WEBVTT - I'm Like A Bull Moose! 0:00:02.120 --> 0:00:06.400 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:06.480 --> 0:00:10.520 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe, Katty. 0:00:10.440 --> 0:00:17.520 Armstrong and and he Armstrong and Eddy. 0:00:24.160 --> 0:00:28.400 Protests here in Minneapolis are peaceful. We had I don't know, 0:00:28.480 --> 0:00:32.800 ten thousand or so people that were protesting and marching yesterday, 0:00:32.960 --> 0:00:37.879 and virtually all of it was very peaceful expression of 0:00:37.960 --> 0:00:49.320 First Amendment rights. 0:00:54.720 --> 0:00:58.240 You're you're back, You're back, You're back. 0:00:58.280 --> 0:01:02.800 Yes, Mayor Fry explaining how everything's peaceful and fine, and 0:01:02.840 --> 0:01:06.240 then natural sound from the streets where chaos and anger 0:01:06.280 --> 0:01:09.840 and violence was raining. Yeah. 0:01:09.840 --> 0:01:11.720 I don't like the direction this stuff is going. 0:01:15.400 --> 0:01:19.039 Uh, and don't you assume it's going to get worse 0:01:19.040 --> 0:01:21.440 than there's going to be more of these, That's what 0:01:21.480 --> 0:01:22.080 I I. 0:01:22.160 --> 0:01:25.280 Don't see anything that would indicate otherwise. 0:01:26.160 --> 0:01:28.240 So anyway, I wish I had the name of who 0:01:28.959 --> 0:01:33.120 tweeted this out pretty good. I'm sorry, I can't give 0:01:33.160 --> 0:01:37.840 you your name, whoever tweeted this. I'm a mother, so 0:01:37.880 --> 0:01:40.880 I'm going to comment right now. I will say this 0:01:41.000 --> 0:01:43.399 exactly the way a mother thinks it raw, direct and 0:01:43.440 --> 0:01:47.080 without pretending this is complicated. A thirty seven year old woman, 0:01:47.160 --> 0:01:49.920 three kids, middle of a work week. The father of 0:01:49.960 --> 0:01:53.160 those children is dead. She's the only parent left. The 0:01:53.200 --> 0:01:55.840 one job she has above every cause, every protest, every 0:01:55.840 --> 0:01:57.280 headline is getting home door kids. 0:01:57.520 --> 0:01:59.880 What's she doing instead? She's out of state. 0:02:00.240 --> 0:02:03.320 Other reports claim she lives there in the street, inner car, 0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:05.520 blocking federal agents who are doing their job. 0:02:05.880 --> 0:02:06.400 Not alone. 0:02:06.480 --> 0:02:08.840 Her partner is right there filming her like this is 0:02:08.880 --> 0:02:13.120 some brave little documentary moment around them, sirens blaring, people yelling, 0:02:13.160 --> 0:02:16.960 pure chaos, manufactured chaos so agents can't do their lawful job. 0:02:17.320 --> 0:02:18.200 Her window is down. 0:02:18.240 --> 0:02:21.840 She hears the orders, she understands the orders, She ignores 0:02:21.880 --> 0:02:24.800 the orders. She then puts the car in reverse, still 0:02:24.840 --> 0:02:27.720 doesn't comply. Then she puts it in drive, not park. 0:02:28.160 --> 0:02:31.480 She moves forward into the agent. That's not confusion, that's 0:02:31.520 --> 0:02:35.840 not panic. That's decision after decision after decision. Now put 0:02:35.880 --> 0:02:38.400 yourself in the agent's shoes for half a second. A 0:02:38.480 --> 0:02:41.799 driver is already in an unlawful act, refusing commands in 0:02:41.840 --> 0:02:45.400 a hostile, chaotic, loud scene, and now the driver uses 0:02:45.440 --> 0:02:47.959 a vehicle to move toward you. You gotta split second. 0:02:47.960 --> 0:02:50.239 You don't get the luxury of maybe she's just stressed. 0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:52.400 You have to assume the worst. You have to think 0:02:52.520 --> 0:02:55.160 of protecting other people, like the partner at the window, 0:02:55.440 --> 0:02:58.520 because if you assume the best and you're wrong, you 0:02:58.520 --> 0:03:00.400 don't get to go home, or someone else doesn't get 0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:02.720 to go home. So the agent fires after she makes 0:03:02.720 --> 0:03:05.240 an intentional and aggressive move toward him, because he has 0:03:05.280 --> 0:03:08.160 no idea what her intentions are, and she just demonstrated 0:03:08.200 --> 0:03:11.800 she's willing to escalate. Now, imagine her three kids at school, 0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:14.359 sitting there like any other day, not knowing their mother 0:03:14.480 --> 0:03:17.000 is out playing street hero games for criminals in the 0:03:17.040 --> 0:03:19.480 middle of a work week, with the two adults responsible 0:03:19.520 --> 0:03:21.880 for them. She didn't think about them. She didn't think 0:03:21.880 --> 0:03:24.000 if I get arrested, who picks my babies up? She 0:03:24.000 --> 0:03:26.160 didn't think if I get hurt, who raises them. She 0:03:26.200 --> 0:03:28.799 didn't think if I die, they'd have nobody. She thought 0:03:28.800 --> 0:03:32.200 about protecting the criminals. I guess she's talking about the 0:03:32.600 --> 0:03:36.800 illegals in this case. Yeah, she thought about interfering with 0:03:36.840 --> 0:03:39.080 federal agents. She thought about the cameras, She thought about 0:03:39.120 --> 0:03:42.240 the crowd, She thought about the moment. There's no amount 0:03:42.280 --> 0:03:45.080 of evidence, money, tears on TV or news spin that 0:03:45.120 --> 0:03:47.840 can make this make sense as a mother, nothing about 0:03:47.840 --> 0:03:48.840 this makes sense. 0:03:50.280 --> 0:03:55.800 Well, and she left out the smug glee that both 0:03:55.880 --> 0:03:59.040 the dead woman and her partner were showing how much 0:03:59.080 --> 0:04:02.880 they were enjoying all of it. Oh yeah, man speaks 0:04:03.040 --> 0:04:06.600 really to the psychology and the lack of grounding in 0:04:06.720 --> 0:04:08.680 reality their activities. 0:04:08.680 --> 0:04:11.320 They're LARPing, they're live action role playing. The grounding and 0:04:11.400 --> 0:04:12.120 reality is right. 0:04:12.160 --> 0:04:14.600 The way her partner is asking, come on, big boy, 0:04:14.640 --> 0:04:15.520 you better get a sandwich. 0:04:15.560 --> 0:04:16.440 You're gonna be here a while. 0:04:17.160 --> 0:04:20.680 That is never the way you should be dealing with 0:04:20.800 --> 0:04:25.040 people who have guns and the ability to kill you 0:04:25.080 --> 0:04:28.320 if things go sideways. I mean, no smart person does that. 0:04:28.400 --> 0:04:30.720 I mean, go back and watch the Civil rights era. 0:04:31.600 --> 0:04:35.200 People who are up against you know, authority, bad authority. 0:04:35.200 --> 0:04:38.480 In this case, they didn't talk that way, and they 0:04:38.520 --> 0:04:41.799 talked in measured tones about their what they're trying to accomplish, 0:04:41.839 --> 0:04:43.320 and why they were on the right side. 0:04:43.560 --> 0:04:45.440 You don't do that, Hey, big boy, you better get 0:04:45.440 --> 0:04:47.200 yourself a lunch. You're gonna be here a while. 0:04:47.560 --> 0:04:50.160 That's you better feed that German shepherd if he's gonna 0:04:50.200 --> 0:04:50.880 come and bite me. 0:04:51.240 --> 0:04:53.719 No, you didn't hear. No, that's a dumb way to 0:04:53.760 --> 0:04:54.680 handle this. Situation. 0:04:55.520 --> 0:04:58.680 Back to this briefly, as a mother, nothing about this 0:04:58.800 --> 0:05:00.960 makes sense at minimum machine where actions could get her 0:05:01.040 --> 0:05:04.880 arrested at minimum, and she still chose it. She chose strangers, 0:05:04.920 --> 0:05:10.479 she chose chaos, she chose lawlessness. I agree, man, what 0:05:10.640 --> 0:05:14.880 kind of belief do you haven't a cause where you're 0:05:14.920 --> 0:05:17.240 willing to go to that length where well, I might 0:05:17.240 --> 0:05:20.000 spend the next couple of days in jail at like 0:05:20.240 --> 0:05:22.920 best when I got a couple of kids, though. 0:05:23.040 --> 0:05:24.360 How am I going to live my life? 0:05:24.640 --> 0:05:25.680 This is nuts? 0:05:25.920 --> 0:05:29.080 Who does that? Hardcore activists? 0:05:30.120 --> 0:05:33.560 You're weird. Just because your hardcore doesn't mean you're right. 0:05:34.800 --> 0:05:38.359 I think it's worth throwing in this from the extremely 0:05:38.600 --> 0:05:42.800 reasonable definitely not very trumpy, Sarah is ger I thought 0:05:42.800 --> 0:05:44.760 this was important forty six please, Michael. 0:05:45.240 --> 0:05:48.560 Fifteen percent or so of in the line deaths are 0:05:48.560 --> 0:05:53.120 caused by cars. Every officer is trained to avoid the 0:05:53.240 --> 0:05:56.240 danger of a vehicle. There's no question you shouldn't have 0:05:56.240 --> 0:05:58.279 been in front of that vehicle at that time. But 0:05:58.520 --> 0:06:00.599 the Supreme Court has also said we look to the 0:06:00.640 --> 0:06:04.200 totality of circumstances, including the fact that in that moment 0:06:04.400 --> 0:06:06.920 he was in front of the vehicle, as that vehicle 0:06:07.000 --> 0:06:11.240 is moving so legally. I think it is a relatively 0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:13.320 clear case once it gets to federal court. 0:06:13.880 --> 0:06:21.599 Wow of assault with a deadly weapon, Yeah, yeah. And 0:06:21.640 --> 0:06:27.719 the whole she's there to support criminals. There's people being 0:06:27.960 --> 0:06:30.919 drug off by ICE agents and situations that I don't 0:06:30.960 --> 0:06:36.719 find good. I mean, originally when this whole started, the 0:06:36.720 --> 0:06:38.440 thing started, it was the idea of we got a 0:06:38.440 --> 0:06:40.760 bunch of rapists and murderers and all kinds of law 0:06:40.800 --> 0:06:43.160 breakers here, gang bangers, gang bangers, that we need to 0:06:43.160 --> 0:06:46.159 get out of the country here illegally. Almost everybody's for that, 0:06:46.640 --> 0:06:49.920 and then it comes down to are we going to 0:06:50.200 --> 0:06:53.000 arrest people who their only crime is there here illegally? 0:06:53.080 --> 0:06:55.640 Some of you agree, Man, that gets that gets pretty 0:06:55.720 --> 0:06:59.960 ugly pretty fast, since we've baked it into our societies 0:07:00.040 --> 0:07:01.520 so much over so many decades. 0:07:02.880 --> 0:07:05.599 Well, and as we've discussed earlier in the show, to 0:07:05.760 --> 0:07:11.240 do it with maximum confrontation and abrasiveness, as opposed to, 0:07:12.200 --> 0:07:14.520 you know, President Joe Getty would say, all right, let's 0:07:14.520 --> 0:07:18.960 accomplish this with as little like stirring up resistance as 0:07:19.000 --> 0:07:22.920 we can. Let's do this quietly and in a dignified way, 0:07:23.200 --> 0:07:27.080 because that way we'll be more effective. But instead and 0:07:27.120 --> 0:07:30.880 the Trump administration, Trump himself likes to whip things up. 0:07:31.280 --> 0:07:32.320 He enjoys that. 0:07:32.560 --> 0:07:35.920 But man, not helping the whole activist crowd thing that, 0:07:36.920 --> 0:07:39.040 you know, kind of old joke that we do on 0:07:39.080 --> 0:07:41.880 the right of You know, we all can't protest because 0:07:41.880 --> 0:07:44.720 we all have jobs or kids to raise. We don't 0:07:44.760 --> 0:07:46.400 have time to go down there and do that. Here's 0:07:46.440 --> 0:07:48.880 somebody who has kids to raise, had things to do. 0:07:50.040 --> 0:07:52.320 I can't even imagine. I got so many. 0:07:52.080 --> 0:07:53.960 Things to do with a couple of kids today in 0:07:54.040 --> 0:07:55.440 my job. I know what I'll do. 0:07:55.480 --> 0:07:57.720 I'll go put myself in a position where I'm likely 0:07:57.760 --> 0:08:00.000 to get arrested and have to go through that whole hassle. 0:08:00.120 --> 0:08:02.040 I mean another state, so I'm a long way away 0:08:02.040 --> 0:08:03.840 from my family anyway. 0:08:03.440 --> 0:08:04.440 Who good does that? 0:08:05.600 --> 0:08:07.960 You know, your point about the civil rights movement and 0:08:07.960 --> 0:08:10.880 how you never saw that sort of smugness and taunting 0:08:11.000 --> 0:08:13.720 and all. That's because I think that goes back to 0:08:13.760 --> 0:08:18.640 the whole question of LARPing. They were playing the brave revolutionary, 0:08:19.120 --> 0:08:23.200 but on their face it wasn't like a give me 0:08:23.280 --> 0:08:27.080 liberty or give me death sort of transcendent courage. It 0:08:27.160 --> 0:08:31.559 was that they the two gals, thought they won't do anything. Right, 0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:33.480 we get to do this all day long and nobody 0:08:33.520 --> 0:08:35.920 will ever do anything, so we can have it both ways. 0:08:36.040 --> 0:08:38.880 You know what. It like the brave campus revolutionaries. 0:08:39.000 --> 0:08:43.680 It reminds me of, on a much stupider level, the 0:08:43.720 --> 0:08:47.120 people who taught athletes at games because they think they 0:08:47.160 --> 0:08:49.560 can't do anything to me. So I can say absolutely 0:08:49.600 --> 0:08:52.880 anything I want to this guy russe celebrities. I can 0:08:52.960 --> 0:08:56.360 say anything I want because they can't and pretend that 0:08:56.440 --> 0:08:59.080 I'm such a tough guy. I'll get in the face 0:08:59.120 --> 0:09:01.440 of a six foot four inch two hundred and forty 0:09:01.440 --> 0:09:04.880 pounds linebacker and telling me sucks at his job because 0:09:04.920 --> 0:09:05.920 I'm sitting here safe. 0:09:06.040 --> 0:09:10.160 He can't do anything. Yeah, yeah, you're right. It's similar week. 0:09:10.600 --> 0:09:17.640 It's a week it is. Indeed, we need more community organizers. 0:09:17.920 --> 0:09:20.200 Remember Barack Obama was that, and a lot of people 0:09:20.200 --> 0:09:22.880 would make jokes about that. We need more organizing in 0:09:22.960 --> 0:09:27.960 communities for causes and laws and legislation, the slow process 0:09:28.200 --> 0:09:30.640 of the way a democracy works. You don't like our 0:09:30.679 --> 0:09:33.360 immigration laws or the way things are. You got to organize. 0:09:33.360 --> 0:09:34.959 You got to get this all together. You got to vote, 0:09:34.960 --> 0:09:36.640 You got to vote people in who believe the same way, 0:09:36.720 --> 0:09:40.000 and over time you win the issue. Not I'm going 0:09:40.080 --> 0:09:42.040 to park my car in front of the agents so 0:09:42.080 --> 0:09:43.800 they can't do it and then. 0:09:44.080 --> 0:09:45.800 Berate them, right. 0:09:47.559 --> 0:09:51.280 Or or I mean, my god, at least you know 0:09:51.360 --> 0:09:55.480 it's misguided, it's stupid, it's dangerous, and it interferes with 0:09:55.559 --> 0:09:59.559 law enforcement. But at least it's not like the hashtag 0:09:59.600 --> 0:10:04.720 active some of the keyboard warrior who doesn't. 0:10:04.400 --> 0:10:06.840 Do anything or risk anything. 0:10:07.600 --> 0:10:11.600 But everybody is so desperate for a purpose for their lives. 0:10:12.240 --> 0:10:15.640 And this is absolutely and everybody knows this related to 0:10:15.720 --> 0:10:20.120 the going away of civic organizations and family, well, religion 0:10:20.200 --> 0:10:22.920 and family more than anything. If you don't have those 0:10:22.960 --> 0:10:25.920 things going for you're desperate for a purpose for your life, 0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:29.360 so you go find one and radicalize yourself, like the 0:10:29.400 --> 0:10:32.320 kids who end up shooting people. Talked about that at 0:10:32.400 --> 0:10:37.240 fear length. The fact that this gal had three kids. 0:10:37.280 --> 0:10:37.959 I think it was. 0:10:37.960 --> 0:10:41.360 By you know, a handful of different relationships. It doesn't matter, 0:10:41.520 --> 0:10:44.120 you know, life has its ups and downs. But the 0:10:44.160 --> 0:10:48.480 fact that she was still looking for a purpose in 0:10:48.520 --> 0:10:51.640 her life, and that purpose was I'm a radical lefty activist. 0:10:51.840 --> 0:10:52.439 You're right, it. 0:10:52.400 --> 0:10:57.120 Doesn't matter her situation with kids and a couple of 0:10:57.240 --> 0:11:00.000 dudes she married then became a lesbian, married a woman, 0:11:00.240 --> 0:11:01.200 or the fact that she's a poet. 0:11:01.240 --> 0:11:02.040 None of that matters. 0:11:02.360 --> 0:11:05.760 But if the media is gonna every single time they 0:11:05.800 --> 0:11:09.800 mention her name, say a mother of three, Okay, you're 0:11:09.840 --> 0:11:10.640 playing the game. 0:11:10.960 --> 0:11:11.600 You're trying to. 0:11:11.520 --> 0:11:13.360 Get sympathy out of this, Well, then I get to 0:11:13.400 --> 0:11:15.079 fill in some of the holes that make it not 0:11:15.160 --> 0:11:18.040 as sympathetic. Why do we leave it out because it's irrelevant. 0:11:18.120 --> 0:11:20.440 It's not relevant to whether whether or not the thrice 0:11:20.520 --> 0:11:24.200 married lesbian poets. Right, I don't think that's fair. But 0:11:24.240 --> 0:11:27.319 if you're gonna go with the mother of three, okay, you. 0:11:27.360 --> 0:11:31.040 Start magicling man, the little league coach, you started this game, 0:11:31.200 --> 0:11:31.840 or we could. 0:11:31.679 --> 0:11:33.199 Just leave it out because I don't get to. 0:11:33.200 --> 0:11:36.240 Shoot you just for no reason, no matter what, no 0:11:36.240 --> 0:11:39.160 matter how many marriages you have, whether you like poetry 0:11:39.240 --> 0:11:41.440 or not. You know what, I'm roilling to grant my 0:11:41.559 --> 0:11:44.480 favorite lesbian poets a couple of marriages, But once they 0:11:44.559 --> 0:11:47.040 hit that third one, I'm through with you. 0:11:47.200 --> 0:11:51.439 That's enough. You've tired me out, You've lost all gravitas. 0:11:52.600 --> 0:11:55.040 Sure, any thoughts on this text line four one five 0:11:55.080 --> 0:11:57.160 two nine five KFTC. 0:12:03.880 --> 0:12:06.840 Mayor Mom Donnie appointed in New York City's first lesbian, 0:12:07.040 --> 0:12:11.199 first ever lesbian fire chief. Finally they figured out a 0:12:11.240 --> 0:12:12.800 way to beat the cops at softball. 0:12:15.840 --> 0:12:16.160 Wow. 0:12:20.000 --> 0:12:23.960 Gutfeld's on the triggeronometry podcast, if anybody's familiar with that, 0:12:24.440 --> 0:12:28.679 talking about how many times they tried to cancel him 0:12:28.720 --> 0:12:30.720 and he finally just decided to do whatever he wanted 0:12:30.720 --> 0:12:34.319 and that's when he got mostly successful. But I might 0:12:34.360 --> 0:12:36.520 listen to that because he's an interesting story in terms 0:12:36.520 --> 0:12:37.840 of his show becoming popular. 0:12:38.559 --> 0:12:38.800 Yeah. 0:12:39.320 --> 0:12:42.280 Yeah, just came across this from Gallup Pole. 0:12:42.320 --> 0:12:45.640 This is pretty big. Gallup Pole shows that. 0:12:45.720 --> 0:12:49.640 Now almost half we're just on the cusp of half 0:12:49.679 --> 0:12:53.680 of Americans now identify as independent, not wanting to be 0:12:54.120 --> 0:12:56.960 called a Republican or a Democrat. The two parties are 0:12:56.960 --> 0:13:00.440 in a dead eight at twenty seven percent each. Half 0:13:00.520 --> 0:13:02.960 the countries like I don't want to be have my 0:13:03.080 --> 0:13:05.880 name attached with either one of those places. 0:13:06.120 --> 0:13:09.760 If I were to design a test case for the duopoly, 0:13:09.960 --> 0:13:13.840 that is the Democrats and Republicans in Washington, well across 0:13:13.880 --> 0:13:17.719 their whole country, practically this would be it. Let's make 0:13:17.760 --> 0:13:20.320 them less and less and less popular and see if 0:13:20.360 --> 0:13:23.200 anything new emerges, or if they can just hold on 0:13:23.280 --> 0:13:26.480 to power through the means that you know we've been 0:13:26.480 --> 0:13:28.360 talking about for a long time. I mean, wouldn't you 0:13:28.400 --> 0:13:33.319 think if it were like soft drinks or burger joints or. 0:13:33.559 --> 0:13:37.920 Virtually anything that, or even like freaking. 0:13:37.840 --> 0:13:41.760 Libraries, if you had a couple of them and they 0:13:41.840 --> 0:13:46.360 both sucked and nobody liked them, well, relatively speaking, nobody, 0:13:46.480 --> 0:13:49.600 wouldn't something new emerge in virtually every market. 0:13:49.640 --> 0:13:52.200 Well, let's stick with the library. Then can we do 0:13:52.280 --> 0:13:56.280 restaurants just because library? There's two restaurants. Yeah, half of 0:13:56.360 --> 0:14:03.760 people don't like either restaurant, but there are only two restaurants, 0:14:04.040 --> 0:14:06.480 and I do prefer one of the restaurants way more 0:14:06.520 --> 0:14:07.480 than the other restaurant. 0:14:07.960 --> 0:14:10.120 Sure, that's what the situation is. 0:14:10.440 --> 0:14:15.239 I mean, yeah, but no, no, no, I am slapping 0:14:15.320 --> 0:14:17.480 the meal of ignorance out of your. 0:14:17.400 --> 0:14:20.880 Hands as you attempted. I was enjoying the metaphor anyway. 0:14:21.560 --> 0:14:24.400 But here's the here's my question, here's what I'm driving in. 0:14:24.440 --> 0:14:27.680 I probably did it poorly, So you have that level 0:14:27.680 --> 0:14:31.840 of dissatisfaction with the two restaurants. Yet those two restaurants 0:14:31.960 --> 0:14:35.040 have a way to prevent any third restaurants. 0:14:35.120 --> 0:14:37.960 Yah, I'm making the assumption that there will not be 0:14:38.000 --> 0:14:40.200 more than two restaurants because that's just the way it is. 0:14:40.680 --> 0:14:43.000 How come that's just the way it is doesn't work? 0:14:43.040 --> 0:14:43.920 I mean, how. 0:14:44.000 --> 0:14:48.520 They worked the zoning laws or something like the way 0:14:49.000 --> 0:14:52.800 Republicans and Democrats have worked the congressional seats to where 0:14:52.840 --> 0:14:57.240 they guarantee something like ninety percent of them will stay 0:14:57.240 --> 0:14:59.040 in the hands of the hours of these and they 0:14:59.080 --> 0:15:01.520 fight over a tiny a portion of the others. 0:15:01.840 --> 0:15:04.800 And the exhausting laws for getting on the ballot in 0:15:04.840 --> 0:15:07.200 a lot of places. Yeah, those are both excellent places. Yeah, 0:15:07.200 --> 0:15:09.560 that's what I was driving at. Let's talk a little 0:15:09.560 --> 0:15:12.440 bit about the mechanisms they used to ensure that they're 0:15:12.480 --> 0:15:14.880 two sucky sucky parties continue in power. 0:15:15.120 --> 0:15:18.360 And I guess the part where we put up with 0:15:18.400 --> 0:15:21.280 it is that we call ourselves independence a lot of 0:15:21.320 --> 0:15:23.240 us because we don't want to be attached to the party. 0:15:23.360 --> 0:15:26.160 But I'm still gonna mostly vote that party because when 0:15:26.160 --> 0:15:28.440 it comes down to a binary choice, are you freaking 0:15:28.480 --> 0:15:28.880 getting me? 0:15:30.040 --> 0:15:30.800 You know what I'm gonna do. 0:15:30.840 --> 0:15:32.920 I'm gonna take to the streets and start blocking the 0:15:33.000 --> 0:15:34.200 vehicles of law enforcement. 0:15:34.240 --> 0:15:36.720 No, I'm not gonna do that because that's effing stupid. 0:15:37.080 --> 0:15:44.360 Yeah, well so, I don't know, But the smart people 0:15:44.400 --> 0:15:49.240 should spend time talking about what legislative reform could happen, 0:15:49.360 --> 0:15:52.440 or structural reform of some sort, because if you've got 0:15:52.440 --> 0:15:54.840 half the country that doesn't want to call itself either party, 0:15:55.080 --> 0:15:57.240 there should be a way to get a new restaurant. 0:15:57.440 --> 0:15:59.920 We shouldn't be choosing for the rest of our lives 0:16:00.160 --> 0:16:04.560 between fish and chicken because they rigged the system. 0:16:04.600 --> 0:16:07.160 If some of us want hamburgers, yes, and we do. 0:16:07.840 --> 0:16:10.960 Uh So, coming up, the Supreme Court is soon to 0:16:11.080 --> 0:16:13.840 unleash what I pray will be the bud. He's a 0:16:14.000 --> 0:16:20.280 dude ruling about transgender people in sports, the band of Famous, 0:16:20.360 --> 0:16:22.320 But that's a penis ruling. 0:16:22.800 --> 0:16:24.960 He's a dude doctrine. 0:16:25.920 --> 0:16:28.920 But when we come back from break, looking forward to this, 0:16:29.120 --> 0:16:31.840 a progressive congress person. 0:16:32.120 --> 0:16:34.520 Runs into the head of Customs. 0:16:34.080 --> 0:16:37.600 And Border Patrol in the Capitol and wants to have 0:16:37.640 --> 0:16:42.720 an argument about illegal immigration, and we'll have that jazzy 0:16:42.840 --> 0:16:43.280 back and. 0:16:43.200 --> 0:16:45.480 Forth for you and that Supreme Court. Things could be 0:16:45.520 --> 0:16:48.880 a big deal. Huh So, anybody got any brilliant thoughts. 0:16:48.960 --> 0:16:51.880 Yeah, I think it will absolutely and if it's not, 0:16:52.000 --> 0:16:55.320 I will be bitterly, bitterly disappointed. Does anybody have any 0:16:55.320 --> 0:16:59.120 brilliant thoughts on ending the duopoly of those two crappy restaurants? 0:16:59.680 --> 0:17:01.760 Male bag at Armstrong in geeddy dot com is the 0:17:01.800 --> 0:17:03.720 email address to think about it? Noodle it through? What 0:17:03.760 --> 0:17:05.760 to do about it? How do they ensure it? How 0:17:05.760 --> 0:17:07.720 do they keep it going? Whatever you want? Mail Bag 0:17:07.760 --> 0:17:08.960 at Armstrong in getty dot com. 0:17:09.000 --> 0:17:11.320 We need to get new zoning laws. We can get 0:17:11.320 --> 0:17:14.320 a burger joint up in here. That's what we need. Please, 0:17:14.320 --> 0:17:16.320 Oh my, hey, lots on the way. I hope you 0:17:16.320 --> 0:17:16.880 can stay. 0:17:16.680 --> 0:17:20.280 Here Armstrong and getdy. 0:17:21.680 --> 0:17:24.560 Elon just put out a really weird video on his 0:17:24.920 --> 0:17:25.639 twitter feed. 0:17:25.880 --> 0:17:27.720 I want to talk about that at some point. 0:17:28.880 --> 0:17:33.920 I kind of miss Elon, the wackydoodle provocateur. I mean, 0:17:33.960 --> 0:17:39.320 the tech giant is really interesting. The political crusader was 0:17:39.800 --> 0:17:44.280 an interesting chapter in his life, but I miss him 0:17:44.320 --> 0:17:45.879 just being the troll. 0:17:46.200 --> 0:17:49.920 Well, this is pretty provocative, suggesting boy, some sort of 0:17:50.040 --> 0:17:51.919 robot human romance thing is. 0:17:51.920 --> 0:17:54.920 A good idea. Oh boy, why don't we try it 0:17:54.960 --> 0:17:57.800 out on you first? You want? Huh? Thanks, get ready 0:17:57.840 --> 0:17:59.919 and they can wear it fast. Aim into that. 0:18:00.200 --> 0:18:04.720 So apparently in the Capitol the other day, congress Lady 0:18:04.880 --> 0:18:08.600 Sandra Feist too, where do we decide she's from Katie, 0:18:08.960 --> 0:18:13.040 Minnesota represents? Oh that's right, of course, yeah, yeah, appropriately enough. 0:18:13.040 --> 0:18:16.919 Who's at least feigning being fired up about the recent 0:18:16.960 --> 0:18:20.840 to uglandess ran into Dan Bovino? 0:18:21.200 --> 0:18:21.680 Is it Dan? 0:18:22.280 --> 0:18:24.840 I think so sorry, I'm addled with flu. I just 0:18:24.840 --> 0:18:26.320 got the flu shot and I feel kind of funky. 0:18:26.359 --> 0:18:30.240 But anyway, and ran into him and they started arguing 0:18:30.400 --> 0:18:34.400 about the immigration situation in general and the Minnesota deal 0:18:34.440 --> 0:18:35.560 and the rest of it. And I think it's kind 0:18:35.560 --> 0:18:39.119 of instructive for where people are in their opinions. But 0:18:39.200 --> 0:18:41.400 let's start with sixty four Michael, and we'll go from there. 0:18:41.600 --> 0:18:45.840 Why are you not arrested in criminals? Why are so 0:18:46.000 --> 0:18:48.119 few of the people that you have rousted and routine 0:18:48.160 --> 0:18:51.040 and reported people with the records. 0:18:50.720 --> 0:18:56.760 They're all from. They've almost the border illegally eighteen USC 0:18:56.800 --> 0:18:58.520 thirteen twenty five illegal entry. 0:18:59.359 --> 0:19:04.320 That's a federal Yes, that's so considered fule immigration enforcement. 0:19:05.680 --> 0:19:07.879 Okay, that's fun. You know, we can talk about that 0:19:07.920 --> 0:19:10.320 if you want. She got a bit of a voice 0:19:10.359 --> 0:19:13.480 to her, doesn't she? And it's Greg Bovino. Thank you 0:19:13.520 --> 0:19:17.960 for the clarification. Go on, folks, double digit drops and grime? 0:19:18.240 --> 0:19:20.960 You look have you looked at your statistics you don't 0:19:21.000 --> 0:19:24.400 care about for the last since we've been connecting kind 0:19:24.400 --> 0:19:29.120 of Yes, double digit drops and grime correlation not causation. 0:19:30.880 --> 0:19:33.399 When way there that does cause that? Well, I don't know, 0:19:33.480 --> 0:19:38.000 I saw, you don't know if the time was who 0:19:38.040 --> 0:19:38.879 is a stander? 0:19:39.440 --> 0:19:42.560 Don't drive a two thousand pounds missing and an ice agent. 0:19:42.640 --> 0:19:45.280 You won't have an outbum that you don't agree with represented. 0:19:46.600 --> 0:19:50.160 So I you know, I'm prejudiced because I agree with him, 0:19:50.200 --> 0:19:52.600 and I knew going in I would. But saying she 0:19:52.760 --> 0:19:56.560 was a bystander is brutally dishonest. 0:19:56.760 --> 0:20:02.159 I would say she was obviously a participant. Yeah, you know. 0:20:02.520 --> 0:20:06.440 A corollary to the Getty law that people don't make 0:20:06.760 --> 0:20:10.879 terrible arguments because they're really really good arguments are in 0:20:10.920 --> 0:20:14.440 the shower, or they're saving them for tomorrow. They make 0:20:14.480 --> 0:20:18.240 them because that's all they got. Well, the tangent to 0:20:18.320 --> 0:20:22.520 that would be people don't resist, don't resort, rather to 0:20:23.000 --> 0:20:29.600 ridiculously dishonest characterizations of a situation, because you know, just 0:20:29.680 --> 0:20:32.679 that they forgot what the honest characterization is. 0:20:32.880 --> 0:20:34.280 They do it because they have to. 0:20:34.640 --> 0:20:36.840 That's the only way they can make their point, or 0:20:37.200 --> 0:20:39.840 they that's the only hope they have to make their 0:20:39.840 --> 0:20:40.800 point successfully. 0:20:41.400 --> 0:20:43.520 Rolling on not that second Amendment. 0:20:43.840 --> 0:20:45.760 Well, I don't know if you heard, but we had 0:20:45.760 --> 0:20:48.159 a shooting in a school here in Minnesota recently, and 0:20:49.040 --> 0:20:51.760 this second Amendment, Well, I think that if we had 0:20:51.760 --> 0:20:54.760 some common sense gun but gun violence. 0:20:55.960 --> 0:20:59.160 Sense you well, yes, yes, exactly, And I think that's 0:20:59.160 --> 0:21:04.240 definitely the problem there. When you use that violent rhetoric 0:21:04.480 --> 0:21:07.480 around children. Yeah, i'd say that you probably are not 0:21:07.560 --> 0:21:09.119 exercising a lot on them since their. 0:21:09.000 --> 0:21:12.000 Representatives really well, all i've seen here in Minnesota is 0:21:12.040 --> 0:21:13.359 people dying and feeding. 0:21:13.240 --> 0:21:17.159 Children about the lives that are saved by guns. You 0:21:17.160 --> 0:21:19.920 don't talk about that yet. So is this one of 0:21:19.960 --> 0:21:21.200 those rorshot tests? 0:21:21.200 --> 0:21:24.000 If some of my progressive friends were listening to this, 0:21:24.040 --> 0:21:27.320
