00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:40,159
Speaker 2: C say, signor a dimly lit room deeper than the

6
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 2: bowels of the Armstrong in getting Communications Counpound on Tuesday,

7
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:47,200
Speaker 2: we're under the tutage of our general manager.

8
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 1: The man. The man is now.

9
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 2: In charge in La answered to the man, Yeah, that's right,

10
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 2: scumbags anarchists. Well, if you get enough people there, I

11
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 2: guess enough top some various kinds, National Guard up police

12
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 2: from all over California, then I guess you can get

13
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 2: things under control. Because there wasn't a lot last night.

14
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:13,680
Speaker 2: I mean, I set a couple of cop cars on

15
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 2: fire on the way to work. But you know this

16
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 2: is the routine, right right, Yeah, all of that show

17
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 2: of force over the objections of the far left lunatic

18
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:30,320
Speaker 2: governor of California, who's looking worse as the days go by.

19
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 2: In my opinion, are we down to the political grand

20
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 2: standing wrangling at this point over that sort of thing.

21
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 2: I'm in charge, No, I'm in charge, and who benefits

22
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,759
Speaker 2: from it? And Newsom and Trump maybe their whole forty

23
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 2: minute phone call Saturday night was I'll bet we could

24
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 2: both benefit greatly from this if we played right. Maybe

25
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 2: that's what they said. Wow, I doubt wow. You know

26
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 2: that's not crazy. Donald J wins this one though. If

27
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 2: gif Gavy thing this is an acceptable look to the

28
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 2: rest of America, he is insane.

29
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 1: Well, we got a couple of clips we're gonna play later.

30
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 2: I mean, I was watching Mark Alprin's news show last night,

31
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 2: and he has Sean Spicer, he was Trump's press secretary

32
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,399
Speaker 2: on representing Republicans, and he has this other guy, Dan

33
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 2: something or other who represents Democrats.

34
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:19,799
Speaker 1: He's a strategist, dude, and.

35
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 2: The Democratic strategist dude was like, I don't know what

36
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 2: we're doing. The optics of this are horrible. We've got

37
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 2: to get out of this. I mean, we are on

38
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 2: the wrong side of this one hundred percent. He was

39
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 2: just beside himself with how bad it was for his party,

40
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 2: the Democrat. You know what's interesting is when similar stuff

41
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 2: happened during the Bided administration. I could run through the

42
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 2: list if you like. You start with the George Floyd thing.

43
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 2: The strategy was, well, we'll just let everybody rye. The

44
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 2: local cops will get beat up and the media will

45
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 2: spin it for us, and so it won't have this

46
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,079
Speaker 2: bad this bad look.

47
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's funny you bring that up.

48
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 2: I heard some punditry about that this morning that I

49
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 2: thought was really smarting with George Floyd. Was most of

50
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 2: America saw the video a George Floyd on the ground

51
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,079
Speaker 2: with the knee on his neck and thought that's horrific

52
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 2: and kind of understood why people were on the streets.

53
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 2: Even if you don't, you know, the smashing up windows

54
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 2: and all that sort's not acceptable, but you understood why

55
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 2: people were angry on this one. People are looking at

56
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 2: the big picture and saying, why are you protesting against

57
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 2: the kicking out illegals? I want so it's this The

58
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 2: public opinion is not on the side of the protesters.

59
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 2: I would agree, Yeah, absolutely, I think. Yeah, I'm not

60
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 2: going to religate the whole George Floyd thing.

61
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: It was.

62
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 2: It could have been a much more nuanced view if

63
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 2: the media or doing their jobs, but that's in the past.

64
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 2: But yeah, I think that's absolutely true. There's no bedrock

65
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 2: of sympathy. I mean, you might sympathize over some law

66
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 2: abiding guy who's been here for fifteen years and gets

67
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 2: caught up in a.

68
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: Raid or whatever.

69
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 2: That's fine, let's talk about that, let's pass laws about that.

70
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 2: But let's not burn la about that, says America. So

71
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 2: I thought this was interesting late in the day yesterday,

72
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 2: if you saw this or not. So the there was

73
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 2: one main guy who was cement chunk guy who had

74
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 2: big chunks of cement was breaking him into small enough

75
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 2: chunks he could lift him over his head, trying to

76
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,039
Speaker 2: kill I don't know how you describe it anyway other

77
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 2: than trying to kill cops. If you try throw a

78
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 2: giant chunk of cement at somebody, you're.

79
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,359
Speaker 1: Trying to kill him. Right from an overpass.

80
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 2: Anyway, They figured out who the guy was, even though

81
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 2: he was masked. His mask slipped down at one point,

82
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 2: did some facial recognition, which is a little frightening, and

83
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 2: figured out who the guy is right away, and they

84
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 2: got a name, and they worn out for his arrest,

85
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 2: and Pam Bondi, the Attorney General, announced that yesterday afternoon.

86
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 2: So they're going to find this guy. They know where

87
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 2: he is, they're gonna find him. He is one of

88
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,919
Speaker 2: your outside agitators and I think it'll be interesting to

89
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 2: see who he's associated with attached to his what is

90
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 2: you know what? Is he one of these professionals that's

91
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,840
Speaker 2: been ever at every giant Riot we've watched over the

92
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 2: last twenty years.

93
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, you read my mind.

94
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,839
Speaker 2: I was just gonna say, let's talk about his organization,

95
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 2: his associations, which are loose intentionally. It's a classic insurgents

96
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 2: sell distribution of power. So nobody knows anybody else, so

97
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 2: you can't inform on people anyway. But to whatever extent

98
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,479
Speaker 2: they can connect this guy to whomever else, it's a

99
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 2: clear place to apply the Rico statutes. This guy is

100
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 2: part of a criminal organization that commits mayhem. Wow, that

101
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:36,799
Speaker 2: would be interesting inter state mayhem. You're right, but probably

102
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 2: violates the commerce clause. I'm guessing this isn't a plucky

103
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:44,479
Speaker 2: Hispanic dad. I was just reading more about the Maryland dad. Right,

104
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 2: old Kilmar. What's his face? He's a freaking human trafficking

105
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 2: gang banger.

106
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 1: Anyway.

107
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 2: I suspect very strongly that this isn't an offended American

108
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 2: citizen of Hispanic descent in a long time Angelino. No,

109
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 2: he's he's a Antifa scumbag.

110
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:03,719
Speaker 1: So there's more.

111
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 2: National guardsmen being deployed to LA and Marines. I don't

112
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,160
Speaker 2: know what they're gonna do when they get there. I

113
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 2: don't think there's gonna be anything to do, but you know,

114
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 2: I mean guard federal facilities until the dust settles, right,

115
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 2: the dust may maybe see the Walk of Fame.

116
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,160
Speaker 1: I don't know, there are many things to see him.

117
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 2: Trump was asked about it last night. Maybe we'll play

118
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 2: this later. Trump's asked about it last night, and he

119
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 2: had like two words about it. Then he started it

120
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 2: on how dumb the bullet train is. So I don't know,

121
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 2: he got off very grave. He's right, Yeah, maybe deploy

122
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,599
Speaker 2: National Guard troops to surround the bullet train track there

123
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 2: in Palmdale and say stop building this.

124
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 1: It's crazy. A point of order, mister chairman. There's no track.

125
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 2: There's just like a flat area where a track could

126
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:54,919
Speaker 2: conceivably go in the year twenty one eighty, not a

127
00:06:54,960 --> 00:07:00,080
Speaker 2: minor point. Some protest protesting using my finger quotes, I

128
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 2: like the way protests is a catch all word from

129
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:06,840
Speaker 2: everything from we got a permit and eight of us

130
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 2: with signs are going to stand on the corner here

131
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 2: and try to get minimum wage raised, and they also

132
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 2: call protest. The thousands of people looting stores and setting

133
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 2: things on fire. They're all protests, all come under the

134
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 2: same word. Oh, that's what was going on. It's funny

135
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 2: that reporters who's very occupation involves choosing words to accurately

136
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 2: describe things would.

137
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 1: Lack the vocabulary to make clear what's going on. That's

138
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: really odd.

139
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what went on in La mostly last night.

140
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 1: Looting.

141
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 2: I'm loading in for illegals, looting for illegals. I need

142
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 2: a new TV for illegals, much protesting the need to

143
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 2: exchange currency for these goods by taking them. Yeah, lots

144
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 2: of looting. And then the police said, well, this is

145
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 2: what happens when we've got all the cops having to

146
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 2: deal with one situation.

147
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: I don't know.

148
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 2: I guess that's anger at the Trump administration for attempting

149
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 2: to boot out illegal but yeah, lots of looting. So

150
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 2: I guess that's what the National Guard, troops and marines

151
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 2: could be doing, is stopping the Maybe they take control downtown,

152
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 2: then the cops can go back to stopping looting, which

153
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 2: happens immediately you pull cops out of an area, immediately

154
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 2: things get looted at least in la Yeah. Yeah, that's

155
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 2: just human nature. Unfortunately, it seems Yeah, I was just reading.

156
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 2: Didn't get a chance to bring it up on the show.

157
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 2: The trend in faith and belief? What was the term

158
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 2: support for the police in the Minneapolis area speaking of

159
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 2: old George Floyd that among black and inner city residents,

160
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,679
Speaker 2: they support the police strongly because they know what the

161
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:44,199
Speaker 2: absence of the police means. It means mayhem and pain

162
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 2: and death. I heard a good rant about this yesterday.

163
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 2: I will summarize it after we start the show.

164
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 1: Officially. I'm Jack Armstrong.

165
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 2: He's Joe Getty on this It is Tuesday, June the

166
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 2: tenth year, twenty twenty five. We are Armstrong in Getty

167
00:08:58,040 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 2: and we approve of this program.

168
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: Let's begin the show officially.

169
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 2: Then, according to f CEC rules of regulations, we wouldn't

170
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 2: want the National Guard coming in here.

171
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 1: Let's get started at Mark.

172
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 3: We are behind the LAPD skirmish line right now. They

173
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 3: gave a dispersal order. The crowd did not disperse. There

174
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 3: are hundreds upon hundreds upon hundreds of these protesters in

175
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 3: front of these officers, pushing these officers towards us. They

176
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,560
Speaker 3: go back, probably two blocks behind a whole lot of

177
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 3: foreign flags being waved. From my perspective, I don't see

178
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 3: a single American one right now. I see multiple from

179
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:31,959
Speaker 3: Mexico and from El Salvador.

180
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what that Democratic strategist was talking about the

181
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 2: optics of this, just all those foreign flags and people

182
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 2: here illegally and just the vast majority of Americas.

183
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 1: No, no to that. Wow.

184
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 2: So I was listening to this podcast yesterday and the

185
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 2: punditry around what were you just talking about now, flit

186
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 2: it out of my mind.

187
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 1: Most of the police, inter cities, minorities.

188
00:09:56,679 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, how rioting is such a you know, it's

189
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 2: a regressive tax. It hurts working class people way more

190
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 2: than it hurts you know, upper middle class or rich

191
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 2: people a highway being closed off for a while or

192
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 2: you can't get where you want to go or whatever.

193
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 2: It hurts the average Joe or below that way more

194
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 2: then it hurts people who can afford to miss a

195
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 2: day or work from home or whatever. That's such a

196
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 2: great point.

197
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it is.

198
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:29,559
Speaker 2: And the damage is almost exclusively done in the neighborhoods

199
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:31,680
Speaker 2: where people like that live, where they would like to

200
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 2: be able to go to the store, but the store

201
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 2: is closed because somebody torched it and looted it, probably

202
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 2: in reverse order. Yeah, it absolutely impacts the poor much

203
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 2: more strongly.

204
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 1: It's terrible.

205
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:46,719
Speaker 2: Speaking of the working class. I just saw breaking news.

206
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 2: Josh Holly, US Senator from Missoo just proposed a fifteen

207
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:54,199
Speaker 2: dollars an hour national minimum wage.

208
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 1: Man, he has gone full played to the working class,

209
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:02,079
Speaker 1: hasn't he. Yeah? Why the horseshoe principle at work here?

210
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:06,079
Speaker 2: Dangerous right winger Josh Holly is now singing you from

211
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 2: the same hymnal as Bernie Sanders on a regular basis.

212
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,839
Speaker 2: Or the Republican Party is becoming the Democratic Party, and

213
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 2: the Democratic Party is becoming the Socialist Party. I don't

214
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:19,439
Speaker 2: know where the Conservatives are going to land at some point. Anyway,

215
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 2: different story for a different time. Oh, we got Katie's

216

Speaker 2: headlines on the way. We've got lots of stuff to

217
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 2: talk about today that I'm looking forward to. Wow, did

218
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 2: I come across something interesting yesterday about people who are

219
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:36,120

00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 2: emotion that stuff. It's not sex stuff, it's emotional stuff.

Speaker 2: you just said about the Republican Party becoming the Democrats

228
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 2: and the Democrats becoming the socialists. It's one of the

229
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:12,960
Speaker 2: more disturbing things I've heard in the last five years.

230
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:17,319
Speaker 2: I think You're absolutely right. I think we are becoming

231
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 2: great Britain.

232
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 1: I'm here to disturb or Canada becoming Canada and great Britain.

233
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:26,560
Speaker 1: Good lord, good Lord. So anyway, we got all that

234
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:26,959
Speaker 1: on the way.

235
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 2: Our text line is four one five two nine five KFTC.

236
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,400

00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 2: get your real headlines. Rick Astley video for Never Gonna

238
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:48,559
Speaker 2: Give You Up hits one billion views yesterday. Wow, the

239
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 2: rickroll one billion views on that. That is a troubling

240
00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:00,200
Speaker 2: commentary on the modern world. It's very funny or something.

241
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 2: I wonder who made the money on that? Does he

242
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 2: make the money on that? I don't know who it

243
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:05,440
Speaker 2: writes to the video. I don't know how much. I

244
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 2: have no idea how that whole thing works. But somebody

245
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 2: made money. A billion views is a lot. Yeah, wow,

246
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 2: he might be you know, Richard and an Oil She

247
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 2: because Rick Colling became a thing. I mean it was

248
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 2: a hit. I was a DJ at the time in

249
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 2: top forty music. But it wasn't like extraordinarily popular, nor was.

250
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 1: It particularly mocked. No, no, it was just so just

251
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:30,320
Speaker 1: a pop song. It was just another song of it.

252
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 1: Rick Rolling still happens now regularly.

253
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 2: And then of course, uh, Brian in the tradition is

254
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,839
Speaker 2: enduring his Christmas and Brian the dog from Family Guy

255
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 2: would always sing it whenever he got drunk at karaoke. Yes, fantastic. Well,

256
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 2: a lot happening in the world. By golly, let's figure

257
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 2: out who's reporting what. It's the lead story with Katie Green.

258
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 1: Katie helped us out all right.

259
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 4: Starting off with Reuters, Trump administration deploys marines to La

260
00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:01,199
Speaker 4: as anti ice protests spread to Texas and San Francisco.

261
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 2: Man marines even even law and Order me if you

262
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,599
Speaker 2: heard the long screet about starting to hit people in

263
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 2: the head with sticks yesterday. Even Law and Order me

264
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 2: thinks the Marines. Man, that seems like things got to

265
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 2: be really off the rails before he starts sending the

266
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 2: Marines in the US streets.

267
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 1: I certainly hope they're the backups to the backups.

268
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 4: Right From ABC, Zlenski demands action from America after latest

269
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 4: Russian drone missile attack.

270
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, to back up just a second to the whole marines.

271
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 2: Part of it is, as a guy who loves the military,

272
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 2: putting those Marines in a terrible situation right, and honestly,

273
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 2: it could do long term damage to the standing in

274
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 2: the military in this country if they were used against

275
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 2: I was about to say their own countrymen. A lot

276
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 2: of the people in LA are their own countrymen.

277
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 1: But yeah, that's that's fraught. As they say, it's it's

278
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 1: not great.

279
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:02,920

285
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 2: that they passed that boat from whatever country that was

286
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 2: from that had real refugees from a real genocide going on.

Speaker 2: the condition of their release, they have to watch the

291
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 2: October seventh video. I'll bet it's tough to take. Of course,

292
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:39,760

297
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 2: not the least bit shocked if somebody has the ai

298
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 2: ability to go through every statement I've made through the

299
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 2: years about how China is infiltrating this country with both

300
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 2: you know, established agents and the regular citizens are being

301
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 2: used as agents, and can catch me in one one

302
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 2: percent of an exaggeration. At this point, I will, I

303
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 2: don't know, donate a thousand dollars to your favorite charity.

304
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:21,440

305
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:22,560

Speaker 4: barred from flight.

309
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 2: Good move, idiot, that's amazing how often that has happened

310
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 2: in my radio career. People are running late for a

311
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 2: flight and they call in a bomb threat to fix

312
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 2: that problem?

313
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 1: Right, that is amazing.

314
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 5: Next logical move, Yeah, exactly what else are you gonna do?

315
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 5: And finally from the Babalon b support.

316
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 4: For police skyrockets after they start shooting journalists.

317
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 2: No, no, what is this the third world that's responsible?

318
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 1: We read that two.

319
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 2: I have a meeting'll be we need to have a meeting.

320
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:18,879
Speaker 2: That's what would fix it. We have more news of

321
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 2: the day, Stay tuned, Armstrong and Getty.

322
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 6: The age issue is becoming a growing concern, especially for

323
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 6: Democrats in Congress. Six House Democrats have died in office

324
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:37,159
Speaker 6: just since last April twenty twenty four. Five of the

325
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:40,159
Speaker 6: six who died and maybe they rest in peace, but

326
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:42,160
Speaker 6: five of the six were in their seventies and eighties.

327
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 6: The aging Congress, what many refer to as a gerontocracy,

328
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 6: is our new normal right now in Congress, one hundred

329
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 6: and twenty members of Congress are seventy years old or older.

330
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 6: That's more than twenty percent more than any other previous Congress.

331
00:17:56,600 --> 00:18:00,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, we live longer. I mean there's that, sure,

332
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,440
Speaker 2: but half a dozen have croaked in office in the

333
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:09,239
Speaker 2: last year, he said, boy, fifth or over seventy. How

334
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 2: old do you have to be a congressperson.

335
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:16,159
Speaker 1: An adult? Oh no, e liket a twelve year old?

336
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 2: I think again, so anybody, And and not that I

337
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:21,680
Speaker 2: don't think that has anything to do with it.

338
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 1: Is it the whole.

339
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:30,440
Speaker 2: Uh get you get the office and you just hang

340
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:32,400
Speaker 2: on to the office and you're voting for their whole

341
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:38,360
Speaker 2: staff who just keeps thing running mostly and uh.

342
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:38,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, they go to hund raisers. Is that what it's

343
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 1: all about? Yeah? I think being a congress person to

344
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 1: be a pain in the high I would know. I'd

345
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 1: love to be a US Senator. I would. I don't

346
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 1: think i'd take the job a US congressman if it

347
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:49,359
Speaker 1: was given to me. Yeah.

348
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:51,440
Speaker 2: I mean you've you've got to raise money all the time,

349
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 2: and you've made plenty of money on your insider trading.

350
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 1: Yeah through the years. H Yeah.

351
00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:59,200
Speaker 2: I guess that the party just convinced you to hang

352
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 2: onto the seat because it's it's impossible to boot an

353
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 2: incumbent out and you like the perks. Happy Birthday to

354
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 2: the Army two hundred and fifty years old this week,

355
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 2: and Donald Trump's at Fort Bragg given a big speech

356
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 2: today about that.

357
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 1: The US Army is two hundred and fifty.

358
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 2: Excellent, Happy birthday all soldiers and Army fans. So a

359
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 2: couple of stories from across the fruit plane that are

360
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 2: not about violence in Los Angeles, which we'll get back to,

361
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,879
Speaker 2: but are absolutely worth updating you on. I won't go

362
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 2: off on a screen, but it's disturbing the extent to

363
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:36,119
Speaker 2: which America's law schools have swung left, I mean way left,

364
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:40,959
Speaker 2: a lot of them, and you see the fruit of

365
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 2: that in things like this the f Do you remember

366
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:48,879
Speaker 2: the big judge election in Wisconsin that Elon Musk weighed

367
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:50,399
Speaker 2: in on and raised a bunch of money for the

368
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 2: conservative and he got shellacked. And so because they have

369
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 2: Supreme Court elections in Wisconsin and now they have a

370
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:04,200
Speaker 2: four to three liberal majority there, well, they ruled against

371
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 2: a Catholic charity's nonprofit. It had to do with tax

372
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:11,360
Speaker 2: exemption and who gets it. Okay, I won't get into

373
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 2: the facts of the case, doesn't really matter, but the

374
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 2: Wisconsin Supreme Court said no, you don't get your tax exemption.

375
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:23,399
Speaker 2: Sonia sort of Mayor wrote the nine to decision for

376
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 2: the Supreme Court overturning the Wisconsin Supreme Court and administered

377
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:32,400
Speaker 2: a firm handed Scotus spanking to.

378
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 1: Their utterly ridiculous, ridiculous ruling.

379
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:37,119
Speaker 2: There needs to be some sort of law that if

380
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 2: you get overturned nine nothing by the u Supreme Court,

381
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:43,400
Speaker 2: you have to disband that lower court and start over.

382
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:45,440
Speaker 1: Or you're on double secret probation.

383
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 2: And if it happens a second time, yeah, you gonna

384
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 2: mind your p's and q's. The state court, well, I

385
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:55,879
Speaker 2: won't read you what the state court held. But just

386
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 2: as Soto Mayor writes in her opinion for the Unanimous

387
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 2: Revere Soul that if a state law treats two religious

388
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 2: soup kitchens differently depending on the amount of prayer and

389
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:10,360
Speaker 2: proselytizing before lunch, that's a violation of the First Amendment,

390
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 2: because they essentially said, yeah, this Catholic charity isn't doing

391
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:16,359
Speaker 2: enough Catholic stuff to earn their tax exemption. They're just

392
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 2: doing kind of general charitable work. But she says, this

393
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:23,920
Speaker 2: is soda. Mayor, it is fundamental to our constitutional order

394
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 2: that the government maintained neutrality between religion and religion. There

395
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 2: may be hard calls to make in policing that rule,

396
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:34,360
Speaker 2: but this is not one wow yeah again nine nothing decisions.

397
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:36,160
Speaker 2: You have to disband the lower court. That's a new

398
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 2: I want that in the constitution. Yeah, no, kidding. The

399
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,359
Speaker 2: Wall Street Journal editorial board summarizes with don't expect this

400
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:46,640
Speaker 2: nine oh SmackDown to temper the unrestrained ambitions of Wisconsin's

401
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:49,120
Speaker 2: four left wing justices. But in the debate to come,

402
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 2: keep in mind how they're mangling of religious liberty, lost

403
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,720
Speaker 2: even justice Soda Mayor. By the way, we'll get back

404
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:56,920
Speaker 2: to the biggest story in America over the last four days.

405
00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 2: Coming up kickoff hour two, We're going to talk to

406
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 2: a California congress and Republican who's a hardcore against the

407
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:05,199
Speaker 2: lack of order in Los Angeles.

408
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:08,119
Speaker 1: Fabulous Kevin Kylie. So we'll get back into that. But

409
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 1: I was just reading this.

410
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 2: Tim Sanderfer retweeted, if you think it's a good idea

411
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 2: to protest deportation by waving the flag of the country

412
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 2: you don't want to live in or be deported to,

413
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 2: you're a political idiot. Yes, I would agree, you left

414
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 2: that country in some cases you really really don't want

415
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 2: to go back, then, don't.

416
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 1: Wave that flag. That'd be my suggestion. Yeah.

417
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, So getting back kind of sort of to the

418
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:39,200
Speaker 2: law school theme, but just kind of sort of during

419
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:46,160
Speaker 2: the whole woke apocalypse, we ought to have a term

420
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 2: for the post George Floyd period of time where everything

421
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:56,239
Speaker 2: that was left the extremist, A lot of people were

422
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 2: afraid to even argue against you sat there and took

423
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:03,920
Speaker 2: your you're a racist training at work. You said, yes,

424
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:07,359
Speaker 2: that obvious man is a woman and should be in

425
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:10,439
Speaker 2: women's sports if he is a woman, for fear of

426
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:13,439
Speaker 2: backlash because the left was on the front foot and

427
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:17,919
Speaker 2: just whoop an ass wow. Rough that period roughly twenty

428
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:23,960
Speaker 2: nineteen to Trump's election will be a period that historians

429
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 2: do need to put a name on it. I mean,

430
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:34,960
Speaker 2: that was all woke, George Floyd, COVID Trump, January sixth insurrection,

431
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 2: all the craziness of the twenty four election all.

432
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 1: I mean, that's all got to fit.

433
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:45,159
Speaker 2: Into a period because the whole thing inflation that I

434
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,640
Speaker 2: don't know what they're gonna call it, but it's it's

435
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:48,640
Speaker 2: a period of time to.

436
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:50,879
Speaker 1: Have lived through, no doubt, as we all know, that's funny.

437
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:51,880
Speaker 1: It just clicked into my head.

438
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 2: I refer to it over and over again in kind

439
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 2: of cumbersome ways, and I need a quick summarration summation.

440
00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:00,440
Speaker 2: Does anybody have a suggestion. You can email us bag

441
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 2: at Armstrong and geddy dot com. Maybe we'll squeeze it

442
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 2: into a mailbag coming up of the he deserves a

443
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:08,360
Speaker 2: name that period nineteen through twenty four, like the Great Depression,

444
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:13,479
Speaker 2: It deserves a name, the wocopolyps. That's kind of cumbersome anyway.

445
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:17,879
Speaker 2: So all of this was along a side or along

446
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 2: setup to the fact that some absolutely fundamental principles that

447
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:30,200
Speaker 2: nobody has ever argued with suddenly became taboo to say,

448
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 2: like working hard is white supremacy, and showing up on

449
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 2: time and blah blah blah, and the idea of the

450
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 2: best person gets the job is evil and that obvious

451
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:44,200
Speaker 2: man is a woman. I mean, just just the most

452
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:48,159
Speaker 2: fundamental truths of humankind were suddenly you weren't supposed to

453
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:51,360
Speaker 2: say them. We continued to Perhaps you remember that anyway,

454
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:59,080
Speaker 2: one of those true true truisms is that meritocracy is

455
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 2: what should run virtually everything.

456
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 1: I'm huge on that. I've been saying that forever.

457
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:06,680
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, I love what Jordan Peterson said once.

458
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:09,639
Speaker 2: He said, Look, the job of the left, or the

459
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 2: job of the right, is to make sure meritocracy endoors,

460
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:15,200
Speaker 2: because we need that in every.

461
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 1: Profession, every walk of life.

462
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:18,479
Speaker 2: The job of the left is to make sure at

463
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:21,720
Speaker 2: the bottom of that ladder there is fairness. People are

464
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 2: not stopped impeded from getting on that ladder. And I

465
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 2: think that's absolutely true. Having said that, where you have

466
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:33,639
Speaker 2: a story about like great Britain class system, where families

467
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:37,639
Speaker 2: stay in that upper tier forever and it's very hard

468
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 2: to move tears.

469
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:40,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was just.

470
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, just had a conversation about that last night, the

471
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 2: British legal system specifically.

472
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 1: But anyway, So here is this guy.

473
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:50,199
Speaker 2: He began his first final examine law school and the

474
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:53,639
Speaker 2: classroom was half empty. There are maybe sixty seventy people

475
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:56,639
Speaker 2: in our big group. At least thirty of them were missing.

476
00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 2: He was at Pepperdine Caruso School Law in Malibu, California's

477
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 2: summer twenty three. It was what we call a racehorse exam.

478
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:04,680
Speaker 2: He said, of the final it's pretty guarantee that you're

479
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 2: not going to finish, but you have to move as

480
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 2: fast as possible and rack up as many points as

481
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:12,920
Speaker 2: you can. My daughter just went through this five weeks ago.

482
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:16,640
Speaker 2: He later learned that the absent students weren't running late.

483
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 2: They would be completing the exam separately using extended time,

484
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 2: a testing accommodation that the Americans with Disabilities Act require

485
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:27,919
Speaker 2: schools to make available for students with conditions that impair

486
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:31,880
Speaker 2: major life activities like learning, reading, and concentrating. So those

487
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 2: students usually receive one and a half or twice the

488
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:39,359
Speaker 2: standard testing time, which in law school can mean up

489
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:45,439
Speaker 2: to four extra hours, and according to multiple Pepperdine students,

490
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 2: more than a third of the school's law students now

491
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:51,920
Speaker 2: received testing accommodations, the most common of which is extended time.

492
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:56,120
Speaker 2: Everybody has a note signed by somebody that says, yeah,

493
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:59,440
Speaker 2: Jimmy has trouble concentrated when I don't know the lights

494
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 2: are on and so and so everybody gets extended time.

495
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:05,880
Speaker 2: I know I'm in this world enough to know you'd

496
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:09,240
Speaker 2: never get turned down for some sort of ADHD or

497
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:14,159
Speaker 2: add or anxiety or anything that something. So law schools

498
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:16,680
Speaker 2: don't disclose their rates of accommodations, but a twenty three

499
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 2: organ Law Review paper reports data on public law schools

500
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:23,239
Speaker 2: obtained through state public record laws. And this is in

501
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:27,959
Speaker 2: twenty twenty one, before the post COVID rise in disability accommodations.

502
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,440
Speaker 1: Okay, this is the lower rate.

503
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:32,879
Speaker 2: It was like twenty two percent at the University of

504
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:37,480
Speaker 2: California in San Francisco, twenty six percent, you see, Irvine,

505
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:38,240
Speaker 2: et cetera, et cetera.

506
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:40,160
Speaker 1: Here's my deal.

507
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 2: And as the father of an autistic daughter, for instance,

508
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:50,120
Speaker 2: I am one hundred percent in favor of us as

509
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:54,120
Speaker 2: a society finding ways to make sure people who have

510
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:58,680
Speaker 2: struggles and special needs get an education. I am crazy,

511
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:04,119
Speaker 2: staunchly enthusiastic in favor of that. But I don't think

512
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:07,680
Speaker 2: my beloved daughter, Kate, who I think about every hour

513
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 2: of every day of my life, I don't think she

514
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 2: should be shoehorned into say, you know, Pepperdine law. Well,

515
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 2: I can look at it this way, because I got

516
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:20,480
Speaker 2: a kid that's on all kinds of medications.

517
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's ever gonna get through school.

518
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 2: But you can't change the law school so that he

519
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:34,920
Speaker 2: can become a lawyer, right, or you've fundamentally.

520
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 1: Changed what a degree from that law school.

521
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 2: Means yeah, because if you get out in the world

522
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 2: and you're practicing law, Like if I need a lawyer

523
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:43,680
Speaker 2: for whatever I'm doing, I can't say now this lawyer,

524
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 2: this lawyer, it'll take you three days to get your

525
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 2: paperwork done. Now this lawyer, because they have ADHD in anxiety,

526
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:52,680
Speaker 2: it's going to be a month.

527
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 1: I mean, what right? What? That doesn't make any sense? Well,

528
00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 1: and you put it beautifully.

529
00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 2: I mean that illustrates the fundaments until departure from what

530
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 2: is obviously true. One of those COVID, Floyd woll apocalypse,

531
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 2: you know, things that happened. And again, I want programs.

532
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:15,240
Speaker 2: I want people who need extra time to be able

533
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 2: to get a law degree. But we've got to have excellence,

534
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 2: and we've got to have places where excellence is the

535
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 2: only standard.

536
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 1: And then when that standards met, we know there was.

537
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 2: Excellence there, not excellence plus double time. Because the family

538
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 2: doctor who's an old family friend went ahead wrote a

539
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 2: note for a little Johnny so you could have a

540
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 2: leg up. I mean, come on, you got a third

541
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 2: of the freaking students. Wow, elite law schools, it's ridiculous.

542
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 2: Get back to meritocracy. Man, At what point are you

543
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 2: not a good parent because you didn't get your kid

544
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 2: one of these notes that helps him gets through everything.

545
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:54,239
Speaker 2: I mean, at some point across the line, we got

546
00:29:54,320 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 2: Joe's mailbag on the waist. Here come up a lot

547
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:04,760
Speaker 2: in social media and podcasts. I listened to the whole

548
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:09,680
Speaker 2: January sixth insurrection versus the Trump's been calling it an

549
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 2: insurrection in Los Angeles. So maybe we'll get into that

550
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:15,440
Speaker 2: a little bit later. That's exciting, thorny stuff. Oh and

551
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:18,200
Speaker 2: could anger everyone. You walk away from it with not

552
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:18,720
Speaker 2: a friend.

553
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:20,240
Speaker 1: Super great.

554
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 2: Here's your freedom loving quote of the day from Lewis brandeis,

555
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 2: Supreme Court justice with whom I had many disagreements, as

556
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:30,080
Speaker 2: I recall studying his term.

557
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 1: But he said this, and I think it's good. It's great.

558
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 2: Those who won our independence valued liberty as an end end,

559
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 2: as a means. They believed liberty to be the secret

560
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:43,240
Speaker 2: of happiness and courage to be the secret of liberty.

561
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 1: That's pretty good.

562
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 2: Liberty is the secret of happiness, and courage is the

563
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 2: secret of liberty.

564
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 1: I wonder if the.

565
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 2: Words when liberty comes up in your average school career

566
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:54,600
Speaker 2: at all.

567
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 1: In a public school at this point.

568
00:30:56,840 --> 00:31:00,480
Speaker 2: Oh no, I would guess it does not to praise

569
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 2: for the Founding fathers, the principles of the founding How

570
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 2: did we get our culture, our government?

571
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:08,480
Speaker 1: I'll bet I'll bet they don't.

572
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, soil by a brave queer people of color

573
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 2: overcoming white supremacy or something.

574
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:21,800
Speaker 1: White right old men for sayings and they're evils.

575
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 2: Drop us a note, mail bag at Armstrong and geddy

576
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:27,120
Speaker 2: dot com if you'd like, Can I keep it briefish?

577
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 2: If you can, mail bag at Armstrong a geddy dot com.

578
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:35,240
Speaker 2: What do you call the madness from twenty nineteen to

579
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four ideas pouring in? Craig says, call it

580
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 2: the great Deception? Let's see Jimmy Sokel, Yes, go ahead.

581
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:49,360
Speaker 2: How about the label Wokemageddon?

582
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:51,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, there is that. I mean that was a big

583
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 1: part of it.

584
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 2: I was just thinking all the all encompassing everything, COVID, woke, inflation,

585
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:03,840
Speaker 2: Biden too old to be president. I mean that is

586
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 2: like the sixties, which was a whole bunch of different things,

587
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 2: the late sixties just all in one little period of time.

588
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 2: It was a hell of thing to live through. I

589
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 2: hope it's over. As you can see from Los Angeles,

590
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:17,400
Speaker 2: it might not actually be over. Yes, Senile Biden, I

591
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 2: think is outside of what I'm gonna mention. But the COVID,

592
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 2: the damage done by COVID, other than the disease, the

593
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 2: damage done by the government crackdown was absolutely of the

594
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:34,719
Speaker 2: radical left, trampling on people's liberties. But if you're of

595
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 2: a certain age and you went through like the nineties

596
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 2: were like nothing happened. I mean, the idea, an assassination attempt,

597
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 2: a couple president of senile, inflation, just all these things.

598
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:49,000
Speaker 1: What a crazy four years?

599
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, no kidding, more ideas, Hawk says, the roaring twenties.

600
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 2: Or conversely, PF post Floyd the time that government weaponized

601
00:32:57,600 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 2: public opinion.

602
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:00,840
Speaker 1: I look for things that make me go, oh yeah.

603
00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:04,120
Speaker 2: And during that period of time, everybody lost faith in

604
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 2: the judicial branch and.

605
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 1: All of the media.

606
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:11,960
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, as ordered well yeah, on both sides of

607
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 2: the isle.

608
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:12,520
Speaker 1: Yeah.

609
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:16,840
Speaker 2: Call it America's second suicide attempt, writes Tithe first was

610
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 2: the late sixties.

611
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:19,720
Speaker 1: According to historian Paul Johnson.

612
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 2: That's a good one American suicide attempt.

613
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:23,280
Speaker 1: Wow.

614
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 2: Brian in Nevada says, call it the national aneurism. All right, Okay,

615
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:33,960
Speaker 2: we'll do. Uh, let's see. Eric says, call it Obama's

616
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:34,640
Speaker 2: third term.

617
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 1: Wow.

618
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 2: Not sure that's as descriptive as I'd like. What do

619
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 2: we have Michael a minute? This is an unbelievable note

620
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:49,160
Speaker 2: from a frequent correspondent, Jess in Wiley, Texas. Dog walking

621
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 2: is a clear crime, Iran's latest morality push. Yeah, it's

622
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:57,640
Speaker 2: actual coverage of there's a fatwah against dog walking in

623
00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 2: Iran because it's seen having dogs is seen as Western

624
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:05,560
Speaker 2: because the Koran says dogs are unclean and blah blah

625
