WEBVTT - The A&G Replay Thursday Hour Four 0:00:10.039 --> 0:00:14.360 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:14.400 --> 0:00:19.320 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong's Joe, Katty arm Strong. 0:00:19.000 --> 0:00:26.560 And Jetty and He Armstrong and Getty Strong. I don't 0:00:26.560 --> 0:00:28.480 want to be breaking up family. So the only way 0:00:28.520 --> 0:00:28.920 you don't. 0:00:28.760 --> 0:00:30.840 Break up the family is you keep them together, and 0:00:30.880 --> 0:00:31.800 you have to send them. 0:00:31.640 --> 0:00:32.760 All back there you go. 0:00:33.040 --> 0:00:36.600 Trump, in response to the inevitable question, you say you 0:00:36.640 --> 0:00:39.400 wanted to poor people, Are you going to separate families? 0:00:39.680 --> 0:00:44.040 Always asked from the point of view of it being bad, 0:00:44.159 --> 0:00:48.080 even though he ran on that got elected and sixty 0:00:48.120 --> 0:00:52.280 percent of people approve of it. So I just drives 0:00:52.320 --> 0:00:55.200 me nuts. 0:00:55.920 --> 0:00:58.600 Whenever we talk about this, I'm reminded of my youthful 0:00:58.720 --> 0:01:03.480 idea of living in Germany to work and study and 0:01:03.480 --> 0:01:05.720 stuff like that. Because I studied German, thought that might 0:01:05.760 --> 0:01:09.440 be interesting. And it became clear that there were severe 0:01:09.480 --> 0:01:12.240 limitations in getting into the country than staying in there 0:01:12.280 --> 0:01:14.520 and working was very, very difficult. You had to get 0:01:14.520 --> 0:01:16.959 permits and stuff like that, so I and I accepted that. 0:01:17.000 --> 0:01:19.240 I thought, well, that's unfortunate, but it is what it is, 0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:22.119 the idea that I would go to Germany sneak in 0:01:22.400 --> 0:01:24.600 and then when they say, hey, you don't have authorization 0:01:24.640 --> 0:01:26.399 to be here, and you certainly don't have authorization to 0:01:26.440 --> 0:01:29.720 work me saying how are you gonna separate me and 0:01:29.840 --> 0:01:32.920 my family? And what would the Germans say to that, Well, 0:01:32.959 --> 0:01:35.120 they'd say it in German, so you wouldn't understand it, folks. 0:01:35.120 --> 0:01:37.280 But what it would mean essentially is be quiet and 0:01:37.319 --> 0:01:38.040 get back in line. 0:01:39.640 --> 0:01:40.680 It's not our problem. 0:01:41.600 --> 0:01:43.600 We got a bunch of clips, but I thought maybe 0:01:43.640 --> 0:01:45.400 the most important one that should have gotten a lot 0:01:45.440 --> 0:01:49.120 of attention but didn't from Trump was when he was 0:01:49.160 --> 0:01:52.000 asked about do you ran on retribution? And he said, 0:01:52.440 --> 0:01:54.840 I'm really looking to make our country successful. I'm not 0:01:54.880 --> 0:01:56.640 looking to go back into the past. I'm looking to 0:01:56.640 --> 0:02:00.840 make our country successful. Retribution will be through success. Okay, 0:02:00.880 --> 0:02:04.240 there's your hitler for you. There's your hitler, there's your 0:02:04.360 --> 0:02:06.120 there will never be another election again. 0:02:07.280 --> 0:02:09.799 Well, and he has made that point repeatedly. 0:02:10.400 --> 0:02:14.280 The retribution is how successful we're going to be. 0:02:14.760 --> 0:02:17.679 That lays it to rest. Well, it's such a good 0:02:17.720 --> 0:02:18.840 clickbaiting narrative. 0:02:18.880 --> 0:02:21.600 The lion liars in the media and Kristen Welker is 0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:23.320 their unholy princess. 0:02:23.760 --> 0:02:27.600 They just can't leave that to the narrative alone. Stop it. 0:02:27.639 --> 0:02:32.360 There are real problems with Trump quld making stuff up right. Yeah, 0:02:32.440 --> 0:02:34.640 all right, So back to Trump and Welker. A lot 0:02:34.680 --> 0:02:37.440 of people have enjoyed this clip. It's thirty seven, Michael. 0:02:37.480 --> 0:02:39.800 They are discussing January sixth. 0:02:39.960 --> 0:02:40.560 In general. 0:02:40.720 --> 0:02:43.080 Officials say that the order never came in for the 0:02:43.160 --> 0:02:45.160 National Arts on January sixth. 0:02:45.240 --> 0:02:47.639 Let me ask you this about j six Josh. 0:02:47.600 --> 0:02:50.720 Wrote in a statement that he has destroyed all evidence. 0:02:50.880 --> 0:02:53.040 Let me ask you this about January sixth. 0:02:53.080 --> 0:02:55.040 I wish you could be a if you you know, 0:02:55.720 --> 0:02:59.840 you have such potential, if you could be just just 0:03:00.240 --> 0:03:05.000 non biased. You hurt yourself so badly. I'm telling you 0:03:05.720 --> 0:03:08.639 they deleted and destroyed all the evidence. Everyone knows it, 0:03:09.360 --> 0:03:11.480 and you sluff it off like it doesn't mean anything. 0:03:11.520 --> 0:03:13.040 No, I did it, deny it. 0:03:13.080 --> 0:03:13.800 That's all I'm saying. 0:03:13.800 --> 0:03:16.880 Listen, if I did it, you would be standing up 0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:19.120 in that chairs shouting at me, and you know what 0:03:19.160 --> 0:03:21.600 I do, I'd say, you got me. 0:03:22.480 --> 0:03:26.359 My main takeaway with that is, Okay, you're gonna ask 0:03:26.440 --> 0:03:29.120 him about January sixth again and try to get him 0:03:29.120 --> 0:03:32.000 to admit to something or whatever. Do you I assume, 0:03:32.120 --> 0:03:34.400 Kristin Walker, you don't like Trump and don't want him 0:03:34.400 --> 0:03:35.960 to have power and be elected. 0:03:35.800 --> 0:03:38.280 You're helping him. You're helping him. 0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:43.120 Yes, the majority of people are like whatever, move on 0:03:43.200 --> 0:03:47.360 to something else. I know a lot of super hardcore 0:03:47.400 --> 0:03:49.920 Trumpeters would love to talk about January sixth for the 0:03:49.920 --> 0:03:50.680 rest of their lives. 0:03:50.680 --> 0:03:52.480 But that's not where most of America is. 0:03:53.160 --> 0:03:55.920 Well, no, America saw it, and they had a choice 0:03:55.920 --> 0:03:59.920 between Trump and then Biden and then Harris and saying 0:04:00.080 --> 0:04:03.960 goodness said, we're not electing either one of them. So, yeah, 0:04:04.000 --> 0:04:06.960 he brings with him that baggage. But let's let's look 0:04:07.000 --> 0:04:10.880 to that. What are we accomplishing by relitigating it at 0:04:10.880 --> 0:04:13.560 this point? And Jack and I were both harshly critical 0:04:13.600 --> 0:04:16.039 of Trump then, and I have not changed my opinion 0:04:16.080 --> 0:04:18.760 of his activities on the day one ioda. 0:04:19.240 --> 0:04:20.280 I still condemn it. 0:04:20.360 --> 0:04:22.840 And yet here we are, excuse me, in the year 0:04:22.880 --> 0:04:24.600 twenty twenty four, with a hell of a lot on 0:04:24.600 --> 0:04:24.960 her plate. 0:04:25.040 --> 0:04:26.520 Let's get on it. 0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:30.520 So speing which Christin Welker, who again, I should have 0:04:30.600 --> 0:04:33.280 written out all of my various insulting adjectives I'd had 0:04:33.320 --> 0:04:35.880 in my head to use for her, because I find 0:04:35.960 --> 0:04:41.840 her obnoxious, smugly, one sided, and snotty. 0:04:42.480 --> 0:04:46.479 Oh just not a good person anyway. Ah, she brought 0:04:46.560 --> 0:04:47.040 up the. 0:04:46.920 --> 0:04:50.400 Federal minimum wage and clip thirty nine B. 0:04:50.800 --> 0:04:52.279 I don't know if you remember this, but during the 0:04:52.320 --> 0:04:54.760 debate in twenty twenty, I asked you if you would 0:04:54.800 --> 0:04:57.040 raise the minimum wage. You said you would consider it. 0:04:57.560 --> 0:04:59.640 And so my question for you is now that you 0:04:59.680 --> 0:05:03.679 are going back to the White House for these nineteen 0:05:03.760 --> 0:05:06.679 states that voted for you, are you going to raise 0:05:06.720 --> 0:05:07.480 the effects. 0:05:07.120 --> 0:05:09.240 It's a very low number. I will agree, it's a 0:05:09.279 --> 0:05:11.360 very low number. Let me give you the downside though. 0:05:11.760 --> 0:05:14.119 In California they raise it up to a very high number, 0:05:14.720 --> 0:05:17.280 and your restaurants are going out of business all over 0:05:17.320 --> 0:05:21.200 the place. The population is shrinking. It's had a very 0:05:21.240 --> 0:05:24.039 negative impact. But there is a level at which you 0:05:24.040 --> 0:05:26.200 could do it. Absolutely what is that level? Do you? 0:05:26.320 --> 0:05:28.480 I don't know. I mean, I really don't know. I 0:05:28.480 --> 0:05:31.320 can say this, you have a lot of businesses that 0:05:31.360 --> 0:05:34.640 are open and thriving because of the lower minimum wage. 0:05:35.040 --> 0:05:37.200 If you raise it too much, and you understand this, 0:05:37.360 --> 0:05:41.279 if California went crazy, they went crazy, and people the 0:05:41.360 --> 0:05:44.120 restaurants are closing, all of them, many more people are hurt. 0:05:44.720 --> 0:05:48.440 So I hear you saying similarly to sort of what 0:05:48.480 --> 0:05:51.200 you said in twenty twenty, will you consider. 0:05:50.839 --> 0:05:52.160 This something you're going to look at it. 0:05:52.200 --> 0:05:54.279 I'd want to speak to the governors. And the other 0:05:54.279 --> 0:05:57.720 thing that's very complicated about minimum wages is places are 0:05:57.800 --> 0:06:02.040 so different. Mississippi and al and great places are very 0:06:02.120 --> 0:06:05.000 different than New York or California. I mean in terms 0:06:05.080 --> 0:06:07.960 of the cost of living and other things. So it'd 0:06:08.000 --> 0:06:09.560 be nice to have just a minimum wage for the 0:06:09.600 --> 0:06:12.920 whole country, but it wouldn't work because you have places 0:06:12.960 --> 0:06:16.120 where it's very inexpensive to live, where a minimum wage, 0:06:16.160 --> 0:06:20.200 which is eight or nine dollars might be, you know, 0:06:20.320 --> 0:06:24.480 might have very much, very little effect because the cost 0:06:24.680 --> 0:06:27.760 of living in certain places is really low. 0:06:28.440 --> 0:06:30.599 This makes me so tired, I know. 0:06:30.800 --> 0:06:32.560 So, first of all, he's the leader of what is 0:06:32.600 --> 0:06:36.600 now the working Class Party, and raising the minimum wage polls. 0:06:36.640 --> 0:06:40.279 Well, it's unfortunate. I think with a. 0:06:39.480 --> 0:06:41.920 Five minutes of explanation, you could explain to a lot 0:06:41.920 --> 0:06:43.880 of people why it's not actually good for you to 0:06:43.960 --> 0:06:47.200 raise the minimum wage. But Trump realizes, you know, the 0:06:47.640 --> 0:06:50.640 party that he's leading. But even when he states to 0:06:50.680 --> 0:06:52.080 her there's a downside. 0:06:51.640 --> 0:06:52.560 To raising the min wage. 0:06:52.600 --> 0:06:55.359 She just completely blows that off and goes with the 0:06:55.400 --> 0:06:58.799 next question of obviously it would be good for everyone 0:06:58.839 --> 0:07:00.719 to raise the minimum wage. I feel like I should 0:07:00.720 --> 0:07:04.960 inject here from one of your Thomas swell so Well 0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:09.679 quotes on Twitter about the minimum wage, the minimum wage 0:07:09.760 --> 0:07:13.240 law is very cleverly misnamed. The real minimum wage is zero, 0:07:13.760 --> 0:07:16.239 and that is what many inexperienced and low skilled people 0:07:16.280 --> 0:07:19.040 receive as a result of legislation that makes it illegal 0:07:19.280 --> 0:07:21.600 to pay them what they're currently worth to an employer. 0:07:22.280 --> 0:07:26.080 Well said, very succinctly said Trump frustrates me always because 0:07:26.080 --> 0:07:29.520 he does just a half assed job of of explaining 0:07:30.520 --> 0:07:32.160 some of the principles that I hold dear. 0:07:32.280 --> 0:07:34.280 But you know, he is what he is. But the 0:07:34.480 --> 0:07:36.280 federal minimum wage. 0:07:36.120 --> 0:07:41.320 Is to call it irrelevant is to exaggerate how relevant 0:07:41.360 --> 0:07:45.280 it is. It is a complete non factor in anyone's life. 0:07:45.320 --> 0:07:48.520 It's a silly discussion. If states want minimum wages, they 0:07:48.520 --> 0:07:52.080 should pass them. There is, you know, with the exception 0:07:52.120 --> 0:07:55.880 of a couple like enslaved immigrants who are probably trying 0:07:55.920 --> 0:07:58.160 to escape right now, and I wish them well, there 0:07:58.200 --> 0:08:02.800 is nobody in America who is exchanging their labor for 0:08:02.960 --> 0:08:06.560 a wage that they are unwilling to exchange their labor 0:08:06.720 --> 0:08:12.560 for nobody. If you don't want to do a job 0:08:12.600 --> 0:08:15.119 at a particular wage, you will not take that job. 0:08:16.200 --> 0:08:19.480 The idea that the government can, somehow, especially the federal government, 0:08:19.520 --> 0:08:22.920 prop up some sort of minimum it's just it ignores 0:08:23.000 --> 0:08:26.000 everything that is the most fundamental about economics. It's just silly. 0:08:26.040 --> 0:08:29.800 It's a silly question. I mean it's it's pretty silly 0:08:29.840 --> 0:08:33.480 on the state level. On the federal level, it's completely ridiculous. 0:08:34.480 --> 0:08:37.240 Sat You're gonna have a minimum wage for Coonhuller, Kentucky. 0:08:37.600 --> 0:08:39.840 And what is that gonna do for the people in Seattle, 0:08:40.000 --> 0:08:45.520 for instance, or La Nothing? It's just dopey kristin Ohy. 0:08:47.920 --> 0:08:49.920 What's the main business in Coonhuller? 0:08:52.000 --> 0:08:59.960 Squirrel skinning, mostly squirrel peltsol, squirrel coats, squirrel hats. 0:09:00.720 --> 0:09:07.520 I'm making sell I make and sell frog gigging sticks. Oh, 0:09:08.000 --> 0:09:11.520 you're the jack of Jack's froggy. Yes, jack sticks are 0:09:11.840 --> 0:09:15.160 very pointy. My daddy used to tell me, boy, you 0:09:15.160 --> 0:09:17.880 go frog gigg and son. You don't have jack sticks, 0:09:17.880 --> 0:09:20.800 you might as well have popstickle stick. 0:09:21.240 --> 0:09:21.480 Eh. 0:09:21.760 --> 0:09:27.400 Anyway, I assume you stab the frogs or something. Let's 0:09:27.480 --> 0:09:30.400 see which what else do we want to play? I 0:09:30.520 --> 0:09:32.960 like where he calls her hostile and nasty. Yeah, let's 0:09:32.960 --> 0:09:33.920 play for you, Michael. 0:09:34.040 --> 0:09:36.680 The press has to straightened himself out, because honestly, it's 0:09:36.679 --> 0:09:39.800 lost all credibility based on the press. I should have 0:09:39.800 --> 0:09:43.720 gotten no votes, none, and yet I got the highest 0:09:43.800 --> 0:09:46.360 number ever. And the reason is because I'm able to 0:09:46.360 --> 0:09:48.240 go on a show even like yours, even though you're 0:09:48.320 --> 0:09:50.960 very hostile, I'm able to go on a show like yours. 0:09:51.000 --> 0:09:51.600 No you are. 0:09:51.760 --> 0:09:53.640 Hopefully you thought it was a fair interview. We covered 0:09:53.640 --> 0:09:55.559 a lot of policy grounds, which fair only in. 0:09:55.520 --> 0:09:57.840 That you allowed me to say what I said. But 0:09:57.880 --> 0:10:00.520 you know, the answers the questions are you know, asty. 0:10:00.880 --> 0:10:02.040 But look that's true. 0:10:02.040 --> 0:10:04.160 You know, you would think the press would like to 0:10:04.160 --> 0:10:07.440 see strongboarders, great education, are powerful military. So we have 0:10:07.480 --> 0:10:10.800 a country left and all these different things, and somehow 0:10:10.840 --> 0:10:11.760 they don't want to see that. 0:10:13.800 --> 0:10:16.400 As always, I wish I could, you know, be the 0:10:16.440 --> 0:10:18.480 fly or not the fly on the wall, but the 0:10:18.559 --> 0:10:21.040 voice in Trump's here and have him say, like you've 0:10:21.040 --> 0:10:25.240 pointed out, Jack many times, you ask every question from 0:10:25.240 --> 0:10:28.000 the perspective of liberal Americans. 0:10:28.920 --> 0:10:31.520 More than half the country is conservative. 0:10:31.800 --> 0:10:35.040 Ask a question from their perspective ones you might like it. 0:10:35.559 --> 0:10:39.760 Yeah, And on some specific issues like the deportation, there's 0:10:39.840 --> 0:10:42.440 polling that shows the vast majority it's in ease. It's 0:10:42.480 --> 0:10:47.000 a sixty to forty win for deporting illegals, right, So 0:10:47.040 --> 0:10:49.400 why why ask it from the point of view of the. 0:10:49.360 --> 0:10:53.640 Forty speaking of which she asked every single one of 0:10:53.640 --> 0:10:57.680 her immigration questions from the perspective of AOC pretending to 0:10:57.840 --> 0:11:03.120 cry in a parking lot mile away. The phoniness thirty one. 0:11:03.280 --> 0:11:06.400 He's talking about, you know, supporting people and you know 0:11:06.520 --> 0:11:07.560 both ends of the equator. 0:11:07.840 --> 0:11:10.040 You know, the people that have been treated very unfairly 0:11:10.080 --> 0:11:11.960 are the people that have been online for ten years 0:11:11.960 --> 0:11:14.240 to come into the country. And we're going to make 0:11:14.240 --> 0:11:16.400 it very easy for people to come in in terms 0:11:16.440 --> 0:11:18.880 of they have to pass the test. They have to 0:11:18.920 --> 0:11:20.920 be able to tell you what the statue of liberty is. 0:11:21.000 --> 0:11:23.440 They have to tell you a little bit about our country. 0:11:23.480 --> 0:11:25.319 They have to love our country. They can't come out 0:11:25.320 --> 0:11:27.640 of prisons. We don't want people that are in for murder. 0:11:28.200 --> 0:11:30.400 We have to get the criminals out of our country. 0:11:30.760 --> 0:11:31.760 And we got to do it. 0:11:32.280 --> 0:11:34.000 Yeah, we're going to let the good people in, the 0:11:34.040 --> 0:11:35.920 smart people who we can use, and we're going to 0:11:35.960 --> 0:11:36.920 get rid of the murderers. 0:11:37.400 --> 0:11:40.760 But what about separating families? What the hell? 0:11:42.120 --> 0:11:50.800 Armstrong and see Armstrong and Getty show. 0:11:56.400 --> 0:11:57.800 We got this text out of nowhere. 0:11:57.840 --> 0:12:01.120 Do you know why hippies were petruli oil so blind 0:12:01.120 --> 0:12:02.280 people can hate them too? 0:12:05.920 --> 0:12:11.079 Wow, that's that's beautiful. Here's your freedom loving quote of 0:12:11.120 --> 0:12:11.400 the day. 0:12:12.280 --> 0:12:16.640 One of our beloved listeners sent this to us next 0:12:16.679 --> 0:12:21.960 to a big picture of Captain America, and it was 0:12:22.080 --> 0:12:24.600 Captain America saying this, And I understand this is a 0:12:24.640 --> 0:12:27.079 speech he gives to buck up Spider Man at one 0:12:27.080 --> 0:12:30.400 point during the movies, And I thought, boy, this is 0:12:30.440 --> 0:12:33.760 really eloquent for one of your one of your comic 0:12:33.760 --> 0:12:37.120 book movies. Did the script write or write write this? 0:12:37.200 --> 0:12:39.120 And I did a little digging and no, it's actually 0:12:39.400 --> 0:12:43.400 a very very close paraphrase of something Mark Twain said. Interesting, 0:12:43.760 --> 0:12:45.760 but I liked it so much I posted it up 0:12:45.760 --> 0:12:47.520 in the studio so I could glance at it now. 0:12:47.559 --> 0:12:50.040 And again, I will give you the Twain version, which 0:12:50.080 --> 0:12:51.880 only is only subtly. 0:12:51.559 --> 0:12:54.800 Different as opposed to Captain America. Okay, it does. It 0:12:54.840 --> 0:12:56.520 does lend him a little more gravitas. 0:12:57.840 --> 0:13:00.960 Well, unless you're fighting off a ma then I'd rather 0:13:01.000 --> 0:13:03.920 have a captain on my side than the scribe. Honestly 0:13:04.000 --> 0:13:09.600 love Captain America kicks ass, Twain incredibly eloquent. Captain America 0:13:09.640 --> 0:13:11.640 definitely stronger on the whoop ass front. 0:13:11.760 --> 0:13:14.520 If you're fighting the Winter Soldier, you want Captain America, 0:13:14.600 --> 0:13:15.319 not Mark Twain. 0:13:15.760 --> 0:13:17.920 I agree completely. Anyway, here's what Twain said. It's a 0:13:17.920 --> 0:13:19.400 little long, but I love it so much. Maybe we 0:13:19.400 --> 0:13:21.719 could work in a little email later on. Let men 0:13:21.800 --> 0:13:24.439 label you as they may. If you alone, of all 0:13:24.520 --> 0:13:27.480 the nation, decide one way, and that way be the 0:13:27.600 --> 0:13:30.520 right way. By your convictions of the right, You've done 0:13:30.520 --> 0:13:33.080 your duty, by yourself and by your country, holding up 0:13:33.080 --> 0:13:35.080 your head, for you have nothing to be ashamed of. 0:13:35.280 --> 0:13:37.760 It doesn't matter what the press says. It doesn't matter 0:13:37.760 --> 0:13:40.280 what the politicians or the mobs say. It doesn't matter 0:13:40.320 --> 0:13:43.520 if the whole country decides that something wrong is something right. 0:13:43.880 --> 0:13:47.120 Republics are founded on one principle above all else, the 0:13:47.240 --> 0:13:49.600 requirement that we stand up for what we believe in, 0:13:49.840 --> 0:13:51.800 no matter the odds or the consequences. 0:13:51.920 --> 0:13:54.360 When the mob and the press and the whole world 0:13:54.480 --> 0:13:55.280 tell you to move. 0:13:55.720 --> 0:13:58.280 Your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside 0:13:58.280 --> 0:14:00.599 the river of truth and tell the whole world world, no, 0:14:01.120 --> 0:14:07.199 you move. Mark fing Twain, that's two people understand, that's 0:14:07.240 --> 0:14:07.800 his middle name. 0:14:07.960 --> 0:14:13.720 That's really good stuff if it's the right cause or thing. 0:14:14.320 --> 0:14:17.800 Interestingly enough, and maybe I'll explain later why this happened. 0:14:18.400 --> 0:14:22.320 I was listening to a speech last night FBI recordings 0:14:22.320 --> 0:14:25.920 of Jim Jones down Guyana, before he had all those 0:14:25.960 --> 0:14:29.280 people kill themselves, the Jim Jones cult, that whole thing. 0:14:29.840 --> 0:14:32.520 He gave a very similar speech there, as he had 0:14:32.560 --> 0:14:35.480 convinced all those numb nuts that the world was out 0:14:35.520 --> 0:14:37.360 to get them and they were doing the right thing. 0:14:38.080 --> 0:14:41.520 I'm very similar speech. I had no idea you'd heard that. 0:14:41.680 --> 0:14:44.240 I knew in my heart of hearts you would come 0:14:44.320 --> 0:14:46.840 up with some counter argument against that thought. 0:14:46.960 --> 0:14:48.080 I'm not going to know it. 0:14:48.080 --> 0:14:49.800 It just you just have to have you just have 0:14:49.880 --> 0:14:51.960 to just you know, it works when the cause is 0:14:52.080 --> 0:14:59.440 right right. But that's irrelevant an as an observation of society, 0:14:59.480 --> 0:15:05.480 it's one hundred correct as a principle. That some people 0:15:05.600 --> 0:15:08.640 employ it wrongly is irrelevant. 0:15:08.720 --> 0:15:11.520 You're right. I think it's a moral principle. Both are true. 0:15:11.560 --> 0:15:14.680 Isn't that a head scratcher? It is anyway, mailbag. 0:15:15.920 --> 0:15:19.520 Drop usnowl yourmail bag at Armstrong and Getdy dot com. 0:15:19.840 --> 0:15:25.760 Uh oh Madden Honolulu with a really interesting note about 0:15:26.560 --> 0:15:31.200 the Honolulu getaway pad that those Chinese spies who infiltrated 0:15:31.240 --> 0:15:34.920 New York's government pad.

That's a good one. You got 0:16:27.680 --> 0:16:30.560 people there on the corner. This happens driving out to 0:16:30.560 --> 0:16:33.520 the farm. When I go home. Sometimes you got people 0:16:33.560 --> 0:16:36.480 on the corner selling strawberries.

Armstrong and Getty on Demand arm. 0:17:32.560 --> 0:17:44.000 Strong, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty The Armstrong and Getty Show. 0:17:44.240 --> 0:17:46.840 I remember why Tim La Lawyer's name came up yesterday. 0:17:46.880 --> 0:17:49.600 We're talking about that amazing story of that poor guy. 0:17:50.320 --> 0:17:52.640 Gee and his wife are at a Disney property. 0:17:54.480 --> 0:17:58.120 He says that they told the waiter, look, my wife 0:17:58.160 --> 0:18:00.840 has peanut allergy or fruit out or something like that 0:18:00.920 --> 0:18:03.480 really bad, so we can't have anything that's touching nuts 0:18:03.520 --> 0:18:06.200 or whatever. Anyway, she ends up getting some food that's 0:18:06.200 --> 0:18:09.199 got the allergic stuff in it and she dies. She 0:18:09.480 --> 0:18:12.960 actually dies at one of these Disney properties. So he's 0:18:12.960 --> 0:18:15.440 looking into suing. Not for very much money. It was 0:18:15.480 --> 0:18:17.760 a fifty five thousand dollars, so it's not like one 0:18:17.800 --> 0:18:21.840 of those, you know, you only ten million dollar things. 0:18:22.800 --> 0:18:26.320 But anyway, found out that because he had signed up 0:18:26.320 --> 0:18:28.880 for Disney Plus and clicked I agree on the agreement 0:18:28.960 --> 0:18:31.639 thing at ten thirty at night once without reading a 0:18:31.640 --> 0:18:35.959 word of the agreement, he had agreed to no trials 0:18:36.080 --> 0:18:40.000 by jury that go after Disney in any way whatsoever 0:18:40.560 --> 0:18:41.080 I did. 0:18:41.480 --> 0:18:44.560 I agreed to that by watching Disney place. Who knew that? 0:18:44.800 --> 0:18:47.040 And just all these agreements that we all click on 0:18:47.200 --> 0:18:50.440 every single week on something we haven't got the slightest 0:18:50.480 --> 0:18:51.720 idea what's in there that needs. 0:18:51.520 --> 0:18:52.080 To be fixed. 0:18:52.440 --> 0:18:55.080 That's just one of several topics we can't wait to 0:18:55.119 --> 0:18:58.199 discuss with Tim Sanderfer, vice president for Legal Affairs at 0:18:58.240 --> 0:19:03.080 the Goldwater Institute, author of a number of fabulous tomes, including, 0:19:03.119 --> 0:19:05.879 and this will come up in a little while, the 0:19:06.000 --> 0:19:09.159 right to earn a living, which is all about economic freedom. 0:19:09.160 --> 0:19:11.120 Tim, welcome, How are you, sir? I'm just fine. 0:19:11.160 --> 0:19:12.840 Thanks for having me back the course. 0:19:13.000 --> 0:19:15.160 Is there some sort of way we can do away 0:19:15.200 --> 0:19:17.159 with these agreements that we all click on that are 0:19:17.200 --> 0:19:19.200 one hundred pagees long and we'd have to hire a 0:19:19.280 --> 0:19:20.800 lawyer and spend a lot of money to figure out 0:19:20.800 --> 0:19:21.440 what the hell they mean? 0:19:21.760 --> 0:19:24.119 Well, so the legal term for that kind of a 0:19:24.160 --> 0:19:27.120 contract that they call it a contract of adhesion, which 0:19:27.160 --> 0:19:30.159 is when somebody holds out this document says take it 0:19:30.240 --> 0:19:32.320 or leave it. Just if you want the thing, you 0:19:32.400 --> 0:19:34.760 got to agree to it. There's no negotiation, just go 0:19:34.880 --> 0:19:37.960 with it. And judges tend to be pretty skeptical of 0:19:38.040 --> 0:19:42.359 contracts of adhesion because it is a dangerous kind of 0:19:42.359 --> 0:19:44.840 situation where a person might not know what they're getting 0:19:44.840 --> 0:19:47.600 into when they sign the agreement. And so I think 0:19:47.720 --> 0:19:50.080 if you were to try and argue, as Disney is, 0:19:50.200 --> 0:19:53.840 arguing that because you agreed to a completely different service, 0:19:53.960 --> 0:19:56.479 one that had nothing to do with the injury that 0:19:56.520 --> 0:20:00.680 actually occurred, because you agreed to arbitration there where now 0:20:00.720 --> 0:20:03.280 you can't have a trial over here for this other thing, 0:20:03.400 --> 0:20:07.000 I honestly think that's a hard argument to persuade a judge. 0:20:07.040 --> 0:20:09.920 And now, of course it depends on the states. California 0:20:10.000 --> 0:20:14.399 courts are very hostile to arbitration. They really don't like 0:20:14.480 --> 0:20:16.560
