00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George

Speaker 2: Jettie and he arms Happy Gallantines Day. I just learned

4
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 2: about this Happy Gallantines Day right into that live from

5
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:44,280
Speaker 2: Studio C Hey dimly lit room within the bowels of

6
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 2: the Armstrong and Getting Communications Compound. Hey, y'all, today we're

7
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:52,159
Speaker 2: under the tutelage of our general Manager, Donald J. Trump,

8
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 2: shaker upper in chief. So Gallantine's Day comes from the

9
00:00:57,560 --> 00:00:59,959
Speaker 2: television show Parts and Recreation. I guess it's a fan

10
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,959
Speaker 2: that is caught on over the last many years, and

11
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 2: a lot of women get together for mimosas for brunch

12
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 2: or drinks after work or whatever the day before Valentine's Day.

13
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 2: You're nodding your head, Katie, you're aware of this or not?

14
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 3: Yeah.

15
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 4: I've been invited to a few of these, and they

16
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 4: give gifts and play games.

17
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 2: Oh I didn't know there were gifts. Oh yeah, gifts

18
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 2: and games. A bunch of celibate, non dating, bitter women

19
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:31,040
Speaker 2: who are giving up on life getting together. I don't

20
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 2: think that's it at all.

21
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 4: All of the girls that invited me to a Gallentine's Day,

22
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 4: are married?

23
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think that's it at all. Yeah, I

24
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 2: think you're a whole bitter don't have it airing lesbians?

25
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 2: Probably every woman who ever turned me down surely a lesbian.

26
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 2: If if Gallentine's Day somehow like becomes a thing and

27
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 2: women realize this is more fun without the dudes, we

28
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 2: decide what we want to do and do it the

29
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 2: way we want and where we want and what the

30
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 2: people we want, and you're not here and everything like that,

31
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 2: and it overtakes Valentine's Day, that would be awesome.

32
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 4: Culturally speaking, I think, yeah, Galentine's Valentine's Day is about

33
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:08,079
Speaker 4: as big as friends giving.

34
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 2: I mean it's caught on Okay, Yeah, it's definitely a thing.

35
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 5: Yeah.

36
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 2: And then uh, Golfanine's Day with the fellas well, y'all

37
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 2: are doing that would be just fine. It'll all getting

38
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 2: together for games and gifts. Sounds like hell to me.

39
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 2: But if you know, go ahead and knock yourself the

40
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 2: hell out have a good time. Yeah, you're here, that's awesome.

41
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 2: How did I miss out on this? I guess you

42
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:31,639
Speaker 2: were doing it on the sly.

43
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 4: Yep, we don't want anything to do with you guys

44
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 4: during Valentine's.

45
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 2: Day again, fair enough, it might be. I'll be on

46
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 2: the back of nine. If I'm needed, I'll be over here.

47
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 2: Text me if you need something. That's that's something we're

48
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 2: breaking news to it good.

49
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 6: I don't have to dip my body in red paint

50
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 6: anymore on Valentine's Day.

51
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 2: So far, I think Valentine's Day is still a thing.

52
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:55,920
Speaker 2: So I know you dip your body in red paint

53
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 2: and you had that allergic reaction a couple of years ago. Yeah,

54
00:02:58,000 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 2: we are. It was a whole thing. It was pretty bad.

55
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 2: It was paint. It toldally not paint. Go with die

56
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 2: food guy, red dye number one. It's good for you. ASCARFK.

57
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 2: Junior is about to be the head of HHS. Were

58
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 2: you up breaking news today? So Hamas has announced just

59
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 2: in the last couple hours that they are going to

60
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,639
Speaker 2: release three more hostages at noon on Saturday. And it's

61
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 2: being reported that that's satisfying the ceasefire agreement, which I

62
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 2: think it strictly does. But I believe Trump said all

63
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 2: of the hostages need to come back by noon on Saturday.

64
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,079
Speaker 2: Didn't he No more of this? Two here? Three? There

65
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 2: two there, or is he backed off that. I haven't

66
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 2: heard that he officially has. I wouldn't be surprised if

67
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 2: he's backed off of it, just because that's not the

68
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 2: agreement that the Israelis came to, right, that's like a

69
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 2: brand new I've got a better idea, which is fine. Yeah, again,

70
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 2: is the shaker upper in chief both domestically and foreign

71
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 2: relations wise. And the latest version I've heard of him

72
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 2: with the noon deadline for Saturday, he said Israel can

73
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 2: overrule that. Of course, it's just my opinion. So maybe

74
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 2: that's the backing off it. If Israel decides to just

75
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 2: stay locked in with the ceasefire agreement, which I think

76
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 2: he kind of have to, I don't think he can

77
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 2: go beyond. Although if they're jerking you around, you know,

78
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 2: starting to cancel. Of course, that whole treating the hostages

79
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 2: the way they treat him up into the you know,

80
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,799
Speaker 2: the moment they get in the Israeli van, that's reason

81
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 2: enough to break the deal as far as I'm concerned. Also,

82
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 2: though Israel's main goal is we're gonna We're gonna ignore.

83
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 2: You're poking me in the chest, you're spitting on me,

84
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 2: you're calling my mom an m ephor you're doing all

85
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 2: these things. I'm gonna ignore that until we get it

86
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:36,919
Speaker 2: back as many hostages as we can. Then I'm gonna

87
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 2: kill your ass, every single one of you. Yes, putting

88
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 2: aside the fact that my mom being an mfor is

89
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:47,359
Speaker 2: confusing at best, I agree. And Donald Trump is playing

90
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 2: the role with a bad cop, which is kind of

91
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 2: interesting given the fact that bibit net and Yaho's plenty

92
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 2: of badass himself. But yeah, it's the madman theory. He said, no,

93
00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 2: we want all of them back by Saturday. Beebe's holding

94
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 2: him back. I'm trying to hold him back. I'm trying well.

95
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 2: As has been written by many people right center and left,

96
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:11,720
Speaker 2: it was completely the opposite under Biden. Oh, Biden was

97
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 2: holding onto Bebe's shoulders, holding him back. Hey, jim As,

98
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 2: I'm holding him back. He's not gonna go too far.

99
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 2: I got him here, which was inexplicable and awful and

100
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 2: morally wrong and all kinds of horrible things. But yeah, so,

101
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 2: I just even heard David Ignatius of The Washington Post,

102
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 2: no Trump fan, say it was Trump's threat that got

103
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 2: Hamas back. In the structure of the ceasefire, deal, right, right,

104
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,359
Speaker 2: I have some really really interesting analysis of a couple

105
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 2: of Trump's nuttiest statements thus far and the effect they've had,

106
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 2: which is it's either four to five dimensional chess or

107
00:05:56,279 --> 00:06:00,919
Speaker 2: it's a happy accident. But it's really interesting. Go the

108
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,279
Speaker 2: disruptor in chief. There is something to be said and

109
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 2: just in life in general, for just plowing forward every

110
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:12,479
Speaker 2: day in every direction of your life and just just

111
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 2: keep going, just keep going forward. Sometimes it works, sometimes

112
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 2: it doesn't. That didn't work. To try this, it'll either

113
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,160
Speaker 2: work or you'll learn something from it. As they say,

114
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 2: you try to avoid disastrous mistakes. But but yes, yes,

115
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,480
Speaker 2: let's start the show officially already. I'm Jack Armstrong, He's

117
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:32,840
Speaker 2: believe I've just learned about this. That's a state. It's

118
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 2: a big thanks saying combined words that are cute, see

Speaker 2: twenty five or Armstrong and getting we approve of this program.

122
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:52,240

00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 2: Husband and their Oh you know what i'd like for

Speaker 2: Lord, all right, let's begin officially now according to see

127
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,760

128
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 2: and it comes at mark.

129
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 6: Elon, go take your musty million, and Mustar Mosca writes

130
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 6: to the moon. That's because if you don't, we're.

131
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:21,520

Speaker 6: We're gonna speak up, We're gonna mart We're gonna do

133
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 6: anything we need to do to make sure that the

00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 6: people of this country understand that the stay up maybe.

135
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 2: Just for them. You get your mustard hands. Oh blah

Speaker 2: are getting weird. Okay, you musty boom moo moo. Right.

138
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 2: How how has he become such a lightning rod? Because

139
00:07:54,600 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 2: he's threatening their impossible to get rid of jobs. That's

140
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 2: the whole thing, isn't it, right? And the money that

141
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 2: flows to the politicians. Yeah, and also because they've realized

142
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 2: that yelling that Trump's a dictator, Trump's a dictator, and

143
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 2: it's just not working. They need a new devil to

144
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 2: terrify people. With hl Menkin's endless series of hobgoblins meant

145
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 2: to frighten the population, and there running one way or another.

146
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 2: Elon's the newest hobgoblin or musty moo moo moo if

147
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:32,199
Speaker 2: you prefer. While I find it amusing. Like I told

148
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 2: my kids at dinner last night about how he changed

149
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 2: his Twitter handle to Harry Balls for a day is

150
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,199
Speaker 2: to make people say it. I don't think it helps

151
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:46,559
Speaker 2: him any but he's he's so childish in that way.

152
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 2: So I got the new Tesla update on the computer

153
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,079
Speaker 2: showed up. You just get in your car and things

154
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 2: are different, and so they interrupt. They updated this and

155
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:01,959
Speaker 2: it says ass and big letters on my screen ass

156
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:05,719
Speaker 2: actually smart summon. So he improved the summon feature where

157
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 2: I can press a button on her any day, like

158
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 2: the day the car will back out and come pick

159
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 2: me up in front of the building and I can

160
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 2: get in without having a walk in the rain. But

161
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 2: the actually smart summon ASS. So it's his ass and

162
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 2: pick letters, I mean, because because that's what he likes.

163
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,079
Speaker 2: I just I think, and you have to accept it.

164
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 2: It's it's like I've you know, accepted my flaws along

165
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 2: with my strength and that of my sweet wife and

166
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 2: the rest of it. It just you get the package.

167
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 2: There's no can I get this without onions with human beings.

168
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 2: That's a that's a good one. That should be your quote.

169
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 2: That might be your best quote. Oh no, no, I've tried,

170
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 2: so is it a great one? All right? Thank you?

171
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,680
Speaker 2: There's no can I get this without onions with human beings?

172
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 2: You like all the stuff with them? The other stuff

173
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 2: comes with it, right, Which is not an excuse to

174
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 2: be an extra hot, spicy onion all the time. You

175
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 2: ought to try to, you know, just soften your onion

176
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 2: inness to make the relationship work. But ros is there

177
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:06,200
Speaker 2: any of the things that you really hair a stray

178
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 2: hair in the burger? You don't want that? That by

179
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:14,559
Speaker 2: personality you can get certainly, that's right. But there you go. Finally,

180
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 2: Michael I came up with a quote worth memorizing, being

181
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 2: remembered by the generations the ages to come. But we

182
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:23,839
Speaker 2: got more clips of this, and we've had him for

183
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 2: several days. The elon as a lightning rod and like

184
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 2: the biggest threat in America to a certain segment of

185
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 2: society is just so interesting. He wants to make government

186
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 2: smaller and less efficient. How is that so horrible efficient

187
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:41,319
Speaker 2: yea more efficient, yeah, smaller and more vision less efficient

188
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 2: to be easy. You just wait his speech yesterday about

189
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 2: yesterday about bureaucracy, and he actually he gave a speech

190
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 2: overnight to some video conference in Dubai. I don't understand

191
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 2: how he lives his life, but talking about it's it's

192
00:10:56,679 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 2: the government by the bureaucracy, up the bureaucracy. Just I

193
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 2: wish everybody understood the way bureaucracies work, the way they grow,

194
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 2: the way they become, you know, the iron law bureaucracy.

195
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:10,199
Speaker 2: They become about serving the bureaucracy more than accomplishing their goals.

196
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 2: It's just it's all real. It's like a science. We

197
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 2: need to bring back a couple of the clips from

198
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 2: the other day where he was describing that. I you know,

199
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,839
Speaker 2: perhaps some of the folks didn't hear them, and I

200
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:24,680
Speaker 2: would love to hear them again. Trump with some strong

201
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 2: statements about the Department of Education and how bad it

202
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 2: is and how he wants to get rid of it.

203
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,719
Speaker 2: We'll get into that coming up. We got mailed bag

204
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 2: a little bit later, case headlines and other news of

205
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 2: the day. I hope you can just stick around.

206
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 5: Armstrong Andyetty that Jesus I know would be dressed in

207
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 5: full drag and serving face, or handsome as a trans man,

208
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,440
Speaker 5: or wrapped in the garb of a non binary person

209
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 5: who knows one gender is way too small to capture

210
00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 5: their gloriousness.

211
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 2: It's a tease ahead to the podcast we're going to

212
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:06,560
Speaker 2: do after the show. Every day after the show we

213
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 2: do the One More Thing podcast will play the entire audio, well,

214
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 2: not the entire audio, because it'd be like an hour long,

215
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 2: but many minutes of a city council meeting they had

216
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 2: in Wooster, mass last night to be as they voted

217
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 2: to become a trans sanctuary city. Whatever the hell that means.

218
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 2: Good Lord, that was a crazy person. Oh that's why

219
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 2: I wanted to put it in the podcast so we

220
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 2: can play the whole thing. It is an endless parade

221
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 2: of mentally ill people as far as I can tell,

222
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:39,439
Speaker 2: and the city then decided to do what they want. Yeah,

223
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 2: it is truly a cult, the whole something else but

224
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 2: radical trans theory cult. If you don't usually grab the

225
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 2: One More Thing podcast, you listen to this or whatever,

226
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 2: you should. We do good stuff every single day. We

227
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 2: kind of have some breaking news Katie Katie the news lady.

228
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 4: We do this morning in Munich, Germany, a driver deliberately

229
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 4: drove into a crowd of people Injuring twenty eight and

230
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 4: it's confirmed that he is a kabulborn Afghan asylum seeker,

231
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 4: already known for drug crimes and theft.

232
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 2: Twenty four years old. Yeah, so I assume people are

233
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 2: thinking it might be one of those isis like attacks

234
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 2: we had in New Orleans. They're calling it a deliberate attack. Yeah,

235
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 2: very much like that, and of even greater significance. The

236
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 2: flow in Europe and especially Germany these days was one

237
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 2: hundred percent toward cracking down on immigration and to the

238
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:38,440
Speaker 2: bizarre multicultural experiment that Angela Merkel was running in the

239
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 2: rise of the AfD, the far Ish right party that

240
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 2: everybody's acting like is anathema. We can't have them in power.

241
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 2: Has this reap which is so Heinrich. I was listening

242
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 2: to some sober news analysis I remember it was, but

243
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 2: it was like somebody who's like, you know, tries to

244
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 2: be honest, who fought Marilla Penn's group would win in

245
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 2: France next election because this topic thought, Wow, okay, well

246
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 2: you do rep what you saw You're absolutely right. So

247
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 2: there's two topics there. Really, it's the whole unfettered immigration

248
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 2: of people who want you to go away, which is

249
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 2: an odd policy to have in any country. And two,

250
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 2: the how's the modern world gonna do with these car attacks?

251
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 2: How are you gonna You can't protect every crowded area

252
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 2: that exists. I mean, I could name off the top

253
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 2: of my head twenty that have no protection whatsoever. Yet.

254
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 2: I don't want to give anybody any ideas, but I

255
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 2: mean it'd be very difficult to do. Even more significantly

256
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 2: than that. I think the whole radical Islam versus the

257
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 2: West thing it took a nap. It's not over. It's

258
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 2: far from over. Well, And to that point, I didn't

259
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 2: get into the story. I saw the headline Israel is

260
00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 2: considering significant strikes on Iranian nuclear sites this year. US

261
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 2: intelligence agencies warned that's a breaking news in the Wall

262
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 2: Street Journal. Why somebody leaked that? Why the US intelligence

263
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 2: agencies know what Israel's going to do and then we

264
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 2: leaked it in the United States? Is that an attempt

265
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 2: to get them to not do it? Is that to

266
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 2: warn a Ran? I'm not exactly sure that stuff can

267
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 2: get very complicated, But that's the story overnight. Two main possibilities.

268
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 2: It was, you know, the permanent bureaucracy in intelligence or

269
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 2: the State Department that leaked it to constrain Israel, like

270
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 2: you said, in a very Biden administration like act, or

271
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 2: deliberate leak from the Trump administration saying yeah, Israel is

272
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 2: just going to whack the hell out of you boys. Yeah,

273
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 2: so get to negotiating or something. Come correct. Exactly how

274
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 2: much time we got, Michael? About six months? How much

275
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 2: time we got? You know the way you eat? Yeah, acts,

276
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 2: I got a minute thirty. You look like you're harried.

277
00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 2: Are you harried? What's the problem. Oh, we're just on

278
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 2: something here. Okay, first personal life or a radio show?

279
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 2: Oh my god, let them we're goodness on the air.

280
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 2: You made a flavorable I thought it might be a

281
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 2: personal life thing. You don't know, day before Valentine's Day

282
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 2: and say we don't have dinner reservations and he's on

283
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 2: the phone with his wife and you know, you know,

284
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 2: you never that can happen. Turns out that's not the case. Though,

285
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 2: I'm wearing horrible socks today and this is not making

286
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 2: my job easier. Somehow, I let the laundry get behind

287
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 2: and I went throw all my decent socks and that's

288
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 2: down to my Why do I even have them in

289
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 2: the drawer at the back of the drawer, incredibly uncomfortable?

290
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 2: What was I thinking when I bought them? What decade

291
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 2: did they come from? Socks? And I'm wearing them today

292
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 2: and they're just it's it's gonna affect my mood the

293
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 2: entire day. I think a lot of us do it.

294
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 2: We stick them in the back of the drawer as

295
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 2: if they're going to heal themselves or get better or something. Yeah,

296
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 2: or why would why would you get down to your

297
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 2: emergency socks before you do well, won't you just do

298
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 2: laundry before you get to your last beer? I don't know.

299
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 2: It's a a I've failed at living, is what I've done.

300
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 2: We've got mail bag on the way. How is that looking?

301
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 2: It's outstanding, full of revelations and insights, great freedom loving

302
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 2: quote of the day in just an insanely busy news day,

303
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 2: socks are like they're designed to be annoying, Like the

304
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 2: whole point was to make you unhappy all day long.

305
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:14,960
Speaker 2: If you miss a segment of the show, get the

306
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 2: podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand Armstrong and Getty. You know,

307
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 2: I don't want to talk about what Trump did every day,

308
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:29,679
Speaker 2: but he does so much stuff. Surely it'll taper off

309
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:34,240
Speaker 2: at something potentially huge significance. How do you not, I mean,

310
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 2: you made him our general manager today, disruptor in chief.

311
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 2: There's so much stuff around Taiwan and Russia and Israel,

312
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 2: not to mention the remaking of the federal government in

313
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,880
Speaker 2: a bunch of different ways. So yeah, you gotta talk about

314
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:51,119
Speaker 2: all that. The biggest rumor in the world, according to

315
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:55,040
Speaker 2: Mark Calprin, that involves Greenland and China and Taiwan and

316
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:57,119
Speaker 2: all kinds of stuff. I'll share that with you this

317
00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 2: half hour because it's it's damned interesting. Oh there's a

318
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,679
Speaker 2: lot to wrap your arms around there. Freedom, I mean

319
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 2: quoted the day, continuing on with old Abe Lincoln. His

320
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:09,959
Speaker 2: birthday was yesterday. It used to be a holiday. I mean,

321
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 2: that's your trans day of visibility or whatever. Anyway, we

322
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 2: used to have holidays that meant something. We're just pandering

323
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 2: to special interest groups anyway. Lincoln known for his great

324
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:26,200
Speaker 2: political speeches, but also it struck me and looking through

325
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:29,439
Speaker 2: this list, some very ben Franklin like advice for living,

326
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 2: I mean a lot. Be sure you put your feet

327
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 2: in the right place, then stand firm, said Lincoln. That's

328
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,359
Speaker 2: pretty good. No man has a good enough memory to

329
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:46,359
Speaker 2: be a successful liar. That's another good one. Let's see,

330
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 2: h where's the other one that I really like? That

331
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:52,679
Speaker 2: first one is a better written version of Is this

332
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:56,880
Speaker 2: the Hill you Want to Die on? Yeah? Yeah. Character

333
00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 2: is like a tree, and reputation like a shadow. The

334
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 2: shadow is what we think of it. The tree is

335
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 2: the real thing. And then finally, and this one will

336
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 2: either chill you to the bone, spur you to action,

337
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 2: or both. The philosophy of the schoolroom in one generation

338
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 2: will be the philosophy of government in the next. That's

339
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 2: a Lincoln quote. Allegedly there's a guy who didn't go

340
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 2: to school. That's pretty interesting. Yeah, I'll have to research that.

341
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:31,440
Speaker 2: I'm it doesn't aware recently the number of quotes it's

342
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:34,920
Speaker 2: a little bit too good. Yes, yes, I would agree.

343
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:38,120
Speaker 2: The number of quotes that are misattributed on the internet

344
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 2: is roughly seventy eight percent. You can quote me on that.

345
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,399
Speaker 2: We're going or say Ben Franklin said, just in general,

346
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 2: we're going further down the road of the Internet being

347
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:49,119
Speaker 2: practically worthless in terms of looking anything up. Yeah, and

348
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 2: some of them, some of the things I've come across

349
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:55,360
Speaker 2: are kind of inexplicable too. A P. J. O'Rourke quote

350
00:19:56,000 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 2: attributed to Christopher Hitchens. Why why pt Work's a fine

351
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:06,920
Speaker 2: guy to quote, very smart and a charming man. Quote

352
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:09,120
Speaker 2: him instead of Hitchins. The idea is just as good.

353
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:15,400
Speaker 2: Mailbag Woo. I can't believe they named those big luxury

354
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:21,440
Speaker 2: cars after me, Abraham Lincoln, totally authentic. You can drop

355
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:25,200
Speaker 2: us the note mail bag at Armstrong and Geddy dot com.

356
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 2: Where to send the Palestinians while rebuilding Gaza, writes Bill,

357
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 2: pull it DeSantis habit, ship them to Iran. They'd fit

358
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:36,959
Speaker 2: right in. Furthermore, Iran's already funding and supporting them anyway,

359
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 2: so this would probably be more Doge, cost effective and

360
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 2: efficient for everyone. He says. Keep up the great work,

361
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:45,240
Speaker 2: guys and crew. I say, keep up the great emails,

362
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 2: Bill from Kansas. That's clever, Speaking of which, called Trump

363
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 2: the shaker upper in Chief. What his absolutely nutty Gaza

364
00:20:54,680 --> 00:21:01,360
Speaker 2: Lago plan has shaken loose coming up? Stay with us Arizona,

365
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 2: Matt if they digitize the Oh, this is check describing

366
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:08,200
Speaker 2: to us what Elon Musk was describing. I guess, yeah,

367
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 2: that's right. We played the Elon Musk audio describing how

368
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 2: there was a limit to the number of federal employees

369
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:15,919
Speaker 2: that could retire at any given time. It's one thousand

370
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:19,360
Speaker 2: a month because the way they file the retirement papers

371
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:23,160
Speaker 2: is to take actual papers, put them in actual Manila envelopes,

372
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 2: carry them down a long elevator, down a mine shaft

373
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,159
Speaker 2: into a mine and where is it, Arizona or Nevada

374
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 2: or something like that, put them in a cardboard box

375
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 2: for some reason, right, it like it's nineteen fifty three.

376
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 2: And as Elon pointed out, I guess if the elevator

377
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:42,919
Speaker 2: breaks down, nobody can retire. It's just an hilariously antiquated system.

378
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 2: And my favorite quote from Elon on that was practically

379
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 2: anything would be better than this. Yeah, yeah, no kidding anyway, Arizona,

380
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,680
Speaker 2: Matt says, hey, guys, if they digitize the retirement process,

381
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 2: the morlocks living in the mine will not have enough

382
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 2: to do and we'll start to terrorize the eloy living

383
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 2: in DC. Excellent HG reference. Why is it necessary to

384
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 2: have two pieces of ID to open a bank account,

385
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 2: by the way, Jack telling them they tried to open

386
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:10,640
Speaker 2: a bank account for a child. The ridiculous Patriot Act

387
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 2: is so full of the government spying on us to

388
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 2: prevent another nine to eleven, some of which we thankfully

389
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:19,160
Speaker 2: learned from Edward Snowden. We probably still wouldn't know about

390
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 2: it though he was a trader. Yeah, they just went way, way,

391
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 2: way overboard. I get that you disrupt terrorist networks by

392
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:28,440
Speaker 2: following the money, but allow me to suggest that at

393
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 2: the point a thirteen year old boy can't have a

394
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 2: savings account opened in his name, you've gone too far.

395
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:37,200
Speaker 2: When he's there with his parent, Yes, which I can

396
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 2: prove who I am. To the point of Arizona MAT's

397
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 2: note here, which I think is excellent. Why is it

398
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 2: necessary to have two pieces of ideed open a bank account?

399
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 2: Isn't that too burdensome? Burdensome against people of color? An

400
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:53,360
Speaker 2: excellent point. No, ID needed to vote lots of places.

401
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:55,880
Speaker 2: But my thirteen year old, who's with me and I've

402
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,399
Speaker 2: had an account there for twenty five years, have to

403
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:00,680
Speaker 2: have two pieces. You have two pieces ID, your thirteen

404
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:04,440
Speaker 2: year old? Would you what the hell the one thing

405
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 2: you have to get used to in politics, especially, is

406
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 2: that people will make moral arguments with all the sincerity

407
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 2: of a of a dedicated preacher of the word. I

408
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:19,679
Speaker 2: mean of all they will put on the cloak of

409
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:26,440
Speaker 2: absolutely righteous kind humanity to make their arguments. They don't

410
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:29,719
Speaker 2: mean a stinking word of it. They're using your goodness

411
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:32,640
Speaker 2: against you making these arguments. Yeah, the combine they can't

412
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 2: ask for voter ideas. It's too burdensome for people of color. No,

413
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 2: that's a way to get fraudulent votes in and vote

414
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 2: harvest and the rest of it. That's it. And yes,

415
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 2: my complain is about a minor activity, hoping a savings

416
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 2: account fort a thirteen year old. But it just speaks

417
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:47,399
Speaker 2: to the sort of bureaucracy thing that Elon's talking about,

418
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 2: just the thickening of all the crap that slows things down,

419
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 2: makes it more expensive, makes it burdensome, it's a federal

420
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 2: law whatever. Yeah, it's kind of a small thing. But

421
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 2: I'm ThReD percent confident that Soulzan Nitsen himself would say, no,

422
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:07,120
Speaker 2: you're absolutely right to point out crap like that. That's

423
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 2: the snare that gets built around you. Let me see,

424
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 2: uh I will say. Harry in Portland says, let me

425
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 2: start by saying, your show is fantastic. Oh, that can

426
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 2: be the middle in the end too, if you want. Anyway,

427
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 2: your take on Putin was good on Thursday. That being

428
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:29,680
Speaker 2: that Putin's Putin behaves entirely in Putin's self interest one

429
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:31,639
Speaker 2: hundred percent of the time. There's nothing you can do

430
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:36,679
Speaker 2: to sway, cajole, threaten him. He is a calculating alligator

431
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 2: of a human being. Anyway, he said, But I believe

432
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:42,399
Speaker 2: Trump is walking softly and carrying a big stick, or

433
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:45,400
Speaker 2: he's a narcissistic moron. I don't. I just didn't hear

434
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:47,920
Speaker 2: the stick metaphor on the show. Keep entertaining my brain

435
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 2: and port not a. But we did take their nukes

436
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:55,920
Speaker 2: and promise to defend them in ninety one, if I'm

437
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 2: not mistaken, NaNs wed that gets left out of the

438
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:02,719
Speaker 2: the discussion. All the time Ukraine had nukes to protect themselves.

439
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 2: We said, now give them to us, we promise we'll

440
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 2: protect you. And we didn't give him to Russia. Really anyway,

441
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 2: I'm the lazy. We wanted all the Soviet nukes under

442
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:19,479
Speaker 2: the same central control. The latest wrinkle that we need

443
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:23,240
Speaker 2: to talk about with Russian Putin. Is Trump's saying he's

444
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 2: gonna go there and Putin might come here to the

445
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 2: White House. We're gonna have Vladimir Putin, one of the

446
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 2: most evil men on earth, a child killer, sitting with

447
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:35,239
Speaker 2: the President. I don't know want to feel about that

448
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 2: that's gonna happen. I don't even like him saying it

449
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 2: out loud. I don't either. He is maneuvering in his

450
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 2: inimitable way. And Robert Rights just heart a clip of

451
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 2: Caroline Levitt, the new Press Secretary, have to say. It's

452
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:51,119
Speaker 2: nice to hear someone who's every other word is not

453
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:56,399
Speaker 2: m or KJP was so terrible. She was unqualified for

454
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 2: the job. But then I love this, signed loyal listener,

455
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 2: Rob though for today known as that Hispanic Asian adult

456
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:11,159
Speaker 2: movie sensation Manuel Hung in the spirit of Elon Musk

457
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:18,200
Speaker 2: Wow being Harry Bowles, Manuel Hung, beautiful, Robert proud of yourself.

458
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 2: I get it, Okay, you're ready for the biggest rumor

459
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 2: in the world. According to Mark Calprin, will it terrify me?

460
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:28,679
Speaker 2: It's something, the biggest rumor in the world, persistent and

461
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:37,119
Speaker 2: omnipresent in the sort of salons that Mark Alpern dips

462
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:40,960
Speaker 2: into knowing all the players and everything is the talk

463
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 2: of a grand bargain between the United States and China

464
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:49,879
Speaker 2: that involves reduced tariffs, US access to Greenland, China's peaceful

465
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 2: taking of Taiwan, and several provisions and players to be

466
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 2: named later. It seems implausible to many ears and eyes.

467
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:00,960
Speaker 2: But the talk of the deal is every where right now,

468
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:06,720
Speaker 2: writes Mark Alprin, who is of one of those three

469
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:10,399
Speaker 2: team deals though where you know Cleveland for some reason

470
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 2: gets relief from their salary cap by taking some scrub right,

471
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:17,440
Speaker 2: But why is one of the pieces China gets peaceful

472
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:20,239
Speaker 2: access to Taiwan? And there's an article in the New

473
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:23,720
Speaker 2: York Times today sort of speaking to that, not getting

474
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 2: as specific. Taiwan prepares for Trump's tariffs and a changed

475
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:32,479
Speaker 2: Washington how they thought they were fully being supported by

476
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:34,880
Speaker 2: the United States. In no way, China gets to take

477
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 2: over and now things look different. Wow, that is a

478
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 2: troubling rumor, I'd say, I can't imagine how that would

479
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:47,440
Speaker 2: shake out. The New York Times article, with lots of

480
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:49,680
Speaker 2: quotes from Donald Trump and his people, make it sound

481
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 2: like Trump's all about no, no no, no, Why is Taiwan

482
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:55,639
Speaker 2: the leader making leader and making chips around the world

483
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:58,200
Speaker 2: that we need. That's a ridiculous way to structure the world.

484
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 2: Those chips need to be made here. You need to

485
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:02,400
Speaker 2: get those back over here. So that might be as

486
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 2: you want to be part of China, or you want

487
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:06,920
Speaker 2: to give us the chips and then we'll protect it.

488
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't know what he's talking about.

489
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:12,440
Speaker 2: Maybe this hearkens back to our conversation earlier about how

490
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 2: you don't get to make substitutions when you're dealing with

491
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 2: a human being. You can't say, can I have that

492
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:21,479
Speaker 2: without onions? Please for your spouse for instance. They are

493
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 2: who they are within you know, reason, Trump being the

494
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:28,000
Speaker 2: agitator in chief and not giving a damn about all

495
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 2: of the power structures of DC and how well, wait

496
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:33,720
Speaker 2: a minute, these hundred thousand people will all have always

497
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 2: had their job. They're always have their job and their

498
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 2: pension and the rest of it, and they contribute to me,

499
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 2: so neither party can mess with them. Okay, okay, And

500
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 2: everybody agrees and goes about their business, and they waste

501
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 2: more and more of our money. Well, he's shaking stuff

502
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 2: up like that he's shaking up the Middle East with

503
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 2: his actually ridiculous idea of taking over Gausen turning it

504
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 2: into a resort. But again, I want to get to

505
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 2: what that's shaken loose down the line. At the same time,

506
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 2: I don't think he understands or cares about Chesterton's fence.

507
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 2: He thinks, no, we'll build a Trump fence. It'll be

508
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 2: better than Chesterton, whoever that was. And we will see

509
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:13,959
Speaker 2: things shaken up that should not be shaken up. I

510
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 2: just hope it's not too many and too disastrously. What

511
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 2: he said about the Department of Education yesterday music to

512
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 2: my ears. We've got Katie's headlines on the way, lots

513
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:27,719
Speaker 2: of stuff stay here. There are so many headlines around

514
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:30,480
Speaker 2: the Elon Musk if you just like look at the

515
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 2: you know, we've got TV monitors and Twitter up and

516
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:35,240
Speaker 2: all the different news sources and everything like that. Elon's

517
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 2: name gets mentioned more than Trump's. Now, I think wonder

518
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 2: at some point of Trump's gonna be wait a second,

519
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 2: eit a second. Elon can't be the most famous person

520
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 2: in the world. I'm the most famous person in the world.

521
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 2: Could happen? That could be the point of Rubb. I'm

522
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 2: just I'm just pleased that America's geopolitical adversaries, who are

523
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 2: evil and dangerous, have agreed to pause their evil doing

524
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 2: while we yell at each other over doge. Oh no,

525
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 2: that's right there, doing a pace, as they say, to

526
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 2: do their evil. I've got a great example of that.

527
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:09,120
Speaker 2: Next hour. You need to wake up, friends, White wake up.

528
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 2: Let's figure out who's reporting what. It's the lead story

529
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 2: with Katie Green, Katie from ABC News.

530
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:19,240
Speaker 4: Hamas says it will release the hostages as planned on Saturday.

531
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:23,600
Speaker 2: In reference to what I just said, Andy McCarthy with

532
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 2: an absolutely devastating piece that should be read everywhere in

533
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 2: America came out a few weeks ago. The jihad against

534
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:34,920
Speaker 2: Jews is war against the West. He explains exactly what

535
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:36,480
Speaker 2: he means, and we will share that with you.

536
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 4: Trump's call with Putin alarms Europe and Ukraine.

537
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 2: Yeah. I I'm disgusted by the even throwing it out

538
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:51,160
Speaker 2: there as a possibility, the idea of Putin coming and

539
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 2: sitting in the White House and doing that whole thing

540
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 2: in the fireplace and like smiling and talking. I mean no,

541
00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 2: Trump thinks he can work him. You guys, mentioned. Yeah,

542
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 2: go ahead, you guys.

543
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 4: Mentioned this from Breitbart dot com.

544
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 2: Trump calls for.

545
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 4: Department of Education to be quote closed immediately.

546
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll listen to Trump explain why.

547
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 4: An hour two from the Free Beacon, Trump administration formerly

548
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 4: ends Biden's war on gas stoves.

549
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:26,600
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Oh so all those things that Trump has

550
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 2: done that because he has done so many things have

551
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 2: kind of gotten obscured. But the gas stoves thing. Bringing

552
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 2: back the regular light bulb water pressure rules that the

553
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:40,640
Speaker 2: Biden with a stroke of the pen had forced down

554
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 2: everybody's throat. You know, that's what Trump's always talking about.

555
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 2: You can't get any water pressure out of your shower. Unfortunately,

556
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 2: for folks living in blue states, the various governors of

557
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 2: those states have become frantic like a gavenousom, for instance,

558
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 2: in Trump proofing California, or the city in Massachusetts trying

559
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 2: to become a trans sanctuary, and they're doubling and tripling

560
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:05,040
Speaker 2: down on the madness. But at least it's your state deciding.

561
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:08,720
Speaker 2: The founding fathers did not think the federal government should

562
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 2: be involved in how much water pressure you have in

563
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 2: your toilet or how you cook your food.

564
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:20,080
Speaker 4: Good Lord, along those lines, from Fox News. EPA administrator

565
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 4: Zelden demand's return of twenty billion dollars in taxpayer money

566
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:28,200
Speaker 4: wasted on climate agenda by Biden.

567
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 2: Oh I love this so much, me too. From NBC.

568
00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 4: Judge rules that Trump's sweeping plan to persuade federal workers

569
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:41,000
Speaker 4: to resign can move forward.

570
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:46,240
Speaker 2: Yeah. Oh interesting. Yeah, the some of the addition the

571
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 2: initial injunctions where they judge shop some Obama appointees left

572
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 2: to Trotsky and he rules against Trump for a week

573
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:58,000
Speaker 2: and a half. It'll be fine. Let's just let the

574
00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:01,120
Speaker 2: fight begin. From ABC this week.

575
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 4: Shares of Elon Musk's Tesla have fallen.

576
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 2: Sharply, with the speculation that it is his vibe as

577
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 2: a guy who's trying to slash government and take over

578
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:17,520
Speaker 2: the country. I'll never be able to sell my car.

579
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:20,080
Speaker 2: It's probably worth half what it was when Trump got inaugurated.

580
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:23,960
Speaker 2: I mean, it's amazing. And this also from this week

581
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 2: about Elon Musk. Elon Musk called Thursday to delete entire

582
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:30,400
Speaker 2: agencies from the US federal government as part of a

583
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:33,880
Speaker 2: push under Trump to upend the restructure and delete entire agencies.

584
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 2: So it's that sort of headline as leading to the

585
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 2: Tesla shares crashing, they think.

586
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:43,960
Speaker 4: From the New York Times. Google calendar deletes Women's History Month,

587
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:47,240
Speaker 4: Black History Month, and Pride Month due.

588
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 2: To DEI rollback. All right, there you go. We know

589
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:57,720
Speaker 2: how that game works. Whatever what they've they've deleted them.

590
00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 2: They're just good. They doing the thing where they take

591
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 2: out things that people weren't upset about to see, like

592
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:06,440
Speaker 2: the government's forcing us to not even honor women anymore.

593
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 2: They're doing the all thing.

594
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 3: Eh from USA today, good enough to bathe in Papa

595
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:20,239
Speaker 3: John's unveils garlic dipping sauce inspired.

596
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:27,160
Speaker 2: Bath bomb, right, you know what. It's a desperate plead

597
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:30,239
Speaker 2: to dupe people like you, Katie into giving them a

598
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:34,839
Speaker 2: free commercial. Yes, like you just did. Although this one's

599
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:37,759
Speaker 2: amusing enough, I will the judges will forbid it. I

600
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:39,759
Speaker 2: can just see myself laying in the tomb and think,

601
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:41,799
Speaker 2: what a little bit of this. I wonder what it

602
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 2: tastes like.

603
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:46,719
Speaker 3: Oh gosh, this is repulsive.

604
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:47,680
Speaker 2: Anyway.

605
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:53,320
Speaker 4: Finally, the Babylon b Doge eliminates Congress after audit finds

606
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:55,919
Speaker 4: it's completely useless and mostly for show boo.

607
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:59,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, West Congress got like an eleven percent of brutal rating.

608
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 2: That's generous, you eleven percent. What are your standards. There's

609
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:09,520
Speaker 2: a lot going on today, too much going on. Yeah,

610
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:12,520
