Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty.
Speaker 2: Arm Strong and getting and he Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 3: With cities across the US bracing for sweeping deportation raids
Speaker 3: as promised by President elect Trump during his campaign, his
Speaker 3: administration says it's rethinking where to launch the large scale crackdowns,
Speaker 3: sources initially telling ABC News the raids would begin right
Speaker 3: after the inauguration, likely in Chicago and then other big
Speaker 3: sanctuary cities. The operations involving high priority criminal targets that
Speaker 3: DHS teams have been.
Speaker 2: Investigating for months.
Speaker 3: In Mexico, immigration officials ramping up sheltered capacity, bracing for
Speaker 3: an influx of deepoort teas that could create chaos.
Speaker 2: Oh oh, oh jeez, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Mexico. That'd be horrible if you had chaos
Speaker 1: having a bunch of criminals return to your country. I
Speaker 1: guess that's something I'm supposed to be concerned about. Are
Speaker 1: you freaking kidding me? This is part of the revolution
Speaker 1: of common sense that begins at noon today. Yeah, Trump's
Speaker 1: calling it, and this actually is a revolution of common sense.
Speaker 1: And we'll get to some of the polling the New
Speaker 1: York Times right over the weekend around the immigration stuff.
Speaker 1: Ninety percent of Americans think we should return illegal criminals
Speaker 1: ninety percent.
Speaker 2: It's not controversial.
Speaker 4: Ah oh no, no, it's as close to unanimous as
Speaker 4: you can get on any question. Would you like to
Speaker 4: be jabbed in the eye? Ten percent of Americans and say, yeah,
Speaker 4: that sounds great. This is absolutely functionally unanimous. Ship the
Speaker 4: criminals out right, and they're gonna start that like immediately.
Speaker 4: And as you heard in that ABC ree there, the
Speaker 4: Justice Department has been working on the paperwork in this
Speaker 4: stuff for a long time, so they know they've got
Speaker 4: these people identified, they know what they did. It was
Speaker 4: only the Biden policies that kept it well. And you're
Speaker 4: stupid allowing cities and states to be sanctuaries. Just didn't
Speaker 4: send it a revolution of common sense. And as we know, Jack,
Speaker 4: things are three point four percent or three point four
Speaker 4: times more popular if they spell out a word, and
Speaker 4: Revolution of common sense spells out rocks.
Speaker 2: Oh wow, it does rocks. Rocks, That's what I say.
Speaker 2: Huh cool, all right, made my point.
Speaker 1: I tell you what, between being out six hundred thousand
Speaker 1: criminals and renaming the gulf.
Speaker 2: It's a good day. Yes, it's gonna walk around and.
Speaker 1: Saying, hey, you know what I do for vacation this summer.
Speaker 1: Let's go to the Gulf of Is it America? Let's
Speaker 1: go to the Gulf of America in the summer. See
Speaker 1: the ocean.
Speaker 4: I love you, I love it. Why not, it's our golf. Absolutely,
Speaker 4: President of Mexico with her wives cracking. We'll show her.
Speaker 2: Huh, We'll rename the golf. And it's not even their golf.
Speaker 2: They have a female president, Yes they do. Wow. Yes,
Speaker 2: isn't that funny? Ah?
Speaker 4: So, speaking of funny, how about this bit of inauguration
Speaker 4: trip Michael, do we have like hail to the chief
Speaker 4: or something that we can know? There you go, this
Speaker 4: inauguration trivia. When Andrew Johnson piece of Crap, was inaugurated
Speaker 4: as vice president in eighteen sixty five, he was completely drunk.
Speaker 4: He'd been suffering from typhoid fever at the time and
Speaker 4: purportedly drank whiskey to numb the pain, except he drank.
Speaker 2: A little too much and ended up slurring through his oaths.
Speaker 4: In fact, a contemporary newspaper account of the time jack
Speaker 4: I'm gonna read it to you. The headline is the
Speaker 4: Inaugural humiliation. Andrew Johnson, the Vice President elect, presented himself
Speaker 4: drunk at the great Inauguration ceremony and the presence of
Speaker 4: the assembled Executive and Judicial Departments, blah blah blah, the representatives.
Speaker 2: Of the people. Before that imposing.
Speaker 4: Concourse, he bellowed for half an hour, the idiotic babble
Speaker 4: of a mind besotted by a fortnight's debouch.
Speaker 1: Oh, that should have happened in the area the era
Speaker 1: of video and stuff, because that had been great.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's some good writing.
Speaker 4: He dragged its proudest ceremony into the slough is the
Speaker 4: slew of his degradation, and turned it to shame and mortification. Man,
Speaker 4: you hate to drag his speech into the old sod
Speaker 4: slew a degradation.
Speaker 2: Trump needs to avoid that today, Jackie.
Speaker 1: In my estimation, no kidding, Trump becomes president at noon today.
Speaker 1: I assume you know that, and Joe Biden is running
Speaker 1: out the door pardoning a bunch of people. So we
Speaker 1: need to discuss that a little bit later. Some of
Speaker 1: the executive orders, as we said, are around immigration. We'll
Speaker 1: get to people's opinions on that later this hour. Great
Speaker 1: article from the New York Times basically pointing out, hey,
Speaker 1: a lot of these Trump policies are really really popular.
Speaker 1: That's probably why. One it's funny that they're finally getting
Speaker 1: around to this.
Speaker 4: Wow, what am I supposed to say thank you? Or
Speaker 4: what great insight?
Speaker 2: Or I don't know, ivey, I don't know.
Speaker 4: Well, the bigfoot media are committing a medium speed suicide,
Speaker 4: and I say let them.
Speaker 1: I had a number of teenagers in my home over
Speaker 1: the weekend as my son had a sleepover with a
Speaker 1: couple of his buddies there, and it was a big
Speaker 1: story for them for his friends that TikTok was off
Speaker 1: when they got up on Sunday morning.
Speaker 2: They noticed right away because that's like.
Speaker 1: The first thing they do is go to their phone
Speaker 1: and go to TikTok in the morning, and it wasn't
Speaker 1: available because TikTok shut themselves down over the weekend.
Speaker 2: Now, my son doesn't.
Speaker 1: Have TikTok, and he constantly complains that his friends do.
Speaker 1: But I became aware that his friends are super into it,
Speaker 1: and one of them that's how he gets to sleep
Speaker 1: at night. He goes to sleep scrolling through TikTok until
Speaker 1: he falls and then he wakes up. His phone is
Speaker 1: still on TikTok when he wakes up.
Speaker 4: Wow, And that interesting, which is you know, if you
Speaker 4: take him take that away. Obviously that's a bit of
Speaker 4: a dependency thing. It would take a while to get
Speaker 4: past that.
Speaker 1: And between them and conversations with my nieces who are
Speaker 1: all colleague age or older, none of them with any
Speaker 1: knowledge slash concern about the fact that the communist Chinese
Speaker 1: run the thing. That's just not on their radar.
Speaker 4: At that age, or they reject the notion as you
Speaker 4: told us last week. Yeah, call it a conspiracy theory.
Speaker 4: I think I know what Trump is doing. He has
Speaker 4: said he would issue an executive order to reinstate TikTok
Speaker 4: for the ninety days that the law gives it. I
Speaker 4: think if there is a a negotiation for the sale
Speaker 4: of it in progress, which is not really happening. So
Speaker 4: it's not clear at all whether Trump can, you know,
Speaker 4: bring it back to life for ninety days. Is that constitutional?
Speaker 4: Is it legal? Judging by what I've read, it's not
Speaker 4: And I'm.
Speaker 2: Not constitutional or illegal.
Speaker 4: It's it's not legal because Congress passed the law and
Speaker 4: the law is quite specific on its terms, and presidents
Speaker 4: just can't overturn laws by fiat. Trust me, you don't
Speaker 4: want that, no matter how much you like Trump or not.
Speaker 1: Especially votes that went fifty zero coming out of the
Speaker 1: Big Committee on that in Congress, and then when the
Speaker 1: Supreme Court looked at the you know, delaying this thing,
Speaker 1: they were nine to nothing. You don't want presidents to
Speaker 1: go around that. So I'm trying to figure out what
Speaker 1: Trump is doing. Number One, he made a couple of
Speaker 1: comics before. What's that He's a populist people. There's one
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy million people that love TikTok. He's getting credit.
Speaker 1: It was on the TikTok TikTok's own screenshot that they
Speaker 1: put out said they're working with Donald Trump and then
Speaker 1: basically gave Donald Trump the credit for it. Coming back
Speaker 1: on that's what he's doing here, popular with young people.
Speaker 1: I want to circle back to that, because that's I'm
Speaker 1: aghast at that.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 4: I'm hoping it's that Trump fancies himself the greatest deal
Speaker 4: maker on earth, and he thinks he can work out
Speaker 4: a sale if he brokers it in a way that
Speaker 4: satisfies the law and TikTok TikTok users. If that is
Speaker 4: simply his somewhat egotistical point of view, then I say
Speaker 4: let him try. It's fine. We'll be rid of it
Speaker 4: soon enough. But if it's what you're talking about, if
Speaker 4: Trump is saying as he seemed to be hitting, look,
Speaker 4: it helped get me elected. I'm big on TikTok. Yeah,
Speaker 4: it's a tool of espionage and propaganda by our most
Speaker 4: bitter enemy on earth. But if it helps me, I'm
Speaker 4: gonna leave it that. I can't take that.
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, Well, and.
Speaker 4: Trump himself was the guy who hammered away to get
Speaker 4: TikTok banned his first term.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he got this going for good. Fun fact Charles C. W.
Speaker 1: Cook tweeted out fun fact after viewing classified material about
Speaker 1: the Communist Chinese Party's influence on TikTok. The bill to
Speaker 1: ban TikTok past committee with a fifty to nothing vote
Speaker 1: among the congress people who had looked at the info,
Speaker 1: fifty to zero that included lots of Maga, lots of Centrists,
Speaker 1: and lots of Democrats.
Speaker 2: It was unanimous. That's how it was.
Speaker 1: Sound.
Speaker 4: As we shared with you last week, Peter Schweitzer doing
Speaker 4: some great writing if you look at those quotes, some classified,
Speaker 4: some not, from various Chinese military leaders, propagandist political leaders.
Speaker 4: They love TikTok and they said specifically why because it's
Speaker 4: such an effective propaganda tool to get inside the heads
Speaker 4: of America's youngsters and subtly nudge them toward pro Chinese views.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this tweet continues.
Speaker 1: Banning a CCP espionage and propaganda app was obviously the
Speaker 1: correct decision. Even Laura Ingram, who's pretty big, trumpy person, said,
Speaker 1: is it now our position that the CCP has a
Speaker 1: First Amendment right to control the propaganda vehicle inside the
Speaker 1: US that poses a severe national security thread? Even she
Speaker 1: is not cool with the allowing TikTok to continue in
Speaker 1: its current form at all.
Speaker 2: For a minute, it shouldn't right.
Speaker 1: I had one more thought on that blah blah blah
Speaker 1: TikTok Chinese Party. Everybody voted, I don't I'll come back.
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what.
Speaker 4: TikTok, because it's controlled by the communist Chinese who are
Speaker 4: desperate to have it continue, TikTok is going to be
Speaker 4: just absolutely a wash in flattery of Donald Trump. Now, Oh,
Speaker 4: and effort to manipulate his ego, and I just I'm sorry.
Speaker 4: We'll continue to call it the way we see it
Speaker 4: around here. If when Trump's right, we're going to say
Speaker 4: he's right. When he's wrong, we're going to say he's wrong.
Speaker 4: If that doesn't satisfy, ye, well let us part his friends.
Speaker 1: I think Trump just wants to make sure if TikTok
Speaker 1: goes away, it has the look of it was dragged
Speaker 1: away against his wishes. I think that's just how he
Speaker 1: wants to end up.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm not comfortable with that either, but I get
Speaker 4: that strategy.
Speaker 1: So that's where we are on that. It's kind of
Speaker 1: hard for me to get into the whole. TikTok gets
Speaker 1: a tremendous amount of attention. It was the lead on
Speaker 1: all the Sunday shows yesterday because it, you know, had
Speaker 1: been taken down. So Facination ABC this week, Meet the Press,
Speaker 1: they were all it was their lead thing. And I
Speaker 1: I don't have TikTok. I've never been on it. Seeing
Speaker 1: my son's friends, so I mean, like the first thing
Speaker 1: they noticed when they got up in.
Speaker 2: The morning was their TikTok was gone. Yeah, that's interesting. Well,
Speaker 2: do you know what code switching is? You can google.
Speaker 4: It has to do with patterns of speech. I need
Speaker 4: to change my pattern of speech right now to talk
Speaker 4: in my compassionate, progressive manner, because speaking like a man
Speaker 4: frightens many progressives.
Speaker 2: So excuse me.
Speaker 4: Psychology experts, thin therapists are suggesting a variety of activities
Speaker 4: to help you with your emotional turmoil on this the
Speaker 4: inauguration day of Donald Trump. So we'll have some hints
Speaker 4: and ideas for you coming back. Wow again, this is
Speaker 4: the presentation was tongue in cheek.
Speaker 1: The facts are not. They're dead serious. Like you said earlier,
Speaker 1: those people need to be mocked. There's Boris Johnson rolling in.
Speaker 1: A lot of the Trump crowd coming in. Interesting crew,
Speaker 1: saw Bill Cower, the football coach. Saw a wrestler of
Speaker 1: some sort. Mojo's coming in. Lots of hot women. We've
Speaker 1: got all this stuff Joe mentioned, and the polling around
Speaker 1: Trump's actions that he's going to take today on immigration
Speaker 1: are incredibly popular, even according to the New York Times.
Speaker 2: Stay tuned for that. Josh takes a lot of big hits.
Speaker 2: He rams up his running in the playoffs, got a
Speaker 2: third and two. I still have two timeouts in the pocket.
Speaker 2: Tess's for the touchdown.
Speaker 1: Lots of great football action over the weekend. I took
Speaker 1: in at least parts of all the games. She got
Speaker 1: cheaps against the Bills, which has been predicted since day one,
Speaker 1: and Redskins Eagles, which is exciting.
Speaker 4: They're the Commanders, You're racist, the Washington Commanders.
Speaker 1: It will always be the Redskins to me. In that quarterback,
Speaker 1: if it weren't for being a Chiefs fan, I'd be
Speaker 1: all rooting for the Washington.
Speaker 2: That quarterback is a cool kid. Yeah yeah, what's that?
Speaker 4: Jalen Thomas A big Jalen they call him. He actually
Speaker 4: so skinny, looks like they could break him in a half.
Speaker 4: But he's a wonderful athlete.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I liked his personality. I saw his interview afterwards.
Speaker 4: Yeah nice, nice young man. So anyway, love the footsball.
Speaker 4: It's a playoff time. That's exciting, but not as exciting
Speaker 4: Jack as the inauguration day, which is all right, Donald J.
Speaker 2: Trump blah blah blah. Look at this.
Speaker 1: Original from a rally in twenty fifteen when it fall
Speaker 1: first started.
Speaker 2: Om original maga.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is an og maga hat right here. Got
Speaker 1: it in my head. Yeah, So not even red. It's
Speaker 1: kind of weirdly maroon. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, before the
Speaker 1: red when they were all different colors, but way back then.
Speaker 2: Right, yeah, yeah, that's fantastic.
Speaker 4: Hold on to that. It'll be worth something in three
Speaker 4: hundred and fifty years. So this is just so sweet.
Speaker 4: Time dot com It used to be a significant magazine.
Speaker 2: Kids.
Speaker 4: It doesn't matter now, but they had a big piece
Speaker 4: on Monday, Donald Trump will be sworn in blah blah blah,
Speaker 4: highly anticipated the day of celebration. Others have been dreading
Speaker 4: it and would happily finagle a deal with the universe
Speaker 4: to skip to some other day four years down the road.
Speaker 4: It's that, Oh yeah, you're willing to give up four
Speaker 4: years in your life because you're so upset at the
Speaker 4: presidential election. We need to stop treating adults like their children.
Speaker 4: Whatever happened to phrases? Maybe I should get into the
Speaker 4: bulk of this before I start ranting, But Michael, remind me,
Speaker 4: whatever happened a phrases like I want to finish that sentence.
Speaker 4: Why so much distress after months of processing the outcome
Speaker 4: of this deviceive election? Well, I actually start with many
Speaker 4: people are probably catastrophizing which is a cognitive distortion that
Speaker 4: involves fixating on the worst possible outcomes or aspects of
Speaker 4: something and believing it's bound to be happening.
Speaker 1: Well, AOC's rant on the TikTok I think she put
Speaker 1: out a video no makeup on in that classic young
Speaker 1: progressive sort of way, you know, in your bathroom, no makeup,
Speaker 1: screaming about twenty first century fascism starts tomorrow.
Speaker 2: All right, No it doesn't. You're an idiot. Be quiet.
Speaker 4: So and the first psychologist actually says, hey, look, it's
Speaker 4: one one moment, a four year term, things change, et cetera.
Speaker 2: I just did lighten the hell up.
Speaker 4: On the other hand, Time is not content with that
Speaker 4: and suggests strategies for dealing with the emotional pain of
Speaker 4: inauguration day.
Speaker 2: Things that are.
Speaker 4: Great for your mental health Number one, give back, give
Speaker 4: to charity, Serve someone that's actually good for you anytime. Yeah,
Speaker 4: work out, get creative. Here's where it gets fun. Do
Speaker 4: some forest bathing.
Speaker 2: What is that in forest bathing? Jack give you go
Speaker 2: into the.
Speaker 4: Forests, apparently, and count the trees and observe their long,
Speaker 4: bare branches this time of year, unless you're in a
Speaker 4: coniferous forest.
Speaker 2: Then they still have needles. Anyway, you'll feel humbled.
Speaker 4: This mountain is going to be there forever and ever
Speaker 4: and your one human being.
Speaker 2: Everything passes. Eventually you'll be okay.
Speaker 4: Forest bathing, spend five minutes journaling, Go see your performance,
Speaker 4: Do something kind, Smile at other people, dance it out,
Speaker 4: Cry with a friend.
Speaker 2: This was another one of my favorite.
Speaker 1: Dance it out.
Speaker 4: It might seem counterintuitive, but if you need to shed
Speaker 4: a few tears on inauguration Day, don't do it alone.
Speaker 2: Find other people to cry with.
Speaker 1: I'll call some of my friends, say can I cry
Speaker 1: with you today?
Speaker 2: See how we stop acting like a child? Huh Armstrap
Speaker 2: and Getty sirs.
Speaker 1: A little montage from Trump's big rally yesterday, and.
Speaker 2: By a good feeling. We're like winning, don't we in Washington,
Speaker 2: d C. Please little rock you.
Speaker 3: We have twenty hours until our long national nightmare is over.
Speaker 2: We're almost there.
Speaker 1: Tomorrow, everybody in this very large arena will be very happy.
Speaker 4: With my decision on the Jay six hostages.
Speaker 1: We will not be invaded, we will not be occupied,
Speaker 1: we will not be overrun, we will not be conquered.
Speaker 2: We will be a free and proud.
Speaker 4: Nation once again, and that will take place tomorrow.
Speaker 2: At twelve o'clock.
Speaker 1: As the actual Village People, whoever's left of the Village
Speaker 1: People performing Ymca, which has become Trump's theme song for
Speaker 1: whatever reason.
Speaker 2: Boy, that is exciting.
Speaker 4: It's so sad that only Paul McCartney and Ringo Star
Speaker 4: remain of the Village People. Oh that's right, that's the Beatles.
Speaker 4: I'm always getting them confused. Good Lord. The village People
Speaker 4: a bunch of old men in the Halloween costumes. I'm
Speaker 4: supposed to be excited by that. I'm sorry, I'm not.
Speaker 4: You know why, because I'm a non idiot.
Speaker 1: The important people are filing into the Capitol because of
Speaker 1: the indoor inauguration. Trump becomes president and noon this just
Speaker 1: in breaking news. President elect Trump plans to issue ten
Speaker 1: executive orders related to immigration, including declaring a national emergency
Speaker 1: at the border. An incoming officials says, so he's going
Speaker 1: to declare a national emergency. I don't know what it
Speaker 1: would take to qualify for national emergency if the last
Speaker 1: couple of years has not been one.
Speaker 4: I think that is both politically tenable and constitutionally so
Speaker 4: as well. Congress really ought to redo all of our
Speaker 4: immigration laws and make them stick. But they haven't and
Speaker 4: they probably won't. So yes, Trump's executive orders in this
Speaker 4: realm are absolutely appropriate workingness. It's an emergency by any definition, working.
Speaker 1: My way up to people's opinions on the border as
Speaker 1: Trump takes office. From the New York Times, it's really interesting.
Speaker 1: But this article out today on inauguration Day from Peter Baker,
Speaker 1: which is the main reporter for the New York Times
Speaker 1: for the presidency. And he was big in all the
Speaker 1: Russia stuff all those years. But today defiance is out.
Speaker 1: Differences in Trump returns to a different Washington, and I'll
Speaker 1: read you a couple of paragraphs so I thought were
Speaker 1: really interesting. If Washington looks like a war zone again.
Speaker 1: He talks about the miles of barricades and all the
Speaker 1: security and everything like that. It does not necessarily feel
Speaker 1: that way. Unlike the last time President Elecdonald J. Trump
Speaker 1: took the oath of office eight years ago, the bristling
Speaker 1: tension and angry defiance have given way to accommodation and submission.
Speaker 1: The resistance of twenty seventeen has faded into the resignition
Speaker 1: resignation of twenty twenty five. Some Democrats are talking about
Speaker 1: working with the newly restored Republican president on discrete issues.
Speaker 1: Some news organizations are reorienting their shows for more difference.
Speaker 1: The grassroots opposition that put hundreds of thousands of people
Speaker 1: in the streets in DC to protest Trump the day
Speaker 1: after his swearing in Last Time generated a fraction of
Speaker 1: that in their sequel on Saturday, the track.
Speaker 4: I must interrupt with breaking video. The outgoing Mummy and
Speaker 4: incoming President have just left the White House in the
Speaker 4: company inexplicably of Amy Clovisure.
Speaker 2: Somebody explained that to me.
Speaker 4: And are now getting in the beast the presidential limousine.
Speaker 1: And good riddance. Wow, you are being poorly judged currently
Speaker 1: and your stature status is only going to go down
Speaker 1: throughout history, mister president. As more is known.
Speaker 4: According to a Secret Service source, Joe Biden just said
Speaker 4: to Trump, what are you doing here in DC?
Speaker 1: So, if you remember after Trump got inaugurated and I
Speaker 1: was there in twenty seventeen, there were several hundred thousand
Speaker 1: protesters the next day wearing the pea hats, the pea
Speaker 1: hat parade protesting Trump's They tried to do that again
Speaker 1: yesterday and it was a tiny gathering. There's just no
Speaker 1: energy for it. Why well, Peter Baker explains, some of
Speaker 1: the difference being shown to mister Trump now by the
Speaker 1: political media and corporate world stems from a broader sense
Speaker 1: that perhaps popular opinion is more on mister Trump's side
Speaker 1: than they had assumed.
Speaker 4: I can't believe this.
Speaker 1: This is serious writing from a serious in the New
Speaker 1: York Times. Maybe the difference by the political media and
Speaker 1: corporate worlds comes from a broader sense that perhaps popular
Speaker 1: opinion is more on mister Trump's side than they have assumed.
Speaker 2: It's one of.
Speaker 4: The subtler pleasures a person can enjoy, but it's one
Speaker 4: of the greatest. Watching the bigfoot media, the lefty media
Speaker 4: try to somehow drag their readers toward a view of reality,
Speaker 4: a realistic view of the country. I mean, it's so
Speaker 4: he's couching it in such gentle like, tentative terms. It
Speaker 4: could be, according to some observers, that once in a while,
Speaker 4: Trump's policies are popular.
Speaker 2: Peter, it's okay, buddy, just say it. Dang it.
Speaker 1: They gotta have a microphone in there. The beast has
Speaker 1: left the White House. Trump and Biden are both in
Speaker 1: there and they're driving to the Capitol for the swearing in.
Speaker 1: And there have been some historic conversations in these situations
Speaker 1: between incoming and outgoing presidents that I've read about over
Speaker 1: the years. Eisenhower and Kennedy, Reagan and Carter. There's a
Speaker 1: lot of examples. What are Biden telling me about.
Speaker 4: Saying to Trump, thanks for coming to my inauguration, I'm
Speaker 4: looking forward to.
Speaker 2: My second term. Yeah, yeah, cool? And Trump's like, all right, Joe.
Speaker 1: Another line from Peter Baker in The New York Times,
Speaker 1: after having said, maybe popular opinions more on Trump's side
Speaker 1: than we had realized. In this view, Trump has grasped
Speaker 1: something important by suggesting that the country needs to fundamentally
Speaker 1: rethink some of its embedded ways of doing things. I'll
Speaker 1: be darned, And this is the part I really liked.
Speaker 1: The mood on the eve of the second inauguration is
Speaker 1: different because progressives were stunned when mister Trump beat former
Speaker 1: Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, but not so surprised
Speaker 1: when he beat Vice President Kyla Harrison November. Right, So
Speaker 1: it went from no way he won what to yeah,
Speaker 1: of course he won. She sucked.
Speaker 2: And the old man was senile and we were running
Speaker 2: around saying he wasn't case where coltists.
Speaker 1: So to the policies and how they are, I don't
Speaker 1: know if I want to launch into this or not,
Speaker 1: because they're going to get out of the limo here soon.
Speaker 1: I'm sure we're going to do some play by play
Speaker 1: on that.
Speaker 2: But go ahead.
Speaker 1: The New York Times got into the immigration issue and
Speaker 1: pointing out that, hey, Trump's policies are really popular on
Speaker 1: some of this stuff. For instance, do you support or
Speaker 1: oppose he to the following deporting immigrants who are here
Speaker 1: illegally and have criminal records? Eighty seven percent? So damn
Speaker 1: near ninety percent of Americans want to boot out illegals
Speaker 1: who are criminals. No freaking kidding. Practically everybody agrees with that,
Speaker 1: except for Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, the state of
Speaker 1: California governor knew some kambala hairs. But you people are
Speaker 1: so on the wrong side of history. I don't know
Speaker 1: how you could be so blind to how wrong you are.
Speaker 4: Well, and it's a testament to what effective bullies they
Speaker 4: are that if you that unpopular is the law of
Speaker 4: a number of major cities and d I mean gnarrhea
Speaker 4: is more popular than the notion of keeping criminal illegal
Speaker 4: aliens in the country, and yet it endures.
Speaker 1: Deporting immigrants who are here illegally and arrived over the
Speaker 1: last four years. So he came in during Biden's term.
Speaker 1: You're here illegally. Sixty three percent of Americans want them booted.
Speaker 1: Almost two thirds of Americans.
Speaker 4: Obviously, having heard the first question, includes the law abiding Yeah, no,
Speaker 4: you came in illegally.
Speaker 1: Well, we'll get to that. Deporting all immigrants who are
Speaker 1: here illegally. So that's going back years and years and
Speaker 1: years and includes the dreamers.
Speaker 2: What about the dreamers? That includes everybody who's here illegally.
Speaker 1: The New York Times pulling fifty five percent fifty.
Speaker 2: Five for two, it's a thirteen point win for boot out.
Speaker 1: Everybody who's here illegally, I don't care what their story is.
Speaker 4: Is a popular issue. It's a solid majority. I actually
Speaker 4: don't think people mean that when you got down to
Speaker 4: brass hacks, but I think it is an It's a
Speaker 4: full throated announced pronouncement of what they think about the
Speaker 4: last four years of immigration policy. They are screaming for reform.
Speaker 1: Well, what do you think about it?
Speaker 4: And they don't want for a second to have any
Speaker 4: sort of moderation mistaken as an endorsement of these policies.
Speaker 4: It's the classic I'm not going to give you an
Speaker 4: inch until I see progress.
Speaker 2: Kick them all out, right.
Speaker 1: But on that previous number deporting all the people that
Speaker 1: came in in the last four years, which is almost
Speaker 1: two thirds, how about this, fifty four percent of Hispanics,
Speaker 1: a majority of Hispanics say anybody who came here illegally
Speaker 1: in the last four years, get them out of here.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 1: I don't even know what to say about that. The
Speaker 1: way it's portrayed to us through the media versus the reality.
Speaker 4: Well, right, and it's just so interesting again to watch
Speaker 4: Peter Baker in the New York Times using those polls
Speaker 4: to try to send the signal to their subscribers. And
Speaker 4: this has probably come from the top down. Look, we
Speaker 4: got to tell you the truth about this stuff. The
Speaker 4: woke mind virus is infected us all. But hey, folks,
Speaker 4: here's the way Americans actually think about this stuff.
Speaker 1: Here's one that does not have a majority approval. And
Speaker 1: here's one where I'm knocking Trump. He is going today
Speaker 1: sign an executive order or action, and I get him
Speaker 1: mixed up. One is different than the other. But he's
Speaker 1: going to sign an executive something ending birthright citizenship. I'm
Speaker 1: fine with ending birthright citizenship. It's back from slave days.
Speaker 1: It doesn't make any sense that it's applied the way
Speaker 1: it is today. But the president can't do that. It's
Speaker 1: in the freaking constitution. But that's only forty one percent
Speaker 1: approval on that, and I think it's because people don't
Speaker 1: understand where it came from or what it's for. But
Speaker 1: I think that's true. Yeah, but he's going to try
Speaker 1: to do it through executive order. So you got Biden
Speaker 1: with illegal executive orders out the door. Trump coming in
Speaker 1: the door with at least one that's clearly unconstitutional, and
Speaker 1: he has no right even trying.
Speaker 4: I need to investigate the difference between executive actions and orders.
Speaker 4: But if the action is simply an announcement to get
Speaker 4: the discussion started, I'm okay with that.
Speaker 1: Good point. Good point. I would have to dig into that.
Speaker 1: God dang it, what are Trump and Biden talking about
Speaker 1: in the limo as they head to the Capitol. It's
Speaker 1: taking them a long time to get there. I just
Speaker 1: walked from the Capitol from the White House to the Capitol.
Speaker 1: Actually I rode those little scooters a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 2: Not that far. Are they taking the scenic crowd?
Speaker 1: Or did Biden need to stop and pick up some
Speaker 1: pills at the CBS before they I got out a prescription.
Speaker 2: I'm laid for feeling so good? Boy? Did Granta Garbo
Speaker 2: have great gams? Jeers Classic?
Speaker 1: So there were some rumors floating around over the weekend
Speaker 1: that perhaps they didn't move it in doors because of
Speaker 1: the cold. Again, I don't quite understand that, because there
Speaker 1: were a couple of football games over the weekend that
Speaker 1: were every bit is cold or colder and eighty thousand
Speaker 1: people willingly stood out there for like five hours.
Speaker 2: Right, So who makes that call? Capitol police, Trump himself,
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Don't know either, But there are some rumors floating around
Speaker 1: over the weekend that it was the terrorist threat, and
Speaker 1: you know, they wouldn't necessarily tell us about it, and
Speaker 1: Barack Obama when he was inaugurated the first time in
Speaker 1: eight was wearing a bulletproof vest because they thought there
Speaker 1: was an active terrorist threat happening and we didn't find
Speaker 1: out about it until like two years later. So that
Speaker 1: could be true, although I checked in with somebody in
Speaker 1: the know who would absolutely have access to this knowledge
Speaker 1: and said, no, no, no sniff of a major terrorist
Speaker 1: threat outside of the normal. It's just because of the cold.
Speaker 4: So who knows, Jack, how about a little presidential trivia.
Speaker 2: We'll keep it brief.
Speaker 1: You're about to get out of the car. I can't
Speaker 1: wait to see this.
Speaker 4: The Oaths of Office is only thirty five words, and
Speaker 4: every time I watched the president give it, I'm fightened
Speaker 4: for them because they give them fairly long phrases to
Speaker 4: keep back, and I'm so easily distracted.
Speaker 2: I'm always terrified.
Speaker 4: When I got married, I was terrified that do you
Speaker 4: Joe take this woman?
Speaker 2: Do I Joe take? What was the rest of it?
Speaker 1: Well? Who who screwed it up? And they had to
Speaker 1: redo it in the Capitol? Remember that a couple of
Speaker 1: years back, somebody got the words wrong, and then to
Speaker 1: make sure it stuck, then.
Speaker 2: They had Rehnquist.
Speaker 4: When rehn Quis gave it to Obama, I think you're
Speaker 4: a second interesting bit of inaugurabal trivia. While presidents are
Speaker 4: made to place their hands on a book to swear
Speaker 4: in the.
Speaker 2: Book, is of their choosing.
Speaker 4: Everybody's gone with a Bible, except John Quincy Adams.
Speaker 2: Are the deal art of the deal. That's right. No
Speaker 2: JQA used his law book.
Speaker 1: Uh, we got to take a break here pretty soon.
Speaker 1: But they're getting out of the beast Biden and Trump.
Speaker 1: What if Trump just gets out and kind of pulls
Speaker 1: Biden out? Biden is no longer conscious having been in
Speaker 1: a fist fight like we keep seeing online with those
Speaker 1: AI fights.
Speaker 2: I really thought they'd go through McDonald's drive through hilarious.
Speaker 4: Biden's gonna say to Trump, I'm thinking of pardoning Hunter.
Speaker 2: Trump's gonna say you already did what.
Speaker 1: He's got what two hours and twenty minutes to pardon
Speaker 1: his brother. There's a lot of people wondering if that's
Speaker 1: gonna happen, Oh, Old James, is that one gonna land?
Speaker 2: Plausible denial? My boy? Plausible denial?
Speaker 1: How do you possibly pardon all those other people and
Speaker 1: not your brother unless he just thinks that's.
Speaker 4: Too much of an admission of guilt or he's on
Speaker 4: D's d as well Deaths Store.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Okay, we got more on the way. You can text
Speaker 1: us anytime. What are your thoughts on anything? Four one five,
Speaker 1: five KFTC.
Speaker 2: This is a historic day.
Speaker 5: Finally the guns have fallen, silent relief of people inside
Speaker 5: guards or we're seeing people already streaming back to what
Speaker 5: is left of their homes. It's going to be hugely
Speaker 5: challenging for President Trump's team. This is just phase one.
Speaker 5: Phase two and three need to see the release of
Speaker 5: all of the hostages, dead or alive, and the crucial
Speaker 5: question of what comes next. What does Garza look like?
Speaker 5: Who governs Garsa? Remember a mass is a military organization,
Speaker 5: but it was also the government inside Gaza elected democratically,
Speaker 5: So what replaces them?
Speaker 1: If we weren't involved in this deal, the deal would
Speaker 1: have never happened. And it was so ungracious of Biden is.
Speaker 2: Oh he did it. He didn't do anything. If I
Speaker 2: didn't do.
Speaker 1: This, if we didn't get involved, the hostages would never
Speaker 1: be out. It is not our best moment for it
Speaker 1: to be so focused upon who gets the credit for what,
Speaker 1: Especially as watching Mark Alpern's Zoom call on Friday, he
Speaker 1: was disgusted with the media focusing on and arguing about
Speaker 1: who gets the most credit for bringing this deal together.
Speaker 1: That's not the way to get things accomplished.
Speaker 4: It's almost as if that is their only interest, right, exactly,
Speaker 4: the day to day bickering of politics as opposed to
Speaker 4: governments and governance and policy and actual outcomes for actual
Speaker 4: human beings.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and history. It won't matter. It won't matter at all.
Speaker 1: I thought the coverage of the hostages being freed was weird.
Speaker 1: In most cases, it was way too happy. I mean, it's,
Speaker 1: you know, it'd be great to get your loved one
Speaker 1: back and they're still alive. But let's not pretend that
Speaker 1: these young women, some attractive twenty year old who was
Speaker 1: grabbed from a concert hasn't gone through absolute hell for
Speaker 1: the last year and a half. One woman is missing
Speaker 1: fingers because they were shot off or something like that
Speaker 1: when she originally was fighting captors. Remember a woman who
Speaker 1: was released like a year ago talking about being raped daily.
Speaker 1: Guy would come in and hit her with the butt
Speaker 1: of his rifle and raper every day. I mean, these
Speaker 1: are some really rough stories.
Speaker 4: Well right, and the coverage was like they just on
Speaker 4: Olympic medals or something like that. That is entirely a
Speaker 4: happy occasion, not a not a relief after the grim,
Speaker 4: in some cases unimaginably grim holding of women and children
Speaker 4: hostage by in this organization of monsters.
Speaker 1: Have you seen the video of the one of the
Speaker 1: women being transferred from the Hamas vehicle to the Israeli
Speaker 1: vehicle there and you had all the Hamas fighters their
Speaker 1: faces covered, guns, screaming at this woman as she walked
Speaker 1: ten feet or they moved her ten feet from one
Speaker 1: car to the other. Freaking monsters, animals. They need to
Speaker 1: be killed, every single freaking one of them. National Review
Speaker 1: out with a good piece on how this is just
Speaker 1: such a horrible deal. Neither president should be trying to
Speaker 1: take credit for it, because in retrospect it's going to
Speaker 1: look like a horrible deal.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: The only relief to me is that I expected to
Speaker 4: fall apart within a week, two weeks tops.
Speaker 2: There's no idea about those Hamas fighters.
Speaker 4: No, and the quote unquote deal to get to hostages
Speaker 4: back at least some of them, God bless their souls,
Speaker 4: is giving Hamas an excellent opportunity to reconstitute itself so
Speaker 4: it can continue trying to wipe Israel.
Speaker 2: Off the map.
Speaker 1: The inauguration proceedings are getting started. We'll give you play
Speaker 1: by play on that.
