Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:17,639
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Kaddy Armstrong and.

00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:19,239
Speaker 2: Petition and he.

00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 3: Drawn live the Frum Studio s play we are in

00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 3: a dimly lit room, deeper in the bowels of.

00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 2: The Armstrong and getting communications compound. And here on the

7
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 2: h whatever this is of war, we are toiling under

8
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 2: the title of the show, Yeah yeah, Tola will be

9
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 2: missed by the left media apparently, or my personal favorite

10
00:00:51,840 --> 00:01:05,040
Speaker 2: missiles whistled leaving gristle. That is pretty funny. The posthumous

11
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 2: rehabilitation of the Ayatola by the lefty media is something

12
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:11,919
Speaker 2: to behold on all steeler scholar with a bushy beard

13
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,479
Speaker 2: and a ready smile. The Iatola was beloved by family

14
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 2: and friends alike who loved poetry and le mis right.

15
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 2: Going to The Washington Post, Michael and I were both

16
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 2: talking about the Daily Show, which we watched last night,

17
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 2: which was pretty funny. But John Stewart was making jokes

18
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:32,119
Speaker 2: about the Iatola, and the crowd groaned and he was like, what,

19
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 2: I can't make fun of a murderous dictator. What I'm

20
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 2: supposed to go soft on the guy? Thank you, John. Yeah, yeah,

21
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 2: I appreciate that he said although we did what what

22
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 2: did he say we did what saturated fat was going

23
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 2: to do in a couple of weeks because he was

24
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 2: talking about other guys eighty seven years old. Wow, that's

25
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 2: another good one. Yeah, the I realized we're coming off

26
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 2: the Winter Olympics and not the Summer Olympics. But the

27
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 2: incredible gymnastlike flexibility of the American media on display is

28
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 2: really something to see. Like the New York Times, which

29
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 2: you may recall last year back in June, was hammering

30
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 2: the Trump administration because the strikes against the photo plant

31
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 2: were unsuccessful according to intelligence reports, and barely center On's

32
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 2: nuclear program back a month, and it was a terrible,

33
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,519
Speaker 2: terrible failure by Trump. But now they're saying there was

34
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:24,799
Speaker 2: no need for the attacks because that attack last year

35
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 2: sent them back forever. I mean, they'll never get a

36
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 2: new after that unbelievably devastating attack. Sometimes the same people

37
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 2: wrote those two articles. It's just ridiculous. I'm interested in

38
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 2: this hole. Was this a war of choice thing? So

39
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 2: that's one thing I John Strart in the Daily Show,

40
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,079
Speaker 2: of course, would be against whatever Trump is doing and

41
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 2: kept referring to this as a war of choice. I

42
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 2: suppose technically it is. But if you have to wait

43
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 2: until you're punched in the face before it's a non

44
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 2: a war of choice, I don't quite understand that. And

45
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 2: then I heard Mark Warner. He's a Democrat, but he's

46
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 2: a serious man. He's one of the handful of serious

47
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:10,679
Speaker 2: people on both sides. I just heard him say there

48
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 2: was no imminent threat to the United States. There was

49
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 2: an imminent threat to Israel. And if we're gonna count

50
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 2: an imitant threat to Israel as an iminent threat to

51
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,799
Speaker 2: the United States, we are in an uncharted territory now,

52
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 2: which is an interesting thing to say. There was not

53
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 2: There was not an iminent threat to the United States.

54
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 2: I suppose that is true. Now, the whole war of

55
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 2: choice thing, it's funny. I just ten minutes ago dove

56
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 2: into a long, scholarly piece about the very concept of

57
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 2: a war of choice, and it went back to the

58
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 2: freaking Codes of Hamarabi, which is viewed as the first

59
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 2: written law mankind's ever had, and goes through, you know,

60
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 2: the talent and all sorts of ancient traditions. And I

61
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 2: gave up. I thought, this is way too esoteric, an

62
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 2: eggheaded a discussion, and obviously it's one of those terms

63
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 2: that people use when they want in the way they want,

64
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 2: and when it's their side they use it differently. Well,

65
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 2: it's going to fit into the Congress is going to

66
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 2: do some War Powers Act voting this week, and I

67
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 2: think it's going to play into that because the President

68
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 2: does have the right to defend the United States an

69
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 2: imminent attack or when we're under attack if we're not,

70
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:32,479
Speaker 2: though if we weren't, then it gets more complicated, so right,

71
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 2: and we will end up in that turf, no doubt,

72
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 2: because to use the term imminent threat, I think it

73
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:42,839
Speaker 2: probably overstates the nature, well not overstates, but overstates the

74
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 2: urgency of the threat. I think it's a much more

75
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 2: long term, never ending, terrible threat that killed more of

76
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 2: our people than any other country on Earth over the

77
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 2: last fifty years. It's worth remembering that over and over

78
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 2: and over again. Every chance they got and their desperate

79
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:03,840
Speaker 2: attempt to secure a nuclear weapon so they can hold

80
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 2: the world hostage, and an opportunity came to end that

81
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:11,039
Speaker 2: never ending threat. And that may may not be an

82
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 2: imminent threat per se, but it's it's a reason to act.

83
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 2: You're right, the legality of it is complicated and prone

84
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 2: to you know, a flip flopping by either side depending

85
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:28,280
Speaker 2: on their needs of the day. And Iran has now

86
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 2: attacked ten countries I think nine or ten countries strategy

87
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:37,479
Speaker 2: continue to do that, and it's dangerous all over the

88
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 2: place in the Middle East. I heard it called last night.

89
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 2: I suppose it's true. This is the biggest war in

90
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,600
Speaker 2: Middle Eastern history, which is a heck of a thing

91
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 2: to say, because there's been a lot of wars in

92
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 2: the Middle East throughout the last several thousand years, there's

93
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 2: never one that encompassed this large an area. So it's

94
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 2: the biggest war in Middle Eastern history that we technically started,

95
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 2: though I still see it as a defense of war personally.

96
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 2: Right Again, you've got an adversary that kills your people constantly,

97
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 2: threatens you constantly, and you saw a chance to take

98
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 2: him out. So who started what? I don't know. I

99
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 2: think it was The New York Times was trying to

100
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,479
Speaker 2: or some of one of your usual suspects of trying

101
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 2: to make the case that we started it back in

102
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,159
Speaker 2: nineteen fifty three when we assisted in the overthrow of

103
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:26,280
Speaker 2: a popularly elected communist government and installed the shaw, so

104
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:30,039
Speaker 2: that that was the original sin. Therefore, we're not allowed

105
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,599
Speaker 2: to do anything because we're at the bad guys in Iran. Okay,

106
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:37,360
Speaker 2: here's Marco Rubio's response, because this is fast moving conversation

107
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,039
Speaker 2: and it's pretty important when I think, especially as Congress

108
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:43,840
Speaker 2: gets ready to vote on a variety of things. Marco

109
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 2: Rubio's response to the it wasn't an eminent threat to

110
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,799
Speaker 2: the United States. It was an eminent threat to Israel.

111
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 2: And if we're now counting Israel being under threat the

112
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:56,919
Speaker 2: same as US, we're into uncharted territory. Marco Rubio's response was,

113
00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:01,160
Speaker 2: Israel was about to act. Iran would have attacked our bases.

114
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 2: So that's why it was an imminent threat to us,

115
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 2: because Israel is going to act whether we did or not,

116
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:08,799
Speaker 2: and they and then our bases would have been under attack.

117
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 2: Is that too far a stretch? It's true. No, that's

118
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 2: fine with me. I can hear the both the lefty

119
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 2: anti Semites and righty anti Semites there at the cozy

120
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 2: end of the horseshoe saying there it says a prof

121
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 2: we're dancing on the strings of the Jewish jew puppeteers.

122
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 2: But you know, I just well, the polling is terrible

123
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 2: on this war right now. So you got the what

124
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 2: you've said there, You've got the uh where we shouldn't

125
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 2: be fighting for the Jews crowd that are both Republicans

126
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 2: and Democrats. You've got the never like any military action

127
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 2: at all crowd, which is a certain percentage of people always.

128
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 2: And then you've got the I'm going to oppose anything

129
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 2: Trump does, including if he saved childhood cancer. So you

130
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 2: combine all those people and you get to a pretty

131
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 2: big number. Yeah, it'll be interesting to see the polling

132
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 2: isn't unfolds as the case is made by the administration.

133
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 2: It's a bit early. Yeah, Well, I don't remember a

134
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 2: war where it was upside down like this at the

135
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 2: very beginning, well over sixty percent high sixties percent or

136
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 2: against what happened. I don't remember that ever in my life.

137
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 2: One point that was made on that score that I

138
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 2: thought was pretty interesting is usually there's a pretty obvious trigger.

139
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 2: We are hit, we are attacked, we have our people

140
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 2: hurt or killed, and there's a rally around the flag effect,

141
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 2: and that lifts poll numbers a lot. This was a

142
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 2: more strategic. Now we have an opportunity. Let's end this

143
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 2: threat for all time moment, which is a different scenario.

144
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 2: If you're into this stuff. I think people, I think

145
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 2: the people who follow the news most closely probably have

146
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 2: the highest poll numbers in approval of this strikes well, yeah,

147
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 2: you're but you're right as opposed to a lot of

148
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 2: other stories. It's the other way around. Sure, And as

149
00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 2: you made the point many times, the lack of disc

150
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 2: ussion about this leading up to it, it was just amazing

151
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 2: since it was clear what was about to happen. So

152
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 2: here's some analysis from one of my favorite pundents on

153
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 2: the whole poll thing. Maybe tomorrow Americans will support Trump

154
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:17,479
Speaker 2: on Iran. Americans like success, and as we are successful,

155
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,560
Speaker 2: the polls could completely flip in a week. We will

156
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 2: see that's a possibility also. But it's going to matter

157
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 2: to Congress, and they have control over you know, given

158
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 2: more money or allocating more funds for build more mmunition.

159
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 2: Oh on that front, is this a new thing in

160
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 2: the last couple of years where we're always in danger

161
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 2: of running out of material? I don't remember that in

162
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 2: the past. I was always kind of saw us as

163
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 2: the arsenal democracy is like practically a never ending supply

164
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 2: whatever we needed. It seems like a new conversation of

165
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:51,199
Speaker 2: where we're on the verge of being out all the time,

166
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 2: or we're spending more than we have in quite a

167
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 2: while for one thing, and the offshoring and manufacturing included

168
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 2: defense through the year. We're not the arsenal of democracy anymore.

169
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 2: We don't have enough factories. Well, that ain't good. We

170
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 2: can't have a couple of dust ups like this and

171
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 2: be on the verge of running out everything already. Yeah,

172
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 2: we can hardly build a ship. We depend on the

173
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 2: South Koreans for a significant chunk of that. We just

174
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:20,439
Speaker 2: the post Cold War d armorization of the United States.

175
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 2: I made a board and d you know, manufacturization of

176
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 2: the United States's left us in a hell of a spot.

177
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 2: Let's start the show officially. I'm just plenty of cheap

178
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 2: Chinese crap on the shelves of your local Walmart, though,

179
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 2: so shop and enjoy. I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe Getty

180
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 2: on this. It is Tuesday, March third, the year twenty

181
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 2: twenty six. Armstrong in getting we approve of this program,

182
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 2: all right? I know we all missed the smile of

183
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 2: the Ayatola that could light up a room. But here

184
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 2: we go. Officially, according to FCC rules and Rags at

185
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:53,559
Speaker 2: Mark America.

186
00:10:53,280 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 4: And Israel attack Iran, and Iran's answer is just attacked everything.

187
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 2: You know.

188
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 4: Having been at a bar fight or two in my life,

189
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure the worst thing you can do during

190
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:16,560
Speaker 4: a two on one beatdown is slap everyone else. Hey, hey,

191
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 4: not every part of me is getting punched.

192
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 2: What are you doing? What do you do that? Hey? You?

193
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 2: I thought that was all about burn rate, jack burn rays.

194
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,319
Speaker 2: We're all learning what burn rate is now how quickly

195
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:34,560
Speaker 2: we're going through our anti missile shells and armaments. So

196
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 2: the idea Oran's idea wasn't a crack pod. It was

197
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 2: We're gonna spread this out, send so many things, so

198
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,680
Speaker 2: many places that the United States, Israel and everybody else

199
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 2: is going to use up all their defense munitions and

200
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 2: then we'll be able to really strike people. That's their plan.

201
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 2: They will have to back off and it could work,

202
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 2: couldn't it. Do they have enough rucks unless we take

203
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,120
Speaker 2: out all there's launchers, Because doesn't matter how many rockets

204
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 2: they have if they have no way to launch them. Well,

205
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:06,560
Speaker 2: their gamble is that if they escalate enough and the

206
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 2: burn race it burns through everything, the other countries in

207
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 2: the region will say, we got to stop, we gotta stop,

208
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 2: we gotta stop. I suspect it will be more like,

209
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 2: all right, now, we've got to level the place, not

210
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 2: we got to quit, but we gotta go whole hog.

211
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 2: And that might speak to the really big wave Trump

212
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,320
Speaker 2: was talking about yesterday that hasn't come yet. What we

213
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 2: saw on Saturday was not the big wave. The big

214
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 2: wave is still coming. I don't know if that's a

215
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,560
Speaker 2: fog of war type threat or if that's real. I

216
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,959
Speaker 2: have no idea. That's hard to imagine though, I don't

217
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 2: know if you've read much about it. But it's quite

218
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:47,960
Speaker 2: the stunning operation factor we got some of the numbers

219
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,440
Speaker 2: on that we can talk about later. Is just a

220
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:57,080
Speaker 2: cloud of the most amazing flying things on Earth coming

221
00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:01,079
Speaker 2: at one area and dropping stuff on them. But again,

222
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:04,200
Speaker 2: we ran through a five year supply in two days. Yeah,

223
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 2: that ain't good. All right, We got Katie's headlines in

224
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 2: the way and lots of stuff. Stay here. The shaw

225
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 2: Head drone or however you pronounce it, is the Iranian

226
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 2: drone that might turn out to be the biggest part

227
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 2: of his whole story. That's the drones that Russia's been

228
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 2: using attacking the Jesus out of Ukraine for years now,

229
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:30,679
Speaker 2: those Iranian drones, the Shahi drones, and that's now what

230
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,079
Speaker 2: the Iran sending all over the Middle East. The only

231
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,840
Speaker 2: costs like ten thousand dollars apiece as we take them

232
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 2: out with a million dollar missile and frustratingly hard to

233
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 2: hit from what I understand, So that might end up

234
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 2: being the story. Anyway. More on that later is that

235
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 2: this decade scud missile could be term everybody used back

236
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 2: in the day. Hey, let's figure out who's reporting what

237
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 2: these days. It's the leads story with Katie Green and

238
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 2: Katie of course the lead.

239
00:13:55,800 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 5: Story is Iran from ABC, US closes embassies and Saudi

240
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:06,440
Speaker 5: Arabia Kuwait amid attacks CNN. Trump tells CNN the big

241
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 5: wave is yet to come in war with Iran.

242
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 2: NBC.

243
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 5: Ukraine offers to help against Iranian drones as new war

244
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 5: overshadows Russia peace talks.

245
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 2: I'll bet why the Russia peace talks I announce. Every

246
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 2: time I hear that phrase, I roll my eyes. Poor

247
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 2: President de Linsey's got to be thinking, good lord, this

248
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 2: is not gonna help. Nobody's gonna pay attention to us. Now.

249
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 5: From the Wall Street Journal, Rubio warns that the quote

250
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 5: hardest hits are yet to come.

251
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 2: I wonder if that's true or not. It doesn't seem

252
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 2: like we were holding back a lot.

253
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 5: From the Washington Post, China building subs that can strike

254
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 5: United States from closer to home.

255
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 2: According to the US Navy. Was just reading that. Yeah,

256
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 2: our supremacy under the sea is definitely eroding fast.

257
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 5: From MS now quote he would be on my witness list.

258
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 5: Hillary Clinton says Trump should absolutely be deposed on Epstein.

259
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 2: Well, logically, if you're gonna have the Clinton's on there,

260
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 2: I suppose you should have Trump on there. Although he's

261
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 2: a sitting president, but as soon as he's out of office,

262
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 2: he'll definitely be called by a Democratic Congress. Any chance

263
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 2: we can shoot Epstein's bones head? O? Ryan? Would that's

264
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 2: settle at all? I'm not sure how that math works anyway. Oh,

265
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 2: for goodness sakes.

266
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 5: From the New York Times, automaker's dilemma invest in new

267
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 5: tech or stick to gas cars.

268
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 2: Hmmm, that is a dilemma. You got to make what

269
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 2: people want entertainment weekly.

270
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 5: Shia La buff arrested for a second time in New Orleans,

271
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 5: said three men touching his leg triggered the initial altercation.

272
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 2: Man, he is having a role. He touched in my leg.

273
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 2: All right, there's nothing better to your ass kit. There's

274
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 2: nothing better than the hym getting beat up by six

275
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 2: guys at a bar. He gets thrown in jail because

276
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 2: he started it. Then as soon as he bails himself out,

277
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 2: running two miles to get back to the parade and

278
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 2: start drinking and to get arrested again.

279
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 5: Yes, trum study finds, oh, it's it's the egg argument.

280
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 5: Data from one hundred and forty two countries shows that

281
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 5: eating eggs may actually protect your heart.

282
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 2: Now harm it. There you go, it's more eggs.

283
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 5: And finally the Babylon Bee. Groundbreaking new study finds Islamophobia

284
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 5: may be partially caused by Muslims killing people all the time.

285
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, there's that Islamophobia. If that word has ever

286
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 2: passed your lips, drop your knees right now and pray

287
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 2: for forgiveness from both me and the almighty. The guy

288
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 2: with the property of Allah and a Koran in his

289
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 2: car in an Rainey flag in his house and all

290
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 2: that other stuff and all least right, yeah, and all

291
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 2: these investigations about because still being investigated. Not sure if

292
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 2: it's attached to the war or had anything to do

293
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 2: with his law. What, oh my god, are you kidding

294
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:20,920
Speaker 2: the way? ABC did that last night. The FBI is investigating. Yeah, hilarious.

295
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 2: We got more on the way Armstrong and Geeddy.

296
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:29,639
Speaker 6: FBI officials confirming that they're urgently trying to determine While

297
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,440
Speaker 6: that gunman who went on a murder's rampage in Austin,

298
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:35,439
Speaker 6: Texas was wearing a T shirt bearing the flag of Iran,

299
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:38,679
Speaker 6: the gunman wearing a sweatshirt with the words property of

Speaker 6: a law officially identified as Jaga Jung, a US naturalized

301
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:47,200
Speaker 6: citizen originally from Senegal. In addition to the flag, authorities

302
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 6: have discovered writings about Iran and its leadership after searching

303
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:52,640
Speaker 6: his car and other properties.

304
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 2: Okay, robbery gone wrong. Yeah, he was upset about the

305
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 2: Dobbs decision. IRA smells like the IRA to me? What

306
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:09,880
Speaker 2: the hell a the news? What still trying to investigate

307
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 2: a motive? But a guy wearing an Iranian jacket with

Speaker 2: an Iranian flag in his house and a Quran in

309

Speaker 2: his car. HM, all right, what are we doing? A

310
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 2: couple of angles to the Iran conflict that I found

311
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:31,119
Speaker 2: absolutely fascinating slash troubling number one, and I'm sure the

312
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:35,119
Speaker 2: big news bureaus have somebody who just sits there and

313
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 2: stares at truth Social for when Trump unleashes a new

314
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 2: barrage out of missiles. But of words, I'd missed this

315
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 2: one somehow, although I guess it was in the middle

316
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 2: of the night last night. I did. Late last night,

317
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:51,359
Speaker 2: President Trump bragged the US has a virtually unlimited supply

318
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 2: that's in quotes of medium grade munitions and proclaimed America

319
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 2: is ready to win big in an ominous warning to

320
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 2: the Iran regime. The United States munitions stockpiles have at

321
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 2: the media and upper medium grade never been higher better,

322
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 2: he wrote on truth Social. I guess addressing the conversation

323
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,199
Speaker 2: that we and others have had about our low stockpiles,

324
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:15,479
Speaker 2: as we stated, as was stated to me today, we

325
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:19,640
Speaker 2: have virtually an unlimited supply of these weapons. Wars can

326
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 2: be fought forever and very successfully using just these supplies,

327
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 2: which are better than other countries finest arms. At the

328
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:28,439
Speaker 2: highest end, we have a good supply, but are not

329
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 2: where we want to be. It goes on. Additional high

330
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 2: grade weaponry is stored for US in outlying countries, and

331
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 2: then he blamed Biden for the stockpile not being what

332
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,160
Speaker 2: it should be. Listen to this, Jack, You're gonna hate this.

333
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 2: Sleepy Joe Biden spent all of his time in our

334
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:50,200
Speaker 2: country's money, giving everything to P. T. Barnum Zelenski of Ukraine.

335
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 2: Oh boy, hundreds of billions of dollars worth. And while

336
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:55,920
Speaker 2: he gave so much of the super high end away free,

337
00:19:56,400 --> 00:20:00,679
Speaker 2: he didn't bother to replace it, he claimed. Trump then

338
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:04,119
Speaker 2: proclaimed he rebuilt the military during his first term, before

339
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 2: revealing the United States has stocked and ready to win big.

340
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 2: There were a lot of people making the legit argument, though,

341
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 2: that when we were giving stuff to Ukraine that what

342
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:16,399
Speaker 2: if we need to go to war? Oh yeah, an

343
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 2: argument that we at the time said over and over

344
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 2: again is legit. I feel worrying about it. I feel

345
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 2: like the answer is not turning down various military operations

346
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:29,359
Speaker 2: that are in our interest. It's building more stuff. So

347
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 2: we got enough, yeah, for the richest country on earth, clearly, yeah. Yeah.

348
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 2: Once you disarmed though, once you dismantle that arsenal of democracy,

349
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 2: you know, capability that we had for so long. It's

350
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:45,719
Speaker 2: a slow, expensive thing to rebuild it. And you know,

351
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:49,119
Speaker 2: companies are thinking, well, gosh, the next administration might be

352
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 2: a bunch of peace necks, So do I invest a

353
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:56,719
Speaker 2: zillion dollars in a missile plant or not? So I

354
00:20:56,720 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 2: don't know that much about this, but uh, like, if

355
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 2: we ended up in a prolonged war with China that

356
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,440
Speaker 2: started two years ago, would we run out of stuff

357
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:10,200
Speaker 2: in like nine months. I've heard various projections of how

358
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 2: long we could hold out, and I don't know how

359
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 2: seriously to take them, but they're they're not good, not

360
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:18,959
Speaker 2: good at all. Now, we didn't have hardly anything when

361
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 2: World War Two started. When we got ready to join

362
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 2: World War Two, we were ramped up or really damn fast,

363
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:28,920
Speaker 2: and it was unbelievably impressive. That's one of the best

364
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 2: things that they portray it that fabulous World War Two

365
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 2: museum in New Orleans was our industrial might and how

366
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 2: we got ramped up and all the business leaders of

367
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 2: America came together, and the Ford plant or the GM plant,

368
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 2: one of your big car companies up there in Michigan,

369
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 2: was cranking out giant bomber planes one an hour. Wow

370
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:55,639
Speaker 2: in our het, I mean, just incredible. But do you

371
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 2: have to be at war before you turn yourself to

372
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:03,119
Speaker 2: that probably, or or or have a threat that your

373
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:06,639
Speaker 2: whole country perceives as serious? You know, I'd like to

374
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:10,160
Speaker 2: see a real, scholarly serious comparison of where we were

375
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:13,439
Speaker 2: then and where we are now, not in terms not

376
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 2: just in terms of you know, actual manufacturing facilities, but

377
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 2: the people who do that sort of work, who could

378
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 2: easily switch from making uh, you know, washing machines to

379
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:28,560
Speaker 2: fighter jets because we don't make washing machines anymore or

380
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 2: virtually anything else. Right, It's a it's be much easier,

381
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:37,880
Speaker 2: I assume, to turn a plant that makes cars into

382
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 2: a plant that makes fighter planes, and it is to

383
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 2: take a whole bunch of people who type into computers

384
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 2: cubicles into people who are cranking out fighter planes. Yeah,

385
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:50,439
Speaker 2: the drones or whatever we're gonna build. The skills of

386
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 2: both the manufacturer of war goods and the warriors themselves

387
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:58,679
Speaker 2: are much more of the skills of America and the

388
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 2: forties than they were the they are now. You're going

389
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 2: to send a bunch of social majors who sit around

390
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:06,879
Speaker 2: the cubicles the different world. I don't know what the

391
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 2: answer is. I really don't, So I said I had

392
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:11,920
Speaker 2: two angles. One was the Trump saying we got plenty

393
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 2: of arms and then taking a shot at Zelensky calling

394
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:16,919
Speaker 2: him P. T. Barnum, which gave me a sick feeling

395
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,480
Speaker 2: in my stomach. But listen to this Sh'S nizzle, will you?

396
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 2: And you tell me Jack whether you think this is

397
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:29,120
Speaker 2: true and why we know it now. But Israeli spies

398
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 2: spent spent years hacking nearly every traffic camera in Tehran

399
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:39,160
Speaker 2: so they could monitor the Ayatola everywhere he went before

400
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 2: he was eventually wiped out. The cameras, including one directly

401
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 2: point into a comedy's closely guarded compound, allowed the Masad

402
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 2: to build highly specific intelligence files that aided Saturday's deadly strikes.

403
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 2: Multiple sources told The Financial Times London, blah blah blah.

404
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 2: We knew Tehran like we know Jerusalem, an Israeli intelligence

405
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 2: official claimed. And when you know a place as well

406
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 2: as you know the street you grew up on, you

407
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:07,959
Speaker 2: notice a single thing when it's out of place. So

408
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:11,160
Speaker 2: some of the images that they got from the cameras

409
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:14,199
Speaker 2: allowed massad operatives to determine a pattern of life for

410
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 2: Comane's security guards, including exactly where they parked their cars,

411
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 2: their addresses, who they were tasked with protecting, et cetera.

412
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 2: They knew everything about his security forces. So what that was.

413
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:28,439
Speaker 2: So when I heard this story, my first thought was,

414
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:31,120
Speaker 2: this is either completely true or not at all true.

415
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 2: And it was a different way that we tracked Komaaney

416
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 2: and killed him. And good for us for lying about it,

417
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 2: because the world doesn't need to know right exactly great

418
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 2: minds think a like. Apparently there're certainly mediocre ones. So

419
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:47,679
Speaker 2: which side do you come down on? It sounds legit

420
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 2: as hell. Yeah, I find it hard to believe that

421
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 2: we would we or the Israelis would reveal exactly how

422
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 2: we track evil doers, because your mind, there are probably

423
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 2: other evil doers where tracking right now, whether it's Putin

424
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 2: or she or whoever wherever. On the other hand, it's

425
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:08,679
Speaker 2: a good thing to put out there to frighten the

426
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 2: hell out of a people and make them paranoid. Oh yeah,

427
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 2: we're hacked into your traffic cameras. We're watching everything that happens.

428
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 2: That's how we figured it out. It's not that we

429
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 2: got a bunch of moles in your embassy or whatever. Yeah,

430
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:20,639
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know what to think, but

431
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:25,200
Speaker 2: I am intrigued by the idea of the Israeli intelligence

432
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 2: guy sitting around saying, Hey, Mohammad didn't come to work today.

433
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:30,880
Speaker 2: Check out his place. Yes, car still in the driveway.

434
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:32,439
Speaker 2: I haven't seen him come out yet. I wonder if

435
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:36,199
Speaker 2: he's sick. Huh, interesting, he just didn't work today. I

436
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:37,920
Speaker 2: think you're gonna have to narrow it down a bit,

437
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:44,639
Speaker 2: Mohammed number four. Yeah, yeah, that is amazing though, if that,

438
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,879
Speaker 2: if that played a role, and he's right about the

439
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:50,399
Speaker 2: you know, if you know something as well as your

440
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:53,680
Speaker 2: own street. I pull into my own street every single day,

441
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 2: and if there is a different, completely different card there,

442
00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:59,959
Speaker 2: I would notice immediately. Sure many times I've said to

443
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 2: j who's that blue car? Yeah, looked out in front

444
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:05,440
Speaker 2: of our house. Uh yeah, yeah, yeah, jij And Ping's

445
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 2: probably thinking, oh, yeah, you can track people like that.

446
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 2: Traffic cameras, street lights, security cameras, manholes play right, exactly

447
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 2: because they're doing it already with their own people, right, yeah, yeah, Wow,

448
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 2: they knew exactly where the dude was, and well, well,

449
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 2: we're forty dudes were. Yeah. I mean, I can't wait

450
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:32,719
Speaker 2: to read more about this years from now because they

451
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 2: won't they won't release this information for a very long time.

452
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 2: But man, when they ran to Trump and said, hey,

453
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:44,640
Speaker 2: look we have an opportunity here, the Ayahtola and forty

454
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 2: of his top guys are going to be in one

455
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 2: room above ground Saturday at two, do we do something

456
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:53,960
Speaker 2: or not? Now. I like the way we had Mike

457
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:56,160
Speaker 2: Lines on yesterday and he went out of his way

458
00:26:56,200 --> 00:27:02,120
Speaker 2: to portray it as everything was Israel's decision. I noticed, so, well,

459
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:07,200
Speaker 2: because we say we don't assassinate people political leaders, right,

460
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 2: so if we give you all the information and the

461
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 2: coordinates and the planes and the bombs and maybe training

462
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:17,360
Speaker 2: the pilots, it wasn't me. You're not going to bomb them,

463
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:23,360
Speaker 2: all right, Okay, it wasn't us. Yeah, yeah. So I'm

464
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 2: just picturing what it must be like to work in

465
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 2: the massade and you're sitting there. You've got like the

466
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 2: number five guy in the Revolutionary Guard. He's your guy

467
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 2: that should track with the traffic cameras if it's legit,

468
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 2: and you report to somebody, Hey, he seems to be

469
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 2: moving towards the IA told his compound, and like everybody's

470
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 2: saying the same thing at the same time Saturday morning,

471
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 2: and what that he's the fever pitch of conversation and

472
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 2: calls back and forth and quickly assembled meetings must have

473
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:56,640
Speaker 2: been like so there were I didn't agree with John

474
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:58,720
Speaker 2: Stewart's overall take on The Daily Show last night, but

475
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 2: he had a number of jokes that I thought were

476
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 2: We're quite funny. First of all, the name epic fury.

477
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:05,359
Speaker 2: Why do we name our wars the same way the

478
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:12,680
Speaker 2: Paul Brothers name energy drinks. That's good. It's just a

479
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:16,160
Speaker 2: pretty funny joke. But he also said, uh, he played

480
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 2: the clip of Trump in the middle of the night

481
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 2: and he said, is this way we announce wars? Now?

482
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:22,119
Speaker 2: You come out in a jacket and no tie and

483
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:24,440
Speaker 2: a big hat on your head and dimly lit. He said,

484
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:27,199
Speaker 2: he looks like the father of the bride settling up

485
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 2: with the caterer at the end of the night. But

486
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:33,720
Speaker 2: that's good. That's good too. He is a clever little

487
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:37,919
Speaker 2: Wordsmith's that jazz start getting back to the joke that

488
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 2: we opened with, how many bar flights do you reckon

489
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 2: he's actually, yeah, that's funny. I got distracted by that

490
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 2: too when John Start said, I've been in a couple

491
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 2: of bar vibes with that. You have a guy who

492
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 2: writes for a living, you're like five five, one hundred

493
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 2: and twenty five pounds an intellectual. Maybe maybe you've seen

494
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 2: a couple or maybe he's one of those smart asses

495
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 2: that got himself into trouble all the time. I've a

496
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 2: few of those guys that, like you would think you'd

497
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 2: keep your mouth shut if you're that size, right, rights possible.

498
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:09,720
Speaker 2: But out of that's funny that the first thought I

499
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 2: had to really, I don't know if I believe this. Okay,

500
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 2: we got mailbag on the way and other stuff. Stay here.

501
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 2: Friday we talked quite a bit about Anthropic versus the

502
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 2: Pentagon and the battle they got going on right now,

503
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 2: and they had a huge divorce Friday. Then hours later

504
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 2: we used anthropic technology to attack Iran. That story is

505
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 2: super interesting and not over, so maybe we'll get into

506
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:42,000
Speaker 2: that in later hours. I agree completely, and Anthropic is rapidly,

507
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 2: rapidly becoming the new Tesla where people are dividing along

508
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 2: political line to whether they're fans or not, which is

509
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 2: just groovy. Here's your freedom loving quote of the today.

510
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 2: Doing a series on war for obvious reasons, and uh,

511
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 2: we're gonna do a broad range of them. I'm trying

512
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 2: to make any particular point. It's all about ambivalence. I

513
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 2: like ambivalence. Well, some days I like ambivalence. This one

514
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 2: is from William T. Sherman, General Sherman of the famous

515
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 2: March to the Sea Civil War. I am tired and

516
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 2: sick of war. It's glory is all moonshine. It is

517
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 2: only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard

518
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 2: the shrieks and groans of the wounded, who cry aloud

519
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:30,440
Speaker 2: for blood, for vengeance, for desolation. War is hell. Yeah.

520
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 2: He and Grant were perfectly suited to that war, both

521
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 2: grimly doing what had to be done to win and

522
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 2: not liking it at all. Yeah. Yeah, unwilling soldiers who

523
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 2: just wanted it to be done, and in both of

524
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 2: their views, the way it's done as if you'll win.

525
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:53,400
Speaker 2: Mailbag trumps no mail bag at Armstrong and Getty dot

526
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 2: Com whenever you like. Boy, have we got an just

527
00:30:56,600 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 2: dreams of email lately? How about this? Brenton the Bay

528
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:04,240
Speaker 2: Area California. Just interesting. I signed up for next account

529
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 2: for the first time over the weekend, followed Armstrong and

530
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 2: Getty and Tim Sanderfer and that's it. My feet is

531
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 2: now covered with right leaning posts and very few neutral

532
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 2: left leaning ones. Yeah, all the follow suggestions are all

533
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:17,720
Speaker 2: conservative voices. It's no wonder why most of the population

534
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 2: never hears multiple perspectives on an issue. I know. I

535
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:25,360
Speaker 2: wish the algorithm could choose smart people with a variety

536
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 2: of opinions as opposed to oh as sort of an

537
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 2: opt in option, as opposed to lots of dumb people

538
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 2: whose politics are lean my direction. Yeah, yeah, I'd rather

539
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 2: hear smart people on the other side. Brent with some

540
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:43,360
Speaker 2: nice writing, he says, our media platforms basically throw you

541
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:46,520
Speaker 2: into one walled garden of ideas and throw away the

542
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 2: key based on very little input from the users, just

543
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:52,080
Speaker 2: a few likes and follows. And it's how you can

544
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 2: end up in a conversation. That has happened to me

545
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 2: several times in the modern world. We end up in

546
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 2: a conversation and we're just like, at some point staring

547
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 2: each other, like we are talking about completely different things

548
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 2: here because we have such different information. Yeah, you can't

549
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 2: even have a conversation. You're so far apart, right, where

550
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 2: is the broad range algorithm? I mean, even if I

551
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:14,640
Speaker 2: believe what I believe, I think it makes me a

552
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 2: much better conservative if I confront the ar arguments of

553
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 2: the people who disagree with me obviously and wrestle with

554
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:24,520
Speaker 2: them and help them, you know, help have them help

555
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 2: hone my ideas. And sometimes I'm wrong or we're wrong.

556
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 2: So having the other side is a good idea. Speak

557
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:39,480
Speaker 2: for yourself, loyal listener Eugene of Center Brook, Connecticut. All right, hey, guys,

558
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:42,480
Speaker 2: love the show. I digress. Look you look at the

559
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 2: old flag of Iran versus the current flag of the

560
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 2: Islamic Republic. The old flag has prominently displayed a lion,

561
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 2: as in the Lion will Be Coming Back Operation Rising

562
00:32:51,080 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 2: Lion ween bowop. On the topic of a rules based order,

563
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 2: seawn wrights people complain the old rules based order is gone.

564
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 2: That order didn't exist because the US relented to European

565
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:10,880
Speaker 2: and East Asian states pressure. It existed because the US

566
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 2: enforced it vigorously. If you want a rules based order,

567
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 2: Maduro in Iran and seizing ghost tankers is how you

568
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:20,000
Speaker 2: get it back. Yeah, well that was George Will's callum

569
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:26,400
Speaker 2: in the Washington Boast. De Terrence is back. Yeah. Boy.

570
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:28,960
Speaker 2: All of this stuff is so interesting and there's so

571
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:32,560
Speaker 2: many subtopics, but I'll discipline myself to stay with Mailbank

572
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 2: for now. Let's see Alvin Wrights guys. I heard the

573
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:40,600
Speaker 2: Iranian TV guys or some Middle Eastern TV guys say

574
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:43,719
Speaker 2: the weapons Iran got from China aren't working. Maybe they

575
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:48,120
Speaker 2: got them from Timu, which brings me to yet another

576
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 2: subtopic of this conflict. How China, over and over again

577
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:55,480
Speaker 2: is super good buddies with you until the chips are down,

578
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:58,000
Speaker 2: and then country after country around the world are discovering,

579
00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:00,280
Speaker 2: Oh that's weird. They won't take my call when the

580
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 2: poop hits the fan. They are a fair weather friend.

581
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:10,000
Speaker 2: Ad best moving along. Reporting from the CEOP Rich Rights

582
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 2: and that'll be explained in a minute. Hey fellows, just

583
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:14,480
Speaker 2: a quick ground run down to the reporting here at

584
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:19,040
Speaker 2: the communist city of Portland. Local media reported a few

585
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:22,120
Speaker 2: seconds worth of the rally of Iranians that were thrilled

586
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:24,680
Speaker 2: with the death of the dictator. Then they spent several

587
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:29,320
Speaker 2: minutes covering the protests, which were predominantly white over educated

588
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:32,960
Speaker 2: and screeching through their bullhorns. Apparently the higher education affords

589
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:34,799
Speaker 2: you the opportunity to not go to work like the

590
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:38,320
Speaker 2: rest of us I guess yeah, the people who seem

591
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:43,000
Speaker 2: to have unlimited time to protest USI rights. The more

592
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:46,120
Speaker 2: I learned about the hierarchy of an Islamic leadership, the

593
00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:48,719
Speaker 2: more it reminds me of the Sopranos. There's this big

594
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:51,040
Speaker 2: FBI board on the show with pictures of the whole family,

595
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:53,920
Speaker 2: starting with the don at the top of the pyramid, Coppos, Soldier,

596
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:56,360
Speaker 2: so on. It's almost like when the FBI used to

597
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 2: update their board in the show, adding new faces, shifting alliances,

598
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 2: constantly reshouffed players in the game. It's funny. Organized crime

599
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 2: really does look the same wherever you go. Mm and

600
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 2: this real quick from Frank imminent threat question Mark? When

601
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:13,680
Speaker 2: did Nazi Germany become an imminent threat? Imperial Japan? And

602
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:16,280
Speaker 2: simple naive Jack needs to wake up that Mark Warner

603
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:18,600
Speaker 2: is a political hacked in, corrupt not a serious person.

604
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:23,480
Speaker 2: Love the show all right? About your opinion, man, simple naive?

605
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:26,640
Speaker 2: You yeah, I was thinking about that. With Germany. We

606
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:29,520
Speaker 2: declared war on Germany prior to them attacking us. Was

607
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:33,720
Speaker 2: that a war of choice? Armstrong and Getty
