Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe, Ketty Armstrong.
Speaker 2: And Getty and He Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 3: Yep.
Speaker 2: Confer by Trump Press secretary. There will be a press
Speaker 2: conference Putin and Trump side by side talking to the
Speaker 2: media after they discussed tomorrow. Wowser's looking forward to that.
Speaker 4: Crazy to see this drama playing out in front of
Speaker 4: the scenes at least a lot more than we're used to. Yeah, wow,
Speaker 4: wild Well, we'll track it for you and certainly be
Speaker 4: talking about it on Monday as the dust settles. So
Speaker 4: the deep red state of South Carolina is in play.
Speaker 4: According to the Democrats, They've got a good shot at
Speaker 4: becoming governor and perhaps cracking that red wall in the South,
Speaker 4: one of their great hopes. Two time Charleston County Democratic
Speaker 4: Party chairman and current gubernatorial candidate William mcclaud junior popular fellow,
Speaker 4: Let's listen into how his campaign is going to Will you.
Speaker 5: Get charge?
Speaker 3: Hey, Taren Matthew my friends started.
Speaker 2: Okay, so, uh that was sober modulated. I couldn't really
Speaker 2: understand what he was saying.
Speaker 3: What is that?
Speaker 2: What is happening? Here.
Speaker 4: That was the point. He was in the back of
Speaker 4: a cop car, bellowing like a lunatic about something about
Speaker 4: God's grace. But he won't give you any slack. Your
Speaker 4: crimes are against humanity. Then he calms down suddenly and inexplicably,
Speaker 4: in the tradition of drug crazed lunatics everywhere. I think
Speaker 4: it was drugs. And I said, by the way.
Speaker 2: So he's in the back of the police car because
Speaker 2: he's under arrest.
Speaker 4: Yes, he was charged with public disorderly conduct and booked
Speaker 4: into jail because he was going berserk. I guess there's
Speaker 4: thirty five minutes of police footage of the gubernatorial candidate
Speaker 4: as they transported him from the downtown area. Beautiful, historic
Speaker 4: downtown Charleston. If you've never visited, please do. I urge
Speaker 4: you to to the detention center. I believe he calms
Speaker 4: down somewhat in this next clip.
Speaker 3: It doesn't matter, my friend. Trust me, I'm one of
Speaker 3: the most just humans to ever. Okay, tell me your name,
Speaker 3: I'm just you.
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, we tried.
Speaker 3: We've all tried more. Give me Superman. Sounds good. I'm
Speaker 3: Superman John Doe. Now you know what John does. Fine, Okay, John,
Speaker 3: Doe's fine. I don't give him. Just get these shackles
Speaker 3: off of me.
Speaker 2: So, Joe, you got me right, Just get this.
Speaker 3: My name did matter.
Speaker 4: If you keep backing like this, the jails just gonna
Speaker 4: put you in more.
Speaker 3: I don't care worse.
Speaker 2: Okay, good luck you, miss ade.
Speaker 4: Mister McLeod mentions names such as former President Barack Obama,
Speaker 4: Attorney General Alan Wilson of South Carolina, President Donald Trump,
Speaker 4: and other prominent South Carolinians. Of Wilson, I think is
Speaker 4: this part of no? I don't think all right, h
Speaker 4: of Wilson, the Republican who's also running to be South
Speaker 4: Carolina's next governor. McLeod threatens to kick his teeth in
Speaker 4: before rambling on and fing Wilson. I'm daring you right now,
Speaker 4: mother Effor, when you've got all the teeth in your mouth,
Speaker 4: you better be in front of the People's House, which
Speaker 4: my cousin used.
Speaker 2: To have the wheel.
Speaker 4: You better be outside old under press conference tone, the
Speaker 4: effing world ahead. You win until you win. Conversation we
Speaker 4: had u mfor that's hard to argue with. So so
Speaker 4: is this and the only reason if you can't take.
Speaker 5: Your the look I might I might good chase some
Speaker 5: case mother, if you don't, Jay Ditchington.
Speaker 6: I'm talking.
Speaker 4: So I want you to get a second round of
Speaker 4: kicking those teeth in because your father said.
Speaker 2: And never had.
Speaker 4: To dad in all of states to do it the
Speaker 4: people's work.
Speaker 2: I want to do that work for you.
Speaker 3: Why six night.
Speaker 2: Sean.
Speaker 4: He also mentions Nancy amid his rants. It's not immediately
Speaker 4: clear whether he meant gubernatorial candidate US Representative Nancy Mace,
Speaker 4: but he goes on to say he would ca her
Speaker 4: teeth into.
Speaker 2: Well, that's a threat. That's probably not a good thing
Speaker 2: to do. He probably shouldn't threat US senators like that.
Speaker 2: So do we have a sense of how much of
Speaker 2: this is a drug or booze related and how much
Speaker 2: of it is your crackpot, complete crackpot.
Speaker 4: It's not clear from the report.
Speaker 2: Reminds me of somebody I heard say the other day
Speaker 2: that when they used to drink, they whenever I drank,
Speaker 2: I wasn't gonna stop until either cried or fought. That's
Speaker 2: where he was. He's kind of like getting to the
Speaker 2: cry part. He'd gone through the fight part.
Speaker 4: Right. The State Democratic Party has for some reason distanced
Speaker 4: itself from his candidacy quote. After reviewing the transcript of
Speaker 4: the dashcam footage from his recent arrest, this clear mister
Speaker 4: McLeod is navigating profound challenges and should focus on his
Speaker 4: mental and emotional well being instead of a campaign for governor.
Speaker 4: We offer him compassion and pray he finds the support
Speaker 4: he needs. In response to the teeth kicking in threat
Speaker 4: against mister Wilson, one of the candidates, he replied, the
Speaker 4: first Democrat to join the governor's race, that he wants
Speaker 4: to kick my teeth in. I'm going to give him
Speaker 4: the benefit of the doubt and assume he means in
Speaker 4: a general election, not a street fight. My plan for
Speaker 4: bold conservative leadership is spreading, and my record of defending Trump,
Speaker 4: parental rights and the rule of law is put a
Speaker 4: target on my back. But I'm not slowing down and
Speaker 4: I'm not done fighting for South Carolina families. Oh my golly,
Speaker 4: it's got an interesting speaking styl.
Speaker 2: Does he air like it's kind of like howardly?
Speaker 4: Give up a left?
Speaker 2: Right very much, my cowardly lion.
Speaker 4: Oh wasted.
Speaker 2: He only had a heart. The lion needed a heart, right, Uh, courage, courage,
Speaker 2: that's right, obviously, he's got the courage.
Speaker 4: To cook people's teeth in and argue with cops our stupidity.
Speaker 4: Either way, good luck in your future endeavors, sir.
Speaker 2: The tin Man needed a heart, The Scarecrow needed a brain. Yes, sir, okay,
Speaker 2: I'm on it.
Speaker 4: Toto needed you know, a little walkies, a little little
Speaker 4: trip outside there for a minute, Dorothy, Hey, you get
Speaker 4: a dog here. Let's not forget that.
Speaker 2: Uh got a couple of trends we need to ask
Speaker 2: Katie about to figure out if they're actually a trend
Speaker 2: or not.
Speaker 4: There was a trend cracking down on free speech in
Speaker 4: Great Britain.
Speaker 2: Oh I want to hear that. Yikes, God, that's so
Speaker 2: crazy that that the so much of the world is
Speaker 2: going in that direction.
Speaker 4: Yipes in our buddies too. I mean that the countries
Speaker 4: we assumed were a lot like us.
Speaker 6: The Grand Experiment has begun.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it has awesome. So we'll get to the trends
Speaker 2: and the cracking down on free speach in Great Britain.
Speaker 2: All on the way, stay here, Armstrong and on a
Speaker 2: level four disturbance. Now. They said they had him restrained,
Speaker 2: he broke out, and their passengers.
Speaker 7: Holding him down there The Breeze Airways flight was traveling
Speaker 7: from Norfolk, Virginia to Los Angeles. Police say they were
Speaker 7: told the passenger was intoxicated, yelling racial slurs at the
Speaker 7: flight attendants and waving around a skateboard. According to air
Speaker 7: traffic control audio, the passenger was restrained two separate times,
Speaker 7: but broke free both times, The plane then declaring an
Speaker 7: emergency and diverting to Grand Junction, Colorado, where the airline
Speaker 7: says it was met promptly by local law enforcement officers
Speaker 7: who restrained and removed the passenger from the aircraft.
Speaker 2: Nice job of tying him up. Level four disturbance. So
Speaker 2: we don't have any idea if it's a one to
Speaker 2: ten scale or a one to four scale, or of
Speaker 2: one's worse than tens of b We don't have any idea.
Speaker 2: Maybe four is the least and one's the biggest. I
Speaker 2: feel like a guy who's swinging a skateboard which is
Speaker 2: basically like a bat or something like that, and screaming
Speaker 2: like that and being a lunatict is broken out twice
Speaker 2: should be the practically the top level whatever it is,
Speaker 2: I'm guessing it.
Speaker 4: Is, unless you know there's a guy with a gun
Speaker 4: is like five. This is clearly a hijacking. God help
Speaker 4: us all.
Speaker 2: I'm surprised somebody didn't take him down quicker, because I mean,
Speaker 2: if you're swinging a skateboard near my head, I got
Speaker 2: to do something just as a self protective measure. But
Speaker 2: at one point, if you've seen the video, this very
Speaker 2: large gentleman, and I mean he's like NFL big, comes up,
Speaker 2: picks him up like a little kid, and takes him
Speaker 2: back and says sit down. And that was the end
Speaker 2: of it till they landed in Grand Junction and was
Speaker 2: let off the plane. So wow, a large gentleman took
Speaker 2: care of the situation.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 2: I've got some unbelievable breaking news from the New York
Speaker 2: Times that I want to get to. I don't know
Speaker 2: if I'll have time here, but because I wanted to
Speaker 2: mention these two trends, and I ask Katie if she
Speaker 2: knows anything about you never know if a no TikTok
Speaker 2: trend is a big deal or nothing. First, this one
Speaker 2: tired girl as a look that's me every day, the
Speaker 2: tired girl look. Apparently some young starlet I've never heard
Speaker 2: of has popularized looking really tired. So people are putting
Speaker 2: on makeup to make yourself look more pale, and your
Speaker 2: hair's messed up, and you're like, your eyes are readiness.
Speaker 8: They're trying to look like Jenna Ortega Wednesday Adams, because
Speaker 8: the new Wednesday just came out on Netflix.
Speaker 2: The tired girl looks it's supposed to look like you're
Speaker 2: like out at the club's late, but still getting up
Speaker 2: to go to work. And so you got tired.
Speaker 6: Girls cheek okay, knock yourselves out.
Speaker 2: I don't know if that's actually a trend. And then
Speaker 2: this one, because you're in the gym a lot, the
Speaker 2: twelve three point thirty treadmill trend that is burning up
Speaker 2: TikTok right now, Joe, you do a treadmill where you
Speaker 2: put you walk on a twelve incline at a pace
Speaker 2: of three miles an hour for thirty minutes twelve three thirty.
Speaker 2: An expert say it's even better than running for some reason.
Speaker 2: So I don't know, you've never heard of these, But
Speaker 2: I mean I mostly do the elliptical, so I don't know.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I haven't heard of the treadmill trend.
Speaker 2: How about the trend trend? When will the trend trend
Speaker 2: end start at that correct. How How many p doctors
Speaker 2: SUSSI in there? How many people jump on something on
Speaker 2: TikTok before he gets reported in other media as a trend.
Speaker 2: That's what I'd like to know. Here's the three How many.
Speaker 4: Trend How long does a trend trend before it is
Speaker 4: a trend?
Speaker 2: Friend, I'll bet today and today only for like the
Speaker 2: twelve three thirty trend and the tired girl. Look, I
Speaker 2: don't know, it's very popular with young moms us no kidding.
Speaker 2: This is huge if it turns out to be true.
Speaker 2: New study in which you can talk without the ability
Speaker 2: to talk and a computer can pick up on it.
Speaker 2: So this guy who had als, couldn't speak anymore, had
Speaker 2: electrodes implanted in his brain and with the help of AI.
Speaker 2: They'd never been able to do this before. But with
Speaker 2: the help of AI picking up on the different signals
Speaker 2: and being able to process so much data so fast,
Speaker 2: the guy can think words and they come out on
Speaker 2: a computer screen.
Speaker 6: Wow, that could be really dangerous.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're ahead of me on that.
Speaker 4: Well, let's agree on some parameters here.
Speaker 2: But before we get to that, the fact that it
Speaker 2: is where was this about? How successful it's been predicted?
Speaker 2: Almost six The computer accurately predicted almost six thousand different
Speaker 2: words with an accuracy of ninety seven point five percent
Speaker 2: in the first trial of this Wow, and they think
Speaker 2: it could become a big thing. Immediately they got into
Speaker 2: what Katie just brought up, though they don't know how
Speaker 2: they or if they could differentiate between things you're just thinking,
Speaker 2: like that son of a bitch or you wanted to
Speaker 2: say out loud, that son of a bitch.
Speaker 4: God, when's he gonna stop talking? Oh?
Speaker 2: Shoot, sorry, no offense, boy, you've gained weight. I didn't,
Speaker 2: and I didn't want to say that. I was just
Speaker 2: thinking that.
Speaker 4: Stupid machine, But that could I mean, what an incredible
Speaker 4: tool though for folks with all sorts of maladies that
Speaker 4: have made them able to speak as much as I
Speaker 4: was in that sense, or or or have difficulty speaking.
Speaker 4: I'm thinking his stroke victims in particular.
Speaker 2: Unless you're getting all of their unfiltered thoughts that they
Speaker 2: didn't mean to say, because then it's a problem because
Speaker 2: we all know how our mind just runs, and you
Speaker 2: say and think things you don't mean, or things that
Speaker 2: are crazy, or you know, all kinds of stuff, and
Speaker 2: you don't need that coming out on the Joe. I
Speaker 2: was just reading your computer transcript. Why were you contemplating
Speaker 2: robbing a bank and figuring out how you could pull
Speaker 2: it off?
Speaker 4: No, no, no, no no, I was just thinking about it
Speaker 4: as wiling away the afternoon. It sounds like a plot
Speaker 4: to me. It's awfully specific. We're gonna need you to
Speaker 4: come downtown.
Speaker 2: You're planning to do what what? The receptionist when?
Speaker 9: What?
Speaker 4: Well, if she'll have me? So I'm thinking about this
Speaker 4: and the obvious solution, it's a partial solution, is an
Speaker 4: on off button.
Speaker 2: Right that the that the tour, the communicy tour, has
Speaker 2: control over.
Speaker 4: Yes, indeed, I mean, for instance, in every radio studio
Speaker 4: in America they have a cough what's called the cough button.
Speaker 4: I have one next to me right now, and uh
Speaker 4: and here I there, I'm turning on and off my
Speaker 4: cough button. Excellent, excellent demonstration. Thank you, thank you, Michael.
Speaker 4: But here's here's the problem. I'm thinking. Okay, I'm done
Speaker 4: thinking it now. I'm going to say it. Why that's
Speaker 4: a fine idea, dumb ass, Oh, I didn't press the
Speaker 4: button quick enough, because I mean, your thoughts flow so quickly,
Speaker 4: you might, you know, get you'd think, Yeah, I'll just
Speaker 4: I'll turn it on, communicate when I want to turn
Speaker 4: it off.
Speaker 2: But just one word too many? And do you own
Speaker 2: a Bari soap? You smell like a horse? Ah, I said,
Speaker 2: I didn't want that part to be on the computer scene.
Speaker 4: So but you know, obviously it's a hugely forward. You
Speaker 4: could use this machine to read the thoughts of crazy people.
Speaker 2: Ooh wow, like the dog is talking to me. That
Speaker 2: is fascinating.
Speaker 4: Michael is not indulging in our childish hygiene. See, he's
Speaker 4: thinking about, you know, incredibly important ways this could be utilized.
Speaker 2: I've actually done, Michael.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, of course you have to get the at least
Speaker 2: for now, you have to get the electrodes put on
Speaker 2: your brain. So that's probably not a minor procedure. This
Speaker 2: guy volunteered, the guy with als, And of course you
Speaker 2: would if you thought if you couldn't communicate, because he's
Speaker 2: communicating with his family now, his wife and his kids,
Speaker 2: if you couldn't communicate with your family and you thought
Speaker 2: you had a shot at it, yeah, put some electrodes
Speaker 2: on my brain.
Speaker 4: So a brief change of topic, we'll get into the
Speaker 4: crackdown on free speech in Britain. But you know it's
Speaker 4: funny you mentioned breaking news in the New York Times.
Speaker 4: They posted this about an hour ago, and this is
Speaker 4: now crystal clear what's going on. Russia seeks to add
Speaker 4: trade and arms control into Trump Putin talks, trying to
Speaker 4: move the diplomatic focus away from Ukraine in two bilateral issues, trade,
Speaker 4: strategic stability, the Arctic, et cetera. We have so many
Speaker 4: things to talk about, mister president. Let's not restrain ourselves
Speaker 4: to Ukraine.
Speaker 2: Small country, and Trump might say, I hope, he says,
Speaker 2: we'll discuss all that after you read it. A ceasefire,
Speaker 2: So let's just talk sea spire until we figure this out. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but Greenland and the mineral rights. No, no, no, no, we're
Speaker 2: talking about a ceasep, yes or no.
Speaker 4: Willing to import to fifty thousand hot Russian women.
Speaker 2: To us, dah Neet says Trump, standing firm right and
Speaker 2: hopefully not standing near a window. We got more on
Speaker 2: the way, stay here, armstrong and getty here. On his
Speaker 2: meeting with Putin at twenty five percent, he continues to
Speaker 2: answer questions about that he said a bunch of other
Speaker 2: really interesting things just a few minutes ago about the
Speaker 2: big summit tomorrow. We'll get to those next segment.
Speaker 4: Well, I had put it more seventy five percent, but
Speaker 4: he knows more than I do about it. Been sitting
Speaker 4: on this great piece by Glenn Reynolds. He's a professor
Speaker 4: of law at the University of Tennessee, among other things,
Speaker 4: and it includes the concept of preference falsification, which we
Speaker 4: have described many times. I'm not sure that's the term
Speaker 4: you need to use for it, but we'll explain what
Speaker 4: that is in a couple of minutes in a Well,
Speaker 4: the piece in it in Toto is about Britain's illegal
Speaker 4: immigration crisis and how the damn of opinion on that
Speaker 4: is breaking in Britain in spite of the British government's
Speaker 4: efforts to crack down on free speech, which has gone
Speaker 4: so far in Britain, in Canada, in Australia and New
Speaker 4: Zealand are are like closest English speaking cousins have completely
Speaker 4: lost their way on this topic. And Ben Shapiro sat
Speaker 4: down and talked to Liz Trust who you may recall,
Speaker 4: was the Prime Minister of Britain for like a day
Speaker 4: and a half, right something like that.
Speaker 2: Who will last her longer? Her or this head of Lettuce.
Speaker 2: Remember that was the thing with her, right.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, she took the reins at a difficult, difficult time.
Speaker 4: It's an interesting story, but one we don't really have
Speaker 4: time for. But she is still a leading politician. Thinker
Speaker 4: in Great Britain will play some excerpts of the conversation.
Speaker 1: But it was sixteen ninety five that the free press
Speaker 1: was invented in Britain. That was before the United States
Speaker 1: of America was established. We came up with these things
Speaker 1: Magna Carta, the Bill of Rights. I find it utterly
Speaker 1: shameful that those ancient liberties which have promoted so much
Speaker 1: freedom around the world, including I think the Jewel in
Speaker 1: the crown the United States of America, have become it
Speaker 1: completely bastardized in Britain. I mean, imagine people being arrested
Speaker 1: and jailed for a post on.
Speaker 4: X, which is absolutely happening if it causes unrest or
Speaker 4: racial disagreement or disharmony or what have you. Roll on, Liz.
Speaker 1: Literally, somebody was arrested the other day for mocking a
Speaker 1: terrorist who had been bom bombed put as part of
Speaker 1: the page work. For mocking a terrorist, they were arrested
Speaker 1: and this is not policies that any Parliament has passed.
Speaker 1: These are policies that have been come up with by
Speaker 1: so called independent bodies, so they're not legitimate, they don't
Speaker 1: have the authority of the Electra, but they are being
Speaker 1: imposed on the British people. The whole concept of a
Speaker 1: non crime hate incident, which sounds completely allwellian. No politician
Speaker 1: came up with that. That was invented by the College
Speaker 1: of Policing, which is a body that is completely unaccountable of.
Speaker 4: The College of Policing. Yeah, she's talking about the administrative state.
Speaker 4: And this is this has been a pretty hot topic
Speaker 4: in American you know, law in politics. The idea that
Speaker 4: you can appoint a commission and maybe pass a law
Speaker 4: even that gives them the authority to come up with
Speaker 4: such policies and practices as best to execute Congress's vision
Speaker 4: or the Parliament's vision. But the administrative state has gone wild,
Speaker 4: run wild. And so now the Policing College or whatever
Speaker 4: she referred to it as that commission has said, yes, yes,
Speaker 4: to maintain order, we should arrest anyone who says anything
Speaker 4: that could cause racial hatred. Yes, and we will decide
Speaker 4: what that is. Roland lives.
Speaker 1: We now live in a kind of Orwellian state in
Speaker 1: Britain where lots of people are worried about what they say.
Speaker 1: And this is the whole purpose. The whole purpose is
Speaker 1: to cover up what's going on in our country because
Speaker 1: people know there are massive issues with the grooming gangs
Speaker 1: of young girls being of the authorities not being held
Speaker 1: to account for that. They know that our economy is
Speaker 1: in decline. They can see steel works closing down because
Speaker 1: of the environmental policies, they can see businesses not being
Speaker 1: able to start up, and the authorities and the establishment
Speaker 1: don't want people really to know how bad it is,
Speaker 1: and that is why they're going for suppressing, distorting, using
Speaker 1: the mainstream media to try and cover up this stuff.
Speaker 2: Well, I didn't pay much attention to her during her
Speaker 2: thirty days rain as Prime Minister, but I like her
Speaker 2: point of view.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, absolutely, and again her whole her trip as
Speaker 4: Prime minister is complicated and you'd have to get into
Speaker 4: British politics. But anyway, that brings us directly to Glenn Reynolds,
Speaker 4: Professor Law, University of Tennessee's piece and preference falsification, which
Speaker 4: was exactly what lisztrust was talking about in that last
Speaker 4: text or I'm sorry in that last clip. So the
Speaker 4: headline is the dam is breaking on Britain's illegal immigration
Speaker 4: crisis and the results could be ugly. Britain's labor government
Speaker 4: is in trouble. Its program of massive third world immigration
Speaker 4: for place like Pakistan and Somalia is wildly overwhelmingly unpopular.
Speaker 4: But that's not the real problem. The real problem is that,
Speaker 4: despite the best efforts of the Prime Minister Keir Starmer
Speaker 4: and his leftist captive media, Britain's Britain's themselves have discovered
Speaker 4: just how unpopular it is. You might argue that's absurd.
Speaker 4: If mass immigration is unpopular, how can everyone not know it.
Speaker 4: Everyone doesn't know it because the government has been policing
Speaker 4: speech about immigration. Any criticism of open borders, lax enforcement, or,
Speaker 4: worst of all, immigrant crime has been punished as racist
Speaker 4: and hate speech by the Starmer regime. The point of
Speaker 4: this isn't to reduce racism or hate heck, the censorship
Speaker 4: will likely make that worse, but to make it harder
Speaker 4: for people to realize just how many of their fellow
Speaker 4: citizens feel the same way they do. For years, Britain
Speaker 4: has stifled reports of immigrant rape gangs in places like Rotherham,
Speaker 4: and has prosecuted those who have called attention to them,
Speaker 4: even jailing some. We went into this in great detail
Speaker 4: a couple of weeks ago. It's incredibly troubling, and as
Speaker 4: the government gives light sentences to child rapists, it's imprisoning
Speaker 4: moms for tweets on the ground of quote inciting race hatred.
Speaker 4: It's all to construct and maintain something known as preference falsification,
Speaker 4: a move usually practiced by authoritarian regimes. The brick is
Speaker 4: you make citizens pretend that they believe what the government
Speaker 4: says and fake their approval of what it does. You
Speaker 4: promote marches and demonstrations and speech in favor of the
Speaker 4: government's preferred positions, and you severely punish marches and demonstrations
Speaker 4: and speech that oppose the government's favored positions. You give
Speaker 4: excuses like stopping counter revolutionary activity or fighting hate speech
Speaker 4: for shutting down any opposition. You may even have informers
Speaker 4: to ferret out wrong think and report it to the authorities,
Speaker 4: or to employers or to third parties who will engage
Speaker 4: in extra legal but government supported harassment doxing.
Speaker 2: We call it.
Speaker 4: If you do it right. You can have upward of
Speaker 4: ninety percent of your population hating you and your policies,
Speaker 4: but doing and saying nothing about them because everyone in
Speaker 4: the ninety percent thinks they're part of a tiny minority.
Speaker 4: Resistance would seem to be feudile, and this works until
Speaker 4: it doesn't. So we got our own version of that.
Speaker 4: But luckily, at least so far, the government isn't completely in.
Speaker 4: You're talking about that earlier because this study that came
Speaker 4: out that seventy seven percent of college kids disagreed that
Speaker 4: gender identity should override biological sex and sports. Wow, but
Speaker 4: would not college kids Almost eighty percent this seventy seven
Speaker 4: percent believed what I just said, but would not voice
Speaker 4: that disagreement aloud. Three quarters of college students said they
Speaker 4: didn't agree with that whole boys and girls sports, but
Speaker 4: would not say it out loud.
Speaker 2: So we have a cultural thing on it. You add
Speaker 2: on to it a government position like they've gotten Great Britain. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you could stifle a lot of thought.
Speaker 4: Wow, that's an excellent point. It's an entirely well, it's
Speaker 4: the administration, which is the government of a college campus.
Speaker 4: Come to think of it, I was gonna say it's
Speaker 4: a completely non government enforcement of preference falsification, but just
Speaker 4: a different form of government now that I think about it.
Speaker 4: And then he gets into some of the particulars of
Speaker 4: the British situation that I'll just I'll pick and choose
Speaker 4: a couple of them. The problem with preference falsification is
Speaker 4: that sooner or later, some event or development can make
Speaker 4: people realize that what they've been told is popular is
Speaker 4: in fact very unpopular. When this happens, as Duke University
Speaker 4: scholar Timor Koran writes in his book Private Truths, Public Lies,
Speaker 4: the result is a preference cascade, which a large yeah
Speaker 4: when large swaths of the population realize their dissident views
Speaker 4: are in fact widely held, they become less afraid of
Speaker 4: the government and less hesitant about sharing their true sentiments,
Speaker 4: or I would say social pressure, or they become less
Speaker 4: afraid of their college administrators, or what have.
Speaker 2: All kinds of stuff, the border, the trans stuff, prominent pronouns,
Speaker 2: boys and girls, sports, just saying you like Trump. Remember
Speaker 2: after the election, all of a sudden, I saw an
Speaker 2: explosion of Trump T shirts and hats and stuff like that,
Speaker 2: where people thought, wow, there's way more people agree with
Speaker 2: me than I.
Speaker 4: Thought right, and all of that is what's happening now
Speaker 4: in Britain after string of cases in which migrants sexually
Speaker 4: assaulted local girls and women and groomed them and had
Speaker 4: raped across the United Kingdom people including large numbers of
Speaker 4: middle aged and middle class women, not the far right
Speaker 4: skinheads that Starmer and his ill claim stoke all anti
Speaker 4: immigrant sentiment. Those women are protesting outside the hotels where
Speaker 4: the government is housing illegal immigrants, shouting send them home
Speaker 4: and protect our girls. And the demonstrations in the last
Speaker 4: two weeks featuring thousands of people carrying Saint George flags
Speaker 4: the traditional singbol of England are too big to hide,
Speaker 4: and they're cropping up in every corner of the nation.
Speaker 4: Largely organized on Facebook and other social media. Starmar's got
Speaker 4: in the government controlled media to present its spin and
Speaker 4: blackout or soft pedal most bad news. Bad news gets
Speaker 4: out in other ways. And he talks about social media.
Speaker 2: Yea, and things are too overwhelming, like our border situation.
Speaker 2: I mean, there's just no way you could hide that.
Speaker 2: But it takes a while to get there.
Speaker 4: Yeah. He mentions a couple of historical cases, like in
Speaker 4: Romania where there was a I got to remember, the
Speaker 4: preference falsification, and then a preference preference cascade where it
Speaker 4: actually pushed out the dictator. Everybody realized everybody hates him
Speaker 4: and they can't kill us all, and they took to
Speaker 4: the streets and they took their country back. His conclusion,
Speaker 4: the British establishment would have been better served to let
Speaker 4: its citizens debate immigration questions openly and fairly. It did
Speaker 4: not do so because it knew it would lose such
Speaker 4: a debate. Instead, it foisted upon it, foisted open borders
Speaker 4: on a nation that didn't want them, then tried to
Speaker 4: silence opposition. Now we're watching as the regime's strategy collapses.
Speaker 4: Will it end in Starmar's ouster or worse in violence?
Speaker 4: Either way, the aftermath will be ugly.
Speaker 2: Wow, that's pretty interesting.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's some really good writing. Kudos to Glenn Harlan's
Speaker 4: Reynolds of University at Tennessee.
Speaker 2: More to say about that, but I'm sure it'll be
Speaker 2: back in the news again before you know it. It's
Speaker 2: gonna be around, maybe for the rest of our lifetimes.
Speaker 2: Trump just said so pretty important stuff about his meeting
Speaker 2: with Putin that will happen tomorrow. We'll get that next.
Speaker 10: The second meeting is going to be very very important.
Speaker 10: This meeting sets up It's like a chess game. This
Speaker 10: meeting sets up the second meeting. But there is a
Speaker 10: twenty five percent chance that this meeting will not be
Speaker 10: a successful meeting, which case I will run the country.
Speaker 10: And we have made America great again already in six months.
Speaker 2: So Trump in an interview this morning talking about his
Speaker 2: meeting with Putin tomorrow. He went on to say in
Speaker 2: the interview, I think Putin wants to get it done.
Speaker 2: I really feel like he wanted the whole thing. I
Speaker 2: think if it weren't me, if it was somebody else,
Speaker 2: he would not be talking to anybody. I'm the toughest
Speaker 2: one he's ever had to deal with. He's never had
Speaker 2: to deal with anybody like me. Trump has got to
Speaker 2: throw in there in his usual way, and he.
Speaker 4: Also self aggrandizing but also accurate.
Speaker 2: And that he's never had to nobody's ever dealt with
Speaker 2: anything with anybody like you. That's true. Trump said that
Speaker 2: a successful meeting tomorrow could result in him staying in
Speaker 2: Alaska to host the follow up meeting with Zelensky. I
Speaker 2: wonder if the Secret Service was like what we might
Speaker 2: be what. Okay, I guess we've a find a hotel,
Speaker 2: clear that out and everything.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Wow. I mean I haven't heard, but I assume Trump's
Speaker 2: flying there tomorrow or is he going today and spending
Speaker 2: the night in Anchorage. I don't know.
Speaker 4: I haven't heard, but boy, that's so interesting. I've never
Speaker 4: heard of anything like that, saying look, let's get together
Speaker 4: and if it's.
Speaker 2: Worth it, we'll just stay. You'll hash this out. I
Speaker 2: now believe he's convinced he's going to make a deal.
Speaker 2: I'm going to know very quickly, he said. Trump described
Speaker 2: the high profile encounter as a preliminary step toward peace,
Speaker 2: saying I don't know that we're going to get an
Speaker 2: immediate cease fire, but I think it's going to come
Speaker 2: depending on what happens with my meeting. I'm gonna call
Speaker 2: President Zolensky and let's get him over here for wherever
Speaker 2: we're gonna meet. I don't know where we're gonna have
Speaker 2: the second meeting, but we have an idea of three
Speaker 2: different locations will be including the possibility because it would
Speaker 2: be the easiest of just staying in Alaska. Well, if
Speaker 2: if like you, and I think Putin's entire goal is
Speaker 2: to drag this out. Even if he ultimately plans on
Speaker 2: doing some sort of deal, he wants to drag it
Speaker 2: out as long as possible.
Speaker 4: Yeah, because he's.
Speaker 2: Still fighting a war and you know, and he wants
Speaker 2: to put off the sanctions and everything like that. So
Speaker 2: the idea of sure, let's just meet tomorrow and bringing
Speaker 2: Zelensky seems like a complete zero percent chance to me.
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, the only way that would like conceivably work
Speaker 4: is if he, as I was saying earlier, includes Ukraine
Speaker 4: in a big package of issues that's so attractive to Trump.
Speaker 4: Trump thinks, yeah, okay, yeah, let's get that quick Gland
Speaker 4: swap going with Ukraine. Then let's do all this other stuff.
Speaker 4: It's good for the country, it's good for the economy,
Speaker 4: blah blah blah, it makes me look great. Let's get
Speaker 4: this done. But then, of course, the sticking point is
Speaker 4: Zelenski's going to come in. The Ukrainian people are going
Speaker 4: to say uh no, and Europe too, for that matter.
Speaker 2: Trump then said, if it's a bad meeting, I'm not
Speaker 2: calling anybody. I'm going home.
Speaker 4: He did say that take to get from DC to Anchorage.
Speaker 2: On Air Force one. I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't know how fast they fly. Do they get
Speaker 2: to fly like because they don't have to worry about
Speaker 2: how much fuel they use like normal airlines, your plane
Speaker 2: could fly faster, that just would take so much fuel
Speaker 2: and costs so much. But he doesn't have to worry
Speaker 2: about that. He did say I would say I'll have
Speaker 2: a press conference in either event, but I'm not going
Speaker 2: to call anybody. I'm just going to go home. If
Speaker 2: it's a negative, I'll have a press conference to say
Speaker 2: that the war is going to go on and these
Speaker 2: people are horribly going to continue to shoot each other
Speaker 2: and kill each other, and I think it's a disgrace,
Speaker 2: and I'll head back to Washington.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't see Putin participating in the press conference.
Speaker 4: The more I think about it, I guess it's been
Speaker 4: the news has been floated that yes, they're going to
Speaker 4: have one with both of them, But the pewteral beeg
Speaker 4: off unless he thinks he can score propaganda points. But
Speaker 4: I'll be very surprised if he's there.
Speaker 2: Trump said this, which I'm sure i'll see on the
Speaker 2: critics cable channels today I've stopped six wars this year.
Speaker 2: This was going to be one of my easy ones,
Speaker 2: but it never worked out that way. This turns out
Speaker 2: to be probably the most difficult. Yeah. I think a
Speaker 2: lot of people thought it was going to be pretty difficult.
Speaker 4: It was going to be one of the easy ones.
Speaker 2: In your head.
Speaker 5: Maybe I loved the way he talks about that sort
Speaker 5: of stuff.
Speaker 2: It's so refreshing compared to the whole so guarded, don't
Speaker 2: want to say the wrong thing. They never say anything BSD.
Speaker 2: You get out of most politics if it goes poorly.
Speaker 2: I'm not calling anybody. I'm going home. Yeah, yep, here's
Speaker 2: your host for final thoughts, Joe Getty.
Speaker 4: Let's get a final thought from the whole crew. How
Speaker 4: about that? Michael Angelow lead us off from the control
Speaker 4: room hit.
Speaker 11: It just remind people that tomorrow at three point thirty
Speaker 11: Eastern is when they meet, and so after that you
Speaker 11: can start watching for news and stuff. And also if
Speaker 11: the second meeting, if there is a second meeting, then
Speaker 11: they get to be buddies. Maybe they will working Anchorage
Speaker 11: McDonald's together for pres wouldn't that be cool?
Speaker 4: Trump did that campaign stunt? Yes, fabulous? Good times Katie
Speaker 4: Green are a steam Newswoman. As a final thought, Katie.
Speaker 8: I think to take Putin down a couple of notches. True,
Speaker 8: Trump should start calling him Pooter.
Speaker 4: Wow, give him a nickname.
Speaker 2: That's it. Yeah, exactly. My fine final thought. I want
Speaker 2: him to treat Putin like he treated Rand Paul in
Speaker 2: the debate. I wanted to be just like picture Chris
Speaker 2: Christie's head on Putin's body when you're talking Trump, that's
Speaker 2: the way to do it.
Speaker 4: How about this friend nickname Pooh Pooh.
Speaker 2: Yes, poopole over there wants to kill children.
Speaker 4: So my final thought, I didn't get back to this
Speaker 4: the whole Washington DC conspiracy to lower their crime rates
Speaker 4: by misreporting crimes. I'm looking at one of the transcripts
Speaker 4: from an undercover recording and they're literally saying to each other,
Speaker 4: all right, so the way we lower crime rates is
Speaker 4: to change how we report crimes, right right? I mean
Speaker 4: it's ABC one, two, three, absolutely clear. But the mainstream
Speaker 4: media has been reporting Trump goes crazy because crime is
Speaker 4: actually way down. Washington DC ignoring this lawsuit.
