry Dominoes and various pizza

0:28:20.640 --> 0:28:26.480
<v Speaker 2>places around uh DC that when they get super crazy busy,

0:28:26.600 --> 0:28:29.280
<v Speaker 2>it's because they know people are up late having big

0:28:29.880 --> 0:28:32.920
<v Speaker 2>all night meetings and everybody's at work at the Pentagon,

0:28:33.400 --> 0:28:36.080
<v Speaker 2>you usually means something big is about to happen or

0:28:36.119 --> 0:28:40.240
<v Speaker 2>is going on, which is pretty an interesting way to

0:28:40.280 --> 0:28:45.200
<v Speaker 2>figure it out. Our fighting men and women deserve better pizza.

0:28:45.960 --> 0:28:50.200
<v Speaker 2>That's funny that even our civilian employees. I'm a fiscal conservative.

0:28:50.320 --> 0:28:53.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to waste money, but you got you

0:28:53.120 --> 0:28:55.320
<v Speaker 2>got some of our smartest minds deciding whether or not

0:28:55.360 --> 0:28:57.560
<v Speaker 2>to kick off World War three, and you're getting them dominoes.

0:28:57.960 --> 0:28:58.120
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:28:58.200 --> 0:28:59.200
<v Speaker 1>Send that to who Iran.

0:29:00.520 --> 0:29:02.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it'll be so busy on the pot they won't

0:29:02.880 --> 0:29:04.880
<v Speaker 2>be Oh wait a minute, sorry, I'm coming off like

0:29:04.960 --> 0:29:08.040
<v Speaker 2>Jimmy Fallon taking shots. As to what you call it, Arby,

0:29:08.080 --> 0:29:10.520
<v Speaker 2>I think you could get sued for that. You're it

0:29:10.640 --> 0:29:17.680
<v Speaker 2>was stated that Domino's peach. I didn't I misspoke. Okay, yes, Katie,

0:29:18.160 --> 0:29:19.960
<v Speaker 2>don't don't go knock in the dominoes.

0:29:20.360 --> 0:29:21.960
<v Speaker 1>We don't want it's too good to send Iran. We

0:29:22.000 --> 0:29:24.120
<v Speaker 1>got to send them something worse. I haven't had Dominoes

0:29:24.120 --> 0:29:24.720
<v Speaker 1>in a long time.

0:29:24.920 --> 0:29:25.160
<v Speaker 2>Dude.

0:29:25.200 --> 0:29:27.880
<v Speaker 4>I try their stuffed crust this last weekend, and it.

0:29:27.920 --> 0:29:28.840
<v Speaker 1>Was so good.

0:29:28.880 --> 0:29:30.560
<v Speaker 2>You what, my son and I are going to try that.

0:29:30.600 --> 0:29:32.400
<v Speaker 2>Maybe tonight, my son and I have Domino's pizza. I

0:29:32.440 --> 0:29:33.720
<v Speaker 2>haven't had it in a long dim. I should give

0:29:33.720 --> 0:29:36.400
<v Speaker 2>them another try. You know you're a flip flopper. You're

0:29:36.440 --> 0:29:41.840
<v Speaker 2>condemning them seconds ago, but based on perhaps old data.

0:29:43.520 --> 0:29:46.160
<v Speaker 2>Perhaps that's right, outdated information about Dominoes.

0:29:46.200 --> 0:29:47.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I should try it again too.

0:29:47.640 --> 0:29:50.600
<v Speaker 2>When the facts change, you change your mind. You're not

0:29:50.640 --> 0:29:55.000
<v Speaker 2>a flip flopper, You're Churchillian. We've got mail Bank coming

0:29:55.080 --> 0:30:02.200
<v Speaker 2>up next. So our friend Tim Sanderfer has got a

0:30:02.240 --> 0:30:06.840
<v Speaker 2>little information about how Juneteenth that's today is the United

0:30:06.840 --> 0:30:12.280
<v Speaker 2>States most libertarian holiday. I'm actually going to read that

0:30:12.320 --> 0:30:15.760
<v Speaker 2>and try to understand it. Got to admit, I don't

0:30:15.960 --> 0:30:19.720
<v Speaker 2>quite have my head wrapped around Juneteenth, which is a

0:30:19.760 --> 0:30:22.239
<v Speaker 2>company holiday for us. I found out when I got

0:30:22.280 --> 0:30:25.920
<v Speaker 2>to work national holiday. The fact that Joe Biden right,

0:30:26.000 --> 0:30:28.320
<v Speaker 2>the fact that we're all working today is a little racist.

0:30:30.760 --> 0:30:33.480
<v Speaker 2>By whom are we the racists or we the people

0:30:33.480 --> 0:30:34.520
<v Speaker 2>that compelled.

0:30:34.120 --> 0:30:35.600
<v Speaker 1>Me to work? I think I don't know. You and

0:30:35.640 --> 0:30:40.680
<v Speaker 1>Michael keep me out of it. Fair enough. Here's your

0:30:40.680 --> 0:30:41.920
<v Speaker 1>Freedom Woman quote of the day.

0:30:42.680 --> 0:30:46.880
<v Speaker 2>It's from Andre Breton, French writer and poet, co founder,

0:30:46.960 --> 0:30:49.680
<v Speaker 2>leader and principal theorist of surrealism.

0:30:50.240 --> 0:30:51.960
<v Speaker 1>Oh wow, he said.

0:30:51.720 --> 0:30:54.200
<v Speaker 2>There is nothing with which it is so dangerous to

0:30:54.240 --> 0:30:59.360
<v Speaker 2>take liberties as liberty itself. I might rephrase that is,

0:31:00.120 --> 0:31:05.560
<v Speaker 2>don't take liberties with liberty, protect it fiercely. Got you, yeah,

0:31:05.720 --> 0:31:12.160
<v Speaker 2>mailbag boot boot a note. Yeah, kind of like you

0:31:12.160 --> 0:31:15.840
<v Speaker 2>should believe in moderation, including you know, moderation and moderation

0:31:16.400 --> 0:31:20.640
<v Speaker 2>exact that it's one of them. Yep, you can drop

0:31:20.720 --> 0:31:22.800
<v Speaker 2>us a note mail bag At Armstrong and Giddy dot com.

0:31:22.880 --> 0:31:28.120
<v Speaker 2>Jessin Wiley, Texas writes on the Supreme Court transgender ruling

0:31:28.480 --> 0:31:32.640
<v Speaker 2>the other day and New York Times magazine coverage of it.

0:31:32.680 --> 0:31:36.120
<v Speaker 2>The problem isn't the transgender faults. It's that, much like

0:31:36.200 --> 0:31:39.760
<v Speaker 2>string theory and experimental jazz, most Americans can't grasp it

0:31:39.800 --> 0:31:44.000
<v Speaker 2>with their dumb, cheeseburger brains. That's her characterization of the

0:31:44.280 --> 0:31:45.640
<v Speaker 2>New York Times characterisation.

0:31:45.760 --> 0:31:48.040
<v Speaker 1>That's pretty funny. I must I actually read part of it,

0:31:48.080 --> 0:31:49.840
<v Speaker 1>and I'm digging into it.

0:31:49.960 --> 0:31:51.960
<v Speaker 2>I must have a cheeseburger brain because I have tried

0:31:51.960 --> 0:31:55.040
<v Speaker 2>to understand string theory and quantum physics and I just

0:31:55.360 --> 0:31:57.040
<v Speaker 2>cannot get it.

0:31:57.480 --> 0:31:57.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:31:57.720 --> 0:31:59.600
<v Speaker 2>I gave up more or less at the beginning, so

0:32:00.280 --> 0:32:05.600
<v Speaker 2>uh frequent correspond to JT and liber war on the

0:32:05.640 --> 0:32:08.080
<v Speaker 2>topic of a crazy, crazy Iran. Iran has sworn to

0:32:08.080 --> 0:32:10.440
<v Speaker 2>destroy Israel and all the Jews. To that end, Iran

0:32:10.440 --> 0:32:13.520
<v Speaker 2>has empowered and sponsored several nation states to also attack Israel.

0:32:14.000 --> 0:32:16.880
<v Speaker 2>Iran sanctioned tens of thousands of missile attacks from Lebanon

0:32:16.880 --> 0:32:19.240
<v Speaker 2>and Gaza, attacked there's Raeli ships at sea, and of

0:32:19.320 --> 0:32:22.920
<v Speaker 2>course all the atrocities on October seventh were facilitated and

0:32:22.960 --> 0:32:27.320
<v Speaker 2>condoned by Iran. Iran also pays families of suicide bombers

0:32:27.320 --> 0:32:30.320
<v Speaker 2>a pension if their children killed Jews and a suicide attack.

0:32:30.720 --> 0:32:32.240
<v Speaker 1>Many people would call any.

0:32:32.160 --> 0:32:35.440
<v Speaker 2>Or all of these actions acts of war, but apparently

0:32:35.440 --> 0:32:39.200
<v Speaker 2>Iran didn't actually declare war. In fact, Iran claims Israel's

0:32:39.240 --> 0:32:42.800
<v Speaker 2>attacks are the declaration of war. What does it say

0:32:42.840 --> 0:32:45.080
<v Speaker 2>about Iran that they swear to destroy Israel, get four

0:32:45.160 --> 0:32:48.520
<v Speaker 2>nation states to attack Israel, culminating on October seventh, then

0:32:48.560 --> 0:32:51.480
<v Speaker 2>blame Israel for daring to fight back. Question, how do

0:32:51.520 --> 0:32:54.160
<v Speaker 2>you deal rationally with people and countries that are irrationally

0:32:54.320 --> 0:32:57.520
<v Speaker 2>saw somebody pointing out yesterday that during the Iran Raq

0:32:57.560 --> 0:33:00.560
<v Speaker 2>war in the eighties and which a million people died.

0:33:01.720 --> 0:33:04.840
<v Speaker 2>Iran was using children to send out into mine fields

0:33:04.920 --> 0:33:07.200
<v Speaker 2>to try to clear minefields. That's how they would do it,

0:33:07.240 --> 0:33:09.000
<v Speaker 2>and tell their parents. You know, they're going to be

0:33:09.040 --> 0:33:13.600
<v Speaker 2>martyred and they'll be welcome by However, that whole thing

0:33:13.640 --> 0:33:16.719
<v Speaker 2>works after the dead, So send the kids out there

0:33:16.760 --> 0:33:18.440
<v Speaker 2>to get their legs blown off. Figure out where the

0:33:18.480 --> 0:33:18.920
<v Speaker 2>minds are.

0:33:19.200 --> 0:33:23.840
<v Speaker 1>Nice culture. Yeah, indeed, his ps is.

0:33:23.880 --> 0:33:26.560
<v Speaker 2>Following your discussion about how China has so many big

0:33:26.600 --> 0:33:29.400
<v Speaker 2>successful laps that are stealing data from every customer, I

0:33:29.440 --> 0:33:32.160
<v Speaker 2>realized at least one day devastating way that China could

0:33:32.360 --> 0:33:34.960
<v Speaker 2>use that info in a coordinated attack against the US

0:33:35.000 --> 0:33:36.960
<v Speaker 2>if they ever decided to. China could take all the

0:33:36.960 --> 0:33:39.479
<v Speaker 2>credit card information they're supposed to be keeping safe, secret,

0:33:39.480 --> 0:33:41.720
<v Speaker 2>and secure. They could flood the e commerce world with

0:33:41.800 --> 0:33:45.080
<v Speaker 2>hundreds of millions of false charges, false money transfer requests,

0:33:45.120 --> 0:33:48.520
<v Speaker 2>and other general bogus financial interactions. Imagine the chaosk and

0:33:48.600 --> 0:33:52.280
<v Speaker 2>confusion if along with our attacking our power, water, and communications,

0:33:52.280 --> 0:33:54.280
<v Speaker 2>they also used all those credit cards to make bogus

0:33:54.280 --> 0:33:57.920
<v Speaker 2>purchases and cash advances trust China. He says, that would

0:33:57.960 --> 0:34:01.400
<v Speaker 2>be the most annoying attack that I can imagine. There

0:34:01.400 --> 0:34:04.160
<v Speaker 2>are other attacks where I think I'd rather you blew

0:34:04.240 --> 0:34:06.640
<v Speaker 2>up my house or my car. Then you gave me

0:34:06.680 --> 0:34:08.680
<v Speaker 2>a bunch of paperwork that I'm gonna have to straighten

0:34:08.680 --> 0:34:12.000
<v Speaker 2>out over months. Yeah, if the water is shut off,

0:34:12.040 --> 0:34:14.520
<v Speaker 2>the need to straighten out a false cash.

0:34:14.320 --> 0:34:16.360
<v Speaker 1>Advance is fairly a minor concern.

0:34:16.480 --> 0:34:23.040
<v Speaker 2>But uh, let's see, uh skip around. How about side

0:34:23.080 --> 0:34:25.320
<v Speaker 2>show Bob, I haven't heard anyone mention the threat of

0:34:25.360 --> 0:34:28.600
<v Speaker 2>potential terrorist attacks here linked to Iran. We've been told

0:34:28.640 --> 0:34:31.560
<v Speaker 2>that large numbers of suspicious Middle Eastern citizens across the border,

0:34:31.719 --> 0:34:34.359
<v Speaker 2>So wouldn't it make sense that their Iranian handlers would

0:34:34.360 --> 0:34:36.400
<v Speaker 2>give them the green light if they perceive were declaring

0:34:36.400 --> 0:34:37.000
<v Speaker 2>war on them?

0:34:37.320 --> 0:34:38.280
<v Speaker 1>This is my fear.

0:34:38.600 --> 0:34:40.879
<v Speaker 2>Brings up another question, why haven't we heard of any

0:34:40.960 --> 0:34:44.200
<v Speaker 2>deportations of Middle Eastern or Chinese people? And is the

0:34:44.280 --> 0:34:47.280
<v Speaker 2>DHS and their leadership being too myopic about their mission.

0:34:47.560 --> 0:34:51.439
<v Speaker 2>It's a discussion for another day. So today's Thursday, by

0:34:51.440 --> 0:34:54.680
<v Speaker 2>the way, and remember the Israelian bassador of the United

0:34:54.719 --> 0:34:57.680
<v Speaker 2>States said Thursday or Friday, you're going to see something

0:34:57.719 --> 0:35:02.920
<v Speaker 2>that makes the pager attack pale and compared Garrison. So Okay,

0:35:03.640 --> 0:35:05.920
<v Speaker 2>is that gonna happen the day or tomorrow. Israel is

0:35:06.000 --> 0:35:10.120
<v Speaker 2>well ahead of us time zone wise. Yeah, so yeah,

0:35:10.120 --> 0:35:11.880
<v Speaker 2>it's it's getting late on Thursday.

0:35:12.000 --> 0:35:14.399
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, clock's a ticken. Don't lie to me, man.

0:35:15.760 --> 0:35:20.560
<v Speaker 2>I want some exciting uh Ted Cruz and Tucker getting

0:35:20.560 --> 0:35:23.520
<v Speaker 2>into it, kind of explaining the whole rift in the

0:35:23.560 --> 0:35:25.520
<v Speaker 2>Mago world. We can get into that in now or two,

0:35:25.520 --> 0:35:27.760
<v Speaker 2>among other things. Get the podcast you missed the segment

0:35:28.160 --> 0:35:29.280
<v Speaker 2>Armstrong and Getdy
