Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe.
Speaker 2: Kaddy arms Strong and Jetty and he is Armstrong and Eddy.
Speaker 2: You know that click.
Speaker 3: We play every Monday morning one Grammy Last Night for
Speaker 3: best fifth grade band in a live call performance.
Speaker 2: It is exquisite at.
Speaker 3: A middle school. What is the point of us playing
Speaker 3: that every Monday?
Speaker 2: Some sort of.
Speaker 3: Do you keep trying doing your best?
Speaker 2: I don't believe in explaining art. It is what it is.
Speaker 2: Live from Studio C, New York. Hey, Dimli that room
Speaker 2: deep it in the bowels.
Speaker 3: Of the Armstrong and Getty Communications Compound, kicking off a
Speaker 3: brand new week. It's Monday, and today we are under
Speaker 3: the tutelage of our general manager. The power of the tariff.
Speaker 3: Beyonce is the sheriff DNC. Don't care if my fontese
Speaker 3: sounds serif Yo wow again Art. We are an artsy
Speaker 3: show that's right for the next three hundred and thirty
Speaker 3: days of the year. So I'm gonna wrap the general manager.
Speaker 2: We're not the.
Speaker 3: Banana tape to the wall. That is the rock station
Speaker 3: Morning showdown the hall. No hell, no banana tape.
Speaker 2: To the wall.
Speaker 3: You already looking at you with Ryman Fonts, with Beyonce.
Speaker 3: That's something. Tomorrow's Tariff Tuesday that kicks off tomorrow. You
Speaker 3: talk about a topic I don't know much about. There's
Speaker 3: one too bad. That's the big story in America because
Speaker 3: I'm the wrong guy to talk to. I watched the
Speaker 3: guy in sixty minutes last night. They talked to They
Speaker 3: talked to the guy who's being seen as the orchestrator
Speaker 3: of the whole thing, the whole theory that Trump is into.
Speaker 3: Guy started in the Reagan administration and uh, and Trump's
Speaker 3: been talking about tariff forever because of this dude and
Speaker 3: the way he explaining it sounds fantastic.
Speaker 2: It's all gonna turn out great.
Speaker 3: It seems to me, though, would take a lot of
Speaker 3: political will to put up with pain for a long
Speaker 3: time for it to turn out great, even best case scenario.
Speaker 3: And the fundamental problem with that plan is Trump only
Speaker 3: it gets one turn right right uns he becomes a tictator.
Speaker 3: You know what, Jad answer something might take the baton
Speaker 3: and run with it. But and we can talk more
Speaker 3: about this later, obviously, But to on shore, like a
Speaker 3: huge portion of manufacturing, like I think Trump is dreaming of. Yeah,
Speaker 3: would take an extremely long time, a complete restructuring of
Speaker 3: the economy, right, which might be a good thing, but yeah,
Speaker 3: that would take It would take a long time, and
Speaker 3: there'd be a lot of pain in the interim. Like
Speaker 3: they were just talking on Fox and Friends with redoing
Speaker 3: the whole lumber industry, where we have plenty of trees,
Speaker 3: specifically in the Northwest, but because of all kinds of
Speaker 3: regulations we have in this country, and how cheap the
Speaker 3: lumber is in Canada. You know, they dominate the lumber
Speaker 3: industry and could switch that around where we are like
Speaker 3: supplying our own lumber the way we could supply our
Speaker 3: own gas. But it ain't gonna happen in a month
Speaker 3: or six months. No, I don't know if it could
Speaker 3: happen in six years to like you said, to redo
Speaker 3: an entire industry, and you made the point that you
Speaker 3: know it'll cause pain, and that cannot be like put
Speaker 3: aside as a non factor. The pain would be much
Speaker 3: higher prices for many goods that are fundamental to the economy.
Speaker 2: Well what it would just be shocking.
Speaker 3: One of the problems with this story is all stories
Speaker 3: is the media has great interest in making it seem
Speaker 3: like it's a terrible thing if Trump's sport, So to
Speaker 3: what extent they're exaggerating or finding the economists they can
Speaker 3: find that are screaming the scariest stuff. I'm sure they are,
Speaker 3: But for instance, I heard some economists yesterday said gas
Speaker 3: is likely to go up.
Speaker 2: Sixty cents a gallon.
Speaker 3: If gas jumps sixty cents a gallon, I don't know
Speaker 3: how many people are gonna stick with the.
Speaker 2: Plan right right, not to mention groceries.
Speaker 3: The first place folks are going to feel it is
Speaker 3: at the grocery store, and that's many. Many people are
Speaker 3: already at the end of their tether grocery price wise,
Speaker 3: And it's just I don't know. I think it's insane
Speaker 3: the way he's going about it, unless he has a
Speaker 3: serious curveball in mind. In a week from now, the
Speaker 3: whole thing looks very different, which is always possible with Trump.
Speaker 3: If he goes through with the plans as he's described them,
Speaker 3: I think it will be the giant misstep that derails
Speaker 3: his presidency, loses both houses Congress. Well, isn't his goal
Speaker 3: that we're such the big gorilla that they back down
Speaker 3: and do what he wants, isn't that there he had?
Speaker 3: The weird part is, though he's not really talking about trade,
Speaker 3: he's talking about Canada and Mexico limiting illegal immigrants and
Speaker 3: fentanyl into the country. Well, the Canadian border gives us
Speaker 3: one percent of our illegal immigrants and one and a
Speaker 3: half percent of the fentanyl that makes it into the work.
Speaker 3: He has to do that because he doesn't otherwise have
Speaker 3: the legal authority to do the tariffs. He has to
Speaker 3: use this emergency law from nineteen seventy seven, and the
Speaker 3: emergency is fentanyl. Otherwise I don't think he can legally
Speaker 3: explain it. So I don't know how much of it is.
Speaker 3: Certainly on the southern border he can make that argument,
Speaker 3: but I don't know how much of the Canadian border.
Speaker 3: That's actually the truth. Here's a fascinating side. We should
Speaker 3: be creating our own hotucks. Why are we getting hockey
Speaker 3: pucks from Canada? We can produce hockey pucks in America. Certainly,
Speaker 3: what's in it? Rubber and rubber you gotta squeeze it
Speaker 3: so it's hard or something.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I'll look at I'll google it is Google American, Yes, good,
Speaker 3: good search American Huh, here's a fascinating side note just
Speaker 3: for lovers of liberty and have nothing to do with
Speaker 3: tariffs per se. Trump's perhaps overturned by the courts in
Speaker 3: the near future idea that we have a state of
Speaker 3: emergency with drugs and illegal immigrants, therefore need to impose
Speaker 3: giant trade tariffs on our biggest trading partners.
Speaker 2: It's a bit of a stretch, but that I believe
Speaker 2: is the.
Speaker 3: Thirty first different state of emergencies we're currently living under
Speaker 3: in the United States of America, where the government has
Speaker 3: to seize more power and extraordinary power because this is
Speaker 3: an emergency. Come on, well, doesn't the president still have
Speaker 3: the power to go to war practically anywhere because of
Speaker 3: nine to eleven?
Speaker 2: I think, does that one still hanging on? I don't know,
Speaker 2: and nobody knows. That's my point.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And as you know, as someone who personally witnessed
Speaker 3: the show full of people who personally witnessed, for instance,
Speaker 3: Gavin Newsom's utterly obscene, obscene abuse of the emergency power
Speaker 3: during the COVID and after anybody was ever thinking of COVID,
Speaker 3: he was still abusing that power. The idea of just
Speaker 3: regularly declaring emergencies and seizing grand new powers is appalling
Speaker 3: to me. Well, the Fedanel thing is pretty damn close
Speaker 3: to an emergency, and.
Speaker 2: I would agree. I would absolutely agree with that.
Speaker 3: And the biggest migration in world history that happened under Biden.
Speaker 3: If this ain't a mess, it'll do to the mess
Speaker 3: gets here. I mean, I don't know what the hell
Speaker 3: that was, but I don't do you need emergency powers
Speaker 3: to do so? Stop that or just enforce laws that
Speaker 3: already exist anyway, I would absolutely do that. My problem
Speaker 3: is mostly with Canada. You might as well punish New Zealand.
Speaker 2: Is Canada mad things? Freaking yea eating something or others?
Speaker 3: I don't know anything harbors right Old Zealand.
Speaker 2: Fine, New Zealand, I got my eye on you.
Speaker 3: I like, how about the the the up with illegal
Speaker 3: criminals protest in La yesterday that shut down the one
Speaker 3: on one How do we allow this to happen one
Speaker 3: of the major, most major thoroughfares in the entire country
Speaker 3: shut down people by people waving Mexican flags who apparently
Speaker 3: are up with keeping illegal criminals in the country. The
Speaker 3: hell you let a problem go long enough? You got
Speaker 3: a big problem we've got a big problem. God I
Speaker 3: wasna yipes, utter betrayal by administration after administration, I have
Speaker 3: We've been doing this for a long time, and it's
Speaker 3: been obvious to me for a long time that people
Speaker 3: react more to gas prices and practically anything else and
Speaker 3: uh a, in an emotional way that doesn't make sense often.
Speaker 3: But if gas jumps up sixty cents a gallon pretty quickly,
Speaker 3: over the staff thing, and I don't know if we
Speaker 3: will know, but if it did, it'd be interesting to
Speaker 3: watch the political wins. How long would the up with
Speaker 3: MAGA crowd put up with gas going up sixty cents
Speaker 3: a gallon or even twenty five cents a gallon, with
Speaker 3: a similar rise in a number of staples at the
Speaker 3: grocery store, people see their grocery bills get ten percent
Speaker 3: higher from the way they are right now at two
Speaker 3: hundred and thirty dollars. That makes you gas turns into
Speaker 3: two hundred and sixty or whatever. Excuse me, Spring is
Speaker 3: in bloom or something. I've got my four oh one
Speaker 3: k entirely in eggs right now, one all in on eggs, eggs,
Speaker 3: and in video that's me so far. It's doing early
Speaker 3: really well, let's start to show officially, shall we? How
Speaker 3: does Beyonce win Best Country Album? That's the best album? Fine,
Speaker 3: you know whatever, that's the best art is a difficult category.
Speaker 3: But best country album, I mean, kind we all kind
Speaker 3: of haven't I had deal what country sounds like doing?
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: My hatred of the Grammys is roughly equal to my
Speaker 3: hate hatred of DEI programs. Wow, very very close. I'm
Speaker 3: planning to march against one of them this week, and
Speaker 3: I haven't decided which, you know, I wait, And I
Speaker 3: put some time into the Beyonce album last night as
Speaker 3: I get ringing for bed. I'd never listened to that
Speaker 3: Cowboy Carter album. It's very artsy, very very artsy. I
Speaker 3: hadn't listened to it because I just assumed it was
Speaker 3: like her other albums, which are not my cup of tea.
Speaker 3: I'm not really into dance music, but very very artsy
Speaker 3: sort of thing. And I'm gonna have to spend some
Speaker 3: more time with it. The whole bunch of really interesting
Speaker 3: guests and Willie Nelson and all these different people.
Speaker 2: Dolly, pardon this sounds intriguing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe getty on this. It
Speaker 3: is a Monday, February third, the day after Groundhog Day.
Speaker 2: We missed ground on me.
Speaker 3: They are twenty twenty five. We are armstrong and getting
Speaker 3: we approved of this program. All right, then, let's begin
Speaker 3: now officially recording to FCC rules of regulations.
Speaker 2: Here we come at Mark.
Speaker 4: Now, I just want to give you all a little
Speaker 4: bit of something that's been on my heart here over
Speaker 4: the last couple of days.
Speaker 5: You fired all, You fired all, You fired all, You
Speaker 5: fed all when your government is doing you roll, you
Speaker 5: fed on? Oh you fed all?
Speaker 2: Heymen? Is that that the Grammy witness? Is that the
Speaker 2: Grammys last night? Or what was that?
Speaker 3: That was a Grammy winning occupier. No, that was doctor
Speaker 3: Quintessa Hathaway, who is vying to be the head of
Speaker 3: the d NC or something or other. At the DNC
Speaker 3: leadership conference you did in music your people on the Feet, Well,
Speaker 3: a guy who actually won declared quite confidently that Kamala
Speaker 3: Harris lost because of racism and misogyny.
Speaker 2: Rock on. So good luck DNC, love it. Yeah, go
Speaker 2: ahead and do that.
Speaker 3: By the way, Puck Satani Phil did see his shadow,
Speaker 3: which means twenty five percent tariffs on Canada in Mexico.
Speaker 3: As we all know, how does mailbag look? Fast moving
Speaker 3: and hard hitting? And that's on the way. Here's our
Speaker 3: text line four one five two nine five kftc.
Speaker 2: Yo yo yo.
Speaker 3: Got a lot to get to today, very very busy day,
Speaker 3: the pros and cons of tariffs, among other things, as
Speaker 3: we've been discussing. Here's your freedom loving quote of the day,
Speaker 3: philosopher Holocaust survivor Victor E.
Speaker 2: Fonkel.
Speaker 3: When we are no longer able to change a situation,
Speaker 3: we are challenged to change ourselves. Ooh, our theme remaining change.
Speaker 2: A lot of great quotes for change. They'll throw a
Speaker 2: freebie in. Why not.
Speaker 3: I'm that kind of guy, Elon Musk. Some people don't
Speaker 3: like change, but you need to embrace change. If the
Speaker 3: alternative is disaster, that's pretty good.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 3: It's deceptively simple and straightforward. Yeah, but how many people, countries,
Speaker 3: companies can you think of that didn't well.
Speaker 2: It'd be too painful. We do this the way we
Speaker 2: do this. The people can't stand will fit.
Speaker 3: We're gonna ride this into the ground, even though all
Speaker 3: indications is that's where we're headed.
Speaker 2: You could pull up on the rudder.
Speaker 3: No Okay, Yeah, mail bag, fast moving and hard hitting
Speaker 3: as promised. Drop us a note mail bag at I'm
Speaker 3: strung in giddy dot com. Taylor Swift didn't win and
Speaker 3: the Chiefs won't repeat. Incredible all that TNA at the Grammys,
Speaker 3: But Taylor didn't get the big ones.
Speaker 2: Is that a play on? Is that like a breast thing?
Speaker 3: And Lamar and Bouncey took them away and Kelsey had
Speaker 3: to pay a fine. I have to think the Chiefs
Speaker 3: will not repeat it. That's more poetry than sports analysis.
Speaker 3: But Taylor did win Chief's Red last night with some little.
Speaker 2: Emblem thingy around her leg for the Chiefs. Oh looks
Speaker 2: like love to me.
Speaker 3: That was al Antonio, writes Canada forty million people. On
Speaker 3: the other hand, Kanye West's wife showed up completely freaking naked,
Speaker 3: completely freaking naked, not in a revealing outfit.
Speaker 2: Nude, yes, fun, yes, showing off her wares. What the hell?
Speaker 3: We've reached the limit on matt You can't go any
Speaker 3: further than.
Speaker 2: That her impressive and luxurious weares. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I just rolled my eyes. Oh you've shocked me? Oh naked?
Speaker 3: Oh lord? Yes, it's it's more than that. I think
Speaker 3: it's it's the mental illness of Kanye. It's not just
Speaker 3: like Madonna being provocative. Right, He's got some sort of
Speaker 3: sex slave going as a wife.
Speaker 2: It is a different range.
Speaker 3: He's wearing moon boots and a big baggied black clothes
Speaker 3: like he's going out to shovel the walk in a
Speaker 3: winter space and she's naked.
Speaker 2: Well, he was wearing a plastic It looked like a
Speaker 2: plastic like lawn bag.
Speaker 3: Right, Like he does have the time, like he's going
Speaker 3: out to rake Leaves and like into himself with a
Speaker 3: look on his face like he's completely crazy, which meaning
Speaker 3: my voluptuous, naked, mused girlfriend wife are going to go
Speaker 3: rake Leaves. That's why I'm wearing a trash bag now,
Speaker 3: if you'll excuse me, what Antonio rights Canada forty million people,
Speaker 3: Mexico one hundred and twenty eight million people illegal aliens
Speaker 3: in America thirty million deport directly to Canada. Do not pass, go,
Speaker 3: do not collect free stuff. I like the idea of
Speaker 3: reopening the Keystone Excel pipeline but running it in reverse
Speaker 3: for about a year and just put people in pneumatic
Speaker 3: tubes and shoot them up to Mexico like they're a
Speaker 3: bank to BOSITI.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, up to Canada. Canada could use the people.
Speaker 3: Everybody wins, win, win win, let's see brilliant from Polo guys.
Speaker 3: Attacking DEI directly might not be the most effective way
Speaker 3: to get rid of it. A positive message would be
Speaker 3: harder to dismiss. For instance, the Civil Rights Act is
Speaker 3: pretty much universally accepted characterize anything intended to get rid
Speaker 3: of DEI is defending the Civil Rights Act, which is
Speaker 3: absolutely accurate.
Speaker 2: So DEI isn't attack directly.
Speaker 3: It's a deserving casualty of the good and virtuals d
Speaker 3: CRA defend the Civil Rights Act. An acronym that's a word,
Speaker 3: would be better, but I can't think of one. With
Speaker 3: the TV on and the cat in my face? What
Speaker 3: do you think a cat?
Speaker 2: Doctor? What? Well?
Speaker 3: So last night Trevor Noah, who if he ever says
Speaker 3: anything funny will be the first time for me. Yeah,
Speaker 3: call me at home any time of the day or night.
Speaker 3: How he ends up getting to host the Grammys, but
Speaker 3: his joke was, there's been a change in leadership in DC,
Speaker 3: so this is the last time I'll be able to
Speaker 3: host this show.
Speaker 2: You're talking? So, yeah, what are you talking about.
Speaker 3: That's how he gets those gigs because he comes off
Speaker 3: smart and snarky, and he says everything I believe in
Speaker 3: precisely and it makes me happy.
Speaker 2: But even he's a comedian. But what is even the
Speaker 2: argument from the left though?
Speaker 3: Because Trump's gonna end black people being able to what?
Speaker 3: No more Black Canadians? So haven't you heard Steven Miller
Speaker 3: mentioned that from the White House the other day? I
Speaker 3: like this, by my understanding, guys, rights JT and Livermore
Speaker 3: Secretary of Health and Human Services, fourteenth in line for
Speaker 3: the presidency.
Speaker 2: Are we really going to put a steroid.
Speaker 3: Using chainsaw wielding former fourteen year heroin addict that sort
Speaker 3: of person fourteenth in line for the presidency?
Speaker 2: Really, we've got a lot more news on the way.
Speaker 2: I hope you can stay.
Speaker 3: Here, Armstrong and Getty. The old Honkins shouts, I recognize
Speaker 3: that was the scene outside the Grammy auditorium last night.
Speaker 3: Is Beyonce having crowned album of the Year?
Speaker 2: Now, that was actually the.
Speaker 3: Rally for the Philadelphia Eagles Jack, who are leaving for
Speaker 3: the soup. No, that was anti ice protesters shutting down
Speaker 3: the one to one freeway in Los Angeles, over the weekend,
Speaker 3: anti ice because you believe people who are here illegally
Speaker 3: and committed and or committing crimes should should be left alone.
Speaker 2: Okay, good stance.
Speaker 3: Yes, as one pro immigration reform wag put it. Thank
Speaker 3: you for doing our work for us. Thank you for
Speaker 3: making the point that this system is completely wrecked and
Speaker 3: needs some serious fixing. I keep saying eighty five percent
Speaker 3: of Americans want illegal illegals booted out, which is correct.
Speaker 3: The flip of that is not even fifteen. I think
Speaker 3: it's like nine. So nine percent of people are on
Speaker 3: your side, nine percent go for it, and the infamous
Speaker 3: six percent or so or like, I don't know, no opinion.
Speaker 2: Well like child rapists.
Speaker 3: I mean there's a child rapist living right next door
Speaker 3: to you who is also follow me now in illegal
Speaker 3: alien Do you want them.
Speaker 2: To stay and rape children or be sent home? No opinion?
Speaker 2: Oh lord, we're through here anyway.
Speaker 3: LA was far from the only place where these protests
Speaker 3: took place.
Speaker 2: This is well, go ahead, Michael Pallas La San Diego.
Speaker 2: Excuse me, just a.
Speaker 3: Follow up question, mister and missus angry protester. You're chanting
Speaker 3: Mahi co mehico. We are also saying Mayhico, Mexico is
Speaker 3: where you ought to go, ought to go.
Speaker 2: So it appears we have an agreement here, we have
Speaker 2: a deal.
Speaker 3: Uh, well, if you allow it to be the way
Speaker 3: it's been for so long, Yeah, people are gonna not react. Well,
Speaker 3: it's like if you have an established thing with your
Speaker 3: kids and then you try to change it. But I've
Speaker 3: always been able to well you're not anymore. The resistance
Speaker 3: is strong, right right indeed, especially if you then have
Speaker 3: to go with Well, the laws that we've ignored for
Speaker 3: ten years, fifteen years are still on the books, and
Speaker 3: now we're going to enforce them.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you'll get you'll get resistance.
Speaker 3: So so explain to me the thinking behind the protests.
Speaker 3: Is it Marxists who just want to destroy America? Is
Speaker 3: it that's going to be part of it? Sure, but
Speaker 3: waven the Mexican flag though, You're not going to get
Speaker 3: people to your side. So it's not like a political
Speaker 3: persuasion sort of thing.
Speaker 2: No, well, it was certainly won't be successful. I know
Speaker 2: I'm a bit.
Speaker 3: Mystified by that too. I think it is an expression
Speaker 3: of we are strong, and we are together, and we
Speaker 3: are Mexicans, and that's the basis of our togetherness. Well,
Speaker 3: even though it's huge percentage of you know, recent immigrants
Speaker 3: have not been Mexican at all, well, and also a
Speaker 3: huge percentage of Hispanic people, like a majority think that
Speaker 3: criminals need to get booted out.
Speaker 2: Oh why, I don't even know who you're talking to.
Speaker 2: You know what might be appropriate?
Speaker 3: Now, big challenge, Joe Wall you figured out, Go ahead,
Speaker 3: here's the challenge that I want to launch because I
Speaker 3: heard this story portrayed this.
Speaker 2: Morning, the shutting down, the one on one.
Speaker 3: Tell me outside of Fox, any news coverage you've come
Speaker 3: across that presents it even neutral, let alone positive, that
Speaker 3: we're booting out illegal criminals, even though eighty five percent
Speaker 3: of America wants that to happen. Right, show me any
Speaker 3: news coverage outside of Fox and Fox is fairly neutral
Speaker 3: on it, but it's presented always everywhere as a horror right, Actually,
Speaker 3: you read my mind, That's exactly where I'm going. This
Speaker 3: is Christin Nome, the new Secretary of Homeland Security in.
Speaker 2: A cowboy hat.
Speaker 3: Oh oh, killing me and the hateful left wing she
Speaker 3: wolf Kristin Welker on Meet the Press seventy two.
Speaker 4: Please, Michael, I've been talking to people who are here legally,
Speaker 4: and they have expressed concerns. They say they are carrying,
Speaker 4: in some cases their documents around with them. Some of
Speaker 4: them are afraid to go to churches because ICE agents
Speaker 4: are now going into churches and schools. Do people who
Speaker 4: are here legally need to be carrying around paperwork? And
Speaker 4: can you guarantee that people who are here legally won't
Speaker 4: be wrongfully detained chersident?
Speaker 1: I would say that if I've heard that expressed by
Speaker 1: people that are legal citizens of the United States, it's
Speaker 1: because the media has perpetuated that fear. The media has
Speaker 1: said that that's a possibility. There's nothing from this administration,
Speaker 1: from President Trump, or from any of the law enforcement
Speaker 1: individuals in these communities that has said that they need
Speaker 1: to walk around and be concerned about that at all.
Speaker 3: It's been made infinitely clear over and over again exactly
Speaker 3: what's happening to the extent that there are people afraid
Speaker 3: of some you know, weird twisting of what's happening. Yeah,
Speaker 3: that's on the media that hammers that every single day,
Speaker 3: including just now, Oh, you awful left wing she wolf.
Speaker 3: I just don't get it from a I mean, we're
Speaker 3: in the you gotta get ratings to make a living business.
Speaker 3: At some point, see CNN as a firing people. At
Speaker 3: some point, you gotta get ratings or you go away.
Speaker 3: And I would think that there'd be more bosses saying, Okay,
Speaker 3: I get Trump's fifty to fifty. If a half the
Speaker 3: country doesn't like Trump, after country does, I get that,
Speaker 3: So we can go negative sometimes. But this issue is
Speaker 3: eighty five six or something like that. So what are
Speaker 3: we doing not playing to the eighty five percent who
Speaker 3: think this is a good idea? Right, It's difficult, I
Speaker 3: think for a lot of us to picture. But going
Speaker 3: back to the DNC meeting, which will play you some
Speaker 3: more delightful clips of the guy who is the new
Speaker 3: head excuse me, head of the Democratic National Committee stood
Speaker 3: up and absolutely declared that Kamala Harris, who is a
Speaker 3: dim wit who did nothing to separate herself from her
Speaker 3: boss and his awful policies, who's never won a primary,
Speaker 3: who didn't even make a taiwa, he declared, declaratively, excuse me,
Speaker 3: that she lost because of racism and misogyny. So if
Speaker 3: you have that level of bubbled blindness, then yeah, you
Speaker 3: got to meet the president's entire crew believes that what
Speaker 3: Trump is doing is a horror because something something, brown
Speaker 3: people something. We're a nation of immigrants. Anyway, let's go
Speaker 3: with they're going to deport legal immigrants and citizens. It's
Speaker 3: just it's difficult for those of us who are normal
Speaker 3: to picture that level of self delusion. Yeah, I'd say, well,
Speaker 3: we'll see how this turns out politically.
Speaker 2: I think I don't keep.
Speaker 3: Marching down the highway, closing it, chanting mehico, mehico.
Speaker 2: See how that goes.
Speaker 3: So we mentioned, uh, Trevor Nolan making a joke at
Speaker 3: the Grammar Grammy's last night ed because of the new administration,
Speaker 3: I won't be allowed to host anymore.
Speaker 2: Ha ha.
Speaker 3: I guess the joke is Trump's so racist a black
Speaker 3: guy can't host.
Speaker 2: The Grammys in the future. I don't want it. What
Speaker 2: a hell?
Speaker 3: But then, uh New York Times Yesterday there because February
Speaker 3: is Black History Month. With President Trump's furious assault on
Speaker 3: diversity programs, the celebration and study of black history in
Speaker 3: February takes on new significance, does it. I have some
Speaker 3: stuff to say on that. A little later on what
Speaker 3: are we talking about? The uh, you know, the great
Speaker 3: line from the usual Suspects. The greatest trick the devil
Speaker 3: played was convincing the world he didn't exist. The greatest
Speaker 3: trick the Dei crowd played was convincing people it was
Speaker 3: about diversity and just civil rights. It's not at all,
Speaker 3: but there are a lot of people who still believe it.
Speaker 3: I have quotes from very prominent people, very smart people,
Speaker 3: who fell for that.
Speaker 2: They fell for the delightful sounding verbiage of it. Thought.
Speaker 2: I think it's still think it's sincere. It's not.
Speaker 3: That protesting in Dallas might have been over the Luka
Speaker 3: Doncic trade, as one of the biggest stars in all
Speaker 3: of basketball is going to the Lakers to play with
Speaker 3: Lebron and they're in first place, and that's very exciting
Speaker 3: as an NBA fan, So I look forward to watching that. Uh,
Speaker 3: it's being called the most shocking trade in NBA history.
Speaker 3: Jack I was playing golf with a professional, former professional
Speaker 3: sportswriter and editor, and.
Speaker 2: His jaw was hanging. He couldn't believe it.
Speaker 3: He's binct, friends, help me understand this. Why why would
Speaker 3: Dallas make this trade?
Speaker 2: This is horrible.
Speaker 3: Apparently he showed up fat this year and he's only
Speaker 3: played How many that gets you?
Speaker 2: Does that get people fired? Asking for a friend? No kidding?
Speaker 3: After I got on the scale this morning.
Speaker 2: Damn, yes, Michael. Oh, he's only played in about twenty
Speaker 2: two games this.
Speaker 3: Year, so he is fat and hasn't played any many games.
Speaker 3: I think he was, and his contract is coming up too.
Speaker 3: I think he for a massive payoff. He was Well,
Speaker 3: he's a giant star and really entertaining and fun to watch.
Speaker 3: He should be in LA. But I think he was quiet, quitting,
Speaker 3: like yet a lot of young people do. He's a
Speaker 3: young guy, and I think he was doing the whole
Speaker 3: all kind of show up, all kind of work. Oh,
Speaker 3: don't fire me, Oh no, I'm fired.
Speaker 2: Damn.
Speaker 3: I think he was doing that, and he probably told
Speaker 3: the Lakers, look, I'm playing for a good team. I'll
Speaker 3: stop with the donuts and I'll show up to every game.
Speaker 3: I just can't play with these people anymore. I think
Speaker 3: that's what he was doing.
Speaker 2: Well, two things.
Speaker 3: LA is the perfect place for debate over his weight
Speaker 3: to take place. Oh my god, the number of personal
Speaker 3: trainers and body sculptors and plastic surgeons and grous He's
Speaker 3: already dated some various hot starlets so he yeah, that'll
Speaker 3: be a good town for him. Second thing my professional
Speaker 3: sports writer buddy informed me was that because the NBA's
Speaker 3: rules on they want the superstars to stay with their
Speaker 3: teams if possible for the fans sake. So you can
Speaker 3: sign a much larger contract with your team at a
Speaker 3: particular point of your career than you can with a
Speaker 3: different team. The Mavericks trading him to the Lakers is
Speaker 3: going to cost him one hundred and sixteen million dollars,
Speaker 3: of course, when you've got three hundred and forty. I've
Speaker 3: never understood why sports stars go for the money and
Speaker 3: don't go for the either town they want to live
Speaker 3: in or team that's gonna win.
Speaker 2: I don't get it. I think it's a dumb decision.
Speaker 3: You got sixty million dollars and you're gonna make your
Speaker 3: decision out based on money. You got more money than
Speaker 3: you could spend in your entire life and all your
Speaker 3: generations down the line. Do what's gonna make you happiest.
Speaker 3: I don't get it. But people all the time go
Speaker 3: to play some crappy team and town they don't want
Speaker 3: to live in for a few more million dollars. And
Speaker 3: I don't know get I've never understood that part of sports.
Speaker 3: I think it's because it's young, ignorant people making the decision.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it could be.
Speaker 3: Although you buy a mansion out at the edge of town,
Speaker 3: your boys hang out, you play video games, what do
Speaker 3: you care? God, I would go for it, not like
Speaker 3: you're joining the chamber commerce chack the phone place where
Speaker 3: I could win after I've satisfied my needs, which is
Speaker 3: what he's gonna do. That's gonna be exciting for the NBA, though,
Speaker 3: definitely exciting. I got a question about sleeping. I want
Speaker 3: to get to later that I'm thinking this is going
Speaker 3: to be crowdsourcing. I'm thinking you the listeners spread at
Speaker 3: all across the country have had the experience. You can
Speaker 3: help me as I'm really struggling with sleeping. I'll get
Speaker 3: to that later. We got Katie's headlines on the way.
Speaker 3: Stay here. Here's my quick question about sleeping. I've been
Speaker 3: really sleeping poorly lately. I don't know if this is
Speaker 3: it because I'm not doing anything different. I've always looked
Speaker 3: at my phone when I'm going to bed at night, always.
Speaker 3: I've been doing it since smartphones came out. But I'm
Speaker 3: trying to figure out why I can't sleep, and maybe
Speaker 3: it's the whole blue light thing has finally affected me
Speaker 3: or whatever. Has anybody had any luck with not looking
Speaker 3: at their devices and like it really changing their sleeping,
Speaker 3: or has purchased the blue light glasses that symposedly filter
Speaker 3: that out? Is that at work? Has anybody done that
Speaker 3: text line? FOFTC. You know, I'm always saying there are
Speaker 3: very few things that are just explained by or caused
Speaker 3: by one thing. As you age, your sleep patterns get
Speaker 3: a little funky too, and it.
Speaker 2: Could be yeah, oh yeah, yeah, I've.
Speaker 3: Had a couple of like changes in terms of like
Speaker 3: the way I metabolized alcohol or whatever overnight.
Speaker 2: Wow. As far as I.
Speaker 6: Can tell, I've had changes in my sleep too, from
Speaker 6: just my twenties into my thirties.
Speaker 2: Wow, I do not sleep like I used to. Something
Speaker 2: changed in like the last week sucks. Well, that's what
Speaker 2: I'm saying.
Speaker 6: You.
Speaker 3: You you know, you had a uh an eleven on
Speaker 3: the abusing sleep scale and then you know your body
Speaker 3: change or whatever age and now you're at a thirteen
Speaker 3: and that tipped you over the edge. So you got
Speaker 3: to be more conscientious about everything. It's like you know
Speaker 3: you just as you get older, especially, you have to
Speaker 3: be better about everything because all those things you heard
Speaker 3: through life start to come true, those things you thought, no,
Speaker 3: I can ignore that and still be healthy. If I
Speaker 3: know about the blue light with the phones? Have you
Speaker 3: done anything with that? Text line four one five nine
Speaker 3: five KFTC. Let's figure out who's reporting what. It's the
Speaker 3: lead story with Katie Green.
Speaker 6: Katie all right, guys, Starting with ABC News, Trump to
Speaker 6: discuss tariffs with Canadian Mexican leaders as Mexico readies quote
Speaker 6: plan be response.
Speaker 3: Yeah, buy your burrows and your sombreros today, your burroughs
Speaker 3: and your chorus. So it hits at midnight tonight. Tomorrow,
Speaker 3: we'll be tariff Tuesday, and it is going to be
Speaker 3: quite the experiment to watch us play out, both economically
Speaker 3: and politically, unless there is a serious hard turn Trump's
Speaker 3: about to make.
Speaker 2: But tariff talk after the top of the hour. Enjoy it.
Speaker 2: In hour two from.
Speaker 6: Brightbart dot com and you guys touched on this anti
Speaker 6: Trump deportation protesters wave Mexican flags.
Speaker 2: Across the United States.
Speaker 3: Yeah, if your goal was to really harden people toward
Speaker 3: following through on Trump's deportation promises.
Speaker 2: Good job. Yeah, if you really.
Speaker 3: Want to drive home the point that we've lost control
Speaker 3: of the borders. Thank you, Ce, save Padway. Indeed, say oh.
Speaker 6: From NBC, Elon Musk says he and Trump are shutting
Speaker 6: down us ai D.
Speaker 2: What is that.
Speaker 3: That's a big part of the Foreign eight, that whole thing. Okay,
Speaker 3: that's what they are arguing about yesterday and all the.

Speaker 2: Yeah, under the ground, right, Yeah, eight feet down.
Speaker 6: The Associated Press CBS.
Speaker 2: Agrees to hand over sixty.
Speaker 6: Minutes Harris interviewed transcripts to the FCC.
Speaker 3: Well, Trump isursuing him for slander or something, for editing
Speaker 3: her interview creatively to make him look bad.
Speaker 2: I think that's a terrible case. I hate it. You
Speaker 2: beat her though you won.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you just don't go after the media like that.
Speaker 3: It's a mistake. It's overreach anyway, Thank you. Oh, and
Speaker 3: they're doesn't take that as standing up for sixty minutes.
Speaker 3: They're despicable, but you won.
Speaker 6: From the Washington Post, Israeli military sets off massive explosions,
Speaker 6: destroying buildings in the West Bank.
Speaker 3: Boy, we got to talk about Lindsey Graham's piece on
Speaker 3: one of the talk shows yesterday. He's fully in favor
Speaker 3: of Israel taking out a Rand's nuclear facilities and US
Speaker 3: helping him.
Speaker 2: I do think that's gonna happen this year.
Speaker 6: From The New York Post, Shopper baffled after Ali Express
Speaker 6: sends him a photo of a drift instead of the
Speaker 6: forty dollars tool he had ordered. This happens a lot
Speaker 6: where if you order from like Tamu or these other
Speaker 6: websites where you get stuff for cheap, you'll end up
Speaker 6: with like a photo of the product or is it
Speaker 6: like a polypocket sized version of what you thought you ordered.
Speaker 2: But is it a.
Speaker 3: Mistake on their end or did they say no, no, no,

Speaker 2: whole thing.
Speaker 6: Yeah, And finally the Babylon Bee to announce they've given
Speaker 6: up completely. DNC selects David Hogg as vice chair. Yeah,
Speaker 6: oh Man, this insufferable little guy.
Speaker 2: He's hard to take.
Speaker 3: And the head guy was the misogyny and racism guy.
Speaker 3: I keep waiting for signs of waking up over there
Speaker 3: on the left, and I'm not seeing them thus far.
Speaker 3: So you got to look for fine print when you
Speaker 3: buy stuff and some of these online sites, because you're
Speaker 3: paying for a picture.
Speaker 2: Of the item, you are a miniature.
Speaker 6: You should always check the reviews, always because people will say, oh, yeah,
Speaker 6: I ordered this and it's two inches tall when it's
Speaker 6: supposed to be an actual chair for a human, you know,
Speaker 6: stuff like that.
Speaker 3: Wow, oh yeah, it's got to be some sort of fraud,
Speaker 3: doesn't it, you'd think, But what are you gonna do.

Speaker 3: wires and put your hands around your neck at the
Speaker 3: other end of the internet, what are you gonna do?
