Yeah, Armstrong and Joe Getty.

The Armstrong and Getty Show.

Hi y'all doing lots to talk about.

Obviously we got a couple of wars going on around the world that we are financially involved with already.

We're not going to get it militarily involved at least with troops in the Ukraine, but we certainly could in the Middle East.

I heard reporting on NBC today that the Biden administration is already determined if Hezbollah gets involved then we're in.

So I don't know.

Plus a immigration update specifically the number of folks from the Middle East who were apprehended in just the last week or so at one sector on the border concerning perhaps not perhaps certainly.

But right now let's talk about some of the spicy stories going on right now with David Drucker senior writer at the dispatch prior to that.

Of course he was senior correspondent for the Washington Examiner and David's also the author of the book in Trump's shadow the battle for 2024 in the future of the GOP David welcome. How are you?

Hey, good to be here. Thank you.

How are you liking working at the dispatch so far?

I really like it.

No, no, no sarcasm. It's a great gig. I think we do a lot of really good work.

And they free me up to just pursue and report really good stories.

Yeah, and you're awesome on there. And one of the reasons I wanted to have you on today in addition to the fact that you're probably the best at reporting on stuff like the Republican House speaker fight.

You seem pretty fired up as I was about the failure of the prestige US media on Tuesday going ahead and announcing that Israeli Israel had bombed a hospital before they knew what was going on, which really pisses me off.

Look, this is pretty typical. I'm not even the biggest look. I'm in the media. So rather than criticize the media, I just trying to do my job.

But I will say as an observer of American and Middle East politics for decades, I'm just told enough that now I've been able to observe this for decades.

This is far for the course. This might be new to some people, but this always happens.

People jump to conclusions when it has to do with Israel.
