Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.
Speaker 2: Arm Strong and get Katy and He Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 3: High school basketball coach in New York State was fired
Speaker 3: Friday night for shocking behavior after his team lost a
Speaker 3: state championship game, and NFHS Network livestream shows Northfield Girls
Speaker 3: head coach Jim Zulo yanking the ponytail of one of
Speaker 3: his players.
Speaker 2: Zulo, who is eighty.
Speaker 3: One years old, told our Albany station wtean the player
Speaker 3: had cursed him after he told her to shake hands
Speaker 3: with the other team. Police are now looking into whether
Speaker 3: charges should be brought.
Speaker 4: Not pro ponytail yanking, but that detail at the end
Speaker 4: I was unaware of. So they lost the state championship
Speaker 4: and one of his players wouldn't shake hands with the
Speaker 4: other team. You don't get to yank her pullytail. But
Speaker 4: that's not cool, No, no sportsmanship?
Speaker 1: Yeah you have, if that's true, you have. Well she
Speaker 1: cursed him when he said, hey, we got to shake
Speaker 1: their hands.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. You can't curse the coach, especially
Speaker 2: over that. Katie. You saw the video.
Speaker 4: I saw the video. Oh you saw the video. I
Speaker 4: knew somebody saw the video. How hard does he yank
Speaker 4: the ponytail?
Speaker 2: Hard? Hard enough to be wildly inappropriate? Yeah? Her whole
Speaker 2: body jolted back when he did that.
Speaker 1: So you have two people doing bad things. But as
Speaker 1: a coach, a probably you know, half crazed old man
Speaker 1: who's lost.
Speaker 2: Control of himself. You need to be out of coaching.
Speaker 2: Eighty two.
Speaker 1: If indeed it's all true, the kid was way out
Speaker 1: of line. Kids these days, modern children, blah blah blah,
Speaker 1: very bad, and he needs to.
Speaker 2: Be out of coaching. Both are true.
Speaker 1: So it occurs to me, Michael, do we have like
Speaker 1: a didn't we used to have a theme for like
Speaker 1: a California update or something? I know we've got California's crumbling,
Speaker 1: but didn't we have something like with the B Boys
Speaker 1: or can't even remember? You just have metal guy in
Speaker 1: California's crumbling. Ready, Well, we'll ease into it with this
Speaker 1: clip of Bill Maher and Ezra Cline, the insufferably lefty
Speaker 1: journalist behind vox.
Speaker 2: Is that what he started up anyway? Yeah? But yeah,
Speaker 2: he's a big columnist for the New York Times.
Speaker 1: Now yeah, yeah, Okay, good for him, but that is
Speaker 1: what he's doing these days.
Speaker 2: I thought this was an interesting exchange California. Nicebeed rail.
Speaker 5: It's a huge disaster, but nobody's ever done anything about it.
Speaker 5: If you tried to build it again, it would go
Speaker 5: the exact same way.
Speaker 6: I think we first passed it in two thousand and eight.
Speaker 6: I think they just voted about something about it again.
Speaker 6: It's projective. Just give up just to just to just
Speaker 6: to build I think from Bakersfield to Merced.
Speaker 2: Who the hell wants to go from Bakersfield to me
Speaker 2: when they couldn't do that, and.
Speaker 5: The people building it were perfectly clear with me, Look,
Speaker 5: this doesn't work if we don't do it La to
Speaker 5: San Francisco, and they don't have the money to do
Speaker 5: La de San Francisco, and they don't have the regulatory
Speaker 5: structure to do it. They have been clearing They started
Speaker 5: clearing the rail track through environmental review. The whole point
Speaker 5: of high speed rails it's good for the environment, right.
Speaker 5: They started clearing it through environmental review in twenty twelve.
Speaker 5: By the end of twenty twenty four, it was almost done.
Speaker 5: Their reviews were almost done. And the thing that bothers
Speaker 5: me about it, and we didn't get high speed rail
Speaker 5: is they didn't change it right, Okay, huge failure. Learn something,
Speaker 5: make it so it won't happen again.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: When Ezra Kleine is saying this has gotten off the rails,
Speaker 2: for your pardon expression, it is really off the rails.
Speaker 1: There isn't a sane defense for it. I have not heard,
Speaker 1: and I'm racking my memory because I want to be
Speaker 1: I want to be accurate about this. I don't think
Speaker 1: I have heard a single person advocating for the so
Speaker 1: called high speed rail project who is not personally profiting
Speaker 1: from it for a very very long time.
Speaker 4: Well, I would like to say somebody mark this down
Speaker 4: years from now, when it's still being built and billions
Speaker 4: of dollars a taxpayer dollars are still being poured into it.
Speaker 4: That we played this clip today where Bill mahern as recline,
Speaker 4: we're mocking the idea that it continues. I'd be shocked
Speaker 4: if two years from now, for instance, they're still not
Speaker 4: pouring billions of dollars into it.
Speaker 1: You know, it's funny. I'll give you a glimpse into
Speaker 1: my psyche right now, not the scary part.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know.
Speaker 1: The fairly normal part. And I'm talking to the good
Speaker 1: folks now, I am. I'm feeling like it's almost silly
Speaker 1: to be indicting the high speed rail because it's a
Speaker 1: one inch pot. I mean, it's it doesn't need to
Speaker 1: be indicted anymore. It is universally recognized as a boondoggle,
Speaker 1: a failure, a rip off.
Speaker 2: And a fraud. And it continues. See that's the weird
Speaker 2: judgema position. It's also continuing to squander billions of dollars.
Speaker 2: You at a very high rate of expenditure.
Speaker 4: I would like to know where it ranks on a daily, monthly,
Speaker 4: yearly basis on terms of things we spend money on
Speaker 4: in the state.
Speaker 1: It'd be pretty eye up there. It's gotta be right,
Speaker 1: oh yeah yeah. And I said billions, it's tens of
Speaker 1: billions of dollars. It's just it shocks the conscience.
Speaker 2: Anyway, there's no point in belaboring it.
Speaker 1: Everybody listening agrees, we agree, as re client agrees, and
Speaker 1: yet it continues. It's a good point, metal guy and
Speaker 1: well said, So I got a little excited. I saw
Speaker 1: this on the Twitter that there is now forty eight
Speaker 1: percent of the California electorate open to a Republican governor
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty six forty eight percent. But I mean
Speaker 1: you would need every single one of those voters, you know,
Speaker 1: if turnout is more or less normal, and you would
Speaker 1: still lose because you only have forty eight percent that's
Speaker 1: even open to Republicans. So I have put my excitement
Speaker 1: back on the shelf.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's your excitement should be on the shelf, and
Speaker 4: like can be in front of the container of flour,
Speaker 4: because it's going to be a while before we needed
Speaker 4: your optimism again.
Speaker 1: I mean, because like way up high and back, like
Speaker 1: that giant stock pot you only use to build to
Speaker 1: make like chili for the opening.
Speaker 2: Day of the football season once a year.
Speaker 4: Ye, store it back there, your optimism, right, the little
Speaker 4: metal things for punching out Christmas cookies you can put
Speaker 4: back with those.
Speaker 2: That's going to be a while before you need it.
Speaker 4: Because if the generic candidate doesn't get to fifty percent,
Speaker 4: because the generic candidate always does better than a real candidate,
Speaker 4: because real candidates have flaws and personalities. If you're not
Speaker 4: even out into a generic in your mind perfect situation.
Speaker 2: Up to fifty percent, there's no chance.
Speaker 1: Right, So I thought this was so interesting on a
Speaker 1: similar theme, and who am I quoting here?
Speaker 2: Credit where it's to?
Speaker 1: Oh it's Wall Street Journal, Tale of two jobs and
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Tale of two states on job creation. Democrats
Speaker 1: are slowly waking up to the fact that migration from
Speaker 1: blue to red states could become a political problem for
Speaker 1: winning the House of Representatives, which I thought was very
Speaker 1: interesting because people are self segregating seems so negative. Many
Speaker 1: people who can and that's an important caveat, are going
Speaker 1: places they feel more welcomed and happy in living under
Speaker 1: governance that they like. And it's going to get worse.
Speaker 1: Judging about the Labor Department's latest state jobs report, excuse me,
Speaker 1: which shows that California lost jobs in nearly every industry
Speaker 1: in the year.
Speaker 2: Before Trump took office.
Speaker 1: The Bureau of Labor Statistics last week released annual revised
Speaker 1: jobs numbers for states based on more complete data.
Speaker 2: Did you hear about this at all?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 2: No, I didn't either anyway.
Speaker 1: California gained a net twenty two four hundred jobs from
Speaker 1: January twenty four to January twenty five. All of the
Speaker 1: net new jobs were in government wow and healthcare, social assistance,
Speaker 1: and private often higher education. Which relied to a large
Speaker 1: extent on government funding, and there were big losses in construction, manufacturing,
Speaker 1: information finance, professional and business services, leisure and hospitality, retail.
Speaker 1: The growth was government and those other areas that I
Speaker 1: was talking about. Private businesses shed jobs in the year,
Speaker 1: including almost twenty nine thousand lesson construction UH thirty three
Speaker 1: four fewer in manufacturing, and go on on tens of
Speaker 1: thousands in various industries. Some job results are results of
Speaker 1: small businesses closing because of high taxes and other costs.
Speaker 1: These include California's sixteen to fifty an hour minimum wage
Speaker 1: twenty dollars for some freaking reason. For fast food restaurants, well,
Speaker 1: that's because the SEIU wanted to unionize them and the
Speaker 1: state's private Attorneys General Act. Let's try lawyers extort small
Speaker 1: businesses by filing dubious lawsuits for alleged labor violations. It's
Speaker 1: just like the wheelchair Nazis thing, but it's labor violation Nazis.
Speaker 1: Most businesses pay off the attorneys in settlements because defending
Speaker 1: against the lawsuits, frivolous though they may be, would cost
Speaker 1: even more. Then you've got large companies relocating workers to
Speaker 1: lower and tax lower tax and cost states. Texas during
Speaker 1: the same period added one hundred and eighty eight thousand
Speaker 1: in a year, with gains spanning all industries, including twenty
Speaker 1: thousand more in construction wow, forty two hundred more in manufacturing, information,
Speaker 1: nineteen thousand more in finance, professional business services another twenty thousand,
Speaker 1: leisure and hospitality eleven three, retail fourteen thousand.
Speaker 2: So not Loan's government and healthcare.
Speaker 1: No, the lone star state only added about a quarter
Speaker 1: as many jobs in healthcare, social assistance, and private education
Speaker 1: as California. Texas spent about fifty billion dollars on health
Speaker 1: and human services compared to California's two hundred and twenty eight.
Speaker 4: Oh my god, those statistics are unbelievable, Katie.
Speaker 1: Can you come up with the populations of California and Texas?
Speaker 1: I mean, because Texas has less population, but that is
Speaker 1: almost it's just over a fifth.
Speaker 4: To guess, I'm gonna guess California is what thirty four
Speaker 4: to go with? I think it's close to forty Okay.
Speaker 2: But it's your guest. Look at me hoarding in on
Speaker 2: your guests. What an idiot? Sorry? And then Texas, I'm
Speaker 2: going with twenty seven. Okay, we thirty nine, and I
Speaker 2: like your twenty seven. Okay, thirty nine point four. Okay,
Speaker 2: you're definitely run in California. So we got forty million
Speaker 2: people in California, holy cow, and Texas thirty one point two.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, all right, so three quarters as many people, roughly,
Speaker 1: and again, Texas spent fifty billion dollars on health and
Speaker 1: human services, California two hundred and twenty eight billion dollars.
Speaker 4: Well, on the other numbers, though, jobs added, it works
Speaker 4: in reverse. It's amazing that Texas, with three quarters of
Speaker 4: the population, added that many more jobs than California did.
Speaker 2: Yeah, indeed.
Speaker 1: And and they mentioned in the Wall Street Journal a
Speaker 1: point that I've been trying to hammer home for years.
Speaker 2: But now let's do Rhode Island in Connecticut. Ah, that'll
Speaker 2: be fun.
Speaker 1: And this is wasted breath, and I shouldn't bother. But
Speaker 1: California's economy, well, this is one preliminary point than to
Speaker 1: the thing I ammer all the time. California's economy is
Speaker 1: also becoming more dependent on government spending, including federal funds,
Speaker 1: which total one hundred and sixty two billion dollars last year,
Speaker 1: stock market corrections slow down federal funding could open big
Speaker 1: gaping budget deficits that might force cuts and government spending layoffs.
Speaker 1: And certainly the coming pension crisis will arrive all the sooner.
Speaker 4: Right, So it's a perpetual motion machine if it weren't
Speaker 4: for one thing, to where all the growth is in
Speaker 4: government and government expenditures, and you just keep going. The
Speaker 4: problem is the classic problem always with socialism. Pretty soon
Speaker 4: you run out of other people's money. The people that
Speaker 4: are paying for this are realizing I'm not paying for
Speaker 4: this perpetual motion machine anymore.
Speaker 2: I'm moving somewhere else.
Speaker 1: And then here's the same old song you hear from me,
Speaker 1: and I'll keep it brief. Wall Street Journal Editorial Board
Speaker 1: points out that one problem for Democrats and Sacramento is
Speaker 1: that the progressive tax regime, the effective top marginal rate
Speaker 1: of fourteen and a half percent, has made the state
Speaker 1: budget increasingly dependent on high earners, whose incomes are vulable volatile. Rather,
Speaker 1: the top one percent of earners contribute about half of
Speaker 1: the state's income tax revenue. Wow, And not only is
Speaker 1: it incredibly volatile, so you can't count on studying numbers
Speaker 1: for budgeting purposes. But as I've said many times, if
Speaker 1: you narrow the tax base that much, those who pay
Speaker 1: for the waste will never have enough votes to end
Speaker 1: the graft and waste. And that is what Gavin Newsom
Speaker 1: and the Democrats and the unions and the trial lawyers
Speaker 1: are counting on. And it's a great scam. It's very successful.
Speaker 1: I congratulate them on their evil and their cleverness.
Speaker 4: Well, and every time that one percent that's paying half
Speaker 4: decides to get a new zip code that's in a
Speaker 4: different state, that's a huge blow.
Speaker 2: We got a lot more on the waist here, car heyey.
Speaker 4: Starting with on March twenty ninth, It's my birthday and
Speaker 4: all I want to see happen on my birthday is
Speaker 4: for ELI to.
Speaker 2: Be taken down.
Speaker 4: Yet that's a representative Jasmine Crockett. Apparently there's an attempt
Speaker 4: to organize some sort of Tesla boycott for Fry.
Speaker 2: What would that be.
Speaker 4: I mean, you don't buy a car very often, so
Speaker 4: I've boycotted every car maker there is for the past.
Speaker 2: Three years for instance.
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, I'm sure they'll have exciting rallies where they
Speaker 1: chant stuff and wave placards or something.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 4: I might be getting a different tesla. It'd be awesome
Speaker 4: if it happened to coincide with that day. I would
Speaker 4: love to drive it off the lot and day everybody's protesting.
Speaker 4: I saw an op ed in a New York Times,
Speaker 4: some ridiculous thing about, uh is it okay to buy
Speaker 4: a test?
Speaker 7: Now?
Speaker 2: You know that sort of thing? Oh lord, that's whatever.
Speaker 1: Anyway, people losing all the elections, you're noxious.
Speaker 2: Attorney General BONDI said this about Crockett.
Speaker 8: This is domestic terrorism and Maria. Now you have this
Speaker 8: congresswoman Crockett who is calling for attacks on Elon Musk
Speaker 8: on her birthday. Let's take him out on my birthday,
Speaker 8: she says. Yet she turns and says, oh, I'm not
Speaker 8: calling for violence. Well, she is an elected public official,
Speaker 8: and so she needs to tread very carefully because nothing
Speaker 8: will happen to Elon Musk.
Speaker 2: Rocket it's almost an abbreviation for kroc oh it is.
Speaker 4: I want to get this on. It's kind of funny.
Speaker 4: This is from Donald Trump's Twitter feed. Came out today.
Speaker 4: Nobody likes a bad picture or painting of themselves. I've
Speaker 4: never had a painting on myself, but the one in
Speaker 4: Colorado in the state Capitol, put up by the governor
Speaker 4: along with all the other presidents, was purposefully distorted to
Speaker 4: a level that even I perhaps have never seen before.
Speaker 4: The artist also did President Obama, and he looks wonderful,
Speaker 4: but the one on me is truly the worst. She
Speaker 4: must have lost her talent as she got older. In
Speaker 4: any event, I would much prefer not having a picture
Speaker 4: than having this one.
Speaker 2: Now, I haven't seen any of you.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm looking at it and it's it's not uh,
Speaker 4: it's just not It just doesn't look like him. I mean,
Speaker 4: it's bad from the standpoint of it. Just he just
Speaker 4: it looks like a heavier, younger hymn. It's not a
Speaker 4: very good likeness.
Speaker 2: So it's not like cartoonishly, you know, insulting.
Speaker 4: No, And he talked about how everybody's so unhappy with
Speaker 4: it and they need to take of what a funny
Speaker 4: thing with everything he's got going on domestically and around
Speaker 4: the world, to put out a really long statement about
Speaker 4: how he's really unhappy with the painting they have of
Speaker 4: him in the.
Speaker 2: Colorado State House.
Speaker 1: He's the anti Churchill. He stops to throw rock exit
Speaker 1: every dog that barks.
Speaker 2: The terriphrase, great.
Speaker 1: Brit Yeah, he's actually so, where where are we on
Speaker 1: Venezuela and gang members getting heaved out of the country.
Speaker 1: Tom Holman, he's going wild and we'll give you an
Speaker 1: update on all of that stuff coming up in second stay.
Speaker 4: With us Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 7: I don't care what that judges. Thank As far as
Speaker 7: this case, we're going to continue to arrest public safety
Speaker 7: threats and national security threats. We're going to continue to
Speaker 7: deportum for the United States. As far as Evans and
Speaker 7: one is that flight, every single one, according to the
Speaker 7: information given me from the field, are members of the TDA,
Speaker 7: and tda's been determined to be terrorist organizations. They are
Speaker 7: not classified at terrorts. So that plane removed two hundred
Speaker 7: and forty terrafts from the United States.
Speaker 4: That's Tom Holman, who's been put in charge of kicking
Speaker 4: out violent gang members or really anybody who's here illegally.
Speaker 4: Our officials show stance seems to have landed on. Politically,
Speaker 4: this is a win booting people out left and right.
Speaker 1: Letter what they try to tell you on the news. Yeah,
Speaker 1: politically it is a win.
Speaker 4: Legally, constitutionally, we got to make sure there's due process
Speaker 4: and all that sort of stuff, because that's.
Speaker 2: What we do. Yeah, I would agree.
Speaker 1: I think it is not at all implausible the Trump
Speaker 1: administration's leaning on the Alien Enemies Act, which we can.
Speaker 2: Get into in a moment or two. But yeah, we agree.
Speaker 1: Look, if anything happens without due process, it starts to
Speaker 1: make me nervous because you know, if by some horror
Speaker 1: of happenstance, a Jdve, a JB. Pritzker of Illinois, or
Speaker 1: a Gavin Newsom became president and they decided to unleash
Speaker 1: whatever evil schemes they had, you know, I want due
Speaker 1: process to stand in the way of them, you know,
Speaker 1: screwing over innocent Americans. But anyway, we'll talk a little
Speaker 1: bit more about the Alien Enemies Act.
Speaker 2: If for no other reason, then it's got a great name.
Speaker 4: In a moment, Well, there was a story floating around
Speaker 4: social media over the weekend, and I think the New
Speaker 4: York Times had it actually of some dude that was
Speaker 4: absolutely not a gang member and got caught up in
Speaker 4: this and was there being treated horribly back in his
Speaker 4: home country and sought asylum and blah blah blah. I
Speaker 4: didn't drill down on that, but I'm sure that will
Speaker 4: work its way through the court system.
Speaker 1: Yeah, to whatever extent we can avoid that sort of thing.
Speaker 1: I mean, who could be against that unless it paralyzes
Speaker 1: the actual removal of all of the nasty, murderous, rapey
Speaker 1: gang members.
Speaker 2: Well that's the goal.
Speaker 4: Certainly from some people, it's like it's like, you know,
Speaker 4: the lawsuits over sodium pentathol, whatever it is you give
Speaker 4: to execute people, your ultimate goal was to not have
Speaker 4: any executions. This is just a particular individual way to
Speaker 4: stop it legally. And I have a concern that that's
Speaker 4: what the goal is for a lot of people.
Speaker 2: Oh, I think you're right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I heard a lot of this alleged gang
Speaker 1: member was a young father. He was liked by his neighbors,
Speaker 1: and he blah blah blah.
Speaker 2: Look if he was in trendy arragua, I don't care.
Speaker 1: If he was the loving father of five in a
Speaker 1: local volunteer softball coach, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 2: It's immaterial.
Speaker 4: So you know what I want to get him in,
Speaker 4: Paul lang Wood show that even if you weren't in
Speaker 4: a gang, but if you were here illegally, people want
Speaker 4: you gone.
Speaker 2: I don't rely on pulling I rely on what's right,
Speaker 2: he says, without a hint.
Speaker 1: Of self righteousness. I thought it was so interesting. A
Speaker 1: couple of things about the Alien Enemies Act. First of all,
Speaker 1: the news media is making a big deal about Trump
Speaker 1: relying on a law from seventeen ninety eight. Oh, the
Speaker 1: stupid ancient law and it's unconstitutional.
Speaker 2: Well that was seventeen eighty nine. Idiots.
Speaker 1: Are you in favor of like super old established presidents
Speaker 1: or are you not?
Speaker 2: You idiots?
Speaker 1: But again, I don't think they're reading of the laws
Speaker 1: at all implausible. Some folks have made a big deal
Speaker 1: of fact that we haven't declared a war, and the
Speaker 1: Act is for a state of war.
Speaker 2: Let me read it to you.
Speaker 1: Whenever there is a declared war between the United States
Speaker 1: and any foreign nation or government, say there you have it.
Speaker 2: Well, wait a minute, there's more comma.
Speaker 1: Or any invasion or predatory incursion is perpetrated, attempted, or
Speaker 1: threatened against the territory of the United States by any
Speaker 1: foreign nation or government. All natives, citizens, denizens I like
Speaker 1: the word denizens, or subjects of the hostile nation or
Speaker 1: government who shall be within the United States not actually naturalized,
Speaker 1: shall be liable to be apprehended, restrained, secured, and booted
Speaker 1: the hell out, Well, it says, and removed as alien enemies.
Speaker 1: So what is a predatory incursion? When Maduro of Venezuelan
Speaker 1: knows full well who he's exporting, I'm going to.
Speaker 4: Start calling my son at Denis and I usually go
Speaker 4: with hoodlum or derelict. You wear those pants, you look
Speaker 4: like a derelict, I'll say, Dennison. Well, now that just
Speaker 4: means like person from anyway?
Speaker 2: Uh does? Oh? So what is a predatory incursion?
Speaker 1: I'm fine with letting the courts decide, or Congress can
Speaker 1: step and say, hey, we got to womend the Act
Speaker 1: and then now we here's some more specific wording.
Speaker 2: That's fine. That's the way the legal system is supposed
Speaker 2: to work. And if there's some.
Speaker 1: Guy who's not actually a gang memory he's just a
Speaker 1: humble Venezuelan who hates freaking communism and wanted to make
Speaker 1: a start in the US, I don't like him being
Speaker 1: booted out without due process. But again, there are going
Speaker 1: to be mistakes made as you do the right thing.
Speaker 1: There have been loads of mistakes and dead people when
Speaker 1: we're doing the wrong thing. So hey, it's not a
Speaker 1: good thing that maybe an innocent gets caught up in this,
Speaker 1: and I know you yelling he's an illegal, boot him out.
Speaker 2: Okay, fair enough, How do you make an ama? You
Speaker 2: gotta break some way boats. That's a good point. But anyway,
Speaker 2: we got to work our way through this.
Speaker 1: And honestly, you know, a single circuit court judge making
Speaker 1: a stupid decision, I'm not threatened by that because we
Speaker 1: have an appeal spot process and I don't know if
Speaker 1: you've heard, We've got a really good Supreme Court sitting
Speaker 1: right now. So anyway, if you've heard that in all
Speaker 1: those are crazy, it's outrageous, it's illegal.
Speaker 2: No, it ain't. Oh, that's right.
Speaker 1: I wanted to get to Tom Holman addressing the statement
Speaker 1: by the media and people on the left. It a
Speaker 1: lot of these people don't have criminal convictions. They're not
Speaker 1: convicted of being gang members. How dare you clip fifty four?
Speaker 7: Most terrors we arrest are identified yos camera are later
Speaker 7: identified through a Title three investigation or through an undercover operation.
Speaker 7: They're not in any terror screen in basket in screening database.
Speaker 7: We know that many gamers don't have a criminal history.
Speaker 7: We have a kind of social media. We have a
Speaker 7: kind of surveillance technique. We had to count on Swarren
Speaker 7: statements from other game memory, count on you know, wire
Speaker 7: taps and title threes. Everything involved with the criminal investigations
Speaker 7: come into play.
Speaker 1: Putting aside the fact that Tom Homan sounds like a
Speaker 1: punch drunk prize fighter and is difficult to understand at times,
Speaker 1: he is absolutely crazy, knowledgeable and smart. It's funny, I
Speaker 1: don't know what you need. Some speech shift there.
Speaker 4: Is somebody has a little moush mouth like he's just
Speaker 4: a few too many drinks, says, you know what, you
Speaker 4: gotta do this, you gotta blue them.
Speaker 1: But his point is no, you can figure out who's
Speaker 1: a gang member without having them convicted. And they're foreign,
Speaker 1: they're illegal, they're in the country. They're nasty. We're getting
Speaker 1: rid of them.
Speaker 4: No polls really well too. Again, politically, people don't like
Speaker 4: illegals in the country.
Speaker 1: If I'm asked to follow the laws and regulations of
Speaker 1: the United States, I am just fine with everybody else
Speaker 1: doing the same thing.
Speaker 2: It's as simple as that they make me follow the rules.
Speaker 1: Are they threatened me with fines and jail and all
Speaker 1: sorts of other things, or loss of reputation. My boss
Speaker 1: will get rid of me if I bring disrepute upon
Speaker 1: the organization. And yet those people are allowed to be
Speaker 1: completely lawless. People don't like that.
Speaker 2: We will finish Strong next Armstrong.
Speaker 6: I see confession signs are back in the news. John
Speaker 6: Vetterman had one at home. I way Versachi Alec Baldwin.
Speaker 6: I killed Jane Hackman.
Speaker 2: Oh that's you gotta be on the edge. I'm sorry,
Speaker 2: one of.
Speaker 6: The rescued astronauts.
Speaker 2: This sucks. I wish I was back in space.
Speaker 6: Aaron when a random kid approcused me, I just assume
Speaker 6: he's mine.
Speaker 1: I'm not familiar with the concept of confession signs.
Speaker 2: I'm not either, but I went with it anyway.
Speaker 4: I don't know how many of you know who Adam
Speaker 4: Frank is. If you ever listened to him or read
Speaker 4: any of his books, He's apparently pretty well known.
Speaker 2: I don't think i'd ever heard of him before. He's
Speaker 2: an American physicist.
Speaker 4: Astronomer, and writer, written several books. And I took in
Speaker 4: a long podcast he was on Friedman's Lex Friedman's podcast here.
Speaker 4: They talked for like three and a half hours. It's
Speaker 4: amazing that those.
Speaker 2: Podcasts do as well as they do.
Speaker 4: But anyway, there's some really interesting stuff on there that
Speaker 4: I had never heard or thought about before. Particularly, they
Speaker 4: got into the conversation of whether or not there is
Speaker 4: any other life anywhere in the universe, which is one
Speaker 4: of my favorite.
Speaker 2: Topics, and.
Speaker 4: He made the point, which is obviously true, but I've
Speaker 4: never really thought of it, that if they ever discover
Speaker 4: life anywhere or that it had existed, even if it
Speaker 4: doesn't exist now, then it changes. It goes from we
Speaker 4: might be the only life that is exepted in the universe.
Speaker 2: Two, it's all over the place.
Speaker 4: I mean, because just finding it anywhere else would lead
Speaker 4: you to believe that, Okay, it can happen more than once.
Speaker 2: This is the one off. Okay, now we're off to
Speaker 2: the raisins. It's all over the universe.
Speaker 1: And what does that mean, given them many billions of
Speaker 1: possibilities where it could be sure?
Speaker 2: Yeah, first of all, he had this info. I didn't
Speaker 2: know that. The recent info is this. I don't know
Speaker 2: how many people know this.
Speaker 4: There are at least as many stars in the universe
Speaker 4: as there are grains of sand on planet Earth. They
Speaker 4: use that as a rough number, just to give you
Speaker 4: an idea of how many stars are.
Speaker 2: Every star has at least one planet, so there's like
Speaker 2: a thousand stars.
Speaker 1: There are.
Speaker 4: The numbers are amazing, But every one of those grains
Speaker 4: of sand stars out there has at least one planet.
Speaker 4: One out of five of them are in the habitable
Speaker 4: zone at least the right distance from the star that
Speaker 4: we believe life could occur. So the numbers on that
Speaker 4: is there have been slash are ten billion trillion planets
Speaker 4: that meet the criteria for life. Ten billion trillion, obviously's
Speaker 4: an unimaginable number, and his argument.
Speaker 2: Was, you have to believe.
Speaker 4: It's either more likely than one in ten billion trillion
Speaker 4: or less likely than one in ten billion trillion that
Speaker 4: life could exist somewhere. And as long as you think
Speaker 4: it's more likely than one in ten billion trillion, then.
Speaker 2: There's life out there somewhere. Yeah, which is an interesting
Speaker 2: mathematical way to look at it.
Speaker 1: Hasn't the idea that no, no Earth is completely unique
Speaker 1: been kind of hit in science.
Speaker 4: Circles for a little while. Now lately, I feel like
Speaker 4: there's a lot more scientists. I think this is why
Speaker 4: he was out talking about this lately. I feel like
Speaker 4: there's a lot more scientists thinking I don't think there's
Speaker 4: any more life out there. And then there's the Fermi paradox,
Speaker 4: which we talked about a couple of weeks ago, as
Speaker 4: a famous scientists who once said, then where is everybody?
Speaker 4: The idea if there was teeming life out there, have
Speaker 4: we not heard from anybody, seen one bit of information
Speaker 4: about it?
Speaker 2: Ever?
Speaker 4: Just seems odd, doesn't it now? This guy that I
Speaker 4: was listening to, he said, the amount of the universe
Speaker 4: that we have explored or reached out to, or could
Speaker 4: have heard from is the equivalent of a bathtub full
Speaker 4: of water out of the entire ocean on Earth.
Speaker 1: So it's a very tidy amount that we've explored, right.
Speaker 1: And then you have the problem of across time. I mean,
Speaker 1: you had an intelligent civilization exist for one hundred million years,
Speaker 1: but that was three hundred million years ago.
Speaker 4: Right. I'm glad you brought that up, because that is
Speaker 4: one of it, because one of the things, because it
Speaker 4: could be that. And he made the point that you
Speaker 4: could have had a civilization as sophisticated as ours.
Speaker 2: On this planet Earth.
Speaker 4: That lasted ten thousand years, but if it had been
Speaker 4: one hundred million years ago, there'd be no sign of
Speaker 4: it whatsoever. I mean because just the way things deteriorate,
Speaker 4: there'd be no way of knowing if we had one
Speaker 4: of those a ten thousand years civilization scic flying around
Speaker 4: living their life, doing their things, whatever reason, destroyed itself,
Speaker 4: that we'd have no way of knowing on our own planet.
Speaker 2: So how the hell are you ever going to know
Speaker 2: on some other planet? So this might be like the
Speaker 2: second time we've developed the Internet and AI to destroy ourselves,
Speaker 2: or the fifth or of what, who knows what.
Speaker 1: But according to that guy, you're never going to see
Speaker 1: the statue of liberty poking out of those sand that
Speaker 1: realized it's.
Speaker 4: The planet of the apes right the time aspect is
Speaker 4: the crazy one. That's where it gets really weird because
Speaker 4: human beings, we've had sophisticated civilization for a blink of
Speaker 4: an eye, and so that that's when it gets weird,
Speaker 4: because you look at some planet that's been there for
Speaker 4: four billion years and at any point it could.
Speaker 2: Have had a civilization and then it disappeared. How would
Speaker 2: you ever know? Anyway brought me to this and I'm
Speaker 2: gonna check this out.
Speaker 4: Are you familiar with the TV series The Expanse I
Speaker 4: haven't seen it him not, No, it's one of those
Speaker 4: streaming series.
Speaker 2: But the the idea of it is like Elon wants
Speaker 2: to do.
Speaker 4: Colonizing Mars, but but it colonizes a whole bunch of
Speaker 4: different planets and it follows the how things would play
Speaker 4: out from there, and it sounds pretty interesting, kind of
Speaker 4: like politically human nature wise, where you'd have I mean,
Speaker 4: like he asked the question, if Mars gets colonized, at
Speaker 4: what point would the people of Mars say, Hey, you
Speaker 4: don't get to tell us what to do anymore.
Speaker 2: We're going to do our own thing. No colony would
Speaker 2: ever do that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly, none of your business how we decide to
Speaker 4: live here, for instance.
Speaker 1: And by the way, we're kind of full up, so
Speaker 1: stop sending rockets here because we'll shoot them down.
Speaker 2: We're not accepting anymore. Yeah, at what point does that happen?
Speaker 4: And then if you have multiple planets like I guess
Speaker 4: this TV show is about, then you get into you
Speaker 4: know that.
Speaker 2: Planet over there has got more nits which we need.
Speaker 4: How about we go take it. I think we can
Speaker 4: take it and they can't stop us. Of course, me
Speaker 4: sitting on a whole lot better Nicerisium. I'm gonna make
Speaker 4: an alliance with that planet over there.
Speaker 2: I say, you come over here, We're gonna whoop your ass. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Obviously there's no reason to think human nature wouldn't just
Speaker 4: expand to the very same situation.
Speaker 2: Of course it would. Yeah, of course it wouldn't.
Speaker 1: Strong, Strong, you're ready, And that's when I put on
Speaker 1: a tri cornered and we have a demonstration where we
Speaker 1: throw all the night Jurissium in the bay to make
Speaker 1: the point right. Here's your host for final thoughts, Joe Getty.
Speaker 1: So many people who think so little time. Wi's that's
Speaker 1: a little premature. Let's get a final thought from everybody
Speaker 1: on the team to wrap up the day. There is
Speaker 1: Michaelangelowell lead us off there.
Speaker 2: Happy birthday, Katie.
Speaker 4: It is Katie's birthday, so on that day birthday, yes,
Speaker 4: twenty nine forever.
Speaker 2: Oh, I love you for that.
Speaker 1: Thank you.
Speaker 2: Oh six, watching you grow Katie, very very you're thirty six.
Speaker 2: I am god you do Wow, guys, thank you Katie.
Speaker 2: A final thought on this year natal day. That's that's it.
Speaker 2: I'm I'm grateful to still be here. Yeah, amen to that. Jack.
Speaker 4: A final thought you'd like to share like, for instance,
Speaker 4: they colonize Mars. You get a population going there and
Speaker 4: they decide, you know, we want to be a patriarchy
Speaker 4: that only allows this religion. What are you gonna stop
Speaker 4: them because we don't think that's right?
Speaker 2: Or I mean, now's that all gonna work out?
Speaker 1: You're gonna send a space army up there to whoop
Speaker 1: them back in a shade?
Speaker 7: Right?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 1: My final thought is NCAA basketball tournament related in that
Speaker 1: I was rooting for my alma water, the University of Illinois,
Speaker 1: and they lost in a sloppy game against Kentucky. But
Speaker 1: it's a bunch of guys I'd never heard of before
Speaker 1: in my life. They all transferred in through the transfer portal.
Speaker 1: They'll all be gone probably next season. It'll be a
Speaker 1: new collection of guys wearing the orange and blue. And
Speaker 1: I'll probably still root for him. But how long will
Speaker 1: the love affair with college sports last? Now that it's
Speaker 1: completely different?
Speaker 4: I wonder Armstrong and Getty rack I about other grueling
Speaker 4: four hour workday.
Speaker 1: Go to Armstrong Engeddy dot com. Many pleasures, Await see
Speaker 1: you tomorrow.
Speaker 2: God bless America. I'm strong and geta is the biggest
Speaker 2: ponsis game of all time.
Speaker 5: It's a huge disaster, but nobody's ever done anything about him.
Speaker 2: No, no, that's not what I was told. And we
Speaker 2: do not have to live like this. In fact, we
Speaker 2: cannot live like this. I'm gonna call my lawyer.
Speaker 1: Garnjee Dundeea's screaming stop it.
Speaker 4: It is over.
Speaker 2: It is over, and when it's over, it is over.
Speaker 2: It is over. Bye Bye Armstrong and getdy
