WEBVTT - Bacon, Nothing & Tomato 0:00:01.880 --> 0:00:06.200 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:06.240 --> 0:00:10.800 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty arm Strong 0:00:10.840 --> 0:00:17.600 and Jetty and know he Armstrong and Getty. 0:00:23.360 --> 0:00:26.320 Whether you are moving closer you believe the US is 0:00:26.360 --> 0:00:29.600 moving closer to striking Iranian nuclear facilities? 0:00:29.600 --> 0:00:30.720 Where's your mindset on that? 0:00:31.120 --> 0:00:33.600 Say that right? You don't seriously think I'm going to 0:00:33.640 --> 0:00:38.040 answer that question? Will you strike the Iranian nuclear component? 0:00:38.680 --> 0:00:39.839 And what time exactly? 0:00:39.880 --> 0:00:40.080 Sir? 0:00:40.920 --> 0:00:43.519 Sir? Would you strike it? Would you please inform it 0:00:43.640 --> 0:00:46.120 so we can be there and watch. I mean, you 0:00:46.159 --> 0:00:47.839 don't know that I'm going to even do it. You 0:00:47.880 --> 0:00:48.199 don't know. 0:00:48.240 --> 0:00:49.640 I may do it, I may not do it. 0:00:49.680 --> 0:00:51.159 I mean, nobody knows what I'm gonna do. 0:00:51.760 --> 0:00:55.280 A reasonably decent response, I think to what do you 0:00:55.280 --> 0:00:56.639 think I'm gonna tell you ahead of time? 0:00:56.680 --> 0:01:02.319 And what are we doing here? Yeah? Yeah, I mean 0:01:02.360 --> 0:01:05.480 traditionally that was I'm afraid I can't comment on that 0:01:05.560 --> 0:01:07.480 at this point. I left his answer better I do 0:01:07.600 --> 0:01:09.920 too serious? What am I going to tell you? What? Yeah, 0:01:09.959 --> 0:01:11.800 y'all tell you right away so you can be there 0:01:11.840 --> 0:01:12.360 and watch. 0:01:14.000 --> 0:01:17.399 So, if you follow any news, you've probably seen some 0:01:17.520 --> 0:01:21.039 clips of Ted Cruz being interviewed by Tucker Carlson. 0:01:22.480 --> 0:01:24.440 It's about two hours long. I watched the. 0:01:24.480 --> 0:01:29.160 Whole freaking thing, and except for a couple of spots, 0:01:29.160 --> 0:01:32.560 it wasn't hard to take in. It was a combination 0:01:32.640 --> 0:01:35.520 of interesting and entertaining. Let me see how many views 0:01:35.560 --> 0:01:38.760 it's got on it so far? Seven million views on 0:01:38.800 --> 0:01:41.480 his Twitter, and I know he gets multiples of that 0:01:41.600 --> 0:01:43.919 on his own website, where it's actually a little easier 0:01:43.959 --> 0:01:46.600 to watch, and I think YouTube has it also, so 0:01:46.640 --> 0:01:49.840 I don't know what the how many it'd be double 0:01:49.920 --> 0:01:53.240 digit millions. I'm sure it's over ten million people have 0:01:53.280 --> 0:02:02.200 watched it already. So Tucker Carlson has a style of 0:02:03.280 --> 0:02:08.040 arguing with people that is designed to make you insane, 0:02:09.840 --> 0:02:13.520 and some of that's on display here. Let's run through 0:02:13.560 --> 0:02:15.799 a little bit of Ted Cruz talking a Tucker. 0:02:16.120 --> 0:02:20.040 The reason is twofold number one is a Christian. Growing 0:02:20.120 --> 0:02:22.440 up in Sunday School, I was taught from the Bible 0:02:23.000 --> 0:02:25.440 those who bless Israel will be blessed, and those who 0:02:25.480 --> 0:02:29.160 curse Israel will be cursed. And from my perspective, I 0:02:29.200 --> 0:02:30.400 want to be on the blessing. 0:02:30.080 --> 0:02:33.200 Side of things, of those who bless the government of Israel. 0:02:33.280 --> 0:02:35.080 Those who bless Israel is what it says, doesn't say 0:02:35.120 --> 0:02:36.760 the government of it as the nation of Israel. 0:02:37.400 --> 0:02:40.400 So that's in the Bible. As a Christian, I believe that. 0:02:40.520 --> 0:02:41.120 Where is that? 0:02:41.720 --> 0:02:43.320 I can find it to you. I don't have the 0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:46.160 scripture off the tip of mine. You pull out the 0:02:46.160 --> 0:02:47.160 phone and use it. 0:02:47.160 --> 0:02:47.960 It's in Genesis. 0:02:48.000 --> 0:02:51.560 But so you're quoting a Bible phrase. You don't have 0:02:51.600 --> 0:02:53.120 context for it. You don't know where in the Bible it is. 0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:56.280 But that's like cri theology. I'm confused, what does that 0:02:56.360 --> 0:02:56.839 even mean? 0:02:57.400 --> 0:03:03.080 Perfect perfect example of Tucker's incredibly unfair. 0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:05.560 So that's your worldview. You don't know, you don't know 0:03:05.600 --> 0:03:06.960 where in the Bible that is. You don't you know 0:03:07.000 --> 0:03:08.359 which verse it is. But that's your. 0:03:08.200 --> 0:03:15.679 Worldview, no context. Oh the way, I thought that was 0:03:15.760 --> 0:03:18.560 fairly weak point by Ted Cruz. But yeah, yeah, yeah, 0:03:18.560 --> 0:03:22.680 I agree, certainly criticize that in other ways, good faith ways, 0:03:22.720 --> 0:03:26.560 But I agree. Let's roll on with that line, Tucker. 0:03:27.360 --> 0:03:30.080 I'm a Christian. I want to know what you're talking about. 0:03:30.720 --> 0:03:33.720 Does where does my support for Israel come from? Number one, 0:03:34.560 --> 0:03:37.000 Because Biblically we are commanded to support Israel. 0:03:37.080 --> 0:03:39.880 But number two, no, hold on. 0:03:39.920 --> 0:03:41.960 You're a senator and now you're throwing out theology, and 0:03:41.960 --> 0:03:43.320 I am a Christian, I am allowed to weigh in 0:03:43.360 --> 0:03:46.400 on this. We are commanded as Christians support the government 0:03:46.400 --> 0:03:49.200 of Israel. We are commanded to support Israel. And what 0:03:49.200 --> 0:03:51.840 does that mean? We're told those who bless Israel be blessed. 0:03:51.840 --> 0:03:53.160 But what hold on? Define Israel? 0:03:53.240 --> 0:03:53.920 This is important. 0:03:53.960 --> 0:03:56.400 Are you kidding this majority Christian. 0:03:56.240 --> 0:03:58.800 Country to define Israel? Do you not know what Israel is? 0:03:59.320 --> 0:04:01.280 That would be the kind you have asked like forty 0:04:01.320 --> 0:04:02.160 nine questions about. 0:04:02.200 --> 0:04:05.400 So that's what Genesis, that's what God is talking in 0:04:05.440 --> 0:04:07.640 the nation of Israel. Yes, and he's so does that 0:04:07.680 --> 0:04:09.840 the current borders the current leadership. He's talking with the 0:04:09.840 --> 0:04:12.800 political instanity called Israel. He's talking about the nation of Israel. 0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:15.520 Yet nations exists, and he's discussing a nation. A nation 0:04:15.760 --> 0:04:16.680 was the people of Israel. 0:04:16.680 --> 0:04:19.640 He's the nation in Genesis. 0:04:19.720 --> 0:04:21.760 Is that the same as the country run by Benjamin 0:04:21.760 --> 0:04:22.599 Netya who raised. 0:04:22.560 --> 0:04:23.600 Yes, yes it is. 0:04:23.920 --> 0:04:25.880 And by the way, it's not run by Benjamin Netya, 0:04:25.920 --> 0:04:26.640 who is a dictator. 0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:30.240 It's it's a democratic But he's the prime minister. 0:04:30.440 --> 0:04:33.719 Right, but just just like you know, America is the 0:04:33.720 --> 0:04:35.840 country run by Donald Trump, not actually the American people 0:04:35.880 --> 0:04:36.680 elected Donald Trump. 0:04:36.720 --> 0:04:38.600 The same principle of sicily. 0:04:38.600 --> 0:04:43.120 Plenty of unfair to go around, because I know, exhausting. 0:04:43.320 --> 0:04:49.200 I don't buy Ted Cruz's the Israel of Genesis can 0:04:49.240 --> 0:04:56.920 be transferred directly to the nation that we support sometimes 0:04:56.960 --> 0:04:59.400 note support sometimes I mean it seems. 0:04:59.080 --> 0:04:59.880 Like half elite. 0:04:59.880 --> 0:05:03.120 But you did say run by Benjamin Nett and Yahoo. 0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:06.159 And then when he says Benjamin, I didn't say it 0:05:06.160 --> 0:05:06.719 was a dictator. 0:05:06.760 --> 0:05:07.360 What of that? 0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:12.640 Right? He implies something unmistakably, then denies vehemently that he'd 0:05:12.960 --> 0:05:19.880 implied it a pox on both their houses. So far, well, so. 0:05:22.520 --> 0:05:27.600 The thing I took away mostly from it was, uh, Tucker, 0:05:27.680 --> 0:05:31.159 going back to a number of times, we have drug 0:05:31.160 --> 0:05:35.719 addicts dying in the streets, So why are we giving 0:05:35.760 --> 0:05:38.760 so much money to Ukraine and Israel? And I just 0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:42.120 do not understand that woke right point of view that 0:05:42.160 --> 0:05:46.280 they're connected in any way, or that what is our 0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:48.839 obligation to drug addicts dying in the street. 0:05:48.920 --> 0:05:52.000 I don't know. I don't even understand that. Well, there 0:05:52.040 --> 0:05:56.200 are multiple layers of not persuasive to that number one, 0:05:56.360 --> 0:06:01.960 it's just a plain false choice either support Ukraine or 0:06:02.040 --> 0:06:05.120 help drug addicts in the streets. It's a false choice. 0:06:05.480 --> 0:06:10.120 There are a thousand of million different programs, different priorities, 0:06:10.160 --> 0:06:12.919 different areas where waste, fraud, and abuse happened, that we 0:06:12.920 --> 0:06:16.640 could free up the money if we if we were 0:06:16.640 --> 0:06:21.039 motivated to. The second layer is you're making a really 0:06:21.040 --> 0:06:23.800 good point. It's what are you gonna do? What do 0:06:23.839 --> 0:06:25.680 you what do you so? Even if I accepted your 0:06:25.720 --> 0:06:28.120 false choice, what's your plan? What are you gonna use 0:06:28.120 --> 0:06:28.720 the money for? 0:06:28.880 --> 0:06:33.320 Yeah, it's we in California have thrown tens of billions 0:06:33.360 --> 0:06:35.560 of dollars at this and ended up with more drug 0:06:35.560 --> 0:06:36.440 addicts on the street. 0:06:37.520 --> 0:06:39.520 It just strikes me as an argument for dumb people. 0:06:40.200 --> 0:06:48.120 You want to emphasize domestic concerns over international concerns. That's 0:06:48.160 --> 0:06:50.880 that's fine. I get that that's a perfectly sound argument. 0:06:51.120 --> 0:06:54.760 But then or or a point of view, I happen 0:06:54.800 --> 0:06:57.679 to disagree with it for reasons that we've stated many times. 0:06:59.040 --> 0:07:00.960 You know, I'm reminded the old saying you might not 0:07:01.000 --> 0:07:03.960 be interested in politics, but believe me, politics is interested 0:07:04.000 --> 0:07:06.320 in you. You might not be interested in the rest 0:07:06.360 --> 0:07:08.640 of the world. But believe me, they're interested in us 0:07:10.160 --> 0:07:13.040 and our stuff and our freedom of navigation and our 0:07:13.120 --> 0:07:15.320 trade and the rest of it, in our land and 0:07:15.320 --> 0:07:23.000 our resources. And so I just what do you suggest, Well, 0:07:23.040 --> 0:07:24.800 it's just it's a false choice and it's silly. 0:07:26.400 --> 0:07:28.920 We played this one earlier, but it is so freaking 0:07:28.960 --> 0:07:31.360 good and it contains one of my favorite phrases that 0:07:31.360 --> 0:07:32.960 I'll probably use the rest of my life. 0:07:34.040 --> 0:07:35.160 They were discussing. 0:07:35.760 --> 0:07:40.360 Tucker was accusing Ted Cruz of taking money from a 0:07:40.480 --> 0:07:45.480 variety of lobby groups that lobby on behalf of Israel, 0:07:46.000 --> 0:07:48.400 and so then saying Ted Cruise is in the pocket 0:07:48.400 --> 0:07:49.760 of Israel and does their bidding. 0:07:49.560 --> 0:07:51.240 And that sort of thing. That's where we are on this. 0:07:52.360 --> 0:07:55.200 It's just interesting because what you're now describing in a 0:07:55.320 --> 0:07:58.720 very defensive way, I will say, is foreign influence over 0:07:58.760 --> 0:08:02.360 our politics. Now, and you began and it's so transparently 0:08:02.400 --> 0:08:05.000 obvious to everybody. I don't know why you would be embarrassed, 0:08:05.000 --> 0:08:06.679 but you've said that you are sincerely for Israel. 0:08:06.720 --> 0:08:07.280 I believe you. 0:08:07.280 --> 0:08:09.200 I don't think you have some weird agenda you seem 0:08:09.280 --> 0:08:10.680 to by the. 0:08:10.680 --> 0:08:16.960 Way, Tucker, it's a very weird thing, the obsession with Israel. Well, 0:08:16.960 --> 0:08:19.920 we're talking about for it. You're not talking about Chinese, 0:08:19.960 --> 0:08:22.080 you're not talking about Japanese, you're not talking about the Brits, 0:08:22.080 --> 0:08:23.080 you're not talking about the French. 0:08:23.120 --> 0:08:25.239 The question what about the Jews? What about the Jews? 0:08:25.360 --> 0:08:26.840 Like I'm anti semi now. 0:08:26.920 --> 0:08:28.840 Senator, you're just in the JEWETU Tucker. 0:08:29.440 --> 0:08:32.920 You're asking why are the Jews controlling our foreign polity? 0:08:33.000 --> 0:08:35.240 That's what you just asked, hardly saying that, and I 0:08:35.280 --> 0:08:37.400 have that that's exactly what you just said. Well, actually, 0:08:37.480 --> 0:08:39.040 I can speak for myself and tell you what I 0:08:39.080 --> 0:08:41.760 am said on behalf, not simply of myself, but on 0:08:41.880 --> 0:08:44.280 my many Jewish friends who would have the same questions, 0:08:44.640 --> 0:08:47.439 which is to what extent? And it's interesting you're trying 0:08:47.480 --> 0:08:49.480 to derail my questions by following me an anti semi, 0:08:49.520 --> 0:08:50.040 which you are. 0:08:50.160 --> 0:08:51.960 I did not, of course you are, and. 0:08:52.120 --> 0:08:54.120 And rather than be honorable enough to say it right 0:08:54.160 --> 0:08:58.360 to my face, I are city squeezy feline way implying it. Well, 0:08:58.440 --> 0:09:01.160 just asking questions about the Jews, I'm not questions about 0:09:01.160 --> 0:09:01.640 the Jews. 0:09:02.120 --> 0:09:04.760 I have. There's nothing to do with Jews or Judis 0:09:04.760 --> 0:09:06.079 when it has to a foreign government. 0:09:06.080 --> 0:09:08.560 He is an Israel controlling our foreign policy. That's not 0:09:08.559 --> 0:09:09.679 about the you said. 0:09:09.840 --> 0:09:11.280 I'm asked. By the way, you're the one. 0:09:11.120 --> 0:09:13.120 That just called me I think a sleezy felie. 0:09:15.160 --> 0:09:19.439 And that happens really early in the two hour discussion, 0:09:19.800 --> 0:09:23.079 so they both bring up the other person's insults regularly 0:09:23.160 --> 0:09:25.280 through the call. You keep calling me and in I 0:09:25.320 --> 0:09:29.160 saim I, no, I didn't you called me a sleezy feline. 0:09:29.600 --> 0:09:34.680 Yeah. I feel like I'm overhearing like a really bitter, 0:09:35.320 --> 0:09:37.840 stupid argument, like it's a food court at a mall 0:09:38.040 --> 0:09:41.040 or something. And I keep thinking, all right, I gotta go. 0:09:41.440 --> 0:09:44.440 I can't keep listening to this. Maybe just maybe thirty 0:09:44.520 --> 0:09:45.120 more seconds. 0:09:45.320 --> 0:09:48.520 There was some reason Ted Cruz was willing to engage 0:09:48.520 --> 0:09:51.120 in this for two hours though. It's a lot to 0:09:51.160 --> 0:09:53.480 commit to an interview, and he had to keep saying 0:09:53.520 --> 0:09:57.280 to Tucker, look, can you be a little less condescending? 0:09:58.600 --> 0:10:01.600 Could you be a little less snarky with everything I say? 0:10:01.960 --> 0:10:05.040 You know, I wish we had some examples to continue 0:10:05.080 --> 0:10:08.040 to sit there. Well, it was usually when Tucker would 0:10:08.120 --> 0:10:11.640 just make noises, you know, like right, you. 0:10:11.559 --> 0:10:14.000 Know that sort of stuff, and say, do you need 0:10:14.040 --> 0:10:16.520 to be so snarky. Yeah, I'm here. 0:10:16.720 --> 0:10:18.440 I'm willing to talk about this as long as you 0:10:18.480 --> 0:10:19.720 want and discuss the issues. 0:10:19.960 --> 0:10:22.199 But I think. 0:10:23.440 --> 0:10:25.720 I think Ted Cruz, and I mean I'm not being 0:10:27.200 --> 0:10:31.520 crass about this. I think he actually sees the division 0:10:31.520 --> 0:10:34.000 in the Republican Party. He's probably going to run for 0:10:34.040 --> 0:10:36.600 president against JD. Vance and try to get the nomination. 0:10:36.920 --> 0:10:40.040 He finished second to Trump when he ran in sixteen. 0:10:40.320 --> 0:10:42.560 I mean, he was the last man standing other than Trump. 0:10:43.520 --> 0:10:45.360 I think he wants to continue to be able to 0:10:45.360 --> 0:10:49.120 reach that Tucker crowd, maybe the JD. Vance crowd, while 0:10:49.679 --> 0:10:53.760 bringing along whoever else to get the nomination. That's the 0:10:53.760 --> 0:10:55.840 only reason I can think that he would put up 0:10:55.880 --> 0:10:58.840 with the snarkiness and the condensation for two hours. 0:11:04.080 --> 0:11:07.680 Did did it get to substance in a satisfying way? 0:11:08.280 --> 0:11:11.520 At times? I mean, because what's frustrating to me and 0:11:11.559 --> 0:11:13.800 listening to these clips is that they will touch on 0:11:13.840 --> 0:11:20.440 an interesting point, but one or both of them, mostly Tucker, 0:11:20.520 --> 0:11:24.199 but both of them will not. They will try to 0:11:24.200 --> 0:11:27.600 score rhetorical points as opposed to saying, Okay, if I 0:11:27.640 --> 0:11:30.760 hear you correctly, you're advocating this. Here's why where I 0:11:30.760 --> 0:11:36.040 think you're wrong. Well, it's just sword play between the 0:11:36.040 --> 0:11:37.520 two a couple of guys. That's not cool. 0:11:39.880 --> 0:11:43.280 I went into it leaning toward Ted Cruz anyway, and 0:11:43.320 --> 0:11:46.080 I don't I definitely don't always agree with Ted Cruz. 0:11:46.440 --> 0:11:50.160 When he first came on the scene, read from his book, 0:11:50.440 --> 0:11:53.520 thought it was fantastic, but then he got corrupted by 0:11:54.520 --> 0:11:58.440 you know, DC and everything that happens where you got 0:11:58.480 --> 0:12:00.079 to start playing the game to stay in office, and 0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:01.600 he's done all kinds of things that I hate. 0:12:02.080 --> 0:12:04.040 But I was on his side going into this interview. 0:12:04.040 --> 0:12:07.640 So and it felt to me like any attempt to 0:12:07.720 --> 0:12:09.760 get to any substance. 0:12:09.360 --> 0:12:13.240 Always got derailed by Tucker. Tucker is the greatest at 0:12:13.400 --> 0:12:17.520 baiting you into tangents on things, and then you're arguing 0:12:17.520 --> 0:12:20.800 about the tangent, right, He's like, you know, getting back 0:12:20.800 --> 0:12:24.760 to the sword fighting a metaphor and I mean that literally. Uh. 0:12:25.080 --> 0:12:30.000 He senses when you are at all a rhetorical threat 0:12:30.040 --> 0:12:33.600 to you, and that's when he employs his various trickery. 0:12:33.760 --> 0:12:38.480 What do you mean by threat if you're just threatening me? 0:12:38.720 --> 0:12:41.880 Is that what you're doing is what you're doing threat? Well, 0:12:41.920 --> 0:12:44.319 you just said threat, would you like to rewind the tape. 0:12:44.440 --> 0:12:46.319 And by the way, why are you being so defensive? 0:12:46.760 --> 0:12:49.200 All of a sudden, You've gotten very, very defensive, And 0:12:49.280 --> 0:12:52.400 I just wonder I must have hit a hot spot 0:12:52.440 --> 0:12:54.280 with you or something to be so defensive and then 0:12:54.320 --> 0:12:58.640 to threaten me. You're a graduate of the Tucker Carlson 0:12:58.720 --> 0:13:02.760 school of bullying. He's really skillful, all of them. I 0:13:02.880 --> 0:13:04.440 was just I was taking all that in and thinking 0:13:04.480 --> 0:13:06.520 this would be so easy to do, and so then 0:13:06.600 --> 0:13:09.040 right there, you'd be defending yourself for the next five minutes. 0:13:09.080 --> 0:13:12.360 I didn't threaten you, you just did. I think we 0:13:12.400 --> 0:13:16.040 all heard it. We all heard you threaten me well, 0:13:16.040 --> 0:13:17.880 and not only that, I don't even remember what we 0:13:17.920 --> 0:13:24.480 were talking. Yes, exactly, yes, wow, he is so good 0:13:24.480 --> 0:13:28.400 at that. Well done. And then he constantly why are 0:13:28.400 --> 0:13:31.120 you getting so defensive? I'm just I'm just I'm curious. 0:13:31.160 --> 0:13:35.720 I'm just because you're attacking me over and over again. Dull. 0:13:36.040 --> 0:13:38.239 He just called I think a sleazy feline. 0:13:38.720 --> 0:13:41.559 Right, Oh my god, it'd be easy to do. If 0:13:41.559 --> 0:13:43.240 you want to make enemies for life. 0:13:43.559 --> 0:13:45.920 It would be very easy to engage in conversations like 0:13:45.960 --> 0:13:46.920 that with your friends. 0:13:46.920 --> 0:13:48.920 In years since you've been punched in the face, and 0:13:48.960 --> 0:13:52.760 you think that might be enjoyable. Right, more on the way, 0:13:53.160 --> 0:13:57.400 are you like Tucker? You stay here? 0:13:59.440 --> 0:14:01.000 I was looking at the text line. A number of 0:14:01.040 --> 0:14:04.440 people really enjoyed my Tucker Carlson impersonation. It's very easy 0:14:04.480 --> 0:14:06.720 to do. You just pick a word or a phrase, 0:14:07.080 --> 0:14:09.760 you take it out of context, you try to put 0:14:09.760 --> 0:14:14.480 them on the defensive, and you get really really quiet 0:14:14.520 --> 0:14:18.000 and contemplative while they get madder and madder and. 0:14:18.080 --> 0:14:22.240 Hop from angled angled, angle right right, so nobody can 0:14:22.280 --> 0:14:25.760 follow what you're even talking about, and then you laugh 0:14:25.920 --> 0:14:30.520 like that. So on a related topic, we got an email, 0:14:30.800 --> 0:14:34.440 a number of emails about the decision whether to join 0:14:34.760 --> 0:14:37.760 Israel in attacking Aroun's nuclear program. That sort of thing, 0:14:37.800 --> 0:14:40.280 including justin the truck driver got a lot of attention, 0:14:40.360 --> 0:14:43.560 had a handful of emails in reaction to that, including 0:14:43.560 --> 0:14:46.560 this from Frank now Our two yesterday he aired an 0:14:46.600 --> 0:14:49.600 anti Semitic and ageist screed from a listener. I know 0:14:49.640 --> 0:14:51.800 you aired it in an effort to demonstrate you listen 0:14:51.800 --> 0:14:54.400 to a variety of points of view, which is not 0:14:54.440 --> 0:14:56.760 a bad thing to do. Well, that's only part of 0:14:56.800 --> 0:14:59.360 the reason we read it. It was also partly just 0:14:59.400 --> 0:15:01.960 to let you or that point of view to know 0:15:02.000 --> 0:15:04.440 what we're dealing with. But in this case, I think 0:15:04.480 --> 0:15:07.120 you went too far. His Odie's views, totally void of 0:15:07.160 --> 0:15:10.560 logic and historical context and informed by hatred, did not 0:15:10.680 --> 0:15:14.640 deserve your platform. Thank you for your input. Frank Justin, 0:15:14.720 --> 0:15:18.200 the truck driver from Sacramento responds in a way with 0:15:18.240 --> 0:15:23.120 a follow up wisdom of under thirty people explained because 0:15:23.120 --> 0:15:26.320 they know better than older people. The Internet, for all 0:15:26.320 --> 0:15:28.600 its problems, has done one thing very well, open up 0:15:28.600 --> 0:15:32.440 the marketplace of ideas. Previously taboo subjects like Zionism and 0:15:32.520 --> 0:15:36.440 Jewish power are openly discussed. Boomers and younger Gen xers 0:15:36.440 --> 0:15:39.840 are reflexively allergic to this topic and instantly becomes snowflakes, 0:15:40.040 --> 0:15:43.320 calling anyone who talks about this subject hateful, anti Semitic, 0:15:43.480 --> 0:15:45.840 and Nazis. And then he goes on for a couple 0:15:45.840 --> 0:15:48.560 of paragraphs explaining how the Jews seek to control the other, 0:15:48.760 --> 0:15:53.000 the entire earth and actually hate Christians in the United States. Oh, 0:15:53.280 --> 0:15:55.760 if that's not what anti Semitic is, I'm not sure 0:15:55.760 --> 0:15:56.600 what the term means. 0:15:57.160 --> 0:15:59.560 I got this ze guy complaining about us yesterday kept 0:15:59.560 --> 0:16:00.320 calling this bomers. 0:16:00.400 --> 0:16:05.360 We are gen xers. Yes, proudly so, Robin Beautiful Kentucky writes, 0:16:06.000 --> 0:16:08.520 Justin asserts that men under thirty have a clearer understanding 0:16:08.560 --> 0:16:10.840 the boomer. Then Boomer's an older gen x of the 0:16:10.840 --> 0:16:14.080 state which the world currently finds it Selfie then goes 0:16:14.120 --> 0:16:16.840 on unto subtly to doubt what I consider the basis 0:16:16.840 --> 0:16:19.960 of most deep state and puppet master conspiracy theories, the 0:16:20.080 --> 0:16:23.040 protocols of the Elders of Zion, the fake document of 0:16:23.080 --> 0:16:25.080 the supposed Jewish plot to take over the world. And 0:16:25.080 --> 0:16:26.760 I would say that he's right in that people, not 0:16:26.840 --> 0:16:29.840 just men under thirty, are more susceptible to such nonsense 0:16:30.080 --> 0:16:32.880 because they're raised with the Internet, which makes such garbage 0:16:32.920 --> 0:16:36.080 easily available to the weak minded. Before the Internet, one 0:16:36.080 --> 0:16:39.280 would actually have to seek out such information. But now, 0:16:39.320 --> 0:16:40.880 with just a couple of clicks, you can sit in 0:16:40.880 --> 0:16:43.120 front of a screen and have all the twaddle you 0:16:43.120 --> 0:16:46.200 want fed directly to you. It's truly sad that these 0:16:46.200 --> 0:16:48.560 people think of themselves as being open minded or in 0:16:48.600 --> 0:16:51.440 the know, when reality they're just tools for content creators 0:16:51.560 --> 0:16:54.840 to get clicks. Woo twattle. 0:16:54.920 --> 0:16:58.320 I say, here's a little breaking news if it's true, 0:16:58.320 --> 0:17:01.600 CNN says Steve Bannet was seen walking into the White 0:17:01.600 --> 0:17:06.199 House this morning. Who would be talking to Steve Bannon. 0:17:06.520 --> 0:17:10.800 It's almost gotta be Trump, right, Probably he wants the 0:17:10.880 --> 0:17:13.040 Bannon point of view on all this. If he takes 0:17:13.080 --> 0:17:15.879 the Bannon point of view, we ain't bombing might be 0:17:15.920 --> 0:17:16.639 the opposite. 0:17:16.840 --> 0:17:19.480 Stay tuned, Armstrong and Getty. 0:17:20.600 --> 0:17:23.000 I'm asking about your allegation in the Prime Minister of 0:17:23.080 --> 0:17:24.280 Israel's allegation that. 0:17:28.280 --> 0:17:30.880 Killing terrorists is a good thing. Killing people are trying 0:17:30.880 --> 0:17:33.199 to murder Americans is a good thing because if you're 0:17:33.240 --> 0:17:37.679 America first, you want to protect Americans. So taking up 0:17:37.840 --> 0:17:41.200 killing O'samovan Laden was a fantastic But you don't believe 0:17:41.240 --> 0:17:42.359 that they're trying to murder Trump? 0:17:42.400 --> 0:17:44.600 Or yes't it? Yes? But why aren't you calling for 0:17:44.680 --> 0:17:46.280 military action against Tehran right now? 0:17:46.320 --> 0:17:48.840 Because they're not very effective in terms of hitmen. They're hitmen, 0:17:48.840 --> 0:17:50.800 are not very effective, I do think so. 0:17:50.840 --> 0:17:53.120 They're hitman, but not the bad kind, the efficient cond 0:17:53.480 --> 0:17:54.480 What they're saying. 0:17:54.280 --> 0:17:56.560 That they're a weak country who is on its knees, 0:17:56.600 --> 0:17:57.600 and I think we need. 0:17:57.400 --> 0:17:58.719 To and why are we so afraid of them? Why 0:17:58.720 --> 0:18:00.560 are they the biggest threat if they're a week tree that's. 0:18:00.440 --> 0:18:02.840 On sneeze because they're trying trying to keep track, they're 0:18:02.880 --> 0:18:08.119 trying to develop. Be a little less snarky. I know 0:18:08.160 --> 0:18:11.440 you're right, that is a problem that I have. I'm sorry. 0:18:12.800 --> 0:18:18.880 Katie your response. He's just such a dick He's good 0:18:18.920 --> 0:18:19.680 at it. 0:18:19.880 --> 0:18:22.120 Ted did a good job of staying pretty calm through 0:18:22.119 --> 0:18:22.640 the whole thing. 0:18:24.480 --> 0:18:29.679 That is world class dickery right there. I mean, I 0:18:29.680 --> 0:18:30.080 thought it. 0:18:30.040 --> 0:18:34.680 Was a decent point Tucker was making. So it got 0:18:34.680 --> 0:18:37.280 into the hole and net Yahoo the other day saying 0:18:40.840 --> 0:18:45.280 Iran was behind two assassination attempts on Donald Trump. And 0:18:45.560 --> 0:18:49.399 when I heard that, I thought, what, No, they weren't. 0:18:50.920 --> 0:18:53.520 And then he kind of fudged it a little when 0:18:53.520 --> 0:18:56.000 he was asked about that Iran has been trying to 0:18:56.080 --> 0:18:59.239 kill Don Trump. That is true and is known, but 0:18:59.440 --> 0:19:01.639 they weren't find those two attacks. 0:19:02.160 --> 0:19:05.080 But so I heard that exchange. Yeah, net Yao, who 0:19:05.160 --> 0:19:08.840 was trying to hint darkly but it didn't happen, didn't 0:19:08.840 --> 0:19:09.080 come on. 0:19:09.200 --> 0:19:11.879 But then so Ted Cruz and Tucker got into that 0:19:12.000 --> 0:19:15.479 conversation and Ted crew said, yes, it's well known Iran 0:19:15.640 --> 0:19:18.120 is trying to kill the president of the United States 0:19:18.720 --> 0:19:21.560 and has you know, has sent people over probably in 0:19:21.600 --> 0:19:24.120 the United States. And Tucker's thing was, if they're trying 0:19:24.160 --> 0:19:26.080 to kill the president the United States and we know that, 0:19:26.240 --> 0:19:28.480 why aren't we bombing them already? I mean, you talk 0:19:28.480 --> 0:19:30.480 about an act of war, you're trying to kill the 0:19:30.480 --> 0:19:31.439 president of the United States. 0:19:31.520 --> 0:19:35.960 So that that's what that whole conversation was about. Right, Yeah, 0:19:36.080 --> 0:19:39.159 fair enough, But again, no, I'm not even going to 0:19:39.240 --> 0:19:41.720 engage in his bad faith arguments, so waste of time. 0:19:42.080 --> 0:19:44.080 Could you be a little less snarky? He said, yeah, 0:19:44.119 --> 0:19:48.159 you're right, I probably. Yeah. That was an utterly insincere 0:19:48.400 --> 0:19:53.040 apology too. It was it was more sarcasm, more snark obnoxious. 0:19:53.760 --> 0:19:56.920 So you were, as we went to break the last segment, 0:19:57.240 --> 0:20:01.040 concerned that, Yeah, so Bannon's a trip to the White 0:20:01.040 --> 0:20:03.080 House might portend what two interesting things. 0:20:03.119 --> 0:20:06.280 So Tucker mentions in his two hour long interview with 0:20:06.320 --> 0:20:08.480 Ted Cruz that I listened to the whole thing of they 0:20:08.480 --> 0:20:11.160 got into who likes Trump the most? And Tucker said, 0:20:11.160 --> 0:20:13.000 I talked to him last night for a long time, 0:20:13.040 --> 0:20:15.719 and I thought, wow, that's interesting. So that was Monday 0:20:15.760 --> 0:20:18.680 or Tuesday night. He was on the phone with Trump, 0:20:18.760 --> 0:20:23.240
