1
00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:06,160
Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George

2
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.

3
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:24,919
Speaker 2: Armstrong and Jetty and no He Armstrong and Getty. Dumdum

4
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 2: but dumb but dub Dub Music's Jamin, Isn't it Huh?

5
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:35,960
Speaker 1: Sure it is? Yes. Speaking of show business, a couple

6
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 1: of notes, I will continue our discussion of the utter

7
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 1: ridiculous racist idiocy of the progressive left and insisting only

8
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:48,600
Speaker 1: a Korean person can play this role, et cetera, et cetera.

9
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 1: We're talking about at the end of last hour, because

10
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 1: there's more great ridiculous examples.

11
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 2: John Bolton has pled not guilty to mishandling classified information

12
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 2: he yesterday, which is technically true. But it's not like

13
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 2: he was hold up in a barn with weapons right

14
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 2: in a shootout with the elliot ness. He's got a

15
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 2: nail file hidden in his mustache. He'll be able to

16
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 2: break out a jail, but a chainsaw on my time anyway.

17
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 2: All sorts of good stuff to squeeze into the last

18
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 2: hour of the week. But first, it's Friday tradition. Let's

19
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 2: take a fun look back at the week it was.

20
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 2: It's cow clips of the week, indicted by a federal

21
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 2: grand jury. Sure, bad, but the way it goes, that's

22
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:38,839
Speaker 2: the way it goes.

23
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 3: Right.

24
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 4: They discovered the material that Iran had hacked through a

25
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 4: US intelligence penetration.

26
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 2: Of a rack. Twenty newly freed hostages and their families hug, cry, kiss,

27
00:01:54,480 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 2: screen and pray and God bless the Middle East. Thank you, everybody.

28
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: I really command President Trump. I've commend the Qatars, the Egyptians,

29
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 1: and the President. This is not going to be a

30
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 1: bloodless process.

31
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:16,079
Speaker 5: And if they don't disarm, we will disarm them. President

32
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 5: Trump says, US forces struck another small boat carrying drugs

33
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 5: in the waters off Venezuela.

34
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: I did actually say, would you mind if I gave

35
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 1: a couple of thousand tomahawks too your opposition.

36
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 2: I did say that to him. I said it just

37
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 2: that way.

38
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 5: You have to be a little bit lighthearted sometimes.

39
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 3: Is it a silver bullet? No, I don't think so.

40
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 2: Nothing nothing is an Operation Summer Heat included more than

41
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:42,519
Speaker 2: eighty six hundred arrests.

42
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 3: Meantime across the border DHS as Mexican criminal gangs are

43
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 3: placing bouties on the heads of federal law enforcement.

44
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 1: I'm going to be strongly recommending that you start to

45
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: looking at San Francisco.

46
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 2: This is not a job for a first timer.

47
00:02:58,720 --> 00:02:59,360
Speaker 1: Any day.

48
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,679
Speaker 3: I have a hurricane and you were a health pandemic.

49
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 6: And if we have a health pandemic, then why would

50
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 6: New Yorkers turn back to the governor who sent seniors

51
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 6: to their death in nursing homes.

52
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,119
Speaker 4: So after we realized there was a boy on the team,

53
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 4: and let me just say, this person is eighteen years old,

54
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 4: so it's he's a grown man.

55
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:22,959
Speaker 2: Black oh down a sidelight and slay or sap of

56
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 2: the Sixers Higgins. Brilliant, just brilliant. Here I go. So

57
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 2: Trump was on the phone with Putting for two hours

58
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 2: yesterday and claims he brought up the whole Tomahawks thing,

59
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 2: said what did you think if I sent a whole

60
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 2: bunch of Tomawks Ukraine? Now? When do you think of that?

61
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 2: And he said Putin didn't like that much. I didn't

62
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 2: like that. I'll tell you that. So where that goes,

63
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 2: I don't.

64
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 1: Know what's going to be different this time. It's my question.

65
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 1: We tried this in Alaska. There could be a perfectly

66
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 1: reasonable answer to that. But I'm curious more pressure, so

67
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 1: got to be much more pressure me.

68
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 2: The Financial Times, I think had an article with some

69
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 2: stuff I hadn't seen it before. Talking to people both

70
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 2: in Russia that were around the meeting and people in

71
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 2: the United States all talking on conditions of anonymity that

72
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:19,719
Speaker 2: what happened there in Russia was in Russia. In Alaska,

73
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 2: when Trump met with Putin in that room, it was

74
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:28,600
Speaker 2: only him Putin, like a handful of people, including in translators.

75
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 2: Putin did that whole launching into the history of Russia

76
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 2: and Ukraine, going back to the year six hundred thing

77
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 2: for a long time, and Trump got really upset about it,

78
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 2: threatened to get up and leave. At one point, was

79
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,559
Speaker 2: clearly super pissed off that he was playing that game.

80
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 2: And that's what ended up canceling the You know, they're

81
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,280
Speaker 2: supposed to have a press conference and a lunch and

82
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 2: all that sort of stuff, and he canceled it. After that,

83
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,720
Speaker 2: he was he did not dig that at all. Why

84
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 2: he thinks it's going to be different this time, I

85
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 2: don't know. Maybe he just is ready to immediately no, no, no,

86
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 2: no history lessons, we ain't doing that again, or something.

87
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:11,159
Speaker 1: I don't know. Right, yeah, huh yeah, Okay, I remain

88
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: uneasy with Trump's relationship with Putin, but you know it'll

89
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: play out in front of us. So back to the

90
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:20,280
Speaker 1: topic of the last hour, which is the idiotic progressive

91
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 1: insistence on what do they even call it? You've got

92
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:32,840
Speaker 1: to have if you have a Hispanic gay man as

93
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,840
Speaker 1: a character in a play or movie or whatever, it's

94
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 1: got to be played by a Hispanic gay man. Right.

95
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 2: And this rule, by the way, has been around for

96
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 2: like five minutes. I mean, because some of the best

97
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 2: acting performances in world history have been by people that

98
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 2: weren't specifically that.

99
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 1: Right, And this account that we shared starts with a woman,

100
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 1: an author, an.

101
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 2: Act went back up just a second, What is even

102
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 2: the theory behind that? So Tom Hanks one?

103
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 1: Otherwise it's an imitation of race. It's practically blackface Jack.

104
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 2: Tom Hanks won the Oscar for playing a gay guy

105
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 2: with AIDS in the movie Philadelphia. That would be a

106
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 2: completely out of bounds I guess by all Mota standards,

107
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 2: one hundred percent a gay man with aids to play

108
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 2: the role.

109
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know if they've gone that far.

110
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 1: But anyway, so this author who was doing selections from

111
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 1: her book Women Warriors about heroic woman and was informed

112
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:33,840
Speaker 1: she could not do any black characters because she was

113
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 1: a white woman. Couldn't even talk about them, I guess

114
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 1: just or read their words because that would be wrong.

115
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 1: And she's filed suit. It's just idiotic because she said, no,

116
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 1: I'm not going to do just white women. I've got

117
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,119
Speaker 1: this sensial selection of all different women regardless of the race,

118
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 1: and the woke library said you will not do any

119
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:55,279
Speaker 1: women of color. How sick this is? And we mentioned

120
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:57,280
Speaker 1: another movie example. If you didn't get it, grabbed the

121
00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,919
Speaker 1: podcast Armstrong and getting on demanded last hour. But here's

122
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 1: here's perhaps my favorite, uh, this year's Tony Award winner

123
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 1: for Best Music Well, which, of course, Michael you know

124
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 1: is maybe Happy Ending. I know you've seen it three

125
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 1: times on Broadway. Yeah, it's become an unwitting example of

126
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 1: the theater community self defeating barriers. The get this Now

127
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: The musical is a love story set in South Korea

128
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 1: about two decombition decommissioned robots.

129
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 2: Okay, okay.

130
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: When the show announced that Andrew Barth Feldman would take

131
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 1: over the lead role, when Darren Chris leaves their production.

132
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 1: The news did not sit well for many on Broadway,

133
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: with some saying that this casting decision caused quote pain

134
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 1: and profound disappointment, and that it was quote a hard

135
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 1: slap in the face robots. That is because Feldman, the

136
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 1: new guy is white and the old guy is half Filipino,

137
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 1: and critics are convinced that only Asian actors can play

138
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 1: the lead. The show's very creators defended the new guy,

139
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 1: clarifying that their intention was the for the show quote

140
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: to be comfortably performed by anyone anywhere. The robot leads

141
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: don't have Korean names, even in the Korean version of

142
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 1: the show. They were meant to be ethnically undefined. And

143
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 1: don't even ask how a half Filipino actor was deemed

144
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: Korean adjacent enough by race obsessed critics. Let's not even

145
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 1: go there. And interestingly enough, Korean American actor Daniel Day

146
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:36,079
Speaker 1: Kim explained recently that he was emphatically opposed to ethnic

147
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 1: specific casting, arguing there's been an over correction by casting directors.

148
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 1: Quote and here's a thinking man. There are very often

149
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 1: times when the role itself has not been thought through.

150
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:49,080
Speaker 1: It doesn't require any kind of specificity in the stories

151
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 1: it's being told, or in the specifics of the character,

152
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 1: because very often if it's not even being written, because

153
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 1: very often it's not even being written by an Asian person,

154
00:08:58,120 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: so they don't know the difference in what they're asking

155
00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 1: for or and yet casting is very specific.

156
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 2: Was this the one that the comedian is it? Ronnie Cheng.

157
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 2: He's one of the hosts of the Daily show stand

158
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:13,959
Speaker 2: up Comedian. He's got specials on Netflix, Super Funny Guy Chinese.

159
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 2: Was this one or some other one? But anyway, he

160
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 2: was asked about the controversy and he said, it's all stupid.

161
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 2: I don't care. It doesn't make any difference, right, And.

162
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 1: Then this piece in the National Review mentions a handful

163
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 1: of great roles played by black people through the years

164
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 1: that were written by white people, and they point out

165
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 1: that it's just a short step from only an Asian

166
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 1: actor can play this character to only a white actor

167
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:44,319
Speaker 1: can play this character too, Only a white actor can

168
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 1: read the brilliant words in a script written by a

169
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 1: white man. We won't put those words in the mouth

170
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 1: of a black person, right, I mean, these it's insane.

171
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 2: It's a cult. And obviously it would be pretty limiting

172
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 2: on art. Sure, going down that road.

173
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 1: And you know what, ed, it's hard and this is

174
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 1: my last word on the topic. But it and this

175
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 1: is the most ugly awful part of all this. It

176
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 1: denies the common humanity of different people. If you know

177
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 1: the you know they mentioned this Asian half Filipino actor

178
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 1: I've never heard of. If his longtime love leaves him,

179
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 1: he will feel very much like I do, and very

180
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 1: much like they mentioned Interrace Elba, the great Black British actor,

181
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: he'll feel about the same as well. This this you know,

182
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 1: the boyfriend of this lady who wanted to read about

183
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:44,440
Speaker 1: the the woman heroes. We're all humans, for God's sake.

184
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 1: The most obscene part is that it tries to deny that.

185
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:51,559
Speaker 1: But as always with these people, it's not because they

186
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 1: sincerely believe this, or if they do, they're stupid. It's

187
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 1: an effort to take control of stuff. You don't know

188
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 1: what to do anymore, you don't know what's sok anymore,

189
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 1: So you tell them you be in charge. Because I'm

190
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 1: tired of being called a racist. That's what it's all about.

191
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 2: So Zelensky's about to show up to the White House.

192
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 2: I'm keeping my eye on the cable news because if

193
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 2: he's not in a.

194
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 1: Slight tie and tails, he needs to look like Lipperachi.

195
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 2: If he's not in his suit, I say you tomahawk him.

196
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 1: Yea.

197
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 2: I don't need to be messing with somebody. He's not

198
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 2: even willing to wear a suit. You see that. The

199
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 2: interesting thing about all these little deals is they could

200
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 2: be world history changing on a major level.

201
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 1: Yeah.

202
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:41,840
Speaker 2: Like for sometimes we get caught up in streneous details

203
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 2: that really aren't that important. But such is the modern world.

204
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 2: As we were just discussing extraneous details that really aren't iportant.

205
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 1: Well, if I get caught up with them, it doesn't matter.

206
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,320
Speaker 1: If Donald J. Trump gets caught up with him, that matters.

207
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 2: I took in a podcast yesterday about well, I'm gonna

208
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:06,839
Speaker 2: say the teas won't be any good. I'm just gonna

209
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 2: tell you it's interesting. It's an historical thing that I

210
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 2: want to get to.

211
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 1: Okay.

212
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 2: Also, speaking of tomahawk missiles, we ought to play a

213
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:16,679
Speaker 2: little bit of Mike Lines was on the show yesterday

214
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 2: and you might not have heard it, explaining how much

215
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 2: benefit or lack thereof, there would be to giving Ukraine

216
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 2: tomahawk missiles. I feel like nobody has been pointing that out.

217
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 2: People could just keep throwing around the term, and Trump's

218
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,679
Speaker 2: thrown around the term as if we all know what

219
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:32,840
Speaker 2: tomahawk missiles are and what they're capable of, what they

220
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 2: would do. I don't. So we got all that coming

221
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 2: up this hour stick around.

222
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 6: Putin told Trump what he's been saying publicly for some time,

223
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 6: which is that these missiles, these Tomahawks, even though they've

224
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 6: got a long range of more than fifteen hundred miles,

225
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 6: even though they could potentially target Moscow and Saint Petersburg,

226
00:12:54,400 --> 00:13:00,200
Speaker 6: they could help Ukraine target energy infrastructure locations around there,

227
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 6: at least in the new European parts of Russia. Putin

228
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 6: saying he does not believe that these will have a

229
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 6: significant impact on the battlefield.

230
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 2: Now, of course you would say that if you were

231
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:14,080
Speaker 2: a Putin. But we had Mike Lines, one of our

232
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 2: favorite go to military analysts, on yesterday, and my first

233
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 2: question to him was, I feel like all news reports

234
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 2: about Tomahawk missiles leave out one important thing, like what

235
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 2: are they, what are they capable of? What are they

236
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,320
Speaker 2: not capable of? All that sort of stuff. They just

237
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 2: throw it around like we're all familiar with this because

238
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,439
Speaker 2: we're all military experts, and we're not. So we talked

239
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:38,320
Speaker 2: to Mike Lions who is and asked him about the

240
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 2: Tomahawks missile Tomahawk missiles which Trump is going to discuss

241
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 2: with Zelensky today in the Oval Office. Now, how big

242
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 2: a deal it would be.

243
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 3: Well, it's not an easy cast to all of a

244
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 3: sudden give Tomahawk cruise missiles to the Ukrainians because there's

245
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 3: no land based firing system. I from him that if

246
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 3: you notice they're called vertical launchers v launchers. They have

247
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 3: to launch as a rocket, They go up straight in

248
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 3: the air and then they get propels, then they get

249
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 3: they get you know, to go into their target from there.

250
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 3: So it's not an easy solution. Now, however, they would

251
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,839
Speaker 3: provide deep strike capability for Ukraine. Should there be this

252
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 3: land based, land based solution to that. The Raytheon says

253
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 3: that they have. We haven't. We haven't seen that, but

254
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 3: it would it would provide much deeper strikes into Russia

255
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 3: that they would have to defend against, and it would

256
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 3: allow Ukraine this increase capability. Is it a silver bullet? No,

257
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 3: I don't think so.

258
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 2: Nothing, nothing, is was that fifty six or fifty seven?

259
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 2: I feel like I guess fifty six. He says silver

260
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 2: bullet in the next Okay, But anyway, he made the

261
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 2: point that I hadn't heard anybody else say, because you

262
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 2: when you ever hear tomahawk missiles used in the news,

263
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 2: if you've ever been paid intention for these, it was

264
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 2: fired from the USS whatever that was in the Black

265
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 2: Sea and landed in Iran or something. They get fired

266
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 2: from ships, and so he was confused as to how

267
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 2: the's ever going to be used. Now there is a claim,

268
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 2: like he said that there is a way to fire

269
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 2: him for land, but he's never seen it before. It's

270
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 2: never been used before, so that'd be a kind of

271
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 2: a big deal.

272
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I wouldn't think Trump would be talking about it

273
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 1: if it wasn't doable. But I don't know the answer.

274
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 2: I would hope, But I'm often surprised on how journalists

275
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 2: don't take the time to dig into these stories at all.

276
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, that's absolutely true.

277
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 2: Speaking of warfare, I was listening to a podcast yesterday

278
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 2: The Rest is History. If you've never if you're a

279
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 2: history fan and you've never listened to the Rest of History, Oh,

280
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 2: my god, gazillions episode. Just scroll through and find one

281
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 2: of your favorite topics. It's so good. But they're talking.

282
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 1: There's still much good content. I call for the government

283
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 1: to throttle it.

284
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 2: No kidding, there is so much good content. Here's the lesson.

285
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 2: Don't I'm talking to me here. Don't let yourself waste

286
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 2: any time watching or listening to something that's just average.

287
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 2: If you all of a sudden you find yourself you're

288
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 2: watching or listening to this thing and it's just kind

289
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 2: of not digging it. There's so many great things out there.

290
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 2: Only listen to or watch great That's what I'm That

291
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 2: needs to be my new standard because there's so.

292
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 1: Much people clicking out all over America. Nice job, idiot.

293
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 2: But anyway, they were doing the big battle with Admiral

294
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 2: Nelson there in England and Trafalgar and all that sort

295
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 2: of stuff when they took on the French in the

296
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 2: Spanish one of the great naval battles in the history

297
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 2: of the world, and kind of did in Napoleon's plans

298
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 2: of taking over England. You're probably you were just there.

299
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 2: You're probably in Trafalgar Square and saw the giant pull

300
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 2: that goes up in the air of the Neilson thing.

301
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 2: But the description of what those naval battles were like

302
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 2: back in the day, Holy crap. None of us ever

303
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 2: do anything that horrifying or gruesome ever in our lives.

304
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 2: I highly recommend looking into that if you want to.

305
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 2: But man, you're gonna get your arms blown off and

306
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 2: be seasick and rats everywhere, and just incredible.

307
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 1: It's so funny how you can closs over it with

308
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 1: a couple of sentences and then the great naval bottle

309
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:08,880
Speaker 1: of y. Yeah, yeah, right, yeah.

310
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:11,200
Speaker 2: Oh, we got a lot more on the wife. You

311
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:12,159
Speaker 2: missed a segment get.

312
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 1: Podcast, Armstrong and Getty coming up.

313
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 2: I'm trying to get executive producer Hanson working on it.

314
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 2: He's got we got audio of Hilaria Baldwin is then

315
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 2: how you say your name? She close She got kicked

316
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:29,679
Speaker 2: off Dancing with the Stars, and she put out an

317
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 2: Instagram video complaining about the bullying she received. It's kind

318
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:38,400
Speaker 2: of funny. So anyway, maybe next maybe we can get

319
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:39,159
Speaker 2: to that next segment.

320
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:43,199
Speaker 1: Fabulous something to look forward to. Michael, I'd asked for

321
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:46,439
Speaker 1: twenty Did you not hear me? Twenty? Did we do twenty?

322
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 4: Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell falling at the Capitol in the

323
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 4: eighty three year old falling while being asked a question

324
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:54,639
Speaker 4: about the ice crackdowns. He got up and continued walking

325
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 4: with the help of staff. Earlier this year, he said

326
00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:58,919
Speaker 4: he would not be seeking re election.

327
00:17:59,160 --> 00:17:59,679
Speaker 2: I saw that.

328
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, but he's running for reelection in twenty twenty seven.

329
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 1: According to my math, that's like the year after next.

330
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:10,440
Speaker 1: So no way he lasts. I think we may be

331
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 1: moving beyond what would you call it an octagen c gentocracy.

332
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:23,880
Speaker 1: People have called it, Yeah, genttocracy. That's a good worse octagenttocracy. Anyway. Yeah,

333
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 1: there's a seth Moulten's challenging ed Marky is that the

334
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 1: guy's name, a seventy nine and a half year old

335
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 1: senator is running for reelection. No, guy's eighty and he's

336
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 1: running for reelection. That's ridiculous. Anyway, Speaking of who's in

337
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 1: who's out, I found this very interesting. Xjin Ping China

338
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 1: has purged its second most senior general and eight other

339
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 1: high ranking military commanders. As in The Wall Street Journal

340
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 1: takes this seriously, which is interesting if you've studied communist regimes.

341
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 1: But it says, as leader Shejan Ping dials up a

342
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 1: crackdown on corruption disloyalty in the armed forces.

343
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, what are you seriously?

344
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 1: Are you a freshman in political science or yeah, you

345
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 1: take that seriously. It's just that's what you say when

346
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 1: you decide to get rid of someone.

347
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:15,159
Speaker 2: But dictators regularly get rid of all the generals because

348
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,640
Speaker 2: you are scared they're scheming against you. See it, turn

349
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 2: them over quickly on a regular basis.

350
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:25,919
Speaker 1: General he Wide Dong. That's quite a name, lower ranking

351
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 1: of two vice chairmen on the Communist Party's top decision

352
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:32,120
Speaker 1: to making military body blah blah blah has been dismissed

353
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:35,879
Speaker 1: from the party in the military for severe disciplinary violations

354
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 1: and abuses of power. According to the spokesman, who knows

355
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 1: what actually was happening.

356
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 2: And it could be nothing like I said. That was

357
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 2: the history with Stalin and Sadam and name your dictator.

358
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 2: Every once in a while, you get rid of the

359
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 2: generals because you start doing Hey, guys, look at me.

360
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 2: Kind of funny, wasn't he Yeah, there wasn't that weird

361
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 2: what he said the other day? And you just get

362
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:57,439
Speaker 2: paranoid about the powerful people close to you. See it,

363
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:00,439
Speaker 2: turn them over on a regular basis, and once thing.

364
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,679
Speaker 1: That's kind of counterintuitive, or at least it was for

365
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 1: me is I hadn't realized. And interestingly enough, slave owners

366
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:12,439
Speaker 1: do the same thing. Dictators will sometimes get rid of

367
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:16,359
Speaker 1: people for no reason whatsoever, So everybody's going around saying,

368
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:19,639
Speaker 1: what the hell did he do? What? Why did they

369
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:24,680
Speaker 1: get rid of him? Which instills your desperation to please

370
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 1: the dictator? And Chesen Ping is evil incarnate, but he's

371
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:34,640
Speaker 1: really really good at his job. I wish a guy

372
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,159
Speaker 1: like that would write a book toward the end of

373
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 1: his reign, Jesien Ping, Here's how I did it? Or

374
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:44,879
Speaker 1: don't call me pooh, the Xesien Ping story.

375
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:45,240
Speaker 2: You know.

376
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 1: Anyway, moving along to a different malign part of the world,

377
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 1: what's Stephonic? At least Stephonic and Tom Cotton are urging

378
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 1: the Trump administration to investigate the Council on Islamic American

379
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:07,920
Speaker 1: Islamic Relation care they're links to Hamas. According to the

380
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 1: letter obtained by the Free Beacon. If you've studied this

381
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 1: at all, the so called legit groups that just happen

382
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:21,199
Speaker 1: to hate Israel and are up with Islam and the

383
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 1: rest of it, they get just far enough from the

384
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 1: really evil guys to have plausible deniability, but it doesn't

385
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 1: take a lot of dot connecting.

386
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, my favorite critique of the way things have gone

387
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 2: down this past week is how people aren't who have

388
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 2: been so critical, critical and talking about genocide don't seem

389
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 2: to be so excited about the fact that the genocide

390
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:45,919
Speaker 2: has come to a close, and not to mention the

391
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 2: fact that they were never worked up about any of

392
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 2: the other Arab on Arab killings that have been going

393
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:53,119
Speaker 2: on for the past decade or so. I mean, just

394
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:57,920
Speaker 2: hundreds of thousands of people slaughtered in Syria and Yemen,

395
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:01,120
Speaker 2: and you know, you name the country by other Arabs

396
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 2: and just nobody cares. Nobody kill you.

397
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:06,440
Speaker 1: They're a handful of going out in Africa, or Arabs

398
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:11,639
Speaker 1: killing black people in Africa, nobody cares. Nope, nope. Just

399
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 1: the one with the Jews, which is clearly not a

400
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:16,959
Speaker 1: genocide for a dozen reasons I could cite for you,

401
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 1: including that the Jews just signed an agreement saying, yeah, okay,

402
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:23,680
Speaker 1: the war's over if everybody abides by the worlds. Yeah,

403
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 1: that's a poor genocide. They're not very good at it anyway.

404
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:32,160
Speaker 1: It should be really interesting to see how this investigation

405
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 1: comes out. And by interesting I mean completely predictable. I

406
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:39,920
Speaker 1: had quite a number of sources in the FBI right

407
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:41,719
Speaker 1: after nine to eleven, the couple of years after nine

408
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 1: to eleven. Initially the FBI said, hey, we got to

409
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:49,479
Speaker 1: have outreach to Muslim organizations. Number one, so we can

410
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:51,359
Speaker 1: all live together in peace. And number two so if

411
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 1: there are any radicals, they can tell us about it

412
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:57,680
Speaker 1: and we won't mistake good America loving Muslims for radicals.

413
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 1: And they started working with care and it wasn't very

414
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:04,200
Speaker 1: long after that where they realized, oh, wait a minute,

415
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:06,679
Speaker 1: you really take a look at this organization. They are

416
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 1: not at all what they claim to be. And they stopped.

417
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:12,480
Speaker 1: So anyway, more on that to come. And finally, I'm

418
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 1: just going to hit you with this headline, and then

419
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 1: I've got to admit I am in favor of a

420
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 1: jarring transition. But the headline, it's the Israeli hostages who

421
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:29,119
Speaker 1: were held and starved and beaten and tortured and terrified

422
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:34,879
Speaker 1: and mock executions and the rest of it. One of

423
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 1: the worst I heard was one of the guys held

424
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:39,880
Speaker 1: for two years when the Hamas people finally were letting

425
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:44,959
Speaker 1: him go. They had one of those camera, those weird

426
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:49,199
Speaker 1: on stage pr events staged by Hamas. This was the

427
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 1: last round of guys before this final round. They said, look,

428
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 1: just look into the camera, emphasize how excited you are

429
00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:00,200
Speaker 1: to see your wife and your daughters, and blah blah blah.

430
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 1: Talk about that. He said, all right, yeah, whatever, and

431
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 1: he goes on and on about that. Well, Hamas knew

432
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:07,359
Speaker 1: all along they'd murdered his wife and dogs.

433
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:08,920
Speaker 2: Oh my god, but.

434
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:12,160
Speaker 1: That was their final brutal emotional tortures.

435
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 2: Oh my god.

436
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 1: Knowingly they're subhuman, they're monsters. So anyway, here's one of

437
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:21,359
Speaker 1: the guys in the latest round there. I said, so yeah, yeah,

438
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:23,439
Speaker 1: and I hope the US has a hand in it.

439
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:29,400
Speaker 1: Here's the headline for you. His captors were teachers, university lecturers,

440
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:36,119
Speaker 1: and doctors. Israeli hostage reveals. One of the guards was

441
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 1: the first grade teacher, another was a lecture at university,

442
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 1: another was a doctor. He said, this is Shoham. What's

443
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 1: his first name? Do we have? Oh, tal Shoham. These

444
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:52,400
Speaker 1: are normal people become terrorists, he described as captors. Hamas

445
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:55,919
Speaker 1: captors is so brainwashed him, so full of hate that

446
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 1: his five hundred and five days into Captivity included a

447
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 1: lot of torture and cruelty. Yeah, unbelievable. All right, Uh Michael,

448
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:08,160
Speaker 1: how about a little transit transition music.

449
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 2: Oh wow, that's a good one, hennoid bringing.

450
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:25,399
Speaker 1: I like how the guy goes yodel.

451
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:32,640
Speaker 2: And just random chicken oid. This is a mister.

452
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 1: Piece is a masterpiece. Anyway, I don't remember speaking of music.

453
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:40,119
Speaker 1: Quickly turn it off before we're all insane. I was

454
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 1: never a big Kiss fan back when I was a

455
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 1: young lad. I thought it was.

456
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:47,120
Speaker 2: Jiv and stupid Joe was too good for Kiss.

457
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 1: Well. I was pretentious and picky, like all teenage music freaks.

458
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 1: But now I look back and I'm marvel at their

459
00:25:56,560 --> 00:26:02,440
Speaker 1: a entrepreneurial spirit and merchandising and creativity and the rest

460
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:05,600
Speaker 1: of it. And honestly, I look back they did something

461
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:10,200
Speaker 1: completely different and stuck with it. And I've read about

462
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 1: when they were starting in the New York clubs and

463
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:13,639
Speaker 1: everybody's like, what the f is this?

464
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:16,639
Speaker 2: Now they crafted a thing which is pretty impressive.

465
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 1: It is. I wasn't a big fan of the songs,

466
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 1: but you've got to admire their their sense of purpose,

467
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:30,400
Speaker 1: and dedication and sticking their necks out.

468
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 2: Me and the boys are playing and we just can't

469
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:33,240
Speaker 2: find the sound.

470
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:37,640
Speaker 1: Oh that's frustrating. Oh yeah, but you need to shut

471
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:41,919
Speaker 1: up because we're practicing anyway. I've not heard this, but

472
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:47,400
Speaker 1: this is the great Tom Snyder, great interviewer of the seventies, eighties, eighties,

473
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 1: talking to Ace Freely, the original league guitaris from Kiss

474
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 1: who just passed away. It's clip number twenty four. Michael,

475
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:58,360
Speaker 1: bought your outfits? I mean, did you design your own outfits?

476
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:01,160
Speaker 1: All of you? And tell me what each out that means?

477
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 1: And I'll start with you.

478
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 5: A well, that means self explanatory. I mean, you know

479
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 5: this is part of a kind of a V shape.

480
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:13,720
Speaker 5: This is my utility belt, and we don't want to

481
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 5: go any belower than my waist area because that's reserved

482
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 5: for constant players.

483
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:19,760
Speaker 2: I understand that.

484
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:21,680
Speaker 1: And then and they say, this.

485
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 5: Is I still Flash Gordon.

486
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:29,159
Speaker 2: And you know I have my But you're kind of

487
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 2: like a space man.

488
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:37,640
Speaker 1: No, actually, I'm a plumber. Listen. I got a little

489
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:40,119
Speaker 1: piece of pipe bastage I'd like to have you work on.

490
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 6: But I like that.

491
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, only one reason you to joke.

492
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 5: That much, you see.

493
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 2: But I'll tell you I read on the sheet that

494
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 2: they gave me where they said that it's hard to

495
00:27:58,240 --> 00:27:59,360
Speaker 2: get you out of your shelf.

496
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 1: So you know, it's funny. I was reminded for the

497
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 1: empteenth time that they're a bunch of like working class

498
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:08,680
Speaker 1: New Yorkers.

499
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:11,160
Speaker 2: Well, Hanson watched the video. He said, when you watch

500
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 2: it one, it's obvious that aces out of his mind

501
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:18,400
Speaker 2: on whatever is why he's laughing so much. And Gene Simmons,

502
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 2: the real businessman in the band, was completely stone cold

503
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:23,919
Speaker 2: sober as he has been his whole life, and was

504
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 2: not digging the way they were acting at all. Oh wow,

505
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:29,879
Speaker 2: he was not digging it. How interest like, you know,

506
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 2: this is not professional, this is not helping us. This

507
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 2: is which is kind of funny.

508
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 1: This is a great opportunity for us.

509
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 2: My takeaway on this, and I try to remember that

510
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 2: as a parent now is just I was not really

511
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 2: a Kiss fan, but I knew how culturally like parents

512
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 2: across the country were worried about their kids listening to

513
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 2: Kiss music and the blood and the devil imagery and

514
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:56,480
Speaker 2: all the different sort of stuff and where is this headed?

515
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 2: And godlessness and blah, blah and all just seems ridiculous

516
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 2: looking back on it.

517
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, it's just the provocative for the sake of

518
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 1: being provocative thing and a lot of people going along

519
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 1: with it. Uh yeah. I remember all those controversies, as

520
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 1: you know, music freak. I was paying attention to all

521
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 1: of them. I actually watched the damn hearings where like

522
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 1: d Snyder and Frank Zapple were testifying in front of

523
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 1: Tipper Gore in Congress about whether there should be parental

524
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:25,760
Speaker 1: advisory stickers and you know, censorship or whatever.

525
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 2: Lord, and then the music my son listens to now

526
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 2: that my oldest son listens to, and that sometimes I'll

527
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 2: let him have ox as they call it, and he

528
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 2: can run the music in the car on the way home.

529
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 2: And I mean, it's just so freaking filthy. I mean,

530
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 2: it's just as pornograph pornographic as anything could possibly be

531
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:45,680
Speaker 2: compared to. Parents are worried about kids.

532
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 1: Oh my god, did you ever talk to him about it?

533
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, it doesn't seem to mean anything to him, that's

534
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:54,720
Speaker 2: my observation. To him and his friends, it's just like

535
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:57,239
Speaker 2: it's just it's just words. It's just like it's a

536
00:29:57,280 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 2: put on kind of like with kiss. I guess it's

537
00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 2: just act. It's not really doesn't mean anything.

538
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:09,120
Speaker 1: Right, Gene Simmons doesn't actually like for some reason, believe

539
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 1: from his gums he really needs to floss, really really

540
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 1: needs some good dental hygiene out there.

541
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 2: I think you need your wisdom teeth out. Something has

542
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:25,200
Speaker 2: gone wrong there is funny, but yeah, I I I

543
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:27,959
Speaker 2: initially when my son was listening to that music, especially,

544
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 2: I was letting him listen to it. He's gonna be

545
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 2: sixteen soon. But it just it doesn't seem to resonate.

546
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 2: It's just like it's an act. It's a they like

547
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 2: the beat and all that sort of stuff. I don't

548
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 2: think the words matter that much. I really don't.

549
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:50,840
Speaker 1: Interesting. Yeah, I remember Alice Cooper and the outrage that

550
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 1: created that band back in the day, and as their

551
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 1: lead singers now kind of become known as Alice Cooper.

552
00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 1: He he's in England teacher, and he just thought a

553
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 1: little like Haunted House Imagery would be kind of cool

554
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 1: and different on stage. The idea that English teacher Vincent

555
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:13,240
Speaker 1: Furnier is some sort of satan. The guy's a golf enthusiast,

556
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 1: for God's sake. He just thought, oh, this would kind

557
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 1: of be mysterious and dangerous and stuff, but it was

558
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:19,960
Speaker 1: taken so seriously.

559
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 2: He's also a Republican only oh yeah, yeah, Alec Baldwin's

560
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:27,840
Speaker 2: wife did something kind of funny. We'll finish with that.

561
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 2: We'll finish strong coming up. Stay tuned, so almost out

562
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 2: of time. I gotta get right to this. I haven't

563
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 2: been watching season thirty seven of Dancing with the Stars,

564
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 2: but Hilaria Baldwin, Alec Baldwin's wife, just got booted off

565
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 2: early in the season. And it's kind of interesting. Given

566
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 2: the fact that she is a professional ballroom dancer dancing

567
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:51,560
Speaker 2: with another professional, you'd think it would give her a

568
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 2: leg up. But as The New York Post rights, Hillary

569
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:57,720
Speaker 2: Baldwin thought she'd go on Dancing with the Stars, shimmy

570
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 2: her way into America's hearts and we'd forget that she's

571
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 2: been pretending to be a Spanish woman for a whole decade. People,

572
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:08,880
Speaker 2: because you get voted off. It's a popularity contest, so

573
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 2: it's your dancing. But also they got to kind of

574
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:12,480
Speaker 2: like you, you know, like American Idol used to be.

575
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:15,560
Speaker 2: The people clearly didn't like her because she's a narcissist

576
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:18,360
Speaker 2: who posed as a woman called Hilaria from Spain, when

577
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:21,480
Speaker 2: in reality she's Hillary from Beacon Hill neighborhood of Boston,

578
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:24,240
Speaker 2: which we've talked about a whole bunch of times. But

579
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 2: to Halaria, her early exit is the dastardly work of

580
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 2: a vast online network of mean girls who don't appreciate

581
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 2: her unique burden of being bilingual. And she posted a

582
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:38,320
Speaker 2: video complaining about how rough it was. And she's in

583
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 2: her video where she's very very serious being booted off

584
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 2: Dancing with the Stars. She says, I'd be remiss if

585
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:46,480
Speaker 2: I didn't mention that today is World Mental Health Day

586
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 2: and all the bullying that went on behind the scenes

587
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:52,080
Speaker 2: dancing with the Stars, and blah blah blah blah blah.

588
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 2: She is a piece of work. Boo Dallak Balward was

589
00:32:56,520 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 2: probably trying to kill himself when he hit that tree.

590
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 1: Hey kids, it's that time again with Armstrong and Getty.

591
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 2: I got another comment on that, but I'll save it

592
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 2: for final thoughts. Here's your host, Joe Getty.

593
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 1: How about a final thought from everybody on the crew

594
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 1: to wrap up the show for the day. In the week,

595
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:18,960
Speaker 1: Michaelangelow or technical director Michael final thought, Yeah.

596
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 2: Joe, you really tick off my funny bone.

597
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:22,480
Speaker 1: We were talking about Geene Simmons and now he's bleeding

598
00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 1: from the gums.

599
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 2: That he needs the floss. I'd be laughing about that

600
00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 2: all day.

601
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:30,640
Speaker 1: Well, it's a good reminder. Im portant mental hija was

602
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:33,440
Speaker 1: dental hygiene is Katie Greener Steve Mues woman As a

603
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:35,600
Speaker 1: final thought, Katie, one of the best days I had.

604
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 2: I went from a Raider game at the Oakland Coliseum,

605
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:40,120
Speaker 2: walked one hundred yards and went and saw a kiss

606
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:43,200
Speaker 2: at Oracle Arena. Oh, same day. That's a good day.

607
00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:43,800
Speaker 2: It was cool.

608
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 1: So many scary costumes all in one day. Yeah, no kidding, Jack.

609
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:49,240
Speaker 1: Final thought for us so Alec Bald.

610
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 2: There's a chance that he at some point figured out

611
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 2: what he's into and he's thinking, I'm seventy years old,

612
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:56,600
Speaker 2: I got seven kids with this fake Spanish wife who's

613
00:33:56,640 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 2: an absolute just piece of work. A tiring way to live.

614
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:04,880
Speaker 1: Hey. My final thought, I wish you've gotten time to

615
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 1: talk about this on the show. I had an experience

616
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:08,959
Speaker 1: yesterday where I got part of the story from somebody

617
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:12,520
Speaker 1: who seemed very authoritative, and I came to a conclusion.

618
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:14,840
Speaker 1: Then I found out that that was only a small

619
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:17,759
Speaker 1: part of the story. There was countervailing evidence, and I'd
