Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.
Speaker 2: Arm Strong and Gatty and he Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 3: Authorities Imprey recently arrested a man who allegedly tried to
Speaker 3: smuggle hundreds of live spiders and insects out of the
Speaker 3: country by strapping them to his body. He might have
Speaker 3: gotten away with it except for the fact that he
Speaker 3: never stopped screaming.
Speaker 4: No, kidding, gut, I would Oh geez, we have some
Speaker 4: breaking news. This is actual breaking news, Michael, actual breaking news.
Speaker 2: Then I want your news breaks the Donkey brays. This
Speaker 2: is breaking news.
Speaker 4: I want you to hear it here before you hear
Speaker 4: it on the playground. First of all, this from the
Speaker 4: New York Times. A hacker and I'm using my finger
Speaker 4: quotes because it might have been a hacker technically, but
Speaker 4: were they directed or helped anyway? A hacker is said
Speaker 4: to have downloaded the file containing the testimony about Matt
Speaker 4: Gates from that House committee.
Speaker 5: No.
Speaker 4: The file is said to include the sworn testimony by
Speaker 4: the woman who said she had sex with Gates when
Speaker 4: she was seventeen, so that whole committee report that was
Speaker 4: supposed to come out Friday that didn't. Now a hacker
Speaker 4: has hacked in and gotten it, which might be true,
Speaker 4: and might be somebody said, hey, if you go to
Speaker 4: this website at two o'clock, I'll post it for you
Speaker 4: and you grab it, all right, and password.
Speaker 6: Is Congress, but with dollar signs instead of the.
Speaker 4: Essays right, and would be as likely a Republican as
Speaker 4: a Democrat because he has very few friends. And then
Speaker 4: this related to it, which is a heck of a
Speaker 4: bomb from your close friend Marjorie Taylor Green.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, we bonded. We met in an airport and
Speaker 6: we had a brief Maturia affair.
Speaker 4: Marn't everyone knows that Marthie Taylor Green just tweeted this out.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 4: She and Gates in those that crowd play hardball for
Speaker 4: my Republican colleagues in the House and Senate. If we're
Speaker 4: going to release ethics reports and rip apart our own
Speaker 4: that Trump is appointed and then put it let then
Speaker 4: let's put it all out there for the American people
Speaker 4: to see. Yes, she says, dot dot dot all the
Speaker 4: ethics reports and claims, including the one I filed all
Speaker 4: your sexual harassment and assault claims that were secretly settled,
Speaker 4: paying off victims with taxpayer money, the entire Jeffrey Epstein files, tapes, recordings,
Speaker 4: witness interviews, and not just know those. There's more than Epstein.
Speaker 4: He wasn't the only one. If we're gonna dance, let's
Speaker 4: all dance in the sunlight. All make sure we do.
Speaker 6: Wow, that's bringing it.
Speaker 4: That is bringing it, Cause there are remember that report
Speaker 4: that came out of several years ago where we found
Speaker 4: out there was like three hundred people in Congress or
Speaker 4: something like that that had settled claims out there, taxpayer
Speaker 4: paid claims, and then that stuff all went away.
Speaker 2: And she's saying, well, let's release all that.
Speaker 4: Let's hear from all these people that you that you
Speaker 4: settled with over the years and what you were accused
Speaker 4: of doing, et cetera, et cetera. If we're gonna dance,
Speaker 4: let's dance on the sunlight. She says, Yeah, this is
Speaker 4: this is a.
Speaker 6: Beautiful example of when you can hold two you know,
Speaker 6: somewhat post thoughts in your head. I'm not a big
Speaker 6: fan of Matt Gates. I don't think he's a good guy.
Speaker 6: I don't think he would be a good Attorney General,
Speaker 6: even though the dog DJ really needs to shake up.
Speaker 6: On the other hand, in DC, and this is fairly
Speaker 6: well known, getting called on your sins is entirely a
Speaker 6: matter of who's mad at you, and once you want
Speaker 6: you out of your way, because there are plenty of
Speaker 6: sins going on that never get called out. Because you've
Speaker 6: got friends, you got us support structure, you're the in crowd. Yeah.
Speaker 4: I don't know this, but I suspected heavily if there
Speaker 4: are like a hundred other guys who have done exactly
Speaker 4: the same thing in positions of power, they just it
Speaker 4: just didn't, you know, make the light a day for
Speaker 4: some reason, I could see why you'd be a little
Speaker 4: annoyed at the idea. Annoyed at the idea of, oh
Speaker 4: so Matt Gates doesn't get to be Attorney General because
Speaker 4: of this? How about you on this committee? Are you
Speaker 4: in that cabinet position?
Speaker 6: Yeah, as long as it doesn't get witch hunty, I
Speaker 6: could see, you know, let's just like my sweetheart says,
Speaker 6: let's just sign and shine the light on it and
Speaker 6: take a look at it. My hesitance in going along
Speaker 6: with their plan is that and we've seen this in
Speaker 6: our professional lives. A lot of lawsuits are bull crap.
Speaker 6: They're an effort to get a check. Yeah, I'm gonna
Speaker 6: accuse you of sexual harassment. Well we'll settle for twenty
Speaker 6: five grand. Okay, we're done here.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Well that's the hegzeth claim, right the guy that is
Speaker 4: up for Department of Defense.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and that accusation went nowhere.
Speaker 4: Secretary of Defense that he did pay a woman for
Speaker 4: the case to go away.
Speaker 2: That doesn't mean he did it.
Speaker 6: Yeah, settlements happen all the time when lawyers say, okay,
Speaker 6: you can settle this for ten k or defend it
Speaker 6: for one hundred k.
Speaker 2: It's ugly situation because yeah possible, it's.
Speaker 6: Forever know, and we need tort reform. But that's a
Speaker 6: different subject for a different day.
Speaker 4: How about that for Marjorie Taylor Green? Hmmm, I wonder
Speaker 4: if that would go.
Speaker 6: To dance Let's dance in the Sunlight, which sounds like
Speaker 6: a soft rock tune from the nineteen seventies.
Speaker 4: But well, you do have a lot of Democrats and
Speaker 4: Republicans saying we need, we need to release the committee
Speaker 4: report on Matt Gates. Okay, you want to, let's release
Speaker 4: all of these reports over the years from the very settlements.
Speaker 4: So let's just get them all out there. So were
Speaker 4: there two pieces of breaking news?
Speaker 6: Was that the two?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 6: There are the download in the Marjorie? Yeah, yeah, okay, cool, okay.
Speaker 6: I didn't want to jump in, you know, ahead of
Speaker 6: schedule here. So at the end of the last hour,
Speaker 6: I was discussing the banana duct tape to the wall,
Speaker 6: which is modern art worth over a million dollars according
Speaker 6: to Sotheby's. What is it?
Speaker 2: What is it supposed to portray? What is it?
Speaker 6: Then? And by the way, it's literally, that's exactly what
Speaker 6: I'm going to get to. Literally, a banana duct tape
Speaker 6: to wall. It's not like an exquisite oil painting by
Speaker 6: one of the Italian masters of well they didn't have
Speaker 6: duct tape back in the day. But a banana duct
Speaker 6: tape to wall.
Speaker 4: No, it's literally that I'm going to assume it represents
Speaker 4: man's inhumanity demand That's what I always say about modern art.
Speaker 6: WHOA how many did you? You got a PhD? In
Speaker 6: art history? Is that right? Yeah? Because you're close. I
Speaker 6: will tell you this though, this is and I'm not
Speaker 6: automatically contemptuous of anybody who's a quote unquote experts or
Speaker 6: learned or whatever. But this is such a beautiful example
Speaker 6: of exactly what Thomas Sowell was talking about. There are
Speaker 6: some ideas so crazy, stupid, ill advised, whatever, that only
Speaker 6: an intellectual could hold them. And my theme for the
Speaker 6: first couple hours of the show, and if you didn't
Speaker 6: hear them, I beg of you, sour two. Cut the crap.
Speaker 6: Don't be bamboozled by these ridiculous things. Were being told.
Speaker 6: A man can become a woman if he just says
Speaker 6: he's a woman. No, he can't.
Speaker 4: Before you get to telling us what a banana duct
Speaker 4: taped to a wall means. Yes, if you walked into
Speaker 4: someone's home and they showed you that, and even if
Speaker 4: they didn't hit you at the number, they said, yeah,
Speaker 4: this is from the Italian artist so and so, And
Speaker 4: I tell you what, Rizio Catalan. I paid a pretty
Speaker 4: penny for this. I had to outbid several uh version,
Speaker 4: wouldn't your immediately immediate thought be you're an idiot?
Speaker 6: I would look for a long moment or two for
Speaker 6: signs that they were kidding, that it was a joke.
Speaker 2: And then if it wasn't a joke, I would think
Speaker 2: you're an idiot.
Speaker 6: Then I would think you're an idiot. All right, So
Speaker 6: here you go. It's a banana duct tape to Walter
Speaker 6: Ig the end.
Speaker 2: That's it. That's the whole thing.
Speaker 6: According to Sotheby's, it's worth between one and one point
Speaker 6: five million dollars, even though this guy has sold several
Speaker 6: editions of it. There's the duct tape, grafts banana off
Speaker 6: the tapes to the wall. There's another hundred and fifty k. Honey,
Speaker 6: this is the best idea I've ever had.
Speaker 4: But anyway, back to soul, so it's on. It's like
Speaker 4: the signed lithograph copy thingy. When he tapes another banana
Speaker 4: of the wall, I guess.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yes, a frudograph anyway. David Galprin, Sotheby's head of
Speaker 6: Contemporary Art, told the Associated Press that Katlan Mauricio Catlan
Speaker 6: created a provocative work of art, and I quote, what
Speaker 6: Katalan is really doing is turning a mirror to the
Speaker 6: contemporary art world and asking questions, provoking thought about how
Speaker 6: we ascribe value to artworks, what we define as an
Speaker 6: art work, and went on what you buy when you
Speaker 6: buy Katalan's comedian. I didn't mention that the banana duct
Speaker 6: tape to the wall. The title of it is Comedian.
Speaker 2: That seems like a wink to me.
Speaker 6: Eh, it's a little on the nose, honey old Schnazola. Anyway,
Speaker 6: when you buy Katlan's Comedian, what you buy when you
Speaker 6: buy Kartlan's Comedian is not the banana itself, but.
Speaker 4: It's a certificate that a million and a half dollars
Speaker 4: banana seems outrageous.
Speaker 6: They got him by the bunch down there, de Kroger. Anyway,
Speaker 6: let me get through this. Wh What you buy when
Speaker 6: you buy a Catalan's Comedian is not the banana itself,
Speaker 6: but a certificate of authenticity that grants the owner of
Speaker 6: the permission and authority to reproduce this banana and duct
Speaker 6: tape on their wall as an original artwork by Maurzio Katlan.
Speaker 6: Chloe Cooper Jones, an assistant professor at the Columbia University
Speaker 6: School of the Arts. Is there any more corrupt and
Speaker 6: verse institution in America than Columbia University? I wonder? She said.
Speaker 6: The piece quote stands at the intersection of the sort
Speaker 6: of humor and the deeply macabre. He's quite often looking
Speaker 6: at ways of provoking us, not just for the sake
Speaker 6: of provocation, but to ask us to look into some
Speaker 6: of the darkest parts of history and ourselves. What the what? Wow?
Speaker 6: It would be hard to come up with a better
Speaker 6: simpler symbol of global trade and all of this, all
Speaker 6: of its exploitations than the banana. No important, profound, meaningful
Speaker 6: artwork of the past one hundred or two hundred years,
Speaker 6: or our history for that matter, did not provoke some
Speaker 6: kind of discomfort when it was first unveiled. Wow. Cooper
Speaker 6: Jones noted that the banana itself is a symbol for
Speaker 6: colonialism and corporate power. Wow.
Speaker 2: That is something.
Speaker 4: Wow, It's I'm a big Andy Warhol fan, and one
Speaker 4: of the reasons I like Andy Warhol is I believe
Speaker 4: he knew exactly what he was doing. He was he
Speaker 4: went to his grape thinking you all are crazy.
Speaker 2: I think.
Speaker 6: You still don't know I'm messing with Wow.
Speaker 2: Wow exactly.
Speaker 6: So if I were to go down to the local
Speaker 6: grocery store, grab some duct tape out of the garage,
Speaker 6: and duct tape of banana to my wall, would that
Speaker 6: be some sort of copyright violation or good question? What
Speaker 6: if it was a spoiled banana to symbolize this spoiled
Speaker 6: colonialism that is rotted out at equatorial somebody or other.
Speaker 2: Or a green one.
Speaker 4: Underripe portrayal of the flattening of the world economy.
Speaker 6: It symbolizes the exploitation of brown youth in the Third World.
Speaker 6: Look at that. The bananas symbolizes the young people, because
Speaker 6: it's a young banana. Do you get it? Do you
Speaker 6: get it?
Speaker 4: You are an idiot. They should be in charge of nothing.
Speaker 4: No kidding, you should be respected for nothing. In charge
Speaker 4: of nothing. Listen to never.
Speaker 6: Right, go keet a brush and some soap and clean
Speaker 6: a toilet for a while. Okay, down here on Earth,
Speaker 6: we've got stuff going on all right.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, that is hilarious. More all the ways there.
Speaker 4: So I was watching MSNBC this morning. I do that
Speaker 4: to see what they're talking about. I think everybody should.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 4: And Bremer's got an interesting pinned tweet at the top
Speaker 4: of his Twitter. It says, if you're not following somebody
Speaker 4: you don't agree with, you're doing it wrong. And I
Speaker 4: feel the same way about Twitter, reading newspapers, watching TV channels.
Speaker 4: Watch watch the channels you don't like, because there's there's
Speaker 4: a lot to learn from that. Anyway, On MSNBC, they
Speaker 4: were discussing that Pew study that came out about how
Speaker 4: many young people get their news from social media, and
Speaker 4: Mike Barnacle, who's an old Boston Globe writer who's like
Speaker 4: eighty years old, I mean, like really from old school journalism, saying,
Speaker 4: I don't know if we can ever be relevant again
Speaker 4: in newspapers and television. And you know, one of the
Speaker 4: reasons it's gonna be hard to be relevant again is
Speaker 4: the crap that you put out. Stop putting out crap,
Speaker 4: and it'd be a lot easier to be relevant. So
Speaker 4: on that very channel we played yesterday, their morning host
Speaker 4: Joe Scorbarro and Mika Brazilinski, who are actually big deals
Speaker 4: in democratic politics even though you've never watched them, went
Speaker 4: and visited Trump over the weekend. They went and sat
Speaker 4: down with Trump and tried to have some sort of
Speaker 4: we need to understand the Trump voter or something.
Speaker 2: I don't know what they're They bent.
Speaker 6: The knee, jack, they bent the knee.
Speaker 4: I don't know if that's what happened, but anyway's kind
Speaker 4: of hilarious. They went down and met with Hitler. After
Speaker 4: all the awful things they had said about Trump leading
Speaker 4: up to the election.
Speaker 2: Here's a little montage of that.
Speaker 7: I could go back and talk about Nazi Germany, and
Speaker 7: I do it. I do it without any concerns whatsoever.
Speaker 7: And if people can't start drawing the parallels, well you're
Speaker 7: just stupid, or you have your head in the sand,
Speaker 7: or you're one of them. It's just staggering that people
Speaker 7: that I know, people that I grew up with, could
Speaker 7: still even consider voting for this autocrat.
Speaker 1: As important as Trump's fascism is and is the lead
Speaker 1: story every day, his closing up to dictators, his obsession
Speaker 1: with Hitler, but this is what voters know right now
Speaker 1: that he is killing us. I'm talking about us women.
Speaker 6: He's killing us.
Speaker 4: She's barely holding it together emotionally because of the damage
Speaker 4: it's going to be done to women.
Speaker 2: But then you go down there, you fly down there
Speaker 2: in your.
Speaker 4: Private plane, and you meet with him for whatever reason,
Speaker 4: because well, I think it's because you got no ratings
Speaker 4: and you're trying to figure out how to save.
Speaker 2: Your careers that whole.
Speaker 4: If you don't see the parallels with Nazi Germany, you're
Speaker 4: either stupid or you're.
Speaker 2: One of them.
Speaker 4: Wow, that's pretty over the top. Oh my god, we're
Speaker 4: heading down for lunch. We're gonna go talk to Hitler
Speaker 4: because you know, our ratings are low. Speaking of that,
Speaker 4: Glenn Greenwald put out yesterday lots of articles on how
Speaker 4: MSNBC's audience has completely collapsed disappeared once Kamala lost. But
Speaker 4: the full extent is shocking. They're primetime shows. And he's
Speaker 4: got the list here of all the shows on CNN
Speaker 4: and MSNBC, particularly on MSNBC, since that's what we're talking about.
Speaker 4: Their primetime shows can't even get seventy five thousand people
Speaker 4: watching in demo nationwide, and their weekend shows get less
Speaker 4: than thirty A weekend show on MSNBC in the country
Speaker 4: of three and forty million people gets less than thirty
Speaker 4: thousand viewers.
Speaker 6: There are fifty one hundred podcasts. Oh god, I have
Speaker 6: much more reach than that, including our Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 6: why does anybody talk about them at all? Now? I
Speaker 6: know Morning Jose moving leading up to the election was
Speaker 6: getting a million people.
Speaker 4: That's still not much compared to like your big podcasts
Speaker 4: and everything like that.
Speaker 2: It's it's not enough to make you a household name.
Speaker 6: No, definitely not DC is a high school. It's a
Speaker 6: big high school, and they are the publishers of a
Speaker 6: high school newspaper.
Speaker 4: And if you're mister Beast or Jake Paul or neither
Speaker 4: YouTube sensations, you'd be like, why does anybody even know
Speaker 4: who they are?
Speaker 6: I mean with the relatives right yourself to sleep at
Speaker 6: night with their numbers, isn't that amazing?
Speaker 4: So a lot of that is just the older generation
Speaker 4: still in your mind thinking cable news is a big deal,
Speaker 4: these newspapers are a big deal, the evening news a
Speaker 4: big deal. They aren't, actually, And when we're all dead,
Speaker 4: which won't be that long, the next generation is not
Speaker 4: going to care about that stuff at all.
Speaker 6: They don't now right right, absolutely outrageous. I have some
Speaker 6: gender bending madness coming up. We could consider Tulsi Gabbard. Oh,
Speaker 6: the most entertainment, entertaining, interesting, revealing statistic I've heard yet
Speaker 6: about the election. All sorts of good.
Speaker 4: Stuff to come, armstrong and getty.
Speaker 8: President elect Donald Trump confirming once he takes office, he
Speaker 8: will declare a national emergency and use the military to
Speaker 8: help carry out his plans for mass deportations of undocumented immigrants.
Speaker 8: Tom Homan saying criminals will be the first to go.
Speaker 8: Homan says he's heading down tomar a Lago this week
Speaker 8: to put the quote final touches on a plan.
Speaker 4: So that's going to be one of the biggest stories
Speaker 4: of the very early part of the Trump administration. I
Speaker 4: just saw a Washington no The Hill. The Hill had
Speaker 4: the headline Trump promised to be a dictator on day
Speaker 4: one how Democrats can push back, so that seriously, I know,
Speaker 4: I know, you realize that sort of talk got Trump elected.
Speaker 4: But anyway, that is going to be the probably the
Speaker 4: first biggest thing. He says that that's going to be
Speaker 4: the priority on day one is to get the deportation
Speaker 4: thing started, so that'll be your first hullabaloo. Then he
Speaker 4: got the confirmation process for a bunch of different candidates.
Speaker 2: We all know that one.
Speaker 4: And then the whole tax thing hits, the Trump tax
Speaker 4: cuts and how they're going to be handled. So the
Speaker 4: first year is going to be jazzy man.
Speaker 6: Well, and we're gonna hear hot and cold running fake
Speaker 6: outrage for sure. I liked the clip we played earlier
Speaker 6: Scott Jennings saying, you know, during Obama's time, he was
Speaker 6: deporting people like crazy, Where was your outrage?
Speaker 4: Then your phonies, right, which is worth bringing up In
Speaker 4: a second. We'll get back to the deportations. Wanted to
Speaker 4: hear from Tom Holman, who is going to be Trump's
Speaker 4: immigration zar. Is that his official time ahead of the CBP?
Speaker 4: What is he going to be? Yeah, he's a guy
Speaker 4: yelling and talking about illegals. And this is particularly talking
Speaker 4: some about the deportation and the Lake and Riley trial
Speaker 4: that's going on. She was killed by an illegal. Here's
Speaker 4: him yesterday.
Speaker 5: And you should have been arrested by ICE in New
Speaker 5: York City, but there's a sanctuary city. He should never
Speaker 5: be in the country. Under President Trump, he wouldn't have
Speaker 5: been here. He would have been waiting in Mexico on
Speaker 5: the Remain in Mexico program. But here's what I want
Speaker 5: for all those mayors and governors who said they're going
Speaker 5: to push back in ICE to do this operation. I
Speaker 5: want you to listen to that tape of the young
Speaker 5: that young lady fighting for her life, fighting for her breath.
Speaker 5: She did not want to die and she fought hard.
Speaker 5: Listen to it. Just don't say, okay, another one died. No,
Speaker 5: I want you listen to the struggles because that happens
Speaker 5: across this country almost every day by an illegal alien.
Speaker 5: So I want those sanctuary city people out to say
Speaker 5: they're going to push back in ice. Listen to that
Speaker 5: and tell me. I just said President Trump wants to
Speaker 5: take public safety threats off the street. That's a priority
Speaker 5: as elected mayor of elected governor. Are you telling me
Speaker 5: that you don't want public safety threats out of your communities?
Speaker 5: That is your never want responsibility to protect your community.
Speaker 5: So smart enough and work with us.
Speaker 6: I love what he said the other day too, He said,
Speaker 6: all right, you're a city, you're a sanctuary city. You're
Speaker 6: not going to work with us. We're going to send
Speaker 6: enough ICE agents to get the job done. It's not
Speaker 6: going to impede us for a minute. You're going to
Speaker 6: make it order for us to do our jobs. We
Speaker 6: are going to flood your city with ICE agents.
Speaker 4: That lakeln Riley trial is going on, it's pretty damn gruesome.
Speaker 4: So I haven't followed it.
Speaker 6: It's heartbreaking.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just awful. It's not surprising.
Speaker 4: I guess that practically all headlines about it when they
Speaker 4: covered it all don't mention the guy being illegal. Like
Speaker 4: in the first paragraph or anything. That's why you've heard
Speaker 4: her name. Lots of people get killed, unfortunately, across the country,
Speaker 4: and they don't become a national story. Do you know
Speaker 4: why this one's a national story? Because she was killed
Speaker 4: by an illegal That's the whole reason it's a story.
Speaker 6: And I heard I haven't independently verified this that the
Speaker 6: federal government shipped the guy, having not booted him out
Speaker 6: of the country, shipped the guy to Georgia because they're
Speaker 6: redistributing various illegal immigrants all over the land, and that's
Speaker 6: where he murdered poor miss Riley.
Speaker 4: So we were talking deportations some last hour and the
Speaker 4: idea that there are six hundred thousand convicted criminals currently
Speaker 4: in the United States. That's the government's own numbers. That's
Speaker 4: the number Martha Raddits used on ABC this week Sunday morning,
Speaker 4: six hundred thousand criminals, and that's who the Trump administration
Speaker 4: says they're going to start with in terms of deporting
Speaker 4: And I was saying, how can you how can you
Speaker 4: be against that? So our friend Tim Sander for Tim
Speaker 4: the lawyer, weighed in, texting me on my personal phone
Speaker 4: he is a don't want to put words in his mouth,
Speaker 4: but he leans way more toward the libertarian open border's
Speaker 4: view of the way the world should run, which would
Speaker 4: be easier if we didn't have a welfare state. But
Speaker 4: I won't get hung up on that. He texted this,
Speaker 4: If there are six hundred thousand illegals who are criminals
Speaker 4: and you want to deport them, you give them due
Speaker 4: process of law. Right, so at least to hearing. Let's
Speaker 4: say each hearing lasts only ten minutes, that's six million minutes.
Speaker 2: That's eleven years.
Speaker 4: Unless Trump succeeds at his next January sixth attempt to
Speaker 4: stay in office illegally, his term won't last that long.
Speaker 4: So no due process of law? What due process do
Speaker 4: you get as an illegal? Or do you have to
Speaker 4: have process to figure out if you're illegal? Well, I've
Speaker 4: got a philosophical problem with that. I also have a
Speaker 4: mathematical problem with that.
Speaker 6: If you have one hundred courts nationwide doing these hearings,
Speaker 6: you've cut that timetable by one to one one hundredth
Speaker 6: of that or maybe five hundred chords, right, sure? Yeah?
Speaker 6: Or set up a quote unquote court in every storefront
Speaker 6: in Mrillo. I don't know. And as far as a
Speaker 6: due process is concerned. I'm not an expert on immigration law.
Speaker 6: I would certainly say, yeah, it's got to go through
Speaker 6: that process, whatever that is.
Speaker 4: We on the other hand, you don't deserve due process
Speaker 4: if you're here illegally, do you. But so the due
Speaker 4: process comes in trying to figure out if you're illegal
Speaker 4: or not, so you don't snatch citizens or people who
Speaker 4: have the proper documentation and send them out.
Speaker 2: Is that the whole thing?
Speaker 6: Well, well, see that's the problem. We've gotten into a
Speaker 6: weird space. And if I was an actual legal expert
Speaker 6: on this, I'd be able to elation more informative screed
Speaker 6: that I'm about to. But we have reached a point
Speaker 6: where merely being in the country illegally is not deemed
Speaker 6: reason to deport, right, And this has been the problem
Speaker 6: with illegal imitate a looking class. And we've been talking
Speaker 6: about this for thirty years, and it's always the same thing.
Speaker 6: You allow so much illegal immigration that it gets into
Speaker 6: the fabric work of everything, and then you've got all
Speaker 6: this pushback about why, well, who's gonna pick the tomatoes? Well,
Speaker 6: we wouldn't have gotten so off track with the way
Speaker 6: our system of the labor works.
Speaker 4: If we hadnt allowed so many illegal immigrants. And then
Speaker 4: you know, well, we got to give them driver's licensees,
Speaker 4: because how they're supposed to get to work if they're
Speaker 4: already here working, So tell them they can't drives.
Speaker 2: Dumb. He just keep back dooring all these things.
Speaker 6: And they're getting free education and healthcare and the taxpayer
Speaker 6: funded not free. And by the way, they get scholarships
Speaker 6: to our universities, and now you're gonna boot them out.
Speaker 6: That's that's bizarre. Well, you know, given the reality of
Speaker 6: the Blue States yet is kind of bizarre honestly, but
Speaker 6: you see what I mean, It's just it's.
Speaker 4: So the argument is always you let them all in
Speaker 4: and then you come up with all the reasons that
Speaker 4: you can't do anything about it. Now, well, they had
Speaker 4: a kid here, so the kid's a citizens. What are
Speaker 4: you going to do but the kid out with the
Speaker 4: and make the parents gowords a kid going by himself,
Speaker 4: and a kid has to go to school, it's a law.
Speaker 4: And they don't speak English, so we got to have
Speaker 4: a teacher that speaks the several languages to make sure
Speaker 4: that it just gets more and more complicated all the time.
Speaker 6: Yeah, at a certain point, and you know, corporations can
Speaker 6: certainly tell you this, those that have been you know,
Speaker 6: picked up by the scruff of their dysfunctional neck and
Speaker 6: shaken and reformed and become successful again by some new
Speaker 6: CEO or whatever. You have to return to first principles.
Speaker 6: And then when somebody says, yeah, but yeah, but yeah,
Speaker 6: but no, no, no, there's no compromising on your first principle.
Speaker 6: And then if you have to knot a bunch of
Speaker 6: things you've nodded up through your terrible policies through the years, Yeah,
Speaker 6: that's going to take some time and effort, but don't
Speaker 6: hit me with up yeah but yeah, but yeah. But
Speaker 6: when I say, if you're not here legally, you gotta.
Speaker 4: Go, well, if I was gonna argue it on the
Speaker 4: other side, I would say, good job on us. On
Speaker 4: the we want as many illegals as possible, which again
Speaker 4: we're all guessing as to why that is. Some of
Speaker 4: it is big labor needs the workers, so they're cool
Speaker 4: with it. And then Democrats wrongly assumed whether they get
Speaker 4: enough of people into this country from other countries, they'd
Speaker 4: all be Democrats for life.
Speaker 2: But that has turned out to absolutely not be true.
Speaker 4: So I'm surprised the Democratic Party hasn't turned somewhat on
Speaker 4: the immigration thing since a majority of Hispanic men voted for.
Speaker 2: Trump this time around.
Speaker 4: But anyway, on the side of wanting it to happen, yeah,
Speaker 4: it works pretty well once you get people here. It's
Speaker 4: just so damn difficult to boot them out without getting
Speaker 4: into the due process problem or the who's going to
Speaker 4: do the labor or separating families or all these other
Speaker 4: knots that you called them. That get no when you
Speaker 4: allow this in the first place.
Speaker 6: Yeah, And I would say also to folks expressing what
Speaker 6: Tim expressed, which is absolutely a valid point of view.
Speaker 6: I mean, clearly, there's got to be too pressed. You
Speaker 6: can't just run around grabbing anybody who looks somewhat brown
Speaker 6: and heaving them into Warez City. Okay, I get that.
Speaker 6: On the other hand, the idea that I don't know,
Speaker 6: we might go a little too far in not letting
Speaker 6: illegal immigrants stay, I mean, we're like a thousand miles
Speaker 6: from that.
Speaker 4: Well, right, But the question always to me is so then.
Speaker 2: What so I guess there's nothing you can do? I
Speaker 2: mean is that it guess.
Speaker 6: There's nothing to do.
Speaker 4: I guess we let in record number, week after week,
Speaker 4: month af from a year after year of a legal
Speaker 4: wife the law and there's just nothing you can do
Speaker 4: at this point because it violate this or that or
Speaker 4: be unfair here or there.
Speaker 2: And so I guess everybody just gets to say, is
Speaker 2: that the answer? Because that sounds like what the answer is?
Speaker 6: It's sure something like that. Yeah, yeah, on a completely
Speaker 6: different topic unless you have more on that. I don't. Well,
Speaker 6: And again, we've been at it for thirty years, and
Speaker 6: god will we'll be at it for thirty more. Actually,
Speaker 6: if I'm doing this in thirty years, god strike me down.
Speaker 2: Jeez, you'd be in your you'd be almost ninety.
Speaker 6: Right, Yeah, yeah, who'd want to hear that? I wouldn't
Speaker 6: want to hear that. Anyway, it's not going to happen.
Speaker 6: The fabulous Andy Know who tracks the far left violence
Speaker 6: of Antifa and folks like that. He's based out of Portland.
Speaker 6: He and some other Internet sleuths have come across this
Speaker 6: Secret Service agent who is a hardcore Antifa supporter, way lefty,
Speaker 6: pro lefty violence, absolute nut job. And the Secret Service
Speaker 6: hasn't figured this out or noticed it or whatever or
Speaker 6: what have you. But the the online sleuths have they've
Speaker 6: named the guy. They've got pictures of the guy. Yeah,
Speaker 6: all it takes is, you know, an hour or two's
Speaker 6: worth of effort, and they've found, what's the specifics of it.
Speaker 6: They found his various uh social media accounts even like
Speaker 6: music accounts and whatever, using the same screen name, with
Speaker 6: the same profile, a lot of the same verbiage with
Speaker 6: his name and his face, the same screen name. He
Speaker 6: posts under these to these Antifa groups talking about how
Speaker 6: he's been in law enforcement, but he hates it, and
Speaker 6: he hates all his colleagues, and he really wants to,
Speaker 6: you know, strike a blow for you know, your your
Speaker 6: radical leftists and all. Again. Internet sleuths could figure this
Speaker 6: out and the two shakes of a lamb's tail, but
Speaker 6: it was beyond the abilities of the Secret Service to
Speaker 6: rat to root this guy out. It's just unbelievable.
Speaker 4: I've got three quick celebrity stories before we wrap up
Speaker 4: this segment. One, The Country Music Awards are tomorrow night.
Speaker 4: You know what's interesting about that, it's the most watched
Speaker 4: awards show in America. Now Oscar's, Grammy's whatever. Country Music
Speaker 4: Awards are the biggest one. Peyton Manning one of the hosts.
Speaker 4: He's very funny and very popular. Other celebrity story, Rod
Speaker 4: Stewart has just announced his one last time tour. He's
Speaker 4: going to do a farewell tour, and I'm sure those
Speaker 4: will be big tickets unless there's another one, unless he
Speaker 4: does it like four more times.
Speaker 6: But farewell tour is not a legally binding term. It's
Speaker 6: like organic apparently true means whatever you want it to mean.
Speaker 4: And then this one, here's my favorite celebrity story of
Speaker 4: the day. Full team coverage on the fact that Betty
Speaker 4: White is going to get a new Forever stamp. She
Speaker 4: will be on the Forever stamp, the Betty White stamp.
Speaker 4: There you go, super fantastic. Frank, do you think it's
Speaker 4: who haven't ever mailed anything in the last two years?
Speaker 6: Nobody cares but the Country Music Awards the CMAS that
Speaker 6: what you said is the fact that that's the biggest,
Speaker 6: most watched is interesting to me. On the other hand,
Speaker 6: and I know a lot of folks agree. If it
Speaker 6: was the Joe Getty Society gives Joe Getty Awards for
Speaker 6: being Joe Getty, I wouldn't watch that show.
Speaker 4: I like to performance as I'll probably watch I want
Speaker 4: to see Shabboozi singing a bar song. And what's his name?
Speaker 4: The big fat guy, Jolly Roll is going to do
Speaker 4: a bunch of stuff. There are a lot of big
Speaker 4: fat guys, Jack, which one do you mean? We've got
Speaker 4: more coming up. Text line four one five two nine
Speaker 4: five KFTC.
Speaker 9: Pennsylvania Governor Jos Shapiro urging counties to respect the state
Speaker 9: Supreme Court's decision and stop counting disputed ballots, saying the
Speaker 9: following quote. Any insinuation that our laws can be ignored
Speaker 9: or do not matter is irresponsible and does damage to
Speaker 9: faith in our electoral process. The rule of all matter
Speaker 9: is in this Commonwealth, and as I have always said,
Speaker 9: it is critical for counties and officials in both parties
Speaker 9: to respect it with both their rhetoric and their actions.
Speaker 4: Pennsylvania gets a kick out of calling themselves a commonwealth
Speaker 4: for whatever reason.
Speaker 6: But what's going on there the recount of the Senate election,
Speaker 6: which was very, very close. There were a bunch of
Speaker 6: precincts where Democrats were in defiance of a judge's order
Speaker 6: counting undated or unsigned ballots, and the Supreme Court came
Speaker 6: and said, y'all got to stop, and you got to
Speaker 6: stop now. Now, you said you saw a headline that
Speaker 6: implied that it was going both ways. I haven't come
Speaker 6: across that. Well.
Speaker 4: I think Josh Shapiro said that yesterday because the governor
Speaker 4: had not made a statement about it, and then he
Speaker 4: made a statement yesterday the county's counting illegally both directions.
Speaker 2: Something or other. Maybe he just didn't recover. I don't know.
Speaker 6: I don't know, but I suspect rather strongly. It's like
Speaker 6: when Harvard comes out and says, yeah, we've had anti semitism,
Speaker 6: an anti Muslim sentiment. Two. Yeah, except it's been one
Speaker 6: hundred and one. You lie in liars. Anyway, we'll look
Speaker 6: into that and bring it to you. I've got a
Speaker 6: couple of stories here, briefly that have to do with
Speaker 6: putting people in groups. I think the way to bring
Speaker 6: people together is to divide them up into groups. So
Speaker 6: that's what we're going to do. First of all, skyrocketing
Speaker 6: property values are dividing Americans into three broad camps. Those
Speaker 6: that are now locked out of home ownership that'd be me,
Speaker 6: those that are effectively stuck in their current homes, and
Speaker 6: a lucky minority who have the flexibility to cash out
Speaker 6: at a historic Hi, although you got to live somewhere.
Speaker 4: Right, and rent is so high you almost have to
Speaker 4: move to make it work. You almost have to move
Speaker 4: someplace cheaper or really really downsize.
Speaker 6: Right, yeah, Or if you've got a ton of equity
Speaker 6: so you bank that, then you pay whatever you want
Speaker 6: and rent, I guess. But anyway, a.
Speaker 2: Couple of his death sane. At least we're around here.
Speaker 6: I mean, the rent, it's too damn Thank you sir.
Speaker 6: It's a good point. All of it has changed. Who
Speaker 6: walks through real estate eight agents doors. The share of
Speaker 6: sales to first time buyers has dropped to a record
Speaker 6: low twenty four percent. They don't say what it has
Speaker 6: been historically, so that doesn't help me much anyway. And
Speaker 6: first time buyers do show up have aged almost a decade. Traditionally,
Speaker 6: Americans got a foothold on the property ladder during their
Speaker 6: late twenties. Today, the median age of first time buyers
Speaker 6: is thirty eight. Wow.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 6: By the time Americans can't afford a home now, they've
Speaker 6: missed out on ten years of wealth creation that older
Speaker 6: generations enjoyed. I thought that was really interesting.
Speaker 4: If that's going to continue to be true. I mean,
Speaker 4: houses are so expensive. Are they going to continue to
Speaker 4: go up over the next ten years the way they
Speaker 4: have historically?
Speaker 2: Or not?
Speaker 6: She'ez nobody knows, unknodding the whole crazy crazy low rates
Speaker 6: followed by much more historically normal rates. How does that go?
Speaker 6: How does that knot? Nobody knows for sure, And I
Speaker 6: could go. We don't have much time. I really want
Speaker 6: to talk about this, but I refuse to rush through it.
Speaker 6: I refuse.
Speaker 2: It's tremendous discipline you're showing.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I feel like I got nothing to look forward
Speaker 4: to now that the Tyson Paul fight is over.
Speaker 2: I needs something on my calendar to look for.
Speaker 6: You need counseling and to be slapped hard, which is
Speaker 6: an odd combo. Here at Joe's brutal House of Counseling,
Speaker 6: we both validate your feelings and then punch you in
Speaker 6: the stomach for having them. Barbaric. I hear that you're
Speaker 6: feeling disappointed. I hear you say you have nothing to
Speaker 6: look forward to. Bamn right in the stomach.
Speaker 2: It was fun.
Speaker 4: Happened to that? Look forward to it? Me and the
Speaker 4: kids on a Friday night to get around watch and
Speaker 4: get some food.
Speaker 2: Whatever. That's fun.
Speaker 6: Well, maybe Netflix will come up with another embarrassing and humiliating,
Speaker 6: a moral spectacle, thing and hard to watch. Maybe Christians
Speaker 6: being eaten by lions. I wish we could have gotten
Speaker 6: to this. An editorial in The New York Times written
Speaker 6: by a sixteen year old unless year a fourteen year old.
