Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe Getty, I'm strong and
Speaker 1: Jetty and now hey, I'm strong and Getty.
Speaker 2: Well accept Tomblain.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 2: So, at the early times we endorsed Karen Bass. I
Speaker 2: think right now in front that's a mistake and we
Speaker 2: admit that. So I thought it was very early important
Speaker 2: early on for me to come out, and I think
Speaker 2: we were one of the few to say competence matters.
Speaker 3: This is wild.
Speaker 1: I mean, this is like dreams coming true. Guy runs
Speaker 1: the LA Times saying it was a mistake to endorse
Speaker 1: Karen Bass.
Speaker 3: That's fantastic. Yeah, that's fantastic.
Speaker 1: And Wall Street Journal out with the story today. Los
Speaker 1: Angeles fire response gives new amutation ammunition to Mayor Karen
Speaker 1: Bass's arch rival. If you followed the race at all
Speaker 1: in LA and we did somewhat, Rick Caruso, the billionaire
Speaker 1: real estate developer, lost to Karen Bass after.
Speaker 3: Spending a tremendous amount of money.
Speaker 1: But now, according to Pollie a polling, is seen in
Speaker 1: a much better light and is leading the charge against her,
Speaker 1: and at least according to the Wall Street Journal, is
Speaker 1: going to People are talking about him running for governor
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty six, and this might be his moment.
Speaker 3: So keep your eye on that dude in California.
Speaker 4: Yeah, his his campaign for mayor was extremely reasonable. He's
Speaker 4: nobody's idea of an arch conservative. But Karen Bass has
Speaker 4: the unions as the public employee unions, the teachers unions, communists.
Speaker 1: We got to stop electing Marxists to various positions in
Speaker 1: big cities.
Speaker 3: Around the country as a guideline for which candidates to back.
Speaker 3: I think that's a good one to start with.
Speaker 4: Yeah, how about just no communists, no Marxists anyway. Having
Speaker 4: said that, the giant, cataclysmic, unbelievable, still continuing fires in
Speaker 4: the LA area are continuing to have effects, both political
Speaker 4: and non political. Interesting piece in the Wall Street Journal
Speaker 4: today about the armed home owners who are defying the
Speaker 4: rules of LA's burn zones. And I don't want to
Speaker 4: focus on the conflict between the rules and what they're doing,
Speaker 4: because according to the accounts that I've heard and read,
Speaker 4: there is a slightly uneasy but respectful relationship between the
Speaker 4: homeowners and the cops who are in charge of not
Speaker 4: letting anybody in For instance, there's a story of one guy.
Speaker 4: He's an attorney, I believe, well into.
Speaker 1: His fifties, but he is staying in his home and
Speaker 1: talking to the authorities, kind of an unofficial ambassador of
Speaker 1: the people who are staying put and not evacuating.
Speaker 3: They're guarding their homes from looters and scumbag.
Speaker 1: Sure, and and don't and aren't worried about fire apparently
Speaker 1: right not at this point, or or just not worried.
Speaker 4: But at one point he meets a friend at the
Speaker 4: yellow caution tape and she's unloading supplies for him and
Speaker 4: a couple of the other people, and one of the
Speaker 4: cops says, hey, can you guys hurry up. We just
Speaker 4: got in order not to allow any supplies through, So I.
Speaker 3: Appreciate why wouldn't you allow supplies through?
Speaker 4: Well, the authorities on high, unlike the cops on the street,
Speaker 4: are saying no, if if we allow these people to
Speaker 4: resupply themselves and and stay.
Speaker 3: There, they're going to stay there.
Speaker 1: And we want everybody for you right there my freaking house.
Speaker 1: If I need water to stay here to keep scumbags
Speaker 1: from stealing my stuff, I want water.
Speaker 3: That is unbelievable. If we resupply. These people will stay here.
Speaker 3: Yeah it's my god danged house.
Speaker 4: Well right, yeah, exactly, And I understand that the higher ups,
Speaker 4: the administrators, say, well, this complicates our efforts, et cetera,
Speaker 4: et cetera. If we completely clear a zone, then we
Speaker 4: know any human being in it is a looter and
Speaker 4: can deal with them accordingly.
Speaker 1: I get that, But well, sure, sure, seems like an
Speaker 1: awful lot of looting happens anyway, So I'm going to
Speaker 1: stay in my house if I don't think a fire's
Speaker 1: coming and protect my own dang stuff.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 4: One of the most important messages of the modern world
Speaker 4: has been don't do anything to protect yourself and your
Speaker 4: loved ones against predators or anything. Trust the authorities they
Speaker 4: will protect you, and of course they don't. But anyway,
Speaker 4: so a handful of these folks are hanging around. They're
Speaker 4: warding off looters. They are either getting supplies from outside
Speaker 4: or here's one gal who had prepared. She has a
Speaker 4: natural gas generator that supplies twin to kill a watts
Speaker 4: of power. Why that's plenty or a little or I
Speaker 4: don't know, uh enough for several refrigerators, making her one
Speaker 4: of the few neighbors with electricity. She has sixty gallons
Speaker 4: of drinking water in the basement, as well as a
Speaker 4: reverse osmosis water filter and hot.
Speaker 3: Water tanks for showering.
Speaker 4: She says, Yeah, my old neighbor was a real prepper
Speaker 4: and I learned from him. She also replaced her wood
Speaker 4: shingles on her roof with concrete ones. She says, I
Speaker 4: don't know if that's why my house survived, but it
Speaker 4: didn't hurt.
Speaker 5: Well.
Speaker 1: Would you just guess in the Los Angeles, California, if
Speaker 1: the authorities were going to go too far toward protecting
Speaker 1: your personal freedom and ability to take care of your
Speaker 1: own stuff, or go too far in front in terms
Speaker 1: of we do what we want, you do what we say.
Speaker 3: Which do you think it would probably be? Oh? See,
Speaker 3: honestly the latter, clearly.
Speaker 4: In fact, here's Brian Rice, president of the California Professionals
Speaker 4: Firefighters Union. Know, I'm sure as a fine fellow, but
Speaker 4: POLAE and fire officials say they're keeping residents from returning
Speaker 4: to burned neighborhoods because of such hazards as down power
Speaker 4: lines and precarious fire weaken trees, and Brian says, do
Speaker 4: not go back in there.
Speaker 1: Do not sneak in there. It's not worth losing your
Speaker 1: life over. Okay, you can warn me, that's fine. Then
Speaker 1: I do I make my own decision. Yeah, and I'm fine.
Speaker 1: I've always with all these deals. I've always been fine
Speaker 1: with the And then you don't have to come rescue me.
Speaker 1: I made that decision, so you know, you don't have
Speaker 1: to risk a firefighter or something like that to come
Speaker 1: get me. I made the decision, and I'm going in.
Speaker 1: It's my freaking house.
Speaker 4: Well right, yeah, I we a lot of people, the
Speaker 4: folks listening are perfectly comfortable with that relationship with the government. I,
Speaker 4: as a citizen, have made a decision. And I not
Speaker 4: only do I not resist the idea that I will
Speaker 4: feel the consequences of my decision.
Speaker 3: I embrace that sure, the whole fact. I cherish it.
Speaker 1: Like now I'm going to ride out the hurricane. I
Speaker 1: decide to write out the hurricane. You don't need to
Speaker 1: send people in to rescue me.
Speaker 4: It's my decision, right, So Ross Gerber, who's Palace Pacific
Speaker 4: Palisades resident? I'm sorry, I'm reading ahead and organizing, baba,
Speaker 4: But he's among those who've been sneaking past police to
Speaker 4: check on his house. Official edicts be damned. He says,
Speaker 4: I have no patience for any of them. After you
Speaker 4: survive this, you don't care what they say. But Tuesday
Speaker 4: he tried it again. He was thwarted. He was on
Speaker 4: the phone talking to a reporter. I'm trying to sneak
Speaker 4: in right now, and it's super hard. They are everywhere now,
Speaker 4: police ad entry points tight as hell. There are literally
Speaker 4: so many police, he said. North Korea is easier, but
Speaker 4: that to me is good though.
Speaker 3: I want that sort of police presence.
Speaker 1: If you assure me that, hey, we told you to evacuate,
Speaker 1: you evacuated, your house will not be looted, well, then
Speaker 1: I want it to be damned impossible to get in
Speaker 1: announce I don't know. They could probably explain it to me,
Speaker 1: but I don't understand why. It's not as simple as, okay,
Speaker 1: you got it all cordoned off. But if I show
Speaker 1: up with an ID that's obviously me with the address
Speaker 1: of down there, you let me.
Speaker 4: In, right And if I don't have that idea and
Speaker 4: I'm clearly light a night stick upside down. That was
Speaker 4: a parody that was humor for the purposes of entertainment.
Speaker 1: Go ahead and whack them, hit them, hit them more importantly,
Speaker 1: perhaps in defensive gouging.
Speaker 4: A great think piece in the Free Press today. But
Speaker 4: we've gone all of this argument enough. I think I'll
Speaker 4: just wing it. Here's the deal, and they're talking about
Speaker 4: lumber and water and a couple of other things.
Speaker 3: Rent is a little different situation.
Speaker 4: But Karen Bass who's a communist, and Gavin Newsom, who's
Speaker 4: a liar and half a communist, are making loud noises
Speaker 4: that we won't.
Speaker 6: Let any price gouging take place. We won't let people
Speaker 6: raise the prices more than a small percentage. All right,
Speaker 6: you ninnies, you have just made it inevitable that there
Speaker 6: will not be enough supplies.
Speaker 3: For instances bottled water. Why would there?
Speaker 1: They're gonna run out of bottled water at the convenience store,
Speaker 1: and they're not gonna do whatever they can to get
Speaker 1: more because they're not making any more than their normal profit.
Speaker 4: Well right, and so why would they incur any more
Speaker 4: than their normal normal costs. I mean, it would be
Speaker 4: lovely and it does happen that companies would say, well,
Speaker 4: you know, we're gonna lose a bunch of money, but
Speaker 4: we're gonna ship a bunch of bottled water or plywood,
Speaker 4: or generators or chainsaws or whatever to the trouble zone.
Speaker 4: Here's the deal. You let that price go up three
Speaker 4: hundred percent. The price has quadrupled.
Speaker 1: I'm Joe's chainsaws two states away. I am loading up
Speaker 1: my car, my truck, my wife's car with every chainsaw
Speaker 1: we got, and I am flooding that area with.
Speaker 4: Chainsaws, and so are a thousand other people. You know
Speaker 4: what happens nearly instantaneously. If you let the free market work,
Speaker 4: that price plunges.
Speaker 3: And you wouldn't have to be two states away.
Speaker 1: It could be loading up a truck with bottled water
Speaker 1: in Baker's field.
Speaker 3: If the price gets expensive in it well right.
Speaker 1: And you end up with one thousand times as much
Speaker 1: water there.
Speaker 3: There's a very temporary blip where the.
Speaker 1: Quote unquote gouging takes place, and then the market is
Speaker 1: flooded with goods because it is worth incurring the extra
Speaker 1: costs to get them there.
Speaker 3: More people do well.
Speaker 1: Almost immediately if you let the free market work. If
Speaker 1: you restrict that price, no more chainsaws will flow in,
Speaker 1: no more water, no more plywood.
Speaker 3: There will be terrible scarcity.
Speaker 1: I don't know I need a smart person who explain
Speaker 1: to me how it works for hotel rooms. Since you
Speaker 1: can't flood in more hotel rooms, do they get to
Speaker 1: gouge and now only the rich get to get a
Speaker 1: hotel room.
Speaker 4: I would tend to err in that direction, just because
Speaker 4: there's such scarcity anyway, The number of people you're helping
Speaker 4: and or hurting by instituting that sort of price control
Speaker 4: is so small. But you've introduced into society the idea
Speaker 4: that the government gets to do this. So I tend
Speaker 4: to be very free market on that. But you're right,
Speaker 4: it's very different. You can't flood a mark it with
Speaker 4: hotel rooms. Our good friends that simply save home security
Speaker 4: a well timed message. You're not in a disaster zone,
Speaker 4: but you're just in one of America's blue cities or
Speaker 4: states where crime is a rampant. You want to protect
Speaker 4: your stuff, you want to protect your loved ones. No
Speaker 4: better choice than simply safe.
Speaker 1: I can jump on my cameras right now in my home.
Speaker 1: There are people there. But I could jump on my
Speaker 1: cameras and watch the people in my home with the
Speaker 1: simply safe system that I set up. I had a
Speaker 1: system at my last rental. Then I moved to a
Speaker 1: bigger house, added some cameras and sensors. By going to
Speaker 1: the website, it was super easy. I set it up myself.
Speaker 1: That's one of the cool things. And right now, fifty
Speaker 1: percent off your new simply Safe system when you order
Speaker 1: and listen to this simply Safe Active Guard outdoor protection
Speaker 1: helps prevent break ins before they happen.
Speaker 4: AI powered cameras and live professionals monitor your property and
Speaker 4: they figure out if somebody is acting suspiciously and they
Speaker 4: can talk to them, tell them to get the all
Speaker 4: away or contact the police. No long term contracts or
Speaker 4: cancelation fees, and that unbelievable monitoring starts around a buck
Speaker 4: at day. It's so much better than the old system.
Speaker 4: Sixty day satisfaction guarantee or your money back. Go to
Speaker 4: simply safe dot com slash armstrong. Fifty percent off a
Speaker 4: new system with professional monitoring plan and your first month
Speaker 4: is free. That's simplysafe dot com slash armstrong.
Speaker 3: There's no safe like simply Safe.
Speaker 1: We are very pro cop around here in law enforcement
Speaker 1: and all that sort of stuff. I understand some of
Speaker 1: the arguments around this, you know, not letting people back
Speaker 1: in but we all know intuitively, and we certainly saw
Speaker 1: it through COVID, where it very quickly can turn from
Speaker 1: this is the best thing to do to because I
Speaker 1: said so, it's just a I have the power to
Speaker 1: do this, and I'm going to do it.
Speaker 3: Fang that just exists in us. It's human nature apparently.
Speaker 4: Oh all right, and or we need compliance or there's
Speaker 4: going to be chaos. Make damn sure the reason you're
Speaker 4: demanding compliance is a good one in a free society.
Speaker 4: And boy did California especially air way too far in
Speaker 4: the other direction during COVID.
Speaker 1: Marco Rubia said something interesting in his confirmation hearing already today.
Speaker 1: Maybe we'll play that he's going to be our next
Speaker 1: secretary of State if you have any comments on any
Speaker 1: of the stuff we said text line four one five
Speaker 1: two nine five k FTC.
Speaker 7: While America far too often continued to prioritize the global
Speaker 7: order above our core national interests, other nations continue to
Speaker 7: act the way countries always have. Awesome back door, I
Speaker 7: get bilingual protesters, is I think is an into cool?
Speaker 3: As you know, that's the first here, at least in
Speaker 3: recent times.
Speaker 1: All right, Marco Rubio, at this opening statement, I am
Speaker 1: so excited about him being Secretary of State. He is
Speaker 1: for a couple of reasons. I agree with his positions
Speaker 1: on most things. I like that he's so good with
Speaker 1: the media. He's going to be on all those talk
Speaker 1: shows for the next maybe four years and kill it
Speaker 1: with those.
Speaker 4: You have been great on pointing out how Republicans go
Speaker 4: on these shows and they get to hell beat out
Speaker 4: of them, and they don't fight back. They just sit
Speaker 4: there and take it. They don't defend their point of
Speaker 4: view aggressively. Rubio will not make that error.
Speaker 3: No, he's pretty good at that.
Speaker 1: He also said something pretty important a second ago, but
Speaker 1: let's hear a little bit of this.
Speaker 3: I don't know if we need the whole thing or up.
Speaker 7: Out of the triumphalism of the end of the co
Speaker 7: long Cold War emerged a bipartisan consensus, And this consensus
Speaker 7: was that we had reached the end of history, that
Speaker 7: all of the nations of the world would now become
Speaker 7: members of the democratic, Western led community, that a foreign
Speaker 7: policy that served the national interest could now be replaced
Speaker 7: by one that served the liberal world order, and that
Speaker 7: all mankind was now destined to abandon national sovereignty and
Speaker 7: national identity and would instead become one human family and
Speaker 7: citizens of the world. This wasn't just a fantasy, we
Speaker 7: now know, it was a dangerous delusion here in America
Speaker 7: and in many of the advanced economies across. An almost
Speaker 7: religious commitment to free and unfettered trade at the expense
Speaker 7: of our national economy trunk the middle class, left the
Speaker 7: working class in crisis, collapsed our industrial capacity, and has
Speaker 7: pushed critical supply chains into the hands of adversaries and
Speaker 7: of rivals. An irrational zeal for a maximum freedom of
Speaker 7: movement of people has resulted in a historic mass migration
Speaker 7: crisis here in America, but also around the world. It's
Speaker 7: one that threatens the stability of societies and of governments.
Speaker 7: Across the West, governments now censor and even prosecute domestic
Speaker 7: political opponents. Meanwhile, radical jihadists openly march in the streets
Speaker 7: and sadly drive vehicles into our people.
Speaker 3: While America far too.
Speaker 7: Often continued to prioritize the global order above our core
Speaker 7: national interests, other nations continue to act the way countries
Speaker 7: always have.
Speaker 3: That is pretty maga.
Speaker 4: I loved it, loved it. Yeah, A couple of good
Speaker 4: points there, Go.
Speaker 1: Ahead, He also said this, which gives you a pretty
Speaker 1: good inkling of where Trump is on the whole Ukraine thing.
Speaker 1: Marco Rubios calling for concessions and resolving the Ukraine Russia war,
Speaker 1: adding there's no way Russia takes all of Ukraine. But
Speaker 1: it's also unrealistic that Ukraine will push Russia back to
Speaker 1: where it began at the start of the conflict, which
Speaker 1: is an announcement that you know, we're not on board
Speaker 1: with Ukraine gets all the territory back, which is Zelensky
Speaker 1: has even said recently for the first time.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm much more interested in governance and policy than
Speaker 4: constantly being obsessed with politics.
Speaker 3: So I apologize for pointing this out. Marco.
Speaker 4: I think, after a stint as secretary of State, is
Speaker 4: going to be a formidable presidential prospect, and I hope
Speaker 4: he and j D don't spend the next four years
Speaker 4: knifing each other in the back.
Speaker 1: I was thinking, Laane in bed, What a dumb thing
Speaker 1: to think about Laine in bed today, But I was
Speaker 1: thinking Laine in bed. Have we ever had a secretary
Speaker 1: of state become President? Jefferson?
Speaker 3: But other than that, Carrie tried, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's a springboard of the presidency
Speaker 1: being Secretary of State.
Speaker 3: John Quincy Adams, I don't know. I don't know. It's
Speaker 3: it's a rarity. Clearly it was the point. It's not
Speaker 3: a trivia contest. Joe making a.
Speaker 1: Point, well made.
Speaker 4: Oh, speaking of yelling, another near congressional cat fight. You
Speaker 4: remember that whole bad built, bleached blonde, beach bad body
Speaker 4: whatever the little girl dad built butch body. Oh we
Speaker 4: got another one of those chafing up, didn't oh with
Speaker 4: racial overtones.
Speaker 3: Of baby girl.
Speaker 1: Oh no, stop ladies, ladies. So that whatever that is.
Speaker 1: Among other things on.
Speaker 3: The way, Oh boy, Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 1: A great montage of some of the highlights from yesterday's
Speaker 1: Pete hegseth hearing in just a moment that convinced me
Speaker 1: that he ought at least take a shot at this
Speaker 1: and see how it works out of him being Secretary
Speaker 1: of Defense. So the FDA is doing some stuff in
Speaker 1: their final days, you know, or in the final days
Speaker 1: for a lot of these people. They're doing some last
Speaker 1: minute things.
Speaker 3: This one.
Speaker 1: From now on, the nutrition labels not only will have
Speaker 1: the how much saturated fat and added sugars and stuff
Speaker 1: like that, which I appreciate. I don't know, but if
Speaker 1: it needs to be a government law, but I like
Speaker 1: knowing how much added sugar is in something. But it's
Speaker 1: also going to include what percent of your daily value
Speaker 1: of that it is to do the math for you.
Speaker 3: So I already have that, apparently not maybe that's not required.
Speaker 3: It's common.
Speaker 1: Okay, I don't know if I noticed that before, but AnyWho, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I look.
Speaker 4: At Sody him mostly number of products have that, but
Speaker 4: you know that one. You know, it's more meddling. But
Speaker 4: at least it's not like some of the other last
Speaker 4: minute Biden edicts that are fundamentally changing, you know, regulations
Speaker 4: and laws in ways that will take a long long
Speaker 4: time con tangle on their way out the doors.
Speaker 3: Look, you lost the election. Have some class just go right?
Speaker 3: That is annoying.
Speaker 1: So Pete hagg Zeth, combat veteran, awarded combat veteran Fox
Speaker 1: and Friends host hasn't run giant organizations, that's the knock
Speaker 1: on him. But he can hire people right below him
Speaker 1: that have run giant organizations.
Speaker 3: You see.
Speaker 4: And there's a long history of unconventional surprising picks being
Speaker 4: absolute heroes. Now some of them fail too, but the
Speaker 4: idea that.
Speaker 1: We must pick someone who's utterly conventional, says.
Speaker 3: Who, well, let me, I didn't. I didn't do this yet.
Speaker 1: The Wall Street Journal had an opinion piece on Hegzeth
Speaker 1: and they said, mate, mister, mister Heth made noises about
Speaker 1: restoring US military deterrence, and that's something. But it appears
Speaker 1: we're on track to have a Secretary of Defense whose
Speaker 1: real views are a mystery. Let's hope he rises to
Speaker 1: the occasion. The editorial board of the Wall Street Journal,
Speaker 1: their big knock was that Republicans or Democrats didn't really
Speaker 1: get to his worldview philosophy of deterring, you know, fight
Speaker 1: in battles on a you know, a big picture near
Speaker 1: as much as the drinking and crowsing and all that
Speaker 1: sort of stuff.
Speaker 4: Right right now, the second death doesn't like design foreign policy. No,
Speaker 4: but I suppose it would be helpful to know whether
Speaker 4: he's in sync with the rest of the administration.
Speaker 3: I guess.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Anyway, here's a montage of question and answers from yesterday
Speaker 1: that I thought was really good.
Speaker 8: Should we take it to believe that you believe that
Speaker 8: the two women on this committe who have served honorably
Speaker 8: and with distinction made our military less effective and less capable.
Speaker 9: I'm incredibly grateful for the two women who served our
Speaker 9: military in uniform and including in the Central Intelligence Agency.
Speaker 9: Contributions on the battlefield indispensable contribution. Senator, I would like
Speaker 9: to clarify when I'm talking about that issue, It's not
Speaker 9: about the capabilities of men and women. It's about standards.
Speaker 10: Are you saying the fifty percent of the DoD if
Speaker 10: they hold liberal views or leftist views, or our Democrats,
Speaker 10: are not welcome in the military.
Speaker 3: Are you saying that, Senator.
Speaker 9: I volunteered to deploy to Afghanistan under Democrat President Barack Obama.
Speaker 9: I also volunteered to guard the inauguration of Joe Biden,
Speaker 9: but was denied the opportunity to serve because I was
Speaker 9: identified as an extremist by my own unit for a
Speaker 9: Christian tattoo.
Speaker 5: Would you use our military to take over Mainland or.
Speaker 3: Oh Denmark? Senator?
Speaker 9: One of the things that President Trump is so good
Speaker 9: at is never strategically tipping his hand, and so I
Speaker 9: would never in this public forum give one way or
Speaker 9: another direct what orders the president mean in any context.
Speaker 5: You're quite sure that every general who serves should not
Speaker 5: go directly into the defense industry for ten years. You're
Speaker 5: not willing to make that same pledge.
Speaker 3: I'm not a general, Senator.
Speaker 10: Can you give me an experience or your actual experience
Speaker 10: of driving innovation in an organization.
Speaker 3: Give me an example of where you have done.
Speaker 9: My goodness center absolutely a concerned Veterans for America. We
Speaker 9: created the Fixing Healthcare Veterans Healthcare task Force, a bipartisan
Speaker 9: task force that never been done before, to create policy,
Speaker 9: to drive policy change on Capitol Hill that organizations fought
Speaker 9: ferociously against.
Speaker 8: Have you been personally involved in discussions of using the
Speaker 8: US military active duty inside the United States?
Speaker 3: Senatra, I'm fine.
Speaker 9: I'm glad we finally got to the topic of border
Speaker 9: security equaling national security because it's been abdicated and ignored.
Speaker 9: I have been involved in conversations relating to doing things
Speaker 9: this administration has not, which is secure the southern border.
Speaker 3: There's a lot of really good answers there.
Speaker 4: I would say absolutely now that slurring ninny you heard
Speaker 4: in the middle who was asking would you did.
Speaker 1: You obey an ordered to invade Green Are we thank
Speaker 1: you Denmark? Are you Denmark? We be willing to attack Denmark.
Speaker 1: That was Mazie Herono of Hawaii.
Speaker 4: And for the record, Matt and Honolulu wrote a very
Speaker 4: nice letter to us and all of you, apologizing on
Speaker 4: behalf of his state for Maizie Herono, who is clearly
Speaker 4: the stupidest member of either House of Commerce. All you
Speaker 4: can ask for is a man full apology. Matt has
Speaker 4: offered it. Hawaii, you are forgiven mostly, but get it
Speaker 4: right next election. Speaking of Pete hegseeth and the hearing,
Speaker 4: if you miss this, oh you know what, folks, you're
Speaker 4: gonna hear a.
Speaker 3: Term here that is harsh. And I apologize.
Speaker 4: I take no childish delight, but it's impossible to discuss
Speaker 4: without mentioning it.
Speaker 3: Okay, I don't know what this is. There was a.
Speaker 4: Prolonged discussion and our topic heading here is the idiotic
Speaker 4: wastes of time questions asked by Democrats. There was a
Speaker 4: long discussion as to the meaning of the word jag
Speaker 4: off with a G with a j an antiquated schoolyard
Speaker 4: insult from our a day as as young lads.
Speaker 1: Well get jay at the beginning, But the second consonant
Speaker 1: is that a G jag.
Speaker 4: Yes, jag off yes, indeed, so stay tuned. That first though,
Speaker 4: another one of the you know, it's not idiotic, it's
Speaker 4: at least fairly reasonable discussions in principle, does the dude
Speaker 4: have a drinking problem?
Speaker 1: My shop teacher in high school called called me mister Kanoffer.
Speaker 3: Your first name being Jack.
Speaker 4: Correct, that's childish and idiotic, even like not an educator.
Speaker 1: Well, we were fifteen year olds. The other kids thought
Speaker 1: it was funny. I don't know that I appreciate it,
Speaker 1: mister Kanoffer. If you could bring that over here.
Speaker 3: Wow, that's just that's orderline child abuse, Kattie. Another common
Speaker 3: last name for a Jack would be me Hoff.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yes, yes, a world famous. Certainly, Can we move
Speaker 4: on anyway?
Speaker 1: My shop teacher probably, Well, first of all, they don't
Speaker 1: have shop anymore because they don't want kids working with
Speaker 1: their hands.
Speaker 4: Every single kid needs a phony high school diploma, aim
Speaker 4: at getting them to a phony college to get a
Speaker 4: phony diploma there having learned nothing, and the trades are
Speaker 4: insulting in a stupid way to make a living. According
Speaker 4: to you know, much of America's certainly academiic.
Speaker 1: It's hard to imagine in a school today that a
Speaker 1: teacher would call a kid named Jack mister canoffer yes.
Speaker 3: Yes.
Speaker 4: On the other hand, here we go back to the
Speaker 4: topic of the day, which I've damned near forgotten.
Speaker 3: Oh that's right.
Speaker 4: So a couple of anonymous sources, in particular, one disgruntled
Speaker 4: former employee said that hegxeth was they could smell alcohol
Speaker 4: on his breath at work events once or twice, as
Speaker 4: if that's some sort of horror, especially if you're a
Speaker 4: CEO and you're raising money and going to events all
Speaker 4: the time, that sort of thing. Anyway, I thought Mark
Speaker 4: Wayne Mullen, the fabulous Senator from Oklahoma, was absolutely right
Speaker 4: on with his comments seventy six Michael.
Speaker 10: Senator Kane or I guess I better use the centaer
Speaker 10: for for genius bringing up the fact that what if
Speaker 10: you showed up drunk to your job? How many Senators
Speaker 10: have showed up drunk to vote at night?
Speaker 3: Have any of you.
Speaker 10: Guys asked them to step down and resign for their job?
Speaker 10: And don't tell me you haven't seen it, because I
Speaker 10: know you have.
Speaker 3: And then how many.
Speaker 10: Senators do you know have got a divorce before cheating
Speaker 10: on their wives? Did you ask them to step down?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 10: But it's for show, you guys, make sure you make
Speaker 10: a big show and point out the hypocrisy because a
Speaker 10: man's made a mistake and you want to sit there
Speaker 10: and say that he's not qualified.
Speaker 3: Give me a joke.
Speaker 10: It is so ridiculous that you guys hold yourself as
Speaker 10: this higher standard. Do you forget you got a big
Speaker 10: plank in your eye?
Speaker 1: You know? I mentioned earlier Mark Alperton, his newsletter today
Speaker 1: was talking about the blocking and tackling nuts and bolts.
Speaker 1: The Trump administration did a good job of partially like
Speaker 1: getting enough people in there that would laugh at Hexeth's jokes.
Speaker 3: Well you saw it right there, the people laughing.
Speaker 1: When he said have any of you shown up drunk
Speaker 1: to vote?
Speaker 3: Really?
Speaker 1: Lands? I mean it helps it Land, it doesn't made
Speaker 1: the line work. Yeah, yeah, a great love Mark Waine Mullen.
Speaker 1: A shout out to Mark Qwain and his family who
Speaker 1: are super nice. We met them and chatted for quite
Speaker 1: a while at the RNC. Anyway, give me the I
Speaker 1: don't want the sec depth to be stumbling through the hall.
Speaker 11: China has a tax Sha Shah who obviously but yeah,
Speaker 11: but then going super puritan like if he's ever had
Speaker 11: a drink, it's some sort of horror.
Speaker 3: It is hilarious.
Speaker 4: Well yeah, and if you thought that was dumb, because
Speaker 4: again it's it's worth at least inquiring if there's reasonable
Speaker 4: testimony that the guy's got a drinking problem. But he
Speaker 4: just sounds like a combat veteran who likes to have
Speaker 4: a drink now and again me so it's okay to
Speaker 4: ask the question, but to be labor it is silly.
Speaker 1: That was just in Washington, d C. Do you remember
Speaker 1: what the biggest statue in front of the Capitol is.
Speaker 3: Right across the street. It is of Ulysses S.
Speaker 1: Grant, who was quite a drinker and perhaps our best
Speaker 1: general in US history, And there's a giant statue of
Speaker 1: them from the Capitol. So I don't know that's a
Speaker 1: disqualifying trait. It's all for show.
Speaker 4: It's it's grand standing, it's it's virtue signaling. So one
Speaker 4: of the stranger moments for Pete Hegseth yesterday was when
Speaker 4: a senator asked the former fighting man and Fox News
Speaker 4: host to define the word jag off. The question from
Speaker 4: Senator Jack Reid, Democrat of Rhode Island and the ranking
Speaker 4: member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, was prompted by
Speaker 4: a comment that mister hags Hath made to his military platoon,
Speaker 4: as he wrote in his twenty twenty four books The
Speaker 4: War on Warriors, he made the comment during his Iraq
Speaker 4: deployment after hearing a presentation by a JAG officer, that
Speaker 4: is a military lawyer judge advocate general who they defend
Speaker 4: army soldiers in legal matters. But he and his team
Speaker 4: were briefed by the JAG officer on the proper protocols
Speaker 4: for when and how they could fire on an enemy
Speaker 4: with a rocket propelled grenade. Mister Hegseth disparaged one of
Speaker 4: the rules of engagement, saying it was going to get
Speaker 4: people killed, and during the hearing on Tuesday, mister Hegseth
Speaker 4: at first declined to define the slang term with a
Speaker 4: sly smile. I don't need to, sir, he said. The
Speaker 4: men and women watching understand. But when pressed, because you've
Speaker 4: got to press him on what did you mean by
Speaker 4: jag off, he said it would be a JAG officer
Speaker 4: who puts his or her own priorities in front of
Speaker 4: the warfighters, who puts their promotions and their medals in
Speaker 4: front of having the backs of those making the tough
Speaker 4: calls on the front line.
Speaker 3: It's the plan. We called them the plan.
Speaker 1: Words referring to a common term for a male masturbation
Speaker 1: is where the whole thing comes together.
Speaker 4: And jag office, sir jag office, sir jag off.
Speaker 3: Of its ears, mister Senator, sir.
Speaker 1: Now, if we could move on to the meaning of
Speaker 1: motor boating and scissor.
Speaker 3: Sisters a good lord.
Speaker 4: So yeah, good time, good time spent their Senator. It
Speaker 4: is a mark that they do try to keep things
Speaker 4: civil that nobody brought up Senator Blumenthal's stolen valor deal,
Speaker 4: fake falsely claiming to be a Vietnam combat veteran.
Speaker 1: Good the good Senator from Virginia, explain to me what
Speaker 1: a Cleveland steamer is.
Speaker 3: Okay, we're done here.
Speaker 1: Coming up another near cat fight in the halls of Congress.
Speaker 1: Great Scott, ladies, that's next, stay with us. Well, let's
Speaker 1: set this scene jack our theme congressional cat fights.
Speaker 3: Who could forget this classic.
Speaker 1: I'd like to know if any of the Democrats on
Speaker 1: this committee are employing Judge Mershawn's daughter, what.
Speaker 3: It has to do with Mary Garland? Do you do
Speaker 3: you know what we're here for? I think your fake
Speaker 3: eyelashes are messing up nothing.
Speaker 8: That is absolutely unacceptable.
Speaker 3: How dare you pers are your feelings her? Oh girl,
Speaker 3: baby girl? Oh really, don't even play baby girl.
Speaker 1: We are gonna we need more of that, not less.
Speaker 3: There is more of it.
Speaker 12: I'm just curious just to better understand your ruling. If
Speaker 12: someone on this committee then starts talking about somebody's bleach blonde,
Speaker 12: bad built, bush body, that would not be engaging in personalities, correct,
Speaker 12: what now.
Speaker 3: I make a motion to strike those I don't think
Speaker 3: that's all.
Speaker 12: Trying to find clarification on what QUIRE.
Speaker 3: Said. We're not gonna We're not gonna do this like
Speaker 3: you guys earlier. Literally just you just voted, voted.
Speaker 4: All right, So that was obviously MTG and Jasmine Crockett
Speaker 4: of Texas, who's involved also in the latest practice, Michael.
Speaker 13: We need civil rights to protect all people, especially trans Americans,
Speaker 13: who are under attack. Right now, I would like to
Speaker 13: yield the rest of my time to the gentle lady
Speaker 13: who is carrying the amendment.
Speaker 12: I don't even know how we we got there, because
Speaker 12: I tried to make it clear how many civil rights.
Speaker 12: It doesn't just boil down to one conversation, but I
Speaker 12: can see that somebody's campaign coffers really are struggling right now.
Speaker 12: So she gonna keep saying trans trans trans so that
Speaker 12: people will feel threatened and child listen, I won't I.
Speaker 3: Have no child. Not call me a child. I have
Speaker 3: no child. I won't even start out.
Speaker 12: I'm a gross of those females I broke have ceilings
Speaker 12: and hairmen.
Speaker 3: You will not do that. I am time, in my time.
Speaker 13: You want to take it Outside's chairman, Okay, order order,
Speaker 13: pint of order, point of order, order order.
Speaker 1: Order, chair recognizes Miss Crockett, point of order.
Speaker 3: Missus chairman, state your point.
Speaker 13: Is it a lot in the rules for a member
Speaker 13: to incite violence against another member? I mean she she
Speaker 13: wants to take it outside.
Speaker 3: With hey, I have the First Amendment right to.
Speaker 13: Yes, I'd like those words to be taken down. I
Speaker 13: am moving to have those words taken down. I believe
Speaker 13: it's against the rules.
Speaker 10: Going outside the violence violence conversation that isn't.
Speaker 3: The committee will suspend, the member will.
Speaker 10: State the state the words he wishes taken down.
Speaker 13: Where she said that we can take it outside, which
Speaker 13: is direct violation against the rules inciting violence against another member.
Speaker 1: Our pigs inviting violence. It's not inciting, it's inviting. Were
Speaker 1: some people going to try to claim that that's not
Speaker 1: a let's fight, that's that's always been a let's fight.
Speaker 3: You all take this outside, all right?
Speaker 4: But that was Jasmine Crockett in Nancy Mace, the the
Speaker 4: attractive fire brand first woman ever to graduate from the
Speaker 4: Citadel Military Academy, getting into it there. Crockett implying that
Speaker 4: Nancy Mace was just trying to protect girls sports and
Speaker 4: locker rooms and women's places and prisons and the rest
Speaker 4: of it from sick nutty men to raise campaign dollars.
Speaker 3: An interesting allegation. Indeed, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I say, you let them fight and then maybe they
Speaker 1: accidentally kiss.
Speaker 4: I mean, come on, gieminy gig, I mean pig peg pig,
Speaker 4: I said, pig.
Speaker 3: Okay, you want to step outside ely day. Four hours
Speaker 3: of this every day.
Speaker 1: If you don't get every segment in every hour, you
Speaker 1: can find it in podcast form. You just look for
Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getty on demand. That was pretty fiery. That's
Speaker 1: some good stuff there. Four hours. That's against my will.
Speaker 1: I'm being held helps and help Armstrong and Getty
