WEBVTT - Bending The Bar 0:00:02.160 --> 0:00:06.440 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George 0:00:06.519 --> 0:00:11.000 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Ketty, I'm Strong 0:00:11.119 --> 0:00:11.600 and Dead. 0:00:11.520 --> 0:00:12.800 Katie and he. 0:00:15.680 --> 0:00:21.720 Armstrong and Eddy. 0:00:23.920 --> 0:00:27.400 Three weeks ago, Trump administration members, including Secretary of State 0:00:27.440 --> 0:00:31.320 Marco Rubio, blasted Iran for seeking to monetize the waterway. 0:00:31.720 --> 0:00:34.280 No country has allowed to charge tolls or fees on 0:00:34.360 --> 0:00:36.760 an international waterway. I don't think we have anybody to 0:00:36.800 --> 0:00:39.080 convince around here in that regard. I think all the 0:00:39.120 --> 0:00:40.840 countries in this region would agree with us. 0:00:40.920 --> 0:00:44.720 Today, Ron's foreign minister, attempting to capture Irony, wrote the 0:00:44.760 --> 0:00:48.159 President of the United States is absolutely right, stating he 0:00:48.240 --> 0:00:52.479 agrees that a country guaranteeing safe passage deserves compensation, arguing 0:00:52.880 --> 0:00:55.640 Iran has always been the guardian of the Strait and 0:00:55.720 --> 0:00:59.080 will remain so forever. Twenty percent is, of course too much. 0:00:59.280 --> 0:01:03.520 We will be fair snarkiness even among leaders were at 0:01:03.560 --> 0:01:06.399 war with I'll be darned Trump explaining here why we 0:01:06.440 --> 0:01:09.039 should do the toll thing there in the Strait. 0:01:09.440 --> 0:01:12.640 We're going to keep the straight and we'll probably run it, 0:01:12.680 --> 0:01:14.960 will become the guardian of the Strait. Maybe we'll go 0:01:15.040 --> 0:01:17.920 with the guardian angel of the Strait, and we should 0:01:17.920 --> 0:01:21.080 be reimbursed for that. We guarded it for nothing, and 0:01:21.120 --> 0:01:22.480 now we're going to guard it and we're going to 0:01:22.520 --> 0:01:25.040 get paid for guarding it a lot of money. But 0:01:25.120 --> 0:01:28.240 we just want to be reimbursed for doing all of this, 0:01:28.400 --> 0:01:31.319 for putting our people in danger. But we're really not 0:01:31.400 --> 0:01:33.319 putting people. We're really saving people. 0:01:33.560 --> 0:01:34.600 Twenty percent is a lot. 0:01:34.680 --> 0:01:36.640 Is classic Trump, where you throw out a really early, 0:01:36.680 --> 0:01:38.840 big number off the top of your head and go 0:01:38.920 --> 0:01:41.520 from there. I haven't come across anybody who thinks this 0:01:41.600 --> 0:01:44.880 toll will ever actually happen. If it did, it would 0:01:44.920 --> 0:01:48.760 be thirty million dollars for the really big ships to 0:01:48.840 --> 0:01:50.520 pay the toll to go through. 0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:51.880 That's a lot. 0:01:52.040 --> 0:01:54.840 But what would the collection mechanism be? And you know 0:01:54.880 --> 0:01:57.720 all kinds of different stuff there. Nobody seems to think 0:01:57.760 --> 0:02:00.919 that's actually good for everything happened to you, idiot, bo Please, 0:02:01.000 --> 0:02:02.120 it's well established. 0:02:02.800 --> 0:02:05.640 I doubt they take checks. You got a big wooden 0:02:05.720 --> 0:02:07.640 thing that comes down and the boat can't go through 0:02:07.760 --> 0:02:10.800 until you pay the toll. Exactly, you got the change bucket. 0:02:10.800 --> 0:02:13.320 The captain just leans over the rail of his boat 0:02:13.320 --> 0:02:15.440 and hurls the change down into the bucket. 0:02:15.880 --> 0:02:18.720 Here's Trump with more explanation of where we currently are 0:02:18.760 --> 0:02:19.399 in this whole thing. 0:02:19.880 --> 0:02:22.600 This is almost a military skirmish. 0:02:22.840 --> 0:02:23.080 Now. 0:02:23.240 --> 0:02:25.440 With all of that being said, you have to get 0:02:25.440 --> 0:02:27.720 people that want it. Makes up that we had to 0:02:27.760 --> 0:02:30.720 deal with them two days ago and then they said, oh, 0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:33.320 we can't make that deal, we have to negotiate it further. 0:02:33.720 --> 0:02:36.240 And this is what they've done for forty seven years. 0:02:36.880 --> 0:02:41.560 The difference is nobody negotiated like I do. And this 0:02:41.600 --> 0:02:45.200 should have been done by Bush and Obama and Biden 0:02:45.320 --> 0:02:48.919 and people before them. Frankly, it's forty seven years. They've 0:02:48.960 --> 0:02:52.440 been ripping off everybody and really hurt again, killing thousands 0:02:52.480 --> 0:02:52.920 of people. 0:02:55.040 --> 0:02:56.280 So we have that as true. 0:02:56.360 --> 0:02:59.880 But now what right, So we haven't even talked about 0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:04.160 So I said yesterday. Trump should go on TV tonight 0:03:04.919 --> 0:03:08.959 and explain to the American people how Iran getting a 0:03:09.040 --> 0:03:12.520 nuclear weapon would be the worst day in world history, 0:03:13.320 --> 0:03:15.840 and nobody's been willing to stop it, as he just explained, 0:03:15.840 --> 0:03:17.840 and we're gonna stop it now and the price of 0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:19.360 gas is gonna go up for a while, we're gonna 0:03:19.360 --> 0:03:22.280 deal with it. He should make that, make that case. 0:03:22.320 --> 0:03:23.960 He should have made that case where the war started. 0:03:24.000 --> 0:03:26.519 But he should made that case yesterday, since the blockade 0:03:26.600 --> 0:03:29.680 is back on as of four o'clock this afternoon. When 0:03:29.720 --> 0:03:32.480 it was announced that Trump was gonna go on television 0:03:32.560 --> 0:03:34.920 Thursday evening, I thought, Okay, here he goes. He's gonna 0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:38.040 he's gonna explain to the American people why this is 0:03:38.120 --> 0:03:39.560 important and what we're about to do. 0:03:39.920 --> 0:03:40.360 Nope. 0:03:40.480 --> 0:03:43.240 Trump is going on TV Thursday night and has asked 0:03:43.280 --> 0:03:46.960 the networks for time because he has new evidence on 0:03:47.080 --> 0:03:51.160 how the twenty twenty election was stolen. Oh no, that's 0:03:51.200 --> 0:03:57.160 why he's going on TV. Oh boy, I hadn't heard that. Yeah, 0:03:57.280 --> 0:04:00.320 apparently there's some new information about how foreign country is 0:04:00.320 --> 0:04:03.240 probably Russia, intervened in the twenty twenty election and how 0:04:03.280 --> 0:04:03.880 it was stolen. 0:04:04.240 --> 0:04:06.960 So that's why he's going on TV. Not to deal 0:04:07.000 --> 0:04:11.640 with the war with Iran, to re energize the twenty 0:04:11.680 --> 0:04:16.040 twenty election was stolen debate, which why that makes any 0:04:16.080 --> 0:04:19.719 difference anymore? You you want a second term, fairly easily 0:04:22.040 --> 0:04:23.800 you could make the argument that weve got to root 0:04:23.839 --> 0:04:27.080 out any electoral frauds, certainly, but I mean there are 0:04:27.120 --> 0:04:30.359 ways to do that, you know. But the primetime address. 0:04:30.600 --> 0:04:32.400 Seriously, when I heard he was going to address the nation, 0:04:32.440 --> 0:04:34.520 I thought, Okay, here it comes. You know, we're about 0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:36.479 to do something, but we're going to take carg Islands. 0:04:36.560 --> 0:04:40.080 He's going to prepare the United States for casualties and 0:04:40.160 --> 0:04:41.400 gas being expensive for it. 0:04:41.520 --> 0:04:46.080 Certain that was the topic was I was absolutely certain of. Nope, nope, 0:04:46.360 --> 0:04:50.640 twenty twenty election stuff. I know, it's absolutely unbelievable. Here 0:04:50.680 --> 0:04:53.320 he is talking about a nuke fifty six place, Michael. 0:04:53.360 --> 0:04:56.840 If we'd involved, then they would have had a nuclear 0:04:56.880 --> 0:05:00.440 weapon long ago, one month, within one month the day 0:05:00.520 --> 0:05:02.120 we bombed them, they would have had If we didn't 0:05:02.160 --> 0:05:02.320 do it. 0:05:02.320 --> 0:05:03.680 They would have had a nuclear weapon. 0:05:04.120 --> 0:05:04.719 If they had a. 0:05:04.760 --> 0:05:08.200 Nuclear weapon, Israel would no longer be with us, and 0:05:08.279 --> 0:05:10.560 the Middle East probably would no longer be with us. 0:05:11.000 --> 0:05:14.600 So they sent missiles to five different countries that never 0:05:14.640 --> 0:05:15.800 even knew they were involved. 0:05:16.440 --> 0:05:20.200 Because they're stone called crazy, they are crazy. Yeah, you 0:05:20.360 --> 0:05:22.920 keep saying. Now, you keep saying that you don't seem. 0:05:22.720 --> 0:05:25.960 To actually believe that they're crazy, because you keep claiming 0:05:26.080 --> 0:05:29.240 that you made a deal with them. They've shown no 0:05:29.760 --> 0:05:35.560 willingness or interest in a deal whatsoever, but you keep 0:05:35.680 --> 0:05:40.440 pretending to yourself. I really am flummuxed by this whole thing. 0:05:40.520 --> 0:05:43.440 I can't wait to read years from now the history 0:05:43.480 --> 0:05:46.119 of it, when Marco Ruby or JD. Vance or whoever 0:05:46.200 --> 0:05:49.520 talks about what was going on behind the scenes, if 0:05:49.600 --> 0:05:53.560 it was the whole wishes being the father of your thoughts, 0:05:53.920 --> 0:05:59.760 or it'll be Maduro too. I get that in the beginning, 0:06:01.160 --> 0:06:03.240 and you can excuse him for thinking that they would 0:06:03.240 --> 0:06:03.599 be able. 0:06:03.480 --> 0:06:06.080 To pull that off. And you know, sometimes I'm not 0:06:06.200 --> 0:06:11.880 sure you can, no, but I'll hear you out. Well, okay, 0:06:11.920 --> 0:06:15.080 but that just makes you wrong. You're wrong. You thought 0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:16.520 you could do it and it turned out you couldn't. 0:06:16.920 --> 0:06:19.360 With a big strike and decapitate them and everything like that, 0:06:19.640 --> 0:06:24.520 You're wrong, and Joe's mine badly wrong. 0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:29.119 But after that, though, for the last however many months, 0:06:29.480 --> 0:06:33.039 when you keep talking about I'll never under I'll never 0:06:33.240 --> 0:06:36.000 understand Jade Vance should never be president because of that 0:06:36.240 --> 0:06:37.080 one quote. 0:06:37.920 --> 0:06:40.480 You know what it's cool. You know what's really cool 0:06:40.600 --> 0:06:44.320 is a revolutionary guard now realizes that being against the 0:06:44.400 --> 0:06:47.440 United States all these years is a bad idea. He's 0:06:47.920 --> 0:06:50.160 not a dumb guy. He's the last the last thing 0:06:50.360 --> 0:06:52.479 is is a dumb guy. Why in the world did 0:06:52.560 --> 0:06:56.200 he say that? Yeah, I know, I know it was ridiculous, 0:06:57.120 --> 0:07:00.840 and yeah, well I just again every single clip I 0:07:00.960 --> 0:07:04.960 respond to the same way. What now, Yeah they suck, Yeah, 0:07:05.040 --> 0:07:07.840 they're crazy. Yeah they're religious fanatics. Yeah they're trying to 0:07:07.839 --> 0:07:10.000 get a nuke. Yeah, you knocked back their new program 0:07:10.120 --> 0:07:12.640 a long time. Yeah, their navy is at the bottom 0:07:12.640 --> 0:07:15.080 of the ocean. Yes, their defenses are decimated. 0:07:15.560 --> 0:07:15.840 Now what. 0:07:18.080 --> 0:07:20.600 Well, I feel like there are two options. 0:07:21.360 --> 0:07:24.800 You do the go full on war, open the straight 0:07:24.920 --> 0:07:28.120 militarily take the island, probably have to put boots on 0:07:28.160 --> 0:07:32.320 the ground, lose life, that sort of stuff. How long 0:07:32.400 --> 0:07:36.120 you'd have to hold that before you'd root out all 0:07:36.160 --> 0:07:40.320 the iro GC? I mean, would we be sending troops 0:07:40.400 --> 0:07:44.000 into interior Iran like we were doing in Afghanistan for 0:07:44.040 --> 0:07:45.600 a while, trying to root out the tally ban? 0:07:45.680 --> 0:07:48.680 I mean, what will we have a surge? Yeah? Yeah, great? 0:07:49.160 --> 0:07:52.000 Or the we shouldn't have lifted the blockade in the 0:07:52.040 --> 0:07:54.720 first time. Leave the blockade on, do it for a 0:07:54.760 --> 0:07:57.080 long time, choke them off until they run out of money, 0:07:57.120 --> 0:07:59.320 don't let them make any money. That was the Joe 0:07:59.360 --> 0:08:02.240 Getty policy is, you may recall, so the regime falls. 0:08:02.760 --> 0:08:04.960 Why the hell are you letting up the pressure? I 0:08:05.200 --> 0:08:07.480 says to myself, Well, I said, do you good folks 0:08:07.720 --> 0:08:10.760 at the time? Anyway, what's in the bank, what's in 0:08:10.840 --> 0:08:11.160 the back? 0:08:11.280 --> 0:08:13.840 What's cool? I'll tell you what's cool is they changed 0:08:13.880 --> 0:08:16.040 their mind. They've come around. That's why you let up 0:08:16.080 --> 0:08:18.520 the pressure. Why Michael? 0:08:18.880 --> 0:08:22.440 For forty seven years, this country has been a thorn 0:08:22.480 --> 0:08:24.440 in our side. It's been kind of a basket case 0:08:24.520 --> 0:08:28.680 for Democrat and Republican administrations. The coolest thing about the 0:08:28.760 --> 0:08:31.160 progress we've made over the last few weeks is that 0:08:31.240 --> 0:08:34.760 you see people within the Iranian system, senior leadership, even 0:08:34.840 --> 0:08:38.360 IRGC officials, say, you know what, we may have some animosity, 0:08:38.480 --> 0:08:41.360 we may have some mistrust, but we recognize the way 0:08:41.400 --> 0:08:43.640 that we've done business with the United States for forty 0:08:43.679 --> 0:08:44.760 seven years as a mistake. 0:08:45.160 --> 0:08:46.240 Let's try something else. 0:08:46.600 --> 0:08:49.400 We're going to verify that, of course, but we're certainly 0:08:49.440 --> 0:08:50.520 willing to try something else. 0:08:50.640 --> 0:08:53.920 If they comply, you've got to be getting And they 0:08:53.960 --> 0:08:56.599 didn't comply for twenty minutes. No, And I don't know 0:08:56.679 --> 0:08:58.240 why they didn't, because they had a really good deal. 0:08:58.280 --> 0:08:59.920 I don't know why they didn't just keep cashing the 0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:03.200 checks and working on getting a nuclear weapon behind the scenes. 0:09:03.360 --> 0:09:06.400 I don't know why they started bombing the ships, but yeah, 0:09:07.080 --> 0:09:11.120 So what's in the bag? What's inside your dogs food bag? 0:09:12.160 --> 0:09:14.800 Not the good nutrition they need necessarily, But you don't 0:09:14.840 --> 0:09:17.120 need to buy some crazy expensive new dog food.

So I just saw up here. 0:10:22.559 --> 0:10:25.080 It reminded me of some biggest footwear mistake you're making 0:10:25.160 --> 0:10:26.959 in the gym. I don't know if I'm making a 0:10:27.000 --> 0:10:29.520 footwear mistake in the gym, but it reminded me. I 0:10:29.640 --> 0:10:32.320 think I may be making that very footwear mistake. 0:10:32.520 --> 0:10:35.600 Really, what is it. It's not wearing the death pants. 0:10:36.640 --> 0:10:42.800 I'm guessing it's wearing the Maxi patting running shoes. That's true. Out, 0:10:42.960 --> 0:10:45.320 that's true. I stopped doing that because it's just it's 0:10:45.400 --> 0:10:47.959 not great for some of the extracises as I do. 0:10:48.440 --> 0:10:50.440 You taught me too wobbly, you tip over. 0:10:50.559 --> 0:10:54.040 Yeah, if you're going straightforward with various things, those those 0:10:54.120 --> 0:10:57.000 super tall running shoes are pretty cool. But man, if 0:10:57.040 --> 0:10:59.920 you need to do anything like brace yourself lifting weight 0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:03.320 or something, they're not the best, really not very good. 0:11:04.000 --> 0:11:07.760 But there's a new guy at the gym is so huge. 0:11:08.360 --> 0:11:12.400 He's among the hugest people I've ever seen in my life. Wow, 0:11:12.880 --> 0:11:14.640 I almost want to talk to him and say, what's 0:11:14.679 --> 0:11:18.040 it like? Being so huge and not in a He 0:11:18.200 --> 0:11:20.720 looks like the dad from the Incredibles. Do you remember 0:11:20.800 --> 0:11:23.680 that cartoon for kids movie? He's built like that guy, 0:11:23.840 --> 0:11:28.000 like it's it's cartoonish. He's so wide. I like, where 0:11:28.040 --> 0:11:29.120 do you get T shirts? 0:11:29.200 --> 0:11:29.440 Dude? 0:11:30.280 --> 0:11:33.880 And not he's not in a ripped sort of muscular 0:11:34.160 --> 0:11:37.120 like on a magazine sort of guy. He's definitely he 0:11:37.200 --> 0:11:38.520 looks like zero percent body fat. 0:11:38.559 --> 0:11:40.480 But he's just so wide. 0:11:40.960 --> 0:11:43.120 I can't imagine how miserable would be to go through life. 0:11:43.400 --> 0:11:45.760 There's no way he could sit in an airline seat. 0:11:46.120 --> 0:11:47.720 No way, he'd have to buy three seats. 0:11:48.280 --> 0:11:50.880 Right, So I'd love to see the guy so ticket 0:11:50.960 --> 0:11:54.559 clandestine picture that's not at all unethical or weird. He's 0:11:54.600 --> 0:11:59.079 gonna look pretty gay. Yeah, yeah, is that like the 0:11:59.200 --> 0:12:01.960 woman who just it's Tanner and well guys like this too, 0:12:02.360 --> 0:12:04.800 Tanner and Tanner and Tanner till they look like a 0:12:04.880 --> 0:12:08.920 catcher's mitt he can't see or it's like anorexia and referm. 0:12:09.040 --> 0:12:10.920 This guy looks like it's just the way he was 0:12:11.000 --> 0:12:14.839 built and also lifts weight it looks very natural. But 0:12:15.000 --> 0:12:18.679 he's so wide his shoulders must be I don't know 0:12:18.679 --> 0:12:21.480 how far that would be, four feet wide. It's it's 0:12:22.480 --> 0:12:24.520 maybe he's a robot of some sort. I don't know 0:12:24.520 --> 0:12:26.679 if he can even be a human. It could be. 0:12:27.120 --> 0:12:29.240 And then the amount of weight he lifts with the 0:12:29.320 --> 0:12:32.800 barb actually bending the bar bend. When I lift weight, 0:12:33.360 --> 0:12:37.240 Oh my god, I can't imagine what multiple of what 0:12:37.360 --> 0:12:39.439 I lift it would take to bend the bar. 0:12:40.480 --> 0:12:42.480 I can barely lift the bar. It's terrible. 0:12:44.000 --> 0:12:45.640 I hate when I have to move the bar when 0:12:45.679 --> 0:12:47.839 somebody's put the bar somewhere else and just carrying the bar. 0:12:48.120 --> 0:12:54.319 So wow, wow. You just give him a quarter and 0:12:54.360 --> 0:12:55.440 see if he can break it in half. 0:12:55.520 --> 0:12:56.960 There you go, see if he can tear a quarter 0:12:57.040 --> 0:12:58.959 in half. I've seen it done, sir, he can't do it. 0:12:59.080 --> 0:12:59.839 You are a wimp. 0:13:01.520 --> 0:13:03.439 I think I can outrun him. Surely he can't run 0:13:03.559 --> 0:13:08.559 very fast. I don't ask him. I don't know. Well, 0:13:08.640 --> 0:13:10.520 you might find out if you can outrun him after 0:13:10.600 --> 0:13:12.240 he catches you taking pictures of him. 0:13:15.240 --> 0:13:17.599 I did want to talk about the DSA, which is 0:13:17.640 --> 0:13:20.079 in the news a lot, maybe an hour for the 0:13:20.160 --> 0:13:24.760 Democratic Socialists of America Party. Jonah Goldberg had a great screen. 0:13:24.840 --> 0:13:27.400 He went on off on on Twitter last week. He's 0:13:27.480 --> 0:13:30.600 really worked up about this socialism stuff because he's written 0:13:30.679 --> 0:13:34.960 several books about capitalism and socialism being awful and all. 0:13:34.880 --> 0:13:39.880 That sort of stuff. Oh boy, speaking of lefties, the 0:13:39.960 --> 0:13:42.920 man with the world's worst voice is back in the news. 0:13:43.040 --> 0:13:48.800 Oh yeah, great, I think it's legit to Actually, I'm sorry, 0:13:49.360 --> 0:13:52.480 I know some of your streaming. Don't do it. You start, 0:13:53.000 --> 0:13:56.600 I swear to God, I'll find you. The weird guy 0:13:56.920 --> 0:13:57.880 who brought. 0:13:57.720 --> 0:14:06.120 Us the vocal fry and the word I have a 0:14:06.200 --> 0:14:10.120 little offend that guy asked that guy. 0:14:10.160 --> 0:14:12.360 He's back at the dube stick. Stay tuned. 0:14:18.960 --> 0:14:21.760 California man recently said a Guinness World record by solving 0:14:21.840 --> 0:14:26.400 two rubixed cube puzzles while skydiving. The previous record was 0:14:26.600 --> 0:14:35.560 almost two. Didn't even get his name on Tuesday. They 0:14:35.600 --> 0:14:37.400 asked his family. They're like, you don't want to put 0:14:37.440 --> 0:14:39.400 his name on it. They're like, yeah, put dumb mother. 0:14:41.520 --> 0:14:43.040 They're like, we're not going to do that. They're like, 0:14:43.200 --> 0:14:53.600 then leave it. Black people in their stunts. I guess 0:14:53.640 --> 0:14:58.400 he gotta get the clicks, get the Instagram followers or something. 0:14:58.840 --> 0:15:01.040 Maybe I'm too old to understand and the need I 0:15:01.080 --> 0:15:04.480 don't know. I just look it up at the TV. 0:15:04.680 --> 0:15:08.560 So Norway got beat by England in World Cup soccer 0:15:08.640 --> 0:15:13.640 and they returned home, and oh my god, even though 0:15:13.720 --> 0:15:15.800 they only made it to the final eight, one hundred 0:15:16.120 --> 0:15:18.760 thousand people turned out in the streets to watch them 0:15:18.880 --> 0:15:21.800 land at the airport and get off the plane. Fighter 0:15:21.920 --> 0:15:24.320 jets came and intercepted the plane and flew next to 0:15:24.400 --> 0:15:27.720 it as it landed, and then the striking Viking, Eric 0:15:27.760 --> 0:15:30.960 Hollin got off the plane carrying his stuffed raccoon that 0:15:31.080 --> 0:15:34.320 he bought at a Texas bootstore, which is funny. 0:15:34.680 --> 0:15:38.400 Crowd going wild. That's really fun, I guess because they 0:15:38.400 --> 0:15:41.120 don't have an NBA team, or you don't have other 0:15:41.160 --> 0:15:45.000 sports to cheer for. Whatever, and get into the Elite eight, 0:15:45.680 --> 0:15:48.400 it's a hell of an achievement. Oh yeah, yeah, you 0:15:48.520 --> 0:15:50.320 seem to be poop pooing it. I won't have it. 0:15:50.560 --> 0:15:53.360 I don't know. Should we be rooting for France against 0:15:53.360 --> 0:15:59.160 Spain today since it's bastile day? Go ahead if you 0:15:59.280 --> 0:15:59.560 want to. 0:16:02.400 --> 0:16:07.160 Hanson, our executive producer, believes there's been an uptick in 0:16:08.680 --> 0:16:12.080 attractive young teachers having sex with high school boys, which 0:16:12.160 --> 0:16:15.880 is a story that when did that first like erupts 0:16:15.920 --> 0:16:17.880 a thing? And then I remember us talking about it 0:16:18.000 --> 0:16:20.720 on the air decades ago, and theyn getting all kinds 0:16:20.760 --> 0:16:22.440 of emails. I was about to say text this is 0:16:22.480 --> 0:16:25.520 before texts existed, Emails from people say, yeah, it happened 0:16:25.520 --> 0:16:27.520 to mygh school. Just nobody talked about it. So it 0:16:27.560 --> 0:16:31.440 had been a thing apparently for maybe forever. It's just 0:16:31.560 --> 0:16:35.040 not something that made the news. Right, who's the attractive gallon? 0:16:35.200 --> 0:16:37.840 Was it Washington State who ended up marrying? I got 0:16:37.920 --> 0:16:40.520 married and stayed together a very long time. Yeah, kids, Yeah, yeah, 0:16:41.880 --> 0:16:45.200 but it's it's almost always somebody very attractive, and it's 0:16:45.240 --> 0:16:47.800 some sort of reliving your high school popularity thing. 0:16:47.880 --> 0:16:50.280 I don't know what's going on. So woman seeing her 0:16:50.320 --> 0:16:53.560 beauty vanish, desperately clinging to it her sexual power. 0:16:53.720 --> 0:16:57.880 Yeah, here's a substitute teacher who was going after a 0:16:58.000 --> 0:17:03.000 fourteen year old man. Seventeen's one thing, sixteen's one thing. 0:17:03.200 --> 0:17:07.480 Fourteen is really young. Anyway, she was sending naked snaps 0:17:07.520 --> 0:17:10.560 every time she showered. God, I want you so bad, 0:17:10.720 --> 0:17:14.399 she would say, gi Many, It's not fair. Something wrong 0:17:14.520 --> 0:17:17.040 with you, no kidding, Wow. 0:17:18.280 --> 0:17:18.880 This is new. 0:17:19.200 --> 0:17:24.480 Ukraine reportedly has struck one hundred and sixteen Russian vessels 0:17:24.960 --> 0:17:27.320 in the Sea of Azov over the past week and 0:17:27.359 --> 0:17:30.040 a half. Are the numbers that came out One Way 0:17:30.040 --> 0:17:33.760 attack drones. One hundred and sixteen Russian vessels. 0:17:34.080 --> 0:17:38.840 That's a lot between that and all the oil refineries 0:17:39.440 --> 0:17:42.680 and the fact that your lifespan as a Russian soldier 0:17:42.760 --> 0:17:45.439 when you hit the front is twenty minutes. Now, at 0:17:45.560 --> 0:17:48.760 some point, Putin's got to be thinking, is this a 0:17:48.800 --> 0:17:51.160 good idea? Should I keep doing this? And I don't 0:17:51.440 --> 0:17:54.159 mean to be inhumane comparing lives to money, but it 0:17:54.280 --> 0:17:56.080 reminds me of you know, the old saying, how'd you 0:17:56.160 --> 0:17:58.359 go broke? You know, a bit by bit then all 0:17:58.359 --> 0:18:01.240 of a sudden, that's how you run out of guys. 0:18:01.280 --> 0:18:04.200 And you have to like institute a widespread draft and 0:18:04.359 --> 0:18:07.240 that will not go overwhelmed. Rush is in trouble. Yeah, 0:18:07.320 --> 0:18:08.040 we had a lot on the way. 0:18:08.040 --> 0:18:09.840 If you missed the segment at the podcast I'm Strong 0:18:09.880 --> 0:18:11.960 and Getty on demand I'm. 0:18:11.840 --> 0:18:12.760 Strong and Getty. 0:18:14.119 --> 0:18:16.399 Part of our thesis here is that people do not 0:18:16.520 --> 0:18:20.239 want their candidates grown invests. They want people who are 0:18:20.320 --> 0:18:23.000 real human beings, and they want people who do not 0:18:23.200 --> 0:18:26.360 look and sound like the background people who've been leading 0:18:26.440 --> 0:18:30.840 this country off a cliff for last century. And that 0:18:31.000 --> 0:18:31.399 was Graham. 0:18:32.480 --> 0:18:38.119 Oh boy, oh boy, you know I just misplaced. I 0:18:38.240 --> 0:18:42.639 think Nelly Bowles of the Free Press hilarious description of 0:18:42.720 --> 0:18:46.720 his voice. That is Daniel Moraff part of the brain 0:18:46.920 --> 0:18:52.760 trust that recruited rapee Nazi, fake oysterman Graham Platner to 0:18:52.840 --> 0:18:55.360 run for the Senate in Maine. And he almost got 0:18:55.400 --> 0:18:57.720 away with it too, if it weren't for you kids. 0:18:59.480 --> 0:19:02.080 But so Moraf is half of this brain trust with 0:19:02.520 --> 0:19:06.359 Morris Katz. And boy, the story on who these guys 0:19:06.400 --> 0:19:09.720 are is coming out now, and it's so interesting because 0:19:09.760 --> 0:19:14.880 it's so typical. Cats became a bonafide Beltway celebrity when 0:19:14.920 --> 0:19:19.720 he helped Mumdannie get elected, and then he recruited Platner 0:19:19.880 --> 0:19:23.399 with Moraf to run in Maine. Made a slickly produced 0:19:23.480 --> 0:19:26.440 launch video of the unemployed business owner cause playing his 0:19:26.520 --> 0:19:30.320 working class every man. The New York Times wrote of 0:19:30.440 --> 0:19:33.040 Cats like mister mcdonnie mister Katz as a child of 0:19:33.080 --> 0:19:35.200 the New York cultural elite, but is fluent in the 0:19:35.240 --> 0:19:39.440 anti elite language of progressive populism. Populism, he's twenty six 0:19:39.560 --> 0:19:44.640 and ready to fix the Democrat strategy twenty six. Yeah, yeah, 0:19:44.800 --> 0:19:47.200 so you know he's the rich kid who says he 0:19:47.280 --> 0:19:51.680 hates capitalism, functioning societies, and any opponents of terrorism. His 0:19:51.840 --> 0:19:54.800 great grandfather made a fortune in hosiery, according to The 0:19:54.840 --> 0:19:58.080 New York Times, Hey, you know what, I don't care 0:19:58.119 --> 0:20:03.119 what I make of fortune in hosiery, light bulbs, kalmanre whatever. 0:20:03.960 --> 0:20:08.080 His grandfather, Harry J. Katz, was a notorious libertine described 0:20:08.080 --> 0:20:11.720 as the playboy Prince of Darkness. With a multimillion dollar 0:20:11.840 --> 0:20:14.199 trust fund. He claims to have slept with four thousand 0:20:14.280 --> 0:20:21.200 women and ranny. Yes what this is the grandfather? Yes wow, 0:20:22.080 --> 0:20:25.440 and ran a vanity publication whose poetry editor would go 0:20:25.520 --> 0:20:28.439 on to be known as the Unicorn Killer after murdering 0:20:28.480 --> 0:20:31.200 his ex girlfriend in nineteen seventy seven. That's quite the 0:20:31.280 --> 0:20:36.159 family lineage. Yeah so the younger cats. Morris Cat's father, 0:20:36.520 --> 0:20:39.840 David Barkatz, is an award winning playwright best known for 0:20:40.400 --> 0:20:46.400 finding Philip Seymour Hoffman's dead body. How interesting that trajectory 0:20:46.600 --> 0:20:56.480 from super successful, driven businessman to purve to playwright to 0:20:58.119 --> 0:21:03.159 fake Marxist, well, real Marxist, yes, rich kid, all right, 0:21:03.280 --> 0:21:07.960 so that but basically accomplishing nothing. Yeah, exactly. Oh I'm 0:21:07.960 --> 0:21:11.440 sorry I almost left out Kat's mother, Julie Murrberg, who's 0:21:11.480 --> 0:21:14.600 a prolific author of left wing picture books for preschool 0:21:14.640 --> 0:21:18.800 aged children. Popular titles include My First Book of Feminism, 0:21:19.440 --> 0:21:23.840 My First Book of Feminism for Boys, Diversity is a Superpower, 0:21:23.960 --> 0:21:29.879 and No, my first book of protest. Oh God, a toddlers, 0:21:30.040 --> 0:21:33.720 I would hate you. You are a long day because 0:21:34.359 --> 0:21:36.399 you can't wait till these kids get to kindergarten to 0:21:36.480 --> 0:21:41.920 start indoctrinating them. The book includes a footnote explaining that 0:21:42.040 --> 0:21:45.960 Katz's publisher rejected the author's idea of using quote images 0:21:46.040 --> 0:21:50.120 of my penis instead of cartoon drawings. Oh that's cats. Himself, 0:21:50.400 --> 0:21:52.680 he tried to follow in his mother's footsteps by writing 0:21:52.720 --> 0:21:56.920
