Caning & Dueling

0:00This is an iHeart podcast. Guaranteed Human You know what I can really go for right now? Literally anything that comes in a McDonald's carton, wrapper, or bag, or a McDonald's cup. Yes, any of those items you do it. We've got your cravings covered. Now, stop in for the flaky filet of fish. The crispy snack wrap or a large fries for just $2.99. Limited time only, price and participation may vary. Cannot be combined with any other offer. Bottom-up-up-up-up-up. Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. I'm Strong and Getty. And now, he is Armstrong and Getty. You told the media that I was a freaking snake

1:02and that you completely understood why I had been assaulted. I was shocked. It would justify and celebrate this violent assault. That caused me so much pain in my family, so much pain. As Rand Paul yesterday at the confirmation hearing for Senator Mark Wayne Mullen of Oklahoma, who wants to be the DHS Secretary, who said he understood why Rand Paul's neighbor blindsided him for behind and put him in the hospital. Yeah, yeah, about killed him. And Mark Wayne was not terribly charitable in his answer to that question as we played yesterday. And the hostilities continued. Yeah, we have some more clips that we actually didn't get to yesterday, so here's a little more. So, do I understand? So, I just mentioned that the Senate did vote to move along his nomination with the committee, yeah. With the help of Federman, Democrat of Pennsylvania, because Rand voted no, you needed to pick up a Democrat?

2:02Yeah, because the majority party gets like one more person on the committee. Why did Rand vote no? Is it because of the person who hates him? That's a good decent reason. Okay, more of Rand Paul and Senator Mark Wayne Mullen. In the days after the fight, you did many interviews in which you justified the violence as historically justified by precedents, such as caning and dueling. Is it today your opinion that the caning of Charles Sumner was not only justified but argues still for resolving our political differences with violence? What I was simply pointing out is some of the rules that still apply to this body, for instance, dueling with two consenting adults is still there. I was pointing out what is still there. In the legal for 170 years, there's no precedent for legal dueling, even then they fled the country. Do you realize that the man that beat Charles Sumner with a cane, he beat him till he was unconscious?

3:03You know why no senators intervened? Because his friend had a gun on the other senators and he kept beating him and beating him until he crushed his skull. That's what you're insinuating as the president of the Senate and that's what you live by. That is a very, very dangerous sentiment. Wow. We met Senator Mullin in Milwaukee and really liked him. But what he should have done yesterday and what he should do is say, you know, it was a crowd pleasing sort of thing to say, I can understand why your neighbor attacked it. I didn't mean it. I don't violence is wrong. We live in an era where we say hyperbolic things. That's what I did I shouldn't have. That's funny. I was saving this because I didn't want to steal anybody's thunder but I was thinking we need to just fully move into the period of American history where you say I was pandering to the base. And everybody goes, oh, okay, sure.

4:05I mean, because everybody does it, everybody knows they're doing it. And in the world of podcasting, you got a particularly pugnacious host or whatever and the red meat is flying around like it's feeding time at the lion enclosure. I mean, yeah, you're going to say some stuff that in the quiet of a Senate hearing. Sounds ridiculous. And I'm not proving of anything Mark Wayne Mullin said at all. I just, that's the period we're in. Well, crazy and probably unhealthy, but here we are. The other period we're in, I heard this from a pun that I like but is definitely not a Trump fan. Trump doesn't like people who apologize for anything. He is a you stick to your guns, no matter what guy. And he chose Mullin to be his nominee. And if you want Trump support, you got to be a guy who fights everybody all the time. You don't ever back down and say, I shouldn't have said that. Wow. Which kind of fits. Anyway, here's more. You said it.

5:05I quote, sometimes people just need to be punched in the face. Is that still your opinion that political disputes? Can sometimes and often only be resolved by violence? No, I don't, I don't always agree with that. I don't believe in political violence. I've made that very clear. But sometimes people do need theoretically speaking. That's, sir, I get it. It's about character assassination for you. That's the way this game is played, understand it. And you are making this about you, which is fine. But that doesn't keep me. It's character assassination. When you were the one lauding the assault, who do you think started that character assassination? Oh my God. Oh, this is an ugly period we're going through. Oh, do we skip 73? Hansen thought it would make more sense in this order. Oh, okay. Okay. Wow. Yeah, it's, it's super personal with those guys. Obviously. I'd be freaking pacifies Rand Paul. Some guy blindsided me, a nut-owned neighbor and almost killed me and you cheered it.

6:06F you, dude, is the way I would feel if I was Rand Paul. That's clearly how he feels. And I think, I liked Mullen when we met him. But I think he's the big guy who can always win every fight. So he loves the idea of fights. Of course you do. You're bigger than everybody else. Yeah. He's one of those guys. Yeah, and the intellectual curly-headed optometrist does not swing that way. No. Anyway, here's a, here's a more. Three A's in between. You offer no apology. Sir. And you offer no apology today. And no regrets. I don't. I don't. I don't. I apologize. I haven't heard the word regret. Haven't heard. I misspoke. And it was heated. And I made a mistake. Actually, maybe those words. Sir, actually, it wasn't heated. And I'm not apologizing for pointing out your counter. Good. So you're jolly well fine. And you want the American public. And the people up here to vote that may or may not vote for you to know that you supported the felonious violent attack on me

7:09from behind. I did not say I supported it. I said I understood it. There's a difference. By calling you, by calling you. That means you really didn't approve of it. Just completely understand it. What do you think most people would interpret? Completely understand to be support for or a condemnation of the violence? Sir, as I said, we can have our differences. It's not going to keep me from doing my job as Secretary of Homeland Security. I'm going to secure Kentucky. And take care of Kentucky. If this were a one-off, it would be one thing. If you just disliked me so much that you approved violence against me, people could just write it off. Or maybe they hate each other. But really, there's a pattern of this. Now, here's the question I got. Oh, clearly they hate each other. Yes. Here's the question I got is, did they ever get around to, here's the way ice barbie handled it. How are you going to handle it? Did they have that conversation I was told they did not? That the hearing never got around to that stuff. Which seems like the whole conversation that should be had.

8:11That's the point of the hearing. I feel like I've been punched in the face perhaps by Mark Wayne Mullen. By that fact, I had not heard that. Well, have you heard any conversation about me kidding me? Have you heard any conversation about how manyapolis was handled? The sense you're going to run DHS and ice now and how you plan to handle it? I haven't heard any clips about that. We need to hold a say on it and apologize to the founding fathers because it's over. It lasted almost precisely 250 years. But we're done. We're through now. Okay. That's that. I found that deeply discouraging. I'm sure that wasn't your purpose. That's what I want to do right now. I'd love to do it right now. Let's change your butt up there. Do you stand your butt up? Forget about it. That's where we are. Oh, boy. Oh, God. I understand. I understand. I even understand Mullen saying the stuff he said about Ren Paul's neighbor. In the current climate we're in in a certain setting. I say all kinds of things that I don't, you know,

9:12if you really boil it down, I don't mean or believe I shouldn't say or whatever. Just to be shocking or funny or whatever. And if he had said, yeah, you know, I got caught up in the moment. It's trying to, I thought it was a crowd-pleasing line. It was a crowd-pleasing line. But no, I, political violence is awful. I'm sorry for what happened to you. It's terrible. It should never happen to anyone. You know, that wouldn't be that hard to say. But it is. That wouldn't be a sign of weakness at all in my world. Not at all. Well, as we in Ricky Gervais have pointed out through the years notice how I put us together for vehicles, if you strip humor of A, pretend that you don't know that sometimes humor is offered too shock. And you making that joke is an agreement that you disagree with the sentiment, with the audience. Not that you agree with it, but, you know, the humorless strip, the humor of humor, and then just read the words as if they're an essay that you wrote for the New York Times.

10:13I mean, it's so dishonest. Oh my God. So yeah, we've got to go with the times we live in defense. Yeah, that was hyperbole because we were just saying crap. But now it's just, it was podcast stuff. I mean, everybody knows what he means by that. Only people pretending not to understand would say, what was Senator Mullins? How is he slicing it there? Very thin with the whole I don't condone it. I support it or whatever. I understand it completely. I understand why your neighbor I'll put you in the hospital. And there you go. But I don't support it because you're a snake in the grass. And I hate you. Yes. Is why? Well, it, you know, it reminds me of Chris Rock's OJ pit. About you see some young guy tooling around town in your car with your wife. What was this punchline? I'm not saying it's right, but I understand.

11:15Right. All right. Anywho. That was quite a moment. These are guys in the same party. And again, the most important part of that is we didn't really have a hearing and discuss how DHS and ICE are going to move forward in a different way from ICE Barbie. We didn't do that. Hmm. That's shocking. Yeah. Is it surprising though? Hmm. I'd like to, I still can't believe that to be true. I didn't watch the whole hearing. But I, uh, I heard one pundit say that and I haven't heard a single clip from the hearing that had anything to do with how they're going to handle immigration enforcement going forward. I feel like somebody told me your dad murdered the postman because he gave him a hard look. I'm like, I don't know what that can't be. They didn't even talk about like the biggest DHS that DHS isn't being funded right now, ludicrously and stupidly for those very reasons.

12:15And the Democrats are trying to grandstand on it, but yeah, okay. I am. Well, you gave you the side, I dad, huh? I don't play. I totally understand it. I don't condone it, but I understand it. Anyway, you're going to need a good defense attorney. I'll make some calls. Whose side are you on on this thing? Are you on a side? If you are text line 415295KFTC, more to come. You want to do it now? I'd love to do it right now. Let's change your butt up. Yeah. Do you stand your butt up? Are you strong and get it? You know what? I could really go for right now.

14:17Oge. It describes itself as the world's first dog magazine on the world of canine, couture, and lifestyle. And yes, it openly admits it was indeed inspired by Vogue. Kondinast, the parent company of Vogue with a V, is suing alleging that the dog magazine is obviously intended and likely to cause consumer confusion. While Vogue with a V is a magazine for people, it also has a special annual issue devoted to dogs, celebrity dogs called dog. It now wants all copies of dog destroyed in addition to unspecified damages. But Port says she's going to fight back. She says the magazine is a parody. Nobody could confuse it with Vogue magazine. Okay, I didn't know Vogue actually does an issue every year about dogs that they call dog. That's a different thing. But before he said that, I thought you're concerned that people just don't know the difference between a dog magazine and a people magazine.

15:18And women will start trying on dog clothes and be confused when they don't fit. Why are you wearing a dog collar and drinking out of a bowl? Well, I subscribe to dog magazine. Which is the same as Vogue, right? Yes. Your honor, I move for dismissal on the grounds of everybody needs to shut the hell up. We have real problems. Bam, the gavel comes down. Oh, speaking of awards for various things, this is a really funny story. Here's this gal lives in LA in a small apartment, doesn't make a ton of money. She's a production assistant in which, oh, man, those people are vanishing. Is the movie business crumbles and moves to other places. But anyway, she recently returned to LA after spending some time traveling. And she got a new apartment and outfitting her place was proving expensive. And she needed a pretty good sized area rug. And she was, she watched the, she was walking her dog.

16:19And she noticed the red carpet being installed outside the Dolby theater in Hollywood where the Oscars are held. And she says, I got the idea when I was walking her down the red carpet that I could maybe track down what happens to it afterward. And so, dah dah dah. Long story short, she gets up the next morning, bright and early, arrives at the theater. She thought her textile dreams were dashed when she saw the carpet was already gone. But then she thought, maybe I can find it nearby. Sure enough, on a street near the theater, just behind the Jimmy Kimmel live theater, she found a clean dumpster containing the red carpet. Wow, they just roll it up and throw it in a dumpster. Yes, she said, I have the same question. I know people that would buy that. Well, not only that, but how about the area rugs for the poor? I thought you're all about to equity, Hollywood. You just throw this crap out. So she wouldn't pay a couple hundred bucks to have a chunk of red carpet from the Oscars as the runner in their hallway.

17:19Yeah, I know. I know. I hell, I would pay for it ironically. So she says to the security guard, hey, I have an insane question. Can I have some of that red carpet? And the guard just essentially winked at her and pulled a souvenir piece from her own pocket. So she grabbed the biggest piece. She could physically lug home, which measured six foot by eight foot. Now when she enrolled in the apartment, that is a great shape. What a great conversation piece. Yeah, that's funny. And there's a picture of her little dogs in on the red carpet. I've got, I don't know if I ever posted those. I've got pictures because when we were in LA one time, me and the kids were at the Dolby theater. And we did various poses on that. The stairs, the big stairs there. After you get the red carpet, you walk the stairs that you see in every Oscar episode. We all did poses on the stairs because everybody knows. But yeah, that's hilarious that they just roll up the red carpet and throw it in a dumpster. It's kind of surprising. And it's expensive too. They're saying because it's died of very special specific color.

18:22God, you could sell that for many thousands of dollars every year chunks of it. And give it to charity or what I just make a profit or whoever somebody. But the idea of throwing in the trash seems ridiculous. The whole Hollywood crowd is so beneath contempt. I literally can't even work up contempt for them. They're just too dumb and silly for me to even work up any real emotion. Yeah. That is surprised. I mean, I know we've been talking about that whole thing being over for a long time. It was 17 million people tuned in the other night. It is just, it is just, it doesn't exist even really as a thing anymore. I have no shame for the contempt for so many Americans. It's just so damn long. Really, really long things. Ain't exactly hip these days. Three hours. And if you do dip into it, it's them making fun of everything you think. Sounds fun. Well, surprise more people don't watch. Grab the popcorn kids. We got more on the way if you missed a segment at the podcast. Armstrong, you get it on demand.

The governor of California is saying we need to think about what we're going to do. March 31st, there's supposed to be a state holiday named after Caesar Chavez. That name could be changing. This story is going to stay with us for a long time as we figure out the repercussions of it. Okay, they didn't explain in that news clip what the story is, New York Times going big with outing Caesar Chavez as a child rapist.

21:27Yep, at least two teen victims, then the Dolores Huerta, the co-founder of the United Farm Workers, said, yeah, he raped me when I was an adult. How about a little Caesar Chavez bio for those of us who didn't go to a California public school so it's not, you know, we didn't get to taught all this like he was George Washington? Well, correct me if I'm wrong. Your son said he was completely steeped in, and says our Chavez and had no idea what Thomas Jefferson did. Correct. Yeah. Didn't know a single thing about Thomas Jefferson. Like it was a name unfamiliar to him. I don't remember what grade it was, but he knew about Caesar Chavez. So he was born in 1927 in Yuma, Arizona. I don't know why I'd always assumed Caesar Chavez was from Mexico, but he was born in Arizona, grew up in a family of farm workers, and after his family lost their small farm during the Great Depression, they became migrant laborers straight out of the grapes of wrath, moving throughout California to pick crops from job to job and being treated very, very poorly.

22:28If you've ever read the grapes of wrath or know anything about that history, he attended more than 30 schools before dropping out after eighth grade to work full time in the fields. And it gave him a full understanding of the hardships faced by her cultural workers. In the 50s, he began working, doing communities organizing, honed his skills as a community organizer, and founded the National Farm Workers Association alongside Dolores Huerta, who probably should get more credit than she should be a more well-known name than she is it would seem. And maybe she's about to be because Caesar Chavez falling so much. The grapes strike and boycott, which I did not know about, Chavez rose to national prominence during the Delano grape strike, which was from 1965 to 1970, five years, in which he led thousands of farm workers in a strike against California grape growers, demanding fair wages and better working conditions. He organized a nationwide consumer boycott of table grapes that gained massive public

23:31support across the country. I don't, I was a tiny kid. I don't remember it, but maybe it did. Eventually forcing growers to sign union contracts deeply influenced by Gandhi and Martin Luther King. Junior Chavez was committed to non-violent resistance. He used fast marches and boycotts as tools of protest. I didn't know this either. His most famous fast in 1968 lasted 25 days. That's a long time to go without food and drew national attention with Robert F. Kennedy visiting, visiting him to show solidarity at the time. His rallying cry. I should have had you get this clip, Michael. His rallying cry. Yes, we can. C. C. Puede became a lasting symbol of the labor and civil rights movements as known by Dr. Jill Biden. Do we have the clip? I should ask you for the clip. I'm sorry about that. Caesar Chavez passed away. I'm sorry the doctor is running a little late this afternoon. So it'll be a few minutes. It's got a lot of patience. He was part. He was part. C. C. Puede! There you go.

24:31There's the doctor there. But Caesar Chavez got that going and made it famous. And he was awarded the presidential medal of freedom after he died by Bill Clinton. Surprise. He didn't get it in his lifetime. His birthday March 31st is a state holiday in California or at least was probably, I don't think it's going to last. We got what, 12 days by March 31st, it will no longer be a state holiday would be my guess. It's a state holiday in Texas too, which they've already done away with according to that. New states including California in Texas. That doesn't take too much time to list them. That news report we just had said they've already done away with in Texas. Yeah. Yeah. When we were talking about the New York Times breaking story yesterday, a number of you emailed us with comments that I found were very, very interesting. I left out my own snarky comment. I had heard while I was reading his biography to say I was going to say he believed in nonviolence,

25:34except against 13 year old girls if he was horny. Yeah. Yeah, then he gripped them. Oh, so let's see. John writes, for decades, they've ignored the fact that Chavez would drop a dime on any scabs working in the field. That's true. He used brutal violence against scabs, strikebreakers or illegal immigrants who he considered strikebreakers. His organization actually manned the border and physically repulsed illegals trying to come into the country. I mean, I made ice. Look like nothing. You remember when Joe Biden lied and said the border guards were whipping people when they weren't. It says our Chavez guys did. Yeah. How does that not get any attention? Unbelievable. Oh, let's see some comments from Paulo. Chris, you know, I'm just lost back too. Oh, I was about to. Yeah, exactly. Chris, you know, I'm just lost her job as Secretary of Homeland Security or border enforcement was called brutal reckless and racist by the left disregarding.

26:39Now, Mark Wayne. Well, Mullen is up at the same seat before the hearings begin. I'd love someone to read this quote aloud. No attribution. And I quote, we estimate that 60 to 70% of the farm workers in California are out of a job because of the wet packs. The border patrol was not doing their jobs. So we're going to have to go out and do it ourselves. 2025. Let that hang in the air. Then reveal it. That's a quote from Cesar Chavez labor icon. UFW founder. The man who's birthday is a California state holiday. The man on the mural outside half the Democratic party headquarters in America for now. He said it in 1974, then organized his own border patrols to back it up. Before we call Mullen's confirmation racist, someone should explain why it was progressive when Chavez said it. The parties just haven't just switched talking points. They've switched heroes. Well, I don't know about his tactics, but his understanding of the problem was 100% correct. If you have a legal immigrants coming in, you can't get any decent wages for American citizens, obviously.

27:46This note from Christie, Cesar Chavez was a terrorist. Wanted to share my dad grew up in the Central Valley, California in the 60s when Chavez was active. My dad had several friends with small family farms. They didn't employ, employ anyone, let alone migrant workers. The family would do the work and sometimes they would hire the local school kids to come help. You actually did that as a kid, didn't you? Chavez guys would drive by shooting guns and throwing explosives into the farm area because they weren't hiring the right type of laborers. He was certainly no peaceful MLK figure. That's really interesting. Certainly not if you were a 13 year old girl, he found attractive. Oh, let's see. Allegedly. Al the libertarian cop on Cesar Chavez. Fellows hot take on Cesar Kame Chavez. Clips of Chavez, particularly outlining the downside of illegal immigration, the harm to working class Americans are circulating all over right leaning and right wing social media recently. As his words contradict the current ideology and became a talking point for the right,

28:46the left is quick to demonize in distance as it doesn't fit the presentism that guides the current progressive narrative. So that's a very well put argument that yes, the left is canceling him. That's why they're really willing to very quickly get rid of him because that's very inconvenient. It was very inconvenient to have Cesar Chavez name on a street sign or your middle school when he was anti illegal immigration. Good point. Oh, I'm going to keep you anonymous, ma'am, but this is a lean anonymous in Huntington Beach. California two points. This news about Chavez is not new. It was well known in California during the 60s. I remember my mom commenting about it every time he was in the news. But being molested by the boss was viewed through a different lens then and sadly very common. And then she says, wow, that's interesting. Most importantly, this is not about chavez. It's about Muslims keeping in mind that in politics, timing is everything. The Muslims have been trying to get their eye to holiday days or recognized as national holidays.

29:49But they had to get rid of one. Okay. That seems like a stretch to me, but we'll keep an eye on it. Let's see. Chris guys, guys, guys, the woke crowd turned on him because he was anti illegal immigration. He was all about guest seasonal workers and workers rights. Probably would have voted for voter ID too. Okay. Oh, let's see. Len. I grew up in the farm worker movement during the grape and lettuce boycotts that Jack was just describing as my dad was assigned by the AFL CIO as liaison to the United Farm Workers Union. For many years, I have told my children that Cesar would not have appreciated having holidays, schools, parks, and boulevards named after him. And I suggested a better option would be farm worker boulevards, farm worker park, etc. This would appropriately remind us of the importance of the people who bring food to our tables. Now, with these revelations, I feel certain this is the right thing to do. You're move, Gavin. Okay. And then...

30:49Well, they're going to have to rename these streets and schools and all this different sort of stuff and buildings. They got to go with something. They can't... In the same place, huh? That would be the quick and easy. And probably appropriate. Yeah. Yeah, until it turns out that she was, I don't know, a catabuser, whatever. Drown puppies or something, I don't know. Oh, it's hard. No, you shouldn't. I wish she had. She might be a perfectly nice person. You know, I have no reason to think she was. And a rape victim. Yeah. Final note here from Scott, I feel horrible for these women that were raped and essentially tortured by the power in the movement that Cesar Chavez was creating. It's really sad that there are probably countless stories of that throughout humanity of those either thinking they're so powerful that are above prosecution or see if they can take advantage of it. What I do find very interesting is the bigger question of why all this is happening now. I have a tendency to think that between them tearing down Cesar Chavez and MLK Jr. when the tapes come out,

31:51the Marxists left their washing them out of communication so they can rewrite history since both men had by today's standards very conservative views. Yeah. Interestingly, their personal stuff is horrible, especially with Chavez. Well, wait for the MLK stuff to come out. But they don't follow the woke agenda of today, so they have to get rid of them. History books and replace them with current dogma. This is obviously voice dictated, so it's a little scattered. But very interesting in a scary way as they continue to warp the minds of children in the school system and rewrite history like 1984. What's going to be the sacred cows that are destroyed 10 or 20 years from now to make the new dogma? I do agree with you guys and think the US is blazing toward the path of destruction. Do the Marxist America hating teaching even when some of these teachers probably don't even realize that's what they're doing. Yeah, I agree with you completely. They just think they're being up with the times and supporting the current chosen downtrodden. And then he references 1984, several actual classics that mention how fervently brainwashed the youth need to be

32:58to create a new society. And that's the common theme of both fiction and nonfiction about that. If you're going to tear down the old and usher in a new society, you've got to have the young. So they brainwash them. Thanks for the nice things about the show. That is an interesting angle that I hadn't thought of that Cesar Chavez has become really inconvenient. And convenient for people like us. Oh, you want to talk about Cesar Chavez? Great. Here, here, here, let me get a list of quotes about how much he hated illegal immigration for obvious economic reasons because it drives down wages for American citizens or green work, green card workers or whatever. So yeah, interesting. One final note. This is an odd one. It was sent along by Tom. This is from the University of San Diego's, like archives, their official library website about Cesar Chavez.

34:02It's kind of a Wikipedia that they maintain the university. And it goes into how the FBI under Johnson, Nixon, Ford, and Carter surveilled Chavez based on little more than idle talk and unsubstantiated gossip. Blah, blah, blah, goes into the investigation for years and years. What becomes abundantly clear in Chavez's FBI file is that after Hoover's men wrapped up their spying, bound up the foot, thick dossier, cross referenced an index, their material, and analyzed hundreds of reports that came up empty. They found nothing on Chavez. No communist leading, leaning, stained his reputation. No ugly incidents detracted from his reputation. No misappropriation of funds. No extramarital affairs undermined his reputation as a family man. And Chavez never even displayed one Iota of disloyalty or blah, blah, blah. So he's officially still a saint on the University of California at San Diego's website. We'll see how long that lasts. So the Hoover FBI was spying on Chavez, same as MLK, and legally or illegally, I don't know.

35:08Quite possibly illegally, like they were on MLK, junior. Yeah, and that's another weird thing where you got streets and holidays and everything. The FBI used to spy illegally on this person and the Dems love the FBI. I just, I don't understand. Now, and Hoover's name is still on the building. Yes, it's just ridiculous.

So, as we speak, the President of the United States Donald Trump is meeting

37:12with the Prime Minister of Japan. It appears to be in a Chinese restaurant. Why would you meet in a Chinese restaurant with the Prime Minister of Japan? I believe that is the current Oval Office decor. Which does look like a Chinese restaurant. It really does. Gotta get a fish tank in there. Anywho, Japan kind of said the other day, we ain't going to help you with this whole straight-of-her-move problem and everything. But there has been a joint statement put out by Japan and all the European countries. Hey, we're on board with help. Which was nice. I don't know. Like you said, maybe Marco Rubio put that together. I don't know. But that was good to hear. And here is just recently what the Prime Minister of Japan said. You'll hear her interpreter. Now, the world's world-renowned government is very strong. Right now, situations in the Middle East and also the entire world.

38:13We are actually experiencing a very severe security environment. And also the global economy is now about the world-renowned government. It's now about to experience a huge hit because of this development. But even against that backdrop, I firmly believe that it is only you, Donald, who can achieve peace across the world. And to do so, I am ready to reach out to many of the partners in the international community to achieve our objective together.

39:13It's much friendlier than what she said the other day. I don't remember what she said the other day. They just basically said, we're not going to help you. It's not our war. Now she sounds like she's involved and I'm going to talk to our partners and we're going to do it again. The coalition of the willing, I say. I don't really have time to get to it here. But historian and friend of the Armstrong and Gettyshow, Neil Ferguson has a peace in the free press. How the Iran war goes global. And one of the sentences out of that, maybe we'll get to it now or four, is the straight of Hormuz is blocked for how long. The straight of Taiwan is open for how long. His concern being that if Russia and China decided to close the straight of Taiwan right now, with us pretty tied up with the straight of Hormuz being closed, you could have a serious global challenge going on at the same time.

40:16Well, I certainly hope it doesn't happen. I hope not either. In other Donald Trump news, big new Yahoo, you go up, pull out Trump's 41 points underwater on the cost of living. Gas price ain't going to help with that. If you miss a segment of the podcast, I'm strong and getting on demand. Armstrong and Gettys.
