1 00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:15,080 Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 2 00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:19,799 Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Caddy Armstrong and 3 00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:35,400 Speaker 1: Jet and arms of my workspace has become completely disordered. 4 00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:39,400 Speaker 1: It's just it's out of control. Mm hmm. And I 5 00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:46,640 Speaker 1: think it's a disordered mind, disordered workspace something like that. Dude, 6 00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:50,640 Speaker 1: maybe we should take an hour and simply tidy. I 7 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,040 Speaker 1: think it's a reflection of a maniac a sort of 8 00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:59,840 Speaker 1: living environment. Live from Studio C, a dimly let room 9 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,120 Speaker 1: within the bowels of the Armstrong in Getting Communications Compound. 10 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,600 Speaker 1: And hey, y'all on a Tuesday or under the tutelage 11 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:09,840 Speaker 1: of our general manager, Peace and tranquility. Wait a minute, 12 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 1: they did what he said? What they So do you 13 00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,200 Speaker 1: know where we are currently? I've been trying to get 14 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:17,759 Speaker 1: a handle on that because I was watching a bunch 15 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:19,720 Speaker 1: of news when I got up and since then, and 16 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 1: a lot of it was recorded, like you know, news 17 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 1: that happened really really early in the morning, and so 18 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 1: I wasn't watching it live. But so it's all recorded, 19 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,560 Speaker 1: but it keeps getting surpassed by breaking news. So where 20 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 1: are we currently? Trump announced a ceasefire last night or 21 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,959 Speaker 1: late yesterday afternoon, he said, hey, Israel and Random agreed 22 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:43,560 Speaker 1: to a cease fire. Then there were all kinds of 23 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 1: news stories floating around saying Israel has An agreed to 24 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,280 Speaker 1: a cease far, Iran has An agreed to a cease far. 25 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 1: And then by the time I went to a bed, 26 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 1: both Israel abed my bed. By the time one isn't enough. 27 00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 1: Any bed will do, just any bed near me. Once 28 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 1: I went to abed, Israel and Iran had agreed to 29 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:09,239 Speaker 1: a ceaspire. Yes, And I was reading some of the 30 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 1: commentary on that. Ian Bremer said. On his side, he 31 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 1: said Iran has as an expression recently used in the 32 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 1: Oval office, Iran has no cards to play, so he 33 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 1: wasn't surprised of a sea spire. Okay, so where are 34 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 1: we currently, well at this minute, I wish I could 35 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 1: tell you in a definitive way as of this minute. Well, 36 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,760 Speaker 1: the last I heard, and I'm checking again, the idea 37 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 1: was that, look, you got operations going on, you got 38 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 1: planes in the air, you got missiles you're launching at 39 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 1: Israel Iran. Everybody you know, you got like twelve hours 40 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,840 Speaker 1: to mop things up. This was yesterday, last night, and 41 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 1: it would seem that the mopping up has not stopped 42 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 1: according to the President's intended timetable, so he's pissed off 43 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 1: about it at both parties. He's mad at Israel and Iran. Yes, yeah, 44 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 1: In fact, he said some shocking strong things about Israel 45 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 1: which I thought were ill advised, but that's just me. Well, 46 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 1: he doesn't. I was just watching a really interesting discussion 47 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,800 Speaker 1: with the Washington Post leading analyst of this sort of stuff, 48 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 1: and I think he's right, and that Trump is a 49 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:20,359 Speaker 1: make trade not war guy. He doesn't understand why anybody 50 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 1: would ever want to do anything that disrupts their ability 51 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 1: to just make money and live your life, which I 52 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,240 Speaker 1: understand on a certain level. It is amazing that human 53 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 1: beings ever want to do anything other than figure out 54 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 1: a way to, you know, just better your life. And 55 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 1: you would think you would, no matter what you disagree on, 56 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 1: come up with a way to figure out, how are 57 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 1: we both going to move forward and better our lives. Well, 58 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 1: I think net Yahoo has to go to him and 59 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 1: speak a language he understands. Mister President. This problem we 60 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 1: have with Iran and its proxies, it's like a leak. 61 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 1: It's like a water leak around the foundation of a 62 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 1: hotel you're building. And if you just wait till you've 63 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 1: got the leak dealt with ninety per and then you 64 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 1: start building, you're just begging for a problem. We gotta 65 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 1: get the leak stopped one hundred percent. It's gonna take 66 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 1: a little longer. Well, I expect the ceasefire to happen. 67 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 1: I could be wrong, but I expect it to happen 68 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 1: and hold at some point. It just it doesn't make 69 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,719 Speaker 1: sense to me that it wouldn't. Iran does have no 70 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 1: cards to play. They got nothing, They've got nothing to play. 71 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 1: Obviously Israel wants the war to stop. Uh. Well, the 72 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 1: question becomes one hundred percent. Has Israel accomplished what it 73 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 1: thought was necessary to you know, push off Iran's nuclearization 74 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:36,360 Speaker 1: for whatever time period they deemed as the minimum. That's 75 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 1: the only question to me. If they still have a 76 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 1: couple of sites to take out, a couple of you know, 77 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 1: manufactures of the electric motors of centrifuges or whatever it 78 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 1: happens to be, you gotta finish that, and and an 79 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:55,599 Speaker 1: artificially imposed, hastily announced truce is not necessarily going to 80 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 1: allow them to accomplish that goal. So yeah, who knows, 81 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 1: but Trump is annoyed. I know that. As one old 82 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 1: international hand I saw on one of the channels who's 83 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 1: followed a lot of wars for many, many decades, said, 84 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 1: ceasefires and lands of wars always go this way. There's 85 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 1: always like last minute. It's like separating two boxers at 86 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 1: the bell. They're each trying to get one jab and 87 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,719 Speaker 1: as they get away, which is horrifying if you've ever 88 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 1: read or watched all is quiet on the Western Front. 89 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 1: I mean the idea that they're and this has happened 90 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 1: in many wars, including that one World War One, where 91 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 1: there are generals that want to like take one more hill. 92 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 1: I know the ceasefire, the war is over, but I 93 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:36,600 Speaker 1: don't want to take one more hill. I don't care 94 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 1: about that particular nineteen year old who's going to die 95 00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 1: as I take that hill. It's just absolutely horrifying, but 96 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 1: it is a reality. I guess, yeah. I think it's 97 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 1: less that than what I was describing. Honestly, from the 98 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 1: Iranian side, it's just a apathetic I mean, like pitiful 99 00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 1: effort at face saving going on right now because they 100 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,920 Speaker 1: aren't achieving any strategic goals whatsoever. By shooting their missiles 101 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,360 Speaker 1: about they're just depleting their supply of missiles. So I'm 102 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,039 Speaker 1: just looking at the headline on CNN Trump, I think 103 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:13,640 Speaker 1: they both violated the ceasefire. Fox Iranian missile barrage kills 104 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:17,799 Speaker 1: four in Israel. They're going with at least a headline 105 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 1: right now that doesn't suggest Israel did anything. They're both 106 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 1: still lobbing at each other. Yeah, be interesting to see 107 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 1: where this ends up. I'd like it to stop. I'd 108 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,799 Speaker 1: like all kinds of frequents when we've accomplished the goal. 109 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 1: But yeah, in general, of course, ye ormonger neo con 110 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 1: that's what we're talking. Oh, you're right, gosh, there's no 111 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,280 Speaker 1: answer to that argument. That's an old over work at 112 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 1: you in the argument working with a neocon, which is 113 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,600 Speaker 1: like the term fascist or what was the other one 114 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 1: we had yesterday. That can mean anythani. Nazi means anything 115 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:53,799 Speaker 1: anybody you don't like for any reason. So whoever, for instance, 116 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 1: whoever cleaned out the fridge last week and poured out 117 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 1: my dream clearly a Nazi fascial Nazi neocon versu sort 118 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 1: of Nazi o'conn. We should start the show officially because 119 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 1: the clip we've got is so good. It just happened 120 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:07,360 Speaker 1: a little bit ago, and it shows you how mad 121 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,560 Speaker 1: Trump is. I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe Getty on this. 122 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 1: It is Tuesday, June twenty fourth, the year twenty twenty five, 123 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 1: or Armstrong and getting we approve of this program. All right, 124 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 1: let's begin officially then, according to FCC rules and regulations, 125 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 1: so much to do. As always here we go at 126 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 1: mark you what we have. 127 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 2: We basically have two countries that have been fighting so 128 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 2: long and so hard that they don't know what the 129 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 2: fuck they're doing. You understand that? 130 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,800 Speaker 1: Oh my god, that is the press. Why is it athleeked? 131 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:40,120 Speaker 1: That is presidential news? Damn it. So I'm looking up 132 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 1: at CNN Israel, Luran quote, don't know what the f 133 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:47,240 Speaker 1: asterisk asterisk k they're doing? What is the word I 134 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 1: wonder for funk? I believe fork fork they don't know 135 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 1: what the fork they're doing, right, Flack with a K. 136 00:07:56,480 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 1: That is from a guy who's been in rate his 137 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:07,239 Speaker 1: whole life. Standpoint, absolutely one hundred percent justifiable to play 138 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 1: that unbleeped. But nobody's gonna have the guts to do it. 139 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 1: I would if I were running this place, but I'm 140 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 1: not our boss would s a b if your pardon expression, Wow, 141 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 1: if I think you can say brick, but you know whatever, 142 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 1: these are uncertain times. Yeah, don't do it the other 143 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:27,800 Speaker 1: way around. Yes, I think he would be if we 144 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 1: played it unbleeped. But no chance in hell that you 145 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 1: could get fined by the FCC for that. The President 146 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:38,720 Speaker 1: of the United States during a moment of wartime, just 147 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:40,840 Speaker 1: made a comment. You have to be able to air 148 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:44,720 Speaker 1: that to people on the public airwaves so the people 149 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 1: know what the president said. Right. It could be argued 150 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 1: we know what he said, but yeah, it's ironic that 151 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 1: we both abhorr people using foul language in public. I 152 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:56,360 Speaker 1: don't think you can have a choice whether to see it. 153 00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 1: But yeah, no news, it's absolutely defensible on First Amendment. 154 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:01,720 Speaker 1: I understand your point that we know what he said, 155 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 1: but it loses so much of its sting. Yes, and 156 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:08,319 Speaker 1: the president wanted it to have a sting. Yes. Indeed, 157 00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 1: speaking of sting, let's not hold back, Michael. You got 158 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 1: forty b in front of you. The president was running hot, 159 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 1: Donald Trump coming in hot here, and I. 160 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 2: Will say I think CNN or to apologize to the 161 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 2: pilots of the v twos. I think that MSDNC o 162 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 2: to apologize. I think these guys, really, these networks are 163 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 2: these cable networks are real losers. You're really you're realising. 164 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:36,839 Speaker 1: Oh he's just getting started.

Okay, all right, so yeah 180 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 1: there's that. Well there you go. That's uh, that's the 181 00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:37,680 Speaker 1: whole ceasefire or not war in the middle least story, 182 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,040 Speaker 1: and we'll be dipping in and out of that throughout 183 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 1: the show with probably Trump and the Prime Minister Netna 184 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 1: who just spoke okay, asking him not to resume, Nenya 185 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,160 Speaker 1: who says they're going to stop.

He 227 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:08,680 Speaker 1: says something like that just seems nuts. From boxing, we. 228 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:12,920 Speaker 2: Basically have two countries that have been fighting so long 229 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,760 Speaker 2: and so hard that they don't know what the fuck 230 00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:17,520 Speaker 2: they're doing.

So people who work for Israel's security 333 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:29,600 Speaker 1: services who speak Persian, Iran's primary language, called senior Iranian 334 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:32,400 Speaker 1: officials on their cell phones and warned them that they 335 00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:36,479 Speaker 1: and their wives and children would die unless they ceased 336 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:40,240 Speaker 1: supporting the Ayahtola and got the hell out of dodge. 337 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,639 Speaker 1: And they didn't quote I can will I don't know. 338 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,720 Speaker 1: Some may have. Do you think they did quote I 339 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,040 Speaker 1: can advise you now you have twelve hours to escape 340 00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:53,160 Speaker 1: with your wife and childs. Otherwise you're on our list 341 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:56,960 Speaker 1: right now. An Israeli intelligence operative told the senior Iranian 342 00:19:57,040 --> 00:20:02,840 Speaker 1: general close to the country's rulers. The operative then suggested 343 00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:04,919 Speaker 1: that Israel could train weapons on the general and his 344 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,840 Speaker 1: family at any moment. Quote, we're closer to you than 345 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:11,040 Speaker 1: your own neck vein. Put this in your head. May 346 00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:18,760 Speaker 1: God protect you. Yikes. The general, a member of Iran's 347 00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:21,800 Speaker 1: powerful Islamic Revolutionary Guard Court, was told he had twelve 348 00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:25,520 Speaker 1: hours to make a video disassociating himself from the Iranian government. 349 00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:28,720 Speaker 1: How should I send it to you, the General replies, 350 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:32,399 Speaker 1: I'll send you a telegram ID the operative says, send it. 351 00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 1: Unclear whether it was made or sent or anything like that. Boy, 352 00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:39,280 Speaker 1: all these guys, we got a bomb pointed at your 353 00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:43,040 Speaker 1: head right now. You got a cute little kid, don't you. Yeah, yeah, okay, 354 00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 1: do the right thing, see ya am I right to see. 355 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:47,600 Speaker 1: Ayatola has not been seen in quite a while, a 356 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 1: couple of weeks from what I understand. Yeah, so he 357 00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:54,240 Speaker 1: could be gone. I'd read one report that he you mean, 358 00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:58,680 Speaker 1: like he ran for his life gone. Surely that news 359 00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:02,000 Speaker 1: would break, right, I mean, somebody would try to take 360 00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:06,639 Speaker 1: over the country or yeah, you would think. Yeah, I 361 00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:09,040 Speaker 1: just assume he's in hiding. I mean, he's older than 362 00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:12,400 Speaker 1: Joe Biden. And I'd seen one report where they suggested 363 00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:16,320 Speaker 1: that he was acting and speaking erratically. People weren't sure 364 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,159 Speaker 1: if he had his marbles, but don't know. So on 365 00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:25,600 Speaker 1: a completely different topic, John Yu who was a Pentagon 366 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:29,879 Speaker 1: lawyer in the Bush administration, among other names, senior fellow 367 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:33,440 Speaker 1: at various places, a professor law UC Burke. He became 368 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:38,280 Speaker 1: a big deal around the torture stuff. I think, yes, 369 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 1: that is correct. Not exactly a shining place on his 370 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:47,240 Speaker 1: resume in my opinion, but he is a highly respected 371 00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:52,400 Speaker 1: constitutional scholar. But anyway he's talking about, well, he says 372 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:56,480 Speaker 1: Trump's strike on Iran was constitutional. The President acted to 373 00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:59,439 Speaker 1: protect the nation security within the powers granted to his 374 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:03,960 Speaker 1: office by the Constitution. And he goes into some of 375 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:08,400 Speaker 1: the catterwauling about it. Bernie Sanders AOC. I just saw 376 00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 1: her on cable news talking about impeachment. Roe Conna, a 377 00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:16,800 Speaker 1: Democratic California who's trying to raise his profile. He has 378 00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:22,159 Speaker 1: a sniff of the Oval office. He immediately voted. He 379 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:25,600 Speaker 1: demanded the Congress vote on his newly introduced War Powers 380 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:28,920 Speaker 1: Resolution quote to prevent America from being dragged into another 381 00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:31,679 Speaker 1: endless Middle East war, an endless war that may have 382 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:35,679 Speaker 1: ended an hour ago, right after like eight hours of 383 00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:40,119 Speaker 1: our involvement, well, flight time thirty seven hours anyway, And 384 00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:44,400 Speaker 1: then on the isolationist right you got Thomas Massey griping 385 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:51,760 Speaker 1: about it, Warren Davidson of Ohio, Marjorie Taylor Green came hardcore. 386 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:54,520 Speaker 1: But then you and this is the part I really 387 00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:59,119 Speaker 1: found interesting. He gets into some of the Federalist papers 388 00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:04,040 Speaker 1: in which Lexander Hamilton explained Alexander Hamilton, it gives the 389 00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 1: president the primary constitutional duty of quote, protecting the community 390 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:11,359 Speaker 1: against foreign attacks. And the founders vested these powers and 391 00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:13,960 Speaker 1: the president precisely because only a single man could act 392 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:17,399 Speaker 1: quote with sufficient energy in the executive to respond to 393 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:22,280 Speaker 1: the challenges of foreign national and national security. Decision activity, secrecy, 394 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:26,720 Speaker 1: and dispatch meaning speed will generally characterize the proceedings of 395 00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:32,840 Speaker 1: one man, Hamilton wrote in the Federal seventy four. Hamilton 396 00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:35,200 Speaker 1: was even more explicit of all the cares or concerns 397 00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:37,880 Speaker 1: of the government, the direction of war most peculiarly demands 398 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:40,720 Speaker 1: those qualities which distinguished the exercise of power by a 399 00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:46,439 Speaker 1: single hand. Blah blah blah. Now how that relates to 400 00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:52,399 Speaker 1: the declaration of war, I don't know because, as you 401 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:56,840 Speaker 1: were discussing yesterday, Jack, we have congresses declared war five 402 00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:00,760 Speaker 1: times in our nation's history. Presidents have come mitd military 403 00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:05,760 Speaker 1: forces to combat abroad one hundred and thirty plus times. 404 00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:09,920 Speaker 1: And here's the historical part I found extra ange. So 405 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:13,000 Speaker 1: we didn't declare war in Vietnam, right or Korea? It 406 00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:17,960 Speaker 1: was a police action. Yes, So, Temilton, two giant wars 407 00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:21,760 Speaker 1: with many Americans dead, and we have huge memorials to 408 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,800 Speaker 1: them in Washington, d C. Were not declared wars by Congress, 409 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,960 Speaker 1: and we call them wars. Well, they look a lot 410 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:29,800 Speaker 1: like a war with the whole guns and dying thing. 411 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:33,800 Speaker 1: All right, Hamilton's defensive executive power and wars held sway 412 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:37,800 Speaker 1: for more than two centuries, and it has had little 413 00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:41,560 Speaker 1: Uh well, what does he say? With little variation. The 414 00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:44,480 Speaker 1: president takes the lead and deciding when to initiate armed conflict, 415 00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:47,280 Speaker 1: with Congress exercising a check through its sole power of 416 00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:50,480 Speaker 1: the purse. So here's the history. The practiced extends at 417 00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:53,040 Speaker 1: least as far back in the Korean War. In cases 418 00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,159 Speaker 1: of smaller conflicts, the practice can be traced to the 419 00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:59,560 Speaker 1: very first administrations. George Washington conducted the Indian Wars without 420 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:03,600 Speaker 1: a declar Thomas Jefferson fought the Barbary pirates on his 421 00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:07,639 Speaker 1: own authority. That's a pretty good parallel to what Trump 422 00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,560 Speaker 1: is doing. Abraham Lincoln raised an army and navy and 423 00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:13,720 Speaker 1: launched them against the South without calling Congress into session. 424 00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:17,840 Speaker 1: Fdr ordered escorts for British convoys aid to the Allies 425 00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:22,760 Speaker 1: attacks on German submarines in the face of Congress's neutrality acts. 426 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:26,240 Speaker 1: In the wake of the Vietnam War, political leaders adopted 427 00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:30,440 Speaker 1: a radical academic theory that only Congress could authorize any 428 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:34,840 Speaker 1: sort of war, and they enacted the War Powers Resolution 429 00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:37,720 Speaker 1: over the veto of a weekened Nixon. It required the 430 00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:41,040 Speaker 1: president to receive Congressional approval for any use of military 431 00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:43,600 Speaker 1: force abroad, and if they do not get it, to 432 00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:48,520 Speaker 1: pull troops out after sixty days. And Ted's Kennedy and 433 00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:51,840 Speaker 1: Jose Biden claimed that the Constitution's War Powers Clause forbade 434 00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:56,840 Speaker 1: Republican presidents from waging war without Congressional permission. And then 435 00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,679 Speaker 1: they go through the history of plenty of democratic presidents 436 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:02,119 Speaker 1: doing them that very thing, and nobody said a word 437 00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:08,080 Speaker 1: that presidents have refused to accept the legality of the 438 00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:11,760 Speaker 1: War Powers Resolution of nineteen seventy three, and neither Congress 439 00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:16,240 Speaker 1: nor other courts have shown any interest in enforcing it. Ford, Carti, Carter, 440 00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:21,000 Speaker 1: Reagan all engaged in several military actions without Congressional assent, 441 00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:29,040 Speaker 1: and you got hw and then w Clinton interventions in Somalia, Haiti, Bosnia, 442 00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:31,920 Speaker 1: the Middle East, most significantly Kozo votes, part none of 443 00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:34,440 Speaker 1: which were authorized by Congress. Part of it, a lot 444 00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:38,199 Speaker 1: of it, maybe practically all of it is because the 445 00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:43,080 Speaker 1: pante wasted, weak willed. I shouldn't say panny wasted, because 446 00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:47,200 Speaker 1: that that that's implying what women wear pandies and women 447 00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:50,280 Speaker 1: are weak. And I shouldn't because that's not true when 448 00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:52,840 Speaker 1: it comes to like taking votes or whatnot. So we 449 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,080 Speaker 1: learned a couple of weeks ago that it was actually 450 00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:59,560 Speaker 1: a reference to a small child's war. Okay, then I'll 451 00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:01,520 Speaker 1: go back to anyways. No, how about lily livered? Is 452 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:05,320 Speaker 1: that unaffair to people with who drink too much sirosa 453 00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:08,399 Speaker 1: white purple livers? No? I don't know. Anyway, it's because 454 00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:11,600 Speaker 1: the weak, weak, cowardly congress people don't want to have 455 00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:14,800 Speaker 1: their name attached to a vote for or against any wars. 456 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:17,560 Speaker 1: Because they've seen how it can get used against you 457 00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:21,400 Speaker 1: in future elections if you're wrong on the wrong side 458 00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:25,919 Speaker 1: of it. I mean, how many politicians, including Ted Cruz 459 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,800 Speaker 1: just the other day with Tucker Carlson, still have to 460 00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:32,439 Speaker 1: talk about their vote on a rack, whether they voted 461 00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:35,560 Speaker 1: for it or against it, and it gets drug out 462 00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:37,000 Speaker 1: and held up. So they don't want to have to. 463 00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:38,800 Speaker 1: They don't want their name attached to any votes, which 464 00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:42,360 Speaker 1: is incredibly weak. But by doing that, they just let 465 00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:44,520 Speaker 1: the commander in chief do whatever the hell they want. 466 00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:46,119 Speaker 1: Then they'll take all the credit of the blame. But 467 00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:48,119 Speaker 1: then at least me and Congress I don't have to 468 00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:52,520 Speaker 1: risk my vote. It's time for a John Kennedy like 469 00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:55,520 Speaker 1: figure to not write a book because Kennedy didn't write 470 00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:58,840 Speaker 1: Profiles and courage not write a book entitled Profiles in 471 00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:04,679 Speaker 1: Cowardice and really, hammen, that'd be great chicken beashes of 472 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:08,000 Speaker 1: Congress for their their unwillingness to take a stand on 473 00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:15,000 Speaker 1: anything with their child's panties around their waist, Yes are 474 00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:19,480 Speaker 1: lily colored. I would like, you know, I'd like to 475 00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:23,399 Speaker 1: go into even more detail about the War Powers Resolution 476 00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:27,560 Speaker 1: in nineteen seventy three, but again I think the key 477 00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:33,560 Speaker 1: sentence is that all every single president of both parties 478 00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:38,120 Speaker 1: has said yeah, that's nice, and neither Congress nor the 479 00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:41,200 Speaker 1: courts have decided to do anything about it. So what 480 00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:44,080 Speaker 1: are we talking about? Uh, well, I can tell you 481 00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:46,160 Speaker 1: a couple of things. We're talking about. We're talking about 482 00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:50,720 Speaker 1: fundraising and your constituents seeing that you're talking impeachment against 483 00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:52,920 Speaker 1: Trump and you send them a check. They ask for 484 00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:54,680 Speaker 1: a check and you send it to them. So that's 485 00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:58,320 Speaker 1: part of it. Truth bomb run for your lives. Jack 486 00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:02,560 Speaker 1: is dropping mave ordnance truth bombs. There should be a ceasefire. 487 00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:06,520 Speaker 1: I just saw John fo Crap penetrating truth bombs. I 488 00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:10,160 Speaker 1: just saw John Fetterman on Fox saying impeachment is going nowhere. 489 00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:13,160 Speaker 1: It doesn't need to go anywhere. They just want to 490 00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:16,240 Speaker 1: go through the process and get all the credit for trying, 491 00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:19,880 Speaker 1: because we live at a new age of performative politics. 492 00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:24,040 Speaker 1: You ask your pollster, if I announce an impeachment resolution, 493 00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:26,640 Speaker 1: how many sad sacks will kick me twenty five bucks 494 00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:29,480 Speaker 1: through the internet. Well, Sarah, we would believe that'll be 495 00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:33,920 Speaker 1: efully two percent of your district or fifteen hundred people. Really, Okay, great, 496 00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:38,920 Speaker 1: I'll write it up this afternoon, right exactly. I'm becoming 497 00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:43,160 Speaker 1: enraged about a local skateboard park story that I've seen 498 00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:45,560 Speaker 1: in the news today that I think is worth sharing 499 00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:50,120 Speaker 1: with everybody because it's emblematic of a certain mindset. Love it. 500 00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:52,239 Speaker 1: We've got mail Bag on the Way was the other 501 00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:53,680 Speaker 1: story that I want to get to. I teased it 502 00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:55,520 Speaker 1: a little bigger right at the beginning. Oh yeah, the 503 00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:57,200 Speaker 1: New York may oral race. If you don't know this 504 00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:00,240 Speaker 1: communist who's going to end up being the mayor of 505 00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:02,720 Speaker 1: New York, it's worth taking a look at him. What 506 00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:05,000 Speaker 1: a story, What a thing to watch, As Joe says, 507 00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:06,520 Speaker 1: it's going to be good for the rest of the 508 00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:08,760 Speaker 1: country to watch a communist run the biggest city in 509 00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:11,360 Speaker 1: the country and get all the news attention as it 510 00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:13,600 Speaker 1: fails and fails and fails, and people get angry and 511 00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:17,920 Speaker 1: angry and angrier. New York has got to stop electing 512 00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:21,760 Speaker 1: Moron's mayor or they will suffer for it. And I 513 00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:25,000 Speaker 1: think they're about to this guy, is he is? Well, 514 00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:29,440 Speaker 1: we'll explain that later. Mail Bag on the Way next. 515 00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:36,920 Speaker 1: I am so agitated. I get so agitated by do gooders. 516 00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:41,200 Speaker 1: Oh they make me so angry. I can barely and 517 00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:46,080 Speaker 1: I've been away my whole life. The zero tolerance for 518 00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:51,200 Speaker 1: everyone's crowd to try to make the world safe and perfect. 519 00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:57,760 Speaker 1: That makes the world unfun and unexciting and unadventurous, the 520 00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:01,240 Speaker 1: safety of cest they make me insane, me so crazy, 521 00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:03,960 Speaker 1: And I'm so agitated about this local skate park situation 522 00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:07,120 Speaker 1: that I've seen play out across the country. Actually we'll 523 00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:09,880 Speaker 1: talk about that later in the show. Here's your freedom 524 00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:12,280 Speaker 1: living quote of today from a gentleman who celebrated his 525 00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:16,200 Speaker 1: seventy seventh birthday yesterday. And he should be a hero 526 00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:20,840 Speaker 1: to young children, particularly black children, all across America. That's 527 00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:25,000 Speaker 1: Clarence Thomas. But he's been so denigrated in bad mouthed 528 00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:28,120 Speaker 1: by the liberal media. He's not, but he was talking. 529 00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:30,280 Speaker 1: He gave a speech not too long ago about the 530 00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:32,719 Speaker 1: importance of standing up for truth, even if you're the 531 00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:35,360 Speaker 1: only one doing so. And here's the quote. You can 532 00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:37,320 Speaker 1: be in the middle of a hurricane, or you can 533 00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:40,280 Speaker 1: be on a calm day. North is still North. You 534 00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:43,360 Speaker 1: could be in a thunderstorm. North is still North. People 535 00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:46,080 Speaker 1: can yell at you. North is still North. It doesn't 536 00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:49,280 Speaker 1: change fundamental things. And in this business right is still 537 00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:52,920 Speaker 1: right even if you stand by yourself. Yeah different, different 538 00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:55,200 Speaker 1: version of two plus two equals four. No matter what, 539 00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:59,400 Speaker 1: anybody else is right. Exactly, Well said Clarence, and happy birthday, Sir. 540 00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:03,400 Speaker 1: I got a couple more later in the week from 541 00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:06,160 Speaker 1: Clarence Thomas. Trump's a note mail bag at Armstrong in 542 00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:11,280 Speaker 1: getty dot com. Dirk's the German Rights It was a 543 00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:14,360 Speaker 1: mostly peaceful bombing. See. Iran is a nation of over 544 00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:17,600 Speaker 1: six hundred thousand square miles. The US bomb three small 545 00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:21,480 Speaker 1: nuclear sites to protest Iran's nuclear ambitions. It was clearly 546 00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:26,440 Speaker 1: a mostly peaceful protest. That's fantastic, Well done, Dirk. How 547 00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:29,240 Speaker 1: come nobody's commenting on the rest of Iran the vast 548 00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:32,240 Speaker 1: ninety nine percent of Iran that was untouched by bombs. 549 00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:37,400 Speaker 1: Iran's a very big country. It was just downtown Nukeville 550 00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:41,160 Speaker 1: that had the problems. Well play. Dirk uh Don writes. 551 00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:45,720 Speaker 1: If President Trump Wantseranian women's support of regime change, could 552 00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:48,680 Speaker 1: she should offer swapping their burkes and other oppressive head 553 00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:53,240 Speaker 1: coverings for red make Around Great again ball caps. Wow, 554 00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:56,040 Speaker 1: just ship cases of those over to Iran. Yeah, my 555 00:32:56,080 --> 00:33:00,080 Speaker 1: hair's covered with this truvy redhead. I just got that 556 00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:02,200 Speaker 1: secret police. Of course, they'd probably get the hell beat 557 00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:04,360 Speaker 1: out of them for that, and then you'd be tortured 558 00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:08,480 Speaker 1: and then executed. Yeah, let's see why I am not 559 00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:12,560 Speaker 1: stressed out by Steve and Everett Washington. Seems to me 560 00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:15,000 Speaker 1: that two very important metrics should be considered whether or 561 00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:17,520 Speaker 1: not we're at peace with the regional conflicts in the 562 00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:21,520 Speaker 1: Middle East. One did oil prices increase or decrease? It 563 00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:25,040 Speaker 1: decreased significantly more than ten bucks in barrel. Two did 564 00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:27,360 Speaker 1: the Dow Jones increase or don't look at the Dow? 565 00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:29,560 Speaker 1: Look at the S and P five hundred? Did the 566 00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:32,320 Speaker 1: S and P increase or decrease? It increased the better 567 00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:34,720 Speaker 1: part of one percent. I'm not one to engage in 568 00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:37,360 Speaker 1: industrial espionage, but I trust the fact that Wall Street 569 00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:39,920 Speaker 1: has those resources. If the markets seem to think things 570 00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:42,120 Speaker 1: have calmed down, I'm inclined to agree with them. Yeah. 571 00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:45,600 Speaker 1: Up again today on the ceasepire talks, although might have 572 00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:47,880 Speaker 1: more to do with the FED chair and what he 573 00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:50,960 Speaker 1: said about interest rates. I was just reading about how 574 00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:56,920 Speaker 1: uncertainty affects hiring and investment in business, and I find 575 00:33:56,920 --> 00:34:02,600 Speaker 1: myself wondering whether at some point we become just more 576 00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:06,880 Speaker 1: comfortable with a higher level of volatility uncertainty as a culture, 577 00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:08,759 Speaker 1: get an economy. We better get used to it or 578 00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:14,480 Speaker 1: we're gonna go crazy. Yeah, Paollo with an interesting topic. 579 00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:16,279 Speaker 1: It looks like Iran has at least a fly in 580 00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:19,719 Speaker 1: the ointment of its nuclear ambitions. It's probably only a 581 00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:22,480 Speaker 1: bump in the road for them. But it's not just 582 00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:24,520 Speaker 1: Iran and nukes. We have to worry about the development 583 00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:28,040 Speaker 1: of technology and learning generally snowballing, and eventually just about 584 00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:30,960 Speaker 1: everybody will have the capacity to do great harm. May 585 00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:33,440 Speaker 1: take a while, I hope, very long while, but it's inevitable. 586 00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:36,000 Speaker 1: How can we avoid it except by our destruction or 587 00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:38,759 Speaker 1: some sort of great reset that sets us back centuries. 588 00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:40,800 Speaker 1: We'll have to hope that we get a lot wiser 589 00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:43,040 Speaker 1: before our knowledge progresses to the point where the power 590 00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:47,399 Speaker 1: to destroy ourselves is ubiquitous and available to just about everyone. Yeah, 591 00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:52,879 Speaker 1: that's true. Let's see JT and Livermore makes the point 592 00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:56,600 Speaker 1: that none of the former presidents have come out and said, 593 00:34:56,719 --> 00:35:01,440 Speaker 1: nice job, Donald j getting, you know, taking the nuclear 594 00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:06,120 Speaker 1: capabilities away from Iraq. That's a decent point considering I 595 00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:14,120 Speaker 1: saw a montage of Clinton, Obama, Biden all saying Iran 596 00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:18,120 Speaker 1: will never get a nuclear weapon right and doing very 597 00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:20,239 Speaker 1: little about and doing very little about it in some 598 00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:22,680 Speaker 1: cases helping them along. If you miss a segment an hour, 599 00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:24,840 Speaker 1: get the podcast Armstrong and Getty on the Bad Strong 600 00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:25,000 Speaker 1: and
