Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe, Katty.
Speaker 2: Armstrong and Petty and he arms range.
Speaker 3: Even from studio c play signor We're in a dimly
Speaker 3: let room, all right, deep with them the bowels of
Speaker 3: the Armstrong and Getty Communications Compound, Hope Day, middle of
Speaker 3: the weekend.
Speaker 2: Today, the title of the.
Speaker 4: Show is dog shows and football Games, anything but the news,
Speaker 4: you know, thinking of an optional title, something like, I'm
Speaker 4: not in the Epstein Files. Oh man, anybody who's anybody
Speaker 4: is in those those files, those emails, those messages.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I wonder, yeah, I might have reached the point
Speaker 1: where if you're not in him kind of a bit
Speaker 1: of a downer because you're obviously not a player. Precisely
Speaker 1: because John Stewart was doing the Daily Show is kind
Speaker 1: of interesting. He was going through all the people that
Speaker 1: were in the Epstein files and was horrified by the
Speaker 1: lack of investigation and outrage by people that so many
Speaker 1: important men are caught up in the Epstein files. And
Speaker 1: I was thinking, Okay, a lot of the examples you've
Speaker 1: given have been kind of explained, and then there's nothing
Speaker 1: to it. But then then he mentions how he's in
Speaker 1: the Epstein files. But it's just because at some point
Speaker 1: Epstein said, you know, we ought to do a fundraiser
Speaker 1: and we could get an mcee somebody like John Stewart
Speaker 1: to come in and blah blah blah. But that was
Speaker 1: that was his name being in the Epstein files. Okay,
Speaker 1: you just proved your point, though, Dude, you just did
Speaker 1: a you're in it, and in a way, that's got
Speaker 1: nothing to do with you being part of a child
Speaker 1: sex ring. We're dismembering baby's orgy. Uh, yes, that's in there.
Speaker 1: And so how do you ad every other name that's
Speaker 1: in there to how do you act like it's clear
Speaker 1: proof that these people should be in prison.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 4: I'm just so discouraged by all of it. You're right, Yeah,
Speaker 4: you're the only one who's innocently mentioned John in the
Speaker 4: three million pages, and I think we can all assume
Speaker 4: that everybody else is an active child rapist. That's just
Speaker 4: so stupid. So, you know, I was getting ready to
Speaker 4: do the title of the show today.
Speaker 1: I'm looking at all the news clips, the headlines and
Speaker 1: stuff like that and thinking there's nothing funny there.
Speaker 4: That's just depressing. I don't want to joke about that.
Speaker 4: I'm sick of that.
Speaker 2: You know. Just well, I'll tell you what.
Speaker 1: I've kind of gotten caught up in the uh who
Speaker 1: done it? That is Savannah Guthrie's missing mom, and it's
Speaker 1: got the What's interesting to me is Joe and I
Speaker 1: haven't done this show for thirty years.
Speaker 2: I don't know if I'm happy about that or not.
Speaker 2: That's a long time. Sorry.
Speaker 1: The arc of these stories is almost always the same,
Speaker 1: and I don't know if you've noticed in the last
Speaker 1: eighteen hours.
Speaker 2: I don't even know if a full twenty four hours
Speaker 2: it's done.
Speaker 1: That thing where they start to attack the local police,
Speaker 1: which always happens, always happens in these things where you
Speaker 1: start to get into the they're incompetent and the blood this.
Speaker 2: And that and that and everything like that.
Speaker 1: They didn't even check the blind right right, which has
Speaker 1: gotta suck if you're, you know, in the sheriff department
Speaker 1: in a sleepy town and you've never had twenty media
Speaker 1: people screaming questions that you ever, maybe even.
Speaker 2: One ever screaming questions at you over a case.
Speaker 1: And like I was listening to Fox a little bit
Speaker 1: ago on the on the drive to work and how
Speaker 1: his first press conference he released a lot of information
Speaker 1: he obviously shouldn't have been retrospect and I'm sure blah
Speaker 1: blah blah, just you know, nitpicking the various things which
Speaker 1: might be true.
Speaker 2: But regardless, that's that's.
Speaker 1: These things always take that shape at some point where
Speaker 1: you're attacking the police that we're doing the work in
Speaker 1: the beginning, Like I was watching News Nation and they
Speaker 1: used this prejudicial term. So one of the stories yesterday
Speaker 1: was I think a media organization was the first to
Speaker 1: notice blood spots on the on the ground. I don't
Speaker 1: know if it was first the media or the cops,
Speaker 1: but anyway, one media outlet portrayed as them noticed it.
Speaker 1: And but then the the reporting this today was and
Speaker 1: the sheriff refusing to address the blood spots. Okay, did
Speaker 1: he just not address them or say they're looking into it,
Speaker 1: or did he refuse to which is a very pretty
Speaker 1: he did.
Speaker 4: He might have said it's not appropriate for us to
Speaker 4: talk about that.
Speaker 1: That's obviously a very prejudicial term to make it seem
Speaker 1: like they're stonewalling or something. And so that that's why
Speaker 1: these things always go where they get their own. It's
Speaker 1: right there in the playbook at the Okay, there's nothing
Speaker 1: new to report, what do we go with? What are
Speaker 1: There's probably like three options, and it's one of the
Speaker 1: three every single damn time the local cops suck or
Speaker 1: you know, it could be a family member. Then you
Speaker 1: go through every family member who's ever had a traffic ticket.
Speaker 2: You know, it's the stalling for somewhere to happen.
Speaker 1: You find a family member or a neighbor who gives
Speaker 1: a kind of weird answer because they're not used to
Speaker 1: having cameras put in their face, and then you go
Speaker 1: on all kinds of speculation that's not the way you'd
Speaker 1: normally answer that.
Speaker 2: Cocks end of it, docst them.
Speaker 1: And yeah, so these things always have the same shape
Speaker 1: to them, and so this one gets launched because it's
Speaker 1: the relative of a celebrity. But then once it makes
Speaker 1: the radar, then it gets its own momentum of a
Speaker 1: who done it?
Speaker 2: Which, you know, those are interesting.
Speaker 1: That's why so many people watch Dateline in twenty twenty.
Speaker 1: If you get presented with a an interesting who done it?
Speaker 1: An old lady disappears in the middle of the night,
Speaker 1: that's that's that's a pretty decent hook. Now, the whole
Speaker 1: ransom note story that came from the media, the Sheriff's
Speaker 1: department says they're aware of this story, but somebody apparently
Speaker 1: sends ransom notes to TMZ and other TV stations. Well,
Speaker 1: that could be a crack pot obviously, or could be
Speaker 1: the abductors. But I was I was thinking about how
Speaker 1: oftentimes on our text line, like I'll ask a question
Speaker 1: about something or whatever I've done this in the past,
Speaker 1: and then get an answer, and then I start corresponding
Speaker 1: with the person and then quickly find out or sometimes
Speaker 1: they even admit no, I was just joking with you.
Speaker 1: I don't know anything about this, or I don't know
Speaker 1: that guy, or I've never been there or whatever. There
Speaker 1: are people that just like to insert themselves and stuff
Speaker 1: like that.
Speaker 4: I'm picturing myself as a non crack pot abductor of
Speaker 4: old ladies who are related to people on television, and
Speaker 4: I can't see any advantage to sending my ransom note
Speaker 4: to TMZ.
Speaker 2: As I suppose that's a pretty good point the family.
Speaker 1: That's a really the cop if you actually wanted to
Speaker 1: make money, you as the abductor and the family themselves
Speaker 1: would probably want this to not be in the news
Speaker 1: at all and to deal with it behind the scenes.
Speaker 1: If you were actually trying to get what did they want?
Speaker 1: A couple million dollars in bitcoin or sometimes yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah right.
Speaker 1: If you were actually trying to make that money, the
Speaker 1: best way to do it wouldn't be to send the
Speaker 1: note to TMZ. Now, if you wanted to be a
Speaker 1: weirdo troll who gets some sort of jollies out of
Speaker 1: seeing your little interaction on the news, that is exactly
Speaker 1: what you would do.
Speaker 2: You would send it to AMZ. Yeah wow, can.
Speaker 1: You One of the reasons this is compelling is what
Speaker 1: an incredible nightmare? Just can't even imagine how that would
Speaker 1: take over your life all of a sudden.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, obviously, I mean, and you know, couldn't eat
Speaker 2: or sleep.
Speaker 1: As gruesome as it is to say this, I think
Speaker 1: at day four, I don't know at what point you'd
Speaker 1: be thinking this is not gonna have a good ending.
Speaker 4: Right, So you're the head detective, think of an out
Speaker 4: of the box way to approach this. I thought of mine.
Speaker 4: I put out the word across all the Tucson. Look,
Speaker 4: you're not going to be blamed at all or you know,
Speaker 4: just in that part of the suburbs whatever. Who has
Speaker 4: in the last month or last six months mentioned to
Speaker 4: somebody You know, Savannah Guthrie from the.
Speaker 2: Is it the Today Show? I got to watch that. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you know Savannah Guthrie from the Today Show? Her mom
Speaker 2: lives in this neighborhood. Think of that.
Speaker 4: If you've ever mentioned that to somebody and try to
Speaker 4: remember who you mentioned it to. That's a good one
Speaker 4: because it's going to be some half wet loser moron
Speaker 4: with a half baked abduction plot. That's that's my gut feeling.
Speaker 4: And I certainly could be wrong. But she's a.
Speaker 2: Big deal at NBC.
Speaker 1: I mean she I don't know if she was supposed
Speaker 1: to do the opening ceremony this Friday night for the Olympics, yes,
Speaker 1: but she certainly has in the past.
Speaker 2: Now she was a big part of the coverage and
Speaker 2: is not doing it now.
Speaker 1: She's usually the like the main face of these Olympics,
Speaker 1: which is a huge TV show. And uh ah, God,
Speaker 1: and then imagine dealing with that that your mom whatever
Speaker 1: ends up happening to her because you're famous, and oh ah,
Speaker 1: that's a lot, right, right, yeah, the whole You can
Speaker 1: figure out where people live and everything period of the world,
Speaker 1: if and and who knows what it was, Because when
Speaker 1: you're dealing with crazy people, they have crazy reason to
Speaker 1: do what they do that don't make any sense.
Speaker 2: I suspect very strongly, that's what this is.
Speaker 1: Samana Guthrie does news every day. She could have said
Speaker 1: something about a particular hot topic that somebody didn't like and.
Speaker 2: Knew where her mom lived or who knows. You never know,
Speaker 2: God knows.
Speaker 4: Anybody decides to bother me. Just know I am a
Speaker 4: gun owner. I will pull the trigger until I hear
Speaker 4: click click that I will go retrieve a bat and
Speaker 4: beat you to make sure the job is done.
Speaker 2: There you go.
Speaker 1: Same, that's my fao, Sa, that's my that's my favorite
Speaker 1: response to long things like that.
Speaker 2: I agree, so I don't have to do a lot
Speaker 2: of typing. Same. Let's lean it on AI for your
Speaker 2: responses to me. Now, are you you're bastards? No?
Speaker 1: AI has always got some sort of smiley faces and
Speaker 1: exclamation points and not that guy. So let's start to
Speaker 1: show officially, I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe Getty on this.
Speaker 1: It is Wednesday, February fourth the year twenty twenty six,
Speaker 1: w armstrong and getting we approved of this program.
Speaker 2: Let's begin then officially.
Speaker 4: According to f CC rules regulations, the show starts officially
Speaker 4: at Mark.
Speaker 1: For Weston show at the one hundred and fifty. If
Speaker 1: Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show is the Doverman.
Speaker 5: Pency's Party of the Government Penster with Bandy Lawton, Westminster
Speaker 5: one fifty goes to Petty the Golberman picture.
Speaker 1: For past show.
Speaker 3: My goodness, Jimmy got Pit of Boys the dog Chow.
Speaker 1: For twenty though, that's the Doberman Pincher. Uh So, here's
Speaker 1: our question. Do they have the Westminster Dog Show every
Speaker 1: other week? Because it seems like it. There is no
Speaker 1: blanking way. It's been a year since we last talked
Speaker 1: about it. No chance it's monthly or every six or
Speaker 1: eight weeks or something like that.
Speaker 2: It's ridiculous.
Speaker 1: As often as there's a blue harvest moon, it seems
Speaker 1: like it's every every other month. Certainly it's I remember
Speaker 1: when we were kids, that was the tough guy dog.
Speaker 1: If you were a hard eye, yeah yeah, and you
Speaker 1: wanted a scary dog, it'd be a Doberman pincher.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: When we were kids. Pit bulls were Doberman.
Speaker 1: Pinchers, right, yeah, exactly, or Doberman pitchers anyway. Uh yeah,
Speaker 1: and you're you're somewhat more responsible. Dog was always the
Speaker 1: German Shepherd, which is a beautiful and intelligent breed but
Speaker 1: can be scary. But yeah, there's a guy. So I
Speaker 1: go to the gym every single day. I'll do this
Speaker 1: fast because were around of time. I go to the
Speaker 1: gym every day, and I see this guy headed to
Speaker 1: the dog park which is right by the gym, and
Speaker 1: he's got he's a military guy who was one of
Speaker 1: those hats that you know, lets you know, he's a
Speaker 1: retired military dude. He's got this unbelievably trained a German Shepherd.
Speaker 1: So he has it off leash, which your dog is
Speaker 1: trained like this. I don't freaking care, but he he said,
Speaker 1: go ahead, and then then dobra men picture will run
Speaker 1: down the sidewalk, go around the corner, go to the
Speaker 1: dog park, open the gate, jump up on the gate
Speaker 1: with its paws, open the gate, and then run in
Speaker 1: the dog park and run around and play with the
Speaker 1: dogs before he gets there.
Speaker 2: It's really cool. Wow, it's fantastic, amazing.
Speaker 1: We've got Katie's headlines on the way. We got some
Speaker 1: news of the day. We shot down a drone with
Speaker 1: Iran yesterday. But we're having uh conversations with them this
Speaker 1: Saturday and whatnot.
Speaker 4: Turns to the dog. You know, Excel isn't working right,
Speaker 4: it keeps freezing up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, why don't we reboot? Reboot it? Dog always has
Speaker 2: the same answer, did you plug it? Reboot? All right?
Speaker 1: All this stuff on the way? Stay here, how you doing.
Speaker 1: Welcome to the show. And wants to talk about today
Speaker 1: super Bowls on Sunday. Kind of excited about that. Gonna
Speaker 1: make Michael's cheese dip. We have it at the website. Michael,
Speaker 1: somebody wants to make.
Speaker 2: It che dip. It's so good, so good, so cheesy.
Speaker 4: Let's figure out who's reporting what it's the lead story
Speaker 4: with Katie Green.
Speaker 6: Katie of course, Alphabet Networks talking about Epstein, NBC, Bill
Speaker 6: and Hillary Clinton in a standoff with House Republicans over
Speaker 6: format of Epstein testimony, CNN new files deep in a
Speaker 6: critical mystery about those who partied with Jeffrey Epstein.
Speaker 2: And ABC.
Speaker 6: Bill Gates denies allegations in new Epstein files release.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Bill Gates's wife on a ex wife on a
Speaker 1: podcast yesterday.
Speaker 2: We're going to play some of that later.
Speaker 1: She says, the Epstein's stuff coming out is why she
Speaker 1: divorced Bill Gates.
Speaker 2: That's why their marriage came apart. Oh really yeah? Oh?
Speaker 6: From Fox News, US military shoots down Iranian drone approaching
Speaker 6: the USS Abraham Lincoln in international waters.
Speaker 2: What was that all about? Just seeing if we were
Speaker 2: for real or what?
Speaker 4: Probably? Yeah, testing our defenses. We're still meeting with them
Speaker 4: in spite of that. Eh, by gun, So what are
Speaker 4: under the bridge?
Speaker 2: New York Times.
Speaker 6: Russia and Ukraine resumed talks after a huge attack by Moscow.
Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal says Russia cannot sustain this.
Speaker 4: Their losses are horrific. Their economy is teetering. They cannot
Speaker 4: sustain it. Hanging there.
Speaker 1: So this is the bluster of an out of gas
Speaker 1: bully at the very end here.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well said, that's the theory. I'm not saying I
Speaker 4: necessarily by it, but it's a pretty weighty group.
Speaker 2: The editorial board of the journal.
Speaker 6: From the Washington Post, several states moved to ban local
Speaker 6: cooperation and immigration arrests. Oh woweh, New Mexico, New York, Hawaii,
Speaker 6: and Virginia considering those bands.
Speaker 2: Page six.
Speaker 6: FBI agents visit Savannah Guthrie's sister's house in desperate search
Speaker 6: for the mom.
Speaker 1: Nancy Like, so his sister dropped mom off? Is that correct?
Speaker 1: That's what I've read. Yeah, yeah, And then that was
Speaker 1: the last she was seen. And then I heard of
Speaker 1: news reports this morning. The sister was asked what was
Speaker 1: mom wearing when you dropped or off? And didn't have
Speaker 1: an answer. How would you not remember what your mom
Speaker 1: was wearing when he.
Speaker 2: Dropped her off?
Speaker 1: And I thought, I don't know that I would remember.
Speaker 1: I don't know that would either. Yeah, that's what always
Speaker 1: happens with these sorts of stories, that sort of thing.
Speaker 6: This one from the Atlantic, the Unsettling Rise of AI.
Speaker 2: Real Estate slop to tell.
Speaker 6: They're talking about how real estate agents are using AI
Speaker 6: to furnish the inside of homes and kind of make
Speaker 6: them look nicer, and the people that are considering buying
Speaker 6: these homes are walking in and seeing the real thing
Speaker 6: and getting their hearts broken.
Speaker 2: I'm glad you brought us the word slop.
Speaker 1: I'd become aware in the last several days that that's
Speaker 1: the hot word for anybody discussing anything about the Internet
Speaker 1: or AI's slop.
Speaker 2: All the smart people are using the word slap.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 4: I was just gonna do a fascinating test and and
Speaker 4: and duck down so you couldn't see me and ask
Speaker 4: what am what am I wearing? But I then it
Speaker 4: occurred to me Katie and Michael and I were discussing
Speaker 4: it earlier. Yeah, that Michael and I are both wearing
Speaker 4: olive drab. But you never would have been able to
Speaker 4: say a green Fort Sumter T shirt. No, I've been
Speaker 4: staring at you for a half an hour and laughingly.
Speaker 4: And if you had ducked down behind the desk and said, sir,
Speaker 4: of mine wearing I wouldn't have known right right.
Speaker 2: Need to know.
Speaker 6: News from study fines horses can smell your fear and
Speaker 6: it makes them afraid.
Speaker 1: To anybody who's ever been around a horse or a
Speaker 1: dog knows that's true.
Speaker 2: This is new news, how this horse.
Speaker 1: Can smell your I was a little bit concerned where
Speaker 1: that was gone. I know your cologne, until if you're
Speaker 1: a douche bag, you can see thee wow.
Speaker 6: And finally the Babylon Bee Hollywood very confused. Does guy
Speaker 6: keep saying geez this but does not appear to be
Speaker 6: using it as a curse word.
Speaker 1: That's a good yeah, yeah, that's a good. Slap is
Speaker 1: a good term.
Speaker 3: Though.
Speaker 1: It's like you know, when you google something and like
Speaker 1: the first of fifteen things are crap you don't need.
Speaker 1: That's one of the uses of the term slop, Internet
Speaker 1: slop and how it applies to AI and all kinds
Speaker 1: of different stuff.
Speaker 2: We'll talk about that more later. It's the hot term.
Speaker 2: You got to use it armstrong and getty.
Speaker 7: During our efforts to identify and implement improvements of how
Speaker 7: operations are planned, conducted, and managed, we identified the gap
Speaker 7: in regard to the use of body worn cameras. This
Speaker 7: is actually raised by the workforce when I started walking
Speaker 7: around talking to people here. Some officers and agents had them,
Speaker 7: some didn't. That inconsistency was unacceptable, so we moved immediately
Speaker 7: to prioritize full body camp deployment in the city. I
Speaker 7: discussed this with Secretary Nome a couple of days ago,
Speaker 7: and she made the decision to the toy then.
Speaker 2: So that's Tom Holman.
Speaker 1: Trump sent him to Minneapolis to calm things down, which
Speaker 1: he's definitely doing and he definitely has that. Okay, the
Speaker 1: silliness is over a grown up is in charge sort
Speaker 1: of demeanor. And like in his little speech that he
Speaker 1: just did a couple hours ago or just he is
Speaker 1: still talking right now, but he had something for both sides.
Speaker 1: They're drawing down seven hundred personnel that they're going to
Speaker 1: pull out of there. Everybody's got to have a body cam,
Speaker 1: as you just heard there. He said it's unacceptable that
Speaker 1: they don't have body cameras. He went on on about
Speaker 1: you know how we need to have a professional level
Speaker 1: of policing here that is, and we're going to work
Speaker 1: on that and make sure that happens, all that.
Speaker 2: Sort of stuff.
Speaker 4: But then he also suggesting quite clearly that there hadn't
Speaker 4: been sure that's the underlying suggestion.
Speaker 2: Yes, But then he also said this, for those who are.
Speaker 7: Not a national security threat or public safety public safety risk,
Speaker 7: you are not exempt greation enforcement actions. If you're in
Speaker 7: the country legally, you are not off the table. And
Speaker 7: let me be clear, President Trump fully intends to achieve
Speaker 7: mass deportations during this administration, and immigration enforcement actions will
Speaker 7: continue every day throughout this country. So after all that,
Speaker 7: President Trump made a promise and we have not directed otherwise.
Speaker 1: So after all that, you know, booting out seven hundred people,
Speaker 1: need to be a more professional blah blah blah.
Speaker 2: He said.
Speaker 1: If you're here illegally though some sort of legal repercussions coming,
Speaker 1: that's the law, which is true. I just I can't
Speaker 1: I can't get over this. I can't get over this,
Speaker 1: and I must be something wrong with me because eating
Speaker 1: a lot of people on like my side of thinking generally,
Speaker 1: are like, well, you know, they've been here working for
Speaker 1: so long. I understand that, But then, okay, what do
Speaker 1: you want the law to be?
Speaker 2: Fine, let's change the law. If we want to make
Speaker 2: the law.
Speaker 1: If you've been here for this many years and you
Speaker 1: have a committed to crime, blah blah blah, you get
Speaker 1: to stay fine, But you gotta do that right.
Speaker 4: I think what we're seeing is, for the first time ever,
Speaker 4: the actual close the borders, regulate immigration crowd is running
Speaker 4: the federal government and the Republican Party notably, and they
Speaker 4: are clashing with the yeah we're gonna make noise about it,
Speaker 4: but never do anything about it crowd. And while I
Speaker 4: have a lot of problems with the way some of
Speaker 4: this stuff has gone down because it's lost gobs of
Speaker 4: support in America, which is going to interfere with our
Speaker 4: ability to do other good stuff. It could be that,
Speaker 4: you know, Stephen Miller and company are like, Okay, you
Speaker 4: want different actions.
Speaker 2: Change the law. Congress, deal with this, change the law.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: I have sympathy to that point of view. I doubt
Speaker 1: it'll happen on well. And as I mentioned yesterday, I
Speaker 1: like this line of thinking. Kevin Williamson was writing about
Speaker 1: it for the Dispatch of You're serious when you start
Speaker 1: arresting people who run companies who have been hiring illegals
Speaker 1: by the hundreds or thousands for years, either arresting or
Speaker 1: I sent him a letter saying you better stop, like
Speaker 1: today or whatever. That's when you're serious about this, and
Speaker 1: that would be the quickest way you want self deportation.
Speaker 1: People can't get a job at the local rendering plant
Speaker 1: or wherever you're working. You're cutting off chickenheads factory. If
Speaker 1: you can't get a job there, can work if you
Speaker 1: can get it rewarding, cleaning rooms at the hotel or wherever.
Speaker 4: Yeah, a lot of people are going to self deport well,
Speaker 4: some of those big busts and employers. The phone was
Speaker 4: picked up and the call was made to the White
Speaker 4: House because some of these super giants of industry, they
Speaker 4: have a direct line Trump or people very very close
Speaker 4: to them and said hey, hey, that's enough of that,
Speaker 4: and they called off the dogs on those things.
Speaker 1: There's no will to do that in the halls of power. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so pretty clever what Homan just did. Because all the
Speaker 1: headlines on CNN and MSNBC and ABCMC and headlines everywhere,
Speaker 1: all the headlines are the draw down of the seven
Speaker 1: hundred agents. So that really makes it seem like, Okay,
Speaker 1: the craziness is over, even you know, even though that
Speaker 1: stuff he said there at the end, if you're here illegally,
Speaker 1: you know something's going to happen.
Speaker 2: You're not off the hook. Yeah. I like Tom Holman.
Speaker 2: I think he's a straight shooter.
Speaker 4: But I I'm curious to see what happens next. So
Speaker 4: one of the how the actions match the rhetoric on
Speaker 4: all sides. One of the reasons I brought this up
Speaker 4: was this sort of thing is we've been talking about
Speaker 4: illegal immigration for well for thirty years, because the show's
Speaker 4: based in California, and illegal immigration has been a really
Speaker 4: big story in California long before it reached a lot
Speaker 4: of the rest of the country with you know, should
Speaker 4: he have a driver's licenses or being allowed to work
Speaker 4: and all these different sorts of things. But oh, and
Speaker 4: then way way back in the day, we passed a
Speaker 4: prop in California like, no, if you're here illegally, you
Speaker 4: don't get services.
Speaker 2: You just don't.
Speaker 1: And even in California we said no no services for
Speaker 1: illegal but then it got overturned by the courts, which
Speaker 1: is really really maddening. And then popular sentiment went the
Speaker 1: other way too in Cali, Unicornia. Yeah, honestly, but so
Speaker 1: actually a little just a little show show history here.
Speaker 2: I think folks might be amused by this.
Speaker 4: We actually got our original talk radio gig one well
Speaker 4: one step removed because the popular host of the show
Speaker 4: made an untoured joke about illegal immigrants and it caused
Speaker 4: a huge uproar among the uh the activist community, and
Speaker 4: he got dismissed way back in the day.
Speaker 2: So yeah, that's almost the genesis of the damn thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we handled that where we heard this talk show
Speaker 1: host say something about illegals.
Speaker 2: So then we started calling people, did you what it should?
Speaker 2: I was outrighterous, not shouting happened. You need so many
Speaker 2: different there.
Speaker 1: Until we burned up the fat machine man, until we
Speaker 1: got him fired, and then we swept in and took
Speaker 1: the job. Now we've been here for thirty years, which
Speaker 1: is a really really long time again, and.
Speaker 4: Now we're on Stolen Land, which runs here. I've got
Speaker 4: a great commentary on the Billie Eilish Stupid.
Speaker 2: And we broadcast on stolen Land. No one is illegal
Speaker 2: on stolen Land, I hear you.
Speaker 1: So that means that you can steal the land and
Speaker 1: you're not illegal, or I'm sorry, you can immigrate but
Speaker 1: there are no borders. Well, then what does it mean
Speaker 1: to I'm not sure that young Ladies thought out her
Speaker 1: philosophy on immigration. But so I'm watching MSNBC this morning,
Speaker 1: and this is the sort of thing that's been driving
Speaker 1: me crazy for thirty years when you talk about illegal immigration,
Speaker 1: and it's always the blurring the lines, either on purpose
Speaker 1: or because you're too stupid to understand you're doing it
Speaker 1: between legal immigration and illegal not legal immigration, legal and
Speaker 1: not legal immigration, and just you know, throwing back the
Speaker 1: terms or stats back and forth as if they're interchangeable.
Speaker 1: They're different things anyway, So they did this I'm watching
Speaker 1: Mika Brazinski on MSNBC this morning, and you're talking about,
Speaker 1: you know, more crackdowns in Minneapolis and how awful it is,
Speaker 1: and the rhetoric are President Trump and this and that
Speaker 1: and data and how I mean, they're they're walled a
Speaker 1: wall on how awful it is that we're as a
Speaker 1: country doing this to brown people in Minneapolis. And then
Speaker 1: she says, with the backdrop of a new study that
Speaker 1: shows immigration has been a net plus for the United States. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and that's your big slam dunk boo, yah, gotcha. How
Speaker 1: are you going to react to this comment? Well, I
Speaker 1: would hope immigration has been a net plus.
Speaker 2: Or why are we doing it at all?
Speaker 1: Good Lord, The whole theory is that it's a net plus.
Speaker 2: But are you talking about legal, regulated immigration.
Speaker 1: Or are you talking about letting fifteen million people come
Speaker 1: in over a couple of years, some of them criminals,
Speaker 1: just letting them go wherever they want, showing up at
Speaker 1: the hospital demanding healthcare or at your school demanding education
Speaker 1: or whatever.
Speaker 2: You can't possibly claim that that's a net plus.
Speaker 1: So is that an intentional The smearing of the statistics
Speaker 1: and the makings the word stupid is the problem.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's there's my suspicion.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think, And how scary would it be to
Speaker 4: spend a minute in her head She's like, oh, oh,
Speaker 4: there's a difference, right, I don't I don't know what
Speaker 4: to think about.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't actually know, because I don't know politician's
Speaker 1: been doing this and the media's been doing this game for.
Speaker 2: So long, But no who has come out.
Speaker 1: Maybe actually Stephen Miller, my or Steve Bannon might actually
Speaker 1: be these people. But other than that, I don't know
Speaker 1: anybody who's been anti immigration as totally like we should
Speaker 1: never like we're Japan or China or something, we should
Speaker 1: just have no immigration.
Speaker 2: I don't know that person.
Speaker 1: I know lots of people who think we should have
Speaker 1: some sort of policy and not have illegals coming across
Speaker 1: willy nilly. Virtually everybody I've ever met, virtually everybody feels
Speaker 1: that way.
Speaker 2: But well, this is not another.
Speaker 4: Example of an issue in which a tiny but crazy
Speaker 4: vocal minority with access to the megaphones of society have
Speaker 4: convinced us all that the numbers are very very different
Speaker 4: than they are in terms of what people think.
Speaker 2: We've seen those polls over and over again.
Speaker 4: But it's funny they're so loud and aggressive, they kind
Speaker 4: of they reinject the idea that, oh, well, it's most
Speaker 4: people are kind of much more gentle on immigration blah
Speaker 4: blah blah, because they're just they're constantly because they have
Speaker 4: the megaphone megaphone of media.
Speaker 1: As I've said for a very long time, I think
Speaker 1: it's the biggest indication that democracy doesn't work. I don't
Speaker 1: actually believe, well, democracy is better than the other systems.
Speaker 1: It's the worst except for all the others have been tried.
Speaker 1: That is one hundred percent true statement, but it is
Speaker 1: an indication that it doesn't work all very well in
Speaker 1: some instances what the people have wanted for decades.
Speaker 2: We're fine with.
Speaker 1: Immigration, but not illegal immigration, like ninety percent of people
Speaker 1: on the border regulated and not people sneaking in blah
Speaker 1: blah blah, but people who are hard working and wanted
Speaker 1: black in state and nah, and vast majorities of people
Speaker 1: agree with that, and you just can't get a government
Speaker 1: that does that. Son of a It's very frustrating work

Speaker 4: Let me return to the idiotic Billie Eilish very briefly.
Speaker 2: And this is almost it's not.
Speaker 4: A point that really needs to be made, because anybody
Speaker 4: with any sense already knows it. But rich Lowry addressed it,
Speaker 4: and he was talking about if we're guilty of stealing lands,
Speaker 4: so as nearly everyone else in history, including Native Americans,
Speaker 4: who constantly fought and dispossessed one another. The Iroquois, for example,
Speaker 4: gained military superiority by acquiring firearms from the Dutch and
Speaker 4: English in the seventeenth century and proceeded to wipe out
Speaker 4: or displace the Huron, the Neutral Nation, and the Eerie.
Speaker 4: They established what is called the Gunpowder Empire with its
Speaker 4: locusts in eastern and central New York. For their part,
Speaker 4: the Commanche originated in the northern Rocky Mountains, then moved
Speaker 4: into the Great Plains. Their prowess is mounted warriors, allowed
Speaker 4: them to displace the Apache subordinate the Wichita, and established
Speaker 4: dominance in the vast region known as the commentaria, and
Speaker 4: on and on, over and over again. In the West,
Speaker 4: two great coalitions Cheyennes Arapahos and Lakota's north of the
Speaker 4: Arkansas River and actually that's the Arkansas River, isn't it?
Speaker 4: And Comanches and Kiwa's south of it clashed bitterly until
Speaker 4: making peace in nine eighteen forty. Then both preyed on
Speaker 4: sedentary people on the fringes further south. Comanche's Kia was
Speaker 4: an Apaches losched Wolffish raids in New Mexico, seeking to
Speaker 4: snatch horses, mules, and slaves, on and on over and hey,
Speaker 4: every yes, oh hey, that's a great, great bridge to this.
Speaker 4: Afghanistan has just reinstated slavery. Have you heard anybody in
Speaker 4: the United States demonstrating or chanting or anything about that?
Speaker 2: Anything like that?
Speaker 1: Now, So I got mail bag on the way. There's
Speaker 1: a op ed in the New York Times Day warning
Speaker 1: Democrats against choosing Gavin Newsom as their nominee that I
Speaker 1: thought was kind of interesting.
Speaker 2: If you're into that story, and a whole bunch of
Speaker 2: other stuff. So stay here.
Speaker 1: Seahawks four and a half point favorites for Sunday, by
Speaker 1: the way, and that's the current line. I hope it's
Speaker 1: a good game. That's all I really care about. I
Speaker 1: don't have a lot of rooting interest. Yeah, here, here, here, here.
Speaker 2: Oh. Plus, I hope bad Bunny just slays because he's
Speaker 2: so great. I'll probably watch why Not singers entertaining. Try
Speaker 2: not to take it too seriously in either direction.
Speaker 1: I just hope there are hundreds of people dancing around
Speaker 1: the stage.
Speaker 2: So that's my favorite part. I like your chances, go
Speaker 2: for the over. Here is your freedom hating.
Speaker 4: Quote of the day, Continuing our series of quotes from communists,
Speaker 4: Karl Marx, the theory of communism may be summed up
Speaker 4: in a single sentence, the abolition of private property.
Speaker 2: That's pretty good.
Speaker 1: I have such great comment the best commentary I've ever
Speaker 1: heard about. How the whole Marxism communism thing of what
Speaker 1: drives it better than.
Speaker 2: Anything I've ever heard of my life? Really, to get
Speaker 2: to a little bit later from a famous philosopher, Yeah,
Speaker 2: you've been on this case for a long time too.
Speaker 2: I am intrigued.
Speaker 1: Mail Bag drivers, would you mailbag at Armstrong and Getty
Speaker 1: dot com again?
Speaker 2: That email address?
Speaker 4: Mail bag at Armstrong and Getty dot com. Ah, Jackie

Speaker 4: And if you didn't hear that, good lord, is it fawning?
Speaker 4: I mean like it's a parody. It's so funny.
Speaker 2: But he says, the.
Speaker 4: Only appropriate response is via the annoying genre of the
Speaker 4: high coup.
Speaker 2: That's right.
Speaker 3: Much.
Speaker 2: If you could cue the high.
Speaker 4: Coup music, the ancient, the beautiful Japanese out from the
Speaker 4: five syllables, the seven, then the five.
Speaker 2: Delimitation is what sets you from Here's the haikud.
Speaker 1: Gavin is a tool, cares only about power. What a
Speaker 1: power tool?

Speaker 4: Let's see, Hey, Jacques and Joe, this is Kevin the
Speaker 4: Texas Marine. Thank you Vogue for opening my eyes about
Speaker 4: how the ohso wonderful Gavin Noosecum, I mean Newsom. I
Speaker 4: had no idea that he was such a wonderful person,
Speaker 4: or even that a person like that was even possible.
Speaker 4: I too, now want crippling regulations, overbearing taxes and bums
Speaker 4: and junkies on every block. And here I thought the

Speaker 4: in Nashville talking about the Savannah Guthries mom terrible story. Guys,
Speaker 4: remember nuts Nuts, they're greed heads, but they latch onto
Speaker 4: the latest hot story and publish something that drives traffic
Speaker 4: to their website, and they re monetization of all those cliques. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I remember seeing a list of those. They're often out
Speaker 4: of India and you know countries in that part of
Speaker 4: the world that are just utterly fictional news stories, but
Speaker 4: they get enough clicks there's profit in it. On the
Speaker 4: topic of the ridiculous epstein claims, Anonymous writes, Guys, you
Speaker 4: asked if stories like the h George hw Bush baby,
Speaker 4: you know, orgy thing, those that sort of allegations of
Speaker 4: stories existed before the Internet.
Speaker 2: Are you forgetting the satanic panic of the eighties.
Speaker 4: People actually went to prison for false allegations back then.
Speaker 4: Look up the nineteen eighty five Baker's field case. You'll
Speaker 4: be horrified. I don't know anything about this. I remember
Speaker 4: the Martin pre school that was like a satanic child
Speaker 4: molestation craze.
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, so it did.
Speaker 4: Exist on a lighter note, because everything's a lighter note.
Speaker 4: So it's a lot like the Salem witch trial situation. Then,

Speaker 4: Drake May the quarterback for the Patriots. His wife is
Speaker 4: an Avid Baker, and Drake was ranking her traits and

Speaker 4: the stolen land thing. This is Chris. Here's a map.
Speaker 4: Of how the land in America was required, much of
Speaker 4: it acquired, much of it was purchased. For instance, if
Speaker 4: Alaska's stolen land, then let the Left take it up
Speaker 4: with the Russians because we've purchased it from Russia. And
Speaker 4: don't get me started on the Louisiana purchase, Well I won't.
Speaker 4: They don't to not get you started on the Louisiana purchase.
