WEBVTT - Good Luck! 0:00:09.440 --> 0:00:13.680 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:13.800 --> 0:00:17.200 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joke. 0:00:17.160 --> 0:00:32.240 Kaddy Armstrong and Jackie and Key arms Range, thank you. 0:00:32.280 --> 0:00:37.080 This is my favorite comment, my favorite jokey comment on Twitter. 0:00:37.440 --> 0:00:40.120 I can't believe the United States is about to invade Gaza, 0:00:40.320 --> 0:00:43.280 but our government has zero dollars to put any transgender 0:00:43.400 --> 0:00:45.160 musicals there. 0:00:46.560 --> 0:00:51.880 That's hilarious. Wow, love, that's good. I know, live from 0:00:52.000 --> 0:00:56.000 studio scene, see save your dimly lit room be put 0:00:56.080 --> 0:00:59.040 in the bowels of the Armstrong in getting communications compounds, 0:00:59.160 --> 0:01:01.720 they were in the two ledge our general manager Cooh, 0:01:01.800 --> 0:01:05.720 my real estate agent. We are this close to getting 0:01:05.800 --> 0:01:09.440 me a beautiful beach front estate in Gaza, and I'm 0:01:09.680 --> 0:01:14.920 really excited about it. Wow. Just beautiful views and everything. 0:01:14.959 --> 0:01:17.520 There's a bit of a rubble we're just working through. 0:01:17.520 --> 0:01:20.960 Who's going to clear the rubble? But it is exciting. 0:01:21.560 --> 0:01:22.399 Here's my favorite. 0:01:22.600 --> 0:01:24.080 I don't even know who this person is, but here's 0:01:24.080 --> 0:01:26.240 my favorite comment that I can't believe is not. 0:01:26.720 --> 0:01:30.560 Before we go much further, there probably are people who 0:01:30.600 --> 0:01:32.600 had busy evenings, they have lives. 0:01:32.680 --> 0:01:34.680 You're listening to it and you haven't heard I can't. 0:01:34.680 --> 0:01:36.440 I don't have time for people like you. You've got 0:01:36.440 --> 0:01:38.039 to stay in two. You got to stay plugged in. 0:01:38.480 --> 0:01:39.959 Stay plugged in people. You need to be on your 0:01:40.000 --> 0:01:42.360 phone all the time. You need to sleep with your 0:01:42.360 --> 0:01:44.320 phone in your hand. Maybe set your alarm, wake up 0:01:44.319 --> 0:01:46.679 every hour and check what the latest Twitter threat is. 0:01:46.920 --> 0:01:51.120 Go to trending, folks. He's insane, he's a monster. Imagine 0:01:51.120 --> 0:01:54.520 working with him. See if you can pick up from 0:01:54.560 --> 0:01:58.360 the context what we're talking about. If you don't know yet, 0:01:58.520 --> 0:01:59.880 it'll be fun to play along it. 0:02:00.480 --> 0:02:03.720 So I like this, and I'm amazed that this isn't happening, 0:02:03.880 --> 0:02:08.200 having watched Fox this morning where they're chuckling NonStop, and 0:02:08.240 --> 0:02:12.440 watching MSNBC where they're practically crying. I mean, we're back 0:02:12.480 --> 0:02:15.920 to the old days of you take him literally but 0:02:15.960 --> 0:02:18.320 not seriously, or seriously but not literally. I mean, we're 0:02:18.320 --> 0:02:20.280 one hundred percent there. But anyway, this person I don't 0:02:20.280 --> 0:02:21.799 know who they are, but I thought this was really good. 0:02:22.919 --> 0:02:26.120 I generally don't understand how you don't all understand this yet. 0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:30.280 He makes an enormous ask or takes an enormous shocking position, 0:02:30.720 --> 0:02:33.720 the negotiates down to a moderate total victory. Gets everything 0:02:33.720 --> 0:02:36.000 he wants and keeps doing it, and everybody keeps freaking out. 0:02:36.320 --> 0:02:38.480 I'm assuming we'll find out what the Gaza things all 0:02:38.480 --> 0:02:40.840 about in the next twenty four hours or so. Reacting 0:02:40.880 --> 0:02:42.720 to the first gesture and some kind of deal we 0:02:42.760 --> 0:02:46.000 clearly know nothing about, would be pretty silly. Given this 0:02:46.080 --> 0:02:49.320 is like our fifth or sixth rodeo since last Monday. 0:02:51.200 --> 0:02:54.840 That's well crafted. Yeah, this is our fifth or sixth 0:02:54.919 --> 0:03:00.160 rodeo since last Monday. Is exactly right the present and 0:03:00.280 --> 0:03:02.919 having in an offhand manner at a press conference said 0:03:02.919 --> 0:03:04.880 we ought to take over the Gaza Strip, us ought 0:03:04.880 --> 0:03:08.720 to run the place. Everybody's freaking out in the manner 0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:12.080 described here's my prediction. And I will bet you remember 0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:14.359 how I bet my thumbs to Ian Bremmer in one 0:03:15.040 --> 0:03:17.800 but he did not. I can't remember what he was 0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:20.919 going to pay off and he never did. The chiseler. Anyway, 0:03:21.480 --> 0:03:27.080 I will bet my left arm that in roughly five 0:03:27.160 --> 0:03:30.760 years it'll go something like this. This is a reverse Gladys, 0:03:30.840 --> 0:03:34.040 this is into the future. Hey, you remember when Trump 0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:39.400 said that we ought to like take over the Gaza Strip. Oh, right, 0:03:39.560 --> 0:03:43.200 at the press conference. That's right, hilarious. 0:03:44.080 --> 0:03:46.520 Well, I commented on this one at the time. This 0:03:46.680 --> 0:03:49.120 was back when he was running. In twenty fifteen, he 0:03:49.160 --> 0:03:52.360 made an announcement at one of his stops to boycott Apple, 0:03:53.640 --> 0:03:56.000 which at that point was the most valuable company in 0:03:56.040 --> 0:03:59.040 the world, obviously an American company, and he said, We're 0:03:59.080 --> 0:04:02.360 going to buy everyone, to boycott Apple. It barely made 0:04:02.400 --> 0:04:04.720 the news. It was never mentioned again. I mean, that 0:04:04.760 --> 0:04:07.200 would be an enormous deal, obviously. 0:04:07.640 --> 0:04:08.160 Oh shock. 0:04:08.320 --> 0:04:10.800 You go back years earlier, the candidate for one of 0:04:10.800 --> 0:04:14.240 the major parties announcing that. You know, if Carter had 0:04:14.280 --> 0:04:17.680 said boycott GM I want all Democrats, that would have 0:04:17.680 --> 0:04:19.160 been the biggest news story in America. 0:04:19.680 --> 0:04:23.640 Oh yeah, yeah. And to make grand pronouncements like this 0:04:23.760 --> 0:04:28.080 is so strange, and so I'll just say a typical 0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:31.120 of any other president. On the other hand, I've been 0:04:31.120 --> 0:04:33.520 doing a bit of reading about the Panama Canal situation 0:04:34.400 --> 0:04:38.520 and the idea that we're going to retake the canal 0:04:38.720 --> 0:04:44.159 if necessary by force. It's just a crazy thing to 0:04:44.200 --> 0:04:47.599 say in the context of like every other president. But 0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:51.360 there are serious issues about Chinese incursion into places and 0:04:51.920 --> 0:04:54.480 things where they could have shut down the canal, they 0:04:54.520 --> 0:04:56.919 could run the canal, and the way it kind of 0:04:56.960 --> 0:04:58.960 got there inch by inch by inch. I mean, it's 0:04:58.960 --> 0:05:01.520 the boiling frog in terms of the Chinese control of 0:05:01.560 --> 0:05:04.400 the canal, and it was to a point that was 0:05:04.480 --> 0:05:08.400 completely unacceptable. And you know, the more I learn about it, 0:05:08.400 --> 0:05:12.599 the more I'm convinced of that. And Trump went in 0:05:12.640 --> 0:05:14.280 with his big We're just going to take it over, 0:05:14.440 --> 0:05:17.400 and even I said that would be like a decade 0:05:17.440 --> 0:05:20.520 long guerrilla war. We don't want that. But no, he's 0:05:20.600 --> 0:05:23.320 just making the point very very strongly to the Panamanians. Hey, look, 0:05:23.320 --> 0:05:25.640 this has gone way too far. We need to talk seriously, 0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:28.600 and we did, and it's moving in a great direction. 0:05:29.600 --> 0:05:34.520 So uh, I was reading my favorite political newsletter today 0:05:34.520 --> 0:05:38.360 in which she pointed out that Trump made all kinds 0:05:38.400 --> 0:05:41.640 of news yesterday other than this that is getting obliterated. 0:05:41.920 --> 0:05:44.400 He did his thing where he signs executive orders and 0:05:44.440 --> 0:05:47.080 takes questions and just rambles while he does it and 0:05:47.120 --> 0:05:50.520 says things, and as the newsletter said, he answered more 0:05:50.600 --> 0:05:54.360 questions yesterday than Joe Biden did in six months. 0:05:55.920 --> 0:05:58.600 It's no credit for that. But he mentioned that. 0:06:00.279 --> 0:06:03.599 He has a standing order that he signed that if 0:06:03.960 --> 0:06:07.280 he is assassinated by Iran, we will obliterate the country. 0:06:07.880 --> 0:06:13.760 Yes, I think that'd make the news. I mean, that's 0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:15.520 kind of a thing to say. It might be the 0:06:15.720 --> 0:06:21.479 Trump post mortem dead hand eating it's he's known. Yeah, yes, yeah, 0:06:22.839 --> 0:06:26.600 I know I reacted to that, right. You react to 0:06:26.640 --> 0:06:30.599 it initially with your uh normal president, Oh my god? 0:06:30.720 --> 0:06:34.200 What then you're oh, that's right? Is Trump okay? All right? Yeah, 0:06:34.240 --> 0:06:36.960 I get it anyway, So he's just trying to tell 0:06:37.000 --> 0:06:39.240 him it would be a very very bad idea. Right. 0:06:40.360 --> 0:06:41.839 So what do you think of the whole. 0:06:42.640 --> 0:06:47.680 Uh mainstream media freaking out about all these things. 0:06:48.360 --> 0:06:50.520 I think it's genuine to a certain extent. 0:06:50.560 --> 0:06:52.680 There's also you know, they're trying to get ratings, and 0:06:52.760 --> 0:06:55.280 their viewers want to freak out. They want to get 0:06:55.360 --> 0:06:58.000 up every day and say, oh my god, what did 0:06:58.040 --> 0:07:00.400 he do today? I know I personally have no people 0:07:00.480 --> 0:07:04.080 like that. First first Trump term. That was like, they 0:07:04.080 --> 0:07:05.320 get up every day, what did he do? 0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:07.640 Now? It was just part of their life. It gave 0:07:07.680 --> 0:07:12.240 him energy. Yeah, absolutely true. Yeah, it reinforced their tribal 0:07:12.280 --> 0:07:16.600 loyalties and enthusiasms. So the media complained to that, but 0:07:16.880 --> 0:07:21.120 they seem to be completely serious about it. Yeah, they do. 0:07:21.240 --> 0:07:24.600 I think partly we're gonna have a US troops in 0:07:24.760 --> 0:07:29.360 Gaza holding that land. Not a freaking chance. Probably right 0:07:29.400 --> 0:07:31.160 after the Super Bowl, but they talked about it for 0:07:31.200 --> 0:07:34.280 a full half hour on the MSNBC show. 0:07:34.280 --> 0:07:36.040 I was watching last night what it would be like 0:07:36.080 --> 0:07:38.280 having troops there and how difficult that would be, And. 0:07:38.760 --> 0:07:41.760 What are you talking about? He is the only thing 0:07:41.920 --> 0:07:44.600 keeping those stations alive. I suppose I should throw this in. 0:07:44.720 --> 0:07:47.360 On the other hand, I suppose it's not crazy if 0:07:47.360 --> 0:07:49.680 the President of the United States said something to take 0:07:49.760 --> 0:07:53.400 him at his word exactly, which brings me, brings us to. 0:07:53.200 --> 0:07:57.200 The point I wanted to make, and I sympathize somewhat 0:07:57.240 --> 0:08:03.800 with with like straight meat guys reporters, I as a 0:08:04.440 --> 0:08:08.200 something quasi commentator, humorist, I can get over this a 0:08:08.200 --> 0:08:12.000 lot more easily than they can. The idea that, oh, 0:08:12.120 --> 0:08:15.760 we have a president who says crazy stuff that we 0:08:16.000 --> 0:08:19.040 don't need to take seriously or literally, We just need 0:08:19.080 --> 0:08:23.560 to take it directionally. That's very hard for journalists to 0:08:23.640 --> 0:08:26.119 do because they have been trained, they have lived their 0:08:26.280 --> 0:08:30.000 entire lives to not only take presidents of the United 0:08:30.040 --> 0:08:35.080 States quite literally, but to look for hints and words, 0:08:35.160 --> 0:08:38.720 be to behind the words you know, the reading between 0:08:38.760 --> 0:08:44.040 the lines and then taking those tiny little hints completely seriously. 0:08:44.960 --> 0:08:47.760 It's the opposite. It's like you go from being nearsighted 0:08:47.800 --> 0:08:50.640 to far sided with Trump. They got to say, all right, 0:08:50.640 --> 0:08:53.000 he's talking about taking over Gaza. Of course nobody could. 0:08:53.080 --> 0:08:56.199 Nobody would want to do that. That's ridiculous, and relocating 0:08:56.240 --> 0:08:59.000 all the Palestinians would never happen, none of the countries 0:08:59.000 --> 0:09:02.520 around there. So Trump, it's either wildly ignorant of the situation. 0:09:03.080 --> 0:09:05.559 It's given the work on the Abraham Accords that kind 0:09:05.559 --> 0:09:08.720 of doubt, although he does have huge blind spots. But 0:09:08.880 --> 0:09:12.040 so he's either wildly insanely ignorant, or he's sending a 0:09:12.080 --> 0:09:14.600 signal of which way stuff ought to go. I'll tell 0:09:14.640 --> 0:09:15.440 you what the signal is. 0:09:15.480 --> 0:09:17.880 I think, to be perfectly serious for a moment, I 0:09:17.920 --> 0:09:21.560 think the signal is to hey, Egypt, Hey Jordan, Hey 0:09:21.600 --> 0:09:23.960 other countries around there. You need to start helping on 0:09:24.040 --> 0:09:26.679 this situation and being willing to take in Palestinians, or 0:09:26.720 --> 0:09:28.720 I'm going to make a mess for you. Because that 0:09:28.840 --> 0:09:32.680 has been the underreported story of the entire Palestinian thing, 0:09:32.720 --> 0:09:35.320 going back to when I was a tiny kid. Is 0:09:35.480 --> 0:09:38.360 the media never talks about how, hey there's a bunch 0:09:38.360 --> 0:09:39.480 of Arab countries around there. 0:09:39.679 --> 0:09:42.400 They don't love Pala countries, Muslim countries around there. They 0:09:42.400 --> 0:09:46.480 don't let Palestinians in. They have a couple of times, 0:09:46.480 --> 0:09:49.280 and it's caused revolution and death and blood in their countries. 0:09:49.559 --> 0:09:51.680 As one of the points I was going to make later, 0:09:51.679 --> 0:09:53.320 but let's make it no is you know what the 0:09:53.360 --> 0:09:57.240 problem is with the Palestinian territories, the Palestinians and their 0:09:57.320 --> 0:10:02.080 leadership and their ninth century Islam and their hatred of Jews. 0:10:02.400 --> 0:10:04.880 That's the issue. You get rid of that. They live 0:10:04.920 --> 0:10:09.480 in peace, harmony and wealth, wealth folks, not just no 0:10:09.679 --> 0:10:13.080 bombs falling on their heads. Wealth. If they could forget 0:10:13.160 --> 0:10:18.240 about their Mohammed directed loathing of the Jews, they'd be great. 0:10:19.040 --> 0:10:23.520 Back to the funny part. So when watching Benjamin Netanyahu 0:10:23.600 --> 0:10:25.920 stand there, I have no idea how much of that 0:10:26.000 --> 0:10:28.160 he was giving a heads up on or not, but 0:10:28.280 --> 0:10:30.319 I mean he was standing there at that press conference 0:10:30.360 --> 0:10:32.920 next to Trump when Trump's so Uncomfortab drops the United 0:10:32.960 --> 0:10:34.960 States is gonna take over Gaza and yeah, we'll send 0:10:35.000 --> 0:10:35.800 troops if we have to. 0:10:36.600 --> 0:10:38.760 Where the Palastini is gonna go I don't know, somewhere else, 0:10:38.800 --> 0:10:42.120 we'll we'll find him another spottle In and benjama I 0:10:42.240 --> 0:10:43.720 was just smiling and got of nodding along. 0:10:43.840 --> 0:10:45.960 And then when he gets asked questions he says things like, 0:10:46.520 --> 0:10:50.120 you know, Trump mixes things up and uh, you know, yeah, 0:10:50.240 --> 0:10:53.320 you have to consider these things. I mean, he allows 0:10:53.320 --> 0:10:57.080 an opportunity to think about things or phrases like that. 0:10:57.840 --> 0:11:02.120 On that score, I have the official White House statement 0:11:02.200 --> 0:11:05.680 on the proposal and all the people praising it. It 0:11:05.760 --> 0:11:14.920 is strange and hilarious. They're taking it serious, literally seriously 0:11:16.240 --> 0:11:20.520 while trolling everybody half serious. It's it's we're through the 0:11:20.600 --> 0:11:26.200 looking glass of presidential communications here. Yeah, it's seems like it. 0:11:26.520 --> 0:11:28.319 I mean, if you watch the news last night in 0:11:28.360 --> 0:11:30.520 this morning, it seems like a really big news cycle. 0:11:30.679 --> 0:11:33.240 I don't think it is. I mean it really it's 0:11:33.360 --> 0:11:37.680 it's it's uh, it's just another step in the whole 0:11:37.760 --> 0:11:39.920 world to a new world. Or Trump's a new guy 0:11:40.320 --> 0:11:42.440 that just a new way to follow things where he 0:11:42.440 --> 0:11:45.680 says wild things but he means something else. Just yeah, 0:11:45.720 --> 0:11:48.120 it's akin to And I was just reading about how 0:11:48.440 --> 0:11:52.280 the administration's doing wonderful things planning on doing just awe 0:11:52.360 --> 0:11:58.319 inspiring stuff on school choice. That just gladdens my heart. 0:11:59.600 --> 0:12:01.839 For all all of his flaws, the other guys weren't 0:12:01.840 --> 0:12:05.240 doing this. It's as if Trump said, We're gonna fire 0:12:05.240 --> 0:12:08.000 every school teacher in America. That's the only way to 0:12:08.040 --> 0:12:10.319 clean out the system. That's the way to start fresh 0:12:10.320 --> 0:12:13.400 with government schools. We're gonna fire every teacher in America. 0:12:14.080 --> 0:12:18.680 That is a signal. You beaches think I'm playing. You 0:12:18.800 --> 0:12:24.680 think I'm Bush over here. You think he Jeff I'm 0:12:24.679 --> 0:12:31.319 not Joe Bucha I am.

I kind of deal with 0:13:38.880 --> 0:13:42.120 that that way myself. How does mailbag look? It's too 0:13:42.120 --> 0:13:44.520 bad too, because it was a great question, but it's outstanding. 0:13:44.559 --> 0:13:47.600 We may have to squeeze it in later. Oh boy, jeeze, 0:13:47.720 --> 0:13:50.120 things are already out of control. Six pound shoe, a 0:13:50.120 --> 0:13:56.120 five pound bag. Stay tuned, getty. Oh thank god. The 0:13:56.200 --> 0:13:57.200 US Postal. 0:13:56.880 --> 0:13:59.959 Service just said it will resume accepting parcels from China. 0:14:00.920 --> 0:14:03.760 If you got that alert yesterday last. 0:14:03.600 --> 0:14:05.480 Night that they canceled and I had, I got a 0:14:05.480 --> 0:14:07.520 bunch of Fortune cookies on the way and I need them. 0:14:08.440 --> 0:14:12.160 What was that like twelve hours? Yeah, policy existed. Yeah, 0:14:12.960 --> 0:14:15.679 I know. Here's your freedom loving quote of the day. 0:14:19.800 --> 0:14:26.600 Our series on change, Victor Hugo. Change your opinions, keep 0:14:26.600 --> 0:14:29.720 to your principles, change your leaves, keep intact your. 0:14:29.680 --> 0:14:34.560 Roots, change your leaves, keep intact your roots. In metaphor 0:14:34.600 --> 0:14:37.520 from a writer, Yeah, old Victor. 0:14:37.360 --> 0:14:40.400 Hugo knew his way around a sentence. Ehh, that's a 0:14:40.440 --> 0:14:42.320 thought provoking one. That's why I liked it so much. 0:14:42.440 --> 0:14:46.680 Change your opinions, but keep to your principles that does exist. 0:14:46.800 --> 0:14:50.480 Change your leaves, keep intact your roots. Think about it. 0:14:51.600 --> 0:14:56.320 Mail bag woo, let's see drops a note mail bag 0:14:56.320 --> 0:14:58.880 at Armstrong and Giddy dot com. This is from John 0:14:58.920 --> 0:15:02.280 with no age. Sorry they got to you. Your tortured 0:15:04.960 --> 0:15:07.120 in our two of Today's show Yesterday is funny and 0:15:07.120 --> 0:15:09.280 a little sad. He's talking about when I was discussing 0:15:09.360 --> 0:15:14.200 the gender bending Madness movie Emilia Perez. Oh more news 0:15:14.240 --> 0:15:18.280 on that. Yeah, I saw that Hollywood has beclowned itself 0:15:18.560 --> 0:15:23.560 beyond all the clown mins. This is a beautiful thing anyway, 0:15:24.400 --> 0:15:26.480 But he says it was funny and a little sad. 0:15:26.560 --> 0:15:28.880 Not long ago, you had vowed many times not to 0:15:28.920 --> 0:15:31.240 call a man or woman. I guess someone had big 0:15:31.360 --> 0:15:35.080 enough leverage to drag that out of you. Whatendolences? Oh, 0:15:35.080 --> 0:15:38.400 I love it when listeners try to shame us. First 0:15:38.440 --> 0:15:42.440 of all, unless that was tongue in cheek, I really 0:15:42.480 --> 0:15:45.560 don't like you and we can never be friends. Low 0:15:45.680 --> 0:15:49.120 level trolling. I think so too. The problem I ran 0:15:49.320 --> 0:15:51.360 to us I was trying to describe who was doing 0:15:51.480 --> 0:15:55.560 what in a scene involving bunch of transgender people, and 0:15:55.600 --> 0:15:57.040 I was trying to get it through my head. This 0:15:57.080 --> 0:16:01.960 will be completely unfollowable no matter how I discribe it. Anyway. 0:16:02.560 --> 0:16:06.440 Moving along, David on the topic of China taking over 0:16:06.440 --> 0:16:09.400 the United States. She is really gonna be disappointed when 0:16:09.440 --> 0:16:11.640 he takes over the US and enslaves the Americans and 0:16:11.680 --> 0:16:14.480 finds out they won't do farm labor, clean motel rooms, 0:16:14.560 --> 0:16:19.760 or work in slaughterhouses. It's just too beneath them. Yeah, 0:16:19.800 --> 0:16:23.120 I'm sorry. She's in pang. We're very lazy and entitled here. 0:16:22.960 --> 0:16:25.520 But in China to take to take all the fun 0:16:25.560 --> 0:16:26.800 out of it, which is what I do. But in 0:16:26.880 --> 0:16:29.480 China they would starve you until you work, because that's 0:16:29.480 --> 0:16:32.560 the way they roll as the Communist Chinese Party exactly. 0:16:32.640 --> 0:16:36.640 Yeah, ah, and it works. Another Jay in San Jose writes, 0:16:37.640 --> 0:16:40.720 Musk's in charge. Lol, Dems now think Musk is taking 0:16:40.760 --> 0:16:44.640 over the government from Hitler, the fascist dictator. Well wait 0:16:44.680 --> 0:16:47.120 a minute, let's count the number of dictator fascists who 0:16:47.120 --> 0:16:50.160 willingly gave up all their power. I'll wait, they wanted 0:16:50.200 --> 0:16:52.760 both ways. Maybe we can call them by democrats. I 0:16:52.760 --> 0:16:55.840 don't know. I get his point. Though, he's Hitler, he's 0:16:55.840 --> 0:16:58.200 a fascist. He's willingly giving up all of his power, 0:16:58.600 --> 0:17:02.680 and that's worse. Man. There are a bunch of stories 0:17:02.680 --> 0:17:03.320 to update you on. 0:17:03.400 --> 0:17:07.840 And then obviously we're sending our troops to Gaza to 0:17:07.880 --> 0:17:11.280 take that piece of blend as MAGA had promised, getting 0:17:11.280 --> 0:17:12.760 involved in more Middle Eastern wars. 0:17:13.600 --> 0:17:16.520 No, that's not a long, long term Yes, that was 0:17:16.560 --> 0:17:17.240 part of the promise. 0:17:17.359 --> 0:17:20.200 That's not going to happen. It'll never even come close 0:17:20.240 --> 0:17:22.000 to happening, so don't worry about it. 0:17:22.320 --> 0:17:23.680 More news on the way stay here if you miss 0:17:23.680 --> 0:17:28.399 a segment, get the podcast. Armstrong and Getty. 0:17:29.680 --> 0:17:32.919 The FBI searching this pawn shop in Manhattan's Diamond District, 0:17:32.920 --> 0:17:35.360 where they say they track some of the luxury items 0:17:35.400 --> 0:17:38.280 stolen in a rash of recent burglaries at the homes 0:17:38.280 --> 0:17:42.680 of professional athletes, including Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow. Two 0:17:42.680 --> 0:17:46.080 men are under arrest, charged with brokering the sale of watches, jewelry, 0:17:46.080 --> 0:17:49.400 and handbags that prosecutors say were stolen by South American 0:17:49.480 --> 0:17:53.160 gangs targeting athletes and other wealthy homeowners across the country 0:17:53.280 --> 0:17:56.920 for nearly five years. Authority say Dimitri Nazinski and Juan 0:17:57.040 --> 0:17:59.920 Vollar were the middlemen, buying the loot from the burglary 0:18:00.480 --> 0:18:03.199 and then selling it at their pawn shop. Officers and 0:18:03.240 --> 0:18:05.760 agents raiding the place, they say they sees dozens of 0:18:05.840 --> 0:18:07.639 high end watches and pieces. 0:18:07.240 --> 0:18:11.560 Of jewelry Gee a pawn shop that specializes in NFL 0:18:11.680 --> 0:18:14.280 Stars stuff. I hope there aren't any others, and if 0:18:14.320 --> 0:18:18.320 there are, I hope somebody will send me the address. 0:18:18.400 --> 0:18:19.719 That had to be a good store. 0:18:20.119 --> 0:18:22.440 So much thievery going on over the last couple of 0:18:22.480 --> 0:18:25.159 years by by all kinds of people, including plenty of 0:18:25.280 --> 0:18:27.399 US citizens as we made crime legal. 0:18:27.760 --> 0:18:30.560 But I've been umb because George Floyd died. 0:18:31.040 --> 0:18:32.840 I was thinking about buying the Apple Vision pro I 0:18:32.840 --> 0:18:34.880 mentioned this a while back, a couple of weeks ago, 0:18:34.920 --> 0:18:37.560 and I'm on Facebook marketplace looking for a used one. 0:18:37.640 --> 0:18:43.560 There's a high number of Apple watches, the expensive headphones 0:18:43.600 --> 0:18:46.840 that I have the Apple Vision Pro unopened in boxes 0:18:46.920 --> 0:18:49.719 for sale at Like, what is that? 0:18:49.760 --> 0:18:51.919 Are those all day? They fill off the back of 0:18:51.920 --> 0:18:54.280 a truck. What's going on there? It's got to be, 0:18:54.359 --> 0:18:58.840 doesn't it gotta be? Yeah, Apple doesn't discount like that. No, 0:19:00.560 --> 0:19:03.000 uh yeah, that's gotta be stolen stuff I want. 0:19:03.200 --> 0:19:05.040 And you know, I've I've always wondered, you know, when 0:19:05.040 --> 0:19:07.439 people clear off those shelves of stuff, whether it's an 0:19:07.440 --> 0:19:10.440 Apple store or Walgreens, where are they selling this stuff? 0:19:10.440 --> 0:19:13.639 Well? I guess some point christ Tim Cook doesn't have 0:19:13.800 --> 0:19:16.160 a team of people who just go through those ads 0:19:16.160 --> 0:19:19.159 every single day, and then a private army right of 0:19:19.920 --> 0:19:21.879 thugs that he's hired from around the globe to go 0:19:21.920 --> 0:19:24.680 in ext you know, East German Stazi or whatever, the 0:19:25.040 --> 0:19:27.320 storm into places and get their stuff back and crack 0:19:27.400 --> 0:19:27.800 some heads. 0:19:27.920 --> 0:19:30.560 You're shooting between the eyes with the Cupertino death ray. 0:19:30.920 --> 0:19:34.760 Wow, what I thought? That just ruins my battery life 0:19:34.760 --> 0:19:37.760 and kills people too. Wow. So anyway back to the 0:19:37.760 --> 0:19:41.640 idea of Venezuelan gang members perpetrating crime waves and it's 0:19:41.680 --> 0:19:44.160 not them, it's the Chileans and whatever. And as Jack 0:19:44.160 --> 0:19:46.879 makes the point, there's plenty of domesticated criminals who have 0:19:46.960 --> 0:19:49.920 been setting the message from progressives that it's fine and dandy. 0:19:50.320 --> 0:19:55.679 But if I might blow aside the smoke of the 0:19:55.720 --> 0:19:58.359 Trump Gaza stuff for the moment, and we'll go big 0:19:58.400 --> 0:20:00.400 on it next hour and play you some the tape 0:20:00.400 --> 0:20:03.919 from the press conference, because it was it was like 0:20:04.040 --> 0:20:09.960 satisfying on every level. It was are you serious and important? 0:20:10.320 --> 0:20:14.920 It was bizarre, it was hilarious, it was thought provoking. 0:20:15.000 --> 0:20:18.360 It was like a like one of those seven layer cakes. Anyway, 0:20:19.640 --> 0:20:23.560 our Secretary of State actually used the phrase. I was 0:20:23.600 --> 0:20:24.880 trying to find it to make sure I can get 0:20:24.880 --> 0:20:26.639 it wrong, but I'm pretty sure this right. He actually 0:20:26.720 --> 0:20:32.679 used the phrase make Gaza great again. Yes, yes, exactly, Marco, 0:20:33.000 --> 0:20:35.399 showing that he is fully on board with the Trump method, 0:20:35.600 --> 0:20:39.080 which I think is going to be good. I hope. Anyway, 0:20:39.160 --> 0:20:41.600 some more statements to that effect next hour as well. 0:20:41.760 --> 0:20:44.760 The White House put out pages of people, many of 0:20:44.800 --> 0:20:50.560 whose names you know, from foreign policy, senators, whatever, congressman 0:20:50.800 --> 0:20:53.080 saying this is a great idea. I love this idea, 0:20:53.200 --> 0:20:55.879 So stay tuned. But anyway, we're going to clear the 0:20:55.880 --> 0:20:59.440 smoke of that way and talk about something seriously important 0:21:00.080 --> 0:21:02.560 that is one of the many stories Jack reference that 0:21:03.080 --> 0:21:06.000 are getting covered up with the oh my god, can 0:21:06.040 --> 0:21:09.399 you believe he said that bluster, which never seems to 0:21:09.400 --> 0:21:13.040 get old on the left, and that is Trump wants 0:21:13.080 --> 0:21:17.119 to add the Mexican cartels. I always want to call 0:21:17.200 --> 0:21:21.199 them drug cartels, but they're giant criminal syndicates that do 0:21:21.440 --> 0:21:24.560 a lot of different crimes. Anyway, he wants to add 0:21:24.600 --> 0:21:27.159 them to a list of terrorist groups that include the 0:21:27.280 --> 0:21:31.040 likes of al Qaeda and Hamas the White House laid 0:21:31.080 --> 0:21:35.320 out the executive order actually last month, it's going to 0:21:35.320 --> 0:21:37.679 increase pressure on the cartels by directing more money to 0:21:37.720 --> 0:21:41.480 intelligence gathering. And departing from the text of the article here, 0:21:42.760 --> 0:21:45.760 the stuff going on in the shakeup in the CIA 0:21:45.920 --> 0:21:50.280 is really interesting too, and that the new director wants 0:21:50.359 --> 0:21:55.679 to devote significant time and energy of the CIA to 0:21:55.800 --> 0:22:00.639 penetrating the cartels. The reasoning being there a direct and 0:22:00.800 --> 0:22:03.600 imminent threat to the lives and happiness of America and 0:22:03.640 --> 0:22:09.560 its citizens. So what they're off bounds, out of bounds 0:22:09.600 --> 0:22:14.400 just because they operate in Mexico, which is putatively an 0:22:14.400 --> 0:22:18.600 ally Anyway, I think it's a great move. It could 0:22:18.600 --> 0:22:21.760 also lead the groundwork for going after cartel financiers and 0:22:21.800 --> 0:22:25.439 allied businesses, and for unilateral US military actions such as 0:22:25.520 --> 0:22:29.320 drone strikes on drug labs. According to officials and security experts, 0:22:29.960 --> 0:22:32.080 We've talked about this in the past. See when the 0:22:32.119 --> 0:22:37.640 CIA gets empowered to actually like do the taking out 0:22:37.640 --> 0:22:40.280 of the drug labs, things can get a little crazy. 0:22:41.560 --> 0:22:45.879 But I don't mind a little bit of it. But 0:22:45.960 --> 0:22:50.840 that risks straining ties with Mexico. Jack thoughts, ah good 0:22:53.240 --> 0:22:56.520
