I mean, 70 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 4: that's that's a pretty big statement. I mean, if you 71 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 4: heard about Vietnam and Iraq and a bunch of other 72 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 4: different things that went on since World War Two ended, 73 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 4: that's that's quite a thing to say. 74 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 1: And certainly Marco Rubio is there to execute the president's 75 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 1: foreign policy.

I mean, 90 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,840 Speaker 4: just back bookends of a very romantic weekend dressed. 91 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 1: Like Lincoln again, Honey, you know I love that so disturbing. 92 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 1: Sunday was rough, so I guess to preview Sunday's night 93 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 1: horrific sixty Minutes on Face the Nation earlier that day, 94 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 1: on Margaret Brennan actually said the phrase, you know, in 95 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 1: Germany in the thirties, free speech was weaponized for a genocide. Yes, 96 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 1: she came out anti free speech, and apparently CBS is 97 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 1: anti free speech as Later that nine, on sixty Minutes, 98 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:21,360 Speaker 1: they aired an entire episode about how Germany's cracking down 99 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:25,919 Speaker 1: on free speech from a isn't this cool standpoint? You 100 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,159 Speaker 1: know this isn't aside, but I almost wish it hadn't 101 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 1: been two CBS products that both unmasked themselves in the 102 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,720 Speaker 1: same way, because it's the mask coming off, I think 103 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 1: is the main message to take from the weekend. There 104 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:43,359 Speaker 1: are in Europe and in the United States prominent forces 105 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:48,719 Speaker 1: that are every bit as enthusiastic about eliminating misinformation and 106 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 1: disinformation as they were during COVID, and guess who they 107 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:56,920 Speaker 1: think ought to decide what's misinformation that you probably shouldn't hear. 108 00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:00,720 Speaker 1: They'd be delighted to take that job themselves. And it 109 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:06,279 Speaker 1: is now. It's funny. Another design heard a great interview 110 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 1: with an author who's got a book out about how 111 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 1: everybody's tribal and political all the time now and it's 112 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,719 Speaker 1: not healthy. You ought not be thinking about politics twenty 113 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 1: four hours a day. It's just weird. It's never been 114 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,040 Speaker 1: the way it is in this country except in times 115 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 1: of great crisis. And I thought, you know, that's a 116 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 1: really good point there. But when you have again major 117 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:30,280 Speaker 1: societal forces saying, you know, free speech, let's reconsider that. 118 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 1: I don't know. 119 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:33,719 Speaker 2: I'm at my battle station. 120 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 4: Sorry, yeah, I'm staying here.

I thought you're overstating him. But man, after Sunday, 123 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,120 Speaker 4: I thought, holy crap, this might be the battle of 124 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:46,839 Speaker 4: my lifetime. 125 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:52,679 Speaker 1: This is crazy.

That's a really big deal, really big deal. 188 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,240 Speaker 4: We should start the show. Officially, I'm Jack Armstrong. He's 189 00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 4: Joe Getty on this. It is Tuesday, February eighteenth, the 190 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:07,560 Speaker 4: year twenty twenty five. 191 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,320 Speaker 1: Or Armstrong in getting we approve of this program. Let's 192 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,960 Speaker 1: begin uncensored according to de FCC rules and regulations. 193 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:15,200 Speaker 2: Here we go at Mark. 194 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:16,959 Speaker 1: Germany is cracking down. 195 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,800 Speaker 5: It's all the online, it's who's new theory. We were 196 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:23,080 Speaker 5: with the German police as they conducted early morning raids 197 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:26,680 Speaker 5: on citizens who had been accused of hate speech, threats 198 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:30,320 Speaker 5: and inciting violence online. In the United States, A lot 199 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,439 Speaker 5: of people look at this and say this is restricting 200 00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 5: free speech. 201 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:42,560 Speaker 1: It's a threat to democracy. Free speech needs boundaries, and 202 00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:46,079 Speaker 1: they'll helpfully impose those boundaries where they think it's appropriate. 203 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:49,320 Speaker 4: Right, and then the obvious question is, Okay, who's going 204 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:53,319 Speaker 4: to draw the boundaries? Oh you are? Oh okay, Well, 205 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:55,320 Speaker 4: you realize you're not always going to be in charge. 206 00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 4: You're going to be comfortable with where Trump draws the boundaries, 207 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,040 Speaker 4: or whoever it is you don't like when they're in charge. 208 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 2: Right. 209 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:04,760 Speaker 1: Well, and again, I hate to even go to that 210 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,440 Speaker 1: argument because the argument and principle is good enough. But 211 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,199 Speaker 1: I think Vance's point. We'll play you some excerpts from it. 212 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:14,840 Speaker 1: His speech is, his point on a practical level, was 213 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 1: really good and if those dopey Euros would listen to it, 214 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:21,079 Speaker 1: they'd be better off for it. He's saying to them, listen, 215 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:26,000 Speaker 1: you are stifling a significant and growing portion of your 216 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:30,439 Speaker 1: population from telling you what they need and what they want. 217 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 1: This will blow up in your face, and it will. 218 00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 1: He's absolutely right, it's already happening. 219 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,240 Speaker 4: Damned interesting stuff anyway, got a bunch of clips from 220 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,280 Speaker 4: Saturday Night Lives Big fifty year anniversary which I watched 221 00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 4: all of them, thought was absolutely fantastic.

He's obviously made that decision. But anyway, 258 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:26,080 Speaker 1: I'm much more concerned with what he does in terms of, 259 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:30,560 Speaker 1: you know, his official capacities.

Oh, Jerry Baker's absolutely terrific 276 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:13,160 Speaker 1: with Wall Street Journal. 277 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:17,040 Speaker 2: But he's talking about how the left. 278 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:19,920 Speaker 1: Came out and were bellowing into microphones and screeching about 279 00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,480 Speaker 1: how unfair it was that any federal employees should lose 280 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:25,120 Speaker 1: their jobs, and he writes it was a tableau for 281 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,840 Speaker 1: the ages one an example of the many strange battle 282 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 1: lines the Democratic Party has chosen. 283 00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:30,920 Speaker 2: To defend these past few years. 284 00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 1: Illegal migrants over citizens, teachers' unions over parents and children, 285 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:40,920 Speaker 1: criminals over victims, men turned women. That doesn't, that can't happen, 286 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 1: Transgender people over girls. Good luck with that, Democrats. You 287 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:48,120 Speaker 1: might want to fire your polsters. It's like that, so 288 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:51,520 Speaker 1: I wanted to share it. Elon Musk responding to a 289 00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:56,080 Speaker 1: different section of the absolutely idiotically dishonest sixty minutes yesterday, 290 00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:59,040 Speaker 1: and that was the first story about the absolute tragedy 291 00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 1: of canceling funding for USA, even for a few minutes 292 00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:07,040 Speaker 1: as it gets reformed, and one of the more prominent 293 00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:11,480 Speaker 1: quotes was a woman crying that twelve days ago people 294 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:14,200 Speaker 1: knew where their next paycheck was coming from, they knew 295 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:16,120 Speaker 1: how they were gonna pay for their kids' daycare, their 296 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:20,560 Speaker 1: medical bills. Then all gone overnight, said Christine Dry, who 297 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:24,320 Speaker 1: was fired, says Elon Musk sixty minutes. There're such liars, 298 00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,960 Speaker 1: as the community notes states all employees were offered eight 299 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:31,480 Speaker 1: months of paying benefits. Even without that. You know who 300 00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:36,400 Speaker 1: else finds out with no notice that they're fired and 301 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,680 Speaker 1: the walked out to their car and wonder what they're 302 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:44,480 Speaker 1: gonna do. Everybody else all the time, I don't understand this, 303 00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 1: and I thought this was so interesting from the Wall 304 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:50,160 Speaker 1: Street Wall Street Journal. It was not intentionally this way, 305 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,840 Speaker 1: but the headline is Trump layoffs push federal workers into 306 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:58,080 Speaker 1: tough job hunt, and they mentioned that federal workers skew 307 00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 1: older than those in the private sector, and their long 308 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:05,760 Speaker 1: bureaucratic experience often makes them less competitive applicants for corporate roles. 309 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:09,000 Speaker 1: According to career coaches and recruiters. 310 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,320 Speaker 4: In other words, they are without skills the world needs. 311 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:17,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's funny. There are other sentences in here.

It's Marxism. It 398 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:55,040 Speaker 1: has nothing to do with actual racism anyway. That's just crazy. 399 00:20:55,320 --> 00:21:01,240 Speaker 1: Good lord. The size of the theft is just practically 400 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:04,200 Speaker 1: beyond comprehension, which is part of what they're counting on. 401 00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 1: Speaking of Doge shies, show, Bob, all right, I can't 402 00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,080 Speaker 1: wait until Doge gets around to the three hundred plus 403 00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:13,159 Speaker 1: million dollars in free federal money that Tesla took, not 404 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:16,240 Speaker 1: to mention the subsidies for buying one. Oh wait, never mind. 405 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:19,800 Speaker 1: I really do hate hypocrisy, Bob. You're normally you find 406 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,840 Speaker 1: and humorous correspondent. I think you're one hundred percent wrong 407 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:24,879 Speaker 1: on that. And it's not just because I like what 408 00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:28,520 Speaker 1: Doge is doing. If the federal government is doling out 409 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:32,640 Speaker 1: billions of dollars in subsidies for electric cars, and I'm 410 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:37,320 Speaker 1: an electric car maker, I say, okay, write me the check. Well, 411 00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,200 Speaker 1: is he supposed to turn it down because someday Doge 412 00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:41,760 Speaker 1: would try to eliminate waste. 413 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 4: And then try to compete against other electric cars.

Wow, you're nuts. Let's see this from Michael, 450 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:26,840 Speaker 1: who took a break from talk radio and political stuff 451 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:31,359 Speaker 1: because of the turbulent times and anger and Trump and 452 00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:34,959 Speaker 1: all sorts of stuff. It's fascinating how far apart the 453 00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,679 Speaker 1: interpretations of each party's actions can be. It's like we 454 00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:39,720 Speaker 1: all watched the same movie and one side came away 455 00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:41,639 Speaker 1: thinking it was a western and the other thought it 456 00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,200 Speaker 1: was sci fi. There's no common ground to be had. 457 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:49,120 Speaker 4: That's not really an exaggeration. Well, what a great romantic comedy. 458 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 4: It was a war movie. It was a romantic comedy. 459 00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:53,959 Speaker 4: It was a war movie. 460 00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:56,680 Speaker 1: Yeah. I'm gonna not be specific about this sort of 461 00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:58,919 Speaker 1: stuff for obvious reasons, but two of my kids live 462 00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,479 Speaker 1: in the Pacific Northway, and they and the people who 463 00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:06,960 Speaker 1: they hang out with, they don't get a lot of 464 00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:12,680 Speaker 1: differing political inputs in that part of the country, and 465 00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:14,720 Speaker 1: so once in a while they would say something and 466 00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:16,720 Speaker 1: I would say, you know, I don't actually see it 467 00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:21,359 Speaker 1: that way, And that was a first for them and 468 00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:25,280 Speaker 1: their friends in certain ways, what do you mean? And 469 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,119 Speaker 1: some of the information and again we didn't talk about 470 00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:32,320 Speaker 1: politics much at all intentionally, but some of the information 471 00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:35,720 Speaker 1: was completely new to them. They'd watched a western, I'd 472 00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:38,159 Speaker 1: watched a sci fi movie. Actually I watched both for 473 00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:41,040 Speaker 1: a living. But anyway, and then Michael says, I suppose 474 00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:43,520 Speaker 1: you guys have become conditioned like first responders, where you're 475 00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:45,399 Speaker 1: able to leave the horrors you see every day at 476 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:47,280 Speaker 1: work and go on with your lives. Maybe they should 477 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:49,760 Speaker 1: start teaching that skill in school too, because I certainly 478 00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 1: don't have it.

Yes, i'd be a very valuable skill. 485 00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:08,919 Speaker 1: First of all, just introducing the idea to people of 486 00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:11,919 Speaker 1: you need to take in news from multiple sources with 487 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,520 Speaker 1: multiple points of view to have the slightest idea what's 488 00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:16,320 Speaker 1: going on right? 489 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:17,760 Speaker 2: Right? Absolutely? 490 00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:19,680 Speaker 1: I mean it's so easy to draw out a scenario 491 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:24,439 Speaker 1: where it's the facts presented would lead you quite confidently 492 00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:28,399 Speaker 1: to one conclusion. I've merely by leaving out the countervailing facts, 493 00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:33,320 Speaker 1: you come to a wildly incorrect conclusion, highly questionable. I've 494 00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:37,560 Speaker 1: got friends in both different bubbles that have completely different 495 00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:42,240 Speaker 1: worldviews because of that, and in my opinion, they both 496 00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:45,480 Speaker 1: benefit from a little sprinkling of the other side, just 497 00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:48,439 Speaker 1: for perspective. Plus, as I've said many times to me, 498 00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:52,199 Speaker 1: it's like not coming up against ideas you disagree with his, 499 00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:57,600 Speaker 1: like not exercising, not lifting weights, your intellectual muscles atrophy. 500 00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:02,320 Speaker 1: You just become you know, playing on your intellectual couch, 501 00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:06,760 Speaker 1: you don't feel weak, but the minute you come up 502 00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:09,879 Speaker 1: against something, you realize how weak you are. It. 503 00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:13,879 Speaker 4: I just don't think it's healthy laying on my intellectual couch. 504 00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:16,840 Speaker 1: It's a metaphor again, So this. 505 00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:18,760 Speaker 4: One is a metaphor, unlike the guy who got swallowed 506 00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:21,680 Speaker 4: by the whale, who actually got swallowed by a whale. 507 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,560 Speaker 1: I swear to God you presented it as a metaphor.
