WEBVTT - The A&G Replay Tuesday Hour Three 0:00:08.840 --> 0:00:13.080 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:13.200 --> 0:00:17.959 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong Show, Katty arm Strong. 0:00:17.760 --> 0:00:24.680 And Jattie and he Armstrong and Getty Strong. 0:00:33.840 --> 0:00:37.280 So that somebody yelling at protesters saying we love immigrants 0:00:37.320 --> 0:00:40.520 and you should to use stupid mf for once again 0:00:41.040 --> 0:00:43.080 as people always do. In fact, I'm about to have 0:00:43.240 --> 0:00:44.760 that in the story we're going to do from the 0:00:44.760 --> 0:00:45.440 Wall Street Journal. 0:00:47.520 --> 0:00:51.040 Quit conflating illegal and legal immigration. 0:00:51.600 --> 0:00:55.200 Have a grown up discussion, or I won't even engage 0:00:55.240 --> 0:00:57.840 with you unless you're going to point out that there's 0:00:57.880 --> 0:01:01.200 a difference, that there's two different things. I'm not talking 0:01:01.280 --> 0:01:04.080 to you. That's what everybody should say. That's what that's 0:01:04.080 --> 0:01:05.960 what every Republican should say when they go on those 0:01:05.959 --> 0:01:08.000 Sunday talk shows. Okay, I gotta stop. 0:01:08.040 --> 0:01:08.479 You're right there. 0:01:08.680 --> 0:01:12.640 If you're gonna pretend that we're talking about legal immigration 0:01:12.680 --> 0:01:14.520 when it's illegal or legal when it's legal, and keep 0:01:14.520 --> 0:01:16.680 going back and forth by using one word, I'm not 0:01:16.840 --> 0:01:19.160 having this discussion. If you would like to act like 0:01:19.240 --> 0:01:22.720 a grown up and have a distinction between the two things, 0:01:22.800 --> 0:01:26.080 we can engage. Something we've been saying going on three 0:01:26.280 --> 0:01:31.040 decades now in for years, it is astonished me the 0:01:31.120 --> 0:01:33.800 number of people who are willing to engage on the 0:01:34.600 --> 0:01:38.400 bizarre terms of the other side, Like you're describing what 0:01:38.520 --> 0:01:41.080 are you doing? Are you just a coward? Do you 0:01:41.120 --> 0:01:43.200 have no confidence in your own needs? Well, you know 0:01:43.600 --> 0:01:47.120 conclusions in ill acts. Say, make your argument. You you 0:01:47.280 --> 0:01:50.920 believe in illegal immigration, make your argument. Your argument sway 0:01:50.960 --> 0:01:53.240 me or sway the American people on why we need 0:01:53.400 --> 0:01:57.640 illegal immigration. But don't start with the Statue of liberty 0:01:57.680 --> 0:01:59.160 and we're all immigrants. 0:01:58.760 --> 0:02:02.560 And crap like that. Jesus, what are you well? 0:02:02.640 --> 0:02:05.040 And anybody who got backed up and stimied by that 0:02:05.240 --> 0:02:07.680 on our side of the aisle, you're an idiot. 0:02:07.760 --> 0:02:08.440 Get out of the way. 0:02:09.080 --> 0:02:11.120 And I don't know what to say. They invoked the 0:02:11.400 --> 0:02:14.520 Statue of liberty. They make a pretty good point. Okay, 0:02:14.639 --> 0:02:19.640 So we got into this yesterday and there's an update 0:02:19.720 --> 0:02:22.679 on the story in the Wall Street Journal. It's confusing. 0:02:23.400 --> 0:02:28.120 So Trump ran on deporting all illegals, and then polling 0:02:28.200 --> 0:02:34.000 showed two thirds of American wanted every non documented immigrant deported. 0:02:34.720 --> 0:02:38.640 Then Trump vows the biggest deportation program in world history. 0:02:38.840 --> 0:02:41.079 And then you got his guy Stephen Miller. One of 0:02:41.120 --> 0:02:44.920 his main advisors, who actually does want to deport everybody 0:02:44.960 --> 0:02:48.239 who's here illegally. And then they start last week or 0:02:48.320 --> 0:02:51.959 week before, as we all know, raids of farms and 0:02:52.040 --> 0:02:54.960 restaurants where they were grabbing people that were just here illegally, 0:02:55.240 --> 0:02:58.440 not with criminal records in all cases, and round them 0:02:58.520 --> 0:03:00.840 up to try to boot them out with the caveat 0:03:00.960 --> 0:03:02.680 that they are here illegally. 0:03:02.880 --> 0:03:03.640 That is the law. 0:03:04.040 --> 0:03:08.480 It's it's not insane to want to enforce the law. 0:03:08.919 --> 0:03:11.720 That's not crazy. It's just very disruptive. But anyway, let 0:03:11.760 --> 0:03:13.799 me read from the Wall Street journals. It's also not 0:03:14.200 --> 0:03:17.120 nearly as popular as you portray it. We quibble about 0:03:17.120 --> 0:03:19.400 this all the time. Those two thirds of people did 0:03:19.639 --> 0:03:20.519 not mean that. 0:03:21.360 --> 0:03:22.040 They just didn't know. 0:03:22.080 --> 0:03:24.799 It's like the flip of people take Trump seriously but 0:03:25.320 --> 0:03:27.679 or not literally but seriously, and it ought to be 0:03:27.800 --> 0:03:29.079 vice versus Stephen Miller. 0:03:29.400 --> 0:03:34.120 You need to take literally he wants to deport everybody. 0:03:34.160 --> 0:03:34.720 I don't care. 0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:39.680 It's illegal to be here without documentation. It's illegal. So 0:03:39.960 --> 0:03:42.720 either come up with a new law or boot them out, 0:03:43.160 --> 0:03:46.440 is my position. My prevalence would be to come up 0:03:46.480 --> 0:03:49.200 with a new law. But you can't just decide, you know, 0:03:49.400 --> 0:03:51.560 and be disruptive. So we'll ignore this law, like you 0:03:51.640 --> 0:03:54.720 said yesterday, Which other laws we can we ignore? How 0:03:54.720 --> 0:03:56.200 about the tax law? I don't like some of the 0:03:56.240 --> 0:03:58.600 star I think some of them are really over the 0:03:58.680 --> 0:04:02.400 top wrong. Can we just yeah, I understand on principles, 0:04:02.560 --> 0:04:03.280 you can't do that. 0:04:03.520 --> 0:04:05.560 You shout. We've been doing it. 0:04:05.760 --> 0:04:10.040 For fifty years, three hundred and sixty five days a year, 0:04:10.280 --> 0:04:12.600 the rubbers meeting the road. At some point you got 0:04:12.720 --> 0:04:16.039 to you got to enforce the law or change the law. 0:04:16.960 --> 0:04:21.640 Two choices. Yeah, so maybe enforcing the law is a 0:04:21.680 --> 0:04:24.560 good way to be a what do you call that? 0:04:25.080 --> 0:04:29.719 Something mechanism? Force the issue, to force Congress to actually 0:04:29.839 --> 0:04:32.280 change the law, or people to start running. 0:04:32.040 --> 0:04:34.240 On changing the law. Nobody ever talks about it. 0:04:34.960 --> 0:04:36.840 Who's come out in the last couple of weeks with 0:04:36.960 --> 0:04:39.479 their the law they'd like to pass. 0:04:39.680 --> 0:04:41.920 I've had this written that my lawyers look over. This 0:04:42.000 --> 0:04:43.600 is what I think the law should be. Who's with me? 0:04:43.760 --> 0:04:46.120 I haven't heard a single person say that I made 0:04:46.160 --> 0:04:48.039 the joke last week that I was going to drop 0:04:48.080 --> 0:04:49.120 a sea bomb on the air. 0:04:49.800 --> 0:04:50.599 The sea words. 0:04:50.680 --> 0:04:55.800 You just can't ever say, Congress, How often do you 0:04:55.920 --> 0:05:01.520 hear Congress needs act in this discussion right now practically never. 0:05:02.520 --> 0:05:04.080 I'm gonna use up all my time before I get 0:05:04.120 --> 0:05:05.760 to this, because I thought it was damned interesting. When 0:05:05.800 --> 0:05:09.520 federal agents rated Glenn Valley Foods in Omaha, Nebraska, last Thursday, 0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:14.080 they arrested about seventy five of the meat processors workers, roughly. 0:05:13.920 --> 0:05:15.160 Half the production line. 0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:18.800 The following day, the plant was operating at fifteen percent 0:05:19.040 --> 0:05:23.120 capacity and a skeleton crew strained to fill orders. Chief 0:05:23.160 --> 0:05:26.080 executive Gary Rower can't see a future that doesn't include 0:05:26.160 --> 0:05:28.919 immigrant workers, immigrant walkers. 0:05:29.240 --> 0:05:31.800 Are they illegal? Are they illegal? 0:05:32.279 --> 0:05:32.559 God? 0:05:33.080 --> 0:05:35.680 Ganget. I don't know if I'm mad at the guy 0:05:35.720 --> 0:05:37.440 because did he say that. I don't know. 0:05:37.600 --> 0:05:40.520 There's not quotes around that Wall Street Journal. Did you 0:05:40.680 --> 0:05:44.680 just blur the line between legal and illegal? Of course 0:05:44.720 --> 0:05:45.200 they're pro. 0:05:45.200 --> 0:05:48.440 Open borders because they're pro big business. God. That makes 0:05:48.480 --> 0:05:51.680 me mad is the guy saying I can't see a 0:05:51.760 --> 0:05:52.880 future that doesn't. 0:05:52.640 --> 0:05:56.279 Include illegal immigration or these people should be made legal. 0:05:56.480 --> 0:05:58.000 Anyway, I'll just get back to the story. 0:05:58.360 --> 0:06:00.280 The chief executive said he can't see a few that 0:06:00.320 --> 0:06:03.320 doesn't include immigrant workers. Without them, there wouldn't be an industry. 0:06:04.040 --> 0:06:06.600 So then they go through President Trump's aggressive deportation, and 0:06:06.680 --> 0:06:09.679 he's got people within his cabinet that actually want everybody 0:06:09.760 --> 0:06:11.599 booted out, and then there's people that don't want everybody 0:06:11.640 --> 0:06:12.080 booted out. 0:06:12.240 --> 0:06:17.400 So Trump, again, like he often does, compinying. 0:06:17.120 --> 0:06:20.039 Like he's a bystander or he's doing a talk radio 0:06:20.160 --> 0:06:24.080 show and it's not his administration, comments like Friday or Saturday, 0:06:24.120 --> 0:06:26.280 and says, we can't be booting out. You know, people 0:06:26.320 --> 0:06:28.800 have been here for years working hard. Can we I mean, 0:06:29.400 --> 0:06:32.880 that'd be very disruptive. It's your program here, the president, 0:06:33.200 --> 0:06:36.280 what do you want to Trump traveling just in a 0:06:36.360 --> 0:06:39.200 different form than past administrations have sent them up. But 0:06:39.360 --> 0:06:45.160 the Department of Homeland Security last week DHS directed immigration 0:06:45.279 --> 0:06:50.279 officers to pause arrests at farms, restaurants, and hotels, stressing 0:06:50.320 --> 0:06:56.480 that sweeps should focus on people here illegally of criminal backgrounds. Okay, fine, 0:06:56.600 --> 0:07:00.279 But at the same time, dh just appeared to walk 0:07:00.360 --> 0:07:02.480 back its own directive. I don't know if somebody wrote 0:07:02.520 --> 0:07:07.080 that without Christy Nomes's knowledge or something like that in 0:07:07.160 --> 0:07:10.000 a letter to Immigration and Customs enforcement leadership over the weekend. 0:07:10.200 --> 0:07:12.680 Homeland Security Secretary, that's a person in charge of that 0:07:12.840 --> 0:07:16.280 very organization. I was just mentioning that said, let's not 0:07:16.920 --> 0:07:20.040 deport people or just airworking. Christy Nomes doubled down on 0:07:20.120 --> 0:07:22.400 the administration's efforts to aport millions of people living in 0:07:22.480 --> 0:07:25.800 the country illegally. We must dramatically intensify arrest and remove 0:07:25.800 --> 0:07:32.120 all operations nationwide. This is non negotiable as a national priority, right, say, 0:07:32.560 --> 0:07:35.880 we'll plan accordingly. Is your department that just said the 0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:38.280 day before not to so where are. 0:07:38.280 --> 0:07:38.720 You on this? 0:07:39.440 --> 0:07:41.400 Or maybe she doesn't know where the president is on this. 0:07:41.560 --> 0:07:44.120 I don't know. It's pretty clear to me what is happening. 0:07:44.200 --> 0:07:48.000 And I remember the first Trump administration was famously undisciplined 0:07:48.160 --> 0:07:51.560 in its messaging and like the coherence of the team, 0:07:52.320 --> 0:07:55.320 Trump's got a team of rivals to a large extent, 0:07:56.000 --> 0:08:01.640 and they all have access to social media and media 0:08:01.760 --> 0:08:05.520 leaks in a way that like Lincoln's team of rivals didn't. Plus, 0:08:06.280 --> 0:08:09.520 so you get conflicting messages coming out breaking news. 0:08:09.600 --> 0:08:13.960 Secretary Stewart did not tweet that's your breaking news. Yeah true. 0:08:14.240 --> 0:08:18.080 And the second thing is that Trump is more than 0:08:18.160 --> 0:08:22.640 willing to send a message to the business community. Yeah, 0:08:22.720 --> 0:08:24.600 we gotta go easy on the meat in the in 0:08:24.720 --> 0:08:27.560 the hotels and the agriculture. 0:08:27.600 --> 0:08:31.000 We gotta go easy on that. Then simultaneously truce out 0:08:31.160 --> 0:08:31.840 to the base. 0:08:32.400 --> 0:08:34.360 We're booting them all out, every single one of them. 0:08:34.400 --> 0:08:38.360 Pack your bags, folks, and everybody hears what they want 0:08:38.400 --> 0:08:38.640 to hear. 0:08:39.360 --> 0:08:40.760 Watch what they do, not what they say. 0:08:40.960 --> 0:08:43.600 Christinom went on to say, first she made sure her 0:08:43.679 --> 0:08:48.520 hair was cascading lovely around her shoulders, reglossed her swollen lips, 0:08:48.559 --> 0:08:50.560 and the lighting was okay, so she looked like she's 0:08:50.600 --> 0:08:54.160 on the cover of I don't know some fancy magazine. 0:08:54.840 --> 0:08:57.520 Ice agents will be judged every day by how many 0:08:57.640 --> 0:09:00.520 arrests you, your teammates, and your office are able to effectuate. 0:09:00.760 --> 0:09:01.840 Failure is not an option. 0:09:02.320 --> 0:09:04.280 I would take that as a thread at my job 0:09:04.360 --> 0:09:06.040 of like, if I don't have if I don't meet 0:09:06.080 --> 0:09:10.839 my goal numbers, I'm gonna get I'm gonna lose my job. Interestingly, though, 0:09:11.000 --> 0:09:13.599 she threads the needle in her next statement, if you 0:09:13.640 --> 0:09:16.360 were going to go there, go there. But she said, 0:09:16.920 --> 0:09:19.920 your workplace raids will remain a cornerstone of the President's 0:09:19.960 --> 0:09:23.280 deforportation plan. There will be no safe spaces for industries 0:09:23.320 --> 0:09:27.960 who harbor violent criminals. Wait a minute, whoa, whoa, whoa. 0:09:28.200 --> 0:09:31.360 That's different. That's threading the needle, or purposely try to 0:09:31.520 --> 0:09:34.880 undermine ICE's efforts. Well, what if I'm just running Joe's 0:09:34.920 --> 0:09:39.760 meatpacking plant and we just package up our delicious polk 0:09:39.880 --> 0:09:43.520 jobs with the help of some folks whose paperwork looks 0:09:43.520 --> 0:09:45.600 a little fishy, but they work hard in the nice people. 0:09:46.480 --> 0:09:49.520 I'm not harboring violent criminals, and I'm not undermining anyone. 0:09:49.640 --> 0:09:51.960 I think you should start booting out everybody. Just start 0:09:52.000 --> 0:09:54.840 booting out everybody, because it's the law. 0:09:54.960 --> 0:09:56.920 And you can until. 0:09:58.240 --> 0:10:02.480 Congress act, which might take a by the way, and 0:10:02.640 --> 0:10:05.679 I see what you're driving at now, enforce. 0:10:05.480 --> 0:10:06.440 The damn law. 0:10:07.240 --> 0:10:10.000 And if it's so disruptive in so many states that 0:10:10.120 --> 0:10:13.400 people are howling, and maybe Congress says, I suppose we 0:10:13.520 --> 0:10:18.560 better deal with this. Yeah, yeah, Maybe he could come 0:10:18.600 --> 0:10:20.959 out hand in hand with Chuck Schumer. That'd be a 0:10:21.160 --> 0:10:26.679 pu Corthy image. And Trump would say, look, my base 0:10:26.840 --> 0:10:31.080 won't let us pass serious immigration law, and Schumer says, 0:10:31.280 --> 0:10:35.360 neither will mine, and then we reckon with it. 0:10:35.440 --> 0:10:35.839 I don't know. 0:10:36.320 --> 0:10:38.439 So Trump was asked on the plane as he was 0:10:38.520 --> 0:10:41.560 flying back if there would still be exemptions on ice 0:10:41.679 --> 0:10:46.280 raids for certain industries, Trump said on Air Force one 0:10:46.440 --> 0:10:48.559 last night as he was flying back to the United States. 0:10:48.640 --> 0:10:50.920 Everyone is being looked at, but the bigger problem is 0:10:50.960 --> 0:10:51.800 the cities right now. 0:10:52.440 --> 0:10:53.880 I don't know what that answer means. 0:10:54.400 --> 0:10:57.079 So the Wall Street Journal has a little graph industries 0:10:57.120 --> 0:10:59.840 with the highest share of workers who are likely undocumented. 0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:03.200 You mean here illegally, you mean they're illegal immigrants. 0:11:04.400 --> 0:11:06.719 Wall Street Journal taking the language of the left to 0:11:06.840 --> 0:11:11.480 soften illegal immigration for obvious reasons in my mind. But landscaping, 0:11:11.960 --> 0:11:15.120 almost a fifth of landscapers are here illegally. 0:11:16.160 --> 0:11:20.080 Private households only assess. Yeah, I think they're undershooting lots. 0:11:20.360 --> 0:11:22.719 But private households said, be like nannies, and you know, 0:11:22.800 --> 0:11:27.160 whatever else help you're getting from. It's almost twenty percent 0:11:31.480 --> 0:11:34.079 services to buildings and dwellings. So that would be all 0:11:34.120 --> 0:11:36.400 the people doing all the maintenance around your big building 0:11:36.440 --> 0:11:38.720 and all that sort of stuff. It's about eighteen percent. 0:11:38.760 --> 0:11:41.840 It looks like in this graph crop production. This has 0:11:41.920 --> 0:11:45.599 got to be low seventeen percent crop production. Maybe I 0:11:45.640 --> 0:11:47.120 don't know about the rest of the country, but in 0:11:47.160 --> 0:11:48.120 California it's sure. 0:11:48.000 --> 0:11:51.679 Got to be higher on it. Animals slaughtering and processing 0:11:51.840 --> 0:11:55.000 what you can get it. You have a better term 0:11:55.080 --> 0:11:58.360 for that. The meat the yo today, honey good killed 0:11:58.360 --> 0:12:01.040 about fifteen cows at job. 0:12:01.120 --> 0:12:02.920 That last one really struggled though. It's hard to get 0:12:03.000 --> 0:12:08.000 him down. Wait to go, dad, that looks like sixteen 0:12:08.080 --> 0:12:10.760 seventeen percent. I think those numbers are low too, but 0:12:11.840 --> 0:12:15.760 it's and I'm sorry, those those numbers were illegals. 0:12:16.679 --> 0:12:21.640 That's right because un document Yes, land of immigrants. I 0:12:21.640 --> 0:12:23.400 don't know if you're where are that? 0:12:23.640 --> 0:12:25.839 Give me your huddled masses and have him kill cows 0:12:25.880 --> 0:12:30.520 for a living. If we I'll tell you this, this 0:12:30.600 --> 0:12:33.679 will be my I'm giving myself the final word for me. 0:12:35.360 --> 0:12:37.920 If we go through. If we go through this moment 0:12:39.440 --> 0:12:42.640 without either enforcing the law or changing the law, it 0:12:42.720 --> 0:12:45.679 will never happen. And you read my mind, And we'll 0:12:45.800 --> 0:12:50.640 just have an underground brown working class that does stuff 0:12:50.679 --> 0:12:53.079 we don't want to do that we can exploit for 0:12:53.200 --> 0:12:55.360 lower wages and give him all the perks that you 0:12:55.360 --> 0:12:59.040 would get as a US citizen and uh and whatever. 0:13:00.800 --> 0:13:04.199 With the full support of the America's left, which is 0:13:04.240 --> 0:13:06.599 constantly shouting about equity and the rest of it. 0:13:06.880 --> 0:13:10.559 Yes, equity for all except for my maid, say the 0:13:10.679 --> 0:13:11.880 limousine liberals. 0:13:12.080 --> 0:13:15.880 Keeping in mind, while Trump was crowing about deporting everyone 0:13:15.960 --> 0:13:18.240 while he's running for president, he got half of Hispanic 0:13:18.280 --> 0:13:18.720 males to. 0:13:18.720 --> 0:13:21.480 Vote for him. Yeah, as a Republican candidate. 0:13:22.679 --> 0:13:30.520 Armstrong, the Armstrong and getting show. 0:13:31.000 --> 0:13:34.959 Douglas Murray, the fabulous British thinker, gave this speech. I 0:13:35.000 --> 0:13:37.800 believe it was thirteen years ago. He was right then, 0:13:37.920 --> 0:13:39.880 he is right. Now, Let's hit it, Michael. 0:13:40.040 --> 0:13:43.760 When Israel is pushed to the situation, it will be 0:13:43.840 --> 0:13:47.920 pushed to of having to believe they mean it. And 0:13:48.040 --> 0:13:51.839 when every bit of jiggery pokery behind the scenes runs out, 0:13:52.000 --> 0:13:54.920 when the un and distinguished figures have run out of 0:13:55.080 --> 0:13:59.040 time and Iran is about to produce his first bomb 0:14:00.320 --> 0:14:06.520 will strike, every single country, including this one, will condemn Israel. 0:14:06.800 --> 0:14:11.840 Everyone in the Middle East will condemn Israel. And they 0:14:11.880 --> 0:14:14.760 will go back to their homes and they will say 0:14:14.920 --> 0:14:20.520 in private, thank God for Israel. The Saudis, the Barralis, 0:14:21.320 --> 0:14:25.920 the Egyptians, the Libyans, the Lebanese, everybody will say thank 0:14:26.120 --> 0:14:29.320 God they did it, because nobody else would. 0:14:29.960 --> 0:14:34.160 Everybody knows Israel has the most at stake in preventing 0:14:34.320 --> 0:14:38.240 Iran from having nukes, and everybody's known for a very 0:14:38.320 --> 0:14:41.760 long time, as Murray put it so eloquently, that they 0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:46.400 would make sure there won't happen. And so everybody else 0:14:46.480 --> 0:14:50.720 had the lovely and still has the lovely luxury of 0:14:50.880 --> 0:14:57.320 saying where against violence and for diplomacy. Israel, with their 0:14:57.520 --> 0:15:00.320 violence in the attacks, we don't approve and then they 0:15:00.400 --> 0:15:02.760 go to their homes and say, thank god they did it. Yeah. 0:15:02.840 --> 0:15:04.280 I saw a number of people over the week and 0:15:04.360 --> 0:15:08.440 say this really sets back the ability to negotiate. Actually, 0:15:08.520 --> 0:15:11.080 Ran Paul said that among other people here we were 0:15:11.120 --> 0:15:13.280 in the midst of negotiations in Israel, did this. 0:15:13.400 --> 0:15:17.040 This is not helpful at all. You're in your nuts. Wow, Wow, 0:15:17.160 --> 0:15:21.000 that is just delusional. Let's go roll on with mister Murray. 0:15:21.280 --> 0:15:24.920 The proposition being put before you tonight is that you 0:15:25.040 --> 0:15:27.560 have a choice between war. 0:15:29.160 --> 0:15:31.520 And an Iran with the bomb. 0:15:32.720 --> 0:15:35.120 You have a choice, as has been said before, between 0:15:35.160 --> 0:15:37.280 war and dishonor you'll choose to honor this evening and 0:15:37.360 --> 0:15:40.720 you'll get war. You have the choice between a war 0:15:41.440 --> 0:15:45.360 with a nuclear Iran or a war at some point 0:15:46.120 --> 0:15:48.960 with an Iran that is not nuclear, which you stop 0:15:49.040 --> 0:15:52.520 from ever being nuclear, and hope that in stopping that 0:15:52.720 --> 0:15:56.680 regime in embedding itself, you will give the Iranian people 0:15:56.760 --> 0:15:57.880 the best chance. 0:15:57.680 --> 0:15:59.960 They will have of overthrowing that regime. 0:16:00.080 --> 0:16:04.120 But as I say, thank God, this doesn't rely on 0:16:04.280 --> 0:16:07.800 you or any Europeans, because you've made the same mistake 0:16:07.880 --> 0:16:10.040 before and nobody should trust you to get it right 0:16:10.120 --> 0:16:10.520 this time. 0:16:14.120 --> 0:16:16.240 So I was in nineteen eighty one that Israel took 0:16:16.280 --> 0:16:18.760 out a nuclear facility. At that time, was it who 0:16:19.040 --> 0:16:20.680 was it? The Iraqis that were getting close to having 0:16:20.680 --> 0:16:25.680 a nuclear weapon, And it was Prime Minister Monachem Began 0:16:25.720 --> 0:16:28.840 at the time who made that call. And Reagan said 0:16:28.880 --> 0:16:31.680 that that was awful and just just like Douglas morilated, 0:16:31.800 --> 0:16:32.920 the whole world condemned it. 0:16:33.480 --> 0:16:33.960 And then. 0:16:35.600 --> 0:16:38.280 Prime Minister Began after his office out of office, was 0:16:38.320 --> 0:16:41.360 given the Medal of Freedom by Dick Cheney years later 0:16:41.480 --> 0:16:44.480 because in reality, behind closed doors, we were happier than 0:16:44.520 --> 0:16:47.520 all that Israel did what had to be done. Yeah, 0:16:47.600 --> 0:16:52.200 I'm cynical enough to get how domestic politics influence the 0:16:52.400 --> 0:16:56.200 pronouncements you make about foreign relations, even if behind the 0:16:56.280 --> 0:17:00.440 scenes your actual policies are very different than the proud But. 0:17:00.840 --> 0:17:04.080 It's just I get sick of it, you know. I'm 0:17:04.160 --> 0:17:06.760 just it's it's so obvious. 0:17:06.920 --> 0:17:10.040 If it's obvious to Austin Douglas Murray, I mean, it's 0:17:10.080 --> 0:17:11.399 obvious to a lot of people. 0:17:11.920 --> 0:17:12.959 What's going on now. 0:17:13.040 --> 0:17:17.480 I understand why Mohammed Bien Solomon has to pretend for 0:17:17.640 --> 0:17:20.399 the quote unquote arab street. You remember when that was 0:17:20.440 --> 0:17:22.960 a popular term. Anyway, I get why he has to 0:17:23.040 --> 0:17:24.920 pretend to condemn it and the rest of it. But 0:17:25.520 --> 0:17:29.520 our leaders, please just so phony. 0:17:30.280 --> 0:17:34.720 Jack Armstrong and Joe Setty The Armstrong and Getty Show, 0:17:38.560 --> 0:17:40.280 The Armstrong and Getty Show. 0:17:40.840 --> 0:17:44.760 Forty percent of US high school students reported feeling said 0:17:45.040 --> 0:17:48.680 or hopeless in twenty twenty three, and twenty percent had 0:17:48.880 --> 0:17:51.359 seriously considered attempting suicide. 0:17:51.600 --> 0:17:56.440 I appreciated that Meet the Press on Sunday did not 0:17:56.760 --> 0:18:01.719 go with the usual news of the day, particularly around 0:18:01.960 --> 0:18:06.000 Donald Trump. They went with the crisis that we've talked 0:18:06.040 --> 0:18:09.240 about a lot and should be treated like a crisis. 0:18:09.400 --> 0:18:13.960 That people are lonelier than ever, young people are killing 0:18:14.000 --> 0:18:18.359 themselves and taking medications to deal with anxiety, and all of. 0:18:18.359 --> 0:18:19.000 Blah blah blah. 0:18:19.119 --> 0:18:22.080 We know all this stuff as being like a lead story, 0:18:22.320 --> 0:18:25.360 which it is, should be a lead story, the lead 0:18:25.440 --> 0:18:26.360 story every week. 0:18:26.520 --> 0:18:29.240 B this is what Trump did yesterday. 0:18:29.119 --> 0:18:31.880 For so cynical about these people, I wonder whether they're 0:18:31.920 --> 0:18:34.119 doing that for the right reason or if their ratings 0:18:34.119 --> 0:18:36.959 are just dropping off with never ending Trump hysteria. But anyway, 0:18:37.040 --> 0:18:39.720 back to the very, very important topics. Let's hear a 0:18:39.760 --> 0:18:41.920 little more from Christian Walker of Meet the Press, laying 0:18:41.960 --> 0:18:42.920 out some of the facts here. 0:18:43.200 --> 0:18:46.600 Two thirds of gen z report feelings of loneliness, and 0:18:46.840 --> 0:18:50.280 half of young adults report symptoms of anxiety and depression. 0:18:50.920 --> 0:18:54.000 Youth suicide rates are climbing. It is now one of 0:18:54.080 --> 0:18:57.400 the leading causes of death in adolescence and young adults. 0:18:58.080 --> 0:19:01.520 Almost one in five young adults report rarely or never 0:19:01.720 --> 0:19:06.000 receiving the social support they need. In our super connected times, 0:19:06.040 --> 0:19:10.200 over fifty five million US adults report frequent loneliness. The 0:19:10.359 --> 0:19:13.119 smartphones and social media apps that connect us to the 0:19:13.160 --> 0:19:15.280 world are also accelerating the crisis. 0:19:15.680 --> 0:19:17.280 That's one thing about this story. 0:19:17.400 --> 0:19:21.480 I feel like every single time we quickly get to smartphones, 0:19:21.640 --> 0:19:26.320 social media and everybody's aware of this already, there's a 0:19:26.359 --> 0:19:29.200 lot like there's not like the next sentence or the 0:19:29.280 --> 0:19:35.040 next whatever comes after that, So we should what don't 0:19:35.119 --> 0:19:37.800 make it? Have Superman fly around the world real really 0:19:37.840 --> 0:19:40.280 fast and turn back time to be four smartphones. 0:19:40.440 --> 0:19:41.879 If that were possible, I'd be all for it. 0:19:42.720 --> 0:19:45.400 Right, I'm trying to remember there was a great phrase 0:19:45.560 --> 0:19:49.240 by Caitlin Flannagan I think, who wrote that we're drowning 0:19:49.320 --> 0:19:49.760 in the stuff. 0:19:49.800 --> 0:19:52.320 It's killing us, but we like it under the water. Ah, 0:19:53.040 --> 0:19:55.800 that's pretty good. Yeah, that's pretty good. 0:19:56.320 --> 0:19:58.920 Now, combining a couple of things that are related and 0:19:59.040 --> 0:20:03.480 not related, I guess. So this Netflix show Adolescents that's 0:20:03.480 --> 0:20:06.600 getting a tremendous amount of attention. It's already got one 0:20:06.680 --> 0:20:11.080 hundred and fourteen million views, which is a lot compared 0:20:11.119 --> 0:20:15.200 to like regular TV shows. It's based on a horrifying 0:20:15.359 --> 0:20:19.400 story of a middle schooler boy who murdered his classmate girl. 0:20:20.080 --> 0:20:22.080 And one of the reasons it's getting a fair amount 0:20:22.080 --> 0:20:25.440 of attention by the New York Times, and Gavin Newsom 0:20:25.560 --> 0:20:27.120 talked about how he had to turn it off as 0:20:27.240 --> 0:20:30.680 horrifying is because they present a lot of it as 0:20:31.880 --> 0:20:36.720 right wing, toxic masculinity that is caught on on social 0:20:36.800 --> 0:20:38.960 media and the Tate Brothers and that sort of stuff. 0:20:39.240 --> 0:20:43.080 But and it goes too far all of that stuff 0:20:43.200 --> 0:20:46.320 is true, but it leaves out, you know, there's plenty 0:20:46.480 --> 0:20:49.720 on all sides of what's wrong with social media and 0:20:49.800 --> 0:20:55.000 what it's doing to people and their worldviews, especially young men. 0:20:55.680 --> 0:20:59.000 And then this story that also fits into it, I think, 0:20:59.440 --> 0:21:02.240 is this thing. It became a TikTok craze, but the 0:21:02.640 --> 0:21:04.800 I think there's a lot of truth in it. It's 0:21:04.880 --> 0:21:09.640 the idea of men calling each other at night and saying, hey, 0:21:09.920 --> 0:21:11.960 just want to say good night to you. You know 0:21:12.040 --> 0:21:15.359 you're a good friend, and saying good night. And I 0:21:15.480 --> 0:21:22.119 thought that's because that's a thing that usually gets taken 0:21:22.280 --> 0:21:26.560 care of by having a girlfriend or wife or boyfriend 0:21:26.640 --> 0:21:30.480 or husband if you're gay, but you have a relationship 0:21:30.960 --> 0:21:33.600 of somebody that's gonna text you goodnight, call you good night, 0:21:34.040 --> 0:21:36.560 or is in bed next to you, and so many 0:21:36.640 --> 0:21:39.440 people don't. Now it was kind of presented as like 0:21:39.520 --> 0:21:41.680 a joke, but I could see how that could be 0:21:41.720 --> 0:21:44.040 a thing. I'm not gonna do it, but I can 0:21:44.119 --> 0:21:45.960 see how that could be a thing because you're lacking 0:21:46.080 --> 0:21:48.200 that in your life. Nobody at the end of the 0:21:48.280 --> 0:21:51.280 day that says, yeah, thinking about you, goodnight, miss you, 0:21:51.520 --> 0:21:56.560 something like that. Yeah, these are very troubling developments. I'm 0:21:56.760 --> 0:21:59.800 struck by and I'm trying to find the right words. 0:22:00.119 --> 0:22:06.760 How much of this stuff is antiseptic? Is the closest 0:22:06.800 --> 0:22:11.360 I'm getting. What I'm what I'm driving at is online interaction, 0:22:12.400 --> 0:22:15.680
