Speaker 1 (00:01):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Washington Broadcast Center.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Jack Armstrong, Joe Katty, I'm strong and Getty and he
I'm strong and Getty.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
The father and son who were the gunmen here with
radical Islam, a fifty year old man in his twenty
four year old son, and they began firing indiscriminately. But
it was the heroic actions of a forty three year
old Syrian migrant who actually managed to wrestle that weapon
away from the father.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
The brave Syrian.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
Who intervened was shot himself by the son, and eventually
the father died of the scene and the twenty four
year old, who was born in Australia is now in
police custody.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
He's under watch at hospital.
Speaker 4 (00:59):
Father son is lifemist in Australia, killed a bunch of Jews.
That if you haven't seen that video of the brave
dude who tackled the sun and got the gun away
from him. Who knows how many lives he saved, could
be dozens, right, because that shooting.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Went on for ten freaking minutes.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
God, if you're in a big crowd and somebody starts shooting,
I would have in my mind, you know, get to
cover run whatever is going to be the best thing here,
and then in fairly soon this will be over a
couple minutes, max, sure, ten minutes, yeah, yeah, before we
get to more horror.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Well, this is horror too.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
Joe and I both interested in the fact that, for instance,
the New York Post has six different Rob Reiner stories
up to eight.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Now first eight stories on the website are all about
Rob Reiner.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
Yeah, an interesting story, no doubt. I was a big
Rob Reiner fan, not his politics, but his art.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Rob Reiner fan. These movies.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
I remember when I used to think I'll go to
any Rob Reiner movie that comes out. They had been
so consistently good for so many in a row. I
don't feel like stand By Me has been mentioned enough today. Man,
is that a good movie with the little kids? But anyway,
he and his wife stabbed to death. You probably heard
that story. They've arrested his son, their son, and he
(02:23):
was a regularly homeless drug addict. And what a horrible,
horrible story. But it has no bigger significance than that.
This whole is longists going around shooting people, causing mayhem
around the world.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Is a giant global story. Now, is that what.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
Was going on with this terror plot in la which
we'd all just became aware of. Like in the last hour,
the FBI arrested four people in a terror plot that
was supposed to begin on New Year's Even Los Angeles.
They just had their press conference. Let's hear a little
bit about how that went.
Speaker 5 (02:57):
The charges we are announcing today stem from the defendants
and their co conspirators detailed coordinated plot to bomb multiple
US companies on New Year's Eve. Thankfully, that plot has
now been foiled thanks to the hard work of the
FBI and the Department of Justice. This investigation was initiated
(03:18):
in part due to the September twenty twenty five executive
order signed by President Trump Trump to root out left
wing domestic terror organizations in our country, such as Antifa
and other radical groups like the Turtle Island Liberation Front.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
Okay, the Turtle Island Liberation Front, at least, according to
the article I read, was all about the Palestinian Cause.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
And yeah, yeah, they're kind of the whole intersectional Omnik cause,
militantly angry about capitalism and the Jews in Palestine.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
Well, let's hear the next clip where it explains what
these people are about.
Speaker 5 (03:57):
And if anyone does not believe that members of these
groups are organized, sophisticated, and extremely violent, let me tell
you about the plot.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
In this case.
Speaker 5 (04:07):
The four defendants, Audrey Carroll thirty years old, Zachary Aaron
Page thirty two, Dante Gaffield twenty four, and Tinla forty one,
each from the Los Angeles area. Each is charged with
conspiracy and possession of an unregistered destructive device in violation
of Title twenty six United States Code, Section five eight six' ONE.
(04:29):
D we intend to file additional charges in the coming
weeks as we finish reviewing the. Evidence the defendants are
all radical anti government members of The Turtle Island Liberation, front,
which according to their own social media is an anti,
capitalist anti government movement that calls for their associates to
(04:49):
rise up and fight back against.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
Capitalism, okay that's interesting to portraying it that, way because
least The New York post portrayal was it was about,
free Free.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Palaestine this guy with THE fd to ice and LIKE i,
said it's The.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
Omnikause, yeah, MA'AM i don't. Know are you more motivated
by one than the other when you're these. Men WHEN
i heard those, NAMES i, Thought i'll bet they all
have graduate degrees of some sort and they probably all
come from well to do.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Families probably Good, lord they're la chapter is called on
THE Us, government Called i'm sorry THE us government and
an Illegal american, empire demanded a Free, palestine Free, hawaii
and Free Puerto. Rico they are also anti capitalist and
hardcore Anti.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
Israel, man this sounds like early Seventies Patty hurst's.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Stuff, yeah it really.
Speaker 1 (05:43):

kill people and hurt.

a pretty good, PRESCRIPTION i think for drinking too. Much

Speaker 2 (12:51):
Something OH i thought you're looking the other way. Around
oh, OKAY i see what you.
Speaker 4 (12:55):
Mean, yeah, yeah you're not just marrying a old person
that's out of his mind trying to take their.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Money well that, too that, Too, yeah that's What i'm.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
Saying, yeah she is forty six years, younger coming in at.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Fifty four years. Old, wow they've been married since twenty.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
Twelve, yeah AND i mean so, YEAH i mean that
is obviously an incredible age. Difference but still she's almost,
fifty so it's not like she's a kid not knowing
what she's getting.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Into you know. What it's a bit of a variation
on the usual you know. Dynamics but those two crazy
kids are. HAPPY i wish him. Well SO i found
this really.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Interesting you marry about you married.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
Somebody fifty years older than. You you are definitely getting
married with the knowledge that they are going to.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Die before you most. Likely, ah it's not some sort
of you, know.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
It didn't look for a bus coming from the left
or something. Exactly the proverbial early death a. Buss, yeah,
yeah that's that's. Again if he loved her.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Companionship she enjoyed His, again it's a bit of but
what the, heck the Great dick Van.
Speaker 4 (14:02):
Dyke she want him to only date other one hundred year. Olds,
man his bumble profile is going to be really.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Difficult well, yeah, yeah there's not gonna be a lot
of volume. There, YEAH i see your. Point, ANYWAY i
found this super interesting his story about The january sixth
pipe bombing. Attack they just made that arrest that what
was a thirty year old guy in suburban, well Northern, virginia.
Speaker 4 (14:25):
Lives with his, parents kind of works at their. Place
maybe it is.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Autistic, yeah, Yeah and of course they mentioned That Dan,
bongino when he's a, podcaster said it was an inside
job blah blah.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Blah but it's.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Actually kind of a good transition because they point out
he learned something far different after becoming the number TWO fbi.
Official investigators weren't hiding, evidence they just didn't realize they
had it for four. Years they had this enormous trange
of cell phone data provided BY T.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Mobile it set on a.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Shelf digitally, speaking it was there in a fire well
because investigators couldn't figure out how to read it and
what to do with.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
It, well that's worth of people familiar with the.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
Matter that's WHY i said the day after the, ARREST
i wonder IF ai is going to be able to
solve kinds of cases in the future where they can
take in all that, information location, information cell phone, records
just all kinds of different, stuff you, know receipts from
the hardware store that turned out to be, important and
just put it all together in a way that it
would take way too many man hours to.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Solve oh, yeah, YEAH i think you're one hundred percent.
Right this was cracked when a tech savvy law enforcement
officer wrote a new computer program that could deal with
and decipher that mountain of, information and that's how they
broke the. Case i'm surprised that something like that hadn't happened,
Before but.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
It hadn't because it was an enormous.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
Investigation can you imagine how hard that would be as,
individuals human individuals to do that, though put it all.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Together, oh just the sheer volume of data to look.
At yeah, Yeah so bureau spared no, expense using powerful
digital tools that produced a sea of information so detailed
that it surprised even longtime. Investigators agents studied thousands of
pipe purchases at home depot stores Across. America for, instance
(16:17):
they analyzed data From google and an attempt to isolated
individuals who might have searched online for instructions about how
to make pipe bombs and for directions to THE rnc
and THE. Dnc they examined who'd paid for parking in the,
area explored whether a rented home airbnbvrbo might have been
used as a staging ground in preparation for planting the
pripe pup. Bombs just all sorts of, data but, again all,
(16:40):
right now what do we do with?
Speaker 4 (16:41):
It the son Of Rob, Reiner Nick, reiner has been
officially charged with murder in the deaths of his, Parents
Rob reiner And Michelle Singer reiner officially charged with. Murder
so solved fairly. Quickly just so now it's just a,
horrible horrible family. Story could happen, anybody does happen to people.
Occasionally that's, Rough, yeah, yeah. Terrible nothing more really to
(17:07):
say about. That we got more on the. WAY i
hope you can stay, Here.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Armstrong and.
Speaker 7 (17:14):
Getty President trump laying out the stakes, again saying land
strikes are on the, table as some fifteen thousand troops
deployed in the region await orders in the, meantime now targeting.
Oil the sea's tanker now on its way To, texas
AS us officials say more seizures like this could be coming.
Soon THE us sanctioning six more tankers Shipping venezuelan, oil
(17:37):
and that will ratchet up pressure On venezuela's beleaguered, president
as oil exports are The maduto government's number one source of.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Revenue, mahuro nice. Job no more For venezuela and. Oil
that's WHAT i.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
Say land strikes are either on the table or completely
not on the. Table but to announce that they're, not
obviously would be giving up a make your point of.
Pressure so why the hell would you do? IT i
never understand those questions that answers when it comes to
asking presidents about.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
That, yeah, well And trump, ESPECIALLY i, mean he's got
made a career ON i don't, know maybe we just
cancel the whole hotel, project right and the developers wait, wait,
wait whoa whoa not come on, now let's throw stuff. Around.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
Uh they may see Sixty minutes last night and the
feature About germany and how they are re arming for
the first time Since World War, two since The, nazis.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Which they mentioned like ten. Times, yes we know it's
the that was eighty years. Ago Let germany defend itself
and become an ally worth. HAVING i don't Think hitler's
going to raise rise from the grave and Start World
war two.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Again all, Right let The germans arm.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
Themselves i've read more About World War one And World
war two and even they're going to war With france
in eighteen seventy than most.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
People AND i.
Speaker 4 (18:59):
Still am not like worried that That germany has anything
to do with Today's. Germany that doesn't make any sense
to me.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Exactly are The german people a little, militaristic a little
willing to go along with authority when told to do horrific? Things,
yes but now we can keep an eye on. Them
it's a different. Era, well have you, know we'll have
what do you call, it annual review meetings with You?
Germany sit?
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Down? Anything would you like a bottle of? Water know you? Good,
okay let's talk about whether you've Become nazis or not.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
Again so they add The German Defense minister on their
sec deaf, basically and he pointed out several things that were.
INTERESTING a reminder That germany is the number three economy
in the, world Behind china And.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Russia so they got.
Speaker 4 (19:45):
Money they're spending more than they have spent in a
very very long, time, sorry in The United states And.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
China, YEAH i don't know why if They're russia in.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
There So germany is a big player, economically and they're
donating more, money donating ending more money than they have
in a very long time on re arming and training people,
up and they're very very serious about. It AND i
thought the little speech that the their second deaf gave
at the end of sixty minutes last night about, how,
hey if you like, freedom if you like getting to
(20:14):
worship how you, want if you liked the ability to,
organize and you want to keep, that.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
You need to be willing to defend.
Speaker 4 (20:19):
YOURSELF i love that sort of talk out of people
on the right side of the, equation the correct side
of the, EQUATION i, mean all.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
Right AND i liked how he directed some of his
examples clearly to a lefty. Audience oh you want to
and he wasn't, explicit but do you like gay? Rights
you like to marry whoever you? Want where what you,
want that sort of you'd better be ready to fight for.
Speaker 4 (20:42):
It, yeah so that's a big. DEAL i don't, know
And i'm, completely honestly do not understand why this is
only portrayed by like the En bremers of the world
as a, negative that The United states Putting europe in
a position where they have to defend. Themselves why is
(21:02):
that only a, negative like we're. UNRELIABLE i don't want
to be an unreliable. ALLY i get, though why that
would be a, Negative but the whole, hey you're.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
Not even willing to defend, yourself why should we do?
It seems reasonable to.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Me, yeah, YEAH i think You're Ian's bremer might, say,
well they're in the midst of a fight right.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
Now now is not the time to make a big you,
know a good.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
Time it hasn't worked when they're not under, threat then
they really don't.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
Care, yeah SO i don't understand.
Speaker 4 (21:32):
THAT i think it's a good thing That, germany for, instance,
think you, know we better be able to defend. Ourselves
we can't just count on The United states to defend.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
Us.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Yeah, YEAH i think that's.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
GREAT i think some of the Things trump has said
About ukraine And russia beyond it just, terrible beyond a.
Doubt and that's kind of the other half of that.
Sandwich that at a bittersweet international bloodshed.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Sandwich but, yeah there's there's truth both, SIDES i. Guess
but the best part Was.
Speaker 4 (22:03):
Germany not only just like you, know training up basically
marines to crawl under barbed wire and shoot people like
in kind of classic getting a military ready to.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Go they're doing sort of our like like we do
with our what is that.
Speaker 4 (22:16):
Secret thing where we'd invest money in crazy Stuff Dark,
Darva Dark, Paw Dark.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
PAUL i, think, yeah, yeah where we do all the secret.
Speaker 4 (22:24):
Stuff they're working on cockroaches that were little backpacks and
you can steer.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Them they actually showed it On Sixty minutes last.
Speaker 4 (22:31):
Night they had the correspondent on there steering cockroaches. Around
it's you use a little controller like you're driving a
remote control.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
Car and you can drive the cockroach left or right
or for or. Whatever it's got a little camera on
its back or. Whatever the.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Hell, WELL i think back to WHEN i was a little.
KID i never Dreamed i'd live in a world where
driveable camper. Cockroaches we're going to be part of my.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Life remote control. Cockroaches, yeah it's.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Yeah and they showed this promotional video of the company
of what it would be like when they get the
technology perfected and shrink down like the cameras and stuff like,
that And i've got to admit it's you, know it's
probably a precursor to like completely mechanical little bugs that'll
fly around or crawl around or whatever and infiltrate anywhere
you need. To but looked like a pretty decent avenue worth. Pursuing,
(23:24):
Yeah i'd say. So.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
Well through, evolution cockroaches are like the greatest drone possibly
ever imagined in terms of their ability to squeeze into little,
cracks and it's very difficult to get rid of.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Them, yeah, yeah they don't you, know they don't need
a fancy diet, either, evidently.
Speaker 4 (23:44):
No, no, Yeah and so they steer in these little
cockroaches around that they said could have cameras on them
or listening devices or all kinds of different.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
Things what's war gonna look like?
Speaker 1 (23:58):
When because the current situation like In ukraine that everybody's talking,
about including, us with rapidly developing drone and counter drone
technologies changing the battlefield every couple of, months and we
talked about THE us military just held a giant exercise
doing experiments with that and trying to get familiar with
it In, Hawaii Humid, Island, Pacific.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
China, anyway that's a preliminary.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Step the next step is probably going to, be you,
know controlling flocks of drones of various sizes and capabilities infiltrating.
Everywhere they've talked about microdrones that can fly into people's
young lungs and set off and. Explosives oh my, god exploding. Lungs, yeap,
yeah my new heavy metal. Band, anyway what's warfare even
(24:49):
gonna look? Like when there are uncountable numbers of that
things being turned out a, factory those things turned out
of factories and sent into the battlefield in incomprehensible.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Numbers what we're gonna look Like.
Speaker 4 (25:03):
It'll be all about the building a what Does trump call,
it golden, dome plutonium, dome whatever sort of dome you're
gonna build over you that keeps that sort of thing
from being able to get. IN i guess.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Yeah but they'll like the microdrones the size of you,
know particularly small fleas or.
Speaker 4 (25:21):
Whatever, well and then remote control. Cockroaches For god's, Sake
god help. US i thought that was.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
An interesting thing they threw in.
Speaker 4 (25:30):
There it seemed like it should have been like a
separate story from the importance of training up a new
military to be prepared For putin's.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
Army and we got cockroaches you can steer with a.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
Joystick not everybody was as fixated as you are on,
them ALTHOUGH i got a Picture i'm picturing walking into
my kitchen in the middle of the, night flipping on
the light and a bomb goes off BECAUSE i frightened
the cockroaches that happen to be laden with.
Speaker 4 (25:55):
Bombs can we do a quick check in with our
fundraiser for the trying to raise money For Scouting?
Speaker 1 (26:01):
America, yeah what's? Next gun wielding? Rats oh my? God
huh think about. It oh my, God probably it's. Right
so here's what we're. Doing my son joined The Boy.
SCOUTS i was blown away by how great scouting is
and what it does for young, people mostly boys girls can.
Join most of my experiences seeing boys and just how
(26:25):
much sure they, are and the leadership stuff they learned.
Everything i'll be hearing more about that throughout the.
Speaker 4 (26:29):
Week so we're raising money basically so more kids can Join,
scouting because it does cost a couple hundred bucks depending.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
On where you are to.
Speaker 4 (26:39):
Do everything you need to do to, join and we
don't like the idea of anybody not being able to
join because of the. Money so this is basically like
raising money for, scholarships.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
Especially because it's the opposite of like slacker kids who
are raised to hate their. Country oh, yeah, atriots, capable, smart, self.

SYRIA i, Know i've wondered that for a long. Time
it's not Like i'm some sort of military insider that
understands why that is helpful or.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
Necessary but that shocked me from the.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
Beginning i've never thought of The National guard as a
force that goes to fight foreign.
Speaker 4 (31:04):
Moors maybe there's a good, explanation, Man we ought to
talk To mikliness about. It but you, Know we've got
pretty good recruitment numbers over the last year joining the,
army in the military and everything like. That we don't
have people that joined the army that would be doing
that role as opposed to.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
Guardsmen rightly surprised by, That.
Speaker 4 (31:27):
Yeah, YEAH i would, agree AND i would Assume trump
is going to retaliate with a fairly strong response to isis.

Trump act is he he'll whoop a little, ass which is. Good,
hey speaking of warfare and some of the unforeseen, CONSEQUENCES

cambodia are are trying to kill each?
