WEBVTT - Thanks, Napoleon. You Jackass! 0:00:01.840 --> 0:00:06.160 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George 0:00:06.200 --> 0:00:10.280 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. 0:00:10.160 --> 0:00:17.800 Armstrong and Getty and now he Armstrong and Getty. 0:00:24.520 --> 0:00:27.240 Meantime, the Wall Street Journal reports the Pentagon is considering 0:00:27.280 --> 0:00:30.000 sending an additional ten thousand troops to the region. That's 0:00:30.040 --> 0:00:32.720 in addition to the fifteen hundred paratroopers from the eighty 0:00:32.760 --> 0:00:34.920 second Airborne to be mobilized for the war. It's not 0:00:35.040 --> 0:00:37.839 clear which division the troops would be drawn from. 0:00:37.920 --> 0:00:40.200 Yeah, I don't know what that brings the total number 0:00:40.200 --> 0:00:42.640 two that's being sent there, but we're definitely getting more 0:00:42.680 --> 0:00:45.440 boots that can be on the ground in the area. 0:00:45.760 --> 0:00:48.479 And this conflict certainly has the potential to become the 0:00:48.479 --> 0:00:50.800 biggest story of our lives. Jack and I'm both amazed 0:00:50.800 --> 0:00:53.159 at how little attention is being paid by a lot 0:00:53.200 --> 0:00:56.720 of media. But there's a discussion for another moment. Right now, 0:00:56.800 --> 0:00:59.720 let's talk to military analyst Mike Lyons, who joins us. 0:00:59.800 --> 0:01:01.600 Mike killo, how are you hey? 0:01:01.600 --> 0:01:02.680 Come oney, guys, great to be back. 0:01:02.840 --> 0:01:06.000 As boots get closer to the ground, what are your concerns? 0:01:07.880 --> 0:01:10.080 You know, I still want to keep the air war going, 0:01:10.160 --> 0:01:11.360 the air campaign going. 0:01:11.400 --> 0:01:12.959 I don't think we've hit enough targets. 0:01:13.080 --> 0:01:16.399 I guess over ten thousand, but there's still lots of 0:01:16.400 --> 0:01:19.000 military targets, lots of targets of opportunity to go after 0:01:19.200 --> 0:01:21.199 and continue to use that as. 0:01:21.040 --> 0:01:22.640 A way to degrade and to. 0:01:24.520 --> 0:01:27.360 Put pressure on this regime to try to get them 0:01:27.400 --> 0:01:29.720 to a point where they will agree to something reasonable 0:01:29.760 --> 0:01:31.240 or you could see what they put out so far, 0:01:31.959 --> 0:01:34.920 it's completely unreasonable. I know we're working a seve Wick 0:01:34.959 --> 0:01:38.080 Coops fifteen point plan which resembles like they did in Gaza, 0:01:38.120 --> 0:01:40.600 but there's no such thing as a fifteen point successful 0:01:40.640 --> 0:01:43.360 piece plan anywhere. So again, I have no problem keeping 0:01:43.400 --> 0:01:47.040 the military aspects going, but there will likely be soldiers 0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:49.520 at some point that will have to be deployed for 0:01:49.560 --> 0:01:52.280 a couple different reasons. One to get the half a 0:01:52.320 --> 0:01:55.920 ton of depleted or enrich dream out of there and 0:01:56.640 --> 0:01:59.640 perhaps make it a show of force to make sure 0:01:59.680 --> 0:02:02.120 that you know we have some visible sign of victory. 0:02:02.600 --> 0:02:04.640 Based on what you've read and heard, how likely do 0:02:04.680 --> 0:02:06.720 you think it is we'll take a shot at taking 0:02:06.800 --> 0:02:07.480 carg Island. 0:02:09.000 --> 0:02:12.080 Well, that would be the most easiest way for this 0:02:12.160 --> 0:02:16.520 administration to get a victory, to get a visual, a 0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:18.959 visual on what's going on. But I do think that 0:02:19.360 --> 0:02:23.280 there's RGC units dug in there. It's heavily defended. I 0:02:23.600 --> 0:02:26.240 don't think we'll go there anytime soon. In fact, we 0:02:26.240 --> 0:02:28.519 could continue to vomit for three more weeks or so. 0:02:28.680 --> 0:02:31.440 And I don't see the Marines launching a D Day 0:02:31.480 --> 0:02:32.399 type invasion there. 0:02:32.440 --> 0:02:33.560 I don't see that. 0:02:33.720 --> 0:02:38.000 I think if we do, it's Army Rangers and Delta 0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:41.000 kind of occupying it. If if you remember back Mogadishu 0:02:41.120 --> 0:02:43.680 kind of fast roping. I think that's the air assault 0:02:43.800 --> 0:02:46.720 airborne way to do that from a military perspective. Getting 0:02:46.720 --> 0:02:49.200 a little bit inside baseball here, but I think it 0:02:49.240 --> 0:02:51.600 would be important. And I think, you know, look, we're 0:02:51.639 --> 0:02:53.520 really good at fighting wars, right the United States is 0:02:53.520 --> 0:02:55.600 great at fighting wars, but we've not been really good 0:02:55.600 --> 0:02:58.560 at waging wars. And doing something like that. Taking carg 0:02:58.600 --> 0:03:01.920 Island and taking over Irinians oil refineries would be a 0:03:01.919 --> 0:03:03.960 good way to wage war. That would be the kind 0:03:04.000 --> 0:03:05.560 of thing that would make a real difference. 0:03:05.560 --> 0:03:05.680 Now. 0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:07.240 I know a lot of people would be screaming about 0:03:07.240 --> 0:03:10.280 war crimes and civilians all these other things, but this 0:03:10.360 --> 0:03:12.000 is what waging war is all about. This is what 0:03:12.040 --> 0:03:14.560 close which would say, is how a country has to 0:03:14.760 --> 0:03:17.000 expect if it wants to win. If we just want 0:03:17.000 --> 0:03:19.760 to again while owen ovacaine and not do what we 0:03:19.800 --> 0:03:22.440 did for the past two conflicts, then we'll get nothing done. 0:03:22.480 --> 0:03:24.520 But this administration is dogs didn't doing that. 0:03:25.840 --> 0:03:29.400 So you brought up that whole idea of securing nuclear material. 0:03:30.639 --> 0:03:32.320 That seems like a heck of a job to me. 0:03:32.440 --> 0:03:33.680 I mean, and they're going to have to go to 0:03:33.720 --> 0:03:36.600 these areas that we just bombed the but Jesus out 0:03:36.640 --> 0:03:40.800 of and get some dump trucks and some back hos 0:03:40.920 --> 0:03:43.120 and start digging and while protecting it. I mean, what's 0:03:43.120 --> 0:03:43.840 that going to look like? 0:03:44.440 --> 0:03:45.200 Yeah, no, I don't know. 0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:48.480 It's going to take intel first from Israel that will 0:03:48.640 --> 0:03:51.000 likely know where it's stored, to find out where it 0:03:51.040 --> 0:03:53.240 is and then find out how difficult it's going to 0:03:53.240 --> 0:03:56.360 be to extract is it undergrounds it has it been 0:03:56.400 --> 0:04:00.920 in case already entombed in some cases, Whether that mission 0:04:01.000 --> 0:04:03.280 is plausible or not, that would be you know, we 0:04:03.520 --> 0:04:06.600 want to get to IMEA, the the international you know 0:04:07.080 --> 0:04:10.240 community involved with that mission if that's possible. But you're 0:04:10.240 --> 0:04:11.640 not putting that, you know, in the back of a 0:04:11.680 --> 0:04:14.440 Special Forces helicopter and getting in and getting out and 0:04:14.480 --> 0:04:17.320 doing that mission. That's a long, you know, really difficult 0:04:17.400 --> 0:04:21.880 engineering problem set to solve, and I think the you know, 0:04:22.600 --> 0:04:25.760 probably solved after the conflict is officially over on some level. 0:04:26.400 --> 0:04:28.080 But that would be another one of those. 0:04:27.920 --> 0:04:29.960 Signs that the president could point to and say this 0:04:30.040 --> 0:04:31.039 is why we're victorious. 0:04:31.600 --> 0:04:31.760 Yeah. 0:04:31.800 --> 0:04:33.920 On one more note, I've heard that it is extremely 0:04:34.000 --> 0:04:36.600 dangerous and volatile stuff to deal with, as you might 0:04:36.640 --> 0:04:38.479 expect how you're fined uranium. 0:04:38.560 --> 0:04:40.159 Yeah, yeah, exactly. 0:04:40.279 --> 0:04:43.680 I mean the protection alone of the forces would be overwhelming, exactly. 0:04:44.080 --> 0:04:46.240 Hey, Mike, another discussion we've had a number of times 0:04:46.240 --> 0:04:48.279 on the show is that how in the TikTok world 0:04:48.360 --> 0:04:51.080 everybody expects things to be wrapped up within seventy two 0:04:51.160 --> 0:04:53.800 hours or they think, you know, it's gone wrong. Talk 0:04:53.839 --> 0:04:56.279 to us, as a veteran of combat and a student 0:04:56.320 --> 0:05:01.520 of military history, where are we timeline in a very 0:05:01.560 --> 0:05:03.640 significant and I would argue important more. 0:05:04.480 --> 0:05:06.880 Yeah, I mean, yeah, the fallacy of a short war 0:05:07.000 --> 0:05:10.760 is that thing we've seen in this century, in the 0:05:10.800 --> 0:05:13.640 last century, based on Desert Storm, about how fast that happened, 0:05:13.680 --> 0:05:15.920 But that was just the ground aspect of it. What's 0:05:15.960 --> 0:05:18.760 forgotten over the thirty seven or thirty eight days of 0:05:18.800 --> 0:05:20.880 the air pounding that took place, and we still had 0:05:20.880 --> 0:05:22.800 to send ground troops in order to kind of clean 0:05:22.880 --> 0:05:27.520 that up. In this case. You know, we had four 0:05:27.560 --> 0:05:29.720 times the amount of air sorties that will flowed during 0:05:29.720 --> 0:05:32.440 Desert Storm there, and we're still doing a lot here. 0:05:32.480 --> 0:05:34.520 But from the grand scheme of things, I think it 0:05:34.600 --> 0:05:37.320 lulled Latimer Putin, for example, unto a false sense of security, 0:05:37.320 --> 0:05:39.679 thinking he was going to take Ukraine very quickly. 0:05:39.839 --> 0:05:40.640 Just he forgot to. 0:05:40.680 --> 0:05:42.760 Figure out how to wait, to take his forces and 0:05:42.800 --> 0:05:45.240 multiply them and combine them. But that's another thing. But 0:05:45.320 --> 0:05:47.760 in the grand scheme of things, fast wars just don't happen, 0:05:47.960 --> 0:05:51.039 and they're not easily resolved. And Desert Storm was an 0:05:51.120 --> 0:05:53.880 unfortunate example of when it did happen that a lot 0:05:53.880 --> 0:05:55.479 of people point to and say, why, why can't we 0:05:55.520 --> 0:05:58.240 do something similar there? Which is why again this goes 0:05:58.279 --> 0:06:01.200 on for many months and this administration, I'm sure we'll 0:06:01.240 --> 0:06:03.400 protect its forces. I think the number they have on 0:06:03.440 --> 0:06:05.920 their board right now is thirteen. You know how many 0:06:06.000 --> 0:06:08.720 Kia at this point, and the objective is to keep 0:06:08.720 --> 0:06:12.600 that low, which again to me, you think back when 0:06:12.600 --> 0:06:14.240 we were doing Vietnam, we were sending one hundred and 0:06:14.240 --> 0:06:16.240 fifty bodies and body bags back every week and no 0:06:16.279 --> 0:06:19.320 one blinked an eye about it. So again, protection of 0:06:19.360 --> 0:06:21.320 the force is going to be important. But we could 0:06:21.360 --> 0:06:24.479 still see this conflict go for for months. 0:06:25.040 --> 0:06:28.679 So they talked about that clip we played ten thousand 0:06:28.720 --> 0:06:31.560 more troops being sent over there to join up with 0:06:31.839 --> 0:06:34.200 fifteen hundred this or that. Do you expect that number 0:06:34.240 --> 0:06:37.200 to go way up? I mean, the reporting today from 0:06:37.720 --> 0:06:40.120 all the sources I really trust is Trump is hell 0:06:40.200 --> 0:06:43.520 bent on We're going to pound them until they surrender, 0:06:43.600 --> 0:06:45.279 or we're going to take what we want. We're just 0:06:45.320 --> 0:06:47.000 going to take it from them, isn't Is that going 0:06:47.080 --> 0:06:49.400 to take like a really big number of troops. Should 0:06:49.400 --> 0:06:50.240 we be prepared for that? 0:06:51.040 --> 0:06:51.120 No? 0:06:51.279 --> 0:06:53.800 I think that's where again, not sending large formations, not 0:06:53.839 --> 0:06:56.159 sending the first Armor Division, three hundred main battle tanks, 0:06:56.640 --> 0:07:00.240 t and forty brads, we're not sending the logis six 0:07:00.320 --> 0:07:03.800 that goes with that kind of the tail of that 0:07:03.960 --> 0:07:06.560 kind of operation is just unsustainable and there's really no 0:07:06.600 --> 0:07:08.600 way to get it there. Now at this point, the 0:07:09.120 --> 0:07:11.920 light infantry units will go Tense Mountain Division for example, 0:07:11.920 --> 0:07:14.520 that's not in the Rapid Deployment Force with the eighty 0:07:14.560 --> 0:07:17.080 second the Rangers Delta that those guys that move fast. 0:07:17.720 --> 0:07:19.440 But that's another division that can kind of get in 0:07:19.480 --> 0:07:21.480 there and get out. There's an airborne unit in Alaska 0:07:21.640 --> 0:07:25.080 that could probably go. They're just looking for again, getting 0:07:25.120 --> 0:07:28.800 troops in there, low logistics that can sustain themselves, don't 0:07:28.840 --> 0:07:33.280 need lots of things to go with them, take control 0:07:33.320 --> 0:07:35.800 of something and then hold it for a certain period 0:07:35.800 --> 0:07:37.960 of time. Again, go back to if we decide to 0:07:37.960 --> 0:07:40.880 take the refineries, which I think would be a tremendous 0:07:40.880 --> 0:07:43.920 military target right now, and I think hopefully they're working 0:07:43.960 --> 0:07:47.400 on that. I think that cripples around takes their ability 0:07:47.400 --> 0:07:50.240 to generate revenue and puts the United States to control 0:07:50.640 --> 0:07:53.200 of that oil resource. Now again, the world's going to scream, 0:07:53.280 --> 0:07:55.960 you know, the imperialistic you know Americans are doing it again. 0:07:56.440 --> 0:07:58.040 But that's the way to get this war to stop. 0:07:58.080 --> 0:08:00.520 That's waging war against the country fighting it. 0:08:01.280 --> 0:08:01.480 Mike. 0:08:01.520 --> 0:08:04.920 My final question is when you look at Iran's defense forces, 0:08:05.000 --> 0:08:07.560 have you heard of or seen any signs that there 0:08:07.640 --> 0:08:11.520 might be cracks in the loyalty or serious breakdowns in 0:08:11.520 --> 0:08:12.440 command and control. 0:08:13.640 --> 0:08:17.800 So no, and have seen us go after a beastiege targets, 0:08:17.840 --> 0:08:19.760 which surprised me. I thought that you were going to. 0:08:19.680 --> 0:08:20.160 See it there. 0:08:20.160 --> 0:08:25.520 I'd read previous incidents that the besiege would have somewhat 0:08:25.520 --> 0:08:28.760 turned against the IRGC because they were conflicting each other. 0:08:28.800 --> 0:08:30.680 It's kind of like big brother or little brother within 0:08:30.680 --> 0:08:32.199 the country. But it doesn't look like that's happened. 0:08:32.240 --> 0:08:35.000 It's looked that the besiege is still well aligned with 0:08:35.120 --> 0:08:38.440 the IRGC. The besiege think of the besiege is local 0:08:38.480 --> 0:08:43.240 police DHSS, you know, kind of not true military forces, 0:08:43.280 --> 0:08:45.679 but having control of the security. They're the ones that 0:08:45.679 --> 0:08:48.000 are there. They're killing the civilians right now that are 0:08:48.480 --> 0:08:51.400 protesting and they have become a target, so that that's 0:08:51.440 --> 0:08:54.320 been disappointing. But haven't seen the breakdown yet. I mean again, 0:08:54.320 --> 0:08:56.200 they've been dug in for forty seven years, they've been 0:08:56.200 --> 0:08:58.920 someone planning for this for forty seven years, and the 0:08:58.960 --> 0:09:01.920 IRGC is just not going away anytime yet. We We're 0:09:01.960 --> 0:09:04.560 not at the level where someone finally says enough's enough 0:09:04.679 --> 0:09:07.280 again because we haven't waged war we've just continued to fight. 0:09:08.360 --> 0:09:11.360 Mike, just fantastic, best analysis I've heard anywhere, and we 0:09:11.440 --> 0:09:14.480 sure appreciate the time and the energy you put into it. 0:09:14.520 --> 0:09:16.480 Thanks great, Thanks for having me. 0:09:16.600 --> 0:09:18.960 Yeah, that whole wage war versus fight war. I'm gonna 0:09:18.960 --> 0:09:21.160 have to spend more time looking into all that. That's 0:09:21.240 --> 0:09:21.960 really interesting. 0:09:22.280 --> 0:09:26.600 Seriously, Mike's analysis is so much better than anything else 0:09:26.720 --> 0:09:27.120 you hear. 0:09:28.920 --> 0:09:33.240 Ough, so good. I have there no military background and 0:09:33.320 --> 0:09:35.240 only what I've read about wars. I do know something 0:09:35.240 --> 0:09:37.080 about the media, though, and so like I'm looking up 0:09:37.080 --> 0:09:40.920 at the headlines on what is that? Good morning America? 0:09:41.280 --> 0:09:45.240 Stocks plunge, oil rises, on Iran war fears, which is 0:09:46.559 --> 0:09:50.400 true enough, but the drum beat of that sort of thing. 0:09:50.600 --> 0:09:56.680 Has there ever been in the history of the world 0:09:58.400 --> 0:10:05.160 a country go to war and your media, or maybe 0:10:05.160 --> 0:10:07.000 even the pre media era, I don't even know who 0:10:07.040 --> 0:10:09.520 you'd be talking about the I don't know, village elders 0:10:09.600 --> 0:10:17.280 or whatever, bad mouthing, bad mouthing their own efforts and exaggerating, 0:10:18.320 --> 0:10:22.600 making you know, positive things look like a failure. I mean, 0:10:22.640 --> 0:10:25.679 has that ever happened? I don't know if it has 0:10:25.800 --> 0:10:28.480 ever happened. Honest to god, you know history of the world, 0:10:28.559 --> 0:10:31.560 including like if you've got an Indian tribe going over 0:10:31.600 --> 0:10:33.160 to fight the next tribe on the other side of 0:10:33.160 --> 0:10:35.080 the hill, and everybody's standing around saying, aye, I heard, 0:10:35.120 --> 0:10:37.040 it's going horrible and as you can see, food is 0:10:37.040 --> 0:10:39.560 getting scared. So it's a disaster. When when all the 0:10:39.600 --> 0:10:41.400 facts on the ground are it's going fairly. 0:10:41.160 --> 0:10:46.520 Well, everything is clickbait and or narrative reinforcement, which is clickbait. 0:10:46.880 --> 0:10:50.560 Everything is clickbait in media. We really try to avoid that. 0:10:51.160 --> 0:10:54.280 It's probably a strategic mistake, but we're too stubborn to change. 0:10:54.360 --> 0:10:59.480 But sure interesting culturally, yeah, you know, and sometimes it 0:10:59.520 --> 0:11:02.120 probably was isn't good. What the Brits were doing in 0:11:02.160 --> 0:11:04.880 the Boer War wasn't wasn't the greatest thing in order, 0:11:05.880 --> 0:11:07.559 you know, God help you, who was it. 0:11:08.640 --> 0:11:10.440 I didn't pay attention to the Boer War, you know, 0:11:10.520 --> 0:11:13.760 I too boring Belgium and what they did to King Leopold. 0:11:13.800 --> 0:11:16.640 I mean, look into that sometime, but their own media 0:11:16.640 --> 0:11:18.640 wouldn't have been reporting that because they weren't allowed to 0:11:18.800 --> 0:11:21.720 s which is probably isn't good. But regardless, I don't 0:11:21.760 --> 0:11:24.680 know if it's ever happened where a country's gone to war, 0:11:24.760 --> 0:11:28.000 and you have media at home giving you the worst 0:11:28.040 --> 0:11:31.200 case scenario as a drum beat. So I'm looking at 0:11:31.240 --> 0:11:34.240 the markets right now, and the S and P was 0:11:34.280 --> 0:11:36.559 down about one and a quarter percent, it's now bounced 0:11:36.559 --> 0:11:38.640 back to desk and being down three quarters of a percent, 0:11:38.679 --> 0:11:42.200 and the Nasdaq is down about one percent, having also 0:11:42.320 --> 0:11:45.079 bounced back. So the idea that you would go with 0:11:45.160 --> 0:11:49.080 as a responsible news organization which plunge right exactly, that 0:11:49.120 --> 0:11:52.080 you would use that verbiage is hilarious. It's clickbait, period, 0:11:52.280 --> 0:11:57.360 although it does affect people's minds and their hearts and attitudes. 0:11:56.840 --> 0:11:58.800 About what were up to as a country. Well, if 0:11:58.840 --> 0:12:00.640 you had a really good media and you know you 0:12:00.679 --> 0:12:02.959 can't expect this, but they would give you some context. 0:12:03.679 --> 0:12:05.920 A point a percentage and a half drop in the 0:12:05.920 --> 0:12:09.080 stock market in one day doesn't mean a freaking thing. 0:12:09.480 --> 0:12:12.920 It means zero. There's so many factors that go into 0:12:13.000 --> 0:12:17.120 a percentage jumper down for one day. To draw any 0:12:17.120 --> 0:12:18.439 analysis from madis. 0:12:18.200 --> 0:12:21.600 Insane unless you just had on your calendar, I'm going 0:12:21.640 --> 0:12:24.240 to cash out all of my investments to retire on 0:12:24.360 --> 0:12:29.520 this day. Well, number one, you need a better financial advisor, right, right, 0:12:29.600 --> 0:12:30.280 better media. 0:12:30.720 --> 0:12:33.280 Yeah, that's something anyway, Any thoughts on any of that 0:12:33.320 --> 0:12:36.120 text line four one five two nine five KFTC. 0:12:40.760 --> 0:12:44.480 Major League Baseball, the Dodgers hosted the Diamondbacks at Dodgers Stadium. 0:12:44.960 --> 0:12:49.000 The Dogs LA is trying to win their third straight 0:12:49.040 --> 0:12:49.800 World Series. 0:12:49.880 --> 0:12:52.680 Dodgers right now are kind of like the Chicago Bulls 0:12:52.720 --> 0:12:55.880 from the nineties, except they have three Michael Jordan's and 0:12:55.920 --> 0:12:57.360 they're all Japanese. 0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:03.599 Mmm. I don't know if you signed the clips of 0:13:03.640 --> 0:13:07.960 Savannah Guthrie did an interview for the first time. The 0:13:08.040 --> 0:13:10.360 interesting thing to me was she's going to return to 0:13:10.400 --> 0:13:15.079 the Today Show April sixth, so next Friday. I didn't. 0:13:15.080 --> 0:13:18.040 I didn't think she'd ever come back after that. I 0:13:18.040 --> 0:13:18.839 don't know if I could. 0:13:20.280 --> 0:13:24.240 She's blaming she's blaming herself for her mom's Yeah that's 0:13:24.240 --> 0:13:24.640 too bad. 0:13:24.720 --> 0:13:29.160 Well, her fame. I guess that's too bad. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 0:13:29.160 --> 0:13:31.600 I can't. I have no idea how I would process 0:13:31.679 --> 0:13:32.520 that and what I would do. 0:13:33.000 --> 0:13:39.080 You know. Two months later, completely different topic, they found 0:13:39.160 --> 0:13:42.920 a second sphinx buried under the sand in Egypt. You 0:13:42.960 --> 0:13:47.920 know the stak, the big old the lion with a 0:13:47.960 --> 0:13:49.959 pharaoh's head or whatever the heck that thing is that 0:13:50.720 --> 0:13:54.960 the snake tailor Napoleon blew the nose off of it. 0:13:55.040 --> 0:13:58.199 That's why it looks like that. Thanks Napoleon, You jackass, 0:13:58.360 --> 0:14:02.080 couldn't you jackass? Anyway, they found another one buried under 0:14:02.120 --> 0:14:06.480 the sand, suggesting a megas structure of many pyramids and 0:14:06.520 --> 0:14:09.880 sphinxes that might exist under the sand. Still, I would 0:14:09.920 --> 0:14:11.439 have thought we'd have had some sort of X ray 0:14:11.480 --> 0:14:13.360 technology or something where we could have figured that out 0:14:13.400 --> 0:14:13.679 by now. 0:14:14.400 --> 0:14:18.240 Apparently, Yeah, given all the antiquities and riches and everything. 0:14:18.280 --> 0:14:20.040 On the other hand, maybe the pharaoh just had a 0:14:20.280 --> 0:14:23.000 Bogo coupon them. Buy one, get one by one's finx, 0:14:23.000 --> 0:14:23.680 get one free. 0:14:24.040 --> 0:14:24.480 Who knows. 0:14:26.160 --> 0:14:29.560 Jimmy the sphinx maker was struggling for business so started 0:14:29.600 --> 0:14:31.080 sending no coupons. 0:14:31.480 --> 0:14:36.520 Think about all the slaves whose entire lives were toiling 0:14:36.520 --> 0:14:38.400 in the hot sun to build those things. 0:14:38.680 --> 0:14:41.600 For one's things up there, and just bury the other 0:14:41.680 --> 0:14:43.960 one and we'll grab it when we needed well, I'll 0:14:43.960 --> 0:14:44.760 remember it's there. 0:14:45.720 --> 0:14:51.400 That's how it went. Some sort of super giant complex though, 0:14:51.400 --> 0:14:53.040 Oh that would be amazing. A's who I was said 0:14:53.040 --> 0:14:55.080 a couple of weeks ago, and I'm not to drag 0:14:55.160 --> 0:14:56.920 the Iran war back into this, but if the Middle 0:14:56.960 --> 0:14:59.760 East became like Europe, God, there's a lot of great 0:14:59.760 --> 0:15:03.360 too destinations there. No, I might just move there for 0:15:03.400 --> 0:15:09.680 a year, maybe two. Check out all this two stuff. Yeah, 0:15:10.040 --> 0:15:14.080 mentioned Trump's gonna put his signature on the money. Usually 0:15:14.080 --> 0:15:16.280 the Secretary of Treasury sens signs all the money, but 0:15:16.360 --> 0:15:19.280 it's gonna be Trumps signature. And then there's also a 0:15:19.280 --> 0:15:21.240 gold coin coming out with his face on it. I 0:15:21.280 --> 0:15:23.160 heard that on MS Now is that true? 0:15:23.360 --> 0:15:27.200 I didn't hear people on currency? Is that Is that 0:15:27.880 --> 0:15:30.200 a real rule or did you? That's the Joe Getty rule. 0:15:30.760 --> 0:15:33.320 That's myral. No, I think it's federal law, but I 0:15:33.560 --> 0:15:35.120 can't be sure. I mean, it's the sort of thing 0:15:35.160 --> 0:15:36.360 you learn as an eight year old. 0:15:36.680 --> 0:15:40.400 I'm not sure I care. I don't. I don't rank 0:15:40.480 --> 0:15:41.960 these up to the level of caring. 0:15:42.120 --> 0:15:46.280 So these sort of Trump's self aggrandizement is already so 0:15:46.440 --> 0:15:50.400 far beyond my comprehension and ability to believe it. That's 0:15:50.640 --> 0:15:52.560 one more thing, would just be one more thing. 0:15:52.720 --> 0:15:55.680 But does he feel like putting his name on the 0:15:56.040 --> 0:15:58.480 Kennedy Art Center, The Trump Kennedy Art Center or whatever 0:15:58.640 --> 0:16:03.400 is gonna last past the first Democratic administration. 0:16:04.360 --> 0:16:06.240 I have no idea how he thinks about these things. 0:16:06.240 --> 0:16:09.040 It seems nuts to me for reasons like that. 0:16:09.200 --> 0:16:13.400 Yeah, but again I don't care either way, not on 0:16:13.400 --> 0:16:15.480 my list. What is that thing you're going to tell 0:16:15.560 --> 0:16:19.200 us coming up? I love this, Oh, it's absolutely great. 0:16:19.320 --> 0:16:23.760 It's a psychotherapist who says he's talking about the next 0:16:23.800 --> 0:16:26.240 No King's rally. I had no idea one was happening. 0:16:26.240 --> 0:16:29.720 I guess it's happening tomorrow. No Kings politics is bad 0:16:29.800 --> 0:16:36.760 group therapy. There's a novelgics has become ineffective bad group therapy, 0:16:36.800 --> 0:16:37.600 and he explains why. 0:16:37.600 --> 0:16:39.960 He's very insightful. There will be a No King's rally 0:16:40.120 --> 0:16:42.800 while we're trying to get rid of a king in 0:16:42.840 --> 0:16:45.560 Iran and you're complaining about it, Okay. 0:16:46.880 --> 0:16:50.920 A king who behaves just like the Handmaid's Tale. 0:16:51.320 --> 0:16:54.640 Yes, anyway. Yeah, it's as if you people are idiots, 0:16:55.640 --> 0:16:58.680 the mindset of people who go to rallies and protests. 0:16:58.720 --> 0:17:00.400 So yeah, I look forward to talking about that and 0:17:00.440 --> 0:17:01.840 a whole bunch of other stuff that we got coming 0:17:01.920 --> 0:17:02.440 up on the show. 0:17:02.880 --> 0:17:05.200 Michael, do we still have that old clip quit being 0:17:05.240 --> 0:17:06.160 an idiot. 0:17:06.840 --> 0:17:09.880 That was one of the I can find its lots 0:17:09.920 --> 0:17:11.159 all the way if you missed the sec making the 0:17:11.160 --> 0:17:17.080 podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand Armstrong and Getty. 0:17:18.800 --> 0:17:22.120 It doesn't make any sense to have a swimmer who 0:17:22.160 --> 0:17:24.840 was the four hundred and seventy second ranked swimmer when 0:17:24.880 --> 0:17:28.320 he was a man at Penn either winning or coming 0:17:28.320 --> 0:17:31.040 close to winning against women a year and a half 0:17:31.240 --> 0:17:34.080 after transitioning. If that's what the person wants to do, 0:17:34.320 --> 0:17:36.919 that person should be treated with dignity and respect. But 0:17:36.960 --> 0:17:40.000 there ought to be common sense, and common sense is 0:17:40.040 --> 0:17:41.000 not transphobic. 0:17:41.480 --> 0:17:44.880 Well that's Bob Costas, who I think is an amazing 0:17:44.880 --> 0:17:47.880 announcer and one of the greatest interviews viewers in history. 0:17:48.800 --> 0:17:51.080 But if you follow Bob Costas, he got very political 0:17:51.119 --> 0:17:54.080 in the last several years. Where was that while this 0:17:54.359 --> 0:17:59.639 was happening, when that Penn swimmer was beaten all the 0:17:59.680 --> 0:18:01.560 girls and where were you? 0:18:01.600 --> 0:18:01.719 Then? 0:18:01.760 --> 0:18:03.639 Bob Goss says he didn't have the nerve to say that. 0:18:03.960 --> 0:18:06.720 Now he says it with obviously we all agree on this, 0:18:07.000 --> 0:18:07.439 it's not. 0:18:08.720 --> 0:18:11.720 Sort of I didn't realize he was passive while it 0:18:11.760 --> 0:18:12.240 was happening. 0:18:12.280 --> 0:18:13.560 When we are yelling about it. 0:18:13.600 --> 0:18:16.880 But anyway, Bob is actually reacting to the announcement from 0:18:16.920 --> 0:18:21.400 the IOC. And here's the iOS, the International Olympic Committee, 0:18:21.920 --> 0:18:23.679 their president, Kirsty Coventry. 0:18:24.080 --> 0:18:26.840 The policy that we have announced is based on science 0:18:27.200 --> 0:18:29.679 and it has been led by medical experts with the 0:18:29.720 --> 0:18:33.800 best interests of athletes at its heart. The scientific evidence 0:18:34.000 --> 0:18:38.520 is very clear male chromosomes give performance advantages in sports 0:18:38.520 --> 0:18:43.040 that rely on strength, power, or endurance. At the Olympic Games, 0:18:43.080 --> 0:18:46.439 even the smallest margins can be the difference between victory 0:18:46.480 --> 0:18:49.840 and defeat. So it's absolutely clear that it would not 0:18:49.960 --> 0:18:53.359 be fair for biological males to compete in the female category. 0:18:53.920 --> 0:18:56.960 In addition, in some sports it would simply not be safe. 0:18:57.720 --> 0:19:01.480 Can you imagine reviving perhaps loved one who passed away 0:19:01.520 --> 0:19:05.399 fifteen years ago, right, and they would hear that, and 0:19:05.440 --> 0:19:11.000 they would say, they're talking about men playing in women's sports. 0:19:11.119 --> 0:19:14.600 Why is she answering a question nobody's ever asked, and 0:19:14.720 --> 0:19:17.200 why is she so worthy? The answer is, no, men 0:19:17.200 --> 0:19:20.120 can't play in women's sports. We're through here. Yeah, yeah, 0:19:20.160 --> 0:19:22.680 it is so astonishing and in some cases are dangerous. 0:19:22.680 --> 0:19:24.440 You mean, like when that dude beat the crap out 0:19:24.440 --> 0:19:26.520 of the girls in the boxing, to the point that 0:19:26.560 --> 0:19:28.560 some of them quit halfway through, like I'm gonna get 0:19:28.600 --> 0:19:30.000 killed out of here exactly. 0:19:30.000 --> 0:19:33.520 I'm even in non combat sports like basketball, volleyball. Terrible 0:19:33.520 --> 0:19:36.520 injuries to young women and grown women as well. Yeah, 0:19:36.560 --> 0:19:39.800
