1
00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:06,160
Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

2
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:09,920
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.

3
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:17,479
Speaker 2: Armstrong and Getty, I know he Armstrong and Eddy.

4
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:27,800
Speaker 3: The next steps for China, sir, Well, we'll see what

5
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 3: happens with China. We would love to be able to

6
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 3: work a deal. They've really taken advantage of our country

7
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:38,560
Speaker 3: for a long period of time. They've ripped us off

8
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:44,200
Speaker 3: beyond anybody, nobody. How people stood for it, sitting in

9
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 3: my position is not even believable. And we're talking about

10
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 3: many presidents, not just in a couple, but they did,

11
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 3: and Alwadi is putting it back in shape. We're resetting

12
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 3: the table.

13
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 4: So that's from a cabinet meeting that they had yesterday.

14
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 4: We got some more audio from from that coming up

15
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 4: in just a second. But in case you're not hipped

16
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 4: to a couple of the developments that happened in the

17
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 4: last twenty four hours. The market was reacting and people

18
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 4: were talking about tariffs on all Chinese goods being at

19
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:19,039
Speaker 4: one hundred and twenty five percent I think anyway, Trump

20
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 4: pointed out later in the day, No, no, it's actually

21
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 4: one hundred and forty five percent. So I'm adding this

22
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 4: to the other thing that I had like a month

23
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 4: ago or whatever. So the tariff on all Chinese goods

24
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 4: coming into the United States, the stuff on all the

25
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 4: shelves and Walmart or the buy on Amazon that's from China,

26
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 4: one hundred and forty five percent right now. And as

27
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 4: soon as that news was clarified, the Dow tumbled quite

28
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 4: a bit yesterday.

29
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 1: As everybody caught onto that.

30
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 4: And then overnight tariff China announced they're raising their tariff

31
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 4: on all US goods coming into their country to one

32
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 4: hundred and twenty five percent, So one hundred and forty

33
00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 4: five coming to the US one hundred and twenty five

34
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 4: going into China. That is a full blown trade war

35
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 4: between the two biggest economies that have ever existed.

36
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 1: On the planet. So that's that situation.

37
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 4: Got some more commentary for variety of people on that

38
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 4: how that's going to play out. I have no idea,

39
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 4: and neither does anybody else. I don't think Trump is

40
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 4: betting his entire presidency on a good outcome, no doubt.

41
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 4: Marco Rubio pretty serious guy. He was asked about this

42
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,359
Speaker 4: yesterday in the cabinet meeting. This is what he said, Well.

43
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 5: Mister President, one of the most important things I believe

44
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 5: that you'll achieve in your presidency is re ordering the

45
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 5: world in a proper way. For thirty one years, more

46
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,959
Speaker 5: than thirty one years now, multiple administrations have allowed the

47
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:40,799
Speaker 5: Chinese to de industrialize this country, to take away jobs

48
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 5: and factories and the pillars of our national strength. And

49
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 5: what you're doing now, I think is a great service

50
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 5: to our country, but ultimately to the world. And I

51
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 5: want to congratulate you on your team that's working on that,

52
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 5: because that has extraordinary geopolitical implications, as you see from

53
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 5: all these other countries that are now coming here and

54
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 5: wanting to join something that actually makes just this it's

55
00:02:57,800 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 5: crazy to allow these I mean, basically, we lived in

56
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 5: a world where country Chinese companies can do whatever they

57
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 5: want in America, but our companies cannot do anything over

58
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 5: there unless they allow it, and even then they steal

59
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 5: our stuff and reverse engineer it. So just reordering all

60
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:14,679
Speaker 5: that as traumatic implications on peace of security of the world.

61
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 5: So we thank you.

62
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 1: Yeah.

63
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:21,239
Speaker 4: China has been ripping off the entire world, and since

64
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 4: we're the biggest economy, it affected us the most. For

65
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 4: a very very long time acknowledging that I'm all for.

66
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 4: I think it's a good idea. Whether this total tariff

67
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 4: thing is what's going to fix that, I don't have

68
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 4: any idea. This story got a lot of attention yesterday.

69
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 4: I feel like it's overblown. This is from ABC News.

70
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 6: Already consumers are feeling the effects. One shopper for Athletic

71
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 6: where spotting something different on an invoice from a recent order,

72
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 6: a new line that says tariff surcharge sixteen dollars and

73
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 6: sixty two cents.

74
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, so one place somewhere they put on the

75
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 4: receipt tariff search. I saw that on like eight different

76
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 4: news sources yesterday. Okay, is that sweeping the nation? Are

77
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 4: lots of businesses doing that? Because I saw the same

78
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 4: one over and over again. So come on news. If

79
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 4: that's the only one in the country, it means nothing.

80
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,479
Speaker 4: If we all start seeing that on receipts, obviously it

81
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 4: means a lot. But the Trump aiding media loved that story.

82
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:31,279
Speaker 4: How about this. This is a person on CNN also

83
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 4: with a negative spin on it.

84
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 2: The global economy from inflation numbers that we've got, it's slowing.

85
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 2: It's gonna get worse. It's gonna get much worse because

86
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 2: everybody has to readjust their supply lines to accommodate this

87
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 2: new reality.

88
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:49,039
Speaker 1: So that's that side of it.

89
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 4: How about we hear the other side of it, people

90
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 4: who think this is gonna work. Maria Bartiromo on Hannity

91
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 4: last night, fifty.

92
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 7: Four, Michael, President Trump is not going to back down

93
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 7: on this because at this point we all know who

94
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 7: the adversary slash enemy is, and the US consumer is

95
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 7: paramount here. China needs to sell all of those products

96
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 7: that they're producing for the world to the very powerful

97
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 7: US consumer. So if China wants to keep doubling down,

98
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 7: it is not going to be good for the Chinese economy.

99
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 8: The economy there right.

100
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,559
Speaker 7: Now is a lot weaker than people know, and this

101
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 7: huge tariff on its products is not going to be good.

102
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 9: Man.

103
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,159
Speaker 1: It's a heck of a thing for the world economy.

104
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 4: The two biggest economies locked in a trade war in

105
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 4: a situation where there are two men and two men

106
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:40,720
Speaker 4: only really that are, you know, playing a game of

107
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 4: chicken and staring each other down. She and Trumps. You

108
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 4: wouldn't think this many trillions of dollars could be on

109
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 4: the line and in the hands of or in the

110
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:56,479
Speaker 4: minds of just two guys, it's really quite extraordinary. We

111
00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 4: like Victor David Hanson, historian, and which he's very proud of.

112
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 1: This is how he thinks it's going to play out.

113
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 10: If Donald Trump can cut a deal with one major player,

114
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 10: and I think that Scott dosn't can, preferably in Europe,

115
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 10: because what he's basically saying, if it's reciprocal or no tariffs,

116
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 10: zero tariffs, they're going to want to make a deal

117
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 10: just one or two major players, and I think all

118
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 10: the rest will follow, and China's not going.

119
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 1: To like that.

120
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 4: I don't claim to know anything about this sort of stuff.

121
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,599
Speaker 4: I do kind of get the geopolitics of it, though,

122
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 4: and I could certainly believe that she thinks that United

123
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,160
Speaker 4: States because he doesn't. They don't, you know, Communists don't

124
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:42,280
Speaker 4: believe in democracies, don't believe democracies work because the authoritarianism

125
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 4: is a way to go, because then you can make

126
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 4: all these important decisions that the populace is not smart

127
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 4: enough to understand.

128
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: So she thinks that.

129
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:53,719
Speaker 4: There will be enough political pressure and enough negative news

130
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:58,039
Speaker 4: on this that Trump will brett back down. I think

131
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:02,160
Speaker 4: Trump is the rare rarest of rare birds. We were

132
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 4: talking about profiles and lack of courage with Kamala Harris

133
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 4: Last Hour with Lonnie Chen. If you didn't hear that,

134
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 4: get the podcast Armstrong and getting on demand. But it

135
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 4: is a profile and courage, perhaps some of you think misplaced,

136
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 4: But it is a profile and courage to lay your

137
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 4: entire presidency on the line for this. And I think

138
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 4: Trump will stick with it and not blink in the

139
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 4: way that president she thinks, and maybe at some point

140
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 4: President she realizes, Wow, this guy is crazy enough to

141
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 4: take this clear to the wall. We got to do something.

142
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 4: We gotta call him up and make a deal. I

143
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 4: hope that's what happens.

144
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 1: Was there one more clip that I wanted to have?

145
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 1: I thought I had one more. I don't know. I

146
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: don't know.

147
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 4: Maybe later I didn't want to hit you with this

148
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 4: from the Wall Street Journal one more time. This is

149
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 4: from the editorial board of the Wall Street Journal. What

150
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 4: investors know is that the trade war is far from

151
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 4: over and damage persists even with the ninety day pause.

152
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 1: The tariffs that continue on all other countries and.

153
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 4: One hundred and forty five percent on China are the

154
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 4: largest tax increase on the American people since nineteen eighty two.

155
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 4: They're bigger than Bill Clinton's nineteen ninety three tax increase

156
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 4: and George HW. Bush's in nineteen ninety taxes, of course,

157
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 4: are anti growths, as the Wall Street Journal, Trump believes

158
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 4: that it is worth it. I'll play one more clip

159
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 4: for you. This is Trump and the term he's using

160
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 4: to describe this clip forty. If you would, Michael, clip forty.

161
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 4: This is Trump describing what this is. He's not denying

162
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 4: that there's going to be this giant tax using my

163
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,440
Speaker 4: finger quotes on the American people. He's just saying it's

164
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 4: part of the plant. Which slip was that forty.

165
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,439
Speaker 1: So we think we're in very good shape. We think

166
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 1: we're doing very well. Again.

167
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 3: There'll be a transition cost and.

168
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 11: Transition problems, but in the end it's going to be

169
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 11: it's going to be a beautiful thing. We're doing again

170
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 11: what we should have done many years ago. We'll let

171
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 11: it get out of control, and we allowed some countries

172
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 11: to get very big and very rich at our expense,

173
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 11: and we're not gonna can't let that happen.

174
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 9: Can't.

175
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:16,839
Speaker 3: It's not a sustainable.

176
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 4: Formula transition costs, which I guarantee you will be mocked

177
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 4: greatly by the left as these higher prices start to

178
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 4: hit in the next days, weeks, months, I don't know

179
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:28,680
Speaker 4: how long that's going to take. You're gonna hear that

180
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 4: over and over again in a mocking way. The Biden

181
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 4: administration tried to pretend that inflation wasn't real and wasn't happening.

182
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 4: Trump's going with the Yeah, this is gonna happen, and

183
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 4: it's going to be painful, but it's a transition we

184
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 4: have to go through to get where we want to

185
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 4: be and get China to back down, and we'll see

186
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 4: if he's right or not. But so that's what we

187
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 4: all get to look forward to in the spring. In

188
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 4: the summer, maybe change your vacation plans or not.

189
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 1: I don't know.

190
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 4: Actually, there's some news out in the Wall Street Journal

191
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 4: today that just came out in the last couple hours

192
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:00,959
Speaker 4: about consumer confidence that is really not good.

193
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 1: Maybe we'll get to that at a different time. Stay

194
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:07,680
Speaker 1: with us. I'm sorry.

195
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 12: Trump's getting his physical tomorrow, and while I'm sure his

196
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 12: doctors will be very thorough, I wanted to ask him

197
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 12: some questions myself. So if you don't mind, thank you,

198
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 12: mister president, thank you for talking to us about your health.

199
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 1: First off, how much do you weigh? That's classified information.

200
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 12: I understood, But how would you describe yourself?

201
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 1: I'm a perfect physical specimen and I'm very very.

202
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:33,959
Speaker 12: Young, Kem Burman, He says, here you're getting a proseate exam.

203
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:35,959
Speaker 1: How's that going to go for you?

204
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 4: You are going to hear the wailing and shrieking.

205
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 1: Okay, that's enough.

206
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 12: Now forgive me for asking, but are you getting up

207
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 12: a lot of night to Yearnate?

208
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: It goes drip? Okay?

209
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 12: Just for just for our record, can you tell me

210
00:10:58,280 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 12: the name of your doctor?

211
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 1: Doctor had of electric? Okay, very good?

212
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 12: And uh, who would you like to put as your

213
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 12: emergency contact?

214
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 5: There?

215
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,199
Speaker 8: Your wife Elon Musk Okay.

216
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 4: So that's always exciting every year, well it has been

217
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 4: for the last couple of terms because we have such

218
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 4: ancient presidents. Wasn't really a big deal when it was

219
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:20,319
Speaker 4: Barack obaum Er George H. W.

220
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:20,840
Speaker 1: Bush.

221
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 4: You looked at him and thought, Okay, you're about fifty

222
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:24,200
Speaker 4: and you look to be in really good shape, So

223
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 4: what are you getting physical? But now that we got

224
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 4: really really old presidents. It's kind of interesting. I wonder

225
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 4: how honest they'll be about his height and weight and

226
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 4: blood pressure and everything. Of course, they weren't honest about

227
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 4: Joe Biden's mental capacity at all. Some texts we got

228
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 4: coming in. Oh, first, someone to mention the uh, how

229
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 4: about that ballerina we got back from Russia. That story

230
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 4: is interesting. Maybe we'll talk more about that later. We

231
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:56,719
Speaker 4: traded a scumbag criminal Russian to Vladimir to get back

232
00:11:56,760 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 4: this ballerina whose crime was she donated fifty four dollars

233
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 4: to a Ukrainian cause yep, and Russia grabbed off for

234
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 4: twelve years. He's going to put in a Russian prison

235
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 4: for twelve years, and she's young. We got to put

236
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 4: a stop to that. We can't have North Korea, Iran, Russia,

237
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 4: China grabbing citizens off the street and then they get

238
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 4: back scumbag criminals in return. We got to end that somehow.

239
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 4: But different topic for a different time from the text line.

240
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 4: I was talking a fair amount about corporate training, because

241
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 4: I spent a couple hours doing that yesterday. Not to

242
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 4: complain about the company I work for. Every company does it.

243
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 4: I realize they're forced to do it. It's not their choice,

244
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 4: but we all know it's a complete waste of time,

245
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 4: and I it's one of the things I wish Doge

246
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 4: could get rid of. It is unproductive, it's a waste

247
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,679
Speaker 4: of money, and we all know that. You know it.

248
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 4: And then when you tell your boss you finished the training,

249
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 4: he knows it's a waste of time, or she and

250
00:12:58,320 --> 00:12:59,839
Speaker 4: their boss knows it's a waste of time. Yet we

251
00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 4: all I'll do it. We got text from people in

252
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 4: different areas of work. Oh, we talked about how there,

253
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 4: Why are they so long? And I said that maybe

254
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 4: they have to be a certain length. Yes, actually it's

255
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 4: legislated that some mandatory training be at least a particular length,

256
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 4: like two hours or whatever. No mention of mastery of

257
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 4: the topic or what you learned, just the amount of

258
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 4: time spent. Oh, for cry it out loud, how government

259
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 4: is that it doesn't matter whether you actually learned anything

260
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 4: or it's accomplishing anything. It's just got to be this

261
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:35,319
Speaker 4: length an hour and twenty minutes, to prove that you've.

262
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 8: Yeah, because the government says so.

263
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 1: I hate this sort of thing so much.

264
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 4: We got this text, I just got to work an

265
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 4: hour early to do harassment training for the third time.

266
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:48,719
Speaker 1: Every year, three times a year.

267
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 4: Even though studies show it doesn't accomplish anything.

268
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:52,839
Speaker 1: If anything, it leads to.

269
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 4: More sexual harassment, but it doesn't. I assume you all

270
00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 4: know this, but I'll say it for the eighty millionth time.

271
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 4: It's to keep the lawyers at bay. If they give

272
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 4: this sexual harassment training and you get you sexually harassed somebody,

273
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 4: you can't go to the company and say I didn't know,

274
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,839
Speaker 4: I wasn't supposed to slap her on the ass, and

275
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 4: then you sue the company for a million dollars and

276
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 4: a jury full of morons. And that's why we are

277
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 4: always yes, serve on juries. Don't try to get out

278
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 4: of jury duty because you don't want morons. Well, who

279
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 4: say the company owes this guy millions of dollars because

280
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 4: he claims he didn't know he was most slapper on

281
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 4: the ass because he didn't get any training. That's why

282
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 4: we're doing all this training to avoid those lawsuits.

283
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 1: Very very maddening. Different topic.

284
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 4: I brought up how I spilled coffee all over my

285
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 4: chest on the way to work, like I often do

286
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 4: because I can't drink out of most travel mugs. I

287
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 4: just they don't work for me, and I've gotten a

288
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 4: bunch of text from people who have had the same

289
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 4: problem who really like some of them. The Zorushie zog

290
00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 4: Rushie sixteen out stainless steel muggets the best. The lid

291
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 4: opens past one hundred and eighty degrees so that your

292
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 4: nose has space. Everybody have the same complaint as me.

293
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 4: If the flip up lid doesn't fold back far enough,

294
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 4: your nose gets in the way, so you have to

295
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 4: tip the cup up so high to drink out of it.

296
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 4: You're not looking at the roads. You can't drink it

297
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 4: while you drive your car. I'm looking at this thing.

298
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 4: Still still some head tipping required.

299
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 1: Okay. Other people suggested the Stanley mug. That is very

300
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 1: very good.

301
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 4: It's like forty Bucks or the Broommate. I'm not advertising

302
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 4: any of these. The Broommate specifically because the lid flops

303
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 4: all the way back.

304
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 1: So you can drink out of your coffee mug.

305
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 8: So okay, this one looks like it might be a winner.

306
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, there you go.

307
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 4: I just want to point out I'm not the only

308
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 4: person that has noticed that flaw in the design of

309
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 4: the little thing. That flips up. Look at this one

310
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 4: my nose right there. That's how far I can tip

311
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 4: the thing. You can't drink coffee like that.

312
00:15:57,920 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 8: No, you cannot.

313
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 1: You gotta tip your head way back that it's this

314
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 1: is tragic.

315
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 8: Yeah, I recommend to yetti.

316
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 1: You like that. Yeah, my wife has them. We use

317
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 1: them all the time. They're not cheap.

318
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 13: You're drinking out of a thirty dollars Starbucks mug that

319
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 13: you don't like.

320
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 1: Uh, that's true.

321
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 8: And the YETI is thirty dollars.

322
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 4: We're gonna talk to my clients coming up a little

323
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 4: bit and one to get him on for weeks. We

324
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 4: could talk about the fact that we're going to bomb

325
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 4: the crap out of Iran soon. We could talk about

326
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 4: obviously Israel or Ukraine. I don't know if I'll get

327
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 4: to that. China getting jump here all the time. How

328
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 4: about Trump fire in all these military people, a bunch

329
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 4: of different generals in various positions, and the you know,

330
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 4: the NPR world calling it a purge. Is this something

331
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 4: I should be worried about or is he just putting

332
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 4: people in place that agree with his philosophy more. I'm

333
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 4: not particularly worried about it. One time, we are quoting

334
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 4: retired generals to Mike Lions, and I remember him saying,

335
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 4: there's like a thousand retired generals out there, So just

336
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:07,679
Speaker 4: because there's a retired general, you don't have to give

337
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 4: them some extra credit on what they have to say. Well,

338
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 4: we'll talk to Mike Lions coming up. If you miss

339
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 4: a seconment, get the podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand.

340
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getty.

341
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 5: An important meeting, thanks to you, is going to happen

342
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 5: on Saturday for the first time in a long time.

343
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 5: They'll be direct talks to Ambassador Woodcoff and a top

344
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 5: level leader in Iran. We hope that'll lead to peace.

345
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:30,440
Speaker 5: You've been very clear what Iran is never going to

346
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:32,679
Speaker 5: have as a nuclear weapon, and I think that's what

347
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 5: led to this meeting. We'll wait for him to come

348
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:36,439
Speaker 5: back from it, and we're hopeful about that.

349
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:40,200
Speaker 1: I like Marco Rubio saying it. Trump says it regularly.

350
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 4: I do remember hearing various presidents say, for instance, North

351
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 4: Korea would never get a nuclear weapon, or other people

352
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 4: would never get to do this or that, and then

353
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 4: they do it anyway, and we don't stop them. Don't

354
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 4: don't go into Ukraine, for instance, don't go into crimea

355
00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 4: joining us on the Armstrong and Getty Show, Mike Lions

356
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 4: is our go to whenever we're talking about this sort

357
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 4: of stuff. Mike served with various military organizations in the

358
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 4: US and Europe throughout his career. He served in Operation

00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 4: Desert Shield and Desert Storm. Ordered A Bronze Star. Also

360
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:16,479
Speaker 4: has a BS degree from the United States Military Academy

Speaker 4: New York University. You can find him on Twitter if

363
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 4: if something BIG's going on military, I always check his

364
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:28,120
Speaker 4: Twitter account at maj as in Major Mike liines Mike,

365
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 4: welcome back to the Armstrong and Getty Show.

366
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:32,360
Speaker 9: Hey Jack, thanks for having me back.

367
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 4: Let's start with Iran, Trump said a week or so ago,

368
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:40,159
Speaker 4: so they're having direct talks tomorrow. And Trump said a

369
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:42,120
Speaker 4: couple of weeks ago, if Rhan doesn't give up their

370
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 4: quest for a nuclear weapon, we would bomb them likes

371
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 4: of which they've never seen. Do you think he means it?

372
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 4: And do you think we can do it? And would

373
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 4: we do it?

374
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 9: Yeah?

375
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:56,120
Speaker 14: I think of all the things on the President's plate

376
00:18:56,200 --> 00:19:00,679
Speaker 14: right now when it comes to national security policy, this

377
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 14: is number one.

378
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:05,120
Speaker 9: This issue with Iran. It's been kicked down the road.

379
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 14: That can's gotten kicked down the road for the past

380
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:09,440
Speaker 14: ten or fifteen years now with the original JCPO way

381
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 14: back that Obama signed, and it's something that the President

382
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 14: wants to take care of. He does set a deadline.

383
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:17,400
Speaker 14: He's got a two month deadline with regard to having

384
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 14: this this conversation. But I do believe that should at

385
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:23,680
Speaker 14: the end of two months here, I think the rangings

386
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 14: are going to try to find the ball, but at

387
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 14: the end of two months, you're not going to see

388
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 14: any more progress. I don't believe that Iran has any

389
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:33,160
Speaker 14: intention of getting rid of their nuclear capability, and it's

390
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 14: going to force the hand of the master negotiator here

391
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 14: because it's likely that it's going to lead to a

392
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 14: military conflict.

393
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:47,159
Speaker 4: Well, to be charitable to Iran, they have been told

394
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 4: this multiple times and nobody followed through, so you know,

395
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 4: I can see why they would think we can get

396
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:55,119
Speaker 4: away with it again.

397
00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 14: Well, I think this time Israel is in much better

398
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,879
Speaker 14: position and would feel that they could be involved, having

399
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 14: literally taken out most of their air defense platforms, the

400
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:12,640
Speaker 14: destruction of the Uranian nuclear capability would be a very

401
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:16,639
Speaker 14: challenging military objective, and in fact, it likely couldn't be

402
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 14: completed just from the military. It would take continuous strikes,

403
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 14: it would take it's dispersed, it's in different areas.

404
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 9: And so that might not even accomplish the objectives.

405
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:29,159
Speaker 14: And what it only might do is just set the

406
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:33,199
Speaker 14: Uranians back years or so with regard to doing this.

407
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 14: I mean, the Israelis destroyed the Syrian nuclear capability, they

408
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 14: destroyed the Iraqi nuclear capability back in the eighties, and

409
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 14: they're not afraid to do it again. I think that's

410
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 14: the wild card. I think that's hanging in Donald Trump's

411
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:49,239
Speaker 14: pocket here as he's talking to the Ranians, knowing that

412
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:51,360
Speaker 14: if they don't do a deal with him, that he's

413
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:53,919
Speaker 14: going to unleash the Israelis on them, and they won't

414
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 14: stop until they know it's destroyed.

415
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 4: Right, And I don't think if for some reason we

416
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:02,359
Speaker 4: had a maybe Kamala Harris would have been against doing anything.

417
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 4: Probably Israel would have done it anyway. They don't have

418
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 4: quite the capability we have, but they would. They would

419
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:09,160
Speaker 4: have had to try, because what choice do they have.

420
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:12,879
Speaker 4: One of my favorite underreported stories is what you just

421
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 4: mentioned So we all remember when Iran launched that giant

422
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 4: drone attack against Israel and watched that unfold on a

423
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 4: Saturday morning and everything like that, and then Israel would respond,

424
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,119
Speaker 4: how would Israel respond? Izor responded, And a lot of

425
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:31,200
Speaker 4: the reporting was when Israel responded that it was kind

426
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 4: of a gesture.

427
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 1: It wasn't really that big a deal.

428
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 4: Iran from books I've read, wanted to downplay the response.

429
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 4: But in reality, what you just said, Israel took down

430
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 4: so many of their air defense weapons that they're in

431
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:49,880
Speaker 4: the best position. We're in the best position we've ever

432
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 4: been for a major attack on Iran. So what do

433
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 4: you think that would look like.

434
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 14: Well, I mean, we've already taken out the air defenses

435
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 14: around where their nuclear capability is.

436
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:02,719
Speaker 9: It's there.

437
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 14: They've got about eleven different sites that are scattered around ran.

438
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 14: They there's three basic components to make a nuclear bomb

439
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 14: and to mind it, you have to fortify it and

440
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 14: then you weaponize it. And the Israelis have taken out

441
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:20,119
Speaker 14: the main air defense platforms on all those sites. But

442
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 14: what it would look like, it would start with that again,

443
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 14: it would be it would be reinforcing that that any

444
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 14: kind of air defense systems. As the United States, anytime

445
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:32,360
Speaker 14: we attack, we go in with air superior air defense capability.

446
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 9: You could see naval fire, you could see Tomahawk cruise missiles.

447
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:37,399
Speaker 9: You know. My favorite part of that go back to

448
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:38,159
Speaker 9: the movie Maverick.

449
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:41,200
Speaker 14: Remember in Maverick when they fire the cruise missiles before

450
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 14: they go in and they fire.

451
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 9: The thing is they know that.

452
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:45,639
Speaker 14: Those air defense systems, so they don't take them out.

453
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 14: I don't understand why they don't do that, because they

454
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 14: guarantee it. If we know where there's air defense systems,

455
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 14: we would take those out and then they would have

456
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 14: bunker buster kind of bombs because we know that these

457
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 14: systems that the Iranians have set up are well underground.

458
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 14: They're designed to be survived, survivable, and it would be

459
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 14: the same thing again as you saw in that movie.

460
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 14: I mean, as life imitates art. The first kind of

461
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 14: tap softens the ground, and the second tap would go

462
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 14: deep and blow up, blow up the capability.

463
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:14,679
Speaker 9: So it would be it would be a war for

464
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:15,159
Speaker 9: you know the.

465
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:17,640
Speaker 14: Ages right now at this point, but because it would

466
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 14: have to be much bigger than any other kind of

467
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:21,879
Speaker 14: attack that Israel did before when.

468
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:23,719
Speaker 9: They took out a nuclear capability of another country.

469
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 4: So would it be fair to say this would be

470
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:30,440
Speaker 4: the biggest thing since March two thousand and three, when

471
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:32,679
Speaker 4: we you know, unleash shock and awe.

472
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 14: Yeah, I think so. I think it would. You know,

473
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 14: you'd have pilots that would be at risk. The question

474
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:42,880
Speaker 14: is what allies would come to iron side. They don't

475
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:45,440
Speaker 14: really have any military capability of the Russians wouldn't be able

476
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:48,399
Speaker 14: to do anything. It would That's the issue people are

477
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:51,640
Speaker 14: concerned about, is this escalation within within the Middle East.

478
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:54,680
Speaker 14: But the Saudi's would be all in. If we wanted

479
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 14: to do this, well, we'd grab allies from these other countries.

480
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 14: Again again, Trump's given himself two months to set the

481
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 14: situation of gaining allies on this side, seeing what the

482
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:05,879
Speaker 14: Uranians are going to do, you know, kind of winding

483
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:06,960
Speaker 14: up the war machine.

484
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 9: And I think that it would have it would be a.

485
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,440
Speaker 14: Very large, shotgun off type of attack. That's that's pretty

486
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 14: That's probably a pretty good analogy.

487
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:18,639
Speaker 4: So the history of warfare, as you know, is the

488
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:22,879
Speaker 4: countries thinking this is going to be over soon and

489
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 4: we're going to win easily. And I mean, there are

490
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 4: so many examples out there throughout history. It happens over

491
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:32,680
Speaker 4: and over again. I was just reading about the Six

492
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 4: Day War Israel and Egypt and the other countries, and

493
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:39,439
Speaker 4: how Egypt thought they were in a position to really

494
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:42,440
Speaker 4: dominate Israel and they got wiped out in a matter

495
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 4: of minutes. So spin out what could go wrong? Like

496
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 4: what what? What is a possible This doesn't work out

497
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 4: the way we thought it would?

498
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 1: What could what could happen?

499
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,440
Speaker 14: I think in most cases, those kind of conflicts are

500
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:59,199
Speaker 14: more on the ground. Look what Russia tried to do

501
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:01,399
Speaker 14: with Ukraine. It was going to be over in three days.

502
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 14: So you have a much deeper component with regard to

503
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:08,399
Speaker 14: what the battle is going on in this situation here,

504
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:11,160
Speaker 14: you know, the Israelis could lose some planes, We could

505
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 14: lose some planes, but the mission would be, you know,

506
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,920
Speaker 14: from a military perspective, is to destroy or set back

507
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 14: the Uranian nuclear capability. And it's it's accomplishable. And I

508
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:24,359
Speaker 14: think that's why it's on the table. It's there's no

509
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 14: there's for Iran and Israel to go to war. There's

510
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 14: countries in between this Syrias in between. There's not going

511
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:32,440
Speaker 14: to be a ground war that's that will take place there.

512
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 14: What you'll see then is gray zone or you'll see

513
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 14: asymmetric warfare perhaps, but now Iran's capability to do that

514
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:42,359
Speaker 14: has been destroyed. Hamas Is destroyed, has Billah destroyed. You

515
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 14: see the Huthis as we're you know, banging on them

516
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:47,920
Speaker 14: down you know, down at Yemen. So so they're they're

517
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,400
Speaker 14: they're out of the picture. So Iran's and its weakest

518
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:53,200
Speaker 14: point as it is right now. So they're going to

519
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:56,359
Speaker 14: have to make an existential decision because what it also

520
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 14: implies is regime change. When we have this kind of

521
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 14: launch and we un this kind of attack into Iran,

522
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:05,400
Speaker 14: it really does mean regime change. That's where things go wrong.

523
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:07,200
Speaker 14: But the difference is we're not going to put people

524
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 14: on the ground.

525
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 1: Wow.

526
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:12,399
Speaker 4: So you think that would just be a natural goes

527
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 4: along with this major attack, is that there would have

528
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:16,639
Speaker 4: to be regime change or it would happen.

529
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 14: I think that would be the undercurrent to it. I

530
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:21,639
Speaker 14: think similar to what happened in and go back to

531
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 14: Desert Storm. After destroying most of the Iraqi military, we

532
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 14: thought that there would be regime change in there, but

533
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:32,720
Speaker 14: Asnama saying, ended up, you know, putting down any of

534
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 14: those rebellions that took place. Perhaps the Israel and the

535
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:38,960
Speaker 14: United States could get together, put people inside of Iran

536
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:40,639
Speaker 14: and try to do the same thing there. But I

537
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:43,440
Speaker 14: think regime change would be the real risk that would

538
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 14: take place inside of Iran.

539
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 9: That would happen, and that could be good, that could

540
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:47,960
Speaker 9: be bad. We think it's good.

541
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 14: Look, Iran is person that's a highly intellectual country run

542
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:56,920
Speaker 14: by you know, very bad people. For the past forty years,

543
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:59,200
Speaker 14: we've talked about this is the number one foreign policies

544
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 14: failure in my life time in a post World War

545
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:01,880
Speaker 14: two era.

546
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:02,959
Speaker 9: There's no other way to put it.

547
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 14: If everything today is always because of the Iranian influence

548
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 14: and trying to be the hedgemonic power in the Middle East,

549
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:12,919
Speaker 14: and their attacks on Israel and the like, and the

550
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 14: fact that they're the number one state sponsor of terrorism.

551
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:17,639
Speaker 4: I want to move on that from that before I

552
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 4: let you go. I've been following Senator Tom Cotton's got

553
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 4: a book out called Seven Things You Can't Say About China,

554
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,200
Speaker 4: and I've been listening to his podcasts as he talks

555
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 4: about that, and he's really concerned as everybody is, about

556
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:32,679
Speaker 4: China making their move on Taiwan. So one of the

557
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 4: things he brought up the other day, and I wondered

558
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:38,960
Speaker 4: to what your perspective was. It is what happens when

559
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,120
Speaker 4: the day comes when China is having one of those

560
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:45,640
Speaker 4: military exercises like they had recently where they basically surround Taiwan.

561
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 4: They've got all the ships in place, they got all

562
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 4: these people, they got planes flying overhead, and they all

563
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:54,160
Speaker 4: of a sudden announce or don't announce that this is real,

564
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 4: this is not an exercise.

565
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 1: You're ours now. Could we do anything about that?

566
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 14: Yeah, to what the Egyptians and the Arab countries did

567
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:04,800
Speaker 14: to Israel back on the sixties and the seventies, they

568
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:08,399
Speaker 14: kept moving troops towards the border and forcing Israel to

569
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:13,120
Speaker 14: respond and have to alert their forces, and then finally

570
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:14,879
Speaker 14: they ended up coming. So I think that's how it

571
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:17,000
Speaker 14: will go when it goes down. I don't think there's

572
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 14: anything we can do about it. Are deterrens right now?

573
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 14: Are also we're at a trade war with China that's

574
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:23,440
Speaker 14: on the non military side.

575
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 9: That's clear that what's.

576
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:26,960
Speaker 14: Taking place there so and China has always had time

577
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 14: in their side, and I think maybe that's their calculation

578
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:33,680
Speaker 14: now as they fight with President Trump over these tariffs.

579
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:35,919
Speaker 14: You have economists saying we should just go to four

580
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 14: hundred percent. The bottom line is we're going to have

581
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 14: a trade war with China. In for a penny, in

582
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 14: for a pounds, same thing on the military, we might

583
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 14: as well try to what will eventually again become razine

584
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 14: change there because time is always on their side for

585
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 14: a leader for life that it takes place.

586
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 9: So if they decide to do that here, I think

587
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:52,680
Speaker 9: that's a very real scenario.

588
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 14: But it would mean it would mean US forces attacking

589
00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 14: inside of China, and then that could potentially meet my

590
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 14: Chinese forces attacking you know, California.

591
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 9: So yeah, it could be. It could get very bad,

592
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 9: very quickly. So I don't believe.

593
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 14: I don't believe the United States would do anything at

594
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 14: that point in time because of that risk. I think

595
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 14: that they could possibly try to help the defense of it,

596
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 14: but firing missiles into China would be a bridge too

597
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 14: far that would start the Third World War in the Pacific.

598
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 4: Wow, you are among many people that I've heard that

599
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 4: you know, I would describe as you know, certainly not pacifists.

600
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 4: Afraid to use Bower who said, if China moves on Taiwan,

601
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 4: We're probably just going to have to say, okay, yeah.

602
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 14: Yeah, I don't see us again sacrificing a West coast

603
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 14: city for it, because that's really what it will mean

604
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 14: as they the the terrence that the President has brought

605
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:52,240
Speaker 14: to the world now is clearly there. I think that

606
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:56,320
Speaker 14: it's caused countries to think twice. But if they miscalculate

607
00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:58,719
Speaker 14: whether or not we can actually do something about it.

608
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 14: You look at the military, they're probably seems to be

609
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 14: shipbuilding right now. We have to we have to redo

610
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 14: our navy, we have to do a lot more things,

611
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,680
Speaker 14: so we're probably five to ten years behind that we

612
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 14: could actually then do something and feel that we could

613
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 14: protect both the naval forces that we have in the

614
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 14: Pacific plus our western flank, which is again the state

615
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 14: of California in our West coast cities. And I think

616
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:20,480
Speaker 14: I don't think that we're there then, and I think

617
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 14: that's what's being brief to the President, which is why

618
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:25,840
Speaker 14: if they decide to do it, it's you know, it's

619
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:28,480
Speaker 14: just another indicator of how China actually it really is

620
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:29,720
Speaker 14: what they're country's about.

621
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:32,720

00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 5: I kind of have always known that I have a

652
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 5: very tall mouse.

653
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 6: As a little kid, I had seven siblings, and as

654
00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 6: kids do, we used to put stuff in our mouths

655
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 6: all the time.

656
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 8: And it always confused me when people are like, oh.

657
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 1: Light bulbs are you know, don't open them in your mouth.

658
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:07,160
Speaker 8: They get stuck. But they never got stuck in my mouth.

659
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 4: People look at.

660
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:10,800
Speaker 1: That and they think that's something that really exists.

661
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 8: I wonder if I.

662
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 4: Can do that. That is a woman who set the

663
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:19,680
Speaker 4: Guinness record for having the largest mouth gap. She said,

664
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 4: I over had a really tall mouth. I've never heard

665
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 4: that term before, but I guess if you can open

666
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 4: your mouth lengthwise a long way, they call that a

667
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 4: tall mouth.

668
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 1: Okay, fine, right, three inches is the record. Thank you

669
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 1: for that, Mike.

670
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:35,680
Speaker 8: Wow, you can put a lot of stuff from there.

671
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 1: That is fantastic.

672
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 13: Every time we play a clip, I of course, go

673
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 13: to the Internet, which I need to stop doing, and

674
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 13: I googled her and.

675
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 8: I'm looking at a picture of her with five Jenga

676
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:47,640
Speaker 8: pieces staffed in her mouth.

677
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:51,720
Speaker 1: See five Jenga pieces.

678
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:53,960
Speaker 8: Five Jenga pieces.

679
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:55,480
Speaker 4: Worth mentioning that I've still never lost a jinga in

680
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:57,840
Speaker 4: my entire life. I never lost one game of jinga.

681
00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 4: It might be the world's best Jinga player. A couple

682
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:03,960
Speaker 4: of unimportant things to get to.

683
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 13: Oh, here's the one with her with the can of

684
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:14,080
Speaker 13: corn in her mouthing this tab forever.

685
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 1: What do you what?

686
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 4: So, Gladys, I've told this story before, Gladys, but this

687
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 4: is this is something. When I was a kid, I

688
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 4: was obsessed with getting into the Guinness Book of World Records.

689
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 1: I mean just obsessed. Okay, this is the only thing

690
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 1: I cared about.

691
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 4: The Guinness Book of World Records used to be a

692
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:36,959
Speaker 4: bigger deal than it is now, Like a lot of books.

693
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:39,880
Speaker 4: Now everything's online, all the everything, all the time, everywhere,

694
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:41,040
Speaker 4: all the time, like that movie.

695
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 13: Every year, I was so excited to get the new

696
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:44,720
Speaker 13: Guinness war.

697
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 4: Okay, so even at your age, yeah, because when the

698
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:48,720
Speaker 4: new one came out, Man, we'd sit on the school

699
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:51,320
Speaker 4: bus and look through that, and it was just loved

700
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 4: that thing and I wanted to get in it.

701
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 1: So I tried all kinds of different.

702
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:59,479
Speaker 4: Things, snatching coins off my elbow, like you put them

703
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 4: on your elbow, you could turn your hand and catch

704
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 4: him before they hit the ground.

705
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 1: I worked on that. I don't know how many hours.

706
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:06,440
Speaker 4: If I hadn't put that many hours into playing the piano,

707
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:08,640
Speaker 4: i'd be at Carnegie Hall. But no, I was trying

708
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:12,400
Speaker 4: to snatch quarters off my elbow. Or one time was

709
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:16,880
Speaker 4: wearing roller skates NonStop. I forget what the world record was,

710
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 4: but I was going to try to do that. I'm

711
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:21,040
Speaker 4: sure that was a lot of fun in the house

712
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:23,799
Speaker 4: for your parents. It ended the first night. I made

713
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:25,719
Speaker 4: it all day long, but trying to sleep in bed

714
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:28,280
Speaker 4: with roller skates on, like I can't do this.

715
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:33,600
Speaker 9: Well.

716
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:34,800
Speaker 1: Part of it was my mom.

717
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:36,800
Speaker 4: Was worried about me tearing up the sheets with the

718
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:38,759
Speaker 4: roller skates on, so I had to have my feet

719
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:39,719
Speaker 4: hanging off the bed.

720
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:44,239
Speaker 1: So she's the reason I'm not in the book. She

721
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 1: wasn't as.

722
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:48,239
Speaker 4: Committed as me to a Guinness World World record. She

723
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 4: wouldn't let me put my roller skates on the mattress.

724
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:53,520
Speaker 1: I want to lose mom, come on.

725
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:57,479
Speaker 4: Then I was gonna there was some record about living

726
00:34:57,480 --> 00:35:00,200
Speaker 4: in a cardboard box, which now it's like, you know,

727
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:04,279
Speaker 4: everybody in certain streets in la or Portland could be

728
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:06,600
Speaker 4: sitting in the records, but was living in a cardboard box.

729
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:09,640
Speaker 4: So I did this probably like a day in the night.

730
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:11,520
Speaker 4: And they had a slit in a cardboard box. And

731
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:13,799
Speaker 4: I remember my mom sliding through a plate of like

732
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:15,839
Speaker 4: eggs and French toast to me in the.

733
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:21,160
Speaker 1: More like you're in prison. I can't believe she went

734
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 1: her along with this stuff.

735
00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:25,040
Speaker 13: So well, well this might be a dumb question. Was

736
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:26,400
Speaker 13: it the cardboard box in the house?

737
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:26,719
Speaker 4: Yeah?

738
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:28,879
Speaker 1: I was down in the basement. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah.

739
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:29,920
Speaker 1: I did a number of them.

740
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:33,319
Speaker 4: It was just I wanted to be like my son

741
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:34,920
Speaker 4: said the other day when we were driving home in

742
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:37,040
Speaker 4: the cyber truck, he said, you like people looking at you,

743
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:39,279
Speaker 4: don't you? And apparently I do have something in that

744
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:41,040
Speaker 4: because I wanted to be in the Guinness World Book

745
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:42,280
Speaker 4: of Records, and then I end up doing.

746
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 9: This for a career.

747
00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:44,600
Speaker 13: But there has to be a record you can break

748
00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:45,839
Speaker 13: that we can get you in there.

749
00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:48,760
Speaker 8: There has to be I say you do this roller

750
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:51,960
Speaker 8: skates one again. Yeah your sheets now, no way.

751
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:55,760
Speaker 1: These are my sheets. Dammit.

752
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:57,719
Speaker 4: If I tear them up with the roller skates, that's

753
00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:04,239
Speaker 4: my problem. Need therapy all around that whole thing. That's

754
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:08,320
