00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:05,640
Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio of the

2
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 1: George Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.

3
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:23,600
Speaker 2: Arm Strong and Getty and know he Armstrong and Yetty.

4
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 2: Good to hear it. I got a couple of sick

5
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 2: kids in my house. Always a dragon.

6
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 1: Oh man, there's so many bugs going around.

7
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, this one includes vomiting, which hasn't happened yet in

8
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 2: my home. Thank goodness. That's that's a that's a long night.

9
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 2: Whenever that happens.

10
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,520
Speaker 1: Stop at the wall, murder the tarja your choice. Buy

11
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 1: a bunch of bathroom sized trash cans, litter them around,

12
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 1: seat them around the house everywhere.

13
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 2: I got one kid that can make it to a

14
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 2: trash can when that happens, but one that can't. I've

15
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 2: never been in instant like as mentioned, this happened at

16
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 2: band practice. I'm sorry this is gross, but somebody at

17
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 2: the band practice the other night vomited all over their

18
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 2: drum and then the band teacher was running around. Oh

19
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 2: my god, oh my god. Oh but I've never took

20
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 2: so gross. I've never had the out of nowhere. Mine's

21
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 2: always like way lead up. It's almost like I get

22
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 2: an email you're gonna vomit in about a half an hour,

23
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 2: and I mean I got a tremendous lead up in

24
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:25,839
Speaker 2: time to deal it. You end up having to root

25
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,680
Speaker 2: for it. Yeah, he can, we get this over with place, right.

26
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 2: I've never had to just out of nowhere. Surprises me. Uh,

27
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 2: unless it was drinking. Apparently, I've been told that I

28
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 2: had had that happen a few times when I was drinking.

29
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 2: I'm not aware of this situation, but that's would have

30
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 2: been described to me all over the inside of my

31
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 2: friend's new car.

32
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 1: Yep, oh boy, oh boy, this is apropos nothing. Then

33
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: we can get onto the business of the day. But

34
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: JP in Central Illinois where I used to live, just

35
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: sent this this tweet from this woman I've never heard of.

36
00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: But this is the entire thing. Violence is not the answer.

37
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,279
Speaker 1: The answer is opens history book.

38
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 2: Uh oh.

39
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: Frantically starts flipping through the pages. Oh oh, oh, no, no, no, no,

40
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 1: uh oh.

41
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I get to the point.

42
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, violence has never solved anything except Nazism, communism,

43
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 1: England's oppression of the colonies, on and on and on

44
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 1: and on.

45
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 2: Ending slavery, all kinds of different things. Yeah, exactly, Yeah,

46
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:31,360
Speaker 2: so much is being made of the moment Trump is

47
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 2: having right now where he's never been higher in his

48
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 2: life than he is at age seventy eight, the highest

49
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 2: approval ratings, the highest people from all quarters coming to

50
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 2: try to get, you know, his approval or wanting his approval.

51
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 2: It's just stunning. It's quite stunning. And I'll read through

52
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 2: some of the analysis of this today in Mark Alpern's

53
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:56,920
Speaker 2: newsletter that I thought was really really interesting and you're

54
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 2: gonna like it if you're a Trump fan. But here's

55
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 2: an example of a different Trump, because you can picture

56
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 2: other ways he would have answered this. There was I

57
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 2: don't know if the questions in this or not. I'll

58
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 2: mention it just in case. It's about Republican senators who

59
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 2: don't vote for your cabinet picks. Are you going to

60
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 2: go after them? Are you going to try to you know,

61
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 2: boot them out of office? Here's Trump senators who.

62
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 3: Oppose your nominees, your cabinet nominee.

63
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 2: Should they be.

64
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 4: Promer If they are unreasonable, I'll give you a different

65
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 4: answer and answer that you'll be shocked to hear. If

66
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 4: they're unreasonable, if they're opposing somebody for political reasons or

67
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 4: stupid reasons, I would say, has nothing to do with me.

68
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 4: I would say they probably would be primary. But if

69
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 4: they're reasonable, fair and really disagree with something or somebody, I.

70
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 2: Could see that happening.

71
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 4: But I do believe that if they're unre I think

72
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 4: we have great people. I think we have a great

73
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 4: group of people.

74
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 2: That's not Donald Trump of the last nine years.

75
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: No, No, as long as you're reasonable, yeah, we can

76
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 1: talk about it.

77
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 2: That is just a new thing. And who convinced him

78
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 2: of this? Well, you could ask, how did it take

79
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 2: you this long to figure out this is a better

80
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 2: way of speaking about things? But who convinced of this?

81
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 2: Is it Susie Wilds as it is? Campaign manager now

82
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:26,799
Speaker 2: chief of staff? Who is the breshwous death? Maybe maybe both.

83
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 2: I'll read you a couple of these things I thought

84
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 2: were really really interesting. What's happening during this second Trump

85
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:39,599
Speaker 2: transition is notable and maybe historic, seminal and auguring for

86
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:43,039
Speaker 2: the future of this country. Going through some of the

87
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 2: examples here, Trump's underappreciated human intelligence has allowed him to

88
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 2: size up the macro situation in some of the individual

89
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 2: relationships and herd behavior of certain categories of Homo sapiens,

90
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 2: business leaders, heads of government, congressional big wigs, et cetera.

91
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 2: To figure out what they want and need from him.

92
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 2: He's always had that, but maybe he's just utilizing it

93
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 2: better now. While as many opponents in the press and

94
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,679
Speaker 2: the Democratic Party still amazingly don't get this, Trump's issue

95
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:16,039
Speaker 2: agenda has significant appeal beyond the say it with me

96
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 2: extreme magabase, and is backed by a broad center right

97
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 2: coalition in this country, border energy, forever, wars, taxes, deregulation, woke,

98
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 2: and much much more. That's probably the number one thing

99
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 2: the press doesn't get. He's on the right side of

100
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 2: like all the biggest issues in the country, right right.

101
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 1: And we looked at poll after poll of issues before

102
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 1: the election, and you know, in retrospect, it's like, how

103
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:39,480
Speaker 1: could Trump lose?

104
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 2: He talks about how Trump is just flat out the

105
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:48,679
Speaker 2: second greatest political athlete since Reagan, second only to Bill Clinton,

106
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 2: and is using those skills. Points out that Trump went

107
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,599
Speaker 2: five for six in nomination and generator and general election

108
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 2: contests YEP. Three nomination contests got the three nominations, three

109
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 2: presidents got two out of three, and almost that other one.

110
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 2: So that's pretty impressive record. Actually, and that's your only

111
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 2: political record. Trump is a great student of how to

112
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 2: obtain and use power in general and within the specific

113
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:17,600
Speaker 2: context of the presidency. Is his goal is to accomplish things,

114
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:21,359
Speaker 2: to accomplish the things he wants. It only makes sense

115
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 2: that if he is determined at some point, oh, I

116
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 2: will be more likely to be successful this way than

117
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 2: that way, that he changes his way of doing right.

118
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:36,159
Speaker 1: And even I have to remind myself why did I say?

119
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 1: Even I have to remind myself What Trump says can

120
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 1: make you insane at times, although he's been much more

121
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 1: measured as we're discussing. But if you look at the

122
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: record of things he actually did and accomplished and the

123
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 1: way he approached various problems, it's very solid.

124
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,599
Speaker 2: It is hard to fit this all together with the

125
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 2: guy who claimed, you know, the two thousand mules elections stolen,

126
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,480
Speaker 2: took it all the way to the matt you know,

127
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:07,839
Speaker 2: on all that stuff.

128
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, he is an odd and complex dude.

129
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 2: I'd say another point, but I'd.

130
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 1: Rather have that odd and complex dude in the seat

131
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 1: when China does something ugly than Joe Biden, not even close.

132
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 2: This is a good one. The cultural moment that we

133
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 2: are experiencing, with the decline of woke culture and the

134
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 2: rise of all the attitude's ideas, characters, themes, and memes

135
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 2: of the Trump moment is the supercharger on the ascent

136
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 2: of Trump's political power. No doubt, the dominant media is

137
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 2: weaker and more defanged than ever, making Trump's familiar litany

138
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 2: of charges against how they operate now seem to many

139
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 2: years less like sour grapes and more like righteous truth.

140
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 2: From the cover up of Biden's loss of acuity to

141
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 2: the ABC News settlement the other day, to the distruction

142
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 2: of their business model for newspapers and TV, to the

143
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 2: rise of alternative media, to the laws of public trust,

144
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 2: all has given Trump the whipand the ox Whipand if

145
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 2: you were listening to.

146
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 1: The weapon of Joyce on today's Armstrong and Getty Show,

147
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 1: not only that, but and I'm reminded, I keep going

148
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 1: back to the various polls we saw prior to the

149
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: election about the issue as opposed to the candidates, and

150
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 1: there was widespread perception among all sorts of people that

151
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: the law fair against Trump was political and unfair. And

152
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people who even you know,

153
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 1: still hung with the mainstream media, saw all the coverage

154
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:42,680
Speaker 1: of the coverage of all of those those cases, and

155
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 1: never heard of George Stephanopolis say, of course, all of

156
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:49,080
Speaker 1: this stuff is just going after Trump because for political reasons,

157
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 1: and I just I think that factored in along with

158
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 1: you know, the covering up for Biden's senility the rest

159
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 1: of it.

160
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 2: God, some of these are good. I won't read all

161
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 2: of them, and borrio with him, but just a couple

162
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 2: more of my favorites. Joe Biden's pardon of Hunter has

163
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 2: leveled much of the high ground Democrats thought they stood

164
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 2: on to try to diminish Trump regarding democracy, special treatment,

165
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 2: rules of the game for diligited principle. Absolutely, really really

166
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 2: took a lot of the power that they might have

167
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 2: had to be, you know, above Trump away.

168
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, the eleven year pardon is one of

169
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 1: the most transparently evil things ever done by a president

170
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 1: in it certainly in the realm of pardons.

171
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 2: I want to say that one for last because it's

172
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 2: one of my favorites.

173
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 1: You're not boring anybody, by the way, I'm enjoying this list.

174
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 2: I'd never heard this before. Trump is a practitioner. Oh,

175
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 2: this is the one I definitely wanted to get on

176
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:47,199
Speaker 2: because I'd never heard before. Trump is a very hard

177
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 2: worker when he needs to be. Unlike George W. Bush

178
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 2: and Barack Obama, who did in many instances what they

179
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 2: perceived to be just enough to get the task done

180
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 2: at hand, Trump leaves his leads, his shoulder on the

181
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 2: grindstone several extra beats to make sure if he wants

182
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 2: something done. I thought that was interesting. I've never heard

183
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:09,320
Speaker 2: that before. Trump is a practitioner of the dictum that

184
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,080
Speaker 2: if one political actor is constantly moving at eight hundred

185
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 2: miles per hour, then his adversaries cannot keep up with him.

186
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 2: In fact, they fall further and further behind. It just

187
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 2: goes hard and fast. Yeah. But this is the one

188
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 2: I absolutely wanted to do because I think it is

189
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 2: so true. And I was actually thinking about this in

190
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 2: my car the other day. You find it because I

191
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 2: got a long list.

192
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 1: Here, he's making a list, He's checking it twice. Gotta

193
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 1: tell us why Trump is so nice?

194
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 2: Oh, this one. I love this one. And I was

195
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 2: thinking about this when I was hearing more people talk,

196
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 2: just endless talk on MSNBC about whether Pete hegseeth is

197
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 2: going to get confirmed or not. Trump is not afraid

198
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 2: of failure, which means he can take the risks necessary

199
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:01,320
Speaker 2: for success. Another transitioning president would be crying over the

200
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 2: spilt milk of Matt Gates, whereas Trump moved on with

201
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 2: the same consideration one would experience and moved from meeting

202
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 2: the fourth tortilla chip to the fifth. Trump, as a

203
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 2: guy who had the number one TV show an America,

204
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 2: understands media better. He understands the culture and media better

205
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,560
Speaker 2: than any of these politicians who he knows this as crap,

206
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 2: these inside the Beltway Washington battles where somebody wins and

207
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 2: somebody loses. He knows, no real person pays attention to this.

208
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 2: You can talk all day long and cable news about

209
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 2: whether they'll get confirmed, whether it's a Supreme Court justice

210
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 2: or Cabinet nominee or whatever, and where they won't and

211
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:37,559
Speaker 2: who will win and who will lose, and then when

212
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 2: it ends, nobody freaking cares except for you DC pundits.

213
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 2: Trump knows that he's so much more right about this

214
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 2: than they are. You know how many real Looking back

215
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 2: to George W. Bush, he had some thing and I

216
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:53,839
Speaker 2: only know this because I'm in this business. He had

217
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 2: some famous Supreme Court nominee that he put out and

218
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 2: got shot down real fast. No real person thinks about

219
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 2: that ever, ever, ever, ever, and hasn't since that day.

220
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 2: And Trump understands that while DC plays the game of ooh,

221
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 2: his nominee might not, might not, might might not make

222
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 2: it through, he knows that just doesn't matter. He put

223
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:13,560
Speaker 2: up a different one. They do.

224
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 1: Right. It's high school gossip in a very real way.

225
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:20,680
Speaker 1: And add to those factors the fact that Elon Musk,

226
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,560
Speaker 1: who he's so close with right now, he is the

227
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:27,439
Speaker 1: king of let's try it. If it doesn't work, we'll

228
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 1: learn from it. Don't be afraid of failure. So I

229
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 1: think you were gonna see that spirit, yeah, which I

230
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 1: think is great because I tell you what if you

231
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 1: if you could pick one. The problem with the federal

232
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: government is that it's too bold and innovative and willing

233
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:48,680
Speaker 1: to change itself or the opposite, Which would you choose.

234
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 2: Right, they're having the first DOGE meeting today with various

235
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 2: congressional people. I saw one congress person I forget the name,

236
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 2: who went and told Mike Johnson, I don't want to

237
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 2: be on any committees but the DOE Committee. So I

238
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:06,079
Speaker 2: hope there's like a fever to be part of the

239
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:08,439
Speaker 2: fixing of this problem.

240
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 1: Is that actually going to be a committee, because I mean,

241
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,439
Speaker 1: DOGE is outside the government, but.

242
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:15,559
Speaker 2: Right they're going to be I don't know if it's

243
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 2: a I don't know if you call the committee or

244
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:19,440
Speaker 2: whatever they're going to be. They're going to be Congress

245
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 2: people involved in I think a committee, and then they

246
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 2: report to the DOGE people. The DOGE people will have

247
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:28,679
Speaker 2: no power to actually get anything done. It's just it's,

248
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 2: you know, it's it's basically people want to pay attention

249
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 2: to how things are spent and not spent and make

250
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 2: recommendations to DOGE.

251
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 1: Sure, it's an independent commission has a bully pulpit. That's great,

252
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 1: that's very American, right, and.

253
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 2: A bully put put as we talked about earlier. According

254
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 2: to The Washington Post, the bully pulpit in America through

255
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:48,839
Speaker 2: Elon Musk, He's got the loudest political voice in the

256
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 2: whole country and can reach the most people the most quickly.

257
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:55,319
Speaker 2: So I wouldn't say I'm optimistic, but I'm more optimistic

258
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:57,559
Speaker 2: than any other way to go about this. We've got

259
00:13:57,559 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 2: more on the way. Stay tuned.

260
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 5: The food company Post has announced it's launching a new

261
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 5: Oreo themed cereal, which features crunchy and chocolate he puffs

262
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,680
Speaker 5: with mini marshmallows. Oh cool, that sounds awesome, said dentists.

263
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 2: Ah, that sounded horrible. Oh hm, I made my teeth hurt.

264
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, just yeah, yeah. Don't like pump vitamins into candy

265
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 1: and feed it to kids and call it cereal.

266
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 2: A bowl of candy for breakfast. Wow. Wow.

267
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 1: At the opposite end of the spectrum of the very

268
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 1: adult drinking of guinness, apparently there is a worldwide shortage

269
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 1: of delicious Guinness.

270
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 2: I went through a Guinness face really enjoyed it. The

271
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 2: Black and Tan oh Man.

272
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, pumps up and down the UK are saying

273
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 1: the running lawn Guinness after a surgeon demand that caught

274
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 1: the beer's brewers off guard. Jack. Like everything, it has

275
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:06,119
Speaker 1: to do with an Internet trend or craze or sensation

276
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 1: or viral something or other.

277
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 2: A challenge called exactly it's.

278
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 1: Called splitting the g Splitting the g the social media

279
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 1: phenomenon which requires drinkers to down enough guinness in a

280
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 1: single gulf so that the beer sits halfway across the

281
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 1: g on the branded Guinness glass.

282
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 2: Gotcha in.

283
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 1: Evidently the sheep of the Internet are so numerous and

284
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 1: so enthused about whatever craze is put in front of them,

285
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 1: it's now caused a like a UK wide shortage of Guinness.

286
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 2: Do you like it with the nitrogen or without? Uh?

287
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 2: Either way?

288
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 1: Not a huge fan. There are other things I'd rather have.

289
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 2: It'll definitely make you fat if you drink much guiness.

290
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:46,479
Speaker 2: It's a lot of calories.

291
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 1: I don't need much help in that. But Begora, they've

292
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 1: got to brew up more guinness, he says in a

293
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 1: terrible Irish brogue, which brings me to this.

294
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 2: The Irish and Scots.

295
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 1: Are some of the best on earth of picking out

296
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 1: a fake accent. Science for some reason, in the Journal

297
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 1: of Evolutionary Human Sciences tested a bunch of people from Glasgow, Belfast, Dublin,

298
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 1: Northeast England, Central England, London, Essex, Bristol if they could

299
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 1: pick out who was faking their accent. And you can't fool.

300
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 2: Irishmen or scotsmen.

301
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 1: Interesting, probably because it's much more homogenous in London. You

302
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 1: got a dozen accents fifteen ethnicities whatever. But you go

303
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 1: to Scotland fake a Scottish accent, you're gonna be on

304
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 1: the receive an end of the chiley.

305
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 2: Or is that Ireland? I can't remember. I'm trying to

306
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 2: figure out evolutionary, evolution wise, why that would be.

307
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 1: There's got to be a reason. Yeah, I guess it'd be.

308
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 1: They'll they'll heave that big trunk they throw around in Scotland,

309
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 1: a big red haired man, a skirtle hitch over the

310
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 1: head with a big trunk.

311
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 2: I know, I like it. In time, people do an

312
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:06,919
Speaker 2: American accent. I love that Armstrong and getty. The council

313
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:07,920
Speaker 2: meeting got ugly.

314
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 6: They narrowly approved Mayor Johnson's twenty twenty five budget, which

315
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:15,639
Speaker 6: includes a controversial forty million dollars short term loan for

316
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 6: a city already swimming in debt, all part of a

317
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:23,680
Speaker 6: chaotic hearing last night got so heated. Mayor Johnson actually

318
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:24,920
Speaker 6: kicked out the public.

319
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 2: This meeting will spending releaseless.

320
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 5: Arms dependent.

321
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:39,439
Speaker 2: That's Chicago, Mayor. Let's go Brendon Johnson and people very

322
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 2: upset about how much money they're spending on illegals. The

323
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 2: report on Fox goes on One of.

324
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:49,359
Speaker 6: The main reasons residents are so upset is the Democratic

325
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 6: mayor's lack of transparency when it comes to using taxpayer

326
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 6: funds to take care of illegal immigrants. Under Mayor Johnson,

327
00:17:56,640 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 6: Chicago has already spent a whopping five hundred twenty seven

328
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 6: million taxpayer dollars on the tens of thousands of illegal

329
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:05,160
Speaker 6: immigrants living there.

330
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 2: Half a billion dollars they've spent on illegals so far.

331
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 2: It could really be argued.

332
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 1: Chicago, the city of Chicago has, checking the constitution, zero

333
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 1: constitutional responsibility for the border, So why would they spend

334
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:29,879
Speaker 1: any local money. Why wouldn't they loudly petition the federal government.

335
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:31,679
Speaker 1: You caused this, you fix this. I get that there

336
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 1: are people on the streets. You can't have children starving,

337
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 1: But why isn't everybody outraged by this.

338
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 2: Here's a reporter in Chicago, these.

339
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 3: Real Chicagoans, they made their voices heard. They made it

340
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:54,159
Speaker 3: clear they don't trust Brandy Johnson. Mayor Johnson with fifty cents, okay,

341
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 3: they know he's just going to spend that money on

342
00:18:56,680 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 3: migrants and violent teenagers. And Brandon Johnson says it himself.

343
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 2: To your question, I think at least initially it was

344
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 2: probably holy crap, we're a sanctuary city, and now we've

345
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,120
Speaker 2: got these people here. We got to get them off

346
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 2: the streets and put them somewhere or this is going

347
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:16,159
Speaker 2: to become a problem and everybody's going to know that

348
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 2: the whole sanctuary thing don't work. Right.

349
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was just reading about San Diego's decision to

350
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 1: become some sort of sanctuary city on steroids where there

351
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:29,440
Speaker 1: is no cooperation with Ice. You've got the most horrendous

352
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 1: character ever in your jail, and you've got to turn

353
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 1: them loose for whatever reason. You will just never inform ICE.

354
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 1: There will never be any voluntary transfer, no notification that

355
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:46,119
Speaker 1: somebody's going to get released. You know, you got to

356
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:47,919
Speaker 1: get a warrant or we're not going to tell you

357
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 1: whether this murder is in our jail.

358
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:51,680
Speaker 2: Like I said Friday when we covered this, or yesterday,

359
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:53,639
Speaker 2: or I always say, I don't understand how you make

360
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 2: this your cause. My cause in life, with my limited

361
00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 2: time and resources, is going to be making sure criminal

362
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 2: don't get deported who aren't supposed to be here in

363
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:06,119
Speaker 2: the first place. That's my cause, not foster kids, not

364
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 2: you know, pick all the great causes exists. This is

365
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 2: my one. Some guy who's a rapist who comes in

366
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,160
Speaker 2: the United States and rape somebody. They're illegal. I don't

367
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:17,120
Speaker 2: want them deported. That's what I'm gonna make my cause

368
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:21,200
Speaker 2: you people are weird, very weird. I would say, you're right.

369
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:24,639
Speaker 1: I mean, put a randomly assembled list of one hundred

370
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 1: different causes in front of people and they would choose

371
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 1: that one.

372
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:31,959
Speaker 2: That's very strange. Different topic. I just came across this.

373
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:38,120
Speaker 2: PolitiFact is some sort of political something or other. They

374
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 2: released their lie of the Year, their political lie of

375
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 2: the Year, a lie that marked a town and its

376
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:47,440
Speaker 2: residence in the name of campaign rage. It was absurd,

377
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 2: it was consequential. Our lie of the Year goes to

378
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 2: Donald Trump and JD. Vans for false claims that Haitian

379
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:57,159
Speaker 2: immigrants in Springfield were eating pet dogs and cats. I

380
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 2: don't know who this pundit is who responded, but they're right.

381
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 2: I would have gone with Joe Biden is perfectly fine

382
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 2: and fit to serve as president again is my lie

383
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:07,439
Speaker 2: of the year. But that's just me.

384
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,120
Speaker 1: I didn't want to blow the punchline or anything, but yeah,

385
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 1: political political, what is it?

386
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 2: Political PolitiFact?

387
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:20,200
Speaker 1: PolitiFact is a left wing media hack outfit.

388
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 2: They're honestly on both sides all the way around. There

389
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 2: are a lot of lies to compete with Lie of

390
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 2: the Year. I mean, you could discuss, but seriously, how

391
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 2: does it get much bigger than the current president is

392
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 2: okay to be president in another four years when you

393
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 2: know he's not holy crap.

394
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 1: When he's seen island dying. But I don't remember the

395
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 1: whole eating the pets thing, Michael, Do we have any

396
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 1: audio that Mighty eating.

397
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 2: The people that came in.

398
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:54,639
Speaker 4: They're eating the cats, they're eating, they're eating of the people.

399
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 2: That live there. So he said that in the second debate,

400
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 2: which was the first Kamala Harris debate, Yeah, which she

401
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 2: roundly trounced him, as everyone saw, and of course was

402
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 2: going to go on to victory at that point.

403
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:14,679
Speaker 1: Getting back to sweet home Chicago. I grew up right

404
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 1: outside the city. I love Chicago. Was just talking about

405
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 1: some talking to rather some fellow part time Chicagoans who

406
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 1: are telling stories of crime and how their kids don't

407
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:28,399
Speaker 1: want to go to their place anymore. And there was

408
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:31,919
Speaker 1: a terrible, terrible incident involving a friend of a friend

409
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 1: in which and I'll keep it vague because it was

410
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 1: very traumatic. But their daughter was hassled by Guy A

411
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 1: on the street corner. Guy B walks up, shoots Guy

412
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 1: A dead and keeps walking.

413
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:48,360
Speaker 2: Wow.

414
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:52,160
Speaker 1: And they were like, I didn't see nothing. I got

415
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 1: no part in this. We're just standing here. Really, hey,

416
00:22:56,280 --> 00:23:00,440
Speaker 1: guy with gun, I can't identify you. Goodbye.

417
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 2: I don't know what I would do in that circumstance.

418
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,440
Speaker 2: I think insanity, would you do? I think I might

419
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:06,120
Speaker 2: do the same thing.

420
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:12,959
Speaker 1: Oh yes, well, especially since he has a gun and

421
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 1: I don't. I'd be like, dude, you and me are

422
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 1: never going to meet again.

423
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:20,399
Speaker 2: See you later. Plus they helped me. I hate to

424
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:24,639
Speaker 2: go like wild West sort of you know, rules of

425
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 2: the game, but you helped me out, so good on you.

426
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 1: It was a neighborhood beef, by the way, as it

427
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:31,360
Speaker 1: turns out, But anyway.

428
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:35,200
Speaker 2: They had several beaves over the years.

429
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 1: Okay, folks, that was just an excuse for Jack to

430
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:44,119
Speaker 1: use the plural of beef, which he's again beavs.

431
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 2: Look it up. It is so this is so interesting.

432
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:53,880
Speaker 1: They did a study of people who carry guns, including

433
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 1: in Chicago. They found that nearly one third of urban

434
00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 1: residents have carried a concealed fire arm by the time

435
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 1: they each by the time they reach age forty. But

436
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:09,359
Speaker 1: there are yes, but there are very different patterns between

437
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:14,679
Speaker 1: those who began carrying as teenagers versus adults. The teens

438
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:19,399
Speaker 1: were carrying guns because they had a serious need to

439
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:22,680
Speaker 1: protect themselves from other teens with guns.

440
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 2: Well, can you imagine parenting in a neighborhood where you think, well,

441
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 2: I don't want you involved in this sort of stuff,

442
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:33,679
Speaker 2: but I think for your own safety, you need to

443
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:37,880
Speaker 2: carry a gun. You say to your sixteen year old Wow. Yeah.

444
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:39,439
Speaker 1: And this for what it is worth, this study has

445
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:41,199
Speaker 1: been going on for some like thirty years. Is it

446
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:45,359
Speaker 1: follows people into adulthood and that sort of thing. Participants

447
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:48,679
Speaker 1: from eighty of Chicago's three hundred and forty three different neighborhoods. Anyway,

448
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:53,160
Speaker 1: they say, among adolescents, we've found a strong association between

449
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 1: either witnessing a shooting or being shot or shot at

450
00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:01,359
Speaker 1: and beginning to carry soon after. The research shows that

451
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 1: teenagers witnessed or experienced gun violence were twice as likely

452
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:09,160
Speaker 1: to start carrying a gun themselves. Of course, however, once

453
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 1: those teens hit adulthood, large numbers of them stopped carrying guns.

454
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 1: They thought, I don't need it anymore. I've got a job,

455
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:19,680
Speaker 1: I've got a family, whatever, I'm not in that life anymore.

456
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 1: Whereas people who started as adult carriers started because of

457
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:28,119
Speaker 1: a generalized concern about crime and violence, they were not

458
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 1: victims of or witnesses to gun violence, no direct link

459
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 1: that they could find, a direct exposure, and they kept

460
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:36,919
Speaker 1: carrying and carrying and carrying.

461
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 2: That's interesting. So some of those young people who give

462
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:43,120
Speaker 2: up carrying a gun would say to some of those adults,

463
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 2: I think, what are you doing carrying a gun? You

464
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:47,920
Speaker 2: don't need a gun around here.

465
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 1: Right, Unless you're living a life where people engage in

466
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 1: gun play fairly routinely, you're not gonna need it.

467
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 2: Hm. That's interesting provoking. How different is that kid's childhood

468
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 2: than mine? Who needs to carry a gun?

469
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:12,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, no kidding, no kidding. I thought that was interesting.

470
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 1: Chicago so troubled, so desperately in need of law enforcement,

471
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:22,920
Speaker 1: better education. The teachers unions are standing in the way

472
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 1: of that. By the way, the school.

473
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:26,440
Speaker 2: Stats out of Chicago or what are the most amazing

474
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 2: to me, Even with all the shootings on, how many

475
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 2: of the schools you could shut down and there would

476
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 2: be no negligible it'd be negligible difference from the schools

477
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 2: being open other than it would save a lot of money.

478
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 2: So then at least maybe taxpayers would get back some

479
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 2: money to buy tutor for their kid because your kids

480
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 2: were learning literally nothing at school. That's amazing. Yeah, you

481
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 2: know what. Somebody remind me.

482
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 1: I want to bring this up again tomorrow at some

483
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 1: point during the show of the soft bigotry of low expectations.

484
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:58,360
Speaker 1: And there are some statistics that have come out recently

485
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 1: from medical schools, and another place is the punchline of

486
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 1: it is the response to black kids not achieving is

487
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 1: to give them the fruits of achievement, whether they've earned

488
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 1: them or not, in my opinion, and I'm right, because

489
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:23,440
Speaker 1: actually solving the problems would be uncomfortable and politically incorrect.

490
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 1: You would have to say things and do things that

491
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 1: make people feel bad. And so instead of doing that,

492
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:35,440
Speaker 1: you have bunches of folks graduating medical school, for instance,

493
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 1: who got no business being doctors. It's horrible and it

494
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 1: dooms and here's the part that matters. It dooms more

495
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 1: generations of young kids, particularly of color in urban areas,

496
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:51,639
Speaker 1: to crappy educations.

497
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 2: And no chance to actually earn.

498
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:54,119
Speaker 1: The good stuff in life.

499
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:59,680
Speaker 2: It's not kind. That's what hurts my heart is that

500
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:06,159
Speaker 2: in parents who are either not I don't know what

501
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:08,199
Speaker 2: the right word would be with it enough or just

502
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:10,720
Speaker 2: too busy working a couple of jobs or whatever. You're

503
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 2: assuming and you should be able to assume that your

504
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:15,800
Speaker 2: kid going to school is learning to read and write

505
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:17,160
Speaker 2: and be able to go out in the world when

506
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:19,920
Speaker 2: they graduate high school. Nothing wrong with you assuming that.

507
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 2: You should be able to assume that you said you're

508
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 2: kidding to grade school, junior high, and high school, and

509
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:26,040
Speaker 2: they're going to graduate. You should be able to assume

510
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 2: that they learned. But because you weren't paying attention, you

511
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:30,919
Speaker 2: don't know that they didn't learn any of that stuff.

512
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 2: There are schools in Chicago where they have zero percent

513
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 2: people that meet the proficiency in math and reading and writing. Again, nobody,

514
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:43,680
Speaker 2: nobody does. And those poor parents think they got they

515
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 2: made their kid go to school, they did the right things,

516
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 2: and their kids are gonna be doomed. I mean, it's

517
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 2: just awful.

518
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 1: And then when those parents say, hey, my kid has

519
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 1: learned nothing three years in a row. I want the

520
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 1: right to take him to a different school. Brandon Johnson

521
00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 1: and his teacher union buddies all across the country, Randy

522
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 1: Weingarten will say, no, frickin way, no way you'd take

523
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 1: that kid out of that miserable failure of a school.

524
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 2: We won't let you.

525
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:12,719
Speaker 1: And they're the progressives, They're the folks who are concerned

526
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 1: about young black kids.

527
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 2: What a crock of crap, right, it's just horrifying. I

528
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 2: wish you know that.

529
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 1: There are days I just I wish I could reach

530
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:25,120
Speaker 1: more people with that knowledge. I mean, because once you're

531
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 1: aware of it, it's inescapable. I mean, what would be

532
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 1: better for the kids. It's just there's no argument there.

533
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 1: But people persist in thinking, yeah, public schools are such

534
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 1: a gift to the poor kids and all.

535
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 2: Oh, I don't know how you sleep at night running

536
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 2: schools where nobody is learning anything and is going to

537
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:50,600
Speaker 2: graduate and then just be standing there looking at the world.

538
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 2: How am I supposed to make it? I don't know

539
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 2: how you sleep at night. Being part of continuing that,

540
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:59,240
Speaker 2: I know they're evil. They are evil, They're absolutely evil.

541
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 2: We will an a strong next state. The FBI Newark office.

542
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 7: Now, warning, don't try to shoot a drone out of

543
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 7: the sky. You may be hitting a helicopter, a plane,

544
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:13,120
Speaker 7: a legitimate drone.

545
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 2: It's a felony.

546
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 7: In addition, that debris could cause serious injury or kill

547
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 7: somebody on the.

548
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 2: Ground or Santa. It's December. Hello, somebody's gonna shoot Santa.

549
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 2: This guy shh.

550
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 1: So, Kirby, everybody knows that the bottom of Santa slays bulletproof.

551
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 2: John Kirby, probably the best spokesman the Biden administration has,

552
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 2: was out there yesterday and saying a lot of these

553
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 2: are commercial drones doing nothing illegal. And I know a

554
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 2: lot of them are, but what about all of them?

555
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 2: What about the ones that aren't, that's the question. And

556
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 2: they say, we still don't exactly know what it is,

557
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 2: but there's nothing to worry about. Okay. That drives me

558
00:30:54,480 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 2: nuts because those two sentences don't fit together and still

559
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 2: might be something illegal. He said. So here's a mayor

560
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 2: of a town in New Jersey responding to Kirby's press conference.

561
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 8: We had the briefing yesterday with the White House, FBI, DHS, FAA,

562
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:14,880
Speaker 8: and they said the same thing. I don't want to speculate,

563
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,520
Speaker 8: but someone is making a really bad, really bad decision

564
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 8: by not coming clean and say that these are our drones.

565
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 8: We're doing some sort of an operation. Nothing to see here.

566
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:29,720
Speaker 8: They are safe, that they're saying they're safe, but we

567
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:33,320
Speaker 8: see them on top of our reservoir, the schools, the grid.

568
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 8: And these are large drones. These are not small drones.

569
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:40,960
Speaker 8: These are probate car size, a small dining room table size,

570
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 8: flying at night with lights on.

571
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 2: So that's one of the best answers I've heard yet

572
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:50,440
Speaker 2: from this mayor saying somebody's making a bad decision. I'm

573
00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 2: not telling it. It's just kind of what Trump said yesterday.

574
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:57,440
Speaker 2: He said, the military knows what they are. We have

575
00:31:57,480 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 2: the ability to know what they are. He said, I

576
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 2: don't know why they're not saying anything.

577
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 1: Let me tweak the John Kirby exchange slightly. Nine one one.

578
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 1: I just got home. There's a man in my house.

579
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 1: Most of the people who come into your house are

580
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:13,840
Speaker 1: friends and neighbors.

581
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:16,960
Speaker 2: Or okay, I won't worry about it.

582
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 1: Then nine one one, Hey, I just got home and

583
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 1: there's a man in my house. Well, we don't know

584
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 1: who he is, but we're sure you're not at risk.

585
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:29,480
Speaker 2: What the hell.

586
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 1: Of course, we just found out that there's going to

587
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 1: be a classified briefing, Yes, of the Intelligence Committee.

588
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:40,320
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, Uh, who is a briefing somebody? But there's

589
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 2: so white to brief Obviously, the White House is briefing

590
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 2: a House Intelligence Committee today a little late. Yeah. I

591
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:56,680
Speaker 2: is it going to be innocuous? I don't think so.

592
00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 2: I think it's going to be significant, not not significant

593
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:01,320
Speaker 2: like it was a thread or anything like that. I

594
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 2: think we're gonna find out about some significant military program

595
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:09,960
Speaker 2: or technology or threat we're worried about or something. Yeah.

596
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:14,040
Speaker 1: Or test of our abilities, which I hope we're doing.

597
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, but well why wouldn't they tell us, No,

598
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 2: we have this drone capability. You know, you've seen what's

599
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 2: happening when you see what a ran did to Israel.

600
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:23,480
Speaker 2: We just were testing our ability to intercept these sorts

601
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:28,160
Speaker 2: of things. Well, there's Jack can there's joke man. It's

602
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:30,720
Speaker 2: kind of because the show, with the help of Katie

Speaker 2: a dad, they're on our radio. So let's hear their

605
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:39,280

Speaker 1: Oh Jack, the creep freaky horror.

Speaker 2: Show villain's thing.

608
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 1: He's swaying back and forth with a weird hypnotized look

609
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 1: on his face.

610
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:53,040
Speaker 2: Oh that was too creep. I'll see that in my nightmares.

611
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:55,320
Speaker 1: Katie's not gonna be able to sleep tonight.

612
00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:58,040
Speaker 2: They see here. It's your host for final thoughts, Joe Getty.

613
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:00,480
Speaker 1: Let's get a final thought from everyone on the crew

614
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 1: and to wrap things up for the day, Michae Langelow,

615
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 1: what's your final thought?

616
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:05,400
Speaker 7: I had my wife give me some Christmas parts, maybe

617
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 7: to pass out coworkers or something.

618
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:08,400
Speaker 1: But I opened up and read it and said, and

619
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:10,120
Speaker 1: the best feelings are those of the heart.

620
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:12,919
Speaker 2: And I thought, no, this is just too sappy.

621
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:17,360
Speaker 1: Sorry, Oh, Katie Green are esteemed to Newswoman. As a

622
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 1: final thought, Katie, I have decided to send out Christmas cards,

623
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:23,640
Speaker 1: and I gave myself too big of a task and

624
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:25,400
Speaker 1: I'm now regretting it, but I'm gonna do it anyway.

625
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:29,600
Speaker 1: So oh yeah, yeah, guilt guilt feelings. I've been saying

626
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:31,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do it next year for like twenty five years.

627
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:34,040
Speaker 1: Jack final thought, that's funny you'd say that. I figured

628
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:35,799
Speaker 1: you did do it. I figured you were that sort

629
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 1: of person.

630
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:39,920
Speaker 2: I just I admire other people that do every year,

631
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 2: and they send one every single year. They not only

632
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:44,719
Speaker 2: got their act together to get the family picture, but

633
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:46,359
Speaker 2: then they got it in the mail and got it

634
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:47,800
Speaker 2: to me. And I think, you know, I'd like to

635
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 2: be that kind of person. Apparently I know I wouldn't

636
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:52,080
Speaker 2: like to be that kind of person enough to actually

637
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:53,480
Speaker 2: do it, because I still have it.

638
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:56,600
Speaker 1: Well, I'm going to do it next year. Anyway, came

639
00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 1: across this, mentioned it earlier in the show. My final

640
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:01,760
Speaker 1: thought is daily cal he's consumed by Americans. In nineteen

641
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:04,359
Speaker 1: sixty one, it was twenty nine hundred. Oh, by the way,

642
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:07,400
Speaker 1: the recommended daily calorie intake for women's two thousand, for

643
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:09,920
Speaker 1: men twenty five hundred. But it was twenty nine hundred

644
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:12,520
Speaker 1: back in the day. It's now thirty seven hundred.

645
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:15,720
Speaker 2: The average calorie intake is thirty seven hundred.

646
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:20,279
Speaker 1: Where is the obesity coming from? I don't get it.

647
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:23,359
Speaker 2: That's amazing Armstrong in Getty wrapping up another grueling four

648
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:24,120
Speaker 2: hour workday.

649
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:26,920
Speaker 1: It may not be just that, that's part of it.

650
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:28,840
Speaker 1: So many people, thanks so a little time. Good Armstrong

651
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:31,439

00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:32,920

653
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:36,920
Speaker 2: I'm strong and Getty. It has to stop like the

654
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:37,960
Speaker 2: day before yesterday.

655
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:39,800
Speaker 1: Yep, absolutely, are you sure?

656
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 2: Oh? Dead sure. I've been thinking that we really all

657
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:45,759
Speaker 2: need a tremendous hug. Good the hell out of here.

658
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:48,040
Speaker 2: Don't you think it's a little hot? It's one hundred

659
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 2: on the crazy meter. Sure, are you shut?

660
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:51,920
Speaker 1: Yep? So let's go with it.

661
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:55,799
Speaker 2: Wow, they need pageant. They killed their own pageant by

662
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:57,879
Speaker 2: going woke. It takes a lot of balls to run

663
00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:01,120
Speaker 2: for Miss Universe as a guy that I know. Bye

664
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:03,400
Speaker 2: Bye Armstrong and Getty.
