Speaker 1: bowels of the Armstrong and Getty Communications Compounding. Hey, y'all,

6
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 1: today we are under the tutelage of our general manager.

7
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:49,879
Speaker 1: Conflict and chaos. Oh yay, oh goodie, thanks for that,

8
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: Oh boy and Loman, they'd I and hose open, they'd

9
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: promote Jim from accounting for general manager instead of instead

10
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 1: they hired conflicting chaos. Unless you mean NFL playoff football

11
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:06,839
Speaker 1: or college That's exactly what I've met. That's conflicting chaos.

12
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 1: It's a good point, andentrol chaos. But yeah, yeah, fair enough,

13
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 1: brightly colored uniforms. Watch NFL Wildcar Weekend, which is some

14
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 1: big NFL fans favorite weekends when you got a whole

15
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 1: bunch of playoff games going at one time and anyone

16
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 1: could win. With the Kansas City Chiefs not in it

17
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 1: for the first time in like a decade, it's more

18
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,039
Speaker 1: of a wide open on both sides sort of situations.

19
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: So there you go. Very exciting, great, great, great college

20
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 1: football game last night if you watched it, to Miami

21
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 1: came from behind and beat poor old miss. So we'll

22
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: play either Indiana or Oregon, who played tonight, which will

23
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: be exciting. There you go, that'll be a good ball game. Yeah,

24
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 1: I'm going to catch some of that action. I said

25
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: this yesterday too, and this isn't really about sports. If

26
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 1: you're not a sports fan, the quarterback for Indiana is

27
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 1: one of those special human beings is that you run

28
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: into now and then and if you man, if you

29
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: haven't caught his act as a sports fan or even

30
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 1: a non sports fan, is just like a positive energy

31
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 1: guy or leadership person or something. He's either going to

32
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 1: be a giant NFL star or a motivational speaker or

33
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: end up the CEO of Ford or something. But he

34
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 1: is a white president, he is well yeah, exactly, Yeah,

35
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,639
Speaker 1: he is quite the dude. You remember when young men

36
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: in America and little girls theoretically could grow up and

37
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 1: dream of being president. That was like this, in this

38
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 1: great country, you could grow up and be president. That

39
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 1: was that was not a cliche truism in America. It

40
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: was a bromide a saying that we all knew and

41
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 1: now it's like, oh god, no, oh, why are you

42
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: threatening me? Well, it's it's been that way for for

43
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 1: some people for a long time. I just started that

44
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 1: Assassination of Garfield mini series on Netflix. What's it called?

45
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:56,639
Speaker 1: About the Lightnings? I'm about the last Blood everywhere disgusting. Yeah,

46
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:58,919
Speaker 1: death by lightning, Death by lightning. And it's about the

47
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 1: assassination of James Garfield, which nobody knows anything about, if

48
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: he even knew. There wasn't a session ate. I mean,

49
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 1: I barely knew it. And I'm a big giant fan

50
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 1: of presidential stuff, and this mini series lays it's about

51
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: the crazy guy who shot him and about Garfield himself,

52
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 1: and at least the way it's Garfield's portrayed in this show.

53
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,640
Speaker 1: He had no interest in being president, right. He goes

54
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 1: to the convention to cast his votes for this dude

55
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 1: Sherman to try to get him to be the nominee,

56
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 1: and somebody nominates him and then he ends up the

57
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: nominee and then president. He had no interest in being president.

58
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 1: His wife didn't want it, he didn't want it. It

59
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 1: was one of those they were terribly divided and there

60
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: were thirty seven ballots, and finally somebody said, look, everybody

61
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: likes Garfield. He's a good and decent man. And every

62
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: faction said, yeah, actually, Garfield's a pretty good guy. And

63
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 1: he's like, what the hell are you doing? And you

64
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: know what's really interesting. We didn't talk about this because

65
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 1: the news flow has just been insane this week. The

66
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 1: shooter at Brown University put out video confessions there in

67
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 1: his storage locker where he killed himself, thankfully ending his

68
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: miserable life. Unfortunately he ended it too late, but essentially

69
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 1: he was one of those sad pathetic losers who blamed

70
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 1: everyone else for his sad pathetic life and his failures.

71
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,359
Speaker 1: And the guy who shot Garfield, at least as portrayed

72
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 1: by the miniseries very much the same. God. That's exactly

73
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 1: what I was thinking last night. I couldn't quite get

74
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 1: it together. Here's a very angry, sad loser who at

75
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 1: some point latched onto a way for his suicide to happen. Yeah, essentially, yeah,

76
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,720
Speaker 1: uh huh. Which it turns out throughout history, the more

77
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: you think about it, I think are the more you

78
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,839
Speaker 1: observe it. A lot of the major assassinations throughout history

79
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 1: or terrorist attacks or whatever were perpetrated not so much

80
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 1: by somebody with a strong ideology or like they're really

81
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 1: going to accomplish something. They're just crazy people that needed

82
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:02,280
Speaker 1: the thing to unleash their vibe on or to make

83
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:06,280
Speaker 1: them the big big man they had always believed they were,

84
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 1: and that the world wasn't recognizing. That was the Garfield case.

85
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 1: A lot of people believe that was Lee Harvey Oswald.

86
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 1: You know. The John Wilkes booth thing is the exception,

87
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 1: not the rule. Definitely, the dedicated ideologue, definitely. Anyway, the

88
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: other really really crazy interesting thing I've discovered in the

89
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,159
Speaker 1: last twenty four hours, and maybe we can get into

90
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 1: this later. We'll have to decide to so much to

91
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 1: talk about is conspiratualism. These people who, for various reasons,

92
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 1: they latch onto conspiracy deep you know, deep conspiracy, rabbit

93
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:43,160
Speaker 1: hole Qanani stuff and exists on the left too, absolutely

94
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,719
Speaker 1: and get a near religious attachment to it or or

95
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:53,039
Speaker 1: virtually religious attachment to it. I've just been reading about that,

96
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 1: and it's frequently an elaborate coping mechanism dealing with the

97
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 1: trauma of their lives and that sort of thing. But

98
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 1: oh my god, it snapped my head back. It was

99
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 1: so interesting and revealing. Oh I really want to hear

100
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: about that. We were probably better off as apes. The

101
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,479
Speaker 1: human brain got too big, too complicated, too prone to

102
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 1: going off in wacky directions. So back to the trees.

103
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 1: That's my rallying cry. Nobody tunes us in, especially on

104
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 1: a Friday for presidential minutia. But just while it's in

105
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 1: my mind that Garfield show, which, by the way, I

106
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:28,599
Speaker 1: think a lot of people would like. It's really well done.

107
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 1: It's pretty good drama whatever. Yeah, agreed. Was Chester A Arthur,

108
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:34,479
Speaker 1: who again is just a name.

109
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 2: I know.

110
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:38,279
Speaker 1: I knew nothing about Chester A Arthur. I knew he

111
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,720
Speaker 1: was a president, knew nothing about him until this show.

112
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:45,479
Speaker 1: Was he actually a violent thug like that? I don't

113
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 1: know to what extent that's true. I remember learning that

114
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 1: he was very much a party hack. He's not really

115
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 1: well respected as a statesman or thinker. But boy, the

116
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,159
Speaker 1: presidents we always make jokes about on President's Day of

117
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,039
Speaker 1: being nothing's whatever, turn out at least in this show

118
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,480
Speaker 1: to be pretty fascinating. It looks like Chester A. Arthur

119
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 1: was the kind of guy that would take people in

120
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:08,719
Speaker 1: a back alley and beat him down to get the

121
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 1: money out of him or whatever. He was like. He

122
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: was like a Paully Walnuts in the Sopranos, and he

123
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 1: ends up vice president. Yeah, Makien, politics were pretty brutal

124
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 1: back in the day, and then Garfield gets assassinated and

125
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 1: then he's president. But yeah, wow, that's interesting. We're we've

126
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 1: got some disgusting politics now, but there's a lot less

127
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 1: taking people into alleys and beating the money out of them,

128
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 1: right right, Yeah, let's start the show officially. There's so

129
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 1: much to talk about today. I can't wait to talk

130
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 1: about Aram. Very excited about what's going on there. Optimistic

131
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 1: or at least we're getting to the crossroads where the

132
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 1: Mullas are going to decide. All right, that's enough of that. Yeah,

133
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 1: But like Venezuela, the question of what's next, the most

134
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 1: likely answer is not terribly palatable. But more on that

135
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 1: to come. I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe Getty on this

136
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 1: it is Friday, January ninth, year, twenty twenty six. How

137
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 1: did that happen? We are Armstrong and Getty and we

138
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 1: approve of this program. Well let's begin. Then, here we

139
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 1: go officially according to f CC rules. Reggs show starts

140
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: at mark.

141
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 3: A new episode of his podcast, Kansas City Chief star

142
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 3: Travis Kelsey said that he won't make a decision about

143
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 3: retirement for a month and added that he's quote just

144
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 3: being a regular human for a couple of weeks. You know,

145
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 3: a regular human who's engaged to Taylor Swift and contemplating

146
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 3: retirement at thirty six.

147
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 1: This regular dude stuff. Yeah, sitting on an enormous pile

148
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 1: of money. But that's place. See, he can't, you know,

149
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey is the perfect test case for do you

150
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 1: resent people just because they're successful? I mean, what are

151
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 1: you going to resent about the dude? I don't know,

152
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 1: he's very likable, but what a what could anything turn

153
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:50,079
Speaker 1: your life more upside down even when you're already wealthy

154
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:54,199
Speaker 1: and famous, than getting engaged to Taylor Swift. I mean,

Speaker 1: the bone. First, let's figure out who's reporting what it's

177
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 1: the lead story. Oh my gosh, we have plenty of

178
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 1: time for Katie Green.

179
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 4: Katie all right, So let's start with the main headline here,

180
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 4: ABC News Minneapolis Ice shooting. Officer involved in shooting was

181
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 4: injured in a June incident NBC Minnesota and Portland shootings

182
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:37,920

00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 4: York Post Renee Good was Minneapolis quote Ice Watch warrior

184
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 4: who trained to resist Feds prior to shooting.

185
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:51,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the ramming of ICE officers in their vehicles

186
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,680
Speaker 1: is going on nationwide. Ain't a joke. They're all aware

187
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 1: of it. People are getting hurt badly. Stop it now

188
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 1: or you might get shot in your head. Are they LARPing?

189
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 1: Joe had a piece for us yesterday about these people

190
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 1: who are kind of LARPing until they run into reality.

191
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 1: It's really interesting. It's changed kind of the way I

192
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,559
Speaker 1: look at these people. Also, that got a lot of

193
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 1: attention yesterday that the officer that shotter had been drugged

194
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 1: by a car by a protester already earlier and he

195
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 1: got what two hundred stitches. Yeah, he got hurt and

196
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 1: had to be feared for his life when that happened before.

197
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 1: So that would have an effect on your reaction. Yeah.

198
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 4: From the Washington Post. Iranian protests and strikes escalate as

199
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 4: leader vows state will not back down.

200
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 1: I listened to a journalist out of Iran yesterday and

201
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 1: they are really ramping up the protests. The opposition leader

202
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 1: dude who is a crown prince of something that is

203
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 1: calling for the protests every single night. People are coming

204
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 1: out of what is it, one hundred and ten towns

205
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 1: cities across Iran now that have protests in them. That

206
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:05,839
Speaker 1: way bigger than any protests have been previously. Right, right,

207
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 1: it's an oh, go ahead, you add more. They shut down.

208
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 1: But the bad guys, and they are bad guys. They

209
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 1: pulled in their security forces and are bringing in the

210
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 1: Iranian Revolutionary Guard to try to deal with the situation.

211
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:22,199
Speaker 1: That's just like in the last forty eight hours, right, Yeah,

212
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:25,320
Speaker 1: it's such an interesting phenomenon of uprisings like this that

213
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 1: you have to alter, I'm sorry, offer an alternative. You

214
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 1: can't just say down with the powers that be. There's

215
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,560
Speaker 1: got to be an alternative to rally around. And in

216
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 1: this case, the best they can come up with is

217
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 1: the son of the deposed Shaw, who'd almost certainly become

218
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:44,439
Speaker 1: a figurehead in something like a republic more of a democracy,

219
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 1: kind of British style something like that. But you've got

220
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 1: to have that that figurehead. You can't just say, hey, democracy,

221
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 1: there's got to be a person.

222
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 4: From The New York Times, Trump says more US attacks

223
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,439
Speaker 4: on Venezuela quote will not be needed.

224
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 1: Nogay would I wouldn't think so. We grabbed a couple

225
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 1: more Russian tankers. Russia's really mad. It is. Well, how

226
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 1: much of this whole Venezuela thing is that? It's just

227
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 1: like an end around on the whole Ukraine Russia deal.

228
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:21,080
Speaker 1: I'd say it's an add on advantage.

229
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:26,439
Speaker 4: From the Wall Street Journal, White House ballroom architect said

230
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 4: a West Wing edition is under consideration, going to be

231
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 4: some ballroom.

232
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 1: Can't wait. I hope I get invited to many balls.

233
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 4: From Fox News, Naked woman allegedly assaults deputy while intoxicated

234

235
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 1: Well try harder, sweetheart number one. You're on try land

236
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,840
Speaker 1: number two. You still got legs the whole mermaid. I

237
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 1: saw a dude yesterday on a moped, like a cool

238
00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:00,320
Speaker 1: vintage moped. I mean, this is like the hipster of hips.

239
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 1: He's on a cool vintage moped. He's got a tail,

240
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:08,560
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, tail or some sort of tale, the free thing,

241
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 1: free tale.

242
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 2: Lord.

245
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:18,679
Speaker 1: sideburns and some sort of wacky old timey hat. All right,

246
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 1: so help you. This is bordering on old man shouting

247
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 1: at clouds. But we need a great deal more of

248
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 1: this in our society. Yeah, I get it. Look at me,

249
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 1: look at me, look at me. Accomplish something then someone

253
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 1: If you're twelve, okay, great, I get it. But if

254
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 1: you're a grown ass man or ought to be, there

255
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 1: ought to be more judgment, harsh judgment of that sort

256
00:14:56,240 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 1: of thing, because it's sad. Do something, accomplish some something,

00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 1: drink beer with the beer, wine with the pizza. It

277
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 1: was if the ones shop stop shopping.

278
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I have two Babylon Bees because I couldn't decide.

279
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 4: So the first one is teenager confused how parents still

280
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 4: don't know everything?

281
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 1: But it only took him sixteen years. That's pretty good.

282
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 1: And then the other.

283
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 4: One is Greenland Panics, as Marco Rubio is seen donning

00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 1: headline of the last six months or so. I don't

287
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 1: want to paraphrase it because it's so good. But it

288
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 1: has to do with the the Minnesota Social Services ripoff scandal.

289
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 1: Joe is going to re explain to us the LARPing

290
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:05,879
Speaker 1: element of these protesters. Really, yeah, the poor stupid lady

291
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:09,199
Speaker 1: who got shot in the head. Just what what are

292
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:12,640
Speaker 1: those people doing? What do they think they're doing? Marping?

293
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 1: Pretty well illustrated. Marping is the acronym for live action

294
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:20,159
Speaker 1: role playing. Yeah, essentially, well, yes, yes, and that's what

295
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,440
Speaker 1: they're doing. I never thought about it this way before.

296
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 1: It's pretty interesting. It's what's going on all across the country.

297
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:37,119
Speaker 1: On the way Armstrong and Getty, Oh a beautiful Chester,

Speaker 1: Joe and I are about to launch into content completely

299
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:43,679
Speaker 1: forgetting the first Friday of the new year that this

300
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:46,360
Speaker 1: is where we do clips of the week, right right,

301
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:49,880
Speaker 1: and the very people who are supposed to be part

302
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 1: of the team to present the show. Instead of pointing

303
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 1: out that fact, I'm saying, hey, dude, you got clips

304
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:57,920
Speaker 1: of the week, so maybe move that other feature a

305
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:02,360
Speaker 1: little No, no, no, they just remain silent, giggling like idiots.

306
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 1: Hope and we'll screw up some team. This is now.

307
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 1: Miami wouldn't have won that game last night, so it

308
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:11,200
Speaker 1: couldn't be now.

309
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:13,399
Speaker 4: I will say, last time this happened, there was some

310
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:16,400
Speaker 4: coordination going on behind the scenes. We were all in cahoots.

311
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 1: I had nothing to do with that. I am Michael.

312
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 1: This is all Michael. Yeah. So it's like Aaron Rodgers

313
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:26,119
Speaker 1: offensive line knows he thinks it's going to be a pass,

314
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 1: but it's a run. This is hilarious. Oh yeah, we're

315
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 1: gonna get let him get wiped out by the defensive tackle. Yeah, Michael, Well,

316
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:36,679
Speaker 1: we'll wait, we'll we'll wait for a moment.

317
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:36,879
Speaker 2: Man.

318
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 1: Someday it will come and revenge will be sweet. I

319
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 1: completely forgot the Clips of the Week even existed. I didn't.

320
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 1: I just hadn't thought of it for a while. All right,

321
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:48,920
Speaker 1: So let's we'll get to that stuff in a few minutes.

322
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:51,920
Speaker 1: It's fascinating and compelling and trust us. But first, let's

323
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:54,119
Speaker 1: take fun look back at the insane week that was.

324
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 1: It's cow clips of the Week. What a great game?

325
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 1: This is going give me our first day big problems here,

326
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:16,879
Speaker 1: what you get it. We will replace the frigidity of

327
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 1: rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism. Families, especially white families,

328
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 1: but some UOC families who are homeowners as well are

329
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 1: going to have a different relationship to property than than

330
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,879
Speaker 1: than the one that we currently have. I want you

331
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 1: to give me one example of socialism you think working

332
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:40,920
Speaker 1: well somewhere. I think of Cuba in particular. That's coming

333
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 1: to day becoming.

334
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:51,359
Speaker 3: Nobody's gonna fight the United States militarily over the future

335
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:51,960
Speaker 3: of Greenlands.

336
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:53,640
Speaker 1: One last question, see it make any sense?

337
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:57,160
Speaker 2: One helony and protesters taking to the streets of their

338
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:57,880
Speaker 2: country again.

339
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:01,359
Speaker 1: Iron's government is now and he got payments, payments of

340
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:04,359
Speaker 1: seven dollars a month to help people afford food.

341
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 2: The United States Armed Forces conducted an extraordinary military operation

342
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 2: in the capital of Venezuela, Operation Absolute Resolve. This was

343
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:23,160
Speaker 2: an audacious operation. Nicholas Uduro had his chance. He left

344
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 2: around and he found out.

345
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:27,920
Speaker 1: And he's a violent guy.

346
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 2: He gets up there and he tries to imitate my

347
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 2: dance a little bit.

348
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:36,160
Speaker 1: The American people did not sign up for this kind

349
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 1: of adventurism. So we are going to run the country.

350
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 1: So those of you who thought this whole project was

351
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 1: globalhomo oh crazy. Actually we are.

352
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 4: Under assault like no other time in our state's history.

353
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:58,680
Speaker 1: It was an active domestic terrorism, and she attempted to

354
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 1: run an law enforcement officer over. I want to tell

355
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:07,399
Speaker 1: everybody directly that is both. So it looked like she

356
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 1: was impeding ICE vehicles. Definitely, yeah, that was her goal.

357
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:15,440
Speaker 2: And I have a message for Ice to Ice get

358
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 2: the fuck out of Minneapolis.

359
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 1: It's clips of the week, first week of the year,

360
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:26,639
Speaker 1: first week back. Two giant stories, very very short follow

361
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:30,919
Speaker 1: up to that. First of all, if anybody is left

362
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:37,439
Speaker 1: thinking that I Joe Getty was like being hyperbolic or

363
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 1: paranoid in describing the social justice crowd as neo Marxists

364
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 1: when they say we need to confiscate private property. Now

365
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:49,720
Speaker 1: do you believe me? Anyway? Moving along, so on the

366
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 1: Minnesota shooting. The Minneapolis shooting, it's interesting. I think a

367
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 1: heck of a lot of people on the right are

368
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 1: coming together and agreeing that this poor woman, Renee Nicole

369
00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 1: Good is an unfortunate dupe and it's very very sad

370
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,440
Speaker 1: that she got shot, which I think is a good

371
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:08,439
Speaker 1: and healthy way to look at it. There are a

372
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 1: couple of ways I'd like to frame what happened, and

373
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 1: I think if you understand these two things, you'll really,

374
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:17,679
Speaker 1: really really understand what happened Number one. I mentioned it

375
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 1: yesterday that Marxists are trained to put you in predicaments.

376
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 1: You can't win decision to them, as they call them,

377
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 1: You taunt, you impede law enforcement until they take a

378
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 1: swing at you, and then you post the video online

379
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:34,879
Speaker 1: and say, look at the fascist brutes were up against

380
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 1: any attempt to rally people to the cause. It's actually

381
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 1: it's in writing Read Rules for Radicals by Saul Lensky.

382
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 1: It's a well known strategy. They do it all the time.

383
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:46,400
Speaker 1: In this case, it went way, way, way, wait, way

384
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 1: too far. This woman believed, as one writer put it,

385
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 1: she'd been radicalized by her fellow lefty political friends that

386
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:03,440
Speaker 1: ice are monsters that she must fight. She bought all

387
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:06,440
Speaker 1: the fascist coming into our communities to blah blah blah,

388
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 1: and she imagined that she was a brave resistance fighter.

389
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,439
Speaker 1: Which brings us to an absolutely terrific piece that we

390
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:16,360
Speaker 1: shared late in the show yesterday, And if you've heard

391
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 1: it before, I hope you enjoyed as much as we did.

392
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 1: And it's very thought provoking. It's written by a gal

393
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:26,400
Speaker 1: who has an anonymous account on Twitter, but is quite

394
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 1: smart anyway. I think a lot of radicalization happens in

395
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 1: spaces where it's all talk. Everything is hypothetical. It's easy

396
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:36,679
Speaker 1: to LARP as a revolutionary. That's live action role playing

397
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,359
Speaker 1: as someone who stands against oppression. There's a lack of

398
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:43,360
Speaker 1: seriousness about it all. You start to believe the memes.

399
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:46,200
Speaker 1: You start to believe you're a hero, you're the main character.

400
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:49,679
Speaker 1: Then you convince yourself to do something really dumb, like

401
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,680
Speaker 1: pull your car in front of police officers. They draw

402
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:55,719
Speaker 1: their guns, and the LARP crumbles. You're not that person.

403
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 1: This is real life and those are real guns. Nothing

404
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:01,439
Speaker 1: but get the hell out of here, screams in her brain.

405
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:04,439
Speaker 1: She probably didn't see the officer standing in front of

406
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 1: her car as she smashes the gas. The officer can't

407
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:10,159
Speaker 1: know this, of course, they don't know what she's thinking.

408
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:12,439
Speaker 1: They just know when guns were drawn asking her to

409
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 1: step out of her vehicle, she slammed on the gas

410
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 1: in the direction of an officer. They're not in a LARP.

411
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 1: Their job is real and they encounter people who want

412
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 1: to kill them, so they fire. No one in this

413
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 1: woman's life told her she's on a retarded, destructive LARP.

414
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 1: She was encouraged by her peer group viral videos of

415
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 1: similarly lost radical larper's getting nothing but praise online politicians

416
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:36,360
Speaker 1: calling the enforcement of our laws akin to the Nazis,

417
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 1: calling them illegitimate, calling them evil, telling them, telling their

418
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 1: citizens to make their voices heard. Everyone in her life

419
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:46,159
Speaker 1: failed her. She needed someone to tell her to grow up. Instead,

420
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:48,680
Speaker 1: she had no one, and now she's dead, a horrible

421
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 1: case of internet radicalization. Yeah, I think that's really really good.

422
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 1: I think that describes some people I know who see

423
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:01,399
Speaker 1: this as all as kind of like an online game

424
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:05,199
Speaker 1: and well LARPing, live action role playing, as opposed to

425
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 1: reel their real laws and real consequences and real situations

426
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:11,920
Speaker 1: that people can get themselves into where people get hurt

427
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:12,719
Speaker 1: rightly or wrongly.

428
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:13,640
Speaker 2: Right.

429
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 1: I think it's revealing that her partner, lesbian partner, was

430
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:20,639
Speaker 1: screaming after the shooting, this is my fault, This is

431
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 1: my fault. I made her come down here to be

432
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:27,359
Speaker 1: a brave revolutionary standing up to Trump's fascist forces. I

433
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 1: thought it was interesting. Now none of this matters her.

434
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:33,359
Speaker 1: What she you know, her lifestyle doesn't have anything to

435
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 1: do with whether or not the cops get to shoot

436
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 1: her in this situation or not. Certainly not. Yeah, but

437
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:41,439
Speaker 1: it is kind of interesting. So she they mentioned on

438
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:43,320
Speaker 1: the news last night, And I'm going to rail about

439
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:46,119
Speaker 1: the CBS evening news coverage last night. I mean, nobody

440
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 1: watches these newscasts, so it doesn't matter that much. I

441
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 1: couldn't believe how incredibly bad a job they did of

442
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:59,160
Speaker 1: like informing America. What was going on there? Or why

443
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 1: why is ice there? Never came up, never came up

444
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 1: at all. But anyway, they mentioned just off handedly, when

445
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 1: her second husband died, she and she after that she

446
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 1: had had a kid, surgate kidd and adopted kid whatever

447
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:17,440
Speaker 1: they're lesbian part. So she is married to two dudes

448
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 1: before she got married to this woman. Yeah, and you

449
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 1: know all her other stuff. So it doesn't matter. I

450
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 1: just as an interesting you got, she got quite the life.

451
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 2: Yeah.

452
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 1: And a poet is said to be a fine poet.

453
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 1: I've said many times I love poets and dreamers and artists.

454
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:38,960
Speaker 1: I just don't want them in charge. Yeah, yeah, it's said.

455
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 1: And for what it's worth, two things, Trump and company

456
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:49,120
Speaker 1: never miss a chance to be belligerent in a way

457
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 1: that fires up opposition. I don't think that's smart. I

458
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 1: think there are times for that. It's absolutely appropriate to

459
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 1: come on strong rhetorically with the action whatever. Absolutely, but

460
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 1: it not always. Sometimes, as in law enforcement, you need

461
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 1: the buy in from the community to do it effectively.

462
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:16,200
Speaker 1: Any cop will tell you that. That's why good policing

463
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:20,400
Speaker 1: inquires a lot of community outrage outreach rather a lot

464
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 1: of it. When the cop comes in to the hood

465
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 1: because something's gone wrong, everybody says, oh, there's Jones, because

466
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:32,119
Speaker 1: Jones has been in the hood and introduced himself and

467
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:34,400
Speaker 1: said hello, and stopped in the stores and stuff like that.

468
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 1: It's an important part of policing. Never ending belligerence is

469
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 1: not going to help this situation, even if you're in

470
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:43,639
Speaker 1: the right, and I think some of it could be

471
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:46,880
Speaker 1: toned down a little bit. Absolutely. It got no attention

472
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 1: the day of the shooting. But Tom, because nobody wanted

473
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 1: to know, media wanted to hear from anybody being calmed.

474
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:57,399
Speaker 1: Tom Holman said, well, I think we should wait and

475
00:27:57,440 --> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 1: have an investigation. Tom Holman, who's you know, kind of

476
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:03,399
Speaker 1: fam on Fox and throwing red meat, was like the

477
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 1: grown up that day saying we should wait for an investigation.

478
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:08,680
Speaker 1: But in fact he said it would be unprofessional of

479
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 1: me to comment before all the facts are in. Oh

480
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:13,919
Speaker 1: my lord, I didn't even hear that till yesterday. There

481
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:17,000
Speaker 1: were no clips of that because that's not what people want.

482
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 1: They want the people declaring in a murder or the

483
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 1: exact opposite. I was watching CBS News last night, and

484
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:28,199
Speaker 1: it's just one newscast on a channel that, like most channels,

485
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:31,919
Speaker 1: very few people watch. But they interviewed a number of

486
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:34,760
Speaker 1: people on the street, all of them with the ICE

487
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:36,640
Speaker 1: has got to get out of here, this is America,

488
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:39,960
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. Never even gave a wink to the

489
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:43,280
Speaker 1: other side that about half the country agrees with. And

490
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 1: the reason that ICE is there at all, there was

491
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 1: a giant scandal. Nine billion dollars got stolen from taxpayers,

492
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 1: much of it by illegal immigrants. So they up to

493
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:58,160
Speaker 1: the number of ICE agents there to try to deal

494
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:01,680
Speaker 1: with all these illegal criminals. So they come into Minnesota.

495
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 1: That's what started this this whole thing, but never even

496
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 1: mentioned why federal agents would be there to try to

497
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:12,320
Speaker 1: arrest criminals. And whether or not they you know or not,

498
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 1: still doesn't mean you get to shoot people as a cop,

499
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 1: but you gotta have that background for some context. They

500
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 1: presented it as just like, I don't know, they just

501
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 1: sent in thugs for no reason to harass Minnesota's right.

502
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 1: It's outrageous, it's sad, it's sick, I praised CBS News.

503
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 1: I watched Tony de Couple's first UH broadcast and it

504
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 1: was it was pretty good, it was solid, it was something,

505
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:38,239
Speaker 1: but it was terrible. It was egregious. Last night they

506
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:40,959
Speaker 1: gave this one young black kid on the street, like

507
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 1: quote after quote after quote, who declared this kid the

508
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:48,160
Speaker 1: arbiter of what's right and wrong? And you made that

509
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 1: the center of your newscast. I just believe it's wrong

510
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 1: and they shouldn't be here, and blah blah, and they

511
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 1: went on and on. We asked once again, whatever his

512
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:57,160
Speaker 1: name was, what do you think follow up interview and

513
00:29:57,320 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 1: kit he was well into his twenties, But what what

514
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 1: Who can there's with this one person who clearly has

515
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 1: no idea. We would have an IQ of about seventy

516
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 1: eight too. Why the hell is he the spokesman for

517
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:11,960
Speaker 1: Minneapolis or America When you interview people on the street

518
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 1: who clearly don't have the slightest idea what sanctuary city

519
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 1: is or isn't what law enforcement supposed to do the

520
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 1: fact that are cracking down on illegal immigration, that we

521
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 1: have millions of illegals here and something needs to be

522
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 1: done about it. Why why wouldn't you give that context

523
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 1: to America? Well, it especially And my only quibbal with

524
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 1: your screen, which was most excellent, was that the percentage

525
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 1: of Americans who would agree with apprehending illegal immigrants who

526
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:41,640
Speaker 1: rip off the taxpayers would be closer to eighty eight

527
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 1: percent than half the country, virtually unanimous. But that's why

528
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 1: more ICE agents were sent in. Right then that's fine.

529
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 1: If you then say, and we think this was an

530
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 1: illegal shooting, that's fine, but you got to have all

531
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 1: that information, all right. My final note, I want to

532
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:03,280
Speaker 1: talk of about more about the topic of never ending

533
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 1: belligerence as a terrible strategy, both you know, for the

534
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 1: administration and for us as human beings. That's not how

535
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:16,720
Speaker 1: you change minds. What is your goal? What is your goal?

536
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:22,960
Speaker 1: If you're if your tactics don't fit your strategy, they're

537
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 1: bad tactics. If your strategy is to change minds, Michael,

538
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 1: I know we got to take an effing break. If

539
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 1: you make that gesture again, I'm gonna come in there

540
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 1: and do it on your forearm. That's way out of line.

541
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:38,120
Speaker 1: That's actually threatening violence. That was a little month. Oh

542
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 1: that was just awful, and I pat, I just want

543
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:45,880
Speaker 1: to finish my my god dang sentence. Never mind, go

544
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 1: to break. It's our top priority. Break. We've got mail

545
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 1: bag on the way. And then there's much more to

546
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:53,240
Speaker 1: say on this topic, no doubt about it. If you

547
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 1: want to say it. Here's our text line four one, five,

548
00:31:55,440 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 1: two nine five KFTZ. Jene has talked hopefully about this

549
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 1: in the past. Maybe it's gonna happen. It looks like

550
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:08,600
Speaker 1: gen Z is more likely to cut down on screen

551
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:13,640
Speaker 1: time than us gen xers or millennials on their own.

552
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 1: We can talk about that in hour two. First, here's

553
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 1: your freedom hating quote of the day. Super interesting. It

554
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 1: from the nuremberger Berg trials. Gurring was being interviewed by

555
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 1: a journalists about war and how it's tough to drag

556
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:30,280
Speaker 1: people to war in a way because they have nothing

557
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 1: to gain. Just getting home in one piece is all

558
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 1: they want. And the American journalist says, well, in a democracy,

559
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 1: we have Congress, so it's different. Blah blah bah. He said,

560
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:41,720
Speaker 1: all that's well and good, but the people can always

561
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 1: be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That's easy.

562
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 1: All you have to do is tell them they're being

563
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:48,360
Speaker 1: attacked and denounce the Pacifists for lack of patriotism and

564
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:50,720
Speaker 1: exposing the country to danger. Or it's the same way

565
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:53,760
Speaker 1: in any country. Yeah, boy, that's true. And throughout the time.

566
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 1: Have you watched that movie about that with Russell Crowe's

567
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:01,239
Speaker 1: no during that looks so good. I want to watch it.

568
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:05,680
Speaker 1: Oh wow, mailbg sounds good. Yeah. I wish I had

569
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:07,719
Speaker 1: more time to take in all the wonderful content that

570
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:11,200
Speaker 1: exists in the world. Ah, let's see mailbag, drop us

571
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 1: a note, mailbag a armstrong giddy dot com very quickly.

572
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 1: I want to clean this up. We got a couple

573
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:17,800
Speaker 1: of great emails about the Venezuela Maduro thing that I

574
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:21,560
Speaker 1: didn't get to. Jimmy Houston wrote, Does anyone find it

575
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 1: odd that it was easier to arrest the president of

576
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:26,200
Speaker 1: Venezuela than it was to find a single child in

577
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:29,560
Speaker 1: a Somali run daycare in Minnesota? Nah? Anyway, I owned too.

578
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 1: I thought that was good. We're there, We're all leering

579
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 1: about this. Eric L. Polpo Smith, in a story Oregon,

580
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:39,280
Speaker 1: wrote the fracas in Caracas. Get out your maraccas, but

581
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 1: keep your l pacus. Anyway, the note was pretty good too.

582
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 1: Oh let's see. Ah. Several people, including Stacey, said, respect

583
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 1: Mary in the Hoe, who worked hard to compile the

584
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:52,960
Speaker 1: end of the year lists of bad names and things.

585
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 1: Jack is never done. She got shafted in twenty twenty five.

586
00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:59,360
Speaker 1: This is worse than Jack not tipping the dumpster driving Maid.

587
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 1: You're right, I propose our four of the show today

588
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 1: got at the end of the year lists from Mary

589
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 1: and the Hoe got do I agree that with and

590
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 1: I am completely to blame. Let's see Robert writes a

591
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:14,719
Speaker 1: preventable death the entire state of Minnesota probably would only

592
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:16,880
Speaker 1: require four or five ice agents if we had not

593
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:22,239
Speaker 1: allowed millions of people into our country for no good reason. Yeah. Yeah, well,

594
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 1: you let something bad go long enough. The cleaning it

595
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:28,680
Speaker 1: up is going to be hard and unpleasant. You've heard

596
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:30,640
Speaker 1: that many times here. How the hell are you gonna

597
00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:35,200
Speaker 1: unwind that without a lot of really uncomfortable things see

598
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:39,239
Speaker 1: deficit spending. I actually got pulled last night and they

599
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 1: asked the biggest problem thank you facing the country and

600
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 1: gave me a list. I said, none of those things,

601
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:49,359
Speaker 1: deficit spending. Let's see ice ice baby, writes Antonio whin

602
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:51,880
Speaker 1: Are Minnesota leader's going to be charged with inciting a riot?

603
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 1: It's good question. Then finally, this from big Ern McCracken.

604
00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:00,480
Speaker 1: I believe that had to be a upha. That's non

605
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:03,280
Speaker 1: diplome of some sort. Hardly anyone's been in the position

606
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:05,399
Speaker 1: of being engaged to Taylor Swift. Come on, how about

607
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 1: every bass player from every emo band from the year

608
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:09,879
Speaker 1: twenty oh four through twenty eighteen. That's a good one.

609
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:11,640
Speaker 1: I don't think she was actually engaged. I don't think

610
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:13,720
Speaker 1: she was it. They were just boyfriends about the Jonas

611
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:18,880
Speaker 1: boy No, they were just boyfriends. I don't care. We

612
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:20,520
Speaker 1: got more on the way. If you missus segment, get

613
00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 1: the podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand Armstrong and Getty
