Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.
Speaker 2: Armstrong and Getty and he Armstrong and Getty. Oh, I'll
Speaker 2: tell you what.
Speaker 1: A good buddy of mine just texted and said, I
Speaker 1: want to get it right. It's really getting crazy out there.
Speaker 1: I believe that it may boil over soon. I wonder
Speaker 1: Tesla's being set on fire and blown up, and.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was just looking at a video on that.
Speaker 3: Attorney General Pambondi came out yesterday said We're going to
Speaker 3: prosecute these people to full extend of the law. That
Speaker 3: comment always is word to me. I want everybody prosecuted
Speaker 3: to the full extent of law and every crime your break.
Speaker 3: I mean, that's the whole point of.
Speaker 4: A law to me. But hard to disagree with that.
Speaker 3: But the number of Tesla's cyber trucks that have been
Speaker 3: set on fire at various dealerships, it's something really.
Speaker 4: Get We'll get to that this hour, but first and
Speaker 4: they can wear it fast. Amen.
Speaker 1: Truer words never spoken, so particularly if you turn to
Speaker 1: the pages of the left leaning media, you see the
Speaker 1: frantic and somewhat worn out cry that we are headed
Speaker 1: toward in the middle of whatever a constitutional crisis this
Speaker 1: time because the Trump administration is at loggerheads with various
Speaker 1: judges around the country as they try to institute their policies,
Speaker 1: and the president call for one judge.
Speaker 4: To be impeached.
Speaker 1: We will talk about that a little more specifically in
Speaker 1: a minute. And then Chief Justice John Roberts criticized Trump's
Speaker 1: call to impeach judges and in a very gentlemanly statement.
Speaker 1: And the left, I mean number one, a lot of
Speaker 1: lefty media is absolutely desperate, and so everything they do
Speaker 1: is clickbait, and they make everything Trump versus the evil
Speaker 1: Trump versus the the you know, kind good people of
Speaker 1: whoever's against Trump, and then they jack up the significance
Speaker 1: of everything, so their hair is constantly on fire.
Speaker 4: You're familiar with that.
Speaker 1: But if you look at the actual substance of what's
Speaker 1: going on, it's to me it's more interesting. But Chief
Speaker 1: Justice John Roberts, in a gentlemanly statement said, essentially, the
Speaker 1: court should be left to resolve legal disputes through the
Speaker 1: traditional system of litigation, and I quote, for more than
Speaker 1: two centuries, it has been established that impeachment is not
Speaker 1: an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision. The
Speaker 1: normal appellate review process exists for that purpose. Meaning Judge
Speaker 1: number one makes a bad decision.
Speaker 4: Everybody be cool. Happens a lot.
Speaker 1: We've got a huge hole process worked out and it
Speaker 1: works really, really well.
Speaker 3: And then John Roberts shelld Obama Care's a tax and
Speaker 3: ran back in his office.
Speaker 1: And then Trump vowed to go down to the Supreme
Speaker 1: Court and drag Roberts out of there with his bare
Speaker 1: hands and give them the No, he didn't. Here's what
Speaker 1: Trump said on Laura Ingram's show last night, clib seventy.
Speaker 4: He didn't mention my name in the statement. I just
Speaker 4: saw it quickly. He didn't mention my name.
Speaker 5: But many people have called for his impeachment, the impeachment
Speaker 5: of this judge. I don't know who the judge is,
Speaker 5: but he's radical left. He was Obama appointed. And he
Speaker 5: actually said we shouldn't be able to take the criminals, killers,
Speaker 5: murderer is horrible, the worst people, gang members, gang leaders,
Speaker 5: that we shouldn't be allowed to take them out of
Speaker 5: our country. Well, that's a presidential job. That's not for
Speaker 5: a local judge to be making that determination, and I
Speaker 5: thought it was terrible.
Speaker 1: Just as an aside, I think it's funny that Trump says,
Speaker 1: a lot of people are saying that you're the.
Speaker 4: President of the United States of America.
Speaker 3: It doesn't matter if a lot of people are saying it,
Speaker 3: or one person is saying or nobody.
Speaker 1: That you don't need anyway. Ah, but it was interesting,
Speaker 1: he said, he he didn't name me.
Speaker 4: It is fine. We're good, We're good.
Speaker 1: And he called the judge the individual judge, troublemaker and agitator.
Speaker 1: And then Laura doubled down and asked him a really
Speaker 1: good question, is way to.
Speaker 4: A court order?
Speaker 5: Is that we all know that I never did defy
Speaker 5: a court order, and you wouldn't in the future. No,
Speaker 5: you can't do that. However, we have bad judges. We
Speaker 5: have very bad judges, and these are judges that shouldn't
Speaker 5: be allowed. I think at a certain point you have
Speaker 5: to start looking at what do you do when you
Speaker 5: have a rogue judge?
Speaker 1: So you could easily assign the headline Trump affirms judicial
Speaker 1: review to that interview.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's sort of like we were talking about Kanye
Speaker 3: last hour. Kanye is shooting off his mouth a lot,
Speaker 3: but then when he gets in a bad legal situation,
Speaker 3: he seems to know where the line is, or somebody
Speaker 3: tells him. Trump realizes you can't be saying you're going
Speaker 3: to defy a judge's order.
Speaker 1: He realizes that's a line not to cross, right, And
Speaker 1: it is interesting. His line is very different than other presidents,
Speaker 1: and it makes me really uncomfortable sometimes. But it seems
Speaker 1: like the whole whipping up the masses, getting people excited.
Speaker 1: It ends at the point where somebody asks him explicitly,
Speaker 1: will you do this thing that the left's hair is
Speaker 1: on fire that you're going to do, which would be
Speaker 1: an actual constitutional crisis, And he says, no, No, you
Speaker 1: can't do that, which I thought was good. I was
Speaker 1: heartened by that. A couple of notes. If you're not
Speaker 1: following this stuff closely and good for you, go live
Speaker 1: your life, love your children or your spouse, or go
Speaker 1: bird watching or something.
Speaker 4: We'll do it for you. But look a bird. There's
Speaker 4: more to it than that. But in essence, that's it.
Speaker 4: Jack headline number one boiled it down to it.
Speaker 1: Oh no, I thought you were gonna say you boil
Speaker 1: the bird, because that's definitely not part of it. Eh.
Speaker 4: Birds are beautiful, though, I kind of like bird watching.
Speaker 4: Judge said.
Speaker 1: Doge's dismantling of USA likely unconstitutional. Ruling deals a blow
Speaker 1: to Elon Musk in one of his earlier efforts to
Speaker 1: cut back the size of the federal government.
Speaker 4: This is a federal District.
Speaker 1: Jubdge in Maryland, likely unconstitutional on multiple fronts. Okay, you know,
Speaker 1: we can wrangle about the constitutionality of that, but this
Speaker 1: is not a four hundred level class.
Speaker 4: This is a you know, podcast radio show.
Speaker 1: Then this headline, federal judge blocks Trump's ban on transgender
Speaker 1: people serving in the military. This is a completely different,
Speaker 1: lowest level of the federal judiciary.
Speaker 4: This gal in Washington, d C.
Speaker 1: Where the courts are left to Trotzky, ruled that the
Speaker 1: order against transgenders in the military, likely violating the constitutional
Speaker 1: guarantee of equal protection. Issue a preliminary junction that halted
Speaker 1: it while litigation continues. It's a blanket to standards. The
Speaker 1: transgender folks are a great soldiers, right, wrote the judge
Speaker 1: in a seventy nine page ruling.
Speaker 4: A lot of them are. Well.
Speaker 1: We'll see and we'll see whether the commander in chief
Speaker 1: can set those standards and it will work its way
Speaker 1: through the courts. But I thought this was interesting. John
Speaker 1: fund It was a very very smart guy. He writes
Speaker 1: for the National Review. Mostly wrote a piece that said
Speaker 1: that's entitled the Epidemic of judge made law. By issuing
Speaker 1: nationwide injunctions against executive action, federal district courts are exercising
Speaker 1: too much power, and some of the statistics on this
Speaker 1: pretty interesting. Last month, district court judges issued fifteen temporary
Speaker 1: restraining orders halting actions of the Trump administration. That's more
Speaker 1: restraining orders than we're issued during the first three years
Speaker 1: of the Biden administration.
Speaker 3: That's pretty interesting. Now you could say, well, you could
Speaker 3: say two things. Obviously, you could say, look, these judges
Speaker 3: are out to get Trump. Or on the other side,
Speaker 3: you could say, well, Trump does so many things that
Speaker 3: are completely unconstitutional.
Speaker 1: That's why this is happening, right, I'm sure that argument
Speaker 1: is coming from the left. So far, district courts have
Speaker 1: blocked an extraordinary range of executive actions, ranging from the
Speaker 1: attempted repeal of birthright citizenship and abid toanned DEI programs
Speaker 1: to an effort to take down government web pages that
Speaker 1: discuss sex change operations.
Speaker 4: District courts blocked all of those.
Speaker 1: Things because obviously the president runs the executive branch can't
Speaker 1: take down web pages that talk about sex changes. Former
Speaker 1: House Speaker Newt Gingrich called it quote an emerging dictatorship
Speaker 1: of district court judges, and they point out fund to
Speaker 1: points out the latest or to Cormes from District Judge
Speaker 1: James Boseburg of Washington, d C. And Obama guy, he
Speaker 1: blocked President Trump's deporting of the Venezuelan gang members.
Speaker 4: The alleged gang members, I think I'm.
Speaker 1: Supposed to say to expedite the removal of members of
Speaker 1: Trendy Hiragua under the Alien Enemies Act of seventeen ninety eight.
Speaker 1: These people are neither US citizens nor lawful permanent residents,
Speaker 1: and we sent them to Al Salvador. You're probably familiar
Speaker 1: with that story or seeing the video of them being
Speaker 1: forced off planes and into buses with their heads pressed
Speaker 1: down low, which looks very uncomfortable. You cannot resist when
Speaker 1: somebody is doing that to you. Anyway, this is the
Speaker 1: judge you told the Department of Justice, Hey, anybody who's
Speaker 1: taking offer in the area, they need to turn around
Speaker 1: and come back to the US. But they landed in
Speaker 1: Nol Salvador, and there's some debate over when he said
Speaker 1: that or made it official.
Speaker 4: Blah blah blah. We're not getting it into that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you do get into a sticky constitutional situation if
Speaker 3: a president starts defying federal judges, because then what do
Speaker 3: you do, right.
Speaker 4: I mean, I send the army in? What do you do?
Speaker 4: Here's where it gets more interesting.
Speaker 1: And if you just want to yell back in forest
Speaker 1: left right, left right, that's fine. I do it myself sometimes,
Speaker 1: but at least around here, we find it much more
Speaker 1: interesting to understand what's actually going on. So Trump's acting
Speaker 1: solicitor general, that's his number one lawyer, argues that federal
Speaker 1: district judges have no authority at all to issue sweeping
Speaker 1: orders that block policies nationwide. Instead, the injunction should only
Speaker 1: apply to that judge's district, more to the specific individuals
Speaker 1: or groups who have sued. So you can't have Johnny
Speaker 1: Trendiiagua say hey, hey, oh my buddy's got shipped out.
Speaker 1: That's no fair. There is no due process. And this
Speaker 1: judge says, you know what, You're right. You can't ship
Speaker 1: any gang members out until I give you the go ahead,
Speaker 1: and the Trump administration is making the interesting legal argument
Speaker 1: that you can't do that, she said in her brief
Speaker 1: to the Supreme Court, and I quote, years of experience
Speaker 1: have shown that the executive branch cannot properly perform its
Speaker 1: functions if any judge anywhere can enjoin every presidential action everywhere.
Speaker 1: National review not always Trump friendly. I actually think they're
Speaker 1: quite fair, and they point out she make it a
Speaker 1: sympathetic hearing from the Supremes. They realize that something has
Speaker 1: clearly changed at the district court level.
Speaker 4: A couple more stats.
Speaker 1: During Trump's first term, sixty four nationwide injunctions were issued,
Speaker 1: a staggering increase from the Obama and Bush ears. Justice
Speaker 1: Samuel Alito Hero recently called it judicial hubris, a practice
Speaker 1: that damaged the rule of law. He asked, did, I quote,
Speaker 1: does a single district court judge who likely lacks jurisdiction,
Speaker 1: have the unchecked power to compel the government of the
Speaker 1: United States. The answer to that question should be an
Speaker 1: emphatic no.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 3: That's interesting because I watch enough MSNBC, for instance, to
Speaker 3: know they're not quoting Supreme Court justices who agree with
Speaker 3: Trump on this.
Speaker 4: No.
Speaker 1: No, and they grossly oversimplify it and just say Trump's
Speaker 1: a racist monster. But again, I find the actual reality
Speaker 1: of it much more interesting. I could go on because
Speaker 1: I could geek out on this stuff all day long.
Speaker 1: Don't want to overdo it, but this is a super
Speaker 1: interesting and important question.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and uh, it will end up at the Supreme
Speaker 3: Court and get figured out.
Speaker 4: I assume good. So the process works.
Speaker 3: The process works, and I'll tell you what doesn't work.
Speaker 3: Having Opening Day in Japan and all like that. Woo,
Speaker 3: Dodgers have won two games already and the season hasn't
Speaker 3: started for anybody else.
Speaker 4: Huh. I like that either in Japan in the middle
Speaker 4: of the night. Foreign games shouldn't count. I'd be my
Speaker 4: new role two.
Speaker 1: Weeks before opening day. This is stupid. Come on, MLB.
Speaker 1: I know you want to grow the game, but come on,
Speaker 1: come on.
Speaker 3: Elon did a big interview last night and talked a
Speaker 3: lot about his cars being attacked and death threats and
Speaker 3: all that sort of Stuff's kind of interesting, among other
Speaker 3: things on the way.
Speaker 6: Yeah, things can get pretty crazy at spring breaks. So
Speaker 6: apparently some cities have put up warning signs around some
Speaker 6: popular places, like you've seen these, like don't drink and drive.
Speaker 4: Yeah, of course it's very important.
Speaker 6: But there are others, some other warning signs that really
Speaker 6: caught my eye.
Speaker 4: For instance, here's one from Myrtle Beach.
Speaker 6: It says you're one viral TikTok away from unemployment.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, O kidding.
Speaker 3: Hey, I just saw Ted Lasso's returning for season four.
Speaker 3: You're a Ted Lasso person, are you not?
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, A big fan. Loved it?
Speaker 3: Still good clear up through the most recent season. Oh yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: I loved every episode. Yeah, it's the rare life affirming,
Speaker 3: you know, drama awesome. So, speaking of spring Break, we
Speaker 3: haven't really been covering this story of the disappeared attractive
Speaker 3: woman who disappeared and then they're holding on to a
Speaker 3: guy and all this sort of stuff, and you know,
Speaker 3: none of the details really.
Speaker 4: Mattern and republican.
Speaker 3: But what bad luck it is if you're a dude
Speaker 3: with a chick who disappears and you didn't do anything,
Speaker 3: You were just oh yeah, out there drinking.
Speaker 4: I mean, I've been in this situation, but myself.
Speaker 3: It's getting later and you're drinking more and you're thinking,
Speaker 3: I'm wondering this is going to turn into something, And
Speaker 3: then at some point you realize it's not or they
Speaker 3: say it's not, and you go back to your room.
Speaker 3: But then if you get a knock on your door
Speaker 3: the next day, we haven't seen this person. You're the
Speaker 3: last person did. That's a bad situation to be in.
Speaker 3: And that seems like might be what happened here, Probably
Speaker 3: happened here, especially if you were hammered drunk. All right,
Speaker 3: but you you know then what happened.
Speaker 4: I went back to my room. What was she doing?
Speaker 4: I don't know. You don't know, No, I really don't. Yeah,
Speaker 4: she said, I want to swim. That's the last thing
Speaker 4: I remember, right, I don't want to swim. It's cold.
Speaker 4: When I went back to my room.
Speaker 1: The one thing this guy's got going for him is
Speaker 1: he said, yeah, I passed out on the sand and
Speaker 1: woke up in the morning and went back to my room.
Speaker 1: And there's security footage of him walking back bedraggled to
Speaker 1: his room precisely when he said he.
Speaker 3: Did, which is the sort of thing that happens a
Speaker 3: lot in spring break locations. Yeah, I have gone out
Speaker 3: in the ocean swimming, hammered drunk in the middle of
Speaker 3: the night and h and a giant wave couldna knock
Speaker 3: me down and swept me out disease.
Speaker 1: Certainly, I wonder if when you arrive at the Pearly
Speaker 1: Gates other people probably not in me. Uh as Saint
Speaker 1: Peter says to you. You know, just we keep track
Speaker 1: of this kind of our hobby.
Speaker 4: Up here. Here's the times you came within an inch
Speaker 4: of dying. Well, let's see.
Speaker 1: Let's begin with the time when you were a kid
Speaker 1: and you ran out in the street. Then there was
Speaker 1: the time you were wasting a spring break and decided
Speaker 1: to swim. See there your mouth right there, it's an
Speaker 1: inch above the water. That next wave is really big.
Speaker 1: But you turned around, See how close you were? Did
Speaker 1: you just declare you think you're going to hell?
Speaker 4: Just I'm a betting man. I'm just going with the odds.
Speaker 3: Hmmm, it was a joke. Well, it makes your biggest
Speaker 3: transgression stupidity.
Speaker 1: I left out the most interesting statistic in my constitutional
Speaker 1: geeking out thing last segment.
Speaker 4: Here it is. I've lost it again. I'm truly stupid.
Speaker 4: I thought you were going to say being a disc jockey.
Speaker 3: God is going to see you were really frequently a
Speaker 3: disc jockey, and we do not let in dis jockeys.
Speaker 4: Right there appears. Oh uh.
Speaker 1: Clarence Thomas pointed out that there does not appear to
Speaker 1: be a single case of a nationwide injunction against federal
Speaker 1: defendants for the first century and a half of the
Speaker 1: United States of the kind we were talking about. It's
Speaker 1: just grew up with the political polarization in our country
Speaker 1: over the last while.
Speaker 4: It's a modern phenomena that is really interesting.
Speaker 3: And another thing you don't hear on CNN or MSNBC
Speaker 3: or Fox from that that's.
Speaker 4: Really and I apologize back to you. Back to the
Speaker 4: Pearly Gates. Heard a great joke.
Speaker 3: Ricky Gervais told it's a very complex it's not really funny.
Speaker 3: It's a philosophical sort of joke about meaning God at
Speaker 3: the Pearly Gates. Get to that in the next half hour,
Speaker 3: because it's it's pretty good one.
Speaker 4: It's not about the guy with the wife named Fanny.
Speaker 4: I don't know that one. I've always enjoyed that one.
Speaker 4: It's classic.
Speaker 3: Okay, Yeah, there's a lot of good you're at the
Speaker 3: Pearly Gates talking to Saint Peter jokes. There's a lot
Speaker 3: of good ones. It is a classic of the genre.
Speaker 3: Elon Musk Big interview last night. He didn't like all
Speaker 3: his Tesla's being set on fire, among other things.
Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 7: The FBI is investigating what it calls a targeted attack
Speaker 7: after at least five Tesla vehicles were set on fire
Speaker 7: in Las Vegas. Police say a suspect wearing all black
Speaker 7: through molotov cocktails, shot three more Teslas with a firearm
Speaker 7: and spray painted the word resist on the building. Just
Speaker 7: this month, shots fired at this Tesla dealership in Oregon,
Speaker 7: Tesla's spray painted in Massachusetts, and cyber trucks on fire
Speaker 7: in Seattle. Writing about all this vandalism on social media,
Speaker 7: Musk says Tesla makes great products that people love, so
Speaker 7: all the hate and violence directed toward him must be
Speaker 7: because people are too woke.
Speaker 3: I saw a meme on Twitter yesterday. It had how
Speaker 3: did we become friends? And it was Diesel truck driving
Speaker 3: guy and Tesla guy shaking hands because we're against the
Speaker 3: left or something like that. I have both a Diesel
Speaker 3: truck and a Tesla and like them both. I don't
Speaker 3: know if you're allowed to do that or not, but.
Speaker 4: In my worldyard do whatever the hell you want.
Speaker 3: Speaking to Elon Before we get to some of his interview.
Speaker 3: First of all, that's nuts that that is political terrorism
Speaker 3: going on all across the country like that against a
Speaker 3: one of the most valuable companies in the world, and
Speaker 3: it's not getting near the attention it should.
Speaker 1: Who was their best buddy just a few minutes ago?
Speaker 1: Does that remind you of any crazy people you know
Speaker 1: in your life?
Speaker 3: The value this is according to the Financial Times, the
Speaker 3: valuation of Elon's Twitter.
Speaker 4: Is at forty four billion dollars.
Speaker 3: It says there in the Financial Time social media site
Speaker 3: was valued at less than ten billion in September, a
Speaker 3: sharp turnaround for Twitter. I have no idea what drove
Speaker 3: that for anybody who we refused to call it X
Speaker 3: by the way, if you're wondering, So let's just run
Speaker 3: through some of these I thought they were all interesting.
Speaker 3: First of all, on some of the rocket stuff, as
Speaker 3: Elon's space X brought back, helped bring back those astronauts yesterday.
Speaker 3: This is Elon doing an interview with Sean Hannity last night.
Speaker 8: Well, I'm usually a little nervous about these returns because
Speaker 8: there are some risks that something to go wrong, But
Speaker 8: thanks to the excellent work of the SpaceX team working
Speaker 8: with NASA. The astronauts are now safely home, and so
Speaker 8: congratulations to the SpaceX NASA teams on excellent work, and
Speaker 8: a huge note of appreciation to President Trump for prioritizing
Speaker 8: and explanting their return. In the beginning, we didn't actually
Speaker 8: know anything about rockets, so our first three missions failed,
Speaker 8: actually of our Falcon one rocket, and we almost ran
Speaker 8: out of money and just barely made it with.
Speaker 4: The fourth launch.
Speaker 8: If the fourth launch of Falcon one had not succeeded,
Speaker 8: we would have failed as a company.
Speaker 4: So we just fairly made it.
Speaker 8: So I have to say that I was not a
Speaker 8: very good chief engineer in the beginning, but I did
Speaker 8: loan over time.
Speaker 1: He's just more of that in the world, right, all
Speaker 1: sorts of aspects of that, including not as assessment. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I made some mistakes. I wasn't very no, no, oh no, yea.
Speaker 1: What is the point of SpaceX? He says here, we are.
Speaker 8: Going to be able to take Ashnalitz to Mars. In fact,
Speaker 8: we want to take anyone who goes to Mars and
Speaker 8: ultimately build a self sustaining civilization on Mars. That is
Speaker 8: the long term goal of the company. I think we
Speaker 8: could do it in twenty to thirty years.
Speaker 3: Twenty to thirty years will be got a civilization on Mars.
Speaker 3: I hope I live long enough to see that, because
Speaker 3: I think it would be flipping fascinating. Here's a little
Speaker 3: trivia about launching rockets that I didn't know.
Speaker 8: The falcon Iine rocket takes off with one point seven
Speaker 8: million pounds of thrust, So you can imagine something that
Speaker 8: has enough for us to lift an office building off
Speaker 8: its foundations, and it gets to orbit, it gets to
Speaker 8: roughly seventeen thousand miles an hour in nine minutes. It's
Speaker 8: just when it comes back. You've got that heat shield
Speaker 8: that's got to dissipate that energy, and hardly anything can
Speaker 8: survive that heat. And if the heat shield fails, you
Speaker 8: just get favorized immediately. So we're really testing the very
Speaker 8: edge of human ability here.
Speaker 4: At the very edge of material science.
Speaker 8: But hopefully this gives Hopefully for people out there, this
Speaker 8: is a moment of optimism about the future, a moment
Speaker 8: of excitement about the future, and it portends great things
Speaker 8: for America and humanity in space.
Speaker 1: All I know is he's a monster for cutting the
Speaker 1: funding to transgender operas in Dublin.
Speaker 3: So he took on Doge fairly recently. But I just
Speaker 3: can't imagine what his day is like when he gets
Speaker 3: up in the morning. What's the first thing he checks
Speaker 3: on Tesla stock, whether it's rocket landed, what people are
Speaker 3: saying about Ohuj, whether or not the you know, monkeys
Speaker 3: escaped with the neuralink.
Speaker 4: In their head. Any of his fourteen children, how they're doing.
Speaker 4: I wonder what are the like the first things he
Speaker 4: looks at. I love that question.
Speaker 1: In the examples you gave, I don't have the slightest
Speaker 1: idea Wow.
Speaker 3: Starting to get into the controversial stuff, Elon saying he
Speaker 3: wanted to bring those astronauts home sooner.
Speaker 8: We definitely offered to return the astronauts earlier. There's no
Speaker 8: question about that. The astronauts were only supposed to be
Speaker 8: there for eight days, and they've been there for almost
Speaker 8: ten months, so obviously that doesn't make any sense. SpaceX
Speaker 8: could have brought the astionnalts back after a few months
Speaker 8: at most, and we made that offer to the Biden administration.
Speaker 8: It was rejected for political reasons. And that's just a fact.
Speaker 3: The Biden White House people say that's not true. So
Speaker 3: maybe that will get figured out by good reporting.
Speaker 1: If you believe anything out of the former Biden White
Speaker 1: House at this point, I mean within reasons, just please.
Speaker 1: I think that the residents sharp is hell and ready
Speaker 1: for another term.
Speaker 4: I mean after that, come on.
Speaker 3: I think that I know that Jake Tapper book comes
Speaker 3: out at midnight tonight. I'm hoping it's midnight Eastern, which
Speaker 3: means it's nine o'clock my time, West Coast time, and
Speaker 3: then I'll be able to immediately jump on Kindle and
Speaker 3: start reading it and have some stuff from the book
Speaker 3: tomorrow on Jake Tapper uncovering the hidden truth that Joe
Speaker 3: Biden's brain didn't work. But I still think there could
Speaker 3: be some really interesting stuff in that book. The inevitable, inappropriate,
Speaker 3: I rolling aside, Yes, Jake.
Speaker 4: The hard to take.
Speaker 3: We all knew this a long time ago, but the
Speaker 3: specifics will be pretty good.
Speaker 4: And hope to have some of that for you tomorrow.
Speaker 3: Wanted to get this on Elon, h ask you about
Speaker 3: the crazies attacking Tesla and everybody who wants who's hating
Speaker 3: non Elon.
Speaker 8: So it's really come as quite a shock to me
Speaker 8: that there's this level of really hatred and violence from
Speaker 8: the left. I thought the left of the Democrats were
Speaker 8: supposed to be the party of empathy, the party of caring,
Speaker 8: and yet they're burning down cars, they're fire a bumby dealerships,
Speaker 8: they're firing bullets into dealerships, they're just, you know, just
Speaker 8: smashing up Tesla's. Tesla is a peaceful company. We've never
Speaker 8: done anything howeful. I've never done anything howful. I've only
Speaker 8: done productive things. So I think we just have a
Speaker 8: deranged there's some kind of mental illness thing going on here.
Speaker 8: Because this doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would agree.
Speaker 1: So headline out of suburban I combined several words at
Speaker 1: once there. I'm so busy, I don't have time to
Speaker 1: just utter complete senses. Story from suburban Chicago, land where
Speaker 1: I grew up. Headline Buffalo Grove woman charged in vandalism.
Speaker 4: I once I wrote a song as.
Speaker 1: A teenager to the effect there aren't any buffalo in
Speaker 1: Buffalo Grove.
Speaker 4: It was somewhat amusing. That's funny. I hadn't thought of
Speaker 4: that in thirty years.
Speaker 1: Buffalo Grove woman charged in vandalism of Tesla dealership. And
Speaker 1: it's setting let's see what exactly did this human do?
Speaker 1: Vandalized serve as a graffiti, et cetera, criminal, damaged property,
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. The interesting part of this is that
Speaker 1: this woman is a hulking six foot two two and
Speaker 1: fifty pounds, And indeed Ellen is evan Washington state where
Speaker 1: you get to choose what sex you are, which is
Speaker 1: a hilarious notion, but it's a it's a radical transgender
Speaker 1: nut job.
Speaker 4: And I know what you're thinking.
Speaker 1: What is like guys who want to pretend to be
Speaker 1: women have to do with Tesla and the rest of it?
Speaker 1: And this is, you know, this is my life's jihad
Speaker 1: is getting people to understand this.
Speaker 4: The goal of neo Marxism is to.
Speaker 1: Radicalize every minority, racial, minority, ethnic, sexual minority, sexual, kink whatever,
Speaker 1: and convince you that you need to tear down the
Speaker 1: system because that's the only thing holding you back from
Speaker 1: happiness and fulfillment. And so, what the hell does a hulking,
Speaker 1: suburban Chicago transgender dude have to do with Tesla and
Speaker 1: Elon Musk defend defunding usaid. This person just has a
Speaker 1: vague notion that they are supposed to tear down the system,
Speaker 1: so what I'm always talking about.
Speaker 4: So, no, it doesn't have anything to do with how
Speaker 4: in the world can any human.
Speaker 1: Being with a straight face hold up a sign that
Speaker 1: says queers for Palestine. Somebody explain that to me. Well,
Speaker 1: I just did explain it to you. That's what's happening.
Speaker 1: And obviously if you're down with the Palestinian cause, your
Speaker 1: fight the man and tearing down Western civilization and the oppressor,
Speaker 1: that's how it all fits together.
Speaker 3: So I want to get on this final Elon clip
Speaker 3: because this is him talking about probably the most important
Speaker 3: thing that he that he has said in recent years.
Speaker 8: I'm very worried about America going bankrupt to the corruption
Speaker 8: of waste and if we're going to do something about it,
Speaker 8: the ship of America is going to sink, and we're
Speaker 8: all on that ship, you know. And this mega message
Speaker 8: to you know, people out there who have you know,
Speaker 8: are wealthy, have a lot of means or patrol companies.
Speaker 8: It's like, just remember, we're all in ship of America here.
Speaker 8: If your company is not going to exist, if you know,
Speaker 8: if the ship of America sinks, and we should do
Speaker 8: everything we possibly can to ensure that America is strong
Speaker 8: for far into the future.
Speaker 1: He's the richest man. Where's my letter, fluid? I'm going
Speaker 1: to set fire to a tesla?
Speaker 3: How dare he he's the richest man in the world,
Speaker 3: which you don't get to be the richest man without
Speaker 3: understanding something about profit and loss. And he says America
Speaker 3: is going to go bankrupt because it is just mathematically
Speaker 3: true if we don't adjust our sales. And not only
Speaker 3: are we all in the United States, all American citizens
Speaker 3: in the boat that is America that is going to sing.
Speaker 3: The whole world depends on the United States from being
Speaker 3: taken over the world being taken over by China or
Speaker 3: who knows what you know, communism or whatever.
Speaker 4: So, yeah, be nice, we could get that all together.
Speaker 3: But it has become about hating Trump, so can't be good.
Speaker 9: Right.
Speaker 1: If Trump and Elon want to save the ship of America,
Speaker 1: then I want to sink it, says a lot of
Speaker 1: the left in America. It's it's bizarre, it's idiotic, it's
Speaker 1: practically psychotic.
Speaker 4: Well, I made my money all by myself. How dare
Speaker 4: your government take my money from me? I don't want
Speaker 4: to pay taxes.
Speaker 3: Well, to put it on the voter neither party can
Speaker 3: say out loud, we got to do something about social security.
Speaker 4: So yeah, I mean, come on.
Speaker 1: At the moment the electorate understands that they can vote
Speaker 1: themselves money from the treasury, the Republicans doomed.
Speaker 3: So I promised this philosophical joke that I thought was
Speaker 3: really interesting for Ricky Gervais.
Speaker 4: I'm all other things we've got on the way. Stay here,
Speaker 4: he here, thumb show.
Speaker 2: Hey, all the phones out trying to get their own
Speaker 2: perspective captured. Right here, some take right center field.
Speaker 4: Here it is off the.
Speaker 1: Till second goes oh Tani to home goes oh Tani.
Speaker 4: Here's a home run. And the question is without the fans,
Speaker 4: would have it been a home run?
Speaker 2: Review the future, hold run, I'm gonna set it absolute take.
Speaker 3: All right, how long did it take that play? I
Speaker 3: hate reviews. Make a call in the field and let's
Speaker 3: move on. But nobody knows me.
Speaker 4: I'm for accuracy.
Speaker 3: Show here Atani in Japan, in front of the home crowd,
Speaker 3: hits a home run.
Speaker 1: There you go, the middle of the night against the Cubs,
Speaker 1: two weeks before opening day.
Speaker 4: What the hell?
Speaker 3: Yeah, that reminds me over Christmas break, I read what
Speaker 3: is considered the best Babe Ruth biography for some reason.
Speaker 3: Really interesting, just an interesting slice of America from nearly
Speaker 3: nineteen hundreds and sports and what a different time and
Speaker 3: all that sort of stuff.
Speaker 1: I'm ben every great biography and autobiography is about the
Speaker 1: times really in a lot of ways.
Speaker 3: So came across this the other day on my YouTube feed,
Speaker 3: Ricky Gervais on Jerry Seinfeld's Comedians and Cars getting coffee.
Speaker 4: This is not funny. It's such ahead of time. Don't
Speaker 4: expect this joke to be funny.
Speaker 3: It's just an interesting philosophical joke that Ricky Gervais presents
Speaker 3: to Jerry Seinfeld.
Speaker 9: I think this is the most interesting joke. So a
Speaker 9: Holocaust survivor and then she dies of old age to heaven.
Speaker 9: He meets God and he tells God a Holocaust joke,
Speaker 9: and God goes, that's not funny, and he says, I
Speaker 9: guess you have to be there, isn't Isn't that amazing?
Speaker 4: What is that?
Speaker 1: I hear?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 9: Not mine?
Speaker 8: Now do you hear that?
Speaker 4: I don't.
Speaker 9: I don't know where it is.
Speaker 4: Have you heard that though?
Speaker 6: Yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 9: Wow? Because it's sold and philosophical, it's so late. He
Speaker 9: wasn't there, and if you believe he was, he didn't
Speaker 9: do anything right. Oh my god, I've got a thing
Speaker 9: of my thing about p RVEL and it's incredible.
Speaker 4: Is that something? Yeah, that's a good one.
Speaker 3: And Jerry Seinfeld, who's been pretty active in the last
Speaker 3: couple of years around Israel, and he was in a
Speaker 3: kibbutz in high school, same sort of place that got
Speaker 3: massacred by Hamas on October seventh, and all that sort
Speaker 3: of stuf.
Speaker 4: I mean, he's pretty into this issue. But that's a
Speaker 4: good one.
Speaker 1: See listeners weighing in on my prospects in the afterlife
Speaker 1: via email. Certainly if you have an opinion mail bag
Speaker 1: at Armstrong and getting dot com.
Speaker 3: Right, man, the Holocaust survivor says to God, I guess
Speaker 3: you had to be there.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, mmm wow. That could be a six month
Speaker 1: long theological getting class. And yeah. So a quick update
Speaker 1: on the discussion earlier in the hour about judges. District
Speaker 1: court judges like the lowest level of federal judges issuing
Speaker 1: nationwide injunctions against executive branch policies, which was unknown for
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty years in America, has just exploded
Speaker 1: in recent years, specifically against Trump, and it's a super
Speaker 1: interesting constitutional question about whether that should be allowed or not. Again, listen,
Speaker 1: grab the podcast later. I'm strong and getting on demand.
Speaker 1: Look at our three and you'll find it and listen
Speaker 1: to it. But a couple of things to know. The
Speaker 1: judge on the transgender case who said no, you can't
Speaker 1: ban transgender people from the military is a female Hispanic lesbian,
Speaker 1: narrowly confirmed by the Senate, and she made the Attorney
Speaker 1: General stand off to the side of the courtroom during
Speaker 1: the hearing so he could feel what it felt like
Speaker 1: to be singled out. Now, boy an effing nutt, says
Speaker 1: one legal expert whose opinion I respect very much. And
Speaker 1: then this the Obama point, lifelong Democrat who did the
Speaker 1: same thing to Trump's travel ban in twenty seventeen, the
Speaker 1: terribly misnamed Muslim travel band ban.
Speaker 4: This guy literally peddled critical race theory as editor of
Speaker 4: the Harvard Law Review, and.
Speaker 1: Now he's trying to save USAID, which gives money to
Speaker 1: terrorists and radical critical race neo Marxists LBGTQ plus minus
Speaker 1: over the power three prop ganda. And that's the one
Speaker 1: frustrating thing for conservatives about the way progressives view the
Speaker 1: judiciary and the Constitution, But even the Supreme Court is
Speaker 1: if you're a good conservative, you want the court to
Speaker 1: rule on whether the right thing happened according to the Constitution,
Speaker 1: whether they like the result or not. You ask, what's
Speaker 1: her name, Brown Jackson, Katanji, Brown Jackson, And if you're honest,
Speaker 1: she'd tell you no. Being a Supreme Court is justice
Speaker 1: about getting the result you want right.
Speaker 3: So are we in a constitutional crisis if we get
Speaker 3: to the point that you appoint judges that are super
Speaker 3: woke if you're a Democrat or super trumpy, if you're
Speaker 3: Trump and they're you know, is that a constitutional crisis?
Speaker 4: And then yes, yeah, well it seems like.
Speaker 1: It could be if these district court judges have carte
Speaker 1: blanche to stop the executive branch. I mean, if like
Speaker 1: a flaming liberal gets in the next time and I'm
Speaker 1: a district or judge and I say, no, no, you
Speaker 1: can't have a trade deal with Britain because I think
Speaker 1: Brits are stupid. And you know, maybe that injunction only
Speaker 1: lasts for a few weeks or whatever, but that's crazy.
Speaker 1: That's no way to run an executive branch. It's a
Speaker 1: super interesting question. I hope the Supreme Court gets to it.
Speaker 4: We do four hours of this every single day.
Speaker 3: If you don't get all of them or every segment,
Speaker 3: get the podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand
