Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe, Katty.
Speaker 2: Armstrong and and he Armstrong and Eddy.
Speaker 3: Protests here in Minneapolis are peaceful. We had I don't know,
Speaker 3: ten thousand or so people that were protesting and marching yesterday,
Speaker 3: and virtually all of it was very peaceful expression of
Speaker 3: First Amendment rights.
Speaker 2: You're you're back, You're back, You're back.
Speaker 1: Yes, Mayor Fry explaining how everything's peaceful and fine, and
Speaker 1: then natural sound from the streets where chaos and anger
Speaker 1: and violence was raining. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I don't like the direction this stuff is going.
Speaker 4: Uh, and don't you assume it's going to get worse
Speaker 4: than there's going to be more of these, That's what
Speaker 4: I I.
Speaker 1: Don't see anything that would indicate otherwise.
Speaker 4: So anyway, I wish I had the name of who
Speaker 4: tweeted this out pretty good. I'm sorry, I can't give
Speaker 4: you your name, whoever tweeted this. I'm a mother, so
Speaker 4: I'm going to comment right now. I will say this
Speaker 4: exactly the way a mother thinks it raw, direct and
Speaker 4: without pretending this is complicated. A thirty seven year old woman,
Speaker 4: three kids, middle of a work week. The father of
Speaker 4: those children is dead. She's the only parent left. The
Speaker 4: one job she has above every cause, every protest, every
Speaker 4: headline is getting home door kids.
Speaker 2: What's she doing instead? She's out of state.
Speaker 4: Other reports claim she lives there in the street, inner car,
Speaker 4: blocking federal agents who are doing their job.
Speaker 2: Not alone.
Speaker 4: Her partner is right there filming her like this is
Speaker 4: some brave little documentary moment around them, sirens blaring, people yelling,
Speaker 4: pure chaos, manufactured chaos so agents can't do their lawful job.
Speaker 2: Her window is down.
Speaker 4: She hears the orders, she understands the orders, She ignores
Speaker 4: the orders. She then puts the car in reverse, still
Speaker 4: doesn't comply. Then she puts it in drive, not park.
Speaker 4: She moves forward into the agent. That's not confusion, that's
Speaker 4: not panic. That's decision after decision after decision. Now put
Speaker 4: yourself in the agent's shoes for half a second. A
Speaker 4: driver is already in an unlawful act, refusing commands in
Speaker 4: a hostile, chaotic, loud scene, and now the driver uses
Speaker 4: a vehicle to move toward you. You gotta split second.
Speaker 4: You don't get the luxury of maybe she's just stressed.
Speaker 4: You have to assume the worst. You have to think
Speaker 4: of protecting other people, like the partner at the window,
Speaker 4: because if you assume the best and you're wrong, you
Speaker 4: don't get to go home, or someone else doesn't get
Speaker 4: to go home. So the agent fires after she makes
Speaker 4: an intentional and aggressive move toward him, because he has
Speaker 4: no idea what her intentions are, and she just demonstrated
Speaker 4: she's willing to escalate. Now, imagine her three kids at school,
Speaker 4: sitting there like any other day, not knowing their mother
Speaker 4: is out playing street hero games for criminals in the
Speaker 4: middle of a work week, with the two adults responsible
Speaker 4: for them. She didn't think about them. She didn't think
Speaker 4: if I get arrested, who picks my babies up? She
Speaker 4: didn't think if I get hurt, who raises them. She
Speaker 4: didn't think if I die, they'd have nobody. She thought
Speaker 4: about protecting the criminals. I guess she's talking about the
Speaker 4: illegals in this case. Yeah, she thought about interfering with
Speaker 4: federal agents. She thought about the cameras, She thought about
Speaker 4: the crowd, She thought about the moment. There's no amount
Speaker 4: of evidence, money, tears on TV or news spin that
Speaker 4: can make this make sense as a mother, nothing about
Speaker 4: this makes sense.
Speaker 1: Well, and she left out the smug glee that both
Speaker 1: the dead woman and her partner were showing how much
Speaker 1: they were enjoying all of it. Oh yeah, man speaks
Speaker 1: really to the psychology and the lack of grounding in
Speaker 1: reality their activities.
Speaker 2: They're LARPing, they're live action role playing. The grounding and
Speaker 2: reality is right.
Speaker 4: The way her partner is asking, come on, big boy,
Speaker 4: you better get a sandwich.
Speaker 2: You're gonna be here a while.
Speaker 4: That is never the way you should be dealing with
Speaker 4: people who have guns and the ability to kill you
Speaker 4: if things go sideways. I mean, no smart person does that.
Speaker 4: I mean, go back and watch the Civil rights era.
Speaker 4: People who are up against you know, authority, bad authority.
Speaker 4: In this case, they didn't talk that way, and they
Speaker 4: talked in measured tones about their what they're trying to accomplish,
Speaker 4: and why they were on the right side.
Speaker 2: You don't do that, Hey, big boy, you better get
Speaker 2: yourself a lunch. You're gonna be here a while.
Speaker 1: That's you better feed that German shepherd if he's gonna
Speaker 1: come and bite me.
Speaker 2: No, you didn't hear. No, that's a dumb way to
Speaker 2: handle this. Situation.
Speaker 4: Back to this briefly, as a mother, nothing about this
Speaker 4: makes sense at minimum machine where actions could get her
Speaker 4: arrested at minimum, and she still chose it. She chose strangers,
Speaker 4: she chose chaos, she chose lawlessness. I agree, man, what
Speaker 4: kind of belief do you haven't a cause where you're
Speaker 4: willing to go to that length where well, I might
Speaker 4: spend the next couple of days in jail at like
Speaker 4: best when I got a couple of kids, though.
Speaker 2: How am I going to live my life?
Speaker 5: This is nuts?
Speaker 2: Who does that? Hardcore activists?
Speaker 1: You're weird. Just because your hardcore doesn't mean you're right.
Speaker 1: I think it's worth throwing in this from the extremely
Speaker 1: reasonable definitely not very trumpy, Sarah is ger I thought
Speaker 1: this was important forty six please, Michael.
Speaker 6: Fifteen percent or so of in the line deaths are
Speaker 6: caused by cars. Every officer is trained to avoid the
Speaker 6: danger of a vehicle. There's no question you shouldn't have
Speaker 6: been in front of that vehicle at that time. But
Speaker 6: the Supreme Court has also said we look to the
Speaker 6: totality of circumstances, including the fact that in that moment
Speaker 6: he was in front of the vehicle, as that vehicle
Speaker 6: is moving so legally. I think it is a relatively
Speaker 6: clear case once it gets to federal court.
Speaker 4: Wow of assault with a deadly weapon, Yeah, yeah. And
Speaker 4: the whole she's there to support criminals. There's people being
Speaker 4: drug off by ICE agents and situations that I don't
Speaker 4: find good. I mean, originally when this whole started, the
Speaker 4: thing started, it was the idea of we got a
Speaker 4: bunch of rapists and murderers and all kinds of law
Speaker 4: breakers here, gang bangers, gang bangers, that we need to
Speaker 4: get out of the country here illegally. Almost everybody's for that,
Speaker 4: and then it comes down to are we going to
Speaker 4: arrest people who their only crime is there here illegally?
Speaker 4: Some of you agree, Man, that gets that gets pretty
Speaker 4: ugly pretty fast, since we've baked it into our societies
Speaker 4: so much over so many decades.
Speaker 1: Well, and as we've discussed earlier in the show, to
Speaker 1: do it with maximum confrontation and abrasiveness, as opposed to,
Speaker 1: you know, President Joe Getty would say, all right, let's
Speaker 1: accomplish this with as little like stirring up resistance as
Speaker 1: we can. Let's do this quietly and in a dignified way,
Speaker 1: because that way we'll be more effective. But instead and
Speaker 1: the Trump administration, Trump himself likes to whip things up.
Speaker 2: He enjoys that.
Speaker 4: But man, not helping the whole activist crowd thing that,
Speaker 4: you know, kind of old joke that we do on
Speaker 4: the right of You know, we all can't protest because
Speaker 4: we all have jobs or kids to raise. We don't
Speaker 4: have time to go down there and do that. Here's
Speaker 4: somebody who has kids to raise, had things to do.
Speaker 4: I can't even imagine. I got so many.
Speaker 2: Things to do with a couple of kids today in
Speaker 2: my job. I know what I'll do.
Speaker 4: I'll go put myself in a position where I'm likely
Speaker 4: to get arrested and have to go through that whole hassle.
Speaker 4: I mean another state, so I'm a long way away
Speaker 4: from my family anyway.
Speaker 2: Who good does that?
Speaker 1: You know, your point about the civil rights movement and
Speaker 1: how you never saw that sort of smugness and taunting
Speaker 1: and all. That's because I think that goes back to
Speaker 1: the whole question of LARPing. They were playing the brave revolutionary,
Speaker 1: but on their face it wasn't like a give me
Speaker 1: liberty or give me death sort of transcendent courage. It
Speaker 1: was that they the two gals, thought they won't do anything. Right,
Speaker 1: we get to do this all day long and nobody
Speaker 1: will ever do anything, so we can have it both ways.
Speaker 2: You know what. It like the brave campus revolutionaries.
Speaker 4: It reminds me of, on a much stupider level, the
Speaker 4: people who taught athletes at games because they think they
Speaker 4: can't do anything to me. So I can say absolutely
Speaker 4: anything I want to this guy russe celebrities. I can
Speaker 4: say anything I want because they can't and pretend that
Speaker 4: I'm such a tough guy. I'll get in the face
Speaker 4: of a six foot four inch two hundred and forty
Speaker 4: pounds linebacker and telling me sucks at his job because
Speaker 4: I'm sitting here safe.
Speaker 2: He can't do anything. Yeah, yeah, you're right. It's similar week.
Speaker 2: It's a week it is. Indeed, we need more community organizers.
Speaker 4: Remember Barack Obama was that, and a lot of people
Speaker 4: would make jokes about that. We need more organizing in
Speaker 4: communities for causes and laws and legislation, the slow process
Speaker 4: of the way a democracy works. You don't like our
Speaker 4: immigration laws or the way things are. You got to organize.
Speaker 4: You got to get this all together. You got to vote,
Speaker 4: You got to vote people in who believe the same way,
Speaker 4: and over time you win the issue. Not I'm going
Speaker 4: to park my car in front of the agents so
Speaker 4: they can't do it and then.
Speaker 2: Berate them, right.
Speaker 1: Or or I mean, my god, at least you know
Speaker 1: it's misguided, it's stupid, it's dangerous, and it interferes with
Speaker 1: law enforcement. But at least it's not like the hashtag
Speaker 1: active some of the keyboard warrior who doesn't.
Speaker 2: Do anything or risk anything.
Speaker 1: But everybody is so desperate for a purpose for their lives.
Speaker 1: And this is absolutely and everybody knows this related to
Speaker 1: the going away of civic organizations and family, well, religion
Speaker 1: and family more than anything. If you don't have those
Speaker 1: things going for you're desperate for a purpose for your life,
Speaker 1: so you go find one and radicalize yourself, like the
Speaker 1: kids who end up shooting people. Talked about that at
Speaker 1: fear length. The fact that this gal had three kids.
Speaker 2: I think it was.
Speaker 1: By you know, a handful of different relationships. It doesn't matter,
Speaker 1: you know, life has its ups and downs. But the
Speaker 1: fact that she was still looking for a purpose in
Speaker 1: her life, and that purpose was I'm a radical lefty activist.
Speaker 2: You're right, it.
Speaker 4: Doesn't matter her situation with kids and a couple of
Speaker 4: dudes she married then became a lesbian, married a woman,
Speaker 4: or the fact that she's a poet.
Speaker 2: None of that matters.
Speaker 4: But if the media is gonna every single time they
Speaker 4: mention her name, say a mother of three, Okay, you're
Speaker 4: playing the game.
Speaker 2: You're trying to.
Speaker 4: Get sympathy out of this, Well, then I get to
Speaker 4: fill in some of the holes that make it not
Speaker 4: as sympathetic. Why do we leave it out because it's irrelevant.
Speaker 4: It's not relevant to whether whether or not the thrice
Speaker 4: married lesbian poets. Right, I don't think that's fair. But
Speaker 4: if you're gonna go with the mother of three, okay, you.
Speaker 1: Start magicling man, the little league coach, you started this game,
Speaker 1: or we could.
Speaker 2: Just leave it out because I don't get to.
Speaker 4: Shoot you just for no reason, no matter what, no
Speaker 4: matter how many marriages you have, whether you like poetry
Speaker 4: or not. You know what, I'm roilling to grant my
Speaker 4: favorite lesbian poets a couple of marriages, But once they
Speaker 4: hit that third one, I'm through with you.
Speaker 2: That's enough. You've tired me out, You've lost all gravitas.
Speaker 4: Sure, any thoughts on this text line four one five
Speaker 4: two nine five KFTC.
Speaker 1: Mayor Mom Donnie appointed in New York City's first lesbian,
Speaker 1: first ever lesbian fire chief. Finally they figured out a
Speaker 1: way to beat the cops at softball.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 4: Gutfeld's on the triggeronometry podcast, if anybody's familiar with that,
Speaker 4: talking about how many times they tried to cancel him
Speaker 4: and he finally just decided to do whatever he wanted
Speaker 4: and that's when he got mostly successful. But I might
Speaker 4: listen to that because he's an interesting story in terms
Speaker 4: of his show becoming popular.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, just came across this from Gallup Pole.
Speaker 2: This is pretty big. Gallup Pole shows that.
Speaker 4: Now almost half we're just on the cusp of half
Speaker 4: of Americans now identify as independent, not wanting to be
Speaker 4: called a Republican or a Democrat. The two parties are
Speaker 4: in a dead eight at twenty seven percent each. Half
Speaker 4: the countries like I don't want to be have my
Speaker 4: name attached with either one of those places.
Speaker 1: If I were to design a test case for the duopoly,
Speaker 1: that is the Democrats and Republicans in Washington, well across
Speaker 1: their whole country, practically this would be it. Let's make
Speaker 1: them less and less and less popular and see if
Speaker 1: anything new emerges, or if they can just hold on
Speaker 1: to power through the means that you know we've been
Speaker 1: talking about for a long time. I mean, wouldn't you
Speaker 1: think if it were like soft drinks or burger joints or.
Speaker 2: Virtually anything that, or even like freaking.
Speaker 1: Libraries, if you had a couple of them and they
Speaker 1: both sucked and nobody liked them, well, relatively speaking, nobody,
Speaker 1: wouldn't something new emerge in virtually every market.
Speaker 4: Well, let's stick with the library. Then can we do
Speaker 4: restaurants just because library? There's two restaurants. Yeah, half of
Speaker 4: people don't like either restaurant, but there are only two restaurants,
Speaker 4: and I do prefer one of the restaurants way more
Speaker 4: than the other restaurant.
Speaker 2: Sure, that's what the situation is.
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, but no, no, no, I am slapping
Speaker 1: the meal of ignorance out of your.
Speaker 2: Hands as you attempted. I was enjoying the metaphor anyway.
Speaker 1: But here's the here's my question, here's what I'm driving in.
Speaker 1: I probably did it poorly, So you have that level
Speaker 1: of dissatisfaction with the two restaurants. Yet those two restaurants
Speaker 1: have a way to prevent any third restaurants.
Speaker 4: Yah, I'm making the assumption that there will not be
Speaker 4: more than two restaurants because that's just the way it is.
Speaker 1: How come that's just the way it is doesn't work?
Speaker 1: I mean, how.
Speaker 4: They worked the zoning laws or something like the way
Speaker 4: Republicans and Democrats have worked the congressional seats to where
Speaker 4: they guarantee something like ninety percent of them will stay
Speaker 4: in the hands of the hours of these and they
Speaker 4: fight over a tiny a portion of the others.
Speaker 1: And the exhausting laws for getting on the ballot in
Speaker 1: a lot of places. Yeah, those are both excellent places. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what I was driving at. Let's talk a little
Speaker 1: bit about the mechanisms they used to ensure that they're
Speaker 1: two sucky sucky parties continue in power.
Speaker 4: And I guess the part where we put up with
Speaker 4: it is that we call ourselves independence a lot of
Speaker 4: us because we don't want to be attached to the party.
Speaker 4: But I'm still gonna mostly vote that party because when
Speaker 4: it comes down to a binary choice, are you freaking
Speaker 4: getting me?
Speaker 2: You know what I'm gonna do.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take to the streets and start blocking the
Speaker 1: vehicles of law enforcement.
Speaker 2: No, I'm not gonna do that because that's effing stupid.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well so, I don't know, But the smart people
Speaker 4: should spend time talking about what legislative reform could happen,
Speaker 4: or structural reform of some sort, because if you've got
Speaker 4: half the country that doesn't want to call itself either party,
Speaker 4: there should be a way to get a new restaurant.
Speaker 4: We shouldn't be choosing for the rest of our lives
Speaker 4: between fish and chicken because they rigged the system.
Speaker 2: If some of us want hamburgers, yes, and we do.
Speaker 1: Uh So, coming up, the Supreme Court is soon to
Speaker 1: unleash what I pray will be the bud. He's a
Speaker 1: dude ruling about transgender people in sports, the band of Famous,
Speaker 1: But that's a penis ruling.
Speaker 2: He's a dude doctrine.
Speaker 1: But when we come back from break, looking forward to this,
Speaker 1: a progressive congress person.
Speaker 2: Runs into the head of Customs.
Speaker 1: And Border Patrol in the Capitol and wants to have
Speaker 1: an argument about illegal immigration, and we'll have that jazzy
Speaker 1: back and.
Speaker 2: Forth for you and that Supreme Court. Things could be
Speaker 2: a big deal. Huh So, anybody got any brilliant thoughts.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it will absolutely and if it's not,
Speaker 1: I will be bitterly, bitterly disappointed. Does anybody have any
Speaker 1: brilliant thoughts on ending the duopoly of those two crappy restaurants?
Speaker 1: Male bag at Armstrong in geeddy dot com is the
Speaker 1: email address to think about it? Noodle it through? What
Speaker 1: to do about it? How do they ensure it? How
Speaker 1: do they keep it going? Whatever you want? Mail Bag
Speaker 1: at Armstrong in getty dot com.
Speaker 4: We need to get new zoning laws. We can get
Speaker 4: a burger joint up in here. That's what we need. Please,
Speaker 4: Oh my, hey, lots on the way. I hope you
Speaker 4: can stay.
Speaker 2: Here Armstrong and getdy.
Speaker 4: Elon just put out a really weird video on his
Speaker 4: twitter feed.
Speaker 2: I want to talk about that at some point.
Speaker 1: I kind of miss Elon, the wackydoodle provocateur. I mean,
Speaker 1: the tech giant is really interesting. The political crusader was
Speaker 1: an interesting chapter in his life, but I miss him
Speaker 1: just being the troll.
Speaker 4: Well, this is pretty provocative, suggesting boy, some sort of
Speaker 4: robot human romance thing is.
Speaker 2: A good idea. Oh boy, why don't we try it
Speaker 2: out on you first? You want? Huh? Thanks, get ready
Speaker 2: and they can wear it fast. Aim into that.
Speaker 1: So apparently in the Capitol the other day, congress Lady
Speaker 1: Sandra Feist too, where do we decide she's from Katie,
Speaker 1: Minnesota represents? Oh that's right, of course, yeah, yeah, appropriately enough.
Speaker 1: Who's at least feigning being fired up about the recent
Speaker 1: to uglandess ran into Dan Bovino?
Speaker 2: Is it Dan?
Speaker 1: I think so sorry, I'm addled with flu. I just
Speaker 1: got the flu shot and I feel kind of funky.
Speaker 1: But anyway, and ran into him and they started arguing
Speaker 1: about the immigration situation in general and the Minnesota deal
Speaker 1: and the rest of it. And I think it's kind
Speaker 1: of instructive for where people are in their opinions. But
Speaker 1: let's start with sixty four Michael, and we'll go from there.
Speaker 7: Why are you not arrested in criminals? Why are so
Speaker 7: few of the people that you have rousted and routine
Speaker 7: and reported people with the records.
Speaker 8: They're all from. They've almost the border illegally eighteen USC
Speaker 8: thirteen twenty five illegal entry.
Speaker 2: That's a federal Yes, that's so considered fule immigration enforcement.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's fun. You know, we can talk about that
Speaker 1: if you want. She got a bit of a voice
Speaker 1: to her, doesn't she? And it's Greg Bovino. Thank you
Speaker 1: for the clarification. Go on, folks, double digit drops and grime?
Speaker 8: You look have you looked at your statistics you don't
Speaker 8: care about for the last since we've been connecting kind
Speaker 8: of Yes, double digit drops and grime correlation not causation.
Speaker 2: When way there that does cause that? Well, I don't know,
Speaker 2: I saw, you don't know if the time was who
Speaker 2: is a stander?
Speaker 8: Don't drive a two thousand pounds missing and an ice agent.
Speaker 8: You won't have an outbum that you don't agree with represented.
Speaker 1: So I you know, I'm prejudiced because I agree with him,
Speaker 1: and I knew going in I would. But saying she
Speaker 1: was a bystander is brutally dishonest.
Speaker 2: I would say she was obviously a participant. Yeah, you know.
Speaker 1: A corollary to the Getty law that people don't make
Speaker 1: terrible arguments because they're really really good arguments are in
Speaker 1: the shower, or they're saving them for tomorrow. They make
Speaker 1: them because that's all they got. Well, the tangent to
Speaker 1: that would be people don't resist, don't resort, rather to
Speaker 1: ridiculously dishonest characterizations of a situation, because you know, just
Speaker 1: that they forgot what the honest characterization is.
Speaker 2: They do it because they have to.
Speaker 1: That's the only way they can make their point, or
Speaker 1: they that's the only hope they have to make their
Speaker 1: point successfully.
Speaker 2: Rolling on not that second Amendment.
Speaker 7: Well, I don't know if you heard, but we had
Speaker 7: a shooting in a school here in Minnesota recently, and
Speaker 7: this second Amendment, Well, I think that if we had
Speaker 7: some common sense gun but gun violence.
Speaker 8: Sense you well, yes, yes, exactly, And I think that's
Speaker 8: definitely the problem there. When you use that violent rhetoric
Speaker 8: around children. Yeah, i'd say that you probably are not
Speaker 8: exercising a lot on them since their.
Speaker 7: Representatives really well, all i've seen here in Minnesota is
Speaker 7: people dying and feeding.
Speaker 2: Children about the lives that are saved by guns. You
Speaker 2: don't talk about that yet. So is this one of
Speaker 2: those rorshot tests?
Speaker 4: If some of my progressive friends were listening to this,
Speaker 4: would she would they think she's owning him, because to me,
Speaker 4: it seems like she sounds like an idiot.
Speaker 2: He's making sense.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like an unhappy teenager arguing with a very
Speaker 1: serious adult. And I almost I wish This wasn't edited
Speaker 1: quite so heavily because I'd like to hear more context.
Speaker 1: Go ahead, Katie.
Speaker 2: So the parts of.
Speaker 9: It that I have cut out are long pauses where
Speaker 9: every time that he says something and makes a clear point,
Speaker 9: she goes silent, silent and pulls her phone out and
Speaker 9: is like violently texting.
Speaker 2: So there was something.
Speaker 9: I don't know if she was looking stuff up, but
Speaker 9: she was trying to get something going on her phone,
Speaker 9: because she would shut down and go straight into our
Speaker 9: phone for probably a minute and then come back at him.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, interesting next clip. The end all is get
Speaker 2: rid of guns. People don't die. It's fentanyl is still
Speaker 2: killing people in Minnesota. Just wondering because it's illegal.
Speaker 8: Because it's illegal the government, we don't hand out fentanyl.
Speaker 4: It's fentanel killing people in Minnesota.
Speaker 2: See see see.
Speaker 10: This is where this is where, this is where you
Speaker 10: need to count at ten.
Speaker 2: Too easy.
Speaker 1: She says this is dumb and walks away, his point
Speaker 1: being there are laws against fentanyl like crazy, but people
Speaker 1: still get them and it kills people and the rest
Speaker 1: of it. More laws won't work well and again, and
Speaker 1: we've made this point before, but I think it's worth
Speaker 1: making again.
Speaker 2: When you get gun laws passed, the left.
Speaker 1: Refuses to enforce them because they're disproportionately forced, enforced against
Speaker 1: people of color, and they refuse any enhancement for the
Speaker 1: use of a gun or whatever.
Speaker 2: I mean.
Speaker 1: If I'm on the left, I would look around me
Speaker 1: and say, hey, guys, guys, I've realized a problem we've got.
Speaker 2: I don't get the self delusion. I truly don't. You
Speaker 2: remember when.
Speaker 1: Republicans and Democrats overlapped like eighty percent?
Speaker 2: Yeah, good times. Yeah, h.
Speaker 4: The funny mechanism exacerbates it.
Speaker 2: There's no doubt.
Speaker 1: Ah yeah, oh yeah, one hundred percent. You know, it's funny.
Speaker 1: I was pulled the other day by Emerson College. I
Speaker 1: mentioned this on the air and they asked one of
Speaker 1: the questions, and you know what I should have done,
Speaker 1: screen captures of all of them. It didn't occur to
Speaker 1: me at the time. What a numskull I am. But
Speaker 1: one of the questions was one of the areas and
Speaker 1: they asked several questions about this is what are the
Speaker 1: greatest threats to our democracy? First of all, do you
Speaker 1: believe our democracy is not threatened? Slightly threatened? Someone threatened
Speaker 1: very threatened, or it's already over in Hitler's in the
Speaker 1: White House. And I was somewhere kind of middling that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's under stress, definitely. And they had like six or
Speaker 1: seven choices what do you think is the biggest threat
Speaker 1: to our democracy?
Speaker 2: And one of the choices.
Speaker 1: Or what's the most important thing that could be done
Speaker 1: to help our democracy? And some of the choices were
Speaker 1: about gerrymandering. They obviously wanted to know about some of
Speaker 1: the gerrymandering that's been going on and what my opinion
Speaker 1: was of that, and other folks opinions. But one of
Speaker 1: the choices was repeal Citizens United. It makes Supreme Court
Speaker 1: case about can corporations donate to political campaigns or packs
Speaker 1: or whatever? And I thought, oh my god, if you
Speaker 1: still think Citizens United is that's why money has perverted politics?
Speaker 1: You know, the two thousand and three just called and
Speaker 1: wants it's analysis back. I mean, come on, it's small
Speaker 1: donations from individuals, ay cut her. I'm Ford motor companies
Speaker 1: a hell of a lot more steady going and reliable
Speaker 1: than the average you know American who gets whipped up
Speaker 1: for ten minutes and it hits the send button. Yeah, exactly,
Speaker 1: this is so dumb and walks away. I'm gonna do
Speaker 1: that more in my life. Yeah, this is dumb.
Speaker 2: I run into that a lot.
Speaker 4: So the flu shot made you feel sick, You didn't
Speaker 4: feel like you got the flu.
Speaker 1: A little bit. Yeah, yeah, mostly I'm just exhausted. But
Speaker 1: my body has mounted an immune response. It's a good sign.
Speaker 1: I got a good vital immune system. It's ready to go,
Speaker 1: come on, bringing on diseases.
Speaker 4: How often does the flu vaccine make people fluish? Most
Speaker 4: of the time, pretty frequently.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: My blushing bride got it a few weeks ago and
Speaker 1: she felt nothing. Of course, you know, does have the
Speaker 1: immune system of I like a bull moose.
Speaker 4: Well, so you're portraying it. So it's a good thing.
Speaker 4: If you get sick, that means it's working.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and if you don't, necessarily bad thing if
Speaker 1: you don't get much of a reaction. But yeah, the
Speaker 1: reason you have a reaction is your body says, oh
Speaker 1: a pathogen yes, and fires up its responses. The idea being,
Speaker 1: if it comes to you for real, it's already got
Speaker 1: a standing army. Your body's already has id'ed the enemy
Speaker 1: and is ready to fight. It, so, Yeah, it's fine,
Speaker 1: little extra strength islon Allen, I'm back in the game.
Speaker 4: You don't think they put a chip in here or
Speaker 4: something when you got the flu shot? Oh, I assume
Speaker 4: they didn't Mark of the Beast or something.
Speaker 2: Bill Gates.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Satan working together hand in hand through Anthony
Speaker 1: Fauci exactly.
Speaker 2: And it all started on Epstein's island. That's right. That's
Speaker 2: a nice job. Jo tied it together.
Speaker 4: We had something we're gonna play coming back. Oh, a
Speaker 4: funny joke from last night making fun of you.
Speaker 1: Did you mention the Jew or were you implying that
Speaker 1: when you mentioned Epstein?
Speaker 2: I wasn't implying a Jews at all.
Speaker 1: But well, because you got to rope that into you're
Speaker 1: all encompassing. Oh, by the way, somebody burning down a
Speaker 1: synagogue in Mississippi or was it memphisis I think it
Speaker 1: wass Mississippi.
Speaker 2: If that was a mosque, that would be the biggest
Speaker 2: story in America. No kidding, no kid.
Speaker 1: Hell, hey, liberals, why are you so willingly cooperating? You
Speaker 1: call every freaking body a Nazi, and somebody's going after
Speaker 1: the Jews. Maybe that rings a bell and you're silent
Speaker 1: Oh my god.
Speaker 2: You people make me insane.
Speaker 4: The burning down a mosque would be yeah, present would
Speaker 4: have to give an Oval Office address.
Speaker 2: But no.
Speaker 1: Jews are targeted all across America and nothing happens.
Speaker 2: It disgusts me. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Well, I don't want anything to happen to any place
Speaker 4: of worship. But I thought it was interesting in my
Speaker 4: town that they now have a giant, very sturdy fence
Speaker 4: around the Jewish campus where they never had it before.
Speaker 4: Their house of worship and a couple other things they
Speaker 4: got there. And the decades I've lived there, you could
Speaker 4: just walk onto the campus and attend whatever you need
Speaker 4: to attend. Now there's a gate and you got to
Speaker 4: go you know somebody and they let you in.
Speaker 2: Everything like that.
Speaker 4: And just down the same street there's the mosque, And
Speaker 4: ain't it don't need no fence in a very progressive
Speaker 4: part of America. And I don't want any of them
Speaker 4: to need a fence, of course, not no, I think
Speaker 4: we see it absolutely gets your point. One of the
Speaker 4: funny jokes from Golden Globes last night, among other things,
Speaker 4: on the way we will finish.
Speaker 2: Strong, Army Strong.
Speaker 11: Hettie Seawan Penn is also here.

Speaker 11: And I feel.
Speaker 2: Like that's it's Hocks. It's good.
Speaker 11: Not only such an amazing but you're such a devoted humanitarian.
Speaker 11: I mean, I feel like a lot of actors talk
Speaker 11: the talk, but Sean Penn will actually go to the
Speaker 11: places in the world that need help the most, and
Speaker 11: he will do cocaine there, and I feel like we
Speaker 11: don't celebrate that at all. And Sean, I did get
Speaker 11: permission to tell that joke from your two best friends,
Speaker 11: Charlie Sheen and el Choppo, so they say, HI, blame.
Speaker 2: It on that. Wow. Wow, that's pretty amusing.

Speaker 4: Especially because she's got a couple of kids, and then
Speaker 4: she's got that loud, loud mouth, long day wife of hers.
Speaker 4: If you've seen that video, jeez, you seem like a peach. Anyway,
Speaker 4: people started to go fund me for the wife and
Speaker 4: it's now a million and a half dollars.
Speaker 2: Oh hey, there you go.
Speaker 4: That'll help with raising the kids, which she will need
Speaker 4: because I don't trust her judgment on a lot of things.
Speaker 1: Uh No, In fact, she terribly said I made her
Speaker 1: come down here, it's my fault.
Speaker 2: Yeah, But now she's got a million and a half dollars.
Speaker 1: Many, many people have been murdered for a million and
Speaker 1: a half dollars in shar It's policies.

Speaker 4: isn't it?
Speaker 2: Oh please?
Speaker 4: I mean the the incredible justice sometimes that is done
Speaker 4: where something unfortunate happens to somebody, are really unfair. Usually, yeah,
Speaker 4: it happens to somebody and we all feel bad, and
Speaker 4: you know, go fund me gets going on for a
Speaker 4: couple of bucks. All of a sudden that person's taken
Speaker 4: care of. But then there's all kinds of people you hate.
Speaker 4: The last thing they should get is rewarded, and then
Speaker 4: I go fund me bails them out, and.
Speaker 1: America has become one big like weird jury where two
Speaker 1: people getting a screaming match in an airport. One of
Speaker 1: them gets docked and run out of their job and
Speaker 1: the other one gets rich. Eh so I hadn't heard it.

Speaker 4: his Twitter in the One More Thing podcast in which
Speaker 4: he's suggesting some sort of romance between humans and Tesla robots.
Speaker 4: You know that's his new thing now, is not the
Speaker 4: cars but the robots. Really that's interesting, can't be because
Speaker 4: he's big on human beings. The whole populate in Mars
Speaker 4: thing is to keep human human humans alive. Anyway, He's
Speaker 4: bred himself an army as well. Elon announced the other day.
Speaker 4: Well yeah, speaking of his kid, his thirteenth child, Elon
