Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe, Getty.
Speaker 2: Armstrong and Jetty and he.
Speaker 1: Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 3: So much radio goodness for you. I mean a six
Speaker 3: pound show and a five pound bag. That's when we've
Speaker 3: got crafted for you to kick off a brand new week.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be really challenging to squeeze it all in.
Speaker 2: We ought to talk about the giant bust of illegal immigrants,
Speaker 2: including many many gang members, guns, drugs, etc. And charming
Speaker 2: Colorado springs, the budding relationship between the US and India
Speaker 2: that might be among our most important going you know,
Speaker 2: through the next fifty years.
Speaker 3: Joe doesn't want to talk about the two year old
Speaker 3: who was booted out to the country with how do
Speaker 3: process who has cancer?
Speaker 2: That's that two year old was a gang member. I'm
Speaker 2: fine with it.
Speaker 3: That's the portrayal of mainstream media. Marco Rubio has a
Speaker 3: different take on that story. We can get to later
Speaker 3: this hour.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, but first a brand new feature at And
Speaker 2: because I like to put names on feature atts, we
Speaker 2: need to choose a name. And Michael, I'm going to
Speaker 2: leave this up to you. You know how we have
Speaker 2: a look in the China cabinet about stories about China. Yeah,
Speaker 2: well these are all stories about Canada. I got it.
Speaker 2: I got it already. Well you've got it. I have
Speaker 2: three choices here, Oh okay, and my own, but go ahead.
Speaker 2: Well let's let's hear your what's yours moose musines? Oh lord,
Speaker 2: moose musings from Canada.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 2: Well let's you know what will take your consideration under
Speaker 2: advisement and keep it on file. Here are your three choices.
Speaker 2: Opening a can of Canada not good? Two Canada more
Speaker 2: than snow and moose other moose friends? Or yes we Canada.
Speaker 2: I like that. I do like that. Good welcome to
Speaker 2: Yes we Canada. Look at our neighbor to the north.
Speaker 2: That's a very churchy version of the national anthem.
Speaker 3: Estanda does have a cool national anthem that I only
Speaker 3: hear if the Toronto Blue Jays are in the World
Speaker 3: Series or the.
Speaker 2: You know, if you're a hockey fan, you hear it
Speaker 2: all the time. Yeah, that's I hate to interrupt it
Speaker 2: and cause more strength between our two countries. So hear
Speaker 2: a couple of stories about Canada label obsession, grips Canada shoppers,
Speaker 2: have shunned American products. You know, maybe I shouldn't have
Speaker 2: led with that one. The Trump unnecessarily humiliating Canada over
Speaker 2: and over again, this is my opinion, in the name
Speaker 2: of humiliating young mister Trudeau, Pennyways Trudeau there has turned
Speaker 2: Canada staunchly against the United States. A lot of Canadians
Speaker 2: because they are patriots and they're proud of their country
Speaker 2: and there was just no reason to debate them like that.
Speaker 2: But probably most significantly certain Marco Rubio doubled down on
Speaker 2: that yesterday. What do you say on facination?
Speaker 3: Well, he was asked about does Trump want to make
Speaker 3: Canada the fifty first state?
Speaker 2: And Marco said, well.
Speaker 3: The reason for this was Canada saying that they can't
Speaker 3: support themselves with their current blah blah blah blah blah,
Speaker 3: and so Donald Trump just made the point that, well,
Speaker 3: if you can't support yourself financially on your own, maybe
Speaker 3: you should become the fifty first state. And he said,
Speaker 3: I haven't seen any indication that they are in better
Speaker 3: financial shape now.
Speaker 2: So yeah, that is absolutely why he said that, But
Speaker 2: he laid it on a bit thick. In my opinion,
Speaker 2: one of our closest friends and trading partners has now
Speaker 2: been turned against US. And old Pierre Pouliev, who I
Speaker 2: liked very much, who looked like a shoe in to
Speaker 2: be the next prime minister because he is somewhat associated
Speaker 2: with trumpiness and the Left Labor Party has gone full
Speaker 2: on anti Trump. It looks like they might win the
Speaker 2: next election, which is this week actually, but we'll see.
Speaker 2: We'll see. Polls are often misleading.
Speaker 3: And this guy that if he won, the left guy won,
Speaker 3: would he be to the left of Trudeau?
Speaker 2: Hard to say. He's a much more practical guy. He's
Speaker 2: a banker and diplomat and uh wear panti because we
Speaker 2: wear panties, you know what. I there, He isn't a
Speaker 2: pink time maybe Jerry's still out. Uh So we'll have
Speaker 2: to see how that election goes. But evidently boycotting American
Speaker 2: products has really taken hold in Canada. Canada has a
Speaker 2: label fixation. As tensions with their neighbors rise, Canadians are
Speaker 2: turning away from US made products to appeal increasingly anti
Speaker 2: American shoppers. Brands and retailers are touting and in some cases,
Speaker 2: embellishing their Canadian credentials. In a practice that's become known
Speaker 2: as maple washing or maple glazing. Wow.
Speaker 3: I always wondered to what extent this stuff is actually happening.
Speaker 3: I remember, after France wouldn't help us in the Iraq War,
Speaker 3: there was the whole freedom fries thing, which was more
Speaker 3: which was more words than I don't know. I mean,
Speaker 3: did you abandon French fries?
Speaker 2: I don't know. No, no, I should, but I didn't.
Speaker 2: Labels like designed in Canada, prepared for Canada, distilled in Canada,
Speaker 2: and proudly serving Canadians are proliferating, puzzling shoppers looking for
Speaker 2: a country of origin information anyway, So that's a thing.
Speaker 2: How long it's a thing and how big a thing?
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Let's see, we already did that. And then I thought
Speaker 2: that this was interesting. Here's the headline from the Wall
Speaker 2: Street Journal, why smart Canadians are fleeing for the US.
Speaker 2: And this is to the truth behind what Trump said
Speaker 2: and what Rubio was echoing. Although sometimes you can do
Speaker 2: the right thing in the wrong way, and I still
Speaker 2: say there's no reason the alienated or good buddies the Canadians.
Speaker 2: But the subhead to this article is it started with
Speaker 2: Justin Trudeau's father, Pierre, who destroyed accountability in Ottawa. And
Speaker 2: this is the interesting part to me, and the quote, actually, Jack,
Speaker 2: what you were describing When Justin Trudeau responded to Trump's
Speaker 2: suggestion that the threat of tariffs might prompt Canada to
Speaker 2: spend more on defense and border protection, Trudeau said Canada
Speaker 2: cannot then survive as a nation state, and Trump said, well,
Speaker 2: maybe Canada be better off as the fifty first state.
Speaker 2: I still find that funny.
Speaker 1: It is.
Speaker 2: Look, just because it's funny doesn't mean you should have
Speaker 2: said it. Didn't your dad say that to me at
Speaker 2: some time? Yeah? Yeah, as did mine. Anyway, and they
Speaker 2: go into Canada, forty million people, enormous natural resources, vast
Speaker 2: swallows of land, natural wealth, blah blah blah, and Trudeau
Speaker 2: thought a tiff Reno negotiation could be the end of
Speaker 2: his country. I mean, come on now. But this is
Speaker 2: where it gets so interesting. Missing in debates about free
Speaker 2: trading tariffs is discussion about the movement of people people
Speaker 2: between US and Canada. The Census Bureau says one hundred
Speaker 2: and twenty six thousand Canadians moved to the US in
Speaker 2: twenty twenty two, which is up from seventy five twenty twelve.
Speaker 2: It's that's almost double, it's two thirds more. Among those
Speaker 2: headed south are Canada's top technical talents, attracted by high salaries,
Speaker 2: wide varieties of work, and greater career options. You got
Speaker 2: the University of Waterloo software engineering class, it's one of
Speaker 2: the top ones up there. More than seventy percent accepted
Speaker 2: jobs in the US. And a calculation puts the wealth
Speaker 2: transfer from the exodus of so many smart young Canadians
Speaker 2: at tens a billion dollars a year, if not hundreds
Speaker 2: of billions. It's difficult to put a financial value on that.
Speaker 2: But if all of your best and bright to say, yeah,
Speaker 2: thanks for the education, by I'm off to the States. Sure,
Speaker 2: the numbers floating around the tariff debate are a rounding
Speaker 2: error compared to the brain drain numbers. And the weakening
Speaker 2: of Canada has a lot to do with the disastrous
Speaker 2: fiscal and regulatory policies started by old Man Trudeau in
Speaker 2: the seventies. And that's when Canada's brain drain began, and
Speaker 2: accountability has never been restored. And here's the part that's
Speaker 2: all about governance. If Canada wants stronger negotiation positions, on trade.
Speaker 2: It should reform domestic fiscal and regulatory policies to retain
Speaker 2: talent and attract more from the rest of the world. Instead,
Speaker 2: Canada is trying to force people to stay. This week,
Speaker 2: Quebec's provincial government passed a bill compelling new doctors to
Speaker 2: spend their first five years of their careers working in
Speaker 2: Quebec's public health network WOW, and doctors who take a
Speaker 2: job in the private sector moved to another province before
Speaker 2: the five years are over face fines of as much
Speaker 2: as two daily finds of up to two hundred thousand
Speaker 2: Canadian dollars per day.
Speaker 3: When you're having to find or threaten people to get
Speaker 3: people to stay in your country, that's a problem.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would say tariffs and taxes don't make societies
Speaker 2: prosper retaining and attracting skilled discipline people who believe in
Speaker 2: their countries future does Think of seventeenth century Amsterdam, post
Speaker 2: war West Germany, Singapore, Hong Kong, Israel, and the US
Speaker 2: all experienced a massive in migration, drain of brains. All
Speaker 2: had decentralized deep financial markets and decentralization, I should say,
Speaker 2: and gradual access to welfare benefits not you move in
Speaker 2: and you've got free welfare like Canada does it does
Speaker 2: there even worse than us. Restricting the movement of people
Speaker 2: only leads to more rose unstable societies that blame others
Speaker 2: for the failures. I had never heard a word about
Speaker 2: the brain drain from Canada. I found that very enlightening.
Speaker 2: That's your Yes, we Canada.
Speaker 3: I get.
Speaker 2: A loose noise and then it ends, I don't know,
Speaker 2: Michael's something else, a moose noise, the bellow of the
Speaker 2: mighty moose.
Speaker 3: So whenever I drive away from my house, my house,
Speaker 3: that's funny.
Speaker 2: Oh wow, it's like Canadian is infectious.
Speaker 3: Right, we talk about Canada and that just slips into
Speaker 3: my vocabulary.
Speaker 2: It slipped out of you.
Speaker 3: When I drive away from my house, I'm happy to
Speaker 3: see my simply safe sign that alerts people that I've
Speaker 3: got cameras, indoors, outdoors, active guard life protection there going on.
Speaker 2: That keeps my house safe. And it costs about a
Speaker 2: dollar a day, which is amazing. Oh, it's amazing, especially
Speaker 2: given the technology that's behind their monitoring and FBI crime
Speaker 2: data shows breakings are more likely during the day than
Speaker 2: under the cloak and night, which is interesting. So you
Speaker 2: got simply safe Active guard outdoor protection that helps prevent
Speaker 2: breakings before they happen. AI powered cameras backed by live
Speaker 2: professional monitoring agents monitor your property, deterst suspicious actor, or
Speaker 2: detect suspicious activity. And if somebody is acting suspiciously, the
Speaker 2: agents can see and talk to them in real time,
Speaker 2: call the cops, activate spotlights, you name it. And they're
Speaker 2: no long term contracts or cancellation fees, and as Jack
Speaker 2: pointed out, monitoring plans to affordably around a bucket day
Speaker 2: visit simply safe dot com slash armstrong. Save fifty percent
Speaker 2: off your new system with a professional monitoring plangage first
Speaker 2: month free. That's simply safe dot com slash armstrong. There's
Speaker 2: no safe like simply safe.
Speaker 3: So we were my son and I were in San
Speaker 3: Francisco Saturday night when the Warriors were playing in the
Speaker 3: NBA playoffs in there, just down the street, and I
Speaker 3: wish I had been popped into my head out I'd
Speaker 3: gotten a ticket and gone to a game. I really
Speaker 3: should have done that anyway. Steph Curry looked like he
Speaker 3: was twenty five and not thirty five, and Warriors up
Speaker 3: to one, but Lakers are three to one in their
Speaker 3: first round series. That's bad news for the NBA if
Speaker 3: their biggest stars get eliminated. AnyWho the NBA playoffs. The
Speaker 3: NBA playoffs last two months. That's ridiculous. Uh, that's ridiculous.
Speaker 3: That's like a season. Yes, and teams make the playoffs
Speaker 3: who are way below five hundred.
Speaker 2: Also, that's also to say, what is the word joke?
Speaker 3: So we never got to Scott Pelly, who ended sixty
Speaker 3: Minutes last night with a bit of a blast about.
Speaker 2: You never got to Scott Pelly.
Speaker 3: Independence and journalism and how important it is, which is
Speaker 3: kind of funny on the heels of a few things.
Speaker 3: Sixty minutes is done in the last couple of years.
Speaker 2: But it's kind of funny on my heels.
Speaker 3: And if you're gonna do a Scott Pelley, you gotta
Speaker 3: wear a tight dress shirt with your big giant arms
Speaker 3: so everybody knows giant arm. I'm not sure everybody can
Speaker 3: see my bicep in this shirt. Can we tell her
Speaker 3: this shirt.
Speaker 2: A little tighter? What Scott, the fabric is straining to
Speaker 2: contain your guns? Still that and other stuff on the
Speaker 2: way stay here Art.
Speaker 4: Maybe we should pump the brakes on the new trend
Speaker 4: of selling pharmaceuticals by way of promotional tie ins with
Speaker 4: movies for children.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 4: Snow White has partnered with Allegra because Allegra helps you
Speaker 4: not be sleepy or sneezy. Get it, so kids, Remember,
Speaker 4: if you're bashful, try riddling. If you're dopey, take adderall
Speaker 4: and uh, if you're grumpy, ask doc if.
Speaker 2: Prozac is right for you. Some fine jokes. But yeah,
Speaker 2: that that movie's got to partner with something, although we're
Speaker 2: going to see it are as.
Speaker 3: You pointed out some good dwarf jokes based on their nicknames.
Speaker 3: But am I bothered that major pharmaceutical company is joined
Speaker 3: with a promotion of a movie.
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't think I am.
Speaker 3: Of all the things I need to be worried about
Speaker 3: in the world, that's not one of them.
Speaker 2: It was an excuse to get to those jokes with
Speaker 2: those dwarfs. They get their nickname, like Sneezy. What if
Speaker 2: I have a cough, Hey, let's call him Kaufo for
Speaker 2: the rest of his life. Whoa dude, I've got like
Speaker 2: a respiratory thing for a week and now I'm Kaufo. Yes, Sneezy, please,
Speaker 2: I might be kaufo.
Speaker 3: I've been sick for going on three weeks, same disease
Speaker 3: for three weeks. Although I get sick easily, I'm weak.
Speaker 3: The herd should kick me to the side and let
Speaker 3: the lions eat me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're having the final vote today.
Speaker 3: That but anyway, so Bill Maher Friday Night HBOI has
Speaker 3: al Gore on who Al Gore was elected of vice
Speaker 3: president thirty two years ago?
Speaker 2: Is that right?
Speaker 1: Wow?
Speaker 3: And is still a year long younger than our current president.
Speaker 3: That's quite chucking the math on that. AnyWho, he was
Speaker 3: talking to Bill Maher about the Internet, and you really.
Speaker 4: Did You really were instrumental in the Internet.
Speaker 5: I can never claim to have invented it, but actually
Speaker 5: moving the what was a small network in the Defense
Speaker 5: Department to public access that became the Internet was something
Speaker 5: that I worked on with others when I was in
Speaker 5: the House in the Senate, and then it really came
Speaker 5: into fruition after I got into the White House. But
Speaker 5: we passed the legislation putting a billion dollars a year
Speaker 5: into it, and that's what really lifted it up.
Speaker 4: As I say, you're the devil for doing that, Well,
Speaker 4: they really after you for that yeah.
Speaker 2: And you know to the Internet. We all use it every.
Speaker 3: Day, honest to God, not being jokey. Here are we
Speaker 3: better off with the Internet or without it?
Speaker 2: That is? Uh, I think we're better off without it.
Speaker 2: If there were a way to achieve some of the
Speaker 2: positives that avoided the negatives, I would be in favor
Speaker 2: of him. Absolutely, willing to spend time and money to
Speaker 2: pursue it.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, there are tremendous benefits. But I don't give me.
Speaker 2: You know, some youths that feel more connected thanks to
Speaker 2: social media go to hell. Well, you didn't give that
Speaker 2: person much time.
Speaker 3: If it destroys society, which it's working on, I think.
Speaker 2: I don't know. No positives outweigh that, do they not? Really?
Speaker 3: No? If people stop having kids because of Internet porn
Speaker 3: and human beings go away, you can't say, yeah, but
Speaker 3: it was easier to read.
Speaker 2: The New York Times. I mean, come on, right, right,
Speaker 2: I get pictures of my grandchildren more quickly. Okay, wait, wait,
Speaker 2: you don't have any grandchildren in this scenario.
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: What that might be among the most consequential decisions human
Speaker 3: kind ever made, right up there with the split in
Speaker 3: the atom, is deciding to fund taking that primarily military
Speaker 3: academic thing and making it available to everyone.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you know, the ai'll kill us while the
Speaker 2: Internet is still working at killing us.
Speaker 3: So we would AI be the thing that it will
Speaker 3: be without the Internet. I'm not I don't know if
Speaker 3: you can separate.
Speaker 2: Them like that. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 3: Well, Bill Mark clearly had the attitude of your you're
Speaker 3: the devil for bringing us Internet.
Speaker 2: I think a lot of people feel that way. One
Speaker 2: of the wise things ever said is not all change
Speaker 2: is progress?
Speaker 3: Boy, the information landscape, the trouble your kids can get into.
Speaker 3: Oh my god. Joe mentioned the new poll out about
Speaker 3: the media. It is well earned.
Speaker 2: More on the way Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 3: I just mistook a thumbs up for a point. Michael
Speaker 3: gave me the thumbs up about something. I interpreted it
Speaker 3: as a point and started talking when it was merely
Speaker 3: a I've got the clip you wanted, so thumbs up
Speaker 3: in point two. Very different hand gestures.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 3: I would have taken off to steal second and they'd
Speaker 3: been like, what are you doing? Get thrown out by
Speaker 3: a mile. I thought you gave me the slide the
Speaker 3: steel signal. No, what that's the stay there you did
Speaker 3: on the bench, Armstrong. The White House Correspondence dinner was
Speaker 3: over the weekend. I didn't even know what happened, and
Speaker 3: it got no attention because Trump doesn't do them, remember,
Speaker 3: and for good reason. I mean, it would just be
Speaker 3: ridiculous because they all hate him so much and there's
Speaker 3: so incredibly unfair. I mean, there'd be no fun in it.
Speaker 3: It would just be vicious hatred show up to be abused. Yeah,
Speaker 3: sounds great.
Speaker 1: Of course.
Speaker 3: The interesting thing about the White House Correspondents dinner is
Speaker 3: that's what started the whole thing. Trump at one while
Speaker 3: Obama was President Obama making fun of Trump because Obama
Speaker 3: was pissed off about the whole birth certificate thing. Trump
Speaker 3: sitting there stewing as everybody laughed at him, and there
Speaker 3: grew the colonel of hatred that became his presidential run.
Speaker 2: The rest is history.
Speaker 3: Speaking of the media, so oh, we're gonna play a
Speaker 3: little bit of the lead speaker was a guy from
Speaker 3: Axios calling out the media for not doing a good job.
Speaker 2: And I guess we have it. Let's listen to it now.
Speaker 6: President Biden's decline and it's cover up by the people
Speaker 6: around him is a reminder that every White House, regardless
Speaker 6: of party, is capable of deception. But being truth tellers
Speaker 6: also means telling the truth about ourselves. We myself included,
Speaker 6: missed a lot of this story, and some people trust.
Speaker 2: Us less because of it.
Speaker 6: Wow, we bear some responsibility for faith in the media
Speaker 6: being at such lows.
Speaker 2: I want to talk to these people. I think he's sincere.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I want to talk to him and say, dude,
Speaker 3: let me tell you how it looks to the rest
Speaker 3: of us. It looks like you'd have to be mentally
Speaker 3: retarded to not pick up on the fact that the
Speaker 3: president was completely out of it. And you know what,
Speaker 3: My proof is, eighty five percent of America agreed with
Speaker 3: me and not you and your other media people.
Speaker 2: How do you explain that. I mean, he's quite correct,
Speaker 2: but it feels like you walk into a room in
Speaker 2: the there's a guy clutching an axe, surrounded by dead bodies,
Speaker 2: and he says, you know what, I need to admit
Speaker 2: I think I have an anger problem. Well, it's true
Speaker 2: as far as it goes, But come on, buddy, I
Speaker 2: don't think.
Speaker 3: There's any answer he could give other than we're so
Speaker 3: married to the idea of pushing our political point of
Speaker 3: view that we blind ourselves to obvious things. I've blind
Speaker 3: oled myself to some obvious things in my life, so
Speaker 3: I know it can happen. It's highly troubling when you
Speaker 3: come to a realization.
Speaker 2: Because you wonder a human condition.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you wonder how many other things have I done
Speaker 3: this with or am doing right now?
Speaker 2: It's highly troubling. But if I might punch up your
Speaker 2: script for a second, I would say, you need to
Speaker 2: admit that you will miss stories that are so enormous
Speaker 2: historic and career making. They would be great for you
Speaker 2: as a journalist to ignore them because they make you
Speaker 2: uncomfortable politically. Well, I don't know if they would have.
Speaker 3: I think if you'd have stuck your neck out, you'd
Speaker 3: have been you'd had your head cut off, you'd lost
Speaker 3: your job.
Speaker 2: Ah, you'd have gotten a gig hosting an evening show
Speaker 2: on Fox News and become rich. That is wild.
Speaker 3: Though we missed the story. Yeah, one of the biggest
Speaker 3: stories in US history. Then again, everybody else saw. It's
Speaker 3: not like it was a fifty to fifty issue out
Speaker 3: in the country or nobody knew and you should have
Speaker 3: uncovered it or something.
Speaker 2: Right, right. It was not the water keep breaking? Good lord? Yeah,
Speaker 2: I know, how about that Batpur.
Speaker 3: I think that fits in a little bit with what
Speaker 3: you're about to hear from Scott Pelly. So we mentioned
Speaker 3: last week the guy runs sixty Minutes resigned or stepping down.
Speaker 3: He's leaving his job. And they've only had three people
Speaker 3: in that job since the early sixties when sixty Minutes started.
Speaker 3: It's not like this high turnover rate in that job.
Speaker 3: He feels like his statement last week was the he
Speaker 3: doesn't have independent control now to do whatever he wants.
Speaker 3: He's being told what stories he can government can't govern,
Speaker 3: all right, So I guess Scott Pelly, one of the
Speaker 3: lead hosts on sixty Minutes, felt like at the end
Speaker 3: of the show he needed to weigh in.
Speaker 7: Bill resigned Tuesday. It was hard on him and hard
Speaker 7: on us, but he did it for us and you.
Speaker 7: Stories we pursued for fifty seven years are often controversial lately,
Speaker 7: the Israel Gazo war and the Trump administration. Bill made
Speaker 7: sure they were accurate and fair. He was tough that way. No,
Speaker 7: but our parent company, Paramount is trying to complete a merger.
Speaker 7: The Trump administration must approve it. Paramount began to supervise
Speaker 7: our content in new ways. None of our stories has
Speaker 7: been blocked. But Bill felt he lost the independence that
Speaker 7: honest journalism requires. No one hears happy about it. But
Speaker 7: in resigning Bill proved one thing. He was the right
Speaker 7: person to lead sixty Minutes all along.
Speaker 2: All right, So both things are true. Yes, they're trying
Speaker 2: to curry favor with the Trump administration. So the DEEA
Speaker 2: or Justice Department or FEC or FCC approves the murder. Meanwhile,
Speaker 2: the idea that we have been honest and true and
Speaker 2: fair and balanced all these years and now our overlords
Speaker 2: are twisting our arms. You're ridiculous, Scott.
Speaker 8: That is.
Speaker 3: Hilarious, really, I mean come on, yeah, wow, especially now.
Speaker 3: I mean cause there have been stories in the last
Speaker 3: couple of months that we remarked on on Monday mornings,
Speaker 3: like did you see that on sixty minutes last night?
Speaker 3: Oh my god, how about they talked to one person
Speaker 3: with a different point of view on this story. I
Speaker 3: mean it was he did this for himself and for
Speaker 3: us and for you.
Speaker 2: Oh, vomit, vomit. Yeah. Yeah. We could get back into
Speaker 2: the numbers, which are quite astounding of people's attitudes about
Speaker 2: the media, which have declined because of this, because of
Speaker 2: what you just heard.
Speaker 3: How yeah, the both things the guy from Axios, we
Speaker 3: missed a big story.
Speaker 2: What Scott Pella. We know, we all know, literally everyone
Speaker 2: knows you missed it. We were talking about it while
Speaker 2: you were.
Speaker 8: Missing it, right, Yeah, it's not like it's not like
Speaker 8: we even kept this secret. We were having Hey, have
Speaker 8: you noticed how the president is senile, nice, sperd than
Speaker 8: ever And if you don't like it, fu this is
Speaker 8: the best Joe Biden ever.
Speaker 1: Mess with them in a work unless you want to
Speaker 1: get the better.
Speaker 3: And then the sixty minutes things a little more subtle,
Speaker 3: because I'm sure there are people on the left who
Speaker 3: think sixty minutes is playing a fair down the line,
Speaker 3: but that's not the way most of America feels about
Speaker 3: a lot of those stories in sixty minutes. And so
Speaker 3: you claiming being fair was his ultimate goal every single day?
Speaker 3: What are you talking about? So you end up with
Speaker 3: these pool numbers?
Speaker 2: Do you have a great deal of trust and confidence
Speaker 2: in the mass media when it comes to reporting the
Speaker 2: news fully, accurately and fairly. Ninety two percent of Americans
Speaker 2: say no, Only eight percent responded thumbs up to that sentiment,
Speaker 2: and in response, well, actually, almost five times as many Americans,
Speaker 2: four and a half times many Americans say I have
Speaker 2: no confidence at all. I would be in that grip.
Speaker 2: You watch the new clearly true between Senile Biden and
Speaker 2: not only misreporting the truth about so many COVID related issues,
Speaker 2: from the shutdown, to the lab league, to the kids
Speaker 2: being very to the schools being closed, far from just
Speaker 2: missing all of those truths, they aggressively stamped out wherever
Speaker 2: they could find it anybody was telling the truth.
Speaker 3: Well, and then how many times did you have to
Speaker 3: hear during the campaign Donald Trump, who promised a blood
Speaker 3: bath if he loses. Oh yeah, I mean there's so
Speaker 3: there are so many examples of your not even trying.
Speaker 2: Right, right, that's how blind and bubble they are. So yeah, anyway,
Speaker 2: that's cute, Scott, All right, Fine, you've become insufferable in
Speaker 2: a shadow of what you once were, and Paramount is saying, hey, dudes,
Speaker 2: you've become a joke. You gotta hew a little closer
Speaker 2: to the center just so you're you get your blinders off.
Speaker 2: And for that, Scott Pelley talks in his sad voice.
Speaker 3: Well, and they left out that Redstone woman, who is
Speaker 3: the incredibly wealthy daughter who owns CBS. She she said, Oh,
Speaker 3: it's some of these stories you've done recently.
Speaker 2: What the heck?
Speaker 1: She can see his.
Speaker 2: Real Palestine conflict and the Trump administration. Oh yeah, because
Speaker 2: your coverage of those two things has been just spot on.
Speaker 2: Scottie boy, Please, you're a joke. Yeah.
Speaker 3: And I don't think he's being I don't think he's lying.
Speaker 3: I think he believes it. Just like that Axios guy,
Speaker 3: watch out for self delusion, Watch out for self. You're
Speaker 3: deluding yourself almost certainly about something right now today.
Speaker 2: Try to figure out what it is. Axios did some
Speaker 2: of the best mainstream coverage of Joe Biden's enility. I
Speaker 2: think that guy is just trying to bring his friends along.
Speaker 2: There's friends. Yeah, he's being a bit more gentle than
Speaker 2: I might be. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I was watching the video as he said that, and
Speaker 3: the crowd didn't look like they were particularly digging that.
Speaker 2: Wow, that delusional.
Speaker 3: I would I would I would love to have been
Speaker 3: and not and not been snarky just saying, I mean
Speaker 3: you you all you literally got Trump elected. You realize that,
Speaker 3: I mean, you all hate Trump. But you're the number
Speaker 3: one reason he got elected, probably because you lied to
Speaker 3: everybody and obst lied.
Speaker 2: That's not true, that's absol So doesn't that bother you
Speaker 2: on that face?
Speaker 3: Since this is not the result you wanted, wouldn't you
Speaker 3: like to be more accurate just for that reason?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 2: You know that reminds me. I came across this. I'm
Speaker 2: glad I thought of it. You remember Nina Jankowitz. She
Speaker 2: was going to be the UH misinformation Czar in the
Speaker 2: Biden White House until it was discovered that she was
Speaker 2: just a flaming progressive nutball butball. So she was doing
Speaker 2: a speech in front of the EU Parliament about Russian misinformation, disinformation,
Speaker 2: that sort of thing. She says, before I describe the
Speaker 2: details of Russia's recent online influence campaigns. I would like
Speaker 2: to call upon you to stand firm against another autocracy,
Speaker 2: the United States of America. And again, this is the
Speaker 2: woman appointed by the Biden administration to be the top
Speaker 2: censor in charge of drawing the lines between what is
Speaker 2: appropriate speech and what should be cut out of social media,
Speaker 2: standing up there saying America is no better than Russia.
Speaker 3: Mary all right, which is the problem, of course, with
Speaker 3: the whole censorship idea, who gets to do the censoring?
Speaker 2: Yes, and anybody you can't see that is so stupid
Speaker 2: you should refrain from joining in the conversation. And the
Speaker 2: adults are talking.
Speaker 3: How about the fact that Dion Sanders kid, who at
Speaker 3: one point people thought would be the number one pick
Speaker 3: in the NFL draft, went in the fifth round over
Speaker 3: the weekend. If you follow sports, it's a big story.
Speaker 3: If you follow sports, shocking because of his attitude. They
Speaker 3: didn't like his attitude. That's the that's the inside word.
Speaker 3: He did an interview with a NFL coach. He allegedly
Speaker 3: had his headphones around his neck but with music playing,
Speaker 3: wearing a big gold chain that said a legend, I
Speaker 3: think or something like that, and the coach said he
Speaker 3: came off as incredibly entitled and and full of self
Speaker 3: regard in a way that was incredibly off putting. Okay,
Speaker 3: so you're acting like your dad acted, except your dad
Speaker 3: had already proved he was one of the best players
Speaker 3: in the history of the NFL when he started talking.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, Yeah, And evidently you know it's a small industry,
Speaker 2: word got around. Wow.
Speaker 3: Hmm.
Speaker 2: Wonder what dad thought of that? How about you leave
Speaker 2: the headphones on the bush and he took a video
Speaker 2: call in the middle of the interview. Wow, now this
Speaker 2: is from a pretty good source.
Speaker 3: I have close to a source that's not a sports
Speaker 3: that's your kid who's going to go out looking for
Speaker 3: a job someday.
Speaker 1: Thing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, teaching me. Can't be all cocky and whatnot. That's
Speaker 3: pretty good. More in the way, stare.
Speaker 9: A massive rate in Colorado Springs, more than three hundred
Speaker 9: federal agents preaching what authorities say was an underground illegal
Speaker 9: nightclub as part of a drug investigation.
Speaker 10: What was happening inside was significant drug trafficking, prostitution, crimes
Speaker 10: of violence.
Speaker 9: All of this the results of a month's long investigation.
Speaker 9: The DA says ICE took more than one hundred people
Speaker 9: who they say were here illegally into custody.
Speaker 3: A hundred people arrested at an underground club full of illegals,
Speaker 3: many of the memis at Thirteen's. According to the Trump administration,
Speaker 3: Well who would you quote, They're the ones who busted
Speaker 3: them anyway.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so a huge hotbed of illegal immigrants. Please, underground nightclub.
Speaker 2: It was a big building full of people drinking and
Speaker 2: dancing and parking their cars and the rest of it.
Speaker 3: Colorado sex for money, also known as prostitution.
Speaker 2: Good lord, and because Colorado is super sanctuary e. I'm
Speaker 2: sure the good people in the Colorado Springs Police Department
Speaker 2: were prevented from doing much about it. The Attorney General
Speaker 2: spoke out on this seventy one Michael.
Speaker 10: During the Biden administration, they received one hundred and seventy
Speaker 10: nine to one one calls to that club alone. That club,
Speaker 10: we were just watching one hundred and seventy calls. Wouldn't
Speaker 10: you think that would have been a red flag? Would
Speaker 10: nothing happen? Guns, shootings, AG batteries? Nothing happened. So under
Speaker 10: Donald Trump, DEA, FBI, US Marshalls atf ICE, everyone went
Speaker 10: in together. Dea led this investigation, went in, got one
Speaker 10: hundred and fifteen illegal immigrants aliens in our country, arrested
Speaker 10: them with warrants, twelve guns.
Speaker 3: Seized twelve guns. Of course, I don't know how many
Speaker 3: guns are in the average nightclub. Actually might be it
Speaker 3: might be about the average.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it depends where you go. Interestingly enough, there were
Speaker 2: some active duty US military of folks, about a half
Speaker 2: dozen found at the club working as armed security or
Speaker 2: patrons and the military. Justice people are going to take
Speaker 2: a look at that. Nobody's been detained, not under rest
Speaker 2: so far, they're just working a side hustle. I guess
Speaker 2: that's the sort of thing that exists and functions in
Speaker 2: your sanctuary environments. And Trump just told the Justice Department
Speaker 2: put together a list of sanctuary cities and states. We're
Speaker 2: going to take a serious look at this funding wise especially.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, this is needed to come to a head
Speaker 3: at the Supreme Court for a long time.
Speaker 2: Can you do this? Can you be a sanctuary city
Speaker 2: or state? I can't.
Speaker 3: I can't believe we haven't looked at this yet decided
Speaker 3: you can ignore federal law or not. I have a
Speaker 3: feeling they're going to say no, No, you don't get
Speaker 3: to do that any more than you could say we
Speaker 3: don't allow the Second Amendment here or anything else.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that'll be an interesting case to follow. I've got
Speaker 2: a preview of some of the cases the Court is
Speaker 2: going to be looking at this year because there's some
Speaker 2: blockbusters coming downline. Also, next hour, the idea of due
Speaker 2: process and deportations a really interesting and wise contrarian view.
Speaker 3: Also next hour, gen Z is bringing back the tramp stamp.
Speaker 3: Apparently young women have decided it's cool again.
Speaker 2: My interaction with the small of young women's backs is
Speaker 2: extremely limited this these days. I didn't know the tramp
Speaker 2: stamp had left. Oh you didn't.
Speaker 3: Oh no, it's yeah. Yeah, there's a reason it's called
Speaker 3: the tramp stamp. It had been popular way back in
Speaker 3: the what early nineties, and then it had become the
Speaker 3: sort of thing that you get removed or don't want
Speaker 3: people to see, and really seen as kind of low rent.
Speaker 2: And now it's making a return. Huh.
Speaker 3: Also, how much haven't I got my h I got
Speaker 3: another good thing for hour for it? Uh, you'll have
Speaker 3: to take my word for it. So we do four
Speaker 3: hours every single day. If you don't get every hour,
