Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio of the
Speaker 1: George Washington Broadcast Center. Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.
Speaker 2: Armstrong and Jettie and now he Armstrong and Eddy. This
Speaker 2: is step one. We have a long way to go.
Speaker 3: A federal judge in Seattle handing President Trump the first
Speaker 3: court loss of his second presidency, swiftly blocking an executive
Speaker 3: order that would redefine bird citizenship inside a packed courtroom.
Speaker 3: Reagan appointed judge John Kunauer called the president's order blatantly unconstitutional.
Speaker 3: Twenty two states are suing in two separate lawsuits. Trump's
Speaker 3: order would end the practice of giving citizenship to a
Speaker 3: child born in the United States, even if both parents
Speaker 3: are not citizens.
Speaker 2: You are an American if you were born in the
Speaker 2: United States.
Speaker 4: In the Constitution, and we were talking about this the
Speaker 4: other day, should a president our last several presidents have
Speaker 4: done this, be trying to do things that they know
Speaker 4: are unconstitutional. I guess the gray area is if you
Speaker 4: have legal scholars telling you this is constitutional, or the
Speaker 4: Constitution is wrong on this, or the Constitution is being
Speaker 4: misinterpreted on this or something, then you kind of have
Speaker 4: some cover for I'm not being an unconstitutional. It's been misinterpreted.
Speaker 4: Let's have the court interpreted it again. But are there
Speaker 4: constitutional scholars saying this one's wrong or being misinterpreted.
Speaker 1: I don't, you haven't read.
Speaker 5: That's their Yeah, oh yeah, I was just going to say,
Speaker 5: I think David spun It was a good reporter, but
Speaker 5: to say the first judicial defeat of his new administration
Speaker 5: too much. It's like me going to buy a three
Speaker 5: hundred dollars lawnmower and I say, will you take two
Speaker 5: hundred for it?
Speaker 1: And they say that's a little low. Joe Getty is
Speaker 1: endured a lawnmower defeat.
Speaker 5: No, no, no, that's just that's part of the process
Speaker 5: I'm going through. It's yeah, it's highly debatable weather the
Speaker 5: fourteenth Amendment means. What the liberal point of view is
Speaker 5: that absolutely anybody wanders onto the territories of the United
Speaker 5: States and then pop's a kid, that kid's a citizen.
Speaker 1: In talking about this, I just I want everybody.
Speaker 5: To remember what we're trying to fix, and that is
Speaker 5: not necessarily birthright citizenship per se.
Speaker 4: Do you want to make sure the children of slaves
Speaker 4: can be a US citizens and have all the rights
Speaker 4: therefore being a citizen.
Speaker 5: Well you kind of jumped ahead, but yeah, that's absolutely true.
Speaker 5: But no, what we're trying to prevent, aren't we is
Speaker 5: what do they call it a citizenship tourism?
Speaker 1: Yeah, birth tourism. What's the term that people use either
Speaker 1: of those? Yeah, yeah, something like that, where you know,
Speaker 1: you have.
Speaker 5: Chinese nationals often at the behest of hijin ping fly
Speaker 5: to la pop a kid who's a US citizen then
Speaker 5: and can be used as a tool for the communists
Speaker 5: going forward.
Speaker 1: That's the worst of it.
Speaker 4: You're right, hand's an anchor baby. That's another good term,
Speaker 4: which is a different thing. What President she is doing,
Speaker 4: great idea. You got all these Chinese nationals who are
Speaker 4: US citizens, so they can travel in and out and
Speaker 4: around very easily without scrutiny because they're US citizens.
Speaker 1: That's his goal.
Speaker 4: And then the anchor baby thing is we can just
Speaker 4: get a kid born there. Then with the whole chain
Speaker 4: migration thing, we can get you know, fifteen other people aunts, uncles, nephews,
Speaker 4: obviously moms and dads into the country.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 5: And there's just a question of whether the fourteenth Amendment
Speaker 5: ever meant to include anybody who like jumps off a
Speaker 5: boat runs down to the beach in Miami, gives birth,
Speaker 5: and then jumps on a boat and goes back to
Speaker 5: wherever they're from. And to my mind, absolutely not, it
Speaker 5: never meant that. Here's here's the specific verbiage. Fun fact,
Speaker 5: the fourteenth Amendment is five paragraphs long, and it would
Speaker 5: take the next three and a half minutes for me
Speaker 5: to read the entire thing. It's very very long, as
Speaker 5: opposed to the thirteenth Amendment, Slavery Abolished, which I could
Speaker 5: read in about twenty five five seconds.
Speaker 1: Anyway, here's the relevant part.
Speaker 5: All persons born or naturalized in the United States and
Speaker 5: subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United
Speaker 5: States and of the state wherein they reside.
Speaker 1: And there are some people on the right who say.
Speaker 5: Ah, subject to the jurisdiction thereof, that's not illegal.
Speaker 1: Limit. It's an openage, shutcase. It's easy. It's not easy.
Speaker 5: There's a lot of disagreement over to what extent that
Speaker 5: verbiage applies to one thing or another. But so my
Speaker 5: two points are, number One, Trump has begun the process
Speaker 5: of the courts taking a serious look at the fourteenth
Speaker 5: Amendment and what it means, what it was intended to
Speaker 5: mean originally how it's been interpreted the rest of it.
Speaker 1: It's fine's process we have to go through.
Speaker 5: And if it turns out that even the soups say, look,
Speaker 5: it's always meant this that if you pop a baby
Speaker 5: on American soil, the kid's a citizen, and so we're
Speaker 5: going to go with that interpretation, all right, then we
Speaker 5: go through the process of do we want to change that. Now,
Speaker 5: that'd be a long and cumbersome process, but it's begun.
Speaker 4: I don't so I've read some of the pushback from
Speaker 4: people on the right who say, no, no, no, birthright citizenship
Speaker 4: is good and here's why, And a lot of it
Speaker 4: has to do with we need more people, we need
Speaker 4: talented people, touch sid can't we use a different process
Speaker 4: other than birthright citizenship to make those people citizens or
Speaker 4: their children?
Speaker 1: Right? Right?
Speaker 5: And I'm glad you brought that up because that reminded
Speaker 5: me of where I wanted to go with the discussion.
Speaker 5: I think we could very easily. It's a cumbersome process,
Speaker 5: but I think it's very persuasive argument. I'm in the
Speaker 5: Constitution in a way that makes clear if you are
Speaker 5: lawfully here, if we.
Speaker 1: Have invited you.
Speaker 5: If we have said, yeah, you're the sort of person
Speaker 5: we want here, and you have some sort of permanent
Speaker 5: status or even like a semi permanent status, and you
Speaker 5: have a child here, Yeah, okay, that's fine. Kids are
Speaker 5: US citizen Welcome.
Speaker 4: Surely there's got to be some way to have a
Speaker 4: If your parents are staying at the holiday inn and
Speaker 4: you landed on Wednesday and you're gonna fly out the
Speaker 4: next Wednesday, that don't count.
Speaker 5: Right, You've got to have legal status. I don't think
Speaker 5: that's unreasonable at all. Got this note from Todd San
Speaker 5: Diego area. Bah bah bah, how's this case for birthright citizenship?
Speaker 5: It expresses American exceptionalism most are all other countries. Your
Speaker 5: national identity is bound up with your family history. It's
Speaker 5: less true now than it used to be where your
Speaker 5: ancestors lived between this mountain, that river or whatever. America
Speaker 5: isn't about the past, It's about the future. So if
Speaker 5: you start your life here, no matter the circumstances, you're
Speaker 5: an American, dammit.
Speaker 1: I kind of like that idea, he writes. Yeah. And
Speaker 1: the other idea is that.
Speaker 5: It attracts people the sort of people we want to
Speaker 5: the country. It's an enormous gift to say, all right,
Speaker 5: if you come over and make your life here, your
Speaker 5: kids are citizens welcome. But all I require, and all
Speaker 5: people who think like meat require, is that it's done lawfully.
Speaker 6: That's it.
Speaker 1: That's not a huge ask, is it? So?
Speaker 3: Is uh?
Speaker 1: So?
Speaker 4: Is this different Trump doing this and putting it into
Speaker 4: the courts? Do we take another look at this part
Speaker 4: of the Constitution and decide if it needs to be
Speaker 4: tweaked or if it's final way? Is that okay? And
Speaker 4: how is that different from Biden jamming in the school
Speaker 4: loans stuff? Despite that he can't Could Biden make the argument, no, No,
Speaker 4: I think the courts are wrong about the way they
Speaker 4: interpret my power to wipe out kids loans.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he could make that case.
Speaker 5: There are like no legal scholars who thought that was
Speaker 5: going to pass muster of any seriousness. I mean, that
Speaker 5: was just a naked pander to his core. I see
Speaker 5: your point, though there is some overlap in terms of
Speaker 5: the politics of it. But how to interpret the fourteenth
Speaker 5: Amendment is is that is a thing in constant circles.
Speaker 5: That's not crazy to say, hey, the original intent has
Speaker 5: not been followed and the situation has been allowed to
Speaker 5: get wildly out of hand. We need to take a
Speaker 5: serious look at the intent of the fourteenth Amendment.
Speaker 1: But we don't want every president.
Speaker 4: Forcing every rule law part of the Constitution into the
Speaker 4: courts because they want to question it. I'm going to
Speaker 4: shoot my opponent and then we'll get into the courts
Speaker 4: and see if that's okay.
Speaker 1: I argue it is.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, yeah, it's the eye of the beholder thing
Speaker 5: to some extent.
Speaker 1: But I mean Biden was just handing stacks.
Speaker 5: Of cash to his most likely voters at the expense
Speaker 5: of tax payers. It was so nakedly just transactional and corrupt.
Speaker 5: In the rest of it, Trump's saying we got to take.
Speaker 1: A look at the fourteenth Amendment. It's very different in
Speaker 1: my mind.

Speaker 4: Trump is in North Carolina and ignored disaster that occurred
Speaker 4: in Trump Country, and that's part of the reason it
Speaker 4: gets ignored. And you know, La New York are always
Speaker 4: going to get more attention anyway when things happen. But
Speaker 4: Trump's in North Carolina to draw attention to the failure
Speaker 4: of the Biden FEMA administration there. Then he's head of
Speaker 4: the California and there's some great drama around that. If
Speaker 4: you haven't heard about it, I'll meet with Gavin Newsom
Speaker 4: and everything like that. We don't know how this is
Speaker 4: going to play out. We'll have to tell you about that,
Speaker 4: among other things.
Speaker 7: On the way stage, Arm Straw he yetie that urgent
Speaker 7: mid air may day as smoke fills the cockpit and
Speaker 7: cabin of a Cathe Pacific Airlines plane. Passenger video taken
Speaker 7: just minutes after takeoff from Boston's Logan International Monday, showing
Speaker 7: reading lights shining through the thick haze as it quickly
Speaker 7: filled the packed Hong Kong bound aircraft. The pilots forced
Speaker 7: to turn the airbus A three fifty a round in
Speaker 7: the air for nearly an hour, dumping fuel to lighten
Speaker 7: the plane, landing safely back in Boston, the airline saying
Speaker 7: none of the three hundred and two people on.
Speaker 1: Board were hurt. I'm not a new US fly at all.
Speaker 4: Thank God, I do not have that particular phobia, because
Speaker 4: I know people with it and it seems awful but
Speaker 4: cabin fills with smoke so thick I can't see.
Speaker 1: I'm texting loved ones. I'm concerned. Oh my god.
Speaker 5: Indeed I love to breathe, That's one thing I mean.
Speaker 5: And there I am an enclosed space filling with smoke.
Speaker 5: I'm thinking, Oh golly.
Speaker 1: Ty, So I'm exciting.
Speaker 4: Do you mind if I step outside for a moment
Speaker 4: and get some air. I'm excited about the football games
Speaker 4: on sunny. You got your AFC and NFC championships. That's
Speaker 4: how you determine who plays in the super Bowl. Are
Speaker 4: we allowed to say super Bowl?
Speaker 5: Yeah, unless it's for a commercial purpose, a specific commercial purpose.
Speaker 4: This is a for profit enterprise though the Armstrong and
Speaker 4: Getty show. Yeah, it's a freedom of speech in Fairy.
Speaker 4: We haven't been in the black in years. We have
Speaker 4: great business expensives. Joe and I like lots of massages.
Speaker 1: We lost. I'm getting one now. Oh wait, Lobster.
Speaker 4: We fly private back and forth to our homes each
Speaker 4: before and after every show, and we just can't get
Speaker 4: into black for some reason.
Speaker 1: What was I gonna say? Oh?
Speaker 4: So, as a Chiefs fan for forty years, most of
Speaker 4: them being sucky, it has become clear to me that
Speaker 4: they are the most he hated team in America unless
Speaker 4: you are a Chiefs fan, and in particular, people hate
Speaker 4: Patrick Mahomes Now, unless you're a Patrick Mahomes fan. Man, God,
Speaker 4: if you're in Kansas City, you can't walk five feet
Speaker 4: without seeing his face on something for oil changes or
Speaker 4: bars of soap or a charity or whatever. I mean,
Speaker 4: he is like omnipresent in Kansas City.
Speaker 1: But he does get a lot of good calls.
Speaker 4: I don't know if he gets more good calls than
Speaker 4: other people, but that is the way a lot of
Speaker 4: football fans feels.
Speaker 1: The Chiefs get all the calls.
Speaker 4: I don't know why the league would feel like they're
Speaker 4: better off with the medium sized market in the middle
Speaker 4: of the country whining all the Super Bowls weird.
Speaker 5: He theoried an in depth study and then a meta
Speaker 5: study of referees in their attitudes, because everybody's known the
Speaker 5: superstars in the NBA get the calls.
Speaker 1: I mean for the long test time.
Speaker 5: Is that a decision that people make or is there
Speaker 5: some sort of subconscious he's a great basketball player. He
Speaker 5: probably did the right thing there deep in.
Speaker 4: The referee minds, I think, And as you've been pointing
Speaker 4: out forever these are TV shows for profit. They're not
Speaker 4: actually a contest to see which city has the best
Speaker 4: baseball team or basketball team. It's a for profit TV show,
Speaker 4: and you make more money on the TV show with
Speaker 4: the big stars having good games. Just flat out true.
Speaker 4: Having big stars to start with and having them have
Speaker 4: good performances makes you more money. So I've always understood
Speaker 4: why Magic Johnson could run down the lane with My
Speaker 4: dad always used to complain to just put his leg
Speaker 4: up in the air and run people over.
Speaker 1: And there is never a foul gold.
Speaker 4: Any who uh does Patrick Homes get great calls, and
Speaker 4: two Hall of Fame quarterbacks in the last week have
Speaker 4: been pretty outspoken about it. During the broadcast, if you're
Speaker 4: watching the game, Troikman said, he's a runner at this point,
Speaker 4: he's a runner. You got to treat him like a runner.
Speaker 4: He can't treat him like he's a quarterback in the
Speaker 4: pocket and call a personal foul on him because you
Speaker 4: have tackled him. And Tom Brady came out said yesterday
Speaker 4: and said that the NFL has gone way too far
Speaker 4: and that they need to treat quarterbacks like a runner.
Speaker 4: And you as a defensive player need to be able
Speaker 4: to go in there and try to dislodge the ball.
Speaker 4: Tom Prater said, Tom Brady said, you can't blow on
Speaker 4: the guy and get the ball out of his hands.
Speaker 4: You got to hit him with force to knock the
Speaker 4: ball out. And he's a runner at that point. And
Speaker 4: I said, I don't know if they'll change the rules
Speaker 4: or not. I know, just as a casual fan, if
Speaker 4: the star quarterback is injured for the year, that takes
Speaker 4: a lot of the fun out of the game.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, it's hugely damaging to the TV show. But
Speaker 5: I actually think putting the sports aspect of this society
Speaker 5: is a great study in the way rulemaking and human
Speaker 5: beings work and the way you know, mankind interacts with government.
Speaker 5: So they craft this rule that if the quarterback is
Speaker 5: running and he gives himself up he slides feet first,
Speaker 5: you're not allowed to pound him to keep them in
Speaker 5: the game and that sort of thing. And it's true
Speaker 5: of running backs too, but they really enforce it against quarterbacks.
Speaker 1: But quarterbacks quickly realized, Okay.
Speaker 5: I can run till that very last fraction of a
Speaker 5: second where I'm gonna get hit and then quick slide,
Speaker 5: and not only will they Well, you got two possibilities.
Speaker 5: Number one, they don't hit me, or number two, a
Speaker 5: guy is really already physically committed to coming at him,
Speaker 5: it's gonna get called for a costly penalty for hitting him.
Speaker 5: And so they have exploited the quarterbacks quite smartly, exploited
Speaker 5: an unforeseen aspect of enforcing that law.
Speaker 1: Now we've got to recraft the law.
Speaker 4: Brady said, These defensive backs got to run at half
Speaker 4: speed in case the guy all of a sudden darts
Speaker 4: out of bounds or slides, because if you hit him
Speaker 4: because of a quarterback, you get a fifteen yard penalty.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we'll see how that plays out.
Speaker 1: What are we doing here?
Speaker 4: Did you say, Hanson? He said something in my ear? Oh, okay,
Speaker 4: is it love? He loves you. Michelangelo, our normal board
Speaker 4: operator is out for a couple of weeks.
Speaker 1: What did you claim yesterday? Hanson? H for supporting transition.
Speaker 1: That's not actually what's happening. But Michelle will be back
Speaker 1: with us on Monday. I believe we.
Speaker 4: Don't want to be like mister beast. Oh his sidekick
Speaker 4: became a woman, and it really I don't know if
Speaker 4: it hurt him or not. He's still insanely popular and rich.
Speaker 5: His sidekick became a crazy person who liked to dress
Speaker 5: up as a woman. Anyway, I love this from Andrew
Speaker 5: Styles in The Free Bacon. Trump's plan to deport I
Speaker 5: legal immigrants, which is very popular among normal Americans. His
Speaker 5: forced journalists to pretend that they care about federal spending
Speaker 5: in the national debt, many for the first time.
Speaker 1: To pull off this is a quote.
Speaker 5: From the obnoxious, unctious David Muir last scene if you
Speaker 5: remember using clothes pins to make his safety jacket more
Speaker 5: form fitted to show off his physique at the LA fires.
Speaker 1: Eh. Anyway, here's what.
Speaker 5: Mire said to pull off some of what Donald Trump
Speaker 5: would really like to see when it comes to undocumented
Speaker 5: immigrants in the country.
Speaker 1: Is extremely expensive.
Speaker 5: When you're also talking about cutting down government spending, trying
Speaker 5: to bring down the deficit, extending the tax cuts, you're
Speaker 5: going to have to pay for immigration as well. So
Speaker 5: now lefty journalists are tut tutting about government spending.
Speaker 1: It's too much.
Speaker 5: Well, no wonder they have no ratings because they're putts
Speaker 5: is so could they be clown themselves so thoroughly nobody
Speaker 5: can take them seriously.
Speaker 4: So a really interesting soap opera that's going to play
Speaker 4: out today, and we're not exactly sure how it's going
Speaker 4: to go.
Speaker 1: I didn't know this till this morning.
Speaker 4: Trump has not been returning Gavin Newsom's phone calls, perfectly normal,
Speaker 4: legit during the biggest disaster in California history for the governor.
Speaker 4: Try to get ahold of the President about federal aid.
Speaker 4: Trump will call him back. Trump's going to California today
Speaker 4: and the details very interesting.
Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 8: I'm going to fix it, and we're going to fix
Speaker 8: it as fast as you can.
Speaker 1: It's a massive amount of damage.
Speaker 8: FEMA has really let us down, let the country down,
Speaker 8: and I don't know if that's Biden's fault or whose
Speaker 8: fault it is, but we're going to take over and
Speaker 8: we're going to do a good job.
Speaker 4: That's Trump in North Carolina surveying the damage from that
Speaker 4: was a hurricane that caused the mountains to flood.
Speaker 1: Who knew mountains could flood? Well, nobody, craziness.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And here's a little more Trump and we want
Speaker 4: to take care of the people of North Carolina.
Speaker 8: It is so interesting everybody's talking about California and.
Speaker 1: That's a mess.
Speaker 8: But I said, I'm not going to California until I
Speaker 8: stop in North Carolina.
Speaker 1: So here we are.
Speaker 8: We're going to go visit the site, and we're going
Speaker 8: to work with probably three of the congressmen, Republican congressmen
Speaker 8: who've been fantastic whose areas have been affected, and with
Speaker 8: Michael Wattley, the governor, and whoever else is. You know,
Speaker 8: we decide to get involved.
Speaker 4: Okay, So he surveyed some of the damage that still exists,
Speaker 4: and they still struggle in North Carolina. And now he
Speaker 4: is in some building and taking questions. So it'll be
Speaker 4: much later today when he's finally in California. But here's
Speaker 4: the story from Politico. Newso plans to crash Trump's LA
Speaker 4: wildfire visit. The president and the governor have not spoken
Speaker 4: since Trump left office in twenty twenty. I didn't realize that,
Speaker 4: and Newsom claims, and I use the word claim on
Speaker 4: purpose because he might not be being honest here. Newso
Speaker 4: claims that he's been reaching out to Donald Trump, but
Speaker 4: Trump has not returned his phone calls. So he says,
Speaker 4: I look forward to being there on the tarmac to
Speaker 4: thank the President, welcome him. He's gonna just that they
Speaker 4: don't have a planned meeting like usually happens when a
Speaker 4: president goes to a devastated state the governor there, they
Speaker 4: shake hands, they walk around, they hug, they do a.
Speaker 1: Press conference together. Perhaps there's not a plan for that.
Speaker 4: So according to Politico, Newsom's gonna try to force that
Speaker 4: to happen by figuring out where Trump's going to land,
Speaker 4: being there and there you go.
Speaker 5: I just hope this Secret Service doesn't tackle Newsom and
Speaker 5: kneel on his head until they've had a chance to
Speaker 5: search him for weapons.
Speaker 1: Oh did I say? I hope that doesn't. I hope
Speaker 1: that does happen. Sorry, Wow, that'd be jazzy. We're all
Speaker 1: better off. We're all better off. We're all better off,
Speaker 1: and we're working together.
Speaker 4: As political points out, it is a bit of a
Speaker 4: high wire act because if you're a you follow politics
Speaker 4: fairly closely. You know the whole Chris Christie Barack Obama
Speaker 4: story in which Barack Obama showed up in New Jersey
Speaker 4: when Chris Christie was governor and Chris Christy was flying
Speaker 4: high as a Republican presidential candidate prospect at that time,
Speaker 4: but he gave Barack Obama a great big hug and
Speaker 4: other people who wanted to be president just killed him
Speaker 4: for that, and it really hurt his approval.
Speaker 5: You know, I get why intellectually it shouldn't have hurt him,
Speaker 5: but the pictures, yeah, he looked like a child hugging
Speaker 5: his papa. It just it came off wrong. And I'm
Speaker 5: way more pro Chris Christy than a lot of the maga.
Speaker 5: Crown is the obvious thing to do.
Speaker 4: What are you gonna not meet the president when he's
Speaker 4: coming to survey the billions of dollars of damage in
Speaker 4: your state and have a conversation about federal aid.
Speaker 1: I'd be nuts. So I don't know how.
Speaker 4: You're supposed to handle it. But that's why they're talking
Speaker 4: about the high wire actic. Gaven Newsom's god. I mean,
Speaker 4: they just passed legislation this week for fifty billion dollars
Speaker 4: worth of Trump proofing the state of California as Trump
Speaker 4: tries to, you know, hurt immigrants and transgender people and
Speaker 4: our way of our California way of life. Scott Weener said,
Speaker 4: whatever that is, I mean bums and junkies and high taxes,
Speaker 4: indoctrinating little children and mutilating them without their parents' knowledge,
Speaker 4: that's right, and turning junkies loose on the streets and
Speaker 4: arcs of nice neighborhoods.
Speaker 1: That's the California way.
Speaker 5: And they'll spend tens of millions if that's what it
Speaker 5: takes to preserve it.
Speaker 4: But Gavin does want to be the leader of the resistance,
Speaker 4: and he's working hard on that since day one.
Speaker 1: He can't How would you go ahead? Sorry?
Speaker 4: Can he come out and shake hands with Donald Trump
Speaker 4: and smile and laugh in that pictures without Kamala Harris
Speaker 4: or Josh Shapiro or whoever is going to be running
Speaker 4: against him saying, look at him shaking hands with Donald Trump.
Speaker 5: We don't want that, do we. I jumped into early
Speaker 5: shaking hands with him. Absolutely, one hundred percent. He can
Speaker 5: get away with a tongue kiss smiling and jack Oh no, no,
Speaker 5: no tongue smiling and laughing and backslapping and tongue kissing.
Speaker 8: No.
Speaker 5: Absolutely, not an air kiss like Trump gave Melania because
Speaker 5: of her big hat the other day.
Speaker 1: At best.
Speaker 5: No, he's you didn't like him, you know, I hope
Speaker 5: you know. Gavin Newsom is tackled and taste, as I've
Speaker 5: made clear. How would you suggest Trump handle.
Speaker 4: It like a grown up. I think he uh, he
Speaker 4: calls Jusimon. Yeah, I think he calls Newsom on the
Speaker 4: way to California. They have a discussion, they meet, they
Speaker 4: walk around, the shake hands. They look concerned at the
Speaker 4: fire damage, and you would be concerned if you're looking
Speaker 4: at it.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think he should have handled like a normal president.
Speaker 5: You don't think he should call him now scum and
Speaker 5: reach out and tweak his here.
Speaker 4: Hey say something, you got something on your shirt? Hit
Speaker 4: him in the chin. Well, first of all, he's not
Speaker 4: gonna have run against Gavin Newsom, so the news was
Speaker 4: a threat to him.
Speaker 1: I just whatever, buzzing fly is the way I would
Speaker 1: treat him.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I think I think he goes with statesmen
Speaker 5: like But we'll see. I can't wait to watch it live.
Speaker 5: I've cleared all of my appointments. I have no appointments.
Speaker 5: I've told all my friends who wanted to nobody wanted
Speaker 5: to do anything.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna watched some news like a sad loser. Oh
Speaker 4: that is funny. No, there's no risk in it for Trump.
Speaker 4: That's why he should be a statesman. There is risking
Speaker 4: it for Gavin. I mean, haven't seen the way Chris
Speaker 4: Christie got treated. So he's got to got to not
Speaker 4: go too far. He's got to at least some point,
Speaker 4: look some phrase or facial expression to show I'm we'll
Speaker 4: take the federal hoet, but I'm not happy it's coming
Speaker 4: from you. That's the vibe he's got to give off somehow.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, serious and grim one hundred percent. Oh yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 4: The journal mentions that.
Speaker 5: Gavin is toned down his anti Trump rhetoric for now
Speaker 5: post to the beginning of the wildfires.
Speaker 1: It's cause he's kind of soft pedaled his.
Speaker 6: Whole I'm the brave leader of the resistance. Trump is
Speaker 6: a fascist. He's just like Hitler, and I'm gonna save
Speaker 6: you from the new Hitler. Yeah, he's kind of toned
Speaker 6: that down as he's going to be begging for federal
Speaker 6: money on bended knee, although you know, I shouldn't characterize
Speaker 6: it that way. He is going to say, hey, this
Speaker 6: is the sort of giant disaster that federal money comes to.
Speaker 1: You know, we need it, which is appropriate. He should
Speaker 1: do that. As the governor.
Speaker 4: News out to the Mayor of Los Angeles Karen Bass
Speaker 4: her brother's house burnt down in the Spic Palisades area.
Speaker 4: He might be getting on the phone with his sister
Speaker 4: and saying, hey, Sis, just a question for you. How
Speaker 4: come the fire hydroans didn't have any water? And what's
Speaker 4: going on there?
Speaker 5: To be a brother, don't vote for DEEI love and communists.
Speaker 5: You'll have better city leadership. That'd be my suggestion. What's
Speaker 5: the deal with that there's no water in the fire hydrants?
Speaker 5: It seems weird?
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Oh hey, speaking of one more California note, a tip
Speaker 5: of the CAF to Huntington Beach. The city council just
Speaker 5: voted unanimously to be a non sanctuary city.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I have a friend who lives in the HB as
Speaker 4: they call it, and yeah, that's cool.
Speaker 5: And there are a number of other city councils who
Speaker 5: are planning to do the very same thing. I would
Speaker 5: love to see that gain some steam before we take
Speaker 5: a break. I just saw this. This is kind of
Speaker 5: funny making their rounds on social media. I guess did
Speaker 5: you call this a meme? Is it a meme or
Speaker 5: is it just a joke? I think it's just an anyway.
Speaker 4: You know how you see those billboards with ambulance chasing
Speaker 4: lawyers on them.
Speaker 1: Sure have you been a number one category of billboards
Speaker 1: in America? By far?
Speaker 5: Is it for real or just your observation? Oh that's
Speaker 5: my observation. But I'm certain I'm right.
Speaker 1: Been in a motorcycle wreck? Are you getting what you deserve?
Speaker 1: Call me? Yeah? Maybe I look a little sleazy, right? Uh? Well,
Speaker 1: we gotta have a theme, though, what's the general? You
Speaker 1: got to have? Like a rhyme or a you know
Speaker 1: why they should call you? You gotta have a theme.
Speaker 4: There's one I see in the way all the way
Speaker 4: home every single day. It might be the motorcycle one,
Speaker 4: but it's something you know, rear ended in a wreck.
Speaker 4: Make sure you get what you deserve. But anyway, it's
Speaker 4: this incredibly attractive blonde woman dressed in a incredibly alluring way.
Speaker 4: And I think how many dudes have called that number
Speaker 4: thinking they're actually going to have a meeting with her?
Speaker 1: Never see her? One? That's weak, that's weak. But anyway,
Speaker 1: here's what I'm trying to remember.
Speaker 5: There's one don't howl call o'dowell or something like that
Speaker 5: is this guy's theme.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to remember some of them I've seen.
Speaker 5: Hot chicks are a big thing, though, I mean, like
Speaker 5: a really good looking at a lawyer.
Speaker 1: Lady just absolutely plays that up.
Speaker 5: And I tell you what, if you're the sort of
Speaker 5: guy who would think, let's see, I got a settlement coming,
Speaker 5: I'm gonna.
Speaker 4: Go with a hot chick. You go ahead and call them,
Speaker 4: or I've been in a car wreck. But you know what,
Speaker 4: it'd be cool if I get a date with her.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I tell you what.
Speaker 5: That'll clear the phone lines over at the fat, homely
Speaker 5: guy who's done a thousand of these, and it's gonna
Speaker 5: help me out.
Speaker 1: So that's fine.
Speaker 4: Yea, yes, And oh there's a couple of them that
Speaker 4: I see, but one of them is something wrong.
Speaker 1: Call and pong, that's one of them.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you can tell attorney if they can rhyme.
Speaker 4: What's the kind a term for I said, ambulance chasing lawyers.
Speaker 4: What's the kind term trial? Personal injury? Yeah, personal injury attorneys?
Speaker 4: So this is a fake personal injury attorney.
Speaker 1: Ad.
Speaker 4: It's a dog in a suit with reading glasses on.
Speaker 4: So it's a dog's head with reading glasses in a suit.
Speaker 4: You got a talking dog in a hot shake. I'm
Speaker 4: still going with the hot shake, but I'm tempted to
Speaker 4: call the dog anyway back to you and the merbiage
Speaker 4: on this sign for the trial attorney personal injury, trial attorney,
Speaker 4: who's a dog? Did your human break a treat in
Speaker 4: half and try to pass it off as a whole treat?
Speaker 1: You may be entitled to compensation. Yeah, I saw that.
Speaker 1: It's great. Okay, we got more on the way. Stay here. Well,
Speaker 1: this is exciting.
Speaker 9: Today the nominations were announced for the ninety seventh Oscars.
Speaker 9: That was great, and Wicked was nominated for his Best Picture. Yeah,
Speaker 9: people have heard, were like, yes, the movie we've actually seen.
Speaker 8: This is.
Speaker 9: The movie I'm still here was nominated for Best Picture.
Speaker 9: There's a film about Joe Biden's last six months in office.
Speaker 9: Hey o, hello, Hello.
Speaker 1: So I like movies, Fine, I don't love them.
Speaker 4: And I really realized with a couple of different friends
Speaker 4: that I've known in my life, there is that movie
Speaker 4: crowd that like they just always what is the you
Speaker 4: go to a movie every weekend or watch a movie
Speaker 4: every weekend?
Speaker 1: What is the hot movie? You talk about them?
Speaker 3: What?
Speaker 4: And I am not that person at all. I don't
Speaker 4: find them to be that important to my life, not
Speaker 4: even close. And so I used to love the Oscars.
Speaker 4: And then you know a lot of us have bailed
Speaker 4: on the whole Oscar thing for all kinds of different reasons.
Speaker 4: And when they started not eating eleven different pictures, you
Speaker 4: can't keep track of them in your head. And then
Speaker 4: they got two woke to this point. What movie got
Speaker 4: the most? And this is kills This finally, this is
Speaker 4: the last nail in the coffin for the Oscars. For me,
Speaker 4: what movie got the most nominations, leading the entire pack
Speaker 4: with thirteen nominations?
Speaker 1: It is Amelia Perez?
Speaker 4: What is that movie about a Mexican lawyer has offered
Speaker 4: an unusual job to help a notorious cartel boss retire
Speaker 4: and transition to living as a woman, fulfilling a long
Speaker 4: held desire. So the movie they got the most nominations
Speaker 4: is a trans movie?
Speaker 1: What a shot? What a coincidence, What.
Speaker 4: An amazing coincidence that at a time when trans stuff
Speaker 4: is so controversial and Trump's in office, that the movie
Speaker 4: that's positive about trans got the most nomination.
Speaker 1: That's just that's.
Speaker 4: Crazy, mind blowing. Oh give me a freaking break. Might
Speaker 4: I might have to watch the Oscar ceremony, just like
Speaker 4: to hate it? The never ending them crying about how
Speaker 4: wonderful it is that that movie is out in this
Speaker 4: tough time when the Trump administration is coming out with
Speaker 4: their anti trans policies or whatever bs they're gonna say
Speaker 4: on Oscar.
Speaker 1: Night, it's gonna be something.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, it will be the last nail in the
Speaker 4: Oscar coffin. It will be the end of it.
Speaker 1: I hate you for this, though, You've made me kind
Speaker 1: of want to tune in. I know, I know it's
Speaker 1: gonna be.
Speaker 5: To say I'm not into it, it's just a gross understatement.
Speaker 5: It's like saying I'm not into the DEI Executive of
Speaker 5: the Year awards. No, I'm forcefully against it. It disgusts me.
Speaker 5: But that is tempting because they could go full on
Speaker 5: and much like the bigfoot media, the legacy media CNN
Speaker 5: that's lost like eighty percent of its viewers, laying off
Speaker 5: hundreds of people, it's aggressively trying to root out anybody
Speaker 5: who's making any serious money there. They displayed who they
Speaker 5: truly were in the senile Joe Biden era, denying up
Speaker 5: and down that he was and saying it was a
Speaker 5: Republican talking point and a cheap fake or whatever.
Speaker 1: And they oh, and telling.
Speaker 5: People Igno the evidence of your eyes, and he is
Speaker 5: there is no inflation here. These are not the droids
Speaker 5: you're looking for. You can easily afford your groceries. And
Speaker 5: they lost America. Maybe the final like you said, the
Speaker 5: final nail in Hollywood's coffin, which in my graveyard is
Speaker 5: already six feet under and the back hoe is filled
Speaker 5: in the grave. It doesn't need any more nails. But anyway,
Speaker 5: maybe it'll do that. I would certainly love that.
Speaker 4: Amelia Perez leads with thirteen nominations in the Oscar Race.
Speaker 4: How self congratulatory will they be that night?
Speaker 1: Oh my god, it's just gonna be vomitous.
Speaker 5: So I really wanted to get this hour to the
Speaker 5: true cost of pet ownership.
Speaker 1: We'll do that next hour.
Speaker 5: If you don't get next hour, subscribe to the podcast
Speaker 5: Armstrong and Getting on demand.
Speaker 1: I have strong feelings about pet ownership.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, we can talk about it. I want to
Speaker 5: sweep an obsession in this country. Uh yeah, oh yeah,
Speaker 5: enormously profitable. But more on that to come. A couple
Speaker 5: of things I want to squeeze in just because they
Speaker 5: have to be mentioned, even though they're out of town.
Speaker 5: The Department of Energy, in one of its final actions
Speaker 5: under President Joe Biden, earmarked billions of dollars in green
Speaker 5: energy loans to utility companies based in Energy Secretary Jennifer
Speaker 5: Granholmes state home state of Michigan, defying the agency's own
Speaker 5: inspector General, who called on the Biden administration is to
Speaker 5: spend the loan program amidst serious conflict of interest concerns.
Speaker 1: But they spent Mitchelle Granholm.
Speaker 5: Jennifer Granholm spent those billions dollars in her home state
Speaker 5: even as she went back to become a politician in
Speaker 5: that state. Again, utterly unethical, and I wanted to throw
Speaker 5: this in this educational think tank put out Biden's Department
Speaker 5: of Justice spent over one hundred million dollars in four
Speaker 5: years for restorative justice DEI efforts for k through twelve students.
Speaker 5: And you can talk about restorative justice with more authority
Speaker 5: than I can.
Speaker 1: I've read about it, You've lived it.
Speaker 5: This this bizarre neo Marxist method of justice and schools
Speaker 5: where if one kid punches an innocent, smaller kid in
Speaker 5: the face, they both have to sit down and talk
Speaker 5: about how they felt about it, and then there's no
Speaker 5: punishment for the bully.
Speaker 4: Nope, it is, as I've called it, the Golden Age
Speaker 4: of bullying, even though you hear more anti bullying messages
Speaker 4: than ever.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, And keep in mind that a lot of these
Speaker 5: funding mechanisms are used. As you know, levers, you're not
Speaker 5: going to get the money you're counting on unless you
Speaker 5: do this. They divvied up at least thirty grants that
Speaker 5: explicitly mentioned DEI or staying an intention to approve outcomes
Speaker 5: for specific demographic groups. Another recent report detailed how the
Speaker 5: US Department of Education alone has spent nearly a billion
Speaker 5: dollars to promote DEI in schools all over the country
Speaker 5: to indoctrinate the kids. I'm glad it's over. I wish
Speaker 5: you could ended sooner.
Speaker 4: Imagine if we'd have gone another four, eight, twelve years
Speaker 4: down that road.
Speaker 5: Oh, thank goodness we didn't. Four years is not going
Speaker 5: to be nearly enough to clean the house. Though. Imagine
Speaker 5: if the movie that got the most nominations was an
Speaker 5: Orange real estate developer who believes in borders and lower.
Speaker 1: Texas I was worshiped as a hero in the movie.
Speaker 1: That wouldn't be more.
Speaker 4: Oh my God, you've got to be kidding me than
Speaker 4: this No No happens to.
Speaker 5: Be the best movie made anywhere on Earth this year. Right,
Speaker 5: Isn't that inspiring? Oh my god, oh boy. We've got
