Speaker 1 (00:09):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
And Joe Katty Armstrong and Jackie and he arms wrong yet?
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Why remember actually asked complaining about what my workspace is
out of control?
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Right? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Now I needed to clean it today. I have so
much crap it covered up the microphone button. I couldn't
turn on my microphone.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Oh, you're a holder.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
You can't do your job properly if you've got so
much crap it's covering up your microphone button.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Michael Carl t LC or whoever does those shows these days,
radio hoarders like you're wanting to operate on somebody's heart,
but all your little pieces of equipment are covered in newspapers.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Here's a scalpel, nurse. Where's this guy? I think it's
under your old undershirts. Over there, you're a.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Stack of laundry. Hey, live from Studio C see Sanol.
It's a dimly lit room, all right, deeput them the
bowels of the Armstrong in Getty communication compounds so deep
down underground that a bunkerbuster could not get to it.
And today we are under the tutelage of our general manager.
Zoranmandani is Lomist socialist possibly next wayor of New York City.
(01:35):
There are two great tastes that go great together. Hey,
you got his lumbism in my socialism. You got socialism
in my Islamism.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Who wait a minute, wow, Uh, Well he's young and
charismatic and people like that.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
And young voters are stupid, stupid, stupid.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
I will make that case powerfully coming up. Stay with us,
that young people are stupid. That's gonna be argument.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Yes, young voter specifically, you know, honestly, and it's not
it's not a judgmental thing. It's a statement of fact
that I did not exclude myself nor my generation from
this assessment. There are political scams that.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Are as old as time.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Brute A Brutus tried them out to when running to
succeed Julius Caesar.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
That never happened. They're as old is the Roman.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Republic scams you run to full particularly young voters. For instance,
the you know your rents high because landlords are greedy.
I'm going to fix rents, have rent control and we're
gonna punish those landlords.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
And all the young voters.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Say yes, they have no idea that constricting a supply
of the.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Thing they want is the last thing in the world.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
You'd want to do that, But it's literally the worst
thing you could do.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
But it sounds great.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
On the other side of the aisle, you got the
you know, the Jews are the real problem. If we
could just deal with the Jews, everything would be fine.
How many times has that been tried? And you've got
this online vein of the right it's like, wow, wait
a minute, yeah, maybe it's the Jews.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Oh, for God's sake, So I just can't bring myself
to talk about the news of the day.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Yet. God he's into it. I hear you.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
I came in with a head full of esteem. It's
it's rare, so so I feel better.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Uh, how do we feel about reading next door posts?
It is a post on a platform, a social platform.
Does that make it make it? I mean, I'm not
going to use the name obviously. How do I feel
about it?
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Outstand them?
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Enthusiastic? I can't wait. You think it's okay because they
put it out there? Yeah, no, I would. I would
leave identifying you know, information off there, just as a precaution.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
But sure, Yeah, Katie, I want you your assessment of this. Also,
this is a next door post. I don't read next
door very often, but I don't know. If you're on
next door, you get him in your email and like,
if the first eight words grab your.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Attention, I will go to the next door thing and
read the whole. Yeah. I mean, if it's just I
lost my kitten, I don't read it, but this one
got my attention.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
I'm general, I'm genuinely sorry. If anyone hears crying and
strained yelling from my apartment, well that was enough for
me to click on it.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Oh wait a minute, crying and strained yelling. No one
is in danger or anything.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
I'm just in an unbelievable amount of physical and emotional
pain from a combination of expected factors.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
I need to get through this on my own terms. Okay, now,
hang with this.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
You're probably like me because my initial feeling was this
is a crackpot.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Then I thought, oh my gosh, this is a tragic story.
Somebody the physical pain thing. I just let's keep going concerned. Okay,
all right.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
The muscles in my chest are atrophying from medication, spasming
like a like a painful hiccup, and my support at
home is currently singing in Napa. My supported home is
singing in Napa. But anyway, again, I'm starting to feel, man.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
This is horrible.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Yeah, it's still horrible, but I'm just being real with y'all.
Retranshealth Okay, now we're taking a turn. Oh wait a minute,
it's not supposed to be this difficult. People are meant
to have family and community connections to help, but I don't.
I implore everyone to take my situation as cautionary. There
is more pain caused by taking away access to healthcare
(05:24):
or kicking out your relatives than there is in being
open to unfamiliar but long standing ideas about the human
brain and physiological development.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Honestly, creed or what.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Honestly, I invite you to do some primal screams with me,
or we're all going to need the catharsis if the
political situation stays on this globally destructive trajectory.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
So I took that as they're doing some sort of
transition stuff and like didn't have the money for the
follow through or all the medical or they're doing it
on their own, or they're doing something with their breast
area retrans transitioning and it's really painful, and everybody has
(06:09):
called them a nut job and left. That's what it
sounds like to me. Now for me, and then Katie,
I'll get out of your way. Now for me, please
rope in somehow that last sentence about the globally destructive trajectory,
now that factors into his newly or her what's newly
removed hooters or whatever, yeah, or recently added one of each.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
I don't know. All I got is there was a
lot there. That's a lot. There's a lot going on
with that.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
And again this person, I'm sorry they're going through it,
but they went. The thing that is going to help
me right now is to put this on next door.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Right. Well, there's that as well. Man, I'm running some
sort of a mental health place. I'm calling out the
swat team for this one. Yeah, so we're gonna need
like half a dozen experts.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Well, as Joe pointed out there, then throwing in at
the end that somehow if Trump weren't president, I wouldn't
be screaming in my apartment.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Everything would be fine. I don't know what would be different.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
The human need for escapegoat, I think is underappreciated. Have
the great philosophers weighed in on this.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
The muscles in my chest are atrophying from medication, spasming
like a painful hiccup. I don't know what they're taken
to make their breasts go away, or to grow their breasts,
or do you have to get rid of missile muscle
before you grow breasts? Like is there a male muscle
that needs to go before you get female breasts? I
(07:40):
don't know any of this stuff. No, so you think
it's somebody getting rid of breasts. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
I don't know, I can't I can't sound likely answer
any questions about this.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Yeah, Kittie, that sounds to me like it's written by
a woman. I'm thinking. I'm thinking I'm a trauma queene guy.
I've known a few.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Well, yeah, the first he's on the girl hormones as
a way of making you crazy. You know, if it's
to anybody, the first sentence is, I'm genuinely sorry if
anyone hears crying and strained yelling from my apartment.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Yeah, that's better an unstrained yelling, certainly.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Wow, that's a terrible situation, and that would imply that
you're like screaming out loud loud enough for other people
to hear you. You don't have any relationship with your
like next door neighbors, so the best way to reach
out to them is through next door and hope they
read it. Oh that's a sad human even as a
missing if I lived anywhere for very long in an
(08:34):
apartment complex, I you know, had a certain relationship.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
With the people right next to me. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Yeah, you know, back to the scapegoat thing, because it
sounds like at the end that I was trying to
redirect toward you know, if Trump wasn't around or whatever,
I'd have a much better life. My chest wouldn't be
after h I. Yeah, again, there's a lot here. I've
I had a conversation not long ago with some folks
(09:02):
whose lives were not going terribly well.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
One in particular, a lot of issues and not you know,
how do I put this? Not a bad.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Person, a person who has dealt a very bad hand, okay,
and and the struggles are understandable.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
On the other hand, the.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Need to blame it on someone was strong, and I
was just I was struck by it. And since that
conversation a while back, I've noticed it.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
So many people need escapegoat.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
And this is not exactly original thought that people, you know,
success as a thousand fathers, failures an orphan and and
generally people want to credit themselves with their successes and
others with their failures. I mean, that's obvious, but it's
it's an underdiscussed aspect of human behavior.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
I think, Well, I know I do. I have to
talk to my kids about it a lot. And then
they regularly blame something for this. And well, if you
had done your homework on time like I asked you,
this wouldn't have happened.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
You know that sort of thing.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Yes, you created the environment in which this setback would
be fatal, Yes, exactly, But just that the person with
that incredible i mean practically incomprehensible stew of issues then
bringing it home to and by the way, that damn
Trump is the root.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Of all this.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
Wait what, Yeah, I invite you, I mean, essentially, I
invite you to do some primal screams with me. We're
all going to need the Catharsis if the political situation
stays on this globally destructive trajectory. Yeah, right, Well, I
was gonna bring you a lasagna, but I don't know
you seem like a.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Lot long day. Yeah, you seem like a lot. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Yeah, they long for those calm and placid Biden Harris years.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Wow, all right, that was one of the best next
doors I ever clicked on in terms of making Yes, Michael.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
I have one as well. We need good handyman need
to put up shed?
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Please email me who drives that red car?
Speaker 2 (11:12):
It goes too fast?
Speaker 3 (11:14):
You need good handyman, need to put up shed. That's
a good one too, Michael. That's a lot of them.
Has nothing to do with a driffing muscles in your chest,
because all your Because that was one of my favorite sentences.
Was my support at home is currently singing in NAPA.
Well support group went to a singing competition. Is that
(11:39):
bad for them? Give them a minute ago singing Napa.
It's pretty that I hung around and supported them during,
you know, while the world is on this horrible trajectory.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
I was lain in my bed last night when I
got this and I screamed on his or her behalf ah,
a primal scream.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Wow, trying to help feel better. I didn't do much
for me, but it didn't hurt frightened your sons I'm sure.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
Yeah, wow, okay, my my uh sympathy goes out to
whoever that person is. Sounds like you're your evening was
not going well. We've got Katie's headlines on the way.
We got to get through the back and forth on
did we destroy the nuclear reactors or not? I got
phon dings back to back yesterday from all my news sources.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
The first one saying.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Analysis suggests the Fotoho plant was destroyed, setting back the
nuclear program a long way.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Then the very next.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Ding, like before I finished that sentence, was analysis shows
the Ford Do plant was not significantly damaged and not setback.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
So ok, I thought, Okay, what am I supposed to do?
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Oh it's as if people and media out let's just
search for information to back up their own biases.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
That's shocking.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
Oh yeah, and did MSNBC out themselves. We're out of time.
We're just gonna take a break. I didn't start the
show up mark. The FCCG is going to send me
a letter. I'll pay the fine.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
I'll pay the fine. I broke the rules of the
fcc It is on me completely. Can't go back to
prison man.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Katie's Headline's next we gotta text.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
The set next door. Trolling is my favorite hobby. That's
not good. That's schadenfreud. That's the like the definition of schadenfreud,
but trolling. So he responds, I presume it's a he
I took it to mean trolling in the way that
we used it before online. Or I'm just like, you're
trolling for chicks. You weren't going out mocking them. You're
(13:34):
looking for trolling through next door, looking for entertainment.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
I think he harasses people on next door. Maybe maybe
modern version. Old man, he's a troll. It's hard to know.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
When my son says crashed out, he means something completely
different than my generation meant.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
So I'm always completely different than a month ago.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Right, yeah, yeah, let's figure out who's supporting what. It's
the lead story with Katie Green.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
Katie all Right, starting with in New York Times, US
bombs said back, I RAN's nuclear program by months but
did not destroy it, save people familiar with secret Pentagon
assessment elements.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
And then this one.
Speaker 4 (14:12):
From CNN Israel Atomic Energy Commission, US strikes and I
ran destroyed critical infrastructure at FOURDO nuclear site.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
So it's either set it back a month or completely destroyed,
and they said the quiet power part out loud on
MSNBC today. I hate that phrase, but it actually happened
on MSNBC this morning. I will talk about that later
and explaining the glee that people were having in reporting
that the nuclear facility was still alive, which is weird,
but again explain that coming up from CBS News.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
ICE arrests eleven Iranian nationals in forty eight hours. Oo
among those a Revolutionary Guard member, an ex Iranian army sniper,
and a terror suspect.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
So I was wondering about that a little bit, if
that was like a little performative and that they had
Iranians on the list and they decided to grab them
all now and make a big headline and blah blah blah.
But I was watching Jane Harmon. I don't know if
you remember her. She was a senator back in the day,
she was on the Intelligence Committee. She was on News
Nation this morning saying, I'm really glad that they're rounded
(15:19):
up the Iranian illegals because we've had many cells in
this country, and she went through a couple of examples
of assassination cells that we broke up. But back in
the day when she was on the Intelligence Committee, so
she is a Democrat.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Was taking it very seriously.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Yeah, yeah, Well, these are people we have on our radar,
and I'm glad they're rounded up. Let's do whatever it's necessary.
But it's the how many million gotaways right during the
bike We have no idea who those people are. Not
on anybody's radar.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
Also from the New York Times, a stunned Cuomo watch
party finds itself with little to nothing to celebrate.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
Wow, you did not read the polls before you through
your party.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
From the Wall Street Journal, gas prices are down for
summer driving season despite turmoil in the Middle East.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
Well, going on, Tucker, help us out now, gas is
going to be thirty dollars a gallon. There are going
to be inner world war, et cetera. The economy was
going to tank.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
From Fox News, Diddy says not testifying is quote solely
my decision as both sides.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Rest their case. Wow.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
So didn't seem like the defense took very long because
there is no defense.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
They didn't offer much of one, just saying nay, they
didn't prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Let's get to Jerry time. Okay, well, closing arguments then
Jerry Time from the New York Post.
Speaker 4 (16:47):
Educators warned that AI shortcuts are already making kids lazy. Quote,
critical thinking and attention spans have been demolished.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
You can't.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
You can't take attention spans down further than they already were.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
I've got more information on this. It is troubling. If
you'd like to be troubled, stay tuned.
Speaker 4 (17:05):
From the Babylon, b Newsom said it's his duty to
represent the illegal immigrants who elected him.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Yeah, that's funny, I get it. Uh yeah, why did it?
Speaker 3 (17:15):
Was I misreading Glee on cable news last night when
reports came in that the uranium facilities were not No,
I was not misreading.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Glee, ar Strong and Getty.
Speaker 5 (17:28):
President Trump insists the US strikes on Iran obliterated its
nuclear program, but sources tell us a preliminary Pentagon report
indicates at least two of the Iranian nuclear facilities targeted
were not completely destroyed.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
So lots of headlines breaking yesterday.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
As I mentioned a little bit ago on my phone
with all my alerts, I got back to back like
I was reading one while another came in.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
I don't remember.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
I think the first one I got from one of
your major news sources was Iran's nuclear program mostly destroyed
by attack. While I was reading that, I got another
report come in saying assessments show Iran's nuclear program barely damaged,
could be reconstituted in months. And I thought, okay, great,
and I just kind of ignored it from there. But
(18:17):
then there was a lot of back and forth throughout
the day, Worth pointing out that all of the assessments
have very low certainty because, for obviously reasons, you can't
it just happened. Then nobody's on the ground there and
can like really inspect it. And I was watching again
Senator former Senator James Harmon on News Nation, who was
(18:38):
on the Intelligence Committee for years as a senator, saying,
until you get eyeballs on this, you're not going to
actually know, right.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
The low certainty means, all right, look, this is our
first blush glance. We're still working on it. Anybody who
would take that and run with it is doing so dishonest.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Well, and Rubio a little bit ago, and we've got
the clip, but Rubio a little bit ago said, first
reports are oft and wrong, and often the agenda of
someone in intelligence, and so yeah, there are people that
didn't want to strike that might come out with their
initial I mean, if I'm putting together a low certainty.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Assessment, I could say anything, Oh sure.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
I mean if I get to add to it, our
certainty is very low, and picture please the sort of
person who would leak a top secret right extremely preliminary,
low confidence estimate. But here's why, why would you conceivably
do that other than trying to move the political needle.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
Here's what I want to talk about.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
Which I thought was interesting is the number of newscasts,
particularly on cable news, but some of it on the
network news of it seemed like they were gleeful getting
to report that Donald Trump's attack and I say donald Trump,
because that's the way they interpret every story. It's all
through the lens of Donald Trump. That Donald Trump's attack
(19:56):
on Iran's nuclear capability didn't work, and they seemed excited
about that, And I thought, do I have Trump derangement syndrome?
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Now?
Speaker 3 (20:04):
Am I like reading into this too much that they
seem happy about this? Because I thought, how freaking weird
would that be to be happy that one of America's
primary enemies is closer to a nuclear weapon rather than
further away. But because you hate Trump so much that
makes you excited. I mean that's some twisted f and
(20:25):
thinking right there. So I thought maybe my thinking, maybe
I'm over, you know, reading their joy or something. I
flip on MSNBC this morning and it's Joe Scarborough talking
to one of my favorite foreign correspondents or international news talkers,
David Ignacious of the Washington Post. He and David Sanger
(20:46):
in New York Times have such great sources. They're always
worth a read on big stories.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Like this, and David Ignacius actually said critics might want
to think through their criticism, as if the nuclear facility
is not destroyed, that would be a reason.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
To go back in and continue military action.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
So I thought one, okay, yeah, right, and critics, what
does critics mean? I mean, are you just going with
assessments outside of politics?
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Are you making this about politics?
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Then Josscarborough actually.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
Said out loud, he said, yeah, people are doing touchdown
dances around this. Might want to rethink it. I thought, okay,
I wasn't making this up in my head. People were
doing touchdown.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Dances in media over the fact that maybe we didn't
destroy the facility completely.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
That's crazy. You are crazy.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
You need to take a vacation and think about your life. Yeah,
and what you're doing with it and the way your
brain works.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
If you're excited that.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Iran might get a bomb because that would make Trump
somehow look bad or something, What the freak is wrong.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
With you people?
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Well an ignacious is quote was kind of odd in
a way. It's the world he lives in. But talking
about how you ought to measure or you know, roll
back your enthusiasm because it might mean what more attacks
in the future. But that's that is an absolute confession
that we and these people we don't assess things based
on the facts as we see them.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
We run it entirely through our emotional That's exactly right,
That's exactly right. Well he was suggesting is those of
you who are or are you just using your I
guess it's just plain old partisanship, but on you know,
a radioactive partisanship because Trump's involved to assess news stories.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
How twisted is that is that where we are as
a country, you would rather Iran gets a nuke if
it would look to make trumple look bad.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
That's so crazy.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Yeah, I was reading something the other day that made
an impression on me. They were making the point, and
we've slid inch by inch, foot by foot to this point,
so I've kind of gotten used to it. But this
sort of hyper partisan reaction to real world events, including
events like Iran's nuclear capability of being set back by
months or years, whatever it turns out to be. And
(23:11):
nobody's sure right now, literally, nobody is sure right now
that sort of unequivocally good event or action by a
president would be celebrated on both sides of the aisle.
Nobody would would freak out. It's saying, you know, Carter
did a good job of getting bacon and set out together.
(23:32):
That was really admirable. Nobody would hesitate to say that
because it's patently just clearly true. Well right now, you cannot,
you will not, you must not ever say yeah, that
went well, that is so crazy.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
Yeah, it is seriously that that's a bad place to be.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
Scarborough actually saying those of everybody doing touchdown dances around this, Wow,
you're thrilled.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
You're high fiving. Yeah, Ran might have a nuke and
be able to kill lots of us.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
So there's and lots of Jews whoooo right, because you're nuts.
You need to quit or leave the country because you're
no patriot.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
Wow, that's despicable. It is despicable. That's why I'm so
agitated about it. It's despicable. You actually are not a patriot.
Get out of the country. You're greater to your nation. Yeah,
you're your emotions of so jaundice or you know, infected
your judgment.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
You're no longer a functioning adult. That's sick.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
Can you imagine, let's let's play a little shoe on
the other foot game. Can you imagine somebody saying, man,
I hope Seal Team six missed Osama bin Laden.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
I hope Osama got out of there.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
I hope Obama's mission was unsuccessful.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
That would make you a scumbag. Yes it would, well,
you would, so prosecution rests.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
But taking it a little logically further like David did,
is the idea that if it didn't completely destroy the
nuclear facility, because that's gonna happen, it either got destroyed
or didn't. If it didn't, we're going back the idea,
I mean, in case you haven't caught onto this yet,
is we're not gonna let ran get a nuke period.
(25:17):
So I don't know what you're rooting for here. I'm
rooting for Iran not getting a nuke one way or
the other.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
I think.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
Also a really interesting thing one in the Wall Street Journal.
This is what Joe's been talking about. This is where
we are now, and I don't know why it hasn't
happened already.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Trump could offer two.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
Tests immediately to see if the regime is willing to
change or not.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
First, Hey, Ayatola, will you.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
Grant the IAEA, the International Atomic Energy Agency Inspector's immediate
access to examine the nuclear sites.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
Like right now today? Right? Will you or won't you?
Speaker 3 (25:54):
If not, Iran has no intention of dismantling their nuclear
enrichment program period correct? And also, hey, Iran, will you
recognize Israel's right to exist and renounce its desire to
wipe the Jewish state off the map?
Speaker 2 (26:09):
Say it today? And if they don't, then they're the
same country, right, which is why? And that's great.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
That kind of rounds out my argument and wish I
in a way I wish I had done yesterday. I
was annoyed, offended that Trump was yelling at Israel to stop.
You got to stop now, I have declared to seize fire.
Now it's time to stop because Israel has made the
judgment that the answer to both of those propositions or
questions you just post the journal just post is no.
(26:39):
Iran will not let the IAE in. They will not
grant free access to all their plans and their programs.
They won't there's not a chance, and they are not
going to recognize the evil Jewish state as legitimate. So
there's no point in another round of negotiations with those
who have vowed to wipe us off the face of
the earth, and on October seventh, took a hell of
(26:59):
a step towards doing it.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
No, Well, we have a plan we're executing.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
I feel like they're two separate things because we don't
need to be involved in the second one. If they
don't have a nuke, hey, Israel, do what you got
to do or what you want to do. But we're
not going to war with Iran, right, But the first one,
we can't let them get a nuke. So if you're
not gonna if you're not gonna let inspectors in today.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Bombing continues by the United States, well, right, I agree
with that one hundred percent.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
It's the constraining of Israel that bothers me. If Trump
says that's all we're doing, you're on your own note,
that's fine. But to say at Israel you have to
stop now, that that is wrong. That is a misunderstanding
of the situation, and I'm sure it's frustrating the crap
out of the Israelis depending on their perception of whether
they've gotten the mission accomplished or not, or to what
(27:48):
extent they've accomplished the mission.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
And one other little piece of this is from David
Ignatius's column today in the Washington Post. The most urgent
post war challenge is finding and destroying a Ran stockpile
of about nine hundred pounds of sixty percent enriched uranium
that is fuel for a dirty bomb they could use
in weeks if we don't get it controlled. Israel and
(28:11):
American sources both say they know where the four hundred
kilograms are located. We only hope that that's true. I
hope that's true. You certainly wouldn't announce out loud though.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
We don't have any idea where that is. You're never
going to say that.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
Well, you would say whatever you needed to say to
accomplish your mission, or I don't believe a syllable of anything.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
I will tell you though, I thought I was beyond
cynical about media and their partisanship and all that sort
of stuff. But I was still shocked today and last
night to see people excited that maybe Iran can get
a nuke because they hate Trump so much. It was
more worse than I even thought.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
That's shocking, It is disgusting.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
It is disgusting, sitting here literally disgusted anyway.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
Yeah, and it's funny.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
The criticism from their own channel, from Joe Scarborough, who
claimed to be a conservative his whole life, was not
your disgusting, anti patriotic scumbags who've lost their mind.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
It was you might be wrong. Yeah yeah, whoa, whoa, whoa.
It might have been.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
Successful and in pushing the Mullas away from the you know,
ability to.
Speaker 3 (29:31):
And then Trump did his wind damn it, Yeah, damn
you freaking weirdos. Okay, we got mail bag on the way.
I'm perfectly fine with that. Be interested in any thoughts
on that text line four one five nine KFTC. Several
people are have asked, yes, we are going to play
(29:53):
the bomb Iran song that Trump truthed out last night
over footage of two bombers flying and taking off and
landing bomb bomb iran. Hey, iyatola, gonna put you in
a box bomb iran. Oh, that's from the President of
the United States.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
Oh golly gee, these are hard times. I'd say they
are odd times. Here's your freedom loving quote of the day.
And I want to talk about this more later.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
I've got this weird fantasy. No, nothing like that. Ah.
Do I have time to even touch on this? Well,
I'll read the quote. It's another one from Clarence Thomas.
His seventy seventh birthday was Monday. And I love this,
love this, love this seventy seven. Yeah, he says quote.
(30:41):
One of the things I say is that genius is
not putting a ten cent idea in a twenty dollars sentence.
Genius is putting a twenty dollars idea in a ten
cent sentence. It is to make it as accessible as
possible to average people. I think we owe it to people.
That's talking about writing decisions.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
That's really good.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
Oh that is so lots of smart people who know
lots of words go out of their way to use
lots of words that's always bothered me about George. Well, hey, George,
well you could write that and use words that everybody knows.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
I know you're smarter than I am.
Speaker 3 (31:13):
How about you it using words everybody knows, so you
can make your brilliant point, because the point's usually brilliant,
but you don't have to use all the words.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
Yeah, yeah, So I can tell you more about my
fantasy later.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
It has to do with that very concept.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
I've been helping someone make sure their arguments are landing
the way they think they are, and I love it
more than anything, being like an editor.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
Anyway, more on that later.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
Mailbag drop us a note speaking of conveying ideas. Mail
Bag at Armstrong and Getty dot com, Anna Luisa and
Sunny Lamesa writes, old timy wisdom, guys, for all the
talk of various scumbags, it reminds me one of my
favorite old timey sayings, cream to the top, and so
does pond scum.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
That's pretty good, Oh, Luisa, I love that.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
Good gracious, and then she wishes us fun vacations, So
thank you very much. Next week t shirt idea from
Darren Hey, simple Jack and Gentleman Joe I've got an
idea for an ang T shirt, lock up Criminals, not
my toothpaste.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
What do you think? Yeah? I think that's great. Thanks Darren.
Good thinking. Let's see.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
Oh lordy, that brings me down. I'm not reading that one.
It's unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
Maybe later.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
TJ and the Dang writes fellas that clip from Today's
One More Thing, the Sophie Cunningham clip. She's the n
w NBA player who volunteered to be an enforcer to
protect Caitlin Clark. It sounded, AI, don't get me wrong,
very funny, but I think we may have been duped.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Speaker 3 (32:54):
Yeah, yeah, we wondered about that too. It was weirdly edited,
but we did some research on that. Couldn't verify it
really either way, other than we found some clips of
her saying those things, so it seems to be maybe
it was put together you I don't know, but it
seems like she said all those things.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
Yeah. I don't have any idea at all. Do you
want to hear a small piece of it? Sure? Why not?
Speaker 1 (33:19):
Hello?
Speaker 2 (33:19):
Everyone, I'm Sophie Cunningham. I don't start trouble, but I'm
never afraid of it.
Speaker 4 (33:23):
You can provoke anyone, but there's one person you don't touch,
Caitlin Clark, even if it comes to a fight.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
I'm not worried about anyone pulling my hair.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
Why it's a I, you think, just flat out of
the completely made election of And I noticed this yesterday
about it kind of went by.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
There's one person you don't touch, Kitlyn Clark.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
That is a I that doesn't recognize there's an implied
comma there, there's one person you don't touch, Caitlin Clark.
A human being wouldn't have that emphasis on the words.
Speaker 3 (33:54):
Well, and maybe it is. I don't know what to
do with life anymore. I mean, what are we going
to do as a society?
Speaker 2 (34:02):
Pour myself at cocktail? I know what to do with life.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
No, no video or audio you ever come across as
might all be fake.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
So what are you gonna do?
Speaker 1 (34:11):
Hey, in that video I skipped, I'm sorry the email
I skipped. It had to do with AI video, but
very sickening in perverse, you know, just adding to your thought,
let's see.
Speaker 3 (34:24):
Videos that are taking the chick down in the headlocker reel.
I know that because I saw those from the highlights
of the game.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
Don't doubt it. JT.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
And Livermore says, enough with the claim that Trump's actions
were unconstitutional. I've often said that ninety percent of Democrat
arguments can be defeated with a dictionary and or a calculator.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
That's good, oh ba.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
The Warpowers Resolution requires the President to notify Congress within
forty eight hours of committing armed services to military action
and forbids armed forces from the remaining for more than
sixty days with a further thirty day withdrawal period without
congressional authorization, et cetera, et cetera. Notify Congress yep. Did
Trump leave forces for more than sixty days?
Speaker 2 (35:03):
Nope? Qed? Is it Latin?
Speaker 3 (35:06):
Is it still constitutional if you put out a song
parody about bombing the country without authorization from Congress? Ah?
Speaker 1 (35:13):
I'm not a constitutional expert, but i'm a bit of
a that's a really bad effing idea expert, and I'm
leaning toward it's that a really bad idea.
Speaker 2 (35:23):
We'll play that for you an hour two funny but
in poor taste. Of course, that's kind of our show.
Speaker 3 (35:29):
You missed a segment get the podcast Armstrong and Getty
on demand Armstrong and Getty
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
And Joe Katty Armstrong and Jackie and he arms wrong yet?
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Why remember actually asked complaining about what my workspace is
out of control?
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Right? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Now I needed to clean it today. I have so
much crap it covered up the microphone button. I couldn't
turn on my microphone.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Oh, you're a holder.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
You can't do your job properly if you've got so
much crap it's covering up your microphone button.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Michael Carl t LC or whoever does those shows these days,
radio hoarders like you're wanting to operate on somebody's heart,
but all your little pieces of equipment are covered in newspapers.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Here's a scalpel, nurse. Where's this guy? I think it's
under your old undershirts. Over there, you're a.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Stack of laundry. Hey, live from Studio C see Sanol.
It's a dimly lit room, all right, deeput them the
bowels of the Armstrong in Getty communication compounds so deep
down underground that a bunkerbuster could not get to it.
And today we are under the tutelage of our general manager.
Zoranmandani is Lomist socialist possibly next wayor of New York City.
(01:35):
There are two great tastes that go great together. Hey,
you got his lumbism in my socialism. You got socialism
in my Islamism.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Who wait a minute, wow, Uh, Well he's young and
charismatic and people like that.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
And young voters are stupid, stupid, stupid.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
I will make that case powerfully coming up. Stay with us,
that young people are stupid. That's gonna be argument.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Yes, young voter specifically, you know, honestly, and it's not
it's not a judgmental thing. It's a statement of fact
that I did not exclude myself nor my generation from
this assessment. There are political scams that.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Are as old as time.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Brute A Brutus tried them out to when running to
succeed Julius Caesar.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
That never happened. They're as old is the Roman.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Republic scams you run to full particularly young voters. For instance,
the you know your rents high because landlords are greedy.
I'm going to fix rents, have rent control and we're
gonna punish those landlords.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
And all the young voters.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Say yes, they have no idea that constricting a supply
of the.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Thing they want is the last thing in the world.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
You'd want to do that, But it's literally the worst
thing you could do.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
But it sounds great.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
On the other side of the aisle, you got the
you know, the Jews are the real problem. If we
could just deal with the Jews, everything would be fine.
How many times has that been tried? And you've got
this online vein of the right it's like, wow, wait
a minute, yeah, maybe it's the Jews.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Oh, for God's sake, So I just can't bring myself
to talk about the news of the day.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Yet. God he's into it. I hear you.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
I came in with a head full of esteem. It's
it's rare, so so I feel better.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Uh, how do we feel about reading next door posts?
It is a post on a platform, a social platform.
Does that make it make it? I mean, I'm not
going to use the name obviously. How do I feel
about it?
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Outstand them?
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Enthusiastic? I can't wait. You think it's okay because they
put it out there? Yeah, no, I would. I would
leave identifying you know, information off there, just as a precaution.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
But sure, Yeah, Katie, I want you your assessment of this. Also,
this is a next door post. I don't read next
door very often, but I don't know. If you're on
next door, you get him in your email and like,
if the first eight words grab your.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Attention, I will go to the next door thing and
read the whole. Yeah. I mean, if it's just I
lost my kitten, I don't read it, but this one
got my attention.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
I'm general, I'm genuinely sorry. If anyone hears crying and
strained yelling from my apartment, well that was enough for
me to click on it.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Oh wait a minute, crying and strained yelling. No one
is in danger or anything.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
I'm just in an unbelievable amount of physical and emotional
pain from a combination of expected factors.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
I need to get through this on my own terms. Okay, now,
hang with this.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
You're probably like me because my initial feeling was this
is a crackpot.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Then I thought, oh my gosh, this is a tragic story.
Somebody the physical pain thing. I just let's keep going concerned. Okay,
all right.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
The muscles in my chest are atrophying from medication, spasming
like a like a painful hiccup, and my support at
home is currently singing in Napa. My supported home is
singing in Napa. But anyway, again, I'm starting to feel, man.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
This is horrible.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Yeah, it's still horrible, but I'm just being real with y'all.
Retranshealth Okay, now we're taking a turn. Oh wait a minute,
it's not supposed to be this difficult. People are meant
to have family and community connections to help, but I don't.
I implore everyone to take my situation as cautionary. There
is more pain caused by taking away access to healthcare
(05:24):
or kicking out your relatives than there is in being
open to unfamiliar but long standing ideas about the human
brain and physiological development.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Honestly, creed or what.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Honestly, I invite you to do some primal screams with me,
or we're all going to need the catharsis if the
political situation stays on this globally destructive trajectory.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
So I took that as they're doing some sort of
transition stuff and like didn't have the money for the
follow through or all the medical or they're doing it
on their own, or they're doing something with their breast
area retrans transitioning and it's really painful, and everybody has
(06:09):
called them a nut job and left. That's what it
sounds like to me. Now for me, and then Katie,
I'll get out of your way. Now for me, please
rope in somehow that last sentence about the globally destructive trajectory,
now that factors into his newly or her what's newly
removed hooters or whatever, yeah, or recently added one of each.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
I don't know. All I got is there was a
lot there. That's a lot. There's a lot going on
with that.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
And again this person, I'm sorry they're going through it,
but they went. The thing that is going to help
me right now is to put this on next door.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Right. Well, there's that as well. Man, I'm running some
sort of a mental health place. I'm calling out the
swat team for this one. Yeah, so we're gonna need
like half a dozen experts.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Well, as Joe pointed out there, then throwing in at
the end that somehow if Trump weren't president, I wouldn't
be screaming in my apartment.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Everything would be fine. I don't know what would be different.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
The human need for escapegoat, I think is underappreciated. Have
the great philosophers weighed in on this.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
The muscles in my chest are atrophying from medication, spasming
like a painful hiccup. I don't know what they're taken
to make their breasts go away, or to grow their breasts,
or do you have to get rid of missile muscle
before you grow breasts? Like is there a male muscle
that needs to go before you get female breasts? I
(07:40):
don't know any of this stuff. No, so you think
it's somebody getting rid of breasts. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
I don't know, I can't I can't sound likely answer
any questions about this.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Yeah, Kittie, that sounds to me like it's written by
a woman. I'm thinking. I'm thinking I'm a trauma queene guy.
I've known a few.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Well, yeah, the first he's on the girl hormones as
a way of making you crazy. You know, if it's
to anybody, the first sentence is, I'm genuinely sorry if
anyone hears crying and strained yelling from my apartment.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Yeah, that's better an unstrained yelling, certainly.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Wow, that's a terrible situation, and that would imply that
you're like screaming out loud loud enough for other people
to hear you. You don't have any relationship with your
like next door neighbors, so the best way to reach
out to them is through next door and hope they
read it. Oh that's a sad human even as a
missing if I lived anywhere for very long in an
(08:34):
apartment complex, I you know, had a certain relationship.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
With the people right next to me. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Yeah, you know, back to the scapegoat thing, because it
sounds like at the end that I was trying to
redirect toward you know, if Trump wasn't around or whatever,
I'd have a much better life. My chest wouldn't be
after h I. Yeah, again, there's a lot here. I've
I had a conversation not long ago with some folks
(09:02):
whose lives were not going terribly well.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
One in particular, a lot of issues and not you know,
how do I put this? Not a bad.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Person, a person who has dealt a very bad hand, okay,
and and the struggles are understandable.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
On the other hand, the.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Need to blame it on someone was strong, and I
was just I was struck by it. And since that
conversation a while back, I've noticed it.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
So many people need escapegoat.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
And this is not exactly original thought that people, you know,
success as a thousand fathers, failures an orphan and and
generally people want to credit themselves with their successes and
others with their failures. I mean, that's obvious, but it's
it's an underdiscussed aspect of human behavior.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
I think, Well, I know I do. I have to
talk to my kids about it a lot. And then
they regularly blame something for this. And well, if you
had done your homework on time like I asked you,
this wouldn't have happened.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
You know that sort of thing.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Yes, you created the environment in which this setback would
be fatal, Yes, exactly, But just that the person with
that incredible i mean practically incomprehensible stew of issues then
bringing it home to and by the way, that damn
Trump is the root.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Of all this.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
Wait what, Yeah, I invite you, I mean, essentially, I
invite you to do some primal screams with me. We're
all going to need the Catharsis if the political situation
stays on this globally destructive trajectory. Yeah, right, Well, I
was gonna bring you a lasagna, but I don't know
you seem like a.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Lot long day. Yeah, you seem like a lot. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Yeah, they long for those calm and placid Biden Harris years.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Wow, all right, that was one of the best next
doors I ever clicked on in terms of making Yes, Michael.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
I have one as well. We need good handyman need
to put up shed?
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Please email me who drives that red car?
Speaker 2 (11:12):
It goes too fast?
Speaker 3 (11:14):
You need good handyman, need to put up shed. That's
a good one too, Michael. That's a lot of them.
Has nothing to do with a driffing muscles in your chest,
because all your Because that was one of my favorite sentences.
Was my support at home is currently singing in NAPA.
Well support group went to a singing competition. Is that
(11:39):
bad for them? Give them a minute ago singing Napa.
It's pretty that I hung around and supported them during,
you know, while the world is on this horrible trajectory.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
I was lain in my bed last night when I
got this and I screamed on his or her behalf ah,
a primal scream.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Wow, trying to help feel better. I didn't do much
for me, but it didn't hurt frightened your sons I'm sure.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
Yeah, wow, okay, my my uh sympathy goes out to
whoever that person is. Sounds like you're your evening was
not going well. We've got Katie's headlines on the way.
We got to get through the back and forth on
did we destroy the nuclear reactors or not? I got
phon dings back to back yesterday from all my news sources.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
The first one saying.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Analysis suggests the Fotoho plant was destroyed, setting back the
nuclear program a long way.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Then the very next.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Ding, like before I finished that sentence, was analysis shows
the Ford Do plant was not significantly damaged and not setback.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
So ok, I thought, Okay, what am I supposed to do?
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Oh it's as if people and media out let's just
search for information to back up their own biases.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
That's shocking.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
Oh yeah, and did MSNBC out themselves. We're out of time.
We're just gonna take a break. I didn't start the
show up mark. The FCCG is going to send me
a letter. I'll pay the fine.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
I'll pay the fine. I broke the rules of the
fcc It is on me completely. Can't go back to
prison man.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Katie's Headline's next we gotta text.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
The set next door. Trolling is my favorite hobby. That's
not good. That's schadenfreud. That's the like the definition of schadenfreud,
but trolling. So he responds, I presume it's a he
I took it to mean trolling in the way that
we used it before online. Or I'm just like, you're
trolling for chicks. You weren't going out mocking them. You're
(13:34):
looking for trolling through next door, looking for entertainment.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
I think he harasses people on next door. Maybe maybe
modern version. Old man, he's a troll. It's hard to know.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
When my son says crashed out, he means something completely
different than my generation meant.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
So I'm always completely different than a month ago.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Right, yeah, yeah, let's figure out who's supporting what. It's
the lead story with Katie Green.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
Katie all Right, starting with in New York Times, US
bombs said back, I RAN's nuclear program by months but
did not destroy it, save people familiar with secret Pentagon
assessment elements.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
And then this one.
Speaker 4 (14:12):
From CNN Israel Atomic Energy Commission, US strikes and I
ran destroyed critical infrastructure at FOURDO nuclear site.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
So it's either set it back a month or completely destroyed,
and they said the quiet power part out loud on
MSNBC today. I hate that phrase, but it actually happened
on MSNBC this morning. I will talk about that later
and explaining the glee that people were having in reporting
that the nuclear facility was still alive, which is weird,
but again explain that coming up from CBS News.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
ICE arrests eleven Iranian nationals in forty eight hours. Oo
among those a Revolutionary Guard member, an ex Iranian army sniper,
and a terror suspect.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
So I was wondering about that a little bit, if
that was like a little performative and that they had
Iranians on the list and they decided to grab them
all now and make a big headline and blah blah blah.
But I was watching Jane Harmon. I don't know if
you remember her. She was a senator back in the day,
she was on the Intelligence Committee. She was on News
Nation this morning saying, I'm really glad that they're rounded
(15:19):
up the Iranian illegals because we've had many cells in
this country, and she went through a couple of examples
of assassination cells that we broke up. But back in
the day when she was on the Intelligence Committee, so
she is a Democrat.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Was taking it very seriously.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Yeah, yeah, Well, these are people we have on our radar,
and I'm glad they're rounded up. Let's do whatever it's necessary.
But it's the how many million gotaways right during the
bike We have no idea who those people are. Not
on anybody's radar.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
Also from the New York Times, a stunned Cuomo watch
party finds itself with little to nothing to celebrate.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
Wow, you did not read the polls before you through
your party.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
From the Wall Street Journal, gas prices are down for
summer driving season despite turmoil in the Middle East.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
Well, going on, Tucker, help us out now, gas is
going to be thirty dollars a gallon. There are going
to be inner world war, et cetera. The economy was
going to tank.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
From Fox News, Diddy says not testifying is quote solely
my decision as both sides.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Rest their case. Wow.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
So didn't seem like the defense took very long because
there is no defense.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
They didn't offer much of one, just saying nay, they
didn't prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Let's get to Jerry time. Okay, well, closing arguments then
Jerry Time from the New York Post.
Speaker 4 (16:47):
Educators warned that AI shortcuts are already making kids lazy. Quote,
critical thinking and attention spans have been demolished.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
You can't.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
You can't take attention spans down further than they already were.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
I've got more information on this. It is troubling. If
you'd like to be troubled, stay tuned.
Speaker 4 (17:05):
From the Babylon, b Newsom said it's his duty to
represent the illegal immigrants who elected him.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Yeah, that's funny, I get it. Uh yeah, why did it?
Speaker 3 (17:15):
Was I misreading Glee on cable news last night when
reports came in that the uranium facilities were not No,
I was not misreading.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Glee, ar Strong and Getty.
Speaker 5 (17:28):
President Trump insists the US strikes on Iran obliterated its
nuclear program, but sources tell us a preliminary Pentagon report
indicates at least two of the Iranian nuclear facilities targeted
were not completely destroyed.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
So lots of headlines breaking yesterday.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
As I mentioned a little bit ago on my phone
with all my alerts, I got back to back like
I was reading one while another came in.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
I don't remember.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
I think the first one I got from one of
your major news sources was Iran's nuclear program mostly destroyed
by attack. While I was reading that, I got another
report come in saying assessments show Iran's nuclear program barely damaged,
could be reconstituted in months. And I thought, okay, great,
and I just kind of ignored it from there. But
(18:17):
then there was a lot of back and forth throughout
the day, Worth pointing out that all of the assessments
have very low certainty because, for obviously reasons, you can't
it just happened. Then nobody's on the ground there and
can like really inspect it. And I was watching again
Senator former Senator James Harmon on News Nation, who was
(18:38):
on the Intelligence Committee for years as a senator, saying,
until you get eyeballs on this, you're not going to
actually know, right.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
The low certainty means, all right, look, this is our
first blush glance. We're still working on it. Anybody who
would take that and run with it is doing so dishonest.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Well, and Rubio a little bit ago, and we've got
the clip, but Rubio a little bit ago said, first
reports are oft and wrong, and often the agenda of
someone in intelligence, and so yeah, there are people that
didn't want to strike that might come out with their
initial I mean, if I'm putting together a low certainty.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Assessment, I could say anything, Oh sure.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
I mean if I get to add to it, our
certainty is very low, and picture please the sort of
person who would leak a top secret right extremely preliminary,
low confidence estimate. But here's why, why would you conceivably
do that other than trying to move the political needle.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
Here's what I want to talk about.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
Which I thought was interesting is the number of newscasts,
particularly on cable news, but some of it on the
network news of it seemed like they were gleeful getting
to report that Donald Trump's attack and I say donald Trump,
because that's the way they interpret every story. It's all
through the lens of Donald Trump. That Donald Trump's attack
(19:56):
on Iran's nuclear capability didn't work, and they seemed excited
about that, And I thought, do I have Trump derangement syndrome?
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Now?
Speaker 3 (20:04):
Am I like reading into this too much that they
seem happy about this? Because I thought, how freaking weird
would that be to be happy that one of America's
primary enemies is closer to a nuclear weapon rather than
further away. But because you hate Trump so much that
makes you excited. I mean that's some twisted f and
(20:25):
thinking right there. So I thought maybe my thinking, maybe
I'm over, you know, reading their joy or something. I
flip on MSNBC this morning and it's Joe Scarborough talking
to one of my favorite foreign correspondents or international news talkers,
David Ignacious of the Washington Post. He and David Sanger
(20:46):
in New York Times have such great sources. They're always
worth a read on big stories.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Like this, and David Ignacius actually said critics might want
to think through their criticism, as if the nuclear facility
is not destroyed, that would be a reason.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
To go back in and continue military action.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
So I thought one, okay, yeah, right, and critics, what
does critics mean? I mean, are you just going with
assessments outside of politics?
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Are you making this about politics?
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Then Josscarborough actually.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
Said out loud, he said, yeah, people are doing touchdown
dances around this. Might want to rethink it. I thought, okay,
I wasn't making this up in my head. People were
doing touchdown.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Dances in media over the fact that maybe we didn't
destroy the facility completely.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
That's crazy. You are crazy.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
You need to take a vacation and think about your life. Yeah,
and what you're doing with it and the way your
brain works.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
If you're excited that.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Iran might get a bomb because that would make Trump
somehow look bad or something, What the freak is wrong.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
With you people?
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Well an ignacious is quote was kind of odd in
a way. It's the world he lives in. But talking
about how you ought to measure or you know, roll
back your enthusiasm because it might mean what more attacks
in the future. But that's that is an absolute confession
that we and these people we don't assess things based
on the facts as we see them.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
We run it entirely through our emotional That's exactly right,
That's exactly right. Well he was suggesting is those of
you who are or are you just using your I
guess it's just plain old partisanship, but on you know,
a radioactive partisanship because Trump's involved to assess news stories.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
How twisted is that is that where we are as
a country, you would rather Iran gets a nuke if
it would look to make trumple look bad.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
That's so crazy.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Yeah, I was reading something the other day that made
an impression on me. They were making the point, and
we've slid inch by inch, foot by foot to this point,
so I've kind of gotten used to it. But this
sort of hyper partisan reaction to real world events, including
events like Iran's nuclear capability of being set back by
months or years, whatever it turns out to be. And
(23:11):
nobody's sure right now, literally, nobody is sure right now
that sort of unequivocally good event or action by a
president would be celebrated on both sides of the aisle.
Nobody would would freak out. It's saying, you know, Carter
did a good job of getting bacon and set out together.
(23:32):
That was really admirable. Nobody would hesitate to say that
because it's patently just clearly true. Well right now, you cannot,
you will not, you must not ever say yeah, that
went well, that is so crazy.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
Yeah, it is seriously that that's a bad place to be.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
Scarborough actually saying those of everybody doing touchdown dances around this, Wow,
you're thrilled.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
You're high fiving. Yeah, Ran might have a nuke and
be able to kill lots of us.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
So there's and lots of Jews whoooo right, because you're nuts.
You need to quit or leave the country because you're
no patriot.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
Wow, that's despicable. It is despicable. That's why I'm so
agitated about it. It's despicable. You actually are not a patriot.
Get out of the country. You're greater to your nation. Yeah,
you're your emotions of so jaundice or you know, infected
your judgment.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
You're no longer a functioning adult. That's sick.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
Can you imagine, let's let's play a little shoe on
the other foot game. Can you imagine somebody saying, man,
I hope Seal Team six missed Osama bin Laden.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
I hope Osama got out of there.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
I hope Obama's mission was unsuccessful.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
That would make you a scumbag. Yes it would, well,
you would, so prosecution rests.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
But taking it a little logically further like David did,
is the idea that if it didn't completely destroy the
nuclear facility, because that's gonna happen, it either got destroyed
or didn't. If it didn't, we're going back the idea,
I mean, in case you haven't caught onto this yet,
is we're not gonna let ran get a nuke period.
(25:17):
So I don't know what you're rooting for here. I'm
rooting for Iran not getting a nuke one way or
the other.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
I think.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
Also a really interesting thing one in the Wall Street Journal.
This is what Joe's been talking about. This is where
we are now, and I don't know why it hasn't
happened already.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Trump could offer two.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
Tests immediately to see if the regime is willing to
change or not.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
First, Hey, Ayatola, will you.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
Grant the IAEA, the International Atomic Energy Agency Inspector's immediate
access to examine the nuclear sites.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
Like right now today? Right? Will you or won't you?
Speaker 3 (25:54):
If not, Iran has no intention of dismantling their nuclear
enrichment program period correct? And also, hey, Iran, will you
recognize Israel's right to exist and renounce its desire to
wipe the Jewish state off the map?
Speaker 2 (26:09):
Say it today? And if they don't, then they're the
same country, right, which is why? And that's great.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
That kind of rounds out my argument and wish I
in a way I wish I had done yesterday. I
was annoyed, offended that Trump was yelling at Israel to stop.
You got to stop now, I have declared to seize fire.
Now it's time to stop because Israel has made the
judgment that the answer to both of those propositions or
questions you just post the journal just post is no.
(26:39):
Iran will not let the IAE in. They will not
grant free access to all their plans and their programs.
They won't there's not a chance, and they are not
going to recognize the evil Jewish state as legitimate. So
there's no point in another round of negotiations with those
who have vowed to wipe us off the face of
the earth, and on October seventh, took a hell of
(26:59):
a step towards doing it.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
No, Well, we have a plan we're executing.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
I feel like they're two separate things because we don't
need to be involved in the second one. If they
don't have a nuke, hey, Israel, do what you got
to do or what you want to do. But we're
not going to war with Iran, right, But the first one,
we can't let them get a nuke. So if you're
not gonna if you're not gonna let inspectors in today.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Bombing continues by the United States, well, right, I agree
with that one hundred percent.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
It's the constraining of Israel that bothers me. If Trump
says that's all we're doing, you're on your own note,
that's fine. But to say at Israel you have to
stop now, that that is wrong. That is a misunderstanding
of the situation, and I'm sure it's frustrating the crap
out of the Israelis depending on their perception of whether
they've gotten the mission accomplished or not, or to what
(27:48):
extent they've accomplished the mission.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
And one other little piece of this is from David
Ignatius's column today in the Washington Post. The most urgent
post war challenge is finding and destroying a Ran stockpile
of about nine hundred pounds of sixty percent enriched uranium
that is fuel for a dirty bomb they could use
in weeks if we don't get it controlled. Israel and
(28:11):
American sources both say they know where the four hundred
kilograms are located. We only hope that that's true. I
hope that's true. You certainly wouldn't announce out loud though.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
We don't have any idea where that is. You're never
going to say that.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
Well, you would say whatever you needed to say to
accomplish your mission, or I don't believe a syllable of anything.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
I will tell you though, I thought I was beyond
cynical about media and their partisanship and all that sort
of stuff. But I was still shocked today and last
night to see people excited that maybe Iran can get
a nuke because they hate Trump so much. It was
more worse than I even thought.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
That's shocking, It is disgusting.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
It is disgusting, sitting here literally disgusted anyway.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
Yeah, and it's funny.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
The criticism from their own channel, from Joe Scarborough, who
claimed to be a conservative his whole life, was not
your disgusting, anti patriotic scumbags who've lost their mind.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
It was you might be wrong. Yeah yeah, whoa, whoa, whoa.
It might have been.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
Successful and in pushing the Mullas away from the you know,
ability to.
Speaker 3 (29:31):
And then Trump did his wind damn it, Yeah, damn
you freaking weirdos. Okay, we got mail bag on the way.
I'm perfectly fine with that. Be interested in any thoughts
on that text line four one five nine KFTC. Several
people are have asked, yes, we are going to play
(29:53):
the bomb Iran song that Trump truthed out last night
over footage of two bombers flying and taking off and
landing bomb bomb iran. Hey, iyatola, gonna put you in
a box bomb iran. Oh, that's from the President of
the United States.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
Oh golly gee, these are hard times. I'd say they
are odd times. Here's your freedom loving quote of the day.
And I want to talk about this more later.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
I've got this weird fantasy. No, nothing like that. Ah.
Do I have time to even touch on this? Well,
I'll read the quote. It's another one from Clarence Thomas.
His seventy seventh birthday was Monday. And I love this,
love this, love this seventy seven. Yeah, he says quote.
(30:41):
One of the things I say is that genius is
not putting a ten cent idea in a twenty dollars sentence.
Genius is putting a twenty dollars idea in a ten
cent sentence. It is to make it as accessible as
possible to average people. I think we owe it to people.
That's talking about writing decisions.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
That's really good.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
Oh that is so lots of smart people who know
lots of words go out of their way to use
lots of words that's always bothered me about George. Well, hey, George,
well you could write that and use words that everybody knows.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
I know you're smarter than I am.
Speaker 3 (31:13):
How about you it using words everybody knows, so you
can make your brilliant point, because the point's usually brilliant,
but you don't have to use all the words.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
Yeah, yeah, So I can tell you more about my
fantasy later.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
It has to do with that very concept.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
I've been helping someone make sure their arguments are landing
the way they think they are, and I love it
more than anything, being like an editor.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
Anyway, more on that later.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
Mailbag drop us a note speaking of conveying ideas. Mail
Bag at Armstrong and Getty dot com, Anna Luisa and
Sunny Lamesa writes, old timy wisdom, guys, for all the
talk of various scumbags, it reminds me one of my
favorite old timey sayings, cream to the top, and so
does pond scum.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
That's pretty good, Oh, Luisa, I love that.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
Good gracious, and then she wishes us fun vacations, So
thank you very much. Next week t shirt idea from
Darren Hey, simple Jack and Gentleman Joe I've got an
idea for an ang T shirt, lock up Criminals, not
my toothpaste.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
What do you think? Yeah? I think that's great. Thanks Darren.
Good thinking. Let's see.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
Oh lordy, that brings me down. I'm not reading that one.
It's unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
Maybe later.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
TJ and the Dang writes fellas that clip from Today's
One More Thing, the Sophie Cunningham clip. She's the n
w NBA player who volunteered to be an enforcer to
protect Caitlin Clark. It sounded, AI, don't get me wrong,
very funny, but I think we may have been duped.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Speaker 3 (32:54):
Yeah, yeah, we wondered about that too. It was weirdly edited,
but we did some research on that. Couldn't verify it
really either way, other than we found some clips of
her saying those things, so it seems to be maybe
it was put together you I don't know, but it
seems like she said all those things.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
Yeah. I don't have any idea at all. Do you
want to hear a small piece of it? Sure? Why not?
Speaker 1 (33:19):
Hello?
Speaker 2 (33:19):
Everyone, I'm Sophie Cunningham. I don't start trouble, but I'm
never afraid of it.
Speaker 4 (33:23):
You can provoke anyone, but there's one person you don't touch,
Caitlin Clark, even if it comes to a fight.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
I'm not worried about anyone pulling my hair.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
Why it's a I, you think, just flat out of
the completely made election of And I noticed this yesterday
about it kind of went by.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
There's one person you don't touch, Kitlyn Clark.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
That is a I that doesn't recognize there's an implied
comma there, there's one person you don't touch, Caitlin Clark.
A human being wouldn't have that emphasis on the words.
Speaker 3 (33:54):
Well, and maybe it is. I don't know what to
do with life anymore. I mean, what are we going
to do as a society?
Speaker 2 (34:02):
Pour myself at cocktail? I know what to do with life.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
No, no video or audio you ever come across as
might all be fake.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
So what are you gonna do?
Speaker 1 (34:11):
Hey, in that video I skipped, I'm sorry the email
I skipped. It had to do with AI video, but
very sickening in perverse, you know, just adding to your thought,
let's see.
Speaker 3 (34:24):
Videos that are taking the chick down in the headlocker reel.
I know that because I saw those from the highlights
of the game.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
Don't doubt it. JT.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
And Livermore says, enough with the claim that Trump's actions
were unconstitutional. I've often said that ninety percent of Democrat
arguments can be defeated with a dictionary and or a calculator.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
That's good, oh ba.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
The Warpowers Resolution requires the President to notify Congress within
forty eight hours of committing armed services to military action
and forbids armed forces from the remaining for more than
sixty days with a further thirty day withdrawal period without
congressional authorization, et cetera, et cetera. Notify Congress yep. Did
Trump leave forces for more than sixty days?
Speaker 2 (35:03):
Nope? Qed? Is it Latin?
Speaker 3 (35:06):
Is it still constitutional if you put out a song
parody about bombing the country without authorization from Congress? Ah?
Speaker 1 (35:13):
I'm not a constitutional expert, but i'm a bit of
a that's a really bad effing idea expert, and I'm
leaning toward it's that a really bad idea.
Speaker 2 (35:23):
We'll play that for you an hour two funny but
in poor taste. Of course, that's kind of our show.
