Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe, Katty.
Speaker 2: Armstrong and Jettie and he arms Wrong get.
Speaker 1: Live from studio scene Sayson your We're in.
Speaker 2: A dimly lit room, dip it.
Speaker 3: In the bowels of the Armstrong and getting communications compounds,
Speaker 3: surrounded by razor wire and barking German shepherds.
Speaker 2: And today we are under the do you hear the
Speaker 2: barking Trump? And today we are under the tutelage of
Speaker 2: our general manager Trumpety Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump Mountain. Geez.
Speaker 1: So many headlines, Trump clears this, Trump fans that Trump
Speaker 1: does this.
Speaker 2: It's just this, you said octang after I said German shepherds,
Speaker 2: which reminds me of something. Yeah.
Speaker 3: So I was listening to NPR because it puts me,
Speaker 3: It gets me angry, and it gets my heart rate going,
Speaker 3: and it gets me prepared for the show. And so
Speaker 3: I had made the point yesterday. Actually, uh, Charlie C.
Speaker 3: Cook of National Review came up with this and pointed out,
Speaker 3: I thought it was really interesting. So of all the
Speaker 3: things that have been compared to Hitler in Nazi Germany
Speaker 3: over the years, I ran through the list and how
Speaker 3: like recently he even gave headlines from various publications like
Speaker 3: you know, Washington Post says Hitler used tariffs or or
Speaker 3: the Atlantic is shameless everything. The school choice, Yeah, the
Speaker 3: Nazis were against school choice, I d exactly and so
Speaker 3: and Charlie Cook was making the point that of all
Speaker 3: the things you compared to Hitler and Nazis, you haven't
Speaker 3: heard a word about it. With a guy who was
Speaker 3: trying to burn Jews, nobody bringing up Nazis. And you know,
Speaker 3: and now there seems to be a movement of people
Speaker 3: who want to kill Jews and yell free Poulsea, but.
Speaker 1: No mention of so they're actually killing Jews. But still
Speaker 1: the Nazi metaphor doesn't work here. I finally heard my
Speaker 1: first Nazi metaphor around this story on NPR today.
Speaker 3: But it was the rounding up of his family, the
Speaker 3: fact that they went and arrested his wife and kids.
Speaker 3: Is this sort of thing they did in Nazi Germany,
Speaker 3: they said on NPR, And I.
Speaker 2: Thought, wait a second, you can't.
Speaker 3: You can't leave the guy out who was burning Jews
Speaker 3: of your Nazi Germany Referenceazi's a little.
Speaker 2: On the no cant ignore it, yell too much.
Speaker 1: That is unbelievable, you guys, didn't nobody, nobody in the newsroom.
Speaker 3: Mentioned, Hey, you know what's weird about this is the
Speaker 3: father of this family kind of acting exactly like a Nazi,
Speaker 3: like a exactly.
Speaker 1: I mean, like everything but the uniforms. When they're rounding
Speaker 1: him up and his family. Why don't we go with
Speaker 1: I don't know, just.
Speaker 2: Anything but not right. Wow, you know I moderate democrats,
Speaker 2: my friends. I reach out to you.
Speaker 1: Let's craft policy together, Let's find compromises, Let's reform our
Speaker 1: schools and our social safety nets and that sort of thing.
Speaker 2: You have ideas, we have ideas. Let's get together.
Speaker 1: But I'll tell you what, You've got to join us
Speaker 1: in fighting against the radical left in this country or
Speaker 1: you will be left miles and miles behind.
Speaker 2: Because I know there are you.
Speaker 1: They are your allies and your voters, and you kind
Speaker 1: of depend on them a little bit. But they're lunatics.
Speaker 1: They're dangerous. You've got to help us quash them or
Speaker 1: or God help us all.
Speaker 3: I'm excited that all everybody on the left on the
Speaker 3: media is now a fiscal conservative, So I hope that
Speaker 3: lasts for a while because they're very concerned about how
Speaker 3: much money is being spent in that bill.
Speaker 2: I just let me finish. Let me finish my very
Speaker 2: brief screen.
Speaker 1: If your allies are burning Jews or turning girls into boys,
Speaker 1: you need to leave them behind. Let's just those two criteria.
Speaker 1: There are a couple more, but those are some key ones. Well,
Speaker 1: he's such a nice guy and he votes loyally Democrat,
Speaker 1: but he's in favor of turning boys into girls and
Speaker 1: vice versa when they're confused.
Speaker 2: Twelve year old? So did you get it out? So
Speaker 2: the Wall Street Journal.
Speaker 3: So the numbers are out on people applying for unemployment
Speaker 3: benefits last week, and it's the highest.
Speaker 2: Number in eight months. Now, what you blame that on?
Speaker 2: I'm not exactly from percession.
Speaker 3: The AP is putting it with tariffs and a slowing economy,
Speaker 3: but I don't know what caused it.
Speaker 2: There you go, Why.
Speaker 1: Would that be the most a shallow recession, just like
Speaker 1: the Nazis did?
Speaker 2: Yeah right, oh, boy, making speeches driving in cars.
Speaker 1: It's getting a little scary, just like Hitler. God I swear,
Speaker 1: so you know, you know what the good news is.
Speaker 1: I must console myself with this over and over again.
Speaker 1: I don't forget exactly what I need to remind myself.
Speaker 1: Eighty percent of America on almost all the things we're
Speaker 1: talking about is with us.
Speaker 2: We have the people, the elites, the so called elites.
Speaker 3: I don't know what they're elite at exactly so called
Speaker 3: elites scroll maall. So the Chinese couple that tried to
Speaker 3: bring the fungus into America, Yeah, who've been arrested. If
Speaker 3: I'm reading a new AI book, I can't wait to
Speaker 3: talk about later that Bill Gates said is the best
Speaker 3: book on AI. When people ask him how bad is
Speaker 3: it gonna could it be? And when's it going to happen,
Speaker 3: he says, read this book. So I'm reading that book,
Speaker 3: and he combines in this AI book, interestingly enough, AI
Speaker 3: and some other technologies that are coming at the same time,
Speaker 3: biogenetics and that sort of stuff, and how the combination
Speaker 3: of the two is beyond anything we've ever dealt with on.
Speaker 2: A planet Earth, for instance.
Speaker 3: I don't know if you create exactly a fungus, but
Speaker 3: the sort of stuff that you could bio create in
Speaker 3: you know, in your own home with the help of AI,
Speaker 3: that could be you know, a disease for human beings
Speaker 3: or cattle or wheat or whatever the hell.
Speaker 2: Is going to be really easy for people to do.
Speaker 3: Or at least bad actors to do in the near
Speaker 3: future with AI, because the two technologies are growing at
Speaker 3: the same time, right.
Speaker 1: I mean I could have the AI. I still couldn't
Speaker 1: create a virus, no matter. You don't need to try,
Speaker 1: you don't need to know how.
Speaker 3: But that's the point, you know, with AI, just it's
Speaker 3: it's similar to the thing of how are we going
Speaker 3: to stop this from happening? Hey, AI hack into the
Speaker 3: local sporting goods store down the street, hack into their website.
Speaker 3: I don't need, I don't need. I don't know anything
Speaker 3: about hacking, but AI does. We'll figure it out and
Speaker 3: could hack into it. It's the same sort of thing
Speaker 3: with you know, what do I need to do? What
Speaker 3: do I need to do to create a a disease
Speaker 3: that's going to kill my neighbor's grass? And they would
Speaker 3: explain it to you and a.
Speaker 2: Little round up in my experience, and I'll teach him
Speaker 2: my direction gasoline, just like the Nazis.
Speaker 1: Oh boy, oh yeah, yeah, Well that is a chilling
Speaker 1: vision of the future, no doubt.
Speaker 3: Well, even if it's not individuals in their garage, you know, uh,
Speaker 3: Chinese and North Koreans, the Russians whoever.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well that was my point that I could, I
Speaker 1: could get the formula for creating a virus.
Speaker 2: But I don't even own a test cube.
Speaker 1: But there are certainly many many bodies around the world
Speaker 1: who have that.
Speaker 2: If you could buy a test tube. But let's not
Speaker 2: get drug down to the a dozen test tubes, I
Speaker 2: still wouldn't know how to make a virus. I tell
Speaker 2: you how.
Speaker 3: But the point is anybody could be able to do it,
Speaker 3: and certainly China could do it, and they used the
Speaker 3: example of you saw what COVID did. I mean, we're
Speaker 3: all horrified at Anthony Fauci, you know, creating viruses that
Speaker 3: to study that are really bad.
Speaker 2: No, but leaked out.
Speaker 3: Well that now somebody could do that on purpose and
Speaker 3: leak it out quite easily in the near future with
Speaker 3: the combination of AI and biogenetics. I honestly I came
Speaker 3: away from reading this book. I've only read the first
Speaker 3: two chapters. We are so freaking doomed. I mean doomed.
Speaker 3: It's the end of mankind, you know, enjoy your last
Speaker 3: year's whether it's two or twenty.
Speaker 2: But it's over, man, It's over. I've said this.
Speaker 1: More than once, and I have not been shaken a
Speaker 1: bit in my belief that when the Good Lord was
Speaker 1: writing or inspiring or whatever the Book of Genesis and
Speaker 1: the Fruit of the Tree of Knowledge, he's looking at
Speaker 1: his calendar, flipping through it, and he circled right around
Speaker 1: two thousand and four or so. He said, Yep, this
Speaker 1: is when a big old chunk of that that that
Speaker 1: apple is really going to hit home. I knew from
Speaker 1: the beginning mankind would invent his own doom, but I
Speaker 1: thought'd be interesting in watch. So yes, it'll be a
Speaker 1: couple of thousand, a few thousand years, but yes, they
Speaker 1: will do it anyway. What are the remedies to these challenges? Now,
Speaker 1: granted I'm a half wit, but I cannot even imagine
Speaker 1: a regime of defenses rigorous enough, tight enough to fend
Speaker 1: off every you know, Islamist group, every malevolent regime, and
Speaker 1: their efforts to or unleash various viruses and microbes and viruses,
Speaker 1: and you know, to kill the crops, to kill the cattle,
Speaker 1: to kill us, the poison the water supply, and to
Speaker 1: make the clocks run back roun.
Speaker 2: I don't know, the clocks running backwards.
Speaker 1: It's all gonna be. It's it's crazy, elldows. People have
Speaker 1: two heads, to paraphrase one of my favorite pants.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I don't know. It'll be fun to watch, folks,
Speaker 2: won't it. Aren't you glad you tuned in. I'll tell
Speaker 2: you what. Yeah, let's you know what.
Speaker 1: We need to have a meeting, maybe even during the
Speaker 1: first commercial break.
Speaker 2: Hey, hey, the whole we're all doomed the same. Probably
Speaker 2: not great for business.
Speaker 3: People switching over to music. They're putting in a Taylor
Speaker 3: Swift CD. I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe Getty on this.
Speaker 3: It is Thursday, June fifth, the year twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3: We're armstrong in getting We approved this program, all right,
Speaker 3: doom be damned. Full speed ahead.
Speaker 1: Here we go, starting the show officially according to the
Speaker 1: FCC Rules and Regulations at mark.
Speaker 4: The strength of the restrictions we're applying depends on the
Speaker 4: severity of the threat pose, and likewise, new countries can
Speaker 4: be added as threats everge around the world.
Speaker 2: But we will not.
Speaker 4: Allow people to enter our country who wish to do
Speaker 4: us harm, and nothing will stop us from keeping America,
Speaker 4: saying it, Oh, we.
Speaker 2: Have got the best parts put up. Damn it, damn
Speaker 2: it's the only part I wanted. Get him out, he says.
Speaker 2: Who edited that?
Speaker 3: Dang o, it was three times as long as it
Speaker 3: need to be and didn't include the best part.
Speaker 2: Get them out?
Speaker 3: Trump said last night. So we're not gonna allow people
Speaker 3: in from lots of countries right after that tourist attack,
Speaker 3: except Egypt is not on the list, which is at
Speaker 3: It's a little confusing.
Speaker 2: So we'll talk.
Speaker 1: Another Muslim travel band from Venezuela and.
Speaker 3: Cuba and Laos, but not Egypt. More on that later.
Speaker 3: We got Katie's headlines coming up and a lot of
Speaker 3: good sweff. Here's our text line four one five two
Speaker 3: nine five KFTC breaking internal radio station news. Hanson go
Speaker 3: down to the kitchen. Tell me there's not a dead
Speaker 3: body in the refrigerator. Oh wow, oh my god. Opening
Speaker 3: the door to put my cream in there, because I
Speaker 3: put pick cream in my coffee like a girl, and
Speaker 3: uh uh Jesus, the stench that came out of that fridge,
Speaker 3: what could that possibly There's got to be a head
Speaker 3: in there. I couldn't even look because the smell is
Speaker 3: so bad. But there's a human head in there. I'm
Speaker 3: sure of it.
Speaker 2: Jesus, it's refrigerated.
Speaker 1: Well, it's turn it's best, it's best best use date.
Speaker 1: All right, people are trying to choke down their breakfast,
Speaker 1: launch or dinner. So let's move on. Let's figure out
Speaker 1: who's reporting what. It's the lead story with Katie Green.
Speaker 5: Katie starting with USA today, President Trump bands travel from
Speaker 5: twelve nations, partially restricts entry from seven others.
Speaker 3: So they it sure looks like a response to that
Speaker 3: Egyptian that was in here illegally, that tried to well,
Speaker 3: did set a bunch of Jewish people on fire and
Speaker 3: tried to kill a whole bunch of people. The Trump
Speaker 3: administration says it's not a reaction to that. They've been
Speaker 3: working on it for weeks. The timing's just a coincidence.
Speaker 3: That makes more sense given the fact that the band
Speaker 3: does not include Egypt.
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, yeah, which is why that guy was round
Speaker 2: a while right. Yeah.
Speaker 5: For ABC, Israel recovers bodies of two American Israeli hostages
Speaker 5: from Gaza.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I maybe I should do a separate podcast
Speaker 3: Things Jack hates about NPR.
Speaker 2: So I don't just talk about it all the time.
Speaker 3: But how hey, MPR, the first time you do a
Speaker 3: story that's negative about Hamas will be the first time
Speaker 3: I've heard it.
Speaker 2: Maybe you do them, but I never hear them.
Speaker 3: It's always about awful things you claim Israel has done,
Speaker 3: oftentimes mainstream media having to retract them recently.
Speaker 2: But they took reform.
Speaker 1: Of resistance is justified, Jack, That's what they believe in NPR.
Speaker 3: But why are you still hanging on to dead bodies
Speaker 3: of Americans or anyone else?
Speaker 2: Hamas well?
Speaker 1: And this was a faction, This is some sort of
Speaker 1: different organization, faction.
Speaker 2: That represented the good people of the Gaza.
Speaker 1: Strip Ah and Israel is just going about their business.
Speaker 1: I believe total conquest, total victory. Anybody who doesn't yet
Speaker 1: get that isn't paying.
Speaker 2: Attention from CNN.
Speaker 5: Trump says Putin told him in phone call he will
Speaker 5: respond to Ukraine's weekend drone attacks.
Speaker 3: This happened right after we got off the air yesterday,
Speaker 3: and my first thought was, well, what did you say
Speaker 3: to him?
Speaker 2: But there's been no news on that.
Speaker 3: Did you say anything to Putin like don't or I'm
Speaker 3: going to arm Ukraine or anything?
Speaker 2: You just shouldn't interesting.
Speaker 1: Later in the day, he put out on social media
Speaker 1: support for I think it's a Senate bill that's percolating
Speaker 1: to pass harsh sanctions on Russian oil sales.
Speaker 2: So that's a hint, not very explicit. So he talked
Speaker 2: to Putin yesterday, and he talked to Shee today. That
Speaker 2: news just breaking hand long talk with prison she of China.
Speaker 5: From the Washington Post, Trump proclamation seeks to restrict international
Speaker 5: students from Harvard.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like I said earlier in the show, Trump fatigue
Speaker 1: is setting in. They're four or five really big impactful.
Speaker 1: This probably won't hold up moves by the administration.
Speaker 2: Just in the last twenty four hours. I don't know.
Speaker 2: I was watching News Nation today.
Speaker 3: Their law experts said this ban of people from countries
Speaker 3: they will hold up with the Supreme Court.
Speaker 1: Was the travel band thing or the travel travel band?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that'll that'll probably hold up.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: From NBC.
Speaker 1: But I'm it's singling it just to finish the thought,
Speaker 1: to single out one university and say you can't enroll anymore,
Speaker 1: for instance. It's just that's not the way it works.
Speaker 1: That's not what the president is supposed to do.
Speaker 5: From NBC Nintendo Switch to draws long lines and excited gamers.
Speaker 3: Okay, so it's finally coming out despite the tariffs.
Speaker 2: Cool from Forbes did he trial?
Speaker 5: Cassie's friend testifies that did He dangled her over seventeenth
Speaker 5: story balcony and said I could kill you.
Speaker 2: Yeah. That's an illegal dangling, is what that is. That's
Speaker 2: what the crime is. Being a monstrous dude is not
Speaker 2: a specific charge. Bring it all together at some point,
Speaker 2: and finally, the Babylon b.
Speaker 5: Uss Harvey Milk to be renamed USS no homo.
Speaker 1: Oh, if you haven't heard the news, boy, Pete Eggs
Speaker 1: have announced they're changing the name of one of them
Speaker 1: that was named after Harvey Milk. Uh yeah, yeah, the
Speaker 1: USS Harvey Milk. As a matter of fact, Yes, well
Speaker 1: we'll be renamed, but not what the Babylon.
Speaker 2: Be suggested USS no Homo.
Speaker 1: Yes, no, that that's an inaccurate report, Jack, stay tuned.
Speaker 1: We'll bring you the details. We fact checked it. False,
Speaker 1: is what our factor was, Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 2: Some political news.
Speaker 6: Apparently President Trump is furious at Elon Musk for turning
Speaker 6: on him and bashing his big beautiful bill. You can
Speaker 6: tell Trump is really mad at Elon because earlier today
Speaker 6: he was seen driving.
Speaker 2: A Prius and that's Trump.
Speaker 6: Said he hasn't felt this betray since McDonald's started putting
Speaker 6: apple slices and happy meals.
Speaker 2: What is going on.
Speaker 3: We'll talk about Big Beautiful Bill, Bill and Elon later.
Speaker 3: Elon basically whipping votes against the the Big Beautiful Bill.
Speaker 2: So we'll see. We'll see how that goes.
Speaker 1: And the why is interesting and a little complicated. I'll
Speaker 1: tell you, the one thing that's driving to me the
Speaker 1: craziest about this is well, I'll save it for when
Speaker 1: we get into that. I'll save it for when we
Speaker 1: get into that self discipline.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Finally, for the first time, we did this later in
Speaker 3: the show yesterday. I just wanted to make sure that
Speaker 3: you at the beginning of the show heard it.
Speaker 2: Also, we did the story.
Speaker 3: New York Times had a headline about American men are
Speaker 3: getting worse at maintaining friendships and there's a crisis in
Speaker 3: America of men not having enough friends. We kind of
Speaker 3: boiled it down to is there or is the fact
Speaker 3: that we're not having babies or dating or getting together
Speaker 3: at all just mean there's all kinds of changes that
Speaker 3: have happened in relationships, and to boil it down to
Speaker 3: men is just kind of an effort once again to
Speaker 3: act like there's something wrong with men. In miff came across.
Speaker 1: A big article about how people aren't doing happy hours.
Speaker 3: With their coworkers right right, right, so don't try to
Speaker 3: make it just a men thing. But I don't know whatever. Anyway,
Speaker 3: this was in the article and we thought it was
Speaker 3: so astounding. The lack of intimacy among male friends may
Speaker 3: feel normal because it's what we're accustomed to, but it isn't.
Speaker 3: Until the twentieth century, it was not uncommon for men
Speaker 3: in this country to openly hold hands, sit on each
Speaker 3: other's laps in public parks, and write each other passionate,
Speaker 3: platonic love letters. I don't know that I believe this.
Speaker 3: How Come no old timey movie I've ever seen ever
Speaker 3: had buch Cassidy didn't sit on Sundance's lap, or did
Speaker 3: he Well, he didn't in the movie, That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: How Come no period piece has ever shown to dudes
Speaker 3: walking down the dirt road old man's or sitting on
Speaker 3: each other's laps. Maybe the Sundance Kid also known as
Speaker 3: the Sundance Love boy learned to shoot left handed so
Speaker 3: they could walk hand in hand into the banks. Wyatt Arup,
Speaker 3: who had been sitting on Doc Calliday's lap when he
Speaker 3: heard the news that the Clanton gang was down the
Speaker 3: Okay Corral, walked hand in hand to the corral before
Speaker 3: the gun the gunman.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just don't know if I believe this is true.
Speaker 1: Dudes sitting on each other's laps. Was there a shortage
Speaker 1: of chairs in eighteen hundreds or what's the deal? Well,
Speaker 1: right now, granted people were a little smaller of frame
Speaker 1: back in the day, not as fat, but a grown
Speaker 1: man on my lap sounds very uncomfortable, not only, you know,
Speaker 1: in the socio sexual way, but just physically speaking.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Maybe I got a weedy little friend. I wouldn't mind,
Speaker 1: but I'd have to think about it. Yeah, yeah, So
Speaker 1: I'm unfamiliar with any portrayal of that, right, I'm familiar
Speaker 1: with the guys sharing a bed on the frontier because
Speaker 1: only was one. I'd only make saddle snakes and cockroaches
Speaker 1: down there, and god knows what.
Speaker 3: Obviously that's not a point of discussion, but the holding
Speaker 3: hands and sitting on each other's laps that's brand new
Speaker 3: news to me, who reads a hell.
Speaker 2: Of a lot of stuff. Yeah, how come I've never
Speaker 2: read any any.
Speaker 3: Literature where they mentioned Jim sitting on Bill's lap.
Speaker 1: I did discuss, you know, yeah, announced he would be
Speaker 1: heading west to the frontier. Yeah, nothing like him. It
Speaker 1: actually comes up that topic in mail bag. Oh cool,
Speaker 1: in just a couple of minutes. So stay tuned for that,
Speaker 1: won't you? And hey, you do you friends? You want
Speaker 1: to sit on each other's laps?
Speaker 2: Boys?
Speaker 3: By the way, So Hanson created a fantastic AI photo
Speaker 3: cartoon of Joe sitting on my lap, and I sent
Speaker 3: it to somebody and they said, for some reason, I'm
Speaker 3: glad you're the one on the bottom. And and I thought,
Speaker 3: in this situation, being on the bottom, it makes you
Speaker 3: a top. I think I was going to say, that's funny.
Speaker 3: I was just about to say, why are you in
Speaker 3: the dominant position?
Speaker 2: Right? So?
Speaker 1: Being a bottom, I was sitting on Jack's lap, Why
Speaker 1: am I riding?
Speaker 2: Isn't anyway in the girl position? Huh? I'm damn manly anyway,
Speaker 2: as far as you know.
Speaker 1: Uh so, you will hear a variety of drive by
Speaker 1: media characterizations of the Trump travel ban. It's another Muslim ban,
Speaker 1: which you remember last time included Cuban, Venezuela and a
Speaker 1: couple other places where you couldn't find a Muslim if
Speaker 1: you looked all day.
Speaker 3: Plus they implemented it immediately and caused a bunch of
Speaker 3: chaos at airports. This one doesn't kick until next week,
Speaker 3: giving the little time to work out.
Speaker 1: Indeed, the president on Wednesday signed a sweeping travel ban
Speaker 1: on twelve countries, largely in the Middle East and Africa,
Speaker 1: but not entirely. Why would you even say that, because
Speaker 1: you're trying to hint at something, and introduced more limited
Speaker 1: travel restrictions on seven others, reintroducing a controversial immigration policy
Speaker 1: that came to define the early days of his first term.
Speaker 2: This is an account by some weasel.
Speaker 1: Michelle Hackman hack indeed Noel Street Journal. The ban will
Speaker 1: completely bar travel to the US by citizens of Afghanistan
Speaker 1: mianmar Chad, Hello, Chad, would you like to sit on
Speaker 1: my lap? The Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia,
Speaker 1: Sudan and Yemen. I don't particularly want a bunch of
Speaker 1: people from there in the country, so I'm not.
Speaker 2: I'm fine with this. Ask your doctor about Ritrea.
Speaker 1: And then citizens from an additional list of countries will
Speaker 1: be barred from permanently immigrating to the United States, along
Speaker 1: with applying for tourists or student visas. Don't show up
Speaker 1: without the paperwork Barundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, not
Speaker 1: the sandwich shop, Californians.
Speaker 2: The country did we.
Speaker 1: Contract the reason? Did we skip for Mnistan and Venezuela. Yeah, well, yeah,
Speaker 1: I was about to get that.
Speaker 2: Get to that.
Speaker 1: The administration justified the restrictions in a couple of different ways.
Speaker 1: Several of the countries had unacceptably high temporary visa overstay rates,
Speaker 1: necessitating a ban. Meaning everybody who gets a damned temporary
Speaker 1: visa stays from this country, and we've caught on to it,
Speaker 1: which is to me a perfectly legitimate, you know, at
Speaker 1: least temporary immigration enforcement mechanism.
Speaker 3: Does the other country have any responsibility for their people
Speaker 3: coming here and overstaying or is that all on us?
Speaker 2: It seems like it'd all be on us. They don't
Speaker 2: have to keep correct.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, unless you want, like the Chinese secret
Speaker 1: police stations to exist from you know, every country on Earth.
Speaker 1: Other countries, the White House said, could not be relied
Speaker 1: upon to issue valid passports to verify a person's identity.
Speaker 2: I hate to get off on this tangent.
Speaker 1: That's interesting this well, yeah, but again it's an absolutely
Speaker 1: legitimate immigration enforcement concern. And you know the Wall Street
Speaker 1: Journal which used to be so good. Now they've got
Speaker 1: to hire young journalists, I guess, and they come out
Speaker 1: of Columbia's journalism school and they're all avowed lefties. But
Speaker 1: this gal right in this article. The administration justified the
Speaker 1: restrictions in a number of ways.
Speaker 2: I mean, maybe I'm.
Speaker 1: Paranoid now justified a prejudicial term. Well, and in a
Speaker 1: number of ways. That number appears to be two two ways.
Speaker 1: The administration cited two concerns justifying the ban. One, everybody
Speaker 1: from here overstates their visis and and number two, in
Speaker 1: many cases valid passports are you can you buy him
Speaker 1: on the street corner in these countries, so we can't
Speaker 1: rely on them. So those two concerns combined, we're doing this,
Speaker 1: those seem pretty legit.
Speaker 2: It's perfectly reasonable.
Speaker 3: Now that interest toally that is on the other country
Speaker 3: that is on you Burundi and whoever else that you've
Speaker 3: got a really loose and fast passport.
Speaker 2: Situation going on in your country.
Speaker 1: Exactly, Turkmenistan, what are you doing over there now? As
Speaker 1: Jack pointed out earlier, Trump, in a video posted to
Speaker 1: his Truth social platform, said, the recent attack in Boulder
Speaker 1: underscores dangers post to the country. I'm a guy uh
Speaker 1: in Egypt who's not included on the band, but he
Speaker 1: overstayed his visa.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Does that strike you as interesting that this happened three
Speaker 3: days after the attack from an Egyptian banning people from
Speaker 3: lots of countries but doesn't include Egypt.
Speaker 1: It's an inconsistency, you know, Trump might say, you know,
Speaker 1: this guy was a very very rare Egyptian who over
Speaker 1: state of visa. You know, he is an exception of
Speaker 1: the rule. We've got great relationships with the egypt and
Speaker 1: are working on immigration matters with them.
Speaker 2: I don't know, it's possible.
Speaker 3: Well, the Trump administration said, they've been in this has
Speaker 3: been in the works for a long time. It's not
Speaker 3: because of that guy. So just the timing is coincidental
Speaker 3: or something, or it reinforced the urgency.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So Donald J said this, and I think this
Speaker 1: is your takeaway very simply, we cannot have open immigration
Speaker 1: or open migration from any country where we cannot safely
Speaker 1: and reliably vet and screen those who seek to enter
Speaker 1: the United States.
Speaker 3: How do you argue with that? How is that not
Speaker 3: the lead in the lead paragraph? How do you argue
Speaker 3: with that sentence?
Speaker 1: And then they immediately quote of Venezuelan Advocacy Group leader
Speaker 1: New YORKA Melendez. My god, what misfortune we've had to suffer.
Speaker 1: This is another terrible blow against our people. I mean, wow,
Speaker 1: what about the American people's sweetheart? Do you spend a
Speaker 1: single second of your life thinking about the American people?
Speaker 2: Because we do. It's our responsibility as American.
Speaker 3: And we're not supposed to worry about our country and
Speaker 3: us though, We're just supposed to worry about other people.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Wrong, saith like seventy five percent of Americans. Oh, let
Speaker 1: me be interesting to see how this plays out now.
Speaker 1: I only saw some Democrats quickly decried the move, including
Speaker 1: Promila Jayapaul, who's an America hating Marxist in the former
Speaker 1: head of the DANCA.
Speaker 2: Sorry back to you, I interrupted like a buffoon. I
Speaker 2: only took in one legal opinion.
Speaker 3: We'll seek out more during the show, but the legal
Speaker 3: analyst on News Nation, which I watch every single day,
Speaker 3: said this will almost certainly be upheld by the Supreme Court,
Speaker 3: as opposed to the UH in quotes Muslim band from
Speaker 3: the first term that was not upheld by the courts.
Speaker 2: Yeah, for what it's worth, I am much much more confident.
Speaker 2: I've always been fairly confident in calling Promila Jaya Paul
Speaker 2: and her name just flit it out of my head.
Speaker 2: Who's the Somali lady from Minnesota? Help me out here?
Speaker 1: Ilion Omar Ilhan Omar, right, yeah, and a couple others.
Speaker 1: I am now the more I look into who is
Speaker 1: backing them, who they've written checks to, who they support,
Speaker 1: they are absolutely supporters of a vowedly anti American organizations.
Speaker 1: I will bring the receipts, as we say these days
Speaker 1: later on in the show.
Speaker 2: Cool.
Speaker 3: So we got to get to mailbag and just a
Speaker 3: little bit, Michael, would you do this for me? Would
Speaker 3: you go down during the break to the refrigerator and
Speaker 3: open it and see what is making that smell?
Speaker 2: Okay? Can you tell no? Tell him no, this is like,
Speaker 2: oh God, smell this. Pass on that friends, Yes, Katie,
Speaker 2: I think there's a human head in there. Yes, Katie, No,
Speaker 2: I'm one hundred percent with Joe. Michael.
Speaker 6: Do not do that.
Speaker 2: You stick your head in the fridge, Jackie with an
Speaker 2: aggressive scent.
Speaker 3: I'm wearing a suit, bully, and Michael's wearing the T
Speaker 3: shirt of the proletariat.
Speaker 2: Now, if you're retire shaming, who are you right? Monster?
Speaker 3: I can't be sticking my suited head in the refrigerator
Speaker 3: to see if it's a human noggin that is causing
Speaker 3: that stench.
Speaker 1: Michael has like the elite of pressing us working class types. Michael, Yeah, good,
Speaker 1: it's repugnant. Yes, Katie, you get the final we got
Speaker 1: a march on him? Yeah, Katie, I'll get Katie the
Speaker 1: final word.
Speaker 5: I say, Michael's got hair, the centil stick to it.
Speaker 2: You're you know, you're clear. That's a decent point there.
Speaker 3: I'll try to go figure out what it is and
Speaker 3: mail bag on the way next. Michael figured it out,
Speaker 3: so he went down to the refrigerator, opened it up,
Speaker 3: stuck his head in it, and then remembered my COVID
Speaker 3: smell thing.
Speaker 2: He said, it's not that bad.
Speaker 3: My unpleasant smells are magnified a hundred times ever since
Speaker 3: I got COVID, which is really annoying with like bo
Speaker 3: and stuff like that, just like it could be minor
Speaker 3: and for me, it's just like I can't even be
Speaker 3: around you.
Speaker 1: Wow, Katie, I don't know about you. I'm feeling kind
Speaker 1: of ashamed here. He is a poor victim of doctor Fauci,
Speaker 1: and we were yelling at him.
Speaker 2: Last I kind of took off on Michael though.
Speaker 1: Fun at the time though, So there's that also, Elon
Speaker 1: getting more and more vocal about how he feels about
Speaker 1: are overspending in America. He's one hundred percent right, by
Speaker 1: the way, keep that in mind and we'll get into
Speaker 1: that in an hour two. It's pretty interesting, I think fabulous.
Speaker 1: Here's your freedom Loved quote of the day. This is
Speaker 1: from the Randyman Rand Paul.
Speaker 2: I like this. There comes a time in the history
Speaker 2: of nations when fear and.
Speaker 1: Forgetfulness cause a nation to hesitate, to waiver, and perhaps
Speaker 1: even to succumb. When that time comes, those who love
Speaker 1: liberty must rise to the occasion. Will you, lovers of liberty,
Speaker 1: rise to the occasion?
Speaker 2: Do you know what particular things spawned that quote? I don't.
Speaker 2: I haven't dug into that.
Speaker 1: But it just reminds us once again that liberty is
Speaker 1: it's not a it's not a giant hunk of granite.
Speaker 1: It's more like an orchid. It must be tended carefully
Speaker 1: or it will die. It's also not the gravity.
Speaker 3: I mean, things aren't pulled back toward liberty when you
Speaker 3: get off track.
Speaker 2: It's the other way around. One hundred percent. One hundred percent. Mailbag,
Speaker 2: drop us a note.
Speaker 1: Mail bag at Armstrong and Geddy dot com.
Speaker 2: Got this from Charlotte Love you.
Speaker 1: Guys, the whole team been considering not listening to the
Speaker 1: program anymore.
Speaker 2: Because it's also depressing.
Speaker 1: Maybe you could have one show a week with no
Speaker 1: doom and gloom, just fun.
Speaker 2: Stories and more, the rest of the crew adding some fun.
Speaker 2: Just a thought. PS.
Speaker 1: I'm sure I'll never stop listening because I've been with
Speaker 1: you from day one. But Charlotte, my love, you are
Speaker 1: so right.
Speaker 2: You're so right.
Speaker 3: Should we do one show a week where we don't
Speaker 3: predict the end of mankind?
Speaker 6: Well?
Speaker 1: Because mankind will end anyway. It's not like mankind needs
Speaker 1: us to end right. Let's whistle past the graveyard.
Speaker 2: Charlotte, you child, you fool.
Speaker 1: I've changed my mind the space of five seconds. Let's see, Yes,
Speaker 1: we will try not to focus on the negative. Ed
Speaker 1: out of Oklahoma says you guys were asking where the
Speaker 1: term panty waste came from. It originally referred to a
Speaker 1: child's garment, specifically short pants fastened to a waist band
Speaker 1: worn by children nearly twentieth century. Later evolved into a
Speaker 1: derogatory term for an ineffectual or effeminate man. Yes, a
Speaker 1: non grown ass man, if you will, it's kind of
Speaker 1: I'm picturing like a garter belt for children, but to
Speaker 1: hold up their shorts.
Speaker 3: And this was at roughly the same time that a
Speaker 3: couple of kids' fathers would be sitting on each other's
Speaker 3: laps in the park.
Speaker 1: Related unrelated, let's see Greg from Sunnyvale. We'll get back
Speaker 1: to that in a minute. By the way, beautiful Sunnyvale, California.
Speaker 1: The fungus of smuggling Chinese agents. Come on, you racists.
Speaker 1: You're perpetuating the increase in violent attacks of Asian Americans
Speaker 1: in the US. The fungus is just a discoloration of
Speaker 1: the toenails of the pangolin that was eating a bat
Speaker 1: at the wet market.
Speaker 3: But we should ask doctor Fauci. To be sure, I
Speaker 3: sense sarcasm.
Speaker 1: I love that you guys are gonna perpetuate attacks on
Speaker 1: Asian Americans in the wake of COVID.
Speaker 3: Which got way more attention at high levels than the
Speaker 3: actual murdering of Jews. Is getting right, Yeah, And the
Speaker 3: vast majority of that, having spoken to the law enforcement
Speaker 3: officers involved, at least in northern California, was black people
Speaker 3: men in particular, targeting old Asian people because they tend
Speaker 3: to carry cash, and those statistics were used by the
Speaker 3: mainstream media, the usual suspect of the world to suggest
Speaker 3: that it's open season on Asians because bigoted Americans blame
Speaker 3: them for COVID.
Speaker 2: It never was real.
Speaker 1: Moving along topic of men holding hands, Josi in Utah
Speaker 1: rights morning Boys a few years ago as in Italy
Speaker 1: and witnessed two men walking with their wives. The men
Speaker 1: appeared to be father and son, father and his old
Speaker 1: age son in his middle age. They were walking in
Speaker 1: the middle of the group and holding hands.
Speaker 2: Blew my mind.
Speaker 1: As I spent more time in Italy, I watched out
Speaker 1: for this phenomenon, witnessed it several times. My son was
Speaker 1: around four at the time and held my hand everywhere
Speaker 1: I went. Now, my son is seventeen, never holds my hand,
Speaker 1: of course, and I still ask myself why in our
Speaker 1: culture it has to stop? Why is it totally acceptable
Speaker 1: in Italy but not here? At what point did Americans
Speaker 1: decide it's just something men can't do, even with our
Speaker 1: own sons.
Speaker 3: That's interesting culturally. I don't think that's an American thing
Speaker 3: for I doubt that that's happening in Germany or Great Britain.
Speaker 2: I'm just guessing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, nobody shows any affection to anybody, including their spouse
Speaker 1: in Britain. But in India, when I was younger, writes
Speaker 1: b it was not unusuals come place to see men
Speaker 1: holding hands or sitting men on men laps. Remember one
Speaker 1: time our driver saw somebody new needing to ride a
Speaker 1: mile up the road instead of taking a seat for
Speaker 1: the mile, right, he said, on the driver's lap with
Speaker 1: the door half open. Where was this in India? A
Speaker 1: very machio culture in the seventies, that guy, that guy
Speaker 1: wanted to do you. That's what's going on there, oh lady, big.
Speaker 3: Beautiful abomination an hour two. I hope you can stick
Speaker 3: around for it.
