Speaker 1 (00:01):
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong and
Jack Katy and now he Armstrong and Yetty.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
This Free Palestine movement is nothing more than a domestic
terror organization right now. I mean, we had the killings
in Washington a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
We had this issue in Colorado.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
We've seen activities on college campuses now for months and
months and months and months. The rise of anti Semitism
in America, the rise in the number of people who
have come to America who hold anti American views, anti
Western views, and anti Semitic views, and are now willing
to act on it. And I think as a society
we need to understand we are dealing with domestic terrorism.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
It's growing more violent by.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
The day, and if we don't deal with it, these
kinds of things are going to keep happening in cities
all over the place.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Do you think that's over stated.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
I don't know. That's an interesting question.
Speaker 4 (01:09):
It's certainly a little oversimplified, but yeah, there's there's absolutely
a branch of the pro Palestine movement that is willing
to kill at this point to kill and to maim
and to burn and to occupy, into deface or whatever.
And on that topic before we dive into it a
little more in depth. I was encouraged to see Eric Adams,
(01:30):
the somewhat odd Mayor of New York, leaning hard on
infamous DA Alvin bragg to actually prosecute this latest round
of Columbia students who stormed the library injured a couple people,
caused many, many thousands of dollars in dayling free Palestine
right exactly two security guards suffered injuries during the storming
(01:53):
of the building, in which Hamas supporting student activists hand
out literature to classmates attempting to study for finals. Eric
Adams issued a public call to Alvin Bragton not drop prosecutions. Quote,
I think the DA going forward with these charges is
very important to discourage people from carrying out these actions.
When you break into a dorm, when you destroy property,
when you harass students and menace them. We need to
(02:15):
move forward in an aggressive fashion to send a long,
stroud message, long I'm sorry, a strong, loud message that
this is not going to be tolerated. The last round
of Columbia Hamilton Hall violent takeover charges were all dropped
by Alvin Bragg.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
So good for his honor, the mayor. So on the topic.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
Of the long time history of far left Marxists, you know,
radicals joining with his Lombists to accomplish various things. I'm
not going to bore you with the history, but it's
a purely transactional I want to tear down the system.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
You want to tear down the system.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
Let's get together and tear down the system together for
a while. Even though in the case of like American
far lefties, the Islamists would throw them off a tower
the moment they got power, but still there's this weird,
unholy nexus between them. Nelly Bowles, writing in the Free Press,
here are some things that are definitely not anti Semitism,
(03:20):
she says sarcastically.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
The Democratic Socialists of.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
America Liberation Caucus has announced its support for Ilius Rodriguez,
the man who slaughtered two Israeli embassy staffers outside DC's Capital.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Jewish Museum last week. That's right.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
The Democratic Socialists of America have announced their support from
their website excellent statement that we are proud to add
to our name to free Elias. Elias Rodriguez and all
political prisoners. The Palestinian struggle is the tip of the
spear against global imperialism.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
I heard somebody make the point yesterday that Crats more
than any other group, support Ukraine and think Russia is
in the wrong. But you don't see anybody going around
harassing or killing Russians.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
Right right, Yeah. So, keeping in mind that this Elias
Rodriguez shot down the young man, and after being shot,
Sarah Milgram struggled to crawl away, he walked over and
executed her at point blank range.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Okay, horrifying.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
This is the anti Semitic demon that the Democratic Socialists
of America have chosen to lionize. Here is the statement
they are proud to add their name too. The Palestinian
struggle is the tip of the spear against global imperialism.
As imperialism has made the entire world its battlefield, it
is justified to fight by any means necessary, without regard
for geography. This holds especially true for those of US
(04:53):
struggling behind enemy lines inside the US on an identity
that is equal party in all crimes committed by the Zionists,
whether in the besieged Gaza Strip, the Red Sea, the
south of Lebanon or the heart of the US. There
must be consequences for genocidal zionist imperialism, and those consequences
are righteous.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Okay, that's that makes my point perfectly, and I don't
want this to happen. But then, so, why aren't you
targeting Russians. It's the same imperialism trying to take over
a nearby country just because you're bigger and you want
to take it.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
In your mind, I would.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
Assume, but you're not. You're not shooting Russians. No, it's
because they're Jews. Why don't you just admit it? Well,
And you know, I think that's part of it.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
And a lot of the useful idiot, loud mouthed usually women,
screeching in the streets, is just that the the would
be radical, the angry young man, angry young woman rarely
makes a lot of sense. Their anger is their argument,
and they just go back to that over and over again.
So going on, let's see, chance of resistance, chance of
(06:05):
I'm sorry, resistance is justified? Are becoming all the rage
in Chicago? Michael, let's h what is that? Thirty five?
Speaker 3 (06:41):
All right, so the angry, screeching young woman, We.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Don't want no tube steaks. Two states.
Speaker 4 (06:48):
Everybody wants a tube steak check and resistance is justified
chanting in Chicago by the way, for the record, a
permit is generally required for events like marches or parades
that block traffic, rallies using sound amplifying devices, or large
rallies in parks or plaza plazas. Did these people get
(07:09):
a permit to rally for the extermination of Jews in Chicago?
And if so, what the hell is the city of
Chicago doing. And the major anti Zionist protest group, Unity
of Fields, is officially transitioning into quote a militant front
against the US NATO Zionist axis of imperialism. Some of
(07:31):
you people, and you're fine folks. You think me ranting
about neo Marxist radicals is like some sort of Cold
warrior paranoia. No, they are trying to overthrow Western civilization
and its systems. And again this group ZEI, the major
anti Zionist group, Unity of Fields, transitioned into a militant
(07:54):
front against the US NATO Zionist axis of imperialism.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Militant means their plan is to kill more.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
You know, anyone who has ever said the Passover prayer
that ends with next year in Jerusalem.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Well, we're all fair game.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
The killings are anti Zionism, though not anti Semitism, writes
mainstream lefty thinkers. I'm quoting Nelly Bowles here. It just
happens to be that Judaism keeps bringing up Israel? Have
you considered not saying prayers? And a leader of the
Palestine Rites festival is posting how there is no such
thing as.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
The Jewish people. You learn new things every day, but
how would you obviously that we don't want no two
states means Israel has to go away?
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Yeah, oh yeah, absolutely, z down with.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Moss and uh where where the people who live they're
supposed to be.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
At that point, anywhere but here but the but they
know they will have to be killed. The Jews will
have to be killed. So any argument that these angry leftists, marchers, screamers,
demonstrators on college campuses, the people who are are occupying
various halls, any argument that they just want the Palestinian
(09:04):
babies to get their medicine is utterly dishonest. These people
are smart, They're calculating. One of their strategies is to
cloak their real purpose in much more innocent sounding goals.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
They know what they're doing.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
They are radicals bent on destroying the US and well
and NATO and Israel and also capitalism. Take them at
their word, folks. So what is what was the first
part of the chant? I didn't catch it and probably
(09:40):
doesn't matter.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
But uh, he played the very beginninging And what was
the first I didn't get what the first time?
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Yeah? What was that? Liberations possible? Oh, okay, gotcha. That's good, Michael.
We don't want no two states.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
They're calling for the killing of the Jews, globalize the Intefada.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
And what other group could you come within ten miles
of that sort of thing and get away with it
in the United States?
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Name any group? Right. It's amazing that this is occurring
in the year twenty twenty five.
Speaker 4 (10:15):
It's less amazing when you consider how long this stuff's
been taught in our schools and universities, this world view,
and Jack, you actually, I think you may have hit
me with this notion for the first time that these
all these young people who have been indoctrinated, steeped in
this neo Marxist philosophy of the victim of pressure, thing,
(10:37):
anti colonialism, the settler colonial oppression. Blah blah blah. It's
just been crap. They learned from their professors for a
long time. And what are you gonna get out of
class and take on the United States.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
You're gonna go go to Washington, d c.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
And start pulling down all those pillars of what are
you gonna do? You can't do anything, And so they think,
wait a minute, Wait a minute, Israel. There's a fight
going on there. Israel's not that huge, They're surrounded by enemies.
Speaker 5 (11:06):
Yes, I'm gonna advocate for the downfall of Israel to
prove that I'm carrying out my professor's teachings. So everybody's
hot to trot for Israel, even though if your problem
is Muslims dying unjustifiedly, look to Yemen. The numbers there
dwarf anything that's happened, because.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
It dwarfs it. It's been a horror.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
But you got zero fing college kids demonstrating against the
slaughter in Yemen. Why because there's not a handy oppressor
class to target your upper middle class IVY league anger
at people are pathetic, You're so transparent.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
God, So moving away from anger toward a chuckle.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
We'll do a late night joke off coming up as
a whole bunch of the late night comedians who were
back at work took on Elon Musk, and we'll check
that out, among other things. On the waist here, there's
a new younger Bill Mallusion on Fox. Looks almost exactly
(12:10):
like him, exact same jaw and hair, but looks to
be ten years younger.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Mallusion might be what thirty eight?
Speaker 3 (12:18):
This kid looks twenty eight but looks just like him.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
Rupert Murdoch has found a way to breed Bill malusions
on a farm.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
Square heads with perfect hair, like better than perfect hair?
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Like who has hair like that? Yeah? Like AI created.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
I remember when I saw Bill.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Mallusion in person in one of the conventions.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
It's like, how is that real?
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Yeah? Yeah, he's a fabulous reporter. Yeah he's really really good.
Yeah he's not just getting by on his looks. No,
not at all.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
I have a feeling I'm gonna be annoyed by all
these jokes, so I might be stalling.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
I think it's a joke off.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
Yes, I hate the I hate the turn against Elon
Musk because he got involved in politics.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
I got somebody give me a thumbs down.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Yesterday, guy in a motorcycle road in front of me
thumbs give me the big clothes down because I was
of my cybers Trump approve of my motor transportation. I wish,
I wish I could have a conversation with these people.
So should I have not purchased this or sold it once?
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Or what? What near world? How should I be handling this?
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Well, I mean other than a Harley, if I were
to drive a Chevy, for instance, shall I go into
the history of General.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Motors or Ford? What would you suggest?
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Friend, is not that cause Elon sucks, He'd say, But
I hate the anti Elon Musk stuff. And I think
the whole Elon and Trump breaking up thing is way overblown,
way overblown as a story.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
That means said that is sad for late night joke off,
we have three comedians making jokes on the same topic.
I joke Eddy will rate them for the equality of
their jokes. The bottom grade getter will be banned from
comedy for life.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Michael hit It.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Elon Musk last week announced that he is leaving the
Trump administration.
Speaker 6 (13:59):
Wow, he usually doesn't announce when he's leaving.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
Said his kids, Oo're a fair game.
Speaker 7 (14:06):
Elon Musk has officially left the federal government, and he
showed up to his farewell event in the Oval Office
with a black eyed Elon claims the bruise was the
result of this kid punching him while they were horsing around.
One of his kids punched him, which narrows it down
to about one hundred suspects.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
What it is your eye? Okay, what happened to you?
Is your eye? I know this was a bruise thing.
Speaker 8 (14:29):
No.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
I was just pushed around with the lex and I said,
go ahead, punch me in the face, and he did.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
So.
Speaker 9 (14:35):
You're not gonna tell us what happened? Do you need
a safe place to stay? Look, I believe sometimes do
happen when you're rough housing with your kids. But I'm
also sure the one sentence now parent has ever uttered
to their child is go ahead, punch me in the face.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
If your kid's little enough. Yeah, I've probably said that.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (14:59):
Myers and fell in both with solid b's John Stewart's
attempt at some sort of Nate Bargatzi style not a
clear punchline. Just to comment, Terry see it best, John
Stewart only working one day a week is now banned
from comedy for life.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Often the stories suggested it was, you know, really something
that Elon Musk was leaving.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
His time was up.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
It's one hundred and thirty days or whatever that he
was allowed to work was up. He had to quit.
It was part of the deal. You remember, no, right, right?
Speaker 4 (15:34):
And I'm trying to We had a news clip saying,
what is the future of DOGE now that Elon is departing?
And it's like, I can't believe Brettbear was the only
person who interviewed those half dozen absolutely brilliant guys who
were the the gears, the actual machinery of DOGE, who
(15:56):
are still on the job doing amazing things.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
And it ought to be something all of us agree on.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
But it's become only about Elon Musk because we've got
to have a hero or oil villain, and it's got
to be one person, and it's got to be incredibly simple,
one or the other.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
It's just I don't know.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
Democracy doesn't work, not anymore.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
I wonder what's gonna happen to Tesla.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
I just saw in France sales are down seventy percent
year over year because of the tie to Trump. I assume, so,
I mean, I assume that's why I get flipped off
her thumbs down. And the town I live in is
like the most electric car town in America might literally be.
(16:39):
I wonder how long that damage will last? If forever?
You realize you may have killed off the only electric
car company that was making a dent in electric.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Cars in the US. Anyway, Yeah, oh yeah, China's got
their own thing.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
Yeah yeah, there are definitely places where the Trump brand
is poison you now. Tourism is way down because of
you know, the various trade rouugh and tumble.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
Would I ever not go to a country because of
I just I don't know, I don't know. We got
more in the way, Stay here, armstrong and getty.
Speaker 10 (17:21):
Russia reeling from Ukraine's astonishing and unprecedented drone attacks on
military airfields all across Russia. Ukraine's Operation Spider Web kept
secret for more than a year, and as for now,
any end to this war looks a long way off.
Negotiations between Russia and Ukraine and Istanbul ending quickly and
(17:45):
with no breakthroughs.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
Those containers shipping containers that were trucked clear across Russia
that is still a bit of a mystery how they
got trucked across and you know, why would Ukraine tell us?
Speaker 1 (17:59):
But how did they.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
Drive trucks three thousand miles to one airfield? Three thousand
miles That's a length of the United States to blow
up a third of Russia's long distance.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
Aircraft, including one base that Jack has referred to that
it was virtually in Siberia, I mean, just a world away.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
It's amazing. We have more information on that.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
I just want to comment real quick on the Martha
Rabbits piece because I saw coverage on a couple of
different networks that said roughly the same thing. There were
no breakthroughs or the very little progress was reported. You know,
Trump's is so proud of being able to make a
deal all the pieces a deal does.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
That's funny. I don't even hear the peace talk comment, Tony.
It just goes away. I don't even like, doesn't even
register with me, because I think it's all phony.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
Well right, exactly, but Trump's a great deal maker and
he's made some fabulous deals, especially you know, well anyway,
I don't want to get off on that tangent, but
you've got you know, he knows hotels in New York.
All right, So you got one guy says I want
to buy your hotel. I'll give you ten dollars, and
the other guy says, I wouldn't sell so hotel in
a million years for fifty million dollars.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Oh okay. So there was no breakthrough.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
No, there's no basis for a deal whatsoever.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
There was nobody at the table looking for a deal.
They're going through the motions for some reason.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
Well, what does it mean? Is this just a coincidence?
So the so called peace talks. Zolensky wants peace talks.
I mean he said he would show up there in
Istanbul a couple of weeks ago if putin Wood and
Rubio is going.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
To so Zelenski wants peace talks.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
The every weekend Russia has launched the biggest attacks of
the war. This last weekend it was four hundred sum drones,
one hundred more than the previous record from two weeks
ago an attack. And at the same time Ukraine launches
there by far biggest attack on Russia, where they took
out a third of their long range bombers. And to
(19:52):
this morning they blow up that bridgehead in Crimea again.
So now Russia's gonna have to rebuild it before they
can get troops and ammunition and everything into Ukraine.
Speaker 4 (20:02):
But we have to rewind your statement that Zelensky wants
peace talks. Zelenski wants peace talks, we can demonstrate to Trump. Yeah,
I'm willing to talk peace, but he has no interest
in it. So there I went through the motions. Now
can I have some weapons please?
Speaker 3 (20:14):
But why are they both launching their biggest attacks.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
Of the war.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
Is that just in an attempt to win it? I
think it's as simple as that. Thing to do with
forcing the peace talks, I.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
Don't think so.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
Although Zelensky does have motivation for actual peace talks, but
he's made it clear over and over again, to the
point that JD. Evans hijacked the meeting and started yelling
at the guy that you know he's trying to make
the point Vladimir Putin is not sincere, he's not engaging,
and he has no desire for peace anyway, to the
whole trucking thing, this is fairly breaking ish news. Ukraine's
(20:50):
surprise attack dub the Operation Spider Web. The Kremlin authorities
are hunting for are tim Timofeev, a thirty seven year
old former Ukrainian DJ who they say owns a trucking
company and at least one of the trucks involved with
the trucking of the drones around the country.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
I don't know from his company. I don't know if
I believe it. I've never known any DJ who owned anything. Oh,
he's a former DJ.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
Jackie moved on in life, but they both he and
his thirty four year old QT wife, who moonlights as
an erotic novelist Let's is believed to have aided him.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
She writes erotic novels.
Speaker 4 (21:32):
All right, fifty Shades of Kid or whatever, And so
they're hunting for this guy and his wife jack I
suggest that to get to the bottom of the story,
you study up on Russian trucking and I will read
the erotic novel.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
But to the whole you brought up jd Vance in
the Oval Office meeting and you don't have the cards. Well,
brit Human Fox address that whole issue yesterday, as Shane does.
Speaker 11 (21:59):
A established that this country who's president was being told
at the White House that he didn't have any cards
to play, that he apparently has quite a few cards
to play, including this daring attack which, if the Ukrainians
can be believed, wiped out about thirty to forty percent
of Russia's strategic bombing force. That's a major setback for Russia.
(22:21):
It is an embarrassing intelligence failure and an embarrassing defense failure.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
And who knows what else.
Speaker 11 (22:26):
The Ukrainians, who proved pretty ingenious, may have up their sleeves.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
So they have some cards.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
As has been pointed out a bunch of places, many
of these aircraft hundreds of millions of dollars of damage
done for hundreds of dollars of drones. But many of
these aircraft aren't being built anymore. There aren't any parts
for the ones they need to fix. The ones that
are heavily damaged, very unlikely they're going to be able
(22:52):
to get them off the ground. And as we pointed
out earlier, four of those aircraft were part of a
squadron that flew around in the air protecting Moss s'cu
in particular from missile attacks and drone attacks, that sort
of stuff. They were an eye in the sky, they
were a defense they no longer have the ability to do.
Twenty four to seven surveillance of Moscow with those planes.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
It's a big deal.
Speaker 4 (23:15):
So, getting back to your really rude joke about DJs
not owning anything, this guy and his wife were both
Ukrainians living in Russia for a number of years, but
he started his trucking company a year ago.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Well, this is really like the Pager Hesibal attack.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
Yeah, and that they you know, they got that supply
line going for a long time up in Germany and
they had companies there and that whole thing exactly.
Speaker 4 (23:45):
So this dude, I'm guessing or his QDU wife reaches
out to Ukrainian intelligence and says, hey, we're patriots. We
live in Russia. My husband's got a couple of trucks.
He's got a small trucking company or whatever. They get
financed to expand that trucking company a year ago. Because
this has been the works for at least a year,
(24:05):
right accord according to Zelensky, And if this is true, indeed,
it's easy to see the outlines of it. These two
Ukrainian patriots said yeah, we'll help any way we can,
and they trucked the drones around Russia with domestic licenses
and the rest of it.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
Wow, and then dropped off these containers at various places,
and people just didn't notice or whatever. I guess that
container is supposed to be there, and you can picture
a part of every town in America. Nobody had noticed
a couple of you know, a few palletts worth a crap, yeah, exactly,
and then the lids open up automatically and outcome the
drones and blow up all the planes in various airfields
(24:41):
across the country. And in one particular instance, the containers
were right next to the FSB headquarters, Zelensky bragged about
over the weekend, which is something.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
I hope we the USFA are staffing three shifts round
the clock working on our anti attack drone technologies.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
No kidding, China could do this, probably wouldn't blow up airplanes,
although they might, but certainly could blow up power grids
and dams or whatever infrastructure.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
And as we've discussed, could be North Korea, Iran, a cartel,
a criminal gang, you know, trende a.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
Agua two weirdo in cell nut jobs.
Speaker 11 (25:30):
Right.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
It is a major change in warfare. According to every
military expert that I've read or listened to, this is
a major moment in the history of war.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
They likened it too. I was reading last night.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
It was a World War II thing where up until
that point it wasn't believed that planes could sink a
ship that was at Seaver happened before. You just couldn't
bring the firepower on a moving ship at sea that
far from your base to sink a ship. It was impossible.
(26:10):
Then Japanese planes sank two British ships that were headed
there to defend Singapore early in World War Two, and
Winston Churchill I should have hung onto the quote because
I was reading this last night, very dramatic quote of
this changes everything going forward in the history of the world.
Now that ships can't just you know, travel wherever they
(26:32):
want and be unsinkable. Well, this is that big a deal,
according to a lot of military experts, and the whole
drone thing.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
And at the.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
Same time are mighty warships and the ones that China
is so diligently building may soon be pretty obsolete.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
All right.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
And then there's the discussion of Trump's Golden Dome. Okay,
so you defend yourself against intercontinental ballistic missiles bringing in
nukes or whatever. It doesn't matter if you got a
bunch of containers in the country letting drones loose flying
fifty feet off the ground.
Speaker 4 (27:06):
Yeah, maybe we need the Golden Dome and like big
mesh fences like we're running a driving range next to
a golf course or something like that. I mean, goodness
knows the I could see the intersection of the lowest
of tech and the highest of tech to ward off these.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
Drones, right, so, I guess already obviously in Russia they're
stopping like every truck in the country, which you know
is one benefit in that you just disrupt society too much.
I would take a lot of manpower that would slow
down all kinds of different shipping. I wonder what we're
going to do in this country with thousands of containers
(27:45):
coming in from China or all over the place. The
hope aren't full of drones about to be shipped across
the country.
Speaker 4 (27:52):
And other than the utterly useless checkpoint coming into California
from various states where they ask you to ask you
if you have any fri rush fruit or like plants.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
No, okay, you look honest.
Speaker 4 (28:06):
You don't have checkpoints between states in the United States.
I mean, the idea of cracking down on this, it's
it's nigh on impossible.
Speaker 3 (28:15):
Yeah, it changes everything. My kids find that soular areas
I still do. When I went to pick up my
uh cyber truck and reno driving back, I got the
I got had to drive through.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
You got any bananas?
Speaker 3 (28:26):
No?
Speaker 1 (28:26):
Do you.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
Why you're hungry? I got a live jaguar in the back,
but under than that, no nothing. A machine gun and
a whole bunch of drones that could blow up a dam,
But no bananas.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (28:37):
I got a bunch of non needy native species I
was gonna turn loose, but no bananas.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
I've always wondered how you get that job. You gotta
know somebody. Uh, we got more on the way. Stay here.
Speaker 8 (28:54):
The bill increases the debt ceiling by five trillion dollars.
This would be the largest increase in the dead seel
ever in our history.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
As his president college, he's probably telling about this.
Speaker 8 (29:03):
I spoke to him this week. I had a lengthy
discussion with him. He did most of the talking.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Rand Paul, your leaves, run, Mike, and get out of
my way.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
Let it go, Let it go.
Speaker 4 (29:18):
I just accidentally closed a tab that I was really
anxious to talk about. Oh here it is, okay, Ron Johnson,
the senator from Wisisconsin, unleashed a screed recently.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
Oh that's the wrong one, damnit.
Speaker 4 (29:35):
About the so called big beautiful Bill, and I wish
I had the verbiage in front of me. But he
is my new hero. He has said. Look, I know
this is unpopular. I know my colleagues are angry at me,
but I am not going to pretend for another second
that we're not doing exactly the wrong thing here. We
can't grow the deficit anymore. We can't do it to
the kids and grandkids. I won't have it.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
Guys.
Speaker 3 (29:57):
Well he well, let's see how he votes. So I'd
not thought about this before. Jonah Goldberg had an interesting
screed the other day about he doesn't know if he
believes any of these people, like who's the guy from
Texas who's one of the standouts in the House for
being chip Roy? Chip Roy? He said, chip Roy always
(30:18):
makes all these noises about being a fiscal conservative and
we can't do it and blah blah blah blah blah,
and then he always votes for it, says this is
the last time, can't do it. But because of this,
because of that, And that's one example. There's lots of
them do it, and he just and Jonah was wondering,
and I wonder myself how many of them.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
That's just what you got to be in that district.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
And the speaker, whoever it is at the time in
this case, Mike Johnson says, make all the noise. Do
you want to make say you're a no vote up
into the last second, do whatever you gotta do to
hang on to that seat, and then you vote yes
and it passes.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
I have seen that has so many times in.
Speaker 3 (30:55):
My lifetime of watching this, including Rand Paul sometimes where
they're just up into the let and then you hear
you voted yes, and then it just kind of goes
away and it passes.
Speaker 4 (31:05):
Michael, give me seventy three. I have a defense for
those fellows. But first, this is Mike Johnson, the Speaker
of the House.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
I am a fiscal hawk.
Speaker 6 (31:13):
Many of my Republican colleagues in the House feel the
same way. But we didn't get in this situation overnight,
christ And it took us decades, many decades of Congress's
frankly mismanagement of the public fisk to get in this situation,
and the last four years of the Biden administration increased
spending dramatically, so it's going to take us a while
to get out of it.
Speaker 3 (31:34):
Yeah, there's truth to that. I hate to admit that.
Speaker 4 (31:40):
The defense I would offer for those guys is that
there are two strategies you can follow. You can either
say I'm not voting for it. I'm not voting for
it unless I get this and then you don't vote
for it.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
Or you get everything.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
You can drag it out as long as you can
then agree.
Speaker 4 (31:58):
All right, I'll give you my vote. I guess this
is all I can get. Are gonna be back and
try again next time? It's it's a similar process. The
problem with what Jonah Goldberg, who I think he's lost
his mind lately, But anyway, he's a very smart guy.
The problem with his strategy is that you really, you're
(32:21):
kind of punching your caucus in the face, and you
might the next time those negotiations happen.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
You won't be able to get anything. What are we
getting now? We just keep going further in debt.
Speaker 4 (32:36):
I'm not gonna argue with that. So let's see. I'm
saying things that people know need to be said. Said Johnson.
The kid who just exposed that the King is butt naked.
May not be real popular because he was kind of
made everybody else look like fools, but they all recognized
he was right. He said in the Senate, I'd like
to think at least that my colleagues respect my passion,
(32:57):
my genuine desire to do the right thing to fix
these problems. Takes issue with his GOP colleagues claims that
economic growth from the new tax cut will rain in
the deficit. He says, no, the official scorekeepers who say
it'll expand are right. He said he appreciates that Trump's
ideas like no tax on overtime are directed towards working
men and women, but there's nothing growth incentivizing about his
(33:18):
tax proposals.
Speaker 3 (33:20):
Well, I've heard some stuff about the no tax on overtime,
How difficult that's going to or not the no taxes
on tips, how difficult that's going to be in real life?
Like I've got a a Well, let's use somebody else,
not me. If you had a gardener or sitter that
you pay cash, and if you were doing what you're
supposed to do with the ten ninety nine's in the
(33:41):
tax and all, why wouldn't you just call everything a tip.
What's stopping you from saying, yeah, a nice job on
the ard. Here's a two hundred dollars is a tip?
Speaker 4 (33:49):
Right, here's your five dollars fee and two hundred dollars tip,
right right?
Speaker 1 (33:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (33:54):
Plus you know if you look at all, right, So
you got a guy doling out slop there at the ship. Hey,
you got a guy don't one out slop at the
I don't know the year higher end Burger joint.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
Five guys say.
Speaker 4 (34:11):
Their jobs are almost the same, but one generally is
tipped and the other generally is not. Why does the
one person get taxed significantly less than the other person
if their incomes are substantially the same for doing almost
the same job. It's a silly idea.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
Trump said it so he'd win Nevada.
Speaker 3 (34:30):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
Everybody knows it. Correct.
Speaker 4 (34:34):
Yeah, well that was my three minutes for fiscal sanity.
Now I'll shut up.
Speaker 3 (34:39):
Did you look at this golf story? I just saw
the headline on So the US Opening is going on
right now? A US Open qualifying Oh okay. The beautiful
thing about the US Open.
Speaker 4 (34:48):
It's one of the four biggest tournaments on Earth every year,
but it's a true open tournament. You can qualify for it.
You go through regionals and everything, and there's this ups driver.
You play thirty six holes in this one part of qualifying.
He finished his first eighteen holes, then he goes to
get a hot dog because you've got to play another
(35:09):
eighteen holes and you're walking it, and he realizes twenty
minutes after his round is over, he reaches for his wallety.
He realizes his scorecard is still in his pocket. He
did not sign it within the five minute limit or whatever. Disqualified,
even though he was he was going to qualify that
Armstrong and Getty
Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty Armstrong and
Jack Katy and now he Armstrong and Yetty.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
This Free Palestine movement is nothing more than a domestic
terror organization right now. I mean, we had the killings
in Washington a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
We had this issue in Colorado.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
We've seen activities on college campuses now for months and
months and months and months. The rise of anti Semitism
in America, the rise in the number of people who
have come to America who hold anti American views, anti
Western views, and anti Semitic views, and are now willing
to act on it. And I think as a society
we need to understand we are dealing with domestic terrorism.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
It's growing more violent by.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
The day, and if we don't deal with it, these
kinds of things are going to keep happening in cities
all over the place.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Do you think that's over stated.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
I don't know. That's an interesting question.
Speaker 4 (01:09):
It's certainly a little oversimplified, but yeah, there's there's absolutely
a branch of the pro Palestine movement that is willing
to kill at this point to kill and to maim
and to burn and to occupy, into deface or whatever.
And on that topic before we dive into it a
little more in depth. I was encouraged to see Eric Adams,
(01:30):
the somewhat odd Mayor of New York, leaning hard on
infamous DA Alvin bragg to actually prosecute this latest round
of Columbia students who stormed the library injured a couple people,
caused many, many thousands of dollars in dayling free Palestine
right exactly two security guards suffered injuries during the storming
(01:53):
of the building, in which Hamas supporting student activists hand
out literature to classmates attempting to study for finals. Eric
Adams issued a public call to Alvin Bragton not drop prosecutions. Quote,
I think the DA going forward with these charges is
very important to discourage people from carrying out these actions.
When you break into a dorm, when you destroy property,
when you harass students and menace them. We need to
(02:15):
move forward in an aggressive fashion to send a long,
stroud message, long I'm sorry, a strong, loud message that
this is not going to be tolerated. The last round
of Columbia Hamilton Hall violent takeover charges were all dropped
by Alvin Bragg.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
So good for his honor, the mayor. So on the topic.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
Of the long time history of far left Marxists, you know,
radicals joining with his Lombists to accomplish various things. I'm
not going to bore you with the history, but it's
a purely transactional I want to tear down the system.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
You want to tear down the system.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
Let's get together and tear down the system together for
a while. Even though in the case of like American
far lefties, the Islamists would throw them off a tower
the moment they got power, but still there's this weird,
unholy nexus between them. Nelly Bowles, writing in the Free Press,
here are some things that are definitely not anti Semitism,
(03:20):
she says sarcastically.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
The Democratic Socialists of.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
America Liberation Caucus has announced its support for Ilius Rodriguez,
the man who slaughtered two Israeli embassy staffers outside DC's Capital.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Jewish Museum last week. That's right.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
The Democratic Socialists of America have announced their support from
their website excellent statement that we are proud to add
to our name to free Elias. Elias Rodriguez and all
political prisoners. The Palestinian struggle is the tip of the
spear against global imperialism.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
I heard somebody make the point yesterday that Crats more
than any other group, support Ukraine and think Russia is
in the wrong. But you don't see anybody going around
harassing or killing Russians.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
Right right, Yeah. So, keeping in mind that this Elias
Rodriguez shot down the young man, and after being shot,
Sarah Milgram struggled to crawl away, he walked over and
executed her at point blank range.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Okay, horrifying.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
This is the anti Semitic demon that the Democratic Socialists
of America have chosen to lionize. Here is the statement
they are proud to add their name too. The Palestinian
struggle is the tip of the spear against global imperialism.
As imperialism has made the entire world its battlefield, it
is justified to fight by any means necessary, without regard
for geography. This holds especially true for those of US
(04:53):
struggling behind enemy lines inside the US on an identity
that is equal party in all crimes committed by the Zionists,
whether in the besieged Gaza Strip, the Red Sea, the
south of Lebanon or the heart of the US. There
must be consequences for genocidal zionist imperialism, and those consequences
are righteous.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Okay, that's that makes my point perfectly, and I don't
want this to happen. But then, so, why aren't you
targeting Russians. It's the same imperialism trying to take over
a nearby country just because you're bigger and you want
to take it.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
In your mind, I would.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
Assume, but you're not. You're not shooting Russians. No, it's
because they're Jews. Why don't you just admit it? Well,
And you know, I think that's part of it.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
And a lot of the useful idiot, loud mouthed usually women,
screeching in the streets, is just that the the would
be radical, the angry young man, angry young woman rarely
makes a lot of sense. Their anger is their argument,
and they just go back to that over and over again.
So going on, let's see, chance of resistance, chance of
(06:05):
I'm sorry, resistance is justified? Are becoming all the rage
in Chicago? Michael, let's h what is that? Thirty five?
Speaker 3 (06:41):
All right, so the angry, screeching young woman, We.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Don't want no tube steaks. Two states.
Speaker 4 (06:48):
Everybody wants a tube steak check and resistance is justified
chanting in Chicago by the way, for the record, a
permit is generally required for events like marches or parades
that block traffic, rallies using sound amplifying devices, or large
rallies in parks or plaza plazas. Did these people get
(07:09):
a permit to rally for the extermination of Jews in Chicago?
And if so, what the hell is the city of
Chicago doing. And the major anti Zionist protest group, Unity
of Fields, is officially transitioning into quote a militant front
against the US NATO Zionist axis of imperialism. Some of
(07:31):
you people, and you're fine folks. You think me ranting
about neo Marxist radicals is like some sort of Cold
warrior paranoia. No, they are trying to overthrow Western civilization
and its systems. And again this group ZEI, the major
anti Zionist group, Unity of Fields, transitioned into a militant
(07:54):
front against the US NATO Zionist axis of imperialism.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Militant means their plan is to kill more.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
You know, anyone who has ever said the Passover prayer
that ends with next year in Jerusalem.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Well, we're all fair game.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
The killings are anti Zionism, though not anti Semitism, writes
mainstream lefty thinkers. I'm quoting Nelly Bowles here. It just
happens to be that Judaism keeps bringing up Israel? Have
you considered not saying prayers? And a leader of the
Palestine Rites festival is posting how there is no such
thing as.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
The Jewish people. You learn new things every day, but
how would you obviously that we don't want no two
states means Israel has to go away?
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Yeah, oh yeah, absolutely, z down with.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Moss and uh where where the people who live they're
supposed to be.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
At that point, anywhere but here but the but they
know they will have to be killed. The Jews will
have to be killed. So any argument that these angry leftists, marchers, screamers,
demonstrators on college campuses, the people who are are occupying
various halls, any argument that they just want the Palestinian
(09:04):
babies to get their medicine is utterly dishonest. These people
are smart, They're calculating. One of their strategies is to
cloak their real purpose in much more innocent sounding goals.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
They know what they're doing.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
They are radicals bent on destroying the US and well
and NATO and Israel and also capitalism. Take them at
their word, folks. So what is what was the first
part of the chant? I didn't catch it and probably
(09:40):
doesn't matter.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
But uh, he played the very beginninging And what was
the first I didn't get what the first time?
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Yeah? What was that? Liberations possible? Oh, okay, gotcha. That's good, Michael.
We don't want no two states.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
They're calling for the killing of the Jews, globalize the Intefada.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
And what other group could you come within ten miles
of that sort of thing and get away with it
in the United States?
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Name any group? Right. It's amazing that this is occurring
in the year twenty twenty five.
Speaker 4 (10:15):
It's less amazing when you consider how long this stuff's
been taught in our schools and universities, this world view,
and Jack, you actually, I think you may have hit
me with this notion for the first time that these
all these young people who have been indoctrinated, steeped in
this neo Marxist philosophy of the victim of pressure, thing,
(10:37):
anti colonialism, the settler colonial oppression. Blah blah blah. It's
just been crap. They learned from their professors for a
long time. And what are you gonna get out of
class and take on the United States.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
You're gonna go go to Washington, d c.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
And start pulling down all those pillars of what are
you gonna do? You can't do anything, And so they think,
wait a minute, Wait a minute, Israel. There's a fight
going on there. Israel's not that huge, They're surrounded by enemies.
Speaker 5 (11:06):
Yes, I'm gonna advocate for the downfall of Israel to
prove that I'm carrying out my professor's teachings. So everybody's
hot to trot for Israel, even though if your problem
is Muslims dying unjustifiedly, look to Yemen. The numbers there
dwarf anything that's happened, because.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
It dwarfs it. It's been a horror.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
But you got zero fing college kids demonstrating against the
slaughter in Yemen. Why because there's not a handy oppressor
class to target your upper middle class IVY league anger
at people are pathetic, You're so transparent.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
God, So moving away from anger toward a chuckle.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
We'll do a late night joke off coming up as
a whole bunch of the late night comedians who were
back at work took on Elon Musk, and we'll check
that out, among other things. On the waist here, there's
a new younger Bill Mallusion on Fox. Looks almost exactly
(12:10):
like him, exact same jaw and hair, but looks to
be ten years younger.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Mallusion might be what thirty eight?
Speaker 3 (12:18):
This kid looks twenty eight but looks just like him.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
Rupert Murdoch has found a way to breed Bill malusions
on a farm.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
Square heads with perfect hair, like better than perfect hair?
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Like who has hair like that? Yeah? Like AI created.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
I remember when I saw Bill.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Mallusion in person in one of the conventions.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
It's like, how is that real?
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Yeah? Yeah, he's a fabulous reporter. Yeah he's really really good.
Yeah he's not just getting by on his looks. No,
not at all.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
I have a feeling I'm gonna be annoyed by all
these jokes, so I might be stalling.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
I think it's a joke off.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
Yes, I hate the I hate the turn against Elon
Musk because he got involved in politics.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
I got somebody give me a thumbs down.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Yesterday, guy in a motorcycle road in front of me
thumbs give me the big clothes down because I was
of my cybers Trump approve of my motor transportation. I wish,
I wish I could have a conversation with these people.
So should I have not purchased this or sold it once?
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Or what? What near world? How should I be handling this?
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Well, I mean other than a Harley, if I were
to drive a Chevy, for instance, shall I go into
the history of General.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Motors or Ford? What would you suggest?
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Friend, is not that cause Elon sucks, He'd say, But
I hate the anti Elon Musk stuff. And I think
the whole Elon and Trump breaking up thing is way overblown,
way overblown as a story.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
That means said that is sad for late night joke off,
we have three comedians making jokes on the same topic.
I joke Eddy will rate them for the equality of
their jokes. The bottom grade getter will be banned from
comedy for life.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Michael hit It.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Elon Musk last week announced that he is leaving the
Trump administration.
Speaker 6 (13:59):
Wow, he usually doesn't announce when he's leaving.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
Said his kids, Oo're a fair game.
Speaker 7 (14:06):
Elon Musk has officially left the federal government, and he
showed up to his farewell event in the Oval Office
with a black eyed Elon claims the bruise was the
result of this kid punching him while they were horsing around.
One of his kids punched him, which narrows it down
to about one hundred suspects.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
What it is your eye? Okay, what happened to you?
Is your eye? I know this was a bruise thing.
Speaker 8 (14:29):
No.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
I was just pushed around with the lex and I said,
go ahead, punch me in the face, and he did.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
So.
Speaker 9 (14:35):
You're not gonna tell us what happened? Do you need
a safe place to stay? Look, I believe sometimes do
happen when you're rough housing with your kids. But I'm
also sure the one sentence now parent has ever uttered
to their child is go ahead, punch me in the face.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
If your kid's little enough. Yeah, I've probably said that.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (14:59):
Myers and fell in both with solid b's John Stewart's
attempt at some sort of Nate Bargatzi style not a
clear punchline. Just to comment, Terry see it best, John
Stewart only working one day a week is now banned
from comedy for life.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Often the stories suggested it was, you know, really something
that Elon Musk was leaving.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
His time was up.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
It's one hundred and thirty days or whatever that he
was allowed to work was up. He had to quit.
It was part of the deal. You remember, no, right, right?
Speaker 4 (15:34):
And I'm trying to We had a news clip saying,
what is the future of DOGE now that Elon is departing?
And it's like, I can't believe Brettbear was the only
person who interviewed those half dozen absolutely brilliant guys who
were the the gears, the actual machinery of DOGE, who
(15:56):
are still on the job doing amazing things.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
And it ought to be something all of us agree on.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
But it's become only about Elon Musk because we've got
to have a hero or oil villain, and it's got
to be one person, and it's got to be incredibly simple,
one or the other.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
It's just I don't know.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
Democracy doesn't work, not anymore.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
I wonder what's gonna happen to Tesla.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
I just saw in France sales are down seventy percent
year over year because of the tie to Trump. I assume, so,
I mean, I assume that's why I get flipped off
her thumbs down. And the town I live in is
like the most electric car town in America might literally be.
(16:39):
I wonder how long that damage will last? If forever?
You realize you may have killed off the only electric
car company that was making a dent in electric.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Cars in the US. Anyway, Yeah, oh yeah, China's got
their own thing.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
Yeah yeah, there are definitely places where the Trump brand
is poison you now. Tourism is way down because of
you know, the various trade rouugh and tumble.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
Would I ever not go to a country because of
I just I don't know, I don't know. We got
more in the way, Stay here, armstrong and getty.
Speaker 10 (17:21):
Russia reeling from Ukraine's astonishing and unprecedented drone attacks on
military airfields all across Russia. Ukraine's Operation Spider Web kept
secret for more than a year, and as for now,
any end to this war looks a long way off.
Negotiations between Russia and Ukraine and Istanbul ending quickly and
(17:45):
with no breakthroughs.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
Those containers shipping containers that were trucked clear across Russia
that is still a bit of a mystery how they
got trucked across and you know, why would Ukraine tell us?
Speaker 1 (17:59):
But how did they.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
Drive trucks three thousand miles to one airfield? Three thousand
miles That's a length of the United States to blow
up a third of Russia's long distance.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
Aircraft, including one base that Jack has referred to that
it was virtually in Siberia, I mean, just a world away.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
It's amazing. We have more information on that.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
I just want to comment real quick on the Martha
Rabbits piece because I saw coverage on a couple of
different networks that said roughly the same thing. There were
no breakthroughs or the very little progress was reported. You know,
Trump's is so proud of being able to make a
deal all the pieces a deal does.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
That's funny. I don't even hear the peace talk comment, Tony.
It just goes away. I don't even like, doesn't even
register with me, because I think it's all phony.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
Well right, exactly, but Trump's a great deal maker and
he's made some fabulous deals, especially you know, well anyway,
I don't want to get off on that tangent, but
you've got you know, he knows hotels in New York.
All right, So you got one guy says I want
to buy your hotel. I'll give you ten dollars, and
the other guy says, I wouldn't sell so hotel in
a million years for fifty million dollars.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Oh okay. So there was no breakthrough.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
No, there's no basis for a deal whatsoever.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
There was nobody at the table looking for a deal.
They're going through the motions for some reason.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
Well, what does it mean? Is this just a coincidence?
So the so called peace talks. Zolensky wants peace talks.
I mean he said he would show up there in
Istanbul a couple of weeks ago if putin Wood and
Rubio is going.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
To so Zelenski wants peace talks.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
The every weekend Russia has launched the biggest attacks of
the war. This last weekend it was four hundred sum drones,
one hundred more than the previous record from two weeks
ago an attack. And at the same time Ukraine launches
there by far biggest attack on Russia, where they took
out a third of their long range bombers. And to
(19:52):
this morning they blow up that bridgehead in Crimea again.
So now Russia's gonna have to rebuild it before they
can get troops and ammunition and everything into Ukraine.
Speaker 4 (20:02):
But we have to rewind your statement that Zelensky wants
peace talks. Zelenski wants peace talks, we can demonstrate to Trump. Yeah,
I'm willing to talk peace, but he has no interest
in it. So there I went through the motions. Now
can I have some weapons please?
Speaker 3 (20:14):
But why are they both launching their biggest attacks.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
Of the war.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
Is that just in an attempt to win it? I
think it's as simple as that. Thing to do with
forcing the peace talks, I.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
Don't think so.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
Although Zelensky does have motivation for actual peace talks, but
he's made it clear over and over again, to the
point that JD. Evans hijacked the meeting and started yelling
at the guy that you know he's trying to make
the point Vladimir Putin is not sincere, he's not engaging,
and he has no desire for peace anyway, to the
whole trucking thing, this is fairly breaking ish news. Ukraine's
(20:50):
surprise attack dub the Operation Spider Web. The Kremlin authorities
are hunting for are tim Timofeev, a thirty seven year
old former Ukrainian DJ who they say owns a trucking
company and at least one of the trucks involved with
the trucking of the drones around the country.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
I don't know from his company. I don't know if
I believe it. I've never known any DJ who owned anything. Oh,
he's a former DJ.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
Jackie moved on in life, but they both he and
his thirty four year old QT wife, who moonlights as
an erotic novelist Let's is believed to have aided him.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
She writes erotic novels.
Speaker 4 (21:32):
All right, fifty Shades of Kid or whatever, And so
they're hunting for this guy and his wife jack I
suggest that to get to the bottom of the story,
you study up on Russian trucking and I will read
the erotic novel.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
But to the whole you brought up jd Vance in
the Oval Office meeting and you don't have the cards. Well,
brit Human Fox address that whole issue yesterday, as Shane does.
Speaker 11 (21:59):
A established that this country who's president was being told
at the White House that he didn't have any cards
to play, that he apparently has quite a few cards
to play, including this daring attack which, if the Ukrainians
can be believed, wiped out about thirty to forty percent
of Russia's strategic bombing force. That's a major setback for Russia.
(22:21):
It is an embarrassing intelligence failure and an embarrassing defense failure.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
And who knows what else.
Speaker 11 (22:26):
The Ukrainians, who proved pretty ingenious, may have up their sleeves.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
So they have some cards.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
As has been pointed out a bunch of places, many
of these aircraft hundreds of millions of dollars of damage
done for hundreds of dollars of drones. But many of
these aircraft aren't being built anymore. There aren't any parts
for the ones they need to fix. The ones that
are heavily damaged, very unlikely they're going to be able
(22:52):
to get them off the ground. And as we pointed
out earlier, four of those aircraft were part of a
squadron that flew around in the air protecting Moss s'cu
in particular from missile attacks and drone attacks, that sort
of stuff. They were an eye in the sky, they
were a defense they no longer have the ability to do.
Twenty four to seven surveillance of Moscow with those planes.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
It's a big deal.
Speaker 4 (23:15):
So, getting back to your really rude joke about DJs
not owning anything, this guy and his wife were both
Ukrainians living in Russia for a number of years, but
he started his trucking company a year ago.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Well, this is really like the Pager Hesibal attack.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
Yeah, and that they you know, they got that supply
line going for a long time up in Germany and
they had companies there and that whole thing exactly.
Speaker 4 (23:45):
So this dude, I'm guessing or his QDU wife reaches
out to Ukrainian intelligence and says, hey, we're patriots. We
live in Russia. My husband's got a couple of trucks.
He's got a small trucking company or whatever. They get
financed to expand that trucking company a year ago. Because
this has been the works for at least a year,
(24:05):
right accord according to Zelensky, And if this is true, indeed,
it's easy to see the outlines of it. These two
Ukrainian patriots said yeah, we'll help any way we can,
and they trucked the drones around Russia with domestic licenses
and the rest of it.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
Wow, and then dropped off these containers at various places,
and people just didn't notice or whatever. I guess that
container is supposed to be there, and you can picture
a part of every town in America. Nobody had noticed
a couple of you know, a few palletts worth a crap, yeah, exactly,
and then the lids open up automatically and outcome the
drones and blow up all the planes in various airfields
(24:41):
across the country. And in one particular instance, the containers
were right next to the FSB headquarters, Zelensky bragged about
over the weekend, which is something.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
I hope we the USFA are staffing three shifts round
the clock working on our anti attack drone technologies.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
No kidding, China could do this, probably wouldn't blow up airplanes,
although they might, but certainly could blow up power grids
and dams or whatever infrastructure.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
And as we've discussed, could be North Korea, Iran, a cartel,
a criminal gang, you know, trende a.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
Agua two weirdo in cell nut jobs.
Speaker 11 (25:30):
Right.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
It is a major change in warfare. According to every
military expert that I've read or listened to, this is
a major moment in the history of war.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
They likened it too. I was reading last night.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
It was a World War II thing where up until
that point it wasn't believed that planes could sink a
ship that was at Seaver happened before. You just couldn't
bring the firepower on a moving ship at sea that
far from your base to sink a ship. It was impossible.
(26:10):
Then Japanese planes sank two British ships that were headed
there to defend Singapore early in World War Two, and
Winston Churchill I should have hung onto the quote because
I was reading this last night, very dramatic quote of
this changes everything going forward in the history of the world.
Now that ships can't just you know, travel wherever they
(26:32):
want and be unsinkable. Well, this is that big a deal,
according to a lot of military experts, and the whole
drone thing.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
And at the.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
Same time are mighty warships and the ones that China
is so diligently building may soon be pretty obsolete.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
All right.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
And then there's the discussion of Trump's Golden Dome. Okay,
so you defend yourself against intercontinental ballistic missiles bringing in
nukes or whatever. It doesn't matter if you got a
bunch of containers in the country letting drones loose flying
fifty feet off the ground.
Speaker 4 (27:06):
Yeah, maybe we need the Golden Dome and like big
mesh fences like we're running a driving range next to
a golf course or something like that. I mean, goodness
knows the I could see the intersection of the lowest
of tech and the highest of tech to ward off these.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
Drones, right, so, I guess already obviously in Russia they're
stopping like every truck in the country, which you know
is one benefit in that you just disrupt society too much.
I would take a lot of manpower that would slow
down all kinds of different shipping. I wonder what we're
going to do in this country with thousands of containers
(27:45):
coming in from China or all over the place. The
hope aren't full of drones about to be shipped across
the country.
Speaker 4 (27:52):
And other than the utterly useless checkpoint coming into California
from various states where they ask you to ask you
if you have any fri rush fruit or like plants.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
No, okay, you look honest.
Speaker 4 (28:06):
You don't have checkpoints between states in the United States.
I mean, the idea of cracking down on this, it's
it's nigh on impossible.
Speaker 3 (28:15):
Yeah, it changes everything. My kids find that soular areas
I still do. When I went to pick up my
uh cyber truck and reno driving back, I got the
I got had to drive through.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
You got any bananas?
Speaker 3 (28:26):
No?
Speaker 1 (28:26):
Do you.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
Why you're hungry? I got a live jaguar in the back,
but under than that, no nothing. A machine gun and
a whole bunch of drones that could blow up a dam,
But no bananas.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (28:37):
I got a bunch of non needy native species I
was gonna turn loose, but no bananas.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
I've always wondered how you get that job. You gotta
know somebody. Uh, we got more on the way. Stay here.
Speaker 8 (28:54):
The bill increases the debt ceiling by five trillion dollars.
This would be the largest increase in the dead seel
ever in our history.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
As his president college, he's probably telling about this.
Speaker 8 (29:03):
I spoke to him this week. I had a lengthy
discussion with him. He did most of the talking.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Rand Paul, your leaves, run, Mike, and get out of
my way.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
Let it go, Let it go.
Speaker 4 (29:18):
I just accidentally closed a tab that I was really
anxious to talk about. Oh here it is, okay, Ron Johnson,
the senator from Wisisconsin, unleashed a screed recently.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
Oh that's the wrong one, damnit.
Speaker 4 (29:35):
About the so called big beautiful Bill, and I wish
I had the verbiage in front of me. But he
is my new hero. He has said. Look, I know
this is unpopular. I know my colleagues are angry at me,
but I am not going to pretend for another second
that we're not doing exactly the wrong thing here. We
can't grow the deficit anymore. We can't do it to
the kids and grandkids. I won't have it.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
Guys.
Speaker 3 (29:57):
Well he well, let's see how he votes. So I'd
not thought about this before. Jonah Goldberg had an interesting
screed the other day about he doesn't know if he
believes any of these people, like who's the guy from
Texas who's one of the standouts in the House for
being chip Roy? Chip Roy? He said, chip Roy always
(30:18):
makes all these noises about being a fiscal conservative and
we can't do it and blah blah blah blah blah,
and then he always votes for it, says this is
the last time, can't do it. But because of this,
because of that, And that's one example. There's lots of
them do it, and he just and Jonah was wondering,
and I wonder myself how many of them.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
That's just what you got to be in that district.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
And the speaker, whoever it is at the time in
this case, Mike Johnson says, make all the noise. Do
you want to make say you're a no vote up
into the last second, do whatever you gotta do to
hang on to that seat, and then you vote yes
and it passes.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
I have seen that has so many times in.
Speaker 3 (30:55):
My lifetime of watching this, including Rand Paul sometimes where
they're just up into the let and then you hear
you voted yes, and then it just kind of goes
away and it passes.
Speaker 4 (31:05):
Michael, give me seventy three. I have a defense for
those fellows. But first, this is Mike Johnson, the Speaker
of the House.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
I am a fiscal hawk.
Speaker 6 (31:13):
Many of my Republican colleagues in the House feel the
same way. But we didn't get in this situation overnight,
christ And it took us decades, many decades of Congress's
frankly mismanagement of the public fisk to get in this situation,
and the last four years of the Biden administration increased
spending dramatically, so it's going to take us a while
to get out of it.
Speaker 3 (31:34):
Yeah, there's truth to that. I hate to admit that.
Speaker 4 (31:40):
The defense I would offer for those guys is that
there are two strategies you can follow. You can either
say I'm not voting for it. I'm not voting for
it unless I get this and then you don't vote
for it.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
Or you get everything.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
You can drag it out as long as you can
then agree.
Speaker 4 (31:58):
All right, I'll give you my vote. I guess this
is all I can get. Are gonna be back and
try again next time? It's it's a similar process. The
problem with what Jonah Goldberg, who I think he's lost
his mind lately, But anyway, he's a very smart guy.
The problem with his strategy is that you really, you're
(32:21):
kind of punching your caucus in the face, and you
might the next time those negotiations happen.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
You won't be able to get anything. What are we
getting now? We just keep going further in debt.
Speaker 4 (32:36):
I'm not gonna argue with that. So let's see. I'm
saying things that people know need to be said. Said Johnson.
The kid who just exposed that the King is butt naked.
May not be real popular because he was kind of
made everybody else look like fools, but they all recognized
he was right. He said in the Senate, I'd like
to think at least that my colleagues respect my passion,
(32:57):
my genuine desire to do the right thing to fix
these problems. Takes issue with his GOP colleagues claims that
economic growth from the new tax cut will rain in
the deficit. He says, no, the official scorekeepers who say
it'll expand are right. He said he appreciates that Trump's
ideas like no tax on overtime are directed towards working
men and women, but there's nothing growth incentivizing about his
(33:18):
tax proposals.
Speaker 3 (33:20):
Well, I've heard some stuff about the no tax on overtime,
How difficult that's going to or not the no taxes
on tips, how difficult that's going to be in real life?
Like I've got a a Well, let's use somebody else,
not me. If you had a gardener or sitter that
you pay cash, and if you were doing what you're
supposed to do with the ten ninety nine's in the
(33:41):
tax and all, why wouldn't you just call everything a tip.
What's stopping you from saying, yeah, a nice job on
the ard. Here's a two hundred dollars is a tip?
Speaker 4 (33:49):
Right, here's your five dollars fee and two hundred dollars tip,
right right?
Speaker 1 (33:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (33:54):
Plus you know if you look at all, right, So
you got a guy doling out slop there at the ship. Hey,
you got a guy don't one out slop at the
I don't know the year higher end Burger joint.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
Five guys say.
Speaker 4 (34:11):
Their jobs are almost the same, but one generally is
tipped and the other generally is not. Why does the
one person get taxed significantly less than the other person
if their incomes are substantially the same for doing almost
the same job. It's a silly idea.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
Trump said it so he'd win Nevada.
Speaker 3 (34:30):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
Everybody knows it. Correct.
Speaker 4 (34:34):
Yeah, well that was my three minutes for fiscal sanity.
Now I'll shut up.
Speaker 3 (34:39):
Did you look at this golf story? I just saw
the headline on So the US Opening is going on
right now? A US Open qualifying Oh okay. The beautiful
thing about the US Open.
Speaker 4 (34:48):
It's one of the four biggest tournaments on Earth every year,
but it's a true open tournament. You can qualify for it.
You go through regionals and everything, and there's this ups driver.
You play thirty six holes in this one part of qualifying.
He finished his first eighteen holes, then he goes to
get a hot dog because you've got to play another
(35:09):
eighteen holes and you're walking it, and he realizes twenty
minutes after his round is over, he reaches for his wallety.
He realizes his scorecard is still in his pocket. He
did not sign it within the five minute limit or whatever. Disqualified,
even though he was he was going to qualify that
