We are your go 4 00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:30,120 Speaker 1: big option for intermation on a Thursday, Jo. More on 5 00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:34,279 Speaker 1: that coming up live from Studio C same signor you're 6 00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:37,879 Speaker 1: sitting in a dimly lit room deeper them the bowels, 7 00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:42,239 Speaker 1: surrounded by Patriot missiles, the Armstrong Ngetty Communications Compound and 8 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:45,440 Speaker 1: today we're toiling under the title of the show, Trump's 9 00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:48,680 Speaker 1: strategy of trying to defeat Duran with his mouth fails, 10 00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:52,839 Speaker 1: or if you prefer, there will never be justice for 11 00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:56,480 Speaker 1: the crimes of COVID. We must accept it. Yeah, it's 12 00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:59,959 Speaker 1: definitely where I am trying very hard. I hate it. 13 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:06,160 Speaker 1: I boil with energy trying to somehow move the ball 14 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:09,959 Speaker 1: and inch forward to get people to admit the truth 15 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:13,600 Speaker 1: of what happened. And I need to accept that's not 16 00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:19,200 Speaker 1: going to happen because of Trump arrangement syndrome. And people 17 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 1: can't be convinced to confess that they were wrong. It's 18 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,120 Speaker 1: just a part of human nature. So the best we 19 00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:28,760 Speaker 1: can hope for is those of us who have heard 20 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 1: the truth were prepared for the next time. If there 21 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 1: is an X time or something similar, it's the best 22 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,200 Speaker 1: we can hope for. So my mention of the go 23 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 1: big option. 24 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,360 Speaker 2: Wall Street Joureral reporting today that Donald Trump has been 25 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:47,200 Speaker 2: presented with a go big option by the Pentagon would 26 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 2: be a two week heavy bombing campaign that would basically 27 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 2: eliminate RAN's rocket missile capability. Lots and lots of crazy 28 00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 2: heavy bombing on lots and lots of sites. 29 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 1: Go big. Based on his recent actions, I doubt he's 30 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 1: going to take that advice. 31 00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 2: Oh no, By the way, Egypt got hit yesterday, so 32 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,240 Speaker 2: brand new country that previously had not been hit in 33 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 2: this war, expanding across the water there into North Africa. 34 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 2: In a related story, Notice I put that question mark 35 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:25,239 Speaker 2: in there. I Did's a prerofessional broadcaster, right there. I 36 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 2: picked up on your verbal question mark. Don't try this 37 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 2: at home. A Russian missile sploated in Poland pra almost 38 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:41,079 Speaker 2: certainly unintentional, accidentally accidental, but the Poles are not amused, 39 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:48,239 Speaker 2: and so you've got NATO ratcheting up its alert status 40 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,959 Speaker 2: a bit. One of our best allies is pissed off. 41 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 2: At Russia as Russia is attacking Ukraine, and Iran is 42 00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 2: helping Russia, and Shine is helping Iran target our guys. 43 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 1: Plus sing Boy. 44 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 2: Plus China is sending those four hundred shoulder fired fired 45 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 2: missiles to bring down our aircraft that they're denying, of course, 46 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 2: but that's being reported in a number of places. 47 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,920 Speaker 1: Don't trust China. See I saved you the trouble, Michael. 48 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 1: That's very exciting. Yeah, like exciting is one word for it. Yes, 49 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 1: it's a strictly speaking yes, that is exciting. I have 50 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 1: been excited by it, agitated, made alert. News that just 51 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 1: broke before we came on. 52 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 2: US economic growth slowed to one point five percent in 53 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 2: the second quarter. One point five percent is not the 54 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,560 Speaker 2: sort of growth you're looking for in your economy. 55 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 1: About my growth in the second quarter too, thanks to 56 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 1: that cruise we took almost usually hopefully for what around 57 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 1: four percent would be really really wonderful. If you grew 58 00:03:55,840 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 1: at four percent, Yeah, certainly you'd hope for three annualized, 59 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 1: but we're at one something. We'll get into that story 60 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 1: a little bit later. 61 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:15,839 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm pretty despondent about the whole Fauci thing. I 62 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,479 Speaker 2: as you were listening yesterday, I was predicting to be 63 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 2: despondent today. My expectations were met by mainstream media and 64 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,160 Speaker 2: certainly lefty media that just treated this as a just 65 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 2: a ridiculous stunt trial by the Republicans. 66 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 1: What is their deal? 67 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 2: The main theme on MSNBC this morning when I watched 68 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 2: it with Morning Joe is so tell me did they 69 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 2: get around to admitting that Donald Trump handled the pandemic 70 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,920 Speaker 2: so poorly animated? All about Donald Trump's handling of the pandemic, 71 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 2: which you can talk about if you want that at topic, 72 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 2: That's not what the topic was yesterday. And the revelation 73 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:03,719 Speaker 2: of Fauci's diaries to me, bring up some pretty obvious 74 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 2: easy points of discussion that have nothing to do with Trump. Sure, 75 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 2: but I labored late into the night last night preparing 76 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 2: a devastating indictment of doctor Fauci. It will be fairly brief, 77 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:19,600 Speaker 2: well organized. 78 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,599 Speaker 1: You will probably want to record it, transcribe it, and 79 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 1: have it handy for future arguments at Thanksgiving tables, that 80 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 1: sort of thing. Anyway, we'll get to that a little 81 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 1: bit later on. It is absolutely unquestionable that he is 82 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,560 Speaker 1: He is a villain, absolutely a villain. It's got to 83 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 1: be kind of nice on the left. I'm a little jealous, 84 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 1: honestly that no matter what the problem is, COVID was mishandled, 85 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:52,680 Speaker 1: you blame Trump. Homelessness grows in La Karen bass Nitsiuraman 86 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,920 Speaker 1: the communist. They're all blaming Trump for it. My kid 87 00:05:55,960 --> 00:06:00,479 Speaker 1: doesn't make the junior high basketball team. Blame Trump. I 88 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,039 Speaker 1: gained a few pounds. Blamed Trump. It must be. It 89 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 1: must be, you know, reassuring. 90 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:07,919 Speaker 2: If I was Anthony Fauci, it'd be pretty easy for 91 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 2: me to have ended the day yesterday and looked around 92 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,919 Speaker 2: at the media landscape and thought, who I escaped. 93 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 1: I'm in pretty good shape. 94 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:18,599 Speaker 2: Ye dodged, and you know, just believed their version of 95 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:20,599 Speaker 2: it and thought, you know, I didn't do anything wrong. 96 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 2: I'm out here trying to protect the world as a 97 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 2: good scientist, trying to, you know, make sure a virus 98 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 2: never gets out and causes millions of deaths. 99 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,840 Speaker 1: Oh wait, one did, and I caused it right. 100 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,560 Speaker 2: New York Times opinion piece, which is the only Fauci 101 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 2: article I could find today. What we really learned from 102 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 2: the Fauci hearing show trials are bad for democracy. I 103 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:46,880 Speaker 2: would agree, actually, but probably not in the way they met. 104 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,800 Speaker 2: That's not the uh, it's not the coverage I was 105 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:51,960 Speaker 2: hoping for out of the New York Times. 106 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 1: In the Fauci trial. We now know that Anthony Fauci 107 00:06:54,760 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 1: knew long before any reporting about it, that the virus 108 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:05,039 Speaker 1: came out of the labs, as he was claiming publicly 109 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 1: the opposite. Yes. Yeah, the Wall Street Journal editorial board 110 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 1: did report on the Fauci thing, and we'll touch on 111 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 1: that later. But one interesting point that whoever wrote it 112 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,560 Speaker 1: made was that they thought Rand Paul's been a little 113 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 1: over the top in trying to criminalize Fauci and the 114 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 1: incury into Fauci. I wish you wouldn't go that direction, 115 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 1: because I think. 116 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 2: It weakens his position, not strengthens it. 117 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 1: And it gives Fauci an argument, look at this guy. 118 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 1: He's obsessed with putting me in jail. Putting me in jail. 119 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:38,080 Speaker 1: I tried to save everybody's lives. It almost creates a distraction. 120 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,240 Speaker 1: But in weighing whether I agreed with that or not, 121 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 1: after reading that piece in the Journal, it occurred to 122 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:49,240 Speaker 1: me Fauci's problem. And I'll say first that I don't 123 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 1: know a great deal about the current state of laws 124 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 1: about immunity for government officials. But Fauci's problem is the 125 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 1: greatest civil liability in the history of mankind. If he 126 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 1: and Peter Dazak in the Wuhan lab were toy in 127 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 1: with bat viruses to make him extravirulent to then test 128 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 1: how we could deal with them, and they were sloppy 129 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 1: and they let that virus out of the lab and 130 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 1: millions of people died, that would make the Beau Paul 131 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 1: disaster look like a fender bender. That would make, you know, 132 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 1: the Exon Valdez oil spill look like an unfortunate incident 133 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 1: at your local grocery store. I mean, it would be 134 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 1: the the mother father and all the cousins of all 135 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 1: liability cases. That's that's got to be what he's terrified of, 136 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 1: not only of being identified as a man whose negligence 137 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,680 Speaker 1: or hubris led to the deaths of millions, but you know, 138 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 1: potential liability. One of the sexiest men in America Cordiny 139 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:57,959 Speaker 1: People Magazine, I represent science. I'm more of a that 140 00:08:58,200 --> 00:08:58,960 Speaker 1: Damon guy. 141 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:06,000 Speaker 2: My said, have you read anything about I've seen Matt 142 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:10,080 Speaker 2: Damon in some interviews. I saw him at a couple 143 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,840 Speaker 2: of the World Cup soccer matches, saw him on TV 144 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:16,080 Speaker 2: at insum in person saw him on TV World Cup. 145 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 1: He is not even close to as jacked as he 146 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:27,439 Speaker 1: was in the movie. Did they do cgi to make 147 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:30,319 Speaker 1: his arms bigger or to make him look more muscular 148 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 1: or did he get super jacked for the filming, like 149 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 1: steroids or whatever and then went off him and went 150 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 1: back to normal size. Because he does not look like 151 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:39,360 Speaker 1: the guy in that movie. 152 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 2: In that movie, he's wearing whatever that is you wear 153 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 2: back in those days, some sort of sleeveless. 154 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:49,000 Speaker 1: T shirt. I don't know what that is. Yeah, yeah, 155 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:52,319 Speaker 1: kind of you you're going out to a gay club outfit? Yes, 156 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 1: I am told that he has a stunt double who 157 00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 1: is a woman and has bigger arms than him. Who 158 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:04,240 Speaker 1: you are told? Yes, say it's my source. That's my 159 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:08,320 Speaker 1: favorite part of the story. I am dope. According to 160 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:12,480 Speaker 1: sources near Matt Damon's Amazon well, there there were lots 161 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:15,320 Speaker 1: of shots of him where he was just he was 162 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 1: built more like well like Russell Klowe and Crow. 163 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,320 Speaker 2: And Gladiator, but he's not built like that in real life. 164 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:24,800 Speaker 2: Russell Crowe is, but Matt Damon isn't. 165 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 1: I don't know when filming finished and whether it's possible 166 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 1: to get that jacked and then you know, go back 167 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:34,439 Speaker 1: to normal in that timetable. I have no idea. I 168 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 1: would think not. 169 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,840 Speaker 2: I've not seen that, but anyway, I just wondered about that. 170 00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,320 Speaker 2: I thought there's just several scenes where I thought, those 171 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 2: aren't Matt Damon's arms. 172 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,000 Speaker 1: They can't be. He's not that big. 173 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 2: Speaking of being sexier than Anthony Fauci, if you know 174 00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,240 Speaker 2: anything about that, Texas or email, I'm kind of I'm 175 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 2: kind of interested. If that's just the future of acting. 176 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 2: They can make you look look completely different. I don't 177 00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 2: know what the point is of well. 178 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:00,560 Speaker 1: I's going to save a lot of trouble for actors 179 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,960 Speaker 1: who famously lost seventy five pounds to play this role. 180 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 1: Or yeah, you know whatever, we're in the gym for 181 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:10,680 Speaker 1: six months, blah blah blah. Might bother you look like 182 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 1: Marlon Brando towards the end and play you know, I 183 00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,760 Speaker 1: don't know, so, skinny stud. 184 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,440 Speaker 2: We need a little self ingrandizement. I think that would 185 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:22,240 Speaker 2: make me feel better. So that's in our opening clip. 186 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 1: I'm Jack Armstrong, he's Joe Getty on This is how 187 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,840 Speaker 1: did it already get to be Thursday, July thirtieth. 188 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,440 Speaker 2: We're almost done with July. Here people, you're twenty twenty 189 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 2: six were Armstrong and Geddy, and we. 190 00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,439 Speaker 1: Approve of this program. I had enough of the preliminaries 191 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,080 Speaker 1: list of the show according to FCC rules and regulations 192 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 1: at Mark Rachel, what appeals to you that two way? 193 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:45,080 Speaker 2: I love the fact that you're hearing everybody's different opinions. 194 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:46,559 Speaker 1: I started listening to. 195 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 2: You, guys from a recommendation from Armstrong and Geddy. 196 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 1: You read Eddy are great guys. I didn't know they 197 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:55,240 Speaker 1: were listeners. I Armstrong, they are. They are Greek guys. 198 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:56,200 Speaker 1: I like them. 199 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,200 Speaker 2: That's from Mark Alprin's show that I watch every day. 200 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,080 Speaker 2: It's my favorite news show. But one of her they 201 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 2: take lots of calls at the very end, and one 202 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 2: of them said she got turned on to Mark Calpern 203 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:12,640 Speaker 2: by listening to us. 204 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,720 Speaker 1: I like Mark and respect him and have liked him 205 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,400 Speaker 1: for a very long time. But right at the end 206 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 1: he reminded me so much of Will Ferrell in Anchorman. 207 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:24,880 Speaker 1: That clip we used to end the show with with 208 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 1: good show, everybody, nice work. I liked it. At the 209 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:35,760 Speaker 1: very end he says, yes, I like them very Will 210 00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:40,320 Speaker 1: Ferrell less. Doesn't that just fill you with a warm feeling? 211 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 1: You know, it's nice to be respected. I guess why 212 00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 1: is someone's smelling themselves? Oh hot, Mike hot, Mike Villain, 213 00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:55,520 Speaker 1: your Mike's on, Michael. Oh, that's fine, Thanks Mark and Company. 214 00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:57,720 Speaker 1: That's very kind of you. That is a good news show. 215 00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,520 Speaker 1: We will get into some of the Actually there's no 216 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 1: other shows, only ours. Actually, her point was, and we 217 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,680 Speaker 1: edited out her long point about why she liked us 218 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:10,520 Speaker 1: and them, is that she's looking for news sources where 219 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:16,440 Speaker 1: people seem to be seeking the truth rather than just 220 00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:20,520 Speaker 1: convincing you of us their own side, and where that 221 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:24,720 Speaker 1: and I think more Calprin's that and most people don't 222 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:25,080 Speaker 1: want that. 223 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:28,400 Speaker 2: It would seem for me looking around it's a niche 224 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:30,319 Speaker 2: market exactly. 225 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:32,679 Speaker 1: We'll get to some more headlines and a bunch of 226 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 1: other stuff on the way. Stay here. 227 00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,360 Speaker 2: I do have an update on Matt Damon's arms from 228 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:48,720 Speaker 2: the Odyssey. That is a very misleading headline that you quoted, Michael. 229 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 1: He he points out fake news. Michael, Well, there's one 230 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 1: scene where he's fighting giants. So they brought in a 231 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:00,360 Speaker 1: bunch of seven footers to be the giants, a bunch 232 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:03,120 Speaker 1: of people who are five foot to make the difference 233 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:06,360 Speaker 1: between their sizes more stark. And there was a stunt 234 00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:08,720 Speaker 1: double during that one scene who had great, big arms. 235 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 1: He said. The rest of the movie is one hundred 236 00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:14,320 Speaker 1: percent in my arms. So it's a three hour movie. 237 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 1: So one minute there's a stunt person's arms. Okay, so 238 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,520 Speaker 1: that's not what people are going around saying. But I 239 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:22,160 Speaker 1: thought this was kind of interesting. He and I must 240 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:25,120 Speaker 1: be about the same size, but he said, he said, 241 00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:28,440 Speaker 1: I lost a lot of weight. Nolan wanted me really lean. 242 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,880 Speaker 1: I've been walking around my whole life since high school 243 00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:34,440 Speaker 1: between one eighty five and two hundred. That's me too, 244 00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:36,440 Speaker 1: And he said, I did the whole movie at one 245 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 1: sixty seven. I haven't been that light since high school. 246 00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:44,320 Speaker 1: I cut out gluten. Okay, well, there you go. Good 247 00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:47,160 Speaker 1: for you. That's about where I should be one sixty seven. 248 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:50,560 Speaker 2: I don't see myself unless unless Christopher Nolan offers me 249 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:52,720 Speaker 2: fifty million dollars to be in a movie. I don't 250 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,440 Speaker 2: see myself getting disciplined to get down to one sixty seven. 251 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,480 Speaker 2: That is precisely the weight I got down to when 252 00:14:58,520 --> 00:14:59,640 Speaker 2: I lost all that weight. 253 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 1: He's really Yeah, yeah, I was that to wait for 254 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:09,080 Speaker 1: fifteen minutes before it started to climb back up. Probably 255 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:13,520 Speaker 1: true for Matt Damon too. Yeah. Yeah. Handful of headlines 256 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:18,680 Speaker 1: for you US said it intercepted an Iranian missile barrage Wednesday, 257 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:22,560 Speaker 1: then gave him a pretty good whacking overnight, but not 258 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 1: the big one. 259 00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:27,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, I've got an update on our supplies that came 260 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,560 Speaker 2: out from one of your institutes that studied this sort 261 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:33,320 Speaker 2: of stuff. That's a little damaging. Although Mike Lyon it's 262 00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:36,920 Speaker 2: bad news to hear. But Mikelines pointed out yesterday, like 263 00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:39,240 Speaker 2: we did last night, how about we go on offense, 264 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,840 Speaker 2: so we're not just waiting around shooting down missiles hoping 265 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,560 Speaker 2: our supplies hold out. We're on offense and they're worried 266 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:47,920 Speaker 2: about shooting our missiles down. That's the way to handle 267 00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:52,640 Speaker 2: that problem. Yeah, I know, I know, terrify him. I 268 00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:53,720 Speaker 2: don't know Trump is thinking. 269 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:57,280 Speaker 1: More than a thousand employees at the big AI companies 270 00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 1: signed a statement asking the US government to support international 271 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:05,240 Speaker 1: efforts to deliberately pace AI development. The whole bunch of 272 00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 1: employees or a bunch of former generals or whatever signed 273 00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:11,800 Speaker 1: the letter. Thing. This rarely goes anywhere. I've got a 274 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,800 Speaker 1: featurette on the current state of AI, just a news 275 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,800 Speaker 1: digest later on the show. It's interesting. The worm is 276 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:23,520 Speaker 1: definitely turned on Wall Street as investors are starting to say, 277 00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,400 Speaker 1: you know, y'all are pouring zillions of dollars into this stuff, 278 00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,520 Speaker 1: and I don't see you making any money anytime soon. 279 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:33,400 Speaker 1: So see how that develops. Yeah, well, in the. 280 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:37,440 Speaker 2: Video made that giant, giant investment in a couple of 281 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:41,040 Speaker 2: AI companies just the other day, and Bloomberg was writing 282 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 2: about the once again the circular nature of the whole 283 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:48,520 Speaker 2: AI investing thing. Everybody's investing in each other, and you know, 284 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:50,640 Speaker 2: at some point, Sony's got to start making a profit 285 00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:51,000 Speaker 2: out of this. 286 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:55,280 Speaker 1: Right, fed held a rate steady, surprising a lot of 287 00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:59,320 Speaker 1: folks in the market, plunged fauc you invoked the fifth. 288 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:03,000 Speaker 1: That's the big stuff. Europe is on fire, not not 289 00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:05,280 Speaker 1: like in a good way, They're on fire. No, they're 290 00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:11,160 Speaker 1: literally on fire. I do want to hit you with that. 291 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:15,200 Speaker 2: How how bad is our stores of defense weapons? 292 00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:17,359 Speaker 1: It's it's not it's definitely not good. But we got 293 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:18,720 Speaker 1: a lot of other stuff on the way too, since 294 00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:22,760 Speaker 1: they were armstrong and we can hit him very hard. 295 00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,359 Speaker 1: I mean, I could actually say that because in that 296 00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:28,679 Speaker 1: there's very little they can do about it. It was 297 00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:32,240 Speaker 1: a different group than we're dealing with. They've already apologized, 298 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,239 Speaker 1: but you know, we got to smack them a little bit, 299 00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:41,320 Speaker 1: hit back when they strike. Well I always hit back, yes, 300 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:41,960 Speaker 1: pretty much. 301 00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:47,480 Speaker 2: So I have no idea what Trump's thinking is. And 302 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:50,439 Speaker 2: it'll be something to read about this someday in the 303 00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:51,280 Speaker 2: history books. 304 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 1: A lot of the Trump haters were worried that he 305 00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 1: was a mad man that was going to get us 306 00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:00,320 Speaker 1: into World War III, and you know this and that 307 00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:07,680 Speaker 1: that still may be. He's so hesitant to want to 308 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:11,479 Speaker 1: deal with bad people and like call them out as 309 00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:14,640 Speaker 1: being bad, and I just I do not get it. 310 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:19,320 Speaker 1: So Fox's take on this today is this piece in 311 00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:23,120 Speaker 1: the Wall Street Journal, the US commander with a two 312 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:26,240 Speaker 1: week plan to escalate strikes in Iran. They're talking about 313 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:26,959 Speaker 1: Brad Cooper. 314 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:30,080 Speaker 2: He's the head of Centcom and he clearly talked to 315 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:33,520 Speaker 2: the Wall Street Journal and he's got this plan for 316 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:37,359 Speaker 2: us just blasting the hell out of Iran for two 317 00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:40,480 Speaker 2: weeks to make it basically impossible for them to fire 318 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:42,639 Speaker 2: any rockets or missiles at anybody, but it would be 319 00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:45,560 Speaker 2: like some it'd be like the very beginning of this 320 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,720 Speaker 2: epic fury thing, that kind of bombing for two weeks. 321 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:53,719 Speaker 2: And Fox's belief is that for whatever reason, he doesn't 322 00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:57,920 Speaker 2: get into the room and Pete hag Zeth, Secretary to War, 323 00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 2: and Dan Kane, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff 324 00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 2: are in the room with Trump making those decisions, and those. 325 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:07,960 Speaker 1: Three guys for whatever reason, you know, I don't know 326 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:11,359 Speaker 1: if Trump's driving that train or if, like Pete is 327 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:18,119 Speaker 1: way less aggressive behind closed doors than he is on TV, 328 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:20,200 Speaker 1: and he's the guy slowing it down. 329 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:23,040 Speaker 2: But something with those three guys keeps us from doing 330 00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:25,800 Speaker 2: what a lot of people think needs to be done. 331 00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:29,000 Speaker 1: And this Cooper guy's trying to get word to the 332 00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:32,320 Speaker 1: president through the Wall Street Journal because he's not in 333 00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:37,440 Speaker 1: those meetings. That's Fox's belief, right, And that might be true, honestly, 334 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,560 Speaker 1: And I'm guessing I think it's probably Trump driving that train. 335 00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,800 Speaker 1: We've mentioned before that, you know, in reference to the 336 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:49,479 Speaker 1: situation in Ukraine, he seriously seems like he wants to 337 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:55,840 Speaker 1: end death and suffering as soon as he can, and 338 00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:59,720 Speaker 1: so it could just be that he's a little gunshy. Literally, 339 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:04,400 Speaker 1: what is a couple go ahead? As a guy who 340 00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:11,159 Speaker 1: seems like the ultimate realist who Trump? Yeah, hmm, you 341 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:14,520 Speaker 1: don't think because I feel like hotels. Yes, I feel 342 00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:18,879 Speaker 1: like his rise politically is recognizing the American landscape for 343 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:22,120 Speaker 1: what it is and cynically taking advantage of it. Well, yeah, 344 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:25,159 Speaker 1: I think it's like, is he a great communicator or not? 345 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:28,359 Speaker 1: I think he. I've joked before that I know like 346 00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:30,879 Speaker 1: three licks on the guitar and I can play him really, 347 00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,240 Speaker 1: really well. But don't be fooled. I'm not a good 348 00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:36,879 Speaker 1: guitar player. Trump knows a handful of licks, period, and 349 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:41,760 Speaker 1: I think he's a realistic and savvy about certain aspects 350 00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:45,520 Speaker 1: of life. But like the terriff thing is looney Tunes. 351 00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:48,040 Speaker 1: I could give you several several examples where it's just 352 00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:50,920 Speaker 1: it's bad. But anyway, we're off on a tangent, and 353 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,160 Speaker 1: I want to make a couple of points. Number one, 354 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:55,960 Speaker 1: if what he said is taking at face value, that yeah, 355 00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,480 Speaker 1: we're dealing with one group of people. The other group 356 00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:00,879 Speaker 1: of people were the ones firing those missiles, and the 357 00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:04,040 Speaker 1: first group apologized and they said, oh, please, don't hit us. 358 00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:05,719 Speaker 1: But I got to hit him a little bit. Number one, 359 00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:10,640 Speaker 1: that's an incredibly difficult situation to be in, diplomatically and militarily. 360 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:12,320 Speaker 1: How the hell are you supposed to deal with that? 361 00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,760 Speaker 1: Second thought, it reminds me a lot of Good Cop, 362 00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:19,920 Speaker 1: Bad Cop too. Is it really two groups that are 363 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,600 Speaker 1: in conflict with each other? Or is it good cop 364 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:27,600 Speaker 1: bad cop? And third, the first phase was called epic fury. 365 00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:32,520 Speaker 1: The second phase should be called intermittent annoyance because it's 366 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:36,119 Speaker 1: just been a few bombs here, a few bombs there. 367 00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:39,359 Speaker 1: You gotta stop that, all right, here's a few bombs. Now, 368 00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,600 Speaker 1: let's talk more. Well. The other part is. 369 00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:46,800 Speaker 2: He gets mocked for this by by the people who 370 00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:48,919 Speaker 2: hate him. But he wrote a book called The Art 371 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,480 Speaker 2: of the Deal. He got really really rich on making 372 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,639 Speaker 2: lots and lots of really really big deals. You would 373 00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:59,080 Speaker 2: think his life experience would have been I can figure 374 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,600 Speaker 2: out very quickly when somebody isn't interested in making a 375 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,200 Speaker 2: deal and is jerking me around. But it doesn't seem 376 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:06,959 Speaker 2: to be able to do that with Putin or the Iranians. 377 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:12,000 Speaker 2: He keeps thinking they actually they say they want a deal. 378 00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:19,280 Speaker 1: They're liars. Drude. Yes, yeah. Trump is so polarizing it's 379 00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:25,800 Speaker 1: difficult to take any source, you know, seriously without at 380 00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:30,000 Speaker 1: least a grain of salt. My understanding from having dug 381 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,560 Speaker 1: into this back in the day was that Trump was 382 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 1: okay as a deal maker, he was okay as a developer. 383 00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:42,800 Speaker 1: But the show The Apprentice, the myth making of that 384 00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:46,359 Speaker 1: was that he was the all time master, the greatest ever. 385 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:48,679 Speaker 1: That was part of the appeal of the show, but 386 00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:51,200 Speaker 1: it really There are plenty of other folks who said 387 00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:55,520 Speaker 1: that's not really true. But again, grain of salt. I'm right, 388 00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:58,479 Speaker 1: I have no idea. And either way, you don't end 389 00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:00,359 Speaker 1: up a billionaire by accident. You don't end up with 390 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:02,439 Speaker 1: the number one TV show in America by accident, A 391 00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:05,240 Speaker 1: lot of you don't end up elected president twice by accident. 392 00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:08,720 Speaker 1: You have some savvy and understanding of the world to 393 00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:11,919 Speaker 1: pull off those three things. And how he has that 394 00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:15,679 Speaker 1: ability and can't see that Putin's just jerking him around 395 00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:19,120 Speaker 1: and Aran's just jerking him around. I don't get right. 396 00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:21,680 Speaker 1: It just makes no sense to me unless he's pretending. 397 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:25,080 Speaker 1: But I don't can't imagine why he's pretending. No they 398 00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:27,560 Speaker 1: really want to make a deal. They have shown no 399 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:33,119 Speaker 1: interest in that. And if it's some tiny one faction hack, okay, 400 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:35,159 Speaker 1: but that's not the faction that's shooting at us. So 401 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:39,639 Speaker 1: what difference does it make, certainly, with Putin is calling 402 00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:43,440 Speaker 1: the shots, we know that, and there's no indication ever 403 00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:47,800 Speaker 1: that Putin wants to make a deal. No, okaysheshin ping 404 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:50,840 Speaker 1: unless it benefits him. We're good, we have a good relationship, 405 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:54,960 Speaker 1: we're friends. Okay. So I'm not sure that it was 406 00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:58,359 Speaker 1: good that the New York Times and some anonymous source 407 00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:02,680 Speaker 1: alerted our enemy to the fact that our diminished stockpile 408 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:06,720 Speaker 1: of anti missile technology is why Trump called off the 409 00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:10,200 Speaker 1: big attack a week ago. In fact, I think it's 410 00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:12,640 Speaker 1: almost certainly not good that we announced that tammy. 411 00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:16,199 Speaker 2: But anyway, here's the information that's out from one of 412 00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:18,679 Speaker 2: these think tanks that looks at this sort of stuff. 413 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:23,160 Speaker 2: Before the war started, we had twenty three hundred Patriot missiles. 414 00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:25,960 Speaker 1: For some reason, I as. 415 00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:30,320 Speaker 2: An American paying lots of taxes, and we pay more 416 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:34,479 Speaker 2: for our military than practically every other world other country 417 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:37,840 Speaker 2: in the world added together, which is astonishing. I would 418 00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:42,240 Speaker 2: have assumed we had more than twenty three hundred Patriot missiles. Anyway, 419 00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:43,679 Speaker 2: now we have about seven. 420 00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:47,440 Speaker 1: Hundred and fifty. That's we went from twenty three hundred 421 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:51,720 Speaker 1: to seven hundred and fifty. The sad fairly short time, 422 00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:58,840 Speaker 1: the very successful ways to shoot down ballistic missiles. Thad response, 423 00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:00,919 Speaker 1: I forget what that stands for. You hear it in 424 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:03,160 Speaker 1: the news all the time. We had four hundred and 425 00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:05,639 Speaker 1: fifty two of those. We now have two hundred and 426 00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:11,360 Speaker 1: thirty four. Huh so cut in half. So the patriot 427 00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:14,120 Speaker 1: missile cut in down a third from what we had. 428 00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:15,280 Speaker 1: Fads cut in half. 429 00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:20,560 Speaker 2: And I don't know how long it takes to make 430 00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:25,320 Speaker 2: this stuff and get back your stockpile. But there's no 431 00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:30,919 Speaker 2: rule out there that some other enemy can't jump ugly 432 00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:36,080 Speaker 2: with you while you're fighting someone else, right, or encourage 433 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:37,400 Speaker 2: their proxy. 434 00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:42,680 Speaker 1: Let's burn three hundred more of those Patriot missiles. I 435 00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:45,000 Speaker 1: tell you what. It starts shooting at them for a while. 436 00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:48,080 Speaker 1: Let's get them down to like four hundred and see 437 00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:51,560 Speaker 1: what happens, and then let's start maybe getting a little 438 00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:54,359 Speaker 1: more aggressive in the South China Sea when they're feeling 439 00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:58,840 Speaker 1: a little vulnerable. Yeah, it's not good. It's not good 440 00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:02,840 Speaker 1: that it's public information. And for one thing, No, there 441 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:05,919 Speaker 1: are some really good trends going on in the Pentagon 442 00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:11,840 Speaker 1: and the procurement processes where much less expensive weapons more 443 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:16,120 Speaker 1: effect or still affective, but much less expensive weapons are 444 00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:21,560 Speaker 1: being developed, Procurements getting a lot faster the Ukraine style 445 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:27,840 Speaker 1: reappraising month to month what technologies we need. I'm told 446 00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:32,000 Speaker 1: that that's pretty encouraging right now. But it just because 447 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:34,680 Speaker 1: we've started to turn the gigantic ship of the Pentagon 448 00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:37,119 Speaker 1: around doesn't mean Okay, we're fine. We still have an 449 00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:39,360 Speaker 1: enormous challenge. But that's good anyway. 450 00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:42,120 Speaker 2: Well, one of the oldest sayings in sports that Mike 451 00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:44,640 Speaker 2: Lyons hit us with yesterday is certainly true in war, 452 00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:48,000 Speaker 2: the best defense is a good offense, him as a 453 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,399 Speaker 2: military guy saying, how about we make them worry about 454 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:53,200 Speaker 2: our missiles for a while instead of we're hunkered down 455 00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:55,040 Speaker 2: seeing if we can shoot down every one of their 456 00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:56,120 Speaker 2: missiles coming at us. 457 00:26:56,800 --> 00:27:00,840 Speaker 1: Right right, they're smoking some sort of weird middlely stern cigarette, 458 00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:04,080 Speaker 1: chatting with the Chinese about what barracks they should hit next. 459 00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:07,240 Speaker 1: How about we have them running for cover, right. 460 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:11,480 Speaker 2: I don't know, it's a it's a troubling situation and 461 00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:14,560 Speaker 2: the fact that Egypt got hit, Saudi Arabia is fully 462 00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:17,840 Speaker 2: involved in the war, at least for this week. 463 00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:22,920 Speaker 1: Who knows where this is going? What's the way out? 464 00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:25,520 Speaker 1: Because you can't you can't leave the straight of horror 465 00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:28,479 Speaker 1: moves in control of the Iranians, and you can't let 466 00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:30,760 Speaker 1: them get a nuclear weapon. Those two things are just 467 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:37,399 Speaker 1: those are not options. If it's gonna had the answer, 468 00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:39,800 Speaker 1: I would spout it right now. This is going to 469 00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:44,320 Speaker 1: dominate the rest of his presidency. It's entirely possible. Yes, 470 00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:48,000 Speaker 1: in fact, it's probable. All right, well, let's for once 471 00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:48,280 Speaker 1: take it. 472 00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:50,760 Speaker 2: Do we have a commercial here, Michael, let's for ones 473 00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:52,640 Speaker 2: to take a break, to give enough time for a 474 00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:55,760 Speaker 2: mail bag, and then you're gonna unleash what an hour. 475 00:27:55,720 --> 00:28:00,560 Speaker 1: Or two a uh, stunningly effective and an and fairly 476 00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:04,760 Speaker 1: brief indictment of doctor Fauci. Lest anybody be distracted by 477 00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:08,600 Speaker 1: the mainstream media saying this is a partisan which hunts silliness, 478 00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:15,040 Speaker 1: it absolutely was not. They're really criticizing science because I 479 00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:20,480 Speaker 1: represent science, and it absolutely was not old information things 480 00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:23,359 Speaker 1: that have been rehashed over and over again. Can you 481 00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:26,399 Speaker 1: imagine in some sort of big argument about I don't know, 482 00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:29,600 Speaker 1: pick your topic. Maybe Trump's family making a lot of money, 483 00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:32,160 Speaker 1: or maybe it's the war with Iran, or maybe it's 484 00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:36,320 Speaker 1: whether the Feds can control elections. Somebody's saying they're really 485 00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:41,080 Speaker 1: fighting against the Constitution. Because I represent the Constitution. They'd 486 00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:44,080 Speaker 1: be laughed out of the room, as Fauci should have been. 487 00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:55,920 Speaker 1: All right, lots on the ways there. I forgot Fauci 488 00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:59,000 Speaker 1: is the highest paid government employee when he left office 489 00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:03,280 Speaker 1: in the whole country. I'd forgotten that too. Now, money 490 00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:06,160 Speaker 1: well spent. Here's your freedom women. Quota of the day 491 00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:11,600 Speaker 1: sent along by honorary producer Jeff, who sends all sorts 492 00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:13,840 Speaker 1: of great stuff, and I appreciate it very much. Say 493 00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:18,760 Speaker 1: picture of portrait Jack of you know this man, the 494 00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:24,040 Speaker 1: great Carl Marx. His beard game was top notch, true, 495 00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:26,600 Speaker 1: will give him that. I'm a fair minded man. His 496 00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:30,200 Speaker 1: beard game was spectacular, really rocking the long hair as well. 497 00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:32,719 Speaker 1: Could have played bass in a metal band. Anyway, it's 498 00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:36,520 Speaker 1: a picture of Carl Marx. I love this. Socialism works 499 00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:41,800 Speaker 1: just as often as Carl Marx did. That's really good. 500 00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:43,840 Speaker 1: You don't know his story, Jack, would you like to 501 00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:45,080 Speaker 1: give us the ten second version. 502 00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:47,600 Speaker 2: He was a lifetime sponge off of all kinds of 503 00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:51,240 Speaker 2: different people, women, family, and then that poor Ingles guy. 504 00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:53,960 Speaker 1: Who he wrote the book with. Yeah yeah, just ripped 505 00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:58,280 Speaker 1: everybody off. Free loaded, never worked. Oh boy, mail bag, 506 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,440 Speaker 1: I was a note mail bag at Armstrong getty dot com. 507 00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:06,120 Speaker 1: A mail bag at Armstrong and getty dot com. On 508 00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:08,280 Speaker 1: the topic of the end of the show yesterday, John 509 00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:13,040 Speaker 1: from Eugene, Oregon writes, guys, the uh that was great 510 00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:15,160 Speaker 1: the last segment of your show. I have to start 511 00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:17,200 Speaker 1: using perspective. It's all the way you look at things. 512 00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:21,280 Speaker 1: Monocabagan was in solitary confinement and he handled it. I 513 00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:24,120 Speaker 1: can handle what I've got. Really great segment. Thanks, thank you. 514 00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:26,560 Speaker 1: That was the final segment of yesterday's show. You can 515 00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:29,000 Speaker 1: grab it by a podcast Armstrong, You Getty on demand, 516 00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:34,440 Speaker 1: you auto subscribe, auto downloads. Oh a brief recap. We 517 00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:38,840 Speaker 1: were talking about just some great examples of I think 518 00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:43,320 Speaker 1: we were talking about young people convinced that they're doomed 519 00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:48,280 Speaker 1: and depressed and anxious and overthinking in a negative way. 520 00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:52,480 Speaker 2: It was the premise is that we've never been more 521 00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:54,920 Speaker 2: focused on mental health, and it seems to be doing 522 00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:55,560 Speaker 2: more harm than. 523 00:30:55,480 --> 00:31:01,080 Speaker 1: Good, right, yeah, yeah, and that and and I realize 524 00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:04,120 Speaker 1: this sounds cliched, but it's a cliche because it is 525 00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:08,920 Speaker 1: absolutely fundamental to human life. You've got to try to 526 00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:11,680 Speaker 1: be optimistic and look in the bright side. It changes 527 00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:14,720 Speaker 1: your life. And or look at yourself before you look 528 00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:19,920 Speaker 1: at anything else. Anyway, moving along, the most important question 529 00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:24,280 Speaker 1: Fauci was never asked from Kevin the Texas Marine asking 530 00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:27,040 Speaker 1: the most important question. Mister, I represent science, never got 531 00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:30,360 Speaker 1: to avoid. So now can I go to the wet 532 00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:33,479 Speaker 1: market and safely get some bats to snack on? A 533 00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:36,480 Speaker 1: cold beer, a grilled bat, and some Chinese mustard? Actually 534 00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:39,600 Speaker 1: quite good? Try it? Are you kidding? Kevin the Texas Marine? 535 00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:42,360 Speaker 1: Chinese mustard? What do you think I have on my 536 00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:46,720 Speaker 1: egg rolls? Love Chinese mustard? So good? Anyway, he says, 537 00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:48,880 Speaker 1: that's one of the best ways to spend an evening 538 00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:52,120 Speaker 1: after a grueling four hour work day. Mmmm, some i 539 00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:55,120 Speaker 1: old bat and a cold beer. Yeah. How much did 540 00:31:55,160 --> 00:32:00,640 Speaker 1: that damage the wet bat market? The open markets? You know? 541 00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:04,360 Speaker 1: And and it was all a lie? Yeah, they probably 542 00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:08,320 Speaker 1: humble Chinese wet bat salesman. We're out of work now 543 00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:13,479 Speaker 1: thanks to that. You fish around in a big barrel 544 00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:16,360 Speaker 1: full of opaque water trying to get a decent bat 545 00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:21,520 Speaker 1: out of there. Right, that one's kind of scrawny. Keep digging, honey, Yeah, 546 00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:23,520 Speaker 1: you put those people out of work. Does this one 547 00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:25,520 Speaker 1: look great to you? I don't know if this look digging? 548 00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:32,120 Speaker 1: Oh god, that's so gross. Let's see. Chris from Shiny 549 00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:38,440 Speaker 1: Spangled Washington writes, de're brilliant Joe and simple Jack, and 550 00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:42,440 Speaker 1: he's asking the media the Fauci diary is less notable 551 00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:49,920 Speaker 1: than Epstein? Really, media? Yeah, the useless legacy media had 552 00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:53,800 Speaker 1: the Jeffrey freaking Epstein files as their lead story for months, 553 00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:57,760 Speaker 1: but no mention of the Fauci Diary. The esteemed jackass 554 00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:00,720 Speaker 1: Senator Gary Peters, who says this is old news and 555 00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:03,360 Speaker 1: a waste of time, says this on his Senate dot 556 00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:07,400 Speaker 1: gov website. Quote. Peters leagues leads colleagues in calling on 557 00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:11,160 Speaker 1: Senate Majority leader to quickly bring the Epstein Files Transparency 558 00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:14,240 Speaker 1: Act to the floor for a vote. We cannot hate 559 00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:17,560 Speaker 1: these people enough. We are not a serious country monarchy 560 00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:23,360 Speaker 1: now ha yeah yeah, m all right, well, you know what, 561 00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:25,080 Speaker 1: it's clever so far. I'll go with it. But the 562 00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:28,800 Speaker 1: only monarch I want. If it's someone else's monarch, I 563 00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:31,760 Speaker 1: don't really want that one. Will declare my property sovereign, 564 00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:35,000 Speaker 1: plagiarize the Declaration of Independence, and live in peace watching 565 00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:37,000 Speaker 1: the beavers take over the earth. All right, Chris, thanks 566 00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:41,960 Speaker 1: for the note. Secretarian wants to know you'll grill Fauci, 567 00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:46,200 Speaker 1: but not the sitting president. And he talks about I 568 00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:48,960 Speaker 1: watched the coverage that oh, and he says, fair enough, 569 00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:54,000 Speaker 1: Fauci is fair game. But he says, Fauci gets day's scrutiny. 570 00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:57,080 Speaker 1: Hunter Biden got years of it treating his criminals, families, 571 00:33:57,160 --> 00:34:00,880 Speaker 1: finances picked apart. Meanwhile, the current administration families and staggering 572 00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:03,360 Speaker 1: sums billions tied to the president's own kids. And it 573 00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:05,840 Speaker 1: barely registers here. You know, we've actually brought it up 574 00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:10,280 Speaker 1: a number of times. It's unprecedented. It's really not good 575 00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:12,399 Speaker 1: at all. Well, it's a terrible look. 576 00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:15,080 Speaker 2: Definitely gonna get its moment in the sun if the 577 00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:16,719 Speaker 2: Democrats take the House back. 578 00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:21,719 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, nobody can find any illegality so far. But yeah, 579 00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:24,520 Speaker 1: it troubles me greatly. The idea that it looks like 580 00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:28,120 Speaker 1: America's forten policies for sale. I don't like this either, 581 00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:30,200 Speaker 1: or though I don't like this, but what about that? 582 00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:32,480 Speaker 1: I don't like that argument. That's what they're doing on 583 00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:35,480 Speaker 1: a lot of the cable news channels yesterday. Fine, have 584 00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:38,279 Speaker 1: a separate hearing about Trump's handling of COVID if you 585 00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:41,440 Speaker 1: want to. Fauci's diaries came out. It's clear now that 586 00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:45,000 Speaker 1: he lied to us. Can we deal with that? Right? Right? Yeah, 587 00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:48,080 Speaker 1: that's sort of you know, the cliched responses. We can 588 00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:51,440 Speaker 1: walk in chew gum at the same time, but it's 589 00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:53,839 Speaker 1: becomes such a cliche. People don't think about it. It's 590 00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:56,319 Speaker 1: called switching the topic. It's an old tactic. I do 591 00:34:56,360 --> 00:35:00,440 Speaker 1: it myself. Let's do it, Let's do both. See Joan 592 00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:03,759 Speaker 1: Stockton on the topic of the Founding Fathers and slavery 593 00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:07,480 Speaker 1: and Thomas Jefferson specifically, and he's talking about Virginia law 594 00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:10,720 Speaker 1: at the time that slaves could only legally be freed 595 00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:13,359 Speaker 1: by bequest while the owner was alive. He could keep 596 00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:15,200 Speaker 1: his people or sell them, but he couldn't free them. 597 00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:17,600 Speaker 1: And also the freed slave had to be provided with 598 00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:20,800 Speaker 1: a living. For most this was farmland, and Jefferson was 599 00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:25,040 Speaker 1: a miserable businessman with upside down finances, so he couldn't 600 00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:28,840 Speaker 1: do that again. It's much more complicated than they forture 601 00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:33,400 Speaker 1: to freed all the slaves. We're gonna get into some 602 00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:36,120 Speaker 1: of the fauci details an hour two, but a lot 603 00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:37,760 Speaker 1: of other stuff too. I hope you can stick around, 604 00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:39,440 Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getty
