WEBVTT - Hide Your Mice! 0:00:03.680 --> 0:00:07.520 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio at the 0:00:07.560 --> 0:00:12.580 George Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. Armstrong 0:00:12.640 --> 0:00:13.320 and Getty. 0:00:13.500 --> 0:00:20.369 And now, here's Armstrong and Getty. 0:00:26.930 --> 0:00:30.430 Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney shockingly claimed he has prepped 0:00:30.770 --> 0:00:35.860 for America invading... Which explains his Amazon order for white flags. 0:00:41.420 --> 0:00:44.780 Yeah, there's another wrinkle in the whole tariff war with 0:00:44.870 --> 0:00:48.010 Canada thing that I don't have a lot of interest 0:00:48.030 --> 0:00:52.270 in being an expert in or talking about. I just 0:00:52.310 --> 0:00:55.700 wish none of it was happening. But it is. 0:00:55.710 --> 0:00:58.850 Yeah, I have a similar attitude. I love Canada. They're 0:00:58.890 --> 0:01:02.330 woke and stupid, but there's no reason to alienate our friends. 0:01:02.510 --> 0:01:05.770 And I read a great piece in the Free Press. 0:01:07.650 --> 0:01:10.569 You don't necessarily hear this or get this sense. The 0:01:10.610 --> 0:01:16.750 Canadian people are horrified and enraged at the way they're 0:01:16.770 --> 0:01:17.390 being treated. 0:01:17.530 --> 0:01:18.419 They don't get it. 0:01:18.930 --> 0:01:23.070 You've punched your best friend in the mouth without explanation 0:01:23.110 --> 0:01:24.090 or provocation. 0:01:24.420 --> 0:01:28.600 It's not cool. And from what I can tell from 0:01:28.680 --> 0:01:34.139 most of my favorite economic pundits, for no gain, Oh, right. Yeah. 0:01:34.160 --> 0:01:39.020 Oh, it's incredibly damaging to U.S. manufacturers. I mean, the autos, 0:01:39.060 --> 0:01:42.120 the cars, nobody says automobile. Oh, nice automobile, Jim. 0:01:42.310 --> 0:01:46.830 Well, thank you, Ed. It crosses the border like a 0:01:46.870 --> 0:01:53.790 dozen times. Nice automobile, Jim. Got a murder in the 0:01:53.850 --> 0:01:59.270 Bay Area where we broadcast part of California that's getting 0:01:59.330 --> 0:02:02.730 national attention today. Not sure how many of the details 0:02:02.800 --> 0:02:05.840 are out now. I think it's pretty obvious what happened here. Anyway, 0:02:05.880 --> 0:02:06.960 here's the news report on it. 0:02:07.340 --> 0:02:11.060 The couple in their mid-70s allegedly used a single firearm 0:02:11.100 --> 0:02:14.880 to take turns to shoot at their son-in-law. Police say 0:02:14.940 --> 0:02:19.020 the incident happened on Saturday at a busy sports complex 0:02:19.180 --> 0:02:23.760 in Dublin, California. Police have identified the victim as Jonathan McKenzie, 0:02:23.880 --> 0:02:25.250 a director of engineering at McKenzie. 0:02:25.590 --> 0:02:26.690 New York Times games. 0:02:27.010 --> 0:02:32.230 Authorities also identified the suspects, his 77-year-old in-laws, Shu Yong 0:02:32.290 --> 0:02:35.470 Zhang and Shili Chen. Their daughter had been mired in 0:02:35.510 --> 0:02:38.950 a brutal divorce with McKenzie, according to court documents. 0:02:39.370 --> 0:02:41.890 They'd each accused each other of domestic violence. 0:02:42.520 --> 0:02:45.980 McKenzie had also faced two charges of misdemeanor child abuse 0:02:46.280 --> 0:02:48.030 for which he pleaded not guilty. 0:02:48.340 --> 0:02:51.209 Police say still no word on a motive. All right. 0:02:51.270 --> 0:02:53.470 Just for the record on a motive. I'm sorry. 0:02:53.510 --> 0:02:55.169 Just for the record on air meeting. I would have 0:02:55.210 --> 0:02:59.419 told the story five times better than that. That was 0:02:59.440 --> 0:03:05.730 terrible storytelling. I'm offended as a consumer of the human experience. 0:03:06.110 --> 0:03:07.790 I would agree that you're right. Go ahead and tell 0:03:07.810 --> 0:03:11.870 your version of the story. And Katie, if you got something... Well, actually, 0:03:12.250 --> 0:03:15.350 I wanted it to be a bad version because that's 0:03:15.389 --> 0:03:19.030 the way I'm hearing it everywhere without them making clear 0:03:19.090 --> 0:03:22.410 what happened here. Wow, so terrible. Am I wrong that 0:03:22.650 --> 0:03:26.669 clear what happened is you got some parents... who their 0:03:26.730 --> 0:03:30.929 daughter and grandchild was being abused by a dude. There 0:03:30.950 --> 0:03:34.669 was no legal way to deal with this. He was 0:03:34.730 --> 0:03:37.860 still being abusive. So they did what I would do 0:03:37.960 --> 0:03:40.660 myself is murdered the son of a bitch. Now, I 0:03:40.700 --> 0:03:43.160 don't know if this is true. You know, they could 0:03:43.200 --> 0:03:45.360 be wrong. They could be misled by their daughter. All 0:03:45.420 --> 0:03:48.660 kinds of things happen in these divorce disputes. But if 0:03:48.940 --> 0:03:50.390 there was a story, we had a story like this 0:03:50.410 --> 0:03:52.610 a couple of weeks ago. Who was who was that 0:03:52.690 --> 0:03:57.900 in that case? High profile. One of these. Anyway, it'll 0:03:57.920 --> 0:04:00.500 pop into my head. It was a high profile news 0:04:00.560 --> 0:04:05.870 story where somebody couldn't get justice for... It's not ringing 0:04:05.910 --> 0:04:08.730 a bell. It'll pop into my head. But yeah, if 0:04:08.850 --> 0:04:13.810 my daughter and grandchild was... This guy allegedly had punched 0:04:13.910 --> 0:04:17.350 the six-year-old grandchild in the face. And if there's no 0:04:17.390 --> 0:04:19.290 way to stop him and he's still abusive and I'm 0:04:19.290 --> 0:04:21.610 77 years old, I'm going to kill you. That's what 0:04:21.650 --> 0:04:22.169 I'm going to do. 0:04:22.830 --> 0:04:23.090 All right. 0:04:23.150 --> 0:04:25.169 I heard somewhat different facts, but all right. 0:04:25.250 --> 0:04:25.410 So. 0:04:26.960 --> 0:04:29.880 Well, that's why I threw in the caveat of depends 0:04:29.940 --> 0:04:33.250 on what the details turn out to be. But if that's, 0:04:33.470 --> 0:04:35.750 I have a feeling that's what the grandparents believed. 0:04:36.450 --> 0:04:37.710 Right. Okay. All right. 0:04:42.070 --> 0:04:45.070 So dude is walking across a parking lot in a 0:04:45.190 --> 0:04:47.630 park in a very nice part of the Bay Area 0:04:47.770 --> 0:04:51.960 of California. Elderly dude walks up to him, shoots him 0:04:52.000 --> 0:04:54.680 a bunch of times, hands the gun to the old 0:04:54.779 --> 0:04:59.279 lady to his right, who empties the magazine into dude 0:04:59.580 --> 0:05:02.920 who bleeds out in the parking lot. They stand around, 0:05:03.360 --> 0:05:07.010 get arrested by the cops who show up. Turns out 0:05:07.190 --> 0:05:11.910 it's his in-laws. It's his mother and father-in-law, elderly in 0:05:11.950 --> 0:05:17.040 their late 70s. Now, allegedly, this guy was, well, not 0:05:17.100 --> 0:05:23.460 allegedly accused. He was accused of allegedly slapping his child 0:05:23.980 --> 0:05:27.480 upside the head. And his wife called the cops and 0:05:27.760 --> 0:05:31.000 claimed that he had also bruised her arm a couple 0:05:31.020 --> 0:05:36.270 of years prior. And the cops actually investigated that. And 0:05:36.310 --> 0:05:38.110 when they went to the home, they found the two-year-old 0:05:38.170 --> 0:05:41.770 child in a room upstairs by himself while the dude 0:05:41.810 --> 0:05:47.630 was out shopping. It certainly seems like mom and dad 0:05:47.890 --> 0:05:50.729 were pretty horrified by this guy as a husband and 0:05:50.770 --> 0:05:53.169 father of their grandchild and decided the world would be 0:05:53.190 --> 0:05:54.090 better off without him. 0:05:54.690 --> 0:05:58.880 And they probably figured we're old, we're willing to, you know, 0:06:00.360 --> 0:06:03.460 fall on a grenade to stop this from happening. Right, right. 0:06:03.860 --> 0:06:06.599 You always have to throw in the caveat in these 0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:09.880 divorce situations of who knows what the facts are because 0:06:09.940 --> 0:06:14.640 people claim all kinds of crap in divorce disputes. Now, Katie, 0:06:14.660 --> 0:06:17.730 is there a trans thing going on? Oh, yeah, that's right. 0:06:17.810 --> 0:06:21.210 I forgot that aspect of it. Dude's trans. Female to 0:06:21.250 --> 0:06:25.089 male trans. So he is originally a she. 0:06:26.910 --> 0:06:27.190 Yeah. 0:06:27.210 --> 0:06:30.580 So somebody with some pretty significant mental problems. They buried 0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:32.320 that in the story that I saw. That was like 0:06:32.339 --> 0:06:35.820 in the last paragraph. And I thought, how? That seems 0:06:36.279 --> 0:06:38.110 I suppose you could make the argument that it's not. 0:06:40.770 --> 0:06:44.030 germane to the discussion, but I'm going to claim it is. 0:06:45.010 --> 0:06:48.170 I think somebody who thinks they're living in the wrong 0:06:48.210 --> 0:06:53.820 body has mental problems. Even if actual gender dysphoria is 0:06:53.880 --> 0:06:55.960 a thing in very rare cases, that's. 0:06:55.880 --> 0:06:58.260 A hell of a mental problem. If I'm a juror, 0:07:00.300 --> 0:07:03.320 whether I like it or not, I'm leaning toward thinking, okay, 0:07:03.420 --> 0:07:06.909 I'm more likely to believe this guy's capable of weird behavior. 0:07:07.830 --> 0:07:10.620 Whether that's fair or not. When I find out that 0:07:10.640 --> 0:07:13.340 he's trans. I appreciate your candor. 0:07:13.400 --> 0:07:16.340 I think a lot of us would think the same thing. 0:07:17.100 --> 0:07:24.050 This guy, person, thing, guy, fella, woman, guy, was the, like, 0:07:24.120 --> 0:07:26.490 one of the head engineers for the New York Times 0:07:26.610 --> 0:07:33.270 games section, of which I am an enthusiastic participant, tech guy, person. 0:07:34.170 --> 0:07:37.250 Was he behind, like, making Wordle work? 0:07:37.290 --> 0:07:38.430 That's his department. 0:07:38.470 --> 0:07:38.570 Wow. 0:07:39.760 --> 0:07:42.900 Yeah. Connections. Oh, so good for the brain. I need 0:07:42.960 --> 0:07:44.380 to do that every day, but I don't. I should. 0:07:45.200 --> 0:07:45.860 Et cetera. 0:07:47.500 --> 0:07:50.640 I'm a huge fan of cross play. I feel like 0:07:50.690 --> 0:07:51.830 we've gotten off track. 0:07:53.110 --> 0:07:55.010 Oh, that's right. A guy was gunned down by his 0:07:55.070 --> 0:07:57.690 in-laws in a parking lot. Right. Oh, but have you 0:07:57.730 --> 0:08:00.510 played Spelling Bee? Because that's a good one. Judy is 0:08:00.550 --> 0:08:02.310 into it. I don't have the time. I don't have 0:08:02.330 --> 0:08:04.090 any interest in any of those. I've never played Wordle. 0:08:04.110 --> 0:08:05.710 I don't even know what it is. That's why your 0:08:05.730 --> 0:08:09.860 brain is turned to motion. It's so good. That's why 0:08:09.900 --> 0:08:17.270 you're a jittering old fool. That's why I have to 0:08:17.290 --> 0:08:21.810 wear a bib drool running down my chin. Oh, Lord. 0:08:22.190 --> 0:08:22.410 Right. 0:08:22.510 --> 0:08:23.490 A guy was murdered. 0:08:23.870 --> 0:08:24.150 Sorry. 0:08:24.490 --> 0:08:26.630 Back to the thread of the thing. You got to admit, 0:08:27.030 --> 0:08:29.630 before you know what happened to me, once you know 0:08:29.750 --> 0:08:33.080 what I think the grandparents think is true, whether it's 0:08:33.100 --> 0:08:36.770 true or not, once you know that, I think it's 0:08:36.790 --> 0:08:39.959 pretty easy to understand this story to me. But prior 0:08:40.000 --> 0:08:44.460 to that detail, it's like, what the hell? A couple 0:08:44.520 --> 0:08:50.860 of really old people taking tremendous glee in shooting this 0:08:50.940 --> 0:08:53.640 guy in cold blood. What the hell is that? And 0:08:53.679 --> 0:08:55.740 not even trying to get away with it. Where'd you 0:08:55.760 --> 0:08:56.840 get glee from? 0:08:57.059 --> 0:08:57.219 What? 0:08:57.320 --> 0:08:57.600 Glee? 0:08:59.750 --> 0:09:00.000 Glee. 0:09:01.690 --> 0:09:05.370 Glee might be the wrong word, but but certainly probably 0:09:05.890 --> 0:09:08.530 they're probably horrified that they had to make this sacrifice, 0:09:08.570 --> 0:09:11.410 but they made it nonetheless. The standing there, he hands 0:09:11.470 --> 0:09:13.550 a gun to her and she finishes out the clip. 0:09:13.610 --> 0:09:15.110 I don't know what the word would be. Maybe Glee 0:09:15.130 --> 0:09:22.050 is not the right word, but it's certainly a tremendous enthusiasm. Willingness. Yes. 0:09:22.080 --> 0:09:22.240 Yes. 0:09:23.000 --> 0:09:23.349 Uh, yeah. 0:09:23.380 --> 0:09:26.829 And they decided to share that sacrifice, uh, between the 0:09:26.890 --> 0:09:27.449 two of them. 0:09:27.809 --> 0:09:30.730 Right. Yeah. That's, that's a good point. Clearly on purpose. 0:09:30.750 --> 0:09:34.550 They wanted to both go down for this. Hmm. I 0:09:34.550 --> 0:09:35.910 don't know if I would do that. I would think, 0:09:35.929 --> 0:09:37.890 you know what? I'll go to prison. You stay out 0:09:37.929 --> 0:09:39.230 of prison so you can help take care of the 0:09:39.250 --> 0:09:42.510 granddaughter or grandson. Right, right, right. 0:09:42.590 --> 0:09:42.850 Yeah. 0:09:43.650 --> 0:09:47.550 That's a heck of a story though. We don't know. 0:09:47.610 --> 0:09:49.290 Or, you know, the wife who I think was the 0:09:49.330 --> 0:09:51.670 second shooter, uh, her lawyer's going to say, dude was 0:09:51.700 --> 0:09:52.360 already dead. 0:09:53.309 --> 0:09:55.480 She was just shooting a gun into a dead guy. 0:09:55.500 --> 0:09:58.079 You got to let her off. The husband's thinking, wait, what? 0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:05.080 Nobody told me about this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Maybe he 0:10:05.240 --> 0:10:06.120 really hated Wordle. 0:10:07.420 --> 0:10:11.189 This is neither here nor there, but there's, do you 0:10:11.230 --> 0:10:15.970 know the legendary weird L.A. band Sparks? They've got a song. 0:10:16.090 --> 0:10:19.750 It's Romeo sings the song to the living Juliette. And 0:10:19.809 --> 0:10:23.250 it's extremely bitchy because they were both supposed. 0:10:22.890 --> 0:10:27.070 To take the poison. And she doesn't. And right. Well, 0:10:27.090 --> 0:10:27.530 she doesn't. 0:10:27.620 --> 0:10:27.790 Right. 0:10:28.220 --> 0:10:31.060 And and he's guilting her through the whole song. Anyway, 0:10:31.440 --> 0:10:35.119 it's very funny. What's the name of that? Anyway, I 0:10:35.140 --> 0:10:39.900 don't know. Figure it out. Ask your local chat bot. So, yeah. 0:10:40.540 --> 0:10:44.830 So I guess these two old Chinese folks, Chinese American 0:10:44.920 --> 0:10:46.490 folks are just going to go to prison for the 0:10:46.530 --> 0:10:47.189 rest of their days. 0:10:47.990 --> 0:10:51.270 They clearly were OK with that. Because they did not 0:10:51.309 --> 0:10:52.150 try to get away at all. 0:10:52.970 --> 0:10:53.230 Yeah. 0:10:53.770 --> 0:10:56.410 They knew what was going to happen. God, I wish 0:10:56.450 --> 0:10:57.929 I could remember that story. We had it just like 0:10:57.970 --> 0:11:00.690 a week ago. We had this discussion. I even said 0:11:00.730 --> 0:11:02.530 the same thing on the air. If I was a dad, 0:11:02.570 --> 0:11:05.930 I would do the same thing probably. None of us 0:11:06.010 --> 0:11:10.610 remember that? We all have Alzheimer's. Or you're having a 0:11:10.630 --> 0:11:14.030 psychotic episode. Or you're making things up again. Because your 0:11:14.050 --> 0:11:16.579 brain's gone soft from not doing puzzles. 0:11:16.600 --> 0:11:16.820 Yeah. 0:11:17.220 --> 0:11:19.950 Right. No wordles ever. The lack of word all this, 0:11:20.410 --> 0:11:23.010 it's probably a, you know, it's like a vitamin deficiency. 0:11:23.030 --> 0:11:31.819 My brain's gone soft. I'll remember it. What story it was. Gosh, 0:11:32.340 --> 0:11:35.100 that was high profile. It fits into a big story. 0:11:35.120 --> 0:11:39.780 Speaking of crime and, and Lord activities and justice and 0:11:39.800 --> 0:11:43.500 that sort of thing, the Cornell rape case. I do 0:11:43.540 --> 0:11:48.300 want to touch on that at some point. Um, It's 0:11:48.450 --> 0:11:51.030 turned very Duke lacrosse ugly. 0:11:51.230 --> 0:11:54.350 It was the I know what the story was. You're 0:11:54.390 --> 0:11:57.850 right that that Cornell gang rape story is compelling. We'll 0:11:57.890 --> 0:11:59.839 have to get that at some point, maybe separate it 0:11:59.880 --> 0:12:02.660 from this by a segment or two. I remember the story. 0:12:02.940 --> 0:12:06.420 The congressman who was allegedly sure looked like it was true, 0:12:06.440 --> 0:12:10.280 abusing his wife and kid. And you had his daughter. Father-in-law, 0:12:10.320 --> 0:12:14.540 the U.S. senator, talking about how awful it was to 0:12:14.559 --> 0:12:17.080 have to drop off the grandkid with this monster all 0:12:17.120 --> 0:12:19.480 the time and wanting justice for that. And we were 0:12:19.520 --> 0:12:21.100 having the discussion of what would you do when you 0:12:21.140 --> 0:12:23.200 can't get any justice from the cops? And I said, 0:12:23.220 --> 0:12:27.260 I think I might kill the guy as a dad 0:12:27.480 --> 0:12:31.000 who was getting justice no other way. That's what I 0:12:31.040 --> 0:12:33.840 think happened in this story in the Bay Area. So 0:12:33.860 --> 0:12:34.260 it would seem. 0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:38.380 I mean, obviously, with all due respect, and I mean 0:12:38.420 --> 0:12:42.030 that too, Your statement about how all sorts of wild 0:12:42.340 --> 0:12:45.959 and dishonest stuff gets thrown around, sometimes in divorce proceedings 0:12:46.020 --> 0:12:50.839 and custody battles. Mom and dad had to be 100% 0:12:50.840 --> 0:12:53.600 convinced of what the truth was to do what they did. 0:12:53.620 --> 0:12:56.860 They probably have pretty good reason to feel the way 0:12:56.880 --> 0:13:01.640 they felt. Unless they're nuts. Both of them. Their brains 0:13:01.679 --> 0:13:03.829 went to mush because they didn't do enough crossword puzzles 0:13:03.850 --> 0:13:06.530 or whatever your theory was. Yeah, or connections, even better. 0:13:06.630 --> 0:13:06.790 Yeah. 0:13:07.130 --> 0:13:17.220 Any thoughts on this? Text line 415-295-KFTC. Armstrong and Getty. 0:13:21.800 --> 0:13:23.460 The Armstrong and Getty Show. 0:13:26.200 --> 0:13:28.719 The two giant pandas are now settling into their new 0:13:28.800 --> 0:13:32.179 home at Zoo Atlanta. Ping Ping and Fu Shuang were 0:13:32.260 --> 0:13:36.319 loaded into custom crates onto a plane dubbed the Panda Express, 0:13:36.700 --> 0:13:40.730 bound for their new life 8,000 miles away. Amid tensions 0:13:40.770 --> 0:13:44.189 between the two countries, Chinese President Xi Jinping called this 0:13:44.270 --> 0:13:47.630 latest arrival an envoy of friendship. Visitors can't see the 0:13:47.650 --> 0:13:50.800 pandas just yet. They have to quarantine for 30 days 0:13:50.860 --> 0:13:52.940 before the zoo can introduce them to the public. 0:13:54.320 --> 0:13:58.090 I think panda diplomacy is stupid. I'm perfectly fine with 0:13:58.110 --> 0:13:59.949 pandas at the zoo, and I'm sure your kids would 0:13:59.970 --> 0:14:01.810 like to see them. But the idea that it has 0:14:01.970 --> 0:14:09.910 any effect on world peace, I think, is silly. It's 0:14:09.960 --> 0:14:10.460 the opposite. 0:14:10.500 --> 0:14:13.400 It's a measure that, OK, things are reasonably friendly, so 0:14:13.420 --> 0:14:15.340 they'll lend us their money. 0:14:15.970 --> 0:14:21.750 Colorful bears. Do you think it slows down China's intent 0:14:21.860 --> 0:14:24.480 to take over the world by even this much? 0:14:24.980 --> 0:14:25.220 I don't. 0:14:26.240 --> 0:14:28.280 How about you also free a couple of dissidents? 0:14:28.460 --> 0:14:28.680 No? 0:14:28.880 --> 0:14:31.940 Okay, we'll take the pandas. Yeah, it's just silly. 0:14:32.040 --> 0:14:32.920 And I'm pro-panda. 0:14:33.040 --> 0:14:36.560 Strongly pro-panda. Why do they have to quarantine for 30 days? 0:14:37.060 --> 0:14:40.239 Do they got the COVID? They've been hanging around the 0:14:40.280 --> 0:14:41.700 Wuhan lab where it leaked from? 0:14:43.020 --> 0:14:46.120 Coming up, we're going to talk about the terrorists arrested 0:14:46.200 --> 0:14:49.540 then let go in Great Britain, what that story was about. 0:14:50.480 --> 0:14:51.920 And I don't know if it has anything to do 0:14:51.940 --> 0:14:55.870 with the whole Muslim extremists taking over Great Britain thing. 0:14:57.350 --> 0:15:00.590 But I don't know if you've been following this. Marine 0:15:00.630 --> 0:15:04.990 Le Pen now leads in the new French presidential poll 0:15:06.990 --> 0:15:12.760 by a lot. So we might see another big move by... 0:15:13.270 --> 0:15:16.490 what they call the far right in mainstream media, which 0:15:16.550 --> 0:15:21.010 is all a reaction to just insane levels of immigration. 0:15:21.600 --> 0:15:21.790 Yes. 0:15:22.140 --> 0:15:23.460 Yeah. 0:15:23.560 --> 0:15:29.460 And specifically, immigration from a culture that is extremely unlikely 0:15:29.480 --> 0:15:34.060 to integrate well with Western civilization and our norms of democracy, 0:15:34.080 --> 0:15:37.900 free speech, freedom of religion, etc. I tell you one thing, 0:15:37.950 --> 0:15:42.150 you good people, If you're bad, I'm leaving you out 0:15:42.170 --> 0:15:46.630 of this. But you good people, you need to absolutely 0:15:46.870 --> 0:15:52.950 flush somehow from your consciousness the idea that criticism of 0:15:53.230 --> 0:16:00.480 Islam is a bigoted thing, is bigotry, it's ugly, as 0:16:00.530 --> 0:16:06.150 opposed to comparing and contrasting to political systems. Never mind 0:16:06.270 --> 0:16:09.890 its religious component. It's irrelevant. Well, it's not irrelevant, but 0:16:09.950 --> 0:16:13.830 it's less relevant to the question than the sociological and 0:16:13.870 --> 0:16:19.110 political questions. It's not bigotry to compare communism with the 0:16:19.150 --> 0:16:23.270 free market. It's not bigotry to compare a parliamentary system 0:16:24.410 --> 0:16:29.920 to a bicameral legislature like we have. It's not bigotry 0:16:30.240 --> 0:16:35.660 to compare Western liberal democracies with with islam it's not 0:16:36.060 --> 0:16:39.120 bigotry compare away and we shall. 0:16:39.000 --> 0:16:44.300 And then in addition to that if you let in 0:16:44.340 --> 0:16:47.040 a whole bunch of people from a different culture even 0:16:47.080 --> 0:16:49.740 if it's not islam as seen in the united states 0:16:50.520 --> 0:16:53.500 people don't like it it's just true i mean you're 0:16:53.520 --> 0:16:57.010 going to drive them into certain political factions yeah if 0:16:57.050 --> 0:16:59.730 you do that it's just it's just to me it's 0:16:59.890 --> 0:17:00.570 just human. 0:17:00.370 --> 0:17:03.830 Nature Yeah, Germany, another great example of that. The mainstream 0:17:03.890 --> 0:17:07.399 pretended that the concerns of the people either didn't exist 0:17:07.460 --> 0:17:11.020 or weren't legitimate until somebody said, hey, we're listening to you. 0:17:11.460 --> 0:17:13.720 And that happened to be the the AFD. 0:17:13.780 --> 0:17:17.480 Is that it? Another so-called right wing party. 0:17:17.720 --> 0:17:19.869 Also, we probably ought to get to the superhuman baby 0:17:19.930 --> 0:17:22.980 of color who ate a live mouse. and the controversy 0:17:23.420 --> 0:17:24.510 over that online. 0:17:24.530 --> 0:17:29.630 Superhuman baby of color who ate a live mouse. There's 0:17:29.670 --> 0:17:30.510 a lot in that sentence. 0:17:30.950 --> 0:17:39.410 Armstrong and Getty. The Armstrong and Getty Show. 0:17:41.900 --> 0:17:44.190 Five British men are out on bail tonight after a 0:17:44.210 --> 0:17:47.250 suspected bomb plot against a U.K. air base used by 0:17:47.310 --> 0:17:50.669 American forces in the war against Iran, a move President 0:17:50.690 --> 0:17:51.690 Trump is questioning. 0:17:51.970 --> 0:17:53.410 I'm surprised that they released him. 0:17:53.430 --> 0:17:55.260 I wouldn't have done that. Look, they've been very good. 0:17:55.300 --> 0:17:59.119 They worked with us very closely. We know everything about him. 0:17:59.440 --> 0:18:02.780 Police say the suspects, age 23 to 25, are from London. 0:18:02.900 --> 0:18:05.720 They were initially taken into custody on suspicion of plotting 0:18:05.800 --> 0:18:06.760 a terrorist act. 0:18:07.180 --> 0:18:11.939 They absolutely remain under investigation as we explore multiple lines 0:18:11.960 --> 0:18:12.700 of inquiry. 0:18:12.720 --> 0:18:15.119 I am highly confused by this story. I hope you 0:18:15.160 --> 0:18:21.360 have a way to unconfuse me. Maybe not. I, too, 0:18:21.440 --> 0:18:22.240 am confused. 0:18:22.300 --> 0:18:26.660 Marco Rubio, the Secretary of State, said a foreign actor 0:18:26.720 --> 0:18:30.500 was behind the incident over the weekend at a British airbase. 0:18:30.980 --> 0:18:33.440 He called it a very serious situation. He did not 0:18:33.510 --> 0:18:36.070 provide details or evidence, which is fine at this point. 0:18:36.690 --> 0:18:40.970 But he was unequivocal, saying it was a foreign actor. 0:18:41.070 --> 0:18:43.530 He praised British officials for working closely with the U.S. 0:18:43.869 --> 0:18:46.290 He said that a lot of people are disturbed, quote, 0:18:46.810 --> 0:18:49.310 by the news that the suspects were released on bail, 0:18:49.670 --> 0:18:52.130 but indicating that the release did not minimize the severity 0:18:52.150 --> 0:18:53.170 of what happened at the base. 0:18:53.990 --> 0:18:55.730 Here's what he said. I have to be careful. 0:18:55.760 --> 0:18:57.480 There's some things I cannot say on the air for 0:18:57.500 --> 0:18:59.679 a lot of different reasons. Suffice it to say that 0:18:59.720 --> 0:19:02.720 what happened, what almost happened, what could have happened in 0:19:02.740 --> 0:19:06.100 the U.K. over the weekend is a very serious situation. 0:19:06.630 --> 0:19:12.020 It's one that clearly involves the hands of a foreign actor. Okay, 0:19:12.180 --> 0:19:14.500 then there's no way that these people should have been 0:19:14.540 --> 0:19:20.850 let out. And he did mention Iran like two sentences later. Well, yeah, 0:19:20.869 --> 0:19:25.450 that makes it all the more surprising and mystifying that 0:19:25.490 --> 0:19:30.470 the men were let go. Bomb detection robots searched three 0:19:30.510 --> 0:19:34.180 white vans. Officials said the men were suspected of violating 0:19:34.220 --> 0:19:37.160 the Explosives Act. 0:19:38.900 --> 0:19:41.320 Does this have anything to do with Great Britain's laws 0:19:41.380 --> 0:19:44.190 are just so different than ours in ways that I 0:19:44.210 --> 0:19:44.610 don't know? 0:19:45.790 --> 0:19:48.330 Well, even the New York Times is saying, and I'm 0:19:48.369 --> 0:19:52.879 not an expert on... on British law, but the New 0:19:52.890 --> 0:19:56.500 York Times points out that the Britain's head counterterrorism guy 0:19:56.580 --> 0:19:58.320 said in a brief statement that the men would remain 0:19:58.380 --> 0:20:01.919 under investigation would be subject to, quote, stringent conditions on 0:20:01.960 --> 0:20:05.600 their movement and contact with others. You can really accomplish 0:20:05.619 --> 0:20:08.139 that in jail, sir. But anyway, I like the way 0:20:08.160 --> 0:20:11.389 the New York Times put this. Their release raised new 0:20:11.430 --> 0:20:14.270 questions about what happened near the base, how the men 0:20:14.350 --> 0:20:16.710 managed to drive three vans so close to an area 0:20:16.750 --> 0:20:19.470 where American bombers are stationed, and whether the British Army's 0:20:19.550 --> 0:20:22.700 bomb disposal unit had failed to find any evidence after 0:20:22.760 --> 0:20:27.479 examining the vehicles for more than 24 hours. Britain's national 0:20:27.540 --> 0:20:32.160 security laws give the authorities widespread latitude to detain terror suspects, 0:20:32.480 --> 0:20:34.679 so the decision to grant the five-man bail suggests the 0:20:34.700 --> 0:20:36.460 police may not have found enough to link them to 0:20:36.510 --> 0:20:37.510 a specific act. 0:20:37.609 --> 0:20:40.720 Okay, so they can do what... what I was talking 0:20:40.760 --> 0:20:42.620 about yesterday about what we do in the United States, 0:20:42.660 --> 0:20:44.460 we come up with a reason to hold people. If 0:20:44.520 --> 0:20:47.380 we need to, we just hold them until we figure 0:20:47.400 --> 0:20:48.119 out what's going on. 0:20:48.900 --> 0:20:49.140 Yeah. 0:20:49.200 --> 0:20:51.649 Trump said some stuff, but Trump says all sorts of stuff. 0:20:51.990 --> 0:20:55.890 Um, and so I don't think it necessarily indicates anything substantial. 0:20:55.930 --> 0:20:58.490 He said they'd intended to do big damage to the 0:20:58.550 --> 0:20:58.890 air base. 0:20:59.130 --> 0:21:01.970 Well, do you have the sense that we did have 0:21:02.030 --> 0:21:05.780 our eye on them for a while? And it wasn't 0:21:05.920 --> 0:21:09.980 just the, uh, a cow lady up late at night, partying, 0:21:12.100 --> 0:21:14.620 seeing a couple of guys running around with masks on 0:21:14.810 --> 0:21:18.469 calling nine one, one. All I know is I. 0:21:18.430 --> 0:21:22.290 Want to party with that British farmer lady who gets 0:21:22.350 --> 0:21:23.670 it on and drives home at night. 0:21:24.170 --> 0:21:27.649 Um, uh, yeah, I, something's going on. 0:21:27.710 --> 0:21:30.930 Cause Rubio was unequivocal that they're the hands of a 0:21:30.950 --> 0:21:35.800 foreign regime. Two sentences later, he mentioned Iran and, On Monday, 0:21:35.950 --> 0:21:39.100 Trump was asked whether the men might be connected to Iran. 0:21:39.440 --> 0:21:42.159 He refused to elaborate, adding, quote, I know the answer. 0:21:42.180 --> 0:21:44.580 I can be very specific, but I'd rather not say it. 0:21:44.900 --> 0:21:47.970 He also expressed surprise at the decision to release the men. 0:21:48.230 --> 0:21:51.950 So Rubio saying it was a foreign actor means we 0:21:52.369 --> 0:21:54.609 we did have our eyes on them because there's no 0:21:54.650 --> 0:21:59.080 way you would know that if it unfolded as farmer 0:21:59.140 --> 0:22:03.959 ladies coming home from the bar. three milk cans to 0:22:03.980 --> 0:22:06.440 the wind, and sees a couple of guys running around 0:22:06.480 --> 0:22:09.600 in masks and calls 911, you wouldn't have the information 0:22:09.640 --> 0:22:11.440 that it was a foreign actor get to the U.S. 0:22:11.480 --> 0:22:13.500 Secretary of State within 18 hours. 0:22:14.680 --> 0:22:17.730 No, especially given the lack of evidence. A couple more lines, 0:22:17.770 --> 0:22:23.310 then we'll hear from Sally, the party in Milkmaid. According 0:22:23.330 --> 0:22:25.709
