Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.
Speaker 2: Arm Strong and Getty and no Hee Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 3: Forty three pounds of fentanyl was seized at the northern
Speaker 3: border last year, a fraction of the twenty thousand pounds
Speaker 3: seized at the southern border.
Speaker 2: This is not a trade war. This is a drug war.
Speaker 3: The tariffs on Mexico and Canada are just paused in
Speaker 3: a month. If they are imposed, Democrats warn prices could
Speaker 3: go up.
Speaker 4: It's going to affect beer. Okay, it's going to affect
Speaker 4: your glock.
Speaker 3: The President's team argues that's not as important as stopping
Speaker 3: fentanyl components.
Speaker 5: Anybody who's talking about inflation right now is dishonoring, dishonoring
Speaker 5: the men and women and children who have died at
Speaker 5: the hands of China's Mexican Canadian fentanyl coming across our borders.
Speaker 6: Now, I heard that and I thought, I don't know
Speaker 6: if that's gonna work, coming out of an election that
Speaker 6: was all about Inflation's killing me.
Speaker 2: Inflation's killing me.
Speaker 6: People are complaining about Inflationmen are dishonoring people who died
Speaker 6: because how about you?
Speaker 7: How about Chuck Schumer shuts up? And I think that
Speaker 7: was Peter Navarro. I tone it down a little, Peter,
Speaker 7: I hate populism. Is so dumb.
Speaker 6: Chuck Schumer standing there, he actually had a beer in
Speaker 6: his hand.
Speaker 2: This is gonna affect your beer.
Speaker 6: And then he held up on avocado and your guacamole,
Speaker 6: your guawk.
Speaker 2: Yes, oh god, how dumb down do we have to get? Where?
Speaker 7: You have?
Speaker 2: Very basic?
Speaker 6: I have an avocado in my hand to make it perfectly,
Speaker 6: go ah, is this how dumb the conversation is gonna get?
Speaker 2: Apparently?
Speaker 7: Am I a third grader in this scenario? No, you
Speaker 7: can say this, official aids.
Speaker 6: So yesterday we were talking about being tariff Tuesday today
Speaker 6: for Mexico, Canada, and China. Well, as you probably know,
Speaker 6: an agreement was made with Mexico and Canada. So both
Speaker 6: of those got postponed for a month and some concessions,
Speaker 6: and you either think they're enough or they don't.
Speaker 2: But not China.
Speaker 6: And as Joe keeps pointing out very clearly, China is
Speaker 6: a completely different category. It's not apples and oranges, it's
Speaker 6: apples and semiconductors. But so that ten percent tariff is
Speaker 6: still on for China as of midnight. Last night is
Speaker 6: going to happen, and China strikes back overnight at Trump
Speaker 6: tariffs with levees on US imports. The Washington Post headline
Speaker 6: being the world's two largest economies did not cut a
Speaker 6: deal to avert sweeping US tariffs, which came into effect
Speaker 6: after midnight. Beijing immediately retaliated, including fifteen percent tariffs on
Speaker 6: US coal and liquefied gas and a slew of new
Speaker 6: export restrictions and anti trust investigation into Google. According to
Speaker 6: the Chinese government, we'll see how this all plays out.
Speaker 6: Ten percent levees on crude agricultural machinery, some vehicles. This
Speaker 6: is all part of an ongoing negotiation. Who knows where
Speaker 6: we're going to become February tenth, or a year from
Speaker 6: now for that matter.
Speaker 7: Well in China employs all sorts of nefarious tactics to
Speaker 7: screw with our companies too, to get leverage. I mean,
Speaker 7: they announced a probe into Google and also labeled PVHS,
Speaker 7: the parent company of Tommy Hillfigure and Calvin Klein, to
Speaker 7: a list of unreliable entities that they have their eye on.
Speaker 6: I believe I'm wearing some of those unreliable underwear right now.
Speaker 6: Keeping in mind, I don't think this can be said enough.
Speaker 6: A lot of this sort of talk about Trump's China tariffs,
Speaker 6: that kind of talk was being heard first term, and
Speaker 6: then Biden came into office and kept the tariffs.
Speaker 7: Sure, yeah, the relationship of China. Maybe it would help
Speaker 7: to come up with a human metaphor that people could understand.
Speaker 2: But I was trying to come up with it. I mean,
Speaker 2: Canada is like.
Speaker 7: Our good buddy in our next door neighbor and we
Speaker 7: had a little argument over who ought to pay for
Speaker 7: the fence because the tree fell on it, and we
Speaker 7: can settle that and we're still friends. But China, we
Speaker 7: were in business with them, then they defrauded us and
Speaker 7: broke the contract and we've been in court now for
Speaker 7: three years and we've still got to execute some of
Speaker 7: the contract.
Speaker 2: But we are mortal enemies.
Speaker 7: I mean, that is the situation with yam And and
Speaker 7: it's it's going to be or you know, maybe an
Speaker 7: unhappy marriage or whatever, you know, human example you want
Speaker 7: to use, the disillusion of it is going to be
Speaker 7: very difficult. We cannot extricate ourselves from decades of thinking
Speaker 7: China was going to be our buddy without pain. Yeah,
Speaker 7: I was watching the.
Speaker 6: Couple weeks in a row, sixty minutes has had stories
Speaker 6: on this, the decoupling. There will be a time in
Speaker 6: a few years where it's going to seem crazy that
Speaker 6: the iPhone was ever made in China.
Speaker 2: It's going to see how did that happen?
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, yeah, Well it was naivete on our part
Speaker 7: and and and some brutal cleverness on theirs. We got played.
Speaker 7: We got played badly. I thought this was super interesting.
Speaker 7: The Journal had a story written about manufacturing towns that
Speaker 7: were hit by the China Shock. That's when we really
Speaker 7: threw our trade open with China, the idea being well
Speaker 7: so backward.
Speaker 2: Yes, there, their labor costs.
Speaker 7: Are lower, and they'll probably you know, lower the price
Speaker 7: of goods in America and everybody will win.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 7: As a couple of scientists, economists from M I, T In,
Speaker 7: a couple of other big schools it doesn't matter, are
Speaker 7: studying this and writing about it now. Their new research
Speaker 7: offers an unprecedented look at how the China Shock rippled
Speaker 7: through the US, hitting manufacturing communities in the Southeast and
Speaker 7: parts and the Midwest particularly hard. And it shows a
Speaker 7: remarkable chair in the years leading up to the pandemic.
Speaker 7: Many of the places that were hit came back, but
Speaker 7: the people who got hit did not, which we'll get
Speaker 7: into in a second or two. But and you probably
Speaker 7: remember this depending on where you live in the world,
Speaker 7: but the shock to the system for from extra cheap
Speaker 7: Chinese imports because their wages are so crazy low, was
Speaker 7: way bigger than anybody anticipated, probably could have, but we didn't.
Speaker 7: It didn't work out the way that we thought. We
Speaker 7: thought it'd be more like Japan's rise. China was huge,
Speaker 7: its labor costs were extremely low, and its surgeon imports
Speaker 7: took place over a couple of years rather than decades.
Speaker 7: US manufacturing towns just could not compete. And they go
Speaker 7: into how hard these towns were hurt. High unemployment, lower wages,
Speaker 7: food stamps, disability.
Speaker 2: That's got to be brutal. It's funny.
Speaker 6: I was thinking about this yesterday when I was going
Speaker 6: through all the Star about Elon trying to cut the government,
Speaker 6: Trump trying to cut the government, and the left going crazy.
Speaker 6: Just the idea that any government were work or whatever
Speaker 6: lose their jobs seems like a horror to them. And
Speaker 6: I was thinking about I read this book one time
Speaker 6: about Bethel, Pennsylvania in the seventies when the whole thing
Speaker 6: hit with the steel mills in that these towns that
Speaker 6: everybody worked for the steel mill and or various places
Speaker 6: with coal, same thing. I mean, that's just the only that,
Speaker 6: that's the whole thing. That was just the whole everybody.
Speaker 6: You and your uncle and your wife and your kids
Speaker 6: were gonna work there and everybody. And when that goes away,
Speaker 6: how devastating that is.
Speaker 2: And it's brutal.
Speaker 6: It's absolutely brutal. It happens all the time with different industries.
Speaker 6: Never happens with government. And if you even like a
Speaker 6: sliver of.
Speaker 7: That, people scream an owl like it's awful, right right,
Speaker 7: Like it's immoral to even discuss. So it's I think
Speaker 7: it's worth running down this list with a little more
Speaker 7: deliberate pace. So these communities experienced higher on HIM deployment, UH,
Speaker 7: lower wages, higher use of food stamps, higher disability payments,
Speaker 7: higher rates of single parenthood and child poverty, and elevated mortality.
Speaker 2: You know, someday I'd love to talk to.
Speaker 7: Somebody really learn it about the phenomenon whereby if men
Speaker 7: cannot be breadwinners, they tend not to couple or couple permanently,
Speaker 7: and women who still desperately want children because it is
Speaker 7: part of their DNA will go ahead and have them anyway.
Speaker 2: Anyway, you have children because there's nothing else to do.
Speaker 6: Oh boy, So you live somewhere where there's nothing else
Speaker 6: going on, that's why you have children.
Speaker 2: If you live someplace cool, you do other cool stuff.
Speaker 7: I actually, from yesterday's Hot Links, there's a list of
Speaker 7: fifty life hacks or something like that from some source,
Speaker 7: and one of them was don't have children because that'll
Speaker 7: save on your expenses and give you more free time.
Speaker 2: That's true. That is true.
Speaker 7: You're making the assumption that that's my goal, right. I
Speaker 7: just it was so befuddling. I didn't even know what's
Speaker 7: to say.
Speaker 2: Anyway, that's funny, Yeah, it is funny. Yeah.
Speaker 7: Don't have a job that'll free up your time as well.
Speaker 7: So the economist found, Michael, do we have a commercial here?
Speaker 2: I'm sorry? Did you tell us that simply safe visitor? No?
Speaker 7: Nothing, okay, great, maybe later the good folks, it's simply safe,
Speaker 7: always with a helpful word to keep your home safe. Anyway,
Speaker 7: stay tuned for that commercial anyway. Don't know kids, it'll
Speaker 7: give you more free time and be cheaper. What what
Speaker 7: I thought about that?
Speaker 2: Let me get out of pencil paper three times. You're right,
Speaker 2: it would be cheaper. Don't have kids. I guess I
Speaker 2: won't have kids.
Speaker 7: Look, I'm no al een stain over here do anything,
Speaker 7: but I swear I wish because because I know I
Speaker 7: can feel you good people are feeling that same weird,
Speaker 7: oh my god pain that I was when I came
Speaker 7: across that. You know how they label video games, you
Speaker 7: know e or or whatever. The ratings are M for mature.
Speaker 7: They got to do that for like news articles, and
Speaker 7: they got to have an as for stupid.
Speaker 2: This is for stupid people.
Speaker 7: And like I say, I'm no Alienstein, but I don't
Speaker 7: need to read somebody saying, you know, you could not
Speaker 7: have children because that would give you more free time.
Speaker 2: I mean that again.
Speaker 7: It hits me like a punch hearing something that's stupid
Speaker 7: and lacking an insight.
Speaker 8: Ugh.
Speaker 7: So the economists getting back to this found that starting
Speaker 7: in the twenty tens, most of the affected economies came
Speaker 7: roaring back, including the counties surrounding, for instance, Hickory, North Carolina,
Speaker 7: which we know very well having lived in Charlotte for
Speaker 7: a number of years, and Dalton, Georgia. But the recoveries
Speaker 7: did not come about as the result of a manufacturing revival. Instead,
Speaker 7: they were driven by expansions in healthcare for instance, education, retail,
Speaker 7: and restaurants, and the manufacturing employees hung on to their
Speaker 7: jobs as many as they could for as long as
Speaker 7: they could, but their jobs got worse and their pay
Speaker 7: got lower. Largely US born, white and black men without
Speaker 7: any college education, and they.
Speaker 2: Did not participate in the recoveries.
Speaker 7: The new data showed that while some of these workers
Speaker 7: lost their jobs and struggled to ever find work again,
Speaker 7: the bulk of them remained unemployed until retirement. But as
Speaker 7: they aged out, they weren't replaced and their earning earning stagnated.
Speaker 2: What does that mean, You stayed unemployed until retirement. Uh no,
Speaker 2: they stayed employed.
Speaker 6: Oh.
Speaker 7: If I said unemployed, I apologize. But they hung on
Speaker 7: at lower wages with no opportunity for advancement, and just
Speaker 7: kind of saw their lives dead end a bit. And
Speaker 7: different people came in, primarily more heavily women immigrants from
Speaker 7: asia other people filling service jobs were US born Hispanics,
Speaker 7: many of them college educated women, and the working class
Speaker 7: non college white and black men, even of the next generation,
Speaker 7: just tended to be on disability or not worth they
Speaker 7: didn't move. That was one of the interesting aspects of
Speaker 7: this big paper was that there is a class of Americans.
Speaker 7: And this was one of the most amazing parts of JD.
Speaker 7: Vans's brilliant hillbilly elogy to me was that there is
Speaker 7: a certain class of Americans who consider it like wrong
Speaker 7: or unfair or out of the question that they would
Speaker 7: move and go to where their sort of job exists.
Speaker 2: They just won't do it. Yeah, I get that, but
Speaker 2: sometimes there's no choice.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I guess I don't get it exactly, having moved
Speaker 7: a bunch for jobs.
Speaker 2: But well, I look hard. It's really hard.
Speaker 6: I look at people around me, though, who have got aunts, uncles, grandma's,
Speaker 6: grandpa's helping with the childcare and picking up kids from
Speaker 6: school and dropping them off here and getting together on
Speaker 6: Sundays after church. It looks freaking awesome. And I don't
Speaker 6: have that because I moved around a lot.
Speaker 7: But yeah, I mean, clearly the argument, but he would
Speaker 7: argue with it is that if you can end up
Speaker 7: on disability as a opioid addict unemployable right now, you're
Speaker 7: better off moving but easy as.
Speaker 2: Hard as well.
Speaker 6: One of your Grammy winners gave a speech about something
Speaker 6: that got a bunch of attention the other night about
Speaker 6: how difficult it is without healthcare out there or something
Speaker 6: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, they did.
Speaker 7: That's yes, and we will play that sort of right.
Speaker 7: That's wow, great, I can't it sounds compelling. Plus, the
Speaker 7: transgender actor is Sir from the transgender Mob Boss movie
Speaker 7: has been disowned canceled by the left.
Speaker 2: Oh wow, I want to hear that. I love that.
Speaker 2: Lots on the way stare.
Speaker 8: President Trump's making Congress every single day. Our numbers already
Speaker 8: remember she wasn't too long. But we're dial with ten
Speaker 8: eleven thousand entries to day yesterday, five hundred and twenty
Speaker 8: four and not one of them, not a single one
Speaker 8: was released. They're either returned or detained seeking prosecution.
Speaker 7: Hallelujah. Wow, love it. Policy matters, elections matter. I don't
Speaker 7: want to get you saw the four years under Kamala.
Speaker 6: Funny you just said that, I don't want to get
Speaker 6: off track, But I was just thinking as watching the
Speaker 6: news was all on one TV. It was about border
Speaker 6: and everything that's going on. When it was about tariffs,
Speaker 6: none of that'd be happening if Kamala Harris would What
Speaker 6: would be in the news if Kamala Harris had been
Speaker 6: elected were a month and now three weeks in whatever
Speaker 6: it is, what would be going on? I don't even know.
Speaker 6: Probably status quo, which would be borders out of control.
Speaker 6: Nobody's obviously trying to cut the government or arrest illegals,
Speaker 6: so I don't I suppose we'd just be talking about
Speaker 6: the Grammys or something, because nothing they were going to
Speaker 6: keep on keeping on.
Speaker 7: Every unit in the military had to have at least
Speaker 7: three transgender people under a new executive order.
Speaker 2: I don't know, you have to be transgender to get
Speaker 2: the general Star. Wow.
Speaker 6: Wow, that's what would happened in Gobbelo Harris's world.
Speaker 7: Or can prove you've dated a transgender person? Uh So,
Speaker 7: I thought this was so interesting. I really like looking
Speaker 7: at other cultures and political systems just because it's interesting
Speaker 7: to me and also to see how they're dealing with
Speaker 7: various problems. And Germany has been really really interesting lately,
Speaker 7: specifically as the far right party. I mean, you dared
Speaker 7: not admit in polite company that you were a member
Speaker 7: of that party, the AfD, they were the only party
Speaker 7: willing to speak frankly about immigration in Germany.
Speaker 2: Everybody else was too polite.
Speaker 7: Well, I don't want to come off as a racist,
Speaker 7: and it's a it's good for the economy, and there's
Speaker 7: no human being that's illegal, and the rest of it
Speaker 7: is very, very similar, like social pressure on anybody saying,
Speaker 7: for instance, my town looks like it's a town in
Speaker 7: Egypt now, and only the AfD would say it. And
Speaker 7: they've attracted a hell of a lot of support. And
Speaker 7: now the right wing is becoming more of the center
Speaker 7: right now. Whether they're going to have to shed some
Speaker 7: of the real right wingy beliefs, you know, we'll have
Speaker 7: to see.
Speaker 2: But here is a.
Speaker 7: Heavily tattooed fifty eight year old working class guy who says,
Speaker 7: there are places here. It's not Germany anymore, it's not
Speaker 7: even Europe, it's the Middle East or Africa. I haven't
Speaker 7: read the AfD's economic program and I don't care. I'll
Speaker 7: still vote for them because of immigration, and they are
Speaker 7: growing like crazy for the same reasons Americans are saying
Speaker 7: the things they're saying about their towns and their cities.
Speaker 7: And the German people were shutting up for the same
Speaker 7: reason a lot of Americans were, because they were shamed
Speaker 7: into it by the elite who were making money hand
Speaker 7: over fist through globalization.
Speaker 6: By the way, we have some breaking news we ought
Speaker 6: to jam in. The committee voted on RFK Junior. The
Speaker 6: vote is in just now, fourteen thirteen.
Speaker 2: Yes.
Speaker 6: Move on to the full Senate vote fourteen thirteen. That's
Speaker 6: pretty close a squeaker by a vote RFK Junior. The
Speaker 6: full Senate will vote on whether or not he's gonna run.
Speaker 7: Things are strong and getty.
Speaker 9: I told myself, if I ever won a Grammy and
Speaker 9: I got to stand up here in front of the
Speaker 9: most powerful people in music, I would demand that labels
Speaker 9: and the industry profiting millions of dollars off of artists,
Speaker 9: would offer a livable wage in healthcare, especially to developing artists.
Speaker 7: Okay, who is that is the charming and talented Chapel
Speaker 7: roan at the Grammy's explaining how if one is going
Speaker 7: to become a professional musician, somebody, I guess the record
Speaker 7: labels ought to offer you a living wage and healthcare
Speaker 7: as you attempt to make hit records or not, which
Speaker 7: is an interesting way to look at the industry or
Speaker 7: the world, or the society or how okay, So an
Speaker 7: aspiring artist, So.
Speaker 6: I'm going to decide today, I think I want to
Speaker 6: be a country singer.
Speaker 2: I am now.
Speaker 6: I am now an aspiring artist. Are you going to
Speaker 6: offer me healthcare and a living wage so I can
Speaker 6: continue to work on my mediocre songwriting if.
Speaker 7: They quote unquote hire you. Yeah, I just I don't know.
Speaker 7: She's a She's a silly young woman who has no
Speaker 7: idea how the world works. You're right, You're right about that.
Speaker 7: And I had a lot of dumb ideas when I
Speaker 7: was her. How old is she?
Speaker 2: She's twenty something.
Speaker 6: I had a lot of dumb ideas when I was young, too.
Speaker 6: But I'm reading through this Reddit thread that a friend
Speaker 6: of the Armstrong and go Getty show hit me to
Speaker 6: fed News, and it's all these federal workers. It's a
Speaker 6: very similar sort of thing. All these Fed workers just
Speaker 6: beside themselves at Trump and mostly focusing on Elon Musk,
Speaker 6: are trying to take away their livelihoods and fire people
Speaker 6: and how they need to stand up and fight back,
Speaker 6: and they want us to go back into the office,
Speaker 6: and there's no way I'm going to do that.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna I like working remotely. Yeah, well so did a.
Speaker 6: Lot of the people around here until they were told
Speaker 6: two days ago they got to come in more often.
Speaker 2: And you don't have a choice.
Speaker 6: How if you're whether a musician or a federal worker,
Speaker 6: how do you not understand the way the real world works?
Speaker 2: Do not have such a divorce from reality.
Speaker 6: Do you not have any friends that got fired out
Speaker 6: of nowhere or their industry just disappeared overnight because it's
Speaker 6: no longer needed, and now you got to learn an
Speaker 6: entirely new skill, do something completely different.
Speaker 2: You don't know anybody like that.
Speaker 7: Here's more from Chapel Roan, who's definitely coming at life
Speaker 7: from the same perspective as.
Speaker 2: Nancy Flosi, who has no beliefs.
Speaker 7: I mean, I believe I'll invest in that company that's
Speaker 7: about to get a giant subsidy.
Speaker 2: That's the only belief she has.
Speaker 7: But you remember that hilarious speech about Obamacare where this
Speaker 7: way someone can become a musician or a poet and
Speaker 7: not have to.
Speaker 2: Worry about healthcare. I was like, Oh, what did it?
Speaker 8: Were?
Speaker 7: So a chapel's cut from that same cloth nex clip
Speaker 7: Michael fourteen.
Speaker 9: Because I got signed so young. I got signed as
Speaker 9: a miner, and when I got dropped, I had zero
Speaker 9: job experienced under my belt, and like most people, I
Speaker 9: had a difficult time finding a job in the pandemic
Speaker 9: and could not afford health insurance. It was so devastating
Speaker 9: to feel so committed to my art and feel so
Speaker 9: betrayed by the system and so dehumanized to have to
Speaker 9: not have health. And if my label would have prioritized
Speaker 9: artist's health, I could have been provided care by a
Speaker 9: company I was giving everything to.
Speaker 2: Wow, she's like a child, She's like a child. Going
Speaker 2: to beat up on her. She sounds like a child.
Speaker 6: I am going to beat up on her. I'll go
Speaker 6: ahead and beat up on well. So I was listening
Speaker 6: to Bernie the other day. He was on uh well Well,
Speaker 6: and he was questioning RFK Junior. So he was on
Speaker 6: the Sunday talk shows and Bernie's big hang up with
Speaker 6: RFK Juniors.
Speaker 1: He would not answer the question is healthcare of right?
Speaker 1: He wouldn't ask as a central question every developed country
Speaker 1: in the world again. The office health care, the whole
Speaker 1: healthcare is the right thing is a non starter for me.
Speaker 1: I don't see how that possibly works as a system
Speaker 1: where healthcare is a right.
Speaker 7: Might be a good exchange for tax dollars. I mean,
Speaker 7: you could make that argument.
Speaker 2: I suppose. I don't understand how that system works.
Speaker 6: So so this girl just thinks everybody should get healthcare
Speaker 6: if somebody should be providing it. Somebody else should be
Speaker 6: providing my healthcare because I want to be a singer
Speaker 6: or or do this or not or not work at
Speaker 6: all or whatever. Everybody should get a healthcare no matter
Speaker 6: your lifestyle. You get to make whatever life choices you want,
Speaker 6: and somebody else is going to pay for your health care.
Speaker 2: How is that ever going to work? Yeah, well it's
Speaker 2: going to be in the US very eighty five people.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be insanely expensive.
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, and and healthcare will be ration seriously, it
Speaker 7: would be like being in Canada. You'll be diagnosed with
Speaker 7: cancer and they'll tell you come back for chemo in
Speaker 7: eighteen months, and you'll say, but won't the cancer grow
Speaker 7: and they'll say shut up and get in line. So anyway,
Speaker 7: so also from naive whackadoodle artists who live in the
Speaker 7: clouds news. This is kind of the opposite. And I
Speaker 7: don't I'm sorry, I don't have the name in front
Speaker 7: of me of this transgender chap woman who starred in
Speaker 7: the Amelia Perez movie as the transgender cartel boss that
Speaker 7: we've been talking about.
Speaker 2: And a couple of things.
Speaker 7: First of all, I said that it was a different
Speaker 7: actor who played the cartel boss and the newly minted
Speaker 7: quote unquote woman version of him. People are telling me, no, no,
Speaker 7: it's the same actor, actress, actor or triss. And that
Speaker 7: explains why the cartel boss looked so weird all the time,
Speaker 7: because it was a dude who threw many painful surgeries,
Speaker 7: was changed into a human being who looked more like
Speaker 7: a woman. Then they had to use makeup and such
Speaker 7: to turn this person back into somebody who presented it
Speaker 7: as a man. So that explains why he looked so weird.
Speaker 6: Well, first of all, you can use actor for most
Speaker 6: because it's considered sexist to use the term actress, so
Speaker 6: you're safe on that ground.
Speaker 2: They're both. They're all actors.
Speaker 7: Now for the Oscar nominations, they haven't figured out a
Speaker 7: way to have their cake and eat it too, get that.
Speaker 6: Right, And yet they had to hire an actual trans
Speaker 6: person to play a trans role because that's the new
Speaker 6: thing in Hollywood, right, you can't have a straight person
Speaker 6: play a gay role or any of those kind of things.
Speaker 7: Why don't you just start making documentaries then? I mean,
Speaker 7: if you wait a minute, all right, you got an
Speaker 7: irishman playing the Irishman. But this guy's forty and the
Speaker 7: characters of forty six list though gets to agism, all right,
Speaker 7: a forty six year old irishman. Yeah, but the actual
Speaker 7: guy was left handed, all right, a forty six year
Speaker 7: old left handed irishman.
Speaker 2: I don't know, But your guy isn't this and that
Speaker 2: and the other.
Speaker 7: Again, you just got to make a documentary with the
Speaker 7: actual people soon anyway. So this transgender person, who is
Speaker 7: the first ever transgender person nominated for Best Actress because
Speaker 7: now they present as a woman, apparently they have been
Speaker 7: canceled now by the left. This is two delicious forewords.
Speaker 7: This is online commentator Rob Smith and clip eighteen Michael,
Speaker 7: and I.
Speaker 10: Quote here's honestly, I think very few people ever cared
Speaker 10: about George Floyd are.
Speaker 7: Michael, stop it, stop it. I didn't realize we were
Speaker 7: gonna edit it that close. A miscommunication my fault. So
Speaker 7: a number of past communications, tweets, et cetera have surface
Speaker 7: that this person made back in the day. And if
Speaker 7: anybody has any sins online, if you're of the right
Speaker 7: but not only left, you will be canceled hard. Well,
Speaker 7: here's the list of what this transgender actor person said.
Speaker 10: And I quote honestly, I think very few people ever
Speaker 10: cared about George Floyd, a drug addict swimdler. Okay, this
Speaker 10: is what Carlo Sophia Gascone are great trans woman who's
Speaker 10: blazing the trail for transactresses as our first Academy Award
Speaker 10: nominee for Best Actress that is trans. This is what
Speaker 10: this person had to say about Muslims. Is it just
Speaker 10: my impression or every are there more Muslims in Spain?
Speaker 10: Every time I pick up my daughter from school, there
Speaker 10: are more women with their hair covered and their skirts
Speaker 10: down to their heels. Next year, instead of English will
Speaker 10: have to teach Arabic. Yes, our great trans woman trail blazer, Sofia,
Speaker 10: Carlo Sophia Gascone, our best actress trans not many, is
Speaker 10: now getting totally canceled by the left for that and Morris.
Speaker 10: She also called Miley Syrus a lesbian, which I think
Speaker 10: is actually personally hysterical. But I love the fact that
Speaker 10: this person was supposed to be some great trail blazer
Speaker 10: and thought that she was gonna this person was gonna
Speaker 10: ride the EI all the way to an Academy Award
Speaker 10: for Best Actress and then is being totally canceled by
Speaker 10: the left. You live by the rules of the left,
Speaker 10: you die by the rules of the left. The hypocrisy
Speaker 10: is hysterical.
Speaker 7: Nobody actually really cared about Georgia Floyd.
Speaker 2: He was a drug addicted grifter. What it's funny, Carl
Speaker 2: and I could hang out.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, that's you don't want to say, Hey, I'm sorry.
Speaker 7: You got the whole gender confusion going on. That must
Speaker 7: be very painful.
Speaker 6: But on your bond, I found your movie confusing, But
Speaker 6: we could talk about this other stuff.
Speaker 2: Spain's turning into the Middle East. Huh.
Speaker 7: You can hardly take your daughter to school without the
Speaker 7: whole culture changing around you.
Speaker 2: Man, I can sympathize with that.
Speaker 7: Yeah, we could bond, and I did say, sh e
Speaker 7: it's very very good in the movie. The movie itself
Speaker 7: was utterly ridiculous. Good act, Oh, very good.
Speaker 6: Yeah, So is this person actually canceled? I mean like,
Speaker 6: is this becoming an actual problem. We'll see, Like they'll
Speaker 6: get booed if they win or don't know, We'll see.
Speaker 6: Because you know, they have this weird ranking system for
Speaker 6: this sort of stuff. What ranks above what else?
Speaker 2: Oh? Yeah, intersectionality.
Speaker 7: Yeah, there's professors who would teach it at school to
Speaker 7: kids who end up not learning a damn thing worth
Speaker 7: knowing for their one hundred and fifty thousand dollars.

Speaker 6: about Charlie Sheen's brother. I don't want to watch that movie.
Speaker 6: It's completely Michael. He can play that damn sex change
Speaker 6: song anytime you want it. I should have want to
Speaker 6: Grammy as far as I'm concerned.
Speaker 8: Mama, bless no blessed, Yes, no blessing.
Speaker 6: It looks like RFK Junior is going to go to
Speaker 6: the full Senate vote. Do they do that today or
Speaker 6: does that get put off?
Speaker 7: I don't know a Democrat who is vowing to hold
Speaker 7: up all of Trump's nominees over some nonsense or other.
Speaker 2: Some sort of Senate technicality. I don't understand.
Speaker 6: We will look into that. We'll answer that question. Also, Uh,
Speaker 6: this op ed. I just came across beating up on
Speaker 6: Elon for being some sort of unelected dictator and we
Speaker 6: should all be scared.
Speaker 2: Probably ought to get to that a little bit later,
Speaker 2: among other things.
Speaker 11: On the way, stay here are strong, but the Democratic
Speaker 11: minority Senate leader release.
Speaker 2: The Shumers going they be here?
Speaker 4: Okay, most of it Corona here comes from Mexico Democrats.
Speaker 2: Can you please stop ding Schumer out there every time?
Speaker 2: He's not good at this?
Speaker 11: What is the decision making process here?
Speaker 2: Hey?
Speaker 11: Who should we get out there to effectively battle one
Speaker 11: of the most savvy presidential media manipulators in history.
Speaker 2: I don't know how about Schumer.
Speaker 11: He's uninteresting, but at least he's monotone. Oh wait, Chuck,
Speaker 11: before you go out there, you look too young.
Speaker 2: Put on these readers and lower them on your nose. Perfect.
Speaker 7: So I've been following some of the drama, the DNC
Speaker 7: hearings for who's going to be their chair too. The
Speaker 7: Democrats could not be misplaying their hand more severely. And
Speaker 7: I just keep thinking, there's no way the rights screws
Speaker 7: this up, which and you know what that means, there's
Speaker 7: no way we lose the next four elections.
Speaker 6: So an interesting thing happened yesterday the United States. Trump
Speaker 6: announced this. The United States is going to withdraw from
Speaker 6: the UN Human Rights Council and stop un founding.
Speaker 2: That's the UN whatever r WA stands for.
Speaker 6: In that they were that group that had a whole
Speaker 6: bunch of Hamas members in it and Israel remember how
Speaker 6: that whole thing went down, And it's unbelievable. The UN
Speaker 6: is really quite amazing. The Human Rights Council. It's made
Speaker 6: up of different countries on a year by year basis.
Speaker 6: They kind of rotate them through, but it's often full
Speaker 6: of just some of the worst countries in the world,
Speaker 6: including China.
Speaker 2: China is on the Human Rights Council. China has a
Speaker 2: million slaves for instance. I mean they committed to a genocides.
Speaker 6: Yes, yeah, I mean the endless list of things China
Speaker 6: does wrong and they're part of the Human Rights Council.
Speaker 2: It's absolutely ridiculous.
Speaker 6: So Trump announced yesterday, or I guess Rubio announced that
Speaker 6: we're pulling out of that, and at least Stephonic put
Speaker 6: out the announcement. Today's executive order is the correct action
Speaker 6: by President Trump to deliver. She's the UN ambassador to
Speaker 6: deliver America first piece through strength and moral leadership. The
Speaker 6: UN Human Rights Council is a den of human rights
Speaker 6: abusers and disgraceful and obsessive anti semitism. Unraw unwah must
Speaker 6: be defunded and dismantled in the United States.
Speaker 2: Will do that.
Speaker 6: Since Stephen Hayes with The Dispatch, who couldn't hate Trump more,
Speaker 6: tweeted out good overdue. So I like saying to the
Speaker 6: who you want a stuffund Yeah, you got to be
Speaker 6: a lot better than you are now. And the Human
Speaker 6: Rights Council, we ain't gonna be part of that. We're
Speaker 6: We're not gonna get voted down or up or whatever
Speaker 6: by China. Let China be the arbitra of what's right
Speaker 6: and wrong.
Speaker 4: It's crazy.
Speaker 7: I ran in North Korea have been on the Human
Speaker 7: Rights Council, unless I'm incorrect, Syria, lots of horrible countries.
Speaker 2: Right, yeah.
Speaker 7: It reminds me of the disbanding of the USAID, which
Speaker 7: we'll get into next hour. I really, I've been aware
Speaker 7: of them for you know, many many, many years, but
Speaker 7: I didn't understand exactly how they operate and how perverse
Speaker 7: it's become. And bring it down, absolutely, bring it down.
Speaker 7: This is all such good stuff. And you know, the
Speaker 7: chuck schumers that the world are acting like it's an
Speaker 7: outrage that will you know, slap mother's milk out of
Speaker 7: the mouths of hungry babes in Africa. But it's just
Speaker 7: it's not that way at all. In fact, you know,
Speaker 7: and this is this is an interesting phenomenon of government
Speaker 7: and this stuff. It's it's way too complicated and subtle
Speaker 7: to ever get a hearing from the average voter. But
Speaker 7: if you, if you have decided it's important to get say,
Speaker 7: you know, the formula to the mouths of starving babes
Speaker 7: in Africa.
Speaker 2: Okay, that sounds noble, all right, I'll go along with you.
Speaker 7: Let's do that as a country, because it wins us
Speaker 7: friends and influences people.
Speaker 2: If you have an.
Speaker 7: Utterly corrupt, perversely motivated, you know, organization that now does
Speaker 7: that because over the years they become just cuckoo birds.
Speaker 7: Wouldn't you be on my side of reforming them? Well,
Speaker 7: it's just it's that people aren't aware, I guess. I
Speaker 7: mean it's like if the fire department is a bunch
Speaker 7: of cokeheads who just play poker. They've sold all the equipment,
Speaker 7: They don't put out fires. They just come to your
Speaker 7: home and steal your laptops and then leave all the
Speaker 7: place burns. And I say we need reform, and you say, oh,
Speaker 7: I'll fight the fires.
Speaker 2: You're you're not paying attention.
Speaker 6: So here's the latest TikTok craze, and TikTok stole a
Speaker 6: thing I guess for now till further notice. Diy botox.
Speaker 6: If you can't afford the actual botox face tape. There's
Speaker 6: a special kind of tape you use to smooth wrinkles,
Speaker 6: and it shows the places you put it on your head, across.
Speaker 7: Your forehead and not literally jabbing yourself with botox.
Speaker 6: Okay, no, it's uh you uh, it's a poor man's botox.
Speaker 6: You put this face tape on and it's just regular
Speaker 6: tape like you get the hardware store and then you
Speaker 6: put like an X across your face, covering your nose
Speaker 6: and down underneath your eyes, where people.
Speaker 2: Tend to totally or absolutely work.
Speaker 6: That will totally work. So if you see somebody with
Speaker 6: that tape on their face, that's what they're doing. They're
Speaker 6: doing the TikTok diy botox. Better than having your lips
Speaker 6: all fat. Saw somebody in the crowd at the Grammys
Speaker 6: with the giant fat lips.
Speaker 7: Oh ladies, ladies, you're great the way God made you.
Speaker 6: There was somebody that worked here not too long ago,
Speaker 6: remember Michael, very nice, very attractive person, I mean, like
Speaker 6: top tier beautiful, but like once a month would get
Speaker 6: the lips redone and they were giant. And I don't
Speaker 6: know if you're supposed to say something, hey, I mean
Speaker 6: because you came back to work on a Monday looking
Speaker 6: completely different than he did on Friday, Katy, are you
Speaker 6: supposed to say something nice lips? Would they appreciate that
Speaker 6: or you not? Don't say that, Okay, you just don't
Speaker 6: say anything. Yes, don't say that. Don't go up to
Speaker 6: a woman and say nice lips.
Speaker 7: I see your undergoing anaphylactic shock. Is there anything I
Speaker 7: can do for you? Do you have an EpiPen?
Speaker 2: Shall I jab you with an EpiPen? Look like you're dying.
Speaker 6: I feel like if I came in to work with
Speaker 6: my ears five times the normal size, just all of
Speaker 6: a sudden, tomorrow somebody would say something, would they?
Speaker 2: I don't know.
