1 00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:06,120 Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 2 00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:10,560 Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe Getty, arm. 3 00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:12,480 Speaker 2: Strong and Gatty, and he. 4 00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:27,240 Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getty. According to a study, more men are 5 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:31,640 Speaker 1: picking up sewing as a hobby, which is helpful when 6 00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:37,960 Speaker 1: they want to reattach their testicles. I don't agree with 7 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,440 Speaker 1: that it is traditional gender roles. It has become a thing. 8 00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:44,760 Speaker 1: My son wanted and got a sewing machine for Christmas, 9 00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:45,800 Speaker 1: my sixteen year old son. 10 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:47,800 Speaker 2: Oh, it's a thing with him. 11 00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:49,320 Speaker 1: And his friends. It kind of fits in with the 12 00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:52,199 Speaker 1: whole Thrifting is such a thing now for clothes. 13 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,680 Speaker 2: I mean, it is a thing that young people. 14 00:00:56,320 --> 00:01:01,120 Speaker 1: I don't know how many young people I just randomly mentioned, 15 00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:04,480 Speaker 1: like nieces and stuff like that. My son's super into it. 16 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:06,400 Speaker 1: People like go, oh, yeah, we went to blah blah blah, 17 00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:08,640 Speaker 1: we did some thrifting. That's just something you do now 18 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,840 Speaker 1: when you go to a town. How interesting, given the 19 00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:15,399 Speaker 1: fact that every generation is at least in part a 20 00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,560 Speaker 1: reaction to the generation or two before, it, could it 21 00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:23,080 Speaker 1: be that the insane profligate spending of the Boomers and 22 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 1: perhaps even Gen X, has convinced the youngsters, This is 23 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 1: not the way to live your life. And they probably 24 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,559 Speaker 1: don't know the countries in debt, but who knows. God, 25 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:35,680 Speaker 1: I hope, so that would be one of the greatest 26 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 1: things that's happened in my lifetime. Yeah, but they really 27 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 1: ought to round up the old and jail us all 28 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:44,360 Speaker 1: for spending them into bankruptcy. But that another time. Yeah, 29 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,039 Speaker 1: I didn't intend to get on this topic, but I 30 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 1: was listened to a podcast with historian Neil Ferguson yesterday 31 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:52,360 Speaker 1: about the debt crisis, particularly in Great Britain but also 32 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 1: the United States as being like the really, really the 33 00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 1: biggest story in all of the world. It just gets 34 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:04,280 Speaker 1: so little coverage or nobody does anything about it. It's 35 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 1: it's just it's like, I don't know what would be 36 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 1: even a good analogy, Like I don't know. I've got 37 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,639 Speaker 1: a brain tumor, and I talk about all kinds of 38 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 1: other things all the time, but never talk about my 39 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 1: brain tumor. And the level of certainty that it will 40 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 1: kill you is extremely high. 41 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, well, it's like. 42 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:26,800 Speaker 1: Right, right, yeah, anyway, I know it's it's willful ignorance. 43 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 1: It is whistling past the graveyard. 44 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:29,800 Speaker 2: I don't know. 45 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 1: There was a shooting in Minneapolis. I don't know if 46 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:33,519 Speaker 1: you've heard about this. We talked about it quite a 47 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:34,920 Speaker 1: bit now or one. We're going to talk about it 48 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 1: again bottom of this hour. Different views. It was all 49 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 1: intentional by the left. It just went a little wrong. 50 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,519 Speaker 1: I will explain. Oh interesting, they got what they wanted. 51 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:51,240 Speaker 1: In fact, they got precisely what they wanted. So the 52 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 1: whole Greenland thing is interesting. Seems pretty clear in the 53 00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: coming century, as the world kind of gets split between 54 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 1: China and the United States, I do think that is 55 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 1: going to more or less happen that Greenland be on 56 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,520 Speaker 1: our side one way or another. 57 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:08,519 Speaker 2: Doesn't have to be a state. 58 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,519 Speaker 1: We don't have to own it, but we need to 59 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 1: be China and Russia can't be involved in it whatsoever. Anyway, 60 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,400 Speaker 1: all this talk being thrown around about a military invasion 61 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 1: and everything that Trump's perfectly happy to say about Greenland. 62 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 1: This is what David Ignatius wrote in the Washington Post. 63 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 1: And some of you will probably hate this, but he wrote, 64 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 1: Trump's swaggering campaign to buy Greenland, or sees it outright, 65 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 1: has instead produced a crisis. It could damage American security 66 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 1: for decades far out weighing any gains from control of 67 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 1: the barren island. 68 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 2: I thought that's a hell of a thing to say. 69 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 1: Shooting yourself in the foot is too generous a description 70 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 1: for Trump's effort. It's more like shooting yourself in the head. 71 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 1: He's basing this all on what European leaders, how they're reacting, 72 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 1: and what they're telling him behind the scenes, and how 73 00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 1: upset they are about this. I will a withhold my 74 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 1: opinion until you go further unless you'd like my opinion. Now. 75 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 1: That's yeah, that's more or less the end of it. 76 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 1: I would throw in that the Republican chair of the 77 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 1: Senate Armed Services Committee, Roger Wicker, he's a Republican. 78 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:16,839 Speaker 2: He said, this is a topic that should be dropped. 79 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, I've read and heard from a number of 80 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:25,840 Speaker 1: folks whose opinions I really express, who are unquestionably conservatives, 81 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 1: and also believe that Greenland being a buddy is not 82 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 1: good enough. We need to We can't be going to 83 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 1: the thirty to sixty thousand people. However, many people are 84 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 1: on Greenland and say, hey, gee, can we expand our 85 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,279 Speaker 1: presence or do you mind if we base this or 86 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,919 Speaker 1: that off your land or whatever? No, that's not going 87 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 1: to be good enough going forward. We've got to have 88 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:55,720 Speaker 1: control of it for national security, geopolitical reasons, which y'all 89 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 1: are probably more or less familiar with. So we need 90 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 1: to have serious control over Greenland. People who agree one 91 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,039 Speaker 1: hundred percent with that, virtually one hundred percent of them 92 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 1: say yeah, but you don't bully your way in. That's 93 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:14,480 Speaker 1: gonna make it harder, not easier. Shut up, don't. Don't 94 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 1: demand the land and the dignity of our friends and allies. 95 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,919 Speaker 1: It's a terrible strategy. But it's like the one speed 96 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,800 Speaker 1: Trump knows well. David Ignatius is writing. He's suggesting that 97 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:30,360 Speaker 1: these European leaders actually believe some. 98 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 2: Sort of military action is on the table. It's not, 99 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 2: is it. It can't be sh. 100 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 1: It's on the table in the in that Trump never 101 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 1: takes it off the table, but it's way over the 102 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:40,239 Speaker 1: end of the table. 103 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 2: Could happen. I don't believe it could happen. 104 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,320 Speaker 1: They seem to the European leaders actually are worried that, 105 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 1: you know, we're gonna land marines on Greenland and round 106 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:55,479 Speaker 1: up the penguins and teaching English. Wow. Wow, that's a 107 00:05:55,600 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 1: settler colonialism. Mmm. Uh yeah, it just oh my god, 108 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:06,360 Speaker 1: there's no need to humiliate people who are probably inclined 109 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 1: to come to a deal anyway. It's the end of 110 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 1: my take on that. Right, So we're really into the 111 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 1: what's going on in Iran? They got maybe the revolution 112 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:22,200 Speaker 1: is happening. The biggest flag there in Tehran that has 113 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,280 Speaker 1: the big Islamic Republic what have they ever? They call 114 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 1: themselves the Islamic Republican overn I think got taken down 115 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 1: by protesters yesterday. That has never happened before in any 116 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:40,160 Speaker 1: of these revolutions. It's more widespread around the country than 117 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:44,479 Speaker 1: previous uprisings have been. For whatever reason. While there has 118 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:49,480 Speaker 1: been some cracking down by by the Mullahs, not at 119 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 1: the level that they usually do. I don't exactly know 120 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:54,840 Speaker 1: what the game is. If they feel like they've got 121 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 1: to let off some steam, or they're scared of Trump, 122 00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:02,279 Speaker 1: who said over the weekend they start shooting protesters, the 123 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 1: United States is going to get involved. What get involved 124 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 1: means nobody knows, but right you know, coming out of Venezuela, 125 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 1: the Itola might think get involved means I got helicopters 126 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 1: outside my bedroom all of a sudden, and I got 127 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 1: a blind fold on, and my legs tied together, right right. 128 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 1: So there are two really fundamental ways that these protests 129 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 1: are different than the protests before in twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen, 130 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, twenty twenty one, twenty twenty two. Number one, 131 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 1: you just hit on one of them that in contrast 132 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 1: to previous administrations who thought, all right, we got to 133 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 1: stay out of it. Let this stay a domestic Iranian thing. 134 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 1: That way, the Republican Guard and the molas can't claim 135 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 1: it's the colonial Americans trying to exert their running dog 136 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 1: capitalist will on our people. Blah blah blah. So our 137 00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 1: previous administrations have kept the hands off. The problem with 138 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 1: that policy is number one, they're gonna blame the US anyway. 139 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 1: So what's the difference. And Trump has and I was 140 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 1: criticizing him seconds ago, Trump has said, no, what's clearly right, 141 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 1: what's clearly best for the United States, is that these people, 142 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 1: the protesters win. I'm not going to pretend we don't 143 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,440 Speaker 1: think that. I'm gonna state it openly. Not only that, 144 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 1: I'm gonna threaten them, moll as, if they mess with 145 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 1: the protesters, I'm gonna kill them. That is a really 146 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 1: interesting innovative way to approach this sort of situation. I've 147 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:32,760 Speaker 1: been studying this thing, this sort of thing since i 148 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 1: was a kid. 149 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 2: That's ballsy and I like it. 150 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,960 Speaker 1: Anyway, Having said that, the other way, it's totally different. Jack. 151 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,800 Speaker 1: I think you may have touched on this these protests 152 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:46,559 Speaker 1: is that in previous times they're like centered on Tehran 153 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,559 Speaker 1: and maybe you saw a little bit out in the hinterland. 154 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:53,840 Speaker 1: As of yesterday morning, protests had taken place in twenty 155 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 1: eight of around thirty one provinces, including a couple that 156 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:03,680 Speaker 1: generally are considered bastions of regime loyalty. So this is 157 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 1: way more widespread. Has a lot to do with the economy. 158 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's men. We learned that with our election. 159 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 1: Grocery store prices, gas prices, man, that is a huge 160 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,520 Speaker 1: political topic for people. So I went to the trouble 161 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:21,040 Speaker 1: coming up with this, and I'm going to issue with it. 162 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 1: The protest took place in twenty eight out of the 163 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 1: thirty one provinces. The three that did not participate Ayatola, 164 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:33,200 Speaker 1: Chusets Islamdiana and Martyrland. Anyway, well, you get to the 165 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 1: grocery store and you need to buy your beard oil 166 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:41,959 Speaker 1: and your your turbine whatever, and twice when I say 167 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 1: lightweight spring turbine, yes, your beard. 168 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:46,840 Speaker 2: Oils doubled in price the last two months. 169 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 1: You get up, you upset, you get pissed off, right, 170 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:53,400 Speaker 1: actually to your point that you are making lightly but 171 00:09:53,679 --> 00:10:00,920 Speaker 1: with great skill. People will put up with, say, being 172 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,600 Speaker 1: oppressed or being told you got to live like this 173 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:08,320 Speaker 1: and act like this if the economy is pretty good 174 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 1: in their lives are pretty good, and they can do 175 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:12,760 Speaker 1: what they want behind closed doors. And there are other 176 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 1: examples of the different sorts of freedom. But if you're 177 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:21,280 Speaker 1: being oppressed and your great protectors and their economy sucks, 178 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:26,080 Speaker 1: and you're seeing sixty two percent food inflation year after 179 00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:31,000 Speaker 1: year and forty plus percent general inflation year after year, 180 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:35,760 Speaker 1: suddenly the chafing of oppression starts to chafe bad. And 181 00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 1: that's what's happening in Iran. And I just man, I 182 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:42,080 Speaker 1: would love to see the Islamic Republic go down into 183 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:47,400 Speaker 1: the destained, moldy pages of history. 184 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 2: Camel saddles have tripled since the. 185 00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:52,959 Speaker 1: Al right, with your cliches, that's enough of that, all right, 186 00:10:54,320 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 1: that's that's check ourselves your beer, and I'm Middle East rhetoric. 187 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 1: So we've we've touched on Greenland and Iran. The Venezuela 188 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 1: thing is crazy. It's more interesting in a way than 189 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:16,440 Speaker 1: swooping in and snatching up Old the bus driver Maduro. 190 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,839 Speaker 1: In a lot of ways, I just see oh oh 191 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:25,600 Speaker 1: and Cuba, Cuba Libre, the Cubans, the Cuban COMMI leaders 192 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,080 Speaker 1: are stewing in their own juices right now, wondering when 193 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:31,000 Speaker 1: the helicopters are going to come down the street? 194 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 2: Are we saying Cuba now? Do I need to start 195 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:34,000 Speaker 2: rolling my rs? 196 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:39,840 Speaker 1: Whenever we discuss any of these things, Moduro. I just 197 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:43,440 Speaker 1: saw some polling on CBS. It's forty eight fifty two, 198 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:47,720 Speaker 1: so fifty to fifty on whether or not you support 199 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:51,680 Speaker 1: what Trump did in Venezuela, almost exactly what the election was. 200 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 2: The voting. 201 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,079 Speaker 1: Is you like Trump, you're in you said, Oh, I'll 202 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 1: probably go with it. If you don't like Trump, yeh, 203 00:11:57,760 --> 00:11:59,840 Speaker 1: I'm probably against it. Because you don't really have an opinion. 204 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:02,400 Speaker 1: I'll tell you this and then we can go to 205 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:04,199 Speaker 1: a break and figure out what to talk about. We'll 206 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,960 Speaker 1: talk about the shooting in Minneapolis in a few minutes, 207 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 1: but the whole yeah, yeah, we're in charge of the 208 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 1: oil now and we're keeping the money and we'll give 209 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:17,200 Speaker 1: some of it back. And the President's done this with 210 00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:20,560 Speaker 1: a number of things, including chip companies and tech companies. 211 00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 1: We now own at ten percent, fifteen percent stake, whatever 212 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 1: it is. So the executive branch like has its own 213 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:31,439 Speaker 1: source of income outside of Congress, which has the power 214 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,880 Speaker 1: of the purse, and kind of has an executive fund 215 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:39,199 Speaker 1: side hustle and slush fund. That's not a thing, as 216 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 1: the kids say, constitutionally, we're gonna have to wrestle with that. 217 00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:49,080 Speaker 1: That's the really interesting part to me. What are we doing? 218 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,160 Speaker 1: You go to the store in Mullachusetts and sandal straps 219 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 1: or sixty dollars a piece, and you think. 220 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:55,680 Speaker 2: This will not stand. 221 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,240 Speaker 1: I've had enough. I'm taking to the streets, he says 222 00:12:58,240 --> 00:12:58,800 Speaker 1: to yourself. 223 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,320 Speaker 2: You says, college football playoffs. 224 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,000 Speaker 1: And now I don't want to mention something about that 225 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,600 Speaker 1: that I learned while I was in Louisiana, among other 226 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:06,760 Speaker 1: things on the way stay tuned. 227 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:09,400 Speaker 2: Armstraw and Yetti. 228 00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:14,080 Speaker 3: Had some drama in tonight's game pitting Miami versus Mississippi. 229 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 3: Miami came into the playoffs ranked tenth out of twelve teams, but. 230 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,480 Speaker 1: Had no problem knocking off the. 231 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:23,839 Speaker 4: Two seed defending champion Ohio State in the quarterfinal. 232 00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:24,840 Speaker 5: I'm sorry, honey. 233 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 1: Miami has won five national championships in its storied history, 234 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,920 Speaker 1: but none since two thousand and one. Ole miss has 235 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,200 Speaker 1: just one recognized co championship. 236 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 2: Guys, So, well, there you go. 237 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,520 Speaker 1: They're talking about college football on CBS this morning because 238 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 1: he got playoff games going now, which one thing we learned, 239 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:47,000 Speaker 1: which is not a surprise, the ability to guess which 240 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:51,080 Speaker 1: teams are good is not as accurate as actually have 241 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:56,080 Speaker 1: the teams play each other. College sports has always been 242 00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:58,280 Speaker 1: nutty in terms of the way they rank them at 243 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,319 Speaker 1: the beginning of the season or back in the day 244 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 1: they used to vote at the end of the year 245 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:03,520 Speaker 1: who was the best. 246 00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:06,439 Speaker 2: College football team? How wrong was that so many times? 247 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:11,960 Speaker 1: Because Ohio State got just demolished by Miami. But the 248 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 1: reason I bring this up is not because around the 249 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 1: country you might not know this, but in California, nobody 250 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,200 Speaker 1: cares about college sports for the most part. I was 251 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:23,120 Speaker 1: shocked by that because I lived in the Midwest, and 252 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:25,040 Speaker 1: then I was in the South, where college sports were 253 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:26,400 Speaker 1: every bit. 254 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 2: As big as pro sports. 255 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,400 Speaker 1: If not bigger, if not bigger, yeah yeah, and then 256 00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 1: if ever ending conversations. If you were a dude and 257 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,680 Speaker 1: you're not up on college football, you're standing by yourself 258 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 1: twiddling your thumbs at your local holiday gathering. Yeah, or 259 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,520 Speaker 1: college basketball, depending on where you live. And then I 260 00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 1: got to California and people just don't care. Now I 261 00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:46,720 Speaker 1: was amazed by that. But so there I was in Louisiana, 262 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,200 Speaker 1: back in the South there for a couple of days 263 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 1: and they got the Sugar Bowl going on where Georgia 264 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:56,040 Speaker 1: was playing a Ole miss and the hotel I was 265 00:14:56,080 --> 00:15:00,520 Speaker 1: staying in was the hotel for the Sugar Bowl. They 266 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:03,360 Speaker 1: had all the media there, so the media everywhere. The 267 00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 1: one floor was all media people, and then there's all 268 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 1: the fans and like a lot of big giant guys 269 00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:11,080 Speaker 1: that were I assume were players walking around. 270 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:15,040 Speaker 2: And so when Georgia played. 271 00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 1: Or the Ohio State game, so Georgia was really interested 272 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:21,600 Speaker 1: in Ohio State getting knocked off because they thought they 273 00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:24,240 Speaker 1: could win the championship. It was like a game inside 274 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:25,920 Speaker 1: the hotel down at the bottom where they had the 275 00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 1: big screen TV on and people just cheering like crazy 276 00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:29,480 Speaker 1: and going nuts. 277 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:31,840 Speaker 2: So and everybody in jerseys and stuff. It's very exciting. 278 00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 1: But what I noticed about and my son noticed that 279 00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 1: when we were walking around on New Year's Eve, Bourbonsey said, 280 00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:38,760 Speaker 1: why are there so many old guys here? There's as 281 00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 1: many people your age, guys yours age as there are 282 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,080 Speaker 1: young people and everything like that. And it's that whole 283 00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:48,200 Speaker 1: legacy our family. We're all Miss family. And it's just 284 00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:52,320 Speaker 1: like a lot of southern college football dudes who looked 285 00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:57,320 Speaker 1: really wealthy wearing fancy watches all over the place, that 286 00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:02,000 Speaker 1: were really into their team George guys or whatever. They 287 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:05,480 Speaker 1: were absolutely correct. Yeah, it's such a major part of 288 00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 1: the culture in the Southeastern US and well just South 289 00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:10,520 Speaker 1: in general, because Texas is part of it too. Yes, 290 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,640 Speaker 1: it's absolutely true, and it's kind of charming, different, interesting 291 00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:17,720 Speaker 1: usually yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, just how much it means 292 00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,760 Speaker 1: to families to be we're an old Miss family or 293 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:23,640 Speaker 1: a Georgia family or a Bama family or whatever. Yeah. 294 00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:26,120 Speaker 1: You know what amused me about that little news anchor 295 00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:30,160 Speaker 1: ettes description of Miami, and it's won two national championships 296 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 1: in its storied history. I'm old enough to remember when 297 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:36,160 Speaker 1: they won those national championships. Their players were famous for 298 00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:39,120 Speaker 1: not only not attending classes, they wouldn't know where the 299 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,640 Speaker 1: campus was. All they knew was the athletic facility, and 300 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:44,680 Speaker 1: they were allowed to get away with rape and other 301 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,600 Speaker 1: felonies as long as they were within one hundred miles 302 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:48,720 Speaker 1: of campus. 303 00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 2: Oh, here's a sports end their storied history. 304 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:52,840 Speaker 1: If you are a sports fan and don't fall in 305 00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:56,000 Speaker 1: college football, watch Indiana. That quarterback from Indiana is a 306 00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,080 Speaker 1: special dude. He is a special dude. He's going to 307 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,640 Speaker 1: be something whether he's a pitch or an NFL star 308 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:02,360 Speaker 1: or whatever. 309 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:03,360 Speaker 2: He is something else. 310 00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:07,119 Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, I wish I could buy stocking him. So 311 00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:09,480 Speaker 1: we got the shooting to talk about. We've covered it 312 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:11,040 Speaker 1: from a couple of different angles. We're going to cover 313 00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:12,800 Speaker 1: it from a couple of different angles coming up. Hope 314 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:16,919 Speaker 1: you can stay with us, Armstrong and Getty. 315 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:22,560 Speaker 4: There's heartbreak and there's rage. Earlier today we saw so 316 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,680 Speaker 4: much anger here to mean, people were screaming at the 317 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,960 Speaker 4: law enforcement here, throwing snowballs at their vehicles as they 318 00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:33,880 Speaker 4: drove away. You know, it is an interesting moment here because, 319 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,000 Speaker 4: like I said, I mean the Minneapolis the police department 320 00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:38,400 Speaker 4: is now reacting to a lot of anger that could 321 00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:39,520 Speaker 4: erupt on their watch. 322 00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:41,360 Speaker 2: We don't, you know, yet. 323 00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:43,280 Speaker 4: Have any suggestion that we are going to see the 324 00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:45,840 Speaker 4: type of reaction to this incident that we saw with 325 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:48,200 Speaker 4: George Floyd. But certainly it's something that the police apartment 326 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:49,160 Speaker 4: is racing for. Yeah. 327 00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:51,040 Speaker 1: I hated a lot of the stuff a lot of 328 00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:53,280 Speaker 1: people said yesterday, including Tim Walls, who I think is 329 00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:54,840 Speaker 1: just a nut job. 330 00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:59,680 Speaker 2: But he did call for calm, which I am happy about. 331 00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:02,440 Speaker 1: I think it was kind of a selfish political thing, 332 00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:05,080 Speaker 1: probably because he didn't want that sort of heat coming 333 00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:07,840 Speaker 1: down on him again like happened during George Floyd when 334 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,800 Speaker 1: he was whipping it up. But he did call for calm. 335 00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:14,240 Speaker 1: His angle on that was don't take the bait because 336 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:16,560 Speaker 1: then they'll send in federal troops and have have a 337 00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:19,600 Speaker 1: reason for it. They actually canceled school today and tomorrow 338 00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:24,280 Speaker 1: there in Minneapolis. Tim Walls either doesn't know what he's 339 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:28,040 Speaker 1: dealing with, or or he's a liar and he's such 340 00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:31,160 Speaker 1: a dope. I suspect he just doesn't know. Here's what 341 00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:35,879 Speaker 1: we are actually looking at. And we spent a good 342 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:41,359 Speaker 1: chunk of our one discussing the legality and illegality of 343 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:45,520 Speaker 1: the shooting of the woman by the Ice office and immorality. 344 00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:47,439 Speaker 1: I gotta throw in this because I could just I 345 00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:49,200 Speaker 1: know how I woid rack to what I just said. 346 00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:53,080 Speaker 1: He called for calm after declaring it was clearly a 347 00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:55,359 Speaker 1: murder by the way I mean that, And it's not 348 00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:58,640 Speaker 1: calling for calm when you clearly when you immediately say 349 00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:01,280 Speaker 1: that was a murder. Yeah, May I have my cake 350 00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:04,800 Speaker 1: and consume it as well? All right, So here's what's 351 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:10,960 Speaker 1: actually happening, and until you learn to recognize this, you 352 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:16,320 Speaker 1: are just completely misunderstated. You're seeing, but you're not comprehending. 353 00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 1: First of all, a disclaimer. What we're seeing is the 354 00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:26,919 Speaker 1: activities of hardcore Marxists who are pursuing specific strategies. The 355 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:31,000 Speaker 1: disclaimer is the hardcore Marxists they're never honest about what 356 00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:33,919 Speaker 1: they're doing and what their strategies are, and that helps 357 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:39,159 Speaker 1: them recruit well meaning, somewhat soft headed, generally emotional people, 358 00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:45,320 Speaker 1: conspicuously frequently female, not exclusively, and certainly there are many 359 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:49,680 Speaker 1: hard thinking, practical, good conservative women in the world. Many 360 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:51,959 Speaker 1: of you are listening right now, and I don't mean 361 00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:55,160 Speaker 1: this to stereotype in any way, but there is absolutely, 362 00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:59,399 Speaker 1: undeniably a pull toward leftist. I care about the little 363 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:03,240 Speaker 1: people causes among women, and the professional Marxists know this, 364 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:05,800 Speaker 1: and they become very very good at exploiting it. Okay, 365 00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:10,920 Speaker 1: So I don't claim every over educated Columbia graduate out 366 00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:14,240 Speaker 1: there shrieking in the snow is a hardcore Marxist. They're 367 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:19,080 Speaker 1: just being used. Here's what I'm talking about. And got 368 00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:21,239 Speaker 1: a great note from DH and San Diego about this, 369 00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:25,719 Speaker 1: and he said that I job have been telling us 370 00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:29,560 Speaker 1: this for years, and I have Marxists are trained to 371 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:34,040 Speaker 1: put you into predicaments you can't win. They're called decision dilemmas. 372 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:38,600 Speaker 1: It's straight out of Slolensky's rules for radicals. You, for instance, 373 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:43,320 Speaker 1: get in someone's face, a cops face, a citizen's face, 374 00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 1: and scream at them, or put your finger within an 375 00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:51,720 Speaker 1: inch of their eye till you provoke a self defense response. Then, 376 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:54,480 Speaker 1: of course you and all of your brethren are videotaping 377 00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,120 Speaker 1: all of this all the time. And once you get 378 00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:00,159 Speaker 1: that response that you are trying to provoke you or 379 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:05,679 Speaker 1: trade is brutality, fascism, police, you know, malfeasans, whatever, and 380 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:07,680 Speaker 1: then you use that to spread your message that look 381 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,560 Speaker 1: at what we're dealing with we're dealing with fascists, and 382 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:15,080 Speaker 1: what the woman was doing all day long was putting 383 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:18,320 Speaker 1: Ice in a decision dilemma. As we're about to hear, 384 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 1: she was doing this all day long the woman who 385 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:26,480 Speaker 1: ended up getting shot. Now, that does not decide the 386 00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:29,160 Speaker 1: question of whether the shooting was legally or morally justified. 387 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:31,200 Speaker 1: I'm putting that aside. I just want you to understand 388 00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:34,959 Speaker 1: the framework of what was happening yesterday in Minneapolis. And 389 00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:37,879 Speaker 1: so it's also that gets away from the portrayal of her. 390 00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:39,840 Speaker 1: She's a thirty seven year old mom in a Honda 391 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:41,920 Speaker 1: pilot who was just trying to get out of the way. 392 00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:44,520 Speaker 1: She was just an observer. No, she absolutely was not 393 00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:47,400 Speaker 1: a quote unquote observer. That's you know, that's a thing, 394 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:49,440 Speaker 1: and she wasn't it. If we have time, we'll get 395 00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:55,679 Speaker 1: to that. But here is a and Michael, where is it? 396 00:21:55,720 --> 00:22:03,399 Speaker 1: I just had it. The clips keep getting rearranged. I 397 00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:07,879 Speaker 1: understand why, Oh there it is, okay, So clip fifty eight, Michael, 398 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:12,080 Speaker 1: this is a witness who is sympathetic towards the woman 399 00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:13,359 Speaker 1: who was shot. 400 00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:17,520 Speaker 5: Politically speaking, it clearly wanted her out of there because 401 00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:22,480 Speaker 5: she was the main car leading the protest, is my understanding. 402 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:24,960 Speaker 5: I talked to another guy who was driving behind her, 403 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:32,679 Speaker 5: but she was very at she was very successful in 404 00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:35,040 Speaker 5: blocking traffic. She was doing what she was what she 405 00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:36,879 Speaker 5: was set out to do, and so they wanted to 406 00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:38,120 Speaker 5: get her the hell out of there. 407 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:44,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, so it looked like she was impeding ice vehicles definitely. 408 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:45,160 Speaker 5: Yeah, that was her goal. 409 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, and then we've got another clip somewhere where it 410 00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:51,440 Speaker 1: makes it clear that she'd been leading this counter protester, 411 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:54,080 Speaker 1: this trying to interfere with the ice all day long 412 00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:58,160 Speaker 1: in blocking traffic. Well, yeah, so you know it has 413 00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:00,520 Speaker 1: to be the decision to limma thing because of wise, 414 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,520 Speaker 1: what would the goal be. You think you're just gonna 415 00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:07,800 Speaker 1: make it so annoying that federal agencies will decide, you 416 00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:10,120 Speaker 1: know what, we won't enforce the law. It's too annoying 417 00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:13,520 Speaker 1: with the way you're blocking traffic. You how do you 418 00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:14,640 Speaker 1: think that's going to throw out? 419 00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:18,040 Speaker 2: Well, that's I think that gets us to where she. 420 00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:25,399 Speaker 1: Was ideologically and and you know, psychologically played forty two Michael. 421 00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:29,280 Speaker 3: Also, last night, thousands of people showed up to a 422 00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:32,560 Speaker 3: vigil for the woman shot and killed. She was identified 423 00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:35,760 Speaker 3: by local leaders as thirty seven year old Renee Good. 424 00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:39,879 Speaker 3: In social media account, she described herself as a poet, writer, 425 00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:42,960 Speaker 3: wife and mom. 426 00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:44,680 Speaker 1: And a crappy guitar player and the rest of it. 427 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:47,080 Speaker 1: And I've heard a couple of people of why she 428 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,360 Speaker 1: literally just she described herself that way. 429 00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:50,439 Speaker 2: Oh okay, But it's. 430 00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:52,399 Speaker 1: Clear from hearing the people who knew her and everything, 431 00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:58,720 Speaker 1: she was a well meaning, soft hearted poet who thought 432 00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:02,320 Speaker 1: she was doing the right thing. God dang it. Yeah, 433 00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:05,400 Speaker 1: you got kids at home, your mom. Don't get involved 434 00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:06,560 Speaker 1: in this at this level. 435 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:10,119 Speaker 2: You know, vote March if you can get a sitter, 436 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:11,640 Speaker 2: but don't, don't do. 437 00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:14,560 Speaker 1: This, you know what. And her wife, who ran to 438 00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:17,400 Speaker 1: the car after the shooting, yelled, oh my god, this 439 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:19,479 Speaker 1: is my fault. This is my fault. I made her 440 00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:24,159 Speaker 1: come down here. Yeah. Anyway, So I think what you 441 00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:26,240 Speaker 1: have here is a soft head who was convinced that 442 00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:29,000 Speaker 1: they were doing the right thing. They were following, whether 443 00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:32,439 Speaker 1: wittingly or unwinning ly, the Salolensky playbook of creating a 444 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:37,679 Speaker 1: decision dilemma and getting so abusive toward and interfering with 445 00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:41,520 Speaker 1: legitimate law enforcement that legitimate law enforcement was put into 446 00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:44,720 Speaker 1: a place where they reacted whether that reaction was lawful 447 00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:48,320 Speaker 1: or not is to be decided by the Justice Department, 448 00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:52,439 Speaker 1: and and that that decision will come. Uh. And we 449 00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:56,040 Speaker 1: got into that fairly specifically in the in the the 450 00:24:56,160 --> 00:25:00,439 Speaker 1: hour one of the show. So I'm not just trying 451 00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:03,360 Speaker 1: to stay down the middle on this to like avoid 452 00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:07,000 Speaker 1: saying anything strongly. I actually believe the mayor and the 453 00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:11,080 Speaker 1: governor shouldn't have said what they said, and know the 454 00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 1: DHS secretary and Trump shouldn't have said what they said, 455 00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:18,320 Speaker 1: especially as soon as they said it. Trump said, the 456 00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:22,200 Speaker 1: deceased violently, wilfully and viciously ran over the ice officer. 457 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:27,199 Speaker 1: That's no, that's unknown. That's possible. Her attention was focused 458 00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:28,800 Speaker 1: on the cop who was at her window and she 459 00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:31,200 Speaker 1: didn't even see the guy. It's possible. No, there's there's 460 00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:33,560 Speaker 1: no need and there's no need at that point in 461 00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:36,040 Speaker 1: the day for him to say that. That's not helpful 462 00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:40,320 Speaker 1: in any way. And then for I was watching ABC 463 00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:45,679 Speaker 1: News to declare it clearly a murder, unjustified murder the 464 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,119 Speaker 1: way they the way they did on ABC News, I 465 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:51,960 Speaker 1: just I don't get it anyway. It's stupid, It's obscenely stupid. 466 00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:55,360 Speaker 1: I'm a friend of the show who's got friends who 467 00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:57,720 Speaker 1: were in ice and who has been in law enforcement 468 00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:02,040 Speaker 1: at the federal level for many years, texted me late 469 00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:05,800 Speaker 1: last night. It's not legal to run surveillance on FED 470 00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:08,120 Speaker 1: agents if they're working, which is what she was doing 471 00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:12,520 Speaker 1: all day long. Earn a bunch of friends confirmed from 472 00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,239 Speaker 1: a friend of mine that she had been doing so 473 00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:18,680 Speaker 1: the entire day. She impeded the operation, which is also illegal. 474 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,680 Speaker 1: There was nothing legal about her observation. The immediate and 475 00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:25,280 Speaker 1: next step is they need to dump her phone and 476 00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:27,800 Speaker 1: identify all the co conspirators she is working with, with 477 00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:30,080 Speaker 1: the likelihood that you know she's involved in some sort 478 00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:33,160 Speaker 1: of group that you know they were organizing the traffic 479 00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:38,000 Speaker 1: to try to stop people from being able to. 480 00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:37,600 Speaker 2: Do what they were doing. 481 00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 1: And again there's an element of play stupid games when 482 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:43,040 Speaker 1: stupid prize is going on here. They pushed it and 483 00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:45,400 Speaker 1: pushed it and pushed it and pushed it and finally 484 00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:48,280 Speaker 1: got the decision dilemma they were looking for. Now again, 485 00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:50,560 Speaker 1: whether the result or is justified or not, we'll have 486 00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:54,359 Speaker 1: to decide, and I would I would caution my she 487 00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:58,400 Speaker 1: got what she had coming brethren. The reason we got 488 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 1: to be careful about this is you don't want to 489 00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:02,680 Speaker 1: live in America where the authorities can shoot you down 490 00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:05,159 Speaker 1: because you're a pain in the ass, because I can 491 00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:09,040 Speaker 1: picture it so easily, less easily now than before Trump 492 00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:10,960 Speaker 1: got in office, but I can picture it so easily. 493 00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:16,439 Speaker 1: Authorities forced to shoot fascists who interfere with serving of 494 00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:21,560 Speaker 1: DEI warrants. You know, they come to take your house 495 00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,520 Speaker 1: or your career or your kids away because you've resisted 496 00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:28,080 Speaker 1: their DEI mandates and you stand up to them and 497 00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:30,280 Speaker 1: get in their way and they shoot you dead. We've 498 00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:32,760 Speaker 1: got to make sure we live in a country where 499 00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:36,120 Speaker 1: that can't happen unless it is according to the letter 500 00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:38,840 Speaker 1: of the law justified. And that's you know, that's my 501 00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,760 Speaker 1: interest in this. If that's out of fashion or uncool 502 00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:45,199 Speaker 1: or makes for bad podcasting, all right. I wonder what 503 00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:47,960 Speaker 1: this would have been like pre cell phone era, when 504 00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:49,880 Speaker 1: everybody had their phones out and so you could see 505 00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:51,919 Speaker 1: it immediately from these different angles and you just have 506 00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:54,840 Speaker 1: the words of people on the street or the cops. 507 00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:56,639 Speaker 1: Not sure it made a heck of a lot of difference, 508 00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,800 Speaker 1: because I mean, the videos are there, and as we 509 00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:04,359 Speaker 1: started the show with the Rorschach test. That is the 510 00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:07,680 Speaker 1: two people look at the video and your priors somehow 511 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:11,199 Speaker 1: affect your brain, because I think people are honestly feeling this. 512 00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:16,480 Speaker 1: Look obviously he got hit by the car, or clearly 513 00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:20,720 Speaker 1: she didn't hit him, and he murdered her though he 514 00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:23,360 Speaker 1: was brushed, she was driving away and there was no 515 00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:26,399 Speaker 1: need to kill her. That's a commonly stated point of view, right, 516 00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:27,919 Speaker 1: And actually that's going to be at the heart of 517 00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:34,680 Speaker 1: the actual legal case. Yeah. Yeah, Well, the legal case, 518 00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,760 Speaker 1: obviously is important. I always tend to think about these 519 00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:40,160 Speaker 1: things politically. It's definitely not good for the country. It's 520 00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:44,720 Speaker 1: yet another dividing us yet an the other side is 521 00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 1: evil and you have to be very, very scared of them. 522 00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:49,160 Speaker 1: We keep going further down that road that is not 523 00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:51,480 Speaker 1: good in any way. I was really disappointed in the 524 00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:55,440 Speaker 1: media coverage. I was amazed how far they were willing 525 00:28:55,520 --> 00:29:01,440 Speaker 1: to go so quickly to this was an unjustified shooting. 526 00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:05,360 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah. I praised Tony Decouple in the new CBS 527 00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:08,360 Speaker 1: News yesterday during the show I watched it last night. 528 00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:11,240 Speaker 1: He was terrible. He was terrible. Not as bad, certainly 529 00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:12,800 Speaker 1: as some of the other networks, but he was just 530 00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:18,200 Speaker 1: very click baity and sensationalistic. I was disappointed quickly before 531 00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:19,840 Speaker 1: we take a break, and I want to talk about 532 00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:23,320 Speaker 1: the Consumer Electronic show at some point more angle squeeze in, 533 00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:27,240 Speaker 1: but go ahead. The first two videos I saw yesterday, 534 00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:30,040 Speaker 1: I didn't have any idea what happened. I had no opinion. Really, 535 00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:32,280 Speaker 1: I couldn't tell what was going on. It was the 536 00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:34,720 Speaker 1: latter video I saw later in the day from a 537 00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:36,240 Speaker 1: different angle, where it looked. 538 00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:39,280 Speaker 2: Clearly like she hit the guy, or she did. 539 00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:40,720 Speaker 1: I didn't know there was I didn't even know there 540 00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:43,600 Speaker 1: was a guy in front of her until later. I 541 00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:45,280 Speaker 1: was focused, like a lot of people on the guy 542 00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:47,560 Speaker 1: at the window at the side of her vehicle. I 543 00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:49,040 Speaker 1: didn't know there was somebody in front of her. That 544 00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:51,440 Speaker 1: that changed everything when I saw that there was somebody 545 00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:55,400 Speaker 1: that he was not contacted. You're wrong, You're wrong. Here's 546 00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:58,200 Speaker 1: Jake Tapp with ilhan Omar and clip number sixty. 547 00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:03,680 Speaker 6: Michael very helpful has been carrying out state sanctioned violence 548 00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:08,240 Speaker 6: in our communities. We have seen them terrorize so many 549 00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:14,200 Speaker 6: of citizens in the fifth District and across Minnesota, and 550 00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:17,960 Speaker 6: that has tragically led to this murder that we all 551 00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:19,440 Speaker 6: watched on TV. 552 00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:24,800 Speaker 1: That's ilan omore whose first loyalty is toward Islam, secondly 553 00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:28,320 Speaker 1: to Somalia, and she hates America. Here's one of her 554 00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:33,840 Speaker 1: brethren in clip number eleven, Somali fella that's coming to American. 555 00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:36,800 Speaker 2: It's coming to day. 556 00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:41,719 Speaker 4: American becoming is to make Americans. 557 00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:47,320 Speaker 1: Okay, Islamic state US is going to become of them. Okay, 558 00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:53,120 Speaker 1: super great. I like the direction this stuff's going. No, 559 00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:55,960 Speaker 1: it's it's bad. And if our leaders are going to 560 00:30:56,000 --> 00:31:00,280 Speaker 1: say the most inflammatory thing they can possibly say, both 561 00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:07,320 Speaker 1: sides immediately. It doesn't help anything. It's a troubling side. God, 562 00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:10,920 Speaker 1: I would say, what's going on in the Consumer Electronics Show? 563 00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:13,440 Speaker 1: A lot of AI stuff and other things. We got 564 00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:16,880 Speaker 1: a couple of the more popular items that have shown 565 00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:18,520 Speaker 1: up we can tell you about coming up, among other 566 00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:19,080 Speaker 1: things they hear. 567 00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:26,960 Speaker 3: And finally, in Michigan, man recently dropped an engagement ring 568 00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,520 Speaker 3: through the grades of a bridge while proposing to his girlfriend. 569 00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:31,880 Speaker 5: On the bright side, he doesn't need it anymore. 570 00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:36,120 Speaker 1: How would that be? 571 00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:38,720 Speaker 2: She's not gonna marry him because he's the kind of 572 00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:39,880 Speaker 2: guy that drops a ring. 573 00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:43,479 Speaker 1: In the accidentally drops something that She's a capricious and 574 00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:45,480 Speaker 1: angry woman and he's better off of that. 575 00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:46,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, I would say so. 576 00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:51,400 Speaker 1: Yeah. Did y'all see the video that I texted to 577 00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:55,640 Speaker 1: the group text about the robot going a little crazy work? Yes, 578 00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:58,840 Speaker 1: Consumer Electronics Show. That happens a lot with your various robots. 579 00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:02,000 Speaker 1: They just start swinging their around and you can't control 580 00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:04,680 Speaker 1: or they get into a situation they're not programmed to 581 00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:07,640 Speaker 1: deal with and somebody's got to undo it for them. Yeah. 582 00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:09,600 Speaker 1: Do you picture I'm going to mention a couple of 583 00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:11,720 Speaker 1: things that they've got the Consumer Electronic Show, which is 584 00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:13,480 Speaker 1: going on in Las Vegas right now. Do you picture 585 00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:15,560 Speaker 1: yourself like having some sort of robot helping you out 586 00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:19,840 Speaker 1: with things in your lifetime? It's not out of the question. 587 00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:23,680 Speaker 1: I don't know, unlikely, I guess. I don't know if 588 00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:26,920 Speaker 1: it could. If it could like do the laundry and 589 00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:29,239 Speaker 1: take it out and fold it and everything like that, 590 00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:31,800 Speaker 1: I would dig that. Well. See, we have a last 591 00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:35,760 Speaker 1: mile problem because we have I have a robot that 592 00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:37,720 Speaker 1: does the laundry, and then I have a different robot 593 00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:39,920 Speaker 1: that dries it, and I have a robot that washes 594 00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:42,480 Speaker 1: my dishes for me. But it's that last mile getting 595 00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:44,800 Speaker 1: it back into the cabinet. Yeah, problem or the right 596 00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:46,880 Speaker 1: you know there are right or whatever, you are right. 597 00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:51,520 Speaker 1: And I also think there's probably some benefit to me 598 00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:55,000 Speaker 1: to doing those kind of things, those kind of activities. 599 00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:59,120 Speaker 1: That reminds me they've they've figured out something about AI 600 00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:03,200 Speaker 1: in the workplace on that very, very level. People who 601 00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:06,800 Speaker 1: are letting AI do the drudgery, they're losing their skills. 602 00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:13,160 Speaker 1: I'm stunned into silence. Well, I was just thinking about 603 00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:15,280 Speaker 1: for some reason, it just popped in my head. What 604 00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:19,280 Speaker 1: is our goal here? To have more free time to 605 00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:24,880 Speaker 1: scroll through our phone? Because that's what most people do anyway? Well, don't. 606 00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:27,920 Speaker 1: So we're trying to free up more time. You don't 607 00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:30,280 Speaker 1: have to mow the lawn anymore, or skim your pool 608 00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:32,440 Speaker 1: or do laundry, so now you can sit on the 609 00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:34,320 Speaker 1: couch longer and scroll through. 610 00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:35,080 Speaker 2: Your phone more. 611 00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:38,680 Speaker 1: Again, I say, don't. Well that's what most people are doing. 612 00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:41,800 Speaker 1: I mean, statistically, it's just true. Yeah, is that what 613 00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:42,560 Speaker 1: we're freeing. 614 00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:45,160 Speaker 2: Up time for? Why? How was that going to make 615 00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:46,520 Speaker 2: anybody's life better? Anyway? 616 00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:48,760 Speaker 1: A couple of the things that they got at the 617 00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:51,840 Speaker 1: Consumer Electronics Show that looked kind of cool. They got 618 00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:57,960 Speaker 1: a wireless robotic lawnmower. It's basically a room but with blades. Yeah, 619 00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:02,800 Speaker 1: what could go wrong to your feet? Stay out of 620 00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:10,280 Speaker 1: the way, huh. Engineered for lawns up to one thousand 621 00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:14,799 Speaker 1: square meters. Okay, fine. It's got the lidar sensor, which 622 00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:17,319 Speaker 1: is kind of what Tesla's into and various stuff. So 623 00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:19,760 Speaker 1: we'll see how that works and if it worked really well, again, 624 00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:21,960 Speaker 1: free up more of your time so you can scroll 625 00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:28,240 Speaker 1: your phone. It's a liger another you said, lidar, different 626 00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:30,239 Speaker 1: sort of cyber more doing the sort of thing, some 627 00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:33,840 Speaker 1: sort of AI computer pool cleaner. I've already got a 628 00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:35,680 Speaker 1: pool cleaner that goes around on its own. I don't know, 629 00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:39,160 Speaker 1: droid this would be better somehow, I guess. I kind 630 00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:41,080 Speaker 1: of like this one though, that Michael printed out for me. 631 00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:44,040 Speaker 1: These glances glasses that you wear all day long that 632 00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:48,880 Speaker 1: adjust throughout the day perfectly for blocking blue light, allowing 633 00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:51,720 Speaker 1: in enough light while you're at work, different for your computer, 634 00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:54,600 Speaker 1: different when you're outside, different in the evening. It just 635 00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:57,320 Speaker 1: adjusts through the day to make sure you're getting exactly 636 00:34:57,360 --> 00:35:00,600 Speaker 1: the right kind of healthiest kind of light to help 637 00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:06,360 Speaker 1: your circadian rhythms. Probably sleep and be alert. And a 638 00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:09,719 Speaker 1: lot of industries seem to think that people are going 639 00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:11,879 Speaker 1: to be willing to wear glasses all day long, even 640 00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:13,960 Speaker 1: people who don't need glasses, and I. 641 00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:14,799 Speaker 2: Don't know if they are. 642 00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:19,040 Speaker 1: I mean, I'll wear glasses anyway, but a lot of 643 00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:20,960 Speaker 1: people don't do they want to wear glasses. I don't know. 644 00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:23,239 Speaker 1: We got more stuff to talk about if you miss 645 00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:25,360 Speaker 1: a segment of the podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand 646 00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:26,680 Speaker 1: arm Strong and Getty
