1
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:15,160
Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

2
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:19,919
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe, Katty Armstrong and

3
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:33,599
Speaker 1: Jetty and he arms Yet live from the studio scene.

4
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 1: See you're a dimly let room where deep within the

5
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 1: bowels of the Armstrong and Getty Communications compound. And today

6
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:44,479
Speaker 1: we're under the two ledge of our general manager, Elon Musk,

7
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:50,919
Speaker 1: four star general. What does that mean? There's this story

8
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 1: going around.

9
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 2: It's a headline on a lot of your big publications

10
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 2: that Elon Musk is going to get a top secret

11
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 2: briefing on our attack plans when we go to war

12
00:00:58,560 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 2: with China.

13
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 1: But the Pentagon is saying what, No, he's not.

14
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 2: But it's still the giant headline. Who knows how much

15
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:08,679
Speaker 2: truth there is to it or how little.

16
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: So those of you watching the TV feed at home

17
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 1: are probably wondering why Joe and I are smeared with

18
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 1: blood today, and the reason is spring equinox. Joe and

19
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 1: I are both druids. That's actually how we met thirty

20
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:23,839
Speaker 1: years ago. We were at We were standing around a fire.

21
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:25,479
Speaker 1: We just slaughtered a lamb.

22
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 2: Yes, I was wearing goat pants, he was wearing goat pants,

23
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 2: thank you, gladys. Yes, thirty years ago we're around a

24
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 2: fire at midnight on the spring equinox, so it'd have

25
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 2: been thirty some years ago today. And then we're druids,

26
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 2: and then we get into their rituals and all that

27
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 2: sort of stuff. The sun is directly overhead and the equator.

28
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 1: At the spring equinox. I didn't realize that. And it's

29
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 1: the only time of the year that there is sun

30
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 1: on both the South Pole and the North Pole at

31
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 1: the same time, which is very handy if you're traveling

32
00:01:58,120 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: between those two locations.

33
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 2: I guess, Wow, this is all fairly interesting.

34
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: How have I gotten to this advanced age in life

35
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 1: and not known this? Well?

36
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 2: Did you know?

37
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: I didn't know this? Oh, it makes sense though. So

38
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,079
Speaker 1: June twenty first is the longest day of the year,

39
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 1: longest sunlight of the year. The day doesn't change, it's

40
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 1: still twenty four hours. But now we're tracking fine, yes,

41
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 1: and then you know December twenty first is the shortest

42
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: day of the year. But your spring and fall equinox

43
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 1: is the nighttime and daytime are exactly the same length,

44
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: which obviously that's delightful fascinating. Yes, but More importantly, it's

45
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 1: a number of other things depending on where you live.

46
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:42,080
Speaker 1: Koone Takani is where it is celebrated many places in

47
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:46,079
Speaker 1: the world. Meticulous spring cleaning to purge a home's negative energy. Boy,

48
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:50,639
Speaker 1: I was to do that, and then also jumping over

49
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: fire to symbolically cleanse the prior year's bad experiences, of

50
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 1: which I've had many. So maybe I'll make a fire

51
00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: for the weekend, jump over it and cleanse the past

52
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:01,079
Speaker 1: year bad experiences.

53
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:03,519
Speaker 2: If that's what it takes, fine, it's got to be

54
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 2: a fairly small fire. In my case, my hops are

55
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 2: not quite what they.

56
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 1: Used to be.

57
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 2: But I'd hate to singe my nether world as it were.

58
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: Fellow druids. I was telling my son yesterday. We were

59
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,519
Speaker 1: talking about though, because we had great weather where we are.

60
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 1: So sometimes you know, spring arrives and it feels like spring,

61
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: and sometimes it doesn't. Man, did it yesterday? I mean

62
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 1: it was just gorgeous here. It's like eighty degrees and sunny.

63
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 2: And it's far far more primal and powerful than Oh

64
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,239
Speaker 2: the weather is better, therefore I can do more fun

65
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 2: things outside.

66
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: No, it's very deep.

67
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 2: In your reptile brain, right, that's you delight in the

68
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 2: spring coming.

69
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 1: That's exactly what I was talking to my son about.

70
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 2: Of course, because he's a teenager, he'd say, I don't

71
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 2: feel anything.

72
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 1: But but it is. It's just like you said. It

73
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: is not just well it's a nice day so I

74
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 1: can go for a bike ride.

75
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 2: It's just oh my god, just so you feel like

76
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 2: the possibilities are endless with your life and you want

77
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 2: to you know, mate, and have offspring and started meet clearly, yes,

78
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 2: but more than usual, bright guy, it's always but good point. Yeah,

79
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 2: it's amazing, right right, Yeah, it's it's powerful. That's not

80
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 2: to get overly philosophical about this, but one of my

81
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,359
Speaker 2: firm beliefs about the modern world is that we have

82
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 2: abandoned our sense of rhythm.

83
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 1: For all sorts of things.

84
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 2: Everything is available all the time, twelve months a year,

85
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 2: twenty four hours a day, whether it's your beloved childhood,

86
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 2: Christmas TV specials or you know, communication or entertainment or whatever.

87
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 2: Night is not very different from the day other than

88
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 2: the lack of light out of doors.

89
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 1: Right, And if you're an endorsement, an avid endorsement is

90
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 1: so many younger people are nowadays, so there is really

91
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 1: no difference because you're not You're inside no matter what anyway.

92
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 1: So yeah, no, there's no difference between nine or day.

93
00:04:55,880 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: You're right, All the rhythms of humanity for of thousands

94
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: of years have kind of done away with in the

95
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: modern society.

96
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 2: Even more fundamentally, I think than some of the things

97
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 2: I mentioned is the question of inputs and quiet, interaction

98
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 2: and solitude, entertainment and quote unquote boredom, which I think

99
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 2: is incredibly important psychologically. The more the more they realize that.

100
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 1: I think I'll put an earbud in my ear today

101
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 1: and listen to a podcast about the importance of solitude.

102
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: That's a great idea. But what's from the old Bambi

103
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 1: movie that the rabbit is he's pounding his foot on

104
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: the ground and something about the twittering or the thumping

105
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: or whatever of the animals come springtime mating season. I

106
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,839
Speaker 1: mean that they're you know, mating season. Why would it

107
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 1: be something for animals or animals and not something for us.

108
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: So that's part of it is where we don't do

109
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 1: that as human beings. We don't tend to. I don't

110
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: think like more often have babies get together and have

111
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 1: babies in the springtime. But but we're designed to like, ah,

112
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: I know, I've got my plumage out. I don't know

113
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 1: about the rest of you.

114
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,159
Speaker 2: Oh it's and it's beautiful too. I was gonna say something.

115
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 2: I find myself wondering though, given our roughly nine months

116
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 2: just gestation period as almost apiens, whether we shouldn't like

117
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 2: feel the urge in what October?

118
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:23,840
Speaker 1: So the kid is born in nice weather or something

119
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: like that. That's funny you just mentioning October, and I

120
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 1: get this feeling of just honkering down, no optimisms up,

121
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 1: all the covers up, just just kind of right wild

122
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 1: and just trying to ride out the rest of the year,

123
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 1: maybe find some fentanyl. Just you're just hoston at that point.

124
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 1: Whereas it right like this time of year yesterday, it's

125
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,840
Speaker 1: just like, ah, come on that life is great. Let's

126
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 1: do something. I just find that interesting.

127
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 2: So just you know, it's not exactly a data set,

128
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 2: but I've got two September kids the ninth months, that's

129
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 2: easy enough to do the math, and a December kid.

130
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 2: So evidently in the Getty household winter time as well,

131
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 2: it's time for reindeer games. But anyway to use their

132
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 2: own I need.

133
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: To work on my What was that phrase, uh, haktua?

134
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 1: I think it was the phrase of no cleaning out,

135
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 1: no different phrase. No, that's not the phrase, bad phrase,

136
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 1: may I think that's it's interesting that baseball the opening

137
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 1: day so much coincides with the beginning of spring, and

138
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 1: then that the whole hope springs eternal baseball start of

139
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: the year. I mean, you know, the fact that they

140
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 1: start at the same time, that it's that feeling we've

141
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 1: all got already for springtime. And then we've got a

142
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:43,239
Speaker 1: sport that starts then too.

143
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 2: And you are just a font of philosophy today.

144
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 1: All right.

145
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 2: It occurs to me then the rhythm of baseball is,

146
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 2: you know, you just spring into action and the spring

147
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 2: and get ready and then in the fall, the late fall,

148
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 2: it is crunch time.

149
00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 1: It's time to win the championship.

150
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 2: Everything serious and decisions and you know, activities are done,

151
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 2: made and done that will determine whether you're successful or not,

152
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 2: much like preparing for the winter time. Well, I said, way,

153
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 2: baseball is so close to so many people's I don't know,

154
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 2: similar to the mating thing. You get out your bat

155
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 2: and balls here in the springtime. Oh yeah, all right,

156
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 2: you know what, Michael, Your segment went on thirty seconds

157
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 2: too long?

158
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 1: Did you put the bat and balls away in the fall?

159
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:32,679
Speaker 1: Time is over? Let's wait at next year. You're an idiot.

160
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 1: Let's start the show officially. I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe

161
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 1: Getty on this it is Friday, March twenty first year,

162
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, where I'm strong you getting we approve

163
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:43,679
Speaker 1: of this program. And again I was the star of

164
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:44,320
Speaker 1: winter Ball.

165
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 2: Clearly all right, let's begin officially now according to f

166
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 2: SEC rules of regulations, here we go at Mark.

167
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 1: How are you doing the job differently than Kamala did it? Well?

168
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 3: I don't have, you know, four shots of vodka before

169
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 3: every meeting. That's That's one way I think that Kamala

170
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:04,679
Speaker 3: really tried to bring her herself into the role. Is

171
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 3: is these word salads? And I think that I would

172
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,319
Speaker 3: need the help of a lot of alcohol to answer

173
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,559
Speaker 3: a question the way that Kamala Harris answered question.

174
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 2: Wow, that's just if you just heard the first part,

175
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 2: that's JD. Van's declaring Kamala Harris is a raving drunk.

176
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 2: He really kind of softened it in a second. He

177
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 2: realized he'd gone too far. And changed it a bit, Yes,

178
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 2: said there.

179
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,079
Speaker 1: At the end. Yeah. I while I laugh at that,

180
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 1: I continue to say, it's not good that we keep

181
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 1: going down this road. There's really no need to claim

182
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 1: that the other party's nominee for president was a drunk.

183
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 2: At this point, they said that about Grant, who was

184
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 2: one of the great heroes of the American history.

185
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 1: Well, he just at the country in a war.

186
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 2: They didn't like it much, Right, But if she is

187
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 2: a drunk, who're doing her a favor by not enabling

188
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 2: her anymore? Jack, Wow, I care about Kamala Harris the person.

189
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 1: So we do need to get into the headline.

190
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:19,079
Speaker 2: And this is it's the say on my Wall Street Journal,

191
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 2: one of my newspapers. It was the top headline. Yeah,

192
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 2: the top headline in the Wall Street Journal. App Musk

193
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:30,200
Speaker 2: set to receive top secret briefings on war plans with China. Likewise,

194
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 2: the New York Times, Wow, top story.

195
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 1: And then you've got the other big story that Germany

196
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 1: has decided to invest trillion plus dollars in their defense.

197
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:47,559
Speaker 1: And as we've been saying all week long, depending on

198
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 1: your point of view, Trump finally got Europe to wake

199
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 1: up to the fact that they need to be able

200
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 1: to defend themselves. Or look how desperate Europe is. We've

201
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 1: abandoned them. They can't count on the United States as

202
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 1: an ally, and out of desperate they're coming up with

203
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 1: their own defense.

204
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 2: I tell falls caused Germany to rearm and build itself

205
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 2: into a military powerhouse, and that can't possibly go wrong.

206
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:11,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, well we all look back on this and say, oh,

207
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 1: that's why we didn't want Germany to be able to rearm.

208
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 2: All right, we thought they were nice, Now they seemed nice. Yeah,

209
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,599
Speaker 2: we ought to play that Norm McDonald bit that he

210
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 2: did on Letterman about.

211
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,319
Speaker 1: See the country that worries me is Germany. I don't

212
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 1: know if you're a history buffer or not. But so

213
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 1: we got Katy's headlines on the way. We've got mail

214
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 1: bag and those two big stories, among other things to

215
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 1: update you on, and a lot on the way. So

216
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 1: clips off of the week too, come on. Clips of

217
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 1: the Week coming up text line four one, the Clipse

218
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 1: of the Week cow coming up next segment. And before

219
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:59,439
Speaker 1: we get to Katy's headlines, we've already mentioned that. And

220
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 1: this is a usual. The Wall Street Journal and New

221
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 1: York Times both have the same big headline Pentagon to

222
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 1: brief elon Musk on war plans with China. Why do

223
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 1: those two papers with different political viewpoints have the same

224
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 1: Who got that story into the Wall Street Journal and

225
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,079
Speaker 1: the New York Times? Why are they both kind of

226
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,680
Speaker 1: it feels to me like suggesting something nefarious is going

227
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 1: on here.

228
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:33,479
Speaker 2: Well, and it's according to two officials, two US officials

229
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:38,319
Speaker 2: who are obviously leaking, like a you know, a punctured tire.

230
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 2: We'll talk more about that later, but I find that interesting.

231
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 2: That's not an accident.

232
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 1: Somebody wanted that headline in those two publications. Yeah, yep.

233
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 2: I think their motivations are fairly clear. But we will

234
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,559
Speaker 2: discuss it in the coming moments. Stay tuned if you can.

235
00:12:57,840 --> 00:12:59,199
Speaker 2: Clips to the Week again. Next segment.

236
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:00,959
Speaker 1: Right now, let's figure out who's reporting what it's the

237
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,319
Speaker 1: lead story. It's Katie Green, Katie.

238
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 4: Hey, you guys, starting with ABC quote willefully insufficient. Federal

239
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:11,559
Speaker 4: judge accuses Justice Department of evading obligations to.

240
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 1: Comply with deportation flight request. Is this a potential huge deal? Yeah?

241
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,960
Speaker 2: I don't think it's going to be one, but it

242
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 2: could be.

243
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 1: I mean, if they nailed down the details in it

244
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 1: looks like the Trump administration absolutely ignored a court order.

245
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 1: That's a I don't know where you go from there. Yeah,

246
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 1: it's uh. Well.

247
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 2: The good news is Trump and his main lieutenants have

248
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 2: said we absolutely would not do that. Yeah, Yeah, which

249
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,440
Speaker 2: is good. Even if they did a little bit, We'll

250
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 2: just have to see the facts really matter in this one.

251
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, And you are right. There's a big difference between

252
00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 1: if the if they did accidentally on purpose, pushed it

253
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,839
Speaker 1: too far, the time got too close together, something like that,

254
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 1: and they're saying, but we wouldn't do that, versus if

255
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:11,599
Speaker 1: he's out and proud saying courts can't stop me.

256
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 2: I can do anything I want, all right, And the

257
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 2: difference between a judge in a hearing saying you guys

258
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 2: really need to blankety blank and then putting out the

259
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 2: written court order because the Trump administration is resting on

260
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 2: that distinction a little bit. Wow, okay, And I don't

261
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 2: know nearly enough to rule on that.

262
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 1: From Fox News. Husband of former Squad Rep.

263

265
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 2: claims about their great maral duty. And then profiting mightily

266
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 2: from it. Please a bunch of crooks, enjoy your.

Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1: Am I supposed to be afraid, very afraid that Elon

314
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,719
Speaker 1: Musk is getting the Chinese war plans and they've got

315
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 1: the pictures. I'm elected heed sunglasses and all the pictures

316
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 1: so scary. Have boiled down two key elements of the

317
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:38,439
Speaker 1: whole Trump defying judges, whole order story as it's being

318
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 1: portrayed in the mainstream media that we have talked about,

319
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 1: but I'm not sure everybody has heard. So we ought

320
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:47,919
Speaker 1: to get into that because this could turn into a

321
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,680
Speaker 1: big story. If the Democrats controlled the House, it'd be

322
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 1: impeachment talk right now, guaranteed. Yes. Wow. Interesting.

323
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 2: Plus the richest man in the world has taken over

324
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:04,119
Speaker 2: our military. The terrifying details coming up, or reasons to

325
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,399
Speaker 2: not be worried about it at all, stay with us.

326
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:08,199
Speaker 2: But first, let's take a fond look back at the

327
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,960
Speaker 2: week that was. It's the Friday tradition, cow clips of

328
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 2: the week. Hello strangers.

329
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 1: It's really come as quite a shock to me. The

330
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 1: whips of the week.

331
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:24,639
Speaker 4: Then is Leeland gang members arriving to his country overnight,

332
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 4: marching into prison.

333
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:29,120
Speaker 2: I don't care what the judges think, I don't care

334
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 2: the left things we're coming.

335
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 1: I think at a certain point you have to start

336
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:35,119
Speaker 1: looking at what do you do when you have a

337
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 1: rogue judge? You The guys are actually at war with Venezuela.

338
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 5: That nations you're not hearing me, and you're not understanding me.

339
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 5: Is the time of war, and then you'll know that

340
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 5: I'm with and you'll know that I'm writ The FBI

341
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 5: is investigating what it calls a targeted attack shots fired

342
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:57,680
Speaker 5: at this Tesla dealership in Oregon.

343
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 1: Tesla's spray painted Massachusetts. Tesla is a peaceful company. We've

344
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:07,879
Speaker 1: never done anything hawful. Please don't vandalize. Don't ever vandalize

345
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 1: Tesla vehicles. And so, what's the plan? If Putin doesn't

346
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 1: agree to a ceasefire? Bad news for this world. Ladimir

347
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:22,399
Speaker 1: Putin did not agree to the unconditional US backed thirty

348
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:25,679
Speaker 1: day ceasefire plan. It looks like more than three hundred

349
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 1: and fifty people were killed.

350
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 5: This according to the Palestinian health officials in Hamas.

351
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,640
Speaker 2: We cannot have a world with the Ayatolas with their

352
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 2: finger on the nuclear button.

353
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:38,879
Speaker 1: Not just the US. We're doing the world a favor.

354
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 1: It's a little.

355
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 3: Afternoon on a Friday, And don't you all have jobs?

356
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 1: Who are the people?

357
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 2: First?

358
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:50,400
Speaker 1: It was Elon Musk with the chainsaw.

359
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 2: Now President Trump taking a sledgehammer to the Department of Education.

360
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,359
Speaker 1: As a former real estate person, I will tell you.

361
00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 1: I ride through the streets of Washington, and that says

362
00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 1: to Department of Education. Department of Education.

363
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 3: SpaceX Crew ten climbing through the skies above a Falcon

364
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:08,920
Speaker 3: nine rocket.

365
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:11,120
Speaker 1: And splash down Crew nine back on Earth.

366
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 6: You know, we could have done this sooner, but Biden

367
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:17,639
Speaker 6: didn't want to because he was embarrassed.

368
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 1: By what happened.

369
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,680
Speaker 2: I am a firm believer that President Trump UH will

370
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 2: run and win again in twenty twenty eight.

371
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,680
Speaker 1: We'll say what the definition of term limit is. I'm

372
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:28,119
Speaker 1: a leader.

373
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:32,880
Speaker 6: I made my money all by myself. How dare your

374
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 6: government take my money from me? I don't want to

375
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 6: pay taxes this nation.

376
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:41,439
Speaker 1: Most of their ass I do happen, HI have money.

377
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 1: I'm studying. The unseen body in space is a racial exposure,

378
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 1: theo quird. Do we have jobs for that?

379
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:48,400
Speaker 6: Yes?

380
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:49,480
Speaker 1: Called starbucks?

381
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:58,160
Speaker 2: Oh wow, turbulent times Jack, Speaking of which.

382
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 1: So you pointed this out yesterday, But I don't think

383
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:04,439
Speaker 1: this gets mentioned enough. I hadn't heard it until you

384
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:08,640
Speaker 1: said it, and it doesn't. It doesn't get pointed out

385
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:14,639
Speaker 1: in this story much. So you don't know this. Judge

386
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 1: says the other day, Hey, you can't send those migrants

387
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 1: he rounded up back to Venezuela. Just yet, we got

388
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 1: to figure something out first, so don't do it, and

389
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:26,119
Speaker 1: the planes went anyway. Now, the timing of that is

390
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 1: all important, you know, did the judge make that announcement

391
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 1: before the plane's left? And all these sorts of things

392
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 1: need to be figured out. But the implication is in

393
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 1: the mainstream media is certainly willing to go with the

394
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 1: assumption that the Trump administration, the Trump White House just

395
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:48,680
Speaker 1: absolutely ignored a federal judge and did whatever they wanted

396
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 1: to do, which would be a legit constitutional crisis, correct,

397
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:59,400
Speaker 1: because then who fixes that? But anyway, as you pointed

398
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:05,440
Speaker 1: out yesterday, it should get mentioned. Every single time, more

399
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:11,680
Speaker 1: judges have stepped in and stopped Trump's doings than eight

400
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:14,639
Speaker 1: years of Obama, eight years of Bush, and four years

401
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:20,879
Speaker 1: of Biden combined. So I mean, it's an outlier of

402
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:24,680
Speaker 1: an outlier of how often this sort of thing happens,

403
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 1: where a judge steps in and tells the president, no,

404
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:31,200
Speaker 1: you can't do that. Right. So you got one side saying, well,

405
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 1: so obviously the judges are out of control. They all

406
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 1: just hate Trump, the other side saying, well, Trump does

407
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,880
Speaker 1: all kinds of crazy s that's why judges are having

408
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:43,919
Speaker 1: to step in more often. These other presidents didn't do

409
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 1: crazy unconstitutional s all the time, right argument, try and

410
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 1: nail down where that is. But to me, the constitutional

411
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 1: crist either way, it is a crisis. We've got that.

412
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:58,880
Speaker 1: Either presidents are going further and further down the road.

413
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:01,360
Speaker 1: This is absolutely true. But presidents are going further down

414
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 1: the road of seeing what they can get away with

415
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:09,360
Speaker 1: around the Constitution and intentionally baiting judges into stopping them

416
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:11,680
Speaker 1: so they can get credit for trying from their base

417
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 1: and blame the judiciary for being out of control. Both

418
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:21,520
Speaker 1: sides have done it, absolutely and sometimes judges who do

419
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 1: really hate one side or the other do step in.

420
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 1: It would seem I don't know how often that happens.

421
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 1: I mean, you do have the situation with that Ninth

422
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:32,720
Speaker 1: Circuit Court, and you know out on the West Coast

423
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 1: that gets overturned like what is it eighty percent of

424
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 1: the time. Clearly their politics are wacky or whatever that is.

425
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 1: So I mean, if you're an outlier like that, then

426
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 1: you get so. But this is a bit of a crisis.

427
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:48,360
Speaker 2: It is just to flesh that out a little bit.

428
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:52,160
Speaker 2: Here's the headline federal judge temporarily blocks Trump administration from

429
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 2: reclaiming billion dollar climate grants.

430
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 1: Those horrific, utterly criminal.

431
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 2: Graft, just stealing and handing out to your crony's taxpayer

432
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:07,440
Speaker 2: money grants from the Biden administration. The EPA is trying

433
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:09,920
Speaker 2: to get the money back, and good old Judge Tanya

434
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,880
Speaker 2: Chutkin of the U. S. District Court in the District

435
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:16,640
Speaker 2: of Columbia, her name should be familiar to you from

436
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:21,399
Speaker 2: one of the Trump Big Trump cases, said no.

437
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:22,680
Speaker 1: No, no, it's too vague.

438
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 2: Vague references to programmatic who waste, fraud and abuse, conflicts

439
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:31,160
Speaker 2: of interest, but not enough specific information about the investigations.

440
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:34,959
Speaker 2: This is insufficient. You can't claw the money back, not yet.

441
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 1: Anyway.

442
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:38,120
Speaker 2: It was kind of a weight let's wait and sort

443
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:40,719
Speaker 2: this out ruling. It wasn't a complete quashing of it.

444
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:44,720
Speaker 2: But so that's another setback from a judge. But the

445
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 2: numbers are amazing. In Bush, there were six George w

446
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:56,159
Speaker 2: six total injunctions by federal judges against something they were

447
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 2: trying to do. Half of them were issued by a

448
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 2: judge appointed by the president of the opposing party. Okay,

449
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 2: so it is fifty percent under Obama, it was a

450
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 2: total of twelve and fifty eight percent were by the

451
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:16,440
Speaker 2: other party appointed judges. Okay, Trump's first term, we went

452
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:21,200
Speaker 2: from twelve to sixty four, and fifty nine of those

453
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 2: were issued by a judge of the opposing party. That's

454
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 2: over ninety two percent of the injunctions. Then, when Biden

455
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 2: was in office, and I think there's a pretty good

456
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:34,880
Speaker 2: explanation for this, there were just fourteen total injunctions, all

457
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:40,199
Speaker 2: fourteen of them by Republican appointed judges. And then Trump's

458
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 2: what are we up to with Trump? I thought I

459
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 2: had that number, but it's following in a similar trend.

460
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 2: In fact, it's even hotter and heavier twelve nationwide. No,

461
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:54,480
Speaker 2: that's Obama anyway, the trend is continuing in the Trump administration.

462
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 2: Many many, many injunctions, and the vast, vast majority of

463
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:00,639
Speaker 2: them by judges appointed by Democrats.

464
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 1: It's just it's a really bad look now on this, sorry,

465
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:11,479
Speaker 1: on this most recent one, the one that's getting all

466
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 1: the attention with the you know, supposed gang members on

467
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 1: the plane being flown back home. That judge was appointed

468
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:23,760
Speaker 1: by Roberts. My correct about that, including Roberts had put

469
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:26,159
Speaker 1: this guy on the FISA Court, which you would have

470
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:30,200
Speaker 1: to assume that Chief Justice Roberts wouldn't choose some whack

471
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 1: job for the FISA Court. Man. Once maybe we're already

472
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:41,639
Speaker 1: we might already be there, but once we're to the

473
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:46,720
Speaker 1: point where we we perceive judges to be no different

474
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 1: than House members or senators, you just vote your party,

475
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 1: we're in a bad spot. I would agree. Uh.

476
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 2: The constitutional issue at stake, which we talked about at

477
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:58,640
Speaker 2: fair length yesterday I think I think it was yesterday,

478
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 2: is that you have a federal District Court judge who

479
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,359
Speaker 2: has a very narrow jurisdiction. It's a very small area

480
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 2: of land that they deal with federal law in that area.

481
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 2: And you can have that judge, who you knows, the

482
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 2: Eastern District of Maryland or whatever, halt the presidential administration,

483
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 2: the executive branch from doing something nationwide, and it's not

484
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 2: constrained in the way judges jurisdiction usually is with who's

485
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 2: got standing in the rest of it. They're just issuing

486
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 2: these injunctions. Willy Nilly and Ben Weingarten, who is an

487
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 2: editor for The Federalist, says there's a credible case to

488
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:37,240
Speaker 2: be made that any one of the around seven hundred

489
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:41,919
Speaker 2: District Court judges possesses more power than anyone Supreme Court justice,

490
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:48,120
Speaker 2: given their unilateral power to issue a universal injunction. I'm sorry,

491
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:50,879
Speaker 2: I'm stumbling over my words like a like a drunk,

492
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 2: like Kamala Harris. Anyway, we'll have to keep an eye

493
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:58,440
Speaker 2: on this. This topic will not go away. Well, god,

494
00:27:58,480 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 2: I'd say not.

495
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 1: It could ex blowed into one of the biggest political

496
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 1: topics ever depending on what facts get laid out.

497
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 2: So I thought we were going to dive into the

498
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:09,880
Speaker 2: Elon Musk thing, but we're out of time. We will

499
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 2: hit that at the top of our two But the

500
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:15,360
Speaker 2: headline story in Wall Street Journal and the New York Times,

501
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 2: which is notable, is that Elon Musk, the unelected elot,

502
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,360
Speaker 2: he's the richest man of the world, track is going

503
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 2: to receive a top secret briefing on the US war

504
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 2: plans for China. According to two US officials, the Pentagon says,

505
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 2: wait what, No, he's not. We'll try to bring you

506
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:36,880
Speaker 2: something close to the truth. Or who's saying what?

507
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 1: What is it? A constitutional christ? No? No, it's not. No.

508
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 1: What is the implication that he has become a quasi king?

509
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 2: Dictator, rich guy advisor thing. But no, they always leave

510
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 2: that vague and unspoken. Be afraid, be very afraid of

511
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 2: what exactly he's just elected, Like ninety nine percent of

512
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 2: the executive branch is an elect He's.

513
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 1: The richest man of the world. It's okay, Well he's

514
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 1: done well.

515
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 2: Yes, if I was advising Elon, and when you're the

516
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 2: world's richest men, you don't have anybody advise you. You

517
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 2: do whatever the hell you want.

518
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 1: Don't worry a fool in that case. You gotta have

519
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 1: a good advisors. Don't wear the dark maga hat and

520
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 1: the aviator sunglasses. I mean, I like the look. I

521
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 1: think it's very cool, but it just leans into the

522
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 1: left's perception of you some sort of scary oligarch and

523
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 1: to be fair, because fairness is my hallmark, Michael, isn't it? Yes?

524
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 1: It is? Yeah, I guess so.

525
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:40,040
Speaker 2: Is that if indeed this story is true, and it's

526
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 2: not clear that it is. Elon does have some substantial

527
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 2: conflicts of interest when it comes to China.

528
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 1: So you wanted Kamala Harris to be president? Okay? Oh Lord,

529
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 1: see where you are? Joe's a mailbag next stair. Utah

530
00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 1: University upset Texas State, so my rackets ruined. I thought

531
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 1: I was gonna win this year.

532
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 2: So sorry, I am bracketless. Here's your freedom loving quote

533
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 2: of the day, continuing our series from Theodore Roosevelt.

534
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:18,080
Speaker 1: I'm beginning to.

535
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 2: Understand as we go through these quotes how ROOSEVELTI, in

536
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 2: my thinking, is in a lot of ways. You've been

537
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:25,920
Speaker 2: hearing this from us for years and years. We've been

538
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 2: listening for years and years. Order without liberty and liberty

539
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 2: without order are equally destructive. We've been saying, as we

540
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 2: watched the Blue states of America crumble California and Oregon,

541
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:46,720
Speaker 2: Washington stay most notably, that order without compassion is brutality,

542
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 2: but compassion without order is chaos seems anyway, And in

543
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:55,719
Speaker 2: a similar vein obedience of the law is demanded, not asked,

544
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:59,719
Speaker 2: as a favor. Keep that in mind, Gavin you Tutts

545
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 2: mailbag drop us an o mailbag at armstrong e getdy

546
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:09,240
Speaker 2: dot com. Speaking of beautiful Washington State, Chuck from Vancouver writes, guys,

547
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 2: we need your help on getting the word out on

548
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 2: the planned attack on home schoolers states Illinois and Washington

549
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 2: to name a few. We actually talked about Illinois yesterday.

550
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 2: I think it might have been hour four. But Washington's

551
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 2: state too, notably, are passing laws to go after homeschoolers.

552
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 2: With public schools agendas geared more for critical race theory

553
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 2: and wokeness and students drastically failing, many parents are opting

554
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 2: for homeschooling. Now Democrats are attacking these homeschoolers with jail

555
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:37,720
Speaker 2: tim and fines if they don't meet their standards. Well,

556
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:40,960
Speaker 2: we've got convoluted and to take hours and hours and

557
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 2: hours of compliance in mores.

558
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:45,280
Speaker 1: I'm doing a version of homeschooling, and I'm paying a

559
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 1: guy a lot of money for a couple of hours

560
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:53,520
Speaker 1: of just paperwork per week to meet the requirements. That's

561
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:55,960
Speaker 1: never what they're trying to do. I would never be

562
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 1: able to get it done on my own.

563
00:31:57,520 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 2: The teachers' unions are trying to make it so painful

564
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 2: and humbersome to homeschool in any setting, in any format,

565
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 2: that you can't do it anymore. It is a brutal

566
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 2: and shameless attack on liberty. Moving along, Dirk's a German

567
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 2: with a comment on Chuck Schumer's statement the other.

568
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:18,320
Speaker 6: Day, Michael, do we have that handy I made my

569
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:21,760
Speaker 6: money all by myself. How dare your government take my

570
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 6: money from me? I don't want to pay taxes?

571
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, the government deserves all of your money. They

572
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:31,480
Speaker 2: may let you keep a little in Chuck Schumer's world.

573
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:34,120
Speaker 2: It's tough not to say naughty words on the air

574
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 2: in response to that. But when Chuck Schumer alluded to

575
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:39,320
Speaker 2: that money is the governments, not taxpayers, it made me

576
00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:41,920
Speaker 2: think it's not just that the government takes our money,

577
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 2: but what they do or don't do with it. We

578
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 2: pay more for student to educate quote unquote our students

579
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:48,280
Speaker 2: than any nation, but score at the bottom of math

580
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 2: and reading. In California, we pay the highest gas taxes,

581
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 2: Dirk writes, but our roads are like Albania's. We paid

582
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 2: loads of local taxes, feeds, fees, fines, and levies get

583
00:32:58,320 --> 00:32:59,560
Speaker 2: their hobos living.

584
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:01,120
Speaker 1: On the sidewalk outside my office.

585
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:03,680
Speaker 2: At least in Europe, the government fleeces the tax bearers

586
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 2: but gives them something of value in return.

587
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 1: Amen for that to that, Dirk. That Chuck Schumer clip

588
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:14,480
Speaker 1: is so freaking maddening. Oh yeah, oh it is contempt.

589
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, for anybody who suggests, you know, I earned that

590
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:19,720
Speaker 2: money I'm willing to contribute.

591
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:21,880
Speaker 1: Why are you taking half of my money?

592
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 2: Especially people who are in sales or something like that

593
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 2: that are gonna have one or two good years, maybe

594
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:30,480
Speaker 2: home run years, then going back to just making ok living. Nope,

595
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 2: those two great years where they excelled. No, the government's

596
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 2: going to take half of that or damn near it.

597
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:38,800
Speaker 6: I made my money all by myself. How dare your

598
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:40,880
Speaker 6: government take my money from me? I don't want to

599
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 6: pay taxes from.

600
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:45,680
Speaker 2: A guy who made his living through graft his entire life.

601
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 1: And if you don't agree with me, I'm gonna act

602
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 1: like you talk like a cartoon.

603
00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:55,120
Speaker 2: Bear JKA, fair fair point JK and granted Bay California rights.

604
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 2: Read the district court judges, we must be wary of

605
00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:01,080
Speaker 2: asking that they be stifled completely. While their district court

606
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:04,040
Speaker 2: judges stop issues they object to, like immigration, doge other

607
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 2: Maggie issues, are district court judges stop issues we object to,

608
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 2: like the curtailment of Second Amendment rights. In other words,

609
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 2: the dcjs may be a pain in the ass, but

610
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:14,799
Speaker 2: the knife cuts both ways. There needs to be a

611
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:17,960
Speaker 2: better definition of their jurisdiction and ability to block issues

612
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 2: nationwide from their narrow perch. That's exactly correct. Yeah, JK.

613
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:24,879
Speaker 2: Friend of Armstrong and Getty since the beginning. Keep it real,

614
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:27,880
Speaker 2: Jance ms Green a fantastic addition to the team. Agreed,

615
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:33,120
Speaker 2: Do we have time for this frequent correspondent JT and Livermore.

616
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:35,480
Speaker 2: During Tuesday show, you brought up the attempt to classify

617
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:38,719
Speaker 2: Trump derangement syndrome as a recognized mental disorder. I don't

618
00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:40,279
Speaker 2: know if it's a mental disorder or not, but it

619
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 2: seems to have jumped the shark over previous opposition efforts

620
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:45,680
Speaker 2: by the Dems. Unlike their crazy stunts in the past,

621
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:49,239
Speaker 2: Dems suffer FROMTDS. Have gone so far that they are
