Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Show, Katty Armstrong and

4
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:34,479
Speaker 1: say you are.

5
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:36,720
Speaker 2: We are in a dimly lit room deeper than the

6
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 2: bowels of the Armstrong in Getty Communications Compound, so close

7
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 2: to the weekend you can smell it, and today we

8
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 2: are toiling under the title of the show, a.

9
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 3: Return to bita bitza. We will explain in a moment

10
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:51,199
Speaker 3: if you're not familiar with that term it goes backaways,

11
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 3: or if you prefer nice moon. That's what she said,

12
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 3: she Xi Chairman, we are in a race for the moon.

13
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:06,320
Speaker 2: I hadn't realized the true significance of it. We will elaborate, Okay, cool.

14
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 2: We talked a little bit about that yesterday.

15
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 4: I was complaining that that angle of it was getting

16
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 4: no coverage. It was, as usual, the identity politics of

17
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 4: the astronauts as opposed to the strategic reason that we're

18
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 4: going to the other side of the moon. Well, and

19
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 4: if the United States is in some sort of contest,

20
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 4: even with the most evil, oppressive regime on Earth, obviously

21
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 4: we're the bad guy. According to virtually all of the media,

22
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:32,680
Speaker 4: so they would never taken us versus them stance.

23
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:33,559
Speaker 1: Yeah.

24
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 2: Interesting, I want to hear more about that. Definitely, the

25
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 2: uh I'm I guess I shouldn't be amazed at this

26
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 2: point five weeks into the war, four and a half

27
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 2: weeks into the war, somehow we decided we're going to

28
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 2: judge the war entirely on gas prices. I don't know

29
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 2: how that got started, but apparently. I mean, that's every

30
00:01:55,880 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 2: media oil jumped after the presidents. It's either a good idea, dear,

31
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 2: it's not. The price of gas really doesn't have a

32
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 2: lot to do with it. You know, when I had

33
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 2: to get my completely ravaged joint replaced, they knocked me unconscious.

34
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: Then they dislocated my leg and it hurt for weeks. No,

35
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:18,639
Speaker 1: it had to be done.

36
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, the interim's painful and uncomfortable, and then the job

37
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 2: is done. So the way the world works sometimes, God,

38
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 2: they're so dishonest. You can't hate the media enough.

39
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 1: Well, you can still be against the war.

40
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 4: It just doesn't seem like the best angle to me

41
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 4: is to gas went up okay after the speech, because

42
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 4: the whole goal apparently is to keep gas at a

43
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 4: certain price as opposed to keeping Iran from beating a

44
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 4: nuclear weapon. I came across a couple of things yesterday

45
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 4: that finally it all made sense. I never understand why

46
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:52,639
Speaker 4: the Trump White House can't or doesn't communicate these things

47
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 4: more clearly. What's going on? But around all the rockets?

48
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 4: Why we got to take out the rocket capability?

49
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 1: And why that why?

50
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 4: Marco Rubio said the other day the war ends when

51
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,639
Speaker 4: we've taken out the rocket capability. Everybody's like, what, Well,

52
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 4: it makes sense to me now, so maybe we can

53
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:09,640
Speaker 4: get to that little later on a couple of our

54
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 4: different articles I read. So we got lots to talk

55
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 4: about today. How's the Moon mission going? I heard about

56
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 4: the floaters? Did you hear about the floaters? I don't

57
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 4: know about the floaters. Oh, it's a little gross, Adie,

58
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 4: are prepared for gross to start the show?

59
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 1: Dang it?

60
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 2: What else is now into the sore already? The show

61
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 2: just started. Well, it's the only problem reported on the

62
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 2: space launch so far. They some sort of problem with

63
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 2: the fan in the bathroom, which apparently h OH keeps

64
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 2: the defecate in the bag and from floating around the

65
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 2: space capsule. So they had to fix that, because if

66
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 2: you don't want that, if you go number two in space,

67
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 2: it just floats off on you apparently, which makes sense perfect, definitely, Yeah, yeah,

68
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 2: to capture it. Yeah, it's not your standard bathroom. It's lovely,

69
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 2: that is. It's uh yeah, it draws the deficate, is

70
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 2: you so delicately and sophisticatedly put? It draws the deficate

71
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 2: into the storage unit.

72
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 4: Right, because otherwise, again it's just kind of floating kaka

73
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 4: good exactly.

74
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 5: Well, I'm glad they got that figured out.

75
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 1: An asteroid if you.

76
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 2: Will, Hey, folks, I get paid for this.

77
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 1: Excellent.

78
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 4: My kids were younger, I would tell them that joke,

79
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 4: but I'm afraid they're too old for it.

80
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:44,599
Speaker 2: Oh boy, I'd like to apologize. You should No, you

81
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:45,039
Speaker 2: should not.

82
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 1: Oh where were we?

83
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 6: You know?

84
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 2: We could start to show officially a little bit sure early.

85
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:56,119
Speaker 2: That seems like a good idea, especially executive producer Hansen says,

86
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 2: Floating Deficate is the name of my new free form

87
00:04:59,040 --> 00:04:59,919
Speaker 2: dark metal band.

88
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: I'd go to your show, yeah, just as party.

89
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 4: That's interesting problem to have right off the bat, though,

90
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 4: I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe Getty on this. It is

91
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 4: a Thursday April second year, twenty twenty six, Armstrong and

92
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 4: getting we approved this program.

93
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 2: Let's commence then officially according to FCCU rules and regulations

94
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 2: and explain the bit of bitsa reference at mark.

95
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 6: We're going to hit them extremely hard over the next

96
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 6: two to three weeks. We're going to bring them back

97
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 6: to the Stone Ages where they belong.

98
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:33,039
Speaker 1: There you go in the wake of nine to eleven.

99
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:36,479
Speaker 2: The phrase bummed them back to the Stone Age was

100
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 2: so common we just came up with the abbreviation bit

101
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 2: of BITSA. I guess it's an acronym, isn't it.

102
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 4: So Oil jumps almost immediately during Trump's speech last night,

103
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 4: I guess as soon as the market's got the inkling

104
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:55,359
Speaker 4: that he wasn't going to announce basically that it was

105
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 4: over markets. Perhaps he was going to come out and

106
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 4: say we have won the we will be ending operations

107
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 4: within the next He did not. You went risk to

108
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 4: settlement with the new leaders. That would have been lovely.

109
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 4: We are going to bomb them back to the Stone

110
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 4: Age if they don't come around, which is an indication

111
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:12,280
Speaker 4: this could go on.

112
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 1: For a while.

113
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,919
Speaker 4: I have been taking in more information on this whole project.

114
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 4: Wall Street Journal has got a good article on it.

115
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 4: To go in there and grab the enriched uranium and

116
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,039
Speaker 4: get it out of there, that would be one of

117
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:32,840
Speaker 4: the all time most difficult military maneuvers of my lifetime.

118
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 1: Has everybody thought.

119
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 2: This completely through to what it would take here, This

120
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 2: is what I asked last week when we were talking

121
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 2: to my clients. Wouldn't you need to like secure an

122
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:46,040
Speaker 2: incredibly large area for like a month and bring in bulldozer.

123
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,119
Speaker 1: Yes, you would have to do all that sort of stuff. Yeah,

124
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: it would take a.

125
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 2: Lot of people, and you'd just be a such a

126
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 2: sitting duck target. And then the transportation of the stuff,

127
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 2: they'd have to bring in trucks. Where are the truck's

128
00:06:58,040 --> 00:06:59,359
Speaker 2: gonna drive to exactly?

129
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:00,839
Speaker 6: Yeah?

130
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: How vulnerable would they be? Good?

131
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 4: Gracious the border with a rack it's a little more

132
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 4: friendly or Saudi Arabia I guess I don't know, but uh,

133
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 4: it very well might be one hundred percent necessary to

134
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 4: do to get that enriched. Your enemy can't just have

135
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 4: it floating around like space defecate.

136
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 2: Right, and it's going to be Although one of the

137
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 2: takeaways from the speech last night was that Trump didn't

138
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 2: state this, you know, just in black and white. But

139
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 2: he hinted heavily that no, that's all. The uranium is

140
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 2: buried under tons of rubble. It would take them ages

141
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 2: to get it out and use it. We're going to

142
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 2: keep an eye on it, suggesting that no, we're not

143
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 2: going to go get it.

144
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 4: According to the Wall Street Journal, he's the one that

145
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 4: suggested a project to get it out of there. So

146
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 4: maybe he's been convinced by the military that is practically undoable. Perhaps,

147
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 4: I hope so it sounds like a and well, I

148
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 4: hope what he's saying is true, because I don't want

149
00:07:57,840 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 4: the world to be able to get their hands on

150
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 4: a whole bunch to uranium that has been enriched.

151
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 1: But if it's buried under gazillion pounds of.

152
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:08,679
Speaker 2: Rocks, no it ain't going anywhere, right, right, And life,

153
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 2: as well as presidencies, are full of things that sound

154
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 2: like good ideas until you learn exactly what's involved.

155
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 1: I brought into a few of those in my life.

156
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 1: Oh lord, yes, my alpack of farm for instance. Oh yeah,

157
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 1: your out pack of farm. Us talk about that all

158
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:26,080

00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 4: like it's something there. I remember when we when when

Speaker 4: people went to church, people, the whole thing.

00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 2: And then you live in godless California. Right, it's still

178
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 2: in the same way because it's exploded in size. I

179
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 2: don't know about Charlotte. When I mentioned the rural areas

180
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 2: certainly are oh yeah, absolutely true. Yeah, yeah, they are

181
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,280

Speaker 2: Seebel Newsom takes her children to see the horrors of

183
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 2: racism and bigotry and misogyny and who knows what else. Actually,

184
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 2: if you missed this, she took her kids on a

185
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:57,680
Speaker 2: tour of the Red States of America so they could

186
00:09:57,679 --> 00:09:59,640

Speaker 7: It's the lead story with Katie Green and Katie also

191
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:12,680

00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 5: I was born on a good Friday?

193
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: Were really I was? Look at you? Well, it was

194
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 1: an extra good Friday that day.

195
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 7: All right, let's go to the alphabet networks.

196
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 5: NBC. Trump makes his case for.

197
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:27,560
Speaker 7: Iran war, saying you will and shortly, but more strikes

198
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 7: are ahead.

199
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 2: Wall Street Journal by the way, gave this speech a

200
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:31,200
Speaker 2: very high grade.

201
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 1: CNN gave it.

202
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 4: An fly depends on how you look at it.

203
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 7: ABC US Embassy tells Americans to leave Iraq and cites

204
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:44,079
Speaker 7: terror threats, and CNN oil prices surge on Trump's vow

205
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 7: to hit Iran quote extremely hard.

206
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:48,960
Speaker 4: I would just say briefly on the speech, I'm not

207
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 4: sure those things matter that much anymore. It's not like

208
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,680
Speaker 4: the old days if everybody waits around for the president

209
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 4: to give a primetime speech and otherwise doesn't hear anything.

210
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 4: I mean, we get a drumbeat of Trump talking every

211
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:05,200
Speaker 4: single day. It was just another hymn talking. I don't

212
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 4: know why it would matter that much.

213
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 2: Well, I think the material mattered, or it could have

214
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,079
Speaker 2: mattered a lot more than it did, just because the

215
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 2: message last night is we're going to keep doing what

216
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 2: we're doing, and everybody was looking for some pivot point.

217
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 4: Okay, well, do you want to bet abage to whether

218
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 4: or not he says something today that.

219
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 1: Makes you wonder why he said what he said last night.

220
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 1: Oh no, that's one hundred percent true.

221
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 2: What you said is one hundred percent true unless he

222
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,080
Speaker 2: had a major pivot point announcement to make.

223
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 1: That's a better way to statement.

224
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:45,079
Speaker 7: From the New York Times, Key justices appear skeptical of

225
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 7: limiting birthright citizenship.

226
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 1: I have a feeling can be disappointed by this decision. Yeah,

227
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 1: me too.

228
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 2: We're going to talk to one of our friends from

229
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 2: the Pacific Legal Foundation about what he thought of the

230
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 2: oral arguments and little tea leafreedom from Reuters.

231
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:12,479
Speaker 7: Russia plans to send second ship with oil to Cuba.

232
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 4: So we're trying to strangle Cuba unless it makes oil

233
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,559
Speaker 4: too expensive, or it makes them fall before we're ready

234
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 4: to deal with it, or something.

235
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 1: It seems to be the case.

236
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 7: From the Wall Street Journal, US lifts sanctions on Venezuela's leader,

237
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:32,840
Speaker 7: opening the door to deals.

238
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 2: That's an evolving situation, clearly. It's the weird relationship we

239
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,080
Speaker 2: have now with the new dictators is somewhat.

240
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 1: Troubling, but they go wait and see attitude.

241
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:48,200
Speaker 5: From the Chicago Tribune.

242
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:54,960
Speaker 7: Universities pressured to strip names of Epstein associates from campus buildings.

243
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 4: I like that headline Epstein Associates. So what does that mean?

244
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 4: Is that just your name showed up somewhere in an email?

245
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 4: And these universities that are lousy with communists and America haters. Please,

246
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,439
Speaker 4: you're going to cleanse yourself with the evildoers, are you?

247
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:15,199
Speaker 1: That's cute?

248
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 7: From the New York Post, Red Lobster to revive a

249
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,080
Speaker 7: disastrous endless shrimp deal.

250
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 1: Really, I thought that's what forced them into bankruptcy.

251
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 5: That is what forced them into bankruptcy.

252
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 1: They're bringing back the endless shrimp.

253
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 7: Apparently they will be rolling it out on like a

254
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 7: month to month basis, so like it'll be a promotion.

255
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 5: Okay than like in all the time sort of thing.

256
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 7: Right, And they're also hoping to put more of their

257
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:44,079
Speaker 7: products into stores.

258
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 2: Okay, I can buy in retail red Lobster branded products.

259
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, I know, like right now, you can buy the

00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:52,599
Speaker 7: their biscuit mix. M.

261
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 1: The biscuits are pretty good. The bestcits are good.

262
00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:58,080
Speaker 5: Studdy vines.

263
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 7: Thinking positively about getting older may shape how you age.

264
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 1: I'll be darned. Attitude matters who knew that's stupid? Shut

265
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:11,080
Speaker 1: up breaking this? Yeah, no kidding.

266
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 5: And finally from the Babylon b.

267
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 7: Christy No asks her husband if there's anything he needs

268
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 7: to get off his chest.

269
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 1: Oh, simple, but delightful. Well done, Seth and Crew.

270
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 4: So Mark Hawpern, who has a lot of sources in Washington,

271
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 4: d C, said there is a lot more shocking stuff

272
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 4: to come on that story.

273
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: Oh, I can't imagine what it's going to be.

274
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 2: Credit where it's due to JT from Livermore, who pointed

275
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 2: out that the story is probably more significant than it

276
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 2: seems because of the blackmail threat Yeah, of a cabinet official,

277
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 2: and then more importantly, speculated did she shoot the dog

278
00:14:58,120 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 2: because he knew too much?

279
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 1: I heard somebody say, did the dog shoot himself to

280
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 1: get out of the family? Oh? Too dark? Too dark?

281
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 1: I like it. Yeah.

282
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 4: The whole security risk thing is damned interesting because she

283
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 4: was the secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, and

284
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 4: any sort of terrorist group or anything like that that's

285
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 4: got any sort of black maleble material on her.

286
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 2: Husband that could have been a big deal. How did

287
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 2: How did I assume they do the most thurrough of

288
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 2: background check on you when you're gonna be the DHS

289
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 2: secretary because I just assume you have the absolute top

290
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 2: clearance that exists. But who's they in this scenario the Senate?

291
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 2: I guess whoever does the background checks? I think the

292
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 2: FBI does the background checks. Didn't we learn that through

293
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 2: all this? Right?

294
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 1: But in service to the president? Right?

295
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 2: So if Trump says it, I don't care if her

296
00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 2: husband wears big fake boob, since pays five dollars a

297
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 2: minute to pro skanks to talk to them.

298
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 4: But there's no news that Trump was Noe knew that

299
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 4: and said that's okay, right, you just no.

300
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, even if the FBI uncovered something kinky

301
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 2: like that. The president could still say, Okay, great, I

302
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 2: still honor. I guess you wouldn't though you wouldn't think so.

303
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 4: No, no, no, But that is that is a very

304
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 4: blackmailable situation. I mean, that's way beyond having an affair

305
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 4: or something like that. Uh, you could have gotten to

306
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 4: him and put him in a position where, hey, I

307
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 4: need you to kind of go take a look at

308
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 4: your wife's phone and.

309
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 1: See who she talked to today or something.

310
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 4: Ron he's thinking, yeah, I don't really want the world

311
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 4: to know about my whole bimblification finish, And.

312
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 2: They're not asking me to go more than like half

313
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 2: an inch over the line, right, And that's the way

314
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 2: they get you. Yeah, once you're half an inch over

315
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 2: the line, they say, oh, we've got proof you went

316
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 2: over the line and we could have you arrested.

317
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 1: So we need you to do.

318
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 4: This now, oh something to get off her chest. And

319
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 4: he had the big giant okay, now I get it.

320
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 2: Oh boy, Michael Traumas to Armstrong a picture.

321
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 1: Wow.

322
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:08,880
Speaker 4: If there's some more more shocking stuff to come out

323
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 4: on that, I'm having trouble even imagining what it would be.

324
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,359
Speaker 4: But okay, we got more news of the day coming up.

325
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 4: If you missed a segment, get the podcast Armstrong and Getty.

326
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,639
Speaker 1: On demand Armstrong and Getty.

327
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:24,120
Speaker 6: Thanks to the progress we've made, I can say tonight

328
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 6: that we are on track to complete all of America's

329
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 6: military objectives shortly, very shortly. We're going to hit them

330
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:35,920
Speaker 6: extremely hard over the next two to three weeks. We're

331
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:39,160
Speaker 6: going to bring them back to the Stone ages where

332
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 6: they belong. In the meantime, discussions are ongoing. Regime change

333
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 6: was not our goal. We never said regime change, but

334
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 6: regime change.

335
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,160
Speaker 1: Has occurred because of all.

336
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 6: Of their original leader's deaths.

337
00:17:54,760 --> 00:18:00,360
Speaker 2: They're all dead, possibly replaced by people that are every

338
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 2: bit as hardline or even more so.

339
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 1: So. It's hard to tell.

340
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 4: Man, I was listening to somebody who clearly had more

341
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:08,200
Speaker 4: information on this than me yesterday talk about how there

342
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 4: is a battle going on between the revolutionary Guard, who

343
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 4: are bloodthirsty warlord businessmen more than anything else, and the

344
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:25,359
Speaker 4: religious zealots, and who you're hearing from on a regular basis,

345
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 4: when you hear Iran said varies, and that's why it

346
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,640
Speaker 4: seems kind of all over the place, and maybe why

347
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 4: Trump's responses seem all over the place because you're responding

348
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 4: to two different factions.

349
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 1: What a situation, who do you pick in that fight?

350
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 4: And this particular pundit and I thought this was damn interesting, said,

351
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:48,399
Speaker 4: Iran might not be able to open.

352
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:49,119
Speaker 1: The strait of horror moves.

353
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:52,400
Speaker 4: I mean, if one of those groups makes a deal

354
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 4: with Trump that the other group doesn't like, they might

355
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 4: keep the straight of horror moves closed to try to

356
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 4: end up being deep power in Iran. Right, So just

357
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:08,919
Speaker 4: their internal battle which could turn into an actual open

358
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 4: bullets flying internal battle at some point.

359
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:12,880
Speaker 1: Interesting.

360
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:17,400
Speaker 4: But to the price of gas thing, which we'll talk

361
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:19,919
Speaker 4: more about later. In the price of oil thing, I was

362
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 4: reading a piece by Mark Penn. If you don't know

363
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:25,200
Speaker 4: his name, he was Hillary's campaign manager back in two

364
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 4: thousand and eight. He's a big time Democrat strategist polster

365
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,879
Speaker 4: back when Democrats were like, you know, left but normal,

366
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 4: which that boat sailed a long time ago.

367
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:36,160
Speaker 1: But anyway, he had an article in the New York Post.

368
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,439
Speaker 2: I'll read about it later about how Gus was this

369
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 2: high under Obama for like three weeks during this period

370
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 2: and nobody said a word and blah blah blah, and

371
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 2: how we can't be basing the war around the price

372
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:46,919
Speaker 2: of oil.

373
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 1: And all the sort of thing that we were just

374
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 1: saying not long ago.

375
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 4: So I thought that was interesting from a Democrat speaking

376
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 4: of the Democrats. This polling came out yesterday. Who was

377
00:19:56,640 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 4: this polling? It was at CNN, I think as CNN Politics,

378
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 4: and it fits in with most other polls. This is

379
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 4: not an outlier. It's kind of confirming other poles that

380
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 4: are out there. Trump's numbers are down in a whole

381
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:11,880
Speaker 4: bunch of different areas. There will be polls coming out

382
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,639
Speaker 4: soon where he's in the twenties. They would be outliers

383
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:16,959
Speaker 4: at this point, but you know that'll get a lot

384
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 4: of attention the first one that has him at twenty

385
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:23,159
Speaker 4: nine percent, because that's damnlow his approval rating handling of

386
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:26,920
Speaker 4: his presidency. And this is since January of this year.

387
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 4: We just ended March, so basically how the first quarter

388
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 4: go for the president. He went from thirty nine percent

389
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:37,639
Speaker 4: approval to thirty five percent approval. His handling of the

390
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 4: economy is down eight points since January, and it wasn't

391
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:44,160
Speaker 4: that high to start with. From thirty nine to thirty one,

392
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 4: you're almost in the twenties. On your handling of the economy.

393
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 1: I was just reading some stuff fight Who was it,

394
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 1: Phil Graham? I think.

395
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,920
Speaker 2: The old timey senator, an economist and moderate, who was

396
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:01,400
Speaker 2: talking about how the terriff have been so bad for

397
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 2: American business, specifically manufacturers, because all of their inputs have

398
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:09,440
Speaker 2: gotten so much more expensive they can't compete. And so, yeah,

399
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 2: I've been shocked at how not focused on the economy

400
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 2: the second Trump uh go around sight.

401
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 4: And that's specific reality you're talking about. People's perceptions can

402
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 4: be well, they can be the opposite reality or an

403
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 4: exaggeration of reality. They don't have to be right on

404
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 4: and people's perceptions right now, economic conditions in the US

405
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 4: are poor, say seventy percent, seventy seven percent of Americas.

406
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 1: Oh, that's terrible.

407
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:40,639
Speaker 4: Economic conditions in the US are poor, say seventy seven

408
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 4: percent of Americans. That's up eight points since the beginning

409
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:46,680
Speaker 4: of this year. And we are already through the whole

410
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:50,160
Speaker 4: tariff thing, and people, you know their attitudes about tariff

411
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:51,440
Speaker 4: at the beginning of the year.

412
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 2: I will double down on my oft made statement that

413
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 2: if inflation is high, nothing else matters. And the ugly

414
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:03,920
Speaker 2: sister of inflation is uncertainty, and there's you know, it's

415
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 2: that's thick in the air. So you take those two

416
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 2: things together and people are really worried.

417
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:13,680
Speaker 4: And then in specific Trump's policies have worsened economic conditions.

418
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:15,879
Speaker 4: It's now up ten points since the first of the

419
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 4: year to sixty five percent, So two thirds of Americans

420
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 4: think Trump's policy specifically have worsened economic conditions. Those are

421
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 4: not good numbers, and he had unbelievably great numbers his

422
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 4: first term around everything economics. That's what got him reelected. Really,

423
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:34,679
Speaker 4: there's people remembering how great that was.

424
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:38,879
Speaker 2: But as CNN themselves point out, as bad as that,

425
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:42,440
Speaker 2: all that is, the Democrats are doing just as bad.

426
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 2: In all the polling, there is little sign that Democrats

427
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 2: are capitalizing on what Americans see as Trump's shortcomings, writes

428
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:55,680
Speaker 2: their analysis, and CNN with an even broader seventy four

429
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 2: percent of the public saying Democrats in Congress have the

430
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:04,160
Speaker 2: wrong priorities. Four percent of Americans Democrats have the wrong priorities.

431
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:06,720
Speaker 1: That's one of the reason.

432
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:08,560
Speaker 2: I've been so fired up when Trump is either an

433
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 2: idiot or an a hole, pardon me, is.

434
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 1: That the fruit is absolutely ripe to pluck.

435
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 2: From the tree of not losing the House and Senate

436
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:22,879
Speaker 2: in the midterm, of upsetting that tradition because the Democrats

437
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 2: are so nuts and so weak, and the Republicans just

438
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:27,160
Speaker 2: keep scrowing it up.

439
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 4: Democrats are much more likely than Republicans to be unhappy

440
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:34,720
Speaker 4: with their own party. If you want to look at Independence,

441
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 4: who are apparently all the smart people go because you

442
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 4: get more of a sense that these people are actually

443
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 4: thinking about things and making a decision, as opposed to

444
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:48,199
Speaker 4: always going with their party or against the other party,

445
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 4: which I think is probably pretty true.

446
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 1: Oh, I'm sorry who made that characterization.

447
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 4: I think most smart people, when you look at Independence

448
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,159
Speaker 4: and polls, you think that's the crowd that's not going

449
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 4: to always root for their side and root against the

450
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:01,879
Speaker 4: other side.

451
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 2: Okay, I just I think that the way you put

452
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 2: that was a little hurtful toward people who say I'm

453
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 2: a Republican.

454
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 1: Uh, they're not smart people. Okay, that's not what I meant.

455
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,640
Speaker 4: But well, I think in polling though, in fact, you know,

456
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:22,120
Speaker 4: if you look at Trump's approval rating among Republicans, it's

457
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 4: like ninety eight percent or something.

458
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:26,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would I would say it's more interesting to

459
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:32,200
Speaker 1: look at Independence. I don't know if.

460
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:35,200
Speaker 4: You'll learn anything when when if you if you take

461
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:38,200
Speaker 4: an issue, you know, go with the Democrats. You present

462
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 4: an issue to the Democrats and one hundred percent of

463
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 4: the Democrats say it's great what Joe Biden just did

464
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 4: and zero percent of the Republicans.

465
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 1: Do you learn anything from that? I don't. I don't

466
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:46,920
Speaker 1: know if you do well?

467
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:50,119
Speaker 2: No, no, indeed, I'm just my only never mind. I

468
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:51,120
Speaker 2: think I made myself clear.

469
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 4: Independence. Both parties are seen as equally off topic. About

470
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 4: three quarters of independents say that say that each of

471
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:01,680
Speaker 4: the parties have the wrong priorities. So to your point,

472
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 4: say that because it's true to your point, though, the

473
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 4: fruit is right for the picking for some party. If

474
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:09,920
Speaker 4: you got three three quarters of the independence out there

475
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:11,640
Speaker 4: saying I'm not happy, they didn't want to be. If

476
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,639
Speaker 4: one of those parties could break through with a you know,

477
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 4: we're trying to.

478
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 1: Help your lives right, you could make some hay.

479
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 2: If the Democrats could unload their absolutely not you know,

480
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 2: leftward flank, they'd be in great shape. If they became

481
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:32,400
Speaker 2: a party of moderates like rum Manuel and Rui tieshera

482
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:33,119
Speaker 2: trying to get going.

483
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:34,120
Speaker 1: I don't know if you know Ruy.

484
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 2: He's a big time Democrat for a long time and

485
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:38,879
Speaker 2: he writes for the Free Press. But he's had to

486
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 2: shut down his blog now because all of the energy

487
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 2: and all of the money has gone out of moderating

488
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:50,440
Speaker 2: the Democratic Party. That that moment came and went apparently right.

489
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 4: There's one other thing I want to add to this,

490
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,359
Speaker 4: just since she talked about taking back the House, which

491
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 4: is an obsession of a media which normal people just

492
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 4: don't think about. The Sunday talk shows constantly will they

493
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:03,359
Speaker 4: lose the House?

494
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 2: Will so and so when the House? Normal people don't

495
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 2: think about this stuff. Normal people worry about if they'll

496
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 2: lose their house.

497
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:13,359
Speaker 1: Jack, that was just too perfect. I couldn't pass.

498
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:16,879
Speaker 4: It was really good, Thank you, sounds fantastic. But I

499
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 4: wanted to point this out to the whole losing the House.

500
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 4: When the House, and when Trump loses the House, which

501
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 4: he probably will, they'll.

502
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:27,919
Speaker 2: Talk about, oh, what are repute reputed going against everything

503
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:28,920
Speaker 2: that Trump stands for.

504
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:32,399
Speaker 4: And blah blah blah. The twenty ten mid terms, for instance.

505
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:36,719
Speaker 2: Barack Obama, the Great Barack Obama first election after he

506
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 2: was elected president, they.

507
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:46,679
Speaker 1: Lost sixty three House seats, sixty three and six Senate seats.

508
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:49,440
Speaker 1: I'll bet Obama wore out his per mat that night.

509
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, oh my god.

510
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 4: He was just going with back to the fruit analogy,

511
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:58,200
Speaker 4: low hanging fruit today.

512
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 2: This is it's cheap shot at the Armstrong and Kiddy show.

513
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:04,119
Speaker 1: Wow, I don't know what's gotten into me. Back to

514
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 1: you if you.

515
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 4: Wanted to have a grown up conversation about mid terms

516
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:08,880
Speaker 4: and people taking the House.

517
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 2: We're kind of a uh, I don't know, emotionally flighty electorate.

518
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 2: We get all excited about somebody and then within months say,

519
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 2: oh they suck and go completely the other direction, urage

520
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:24,960
Speaker 2: that I just voted for his garbage. No need to

521
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 2: counterbalance them, no matter who it is.

522
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:29,920
Speaker 1: Yea, even Barack Obama, who had.

523
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 2: Endless positive coverage right those first couple of years. I mean,

524
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:38,240
Speaker 2: he had the entire media outside of Fox as a

525
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 2: cheerleading squad, and he looks like watching a couple make

526
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 2: out on a street corner. It was hard to watch

527
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:46,200
Speaker 2: the tongue bath they were given in and they lost

528
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:50,159
Speaker 2: sixty three House seats. They're talking about Trump losing like

529
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 2: a dozen. Yeah, yeah, So just keep that in mind

530
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:55,639
Speaker 2: whenever they get all excited about that stuff.

531
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:00,240
Speaker 4: It is kind of weird that we do that, though,

532
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:02,400
Speaker 4: get all excited about somebody there that's oh my.

533
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 1: God, they've changed everything.

534
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:05,879
Speaker 2: Everything's gonna everything's gonna be different for the rest of

535
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 2: all time now that this party just got the presidency.

536
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:12,160
Speaker 1: And then within months we go completely the other direction.

537
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 2: The Blank Party may never win another election according to

538
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:16,879
Speaker 2: these Democratic triads.

539
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 1: Oh god, again, you can't hate the media enough.

540
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:27,120
Speaker 2: I mean, they're they're they're incurious, they're biased and don't

541
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 2: even know it. They're coddled, they're limp wristed simpletons. They're

542
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:35,399
Speaker 2: just despicable and virtually every way you can.

543
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 4: Think of, well, that's the media. And then to the politicians.

544
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 4: Remember when they get up there in the podium when

545
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 4: your party takes it back, you know, every couple of years,

546
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 4: and they get.

547
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 2: Up there and talk about how a new era has

548
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 2: dawned and blah blah blah blah blah.

549
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 1: Blah, Send me money, send me money. That's what the

550
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:54,960
Speaker 1: going ding ding Yeah, whatever.

551
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 2: Okay, we got the email worked for two hundred and

552
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 2: fifty years. That's not a bad one. We're gonna check

553
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 2: in on the moon mission. See how things are going.

554
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 4: We're gonna check in on the Supreme Court oral arguments

555
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 4: an hour two and we got mail bag next.

556
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 1: Yo, yo, welcome to the show.

557
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 4: Glad you're here. Lots to talk about. That isn't the Warnerran.

558
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 4: But some interesting stuff with the Warnerran.

559
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:23,960
Speaker 1: Yeah.

560
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 2: Speaking of war, let's have a freedom loving quote of

561
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 2: the day. Getting back to our series on the theme

562
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 2: of war. So many interesting ones and good ones. I'm

563
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:35,640
Speaker 2: tempted to go with my favorite of all time from

564
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 2: Winston Churchill, and I can't do it the way he

565
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 2: did it, but or I shouldn't anyway. We shall defend

566
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 2: our island, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight

567
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 2: on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds.

568
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:48,120
Speaker 2: We shall fight in the fields and in the streets.

569
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 2: We shall fight in the hills. We shall never surrender.

570
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 1: Yeah.

571
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 4: And I just learned from a recent book that I

572
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 4: was reading that in personal conversations he believed it was

573
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 4: likely that it was a law lost at that point

574
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 4: when he got elected Prime minister.

575
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 1: It was too late, the proverbial last ditch effort. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

576
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 1: Is that the five days in London that you recommended? Yeah,

577
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:12,600
Speaker 1: it's really good. Yeah, I've got a note to pick

578
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 1: up a copy of that.

579
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 2: By the way, for the emptienth time we've been harassed

580
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 2: to please just post a list of the books you

581
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 2: guys recommend Moby Dick. Start with Moby Dick, read it

582
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 2: four times, then get back to us. Cover to cover mailbag,

583
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 2: drop us a note mail bag at Armstrong and geddy

584
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 2: dot com. I have for now. I was putting mail

585
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 2: bag together. Separated out all of the emails we got

586
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 2: about your frustrating experience at the doctor's office where your

587
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 2: doctor your pa physician's assistant asks you to leave the

588
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:48,200
Speaker 2: room so they can be alone with your son and

589
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 2: find out what's really going on and where that comes

590
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 2: from and people's reaction to it.

591
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:54,320
Speaker 1: Got a ton of email on.

592
00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 4: That, Yeah, got it so from a friend in Tennessee

593
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 4: who said, they don't.

594
00:30:57,280 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 1: Do that here.

595
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:02,320
Speaker 2: No, indeed, they don't do it everywhere in It's a wow.

596
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:06,080
Speaker 2: There are state guidelines, but then it's mostly the individual

597
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 2: practice or hospital or whatever that chooses to adhere to

598
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 2: those our guidelines.

599
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:13,720
Speaker 4: Now I'm really ashamed for going along with it. Oh,

600
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:14,480
Speaker 4: don't be ashamed.

601
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:15,840
Speaker 1: Moving along.

602
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 2: Here is the correspondent's proper nice note from Jerry. Guys

603
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:22,720
Speaker 2: have been a long time listener. Always enjoy your conversations.

604
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:23,200
Speaker 2: Thanks Jerry.

605
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:25,360
Speaker 1: Did you happen to catch the rocket launch today? I

606
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 1: absolutely did.

607
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 2: It immediately brought to mind the Apollo fore mission, So

608
00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 2: Jerry's got a couple of years on us, I guess.

609
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 2: But and the way Walter Cronkite described the Saturn five

610
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 2: lift off, how it shook the building so violently that

611
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 2: he had to hold the glass with his hands to

612
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 2: keep it from falling. It was a moment that captured

613
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 2: just how amazing space flight truly was. This launch carried

614
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:47,240
Speaker 2: some of that same sense of wonder. Some things never

615
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:49,400
Speaker 2: lose their ability to take your breath away. In fact,

616
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 2: I went back and rewatched that Apollo launch on YouTube.

617
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:54,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'd like to see one of the big launches sometime.

618
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 2: It's tough, though, because they get delayed for weather a lot,

619
00:31:56,760 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 2: and like you know, unless you live nearby, Yeah, you

620
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 2: take some vacation days and hope for the best.

621
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:03,960
Speaker 1: I guess. Yeah.

622
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 2: Somebody once explained to me that a rocket launch is

623
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 2: an extremely powerful bomb that goes off, but it all

624
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 2: goes off in one direction.

625
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 1: So the rocket goes up.

626
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:18,080
Speaker 2: And that's a pretty good description of the amount of

627
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:18,960
Speaker 2: energy involved.

628
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 1: But yeah, it was an amazing launch and we wish

629
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:25,160
Speaker 1: the astronauts. Well, let's see.

630
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:27,560
Speaker 2: On the topic of the president's speech, we got a

631
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:31,959
Speaker 2: handful of emails, including this one from Don President Trump's

632
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:34,720
Speaker 2: speech was brilliant, save for one emission. He neglected ad

633
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 2: live from New York. It's Saturday night, April fool would

634
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:40,720
Speaker 2: have worked just as well. PPS to quote the great

635
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:44,520
Speaker 2: bugs Bunny, what a maroon. Not impressed by the President's speech.

636
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:46,360
Speaker 1: I don't know that I was.

637
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:50,479
Speaker 4: I don't know if it accomplished anything, which I assume

638
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:52,320
Speaker 4: you do it to try to accomplish them.

639
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 1: I think it did.

640
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:55,800
Speaker 2: One of the main takeaways was trying to bring a

641
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 2: little perspective to a TikTok world about these things take

642
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 2: a lot little while, so quit with your endless war talk.

643
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:05,640
Speaker 1: After four weeks. I'm guessing.

644
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:08,440
Speaker 4: I'm guessing as to the way people take in media,

645
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:11,200
Speaker 4: and I don't know how many people still wait for

646
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 4: a prime time address to I don't know.

647
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 1: Fair point.

648
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 2: Moving along, JT and Livermore, listen to our Armstrong and

649
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 2: Getting One More Thing podcast yesterday about the New Democratic

650
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 2: Party getting started in Canada, and how hilariously in their

651
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:29,160
Speaker 2: own way they were.

652
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:30,520
Speaker 1: It really is entertaining.

653
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 2: You can go for Armstrong and getting on demand for

654
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 2: April first, or just subscribe to the on demand podcast

655
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:41,800
Speaker 2: and I'm sorry, one more thing automatically downloads. Anyway, he says,

656
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:43,800
Speaker 2: here's my problem with the Canadian political meeting. In the

657
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:48,120
Speaker 2: name of enlightened inclusivity, they're literally creating a new cast

658
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:51,320
Speaker 2: system via their equity cards, in which the person with

659
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 2: the most intersectionality points gets to cut in line and

660
00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:57,840
Speaker 2: speak before others. Quite literally, true friends, And how do

661
00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 2: they use this newfound power. They use their time to

662
00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 2: rail on the lower casts for daring to.

663
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 1: Speak before them.

664
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 2: Remember, these are the self proclaimed compassionate, inclusive people. Yet

665
00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:10,960
Speaker 2: these moral exemplars of inclusivity can't wait to exercise their

666
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:14,840
Speaker 2: newfound privilege over the lower cast. Those who simply support

667
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:17,960
Speaker 2: inclusivity but are straight, cisgender don't get to speak at all.

668
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:20,839
Speaker 2: Talk about a classic oppress or paradigm. New boss, same

669
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 2: as the old boss. You just have to understand though,

670
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:27,000
Speaker 2: if you actually study, you know, the neo Marxists, the postmodernists,

671
00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:29,319
Speaker 2: they do that on purpose. They don't actually mean that

672
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:33,120
Speaker 2: stuff about inclusivity. Inclusivity means more people who believe what

673
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:33,760
Speaker 2: I believe.

674
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:39,000
Speaker 1: Anyway, it's still a good point. And Scott from Pleasant

675
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:39,520
Speaker 1: Hill on the.

676
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:45,359
Speaker 2: Topic of space aliens, Oh jeez, let's see, and whether

677
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:49,439
Speaker 2: we should contact them, he says dark forest theorists, those

678
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:53,360
Speaker 2: are like Stephen Hawking, who believes why would we call out.

679
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:57,000
Speaker 1: Hey, I'm a fat, slow beast here in the dark forest.

680
00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:00,120
Speaker 1: Who else is out there? Perceptions will ooo?

681
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 2: That would be a stupid thing to do. Anyway, Scott

682
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:07,080
Speaker 2: Wright's Dark Forest. Forest theorists would say that aliens monitoring

683
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:09,680
Speaker 2: millions of planets said yesterday, Wow, they're at war on

684
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:12,360
Speaker 2: the surface of their planet, and they continue to desperately

685
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 2: get off the surface to inflict their war into the

686
00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:16,960
Speaker 2: universe enough of this time to exterminate them.

687
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:22,359
Speaker 4: Let's hope that that's not true. Shall we more to come?

688
