1 00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:15,280 Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 2 00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:19,960 Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Katty Armstrong and 3 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:36,240 Speaker 1: Decade and he arms Draw for brom Studio, Sea than York. 4 00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:40,360 Speaker 2: I am so hungover for my Columbus Day party. Oh 5 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:44,200 Speaker 2: my god, I'm drinking as so much Spanish wine. 6 00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:48,199 Speaker 1: Yeah, and brought in some Native American people to abuse. 7 00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:51,839 Speaker 1: Who is quite the party but anyway, a dimly lit 8 00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,120 Speaker 1: room deep with them the bowels of the Armstrong and 9 00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:58,080 Speaker 1: Getty Communications Compound. And hey y'all, today we're back at work, 10 00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,080 Speaker 1: and we're under the tooth leg of our General Man, 11 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:02,280 Speaker 1: Donald J. Trump. 12 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:07,000 Speaker 2: Ask kicker Comma peacemaker. 13 00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:10,679 Speaker 1: Ass kicker, Comma peacemaker. And those two are closely related 14 00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:16,040 Speaker 1: friends are honorary Assistant General Managers Joe Biden and Anthony Blinken, 15 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:20,199 Speaker 1: who were out saying Donald Trump and his administration built 16 00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:25,160 Speaker 1: on the peace plans that we had developed. Okay, I'm hilarious, poise. 17 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 1: Everybody's totally buying that. Quite a day yesterday, huh. I 18 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 1: was almost regretting us not being on the air as 19 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 1: all the hostages were being returned with the twenty remaining 20 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:40,400 Speaker 1: hostages that are alive, which I guess right, You know, 21 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 1: I understand why you didn't focus on the fact that 22 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,280 Speaker 1: they're only twenty alive and a whole bunch of bodies, 23 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 1: And how did those alive people become bodies? I guess 24 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 1: that's the only way you can get this piece thing 25 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 1: to happen. But that kind of thing to overlook. I 26 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 1: understand the difficulty of the editorial decision if you have 27 00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 1: a shortish newscast and you depend heavily on video to 28 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 1: keep people watching. But yeah, you and I were thinking 29 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 1: exactly the same thing. Maybe two of those dead twenty 30 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 1: eight died of natural causes or some disease that they 31 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 1: already had. The rest were starved, abused, executed, or just 32 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 1: denied medical care for easily curable conditions. They are murder victims, Yeah, 33 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:26,079 Speaker 1: tortured to death. And that's a heck of a thing 34 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 1: to ignore, But you know, I guess that's part of 35 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 1: the process of moving on. Yeah the hell, it's not 36 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 1: like no a price has been paid by the Islamist monsters. 37 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 1: Now look at some of those A lot of the 38 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:48,399 Speaker 1: videos before they were actually released, the living hostages where 39 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 1: they would say their loved ones. So I'm coming home. 40 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 1: It's just a matter of hours now. The two Hamask 41 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:57,200 Speaker 1: guys standing next to them, right, it's just incredible, shoulder 42 00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:00,800 Speaker 1: to shoulder menacing them. Yeah, but the and the reception 43 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 1: that Trump got there in Israel yesterday. We got audio 44 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 1: from that coming up later. Man, that was something. Yeah, 45 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:11,960 Speaker 1: it was absolutely amazing. And then the turn toward broader 46 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 1: peace in the Middle East starts to get a little 47 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 1: more complicated. But it's always been complicated, and so he's 48 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:22,839 Speaker 1: moving forward, moving forward, you certainly have more participants who 49 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 1: used to only vowed to wipe each other off the 50 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 1: map working together in a way that's never happened, right, 51 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 1: and hurting those cats won't be easy, but the fact 52 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 1: that they are in a herd is astonishing, and it 53 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 1: does it's more than just a momentary gesture or an 54 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 1: interesting chapter. I really do think it was a pivot point. 55 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 1: This is a pivot point in the Middle East where 56 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:56,760 Speaker 1: the reasonable folks are realizing that the extremist folks aren't 57 00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 1: doing them any favors and never have. It's you know 58 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 1: that it makes it sound a little easier than it's 59 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 1: going to be. But I mean Hamas for instance, brutally 60 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:12,120 Speaker 1: unpopular on the ground in Gaza at this point, terribly unpopular. 61 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 1: The Egyptians, you know, consented to have net Yahoo com, 62 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,599 Speaker 1: although the word behind the scenes is a lot of 63 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 1: the Arabs are like dudes. I cannot be in a 64 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 1: picture with the bb net nyaw so anyway, a lot 65 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,279 Speaker 1: to be worked out, but the fact that we're moving 66 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 1: in that direction is amazing. Uh yeah, yeah, it's it's 67 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 1: gonna be something to watch. I don't know if you 68 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 1: heard this quote. I heard it a couple of different places. 69 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 1: I'd never heard it before. I think it's credited to 70 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 1: George Bernard Shaw. Some men look at things the way 71 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:52,840 Speaker 1: they are and except reality. Some men decide to ignore 72 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 1: reality and go full steam ahead anyway, and history is 73 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 1: driven by that second group. I thought that was really interesting. 74 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 1: I'd never heard that quote before because I leaned toward 75 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 1: that first group, and I tend to want people who 76 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 1: lean toward that first group in charge of everything, who 77 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,480 Speaker 1: accept reality and work with it as opposed to Nah, 78 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 1: I don't believe in that's reality. It's gonna go barreling 79 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,719 Speaker 1: this direction anyway. But the fact that history is driven 80 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,320 Speaker 1: by those who are the second group. You know, a 81 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:27,760 Speaker 1: lot of calamities and plans unfulfilled are driven by that 82 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:32,159 Speaker 1: second group. Also obviously, right, there's a lot of what 83 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:37,799 Speaker 1: is called reality that is in fact just convention. Middle 84 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:39,920 Speaker 1: East is a great example of that. And we've talked 85 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 1: about this a number of times. That Trump looks at 86 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: the conventional wisdom and says, hey, I don't care. I 87 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 1: don't care. We've got a deal to make. Let's figure 88 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 1: out how to make the deal. Well, mister President, you 89 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:55,719 Speaker 1: can't move the capital to Jerusalem, because he's like, yeah, 90 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:59,719 Speaker 1: we're gotta That was just what was called reality, was 91 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 1: just convention. The post sixty seven borders after the Sixth 92 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:08,160 Speaker 1: Day War leadies to I don't know what you're talking about, 93 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 1: and I don't care, right right, make the problem bigger. 94 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 1: Who's standing in the way? Cut her a, drop a 95 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:19,360 Speaker 1: bomb on drop a bomb on them, and b invite 96 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 1: them to the next summit. So the shutdown continues. We're 97 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 1: now the fifth longest shit down of all time, something 98 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:35,920 Speaker 1: like that. And I just saw a chart of the 99 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:39,480 Speaker 1: longer shutdowns than we've had so far. You didn't remember 100 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 1: any of them except for one that happened in nineteen 101 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 1: seventy eight. And if you're old enough, that happened in 102 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 1: your lifetime. But even if you're younger, except for the 103 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:47,679 Speaker 1: one that happened in nineteen seventy eight, they've all happened 104 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 1: in your lifetime and you don't remember them at all. 105 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:52,159 Speaker 1: So it could end by and then we'll move on 106 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,039 Speaker 1: with our lives. But maybe a lot end for who knows. 107 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,599 Speaker 1: I don't know. We have a dysfunctional government. There's a 108 00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,600 Speaker 1: breaking news. I hope that didn't shock anybody. I hope 109 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 1: you're okay. And a grotesquely dishonest media too. If they 110 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 1: were reporting anywhere near honestly on this, it never would 111 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 1: have happened. So seamless political grand standing checks. It's awful. 112 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,679 Speaker 1: Check in on that stupid story later. I just came across. 113 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 1: The Atlantic has a I'm thinking about this because I'm 114 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 1: drinking coffee right now. Oh my god, I love coffee. 115 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 1: I'm a drug addict. Most of us are drug addicts, 116 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:31,119 Speaker 1: caffeine addicts and pathetic junkie. The Atlantic has a story 117 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 1: out coffee is in trouble, and for a variety of reasons, tariffs, 118 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 1: changing climate, business models, all kinds of different things, coffee 119 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:46,680 Speaker 1: is in trouble it is forty percent more expensive than 120 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 1: it was a year ago, and it had taken a 121 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,800 Speaker 1: giant leap the year before that. Oh, it is becoming 122 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 1: a real serious problem. Where coffee is going to come from, 123 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 1: and how you're going to keep it at a price 124 00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 1: anyway you can afford it. We're all addicts, and if 125 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 1: we read sorry, no more trips. I gotta afford my 126 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 1: brown smack. Gotta be able to afford my hot bitter smack. Right, 127 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 1: got more vacations. I got a delicious monkey on my back. 128 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 1: As long as there's enough for me, I'm good. That's 129 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 1: attitude I got mine. How long does it keep? Maybe 130 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 1: if it's going up like that, I should just buy 131 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 1: a whole bunch of it, keep in my house, you know, 132 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 1: enough for the next rest of my life. I'm an 133 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 1: espresso guy and a curag guy, and those pods last 134 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,320 Speaker 1: a long time. Yeah, they do. They're also expensive it. 135 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 1: I've noticed a lot of the time when I go 136 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 1: to you get wrung up at the grocery store and 137 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 1: they ring up the bill and it's like, what, how 138 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,520 Speaker 1: did I spend that much money? It's the box of 139 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 1: coffee pods that I got. Yeah, they're much much cheaper, 140 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:53,959 Speaker 1: can get me your coffee out though, Oh yeah, no 141 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 1: doubt so, And then I definitely want to I'm hot 142 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 1: to trot about this first story they had on sixty 143 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,720 Speaker 1: Minutes from Sunday Night about China. Sixty minutes has been 144 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 1: doing a good job for a couple of years on 145 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 1: alerting us to China's threats with a variety of stories, 146 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 1: but the one they had on Sunday night was I 147 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 1: found bone chilling. I don't know why this isn't like 148 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,680 Speaker 1: the main topic of conversation, the way China is. We've 149 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,640 Speaker 1: been trying to convinu you of that, the way China 150 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:25,160 Speaker 1: has hacked into so many of our systems across the country, 151 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 1: and wondering why did they do it? What is their plan? 152 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,680 Speaker 1: And they have a kill switch on everything we depend on. 153 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:38,720 Speaker 1: Hanson put together AI saying Joe Getty Cold Warrior or 154 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,720 Speaker 1: just I can do it for you. Yes, yes, my god, 155 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 1: we are so vulnerable and we're asleep. We're sleeping like 156 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 1: fat little babies with no idea the dangers lurking outside 157 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 1: the nursery door China's ass home. We'll play some summary, 158 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:56,960 Speaker 1: we'll play some clips later. If you didn't see if 159 00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 1: they had. This four star general on had been running 160 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 1: uh security of the NSA all kinds of different things 161 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:06,679 Speaker 1: for many, many years, and he was really laying out 162 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:10,480 Speaker 1: a frightening story of how they're into all our computer systems, 163 00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:13,760 Speaker 1: cell phone towers, water plants, and tiny little towns all 164 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:16,200 Speaker 1: across America. And one thing that they did is they 165 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,960 Speaker 1: didn't get in with malware which would eventually be detected. 166 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 1: They just hacked in and got the passwords. And so 167 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,079 Speaker 1: if they ever need to, they can get in there 168 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:27,240 Speaker 1: and make all the water in your town poison. Really 169 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,440 Speaker 1: by messing with the chemicals. They could do that like 170 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,880 Speaker 1: today if they wanted to, or probably more likely, according 171 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:36,280 Speaker 1: to this security expert, after they decided to move on 172 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 1: Taiwan and we start doing or saying threatening things, all 173 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 1: of a sudden, there's like five towns spread across America 174 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,960 Speaker 1: where the water turned to poison. That would freak people out. 175 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:48,960 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, oh my god, I didn't you imagine the 176 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:50,680 Speaker 1: reaction to that. And China. See, and we can do 177 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 1: that with everything. We can do that with cell phone towers, 178 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:54,040 Speaker 1: we can do it with your water, we can turn 179 00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 1: off your hospitals, we can do it all electric grid. Please, 180 00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 1: that'll be the first thing to go. Yeah, that's quite story. 181 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 1: So we'll talk about that. Oh my god, that is 182 00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:07,400 Speaker 1: just absolutely amazing.

Yeah, airports refuse to 231 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 1: play a video. Yeah, I don't know about political videos 232 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 1: in the airport while I'm walking to my gate anyway. 233 00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:28,360 Speaker 1: What is that? Oh? Are they part of CNN's programming. 234 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:29,920 Speaker 1: It's a Pate spot or what? Katie. 235 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:33,000 Speaker 4: No, it was a video that the administration put out 236 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:37,800 Speaker 4: talking about how, you know, the TSA and the federal workers. 237 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 1: They want to do the best job that they can. 238 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 4: And it's Christi Nome saying it, and then it goes 239 00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,560 Speaker 4: into you know, but the Democrats have shut the government down. 240 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, if there was a mechanism for that sort of 241 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:49,760 Speaker 1: thing already, Okay, but honestly, I don't need the government 242 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:51,920 Speaker 1: messaging me in the airport. 243 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 4: From the New York Times, US starts charging Chinese ships 244 00:14:57,640 --> 00:14:58,280 Speaker 4: to dock. 245 00:14:58,280 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 1: At its ports. 246 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:07,720 Speaker 4: From USA Today, Governor Gavin Newsom signs law banning block 247 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:09,880 Speaker 4: pistols in the state of California. 248 00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:13,840 Speaker 1: The Governor of California signed a bunch of laws over 249 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:17,160 Speaker 1: the last several days that we should talk about. I'm 250 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:20,360 Speaker 1: guessing most of them are as unconstitutional as that one. 251 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:24,040 Speaker 1: That is not the point. The point is signaling that 252 00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:25,960 Speaker 1: you're the right kind of person to be the nominee 253 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:30,400 Speaker 1: for president. That was my point. Uh huh. He knows 254 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:34,680 Speaker 1: they won't get take effect. Oh boy, that's just like 255 00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:39,080 Speaker 1: that famous rock star guy.

Boys. Is Michael 259 00:15:53,680 --> 00:16:02,280 Speaker 1: uh from the New York Post, not Guda News. 260 00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:05,840 Speaker 4: Your cheese is teeming with microplastics. 261 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 1: Oh no, Guda is a kind of cheese and it 262 00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:18,360 Speaker 1: sounds like the word good, so yes kind of Michael 263 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:20,680 Speaker 1: is kind of a play on word. Really clean that 264 00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:21,920 Speaker 1: one up for us Jack, thank you. 265 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:29,680 Speaker 4: Finally from the Babylon b Hitler brings peace to Israel. 266 00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, now, Hitler brings dozens of hostage Jews home exactly 267 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 1: and saves thousands of Jewish lives. You know, I heard 268 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,400 Speaker 1: a lot of talk about the Nobel Peace Prize and 269 00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 1: whether or not Trump will or should win it next 270 00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 1: time around. It was just announced last week, so I'm 271 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,600 Speaker 1: guessing it's roughly a year to will announce the next one. 272 00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 1: This will seem like ancient history a year from now. 273 00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 1: Plus they'll be all the twists and turns from you know, 274 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,320 Speaker 1: how a peace deal comes together doesn't come together over 275 00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:03,640 Speaker 1: the next year. I just I just think it'll be 276 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:07,119 Speaker 1: such a distant memory, right, And honestly, I would like 277 00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:11,440 Speaker 1: to devalue that prize as a thing anyway. Yeah, it's 278 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:16,080 Speaker 1: been ridiculous for a very long time. Yeah, but maybe 279 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:19,400 Speaker 1: we're nine months into Trump's term. There are so many 280 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:21,560 Speaker 1: things yet to go. We got a lot of stuff 281 00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:23,320 Speaker 1: to talk about today. To catch you up on the 282 00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:24,919 Speaker 1: news from the weekend. I hope you can see here 283 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:27,840 Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getty. 284 00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 5: It's a really significant first step, and I really commend 285 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:41,400 Speaker 5: President Trump and his administration as well. As Arab leaders 286 00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:42,240 Speaker 5: in the region. 287 00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:46,679 Speaker 1: Lots of people, including Hillary Clinton there who don't normally 288 00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:48,520 Speaker 1: have anything nice to say about Trump, saying nice things 289 00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:51,000 Speaker 1: about Trump because of the way things have unfolded in 290 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:56,480 Speaker 1: the Middle East over the last several days. Yeah. Yeah, 291 00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,520 Speaker 1: Hillary is a witch and a partisan, but she's a 292 00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:02,199 Speaker 1: real in a way that a lot of people in 293 00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:05,439 Speaker 1: politics aren't. So yeah, I appreciate that. Well, her and 294 00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:08,399 Speaker 1: her husband had been bumping up against Tomas for many decades, 295 00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:11,960 Speaker 1: so they realize, they realized what time it is. Well, 296 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:15,720 Speaker 1: and Billy Jeff was, I mean, he was about ready 297 00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,960 Speaker 1: to get like the next ten years worth of Nobel 298 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:22,080 Speaker 1: Peace Prizes when he got stiffed at the last minute 299 00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:26,600 Speaker 1: by Yasser Arafat, who was afraid of radical Islamist So yeah, yeah, 300 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:31,880 Speaker 1: they're they're realists about you know, the d G hotties, 301 00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:37,080 Speaker 1: no doubt. Before we get into the actual news, got 302 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:38,920 Speaker 1: to at least tip our cap to the fact that 303 00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:42,560 Speaker 1: both Joe Biden and Anthony Blinken are on social media 304 00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:47,720 Speaker 1: claiming that the Gaza breakthrough was just building on their 305 00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:51,000 Speaker 1: approach and they'd gotten practically all the way to the 306 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:56,880 Speaker 1: finish line. And in a lengthy post on X Blincoln 307 00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:00,560 Speaker 1: said it was it's good that President Trump adopted and 308 00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:04,160 Speaker 1: built on the plan the Biden administration developed after months 309 00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:07,680 Speaker 1: of discussion with Arab partners, Israel and the Palestinian authority. 310 00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:10,439 Speaker 1: A right. That's my favorite part of ruly hilarious. That's 311 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:12,560 Speaker 1: my favorite part of politics is everybody trying to take 312 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:16,919 Speaker 1: credit when something goes well, or everybody trying to distance 313 00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:20,440 Speaker 1: themselves when something goes poorly. That's my favorite thing of 314 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:23,560 Speaker 1: the whole political thing. Most of my favorite thinkers who 315 00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:28,760 Speaker 1: don't like Trump, including Ian Bremmer, say Biden Harris were 316 00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:32,680 Speaker 1: never going to get there with their approach, right right. 317 00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:36,959 Speaker 1: The truth is, of course that Trump did the opposite 318 00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:41,639 Speaker 1: of what Blinkeln and Biden did, which was constantly restrain Israel, 319 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:45,240 Speaker 1: and every time they did it gave Hamas more incentive 320 00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:48,159 Speaker 1: to hang on. And anytime Bbe would have thought of 321 00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:51,200 Speaker 1: doing something as bold as as throwing a missile into 322 00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:55,439 Speaker 1: Cutter or asking Biden to bomb the four Do nuclear plant, 323 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:58,600 Speaker 1: can you picture that? Yeah? I was watching ABC News 324 00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:04,119 Speaker 1: coverage of it, and they're like, one phrase explanation for 325 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 1: how this came together was Trump pressuring bb Net and Yahoo. Oh, no, okay, 326 00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,199 Speaker 1: So that's that's why the whole thing went down. It 327 00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:20,080 Speaker 1: wasn't all these countries, uh, making it clear that Hamasa's 328 00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:24,400 Speaker 1: days were over, and all the pressure that came from that, 329 00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:28,200 Speaker 1: and and the piece agreement is basically a surrender by Amas. 330 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:31,399 Speaker 1: So I don't know. Yeah, anybody who reports that or 331 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:33,679 Speaker 1: says that, never watch them or listen to them or 332 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:36,200 Speaker 1: read them again. I mean, that's not only is that 333 00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:40,160 Speaker 1: like wish casting based on nothing, but it's it's it's 334 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:44,240 Speaker 1: a weird anti semitism too. How can you possibly believe 335 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:47,160 Speaker 1: that when it was clear all the Arab states were 336 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:50,639 Speaker 1: pressure to and or cajoled into condemning Hamas and yanking 337 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:54,440 Speaker 1: away their their their support anyway, to that point, some 338 00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:58,120 Speaker 1: great coverage in the Wall Street Journal, a coordinated squeeze 339 00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:05,760 Speaker 1: forced Hamas to accept a deal it didn't want Egypt. Okay. 340 00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:10,359 Speaker 1: So the plan which was put together by Trump and 341 00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:15,920 Speaker 1: the partners in this whole process, that was then presented 342 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:21,320 Speaker 1: to Hamas looked nothing like what Hamas's leader Khalil Aihaya 343 00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:26,879 Speaker 1: expected to see, according to officials familiar with the discussions. Haya, 344 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:30,000 Speaker 1: who less than a month earlier, had been a target 345 00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:34,360 Speaker 1: of that that bombing, and Cutter told his visitors, the diplomats, 346 00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,240 Speaker 1: that the group would keep its Israeli hostages until it 347 00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:41,760 Speaker 1: had enforceable guarantees the war would end. Period. Two days later, 348 00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:44,920 Speaker 1: Hamas came back to Arab mediators and said, yeah, we'll 349 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:48,280 Speaker 1: go along with the deal. The deal had not changed 350 00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:52,760 Speaker 1: the pressure on Hamas had Egypt, and Cutter told Haya 351 00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:55,400 Speaker 1: the deal was his last chance to end the war. 352 00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 1: According to the officials, they presented Hamas to understand, or 353 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:02,119 Speaker 1: they pressed Hamas rather to understand that holding the hostages 354 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:05,159 Speaker 1: was becoming a strategic liability, giving Israel a source of 355 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:08,479 Speaker 1: legitimacy to keep fighting. The next day they were joined 356 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:11,240 Speaker 1: by Turkey, who warned him that if Hamas didn't approve 357 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:13,840 Speaker 1: the plan, it would be stripped of all political and 358 00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:17,359 Speaker 1: diplomatic cover. Cutter and Turkey would kick their asses out, 359 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,480 Speaker 1: and Egypt would stop pressing for Hamas to have a 360 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:25,040 Speaker 1: say in Gaza's post war governance. The official said, wow. Meanwhile, 361 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:28,200 Speaker 1: the Alphabet News Wars report that he pressured Netnian. Yeah, 362 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:31,040 Speaker 1: so as, ABC News said it all came together because 363 00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:34,360 Speaker 1: Trump was willing to put pressure on Benjamin and yet Okay, 364 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:41,680 Speaker 1: that is unbelievable, says to Hani Mustafa of visiting fellow 365 00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:44,879 Speaker 1: with the European Council on Foreign Relations. AMAS themselves have 366 00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,880 Speaker 1: been under a lot of pressure from regional mediators. AMAS 367 00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:50,520 Speaker 1: also knows they're probably not going to politically survive this 368 00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:53,159 Speaker 1: thing if it continues down this route, especially given that 369 00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:57,359 Speaker 1: their popularity is declining. Yeah, they were desperate and had 370 00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:04,040 Speaker 1: no friends left. Jared Kushner actually met with hamas leaders, 371 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:07,240 Speaker 1: which is one of those things that you supposedly can't 372 00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:10,119 Speaker 1: or aren't supposed to do, but he did, and that 373 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:14,399 Speaker 1: helped bring this all together. There's a guy that is 374 00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,640 Speaker 1: somewhat inscrutable, and I suppose historians will have to try 375 00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:19,600 Speaker 1: to figure out his role and what he is up to. 376 00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,280 Speaker 1: He's been at the center of all this Middle East stuff. 377 00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:24,480 Speaker 1: He put together the Abraham Accords. But he just he 378 00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:27,200 Speaker 1: keeps his head down. He doesn't go on the Sunday shows, 379 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:33,600 Speaker 1: doesn't write long pieces for newspapers. Yeah, I remember the 380 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:38,280 Speaker 1: whole He's a Nepo baby. He's just the Trump's son 381 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:40,920 Speaker 1: in law. So he's been elevated. He has no experience, 382 00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:44,359 Speaker 1: blah blah blah. He's got some sort of talent for sure, 383 00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:48,240 Speaker 1: and it's probably at least slightly trumpion in that the no, 384 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:52,440 Speaker 1: I don't care about the old lines after the nineteen 385 00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:57,119 Speaker 1: seventy three bombing, in the the lingering tensions between now 386 00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:01,320 Speaker 1: we're gonna get to a deal sit down. So Hamas 387 00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:05,400 Speaker 1: spent several days there rounding up Palestinians there in gods 388 00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:07,560 Speaker 1: that that they think had betrayed them and executing them, 389 00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:11,160 Speaker 1: which is quite a thing. Yeah. I don't know how 390 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:14,120 Speaker 1: they think that helped them in anyway, turning the population 391 00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:20,640 Speaker 1: even more against them. I don't know. Well, I think well, 392 00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:25,639 Speaker 1: because they had they had courts. Just reading Joonah Goldberg writing, 393 00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:29,040 Speaker 1: the Hamas put together these courts and had trials they claim, 394 00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:32,560 Speaker 1: and then executed these people. Jonah Goldberg of The Dispatch, writing, 395 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:35,840 Speaker 1: It's amazing that Hamas managed to pull off this despite 396 00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,000 Speaker 1: and during months of famine. It makes it all the 397 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,920 Speaker 1: more impressive. Standing up a legal system in rubble while 398 00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:47,680 Speaker 1: ravenously hungry must be really hard. Yeah, yeah, unbelievable. Well, 399 00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:50,399 Speaker 1: to get back to your question about the show, trials 400 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:53,720 Speaker 1: and executions and all that just reminds us I think 401 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:59,359 Speaker 1: that they're dead enders in hardcore Islamic extremists. Man, the 402 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:01,400 Speaker 1: list of we can go through a little bit later. 403 00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:04,840 Speaker 1: Some of the people that Israel has to let go, 404 00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:09,120 Speaker 1: I mean, just some horrible human beings. Oh yeah, it's 405 00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:11,920 Speaker 1: part of a bunch of life sentence guys as part 406 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:18,240 Speaker 1: of the exchange. So you give us somebody, some college 407 00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:24,760 Speaker 1: girl you snatched at a outdoor concert, raped and tortured, 408 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:29,120 Speaker 1: will give you back five people that blew up Israeli 409 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:32,680 Speaker 1: buses and a bunch of innocents. Okay, that's a fair swap. 410 00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:34,520 Speaker 1: But that's that's the way they do it in Israel. 411 00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:38,880 Speaker 1: It's part of their Jewish law. Well, they cherish life 412 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:41,639 Speaker 1: and believe it's a sacred thing to have the body 413 00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:46,480 Speaker 1: back and bury it. The Islamic extremists embrace death. They 414 00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:52,639 Speaker 1: want it, they love martyrdom. So yeah, that's the Israelis 415 00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:56,760 Speaker 1: have so much less leverage in that sort of negotiation. 416 00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 1: It's just it's interesting. Yeah, I'd say, you hope some 417 00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:03,560 Speaker 1: of the bad guys don't become household names in six 418 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 1: months or six years like old Sinwar did. He was 419 00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:08,960 Speaker 1: one of the hostages released last time around, and he 420 00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:14,080 Speaker 1: orchestrated the whole October seventh, thing right right, well, to 421 00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:17,159 Speaker 1: neutralize that, and a lot of them you'll never neutralize. 422 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,919 Speaker 1: They will be and do exactly what you're suggesting. But 423 00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:24,919 Speaker 1: the tweeners, the wobblers, the guys who might go that 424 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:29,360 Speaker 1: route or might not. If this coalition of no, we're 425 00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:32,600 Speaker 1: done with that. Let's do deals, make peace and bring 426 00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:37,200 Speaker 1: you know, And it's funny we haven't gotten to this 427 00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:43,159 Speaker 1: part of the discussion until now. Bring happiness and prosperity 428 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:48,960 Speaker 1: and education and open shops and people walking down the 429 00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:52,440 Speaker 1: streets and cheerly greeting their neighbors in the Middle East. 430 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:56,159 Speaker 1: There's no reason that shouldn't be happening except for a 431 00:26:56,200 --> 00:27:02,320 Speaker 1: while Islamic extremists and handful of other factors. Alec Baldwin 432 00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:06,520 Speaker 1: crashed his range Rover yesterday.

But uh, I just came across the video 492 00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:00,479 Speaker 1: of Hamas execute and eight dudes this morning who had 493 00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:02,840 Speaker 1: obviously been beaten.

Yeah, well more 497 00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:16,880 Speaker 1: to say on that topic. Really interesting. Here is your 498 00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:19,400 Speaker 1: freedom loving quote of the day, sent along by Doctor 499 00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:22,520 Speaker 1: Joe and Reno. Well done, doctor Joe. 500 00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:31,960 Speaker 3: It's from Michael oakshot from his essay rationalism in politics, 501 00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:35,000 Speaker 3: which I was not familiar with. 502 00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:37,840 Speaker 1: But I'm going to pursue this. One's a little wordy, 503 00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:43,000 Speaker 1: so hang in there. I'll do my best. The superiority 504 00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:46,920 Speaker 1: or victory of an ideology over a tradition of thought 505 00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:50,480 Speaker 1: lies in its appearance of being self contained. It can 506 00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:54,440 Speaker 1: best be taught to those minds who are empty. And 507 00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:56,480 Speaker 1: if it is to be taught to one who already 508 00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:59,360 Speaker 1: believes something, the first step of the teacher must be 509 00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:02,680 Speaker 1: to administer a purge, to make certain that all prejudices 510 00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:06,240 Speaker 1: and preconceptions are removed, to lay his foundation upon the 511 00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:11,880 Speaker 1: unshakable rock of absolute ignorance. Oh wow. In other or 512 00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:15,560 Speaker 1: a shorter version of that would be that's why they 513 00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:19,800 Speaker 1: always go for the children and the young people, Because 514 00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:24,120 Speaker 1: if you're going to convince someone your ideology is better 515 00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:28,440 Speaker 1: than all that's gone before it and all that's proven 516 00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:32,280 Speaker 1: to be true, it's best taught to those whose minds 517 00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:35,680 Speaker 1: are empty. Otherwise it's going to butt up against what's true. 518 00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:38,520 Speaker 1: That's a wordy, but it's a good point. Thank you, 519 00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:43,320 Speaker 1: doctor Joe. Mailbag right to us, would you please. The 520 00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:46,320 Speaker 1: email address is Mailbag at Armstrong and Getty dot com. 521 00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:49,560 Speaker 1: First your mem of the day, sent along by Joel. 522 00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:54,400 Speaker 1: It's a picture of Christopher Columbus and it says, here's 523 00:31:54,400 --> 00:32:00,720 Speaker 1: the Christopher Columbus, the only illegal immigrant the left ever hated. Uh, 524 00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:04,480 Speaker 1: Columbus Day. I don't get it. I don't get why 525 00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:07,480 Speaker 1: it's still a thing. Not because I think he was 526 00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:10,400 Speaker 1: some sort of evil settler colonials or something like that. 527 00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:15,400 Speaker 1: I just don't understand why it's holiday mark. Right, Welcome back, slackers, 528 00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:19,720 Speaker 1: Columbus Day to whatever. We're all out getting it done Monday. Well, 529 00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:21,880 Speaker 1: you were off being soft, taken a day you gotta 530 00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:24,840 Speaker 1: stay frosty, show up. You start riding the sled of 531 00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:28,040 Speaker 1: superfluous holiday observance. You might as well just punch your card. 532 00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:31,520 Speaker 1: I wish I could have taken the day off. I 533 00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:33,280 Speaker 1: thought I would join the other smart asses. How do 534 00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:36,520 Speaker 1: you spell that? Mark? Beautiful? Wow? Grady email, I think 535 00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:38,440 Speaker 1: that is the first time we ever took Columbus Day off. 536 00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:42,400 Speaker 1: And what's next? Arbor Day? National Hamburger Day? A right, 537 00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:44,960 Speaker 1: Wait a minute, I can't say it any better than him. 538 00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:48,440 Speaker 1: You start riding the sled of superfluous holiday observance, you 539 00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:51,760 Speaker 1: might as well just punch your card. Oh, my god, 540 00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:53,880 Speaker 1: this is one of my favorite emails of all time. Mark, 541 00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:58,120 Speaker 1: That's funny. Honestly, we've never taken Columbus Day off because 542 00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:02,680 Speaker 1: it's a stupid holiday. But Michael Michelangelo was off celebrating 543 00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:06,200 Speaker 1: his anniversary and various folks kids were off school, and 544 00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:08,600 Speaker 1: we thought, dah, what the heck? Michael, because he is 545 00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:13,720 Speaker 1: of Italian descent, got married on Columbus Day. That's right, yeah, yeah, 546 00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:17,080 Speaker 1: a beautiful tribute to the great man Michael. Moving along, 547 00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:21,520 Speaker 1: Brian said, right right, Well, Michael is a big fan 548 00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:25,160 Speaker 1: of his wife and genocide. Everybody knows that. Let's see, 549 00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:28,200 Speaker 1: Brian with a nice note, social media use is dropping. 550 00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:30,640 Speaker 1: For the first time, I viewed this as good news, 551 00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:33,160 Speaker 1: which means you probably won't mention it on the air 552 00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:35,760 Speaker 1: since you two covet the title of the most depressing 553 00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:42,520 Speaker 1: radio show ever. Well, well, Brian, my friend, you think 554 00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:45,080 Speaker 1: you're going to wander in here and like push us around. 555 00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:48,280 Speaker 1: You're a child, Brian, a child. You just got in 556 00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:52,240 Speaker 1: the boxing ring with Mike Tyson. Here's why social media 557 00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:57,800 Speaker 1: use is down. Posting is down because the poor brainwashed 558 00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:01,360 Speaker 1: kids find it too much. It takes too much effort, 559 00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:04,480 Speaker 1: so they just lie there slack jawed and glassy eyed, 560 00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:09,680 Speaker 1: and scroll and scroll and scroll. That's why social media 561 00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:12,719 Speaker 1: uses down. So posting is down, but like reading it 562 00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:15,920 Speaker 1: and getting your news from it is not down. Yeah, okay, 563 00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:20,719 Speaker 1: that's interesting. Yeah again, you bring your joy in here, Brian. No, 564 00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:24,440 Speaker 1: it's gonna get its ass kicked. Joe Getty. Yeah yeah. 565 00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:26,840 Speaker 1: Cold war, Yeah, we has nothing to do with the 566 00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:29,520 Speaker 1: Cold War. We do not allow good news around here. 567 00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:40,160 Speaker 1: Joe Getty, kill joy. Let's see interesting thought here from Paolo. Guys, 568 00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:42,640 Speaker 1: let's not get carried away with enthusiasm over the Middle 569 00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:45,640 Speaker 1: East situation. He said the remaining hostages were of little 570 00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:48,719 Speaker 1: value to Hamas. They were not preventing Israel from doing 571 00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:52,880 Speaker 1: anything they thought they needed to do militarily. Hamas has 572 00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:56,359 Speaker 1: seated nothing of real value to themselves. They need to 573 00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:59,359 Speaker 1: disarm and relinquish any governing part. I think the only 574 00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:06,000 Speaker 1: thing you're missing, Paolo, is that the eternal, unshakable support 575 00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:10,200 Speaker 1: that the various Islamist extremists were getting from the air 576 00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:14,520 Speaker 1: of world is going away. It's practically Iran and nobody 577 00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:18,640 Speaker 1: and Trump has just made some big overtures to Urran. 578 00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:22,719 Speaker 1: But you're right, Hamas are are dead enders and lunatics, 579 00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:31,800 Speaker 1: then perhaps our most rigorous, learned and willing to devote 580 00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:37,040 Speaker 1: a crapload of time. Correspondent JT and beautiful Livermore, California says, 581 00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:40,480 Speaker 1: just planning the seed. Trump is on track to be 582 00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:44,880 Speaker 1: the third greatest POTUS of all time. Obviously, it's too early, 583 00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:47,319 Speaker 1: given that Trump is only four months and nine four years, 584 00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:49,839 Speaker 1: nine months into his full eight years. Additionally, a lot 585 00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:54,240 Speaker 1: depends on how you define great or greatest. But that said, 586 00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:59,280 Speaker 1: here's a thumbnail list of Trump's monumental achievements. Kennedyate Trump 587 00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:01,480 Speaker 1: was the first significant politicians to sound the alarm on 588 00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:05,319 Speaker 1: the problems with China. By contrast, Biden didn't even see 589 00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:07,680 Speaker 1: China as a competitor to the US. Trump built a 590 00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:11,759 Speaker 1: roaring economy only derailed by COVID. I'm summarizing some of these. 591 00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:15,040 Speaker 1: Trump excelled in foreign policy during his first term, taming 592 00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:19,080 Speaker 1: North Korea, briefly, orderly, draw down in Afghanistan, decimated isis. 593 00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:22,239 Speaker 1: There's a long, long list. And then the stuff of 594 00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:25,840 Speaker 1: the second term drove Rosie O'Donnell out of the country. Oh, 595 00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:28,800 Speaker 1: perhaps his greatest achievement, and he appeared to be politically 596 00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:31,240 Speaker 1: dead in January twenty twenty in stage the greatest comeback 597 00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:34,520 Speaker 1: perhaps in the history of politics, anywhere, anytime. Well, that's 598 00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:36,440 Speaker 1: not a perhaps, that's a for certain. Oh, we got 599 00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:37,640 Speaker 1: a lot of other stuff on the way too. If 600 00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:39,680 Speaker 1: you miss it, get the podcast Armstrong and Getty on 601 00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:42,360 Speaker 1: demand Armstrong and Getty
