Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio of the
Speaker 1: George Washington Broadcast Center.
Speaker 2: Jack Armstrong and Shoe Getty Armstrong and Getty, I know,
Speaker 2: keee Armstrong and Yetty. That's right.
Speaker 3: Google unveiled a new quantum computer that it claims can
Speaker 3: do tasks in minutes that would take a traditional supercomputer
Speaker 3: ten septillion years to complete. Just something to think about
Speaker 3: while you're watching porn on it.
Speaker 4: Wow, that is something I hadn't heard that specifically. I
Speaker 4: heard a tease the other day that this Google chip
Speaker 4: is gonna just like blow everything out of the water
Speaker 4: and change everything. I don't do any tasks that are
Speaker 4: very hard. Yeah, what's the temperature in Kansas City? I mean,
Speaker 4: you know, I don't need super computing power to figure
Speaker 4: that out.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I've bought a couple of laptops and or iPads recently,
Speaker 1: and you know, I use a lot of Apple products
Speaker 1: and they have such amazing capabilities right now for you know,
Speaker 1: doing audio and video production, and that takes a really
Speaker 1: really zoomy computer. And I always think, you know, what
Speaker 1: I might I might get into that someday I might
Speaker 1: start editing that, maybe I'll make a.
Speaker 2: Movie that's what I'll do.
Speaker 1: But you're right, a lot of these capabilities are so
Speaker 1: beyond ninety nine percent of what everybody uses it for.
Speaker 4: I'd have a friend who was a PhD, and a
Speaker 4: lot of the projects that they would work on, they
Speaker 4: would have their computer running all day and all night
Speaker 4: to get the project done. And I suppose for a
Speaker 4: person like that this sort of leap forward to be
Speaker 4: a big deal instead of like fifteen hours of your
Speaker 4: computer running.
Speaker 2: And do it in a second. It'll all be used
Speaker 2: for porn and bitcoin, bitcoin, mighty.
Speaker 4: Streaming and Netflix series. This is the most hilarious thing
Speaker 4: I've seen today. So I read Mark Alprin's newsletter that
Speaker 4: Trump is trying to make a show out of the inauguration,
Speaker 4: which is not surprising, and that Trump was very bummed
Speaker 4: that his first inauguration, which I was at dressed as
Speaker 4: a spy. I was at the first inauguration, and but
Speaker 4: it was still under the full cloud of suspicion of
Speaker 4: Russia rigged it and everything, and just it was all
Speaker 4: kinds of weird and like not taken seriously by mainstream media.
Speaker 4: All that's out the window now, right, and he's being
Speaker 4: taken completely seriously, and he wants it to be like
Speaker 4: star studded and fun and like a show, because he's
Speaker 4: a guy who puts on shows.
Speaker 2: He's a TV guy anyway.
Speaker 4: So I just came across this Village People founder talks
Speaker 4: possibility of performing YMCA at the inauguration. I can see
Speaker 4: somehow Trump has the Village People guy up there and
Speaker 4: the whole crowd's doing the YMCA.
Speaker 1: You give me a Beatles reunion or that. I've got
Speaker 1: to choose though, IMCA Jack.
Speaker 2: I can see that sort of thing.
Speaker 5: Yeah, a right of like Dalist celebrities.
Speaker 1: Even if it's like really really good, there will be
Speaker 1: aspects of it that are incredibly campy. Oh but why
Speaker 1: wouldn't there be. He's you know, he's a populist entertainer.
Speaker 1: He's not gonna apologize for Jeff Foxworthy, you know, for instance,
Speaker 1: that that sort of thing.
Speaker 4: I'll have a comedian come up and besmirch the Puerto
Speaker 4: Ricans or something before you again, because.
Speaker 2: That cost him the election. Oh that's right.
Speaker 1: It didn't cause a freaking flip. It is a nat
Speaker 1: farting one hundred miles away.
Speaker 4: It was a non event, and it was written up
Speaker 4: like it was the Hindenburgs. Mister President, if you could
Speaker 4: put your right hand on the same Bible that Lincoln used,
Speaker 4: I will. But right after I tell you about these
Speaker 4: new tennis shoes that I have coming out covered in
Speaker 4: gold with an American flag. Here's some real news just
Speaker 4: came out today. Remember we were having skyrocketing drug overdose
Speaker 4: deaths each year, we'd be more amazed by how many
Speaker 4: people had died. First time in a while, it's gone down.
Speaker 4: Drug overdose deaths in the United States fell seventeen percent
Speaker 4: year to year, according to the CDC. I wonder if
Speaker 4: we've just maxed out on the number of people that
Speaker 4: do hard drugs. Eventually all of them are going to
Speaker 4: be dead, aren't they.
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I mean certainly new people are getting addicted
Speaker 1: all the time, but I'm hoping not nearly as much.
Speaker 2: You know, Well, I.
Speaker 1: Don't want to jump the gun, because we're going to
Speaker 1: do something really interesting and important.
Speaker 6: But h.
Speaker 1: I just I want every young person to know hard
Speaker 1: drugs are death. Even pills. Now, you just that ought
Speaker 1: to be instead of the gender bread person. They got
Speaker 1: to be preaching that in schools constantly. But yeah, that's
Speaker 1: something car fentanyl, it's not. I'm not saying fentanyl. I'm
Speaker 1: saying car Fentanyl is one hundred times more deadly than fentanyl. Apparently,
Speaker 1: if you just think about it, one hundred people die
Speaker 1: oh too late. How can it be one hundred times
Speaker 1: more deadly than fentanyl.
Speaker 2: I don't know anyway.
Speaker 1: The number of overdose deaths are overall pretty low. It's
Speaker 1: in the hundreds over the last year, but the number
Speaker 1: has increased sevenfold in the past year, and it could
Speaker 1: it's threatening to reverse.
Speaker 2: Recent drop and drug overdoses.
Speaker 1: I certainly hope not. TRN addiction is a terrible, terrible thing.
Speaker 1: Well yeah, and all over the world.
Speaker 4: So I didn't know that Asad they're in Syria, was
Speaker 4: running a narco state to a certain extent with whatever
Speaker 4: the name of that drug is, their version of fentanyl
Speaker 4: that had devastated the entire Middle East.
Speaker 5: I heard MBS talking about it the other day.
Speaker 4: Finally we can, maybe you know, get a handle on
Speaker 4: this because it's killing so many people in Saudi Arabia
Speaker 4: and Egypt and Jordan and all over young people taking
Speaker 4: these drugs. And Assad was behind the manufacturing, sale of
Speaker 4: it and profiting. It was like he was running a
Speaker 4: giant drug cartel around this drug. It's amazing help of
Speaker 4: some Islamis groups too. It's just utterly unholy, you know, cabal.
Speaker 5: You wouldn't think it would work because word to get around.
Speaker 6: Now.
Speaker 4: You don't want to take this because it'll kill you,
Speaker 4: but I heard it makes you feel really good. Yeah,
Speaker 4: but it kills like half the people who take it.
Speaker 4: But I heard it makes you feel really good. Apparently
Speaker 4: wins the day. As an argument, Well, if.
Speaker 2: It were half, I think you'd have an argument.
Speaker 1: But if you tell it an actual junkie, a drug
Speaker 1: addict that you know the actual statistics, one person out
Speaker 1: of fifteen hundred is something awful happened to them or
Speaker 1: whatever that number is.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I wonder what the number is. It's closer to
Speaker 4: yours than mine by far.
Speaker 2: But they'd say, shut up, give me a hit.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I suppose speaking which I have revolutionary idea here.
Speaker 1: We have the best most important email of the month,
Speaker 1: perhaps the year. Want to touch on it again? Why
Speaker 1: don't we take a break now on time and have
Speaker 1: plenty of time On the other side.
Speaker 5: Do we have a prize for that email of the month?
Speaker 5: Do we send the move one mitz or something.
Speaker 2: Big at a boy or at a girl.
Speaker 4: I got both of my kids from the Armstrong and
Speaker 4: Geddy store at Armstrong Ingeeddy dot com. I got both
Speaker 4: my kids underwear that have my name on They're junk
Speaker 4: that is.
Speaker 2: Both troubling into music.
Speaker 1: Wow, please please, let's.
Speaker 2: Take a break or something. I didn't know when I
Speaker 2: was younger.
Speaker 4: Someday I would have a brand that it would be
Speaker 4: on underwear that would give out his gifts.
Speaker 2: The sports Braw endorsed by my daughter.
Speaker 5: So my name can be spread across your genitalia. Yes, Katie, No,
Speaker 5: just how about that break you know? Oh right, yes,
Speaker 5: Joe was going to take a break and.
Speaker 2: We Yeah, that would be good. Thank you, God, bless you. Katie.
Speaker 2: Have you tried the Armstrong and Geddy Sportsprong yet? I have?
Speaker 5: I wor frequently?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Awthan markeably comfortable, isn't Yeah?
Speaker 5: To keep those things in place, which I guess is
Speaker 5: the goal the best of its ability. Yes, it does
Speaker 5: shash to the.
Speaker 2: Best of its ability. You can only ask it to
Speaker 2: do so much.
Speaker 4: Well, you have the email of the month next all Christmas?
Speaker 2: What's stopping you? Talent? I didn't get a good instrument
Speaker 2: like that.
Speaker 1: I just didn't I sound like an angry jackass when
Speaker 1: I said it? Anyway, Uh, this is incredibly important and serious.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: We've been talking about how the term homeless is just
Speaker 1: it's beyond useless. It's misleading because what is notable about
Speaker 1: streaked people is not the fact that they do not
Speaker 1: have a permanent address. That is not the primary issue.
Speaker 1: It's drug addiction. And as one of our beloved listeners
Speaker 1: suggested the term, I'd love to give them credit. Where
Speaker 1: did I put it?
Speaker 2: Oh, well, it's.
Speaker 1: BJ said transient drug Addicts tdas We're talking about this
Speaker 1: the other other day and got the attention of al
Speaker 1: or Aleen Anonymous, who said some really nice things about
Speaker 1: the show, which we appreciate very much. But I work
Speaker 1: with homeless in certain California cities, most challenging areas, lists
Speaker 1: them and just about every street with significant homeless encampments
Speaker 1: and quotes. I was listening to you this morning yesterday,
Speaker 1: Well you were dropping truth bombs about the homeless on
Speaker 1: the radio, and I found myself yelling, yes, finally someone
Speaker 1: gets it, because you're absolutely right.
Speaker 2: We don't have a homeless problem. What we have is
Speaker 2: a drug problem.
Speaker 1: Eighty five percent of the folks I work with our
Speaker 1: battling drug addiction. Another ten percent are mentally ill because
Speaker 1: of drug addiction. They're remaining five percent they're just mentally
Speaker 1: ill and need can in a space that can help them.
Speaker 2: While many quote unquote.
Speaker 1: Homeless advocates argue that most homeless individuals are simply struggling
Speaker 1: abused moms or families in need of assistance, in my
Speaker 1: five years of experience working in the toughest parts of
Speaker 1: our city, I have encountered only one such family one.
Speaker 1: The rest middle aged men and women, mostly trapped in
Speaker 1: a cycle of addiction, who will say or do anything
Speaker 1: to feed their habit.
Speaker 5: I would think there'd be enough people on the left
Speaker 5: who are sympathetic to that crowd that they'd want to
Speaker 5: identify the actual problem.
Speaker 2: You would think that, wouldn't you.
Speaker 1: You'd think being completely ineffective would cause people to reassess
Speaker 1: their perceptions and their strategies. But that's just not a
Speaker 1: great strength of the left anyway.
Speaker 4: Run one unfortunate medical bill away from being homeless, and,
Speaker 4: as we've been saying for years, yeah you whatever, medical bill,
Speaker 4: lose your job, whatever, and you start doing meth.
Speaker 2: And move under a bridge.
Speaker 1: Yeah, clearly sure the solutions in quotes we keep hearing
Speaker 1: about like tiny homes are just band aids on bullet wounds.
Speaker 1: The county's current plan is building a few hundred homes,
Speaker 1: he mentions the location. Unless there's a serious plan for
Speaker 1: dealing with addiction, you're just creating a drug camp. By
Speaker 1: serious plan, I mean more than the tired line we
Speaker 1: hear that quote. Support services will be provided. Politicians love
Speaker 1: the optics of tiny homes because people see something and
Speaker 1: that looks like action to solve the problem. But when
Speaker 1: the rules are broken at the tiny home settlements is
Speaker 1: inevitably they are. These folks end up right back on
Speaker 1: the streets. The turnover rate is astounding. I'm not sure
Speaker 1: if anyone power is noticed, but drug addicts don't obey
Speaker 1: rules very well. And add to the fact that it
Speaker 1: takes forty five days, yes, forty five days are system
Speaker 1: stinks to have a person cleared for intake services. Unfortunately,
Speaker 1: that's typically forty four days after they've disappeared back into
Speaker 1: the fog to do more drugs. Why not force ree well,
Speaker 1: rehab and jack. You've talked about this fair amount has
Speaker 1: a ninety four percent failure rate. The first time around,
Speaker 1: and politicians know voters won't stomach a pro program. That's
Speaker 1: nine hundred and forty thousand dollars of failure for every
Speaker 1: million dollars spent. Plus ninety percent of addicts refuse services
Speaker 1: outright because it cuts into their getting high time. For context,
Speaker 1: thirty five dollars can purchase an eight ball. That's a
Speaker 1: pretty good quantity of drugs, providing a high for several days,
Speaker 1: provided they do not share. Five dollars keeps them high
Speaker 1: for a day. In all you people handing out cash
Speaker 1: at stop lights stop, they use the cash to buy
Speaker 1: drugs and they throw the food away.
Speaker 2: Addicts aren't known for huge appetites.
Speaker 4: I see it all the time in my car at
Speaker 4: an intersection. You know, they roll down the window and
Speaker 4: give some ace some money. What do you think you're doing,
Speaker 4: soft heart, soft head?
Speaker 1: The truth is al rites that people change when the
Speaker 1: pain of staying the same outweighs the pain of change.
Speaker 1: Every recovering addict I've worked with acknowledges that they had
Speaker 1: to reach their lowest point before they could turn things around. However,
Speaker 1: as a society where excessively preoccupied with mitigating the consequences,
Speaker 1: we feed house and provide medical care, creating a dual
Speaker 1: dependency city services and drug dealers.
Speaker 2: The dealers love it.
Speaker 1: If we want real change, we need drug courts back,
Speaker 1: we need accountability, we need punishment, and we need to
Speaker 1: stop pretending the problem is something it's not. We need
Speaker 1: to stop acting like a longtime drug addict as the
Speaker 1: same mental capacity in rights that everyone else does. Most
Speaker 1: addicts will not seek help for their addiction to reach
Speaker 1: the lowest point. It's just too easy to stay high
Speaker 1: and there's very little incentive for them to change. Interestingly,
Speaker 1: we have a chance to save them if they reach
Speaker 1: their lowest point within the first two years of their addiction.
Speaker 1: After that, the situation becomes unpredictable. In other words, the worst,
Speaker 1: most horrible and cruel thing you can do to you
Speaker 1: human being is mitigate the consequences of their addiction.
Speaker 2: That's the worst.
Speaker 1: Thing you can do, and we're doing it systematically to
Speaker 1: the cost of billions of dollars.
Speaker 4: I don't really know anything about drug addiction, but that's
Speaker 4: really interesting that if you don't catch them in the
Speaker 4: first two years, it gets much much harder. So, yeah,
Speaker 4: if you can allow people to get past that two
Speaker 4: year mark by providing them food, shelter, whatever.
Speaker 2: Then they're freaking doomed. You've doomed them.
Speaker 1: How about that that's beyond then whise that's evil. At
Speaker 1: some point, misguided becomes evil. If you guard your misguidedness
Speaker 1: for reasons of ego and virtue signaling and the rest
Speaker 1: of it, you are killing people with kindness.
Speaker 4: And that's on the drug addic side of it, not
Speaker 4: to mention the law abiding, not drug addicts side of life,
Speaker 4: where you just wish you could have your park or
Speaker 4: safe sidewalk, or have your business stay open or whatever.
Speaker 2: You know, you're right.
Speaker 1: A person could make the argument, there's no effing reason
Speaker 1: we should be putting up with this. So appreciate the
Speaker 1: screen about addiction, but why don't we start there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's the divide between people who can take in reality
Speaker 1: and say this is gonna hurt to do this. There's
Speaker 1: gonna be pain, it's gonna pain me to do this,
Speaker 1: but it's got to happen those people and those who
Speaker 1: just can't face up to that.
Speaker 2: That's one of the biggest gulfs that exists.
Speaker 4: I don't know who said this first, but it's really
Speaker 4: really good that conservatives hate people but love humanity. Liberals
Speaker 4: love humans but hate humanity.
Speaker 2: Wops it. I think I don't.
Speaker 4: I don't think so works so well in these situations
Speaker 4: because if you're a liberal, you think, here's this human,
Speaker 4: this downtrodden human, I'm gonna give them some money and
Speaker 4: some food so we'll have a good day. You're damaging
Speaker 4: humanity by doing that, the the overall culture, the overall
Speaker 4: society by doing that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well lead to more.
Speaker 2: Right. Yeah.
Speaker 4: I was happy to see Elon Musk on this topic
Speaker 4: over the weekend, pointing out, yeah, it's a drug addiction problem.
Speaker 4: When are we going to wake up to that? Because
Speaker 4: he's got a pretty big platform.
Speaker 2: Right right.
Speaker 1: But again, as we mentioned earlier, there are billions of
Speaker 1: dollars being handed out with the excuse of quote unquote homelessness,
Speaker 1: and that gravy train is what keeps politicians in power.
Speaker 1: That handing out money and receiving votes and power back
Speaker 1: building more nearly as much money and tough love.
Speaker 4: Building more tiny homes at the cost of billions and
Speaker 4: billions of dollars and accomplishing nothing with the drug addiction problem.
Speaker 2: Yep, insane.
Speaker 4: God, that's so frustrating me thought wise, it's evil. Our
Speaker 4: text line is four one five.
Speaker 2: K fte Armstrong and getty.
Speaker 7: Well, it's been twelve days since President Biden shocked many
Speaker 7: by breaking his promise and issuing a sweeping pardon for
Speaker 7: his son Hunter. Now, as you mentioned, the President issuing
Speaker 7: clemency for nearly fifteen hundred Americans convicted on a variety
Speaker 7: of crimes overnight. Biden said most of today's commutations will
Speaker 7: impact people who are placed on home confinement during the
Speaker 7: pandemic and have shown personal growth. We haven't gotten the
Speaker 7: full list yet of those impacted. The White House says,
Speaker 7: among the thirty nine who were issued full pardons, none
Speaker 7: were violent offenders. In a statement, the President says he'll
Speaker 7: take more steps in the weeks ahead. The administration will
Speaker 7: continue reviewing clemency petitions to advance equal justice, promote public safety,
Speaker 7: support rehabilitation and re entry, and provide meaningful second chances.
Speaker 4: Wouldn't someone want their act somewhat together? Have done that
Speaker 4: with Hunter's pardon, to try to make it seem like
Speaker 4: I'm partnering Hunter and for all the other people out
Speaker 4: there that have suffered the wrath of drug addiction or
Speaker 4: something or other.
Speaker 1: Blah, blah, yeah, exactly, Yeah, you're right, that would have
Speaker 1: been a little more graceful. Joe Biden is a non
Speaker 1: compass meant his mummy, so obviously his aides are using
Speaker 1: their final moments in the White House to change the
Speaker 1: landscape anyway they can, with all sorts of commutations and
Speaker 1: clemencies and uh, what's his face?
Speaker 2: The waste of skin.
Speaker 1: See, I've already forgotten about the Biden administration because they're
Speaker 1: no longer wait, they are.
Speaker 2: Still in church. Why what's his name? The ale majorcis Yeah,
Speaker 2: just tripled.
Speaker 1: I think it was the length of the work permits
Speaker 1: for illegal immigrants who get those specials.
Speaker 2: I didn't know. I didn't hear that. Didn't vote.
Speaker 1: No, No, it's not nowhere in the media, but they
Speaker 1: just declared it with the stroke of the pen. So
Speaker 1: behind the scenes and sometimes in front of them, they're
Speaker 1: doing everything they can in the final weeks.
Speaker 2: To further pervert the way the US functions.
Speaker 5: Ian Bremer tweeted out the numbers yesterday.
Speaker 4: Some more than eight million people came into this country
Speaker 4: during the Biden administration. It's the largest movement of human
Speaker 4: beings on Earth in the history of the planet. Happened
Speaker 4: because he had a democratic presidency. They didn't care about this,
Speaker 4: and nobody voted for it. Nobody wasn't a topic of
Speaker 4: conversation or no debates.
Speaker 2: It just happened. Right. It's outrageous, It is horrifying. It's criminal.
Speaker 1: Yeah, speaking of criminal, I know, I know how you feel.
Speaker 1: You're watching the view and you're thinking, boy, this is great,
Speaker 1: but it'd be better if Bill Clinton.
Speaker 4: Was on Who's still Who's president elected? A ninety two?
Speaker 4: Still younger than Joe Biden? Yes, yeah, and Trump? Right,
Speaker 4: I think so.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Anyway, here's Billy Jeff on the View talking about well,
Speaker 1: I think it becomes fairly clear what he's talking about.
Speaker 8: Do you think it would be wise of President Biden
Speaker 8: to preemptively part in any potential targets? What about your wife,
Speaker 8: Hillary Clinton? She apparently is on cash Beteil's list.
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, they got a problem with her because.
Speaker 2: First she didn't do anything wrong. Of course, seconds, she.
Speaker 6: Followed the rules exactly as they were written. Third, Trump's
Speaker 6: State department. Trump's State department found they remember how the
Speaker 6: emails was such a big issue In twenty sixteen, Trump's
Speaker 6: State department found that Hillary sent and received exactly zero
Speaker 6: classified emails on her purfle device.
Speaker 2: It was a hole. That was a made up phony story. Wow.
Speaker 4: So they're discussing Hillary's emails on the View with Bill Clinton,
Speaker 4: who's the same age as Donald Trump and four years
Speaker 4: younger than Joe Biden.
Speaker 2: Preemptive pardons for Hillary? Is this a thing?
Speaker 4: Charlemagne, the god who gets quoted a lot or variety
Speaker 4: of reasons, who does a radio show or a podcast
Speaker 4: or whatever he does and talks to Democrats all the time,
Speaker 4: said today, Charlemagne thengan warns old ass Biden better not
Speaker 4: hand out preemptive pardons for Trump rivals, like Hillary Clinton.
Speaker 2: Makes you look guilty.
Speaker 5: I would say, if I'm Hillary, I'm like, hey, hey, dude,
Speaker 5: I know I haven't seen you.
Speaker 2: In a while. But Bill, don't bring me into this.
Speaker 2: It's just leave me out of it.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Please, You're gonna pardon me in avest for what I
Speaker 1: haven't done anything. Yeah, that's so odd. I want to
Speaker 1: hear Jonathan Turley's comment on this, Michael one oh three, and.
Speaker 2: Part of it is to try to fulfill the narrative.
Speaker 9: The nightmare for Democrats is that democracy is not going
Speaker 9: to collapse, that people are not going to be taken
Speaker 9: in mass to camps, as was stated on various programs.
Speaker 9: That's a real problem if democracy actually survives. The best
Speaker 9: way to blunt that and to preserve the narrative and say, oh, well,
Speaker 9: you know, there are these white Knight pardons that that
Speaker 9: Biden saved America by pardoning whole categories of people. So
Speaker 9: we couldn't do that, and that's the only backup position
Speaker 9: that they have.
Speaker 2: But you now have this strange thing like Bill.
Speaker 9: Clinton saying, you know, I really think that my wife
Speaker 9: should be on that list. You've got commentators saying I
Speaker 9: need to be on that list, and the list of
Speaker 9: nauties are getting longer for this season.
Speaker 2: That's an interesting take.
Speaker 1: They're reinforcing the narrative that it's going to be turned
Speaker 1: into the Third Reich, and so we must grant these
Speaker 1: pardons to the good and righteous before the monstrous Who's office?
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 4: Yeah, see back to the immigration thing we touched on briefly,
Speaker 4: just because Majorcus's name came up in Bremer tweeted this out.
Speaker 4: Total net migration under Biden's administration likely to exceed eight
Speaker 4: million people, a faster pace than the peak years of
Speaker 4: Ellis Island, which is when we desperately needed more human
Speaker 4: beings to settle an empty country. Completely different situation. Anybody
Speaker 4: who uses, you know, the mid eighteen hundreds is a
Speaker 4: standard for immigration, I mean, what the hell? It makes
Speaker 4: no sense, But we now have the highest percentage of
Speaker 4: foreign born in our country that we've ever had. Who
Speaker 4: voted for that, Maybe you think it's a good idea
Speaker 4: of find, but we didn't have a debate about it,
Speaker 4: we didn't vote for it. It wasn't a policy decision,
Speaker 4: just happened to wille Nelly.
Speaker 1: Read a great editorial by an employer last night.
Speaker 2: I think it was he was.
Speaker 1: The gist of what he was saying was he has many,
Speaker 1: many immigrant employees. He said, unless you're a huge and
Speaker 1: can hide illegals or so small, nobody's ever going to
Speaker 1: check you. It's really hard to employ illegal aliens in
Speaker 1: his business anyway. And he said, so he strictly deals
Speaker 1: with lawful immigrants, aliens who have you know, paperwork. But
Speaker 1: he said, look, it's this simple. They work hard. I
Speaker 1: can't hire native born Americans who will work hard.
Speaker 2: The immigrants there is way way better.
Speaker 1: So yeah, no, I can't find white people are native
Speaker 1: people to do these jobs.
Speaker 4: Right, similar to those clips we played from sixty minutes
Speaker 4: a couple of weeks ago where those farmers in California
Speaker 4: were saying, look, I pay higher than anybody around. I
Speaker 4: can pay twenty six dollars an hour. No American citizens
Speaker 4: going to do this work. Get up early and come
Speaker 4: out here and work in the field.
Speaker 2: How can that? I just I don't know, how can.
Speaker 4: That could be true? Other than the welfare state. There's
Speaker 4: another way to feed yourself.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, as a politician, so I've got the corporate
Speaker 1: fathers and mothers hanging down my door saying, hey, I
Speaker 1: got to have workers. All right, You've built a welfare
Speaker 1: state where people don't have to work, and so many
Speaker 1: of them don't. They're on drugs, and you, you know,
Speaker 1: enable them to do that. As we were discussing earlier, well,
Speaker 1: as a politician, am I going to tell my voters,
Speaker 1: my potential voters, you know what the problem is. You're
Speaker 1: a lazy bump. You got to get off your ass
Speaker 1: and get a job.
Speaker 4: Or more specifically, maybe your kids are lazy. You raise
Speaker 4: the lazy kids.
Speaker 2: Right, right?
Speaker 1: Or do you with a wink and a nod open
Speaker 1: the back door and let the country get flooded with
Speaker 1: the foreigners who may or may not give a crap
Speaker 1: about this country, may or may.
Speaker 2: Not be gang members. That I can go on and on,
Speaker 2: but you get the point. The border is secure.
Speaker 1: Well, politicians are always going to do that which is easiest.
Speaker 4: Before I change the topic slightly, I would say a
Speaker 4: society that has to import people because their citizens feel
Speaker 4: like hard work is not for them is doomed by
Speaker 4: definition doomed, but slightly different topic similar though we're doing
Speaker 4: the weave, we're doing the Trump weave where we go
Speaker 4: from one thing to another, but they all kind of
Speaker 4: fit into a mosaic of some do you want to
Speaker 4: bring up Hannibal Lecter or shall I Have you seen
Speaker 4: the TV ad? It looks like it's an apartment or
Speaker 4: a home, but kind a nice.
Speaker 2: Looking, clean place.
Speaker 4: You got a dad looking sitting there, looking like perfectly
Speaker 4: capable dad. He's sitting there with the sun at dinner,
Speaker 4: and Dad's got nothing in front of him at the
Speaker 4: dinner table, and the kid's eating and the kid says, Dad,
Speaker 4: aren't you gonna eat something? He says, oh no, no,
Speaker 4: I eat a big lunch. So I don't need anything.
Speaker 4: It's parents are going hungry to make sure their kids
Speaker 4: get Where is that happening anywhere in the freaking United States?
Speaker 4: Where you got what appears to be like a middle
Speaker 4: class dad skipping dinners, who we can kid eat?
Speaker 2: His kid can eat? Is that happening? Am I wrong?
Speaker 2: Maybe I'm wrong and I'm cold hearted.
Speaker 4: But I don't think that's happening anywhere in the country,
Speaker 4: let alone such a.
Speaker 5: Crisis we have to run ads for it.
Speaker 1: I know it's an excuse for more, you know, government
Speaker 1: intervention and redistribution of income and funding for various programs
Speaker 1: and subsidies for farmers. The Department of Agricultures is completely
Speaker 1: messed up the communists?
Speaker 5: Who does that work on? Who doesn't see that and thinks?
Speaker 4: Whoa Where is there a middle class dad somewhere who's
Speaker 4: going without foods?
Speaker 1: Who is kin can eat? Where is that happening? Can't
Speaker 1: scrape up a baloney sandwich?
Speaker 4: They're that destitute with the seventy five different programs, including
Speaker 4: your kid's school, that would be more than happy to
Speaker 4: give you more food than you could eat.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just it drives me nuts.
Speaker 1: Yeah, soft heads, So we've got the highest number.
Speaker 4: I got to look that up to make sure I'm
Speaker 4: getting it right, but I know the percentages thing.
Speaker 2: Raw number is different.
Speaker 4: But we got more people of working age and not
Speaker 4: working men not working than we had during the Great Depression.
Speaker 4: And we're bringing in people from another country because those people,
Speaker 4: the Americans, won't do the job running anty unholy to
Speaker 4: even ask them to. But they're not doing a job,
Speaker 4: and they're surviving somehow, right, they're living, and they're in
Speaker 4: living shelter getting food while we run PSA's probably paid
Speaker 4: for by the tax fur and almost certainly paid for
Speaker 4: by the taxpayer to try to convince people that dads
Speaker 4: are skipping meals, parents are skipping meals so their kids
Speaker 4: don't go hungry.
Speaker 2: Oh what.
Speaker 1: Try and enough change for a hot pocket? There, Pop,
Speaker 1: you're sitting there literally chewing on the air. You got nothing.
Speaker 1: You got no boloney sandwich, you got no hot dog,
Speaker 1: you got nothing.
Speaker 4: I'm not mocking hunger. I'm mocking the idea that this
Speaker 4: is happening anywhere. Or do you think I'm stupid enough
Speaker 4: to fall for that, aren't you?
Speaker 1: Why do you think they keep redefining what we're supposed
Speaker 1: to be concerned about from hunger to poverty, to being
Speaker 1: less than a living wage to food insecurity.
Speaker 5: By the way, dad's kind of fat in that ad.
Speaker 5: That doesn't help. Can we get an actor that's not
Speaker 5: so heavy? This is really not working for the narrative.
Speaker 2: Maybe he should skip a meal?
Speaker 1: Yeah right, Michael, Oh, geez wow, right wing poverty stricken,
Speaker 1: right wing MAGA talk show hosts mock hunger and radio
Speaker 1: show I'll be on enjoy read tonight.
Speaker 2: I hope we will finish strong. Next? Is that Elsa?
Speaker 2: I don't know why I'm so amused by that? What
Speaker 2: was that? Early sixties?
Speaker 1: Probably style of background singers got the.
Speaker 2: Choir echoing every line. Quinn, So I should read this text?
Speaker 2: I guess to be fair.
Speaker 4: First of all, we got a whole bunch of texts
Speaker 4: saying the dad in that p s A for hunger
Speaker 4: is fat?
Speaker 5: Why did they choose a fat guy to play the
Speaker 5: back is kind of odd?
Speaker 1: But the others got slow metaboles, a little bit of
Speaker 1: man my metabolism right, lim Malone.
Speaker 5: And I can't verify the authenticity of any text.
Speaker 4: Maybe I should start doing that. I'll do that with
Speaker 4: my free time. Figure out the number. I'll call them
Speaker 4: at home, and I'll get a noted republic. Notary republic.
Speaker 4: We got this text single dad here. I work sixty
Speaker 4: to seventy hours a week, income around fifty to sixty thousand.
Speaker 4: I've lost forty pounds from my healthy weight because I
Speaker 4: can't afford to get both my son and I food.
Speaker 4: I agree that AD is dumb, but many of us
Speaker 4: out here are giving most of our income to mom
Speaker 4: and still paying the full load for the kid. I
Speaker 4: could do it two years ago, but now I have
Speaker 4: to forego many many meals. That sounds like more like
Speaker 4: a divorce law problem than a maybe anything else.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I would say, yeah, yeah, And I'm sorry
Speaker 2: to hear that. Oh awful. It's off on several different levels.
Speaker 4: Don't you qualify for some of the many many programs
Speaker 4: we have out there? Or maybe you don't want to
Speaker 4: use them, or maybe they're too complicated to use.
Speaker 2: I don't know that.
Speaker 1: Either could be here They look at his gross income
Speaker 1: and ignore the fact that the ex gets.
Speaker 2: Half of it or whatever it is. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I do not know, sir, But that's that's terrible. Anyway,
Speaker 1: Where were we moving along?
Speaker 4: I have the choice today speaking of eating. Yes, between
Speaker 4: eating pie for the fifth day in a row or
Speaker 4: at some point throwing pie out.
Speaker 2: I guess.
Speaker 1: They ought to keep right freeze. Oh, I see what
Speaker 1: you're saying. Either eat it, you know, next days in
Speaker 1: a row.
Speaker 2: Or throw them out.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you can't throw out a homemade pie.
Speaker 2: Well you've made the decision, then, Michael, you just have
Speaker 2: to live with it. I'd switched to the cheesecake. That's
Speaker 2: not an answer. Pivot to the cheesecake. I'm pivoting kind
Speaker 2: of slowly after eating all the pie.
Speaker 4: I'll tell you what you eat pie every single day,
Speaker 4: you you will be beyond regular.
Speaker 1: Wow. Thank you for that complete change of time topic.
Speaker 2: Please.
Speaker 1: How young a woman could seventy two year old Bill
Speaker 1: Belichick be with that? It not be creepy. It's already
Speaker 1: super weird. I mean, I mean, there's seventy two.
Speaker 2: She's twenty eight. His former cheerleader girlfriend. Yeah.
Speaker 4: So he was a coach of the New England Patriots
Speaker 4: through all those Tom Brady Championships. He gets divorced, he
Speaker 4: starts dating one of the cheerleaders on the team when
Speaker 4: she was twenty four.
Speaker 2: I think someone again.
Speaker 5: Okay, he's almost fifty years older than her.
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know what the cutoff is for
Speaker 4: where it goes from just an age gap to you
Speaker 4: know that not everybody agrees with to clearly crazy. But
Speaker 4: this is on the other side of clearly crazy, isn't
Speaker 4: it fifty years? I mean she has to have some
Speaker 4: sort of dad issue.
Speaker 5: She has to she has to stick here, or she's
Speaker 5: a gold digger.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, I mean because he's he is a
Speaker 1: handsome seventy two year old. He's very successful and extremely bright.
Speaker 1: I mean he's he's a great catch. Almost fifty years
Speaker 1: is a long time. Yeah, yeah, I get it from his.
Speaker 2: Oh i'd feel creepy.
Speaker 4: I would feel super creepy all the time, especially you're
Speaker 4: hanging out with their friends and stuff.
Speaker 2: Oh, that'd be a rough, stupid conscience. Shut up, I'm strong.
Speaker 2: It's us. I'm strong. You're ready and.
Speaker 4: Strong. I guess it's hard for me to picture because
Speaker 4: for me to go fifty years, I have to get
Speaker 4: into like grade school. So okay, yeah, wow, So I
Speaker 4: don't I can't picture what that's like.
Speaker 5: He ask me again when I'm seventy five.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well they'll do. Here's your host final.
Speaker 1: Hey, let's get a final thought from everybody on the
Speaker 1: coon to wrap things up to the day.
Speaker 2: There he is pressing the buttons. Mike Langelow, Michael, what's
Speaker 2: your final thought?
Speaker 7: Keep seeing all these wonderful Christmas light displays in my neighborhood,
Speaker 7: So I try to put some lights up.
Speaker 1: They came out all crooked, and one of the strands
Speaker 1: just went out, So I got to redo the.
Speaker 2: Whole thing way to make Jesus cry. Christmas. Light's harder
Speaker 2: and more dangerous than it looks. Katie Green a final
Speaker 2: thought for us.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I should have listened to you yesterday, Joe, because
Speaker 5: I went to the gym, and I promise you, if
Speaker 5: I had just stayed on my couch, I would not
Speaker 5: be as sore as I am today.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's painful. Your body is talking to you. Stay
Speaker 1: on the couch. Jack final thought.
Speaker 4: Well, I'll do approach him an I get in almost
Speaker 4: every single day, missed maybe one day in the last
Speaker 4: two months, me and Henry, and we feel better than
Speaker 4: we've ever felt. And the momentum, it's all about the momentum.
Speaker 4: Once you go get the momentum going, it's so much
Speaker 4: easier to keep it going as opposed to the inertia
Speaker 4: of not doing it, which seems like your feet are
Speaker 4: made of lead, and the idea of working out sounds horrible.
Speaker 2: Speak of not doing things.
Speaker 1: My final thought is this, figure out what those freaking
Speaker 1: drones are up to.
Speaker 2: You have forty eight hours.
Speaker 1: We're being invaded or surveilled or attacked or something.
Speaker 2: Figure it out.
Speaker 4: No kidding, Armstrong and Getty wrapick. I'm aut of the

Speaker 1: of undercover work, but there's no freaking burger.
