00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:44,519
Speaker 4: of the Armstrong and Getty Communications compound.

9
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 2: And today we're under the tutelage of our general manager.

10
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 2: Illegal immigrants, illegal limits. Why are they the general manager

11
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 2: major moved by the Trump administration. It's not yet come

12
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 2: to fruition. But the idea is, if you're in the country,

13
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,760
Speaker 2: you sign up on the website, tell us who you

14
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 2: are and where you are, and you're fine for now.

15
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 2: If you don't do that, you have committed a crime.

16
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:13,120
Speaker 2: You will be jailed and deported.

17
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 5: So did Elon send a letter to all illegal immigrants

18
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 5: saying you have to give me a list of five

19
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 5: things you did last.

20
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:22,680
Speaker 2: Week, right, exactly, five reasons you love this country. Five

21
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 2: things you did last week? I mot alawn, I cleaned.

22
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 5: A hotel room, and I perhaps participated in gang activity,

23
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 5: depending on the illegal immigrant we're talking.

24
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 2: Oh, there's a hard work and vivas something something. We're

25
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 2: racist something. Boy, have there ever been this many moving

26
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 2: pieces at one time and a whole bunch of big stories.

27
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 2: I don't think so, not in my life. I know.

28
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 2: It's absolutely remarkable. I was listening to a favorite podcast

29
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 2: the other day. Turns out there are two others, not

30
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 2: just ours, There are two other podcasts. I don't suggest

31
00:01:55,640 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 2: you listen to them, but it was remarkable how the

32
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 2: folks and they were center right, center left, in kind

33
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 2: of left. Oh, there's one like Maga person too. But

34
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:14,359
Speaker 2: it was a fairly large panel. But everybody agreed, as

35
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:16,799
Speaker 2: if we were discussing whether the sun rose in the

36
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 2: east or not. Everybody agreed that rampant immigration has decimated

37
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 2: the working people of various countries, upended their cultures, made

38
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 2: the lives of average people worse, and calling anybody who

39
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 2: objected to it racist was just repugnant. And that's terrible.

40
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 2: That's not an answer. People are really suffering. How dare

41
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 2: you call people racist just for expressing their views of

42
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 2: the town they live in, in the world they live in.

43
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 2: It was like, you know, again, I appreciate the world

44
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 2: coming round. I do. It's better than continuing the obscenely stupid,

45
00:02:56,120 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 2: insulting and brutal mistreatment of anybody who expressed their frustration

46
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 2: to immigration. But it was never true, and these people

47
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 2: have switched their stripes immediately now that the shoe is

48
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 2: on the other foot, or you know, the control immigration

49
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 2: is on the front foot around the globe, bastards call

50
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 2: people racists for wanting their hometown not to become a

51
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 2: completely different place.

52
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 5: We got some uh what's his name, borders are Holman

53
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 5: for you later in the show doing interviews.

54
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 2: Well, you want to talk about the right man for

55
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 2: the job at the right time. He's an urs kicker.

56
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 2: Is he's a kulo kicker to our Spanish speaking listeners,

57
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 2: what's kulo mean? As means ass? Yes, okay, career end button.

58
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 5: I know very few Spanish words. And then you got

59
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 5: the whole Ukraine Russia things. Speaking of moving pieces, Zelenski

60
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 5: might be coming to DC to sign a deal with Trump.

61
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 2: Together mineral slash security deal. That'll be quite the scene,

62
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 2: uh with the what the how they treat each other?

63
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 2: Trump called him a dictator last week, basically a thief

64
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 2: and all that, and then Zelensky will probably do a

65
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 2: bunch of interviews while he's in the country, and so

66
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 2: that'll be whatever it is, and this could cause a

67
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 2: history deflecting change in not only the Ukraine situation, but

68
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 2: European security, Russia pootin all of this. I tell you what,

69
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 2: Trump famously a showman. If this was like a drama,

70
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 2: Judy and I are binge watching or something, it's a

71
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 2: good one. It's it's really got some plot twists to it,

72
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 2: I'd say. Unfortunately, it's not a TV drama and people

73
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:53,280
Speaker 2: are dying by the many thousands. Uh, speaking of that,

74
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 2: what what what are you currently binge watching or have

75
00:04:56,160 --> 00:05:02,359
Speaker 2: you most recently binge watched? We have gone back to Severance, okay,

76
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 2: which is a weird, mind bending drama. You'd enjoy it

77
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 2: on the Apple TV. We find ourselves frequently turning to

78
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 2: Apple TV. Oh really for for good shows. Yeah, it's

79
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 2: probably the most productive mine of entertainment these days for US.

80
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 2: Separance and it's several seasons in I don't even know.

81
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:29,720
Speaker 2: It's about somebody who got laid off from work and

82
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 2: got three weeks pay. Oh yeah, it's about a US

83
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 2: federal worker who lost their job for the first time

84
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 2: ever and is a gas that sometimes people lose their jobs. Yes,

85
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 2: it's wonderful. It's sad though, very sad. It's in its

86
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 2: second season. Michael says, I was told, okay, thank you,

87
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 2: thank you. Ord on the Street, is it's in its

88
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:55,840
Speaker 2: second season. Ask your uncle Google, where was I my

89
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 2: hilarious riff about federal workers. Yes. Yes, the next episode

90
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,279
Speaker 2: they are going to be sending out resumes again, totally

91
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 2: unknown to anybody outside the government. Yeah, I know, well, yeah,

92
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 2: that kind of fits in with the opening clip. Let's

93
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 2: let's start the show officially.

94
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 5: Get to the opening clip, and we can have a

95
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 5: little discussion about the continuing portrayal in the media of

96
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 5: the idea of anyone.

97
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,279
Speaker 2: Losing their job in the federal government.

98
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 5: I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe Getty on this It is Wednesday,

Speaker 2: rules and regulations. Beginning the show at mark to the

105
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 2: White House.

106
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 6: We say no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

107
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:59,600
Speaker 6: Hell no to dismantling the postal service, Thank you very much.

108
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 2: I think it's so funny. It's got the it's got

109
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 2: the hell no and a bunch of people chanting, and

110
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 2: you think, wow, who are these people? And it's hell

111
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 2: no to dismantling the postal service. I assume most Americans

112
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 2: react with what the postal solidarity for the postal service?

113
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 2: Who still gets mail? Who needs a postal service? I

114
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 2: have Amazon come by every day and FedEx and UPS

115
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 2: drops something off. Maybe one of those DHL the postal service. Well,

116
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 2: I don't think anybody's in favor of dismantling the postals,

117
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 2: I mean completely, but make it more efficient. Of course,

118
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 2: how many things you get important out of the postal

119
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 2: service given a week? Very few? Who gay? Fine? Whatever

120
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 2: the postal Service, of all the of all the departments

121
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 2: to get all worked up about, that's hilarious, that's funny.

122
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 2: So uh yeah, they continue to pray portray on the

123
00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 2: news will their interview somebody in szones about how yeah,

124
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 2: now I'm I don't even know what I'm gonna do

125
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 2: now I'm sending out resumes and I'd been working there

126
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 2: for a couple of years and never crossed my mind

127
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 2: that I would need another job, and are you kidding me?

128
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 6: How do you?

129
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 2: I'm surprised that people in media, since in media people

130
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 2: get fired all the time.

131
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 5: I'm surprised that people in media aren't interviewing these government

132
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 5: workers and saying.

133
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 2: Hey, take it down a notch. Everybody I know got

134
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 2: fired last week. We used to have three hundred people here,

135
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 2: now we have twenty seven. So yeah, well, it's Trump's

136
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,679
Speaker 2: arrangement syndrome and just you know bias, which is just

137
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 2: flaming all the time in media, even if there were,

138
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 2: I mean, the ideal obviously is that government would be

139
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 2: highly adaptable and have some of the creative destruction of capitalism,

140
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 2: because you know, we don't need the Department of horseshoeing

141
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 2: anymore in the federal government. Just to make a particularly

142
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 2: silly but obvious example, we've moved into the Department of

143
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,839
Speaker 2: car tires. Okay, the times have changed, the needs of changed,

144
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 2: goals have been accomplished, the demographics have changed. Whatever, So

145
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 2: the idea of that no longer works, or it never worked,

146
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:13,679
Speaker 2: or we don't need it anymore, or it's redundant. That

147
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 2: ought to be like an every day occurrence in government.

148
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 2: Of course, the idea of all encompassing permanence is not

149
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 2: only strange, it's idiotic. It's the antithesis of what government

150
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 2: ought to be. And here we are with a popular

151
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 2: cultural belief because because doge in, what they're doing not popular,

152
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 2: not popular among the American people, mostly because it's being

153
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 2: portrayed as something like the Holocaust in the media. As

154
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 2: we've been discussing, you've seen polling on Doge that shows

155
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 2: that people don't dig it. Yeah, it's way underwater. I

156
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:52,440
Speaker 2: don't remember the specific wo. Wow, that's disappointing to me. Yeah. Yeah,

157
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 2: Well again, if people get their point of view through

158
00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 2: the bigfoot media and NPR and you know, your face

159
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 2: booky stuff, I think there's also just. I think there's

160
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 2: also just. And this is disappointing. There's too many people

161
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:12,079
Speaker 2: that I don't know, think the way I thought when

162
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 2: I was twenty two. They think the government is here

163
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 2: to help you. The government is full of selfless people

164
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,839
Speaker 2: who just want to do the right thing, which a

165
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:25,439
Speaker 2: lot of people are. But the bureaucracy itself does not

166
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 2: yield those results right in the way. It turns out

167
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 2: enormous job patronage money program that is held to practically

168
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 2: zero standards productivity. That's what it is. It's a same monster.

169
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 2: It's like I saw a cartoon yesterday about how people

170
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,679
Speaker 2: how some people view the federal government, and it was

171
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 2: a guy pointing at an eagle that has a rabbit

172
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,679
Speaker 2: in its clutches, and it says, look, that eagle is

173
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 2: rescuing that rabbit. Oh, that's good.

174
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 5: Just so, I mean, how else would you explain those

175
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 5: poll results. If most Americans are down or down don't

176
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 5: like the whole Doach thing. It's got to be because

177
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 5: they think, no most government worker, all government programs are

178
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,079
Speaker 5: necessary and doing good, and these people shouldn't be fired.

179
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 5: Is there any other way to take it?

180
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 2: Uh? No, No, think I think that's it. More or

181
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 2: less people have a view that the government is here

182
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 2: to run our lives and solve our problems. I can't

183
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 2: go on. I was already ill. I might have to

184
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 2: go back to bed with that news. I can't handle

185
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,959
Speaker 2: that reality. You know. It's what I'm always saying. The

186
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 2: reason the Founding Fathers designed this country the way they

187
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,840
Speaker 2: did is because they knew a lot of people want

188
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,199
Speaker 2: a king and they want to be taken care of

189
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 2: what in your life rethinkers, if you're over twenty five,

190
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:52,319
Speaker 2: what in your life experience leads you to believe that

191
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,079
Speaker 2: the government is efficient and you know in it to

192
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 2: help you. Like I said the other day, ninety percent

193
00:11:57,800 --> 00:11:59,959
Speaker 2: of my interactions with the government are they slow me

194
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 2: down or cost me money? Yeah? Hm, I must just

195
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:07,959
Speaker 2: create the roads. I'm glad the Marines are there. I

196
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 2: think park rangers do a nice job. But that's that's

197
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 2: just the forward facing stuff that people like, and that's

198
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 2: why they always drop that stuff out when they say, well,

199
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:19,959
Speaker 2: it's like the classic we've got to raise taxes for

200
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 2: teachers and firefighters and in the utterly horrific, wasteful blue

201
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 2: states of America, when you always fite those sympathetic faults,

202
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,719
Speaker 2: you have depressed me to the depths of standing on

203
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:35,720
Speaker 2: a ledge. That's why I'm here with that news. Wow,

204
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 2: stay off the ledge. They'll probably have like eight or

205
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:43,200
Speaker 2: ten government workers scrape your body off the rocks. It'll

206
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:46,560
Speaker 2: be expensive for those of us who survive. I'm gonna

207
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 2: put my head in the oven during the commercial break.

208
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 2: You have an electric ovenor'll just get your head hot.

209
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 2: Oh it's supposed to be a gas of it. I

210
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,439
Speaker 2: see toes. Oh, yes, unclear on the concept. It's not

211
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 2: just a bay and or broil your head. We've got

212
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 2: Katie's headlines on the way and more news of the day.

213
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 3: Stay here, Armstrong, Andy, I'm tired of hearing about eggs,

214
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 3: their prices up, Jack getting high.

215
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 2: All I wanted to talk about was eggs. Okay, maybe

216
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:21,719
Speaker 2: we'll do it hour three. It will be an all

217
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 2: egg hour. Let's get right into it. It's lead story

218
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 2: with Katie Green and Katie, what do you have for us? Well?

219
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:30,559
Speaker 7: Starting with the New York Times, US House narrowly passes

220
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 7: Trump backed spending bill.

221
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 5: Are A lot of people thought this couldn't happen, and

222
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:37,560
Speaker 5: it did so. I guess the big vote is in April.

223
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 5: This would include extending the Trump tax cuts, which is

224
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 5: a major deal.

225
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 2: Yeah. The vote yesterday sets up a conflict with the Senate,

226
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 2: which favors larger tax cuts and plans to alter the

227
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 2: House plan rather than accept it. Even if the House

228
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 2: and Senate degree on a budget, lawmakers will have to

229
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:56,440
Speaker 2: negotiate hundreds of details on taxi, healthcare, energy, and food

230
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 2: stamps before they can get a bill to Trump's desk.

231
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 2: It's a big step needed every Republican vote, and most

232
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 2: people were predicting it would go down. And then at

233
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 2: the last moment and he they had the votes. Trump

234
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 2: got a couple of people on the phone. Made them

235
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 2: feel bad, buddy. But Thomas Massey, who's the greatest budget

236
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:18,960
Speaker 2: hawk in the House with Tom McClintock, probably from.

237
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 7: The Free Beacon Red District. Doge protests, cited as proof

238
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 7: of broad Musk backlash were organized by left wing groups.

239
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 2: Mmm. Shocking. Oh yeah, yeah, absolutely clear. From the beginning.

240
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 7: From CNN, Trump says US will sell five million dollar

241
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 7: gold cards to wealthy foreigners.

242
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's an interesting one instead of a game airport

243
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 2: lounge access, so it's great. Yeah, we'll have to talk

244
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 2: in detail about that later. That's an interesting idea he has.

245
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 2: It's it's an old idea, but uh yeah, okay, we'll

246
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 2: talk about it.

247
00:14:56,800 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 7: From ABC, Russia reports massive Ukraine drone attack on strategic

248
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 7: port and logistics hub.

249
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 2: Yeah. Putin's still trying to move the battle lines a

250
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 2: little bit before the talks start. If they do in earnest.

251
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 7: From NPR, consumer confidence falls the most since twenty twenty

252
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 7: one over fears about inflation and tariffs.

253
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 2: And somewhere in there is the word eggs. I'm sure

254
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 2: in that arta. Well you know it. Not only that,

255
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 2: but any responsible economists said, Yeah, there was this huge

256
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 2: surgeon confuter, I'm sorry, consumer confidence right after the election,

257
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 2: and it's just settled down to where it was.

258
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 7: From the Associated Press, Iran accelerates production of near weapons

259
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 7: grade uranium as tensions with the United States ratchet up.

260
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 5: I am man, what a back burner story that could

261
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 5: happen any afternoon. We could all get alerts on our.

262
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 2: Phone that Israel, with the help of the United States

263
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 2: has just attacked Iran to try to take out that

264
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 2: nuclear facility. Because I think that's coming from Breitbart dot com.

265
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 7: Fcced brief house Republicans on unprecedented George Soro's scheme to

266
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 7: control two hundred radio stations.

267
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 2: What. Yeah, he's bought a big radio group. Apparently the

268
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 2: FCC is still doing something. It's good to hear. This

269
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 2: was such a story yesterday. I can't believe it.

270
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 7: NBC White House says that large bruise on Trump's hand

271
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 7: is from shaking hands.

272
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 2: All day every day. I hadn't heard that story. The

273
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 2: President bruised.

274
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 7: Somebody took a picture of his hands and he's got

275
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 7: a big bruise on the back of his hand, and

276
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 7: everybody was thinking it's.

277
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 2: A health issue and blah blah. Usually for really old

278
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 2: people it's they got some sort of got a needle

279
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 2: stuck in there for some sort of old person thing. Well,

280
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 2: any bruises more easily here, they're so an old guy

281
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 2: who shakes hands all day. Yeah, yeah, that's the guy.

282
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 2: I was unaware of the bruise. And finally the Babylon

283
00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 2: be laid off.

284
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 7: I r S agents now forced to go door to

285
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 7: door robbing people directly.

286
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:08,639
Speaker 2: Oh no, that's unfair or something. So Elon is going

287
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:10,879
Speaker 2: to be in the cabinet meeting today and there's a

288
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 2: lot of excitement around where does he sit? Does he

289
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 2: have a speaking role? How is that all gonna play out.

290
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 2: We'll keep our eye on that. Armstrong and Getty.

291
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 3: The historyonics the body Lang, which things could get real

292
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:26,679
Speaker 3: spicy here throughout this game is danc It's rich and man.

293
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 2: It immediately turns to the Mavericks pace. So that is

294
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:46,919
Speaker 2: after one of the strangest trades in major sports history

295
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:51,359
Speaker 2: for such a giant star Luka Dancik, who took the

296
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 2: Dallas Mavericks to the finals last year, gets traded out

297
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:59,119
Speaker 2: of the blue. Had no idea to the Lakers and

298
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:02,200
Speaker 2: then the other giant start Lebron James, had no idea

299
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 2: he was losing one of his teammates to get Luca.

300
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 2: Nobody told these people anyway. The first time they played

301
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 2: each other, and Luca had an unbelievable game and staring

302
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 2: down his bench and former general manager as he went

303
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 2: for nineteen points, fifteen rebounds, twelve assists, three steals and

304
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 2: two blocks. That's quite a game, and kicked a field goal.

305
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 2: Fat Luca, boy, that had to be That had to

306
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,679
Speaker 2: be a good feeling. The revenge of staring at your

307
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:33,680
Speaker 2: old boss. Take a sunk of that. Meanwhile, the go ahead,

308
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,680
Speaker 2: the player they traded for, Anthony Davis, is hurt, got it,

309
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 2: got himself hurt. After one game. Oh on that the

310
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 2: crowd was chanting the name of the general manager, thank you,

311
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 2: like thank you for trading us, Fat Luca. You know

312
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 2: the I mentioned that a friend of mine won the

313
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:50,399
Speaker 2: PGA tournament Sunday and it was a great victory. He

314
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 2: had great story. But the guy he beat in the playoff.

315
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:58,160
Speaker 2: Also a fat guy. It's really good to see fat

316
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 2: guys excelling in major sports these days. I think it's

317
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:04,399
Speaker 2: a step forward for fat acceptance in the end of

318
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:08,400
Speaker 2: body shaming. Sure, well on look at the NFL. I mean,

319
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:13,680
Speaker 2: the lineman enormous and fast and athletic, but they're fat.

320
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 2: So absolutely. Yeah. Yeah, it's good to see. It's been

321
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,440
Speaker 2: a great month for the Eagles winning the Super Bowl.

322
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 2: It's been a great month for the fat Yeah. Agreed, Yeah,

323
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 2: really inspiring. So to pay off fat, I do in

324
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,680
Speaker 2: my part God to scale and I'm sick. The scale

325
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 2: should take into account that I'm already sick. Scale was

326
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 2: really cruel to me this morning. Fat. Yes, the scale

327
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:41,440
Speaker 2: has no human kindness built into it. It's programming is

328
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:42,640
Speaker 2: strictly business.

329
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 5: You know, this is kind of weird, but I do

330
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 5: like that about getting on the scale every single morning,

331
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:49,920
Speaker 5: like I do.

332
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 2: It's not only about my weight. It's just a reminder

333
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 2: that reality is reality. You can want things to be

334
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,120
Speaker 2: a certain way, you can think things are a certain way,

335
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 2: you can think things are going a certain way, but

336
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 2: there are ways to measure various things in the world,

337
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 2: including your weight, and reality is reality. And I like

338
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 2: being reminded of that every day. That's funny you should

339
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 2: say that after doing a good job maintaining my weight.

340
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 2: It's up recently for various reasons, and and I have

341
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 2: occasionally not wanted to write down the weight. You see,

342
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 2: And then I think that doesn't change reality. Right, It's

343
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 2: a daily like in booster dose of what you just said. Yeah,

344
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 2: reality doesn't care what you want. You must be realistic. Yeah,

345
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 2: I think it fits in with all kinds of political

346
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:45,159
Speaker 2: stories or family life or whatever. Sure, the very design

347
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:48,879
Speaker 2: of government and taxation and government bloat, the doge thing

348
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 2: that we've been talking about anyway, mentioned this in the

349
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 2: previous segment. I thought it was worth going into a

350
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:58,400
Speaker 2: little bit of detail. The Trump administration created a registry

351
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 2: for immigrants in the US illegally to submit their personal

352
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 2: information or face fines in prison time. Now these it's

353
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:09,679
Speaker 2: not up and running fully at this point. It's draft.

354
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:13,440
Speaker 2: The regulations that was leaked. Immigrants in the country illegally,

355
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 2: including children fourteen and older, would be required to submit

356
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 2: fingerprints and home addresses to the registrate. Immigrants who qualify

357
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 2: who are in that list but failed to register could

358
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 2: be fined up to five thousand dollars and senden stuff

359
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:29,160
Speaker 2: to six months in prison. Well I would I think

360
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,680
Speaker 2: I would feel like this is a trick. You tell

361
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 2: me I need to go downtown to this office to

362
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:37,920
Speaker 2: get fingerprinted for being illegal. I feel like they're gonna,

363
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:40,040
Speaker 2: you know, put me on a bus and send me

364
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 2: out of the country. That's absolutely the thinking that's going

365
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 2: to take place. Yeah, well, why wouldn't it.

366
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 5: It sounds like those kind of things they do where

367
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,159
Speaker 5: the cops, you know, they alert a whole bunch of

368
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 5: like criminals that hey, you just won Super Bowl tickets,

369
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:54,439
Speaker 5: meet us here at this hotel ballroom, and then they

370
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:55,880
Speaker 5: arrest everybody.

371
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 2: Right right, Yeah, yeah, it's very much like that. That

372
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 2: moved to criminalized being in the US legally would build

373
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:06,640
Speaker 2: on the Trump administration's efforts to toughen immigration laws. Obviously, previously,

374
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:11,360
Speaker 2: if you're an illegal alien, I'm gonna kick at old

375
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:14,680
Speaker 2: school and use the actual legal term. You can't make

376
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:20,920
Speaker 2: me say migrant. Ap you had jerks anyway, where was I? Oh? Previously,

377
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,480
Speaker 2: immigrants in the country illegally were committing a civil offense

378
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:26,680
Speaker 2: and could be detained and deported, but were not considered

379
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 2: to have committed a crime. You know, it's funny. Later

380
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 2: on in the show, I will be repeating a case

381
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:41,880
Speaker 2: made by others. I will not be making the case

382
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 2: because I don't want to get picketed. Who has the time,

383
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 2: but quoting the case made by others that there is

384
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 2: only one option for Israel, the annihilation of its foes.

385
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:58,440
Speaker 2: And indeed, if you look at the situation Israel is

386
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:01,920
Speaker 2: in and recent events, that's the only way it's ever

387
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 2: been dealt with in history, with no exceptions. And to

388
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 2: argue against that is to argue no, the sun rises

389
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 2: in the north. And yet we don't as a modern

390
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 2: homo sapien, we won't allow ourselves to say, oh, yeah,

391
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:21,880
Speaker 2: Israel has to wipe out their opponents, there's no other choice,

392
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:26,399
Speaker 2: because it's not the sort of thing you say. I

393
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 2: think it's similar. And the scale thing was a perfect

394
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:32,680
Speaker 2: introduction to this, to how all of America are a

395
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:38,680
Speaker 2: lot of America, including our politicians, deal with the immigration situation. Yeah,

396
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:42,200
Speaker 2: we pass laws, then ignore them, and the system is

397
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 2: just a gigantic festival of lawlessness that we kind of

398
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 2: nudge back and forth a little bit, but nobody is

399
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:56,119
Speaker 2: willing to pass laws nobody's willing to compromise. The lobbyists

400
00:23:56,200 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 2: are too powerful, so we just permit rampant lawlessess.

401
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:06,680
Speaker 5: We just had the biggest non wartime migration in world history. Yeah,

402
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 5: into our country. Yeah, and nobody voted for it because

403
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:11,640
Speaker 5: it wasn't put up to a vote.

404
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 2: And as we were discussing previously, even the center left

405
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:19,399
Speaker 2: is now saying, yeah, it's a completely legitimate concern working

406
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:22,359
Speaker 2: people all over the globe. And calling people racist because

407
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:25,920
Speaker 2: they didn't like mass uncontrolled immigration is really wrong. You

408
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 2: shouldn't call them that. And all of us on the

409
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:32,200
Speaker 2: writer are like, oh, that's nice. Yeah, we havent for decades,

410
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:37,919
Speaker 2: but oh my god. Yeah, this is an interesting historical factoid.

411
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 2: A law passed in nineteen forty created an immigrant registry

412
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 2: to catch suspected commies. For years, the government aired television

413
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:53,360
Speaker 2: ads reminding all immigrants, including permanent residents, to register annually

414
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 2: at local post offices. System fell into disuse by the

415
00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 2: nineteen sixties, when the government decided it was too costly

416
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 2: and provide I did a little benefit. President GW. Bush

417
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 2: created a similar immigration registry after September eleventh, when his

418
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 2: administration required men and boys from predominantly Muslim countries to

419
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:17,440
Speaker 2: submit photographs and fingerprints to the federal government. Tens of

420
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 2: thousands of people who registered under the program were arrested

421
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 2: and deported. I'd forgotten that I have well, and remember, yeah,

422
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:29,119
Speaker 2: Obama got tagged with the Deporter in chief for the

423
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 2: number of people he deported. But I got a question

424
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 2: for you on that whole thing, which we'll tell you

425
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:37,920
Speaker 2: about right after this. Because when you leave your house,

426
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 2: do you fear that somebody might break in? You don't

427
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 2: have to if you got simply safe set up. I mean,

428
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 2: that's what I got going on with active Guard outdoor protection.

429
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 2: I got the sign out front of my house.

430
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 5: I love that says this house is protected with simply safe,

431
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:53,120
Speaker 5: and it is protected with the cameras and the censors

432
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 5: and the live guard protection and all that.

433
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, especially if you live in a blue state or city,

434
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 2: you need simply save so many junkies and scumbags and

435
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 2: criminals oochin about. And with simply safe to active Guard

436
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:11,160
Speaker 2: for outdoor protection, they stop breakings before they happen. It's

437
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:16,400
Speaker 2: really fabulous. And monitoring plans this advanced with AI start

438
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:19,680
Speaker 2: affordably at around a bucket day no long term contracts

439

443
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:36,960
Speaker 2: no safe like simply safe. So here's my question, as

444
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 2: before we take a break and get to mail bag.

445
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:43,440
Speaker 2: I think the number they're going with is nine million

446
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 2: people came in illegally during Biden's presidency. What percentage of

447
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 2: those people will be booted out of the country do

448
00:26:52,200 --> 00:27:03,920
Speaker 2: you think at the end of nine million? Ah, three percent? Maybe? Really? Wow? Well,

449
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:06,719
Speaker 2: here's here's the thing, and I've been intending to get

450
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 2: to this. It's so the.

451
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:10,159
Speaker 5: Polling is the question on the polling, as you know,

452
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 5: is you know anyone here illegally, any undocumented immigrant, should

453
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 5: they be booted out of the country? And the two

454
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 5: thirds of Americans say yes, that's been pretty consistent, And

455
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 5: you're thinking and that would be all of them, not

456
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 5: just during Biden everyone, So in your thinking it's going

457
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 5: to be more like three percent.

458
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:33,960
Speaker 2: Well that's not that's not what people are hoping. Yeah,

459
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:37,480
Speaker 2: the primary problem is that the mechanisms for booting people

460
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 2: out of the country are very small an atrophied. It's

461
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:46,159
Speaker 2: it's just not been done. The Deporter in Chief thing

462
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 2: was all about the people come across the border, and

463
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:51,120
Speaker 2: you can kick them out immediately if you catch them.

464
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:53,479
Speaker 2: But if they go into the interior, then they get

465
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:56,159
Speaker 2: due process a law, and we just don't have the judges,

466
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:59,120
Speaker 2: we don't have the courts, we don't have the attorneys. Wow.

467
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 2: So that's a big win for the forces that wanted

468
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 2: this to happen.

469
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:06,160
Speaker 5: And those forces exist on the right and the left

470
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 5: and absolutely and they have different goals, I assume, but

471
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 5: still we're all for this giant wave of people again,

472
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:17,919
Speaker 5: unlike anything in world history.

473
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:21,639
Speaker 2: And there's no reason you should be excited about this.

474
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 2: You live in small town Indiana or whatever, and all

475
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:27,440
Speaker 2: of a sudden, your culture, your school's, your hospital, everything

476
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,359
Speaker 2: has changed. You cannot convince me that I should be

477
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:33,680
Speaker 2: happy about that. Don't give me any crap about nation

478
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 2: of immigrants or rising tide boats or whatever. Their city

479
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 2: is their greatest stringth I've lived the greatest string. I've

480
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 2: lived this reality. It's bs that I should be happy

481
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 2: about this. It is as you have said, and I

482
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 2: have said, the greatest failure of democracy of our lifetimes. Wow.

483
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 2: If you're right, then wow, that is that's going to

484
00:28:56,720 --> 00:29:00,080
Speaker 2: have ramifications for well forever. I hope I'm wrong. You

485
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 2: know it might be ten percent. That's an optimistic view. Wow. Wow. Yeah,

486
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 2: we've got mail bag on the way to stay here.

487
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 2: Trump having this first cabinet meeting today, and the most

488
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 2: interesting thing is that, uh, Elon is going to be there.

489
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 5: And the question out there is will Elon like be

490
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 5: the focus sitting in the middle doing most of the talking. Well,

491
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 5: he'd be off to the side since he's not actually

492
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 5: a member of the cabinet and just observing. Uh, it

493
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 5: will give us an indication of how he's being treated

494
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 5: or seen. I think he's there for a reason.

495
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 2: Clearly, it's gonna say, hey, y'all's here's what we're going

496
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 2: to do to reign in all your departments. Get started, cabinet,

497
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 2: the order of hay no, well, the world's richest men,

498
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 2: an unelected something something. Yeah. Will they bring a kid? Yeah, exactly,

499
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 2: one of his thirteen kids. Keep your nose pickers out

500
00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 2: of the cabinet meeting. I love kids. That kid was

501
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 2: sweet and cute to This is serious business. Now here's

502
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 2: your freedom loving quote of the day. Continuing with our

503
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 2: series from the great George Washington, I'm reminded of Pete

504
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 2: Hegseeth hoping to bring a warrior mentality back to the Pentagon,

505
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 2: and a great editorial in the Wall Street Journal recently

506
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 2: about how we need to market the military is a

507
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 2: chance for young men and women, but mostly men, to

508
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 2: achieve excellence, to be the best version of themselves they

509
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:30,600
Speaker 2: can be. And it also made the point we got

510
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:33,800
Speaker 2: to say, hey, this is for warriors. There are also

511
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 2: some cool benefits, not come for benefits, and either way

512
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 2: you might end up in a wooer. Right. No, no,

513
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 2: that's not the way to build a military anyway, George Washington.

514
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 2: Discipline is the soul of an army. It makes small

515
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 2: numbers formidable, procures success to the week, and esteem to

516
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 2: all interesting And keep this in mind next time you

517
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 2: utter a foul word. Washington also said the foolish and

518
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 2: wicked practice of profane cursing and swearing is a vice

519
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 2: so mean and low that every person of sense and

520
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:15,080
Speaker 2: character detests and despises it. Wow. Times have changed, Damn Yeah,

521
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 2: they have, George but thank you. He was a dignified man.

522
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 2: You can all use a little more George Washington in US,

523
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:26,560
Speaker 2: couldn't we mailbag pups? No mailbag at armstrong in giddy

524
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 2: dot com is the email address. Let's see this from Jen,

525
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 2: writing on a few topics, fan of the silk pillowcases. Okay,

526
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:39,720
Speaker 2: better for your hair, better for your skin. I don't

527
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:43,960
Speaker 2: have hair, you have skin, though clearly, clearly you do.

528
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 2: She also writes, Guys, some of the people that answer

529
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:51,520
Speaker 2: no opinion on poles, which we were mocking yesterday, cruelly

530
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 2: and unfairly in my mind. But anyway, she says, some

531
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 2: of the people that answer no opinion polls are undoubtedly

532
00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:01,719
Speaker 2: paste eaters and window lickuors. Window lickers, I gotta use

533
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:03,960
Speaker 2: that one more. But there has to be a certain

534
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,480
Speaker 2: percentage that just don't want to answer any more questions

535
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:09,760
Speaker 2: and want to be on their way source. I've done it, Yeah,

536
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:11,320
Speaker 2: that's true. I've done it before.

537
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 1: Right.

538
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 2: You said this would take five minutes. We're fifteen minutes

539
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:17,320
Speaker 2: in no opinion? Do you'd think doge is a good

540
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:23,160
Speaker 2: thinger about no opinion? Matt the Idaho Farmhand, likewise, writing

541
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 2: on a number of topics, But he says, jack, as

542
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 2: to your query as to how things have changed in

543
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:31,120
Speaker 2: hospitals when one's child is born due to the gender

544
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 2: bending madness these days. Just recently welcomed our seventh into

545
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 2: the world. Wow Wow, Matt, the Idaho farmhand every bit

546
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:43,320
Speaker 2: as fertile as the land he plows. Wow seven. Anyway,

547
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:46,480
Speaker 2: even out here in conservative Idaho, they don't announce the

548
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 2: sex of the child anymore. Thank you for using the

549
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:51,240
Speaker 2: proper term. It's sex non gender. Now the doctors and

550
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:55,480
Speaker 2: nurses say it's ah and leave the parents to fill

551
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 2: in the plank. You're that we hate dodge potential trouble.

552
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:02,040
Speaker 2: You're kidding me. So they hold the baby up for

553
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 2: you and say it's uh and what let you fill

554
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 2: in the blank, Like one of those annoying classes you

555
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:10,640
Speaker 2: take where the teacher makes you say the end even

556
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 2: though everybody knows it and it's just a question. Who's

557
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 2: gonna say A boy? So we can move on with

558
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:17,840
Speaker 2: the damn class. I've always hated that. But yeah, if

559
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:20,240
Speaker 2: you're a parent who says whatever they want to be,

560
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:24,840
Speaker 2: then you can do that. Yes, And they think another

561
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:29,960
Speaker 2: woke crack pot they're doing that. Yeah, he says, kind

562
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 2: of weird that they're that cowed. I would agree, Wow, yeah, yeah, sick.

563
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 2: Oh that reminds me. H yeah, well, we'll get to

564
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:43,520
Speaker 2: it later. It's a great wild It's a great bit

565
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:49,520
Speaker 2: from Fred Armison's Genius Portlandia several years ago that was

566
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:55,800
Speaker 2: portraying mockingly the Portlandian view of gender. Okay, and that

567
00:33:55,960 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 2: went in a few years from mockable to enforced federal policy.

568
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:05,520
Speaker 2: I want to hear that. Yeah, anyway, you've heard it before.

569
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:08,760
Speaker 2: It's one of our favorites. But it's I was reminded

570
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:14,880
Speaker 2: of recently. Let's see moving along. Alnonymous right, twenty year listener,

571
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:18,239
Speaker 2: thanks for making commuting bearable. It's our pleasure. And he

572
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 2: mentioned that we had a couple of different conversations back

573
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 2: to back that were related, but he thinks we missed it.

574
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:28,239
Speaker 2: We're talking about Jack was discussing forcing his son to

575
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:30,919
Speaker 2: make a piece of ike of furniture so he could

576
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:33,960
Speaker 2: have basic skills like turning a screwdriver, and then I

577
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:36,360
Speaker 2: went on a rant about why people aren't coupling, and

578
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:38,759
Speaker 2: he said, you guys missed how connected those two subjects are.

579
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:40,680
Speaker 2: And he tells a rather charming tale that we don't

580
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:45,720
Speaker 2: have the whole time for. But he's dating a woman

581
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 2: and one of her friends was having a hard time

582
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:51,280
Speaker 2: mounting a TV mount on the wall of her apartment.

583
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:54,440
Speaker 2: Girlfriend asked, can you help her? And so while the

584
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:57,320
Speaker 2: gal sat around and had a cocktail and chatted, he

585
00:34:57,520 --> 00:35:01,760
Speaker 2: fired the thing up. And he said, the sexual tension

586
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:04,840
Speaker 2: in the room, the bedroom eyes from all of the

587
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:11,239
Speaker 2: women toward a guy who could do things was palpable. Wow. Yes,

588
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 2: I come from a world where every guy could do

589
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:18,120
Speaker 2: things so well, shucking me. But then he goes on

590
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:21,240
Speaker 2: society's taking it too far with the woman power stuff

591
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:23,399
Speaker 2: and not needing a man. It's not only affected the women,

592
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:25,720
Speaker 2: but made young men no longer men. Men are afraid

593
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:29,000
Speaker 2: to be men. That's looked down upon. And the problem

594
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:30,840
Speaker 2: is that women down deep really want a real man.

595
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 2: As we've discussed many times, he's absolutely right. Jd Vance

596
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:37,799
Speaker 2: had that great speech the other day at Seapack. Young

597
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:40,640
Speaker 2: men don't be ashamed to be men, don't be ashamed

598
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:42,840
Speaker 2: to be in masculine kind of madness?

599
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 7: Is this you concur Katie irm that all of my

600
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:50,799
Speaker 7: single girlfriends are foaming at the mouth for actual men,

601
00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:52,759
Speaker 7: manly men who can do things.

602
00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:55,359
Speaker 2: I feel like I hear that a lot myself from

603
00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:58,600
Speaker 2: women out there in the world of online dating or whatever.

604
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:02,239
Speaker 2: Rare man. I wish I was younger, righty, tidy, lefty lucy.

605
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 2: I can lift twenty pounds clear over my head. Man,

606
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:08,280
Speaker 2: Would I be a catch? Whoever thought turning a screwdriver

607
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:10,239
Speaker 2: or changing entire would be a way to, you know,

608
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 2: get it to bed right? Making an ikea desk? Now,

609
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:20,920
Speaker 2: look how capable he is. That's not that hard. Oh,

610
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:23,000
Speaker 2: if you miss an hour, get the podcast Armstrong and

611
00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:26,720
