Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe, Ketty.
Speaker 2: Arm Strong and Gatti and He Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 3: A British inventor says his tricked out trash can that
Speaker 3: broke the Guinness World Record for the fastest WHEELI bin
Speaker 3: can now reach a speed of sixty six miles per hour.
Speaker 2: And it's convenient.
Speaker 3: Because if he hits so much as a pebble on
Speaker 3: the highway, they can just close the lid and he's.
Speaker 2: Ready for burial.
Speaker 1: Trash bin that goes sixty miles an hour set a record.
Speaker 2: There, you go.
Speaker 1: Different people have different hobbies. You decide, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do. Good for you. You're probably happier than me.
Speaker 1: You've found a goal in life. You've accomplished it. I've
Speaker 1: accomplished none of my goals.
Speaker 4: Do you figure you came to it through a passion
Speaker 4: for trash bins, passion for a speed, passion for wheelies?
Speaker 2: Did he say wheelie speaking.
Speaker 1: Of trash You know what? I realized the other day
Speaker 1: this is obvious, but it never occurred to me when
Speaker 1: I take out the trash which I now have my
Speaker 1: son doing at a a.
Speaker 2: Chore.
Speaker 1: But when I take out the trash, I think, God,
Speaker 1: it seems like, I mean, this is the way. It
Speaker 1: seems like I'm doing this every other day as opposed
Speaker 1: to once a week.
Speaker 2: That is trash day.
Speaker 1: But it never occurred to me before you take the
Speaker 1: trash out one day, bring it in the next day.
Speaker 1: That's two days out of seven. It's twice as often
Speaker 1: as I'm dealing with trash as I ever. I've always
Speaker 1: thought of trash day being why is one day out
Speaker 1: of the week seem like it's so often, But it's
Speaker 1: actually twice as much as I thought, So that maybe
Speaker 1: that explains it. As they gotta wheel it out, Are
Speaker 1: you wheel it out to the curb neighborhood or yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: what you're talking about?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you gotta take it out there?
Speaker 1: And then three different trucks come by for some reason,
Speaker 1: somebody's getting paid.
Speaker 2: Any who.
Speaker 1: We have some breaking news kind of Attorney General Pam
Speaker 1: Bondi has announced that the lady that led the disruption
Speaker 1: of those church services Sunday morning in Minneapolis has been arrested.
Speaker 1: Good civil rights violation, So yeah, I agree. Good, So
Speaker 1: let's get it on, let's discuss that.
Speaker 4: We start letting people bully their way into church services
Speaker 4: to get publicity.
Speaker 2: They never end.
Speaker 4: Oh and the ugliness, and people will righteously and appropriately decide, no,
Speaker 4: we're not going to let that happen anymore.
Speaker 2: And then it's oh so ugly.
Speaker 1: And if they could arrest Don Lemon as a national
Speaker 1: disgrace of some sort, I know, is that a crime?
Speaker 4: But oh yeah, we actually have a heavily Don Lemon
Speaker 4: seasoned segment coming up at some point today in which
Speaker 4: we are going to try him and convict him of
Speaker 4: being a disease and bury him. In other words, never
Speaker 4: bring him up again, because there's part of me that
Speaker 4: Hay Stephen mentioned.
Speaker 1: Is his publicity. How disgusting, sick, no moral name. So
Speaker 1: I don't know if you know any of this about polling,
Speaker 1: but the New York Times Siena poll is a big deal.
Speaker 1: They spend tons of money on this. They only do
Speaker 1: it a couple of times years. They put out lots
Speaker 1: of polls, you know, weekly polls, like lots of news,
Speaker 1: but they do this really big one a couple of
Speaker 1: times a year and usually gets a lot of attention
Speaker 1: because people have the feeling that over years, it has
Speaker 1: proven to be methodically.
Speaker 2: Accurate. They make good effort there.
Speaker 1: So AnyWho, the headline being that few voters say trump
Speaker 1: second term has made the country better. I like to
Speaker 1: put this in larger context, like I said last hour,
Speaker 1: is that the same people felt the same way about
Speaker 1: Biden and now they feel that way about Trump. And
Speaker 1: in Europe they feel that way about their leaders and
Speaker 1: they keep going back and forth Party party. For whatever reason,
Speaker 1: Western civilization's just not happy with their governments, rightly or wrongly.
Speaker 1: But for all people, on the question of from a
Speaker 1: year ago, because yesterday was the one year anniversary of
Speaker 1: Trump being the president of the United States of America,
Speaker 1: is your is the country better off, about the same.
Speaker 2: Or worse off? Do you want to answer how you'd answer?
Speaker 1: Oh gosh, I was waiting to hear your wisdom. I
Speaker 1: wasn't really thinking. Would you like to hear what other
Speaker 1: people think before you give your answer? Well, that makes
Speaker 1: me sound like a conformist. It's not exactly your vibe.
Speaker 1: The Mike lung a anger Jack here, so enjoy the fireworks.
Speaker 1: Oh boy, the answer is going to pick some knits.
Speaker 1: The answer is both.
Speaker 2: That's that's not an option in some regards and worse
Speaker 2: than others.
Speaker 1: So would you just tell spin on the poster and
Speaker 1: kick him in the shin and walk off, or just
Speaker 1: refused to participate or what They didn't really use a
Speaker 1: two hand shove right in the middle of the chest.
Speaker 2: They didn't give you that option.
Speaker 1: All right, You don't get to write a say it's
Speaker 1: either worse half better, offer about the same. If you're
Speaker 1: going to answer the question, that's a poll for dumb people.
Speaker 1: I want to I want to, Okay, Well, if I'm
Speaker 1: given those three choices, I I I would go better.
Speaker 4: Off because I fear ago today. I guess getting unquestionable.
Speaker 1: I think closing the border and getting rid of all
Speaker 1: that DEI stuff and h taking on a lot of
Speaker 1: the craziest stuff that came out of you know, that
Speaker 1: whole twenty twenty to twenty twenty three period was so
Speaker 1: huge for the country. I'd go better off versus I mean, uh,
Speaker 1: the tariff stuff nutty. Lots of things are nutty.
Speaker 2: Sure, YEA.
Speaker 4: One must take a moment to remind oneself that we
Speaker 4: were under the tutelage of a senile, just just an
Speaker 4: empty husk of a man who's never had any beliefs
Speaker 4: and whose brain wasn't functioning, and the country was actually
Speaker 4: being run by a cabal of you know, far left
Speaker 4: academic fruit nuts who thought the craziest crap. Yeah, not chaotic,
Speaker 4: but there have been There's a lot that's moving in
Speaker 4: the right direction.
Speaker 1: So anyway, here's what Americans think about. Half say worse off,
Speaker 1: almost exactly the number that voted for Kamala Harris. Forty
Speaker 1: nine percent say worse off. For better off, it's thirty
Speaker 1: two percent, about the same nineteen percent. I kind of
Speaker 1: feel like you about the same people are wishy washy.
Speaker 2: You're very judgmental.
Speaker 1: Uh, you break it down by Democrats, Republicans, and independence.
Speaker 1: I don't know if anybody need that. It's about exactly
Speaker 1: what you would think. Yeah, different number. Do you approve
Speaker 1: or disapprove of the way Donald Trump is handling these
Speaker 1: different things, and he's upside down on all of them.
Speaker 1: He's up upside down his job as president. He's got
Speaker 1: a forty percent approval, fifty six percent disapprove. His disapproved
Speaker 1: has been climbing. He used to be a fair number
Speaker 1: of wishy washy in betweens. No matter what is approval
Speaker 1: rating was there's almost no in betweens now that's almost
Speaker 1: completely disappeared. It's fifty six disapproved, forty percent approved. But
Speaker 1: we've gone through several cycles of presidents with that.
Speaker 2: Border.
Speaker 1: This one ease on the right side of barely fifty
Speaker 1: percent approve forty.
Speaker 2: Six disapprove on the border.
Speaker 1: How do you possibly disapprove of what's been doing on
Speaker 1: the border. That's got to be people who are extrapolating
Speaker 1: that into the way ICE is handling things, and they
Speaker 1: feel like they've bought a part with that, because if
Speaker 1: you're just going with the border, you're not. If you
Speaker 1: think it's not better, well yeah, and you're right.
Speaker 4: On the other hand, you could word it that that's
Speaker 4: a measure of what enormous damage the overreach and the
Speaker 4: over zealousness has done to the administration.
Speaker 1: Standing I won't hit all these, just the ones I
Speaker 1: think are interesting Venezuela, because you often will say stuff like, well,
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter if it's right or wrong. If the
Speaker 1: people believe it, that's going to change the politics, and
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. It's and it's you know, it may
Speaker 1: be the perfect sample of a Trump baketh his own
Speaker 1: cake and then craps on it.
Speaker 2: Is that a Shakespeare or is that in the Bible?
Speaker 4: Shakespeare? Was that Paul Shakespeare quoting the Bible? It's a
Speaker 4: perfect example of the Trump experience.
Speaker 2: Did he right? Was that? In his letter to the Galatians?
Speaker 4: He briefly mentioned it bakes his cake and then craps Yes,
Speaker 4: yes he may have said unleavened bread, but it was
Speaker 4: the same things.
Speaker 2: Thou hast defecate. It might have been fancy your words,
Speaker 2: but it's the same.
Speaker 1: Venezuela, dost thou defecate on thine bread after baking it?
Speaker 2: Exquisitely?
Speaker 1: What's thine story? Why can't thine stop when thine is I?
Speaker 1: When thou ist a head? Righteth the prophet? Why dost
Speaker 1: thou step on one's own genitalia? Exactly exactly the question
Speaker 1: the the elogians are asking. Zuela's upside down fifty three
Speaker 1: forty one. I thought that was more popular than that,
Speaker 1: at least in this poll. It's not immigration in general,
Speaker 1: you know, I think.
Speaker 4: That probably relates jack to the anecdote I said described
Speaker 4: yesterday about a friend who deals with athletes, and one
Speaker 4: of the athletes is from Venezuela. And a couple of
Speaker 4: people on campus if apologized to her for what the
Speaker 4: United States did, and She's like.
Speaker 2: What what are you talking.
Speaker 1: About, guys, A brutal dictator. It's the best thing that's
Speaker 1: ever happened to us. So there are a hell of.
Speaker 4: A lot of people who are coming at it from
Speaker 4: the you know, their TikTok news feeds, and it was
Speaker 4: a monstrous.
Speaker 2: And horrible thing to do. You can't. I can't hate
Speaker 2: them for that. That's all they get.
Speaker 1: No, Yeah, I'm almost what nicevie, You could run all
Speaker 1: these issues through the filter of if ninety eight percent
Speaker 1: of the media wasn't telling you one direction, what would
Speaker 1: your w be?
Speaker 4: Which is one of the reasons that I'm much more
Speaker 4: enthusiastic about outrich outr to people who never get the
Speaker 4: full picture, as opposed to just constantly be rating people
Speaker 4: who think differently than me. I would much rather be
Speaker 4: speaking of the apostle, Paul. I want to go into
Speaker 4: the territories and talk to the people and say, hey,
Speaker 4: have you ever considered this. I'll probably end up getting
Speaker 4: hanged up that side down and become a martyr, But
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying, a lot of these people
Speaker 4: just never hear the other point of view.
Speaker 1: Maybe we can some of these other issues later, but
Speaker 1: I'll hit you with the two big ones that really
Speaker 1: got him elected. Well, the third immigration, he's upside down
Speaker 1: fifty eight to forty. That's got to be all the
Speaker 1: ice thing, but that's what he ran. And closing the border,
Speaker 1: and he got the border closed. The economy, though, that's
Speaker 1: what a lot of people were voting on, just flat
Speaker 1: out the price of groceries, rent, et cetera, hoping that
Speaker 1: it would be better with a new president. Upside down
Speaker 1: fifty eight to forty, I mean an eighteen point spread there.
Speaker 1: And on the cost of living it's sixty four to
Speaker 1: thirty four upside down negative.
Speaker 2: That's brutal. Yeah, that is it's hard to win with
Speaker 2: those numbers.
Speaker 1: And right, whether it's your fault or not, or rightly
Speaker 1: wrong or whatever, if people feel that way about the
Speaker 1: cost of living, you're in bad shape. But look, I
Speaker 1: like had a minor in economics decades ago, and I
Speaker 1: would have been delighted to tell the administration, look, here's
Speaker 1: your challenge. We can't get most prices to come down.
Speaker 1: It's just not going to happen. So they'll either remain
Speaker 1: high or even with inflation at a manageable level, they'll
Speaker 1: keep getting a little bit higher. We've got a message
Speaker 1: hard and help people understand what's happening so we don't
Speaker 1: get blamed.
Speaker 2: They're just terrible at that.
Speaker 1: And one more stupid one, the Epstein Files.
Speaker 2: The birthday cake gets crapped on again.
Speaker 1: The Epstein Files upside down by forty four sixty six
Speaker 1: to twenty two. And you know, we know from the
Speaker 1: text and emails we get follow on Twitter and everything
Speaker 1: out that that's a lot of Republicans too. There's a
Speaker 1: lot of Democrats that don't like the Epstein File situation,
Speaker 1: and a lot of Republicans that I know who think
Speaker 1: that the BONDI and Trump are hiding something or whatever.
Speaker 2: I don't. I'm not with that crowd.
Speaker 1: But maybe later we'll get into the Is Donald Trump
Speaker 1: one of the best presidents in US history? Worst presidence
Speaker 1: in U history? Blah blah blah. What a dumb question
Speaker 1: to ask in the middle of a term. When you're
Speaker 1: into a term gets clicks, it does? We got more
Speaker 1: on the way, Stay here, Armstrong.
Speaker 5: Five of the biggest alcohol makers in the world are
Speaker 5: sitting on what's described as a lake of unsold alcohol,
Speaker 5: twenty two billion dollars worth of inventory, according to the
Speaker 5: Financial Times, the result of people drinking less than they
Speaker 5: used to and to think there's still a week to
Speaker 5: go in dry January.
Speaker 4: A lake of unsold alcohol. Oh I'm buying a cabinet.
Speaker 4: Booze lake, tell you what boos lake? Oh yeah, I'll
Speaker 4: be there.
Speaker 1: Get you a canoe and you know what, you stand
Speaker 1: up on purpose? You want it to flip or justice
Speaker 1: to bring a Scooper with you.
Speaker 4: Mm, although it would probably be like an unholy mixed
Speaker 4: so like vodka and rum and scotch.
Speaker 1: And like did you like a Long Island ice stage?
Speaker 1: Did you ever watch that series on Netflix? Last Man
Speaker 1: on Earth? Everybody Died but Him?
Speaker 2: I watched a couple of episodes.
Speaker 1: It's kind of interesting. It's psychology of human nature. I mean, like,
Speaker 1: at first it was really funny. I was doing everything
Speaker 1: you'd want to do and everything in the world. Then
Speaker 1: it got really lonely and boring and on the unfulfilling
Speaker 1: very quickly. But in the first episode, he fills a
Speaker 1: kiddie pool with tequila and he's laying in and he's
Speaker 1: got a straw inside of his mouth. He just leans
Speaker 1: over and drinks while he's laying in the kiddie pool
Speaker 1: filled with tequila. So that's what Boosleg would be like.
Speaker 1: So are people really drinking that much less.
Speaker 6: That?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, I believe so, why.
Speaker 1: I guess is a question. Studies keep showing that people
Speaker 1: are drinking a lot. Let's what's the why is it?
Speaker 2: Hell?
Speaker 4: My gosh, I wish I knew. Yeah, that's part of it.
Speaker 2: The smoke dope. Thirty eight states allied to smoke dope legally,
Speaker 2: thank you. Yeah. I think if you were to look
Speaker 2: at the.
Speaker 1: Cohort of people who used to and don't anymore, or
Speaker 1: would have and don't, you're gonna find three or four
Speaker 1: different explanations.
Speaker 2: Katie, I don't know how how big of an impact
Speaker 2: this would have. But the weight loss drugs make you
Speaker 2: not want alcohol?
Speaker 1: Yes, interesting, Yeah, that's got to be one of the reasons. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I quit drinking twenty years ago. I think I probably
Speaker 1: by myself affected the statistics, So that's something.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's generally concerned about health. That what
Speaker 4: Katie said, people are smoking more pot And then I
Speaker 4: came across a really persuasive essay by a brilliant writer.
Speaker 4: I wish I could remember who suggesting that young people
Speaker 4: are so afraid of being out of control. They're just
Speaker 4: they're so anxious and so lonely and isolated and online
Speaker 4: and everything, going out with their friends and hooton and
Speaker 4: hollering and having a couple of drinks.
Speaker 2: It's just not part of their lives. Wow.
Speaker 1: But sitting at home and smoking would be that. That's
Speaker 1: a safer our some terms. Yeah, yeah, interesting times change.
Speaker 1: Bill O'Reilly says he's stepping back for media appearances due
Speaker 1: to malady and didn't say what. He's seventy six years old,
Speaker 1: got some sort of health problem, So wish the West
Speaker 1: for best for Bill o'reiley. Always liked his well, mostly
Speaker 1: liked his act. The last time he was on our
Speaker 1: show he wouldn't let me talk, so we haven't had
Speaker 1: him on since. But in general over the years, like
Speaker 1: his act. Yeah, yeah, he's an interesting character. My language segment,
Speaker 1: oh boy, oh, is there other than dream interpretation?
Speaker 2: Maybe the phone? Well it's not completely phony.
Speaker 4: I guess somebody's sitting there leaning forward to their shoulders,
Speaker 4: hunched in there a red face with their jaws at
Speaker 4: You could probably assume they're pissed off. But oh, speaking
Speaker 4: of dream interpretation, did I actually tell you about the
Speaker 4: recurring dream I keep having?
Speaker 2: Uh? So weird?
Speaker 1: And this one, this is not one of those long
Speaker 1: rambling dreams. It's always same. I'm on the road. I'm
Speaker 1: traveling for a week for business, kind of your standard,
Speaker 1: low impact you know, in a hotel suite or whatever week.
Speaker 2: But I'm not going home after the week.
Speaker 1: I'm going to China for a week and a half
Speaker 1: to two weeks, and I'm dealing with the logistics of all, right,
Speaker 1: do I have enough clothes? Do I have the right clothes? Oh,
Speaker 1: my gosh, my passport? R I do have my passport
Speaker 1: because I'm going to be in China for two weeks.
Speaker 1: And it's always the same, dam You have a recurring
Speaker 1: dream about going to China and the minutia of the schlep,
Speaker 1: the logistics of it. Yeah, and it's always that I'm
Speaker 1: already traveling and then I'm going to China.
Speaker 2: That's the same plot. That's China.
Speaker 1: It's not a fun dream at all. You don't know
Speaker 1: why they're no orgasms.
Speaker 4: One dream, I actually was in China and was going
Speaker 4: into some store thinking all right, I need some clean
Speaker 4: underwear and maybe a bottle of Scotch to wind down with.
Speaker 4: And I'm looking around at all the Chinese you know words,
Speaker 4: and I'm thinking, what the hell?
Speaker 2: This is too stressful?
Speaker 1: We play interpreted mail bag at Armstrong and Giddy dot com.
Speaker 2: I think you're pregnant? We uh.
Speaker 1: We played this yesterday late in the show, The Treasury
Speaker 1: Secretary take going after Gavin Newsom for a variety of reasons.
Speaker 2: We had to play it again because it's pretty good
Speaker 2: Armstrong and Geeddy.
Speaker 1: So this first thing we played yesterday, but a lot
Speaker 1: of you didn't hear it, and it's one of those
Speaker 1: things that even if you.
Speaker 2: Did hear it, you're gonna want to hear it again.
Speaker 1: The Secretary of the Treasury, which is usually held by
Speaker 1: somebody who's just dry as the Sahara.
Speaker 2: Desert and restrained and careful for good reason.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not somebody to want to hang out with
Speaker 1: at a party, right, But this Besson guy is interesting.
Speaker 1: He's the one at a dinner party last year threatened
Speaker 1: to efing punch a dude in the effing face in
Speaker 1: front of in front of thirty other people.
Speaker 4: I was trying to undermine him to the president. He's
Speaker 4: called him out, and I.
Speaker 1: Like to mention this every time he is openly gay,
Speaker 1: but never ever gets mentioned because he's not a Democrat,
Speaker 1: the first openly gay secretary of the Treasury. No. No,
Speaker 1: those things only count and are held up as very important,
Speaker 1: which it's not.
Speaker 2: If you're a Democrat. Correct.
Speaker 4: Compare the enthusiastic reportage on Scott Bessant and his orientation
Speaker 4: versus say, KJP, it's.
Speaker 1: Hilarious, back to you, ridiculous any who. Here's what he
Speaker 1: had to say about Gavin Newsom, who was scheduled to
Speaker 1: speak today at Davos and then it got canceled. More
Speaker 1: on that later, but here's the Treasury secretary.
Speaker 2: I think it's very very.
Speaker 7: Ironic that you Governor Newsom, who strikes me as Patrick
Speaker 7: Bateman meets Sparkle beach Ken, maybe the only Californian who
Speaker 7: knows less about economics than Kamala Harris. He's here this
Speaker 7: week with his billionaire sugar daddy, Alex Soros, and the
Speaker 7: Davos is a perfect place for a man who when
Speaker 7: everyone else is on lockdown, when he was having people
Speaker 7: arrested for going to church, he was having thousand dollars
Speaker 7: a night meals at the French laundry, and I'm sure
Speaker 7: the California people won't forget that.
Speaker 1: So why is he getting in Gavin Newsom's shorts Davos
Speaker 1: Well unfortunate metaphor. Newsom had been invited to speak yesterday
Speaker 1: at an event sponsored by USA House, which for the
Speaker 1: first time was recognized by the US government as a
Speaker 1: country's official headquarters at Davos, whatever the hell that means.
Speaker 1: But at the laicestish minute, an organizer told GAVI's office
Speaker 1: that we've decided not to include any US officials. We're
Speaker 1: going to focus on CEOs and business leaders. They canceled
Speaker 1: the governor of the California, fifth biggest economy in the world,
Speaker 1: who was there specifically, I said earlier in a week,
Speaker 1: and I think it would have been true the biggest
Speaker 1: speech perhaps of his life, of his running for president
Speaker 1: career thus far. Yes, he was going to bad mouth
Speaker 1: Trumpe in front of all the world leaders. They were
Speaker 1: going to cheer him like crazy. He was going to
Speaker 1: be huge for him. And Trump said, how about he doesn't.
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, no, that's incorrect.
Speaker 4: USA House said, we haven't uninvited Newsome or acted under
Speaker 4: any political imperative. It was an oversight or something. Gavy
Speaker 4: is not buying it. The Treasury secretary was not done
Speaker 4: here he goes.
Speaker 7: My message to Governor Newsom is the Trump administration is
Speaker 7: coming to California. We're going to crack down on waste, fraud,
Speaker 7: and abuse. And I was told he was asked to
Speaker 7: give a speech on his signature policies. But he's not
Speaker 7: speaking because what of his economic policies brought outward migration
Speaker 7: from California, a gigantic budget deficit, the largest homeless population
Speaker 7: in America, and the poor folks in the Palisades who
Speaker 7: had their homes burned down. He is here hob nobbing
Speaker 7: with the global elite while his California citizens are still homeless.
Speaker 2: Shame on him.
Speaker 7: He is too smug, too self absorbed, and too economically
Speaker 7: illiterate to know anything.
Speaker 2: Thank you very much.
Speaker 7: Let me know if you need any further clarification.
Speaker 4: Oof, maybe you should go and speak as a cautionary
Speaker 4: tale to others.
Speaker 2: So why are they taken.
Speaker 1: On Gavin like that? Though Trump's not going to run
Speaker 1: against Gavin in twenty eight.
Speaker 4: The Republicans are going to run against Gavin in twenty
Speaker 4: eight and they anticipated that Gavy boy would take to
Speaker 4: the rosst from there in Davos and just blast the
Speaker 4: crap out of Trump.
Speaker 2: So they wanted to get ahead of it, ahead of it.
Speaker 1: But then evidently, I don't know, somebody decided, yeah, besstt
Speaker 1: was hilarious and effective, and that was a great takedown.
Speaker 1: But let's just not let him speak at all. There
Speaker 1: we have Gavin explaining what he thinks happened.
Speaker 8: I was going to speak last night. It was a
Speaker 8: well established event at the USA House, simple conversation discussion
Speaker 8: after Trump's speech. They made sure that I didn't. They
Speaker 8: made sure it was canceled. And that's what's happened in
Speaker 8: United States of America. Freedom expression, freedom assembly, freedom of speech.
Speaker 2: It's American reverse.
Speaker 4: Freedom of a holes to speak in Switzerland. I mean,
Speaker 4: come on, obviously they didn't decap the guy. I mean,
Speaker 4: it's hilarious USA House saying what, No, we did not
Speaker 4: invite anybody.
Speaker 2: Of course you did, geed.
Speaker 1: There's no constitutional amendment for BUTTHELAS to speak in foreign soil.
Speaker 2: Read the First Amendment, you boughts.
Speaker 1: Anyway, Well, you know what he's he's been begging for
Speaker 1: a game of hardball at the highest level to elevate
Speaker 1: himself as the great crusader against the Trump administration.
Speaker 2: Now he's got it. I apologize that was not dignified commentary.
Speaker 2: So great commentary.
Speaker 1: This has been making the rounds on TikTok. I guess
Speaker 1: mocking Gavin for a stance he claim to have.
Speaker 2: Now one person ever in my office has ever used
Speaker 2: the word LATINX, Like, so, can we finally put that
Speaker 2: to bad? Yeah, but where did that even know? More
Speaker 2: LATINX everybody? Well, I just didn't even know where it
Speaker 2: came from. And like, what are people talking about? Impactful?
Speaker 2: This has been on the LATINX community.
Speaker 8: LATINX community politicians that are banning not assault rifles, but
Speaker 8: the word LATINX.
Speaker 6: Nothing I dislike more than the politician that sits there
Speaker 6: and lies to you and we all just sit there
Speaker 6: rolling our eyes.
Speaker 2: Go and give me a break. Wow.
Speaker 4: That was the Gavin Newsom biography in twenty eight secs.
Speaker 2: Wow, that's all you need to know.
Speaker 1: I didn't know that he used to use the term.
Speaker 1: I assumed that, but he not only used the term.
Speaker 1: Apparently at one point he lectured people who were trying
Speaker 1: to stop the term.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like his It stands on a boys competing
Speaker 4: girls sports. He doesn't even attempt to, oh, remain consistent
Speaker 4: or form arguments like a normal person. He just babbles out,
Speaker 4: you know, phrases, sounds aggrieved, and then, like nobody has
Speaker 4: any memory, he goes on to the next thing and
Speaker 4: says something completely different.
Speaker 2: It wouldn't be nice.
Speaker 1: If that's a criticizable deficit at this point in our
Speaker 1: politics and history. But I think he understands where we are,
Speaker 1: just like Trump understands where we are and the way
Speaker 1: things work in the modern world. Nobody is ever going
Speaker 1: to hear any of that he used to say LATINX
Speaker 1: stuff unless you're already against him, just the way your
Speaker 1: algorithms work in the media flows. So you can say
Speaker 1: Trump was the first one to discover this, I think,
Speaker 1: But Gavinos, you can say anything you want to your
Speaker 1: crowd and they're never are going to hear the pushback
Speaker 1: on it.
Speaker 2: That's just out there.
Speaker 1: The better because the further out there it is, the
Speaker 1: stronger indication it is that I'm in your tribe. I mean,
Speaker 1: this gets what I said our one word. I'm getting
Speaker 1: so discouraged on when I hear a story, I think, wow,
Speaker 1: that's really troubling. But it might not be true, and
Speaker 1: it may be true, and I'm not going to take
Speaker 1: the time to figure it out.
Speaker 2: So I mean, that's just where we are.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Gavin's nahole, but he's not a fool. And if
Speaker 1: you could, I don't know, treat him to a nice
Speaker 1: dinner at the French Laundry or something like that. It
Speaker 1: was early and oh, oh, oh my god, I thought
Speaker 1: it was like a seven o'clock reservation. I'm sorry, I
Speaker 1: retract the criticism anyway, if you were to get them
Speaker 1: to speak to you honestly, he'd say, oh, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I deny him for these things when I'm talking to
Speaker 1: critical folks, moderate and conservative folks, but then I affirm
Speaker 1: that I'm for them when I'm talking to progressive people.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's exactly what I do.
Speaker 1: So we should get into the phrase catch of the day,
Speaker 1: decide whether or not we think that's out of.
Speaker 2: Bounds of the day.
Speaker 1: Good Lord, we'll explain what that means here after we
Speaker 1: tell you about rough Greens, which is a new sponsor

Speaker 2: So DHS is going big in Maine right now.
Speaker 1: I didn't know we had that many illegal immigrants in Maine,
Speaker 1: but god, yeah. So they started doing this thing called
Speaker 1: catch of the day where at the end of it, because
Speaker 1: you know they fish up there, oh right, And that's
Speaker 1: like a name for a special food at a restaurant
Speaker 1: that serves fish.
Speaker 2: Catch of the day.
Speaker 1: Oh so they're using that, playing the words for at
Speaker 1: the end of the day. They'll say, here's the ice
Speaker 1: catch of the day. We caught this guy. He's a
Speaker 1: convicted pedophile with thirteen drunk drivings or whatever it is.
Speaker 2: But they've compared him to a fish jack. That's just
Speaker 2: a fensless catch of the day.
Speaker 1: Here's one of those personality tests you can do. You're
Speaker 1: either highly offended by that and like, you know, it
Speaker 1: hurts your soul, or you think kind of funny. Who cares?
Speaker 1: Seems like a good idea, like I do. All right,
Speaker 1: we won't call it the catch of the day. How
Speaker 1: about the scoop dejore No, No.
Speaker 2: It's just a slightly different phrase.
Speaker 1: Er, here's the worst person we caught today to give
Speaker 1: you an idea of who's hanging out and uh would
Speaker 1: continue to hang out if Ice didn't go in and
Speaker 1: get them. Now, I'd like to I'm not for grabbing
Speaker 1: US citizens and making them, you know, go through the
Speaker 1: hoops if we're doing indeed, no indeed.
Speaker 4: On the other hand, I'd like to thank the folks
Speaker 4: who are pretending to be offended by catches the day
Speaker 4: for amusing.
Speaker 2: Me so much. Catch of the day. We all need
Speaker 2: a lift now and again.
Speaker 4: Oh, speaking of animals, we've got to pay off the
Speaker 4: cow that uses tools. Good lord, Veronica. The cow is
Speaker 4: working the chimps territory. Now it's a shocking break through
Speaker 4: or something. Yeah, cows are using tools. People lock your doors,
Speaker 4: so we got more on the way.
Speaker 2: Stay here.
Speaker 1: The Reason magazine is a libertarian outfit. Correct Reason dot com. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Reason dot com magazine. They've got a tough my law
Speaker 1: and they got a piece today about a woman who's
Speaker 1: six year old was out riding his scooter a third
Speaker 1: of a mile from home.
Speaker 2: What would that be? Two blocks at a playground.
Speaker 1: A stranger reported to child services And now this mom
Speaker 1: needs to have people coming into the home from the
Speaker 1: state to keep an eye on her because she let
Speaker 1: her kid go to the park. Good lord, I want
Speaker 1: to talk about that a little bit more later.
Speaker 2: I mean that is.
Speaker 1: Means something bigger culturally, I think. But speaking of.
Speaker 4: The youngsters, more and more folks noticing the Mississippi Miracle
Speaker 4: or the Mississippi Marathon, in which that beleaguered southern state
Speaker 4: is completely turned around its education system by ignoring everything
Speaker 4: the big teachers' unions has been advocating. It is to
Speaker 4: the extent that you go one hundred and eighty degrees
Speaker 4: in the other direction, that you and your schools and
Speaker 4: your children will be successful. We will fill in those
Speaker 4: blanks and show you the evidence. Also, the Chinese are
Speaker 4: spying like crazy in Taiwan and really infiltrating that poor
Speaker 4: speaking of a beleaguered places, beleaguered island nation, that that
Speaker 4: report coming up as well. But first and more importantly, this.
Speaker 6: May prove that cows are way smarter than we thought.
Speaker 6: Veronica the cow using a tool to scratch her back.
Speaker 6: It looks like the studies author said, this marks the
Speaker 6: first time on record that a mammal that wasn't a
Speaker 6: primate has been documented using a tool.
Speaker 4: Really, first, first question, NBC News sent Tom Yamas spelled
Speaker 4: exactly the same as Lamas.
Speaker 2: To report on a cow.
Speaker 4: Don't think that's because he has the name of a
Speaker 4: hoofed creature, Is that why? That's like whenever the Asian
Speaker 4: people were mad at us, they'd send an Asian reporter.
Speaker 4: If we said something provocative about welfare programs in black neighborhoods,
Speaker 4: they'd send a Black reporter to talk.
Speaker 2: About what bad fellas we are. It's just a thing.
Speaker 1: Anyway, back to the cow, that's the first documented case
Speaker 1: of anything other than primates using a tool. I got
Speaker 1: to bring that up to my son. He's super into
Speaker 1: this sort of thing. I think he would say, Now,
Speaker 1: there's like eight other things I can think of that
Speaker 1: use tools.
Speaker 2: In a variety of ways. Yeah, that's correct. I know.
Speaker 1: Ant eaters will put a stick in their mouth and
Speaker 1: stick the stick down into the ant hoole and drop
Speaker 1: bunches of ants on the stick.
Speaker 2: Ants on a stick, delicious.
Speaker 4: So that's an overstatement by these soft heads in the
Speaker 4: Network News.
Speaker 1: South American moles use typewriters.
Speaker 4: For instance, it's surprising so Veronica is an Austrian cow.
Speaker 4: As a matter of fact, in a kalb. I believe
Speaker 4: when she has an itch, she scratches it by expertly
Speaker 4: wielding a stick. But now in a new study, Veronica
Speaker 4: is demonstrating even more advanced scratching skills, deploying different ends
Speaker 4: of a wooden broom to different parts of her body
Speaker 4: to target different parts of her body. It's an example
Speaker 4: of flexible tool use, a behavior that is relatively rare
Speaker 4: in the animal kingdom.
Speaker 1: Okay, that might be a different category of tool use
Speaker 1: than the other examples that exist out there, because that's
Speaker 1: some you know that that requires some Should I not
Speaker 1: be eating hamburgers if a cow can I think through?
Speaker 1: I think I'll use the pointy end of the stick
Speaker 1: for this itch, But for this itch, I think the
Speaker 1: round end of the stick would work better.
Speaker 2: I mean that sort of thinking.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I should be eating you deliciously
Speaker 1: mean hum rare like I do.
Speaker 2: I am slightly cautious.
Speaker 4: That there may be an element of that in this,
Speaker 4: because this doctor who's studying Veronica at the cow says
Speaker 4: that what doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: I don't care if they can and recite Shakespeare. I'm
Speaker 1: still gonna eat them. I mean, it would make you
Speaker 1: a monster. It's kidding, But the doctor says that should
Speaker 1: give us some pause and perhaps also motivate us to
Speaker 1: look at livestock animals differently. I think we should eat more,
Speaker 1: keep them in control, exactly, Laco.
Speaker 2: Let them know whose boss.
Speaker 1: If Herford cattle could drive cars and recite Shakespeare'd still
Speaker 1: eat them.
Speaker 2: So you know, come on, I'm not pretending that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I think there may be a little activism here,
Speaker 1: but it could be. Well, the more I read The
Speaker 1: New York Times, in contrast to the NBC News, has
Speaker 1: actually quite a long article about this.
Speaker 2: Far too long.
Speaker 1: Honestly, as long as cow's been doing their cow thing
Speaker 1: around people, how is this the first time we've ever
Speaker 1: discovered their tool use?
Speaker 2: I don't know. They say.
Speaker 1: One difference maybe that this cow is a pet and
Speaker 1: not a production animal, so it has time to enlarge. It's,
Speaker 1: you know, enrich itself and read the great books and
Speaker 1: come up with.
Speaker 2: Novel uses for steaks the great books. Yeah, I don't,
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I learned this from Thucydides. The sharp under the stink,
Speaker 1: and you got an itche on your roomp, you got
Speaker 1: a bad itch. He used the sharpen, which by the way,
Speaker 1: is the most delicious part of me. Unfortunately, Yes, good
Speaker 1: news bad news for me. I can now itch my
Speaker 1: bad news. It's delicious.
Speaker 4: Speaking of stupidity, I mentioned this in the very beginning
Speaker 4: of the show, that some New York PD detectives had
Speaker 4: to go to the hospital because they were arresting a
Speaker 4: really bad guy who fought them and hurt a couple
Speaker 4: of the cops. They go to the hospital and hospital
Speaker 4: staff were nasty to them in the waiting room, accused
Speaker 4: them of being ice officers and suggested, why don't you
Speaker 4: go somewhere else? So they properly identified themselves, and the
Speaker 4: New York PD is obviously pissed off about this, the
Speaker 4: commissioners insisting all hospital staff he retrained.
Speaker 1: Blah blah blah. This is my favorite part. The hospital blamed.
Speaker 1: Where is the phrase? Uh oh? The hospital said, the
Speaker 1: hospital staff had a misunderstanding of their policy. Oh so
Speaker 1: we're not supposed to be rate cops when they show
Speaker 1: up and tell them to get the hell out and
Speaker 1: go somewhere else because we hate them.
Speaker 2: Deny me, keep getting that wrong. Deny the medical care.
Speaker 1: We will give medical care to anybody from any country
Speaker 1: who's done anything at tywaw at taxpayer's expense, right, but
Speaker 1: now we want help out the cops who are enforcing
Speaker 1: federal immigration law.
Speaker 2: Where we are with Ice kind of reminds me of
Speaker 2: the whole.
Speaker 1: I was too young for this. I've only read about
Speaker 1: it and seen it in documentaries. Back back when, you know,
Speaker 1: hippies used to call cops pigs and stuff like that
Speaker 1: breaking up their parties.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh, that reminds me. Great great stuff from the
Speaker 1: Fabulous and Ellie Bowls.
Speaker 2: Have you noticed how.
Speaker 4: The spectacular, horrifying, sickening police violence in Iran is completely
Speaker 4: uncommented on by the left in America.
Speaker 1: They got nothing to say. It's almost as if their
Speaker 1: principles are fake. They just pretend to have them to
Speaker 1: get revolution going. We will discuss that as well.
Speaker 2: Stay with us.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's an interesting topic. We do a lot of segments.
Speaker 1: A lot of them are interesting, some of them aren't,
Speaker 1: but the ones that are you should listen to in
Speaker 1: the podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand
Speaker 2: Armstrong and Getty
