00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:15,200
Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:19,960
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong and Joe, Katty Armstrong and

00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:36,839
Speaker 1: Jettie and he arms range from studio ce see ay

00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 1: dimly lit, room deep put in the bowels of the

5
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:43,159
Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getting communications Compound on Little Friday, and today

6
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 1: we are toiling under the title The Art of No

7
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:51,159
Speaker 1: Deal or from the Penthouse to the Big House. The

8
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 1: Prince Andrew story. Uh Andrew the artist formerly known as

9
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 1: Prince who is now Andrew windsor mount Batten or is

10
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 1: it mount Batten whatever? What kind of name is that?

11
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 1: Jolly well? Right, we got arrested and is in custody somewhere.

12
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 1: They don't know where, nor nobody's to London obviously, yeah,

13
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 1: off with his head, I say, yeah, let's not wait around.

14
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 1: And the straw that broke the camel's back apparently is

15
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 1: trading state secrets with billionaire Jeffrey Ebstein. So not only

16
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 1: was he secting up underage women, denying having ever met

17
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:37,399
Speaker 1: people that then you see him within pictures he was

18
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 1: given state secrets to Epstein and that was too much

19
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 1: for his brother. What was that straw that broke the camels. Gotcha,

20
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 1: that was a camel. Oh the camel groaning in pain. Yeah,

21
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: that was too much for his brother, King Chuck the

22
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 1: third apparently. Yeah. Plus that that's high ranking aid that

23
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: the big wheel in British Paul Politics, who had to

24
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 1: quit not long ago, as tied closely to Keir Starmer.

25
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 1: He was involved in similar stuff a huge significance insider

26
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: trading in effect with their pal Jeffrey Epstein. Yeah, so

27
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: the actual government is going down. Everybody says that, right,

28
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,639
Speaker 1: the Prime Minister will fall here one of these days.

29
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 1: So it's see, although he had a week ago anyway,

30
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 1: a thirteen percent approval rating, and it's not just because

31
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 1: Epstein's stuff, which is kind of the way it's being

32
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 1: portrayed in the United States, but as listening to some

33
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 1: British journalists, the government. People hate that government for all

34
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 1: kinds of different reasons. They got economic problems that have

35
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: landed while he's in office and all that sort of

36
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 1: stuff that happens in the world. So the proval rating

37
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 1: was going to be incredibly low anyway, and then you

38
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 1: add this to it, thirteen percent. One more note on

39
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 1: British politics, if I might, I think it's a measure

40
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:53,519
Speaker 1: of how miserable everybody is there that the other party,

41
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 1: the Tories, the alleged Conservatives, who are about where the

42
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,360
Speaker 1: Democrats are in the United States. Honestly, they can't win

43
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 1: an election. I mean they got tossed out on their ears.

44
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 1: They suck so bad in favor of Keir Starmer and

45
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,959
Speaker 1: his gang. Good gracious, here's the most exciting thing to me,

46
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 1: as I think the Royal family is stupid and always

47
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: have and it's why we went to war with them

48
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: over that whole idea, As listened to a British journalist

49
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 1: right now saying, the reason Charles moved is at this

50
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 1: point there we've got to protect the monarchy because the

51
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 1: monarchy could fall. People could turn against this. You know what,

52
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 1: this whole you get special privileges and we pay for

53
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: it thing. It's got to come to an end. They're

54
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 1: worried about that. It's still a minority of people that

55
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 1: want to get it rid of the constitutional monarchy set

56
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 1: up they've got. But apparently, according to this one Bridget journalist,

57
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 1: inside Buckingham Palace or wherever they're deciding this sort of stuff,

58
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: and they have many many different places. Depends on whether

59
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 1: you're going on a fox hunt, or if you're having

60
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 1: royal you know, duties with the Prime Minister or whatever.

61
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: Don't do a fox hunt from a Buckingham palace. You're

62
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: not gonna find a single fox. Too much traffic. They're

63
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: really concerned with public opinion turning it against the monarchy

64
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 1: as a whole. So well, they're afraid the boot of history.

65
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:22,719
Speaker 1: I'll get them right in the family jewels. That gotta

66
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 1: laugh out at Katie. How are you this morning, kid?

67
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 1: I'm just a lifeful I'm jolly good. Yeah, we should,

68
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:33,599
Speaker 1: we should do the British accents and support of something.

69
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 1: I don't know whether it would be. I don't like

70
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: the royal family. I think the whole thing is dumb.

71
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm more sympathetic than I used to be,

72
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:43,599
Speaker 1: having asked a bunch of Brits about it. But it's

73
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 1: definitely a weirdly mutated monster. Yeah. I don't, I don't,

74
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 1: I can't. I can't have any respect for it whatsoever.

75
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,720
Speaker 1: I've heard British people explain why it matters to them

76
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 1: historically and everything like that, but yeah, they're paying attention

77
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: to their lives though that Come on, don't you have

78
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: more to do with this small amount of time you

79
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 1: get on planet Earth than pay attention to royals in

80
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 1: their weddings and their offspring and the first pictures of

81
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 1: their babies and that sort of crap. Give me a break. Yeah,

82
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,160
Speaker 1: I know it's it's ridiculous. I just think I think

83
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: it's unhealthy free humanity. No, well, of course it is. Yes, yeah,

84
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 1: absolutely anyway, So Prince Andrew actually in Irons in the

85
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: Tower of London, as Joe said, and likely to be beheaded.

86
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 1: The headsman's got his black hood on, He's got his

87
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: big old double sided axe ready. He's just kind of

88
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: putting a little rosin on his palms. He's getting ready.

89
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:40,159
Speaker 1: So Axios, the Wall Street Journal, New York Times and

90
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: others reporting that, and sources are saying to these organizations

91
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: that it's ninety percent likely we strike Iran. Now, it's

92
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 1: quite possible that's being leaked by the administration to these

93
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:57,920
Speaker 1: news organizations to let Iran know we're serious, we ain't playing.

94
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, also might be true, which brings us back

95
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 1: to my other title for the show, The Art of

96
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 1: No Deal. There is not a deal taking shape with Iran,

97
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:10,720
Speaker 1: and indeed, what you do when it's your best alternative

98
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 1: to a negotiated settlement. It's a long acronym, but what

99
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 1: do you do when there is no deal? Meanwhile, the

100
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: talks with Hamas are a joke. They're refusing to disarm,

101
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 1: so that piece is soon to end. Ukraine and Russia

102
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:29,279
Speaker 1: don't get me started, at least with a Hamas thing. Though.

103
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 1: If Iran falls, that's yet another blow to that organization

104
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 1: having any half to whatsoever. Certainly, at least Axios's reporting

105
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 1: is according to officials who are probably leaking this on purpose,

106
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: such as the nature of war, this will be a

107
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 1: week's long, sustained campaign, nothing like the strikes that we

108
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: saw over the summer. This is going to look more

109
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:58,479
Speaker 1: like an actual war, not like the fabulously named Midnight Hammer.

110
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 1: Weeks long sustained campaign. I wonder, and since most of

111
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 1: America I don't think, is paying any attention to this story,

112
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,159
Speaker 1: I wonder. I wonder how that will land politically. I

113
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 1: have no idea. I would be fascinated to see a

114
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 1: poll of Americans to figure out how many people understand

115
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 1: that we're at the brink of a significant armed conflict.

116
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 1: In conflict with Iran, the biggest way it is very small,

117
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 1: biggest warn a quarter century. What was you guess percentage?

118
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: Maybe twenty, I don't know, ten, ten to fifteen. I

119
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 1: don't know what's your perception, Katie, just out of curiosity,

120
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 1: probably to guess, I'd think you're just trying to curry

121
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 1: favorite with him. But if you watch, yeah, clearly twenty

122
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 1: five if like Katie, me, anybody, if you're following the

123
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 1: mainstream news, it's just not a story avalanches, missing women,

124
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 1: a dog getting loose on the track at the very cute,

125
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 1: very much watching.

126
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 2: I think it was ABC because I go through all

127
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:06,559
Speaker 2: of the evening news. They treated it like, oh, side note,

128
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 2: this is happening.

129
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, they really do. The dog running across the finish

130
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 1: line at the Olympics was the Iran war, and the

131
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 1: Iran War was the dog running across the finish line.

132
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 1: In terms of emphasis, yes, that is a society that

133
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 1: cannot last. I believe the legal ruling on whether a

134
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 1: wing is a nugget or not a buffalo wing is

135
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 1: a chicken nugget. That legal ruling, which we need to

136
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,839
Speaker 1: get to later, got more time than the possible war

137
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 1: with Iran. Wow, I'm only barely aware of this controversy, Well,

138
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 1: what are boneless wings? Is the question. If you're serving

139
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 1: boneless wings and somebody sued, what is your deal. You

140
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 1: can't call those wings, these are nuggets, and so there

141
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:54,200
Speaker 1: needed to be a legal ruling, and then it got

142
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 1: into what if you call something a vegetarian buffalo wings

143
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 1: made out of cauliflower or whatever. Clearly those are boneless

144
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 1: and not We're never at any point the wing of

145
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:11,680
Speaker 1: any animal as they are Fevidently, what then you say, exactly?

146
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 2: They said that they're not the wings of a cauliflower.

147
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 1: What the judge said, yes, correct. I am amused and

148
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 1: fascinated by this legal question, the fact that it is

149
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 1: a lawsuit. I want to find the plaintiff and beat

150
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:27,839
Speaker 1: him to death with a chicken wing, which would take

151
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 1: a while. I mean, even to our story which we

152
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 1: led with talking about Prince Andrew getting arrested is getting

153
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,679
Speaker 1: a hundred times more attention than the fact that we

154
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 1: are on the brink of a sustained war with a

155
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 1: major country. Well, you've got to admit, though, if a

156
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 1: second tier member of the British royal family were to

157
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 1: go to jail, that would change everything. Oh wait a minute, checking, no,

158
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 1: it would have no effect on anything at all. So,

159
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 1: getting back to your original question, how many people are

160
00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:59,680
Speaker 1: paying any attention to it? So when the bombs start falling,

161
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 1: I would suspect that the approval rating will be roughly

162
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 1: fifty to fifty, like everything with Trump. But a week

163
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 1: into it and maybe we've had a plane shot down

164
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:16,840
Speaker 1: and I don't know, fifteen soldiers die. What is the

165
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 1: public opinion going to be on having no background of

166
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,679
Speaker 1: why we're doing this whatsoever? Correct? Yes, we're an unserious

167
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 1: country where everybody votes and everybody gets their news from

168
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 1: tickety talk or you know, the stupid celebrity news that

169
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:37,439
Speaker 1: is the network news these days. Yeah, it's unsustainable. I'm

170
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 1: just glad we have lots of guns and planes. So

171
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 1: you we go back tortum monarchy is what you're saying. Uh, yes, well, no,

172
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:49,960
Speaker 1: the sweet spot. The founding fathers had the balance, right,

173
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 1: Come on, come on, don't say landed white males. That's

174
00:10:56,040 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 1: not what I mean. No, that is the public, not

175
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,560
Speaker 1: a democracy. It is a democratic republic. Let's not quibble.

176
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 1: But a pure democracy is an idiotic idea. You do

177
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 1: have to tip your cat to the royal family that

178
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 1: they've got a lot of levers to pull to try

179
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 1: to help out a family member and keep him out

180
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,599
Speaker 1: of trouble. In there, they're they're letting him twist in

181
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 1: the breeze. Oh no, King Chuck said, no, the justice

182
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 1: system should proceed. It's fine. Apparently behind the scenes Andrew

183
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,840
Speaker 1: Andrew rings a bell. Apparently behind the scenes, Prince William

184
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 1: is a real driving force in This guy's a scumbag

185
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 1: and has got to go. He bringing us down Uncle Purvo. Yeah,

186
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 1: all that Wills, who seems to be a pretty straight

187
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 1: laced guy, does not dig Uncle Purvo's lifestyle. What did

188
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:47,319
Speaker 1: they know behind this? All right, That's what I was

189
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 1: gonna say. I'm sure William and Charles, Charles, especially being

190
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 1: the older brother, has known for years. Right. Well, there

191
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: was that story that I think I mentioned yesterday where

192
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 1: Epstein and Andrew were bringing like multiple women of slatterly

193
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:09,839
Speaker 1: habits as they used to say way back in the

194
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 1: day to Buckingham Palace for like lunches and cavorts. And

195
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,319
Speaker 1: if Queen Liz got wind of that, I'm sure she

196
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,599
Speaker 1: was really unhappy. I wasn't there some story if you

197
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 1: had some bimbo sitting in the throne or something. Remember that,

198
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 1: Remember that that sounds vaguely familiar. Here, there's a photo

199
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 1: came out of some Harlot sitting on a throne. Harlot.

200
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 1: That's another good one. Yeah. Anyway, of course, some of

201
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 1: these people are not they're victims. They're just plain victims,

202
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 1: a lot of these people. Yeah, it's interesting. One more

203
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:46,199
Speaker 1: thought on this, then I'll shut up. The Epstein case continues,

204
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:48,560
Speaker 1: in spite of it being unsavorty that all of these

205
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 1: memos and stuff and emails have been put out to

206
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 1: yield really interesting stories about the upper crust and the

207
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:59,560
Speaker 1: way they behave. In this modeling recruiter from France, super famous,

208
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 1: like top of the industry, and how all the beautiful

209
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:05,320
Speaker 1: girls in the world wanted to be models and he

210
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:08,679
Speaker 1: would give them modeling contracts financed by Jeffrey Epstein. They

211
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 1: would fly all over the world, they would eat, they

212
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:12,200
Speaker 1: would drink, they would be merry, they would sit on

213
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 1: the throne at Buckingham Palace, and occasionally they had to

214
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 1: give up a little sex. And there's probably a fair

215
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:22,960
Speaker 1: number of people that are perfectly willing to make that trade. Well, right, yeah,

216
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 1: where hmm, what the hell? It'll be fun a little crazy,

301
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:24,800

302
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:26,920
Speaker 1: knows the line on that sort of stuff. Is it

303
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 1: against the law to make your product? Make a product

304
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:32,160

00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 1: on building a community that is sustainable. I'm not trying

308
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,400
Speaker 1: to maximize the amount of time they spend every month

309
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:52,160
Speaker 1: on it. Oh so he lied, that's just obviously not true. Testillying. Yes,

310
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:55,400
Speaker 1: why did he say that. I mean, he's got I assume,

311
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 1: some of the most expensive lawyers on the planet, and

312
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:01,439
Speaker 1: you decided to deny you're trying to make your product

313
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,399
Speaker 1: something we can't put down. Well, that's just false on

314
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:08,160
Speaker 1: its face. He's a very smart guy. On the other hand,

315
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 1: speaking of royalty, he has kingly powers that most kings

316
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 1: would envy, status and wealth and probably a lot of

317
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 1: self regard. And you know, I don't blame him. I'm

318
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:25,639
Speaker 1: surprised because I thought so he thought he could. Just

319
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 1: he's so used to people saying yes, mister Zuckerberg, yes sir,

320
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:32,640
Speaker 1: that he's lost his filter for what's clearly bull less

321
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 1: and what's not. Because I thought I could. I was

322
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,159
Speaker 1: helping you along, Mark by saying, you can't make it

323
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 1: against the law to make a product so good people

324
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 1: can't stop using it. That's what I was trying to

325
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 1: because I think that's true what I just said. Sure,

326
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 1: but you can't claim that you weren't trying to make

327
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 1: a product we can't stop using. That's hilarious. Yeah, Yeah, Anyway,

328
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 1: we'll get a report on that testimony coming up an

329
00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 1: hour or two. Let's belied by like a thousand different

330
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,680
Speaker 1: internal documents and emails and that sort of thing. Just amazing, Okay,

331
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:07,920
Speaker 1: looking forward to that. Here's the story we should talk about,

332
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 1: and the one I want to talk about, the one

333
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 1: we should talk about. US gathers the most air power

334
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 1: in the Mid East since the two thousand and three

335
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 1: Iraq invasion. I would argue, I don't know this, but

336
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 1: I'll bet it's true that because of technological advances, it's

337
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 1: the strongest force that's ever been gathered anywhere on the planet,

338
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:30,200
Speaker 1: and I'm serious in saying this. It probably includes the

339
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:35,920
Speaker 1: discombobulator ray. Oh yeah, that was used to like shocking, astonishing.

340
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:40,160
Speaker 1: Nobody's talking about it, science fiction y effect in snatching

341
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 1: up Maduro. So yeah, I would agree with you. Technological advances. Yeah,

342
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 1: you're probably right, well said the subhead is. US is

343
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 1: ready to strike around, but President Trump hasn't yet decided

344
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 1: to do so. First of all, some of the facts

345
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:57,360
Speaker 1: and then a little analysis. Over the past few days,

346
00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 1: the US has continued to move Cutting Edge thirty five

347
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 1: and twenty two jet fighters toward the Middle East. Second

348
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 1: aircraft carrier loaded with attack and electronic warfare planes is

349
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:10,879
Speaker 1: on the way. Command and control aircraft vital for orchestrating

350
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:14,159
Speaker 1: large air campaigns are inbound, and critical air defenses have

351
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 1: been deployed to the region in recent weeks to our

352
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:20,880
Speaker 1: bases and other places. The firepower will give the US

353
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 1: the option of carrying out a sustained, weeks long air

354
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:26,160
Speaker 1: war against Dran instead of the one and done midnight

355
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:30,439
Speaker 1: hammer strike we were discussing earlier, and the talks are

356
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 1: going on. I suspect very strongly that Iran's thinking, yeah,

357
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 1: let's string out these talks because it always works, always works,

358
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:42,440
Speaker 1: and Trump is thinking, yeah, we're still working on Saudi's

359
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 1: in the UAE and using their airspace because that has

360
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:47,119
Speaker 1: saves a lot of fuel, and let's get our air

361
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 1: defenses up and run. And then in about a week Kerbluwie, Yeah,

362
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 1: and Mark Alprin's newsletter today he wrote, this is going

363
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:59,879
Speaker 1: to be a big play for history, justice and one

364
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 1: for all, once and for all dealing with Tran's theocracy.

365
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:07,440
Speaker 1: This will be for history. Yeah. Yeah, I am seeing

366
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 1: just as kind of an aside, more and more folks

367
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 1: joining us in saying out loud, you know, a lot

368
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 1: of this is the Western world, the enlightened world against Islamism.

369
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 1: For a while, it was kind of taboo, it was

370
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:28,239
Speaker 1: out of fashion even say that. It's it's always been

371
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:30,879
Speaker 1: clear to me. I don't I don't know. It's it's

372
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:32,879
Speaker 1: my great gift that I couldn't give a crap what

373
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:36,639
Speaker 1: people think. It's funny, it's gonna accuse me of being

374
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 1: an islamophobe, whatever that is. I'm not. It's funny that

375
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 1: we have enough distance after nine to eleven that this

376
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 1: story is not being run through that lens. Really, but

377
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:51,680
Speaker 1: it is. It's a theocracy. It's fundamental Muslim theocracy. Right,

378
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 1: That's not the only challenge, and that's not the only

379
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 1: kind of totalitarian you know, evil that we've got a

380
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 1: face in the world. But it's a big one, yeah,

381
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:01,200
Speaker 1: and it exists all around the world. You know. They're

382
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 1: terrorist attacks in the name of ISIS or al Qaeda

383
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:08,920
Speaker 1: or various offshoot groups all over the place in Africa

384
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 1: and France and wherever as we know. So yeah, one

385
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 1: more note about the armaments the administration is assembling. Not

386
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 1: all of the weapons the US could use to strike

387
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 1: Iran are currently in the Middle East, nor even need

388
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:24,880
Speaker 1: to be. This is worth remembering. The two stealth bombers

389
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 1: have long trained to carry out Middle East missions directly

390
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 1: from the US, as they did in June against the

391
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:35,719
Speaker 1: fordoh plant there, or from joint US UK based Diego

392
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 1: Garcia in the Indian Ocean. Other long range US bombers

393
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 1: can do the same, and in fact, trumpa wrote in

394
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 1: a social media post Wednesday, which is a curious way

395
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 1: to communicate, but that's what he does, that quote, it

396
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 1: may be necessary for the US to use Diego Garcia.

397
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 1: So on a completely different topic, I can't believe we

398
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:56,200
Speaker 1: haven't talked about this yet. Oh coming up, science explains

399
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:59,879
Speaker 1: the quad god's choke. I want to hear about that.

400
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:04,120
Speaker 1: I'm I'm as a guy who choked always in every

401
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 1: athletic endeavor. I'm fascinated by that that it reached a

402
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:13,359
Speaker 1: guy at that level, well right, a guy who had

403
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 1: every bit of the confidence you lacked. He's still freaked out. Yeah,

404
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:23,399
Speaker 1: it has to do with apes, apes apes. It's a factor,

405
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:26,680
Speaker 1: end of the science anyway, nervous apes who are terrible

406
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:30,160
Speaker 1: figure skaters. That's the experience. I'm giving it away. But yeah,

407
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 1: he can't land a single quad an experiment. They strapped

408
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 1: skates on apes. They showed him a bunch of videos

409
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,440
Speaker 1: and oh it went so poorly. They put him in

410
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 1: the sequence and write nothing. They just sat there right,

411
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 1: complete waste of time. So here's here's the one that

412
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:52,200
Speaker 1: I kind of sort of cringingly want to talk about.

413
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:58,880
Speaker 1: Have you heard about Congressman Tony Gonzales, a Republican of Texas,

414
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 1: part of the report Splicans incredibly slim majority in the House.

415
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:09,919
Speaker 1: He had an affair with his super hot young mom,

416
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:17,640
Speaker 1: aid married mom, broke up with her and he's married. Yes,

417
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 1: they're both married. Okay, I'm ninety percent here. I think

418
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:25,399
Speaker 1: he's married. It's bad either way, but yeah, right, I

419
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 1: can't swear he is married. But anyway, and she went

420
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:33,879
Speaker 1: from keyaid rising star to yeah, why don't you empty

421
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:37,159
Speaker 1: the trash cans and do the toilets? At work and

422
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 1: at home? Her husband and father of her beautiful young

423
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:44,919
Speaker 1: child found out of all about all this that sucks.

424
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 1: Family fell apart, as you might expect, and she poured

425
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:53,399
Speaker 1: gasoline all over herself and set herself on fire in

426
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 1: the backyard of her home in Uvalde, Texas, of all places.

427
00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:00,399
Speaker 1: I saw the story, but I didn't know that this

428
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 1: was the background on it. Woweah, Why did she go

429
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:10,640
Speaker 1: self immolation on this as a show of pain, anger,

430
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 1: self hatred? I don't know. Possibly kind of crazy, Yeah, yeah, yeah,

431
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:28,200
Speaker 1: that's rough. The explaining that to the kids, Oh my lord,

432
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:32,119
Speaker 1: can you imagine? So anyway, the headline I think in

433
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:37,200
Speaker 1: the Wall Street Journal is quite appropriately Texas Republican Gonzales

434
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:41,680
Speaker 1: faces of fair allegations ahead of GOP primary and scrutiny

435
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:44,119
Speaker 1: for everything he's up to. He's done, isn't he? You

436
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:50,119
Speaker 1: can't have your your girlfriend who's married with a child,

437
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 1: set herself on fire because you broke up with her

438
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:55,399
Speaker 1: and say I'm here for the people of Texas. My

439
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:59,879
Speaker 1: opponent's last girlfriend set herself on fire. Is that one

440
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:05,920
Speaker 1: we want? It's too easy, no kidding. Top couple Republican

441
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 1: challenger called for him to drop out of the primary race. Yeah,

442
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 1: it might be a good idea. Jeez, Louise, your last

443
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:18,400
Speaker 1: girlfriend dropped out of the human race. Yeah, if you've

444
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:22,119
Speaker 1: ever even thought of uttering, you know, if we break up,

445
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 1: I'll do blank to myself. You really, you really have

446
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:31,359
Speaker 1: mental health problems. Oh my god, but this gal and

447
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 1: you know, they're both really good looking people and all

448
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:41,280
Speaker 1: I just yeah, the the high flying, super hot I

449
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 1: can get sex when I want it set, which is

450
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 1: not a set I belong to. Oddly enough, there there

451
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 1: are real hazards there, these two maroons. She's hot, I'm hot,

452
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 1: let's get together. She's got a little kid. I'm a

453
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:58,800
Speaker 1: congress and let's not worry about it. Yeah. Wealth and look,

454
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 1: so most people have those lines drawn for them by life,

455
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:09,920
Speaker 1: right of how many options you have out there, If

456
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:13,359
Speaker 1: you don't have those lines drawn for you, like a

457
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 1: small percentage of people through looks and wealth. You gotta

458
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:21,160
Speaker 1: have a lot more discipline. I guess yeah. The husband,

459
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. The lawyer who represents the husband said in

460
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:28,760
Speaker 1: an interview he wants to see Congressman Gonzalez quote stand

461
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:31,720
Speaker 1: before a microphone and say, I, Tony Gonzalez admit that

462
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:34,359
Speaker 1: my conduct with this young lady is the reason of

463
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 1: her demise. Oof, that's a lawyer talk. And you know,

464
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 1: Tony Gonzalez wasn't married to the husband she was. And

465
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 1: it's possible. We're not on in uve all Da, Texas

466
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 1: right now. We're on a lot of places. They might

467
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 1: be able to hear us anyway. They can get the

468
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 1: podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand. They probably follow us

469
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 1: wherever podcasters are distributed. It's possible. He finds out she

470
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:01,760
Speaker 1: sets herself on fire, and like, yeah, I'm not surprised,

471
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 1: I mean, was about right, Yeah, that she was kinda

472
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 1: kind of emotional and on the edge of saying possible,

473
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 1: I don't know. All listen, it's a tragedy. There's a

474
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:16,760
Speaker 1: lot of suffering here, and I don't want to make

475
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:19,480
Speaker 1: light of it, but yeah, it's entirely possible. They started to,

476
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:21,760
Speaker 1: you know, getting it on as it were, and he realized,

477
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 1: holy cow, she is completely nuts and thought, I got

478
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 1: to get out of this somehow. Oof oof is right, man,

479
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 1: that'd be a tough one to carry around. Fidelity folks

480
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 1: makes life so much easier. Who has its rewards too? Oo?

481
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 1: Wow that phone call, nipes? Yeah, bad news about your

482
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 1: ex girlfriend. Hey, we've got mailbag coming up. Everybody on

483
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 1: a cheer ear no uh yeah? And then more news today,

484
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 1: and we are going to talk to a reporter about

485
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 1: the social media trial, which I think is super interesting.

486
00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 1: And there's all kinds of tentacles from the results of

487
00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 1: that trial about social media and then the Internet and

488
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 1: all kinds of different things. Possibly, So stick around. Our

489
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 1: figure skaters men and women suck. Oh, but our hockey

490
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 1: skaters men and women might win the gold medal. So

491
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 1: can any of our hockey skaters do quads? Could we

492
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 1: have it like our goalie go out there and win

493
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 1: the figure skating or something, because our hockey skaters are good,

494
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 1: really good, like best in the world. Yeah yeah, I

495
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:32,040
Speaker 1: don't know. We're better at beating people up than twirling

496
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:35,720
Speaker 1: around in sparkles. That's the frontier spirit, I believe. Here's

497
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:39,800
Speaker 1: your freedom loving quota today. It's actually, actually it is

498
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 1: a freedom loving quota today, come to think of it.

499
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 1: From the great Ludwig von Nises and his classic Human Action,

500
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 1: A Treatise on economics, socialism is an alternative to capitalism,

501
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 1: as potassium cyanide is an alternative to water. Ah, I

502
00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 1: would agree completely. A male man drops no mail bag

503
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 1: and armstrong and yetty dot com. Socialism will come up

504
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 1: in a moment or two. But first this. It's a

505
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:12,080
Speaker 1: story about a school board in kel Unicornia voting almost

506
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 1: unanimously to keep letting boys beat the crap out of

507
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:18,720
Speaker 1: girls on the playing field in support of transgender rights.

508
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 1: Which we'll get to it. It's big, big city, too

509
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:26,960
Speaker 1: big town. But Darren writes hello jents. Joe often says

510
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 1: that we are at the beginning of the end of

511
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:35,040
Speaker 1: the madness. No, Darren, no, no, no. I have no

512
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 1: skills but wordsmith three. I cannot build a decent table.

513
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:43,080
Speaker 1: I suck it golf, but I string words together pretty

514
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 1: so get it right. What I said is we are

515
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 1: not at the beginning of the end. We're at the

516
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:52,360
Speaker 1: end of the beginning. Oh but thanks for sending along

517
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 1: the headline. I can't even believe it. On the topic

518
00:31:57,520 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 1: of why Redhead's disproportionate convert to Islam. According to one

519
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:05,000
Speaker 1: of our other listeners, Yeah, not sure that's statistically true.

520
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 1: Joshawn writes, I know what's going on with the redheaded Muslims.

521
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 1: They're just looking for a soul and a reference to

522
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 1: the nineties South Park narrative or twenty ten have no soul,

523
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 1: gingers have no soul. I didn't realize south Park started

524
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 1: the Wow wow jeshan wow. Moving along to Michael's three

525
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:32,760
Speaker 1: sounds in nature that you should pay he do. They

526
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 1: are dangerous? Man? Can you play the yes? If you

527
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:38,840
Speaker 1: didn't catch that segment yesterday, that was an epic, epic,

528
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 1: armstrong and giddy segment. It was, indeed, Yeah, can you

529
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:47,720
Speaker 1: play just the first one? Michael? That of course clearly

530
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 1: as it turns out a branch breaking well. Monty from

531
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 1: Montana rights guys. I've been a tree area firefighter, sometimes

532
00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:00,080
Speaker 1: known as a wild Lend firefighter for many years. I

533
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 1: actually had a visceral reaction to hearing the crackling falling

534
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 1: tree sound today in the Dangerous Outdoor Sound segment five Weekend.

535
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:10,720
Speaker 1: Dead trees called snags are constant. I'm sorry, fire weakened

536
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:14,320
Speaker 1: and dead trees called snags are constant threat in our office,

537
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 1: and almost every one of us has had multiple close calls.

538
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 1: That free tree falling crackling sound from your soundtrack is

539
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:23,960
Speaker 1: familiar to all wildline firefighters and makes most of us shudder. Look,

540
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 1: who's laughing now? Michael may have saved lives. That was

541
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 1: the point with that, right radio theater of the mind anyway,

542
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:33,480
Speaker 1: Give a shout out to the Tree area firefighters for

543
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:35,959
Speaker 1: the difficult and dangerous job they do. Thanks for doing

544
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:38,440
Speaker 1: what you do. He looks forward to every show. Thanks Moni,

545
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:40,040
Speaker 1: and thanks for the note. That would all makes sense

546
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 1: to you if you go back and listen to that

547
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 1: segment Armstrong and getting on demand the podcast yesterday's show,

548
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 1: Adam writes the dangerous sounds brought to attention by Michael

549
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 1: or no laughing matter. I was in a tree area once.

550
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:55,960
Speaker 1: Michael couldn't come up with a word for a forest.

551
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 1: He's a tree, Yeah, forest anyway, and witnessed an elderly

552
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 1: man get hammered into the ground like a nail when

553
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:05,280
Speaker 1: a giant branch snapped off during augusta wind. Oh my god,

554
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:07,120
Speaker 1: and it was dir It was at the end of

555
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:11,400
Speaker 1: a fishing derby. It was horrible, he says, obviously, but

556
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 1: the show must Why does that make it worse? Why

557
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:16,840
Speaker 1: does the fishing derby make it worse? Well, everybody was

558
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:19,160
Speaker 1: gathered to have a good time and compete and pull

559
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:20,680
Speaker 1: fish out of there, so that I've had been gathered

560
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:22,319
Speaker 1: for a funeral a bad time. It would have been

561
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 1: better to get driven into the ground like a nail.

562
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:26,240
Speaker 1: I see your point, but there's more to the story.

563
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:28,840
Speaker 1: It was horrible, obviously, but the show must go on,

564
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:30,839
Speaker 1: or the raffle in that case, And it was really

565
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:33,279
Speaker 1: awkward because they kept calling ticket numbers that would go

566
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:35,600
Speaker 1: and claimed, and everybody was muttering about whether or not

567
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:38,920
Speaker 1: they checked the old guy's pockets. Oh my godd anyway,

568
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:41,040
Speaker 1: be safe out there, y'all, and thanks for bringing our

569
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:43,400
Speaker 1: attention to the thing Old Jim gets driven into the

Speaker 1: ground like a railroad spike. Well with the raffle must
