Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty arm Strong

Speaker 2 (00:24):
The TSA just reminded travelers that Costco cards cannot get you.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Through airport security. However, it does count as a pilot's
license for Spirit Airlines, the old Spirit Airlines joke. That's
kind of funny because I got my real ID now,
so I feel like, you know, a real baller that
I can go get on a domestic flight and fly
anywhere in the country if I want to, because I
have the real idea. I didn't know people were trying
to use their Costco cards. I'm a Costco member, Can
(00:50):
I get on this plane? That's funny. They've got better
security than most places. Uh yeah, yeah, so this I
didn't hear about it. Somebody asked me yesterday, like you
hear about all these protests. I'm driving from northern California
to Long Beach through LA on Saturday with my son,
maybe with some other boy scouts, and uh there is.
(01:13):
I do have some concern that since the protests have
closed down, you know, some of the major freeways that
if that's going on on Saturday, we ain't getting where
we're supposed to get on time. If that happens, Wow,
which is going to be a serious drag. But there's
also this big protest on the fourteenth, which is Saturday.
(01:33):
That's Trump's birthday. It's also this week is the birthday
of the Army, two hundred and fifty birthday, and that's
the reason Trump is having this giant military parade in Washington,
d C. With a whole bunch of our ore, you know,
our our our equipment. They're gonna be praying through the
street like the Soviet Union. Uh and uh march and army.
(01:54):
You made your face. You made your face. This is radio.
You gotta use words to express how unhappy you are
with what I said out us out forrageous. I just
I don't know. I lean against the parade. I'm not
hardcore on this. I just I think I'd rather we
didn't than we did. There's gotta be some reason we
didn't used to do it in the past.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
I just think it was to indicate the opposite of
what you were hinting at, that we're not a militaristic.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
You know, land hungry, crusading power. We just want to
be friends and do business.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Yes, we've got an enormous, powerful military, but that's not
what we're about, right, I'm tying, Yeah, I kind of
take it as we're ideas that are better and spreading
around the world.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
You're saying might makes right. That's not our message.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Yeah, there is a spirit of will whoop your ass,
Like walking into everywhere you go, the dentist's office, the
grocery store. You know you did a job interview, I
could whoop your ass. Now, let's talk about this position.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
It's just.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
I understand the point of view that says that has
too much of that feel to it.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
I'm not sure I agree. I'm not sure I do either.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Because the grandeur, the courage, the the you know, the
manly beauty in a way of our armed forces, the
people and the equipment is awesome to behold. And I
don't mind the idea of kids beholding it.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Especially Joe dropped a manly beauty. But even NPR pointed
out they like, if you're watching a football game and
a stealth bomber goes overhead, you think, oh, that's freaking awesome.
Everybody gets chills. And roars their enthusiasm and patriotism. The
super Bowl crowd doesn't generally boo boo too militaristic, right, right,
(03:52):
So there's that anyway, same day people who hate Trump
and think this country sucks and everything like that. First
of all, moved the candad. It's second they're promoting this
no Kings, No Crowns protest, a nationwide day of defiance,
and I just heard about it yesterday. But it's kind
of growing as we get closer. It's either gonna be
a big deal with riot and all over the country.
(04:13):
My guess would be it's gonna fizzle and be not
much of anything. Wow, just generalized defiance. Do I get
to break mind? Yeah? Now, hat out of the closet
where it's been collecting dust for you know, seven years.
Generalized defiance. I hate that parking spots are too small
for my truck. Who's with me? Down with the designated hitter?
(04:35):
So it's from ten to two all across the country.
But I wasn't aware of this. First of all, I
saw a couple of people say, who's doing the messaging
for the left? I mean, you have to assume this
is organized by somebody with some power or money or something.
Your messaging is no kings, no crowns. What the hell
does that mean? I didn't know this until I read it.
(04:55):
It is a dog whistle to the anarchist antith A crowd,
which frequently uses that phrase. Another example of fairly mainstream
left organization adopting a hardcore militant framework. No kings, no
crowns is a you know, that's that's the rallying cry
of the mask smashed the windows out anarchist crowd. That
(05:19):
doesn't seem like a good message to latch onto if
I'm trying to be a mainstream organization.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Well right, that's yeah, that's interesting. There there are dynamics
running both ways. I mean, if you're like just an
average left a center person, you probably don't want to
be associated with that. And I would think if I
were a hardcore ANTIFA person, what are they thinking. We'll
attract more people to our point of view or it
will just water you down until you're nothing.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
We'll attract more people with our point of view with
a phrase nobody's ever heard before. Yeah don't, I don't.
I don't get this either. Well that's the point. Who's
doing the messaging for the left.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
It's just so vague. All right, well, good luck with
that between ten and two. Come on, you split the
day in half. I can't do anything cool in the morning.
It's too late to do anything cool in the afternoon.
Schedule your damn weirdly vague. I'm against something protest for
like nine in the morning. Yeah, it's either a morning
thing or an afternoon thing. You've completely ruined lunch ten
(06:21):
to two. Please, all right, Michael, let's have a transition.
Come on now, bang them alright, let's talk about China.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
China.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
First of all, I thought it was interesting the folks
at the National Review pretty harsh about Trump's negotiations with
China and the world at this point. Their main point being,
and this is gonna be very generalized, but that we
are so over the barrel with China. This is so
(06:52):
serious and important and difficult. The stuff with China in trade.
To throw everything up in the air with all of
our other trading partners and threaten them with tariffs and
make them think we can't be counted on and stuff,
that was a terrible mistake because.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
We need all the friends we can get. I get that. Yeah,
I don't think they're wrong. Time will tell, of course.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
But here's the key part to me, how over a
barrel we are with China, And switching over to the
Wall Street Journal now they're writing about how the era
of weaponized supply chains have arrived Washington Beijing with these
super high level negotiations, and they're not about like tariffs
(07:35):
and access to markets and stuff like that like they
usually are. They're about choking off supplies to each other
of rare earths in the rare earth materials in case
China or US, cutting off their access to super advanced
semiconductor technology and that sort of thing. And it's more
like an arms control negotiation than a trade negotiation, which
(07:59):
I thought was interest but that adds that that leads
us to this the whole rare earth thing, which is
interestingly enough, not that rare. There's lots of this stuff,
but it's very very expensive to mine and very very
expensive to refine. So anyway, uh, rare earth market by country?
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Will you remind me for some reason that that reminded me? Uh?
I want to tell you about the dream I had
very powerful dream in which Joe and I were doing
our radio show from Mars. Wow. Yeah, it's really interesting. Okay,
back to you. Wow, unlikely unless they get golf courses
and Scotch on Mars. I'm not going. For some reason,
(08:44):
they decided the first people on Mars be a talk show,
and they chose us. It's a little hard to figure
that out, but we'll skip that later. They can wed fast,
they are, I tell you, nobody's more surprised than me.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Elon anyway. So if you talk about the rare earth stuff,
and it's incredibly important to virtually every twenty first century
technology you can think of, from you know, computer chips
to cars to you know, just advanced weapons systems, fighter jets,
(09:19):
you know, air defense systems. It's just the stuff is
all full of this, these materials. So rare earth market
share by country magnets. China has ninety percent of it.
We have none. The rest of the world has that
last ten percent. The refining of rare earth materials, China
(09:41):
is at eighty eight percent of it. We have nothing.
The rest of the world has about twelve percent of it.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Wow. The mining, China has sixty nine percent of it,
We have about twelve.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Or thirteen percent of it, and the rest of the
world has the last eighteen or so percent the reserves
of the stuff. China has forty eight percent or so.
We have about two percent. The rest of the world
has the other forty eight forty nine percent. Well, so
on a lot of that stuff. It's not just they're
ahead of us or competitive. They're like all of it
and we're none of it. Oh yeah, we're really big
(10:19):
and diabetic and they have all the insulin. It's practically
that bad.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Wow. And that's part of what the negotiations are about.
Why would why would China give on any of that?
Speaker 2 (10:33):
So we would give them access to the computer chips,
the semiconductors, the super advanced ones. But so we have
to in order to get our you know, would you
like a drug metaphor instead, we're heroin addicts were dying
for the stuff they have it, And in order to
get our heroin, we've had to say, Okay, we're trying
(10:55):
to choke off your military that's trying to take over
the earth and conquer the United States. Well, here's those
chips you need for your military back again, because we
got to have our rare earth stuff. It's a hell
of a spot to be in in many essential sectors
of the Modern Economy. Quoting The Journal, China has the
upper hand. The world's second largest economy accounts for about
(11:17):
a third of global manufacturing output, giving it a potential
choke hold on autoparts, basic ingredients for drugs, key parts
of the electronic supply chain, in a host of other
industrial sectors.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
It is the.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
World's number one exporter of machinery, ships, steel, ceramics, textiles,
and dozens of other goods according to the International Trade Center,
and the US dominates fewer sectors. Our clout and advanced
technology is great, and it's big, and it's important, but
the whole supply chain, resilience and access to the things
(11:51):
we really really need is an enormous challenge for this
country right now.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Hard to imagine a worse position to be in visa v.
China shouldn't have allowed this to happen in the first place.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
No, indeed, and again it's yet another example of we've
gotten so far down the road of Crazyville.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
The solution is going to be crazy. Yeah. Like with immigration,
Israel is considering striking Iran. Practically every major news organization
is reporting that somebody leaked it out, probably on purpose,
without US support. Because the nuclear talks have stalled. What
will that mean and everything. We'll talk about that a
little bit later. Joe and I broadcasting from Mars. Also
(12:32):
Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys getting a tremendous amount
of attention, which is either a testament to how great
the Beach Boys were because a lot of their music
happened before many of us were born, uh and or
two how old the audience is on television. That might
be part of it too. Anyway, lots on the way
stay here.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
In terms of the type of people that are at
this protest, we're talking about a myriad of different groups.
You've got some that are pro Palace Citian in fact,
they were just chanting for the a global into Fada.
You have others as well that are here that are
anti Ice. They have been comparing the NYPD to fascists
and Nazis and KKK.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
So a number of the people leased in the New
York City protests is this starts to spread across the country,
chanting into Fada because Trump's raiding home depots to try
to boot out illegals. Yes, it's all coming together. Queer's
for Palestine.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Anyway, we got more by the way, don't boycott Walmart.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Why's boycott and Walmart for what reason?
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Well, there's an ad, a nationwide ad bought by Christy Walton,
paid for by Christy Walton in papers, No Kings June fourteenth, Mobilize.
That happens to also be Flag Day and my anniversary
with the lovely Judas No Kings mobilized. We're We're the
United States of America, the honor, dignity gather march, government
(13:57):
of the people.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
And because it was somebody from the Walton family, as
one correspondent said, maga world is gonna go bud light
to Walmart.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
All right.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
No, Look, the widow of one of the many Walton
kids who was a hot chick when he married her,
and now she's an aging hot chick and he died
like seventeen years ago or something like that. Now she's
a lefty who cares, got nothing to do with Walmart.
She inherited some money, settled down everybody. So nothing could
(14:30):
be more boring than hearing about somebody else's dream. This
is my I had a dream speech. I had a
dream last night, but it was so us that it
just suck.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Out to me. And as often times happens with dreams,
it was so incredibly all encompassingly real. It took me
a while when I woke up to shake it out
of my head and realize it didn't happen. World's greatest
virtual reality about your own brain. But I liked how
I just took it as a fact as we traveling there,
(15:01):
that we were gonna be the first people on Mars
and do our radio show from there, right like, with
no discussion or backstory of why that was chosen or
did we volunteer or are we being forced to go.
I don't know how your kids might have felt about it.
And then in some weird way, Katie was already there
to do the news, so I don't know. And that's
(15:22):
where it all got complicated. I'm a trend in the
So in the morning, we got up like with no
explanation of where we're staying or how there was something
built where we could stay, and we got up and
we ran out like we have it so many hotels
across the country to do a show, with coffee in
our hands and like notebooks and stuff to head to
wherever we're going to broadcast from. And they drove us
(15:42):
to the broadcast facility to do the first show on Mars,
because we're the first people on Mars. And we get
there and it's a building bustling and full of people,
and like we were pulling out the parking lot, all
these people are waving and I'm like, why are all
these people here? I didn't think there were any people
on Mars to greet us. And we went over and
it was just it was very confusing and that there
(16:02):
was a building full of people. Oh yeah, everybody says
that that there are no people here, but how many
of you are you? I don't know, Sue, how many
of us are there here now? I mean, it was
that sort of conversation.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Wow, you've seen that, you've glimpsed Elon Musk's future, I
guess again now piping his ideas directly into our brains.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
While and then one guy was joking with another guy
because he had broken up with his girlfriend before he
came to Mars, but now he's dating what's her name,
Pam and accounting, and they're joking about how that's probably
the first hookup on Mars and all these different things.
It was, I don't know, I don't know what it means,
does it mean it? Does it have to mean anything?
Or did I just eat too much spicy food? It
sounds like.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
It was a limited run show on Apple TV or
something like that. I mean you got to personal relationships, Yes, Elon,
this is what you gotta do.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
If you could record your dreams and play him back
for people or rewatch them yourself, that's what we need
to get going. Was Michael, you were left behind, you
were operating the board from Planet Earth. Well it wasn't
a dream then, it was a nightmare.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Elon is piping this into your brain through your Tesla
sucker The growing protests, more arrests all across the country,
among other things.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
On the Way Armstrong and Getty Kamala.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
Harris said the Los Angeles protests were overwhelmingly peaceful, just
like her water is overwhelmingly vodka. Kamala's a drunk is
an ongoing theme on Guttfeldt's show.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
I guess so so. Senator Tom Cotton tweeted this out.
I didn't watch the hearing with sec. Deaf Hegzeth yesterday,
but he tweeted this out. Today's Secretary of Defense Pete
Hegseeth confirmed that Iran's terrorist regime is actively excuse me,
actively working towards a nuclear weapon for the sake of
(17:56):
our national security, the security of our allies, and millions
of civilians in the region, and this cannot be allowed
to happen. So they are trying to get a nuke,
and the reporting from all the major outlets today I
have a feeling this was leaked on purpose by somebody.
All the reporting is that Israel is thinking, Okay, the
negotiations are broken down, We're going to attack Iran on
(18:17):
our own. There was a story of the weekend I
think it was in the New York Times that we
have told Israel, we're not going to help you out
with the attack, but we will help you out with
when Iran responds. I don't know that's true or not,
but so I guess we start here. Do you think
(18:39):
Iran is going to try to is trying to get it? Actually,
we'll get a bomb if somebody doesn't stop him. Yes,
I agree. I agree. They've been trying to do that
forever and they're openly stating it. I think they're making
a decent bet. I think they're going to end up
on the wrong end of it. But based on history, Obama, Biden,
(19:00):
even you know, Bush and Trump to a certain extent,
Iran has been you know, playing footsie with getting a
nuclear bomb for a long time with a lot of threats,
and they've just kept going. And they've seen North Korea
get threats and threats and threats, and then they finally
got the bomb, and they're seeing Russia get threats and
threats and threats, and they keep getting to try to
take Ukraine with bigger and bigger attacks. So I think
(19:22):
they're betting on nobody's good. They're not going to go
to war over this, We're going to get the bomb.
I think they're wrong, and or.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
I mean, well, getting back to a couple of the
examples he gave, Kim Jong un is the leader of
a horrifying dictatorship and a hermit state and half a cult,
but he is rational.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
He is evil, but rational.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
The Mullahs with their doomsday death to the Jews, you know,
twelfth Mahdi beliefs in Islam, or just they're's two while
to wild card anyway, was I going to say before
I to derailed myself.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Oh and if they get the bomb, Saudi Arabi is
going to have a bomb in a.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Week, or they're going to say we've already got one,
yeah or yeah, which is part of how they would.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Do it in a week. But yeah, and we'll have
a Middle East nuclear arms search, and honestly, the Gulf
States really would unless they trust us to be under
our nuclear umbrella, which honestly I wouldn't.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
They will have to get bombs to deter Iran. Although
you know to the extent again that the Iranian leadership
are Islamic deaf cultists, there's no deterrence that would work anyway.
What I was going to say is it would not
shock me if Hamas's great sponsor Iran was going with
a hamas Ish strategy of we're going to invite an
(20:52):
attack like Amas did on Ocober seventh. We're going to
invite huge retaliation and that will rally a Muslim world
to our side against the evil Jews and the Westerners.
I could see them, because I mean Iran said it
would open a new uranium enrichment facility and increase its
production of highly enriched fissile material in response to the US,
(21:15):
the UN Atomic Agency for once in its life doing
something or saying something. And Aron said, oh, Yeah, we're
gonna go even harder core.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
Well, I think that's why. And I'm pretty sure Mike
Lyons said this on our show maybe when you weren't here,
that if we go at Iran over this, if we
and Israel or israelung goes, it has to end in
regime change. That will have to be the point. It
just has to be. Hmm, that's interesting. Yeah, i'd like
(21:46):
to you fleshed out. Yeah, we've seen where that goes.
Another headline, the US is moving to draw down its
presence in parts of the Middle East to essential personnel only.
The State Department and Pentagon said today, uh all non
essential personnel had to depart from Bagdad, Bahrain, Kuwait. At
the same time, Defense sec.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Pete Hegseath authorized the voluntary departure of military dependence from
across the Middle East. To defense official said, it's not
a sign of peace in the office.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Now, it's interesting, we aren't going to help you in
the attack. Trump has told Netanyahu allegedly in that everything
I've read is that Israel doesn't have the necessary necessary
equipment to actually get those deep underground nuclear programs. Only
(22:38):
we do. So I don't know what Israel accomplishes other
than scaring the crap out of them blowing up a
bunch of stuff, other.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
Than the absolute inexplicable, horrific oversights of October seventh. Generally speaking,
I would assume the Israeli intelligence services have some really
good info of Okay, we can't get the engine of
the car, but we can explode the steering system of
the brakes and all the tires in effect.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Or who knows what they're who they're going to try
to take out if the regime change is the goal,
and they might have people on the ground that can
help with that. You know, the whole wonder motorcycle rides
up next to the uh you know various people and
places a magnetic bomb on their car routine that they've
done many times over the years. Or given the incredible
amazing Hesbola page.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Right attack, every color TV and Tyran explodes simultaneously. The
I I would hate to see that many civilians killed,
because I think the people of Iran, the normal ones,
and the people of the US have every reason to
be friends and trading partners for the next century. If
the freaking Islamist nut jobs got out of the way.
The Iotola is bird beard A damn, it would have
(23:49):
been good.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
That was good. You saw it, you could see it coming.
But it's ruined. The iotoles beard bursts into flames that
could happen in a still funny You're still funny. So
we have had we've had pyrotechnics in his beard for
quite some time.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
We were just looking for the right moment. We had
sleeper pyrotechnics in his very beard. So, speaking of the
shifting sands of the Middle East, the Free Beacon had
an interesting exclusive inside Israel's three phase plan to end
the Gaza War. And this is kind of self backpadding,
(24:29):
I admit that, but.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
It is exactly what I described.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
It's total victory and control of Gaza and some other
territories because the idea of living peacefully side by side
was murdered and raped along with the people on October
the seventh. That ended that day, and anybody who doesn't
(24:54):
get that is a child. Anyway, Let's say three phases
of the operation, so phase two, Phase one we've seen.
Phase two began last week and it's going to last
about two months. They think during this time the military
(25:16):
aims to further degrade Hamasa's leadership and infrastructure, take control
of seventy about seventy five percent of Gaza, move all
civilians into three areas in the remaining twenty five percent,
and work with an American organization to control the entry
and distribution of humanitarian aid into the strip, and then
by the end of phase two, Hamas should largely be
(25:38):
cut off from non food aid as well as weapons
that are smuggled into Gaza on AID trucks.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
Why is the US and Israel taking over.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
The aid because it was a giant arms smuggling operation
and Hamas would take all the aid and selidate exorbitant
prices to raise funds for themselves. Get away with that, Yeah,
I know, But the military does not plan to clear
Hamas from the two civilian areas in central Gaza until
the final phase of the war. AMAS will therefore remain
(26:08):
embedded among the population those areas and continue diverting food
aid for now, although it'll be more difficult because there'll
be greater control.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
Well, how much is that story going to drop off
the front page when Israel is attacking Iran and we're
helping Israel defend against the counter attack and all that
sort of stuff. The whole Gaza food aid thing is
going to be. I'm looking at the New York Times.
So because there was a plane crash in India, and
then there was a plane crash India, like a Boeing
(26:36):
Dreamliner went down. It looks like everybody on board two
hundred and forty plus dead. So any of your really
big plane crashes anyway, So that's obliterated the news cycle
for the day, but all the stories under that that
would have been your top stories in the New York Times.
Today Israel appears ready to attack Iran. Tensions between Israel
and Iran a different story. Iran is breaking rules on
(26:57):
nuclear activity, UN watch Dog says, so they continue to
violate the rules. As you've said, why Israel may be
considering an attack on Iran and he just goes on
and on. It's the big story and ought to be
because we get involved in like a full war with Iran.
That's a major deal.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
So back to the Hamas story, just because giving you
the first two phases and not the third would be ridiculous.
Hamas will surrender during phase two ideally, and Israel will
not have to carry out Phase three, which involves relocating
all the civilians to the Hamas Free Zone, laying siege
to the rest of Gaza and completely destroying Hamas.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
Yeah, that is phase three. I think that is gonna
be something you read about in the history books, because
you're gonna forget Phase two and three happened while we're
at war with Iran. I think that's what's happened to be.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
And my final note from the Middle East, congratulations and
condolences to the ghost of al Cassam as it in
El Haddad has taken over as the third leader of
Hama in the last what is it seven months or
something like that. Yeah, as the first two fellas retired
(28:07):
to the grave.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
My force. Okay, we got some breaking Isshu news. FBI
has busted the Lah the fish. It's like, I'm a
four hundred pound guy who decided to be a jockey.
I'm a guy who can't talk who decided to be
on the radio first day with a new tongue. Huh.
The FBI busted the alleged LA riot leader who was
(28:32):
filmed handing out bionic shield face masks to protesters. I
want to talk about that thing and a few of
the other aspects of the organization of this whole thing.
We got to get to the bottom of that. Did
you see that van load of masks that showed up.
It was being reported that they thought it was food
or water something like that. They open it up and
it's all of these helmet mask things that are not cheap,
(28:54):
and somebody bought them ahead of time and got them
into a van and drove them over there. I mean,
there's a fair amount of logistics and timing involved in that.
Nobody talks about this, but it was one of the
great failures of law enforcement I have ever witnessed that
we did not figure out who's buying, shipping and distributing
the palettes full of bricks during the George Floyd riots,
(29:16):
or what the hell is going on there, or a
failure of the media who has no interest in figuring
it out because they're on the side of the brick
palette people. Now I've given up on the media. They suck.
They're terrible. More on the they suck, they're terrible. More
on the vice to heart.
Speaker 4 (29:35):
But when you were little, you were found to be,
I mean, have a musical Genius's.
Speaker 5 (29:39):
Right, they said, it's well, my father and mother took
me to a place like an aptitude place to see
what I would be good at, what I liked, and
what my talent was at pretty young, like probably eleven
or twelve. And I went through this process for a
couple of days, and they came up to my father
and they said, your son is brilliant at music, would
(30:02):
be an incredible musician. This is not This is not
what my father wanted to hear. You know, this was
not the greatest thing.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
So Trump doing a podcast here the Day with Miranda Devine,
who's got a new podcast from the New York Post,
telling us all for the first time. I guess today
is a musical genius which went untapped because he got
into real estate. Here's a little more of that. Do
you ever play an instrument?
Speaker 5 (30:28):
I played, like very short periods of time, the flute.
Speaker 6 (30:35):
Did you like it?
Speaker 5 (30:36):
I had flute lessons. That's the first person that's ever
asked me that crazy question.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
Yeah, I had flute.
Speaker 5 (30:41):
Can you believe that it could have been a flutist?
I did in particularly like it? No, No, wasn't for me.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
Well, this is all news. He's a musical genius who
played the flute. There you god added to the list. Wow,
not on my bingo card. Got some nice something mine.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
I'm as stunned as if you just announced that he
was secretly in league with the Belgians. I just I
don't know what to make what an interesting character.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
I mean, you have the greatest memory, you have the
best health, you have the best uh a mind in general,
you're an expert in this and that, and you're a
musical genius and open your club championships every year, you
win every golf tournament. Yes, yes, Michael, Oh nothing. I
was just shaking my head into musement. And you played
(31:33):
the foot briefly. Yeah. They fascinating revelation.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
So now you know, eh, I still regret they forced
me into the trombone.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
As a youngster.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
What do you wish you to play saxophone and useful
in making rock and roll music?
Speaker 6 (31:51):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (31:51):
Okay? Anything? Oh? Are we going to talk about Brian
Wilson at some point?
Speaker 3 (31:55):
We are?
Speaker 1 (31:55):
Yeah, I'm always in the mood to get I got
some good stuff on that, all right.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
I don't think this deserves any setup. I think you
will recognize both of these voices. This is purely for
our mutual amusement. Michael, are you ready, sir?
Speaker 1 (32:09):
Hit it?
Speaker 4 (32:10):
This brazen abuse of power by a sitting president inflamed
a combustible situation. Democracy is under assault before our eyes.
This moment we have feared has arrived.
Speaker 5 (32:22):
We're not going to wait seven days and eight days
and wait for a governor that.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
The only flag that.
Speaker 6 (32:28):
Will can I just say, I don't want to be
a superficial, but Gavin Newsom brings me back to really
handsome presidents like I don't know, and I would to
be nice to have an articulate, gorgeous president like that.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
Again, Oh man, that's hard to take. They're easy, Katie
is just there were so many things in the last
however long those two clips were that made me want
to vomit. It's just between Gavin and Behart. Yeah, yeah,
So there has to be a term for this sort
(33:06):
of person who watches the view and thinks it's good
an idiot or ers as an idiot. That's right, but
that one's already taken.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
I just there's got to be you know, like Joe
Sixpack or you know, the the jet.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
Set or whatever.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
I can't imagine hast eaters that sit around and watch
the view and think it's.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
That's another good word, Like there are things that happen
in the world. And then there are shows I want
to go to because I so want to hear what
that person's opinion is on this. And I assume we
have some listeners like that with us, but people like
I wonder what you know, whoever thinks of this? There
are people out there who the story breaks and they think,
I wonder what Woopy Goldberg thinks of this? I wonder
(33:51):
what joy Behart thinks of this? Who the freak? Are
you right? And what shall we call them? Idiots?
Speaker 2 (33:58):
And then also for years and years, I would refer
to Gavin Newsom as pretty pretty Gavin Newsom, But then
we had an onslaught of our beloved female listeners say, Joseph,
he's not pretty, He's creepy, And we brought that up
on the air and just got a flood of emails
and texts saying yes, yes, not not pretty, like predatory
(34:22):
and makes my skin crawl. What the hell is going on, Katie?
I know you hate his politics, but just lets your
pure womanhood flow here?
Speaker 1 (34:31):
What is as a man? What are we thinking? He
walks into a room, you think, ooh, like, yeah, pretend
you don't know him. Okay, he walks into a room.
I think slimy. Yeah, that's what most women say. It's interesting.
Speaker 2 (34:42):
I get a big slimy d bag, feeling slimy bag.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
It's not a positive. I'll put you down for a no.
I guess yeah. Interesting.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
I think he flames out and disappears, mostly as a
presidential hopeful.
Speaker 1 (34:59):
Be this is all over. I think so too. That
last night and this morning's the first time I've ever thought,
I think he is not even gonna run. He's gonna
get pants so bad through this whole thing. Yeah, it
was like the Uh, we don't have time for the metaphor.
It's a good metaphor too, folks is one of my
top ten. But no time. So they arrested the guy
handing out the bionic helmets of the protests. Who's he?
(35:21):
What's he up to? Can't wait to find that out.
Armstrong and Getty
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty arm Strong
and Getty and no He Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
The TSA just reminded travelers that Costco cards cannot get you.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Through airport security. However, it does count as a pilot's
license for Spirit Airlines, the old Spirit Airlines joke. That's
kind of funny because I got my real ID now,
so I feel like, you know, a real baller that
I can go get on a domestic flight and fly
anywhere in the country if I want to, because I
have the real idea. I didn't know people were trying
to use their Costco cards. I'm a Costco member, Can
(00:50):
I get on this plane? That's funny. They've got better
security than most places. Uh yeah, yeah, so this I
didn't hear about it. Somebody asked me yesterday, like you
hear about all these protests. I'm driving from northern California
to Long Beach through LA on Saturday with my son,
maybe with some other boy scouts, and uh there is.
(01:13):
I do have some concern that since the protests have
closed down, you know, some of the major freeways that
if that's going on on Saturday, we ain't getting where
we're supposed to get on time. If that happens, Wow,
which is going to be a serious drag. But there's
also this big protest on the fourteenth, which is Saturday.
(01:33):
That's Trump's birthday. It's also this week is the birthday
of the Army, two hundred and fifty birthday, and that's
the reason Trump is having this giant military parade in Washington,
d C. With a whole bunch of our ore, you know,
our our our equipment. They're gonna be praying through the
street like the Soviet Union. Uh and uh march and army.
(01:54):
You made your face. You made your face. This is radio.
You gotta use words to express how unhappy you are
with what I said out us out forrageous. I just
I don't know. I lean against the parade. I'm not
hardcore on this. I just I think I'd rather we
didn't than we did. There's gotta be some reason we
didn't used to do it in the past.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
I just think it was to indicate the opposite of
what you were hinting at, that we're not a militaristic.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
You know, land hungry, crusading power. We just want to
be friends and do business.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Yes, we've got an enormous, powerful military, but that's not
what we're about, right, I'm tying, Yeah, I kind of
take it as we're ideas that are better and spreading
around the world.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
You're saying might makes right. That's not our message.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Yeah, there is a spirit of will whoop your ass,
Like walking into everywhere you go, the dentist's office, the
grocery store. You know you did a job interview, I
could whoop your ass. Now, let's talk about this position.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
It's just.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
I understand the point of view that says that has
too much of that feel to it.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
I'm not sure I agree. I'm not sure I do either.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Because the grandeur, the courage, the the you know, the
manly beauty in a way of our armed forces, the
people and the equipment is awesome to behold. And I
don't mind the idea of kids beholding it.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Especially Joe dropped a manly beauty. But even NPR pointed
out they like, if you're watching a football game and
a stealth bomber goes overhead, you think, oh, that's freaking awesome.
Everybody gets chills. And roars their enthusiasm and patriotism. The
super Bowl crowd doesn't generally boo boo too militaristic, right, right,
(03:52):
So there's that anyway, same day people who hate Trump
and think this country sucks and everything like that. First
of all, moved the candad. It's second they're promoting this
no Kings, No Crowns protest, a nationwide day of defiance,
and I just heard about it yesterday. But it's kind
of growing as we get closer. It's either gonna be
a big deal with riot and all over the country.
(04:13):
My guess would be it's gonna fizzle and be not
much of anything. Wow, just generalized defiance. Do I get
to break mind? Yeah? Now, hat out of the closet
where it's been collecting dust for you know, seven years.
Generalized defiance. I hate that parking spots are too small
for my truck. Who's with me? Down with the designated hitter?
(04:35):
So it's from ten to two all across the country.
But I wasn't aware of this. First of all, I
saw a couple of people say, who's doing the messaging
for the left? I mean, you have to assume this
is organized by somebody with some power or money or something.
Your messaging is no kings, no crowns. What the hell
does that mean? I didn't know this until I read it.
(04:55):
It is a dog whistle to the anarchist antith A crowd,
which frequently uses that phrase. Another example of fairly mainstream
left organization adopting a hardcore militant framework. No kings, no
crowns is a you know, that's that's the rallying cry
of the mask smashed the windows out anarchist crowd. That
(05:19):
doesn't seem like a good message to latch onto if
I'm trying to be a mainstream organization.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Well right, that's yeah, that's interesting. There there are dynamics
running both ways. I mean, if you're like just an
average left a center person, you probably don't want to
be associated with that. And I would think if I
were a hardcore ANTIFA person, what are they thinking. We'll
attract more people to our point of view or it
will just water you down until you're nothing.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
We'll attract more people with our point of view with
a phrase nobody's ever heard before. Yeah don't, I don't.
I don't get this either. Well that's the point. Who's
doing the messaging for the left.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
It's just so vague. All right, well, good luck with
that between ten and two. Come on, you split the
day in half. I can't do anything cool in the morning.
It's too late to do anything cool in the afternoon.
Schedule your damn weirdly vague. I'm against something protest for
like nine in the morning. Yeah, it's either a morning
thing or an afternoon thing. You've completely ruined lunch ten
(06:21):
to two. Please, all right, Michael, let's have a transition.
Come on now, bang them alright, let's talk about China.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
China.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
First of all, I thought it was interesting the folks
at the National Review pretty harsh about Trump's negotiations with
China and the world at this point. Their main point being,
and this is gonna be very generalized, but that we
are so over the barrel with China. This is so
(06:52):
serious and important and difficult. The stuff with China in trade.
To throw everything up in the air with all of
our other trading partners and threaten them with tariffs and
make them think we can't be counted on and stuff,
that was a terrible mistake because.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
We need all the friends we can get. I get that. Yeah,
I don't think they're wrong. Time will tell, of course.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
But here's the key part to me, how over a
barrel we are with China, And switching over to the
Wall Street Journal now they're writing about how the era
of weaponized supply chains have arrived Washington Beijing with these
super high level negotiations, and they're not about like tariffs
(07:35):
and access to markets and stuff like that like they
usually are. They're about choking off supplies to each other
of rare earths in the rare earth materials in case
China or US, cutting off their access to super advanced
semiconductor technology and that sort of thing. And it's more
like an arms control negotiation than a trade negotiation, which
(07:59):
I thought was interest but that adds that that leads
us to this the whole rare earth thing, which is
interestingly enough, not that rare. There's lots of this stuff,
but it's very very expensive to mine and very very
expensive to refine. So anyway, uh, rare earth market by country?
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Will you remind me for some reason that that reminded me? Uh?
I want to tell you about the dream I had
very powerful dream in which Joe and I were doing
our radio show from Mars. Wow. Yeah, it's really interesting. Okay,
back to you. Wow, unlikely unless they get golf courses
and Scotch on Mars. I'm not going. For some reason,
(08:44):
they decided the first people on Mars be a talk show,
and they chose us. It's a little hard to figure
that out, but we'll skip that later. They can wed fast,
they are, I tell you, nobody's more surprised than me.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Elon anyway. So if you talk about the rare earth stuff,
and it's incredibly important to virtually every twenty first century
technology you can think of, from you know, computer chips
to cars to you know, just advanced weapons systems, fighter jets,
(09:19):
you know, air defense systems. It's just the stuff is
all full of this, these materials. So rare earth market
share by country magnets. China has ninety percent of it.
We have none. The rest of the world has that
last ten percent. The refining of rare earth materials, China
(09:41):
is at eighty eight percent of it. We have nothing.
The rest of the world has about twelve percent of it.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Wow. The mining, China has sixty nine percent of it,
We have about twelve.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Or thirteen percent of it, and the rest of the
world has the last eighteen or so percent the reserves
of the stuff. China has forty eight percent or so.
We have about two percent. The rest of the world
has the other forty eight forty nine percent. Well, so
on a lot of that stuff. It's not just they're
ahead of us or competitive. They're like all of it
and we're none of it. Oh yeah, we're really big
(10:19):
and diabetic and they have all the insulin. It's practically
that bad.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Wow. And that's part of what the negotiations are about.
Why would why would China give on any of that?
Speaker 2 (10:33):
So we would give them access to the computer chips,
the semiconductors, the super advanced ones. But so we have
to in order to get our you know, would you
like a drug metaphor instead, we're heroin addicts were dying
for the stuff they have it, And in order to
get our heroin, we've had to say, Okay, we're trying
(10:55):
to choke off your military that's trying to take over
the earth and conquer the United States. Well, here's those
chips you need for your military back again, because we
got to have our rare earth stuff. It's a hell
of a spot to be in in many essential sectors
of the Modern Economy. Quoting The Journal, China has the
upper hand. The world's second largest economy accounts for about
(11:17):
a third of global manufacturing output, giving it a potential
choke hold on autoparts, basic ingredients for drugs, key parts
of the electronic supply chain, in a host of other
industrial sectors.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
It is the.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
World's number one exporter of machinery, ships, steel, ceramics, textiles,
and dozens of other goods according to the International Trade Center,
and the US dominates fewer sectors. Our clout and advanced
technology is great, and it's big, and it's important, but
the whole supply chain, resilience and access to the things
(11:51):
we really really need is an enormous challenge for this
country right now.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Hard to imagine a worse position to be in visa v.
China shouldn't have allowed this to happen in the first place.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
No, indeed, and again it's yet another example of we've
gotten so far down the road of Crazyville.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
The solution is going to be crazy. Yeah. Like with immigration,
Israel is considering striking Iran. Practically every major news organization
is reporting that somebody leaked it out, probably on purpose,
without US support. Because the nuclear talks have stalled. What
will that mean and everything. We'll talk about that a
little bit later. Joe and I broadcasting from Mars. Also
(12:32):
Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys getting a tremendous amount
of attention, which is either a testament to how great
the Beach Boys were because a lot of their music
happened before many of us were born, uh and or
two how old the audience is on television. That might
be part of it too. Anyway, lots on the way
stay here.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
In terms of the type of people that are at
this protest, we're talking about a myriad of different groups.
You've got some that are pro Palace Citian in fact,
they were just chanting for the a global into Fada.
You have others as well that are here that are
anti Ice. They have been comparing the NYPD to fascists
and Nazis and KKK.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
So a number of the people leased in the New
York City protests is this starts to spread across the country,
chanting into Fada because Trump's raiding home depots to try
to boot out illegals. Yes, it's all coming together. Queer's
for Palestine.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Anyway, we got more by the way, don't boycott Walmart.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Why's boycott and Walmart for what reason?
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Well, there's an ad, a nationwide ad bought by Christy Walton,
paid for by Christy Walton in papers, No Kings June fourteenth, Mobilize.
That happens to also be Flag Day and my anniversary
with the lovely Judas No Kings mobilized. We're We're the
United States of America, the honor, dignity gather march, government
(13:57):
of the people.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
And because it was somebody from the Walton family, as
one correspondent said, maga world is gonna go bud light
to Walmart.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
All right.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
No, Look, the widow of one of the many Walton
kids who was a hot chick when he married her,
and now she's an aging hot chick and he died
like seventeen years ago or something like that. Now she's
a lefty who cares, got nothing to do with Walmart.
She inherited some money, settled down everybody. So nothing could
(14:30):
be more boring than hearing about somebody else's dream. This
is my I had a dream speech. I had a
dream last night, but it was so us that it
just suck.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Out to me. And as often times happens with dreams,
it was so incredibly all encompassingly real. It took me
a while when I woke up to shake it out
of my head and realize it didn't happen. World's greatest
virtual reality about your own brain. But I liked how
I just took it as a fact as we traveling there,
(15:01):
that we were gonna be the first people on Mars
and do our radio show from there, right like, with
no discussion or backstory of why that was chosen or
did we volunteer or are we being forced to go.
I don't know how your kids might have felt about it.
And then in some weird way, Katie was already there
to do the news, so I don't know. And that's
(15:22):
where it all got complicated. I'm a trend in the
So in the morning, we got up like with no
explanation of where we're staying or how there was something
built where we could stay, and we got up and
we ran out like we have it so many hotels
across the country to do a show, with coffee in
our hands and like notebooks and stuff to head to
wherever we're going to broadcast from. And they drove us
(15:42):
to the broadcast facility to do the first show on Mars,
because we're the first people on Mars. And we get
there and it's a building bustling and full of people,
and like we were pulling out the parking lot, all
these people are waving and I'm like, why are all
these people here? I didn't think there were any people
on Mars to greet us. And we went over and
it was just it was very confusing and that there
(16:02):
was a building full of people. Oh yeah, everybody says
that that there are no people here, but how many
of you are you? I don't know, Sue, how many
of us are there here now? I mean, it was
that sort of conversation.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Wow, you've seen that, you've glimpsed Elon Musk's future, I
guess again now piping his ideas directly into our brains.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
While and then one guy was joking with another guy
because he had broken up with his girlfriend before he
came to Mars, but now he's dating what's her name,
Pam and accounting, and they're joking about how that's probably
the first hookup on Mars and all these different things.
It was, I don't know, I don't know what it means,
does it mean it? Does it have to mean anything?
Or did I just eat too much spicy food? It
sounds like.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
It was a limited run show on Apple TV or
something like that. I mean you got to personal relationships, Yes, Elon,
this is what you gotta do.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
If you could record your dreams and play him back
for people or rewatch them yourself, that's what we need
to get going. Was Michael, you were left behind, you
were operating the board from Planet Earth. Well it wasn't
a dream then, it was a nightmare.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Elon is piping this into your brain through your Tesla
sucker The growing protests, more arrests all across the country,
among other things.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
On the Way Armstrong and Getty Kamala.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
Harris said the Los Angeles protests were overwhelmingly peaceful, just
like her water is overwhelmingly vodka. Kamala's a drunk is
an ongoing theme on Guttfeldt's show.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
I guess so so. Senator Tom Cotton tweeted this out.
I didn't watch the hearing with sec. Deaf Hegzeth yesterday,
but he tweeted this out. Today's Secretary of Defense Pete
Hegseeth confirmed that Iran's terrorist regime is actively excuse me,
actively working towards a nuclear weapon for the sake of
(17:56):
our national security, the security of our allies, and millions
of civilians in the region, and this cannot be allowed
to happen. So they are trying to get a nuke,
and the reporting from all the major outlets today I
have a feeling this was leaked on purpose by somebody.
All the reporting is that Israel is thinking, Okay, the
negotiations are broken down, We're going to attack Iran on
(18:17):
our own. There was a story of the weekend I
think it was in the New York Times that we
have told Israel, we're not going to help you out
with the attack, but we will help you out with
when Iran responds. I don't know that's true or not,
but so I guess we start here. Do you think
(18:39):
Iran is going to try to is trying to get it? Actually,
we'll get a bomb if somebody doesn't stop him. Yes,
I agree. I agree. They've been trying to do that
forever and they're openly stating it. I think they're making
a decent bet. I think they're going to end up
on the wrong end of it. But based on history, Obama, Biden,
(19:00):
even you know, Bush and Trump to a certain extent,
Iran has been you know, playing footsie with getting a
nuclear bomb for a long time with a lot of threats,
and they've just kept going. And they've seen North Korea
get threats and threats and threats, and then they finally
got the bomb, and they're seeing Russia get threats and
threats and threats, and they keep getting to try to
take Ukraine with bigger and bigger attacks. So I think
(19:22):
they're betting on nobody's good. They're not going to go
to war over this, We're going to get the bomb.
I think they're wrong, and or.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
I mean, well, getting back to a couple of the
examples he gave, Kim Jong un is the leader of
a horrifying dictatorship and a hermit state and half a cult,
but he is rational.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
He is evil, but rational.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
The Mullahs with their doomsday death to the Jews, you know,
twelfth Mahdi beliefs in Islam, or just they're's two while
to wild card anyway, was I going to say before
I to derailed myself.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Oh and if they get the bomb, Saudi Arabi is
going to have a bomb in a.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Week, or they're going to say we've already got one,
yeah or yeah, which is part of how they would.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Do it in a week. But yeah, and we'll have
a Middle East nuclear arms search, and honestly, the Gulf
States really would unless they trust us to be under
our nuclear umbrella, which honestly I wouldn't.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
They will have to get bombs to deter Iran. Although
you know to the extent again that the Iranian leadership
are Islamic deaf cultists, there's no deterrence that would work anyway.
What I was going to say is it would not
shock me if Hamas's great sponsor Iran was going with
a hamas Ish strategy of we're going to invite an
(20:52):
attack like Amas did on Ocober seventh. We're going to
invite huge retaliation and that will rally a Muslim world
to our side against the evil Jews and the Westerners.
I could see them, because I mean Iran said it
would open a new uranium enrichment facility and increase its
production of highly enriched fissile material in response to the US,
(21:15):
the UN Atomic Agency for once in its life doing
something or saying something. And Aron said, oh, Yeah, we're
gonna go even harder core.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
Well, I think that's why. And I'm pretty sure Mike
Lyons said this on our show maybe when you weren't here,
that if we go at Iran over this, if we
and Israel or israelung goes, it has to end in
regime change. That will have to be the point. It
just has to be. Hmm, that's interesting. Yeah, i'd like
(21:46):
to you fleshed out. Yeah, we've seen where that goes.
Another headline, the US is moving to draw down its
presence in parts of the Middle East to essential personnel only.
The State Department and Pentagon said today, uh all non
essential personnel had to depart from Bagdad, Bahrain, Kuwait. At
the same time, Defense sec.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Pete Hegseath authorized the voluntary departure of military dependence from
across the Middle East. To defense official said, it's not
a sign of peace in the office.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Now, it's interesting, we aren't going to help you in
the attack. Trump has told Netanyahu allegedly in that everything
I've read is that Israel doesn't have the necessary necessary
equipment to actually get those deep underground nuclear programs. Only
(22:38):
we do. So I don't know what Israel accomplishes other
than scaring the crap out of them blowing up a
bunch of stuff, other.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
Than the absolute inexplicable, horrific oversights of October seventh. Generally speaking,
I would assume the Israeli intelligence services have some really
good info of Okay, we can't get the engine of
the car, but we can explode the steering system of
the brakes and all the tires in effect.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Or who knows what they're who they're going to try
to take out if the regime change is the goal,
and they might have people on the ground that can
help with that. You know, the whole wonder motorcycle rides
up next to the uh you know various people and
places a magnetic bomb on their car routine that they've
done many times over the years. Or given the incredible
amazing Hesbola page.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Right attack, every color TV and Tyran explodes simultaneously. The
I I would hate to see that many civilians killed,
because I think the people of Iran, the normal ones,
and the people of the US have every reason to
be friends and trading partners for the next century. If
the freaking Islamist nut jobs got out of the way.
The Iotola is bird beard A damn, it would have
(23:49):
been good.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
That was good. You saw it, you could see it coming.
But it's ruined. The iotoles beard bursts into flames that
could happen in a still funny You're still funny. So
we have had we've had pyrotechnics in his beard for
quite some time.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
We were just looking for the right moment. We had
sleeper pyrotechnics in his very beard. So, speaking of the
shifting sands of the Middle East, the Free Beacon had
an interesting exclusive inside Israel's three phase plan to end
the Gaza War. And this is kind of self backpadding,
(24:29):
I admit that, but.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
It is exactly what I described.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
It's total victory and control of Gaza and some other
territories because the idea of living peacefully side by side
was murdered and raped along with the people on October
the seventh. That ended that day, and anybody who doesn't
(24:54):
get that is a child. Anyway, Let's say three phases
of the operation, so phase two, Phase one we've seen.
Phase two began last week and it's going to last
about two months. They think during this time the military
(25:16):
aims to further degrade Hamasa's leadership and infrastructure, take control
of seventy about seventy five percent of Gaza, move all
civilians into three areas in the remaining twenty five percent,
and work with an American organization to control the entry
and distribution of humanitarian aid into the strip, and then
by the end of phase two, Hamas should largely be
(25:38):
cut off from non food aid as well as weapons
that are smuggled into Gaza on AID trucks.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
Why is the US and Israel taking over.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
The aid because it was a giant arms smuggling operation
and Hamas would take all the aid and selidate exorbitant
prices to raise funds for themselves. Get away with that, Yeah,
I know, But the military does not plan to clear
Hamas from the two civilian areas in central Gaza until
the final phase of the war. AMAS will therefore remain
(26:08):
embedded among the population those areas and continue diverting food
aid for now, although it'll be more difficult because there'll
be greater control.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
Well, how much is that story going to drop off
the front page when Israel is attacking Iran and we're
helping Israel defend against the counter attack and all that
sort of stuff. The whole Gaza food aid thing is
going to be. I'm looking at the New York Times.
So because there was a plane crash in India, and
then there was a plane crash India, like a Boeing
(26:36):
Dreamliner went down. It looks like everybody on board two
hundred and forty plus dead. So any of your really
big plane crashes anyway, So that's obliterated the news cycle
for the day, but all the stories under that that
would have been your top stories in the New York Times.
Today Israel appears ready to attack Iran. Tensions between Israel
and Iran a different story. Iran is breaking rules on
(26:57):
nuclear activity, UN watch Dog says, so they continue to
violate the rules. As you've said, why Israel may be
considering an attack on Iran and he just goes on
and on. It's the big story and ought to be
because we get involved in like a full war with Iran.
That's a major deal.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
So back to the Hamas story, just because giving you
the first two phases and not the third would be ridiculous.
Hamas will surrender during phase two ideally, and Israel will
not have to carry out Phase three, which involves relocating
all the civilians to the Hamas Free Zone, laying siege
to the rest of Gaza and completely destroying Hamas.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
Yeah, that is phase three. I think that is gonna
be something you read about in the history books, because
you're gonna forget Phase two and three happened while we're
at war with Iran. I think that's what's happened to be.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
And my final note from the Middle East, congratulations and
condolences to the ghost of al Cassam as it in
El Haddad has taken over as the third leader of
Hama in the last what is it seven months or
something like that. Yeah, as the first two fellas retired
(28:07):
to the grave.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
My force. Okay, we got some breaking Isshu news. FBI
has busted the Lah the fish. It's like, I'm a
four hundred pound guy who decided to be a jockey.
I'm a guy who can't talk who decided to be
on the radio first day with a new tongue. Huh.
The FBI busted the alleged LA riot leader who was
(28:32):
filmed handing out bionic shield face masks to protesters. I
want to talk about that thing and a few of
the other aspects of the organization of this whole thing.
We got to get to the bottom of that. Did
you see that van load of masks that showed up.
It was being reported that they thought it was food
or water something like that. They open it up and
it's all of these helmet mask things that are not cheap,
(28:54):
and somebody bought them ahead of time and got them
into a van and drove them over there. I mean,
there's a fair amount of logistics and timing involved in that.
Nobody talks about this, but it was one of the
great failures of law enforcement I have ever witnessed that
we did not figure out who's buying, shipping and distributing
the palettes full of bricks during the George Floyd riots,
(29:16):
or what the hell is going on there, or a
failure of the media who has no interest in figuring
it out because they're on the side of the brick
palette people. Now I've given up on the media. They suck.
They're terrible. More on the they suck, they're terrible. More
on the vice to heart.
Speaker 4 (29:35):
But when you were little, you were found to be,
I mean, have a musical Genius's.
Speaker 5 (29:39):
Right, they said, it's well, my father and mother took
me to a place like an aptitude place to see
what I would be good at, what I liked, and
what my talent was at pretty young, like probably eleven
or twelve. And I went through this process for a
couple of days, and they came up to my father
and they said, your son is brilliant at music, would
(30:02):
be an incredible musician. This is not This is not
what my father wanted to hear. You know, this was
not the greatest thing.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
So Trump doing a podcast here the Day with Miranda Devine,
who's got a new podcast from the New York Post,
telling us all for the first time. I guess today
is a musical genius which went untapped because he got
into real estate. Here's a little more of that. Do
you ever play an instrument?
Speaker 5 (30:28):
I played, like very short periods of time, the flute.
Speaker 6 (30:35):
Did you like it?
Speaker 5 (30:36):
I had flute lessons. That's the first person that's ever
asked me that crazy question.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
Yeah, I had flute.
Speaker 5 (30:41):
Can you believe that it could have been a flutist?
I did in particularly like it? No, No, wasn't for me.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
Well, this is all news. He's a musical genius who
played the flute. There you god added to the list. Wow,
not on my bingo card. Got some nice something mine.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
I'm as stunned as if you just announced that he
was secretly in league with the Belgians. I just I
don't know what to make what an interesting character.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
I mean, you have the greatest memory, you have the
best health, you have the best uh a mind in general,
you're an expert in this and that, and you're a
musical genius and open your club championships every year, you
win every golf tournament. Yes, yes, Michael, Oh nothing. I
was just shaking my head into musement. And you played
(31:33):
the foot briefly. Yeah. They fascinating revelation.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
So now you know, eh, I still regret they forced
me into the trombone.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
As a youngster.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
What do you wish you to play saxophone and useful
in making rock and roll music?
Speaker 6 (31:51):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (31:51):
Okay? Anything? Oh? Are we going to talk about Brian
Wilson at some point?
Speaker 3 (31:55):
We are?
Speaker 1 (31:55):
Yeah, I'm always in the mood to get I got
some good stuff on that, all right.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
I don't think this deserves any setup. I think you
will recognize both of these voices. This is purely for
our mutual amusement. Michael, are you ready, sir?
Speaker 1 (32:09):
Hit it?
Speaker 4 (32:10):
This brazen abuse of power by a sitting president inflamed
a combustible situation. Democracy is under assault before our eyes.
This moment we have feared has arrived.
Speaker 5 (32:22):
We're not going to wait seven days and eight days
and wait for a governor that.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
The only flag that.
Speaker 6 (32:28):
Will can I just say, I don't want to be
a superficial, but Gavin Newsom brings me back to really
handsome presidents like I don't know, and I would to
be nice to have an articulate, gorgeous president like that.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
Again, Oh man, that's hard to take. They're easy, Katie
is just there were so many things in the last
however long those two clips were that made me want
to vomit. It's just between Gavin and Behart. Yeah, yeah,
So there has to be a term for this sort
(33:06):
of person who watches the view and thinks it's good
an idiot or ers as an idiot. That's right, but
that one's already taken.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
I just there's got to be you know, like Joe
Sixpack or you know, the the jet.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
Set or whatever.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
I can't imagine hast eaters that sit around and watch
the view and think it's.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
That's another good word, Like there are things that happen
in the world. And then there are shows I want
to go to because I so want to hear what
that person's opinion is on this. And I assume we
have some listeners like that with us, but people like
I wonder what you know, whoever thinks of this? There
are people out there who the story breaks and they think,
I wonder what Woopy Goldberg thinks of this? I wonder
(33:51):
what joy Behart thinks of this? Who the freak? Are
you right? And what shall we call them? Idiots?
Speaker 2 (33:58):
And then also for years and years, I would refer
to Gavin Newsom as pretty pretty Gavin Newsom, But then
we had an onslaught of our beloved female listeners say, Joseph,
he's not pretty, He's creepy, And we brought that up
on the air and just got a flood of emails
and texts saying yes, yes, not not pretty, like predatory
(34:22):
and makes my skin crawl. What the hell is going on, Katie?
I know you hate his politics, but just lets your
pure womanhood flow here?
Speaker 1 (34:31):
What is as a man? What are we thinking? He
walks into a room, you think, ooh, like, yeah, pretend
you don't know him. Okay, he walks into a room.
I think slimy. Yeah, that's what most women say. It's interesting.
Speaker 2 (34:42):
I get a big slimy d bag, feeling slimy bag.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
It's not a positive. I'll put you down for a no.
I guess yeah. Interesting.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
I think he flames out and disappears, mostly as a
presidential hopeful.
Speaker 1 (34:59):
Be this is all over. I think so too. That
last night and this morning's the first time I've ever thought,
I think he is not even gonna run. He's gonna
get pants so bad through this whole thing. Yeah, it
was like the Uh, we don't have time for the metaphor.
It's a good metaphor too, folks is one of my
top ten. But no time. So they arrested the guy
handing out the bionic helmets of the protests. Who's he?
(35:21):
What's he up to? Can't wait to find that out.
