WEBVTT - You Need Tough Teeth 0:00:01.840 --> 0:00:06.120 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:06.200 --> 0:00:10.240 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. 0:00:10.160 --> 0:00:17.240 Arm Strong and Jackie and now he Armstrong and Getty. 0:00:23.640 --> 0:00:27.600 I am saying this because I'm really afraid that my 0:00:27.640 --> 0:00:30.680 country's going to be further weakened by this. I think 0:00:30.720 --> 0:00:32.960 we're going to see the end of American empire. Obviously 0:00:33.479 --> 0:00:35.440 other nations would like to see that, and this is 0:00:35.479 --> 0:00:38.320 a perfect way to scuttle the USS America on the 0:00:38.320 --> 0:00:41.600 shoals of Iran, but it's also going to end, I believe, 0:00:41.720 --> 0:00:43.960 Trump's presidency and effectively end it. 0:00:45.040 --> 0:00:48.240 Trump responded to Tucker Carlson, call him kooky, and nobody 0:00:48.600 --> 0:00:50.360 knows what he said, get a TV show. I think 0:00:50.400 --> 0:00:53.760 he said Tucker has got way bigger following than if 0:00:53.760 --> 0:00:56.279 he had a TV show. Actually, so if he had 0:00:56.280 --> 0:00:58.160 a TV show, it would be very popular and he 0:00:58.200 --> 0:01:01.120 would have his following online, so he would be bigger maybe, 0:01:01.240 --> 0:01:04.360 But he's better. He's bigger than any of the current 0:01:04.400 --> 0:01:05.440 TV shows out there. 0:01:06.080 --> 0:01:08.080 He just is. It's just statistically true. 0:01:08.840 --> 0:01:11.080 So this segment, we're going to really get into the 0:01:11.120 --> 0:01:14.640 whole various shades of MAGA and that whole thing, And 0:01:15.520 --> 0:01:19.560 is Trump betraying America first by wanting to go to 0:01:19.640 --> 0:01:22.280 war with Iran, which he seems to be hell bent on, 0:01:22.319 --> 0:01:24.559 And I'm I think he's right. And for instance, here's 0:01:24.600 --> 0:01:28.600 Tulcy Gabbard in a hearing a little while back saying 0:01:28.880 --> 0:01:30.120 Iran's not going to get a bomb. 0:01:30.400 --> 0:01:32.919 The ICY continues to assess that Iran is not building 0:01:32.920 --> 0:01:36.720 a nuclear weapon, and Supreme Leader Kamani has not authorized 0:01:36.720 --> 0:01:39.559 the nuclear weapons program that he suspended in two thousand 0:01:39.600 --> 0:01:43.680 and three. The ICY continues to monitor closely if Tehran 0:01:43.800 --> 0:01:46.920 decides to reauthorize its nuclear weapons program. 0:01:47.319 --> 0:01:53.640 So I see the international community, that intelligence community, intelligence community. Okay, yeah, 0:01:53.640 --> 0:01:55.680 I don't think that's right. But anyway, here Trump was 0:01:55.720 --> 0:02:01.200 asking about delusion. Yeah, here's Trump responding to his DNI, 0:02:01.440 --> 0:02:05.000 the Director of National Intelligence, she has access to everything, 0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:07.240 saying Iran's not about to get a bomb. 0:02:07.240 --> 0:02:09.720 Here's what Trump says about that. How close do you 0:02:09.800 --> 0:02:11.840 personally think that they were to get it on? 0:02:12.000 --> 0:02:17.000 Because Tulsa Gartt testified at March the intelligence community said 0:02:17.200 --> 0:02:19.240 Ran wasn't going into pure beverage. 0:02:19.400 --> 0:02:20.400 What she said, I think they. 0:02:22.000 --> 0:02:25.400 Trump says, I don't care what she said when she 0:02:25.560 --> 0:02:29.480 testified that Iran's not closing to getting above Trump decided. 0:02:29.120 --> 0:02:30.800 I think they're very close to having one. 0:02:30.960 --> 0:02:35.760 He said, yeah, So he's speaking about the intelligence around 0:02:36.160 --> 0:02:38.840 the most important issue right now, in the biggest decision 0:02:38.840 --> 0:02:42.240 of his entire presidency. The first person you would go 0:02:42.360 --> 0:02:47.079 to would be the DNIS. Like I said, they have 0:02:47.120 --> 0:02:48.799 access to all of it in all the different departments. 0:02:49.560 --> 0:02:53.120 And he says, I don't care what she said because 0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:56.760 she's wrong, right, He's basically just saying, I mean he's 0:02:57.160 --> 0:03:00.760 he's basically saying, she's part of that non interventionists don't 0:03:00.800 --> 0:03:04.280 ever attack anybody crowd that I kind of catered to. 0:03:04.480 --> 0:03:07.400 But in this case, I don't believe is right. She 0:03:07.600 --> 0:03:10.359 cannot be in her job a week from now. 0:03:10.400 --> 0:03:12.959 But just to make it more complicated, I would agree 0:03:13.080 --> 0:03:16.600 to make it more complicated. You got John Fetterman, Democratic Senator, 0:03:17.200 --> 0:03:20.280 arguing that supporting Israel and taking down the regime in 0:03:20.320 --> 0:03:23.359 Iran will be the key to lasting piece in Middle East. 0:03:23.520 --> 0:03:26.480 He's pro regime change, not just. 0:03:26.520 --> 0:03:31.160 Bombing, but regime change, which of course is a dirty 0:03:31.200 --> 0:03:34.399 phrase for a lot of people after. 0:03:34.200 --> 0:03:36.840 Iraq, which I saw somebody point out earlier. 0:03:36.840 --> 0:03:38.640 You have a whole bunch of hosts on cable news 0:03:38.720 --> 0:03:41.960 who are four years old when the regime change in 0:03:42.000 --> 0:03:45.360 Iraq has because that was twenty three years ago, twenty 0:03:45.360 --> 0:03:47.960 two years ago. So if you're twenty eight, you were 0:03:48.240 --> 0:03:51.200 five when that happens. On it's say, it's history to you. 0:03:51.600 --> 0:03:55.360 Another interesting wrinkle from Who's Where on Politics and Weird 0:03:55.400 --> 0:03:58.960 Bedfellows Josh Rogan, who we generally really like, although I 0:03:58.960 --> 0:04:01.960 don't agree with everything he said a lot from The 0:04:02.040 --> 0:04:05.960 Washington Post said, if Trump attacks Iran based on a 0:04:06.000 --> 0:04:10.720 flimsy claim of preemption, what after running on a foreign 0:04:10.800 --> 0:04:13.960 policy criticizing Bush for attacking a raq on a flimsy 0:04:14.040 --> 0:04:16.760 claim of preemption, he either has no core principles or 0:04:16.800 --> 0:04:19.400 has no clue what he's doing, or both scary times, 0:04:20.839 --> 0:04:22.760 How is it think comparing. 0:04:22.279 --> 0:04:26.320 Those two is? It's a canard, It's not accurate. 0:04:26.400 --> 0:04:29.040 How the hell is it a flimsy claim of preemption 0:04:29.920 --> 0:04:33.839 when the IAEA and everybody has been reporting that they're 0:04:33.960 --> 0:04:34.960 very close to getting a. 0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:38.839 Bomb, When both the Ayatola and the chief negotiator of 0:04:38.880 --> 0:04:41.360 Haran said one thing we're not going to give up 0:04:41.440 --> 0:04:47.760 is enrichment. You don't enrich uranium to get the light 0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:50.520 bulbs to light up and have civilian electricity. 0:04:50.560 --> 0:04:53.200 You do it to build a nuclear weapon. Period. Yeah. 0:04:53.240 --> 0:04:55.080 I don't know if Josh is off his rock or what, 0:04:55.200 --> 0:04:57.479 but I completely disagree with him on this. 0:04:57.800 --> 0:04:59.120 I will concede this point. 0:04:59.160 --> 0:05:02.719 And it's a the idea that this could lead to 0:05:03.320 --> 0:05:05.279 regime change in Iran than what? 0:05:06.400 --> 0:05:06.599 Then? 0:05:06.640 --> 0:05:09.520 What is a penny door's box of Middle East style? 0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:10.600 God help us? 0:05:10.800 --> 0:05:13.839 Do we have to? Well, Iran can't have the bomb. 0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:18.039 No, that's the bottom line, and that's what makes the 0:05:18.080 --> 0:05:22.640 decision easier. No matter what happens, there's nothing that is 0:05:23.560 --> 0:05:25.920 worse than letting them get a nuclear weapon, is there? 0:05:26.839 --> 0:05:29.520 Well, that's the question I think. I don't think it's possible. 0:05:30.560 --> 0:05:32.719 I can't even imagine a scenario that would be worse 0:05:32.800 --> 0:05:34.080 than Iran getting the bomb. 0:05:34.600 --> 0:05:36.160 Tucker Carlson disagrees with you. 0:05:36.240 --> 0:05:39.920 Even if it devolved into full Iraq chaos, which I 0:05:40.160 --> 0:05:46.120 seems incredibly unlikely to me, that would be better, wouldn't 0:05:46.120 --> 0:05:48.120 it than Iran getting a nuclear weapon? 0:05:49.320 --> 0:05:51.400 Depends who ends up in charge. You know what happens 0:05:51.400 --> 0:05:54.000 five ten years down the line. But no, I agree 0:05:54.040 --> 0:05:57.280 with you. It's not an open and shutcase. But I agree. 0:05:57.960 --> 0:06:00.839 A couple of notes very quickly from the online world. 0:06:01.040 --> 0:06:03.480 First of all, I came across this the great David Berg, 0:06:03.920 --> 0:06:08.000 Iowahawk blogger. The worst consequence of the Internet is the 0:06:08.040 --> 0:06:12.800 almost universal delusion that your opinions are shared by the majority. 0:06:13.720 --> 0:06:16.480 Once again, the worst consequence of the Internet is an 0:06:16.520 --> 0:06:19.360 almost universal delusion that your opinions are shared. 0:06:19.080 --> 0:06:19.719 By the majority. 0:06:19.720 --> 0:06:22.240 It's even worse than that, though, David, It's that my 0:06:22.360 --> 0:06:26.120 opinions are shared by enough people that they're right anyway, 0:06:26.160 --> 0:06:28.560 He says. The countdown of the top four sufferers of 0:06:28.600 --> 0:06:33.839 acute delusions of popularity Number four, transactivists number three true 0:06:35.040 --> 0:06:38.440 uh yeah, no kidding, and then the stupid idiot corporations 0:06:38.440 --> 0:06:40.920 that believe that well they had the media in education 0:06:41.000 --> 0:06:44.880 too anyway. Moving along, Number three Neo Nazi podcast bros. 0:06:46.839 --> 0:06:49.400 Number two campus garbage babies. 0:06:49.960 --> 0:06:51.119 What's a garbage baby? 0:06:51.160 --> 0:06:54.000 It's your It's I don't know, it's your campus cafea 0:06:54.080 --> 0:06:55.280 wearing dopes. 0:06:55.839 --> 0:06:58.600 Number one Caitlin Clark haters. 0:07:00.000 --> 0:07:03.840 An He mentions, there's this weird cult of paleo WNBA 0:07:03.960 --> 0:07:07.120 fans who are literally trying to organize a boycott for 0:07:07.240 --> 0:07:10.440 people to not watch games featuring Caitlin Clark. 0:07:10.560 --> 0:07:12.720 Good luck with that. 0:07:12.720 --> 0:07:14.600 That is the reason I bring that up is that's 0:07:14.640 --> 0:07:18.480 a pretty good encapsulation of the Internet. It's an echo 0:07:18.600 --> 0:07:22.520 chamber for everyone, no matter how stupid their opinions. 0:07:22.120 --> 0:07:23.200 And the algorithms. 0:07:23.240 --> 0:07:26.880 Algorithms are built to feed you people that agree with you, 0:07:27.400 --> 0:07:28.600 to help reinforce it. 0:07:29.160 --> 0:07:32.640 The whole for you, you know, section at Twitter for instance. 0:07:32.920 --> 0:07:37.320 So anyway, as Maga America is at each other's throats 0:07:37.320 --> 0:07:39.440 over the whole helping Israel thing. 0:07:39.440 --> 0:07:41.600 Jacob, I gotta jump in on that because you just 0:07:41.640 --> 0:07:44.680 said this drives me crazy. This is just the way 0:07:44.720 --> 0:07:47.400 politics works. But you always claim that the other side 0:07:47.480 --> 0:07:49.560 is doing something unique to them and it doesn't happen 0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:54.240 with you. I watch MSNBC and CNNA fair amount lots 0:07:54.240 --> 0:07:57.119 of discussion about the civil war within the Republican Party 0:07:57.160 --> 0:08:00.080 and how was a problem from the get go that 0:08:00.160 --> 0:08:03.840 the magamum Maga movement is a coalition of different groups 0:08:03.840 --> 0:08:07.120 that don't agree and it's coming apart and blah blah blah. 0:08:07.120 --> 0:08:10.520 Are you gonna tell me the Democratic Party hasn't been 0:08:10.520 --> 0:08:14.000 a coalition of groups that don't agree forever. 0:08:14.520 --> 0:08:15.600 Right, give me a break. 0:08:15.640 --> 0:08:18.400 Virtually every political party, every political party, yes, but the 0:08:18.400 --> 0:08:22.480 Democrats especially. Oh yeah, yeah, what a trans people have 0:08:22.560 --> 0:08:26.440 to do with militant Muslims in Hamtramck, Michigan, for instance, 0:08:26.520 --> 0:08:29.120 church going boy in the same party. That's what they 0:08:29.160 --> 0:08:31.840 have in common. Yeah, church go will go ahead and 0:08:31.880 --> 0:08:32.559 finish that up. 0:08:32.880 --> 0:08:35.720 Church going black women who are the least likely to 0:08:35.720 --> 0:08:38.200 support any of this trans stuff, or even gay marriage 0:08:38.240 --> 0:08:38.839 for that matter. 0:08:39.800 --> 0:08:43.199 With all the other people with queers for Palestine, Yes, 0:08:43.240 --> 0:08:44.679 in the same political party. 0:08:44.480 --> 0:08:47.520 Right, okay, Union leaders who had to hate illegal immigration. 0:08:47.600 --> 0:08:50.800 I mean, there's all kinds of examples, so really interesting 0:08:50.840 --> 0:08:53.360 study of how this works. Jade Vance is just tweeted, Look, 0:08:53.400 --> 0:08:56.400 I'm seeing this from the inside and admittedly biased towards 0:08:56.440 --> 0:08:58.840 our president and my friend, but there's a lot of 0:08:58.840 --> 0:09:01.160 crazy stuff on social media, so I want to address 0:09:01.160 --> 0:09:03.600 some things directly on the Iran issue. Then he gets 0:09:03.640 --> 0:09:06.640 into the whole enrichment thing and he says is he 0:09:06.679 --> 0:09:09.480 said repeatedly this would happen one of two ways they 0:09:09.520 --> 0:09:13.880 can't have I'm sorry. First, Potus has been amazingly consistent 0:09:13.960 --> 0:09:17.080 over ten years that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. 0:09:17.320 --> 0:09:19.480 Over the last few months, he encouraged his foreign policy 0:09:19.520 --> 0:09:22.120 team to reach a deal with the Uranians to accomplish 0:09:22.120 --> 0:09:24.880 this goal. The President has made clear that Iran cannot 0:09:24.920 --> 0:09:27.920 have uranium enrichment, and he said repeatedly that this would 0:09:27.960 --> 0:09:29.920 happen one of two ways, the easy way or the 0:09:30.000 --> 0:09:33.439 other way. And then he gets into the whole enrichment question, 0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:35.800 which we've already dealt with. It's one thing to want 0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:40.360 civilian energy. It's another thing to demand sophisticated enrichment capability. 0:09:41.000 --> 0:09:44.200 It's still another thing to cling to enrichment while simultaneously 0:09:44.280 --> 0:09:47.960 violating basic non proliferation obligations and enriching right to the 0:09:47.960 --> 0:09:52.200 point of weapons grade uranium. Josh Rogan, I've yet to 0:09:52.240 --> 0:09:54.600 see a single good argument for why Iran needs to 0:09:54.720 --> 0:09:58.000 enrich uranium well above the threshold for civilian use. I've 0:09:58.040 --> 0:10:00.319 yet to see a single good argument for why Iran 0:10:00.440 --> 0:10:04.040 was justified in violating his non proliferation obligations. I've yet 0:10:04.080 --> 0:10:08.640 to see a single good pushback against the IAEA's findings. Meanwhile, 0:10:08.679 --> 0:10:11.559 the President has shown remarkable restraint in keeping our militaries 0:10:11.559 --> 0:10:14.400 focused on protecting our troops and protecting our citizens. He 0:10:14.440 --> 0:10:17.800 may decide he needs to take further action and Iranian enrichment. 0:10:18.120 --> 0:10:20.440 That decision belongs to the president. And of course people 0:10:20.440 --> 0:10:22.959 are right to be worried about foreign entanglements after the 0:10:23.040 --> 0:10:26.160 last twenty five years of idiotic foreign policy tippiness. 0:10:26.160 --> 0:10:27.880 Gap toward that crowd, which. 0:10:27.760 --> 0:10:29.680 Is fine, it's a good point, But I believe the 0:10:29.679 --> 0:10:32.440 president has earned some trust on this issue. Having seen 0:10:32.440 --> 0:10:34.640 this up close and personal, I can assure you that 0:10:34.679 --> 0:10:37.560 he is only interested in using the American military to 0:10:37.600 --> 0:10:39.400 accomplish the American people's goals. 0:10:39.520 --> 0:10:42.520 Whatever he does, that is his focus. And so that 0:10:42.679 --> 0:10:43.440 is interesting. 0:10:44.080 --> 0:10:48.280 But the reaction, including some pretty significant accounts. 0:10:49.800 --> 0:10:51.920 One guy says, yeah, it makes sense to me. Death 0:10:51.960 --> 0:10:55.520 to America. He can't get away with it. Then this other. 0:10:55.800 --> 0:10:59.520 Blue check mark Twitter account, he has a bunch of 0:10:59.559 --> 0:11:02.600 tweets over the ears from Trump's from Trump in order 0:11:02.640 --> 0:11:05.560 to get elected, Barack Obama will start a war with Iran. 0:11:06.040 --> 0:11:09.040 Barack Obama will attack Iran in order to get reelected. 0:11:09.200 --> 0:11:11.760 A year later, I've predicted President Obama will at some 0:11:11.800 --> 0:11:14.000 point attack Iran in order to save face. 0:11:14.200 --> 0:11:16.520 There's a list of them that he shows. 0:11:16.960 --> 0:11:21.559 That's interesting, nice words, but it's still another war in 0:11:21.600 --> 0:11:23.400 the Middle East provoked by the Israelis. 0:11:23.440 --> 0:11:25.199 That will suck up a lot of resources. 0:11:25.440 --> 0:11:28.960 People are just tired of seeing Israel first, not America first. 0:11:29.160 --> 0:11:29.880 Oh my god. 0:11:30.800 --> 0:11:34.320 So that other stuff about how he criticized Obama or 0:11:34.360 --> 0:11:39.080 Bush forgetting US involved in wars, Okay, fine, leave that 0:11:39.120 --> 0:11:42.080 to political historians or something. Let's get back to the 0:11:42.080 --> 0:11:45.640 bottom line we started with. Iran can't have a nuclear weapon. 0:11:45.920 --> 0:11:49.640 I don't care who said whatever, doesn't make any difference. 0:11:49.679 --> 0:11:53.840 Iran can't have a nuclear weapon. Now the President coming 0:11:53.880 --> 0:11:57.840 out yesterday and saying, look, I invented America first, I 0:11:57.920 --> 0:12:01.199 get to define it. It is America first to stop 0:12:01.200 --> 0:12:05.320 around from getting a nuclear weapon. I Jack Armstrong agree 0:12:05.320 --> 0:12:06.040 with that position. 0:12:06.600 --> 0:12:06.840 JD. 0:12:07.040 --> 0:12:10.679 Van and he doesn't need ever run again. So you know, 0:12:10.720 --> 0:12:13.720 if he loses a chunk of people whatever JD. Vance 0:12:13.800 --> 0:12:16.600 is in a different situation, he can't lose that hole. 0:12:17.760 --> 0:12:20.080 We don't get involved in war'st crowd if he's going 0:12:20.120 --> 0:12:22.120 to run for president in a couple of years. 0:12:22.520 --> 0:12:22.720 Right. 0:12:23.360 --> 0:12:27.840 Interesting, The only pushback to JD that I've seen on 0:12:27.920 --> 0:12:31.760 the IAEA thing saying that Iran is clearly trying as 0:12:31.760 --> 0:12:33.720 fast as they can to get a nuke that's the 0:12:34.080 --> 0:12:39.480 fing UN's conclusion. So JD says, I haven't seen a 0:12:39.520 --> 0:12:43.000 single good pushback, and somebody says it was contrary to 0:12:43.040 --> 0:12:47.320 what our own DNI says. Can you help clarify? Well, right, yeah, 0:12:47.360 --> 0:12:49.840 Telsey Gabbard in March test. If I know they're not, 0:12:50.720 --> 0:12:52.480 she's going to be gone by the end of the week. 0:12:52.720 --> 0:12:56.079 So you take the word of Telsey Gabbard over the president. 0:12:56.280 --> 0:12:58.200 I do know from that crowd though, because I know 0:12:58.240 --> 0:13:00.600 a couple of people personally that a part of the 0:13:00.840 --> 0:13:03.800 you know, maybe some of you, the Tucker, Candice Owens, 0:13:03.920 --> 0:13:07.080 whatever crowd, Alex Jones, which we're about to talk about. 0:13:08.120 --> 0:13:10.000 They think I've had a person tell me this to 0:13:10.080 --> 0:13:10.480 my face. 0:13:11.200 --> 0:13:14.200 It proves that Trump is on the Epstein list and 0:13:14.240 --> 0:13:16.800 they have information about him that he has now flipped 0:13:17.120 --> 0:13:18.440 and had to go the other direction. 0:13:18.920 --> 0:13:21.240 Okay, I don't even have time to refute that because 0:13:21.280 --> 0:13:24.040 the people that hold the cards on the whole Epstein 0:13:24.080 --> 0:13:27.559 thing have him dangling at the end of their puppet strings. 0:13:27.960 --> 0:13:31.319 You are being manipulated by people who are smarter than you, 0:13:31.400 --> 0:13:33.000 that know how to trip your trigger. 0:13:33.240 --> 0:13:34.320 Sorry, I know that's hurtful. 0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:36.800 It's much easier to fools people than to convince them 0:13:36.800 --> 0:13:38.760 they're being fooled, but they. 0:13:38.640 --> 0:13:40.960 Are anyway going to get to some text four one, five, 0:13:41.040 --> 0:13:51.560 two nine five k FTC you today with a decent 0:13:51.640 --> 0:14:00.559 chance of drones driving. That's the Iranian NewsCap series. 0:14:01.720 --> 0:14:06.520 In the middle of her uh. 0:14:05.080 --> 0:14:07.640 Her report on the latest stoning at the soccer stadium 0:14:07.760 --> 0:14:09.839 or whatever she was doing the Iranian news and the 0:14:10.000 --> 0:14:12.760 drone hit from a Iran from Israel. 0:14:12.840 --> 0:14:15.520 I'm enjoying some of the memes. It sounded like angry 0:14:15.600 --> 0:14:18.000 ranting about how you will now we all not bow 0:14:18.080 --> 0:14:21.080 to you. Alla will protect us, No bomb will reach us. 0:14:21.120 --> 0:14:21.640 Kerbloey. 0:14:24.280 --> 0:14:27.600 So we got a number of texts very interesting on 0:14:27.640 --> 0:14:29.560 this topic of going to war with Iran or not. 0:14:32.240 --> 0:14:34.480 I taken a decent amount of Candace Owens and Joe 0:14:34.600 --> 0:14:36.560 Rogan and they are not saying Trump is doing this 0:14:36.640 --> 0:14:38.800 due to the Epstein list. I just said, I know 0:14:38.840 --> 0:14:42.680 two people that follow that world of Candas Owans and 0:14:42.760 --> 0:14:45.280 Tucker Carlson and they and they have said that. But 0:14:45.680 --> 0:14:48.280 it's interesting to me that this person lumps Candas Owens 0:14:48.320 --> 0:14:50.760 and Joe Rogan together. I don't see that at all. 0:14:52.280 --> 0:14:55.720 Joe Rogan has those people on. But I've never got 0:14:55.720 --> 0:14:59.040 the sense that he believes everything they say. Another text, 0:14:59.040 --> 0:15:01.640 After trillion's and dollar dollars and thousands of lives wasted 0:15:01.680 --> 0:15:04.160 over the years in Iraq and Afghanistan, you're really this 0:15:04.280 --> 0:15:07.000 hung gung ho about the US jumping into the fray 0:15:07.040 --> 0:15:12.160 and doing a repeat in Iran a repeat. The repeat 0:15:12.200 --> 0:15:15.320 would be there were no weapons of mass destruction. So 0:15:15.360 --> 0:15:18.480 you think there are no there's no nuclear program or 0:15:18.520 --> 0:15:19.040 I don't know. 0:15:19.400 --> 0:15:22.040 And you think Donald Trump's going to try to install 0:15:22.040 --> 0:15:25.440 a Jeffersonian democracy in Iraq, like George w did, No. 0:15:25.480 --> 0:15:27.480 I reject your premise. It's a dumb question. 0:15:27.840 --> 0:15:31.280 Next, Alex Jones just tweeted out a picture of him 0:15:31.360 --> 0:15:34.480 and Tucker as he was on Tucker's show. I am 0:15:34.520 --> 0:15:37.880 proud that Tucker Carlson is standing his ground against the psychotic, 0:15:38.000 --> 0:15:41.640 warmongering neo cons that have brought the world to the 0:15:41.720 --> 0:15:45.160 verge of thermo nuclear armageddon. 0:15:46.040 --> 0:15:50.520 By preventing Iran from having a new exactly. 0:15:50.920 --> 0:15:55.560 So, yes, we're bringing the world to the edge of 0:15:55.800 --> 0:16:01.000 a nuclear war the country that doesn't have nukes because 0:16:01.000 --> 0:16:03.000 we're stopping them from getting news. 0:16:03.400 --> 0:16:08.240 Exactly is that they've been making that plea about Russia 0:16:08.280 --> 0:16:09.440 and Ukraine too. 0:16:09.920 --> 0:16:13.240 Right, and Russia does have nukes obviously, does Alex Jones 0:16:14.000 --> 0:16:18.000 and Tucker Carlson do they believe that? Do they believe 0:16:18.080 --> 0:16:20.880 things would be fine if you let a Ran get 0:16:20.880 --> 0:16:21.800 a nuclear weapon? 0:16:24.480 --> 0:16:25.360 I really don't know. 0:16:25.440 --> 0:16:29.480 Alex Jones, in his famous lawsuit his trial, had to 0:16:29.520 --> 0:16:31.480 admit that, look, I say all sorts of stuff. I 0:16:31.520 --> 0:16:34.520 don't believe that's true. He did say that, right. Wow, 0:16:34.680 --> 0:16:37.840 it's like I'm playing a character. Yeah, I'm playing a character. 0:16:37.880 --> 0:16:41.560 I'm pandering to a certain set of people who want 0:16:41.560 --> 0:16:43.840 to believe certain things. So I tell them what they 0:16:43.840 --> 0:16:46.960 want to believe, and I sell enormous amounts of you know, 0:16:47.360 --> 0:16:50.680 subscriptions and advertising in the rest of that to them. 0:16:51.400 --> 0:16:54.560 Now again, as I said the other hour, I guess 0:16:54.800 --> 0:16:57.520 there are some people. I think our ninety percent grifter 0:16:57.600 --> 0:17:01.280 and ten percent sincere, there's someho or the other, or 0:17:01.320 --> 0:17:02.520 even one hundred percent since here. 0:17:02.560 --> 0:17:08.040 They're just misguided and wrong. Wow. 0:17:08.200 --> 0:17:10.760 It'd be interesting to see how this plays out over 0:17:10.800 --> 0:17:12.399 the next couple of days, because it's coming. 0:17:13.640 --> 0:17:17.479 It's gonna happen, Armstrong and Getty. 0:17:18.920 --> 0:17:23.439 Given the fact that Israel and Iran you're engaged in 0:17:23.480 --> 0:17:27.320 a very active conflict right now in the short term, 0:17:27.600 --> 0:17:31.880 How do you declare victory? What is or defined victory? 0:17:31.920 --> 0:17:33.800 What is your definition of victory? 0:17:33.960 --> 0:17:34.480 Right now? 0:17:34.960 --> 0:17:39.880 The ability to destroy Israel through nuclear weapons and ballistic 0:17:39.960 --> 0:17:42.040 missiles is eliminator. 0:17:42.520 --> 0:17:44.160 That's the victory. That's our victory. 0:17:44.520 --> 0:17:47.440 And if the people in Iran then choose a different government, 0:17:47.880 --> 0:17:49.880 it's going to be great for the entire Middle East 0:17:49.920 --> 0:17:52.159 and really for the world, because the people of the 0:17:52.200 --> 0:17:55.480 Middle East want normalization with Israel and Israel wants nothing 0:17:55.560 --> 0:17:57.359 more than normalization with its neighborhood. 0:17:57.520 --> 0:17:58.440 That's an open question. 0:17:58.560 --> 0:18:01.320 I think we went through the air spring just because 0:18:01.320 --> 0:18:04.840 the regime has changed. The one that replaces it might 0:18:04.880 --> 0:18:07.280 not be better for the world, So you can't state 0:18:07.320 --> 0:18:11.080 that openly. But the idea that this ends when they 0:18:11.119 --> 0:18:14.080 no longer can have a nuke that makes good sense 0:18:14.119 --> 0:18:14.320 to me. 0:18:15.440 --> 0:18:18.960 Yeah, yeah, your whole regime change statement is absolutely true 0:18:19.080 --> 0:18:23.600 because we have made that statement to in reference to 0:18:24.160 --> 0:18:27.440 you know, people who think you can like boot out 0:18:27.480 --> 0:18:30.280 to the United States government or something and it'll become 0:18:30.440 --> 0:18:33.560 this paradise or that paradise Marxist or whatever. Now, the 0:18:33.920 --> 0:18:37.159 history of that sort of thing is bad. You destabilize things, 0:18:37.440 --> 0:18:42.520 and the power vacuum can suck something even worse into 0:18:42.520 --> 0:18:44.480 the seats of power, over and over again. 0:18:44.600 --> 0:18:50.119 See France from seventeen eighty nine until Napoleon arrived. 0:18:51.280 --> 0:18:54.119 And so the guy who asked is somewhat bligerent question 0:18:54.200 --> 0:18:57.920 before the break that I answered rudely and dismissively. I'm 0:18:57.960 --> 0:19:00.480 sure he's thinking, well, wait a minute, you're making my 0:19:00.720 --> 0:19:04.280 point for me. Would you like to reset that briefly? 0:19:04.320 --> 0:19:06.520 Do you remember it was about I don't remember. 0:19:07.040 --> 0:19:09.960 Oh, the guy said, oh, so you wanna you want 0:19:09.960 --> 0:19:12.480 to do another iraq? Hey, you want to get sucked 0:19:12.520 --> 0:19:17.199 into another you know, quagmire of a just replicate a 0:19:17.280 --> 0:19:19.680 rock and uh And I wish you had that in 0:19:19.720 --> 0:19:22.040 front of you, because it was asked in the typical 0:19:22.240 --> 0:19:25.360 online belligerent This is simple and if you don't get 0:19:25.400 --> 0:19:28.800 this your stupid way, which is why I responded in 0:19:28.840 --> 0:19:34.880 a yeah, you're stupid way. If I were to ask 0:19:34.960 --> 0:19:39.760 that question more uh, reasonably and intelligently, it would be Dudes, 0:19:40.600 --> 0:19:43.880 in what ways do you believe this is a different 0:19:44.000 --> 0:19:47.360 situation than the weapons of mass destruction in a rock 0:19:47.680 --> 0:19:52.199 or given the experience of a rock how can you 0:19:52.400 --> 0:19:54.480 advocate for attacking Iran? 0:19:54.600 --> 0:19:55.960 This seems similar. 0:19:56.680 --> 0:19:59.400 Now, that's the way like a civilized human would ask 0:19:59.480 --> 0:20:04.440 the question, and here's the response, and it's it's book length. 0:20:04.520 --> 0:20:09.320 So I'll summarize. The One thing about the Iraq experience 0:20:11.680 --> 0:20:17.879 is there are mistakes made so monumentally stupid it's difficult 0:20:17.920 --> 0:20:19.160 to believe they happened. 0:20:19.960 --> 0:20:25.240 Starting with, they had like three months of funding planned 0:20:25.400 --> 0:20:29.240 for the war after Sadom was booted out, like it'll 0:20:29.280 --> 0:20:31.440 be over, everything will be fine, and we'll just leave. 0:20:32.400 --> 0:20:34.720 Yeah, you've got George W. Bush. 0:20:34.840 --> 0:20:37.480 And and you know, if I had to leave my life, 0:20:37.560 --> 0:20:40.880 my fortune, my children in the hands of one man, 0:20:40.960 --> 0:20:44.160 George W. Bush or Donald Trump, it would well, if 0:20:44.160 --> 0:20:47.280 it was my fortune, it'd probably be Trump. But in 0:20:47.400 --> 0:20:49.840 terms of being a good, decent, moral human being, I 0:20:49.840 --> 0:20:53.640 think George Bush wins by a mile sure, which led 0:20:53.760 --> 0:20:55.119 him down the garden path. 0:20:55.520 --> 0:20:56.480 He had this. 0:20:56.720 --> 0:21:02.840 Unbelievably silly idea that the people of the Middle East, 0:21:03.000 --> 0:21:06.919 including fundamentalist Muslims, just couldn't wait for Jeffersonian democracy. 0:21:07.000 --> 0:21:09.199 Well, and you know Dick Cheney famously saying I think 0:21:09.240 --> 0:21:12.560 will be greeted by liberators. Well, I think we were liberators. Yeah, 0:21:12.600 --> 0:21:16.160 but immediately they all, Okay, who's in charge. Now I'm 0:21:16.160 --> 0:21:18.199 in charge and no, no, no, you're not. I'm in charge. 0:21:18.320 --> 0:21:20.480 And that happened, like it always happens. Somebody's going to 0:21:20.520 --> 0:21:22.480 be in charge, and if you don't agree, sometimes you 0:21:22.520 --> 0:21:23.119 got a war over it. 0:21:23.119 --> 0:21:24.000
