Authority 7 00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:36,400 Speaker 2: say Woods was speeding and overtook a truck on a 8 00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:38,760 Speaker 2: two lane road. Woods was not hurt in the crash, 9 00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:41,760 Speaker 2: and police say he passed a breathalyzer test, but refused 10 00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:44,800 Speaker 2: to let officers take a blood or urine sample, suspecting 11 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:48,080 Speaker 2: Woods was impaired. Investigators say he was placed under arrest, 12 00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:50,440 Speaker 2: now at least the fourth time he's been involved in 13 00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,360 Speaker 2: a vehicle related crash or arrest. It's the second time 14 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:55,800 Speaker 2: he's been charged with DUI and the second time he's 15 00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,440 Speaker 2: been involved in a rollover crash four times. 16 00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:02,000 Speaker 3: Can we do agree to have fun with this before 17 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,959 Speaker 3: we get serious about it, because otherwise it turns serious 18 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:05,920 Speaker 3: very quickly. 19 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:09,200 Speaker 1: And then end with a little extra fun. But so 20 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:10,240 Speaker 1: it's not depressing. 21 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 3: The first thing I thought when I saw this break 22 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 3: on Friday, was why didn't this happen while we were 23 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 3: on the air down because I wanted to get into 24 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:23,840 Speaker 3: all the speculation, because surely everybody realized the moment they 25 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 3: heard Tiger Woods had rolled his truck again, you thought 26 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,319 Speaker 3: she's he was fed up? Of course he was, and 27 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 3: any any hint that maybe he wasn't your what please? 28 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:36,560 Speaker 1: Oh my god? 29 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,400 Speaker 3: And then then him standing alongside the road. Who do 30 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:41,400 Speaker 3: we know who he called yet, the TMZ or anybody 31 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:45,120 Speaker 3: come back? Because he's standing there with this suv on 32 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 3: its side, well key, with. 33 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 1: Somebody defense attorneys on his favorites list. But he's first 34 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 1: of all, he's huge. 35 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 3: You know way more about Tiger Woods than I do 36 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 3: because I don't follow golf, but he's huge. 37 00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 1: And I thought, I. 38 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,600 Speaker 3: Thought that guy looks like an NFL football player. He 39 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:05,120 Speaker 3: hit the ball so far when he was a skinny guy, 40 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 3: they had to change courses. Why did he decide to 41 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 3: get as big as an NFL football player. It's a 42 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,520 Speaker 3: long story, but partly I think he is. So he's 43 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:18,400 Speaker 3: one of those people who's so incredibly relentlessly driven. It's 44 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 3: like a demon on his shoulder that never leaves him alone. 45 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,079 Speaker 1: And he had mastered the world of golf. He was 46 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 1: the best golfer on the planet. He was a zillionaire, 47 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 1: and he became obsessed with becoming a Navy seal, and 48 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,400 Speaker 1: he blew out his knee and and so he's just 49 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,959 Speaker 1: he's a fitness freak. So he gets as big as 50 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 1: he can get. 51 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:38,960 Speaker 3: You look like you're chomping in the bit to say something, Katie. 52 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:41,959 Speaker 3: Oh no, I'm sending I'm sending you guys a meme. 53 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 3: That particular picture of him on the phone. He looks 54 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 3: like he's trying to do the backing into the bush 55 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 3: like Homer Simpson. 56 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 1: He does, he really does. 57 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:51,639 Speaker 4: Well. 58 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 1: You gotta go back. 59 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:54,800 Speaker 3: I remember at the time talking about it is one 60 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 3: of the great falls in media history. I mean, it's 61 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 3: up there with oj Simpson and Michael Jackson. I mean, 62 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,640 Speaker 3: people who fall from such a high level to such 63 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 3: a low level. Starting with the backing out of the 64 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 3: driveway into the fire hydrant, his wife beating the windshield 65 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 3: up of the car with the golf club. I mean, 66 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 3: that was a good one. Then that was all about 67 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:20,079 Speaker 3: the affair and the boozing and drinking and pilling. 68 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, we're not gonna turn it serious yet not 69 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,919 Speaker 1: quite yet.

Everybody has the same reaction. Get a damn 72 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 1: show for you know, good time. But I know here's 73 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 1: why he doesn't want to do it. He doesn't want 74 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 1: employees to quote watch over him or know what he 75 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 1: is doing. According to a source close to Tiger, he's 76 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 1: so obsessed with his privacy he doesn't want anyone to 77 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 1: know where he is. 78 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 3: Man's part of it, I know, addicts and drunks.

It's interesting too because 172 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 1: I know some current and member and current current and 173 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 1: retired members of the big time golf media, and you 174 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:46,040 Speaker 1: just didn't report this stuff on Tiger because you wanted access. 175 00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:50,720 Speaker 1: There's a whole it's almost almost like the old timey 176 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 1: sports journalist thing where you're very careful about digging up 177 00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 1: dirt because if you are seen as an attack dog 178 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 1: or a mucker. You get pushed to the periphery. Well, 179 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,200 Speaker 1: if that's over with Tiger now, it's just it's open season. 180 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 3: I think it was even different than because you know, 181 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:11,679 Speaker 3: reporting on Mickey Mantle's boozing, which people didn't do. At 182 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:16,440 Speaker 3: the time, Tiger was the sport. I mean, all of 183 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:20,680 Speaker 3: the eyeballs and the money. Everybody was making more money, 184 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,560 Speaker 3: you know, advertising writers, everybody. 185 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:27,560 Speaker 1: You wouldn't want to interrupt that, correct, It's a great, 186 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 1: great point to tell the world that he's cheating on 187 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:30,600 Speaker 1: his wife. 188 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:32,680 Speaker 3: Now all of a sudden, fewer people are reading my 189 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 3: articles and whatever website I'm on. 190 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,560 Speaker 1: Why would I want to do that? Yeah, and that 191 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:38,679 Speaker 1: he's a pill head and the rest of it has 192 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 1: at least a couple of addictions. 193 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 3: It's outrageous. If he doesn't go to jail for a 194 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 3: certain period of time, he is going to freaking hurt somebody. 195 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:54,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know, I don't know how this works. 196 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 1: Is it's still a possibility he could get into some 197 00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,960 Speaker 1: diversion program if he pledges to go to rehab with 198 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:03,600 Speaker 1: people think is like some sort of magical power that 199 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 1: cures people when usually it doesn't. 200 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 3: Uh, well, he's got so much money to throw at this. 201 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:16,040 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, he would have. He could. He could 202 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:19,640 Speaker 1: reproduce a different Ojay's Dream Team every day of the 203 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 1: week for his trial. With his money, He's worth at 204 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:27,199 Speaker 1: least one point five billion dollars. So you know, if 205 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,120 Speaker 1: it's conceivable to get off, he will here. Not get 206 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,679 Speaker 1: off completely, that won't happen, but avoid jail. 207 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:36,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, he'll get some sort of community pretend community service, 208 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,200 Speaker 3: which he won't really have to do anything embarrassing, and 209 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,840 Speaker 3: he won't go to jail, that'd be my guess. Yeah, 210 00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,440 Speaker 3: and he'll go to some super fancy rehab where he 211 00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 3: just sits around and you know, watches TV and reads. 212 00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 1: Books and they leave his pills, does some. 213 00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 3: Sort of interview about how he takes full responsibility, and 214 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,719 Speaker 3: he'll continue to do pills and drive. Would be my guess. 215 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,240 Speaker 1: That would be the high percentage play. That'd be the 216 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:02,280 Speaker 1: most likely thing that happens, which is disgusting. We do 217 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,199 Speaker 1: need to talk about what's going on with Iran. 218 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 3: We're getting closer and closer to ground troops and all 219 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 3: that sort of stuff every single hour. 220 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 1: Lot on the way. I hope you can stay here 221 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 1: are strong? He did you first see a deal? On 222 00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:16,720 Speaker 1: I run as upcoming week? 223 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:22,000 Speaker 3: I just see a deal, could be sure. That's Donald 224 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:23,839 Speaker 3: Trump on the Air Force one last night, did a 225 00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,840 Speaker 3: little interview about Iran, and you got a lot of 226 00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,600 Speaker 3: tongues wagging and ink spilled if they still used ink 227 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 3: to write newspapers on paper, mostly with talk of we're 228 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:39,439 Speaker 3: negotiating and things are going well, and nobody's exactly sure 229 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:43,720 Speaker 3: who we're negotiating with, although Pakistan says that they're a 230 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:48,800 Speaker 3: go between the United States and whoever the people are 231 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:50,839 Speaker 3: in Iran that we're talking to. 232 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:55,040 Speaker 1: Right. A number of interesting developments, including the Huthies have 233 00:11:55,400 --> 00:12:01,680 Speaker 1: joined the FRAY, which is an interesting strategy on their part. 234 00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:03,760 Speaker 1: I wonder whether the I or GC told them, hey, 235 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:05,959 Speaker 1: you're gonna help us now or you're never going to 236 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,400 Speaker 1: see another dime or another bullet from US. Entirely possible. 237 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:13,839 Speaker 1: The US the whole problem with sending million dollar patriots 238 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:17,200 Speaker 1: after ten thousand dollars rockets. We've got a number of 239 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 1: innovative startups in the country working on cheaper alternatives, which 240 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,360 Speaker 1: is great, let's turn our creativity on this thing. 241 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, or drones that cost hundreds of dollars. That was 242 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:28,880 Speaker 3: the focus of sixty minutes last night. Really need to 243 00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:33,679 Speaker 3: talk about that later. Oh and next segment the hundreds 244 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:38,719 Speaker 3: thousands of Iranians that got across the border during the 245 00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:42,160 Speaker 3: Biden administration sleeper cells. That was a lot of the 246 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:45,320 Speaker 3: talk in the security world over the weekend, and we'll 247 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:46,280 Speaker 3: touch on that story. 248 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:50,199 Speaker 1: Hello, one more lovely legacy of the Biden years. And 249 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,440 Speaker 1: final thing I'd like to get to eventually is and 250 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 1: I wish there were a better metaphor. Maybe instead of 251 00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:03,440 Speaker 1: grabbing them by their male external genitals, perhaps say wrapping 252 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:08,959 Speaker 1: an arm around their windpipe, seizing carg Island and bringing 253 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:13,719 Speaker 1: their energy sector under our control would be seize them 254 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:17,760 Speaker 1: and seizing them by their gonads. And that's why that 255 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,360 Speaker 1: might be so valuable at target. So we'll get to 256 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:21,120 Speaker 1: that eventually. 257 00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:25,400 Speaker 3: So carg Island is the gonads of the country essentially. 258 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, In fact, it's you know, it's outside the body 259 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:33,520 Speaker 1: of Iran. It's very sensitive and can be grabbed easily 260 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:37,559 Speaker 1: if you're in the right position. But first, I found 261 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:39,760 Speaker 1: this so interesting. I've been trying to describe this. This 262 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:41,719 Speaker 1: is a bit more thorough and scholarly version of what 263 00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:45,800 Speaker 1: I've been trying to tell you. But Iran's cohesion, whether 264 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:50,760 Speaker 1: they're security apparatus or whatever support the regime has, isn't 265 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 1: solely held together by religious cultists, dead enders, true believers 266 00:13:56,200 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 1: like we've been talking about, hardcore is limits. It's under 267 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 1: pinned and I'm going to quote now a piece from 268 00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:06,079 Speaker 1: the Wall Street Journal by a system of economic incentives 269 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,880 Speaker 1: that make the regimes collapse a direct threat to the 270 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:14,839 Speaker 1: livelihood of so many of the supporters, including the IRGC 271 00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:19,440 Speaker 1: has one hundred and twenty five thousand paid personnel. They 272 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:22,280 Speaker 1: are not an army, They're an army and to corporation. 273 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:27,080 Speaker 1: They dominate the oil and gas industries. They dominate construction 274 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:33,240 Speaker 1: in Iran, they dominate telecommunications. The IRGC is AT and 275 00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:39,040 Speaker 1: T their shell oil there. You know, pick your biggest 276 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 1: construction firms, both commercial, infrastructure and housing if you can 277 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 1: picture that. Yeah. I've been reading. 278 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:50,640 Speaker 3: About Iran for decades and several books that were fantastic and. 279 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:54,320 Speaker 1: The word of the day inscrutable. 280 00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:59,680 Speaker 3: Nobody has ever really completely understood the power structure in Iran, 281 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 3: which just kind of a mishmash of olive arts, kleptocracts, kleptocrats, Islamists, 282 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:11,080 Speaker 3: and they just have made it work somehow over half 283 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:14,760 Speaker 3: a century brutality. Yeah, the money. 284 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,960 Speaker 1: Since it's founding, the Islamic Republican has built built a 285 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 1: tentacled ecosystem that controls more than half of the economy. 286 00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:25,960 Speaker 1: Good lord, more than half. That's why their economy sucks. 287 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:29,160 Speaker 1: Central control doesn't work and acts as a powerful protection 288 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:32,440 Speaker 1: policy for the regime. It rewards loyalists with cash and 289 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,760 Speaker 1: careers and other opportunities in exchange for crushing descent and 290 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,800 Speaker 1: staying true to the regime. The depth of the social 291 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 1: and economic contract is helping the regime maintain cohesion in 292 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:45,680 Speaker 1: spite of the war. Only twenty percent of Iranians support 293 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:49,680 Speaker 1: the regime, but they constitute that twenty percent or more 294 00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:54,280 Speaker 1: cohesive block than the opposition, binding the ruling clerics, as 295 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:59,160 Speaker 1: Jack was describing, the paramilitary forces and civilians with economic interests, 296 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,800 Speaker 1: and the system will make it very hard to convince 297 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 1: those who profit from it to turn against the regime. 298 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:09,440 Speaker 1: According to this extremely knowledgeable talking Headfella. 299 00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:12,280 Speaker 3: It's kind of the opposite of like Saudi Arabia, where 300 00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:15,120 Speaker 3: the House of Sad was in charge. The princes get 301 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:18,760 Speaker 3: to roll around in Bentley's and you know, live that lifestyle. 302 00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:23,640 Speaker 3: And they got to keep the crazies, the Wihabi Muslim crazies, 303 00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,200 Speaker 3: you know, pretend like they believe they're weirdss and everything 304 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:29,320 Speaker 3: like that to stay in power in Iran. The crazies 305 00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:33,560 Speaker 3: are in charge, right, and the people making all the 306 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,640 Speaker 3: money are underneath them, and probably a lot of them 307 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,280 Speaker 3: pretending they believe the weird beards and their. 308 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,479 Speaker 1: Nut job stuff exactly. And if you get your passports 309 00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:44,520 Speaker 1: stamped with us, I'm down with the regime. I'm with 310 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:47,520 Speaker 1: the regime. Your kid gets into the good universities, you 311 00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:50,160 Speaker 1: get access to dollars, if you want to invest or spend, 312 00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:57,080 Speaker 1: you get better mortgage rates. Wow. Yeah, tentacles my friends, 313 00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:58,720 Speaker 1: reaching deep into society. 314 00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,880 Speaker 3: Do we have Iranians sleeper cells in the country? 315 00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 1: Boy? 316 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:06,239 Speaker 3: That's a heck of an interesting story that burbled up 317 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,640 Speaker 3: over the weekend. Also, learn some stuff about the straight 318 00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:10,080 Speaker 3: of horror moves I did not know that. I think 319 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:11,640 Speaker 3: you'll find interesting On the way. 320 00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:17,800 Speaker 4: Armstrong and Getty realize that there are a lot of 321 00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:20,720 Speaker 4: individuals in this country that have entered that want to 322 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:23,399 Speaker 4: cause harm to Americans, that want to cause harm to 323 00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:27,480 Speaker 4: our country, and amongst those, several of them would have 324 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:31,879 Speaker 4: terrorist ties with different terrorist organizations throughout the world. 325 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 3: Do we have a bunch of Iranians sleeper cells in 326 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:42,040 Speaker 3: the United States waiting for the order? I gotta say, 327 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:45,280 Speaker 3: I'm very, very skeptical of the idea. We're about to 328 00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:47,400 Speaker 3: hear a report that lays out reasons why. 329 00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:48,960 Speaker 1: I shouldn't be skeptical. 330 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:53,960 Speaker 3: It's just my skepticisms mostly around what would you be 331 00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 3: waiting for? How bad would things have to get before 332 00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:00,359 Speaker 3: you would launch your sleeper cell attack. I mean, it 333 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,880 Speaker 3: just seems pretty crazy to me that no, not yet, 334 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:09,560 Speaker 3: not yet? What we got another tracking question? 335 00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:11,000 Speaker 1: You got another aircraft. 336 00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:13,640 Speaker 3: Carrier coming over there in more Marines, And wow, wait 337 00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:16,479 Speaker 3: till they really start bombing us and killing our leaders, 338 00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:19,920 Speaker 3: then we'll turn it around with a couple of terror 339 00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:23,200 Speaker 3: cell attacks. Anyway, let's hear this report from News Nation, 340 00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:24,679 Speaker 3: because it's pretty interesting to. 341 00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:28,920 Speaker 5: Alty, say, roughly fifteen hundred Iranian nationals or stopped at 342 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:31,919 Speaker 5: the border during the Biden administration, but it's the unknown 343 00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:35,400 Speaker 5: number of so called guidaways that has officials. 344 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:36,040 Speaker 1: Sounding the alarm our. 345 00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,480 Speaker 5: Reporting shows, you know, many from Iran are willing to 346 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:41,359 Speaker 5: pay tens of thousands of dollars their criminal networks like 347 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:45,080 Speaker 5: Cartel Link coyotes to get them across the border. I 348 00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:47,879 Speaker 5: mean even just last summer, News Nation reported one hundred 349 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:51,240 Speaker 5: and thirty Iranian nationals were arrested in one week alone 350 00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:52,840 Speaker 5: for trying to enter the. 351 00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:56,040 Speaker 3: US illegally, and lots of lots of were let in. 352 00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,080 Speaker 3: He goes on the Trump administration. 353 00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:01,800 Speaker 5: You know, they've warned about potential Iranian infiltration as early 354 00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:04,800 Speaker 5: as last summer, saying the likelihood of an attack by 355 00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:09,359 Speaker 5: Iranian backed extremists in the US would increase if Iron's 356 00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:13,679 Speaker 5: leadership called for itsallatory violence against the US and Israel. 357 00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,680 Speaker 3: So I'm of two minds on this that are in 358 00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:19,840 Speaker 3: conflict to my one mind saying, and I said this 359 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,040 Speaker 3: at the time over and over again when our borders 360 00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:26,760 Speaker 3: were poorous. If Iran and China aren't getting people in 361 00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:31,439 Speaker 3: here now there, they should be charged with malpractice. 362 00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:32,760 Speaker 1: We have an open border. 363 00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 3: They have all kinds of reasons to have bad people 364 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:36,320 Speaker 3: in our country. 365 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:40,199 Speaker 1: Now's the time. You'd be crazy to not do it. 366 00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:42,840 Speaker 1: China has many thousands in the country, of. 367 00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:45,439 Speaker 3: Course they do. But are they sleeper cells or spies 368 00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:45,840 Speaker 3: or whatever. 369 00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:46,199 Speaker 1: We don't know. 370 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:50,560 Speaker 3: But Iran different story only because of my logic problem 371 00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:53,440 Speaker 3: that I can't imagine if you've got a sleeper sell 372 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:57,719 Speaker 3: that and you think that, I don't understand how you 373 00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:00,800 Speaker 3: would think that some sort of Iranian attack on anything 374 00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:02,360 Speaker 3: in the United States is going to help your cause. 375 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:06,439 Speaker 3: Any Trump would absolutely just unleash holy hell on you. 376 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:09,080 Speaker 1: But what would you be waiting for? 377 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:11,600 Speaker 3: What's your timing? It doesn't make any sense at all. 378 00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:14,280 Speaker 3: As I said before, that's a really intriguing question. 379 00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:18,200 Speaker 1: I'm thinking back to what was uncovered about a couple 380 00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:21,640 Speaker 1: of different Iranian plots, including the one to assassinate Trump, 381 00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:27,560 Speaker 1: and assuming that we got, you know, reasonably accurate coverage. 382 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:29,439 Speaker 1: I know some of this got to be classified, but 383 00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:34,959 Speaker 1: assuming we got decently accurate coverage, it seemed to be hapless, 384 00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:39,240 Speaker 1: hapless and idiotic. One of those you know, like the 385 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:43,919 Speaker 1: half wit scheme to you know, rub somebody out in 386 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:47,520 Speaker 1: that damn Tiger King show. It kind of had that 387 00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:48,920 Speaker 1: feel to it, right. 388 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 3: The guy goes to a strip club, he gets drunk 389 00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:52,840 Speaker 3: and forgets he was supposed to do. 390 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:54,760 Speaker 1: It, and then decides, I'm not going to go anywhere 391 00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:59,200 Speaker 1: and kill any on This is stupid and given the 392 00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:03,280 Speaker 1: utter brute and effectiveness of holding on to power domestically, 393 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:08,080 Speaker 1: I don't want to underestimate these people. But wow, I 394 00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:10,000 Speaker 1: don't know the answer to that question. That's a good question. 395 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:13,800 Speaker 3: I was from News Nation, not from Fox. 396 00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 1: I will tell you this, and I think most people 397 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:19,600 Speaker 1: encounter terrorism would agree with me. And if your encounter 398 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:22,159 Speaker 1: terrorism will certainly keep you anonymous, let us know if 399 00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:25,280 Speaker 1: you agree, email mail bag at Armstrong and Geddi dot com. 400 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,040 Speaker 1: I think they would say the greater threat is from 401 00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:33,960 Speaker 1: the tens of thousands of would be jihades or pliable 402 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:38,560 Speaker 1: alienated young males from Muslim countries who might seize on 403 00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:42,359 Speaker 1: this conflict as an excuse to strike back at the 404 00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:46,800 Speaker 1: Great Satan, not directly sponsored or directed by Tehran, but 405 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:48,600 Speaker 1: just you know, wanting to do it on their own. 406 00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:51,080 Speaker 3: Maybe we'll talk about this more or later. The Wall 407 00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:56,160 Speaker 3: Street Journal with sources close to the President telling them 408 00:21:56,240 --> 00:22:01,120 Speaker 3: that he's really considering a military seizure of that one 409 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:05,880 Speaker 3: thousand pounds of or uranium, and it's laid out on 410 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:10,360 Speaker 3: what that would take. It could take many weeks and 411 00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:12,719 Speaker 3: lots of people we talked about that a little bit 412 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:15,560 Speaker 3: with Mike Lions, because you need to get to the site, 413 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:19,120 Speaker 3: secure the site, bring in all kinds of like excavation 414 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:22,960 Speaker 3: equipment and everything like that, and do all the digging 415 00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:25,520 Speaker 3: while protecting that site. 416 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:26,200 Speaker 1: Yeah. 417 00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:29,119 Speaker 3: I mean, if Iran can be shooting rockets, you know, 418 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,959 Speaker 3: twelve hundred miles away, they certainly got plenty of opportunities 419 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:34,760 Speaker 3: to shoot rockets into their own country. 420 00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:37,639 Speaker 1: Yeah, at some point, maybe as it gets closer, we 421 00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:40,359 Speaker 1: ought to get into the question of retrieving that stuff 422 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:42,960 Speaker 1: in depth, because then there's the transporting of it, which 423 00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:48,439 Speaker 1: is no simple task. It's extremely dangerous and volatile. But 424 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:51,120 Speaker 1: here are a couple of headlines worth seeing. This one 425 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:53,199 Speaker 1: and I keep saying, I'm going to feature this on 426 00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:55,360 Speaker 1: the show every day, and maybe we just need a slot. 427 00:22:56,440 --> 00:23:00,439 Speaker 1: There is a publication slash website known as the Defense News, 428 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:05,439 Speaker 1: which is all about United States military news all the 429 00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:08,440 Speaker 1: branches and I get their early bird brief every day. 430 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:14,080 Speaker 1: In their top headline today is Pentagon reportedly preparing for 431 00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:18,200 Speaker 1: weeks of ground operations in Iran. We can talk more 432 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:21,720 Speaker 1: about that, But another headline is from the Wall Street 433 00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:27,240 Speaker 1: Journal or is it essentially the same headline? Oh yeah, 434 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:30,480 Speaker 1: I'm having a mouse problem. Maybe I should see a roologist. 435 00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:37,359 Speaker 1: Your cheese, I probably misplaced it knowing me. There is 436 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:40,639 Speaker 1: from the Washington Post. Pentagon prepares for weeks of ground 437 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:41,600 Speaker 1: operations in Iran. 438 00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, so here's something I learned about the straight of 439 00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:49,760 Speaker 3: Horror moves yesterday that I didn't know already. It takes 440 00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,240 Speaker 3: six to ten hours to get a ship through there. 441 00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:57,520 Speaker 3: This is to the difficulty of you know, actually having 442 00:23:57,640 --> 00:23:59,919 Speaker 3: opened up enough that it would be safe for ships 443 00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:03,120 Speaker 3: to want to go through. Six to ten hours. You're 444 00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:06,440 Speaker 3: going so slow through that whole thing, a sitting duck. 445 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,320 Speaker 3: And while people talk about it's so narrow, it's only 446 00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:12,960 Speaker 3: twenty miles wide. The shipping lane where it's deep enough 447 00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 3: that you can run your ship is only two miles wide. 448 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:21,439 Speaker 3: So you're going really really slow in a very tiny, little, 449 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:25,680 Speaker 3: well defined lane. And it's not in the middle either. 450 00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:28,560 Speaker 3: It's close to the Iran code that is very city 451 00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:33,159 Speaker 3: sitting ducky oh yeah, yeah, shooting gallery e. So we 452 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:37,440 Speaker 3: would have to have serious control of that thing to 453 00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:41,919 Speaker 3: make safe passage reasonable. So the most interesting thing over 454 00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:44,600 Speaker 3: the weekend to me that happened was the Houthi's engaging 455 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:48,520 Speaker 3: in the war again and they started attacking Israel. But 456 00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:51,240 Speaker 3: the concern is that they shut down the Red Sea. 457 00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:52,680 Speaker 3: I don't know if you remember this. We talked about 458 00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:54,800 Speaker 3: it a lot. They shut down the Red Sea traffic 459 00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:57,399 Speaker 3: for like two years. Why the world put up with that? 460 00:24:57,560 --> 00:24:59,320 Speaker 3: At the time, I was saying, why is the world 461 00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:01,000 Speaker 3: putting up with this? Why is the United States putting 462 00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:02,680 Speaker 3: up with us? Why's Europe putting up with it? Why 463 00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:05,199 Speaker 3: is anybody putting up with the Ragtag group, that is, 464 00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:07,880 Speaker 3: the Hoothies backed by Iran shutting down a Red Sea 465 00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:10,000 Speaker 3: because they're a real big part of the traffic too. 466 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,960 Speaker 3: But so if the Houthis did that to the Red 467 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:16,640 Speaker 3: Sea like they did a couple of years ago, at 468 00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:18,680 Speaker 3: the same time the Strait of horn Moves Is shut down, 469 00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:22,720 Speaker 3: twenty percent of international traffic, not just oil, of all 470 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:28,040 Speaker 3: kinds of shipping would stop, and almost all that going 471 00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:30,119 Speaker 3: back and forth between Asian Europe, and it would be 472 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:36,680 Speaker 3: almost instant worldwide, serious financial calamity if the Hoothies can 473 00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:38,879 Speaker 3: close down the Red Sea again. So I don't know 474 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:41,000 Speaker 3: if Europe at some point is going to decide, you know, 475 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:43,800 Speaker 3: this isn't good for our economy. I was just reading 476 00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:46,840 Speaker 3: the AP story that while the United States economy is 477 00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:49,000 Speaker 3: weathering the storm so far, for the most part, it's 478 00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:50,440 Speaker 3: really hurt in Europe. 479 00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:54,560 Speaker 1: Don't their leaders want to do something about this? Yes, 480 00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:57,200 Speaker 1: some of them do very much. But this gets back 481 00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:59,360 Speaker 1: to something you've been howling about for a very long time, 482 00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:01,480 Speaker 1: which is the fact that Europe has gotten so soft 483 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:04,560 Speaker 1: and weak because of our security umbrella. Well, this is 484 00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:09,919 Speaker 1: we are living right now with. What's the problem with that? Well, 485 00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:14,640 Speaker 1: what if, says the professor, some crazy conflict broke out 486 00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:19,880 Speaker 1: and Europe's health was desperately needed. But a they had weak, flabby, 487 00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:23,160 Speaker 1: hollowed out militaries, and to the extent that they wanted 488 00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:27,399 Speaker 1: to cooperate, their populace would not put up with any 489 00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,560 Speaker 1: draining of the giant welfare state to finance their military 490 00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:34,920 Speaker 1: built up. That is precisely what's happening in Europe right now. 491 00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:36,760 Speaker 3: I had to explain this whole thing to my son 492 00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:40,840 Speaker 3: because he was wondering about why European countries have universal 493 00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,679 Speaker 3: health care and why we don't. I made this very argument. 494 00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:47,040 Speaker 1: Macrone pulled up his panties the other day and announced 495 00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:50,520 Speaker 1: that France had to you know, beef up their military 496 00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:53,000 Speaker 1: and blah blah blah, and the country went crazy. They 497 00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:56,080 Speaker 1: tried if they try to, you know, raise the retirement 498 00:26:56,080 --> 00:27:01,080 Speaker 1: age from thirty to thirty one, runs freet smelt down. 499 00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:04,719 Speaker 1: You have giant demonstrations. Oh my god. The Brits are 500 00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:08,920 Speaker 1: dealing with the same things the Germans, similar as the 501 00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:13,800 Speaker 1: Germans are amore discipline society. Uh yeah, it's it's it's 502 00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:17,639 Speaker 1: precisely the case study that we've been, you know, saying, 503 00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:20,080 Speaker 1: would come along something. 504 00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:21,639 Speaker 3: Something we got to get to at some point. We 505 00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,359 Speaker 3: won't do it next because we need to lighten up. 506 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:32,480 Speaker 3: Francis did Benjamin Nett and Yahoo shut down Palm Sunday 507 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:37,200 Speaker 3: services for Christians? Oh over the weekend. Oh my god, 508 00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:41,399 Speaker 3: big story. And when I first heard it, I was 509 00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:46,320 Speaker 3: quite annoyed by it. But there are a bunch of 510 00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:49,040 Speaker 3: people trying to make it clear that that's not exactly 511 00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:52,040 Speaker 3: what happened. So let's not go further down the road 512 00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:55,520 Speaker 3: of trying to drive a wedge between Christians and Jews 513 00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:59,520 Speaker 3: and make this all spelled Tucker Carlson's cologne in this uh, 514 00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:01,399 Speaker 3: what's kind of interesting story seems to be more of 515 00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:03,880 Speaker 3: a rogue cop it actually did happen. The shutting down 516 00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:07,639 Speaker 3: the Palm Sunday services in Jerusalem at the whatever that 517 00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:10,760 Speaker 3: famous church is like most holy of holy churches. 518 00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:11,800 Speaker 1: I don't know how the. 519 00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:14,040 Speaker 3: Rock, I don't know how to say that word, the 520 00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:17,119 Speaker 3: holy sculptor sepulcher. 521 00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:19,200 Speaker 1: I can read it, but I. 522 00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:21,040 Speaker 3: Can't say it. But anyway, didn't get to do Palm 523 00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:23,480 Speaker 3: Sunday because there's been a lot of you know, attacks, 524 00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:25,800 Speaker 3: and we're worried about you.

But it seems 528 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,159 Speaker 3: to have been a rogue cop that did this or something, 529 00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:37,040 Speaker 3: not Benjamin Nett Yahou, and he's out apologizing. 530 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:38,320 Speaker 1: It's a pretty big deal. 531 00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:46,000 Speaker 3: Though, mmmuh politically anyway, more on that later, perhaps stay here. 532 00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:49,600 Speaker 6: Ba Tassar Now I head pick head and boos a 533 00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:50,400 Speaker 6: head of steel. 534 00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:54,240 Speaker 1: Bullens gets it.

Well, yeah they 574 00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:13,440 Speaker 1: are now. It was interesting just and look, I don't 575 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:15,240 Speaker 1: look at the world through the lens of race, but 576 00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:17,800 Speaker 1: I couldn't help but notice the other day Illinois was playing. 577 00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:20,400 Speaker 1: I can't remember who it was, it doesn't matter, but 578 00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:23,719 Speaker 1: there were like seven or eight white guys on the 579 00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:25,640 Speaker 1: court at any given moment. 580 00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:28,960 Speaker 3: Eastern European players with the fast pitch, fast twitch, muscle 581 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:32,080 Speaker 3: fiber that you have as a white Eastern European similar 582 00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:36,680 Speaker 3: to people that are black. Go figure nobody else that 583 00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:37,840 Speaker 3: for some reason, a. 584 00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:41,120 Speaker 1: Headful of corn fed midwestern white boys who could make 585 00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:43,200 Speaker 1: three pointers. But yeah, it was a lot of euros. 586 00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:50,320 Speaker 1: It's interesting. Yeah, anyway, there you go. He was at 587 00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:55,480 Speaker 1: coming up next hour, and this is, trust me, more 588 00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:57,760 Speaker 1: significant than it sounds and more interesting than it sounds. 589 00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:02,760 Speaker 1: Gavy knew some was talking about how California is not 590 00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:06,240 Speaker 1: actually a high tax state Texas and Florida. Well he 591 00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:09,240 Speaker 1: was lying, you tell because he was moving his mouth. 592 00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:13,640 Speaker 1: But the story behind it, the multiple ways they get 593 00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:16,880 Speaker 1: you and how that varies state by state, is really 594 00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:19,320 Speaker 1: interesting to me because people pay a lot of attention 595 00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:23,520 Speaker 1: to income tax, maybe property tax, but there's a lot 596 00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:23,880 Speaker 1: more than that. 597 00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:27,680 Speaker 3: Looks like our moon launches go for Wednesday. The weather 598 00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:30,320 Speaker 3: is clear and they've got the rocket ready to take 599 00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:31,960 Speaker 3: off and it's going to land. 600 00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:36,480 Speaker 1: That Artemis two rocket looks like a skyscraper. It looks 601 00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:39,320 Speaker 1: like the Empire State building on the launch padd It's enormous. 602 00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:41,560 Speaker 3: I did hear the news report yesterday and there was 603 00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:44,640 Speaker 3: a lot of it's the first African American woman, and. 604 00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:46,600 Speaker 1: I thought that didn't we get that? Can we get 605 00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:47,080 Speaker 1: away from that? 606 00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:49,840 Speaker 3: I thought that's what did end NASA In my mind 607 00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:53,560 Speaker 3: was that justk it became too focused on identity politics 608 00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:56,480 Speaker 3: and like the military and touting that all the time. 609 00:32:56,800 --> 00:33:00,320 Speaker 3: That doesn't spark people's imaginations like you think it done. 610 00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:01,479 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's funny. 611 00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:04,720 Speaker 3: I read an arraction about her space is very sparking 612 00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:08,120 Speaker 3: of the imagination. The first identity politic this or that. 613 00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:09,400 Speaker 3: You all think it's a big deal. 614 00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:13,440 Speaker 1: Nobody gives a crap. That is absolutely true. I'm not 615 00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:15,040 Speaker 1: sure if it was. It was probably the journal I 616 00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:17,400 Speaker 1: was reading. They were talking about who's going up on 617 00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:20,960 Speaker 1: this mission, and they talked about her qualifications and experience, 618 00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:23,720 Speaker 1: and I thought, wow, okay, she sounds impressive. 619 00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:26,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, pick the best astronauts. I don't care what they. 620 00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:31,040 Speaker 1: Are blanking undermining people. Yes, when you say he's the 621 00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:34,080 Speaker 1: first person with that shade of skin to go up, 622 00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:38,120 Speaker 1: and he's thinking, got a freaking PhD in astrophysics over here, 623 00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:40,160 Speaker 1: ain't about the color of my skin. A busted my 624 00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:40,840 Speaker 1: ass to get it. 625 00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:43,480 Speaker 3: Or religion or sexual orientation or whatever it was. I 626 00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:45,880 Speaker 3: don't remember. I heard one guy interviewed on the news 627 00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:51,240 Speaker 3: last night. He was asked are you scared something along 628 00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:54,960 Speaker 3: those lines, and he said, well, we're the only four 629 00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:58,280 Speaker 3: people currently on planet Earth trained to do this and 630 00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:00,120 Speaker 3: this is a mission we want to do, which I 631 00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:01,440 Speaker 3: thought was a cool answer. 632 00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:07,000 Speaker 1: Right, and I represent bi sexual left handed men everywhere. 633 00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:10,279 Speaker 3: They're going to go up there around the Moon to 634 00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:13,480 Speaker 3: the dark side. It will be the furthest human beings 635 00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:16,120 Speaker 3: have ever been from Earth ever, because they're going to 636 00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:17,920 Speaker 3: go around the outside of the Moon, which we've never 637 00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:22,799 Speaker 3: done before. Interest, I find that way more sparking my 638 00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:28,480 Speaker 3: imagination than any identity politics BS. So we've orbited the Moon, clearly, 639 00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:32,920 Speaker 3: but the trajectory of this one is different some farther. 640 00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:34,520 Speaker 1: Wow. All interesting. 641 00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:37,920 Speaker 3: Hi, I'm Katy Perry. Let's got of space. 642 00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:45,359 Speaker 1: You're speaking of meritocracy among astronauts, Katy Perry Wing. You're right. 643 00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:48,440 Speaker 3: We did orbit the Moon, but did we orbit only 644 00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:50,359 Speaker 3: the because we've never been to the dark side. That's 645 00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:52,520 Speaker 3: what they keep touting is that this is the biggest things. 646 00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:55,880 Speaker 3: Nobody's ever been on the dark side. So we've been 647 00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:58,160 Speaker 3: around the Moon one hundred and fifty times. But do 648 00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:00,920 Speaker 3: we only orbit it on the side that's bright or 649 00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:08,960 Speaker 3: that's impossible? There's some missing here. I have to look 650 00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:09,319 Speaker 3: that up. 651 00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:15,080 Speaker 1: I'll google. All thirteen famously went around and I'll claud it, clawed. 652 00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:16,200 Speaker 3: It figure out what's going on there. But anyway, it 653 00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:18,040 Speaker 3: launches on Wednesday and they'll be very exciting and then 654 00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:20,800 Speaker 3: it lands in the ocean right off of San Diego, 655 00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:22,319 Speaker 3: so maybe you all get to see it, some of you. 656 00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:24,360 Speaker 3: We got a lot more on the way through. Missus 657 00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:25,280 Speaker 3: sec Ma get the podcast. 658 00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:27,240 Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getty
