Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio of the
Speaker 1: George Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe Ketty, arm Strong
Speaker 1: and Gatty and He.
Speaker 2: Armstrong and Getty, and finally, Jetlin Airways is now accepting
Speaker 2: them though as a payment option, while Spirit is accepting
Speaker 2: canned goods and gently warned.
Speaker 3: He couldn't get through his own punchline. Can goods and
Speaker 3: gently worn clothing. That's funny, poor Spirit. They take a meeting,
Speaker 3: don't they. The Oscar nominations are out, nobody cares, which
Speaker 3: is true. But once again the Brutalist and Wicked are
Speaker 3: getting all the nominations, just like they did with the
Speaker 3: Golden Globes. A Wicked is a whatever? That Wizard of
Speaker 3: Oz thingy?
Speaker 1: What's the Brutalistic?
Speaker 3: I mentioned it after they won all the Golden Globes.
Speaker 3: I came on the air and read what it's about,
Speaker 3: and I still don't remember what is it about it?
Speaker 3: It's based on a true story, I don't know. You know,
Speaker 3: it's falls in love, faces hardship, but learns from the
Speaker 3: experienced girl overcomes difficulties. Who knows, you know?
Speaker 4: Anson, Yeah, an architect and all those things that you
Speaker 4: just said.
Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, it was an architect does something go ahead, Katie,
Speaker 3: have you seen it?
Speaker 1: Uh?
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's about escaping post war europe An architect comes
Speaker 5: to America to rebuild his life, the action packed world
Speaker 5: of architecture.
Speaker 3: Well, as I've learned throughout my life, you know, in
Speaker 3: the in the hands of a good writer, everything is good.
Speaker 3: Everything is good. The the the plot could be a
Speaker 3: woman raises her child and it's fantastic if it's well written,
Speaker 3: and if it's not, you could have a plot where,
Speaker 3: you know, I don't know, balloons come down full of
Speaker 3: clowns and rob a bank and the president gets involved.
Speaker 3: But if it's poorly written, it still sucks. So you
Speaker 3: know what, Sure, I don't even know why we go
Speaker 3: through it. A movie is about, I guess you want
Speaker 3: to have some idea what it's about. It's a World
Speaker 3: War two movie or a post World War two movie.
Speaker 1: It's about people.
Speaker 3: There you go. It's about humanity. It's about the human experience.
Speaker 3: That's what it's about. But I wanted to mention this.
Speaker 3: Katie brought us to the news that the first trans
Speaker 3: nomination in Oscar history has occurred. Who for what doesn't matter?
Speaker 3: If you don't know.
Speaker 5: Carla Sophia Gascon for the French film Emilia Perez.
Speaker 1: So a dude got nominated for Best Actress?
Speaker 3: Hang out? But is it is the role? Trains because
Speaker 3: we had several texts saying, should Dustin Hoffman have been
Speaker 3: nominated for Best Actress for Tutsi? Or should Robin Williams
Speaker 3: been nominated for Missus Doubtfire? Or is this specifically actually
Speaker 3: a trans role?
Speaker 1: Well, it's a trans person, right, I know nothing about
Speaker 1: the role.
Speaker 5: Okay, yeah, No, the the dude is playing a woman
Speaker 5: because that's what they identify as.
Speaker 3: Now, this is very confusing, all right, a little into
Speaker 3: the world of Dustin Hoffman and Robin Williams.
Speaker 1: No, no, it's not the role, it's the person. Well, right,
Speaker 1: the role is not a man.
Speaker 3: Just wait a second. If it's a dude dressed as
Speaker 3: a woman, how's that different than what Dustin Hoffman.
Speaker 1: Did because he wasn't transgender?
Speaker 5: Yeah, because Dustin Hoffman turned back into Dustin Hoffman when
Speaker 5: he was not on set.
Speaker 3: Well, you're working the other side of the street for
Speaker 3: the first time on this issue, so you're saying that
Speaker 3: is a thing that is declared role.
Speaker 1: No, No, I'm saying, that's why it's outrageous. It is
Speaker 1: a dude who is being nominated for Best Actress because
Speaker 1: he walks around in address. Justin had one or more
Speaker 1: surgeries and door drugs. Dustin Hoffman was nominated for an
Speaker 1: oscar but as a guy correct Best Actor because it's
Speaker 1: a dude, right exactly. That's the that's the easy way
Speaker 1: to remember it.
Speaker 3: Well, you got to have the very old members of
Speaker 3: the Academy, all these octagenarian Hollywood heavyweights check the.
Speaker 1: Junk wow wow, like each one of them, because there
Speaker 1: are hundreds of members of the Academy, or just like
Speaker 1: one guy would be appointed to do that.
Speaker 3: I would think a committee you don't want to put
Speaker 3: in the hands of one person. But I don't think
Speaker 3: everybody needs.
Speaker 1: To check the possibility about it.
Speaker 3: A thousand people now need to look at your crank
Speaker 3: to see if that would seem that would be dumb.
Speaker 4: Kind of like the old fashioned hernia tests that we
Speaker 4: used to do in junior high.
Speaker 3: Like the hernia test you did in high school to
Speaker 3: see if you like hernia.
Speaker 1: As did they actually discover doing that?
Speaker 3: It was a bunch of people who wanted to fondle
Speaker 3: teenage boys. Testicles. I think that's what I've determined. Ah,
Speaker 3: as long as you're talking Katie shaking her head in wonderment.
Speaker 3: It's because they don't do this anymore up until I
Speaker 3: don't know, the nineties, two thousands, I don't know when
Speaker 3: they stopped. If you're going to play sports as a man,
Speaker 3: they had to check you for hernia, which includes dropping
Speaker 3: your pants and they stick your finger up behind your
Speaker 3: testicles and feel around for something and make you cough
Speaker 3: and such, and to make you turn your head and cough.
Speaker 3: If you've ever heard that expression in a movie or that, Yeah,
Speaker 3: that's what that is. Guy sticks his hand up behind
Speaker 3: your testicles, You turn your head and cough, and they say,
Speaker 3: no hernia, you can go ahead and be on the
Speaker 3: wrestling team. And they did that with every teenage boy
Speaker 3: across the country for a century.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just want to know how necessary that was
Speaker 1: or if it was just a bunch of herbs.
Speaker 3: Well, they don't do it anymore.
Speaker 1: Interesting for school sports.
Speaker 3: I don't think anything changed with the human anatomy re hernias.
Speaker 3: How come they don't check you for hernias anymore?
Speaker 5: Well, what if you don't identify as whatever?
Speaker 3: The whole thing is that they stopped the hernia checks
Speaker 3: a long time ago, pretrans being a thing. Do you
Speaker 3: have any idea handsOn? Do you think it was just
Speaker 3: an opportunity to I can't believe.
Speaker 4: That, but I remember the last one that I was
Speaker 4: subjected to, and he had a big old smile on
Speaker 4: his face when I walked up, and it made me
Speaker 4: so uncomfortable on.
Speaker 3: Your shoulders that, you know, being serious with this silly topic,
Speaker 3: There's a lot of stuff that was going on with
Speaker 3: the boy Scouts, the Catholic Church, a whole bunch of
Speaker 3: different things that you know are in a similar vein.
Speaker 3: Who knows who got that started and kept it going.
Speaker 3: And you know, if you're not a medical professional and
Speaker 3: somebody told you, oh yeah, you got to checking vernias,
Speaker 3: you just think, Okay, I guess So I was checked
Speaker 3: for hernion when I played high school football, so I
Speaker 3: guess my son will be.
Speaker 1: And I'm just scanning my memory bank. I played on
Speaker 1: sports teams in school from the fifth grade through senior
Speaker 1: year in high school, and I don't recall anybody ever
Speaker 1: being successfully diagnosed with a hernia and avoiding the disaster
Speaker 1: that would have ensued had they been allowed to play baseball,
Speaker 1: for instance, which.
Speaker 3: Is a good point. Yeah, if like every fourth kid
Speaker 3: had a hernia and it needed to be dealt with
Speaker 3: before they played junior high backup center basketball, you could
Speaker 3: understand it. But since nobody in your experience or mind
Speaker 3: did anybody ever ever hearn any answer in your life?
Speaker 3: So since nobody ever had a urry and really somebody
Speaker 3: should have asked the question, should have the phot of
Speaker 3: it as a kid, let's just say, for uh, the
Speaker 3: interest of the conversation, if I did have a hernia
Speaker 3: and I played junior varsity basketball.
Speaker 1: What would happen?
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Somewhere there's a retired doctor out there shouting at his radio,
Speaker 1: you stupid basters. If you play baseball with a hernia,
Speaker 1: you could dig or something rather you know.
Speaker 3: No, there's also quite possibly a ninety year old doctor
Speaker 3: out there. I fondled boys for all those years, and
Speaker 3: I would have gotten away with it. Two for those
Speaker 3: meddling talk show hosts, I could be all right. Final
Speaker 3: sports related note because I just saw this and it's amazing,
Speaker 3: and we don't do a sports show, but it's just it.
Speaker 1: My mind is bloot. My friend Brian the Umpire sent
Speaker 1: this to me, So pitching machine. You've seen them in
Speaker 1: the batting cages right to baseball teams at whatever level
Speaker 1: uses pitching machines so you don't have to wear out
Speaker 1: somebody's arm constantly. Eight hundred thousand dollars pitching machine? How
Speaker 1: much exists now? Three hundred thousand that includes where the
Speaker 1: ball comes out of is an extremely realistic video of
Speaker 1: for instance, Clayton Kershaw throwing the ball. The ball emerges
Speaker 1: from where his hand his release point and then behaves
Speaker 1: like his pitches. Well, you can program the thing.
Speaker 3: Wow cool.
Speaker 1: So can you imagine you're facing you know, whatever great
Speaker 1: pitcher the next day, Have all your guys go down there,
Speaker 1: see his wind up, see his delivery, see the action
Speaker 1: of his pitches like the previous evening.
Speaker 3: Well, it seems like a disadvantage to pitchers, you know,
Speaker 3: because you'd have the emotional aura that a lot of
Speaker 3: great pitchers have where you've never this guy before. Holy craft,
Speaker 3: Now you've faced.
Speaker 1: Him a bunch of time. Yeah, just crazy.
Speaker 3: One more sports note, since we got a little time,
Speaker 3: this is not really sports or kind of sports. So
Speaker 3: which the running back Henry for the team that loss
Speaker 3: the other night, the Lions They mentioned on the air
Speaker 3: that he spends two hundred and forty thousand dollars a
Speaker 3: year on his diet and exercise, almost a quarter of
Speaker 3: a million dollars a year on private chef, private you
Speaker 3: know whatever you call it, workout guy, probably equipment and
Speaker 3: food and all that sort of stuff. Wow, that's something,
Speaker 3: isn't it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's dedication.
Speaker 3: Yeah. And you you'd have to be a star with
Speaker 3: a pretty good salary before you could afford, you know,
Speaker 3: the starting alignment fresh out of college. Aren't going to
Speaker 3: spend two hundred and forty thousand dollars a year on food, chef,
Speaker 3: workout stuff because he couldn't take up half your salary.
Speaker 1: That was interesting, Tom Brady model, right, more or less?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I wonder what all the gut do you get
Speaker 3: for two hundred and forty thousand dollars. These eggs are
Speaker 3: a little running huh?
Speaker 1: All right, sir? Right away, sir?
Speaker 3: When I'm paying these and should not be runny eggs?
Speaker 3: How do my glutes look? And if you could help
Speaker 3: us out if you know anything about the old hernia checks,
Speaker 3: any information since we didn't have any text line four
Speaker 3: one five two nine five KFTC bartrol, Heyetty.
Speaker 6: They could deploy up to ten thousand active duty troops.
Speaker 6: So they are trying to shore up as much personnel
Speaker 6: on the US Next Code border to release border patrol
Speaker 6: agents to be on the front lines. Now as far
Speaker 6: as what they do when they get their operational readiness
Speaker 6: intel analysts who can assess the flows of migrants in
Speaker 6: any threat, So they are not doing law enforcement work
Speaker 6: so much as that they are helping border patrol behind
Speaker 6: the scenes. The bord patrol can get out and do
Speaker 6: the apprehending that's.
Speaker 3: At the border where could be up to ten thousand
Speaker 3: military people there. Not as you just heard. They're not
Speaker 3: like running around with guns and stuff like that, but
Speaker 3: facilitating this whole thing because it's a lot of people
Speaker 3: and it's going to be it's what's going to be
Speaker 3: a mess. You create a mess when you allow eight
Speaker 3: million people to come into the country illegally in a
Speaker 3: four year period, and of course.
Speaker 1: Sorting that mess out is going to be uncomfortable at times,
Speaker 1: is your point, Earlyer.
Speaker 3: Sure is. I'm looking up at Fox right now. They
Speaker 3: got videos of MS thirteen gang members who were arrested
Speaker 3: yesterday by Ice, about four hundred known and we've known
Speaker 3: for quite some time criminals who are here illegally that
Speaker 3: have been arrested. How you explain the last administration knowing
Speaker 3: there are illegal criminals around but not arresting them. That's
Speaker 3: so insane. You're so beholden to the weirdest couple of
Speaker 3: percent of people on Twitter for some reason. Right, God,
Speaker 3: practically nobody in America thinks you ought to keep criminal
Speaker 3: illegals in the country.
Speaker 1: It's just nuts in doing nothing about their presence. Here
Speaker 1: is a tacit agreement in the idea of leaving them here.
Speaker 1: It's it's again, it's hard to believe it actually happened
Speaker 1: for as long as it did.
Speaker 3: Well. Trump got asked by Hannity last night on Fox
Speaker 3: why it happened.
Speaker 7: Prisons from all over the world have been emptied out
Speaker 7: into our country by Biden allowing it to happen.
Speaker 1: I don't even know if he knew.
Speaker 7: What the hell was going on.
Speaker 1: But I don't understand.
Speaker 7: Why does somebody want open borders. Why would anybody that
Speaker 7: even likes You don't have to love our country, you
Speaker 7: have to like it. Why would anybody that likes our
Speaker 7: country the Democrats allow that to happen? The only reason
Speaker 7: it can be is two reasons, you're stupid, And.
Speaker 3: I don't think they're stupid.
Speaker 7: I think anybody that cheats that much in that, well,
Speaker 7: it's not stupid. You're either stupid or you hate the country.
Speaker 3: This, yeah, I don't. I politically, just politically, if Joe
Speaker 3: Biden's goal was getting re elected, and I'm sure it was,
Speaker 3: how did you think this was gonna help you? Because
Speaker 3: you are so misled by the young people around you
Speaker 3: who are on Twitter, I guess yeah.
Speaker 1: And I'm trying to noodle us through because I think
Speaker 1: it's more useful to understand that than just yell about it.
Speaker 1: But I think on the left more than the right,
Speaker 1: but not exclusively, getting along and being part of the
Speaker 1: group and the other people approving of you and what
Speaker 1: you say is really really important. And it just kind
Speaker 1: of got informally passed as a resolution that having lots
Speaker 1: and lots millions of brown people come into the country
Speaker 1: is good. In white people or anybody. The plenty of
Speaker 1: brown people saying that it needs this up is bad.
Speaker 1: We've decided that it's good because we're enlightened, okay, And
Speaker 1: they just never think through the consequences.
Speaker 3: So Mexico is building giant shelters on the other side
Speaker 3: of the border because they know they're gonna be dealing
Speaker 3: with thousands and thousands of people that are either sent
Speaker 3: back or have gone to the border, and they're not
Speaker 3: going to get across now. And where are they gonna
Speaker 3: put them on, how they're gonna feed them, and all
Speaker 3: that sort of stuff. The borders are yesterday said that
Speaker 3: there are seven hundred thousand. The number before had been
Speaker 3: six hundred thousand. It's not surprising that it's larger. Holman said.
Speaker 3: There are seven hundred thousand criminals here illegally that are
Speaker 3: roaming around the country that they're gonna work on getting
Speaker 3: rid of, and there are about four or five hundred
Speaker 3: so far. One more thing I wanted to mention before
Speaker 3: I get to another point. Oh so this idea that
Speaker 3: Trump is doing something horrible, which all the mainstream media
Speaker 3: is looking for the most sympathetic cases they can come
Speaker 3: up with. This young student believed she was going to
Speaker 3: start college, but now she's not so sure. My patterns
Speaker 3: are here illegally. You know that sort of thing. Okay, well, fine, yeah,
Speaker 3: it's gonna be a mess. You have eight million people
Speaker 3: come in illegally. It's going to be a mess to
Speaker 3: try to get them out of here. What did you
Speaker 3: that's what you're counting on. Actually, you're counting on it
Speaker 3: would be so difficult and uncomfortable, and there would be
Speaker 3: these sympathetic stories that you could just let them stay. Again,
Speaker 3: I'm not exactly sure why you want them to stay politically,
Speaker 3: since eighty five percent of Americans want the criminals out
Speaker 3: and sixty six percent of Americans want all of them out.
Speaker 1: I despise this, and it's so common making you the
Speaker 1: bad guy for sorting out the mess they caused. Oh,
Speaker 1: it's a clever ploy.
Speaker 3: It's like to get in the porn in the libraries
Speaker 3: and then when you try to get it out book Manning.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's a pretty clever ploy. Let all the
Speaker 3: illegals in. Then when you try to get about, well,
Speaker 3: look at this poor little girl. You know, she's guy,
Speaker 3: she's cross eyed, and you're kicking our parents out of
Speaker 3: the country.
Speaker 1: I'm collegeing the budget on the back of cross eyed
Speaker 1: little girls.
Speaker 3: Counster Ice has been free to make arrests at what
Speaker 3: they call sensitive locations, which have been off limits for
Speaker 3: arresting illegals now they're gonna be able to arrest illegals
Speaker 3: at schools, hospitals, colleges, rally and funerals. The funerals, but hey,
Speaker 3: why would anywhere be off limits?
Speaker 1: Well, right, right, it's a misplaced priorities. It's terrible and
Speaker 1: in Mexico opening those gigantic detention centers or in Spanish
Speaker 1: Central Steed detension and jigantes. Yeah, you google translated actions.
Speaker 3: There is there, there's going to be. Our friend Tim
Speaker 3: Sanderfer is really worried about due process and all that
Speaker 3: sort of stuff. There are gonna be examples that media
Speaker 3: is working so hard to find some example of the
Speaker 3: Trump administration getting it wrong, somebody that had their PaperWorks
Speaker 3: in order or they were they get thrown out as
Speaker 3: a citizen or something like that, and then they're gonna make.
Speaker 1: That the story for a while.
Speaker 3: But again, you're gonna have this is really a you
Speaker 3: can't make an omelet without breaking the eggs. You've made
Speaker 3: an in incredible mess of things.
Speaker 1: Yet it strikes me that what you're describing, and it
Speaker 1: absolutely will happen as a lot like defund the police
Speaker 1: because there are a few bad cops that do bad things.
Speaker 1: We should not have cops because there will be a
Speaker 1: few bad deportations that we regret or have to redo
Speaker 1: or whatever we should deport no one. No, that's no
Speaker 1: way to run a country. Friends, Well, at least so far,
Speaker 1: Trump's got the political wind. It is back, and it's
Speaker 1: a very.
Speaker 3: Strong armstrong and getty. I check Instagram every once in
Speaker 3: a while for a variety of things. The feed I
Speaker 3: don't know how the I don't have an Instagram account
Speaker 3: and I don't search on things, but the feed has
Speaker 3: somehow figured out what I like, which scares me. Is
Speaker 3: it listening to me? Is it reading my emails and
Speaker 3: my texts? I don't know, but the Instagram feed figured
Speaker 3: out that I like family guy. And this is a
Speaker 3: funny little clip. It is a hipster standing on a
Speaker 3: street corner, drinking coffee. Could be Portland, Seattle, San Francisco,
Speaker 3: Santa Cruz, wherever, West Hollywood and Stewie the baby uh
Speaker 3: with the English accent for some reason.
Speaker 1: Cynical baby, that's Stewie.
Speaker 3: He he walks up and talks to the hipster. Oh
Speaker 3: you got the wool cap on?
Speaker 8: Huh yeah, yeah, I guess you know whatever. It's a
Speaker 8: ninety six degrees out better. Put on the old wool cap. Yeah,
Speaker 8: got a lot going on under there. Huh under the
Speaker 8: wool cap thinking about your sideburns. Yeah, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 8: you're not a complete jackass.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 8: Oh hey, nice t shirt? Fresh and it's spelled with
Speaker 8: a P. H Oh, that's fun because it's usually spelled
Speaker 8: with an F. Yeah. And you got a little tear
Speaker 8: in your pants there. Oh that's on purpose, though, isn't it.
Speaker 8: You're a bad boy. You're a bad boy. Society wants
Speaker 8: your pants to be intact, but you're just not gonna listen,
Speaker 8: are you.
Speaker 3: My god, this is ridiculous. I'm sorry, I'm gonna have
Speaker 3: to kill you.
Speaker 1: I am so glad, got almighty. Put Seth MacFarland on
Speaker 1: the earth.
Speaker 3: Society wants your pants intact, but you're not gonna listen,
Speaker 3: are you? That is funny?
Speaker 1: Oh it's almost too much. It's almost too boy. So
Speaker 1: this is you know, this is another one of those
Speaker 1: the beatings will stop when the beatings will continue until
Speaker 1: morale improves, or it feels so good when you stop,
Speaker 1: or something like that. But it's good news in effect
Speaker 1: that college Republicans college conservatives are now coming out of
Speaker 1: hiding when Donald Trump was elected first elected president. Douglas
Speaker 1: Belkin points out on this piece, I came across university,
Speaker 1: set out milk and cookies for rattled undergraduates, and brought
Speaker 1: in puppies to be petted. Because the wrong side won
Speaker 1: an election, and college students who wore maga hats were
Speaker 1: berated by classmates. You couldn't walk across the squad this
Speaker 1: time around. Go ahead, go ahead.
Speaker 3: You think of my own boys. A friend of mine
Speaker 3: set his main goal in raising his kids. I'm talking
Speaker 3: to him today. I'll have to ask him how that
Speaker 3: has been going. His main goal in raising his kids,
Speaker 3: who are like high school agents, he wants him to
Speaker 3: be resilient. That's his main thing.
Speaker 1: Resilient. Oh, that's such a wise thing to say.
Speaker 3: That is a good one, and especially culturally, since we're
Speaker 3: going the other direction. Man, you have failed at resilience.
Speaker 3: If your kid needs cookies in milk because the election
Speaker 3: didn't go the way they wanted, ooh, how are they
Speaker 3: ever going to survive?
Speaker 1: Resilience might be the most important quality any human being
Speaker 1: can have, and yet we're educating our kids to have
Speaker 1: the opposite, to not have that, teaching to crumble at
Speaker 1: every perceived sight. That's one of the things that I
Speaker 1: think is just overtly bitterly evil about the woke thing,
Speaker 1: the dei thing. I mean, putting aside the politics and
Speaker 1: the policy and what they're trying to accomplish in Western
Speaker 1: civilization blah blah blah, but just in terms of making
Speaker 1: our young people miserable, including people I no one care about,
Speaker 1: that's evil. Evil anyway. Getting back to the kids in
Speaker 1: the maga hats, this time around, those same hats are
Speaker 1: eliciting fist bumps and nods. College conservatism hasn't gone mainstream,
Speaker 1: they right on left leaning campuses, but the stigma against
Speaker 1: Republicans is lifting. Supporters of the new president on campus
Speaker 1: This is Indiana University say they now feel more comfortable
Speaker 1: acknowledging one another in public and membership at Long Moribunt
Speaker 1: College Republican clubs around the countries up according to interviews, interestingly,
Speaker 1: not entirely, but mainly pushed by a cohort of outspoken
Speaker 1: conservative men. It's a very male, you know, phenomenon, just
Speaker 1: like the angry, screeching radical leftists are so heavily female.
Speaker 1: As as we've pointed out, disproportionate number are focused on business,
Speaker 1: computer science, ANDBLIC policy, So I want to work in Washington,
Speaker 1: d C. Those young Republicans say they spent too much
Speaker 1: time in high school under pandemic lockdowns and are sick
Speaker 1: of being told how to think, what to say, and
Speaker 1: where they can and cannot go. Now they're a bit
Speaker 1: more aggressive about saying so good for y'all. It's crazy.
Speaker 1: This one guy, is a senior at the University of Massachusetts,
Speaker 1: said Trump's victory is legitimization. You don't have to hide
Speaker 1: politically anymore.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I noticed that right after the election. Where
Speaker 3: was I going. Oh, when Henry and I flew down
Speaker 3: to Vegas, the number of Trump shirts and hats that
Speaker 3: I saw. Thought. This did not happen before. People felt like, oh, okay,
Speaker 3: there's enough of us now I can be out and
Speaker 3: about in this.
Speaker 1: Right right. But the idea that Indiana and other universities
Speaker 1: had fostered an atmosphere where this young man felt he
Speaker 1: had to hide, well he did have to hide. Yeah, absolutely,
Speaker 1: that's awful. Yeah. On a recent night inside the Red
Speaker 1: Bud Room and the student union at I you nine students,
Speaker 1: three and blazers, one wearing a tie debated the merits
Speaker 1: of Trump's cabinet picks, trade tariffs, and the pledge of
Speaker 1: Robert Kennedy Junior to go after processed foods. They argued
Speaker 1: the pros and cons of that sort of thing, and
Speaker 1: again the idea that they couldn't be forest just insane.
Speaker 3: By the way, when's the RFK Junior thing going to happen?
Speaker 3: That's gonna be some good TV.
Speaker 1: The Democrats in the Senate are slow walking all of
Speaker 1: the nominees in brutal fashion. They haven't even scheduled it yet.
Speaker 3: But why why would you slow walk RFK Junior? If
Speaker 3: as a Democrat you think he's an embarrassment to Trump,
Speaker 3: I would think you'd want to schedule that right away.
Speaker 1: I have no idea how the order of the order
Speaker 1: of nominees get set. I don't know. The Republicans are
Speaker 1: running the Senate, so it's up to them. I don't know.
Speaker 1: It's an interesting question, you know. It's funny. I'm so
Speaker 1: happy for these kids, and I'm looking at the picture
Speaker 1: of them in their their ties and blazers and stuff
Speaker 1: at Young Republicans meetings. They live in a such more
Speaker 1: politicized world than we did. I wasn't political at school
Speaker 1: really at all. A political science major studying political systems
Speaker 1: and how they worked.
Speaker 3: I thought about me yelling about any issues. I thought
Speaker 3: of it very close to never. So when I was in.
Speaker 1: College, oh yeah, yeah, and I used to say never
Speaker 1: trust young Republicans, there's something wrong with them. But definitely
Speaker 1: more sympathetic now. When Xander Pittras, a junior at Duke University,
Speaker 1: arrived for freshman orientation and his classmates discovered he followed
Speaker 1: conservative commentators on Instagram, they called him sexist, racist, and
Speaker 1: a xenophobe. He said he scrubbed his social media accounts,
Speaker 1: but this year re established Duke College Republicans. The group
Speaker 1: has now now has about one hundred members.
Speaker 8: Wow.
Speaker 1: Wow, Well, good for y'all. Keep fighting a good fight.
Speaker 1: And you're so right. Why are they telling you what
Speaker 1: to think, what to say, and where you can go?
Speaker 1: Don't take that.
Speaker 3: I like this story, the day three of the Elon
Speaker 3: Musk Nazi salute story. Oh boy, oh my, my high
Speaker 3: school kid, it came up. This is one of the
Speaker 3: things I like about his private school. It came up
Speaker 3: and they talked about it in some classes in and
Speaker 3: how ridiculous it was that people were claiming it was
Speaker 3: a Nazi salute. That's that's something he wouldn't have gotten
Speaker 3: at the public school. I guarantee if it had been
Speaker 3: talked about at all, I wouldn't have been talked about
Speaker 3: how ridiculous it was to call the Nazi salute. Oh,
Speaker 3: Henry was showing me the other day, so he was
Speaker 3: watching some of those I'm just a bill what do
Speaker 3: they call those schoolhouse rock things? But it was the
Speaker 3: one about when the Pilgrims came and I barely remember it.
Speaker 3: It was a cartoon from the way back in the
Speaker 3: seventies and they've kind of become popular again, the schoolhouse
Speaker 3: Rocks thing. So it was about the Pilgrims coming to America.
Speaker 3: And he was telling me how when he saw it,
Speaker 3: the librarian who showed it to him then paused it
Speaker 3: and said, how do you think the Indians felt at
Speaker 3: this point? And they just had a long conversation about
Speaker 3: how off Lo was.
Speaker 1: For the Indians. All right, fine, whatever, gimme give me
Speaker 1: any place on Earth and we can go over how
Speaker 1: one group felt the other group took over. Then the
Speaker 1: one after that, the one after that, the one after that,
Speaker 1: and the one after that, man, you people self hatred
Speaker 1: is is your shining metal that you hang around your
Speaker 1: own neck. You're strange.
Speaker 3: But another wrinkle in the Elon Musk Elon a Muska
Speaker 3: Nazi salute story. A Milwaukee TV meteorologist lost her job
Speaker 3: yesterday for posting to Instagram that Elon Musks Nazi saluted
Speaker 3: twice on Inauguration Day. Employees at WJT TV Channel fifty eight,
Speaker 3: your home for Tri City Weather, We're told Wednesday that
Speaker 3: weather forecasters Sam Cuffle was no longer with the station
Speaker 3: as news of couples firing reached the community, and a
Speaker 3: number of people nationally and locally both supported and opposed
Speaker 3: move by the local CBS affiliate. He lost his job
Speaker 3: because he couldn't restrain himself from tweeting out two Nazi
Speaker 3: salutes from Elon Musk. You freaking idiot. First of all,
Speaker 3: you're a meteorologist, the lowest rung of everything, And now
Speaker 3: are you doing this?
Speaker 1: Yeah that I'm trying to get inside ahead of somebody
Speaker 1: you actually believed. Again, let's think this through. Is Elon
Speaker 1: a Nazi? And did he let it slip that said,
Speaker 1: Oh shoot, I just gave the Nazi salute. I'd meant
Speaker 1: to keep my elbow bent when I waved.
Speaker 3: Dang it, I'm discovered, right?
Speaker 1: Or is he suddenly emboldened to openly embrace Nazism? For
Speaker 1: I've followed him a long time. The first time ever
Speaker 1: helped me understand a wise observer of clouds. What is
Speaker 1: happening here?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Exactly. He's in his mid fifties, and Heed just
Speaker 3: now is revealed that he's a secret Nazi, so into
Speaker 3: it that despite everything else he's doing, Cohen O Mar's
Speaker 3: building a car company, running doge.
Speaker 1: Cash and let him know I'm a Nazi till.
Speaker 3: The other Nazis because everybody else there is a Nazi too,
Speaker 3: Because the only reason you'd Nazi salote is the whole
Speaker 3: crowd is full of Nazis?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 3: What the hell are you people talking about?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Wow?
Speaker 3: And it wasn't just a Milwaukee meteorologist PBS said it
Speaker 3: was a Nazi salute.
Speaker 1: If somebody came to me and said, ag here Chuck
Speaker 1: Schumer pledged allegiance to a shijhin ping, I would want
Speaker 1: to know every single fact.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would say, no he did, Yeah, in what way?
Speaker 1: What do you say? What are we talking about here?
Speaker 1: I wouldn't run to twitter Chuck Schumer ador sees big
Speaker 1: Chuck Schouber Ador shit to bitch.
Speaker 3: She's just a soft head, right, it'd be like Chuck Schumer.
Speaker 3: You see the way he holds his hands there, that's
Speaker 3: a symbol that says you're down with the communist Chinese Party.
Speaker 1: Oh all right, tell me what's the percentage chances of
Speaker 1: rain be wrong? And just go about your business, all right?
Speaker 1: Son Wolfin is strong?
Speaker 2: Next Strong Virginia based common What is offering ultra wealthy
Speaker 2: clients a spot and a luxury doomsday bunker for twenty
Speaker 2: million dollars? Because who doesn't want to survive the apocalypse
Speaker 2: alongside twelve other people with no skills? Jeffrey, it's a
Speaker 2: zombie quick.
Speaker 1: Pay it to leave. I missed the premise unfortunately slow
Speaker 1: with my headphones.
Speaker 3: I had no intention of using the T word this segment.
Speaker 3: Oh the guy is good at staying in the news.
Speaker 3: There's no doubt about it, oh, Donald j And I
Speaker 3: don't know if that's always his intention or just he
Speaker 3: does so many things that make news. A couple of
Speaker 3: things from the New York Times going on right now.
Speaker 3: First of all, this headline trump revels in a presidential perk,
Speaker 3: the omnipresent press pool. You mean he answers lots of questions.
Speaker 3: There's always been an omnipresent press pool. It's part of
Speaker 3: the it's the presidential presspool. They followed the president goes,
Speaker 3: it's just that our last president didn't answer any questions.
Speaker 3: So now you're going with he revels in a presidential perk,
Speaker 3: like he's taking advantage of it or something.
Speaker 1: What a bizarre frame, isn't it.
Speaker 3: So he so he answers questions, constantly signing executive orders,
Speaker 3: taking questions from the press, and then you try to
Speaker 3: present that as like somehow he's taking advantage of something.
Speaker 1: I swear there were all dogs flying birds go wolf wolf.
Speaker 1: I don't even know where they come from.
Speaker 3: But this one is controversial the headline because this just
Speaker 3: happened a little bit ago. Trump removes security for some
Speaker 3: prior officials, including three facing threats, including Mike Pompeo, who
Speaker 3: actually had the Iranians has been reported or trying to
Speaker 3: kill him. And Trump has taken away Pompeo's security because
Speaker 3: he's got a beef with Pompeo.
Speaker 1: He did John Bolton, the other day too. I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't like it. No, I think it's right.
Speaker 3: No, no it's not.
Speaker 1: I think it's right at all.
Speaker 3: No, it's not. It's not.
Speaker 1: Like I said earlier. I've got a list of things
Speaker 1: Trump accomplished on day three. They're great, just great. But
Speaker 1: as he does this, he spreads out landmines that he
Speaker 1: will step on. The left will not bring him down.
Speaker 1: He will bring himself down. There are crackups coming, they
Speaker 1: will be self generated. And it makes me insane because
Speaker 1: the good stuff he's doing is so good.
Speaker 3: Well, for instance, David Axelrod, the guy who got Obama elected, Well,
Speaker 3: Obama got a Obama elected campaign manager to get way
Speaker 3: too much credit. But David Ashrod was on CNN today saying,
Speaker 3: if Biden wanted to pardon his family, he should have.
Speaker 3: I think what did he say? Man up? Should have
Speaker 3: manned up and done it, not five minutes before he
Speaker 3: left office while the inauguration was going on. Do it
Speaker 3: out loud, have the guts to you know, well, man up,
Speaker 3: say this is what I'm doing in here's why you
Speaker 3: were obviously embarrassed about by day late. But speaking of
Speaker 3: stepping on land Trump at the last minute, because he
Speaker 3: wasn't planning on doing this, decided to pardon the actual
Speaker 3: violent j six people and allowed Biden to get away
Speaker 3: with that because the mainstream media would have had to
Speaker 3: talk about that if Trump hadn't given him something else
Speaker 3: to talk about.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's amazing.
Speaker 3: I've been saying this since twenty fifteen. He'd have a
Speaker 3: great debate night and it was going to be all
Speaker 3: the coverage of the next day how he just killed
Speaker 3: everybody on the debate stage, and then he'd say something nuts,
Speaker 3: you know, he'd attack John McCain or a gold star
Speaker 3: mom or something, and then that would be the story.
Speaker 3: And I was like, why do you keep stepping.
Speaker 1: On your own dingus? His great weakness is impulsiveness. Seems
Speaker 1: to work for him. He's got elected president twice the
Speaker 1: United States, he's a billionaire. Yeah well yeah, but it
Speaker 1: would work for him a hell of a lot better
Speaker 1: if he wasn't or if he could you know, rein it.
Speaker 3: We all know that that's just a part of the
Speaker 3: whole human experience. Your your strengths and weaknesses, and you
Speaker 3: don't know, you get rid of one, you get I don't. Oh,
Speaker 3: it's complicated.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know what you're saying, why do they lie?
Speaker 1: Is it their green? Final Thoughts with Armstrong and Getty.
