Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe, Katty Armstrong and.
Speaker 2: Jettie and he arms Happy Gallantines Day. I just learned
Speaker 2: about this Happy Gallantines Day right into that live from
Speaker 2: Studio C Hey dimly lit room within the bowels of
Speaker 2: the Armstrong and Getting Communications Compound. Hey, y'all, today we're
Speaker 2: under the tutelage of our general Manager, Donald J. Trump,
Speaker 2: shaker upper in chief. So Gallantine's Day comes from the
Speaker 2: television show Parts and Recreation. I guess it's a fan
Speaker 2: that is caught on over the last many years, and
Speaker 2: a lot of women get together for mimosas for brunch
Speaker 2: or drinks after work or whatever the day before Valentine's Day.
Speaker 2: You're nodding your head, Katie, you're aware of this or not?
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I've been invited to a few of these, and they
Speaker 4: give gifts and play games.
Speaker 2: Oh I didn't know there were gifts. Oh yeah, gifts
Speaker 2: and games. A bunch of celibate, non dating, bitter women
Speaker 2: who are giving up on life getting together. I don't
Speaker 2: think that's it at all.
Speaker 4: All of the girls that invited me to a Gallentine's Day,
Speaker 4: are married?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think that's it at all. Yeah, I
Speaker 2: think you're a whole bitter don't have it airing lesbians?
Speaker 2: Probably every woman who ever turned me down surely a lesbian.
Speaker 2: If if Gallentine's Day somehow like becomes a thing and
Speaker 2: women realize this is more fun without the dudes, we
Speaker 2: decide what we want to do and do it the
Speaker 2: way we want and where we want and what the
Speaker 2: people we want, and you're not here and everything like that,
Speaker 2: and it overtakes Valentine's Day, that would be awesome.
Speaker 4: Culturally speaking, I think, yeah, Galentine's Valentine's Day is about
Speaker 4: as big as friends giving.
Speaker 2: I mean it's caught on Okay, Yeah, it's definitely a thing.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And then uh, Golfanine's Day with the fellas well, y'all
Speaker 2: are doing that would be just fine. It'll all getting
Speaker 2: together for games and gifts. Sounds like hell to me.
Speaker 2: But if you know, go ahead and knock yourself the
Speaker 2: hell out have a good time. Yeah, you're here, that's awesome.
Speaker 2: How did I miss out on this? I guess you
Speaker 2: were doing it on the sly.
Speaker 4: Yep, we don't want anything to do with you guys
Speaker 4: during Valentine's.
Speaker 2: Day again, fair enough, it might be. I'll be on
Speaker 2: the back of nine. If I'm needed, I'll be over here.
Speaker 2: Text me if you need something. That's that's something we're
Speaker 2: breaking news to it good.
Speaker 6: I don't have to dip my body in red paint
Speaker 6: anymore on Valentine's Day.
Speaker 2: So far, I think Valentine's Day is still a thing.
Speaker 2: So I know you dip your body in red paint
Speaker 2: and you had that allergic reaction a couple of years ago. Yeah,
Speaker 2: we are. It was a whole thing. It was pretty bad.
Speaker 2: It was paint. It toldally not paint. Go with die
Speaker 2: food guy, red dye number one. It's good for you. ASCARFK.
Speaker 2: Junior is about to be the head of HHS. Were
Speaker 2: you up breaking news today? So Hamas has announced just
Speaker 2: in the last couple hours that they are going to
Speaker 2: release three more hostages at noon on Saturday. And it's
Speaker 2: being reported that that's satisfying the ceasefire agreement, which I
Speaker 2: think it strictly does. But I believe Trump said all
Speaker 2: of the hostages need to come back by noon on Saturday.
Speaker 2: Didn't he No more of this? Two here? Three? There
Speaker 2: two there, or is he backed off that. I haven't
Speaker 2: heard that he officially has. I wouldn't be surprised if
Speaker 2: he's backed off of it, just because that's not the
Speaker 2: agreement that the Israelis came to, right, that's like a
Speaker 2: brand new I've got a better idea, which is fine. Yeah, again,
Speaker 2: is the shaker upper in chief both domestically and foreign
Speaker 2: relations wise. And the latest version I've heard of him
Speaker 2: with the noon deadline for Saturday, he said Israel can
Speaker 2: overrule that. Of course, it's just my opinion. So maybe
Speaker 2: that's the backing off it. If Israel decides to just
Speaker 2: stay locked in with the ceasefire agreement, which I think
Speaker 2: he kind of have to, I don't think he can
Speaker 2: go beyond. Although if they're jerking you around, you know,
Speaker 2: starting to cancel. Of course, that whole treating the hostages
Speaker 2: the way they treat him up into the you know,
Speaker 2: the moment they get in the Israeli van, that's reason
Speaker 2: enough to break the deal as far as I'm concerned. Also,
Speaker 2: though Israel's main goal is we're gonna We're gonna ignore.
Speaker 2: You're poking me in the chest, you're spitting on me,
Speaker 2: you're calling my mom an m ephor you're doing all
Speaker 2: these things. I'm gonna ignore that until we get it
Speaker 2: back as many hostages as we can. Then I'm gonna
Speaker 2: kill your ass, every single one of you. Yes, putting
Speaker 2: aside the fact that my mom being an mfor is
Speaker 2: confusing at best, I agree. And Donald Trump is playing
Speaker 2: the role with a bad cop, which is kind of
Speaker 2: interesting given the fact that bibit net and Yaho's plenty
Speaker 2: of badass himself. But yeah, it's the madman theory. He said, no,
Speaker 2: we want all of them back by Saturday. Beebe's holding
Speaker 2: him back. I'm trying to hold him back. I'm trying well.
Speaker 2: As has been written by many people right center and left,
Speaker 2: it was completely the opposite under Biden. Oh, Biden was
Speaker 2: holding onto Bebe's shoulders, holding him back. Hey, jim As,
Speaker 2: I'm holding him back. He's not gonna go too far.
Speaker 2: I got him here, which was inexplicable and awful and
Speaker 2: morally wrong and all kinds of horrible things. But yeah, so,
Speaker 2: I just even heard David Ignatius of The Washington Post,
Speaker 2: no Trump fan, say it was Trump's threat that got
Speaker 2: Hamas back. In the structure of the ceasefire, deal, right, right,
Speaker 2: I have some really really interesting analysis of a couple
Speaker 2: of Trump's nuttiest statements thus far and the effect they've had,
Speaker 2: which is it's either four to five dimensional chess or
Speaker 2: it's a happy accident. But it's really interesting. Go the
Speaker 2: disruptor in chief. There is something to be said and
Speaker 2: just in life in general, for just plowing forward every
Speaker 2: day in every direction of your life and just just
Speaker 2: keep going, just keep going forward. Sometimes it works, sometimes
Speaker 2: it doesn't. That didn't work. To try this, it'll either
Speaker 2: work or you'll learn something from it. As they say,
Speaker 2: you try to avoid disastrous mistakes. But but yes, yes,
Speaker 2: let's start the show officially already. I'm Jack Armstrong, He's
Speaker 2: Joe Getty on this. It is Gallantine's Day. I can't
Speaker 2: believe I've just learned about this. That's a state. It's
Speaker 2: a big thanks saying combined words that are cute, see
Speaker 2: and it's just make me seccarently, let's do whatever you want.
Speaker 2: Just don't say the word is February thirteenth, year, twenty
Speaker 2: twenty five or Armstrong and getting we approve of this program.
Speaker 2: It's better for going to celebrate Gallantine's Day with their work.
Speaker 2: Husband and their Oh you know what i'd like for
Speaker 2: Galentine's Day? A staycation?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Lord, all right, let's begin officially now according to see
Speaker 2: rules and Regulations. One of my favorite opening clips and sometime,
Speaker 2: and it comes at mark.
Speaker 6: Elon, go take your musty million, and Mustar Mosca writes
Speaker 6: to the moon. That's because if you don't, we're.
Speaker 2: Going to stand up.
Speaker 6: We're gonna speak up, We're gonna mart We're gonna do
Speaker 6: anything we need to do to make sure that the
Speaker 6: people of this country understand that the stay up maybe.
Speaker 2: Just for them. You get your mustard hands. Oh blah
Speaker 2: money at a mousetown, you mustard boom boom moon. Things
Speaker 2: are getting weird. Okay, you musty boom moo moo. Right.
Speaker 2: How how has he become such a lightning rod? Because
Speaker 2: he's threatening their impossible to get rid of jobs. That's
Speaker 2: the whole thing, isn't it, right? And the money that
Speaker 2: flows to the politicians. Yeah, and also because they've realized
Speaker 2: that yelling that Trump's a dictator, Trump's a dictator, and
Speaker 2: it's just not working. They need a new devil to
Speaker 2: terrify people. With hl Menkin's endless series of hobgoblins meant
Speaker 2: to frighten the population, and there running one way or another.
Speaker 2: Elon's the newest hobgoblin or musty moo moo moo if
Speaker 2: you prefer. While I find it amusing. Like I told
Speaker 2: my kids at dinner last night about how he changed
Speaker 2: his Twitter handle to Harry Balls for a day is
Speaker 2: to make people say it. I don't think it helps
Speaker 2: him any but he's he's so childish in that way.
Speaker 2: So I got the new Tesla update on the computer
Speaker 2: showed up. You just get in your car and things
Speaker 2: are different, and so they interrupt. They updated this and
Speaker 2: it says ass and big letters on my screen ass
Speaker 2: actually smart summon. So he improved the summon feature where
Speaker 2: I can press a button on her any day, like
Speaker 2: the day the car will back out and come pick
Speaker 2: me up in front of the building and I can
Speaker 2: get in without having a walk in the rain. But
Speaker 2: the actually smart summon ASS. So it's his ass and
Speaker 2: pick letters, I mean, because because that's what he likes.
Speaker 2: I just I think, and you have to accept it.
Speaker 2: It's it's like I've you know, accepted my flaws along
Speaker 2: with my strength and that of my sweet wife and
Speaker 2: the rest of it. It just you get the package.
Speaker 2: There's no can I get this without onions with human beings.
Speaker 2: That's a that's a good one. That should be your quote.
Speaker 2: That might be your best quote. Oh no, no, I've tried,
Speaker 2: so is it a great one? All right? Thank you?
Speaker 2: There's no can I get this without onions with human beings?
Speaker 2: You like all the stuff with them? The other stuff
Speaker 2: comes with it, right, Which is not an excuse to
Speaker 2: be an extra hot, spicy onion all the time. You
Speaker 2: ought to try to, you know, just soften your onion
Speaker 2: inness to make the relationship work. But ros is there
Speaker 2: any of the things that you really hair a stray
Speaker 2: hair in the burger? You don't want that? That by
Speaker 2: personality you can get certainly, that's right. But there you go. Finally,
Speaker 2: Michael I came up with a quote worth memorizing, being
Speaker 2: remembered by the generations the ages to come. But we
Speaker 2: got more clips of this, and we've had him for
Speaker 2: several days. The elon as a lightning rod and like
Speaker 2: the biggest threat in America to a certain segment of
Speaker 2: society is just so interesting. He wants to make government
Speaker 2: smaller and less efficient. How is that so horrible efficient
Speaker 2: yea more efficient, yeah, smaller and more vision less efficient
Speaker 2: to be easy. You just wait his speech yesterday about
Speaker 2: yesterday about bureaucracy, and he actually he gave a speech
Speaker 2: overnight to some video conference in Dubai. I don't understand
Speaker 2: how he lives his life, but talking about it's it's
Speaker 2: the government by the bureaucracy, up the bureaucracy. Just I
Speaker 2: wish everybody understood the way bureaucracies work, the way they grow,
Speaker 2: the way they become, you know, the iron law bureaucracy.
Speaker 2: They become about serving the bureaucracy more than accomplishing their goals.
Speaker 2: It's just it's all real. It's like a science. We
Speaker 2: need to bring back a couple of the clips from
Speaker 2: the other day where he was describing that. I you know,
Speaker 2: perhaps some of the folks didn't hear them, and I
Speaker 2: would love to hear them again. Trump with some strong
Speaker 2: statements about the Department of Education and how bad it
Speaker 2: is and how he wants to get rid of it.
Speaker 2: We'll get into that coming up. We got mailed bag
Speaker 2: a little bit later, case headlines and other news of
Speaker 2: the day. I hope you can just stick around.
Speaker 5: Armstrong Andyetty that Jesus I know would be dressed in
Speaker 5: full drag and serving face, or handsome as a trans man,
Speaker 5: or wrapped in the garb of a non binary person
Speaker 5: who knows one gender is way too small to capture
Speaker 5: their gloriousness.
Speaker 2: It's a tease ahead to the podcast we're going to
Speaker 2: do after the show. Every day after the show we
Speaker 2: do the One More Thing podcast will play the entire audio, well,
Speaker 2: not the entire audio, because it'd be like an hour long,
Speaker 2: but many minutes of a city council meeting they had
Speaker 2: in Wooster, mass last night to be as they voted
Speaker 2: to become a trans sanctuary city. Whatever the hell that means.
Speaker 2: Good Lord, that was a crazy person. Oh that's why
Speaker 2: I wanted to put it in the podcast so we
Speaker 2: can play the whole thing. It is an endless parade
Speaker 2: of mentally ill people as far as I can tell,
Speaker 2: and the city then decided to do what they want. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it is truly a cult, the whole something else but
Speaker 2: radical trans theory cult. If you don't usually grab the
Speaker 2: One More Thing podcast, you listen to this or whatever,
Speaker 2: you should. We do good stuff every single day. We
Speaker 2: kind of have some breaking news Katie Katie the news lady.
Speaker 4: We do this morning in Munich, Germany, a driver deliberately
Speaker 4: drove into a crowd of people Injuring twenty eight and
Speaker 4: it's confirmed that he is a kabulborn Afghan asylum seeker,
Speaker 4: already known for drug crimes and theft.
Speaker 2: Twenty four years old. Yeah, so I assume people are
Speaker 2: thinking it might be one of those isis like attacks
Speaker 2: we had in New Orleans. They're calling it a deliberate attack. Yeah,
Speaker 2: very much like that, and of even greater significance. The
Speaker 2: flow in Europe and especially Germany these days was one
Speaker 2: hundred percent toward cracking down on immigration and to the
Speaker 2: bizarre multicultural experiment that Angela Merkel was running in the
Speaker 2: rise of the AfD, the far Ish right party that
Speaker 2: everybody's acting like is anathema. We can't have them in power.
Speaker 2: Has this reap which is so Heinrich. I was listening
Speaker 2: to some sober news analysis I remember it was, but
Speaker 2: it was like somebody who's like, you know, tries to
Speaker 2: be honest, who fought Marilla Penn's group would win in
Speaker 2: France next election because this topic thought, Wow, okay, well
Speaker 2: you do rep what you saw You're absolutely right. So
Speaker 2: there's two topics there. Really, it's the whole unfettered immigration
Speaker 2: of people who want you to go away, which is
Speaker 2: an odd policy to have in any country. And two,
Speaker 2: the how's the modern world gonna do with these car attacks?
Speaker 2: How are you gonna You can't protect every crowded area
Speaker 2: that exists. I mean, I could name off the top
Speaker 2: of my head twenty that have no protection whatsoever. Yet.
Speaker 2: I don't want to give anybody any ideas, but I
Speaker 2: mean it'd be very difficult to do. Even more significantly
Speaker 2: than that. I think the whole radical Islam versus the
Speaker 2: West thing it took a nap. It's not over. It's
Speaker 2: far from over. Well, And to that point, I didn't
Speaker 2: get into the story. I saw the headline Israel is
Speaker 2: considering significant strikes on Iranian nuclear sites this year. US
Speaker 2: intelligence agencies warned that's a breaking news in the Wall
Speaker 2: Street Journal. Why somebody leaked that? Why the US intelligence
Speaker 2: agencies know what Israel's going to do and then we
Speaker 2: leaked it in the United States? Is that an attempt
Speaker 2: to get them to not do it? Is that to
Speaker 2: warn a Ran? I'm not exactly sure that stuff can
Speaker 2: get very complicated, But that's the story overnight. Two main possibilities.
Speaker 2: It was, you know, the permanent bureaucracy in intelligence or
Speaker 2: the State Department that leaked it to constrain Israel, like
Speaker 2: you said, in a very Biden administration like act, or
Speaker 2: deliberate leak from the Trump administration saying yeah, Israel is
Speaker 2: just going to whack the hell out of you boys. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so get to negotiating or something. Come correct. Exactly how
Speaker 2: much time we got, Michael? About six months? How much
Speaker 2: time we got? You know the way you eat? Yeah, acts,
Speaker 2: I got a minute thirty. You look like you're harried.
Speaker 2: Are you harried? What's the problem. Oh, we're just on
Speaker 2: something here. Okay, first personal life or a radio show?
Speaker 2: Oh my god, let them we're goodness on the air.
Speaker 2: You made a flavorable I thought it might be a
Speaker 2: personal life thing. You don't know, day before Valentine's Day
Speaker 2: and say we don't have dinner reservations and he's on
Speaker 2: the phone with his wife and you know, you know,
Speaker 2: you never that can happen. Turns out that's not the case. Though,
Speaker 2: I'm wearing horrible socks today and this is not making
Speaker 2: my job easier. Somehow, I let the laundry get behind
Speaker 2: and I went throw all my decent socks and that's
Speaker 2: down to my Why do I even have them in
Speaker 2: the drawer at the back of the drawer, incredibly uncomfortable?
Speaker 2: What was I thinking when I bought them? What decade
Speaker 2: did they come from? Socks? And I'm wearing them today
Speaker 2: and they're just it's it's gonna affect my mood the
Speaker 2: entire day. I think a lot of us do it.
Speaker 2: We stick them in the back of the drawer as
Speaker 2: if they're going to heal themselves or get better or something. Yeah,
Speaker 2: or why would why would you get down to your
Speaker 2: emergency socks before you do well, won't you just do
Speaker 2: laundry before you get to your last beer? I don't know.
Speaker 2: It's a a I've failed at living, is what I've done.
Speaker 2: We've got mail bag on the way. How is that looking?
Speaker 2: It's outstanding, full of revelations and insights, great freedom loving
Speaker 2: quote of the day in just an insanely busy news day,
Speaker 2: socks are like they're designed to be annoying, Like the
Speaker 2: whole point was to make you unhappy all day long.
Speaker 2: If you miss a segment of the show, get the
Speaker 2: podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand Armstrong and Getty. You know,
Speaker 2: I don't want to talk about what Trump did every day,
Speaker 2: but he does so much stuff. Surely it'll taper off
Speaker 2: at something potentially huge significance. How do you not, I mean,
Speaker 2: you made him our general manager today, disruptor in chief.
Speaker 2: There's so much stuff around Taiwan and Russia and Israel,
Speaker 2: not to mention the remaking of the federal government in
Speaker 2: a bunch of different ways. So yeah, you gotta talk about
Speaker 2: all that. The biggest rumor in the world, according to
Speaker 2: Mark Calprin, that involves Greenland and China and Taiwan and
Speaker 2: all kinds of stuff. I'll share that with you this
Speaker 2: half hour because it's it's damned interesting. Oh there's a
Speaker 2: lot to wrap your arms around there. Freedom, I mean
Speaker 2: quoted the day, continuing on with old Abe Lincoln. His
Speaker 2: birthday was yesterday. It used to be a holiday. I mean,
Speaker 2: that's your trans day of visibility or whatever. Anyway, we
Speaker 2: used to have holidays that meant something. We're just pandering
Speaker 2: to special interest groups anyway. Lincoln known for his great
Speaker 2: political speeches, but also it struck me and looking through
Speaker 2: this list, some very ben Franklin like advice for living,
Speaker 2: I mean a lot. Be sure you put your feet
Speaker 2: in the right place, then stand firm, said Lincoln. That's
Speaker 2: pretty good. No man has a good enough memory to
Speaker 2: be a successful liar. That's another good one. Let's see,
Speaker 2: h where's the other one that I really like? That
Speaker 2: first one is a better written version of Is this
Speaker 2: the Hill you Want to Die on? Yeah? Yeah. Character
Speaker 2: is like a tree, and reputation like a shadow. The
Speaker 2: shadow is what we think of it. The tree is
Speaker 2: the real thing. And then finally, and this one will
Speaker 2: either chill you to the bone, spur you to action,
Speaker 2: or both. The philosophy of the schoolroom in one generation
Speaker 2: will be the philosophy of government in the next. That's
Speaker 2: a Lincoln quote. Allegedly there's a guy who didn't go
Speaker 2: to school. That's pretty interesting. Yeah, I'll have to research that.
Speaker 2: I'm it doesn't aware recently the number of quotes it's
Speaker 2: a little bit too good. Yes, yes, I would agree.
Speaker 2: The number of quotes that are misattributed on the internet
Speaker 2: is roughly seventy eight percent. You can quote me on that.
Speaker 2: We're going or say Ben Franklin said, just in general,
Speaker 2: we're going further down the road of the Internet being
Speaker 2: practically worthless in terms of looking anything up. Yeah, and
Speaker 2: some of them, some of the things I've come across
Speaker 2: are kind of inexplicable too. A P. J. O'Rourke quote
Speaker 2: attributed to Christopher Hitchens. Why why pt Work's a fine
Speaker 2: guy to quote, very smart and a charming man. Quote
Speaker 2: him instead of Hitchins. The idea is just as good.
Speaker 2: Mailbag Woo. I can't believe they named those big luxury
Speaker 2: cars after me, Abraham Lincoln, totally authentic. You can drop
Speaker 2: us the note mail bag at Armstrong and Geddy dot com.
Speaker 2: Where to send the Palestinians while rebuilding Gaza, writes Bill,
Speaker 2: pull it DeSantis habit, ship them to Iran. They'd fit
Speaker 2: right in. Furthermore, Iran's already funding and supporting them anyway,
Speaker 2: so this would probably be more Doge, cost effective and
Speaker 2: efficient for everyone. He says. Keep up the great work,
Speaker 2: guys and crew. I say, keep up the great emails,
Speaker 2: Bill from Kansas. That's clever, Speaking of which, called Trump
Speaker 2: the shaker upper in Chief. What his absolutely nutty Gaza
Speaker 2: Lago plan has shaken loose coming up? Stay with us Arizona,
Speaker 2: Matt if they digitize the Oh, this is check describing
Speaker 2: to us what Elon Musk was describing. I guess, yeah,
Speaker 2: that's right. We played the Elon Musk audio describing how
Speaker 2: there was a limit to the number of federal employees
Speaker 2: that could retire at any given time. It's one thousand
Speaker 2: a month because the way they file the retirement papers
Speaker 2: is to take actual papers, put them in actual Manila envelopes,
Speaker 2: carry them down a long elevator, down a mine shaft
Speaker 2: into a mine and where is it, Arizona or Nevada
Speaker 2: or something like that, put them in a cardboard box
Speaker 2: for some reason, right, it like it's nineteen fifty three.
Speaker 2: And as Elon pointed out, I guess if the elevator
Speaker 2: breaks down, nobody can retire. It's just an hilariously antiquated system.
Speaker 2: And my favorite quote from Elon on that was practically
Speaker 2: anything would be better than this. Yeah, yeah, no kidding anyway, Arizona,
Speaker 2: Matt says, hey, guys, if they digitize the retirement process,
Speaker 2: the morlocks living in the mine will not have enough
Speaker 2: to do and we'll start to terrorize the eloy living
Speaker 2: in DC. Excellent HG reference. Why is it necessary to
Speaker 2: have two pieces of ID to open a bank account,
Speaker 2: by the way, Jack telling them they tried to open
Speaker 2: a bank account for a child. The ridiculous Patriot Act
Speaker 2: is so full of the government spying on us to
Speaker 2: prevent another nine to eleven, some of which we thankfully
Speaker 2: learned from Edward Snowden. We probably still wouldn't know about
Speaker 2: it though he was a trader. Yeah, they just went way, way,
Speaker 2: way overboard. I get that you disrupt terrorist networks by
Speaker 2: following the money, but allow me to suggest that at
Speaker 2: the point a thirteen year old boy can't have a
Speaker 2: savings account opened in his name, you've gone too far.
Speaker 2: When he's there with his parent, Yes, which I can
Speaker 2: prove who I am. To the point of Arizona MAT's
Speaker 2: note here, which I think is excellent. Why is it
Speaker 2: necessary to have two pieces of ideed open a bank account?
Speaker 2: Isn't that too burdensome? Burdensome against people of color? An
Speaker 2: excellent point. No, ID needed to vote lots of places.
Speaker 2: But my thirteen year old, who's with me and I've
Speaker 2: had an account there for twenty five years, have to
Speaker 2: have two pieces. You have two pieces ID, your thirteen
Speaker 2: year old? Would you what the hell the one thing
Speaker 2: you have to get used to in politics, especially, is
Speaker 2: that people will make moral arguments with all the sincerity
Speaker 2: of a of a dedicated preacher of the word. I
Speaker 2: mean of all they will put on the cloak of
Speaker 2: absolutely righteous kind humanity to make their arguments. They don't
Speaker 2: mean a stinking word of it. They're using your goodness
Speaker 2: against you making these arguments. Yeah, the combine they can't
Speaker 2: ask for voter ideas. It's too burdensome for people of color. No,
Speaker 2: that's a way to get fraudulent votes in and vote
Speaker 2: harvest and the rest of it. That's it. And yes,
Speaker 2: my complain is about a minor activity, hoping a savings
Speaker 2: account fort a thirteen year old. But it just speaks
Speaker 2: to the sort of bureaucracy thing that Elon's talking about,
Speaker 2: just the thickening of all the crap that slows things down,
Speaker 2: makes it more expensive, makes it burdensome, it's a federal
Speaker 2: law whatever. Yeah, it's kind of a small thing. But
Speaker 2: I'm ThReD percent confident that Soulzan Nitsen himself would say, no,
Speaker 2: you're absolutely right to point out crap like that. That's
Speaker 2: the snare that gets built around you. Let me see,
Speaker 2: uh I will say. Harry in Portland says, let me
Speaker 2: start by saying, your show is fantastic. Oh, that can
Speaker 2: be the middle in the end too, if you want. Anyway,
Speaker 2: your take on Putin was good on Thursday. That being
Speaker 2: that Putin's Putin behaves entirely in Putin's self interest one
Speaker 2: hundred percent of the time. There's nothing you can do
Speaker 2: to sway, cajole, threaten him. He is a calculating alligator
Speaker 2: of a human being. Anyway, he said, But I believe
Speaker 2: Trump is walking softly and carrying a big stick, or
Speaker 2: he's a narcissistic moron. I don't. I just didn't hear
Speaker 2: the stick metaphor on the show. Keep entertaining my brain
Speaker 2: and port not a. But we did take their nukes
Speaker 2: and promise to defend them in ninety one, if I'm
Speaker 2: not mistaken, NaNs wed that gets left out of the
Speaker 2: the discussion. All the time Ukraine had nukes to protect themselves.
Speaker 2: We said, now give them to us, we promise we'll
Speaker 2: protect you. And we didn't give him to Russia. Really anyway,
Speaker 2: I'm the lazy. We wanted all the Soviet nukes under
Speaker 2: the same central control. The latest wrinkle that we need
Speaker 2: to talk about with Russian Putin. Is Trump's saying he's
Speaker 2: gonna go there and Putin might come here to the
Speaker 2: White House. We're gonna have Vladimir Putin, one of the
Speaker 2: most evil men on earth, a child killer, sitting with
Speaker 2: the President. I don't know want to feel about that
Speaker 2: that's gonna happen. I don't even like him saying it
Speaker 2: out loud. I don't either. He is maneuvering in his
Speaker 2: inimitable way. And Robert Rights just heart a clip of
Speaker 2: Caroline Levitt, the new Press Secretary, have to say. It's
Speaker 2: nice to hear someone who's every other word is not
Speaker 2: m or KJP was so terrible. She was unqualified for
Speaker 2: the job. But then I love this, signed loyal listener,
Speaker 2: Rob though for today known as that Hispanic Asian adult
Speaker 2: movie sensation Manuel Hung in the spirit of Elon Musk
Speaker 2: Wow being Harry Bowles, Manuel Hung, beautiful, Robert proud of yourself.
Speaker 2: I get it, Okay, you're ready for the biggest rumor
Speaker 2: in the world. According to Mark Calprin, will it terrify me?
Speaker 2: It's something, the biggest rumor in the world, persistent and
Speaker 2: omnipresent in the sort of salons that Mark Alpern dips
Speaker 2: into knowing all the players and everything is the talk
Speaker 2: of a grand bargain between the United States and China
Speaker 2: that involves reduced tariffs, US access to Greenland, China's peaceful
Speaker 2: taking of Taiwan, and several provisions and players to be
Speaker 2: named later. It seems implausible to many ears and eyes.
Speaker 2: But the talk of the deal is every where right now,
Speaker 2: writes Mark Alprin, who is of one of those three
Speaker 2: team deals though where you know Cleveland for some reason
Speaker 2: gets relief from their salary cap by taking some scrub right,
Speaker 2: But why is one of the pieces China gets peaceful
Speaker 2: access to Taiwan? And there's an article in the New
Speaker 2: York Times today sort of speaking to that, not getting
Speaker 2: as specific. Taiwan prepares for Trump's tariffs and a changed
Speaker 2: Washington how they thought they were fully being supported by
Speaker 2: the United States. In no way, China gets to take
Speaker 2: over and now things look different. Wow, that is a
Speaker 2: troubling rumor, I'd say, I can't imagine how that would
Speaker 2: shake out. The New York Times article, with lots of
Speaker 2: quotes from Donald Trump and his people, make it sound
Speaker 2: like Trump's all about no, no no, no, Why is Taiwan
Speaker 2: the leader making leader and making chips around the world
Speaker 2: that we need. That's a ridiculous way to structure the world.
Speaker 2: Those chips need to be made here. You need to
Speaker 2: get those back over here. So that might be as
Speaker 2: you want to be part of China, or you want
Speaker 2: to give us the chips and then we'll protect it.
Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't know what he's talking about.
Speaker 2: Maybe this hearkens back to our conversation earlier about how
Speaker 2: you don't get to make substitutions when you're dealing with
Speaker 2: a human being. You can't say, can I have that
Speaker 2: without onions? Please for your spouse for instance. They are
Speaker 2: who they are within you know, reason, Trump being the
Speaker 2: agitator in chief and not giving a damn about all
Speaker 2: of the power structures of DC and how well, wait
Speaker 2: a minute, these hundred thousand people will all have always
Speaker 2: had their job. They're always have their job and their
Speaker 2: pension and the rest of it, and they contribute to me,
Speaker 2: so neither party can mess with them. Okay, okay, And
Speaker 2: everybody agrees and goes about their business, and they waste
Speaker 2: more and more of our money. Well, he's shaking stuff
Speaker 2: up like that he's shaking up the Middle East with
Speaker 2: his actually ridiculous idea of taking over Gausen turning it
Speaker 2: into a resort. But again, I want to get to
Speaker 2: what that's shaken loose down the line. At the same time,
Speaker 2: I don't think he understands or cares about Chesterton's fence.
Speaker 2: He thinks, no, we'll build a Trump fence. It'll be
Speaker 2: better than Chesterton, whoever that was. And we will see
Speaker 2: things shaken up that should not be shaken up. I
Speaker 2: just hope it's not too many and too disastrously. What
Speaker 2: he said about the Department of Education yesterday music to
Speaker 2: my ears. We've got Katie's headlines on the way, lots
Speaker 2: of stuff stay here. There are so many headlines around
Speaker 2: the Elon Musk if you just like look at the
Speaker 2: you know, we've got TV monitors and Twitter up and
Speaker 2: all the different news sources and everything like that. Elon's
Speaker 2: name gets mentioned more than Trump's. Now, I think wonder
Speaker 2: at some point of Trump's gonna be wait a second,
Speaker 2: eit a second. Elon can't be the most famous person
Speaker 2: in the world. I'm the most famous person in the world.
Speaker 2: Could happen? That could be the point of Rubb. I'm
Speaker 2: just I'm just pleased that America's geopolitical adversaries, who are
Speaker 2: evil and dangerous, have agreed to pause their evil doing
Speaker 2: while we yell at each other over doge. Oh no,
Speaker 2: that's right there, doing a pace, as they say, to
Speaker 2: do their evil. I've got a great example of that.
Speaker 2: Next hour. You need to wake up, friends, White wake up.
Speaker 2: Let's figure out who's reporting what. It's the lead story
Speaker 2: with Katie Green, Katie from ABC News.
Speaker 4: Hamas says it will release the hostages as planned on Saturday.
Speaker 2: In reference to what I just said, Andy McCarthy with
Speaker 2: an absolutely devastating piece that should be read everywhere in
Speaker 2: America came out a few weeks ago. The jihad against
Speaker 2: Jews is war against the West. He explains exactly what
Speaker 2: he means, and we will share that with you.
Speaker 4: Trump's call with Putin alarms Europe and Ukraine.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I I'm disgusted by the even throwing it out
Speaker 2: there as a possibility, the idea of Putin coming and
Speaker 2: sitting in the White House and doing that whole thing
Speaker 2: in the fireplace and like smiling and talking. I mean no,
Speaker 2: Trump thinks he can work him. You guys, mentioned. Yeah,
Speaker 2: go ahead, you guys.
Speaker 4: Mentioned this from Breitbart dot com.
Speaker 2: Trump calls for.
Speaker 4: Department of Education to be quote closed immediately.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll listen to Trump explain why.
Speaker 4: An hour two from the Free Beacon, Trump administration formerly
Speaker 4: ends Biden's war on gas stoves.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Oh so all those things that Trump has
Speaker 2: done that because he has done so many things have
Speaker 2: kind of gotten obscured. But the gas stoves thing. Bringing
Speaker 2: back the regular light bulb water pressure rules that the
Speaker 2: Biden with a stroke of the pen had forced down
Speaker 2: everybody's throat. You know, that's what Trump's always talking about.
Speaker 2: You can't get any water pressure out of your shower. Unfortunately,
Speaker 2: for folks living in blue states, the various governors of
Speaker 2: those states have become frantic like a gavenousom, for instance,
Speaker 2: in Trump proofing California, or the city in Massachusetts trying
Speaker 2: to become a trans sanctuary, and they're doubling and tripling
Speaker 2: down on the madness. But at least it's your state deciding.
Speaker 2: The founding fathers did not think the federal government should
Speaker 2: be involved in how much water pressure you have in
Speaker 2: your toilet or how you cook your food.
Speaker 4: Good Lord, along those lines, from Fox News. EPA administrator
Speaker 4: Zelden demand's return of twenty billion dollars in taxpayer money
Speaker 4: wasted on climate agenda by Biden.
Speaker 2: Oh I love this so much, me too. From NBC.
Speaker 4: Judge rules that Trump's sweeping plan to persuade federal workers
Speaker 4: to resign can move forward.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Oh interesting. Yeah, the some of the addition the
Speaker 2: initial injunctions where they judge shop some Obama appointees left
Speaker 2: to Trotsky and he rules against Trump for a week
Speaker 2: and a half. It'll be fine. Let's just let the
Speaker 2: fight begin. From ABC this week.
Speaker 4: Shares of Elon Musk's Tesla have fallen.
Speaker 2: Sharply, with the speculation that it is his vibe as
Speaker 2: a guy who's trying to slash government and take over
Speaker 2: the country. I'll never be able to sell my car.
Speaker 2: It's probably worth half what it was when Trump got inaugurated.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's amazing. And this also from this week
Speaker 2: about Elon Musk. Elon Musk called Thursday to delete entire
Speaker 2: agencies from the US federal government as part of a
Speaker 2: push under Trump to upend the restructure and delete entire agencies.
Speaker 2: So it's that sort of headline as leading to the
Speaker 2: Tesla shares crashing, they think.
Speaker 4: From the New York Times. Google calendar deletes Women's History Month,
Speaker 4: Black History Month, and Pride Month due.
Speaker 2: To DEI rollback. All right, there you go. We know
Speaker 2: how that game works. Whatever what they've they've deleted them.
Speaker 2: They're just good. They doing the thing where they take
Speaker 2: out things that people weren't upset about to see, like
Speaker 2: the government's forcing us to not even honor women anymore.
Speaker 2: They're doing the all thing.
Speaker 3: Eh from USA today, good enough to bathe in Papa
Speaker 3: John's unveils garlic dipping sauce inspired.
Speaker 2: Bath bomb, right, you know what. It's a desperate plead
Speaker 2: to dupe people like you, Katie into giving them a
Speaker 2: free commercial. Yes, like you just did. Although this one's
Speaker 2: amusing enough, I will the judges will forbid it. I
Speaker 2: can just see myself laying in the tomb and think,
Speaker 2: what a little bit of this. I wonder what it
Speaker 2: tastes like.
Speaker 3: Oh gosh, this is repulsive.
Speaker 2: Anyway.
Speaker 4: Finally, the Babylon b Doge eliminates Congress after audit finds
Speaker 4: it's completely useless and mostly for show boo.
Speaker 2: Yeah, West Congress got like an eleven percent of brutal rating.
Speaker 2: That's generous, you eleven percent. What are your standards. There's
Speaker 2: a lot going on today, too much going on. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm thinking mostly the geopolitical stuff, which could get ugly.
Speaker 2: We'll talk more about that and a whole bunch of
Speaker 2: other things. If you missed a segment, get the podcast
