Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center.
Speaker 2: Jack Armstrong is Joe Getty Armstrong and Getty and now
Speaker 2: he Armstrong and Getty. You're reading about this new Samsung
Speaker 2: phone that some of your tech reviewers are calling the
Speaker 2: final iPhone killer. I don't know if that's true or not.
Speaker 2: iPhone dominates the market, and I'm an iPhone guy and
Speaker 2: I can't imagine, but man, it's got some really cool
Speaker 2: stuff on it. Maybe I'll talk about that later. I
Speaker 2: don't know, dominates the market in the US. That's one
Speaker 2: of the very few places Samsung is the global giant
Speaker 2: by far. So I live in the United States? Do
Speaker 2: you I do?
Speaker 1: It?
Speaker 2: Checks out?
Speaker 3: He does so.
Speaker 1: A couple of thoughts on the Iran deal. Israel slid
Speaker 1: the US deal. First of all, David Friedman was the
Speaker 1: ambassador to Israel during Trump won got booted out by Biden,
Speaker 1: which is the tradition there. Of course, when Republicans put
Speaker 1: their people in it's always reported as some sort of
Speaker 1: unnatural horror. The mainstream media and the Democrats do it,
Speaker 1: and nobody says anything anyway. Friedman said, well, he just
Speaker 1: says Clinton the US Embassy will move to Jerusalem. Bush,
Speaker 1: the US Embassy will move to Jerusalem. Obama, the US
Speaker 1: Embassy will move to Jerusalem. Trump, I have moved the
Speaker 1: US Embassy to Jerusalem.
Speaker 2: Bush.
Speaker 1: Israel cannot make peace with any more Arab nations without
Speaker 1: a Palestinian state. Obama, Israel cannot make peace with any
Speaker 1: more Arab nations without a Palestinian state. Trump, I have
Speaker 1: broken peace deals between Israel and four Arab nations without
Speaker 1: a Palestinian state. And finally, Clinton, Iran cannot have nuclear weapons. Bush,
Speaker 1: Iran cannot have nuclear weapons. Obama, Iran cannot have nuclear weapons. Biden,
Speaker 1: Iran cannot have nuclear weapons. Trump, I've destroyed around's nuclear weapons.
Speaker 1: Seeing a pattern here For all of my problems with Trump,
Speaker 1: his lack of regard for the way things have been
Speaker 1: done or the conventional thinking is both his greatest weakness
Speaker 1: but clearly.
Speaker 2: His greatest strength, no doubt so.
Speaker 1: Putting aside the current wrangling over whether the ceasefire has
Speaker 1: started or whether Trump's momentarily mad at bb net and
Speaker 1: Yahoo for continuing to hurl ordinance at the Mullus, the
Speaker 1: question is where do we go from here? What is next?
Speaker 1: Brett Behar had a couple of terrific guests on special
Speaker 1: Report last night, including Norm Rule, who is a longtime
Speaker 1: diplomat with expertise in the Middle East. We'll start with
Speaker 1: sixty one go from there, Michael.
Speaker 4: There's a healthy dose of skepticism because the Iranians don't
Speaker 4: have a great track record of meeting whatever they talk about,
Speaker 4: either publicly or privately.
Speaker 2: Is that fair, that's more than fair.
Speaker 5: And in fact, in recent hours, Iran's parliament has withdrawn
Speaker 5: or approval to work with the IEA. They've talked about
Speaker 5: pulling out from the on Proliferation Treaty. Iran remains aggressive
Speaker 5: within within the region Iran government. Iran's government is aiming
Speaker 5: to survive at a time when it's air defenses or
Speaker 5: in essence so weak that Israel or the United States
Speaker 5: can own any building in the country, let alone the sky.
Speaker 5: So in essence, it's looking to survive and to stabilize itself.
Speaker 5: But we'll see how the next few days play out.
Speaker 1: And then Brett transitions a bit into the question of
Speaker 1: regime change and where the Iranian people are, and he's
Speaker 1: talking in the next club. The other voice you're going
Speaker 1: to hear is Kareem Sajipor, who is a think tech
Speaker 1: guy and a writer and an expert on the region.
Speaker 4: There's a lot of mystery about opposition on the ground.
Speaker 4: What that looks like? You know a lot about it.
Speaker 4: Where does it stand?
Speaker 6: Well, it's a very polarized society and that you have
Speaker 6: a small minority that's ruling. I described it's a regime
Speaker 6: which aspires to be like North Korean, a society which
Speaker 6: aspires to be like South Korea, modern society. They want
Speaker 6: to live in an open world, prosperous country. They want
Speaker 6: to put the national interest before revolutionary ideology. The challenge
Speaker 6: in Iran, like many dictatorships, is that probably around fifteen
Speaker 6: to twenty percent is what the regimes loyalists are composed of.
Speaker 6: They're highly armed, they're organized, They're willing to kill on
Speaker 6: mass to stay in power and society. At the moment,
Speaker 6: opposition is unarmed, unorganized, and they're not willing to die
Speaker 6: on mass to take power.
Speaker 1: How about that the folks with the guns are in control.
Speaker 1: That's a shock. But yeah, how I love that line.
Speaker 1: You got a leadership that wants to live like North
Speaker 1: Korea and a people that wants to live like South Korea.
Speaker 2: That's pretty good to that previous clip where he talked
Speaker 2: about Israel or US or anybody really has the ability
Speaker 2: to get into any building in Iran and bomb whichever
Speaker 2: floor they want. Has there ever been a major country
Speaker 2: as defenseless as Iran is right now? I don't know.
Speaker 1: No, No, it's it's wild to see what'll skip to
Speaker 1: sixty four. I think Brad asked the question here. It
Speaker 1: sets itself up.
Speaker 4: When you were doing what you did for so many years,
Speaker 4: did you ever see this day coming?
Speaker 5: No, not in terms of the conditions at the time.
Speaker 5: It would have taken a very different set of conditions,
Speaker 5: which were achieved because of the Israeli persistent hammering of
Speaker 5: Iran's proxies and of Iran itself.
Speaker 2: Which was only possible because of October seventh. That's the
Speaker 2: weird unspooling of history that always happens. One of the
Speaker 2: worst days, the worst day in Israel's history, one of
Speaker 2: the worst days in Jewish history, may end up being
Speaker 2: great for Israel and Jewish people and for humanity.
Speaker 1: I would argue, because I believe fundamentalist Islam is a
Speaker 1: serious excuse me, a serious threat to the health and
Speaker 1: safety of humanity. It's an insidious ideology and it has
Speaker 1: been set back terribly. As we were talking about earlier,
Speaker 1: it was Netanyahu versus Solomoni, and Solomoni said, I have
Speaker 1: built these seven armies in Israel, will never be able
Speaker 1: to fight through them. And net Yao who said, hold
Speaker 1: my whatever they drink in Israel beer. And it took
Speaker 1: a hell of a long time, a hell of a
Speaker 1: lot of money, and some very good young lives, but
Speaker 1: they have absolutely abandoned the idea of we will just
Speaker 1: quake in fear and trust that our adversaries are not
Speaker 1: going to hurt us. And they've said, no, we're going
Speaker 1: to defeat them instead, and they've made enormous progress.
Speaker 2: Isn't that a weird thing about life, whether it's your
Speaker 2: own individual life or bigger history globally, just you don't
Speaker 2: know what's a good thing and what's a bad thing
Speaker 2: until till things play out. Sometimes something seems like it
Speaker 2: is really good, it turns out you'd have been better
Speaker 2: off without it, and the other way around. It's just
Speaker 2: you never know.
Speaker 1: Yes, absolutely true. Let's get back to Kareem Sadupor. I
Speaker 1: found this super interesting too. Sixty five kareem Uh.
Speaker 4: The administration, including the Vice president, very clear that they're
Speaker 4: not gung ho on regime change, despite the president's true
Speaker 4: social where he said, hey, if they do it, it's
Speaker 4: miga make a round great again. Is there going to
Speaker 4: be a push.
Speaker 6: From the administration or from the running people within? You know,
Speaker 6: at some point there is going to be a reckoning
Speaker 6: in Iran. Iran in many ways, it's like the late
Speaker 6: latter stages of the Soviet Union. It's it's a zombie
Speaker 6: regime whose ideology is dead, but it still has a
Speaker 6: lot of repressive capacity.
Speaker 2: And in other words, it's not impotent.
Speaker 4: It can still repress its own people, especially.
Speaker 6: And they don't have a plan be you know, as
Speaker 6: norm was just saying, now, very few friends in the world,
Speaker 6: so for for their mentality. In some ways, there's killer
Speaker 6: be killed. The thing that you want to watch in
Speaker 6: the Iriian context and the context of many dictatorships is
Speaker 6: is elite Fisher's is the regime starting to splinter at
Speaker 6: the top. A lot of their senior commanders have been assassinated,
Speaker 6: but so far we haven't seen major defections or splinters.
Speaker 2: And that's his best guess that he may be right,
Speaker 2: and he is an expert. But man, watching regimes fall
Speaker 2: over the years, who it's so hard to predict. Things
Speaker 2: can look so steady from the outside and they just
Speaker 2: collapse overnight, and then you got ones that look super,
Speaker 2: super shaky. Well, this isn't gonna last long, and they
Speaker 2: hang on for another ten years.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm a student of Iranian politics, not an expert.
Speaker 1: There are unique aspects to Iran that a lot of
Speaker 1: places don't share, and that's specifically fervent religious fundamentalism combined
Speaker 1: with self preservation and economic concerns. And boy, that's teasing
Speaker 1: that out. Well, like you point out, sometimes it's completely
Speaker 1: shocking how quickly it all falls apart. This has different
Speaker 1: layers to work through, but I'm sure it'll be every
Speaker 1: bit as crazy when it does unfold. And then finally, JD.
Speaker 1: Vance was on with Brett. Was it the previous night
Speaker 1: or all this stuff is happening so quickly? I'm seeing
Speaker 1: if we u JD said, it's not the question of
Speaker 1: where the enriched uranium is is not. The fundamental question
Speaker 1: is what's that? Michael? It was last night? It was
Speaker 1: last night, okay, And he said, yeah, that's not that
Speaker 1: big a question not a fundamental question. Final note from
Speaker 1: kream Sagiport in sixty sixty disagrees.
Speaker 6: It's imperative that we get a hold of this highly
Speaker 6: enricheranium or understand where it is. Because despite the fact
Speaker 6: the Vice president said the nuclear program has been decimated,
Speaker 6: that's not to say that they can't. You know, they
Speaker 6: have the technical know how, they can assemble a cascade
Speaker 6: of centrifuges and a somewhere they have the uranium. So
Speaker 6: if there's still hell bent on acquiring a weapon, you know,
Speaker 6: that's something that we obviously have to impede.
Speaker 2: Oki dok if we can so somewhere there is nine
Speaker 2: hundred pounds of fairly enriched uranium, and then they might
Speaker 2: have centrifuges we have no idea about. And I wouldn't
Speaker 2: be shocked to see breaking news any of these days
Speaker 2: where Iran announces they've got the bomb, They've got a bomb,
Speaker 2: they pulled it off.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I suppose they desperately want that, and it would
Speaker 1: absolutely make sense. If I was a strategist working for Iran,
Speaker 1: I'd say, agreed to anything, submit to anything, offer no resistance,
Speaker 1: abs be like a puppy rollover to show your belly.
Speaker 1: Then meanwhile, over there, these centers were working on those
Speaker 1: centerfugees as fast as we can. We've got to buy
Speaker 1: time until we can set off a nuke as a demonstration.
Speaker 1: That's the only way we survive. Let's get to work now.
Speaker 1: So that's that's one of the reasons I'm a little
Speaker 1: mystified by Trump pissed off at Israel for continuing to
Speaker 1: prosecute their efforts to prevent that. Who knows, maybe things
Speaker 1: will change again. The next twenty four hours been you know, volatile.
Speaker 2: You know what's coming up, the anniversary of Live Aid
Speaker 2: if you're old enough to remember that, it happened in
Speaker 2: nineteen eighty five, July thirteenth. I just saw CNN's got
Speaker 2: a big retrospective special with interviews with a lot of
Speaker 2: new musicians and people that were there and everything like that.
Speaker 2: Maybe we'll talk about what we'll be back by then
Speaker 2: we'll talk about that on that anniversary. That's quite the delia.
Speaker 2: Did it accomplish anything in terms of actually stopping starvation?
Speaker 1: It was one of the great amount of money.
Speaker 2: It's one of the greatest concerts of all time, But
Speaker 2: how much it accomplished in terms of them. I don't know.
Speaker 1: It was fraught with difficulties and complexities.
Speaker 7: I know that as those things always are, right, Yeah,
Speaker 7: it's easy for them to get out of hand, and
Speaker 7: just the money to go in the wrong places, and
Speaker 7: the bigger something gets, the harder it is to control.
Speaker 2: Yeah, anyway, much to talk about. Hope you can stay.
Speaker 8: The CEO of the messaging app Telegram said in a
Speaker 8: recent interview that is multi billion dollar fortune will be
Speaker 8: left to these six children he has with three different partners,
Speaker 8: and the more than one hundred children conceived through sperm donation.
Speaker 8: And I just have to say it's refreshing to see
Speaker 8: a billionaire who knows how many kids he has.
Speaker 2: All Right, I didn't like that, Joe, you have a
Speaker 2: joke that's funny.
Speaker 1: I think we've done all their jokes today already. O.
Speaker 2: Well, we should have stopped earlier.
Speaker 1: So you went with unfunny ones. Okay, there will be
Speaker 1: a meeting later.
Speaker 2: So here's a protest unhappy that she got run over on.
Speaker 9: Saturday after leaving the No King's protest, I was struck
Speaker 9: and injured by a motor vehicle. The cops here in Catskill,
Speaker 9: New York took several days to get an accident report together.
Speaker 9: They never I've been asking for information for days because
Speaker 9: I've been very traumatized by this event. And now, in
Speaker 9: order to re traumatize me, the cops here are telling
Speaker 9: me that it's my fault that I put my human
Speaker 9: body in the street to be hit by a motor vehicle,
Speaker 9: and now they're giving me a citation for.
Speaker 2: Being in the road.
Speaker 9: Honestly, I think that's a bunch of crap, and I'm.
Speaker 2: Very very upset. Who bleeped out crap?
Speaker 1: Don't don't bleep out the crap and grab crap, bunch
Speaker 1: of grabbers, bleep crap.
Speaker 2: In the modern world, the president is dropping f bombs
Speaker 2: and we bleeped crap.
Speaker 1: But if I might return to the thread of the audio, Oh.
Speaker 2: I don't know which protesters she was that got run over.
Speaker 2: I think is a different one than the one I
Speaker 2: put out on Twitter. That blonde girl who is like
Speaker 2: up on the hood of the car. She thought she
Speaker 2: could stop cars because I'm an angry college girl. Nothing
Speaker 2: can stop them an angry, angry college girl except maybe
Speaker 2: two thousand pounds of Detroit steel or Japanese steel or
Speaker 2: whatever was that ran over her leg. Then it keeps
Speaker 2: going forward and she just kind of slides down the
Speaker 2: hood and then he runs over her leg and then
Speaker 2: she's screaming and yelling how bare he Well, don't stand
Speaker 2: in front of cars, you mow ron. Well, we've you know,
Speaker 2: we raised them. They didn't get this way in there.
Speaker 2: We've taught them that their feelings matter more than anything
Speaker 2: else in the world. And you can do anything you want.
Speaker 2: You can smash out windows, you can take over of
Speaker 2: a building, you can stop trafficking and do whatever you want.
Speaker 2: You can glue yourself to a basketball court because what
Speaker 2: you care about matters more than anything in the world.
Speaker 1: Go ahead and mess with the bull as much as
Speaker 1: you want. You will never get the horns. Yes, we've
Speaker 1: taught them.
Speaker 2: So it's an election day in New York City for mayor.
Speaker 2: It's actually the primary, but whoever wins the Democratic Primary
Speaker 2: is going to be mayor. They got rank choice, probably
Speaker 2: not going to get over fifty percent, so it's going
Speaker 2: to go to multiple rounds. But according to all projections,
Speaker 2: at least on the polls that came out yesterday, this
Speaker 2: communist Mam Danny is going to win over Andrew Cuomo.
Speaker 2: More reporting on that many business leaders, including the leading grocer,
Speaker 2: billionaire John Castematis, threatened to close all of his grocery
Speaker 2: stores if this dude wins, because the dude is claiming
Speaker 2: he's going to run government grocery stores with lower prices
Speaker 2: and all that sort of stuff to compete, running on
Speaker 2: freebe heavy platform, promising free bus rides for everybody, everybody
Speaker 2: gets to ride the bus for free city run grocery
Speaker 2: stores and higher taxes on the rich. And this is
Speaker 2: what's going to win in New York City. Oh it's
Speaker 2: strict rent control too, yeah yeah yeah, and taxpayer funded
Speaker 2: transitioning for children. And he's going to set up a
Speaker 2: commission to go after hospitals that don't do surgeries on
Speaker 2: kids who want to change their sex.
Speaker 1: Right, yeah great. I can picture people like coming back
Speaker 1: from the space station saying, wait a minute, there's a
Speaker 1: communist running. Did you say against Andrew Cuomo? Yeah, I know,
Speaker 1: the disgraced groper, old people killing mobster, and I love
Speaker 1: New York.
Speaker 2: I actually was he back?
Speaker 1: And I love you?
Speaker 2: I actually haven't seen an interview with this man, Danny Dude,
Speaker 2: who might be the new mayor. He's apparently really good
Speaker 2: really good. He never had a job. He's one of
Speaker 2: those people. He's a really good speaker, very charismatic, very.
Speaker 1: Likable, happy, educated, wealthy Trustafarian.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, with all kinds of crazy, unworkable ideas. So
Speaker 2: that'll be fun to watch fail. Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 10: Define the president, we will attack Iran whatever stage of
Speaker 10: development they might be in their nuclear weapons program in
Speaker 10: the next ten years, during which they might foolishly consider
Speaker 10: launching an attack on Israel. We would be able to
Speaker 10: totally obliterate them. That's a terrible thing to say, but
Speaker 10: those people who run around need to understand that, because
Speaker 10: that perhaps will deter them from doing something that would
Speaker 10: be reckless, foolish and tragic.
Speaker 2: Hillary Clinton in two thousand and nine, she would have
Speaker 2: been Barack Obama's Secretary of State at that time, and.
Speaker 1: Is that right, Yeah, you just gotten inaugurated.
Speaker 2: So that was a strong we're not going to let
Speaker 2: Iran get the bomb. We will obliterate them comment from
Speaker 2: Hillary Clinton.
Speaker 1: And instead they went with the JCP away, which some
Speaker 1: would say was an impotent agreement that enriched that have
Speaker 1: made Iran realize that other people say he went crazy
Speaker 1: and riching under that stupid, fake agreement.
Speaker 2: She also didn't say we will go to Congress and
Speaker 2: get the war a war declared so we can obliterate them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, handful of headlines speaking of that. John Yu with
Speaker 1: a great piece in the National Review. Trump's strike on
Speaker 1: Iran was constitutional. And my favorite part of this is that,
Speaker 1: well he goes into the Federalist papers in Hamilton and
Speaker 1: but then he mentions that it started with George Washington,
Speaker 1: who prosecuted the so called Indian Wars without a declaration.
Speaker 1: Thomas Jefferson fought the Barbary pirates on his own authority.
Speaker 1: Abraham Lincoln launched an army and a navy and launched
Speaker 1: them against the South without calling Congress. In the session,
Speaker 1: FDR ordered escorts for British convoys and attacks on German submarines.
Speaker 1: Congress's declar glared war five times. Presidents have committed military
Speaker 1: forces to combat abroad more than one hundred and thirty times,
Speaker 1: including the Vietnam War, which has the W word right
Speaker 1: in the name. Anyway, uh, Gerard Baker Wall Street Journal,
Speaker 1: Trump's Iran strike looks judicious and pragmatic. By attacking key
Speaker 1: nuclear sites, the US enters a fight in our national
Speaker 1: interest in which An ally has done most of the
Speaker 1: heavy lifting. This from the uh, oh, you know, I
Speaker 1: did that at length. We'll skip over it here.
Speaker 2: We had half a million troops in Vietnam in nineteen
Speaker 2: sixty five, I believe.
Speaker 1: Wasn't a war.
Speaker 2: It was a police action. How could you have a
Speaker 2: half a million troops somewhere fighting and dying in Congress
Speaker 2: doesn't declare war, I mean, if you're not going to
Speaker 2: in that case, this whole bomb and Fordo, that seems
Speaker 2: to pale in comparison.
Speaker 1: Right, and again, Vietnam mostly perpetrated, prosecuted by Democratic presidents Nixon.
Speaker 1: At the end, I found this really interesting. Why Russia
Speaker 1: is giving Iran the cold shoulder after the Israel attack
Speaker 1: Teywaran was promised military aid before the air strikes, but
Speaker 1: it got little more than rhetoric from Moscow. Putent obviously
Speaker 1: prioritizing Russia's interests such as avoiding escalation, maintaining ties with Israel,
Speaker 1: and Trump over fully backing Iran, and they mentioned that
Speaker 1: Russia has a history of not really supporting allies and
Speaker 1: crisis like Armenia and Syria, and suggesting that Iran may
Speaker 1: face a similar disappointment.
Speaker 2: They go with the sucks for you doctrine.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. We made you big promises. Yeah, but we're
Speaker 1: that would be really inconvenient to us to actually carry
Speaker 1: through them. So Jerry Seinfeld says, you can take the reservation,
Speaker 1: but you don't have Yeah, it's the same thing if
Speaker 1: your buddy is Russia or China for that matter. Another
Speaker 1: headline is from the editorial board of the Wall Street Journal,
Speaker 1: Trump in the Twelve Day War, Iran's feeble retaliation shows
Speaker 1: how damage the kame Ni regime is absolutely true. Then
Speaker 1: they mentioned that the Justice Department another story Trump's Iran
Speaker 1: attacks for his concerns of retaliation in the US. I
Speaker 1: don't think the regime wants anybody to retaliate against the US,
Speaker 1: as I said earlier, and I stand by my analysis.
Speaker 1: If I'm a high level advisor to the Mullah's, I'm saying,
Speaker 1: show your belly like a dog, like a beaten dog,
Speaker 1: don't resist, agree to everything in anything. Meanwhile, behind the scenes,
Speaker 1: under deep cover, enrich uranium as fast as you can,
Speaker 1: but don't show a whiff of resistance. Cajole Trump into
Speaker 1: thinking the battle is over.
Speaker 2: We haven't read from Trump's long tweet that he put
Speaker 2: out yesterday. Congratulations to everyone, all caps, exclamation point. It
Speaker 2: has been fully agreed by in between Israel and Iran
Speaker 2: that there will be a complete and total ceasefire in
Speaker 2: approximately six hours from now, when Israel and Iran have
Speaker 2: wound down and completed in progress final missions for twelve hours,
Speaker 2: at which point the war will be considered ended officially,
Speaker 2: Iran will start the cease fire, and upon the twelve hour,
Speaker 2: twelfth hour, Israel will start the ceasefire, and it goes
Speaker 2: on like that, on the assumption that everything works as
Speaker 2: it should, which it will. I would like to congratulate
Speaker 2: both countries Isel and Iran on having the stamina, courage,
Speaker 2: and intelligence to end what should be called the twelve
Speaker 2: day War. In all caps. This is a war that
Speaker 2: could have gone on for years and destroyed the entire
Speaker 2: Middle East, but it didn't and never will. God bless Israel,
Speaker 2: God bless Iran, God blessed the Middle East, God blessed
Speaker 2: the United States, and God blessed the world.
Speaker 1: In all caps. First of all, excellent dramatic reading. Ah,
Speaker 1: God bless Iran. Congratulations, everything's great, and Iran's thinking what
Speaker 1: you brought us to your knees, to our knees, rather
Speaker 1: not your knees. You brought us to our knees, and
Speaker 1: now we're getting God bless Iran. But again, to me,
Speaker 1: that's I don't I don't know. Maybe I just don't
Speaker 1: understand the four to seven dimensional chess. But Iran is
Speaker 1: dangerous and just because you think it's over, it doesn't
Speaker 1: mean they think it's over. They're radical fundamental Islamists.
Speaker 2: Well, Israel don't know what the they're doing. Israel gets
Speaker 2: to say too, and so Israel and Iran continue to
Speaker 2: fight at each other a little bit. And that's when
Speaker 2: Trump said this, they don't know what the they're doing. Yes,
Speaker 2: he said that this morning on every television station aired BAT.
Speaker 1: You know, what's the latest update. So I haven't really
Speaker 1: been paying attention to the last couple of hours.
Speaker 2: But after that tweet went out yesterday, Israel Iran said
Speaker 2: they had not received any ceasefire proposal and sees no
Speaker 2: reason for one. A senior Iranian official told CNN that
Speaker 2: went on for several hours. Israel just didn't say anything,
Speaker 2: so it was quite a few hours before anybody said anything.
Speaker 2: Then they both came out and said, yes, we agree
Speaker 2: to a ceasefire, although things kept blowing up in both countries.
Speaker 1: The latest update is Iran or Israel and Iran deny
Speaker 1: violating a nascent truce, offering their own versions of events,
Speaker 1: and they cite the time difference involved or Iranian time
Speaker 1: is half an hour ahead of Israeli time, which is
Speaker 1: seven hours ahead of Eastern daylight time. Blah blah blah.
Speaker 2: I'm not Yeah, that happened, and there was some bombings
Speaker 2: both sides after the supposed deadline, but that's over now,
Speaker 2: it would seem, and maybe this is an actual ceasefire.
Speaker 2: I guess we'll see how long it lasts.
Speaker 1: Representative of al take Me to the River, A Green
Speaker 1: democrat of Texas says he will introduce articles of impeachment
Speaker 1: against President Trump, citing an abuse of power in the
Speaker 1: use of the military in a war without congressional authors, in.
Speaker 2: Which Trump responded today in a post make my day
Speaker 2: in all caps.
Speaker 1: Who elects this wacky dude of al Green? He was
Speaker 1: the guy with the cane who shook his cane to
Speaker 1: Trump and staged that publicity stunt at the what was
Speaker 1: State of the Union or whatever the speech, just so
Speaker 1: he could get dragged out and become a martyr for
Speaker 1: the cause.
Speaker 2: Man, if I ever end up super old and have
Speaker 2: a cane, I'm gonna shake my cane at people all
Speaker 2: the time. That'll be my go to move. You better
Speaker 2: watch out.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, threaten them with you old cane shaking Jack.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know him. Every time he gets mad, he
Speaker 2: starts shaking his cane at you. Sure, bald guy.
Speaker 1: I've still got my cane that I used for my
Speaker 1: hip surgeries, with the Romanian hand engraved wolf cane with
Speaker 1: the head of a wolf on there. It's good, good
Speaker 1: heavy cane, too good heavy wood, and you got the
Speaker 1: metal tip. You could do some serious damage.
Speaker 2: You could beat down a secessionist with that, couldn't you.
Speaker 2: You gonna keep that around for when you're really old.
Speaker 1: I suppose so. I mean it's a good cane.
Speaker 2: Nobody does canes really anymore. I mean, occasionally you see one.
Speaker 2: I feel like I see way more as a fashion
Speaker 2: statement canes than I see helps me walk canes. Walkers
Speaker 2: seem to be way more prevalent because they're so light
Speaker 2: and effective, and you fold up and put them in
Speaker 2: your car.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I suppose so.
Speaker 2: I mean my mom uses a walker thing mostly not
Speaker 2: a cane.
Speaker 1: Huh yeah, the cane is kind of a middle ground. See,
Speaker 1: you need a little help, the walker is safer. That's
Speaker 1: your being cautious. I've never tried to use a cane,
Speaker 1: so I don't know what to be like. Do you
Speaker 1: think the wolfhead was hard to get a grip on
Speaker 1: that thing? I don't know if I want a wolfhead.
Speaker 2: I think I want whatever is the best grip for
Speaker 2: keeping me from following my cane. Now it's uh, well, no,
Speaker 2: you get it's a nicely curved wooden handle. And then
Speaker 2: you know, beyond where my thumb and forefinger are forming
Speaker 2: the loop here, that's where the wolf head is.
Speaker 1: Okay, So you don't grab him by his head. He's
Speaker 1: he exists outside of your grip, gotcha, Yes.
Speaker 2: And then you use the cane as one of your legs.
Speaker 2: Is that the idea?
Speaker 1: Well, no, not entirely. I mean, I'm not like a
Speaker 1: Civil War amputee. No, you use it when your bad
Speaker 1: leg comes down. You've got it generally on the opposite side.
Speaker 2: Of you, so you're splitting the weight between the cane
Speaker 2: and your leg precisely. Doctor, Okay, now I understand cane technology.
Speaker 1: Wolf is entirely a stylistic choice. Does give me strength.
Speaker 1: There's a way that's difficult to explain.
Speaker 2: Then we will finish strong, mag yo, yo yo, how
Speaker 2: y'all doing.
Speaker 3: So?
Speaker 1: This is kind of apropos nothing other than the fact
Speaker 1: that we like it to Bill Maher had a couple
Speaker 1: of guests on Friday, including fat Paul mcgala. I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: you know what what, I'm overweight? Why would I say that?
Speaker 5: Paul?
Speaker 1: Just find him incredibly gimme he's he's doweye. Am I
Speaker 1: thinking of a different.
Speaker 2: Paul is a tiny little waif of a man.
Speaker 1: Okay, I have the wrong Clinton Night. I apologize to
Speaker 1: Paul mcgala. His friend's family. Pluff. It wasn't pluff. It
Speaker 1: was who wasn't anyway? Uh and whoever the Clinton Knight
Speaker 1: advisor Obama bro dude was, he was joining uh mar
Speaker 1: and making cynical noises about the army's birthday parade that
Speaker 1: Trump held last week that was the subject of so
Speaker 1: much conversation worth mentioning Thatt Wesley Hunt as a member
Speaker 1: of America's Armed Services retired ale congressman from Texas. Here's
Speaker 1: how the exchange went. Do I did I think it
Speaker 1: was a good idea have a parade.
Speaker 6: No, but if you're gonna do it, if you're gonna
Speaker 6: have a vaguely fascist parade, do it right.
Speaker 11: I'll say something about the parade to offer to offer
Speaker 11: another opinion from our side of this whole thing, and
Speaker 11: that is it was a two hundred and fiftieth birthday
Speaker 11: of our United States Army, as I said, thank you
Speaker 11: very much, and somebody that service, Nay says in a
Speaker 11: Patrick pilem again, my brother and sister going to West
Speaker 11: Point six years the military service, mostly in the army.
Speaker 11: My great great grandfather fought in the Civil War. And
Speaker 11: you know what I saw. I saw the President's salute
Speaker 11: the Corps of Cadets as they walked past them. I
Speaker 11: watching them salute the seventy fifth Ranger Regiment as they
Speaker 11: walked past them. I sat there and watched the fireworks
Speaker 11: behind the Washington Monument, and you know what I thought, Damn,
Speaker 11: that's absolutely outstanding. And it's far better than Joe Biden
Speaker 11: checking his watch from bodies.
Speaker 2: Were being returned to Dover. Okay, wait a minute, this
Speaker 2: is a hold on.
Speaker 11: This is a contract that we were talking about and
Speaker 11: why you lost because we were talking by a man
Speaker 11: that's talking about patriotism.
Speaker 2: And parades like that.
Speaker 11: When I was growing up, I served because I used
Speaker 11: to go with these parades and watch my dad participate
Speaker 11: in them. I saw the Blackhawks landing. I visited my
Speaker 11: sister at West Point. I said, by God, I want
Speaker 11: to serve this country too. And so the dichotomy of
Speaker 11: what we're seeing with President Trump and his patriotism saluting
Speaker 11: the flag.
Speaker 2: Actually making an effort.
Speaker 11: Rather you like it or agree with the execution, the
Speaker 11: effort is there.
Speaker 2: That's all you want to see. Execution does matter. First
Speaker 2: of all, thank you, Bill, I mean that. I said
Speaker 2: that to everybody. I've always have for twenty three years.
Speaker 2: I'll watched you for twenty years. Yet absolutely, that's a
Speaker 2: good stuff. Last night, Yeah, that's fantastic. Well said, we
Speaker 2: got a possible war going on right now. So I
Speaker 2: hadn't seen Donald Trump's latest tweets. Do you have time
Speaker 2: for this, Michael? How much time I got?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 2: We got a minute thirty perfect. So one from a
Speaker 2: little earlier. This was in Israel's planes were still in
Speaker 2: the air headed to bomb Iran, and Trump was trying
Speaker 2: to stop that. Israel's not going to attack Iran. All
Speaker 2: planes will turn around and head home while doing a
Speaker 2: friendly plane wave to Iran? Is that thing nacking the
Speaker 2: wings really like, yeah, we're not gonna bomb you, just
Speaker 2: saying hey, uh, nobody will be hurt. The ceasefire is
Speaker 2: in effect. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Speaker 2: Donald J. Trump, President of the United States. Which is
Speaker 2: kind of funny the fact that he makes these giant
Speaker 2: proclamations about law or world changing events through tweets and
Speaker 2: then just you know, signs them with his name, Donald J. Trump,
Speaker 2: President of the United States, and then an hour after that,
Speaker 2: all caps on this one Israel, do not drop those bombs.
Speaker 2: If you do it, it's a major violation. Bring your
Speaker 2: pilots home now, Donald J. Trump, President of the United States.
Speaker 2: Is he actually communicating that way? I mean, is that
Speaker 2: for us to see Andy communicated it to them or
Speaker 2: is that actually the full communication on these things?
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't think as a president you would want to say.
Speaker 2: Don't do it, don't do it, don't do it.
Speaker 1: And then have it defied, because then you're in a
Speaker 1: position where you have to then do something really stupid
Speaker 1: and counterproductive to an ally. This is this is the
Speaker 1: worst side of Trump. The best side is when he said,
Speaker 1: you know what, everybody's talking about moving the embassy to Jerusalem,
Speaker 1: We're moving. And he moved it and it was fine.
Speaker 2: But doesn't he contact Rubio and say, hey, Rubio, get
Speaker 2: a hold of net and Yahoo right now. No, he
Speaker 2: just tweets it.
Speaker 3: Apparently it's finals, So well your comments and entertain us.
Speaker 2: Yess closure for the show is love. Here's your host
Speaker 2: final thoughts Joe Getty.
Speaker 1: Hey, let's get a final thought from everybody on the

Speaker 2: I'm gonna try communicating with my kids.
Speaker 3: This way.

Speaker 2: Make sure you have your homework done and your room cleared.
Speaker 2: Thank you for your tention to this matter. Your father.
Speaker 1: Wow, wow, ugh gosh. My final thought is I'm back
Speaker 1: to having that whole it's too nutty feeling, just the
Speaker 1: whole Trump administration, foreign policy and all. I was thinking
Speaker 1: it's just too nutty. Then it was like, oh, now
Speaker 1: I get what he's doing. This is great, We're solid
Speaker 1: with this. Now I'm back to this is nutty.
Speaker 2: Damn. I uh, can we ignore it on vacation. I'm
