Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Kaddy arm Strong,
Speaker 1: Andy and he Armstrong, and.
Speaker 2: Even from Studio C see kicking off another exciting week
Speaker 2: of developments around the world. I'm sure we're deeper than
Speaker 2: the Bowels and the Armstrong and Getty Communications compound, and
Speaker 2: today we are.
Speaker 1: Under the tutelage of our general manager.
Speaker 2: Gotta go with the IDF, the Israeli Defense Forces, though
Speaker 2: I was tempted to go with the Iranian people who
Speaker 2: have a collective decision to make.
Speaker 1: Oh really, that could change history? Explain that where's everything
Speaker 1: changes history? Literally? I mean this is what history is,
Speaker 1: what's document of what? What's the decision the Iranian people
Speaker 1: need to make?
Speaker 2: The awful oppressive Middle Ages theocracy, which has screwed the
Speaker 2: Iranian people so badly through the decades, is the shakiest
Speaker 2: it's ever been, and a generalized big uprising in favor
Speaker 2: of just something different, anything, It could work. If you
Speaker 2: are any room with a handful of people making this decision,
Speaker 2: would you be a yes vote or a no vote
Speaker 2: on taking out the Ayahtola, which most people believe Israel
Speaker 2: does have the ability to do if they wanted to. Okay,
Speaker 2: so we're talking about Israel and it's it's help for
Speaker 2: Uncle Sam in this scenario, as opposed to the Iranian people. Yeah, which, okay, Ah.
Speaker 1: I'd rather it be an internal thing.
Speaker 2: Reporting says Trump told that, Yahoo, no on that, don't
Speaker 2: do that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, boy, I believe any of that stuff. Don't take
Speaker 1: out Weird Beard.
Speaker 2: It is, but that kind of fits with Trump's general
Speaker 2: world vision.
Speaker 1: Yeah, call it.
Speaker 2: About two thirds solid. You know, that's that last third.
Speaker 2: You know, the recent events with the negotiations, And I
Speaker 2: told NT Yeah, it's.
Speaker 1: Hard to believe much of what you hear.
Speaker 2: You're you're, you're, you're just trying to give awaid answering
Speaker 2: the question are you a yes voter, a no vote?
Speaker 1: Are you the Biden no vote? Or are you a
Speaker 1: yes vote?
Speaker 2: Oh boy, that wasn't the least bit prejudiced. Ah wow, Okay,
Speaker 2: all right, it's not. There's probably a massad agent right
Speaker 2: there dressed as a cleaning woman who could slip a
Speaker 2: bomb into Weird Beard's beard. All right, right, Her mop
Speaker 2: is actually a twenty second century laser weapon just developed
Speaker 2: a combination with Darfa. I would say, give me a
Speaker 2: week and a half to exploit my contacts in the
Speaker 2: Revolutionary Guard, because there's plenty of generals in there who
Speaker 2: are a good old fashioned military greed heads. They're not
Speaker 2: you know, Middle Ages theocracy nutjobs. They just want a
Speaker 2: little law in order and they want to make money.
Speaker 2: So you know, we're gonna see if we can work
Speaker 2: with them Egypt style, like when there are those mass Yeah,
Speaker 2: so you'd be pushing Okay, I get that. Yeah, it'd
Speaker 2: be like from within military temporary military dictator.
Speaker 1: Hadn't thought of that.
Speaker 2: I suppose that's possible, But at least for now, it
Speaker 2: seems like Israel doesn't think they should take out the.
Speaker 1: Top guy, and Trump's telling them don't. We'll see.
Speaker 2: They did set off five bombs the Masade did near
Speaker 2: government buildings in Tehran yesterday, I guess is a combination
Speaker 2: doing damage. In a note by the way, we can
Speaker 2: do anything anywhere, anytimes, just letting you know they completely
Speaker 2: command the air. Yeah, the Israelis in a way. Interestingly,
Speaker 2: I think it was the journal I can't remember. I
Speaker 2: was reading about it in a way that Russia still
Speaker 2: hasn't achieved after three and a half years in Ukraine.
Speaker 1: Israel.
Speaker 2: Absolutely they could do like sky diving classes over Iran.
Speaker 2: Now well that's all right, yes, an exaggeration. They have
Speaker 2: a few air defenses left, but I mean they could
Speaker 2: be like doing pilots to training, you know, young lads
Speaker 2: in sestnas and young girls earning to fly their planes
Speaker 2: and sky.
Speaker 1: Diving and run a commercial airline if you want.
Speaker 2: Well, NATO and the United States are not sending air
Speaker 2: defense systems to Tehran.
Speaker 1: Like they are to Kiev, so that makes a pretty
Speaker 1: big reference, correct.
Speaker 2: And there's a fair amount of a bombing going on
Speaker 2: in Tel Aviv, the biggest city in Israel. People getting killed,
Speaker 2: buildings getting blasted really hard in a way that we
Speaker 2: have not seen before. About fifteen percent of the drones
Speaker 2: coming in are getting through, even though Israel has the
Speaker 2: best air defense stuff in the world, and Jordan and
Speaker 2: Saudi Arabia are helping along with that, trying to shoot
Speaker 2: down the Iranian drones, which is also a fairly new development.
Speaker 2: But stuff is getting through, and people are dying, and
Speaker 2: people are being blown up, and they're constantly scurrying to
Speaker 2: shelters and I don't know how long they're going to
Speaker 2: put up with that, right, Well, the ratio of damage
Speaker 2: is way, way leaning in Israel's favor.
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's taking a toll. Yeah, who wants to
Speaker 1: live that way?
Speaker 2: You know how you avoid it forever war by winning
Speaker 2: one real quickly, by bringing such devastating, overwhelming force.
Speaker 1: That it's over. So we got more on that story.
Speaker 2: Obviously, you got the two Minnesota lawmakers who were assassinated
Speaker 2: over the weekend by a nut job, and two more
Speaker 2: nearly saved by the skill of our medical teams.
Speaker 1: And the combinations are on political violence.
Speaker 2: And I actually myself don't have the slightest idea where
Speaker 2: I am on this because in so many of the
Speaker 2: individual cases, you know, Nettan Yaho told Brett Bear yesterday,
Speaker 2: he included the attempts on Trump's life as obvious Iranian operations.
Speaker 2: And I just have never seen anything that would lead
Speaker 2: me to believe that that crazy dude on the roof,
Speaker 2: for instance, was working.
Speaker 1: With Iran in any way. H me neither. No, I
Speaker 1: believe there are plots.
Speaker 2: Sure there, sure we know that we know about or
Speaker 2: the guy who was hiding the bushes at the golf course.
Speaker 2: There's been no indication that so My point is, with
Speaker 2: these Minnesota lawmakers being assassinated, while there is political violence
Speaker 2: in the air, and it is occurring at a greater
Speaker 2: rate than it has since like the mid seventies until
Speaker 2: fairly recently, each individual case seems.
Speaker 1: Like a complete kook. Yeah, I don't what you do
Speaker 1: with that.
Speaker 2: It's a well, it's an Overton window question. It's we
Speaker 2: now live in a society. We're a certain number of people,
Speaker 2: and it's not a large number, but it's too effing large.
Speaker 2: Now consider that among quote, among my options.
Speaker 1: You know, I could just kill the people I.
Speaker 2: Really hate politically right in a way that you know,
Speaker 2: most of us, virtually all of us find so sickening
Speaker 2: and repugnance. It's you know, it's difficult to even say, seriously, well,
Speaker 2: there is a reason to feel like if you're if
Speaker 2: you're online much, that half the country is gonna cheer
Speaker 2: you if you kill certain people of the other side.
Speaker 2: That's not exactly true, but you could. You could get
Speaker 2: that impression if you spend a lot of time on Twitter,
Speaker 2: for instance. Oh yeah, yeah, every time I go away
Speaker 2: from that aspect of my life for an extended period,
Speaker 2: And by extended period, I mean like two days. Right,
Speaker 2: I'm reminded that you know, nobody brings this stuff up
Speaker 2: in real No, no, carpenters and contractors, not shop clerks,
Speaker 2: not retired executives, not to the guy at the golf
Speaker 2: could nobody brings this stuff up, right, That's why Friday
Speaker 2: I said, I might be too online because I'm reading
Speaker 2: lots of stuff on Twitter and formulating of responses and
Speaker 2: that sort of stuff.
Speaker 1: But I'm not seeing this.
Speaker 2: Stuff anywhere else but Twitter, anywhere else ever, like you
Speaker 2: just said, never in real life. So it's just like
Speaker 2: its own little universe and unfortunately controls way too much
Speaker 2: of our politics anyway.
Speaker 1: And it strikes me, I'm sorry, before you move on.
Speaker 2: It strikes me that we may have just been doing
Speaker 2: what we were decrying because a lot of people don't
Speaker 2: know what the hell we're talking about. What online stuff, Joe,
Speaker 2: you use the term stuff like four times.
Speaker 1: What stuff? Just hatred?
Speaker 2: I meant, yeah, over the top, ridiculous hatred, often pushing
Speaker 2: stories that don't exist or completely exaggerated, right, right, just
Speaker 2: these arguments so for doctrine and the right way to
Speaker 2: be maga and the right way to be a patriot
Speaker 2: and the rest of it's very online. So I drove
Speaker 2: through La on Saturday. What I saw will shock you.
Speaker 2: And we got other stuff to get to.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: They cleaned the refrigerator over the weekend, which needed to
Speaker 2: happen because it smelled like a dead body in there.
Speaker 2: But somebody threw away my cream, which I consider my
Speaker 2: nine to eleven I have. It's all gone, like perfectly
Speaker 2: brand new container. So no, I'm drinking black coffee. These
Speaker 2: are dark days. They are they are. Let's start the
Speaker 2: show officially. I'm Jack Armstrong. He's Joe Getty on this.
Speaker 2: It is Monday, June the sixteenth, the or twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2: We are armstrong in getting we approve of this program
Speaker 2: drinking black coffee.
Speaker 1: My God.
Speaker 2: All right, here we go, starting officially according to FCC rules,
Speaker 2: the regulations, the show starts, the week starts at mark.
Speaker 3: Every single country, including this one, will condemn Israel, and
Speaker 3: they will go back to their homes and they will
Speaker 3: say in private, thank God for Israel. The Saudis, the
Speaker 3: bar Rainis, the Egyptians, the Libyans, the Lebanese, everybody will
Speaker 3: say thank God they did it because nobody else would a.
Speaker 1: Lot of truth there.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of truth that the great Douglas Murray
Speaker 2: was how many years ago?
Speaker 1: Thirteen?
Speaker 2: Long time ago? But same then and same now. The world,
Speaker 2: almost all of the Middle East would be happy to
Speaker 2: see Iran not get a nuclear.
Speaker 1: Weapon, right.
Speaker 2: God, I saw Ran Paul yesterday. I agree with Rand
Speaker 2: Paul and almost everything Senator Ran Paul. He is so
Speaker 2: wrong on this form policy stuff. Oh my god. Yeah,
Speaker 2: thank god he's not president. I mean, seriously, I am
Speaker 2: reminded of the reaction to the wiping out of Hamas
Speaker 2: which is ongoing.
Speaker 1: The all the hue and cry of.
Speaker 2: Oh Israel, we need a ceasefire, sees where we need
Speaker 2: talks say that Behind the scenes, I just know most
Speaker 2: of these leaders are saying to Nat Yahoo, clean house, Buddy,
Speaker 2: clean house.
Speaker 1: But the posturing, the public posturing, do what you gotta do,
Speaker 1: that's what they're saying. Win. You know what we've totally lost.
Speaker 2: Was that repugnant to anybody, the idea that we in
Speaker 2: the West of the United States is a Western civilization
Speaker 2: should just win. It's an attitude that's practically been lost
Speaker 2: among the intelligentsia. You know, we are in a fight.
Speaker 2: It has never ended. We were born to it. Our
Speaker 2: nation was birth to it a fight against totalitarianism and conquest.
Speaker 1: Win. Wow.
Speaker 2: I just saw my first aerial shot of the No
Speaker 2: King's protests that happened here in the capital of California
Speaker 2: and Sacramento. Big giant crowd. Trump had a pretty funny
Speaker 2: tweet about it yesterday. We'll have to get to later.
Speaker 2: We got a lot of stuff on the way. Kati's headlines.
Speaker 2: Hope you can stay here, nel e O yo, man.
Speaker 2: There's some interesting things that happened around the whole immigration
Speaker 2: deportation thing, with Trump making announcements and hints and that
Speaker 2: sort of stuff in the last three days since we
Speaker 2: were last on the air. Wedn't need to discuss, I
Speaker 2: would say, so, yeah, yeah, And where does it end?
Speaker 1: That's my question.
Speaker 2: If you're going to throw everything up in the air,
Speaker 2: what's the point? Where are we headed victory?
Speaker 1: That's where it ends? Oh good?
Speaker 2: Oh sorry, I worried about it. All right, Let's figure
Speaker 2: out who's reporting what today. It's the lead story with
Speaker 2: Katie Green.
Speaker 4: Katie all right, starting with news Week. Minnesota assassin suspect
Speaker 4: had flyers reading quote no Kings in vehicle right.
Speaker 2: His wife also had a bunch of guns and stuff
Speaker 2: in her vehicle.
Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on there. I wish there
Speaker 1: were some sort of medical test.
Speaker 2: It'd be like positive for COVID, that you'd be diagnosed
Speaker 2: as an angry loser who blames others for your own failings.
Speaker 2: And once you were confronted with that information, I think
Speaker 2: it really help people. They would think, wow, wow, I'm
Speaker 2: one of those. I need to take a long art
Speaker 2: look at myself. It would cure us of a lot
Speaker 2: of our ills.
Speaker 1: As you had it.
Speaker 4: From ABC, Israel claims full aerial control over Tehran.
Speaker 2: Yeah, laying the groundwork what six months ago or so
Speaker 2: when they retaliated for October seventh, taking out a ton
Speaker 2: of Iran's anti aircraft equipment, and now exploiting that.
Speaker 4: From Fox News, Trump celebrates the United States long history
Speaker 4: of giving a foreign enemies quote hell at massive military parade.
Speaker 2: I didn't get to see any of the parade because
Speaker 2: I was driving to and fro Los Angeles for my
Speaker 2: son's boy scout trip, which I will talk about later,
Speaker 2: but as interesting taking in the reviews, people who lean
Speaker 2: right thought it was absolutely a spectacular parade and were riveted.
Speaker 2: People who lead and left say it was just a debacle,
Speaker 2: a disaster.
Speaker 1: How could anything go so wrong? Wow? Wow, what a
Speaker 1: divided people we are? From Politico.
Speaker 4: Teachers' Union president Randy Winngarten resigns from DNC.
Speaker 1: Really really more on that later.
Speaker 2: Have the Democrats realized that teachers' unions are no longer
Speaker 2: an object of sympathy in this country and people have
Speaker 2: woken up to what they really are?
Speaker 1: I doubt that, but they've figured out that.
Speaker 2: Her name is poison Usually you don't even know who
Speaker 2: that person is, and her name is poisoned for half
Speaker 2: the country or more true enough.
Speaker 4: From the Wall Street Journal, Young graduates are facing an
Speaker 4: employment crisis. They're citing slow hiring is making it hard
Speaker 4: for those just starting out.
Speaker 1: Joe, what do you point out every year since you graduated?
Speaker 2: I don't know you've said this that when you graduated,
Speaker 2: we graduated at the same time, but I don't remember it.
Speaker 1: I had a job already.
Speaker 2: But they were talking about what a rough labor market
Speaker 2: was for graduates coming out into the workplace, and they
Speaker 2: say that every single year graduation time. If you start
Speaker 2: paying attention this year, you will find that it is
Speaker 2: true every year.
Speaker 1: They haven't said that even won. The economy is good,
Speaker 1: so it's.
Speaker 2: Hard to get your professional career started day. It's not
Speaker 2: great now. I will tell you this, with all due cynicism,
Speaker 2: I've got a kid out of work. In between AI
Speaker 2: and uncertainty around supply chains and manufacturing that sort of
Speaker 2: thing with the tariff steel, it is a s time
Speaker 2: to be looking for a job. Oh, I don't doubt it,
Speaker 2: but they do say it every single year for new graduates. Well,
Speaker 2: it's such an easy story to get the headline, you know,
Speaker 2: get people's attention on. Can you get somebody angry about
Speaker 2: it on Twitter and quote them? That would really jazz
Speaker 2: it up.
Speaker 4: From the New York Post, Shoe a Otani is ready
Speaker 4: to be a two day player again.
Speaker 1: He will make his pitching debut today. Did you realize
Speaker 1: he has not pitched for the Dodgers.
Speaker 2: His last pitching outing was for the angel So he's
Speaker 2: gonna make his Dodgers' pitching debut.
Speaker 1: One of the best pitchers hitters of all time.
Speaker 4: Awesome from Law and Crime, Mule riding Man unleashes pet
Speaker 4: raccoon into crowded bar as revenge for being kicked out.
Speaker 1: Oh, there was a lot there. You had me at
Speaker 1: mule riding.
Speaker 2: Man, I feel like we're gonna have to break that
Speaker 2: down later. Bar bar, We're like throwing in the fact
Speaker 2: that it happened in a bar.
Speaker 1: Really a bandard. I'm gonna show them, let's see what
Speaker 1: what what? What weapons do? I where's my message? Should
Speaker 1: my vengeance take? Well, I guess I'll do what I'll
Speaker 1: always do. I'll grab my raccoon, I'll get on my
Speaker 1: mule and I'll head down there.
Speaker 4: And finally the Babylon Bee quote, Trump is a king,
Speaker 4: say people freely protesting in a free country.
Speaker 1: Wow. Sometimes the simplest is the best. That is pretty goodful,
Speaker 1: pretty good.
Speaker 2: I witnessed a lot of the protesting in Los Angeles
Speaker 2: over the weekend, which I will talk later. I thought
Speaker 2: the stuff from the parate I've seen the pictures of
Speaker 2: the people in the old timey uniform is going way
Speaker 2: way way back World War one, Civil War stuff.
Speaker 1: I thought that was really cool.
Speaker 2: Yeah, once you actually came across a legitimate description of
Speaker 2: what it was meant to be.
Speaker 1: And it sounds charming. Yeah, we got so much news
Speaker 1: to cover.
Speaker 2: I hope you can stick around if you missed a
Speaker 2: second maget the podcast Armstrong and Getty on the band
Speaker 2: Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 5: There were confrontations between police and protesters in Portland, Oregon,
Speaker 5: in Washington State, and in Atlanta. In Los Angeles, police
Speaker 5: breaking up crowds what appears.
Speaker 1: To be the police called a Leslietho round.
Speaker 5: But the large majority of the more than two thousand
Speaker 5: nationwide so called No Kings events taking place without incident.
Speaker 2: Well that's true, that's great, that's true. But that was
Speaker 2: a fair amount of Mayhem that you just played for us,
Speaker 2: you know what.
Speaker 1: I'm kind of YadA YadA, YadA. The Mayhem right, exactly.
Speaker 2: Mayhem and these eleven cities, But mostly it was peaceful.
Speaker 2: It reminds me very much of the discussion, particularly about
Speaker 2: a decade ago, about moderate Muslims. Well, no, sixty seven
Speaker 2: percent of Muslims don't want to kill all the Jews
Speaker 2: and infidels and take over the world. Well, those folks
Speaker 2: are irrelevant to the discussion. There are plenty who do
Speaker 2: want to do all those horrible, unspeakable things and or
Speaker 2: set fire to cities and bash cops heads in plenty.
Speaker 1: That's who we're talking about. Right.
Speaker 2: If I'm a cop and that one guy has throwing
Speaker 2: chunks of cement at my head.
Speaker 1: I'm really interested.
Speaker 2: In that, dude, even if there are a thousand people
Speaker 2: over there peaceful, right, right, Two major things happened, and
Speaker 2: then we will discuss. Because you're busy with your life
Speaker 2: and your weekend, you shouldn't even know this because you're
Speaker 2: a normal person and you had summertime stuff to do,
Speaker 2: which I actually did do. But Trump Friday ordered Immigration
Speaker 2: Customs Enforcement better known as ICE officers. On Friday, he
Speaker 2: ordered them to stop conducting raids and arrests on farms, restaurants,
Speaker 2: and hotels agricultural meatpacking plants. Several news outlets reported the
Speaker 2: decision reportedly came directly from the president. Our great farmers
Speaker 2: and people in the hotel and leisure business have been
Speaker 2: stating that our very aggressive policy and immigration is taking
Speaker 2: very good, longtime workers away from him, those whose job
Speaker 2: as being almost impossible to replace. This is one of
Speaker 2: those deals where Trump comments on the news of the
Speaker 2: day like he's a.
Speaker 1: Bystander, right, which is interesting.
Speaker 2: But so you know, the conversation had turned late in
Speaker 2: the week last week toward you're rounding up all the people,
Speaker 2: You're showing up at farms and rounding up people have
Speaker 2: been there for years.
Speaker 1: Is that what we want to do? Blah blah blah
Speaker 1: blah blah. Okay, fine, so there's that. We'll get back
Speaker 1: to that in a second.
Speaker 2: But then yesterday Trump in like a a tolstoying length
Speaker 2: tweet from this from his outlet thingy, and I'll just
Speaker 2: read one sentence of it, because it's very, very very long.
Speaker 2: ICE officers are herewith ordered by notice of this truth.
Speaker 1: So I like that that the policy comes out this way.
Speaker 2: ICE officers are here with ordered by notice of this truth,
Speaker 2: to do all in their power to achieve the very
Speaker 2: important goal of delivering the single largest mass deportation program
Speaker 2: in history.
Speaker 1: And then he goes through all kinds of details and everything.
Speaker 2: What's your gut reaction to those two announcements? I do
Speaker 2: kind of like the quasi constitutional verbiage of I hereby
Speaker 2: declare according to my article seven powers under truth social anyway, Sorry,
Speaker 2: So what's your gut reaction of the ab there?
Speaker 1: I don't know, Well, I.
Speaker 2: Have one go ahead. I have an overarching theme about
Speaker 2: all of this, but I don't I don't know. I
Speaker 2: don't know what was going on with why he reacted
Speaker 2: the way he did Friday, And was he backing off
Speaker 2: that yesterday or is he is?
Speaker 1: I don't know what he's doing.
Speaker 2: A the announcement about hey, we're backing off farms and
Speaker 2: hotels and restaurants and meat packing plants and the rest
Speaker 2: of it. In short, workplace rayse was a realistic reaction
Speaker 2: to huge sectors of the economy saying whoa WHOA. B
Speaker 2: was talking to the base, the hardcore deport everybody base,
Speaker 2: and Stephen Miller that part of the administration saying hey,
Speaker 2: I'm still on your team. I still got your back.
Speaker 2: So was one was behind the scenes and one was
Speaker 2: more pr So I heard something damn interesting over the
Speaker 2: weekend that I think is true, so I will repeat
Speaker 2: it here. Sarah I isger of the Dispatch who she
Speaker 2: has been involved in several presidential campaigns and understands issue
Speaker 2: polling about as well as anybody. And I love the
Speaker 2: way she's always described that issue polling is practically worthless
Speaker 2: for all kinds of different reasons. But they were discussing
Speaker 2: the polls showing, you know, maybe some softening in people's enthusiasm.
Speaker 1: For booting everybody out or that sort of thing, and.
Speaker 2: She made the point, and I think this is absolutely
Speaker 2: true when it comes down to it. At the end
Speaker 2: of the day, you get around to a predictionally specifically
Speaker 2: the next presidential election, nobody's gonna care about the methods
Speaker 2: that were used and the crying mom whose.
Speaker 1: Kid just came here to go to school or whatever
Speaker 1: the hell.
Speaker 2: They're just gonna see somebody did something about illegal immigration
Speaker 2: and we have way fewer legal immigrants the end, I'm
Speaker 2: happy with that. The whole process part will be lost.
Speaker 2: Nobody will remember that. This gets to what we were
Speaker 2: talking about last week of If you go through historically,
Speaker 2: there's almost no examples of big, giant democratic Democrat demonstrations
Speaker 2: and revolts and things like this, whether it's rioting or
Speaker 2: peaceful process whatever.
Speaker 1: Working to their benefit politically.
Speaker 2: There's like no example of that, including when Nixon's guard
Speaker 2: shot a bunch of students on a college campus in
Speaker 2: nineteen seventy and the left went wild and songs were
Speaker 2: written and movies were made, and Nixon won forty nine
Speaker 2: states two years later. Because people don't like mayhem, they
Speaker 2: want it put down. The individual methods would would pull
Speaker 2: horribly if you had pulled that. Do you think national
Speaker 2: Guard troops should shoot constans, I mean like ninety eight
Speaker 2: to zero. You know, of course everybody hates that, but
Speaker 2: I'm gonna vote for the guy who did it because
Speaker 2: i want order.
Speaker 1: Right, right, boy.
Speaker 2: I have a very funny joke to make, but it
Speaker 2: hints at political violence, and now is not time, so
Speaker 2: I'll pass on that. But the other principle I think
Speaker 2: at work here is that the further you go directionally
Speaker 2: in the right direction, like from wide open borders with
Speaker 2: TDA and MS thirteen gang members flooding the country, Chinese nationals,
Speaker 2: militant Muslims, God knows how long it'll take to reckon
Speaker 2: with how many really dangerous people Joe Biden let into
Speaker 2: this country. Anyway, the further we get from that, the
Speaker 2: more I think the American people are willing to discuss
Speaker 2: the subtleties Like when the Biden when the Biden border
Speaker 2: was wide open, everybody's like ship them out, every single
Speaker 2: legal every single order them ship them out, because it
Speaker 2: was such a crisis, it was such a disaster where
Speaker 2: we were, We've moved the ball way down the field
Speaker 2: now much further directionally toward control of the borders and
Speaker 2: adherence to the law and so people are willing to say, Okay,
Speaker 2: let's talk about the law abiding worker has been here
Speaker 2: for ten years.
Speaker 1: So on that when you get down to that.
Speaker 2: So why Friday Trump announced, Hey, I think guys should
Speaker 2: be kicking out.
Speaker 1: Farm workers and people in restaurants. It's just really interesting
Speaker 1: for Trump to say that.
Speaker 2: But I do think you're right, that is an economic decision.
Speaker 2: I don't think it was a political decision because I
Speaker 2: think there's still enough people on the side of illegals
Speaker 2: have got to.
Speaker 1: Go, and you know why, because that's the law.
Speaker 2: I took in so much media coverage in Los Angeles
Speaker 2: while I was driving through LA on Saturday with all
Speaker 2: the protests going on and cops everywhere and lots of
Speaker 2: roads closed off, and it was fine, nothing really happened.
Speaker 2: There was such a giant police presence and National Guard
Speaker 2: presence that things never really got out of hand. But
Speaker 2: as listening to various other talk stations, not KABC where
Speaker 2: we work, nobody presented it from the side of you know,
Speaker 2: the current law is you can't be here illegally. Doesn't
Speaker 2: matter if you're a law biting nice guy who everybody likes.
Speaker 1: Your kids at the high school, the law doesn't say that.
Speaker 2: So if you want the law to say, if you're
Speaker 2: a nice guy and everybody likes your kids at the
Speaker 2: high school, you don't have to go then write that law.
Speaker 2: But for now, you either have.
Speaker 1: To be for enforcing federal law or not.
Speaker 2: And if we're gonna decide that now we don't enforce
Speaker 2: federal law, Okay, what other federal law should we not enforce?
Speaker 2: If we're gonna go to start with taxes, please throwing
Speaker 2: it out there. I can come up with several specific
Speaker 2: tax codes I'd like to do away with. If we're
Speaker 2: just gonna decide, you know what, we don't really need
Speaker 2: to enforce federal law. How is that not the nut
Speaker 2: of the conversation?
Speaker 1: You know, that's funny.
Speaker 2: I almost wish i'd spouted what I was thinking, and
Speaker 2: then you could have answered with that, because I was
Speaker 2: about to express the other side of it, which is
Speaker 2: we've sent the message in a hundred different ways. Come
Speaker 2: to the country, get your paperwork, get a job, open
Speaker 2: a bank account.
Speaker 1: You can even buy a house, and nobody's gonna do
Speaker 1: anything about it. But that sort of.
Speaker 2: Wishy washiness about enforcing the law, some would just call
Speaker 2: it realism. But that yields a situation where there's no
Speaker 2: pressure to do what you were yelling about, to actually
Speaker 2: reform the law and then enforce it, which is I mean,
Speaker 2: it seems stupid to have to say this out loud.
Speaker 2: Having laws and then enforcing them is the way a
Speaker 2: system like ours should work. All the news coverage you
Speaker 2: take in from the mainstream media or left leaning media
Speaker 2: seems to work from an assumption that we're just not
Speaker 2: going to follow federal law on this.
Speaker 1: We're gonna have nobody nobody wants to.
Speaker 2: We're gonna have all kinds of workarounds and carveouts and
Speaker 2: stuff that's all against federal law. Well, you can't operate
Speaker 2: like that, obviously.
Speaker 1: I'm surprised that there aren't.
Speaker 2: There isn't more of an effort to, you know, vote
Speaker 2: for Jim Jones for Congress because he believes this should
Speaker 2: be the law around immigration, righthet in Congress that wants
Speaker 2: to pass laws and say, you know what, if you've
Speaker 2: been here for ten years and you've come into no
Speaker 2: crimes and everybody lects your kids at the high school,
Speaker 2: we're not kicking you out, and you get these workpapers,
Speaker 2: you become a citizen or whatever. We're gonna do, pay
Speaker 2: a fine if you like whatever. Sure, yeah, yeah, I
Speaker 2: would agree. And that was the point I was trying
Speaker 2: to make. I feel like we've moved directionally far enough
Speaker 2: in the correct, the right direction that now people are
Speaker 2: willing to have that conversation in a productive way. But
Speaker 2: I would suggest to my conservative brethren there will never
Speaker 2: be probably a better time than now to get a
Speaker 2: great deal. We've got both houses barely and the White House.
Speaker 2: Now is the time to pass serious immigration law. I'm
Speaker 2: not going to use I'm not going to use the
Speaker 2: cre comprehensive imm CIR. I'm not going to use the
Speaker 2: CIR phrase because it is so stinky in many people's noses.
Speaker 2: But we need serious reform of our immigration laws and
Speaker 2: then enforce the damn things. I mean, it's again, it's
Speaker 2: so obvious. I feel like I'm moron even saying it.
Speaker 2: But here we are incredible that it never came up.
Speaker 2: I don't know how many hours of coverage I took
Speaker 2: in of talk radio on various stations in Los Angeles
Speaker 2: and it never came up.
Speaker 1: You know, they are here illegally, I mean, by federal law.
Speaker 2: They should go. I don't care how nice a guy
Speaker 2: you are, or how long you've been here. By federal law,
Speaker 2: you should have to go.
Speaker 1: That is as a starting place.
Speaker 2: Yes course, yes, I don't know. Nobody mentions that. All right,
Speaker 2: here's your final bitterly cynical note. At least for me,
Speaker 2: If you were to assemble the top one hundred Democrat
Speaker 2: fundraisers and top one hundred Republican fundraisers in an arena
Speaker 2: and said all right, show a hands, true or falls,
Speaker 2: it would be a disaster, serious immigration reform passed for
Speaker 2: you raising money. Every hand in the place would shut up,
Speaker 2: shoot up. That's the worst thing that could happen. Maybe
Speaker 2: maybe one way to force Congress to actually move would
Speaker 2: be to just start following the law. Maybe that'd be
Speaker 2: one way to get Congress to move and just and
Speaker 2: Trump should just say, over and over again, I'm following
Speaker 2: the law. You're always complaining about me being a dictator
Speaker 2: and not following the law. This is the law. What
Speaker 2: a beautiful idea you ought to be in charge. You're
Speaker 2: the new chief of staff. Congratulations, you'll be missed around here. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but he didn't. He backed down and said all right, no,
Speaker 2: no meat packing in agriculture and hospitality in hotels.
Speaker 1: He did.
Speaker 2: But then he has that truth yesterday and where he
Speaker 2: said here with under Article six of the Second whatever Constitution,
Speaker 2: all truth socials are hereby anointed with the power and said,
Speaker 2: everybody's got to go. Largest deportation in US history. Steve
Speaker 2: Miller Filch's phone. Did Baron get hold of his truth account?
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's a little schizophrenic wondering what you're
Speaker 1: thinking about.
Speaker 2: That text line is four one five two nine five
Speaker 2: KFTC mailbag. Next, on one of the TV stations in
Speaker 2: San Diego where we are also on, says sixty thousand
Speaker 2: people showed up for the No King's protest in San Diego.
Speaker 2: Even if they're exaggerating by twice, thirty thousand would be
Speaker 2: a crazy big crowd. And now everything has changed. Yeah,
Speaker 2: to me, it was like going to a baseball game.
Speaker 2: Everybody enjoyed themselves, had their their chant. Now they're home
Speaker 2: and well it was fine. You know what you're saying.
Speaker 2: In effect, peaceful protests don't accomplish anything. Well, it's not
Speaker 2: clear to me at all what they were trying to accomplish.
Speaker 1: They don't want kings. Do you not understand? Did you
Speaker 1: not read the signs. Well, we don't have an F
Speaker 1: and king, so it worked. Okay, I congratulate them. Well done.
Speaker 1: Can we do something about the mosquitoes now? No mosquitos
Speaker 1: mark please? Or athletes foot you do? You pick the cause?
Speaker 1: I mean you're one for one. Who am I to
Speaker 1: tell you what to do?
Speaker 2: Here's your freedom loving quote of today from Ben Franklin.
Speaker 2: Without freedom of thought, there can be no such thing
Speaker 2: as wisdom, and no such thing as public liberty without
Speaker 2: freedom of speech, except for hate speech and microaggressions.
Speaker 1: Oh I'm sorry that last part wasn't part of what
Speaker 1: he said.
Speaker 2: Saudi Arabia just executed a journalist for tweets they didn't like. So,
Speaker 2: oh boy, you don't know you don't have free speech everywhere?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Indeed, not not even close. I'd like to talk
Speaker 1: about that.
Speaker 2: Yes, sometimes we're friends with awful bastards because they're better
Speaker 2: than the awfuler bastards next door. That's what international relations is.
Speaker 1: Get used to it. Mailbag drops notet.
Speaker 2: Mail bag at Armstrong and Geeddy dot com.
Speaker 1: Pat from New Zealand.
Speaker 2: Rights, Hey, watch the Army parade on YouTube with my
Speaker 2: kids and we really enjoyed it.
Speaker 1: The army parade was awesome.
Speaker 2: The announcer's history lessons were nice, and kids especially like
Speaker 2: to see all the different uniforms, aircrafts, and tanks.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a lot of I've heard too.
Speaker 2: And like I said, I saw, you know, trump hating
Speaker 2: journalists talk about what a boring de Boclet was.
Speaker 1: Okay, fine, thanks Pat for the note.
Speaker 2: Then this h I hope I'm never so political that
Speaker 2: I can't like enjoy something like a parade if it's
Speaker 2: the other side. I mean, that's just I don't know.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, more on that topic next hour. I hope
Speaker 2: if we can squeeze it in.
Speaker 1: JT and livermore rights.
Speaker 2: The overwhelming nerve is that the parade was a fizzle
Speaker 2: before it even started.
Speaker 1: But they just don't get it.
Speaker 2: But nobody seems to consider it was that the parade
Speaker 2: was not mentor targeted for the punditry class on cable TV,
Speaker 2: nor was it aimed at.
Speaker 1: The East Coast elites.
Speaker 2: Was squarely aimed at the patriotic people of this country,
Speaker 2: the same ones who have massively increased the recruiting numbers
Speaker 2: for the armed forces and Segxeth and Trump took over
Speaker 2: look for recruitment to go even higher following the parade,
Speaker 2: and then JT mentions quite aptly, if you want to
Speaker 2: criticize the cost of the parade, consider the cost of TV,
Speaker 2: print and radio advertising by the army try to catch
Speaker 2: to try to catch the attention of possible recruits. I
Speaker 2: don't know how much the army in particular spends on
Speaker 2: its own, but the military as a whole spent six
Speaker 2: billion dollars with a b over three years to recruit
Speaker 2: and retain six billion.
Speaker 1: That's an interesting number to know. Yeah, indeed, well done. JD.
Speaker 2: JT Don in a beautiful san Jose writes, No King
Speaker 2: Day more like Winer's Day.
Speaker 1: My take on the No King.
Speaker 2: Day protests, which led about every news all outlet all weekend,
Speaker 2: I think these are more than I think these are
Speaker 2: more like just a bunch of whiners. They're angry that
Speaker 2: their vocal minorities not able to wield power they once did,
Speaker 2: that someone is standing up to them, and that someone
Speaker 2: is running the country more like the majority of people
Speaker 2: would like to see it run. There is a fair
Speaker 2: amount of truth in that peaceful protests do not get
Speaker 2: near the attention or fee or land the same way
Speaker 2: as violent protests.
Speaker 1: Yes, that's an interesting point, you know.
Speaker 2: The only thing I'd add to Don's note is to
Speaker 2: the extent that Trump has been fast and loose with
Speaker 2: constitutional powers and gone too far too fast, hasn't done
Speaker 2: the paperwork, and the courts have corrected them. I say, good,
Speaker 2: that's our Constitution at work. Nice job, Constitution.
Speaker 1: See it. Then, no Mosquitoes Rally next Saturday.
