WEBVTT - An Ass-teroid If You Will 0:00:07.680 --> 0:00:12.920 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:13.039 --> 0:00:17.680 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Show, Katty Armstrong and 0:00:17.800 --> 0:00:32.920 Decide and Arms Wrong Get It line from studio C 0:00:33.600 --> 0:00:34.479 say you are. 0:00:34.640 --> 0:00:36.720 We are in a dimly lit room deeper than the 0:00:36.760 --> 0:00:39.960 bowels of the Armstrong in Getty Communications Compound, so close 0:00:40.000 --> 0:00:42.360 to the weekend you can smell it, and today we 0:00:42.400 --> 0:00:44.720 are toiling under the title of the show, a. 0:00:44.760 --> 0:00:48.640 Return to bita bitza. We will explain in a moment 0:00:48.680 --> 0:00:51.199 if you're not familiar with that term it goes backaways, 0:00:51.360 --> 0:00:56.320 or if you prefer nice moon. That's what she said, 0:00:57.920 --> 0:01:02.080 she Xi Chairman, we are in a race for the moon. 0:01:02.720 --> 0:01:06.320 I hadn't realized the true significance of it. We will elaborate, Okay, cool. 0:01:06.360 --> 0:01:07.760 We talked a little bit about that yesterday. 0:01:07.800 --> 0:01:11.080 I was complaining that that angle of it was getting 0:01:11.120 --> 0:01:14.200 no coverage. It was, as usual, the identity politics of 0:01:14.240 --> 0:01:17.800 the astronauts as opposed to the strategic reason that we're 0:01:17.800 --> 0:01:19.800 going to the other side of the moon. Well, and 0:01:19.840 --> 0:01:22.280 if the United States is in some sort of contest, 0:01:22.400 --> 0:01:26.240 even with the most evil, oppressive regime on Earth, obviously 0:01:26.360 --> 0:01:29.560 we're the bad guy. According to virtually all of the media, 0:01:29.640 --> 0:01:32.680 so they would never taken us versus them stance. 0:01:33.240 --> 0:01:33.559 Yeah. 0:01:33.560 --> 0:01:37.880 Interesting, I want to hear more about that. Definitely, the 0:01:38.120 --> 0:01:41.000 uh I'm I guess I shouldn't be amazed at this 0:01:41.040 --> 0:01:43.200 point five weeks into the war, four and a half 0:01:43.200 --> 0:01:48.280 weeks into the war, somehow we decided we're going to 0:01:48.360 --> 0:01:52.240 judge the war entirely on gas prices. I don't know 0:01:52.480 --> 0:01:55.480 how that got started, but apparently. I mean, that's every 0:01:55.880 --> 0:02:00.240 media oil jumped after the presidents. It's either a good idea, dear, 0:02:00.360 --> 0:02:03.400 it's not. The price of gas really doesn't have a 0:02:03.400 --> 0:02:06.360 lot to do with it. You know, when I had 0:02:06.360 --> 0:02:11.760 to get my completely ravaged joint replaced, they knocked me unconscious. 0:02:12.600 --> 0:02:17.160 Then they dislocated my leg and it hurt for weeks. No, 0:02:17.320 --> 0:02:18.639 it had to be done. 0:02:18.880 --> 0:02:22.240 Yeah, the interim's painful and uncomfortable, and then the job 0:02:22.320 --> 0:02:25.960 is done. So the way the world works sometimes, God, 0:02:26.000 --> 0:02:28.040 they're so dishonest. You can't hate the media enough. 0:02:28.120 --> 0:02:29.520 Well, you can still be against the war. 0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:31.560 It just doesn't seem like the best angle to me 0:02:31.720 --> 0:02:34.520 is to gas went up okay after the speech, because 0:02:34.720 --> 0:02:36.600 the whole goal apparently is to keep gas at a 0:02:36.600 --> 0:02:41.560 certain price as opposed to keeping Iran from beating a 0:02:41.600 --> 0:02:43.760 nuclear weapon. I came across a couple of things yesterday 0:02:43.800 --> 0:02:48.320 that finally it all made sense. I never understand why 0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:52.639 the Trump White House can't or doesn't communicate these things 0:02:52.639 --> 0:02:57.680 more clearly. What's going on? But around all the rockets? 0:02:57.680 --> 0:03:00.600 Why we got to take out the rocket capability? 0:03:00.600 --> 0:03:01.600 And why that why? 0:03:01.639 --> 0:03:03.600 Marco Rubio said the other day the war ends when 0:03:03.600 --> 0:03:06.639 we've taken out the rocket capability. Everybody's like, what, Well, 0:03:06.680 --> 0:03:08.120 it makes sense to me now, so maybe we can 0:03:08.160 --> 0:03:09.640 get to that little later on a couple of our 0:03:09.680 --> 0:03:12.520 different articles I read. So we got lots to talk 0:03:12.560 --> 0:03:16.680 about today. How's the Moon mission going? I heard about 0:03:16.680 --> 0:03:19.440 the floaters? Did you hear about the floaters? I don't 0:03:19.480 --> 0:03:22.120 know about the floaters. Oh, it's a little gross, Adie, 0:03:22.120 --> 0:03:23.760 are prepared for gross to start the show? 0:03:23.919 --> 0:03:24.400 Dang it? 0:03:24.520 --> 0:03:27.760 What else is now into the sore already? The show 0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:31.760 just started. Well, it's the only problem reported on the 0:03:31.800 --> 0:03:34.200 space launch so far. They some sort of problem with 0:03:34.240 --> 0:03:38.920 the fan in the bathroom, which apparently h OH keeps 0:03:38.960 --> 0:03:42.120 the defecate in the bag and from floating around the 0:03:42.240 --> 0:03:44.920 space capsule. So they had to fix that, because if 0:03:44.960 --> 0:03:48.680 you don't want that, if you go number two in space, 0:03:48.720 --> 0:03:55.280 it just floats off on you apparently, which makes sense perfect, definitely, Yeah, yeah, 0:03:55.720 --> 0:03:59.840 to capture it. Yeah, it's not your standard bathroom. It's lovely, 0:04:00.080 --> 0:04:04.240 that is. It's uh yeah, it draws the deficate, is 0:04:04.320 --> 0:04:08.920 you so delicately and sophisticatedly put? It draws the deficate 0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:11.520 into the storage unit. 0:04:12.040 --> 0:04:17.080 Right, because otherwise, again it's just kind of floating kaka 0:04:17.720 --> 0:04:18.440 good exactly. 0:04:18.640 --> 0:04:20.120 Well, I'm glad they got that figured out. 0:04:21.120 --> 0:04:22.360 An asteroid if you. 0:04:22.320 --> 0:04:28.640 Will, Hey, folks, I get paid for this. 0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:29.320 Excellent. 0:04:34.040 --> 0:04:36.080 My kids were younger, I would tell them that joke, 0:04:36.080 --> 0:04:37.680 but I'm afraid they're too old for it. 0:04:39.360 --> 0:04:44.599 Oh boy, I'd like to apologize. You should No, you 0:04:44.640 --> 0:04:45.039 should not. 0:04:46.920 --> 0:04:47.680 Oh where were we? 0:04:47.800 --> 0:04:48.000 You know? 0:04:48.040 --> 0:04:51.080 We could start to show officially a little bit sure early. 0:04:51.279 --> 0:04:56.119 That seems like a good idea, especially executive producer Hansen says, 0:04:56.160 --> 0:04:58.920 Floating Deficate is the name of my new free form 0:04:59.040 --> 0:04:59.919 dark metal band. 0:05:01.360 --> 0:05:02.960 I'd go to your show, yeah, just as party. 0:05:03.240 --> 0:05:05.440 That's interesting problem to have right off the bat, though, 0:05:06.040 --> 0:05:08.560 I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe Getty on this. It is 0:05:08.680 --> 0:05:11.800 a Thursday April second year, twenty twenty six, Armstrong and 0:05:11.839 --> 0:05:13.360 getting we approved this program. 0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:17.120 Let's commence then officially according to FCCU rules and regulations 0:05:17.120 --> 0:05:19.680 and explain the bit of bitsa reference at mark. 0:05:19.760 --> 0:05:22.760 We're going to hit them extremely hard over the next 0:05:22.800 --> 0:05:26.360 two to three weeks. We're going to bring them back 0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:28.520 to the Stone Ages where they belong. 0:05:29.600 --> 0:05:33.039 There you go in the wake of nine to eleven. 0:05:33.279 --> 0:05:36.479 The phrase bummed them back to the Stone Age was 0:05:36.640 --> 0:05:40.280 so common we just came up with the abbreviation bit 0:05:40.320 --> 0:05:42.880 of BITSA. I guess it's an acronym, isn't it. 0:05:43.960 --> 0:05:49.040 So Oil jumps almost immediately during Trump's speech last night, 0:05:49.040 --> 0:05:51.719 I guess as soon as the market's got the inkling 0:05:51.760 --> 0:05:55.359 that he wasn't going to announce basically that it was 0:05:55.480 --> 0:05:58.240 over markets. Perhaps he was going to come out and 0:05:58.279 --> 0:06:02.680 say we have won the we will be ending operations 0:06:02.680 --> 0:06:05.120 within the next He did not. You went risk to 0:06:05.160 --> 0:06:07.320 settlement with the new leaders. That would have been lovely. 0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:09.080 We are going to bomb them back to the Stone 0:06:09.120 --> 0:06:11.440 Age if they don't come around, which is an indication 0:06:11.560 --> 0:06:12.280 this could go on. 0:06:12.400 --> 0:06:13.400 For a while. 0:06:13.680 --> 0:06:16.919 I have been taking in more information on this whole project. 0:06:17.000 --> 0:06:18.640 Wall Street Journal has got a good article on it. 0:06:19.760 --> 0:06:23.440 To go in there and grab the enriched uranium and 0:06:23.440 --> 0:06:26.039 get it out of there, that would be one of 0:06:26.080 --> 0:06:32.840 the all time most difficult military maneuvers of my lifetime. 0:06:34.320 --> 0:06:35.480 Has everybody thought. 0:06:35.200 --> 0:06:38.400 This completely through to what it would take here, This 0:06:38.440 --> 0:06:40.000 is what I asked last week when we were talking 0:06:40.000 --> 0:06:42.640 to my clients. Wouldn't you need to like secure an 0:06:42.680 --> 0:06:46.040 incredibly large area for like a month and bring in bulldozer. 0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:49.119 Yes, you would have to do all that sort of stuff. Yeah, 0:06:49.200 --> 0:06:49.880 it would take a. 0:06:49.839 --> 0:06:52.240 Lot of people, and you'd just be a such a 0:06:52.279 --> 0:06:55.760 sitting duck target. And then the transportation of the stuff, 0:06:55.760 --> 0:06:58.040 they'd have to bring in trucks. Where are the truck's 0:06:58.040 --> 0:06:59.359 gonna drive to exactly? 0:07:00.640 --> 0:07:00.839 Yeah? 0:07:00.920 --> 0:07:02.520 How vulnerable would they be? Good? 0:07:02.600 --> 0:07:05.320 Gracious the border with a rack it's a little more 0:07:05.320 --> 0:07:08.240 friendly or Saudi Arabia I guess I don't know, but uh, 0:07:10.120 --> 0:07:13.480 it very well might be one hundred percent necessary to 0:07:13.520 --> 0:07:15.680 do to get that enriched. Your enemy can't just have 0:07:15.760 --> 0:07:18.800 it floating around like space defecate. 0:07:18.960 --> 0:07:21.880 Right, and it's going to be Although one of the 0:07:22.000 --> 0:07:24.520 takeaways from the speech last night was that Trump didn't 0:07:24.560 --> 0:07:28.360 state this, you know, just in black and white. But 0:07:28.400 --> 0:07:31.960 he hinted heavily that no, that's all. The uranium is 0:07:32.000 --> 0:07:35.000 buried under tons of rubble. It would take them ages 0:07:35.040 --> 0:07:37.080 to get it out and use it. We're going to 0:07:37.160 --> 0:07:40.200 keep an eye on it, suggesting that no, we're not 0:07:40.280 --> 0:07:41.000 going to go get it. 0:07:41.000 --> 0:07:43.040 According to the Wall Street Journal, he's the one that 0:07:43.120 --> 0:07:45.520 suggested a project to get it out of there. So 0:07:46.240 --> 0:07:51.720 maybe he's been convinced by the military that is practically undoable. Perhaps, 0:07:52.040 --> 0:07:54.360 I hope so it sounds like a and well, I 0:07:54.760 --> 0:07:57.080 hope what he's saying is true, because I don't want 0:07:57.840 --> 0:07:59.320 the world to be able to get their hands on 0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:02.120 a whole bunch to uranium that has been enriched. 0:08:02.120 --> 0:08:04.440 But if it's buried under gazillion pounds of. 0:08:04.440 --> 0:08:08.679 Rocks, no it ain't going anywhere, right, right, And life, 0:08:09.200 --> 0:08:11.800 as well as presidencies, are full of things that sound 0:08:11.840 --> 0:08:15.760 like good ideas until you learn exactly what's involved. 0:08:15.800 --> 0:08:17.360 I brought into a few of those in my life. 0:08:17.560 --> 0:08:23.640 Oh lord, yes, my alpack of farm for instance. Oh yeah, 0:08:23.720 --> 0:08:25.680 your out pack of farm. Us talk about that all 0:08:25.720 --> 0:08:26.080 the time. 0:08:26.520 --> 0:08:29.559 Oh my gosh, I bought three hundred hat. I thought, 0:08:29.680 --> 0:08:32.800 go big or go home, right, terrible mistake. Right, he 0:08:32.880 --> 0:08:36.760 got in early, got out late. Why I bought high 0:08:36.800 --> 0:08:39.439 and sold low. It was terrible. 0:08:39.520 --> 0:08:41.880 And you still have what three al packs in every 0:08:41.920 --> 0:08:44.160 bedroom still waiting find them good homes. 0:08:44.480 --> 0:08:47.360 Yeah, free, free, I'll give you a hundred bucks whatever. 0:08:47.559 --> 0:08:52.240 Just please take my alpacas. They're getting old now. Their 0:08:52.320 --> 0:08:56.079 vet bills are even worse. Okay, speaking of defect stop 0:08:56.120 --> 0:08:59.120 Scott Katie's headlines coming up next. You want to comment 0:08:59.160 --> 0:09:02.040 on anything, text line in four KFTC. 0:09:07.200 --> 0:09:11.080 How y'all do it? Good? Glad? Eric nice? 0:09:11.640 --> 0:09:14.200 Good Friday tomorrow. My son who goes to a private 0:09:14.240 --> 0:09:18.000 Christian school has the day off because they treat it 0:09:18.080 --> 0:09:20.600 like it's something there. I remember when we when when 0:09:20.640 --> 0:09:22.880 we worked in Charlotte, North Carolina, it was a very 0:09:23.000 --> 0:09:26.360 very I mean it was it was people didn't work, 0:09:26.559 --> 0:09:28.080 people went to church, people, the whole thing. 0:09:28.120 --> 0:09:32.360 And then you live in godless California. Right, it's still 0:09:32.559 --> 0:09:35.880 in the same way because it's exploded in size. I 0:09:35.880 --> 0:09:38.640 don't know about Charlotte. When I mentioned the rural areas 0:09:38.679 --> 0:09:42.160 certainly are oh yeah, absolutely true. Yeah, yeah, they are 0:09:42.240 --> 0:09:45.280 not godless in that part of the country where Jennifer 0:09:45.360 --> 0:09:48.040 Seebel Newsom takes her children to see the horrors of 0:09:48.160 --> 0:09:53.360 racism and bigotry and misogyny and who knows what else. Actually, 0:09:53.440 --> 0:09:55.200 if you missed this, she took her kids on a 0:09:55.240 --> 0:09:57.680 tour of the Red States of America so they could 0:09:57.679 --> 0:09:59.640 see the horrors like it. 0:09:59.559 --> 0:10:03.280 Was a Republican zoo, right zoo. 0:10:03.960 --> 0:10:07.120 She's hilarious. Oh the gift that just keeps giving. All right, 0:10:07.360 --> 0:10:09.640 so much going on. Let's figure out who's reporting what. 0:10:09.640 --> 0:10:12.000 It's the lead story with Katie Green and Katie also 0:10:12.080 --> 0:10:12.680 fun fact. 0:10:13.200 --> 0:10:14.520 I was born on a good Friday? 0:10:14.760 --> 0:10:17.280 Were really I was? Look at you? Well, it was 0:10:17.320 --> 0:10:18.760 an extra good Friday that day. 0:10:19.800 --> 0:10:21.840 All right, let's go to the alphabet networks. 0:10:21.920 --> 0:10:24.120 NBC. Trump makes his case for. 0:10:24.120 --> 0:10:27.560 Iran war, saying you will and shortly, but more strikes 0:10:27.559 --> 0:10:28.000 are ahead. 0:10:28.240 --> 0:10:30.280 Wall Street Journal by the way, gave this speech a 0:10:30.400 --> 0:10:31.200 very high grade. 0:10:31.280 --> 0:10:32.000 CNN gave it. 0:10:32.000 --> 0:10:34.800 An fly depends on how you look at it. 0:10:35.720 --> 0:10:39.800 ABC US Embassy tells Americans to leave Iraq and cites 0:10:39.880 --> 0:10:44.079 terror threats, and CNN oil prices surge on Trump's vow 0:10:44.120 --> 0:10:46.560 to hit Iran quote extremely hard. 0:10:46.800 --> 0:10:48.960 I would just say briefly on the speech, I'm not 0:10:49.320 --> 0:10:52.960 sure those things matter that much anymore. It's not like 0:10:53.000 --> 0:10:56.680 the old days if everybody waits around for the president 0:10:56.760 --> 0:10:59.520 to give a primetime speech and otherwise doesn't hear anything. 0:11:00.160 --> 0:11:02.160 I mean, we get a drumbeat of Trump talking every 0:11:02.160 --> 0:11:05.200 single day. It was just another hymn talking. I don't 0:11:05.679 --> 0:11:07.440 know why it would matter that much. 0:11:07.920 --> 0:11:13.360 Well, I think the material mattered, or it could have 0:11:13.400 --> 0:11:15.079 mattered a lot more than it did, just because the 0:11:15.120 --> 0:11:17.360 message last night is we're going to keep doing what 0:11:17.400 --> 0:11:20.720 we're doing, and everybody was looking for some pivot point. 0:11:22.440 --> 0:11:24.480 Okay, well, do you want to bet abage to whether 0:11:24.559 --> 0:11:26.400 or not he says something today that. 0:11:28.280 --> 0:11:30.640 Makes you wonder why he said what he said last night. 0:11:30.920 --> 0:11:32.360 Oh no, that's one hundred percent true. 0:11:32.400 --> 0:11:35.080 What you said is one hundred percent true unless he 0:11:35.120 --> 0:11:37.080 had a major pivot point announcement to make. 0:11:38.120 --> 0:11:39.720 That's a better way to statement. 0:11:41.080 --> 0:11:45.079 From the New York Times, Key justices appear skeptical of 0:11:45.400 --> 0:11:47.760 limiting birthright citizenship. 0:11:49.360 --> 0:11:52.760 I have a feeling can be disappointed by this decision. Yeah, 0:11:52.840 --> 0:11:53.120 me too. 0:11:53.120 --> 0:11:54.840 We're going to talk to one of our friends from 0:11:54.880 --> 0:11:57.640 the Pacific Legal Foundation about what he thought of the 0:11:57.760 --> 0:12:04.040 oral arguments and little tea leafreedom from Reuters. 0:12:05.040 --> 0:12:12.479 Russia plans to send second ship with oil to Cuba. 0:12:13.960 --> 0:12:16.640 So we're trying to strangle Cuba unless it makes oil 0:12:16.679 --> 0:12:19.559 too expensive, or it makes them fall before we're ready 0:12:19.600 --> 0:12:20.880 to deal with it, or something. 0:12:21.760 --> 0:12:23.040 It seems to be the case. 0:12:25.640 --> 0:12:30.800 From the Wall Street Journal, US lifts sanctions on Venezuela's leader, 0:12:31.080 --> 0:12:32.840 opening the door to deals. 0:12:36.760 --> 0:12:40.720 That's an evolving situation, clearly. It's the weird relationship we 0:12:40.800 --> 0:12:43.080 have now with the new dictators is somewhat. 0:12:42.800 --> 0:12:45.920 Troubling, but they go wait and see attitude. 0:12:46.720 --> 0:12:48.200 From the Chicago Tribune. 0:12:49.000 --> 0:12:54.960 Universities pressured to strip names of Epstein associates from campus buildings. 0:12:55.240 --> 0:12:59.200 I like that headline Epstein Associates. So what does that mean? 0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:02.720 Is that just your name showed up somewhere in an email? 0:13:03.600 --> 0:13:09.720 And these universities that are lousy with communists and America haters. Please, 0:13:11.160 --> 0:13:13.439 you're going to cleanse yourself with the evildoers, are you? 0:13:13.600 --> 0:13:15.199 That's cute? 0:13:16.679 --> 0:13:21.480 From the New York Post, Red Lobster to revive a 0:13:21.600 --> 0:13:24.080 disastrous endless shrimp deal. 0:13:25.120 --> 0:13:28.040 Really, I thought that's what forced them into bankruptcy. 0:13:28.080 --> 0:13:30.000 That is what forced them into bankruptcy. 0:13:30.320 --> 0:13:31.840 They're bringing back the endless shrimp. 0:13:32.040 --> 0:13:34.640 Apparently they will be rolling it out on like a 0:13:34.760 --> 0:13:38.240 month to month basis, so like it'll be a promotion. 0:13:38.000 --> 0:13:40.040 Okay than like in all the time sort of thing. 0:13:40.480 --> 0:13:42.800 Right, And they're also hoping to put more of their 0:13:42.840 --> 0:13:44.079 products into stores. 0:13:44.440 --> 0:13:48.400 Okay, I can buy in retail red Lobster branded products. 0:13:48.640 --> 0:13:51.040 Yeah, I know, like right now, you can buy the 0:13:51.040 --> 0:13:52.599 their biscuit mix. M. 0:13:53.960 --> 0:13:55.760 The biscuits are pretty good. The bestcits are good. 0:13:57.320 --> 0:13:58.080 Studdy vines. 0:13:58.920 --> 0:14:03.080 Thinking positively about getting older may shape how you age. 0:14:03.600 --> 0:14:08.080 I'll be darned. Attitude matters who knew that's stupid? Shut 0:14:08.160 --> 0:14:11.080 up breaking this? Yeah, no kidding. 0:14:12.240 --> 0:14:14.360 And finally from the Babylon b. 0:14:16.160 --> 0:14:20.080 Christy No asks her husband if there's anything he needs 0:14:20.120 --> 0:14:21.160 to get off his chest. 0:14:24.400 --> 0:14:28.080 Oh, simple, but delightful. Well done, Seth and Crew. 0:14:28.400 --> 0:14:31.000 So Mark Hawpern, who has a lot of sources in Washington, 0:14:31.080 --> 0:14:34.440 d C, said there is a lot more shocking stuff 0:14:34.480 --> 0:14:36.520 to come on that story. 0:14:36.880 --> 0:14:40.440 Oh, I can't imagine what it's going to be. 0:14:42.360 --> 0:14:47.000 Credit where it's due to JT from Livermore, who pointed 0:14:47.000 --> 0:14:49.680 out that the story is probably more significant than it 0:14:49.680 --> 0:14:53.480 seems because of the blackmail threat Yeah, of a cabinet official, 0:14:53.600 --> 0:14:58.000 and then more importantly, speculated did she shoot the dog 0:14:58.120 --> 0:14:59.280 because he knew too much? 0:15:01.680 --> 0:15:05.600 I heard somebody say, did the dog shoot himself to 0:15:05.680 --> 0:15:09.840 get out of the family? Oh? Too dark? Too dark? 0:15:09.960 --> 0:15:13.080 I like it. Yeah. 0:15:13.120 --> 0:15:16.080 The whole security risk thing is damned interesting because she 0:15:16.320 --> 0:15:20.280 was the secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, and 0:15:20.560 --> 0:15:22.880 any sort of terrorist group or anything like that that's 0:15:22.920 --> 0:15:25.720 got any sort of black maleble material on her. 0:15:25.680 --> 0:15:30.160 Husband that could have been a big deal. How did 0:15:30.360 --> 0:15:34.440 How did I assume they do the most thurrough of 0:15:34.600 --> 0:15:37.480 background check on you when you're gonna be the DHS 0:15:37.520 --> 0:15:40.680 secretary because I just assume you have the absolute top 0:15:40.720 --> 0:15:45.080 clearance that exists. But who's they in this scenario the Senate? 0:15:45.160 --> 0:15:47.720 I guess whoever does the background checks? I think the 0:15:47.800 --> 0:15:49.720 FBI does the background checks. Didn't we learn that through 0:15:49.760 --> 0:15:50.840 all this? Right? 0:15:50.880 --> 0:15:53.120 But in service to the president? Right? 0:15:54.440 --> 0:15:57.120 So if Trump says it, I don't care if her 0:15:57.200 --> 0:16:01.320 husband wears big fake boob, since pays five dollars a 0:16:01.560 --> 0:16:05.680 minute to pro skanks to talk to them. 0:16:05.720 --> 0:16:08.560 But there's no news that Trump was Noe knew that 0:16:08.640 --> 0:16:10.800 and said that's okay, right, you just no. 0:16:10.880 --> 0:16:14.000 I'm just saying, even if the FBI uncovered something kinky 0:16:14.120 --> 0:16:16.520 like that. The president could still say, Okay, great, I 0:16:16.560 --> 0:16:19.800 still honor. I guess you wouldn't though you wouldn't think so. 0:16:20.000 --> 0:16:22.240 No, no, no, But that is that is a very 0:16:22.280 --> 0:16:25.440 blackmailable situation. I mean, that's way beyond having an affair 0:16:25.520 --> 0:16:29.760 or something like that. Uh, you could have gotten to 0:16:29.840 --> 0:16:31.480 him and put him in a position where, hey, I 0:16:31.520 --> 0:16:33.200 need you to kind of go take a look at 0:16:33.200 --> 0:16:34.040 your wife's phone and. 0:16:34.000 --> 0:16:35.560 See who she talked to today or something. 0:16:36.120 --> 0:16:38.400 Ron he's thinking, yeah, I don't really want the world 0:16:38.400 --> 0:16:41.400 to know about my whole bimblification finish, And. 0:16:41.360 --> 0:16:43.760 They're not asking me to go more than like half 0:16:43.760 --> 0:16:46.000 an inch over the line, right, And that's the way 0:16:46.040 --> 0:16:48.560 they get you. Yeah, once you're half an inch over 0:16:48.560 --> 0:16:50.600 the line, they say, oh, we've got proof you went 0:16:50.680 --> 0:16:52.880 over the line and we could have you arrested. 0:16:52.920 --> 0:16:53.840 So we need you to do. 0:16:53.760 --> 0:16:56.320 This now, oh something to get off her chest. And 0:16:56.360 --> 0:16:58.600 he had the big giant okay, now I get it. 0:16:58.720 --> 0:17:02.880 Oh boy, Michael Traumas to Armstrong a picture. 0:17:04.520 --> 0:17:04.760 Wow. 0:17:05.480 --> 0:17:08.880 If there's some more more shocking stuff to come out 0:17:08.920 --> 0:17:11.520 on that, I'm having trouble even imagining what it would be. 0:17:11.800 --> 0:17:14.359 But okay, we got more news of the day coming up. 0:17:14.359 --> 0:17:16.720 If you missed a segment, get the podcast Armstrong and Getty. 0:17:16.440 --> 0:17:19.639 On demand Armstrong and Getty. 0:17:21.000 --> 0:17:24.120 Thanks to the progress we've made, I can say tonight 0:17:24.160 --> 0:17:27.280 that we are on track to complete all of America's 0:17:27.320 --> 0:17:32.240 military objectives shortly, very shortly. We're going to hit them 0:17:32.440 --> 0:17:35.920 extremely hard over the next two to three weeks. We're 0:17:35.960 --> 0:17:39.160 going to bring them back to the Stone ages where 0:17:39.160 --> 0:17:44.000 they belong. In the meantime, discussions are ongoing. Regime change 0:17:44.240 --> 0:17:47.320 was not our goal. We never said regime change, but 0:17:47.440 --> 0:17:48.720 regime change. 0:17:48.800 --> 0:17:51.160 Has occurred because of all. 0:17:51.040 --> 0:17:54.480 Of their original leader's deaths. 0:17:54.760 --> 0:18:00.360 They're all dead, possibly replaced by people that are every 0:18:00.359 --> 0:18:01.960 bit as hardline or even more so. 0:18:01.960 --> 0:18:02.800 So. It's hard to tell. 0:18:02.800 --> 0:18:05.600 Man, I was listening to somebody who clearly had more 0:18:05.640 --> 0:18:08.200 information on this than me yesterday talk about how there 0:18:08.240 --> 0:18:14.840 is a battle going on between the revolutionary Guard, who 0:18:14.840 --> 0:18:20.320 are bloodthirsty warlord businessmen more than anything else, and the 0:18:20.560 --> 0:18:25.359 religious zealots, and who you're hearing from on a regular basis, 0:18:25.440 --> 0:18:29.960 when you hear Iran said varies, and that's why it 0:18:30.040 --> 0:18:32.640 seems kind of all over the place, and maybe why 0:18:32.680 --> 0:18:35.480 Trump's responses seem all over the place because you're responding 0:18:35.480 --> 0:18:36.560 to two different factions. 0:18:37.400 --> 0:18:41.040 What a situation, who do you pick in that fight? 0:18:41.200 --> 0:18:44.560 And this particular pundit and I thought this was damn interesting, said, 0:18:46.240 --> 0:18:48.399 Iran might not be able to open. 0:18:48.119 --> 0:18:49.119 The strait of horror moves. 0:18:49.200 --> 0:18:52.400 I mean, if one of those groups makes a deal 0:18:52.440 --> 0:18:56.040 with Trump that the other group doesn't like, they might 0:18:56.119 --> 0:18:58.720 keep the straight of horror moves closed to try to 0:18:59.200 --> 0:19:03.040 end up being deep power in Iran. Right, So just 0:19:03.119 --> 0:19:08.919 their internal battle which could turn into an actual open 0:19:09.000 --> 0:19:11.480 bullets flying internal battle at some point. 0:19:12.400 --> 0:19:12.880 Interesting. 0:19:14.240 --> 0:19:17.400 But to the price of gas thing, which we'll talk 0:19:17.400 --> 0:19:19.919 more about later. In the price of oil thing, I was 0:19:19.920 --> 0:19:22.320 reading a piece by Mark Penn. If you don't know 0:19:22.359 --> 0:19:25.200 his name, he was Hillary's campaign manager back in two 0:19:25.240 --> 0:19:28.000 thousand and eight. He's a big time Democrat strategist polster 0:19:28.400 --> 0:19:31.879 back when Democrats were like, you know, left but normal, 0:19:32.640 --> 0:19:34.480 which that boat sailed a long time ago. 0:19:34.720 --> 0:19:36.160 But anyway, he had an article in the New York Post. 0:19:36.200 --> 0:19:38.439 I'll read about it later about how Gus was this 0:19:38.520 --> 0:19:41.600 high under Obama for like three weeks during this period 0:19:41.640 --> 0:19:44.080 and nobody said a word and blah blah blah, and 0:19:44.280 --> 0:19:46.280 how we can't be basing the war around the price 0:19:46.280 --> 0:19:46.919 of oil. 0:19:46.680 --> 0:19:48.280 And all the sort of thing that we were just 0:19:48.280 --> 0:19:49.200 saying not long ago. 0:19:49.280 --> 0:19:52.720 So I thought that was interesting from a Democrat speaking 0:19:52.760 --> 0:19:56.480 of the Democrats. This polling came out yesterday. Who was 0:19:56.640 --> 0:20:00.520 this polling? It was at CNN, I think as CNN Politics, 0:20:00.960 --> 0:20:03.480 and it fits in with most other polls. This is 0:20:03.520 --> 0:20:05.560 not an outlier. It's kind of confirming other poles that 0:20:05.560 --> 0:20:08.200 are out there. Trump's numbers are down in a whole 0:20:08.240 --> 0:20:11.880 bunch of different areas. There will be polls coming out 0:20:12.000 --> 0:20:14.639 soon where he's in the twenties. They would be outliers 0:20:14.640 --> 0:20:16.959 at this point, but you know that'll get a lot 0:20:17.000 --> 0:20:18.960 of attention the first one that has him at twenty 0:20:19.040 --> 0:20:23.159 nine percent, because that's damnlow his approval rating handling of 0:20:23.200 --> 0:20:26.920 his presidency. And this is since January of this year. 0:20:27.320 --> 0:20:30.520 We just ended March, so basically how the first quarter 0:20:30.600 --> 0:20:33.000 go for the president. He went from thirty nine percent 0:20:33.000 --> 0:20:37.639 approval to thirty five percent approval. His handling of the 0:20:37.680 --> 0:20:40.840 economy is down eight points since January, and it wasn't 0:20:40.880 --> 0:20:44.160 that high to start with. From thirty nine to thirty one, 0:20:44.280 --> 0:20:47.240 you're almost in the twenties. On your handling of the economy. 0:20:48.240 --> 0:20:50.840 I was just reading some stuff fight Who was it, 0:20:51.800 --> 0:20:53.080 Phil Graham? I think. 0:20:54.520 --> 0:20:57.920 The old timey senator, an economist and moderate, who was 0:20:58.000 --> 0:21:01.400 talking about how the terriff have been so bad for 0:21:01.520 --> 0:21:04.720 American business, specifically manufacturers, because all of their inputs have 0:21:04.720 --> 0:21:09.440 gotten so much more expensive they can't compete. And so, yeah, 0:21:09.560 --> 0:21:14.520 I've been shocked at how not focused on the economy 0:21:14.600 --> 0:21:16.600 the second Trump uh go around sight. 0:21:16.560 --> 0:21:21.240
