1 00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:10,680 Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 2 00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:16,240 Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Kaddy Armstrong and 3 00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:29,240 Speaker 1: and he arm drawn. Do we have to do this? 4 00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:37,080 Speaker 1: Checking the contracts, reading down paragraph fourteenth, Yes, Yes, yes 5 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:41,280 Speaker 1: we do. I suggested during the morning meeting. Yes, we 6 00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:45,440 Speaker 1: actually plan this out and it still turns out this way. 7 00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,360 Speaker 1: Suggested during the morning meeting that maybe the show policy 8 00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:52,040 Speaker 1: be after a shooting, after a controversial shooting, we always 9 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:55,640 Speaker 1: take two days off. I voted in favor of this, 10 00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,280 Speaker 1: but again, seems like a fall the contract could not 11 00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:03,240 Speaker 1: find any wiggle role live from studio ce YadA, YadA, yasaka. 12 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 1: Today we're under the tutelage of our general manager. I 13 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:10,200 Speaker 1: rarely explained the general manager in Advanced Jack, but today 14 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:14,080 Speaker 1: I'm going to I have coined a term. I believe 15 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:20,959 Speaker 1: this is an original work by Joe Getty. Our general 16 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:25,840 Speaker 1: manager is another roar shock shooting and no kidding. I 17 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:29,560 Speaker 1: tweeted about that last night. Oh did you yeah? Oh 18 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 1: it's interesting you didn't see my tweet. I said, basically, 19 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 1: the same thing is, and I think there are lots 20 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:39,840 Speaker 1: of people who sincerely believe this. Who it is on 21 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:44,559 Speaker 1: its face clearly a murder. Or it's on its face 22 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:46,560 Speaker 1: she tried to run over the guy. He did what 23 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 1: he was, he had no choice, And it's clearly, like 24 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:57,560 Speaker 1: obviously true from first glance. And I think everybody's being 25 00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 1: sincere about that, which I find alone, without getting into 26 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 1: immigration policy or politics or anything else, freaking fascinating, is 27 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 1: that the way we live, our whole lives, all of us, 28 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 1: including me, Do I see everything through the lens of 29 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:22,079 Speaker 1: my prior beliefs or wishes so strongly that I'm incapable 30 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,120 Speaker 1: of really seeing things truly. I guess it's the orwell 31 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 1: quote the hardest thing for someone to do is to 32 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,240 Speaker 1: see what's right in front of one's face. I guess, 33 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 1: because we have so much built up this is what 34 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 1: I want to be true, our brain kicks in and 35 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,960 Speaker 1: makes it true well to the extent that that's not 36 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,920 Speaker 1: true of you or anyone else, That is the extent 37 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:48,359 Speaker 1: to which you are a rational human being. So you think, well, 38 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:53,680 Speaker 1: it's tough because one side is well, Jack, I didn't 39 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 1: say it was easy to get into the story. It's 40 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 1: going for good and condescending. I don't think it's clearly 41 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 1: anything I lean one direction, but I don't think it's 42 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:09,520 Speaker 1: clearly anything. So I'm amazed that everybody who immediately are 43 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,959 Speaker 1: one hundred percent certain of something. All right, Well, I 44 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,240 Speaker 1: will tell you that what the actual question is is 45 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,079 Speaker 1: clear to me, and I have spent a great deal 46 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,239 Speaker 1: of time researching the answer to it, and I will 47 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 1: bring that to you in a little bit. I am 48 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 1: an odd duck, there is no doubt of that. Ask 49 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 1: anybody who knows me. I don't particularly enjoy rushing to 50 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 1: my prior attitude and just yelling about it. I really 51 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 1: want to know, Wow, this is an interesting case. What 52 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 1: does the law say, what does precedent say? What's the 53 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 1: truth here? And that's going to be my approach and 54 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 1: help you sort it out. It's not one clearly one 55 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 1: or the other. I will tell you that there is 56 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 1: a one specific point of law that is at question here, 57 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 1: and it's an interesting one. But you know, this is 58 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 1: why I'm not invited to the cool people parties, because 59 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 1: most people just want to shout what they believed coming in. 60 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:19,480 Speaker 1: That's fine, it's fine. So that's probably happier than I am. Friends, Well, 61 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 1: although I'm pretty happy, honestly, it's definitely fine. For the 62 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 1: average human being, but we've we have none. It's fine 63 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 1: for the governor or, for the mayor of Minneapolis, by 64 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:33,240 Speaker 1: the way, to spout off like a freaking adolescent. Well 65 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:37,040 Speaker 1: that's what I was gonna say. We got no grown ups. 66 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,120 Speaker 1: There are just no grown ups anymore who feel like 67 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 1: whether it's Christinome who immediately went to conclusions also, and 68 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 1: Trump went to conclusions, and the mayor went to conclusions, 69 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,800 Speaker 1: and Walls went to conclusions. And the media, Oh my god, 70 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:56,720 Speaker 1: ABC Evening News led basically what David Muir said, a 71 00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 1: cop murdered a woman today. We'll show you the video. 72 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 1: I mean, MSNBC did everything but hand out antion for 73 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 1: the coming revolution. But there's nobody watches that, so it's 74 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:11,159 Speaker 1: not that important. But the media, again, it's not good. 75 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,240 Speaker 1: I don't like it, but I'm amazed there are no 76 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 1: grown ups in government. The I I used to bother 77 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,919 Speaker 1: me when something exciting would happen and a mayor or 78 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 1: a president or a senator or whoever would step in 79 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 1: and say, it's an ongoing investigation. We're not gonna comment 80 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 1: on this time to be like, oh man, I'm all 81 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 1: worked up. What do you mean We're gonna wait, but 82 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 1: that's the way we used to do things. Everybody did 83 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 1: it that way. Not gonna comment on this until we've 84 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 1: got all the information gathered. It's troubling, but we're not 85 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 1: blah blah blah. Nobody does that anymore. Nobody. Everybody's a 86 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 1: talk show host or a Twitter feed, right right, Yeah, 87 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,360 Speaker 1: well said Another way to put it. And this is 88 00:05:54,400 --> 00:06:00,120 Speaker 1: the way I've been thinking about it, is that everybody, 89 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,720 Speaker 1: or a lot of people are so hung up on 90 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 1: intent and emotion and what people should have known and 91 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:16,320 Speaker 1: just this is about the law and if for instance, 92 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 1: and I don't want to get into this, I in 93 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,800 Speaker 1: the again pre show meeting, we decided we're really going 94 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,280 Speaker 1: to talk about it here because there's a lot to 95 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:28,600 Speaker 1: be said. But people are really really leaning on things 96 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 1: that are completely irrelevant to the specific question of whether 97 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,599 Speaker 1: the shooting was justified, and that's the way they see 98 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 1: the world and or it it's to them to a 99 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 1: lot of people, you got to take the totality of 100 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 1: it and weigh the morality of it, and then come 101 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 1: down with was that a nice person or a mean person? 102 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,120 Speaker 1: Was that a nice person or a mean person? Was 103 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,160 Speaker 1: that person doing nice things? For the world, or it 104 00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:01,039 Speaker 1: was that person doing nasty things again good people of 105 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 1: the world, and that's how I'll decide the case. No, 106 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 1: it comes down to some very specific legal questions. Now 107 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,119 Speaker 1: if you want to make a bigger moral argument about 108 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 1: what the loss should be. It's pretty good at conversation 109 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 1: I have, but I don't know the whole thing. Frustrating. 110 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:20,240 Speaker 1: Were they a mom or not, Whether the child will 111 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 1: be sad it's mommy is dead, don't enter into it. 112 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 1: One interesting thing about this is it is obliterated the 113 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 1: news cycle and will probably through today, I hope not 114 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 1: longer than that to some extent. It depends on what 115 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 1: Trump says or Wall says or whatever. On how man 116 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 1: with the legs of this story? Man, what's going on 117 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 1: in Iran, in Venezuela and Russia and Ukraine. Huge stories 118 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:55,160 Speaker 1: right right with giant on worldwide implications, maybe for decades 119 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,560 Speaker 1: to come. Can't wait to talk about it. Yeah, we 120 00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 1: should start the show officially, you know, before we that. 121 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 1: I have one more thing on Minnesota, because I know 122 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 1: we have a predominantly conservative listenership, and I have a 123 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:09,040 Speaker 1: feeling I know the way most people are leaning on this, 124 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 1: and I will tell you this in our audience, in 125 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 1: our audience, and but this is again, this is not 126 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 1: some sort of conclusion about legality or illegality. Here's a 127 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 1: suggestion for you as you live your life. Friends, same 128 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 1: suggestion I make to my kids, my friends, my beautiful spouse. 129 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 1: Don't take like ten steps down the road of something 130 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:38,319 Speaker 1: horrible might happen, and then be shocked when something horrible happens. 131 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:46,320 Speaker 1: Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Yeah, and I've played 132 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,600 Speaker 1: a lot of stupid games in my life, and in 133 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:53,080 Speaker 1: many cases I got like, you know, third place prize 134 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:56,080 Speaker 1: in the stupid prize, but never the big first prize 135 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,640 Speaker 1: where you drown in the ocean drunk in the middle 136 00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:02,079 Speaker 1: of the night, or you know what I'm doing right, 137 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:09,440 Speaker 1: But yeah, you're gonna play the brave revolutionary. Sometimes bad 138 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:15,280 Speaker 1: things happen anyway, And can the Supreme Court finally decide 139 00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 1: whether a sanctuary city is a thing that would be nice? 140 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,720 Speaker 1: But anyways, more on that later we'll start to show Officially, 141 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 1: I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe Getty on this it is 142 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:27,559 Speaker 1: how did I already get to be? Thursday, January the eighth, 143 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 1: the year twenty twenty six, war, armstrong and getting and 144 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,200 Speaker 1: we approve of this program. I think Trump may have 145 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,839 Speaker 1: defunded the FCC. But let's start anyway at Mark. 146 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,440 Speaker 2: They are already trying to spin this as an action 147 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:44,600 Speaker 2: of self defense. Having seen the video of myself, I 148 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:50,840 Speaker 2: want to tell everybody directly that is bull This was 149 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:57,200 Speaker 2: an agent recklessly using power that resulted in somebody dying. 150 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,920 Speaker 1: When you are an emotional adolescent and you need to 151 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 1: sit down and let the grown ups talk. Jacob fry 152 00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:09,280 Speaker 1: Frey of Minneapolis, the mayor, Well, there are multiple videos, 153 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,439 Speaker 1: and I know when I saw one video that came 154 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 1: in later in the day, it looked slightly more this 155 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:18,000 Speaker 1: direction than something else I saw. So now say so 156 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 1: on that was plenty. I saw the video and I've 157 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:24,040 Speaker 1: concluded a murder happened. God, we don't we need leaders 158 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,920 Speaker 1: to be grown ups. I know it's more boring. I 159 00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:30,199 Speaker 1: know you don't get near as many clicks or donations 160 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 1: pouring into your fund immediately. You don't get on Fox 161 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 1: News or MSNBC as easily. But we need more grown ups. 162 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 1: There's an investigation going on, very troubled by what happened, 163 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:43,960 Speaker 1: et cetera, et cetera. You used to hear that sort 164 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 1: of thing. It's so long in the past, kind of 165 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:50,560 Speaker 1: hardly even remember that happening. I know, we've got Katie's 166 00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:53,040 Speaker 1: headlines on the way with a lot going on, always 167 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 1: look forward to your texts four one, five, two nine 168 00:10:55,520 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 1: five KFTC. I guess I'm mostly troubled by the way 169 00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 1: we're all just so dug in. We we take in 170 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:09,840 Speaker 1: information through a filter that gets us to where we 171 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 1: want to be, no matter what. People have always been 172 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:15,720 Speaker 1: that way. There've always been fringes that are that way. 173 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:22,400 Speaker 1: But the entire population of voters is that way now. Yeah, 174 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:26,920 Speaker 1: And the pros in the business would tell you, dudes, 175 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:29,719 Speaker 1: that's where the money is. It's where the clicks are, 176 00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:32,320 Speaker 1: that's where the donations are, that's where the votes are. 177 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:36,680 Speaker 1: So cling to your silly little rationality if you want. 178 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:44,040 Speaker 1: It's very very cute, but you're wasting your time. Nice. 179 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 1: We got more swimming against the tide, like a board 180 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:52,040 Speaker 1: salmon that swims A dull salmon swim against the tide, 181 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,320 Speaker 1: don't they kind of scream? I think when they're trying 182 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 1: to get another metaphor. I don't know that much about 183 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 1: salmon other than they're good We'll get into the video 184 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,960 Speaker 1: and all that sort of stuff later, all right, Sam 185 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 1: and rushdie real soon. We will get into it. Katie 186 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 1: enjoy that. All right, let's begin officially now, I'm sorry, no, 187 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:15,959 Speaker 1: that was the last segment. Let's figure out who's reporting 188 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,559 Speaker 1: what it's the lead story with Katie Green Katie Oh. 189 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 3: Well, of course, most of the major outlets are covering 190 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 3: the Minneapolis situation. So three of those, starting with ABC 191 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 3: quote a state of terror and fear. Eyewitnesses share her 192 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 3: their accounts of the fatal shooting in Minneapolis. NBC woman 193 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 3: fatally shot by ice agent identified as a resident who 194 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:44,120 Speaker 3: was quote out caring for her neighbors, and the Washington Pope. 195 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,760 Speaker 3: Woman killed by ice in Minneapolis was a mother of 196 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:49,319 Speaker 3: three and a poet. 197 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 1: Mother of three. The fact that she was a poet 198 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 1: factors in okass a poet. 199 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,560 Speaker 3: We lost a poet, and some of her poetry is nuts. 200 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:03,240 Speaker 1: Well, I don't. I wish she weren't dead, all right, 201 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 1: So I'm not. I don't. That's not good. It's not 202 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,720 Speaker 1: good that she's dead. But the fact that she was 203 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:13,679 Speaker 1: a poet or a mom of zero or eight doesn't 204 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:17,480 Speaker 1: have anything to do with what was the Who's had 205 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:19,720 Speaker 1: the headline though about the she was out trying to 206 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:27,560 Speaker 1: help neighbors. That was NBC wow okay, a national broadcasting company. 207 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:28,040 Speaker 3: From the New York Times. 208 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,559 Speaker 1: She was out trying to block enforcement actions by ice 209 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:36,240 Speaker 1: all day, all day long. They knew lead the vehicle, 210 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:37,960 Speaker 1: and they knew who she was. She had spent the 211 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,280 Speaker 1: entire day trying to get in their way, harassing them 212 00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:43,439 Speaker 1: and trying to get in their way. Play stupid games, 213 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:45,720 Speaker 1: win stupid prizes. Whether or not he should have shot 214 00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,280 Speaker 1: or not, that's a different question. 215 00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:55,040 Speaker 3: From the New York Times, Trump says US oversight of 216 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,880 Speaker 3: Venezuela could last four years. 217 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:03,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, so Trump's interview. Trump's probably unhappy about this. Trump 218 00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:07,080 Speaker 1: did a two hour sit down interview with the New 219 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 1: York Times yesterday, and it's getting obliterated by the Minnesota shooting. 220 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:12,720 Speaker 1: But we'll get into some of the things he said, 221 00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,840 Speaker 1: including that for how long will were he run Venezuela? 222 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 1: Two years? A couple two tree depends the Wall Street Journal. 223 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 3: Trump moves to ban big investors from buying single family homes. 224 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, this is a controversial one. I want to talk 225 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,560 Speaker 1: about this later.

Europe has tried this and it is completely discredited. 232 00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 1: It's a terrible policy and counterproductive. But that doesn't matter 233 00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:01,920 Speaker 1: to social life. You end up with the Rolling Stones 234 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 1: moving to France, for instance. When you do this right 235 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,480 Speaker 1: right from. 236 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 3: The Daily Mail, take the fat jabs for life experts 237 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:14,960 Speaker 3: rule as study reveals users coming off of the drugs 238 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:18,160 Speaker 3: pile the pounds back on in under two years. 239 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:22,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, that wouldn't surprise me that if you take that stuff, 240 00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:23,720 Speaker 1: you got to kind of just stay on it, like 241 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:27,000 Speaker 1: a blood pressure medicine or something like that forever. But 242 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,600 Speaker 1: it's gotten so cheap, that new one that's outs twenty 243 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:32,000 Speaker 1: five dollars a month.

Whatever the hell that means. 253 00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:12,920 Speaker 1: Whatever you give me a luminum cut at me on 254 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:14,160 Speaker 1: throwing it in your face. 255 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:20,920 Speaker 3: And finally from the Babylon B White House announces over 256 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:25,720 Speaker 3: one million new jobs were created in December, but they 257 00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:27,360 Speaker 3: were all filled by Marco Rubio. 258 00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:32,320 Speaker 1: That is a funny meme if you're hip to that. Yeah, 259 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 1: little Marco who has like four official titles, and now 260 00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:37,680 Speaker 1: the hip thing is to put him in football uniforms 261 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,280 Speaker 1: and the shaw of Iran outfit and say he's doing 262 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:44,480 Speaker 1: all those jobs. Speaking of Iran, the protesters revolution, if 263 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 1: it might be actually be a revolution, they brought down 264 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 1: the biggest flag there in Tehran. That's not the sort 265 00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:54,320 Speaker 1: of thing you usually can pull off with the Iyahtola's 266 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:58,880 Speaker 1: goons there. So who knows where this is going. That's 267 00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:01,320 Speaker 1: a big story. So the other headline, the US trade 268 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:04,040 Speaker 1: deficit shrank in October to the lowest level since two 269 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:08,119 Speaker 1: thousand and nine. That's a terriff thing for better or worse. Yeah, 270 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:11,360 Speaker 1: that's a complicated discussion too. Speaking of subtleties that most 271 00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:13,920 Speaker 1: people ignore. Let's get into the subtleties of the shooting 272 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:16,400 Speaker 1: among other things on the way. So statement. 273 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:22,960 Speaker 4: Armstrong and Getty, it was an active domestic terrorism. What 274 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:26,120 Speaker 4: happened was our ICE officers were out in an enforcement action. 275 00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,080 Speaker 4: They got stuck in the snow because of the adverse 276 00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:31,520 Speaker 4: weather that is in Minneapolis. They were attempting to push 277 00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:34,240 Speaker 4: out their vehicle and a woman attacked them and those 278 00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:36,800 Speaker 4: surrounding them and attempted to run them over and ram 279 00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:38,240 Speaker 4: them with her vehicle. 280 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:42,919 Speaker 1: That's Christy Nome and her cowboy hat, the DHS secretary 281 00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:48,520 Speaker 1: after mishive domestic terrorism says the secretary of the Department 282 00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:52,400 Speaker 1: of Homeland Security. The mayor of Minneapolis has a differing 283 00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:53,440 Speaker 1: different opinion. 284 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:57,119 Speaker 2: They are already trying to spin this as an action 285 00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:02,280 Speaker 2: of self defense. Having seen the video of myself, I 286 00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:08,480 Speaker 2: want to tell everybody directly that is bullsh This was 287 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:14,879 Speaker 2: an agent recklessly using power that resulted in somebody dying. 288 00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:19,240 Speaker 2: There's little I can say again that'll make this situation better. 289 00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:22,960 Speaker 2: But I do have a message for our community, for 290 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:26,679 Speaker 2: a city, and I have a message for ICE. 291 00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:28,560 Speaker 1: Two. 292 00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:31,360 Speaker 2: Ice get the fuck out of Minneapolis. 293 00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:35,359 Speaker 1: Am I wrong that in the olden times. The DHF 294 00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:38,399 Speaker 1: secretary that soon after an incident like that would have 295 00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:42,280 Speaker 1: just said, I'm not gonna comment. It's an ongoing investigation. 296 00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:44,800 Speaker 1: A loss of life is always troubling, but we're going 297 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,880 Speaker 1: to take a look at this, and you know, very 298 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:51,400 Speaker 1: carefully right, that'd be it correct? Yeah, And the mayor 299 00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,960 Speaker 1: would say something similar, yeah, yeah, or maybe hint at 300 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:56,560 Speaker 1: the direction they were lading, but they would be an 301 00:18:56,560 --> 00:19:00,080 Speaker 1: adult about it, certainly. Mark Alpern wrote and spits in 302 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:03,480 Speaker 1: with kind of our vibe today, good luck finding one 303 00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:07,160 Speaker 1: Trump voter who thinks it was murder or one Trump 304 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,920 Speaker 1: opponent who believes the ice officer acted in self defense, 305 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:13,879 Speaker 1: which is messed up. I agree. Media reports that the 306 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,200 Speaker 1: videos are this is the part that's a little confusing 307 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:20,040 Speaker 1: to me. Media reports that the videos are inconclusive about 308 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:24,600 Speaker 1: whether her car hit the officer are absurd, however, well, 309 00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:27,120 Speaker 1: which gets the problem with may Or Fry watching one 310 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:29,240 Speaker 1: video and saying, or Fray, I guess you pronounced it. 311 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:30,840 Speaker 1: I don't know. I learned to pronounce your own name 312 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:36,959 Speaker 1: having seen one video. There are multiple videos, and they 313 00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:40,120 Speaker 1: give you a different point of view, and the one 314 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:43,760 Speaker 1: video that I've seen she unquestionably hits them not once 315 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:46,080 Speaker 1: but twice with the front corner of her car and 316 00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:51,399 Speaker 1: then catches them with the rearview mirror. So I don't know. 317 00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:55,840 Speaker 1: You know, these videos came to me through Twitter, so 318 00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:57,600 Speaker 1: I don't know when they were available to the mayor 319 00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:02,040 Speaker 1: or the DHS secretary, failing probably roughly the same timeline, 320 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:05,240 Speaker 1: because this stuff got out pretty fast. The first video 321 00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:06,960 Speaker 1: we saw on the day, I couldn't tell what the 322 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:10,080 Speaker 1: hell happened troupe. I was only focusing on the guy 323 00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:11,720 Speaker 1: at the window. I didn't even know there was someone 324 00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:13,600 Speaker 1: in front of the car in the first video, which 325 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:16,359 Speaker 1: I think is the one that everybody was commenting on, 326 00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:19,000 Speaker 1: right off the bat, you didn't even know there was 327 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:20,840 Speaker 1: anybody in front of the car. Then when I saw 328 00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:22,639 Speaker 1: the other angles where there, oh, there's a guy in 329 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:27,640 Speaker 1: front of the car, well that it looked completely different, right, Yeah, 330 00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,680 Speaker 1: and again there is There are multiple videos and one 331 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:33,800 Speaker 1: I've just seen recently. Again, you can see very clearly 332 00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:35,840 Speaker 1: the jolt to the officer as he's caught by the 333 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:39,919 Speaker 1: car in the ways I just described. Also, now, this 334 00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:43,440 Speaker 1: is not a conclusion. We are not leaping to conclusions. 335 00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:47,400 Speaker 1: Stay with us we'll explain why and how we ought 336 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,400 Speaker 1: to come to a conclusion in a minute. Once you're 337 00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:51,880 Speaker 1: in that situation, who knows what was in her head 338 00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:54,760 Speaker 1: at the time. Once you're in that situation, which I 339 00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:56,919 Speaker 1: wouldn't get myself into, and I don't suggest you do 340 00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,520 Speaker 1: it either, But once you're in that situation and the 341 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,240 Speaker 1: guy's happening on your door handle and people are shouting, 342 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:04,880 Speaker 1: and she was probably looking at the window and hit 343 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:06,639 Speaker 1: the gas and doesn't even know there was somebody in 344 00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:09,840 Speaker 1: for her. Who knows, right, as opposed to intentionally trying 345 00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:11,840 Speaker 1: to run over the guy? Who knows? At that point, 346 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:15,960 Speaker 1: I don't right, We don't know. And that's a great point. 347 00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:20,080 Speaker 1: Some of the reactions online, as you might guess, are well, 348 00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:22,720 Speaker 1: I have coined the term, or unless you did last 349 00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:27,119 Speaker 1: night rorshock shooting, it's just like Michael Brown and a 350 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:31,720 Speaker 1: dozen other ones. Just people immediately rushed to their prior attitudes, 351 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:36,680 Speaker 1: which is fine. Let's see this is Dion who he says, 352 00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:38,240 Speaker 1: folks are going to keep this real simple. If you 353 00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:39,679 Speaker 1: park in the middle of the street in block law 354 00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:42,040 Speaker 1: enforcement they have the right to detain you for an infraction. 355 00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 1: It's done on purpose, it's a crime. If they're legally 356 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:46,240 Speaker 1: detaining you and you try to get away, you have 357 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:49,200 Speaker 1: now committed a crime. Phenosopher's officers in front of your vehicle. 358 00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:50,960 Speaker 1: You drive forward, Well, he's here in front of you. 359 00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:53,720 Speaker 1: It can be considered a clear hostile act and assault 360 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:55,680 Speaker 1: with deadly weapon because the vehicle has the potential blah 361 00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:58,080 Speaker 1: blah blah, which can lead to a law enforcement officer 362 00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,159 Speaker 1: using deadly force to prevent you from hitting him or 363 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,119 Speaker 1: potentially killing anyone else. If you don't want that to 364 00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:04,199 Speaker 1: happen for you, for your safety and the safety off 365 00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:10,000 Speaker 1: the officers, don't do that. Then this She was protesting 366 00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:12,720 Speaker 1: with her vehicle and then hit officer with vehicle. She 367 00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,400 Speaker 1: is a moron and now she is dead. I don't 368 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:17,919 Speaker 1: know how helpful that is. Then you have this. She 369 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,000 Speaker 1: was sitting in her car allowing others to go by 370 00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,560 Speaker 1: harming nobody, waved to the officers for their car to 371 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,760 Speaker 1: go buy two instead, masked officers drove up, started cursing 372 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:28,960 Speaker 1: at her. The officers escalated, escalated in the first place, 373 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:35,560 Speaker 1: Why and then one final one? Oh, this is provocative, friends, 374 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:39,640 Speaker 1: it's kind off the topic. But I thought, hmm, if 375 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:44,080 Speaker 1: the Capitol police had abided by the standards of MAGA 376 00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:48,359 Speaker 1: commentators on the Minneapolis ice shooting, half of the January 377 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:51,080 Speaker 1: sixth protesters would have been shot to death. Oh that's 378 00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:55,080 Speaker 1: a good one. That is provocative. What if the lady 379 00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:58,760 Speaker 1: in question had been beating the ice officers with a flagpole? 380 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:04,840 Speaker 1: What then, folks? You get consistency here. I know there's 381 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:09,320 Speaker 1: not a lot of that these days. That's a good one. Yeah, anyway, 382 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 1: it decides nothing about this case, of course, no, but 383 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:16,800 Speaker 1: that is that is good. The free press, with a 384 00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:21,760 Speaker 1: great article has often saying, uh, a lot of the 385 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,840 Speaker 1: definite of the things we've already said, then says the 386 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:29,000 Speaker 1: task of sorting through and weighing ambiguous evidence belongs to police, investigators, 387 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:32,120 Speaker 1: government commissions, judges, and jurors. Each step of the process 388 00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:36,120 Speaker 1: requires time and deliberation. While the investigations progress, selected officials 389 00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:38,680 Speaker 1: and agency heads are expected to comment only on what's 390 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:42,600 Speaker 1: known for certain, while reassuring the public in mourning the dead. Unfortunately, 391 00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:45,200 Speaker 1: too many politicians and senior bureaucrats have decided they must 392 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:47,440 Speaker 1: react every tragedy according to the speed and logic of 393 00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:50,440 Speaker 1: the Internet, which goes them to offer the most partisan take. 394 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:53,080 Speaker 1: They can muster as quickly as possible lest the other 395 00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:56,399 Speaker 1: side's narratives sway the public. First, they spread falsehoods and 396 00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:59,720 Speaker 1: baseless conclusions with no apparent remarks, right sees. That's the 397 00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:01,960 Speaker 1: whole race to the bottom thing that I'm always talking 398 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:03,480 Speaker 1: about that I don't know how we break out of 399 00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:07,200 Speaker 1: because we are in an environment where, if you go 400 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:12,320 Speaker 1: with the grown up, it just happened. Loss of life 401 00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,960 Speaker 1: is always troubling. But there's an investigation going on. I've 402 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,640 Speaker 1: only seen a video briefly. We're gonna take a long 403 00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:20,960 Speaker 1: look at it. If you do that and the other 404 00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:24,679 Speaker 1: side goes with it was murder and gets everybody all 405 00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:28,480 Speaker 1: whipped up, you're in a bad shape politically already, or 406 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:32,800 Speaker 1: the reverse. So that's the race to the bottom. You 407 00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 1: think the other side's gonna immediately brand it something, so 408 00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:40,360 Speaker 1: you've got to. Yeah, Mayor Freyfryes said the ugly tone 409 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:42,800 Speaker 1: in the now famous conference. I have a message or Ice, 410 00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:45,280 Speaker 1: get the f out of Minneapolis. We do not want 411 00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:47,600 Speaker 1: you here. Blah blah blah. I would like to stop 412 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:49,920 Speaker 1: them right there. All right, So we have federal law, 413 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:53,040 Speaker 1: we have federal law enforcement. We have people in violation 414 00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:55,160 Speaker 1: of federal law, and the federal law enforcement is trying 415 00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:57,119 Speaker 1: to enforce the federal law. Why would they get the 416 00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:00,639 Speaker 1: f out of Minneapolis. Why exactly to the law, not 417 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:04,760 Speaker 1: according to your feelings, according to the law. Well, they're 418 00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:08,399 Speaker 1: a sanctuary city. They don't believe that that exists. And 419 00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:12,439 Speaker 1: then you got Christinome covering herself in glory, who in 420 00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:14,760 Speaker 1: her early press conference at LISTA they got stuck in 421 00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:17,080 Speaker 1: the snow because the ad adverse weather. As we heard, 422 00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:19,040 Speaker 1: they were attempting to push out their vehicle and the 423 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:24,320 Speaker 1: woman attacked them. All right, that's so just not helpful. 424 00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:31,720 Speaker 1: No details, Yeah, I know. Oh that's rough. Okay, here's 425 00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:36,320 Speaker 1: the situation. If you want to take an overall moral 426 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:42,359 Speaker 1: view of the situation, whether this woman was a stupid, 427 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:47,840 Speaker 1: self righteous lefty who is playing the brave revolutionary and 428 00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,680 Speaker 1: in that adolescent way of so many people on the left, 429 00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:54,600 Speaker 1: not knowing that she was doing something very serious. And 430 00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:57,080 Speaker 1: then when things having pushed it and pushed it and 431 00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,960 Speaker 1: pushed it, when things went south, everybody's like, oh my god. 432 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,719 Speaker 1: The cruel cops, the cruel cops, including some people we 433 00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:05,840 Speaker 1: like in respect. You know, you've got a good point. 434 00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 1: There's a good way. I didn't get shot by ICE 435 00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:11,719 Speaker 1: yesterday for a very good reason. Not only did I 436 00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:14,240 Speaker 1: not do what she did, I wouldn't do what she did. 437 00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:17,199 Speaker 1: There are a hundred things she could have done to 438 00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:21,400 Speaker 1: protest ICE and its policies and the law and its procedures, 439 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:26,520 Speaker 1: and not done what she did. On the other hand, 440 00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:28,840 Speaker 1: the cop could have, having been hit, jumped out of 441 00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:30,199 Speaker 1: the way and let her drive away. They could have 442 00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:33,520 Speaker 1: caught her later. That's true too. So what question are 443 00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:36,920 Speaker 1: we trying to answer here? I don't know what question 444 00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:40,840 Speaker 1: are you trying to answer here? Was the ICE officer 445 00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:46,919 Speaker 1: legally in the right to shoot the woman? That's a 446 00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:52,680 Speaker 1: different question than the whole scenario as it unfolded. Who 447 00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:56,200 Speaker 1: was being moral and who was being immoral? And the 448 00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 1: problem is, and again I thought we used to have 449 00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:02,199 Speaker 1: a grip on this as a society. The question is 450 00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:05,600 Speaker 1: those can be two very different questions with two very 451 00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:10,960 Speaker 1: different answers. Well, I think at the root of most 452 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:17,800 Speaker 1: of the stuff is you would look at it like 453 00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:24,440 Speaker 1: she got killed because Trump is out of control. Ice 454 00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:27,120 Speaker 1: is out of control, and this hole trying to kick 455 00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:30,199 Speaker 1: out the illegals thing is wrong, and they're Nazis and 456 00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:34,320 Speaker 1: they're Nazis, or we got to kick out all the illegals. 457 00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:37,240 Speaker 1: We shouldn't let so many illegals in. Ice has got 458 00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:39,840 Speaker 1: to do its job, so it's justified. So it doesn't 459 00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:43,560 Speaker 1: even get down to the particulars of the moment that 460 00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:46,359 Speaker 1: ten second period. It's just do you agree with the 461 00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:51,639 Speaker 1: policy or not? Yeah? Yeah, So I'm looking at the 462 00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:56,720 Speaker 1: clock and trying to praise the interest of anybody, including 463 00:27:56,840 --> 00:28:00,840 Speaker 1: you folks, in the actual legal quest uestion in front 464 00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:04,399 Speaker 1: of us. Does anybody have any interest in that? There 465 00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:06,840 Speaker 1: are some people, That's what I said. That's my point. Really, 466 00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:10,720 Speaker 1: I just yeah, I'm not sure they do. It's handy 467 00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:14,199 Speaker 1: to pretend you do. But what you're really saying is 468 00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:17,760 Speaker 1: you don't like Trump's policy at all. Right, right, But 469 00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:19,919 Speaker 1: how about folks on the conservative side of the issue, 470 00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:23,080 Speaker 1: generally speaking, Yeah, generally speaking, who are in support of 471 00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:26,200 Speaker 1: the shooting. I would say that if you think it's 472 00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:32,119 Speaker 1: impossible for cops to do something wrong, you're you're nuts. 473 00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:35,359 Speaker 1: And if you think the cops are always wrong in 474 00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:39,280 Speaker 1: these shootings, you're nuts. Yeah, I would agree. Yeah, And 475 00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:41,240 Speaker 1: there's those of you who think cops can never do 476 00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:44,560 Speaker 1: anything wrong. You don't know any cops. They'll tell you, yes, yeah, 477 00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:46,440 Speaker 1: we do. One of the problems is there's a difference 478 00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:49,160 Speaker 1: between making a mistake in the blink of an eye 479 00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:52,080 Speaker 1: of decision making. There's a difference between making a mistake 480 00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:55,479 Speaker 1: and something it's like malicious. And that's the tough part 481 00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:57,840 Speaker 1: of being a comp all right. Well, given the lack 482 00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:00,720 Speaker 1: of interest in the actual law here and whether the 483 00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:03,640 Speaker 1: shooting was actually justified, I probably spent more time than 484 00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:08,040 Speaker 1: I should have in researching the actual law, specifically in Minnesota, 485 00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:10,320 Speaker 1: that deals with all of this stuff. I will tell 486 00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:14,040 Speaker 1: you this, driving your car at an officer in a 487 00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:18,640 Speaker 1: way that could hurt or kill them is absolutely assault 488 00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:22,840 Speaker 1: with a deadly weapon against the peace officer. The penalties 489 00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:26,320 Speaker 1: are rather severe. It is unquestionably use of deadly force. 490 00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:28,800 Speaker 1: But I saw that, I saw that portrayed in one 491 00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:32,719 Speaker 1: of the lefty news outlets yesterday as like rolling their eyes, 492 00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:36,360 Speaker 1: like courts have determined that using your car, driving your 493 00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:38,200 Speaker 1: car forward with an officer in front of you is 494 00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:40,760 Speaker 1: assault with a deadly weapon. Like that's just nuts to 495 00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:44,960 Speaker 1: make that what what? How was a car not a 496 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:49,520 Speaker 1: deadly weapon? Yeah? Wow? Okay, So then you get into 497 00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:53,640 Speaker 1: the law governing the police use a deadly force in Minnesota, 498 00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:56,760 Speaker 1: and I don't know exactly how that intersects with federal 499 00:29:56,800 --> 00:30:00,479 Speaker 1: law since it was federal law enforcements on a federal mission. 500 00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:04,680 Speaker 1: But here's the key point. A peace officer may use 501 00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:07,640 Speaker 1: deadly force only when necessary to protect the officer or 502 00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:10,680 Speaker 1: another person from imminent death or great bodily harm. Or 503 00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:14,440 Speaker 1: and here's the key part, to arrest or prevent the 504 00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:18,280 Speaker 1: escape of a person the officer reasonably believes has committed 505 00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:22,720 Speaker 1: or attempted a felony involving deadly force, and the officer 506 00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:25,719 Speaker 1: reasonably believes the person will cause death or great bodily 507 00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:31,040 Speaker 1: harm if not immediately apprehended. That's what needs to be 508 00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:36,960 Speaker 1: looked at and adjudicated and thought about carefully. A friend 509 00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:38,840 Speaker 1: of the show who is in law enforcement and who 510 00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:41,680 Speaker 1: has friends in ice, texted me last night where I 511 00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:44,200 Speaker 1: was going to bed about the multiple crimes she had 512 00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:47,240 Speaker 1: committed throughout the day. If you're going to be technical 513 00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:51,120 Speaker 1: about it before you even get to the card there, 514 00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:53,040 Speaker 1: and that's so maybe we can talk about that a 515 00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:55,240 Speaker 1: little bit later. We got mail bag on the way 516 00:30:55,240 --> 00:31:00,240 Speaker 1: and lots of stuff to talk about holy crap, we 517 00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:03,280 Speaker 1: might have fifty dollars a barrel oil as far as 518 00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:06,440 Speaker 1: the eye can see now that we've taken Venezuela. Based 519 00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:08,680 Speaker 1: on a couple of news reports out today and Trump's 520 00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:11,120 Speaker 1: plans over the next couple of years, that'd be something gas. 521 00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:13,960 Speaker 1: It would be great and terrible. Guess will be pretty 522 00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:16,800 Speaker 1: cheap except for in California. Not good for the electric 523 00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:20,600 Speaker 1: car industry. Those are all kinds of interesting ripples from this. 524 00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:25,560 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, not good for anybody in the energy industry. 525 00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:27,840 Speaker 1: And there's a hell of a lot of people like that. Anyway, 526 00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:30,200 Speaker 1: more on that to come. Here's your freedom hating quote 527 00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:33,080 Speaker 1: of today, sort of kind of, I'm departing from the theme. 528 00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:37,960 Speaker 1: It's a great quote from Friedrich Hayek about to term 529 00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:43,840 Speaker 1: social justice, which he believed was a piece of deceptive 530 00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:47,680 Speaker 1: news speak straight out of orwell used to advance large 531 00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:50,720 Speaker 1: scale injustice. Sounds like of justice. Seems like it to 532 00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:52,960 Speaker 1: me in most cases. Oh yeah, one hundred percent. And 533 00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:56,480 Speaker 1: here's what Hayak said, social justice does not belong to 534 00:31:56,520 --> 00:32:00,200 Speaker 1: the category of error that phrase, but to that out 535 00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:07,800 Speaker 1: of nonsense, like the term moral stone. It's nonsense. The 536 00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:12,560 Speaker 1: term moral justice or a social justice. There's either justice 537 00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:16,920 Speaker 1: or injustice. Social justice is Marxism. Mail bag, that's a 538 00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:19,680 Speaker 1: good point. Drop us a note mail bag at Armstrong 539 00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:21,640 Speaker 1: in giddy dot com. Is the email address?

It was 543 00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:36,680 Speaker 1: at the nine o'clock hour we discussed that fascinating old 544 00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:41,120 Speaker 1: timey bar entertainment in New Orleans our four segment one, 545 00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:44,520 Speaker 1: Thank you Katie. This is on the topic of whether 546 00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:48,760 Speaker 1: Britgee McCrone is a man or not. I think they 547 00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:53,040 Speaker 1: should have Brigitque macron do a Hamdkick live on the television. 548 00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:56,880 Speaker 1: That's all I have, Tyler, PS, great show, PS, great email. 549 00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:59,280 Speaker 1: Tyler learned about a bar in New Orleans who used 550 00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:01,280 Speaker 1: to have something called the ham Kick. That's who it 551 00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:05,440 Speaker 1: was famous for. You gotta listen to yesterday's show, January 552 00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:09,760 Speaker 1: seventh hour four.

The US is already 560 00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:32,280 Speaker 1: very wealthy, and we carry the biggest stick if you 561 00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:34,760 Speaker 1: could pick one. This is the better hemisphere for many reasons. 562 00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:37,000 Speaker 1: We value freedom. There are many countries that are lucky 563 00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:39,160 Speaker 1: to be living in our sphere of influence. Trump is 564 00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:42,280 Speaker 1: chasing the rats out of Rome and clearly drawing lines 565 00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:44,240 Speaker 1: about who's in charge on this side of the rock. 566 00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:47,320 Speaker 1: That's why he's about right about Greenland. Also not because 567 00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:50,920 Speaker 1: of rats. It's there to protect the flank an old 568 00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:55,440 Speaker 1: timey self interest following I tend to agree we can 569 00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:58,320 Speaker 1: discuss more later. Slow news day hunt. Does anybody care 570 00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:01,560 Speaker 1: about protesters anymore? Tim Watson's people want to burn their 571 00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:03,640 Speaker 1: city down? Who are we'd argue with that? Can't say 572 00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:06,040 Speaker 1: whether the shooting's justifight or not. Don't have all the facts, 573 00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:07,960 Speaker 1: and I don't know the law concerning the use deadly 574 00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:10,120 Speaker 1: fourth for us. These people don't want facts. They hate 575 00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:12,759 Speaker 1: Trump and ice fu and your facts. Can we talk 576 00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:15,680 Speaker 1: about Iran, somemore, Yes, and we will talk about Iran 577 00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:19,480 Speaker 1: and the shooting next hour. But I want to use 578 00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:22,960 Speaker 1: that to set this up. Katie in La says, guys, 579 00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:25,160 Speaker 1: I can tell you that the Iranian community in La, 580 00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:27,799 Speaker 1: around the world is on pins and needles, hoping that 581 00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:30,919 Speaker 1: the Iyatolas are next on Trump's list, praying that Trump 582 00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:32,719 Speaker 1: will do the same thing to them as he did 583 00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:36,319 Speaker 1: to Meduro. Yes, you heard me, ignorant lefties. We want 584 00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:38,200 Speaker 1: the US to come in and save our country from 585 00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:42,400 Speaker 1: the clutches of evil dictators. I don't think we're probably 586 00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:46,640 Speaker 1: gonna do that a rendition of the Iyahtola, but he 587 00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:50,000 Speaker 1: may fall just at the hands of his own people. Finally, 588 00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:52,239 Speaker 1: this from Eric red Dye number forty Smith in a 589 00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:54,719 Speaker 1: story of Oregon.
