WEBVTT - Nobody's Strikin' Nothin'

0:00:01.800 --> 0:00:06.120
<v Speaker 1>Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

0:00:06.160 --> 0:00:07.600
<v Speaker 1>Washington Broadcast Center.

0:00:07.760 --> 0:00:11.840
<v Speaker 2>Jack Armstrong, Joe Katty, I'm strong, and Jetty, I know

0:00:12.400 --> 0:00:17.200
<v Speaker 2>he armstrong and Yetty.

0:00:23.600 --> 0:00:26.759
<v Speaker 3>So many members in the in the media are carrying

0:00:26.840 --> 0:00:30.320
<v Speaker 3>water for Iran. You know, of course, the Iranians consume

0:00:30.400 --> 0:00:33.360
<v Speaker 3>all of American media and they must be elated with

0:00:33.479 --> 0:00:37.960
<v Speaker 3>the vast majority of this coverage. And they've just realized,

0:00:38.040 --> 0:00:40.920
<v Speaker 3>now we can't and will never put any kinds of

0:00:40.960 --> 0:00:43.880
<v Speaker 3>boots on ground, or we won't do the kinds of

0:00:44.080 --> 0:00:48.040
<v Speaker 3>very specific kinds of things like for receiving the uranium

0:00:48.360 --> 0:00:52.640
<v Speaker 3>material or reopening the straight. And now that's they puts

0:00:52.640 --> 0:00:56.000
<v Speaker 3>them in the straight. Where here we are right now?

0:00:56.760 --> 0:01:00.520
<v Speaker 4>Senator Fedman Fetterman of Pennsylvania Democrat. Not like the media

0:01:00.560 --> 0:01:02.880
<v Speaker 4>coverage around the whole Iranian war, I would agree, if

0:01:02.920 --> 0:01:06.319
<v Speaker 4>you watch like the Sunday shows or Cable News channel

0:01:06.360 --> 0:01:09.400
<v Speaker 4>or anything like that, it's all a discussion of, well,

0:01:09.440 --> 0:01:12.160
<v Speaker 4>the disaster happened. It's the worst thing any president has

0:01:12.160 --> 0:01:15.479
<v Speaker 4>ever done. How do we clean this up? Without any

0:01:15.640 --> 0:01:19.440
<v Speaker 4>idea that things could still turn out for the better,

0:01:20.240 --> 0:01:21.600
<v Speaker 4>which they obviously.

0:01:21.160 --> 0:01:23.960
<v Speaker 1>Could, And because it's an echo chamber. They don't even

0:01:23.959 --> 0:01:26.920
<v Speaker 1>feel the need to make the argument for why it's

0:01:27.520 --> 0:01:31.319
<v Speaker 1>a mistake. It's just self evident in their world and

0:01:31.480 --> 0:01:34.720
<v Speaker 1>all the implications and omissions of the you know, the

0:01:34.720 --> 0:01:37.360
<v Speaker 1>Iranians trying to get nuclear weapons as soon as they could,

0:01:37.560 --> 0:01:40.520
<v Speaker 1>spreading terrorism. They've got proxy armies all over the region,

0:01:40.720 --> 0:01:43.720
<v Speaker 1>sewing mayhem constantly. They don't even bother to make the case.

0:01:44.400 --> 0:01:46.959
<v Speaker 2>So the blockade is on as we speak.

0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:49.880
<v Speaker 4>The United States is now blockading the Straight of Horror

0:01:49.880 --> 0:01:52.680
<v Speaker 4>moves so no ships can come in and out. Hey, Ran,

0:01:52.720 --> 0:01:55.480
<v Speaker 4>you ain't gonna make any more money from here on out. Also,

0:01:55.560 --> 0:01:57.840
<v Speaker 4>hey China, you ain't gonna get me oil. Neither is Europe.

0:01:58.360 --> 0:02:01.880
<v Speaker 4>So you got that. Ran has threatened all kinds of

0:02:01.920 --> 0:02:06.280
<v Speaker 4>attacks on ports and ships that go through and all

0:02:06.280 --> 0:02:08.320
<v Speaker 4>that sort of stuff. Donald Trump has just put out

0:02:08.320 --> 0:02:12.639
<v Speaker 4>another truth social post in which he says Iran's navy

0:02:12.720 --> 0:02:15.240
<v Speaker 4>is laying at the bottom of the sea, completely obliterated

0:02:15.240 --> 0:02:18.080
<v Speaker 4>one hundred and fifty eight ships. What we have not

0:02:18.200 --> 0:02:20.840
<v Speaker 4>hit are their small number of what they call fast

0:02:20.919 --> 0:02:23.200
<v Speaker 4>attack ships, because we do not consider them much of

0:02:23.200 --> 0:02:26.640
<v Speaker 4>a threat. Warning if any of these ships come anywhere

0:02:26.680 --> 0:02:30.520
<v Speaker 4>close to our blockade. They will be immediately eliminated using

0:02:30.520 --> 0:02:32.840
<v Speaker 4>the same system of kill that we used against the

0:02:32.880 --> 0:02:36.519
<v Speaker 4>drug dealers on boats at sea. It is quick and brutal.

0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:40.640
<v Speaker 4>So we're going to drone strike the fast attack boats

0:02:41.160 --> 0:02:42.720
<v Speaker 4>if they head out into the Strait.

0:02:42.880 --> 0:02:46.880
<v Speaker 2>Apparently fair enough. Yeah, that'd be exciting today.

0:02:47.720 --> 0:02:51.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you brought China into the discussion, which is absolutely appropriate.

0:02:51.360 --> 0:02:53.440
<v Speaker 1>And when we were talking about this earlier, Jack made

0:02:53.600 --> 0:02:56.560
<v Speaker 1>I think an excellent point that this feels to some

0:02:56.639 --> 0:03:01.040
<v Speaker 1>extent like the big thing hasn't even happened, right their

0:03:01.160 --> 0:03:04.080
<v Speaker 1>run up to the big thing, the history making event,

0:03:04.680 --> 0:03:06.400
<v Speaker 1>here's the best thing we've got going for us.

0:03:06.440 --> 0:03:08.480
<v Speaker 2>Ironically, China is.

0:03:08.440 --> 0:03:12.160
<v Speaker 1>So desperately addicted to exports, and he shocked to the

0:03:12.160 --> 0:03:18.040
<v Speaker 1>world economy would be terrible for their economy, like unpractically unsustainable.

0:03:18.200 --> 0:03:20.600
<v Speaker 1>So it's held him in check from moving on Taiwan

0:03:20.680 --> 0:03:24.640
<v Speaker 1>for now. And I also think they are seriously going

0:03:24.680 --> 0:03:28.960
<v Speaker 1>to exert pressure on the IRGC to tone the crap

0:03:29.040 --> 0:03:32.240
<v Speaker 1>down because China's got to have world trade going in

0:03:32.280 --> 0:03:34.080
<v Speaker 1>the world.

0:03:36.440 --> 0:03:37.480
<v Speaker 2>I hope that happens.

0:03:37.920 --> 0:03:42.440
<v Speaker 4>Maybe that's Trump's leverage, Maybe he feels like that's the leverage, because.

0:03:42.240 --> 0:03:45.120
<v Speaker 1>What's the alternative, China decides to go crazy on the

0:03:45.240 --> 0:03:48.080
<v Speaker 1>US and get into a tit for tat with Trump.

0:03:49.880 --> 0:03:52.120
<v Speaker 2>I just don't. I don't think that's the right strategy.

0:03:52.160 --> 0:03:55.080
<v Speaker 4>And it could be Europe and China leaning on Iran. Hey,

0:03:55.840 --> 0:03:57.800
<v Speaker 4>get your open that straight.

0:03:59.240 --> 0:04:02.200
<v Speaker 1>Well, you'repleaning on anybody is not very impressive.

0:04:03.800 --> 0:04:06.400
<v Speaker 2>Europe is a you know what Europe is. I'm gonna

0:04:06.440 --> 0:04:07.280
<v Speaker 2>tell you what Europe is.

0:04:07.760 --> 0:04:11.480
<v Speaker 1>Europe is a sixteen year old golden retriever that ought

0:04:11.520 --> 0:04:13.760
<v Speaker 1>to weigh about seventy pounds, but it weighs one hundred

0:04:13.760 --> 0:04:18.400
<v Speaker 1>and ten. It can barely walk. It lumbers around, fat

0:04:18.440 --> 0:04:21.160
<v Speaker 1>and useless. You're steering in a way like with their

0:04:21.160 --> 0:04:23.040
<v Speaker 1>food and their architecture, but useless.

0:04:23.160 --> 0:04:25.719
<v Speaker 2>Europe is a fat golden retriever. You heard it here first.

0:04:25.960 --> 0:04:28.839
<v Speaker 2>That's it. That's the sort of analysis you only hear

0:04:29.160 --> 0:04:31.680
<v Speaker 2>here at the Armstrong and Getty show. I didn't mean militarily.

0:04:31.880 --> 0:04:34.039
<v Speaker 4>It looked like, for a couple of days there last week,

0:04:34.200 --> 0:04:36.440
<v Speaker 4>that Europe might strike some sort of a deal with

0:04:36.520 --> 0:04:42.080
<v Speaker 4>Iran where okay, we'll pay the tolls and go through and.

0:04:41.080 --> 0:04:43.880
<v Speaker 1>Nobody's striking nothing, says me, Donald J.

0:04:44.040 --> 0:04:50.120
<v Speaker 4>Trump, Right, So hmm, that's exciting stuff. We'll see how

0:04:50.120 --> 0:04:51.599
<v Speaker 4>this all turns out today.

0:04:51.360 --> 0:04:54.720
<v Speaker 1>I guess yeah, yeah, a side issue. It's hard to

0:04:54.800 --> 0:04:58.520
<v Speaker 1>tell because the lefty media loves this. But Trump's Mimi

0:04:58.600 --> 0:05:01.080
<v Speaker 1>put out last night of him elf is Jesus.

0:05:01.240 --> 0:05:02.920
<v Speaker 2>I haven't seen it. I've just heard about it. Oh,

0:05:02.960 --> 0:05:03.840
<v Speaker 2>I texted it.

0:05:04.680 --> 0:05:06.960
<v Speaker 1>I think or Hanson did some of it's it's on

0:05:07.000 --> 0:05:12.640
<v Speaker 1>the group feed, but it's causing widespread consternationd Evangelic.

0:05:12.839 --> 0:05:17.080
<v Speaker 2>That's from his own truth social feed. He Truth did out.

0:05:17.240 --> 0:05:21.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, as if he is Jesus with dead service members

0:05:21.120 --> 0:05:24.280
<v Speaker 1>in heaven, with angels wings above him, and an American

0:05:24.360 --> 0:05:28.520
<v Speaker 1>flag and an eagle and touching the forehead of a

0:05:28.640 --> 0:05:32.120
<v Speaker 1>dying man, And oh my god, does it have any

0:05:32.200 --> 0:05:34.720
<v Speaker 1>words accompanying this picture or just the picture.

0:05:36.160 --> 0:05:41.040
<v Speaker 2>I'm just aware of the picture. It's it's holy crap.

0:05:41.760 --> 0:05:50.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah literally, Yeah? Did he think that was touching? Funny?

0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:53.799
<v Speaker 4>Is he just trolling? Is this a classic Donald Trump?

0:05:53.800 --> 0:05:55.360
<v Speaker 4>All this will get people upset?

0:05:55.640 --> 0:05:59.719
<v Speaker 1>Well, he's He's retweeted and memed out many memes that

0:05:59.720 --> 0:06:04.400
<v Speaker 1>show him as like a superhero or a just a

0:06:04.480 --> 0:06:07.599
<v Speaker 1>god like figure. But this is a touch on the nose.

0:06:07.839 --> 0:06:10.200
<v Speaker 1>Or on the cross if you will. Wow, it's got

0:06:10.320 --> 0:06:15.279
<v Speaker 1>so many elements to it. So it's Trump dressed like Jesus.

0:06:17.800 --> 0:06:20.200
<v Speaker 1>You got the American flag in the background, as Joe said,

0:06:20.240 --> 0:06:26.720
<v Speaker 1>eagles flying, of course, or some jets. You got a guy,

0:06:26.800 --> 0:06:28.760
<v Speaker 1>an old guy with a veteran hat on. Then he

0:06:28.839 --> 0:06:31.120
<v Speaker 1>got a young guy who's clearly currently in the military.

0:06:31.160 --> 0:06:35.360
<v Speaker 1>You got a nurse all looking up at him, all

0:06:35.520 --> 0:06:38.360
<v Speaker 1>inspired as he lays hands. I don't know what it

0:06:38.400 --> 0:06:42.080
<v Speaker 1>appears to be, somebody who's wounded or dead, dying, dying man,

0:06:42.080 --> 0:06:46.159
<v Speaker 1>I would say. And the divine light is emanating from

0:06:46.200 --> 0:06:47.599
<v Speaker 1>both of Trump's hands.

0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:50.800
<v Speaker 2>What the hell is the message of this?

0:06:51.800 --> 0:06:54.560
<v Speaker 1>Oh there's the you left out the Statue of Liberty

0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:57.279
<v Speaker 1>in the background, right, and the Lincoln Memorial. Oh is

0:06:57.279 --> 0:07:00.839
<v Speaker 1>that the Lincoln folks who hadn't picked up on the theme, Yes.

0:07:01.520 --> 0:07:04.839
<v Speaker 2>Lincoln Memorial. And then what's that up the top?

0:07:05.720 --> 0:07:09.320
<v Speaker 1>Those are dead soldiers with angels wings. Oh my god,

0:07:11.080 --> 0:07:11.680
<v Speaker 1>you're right?

0:07:12.600 --> 0:07:15.880
<v Speaker 2>Or is that some sort of demon character in the middle. No,

0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:20.720
<v Speaker 2>I think you're right. I think those are Holy crap.

0:07:20.920 --> 0:07:24.600
<v Speaker 1>A couple of them are clearly like some dead soldiers.

0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:25.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what that thing in the middle.

0:07:25.880 --> 0:07:28.920
<v Speaker 4>Okay, one other building we haven't named the over his

0:07:28.920 --> 0:07:30.880
<v Speaker 4>his right shoulder on the left side.

0:07:31.120 --> 0:07:33.720
<v Speaker 2>What is that? Is that a church? Is that the Vatican?

0:07:33.880 --> 0:07:34.040
<v Speaker 4>Is it?

0:07:34.080 --> 0:07:36.840
<v Speaker 2>What is that? Or it looks like it's got a

0:07:36.880 --> 0:07:37.960
<v Speaker 2>cross on top of it.

0:07:39.400 --> 0:07:44.240
<v Speaker 1>That's not like, uh, is that part of the Vatican

0:07:44.400 --> 0:07:46.680
<v Speaker 1>or that I don't know what that is?

0:07:46.720 --> 0:07:51.119
<v Speaker 4>Something I like some some some church of some sort.

0:07:51.640 --> 0:07:58.280
<v Speaker 4>This is his all time inappropriate And that's a heck

0:07:58.320 --> 0:07:59.360
<v Speaker 4>of a statement I just made.

0:08:00.160 --> 0:08:04.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, wow, Okay, all right, we'll post it at Armstrong

0:08:04.160 --> 0:08:06.160
<v Speaker 1>and Geddy dot com so you can see it and

0:08:06.240 --> 0:08:06.920
<v Speaker 1>judge for yourself.

0:08:06.920 --> 0:08:09.360
<v Speaker 2>We'll get that up there immediately. Yeah, I demand it.

0:08:09.560 --> 0:08:15.760
<v Speaker 4>How are so like if you're really into the belief

0:08:15.840 --> 0:08:20.840
<v Speaker 4>that Trump is out to save Christianity and so was

0:08:20.920 --> 0:08:23.600
<v Speaker 4>Victor orbon And that's why JD. Vance was over there

0:08:23.640 --> 0:08:25.920
<v Speaker 4>and hungry over the weekend last week trying to get

0:08:26.000 --> 0:08:26.480
<v Speaker 4>him elected.

0:08:26.480 --> 0:08:30.600
<v Speaker 2>He lost big. You know, that's the whole pucker Carlson.

0:08:31.880 --> 0:08:36.640
<v Speaker 1>Orthodox Eastern Christianity is going to stamp out the queer thing.

0:08:36.800 --> 0:08:41.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, does that crowd like this sort of thing Trump?

0:08:43.559 --> 0:08:50.640
<v Speaker 2>Or is that blasphemous? Well, it's clearly blasphemous. It's one

0:08:50.640 --> 0:08:52.920
<v Speaker 2>of the most things I've ever seen in my life.

0:08:54.360 --> 0:09:01.480
<v Speaker 4>Puts the ass back in blasphemous from the past from us.

0:09:01.640 --> 0:09:04.000
<v Speaker 4>We probably should stop now.

0:09:04.360 --> 0:09:06.840
<v Speaker 2>I plan to yes, yes, please.

0:09:07.280 --> 0:09:09.559
<v Speaker 1>Anyway, So the blockade started what an hour and a

0:09:09.640 --> 0:09:11.000
<v Speaker 1>quarter ago, according to the.

0:09:11.040 --> 0:09:11.920
<v Speaker 2>US Central Command.

0:09:12.600 --> 0:09:15.800
<v Speaker 1>If the rest of the world can't ship, neither can

0:09:15.840 --> 0:09:19.040
<v Speaker 1>you around, says Trump. And we'll see if the shooting starts.

0:09:19.160 --> 0:09:21.959
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to retweet this picture just because i want

0:09:21.960 --> 0:09:23.000
<v Speaker 2>to know what people think of it.

0:09:23.679 --> 0:09:26.560
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, yeah, word from our friends that Trust and

0:09:26.880 --> 0:09:31.240
<v Speaker 1>Will good to have them back. Trust and Will's platform

0:09:31.679 --> 0:09:35.000
<v Speaker 1>makes it easy to create your will or trust online.

0:09:35.800 --> 0:09:38.200
<v Speaker 1>Judy and I have everything in our trust for a

0:09:38.320 --> 0:09:42.400
<v Speaker 1>lot of really really important reasons. It's such a relief

0:09:42.440 --> 0:09:44.600
<v Speaker 1>to have a peace of mind, you know, have the

0:09:44.679 --> 0:09:48.560
<v Speaker 1>estate planning and everything, and protect our assets from crazy

0:09:48.600 --> 0:09:49.560
<v Speaker 1>lawsuits or whatever.

0:09:49.640 --> 0:09:51.720
<v Speaker 2>Trust and Will is a great way to get that done.

0:09:52.960 --> 0:09:55.520
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's state specific, you know, taylor to your needs

0:09:55.520 --> 0:09:57.840

<v Speaker 2>Man oh Man, oh Man.

0:10:34.440 --> 0:10:40.040
<v Speaker 4>For some reason, the Trump Jesus post has thrown me

0:10:40.080 --> 0:10:42.080
<v Speaker 4>for a loop. I feel like I'm a little lost

0:10:42.160 --> 0:10:44.520
<v Speaker 4>right now. I don't know what to think of that

0:10:45.880 --> 0:10:49.040
<v Speaker 4>because I'm on board, like he's thinking on Iran. I

0:10:49.160 --> 0:10:52.840
<v Speaker 4>think I think Iran was good. Every president has said

0:10:52.840 --> 0:10:54.439
<v Speaker 4>Iran's trying to get a nuclear open. We got to

0:10:54.440 --> 0:10:57.320
<v Speaker 4>stop him. Nobody was actually willing to do anything. Trump

0:10:57.320 --> 0:11:00.480
<v Speaker 4>actually did something. I still think at this point it

0:11:00.480 --> 0:11:05.319
<v Speaker 4>was a good idea, uh that I don't know what that.

0:11:05.360 --> 0:11:09.080
<v Speaker 2>Post is, Uh, you know what it is is? Uh?

0:11:09.520 --> 0:11:11.520
<v Speaker 2>And I remember this from the campaigns.

0:11:12.559 --> 0:11:15.920
<v Speaker 1>Trump has a weird relationship with like blue collar America,

0:11:16.000 --> 0:11:24.280
<v Speaker 1>heartland America, Evangelical or Protestant America, in that he expresses

0:11:24.320 --> 0:11:27.880
<v Speaker 1>great affection for them, but he has no idea how

0:11:27.880 --> 0:11:32.840
<v Speaker 1>they think and how they live, really, and and those folks,

0:11:33.320 --> 0:11:37.559
<v Speaker 1>having received nothing but derision and judgment from the left

0:11:37.600 --> 0:11:40.920
<v Speaker 1>for decades now years and years certainly are like, oh

0:11:40.920 --> 0:11:43.160
<v Speaker 1>my god, he says, you know, we're good people who

0:11:43.240 --> 0:11:45.840
<v Speaker 1>care about our country and our families, and we're good people,

0:11:46.080 --> 0:11:47.360
<v Speaker 1>and by God, that's refreshing.

0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:49.439
<v Speaker 2>But Trump has I mean the.

0:11:49.400 --> 0:11:53.199
<v Speaker 1>Bible, you know, the greatest book ever written, maybe except

0:11:53.240 --> 0:11:56.200
<v Speaker 1>for the Art of the Deal. I mean, he has

0:11:56.360 --> 0:11:58.920
<v Speaker 1>no idea of the thinking and what those people actually say.

0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:01.880
<v Speaker 2>And this I think is just a misstep.

0:12:01.920 --> 0:12:07.320
<v Speaker 1>He doesn't understand Christianity because he's an atheist, I'm sure. Uh,

0:12:07.360 --> 0:12:09.360
<v Speaker 1>And he doesn't understand how far over the line this

0:12:09.480 --> 0:12:10.440
<v Speaker 1>is from a lot of folks.

0:12:10.559 --> 0:12:14.800
<v Speaker 2>Doubt he's thought that much about it, right right? Uh?

0:12:14.800 --> 0:12:16.760
<v Speaker 4>Well that is something Well anyway, I tweeted out, want

0:12:16.800 --> 0:12:17.840
<v Speaker 4>to know what you think of it, or you can

0:12:17.880 --> 0:12:19.760
<v Speaker 4>text us think of that sort of thing.

0:12:19.800 --> 0:12:21.839
<v Speaker 2>I just, I'm just, I'm just.

0:12:21.880 --> 0:12:24.360
<v Speaker 4>I don't know how it's received by all y'all, I

0:12:24.360 --> 0:12:25.320
<v Speaker 4>guess is my question.

0:12:26.040 --> 0:12:28.920
<v Speaker 2>I think it'll be a micro blip. Hoh shirt.

0:12:29.000 --> 0:12:31.719
<v Speaker 1>The shooting starts very soon, oh shirt. It's a very

0:12:31.720 --> 0:12:32.559
<v Speaker 1>trumpy thing to do.

0:12:32.600 --> 0:12:35.160
<v Speaker 4>It's almost guaranteed to be some shooting today, isn't there?

0:12:35.720 --> 0:12:38.719
<v Speaker 4>Iran isn't just going to allow that blockade to happen.

0:12:38.480 --> 0:12:41.640
<v Speaker 2>Are they? Uh no?

0:12:41.640 --> 0:12:44.240
<v Speaker 1>No, they might calculate for a little while figure out

0:12:44.280 --> 0:12:46.120
<v Speaker 1>how best to strike. So it might be a couple

0:12:46.160 --> 0:12:48.720
<v Speaker 1>of days till something crazy happens. But something crazy will happen.

0:12:48.840 --> 0:12:49.360
<v Speaker 2>Oh boy.

0:12:51.360 --> 0:12:54.040
<v Speaker 1>They may hit some ports, and you know they may

0:12:54.120 --> 0:12:56.440
<v Speaker 1>hit you Bai again or Saudi or who knows.

0:12:58.040 --> 0:12:59.280
<v Speaker 4>We got a lot we need to get to. There's

0:12:59.280 --> 0:13:03.760
<v Speaker 4>another big Ai story that's out, among other things. Stay here, Army,

0:13:03.760 --> 0:13:04.720
<v Speaker 4>Strawn and Getty.

0:13:06.760 --> 0:13:08.960
<v Speaker 3>Practicing fat defiance in twenty twenty six.

0:13:10.360 --> 0:13:13.760
<v Speaker 5>I've been fat practicing fat defiance for many, many years

0:13:14.280 --> 0:13:15.480
<v Speaker 5>in twenty twenty six.

0:13:16.080 --> 0:13:18.160
<v Speaker 3>Well, I'm going to keep doing that by continuing to

0:13:18.280 --> 0:13:19.920
<v Speaker 3>the NAPA and civil rights work.

0:13:20.320 --> 0:13:22.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm also going to do it by wearing whenever I

0:13:22.520 --> 0:13:25.000
<v Speaker 2>want to, at whatever.

0:13:24.720 --> 0:13:28.800
<v Speaker 5>Size I happen to be in twenty twenty six, bigger, smaller, same,

0:13:28.960 --> 0:13:29.720
<v Speaker 5>whatever it is.

0:13:30.320 --> 0:13:32.800
<v Speaker 2>That's how I'm defying the standards.

0:13:32.400 --> 0:13:34.200
<v Speaker 4>Of being told what I'm supposed to do with my

0:13:34.240 --> 0:13:36.560
<v Speaker 4>body and doing what I want to do with my body.

0:13:36.559 --> 0:13:41.880
<v Speaker 4>And I know that's right, practicing fat defiance in twenty six.

0:13:43.559 --> 0:13:45.559
<v Speaker 2>That's people at fat Con. What's fat Con?

0:13:46.640 --> 0:13:49.280
<v Speaker 1>It's like comic Con for the overweight. I guess you

0:13:49.360 --> 0:13:53.240
<v Speaker 1>get together and celebrate being large.

0:13:55.360 --> 0:13:57.320
<v Speaker 4>This is a tough topic. Bill Maher talks about this

0:13:57.360 --> 0:13:59.560
<v Speaker 4>a lot on a show. You know, it's probably tough

0:13:59.559 --> 0:14:04.240
<v Speaker 4>coming from me, rail thin vegetarian, but who smokes.

0:14:06.400 --> 0:14:08.720
<v Speaker 2>You know, there's there's both of both ends of it.

0:14:08.760 --> 0:14:10.000
<v Speaker 2>Something's going on with.

0:14:09.880 --> 0:14:14.480
<v Speaker 4>Our food or whatever that that some people can get

0:14:14.520 --> 0:14:16.800
<v Speaker 4>as big as they are that just never happened in

0:14:16.800 --> 0:14:17.240
<v Speaker 4>the past.

0:14:18.280 --> 0:14:20.760
<v Speaker 2>It wasn't what Katie, you're blaming it on the food.

0:14:20.920 --> 0:14:22.680
<v Speaker 4>Well, I don't know what it is, but there's something

0:14:22.720 --> 0:14:24.920
<v Speaker 4>going on that allows some people to get.

0:14:24.760 --> 0:14:28.840
<v Speaker 2>Like really really really big that just never happened in

0:14:28.880 --> 0:14:30.360
<v Speaker 2>the past.

0:14:30.800 --> 0:14:33.920
<v Speaker 4>And I don't know what that is, but to pretend

0:14:33.960 --> 0:14:37.800
<v Speaker 4>that it's healthy and something to be proud of is

0:14:38.000 --> 0:14:39.040
<v Speaker 4>kind of a weird direction.

0:14:39.160 --> 0:14:42.520
<v Speaker 1>To go boy in the hole. And it's mostly young women,

0:14:42.560 --> 0:14:46.080
<v Speaker 1>of course, but the whole I'm defiant. I'm a rebel

0:14:46.240 --> 0:14:49.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm a practically a gorilla warrior.

0:14:48.960 --> 0:14:51.360
<v Speaker 2>For one cause or another thing. My gut. That's tiresome

0:14:51.400 --> 0:14:51.800
<v Speaker 2>of these days.

0:14:51.840 --> 0:14:53.440
<v Speaker 4>Anyway, I don't want to get sidetracked by this because

0:14:53.440 --> 0:14:55.040
<v Speaker 4>I got this story, Katie. I've already told Joe a

0:14:55.080 --> 0:14:58.280
<v Speaker 4>little bit of it. We had the story last week

0:14:58.280 --> 0:15:00.840
<v Speaker 4>about Southwest Airlines was going to start cracking down on

0:15:00.880 --> 0:15:03.400
<v Speaker 4>people that are too big for one seat, making them

0:15:03.400 --> 0:15:06.640
<v Speaker 4>buy another seat. And then the pushback was, well, you're

0:15:06.680 --> 0:15:09.560
<v Speaker 4>profiling people, And of course the answer is yes, We're

0:15:09.600 --> 0:15:11.360
<v Speaker 4>looking at people that look like they're too big for

0:15:11.400 --> 0:15:13.960
<v Speaker 4>one seat, and then you know, going and measuring them

0:15:14.000 --> 0:15:15.400
<v Speaker 4>and if they're too big for one seat, we're gonna

0:15:15.440 --> 0:15:15.840
<v Speaker 4>charge them two.

0:15:15.840 --> 0:15:16.000
<v Speaker 2>Take.

0:15:16.280 --> 0:15:19.360
<v Speaker 4>Well, they either backed off that or haven't implemented the

0:15:19.400 --> 0:15:23.120
<v Speaker 4>strategy or missed one or something. Because this woman sat

0:15:23.160 --> 0:15:25.920
<v Speaker 4>in the middle seat with me on Southwest coming back

0:15:25.960 --> 0:15:29.240
<v Speaker 4>from which talk Kansas and uh and you know, God

0:15:29.280 --> 0:15:32.960
<v Speaker 4>bless her. I don't know how she ended up this big.

0:15:33.160 --> 0:15:35.640
<v Speaker 4>Could be no fault of her own whatever, let's leave

0:15:35.680 --> 0:15:39.520
<v Speaker 4>that out of it. She was five hundred pounds. If

0:15:39.520 --> 0:15:43.560
<v Speaker 4>she was five pounds, and I mean she started to

0:15:43.560 --> 0:15:46.200
<v Speaker 4>get in, I thought, how's she even gonna get into this.

0:15:46.720 --> 0:15:47.960
<v Speaker 2>How's she even gonna get through.

0:15:47.840 --> 0:15:51.520
<v Speaker 4>The And she pushed up both the arm things because

0:15:51.520 --> 0:15:52.400
<v Speaker 4>there's no way she could.

0:15:52.240 --> 0:15:54.720
<v Speaker 2>Sit between the arm things. I think she sat in the.

0:15:54.680 --> 0:15:56.600
<v Speaker 4>Middle because if she sat in the window, you know,

0:15:56.640 --> 0:15:59.120
<v Speaker 4>the wall doesn't move, and if she sat in the aisle,

0:15:59.200 --> 0:16:00.960
<v Speaker 4>she'd be in the aisle people couldn't get through.

0:16:01.120 --> 0:16:03.000
<v Speaker 2>So she sits in the middle, and she.

0:16:03.280 --> 0:16:06.680
<v Speaker 4>Was easily half of my seat and the end the

0:16:06.720 --> 0:16:10.440
<v Speaker 4>seat on the other side. And I'm basically turned flat

0:16:11.640 --> 0:16:13.840
<v Speaker 4>up against the wall like I'm a lizard on the

0:16:13.840 --> 0:16:15.760
<v Speaker 4>wall or something like that, with my arm's out and

0:16:15.760 --> 0:16:17.200
<v Speaker 4>one leg crossed over the other.

0:16:17.520 --> 0:16:19.960
<v Speaker 2>That's the way I sat for two hours? How is

0:16:19.960 --> 0:16:22.800
<v Speaker 2>that fair to you? As a bank I paid full price?

0:16:24.040 --> 0:16:26.920
<v Speaker 1>And did you at any point did you think of

0:16:27.160 --> 0:16:29.440
<v Speaker 1>excusing yourself and going and talk to his stewardess?

0:16:29.640 --> 0:16:29.800
<v Speaker 4>No?

0:16:30.120 --> 0:16:30.760
<v Speaker 2>No, I did not.

0:16:30.920 --> 0:16:32.920
<v Speaker 4>I was super tired. I thought maybe I can sleep

0:16:33.000 --> 0:16:36.120
<v Speaker 4>like this. I was so tired because we flew out

0:16:36.120 --> 0:16:37.200
<v Speaker 4>at like sixth in the morning.

0:16:37.680 --> 0:16:39.040
<v Speaker 2>But I don't. I didn't know what to do.

0:16:39.080 --> 0:16:41.720
<v Speaker 4>If it had been my son, with all these OCD problems,

0:16:41.720 --> 0:16:43.360
<v Speaker 4>he would have not been able to handle it.

0:16:43.720 --> 0:16:45.520
<v Speaker 2>So he pressed up against them the whole time.

0:16:45.600 --> 0:16:47.760
<v Speaker 4>I don't know, well, first of all, going to talk

0:16:47.840 --> 0:16:49.680
<v Speaker 4>unless I want to have this conversation in front of

0:16:49.720 --> 0:16:51.160
<v Speaker 4>the lady, which would be awful.

0:16:52.000 --> 0:16:53.600
<v Speaker 2>How was I going to get out? I mean, there

0:16:53.640 --> 0:16:55.040
<v Speaker 2>was no way I could go to the bathroom.

0:16:55.080 --> 0:16:58.320
<v Speaker 4>That's not even on the not even an option for

0:16:58.360 --> 0:17:00.000
<v Speaker 4>me at any point during the flight, Say hey, could

0:17:00.120 --> 0:17:01.840
<v Speaker 4>excuse me so I could get out, because there's just

0:17:01.880 --> 0:17:04.919
<v Speaker 4>no way that she could. I mean, it's such a

0:17:05.040 --> 0:17:07.080
<v Speaker 4>process for her to get in there for her to

0:17:07.080 --> 0:17:08.720
<v Speaker 4>get out, so I could have gone to the bathroom.

0:17:08.760 --> 0:17:10.240
<v Speaker 4>So I'd had to do that and go talk to

0:17:10.320 --> 0:17:13.720
<v Speaker 4>an air stewardess and say, look, I paid full price,

0:17:13.760 --> 0:17:15.440
<v Speaker 4>I got half a seat. Can I get either get

0:17:15.440 --> 0:17:17.359
<v Speaker 4>half my money back or move? But it was a

0:17:17.359 --> 0:17:19.480
<v Speaker 4>full flight, so somebody was gonna have to sit there.

0:17:20.119 --> 0:17:22.320
<v Speaker 4>Oh boy, But they got to figure that out. Oh.

0:17:22.400 --> 0:17:24.080
<v Speaker 4>It was the first time I'd ever seen anybody actually

0:17:24.119 --> 0:17:26.840
<v Speaker 4>use an extension. She had the extension with her all

0:17:26.920 --> 0:17:30.040
<v Speaker 4>rolled up, and she sat down and she reached like

0:17:30.160 --> 0:17:32.480
<v Speaker 4>over into my seat and clicked it on and spread

0:17:32.520 --> 0:17:34.760
<v Speaker 4>it out and wrapped it all the way around her

0:17:36.200 --> 0:17:38.000
<v Speaker 4>and then clicked it in it was like an extra

0:17:38.080 --> 0:17:41.280
<v Speaker 4>three feet and then she rested her arms on top

0:17:41.320 --> 0:17:44.679
<v Speaker 4>of her body and then sat there like that for

0:17:45.080 --> 0:17:45.480
<v Speaker 4>two hours.

0:17:45.680 --> 0:17:47.919
<v Speaker 6>Meanwhile, if the top of your backpack sticks out an

0:17:47.920 --> 0:17:50.280
<v Speaker 6>inch from the seat under beneath in front of you,

0:17:50.359 --> 0:17:51.840
<v Speaker 6>a dicer right.

0:17:52.000 --> 0:17:54.119
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, if there had been like an emergency, we

0:17:54.160 --> 0:17:54.760
<v Speaker 4>got to get out.

0:17:54.800 --> 0:17:55.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm dying.

0:17:55.320 --> 0:17:57.199
<v Speaker 4>There's no getting out of there because she can't get

0:17:57.320 --> 0:18:00.520
<v Speaker 4>up and I can't get out. So I don't know, Southwest,

0:18:00.520 --> 0:18:02.720
<v Speaker 4>you're not being too picky. I feel bad for that woman,

0:18:02.760 --> 0:18:05.960
<v Speaker 4>but that is insane. That just can't happen.

0:18:07.800 --> 0:18:08.919
<v Speaker 2>Armstrong and Getty.

0:18:10.280 --> 0:18:12.440
<v Speaker 7>Let's start off with Tucker Carlson, who has been in

0:18:12.600 --> 0:18:15.240
<v Speaker 7>absolute free fall with Republicans.

0:18:15.280 --> 0:18:16.399
<v Speaker 2>I mean, just take a look at this.

0:18:16.600 --> 0:18:19.440
<v Speaker 7>Look at this trend line. Tucker Carlson's net favorable back

0:18:19.480 --> 0:18:21.639
<v Speaker 7>in March of twenty twenty four, when he and Donald

0:18:21.680 --> 0:18:23.200
<v Speaker 7>Trump were very close friends.

0:18:23.200 --> 0:18:23.560
<v Speaker 2>Look at this.

0:18:23.680 --> 0:18:25.280
<v Speaker 7>He was at plus fifty four points.

0:18:25.440 --> 0:18:26.400
<v Speaker 2>Look at where he.

0:18:26.320 --> 0:18:30.520
<v Speaker 7>Is today at only plus seven points among Republicans, and

0:18:30.560 --> 0:18:32.560
<v Speaker 7>that includes GOP leaning independence.

0:18:32.760 --> 0:18:33.720
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that is a.

0:18:33.720 --> 0:18:38.160
<v Speaker 7>Drop of what forty seven percentage points? My goodness, gracious,

0:18:38.320 --> 0:18:40.960
<v Speaker 7>when you go up against Donald Trump and you want

0:18:41.000 --> 0:18:43.320
<v Speaker 7>to appeal to the Republican base to quote the movie

0:18:43.359 --> 0:18:45.399
<v Speaker 7>Good Burger, you go on the grinder, and that is

0:18:45.440 --> 0:18:48.240
<v Speaker 7>exactly what has happened to Tucker Carlson, who is absolutely

0:18:48.280 --> 0:18:49.879
<v Speaker 7>collapsed among Republicans.

0:18:49.880 --> 0:18:53.760
<v Speaker 2>Well, is it all that because he went against Trump or.

0:18:53.680 --> 0:18:59.520
<v Speaker 4>Because he outed himself as either completely nuts or shilling

0:18:59.600 --> 0:19:02.879
<v Speaker 4>for some enemy of the of the United States, one.

0:19:02.760 --> 0:19:07.119
<v Speaker 1>Of Tucker Catarlson as they call him, right, yeah, yeah.

0:19:07.119 --> 0:19:10.119
<v Speaker 1>On the other hand, more people should quote the media

0:19:10.240 --> 0:19:11.640
<v Speaker 1>the movie Good Burger.

0:19:11.960 --> 0:19:15.280
<v Speaker 2>I well well done, Harriet. My kids love that movie.

0:19:15.800 --> 0:19:20.760
<v Speaker 4>With a young Keenan Thompson, I went from what I

0:19:20.840 --> 0:19:23.520
<v Speaker 4>used to watch Tucker every single night on Fox and

0:19:23.680 --> 0:19:26.320
<v Speaker 4>loved a lot of his stuff too. I think he's

0:19:26.359 --> 0:19:29.280
<v Speaker 4>one of the most dangerous, awful human beings on earth.

0:19:29.600 --> 0:19:31.760
<v Speaker 4>And it's not because he went up against Trump that

0:19:31.840 --> 0:19:32.320
<v Speaker 4>I think that.

0:19:32.960 --> 0:19:33.840
<v Speaker 2>No, not at all.

0:19:34.440 --> 0:19:36.200
<v Speaker 1>So I want to talk a little bit about the

0:19:36.240 --> 0:19:39.480
<v Speaker 1>conspiracy theory thing. And we're all familiar with the various

0:19:39.800 --> 0:19:42.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, QAnon Ish or what have you, the current

0:19:43.280 --> 0:19:46.639
<v Speaker 1>bizarro Candace Owens, Tucker, it's always the Jews stuff in

0:19:46.680 --> 0:19:49.719
<v Speaker 1>the psychology behind it by one of our favorite authors.

0:19:49.720 --> 0:19:52.520
<v Speaker 1>But just By way of example, here is Candace's own

0:19:52.600 --> 0:19:56.960
<v Speaker 1>teas for her show, this week on Candace and this

0:19:57.040 --> 0:20:00.000
<v Speaker 1>was last week, but this week on kandas Candace owens Crosshatchet,

0:20:00.160 --> 0:20:03.120
<v Speaker 1>a link between bb net and not Yaho, Mitt Romney,

0:20:03.160 --> 0:20:06.879
<v Speaker 1>the CIA in Brigham Young University in Utah. All of this, however,

0:20:06.960 --> 0:20:09.840
<v Speaker 1>ties back to the Charlie Kirk assassination and the lingering

0:20:09.920 --> 0:20:13.959
<v Speaker 1>questions surrounding it. As alleged shooter Tyler Robinson's trial begins

0:20:14.000 --> 0:20:16.919
<v Speaker 1>already filled with holes, Candace is determined to get to

0:20:16.920 --> 0:20:19.280
<v Speaker 1>the truth no matter the cost. Then she mentions the

0:20:19.320 --> 0:20:22.600
<v Speaker 1>CIA and Erica Kirk and whatever. Okay, so that's her

0:20:22.640 --> 0:20:25.640
<v Speaker 1>own teas for the show. And then the actual producer

0:20:25.680 --> 0:20:30.680
<v Speaker 1>of the Charlie Kirk Show responding to Candace trolling him

0:20:30.760 --> 0:20:33.520
<v Speaker 1>saying why haven't you played the video blah blah blah

0:20:33.560 --> 0:20:36.600
<v Speaker 1>of something to do with that whole grand theory, and

0:20:36.680 --> 0:20:39.840
<v Speaker 1>Blake Neff, the producer of The Charlie Kirk Show, writes, Candace,

0:20:39.880 --> 0:20:43.440
<v Speaker 1>we haven't bothered playing it because we know psychopathic predators

0:20:43.480 --> 0:20:45.399
<v Speaker 1>like yourself do not care what is true or false,

0:20:45.440 --> 0:20:49.439
<v Speaker 1>and normal evidential your logic, evidentiary logic has no effect

0:20:49.520 --> 0:20:51.960
<v Speaker 1>on you. You're the kind of person who sees coded messages

0:20:52.000 --> 0:20:54.720
<v Speaker 1>in the number thirty three, but then ignores evidence like

0:20:54.800 --> 0:20:57.879
<v Speaker 1>DNA on a rifle or Tyler Robinson's own family members

0:20:57.920 --> 0:20:59.760
<v Speaker 1>turning him in playing the audio.

0:21:00.359 --> 0:21:01.080
<v Speaker 2>Blah blah blah.

0:21:01.080 --> 0:21:03.639
<v Speaker 1>You're obviously you'll just say it's an AI or hologrammar

0:21:03.680 --> 0:21:06.439
<v Speaker 1>an Israeli actor or something. So what's the point We

0:21:06.480 --> 0:21:08.919
<v Speaker 1>gave out the possibility of any good faith conversation with

0:21:08.960 --> 0:21:11.000
<v Speaker 1>you months ago. It's like trying to reason with a

0:21:11.040 --> 0:21:14.000
<v Speaker 1>maniac brandishing a knife and screaming at people on the subway.

0:21:14.200 --> 0:21:15.919
<v Speaker 2>You're the same thing. Does she.

0:21:17.680 --> 0:21:20.600
<v Speaker 4>An act? Or is she actually a maniac? That's what

0:21:20.640 --> 0:21:21.919
<v Speaker 4>I don't know about her or Tucker.

0:21:23.240 --> 0:21:26.240
<v Speaker 1>I assume that people run these things are an act.

0:21:26.480 --> 0:21:29.320
<v Speaker 1>They've just understood the psychology we're about to talk about

0:21:29.320 --> 0:21:32.159
<v Speaker 1>and realized you can make obscene riches.

0:21:32.320 --> 0:21:33.359
<v Speaker 2>Isn't manipulating people?

0:21:33.440 --> 0:21:35.360
<v Speaker 4>Isn't that what we found out about Alex Jones when

0:21:35.359 --> 0:21:37.040
<v Speaker 4>he was in the courtroom. In fact, he said that

0:21:37.080 --> 0:21:38.800
<v Speaker 4>in the courtroom, right, Look, it's an act.

0:21:39.480 --> 0:21:41.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm an entertainer. People love this.

0:21:42.440 --> 0:21:45.560
<v Speaker 1>They've figured out the psychology I'm about to talk about

0:21:45.840 --> 0:21:49.160
<v Speaker 1>and quoting Arthur Brooks here. We've quoted a couple of times.

0:21:49.160 --> 0:21:51.040
<v Speaker 1>He now writes for the Free Press about matters of

0:21:51.080 --> 0:21:52.520
<v Speaker 1>happiness and psychology, and that's sort of.

0:21:52.520 --> 0:21:55.080
<v Speaker 4>Hey, you got a new book out that's damned interesting. Yeah,

0:21:55.080 --> 0:21:56.680
<v Speaker 4>he's super smart. Love Arthur Brooks.

0:21:56.680 --> 0:22:01.400
<v Speaker 1>Anyway, quote they were kidnapping our loved ones and replacing

0:22:01.440 --> 0:22:04.000
<v Speaker 1>them with a bitter, hollow shell of what they once were,

0:22:04.320 --> 0:22:06.920
<v Speaker 1>which sounds like a line from Invasion of the Body

0:22:06.920 --> 0:22:10.440
<v Speaker 1>Snatchers or something about aliens from a dying planet coming

0:22:10.440 --> 0:22:12.959
<v Speaker 1>to Earth blah blah blah, you replacing humans, But it's not.

0:22:13.080 --> 0:22:15.440
<v Speaker 1>It's actually a quote from a recent study in the

0:22:15.520 --> 0:22:19.439
<v Speaker 1>Journal of Social and Personal Relationships about the QAnon conspiracy theory.

0:22:19.840 --> 0:22:22.119
<v Speaker 1>We atch alleges that the governmental lead is dominated by

0:22:22.119 --> 0:22:26.640
<v Speaker 1>a secret cabal of Satan worshiping, cannibalistic deep state pedophiles. Again,

0:22:26.720 --> 0:22:29.200
<v Speaker 1>the quote is, they're kidnapping our loved ones and replacing

0:22:29.240 --> 0:22:31.960
<v Speaker 1>them with a bitter, hollow shell of what they once were.

0:22:32.359 --> 0:22:33.880
<v Speaker 2>Yes, you heard right.

0:22:34.280 --> 0:22:39.439
<v Speaker 4>Cannibalistic, Yes, yes, I mean if they were merely Satan

0:22:39.520 --> 0:22:43.199
<v Speaker 4>worshiping deep state pedophiles, that would be bad enough, But

0:22:43.280 --> 0:22:45.800
<v Speaker 4>by God, the cannibalism is one step too far from

0:22:45.800 --> 0:22:46.719
<v Speaker 4>me anyway.

0:22:46.840 --> 0:22:49.520
<v Speaker 1>Participants in these studies described watching the theory take hold

0:22:49.560 --> 0:22:52.919
<v Speaker 1>of their friends and family members, transforming them beyond recognition.

0:22:53.160 --> 0:22:56.200
<v Speaker 1>Perhaps this scenario sounds familiar to you. You too, may

0:22:56.240 --> 0:22:59.320
<v Speaker 1>know someone who started doing his own research quote unquote,

0:22:59.320 --> 0:23:04.240
<v Speaker 1>well that's the exact that's the exact phrase on politics, science,

0:23:04.320 --> 0:23:06.840
<v Speaker 1>or the economy, then went down an internet rabbit hole

0:23:06.880 --> 0:23:09.479
<v Speaker 1>of posts claiming that some event or phenomenon was plotted

0:23:09.480 --> 0:23:12.160
<v Speaker 1>by a clan, destined group of powerful people are organizations,

0:23:12.359 --> 0:23:15.840
<v Speaker 1>usually with sinister or malevolent intentions. Before you know it,

0:23:15.960 --> 0:23:18.600
<v Speaker 1>he or she seems like a different person. His new

0:23:18.640 --> 0:23:21.680
<v Speaker 1>beliefs dominate conversations and ruin relationships.

0:23:21.920 --> 0:23:23.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm obsessive ding ding.

0:23:24.680 --> 0:23:28.679
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and then they And then he goes into the

0:23:28.680 --> 0:23:32.240
<v Speaker 1>fact that our current news cycle has no shortage of

0:23:32.400 --> 0:23:37.919
<v Speaker 1>online influencers peddling even more, ever more outlandish theories. And

0:23:37.960 --> 0:23:39.960
<v Speaker 1>then he gets into the field of psychology trying to

0:23:40.040 --> 0:23:43.760
<v Speaker 1>understand why people adopt conspiracy theories. And and there are

0:23:43.800 --> 0:23:46.120
<v Speaker 1>some explanations, like in the past few years.

0:23:45.960 --> 0:23:48.240
<v Speaker 2>That have come out that are just they're dumb.

0:23:48.359 --> 0:23:50.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm not even gonna waste your time on them about

0:23:50.359 --> 0:23:54.840
<v Speaker 1>narcissism or deficiencies and intelligence, because that's clearly not true.

0:23:56.119 --> 0:23:56.880
<v Speaker 2>He quotes JD.

0:23:57.040 --> 0:24:00.159
<v Speaker 1>Vance as saying when when Susye Wild said he is

0:24:00.160 --> 0:24:04.320
<v Speaker 1>a conspiracy theory for a decade, Vance cleverly responded by

0:24:04.359 --> 0:24:07.080
<v Speaker 1>saying he believes only in the conspiracy theories that are true.

0:24:08.160 --> 0:24:10.960
<v Speaker 1>And then they touch on that a lot of conspiracies

0:24:11.080 --> 0:24:16.639
<v Speaker 1>are conspiracies, whether the untreated syphilis study at Tuskegee, the

0:24:17.920 --> 0:24:22.040
<v Speaker 1>official discrediting of the lab leak origin of the coronavirus pandemic,

0:24:23.040 --> 0:24:25.840
<v Speaker 1>and then it turned out that was clearly and always

0:24:26.000 --> 0:24:30.960
<v Speaker 1>was the most plausible explanation, and they were called nothing

0:24:30.960 --> 0:24:34.840
<v Speaker 1>more than anti Chinese conspiracy theories. But even if conspiracy

0:24:34.880 --> 0:24:38.040
<v Speaker 1>theories are completely fictitious and well nuts, it doesn't require

0:24:38.040 --> 0:24:40.880
<v Speaker 1>a person to be a stupid narcissist to embrace them. Rather,

0:24:40.960 --> 0:24:44.040
<v Speaker 1>and let's get down to the main point of this, Rather,

0:24:44.080 --> 0:24:46.840
<v Speaker 1>psychologists believe that these narratives can be so compelling to

0:24:46.920 --> 0:24:50.000
<v Speaker 1>regular people because they meet three deep human needs. The

0:24:50.040 --> 0:24:53.680
<v Speaker 1>first is epistemic or epistemic, which refers to the need

0:24:53.760 --> 0:24:57.560
<v Speaker 1>to understand your own environment in an increasingly complex and

0:24:57.640 --> 0:25:02.880
<v Speaker 1>confusing world have that need. The second is existential, which

0:25:02.920 --> 0:25:05.800
<v Speaker 1>is to feel safe and in control of one's environment,

0:25:07.440 --> 0:25:09.560
<v Speaker 1>and the third is social, referring to the need to

0:25:09.600 --> 0:25:12.480
<v Speaker 1>maintain a positive image of one's self and one's social groups.

0:25:12.520 --> 0:25:14.840
<v Speaker 4>Now that one I don't understand. You're hanging out with

0:25:14.880 --> 0:25:19.720
<v Speaker 4>some weird people. If that gives you some social credit. Yeah, yeah, Well,

0:25:20.080 --> 0:25:21.240
<v Speaker 4>he gets into that in a bit.

0:25:21.359 --> 0:25:23.760
<v Speaker 1>But another way to account for these needs is that

0:25:23.760 --> 0:25:26.560
<v Speaker 1>people crave coherence, in other words, an answer to the

0:25:26.640 --> 0:25:29.680
<v Speaker 1>question of why things happen the way they do, from

0:25:29.720 --> 0:25:32.959
<v Speaker 1>the weather to political events and world affairs. According to

0:25:33.000 --> 0:25:36.000
<v Speaker 1>a couple of psychologists, the names coherence is one element

0:25:36.040 --> 0:25:37.960
<v Speaker 1>of the meaning of life. The other two are purpose

0:25:38.000 --> 0:25:40.879
<v Speaker 1>and significance. Without a sense of coherence, one's life is

0:25:41.359 --> 0:25:44.440
<v Speaker 1>bereaft of meaning, in turn, is central to human happiness.

0:25:44.640 --> 0:25:47.600
<v Speaker 4>I understand all these human tendencies, but I feel like

0:25:48.160 --> 0:25:50.399
<v Speaker 4>I could sit down with a lot of the people

0:25:50.440 --> 0:25:52.480
<v Speaker 4>I know who believe some of this stuff and come

0:25:52.560 --> 0:25:58.280
<v Speaker 4>up with a more believable theory that explains everything, usually

0:25:58.320 --> 0:25:59.920
<v Speaker 4>around human greed.

0:26:01.000 --> 0:26:04.920
<v Speaker 1>Right often, yeah, yeah, But he says, the embrace of

0:26:04.960 --> 0:26:06.960
<v Speaker 1>conspiracy theories is a way to gain a sense of

0:26:06.960 --> 0:26:09.680
<v Speaker 1>coherence for people who otherwise lack it. Viewed another way,

0:26:09.880 --> 0:26:16.040
<v Speaker 1>conspiracy theorizing is a lamentation of helplessness because life feels meaningless.

0:26:17.080 --> 0:26:21.000
<v Speaker 1>The crisis of meaning lies behind the psychogeneic epidemic of depression, anxiety,

0:26:21.000 --> 0:26:25.280
<v Speaker 1>and loneliness that afflicts our society today. So the world

0:26:25.359 --> 0:26:31.439
<v Speaker 1>is confusing, it's ugly, it's seemingly random, and if that

0:26:31.600 --> 0:26:35.639
<v Speaker 1>makes you feel helpless, you know, like I agree with

0:26:35.960 --> 0:26:38.120
<v Speaker 1>everything I just said. The world does seem that way.

0:26:38.240 --> 0:26:40.199
<v Speaker 1>My response to it is what are you gonna do?

0:26:41.040 --> 0:26:43.600
<v Speaker 1>But if it gives you a feeling of helplessness, and

0:26:43.640 --> 0:26:46.000
<v Speaker 1>there may be other factors in your psychology that leads

0:26:46.000 --> 0:26:48.440
<v Speaker 1>you there, then life feels meaningless.

0:26:47.920 --> 0:26:49.120
<v Speaker 2>Okay, the other factors.

0:26:49.440 --> 0:26:50.679
<v Speaker 4>I don't know if he gets into this or not,

0:26:50.720 --> 0:26:53.320
<v Speaker 4>because this is my current theory based on a couple

0:26:53.359 --> 0:26:56.000
<v Speaker 4>of people I know. Lice, your life is a mess.

0:26:56.440 --> 0:26:59.560
<v Speaker 4>It's such a mess it would be very hard to

0:26:59.640 --> 0:27:04.040
<v Speaker 4>straighten now, in fact, may be impossible. Latching onto something

0:27:04.119 --> 0:27:09.080
<v Speaker 4>like this gives you way more control of your thoughts

0:27:09.080 --> 0:27:12.720
<v Speaker 4>and emotions than dealing with the mess your life has become.

0:27:12.960 --> 0:27:15.760
<v Speaker 1>So you no longer feel helpless, right, and your life

0:27:15.760 --> 0:27:16.560
<v Speaker 1>has meaning.

0:27:16.680 --> 0:27:20.000
<v Speaker 4>Right, but it's driven there by you made a mess

0:27:20.040 --> 0:27:21.960
<v Speaker 4>of your life. So I wonder how often.

0:27:21.720 --> 0:27:23.240
<v Speaker 2>That happens right?

0:27:23.880 --> 0:27:24.080
<v Speaker 4>Right?

0:27:25.000 --> 0:27:29.360
<v Speaker 1>And then he talks about how religion and civic organizations

0:27:29.400 --> 0:27:32.879
<v Speaker 1>and just being with people has fallen off. So much

0:27:33.359 --> 0:27:35.400
<v Speaker 1>goes into a bunch of data, and it's shocking every

0:27:35.400 --> 0:27:36.840
<v Speaker 1>time I see it. But he said, so where do

0:27:36.920 --> 0:27:39.840
<v Speaker 1>people turn for coherence if they don't trust journalists, doctor,

0:27:39.920 --> 0:27:42.359
<v Speaker 1>scientists and clergy to tell them the truth? The answer

0:27:42.400 --> 0:27:44.600
<v Speaker 1>is the Internet, where once fringe ideas can propagate with

0:27:44.640 --> 0:27:46.320
<v Speaker 1>astonishing speed and efficiency.

0:27:46.400 --> 0:27:49.320
<v Speaker 4>I don't trust any of those people on that list either, certainly,

0:27:49.359 --> 0:27:56.040
<v Speaker 4>not blindly, not even close to right. I'm practically that whole. Uh.

0:27:56.359 --> 0:27:59.880
<v Speaker 4>I don't remember where that comes from. That If you're

0:28:00.000 --> 0:28:02.840
<v Speaker 4>my mother says she loves you, still.

0:28:02.640 --> 0:28:05.400
<v Speaker 2>Get a second source. Yeah, I'm close.

0:28:05.119 --> 0:28:08.639
<v Speaker 4>To that, But that doesn't make me run to Candas

0:28:08.680 --> 0:28:10.320
<v Speaker 4>Owen's or Tucker Carlston for the answer.

0:28:10.520 --> 0:28:13.520
<v Speaker 2>That's what I don't get. Why do you believe them?

0:28:13.760 --> 0:28:15.320
<v Speaker 2>So you don't believe that person? I get it.

0:28:15.359 --> 0:28:17.919
<v Speaker 4>I don't believe that person automatically either, But you believe

0:28:18.080 --> 0:28:20.400
<v Speaker 4>them Candles, And I.

0:28:20.320 --> 0:28:21.800
<v Speaker 2>Guess for all the reasons you just explain.

0:28:22.480 --> 0:28:26.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, and I'm sure it's a certain personality type

0:28:26.160 --> 0:28:29.480
<v Speaker 1>and people in a certain circumstances you so well described.

0:28:30.840 --> 0:28:33.120
<v Speaker 1>It reminds me I didn't get it when I heard

0:28:33.160 --> 0:28:35.840
<v Speaker 1>this the first time, that the most terrifying thing you

0:28:35.880 --> 0:28:38.600
<v Speaker 1>could ever do is spend five minutes in somebody else's mind.

0:28:39.120 --> 0:28:41.880
<v Speaker 1>But now I get it. If I was in somebody's mind,

0:28:41.960 --> 0:28:43.840
<v Speaker 1>who would tend to fall for that sort of thing?

0:28:44.040 --> 0:28:46.000
<v Speaker 1>And maybe it's some of you good folks. And I'm

0:28:46.000 --> 0:28:50.240
<v Speaker 1>not here to judge. I sympathize because you're being led way,

0:28:50.480 --> 0:28:54.640
<v Speaker 1>way astray by these people who are just greed heads.

0:28:55.920 --> 0:28:59.880
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, I don't get it at all. My bowl

0:29:00.320 --> 0:29:02.960
<v Speaker 1>filter or whatever is. I don't know. It's too tight.

0:29:03.000 --> 0:29:08.000
<v Speaker 1>I'd take no credit for it. It might be genetic, but yeah,

0:29:08.000 --> 0:29:10.080
<v Speaker 1>it's troubling. Oh And the one thing that I've thought

0:29:10.120 --> 0:29:12.320
<v Speaker 1>for a long time, and you've heard me say several times,

0:29:12.960 --> 0:29:17.640
<v Speaker 1>is that there was a natural ecosystem of ideas for

0:29:17.760 --> 0:29:22.000
<v Speaker 1>mankind for like our entire existence. Then it changed with

0:29:22.040 --> 0:29:25.360
<v Speaker 1>the printing press. Then it changed more with broadcasting and

0:29:25.400 --> 0:29:28.479
<v Speaker 1>became much more immediate. But then the internet has gone crazy.

0:29:28.800 --> 0:29:32.800
<v Speaker 1>If I had a crazy ass idea. I would bounce

0:29:32.840 --> 0:29:35.440
<v Speaker 1>it off my neighbors and my friends and maybe the

0:29:35.480 --> 0:29:37.880
<v Speaker 1>people I worked with, maybe even a girlfriend or two.

0:29:38.440 --> 0:29:39.440
<v Speaker 2>And if every.

0:29:39.160 --> 0:29:42.360
<v Speaker 1>Single time I got uh, are you serious? Are you

0:29:42.400 --> 0:29:43.000
<v Speaker 1>out of your mind?

0:29:43.200 --> 0:29:43.400
<v Speaker 4>No?

0:29:44.240 --> 0:29:46.520
<v Speaker 2>After a while I think, oh, I must have been mistaken.

0:29:46.640 --> 0:29:49.000
<v Speaker 1>But you go on the internet and there's no idea

0:29:49.120 --> 0:29:50.480
<v Speaker 1>so blank and crazy.

0:29:50.760 --> 0:29:52.080
<v Speaker 2>You can't get an amen.

0:29:51.800 --> 0:29:58.280
<v Speaker 1>From fifteen thousand people like immediately. It's a crazy reinforcement system.

0:29:58.480 --> 0:29:58.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:29:58.920 --> 0:30:02.360
<v Speaker 4>So to the whole con spiracy thing which you described,

0:30:03.640 --> 0:30:06.520
<v Speaker 4>is that one out of one hundred people, one out

0:30:06.560 --> 0:30:09.040
<v Speaker 4>of a million people. What's the numbers on that we

0:30:09.080 --> 0:30:10.320
<v Speaker 4>don't know? And is it growing?

0:30:12.120 --> 0:30:16.440
<v Speaker 2>I wonder? I wonder? So what he goes into. What's

0:30:16.480 --> 0:30:17.720
<v Speaker 2>the solution.

0:30:20.120 --> 0:30:22.560
<v Speaker 1>At the public level, It is to re establish broader

0:30:22.560 --> 0:30:26.080
<v Speaker 1>confidence in our institutions that previously provided a wider sense

0:30:26.120 --> 0:30:26.480
<v Speaker 1>of careage.

0:30:26.520 --> 0:30:29.560
<v Speaker 2>Okay, good, I'll do that this afternoon. I'll get started today, right.

0:30:31.560 --> 0:30:34.280
<v Speaker 1>The solution at the individual level, which involves asking what

0:30:34.320 --> 0:30:35.840
<v Speaker 1>you can do to win back the loved one who

0:30:35.840 --> 0:30:37.880
<v Speaker 1>has gone down the rabbit hole, starts with a bit

0:30:37.880 --> 0:30:42.640
<v Speaker 1>of neuroscience. Researchers have found that conspiracy believers exhibit high

0:30:42.640 --> 0:30:45.960
<v Speaker 1>activation of the ventral medial prefrontal cortex.

0:30:46.160 --> 0:30:47.200
<v Speaker 2>You know, I suspect it.

0:30:47.080 --> 0:30:51.800
<v Speaker 1>So a brain region that's important for self understanding and

0:30:51.840 --> 0:30:55.800
<v Speaker 1>emotional associations. What else do you suppose involves similar high

0:30:55.840 --> 0:31:02.720
<v Speaker 1>activation that provides coherence in our lives? Antique love very

0:31:02.760 --> 0:31:06.320
<v Speaker 1>similar ventro medial prefuntal cortex react.

0:31:06.400 --> 0:31:08.680
<v Speaker 4>So if you know somebody who's a conspiracy net job

0:31:08.760 --> 0:31:10.120
<v Speaker 4>like this, ask him out or hit.

0:31:10.080 --> 0:31:12.480
<v Speaker 1>On them, or love you well if you want to

0:31:12.480 --> 0:31:15.959
<v Speaker 1>get married. Yeah, as does deep friendship. Not coincidentally, these

0:31:16.000 --> 0:31:20.360
<v Speaker 1>phenomena are negatively associated with holding conspiratorial views. Researchers have

0:31:20.480 --> 0:31:24.880
<v Speaker 1>hypothesized that love acts as a protective agent against these ideas,

0:31:25.000 --> 0:31:28.040
<v Speaker 1>whereas social isolation or maybe screwing up your life so

0:31:28.120 --> 0:31:32.600
<v Speaker 1>much your connections have broken, increases the likelihood of holding

0:31:32.640 --> 0:31:33.560
<v Speaker 1>these beliefs.

0:31:33.800 --> 0:31:38.120
<v Speaker 2>Wow, love, he Bluie goes the truth bomb. Love holds

0:31:38.160 --> 0:31:45.120
<v Speaker 2>this stuff at bay. That's wild. That's really interesting, I'm

0:31:45.160 --> 0:31:50.040
<v Speaker 2>telling you. Yeah, Wow, wow, truth bump.

0:31:50.200 --> 0:31:53.400
<v Speaker 4>If you don't have that in your life, you gotta

0:31:53.440 --> 0:31:55.280
<v Speaker 4>fill it with something, and you fill it with this nonsense.

0:31:56.240 --> 0:31:58.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that is super interesting.

0:31:58.760 --> 0:32:03.720
<v Speaker 1>And again Tucker's Carlson and Kendace's, Owen's and several other

0:32:03.960 --> 0:32:08.920
<v Speaker 1>names I could check have understood this psychology and they

0:32:08.920 --> 0:32:11.560
<v Speaker 1>know precisely what buttons to push when and how.

0:32:11.800 --> 0:32:13.360
<v Speaker 2>They're brilliantly evil.

0:32:15.240 --> 0:32:17.680
<v Speaker 4>So if you hear about somebody who's believing, like the

0:32:17.720 --> 0:32:20.200
<v Speaker 4>worst of the Epstein stuff, that George H. W. Bush

0:32:20.280 --> 0:32:25.280
<v Speaker 4>was eating babies, Yeah, and you think who would believe that?

0:32:25.520 --> 0:32:28.520
<v Speaker 4>You should be grateful that you clearly have like loving

0:32:28.560 --> 0:32:31.440
<v Speaker 4>relationships in your life that make.

0:32:31.400 --> 0:32:33.960
<v Speaker 2>That impossible to fit in there.

0:32:34.680 --> 0:32:38.880
<v Speaker 1>Right right, everybody knows George Bush would never eat someoneuntil

0:32:38.920 --> 0:32:39.880
<v Speaker 1>they're a teenager.

0:32:41.280 --> 0:32:46.080
<v Speaker 2>Come on, right, who was an eating underage people? He

0:32:46.200 --> 0:32:49.640
<v Speaker 2>was a decent man. That's so wow.

0:32:50.120 --> 0:32:52.680
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, there are lots of people who believe that, the lots.

0:32:52.760 --> 0:32:54.320
<v Speaker 4>I don't know if it's a million people in the

0:32:54.360 --> 0:32:59.920
<v Speaker 4>Old Country or ten million or ten thousand for that matter,

0:33:00.080 --> 0:33:02.120
<v Speaker 4>but there's a bunch of people out there to believe it.

0:33:03.320 --> 0:33:06.080
<v Speaker 4>Any thoughts on this, Texas? We can check in on

0:33:06.160 --> 0:33:08.320
<v Speaker 4>the blockade Wall Street Journal with an update on how

0:33:08.360 --> 0:33:11.040
<v Speaker 4>the blockade is going there In Iran, it's pretty interesting.

0:33:11.200 --> 0:33:13.160
<v Speaker 2>Stay here.

0:33:12.960 --> 0:33:21.120
<v Speaker 5>A video has surface in which a quadruple amputee cornhole champion.

0:33:21.080 --> 0:33:23.040
<v Speaker 4>Accused of a road rage shooting.

0:33:23.160 --> 0:33:26.640
<v Speaker 5>Is seen firing a semi automatic rifle and standing on

0:33:26.760 --> 0:33:28.360
<v Speaker 5>his head snorting.

0:33:27.960 --> 0:33:30.040
<v Speaker 2>Drugs off a dollar bill.

0:33:30.360 --> 0:33:33.120
<v Speaker 5>So what's stopping you from living your best life?

0:33:37.280 --> 0:33:39.120
<v Speaker 4>We had that story a couple of weeks ago and

0:33:39.680 --> 0:33:42.040
<v Speaker 4>didn't even have the details of Well, he hadn't been

0:33:42.120 --> 0:33:46.720
<v Speaker 4>arrested yet. I guess that videos came out of him

0:33:47.040 --> 0:33:49.959
<v Speaker 4>doing drugs, standing on his head or whatever. He's a

0:33:50.040 --> 0:33:56.440
<v Speaker 4>quadruple amputee corn hole champion who murdered a friend with

0:33:56.520 --> 0:33:59.840
<v Speaker 4>a gun because he's a shooting expert.

0:34:01.000 --> 0:34:02.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's quite a story.

0:34:02.440 --> 0:34:04.920
<v Speaker 1>It sounds like, you know, they have those tall tail

0:34:05.080 --> 0:34:09.000
<v Speaker 1>contests sometimes, like right, Calaveras County I think in California

0:34:09.040 --> 0:34:11.520
<v Speaker 1>holds one. And it sounds like the product of some

0:34:11.760 --> 0:34:13.160
<v Speaker 1>fevered imagination.

0:34:14.200 --> 0:34:16.879
<v Speaker 4>So we have an update on the Trump post where

0:34:16.880 --> 0:34:20.279
<v Speaker 4>he looks kind of like Jesus, Katie, Linda, you went

0:34:20.320 --> 0:34:21.239
<v Speaker 4>to the website.

0:34:21.640 --> 0:34:23.600
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, well, while you guys were talking about it, I

0:34:23.640 --> 0:34:26.319
<v Speaker 6>went to, you know, look at the image itself, and

0:34:26.360 --> 0:34:28.200
<v Speaker 6>it was there on his truth social and I just

0:34:28.239 --> 0:34:30.040
<v Speaker 6>went back to grab the link to put it in

0:34:30.040 --> 0:34:31.640
<v Speaker 6>hot lengths and it has been deleted.

0:34:31.880 --> 0:34:35.239
<v Speaker 4>So somebody convinced him it was too much, and he

0:34:35.320 --> 0:34:38.640
<v Speaker 4>took it down. We got this text from somebody who

0:34:38.760 --> 0:34:43.960
<v Speaker 4>is thinks we're being too critical, not saying he's Jesus

0:34:44.080 --> 0:34:47.040
<v Speaker 4>after blabba bah. He's not saying he's Jesus. He's saying

0:34:47.040 --> 0:34:50.560
<v Speaker 4>he's ministering and caring for our warriors who give incredible sacrifice.

0:34:50.560 --> 0:34:51.319
<v Speaker 2>That's all he's doing.

0:34:53.600 --> 0:34:56.120
<v Speaker 1>Please look at the image that I'm not even going

0:34:56.200 --> 0:35:01.040
<v Speaker 1>to dignify that argument, sorry, dressed in the robes exactly

0:35:01.080 --> 0:35:04.520
<v Speaker 1>like every portrait of Jesus, with divine light emanating from

0:35:04.600 --> 0:35:06.759
<v Speaker 1>his hands and angels up above him.

0:35:06.800 --> 0:35:07.160
<v Speaker 2>Please.

0:35:08.640 --> 0:35:11.600
<v Speaker 1>I could have changed the world, but it's idiotically blasphemous

0:35:11.640 --> 0:35:12.359
<v Speaker 1>and inappropriate.

0:35:12.480 --> 0:35:15.360
<v Speaker 4>And the Statue of Liberty over his shoulder, and the

0:35:15.400 --> 0:35:20.120
<v Speaker 4>Lincoln Movient fighter jets in the air and Baldy flying around,

0:35:23.520 --> 0:35:26.319
<v Speaker 4>I assume set to Lee Greenwood's song.

0:35:26.840 --> 0:35:28.520
<v Speaker 2>If there were audio, that would be it. Yes.

0:35:28.800 --> 0:35:30.719
<v Speaker 4>Here's an update from the Wall Street Journal on how

0:35:30.880 --> 0:35:34.799
<v Speaker 4>the blockade is going, which is currently underway of the

0:35:35.120 --> 0:35:37.320
<v Speaker 4>Straight of hor moves according to us. According to Trump,

0:35:37.600 --> 0:35:40.400
<v Speaker 4>no boat's getting in and out now, no boats. Sorry, Ran,

0:35:40.480 --> 0:35:42.319
<v Speaker 4>you ain't making any more money. According to the Wall

0:35:42.320 --> 0:35:45.000
<v Speaker 4>Street Journal, citing a senior US official, the US blockade

0:35:45.040 --> 0:35:47.080
<v Speaker 4>of the Straight Armor Moves is now in effect and

0:35:47.120 --> 0:35:50.319
<v Speaker 4>per the official, fifteen US warships are in position to

0:35:50.480 --> 0:35:56.040
<v Speaker 4>enforce the blockade. Will we actually have to bring ordinance

0:35:56.080 --> 0:35:59.319
<v Speaker 4>to bear to stop a boat from going through? I
