Unless you mean NFL playoff football 0:01:03.680 --> 0:01:06.839 or college That's exactly what I've met. That's conflicting chaos. 0:01:07.200 --> 0:01:10.000 It's a good point, andentrol chaos. But yeah, yeah, fair enough, 0:01:10.920 --> 0:01:15.600 brightly colored uniforms. Watch NFL Wildcar Weekend, which is some 0:01:15.680 --> 0:01:18.200 big NFL fans favorite weekends when you got a whole 0:01:18.240 --> 0:01:21.000 bunch of playoff games going at one time and anyone 0:01:21.000 --> 0:01:23.600 could win. With the Kansas City Chiefs not in it 0:01:23.680 --> 0:01:25.640 for the first time in like a decade, it's more 0:01:25.640 --> 0:01:28.039 of a wide open on both sides sort of situations. 0:01:28.120 --> 0:01:31.600 So there you go. Very exciting, great, great, great college 0:01:31.600 --> 0:01:34.600 football game last night if you watched it, to Miami 0:01:35.120 --> 0:01:39.200 came from behind and beat poor old miss. So we'll 0:01:39.200 --> 0:01:44.600 play either Indiana or Oregon, who played tonight, which will 0:01:44.640 --> 0:01:48.080 be exciting. There you go, that'll be a good ball game. Yeah, 0:01:48.080 --> 0:01:49.640 I'm going to catch some of that action. I said 0:01:49.640 --> 0:01:55.000 this yesterday too, and this isn't really about sports. If 0:01:55.040 --> 0:01:58.360 you're not a sports fan, the quarterback for Indiana is 0:01:58.400 --> 0:02:01.280 one of those special human beings is that you run 0:02:01.320 --> 0:02:03.360 into now and then and if you man, if you 0:02:03.360 --> 0:02:05.280 haven't caught his act as a sports fan or even 0:02:05.320 --> 0:02:08.480 a non sports fan, is just like a positive energy 0:02:08.560 --> 0:02:12.120 guy or leadership person or something. He's either going to 0:02:12.160 --> 0:02:15.080 be a giant NFL star or a motivational speaker or 0:02:15.160 --> 0:02:17.440 end up the CEO of Ford or something. But he 0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:21.320 is a white president, he is well yeah, exactly, Yeah, 0:02:21.320 --> 0:02:24.639 he is quite the dude. You remember when young men 0:02:24.720 --> 0:02:27.760 in America and little girls theoretically could grow up and 0:02:27.840 --> 0:02:31.040 dream of being president. That was like this, in this 0:02:31.080 --> 0:02:33.320 great country, you could grow up and be president. That 0:02:33.400 --> 0:02:36.360 was that was not a cliche truism in America. It 0:02:36.400 --> 0:02:39.480 was a bromide a saying that we all knew and 0:02:39.520 --> 0:02:42.360 now it's like, oh god, no, oh, why are you 0:02:42.400 --> 0:02:46.000 threatening me? Well, it's it's been that way for for 0:02:46.040 --> 0:02:48.360 some people for a long time. I just started that 0:02:49.560 --> 0:02:52.919 Assassination of Garfield mini series on Netflix. What's it called? 0:02:52.960 --> 0:02:56.639 About the Lightnings? I'm about the last Blood everywhere disgusting. Yeah, 0:02:56.680 --> 0:02:58.919 death by lightning, Death by lightning. And it's about the 0:02:58.919 --> 0:03:02.400 assassination of James Garfield, which nobody knows anything about, if 0:03:02.440 --> 0:03:04.040 he even knew. There wasn't a session ate. I mean, 0:03:04.080 --> 0:03:06.040 I barely knew it. And I'm a big giant fan 0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:09.720 of presidential stuff, and this mini series lays it's about 0:03:09.760 --> 0:03:13.000 the crazy guy who shot him and about Garfield himself, 0:03:13.000 --> 0:03:15.760 and at least the way it's Garfield's portrayed in this show. 0:03:16.000 --> 0:03:19.640 He had no interest in being president, right. He goes 0:03:19.680 --> 0:03:22.520 to the convention to cast his votes for this dude 0:03:22.560 --> 0:03:25.120 Sherman to try to get him to be the nominee, 0:03:25.280 --> 0:03:27.880 and somebody nominates him and then he ends up the 0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:30.760 nominee and then president. He had no interest in being president. 0:03:30.840 --> 0:03:33.880 His wife didn't want it, he didn't want it. It 0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:37.080 was one of those they were terribly divided and there 0:03:37.120 --> 0:03:39.760 were thirty seven ballots, and finally somebody said, look, everybody 0:03:39.840 --> 0:03:43.160 likes Garfield. He's a good and decent man. And every 0:03:43.200 --> 0:03:46.080 faction said, yeah, actually, Garfield's a pretty good guy. And 0:03:46.120 --> 0:03:48.920 he's like, what the hell are you doing? And you 0:03:48.960 --> 0:03:51.400 know what's really interesting. We didn't talk about this because 0:03:51.440 --> 0:03:54.720 the news flow has just been insane this week. The 0:03:56.000 --> 0:03:59.800 shooter at Brown University put out video confessions there in 0:03:59.840 --> 0:04:02.960 his storage locker where he killed himself, thankfully ending his 0:04:03.200 --> 0:04:08.760 miserable life. Unfortunately he ended it too late, but essentially 0:04:09.000 --> 0:04:11.840 he was one of those sad pathetic losers who blamed 0:04:11.880 --> 0:04:15.200 everyone else for his sad pathetic life and his failures. 0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:18.359 And the guy who shot Garfield, at least as portrayed 0:04:18.360 --> 0:04:21.120 by the miniseries very much the same. God. That's exactly 0:04:21.200 --> 0:04:23.080 what I was thinking last night. I couldn't quite get 0:04:23.120 --> 0:04:29.560 it together. Here's a very angry, sad loser who at 0:04:29.560 --> 0:04:35.920 some point latched onto a way for his suicide to happen. Yeah, essentially, yeah, 0:04:36.200 --> 0:04:38.720 uh huh. Which it turns out throughout history, the more 0:04:38.760 --> 0:04:40.080 you think about it, I think are the more you 0:04:40.120 --> 0:04:43.839 observe it. A lot of the major assassinations throughout history 0:04:45.200 --> 0:04:49.279 or terrorist attacks or whatever were perpetrated not so much 0:04:49.320 --> 0:04:52.760 by somebody with a strong ideology or like they're really 0:04:52.760 --> 0:04:56.760 going to accomplish something. They're just crazy people that needed 0:04:57.320 --> 0:05:02.280 the thing to unleash their vibe on or to make 0:05:02.360 --> 0:05:06.280 them the big big man they had always believed they were, 0:05:06.760 --> 0:05:10.159 and that the world wasn't recognizing. That was the Garfield case. 0:05:10.279 --> 0:05:12.360 A lot of people believe that was Lee Harvey Oswald. 0:05:12.520 --> 0:05:14.760 You know. The John Wilkes booth thing is the exception, 0:05:14.920 --> 0:05:19.560 not the rule. Definitely, the dedicated ideologue, definitely. Anyway, the 0:05:19.640 --> 0:05:22.200 other really really crazy interesting thing I've discovered in the 0:05:22.279 --> 0:05:24.159 last twenty four hours, and maybe we can get into 0:05:24.160 --> 0:05:25.920 this later. We'll have to decide to so much to 0:05:25.960 --> 0:05:32.960 talk about is conspiratualism. These people who, for various reasons, 0:05:33.920 --> 0:05:39.360 they latch onto conspiracy deep you know, deep conspiracy, rabbit 0:05:39.440 --> 0:05:43.160 hole Qanani stuff and exists on the left too, absolutely 0:05:45.160 --> 0:05:48.719 and get a near religious attachment to it or or 0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:53.039 virtually religious attachment to it. I've just been reading about that, 0:05:53.160 --> 0:05:58.560 and it's frequently an elaborate coping mechanism dealing with the 0:05:58.560 --> 0:06:01.560 trauma of their lives and that sort of thing. But 0:06:02.279 --> 0:06:04.320 oh my god, it snapped my head back. It was 0:06:04.360 --> 0:06:07.400 so interesting and revealing. Oh I really want to hear 0:06:07.440 --> 0:06:11.400 about that. We were probably better off as apes. The 0:06:11.480 --> 0:06:14.479 human brain got too big, too complicated, too prone to 0:06:14.640 --> 0:06:18.800 going off in wacky directions. So back to the trees. 0:06:18.880 --> 0:06:21.920 That's my rallying cry. Nobody tunes us in, especially on 0:06:21.960 --> 0:06:24.320 a Friday for presidential minutia. But just while it's in 0:06:24.360 --> 0:06:26.120 my mind that Garfield show, which, by the way, I 0:06:26.160 --> 0:06:28.599 think a lot of people would like. It's really well done. 0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:33.120 It's pretty good drama whatever. Yeah, agreed. Was Chester A Arthur, 0:06:33.200 --> 0:06:34.479 who again is just a name. 0:06:34.560 --> 0:06:34.800 I know. 0:06:34.880 --> 0:06:38.279 I knew nothing about Chester A Arthur. I knew he 0:06:38.360 --> 0:06:40.720 was a president, knew nothing about him until this show. 0:06:40.960 --> 0:06:45.479 Was he actually a violent thug like that? I don't 0:06:45.520 --> 0:06:48.320 know to what extent that's true. I remember learning that 0:06:48.400 --> 0:06:52.800 he was very much a party hack. He's not really 0:06:52.839 --> 0:06:56.120 well respected as a statesman or thinker. But boy, the 0:06:56.120 --> 0:06:59.159 presidents we always make jokes about on President's Day of 0:06:59.240 --> 0:07:02.039 being nothing's whatever, turn out at least in this show 0:07:02.080 --> 0:07:04.480 to be pretty fascinating. It looks like Chester A. Arthur 0:07:04.560 --> 0:07:06.880 was the kind of guy that would take people in 0:07:06.880 --> 0:07:08.719 a back alley and beat him down to get the 0:07:08.760 --> 0:07:10.760 money out of him or whatever. He was like. He 0:07:10.880 --> 0:07:14.320 was like a Paully Walnuts in the Sopranos, and he 0:07:14.440 --> 0:07:17.880 ends up vice president. Yeah, Makien, politics were pretty brutal 0:07:17.920 --> 0:07:20.320 back in the day, and then Garfield gets assassinated and 0:07:20.360 --> 0:07:25.320 then he's president. But yeah, wow, that's interesting. We're we've 0:07:25.360 --> 0:07:27.680 got some disgusting politics now, but there's a lot less 0:07:27.720 --> 0:07:30.240 taking people into alleys and beating the money out of them, 0:07:31.000 --> 0:07:34.840 right right, Yeah, let's start the show officially. There's so 0:07:34.920 --> 0:07:36.520 much to talk about today. I can't wait to talk 0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:40.000 about Aram. Very excited about what's going on there. Optimistic 0:07:41.640 --> 0:07:43.560 or at least we're getting to the crossroads where the 0:07:44.160 --> 0:07:47.760 Mullas are going to decide. All right, that's enough of that. Yeah, 0:07:47.840 --> 0:07:50.520 But like Venezuela, the question of what's next, the most 0:07:50.560 --> 0:07:53.040 likely answer is not terribly palatable. But more on that 0:07:53.080 --> 0:07:55.400 to come. I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe Getty on this 0:07:55.480 --> 0:07:58.880 it is Friday, January ninth, year, twenty twenty six. How 0:07:58.920 --> 0:08:01.360 did that happen? We are Armstrong and Getty and we 0:08:01.360 --> 0:08:03.880 approve of this program. Well let's begin. Then, here we 0:08:03.920 --> 0:08:06.440 go officially according to f CC rules. Reggs show starts 0:08:06.480 --> 0:08:06.920 at mark. 0:08:07.160 --> 0:08:09.880 A new episode of his podcast, Kansas City Chief star 0:08:10.000 --> 0:08:12.440 Travis Kelsey said that he won't make a decision about 0:08:12.480 --> 0:08:14.880 retirement for a month and added that he's quote just 0:08:14.920 --> 0:08:17.280 being a regular human for a couple of weeks. You know, 0:08:17.880 --> 0:08:22.440 a regular human who's engaged to Taylor Swift and contemplating 0:08:22.480 --> 0:08:24.280 retirement at thirty six. 0:08:25.400 --> 0:08:32.520 This regular dude stuff. Yeah, sitting on an enormous pile 0:08:32.559 --> 0:08:34.480 of money. But that's place. See, he can't, you know, 0:08:34.520 --> 0:08:37.360 Travis Kelsey is the perfect test case for do you 0:08:37.520 --> 0:08:40.880 resent people just because they're successful? I mean, what are 0:08:40.880 --> 0:08:42.640 you going to resent about the dude? I don't know, 0:08:42.679 --> 0:08:46.600 he's very likable, but what a what could anything turn 0:08:46.679 --> 0:08:50.079 your life more upside down even when you're already wealthy 0:08:50.120 --> 0:08:54.199 and famous, than getting engaged to Taylor Swift. I mean, 0:08:54.320 --> 0:08:58.439 holy crap, that would put you into a new well. 0:08:58.600 --> 0:09:00.680 Hardly any human being has ever been in the Taylor 0:09:00.760 --> 0:09:04.720 Swift zone, right right? Yeah? I mean, the heart wants 0:09:04.800 --> 0:09:07.400 what the heart wants, Jack, But I'd be tempted to 0:09:07.440 --> 0:09:12.079 go looking for another skinny block. This is just gonna 0:09:12.080 --> 0:09:15.480 be complicated, Okay, we got Katie's headlines on the way 0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:16.880 and you can join us anytime you want on the 0:09:16.880 --> 0:09:26.240 text line four one five kftc yo yo anniversary today 0:09:26.480 --> 0:09:28.920 of uh. It was on this day in two thousand 0:09:28.920 --> 0:09:32.080 and seven that Steve Jobs did a big presentation there 0:09:34.040 --> 0:09:37.680 the Bay Area and held up a little heavy, weird 0:09:37.720 --> 0:09:41.880 looking gadget called the iPhone, and man did that change everything? 0:09:42.840 --> 0:09:47.560 Mm thanks Steve in many ways for the worse. Yeah. 0:09:47.600 --> 0:09:50.360 Speaking of which, Oh my gosh, did Peter Mgosian write 0:09:50.400 --> 0:09:55.679 a great piece entitled eh ah here it is. Here's 0:09:55.720 --> 0:09:59.000 the title for you, the title, the reveal it there 0:09:59.000 --> 0:10:00.640 it is. Oh I'm sorry. It was just and hate 0:10:00.720 --> 0:10:05.120 is sometime partner the Devil's planned to ruin the next generation. 0:10:06.120 --> 0:10:08.360 If you were to say to Satan, how would you 0:10:08.679 --> 0:10:11.160 ruin the next generation of humans and steal their souls? 0:10:11.440 --> 0:10:13.840 How he would do it? It will chill you to 0:10:13.920 --> 0:10:16.839 the bone. First, let's figure out who's reporting what it's 0:10:16.840 --> 0:10:18.400 the lead story. Oh my gosh, we have plenty of 0:10:18.440 --> 0:10:19.480 time for Katie Green. 0:10:19.360 --> 0:10:22.320 Katie all right, So let's start with the main headline here, 0:10:22.440 --> 0:10:27.280 ABC News Minneapolis Ice shooting. Officer involved in shooting was 0:10:27.440 --> 0:10:33.800 injured in a June incident NBC Minnesota and Portland shootings 0:10:33.920 --> 0:10:37.920 fuel protests and then to kind of counter this New 0:10:38.040 --> 0:10:43.240 York Post Renee Good was Minneapolis quote Ice Watch warrior 0:10:43.640 --> 0:10:46.920 who trained to resist Feds prior to shooting. 0:10:48.200 --> 0:10:51.560 Yeah, and the ramming of ICE officers in their vehicles 0:10:51.600 --> 0:10:54.680 is going on nationwide. Ain't a joke. They're all aware 0:10:54.720 --> 0:10:58.280 of it. People are getting hurt badly. Stop it now 0:10:58.360 --> 0:11:01.120 or you might get shot in your head. Are they LARPing? 0:11:01.280 --> 0:11:03.440 Joe had a piece for us yesterday about these people 0:11:03.480 --> 0:11:07.000 who are kind of LARPing until they run into reality. 0:11:07.120 --> 0:11:09.800 It's really interesting. It's changed kind of the way I 0:11:09.840 --> 0:11:12.559 look at these people. Also, that got a lot of 0:11:12.600 --> 0:11:16.520 attention yesterday that the officer that shotter had been drugged 0:11:16.520 --> 0:11:20.880 by a car by a protester already earlier and he 0:11:21.000 --> 0:11:23.360 got what two hundred stitches. Yeah, he got hurt and 0:11:23.440 --> 0:11:25.800 had to be feared for his life when that happened before. 0:11:25.840 --> 0:11:28.920 So that would have an effect on your reaction. Yeah. 0:11:30.400 --> 0:11:35.160 From the Washington Post. Iranian protests and strikes escalate as 0:11:35.320 --> 0:11:38.240 leader vows state will not back down. 0:11:38.360 --> 0:11:42.520 I listened to a journalist out of Iran yesterday and 0:11:42.559 --> 0:11:46.240 they are really ramping up the protests. The opposition leader 0:11:46.320 --> 0:11:52.640 dude who is a crown prince of something that is 0:11:52.760 --> 0:11:55.960 calling for the protests every single night. People are coming 0:11:56.000 --> 0:11:58.640 out of what is it, one hundred and ten towns 0:11:58.679 --> 0:12:01.160 cities across Iran now that have protests in them. That 0:12:01.240 --> 0:12:05.839 way bigger than any protests have been previously. Right, right, 0:12:06.360 --> 0:12:09.600 it's an oh, go ahead, you add more. They shut down. 0:12:09.800 --> 0:12:13.440 But the bad guys, and they are bad guys. They 0:12:13.480 --> 0:12:15.720 pulled in their security forces and are bringing in the 0:12:15.760 --> 0:12:18.800 Iranian Revolutionary Guard to try to deal with the situation. 0:12:18.920 --> 0:12:22.199 That's just like in the last forty eight hours, right, Yeah, 0:12:22.240 --> 0:12:25.320 it's such an interesting phenomenon of uprisings like this that 0:12:25.400 --> 0:12:29.520 you have to alter, I'm sorry, offer an alternative. You 0:12:29.559 --> 0:12:31.880 can't just say down with the powers that be. There's 0:12:31.920 --> 0:12:34.560 got to be an alternative to rally around. And in 0:12:34.559 --> 0:12:36.800 this case, the best they can come up with is 0:12:36.880 --> 0:12:40.520 the son of the deposed Shaw, who'd almost certainly become 0:12:40.520 --> 0:12:44.439 a figurehead in something like a republic more of a democracy, 0:12:44.679 --> 0:12:47.920 kind of British style something like that. But you've got 0:12:47.920 --> 0:12:52.360 to have that that figurehead. You can't just say, hey, democracy, 0:12:52.400 --> 0:12:53.840 there's got to be a person. 0:12:55.200 --> 0:12:59.120 From The New York Times, Trump says more US attacks 0:12:59.200 --> 0:13:02.439 on Venezuela quote will not be needed. 0:13:03.400 --> 0:13:07.360 Nogay would I wouldn't think so. We grabbed a couple 0:13:07.400 --> 0:13:10.400 more Russian tankers. Russia's really mad. It is. Well, how 0:13:10.480 --> 0:13:13.200 much of this whole Venezuela thing is that? It's just 0:13:13.240 --> 0:13:16.800 like an end around on the whole Ukraine Russia deal. 0:13:17.600 --> 0:13:21.080 I'd say it's an add on advantage. 0:13:22.240 --> 0:13:26.439 From the Wall Street Journal, White House ballroom architect said 0:13:26.760 --> 0:13:30.120 a West Wing edition is under consideration, going to be 0:13:30.120 --> 0:13:30.800 some ballroom. 0:13:31.040 --> 0:13:33.480 Can't wait. I hope I get invited to many balls. 0:13:36.000 --> 0:13:42.800 From Fox News, Naked woman allegedly assaults deputy while intoxicated 0:13:43.240 --> 0:13:46.320 and claiming she was trying to be a mermaid. 0:13:47.920 --> 0:13:51.360 Well try harder, sweetheart number one. You're on try land 0:13:51.800 --> 0:13:54.840 number two. You still got legs the whole mermaid. I 0:13:54.840 --> 0:13:57.240 saw a dude yesterday on a moped, like a cool 0:13:57.320 --> 0:14:00.320 vintage moped. I mean, this is like the hipster of hips. 0:14:00.400 --> 0:14:02.760 He's on a cool vintage moped. He's got a tail, 0:14:05.240 --> 0:14:08.560 I'm sorry, tail or some sort of tale, the free thing, 0:14:08.880 --> 0:14:09.400 free tale. 0:14:09.600 --> 0:14:09.960 Lord. 0:14:10.559 --> 0:14:12.520 I know you gotta look at me, Look at me, 0:14:12.600 --> 0:14:14.640 I'm special. Look at me. You gotta tail. He had 0:14:14.720 --> 0:14:18.679 sideburns and some sort of wacky old timey hat. All right, 0:14:19.840 --> 0:14:24.640 so help you. This is bordering on old man shouting 0:14:24.640 --> 0:14:27.720 at clouds. But we need a great deal more of 0:14:27.760 --> 0:14:30.640 this in our society. Yeah, I get it. Look at me, 0:14:30.720 --> 0:14:33.600 look at me, look at me. Accomplish something then someone 0:14:33.800 --> 0:14:36.480 then people will look at you to all this just 0:14:36.560 --> 0:14:39.800 the virtue signaling, look at me, I'm trans, I'm you know, 0:14:40.000 --> 0:14:43.640 a gender or whatever. Oh look I have a tail. Whatever. 0:14:43.880 --> 0:14:48.080 If you're twelve, okay, great, I get it. But if 0:14:48.080 --> 0:14:51.000 you're a grown ass man or ought to be, there 0:14:51.040 --> 0:14:56.240 ought to be more judgment, harsh judgment of that sort 0:14:56.240 --> 0:15:00.240 of thing, because it's sad. Do something, accomplish some something, 0:15:00.480 --> 0:15:03.400 learn something, then people will pay attention to you, not 0:15:03.520 --> 0:15:08.280 just because you dress up as a damn fox, you weirdo. 0:15:08.880 --> 0:15:14.560 From page six, Madonna strips down to lingerie. 0:15:14.040 --> 0:15:16.920 And Jamby has for that ahead what else did she do? 0:15:17.240 --> 0:15:21.720 And jumps in bed with younger lovers in new raunchy ad. 0:15:22.080 --> 0:15:24.960 I haven't saying this for a long time. You get 0:15:25.080 --> 0:15:28.320 what to move past the I'm sexy and people want 0:15:28.360 --> 0:15:31.120 me thing? At some point you're in your sixties. Not 0:15:31.200 --> 0:15:33.120 that you can't be sexy in your sixties, but you 0:15:33.120 --> 0:15:36.360 can't be You can't be a sex symbol for the everyone, 0:15:36.600 --> 0:15:40.040 for the masses in your sixties. You know, how about 0:15:40.280 --> 0:15:46.840 the wise and respected elder Stateswoman's things? Any really literally anything? 0:15:46.920 --> 0:15:49.280 But look at me? Look at me spreading my knees. 0:15:49.360 --> 0:15:54.520 Nobody wants that. I know it's time for straight talk, Katie. 0:15:54.600 --> 0:15:56.280 Oh my god, no thanks. 0:15:57.040 --> 0:16:03.400 Study finds drunk from pizza auto brewery syndrome turns carbs 0:16:03.680 --> 0:16:04.520 into alcohol. 0:16:05.080 --> 0:16:09.880 How do you get that? Can you sign up for that? 0:16:10.160 --> 0:16:13.480 Oh my gosh, imagine that I wouldn't have to like 0:16:13.560 --> 0:16:15.920 drink beer with the beer, wine with the pizza. It 0:16:15.960 --> 0:16:17.880 was if the ones shop stop shopping. 0:16:18.120 --> 0:16:22.680 Yeah, And I have two Babylon Bees because I couldn't decide. 0:16:23.240 --> 0:16:28.040 So the first one is teenager confused how parents still 0:16:28.080 --> 0:16:29.000 don't know everything? 0:16:29.040 --> 0:16:34.040 But it only took him sixteen years. That's pretty good. 0:16:34.160 --> 0:16:34.800 And then the other. 0:16:34.680 --> 0:16:38.800 One is Greenland Panics, as Marco Rubio is seen donning 0:16:38.880 --> 0:16:42.480 heavy parka. 0:16:44.240 --> 0:16:47.120 I came across what may be my favorite Babylon Bee 0:16:47.160 --> 0:16:49.560 headline of the last six months or so. I don't 0:16:49.600 --> 0:16:51.760 want to paraphrase it because it's so good. But it 0:16:51.800 --> 0:16:56.480 has to do with the the Minnesota Social Services ripoff scandal. 0:16:56.840 --> 0:16:59.520 Joe is going to re explain to us the LARPing 0:16:59.640 --> 0:17:05.879 element of these protesters. Really, yeah, the poor stupid lady 0:17:05.880 --> 0:17:09.199 who got shot in the head. Just what what are 0:17:09.240 --> 0:17:12.640 those people doing? What do they think they're doing? Marping? 0:17:12.840 --> 0:17:16.080 Pretty well illustrated. Marping is the acronym for live action 0:17:16.200 --> 0:17:20.159 role playing. Yeah, essentially, well, yes, yes, and that's what 0:17:20.200 --> 0:17:22.440 they're doing. I never thought about it this way before. 0:17:22.440 --> 0:17:24.800 It's pretty interesting. It's what's going on all across the country. 0:17:25.160 --> 0:17:37.119 On the way Armstrong and Getty, Oh a beautiful Chester, 0:17:37.400 --> 0:17:40.639 Joe and I are about to launch into content completely 0:17:40.680 --> 0:17:43.679 forgetting the first Friday of the new year that this 0:17:43.760 --> 0:17:46.360 is where we do clips of the week, right right, 0:17:46.440 --> 0:17:49.880 and the very people who are supposed to be part 0:17:49.880 --> 0:17:52.480 of the team to present the show. Instead of pointing 0:17:52.480 --> 0:17:55.520 out that fact, I'm saying, hey, dude, you got clips 0:17:55.600 --> 0:17:57.920 of the week, so maybe move that other feature a 0:17:57.960 --> 0:18:02.360 little No, no, no, they just remain silent, giggling like idiots. 0:18:03.000 --> 0:18:06.040 Hope and we'll screw up some team. This is now. 0:18:06.400 --> 0:18:09.080 Miami wouldn't have won that game last night, so it 0:18:09.280 --> 0:18:11.200 couldn't be now. 0:18:11.200 --> 0:18:13.399 I will say, last time this happened, there was some 0:18:13.440 --> 0:18:16.400 coordination going on behind the scenes. We were all in cahoots. 0:18:17.040 --> 0:18:19.080 I had nothing to do with that. I am Michael. 0:18:19.359 --> 0:18:23.560 This is all Michael. Yeah. So it's like Aaron Rodgers 0:18:23.640 --> 0:18:26.119 offensive line knows he thinks it's going to be a pass, 0:18:26.160 --> 0:18:28.840 but it's a run. This is hilarious. Oh yeah, we're 0:18:28.880 --> 0:18:34.840 gonna get let him get wiped out by the defensive tackle. Yeah, Michael, Well, 0:18:34.560 --> 0:18:36.679 we'll wait, we'll we'll wait for a moment. 0:18:36.760 --> 0:18:36.879 Man. 0:18:37.000 --> 0:18:39.320 Someday it will come and revenge will be sweet. I 0:18:39.480 --> 0:18:43.560 completely forgot the Clips of the Week even existed. I didn't. 0:18:43.600 --> 0:18:45.520 I just hadn't thought of it for a while. All right, 0:18:45.560 --> 0:18:48.920 So let's we'll get to that stuff in a few minutes. 0:18:48.960 --> 0:18:51.920 It's fascinating and compelling and trust us. But first, let's 0:18:51.920 --> 0:18:54.119 take fun look back at the insane week that was. 0:18:54.160 --> 0:18:59.840 It's cow clips of the Week. What a great game? 0:19:00.119 --> 0:19:05.080 This is going give me our first day big problems here, 0:19:06.800 --> 0:19:16.879 what you get it. We will replace the frigidity of 0:19:17.000 --> 0:19:22.800 rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism. Families, especially white families, 0:19:22.840 --> 0:19:25.760 but some UOC families who are homeowners as well are 0:19:25.800 --> 0:19:28.960 going to have a different relationship to property than than 0:19:29.000 --> 0:19:31.879 than the one that we currently have. I want you 0:19:31.920 --> 0:19:35.800 to give me one example of socialism you think working 0:19:35.920 --> 0:19:40.920 well somewhere. I think of Cuba in particular. That's coming 0:19:40.920 --> 0:19:45.720 to day becoming. 0:19:47.520 --> 0:19:51.359 Nobody's gonna fight the United States militarily over the future 0:19:51.400 --> 0:19:51.960 of Greenlands. 0:19:52.000 --> 0:19:53.640 One last question, see it make any sense? 0:19:53.680 --> 0:19:57.160 One helony and protesters taking to the streets of their 0:19:57.200 --> 0:19:57.880 country again. 0:19:58.600 --> 0:20:01.359 Iron's government is now and he got payments, payments of 0:20:01.920 --> 0:20:04.359 seven dollars a month to help people afford food. 0:20:05.280 --> 0:20:10.320 The United States Armed Forces conducted an extraordinary military operation 0:20:10.680 --> 0:20:17.520 in the capital of Venezuela, Operation Absolute Resolve. This was 0:20:17.560 --> 0:20:23.160 an audacious operation. Nicholas Uduro had his chance. He left 0:20:23.200 --> 0:20:24.840 around and he found out. 0:20:25.920 --> 0:20:27.920 And he's a violent guy. 0:20:28.760 --> 0:20:30.800 He gets up there and he tries to imitate my 0:20:30.880 --> 0:20:31.760 dance a little bit. 0:20:33.400 --> 0:20:36.160 The American people did not sign up for this kind 0:20:36.160 --> 0:20:39.840 of adventurism. So we are going to run the country. 0:20:40.760 --> 0:20:42.560 So those of you who thought this whole project was 0:20:42.600 --> 0:20:46.040 globalhomo oh crazy. Actually we are. 0:20:46.000 --> 0:20:55.280 Under assault like no other time in our state's history. 0:20:55.320 --> 0:20:58.680 It was an active domestic terrorism, and she attempted to 0:20:58.760 --> 0:21:02.560 run an law enforcement officer over. I want to tell 0:21:02.560 --> 0:21:07.399 everybody directly that is both. So it looked like she 0:21:07.520 --> 0:21:10.760 was impeding ICE vehicles. Definitely, yeah, that was her goal. 0:21:11.680 --> 0:21:15.440 And I have a message for Ice to Ice get 0:21:15.440 --> 0:21:16.720 the fuck out of Minneapolis. 0:21:16.920 --> 0:21:21.280 It's clips of the week, first week of the year, 0:21:21.320 --> 0:21:26.639 first week back. Two giant stories, very very short follow 0:21:26.720 --> 0:21:30.919 up to that. First of all, if anybody is left 0:21:32.240 --> 0:21:37.439 thinking that I Joe Getty was like being hyperbolic or 0:21:37.480 --> 0:21:41.720 paranoid in describing the social justice crowd as neo Marxists 0:21:42.359 --> 0:21:46.320 when they say we need to confiscate private property. Now 0:21:46.359 --> 0:21:49.720 do you believe me? Anyway? Moving along, so on the 0:21:49.760 --> 0:21:53.480 Minnesota shooting. The Minneapolis shooting, it's interesting. I think a 0:21:53.600 --> 0:21:55.520 heck of a lot of people on the right are 0:21:55.520 --> 0:21:59.800 coming together and agreeing that this poor woman, Renee Nicole 0:21:59.880 --> 0:22:03.840 Good is an unfortunate dupe and it's very very sad 0:22:03.920 --> 0:22:06.440 that she got shot, which I think is a good 0:22:06.440 --> 0:22:08.439 and healthy way to look at it. There are a 0:22:08.440 --> 0:22:11.480 couple of ways I'd like to frame what happened, and 0:22:11.520 --> 0:22:14.280 I think if you understand these two things, you'll really, 0:22:14.320 --> 0:22:17.679 really really understand what happened Number one. I mentioned it 0:22:18.080 --> 0:22:22.720 yesterday that Marxists are trained to put you in predicaments. 0:22:22.760 --> 0:22:24.840 You can't win decision to them, as they call them, 0:22:25.119 --> 0:22:29.560 You taunt, you impede law enforcement until they take a 0:22:29.600 --> 0:22:32.600 swing at you, and then you post the video online 0:22:32.760 --> 0:22:34.879 and say, look at the fascist brutes were up against 0:22:34.880 --> 0:22:37.480 any attempt to rally people to the cause. It's actually 0:22:37.520 --> 0:22:40.240 it's in writing Read Rules for Radicals by Saul Lensky. 0:22:40.720 --> 0:22:43.760 It's a well known strategy. They do it all the time. 0:22:44.280 --> 0:22:46.400 In this case, it went way, way, way, wait, way 0:22:46.400 --> 0:22:52.040 too far. This woman believed, as one writer put it, 0:22:53.119 --> 0:22:59.560 she'd been radicalized by her fellow lefty political friends that 0:22:59.680 --> 0:23:03.440 ice are monsters that she must fight. She bought all 0:23:03.480 --> 0:23:06.440 the fascist coming into our communities to blah blah blah, 0:23:06.680 --> 0:23:10.760 and she imagined that she was a brave resistance fighter. 0:23:11.680 --> 0:23:14.439 Which brings us to an absolutely terrific piece that we 0:23:14.480 --> 0:23:16.360 shared late in the show yesterday, And if you've heard 0:23:16.359 --> 0:23:18.280 it before, I hope you enjoyed as much as we did. 0:23:18.480 --> 0:23:22.840 And it's very thought provoking. It's written by a gal 0:23:22.880 --> 0:23:26.400 who has an anonymous account on Twitter, but is quite 0:23:26.400 --> 0:23:29.560 smart anyway. I think a lot of radicalization happens in 0:23:29.600 --> 0:23:33.280 spaces where it's all talk. Everything is hypothetical. It's easy 0:23:33.359 --> 0:23:36.679 to LARP as a revolutionary. That's live action role playing 0:23:37.640 --> 0:23:40.359 as someone who stands against oppression. There's a lack of 0:23:40.440 --> 0:23:43.360 seriousness about it all. You start to believe the memes. 0:23:43.520 --> 0:23:46.200 You start to believe you're a hero, you're the main character. 0:23:46.520 --> 0:23:49.679 Then you convince yourself to do something really dumb, like 0:23:49.800 --> 0:23:52.680
